September Babies

I have abandoned my blog for quite a long time because I have to do assignmentssS and study for testssS. I promise I will write more frequently. When September came, I realized I have plenty of Virgo friends. Let me highlight my close friends’ birthday celebration.

Curry Egg: Happy birthday to you. May all your wishes come true. You had a memorable EggieQue moment. =) http://curryegg.blogspot.com/

Pei Saan: Happy birthday to you 090909! (Where are the photos? I have been waiting since 090909. All accidentally deleted??)

Jason Lee: Housemate, happy birthday to you! And congratulation for (n+1) <3 [no more lonelykidd!] hehe.

Makiyo: Happy birthday to you! I am sorry for not being able to turn up on that day (20092009) but I have prepared a present for you. I will upload the photo later since I haven’t given to you.

Happy Raya Aidilfitri to all my Malay friends. Because of you, I have one week holiday and horrible traffic jams! The traffic was terrible on Friday night when I went to fetch my sister in Sunway. I was trapped in the heavily congested traffic for more than 1.5 hours before I can reach Sunway College from Kajang. I saw minor accidents on the road the way back to home. Guys and girls, drive safely when back to class. Speed can kill!

Raining cat and dog + High traffic load = Heavily Congested Traffic

I went to visit my grandma in Kuala Pilah because moon cake festival is around the corner. If I am not mistaken, it is on 3rd of October. There is a very famous moon cake bakery shop in Kuala Pilah 马口南发饼家. The red bean paste moon cake is very delicious! It can compete with 大同月饼. Thumbs up!

DiGi-Deep Green Challenge

Recently, DiGi organizes a go green competition and came to UNITEN. The price for the 1st place is RM70,000! Our renewable energy class is selected to take part (because it is the most relevant course regarding to the competition) to save our environment by trying to reduce the energy usage of the air conditioning system in the Radio Based Station (RBS). Reduce in energy usage will therefore reduce the CO2 emission to the environment (Sustainability). Two 2.5hp air conditioners are running 24/7 alternatively. The average energy bill for the air conditioning system is RM400/month. Our challenge is to design a technical model that minimizes the energy consumption and at the same time the Return on Investment (ROI) has to be more than 50% and payback less than 2 years.

A team of 8 consists of Jason Lee, Kok Wei, Chun Hong, Yik Hong, Kiang Wei, Zhi Xing, Wai Yan and me. Jason Lee is indeed a report designer. The first time he proposed the report format and the team role (I am surprise!!), I can let him do the rest without any worry.

Chun Hong is good in drawing the schematic diagrams of the ideas. (I want to show but the idea is confidential until 1st of September. Maybe next time?) Kok wei, without you, we won’t go till so far. Last but not least, thank you Kiang Wei and Zhi Xing for the information searching and Challenge 2.

The difficulty of this competition is the low energy bill of the air conditioning. It is very hard to save $$ from the RM400 because we have to take care of the payback (engineering devices are costly). Nothing much can be done! Initially, we proposed three options which are the close loop water cooling system, heat recovery adsorption chiller, and solar thermal adsorption chiller. We are lucky to be selected for our proposal. Millions thank you to our advisor Associate Professor Ir. Dr. Erie Sandhita for voicing out our ideas and support us in the meeting of proposal selection.

Being selected --> have more sleepless night. Our team has to stay up until 4am for three days to refine the proposal in order to compete with the other universities. Now, we are doing inverter technology and our proposal is 97% done! Thank you brothers for all the effort that you all put in. Good luck and all the best to our team! (RM70000 divided by 8 = RM8750 per person $.$) hehe.

Rest in peace my dear friend..

Gary Leon Robert (1987-2009)

Rest in peace my dear friend Gary. God will be with you. You are a top student and all rounded person. You will always be remembered....

The Lord Himself will goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.

~Deuteronomy 31:8

Genting Sanyen Power Family Day

Last week, I got my Final Year Project title which is “Effect of Alumina Addition on the Mechanical Properties of TiO2 Ceramic” under supervision of Prof. Madya Ir. Dr. Ramesh Singh. (Prof. Madya Ir. Dr.) --> A very intelligent and knowledgeable professor. It is a research based project that requires me to do a lot of literature reviews and experiments. Unlike design projects, I don’t have to spend money on building up prototypes which sometimes cost more than thousands. I still remember the conversation with him on the first day I met him.

Prof. Madya Ir. Dr. : Why you want to take my project?
JH : Because I can progress after I graduate.
Prof. Madya Ir. Dr. : What is your CGPA?
JH : My CGPA is _._ _ (CGPA is more important than my name)

He explained to me later that why he wanted to look to my CGPA first is because he wanted to see whether we can have what sought of talking……… (Censored out due to sensitive contents). In short, CGPA is very important. I had a happy conversation with him and will try my BEST to score!

Last Friday, I bought a new modified refillable cartridge for my Epson printer CX3900 at Lowyat Plaza. This modified refillable cartridge requires less maintenance and is problem free compare to the Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) that I previously installed. If you are having dilemma in selecting which modified system is the best or genuine cartridge, I would recommend modified refillable cartridge rather than CISS or genuine cartridge. Below are the proving: (Engineers are well trained in proving)

CISS -->
Cost: RM 200
Advantage: Do not have to top up the ink.
Disadvantage: If there are bubbles inside the system, high maintenance skills are required! Believe me, it’s not an easy task.

Modified refillable cartridge -->
Cost: RM 70
Advantages: Problem free from the bubbles and complicated transmission system.
Disadvantage: Have to refill the ink when the ink level runs low. (May be refill once a month, depends on the usage)

Genuine cartridge -->
Cost: RM (120 x N times)
Advantage: Compatible problem free.
Disadvantage: Costly and cartridge cannot be refilled. Unlike the CISS and Modified refillable cartridge that require one time initial cost.

4 x 100 ml refill inks that can print up to 2000 pages!

Last Saturday, it was our annually Genting Sanyen Power family day at Genting Awana Resort! This is the time to know all the junior scholars. (Time flies! I have become senior dy). Again, let the pictures tell the story on that day. May be this is my last Genting family day? (I am sorry, only certain people will know why. Hehe.)

GSP scholars + snow white + spiderman

The girl who is sitting on the top of the water tank is the snow white (show girl)! Our CEO said whoever can drop her down to the water (by throwing a tennis ball into the hole besides her), she will receive Rm 1000 as pocket money!!

Tank filled with cold water :S

Here comes the Prince Crusaderz Wee Ser Tan

With just one hit, the snow white dropped into the water and she received RM1000!

The prince and the snow white live happily ever after. Right Wee Ser?? hehe..
