Contented and with the "what're u looking at?" look

Not in good mood now.....i scratch!

A day's work at the waterfall

My collegues and I went to Kancing forest reserve to do some work. Mainly trying to channel water through a hose from the top of the waterfall to the bottom. Well, it was for the micro turbine that we bought.

Started off by lugging the hose (which was 40 m long and heavy). Kam Tat (i think) carried the hose. We set up the hose at the top and then threw the hose down.

At first not much water....some tinkering and walla.....4 m/s....double of what we have but still not enough. Then we adjust some more....but din work. Well, we sort of figured 2 things, one, we need a bigger water intake head at the top to channel more water in, two, it seems that if there is a 'storage' scenario at the bottom, higher water inflow will generate higher flowrate and it will help power the turbine.

So back to the drawing room to design a simple funnel like inlet for the hose. Haha....had some fun after that playing water.

Some pics of the place we went:

Flash Floods




Flood at Jalan Peel


Flood at Jalan Peel



Steven's Corner Pandan Indah

Well, we are on our way back from Sri Petaling. The sky opened and down came the rain (literally raining like cats and dogs. Enough to cause some small flashfloods throughout low lying areas in KL. Talk about drainage....*sigh*

At Jalan Peel, the water was probably half a foot, but people scared to cross....apparently never come across flood waters (unlike us who comes from kuching, remember the floods during chinese new year about 5 years back). Had to prod the car in front to go ahead (with the car horn of course =P). My my, proton perdana and pesona don't dare to cross...haha....I did in my 'puny' MYVI. No probs....

Then at steven's corner, same situation. It was worse but by the time i arrive at the junction the water was receeding already. Took pics of course for posting on blog....haha....

Migrain....

My migrain was killing me last night. This morning as groggy as ever. Had to take the day off. Got my supply of ponstan. Hopefully it helps. Felt much better now.

Tomorrow got meeting at work. Hopefully everything's ok. The time for me to make important choices are coming up. Hopefully I can make the corect career choice.

Is a great working environment but no career progress better than an average working environment but with very good career progress?

I am a bit confused.....-_-`

Malaysian elections...

It started as a small whisper and progressed to a full blown typhoon as election results rolled in. The change is on! People's power for the first time!After 50 years of domination, BN lost its 2/3 majority in parliment and more importantly lost 4 states (Selangor, Perak, Penang and Kedah) while failed to capture Kelantan. It was such a historical moment for malaysia......It will be something I will remember for the rest of my life......

Kudos to DAP, PKR and PAS!

Now its time to walk the talk......The people are watching.......
