Wind Turbine Recipe Book Received

Queen's Head Stamp United Kingdom

Printed Papers = Book

It's finally here. After two months of waiting, it is finally here. When I was a little bit crazy last year, I thought that Sabah would be a great place for wind energy development, despite the real fact that Sabah maybe not up to the expectation. So I bought this book from some company in the United Kingdom; paid through Paypal for MYR70+,waited helplessly because it was sent via air mail which means no tracking record, and I even thought it was a scam!

I always wanted to learn more about green energy from sources available around Sabah, such as the wind, solar and biomass. The best part is, Sabah Coal Power Plant project has already been canceled on February 2011, leaving us greener than ever. But, something has be done, because we still indeed in need of power electrical supply. 

What a shame? Our power electrical failure seems to happen 2-3 times daily. Sometimes, they were not completely down, but that unstable low power actually damaging our domestic electrical and electronic system around the house and office. I just hate it. Well, I actually say out loud, "Thanks people for bringing the Sabah Coal Power Plant project down." We need power. Need POWER.

Great drawing details inside.

I will seek some time to do this project. And money too. Because the construction of the parts are quite critical, especially the requirement to reduce vibration during the operation. Rotating machine worst enemy : Vibration. I can imagine how easily parts break apart due to vibration or earthquake? May God bless Japan and its people, and everyone who are directly or indirectly affected by the disaster.

Thanks by the way, for the people who encourages green energy. Love you all!

Special Purpose Flip Flop

     All these years I've been wearing this type of flip-flop. The one with extra tiny bumps. And they are the cheapest among all of their competitors. I always see this type of flip-flop worn in the bathroom or toilet, or at least at a wet floor places around houses or offices. 

But what surprises me the most is their actual function, which I found out from their price tag recently. Maybe they are not as effective but, they are actually a MASSAGE type flip flop. That's what all the tiny bumps all about. And that's weird. Because I thought they were made that way just to add more friction between the flip-flop and the user's feet. 

Well, I am sharing this because it surprises me. Check this method I found out about foot reflexology.

Tank Storage Erection: Summary Part 2 (Final).

This is the sequel to Tank Storage Erection: Summary Part 1. This post shows mostly the painting jobs. This is the final review, so I included a short video for the testing of Firewater Pipe Line. And I'm done with it. I did not join the commissioning, but I am lucky enough to join the team from the kickoff through the part final. Great experience.
Here it goes.

Tank Storage Erection: Summary Part 1.

The project took place in Pulau Indah for chemical plant expansion. The duration for the completion is around one year, starting with the piling and closed with a final inspection from BOMBA and the client. I only focused most on mechanical works above than other works.

So here it is.

Sorry I have to skip the civil works for tank foundation, since I don't have the pictures; it is all kept in the memory card which I sent to the main office. I told them to post it, but they didn't.

The civil works for tank foundation was mostly piling, and then followed with reinforcement bar, and finally the concreting. So, from here, let's move to the first picture.
