Industrial Training at MCT

April 27th, 2008 | Posted by taileong | 4 LoLz

warning: this post might bore you, so unless you are really interested in what i’ve been doin for my industrial trainin, do not continue readin.

week 1

how do i begin? i got myself busy with lots of things to learn, but i’ll just proceed to the most time consumin activity that week; orion building design system software (accordin to my supervisor, this software cost rm40k). before you continue, please note that my supervisor is a very nice and patience person who does not put pressure or look down on me and will still find time to teach me although he’s busy.

this software is supposed to be an easy to use and fast designin software, but to me it’s a hell no! it took me 2 days to familiarize myself with its not-so-user-friendly features. (my supervisor has not use this software before, therefore i’m on my own to explore and learn it from scratch!) the headache i went through tryin to figure what parameters to input based on british standard institute codes of practice, and sometimes where to input certain must-have parameters.

after messin around orion for 4 days, i finally completed the 1½ storey shop office design for a project in usj25.


1½ storey shop office ground floor structural design


1½ storey shop office 3d model auto generated by orion

bad luck sure knows when to kick in at the precise moment. my design somewhat failed when runnin the beam analysis. [ w t f ] the software version i use seemed to be a lil buggy as well, as from the model above, the triangular empty section is supposed to be filled up with a blue triangle (indication of a slab).

week 2

it’s disappointin to find out that somethin you’ve put so much effort into didn’t turned out the way you want, but that’s life ain’t it? already accepted that fact, i moved on to manual design guided by my supervisor. this is very, very time consumin, as it is the method practised by civil and structural engineers a long time ago durin those days without computers.

manual design method is very tedious, as i have to design every single non-repeatin slabs, beams, columns, pile caps, decide what rebar size to use etc. any single error in load calculations will result in carry forward errors, as most of them are inter-related. luckily there is a structural analysis and design software (prokon) to help analyse a little on the loadings i input, but most of the calculations, assumptions and decisions were still made by me (with guidance from my supervisor of course). just so you know, this software was used to successfully model the petronas twin towers for exhibition purposes.

my progress with the manual design was very, very slow. the first day, i only completed designin a simple flat upper roof. the next was spent mostly on the water tank floor, located between the upper roof and the roof. i managed to touch a little on the roof garden design, and continued from there the followin day. that followin day was disaster! when i came to one particular beam in the middle of that structure, by all means it fails the manual analysis (due to very high deflection and shearing). no choice, said my supervisor, but i have to re-design the whole structure again with an additional column. damn…

oh sweet jesus.. they’re getting younger and younger!

April 26th, 2008 | Posted by rogue | LoLz forbidded


(that’s su ann’s hand)

i was SO DAMN excited!
only reason being that kenny was one of em…
so was brian and dom and a few others
but i went there supporting kenny and brian
oh and cos rashid was the MC again for the 4th time hahaha


u should have heard the screaming!
my throat’s still sore from all that screaming!

this time round i couldnt take that many pictures of the games and the dances that they had
was sitting a little too far behind
but it was a pretty good spot if u ask me
ten time better then being all the way in front and only being able to look up at them whilst being pushed around by all the other ppl

kenny didnt end  up winning any of ’em titles
but if u’ve noticed, it was all bias already
still, kenny did well
and we’re all damn proud of him!
and he’s such a cutie i tell u!
also another one like nawal…
just wanna schwqeeeeeeeeeeeeze!
ahahahahahahaha
plus he had to dance in some game
so entertaining
nak cubit pipi!
eeeeeeeeeeee…. geram~!

well, this year, the title went to none other then BRIAN LAU!
i’d have to admit that he’s not one of my close friends
but i’ve got a certain soft spot for him and his family cos of ben (sigh~)
ben’s his brother. younger brother.
and since we spent so many days together during chinese new year, well, u know lah~

when they announced that he’s this year’s winner, i stopped, stared, then started screaming!
hahahaha..
i didnt really expect him to win
i mean, out of 50 of ‘em (49 to be exact.. adrian didnt show up.. i wonder why? hmmmmmmm…)
there were so many men there
but he beat the likes of alex and ebi and stuff
damn proud wei
dont know why but there’s a glowing pride hahaha
maybe its cos of ben
who knows
whatever it is, HE WON!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOOPIEEEEEE………!!! :)

here are some of the pictures that i managed to take
most of the pictures are with friends


su ann or better known as pinkpau
she’s one very intelligent girl
she can really write
and for someone her age, she’s got the brains of a very mature person!
met her last year during rainforest
always bubbly, always has an opinion about something
she’s one to look out for
she’ll probably be one to lead and to bring change however big or small the change may be.
probably already changed a lot of lives without knowing it


the cute ringo
she’s one of the malaysian dream girls
met her before a looooooong time ago with kenny at laundry bar
very sweet girl.. the icing atop cupcakes kind :)
i think her current look is really nice. mature yet cute.
but yet she looks heaps younger then she use to look.


christine ng
she’s got a blog as well but since she blogs anonymously, i shan’t include her link here
she’s a very easy going person
i find it very easy to hold a conversation with her!
kenny passed her our tix
and at first i was wondering which christine this is
but when i saw her, i realised that i’ve already met her before thru nicole!
very fun person :)
definitely someone to befriend!


juliana!
i tell u, this girl also another one hahaha
she cracks me up!
plus she is another amazing dancer as well!
but i guess we’ll have to make her a little high first
mwahahahahahaha
she’s bubbly, and she loves to have fun
and she doesnt care what ppl think about her
my kinda person!
and i’ve promised her we’d go dancing soon
and i’m going to keep that!
i need to dance more!
great way to stay in shape
plus it makes me happy
especially if its a good night out with a bunch of close friends
even better!
so, juliana! u’re going to be my next victim!!! :)


our attempts at camwhoring


right before they announced this year’s winner.
christian was there as well
he was to ‘pass on’ the torch or something haha
he’s actually looking better compared to 2 years ago when i first met him
but i guess time changes people
he use to be such a rugged sheepish looking boy
he’s still cute no doubt
(and i wonder how ’someone-i-am-yet-to-name’ can say he’s not a celeb.. i think the other small penis guy is just JEALOUS!)


brian the bachelor
he looked so happy!
well deserved thou
managed to catch him before he was whisked away to meet the press

budak melanau
hosting pun pakai baju biasa…
tsk tsk tsk
but thats rashid for u la
hahaha
no changing this man
and he loves his guiness
so if anyone wants to buy him anything, make sure its a guiness!
(is it just me or does he look more chinese then me?)


christian capes.
he was last year’s bachelor
damn he’s tall
i’m in my 4 inch heels and he’s still waaaay taller then i am *grumble grumble*
he use to be able to lean his head on mine!
well, that night he was still the centre of attention.
girls were going up to him asking for pictures
him and brian la..
tsk tsk tsk… these famous ppl… tsk tsk tsk


KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
dont u just feel like pinching his cheeks?
he’s SO DAMN ADORABLE!!!
SO CUTE!!!
(i realized i’ve been using the word ‘cute’ too damn often… its so NOT me! but what to do, the ppl i’m hanging out with are all so cute!)
geram geram geram!
he looks like he has make up on
can we turn him into a teddy bear a?
sure super damn cute eh!
aiyoooooo……….


that’s cynthia of thatgirlcynthia
she’s probably the luckiest girl in malaysia right now
i mean, what could be better then dating THE most eligible bachelor?
she’s really pretty, this one
i think she’s got a very pretty and sweet smile!
she’s like this petite lil chili padi!
sizzling hawt~
oh and she dances as well
as in, with a group!
i dont think i’ll ever wanna dance around these ppl
make me look like a giant troll with 3 left feet doing the chicken dance!


my two fav boys of the night~
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee geram!

edit: eeeps! shit shit… i totally forgot bout johann! dang~

April 26th, 2008 | Posted by rogue | LoLz forbidded

before heading to zouk, i dropped by palate palatte
they were screening this movie called ‘I Know I’m Not Alone’
its by this musician called Michael Franti.
He went to the war torn countries with a crew of about 5 people to document how music can cross borders to change lives.
here is the LINK.
if u are interested in getting the DVD, u’ve got to contact him personally.
i personally love what he did.
some may just brush him off by saying that a lot of people can achieve what he has achieved,
i’d like to see u try!


met effa there!
she’s one who knows how to have fun yet work hard
respect.

after that i went to zouk alone but met up with nawal and veron there..

and it was super duper fun!
had about 2 and a half hours of solid dancing in!

i was dancing on the center podium when he came up to me and tapped my shoulder asking me for a dance
after a while i felt a little uncomfortable with his dancing style so i left to join weird again
