Bad day

Today is not a good day for me... i can't believe how bad my luck was...

I begin my day with my tweezer making a long scartch on my left arm's triceps, although it din make but it did startled me coz the area around the cut seems to be reddish (in an abnormal way) since i've been using my tweezer for the rework recently i afraid it might be due to the solder lead so i quickly went to wash the wound...

Later in the evening while writing the software to the TV set, i accidently touched the LCD panel's balancer board causing an electric shock to myself. Lee who was standing besides me heard the electrical "buzz" i made and seems kinda worried. 1 kV of voltage folwoing into ur body, i'm damn lucky to be still able to sit here blogging about it hahaa. So to those who have an LCD TV at home... watever u do, dun touch the board on the sides of the panel, it's operating at 1kV AC and its vry deadly.

Surviving that ordeal i got myself in another mess later. While i was carrying the 46" set from my station to the table i accidently cut myself (again???), this time its my thumb... and i din noticed it until i saw blood coming from the wound. I think it must be the stress on the surface of my thumb and then my thumb was right there resting on the shart edge of the bracket so... ... i got cut.

This is the 1st time tat i ever got so many unpleasent stuff happening to me at work... was it something i did?? How come i'm so unlucky today??? WHY~~~~~ Anyway i'm glad the day is over... and look at the time, its time for bed again... .... sigh, i still nid to work on sat, damn... spoiled my weekend again... ... ...

Deepaveli Vacation Part2

Well as promised, i'm here to further elobrate on my lil' trip. Now, where were i... ... ... okie~~ this is about the hike to the Muka Head Lighthouse.

The walk uphill was tiring... according to HY n 018, my face look awful and to be honest i was but i was determined to make it to the top that i forcefully, using every ounce of my strength to make the climb. I forgot when was the last time i was so determined to actually do something. And at the end of the climb... its all this... just magnificant

The view from the Lighthouse

We rest on the base of the lighthouse trying our best to regain consciousness after the climb. Then we walk up to the lighthouse... the steps up were kinda narrow and its kinda creepy too but it was fun, i've never been up in a lighthouse b4 at least not that i can remember for the time being.

On the deck of the lighthouse we, had a small picnic session, some food some drinks all while overlooking the green, green forest and the deep blue sea accompanied with the cooling wind from the sea. The combination is just perfect after all those climbing. We stayed there for about half hour i think, coz i dun actually wear a watch now... took quite a number of photos too.

Later we started our journey down the tower to make our way back to the beach. BUT not without some additional shots hehehe


Not to mention some solos heheh :p

The weary and beaten leech...

Then the caretaker actually took us for a shor tour of the light house. From the caretaker i got the know that this lighthouse is actually built in 1883 (OMG~~ 100yrs older that me !!!) with the cost of 37k pound, hell that's expensive.


and i took the liberty to actually make a note of this .... its some sort of a brief journey in history. It has a old hand powered water pump too, like those we see in the movies especially those wild west movie. While having this tour we were told not to go near a certain flower pot coz there is a viper there and went i looked, hey there's really one..



After the tour we journey downhill for a boat ride back to the our car. We were too tired to actually journey back there again hehe... anyway wif that i think i'll end my post for today, i nid to wake up damn early tmr coz i'm going to work on the morning shift which starts at 0615 but b4 i go... here's a wrap up photo

Deepavali Vacation: Penang

Since i din show up in penang last Raya holi, i was some sort compulsary to make it tis Deepavali holi. So on the 7th at around 5pm i was in Masjid Jamek waiting for HY to make my way to penang.

The bus got delayed and we arrive at penang island at around 1145pm and our ETA was suppose to be around 10pm... sigh... So we went for mamak b4 retiring for the night... but not without making some noise. Pillows were flying around in Fatt's room as we fool around wif HY haha... this is the gang i know hahaha. BUT soon we did sleep coz the next day we are going for a hard walk.

We met CK and his frens for breakfast somewhere in town... we had dim sum there, too bad i can't recall the location. The food is not vry expensive so it was kinda worth it. After breakfast we went to Batu Fringgi, to the Penang National Park;


and so the journey begins~~~
it started off easy wif some paved road and some steps later it was the greens

and here's the map...

or sort of a map :p

After the greens it was the beach... haha it was kinda fun, its been awhile since i last been to the beach. If i remember correctly, my last trip to the beach was wif Soo, 2 yrs back when i was still in penang for my internship... how time flies...




well the jungle tracking was kinda fun... its kinda nostalgic for me coz the last time i did tis i was i diploma haha... 5 yrs ago i think hahaha


and at the beach... ... ... there were some fighthing...

all that coz of a bottle of Excel?? hahaha

some flying...


and to those who can't fly..


we cross, the stream might look small but its damn deep... the water was up to my knee.


Did i mention this beach is actually called the Monkey beach... and just in case u are wondering why... ....

hehe ...
This is why :p

Later we basically continued down the beach till its time for the 3rd n final league... the climb to the lighthouse. The climb was intense... after the 1st part i was begining to feel weary.... the track was slippery and steep so the journey is not that easy. Later to make matters worse it, there weren't any more steps, it was off road and the journey took to another level. The climb went from bad to worse, requiring me to summon all my strength and my focus to keep me moving and in the end... i reached the top ... but not without the sacrifices... no photos during the climb coz i dun wanna lose my momentum...

God.. look at the time.. i'll share the lighthouse photos the next time... right now its time for me to catch some Zs haha... nite~~

Tired tired week

Well i've been working for 6 weeks last week, and it almost went to 7 days but luckily it got canceled else i'll be working thru the weekend... But 1 damn funny thing happen at work last sat.. but b4 i start, how many of u out there believe in feng shui?? To some its superstitious and to some its something vry real. Undoubting there r many different comments on this but as far as i know, feng shui is not as superstitious as u think it is, its actually science. Allow me to illustrate .... wait a minute... i can't... hahahaha but believe me, there is some science behind tis feng shui thingy.. anyway back to my story...

While we were doing our inspection of the sets (its a part of our trail prototyping process, where we check for basic functionality) we notice that the TV din response to the remote control... we checked the sensor board, we checked the wiring and we check the remote....nothing.. all of them are functioning just nice. Then HW went to do some experiment, we found that the sensor board is not functioning at when placed in certain position and we begin to think... "Weird... this couldn't be.." we try n shift and then we come to a conclusion...
Bad Feng Shui

WUAKAKAKAAKAA.... well not actually fengshui but it is due to the position of the sensor board. We found that there are some interference coming from the panel that seems to distrub the remote control signal which cause it to stop functioning. We went to demo this to one of the designer and he was too amaze not to mention amused hahaha by our discovery :p and now we r still waiting form feedback from our fellow japanese members.. Guess what.. tat actually become the biggest laugh i had the whole week hahahaa...

But rest assured that we will solve this problem so that it will not appear in our next line up hahaha.. and dun start pointing fingers saying its a no good product, like i say, its still in prototyping stage so there r bound to be problems, that's wat being in R&D is all about hahahaah :p

Then the next day ... ... ... i guess i leave this story till next time, i'm actually vry tired... i din get a good sleep ytd woke up around 3+ and had difficulties falling asleep again so i'm really beat... so till next time.. ciao~~
