8th International Symposium on Digital Earth 2013 - Summer School Programme

Conference in Madrid

On the March 29th 2012, I have an opportunity to present my work on Indoor Mapping using Smartphone Device which had been organised by World Academic of Science and Technology. The chairman was Dr. Kumar Shankar from India. Here, I met few Malaysian who also participate in the conference meeting from UKM, UPM, USM and UTeM. There was one audience from Germany who interested in my presentation topic and we share ideas and views to improve and enhance the topic area.

Site Visits

On July 6, 2010, I have an oppurtunity to experience a site visits with delegates from Iraq's University. The site visits was conducted by Razak School, UTM International Campus. The objective of this visit is to promote our contruction technologies practise. From the observation, one can tell that there are alots of new things had/have been implemented in our contruction projects. The delegates collects lots of "souvenirs" for their references.

What can you see, what can you see,

you can hear a noise, you can hear noise

what can it be?what can it be

squak, squak, squak

it a parot chasing at me....

Abrasion Test

Last Friday, May 2 2008, I have experienced new method of testing floor deformation which was cause by forklift maneuvers. In mechanical engineering, this test is called Abrasion Test. Abrasion test is the measurement of abrasion resistance, usually by the weighing of a material sample before and after subjecting it to a known abrasive stress throughout a known time period, or by reflectance or surface finish comparisons, or by dimensional comparisons.

The abrasion test was carried out in a new factory building which was built in industrial estate in Tamworth, Birmingham. This factory was built in 10 acre plot area for storing imported goods from Asia countries like China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and India. As a depot for storing goods therefore the usage of forklift is very crucial.

In this test, the maneuvers of the forklift has been simulated by the rotated mass (40kg) machine designed by Dr. Maasood, member of Aston University. This machine has been ran over four different location, selected by McLaren Contractor (Mr. Henry). At the end of this test, the strength of the floor can be predicted.d

Food

Food!!! is tremendous word that rumbling your tummy like storm.There are lots of my favorites and first & foremost is ASAM PEDAS melaka... yum-yum. I remember, when my friends Ah Chang, Ah Bui, Ah Seng, Ah Tan, Ah Chen and I went to Pantai Klebang and we have lunch at one of the stall, everybody wanted to sip the big bowl of the 'Kuah'. Hahahhahah....looks whose head is in the bowl?

Seafood is another great food, especially when we talk about lobster. It has sweet and bitter taste, the salt is neutrally came from the fish. Fresh seafoods are best in any cuisine, malaysian, thai's, bbq or italiano. But they're high in cholesterol too. Prawns are my kid's favorite but fish are lovely in sweetsour, steam or bbq. Talking about seafood, the best place is in Penang, then Johor followed by Melaka. Western food such as chicken/lamb chop, steak, and stew just taste fantastic. Chili's ,Friday's and Grill's house are among the best. Each of them has different unique flavor even though it is the same kind of stuff.
