also, im wondering whether anyone is even visiting or reading this blog.. say something in the chat box. the blog is DEAD!



do u really know me?

Update on 3M Work~

hey guys, this blog seems so dead. havent updated it for 2 months? alright anyways, life has been so so. nothing major happenings other than the 3rd year workload.

theres the literature research project which is now done but was a tough thing to start off with. my topic was "Problems and Solutions of Carbon Nanotubes". Completed the report in within 4 weeks of reading references and typing up a summary of the findings.

Next, there is the DMT (design manufacture test) project which consists of 5 members working together to design, manufacture and test an engineering system or components. I was involved in Imperial Racing which is incharge of designing and building a car from scratch.
My group is incharge of the suspension, with our topic as "3M Suspension".
We're incharge of designing and building the wishbones, apexes, clevis joints.
We will be outsourcing the brackets with the chassis group.
Spherical bearings will be bought n used in our design.
The innovative carbon fibre tubes will be used in our suspension design instead of steel tubes.

The group consists of:

Ming - Team Principal

Me - Manufacturing Manager

Poh Shen - Technical Director

Lilian - Design Executive

Joel - Procurement Coordinator

We even have titles for each person in the group.

Before the xmas break, i had to manufacture the test piece for the carbon fibre tubes to join through adhesive.

Me manufacturing in the student teaching workshop (cutting the steel tubes to size)

Finished product (this took around 2 to 3 hours)

More to come~

If only you knew~

Back in UK!

hey guys, its been a while since i last blogged. Yet again, blame it on my laziness n the happening london im in! :D i suffered at least a good week without internet, feeling so detached to my brunei life n lively stories. call me an internet addict for all i care! haha. a few pictures to reflect on. not gna upload the whole lot as it will take me ages!

Landed in uk at around 6ish am before taking the cab to my new place. Unloaded the luggages from the storage room (this is one good weightlifting session) and brought it over to the new place with the help of nigel n shee before heading to manchester by virgin train to help shee settle in.
