merdeka ?


hi..

tomorrow is our country's 52nd birthday. to all Malaysians...

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!!


my roommate kept on talking about it since this morning. playing all the patriotic songs and sang along.. :)

however, one thing that he told me which is really true is that UTP doesnt seem to have organized anything related to national day at all.. not even a simple countdown for it.. if you dont believe it, you can refer to his blog. (eric's blog). During our secondary school time, everybody in our school definitely will be crazy for it and doing all sorts of the preparation for merdeka celebrations. kinda missing that period now.

well, the main thing is that... is UTPians not patriotic at all?

yesterday was my conventional milling lab. where i got to play and learn about the big milling and drilling machines. as it is my first time operating it, it is quite an fun experience also.

early in the morning that day, i woke up and went to the lab without even having my breakfast. the lab started with some simple briefings on how to handle and operate the milling machine from the lab technicians before we started our project.

at that time, kuhan and i were in the same group. the first task was to produce a metal block with the desired dimension. so, we clamped our workpiece which is a metal block onto the working table and switched on the cutting tool. the thing produced kinda loud sounds as it is switched on. without thinking much, we began our cutting job.



face milling...

most of the operations of the machine have to be operated manually. the clamping, hammering, turning, adjustment and lots more.. it quite fun but tiring also. (plus i haven have my breakfast at that time)

after surfacing, it is the time that we cut our blocks into the shape that we want..


end milling...
the process to cut out the small details of the product.

finally, this is the product that i produced...

shining... ^^
i named it THE cube... haha

THE cube with other members...

the next day, i ended up with my whole body aching... :P
