How's Life?

A week after i back to Singapore, feels like nothing changed.

The first day i cleaned my room for like 6 hours. I can still remember i was super tired but feel damn comfy sleeping in my bed.

The first day at work was okay. Had some meetings, had a lunch with big boss, which by the way was my first time.

Just wanna say... be cheerful and everything will turn out just fine!


The Tokyo Sky Tree

I'm going there very soon. ^.^

The US Trip Vol. 4

During the 3 days i was there, we went 2 museums. So i think you'll know what to expect. Lolz...

Following photos were from WWI Museum at Liberty Memorial.





From Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art followed.



























Museums are actually quite nice if you take your time to understand the exhibits. Some will kept you thinking even after you have left the building.

I was quite surprise i was allowed to take photos in both of the Museum i have visited. Come to think of it, i realised it was a very long time ago since i last visited a museum. It was Muzium Negara i guess? Haha...

The US Trip Vol. 3

Actually this was a business trip. I think i should at least show you some work related photos. To prove that i'm not there just for the fun. :D


Pentair Water Kansas City



Our limo arriving at Pentair Water.

We were there for Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) of 2 nos of 4 stages vertical turbine seawater pump. These pumps eventually will form part of the fire fighting system of the jetty that my company are constructing now.

























On the left is the pump while on the right is the test pit that the pump has been fixed on.

The tests were done and the results were acceptable. Hence, the pumps were ready for assembling and shipment to Malaysia by air freight.


In the middle was John, the Hydraulic Analyst. He got 30 over years of experience. Survived through 4 different ownerships in the same company.



Myself, Azizat, Chris, and Richard. Chris was the guy who coordinate our FAT. He is a Professional Engineer and also the International Application Engineering Manager of Pentair Water, brilliant guy.

Coming up next Vol. 4. ^.^

Kansas City also has a nickname called the City of Fountains. I don't even bother to take any more photos on fountains after a few shots.

The weather of Kansas City during my stay there was nice. There is no snow whatsoever though the locals said they have had one of the highest snow depth last year. I thought i could have observe snow for the first time in my life.

Stay tuned for Vol. 3. ^.^

I will keep this post short. I am still sorting out the photos. ^.^

The flights arranged by company actually require me to board a few connecting flights. 

Departure to Kansas City from Singapore, via Tokyo and then San Francisco.
Departure to Singapore from Kansas City, via San Francisco and then Hong Kong.

I arrived at Changi Airport two minutes before the check-in counter closed and was lectured by the counter lady. Lolz... Luckily i still made it!

Hence, i need four different clocks to advise me on the time of my connecting flights. I certainly don't want to miss any of them. Lessons learned.
