One of the few joys of my life
Will sojourn Adelaide
With her inexhaustable reservoir of love,hopes and trust
That is never denied to me and my brother and sister
And her soft voice and strong words
That kept me going
All this time
Welcome to Adelaide

Small remedies, big warmth
Sometimes
I think God forgot about me
Did he?
Sometimes
The novels
The Youtubes
The Facebooking
Is not enough
To while away the boredome and loneliness
Possibly
God though a little about me
Through the small chats with good friends
The ym messages from people you think you do not know but cared about you
And most importantly, the words of love and warmth from Mama and family
And the thought that my loved ones are safe and praying for me
These are small medicine
But they make me whole again
So that I could continue to strive in this challenging world
I think God forgot about me
Did he?

Things in my head
I am so restless
I cannot sit still
My mind wanders around
Lost in the World
Am I happy?
I do not give much
And I do not get much
By I am content
I am not sad
But am I happy?
I sometimes envy of other people
But envying people
Does not change things
I would say to myself ' it is their good fortune'
So I accept myself
As to what I am
Because it is how I know myself
If I become someone else
I will be a stranger to myself
I cannot sit still
My mind wanders around
Lost in the World
Am I happy?
I do not give much
And I do not get much
By I am content
I am not sad
But am I happy?
I sometimes envy of other people
But envying people
Does not change things
I would say to myself ' it is their good fortune'
So I accept myself
As to what I am
Because it is how I know myself
If I become someone else
I will be a stranger to myself
Semester 1 2009
I am going to skip what I did during summer. I just did my practical that's all.
By 26 February, returned to Adelaide after 2 days in brisbane and then a connecting flight to Adelaide via Gold Coast.Don't wanna talk about it.
Anyway, the first semester for 2009 commenced and I, like many other enrolled and began out monotonous lives as students.
I am taking 3 subjects.They are(along with a brief summary of each):
-Aerospace Propulsion: Taught by Dr.Vincent who taught us Space Vehicle Design.Not as exciting as Space Vehicle Design as it involves alot of calculations.
-Computational Fluid Dynamics: About using software to simulate flow environments and aerodynamics. Pretty useful but too difficult!! If I get a CP for this subject I'll just take it. Th elcturer is a Greek called Mr.Farid Christo who likes to touch people too much.
-AIrcraft Design: Taught by the infamous Maziar. As the name of the subject implies, we just spend hours hearing Maziar drone about equations and statistical analysis involved in making aircrafts. Really, the man just dashed my childhood dreams of designing crazy flying stuff....it now seems so hard.Well, hello Oil and Gas.
Anyway,I've started my Honour project.It has nothing to do with Aerospace stuff unfortunately.The title of our project is 'Optimization of High Performance Pump'.Now, how boring can the name of a project be!!!! Briefly, our project aim is just to test three materials that may be used to replaces the stainless steel used in a pump at Santos Moomba gas processing plant. Santos is just using us a s cheap labour to solve a multi million dollar problem they are facing...corrosion in the pump.Enough talking, just see te pictures of our project...it's pretty cool and we're getting into the erosion corrosion test.
Oh yeah.My prject mates are Apam and Fahad(Bangladeshi Australia lad). They are very cool mates to work with.This picture here is of them setting up erosion corrosion test equipment. They are reallys serious.
Next is the slurry pot holder attached to mixer.Basically it's a big blender. The plan is to rotate the test materials inside a beaker filed with a corrosive substance called the Benfield solution which is sued at the Santos Moomba plant. We want to see which materials suffer the most damage.
We are currently doing the erosion corrosion test.Next would be the friction which our group would design from ground up.It will be a challenging task.If our project gather anough data and perform deep data analysis and solve Santos problems, hopefully we'll get an award.
Anyway, thats' it for the first semester.I'll be updating with smaller and brief entries from now on.The plan I did this blog was to use it as a diary and write teh stuff I did and see. But it's not working as I write by average every six months in this blog..haha.Look forward to the enxt short entry guys!!!

Perth Trip in 2008!!
Hello everybody!!! Anybody here!!! Guess not..who cares.As usual, I make very long posts in this blog every 6 months or for each semester. However, this post is different, because before this, I only make a post after the semester exams...so I will be rambling less about my exam results.My last entry was written out of due to post-boredom. Meanwhile, this post is prompted by post-preliminary report boredom.Enough yapping.
Firstly,what happened after December 2008. Simply, after the trip around SA twice and the trip to the Yorke Peninsular and Moonta. I promptly went to Perth for 3 full days before taking flight to KL.Hussen abandoned 5 days before I went to Perth..sniff sniff. So off to Perth with Apam and Fahmi and met grea guys like Key,Acap Perth and Paan who were terrific hosts and guide. On our first day Perth, we were on our own as our hsts were busy with other incoming Adelaideans who tarnsitted for only the day. So off we go, into the unknown Perth.

To sum up, Perth is a nice, like a smaller version of Sydney, with large bays and blue sea water. The highlight of the first day was Fremantle, a Gelenelg like resort town but even better.Because the place has market which sells great and cheap souvenirs and the sea water is just soo blue.
On the second, day rented a car and went to Lancelin to see some sand dunes!! Nik Faiz went ther when he was in perth a month earlier and the pics were cool. We rented a Getz and drove for about two hours to Lancelin and rented some sand boards. It was worth it. The sand dunes were beautiful and mystifying and we had a lots of laugh rollong and sliding down the dunes. We are accompanied by two great guides, Acap and Key who drove us around Perth after Lancelin,eventhough they were tired.
That was the higlights of our trip.After that,we had dinner with a UniAde alumni who's now a doctor in WA, Dr Rahman. He was really nice and sent us to the airport in his really cool Subaru. Before we went to the airport, we also had some time to 'jalan-jalan' around Perth.Perth is a good place to study IMO. But too bad its too far from other cities.
