Our grandfather and granny ashes were kept here.
As an obedient grand son, he went with his mum to pray his respect to his grandfather and granny in Pulau Tikus and then to the Burma Buddhist temple.
Later that night we have our steamboat dinner in Town, Nagore road.

After dinner , we went to MPH in Gurney Plaza to purchase his story book, for reading when in the plane. When over there we met our cousin, Ah Teong. XY ask him about his mum too. He can still remember her .
Ip pic: With their cousin brother, full concentration by both of them
Ip pic: My wife and me with my cousin He is highly appreciated by my father and mother for his help.
What I can recall from my father was Ah Teong would always help them in the Sundry shop when I was away studying in KL.

Count Down for XY
XY wearing his mask in the shopping complex
XY 's final degree.
"All my bags are packed, I ready to go." Took some photo shot for XY enjoying his food and also his new hair style before flying
Each night without fail, I would pop into his room and ask this favorite question of mine,
"Son, are there any more things, questions that you need to know or ask?"
None unless you have , he would reply.
Will he miss us?
In fact, I am the one that could not sleep for I will be missing him when he goes abroad. Me getting excited of you might said, High anxiety.
All this while, we have been very closed and seldom miss a call from him or me, when he studies in KL. At time, he would give us a call even before his class starts.
On one of my friends house warming, my friend wife asked him whether he call us from KL and he replied "Yes" most of the time and what topic you would talk to your dad and mum, He answered all topic or "gossip lah" hee ! hee! , he would laugh cheekingly.
Extra few shots taken with my Iphone

Piano Lesson
One one weekend, Siew Woon drop by my house with her computer for updating the Anti virus software and also to skype with her cousin who is stay in Kelantan. Sitting about a 2 meter from her , I could hear the sound of the organ played by her cousin through skype . Well, she was listening tentatively at the notes she played and started to teach her .
Since my house hasn't got a piano, I decided to download an application that allowed her to play the Iphone like a piano. Beginning she could not play fast due to transfering to the next frame but eventually she started to play with it and her cousin was very surprised as to where she gets a piano so fast. Wow, great piano indeed
At the end , her cousin managed to understand where she did wrong by listening over at the other side . Her cousin asked her about the phone and she has to hold up the Iphone to proof that she was playing with it . All of us started to laugh and acknowledge the power of this small little gadget.
Calling Maxis, our local provider
With the launching of Iphone 3GS, I started to call our local provider asking them as to when they will be allowing us to trade in my 3G forthe new 3GS. On one Sunday, I called them again and suggested to them that they should give a discount to customer who wanted to trade in or buying another one . About a month after that conversation, Maxis finally come up with that Exclusive package for her customer.
Well, is this marketing strategic recommended by me? If yes, then I would say that Maxis should give me one free 3GS!!!!. Hee! Hee! As one of my friend told me, I should have written in and that could be the proof.
Sometime, while on the street , I was asked by curious on looker on whether the Iphone is that good. I told them depending on the type of usage or function that they experted from the phone. Some feels that when you holding an Iphone, you will feel Um thing.
On why I bought an Iphone?
It started on that day I went to the airport to fetch my brother and his family. When all of them were in the car, my brother took out his Iphone and start to read his messages. I began to asked him and he told me that it will change my life. To my surprised his son,Bill also took out his phone too. On the journey to the hotel, we started to chat on the usage of phone that I which to have, Just for information both his children studied IT from Harvard and their humble knowledge on phone gave me an in dept of the phone.Phone like blackberry were also discussed. By the time, we reached the hotel, I have already make up my mind to purchase one.
One fine day, my old phone started to give problem and there come along my son telling me that I should be getting a new one as a reward for myself. I finally signed up an Iphone plan.
Having a new phone is one thing but then to get it going and ensuring that I can enjoy the full system, I started exploring hoe to transfer and edit my own ring tone etc.
Bill Kang recommended several applications and the gadget started to get very interesting. For me I can never get be tired of it, Well,easy to get the latest news , Twitter news from Bill and my brother, chatting with my friends and niece in Singapore with Nimbuzz and even my son with SKype. and the best was to chat on company matters with my office staff without having to dail them. Finally, I have to purchase a car charger whenever I am on the move. A extra power charger to be placed in my office.
The most important is XY will be able to chat with me from UK when I am on the move. Recommended that he should get one in UK!!!! What is the price over there?
Save for my education first he would reply or unless his phone is spoilt.
Anyway he is not interested in Touch Screen type. Whenever in the car he will fiddle with it and "haya! haya!" would be trhe sound from his mouth.
One thing for sure , I have very minimum game in it.

The Iphone
My Iphone: Pic Taken by IT chief, Chin Chin
Sorry for keeping everybody in suspense. Wow, total stop for 4 months . you might say busy but then the final word, LAZY. Everyday, when arriving home , I would sit in the front of my computer screen and start searching info on Iphone. Finally got it under Macworld.. Well, Apple has got their own website but than they are very slow in updating it. Below are some photos taken with Iphone
An instant snap of our engineer checking the Windsor Probe test
XY 's friends in Penang
XY in Mcdonald, Hatyai
Using the Application, Postman,and forwarding it to his friend
I have finally bought an Iphone and have to say that I am still learning all the functions from magazine like Mac life, Macworld and even Iphone Life. Well, all these back dated, imported magazines are a few months old for they are very costly if purchase new.
I would said that Iphone really change my life style. Before going further, what make me buy this portable computer or can I call smart phone.
First Look at the bad side
1 You cannot bluetooth to an other type of hand phone other than Iphone,
2 Forwarding phone number to a friends take longer step.
3 Battery will finish by approximately 5 hours if using 3G and longer for 2G.
4 The screen need to be clean regularly if not a dirty gadget!!
5 Speed is average but 3GS is better
6. Must always remember to shut it down once in a while and reboot it to avoid
applications that run without your knowledge. Could this lead to over heating and
draining of the battery?
The good side
1. Can surf the internet any time anywhere even without WiFi by using 3G
2. Many free and paid engineering applications
3. Pictures are sharp,big and up to my requirement
can upload to my blog without having to reduce the size
4. Big screen that help me for my eye sight is deteriorating
5. Lovely music and can transferred converted MP4 shows
6. Google map
7. Recording all my seminars
8. Games to play.chinese chess
9. Free books
10. Social networking, need not sms but direct chat using Nimbuzz
11. Daily local and world news
12. Pocket dairy
13. Learning new things every now and then
14. Blogging and Twittering
15. The fantastic "push notification" that will appear on the main screen.

Soil Investigation
Old but still learning to understand what is Soil Investigation. Do not be surprise for there are many engineers out there who might know the theory of soil and have not personally supervised the field work.
Day 1 : 21st April 2009
2 days Seminar held by IEM (Institute of Engineer (Malaysia) , Northern region.on 21st and 22nd April 2009
Lecture no 1 : Specifying Site Investigation by Ir. Liew Shaw Shong
Lecture no 2 : SI Planing for Hillsite Development by Ir. Tan Yean Chin
Brief notes ................ later
Lecture no 3 : Site Investigation - dynamic Probing Tests by Ir. Neoh Cheng Aik
Lecture no 4 : Piezocone and Field Vane Shear Testing by Ir. Yee Thien Seng
Lecture no 5: Pressuremeter testing - by Ir. Kenny Yee
Day 2 : 22nd April 2009
Lecture no 6 : Measures To Improve Site Investigation - by Mr. Ng Chan Ngoon
Lecture no 7 : Undisturbed Sampling - by Mr Chong Pek Kem
Lecture no 8 :Seismic refraction Specifications, Applications and Limitations - by Mr Ng ChakNgoon
Lecture no 9 : The Use of Geophysical Methods in Site Investigations - by Dr. Loke Meng Heng
Lecture no 10 : Laboratory Testing - Understanding Uncertainty of Measurement and Test Requirement : by Mr Wong Kim Yuen
Day 3 : 23rd April 2009
Field work : Visualising the real equipment.
Lectures started at 8.30 am and ended at 5.00pm for the first 2 days . Really tough for me who works in the site and cannot even sit still for an hour. Will a lot of yawning and regular break time for coffee with foods really helped on these 3 days. Other than these, regular discussions on topics that I do not understand with my colleagues really helped.
What type of speakers are good. Well, my opinion, lecturers that based their notes with field experience were the best. Laughter were heard and these really make everyone not falling asleep. But when it come with research lectures, it everyone got into "hibernation mode".
Regardless, their notes will be very useful when problem at site pop up.

The Passing Away of a dinosaur
I am a Dinosaur and I am not afraid of the tiger.
Tribute to one of our King of Hokkien Singer: Mr Wong Ming Fatt
He would finish his work sharp at 5.30pm and then stopped by the road entrance and without fail handed over the banana, peanuts to the monkeys.
I would be late after lunch and for I have feed my mother.
I am not scare of the Devil and there is no such thing as God.
Alot more verses that he would repeat again and again and then final on 6/4/09. he passed away while carry out his duty as a backhoe operator.
Most of the staff would called him the King of Hokkien Song. Yesterday, while visiting his wake, my staff would recalled him singing in the Show unit without having thought who are beside him.
During company trip, he would always volunteer to sing his below Hokkien Song.
I came across this guy one day when all the staff called me over the walkie talkie that AH FATT have captured a cobra using his bear hand.
During the wake, his son leak some of the untold story of his career. He has been a Sailor, in the field force unit , tower crane operator until he was grounded after a stroke. a backhoe operator,
A Karoake singer and has many girl friends.
The most important career was a being fillial son, never miss rushing back to his house to feed his mum.
He could be called the king of wild animals. His son told me that he would capture lizard, biawak, and skin it in front them and not to miss snakes and final cooked for the whole family to eat. His famous words to his son. Any Creature That Has Their Back Facing The Sky Could Be Eaten. Last but not least,the character of a man working in the construction industry: Many girlfriends , drinking, gambling and anything that you might think off.
On that day he passed away, all staff and workers stopped their work and lined in single file and bowed their heads as his body left the site in the police truck. You could just imagine , as grand as the Mafia!!!!
On 10/4/09, Most of his colleague carried his coffin for an estimated distance of 2 kilometers.
A grand sent off.
On his character, you cannot win him in his speech for he could grill you with all kinds of international language to answer your question and could be the best lawyer in town.
A song: "I am a dinosaur vow vow ,I am dinosaur ...or his favorite Hokkien phrase , I pheh a yak"
On that very last day, he has a Very Grand send off by his friends and colleagues
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.
All his colleague in full attention during their final respect to him
Final toast of wine by his colleagues
Carrying his coffin for part of the journey
Along one of the road in Penang Island, Malaysia.
