its already the mid of november, there is not many things left to be done for my fyp.. if everything goes well and hopefully i can finish the practical jobs in this 2 weeks time, or else my plan of doing nothing in the month of dec will be ruined.. but those work that are undone are those "chalenging" ones.. actually all the problems that i'm facing are mainly due to the extremely tight budget.. many problems can be solved with money.. this is so true for my situation now..as i have said before.. my budget was only Rm 1500.. but after doing some rough calculation..by oni manufacturing the base of the machine edi cost me more than Rm 2000.. that haven't include the mechanical and electronic parts which will cost me another Rm 1000+ i think.. some of my fellow Utarian might ask y dun i ask the technician to manufacture it in the workshop..that is free of charge.. haiz..as if i'm so stupid and ignorant..i edi went to the workshop and shown the draft to the technician..out of 28 pieces of the things i need to manufacture, he says that oni 7 pieces of it can be manufactured in the workshop coz the machine in the workshop can't make those advanced curve and so on.. which simply means i need to send those remaining to the manufacturer from outside Utar which also means alot to be spent on that..
haiz..enough of complaining.. talk about the surveying/quaotation trip with the technician to jln ipoh and jln kuching on last wednesday..before this, i never went to these places.. these places are relatively important to engineering students..many things can be found here( for final year project etc..) at 1st went to a shop called "advanced bolts & fasteners sdn bhd" that is located at jln ipoh.. since i need to get the quotation for many types of fasteners that are very rare in M'sia..the technician brought me here coz he says that i can find everything related to bolts and fasteners here..if i can't find it here, i won't get it elsewhere in M'sia..thats good..can save my time travelling to other places..i printed a list for them so that they can send me a quatation for it.. but, i'm quite upset tat even they themself dun supply some of the items i needed..but get the majority of them though..its relatively cheap also..
then we went to jln kuching to search for a shop selling many mechanical parts especially bearings.. and through this shop also we found another factory nearby that manufacture gears.. but since i'm a 1st timer..i din provide a drawing for them and get scolding from the boss who is an uncle.. the factory is located in a very dirty area..there are alot of factories there..the place looks like a warzone..really..so hot, dirty, alot of huge holes on the muddy road..just that dun have any tanks parking there..
and, i would like to say that the technician that brought me there is very kind and helpful too.. he keep on telling those people to quote me cheaper coz i'm a student etc.. he is an old uncle actually..he used to work in Texas Instruments til he retire.. after retire, he works in Utar workshop.. most of the time, we are walking a distance to reach another shop or factory, and the weather is quite bad.. very hot..i walk slightly faster than himself and keep on looking behind me coz i'm afraid he might fall or trip while walking.. and i think he realize that, he suddenly told me not to feel guilty coz this is a very good exercise for him.. he is sweating like hell..he says that he has got diabetes and can't remember edi.. although its a good exercise for him.. i know he doesn't have the stamina.. he smoked twice, one while on the way to and another 1 on the way fro..
ps: i myself can sense that this post is damn boring.. while typing also i feel like sleeping edi.. but just post oni la.. at least got something to post.. if not, i will feel as if i have abandoned this blog..hehe..
