How would you describe the state of the air in the atmosphere? What kind of process does this air undergo from a cool morning to a warm afternoon?

1-67
A manometer containing oil (p=850 kg/m3) is attached to a tank filled with air. If the oil-level difference between the two columns is 60 cm and the atmospheric pressure is 98 kPa, determine the absolute pressure of the air in the tank.

Happy answering!

Industrial training

To my dear Semester 8 students,
How's your INTRA? Enjoy? Or suffering from heavy work load? What do you feel? Your knowledge gained in UniKL-MFI sufficient for you to handle your daily work? Perhaps some of you are 'lepaking' doing nothing there, but I am sure some of you are being treated as their permanent staff and the management put high expectation on you guys. If you feel like you can't apply your knowledge in your daily work, don't worry! Learn from experience, ask your supervisor. The most important thing is your right attitude. After visiting 3 companies last week, the feedback from them was: they are looking for good attitude staff, and not the best result but bad attitude staff. So, you should know what to do now.
Another 3 weeks for you to complete your INTRA. Appreciate it! Then, compare it with your University life. Which one is better? If the company offers you for the job, just consider it whether suitable for you. Wish you guys very good luck out there!
Best regards.

Langkawi Trip

This time my family was not following me to Langkawi. So, since the begining, I have told myself, I must get something for this trip. It has been a long time that I never go alone backpack to travel around. Seems odd for others, especially when I was having my meal alone, sun bathing alone, going for shopping alone, jogging alone, 'spaing' alone, walk alone, and many many alone... In fact, not alone, I brought a book along. This book accompany me for the whole trip.
This's not my first time to stay in this resort. Few years ago, I went there with my wife. My chalet was on the hill. So, I need to take shuttle, although I enjoy walking, but at night, it's better to take shuttle coz there are many monkeys jumping around. Who knows the monkey suddenly hug you from the back just to say hello to you!
The open air spa and massage was my 1st experience. Especially the signature massage, really realease my tension and pressure. Luckily there were not so many guests utilising the facilities there, so I can monopoly the jacuzzi, sauna, steam bath and also the waiting lounge enjoying the ginger tea. Taste special.
Since it is a free trade island, so the chocolate and liquer are very cheap over here. Everybody sure will buy few bags of chocolate and liquer to enjoy it. Me too but of course not the liquer la.
I love to jog, so 2 morning I went for jogging along the tracks and also the platform along the beach chalets. Mat Salleh, Japanese, Korean and local tourists were friendly and polite. Perhaps they feel that I am enjoying my life over here or I am crazy jogging early in the morning alone. And I do!
3 days 2 nights stay was not long. But I really enjoy it! I will be back again! With my family this time.

SINGAPORE TRIP 2007

As usual, visiting Singapore during the Christmas Festive Season is my annual event. This year, it seems like not much sales in Singapore. According to them, the economy is not so good there, but the shopping complexes are still full with visitors.
I like Singapore because of their public transport system is really convenient. For 4 days stay in Singapore, I just spent less than SGD20 for the MRT fares. Eat a lot there and of course shopped a lot too, especially my wife. 3 pairs of shoes, several pairs of shirts and skirts and of course my G2000. The chocolate was sold extremely cheap in Singapore compared to Malaysia.
China Town, Tampines, Jurong East, Ang Mo Kio, City Hall, Raffles Place, Woodlands, Redhills, Boon Lay and Bugis .... all of these places have my memories while I was working there. So, every time visit Singapore, I will try to go and see any changes there and refresh my memories, my good time over there.
