Superb State of the Art Laser Technology - One Stop Laser Solution
Monday, October 31, 2011
I have came across a very amazing laser technology business last year which is called Northeast Laser & Electropolish. This is without doubt a really impressive company, the one which has one stop solution for all laser related technology. It can easily solve your laser welding, laser marking, laser cutting and laser engraving. I must admit that my favourite part when viewing the video below is how simple and cool the laser engraving process was carried on. Oh...I wish I can have own or be part of this fantastic company here in my country, perhaps opening a Northeast Laser & Electropolish branch here in Malaysia. Will that be super cool stuff?
Maybe this is not really directly related to Chemical Engineering, but if we want to be a rich chemical engineer, I strongly believe, we must have the desire and start our very own business (anything from small manufacturing product up to becoming a consultant or expert in some technical areas). A laser related business may require a high capital but I believe, our technical engineering knowledge can cope well with the laser industry. Despite of this is a laser tech business, we still can apply some of our chemical engineering skill and knowledge such as the environmental, safety and health, technical drawing an calculation etc.
Common, check out the video below. Tell me if this is cool or not... :)

Regarding the recent survey...
Ops...If you have not answered the short survey that I published few days ago, here is the link. I hope you can kindly assist me answer just 10 simple very basic question in my quest to prepare a good Professional Engineer guide. I can't say how thankful I am for your sincere help. Thanks...
I've attained the Profesional Engineer Status + Short Survey
Thursday, October 27, 2011
I have not able to post about this story last week. Well, last Friday, I received a letter from the Board Of Engineers, Malaysia (BEM) stating that I have been appointed as a Professional Engineer, a status I believe is equal to Chartered Engineer from United Kingdom (that I received several weeks ago).
After 4 years of effort, finally I managed to be a Professional Engineer which allows me the title "Ir." in front of my name and also "PEng" after my name. This is an achievement that I'm very glad to received. It's not just the privilege of having the title but it also impies that I have to carry more responsibilities. As a professional engineer in the discipline of Chemical Engineering, I need to show good professional engineer example, promote ethical engineering practice, help and guide those who want to be professional engineer and many other roles. The society and community will be looking and referring to us on certain matters. A professional engineer also need to contribute as much as humanly possible to the engineering society.
As a first step towards helping others to attain professional engineer or chartered engineer status, I have thought of preparing a short report of my experience on my journey to be both professional and chartered engineer. I am wondering whether there will be a demand for this report? What do you think? Should I prepare such experience sharing report?
In order to have better comprehension of the situation, I have prepared a short 10 question simple survey for you to answer. The answers will help me understand and hopefully prepare a good comprehensive guide on how to assist you in getting Professional Engineer or Chartered Engineer status. Please help me answer the survey >>> HERE <<<.

My Ph.D Progress so far... Oct 2011 Updates
Tuesday, October 18, 2011
I'm now in my 5th semester and I must admit that I'm very worried with my own performance as a Ph.D student. I have basically 8 months more to complete my studies (I was given 3 years for a my full time Ph.D). Otherwise I will have to extend my study to another semester.
I am now midway in my experiments. I am also preparing several technical papers to be published in index journals. It's really not easy. The mood and motivation are always against me. Let's see today's example...
I tried to work on my technical paper draft in my office room. After several minutes I felt sleepy (I did not sleep late at night). Then, I experienced some headache. Both of this elements (sleepy + headache) makes a perfect combination to demotivate me from pursuing my work. I tried to fight the negativity. I relaxed for 2-3 minutes. Then, I thought myself...maybe I should do other work that still can contribute towards my study. I then decided to learn a new optimization method from youtube since I am going to include them in my study. So, I decided to stop working on the technical paper draft for a while and studied this new optimization method. It works... I felt energized to learn a new stuff. This is indeed a good technique which I personally discovered (maybe this is not new to you guys). I have the option of perhaps give up, rest, sleep, relax, chit-chat with my friends, drink some coffee, watch some movie in my laptop but instead I decided to work on something else which still contributes towards accomplishing and perfecting my thesis. I'm really glad to do that.At the same time, to keep up my spirit and assure continuous momentum, I changed my desktop wall paper. It has a message that I should complete my study in the allocated time. This constantly reminds me that I have an unsettle business to complete (the Ph.D off course!!!). This is the final major hurdle that I need to conquer after the other 2 big projects which is to be a professional engineer and chartered engineer, all within a space of 3 years. Fuhhh.... it's really tough but I'm glad I managed to complete the other two.
Enough rambling for now. I'm going to continue with my work. Need to work on something... If you have any motivational quote for me, I really welcome and appreciate them very much. Thanks in advance.
p/s- The photo above shows the Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) equipment with its PC. The PC is very old. It still uses the 3.5" floppy disc. Although it is old, it is still very useful and important for me because it provide one part of my catalyst analysis. The TGA is still in good shape as it is regularly maintained.

I'm now a Chartered Engineer (IChemE)
Friday, September 30, 2011
In the early morning of yesterday, I noticed one email from Karen Brown of IChemE which I read from my Samsung Galaxy Ace Mobile phone (not iPhone). I was very anxious to read her email because the title of the email stated "IChemE Application to transfer to Chartered Membership". I scanned the email swiftly and later read it word by word. Yes! The result from the interview in August is out and I'm now accepted as a member of IChemE and Chartered Engineer. This is the beginning of my professional career as a professional engineer under IChemE.
Among the interesting massage obtained from the email was that I am now eligible to use designatory letters MIChemE after my name. In addition, I am also eligible to use the CEng designatory letters after my name too. CEng stands for Chartered Engineer. This status is given by the Engineering Council of UK.
Based on the email from Karen, I logined into my IChemE website wanting to updated my personal status. I saw that my membership status has already changed to Member Status. Everything has been automatically updated. This is so cool.
I'm now in the process of preparing the IChemE personal stamp and also waiting for the certificate.
I must say that I'm so proud to be an IChemE member. I remembered becoming an IChemE student member in 1998. Then in 2000 I upgraded the membership to Associate Member allowing me to use the designatory AMIChemE. Now in 2011, thanked God I successfully managed to be an IChemE member. Being an IChemE member, I am allowed to do some professional networking, collaborations, knowledge sharing, participate in subject groups and the one that I always use is Knovel database to read online books that is subscribe. This is mainly for my Ph.D research references.
Are you an IChemE member? If not, register now... :)

Unboxing and Fixing of Renewable Gas Purifier for GC
Wednesday, September 28, 2011
I am currently using one piece of very delicate instrument. That instrument is call Gas Chromatography (GC). The one that I'm using now is a Agilent 6890N GC TCD-FID. The GC requires helium, hydrogen and compressed air gas to run. However, this gasses need to be filtered to avoid tiny particulate and impurities from entering the column and trigger many unwanted consequences.
Recently we purchased 3 units of gas purifiers and I've installed them. I would like to share the experience in unboxing an Agilent Renewable Gas Purifier for GC (part number G3440-60004). My colleague, Mahadhir helped me video shoot the unboxing of this gas purifier.
My English may not be good and clear. I hope you can bear with it. Check it out...
I look forward for any comments and feedbacks from you guys. Cheers.
