I think it is high time for me to adjust the blog window to 1200 pixels across as most display is now capable to display such resolution. The major advantage is that the photos will now be larger.
I still use back the same banner photo. Somehow I like this photo. Maybe, one of these days I will change it.
I hope you like it!

Tasik Mas, Limbang
Tasik Mas, Limbang is a popular spot for joggers, etc. I was there last year and attempted to climb the slope to the top of the hill. I climbed that hill, which is just behind Limbang Town, a couple of times in the early 70's.
The Tasik Mas is above sea level. It is well maintained and the lake is surrounded by greens....
... and flowering plants. The lake itself is full of lilies.

Fake or Real. Can you tell?
Lately, I heard of people buying iPhone and was conned. What they got could be just toy, simply fake or used.
This morning, a certain bird nest exporter from Miri told me about the ban by China of all Malaysian bird nest except those canned. The newspaper reported that one of the reasons could be fake bird nest from Malaysia!
This gentleman frequented China and he told me that in China there are fake chicken wing being served, fake kangkong, fake eggs, rotten meat made into delicacies, etc. I knew of someone who bought a bagful of beef tendon from China which turned out to be made of nylon (plastic)!
He further told me that the worse are those stops made by tourist buses cos everyone earned a commission! Prices are double those of the real stuff. Worse, fake clothing passed off as real branded stuff looks good only once. When washed, they crumble and looked like preserved veggie (as he described it)!
So, watch out!
Just in case you wanted to buy bird nest, click here to find out more, especially how to differentiate a fake and a real one.

Word From Davis
The Aggies are trucking right along...schedule is very strong, and the Bridge looks like it'll be basically done in a matter of days.
Some quick notes on the UC Davis vibe right now:
1. Super excited about the chance to compete in Berkeley. Davis has nothing but respect for CalASCE and is looking forward to a great weekend with their peers.
2. Not super excited about having Mid-Pac week during the tailend of quarter projects and finals, but alas, when it rains it pours. Welcome to the real world.
3. The abundance of quality welders among the student body is one of the perqs of being at an Ag school.
4. Construction is completely unpredictable at the moment...so many scenarios to sort through, but mainly just can't wait to practice.
5. Pier frames and lateral design deserve their own committee, and will be taken beyond seriously...plans to be engaged shortly.
