I enjoy doing lab!!

*Gasp. How can lab be interesting? Yeps, after 3.5 years in UTM, this is the first time I've found lab work interesting. Usually the labs we go to are more to machinery stuff...I mean, we do experiment with machines, turbines and stuff, but it isn't so nice...Maybe the lab reports just kill me. Anyhow, this semester we have this lab that wants us to have hands-on experience instead of all theory and no practical. Luckily the section that I registered for have interesting labs lined up for us. The first time we get to produce our own composite product, and last week we dismantled a gearbox, so we got to know how auto-transmission works.

But this week we had Auto-Engine, and we get to dismantle a Proton Wira 1.5L engine to bits. Fun!! Maybe it's because the technician was very helpful, or it's the lubricating oil on our hands that make us feel like we're really engineers (or rather, mechanics)...But it feels so mechanical, y'know...made me so excited for my internship in February. It's fun lah...or have I run out of topics to blog on? haha. but I really had fun, so I just wanted to share this. =) but I am not looking forward to the lab reports that I have to do this semester. Unfinishable. *pukes.

Viva mechanical engineers...




L to R: vun, lili, jennifer---my labmates


Mr. Yap, once my savior. Helped me and housemates set up networking for Streamyx, formatted my PC, deleted all my pics by formatting the wrong drive...Lolz
