Lately there has been news saying that Malaysia could go Nuclear soon with it’s brand new RM11 Bil nuclear power plant. It is good to see the government and related bodies trying to find solution for power crisis in Malaysia. but unfortunately they are choosing a wrong way to go with.
Thought we are running out of petroleum, and then there was hydrates !!!
Clathrate hydrates (or gas clathrates, gas hydrates, clathrates, hydrates etc) were first documented in 1810 by Sir Humphrey Davy. they are crystalline water based solids physically resembling ice, in which small non polar molecules (typically gases) are trapped inside “cages” of hydrogen bonded water molecules. Without the support of the trapped molecules, the lattice structure of hydrate clathrates would collapse into conventional ice crystal structure or liquid water.
I was reading through the VoxPop comment in Malaysiakini and saw this comment written by CH Siew. Obviously the writer of the comment is unaware of the situation faced by the indians prior to writing the comment.

CH Siew: I am very impressed with Samy Vellu. Even when he lost his seat during the elections, he is still working very hard to safeguard the rights of the Indians in Malaysia. Now Indian contractors can work hand in hand with Malay contractors in infrastructure projects. I always say, if you want to win back the trust of the people, show them that you are really working hard for them.
Samy Vellu was gracious enough to refuse entry into the government by special appointment. He does not need any appointment at all to work for the people. Shouldn’t we be grateful to such a man who is willing to sacrifice for his race?

Today i was jus surfing the net and just happen to drop by rembau.net, khairy jamalludin’s blog. and i happen to find an intresting article on Maths and Science being thought in English.
i wrote an article on this issue before but it never made it out and still sitting as draft. but after reading his article, i just couldnt stop myself from writing a comment on his site.
At the time i write this article, my comment is yet to be published in his site. so to share my view on the issue, i wish to republish my comment here.
Now i know this is a copy paste article, but it is worth reading. Check it out.

KUALA LUMPUR: Three housing developers are now constructing solar panels on 56 units of new houses in a move to generate electricity from sunlight.
Energy,Water and Communications Deputy Minister Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum said the three - Bandar Eco Setia Sdn Bhd, Senandung Budiman Sdn Bhd and Amarin Wickham Sdn Bhd have agreed to install the solar panels on the rooftops of the houses as part of the Suria 1000 programme to educate the public on solar energy.
Tenaga Nasional Malaysia (TNB) is providing Solar Energy option for home users. Solar Energy is harvested through Solar panels and run through a Grid-Tie Inverter to supply power to the house and pumps out excess energy back into the main grid.
When contacted TNB regarding this feature, i was informed to fill up a form and submit the request at the nearest Kedai Tenaga. For those who are intrested in having solar power at home, you can head down to nearest Kedai Tenaga for more information.
Why should i study or work overseas ?
many ask them self this question but very few find the answer for it. here are few reasons why you should.
1. Builds a good profile for your working life.
imagine you get to work with an international company where the management and clients are from a foreign country. having experience of their culture will help you establish a good relationship with them. and hey, you might even get promoted earlier.
2. Discover a whole new world.
many of us dont leave anywhere further than our own state to work or study. our life is confined to a very small geographical area where we only get to experiance the lifestyle of that particular area. the lifestyle is like a frog living inside a well.
3. helps understand other countries cultures.
Many of us dont really understand the cultures of other countries and assume they are not good be it west or east. this will give you an opertunity to understand their cultures and help close the cultural gap between them.
Ahh, it’s time to put all the techies aside and blog about cooking !!!
Now i know that you all must be wondering why the heck did i choose to write about cooking. Well, men are known to be worlds best cooks. though i might not be as good as them, i sure do have my own tricks to share.
Back to cooking. last Sunday, i tried to make dinner for my family, and i came up with an idea to fry chicken. i mean what is so special in frying chicken you may ask. well the trick is to fry the chicken Ala KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken).
So i set out to the supermarket and got myself the ingredients to make it. Here’s what i have used.
Now i know many who visit this site have no experience whatsoever in sky watching. Even I myself havent haven’t got the chance to do so as some minor financial issues, hahaha. But some of you might wonder how to get started onto the field of sky watching. Well, wonder no more.
The first most important thing you need for sky watching is a telescope (a binocular would do if you just want to watch the moon). Choosing the right telescope is always hard especially if you don’t have much knowledge about the telescopes. You also have to give special attention to the cost and the type of telescope you need (Choose too high and your cost will skyrocket, too low and you aint going to get good view). There are many telescopes available in the market. But if you’re a beginner or have a low budget to start off, this will be your best bet.
If you are looking for largest light gathering capability for the cheapest price, this is the scope. SK1149EQ2 is a 114mm diameter reflector telescope, which means that it gathers 165% more light than a 70mm telescope. It comes with two eyepieces for low and high magnification. For superior stability, it is equips with an equatorial mount, capable of tracking objects across the sky either manually or with additional motor.
This scope will roughly cost around RM1000 in Malaysia including its accesories. So if your budget is higher you may look for higher spec telescope than this one. But for beginners, this scope will do the trick. Optionally you might also want to buy the camera place holder for snapping wonderful images of the sky. The Pro’s may use DSLR to take snaps. But for beginners, you might start off with a normal digital camera. Cameras will be discussed in a different post.
Once you have your telescope and camera in place, its time to become a real astronomer and show the world how wonderful the universe look like. Happy Viewing.
