What would you do if you receive US$1 million dollar tomorrow?

I read an article about what you should do when you win the big contest.
Just imagine ourselves in that position. What would you do if you were to receive US$1 million dollar tomorrow? If it was me, perhaps I would:

- Leave some money in ASB and enjoy the dividend
- Pays my PTPTN debt
- Investment in properties
- Take a leave and travel around the world
- Get my own gadget
- Go to NAZA automall and book SUBARU WRX STi

It sure is nice to daydream huh?

We all know that lighting is the name of the game. Nothing we see is anything other than a reflection of light off of it and the more lighting situations we can see something in the better off we are. In 1896, the first dry cell battery was invented. Unlike previous batteries, it used a paste electrolyte instead of a liquid. This was the first battery suitable for portable electrical devices, as it did not spill or break easily and worked in any orientation.These early flashlights made from paper tube with the light bulb and a rough brass reflector at the end ran on zinc–carbon batteries which were incapable of providing a steady source of electric current and needed to be 'rested' periodically to continue functioning. Because these flashlights also used energy-inefficient carbon-filament bulbs, this occurred at short intervals. Consequently, they could be used only in brief flashes, hence the popular name flashlight.

My first flashlight was LED type powered by lithium 123 batteries and off course it made in China. I never thought it cost a few hundred ringgit but it worth because the brightness maybe around 80 to 100 lumen. The lumen (symbol: lm) is the SI unit of luminous flux, a measure of the perceived power of light Then when i working in oil and gas field, it required to use explosive proof flashlight. Very critical when working in hazardous place especially when gas pipe nearby. The flashlights were specially design to reduce or eliminate potential spark from bulb to switch. Most of these flashlight bright in color, screw type switch, xenon bulb and very expensive. LOL

My latest flashlight now are from USA and these brand maybe new in Malaysia. SUREFIRE was biggest supplies for law enforcer in USA. The brightness really help me during inspection and working in dark space like inside turbine exhaust.

The brightest is China made but get hot faster.

Bintulu My Second Home?

• This friday was my 5th friday in Bintulu. The work scheduled for only 16 days but it dragged to a month due to generator's work delay. HUHUHU... For married guy friday night is very important but for me its notthing. Rumors about this friday night can heard almost everydays during standby period. Mr Lee, my foreman knows almost every inch of streets and trails in this bintulu district. He act like walking wikipedia from culture, history to geographical and we talk bout conquering Sarawak before our last project in Bintulu. Recently he go to Kapit (http://turbinemanlog.blogspot.com) and planning to go to Mulu next time.

Mr Lee in action, we have to snap candid due to camera shy

• Bintulu Division is one of the eleven administrative divisions of Sarawak, east Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It is approximately 624 km away from Kuching and about 215 km from either Sibu or 205 km from Miri. Bintulu is known as a place of 'making a money' or 'lubuk duit and it is not a main tourist destination in Sarawak.

• Ethnically, the population was Iban, Chinese, Malay, Melanau, Kayan, Kenyah and Punan. There is a large foreign worker population due to the strength of the petroleum industry. ( including me! )

• Tanjung Kidurong (10-20km from Bintulu town). Tanjung Kidurong is an industrial zone which consists of Petronas Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Complex, currently the world’s largest liquefied natural gas production facility on a single site, Shell facilities of SMDS (Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis), BCOT (Bintulu Crude Oil Terminal), Bintulu Port, ABF (Asean Bintulu Fertilizer), Sarawak Fertilizer and various shipping and hardware factories.
  

• Bintulu has around 27% of Sarawak’s tropical rainforest, and the timber industry remains a strong component of the Division economy.

• Agriculture is relatively close to oil palm as it shows by a huge plantation along coastal road to Miri that 200km from Bintulu.
