some ramblings

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

all my life i’ve been fascinated with how things worked and functioned. what makes something do what it does. like a car door latch, mechanical parts of a tamiya car, and what makes those parts superior to alternative parts(durability, weight, simplicity, easy to repair/maintain, ability to withstain different forces). Sometimes while walking around i would knock or rap my knuckles on structural supports, railings and walls to see how solid and dense it is and guess how much load its carrying. and how much it must have weighed. Or maybe thats because i had nothing better to do. thats how i got an A in my spm physics, i guess. but i didnt like calculations. i hated doing excercises. and my usually excellent memory fails me when it comes to formulas. and i didnt grasp some concepts of mechanics cos i didnt get to see it in action. which is why i sucked at all those subjects.

the trip to singapore. a few weeks ago. too lazy to check calender.

arrived at jb on saturday night, met with friend at tebrau aeon, went to his house in time to watch arsenal score late and draw with man u. in the morning went to jb city square, parked car there. took only a pouch bag containing passport and pen (talk about travelling light eh?). took bus from there to singapore. 90 cents(malaysian currency). stopped at woodlands, got down to pass through customs and imigration, then got on the bus again. went to dunno where(forgot). too mrt from there to the different tourist destinations. 1st stop was bugis street. oh, and on the mrt saw some1 who looked like rei amami. google if ur clueless. from bugis square walked to sim lim square and checked out pc peripherals. then took mrt to raffles square, walked around city hall, citylink, mandarin square and suntec convention centre. the houses there were mostly apartments and condos. so space is a luxury i guess.

loading of the logs on the trucks at the log collecting site at rompin. fill in the delivery order with details of each log to be referred to and crossed out on the log list. once the trucks arrive at the sawmill, check the logs and d.o. to check for irregularities, make an invoice for the delivery order. then the logs are cut into planks in sizes that are in demand for that particular wood type and according to the saw doctor (different woods, different saw blades). once the planks are cut, it is sent to the warehouse to be organized into sizes, lengths, and wood types. then the daily tally is taken for each machine. after being organized, its then strapped and bundled. each bundle is 1 type of wood in 1 size in a few lengths, for example: chengal, 2×4 inches. usually 2-7 feet are in 1 bundle, 8 foot and upwards are in another bundle. u dont want 2 foot and 20 foot planks in the same bundle. that would be a nightmare for the person that counts the planks and logs the bundles (me). then the number of planks in the bundle is cross checked with the daily tally for any irregularities. then we do a packing list of 1 type of wood. for instance: kapor wood: bundles 2,3,4,5; in sizes 1/2×3, 1×4, 1.5×2.5, in which lengths, and number of planks. the packing list is sent to prospective customers. once they have confirmed the purchase, an invoice is made, once paid and loaded onto the trucks, a delivery order and receipt is given. then update the sales records, inventory records and accounts.
