Date: 13 January 2011 Anchor Bolt - A fastener used to fastened an element to a base material. To perform maintenance on existing structure can be very challenging as we do not have the freedom of space to work with. An anchor bolt for an equipment at my work place failed in tensile mode, causing increased in vibration reading of the equipment. To repair this, we have reached out to HILTI Malaysia, a specialist in anchoring. There are 2 types of anchors: Cast-In Anchor and Post-Installed Anchor Cast-In anchor is widely used on new construction, which is not an option for my repair work. It is not economically feasible to demolish most part of the concrete in order to cast in the anchor. Also, the time is a constraint. Thus, post-installed anchor is the best option. However, some calculations are required to ensure strength of anchor with overall loading. Cast-In Anchor Types of Cast-In Anchor: 1) Headed Bolt 2) L-Bolt 3) J-Bolt 4) Stud-welded plate.

Shopping Trip With the Ladies! Bye2 Hasben... I am off to Indonesia with the girls... plus 1 boy (a husband to one of the girls). This trip was very different from my usual trips - apart from no Hasben, I was expected to do less sight-seeing and plenty of shopping! But I only brought along RM300, so let's not get too excited... Iza was the trip leader. She arranged for the tour package and even managed to include Hard Rock Cafe visit in the itenary for my sake (I think so)... Thank you dearie!!

There were sooo many people at the airport that we had trouble to exit the building since the baggage check thingy was overcrowded with people... and bags!! When we finally boarded our van, it was still difficult to exit the parking area due to traffic jam. S...

Winter in Beijing! It has been more than 2 years since we first started our travelling addiction and the first country we visited was China. As a first timer, we decided to follow a tour group - Reliance Muslim Travel - which we booked during MATTA Fair. My memories are a bit rusty but I will try my best to remember how the journey went. Date: 18 December 2008 It was a 6 hour journey from KL. We arrived at dawn and it was quite a shock to experience the really cold weather. We met with our tour guide, Fara, a Mongolian who speaks really good Malay! Beijing City from our bus. Our first visit was to the Imperial Garden Summer Palace which was built for the mother of the last emperor, Qi Zi. It is very beautiful, and surely, it is more amazing during spring time! The lake was frozen soild! The guards at the entrance of Summer Palace. Fara, our guide - the little Malaysian flag was carried around to make sure we know where she was at all time! Us!
