The trip up North ..... Sitiawan

This is one trip which I was not really looking forward to. The main reason was, there is a full day between this trip and the trip to Penang. Try as we might, we could not get both customers to stick to "the" schedule, which is for me to go to Sitiawan first, and then spend the night in Penang before doing that job. This would not only save time but more importantly, money and resources. Yes, I was needed at two sites which I could not tear myself away from.

Added to the problem, my Notebook has been sent for repair due to a few failures rangin from cooling fan to USB ports to logic board and also, the LCD screen bezel. Because of this, my Senior tech could not help since I had to take the only Laptop in the company with me.

This is the system we loaned while theirs was
taken away from repair.

And in just 30 minutes, I swapped back the system
and got it running. It could be sooner if not for all the
Tom, Dick and Harry asking me when they can use
the phones.

Since I am early, I had to wait for the Earthing expert
who is also my friend. The reason for his being here is
to find out why the phone system failed. And after a
few minutes of detective work, we discovered what
we would suspect, bad workmanship. Here, the Earth
cable is not going where its supposed to be. And after
waiting for the contractor to arrived, things were not
that friendly anymore.

One thing led to another and this is one of the points where
the Earth cable is supposed to pass through but it seems to
be "missing".

And why is there not Earth cable here? Oh, Mr.Contractor
said this is for the building's Earth. And so, where is the one
for the phones?

Er, um, ah...... yes! Mr. Contractor suspect someone else
have tarred over the Earthing point meant for the phones.
You know, the whole experience can be summed up as
seeing a deer caught in your car's headlights and with
nowhere to run. Then again, in this case, its illegal to
shoot that deer.

And I am not having any of this. So we quickly wrapped
up and let the customer deal with the CONtractor. My
other agenda is to go back to Teluk Intan for my Chee
Cheong Fun. Once they're ready, one look at the sky...

Its amazing how beautiful the clouds look at this moment.
Maybe its the circular polariser which is stuck to the lens
as it could not take it off now......

This was the last shot seconds before all the cats and
dogs fell.
