assalamualaikum wbt

this is my second nephew, qa'id aged 3 months. he had reminded me on how tough it can be to photograph a baby, and yes it is tough. out of few frames that i have taken of his image, this is the best that i could have. others? not up to standards plus he had his mood upside down.

would try to do it again later, with more mental and physically prepared.

how cute can a baby be, thanks to Allah for such a creation.

Ensemble in G (EiG) and Space Gambus Experiment (SGE)

assalamualaikum wbt!

we did it, in short. as january kicks in, we have started our first training for this event. Ensemble of Gamelan aside from a normal gamelan showcase is something that we would always try to make it. It's a celebration of 10 years anniversary of Gamelan UTP, our previous-current-associate-loved gamelan group.

without Gamelan UTP being existed and founded by our seniors, we would not be able to play gamelan, as we are now. graduated, working yet playing gamelan to our heart content! we loved music, we loved to play gamelan, and we enjoyed being part of gamelan. there are a lot to it aside from music, there is legacy, tradition and long history of using gamelan to promote something great.

and there we are, after performing at Ensemble of Gamelan (EoG), we were invited to perform at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS together with our associate, Space Gambus Experiment. It is an outstanding oppurtunity even for us, despite some of us had played here before with Gamelan UTP, but for EiG, it is a starting point. 

this is where we would return to, to play our songs to other people.

for both of the event, we performed song entitled 'Kepulangan' where it bring the idea of us, the graduated student to play a song showing that we are still here, holding to gamelan.

and thank you to all EiG players. without you, we would not be able to complete this huge milestone, celebrating 10 years anniversary as well as rising up our level to another level. 

we would always continue the legacy, the tradition as well as exploring new ways of gamelan performance.

with that, we open our humble hands to those people who wanted to collaborate with us, insyaAllah we can maintain this legacy and at the same time bring gamelan to a different game.

this is the recorded sound of Kepulangan. It is an answer to what would it be if experimentalist meets up with traditionalist. enjoice!

photojournalism - project x plet

assalamualaikum wbt!

plet is an acronym for pipeline ends termination. in short, it's basically the end of your pipeline. there are several reasons why you need a plet and for this project x, we need this as to terminate the rigid pipeline and to connect it to our flexible flowlines. though it can normally connected using a flange to flange connection, due to operation needs, we need to install the plet to accommodate some of the piping arrangement to it. sounds complicated?

and now, if you have several pipeline that need to be terminate at a platform, the best way is for you to consider plem. pipeline end manifolds. to consider this, you need to ensure that the hydrocarbon properties for each of the fluids are rather the same. the function of the pipeline is also the same or else you might end up to have several plet or straight riser to rigid pipeline connection.

this is something that you need consider in your design. as usual, pictures below are pictures taken (in photojournalism or documentary mode) for plet installation. its can be considered a normal lifting though but you still need to ensure several things prior to the lift. :D

hence, enjoy!

and  i'm still offshore. suddenly got hit by weather as supposed that we can complete installation of rigid riser yesterday. hopefully i can go back during this thursday boat run. with that, i would not be able to stand up to my promise. i'm sorry.

p/s: grey.
