I'm sure all of you have heard about the new courthouse leak. It seems that everything that can go wrong is going wrong. Dun really know bout the construction industry in malaysia, but somehow buildings doesn't seem to be build like they used to. It all started with the landslide in Putrajaya (of all places) and then things went down from there.

Anyway, I feel that the cause of the leak; using PVC end cap to plug an ABS class 15 (to withstand 15 bars of pressure) is just so wrong, it becomes downright insane. There is no way either one of them can go together unless you had a proper adapter. To join ABS you need a special solvent which bonds the joints together. For PVC I think you use those plumbing tape and screw it in as it has grooves to allow it. Oh, did I mentioned the local water authority Syabas doesn't allow PVC pipes anymore? and ABS class 15 can't be installed too tightly otherwise it will break (expansion and contraction and brittle)? or ABS pipe is not recommended to be place in the sun? only licensed plumbers are allowed to carry out plumbing work? All this from a building services engineer whom is tasked to design cold water systems in building. In a perfect building the pipes would be stainless steel, but that would inflate the cost so much.

Anyway, my car had a change of plate recently. My car's cool number is transfered over to my dad's new car upon his request. The number is worth more than my Wira lol with car prices dropping like mad. Anyway the new plate is almost the same as the original plate and it costs cheaper too. I would prefer it to be BJM (JM is my name) but got BJL instead since the new car was expected to arrive from Thailand around the time the number was tendered. Coincidentally Ji Long is what those ang mo calls me when I was in Australia. At the same time my uni's e-mail is ji.long@ so and so. Over there, ppl tend to address a person by their first name and their last name. Oh well.
