New Generation

People.. People... Do you know the Boeing 737-800 New Generation are arriving!!! I didn't know till I saw with my own eyes when it was landing in Penang International Airport.

Boeing 737-800

OK, a brief intro, MAS is replacing all their old 737-400 planes with this new one. It seems to be better as it is more fuel economic and further travel distance.

The classic 737-400. Spot the difference

Well anyway, a few days back while traveling on my lovely Rapid Penang, i spotted a plane landing. From far I recognize it as a MAS plane and start guessing its plane type and i saw the wing tip that can only make me think of is the Airbus 330. As it gets nearer, I got shock seeing the new 737 flew pass. I quickly took out my phone camera and position to snap the plane. When the plane was on my screen, I snap saw the plane freeze on my screen and I was smiling widely.

Until moments later i check back my phone memory all i got WAS

This stupid tree

Optic Fibre

Have you seen an Optic Fibre cable before? Last Tuesday, two piece of those cable was put in front of me during lab session and I was wondering what it was till my classmate told me it was Optic Fibre.

As usual, the jungle boy got excited and all the Oo and Ah noises came out.

I believe my classmate is able to sense my curiosity on how to use it and that's where he shine his handphone flash inside the cable.

Looks like LED from top view

It works

You'll get this if you knows how an Optic Fibre works =)

Anyway, the Optic Fibre was used for transmission of signal (I think using Amplitude Shift Keying) which will on and off the LED.
