I am Bond, James Bond.


Gemma Lou and I. I am arming her with a front fixture to get ready for the AT500 sonar trial. This picture was taken on the 20th of December 2004. I am seeing her again this incoming Monday. This time for power-up test on all the critical instruments. Beautiful little boat.

Hovering In The Air


This is a final year project I supervised. The objective is to identify the dynamics of the hovercraft. Technical speaking, hovercraft is considered to be nondrifless, 2nd order nonholonomic (underactuated) system. (What a mouthful !!!). In layman's term, its dynamics is very difficult to quantify mathematically. This vehicle is employed as a prototyping platform for advanced guidance and controls algorithms.

My Space


Ha! This is my office desk. The person sitting there is not me, of course. But that is normally where I will be sitting. Please do not comment about how disorder my desk is. I try to tidy it often, but I think nature always looks for equilibrium and mine is not pretty.

My Hottie Laptop


Take a look inside my cool Laptop (Amilo 7280). She is two years old. During the last month, she gave up on me, becoming more and more temperamental, shutting off intermittently. Finally, I made a very difficult decision to dismantle her. Wow, found a big wool-size dust sticking to the radiator. No wonder she was so HOT ! ! ! :)

Nursery Rythme: My Little Pony


This is my horse, not pony. Kidding..
I met her in Snowdonia.

The Plymouth Drunkard Master


Health warning: This is the danger when you get drunk. This happened to my mate during Ivan's farewell party last February. He was singing gleefully without knowing that I was framing him. Yes, keep on singing mate. He was babbling Japanese song. :)
