Excuse me, Mr Engineer....

"Mr Engineer" is what some of the EVC ppl have been calling me (to tease me) these days. Tats becos i am the only engineering graduate around, and probably also the most ignorant van-owner around.

Sigh, having study for 20yrs, I dun really know what professional skills or knowledge i have acquired. My Principle Engineer ( a 52 yr old guy) was showing me the OR and NAND gates in my van wiring system and i told him the logic gates i have been seeing most of the times are all the ones on my books and lecture notes!

Although my wire connection was up and my lamp was also securedly mounted yday, I was still quite displeased with the exposed wires. Morever, the wires i used were the v thin type which i pluck out from my Micro-P project breadboard. I decided to replace the miserable wires with the superb copper ones my dad bought for his sound systems.

In the darkness at my carpark, I tried to thread my wires from my source point the destination point through the van body metal casing, with the help of an unfolded metal clothes hangar. Very glad that within 30 min, i was able to replace the wires and fix my lamp back successfully. Hurray! No more exposed wires!

Well, i think i am gradually approaching my dad's footsteps. Remember when i was younger, he wud spend a lot of time fixing car accesories on his cars (of cos he was driving more fanciful cars than the partner i am having now). I guess its gets meaningful only when the things are done DIY, with the minimum amt of money spent and max amt of self satisfaction derived.
