Back to the yellow campus

Vacation’s over. I’m gonna see a lot of yellow for the next few months.. because I’m back to the yellow campus. There are 2 main campuses, one is in Jakarta and another in Depok, which is where I study. Overall, Depok City can be called as 'youth district', since the importance of the number of students. Students also enjoy green and fresh-air provided by more than 250 hectares of forest inside UI's campus in Depok.

Mang Engking

Mang Engking ni tempat makan paling top di daerah depok! (menurut gw) lokasinya didalem UI lagi, jd bagi mahasiswa yang ngekos ato tinggal di asrama ga perlu repot keluar kalangan UI yang serba macet dan polusi (udara ama suara). Tempatnya mantep banget, bisa lesehan di saung dan suasananya mirip pedesaan.
Gw ma temen2 sering makan disini, dan biasanya gw ga bayar.. soalnya kalo makan disini pasti waktu ultah temen gw.... seakan- akan mang engking ni jadi tempat yang wajib untuk dikunjungi kalo ada yg ultah. Tapi hari ini beda.. soalnya giliran gw yg neraktir temen2 gw, hhe.
Menu2 yang mantap menurut gw: udang bakar madu ama gurame! dan ini emang banyak digemari orang- orang..

oh iya, hari ini gw ga moto apa- apa di mang engking, jadi gw ngambil foto dr tempat orang aj,
hehehe.

Art and engineering

I’m having a little pause from all these engineering drawings right now. Engineering drawing is all about formality and precise way of communicating information about the shape, size, features, and precision of physical objects. In fact drawing itself is the universal language of engineering. So.. this is the drawing I’m currently making.. still need few more hours to finish I think.

 

This is actually a drawing of a microphone stand that me and my friends made in the manufacturing lab..

  

and these are me and Hannibal doing some welding. Welding itself is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals. The flame is dazzling, that’s why you have to wear the mask. Here is the video of our activity.

the making of microphone stand

There you go! the mini microphone stand is ready. By the way, the guy holding that mic stand is my friend, Hannibal Nasserie. He’s not only a student, he’s also a musician. He plays guitar in the band called idealego. He’s gonna have a concert in the Netherlands this month! But before going there, he (and all other students) have to face the final exams first ! Wish us luck!

Lastly, when I think about all these engineering stuff.. they’re not that different compared to art. In fact, engineering is art.
