First Day alarm radio came on at 6 am! Brush up, clean up, actually, nothing to clean except shave, brush etc since my ass was almost frozen off!
Anyway, since paid for water, bath lah! As usual with winter showers, have to figure out the fine line between getting our ass cooked and that of being part of the chilled fish lot going off to Japan for Sashimi!
I hate breakfast at the Holiday Inn. It has got only cereals, frozen eggs....yes! FROZEN EGGS!, coffee that is 1kg make 1 swimming pool type, and 7 types of sweetner and 6 types of creamer to pretend that you are drinking something sophisticated!
Well, two whips from that cold cereals, that is it! I am off to Denny's to get something closer to body temperature!
At Denny's, breakfast sandwich came with ham, coleslaw, eggs sunny side up, sweet tea (our iced lemon tea), hashbrowns and 4 pan cakes! 2kg of food for 6.99! But must tip, so kena $9 USD! Not like our $1.50 USD good ol' Laksa back home!

At the office, now work starts for our kick ass floating armour! Now, let see......hmmm, why we got so many ammo types in a few cupboard is something I am still figuring out. It is always nice to meet Mike again, our shooter. Works kind of not very motivated. So took him for killer 18" medium sized Hawaiian Pizza with Championon Mushrooms, Hardee's, Dragon Village etc to cheer him up.First up, we got some shields to design....man, the exisitng ones, boy! are they heavy! So, we wipe some NanoRepel into the Twaron T750s and we got the layer counts from 24 down to 14! That is almost a 40% reduction in materials and 50 drop in labour cost since now we have a prepreg and need not pay the guys to lay up the glue sheets in between layers anymore! The boss is really happy. Stops the Magnum 44, 357 SIG, 9mm +P+. For me, I am just happy to be able to sell more chemicals.
Here you can see the difference NanoRepel makes. On the left, it is Mag 44 JHP on a pack with 6 layers of NanoRepel Prepreged Twaron CT709s and the left is one with the same pack with one of the NanoRepels replaced with the new Honeywell Spectra Shield II material. The energy signature of this phase change material is clear.
Then its time to take out the nasty stuff. Tokarev. The one in the fore ground is the ball round that can be fired from the pistol, the clip on the background is what you can get from Czech or Cambodia for $5. Those are kick ass steel bullet jacketed! Shoots right through level IIIA armour and a double shot within 1 inch from each other will shot through the level III plate, except ours! Heh heh heh
Then we have some experiments with ultra lightweight armour concepts which I thought Mike to look out for. The science is new to the customer, but their CTO is very how lian, so I taught him nothing. Heh Heh...Since he How Lian, let him be How Tai then.
