A Kármán vortex street is a term in fluid dynamics for a repeating pattern of swirling vortices caused by the unsteady separation of flow of a fluid over bluff bodies. It is named after the engineer and fluid dynamicist, Theodore von Kármán and is responsible for such phenomena as the “singing” of suspended telephone or power lines, and the vibration of a car antenna at certain speeds. In other word this phenomenant happen when  fluid or gas flow in a solid cydrical body.

In Labarotary in look like these:-

But in the real world it look more fantastic .Here NASA produce a great image of Vortex when at a Large scale.

Von Karman Vortices over Broutona

These Von Karman vortices formed over the islands of Broutona, Chirpoy, and Brat Chirpoyev (“Chirpoy’s Brother”), all part of the Kuril Islands chain between Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula and Japan.

In these images from NASA’s Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer, an impressive vortex pattern continues for over 300 km southward of Jan Mayen island. Jan Mayen is an isolated territory of Norway, located about 650 km northeast of Iceland in the north Atlantic Ocean.

Atmospheric Vortices near Guadalupe Island

The rugged terrain of this volcanic Mexican island reaches a maximum elevation of 1.3 kilometers. The island is about 35 kilometers long and is located 260 kilometers west of Baja California. The vortex pattern is made visible by the marine stratocumulus clouds around Guadalupe Island.

So what the fish today? Yesterday i accidently put an iron on the new ‘three time only i sleep on it’ duvet. Now i have an iron logo on my duvet.. wallah that what i called an art. But this not today story. Did u know why i highlighted the picture above? Niraj paudel is my classmate. He try to impress the other classmate in the facebook by using online translation. In English it sound like this:

I still remember in the early 90’s where i use to go to kuala Lumpur by bus. At that time we used to have ‘Bas Mini’. Just like the others commuters taking ‘bas mini’ as a main transportation. Riding it fell like is a roller coaster ride. Imagine with such  a small bus, it goes 80 to 90 km/hr. And when it come to traffic jam it, this vehicle will be a champion by going up on the curb and drove all away. Hahaha..during that time the driver get all his pay by the number of trip that he make. That mean more trip more money in the pocket.

Seating in the ‘bas mini’ is the most horrible part where the seat is desgined to fit one and half ass. What happen to the person who only seat with his half ass is seated during the bus make a turn? haha..then u have a conductor who will go to collect money and when he sure that all the passanger have pay, he will knock the bus with his clippers. Did u still remember where is the “bell button” located? Its way at the top.

Bas mini aka wild bitch

I still taking my bus ride during my secondary school. This time the Bas Selangor is the the king of the road( Rapid KL tak cool pasal slow). I commute by bus from Cheras to Kepong. You need to take two different bus to reach the destination. (Cheras – City Centre – Kepong). The whole journey take more than 2 hours. I always accompany by my friend tomok aka Syafiq Zakaria since we go to same school and stay in the same are. Wonder what he is doing right now.

One day while we’re travelling together, we’re so tired and fall asleep in the bus. Suddenly:

We already miss our stop. Bloody hell. We decide to stop and walk all the way back. It cost us 30 minute walk. Damn.

Bas Selangor aka Speeding Bullet

Now i’m in Glasgow,  still using the same mode of transportation to commute from Maryhill to City Center. Here, the bus is insanely on time and efficient. Bus is a serious business. Hope this shit is happening in Malaysia.  The facilites from small bus stop to the biggest one fucking awesome!! I like! FirstGroup is the biggest operator. They have a wide range of bus. From the old looking bus to the most futuristic one. What make me feel to talk about bus is because yesterday i accidently ride an older version bus (Not that really old just look outdated) which remind me when i was young.

But one thing i realize is that the bus ride is aint cool anymore. Everything in order, clean and the most uncool thing is the driver obey the speed limit. Dang!! I really miss the “bas mini”.

Well everybody has at least a memory about it. Whats yours?

This is my first post since i arrive Glasgow. It been a quite headache since so many to be done such a short time. The biggest problem that i encounter is to find a suitable place to live.  My friend search the whole town and found a new and fully furnished placed to rent around Maryhill. We apply for it through an agent. Imagine just to settle all the documentation it take around one week. Hell yeah. Thats a long time to wait. While waiting for the documentation to settle, i merempat at my frenz place. And before i merempat i already stay at the hotel for two days.(tak boleh tahan!!).

But it is a worth to wait. This house is an ex-showroom. So everything is completed and all the appliances is still under warranty. it is bonus for us since we dont need to samak everything. hehe. I really like this area even it take me 20 minute bus ride to go to town. Home sweet Home.

Phew, finally finished packing up all the required stuff. Here is my itenary for the next few days.
