Last week, I went for a field trip to Batang Ai Dam. It is located at Batang Ai National Park in Sarawak, Malaysia (coordinate 01°08′50″N 111°52′26″E) and is operated by Sarawak Electricity Supply Corporation (SESCO). The 24 km2 dam could power up to 100MW (MegaWatt) with its 4 massive turbine!
The journey there started at about 8am and reached the destination at about 2.30pm with some stops along the journey (Serian, Lachau, Sri Aman, Lubok Antu). A normal journey without stops will be about 3-4 hours.
Every places there is a special landmark. In Sarawak, statue of Cats (Kuching), Durian (Serian), Pigeon Bird (Sri Aman) and Fish (Batang Ai).
This.....is not the dam...
A view at one of the stop (i don't know what this place is called)
People here use speed boats to travel from one place to another
Items available at Lachau market. The dark brown preserved fishes on the left side of the picture are preserved using some kind of smoke technique.

Most Pen Drive use a ordinary type-A USB connection allowing plugging into a port on a personal computer, but drives for other interfaces also exist. In 1999 – 2000, pen drives ware invented by Amir Ban, Dov Moran and Oron Ogdan, all of the Israeli company M-Systems. The first Pen Drive was manufactured in early 2000 by a company called Trek with product Thumbkey, shortly followed by M-systems (now SanDisk) with their DiskonKey drive. Pen Drive combines a number of older technologies, among subordinate cost, subordinate power expenditure and tiny size made possible by advances in C.P.U technology. In 2000, IBM and Trek Technology began selling the first USB flash drives. Starting commercially at memory levels in the kilobyte range, memory capacity skyrocketed over the next several years into the multi-gigabyte level. Now a day’s Pen Drive / USB flash drives is a most popular device of all around the world. Every computer expert or under expert use it for data transfer and data storage. It has made the world a very different place. Latest uses and adaptations come almost each year, and the demand is increasing with each new technology.
