The researchers also used the boxfish as a basis for the body of the concept car itself. The boxfish's skin consists of numerous hexagonal, bony plates that makes it very strong yet the fish itself is very light. The structure of the bionic car uses the principles of bone formation to allow for a very light weight with high rigidity. According to Daimler-Chrysler, if this design principle is used throughout the entire car, the weight can be reduced by a third and it won't lose any of its strength or crash safety.|W|P| 114794265993777415|W|P| |W|P| allanlimyc@gmail.com 5/15/2006 04:15:00 pm|W|P| Allan Lim|W|P| Hope the guys from the kaleebso trip are as stoned as i am ...... this shows that we have done a great job in getting the most and best out of our of passion for scuba diving and nature Congrats to Nicole and Alexia for completing their Centuary dives with us. Same for Steven, who has finally broken his single digit dive log. Gratitute to MM Lim Meng Meng and SM Tan Kim Han who insisted that we follow the procedures and conduct check out dives. The annual TUF (Tulai Ultimate Frisbee) Championship was held on a different beach at tulai with the fabulous powder sand. Once again it was a close fight between the team with Chee Han and the team without. The 10 mins halfs were sufficient to kill us with exhaustion and this time round we have a group of spectators consisting of Lili, princess, pea and pekya who cheered us on from the cool water edge. Khaylee's fantabulous knowledge of the waters of tioman really made our planning much easier. Mary's cooking......heavanly! i think i am overloaded with crabs and prawns..... To the new people who joined us for the first time - thanks for having faith in us, hope we did not dissapoint you. To the old friends who cancel their oversea trips to come for this trip - it was nice to catch up with you guys all over again To the people who couldn;t make it to this trip : 'har har har' (just kidding) Me and Todd had a great time getting lost with you guys....I guess this is the reason clubnarc will exist for a while more..... until the next dive trip... thank you and see you at UF this sunday!

I know people of Clubnarc will not post ads. Cos advertisements are serious articles (they con you into buying things), while Clubnarc Blogs is purely for crapping purposes only.

Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot, I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent to blow up the King and the Parliament. Three score barrels of powder below, Poor old England to overthrow: By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match. Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

It was a nice trip we did today. We took a bum boat from Changi Point to Pengerang. The jetty complex is new, however, the ticketing system is rather retro. The boatman takes your name down and once he has a full boat, he leaves. Payment is to the boatman when you are on the boat. $7 for the person and an extra $2 for the bicycle. The boat ride took slightly longer than an hour. Nothing that seasoned divers like us can't handle.

It was super low tide when we arrived at the Pengerang Jetty, this needs to be noted for future trips otherwise, some simple manoeuvring might be required to load and unload the bikes. From Pengerang, it was about 17km to Sungei Rengit. Not wanting to break out momentum, we decided to pass Sg. Rengit by another 5km to clock up at least 20km. The terrain was pretty gradual with gentle ups and downs. No surprises. The head wind was not too pleasant though. Not very nice for mountain bikers... heh heh... The ride from Pengerang to Sg. Rengit, for me, was a trip down memory lane... along the way, you will have kids waving and shouting hello at the top their voice... this, have not changed for 5 years!

Once our target distance was completed, we headed to the fabled 'chee chiong fun' stall. It was 12pm when we arrived. No more 'chee cchiong fun'. Note: 'Chee chiong fun' sells out by 11.30am. We ended up eating the wanton mee. It was another 17km from Sg Rengit back to Pengerang. This is where the adventure begins. Here's how you chop seat on the return boat. Go the the uncle sitting near the custom and pass him your passports. He will take his time to fill your name onto the boat manifest. He then give you a number. All this will take about an hour, depending on the queue.

From here, it is about another hour of waiting before our boat arrives. Tips: Book the return trip with the boatman on the trip from Changi. This will guarantee minimal waiting time. Once you're on the boat, there is pretty much nothing to do for another hour or so. Good for catching up on the sleep that was deprived earlier on.

For us cyclist, pigging out in Sg. Rengit might not be a good suggestion. It may spoil the ride from Sg. Rengit to Pengerang so, it is better to save the tummy for seafood in Changi Village, and we do know of a good place. ;P|W|P| 114650298142382337|W|P| Biking Pengerang... via Changi Village|W|P| toadjuice@yahoo.com
