UMS Freescale Smart Car

Freescale smart car is the one of the competition that held year by year start from 2008. Freescale is the main sponsor for this activity. As a participant university we need to use the microprocessor to program the smart car which provided by Freescale as well. This Freescale smart car is already been competited by Korea, China and other countries since long long ago but at the year 2008 is the first time Malaysia have this competition. Since it was the first time and it is new for every university in Malaysia, throughout the good idea and good control system for our smart car, University Malaysia Sabah was the champion. Below is the video for our champion team.



For year the 2009 due to semiconductor down turn. This competition had stopped for one year. At the year 2010, the standard for other universities are improved a lot compare to the first time and more universities in Malaysia were start to participate. However, UMS was never stopped to improve ourselves by putting LED light in front of the smart car to make the line clear and the camera of our car is easier to sense for the line. Of course some new control system is putting at our programming as well. Due to our effort for these, we are the second time to be the champion for this competition. Plus we are the second runner up for this competition as well.



For the year 2011, I don't know what happen to our UMS team. UMS get nothing for this competition. The champion is UTM KL. What happen to my juniors at UMS ? Hopefully we are able to wake at the 2012 freescale smart car competition !!!

Tip of Borneo at Tanjung Simpang Mengayau, Kudat

Tanjung Simpang Mengayau also known as the Tip of Borneo is located 40 kilometres to the northwest of Kudat town. The journey will pass through mostly coconut plantations and remote villages such as Kg Sin San, Kg Tajau, Kg Pinangsoo, Kg Loro and Kg Tiga Papan before finally arriving at Tanjung Simpang Mengayau. Note that the road from Kudat is partially unpaved, and judging from the way things are, it will take some times before the current road resurfacing project to fully complete. Just get ready for some bumpy and unpleasant rides on the gravel road.

In general, Kudat is located some 3 hours to the north of Kota Kinabalu. It is best to rent a car from Kota Kinabalu for a self-drive tour to Kudat and its vicinity. Otherwise the only option to get to various tourist attraction in Kudat is by chartered tours which are not exactly economical and does not offer travel flexibility. Photo above shown the location of Tips of Borneo which I pointed on... can you see clearly?

All my coursemates are in this trip which we enjoy very much. Photo above shown we taking the photo together with one fat fat "ang moh" !!

Everybody shown their action in the photo. Smile.....

One of the special things in the Tips of Borneo is the "Tong Sampah" at there. It look so cute and beautiful ......

The scenery of the Tip Of Borneo.... It looks so nice and wonderful.. I love it so much....

The nicest photo that I am taken in Tips of Borneo....

I wish to end my post with this wonderful photo from my coursemates. They already exhausted taking the photo and playing around. It will to be my unforgettable memory in the future.

Cheah Cheah is acting cute now. She is famous in our course because our course only have 2 chinese girls and she is one of the pretty girl in our course.

The most in font people is our coursemate, Allan Tam. What is he doing? Oh my god, this is not a dancing event. He is dancing in front of us to get attractions. Dancing King is a good name for Allan Tam?

Everybody is pointing to our magician coursemate, mohd elias. Maybe he is the most famous people in our course.
Everybody is enjoying taking the photo.

What is red rectangle that i drawn ? Actually that guy is Lemon + Photo + Dota King and even he is our top student in our course. He is always prepared to help others and even prepare to give us his assignment to let us copy.haha ..... !! But what he do for that guy? Maybe he dislikes the guy because that guy also another top student in our course.

The top red arrow is Mun Bin. He is comparing the height with Xin Wei. Who is the taller do you think? The below arrow is Alex Sim. He is acting cool. I really cannot stand with his pose! Do you agee with me?
