Experiment Butt

I remember the times I had in form 5, right before SPM. We were all so very naughty!

We talked, laughed, and just did everything except studied or paid attention to the teacher in class.

I miss those old times.

I was rummaging through my class' blog, looking for one particular post I posted nearly three years ago about an experiment we cheekily conducted on some of our classmates.

See the title of this post? Yup it was an experiment on butts!

For old times sake, I shall re-post the mind-blasting experiment we did and the amazing conclusions and discovery we made on that day :D

Experiment Butt

Aim : To investigate the relationship between butt size and gap of Suria’s chair and big metal box.
Hypothesis : The smaller the butt size, the easier it is to pass through gap. Size of butt is inversely proportional to the ability to pass through gap (Rise and Fall Law)
Variables : 1. Manipulated – Butt of subject X and Y
2. Responding – Ability to pass through gap
3. Fixed – Size of gap
Apparatus : Ruler, Suria’s chair, big metal box
Materials : Subject X and Y
Technique : Force Subjects to pass through the gaps sideways.

Diagram :



Procedure :
1. Suria’s chair is placed in front of the big metal box that is situated at the back of the class room.
2. The length of the gap between the box and Suria’s chair is measured using a 15cm ruler as shown in the diagram.
3. The length of the gap is 15cm and is kept constant throughout the experiment.
4. Subject X, which has a small butt, is force to pass through the gap.
5. The results are recorded.
6. The experiment is repeated with Subject Y who has a bigger butt than Subject X.
7. Results are then recorded. Both results from both sets of experiments are tabulated and inferences are made based on the results.

Precautions :
1. Do not overfeed the Subjects otherwise butt size will increase and will be unsuitable for experiment.
2. Suria’s chair must not be moved at all times no matter what.
3. An audience is necessary because the more people laugh, the more fun it is.
4. Do not take photo of Subject’s butt as it is considered as pornography to be posted on the internet and it is hazardous towards human eyes to look at people’s butt.

Results :
Experiment (subject) Results
X Can pass through
Y Cannot pass through

Discussion :
Subject X is able to pass through the 15cm gap because X has a smaller butt, so Subject has more space to pass through. Subject Y is unable to pass through the gap because Y has a bigger butt, which inhibits the space that is intentionally prepared for Subject to move through. The size of butt therefore influences the ability to pass through small gaps. This inference is based on the Rise and Fall Law, which was discovered by the Butt Prof. of 5A on 26 July 2007. The Law states that the size of butt is inversely proportional to the ability to pass through small gaps. The bigger the butt size, the lower the ability to pass through small gaps; and the smaller the butt size, the higher the ability to pass through small gaps. This thesis is supported by the formula :
2 times 2semicircle,
half radius times pie equals to ??? diameter ???
eventually equals to size of butt

This formula is formulated by Prof. Ah-Ng AnnAnn from AnnAnn Country.

Conclusion :
Size of butt is inversely proportional to the ability to pass through gaps. Hypothesis accepted.

Extra info and notes :
This experiment was conducted on a pure bored basis. The scientists were supposed to be paying attention in class and do their work quietly, but they felt that the understanding of Fictional Physics and Pure Fun and Laughter was more important. Materials were contributed willingly and no subject was harmed during the entire course of the experiment. Subjects were notified and awared that they were being experimented. All Subjects, scientists and bystanders were insanely laughing their heads off during the experiment. This experiment is Copyright Protected by the Panda/Walrus/Puppy of 5A.

Conducted by : Matahari, Panda, Suria, Taekwando Guy, Ah-Ng AnnAnn and Mr. Kho


Hahaha

Ahh, the silly nonsensical things we did in those days. Priceless :)

The End

Hello hello HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sorry I have not been updating this blog recently. Busy with exams. There are actually a few stuff that happened in December that I would like to post but did not have the time. Some other day I guess.

So last night we bid 2009 goodbye and say hello to 2010!

Man, isn't it scary how time flies so fast?

It is a new year, out with the old and in with the new!

But let us review 2009 shall we? It has been an awesome year. Hectic, but fun. Not to mention stressful as well. Stretched? More like dumped into the washing machine and spinning without the water on. Ouch...

Nevertheless, 2009 has been a rather good year, full of memories and amazing journeys. Last year I did the Big 8s of 2008, I now present to you the 9 big events (arranged in chronological order) that made 2009 a great year for me. Most of the things have been mentioned before in previous post, but I shall walk you all down memory lane together with me :)

1. I WON!!!!
Never in a million years did I expect to win the college book review competition (student category). I have never written a review before, so when Ms Hema forced encouraged us to join the competition, I thought, Hey why not. Just give it a shot.

I wrote a review on the book A Thousand Splendid Suns. Click to read!

The prize, RM500 and an Ipod Nano!



College banyak duit mah. Haha

But I am very grateful to the Lord for letting me win. There were two other people that can share the joy with me. Ms Hema won the review for the lecturer's category, and Yvonne came in second place in the student category.

Ms Sathya was so proud of us that she baked a cake for us!



For those who are fortunate enough to have the pleasure of trying one of her cakes, you and I both know that it is very VERY delicious!

2. Best Musical Ever
When Alep told me about the Puteri Gunung Ledang musical that he watched a few years ago, he really got me excited about it. All the more since they were performing in Istana Budaya again, making it their third season of doing that show.



I was even more excited when 7 of us bought tickets to watch the show! Half of us skipped class especially to watch the show, and the other half paid double taxi fare just to get to that place. But it was all worth it. Every single penny.

Our tickets were expensive. Rm80+, after student discount. For good seats what. Of course expensive. You get what you pay for.

The view was spectacular, and the show was superb. Even if it cost RM200, I tell you, it is worth it!

The main cast was amazing, and even the extras were brilliant. They really brought the show to live.





This is one show that I would not mind watching again.

I have watched a few other plays and musicals, but none can compare with PGL. Being able to watch PGL is a really big deal to me. No regrets whatsoever!



3. I am not a DIVA. I am just an actress/dancer
This is my second stint in acting. And also the first musical that I am in.

Love=tan90 came after a request from Ms Sathya that we do another play since we did really well in our small class play in September 2008. She was impressed with what we did and demanded that we do another play, big scale, in the auditorium and invite hundreds of people to come.



And so we worked on tan90 for months. Practised into the late nights, especially during fasting month.





There were a few conflicts among as, but it was something that we always managed to work out. It was a very stressful time for us. I even sprained my ankle, which added to the stress.

Nevertheless, everything turned out to be alright, and Love=tan90 was a hit. So much so that the other departments requested for an encore performance from us!

Acting and dancing were not the only things I did. I worked mostly behind the scenes and helped make everyone else look good. Haha I edited the music for the first sub-plot, became the behind the scenes paparazzi, and did the booklet for the play as well. I was rather surprised when Ms Hema passed me off as her co-director to her father.

We really had fun during practises, and even on stage. Just look at the crazy things that we do. Like little kids only.. Even the lecturers were shocked to see the way we behave. Ms Hema had a hard time explaining to them that we are always like that in class and by nature. She is immune to our insanity already. I suppose nothing can surprise her anymore. Haha





One of the most important thing about tan90 was not the fact that we put on a great show, or that our tickets sold out until the audience had to stand for two hours just to watch the play because there were not enough seats. It was the fact that it brought us all together as a family.

We started to bond during the first play in September, but tan90 really superglued the bond. It also did wonders for a few people's personality. From introverts to all time jokers. It really brought out the best in us.







4. Evil AS Exam
Suprise surprise.

Yes, the Cambridge exam was a very big deal to me. It did not really make the year amazing, but it definitely meant that I am halfway done with A-Levels. And yes I canNOT wait to finish!

While we were studying for the exams, I believe that most of us, including myself, went nuts. I mean, just look at these two...





Haha anything to kill boredom right?

But yea during that period we hogged the library and made a hell lot of noise. Haha very stressful, but it was fun.

One important thing that came out of the exam was that I got an A for Chemistry, something that was deemed impossible by Mr George. Haha I felt so glad to prove him and everyone else wrong! But, I have to say, all glory goes to God in the highest :)

5. We Graduated as Eagles!
Ever been to camp before?

I have been to a few, but I must say, Soaring The Eagle was by far the best camp ever.

STE was not just another fun play camp that Petronas put together for all the scholars. It was an amazing journey of self-discovery, and a lot of values were placed into our hearts. Not to mention the fact that we became close friends with the other scholars from Sunway, Taylors, Nottingham and UTP.

The program was also a close and personal way that we can get to know one another, see a different side of each other. And most importantly, learn to forgive. We also learn to speak our minds and stand up for what we believe in, and I did a whole lot of that even though I am actually a very shy person in nature.

No, really. I am shy! haha

The facilitators were really sweet and encouraging. They were very understanding and always willing to lend an ear. And the Indonesian workers working at Agrotek were very friendly as well. They made our stay a whole lot comfortable.

The classes that were conducted was serious business, but that does not mean that we can't have fun! The people there are insane! Which makes it all the more fun.







My group, PRIMAX



And we totally rocked! We emerged as the winner group in Group 2.

During STE, we learnt to step up to the plate and take on challenges despite our fear.

Mine, singing in front of everyone else.

When I first sang, it was HORRIJIBLE!!! I was so terrified! Haha and our three STE idol judges were not the least bit merciful when it came to the comments, except for Sarah acting as Paula Abdul.

Despite all that, I was chosen to represent Group 2 to compete again for the STE Idol during the final night. I lost out to Suzie dear. But I would never forget that moment.



I loved that experience not because I was chosen to sing, but because of the love and support my friends and groupmates showed me that night. It was just awesome.

I am very grateful to Petronas for organising this program for all of us. I wish I can turn back time and re-visit this moment.





I LOVE YOU. I FORGIVE YOU!

6. Proud to be a Sheep
I did a lot of stupid things in 2009, and I did a few smart things as well. Having said that, I have to say that one of the smartest things that I did was to join an SIB KL college zone cell.

Since Joshua was in Sheep United, I thought that I would just tag along. And so I did.

And I do not regret a single moment of it, even if it meant that I had to give up my Friday nights. Let me tell you about the cell.

Sheep United is whacked man!

Not only do we fellowship and meet every Friday, we do lots of other stuff together.

We celebrate each other



We watch musicals together



Have supper together



And play weird and funny ice-breaking games during cell!



Cell was also an opportunity for us to do things that we never thought that we would be doing. The Sheep played paintball and are climbing Mount KK in June this year.

Through cell, I had the opportunity to participate in the crazy Couzmazing Race and won second place together with Joshua, Andrew and Beatrice.



Lets not forget the most important part of cell. To grow and learn more about God :)

The people in cell are really wonderful and are like family to me. We can relate to one another and understand each other.

Allow me to introduce the crazy car gang.



We are crazy in the car.

Crazy in the cell.

Crazy in the arcade.

Crazy in Italianniese.

Crazy everywhere.

With extremely loud laughter from each of us.

We go to cell in one car every Friday night. Well used to. Now that Ronald is back in Kuching, Zoe and Woan Na have no means of transportation to cell anymore.

The cell is multiplying next month, but until then, I am going to enjoy every single moment together with the other sheep.



7. This is Our Night
Malam Kebudayaan Melayu has always been part and parcel of a scholar's life here in KDU.

But this year, the simple and small event turned into a big scale college event. It just spun right out of our hands.

I did not have my hand in organising it, but I was occupied with conducting the MKM choir. May I point out the fact that I have never been in a proper choir before, and that would be my first time conducting the choir!



I had the idea in hand, but I was still lost. But thank God there were a few people that gave me good advice and helped out alot.

Especially this guy.



Brandon is responsible for making the whole choir look good on stage. And they do.

The choir turned out really well. And I am so very proud of them all. This is one experience that I will never forget. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and further proves that you can do anything as long as you have the passion for it and if you set your mind to it.

The other performances went really well too. All in all, MKM was a huge success. All that time and money spent, was all worth it. We spent the whole day in college. Classes from 8, practises at 5 until 9-10.

Yes it was a very stressful moment as well. But again, it brought us all together. Including the juniors.







I think everyone can look back at MKM and be as proud of it as I am.

8. So I Ran
Never in a million years would I expect myself to participate in a marathon. I guess there is always a first time for everything.



I took part in Run For the Nation in October. We ran 5km and prayed along the way for Malaysia. I teamed up with Melody and Shin Yi, together with our manager, Joshua.



Not only did RunNat got me jogging before and after the run, it made alot of us realise how important it was to pray for the nation.

The typical mindset that most Malaysians have is that the country is going downhill due to unwise decisions made by the leaders, corruption, economic crisis and a long list of never-ending problems.

We are doomed. So they say. We so easily give up on this matter without remembering the fact that we have a chance to turn it all around. We can surrender all our issues into the hands of the Lord and miracles will happen.

A very powerful reminder.

RunNat is definitely something that I am proud to be a part of. They are running again in May, and there is a big chance that I am not going to miss the run. It is actually during my exams, but I hope that I can still participate it together with global day prayer.

9. Snuck Up On Me
I expected a lot of things to happen to me in 2009, but I never thought that something like this would happen to me.



I am happy.

Very happy.

I feel special now.

I want to make you feel special too because you are :)

******************

Ok folks. There you have it. The 9 biggest thing to hit me in 2009. Wait till the end of 2010, and I will give you the big 10.

Until then, smile people. Its a brand new year. Forget all your hurts and forgive those who offended you. You do not want to start the new year with a hating heart now do you?

God bless people :)

Let This Not Be Goodbye

18 months have gone by now. Funny how time just whizz by us when we are having fun.

When we first came to KDU, we did not know each other and did not know what to expect.

We had different timetables, stayed in different units in Sterling, had different interests, came from different places, had different backgrounds and beliefs. I think neither of us expected such a strong bond to be created between all of us.

The thing that started to bring us all together were the two plays we did in September for our English class.

Merchant of Venice, and Just My Lady.

At that time, it was really the only chance we had to get to know each other and come together. Tiring, but an incredible blessing in disguise.

From that point on, we started to do lots of things together. We embarked on a journey inside and outside of KDU, did and learned new things. From introverts, we became a bunch of crazy people that brought the word insanity to a whole new level.




We also did naughty things together.

Like taking a dip fully clothed into the swimming pool when it was pass 10pm, and throwing flour at birthday people until the lift area at 20th floor was covered with flour.


Studies, exams and relationships were hurdles that we all went through together.

Shoulders to cry on, a listening ear, sound advice. That was what we could find in each other during hard times.

We were not always together. But when we are, it was undeniable that memories were created.

New jokes arise, scandals created, pet names were given, and the incestuous family tree kept growing with a lot of new twists and turns.

18 months we were together...

Now we are parting ways. Four of them are leaving us. They have fought the fight, persevered through the rough weather and made it out alive.


Down under is where they will be in February.

Am I speaking too soon? I think not. I am sure that is where they will be. Playing with sheeps in New Zealand and jumping around with kangaroos in Australia is what they will be doing aside from studying.

Thank you all for the precious memories we had together.

I never really got a chance to know some of them. But it was during STE where we knew more about each other.


My ex-husband, Gratiano.

18 months and only on the last day did he know that I can speak mandarin!

He is a Twilight fan and is one of the smartest guys around.

Judge not this book by his cover, for he will surprise you! He has proven to be an all-rounder. Now an actor and a dancer, not forgetting one who speaks his mind.

Congrats Daniel for getting "Best in Malaysia" for your econs paper. Trust always in the Lord for I know that He will always continue to bless you.


Mak Maya

Always given the "garang" role in our play. From a judge in Venice to Maya's loving but stern mother who orders Abah to water the plants at night.

And do not just tremble in fear in the presence of great triple Z. She is not all that mean. Zan does have a kind heart that goes out to all her mates and is proven to be a loving and loveable person.

Photography is what she is into with that big camera of hers, consequently making her the photographer for our MKM.

Zan jangan stress. You have done your best, and I am sure you are going to make it!


Miss Paula Abdul!

My sweet little groupmate during STE. Yes, she is as sweet as she looks. The gastric incident during STE was no biggie dearie :)

I am not kidding when I say that she is an A+ student. Sarah is also one of the best and most ayu dancers in our group. And I can bet that she loves it a lot.

Remember my friend, smallpetite is cute, and cute meaning attractive especially by means of smallness or prettiness or quaintness. Just because we are small, it does not mean that we are not as good as anyone else or that we cannot be better than them in anyway.

Go kick ass in NZ :)


Suzie Muzie

Very very clumsy. Water bottle and calculator keeps slipping from her grip. And also quite blur at times. But the best part of it all, she is so sooo smart! The best science student among all of us scholars!

She makes further maths look so easy, not forgetting Physics and Chemistry as well. Despite being super smart, she is also full of humble pie and is very yummy to chew on. Hehehe

A great friend, especially when I feel like complaining about my studies. Not to mention the tallest girl in our batch, and is a year younger than the rest of us!

Suzie darling, thank you so much for being there for me. And for helping me in my studies. I know that you are going to make it! I look forward to working with you in Petronas in the future with you. Panda cake!

It is perfectly natural to meet and then part when the time comes.

We had a teary farewell, and I just could not let Suzie go that night.




Nipa cries when she sees other people crying as well....


We had our fun together. Now it is time for us to part.

But its not as though we will never see them again. They have promised to come back once in a while. And if all goes well, we will all be colleagues in the twin corns in KL.


Suzie feasting on her farewell cake

Cards to be signed with love

A farewell gift

A very cheesy meal

Muakxxxx

The best of friends

Altogether now

Squeezing in for this shot

We will miss you all

Till the next time we meet, I wish you the best my dear friends.

Love you loads.

God bless :)
