A Little Bit Of Space

Aloha, Shikubi here, I am now going to take you on a trip throughout the infinite universe. Share your thoughts with me and go ahead and correct my mistakes.

LETS GO!

For many centuries, mankind has been wondering about the universe. How big was it, how was it like, how many stars it has. Well today, modern science has helped us solve a few of this unanswered questions. Space is known as the final frontier and I am one of those who are passionate about this subject. The universe is 93 BILLION LIGHT YEARS LARGE and it is constantly expanding at the rate of 74.3 plus or minus 2.1 kilometers (46.2 plus or minus 1.3 miles) per second per megaparsec (a megaparsec is roughly 3 million light-years). If those numbers are a little too much to contemplate, rest assured that's really, really fast. Even the gadgets we know nowadays can't keep up with that kind of speed.


Lets just start from our own solar system. There is the Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (*Dwarf Planet).


The Distance Between Earth And Those Planets:

1. Mercury : 91,691,000 KM / 56,974,146 Miles
2. Venus : 41,400,000 KM / 25,724,767 Miles
3. Earth : 0 KM / 0 Miles
4. Mars : 78,340,000 KM / 48,678,219 Miles
5. Jupiter : 48,678,219 KM / 390,674,710 Miles
6. Saturn : 1,275,000,000 KM / 792,248,270 Miles
7. Uranus : 2,723,950,000 KM / 1,692,662,530 Miles
8. Neptune : 4,351,400,000 KM / 2,703,959,960 Miles
9. Pluto : 7,500,000,000 KM / 4,670,000,000 Miles


Join me next few weeks to find out more about each of this individual planets and some extra knowledge of the universe. Tune in for more, hope to see you soon!

"SOMEWHERE,SOMETHING INCREDIBLE IS WAITING TO BE KNOWN!"

Punny Sunday

Here are a few puns for today:

1. I wonder why was the ball getting bigger. Then it hit me.

2. Have you heard of the guy who got hit by the can of soda. Luckily it was a soft drink.

3. My friend's bakery was on fire yesterday. Now his business is toast.

4. Have you tried to eat a clock, it is really time consuming.

5. During war, lots of Williams died because all of their leaders gave the order, "fire at will"

6. I forgot what was a boomerang, it eventually came back to me.

7. Writing with a broken pencil is pointless.

8. One day, an old lady ran out of fuel and asked a man to help her figure out what was the problem. He eventually told her she ran out of fuel but she did not believe him because she though the "F" and the "E" on the car's dashboard was "Finished" and "Enough"

9. What did mother cannibal said to her kid when he was playing with his friend, "STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD!"

10. What did the  cobbler said to the criminal, "I have to fix your sole"

*If you do not get it, read it again, if not go ask your friends.

An Amazing And Fun Day

Yo, Shikubi is here and I am gonna tell you a bit more about our trip from my point of view.

First, we started our trip from school and traveled for about an hour. It was already 9.30 when we reached our destination and since we saw a chocolate gallery nearby so we decided to do a quick detour. You wouldn't believed how much effort we took to take a simple picture of  a chocolate model of a dragon just because of the reflection that was preventing us from taking a nice picture.

(From left, Pakalu Chapati, Shikubi, Banapal and Mama Papito)

(Sorry for the terrible pics!)

After 30 minutes or so, we walked back to the batik factory and waited for our friends that got left behind because of their lion dance performance. When they arrived, we hurried and started our tour around the batik factory. I thrilled by the way the workers done their work, they had perfect control of their hand. They didn't wobble around and was so precise with their work, I was stunned when I realize they drawing from their imagination and wasn't using any pictures or sketches. After getting to see the process of making batik, we got to do it ourselves but it was definitely easier as they had a few pictures for us to trace. It was a nice experience for us.

(Pfft! The workers helped us A LOT!!)

Next, we traveled to the aquarium where we had lunch. There was a tunnel connecting both the aquarium and the Kuala Lumpur City Center so there was a few students who went there but most of us were......ummm.......less adventurous and ate lunch nearby. Well blame us for not being adventurous because those few who went to the city center got themselves a treat, they brought back ice creams, candy, waffles and lots more of goodies while we few watch and suffer. Banapal was one of those lucky ones who came back with ice cream, WOOO how mad I was with him for not inviting me to go with him, instead he left me back in the food court with his freaking black and tiny bag which he conveniently forget to bring along with him.

We had to meet up in front of the aquarium at 1:15 p.m. because we wanted to catch the main feeding show at 3. First, we saw small fishes then some shellfish, then we saw a few cute otters that we few were making fun of. The most amazing part of the aquarium was the underwater transparent tunnel, it was heaven and yet scary because I felt like i was gonna die because of the sharks, stingray, large fishes and also the fake skeletons in the fish tank. When we were taking pictures in the tank, I almost had a heart attack when I lifted up my head and saw the bottom of the stingray, whew lucky i quickly got myself back together before having to change a new pair of pants. We got to see the main show which was the feeding of the sharks, there was a long wait for the show to start so Banapal and I started to listen to some awesome music while mama papito and pakalu chat. The wait was long and unbearable but luckily the show started. There were two divers with two buckets of dead fish. During the show, there was a few close calls as the sharks went close to the divers but luckily the divers surprisingly managed to survive in the tank under the guidance of the three workers outside the tank. The show turned funny when a turtle peek inside the bucket and took a dead fish out and it took the two divers a minute to realize that. Then turtle tried to steal the show from the sharks by swimming up and down in front of the audience. I told Banapal that WHAT IF...we were the main show to the fishes rather than the fishes were the main show to us.

(PIRANHAS!!!)

Finally, our class teacher hurried us out before the show even end so we could reach school on time to go back. Today was an amazing day so i decided to share it with you readers, the pictures are already in our blog. Thank you for reading.

Finished doing the Art, we went to the Aquaria in KLCC, LOOOK AT THIS CUTE TURTLE!!

We saw a tank full of carnivorous fish

We also observed the movements and lifestyle of the aquatic creatures all around us, separated with a just a thin layer of glass It was truly magnificent

I’m like the guy name two-faced from the batman because i have two different personality from time to time. When i’m in a comfortable place like near my friends, i would be the funny and talkative type of guy(you probably won’t notice this). But when i’m in class, i would be the silent, focus and non-participating type of guy which might lead to lazy :P.I will be one of the 4 members updating this blog and we welcome you with our open hands. (sorry for bad English I crai evertiem)

Shikubi's Intro:

My name is Richard and I’m fourteen. You can consider me a ‘joker’ of my class and I will be updating this blog as Shikubi. Although I make most of my classmates laugh. I have an elder brother at the age of 30 and a sister that is working in Australia. I am a lucky child which have both parents that are still alive living under the same roof with me. I am also really lucky to be studying in a proper school that I will not reveal because of security purposes.

Now for my fun side, I am anime fan that mostly watches ‘Naruto’ and I know most of the population in the world will think this is childish but no, no it’s not. I can be real crazy at times for example after lunch or at the end of school, you wouldn’t want to be close to me of I am crazy. I LOVE doing nothing and relaxing. The weirdest thing I have ever heard was a unisex toilet, A FREAKING UNISEX TOILET. My favourite channel is AXN and my favourite show is CSI: Cyber. Before I end this introduction I would like to give you a warm welcome to our blog.

Mama's Intro:

My name is Tian Jun. All boys call me Tian. Most girls call me TJ. Some teachers call me by my full name and my literature teacher calls me by my brother’s name. I am currently 14 years old. It has been a blast throughout my secondary life so far and I have met many people who ‘changed’ me. People such as the guy who posted above me, the two guys who posted before him and many others have made me part of who I am now.

I play the percussion drums and I am a former tuba player for the school band. My music variety could range from a pop song to hardcore progressive metal. Japanese rock music, Korean pop songs and English songs like Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade are all included in my playlist too. As for video games, I play DOTA with my friends.
