Fat Flat Mooncake PAAAARTY 2007!!

2007-09-30T14:50:00.000+01:00

The fat flat recently hosted the MCF mooncake party and the turnout was amazing! This is the biggest fat flat event to date, attended by a total of 39 people +-1.. There was loads of noise, fun, food, laughter and games. And although there wasn't much space to move around, everyone had loads of fun! Well, pictures speak a thousand words!

As you can see there were loads of people, loads of food, loads of mooncakes... More mooncakes than anyone could eat..

Although most people were having fun, there was still the odd singaporean that was bored...

And so we decided to spice things up with a game or two, we played taboo at first...

But this wasn't enough for some people, and so we played charades...

And then the night went on and people got tired and went home, the brave few that stayed past the 12a.m. point, 12 of us played more games... and when we got bored of taboo, charades, bang bang, and all other weird games, we played.. The KING's GAME!!!!!! Its too complicated to go into detail but there's a new king each round and the king's word is final and so we had many interesting events such as :-

Singing in 'harmony'...

There was even a moment of courtship...

Right now you must be wondering why Pui Li is in everything..... So am I.. lol.. but not for long, soon a charming 'couple' graced the dance floor with some hot moves...

The time now is nearing 2.00a.m., everyone's been king except for Syaz, and it's the final round... drum roll... Syaz is King! He goes mad with power!! and orders everyone into our tiny fat flat toilet.. 9 of us got in, getting a little crowded....

At this point our King was feeling left out(he's the one at the bottom left of the picture now), so he decided to join us in the toilet, so that makes 10!

But wait, there's more... who did we forget? that's right.. the picture below shows all 12 of us in the tiny fat flat toilet!! A feat that would not have been possible if 3 of the original fatties from the fat flat weren't still in Malaysia... ;-)

Well, after that everyone finally went home, I'd like to thank everyone that helped to clean up and thanks for coming once again! The next big fat flat event is rumoured to be in mid-october.. something along the lines of a triple celebration.. stay tuned for more updates!

Breaking News!!

‘Fat Geographic Magazine’ in cooperation with ‘The Daily Mail’ come together to bring you an exciting turn of events:-

Breaking News! –wildlife threatens peaceful Aberdeen folk

Wild animal sightings have been the talk of the town these past few weeks as numerous reports were filed by jaywalkers, housewives, beggars and people that walk around dressed in kilts. These sightings all report various wild animals around Aberdeen in urban and commercial areas. The local police representative maintains that everything is being done to get the situation under control. “The wildlife authorities have been informed and have a team working on the problem as we speak,” said one tall and friendly Aberdeen policeman. In recent reports however, the Forest Animals Residence and Transport Investigators in Northern Grampian, (FARTING) have updated us on the current whereabouts of these rogue beasts. One FARTING representative said that they have been localized currently to an area called Spring Gardens. The irony is that although the animals found a place that seems like home by the sound of it, there are no springs or gardens anywhere in the area! The investigator was also kind enough to divulge his findings so far in relation to the types of wildlife you might see if you’re in the area and what to expect due to their varying behaviours.

The monkYi, a beautiful species of gibbon found in some Southern Asian countries has been spotted. Loud and hyperactive, this short primate has been number one on the sightings list. The number of reported sightings is close to a hundred and some people are getting paranoid when they hear funny sounds of screeching and laughter that the monkYi may be close by. The monkYi is also a scavenger and will eat practically anything. It steals most of its food and has ravaged a lot of the takeaways on George Street. It is also attracted to music and activity and has been spotted a number of times in the various local night clubs. If you happen to encounter the monkYi, FARTING advices the use of caution and avoidance. It may follow you and pretend to be cute, but be vary and do not feed it. If by any chance it does get a hold of some food, leave the food and do not fight, for it can get fierce when confronted. However, if the monkYi gets a hold of any form of chocolate (propelling it into a hyperactive rage), call 911 immediately.

Another animal, the Shallabee, was seen as well. Essentially a species of small kangaroo, the Shallabee has only been spotted twice, driving some to dismiss this creature as being a myth. Researchers say that the rarity of sightings is due to the fact that this animal is a solitary one and is accustomed to hiding out in bushes and other concealed places. Considerably quiet and shy, this animal is known to be one of the most silent creatures of the animal kingdom and the opposite of the monkYi. Originally found in Australia, scientists believe the intention of the Shallabee is to go home, making it unbelievable that the creature ended up in Aberdeen. Eating habits include leaves, grass, anything green found in the forest making it a pure herbivore. On the rare occasion that investigators have spotted the Shallabee, they have also seen the monkYi and another animal, the Slotheline in its company. Interestingly enough, the Shallabee was found to be noisy and have an elevated activity level in the company of these other creatures.

The Slotheline that was just mentioned is also rarely seen, but still more so than the Shallabee. Unlike the Shallabee, the rare sightings of the Slotheline are because of reasons relating to its name. Being the most somnolent species of mammal, this rare species of sloth sleeps 18-20 hours a day. FARTING investigators are stunned as this animal has never been seen outside the confines of south and Central America. Another distinguishing fact about the Slotheline is that it moves extremely slowly, ground speeds average at 1 foot a minute and in confrontation with predators like the Herbear its maximum ground speed can reach 5 feet a minute. If by any chance you encounter the Slotheline, it will probably be during the night as it is almost completely a nocturnal being. FARTING investigators once again say be cautious because the monkYi or Shallabee might be close by.

On a more dangerous note, the Herbear was seen around the spring garden area as well. Bears generally lead solitary lives and the Herbear is no exception. It keeps to itself and goes out hunting once in a while. These sightings have alarmed investigators for the Herbear can cause major injuries and harm or even death. The Herbear has a brief courtship period and although it has been known to take up to seven female ‘wives’, it will still stay in solitude unless it has a good reason to come out. The Herbear has a ferocious appetite and unlike the Shallabee is mainly carnivorous. It has been known to consume up to five times its body weight in meat. Easily angered by noise, the Herbear has been seen chasing smaller animals and unfortunate Aberdeen civilians that happen to wander too close. The investigator related one series of events he witnessed where the Shallabee, monkYi and Slotheline were chattering noisily outside the Herbear’s cave. Having been asleep, the Herbear awoke and chased them all away. On other occasions, these creatures have been seen to flee at the sight (or sound) of the nearing Herbear.

Lastly, there also have been reports of a certain species of wild mule wandering about the area. The Samule is known to be an innocent but playful creature. Constantly bullied by animals like the monkYi, Shallabee and Slotheline, it gets along surprisingly well with the Herbear. Regularly seen with the monkYi, the Samule is constantly harassed and abused by the other wild creatures that roam the area. Holding no grudges and reacting surprisingly well to this torture, the Samule has quickly become a greatly loved animal among the locals and animals alike. Characteristic behaviour includes keeping things clean and tidy, preparing nice food (constantly stolen by the monkYi) and helping to carry heavy loads and plow fields. Investigators are confused as they have never seen a wild animal acting so domesticated before. The Samule has also been known to excrete pheromones in the air that attract the female of the species although reporters have only noted males in the area.

Latest reports have also shown that newer and potentially more dangerous species of animals have migrated into the area from remote parts of Asia. These include creatures like the Anitaconda, baBoonupottamus and the once thought to be extinct brown Thavasaurus Rex.

In light of this recent threat, authorities are recognizing the danger and have passed a law called the Forest Legislation Advocating the Termination of Unwanted Species (FLATUS). One local authority figure quoted, “Aberdeen locals can rest well for now that we have FLATUS, we will not hesitate in eliminating the eminent threat posed by these immigrant creatures.”

Women, explained..

2007-05-07T10:42:00.000+01:00

I’ve found a new maths formula on the net that explains everything!! Finally…

1. Well, firstly to find a woman, you need time and money (trust me)..

so, women = time x money

2. But we all know that time IS money,

so, time = money

3. And hence:

women = money x money or woman = money²

4. And we also know that money is the root of all problems:

so, money = √problems

5. In conclusion, replacing the values, we get

women = (√problems)² and, cancelling the common factors...

WOMEN = PROBLEMS

6. Now the distressing fact is we all know that the saying actually goes :-

money is the root of all EVIL.. but I won’t go there.. hihihi

I also found this interesting picture about a certain hazardous substance...

Ode to a Beloved Friend

2007-04-30T01:31:00.000+01:00

Tonight, the Fat Flat bids farewell to one of its most treasured members.

At the stroke of midnight, it was announced that Sam's Pan had met an untimely and abrupt demise under extremely suspicious circumstances. The cause of death was unknown.

In death, as in life, Pan was a faithful comrade, performing his duties with a dedication and diligence unrivalled by many. He was persevering in the heat of war, right until his last breath. A brave soldier, he died with the highest honour a soldier can possibly receive... Killed In Combat, on the battlefield.

Pan, born of good stock, arose to his illustrious career quite by accident. He was thrust into the limelight as the only soldier able to cope with the demands of the busy schedule his country required of him. From then on, Pan was a staple at every single battle, a familiar face at every single social occasion, and a trusted friend whom the Fat Flat was proud to call one of their own. Quiet and unassuming, Pan never took credit for himself, but was content to serve in his own humble capacity- always sacrificial, always loyal, always generous.

As of date of publication, there has not been found someone else to take his place. "He was irreplaceable," murmured one member with tears in her eyes. Similar expressions of sadness were heard among his other nearest and dearest. "He will be sorely missed," remarked another.

Coroners are still puzzling over his death under extremely suspicious circumstances. All members of the public with clues or information are encouraged to contact the Fat Flat.

A moment of silence will be observed tomorrow evening, with a memorial thereafter. Messages of condolence may be posted on this space.

In loving memory of a kind, good and noble friend. Dear Pan, may you rest in peace.

*** As with all mug shots, this does not do justice to his beauty and grace.

New Advances in Management of Yiweitis

Source: FF Medical Monthly

Scientists at the prestigious University of Nonsensica have recently presented a paper on new options for managing Yiweitis.

For years, researchers worldwide have been seeking a cure for this dreaded generalised inflammatory brain disease which is known to attack the neurons controlling socially appropriate behaviour. Yiweitis, discovered in the late 1990’s by renowned neurologist CLSK, is a disease of unknown etiology with occasionally fatal complications. Some symptoms include suppression of the satiety centre in the brain, loss of inhibition, hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder, as well as hypertrophy of the vocal cords. However, the most feared consequence of Yiweitis is the generalized severe dementia it ultimately causes.

Physicians had often prescribed Samnisolone, a potent steroid, to treat Yiweitis. Samnisolone was believed to work by reducing the oedema it caused in its victims’ brains. However, due to the myriad side-effects it caused, many patients had to discontinue therapy. Among other things, Samnisolone was responsible for psychopathy, schizophrenia and delusional perceptions. There was also a little-publicized study 2 years ago which insinuated that patients on Samnisolone also had excessive production of pheromones, which unsurprisingly had some devastating effects.

Recently, however, three new pharmacological treatments have been shown to be relatively successful in managing Yiweitis. The 3-drug regime, consisting of Shalfasalazine, Adethioprine and Herbica, have a synergistic effect on one another. Shalfasalazine, from the sulfa drug group, and Adethioprine, an immunosuppressant, work by dampening down inflammation, while Herbica, a synthetic auxin, is believed to have an effect on microorganisms linked to Yiweitis. (The discovery of these microorganisms will be addressed in another upcoming article.)

The regime is not without its own problems, however. Shalfasalazine, for example, causes appetite suppression and weight loss, while Adethioprine is well-documented to cause chronic fatigue and depression. Patients on Herbica, meanwhile, become socially withdrawn and develop an obsession with non-animate objects.

In answer to queries on the safety profiles of these new recommendations, lead researcher, Dr Obesiuses Lipidicosus, declares:

“It is easy enough to be an arm-chair critic. However, given that this is a multi-system disorder and notoriously difficult to eradicate, we have here a far from perfect but definitely acceptable drug combination. SAH (our acronym for the regime) has been tried on volunteers, and yielded exciting results!”

When asked on the role of Samnisolone in view of these breakthroughs, Dr Lipidicosus was less enthusiastic.

“Samnisolone has not proved itself during all these years, is all I can say. We do not deny, however, that it may still have an effect on other forms of inflammation,” he remarked grimly.

The horizon certainly looks bright for sufferers of Yiweitis. For more details and information, please contact the University of Nonsensica.

Adeline decides that it's about time the Fat Flat blog got a real post, since all that has been happening is nonsense chatterbox posts and two unsynchronised photo blog posts so far.

Unfortunately it has been a quiet few days. Apart from Anita's visits (which form the highlights of our evenings, haha) and discussions about Ruth and Sarah's upcoming Malaysian trip, we have been very demure and well-behaved medical students. STUDYING FOR FINALS!

Okay la okay, this post is quite insipid. What are you still doing reading it? Look to your right, where all the action is happening!

1. Yi Wei gets fought over by 3 anonymous posters. (Those Grrrrs are so scarrrrry.)
2. Sam's girlfriends (all 8 of them) and his mistress (this is a new one) have found out where he is living and decided to haunt him!
3. We discover that Herbert actually has a secret life away from DOTA.
4. And Shalini eats lettuce.

Oh no, this looks very incriminating. It would appear as if I'm the one who wrote all those posts, since nothing has been said about me!

HELLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm being framed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
