Fists!

Visited the Science Centre today for the Da Vinci exhibition and the Van Gogh Imax movie. Though I liked the breadth and details of how they shot the scenaries and Van Gogh's masterpieces, I must say the production is quite cheesy, with "Van Gogh" referring to Peter Knapp, the director, as "this is my friend"...

The Da Vinci exhibition costs $15 per pax, which I felt is a bit pricey, but it's quite comprehensive and interactive, as you get to "play" with some of Da Vinci's inventions. There is extensive coverage on the famous Mona Lisa painting, the Vitruvian Man, as well as The Last Supper. Do cater for at least 2 hours there as there is just so much to see (well, actually a lot of reading required)! Pity we didn't have enough time.

The Science Centre itself is quite a fun place to spend your time. You can go to every exhibit and press on the button(s), see what happens and learn the science behind it (if you can remember all the information).

If you wanna replicate our itinerary, it will set you back $24 per pax. Else, $16 (per pax) can get you through Da Vinci + Science Centre. The Science Centre is open 10am-6pm, so do go early for a fruitful day there.

I just wish they will stop this stamping for re-entry thingy. Took me much scrubbing to get all the ink out!

Camera Magnets

Shutterbugs they are not, though they do take lots of photos. The camera magnets just like to photograph themselves.

Thanks for contributing to my Project APAD! It helps me to keep it going... Haha!
