Of Mona Lisa and The Science Centre

Mona Lisa is a 16th century portrait painted by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. Currently owned by France and placed in the Louvre in Paris. I saw Mona Lisa today. not the actual painting but a replica of course.

For those that who doesn't know, Mona Lisa is painted using a method called "sfumato" . Looking up close at the Mona Lisa, I see intricate details of the painting. What is she thinking during that time? I wonder. Guess this would always be a mystery to the world after. For those who wants to know more about Leonardo Da Vinci, Do go to the science centre to view the exibit.

And the Science centre... Its somewhat different, but still similar in some sense. Alot of new things but theres also alot of old stuffs. Those who remember the tesla coil, and the smoke machine, its still there. New things such as robotics, genes, maths were being displayed.

And on a side note, I cannot believe that the science centre has so many visitors as compared to the SDC. I have to queue for some time to get the tickets and there is not one, but 3 ticketing booths to choose from.

Saturday at SGX

It has been a long time since I wake up in the early morning just to go to the CBD area for either work or event. This time, i went to SGX to attend a special event organised by SGX. They had speakers coming from the industry talking about being brokers, remisiers , or pro-traders(locals).

I was intrigue by this 2 pro-traders who come from the industry. One is the top trader. the other is one who has a very high profile in trader. both are current traders and are not like the other educators who teach newbies, ( those being ex-traders ). Alot of learning experience to be gained from them and I am sure glad i made this choice to wake up and go to SGX this sat. Something that gave me a shock is the amount that they are playing with. Everyday its throwing 1 car in and out of the trades. So pro. 6 figures almost every time they trade. I aspire to be like them and be even better !
