Of museums and rain

The night started with anticipation and ended with rain.

We had planned to go to the night festival to watch the performance + to go around the museums.
But while we are waiting for things to happen, i look up at the sky and see the red clouds forming in the night. Very quickly due to the rapid winds that were blowing at that time.

Only mange to catch the Daiko drums performance , which was kinda disappointing cause I was expecting a better performance from them. and after awhile, before the second performance starts, the rain started to pour on us, telling us to seek shelter. I guess the rain wants us to find food to eat. Had a very disgusting subway meal (Non-Gassy coke, lukewarm coffee, substandard bread, very few selections) at SMU.

After that , having nothing to do, we tried making our way into the museums and found them too packed to have a good time walking around and enjoying the scene. Anyway, its free after 5, that makes it a very good location for me for the next few free saturdays.

Leaving the crowded place, we went to Thomson Plaza's Starbucks and talk till the place close at 1plus in the morning. :)

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.
