paper weight



It's been like 6 years? uh huh that long since i last stepped into the Science Centre, or at least i think it was that long since i have zero recollection of any trips during sec school. We got the combo with the IMAX Movie, Bodyworlds and Science centre pass and stayed till closing. Went to every single exhibit tried every thing there was to try and had a hell lot of fun.



Bodyworlds was amazing, it's quite a waste for those who missed it. It's just wow, one plastinane body takes 1500 hours and approx 1 year to make and that's for a human. There was a GIRAFFE in the exhibit, imagine how long that took. I think the exhibit that amazed me and baby the most of this basketballer, the body was totally thrown off cg and the only part in contact with the floor was the front sole. Plus there was no other hanging support i scanned 360 degrees of the entire case, and nope nothing at all. It was fascinating, seeing real organs on display, several which have gone through diseases of sorts and it's a whole lot more intriguing than words on books. Plus the lovely quotes on the walls everywhere spreading the love of your body, putting across the fact of the wonders of the body and simple food for thought (:


" It's not counting the years that matter, it's making the years count"



" Growing old is a matter of mind over matter, if you don't mind, it doesnt matter"



and something that went along the lines of
" You only truely start aging when you stop learning. It's a young mind that matters"





The IMAX movie was awesome, i loved every single bit of it. It was like heading to underwater world all over again just that there's so much more to it. The narrator was witty yet matter of fact and having a 2 storey high half sperical screen blow up the images just made me feel like i was right there in the water, imagine it in HD mmhmmm. Marine life is just amazing and feels insanely ethereal to me, thinking of renovating the room , something small scale though and very much underwater-ish.



Then after all that we went to watch Dear John, heart rending and tear jerking but it wasn't as sad as i imagined. But it was still a good movie, the way they whole thing was done. I'm gonna read the book, it's been long since i picked up a new book and read one. It's just been the newspaper, online sites, magazines or rereading my old books. And the soundtrack is awesome :> got quite a few songs up on my mixpod.
