Newfound love for MBS

Spent the afternoon and night time at MBS and loving every moment of it! The exhibitions were well worth the moolah (yes, even Andy Warhol!) and Titanic was, needless to say, awesome. I can't help but feel for the passengers throughout the exhibition. So many lives lost, such a fine majestic ship failed to carry them to safety.. And all the men and crew who will readily give up their lives for the women and children to get home safely. And then I wonder if this is still genetically in us today, the spirit of sacrificing oneself for your loved ones.

Skypark was really another awesome place and the wind was sooooo shiok. Scenery was tops and I was content to spend 1.5 hrs there just talking photos, looking at the scenery and randomly chatting. I am really proud of the little Singapore that has turned out the way she is today, no matter what others say. Took plenty of photos with my not so zai camera but let's face it, I can't handle a zai one anyway......... -_- leave the pro things to the pros, they say.

Late dinner, I suspect, took away my appetite and thus buffet was probably a very wrong choice yet for the experience, I think it was quite worth it!! Ended the day with the lightshow and walk and... Legs hurt now -_-

I honestly need to go to sleep since I've finished sorting the photos.

And oh, happy April Fool's Day! May you not be fooled!

Da Vinci - The Genius

Finally went to catch it on the last day of exhibition. The crowd was crazy.. Everyone was as last minute as us, and hence it resulted in a crazy crowd and an impossible queue. And because there were so many people, it probably took twice the time it did for us to walk through everything, because we practically had to queue up to see each exhibit.

I think he's a pretty awesome man, to dabble with everything from the arts, sciences, anatomy, astronomy, warfare, yada yada.. The exhibition seemed endless with all his creations, ideas, paintings. I know none of us probably can appreciate La Joconde properly, but still it was fascinating to watch all the detailed explanations and the breakdown of each an every part of the painting. Imagine they had an analysis for the sleeve of Mona Lisa. SLEEVE. -.-!!

I think we took more than 3 hrs to walk through the whole thing, skipping the near long hour video because we were all soooo tired from walking through the hall.

1:1.618 was encountered in Da Vinci Code already, but it was still fascinating to look at how it exactly works. The only thing I'm wondering is, how on earth did he measure up to the exact 1.618 ratio..? *shrugs.

Anyways, I'm quite glad that I went to the exhibition in the end.

what you see and think may not turn out to be what is seen and believed. argh.
