Journey to the West (25/Jul/09)

Spent 3/4 of my Sat at the west.
My sis and I decided to go to the Da Vinci Exhibition at Singapore Science Centre.
We went to Jurong Point 1st for lunch.

BentoBox:
cheap food, but not really fantastic, I find the food too salty for me.

2 dishes set (only $9.90)

my sis ordered the teriyaki and salmon set

3 dishes set (only $12.90)

pork cutlet, fried chicken

and grilled salmon

we also ordered gyoza as side dish


Then it's off to Science Centre!!

I have only been to Science Centre once when I was in primary school.

We went to the Omini Theatre 1st for the Van Gogh documentary.

We were lucky that they were showing this as Van Gogh is one of my sis's favourite artist.
And due to her influence, I have learn to appreciate his paintings.

The paintings that are being displayed outside the Omini Theatre:

my favourite Van Gogh painting : Starry Starry Night

I think the song "Starry Starry Night" was inspired by this painting.

also on display was part of the room of Van Gogh

The left side is the display and the right side is the painting that he did on his room

The mini documentary was about 40 mins and

I've learnt more about Van Gogh's life and his painting.

Next we head down to the Da Vinci Exhibition.

We spent almost 2 hours plus inside the exhibition until the closing time: 6pm.

The exhibition area is not really big, but there were lots of things to see.

Too bad we were unable to take any photographs inside the exhibition.


After the exhibition, my understanding of Da Vinci is not limited to

"Mona Lisa", "The Last Supper", "Virgin of the rock" and "The Vitruvian Man".

I have learnt why he is called "The greatest Genius of all times".

He is not only an artist,

he is also an engineer, scientist, mathematician,

inventor, anatomist, sculptor, architect and more.

In the exhibition, I have also know more on the mysteries

of "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper".

And I have also learnt more of Da Vinci's works and inventor.

He is truly a genius.

After the exhibition, we decided to go Orchard to check out Ion.

But 1st, we had our break at "Mr Teh Tarik" at Tiong Bahru.

of course we had to order the Teh Tarik

my egg, onion prata
