boing boing: i can never run from akicon

went out with daddy and sis today, to the singapore science centre.

dad was so sien we watched two imax movies at the omnitheater one after another and then spent the rest of the afternoon running around the science gallery. it's actually quite an interesting place. but i somehow feel randy won't be very happy with it. xp he probably wants me to spend my holidays visiting art galleries and museums and artsy things. whatever lah. hahaha. i will make it up. maybe dad wants to visit the museums also.

the first movie was called sea monsters, but i didn't like it that much. boring. i was merely impressed at the way the archeologists worked and how they could tell a story from a set of bones. fascinating.

the second movie was good. it was about climbing the eiger at the alps. man, one of those things i want to do (but will probably never do) is climb one of these gigantic snow covered monoliths. or climb a mountain, whatever.

the discipline required awes me.

will you believe it i can't run from deplazes even when out.

an autonomous alpine shelter, the monte rosa hut, switzerland.

designed by andrea deplazes and marcel baumgartner.

there was an alpine exhibition just outside the omnitheatre, and i was walking around when this gorgeous floor plan caught my eye. i was admiring the details when suddenly it dawned on me that the guy in the pic just next to the floorplan was the author of my latest 500 page textbook.

oh man, another pandemic?
