GENIUS WHO??

1 Wk

Sat, the 7th. And yet again we went to another engagement ceremony. This time it was held at W’lands. It’s a good sign that people got engaged and literally will get married and the next thing we will be having more good generations. Personally I’m unsure if it is genius to have a grand engagement celebration. Imagine the time, $$, energy consumed for the preparation of food, gifts, list of guest, decorations and the list goes on…it’s pretty taxing physically and mentally, i guess. And not forgetting next will be another preparation for the grand wedding. However, in spite of all these, I just hope it will turn out to be a good deed instead of burden....by the way it's up to every individuals ;+

As planned, the next day we went to the Science Centre. In order to avoid the crowd we went there early. Kiddy has been requesting to go to the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition. It’s an exhibition that’s been termed as inspirational. "Da Vinci — The Genius" exhibition is based on the works of the great Italian Leonardo da Vinci. The exhibition, showcases Machine Inventions, presentation on the Life & Times of Leonardo da Vinci as well as the famous Secrets of the Mona Lisa painting and many more...To bad we were not allow to take any photo inside the exhibition..."rugi seh bayar mahal2 tak dapat ambil gambar". After the exhibition, we just followed the two little feet, where or whatever he wanted to go. For 6 hrs we were filled with discovery, wonder, adventure and fun. Yup, you’ve read that right. FUN! The real genius...obviously the ONE UP THERE!! but frankly i'm really astonish with Da Vinci works everthing is awesome!!

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was an Italian polymath, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the renaissance man, a man whose unquenchable curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention.[1] He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.
