The Climbing Einstein


Anyone who has been to Singapore Science Centre would have noticed the cute, dusty Einstein. Anyway, the Little Einsteins in the movie ‘Night In the Museum’ are more adorable hehe!


We took a bus there and I couldn’t help noticing that uniforms impose a respectable authority in Singapore, be it immigration officers or bus drivers, or even LRT conductors. Those in uniforms are strict, at the same time they are polite and very courteous. At SIA, the whole stretch of immigration counter looks majestic! And the uniforms make them look even more formidable. I held out my passport and I got an obligatory smile and nod, and two energetic “THUD THUD” on the documents! In contrary, the Malaysian Customs in uniform show you their buLLDog faces, looking over your passport with near boredom! Why do I even bother smiling that time?

No No...those bulldogs aint as cute as these two adoooooorable creatures *MMWAH* :)

Back to science centre. It is something like PetroScience in KLCC but cheaper. It is only $9 per entrance. As usual, the design of a science centre is children-friendly and you could hear PONG BONG CLANK TING TIANG aHHHH MOMMYYYY at every corner, instead of silent reading and occasional soft clutter of scientific models to satisfy the curious mind and hands. At the other side, there was an on-going CSI Experience where you have to pay another $20 to go in. There were a total of 4 crime scenes mimicked according to real cases and we were required to solve them. The whole experience was more for early teens, but mommy and daddy who are always a good sport tagged along, joining the packed sardine crowd with the DNA strips and touch screens data. This is one of the report that we have to complete at the end of every investigation.

The whole trip in Singapore was an incredible journey, will look forward to more trips down South next time round! ;) Or maybe across the South China Sea, into the wonders of beautiful salt foundations! *grinning*
