First week of hols!

I actually visited the museum!!
Haha! I think i deserve a pat on my shoulder for being so "cultured"!
Hm.. singing praises to myself..Abit bu yao lian..
Nah.. Actually i visited the Asian Civilisation Museum (ACM) for the Emperor KangXi Exhibition康熙盛世。I didn't know that NUS students are entitled free admission.. so that was a bonus! Haha..but poor dear had to fork out $8 for it.. Oops.. But cannot complain k.. I treated you lunch plus bubble tea!! haha..
The exhibits were fairly interesting.. But i was amazed by the length of the painting to describe KangXi's birthday celebration. It was actually 80m long and they only managed to display 10m. Whahaha.. And the painting skill was very fine i would say. "Ben even said he wanna steal it home" -_-'' I was also surprised to learn that they already had calculators, set square, ruler,arc etc at that point of time. But of course what we have today are the already very fine-tune versions. Generally apart from that I thought the rest was just okay..

Oh yea.. you get to tour the other exhibits displayed at the other parts of the museum too..





Haha.. that's about all!
Cheers!
