4th Birthday Celebration - Round 4 (Science Centre)

On my birthday, Daddy and Mummy brought me to the Science Centre in the morning. This was the second time I went to the Science Centre. My first trip was in Jun 09 (when I was 2.5 years old)

I was immediately fascinated by the huge mechanical display outside the Science Centre.

Once inside, all the exhibits looked greek to me ... looks like I would really appreciate the exhibits only when I go to Primary School. So that day, I kept moving from exhibit to exhibit without really looking much at them ...

Wow ... smoke coming out of the hole ....

I can hear my own echo !!! And I shouted "Happy Birthday Jing Ting" !!! Haha

We went outdoors to the Eco-Garden, and saw a huge iguana in a cage !!!

And a big treehouse !!!

Went back indoors and saw this Rice Art Rangoli (Indian floor art).

Can somebody save me ??? And Daddy made fun of me by pretending to walk away and leave me there .... :(

And the polar bears habitat ....

I wore the skiing shoes (so as not to damage the white balls) and went into the supposedly polar bear habitat

Astro Boy (aka Kuan Jing Ting) to the rescue !!!

And there was this machine which can show how people look like at different stages in life. So this is how Daddy look like when he gets old

Mummy's turn .... when she gets old

And this is how I look like when I turn into 姑娘十八一朵花. Looks a bit like Mummy, right ?

And when I grow much older into an old woman ....

We also went to the Dinosaur Exhibition. Paid $2 each, and we should have guessed that the exhibition hall is quite small. Luckily, since at 1130 hrs, there was some kid's activities, so it was not tat bad ... did some colouring and some moulding

Since we have yet to play at the Waterworks, we had lunch at the nearby MacDonalds before I went to the play area. Of course the play area was not as huge as that at the zoo, but it was definitely the most interesting 'exhibit' at the Science Centre .... haha

Deciding whether I want to get near the water

And after much deliberation, I went into the water

And see how the green ball floated on the water , using the water forces to stay in place ... this is what I would have called "Magic" !!!

Taking a shower ....

And then I started to pick up all the pink balls (as much as my little hands can hold), and refused to let go of them

Only when the sky started to turn dark, then I discarded all the pink balls and went to bathe. Looks like I still have not gotten sick of the colour pink ....

After my shower, we went to 爷爷 and 奶奶 place so that I can catch my afternoon nap. While Daddy and Mummy went back to the Science Centre to go to the CSI : The Experience Exhibit. Think most people were on vacation, so the place was a little crowded. Had to queue up to look at the crime scenes and lab specimens. But it was a pretty good experience. In fact, after the main exhibit, when Daddy and Mummy exited the hall, there was another 4th crime scene that they can solve. This is supposed to be a local competition and Daddy and Mummy had to go to the website to solve the mystery, ie. find out the killer. There were also quite a lot of other puzzles and interesting booths outside the main exhibition hall for people to solve. If Daddy and Mummy were not rushed for time (was close to dinner time), they would have stayed longer to look at the puzzles. Verdict : worth going !!!

After so much activities in the past few days, my birthday celebration ended .... and I am officially 4 years old !!! And in a few days time, I am going to start school, attending K1 !!! No more playtime, but real study already .... sob sob
