Week 6 : Visit to PetroSains and Aquaria

This was my first time went to PetroSains and Aquaria. We entered to PetroSains around 12pm at KLCC. Well, the environment inside is really what I expected earlier, but the thing I didn't expect is, there were a lot of school kids in the place too, and we have to wait our turns to go to the next gallery, which is troublesome because we have to gather at Aquaria around 3pm (Of course we can't make it on time because of the people inside).

Well, the first thing I found it interesting in the PetroSains is the heat tracking camera, which can track our body temperature and heat, white and red appeared to be the hottest area in our body, and blue appeared to be the coldest. I guess this is the technology they use to track people body temperature to check whether a person is fever or not? Beside this, the helicopter simulator is a little bit disappointed because I was expecting something fun and not like a walk through, it can't really give a immersion that we are in a helicopter. Somehow, we really don't have enough time in the PetroSains because there were too many people inside. Same as in Aquaria, we only have an hour to walk around in the Aquaria (actually considered enough) because its not so big, I went to similar place like this in Hong Kong long time ago, and It didn't make any difference compare to the one at Hong Kong (maybe I'm still very young that time).

Week 5

Ahh, what a busy week! Tons of assignments and works.

We visited to National Science Centre on Tuesday for Interaction Studies class. Well, the place didn't looks like what I was expected, and felt a little bit boring since the place is not crowded, and some of the interesting objects are not operating, and we going to do a case study as the assignment for Interaction Studies. Next week

Oh well, wednesday Experiential Studies class was quite long compared to the previous classes, cause we are given a lecture about Disney by the Dean Dr Harold. We also watched a documentary on Disney, and finally I knew what actually Disneyland is. I was disappointed when I was at California 6 years ago but unable to visit to Disneyland which I really wanted to go to since I was a kid. After watching the video Dr Harold showed in the class, I became more desperate and hope I am able to visit to Disneyland in the next few years, doesn't matter where it would be.

Next Wednesday we will be going to Aquaria and PetroScience, hope it will be a good experience for us, not like when we visited to IMAX at Time Square few weeks ago.

Week 4
Hmm, this week is a little bit busy for me since we have tons of assignments due next week, but its not difficult. We have a case study assignment which we need to explain about the interactions and space in National Museum. Actually that was my first time went to National Museum, but when I'm thinking of "OH We came here for assignment, not just for fun"...... but I never felt boring when I was there, since there are a lot of exhibition galleries. The one I remembered the most was the Coffin exhibition. In the exhibition there were a lot of coffins from different cultures, some coffins were a little bit scary....
