Singapore Science Centre

Saturday morning we decided to go to the Singapore Science Centre. None of us had been there before. We were quite impressed! There were so many exhibits!

The pictures show a bit of our visit at the center. Brandon tested out the Magical Mirror. He was transformed into a cowboy, a princess, and a pirate. We were also intrigued and amused by the exhibit relating to viruses. A large portion of this exhibit was related to SARS. Scary viruses!

Mommy was especially pleased to see the Mathematics - Everywhere and Everyday exhibit. We didn't get a chance to look through all of this exhibit because we didn't see it until the end of our visit. Very cool though. Just enough time for Mommy and Brandon to take turns being Mr. Maths Universe. Go Mathletes!

We also spent time in the special Pixar exhibit that was currently at the museum. This exhibit showed how their computer animation movies are made from start to finish. It displayed many of the original models and concept drawings from different Pixar movies, such as Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, and Toy Story. Neat exhibit. So much work goes into making one of these movies, even before the computer is ever used! Amazing.

Brandon loved seeing some of the fish from Finding Nemo. "Ish, ish, ish!"

There is a water play area for children at the museum. We took a swim diaper for Brandon and intended to let him play, but we ran out of time! Brandon was so wiped out that he fell asleep on Daddy in the cab on the way home. So sweet.

This evening, we walked to the Orchard Ion and grabbed some dinner at the food court. Then, we spent some time walking down Orchard Road. We bought a Singapore 2010 Youth Summer Olympics mug and had some local artists paint our pictures on it. A fun keepsake.

Lately, Brandon has really been into puzzles. He loves putting the pieces in and taking them out. He also loves sorting shapes, especially the animals on his Noah's Ark shape sorter. Brandon is learning much about frustration when he plays now. Things don't always come easy. Maybe soon he will learn a little about patience too. :)
