I am at Level 9 now for Diner Dash Retro Restaurant oh lawdy!!!
SEE HERE I AM CHOOSING MY LIGHTS
I played the same bloody Level 7 for days ok trying to get past it but I couldn’t T_____T I think I had the most problem matching customers with the same colored seats do you know what I mean?!?!?
So I’m now at Level 9 of Retro I can’t wait to see what restaurant comes next!
/geek mode off
Ok Diner Dash not withstanding, I actually had a very cultured and sophisticated weekend.
Guess where we are.
National Science Museum. wtf.
/geek mode on again
(you know a word I can never spell is museum T__T I ALWAYS get it wrong and Spell Check has to tell me I’m screwing it up again)
Funny mirrors! Fat Her is behind me.
…and that is not my mother ok that is some stranger woman my mother is prettier than that *snob
Us again! HAHA Tim’s posture hahahahah
Anyway we were at the Science Musuem Museum to see the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition!
Very very cool! They plotted his life against the ongoing events of European history as we know it now. I just thought it was nice to see all the major events I’ve read about fall into place together /shy
Anyway check this out.
This guy (forgot his name) took a 2.4 million pixel camera and did a photo analysis of the Mona Lisa.
(ok just googled it his name is Pascal Cotte)
And he found out all kinds of new stuff.
Like how the picture above is actually supposed to be the real colors of the Mona Lisa.
Da Vinci was apparently well known for his use of soft bright colors so people always wondered why he painted the Mona Lisa in shades of ochre.
Well it’s because the colors faded WTF.
The mountains are blue because Da Vinci always painted all his mountains blue.
And Mona Lisa doesn’t have straight dark hair with a middle parting (like a flower power hippie wtf) as I’d always thought but when they did the photo analysis it’s really obvious that she had brown curly hair but was also wearing a veil on top!
And Da Vinci apparently used some newfangled painting technique so that he was able to paint transparent things like her sheer veil and the lace on the collar of her dress.
Oh and did you know that he never considered Mona Lisa finished and for dunno how many years he carried her around with him continuously to work on her until he died.
Okok one last nugget.
People questioned why the Mona Lisa didn’t have any eyebrows or eyelashes and some researchers claimed that women of that time plucked them out because they were considered unsightly wtf. But we find otherwise!
Using the 240-megapixel scans, Mr Cotte, 49, says he can see traces of a left eyebrow long obscured from the naked eye by the efforts of the restorers.
His conclusion is that Mona Lisa once had both eyebrows and eyelashes, but that these have been gradually eroded to the point that they are no longer visible.
“If you look closely at Mona Lisa’s eye you can clearly see that the cracks around the eye have slightly disappeared, and that may be explained that one day a curator or restorer cleaned the eye, and cleaning the eye removed, probably removed the eyelashes and eyebrow,” he said.
– from The Telegraph
(why am I so diligent put in quotation format with source some more this is not an advertorial wtf)
But damn cool right I dunno I just like stuff like this.
Anyway that Mona Lisa photo was the only picture I managed to take before the custodians came up to me with strained smiles and told me to put that thing away wtf.
That is, the only photo OUT of this room nyeheheheh.
On display were also replicas of Da Vinci’s inventions and ideas.
One of them was this tiny 8-sided room where all the walls are made of mirrors. The description said you would be able to see every part of yourself at every possible angle.
A thousand Audreys!
A lot of other things too but all not photo documented.
This last photo is the ceiling of the Museum. Nice huh?
The only thing nice about the building though wtf. The paint on some of the wooden things on display was peeling, the floor was discolored and the murals looked more like they belonged on some wall of a kindergarten in a suburban bungalow than at a national science museum 🙁
Then when we were at dinner and drinks with Leon and Gin in Jaya 1, we bumped into Jojo and Michael who told us there was a show going on!
I’d seen one of the guys in it the week before performing at an awards ceremony and he was damn funny so we thought ok go.
Told you I am so cultured now. Going to see live show some more.
MACC WTF
Hashahaha it’s Douglas Lim’s first standup comedy show on his own or something. But damn funny ok you must all go watch if you can I laughed until I cried.
And I had to keep myself from elbowing Tim and Ah Kuah whom I was sitting between in the ribs every time I laughed wtf.
Before we left for it.
Btw I bought this bow from Sinma where I think the stupid auntie tried to cheat me.
I use a cheap plastic hair clip to put my bangs up when i wash my face. And the other day it broke so I went to Sinma to get a new one.
You know which kind or not!
Nah.
OK hahahaha I googled “cheap plastic hair clip” and got this picture WTF and this is exactly it I guess it’s synonymous with it hahaha made in China some more.
Anyway I tried to buy one and the lady tried to charge me RM6.90 for it WTF damn expensive right!
Hello auntie it’s like the same plastic they use to make dustbins ok!
I said “wah why so expensive? you sure or not?”
She looked sulky and said “checked the basket (it came from) already. so you want or not?”
I said “don’t want la so expensive.”
She said “ok la then you go choose another smaller one maybe cheaper.”
So I picked out a SLIGHTLY smaller one from a basket marked RM1.90 and paid exactly that. Idiot damn bluff ok how can there be so much difference when the size difference is so small.
Plus the clips were all mixed up with different sizes anyway. The only reason why I was so sure it was RM1.90 was because I made her stand next to me and watch while I plucked my clip from the RM1.90 basket -___-
So! Be careful of sour faced aunties in Sinma.
Lace top!
At Jaya 1 they had some pet exhibition and we met Terry the Terrer Terrapin WTF.
Hahahaha I had a friend who called her pet turtle Terry the Terrer Terrapin hahahaha.
(for non-Malaysians, Terrer means like… great or skillful…. or umai wtf)
Us on the way there.
Wah I took damn long to do this post!
P/S: We are going to watch I Have A Date with Spring this Wednesday courtesy of Pierre thank you Pierre can’t wait! *grateful dance

I named my pet tortoise, Tortee. I know…very original. And for the past 5 years I honestly believed that my tortoise was a female until my bro who just came home from Singapore told me it’s a male and I’ve been cleaning it’s sperms for the past year. A must place visit during this coming weekend “Singapore’s Tortoise Museum!”

Haha I’m done with Diner Dash! I started playing it when I read that post which you mentioned you were so addicted to it. It’s really addictive! Oh by the way I’m quite surprised that they don’t allow you to take pic of Mona Lisa here, ’cause people just kept taking in Paris. Flash or no flash. Nobody cares at all.
I always drove by National Science Museum on the way to work lol. But no time to drop by to see the exhibition. Sigh.
As narcissistic as this sounds, I love the distortion mirrors!
I can stand and laugh at myself for a few good minutes! ;D
Have a great trip to Singapore!

Cool photos. At first I couldn’t understand why the photos were stretched.
You are a good looking girl. You look a little like an actress, whose name I don’t know.
