A Visit to the Singapore Science Centre - Alvinology

A Visit to the Singapore Science Centre

A few months ago in January, I visited the Singapore Science Centre together with Rachel and her sister, Eunice. It was like down memory lane again, with childhood memories gushing back as I bump into some of the older exhibits which were there since I was a primary school kid.

We watched a film about Egyptian mummies at the Omni-Theatre too. It sucks and reminded me why the Omni-Theatre had never been one of my favourites. The tickets are over-priced and the films they show are usually quite hollow in content. However, the other exhibits and attractions at the Science Centre more than make up for it.

Here are some photos to share. 🙂
