Science centre + Pixar

yesterday went to the science centre and it had a Pixar exhibition. Sharon found out about physics the hard way and i almost did the same. there is a slope going to the centre that has steps on it. the problem it it is matt black so you cant see the step until its too late. i just opened my mouth to say watch the step and suddenly she wasnt there. luckily it was only a small step and it must have been soft cement as only grazed knees were sustained.

The Pixar exhibit was great. they had short films running, 6-8inch cast models of some characters from several of the movies, storyboards and artwork from the movies, etc, etc.

the best part of the science centre was the tesla coil. 3.5 million volts sure makes a nice show. the sparks were purple and about 5 feet long and forked. for  the last bit of the tesla show they had 2 balloons filled with hydrogen that they put near the coil, they obviously caught fire when struck by the sparks. it was loud and produced a bit of heat.

Monday we go to KL.
