Somehow I can never obtain enough SunPerks Points to redeem anything. Perhaps it's because I rarely exceed the free sms and talktime that come with my handphone plan. How come m1 doesn't give everyone something as a token? I only have 700 over points and it seems like the min no. of points is 1000 to redeem a stored-value card or something. @_@
I'm taking a break from doing powerpoint slides. From what I can remember, I've been doing up slides since a week ago when we started on counting. I'm so looking forward to get over with such topics so that as least I can use everyday objects as examples for other topics. I think children can relate better when they see objects they come across in daily life. It's easier for them to understand and visualize. I've found out that the easiest thing may be the most difficult to teach. It's like an atom and a molecule. If you understand what's an atom, you will most likely understand what's a molecule. But if you can never understand what's an atom, how do I even break it up to something smaller and more understandable? haha..
I can't believe I just used the above to create an analogy for a problem I'm facing now. The stuff that comes to mind! "@_@
It was a trip to the National Museum with Yuwei today. I don't even remember when was the last time I went to that place. It could be during my sec sch days or maybe when I was young, my dad brought me? Can't recall too. It's a rare chance to see some sculptures from the Louvre indeed. Such works have always amazed me. The intricacy and details carved out so neatly and perfectly on marble. The parts of these sculptures that attracted me most were the folds on the cloth. Even in photos, they look so beautiful, much less when seen in 3D form at the museum. There's a feeling of softness and yet heaviness. Softness of fabric and heaviness from robes. All these achieved in the end products.
There were however, a few irritating photographers with those huge cameras who were blocking the way and who made one feel obliged to stand aside and wait until they finished taking the photos. And it's not like they're selective. They took pictures of every single display. Were they that impressed with ALL the works? There was a guy with a professional camera who didn't even know who's Aristotle and yet took a photo of the sculpture. He had to ask his friend, "Who's this?" And then proceeded with clicking his camera. "-_- Come on lah...
However, the exhibition was worth the $8 entrance fee. If one has the time, one should go for the guided tour first and then move around by oneself. It's easier to appreciate the history when listening to the stories told by the volunteer. Going through all the texts on the walls could be quite a confusing process after some time especially when the place's dim haha...Labels: Art
