the visit to the museum and then some.

babes sans May plus Chweng went to the Vatican exhibition. fortunately we decided to take a stroll along the SGP river today because tomorrow would be the last day for the exhibition and i've been desperately wanting to go see it. K has strongly refused to go for he has to pay full price for the tickets. and i do not wish to keep bugging, since these kind of things... must come from within- whether you want to go and spend some time with artifacts or splurge your time just sitting at home.

honestly? i was thoroughly amazed! i spent a lot of time examining the paintings from the renaissance era. the color, attention to detail, how the cartoons looked three dimensional from different angles etc. i would have seriously spent a longer time reading and looking IF i knew a bit more about Art and had my legs not given in to fatigue.

the thing was i never felt rushed. that i could just stand and take my time. i always felt quite rushed to get museum visits over and done with, since there's nothing much new to see. and i can remember most of the features from the numerous visits.

perhaps it was due to the fact that this the feature is completely new, and i had wanted from the very beginning to go see. or in a more blasphemous and outlandish statement, some form of divine intervention. since i haven't had the time previously and it just so happened we walked past the ACM and Grace decided that we should all go in. and the best thing? the last day would be tomorrow! before they'd pack everything up and leave.

i was glad that we all enjoyed the experience. it was in some way a discovery, since this was the first time going into the museum with new characters. and kind of observing different, new things there.

however, i still wonder how people can stand and start discussing about their experiences at exhibitions. because i can't and i don't think i will ever be about to. i constantly watch in awe when people start exchanging opinions about what they see.

it was connection at its best- the exhibition and my attention.

ah, how i wished i have the ability to do my work as fervently. :)
