Fri:: went to the Body Worlds exhibition with Pennapa. Its full of "Plastinated" bodies, in various position and stages. some are seen with only the blood vessels left while some are with the muscles and innards. most of the bodies displayed are without the skin, so you see a mass of red muscles, which reminded me alot of bah kua ( dried/cured meat).

the human intestines was interesting.....got to see how long it actually is and visualise how food goes from the mouth into the stomach, then the small intestine and then finally into the large intestine, where the indigestable food particles are held until its passed out via the rectum. heh. Majority of the bodies were male ones, so you get to see alot of bollocks. but there was one display of a very pregnant women, with her womb cut open to reveal the baby inside. really makes one wonder how she died. and the actual process of "plastinating" the bodies, its Wow.

check out www.bodyworlds.com for info.

After the exhibition, we headed to Victoria to meet Gary and had Subway for dinner!!!! i have been craving for it since i got here and finally i got to eat my favourite turkey breast sandwich. Mmmmmm...cant wait to grab another one soon. woofed down my dinner and the 3 of us headed for a concert organised by Trinity College of Music. Yu tsang was involved in the concert, so he got us free tickets. the orchestra performed: Sinfonietta Op.1 by Britten, Cantiga Op.45 by David Matthews, and Symphony No.4 in Bflat major Op.60 by Beethoven. My favourite was still the Beethoven piece. As old as the piece may be, it had the most feeling to it. It felt very grand and majestic to me, and at the same time i was thinking " Beethoven was a really talented composer, to have written such a piece back in the 1800s".
On the overall, not bad for a free concert! =)


sat:: went to Harrods to check out its sale on its final day......and bought only 3 bars of lindt chocolate and 4 bottles of candies, of which 3 were for my sister. sigh.
