I must say, the hosts on 8TV are much more a delights to watch than our national's TV hosts. I remember those days when we had to watch RTM 1 or 2 for the live telecast... and they are really plain boring. The commentators are always the same kind as those local football match commentators style.
The rest of the family was so grudgingly sleepy, that i was the only one sitting in front of the TV box. After lunch at the Kuchai Lama's Food court centre, we were driving around the city aimlessly.
Then Gar suggested to drive over to the Lake Garden to have a look around. It has been ages we have never been to the Lake Garden anyway.
And then , we thought of stopping by the Bird Parks to visit. But reached there, i don't feel like getting us all humid and sweatings. So, we drives on.
Then we saw the signs " Planetarium", which reminds me that Joanne told me before once. So, we just parked our car and walks up the flight of stairs to the Planetarium.
There was signages directing us to the ticket counter at the entrance of the Planetarium building.
So, i approached the ticketing counter, asking for the ticket prices. The lady seated behind the counter instead asked me, if i wanted to view the exhibitions only or view the 'tayangan ' ( show aired in their cinema ). I thought we just wanted to have a look around, so i say just exhibitions. And then the lady said it was free viewing today because of the Merdeka special holiday.
Of course its fine with us, since there are 5 of us. Being free , it would have saved us lots. Then the lady gave us a car sticker ( merdeka stuffs ), 5 long cards with 2008 calendar imprinted on one side, and ticket stubs at the end, and 5 black ball point pens.
Inside the Planetarium, I was a bit disappointed. As i have been to the Singapore Science Centre, was expecting something at least of the same kind. But it was more on informations, some little experimental lights things. The only best part we can find inside the exhibits are the black hole and the gravity effect cubicle.
Then it was time for the viewing at the Planetarium cinema. And i thought we are going to see some space movie, or maybe some documentaries about outer space, since the screen was the sphere like roof above us.
But they showed a documentary about human's body. Anyway, its still educational for the kids... for me, i see for the first time inside the lungs, they looks like some keropok ikan dipped in water, fluffy kind... lol !
The show was kind of long, that the kids gets fidgetty. The other childrens in the cinema starts getting restless too.
When it ended, we took a lift up to see the nice view surrounding the Planetarium. Though its not as high as KL Tower, at least its free.... haha. And with those powerful binoculars like, we get to view more buildings up close.The place was not very big or spacious, so at certain stretch we have to squeezed ourselves to get through if someone is standing in the way.
Lingering there long and soon we realized everyone have deserted the place. Hehe...
when we finally gets down again, the place was already empty of visitors.
At the end of the flight of stairs down again, there was the ice-cream. Bought some ice creams to eat before we leaves.
We did stopped by a short while at the nearby park with children's playground.
A very free and easy day for us to celebrate this Merdeka Holiday. Some kind of Merdeka for us.
