First up, this entry will be the longest one to date since I took a gazillion pics with my phone..


Anyway, where did I go??? I went out to Singapore Expo for..






INNOVATIONATION!!






Well, I noe some ask whats that.. Well, Just see the pics and figure out yourself k.. Too tired to tell that part.. LOL..


So, I went to Expo by MRT..



I walked to the map to search for the hall which has INNOVATIONATION..




Finally found it and was shocked to find the round room to be ultra big..(below)




The counter was also damn big to serve alot of people but on that day theres seem to be wuite a trickle of them at the counter..




After they found my name in the registry, they gave me this card which has an embedded RFID chip.. Cool print too..




Acting dumb, I followed the "follow me" sign.. Noob!!




At the first pit stop, I tapped my card on a sensor and out comes my name..








VERY HONOURED SIA!!!








Then on the floor had this interactive stuff.. U see, there are sentences on the floor and when you stepped on them the words you wished to step on moved away from your foot..




So I carried o moving and I pass this huge and lengthy screen about the histories of alot of technologies.. The animation and sound was sync..




And yup, this is the sensor where I can scanned my card over it.. Awesome!!




A close-up view of the huge animation..




Well, this part I can tell you that they showcased old telephones and even a payphone of the past.. Here are the pics..










Sorrie for the extreme brightness but the screen actually shows the history of technologies and they will animate when you slide it left to right or vice versa..




Its actully a recording about the technologies.. I'm hearing one of the many speakers that are in one long room..




See what I mean.. There are many of them in the room.. Quite fun to hear from one of them..




Now on to mobile phones.. Well, actually lets start with cordless telephone.. Big and Bulky..




More of them, but I like the retro feature..




Here we go, the first mobile phone.. Quite a biggy and weighs a hefty 3-5kg.. I do not noe how people bring this to work everyday..




And now onto... The first Imac computer... Wanna play games on it?? It only has 166HZ.. Thats all.. Quite a fag if use now..




Then theres the first Apple laptop.. Looks abit like IBM laptop.. Now their laptop are all white..




Heres the name of the room that I'm in..




Then we got the 2001 Imac... An oldie but a favourite to some due to its coloured cover.. No separate CPU!!




In this 3 pics, I wanna show you a simple but fun game.. Consider this a pin-pong lookalike but you have to use your hand to push the digitalized ball..


And expect the ball to come back to you as the gravity is at the edge of the round table..








In the next room there are four nuclear reactor lookalike which has...




Miniature videos in some of the many holes.. There are even sounds for you to hear about the tech expansion..




Then this are just some interactive things we can do with the present technologies..


















Ok.. Here, theres a small screen and alot of info about the technologies we used today.. What made this my favourite is that you can scroll the screen with just your hands!!








Extreme-AWESOME!!!







The pic on top works as a camera on the ceiling record your hands moving and quickly make this happen as a mose in the screen..


Another one here is the same application but the camera are positioned at the sides, not on top.. So thats y I loved this gadget..




And moving on.. They showed me that handphones can do more than what it can today..


They showed me an application that tell you more about the place that you are at.. They even provide quiz and stuff about the location to get you to understand more of the location..




Then the basics is that you can paybills and you noe the rest..




This is just a random pic as this laptop is not as branded as the others but the thing is that this laptop has a whopping speed of 2.6GHz!!




Then in another room theres games around..




Theres even a X-Box360...




Information about the most famous technologist..




In this room, you pulled this ring and sounds are created.. You can make a musical out of the many rings in the room..




So alot of people tried but in the end made the most annoying music of all..




There are many of this questions in the exhibition.. I did answer all of them, I hope..




Here's another best part.. A photo is taken by the computer..




And out come your pic, in this case my pic..




Then they tell you whether you are aspiring, enthusiastic or relaxed..


As for me, I got enthusiastic..








ENTHU!!!!







Then your face get to be put on the map of Singapore..




After that, its finito... But bfore I left for home, I got this pic of the main enrance to the exhibiton... Quite nice with all the disc shining at you..




By the way, there are so many disc that I can make a pirated stall sia..




So off I go back to the MRT..




Going back was even challenging as there are alot of people in it and all I want is just a seat for me to sleep..


Finally found one at Kallang.. Now I'm of to sleep after riting this entry for 4 hours..




ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...
