The Nobel Prize: Ideas Changing The World Exhibit @ ArtScience Museum of Singapore

ABBEY: By visiting The Nobel Prize : Ideas Changing the World exhibit at ArtScience Museum, I got more knowledge about the coveted award. The founder Alfred Nobel stated on his will that his fortune should be used as prizes for those who excel in 5 categories: chemistry, physics, medicine, literature, peace and economic studies. The gallery displays the winners and laureates as well as the reason why they've been given that honor. Among them were Alexander Fleming (penicillin), Malala Yousafzai, and United Nations.

There is also an interactive game in form of a survey of what could be the future Nobel awards.

With these breakthroughs, inventions and maintaining peace and harmony the world will become a better place.








WILL: After we tour my siblings at National Museum of Singapore and a sumptuous meal at Baja Fresh we headed to ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay. We are there to checkout the Nobel Prize Exhibition.  

In there, the exhibit visitors were educated on how and why this noble award started. It was astonishing that mostly the things we use from day to day won this award. Like mosquito nets, the syringes and even some books that create a deep impact on humankind's lives. 

We definitely love this exhibit. It adds up to knowledge and the feeling of to do more for others..to give back to society. 

To Nobel Prize and beyond! Cheers!

OCBC Skyway - Get Up Close To The Supertrees @ Gardens by the Bay

ABBEY: There's always a long queue on the ticket booth of OCBC Skywalk and since we planned going there on Deepavali, we expected a longer one. Fortunately, no queue by the time we arrived. This means we can have the skywalk by ourselves, have lots of snaps and take the time to be amazed by the view at the top. 

A ticket costs 5SGD. It will take 5-10 mins to finish the walk but for us we took it very slow. It was refreshing and enjoyable.




WILL: This is one of the sights that we do not want to go to unless we have tourists on board with us. We walked our way out from Marina Bay Sands The Shoppes to Gardens by the Bay. And our aim is the OCBC Skywalk. 

For only $5 each. You can see from the top the beauty of flora and fauna of the Multi-awarded garden/park of Singapore. You can have a great spot to take the MBS Hotel as your backdrop on your photos.

I think we stayed there for 30 minutes. Why? We are just staring at the beautifully arranged garden below us and my siblings like the sweet smell of wind hitting our skin. 

Please take note: Be there before 5pm or else you will not enjoy the sights because too many people already walking around.

MegaZip Adventure Park - NorthFace (Wall Climbing) & Megazip (Zip Line)

ABBEY: Wilma's siblings love to have thrilling activities. So she booked them the Panther package of Megazip. With that they can do wall climbing and zipline. None of us reached the top except Wilma as our arms and legs are burning and screaming with pain :) 

After our futile attempts on the wall we climbed the tower to the start of the line. The zipline is 450m long and 75m high and 3 persons can go at a time. It was fun and the view is breathtaking. Don't worry about your things. The staff will collect it before you head to the zipline and will be given to you at the end of the ride. Videos and photos are available for your souvenir.







WILL: This is one of the exciting part of my siblings trip in here. Why? All of them is their first time to do a wall climbing and two of them is their first time to experience a zipline. 

I gave their itinerary weeks before to ready their body in such activity. But I think weeks are not enough. None of them reached the top of the wall. Thrice they tried but they failed. Hehe.

I conquered the MegaZip Adventure Park's NorthFace!!! After all (except me, ehem) surrendered on wall climbing we went for MegaZip. Abbey and I done this few times but this will be our first time to do in Singapore. That is a 450m line. What I like the most on that experience? The greenery and the fact that you land on a breakwater. Ha!

We enjoyed the time spent with MegaZip specially the all-smile and friendly team of yours. Till next time guys! Till next our next adventure!
