went bodyworlds today.

went with andre the GENIUS and george the GENIUS. it was very good having them around cause they could explain to me so many things and jog my memory or so much stuff. it's really a very interesting exhibition, and looking at the exhibits there are so different from those in the anat lab. and it's this process of plastination which is actually quite amazing, cause u can add colour to the differnt tissue. so the tendons are white, muscles red, nerves white/yellow etc etc. and differnt parts of the heart can be coloured different colours too. :)

and it's interesting cause u can see anatomy tt u learn in class come so identifiable and interactive. one where u can pin point what is what and feel good about yourself. :) haha~~ ego boosting session. but anyway i've realised that i've forgotton alot of my 1st semester anat liao. which is quite bad.

so mainly the exhibition was divided into skeleton and ligaments; muscles; nerves and brain; respiratory system; cardiovascular system; GI; development. so, it took us 2 hrs to finish skeleton and ligaments, nerves and brain, muscles. and then we were so tired after tt and HAD to sit down and rest. :) too taxing lar. and we ended staying there from 1340 to ard 1810. so insane. felt so mentally and physically taxed. and to be honest, i was kinda glad tt when finished the last exhibit (which was a horse) cause i was feeling hungry, thirsty, and had sore legs...

worth the $18 definately, but pple with a basic knowledge of anat will certainly enjoy it more.

and might i also add tt some of the exhibits have rather pendulous members which can be distracting. *grin*



oh, poor wm fell down during ice skating and cut his head btw the brows... poor thing. needed stitches i heard from him. hope he recovers quickly w/o any scars. :) and ask him to send a photo of him he don't want... he should post it up on his blog.
