Jalan Pudu Lama, Kuala Lumpur / LCA /October 2005

The weekend has just morphed to week 11. How did it go by so fast?

Yesterday I took a quick stroll down Harris Street to visit the Powerhouse Museum. A pretty cool place if you like twiddling and experimenting things (it's a Science + Design museum. Go figure). They had the Diana exhibition, which displayed her personal belongings (report cards, notebooks, letters, stuffed toys, photos, etc), videos, tiara, wedding dress and two walls filled with condolence books (compiled by the Spencer family). I was called a necrophiliac by someone after I said I really liked the Diana exhibition. Hahaha.

But I also liked the Strasburg clock model. I sat there watching the intricately made clock come to live. After a brief commentary, the procession of the Apostles began. In an alcove, Jesus came out and stood there while the 12 apostles moved and bowed in front of him. When it was Peter's (the 6th apostle) turn, Satan appeared at a small window as the rooster on top of the clock flapped its wings. When it came to Judas, Satan came out again as Judas, carrying a bag of gold - payment for the betrayal, moved and bowed in front of Jesus.

But what I liked the most was Hannah's pie stand outside the museum. Chicken mushroom pie with barbecue and chili sauce in the cold.

Next weekend: Attempting the 3.5km Bondi - Bronte Walk. The walk will cover Bondi Beach, Surf Life Saving Club, Bondi Pavilion, Bondi Baths (home to the world famous Bondi Icebergs Club), Tamarama Park, Bronte Park, Bronte Baths, Aboriginal Art and the Waverly Cemetery.
