National Science Centre Visit
I can't remember when was the last time i stepped in Malaysia's National Science Centre which is located around Mont Kiara. I don't think you can't access this place other than driving by your own-self or taking a taxi.
On the day I went, they were doing a promotion so there was no need to pay any entrance fees for the tickets. Otherwise it's only RM6.
Assuming if you park your car over at a free car park opposite the science centre, you will be greeted by this new building as you past the main entrance.
Basically inside is a simple chair lift ride which introduces the visitors to life many many, many years ago... the sound system was a bit mediocre and tends to overlap so i can't really hear what the narrator was saying. @@
Outside the centre there is a playground with many fun and intriguing games. :D
Nearby the pool there is also an 'Aquatic Centre' which is almost similiar to your regular aquarium shops. Nothing special here but i finally had the chance to test my TX10's underwater mode! This is certainly an attention grabbing method! XD
I also learned that Underwater photography is not easy at all. Although it seems pretty bright, but underwater you seem to loose 1-2 stops of light. Had to really boost the ISO to increase my shutter speed to freeze the fish's movements.
Moving up the hill towards the main building, a tiny butterfly farm (or the Garden of Nature) will be on your left.
I am not an avid fan of butterflies though, as i dropped my camera of the floor when the thing suddenly took flight. Although the TX10 is deemed to be shockproof for up to 1.5 metres, it is certainly not scratch resistant. Oh the heart break D:
And finally, moving on to the green domed building at the top of the mountain.
In a nut shell there are certainly many interesting stuffs inside related to science and technology. Some may be a bit too deep for children to understand though, like genetics. It's very much worth the RM6 spent for those who paid to enter.

Simulator. Singapore Science Centre is much better though.
The great ocean
.. such as this. Have to figure out the way to lock the foot pedals to get to the top.
There is also pool nearby, for children mostly.

Am more interested in the bokeh rather than the butterfly.

The interiors
For those who have never stepped foot inside the building, I honestly think that you should experience it once in your life time.
