National Geographic Exhibition: 50 greatest photographs

Paid a visit to the art science museum for the first time for the National Geographic exhibition of the 50 greatest photographs. Exhibition ends 27 October 2013 so head down soon before it ends. The exhibition showcases some of the most amazing pictures taken for the magazine. There is also a story behind each of the pictures. Some pictures looked really normal to me but CW kept telling me to read the description. He said that it's the story behind each picture that makes them amazing. As the exhibition is '50 greatest photographs', I was expecting to be blown away by every picture but I guess we have to look beyond just the picture. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You will be able to see the iconic Afgan girl picture at the exhibition. Photography is allowed but without the flash.

What the exhibition was about

Pandora!

I know it's too early to post this but I love it so much I had to share. 

Pandora bracelets started getting really popular this year and CW decided that he was going to get it for our 6th anniversary this year. As he did not want to get anything that I don't like, he brought me along to choose the bracelet and charms.

He bought it really early as we happened to walk pass the shop at MBS after dinner and the shop was empty! As it was really random, we did not research on the charms beforehand so we spent quite awhile choosing. Deciding on the length of the bracelet was already a major headache as 18cm was too loose while 17cm was just nice. Just nice might mean that it could get too tight if the charms are bulky. Oh well, we went with 17cm as 18cm was really too loose. Hopefully the bracelet will expand alittle like what the sales person said.

As for the charms, we chose the Sakura Murano and clips as I love all things Japan. The heart charm and also the bird charm from the autumn collection. Wanted to get the Christmas/ Winter charm as my birthday falls on Christmas eve but it was not available yet. 

I'm only going to start wearing it on our anniversary on 2 November 2013 :)

Love the charms.
