I haven't being so into dinasour thingy after the Jurassic Park films era ended like 10 years ago? After much asking (or grumbled) from daddy like "haven't we'd been there before and we already saw it" and the answer was that this time it's the special showcase, so, we was here yesterday (since the clock showed 12.03 am now and I'm still not sleeping dunno why and exchanging my slot of writing-up-thesis to writing-up-blog..procrastinating over and over huh..well ..at least I can exchange some info eh).
As usual, we went there by train since there would not be much hassle to go into the city with the public transport. We exited at St. James station (unfortunately the station is not that user friendly since it does not provide elevator and lane for baby tram and poor daddy got to carry kimi inside his "car" by the stairs). This was the first landmark that we saw not far from the station and beyond Hyde Park and so we thought that this building is the museum.
Tapi dalam hati nih..eeei lain macam jek rupa bentuk nya..la bila pi dekat rupanya church!..I think this is the main church kat Sydney kot yang selalu masuk local newspaper tunjuk gambar newlyweds. Sempat snap few photos dan gambar terpilih adalah:
Apalah motif sculpture kat dalam fountain tu...
Passing through the Hyde Park, Sydney (a "mini" version of London's Hyde Park I can say) to reach the museum.
At another corner of the park IS the musuem.
A dinasour greeting daddy and kimi by the window. It probably said"yea..two yummy meals for me about to enter my domain.."
Good service..daddy didn't have to carry Kimi on the stairs.
The musuem had several levels with its own theme. Since we already went to this museum before, we skipped the other showcases and went straight to level 2 where the dinasour showcase took place. There was this one level showcasing various types of gemstones like diamond, opal and all but we skipped that one too.
T-rex's skeleton that was so gigantic and daddy looked so miniature in size.
Kimi with feathered-dinasour.
With the herbivourous-type dinasour skeleton.
"The beast and the beauty mummy". This creature was thought to be linked with wombat.
Daddy with euraptor dinasour.
Nak ikutkan memang banyak sangat displays & info pasal dinasour. Yang skeleton besar semua tu diorang casts lah. Yang betul tu fossils dan serpihan tulang dan gigi..taklah larat nak upload kat sini. Tapi peminat dinasour bolehla check info kat australian museum's website or just googling the informations about dinasours kat wikipedia..so much info and a few of them are still being challenged scientifically till today.
I googled a few stuffs just to find more info. since we couldn't really concentrate reading on all of the info. displayed. I found few interesting facts like dinasour had occupied this earth about 160 millions years ago and as most of the people already knew that most of the species were wiped out due to the meteor-hits. The classifications of dinasours species are complex. Almost none of the dinasours that lived in water survived after the meteor hits. Of course the one that survived evolutionised. Birds are "thought" or at least scientifically proven to be originated from dinasours. I also checked if Malaysia has its own paleontology..of course we have, stupid me...(time to do something with our media must highlight on the noble profession like this eh and to attract more younger generations to be in this kind of professions, afterall we have one of the oldest rainforests in the world, there must be alot of new discoveries yet to be made). Dinasour's fossils were found in scattered part of the world so they lived everywhere including Antartica. Have we found our fossils yet specifically belonged to dinaosours? I have yet to find any info. about it but I was astonished to find that it was reported last month that our scientists had found human stoned tools somewhere in Lenggong, Perak aged 1.83 million years old indicating that one of the earliest human being on earth either had been to Malaysia or lived there. They have yet to find the human bones but what if the human never lived there and just passing by. The info was obtained from here. Enough of these thoughts.
After ending up watching the dinasours thingy, we let Kimi played in the kid-zone in the musuem itself. The place had colouring section, a few cubicles with a lot of interactive toys and soft toys of aussie's wildlifes, many insects embedded in glass-cubes (Kimi's fav.), human skeleton, small pantry, story book section, etc. The museum also organises some kid sessions in this zone during the weekdays. Nice eh...for Kimi.
Future paleontologist in the making?
Kimi: Mummy, I already have my own research assistant next to me! yea..
Ok kimi..we go to go now..bye..What did kimi do after this? Dia bermandi manda dalam fountain kat Hyde Park..nanti upload gambar in the next post okey.

Soalan cepumas?
Sempat tak nabi Adam jumpa dinasour based on current info. and evidence (be it from scientific evidence or from the Qur'an?
