Assalamualaikum

Last Saturday right after I finished work in the afternoon, I soon headed to Melaka for window shopping and Iftar somewhere there with Sodep. But as soon as we exited Ayer Keroh toll booth, suddenly my bestest friend remembered an advertisement about an exhibition The Science of Aliens which will be held at MITC, Melaka from 23rd August 2008 to 22nd of January 2009. So we decided to head there to see what so alien about it. Here is what the ad said...

"Do you believe in aliens? Have you ever looked up unto the starry sky and wondered if they exist and if they do what would you have to say if they communicated with us? The Science of Alien Exhibition is here to answer all you questions."

"Come on over for a closer interaction with aliens, alien worlds and other mysteries from beyond. Step into a whole new dimension and figure out for yourself if the truth is really out there. Wholly scientific, educational and interactive. The Science of Aliens Exhibition is sure to answer all your queries and leave you with more thought provoking theories than ever before."
The price of admission is RM 8 for adults, RM 4 for children and RM 20 for family package (2 adults + 3 children). The exhibition consist of 4 distinctive Zones; ZOne 1 : Aliens Fantasy & Imaginations, Zone 2 : The Science of Aliens, Zone 3 : Their World and Zone 4 : Communicating with them.
Zone 1 : Aliens Fantasy & Imaginations
In the first zone, we were greeted with a giant alien replica of the movie Aliens. There was a lot of ideas and imagination brought here especially from the movie industry ever since the 60's. Movies that applies the presence of aliens such as Aliens, Predator, Star Wars and even the famous E.T. There was also a actual size replica of a famous character in Star Wars, Ewoks. Aliens presence always have been associated with crop circles and there were several photos of them in this zone.

Zone 2 : The Science of Aliens
This zone meanwhile offers factual stuff that can be related to aliens. We always assume that aliens come from outer space which is basically thousands of feet above us. But what we don't know, there are also species "alien" to us like in these photos. They exists in the ocean deep. Do you know that it is dark down there like it is in outer space? So they should be some kind of resemblance.I guess strange creature live in extreme places and conditions.

note: these creatures really exist, they are not man-made fantasies.

Zone 3 : Their World
In this particular zone, two high tech organism simulators are displayed to simulate what it would be like in a planet with different environments and living creature. The simulators are very high tech and uses touch sensor to let visitor experience themselves on conditions and characteristics of creatures in the simulated world. Very interesting.


Zone 4 : Communicating with them
In the final zone, there were three communicating machine which is suppose to project our message in a form of symbol because they said that aliens would have problem communicating in our language, so we were given a chance to send message in a form of 3 symbols. Mine was "Aliens", "Love", "Man", "?". I guess that sums the whole alien thingy.


p.s: hope the aliens won't misunderstand the message...hehe
