It’s named “teamLab: Resonating Microcosms” surely all visitors will definitely be immersed in its transformation by the presence of people ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿป & the environment of nature ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ

teamLab, Resonating Microcosms – Liquified Light Color, Sunrise & Sunset ๐ŸŒ‡๐ŸŒ† ยฉ teamLab

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective, an interdisciplinary group of specialists such as artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians & architects, whose collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology & the natural world teamLab has held numerous exhibitions at venues worldwide, including New York ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ, London ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง, Paris ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, Singapore ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ, Silicon Valley ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡น, Beijing ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ & Melbourne ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ among others as well as large-scale permanent exhibitions in Shanghai ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ, Macao, Tokyo ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต & Singapore ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ As of today, teamLab has welcomed over 28 million visitors to its art exhibitions worldwide. The teamLab Borderless museum in Tokyo ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต saw 2.3 million visitors from over 160 different countries & regions 1๏ธโƒฃ year since its opening & was recognized as the world’s most visited single-art group museum. It was also named 1๏ธโƒฃ of TIME Magazineโ€™s World ๐ŸŒŽโ€™s Greatest Places of 2019

โ–  Name of Exhibition teamLab: Resonating Microcosms

โ– Title Resonating Microcosms: Liquified Light Color, Sunrise & Sunset ๐ŸŒ‡๐ŸŒ† The Rooftop Garden, which features countless ovoids, is an art space that transforms through changes in the natural environment & the presence of people. Under the sun ๐Ÿ”†๐Ÿ˜Ž, the ovoids reflect the world around them. As the sun sets, the ovoids begin to shine by themselves. When an ovoid is pushed by a person, blown by the wind ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿƒ, or hit by rain ๐ŸŒง๏ธโ˜”, it shines brightly & emits a sound tone as it rises back up on its own. The ovoids around it also respond one after another, resonating out the same sound tone & light color. The surrounding Resonating Trees also respond & change continuously teamLab is experimenting with the concept of color ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ

The ovoids can change into a total of 57 newly-defined Liquified Light Colors The space of the work is interactively transformed under the influence of the wind, rain & the behavior of the people in the space, making the environment & the people a part of the work. Amazing unique artโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

โ– Title of the work: Resonating Trees The trees shine brightly. The light of each tree is autonomous, slowly blinking The light transmitted from โ€œResonating Microcosms – Liquified Light Color, Sunrise & Sunsetโ€ causes the trees ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณโ€™ lights to change color & a tone specific to that color resonates out The light of a tree is transmitted to the surrounding trees ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ one by one, as the sound is continuously emitted. When a light resonates from the trees ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ in the distance, it signifies the presence of people. Perhaps people will become more aware of the existence of others in the same space

Yeahโ€ผ๏ธ Have you heard about an instagrammable attraction ๐Ÿ“ in Kuala Lumpur (KL), the capital city ๐ŸŒ†๐Ÿ™ of Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พโ“โ‰๏ธ

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has 1๏ธโƒฃst visited it from her earlier participation โœ… as media team for Kuala Lumpur ๐ŸŒ†๐Ÿ™ What’s Fun tripโ“โ‰๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜‰

It was before Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ ‘s Movement Control Order (MCO) even started though…

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป is gonna sharing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ“aboutthis instagrammable bridge ๐ŸŒ‰named Pintasan Saloma in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ ‘s national language aka Saloma Link Bridge ๐ŸŒ‰

Guess whatโ“โ‰๏ธ

It’s now the longest single span steel structure elevated walkway ๐ŸŒ‰ in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ The orientation of its floor finishes along the walkway is facing the Qibla (Read more via ๐ŸŒ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qibla) to create continuity โ†”๏ธ between the Pintasan Saloma & Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery Park

Surely all of you have viewed lots of beautiful ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉcaptures ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“น๐ŸŽฅ & news sharing about it whether from the main media ๐Ÿ—ž๐Ÿ“ฐ or online social platforms ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ–ฅ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป

Yes โœ…, this Saloma Link with its main structure i.e. A covered elevated steel pedestrian bridge ๐ŸŒ‰ already launched for public visit since 5 Feb 2020 in the city ๐ŸŒ†๐Ÿ™ which commissioned by Kampong Bharu Development Corporation (PKB) ๐Ÿ˜€

It stretches 370m & span across the AKLEH Highway ๐Ÿ›ฃ & Klang River of 69m long. Its curved steel roof canopy houses the with 4.1K diamond facade panels & equipped with LED lights๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’กwhich brightly-lit up at night ๐ŸŒƒ๐ŸŒŒ The state-of-the-art lighting actually changing the light colours from time to time to creating amazing images for public to enjoy their walking ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ & capturing unique moments with it ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“น๐ŸŽฅ

A seamless pedestrian connectivity โ†”๏ธ between both the old & new ๐Ÿ†• worlds of KL ๐ŸŒ†๐Ÿ™, a mere distance from the Kampung Baru LRT ๐Ÿš‰ The construction of this bridge took 1.5 years to complete with cost ๐Ÿ’ฐ of RM31mil (approximately USD7.5mil), including its consultancy cost

The bridgeโ€™s architecture is inspired by the Sirih Junjung in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ‘s national language aka Betel Leaf concept, a must in traditional Malay wedding ceremonies ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ as a symbol of unity among the Malay community. Also its design slightly similar to Bridge of Peace, a bow-shaped pedestrian bridge ๐ŸŒ‰ with steel & glass construction over the Kura River at in downtown Tbilisi, capital of Georgia ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ช, read more via ๐ŸŒ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_of_Peace

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปwould like to reminding public, both Malaysians & foreign visitors ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ to maintaining the cleanliness ๐Ÿšฎof this bridge, perhaps by not โŒ having any snacks/ beverages ๐ŸŸ๐ŸŒฏ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฅค while visiting this link bridge

Let’s all of us be a responsible traveller whenever & wherever we are ๐Ÿ˜Š

Ohh ya…Not just that, this bridge also aims for healthy lifestyle in the city ๐ŸŒ†๐Ÿ™, it’s promoting walkability within the city ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#COVID19 #Coronavirus Outbreak ~ Travel Not??

Updated 8 June 2020, 10am

Hmm…SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป as travel lover ๐Ÿ’— really curious ๐Ÿค”

“Do you still continue your travel plans now due to the increasing โฌ†๏ธ concern of COVID-19โ“โ‰๏ธ Even now with the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) for Malaysiansโ“โ‰๏ธ

COVID-19 has already reached more than ๐Ÿ’ฏK cases worldwide ๐Ÿ—บ ๐ŸŒ according to World Health Organization (WHO)โ€ผ๏ธ Most of the countries even exercised travel bans & restrictions โŒโ›”๏ธ

WHO has declared COVID-19 as a pandemic @ 12 March 2020 via ๐ŸŒ https://www.facebook.com/WHO/posts/2976138652431498

Ohh no…There are many major events around the world ๐Ÿ—บ๐ŸŒ have unfortunately been called off OR postponed to a later date because of COVID-19 pandemic via ๐ŸŒ https://www.facebook.com/bbcnews/posts/10157529269427217

This included the cancellation โŒ of ITB Berlin 2020 ~ 1๏ธโƒฃ of the largest travel exhibition, 1๏ธโƒฃst time in the history ๐Ÿ˜”

The list of cancellation/ postpone running events via ๐ŸŒ https://toughasia.com/covid-19-chaos-race-cancelled-or-postponed/ & ๐ŸŒhttps://www.facebook.com/56873804990/posts/10151241985109991/

Even with the many attractive โฌ‡๏ธ flight fares & tour packages in the worldwide ๐Ÿ—บ ๐ŸŒ market nowโ“โ‰๏ธ

As travel lovers ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—, do you still planning your next tripsโ“โ‰๏ธvia ๐ŸŒ https://www.facebook.com/CDC/posts/10157666459261026:0

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has read & personally trust that there are people ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ still travelling to enjoying no โŒ queue at airport check-in counters/ imigresen counters & quiet planes โœˆ๏ธ now

Also some travellers are NOT โŒ willing to forfeit payments made for travel & hotel bookings, leave cancellation & decided to just carry on with their holiday plans ๐Ÿ˜Ž

.

Hmm…Personally she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป thinks that not to miss some of the flight sales now as the travel period till next year, 2021. By then surely no more COVID-19 by then, yes โœ…, be optimistic & positive ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜

Just sharing her personal thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญ towards COVID-19 as travel lover ๐Ÿ’— Do continue reading ๐Ÿ“– till the end to find out “So, how about SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ“โ‰๏ธ Does she travel nowโ“โ‰๏ธ

1. Reliable & latest COVID-19 updates

Keep yourself updated with the reliable COVID-19 daily updates i.e. WHO, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), local health ministries (e.g. Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Ministry of Health) etc.

Refer the daily COVID-19 status from Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Ministry of Health FB page, as of this blog posting being updated via ๐ŸŒ https://www.facebook.com/kementeriankesihatanmalaysia/

Do check out daily COVID-19 updates in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พvia ๐ŸŒ https://newslab.malaysiakini.com/covid-19/en

Also the reliable news ๐Ÿ—ž๐Ÿ“ฐ channels i.e. British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC News), CNN International, local news / radio ๐Ÿ“ป channels etc. via ๐ŸŒ https://www.facebook.com/cnn/posts/10160548551401509

2. Travel destination

If your travel destination๐Ÿ“is already with major travel warnings/ restrictions & having โ€œwidespread sustained (ongoing) transmissionโ€, then the answer may be easy ~ CANCEL your travel plan

As at this blog post posted @ 10 March 2020, China ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ , South Korea ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท , Iran ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท & Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น are the high โฌ†๏ธ risk countries i.e. with Level 3๏ธโƒฃ Travel Notice Warning ~ Avoid Nonessential Travel from CDC via ๐ŸŒ https://www.facebook.com/CDC/posts/10157656517951026

For other countries, you may then decide whether necessary & must travel during this period of time OR to reshedule/ postpone ๐Ÿ—“ the trip

3. Travel modes

Do you travel to your next destination with plane โœˆ๏ธ, bus ๐ŸšŒ, car ๐Ÿš—, taxi ๐Ÿš•, rail ๐Ÿš‚, cruise ๐Ÿšข etc.โ“โ‰๏ธ

Travel with plane โœˆ๏ธ currently as high โฌ†๏ธ risk mode of travel. If you do need to plan air travel, suggest to stick with those airlines that have more flexible cancellation & flight change policies โ˜บ๏ธ via ๐ŸŒ https://www.facebook.com/cnn/posts/10160548766431509

Not just that travel with cruise ๐Ÿšข also not โŒ advisable due to the serious COVID-19 affected cruise cases being reported ๐Ÿ—ž๐Ÿ“ฐ

4. Travel essentials

Rental pocket wifi ๐Ÿ“ถ is an useful item ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป to stay connected during your trips for latest COVID19 updates ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Standard travel insurance policies usually do not โŒ cover trip cancellations because people have a โ€œfear of travelingโ€ via ๐ŸŒ https://www.facebook.com/abcnews.au/posts/10160843571159988

COVID-19 is now well-known around the globe ๐Ÿ—บ๐ŸŒ , hence mostly all insurance providers consider COVID-19 as a โ€œforseeable impact on travelโ€ & exclude it from coverage in most of all travel insurance policies, unless you have bought 1๏ธโƒฃ before Jan 2020

Not to worry, do consider to upgrade your life & medical insurance policies ๐Ÿ˜‰ via ๐ŸŒ https://www.facebook.com/AIAMalaysia/posts/3073490869328171

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has now added โž•face mask ๐Ÿ˜ท, hand ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿป sanitiser, multivitamins ๐Ÿ’Š etc. into her backpack ๐ŸŽ’

5. Self protection pre, during & post travelling

Keeping fit & strengthen own immune system. Do practise good ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป hygiene to self protect against any infections

Always carry your own cutlery ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฅข& reusable water bottle while travelling ๐Ÿงณ๐ŸŽ’via ๐ŸŒ https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1236292602984640514

Also to avoid eating raw ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿฆ€๐Ÿฆž๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฆ‘๐Ÿ™ or undercooked food when travelling abroad. Not โŒ to visit any wet markets where animals are slaughtered, dressed/ butchered ๐Ÿ”ช

Do try to avoid shake hands ๐Ÿค / welcoming hugs ๐Ÿค— / kissing ๐Ÿ˜™ lips/ cheeks/ hands when meeting people ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ during travel journeys

Instead change to another polite greeting style, time to show what we have learnt from the diversity culture across the globe ๐Ÿ—บ๐ŸŒvia ๐ŸŒ https://www.facebook.com/WHO/posts/2979238552121508

Let’s wave ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป, nod & a bow OR a Namaste ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป greeting via ๐ŸŒ https://www.facebook.com/11450527254/posts/10156388599217255/

Do enjoy this creative Corona song, truly inspired for COVID19 prevention ya

6. Be a responsible traveller

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has actually decided not โŒ to participate 2๏ธโƒฃ media trips within Asia ๐ŸŒŽ that she has been invited since 15 March 2020 ๐Ÿ“ง

Yes โœ…, she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป does think twice before she on board her trips now due to COVID-19. She can’t be selfish & only thinking about her travel love ๐Ÿ’— She still had her loved ones (especially her mama ๐Ÿง“๐Ÿป after late papa ๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿป recent passed away) who will worry if she insists to still travel due to current COVID-19 threat

Teriyaki Chicken ๐Ÿ— Sandwich ๐Ÿฅช ๆ—ฅๅผ็…ง็ƒง้ธก่‚‰ไธ‰ๆ–‡ๆฒป

It may sounds simple & nothing special from its dish name ๐Ÿ˜„

However, once you bite it, you will love ๐Ÿ’— your juicy bite & continue none stop ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคค

It’s Teriyaki Chicken ๐Ÿ— & Tamago Mayo (i.e. egg ๐Ÿฅš mayo) served with Wasabi Mayonnaise makes for 1๏ธโƒฃย tasty sandwich ๐Ÿฅช
