Cellini Salt Cellar

If you have read my earlier post regarding Historical Artifact created by Benvenuto. Are you able to guess what is this historical artifact used for?

Cellini Salt Cellar front view

It's a Salt Cellar on the dining table. Yes it's a very beautiful piece of art sculpture created by Benvenuto Cellini in 1543. There are two sculptures Male and Female. The Male sculpture represent the sea and the Female sculpture represents the earth.

Let's have a 360 view of the Salt Cellar... Can you see the detail on the sculpture itself?

Another Side view... How about the sculpture in the house, look at how define is the sculpture.

Okay let's turn around and see the other side of the view... which i considered the back view of the Salt Cellar. Can you see those sculpture beneath the bowl?

Cellini Salt Cellar - Behind View

Do you know where would the salt being placed in this Salt Cellar? If you guess the bowl... You are right! The salt was placed in the bowl beside the male sculpture.

So, what do you think about the Cellini Salt Cellar?

After Earth - The Movie

Quote from After Earth which i remember clearly...

Cypher Raige:   Son, this is not training.  This is a “Class One” quarantined planet.  The threats we will be facing are real.  The temperatures on this planet fluctuate dangerously.  Everything has evolved to kill humans.  Every single decision we make will be life or death.  But if we are going to survive this, you must realize that fear is not real.  It is a product of thoughts you create.  Now do not misunderstand me, danger is very real, but fear is a choice.  Do you know where we are?
Kitai Raige:   No, sir.
Cypher Raige:   This is Earth.

Anyway, the movie was not that great. The story line was so boring. I would not wanna to tell you in detail as i don't want people out there called me SPOILER :p If you want me to rate this movie, i would rate 4.5/10... To me the movie only so so... Not that great. 

Historical Artifact created by Benvenuto

This golden attractive artifact was placed in Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. And this is the main icon of the museum i.e. they advertise this artifact as part of the attraction in the museum. I got the opportunity to view this when i was in Vienna.

Artifact created in 1543

So, what was this item used for?

ps: i will review the answer in next two days :)

No show, meeting Rescheduled

Is there so difficult to get your 15 mins meeting time?

Meeting has been rescheduled and rescheduled and rescheduled since last week until today... the person is not showing in the meeting now and I bet the meeting will reschedule again. SIGH~ Is this an indicator to me that i should move on? Or just that i think too much... >.>

Anyway, i think i gotta let the person know that this could not be continued as i got annoyed by this kind of arrangement especially I need to cut down my lunch time, rushing through the meal, getting out from an enjoyable update from colleagues and quickly get into the meeting. Wait...Wait and Wait... NO SHOW!!!  or received reschedule meeting appointment. This show how important am i... it's time to move on...

How would you have done if you gotten this situation?

Singapore Sundown Marathon 2013

Flown down south onto the island of Lion on last Thursday evening, Preparing for my first evening run on Friday late night or should I say early Saturday morning... The flag off was at 00:30.

Thousands over people rushing to the front to kick start on the run... Anyone able to locate TZ?

Rollback to before run...
snap snap here and snap snap there; upload pictures to the social media were what the runner did...

Sundown with Singapore eye as backdrop

During running...
TZ ran the first 3km and then slowed down to walk for 6km with the speed of 4.0-5.0km/hr... and ran the last one km again when approaching the finishing line.


After 1hr 34mins 11secs...

Sweaty and energy drained TZ - smile with the finisher medal

At that moment, I was doubt whether able to grab the finished medal. While approaching the counter that distributing items... First item they given out was a can of 100plus, followed by a bottle of water and a banana... I was disappointed as i thought i don't get any finisher medal as i finished more than 1.5 hrs. But to my surprise, I was given the finisher medal before i left the distribution counter... Yay! Yay! I successfully added another medal into my running corner.

Overall, it was a tiring run but quite interesting as it's running at night instead of early morning. Now, it's the recovering of my soreness leg takes time... :p
