We started off parking underneath Tower 2. Walked through KLCC and the tunnel connecting the Convention Centre and engaged in some gratuitous photo taking:

We finally made it to the expo, eventually!

They kicked off with highlights of some geniuses in history, Beethoven and Newton among them.
Listened to Beethoven, I think he liked it, considering he didn't want to stop listening!
Had some fun with the Newton apple experiment! Explaining gravity was a challenge though...
The next area was filled with facts and info about the human brain, and Zharif had a look at what a real brain looked like, with some actual preserved brains.
Unfortunately, the girl attending the area wasn't prepared for Zharif's comment:
"Zombie eat brain yang ni?"
She was actually stunned, so I ushered him quickly along (and forgot to take a picture of the preserved brains as a result)!
They showed a short screening of how important the development of the human brain was, ending with a mention of how ENFA products help of course. I think the terminology was a bit too advanced for most kids though. Btw, Zharif hasn't actually been to a cinema yet, how old do you take your kid the first time?
Walking through the neurons, Zharif really liked this area. I liked it too!
Incidentally, Zharif also had his map obsession going on big time. They gave us a map of the expo area upon registration and it was his most valued possession.

| Daddy, kena pergi THIS way! |
It became important for him to visit every item highlighted in the map, even a visit to the toilet!
The puzzles area was fun, Zharif tried out almost everything he could.
Admittedly, some were tough for him, and some were clearly for much older kids.
There was a small maze which was alright but could've been a lot more fun if it was bigger. They also had a cardboard cut out area, probably the least imaginative bit of the expo, but we took pics anyway:
They had to include a ball pit area for kids to just be kids:

The kids were supposed to be collecting the letters D-H-A but I think that plan fell out the window eventually...

Spot the Zharif!
Of course, the last area was the "Buy Mead Johnson products area", which naturally damaged my wallet. Zharif of course chugged down a couple of milk samples.
All in all, the expo was alright, Zharif had a lot of fun. Admittedly it wasn't as big as I would've liked it to be, but I suppose for a kid's attention span it was just right. It wasn't too packed, so we were able to try almost everything. Hopefully we'll have more expos like this, but with more variety and more collaborators to make it even more interesting. Still, thanks to Mead Johnson for organising this!
