 Boys and girls, this is a Meh'leth ... an elegant weapon, for a more civilised time! |
 Lelong ... two antique rotary-dial telephone set, and a high-tech 24th-century Commbadge, for sale! |
 How could one carry such a burden in battles? ... thumb down. |
 Worf calling Klingon homeworld, "Beam me back, Qo'noS!" |
 "You are tuning in FM 170.1, prepared to be assimilated ..." |
 Yesterday cellphone ... today handphone. (Hey, who left his handphone here?) |
 Yesterday cellular phone ... future Tricorder! |
 Hmm, a primitive binary system communication device ... |
 The latest series of handphone models, each comes with a 2-year contract ... |
 The owner of the handphone is finally revealed ... |
 The visitors loved the Klingon, always! |
 Worf is being "assimilated" by the big pile of information overload. |
 Touch sensitive game ... let the fun begin, Qa'pla! |
 Oh my gosh, isn't this the "Beryllium Sphere" in the Galaxy Quest? |
 Hmm, my tricorder reading shows that it was constructed by the "Thermian". |
 Worf to Bridge, we have found a warp core! |
Having fun with staff and crew ...

 The Klingon was quite welcomed among the crew, staff and helpers at the Exhibition. |
 Charming ... see how happy the Klingon was.
|
 it must be a chance of a life time taking a picture with a smiling Klingon. |
 Qa'pla! The success of the first image attracted more crew to join in for one last group photo ... |
 With so many people "squeezed" in, where's the Klingon huh? |
