Halloween Horrors at Night Safari - Alvinology

Halloween Horrors at Night Safari

This Halloween the Singapore Night Safari has a closet full of scares awaiting visitors, as it transforms into a giant ‘Haunted Forest’ with spooks at every corner. Over four weekends, from 10 October to 1 November 2008, the entire park will be Halloween themed, with activities running mainly on Fridays and Saturdays.

I had the privilege of going down to experience the event last Friday, on the first night, together with twenty lucky bloggers and the omy editorial team. 🙂

We were treated to hop onto the “Train of Terror” tram ride, operated specially for Halloween. Initially, I thought it will just be senseless costume ghosts jumping out to scare the wits out of everyone; instead, I was pleasantly surprised that the folks at the Night Safari managed to weaved in a moral and educational narrative into the scares.

There are also many random costumed ghosts walking around the park, out to haunt you. Their acting is quite convincing and professional. Some of the bloggers tried to lure them to laugh by joking with them, but to no avail as they are too into their characters.

Here are some photos to share:

  1. It wasn’t for me. 🙂 I don’t think it was scary for most people too. Yeah, there were frights here and there, but overall it was a fun experience as everyone knows it’s staged mah.

大雨

“大雨大雨一直下 地上有个大水洼。。。” 没有看到林志颖的野菊花,却有看到许多国人束手无策的表情。 常在新闻看到别的国家在淹水,也曾听过老一辈诉说新加坡以前也常淹水。却没想到当今的新加坡也会淹水,而且还淹到乌节路市区去。 国人怪政府,政府怪PUB,PUB怪天气。问题没有迅速解决的方法。 前天我上班途中,又是倾盆大雨,巴士迟来,德士不见踪影。我心想着,不知那儿又淹水了。 新加坡人一直很幸福,天气不怎么变动,不需要注重天气预报。如今我国淹水淹得这么厉害,以后天一开始下雨,人们就会心有余悸,不知哪一户人家会遭殃。 外头大雨直下,出门前也多了份顾虑。同样的大雨,一年前和现在,却带着不同的感触。
