Having back pain recently. Will feel the pain when I sit, walk and stand too long. Hope it's not a relapse of my slip disc.

Changed NTD for our Taiwan holiday at Fountain money change. They offer 1 of the better exchange rate in SG. 23.3NT for $1.

We can order just 1 piece for each type of dim sum instead of ordering 3.

Halloween Night 2013

Morning date with Mil. Shopping and brunch with her at JEM. Takan her to treat us. Hehe.













Cute little crab at NTUC.
Getting ready to go to USS Halloween Night.
At USS Halloween Night. It was our first time attending the USS Halloween event. The place was super pack. Was already sweating before we start the Horror adventure.




This year's theme is of 3 Sisters of Evil - the Maiden of the Opera haunting in the wings, the Crone of the Forest lurking within the shadows and the Daughter of the Undead prowling amongst tombstones.
The special zones and haunted houses that are specially for Halloween Night

SCARE ZONES:
Forbidden Forest
Convention of Curses
Attack of the Vampires

HAUNTED HOUSES
Songs of Death 
Possessions
Adrift 

We need to enter Forbidden Forest (Scare Zone 1) before we can get to Songs of Death (Haunted House). Kennie and Videl were like shouting non stop when the ghosts/ghouls pounced out of the bushes.


Entering Songs of Death and phototaking with the ghosts. Phototaking is not allowed but the ghosts wont stop us. It's the USS staffs who will stop us from phototaking.



Scare Zone 2. Convention of Curses.











Scare Zone 3. Attack of the Vampires.







Overall, the Halloween is quite a good experience but the waiting time can be a killer. Waited for almost 2 hours for Adrift.  It's basically modeled after a sunken cruise liner. We really feel like we are in a ship, the unstable and rocky feeling while we walked. 

Only get to ride the Transformer ride as we were busy conquering the haunted houses and scare zones to take notice of the rides. But imo, all haunted houses and scare zones are quite similar. The ghosts will just hide and come out suddenly to scare us. Kind of bored after a while. Heard that Sentosa Spectacular is quite fun as well. Will consider going next year.
