Halloween Horror Night (HHN) 2014

*EXHALE*
*BLOWS*
*DUST FLOWING*
*COUGH*

I have committed a sin, guys.
I have not updated my blog for more than a month!! Goodness gracious my November archive will be none!!!!
So sorry guys, no I did not forget nor give up on my blog, it's just that I have so many things on my hands that I couldn't type (if you get it)
Although this event was in October (last day of October so it's sort of November), I will still add this in my life journal.
School & work has been sucking the joy out of my youth.. You ask me, 'then why did you commit yourself to work??'
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I need some income to feed my expenses that my weekly allowance isn't able to support. No I don't spend on luxurious goods or expensive materials, but why I spend so much per week or should I say per month?
Let me answer that question: I have no idea either.
Probably on food and some miscellaneous items. I'm pretty impulsive.. I'm saving as much as I can now though hahahah. So back to the topic.

So I went to HHN on the last day of the event dates, because my friend thinks there will be fewer people. Erm.. I guess it's the same volume in every dates.

I want to write about the whole event in that 31 October 2014, because there's something I want to rant.

We, a bunch of friends, plan to meet at 7pm at Vivocity and take the monorail to USS. I met Fian at 5pm and we're deciding between taking the train or bus. We took the bus instead.
The bus was moving rather slowly and there was a jam in the expressway. Time was moving faster than the dog (I can't say God) damn bus & I was feeling anxious.
Because some of them are already there and they are not close to me (or should I say I have never spoken to them before)(they're friends of friends). Furthermore I have yet to eat dinner then.
So Fian & I alighted the bus in Bukit Batok because we thought we'd take the cab instead + the Hailo code was still valid which is the $10 code.

Now this is the part.

When using the app Hailo, you don't get a driver immediately. So we searched so like 4-5 times then we got this driver called Mr Lim XXX Wah. Name is not exposed to protect this cabbie & also I don't wanna get sued.
But you get the hunch yah.
We were able get track his taxi in the GPS in the taxi app, which is pretty cool because it tells customers how long more till the cabby arrived at your destination and where is his location.
Apparently, our situation is 'passenger-look-out-for-driver' instead of both ways.
We saw our taxi, I went out the curb and flag it but turns out he just drove past us.
What.

I can't even express my astonishment & the look at Fian's face was rather funny. He flipped the cabby off.
So the taxi driver called me & I explained what the f*ck happened & he was apologising and had to do a big round to pick us up. TIME WASTED.
When he was here, he seemed approachable and then we boarded the cab.
Time picked up: 6.02pm.
He was rather easy to talk to but he did not give an assuring feel to Fian. He said this kind of driver makes him feel unsafe.
Let me explain: this cabbie:
1. Don't know his way (He said it was his second day as a cabbie & he just returned from overseas. How unlucky of us)
2. He relies on GPS; I mean, drivers should not be using phone while driving & even though he was navigating the phone on a phone holder, he kept using other applications which brings to no. 3.
3. He was talking & texting on his phone while driving. & when I meant texting I meant group Whatsapp. I was baffled like what the actual f*ck can you concentrate on your driving?! (Bonus: He was swearing while talking to his other driver friends)
4. He swerved in & out of lane many times. Like umm why do you keep cutting into other drivers & going back in again??
5. He jam breaks. I thought my head was gonna hit the back of the passenger head rest in front of me.
6. This is the best: This driver stray to the OPPOSITE lane DANGEROUSLY. A car did the same so I presumed he thought it'll be safe to do the same. There was a vehicle in front of my taxi so we (including the cabbie) couldn't see if there's any incoming car. There WAS, just that it was not speeding and the distance was enough for that driver to slow down so as to not collide with my taxi.

I was getting annoyed because we still hadn't reached our destination and at that point of time I asked myself 'does this f*cking cabbie knows where is he f*cking going??'

We reached Vivocity's drop-off point at 7.15pm. Took longer than an hour. Wow, bravo. Should've just stayed in the bus. Hailo, I'm disappointed in you.

I felt really bad for making them wait and being so late. I quickly have my dinner so I gobbled down my food and we all head to take the tram.
Wow, the crowd was really no joke. Expected lah, everyone's going for either HHN or Spooks.

Thought the ticket will be in Halloween theme but it's normal

I wanted to take a picture of all our tickets but we were walking in different speed. So only managed to take a photo of mine. d:
The queues to all the Scare Zones & Haunted House was a level higher than the one in Vivo. The person doing the snake queue must be an expert. Sure, the queue was constantly moving but the time spent in the queue v.s. time experiencing the attractions were a little of an unbalanced ratio.

Pardon the poor quality. 

I couldn't afford a good camera

Don't even know why is Khairi there I'm not even close to him

Oh, what is bad about queuing is that there were SO F*CKING MANY PEOPLE wearing the devil horns hairband that keeps blinking that it hurts my eyes.
Up till here, I seem to be negative don't I? Hahahaha the post was filled with rants & complaints..

The 1st Haunted House we went

It was pretty scary! I screamed & the boys hurled vulgarities because they got surprised & it was hella hilarious!! Especially Fian & Rahim xD
I hope the scare actors don't take it to heart, the swearing weren't meant to you!

This actor is really into his character! Very good!

I wonder how long it take to remove the make up..

In total, we went to 3 Haunted House & 2 Scare Zones (or was it 1?).
In between the HH & SZ, there was also another attraction that is like a play. It was really very well-done!! The acting & acrobats were as if done by experts. Unfortunately due to dark lighting and bad camera, the photos I took didn't managed to come out nicely...

I like how the 'monsters' interact with the guests

Hostage in Hell

Some kind of cult chant that is tormenting the sacrifice

Look at how real! Almost called a Bomoh

This was the ending, and the most thrilling part! See the 2 actors held on a rope? It depicts the minions of hell thirsty for fresh blood and the 2 captured victims slowly got dropped lower and lower, until they hit the ground and the minions rush to devour them. I could here the audience gasped as the 2 actors got lower and lower to the ground. 
BRAVO! 

While queuing

Overall, the experience for the day was horrible.. The cabbie, the queue, the hunger.. My sore throat became worst that I had to see the doctor the next day. My voice was already on the verge of becoming mute.
The next day, I noticed I had rashes formed at my back as well as my neck area. Which obviously freaked me out because it was like small tiny bumps and it was the 1st time I had such rashes. I didn't know what I was allergic to. Maybe the fog and the water sprayed at me during the walk in the HH.
Plus the sweat. Yuck.
So I had to see the doctor for my sore throat AND the rashes. Wonderful.
Will I go HHN next year? Maybe not.
Maybe a party or a small private celebration.

Sentosa 4D Adventureland Halloween night: TRAPPED

Good afternoon everyone!
Yes yes yes, it's a fresh post!
I'm sorry I didn't update because I had an ongoing event & that event is over!
That event is not just a day event, a long period of 11 days period.
If you have follow me closely, I have blogged about this excited & scary event!
Yup, it's the Halloween night @ Sentosa!

So the whole of October I was busy every Friday & Saturday, and one Sunday.
I have to make my way down to Harbourfront in the afternoon when the show starts at 7pm.
Well, it's because we need to put on our make-up and eat.
Some of the scare actor's make up took around 2 hours to finish! For instance, mine.
I'll tell you in a bit ;)

I won't be talking about the things that happened from Day 1 all the way to Day 11, I think I'll bore you. d:
So I'm just gonna summarise the best parts of the event.
During the full-dress rehearsal & media preview, I was the Possessed Wife. I took over Nicole's role because she was unable to attend on both days.
It was really fun, you know. Working with Keith, the Priest who is suppose to exorcise me & we were actually acting out the scene for the guests. But towards the end we did our own freestyle & scare the guests our way.
There was a bed & air-con, so I can take occasional breaks. Only when the 4D ride is ongoing then I get to rest. It was very fun, I got praised by my acting skills by the media too! *Beaming with pride*
Yusuf & Natalyn were also in the maze, talking to them during the break is often interesting because they aren't boring. I laughed way too hard.

Some people say I look like a panda, some say I look like I kena beaten by mafia. xD
The make-up got thicker on another day.

The origami hat made by Yoshi!

Gosh I look fat there. See the strangle mark?

My real role was a Ballerina Corpse Bride. The make-up is, whoa, way thicker & harder to wash.
It's not only full-faced, but the neck, back, half arms & sometimes ears.
One day they decided to paint my legs too because they say my legs are 'prominent', as quoted from Shimin, the make-up IC in the committee. So.... let the photos do the talking.

I'm a human canvas

Selfie hehe 

This role is more tiring than the Possessed Wife because it is a roaming character. That means I have to interact & entertain the guests outside. Which is really exhausting. Especially when the queue keeps on stretching.
But you get to take pictures with the guests! ^-^

While waiting for our turn to put on make-up, the committee played movies for us to watch. Sometimes American films, sometimes animation, sometimes horror.
Like Chucky, Conjuring, etc.
But the memory that I cannot forget is when the group of us sat in a circle, and played Charades.
People like Aashna, Natalyn, Baven, Karthik, Johnathan, Renwei, Sean, and more makes the game funny!
I swear I laugh the hardest during the game, I had the time of my life.
I extremely feel satisfied when I laughed to the fullest. Thank you people ;)

There's always something happening every night! Packed with laughter and sarcasm is really a night to have.
Each night is always the same thing: travel to Sentosa, wait for make-up, did make-up. dinner, show, remove make-up, home.
What I look forward to during the show was the bus bay.
We would wait at the bus bay for our respective buses. While we wait, we'll talk & spout nonsense, sarcasm, etc. Again, laughter.
Especially with the 3 douches: Renwei, Kelvin & Johnathan.
They act like real jerks but in a jokingly way I can tolerate. I can talk to them about anything & feel comfortable with it. For instance, small butt. Yes, I have a small butt. :(

The one with cap: John. Team SP: Kelvin. Bloody boy: Renwei

Yup, they are real fun & nice to hang out with!
Here are the rest of the people!

The people there are really outgoing & very open!
There was one day when I was outside talking to John & Daniel. Quah & Xueting were outside using their phone too.
Yusuf came out, look at the situation, turned to me and said, 'how much?'
I was like, 'huh?' Then I look around. HOLY SHIT. It really looked like 'it'!
Karthik came out to smoke, said the same thing to me. =_=
Keith came out & asked Xueting.
BOYS WILL BE BOYS.

During the last day of the event, everyone was like asking me if I have brought an extra set of clothes. I was very confused about the question. End up there was a water splashing joy as the closing ceremony.
They brought in 2 hoses!!! The committee are such asshose (LOL geddit?)
They splashed us coloured water too, I kept telling myself that was not detergent. Because it was blue in colour and it had a pungent smell.
Eew.
I didn't have an extra set because I wasn't informed :( (I didn't attend the previous day).
So oh well..

Shimin gave the ballerinas a box of Macaroons to share!! Thank you so much! :D
There is also Twelve Cupcakes to be shared :)
In the office we watched a video about the progress from Day 1 to Day 11! It was really funny.
The best part of the video? AUDITION CLIPS.
Holy shit I was extremely nervous & embarrassed to see mine. I wanted mine to appear as soon as possible so it can be over and done with quickly. But till the end, the suspense was killing me. But at the end of the video, my part was left out. Turns out they couldn't find my clip so... YAY.
We all laughed at each other's moments. Now that the event is over, I'm kinda sad.
I wanna play man, I don't wanna study.

I didn't regret joining this event. Because this opportunity does not come twice! So I decide to live my life to the fullest, be as colourful as it can be.
Next year, hopefully, my IP team will get this Halloween event as our project!

There will be a post-event party next month! I can't wait! I miss those people already.
Goodbye!
