Happy Halloween
I know All Hallows' Eve is observed on the 31st of October, but the enterprising clubs and restaurants in Singapore have decided to celebrate in advance to take advantage of the ever-precious Singaporeans' weekends.
The few of us decided to put together some blood and horror for the fun of it this year. In order not to frighten our poor innocent family members and canine, we were considerate enough to rent a hotel room for our little dress-up regime. Hee.
Here is Sandy putting sexy black nail polish for a Chinese Vampire who has just hopped in.
Jane looked strangely, or disturbingly ecstatic at being bloodied.
After getting our hands all dirty with white powder and fake blood, all we had to do was wipe them off Jeric's old army fatigues. Ha.
Here are the ghouls checking out and touching themselves up.
Apparently, the vampires (even ancient, traditional, hopping ones) nowadays, are quite tech-savvy.
We took a group shot before leaving the hotel to haunt Robertson Quay.
We strolled along Robertson Quay towards Butter Factory (with the Chinese Vampire hopping along), waving to kids and making them cry. Alas, Butter Factory was for Advanced Reserved Tickets only. Yawn. So, it was out to Zouk we headed.
It was still a little early, and vampires do melt under the hot flourescent lights afterall. Hence, we headed to Winebar for a little respite.
Here is Mister Jiang Shilooking extremely contemplative but was actually thinking what he should order for drinks...
As he sipped his bottle of bloodied drink, a little bloodied french maid (probably brutally murdered) looked on.
Apparently, he must not have quenched his thirst very much because he subsequently tried to go for the french maid's neck. Wrong move, bro. Angry french maids can be very nasty with their feather dusters.
Anyhoo, we soon joined the extremely slow-moving costume queue at Zouk... The queue was hardly moving, and the humid temperature made it quite unbearable. I pitied those who came in furry costumes or long sleeved robes.
We got bored in the queue and took pictures aplenty.
A group shot!
Individual shots of us all...
Jeric, all zipped up as the ghostly image in the mirror. In fact, he was nominated as one of the finalists for the Best Costume. Too bad he didn't win.
Jane, the post-natal-depressed and deranged mother, holding a postively creepy baby that cried 'Mama, Mama' if you pressed its belly.
Lloyd, the rosy-cheeked chinese vampire who couldn't stop twiddling his pigtail.
Sandy, the sexy bloodied french maid who was probably murdered in a gruesome manner while dusting the cabinets.
Me, recycling my veil from Halloween in USA (Kids, remember to reuse, reduce, recycle! :P), as the corpse bride.
We all know Alvin hates how he looks, but also no need to 想不开 ma!
When we finally reached the entrance, we were subjected to extreme scrutinity by the Zouk bouncers who seemed rather stringent with their requirements this year. Our scary Chinese Vampire and Deranged Mother didn't make the cut! Apparently, The Chinese Vampire had on trendy leather shoes while our Deranged Mother was wearing funky boots. So next time you want approval, make sure you are suited to the tee. Every detail should be observed! I think Sandy and me barely made it through for the free entry. Haa. We frantically slapped on loads of blood in effort to look more frightful.
After obtaining our entries, we headed down to a private Halloween party held at a friend's condominium. We were, however, rather over-dressed in there. They had games that required us running around. Our costumes weren't made for running! Grr.
The party had people in cliques voting for themselves, so I didn't think it was any fair or fun. Still, I applaud the organizers for their hard work and effort put in. It must be quite a chore, getting the costumes, set ups and food.
The sexy devils with very skinny legs.
Costume finalists strutting their stuff.
The ladies took some shots together...
The Scream guy got coerced into posing with us, looking rather lost.
Us, scary ladies again. Mess with us and we will haunt ya! >:D
And... it was back to Zouk for us, to see if Jeric wins any prizes as the Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Zouk was a fiesta of laughable costumes and funny antics.
Ooo, looky, the chinese vampires reunion!
I managed to catch a person in tudung dancing madly on the stage, I am not sure if it infringes any religious regulations. Hmm. And guess what, some monk actually has the audacity to fratenize with a sexy looking devil on the platform.
I find this couple extremely creepy. They would stroll quietly into the middle of the dance floor and slowly open their paper umbrella to shield themselves from the blinding disco lights. All this while keeping a poker-straight face. What feat!
Oh, if you are missing a 红中 from your mahjong tiles, it could be dancing wildly in Zouk.
This emperor is the epitome of the phrase "Smiling in the face of adversity." Please applaud.
Our chinese vampire gets thirsty for milk. Got milk?
I enjoyed the antics of three air stewardesses who were dancing and performing in-flight instructions on the platform. They were particularly funny to watch. Alas, I didn't get a picture of them. Right after they got down, three hairy-chested busters immediately hopped on to rock the crowd.
I say they should get better double-sided tapes because they kept hitting their chest in attempt to get the hairy tuff to stick. Wahaha.
We were soon quite weary, and headed upwards to find seats. Along the way, we saw a giantic Lego Man.
Just as we were getting thirsty, our dream came true in the size of a supersized MacDonald Coke.
.. with fries to boot!
Suddenly, a group of ski-masks cladded terrorists stormed and hijacked the party.
Haa. Well, at least they pretended to be. I was soon quite exhausted after this, comfortably nested on my chair, reluctant to take any more pics. Instead, people randomly came by to request for picture-taking. I guess that is the fun of it all.
We endured till the Best Costume results were announced, which disappointedly didn't include Jeric. Heh.
Dragging our weary feet, we cabbed back to some much needed cleaning, washing and shut eye. Even ghouls need a break.
Happy Halloween, everyone...

And we definitely need a break from all the snoring from the Chinese Vampire next to us! *lol*
I'd have passed off as a Zombie without having even to dress up! Lack of sleep - part of the "brothers team" for my newly wed friend.
