I have so many things update from my post-audit to the recent Halloween Horror Nights I went with the fiancé and girlfriends + friends. Since Halloween is only yesterday and is still fresh in my memory, that will be the first to be updated in my entry today.
👻 👻 👻
I was working yesterday and I never really like it not vacuuming and mopping the house on the weekends. I find by the time when weekends come, the house is as dusty and sticky as it is. So yesterday, I ended work by 2pm. We could have ended earlier but sadly, the amount of specimens was craaaaazy and I am the one schedule to work the next day which is today. Tsk! Why patients choose to be sick this week?
So my girlfriends (Pag couldn't make it) decided to meet at 5.30pm at Vivocity to have dinner first before heading for Halloween. I told D, I cannot be late to meet my friends since I have a "reputation" to keep. "Reputation" as in I am always early when meeting my friends and have always been the first to reach each time. But despite telling him all that, we were still late by half an hour. Hahahaha! But it is okay because Amanda is always late anyway, so we will end up waiting for her too. Hehe!
So when both D and I reached Vivocity, Hana have already finished her dinner with her 2 other Uni mates, Trish & Mel (who is also coming for Halloween). And Manda & boyfriend, WM had food coma from their lunch. Thus, it was only left with D and I to grab our dinner.
I could actually skipped dinner because I was feeling still quite full from my lunch. I had Nasi Lemak for lunch at work (bought my dispatch) and my manager gave her chicken away to me because she couldn't finish it. And I had a leftover boil egg from the day before. Thus, I end up eating 3 chickens + 2 eggs. Eyes became bigger than stomach already. And I kinda drank two coffees? before leaving house just so that I could hike up my energy level for Halloween since I know we are going to do a lot of walking & running and end pretty late as well. Honestly, as I
But well, I still bought my favourite Chicken Ramen Noodles from the Korean stall at Kopitiam just to accompany D ate and I was also afraid that I might feel hungry later on. So yeah! And oh! D had his usual, rice. Looks like Nasi Lemak I think. I can't remember.
After dinner, I told D I wanted the Godiva ice-cream for dessert. JM have always talked about how nice that ice-cream is and I have always wanted to try it. BUT...that ice-cream cost me a freaking dress. 9 bucks for an ice-cream?! Crazy! Knowing that my fiancé like to pamper me (Okay maybe I THINK he likes to pamper me. Hehehe! Or maybe I just made that up? Hahaha!) He treated me to one. Dark Chocolate flavoured. Oh before I even get to buy that ice-cream, I had to go through an inquest from the fiancé asking me if the ice-cream was Halal or not. I mean like how can I forgot that part of him who have always been this particular. I just kept silent while he tried to google his way and found one link that says it was Halal (no idea where he got it from) but Godiva doesn't have a Halal cert. 😜😆 But it's just ice-cream !!! So I got the ice-cream! Yay! Hehehehe! And it was super duperly chocolaty nice when towards the end, it makes me feel super jelak. Probably because I had such a soupy dinner and was feeling quite bloated already. So I gave 3/4 of the ice-cream to D for him to eat a bit and hoping to get the last bit of the ice-cream cone (which is my favourite part) but NOPE! My fiancé ate them all.
And then he purposely went "Kkk...I buy you another one later." So I gave him a fast rebut "No. No more already." 🙄🙄🙄
No idea why this picture is this way. 
Halloween Horror Nights (HHN)
We decided to walk to RWS via the boardwalk just to save our 4 bucks. Well 4 bucks plus a dollar could buy me a bowl of Chicken Ramen Noodle okay. 10 minutes walk and we finally reached RWS. By then, there were so many people there and we couldn't figure the queue to enter USS for the Halloween Horror nights, when Manda finally figured the queue entrance. We waited for about 5 minutes and by 7.30pm, the gate was opened for us to enter USS.
They had an 'Opening ceremony' or rather a show before officially allowing us to start exploring the haunted houses. More of like you know clubbing kind of music and some Halloween props performances. So my girlfriends started dancing away and so did I. When D pinched me hard on the arm. SO PAINFUL!! And he went "Wah! Clubbing pe ni?! Suka eh?!" So I stopped lorr. Later he discover more of me-self how I am when I'm with my friends. Tsk! This is even scary than Halloween. Hahaha! So from this, I probably can assume D will never enter a club or even go for clubbing for the record.
- He cannot stand loud music
- He is always tired to stay up in the wee hours for clubbing
- He don't drink, well never did I
- He cannot stand squeezy & hot places
- He cannot dance. Well, I don't know if he can, maybe he just don't dance. Lol!
Now here is the trick or tips to conquer all the haunted house yet not buying an expensive express pass ticket but just a one entry normal pass ticket.
1) Choose to go on a later date towards the end of HHN event, by then there will be lesser people going for HHN because kanchiong & kiasu people will definitely want to be the first to go to HHN.
2) Choose a day whereby they end much later than usual. Usually on days like Saturday they end one hour or half an hour later compared to other days.
3) Please be early to maximize the whole 6 hours there. You honestly, need those 6 hours to finish all the haunted houses and if you're lucky you'll get to take 1 or 2 of the USS rides.
4) Well it's not a must to run but in order to conquer all/most of the haunted houses you HAVE to run to your first haunted house. This is to get the best queue and be as in front as possible to enter the first haunted house. Once you're done with the first haunted house (should only take 30 minutes of waiting time at MOST, if you run). Be prepared, because the next few houses will take 90 minutes to 110 minutes worth of queuing time.
5) Run to the furthest haunted house from the entrance. Because usually people will enter the nearest haunted house as their first haunted house, this also means you have to wait very very long.
6) If you don't get to buy a cheaper tickets towards nearing the HHN, don't worry. There is always Carousel for you to recce for cheaper tickets at least. Hehehehe!
If you have better other tactics than this, why not share right?
So altogether, there were 5 haunted houses there, 2 scare zones and there were some attraction rides that were opened yesterday. So, Amanda lay out her strategy on how to conquer 👆🏼 the haunted house which was deem awesome and we followed suit. So we all ran all the way to the end of USS to catch the furthest haunted house first.
Bodies of Work (Haunted House) - Join artist Damien on his trip down memory lane as he unveils his latest exhibition, and appreciate all the blood, swear and tears it took to create his own and most complete bodies of work.
I was feeling a little bit nervous to enter the first haunted house. It took us about 30 minutes to enter this haunted house. I am not scared when I see those "ghost". Like I mentioned before, I know they are real humans behind those masks and make-up, just that I don't fancy when they suddenly appear out of nowhere and do the scaring bit. I just don't favour much that part. Other than that, I quite enjoy this first haunted house. It was one of the best that I enjoyed. Gives me the scare that I decided to close my eyes and hold onto D while inside. HAHAHA! Waste money, what I see like that? And I know the brochure doesn't say much but the part I remember most about this haunted house. Alert! Spoiler alert! There were clowns (beware those who are afraid of clowns) and the carousel thingy which made us go round and round inside the haunted house. It was truly truly awesome!!!
Suicide Forest (Scare Zones) - Some say an evil spirit lurks in the Suicide Forest, calling desolate souls to their death ... but no one knows for sure. That's because no one has returned to tell the tale.
I think we wasted 45 minutes of our time at this scare zones which doesn't have anything much. It was literally like an "abandon" trail of forest, nothing of any scary part happenings. We were just going in circles. Zzz! But it was an experience though, like literally walking into a deserted forest, but still the fact that we did waste our time here. I could literally walk elsewhere.
Old Changi Hospital (Haunted House) - Patients who don't know they are dead. Soldiers who still scour the wards for enemies. Empty morgues that are not really empty. They all await you at the iconic Old Changi Hospital.
It took us 90 minutes waiting time to enter this haunted house. Of all haunted house, I was looking forward to this more than anything else. I have always wanted to have a feel of being in a hospital that has been deserted or have the spook. The pre-entrance to this place was like a 'dark deserted building' which represented the old hospital and it look super super spooky that Mel got so scared and she didn't want to enter at all. And upon seeing some of the Halloween scares outside the building among the trees, Trish then U-turn out of the queue and left. But I was kind of disappointed with this one. It was supposed to make me feel scared but it didn't really have much scare to it. Can't beat the first haunted house we went. But I remember holding on to Hana's hand on my left and D's hand on the right. LOL! So I felt super safe. Alert! Spoiler alert! Maybe one thing, I SLIGHTLY like was the 'mortuary' part because we were feeling superly duperly hot and that place was air-conditioned!! So cooling but not that cooling when the mortuary opened and someone just came out to scare us. HAHAHA! And at the end of the trail, just before we left. There were soldiers who was supposed to look scary like they were from the dead. BUT!!!! That guy who dressed up as the dead soldier holding on to a shovel was good-looking can?! (No idea if he will be working for every Halloween nights) HAHAHAHAHA! I forgot D was with me, the moment I saw the 'dead soldier', I turned to Hana and Amanda with excitement and went "Eh look! Look! That soldier good looking siaaaaaa!" And Hana and Amanda give a double take on him and Amanda being Amanda went "Wahhh! Eh my friend said you good looking ehhh." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Haizz! Recalling how our poly days felt like when we behave like this. I have no idea what was the 'dead soldier' response to Amanda, I couldn't even ask her because D was already staring back at me after that. HAHAHA! But I know my fiancé would not waste time feeling upset or affected with such thingy. He is good like that, never the excessive overly jealous kind. And the rest tried to "calm" the situation telling D "Okay, okay, after this you go look for pretty ghost." And he was like "Yah!" Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha! 😂

I was feeling thirsty at this point of time and so D bought me a mineral water which cost him $6.90. Omigod! Such a rip off! The same bottle sold at 7-11 cost only $4.90. Haiz! 😔 The person even asked us, if we wanted to buy a $20 mineral water with unlimited refill. Like whatttt. But we decided not to, as I know there were water coolers around. Moral of the story is to bring your own water bottle next time!
Hu Li's Inn (Haunted House) - Step inside Hu Li's Inn, set in the swinging 1930s of Old Shanghai. Your fate is in the hands - or should we say, claws? - of these beautiful nocturnal beasts.
This haunted house took a toll on us. We queued for 2 freaking hours for this since 10.30pm. Since, Mel and Trish did not go for the Old Changi Hospital haunted house, so they went over to queue first for this and by the time we're done with the Old Changi Hospital haunted house, we met Trish and Mel in the line. And we were able to "jumped" over 1,000 over people in the queue. (I don't know if 1,000 is over exaggerating but it felt like 1,000 people.) And of course, some of them were not happy at us for "jumping the queue" and went "Eh!!! Queue starts from behind! Oi! Queue behind lah! Oi oi oi! Queue behind lah!!!" You stupid or what?! It's not like as if we all go inside the haunted house ONE by ONE. It's with groups and per batches what. So, adding 6 of us in the line won't make any difference, you are still going to get inside the haunted house the same time that you're supposed to enter and together with your friends. Gundu! Ignore the jeering, we just stayed in our line. Despite Trish & Mel queuing up first, it still took us 2 freaking hours man! While in line, Manda was initially a bit upset that WM didn't want to join this haunted house since he left the queue to head to the toilet and didn't want to join back. And D was already feeling super tired too. I could see it in his face and I really felt really sorry for him. He wanted to not continue queuing up as well but to me it would be such a waste to pay 50 bucks and not going for the haunted house. It's as good as throwing the 50 bucks down the drain. Plus, he paid for me as well. If I leave the queue with him, because of him, it's as good as throwing the 100 bucks away. People work so hard to earn $100 sehhhh. I was also feeling quite tired and cranky as well BUT I was driven to really conquer the haunted houses.
This place is 2nd best after Bodies of Work. I love how they make the room pitch dark one moment and let us walk blindly. HAHAHAHA! We were literally holding on to each other to walk. Oh! The adrenaline rush. And lots and lots of mirrors that add on to the scariness feeling. Alert! Spoiler alert! I too like the shaking bridge they have inside this haunted house. The bridge literally shake and you get to feel like scary earthquake kind. I likeeeee!
Salem Witch House (Haunted House) - Maison Deux-Six, the witch house of the Defeo Witches in Salem, has stood untouched and abandoned since 1692. But a group of modern-day witchcraft enthusiasts have awakened something within...
By the time we queue for this house, there weren't many people anymore. So it took us about 45 minutes to finish queuing up for this. D's back was already hurting so bad, so while in line, I tried to massage his back hoping to make it better. Haiz! I really feel sorry for him again BUT...I just wanted to conquer the haunted house. This haunted house is maybe my 3rd liking to the rest of haunted houses. Alert! Spoiler alert! This part too have some of the room going pitch dark and you have to walk in the dark. Hahahaha! And I love Vampire and Witches kind. Probably only once, I felt slightly disturbed when one of this witch who was sitting down carrying a baby and jumped out from her seat and make that 'pontianak' laughter. Errrr. So I just hugged D all the way while inside the haunted house. I love how on point their make-up was and they look so pretty! Especially one of this witch, she was hanging on astick just before we exited. After we left, Hana, Manda, Trish & Mel was asking D, "So how? Got pretty ghost or not?! Pretty right?" And D went "Yahhh! Pretty." 🙄🙄🙄 Suka hati kau lah nak.
By the time when we finished conquering all 4/5 haunted houses, it was already 1am. 30 minutes before the whole place close. I knew D wanted to make a move first if he could but I was hoping that we do not. So he did sacrifice and accommodate so much for me and stayed with my friends. 😢 *So touched* We didn't really care much about the last haunted house - Hawker Centre Massacre because we already plan to strike it off the list thinking we won't have enough time and it won't be as nice compared to the rest of the haunted houses.
Transformers The Ride (Attraction Ride)
Instead of conquering the last house, we took about 30 minutes to queue up for Transformer ride. It was good as usual but I don't know why I felt slightly frightened riding Transformers and was screaming at the top of my voice. Hahaha! Maybe I was overwhelm with scariness. And I anticipate the scary last drop, the part that was supposed to make me feel more scared but suddenly I felt too tired and I kinda "knockout" during the ride and stopped screaming. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! So I felt nothing after that. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Kental sehhhh.
By the time, it was already 1.30am and guess what? Both D and I have to work the next day. Yes, ona Sunday.
As we made our way back to the exit of USS, we saw the last haunted house - Hawker Centre Massacre was about to close and the USS crew was announcing to us to make a quick run to enter before they finally close the gate to that haunted house. Amanda, WM and I kind of hesitated to go. I really wanted to! But I'm afraid I'll make D more upset and cranky if I were to go. But trust me, I would have run and go for it if D wasn't around. Hehehehe! But it was okayyyyy, I guess not my rezeki lorrr. Anyway, my HHN was paid for. So I should be at least thankful than feel nothing right?While the rest stroll and took their time to head for Starbucks, RWS to buy some drinks, D and I made our way back to Vivocity first. Even the girls saw how tired D was. Upon reaching Vivocity, the queue for Taxi was crazy there. It was then, after all the fun was gone, I finally felt pain. I finally felt super lethargic to walk. My feet was hurting, my butt was extremely cramp, my body was screaming in pain and I was feeling quite cranky. Despite D being the most tired one, he still asked me out of concern if I was feeling okay and then we walked slowly to Harbourfront where the taxi queue was not so crazy. But in the end, we called for a cab instead and D sent me home safely, paying for the cab fare too like always.
Sometimes I want to be angry or upset with him like wanting to leave the HHN earlier and be a spoil sport but sometimes the things he does and sacrifice for me like making sure I'm home safe, treating me often and even though he was tired, he still will really really TRY so much for me. The things he will do to make me happy (even though I have to tell him what to do since he is not very auto and oblivious to many things) just to please me, always surpasses my anger and dismay I have for him. At the end of the day, I know I can always count on him somehow minus some days when he can really annoy me.
Anyway, sidetrack what happened in the cab:-
Taxi uncle: Ada apa eh sini? Ada show eh? Ramai betul orang.
Me: Oh tak lah. Ada Halloween night dekat Universal Studio cik.
Taxi Uncle: Oh! Padanlah cik tgk ramai betul orang kat Sentosa dengan Harbourfront dah berapa hari ni. Sampai bila eh benda ni?
Me: Sampai end month cik.
*Started calling his other taxi friends..
Taxi Uncle: Ehh, korang turun ni World Trade Centre. Ramai orang kat sini. Ni aku baru angkat orang kat sini. Diorang ada Heroin night ah kat sini. Heroin, Heroin night yang hantu-hantu tu.
Alamak. We ain't one drug dealer uncle. 😐😐

I went to HHN 3 years back and it was quite boring, mostly were just walking trails and people scaring you that way. But as they progress after years now, they added more props and more interesting things now. And I don't mind going for HHN again next year. But this time probably we find or buy tickets that allow us to go for few days AT LEAST, so that we don't have to rush like crazy in a day to finish everything. It may be slightly expensive but probably worth it I guess. And I don't mind bringing D along again the next time, provided he wants to come and not being cranky and all.
Alhamdulilah.What we missed:-
