All spooked out!

Singapore seems to adopt any festival they can - halloween is quite big here. Our halloween festivities included two halloween/birthday parties, trick or treat night and a condo party night. Management did the Condo function room up as a haunted house which inlcuded a mummy lying on the floor that grabbed your foot as you walked through and vampire that jumped out at you. They also had a lot of activities and games for the kids. Trick or treat was done the next night. Matt took the kids around the condo knocking on the doors that displayed the trick or treat sign. Of course we have way too much "candy" now. I stayed back at the apartment to hand out treats to the other condo kids who dared to knock on our door. I dressed up as a witch which really just required me wearing a black dress and brushing my hair so it went frizzy! I looked quite authentic - had I lived in the middle ages I would definitely have been thrown in a well. I cooked up a big pot of spaghetti noodles, let them cool and the kids had to find their treat by fishing through the "worms". I had fun and probably only turned up in a few kids nightmares. Photos below include one of our front door which we decorated with cobwebs, warning signs and fake rats, mice, cockroaches and snakes.

Christmas decorations are going up all along Orchard Road and in the malls so I think we now move onto the next festival.
