Halloween Sunday At Singapore Flyer

We seem to be having an overdose of Halloween this year... and we are enjoying it!  To be honest, this is the first time that we are into Halloween...  In the past, we have never bothered about it whenever we see huge pumpkins being sold in Cold Storage... it's like...  oh... Halloween's here again....  period.  It has never occurred to us that Halloween could be SUCH FUN!!!

We were not aware that there was this Halloween thingy going on at the Singapore Flyer...  It was a last minute decision to detour to Singapore Flyer as I wanted to show Daddy the shops and restaurants there since he has never been to that area...  and we were in for a pleasant ghoulish surprise!

our first encounter....

babe was super scared of this... she freaked out and started screaming and running round daddy when this guy suddenly appeared and stood beside her... haha....  check out her facial expression...

amanda was exceptionally afraid of this corpse bride too...  especially when she touched her face.... eeeewwww!!!!!

can you see???

amanda had so much fun at this station...  art & craft... her favourite!

she patronised this station twice and got 2 cone-full of candies...

the misty effect....

aarrrrggghhhhh!!!!!!!

having her fortune told....  she asked "will i get 100 marks for my maths?"... heehee...  such a cute and innocent question....  daddy and i had ours told too...  daddy's 60% accurate....  mine...  errrr....  only 10% accurate... haha... anyway, it's just for the fun of it....   :))

i had my express manicure done there too...  every activity there was FOC... free of charge!!!!  how nice!!

amanda having her air brush tattoo done..... 

and she queued 3 or 4 times to get all these tattoos done....  she had so much fun!

amanda stared in awe as the caricaturist drew....

and....  tada!!!.....  the sim family portrait.....

We had so much fun there and we stayed till almost 10.00 pm that night....  Never expected and imagined that an impromptu last minute decision to detour into the car park of Singapore Flyer could lead us to so much fun, thrill and excitement....  Evening really well spent, regardless of the fact that Amanda had Chinese Exam the next day....   *smiles*....  You must be thinking... what an irresponsible parents we are ya?... haha.... 

by the way... amanda scored 48.5 marks out of 50 marks for that chinese paper which she sat for the next day....  excellent!!!....  at least that doesn't make us guilty parents afterall...  heeheehee.....

Happy Halloween 2009

We organised a Kids' Halloween Party for Amanda and her friends; a lovely bunch of 7 year old kids (except for a cute little 5 year old girl) on 18 October 2009...  We initially wanted to hold the party on the actual day 31 October but did not do so because it was the exam week of the kids....  

Lots of preparation were done including the decoration, games, prizes for games, goodie bags, food and halloween music etc etc....  Special thanks goes to Kevin who helped me with the music...  Thank you Kevin!

A big THANK YOU to the kids and their parents too... for their co-operation in dressing up their lovely kids according to the theme (we had little devils, pirates, witches, vampires, fairies, princesses, swan lake ballerina, butterflies etc. for the night) and hence making this Halloween Party such a great success!

The Preparation

halloween lollies...

mini cupcakes in the making....

goodie bags... supposedly to look like pumpkins and the green string as the leaves...

we put in a lot of effort to decorate the house....

Our Food

ghoulish names for our food....

aren't the mini cupcakes cute?...

ghost marshmallows... which didn't quite look like...

candy corns, pumpkins and chocolate eyeballs....

fresh eyeballs for dessert.... any takers?

vampire's blood.... which needed lots of re-filling... the kids loved it!

It's Party Time!!!

the 2 cousins... little vampire and vampiress....

the kids loved this game as this game was played in total darkness with the halloween music on....  cool!

our little guest... the first to arrive, and the last to leave....

The party was a great success, and considering the fact that this is my first time organising a Halloween Party!  The kids enjoyed themselves so so much and they loved the games prizes I got for them too.... e.g. disney stationery sets, princess pencil cases, hello kitty pouches, winnie the pooh water bottles, glitter pens, mechanical pencils, disney colour pencils etc etc....  

I'm now thinking of doing a Christmas Costume party for the kids in December....  Hmmm.... we'll see how it goes...

The complete set of photographs can be found in the slides below......  lots and lots of them....  so enjoy!!!
