Monday, October 15, 2012 - [random FB pics]
I've had a sudden urge to write, so I'm writing about 3 things I've posted in FB, of course people must have seen all these some where but it's just worth talking about for fun :x
The pumpkin looks deliciously cute and evil enough to frighten little kids but not so much as to intimidate them from coming and asking for candy. I'm so looking forward to Halloween Fright Night at Movie World some time next week.
Halloween has always struck me as an odd event, but since I am away from SG, I might as well experience it with the Trick or Treating, costume parties and spooking. I hope to see a house actually get toilet-papered too LOL. I shall be mentally prepared to scream and cry at FrightNight but I guess what Royston says is true, scaring yourself once in a while can be good. I mean life is so mundane and routine, festivals like this spruce up your life.
This picture is just soooo adorable, I actually salute the girl for going up and hugging the mascot. When I was about that age I would cry horribly when such huge things came up to me. Then again I have an irrational fear of abnormally large things and as a child a mascot is way out of proportion .. I cried almost every time I saw a Lion Dance when I was young even up to about 12 years old, honestly thinking it would eat me up. Sometimes I wish I was a braver kid and that I could take in the joy of mascots like this little girl.
That's such a brilliant way of capturing the Starbucks van. No offense!
too much space above the van though!

Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - [EKKA 2012]
Here's the extremely late post about the Ekka. As promised last last night, I'm here to write properly @@" sooo many things to cover today, probably 3 posts, but you'll be reading the posts 'backwards' in time so this sentence doesn't make sense now. So last last Monday, huixin, wanting, weiqin and I took the bus to RBWH station and walked to the fairgrounds.
I've organized this post in the different types of activities but it's not chronological, so pardon the different lighting from different times of the day, some of the pictures have realllly dark clouds, but thank goodness it didn't rain. Infact it hasn't rained for like a month or so in Brizzy. :o And I'm also blogging from school, so no editting software here D:
Family photo of us three, taitai parents and a guanying kid [:
All the spectacular rides in the Ekka, most of which we didn't ride on because you have to pay for each ride and I guess they weren't as adventurous as I was but who likes sitting on extreme rides alone? ):
The icon of all funfairs.
This actually looks like a very cool ride, its a rotating viking, it's curved in the same way, but while your going up and down swinging, the entire carriage spins so it's double the fun hahahaa.
This appeared to be the scariest ride imo, because the carriage kinda hangs by a pivot and it twists and turns at random. And it's gotta be pretty dangerous that's why the riders are caged up.
My favourite kind of ride, the suspended chairs, or the giant swing, whatever haha, this one is high up in the air! I Boy it was sooooo cold sitting on that :o !
We walked to the "More Ekka" section with all kinds of exhibits with fruits, dogs, horses, cows, goats etc.
Got your tickets? Time to ride!
A pretty mild but fun ride, the carriage whirled in a few circles whilst going down the coaster tracks.
Landlubbers.
This statue moved suddenly and you can imagine the screams.
and this dude too. LOL.
Souvenirs from the Ekka? Plenty available and the Triple M Pavillion ~ Decided to buy a funky hat for the fun of it, it was cheap anyway, also from the showbag pavillion.
Basically a big bag of goodies ranging from $15 - $30. I got the Bart's Super Bag
for dengyin and myself 'cause the stuff in there is soooo darn cute and it comes with a Dartboard :D Also bought the Loony Toons bag for meimei, though I doubt her generation knows who they are..
Who's hungry? The strawberry sundae is a MUST TRY.
Have you ever seen a Slinky Apple?
wandered to the Kids area of the Ekka too.
and we played some games too in hopes to win this!
Failed miserably though..
I can only think about youuuuu~
and youuuu..
This is the game that looks the easiest yet seems to be the toughest and the most successful in sucking our money.
On Tuesday night, I did return to the Ekka with Sebastian, his gf and Weiyang and Clumsy Smurf was won from here, the water shooting game.
and Papa Smurf was won from basketball~
No picture of 'Poker' game where I got the GIANT TEDDY with 4aces and 1king. whoopp.
The Ekka is great fun for family and friends, just remember to bring lotsa CASH, you're gonna need it. The fireworks are also very very very nice, be sure to be at the stadium before 8pm to catch the Car and Bike stunts before the amazing display.
