Where to experience Halloween for free in Singapore ?

Boo !
Being a really cheapstake me, today I'm going to share about

 WHERE TO GET A FREE THRILL OF HALLOWEEN IN SINGAPORE. 

I'm sure you have read my entry about the Halloween Horror Nights 3, but nothing is better than having a feel of it for yourself. Afterall, it's over $60, a lot of money lei.

Thanks for the collaboration between Universal Studios Singapore and Cathay Cineleisure, get a free thrill by them when you pop up Cathay Cineleisure Basement one. Actually I think it is quite a good way to impress your timid girl friends. #boystakenote.

Well I call that a #cheapthrill, free and get the trick of what might be happening in one of the haunted houses in Universal Studios! It is a minute or two's walk, I suggest you go before dinner.

I went there alone and I was quite scared... #cowardcells. 
In fact, I got a little dizzy even though it was quite short.
I'm not telling you much about what's in the house, not gonna spoil the fun.


Up for it and ready for more?
You can make your purchase for the Halloween Horror Night USS there too.


To avoid disappointment, do note down the dates for the cheapthrill.


  • 19-22 Sep
  • 26-29 Sep
  • 3-6 Oct
  • 17-20 Oct
  • Thursdays- 5om to 9pm 
  • Fridays to Sundays - 12pm to 9 pm.


I hope you have fun and not see things. *wink.

Halloween Horror Nights, Universal Studios Singapore!

Tricks or Treats?!
It's the time of the year where it's Halloween again !


These few years, there are more and more Halloween events ongoing in Singapore during the Halloween "season", and I'm glad that I had already went for the Halloween Horror Night at USS, courtesy of Cineleisure !



Thank you Cineleisure X Universal Studios Singapore, I went to experience the night together with my #cnos2 peeps last Saturday! I was a little upset when I got to know that we are not allowed to dress up. :(
I wanted to wear like my lolita.....

 Brought Adeline along for the event !

This year's Halloween Horror Night has 3 scare zones and 3 haunted houses.
It is easy to locate them because each scare zone is put next to a haunt house. 

No photography/ videography are allowed in the haunted houses.
Well me being me , bo bian just take pictures with the scare crew from the scare zones lor!
Really wanted to show you all what's inside the houses.

Attack of the Vampires 


Which is located at the Main Street, aside with it is the Haunted House : Adrift 

Some random strangers tagged along with our group and they made a whole lot of noise, I wasn't scared anymore.
Because I really cannot recognize which is the scare crew. MEH.
p/s : Becareful when you are walking.








Convention of Curses

Location : the Egyptian place.



 Lucid dreaming booth
This woman ask me if she can feed me to her plant. 
HEY! I'M QUITE A POPULAR APPLEPIE OK. 
HOW CAN ANYHOW FEED ME TO A PLANT.

Haunted house : Songs of Death

It was okay... but I got really dizzy after that.



Moving on to the next scare zone :

Forbidden Forest

Didn't manage to take pictures here with the scare crew , they were moving around too fast !
Also location of House of 13. , where the scare crew sprayed water at me. IN MY FACE. 
Actually I like this one best as well. The way the scare crew were hidden was really creative and some parts of the walk was interesting.


 Pictures with my CNOS 2 peeps !




It was only like 11 after we were done with all the halloween specials, took the opportunity to try out the transformer ride! #suaku




Oh oh ! Don't forget to catch the Monster Rock before you leave the park. 
p/s : Remember to take the Halloween special's handout where you can find useful information about the locations and the show timings.
We caught the 12am show and left the park afterwards. 
Indeed it was a great way to end the day! 

Tips to share!

Be there before 7 pm- there's an opening show which we missed. :(
Travel light - it is really narrow in the haunted houses and you really want want your bags to be a burden to you.
Buy express pass or not - well regarding this, I might not be able to give you the right answer. Yes indeed it saved a lot of time and you can go play the rides after that but you would kinda feel the thrill of queuing for the haunted houses.  You know, the feeling of anticipation.
Drink plenty of water - Really, make sure you visit the toilets before you go for the houses. Just in case you pee in the pants.
Wear dryfit / less if possible - it is super humid and there are quite a lot of holy water around so this might help to keep you dry fast. #justsaying.
Book a room - Only if you have enough budget. The park closes at 1am and trust me you really would want to leave USS before 1 AM. Problem is getting back home, cabbing is expensive, driving and parking IS expensive too. Suggestion is to go with a group of friends and book a room in the hotel in RWS. Continue partying after the park close! #okaybadinfluence 
Waterproof makeup - Wear waterproof makeup if not you might confuse the crew.


Opening hours of the Halloween Horror Nights is from 7pm to 1am on the following dates :
19,20, 25,26, 31 Oct 2013
1 to 3 Nov 2013.

Tickets are sold at $68 each and are available from
- their official site
- Cathay Cineleisure
- Nanyang Polytechnic.

PSSTT If you want a feel of what's inside the haunted houses , drop by Cathay Cineleisure Basement one to get a feeeeeeeeeeeel of it from THURSDAYS TO SUNDAYS.




Boo !

#cnos2 Picnic @ Marina Barrage !

I don't know why we didn't thought of us being in Singapore.
天气那么热了还要去野餐。

Anyway it was Clinton's birthday we had a gathering cum birthday celebration for Clinton !

Look at the food we brought !
I helped Noelle to make her jello while I prepared crepe cake ! (recipe here)

Had so much food we wouldn't finish !
Pamela made yummy korean rice cake while Joey got smoulder molten cakes so good I want it now!
I LOVE the dark chocolate and hazelnut molten cakes from smoulder!!!
Don cooked cola wings, Vivian made sausages and potato salads from Clinton !
We spent much time talking and the couples just go do their things.


The most epic moment is when we do a gwoyimi video in Marina Barrage, everyone was looking at us !
But it was quite funny and more fun ! Watch and you will know why !


Wish we had more time for this kind of life , can't wait for the next gathering !

#Cnos2 : Cathay Decoded Race

Challenge 4 : The Cathay Decoded Race 
At the Grand Cathay. 



Prior to this event, I did research a little on the Grand Cathay and found some interesting facts.
Anyway it was a great experience with the other participants and learnt more of the Cathay. 
#retailstudent.

I was a little awkward with the Grand Cathay at first , because it was one of the rare malls that I'm not familiar with. Surprisingly not covered in school also. Well, no fear cause I learnt so much during the challenges !

In this challenge, we need to be in groups of three, and my group #teampuck consists of Don , Ziwei and I !
Ready for briefing?

There are 6 stations in total. 
Our fifth station over at the Cineleisure.
What we need to do was to find the 10 hidden QR code , scan , answer the question and complete the crossword puzzle.
In the MRT to move from place to place.

Finally we completed the six station and back to grand cathay for some refreshments !

And time for prize presentation !
The 1st prize winner completed the race in 28 mins and the 3rd winner complete in 34 mins. 
wtf seriously , cause my team was stuck in a station for 20mins. 
Nonetheless, CONGRATS !!!

Picture of Huixin and Natalie epic trying to be unglam but epic fail. 
With pretty Shenny and Pamela !

Femmex's policy is that, the more you buy the cheaper it gets. 
Just no bargains !
Picking out 3 pieces that I thought that I might like. 
Extreme right picture was a top with the same design as my pull over.

Here's what I've chosen.

Buy 10 pieces onwards - $20 each.

Peter pan collar x EMODA necklace.



Guys clothes are always a challenge to buy.
Price is okay design is not or design is ok price is not.
