walking about

Was at *Scape Cineleisure yesterday, and saw Freddy. You know Freddy? Fred Krueger who lives at Elm Street. Hiaks hiaks!

here's Freddy, your worst nightmare
Did you know Johnny Depp was in "Nightmare on Elm Street"? You do? Well, then you must be as old as me. Hahaha! Did you know Wes Craven, the horror maestro directed this show? Here the wiki link to more Nightmare On Elm Street.

It was drizzling slightly, so we made our way to Taka as my friend wanted to go to Kinokuniya. They were having the Subaru challenge, and Sylvia Rationel was singing, so took a snap.

hands-on challenge, good luck everyone!
I wanted to visit the Asian Civilisation Museum because it was having a free admission for Halloween. So we made our way there. Alighted at Raffles Place, and walked towards Exit H. Saw a lot of dragon boat paddlers, and that's because they were having some race yesterday. So what do I do? Snapped somemore pics.

While walking towards the museum, there were lots of interesting stuffs to see along the Singapore River.

Asian Civilisation Museum
It's Halloween time, and it's no different for ACM (Asian Civilisation Museum). Here's the evidence:

They were also having a special exhibition, so we got to enjoy that for free too!

Special Exhibits
But photography is prohibited in the special exhibitions gallery, so the shots that I snapped are from the normal galleries.

We left the museum at 7pm because it was getting too crowded with kids. The kids were cute. All came dressed up for Halloween. =)

ACM 'transformed' after 7pm.. heheheee~ (eery laughter)
The museum was cool. Nice place to visit if you haven't done before, but inside everywhere was quite dark. I think they have six galleries inside, so probably have to allocate like 20 mins to half hour for each gallery.
