Thanks to Jody’s colleagues, the few of us managed to join in Hong Kong’s Halloween celebration @ Ocean Park.
Eunice’s mother was here to visit Eunice so she joined us too! :D
Before going to Ocean Park, Farhah, Jody and I went to chill out the Starbucks near our staying area.
Then there was this little girl and she is only 3 years old, but she is so tall and really smart!
I feel like I am her mother in this photo.
We went over to Mong Kok as Jody and Farhah wanted to get contacts, ended up I got a pair myself.
Didn’t want to shop but I got a knitted cardigan and a knitted top. -.-
After our brief shopping, went to Admiralty to wait for Eunice and her mother.
One of the hell guards who greeted us when we arrived at the bus terminal.
While waiting for Eunice and her mum.
We took the bus there and there was a freaking long queue for it.
Actually it was ok because the buses came really fast and there were all double decked bus so it was quick.
Our Halloween passes.
We were pretty tempted to get those headbands but it was stupid as we won’t wear them again.
Look at the crowd and it was only the first day!
We were quite lost, not knowing where to go, so we ended up in the aquarium which was pretty lovely.
I think it is prettier than SG’s, in fact.
In the end when we got out of the aquarium, we got our headbands. -.-
Eunice got the devil one as well.
2 animals and 2 devils. Haha.
We tried one of the haunted houses. It was the typical scare and shock setting but I guess they did put some effort into setting up the place.
It was scary at the start, but it got better as we walked along.
There were also mascots walking about. They weren’t very frightening, but I really hate it when they shout into your ear.
Some were even very friendly, saying hi and all.
We went for some of the simple rides. Jody, Eunice and Farhah went for the craziest ride called Flash
which was actually a 360 degrees viking. I couldn’t go for it for 2 reasons, one I was scared and second, my heart may not be able to take the pressure.
Jody wanted to take the carousel.
Eunice and her mum left first because there were going to Shen Zhen the next day.
So the 3 of us continued exploring the area.
To be honest, it was nothing much, but since it is free then I have nothing to comment on.
Some of the rides were not open yet and some were not in order and I think if we went in the day, we would have enjoyed ourselves more.
Too bad, Halloween is a night event.
Ok. That is it for the weekend. Photos up on facebook!
Today is a sleep-in day for me! So tired!
