Getting more adventurous - thou am!

Have you ever realised that the most famous attractions in Singapore are seldom patronised by Singaporeans themselves? Perhaps they are overpriced? Or perhaps these places simply appeal more to the tourists/foreigners? Many a time, people just do not appreciate the things they have right beside them, but instead only mourn their losses when these are gone... Wow... Philosophical sia... *winks

Anyway, friday (31st Oct) was Halloween. This day is seldom celebrated in Singapore (or so I thought hehe)... Being the mountain turtle that I am, I exclaimed to my colleagues some weeks back that I have never been to the Night Safari! And ta da! On Halloween itself, my colleagues and myself, together with the organiser's friend, conquered Singapore's one and only Night Safari! It was only that day, that they had the Halloween special. There were people dressed up as the famous '贞子', witches and vampires etc out to scare you along the trails of the Night Safari. If not for the many teenage girls who hollered like there's no tomorrow, as well as the saffocating crowds, it would really have been quite freaky. With the trails being dark and quiet, and horrifying characters suddenly popping out to scare you - that would have been quite thrilling!

But anyway, the trip was overall fun, and I enjoyed myself immensely! As usual, I am such a easy person to please! =) Thinking forward, the next place that I would want to conquer of Singapore would probably be Sentosa - I have not been to the musical fountain, and many others at Sentosa before (once again, my guzness shows *bleah). Maybe I will go to the Zoo soon too! Back to the student times man!

It seems that recently, I have an appetite for thrills.. Challenging myself indeed! For instance, taking the reverse bungee a couple of weeks back - hey! Although it doesn't sound like a great deal, but it still took me some courage to take the ride! And being a super cowardy scaredy cat who never watched a horror flick before, deciding to act brave and go watch 'Coffin' just yesterday. Oh boy... it was............. NOT scary la.. Phew.... Granted, there were scenes that just render a scream from you, but the images were not of those that really haunt you and stay with you such that you hallucinate and cannot go to sleep. So, I did a horror flick finally and luckily, without any repercussions... Hehe...

I wonder what's the next plunge that I will take? Ideas pls.. Hehe...
