The Graceful Dead

"Corpse Bride" Emily, an undead girl in a moldy, flowing wedding dress

My version of EMILY :)

2 Halloween parties for the past 2 weeks, made me have nightmares!

Angie wanted to have a Halloween party at her place since she'll be leaving for New York for the next few years. So she went out to the stores to buy pieces to turn her house into Tanslyvannia and invited 13 of us over. It was a gluttony time for me with delicious fresh mushroom soup made by Jessica and a wide dinner spread prepared individually by each of us, i was just happy watchin The Exorcist and The Scary Movie with a tub of ice cream after that. I was the official photographer, hence i came as the DEAD photographer. I didn't need to dress up, i already looked dead myself!

Eager to the be creeped out on the ghost trail at the Night Safari with everyone else dressed up, i met Alexxis' and Belle & co only to find word that Night Safari is packed and some even waitied for hours to get in. So... we had our lil fun outside :) I didn't have much time to shop for get ups but hey! i was EMILY (all accidental!) from Tim Burton'sCorspe Bride.

The RED Picnic

Trick-or-treating?
It was tricky keeping a balance on the boat back after the treat of a whole afternoon's RED flow!!

It was only Vesak day's weekend, perhaps 5 days a lil too early for Hallow's eve, but as always, there's always a reason to celebrate. And so the traditional characters were out during the Jack-O's one-week too early weekend- The Grim Reaper (Me, targeting the full carton of wine *slurp*) , the zombie (Vicki, a lil stoned from the nite before) and the vampire (Alex, lurvin the neck *wink*) were out. All in broad day light!

Creating our own rulezz!

We didn't kneel on the ground with a fork between our teeth and try to drop the fork into an apples dunk or bob any apples in a large basin of water; nor did we get our faces sticky because we tried to eat the syrup-coated scones tied to strings without using our hands. We were just on all fours at times (gosh), moving ourselves outta the direct sun (oh boy!), worrying if the weather will turn bad on us (as usual, we have such great luck whenever we do outdoor events!), laying down enjoying our wine and a good chat (finally!). That's what i enjoy most with my bestie- spontaneous activities and random adventures. Simple things made so meaningful :)

Karting- Stepping stone into professional racing career for Nascar and Formula One drivers

With the Formula One Night race craze, we decided we too wanted to partake in this whole frenzy. And so we organized our own lil Karting race and headed for the race tracks!

Always the point we are all conerned with

Arrive and drive- No driving license needed!
