“Anyone saw my liver ? I need that for the photo shoot.”. The party
was nothing short of fun, doing what you usually do not do during the normal
days. Thanks to Jessie and Jasmine from
the Singapore Turf Club for inviting me to this awesome Halloween party. It
was my first time getting myself “ugly” and “bloody”. Together with a group of
friends, we became the famous Adams’ family.
Somehow, this event had brought out my photographer instinct
into action. I was getting all sorts of weird ideas across to friends to pose as
frightening blood thirsty zombies. It does help if you watch more of those
living dead theme movies.
When I was young, I used to watch Dracula movies. Zombies
were not available back then. If you have live in this world long enough, the famous
Dracula actor Christopher Lee (not an Asian actor) would have been a familiar face
for horror movie. As a young boy, it was terrifying to stay and watch the whole
show. I would peek between the front row seats. Unfortunately, back then, there
were no movie classifications and restrictions, our young tiny hearts were not
protected. After watching the movie,
Count Dracula never failed to visit me in my dreams. He stayed for a few nights
before he got tired of haunting me.
At the party, even the
food and pastries have strong Halloween theme. Some of the dishes’ names
include Bloody Mary, Dirty Rice.
A photo booth with proper studio lighting was set up at the party. Some of my
friends, kept the photographer very busy. They left the party with lots of name
card size photos. Two eager Halloween make-up artists were there to “beautify”
our flat faces. Once in a while, our painted face appear on the LED screen ( they did not provide mirror at the make-up corner). We were being
paparazzi by an eagle-eyed photographer who roamed around and watching over us.
Almost at the end of the party, we marched down to the horse
racing area with our new Halloween looks. Uncle and aunties were staring at us.
Race horses didn’t like our faces. Jockey may think that we don’t belong here. So
what should we do, head for the washroom at the end of the party.
It was indeed
an enjoyable party. Singapore Turf Club, please invite me again for the next
Halloween.
