Tv Drama : Once upon a time

I fall in love with this series the firsr time i watch it. It currently in season 3 but on mediacorp channel 5 it only 2nd season due to contract and also it free to air.

Anyway it has a spin off which is once upon a time in wonderland.

SERIES OVERVIEW

The series takes place in the fictional seaside town of Storybrooke, Maine, in which the residents are actually characters from variousfairy tales that were transported to the "real world" town and robbed of their real memories by the Evil Queen Regina (Lana Parrilla), using a powerful curse obtained from Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle). The residents of Storybrooke have lived an unchanging existence for 28 years, unaware of their own lack of aging. The town's only hope lies with a bail bonds-person andbounty hunter named Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), the daughter of Snow White(Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming(Josh Dallas), who was transported from the fairy tale world before she could be cursed. As such, she is the only person who can break the curse and restore the characters' lost memories. She is aided by her son, Henry (Jared S. Gilmore), with whom she has recently reunited after giving him up for adoption upon his birth, and his book of fairy tales which holds the key to ending the curse. Henry is also the adopted son of Regina, who is the mayor of Storybrooke, providing a source of conflict between the two women.Each episode focuses on a character back story. One segment details the character's past life that, when serialized, adds a piece to the puzzle about the primary and/or secondary characters and their connection to the events that preceded the curse and its consequences. The other, set in the present day, follows a similar pattern with a different outcome but also offers similar insights. In addition, another storyline follows the results of what had happened after the curse took place and after it was broken.

Seasons

Season 1
<a href=http://s1334.photobucket.com/albums/w647/redlittlepig/?action=view&current=tumblr_static_once-upon-a-time-1024x576_zps7ef0a63a.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w647/redlittlepig/tumblr_static_once-upon-a-time-1024x576_zps7ef0a63a.jpg border=0 alt=></a>

The season begins with the Evil Queen interrupting the wedding of Snow White and Prince Charming to announce that she will cast a curse on everyone that will leave her with the only happy ending. The majority of the fairy tale characters are transported to the town of Storybrooke, Maine, where they have been stripped of their original memories and identities as fairy tale characters. When Emma Swan, the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, turns 28, she is brought to Storybrooke in a hope to break the curse.

Failure to solve a riddle being shared on Facebook is prompting thousands to change their profile pictures to an image of a giraffe.

The riddle – which has nothing to do with the African mammal , is said to be easy to solve, but is tripping many users up as it spreads around the social network.

The question asked in the challenge is: ‘It’s 3am, the doorbell rings and you wake up. Unexpected visitors! It’s your parents and they are here for breakfast. You have strawberry jam, honey, wine, bread and cheese. What is the first thing you open?’

(See the bottom of this post for the correct answer).

Facebook users who have failed the challenge must change their profile pictures on the site to a photo of a giraffe and re-post the riddle, asking friends to message them with the answer.

The challenge is spreading quickly. If they also incorrectly guess the solution, they must change their profile picture and post the riddle for their friends to guess, thus spreading the game further around Facebook.However, it is irritating but funny at the same time.

Do not look below if you don’t want the riddle ruined:‘You open the door first’ and ‘you open your eyes first’ have both been accepted as answers by those posing the riddles on Facebook.

In memory: Escape Theme Park

<a href=http://s1334.photobucket.com/albums/w647/redlittlepig/?action=view&current=EscapeThemeParklogo1_zpsb34dcafa.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w647/redlittlepig/EscapeThemeParklogo1_zpsb34dcafa.jpg border=0 alt=></a> <a href=http://s1334.photobucket.com/albums/w647/redlittlepig/?action=view&current=3943390316_144c8ece23_zps1868c3fe.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w647/redlittlepig/3943390316_144c8ece23_zps1868c3fe.jpg border=0 alt=></a>

Escape theme park was the first theme park in singapore that has all the rides in one area with only 1 ticket and you can enjoy all the rides. Usually it funfair which a moving theme park held at open spaces. It open in year 2000.

Escape to 'hell'oween was held here since 2003 before it move to D'marque since 2012.

It was the place to let loose and enjoy. Can be enjoy by friends and family.

It was always crowded in weekend. But as years goes by it drop in attendance as in 2004 wild wild wet water park open adjacent to escape.

Escape entrance was cheap. Around $20-30 compare to universal studios $65-80.

I went only a few times as I wasn't that willing to spend money there.

In the park use to be fastfood restaurant, gift shops and arcade games.

In the 11 years it open, more rides are added. Like Rainbow which one of those extreme rides out there. But out of sudden it was removed due to mechanical problem and lots of problem. The indoor coaster Alpha 8 has a worst fate. It close just 2 years of operating. Suppose to be a main attraction but it closed after a malfunction and accidents. It seem singapore has bad luck with roller coaster. Battlestar at universal studios is closed dont know till when.

The flume ride was the next best ride. It never fail to make you wet. Even with a poncho.

Escape become worst after universal studios open. I never blame resort world but escape has bad management. As it never survive longer then 12 years. Another is Fantasy Island at Sentosa. Closed after about 6 years it open.

Since 2010 escape only operate on weekend before it closed down totally in 2011.

The area now are been rebuilt into another mall or something last i saw. Not sure but let wait and see then.

Here a few old pics of the place.
We always remember you escape!

The first hunted attraction. Not sure why it call Hunted II. Some people say cause it the 2nd version. Maybe i guess. But it not scary and was too short. No scareactors just some animatronic.
But was consider grant. It remind me of ghost train ride at funfair in the 90s.

This is the Apha 8 indoor roller cooster ride area. It was closed after the accident. It was great due to singapore only have those funfair type ride!

Halloween Attraction (this not a guide)

Do take note; THIS IS NOT A GUIDE

Been wanting to do a post on Halloween attraction but i keep stuck on what should i write about.

This not mean to be a guide or any particular event or attraction.
<a href=http://s1334.photobucket.com/albums/w647/redlittlepig/?action=view&current=images-10_zpsdbfc02a4.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w647/redlittlepig/images-10_zpsdbfc02a4.jpg border=0 alt=></a>
Just a thought on the attraction that are famous in the world during halloween.

Every year whenever i go to a halloween attraction. I wish i got a chance to work on one. Mean design, create, excute and lastly see people get scared.

Maybe one day my dream job will come through.

This year alone in sentosa there like 4 events and that does not count those mini events by club and for family.

It take atleast 6 months to a year to organise a event that only on for less then 30 days most of the time. I heard universal studios design team take 1 year right after the last event ended. That is amazing consider the events are like happening only in october the next year.

For some i heard and been told are done by students who are graduating and it thier final year project. Maybe they can work in the attraction and do more the coming years.

For me after going to this attraction since 2008. Yesh i was a bit late in going but i wanted to go but no one to go with and mostly it too expensive.

But since 2008 i been going to different event each year. Yes never go to same event though i go to the same just not every year. Sad right but what to do. Those I ask rather go if free or they just hate halloween.

But since last i say ok i go my own. I not easily spook and i kinda like horror so i know i survive!

Enough of that. My main purpose of this post are about building and creating my own attraction.

Here how my ideas goes..
Example if i given a space as big as a exhibition hall like Suntec City hall. Big enough for 3 or more hunted attraction.

*all ideas belong to me. Do ask or inform me if you interested in my ideas and maybe you can help me make it real.

Hunted house 1.
Since singaporean like shopping. The amount of shopping centre are crazy. Why not do a eery shopping mall.

The main entrance is a abandon mall. It was a trieving mall but become abandon after business gone burst cause it build on hunted land.

Once you enter there a few shops. But you need go through it like a department store but it block by ruin funitures and clothes.

Scare actors will be station at different areas of the department store. Like crazy salesgirl. Murdered shoppers, funny little girls etc..

It can be develope more as it has lot of pontential in developing the ideas.

Hunted house 2
Maybe can do a asian type. Like a old kampung burn down due to arsonist.

The spirit still around the kampung and are hunting the ruin kampung.

Hunted house 3
Can be like a asylum. Mental prison that is suppose to be close down but it never did as the occupant never really die or did they still alive? Hmmm it spooky enough just think about it as a prison is enough to scare you.

Hunted house 4
Maybe can based on some local horror movies like the maid or pulau hantu.

The story can be like a maid commit sucide and never leave the house. It hunting the owner house till the owner leave and left it abandon and here come people trying to check it out and never come out alive.

I have more ideas. Thousand of it actually. But it sad that the only thing i can do is building miniture version. But it doesnt even compare to a real thing as many cant be down miniture.

Hope maybe universal studio or sentosa or new organiser saw this.

I willing to work low pay as long i get my dream job.

Anyway 3 days to halloween...
Enjoy halloween...

Halloween

Since 31st Oct is halloween it just 3 days away.
I decide to write a post on how i feel about halloween.

Every year on 31st oct, in the US and europe Halloween are celebrated. It a holiday in the US and some european countries. Here in Singapore it a another day. Same like valentine day and other america  holidays.

A few may argue that in singapore we dont celebrate but why not just enjoy the atmosphere since it is everywhere. Like we enjoy chinese new year, hari raya, deepavali and even christmas.

Past few years, halloween attraction has sprung up in sunny singapore. Though it may not be as big as in US or europe still it one of those attraction you will love to go even it expensive.

Each year since early 2000, halloween attraction are seen around tourist attraction. Like at Sentosa( Spooktacular, USS Halloween Horror nights, Images of Singapore), night safari(defunt in 2010), singapore flyer( no event in 2013), downtown east at pasir ris (escape to 'hell'oween, family event), clubs all over and recently community clubs.

It a money making event i may admit. Tickets can be as low as $2-5 to as high as $100 or more.

Those who like to say why pay to scare ourself. It actually more of to show ourself that though scary we archive something we think we never will do in a million years.

It also when we get to be silly and dress up as ghouls and sexy costume which seem to be out of place if not wore in the bedroom.

As you read my previous post i went to a few halloween attractions. Some are good while some are a let down. But overall enjoyable.

You live once why not try. Yes dont say excuses that it a waste of money but you spend on silly item doesnt it waste of money.

I will end it here but on my next post i share stories on hunted attraction and why it so popular even not at halloween events.

Enjoy monday blues!!

3 more days to halloween
