A Night at the Museum(s)

Last Friday night, my Goddess and the Horny Devil met up for dinner. They had Jap food at Ramen Play at 313. This was the second Friday in a row that they had Jap food for dinner already. Seems like they never get sick of Jap food since their Jap trip.


After dinner, they headed down to Bras Basar for the Night Festival. This is the third year in a row that they have visited the Night Fest. Such ardent supporters right?

When they reached, it was just in time for the night performance outside the National Museum - Paraboles 2.0. The story is supposedly about 6 satellites picking up signals on the Earth. Well, my Goddess' interpretation is the story of courtship, love, sex and finally the giving birth to a child who turned crazy in the end.


Watch this video if you don't believe her. This shows the sperms on the left, having successfully entered the egg, while those on the right are like dying.


After the performances, they initially wanted to head home 'cos the Horny Devil wasn't feeling well. They saw some creative grafiti works along they way.


And then a boxing match.


And the World's slowest SMS. WTF right?



The Horny Devil did send in an sms, but don't know if it was shown in the end not, 'cos they didn't stay around to wait for it.

On their way to the MRT, they met Moey, my Goddess good friend, who told her that there were some interesting exhibitions called Abusement Park in SAM. So my Goddess and the Horney Devil decided to go in to explore and have fun.

They saw an interesting exhibition about olden days theatre and shows en route. If you realised, the movie poster is called "In Love for the Mood" and not "In the Mood for Love". That's cos the movie was a parody of the famous story, where they got two angmohs to act out the scene speaking Canto. My Goddess couldn't understand a single word they were saying.



This 'Life of Imitation' was even more funny. They had 3 characters swopping roles. Can you spot the difference?


And finally, they headed to Abusement Park.




It was quite an interesting concept I must say. The place is all about torture. If you want to visit the Dungeon, you need to buy some Abusement Dollars at the pawn booth.


There were human mean on sale.


Which in actual fact was just 'tau key' and 'hei piao'.



A fountain of youth that was filled with dismembered dolls


Death by hanging

Death by chopping off the head

And there were short snippets of performances every 20 minutes. The one my Goddess got to see was the chopping off a blown-up dolls head. Hilarious.


There were also other interesting booths like 'Teachers' Pat' where you have to pay Abusement Dollars to learn how to torture others, as well as a Slave booth. You can sell 10 minutes of your time as slaves to earn some 'Abusement' money.

So inconvenient indeed!

Overall, this was quite an interesting concept. Think they can further develop this into some Halloween fun in which the 'ghosts' and 'abusers' can go around scaring people, especially along the way to the Dungeon. As what I have heard is that the never-ending 2-hours queue to the 'Dungeon' was just to see an electric chair. Duh~
