PUSHIN" ON @ Blu Jaz Cafe - 31 Oct 08

Hallowen nite is BACK on this Friday!!! Where are the ghosts, zombies, spirits and Draculas??? Woo...they must be hiding in motowns and dark alleys waiting to scare the SOUL out of u!!! Man...u probably have to perform Michael Jackson's moonwalk dance and shouT "Out" to crucify them!

As if they are not the only trouble in town, some bad dudes sent by the notious Mafia are theatening the citzens with their HIP HOP moves to show how "bad" they are. FUNKY policemen arrive just in time to arrest the gangsters with their handcuffs.

When the streets return to peace once again, ABBA Dancing Queen is going to drop the lights on to dig out those DISCO sounds! Towards the morning, the clubbers will probably be too tired....and taking their break to enjoy their chill-out JAZZ tunes.

Halloween Haunted Graveyard Town @ Paranakan - 31 Oct 08

Looking for another bar for Hallowen nite? Check out Peranakan Place!!! Details of write-up can be found below. Credits of the write-up is given to Lilian Ngay (Assistant Brand Manager of Peranakan Place). I shall leave u guys with this piece of chilling news:

13 Oct 2008, SINGAPORE – This Halloween, step into the gates of Death as the last ray of light disappears. Come 31st October, Friday, a haunted graveyard awaits you, as Peranakan Place transforms into a Graveyard Town. Join us at the quirkiest Halloween party as our eccentric friends rise from their tombstones to prowl the night, eager for some trick or treat! Watch out for our Goth friends from the Singapore Dark Alternative Movement, an alternative, non-profit social collective, and rock to the futurepop and electro beats spun by DJ Mentor (X’ Ho) and DJ Saito Nagasaki!

Tread carefully amongst the tombstones into the dilapidated cemetery at Outdoors Café & Bar, where our creepy caretakers appear from the shadows to entice you into the dark side with treats from their gooey Halloween pumpkins. Push through the wandering skeleton corpses and floating ghouls to the other side where other characters come out to play.

Follow the music into Acid Bar and tap your toes to the rhythm strum out by rock stars of the night. Twirl the lonely skeleton brides around lest they should keep haggling you – but be careful not to put your ring on their fingers or you’ll find yourself immortally mummified!
Wander on towards Alley Bar and meet with our tarot card gypsy, who may let you dabble with your past and peek into the future. Succumb to the lure of the entrancing beats spun out by celebrity DJs and mingle with our peculiar friends over spooky deals. Beware of eerie dark shadows as spirits lurk around waiting to pounce on lost souls.. you have been warned!

Indulge in special concoctions and tasty morsels, as well as attractive promotional deals all night long. Guinness and Sauza Tequila jointly sponsor this event.
