From Haunted House in NYC to Phantom of the Opera

21 October 2006 - Haunted House
26 October 2006 - Phantom of the Opera

Haven't been blogging for a while due to busy schedule and generally lack of activity happening around. Been busy with midterms and case presentation and can you believe it, its still not over. Haiz.. BUT, even though its in the midst of exams and tests, I still make time for some adventure. Halloween is round the corner and me and my friends decided to embark on some ghostly adventure. We have heard from the locals that there is this very eerie and haunted house in NYC. Its located in downtown. When we hear about it, we go "wow! let's check it out man!" But it was really eerie from the outside.

The Haunted House of NY.......

Haa, ok la.. just crappy with you guys la. It is the Haunted House of NYC but its staged. Basically, you pay an entrance fee to go in to be scared. Its free anyway since its organised by my dorm and they waived off the fees. Not really that scary and I think the fright nights we have back home is way better.

Now for the real phantom....

Check out the "Spirit" behind....

Watch the phantom of the opera. Not too bad, but I could kinda feel for the phantom in the end. I mean, if you think about it, how many of us can really face the real world without a mask? In fact, how many of us really dare to face the real us? I know all these sounds cliche but the half mask did struck me. Perhaps, sometimes, half of you wanna show the real world the "true" you but you are afraid. Not necessary afraid that people might exploit you or harm you if you bare all your feelings. It could also be a situation where you do not one others to know how you actually feel cos you do not want them to be upset or simply you do not wanna dampen their mood though you feel down and out. On the otherhand, you could be happy but others around you are upset. Maybe cos say you did well in some test and he did not. You probably have to "mask" your happiness so as to be sensitive to his feelings. I could be generalising but maybe in the world out there, most of us are wearing a half mask. Baring a portion of our true feelings and yet masking some of it. Perhaps...we are all phantom of our own opera.
