This weekend packs a punch for the adventurous ones… or not. As we enter the seventh lunar month, you might have seen the worship offerings along the streets of Singapore. Indulge yourself in some exciting and scary ghost stories this weekend!
On the other hand, you prefer a mindful slow weekend, take up the build-your-own-terrarium workshop at The Orijean. But that's not all – check out our list below, for there is sure to be something up your alley.
1. Late Night Ghost Stories: SEVEN
What happens when the gates of hell open during the 7th month (also known to some as the Ghost Month) and two spirits—one an old soul and the other a younger spirit—want more than just a visit to the human realm?
An opportunity to return to the real world as a newborn is presented to the two spirits but with a catch—only one of them can return. See the duo battle it out with their knowledge and stories to outwit each other for that one chance. Who will the Higher Being choose?
