The Halloween Guessing Game | November 12, 2008


first things first: i just heard that Bill Clinton is going to KL to speak. what!!! i have had a supercrush on Bill since forever, so i am understandably very upset that he chose to speak in my country JUST when i arrive at his.

secondly: there’s a rumor going around school that Blake Lively (Serena of Gossip Girl) is matriculating here at Columbia beginning next year. that is crazy, considering how the application deadline for the class of 2013 isnt even ovet yet, much less the decisions. but if the last few episodes of Gossip Girl are anything to go by, Serena van der Woodsen can charm her way into any Ivy even before she actually applies!

so i finally got around to sorting out my pics from halloween. there are so many of them!! here are some of my favorite pics, mostly because the costumes are (kinda) ambiguous, and i can as usual make the promise of a one buck prize to the first person who hits the right guess. guys, these one bucks really do exist, i swear. dont let cynicism rob you of your dollar!

1. a stranger on the train. this costume is actually pretty obvious when you see this dude in person, because he had all the gear with him… and wtf i guess it’s pretty obvious from the photo too since you can see the symbol on his clothes. bah.

2. this guy got his colors mixed up.. because he was more white than grey

3. aiya very easy if you all cannot guess this one i will smack you

4. this two come in a pair. i only recognized them because one of my friends dressed up as the guy in the left once. haha they were really happy that i knew their characters.. the girl on the right told me that everyone thought she was just a random tiger

5. this is nick the handsome <3 ahh his costume is amazing. if you can guess what he is i'll give you $1.50 !!!!

6. the ambiguous costume here is debbie’s, the girl in the middle. she says you have to stretch your imagination a little bit before you can get what she is. haha it’s so freaking out there. but here’s a hint anyway : those are pink hearts on her cheeks. not that her character has hearts on his/her cheeks… she just thought it was an appropriate symbol :P i cant stand it la she’s just too cute. and to add to her cuteness, she drew those hearts with pink highlighter HAHAHAHA. oh and sorry had to block out my front cos it was a bit indecent :P

7. okay, this one is a no-brainer. the hint is the badge she’s wearing; it says Mavericks. if you cant recognize her by face or by the Maverick term, then you probably wont know who she is! i thought i was going to see lots of people dressed up as her, but surprisingly i only saw three. i asked all three of them “are you dressed as _____?” but disappointingly not even one of them said “you betcha!”. geez. play the role, you guys!

8. HAHAHAHA I LOVE THIS COSTUME. it’s so awesome. the hint is me trying to eat him!

9. probably not guessable if you dont follow US politics. saw many variations of this character! all of them with the real name Joe!

10. BEST COSTUME EVER. if you can guess what they are, you are beyond godlike. the hint are the thingies that they have on their neck! cannot say what it is la, cos very obvious oredi like that

11. i was VERY impressed with this costume! i spotted him from my seat in the subway.. and all i saw of him at first were his metal claws.. and i thought ‘oh.. wolverine.. yawn’. but then he stepped into view!!! and i freaked out!!! and started pointing at him like a mad person. haha. he started posing for me! and i just had to take a picture. guess who!

i wish i had been more diligent that night with the picture-taking. there were definitely lots of very awesome costumes out there, many of which totally boggled the mind. like there was this guy who was walking around in a bright neon costume that actually glowed, complete with white glowing umbrella. to this day i still have no clue who he was dressed as.

and i cant wait to blog about my favorite costume of the night! it’s better than ANYTHING i have ever seen, and that includes a guy from my hall who went as a Metrocard (subway ticket – he made himself a sandwich board designed to look like the actual ticket) and a girl who went as a Facebook page :D haha stay tuned.

Leave me a comment!
