Next Monday marks Deepavali (Diwali) — the Festival of Lights!
All of Little India will soon be glowing with colorful lights, Rangoli art, and the scent of sweets and spices in the air. ✨
Families light oil lamps to invite prosperity and blessings, while Indian girls decorate their doorsteps with intricate Rangoli patterns — each design a creative masterpiece meant to welcome Goddess Lakshmi, the bringer of wealth and fortune.
✨ With the blend of lights, fragrances, and music, Diwali’s spirit seems to brighten the whole city.
If you’d like to soak in the festive vibes this year, head over to the Indian Heritage Centre (5 Campbell Lane)!

I plan to visit the Indian Heritage Centre to enjoy the festive vibes and maybe join a henna or flower garland workshop. The fact that admission is free makes it even better! I can already picture the beautiful Rangoli displays and a cup of masala tea in hand. 🌸 It’s a perfect way to slow down, soak in the culture, and celebrate something meaningful.
Still, I might check out Halloween Horror Nights with friends for some fun scares. 👻 But if I had to choose, Diwali’s glow definitely wins — it’s all about positivity and celebration.

On the other hand, Halloween at Universal Studios sounds like a thrilling experience, with spooky decorations, haunted houses, and exciting rides!
Which one should one be leaning towards? It actually is and good problem to have! Why not have a slice of both! A sort of Diwalloween!!
万圣节是有趣的恐惧,创造性的伪装和公共的刺激。这是一个拥抱未知而不是恐惧的夜晚。
那么哪个更好呢?答案是我们两者都需要。
排灯节是关于更新、感恩&正义战胜邪恶。它是关于家庭、食物、仪式和反思的。
万圣节是关于想象力的,用创造性的伪装和与家人和朋友一起欢笑。
我的家人庆祝这两个节日。我们将去小印度看看灯光&吃一些美味的咖喱。
万圣节,我的家人计划去环球影城旅行,享受闹鬼的迷宫、恐怖区和主题表演。
这两个节日都是家庭团聚的好时机,创造将持续一生的记忆。
新加坡是一个文化的大熔炉&这就是我热爱新加坡的原因。
