Haw Par Villa

Jan 6, 2010. Our explorations/adventures came from humble beginnings, with just 2 people! It started
out with a simple curiosity and a simple plan. One day, Farhan told me he wanted to go to Haw Par Villa to
take some photos alone! I was like "What? Is he crazy or something?" Without him knowing, I was born an
explorer and have always been adventurous. So I asked him. "Are you crazy dude? Why not go with me?"
Haw Par Villa was more of a re-visit for both of us. This weird theme park was very popular among primary
school children in the 90s. Both Farhan and I went here during our primary school days before. However,
the park has lost a lot of visitors nowadays and admission became free! After visiting the park, we decided
to do some more explorations/adventures. From there,the idea of forming our own exploring team was born.

I really do not know what this is. Hahaha.

It clearly says 'Free admission' and you see nobody anywhere in here.

As you walk up this path after the entrance, you will be greeted with this portal gate.

A closer look at the gate with Farhan in the foreground.

"This way to the park." That's what he's probably trying to say.

I don't know what the statue is trying to do. Neither do I know what Farhan is trying to do!

Hmmm...

The Laughing Buddha, "Hehehehahahahuhuhu!!!"

I can't remember what this is. I think it's a musical performance.

Rabbits are among the animals you can find in this park.
