Halloween is coming!!!!
Halloween is the season of dress-up, make-believe and fun. Great preparation goes into buying costumes that transform young children, teens, college students and even adults into an array of characters including ghosts, goblins, witches, devils, superheroes and storybook characters. It’s a time when it’s okay to be something or someone other than yourself for a day.
This year some thrill seekers may want to consider Halloween alternatives to provide a new twist on an age-old event. During this season of green witches, slime and other spooky characters, going green for Halloween can extend the positive theme of protecting the environment even during this season of dress-up and make believe.
Going green for Halloween can also mean deciding not to drive that evening or identifying activities and events closer to home to reduce driving time and air pollutants from vehicles.
Dr. Huntley explains some youth or college-age groups may want to share the green Halloween spirit while lifting the spirits of senior living and nursing home residents. They can visit residents and share wholesome snacks, play music and lead a ghoulish and festive dance around the facility. In addition to enjoying the costumes, the residents can enjoy healthful snacks and the afternoon with friendly little ghosts and characters.
For those partaking in traditional trick or treat activities, Dr. Huntley encourages everyone to remember it is important to maintain safety and caution to ensure this is a fun and safe experience for young trick or treaters. Children should be accompanied by a parent, guardian or responsible older sibling. Costumes should not be too tight or obscure vision. Children must be encouraged to cross streets carefully and always with a traffic light when present. Trick or treat in familiar neighborhoods or at homes with whom you are acquainted. Many malls and shopping centers enjoy hosting trick or treaters as a fun community service initiative. Often schools help promote safety by encouraging teachers to let students trick or treat at various classrooms in the building. Some schools host a costume parade in the building or a fun assembly.
Hope I can celebrate Halloween wif my frens!

A Horrifying Experience
Up until now, I can still clearly reminisce this incident that happened many years back. One morning, about 7 years ago, my mother brought my brother and me to the 1 Utama Shopping Complex to buy a birthday gift for me for my upcoming birthday.
When we got there, we parked our car in the car park, which was at that time rather empty and there were not many people around. Then, we alighted from our car and walked to the entrance nearest to us.
As we were walking into the entrance, suddenly a man ran from behind and snatched my mother’s handbag. He was patiently waiting behind a pillar to pounce on any easy prey that walked by. After that, he quickly ran to a blue Proton Wira that was waiting for him nearby. I can still recall that there were about three accomplices waiting for him in the car.
My mother shouted at them while they quickly sped off in their car. We were extremely shocked at what had happened to us which we totally did not expect at all. Luckily, my mother did not fall down or was not hurt in the incident as she was carrying her handbag in one of her hands. The car keys too was not taken as it was not in the handbag.
We then hurriedly got to our car and drove out of the car park. At the entrance of the car park, we told the guards there what happened and we went home. Once we reached home, my mother called my father to tell him about this incident and they went together to the police station nearby to lodge a report but there was nothing the police could do.
Approximately 200 ringgit was stolen along with some credit cards and my mother’s driving license. In spite of the valuables stolen, we could still consider ourselves lucky as none of us were hurt in this horrifying yet unexpected incident.
