After so many years, we didn't know that Haw Par Villa was still around! I think the last we went there was like 8 years ago at the least! Both girls don't remember ever visiting it!
The way to the place has changed alot! You have to drive along West Coast Road and look out for Pasar Panjang Road. The carpark is within the attraction and cost $5 per entry. It closes at 7pm and last entry time is 6pm. Entrance is free.

(Below: The tiger and leopard statues when I was young are still there! Yay!)

(Below: Just thought this closeup shot & colours would look nice on camera!)
(Below: This car is new to me..don't recall seeing it before.)
The statues have not changed. The 10 courts of hell is still there and morbid like what I had remembered in my younger days. Needless to say, it had the same effect on the children.
(Below: didn't take many shots of the courts. This was at the back of the courts statues)
(Below: Every visit to the Park has to have this shot taken!)
All in, we had a memorable and fun day at the park. There's no food vendor, the day we went, that's a Saturday afternoon around 2.30pm. Luckily, we brought sandwiches and a bottle of water. Somehow, we didn't feel that hungry, but we were very thirsty. There are drink vending machines but the ones at the "restaurant" aren't working well. The ones at the entrance to the 10 courts were. We only took 1.5h at the park and left at almost 4pm.
(Below: saw 2 turtles, so threw in some bread and viola, so many appeared & some fish too!)
(Below: This was the bridge below which are the turtles)
We are not travelling this Dec hols, as we need to save. So we are going to explore the parts of Singapore that we had either not gone before or not for a long time. We shall share with you some of our visits which we find fun.
Love
Theresa
