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!!
Halloween is playful fear, creative disguise & communal thrill. It is a night where the unknown is embraced, not feared.
So which is better? The answer is we need both.
Diwali is about renewal, gratitude & the triumph of good over evil. It is about family, food, rituals and reflection.
Halloween is about imagination, having fun with creative disguises & laughter with family & friends.
My family celebrate both festivals. We will go to Little India to check out the lights & eat some delicious curries.
For Halloween my family is planning a trip to Universal Studios to have fun with haunted mazes, scare zones & themed shows.
Both festivals is a great time for family bonding, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Singapore is a melting pot of cultures & that is why I love Singapore.
