Spooky Ops Floor

Alice in Wonderland for this year's theme. 

So we have our bay decorations, anything to do with the Alice in Wonderland theme. 

So here it is, something to drool with... 

And of course, sometimes it is nice to create something out of the theme... 

Have any ideas who this is? 

Yup, he is "The Jackal" from the movie 13th Ghost 2001

Jeepney 🚙

Their souls intertwine, their love creates a world of its own, and their hearts find solace.

"As the jeepney rattles through the city streets, untouched by the chaos outside. In that cramped space, and their love becomes a journey worth taking."
