Of Work And Line Bunk Gathering

Morning got UAT, but went on quite smoothly. Then CH dropped a bombshell just after lunch by telling me that I might be joining the team in Brunei! And I could be joining them as soon as this week! Though most likely is next week... still dunno, everything not clear as yet... I dun mind going actually, just that a bit sudden... Now I guess I should start packing... hmm...

Back to the day, today is last day for DRQ (yes, another person leaving...). They were going drinking somewhere but I can't join as I've already got another appointment liao... Was meeting with my Army friends for our annual K session (yes, its annual)... The last time we went was before TC went abroad for his studies... Now, he was back from Toronto for vacation. We've arranged for quite a few time already and finally managed to come out this time round...

Meet TC and QW at Maxwell Market for dinner first, then went to the K outlet at Smith Street. It's called Ten Dollar Family Karaoke, or something like that... Think that time YM did suggest we come here for K, but in the end also never come... This time I finally managed to come to this place... We brought some beer up as well... Later, MW and WK also joined the session... The room here was pretty small (may be bcos its a small room), as well as the TV... Songs are pretty new but sound system is not that fantastic though... Oh, and the K system was the same as the one in Chevrons where I've operated... and the package comes with a bowl of sharks fins and free flow of drinks as well... all this only cost $10+, can come here next time if wants a change of environment...

We were all so friendly during this session, as we all took turn to sing, unlike other K sessions... TC dedicate his usual arrays of songs from female singer ranging from Stefanie Sun, Jolin Tsai to Cyndi Wong... While MW's fav was apparently Zhang Jing Xuan... Heard some songs from the old school as well, those that we were listening to during our army daze... No points for guessing who's my current favorite if you knows me well (yes... its them... hahah)...

The session was quite short and ended at around 10pm... So we felt we did not sing enough and wanted to go for a second round. And so we went Oriental Plaza there see how's the package was like... It would cost us around $20+ more to sing for another 4 hours, we felt it was too expensive and decided not to go ahead... Then I suggested going to Pitstop Cafe (yet again...) to play board games...

And so we took the train down to Raffles Place and walked to Pitstop... I was there twice in 3 days and 3 times in 2 weeks now... The 5 of us first started playing a game called Cranium. It is a board game in which the objective is to try to be the first to move into the finish line, and collecting all 4 different colour cards. Each coloured cards represents a certain category of puzzle:

1. Star Performer [green] - includes charades (act) or hum out a song.
2. Data Head [red] - consists of general knowledge questions with MCQs.
3. Word worm [yellow] - (can't exactly remember what is this liao...)
4. Creative Cat [blue] - sculpt out or sktech (with closed eyes) the answers.

We split into 2 teams and compete, Me & WK vs MW & TC, while QW was the coordinator... Well, the game was pretty fun but some of the questions we are not familiar and so had to re-draw the cards... It would be good if they have a local edition... In the end though, TC & MW won the game but we all had much fun... Then we moved on to the next game, Taboo. I guess nothing much needs to be said for this game... TC really knows how to describe the words...

Then L finally found his way here and we go on into our final game of the day, Citadel (not sure if I spelt correctly...). Its a card game where the objective is to build eight districts. The values of each player's districts is then totalled, with bonuses given for having eight districts or having districts of each of the five colours. The player with the highest total wins. On every turn, each player take turns to draw a character card, each with its own ability. This game involves some strategies and I would say its pretty fun to play...

Went for supper at a coffeeshop nearby after that, where we had prata. Continue to sit and chat until the wee hours of the night. Then it started raining heavily, and so we waited for the rain to fizzle out before finally calling it a day.
