4 B-day, 2 Wedding and 8 Celebrations - Fri 17
It’s a 8 days full of celebration. Well, not exactly. But was all packed into 3 evenings and 1 afternoon…
It was a crazy period.. which will end this sat… Well, although there will be one which i will miss the celebration.. But it is for good clause.. cos i will be a lightbulb.. (since when i am not one?? ;=P)
The first celebration, was at settlers cafe.. 4 of us with 2 cakes and lots of laughter! The first game we played was Risk, mission mode. Each of us were armed with our little soldiers and using a dice to determine the fate of our soldiers… Imagine that.. wat if our fate is determine by the roll of the dice or dices.. or watever.. tat’s a gamble.. but since when life is not a gamble?
Each time when everyone of us is at a fork, a juction, a crossroad, or when there is not even a route, we have to make our decision, forecast the way how we are going to map out our lives.. But it’s like a ripple.. the moment a decision is cast, it affect the surrounding.. yet many times, although the decision does not turn out the way we like them to be, occassionally the end-result might be wat we had wanted or the results might even exceed our expectations!!
So, back to the game of Risk… among the thorns, there was the ‘Rose’ of the nite.. The rose of the night, well, was the only person who know abt warfare.. unlike the thorns.. thus onwards, we tried our best.. to conquer our quest. It was a game where pouts, dares, bravery of the little soldiers comes about.. when one draws, win or lose.. All by the turn of the dices… We increased our soldiers at every turn then we lost them or the land by cold calculation.. IS tat how warfare is abt too??
And since it was a mission quest, one of the player had already won the game but had mistaken the quest due to the wording of "OR". She had tot that she had to complete both missions.. Nevertheless, onwards we played the other games.
The next one was something like ‘heartattack’. Each of us had 9 pieces of cards… which we had to swap to anyone and collect a set of cards with the same pictures!! The first one was hilarious… The atmosphere was tensed as we were trying to accummulate and be the first to get the full set of the cards.. So when the first person completed and placed his hand on the table, all of us scramped not to be the last.. As usual, i am the slow one.. so my hand was on the top..
Without much warning, the hand had come down and hit mine… Well.. just for the fun of it.. it wasnt painful.. BUT here came the reality.. The rose who won the first round.. He LACKED of one card to completed his set.. OMG..
For the next few rounds, we ensured that those who won, show all their complete set of cards. Then there was one round.. which i was trying to gather 8 pieces of cards before exchanging the last odd piece out.. Finally when i got my 8 cards, i was a little too late.. cos there was one who got her card completed.. keke and the one whose cards i am keeping, well.. was… (you can understand how the person felt)
Not only that, there was one round which i was keeping 4 cards and another friend was also keeping the same set of cards, in the end, it was the other 2 friends managed to complete their set.. :=P
Follow by that, it was pictionary or wat i called it, ‘the draw draw game’ kekeke.. by my description, u can guess wat it is abt.. pairing ourselves up, it was sanz n me, jane and andr. Oh yes.. these are the people who were at the settlers cafe..
Once again, the dice is need and to determine our fates!! For the higher the dice no is, the faster we hit the jackpot.
With this game, there was many table hitting periods, laughting out loud and sharp (me only hor) and quite a no. of times of ‘how to draw this’ or ‘this thing dun look like wat it is suppose to be’ or similar wordings…
For an instance, there was a time when we need to describe a word related to ‘dog’.. thus, one of us, using the reverse thinking.. cos her partner wasnt able to speak out the word dog, she drew a ‘cat’ hoping to link the word for her partner.. well, sadly.. they were not able to guess it in time.. Neither can i remember if anyone of us guess the word correctly..
Thus, using the same theory, that partner of hers, drew something that was the opposite of wat the next (or was it some games after…) However, it did not work!! it was another round of laff.. at one another!
It makes me wonder.. how differently our mind works.. how it changes and responsed to each situations…
For me, i am the one who is always the slow one to catch one. BUT for most, they are able to adapt to the switching of mind.. (the minds hor..not other things!!)
Perhaps, it might be a better things, not to think too hard! :P
