Blokus!

Met up with Shilei today and supposed to go down to Kim Seng CC to support her in a Blokus competition~ Blokus is this simple game that I've played a couple of times at Settler's cafe before.. Anyway, i ended up registering with Shilei as a team to join when she already joined with Qianhao as another!

Qualifiers are played and best score was taken out of 3 games. You can choose to play 1 game if u think ur score's good enuff to qualify. Top 8 teams enter for quarterfinals. And that's what we did when we won the first game! 158 to 134~ hee.. poor secondary sch boys... here's a pic of victory~

After that we went to explore other booths that showcased designer games. Designer games are different from designer goods okie! They are games that are created by locals! Tried Dividends and ended up buying it on the spot cos it was on offer and quite nice to play!

After that, bad news came... Shilei and I qualified and so did Qianhao and Shilei. So the organisers asked that one team to step out... So sianz... They shld have restricted one person to only one team at the start... So I stepped out and got to participate in the lucky draw. And guess wat! I won something! A Mind Cafe $20 voucher! But strange considering that the organisers were from Settler's.. Hmm...

Qianhao and Shilei lost in the first quarterfinal so we went ard looking at other booths. I tried my hand at World of Warcraft Trading Card game, the cards looked v cool. I spent more time looking at the art design rather than hearing him explaining about the rules of the game.. Keke...

After that I played a few games of Blokus (lying around cos quarterfinals never used all and playing was for free..) with Qianhao's fren and 2 other girls that also joined the competition.

After that I left for Orchard with the 2 girls who happened to be going to Orchard as well to meet GY for dinner at Taka. Had Ajisen Ramen and tried the super set that had a ramen, 3 dishes and a drink. Ramen always works for me. *Slurp!*

My all time favourite Miso Cha-Shu Ramen and the side dishes we ordered, starting from left clockwise California Maki, fried dumpling, fried prawn, salmon sashimi, fried dumpling (again) and shishamo yaki.

Looking forward to New Year's Eve Countdown tml!
