FastForward's Gathering at PitStop cafe!

(Hello everyone, this article is meant for those who were busy on the day 3rd March and miss out on the outing.)

Ok, the time to gather--12:30pm, everyone arrived on time, some a bit late and for 1 more person (dun want to pinpoint),2 hours late. Anyway, we didn't wait for Brian (opps),and proceeded on to our destination, Pitstop.

The moment we arrived, we were being welcomed by a group of friendly staff, as well as the bright orange tables and concrete walls decorated with an enormous amount of pictures of its satisfied customers.
And Joanne Peh is in one of the pictures also, you go and find hor.
As there were 8 of us, we decided to split up into 2 groups, reason:- to play more games.
Next, we decided on the package (pitstop, $15 with 1 soup of the day, 1 main course, 1 drink and 2 hrs of playing time) we needed and the food we want. Surprisingly,even choosing what we want to eat ended up taking quite some time also, haha.

*Impt*
(The cushions there are very soft and comfortable, so do give it a hug next time you are there)

Finally, time for some serious business to play some board games--
(Below are the games that i had participated in the outing)

Halli Galli
I guessed that everyone has played this before. Basically, once 5 fruits of the same kind are on the table, smack the bell.
Surprisingly, Weishiong is very good in this.

Halli Galli Extreme
Wonder why they call this extreme, since i thought this is a lot easier than the original Halli Galli. Basically, once there are 2 cards of the same kind appearing on the table, you can smack the bell liao. Oh, there are also the elephant, monkey and the pig cards in this game. If anyone is interested to know more, you can ask Weishiong, the Halli Galli King.

Sequence
Similar to connect 4, just that we need to connect 5 in this game. Not very interesting, so i wun say much.

Blokus
I only played the hexagonal one, while Linus and his group played the rectangular one. Ok, quite fun, need some thinking too.But i think our group think too much liao, we played only 1 round with this while the other group already finishes their 3rd round.

Taboo
Guessing game- Describe the word on the card without using any of the related words stated on the card itself.
Quite fun, and makes the person describing look stupid too.

Saboteur
We did not manage to finish this, but according to weishiong, quite fun. I did not find it very fun though, perhaps need more try on the game.

Other than playing games, we also decided on some issues for the Open house, like the game list for Thursday and Saturday, and the souvenir.

We took a photo too, and is pasted somewhere inside. Maybe you guys can try to find it when you are going there sometime.

*Oh ya, Brian, didn't you say you wanted to treat us to drinks for being late?
