OKAY, i'm supposed to say something about the pitstop gathering on saturday, 3rd march, from 1 to about 5pm.
so upon reach the place, we split into 2 groups to play more games, yadda yadda, and everything ( like jianxiang already said la. i don't wanna repeat myself, might sound too naggggggy! )
i would like to first comment about the food there. so all of us were under the pitstop package, and all 4 at our table ordered 'FOOTLONG FISH AND CHIPS' for our maincourse. NOTE THE NAME, DOESN'T IT SOUND GOOD? was pretty hungry so was waiting (quietly =/ ) for the food but the guys, namely linus, javern and junyuan, at my table not very gentleman leh. they all took their share first. WHAT HAPPENED TO 'LADIES FIRST'? so i had to sulk (quietly again), wait for my food, and see them eat happily while my stomach rumbled and grumbled and pretended to be happy. :(
( but of course, no matter how old, boys will still be boys. they see food, they happy. they see games, they also happy. =/ )
ok sorry i digressed. so anyway the food was, IMHO, good! heh heh. i liked the dory, fleshy and delicious and woohooo-ly yummy! the proportion was big and oh i forgot to mention, the soup they served as appetizer was not bad too. it was quite funny of linus to think the potato chunks as undissolved bits too. HOHO!
**oh and linus brought some yummy rocher-lookalike chocolate(which i forgot the name) from germany and shared it with everyone. i must mention this lah because must give him some credit for bringing the choc. every single little piece cost roughly 40cents if you calculate by the price they sell in sg you know! even more expensive than ferrero rocher which is at least triple the size but even cheaper! :D

anyways, i don't feel like talking about food anymore. it's past past midnight now and i'm hungry with no food at home.
so! time to talk about the games we played!
seriously. no one told me i must write this entry. so i can't really remember the games and the sequence we played them. anyway, here goesssssss!
BLOKUS
heh heh, can't really remember but i think all of us(from our table) are first timers for this game. so we had 1 quick warm up round (which i won, hiaks), followed by 2 more proper rounds before we changed to the next game. the objective of this game is to fill the board with your pieces, and the one with the most squares on the board wins. sounds simple but need to think!
i think most people will know how to play this game lah so no point describing further. :D
CODA
seriously i don't know what's the next game we played. but i like this game because i won all the rounds!
this game is like playing mahjong. we're supposed to draw tiles and the other players must guess your numbers. there're black and white tiles, and each colour has number 1-11, and special tile '-' (dash). then some special instructions will enable you to guess each other's tiles.
quite a fun mind game. hehheh.
PIT
a trading game that most of us have played before. something like the game 'heart-attack' but in this game you can exchange cards with anyone on the table.
better played with MANY MANY PEOPLE because personally i like noisy games that irritate the hell out of the people at the next table. *grins*
HEY! THAT'S MY FISH!
some cute little penguin game which involves cards with fishes on it. we had to place the cute little cards 8 by 7, then place our penguins on it and try to eat as many fishes as possible by moving the penguins around.
OKAY, i know i've made the game sound kinda stupid, but it requires the working of our wrinkly brain too.
this game is a little difficult to explain like this. if you're interested then play it the next time!
HALLI GALLI
some fruit game which has already been mentioned in the previous post. the guys in my table are apparently quite weak this game, i don't know why!! *whispers* i think they can't count properly =/
GIZA
OMG. this game. i can fall asleep while playing this game! please don't make me play this game again. i'd rather give up my fish and chips to the guys than play this again! =/ requires just ONE person to complete 3 pyramids or sphinx but it'll take a looooooooong loooooong time. and people can actually remove what you've built and everyone only has 1 more per turn which is very very slow. kinda boring IMO. i'm sorry!
PIG PILE
okay, i don't have much comments on this game because i sucked at it. basically it's a card game, somewhat like UNO, but there're actually times when LUCK is the only thing you need. ROAR!! so each round the winner gets 3 little pigs, the runner-up gets 2, and the 2nd runner-up gets 1. played 2 rounds and the 3 guys tied the game. all of them got 4 pigs each so no overall winner! they only win cuz they're born in the year of the oink! CHEY!
CARTEGENA
LAST GAME OF THE DAY! some pirates game, which we must try to help our fellow jailbirds out and onto the tiny ship.
something like chinese checkers, which you must jump jump jump and try to get to the other side quickly. i'm the big loser (AGAIN!) of this game and i'm sad. no further comments!
ok finally i'm done with the games!
so,
good food... CHECKED!
nice games... CHECKED!
friendly staff... CHECKED!
nice environment... CHECKED! (and yep! the cushions are really really comfy! :) )
- $15 for our pitstop package with maincourse, soup, drink, 2 hours of gaming.
- $2 for extra 1 hour of gaming
