Settlers Fun and Crazy Time (Dar Dar)

I personally find it difficult to comprehend sometimes, in the advent of computer technologies and the major milestones in gaming technologies, that we still find joy and soulful entertainment, playing boardgames in the company of friends.

While 777 Singaporeans tied the knot on this aupicious day (070707), we got together at Settlers Clarke Quay. Reminiscing the days gone by and also to celebrate Vincent's and Albert's birthday, we got comfy and cosy on the huge couches and sofas in Settlers. To begin with, everyone was late for one reason or another. Hahahaha. Anyways, eveyone took their time to settle down and we were particularly keen on experiencing new boardgames to tickle our funny bones. We played the classic token on the board games and card with tokens games. Can't really remember the name of the games but one particular game that I would love to play again was Taboo (Singapore edition). It's just like carades; except you can describe vocally the word on the card that been picked out from the deck, but you can't mention any of the "taboo" words depicted on the card. All before the last grain of sand slides through the hourglass. Vincent was the record holder, averaging five words per play, mostly of which Darling getting it correct to the amuzement of the rest.

All in all, a great day at Settlers! We summed it up with an ad hoc photo session at the Speakers' corner, now essentially an open patch of grass for sporting activities like frisbee and soccer. What a great way to mark 070707!
