Get Together

Can we get together?

Well as Thaipusam meant a lovely public holiday for some all of us, FeR decided to have a dinner and gaming meetup on the eve. A great idea since we haven't met the coursemates for quite a while, and it would be nice to see them in an occasion other than somebody's wedding.

Games played that night was kept to Cranium and Taboo. You can tell just how long it has been since NJAPF played Cranium because she'd totally forgotten how to use the timer...thingy. Not to mention that the humming (because not everyone knew the songs) and sculptoring (because the clay dried up and crystallized!) categories had to be left out, but that still left plenty o' other categories for the girls to keep us entertained...

FeR: Karate Kid? Drunken Master?
JoFo: The Matrix la! That was Trinity!

And lots and lots of, "Who wants to be the puppet? You be the puppet?" for the Sideshow category. Mind you we weren't playing ok, and we keep thinking of 'fetfet' when we hear 'puppet'.

Team Gnilleps was another good one. NJAPF constantly had her eyes closed and needed 3 seconds before calling out the letter, HTeing needed constant hand movements and looked to the sky for help. And we learn it can be dangerous sitting beside SzM:

LMay: E!
SzM: *SLAP* Wrong-la!
Everyone: ...it's correct...

NJAPF, FeR, keep an eye out for Cranium Malaysian Edition? :P

After Cranium it was Taboo. We think this is a good game to keep somehow...the dynamics with different players is always different. There was that time where everyone tried to keep the game family-friendly but of course, playing with peers, you never, ever can manage somehow...

HTeing got us a good wtf moment: "If I have a dead body I wanted to get rid off, I...?" and does dragging motions (answer: Drag). HTeing needed to have her hands tied for Taboo. JoFo, on the other hand, believes in the Gradual Scale Answer:

JoFo: When you go to the orthopaedic...
Janvier: Muscle?
SzM: Sprain?
Janvier: Surgery!
JoFo: Ya! More high class a bit!

JoFo (giving SzM puppy-eye look, willing her to get on the same frequency): If I say, "You're fat!"?
Janvier: Insult!

SzM: Obese?
Janvier: Chubby?
JoFo: Nicer a bit la!

JoFo: When I get angry with you, you should be?
SzM: Scared?
Janvier: Intimidated?
JoFo: Nicer a bit la!
(SzM and Janvier gets scared and intimidated.)

Answers: Amputate, Plump, and Afraid.

Taboo is a good indicator of everybody's...performance, it seems. For the most of us, 'Cannot perform after 2.30am'. For one or two, 'Performs best after 3am.' For HTeing, 'Uses wrong column by 2.30am.' :P

In all, it's been a fun night out. Probably next time we might get to see how cutthroat Monopoly can get.
