Sunday afternoon we were called for a game of Starcraft - and we haven't had had a game for quite a while now. Had 'Nic pick us up and landed at Mage early enough to lunch before the battle began. We didn't get the Zerg this time, but ended up as Executor Tassadar of the Protoss.
And just like the PC game, we tend to favour Zerg > Protoss > Terrans. In fact, in both the PC and the boardgame we have no idea how to play the Terrans! For the PC game we tend to deviate from the tried-and-true Battlecruiser fleet and instead bring out Ghosts and nukes, while for the boardgame the Terrans are too versatile that we had no idea what strategy we should be aiming for!
As Executor Tassadar, our job was easy. Reavers, High Templars and Archons. Unfortunately we fell foul to an early Zerg rush by 'Nic the Queen of Blades, thus hampering our resource and expansion for a round.
4 Zerglings vs 2 Armadillos Reavers. Massacre.
The Chief picked us up after Starcraft for dinner followed by some R&R at the Chief's place - although all that took place was that we ended up sleeping while the Chief played Professor Layton. That is one game that's easily accessible to anyone and everyone!
The night wasn't wasted - we did wake up to end the night with supper at Murni's because we had this craving for Indo Mee goreng and claypot lou shi fun.
And Wesak Monday had the two of us braving the traffic at SS2 so that we could walk about the pasar malam. Honestly, it's our first time at SS2's pasar malam and we both made a foodfest out of it: XXL fried chicken strips, guava/lemon/assam juice, corn in cup, sugar cane and lemon by the bottle, crispy apam balik, taiwan sausage, fried pork slices, char tau kuey, assam laksa, coconut water, and er er er some sort of kuih we can't recall what it's called.
And there was choir after that. And all the Tenor Ones weren't around. Lucky for us we the place didn't start smelling of char tau kuey when we sang.
And to cap the Wesak Weekend? DotA. Yes well we're a wuss as we only play against the AI but then again we all wanted a happy ending so that we could go to bed happy to face the working Tuesday. :P
This coming weekend? High Altitude Fun!

It is actually *chai* tau guih while the white, circular kuih is called tu tu kuih :-)
Shuku: Large Sharp Pointy Objects are not healthy for a PC or a boardgame!
Cyclohelix: Play back SC1! It's still good. :)
William: "Baa Ram Ewe. Baa Ram Ewe."
Why does the crowd scare? :S
Yin: Pasar malam food is always good! :D
The Chief: No wonder. We keep thinking of the 'kok-kok' sweets.
