Reliving Our Childhoods..

A few of the guys met up on Friday at Puvan's place to chill out. Harvey, Riz, SK, Vana, Prak, Bert and Puvan AND SAT (happy VANA?) met up at Suriya Restaurant along Upper Serangoon Road for dinner before heading back to Puvan's place to play old-school games like snakes and ladders, ludo and pick up sticks. As lame as it sounds, it was actually quite nice to play these games that our junior generations might never have heard of. For the record, Puvan won at Ludo, SK reached the 100 mark of snakes and ladders in less than 5 moves and there was plenty of argument over pick up sticks, no surprise there.

The food at suriya was not too bad but just a word of caution, if you ever order the nasi goreng mutton there, please please please check the price before the mama starts cooking. A few of us paid SIX, yes $6 for a packet of nasi goreng mutton. Apparently the mutton pieces that were used were more expensive because the mama knew the goat, or he prepared it with love or some other similar absurd reason. It was pretty good to taste but $6 is ridiculous! Mamas also dont give chance nowadays la, maybe some of them used to work for Lehman Brothers or something..

After getting sick of the old school games, we decided to play some unorthodox ones like "7-up", "big bully", "answering in questions", "007" etc. It was fun to see people focussing at 2am in the morning, with Sat as competitive as ever. The night finally ended with MiB spooking Riz with all the ghost-stories before heading home on the first bus.

All in all a fun night but $6, sigh..
