Settler's Cafe

Shall resume blogging after a 2 days hiatus due to extreme exhaustion. Went to Settler's Cafe on the fringe of Holland V with Xh, her 2 friends. Denise and Pei Jie. At the Mrt station, Xh tried to dupe us into thinking her friend Brandon Kwan was from Mongolia and required talking to in Mandarin to facilitae easier communication. Unfortunaely, no-one believed her :P. We walked up and down the stretch of road for nearly 45 minutes before resorting to asking for directions. One of the shop at Blk 15 had an eviction notice from the police and for some reason, sent me and Denise into peels of hysteric laughter, before Bk and Pei Jie finally found the cafe.
Settler's cafe has a cosy ambience, replete with warm lighting and pop music playing in the background. The best part of it was the many different kinds of board games patrons could choose to enjoy while dining. We played Cranium Basher initially, a game which incorporated humming, acting, verbal skills, general knowledge, drawing and sculpting. Dee, PJ and me emerged victorious, mostly thanks to Dee's drawing skills and our wild guesses. Next, we played Acquire, in which players had to build conglomerates and eat up small companies to win. Wit the exception of the chess players (Bk, Xh and Tim Wee), the rest of us were clueless and kept on turning to the helpful and friendly supervisor for advice and tips. Xh ultimately won!
PJ, Bk and Tim Wee left so the 4 of us (supervisor included) played Blockus. I really liked the game beause of the simple learning curve, lack of complex rules and brain power needed. We also played a card game "Ugly", where players had to try and snatch cards when 3 of the same pictures appeared. If 2 players were tussling for a card, the one who said "Ugly, Ugly, Ugly" the fastest won.
Since it was raining outside, the kind supervisor very nicely let us stay behind till it reduced to a feeble drizzle. We'll probably come here again sometime considering the wonderful experience we had that day.
Rented "Perhaps Love" to watch at home that night. Decent songs, visually rich sets, emotive acting, an a somewhat cliche but still believeable storyline was marred by poor vcd quality.
