Games Night
Sneaked off to church for Games Night. (I guess many of you have known by now that I am ALWAYS going to church discreetly against my parents objection)

For Games Night, we played many of our Primary School games. There were hopscotch, Marco Polo, Pick Up Sticks, Eraser Fight, and this other game that 2 people have to pass the 'ball' to each other using 2 strings.

Starting of the game was Marco Polo. Thankfully I was never the Marco, I hate to be blindfolded to the core. I played pretty hard, kept dodging the Marco. Many people were screaming as the Marco was coming in our direction. Meanwhile, I learnt something about myself again. It was exactly like what the guest said in "我爱黑涩棒棒堂" (a Taiwanese variety show) when discussing about Horoscope. Libra-ians are typically "知死不知走", literally meaning we know that danger or even death is approaching us, and yet we won't move or escape. There were a handful of times when I was standing so near to the catcher that I was about to get caught and yet I stood there, not moving much away from him. Fortunately, no one decided to sacrifice me to the catcher. If not I would have been caught for quite a number of times. Just that no one wanted to push me to the catcher and hence I wasn't caught.

After that, we played eraser fight at the other classroom. Initially, I suck at that. I rarely was able to flip my eraser nicely on my opponents. However, I got better and better and I managed to eliminate a small number of my opponents. Leonard was super good at it! He was winning several times at a go. We even played with Pastor Ben and Pastor Ben was a pretty fast learner too!

Next, I joined Bernice, Mandy, Michael they all at the game of Concentration and R-O-C-K. I even brought in the TP culture of Concentration game. A more...'hiong' version. Or maybe I would say higher stake version. And yea, I realised that it can be quite rude cause we will go "___stupid, ___stupid, this is a game of ____stupid." at the person who lost. I wonder if it sounds offensive to them after suggesting that.

For the Finale, we played Pepsi Cola. Yes, the one whereby you aim for your opponents legs, particularly knee and below. At the start, I didn't want to play cause I felt that watching would be a better choice, more entertaining. However, there was a team which lacked a player and thus I joined in.

Zhen Ming was really pro. He managed to kill many all by himself. He was always the last few survivor of his team to be left fighting to win. As for me, my first move shocked everyone cause I killed Shane at the very start of the game when I can kill. That really put me in the limelight I supposed, as everyone was clapping and cheering for me when I killed Shane.

Complacent sure leads to one's downfall. For the final round, I was the first one to get killed instead! I don't know the name of the guy who killed me. But in short I actually gave him the chance openly to eliminate me. Reason being, I completely forgot that he was standing behind me. Thus, I did not defend against him at all since all the while I was concentrating on the people in front of my vision that I forgot that there were opponents behind me.

In the end, the finals of Pepsi Cola was only left with Zhen Ming, Mark and Davin. While, Mark won in the end, it was a bit of 'putting water' to Mark. Cause Mark played a bit unfair, he usually attacks when people are talking. So it was like secret attacks? Or was it called backstab? But oh well, it was only a game...

It was getting late and I had to rush back home to prevent the arousing of suspicions of my parents. Even so, I still chose to pamper myself with MacDonalds - McWings meal for dinner and supper. Yea, I haven't had dinner for the day until I bought MacDonalds as takeaway. McWings is seriously my all time favourite meal. I am addicted to it after having it for the first time. Simply delicious! Awesome!
