My my my. I had a really good break during the CNY.
On Saturday, a few of my family and friends came over and we all had dinner together. There will be a post about this showing all the pics of the food! yum yum
After dinner, we all decided to play some mahjong. So I taught my cousin and her boyfriend to play and we played a few games. Not bad, but as usual, when we all start to do something new, it is slow. I am glad that I am a teacher because my students have trained me to be patient while allowing others to figure out something new.
On Sunday, after service, I had lunch with Edmund W. We talked about so many things, it was so cool. I am really glad to be making a new friend at this time in my life.
After lunch, I called a friend and so ended up at his place for dinner. We all dinner (Pasta and Pizza) and then we all decided to play Monopoly. I have been waiting to play for so very long, but as usual, the game got so ugly with the wheeling and dealing that I was put off all over again. I wish that I could find people who are willing to play according to the rules and play it well according to the rules.
After Monopoly, I introduced them all to Citadels. That was a really fun time. By the time we were done, I got home at about 4am.
On Monday, by 1:30, the same 7 of us had gathered at another friend's place for lunch (leftover pasta!!). All of us sat down to play one round of Citadels before the guys all sat down to a massive war on Axis and Allies. It was a good battle, but the Allies finally won.
The ladies decided to go through all the games that I brought and played Niagara, Boomtown and Blokus.
Dinner (MORE pasta! good pasta too!) was done while playing games.
After dinner, the hosts introduced us to a game called "1000 Bornes", a simple card based french racing car game. That was really fun. Then we decided to play Mahjong. So I taught 3 ppl how to play and 5 of us took turns to play. This time, the new players learnt the game very fast and the game moved quite smoothly.
By the time we were done it was about 4:45am. So I crashed at their house before taking the bus back (4 bus stops) home.
I spent the whole of Tuesday being very productive, cleaning the house and clearing work.
I had a great break, but am now at home with a still hurting throat from last week!
