Visit to Settlers Cafe

Yesterday after work, went to Settlers Cafe near Clark Quay with Junguo, Tiong Kun, Lionel. Reach there quite early compare to my usual timing, sad, this mean less overtime and have to do another partime job. When I reach there, the rest of the guys are already there, waiting for me.

The place was quite small compared to what I have expected. As i have reached, we begin to select our orders. The prices of the food is similar as compared to other places like Cafe Cartel. But me being a poor guy have to order just ala carte fish and chip. Junguo is also poor as he order only a drink (kidding, he have his dinner already). Lionel order spaghetti, dunt know with what ingredient (never notice, engrossed in my own juicy food). Tiong Kun is the richest, order the fish and chip full set. Anyway, we order quite long, almost 10 minutes due to Tiong Kun's indecisiveness. Luckily, the service crew attending to us is quite a patient lad.

After taking down our orders, the service crew ask if we want to play any board games. Lionel and I actually dunt want, save money. But Junguo, Tiongkun wants, so we have to play loh. Anyway, 12 dollars per table seems fine. So we begin playing, we decide to play a boardgame ( dunt remember the game title, sorry). It is a game that allows us to send scholars to school of other players. And the scholars got enter into the school, they will earns different amount of income depending on which school they enter. After the ends of few rounds, the player who have most money will win. (can guess who win already) So we proceed to playing. Tiong kun keep helping me and Junguo thinks we allie so he start helping lionel. Both of them make it very obvious. Me try to play fairly, helping whoever give me more benefits. Lionel play most fairly, and in the end, he emerge winner of this game, congratulations, with the help of Junguo. Tiongkun is the loser with the less money remaining.

Next boardgame is Munchkin, where we play with magic cards. The cards got differents type; which type of peoples, which classes, and negative and positive cards to choose from. After defeating each monster, we upgrade one level. The person reaching level 10 wins. On the last few rounds, I get a bad card, allow the other two guys (Junguo, Tiongkun) to choose any of my power cards. Sad to say, this ruins any of my chances to win. Junguo with no challenges won this game. Need to add on is that the food need to wait quite a while, and all of us are starving but the fish and chip quite delicious, maybe taste so because I am very hungry.

After the game. We decide to leave and the receipt is served to us. I then know that the game is charge by an hourly rate instead of just of table rate. So, I have to pay $17. That is a lot for a thrifty guy like me. The rest of them also pays until become poor, especially Tiong Kun for ordering a set meal.

Next we go McDonald a few distances away. i actually intend to chat, but end up listening to tiongkun's lame jokes. But he at least give one mathematics question that is worth listening. Well, after that, it is time to catch the last bus. On the bus, i happen to see an poly friend, Yong Xin with his girlfriend. Me will catch up with him one day to have a nice chat. Anyway, late already, go back sleep. Me will be bugeting my spendings the next few days.
