It was a rainy sat when i headed out to Ngee Ann City to meet up with yx, kx and her sis kaili (kl), for the Silkair monopoly challenge. Was late as i had a chat with my younger bro to get him to study harder for his coming O levels.
Reached there and registered for the 2nd heats before heading down to brunch at the food court in Ngee ann city. A bit of a crappy lunch as the food was not at all fantastic for the 4 of us. Soon, it was our turn for the monopoly challenge, alas.. we did not know that only the top 16 players with the most amount of winnings can be promoted to the finals thus we had entered into different tables, else we would had arranged in such a way that we play on the same table and 'pass' our money to one of us.
I managed to bankrupt one of the players (#1)at table 19 although i didnt want to (cos it will end the game) as the banker says that i have to bankrupt her cos she has nothing left. =P So i ended with $47850 worth of cash and assets. Meanwhile, kx was bankrupted at table 13 and kl also lost on table 17. Yx was crowned the king of monopoly as he emerged from the table as the winner with $100,000!!! He was in the top 16 as we left after heats 2. However, i had overheard friends planning to join in at the same table and 'pass' money to one player so that he will end up with lots of money, and we were also tempted to do the same thing but .. nah... it wont be fun anymore.
Went to Yx's place as kx wanted to play with his husky ... called ... husky. =D Didnt really dare to play with the dog, although i got to massage his neck for a while (#2). Maybe one of these days will play with husky as he seems rather friendly.... if i manage to grow bigger balls. =P
It was back to tampines for soccer and friendly betting at $1 (#3) and too bad newcastle didnt score. Tsk tsk... nonetheless, it got a point. =)
In short, it was another wonderful day out with them and some good goals from tot spurs.

good thing you didn't move on - i won day 1, and went down on day 2. after spedning money on cabs and food, and time... i lost in the second round and got nothing . even though the silk air website said we would get tickets. nothing. not even a tshirt. they asked me to come back at 530, then when i went, they asked for me to come back at 8pm! with a sick daughter just out of hospital, had to go home. spent $150 on things and wasted 2 days - got nothing. well, except the game was interesting on the big board. but not worth all the corporate schlocking had to do.
no tickets? hmmm... must be those small prints in the clause.
Didnt go down on the second day, well, i guess it would still be an experience, they should have provided T-shirts and stuff for the 2nd day participants though.
Nonetheless, hope your daughter and your family are all well, healthy and happy! As that is more important than winning the monopoly challenge. =)
