Yay I can finally check off my to-do list. I had a picnic at Fort Canning on Wednesday. I brought my tiramisu and some sardine curry puffs. We settled on a spot right in the centre of a large tiled expanse and we laid our checked cloth and placed all our food there. Mark's wraps were really really good. It's a great and novel idea to put caramelised apples into the mix, as it contrasts nicely with the saltiness of the ham. And he made them himself! I really have to get funky and experimental when it comes to recipes. That is truly the mark of a good chef. We had a great time just talking and eating and it really helped that the weather that day was gd. The trees gave us shade too, but after some time, little seeds or fruit started falling like rain and that was a bit distracting.

We set off for MINDS cafe at Prinsep St to play some board games. How long has it been since I dragged out my monopoly and cluedo!? Too long. I really loved monopoly. Could play it for hours on end. But we tried something different today. No std board game for us. Played a game called Settlers of Kazan. Each player must try to build roads and cities and settlements, which will accumulate points. The winner is the one to reach 13 points first. And you can only build the roads and cities if you have the materials to build it, like brick and timber or wheat. The materials are cards that you receive throughout the game. I felt really stupid playing the game. Maybe I'm a slow learner or I pick things up fast. Either that or my luck was just plain bad. I had the least cities. Paul won the game, but then his mind is fast. So I felt quite small at the end of the game! Hmmph.
