A Mud Fest At Ben & Jerry’s Chunk Fest

Jerry’s Chunk Fest looked promising and that is why a bunch of us decided to go down and hopefully have a time of our lives by celebrating “Peace, Love & Ice Cream”. The weather didn’t help at all and it rain for at least an hour or more right before Fort Canning Green open it’s doors for the festival. There was mud everywhere with the hot sun ensuring that the mud on my white shoes were baked to perfection.

Hendri pretends to call someone after looking and the other two openly laughs about it.

 


We decided to go queue for some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream while waiting for the Vernmonster eaiting contest to start and it was a very bad decision. A never ending queue which we gave up after moving hardly 5 metres in the space of 15 minutes. Only Yuhui had the resolve to continue waiting and he ended up queuing for more than an hour to get some ice cream.

The Vernmonster eating contest was badly held as well. Only a handful of teams were chosen to take part and they had the teams eat the ice cream on the ground level instead of the readily available stage. I could only see a sea of humans surrounding the teams and didn’t even get to see how the Vernmonster combo looked like.

The only saving grace of Ben & Jerry’s Chunk Fest for me? The funny MC, the cool foam machine and the great company.

Boardgame Fun At Pitstop Cafe!

Computer and console games are great fun with all the graphics, gore and maybe nudity – depending on what you play you see. But there are some of us who still love the good old boardgames, and that is when we turn to places like Pitstop Cafe to scratch this itch of ours.

Jointly organized by Nadnut and myself, we brought together a bunch of peeps to Pitstop Cafe on her introduction and after arriving there, I realized why she loves it there so much. The staff were helpful and the atmosphere was good and the food ain’t too bad! I’ve been to 2-3 other cafes of a similar theme and I dare say that Pitstop serves the best of the lot.

Some of the games we played were Blokus, Spy Alley and I’m The Boss!

Attendees were Farinelli, Brian, Leonard, Eunice, Arzhou, Nadnut, Joey, Vincent and myself.

And yes, that is Eunice in a cosplay maid’s dress. And apparently, she flashed at Nadnut. Who said that boardgames are boring affairs?

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA~!!!
