Halloween 2009 in Casual Clothing

November 2, 2009 — Ben Ng, Benjamin Ng, boardgames, Duncan Chen, Get a Letter, Halloween, Halo-ween, Jeremy Yap, Julius Chen, Julu Chen, Karl Lee, Ken Guo, Pictionary, Pictionary Man

I don’t recall Halloween being so much fun until we had a mini gathering at Ken’s place on Saturday. As he had mentioned in his Facebook message to us closer to the party, it will be “cozy” — and it was.

The sudden downpour on a Halloween night left me competing for a cab around dinner time. For the first time in my not so many years in Singapore, the cab hotline service tested my patience. But that didn’t dampen my party mood. Sadly, I arrived late and delayed Ken, Julu, and Karl’s desire to nourish their bodies with food. (Sorry guys!)

Ken did not fail to impress us as a superb host — from his lovely home, to the Halloween accents, awesome desserts + liquor, and the Halloween MP3′s (which I think scared the hell out of Karl haha) — he really made sure all of us had a great time. Thanks Ken!

That was the roundest pumpkin I've ever seen in recent memory

Yummy - biryani, curry meats, western appetizers and desserts, Japanese skewers

I also bought two (2) boardgames to keep our minds active on a rainy night.

Instead of drawing on paper with clues on cards, you use whiteboard markers on the Pictionary Man and a few other objects. The mystery word is displayed electronically at the foot of the P-Man.

Ken's artistic impression of "Little Red Riding Hood". We were teammates and I blurted, "The Exorcist" Haha

"Eye Exam" by Julu. Quite clever huh.

For this game, two teams compete at the same time within 90 secs to get as many "letters" along such A-Z strip to their side by naming a person/item based on the category. Julu and Karl did well on "class subjects" ; Ken and I did well on "int'l hotel chains". Hmm, there goes the age difference.

Play the above boardgames + a few others next time you visit my place. But until then, Google these — they are very entertaining.

Julu and Karl bullying Ken. Such ungrateful guests! :p

Later that night, we stumbled upon Ben, Duncan, Jeremy, and other friends in their costumes.

I was telling Eugene and Veria, two friends I had lunch with earlier on Saturday, that I can’t stay up beyond 3am anymore. That’s why I couldn’t believe why I managed to last until 5am. Well, Halloween only happens once a year so I’m glad it was truly worth remembering… and I didn’t need to dress up so much for it.
