Hellboy 2

Today went out to have a Hellboy movie outing with the following people:

1. Edwin
2. Bay
3. Wei Long
4. Geraint
5. Edmund
6. Kenny
7. Me

Thanks to uncle for lending the car. If not, I don't want to be drenched when coming back.

PS carpark is super 'cunning'. The first time I entered the car park, I didn't go up to the top levels as I thought there will be ramps for you to go up. But it was a set up! As I went to the end of the carpark level, there is only downramp for me to proceed. So I proceeded lor, thinking the carpark was a basement carpark.

To my horror, as I moved on to the 2nd ramp, I was going out of the carpark! Luckily, there was a grace period of 10 minutes so long as you exit the car park within 10 minutes, you will not be charged of any fees.

Never mind, I went back to the car park again... (Actually a lot of drivers kena tricked by the car park design) This time round I went up to Deck 4. But also, to my horror, I ended up exiting the car park! There were no vacancies around, so I had to go down ramp again...

The third time, I told myself, just go up to the highest level and start going down looking for a vacant lot. Unsurprisingly, there were a lot of parking lots to choose from at the highest level. I just parked my car at level 6 lor.

$6.75 parking charges + $1.50 ERP = $8.25

Had lunch at Carl Jr's. This time round I knew to use the SAFRA card to get 10% off the price. Hehe. Had Chicken Club set. $10.35 after discount. Not too bad.

After that we walked to The Cathay House to watch Hellboy.

At first, I thought it was a comedy film. But it's not. It's a war between some super sci-fi characters and those ancient kings. Nothing to rave about and Edmund fell asleep somewhere through the movie and had to be waken up by Kenny. LOL

After the movie, Bay suggested to go Mind's Cafe to have some high tea + games. It was the first time I visited the cafe. The cafe had an interesting concept to it, play games among your peers. I find it quite interactive and it allows you to socialise to make more friends. Price was very affordable partly because Wei Long is a member. We only enjoyed 2 hours out of it because of the time constraint. The package allowed us to play for 4 hours with free flow drinks.

The games we played were:

Snorta: I knew I just kena occasionally. Later in the round when I got more familiar with the names and game rules, I kept winning over the opponent. Haha~ Easy game with those who got photographic memory. Edmund won the first round and Geraint won the second round.

First Hand: This one as mentioned in Bay's blog, he kept losing. Wahaha~ Obviously when you can't pose with your hands as shown in the pictures properly, you lost automatically. Wei Long was super good at this. Guys, beware of him!

Ugly Doll: This one Geraint was pro at it. As soon as he saw three of a kind, he shouted "monosodium glutamate" as the codeword and slamed his hands on two of the cards. I got 10 cards at the end. Not too bad liao la! Poor Bay only got 1 card. Again, he lost. Wahaha~ Bay, you were just too lousy la! To think you actually introduced us this cafe. Kenny was super high on this and his scream was like killing the chicken.

Taboo: I seriously had problems expressing and hinting the answer out! How I wished I could play the game speaking mandarin. LOL~ But guessing wise was not too bad. Again Geraint was very good at guessing. Think because me, Edwin and Bay were those Chinese type, no wonder we lost la!
