Sleeping beauty

Sunday, March 27, 2005

Jac had her bday party on Good Friday at her house. Food was good, weather was good, dog was cute, crowd was good, babes were good and in all it was fun. The highlight of the night has got to be playing Taboo. Played it with the whole RJ gang of gals, Ryan and Minimingmong. Initially, we really doubted Ryan's ability to play Taboo because of all the English mistakes he has been making on his blog. heh. But of course, Ryan boasted that he has the game at home and he is highly skilled at it.

Some hilarious moments of Taboo, much of which was contributed by Ryan the GREAT Taboo player himself...

Just within minutes of boasting how good he is at Taboo, it was his turn to describe the word. For those who don't know what Taboo is all about, Taboo is a game where one person has to describe the word on the card to the rest of the team. The card contains 5 words that cannot be used in the descriptions. So obviously, if you have a word to describe like "Poison-Ivy", the card would forbid you to use words like plant or poisonous etc etc. Well, Ryan really displayed his wide vocabulary by describing it as...

"A DEADLY VEGETABLE".

It left his whole team baffled as they tried hard to guess what it was. In the end, he gave up and passed. When everyone saw the word, it sent us into guffaws.

Another incident in the game was when Ryan was describing again. I shall let you all try to guess what the word was...

Ryan: Err...err...patterns!...err..up! Patterns up on top!!!
Ryan's Team: *baffled*

Can you guess what it is? The answer is...*drumroll*...

Rainbow.

In another classic Taboo moment, Minimingmong was describing a the second largest planet in the solar system. His team (which is Ryan's team) couldn't guess it, and they started listing some of the planets they know.

Mini's Team: Mercury?
Mini's Team: Venus?
Mini's Team: Jupiter?
Minimingmong: NOOO! The second largest!! *deadpans*
Ryan: Oh oh oh!! The U one!

At this point, I couldn't hold it in anymore and I decided to shout the answer out...

Mingmong: Ur Anus!

Obviously by the laughter I figured that most pple haven't heard that joke before. Ha. Minimingmong also said afterward that he wanted to describe it as "your ass hole" or something to that extent. But then again, it was a good tactic by me cos I caused them to lose concentration and spend some time laughing instead of guessing the next word. Ha.

There were a lot more other classic moments which made playing Taboo sooo entertaining. This game is a must at all parties! heh.

Anyway, there's a way to help you remember the order of the planets in the solar system. My primary 4 teacher taught me this and I have never forgotten it. Just remembet this formula: My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pickles.

The first letter of each word represents the first letter of each planet and its in the order of the planet closest to the sun till the furthest. They are...

Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto

Ok, enough of the nerdy stuff. This is Jac and her bday cake, and of course, no picture is complete without Ryan, Mini and Me.

These are the babes at the party whom I played Taboo with.

I ripped these 2 pics from your blog Jac, hope you don't mind. But, it seems that you did not notice an anomaly in the picture above. Like I said, no picture is complete without Ryan, Mini and Me. BUT, Ryan and Mini are not that important. Mingmong completes all pictures. When I was young, I loved the book Where's Wally. Now, Where's Mingmong??? Ok, a drink to the first person to find me too. Haha.

In other events of the past few days, I had a conversation with a girl who really left me at loss for words. Some of the mind-boggling things she said included, "PMS is period". I was stunned for a moment and I said that PMS comes before a girl's period. But she insisted that PMS = period. *faint* I refused to explain further. Next, she said I am weird because I called myself a monster. I asked when I did that? She said my blog URL is Ming Monster. *Faint again*.

On the way back home this weekend, I was bored on the train as usual. But this time, I had some entertainment thanks to this sleeping beauty.

When I saw him I almost burst out laughing. And it certainly did not help that he does resemble William Hung to a certain extent. I don't know what he was thinking man but then it seemed as though he was taking the train just to sleep because when the train reached Pasir Ris (the last station of the East West line), he didn't get off! Instead, he woke up, stood up and walked a little, and...

went to the corner seat to get an even more comfortable position to sleep in. I didn't want to stay and find out what he was doing there and I got off the train.

Back to work, have a quiz. Glad most people took to my emoticons pics. Haha.
