The 8 “Working” Hours

Last Saturday, I asked Thorben and Aggy if they want to try the new Burger Chain called “Shake Shack” that just opened on Friday. From the article that I read, I was more excited to try the shake other than the burger. But for Aggy, she’s not a fan of burger but she will tag along anyway, Thorben currently not doing his strict diet so he agreed, at least until we knew that it took 2 hours to be able to order our burger and there is no burger in this world that Thorben and also me and Aggy obviously want to wait 2 hours for, therefore we switch to the next place. Aggy recommended a new British restaurant, the location was quiet nice too, it wasn’t that far from where 3 of us lives so we went to a new restaurant called Fish in Xikang Road.

The menu is called Godfather. We waited for 40 mins and Thorben said probably the food is as big as the table and when they brought it to us, it was true! haha The waitress did said it is for sharing between 2-3 people, but they only have 2 prawns and 2 breads 🙁 and there were 3 of us…please add 1 each haha 😉

After having lunch here, we went to Thorben’s to play the board games. And yes board games with a “s” because this house got every games of the year! Thorben wanted to buy snacks first and guess what are the snacks???? FRUITS! haha yeap he’s not on a strict diet but still eating healthy stuff, its good tho 🙂 Aggy also bought the grapes from that specific shop in front of Thorben’s apartment because the grapes are seedless, which is AWESOME! and Marina made the brownies for us!!! AMAZINGGGG!! This weekend can’t be more perfect!

My roomies- John arrived, followed by Brendan. Marina was reading something from her kindle, so at first it was 4 of us played the game called Confusion in German language. But hey, at least I learn a new words 🙂 Blau, Rot and Gelb hahaha blue, red and yellow what a useful words, I was getting good at this game, Aggy didn’t like this game so much. So we changed to a more confusing and chaotic game called Dopple which is Double, in every card they have at least the same drawing and we need to be fast to put it on the other person’s card. Thorben won this game twice, it is fun! doesn’t require that much concentration but we were chaotic and we don’t really know how to call this things so Aggy just said “Canada” because it’s the leaf that exist on Canadian flag and few other things. Marina was filming when we played this game and Aggy this is not a stupid game 😉 I really enjoyed playing this game haha!

Thorben already won and he helped me to see which drawing that exist on the other person’s card.

Then we played the game card that’s called “The Game” which is we need to sort out the number from 1-100 and 100-2, this is slightly similar with the game card called “The Mind” that we played before, but this time we can speak a bit. Thorben said if we have a card that is +-10 from the card on the table, we need to shout “STOP” so that’s what I did but maybe I shouted it too loud, I took the instruction very seriously 😉

I was eating Marina’s brownie and other bread it was soooo good, but due to my left hand was grabbing the food and my right hand was holding the card and I can’t do it so I need to put the cards down or grabbed the card not in a good order and John can’t stand to see the messy card on my right hand tsk tsk tsk roomies… Brendan arrived almost when the game ended, he knew this game so he also helped me to put the card strategically so we can all use the cards, no card left behind 😉 #I like the spirit!

And since 6 of us were here, so we played!!! CATAN!!! I’ve never played this before, so I was confused on how to play it, but they said it’s not as hard as it looks like. Thorben’s got the extension of the game, like seriously this house has everything! Brendan was patiently putting the pieces into the supposedly correct place.

Marina was the winner of this game! She’s the first one that reached 10 points! wohoooo and she was the nicest one, when she got a chance to move the robber, she moved it to the dessert awwwww! hahaha Thorben was upset with John because he stole the harbor that Thorben’s wanted, and me… I was only able to built 2 cities, 1 settlement and 3 roads mwahahaha this game took us 2.5 hours! when we finished this game I thought it was already 8:30 and Marina said “what happened” Aggy said “The Catan, that’s what happened” hahaha

We ordered food because the 饿了么 should be close around 9-ish, we ordered roasted chicken, they ordered 3, I wasn’t that hungry so I thought 1 is enough and we still have Marina’s brownies and everything but when the food arrived, thanks God they didn’t listen to me because the portion was so small hahaha.

Last game that we played was “The Wizard!” again I never played this game before and the card between the Wizard (Z) and the zero card (N) is written in somehow similar way so I was a bit confused at first…or should I honestly said the whole 9 rounds hahahaha 😉 so Thorben helped me to let me know which card should I put first blablabla and by surprise I was leading the game without even knowing the rules hahaha #facepalm! But finally on the last round, 10 out of 10, I got the rules and I lost! mwahaha got -10 points…hmmm did I really get the rules?!?!?! big question mark here 😉

Marina was neck to neck with Moi!

By the time we finished the food and the game, it was already 11PM hahaha! we were there since 3PM and ended up until 11PM, it’s a total 8 hours! just like a full time job that requires 40 hours a week which is 8 hours a day! hahaha #mindblown!

Thank you Thorben and Marina for your complete board game collections, brownies, snacks aka fruits, chocolates #drooolllingggg 😉 and also Aggy, Brendan and John that helped me through the game and “patiently” explaining the game rules 😉

#Back to work before another holiday again! haha Ciaooooo
