~The one with the Monopoly game~

It was a typical Sunday. Gloomy skies, wet streets and more rain predicted by the weather-man. My sentosa plans with my intern friends has gotten cancelled because of the bleak weather forecast. It looked like it was going to be a Sad Sunday. Instead of having a relaxed morning, i woke to have my internet and my gtalk playing pranks on me. I couldn't log onto any google website or sign into my gtalk messenger. I was really upset and thought i had no other choice but to format my lappy( As you can see....i m a computer dummy). So the rest of the morning was spent backing up my data on my external hard drive.

By afternoon, i had finished backing up my data and was all geared up to format my lappy. I took a quick lunch and came back to start the formatting. I made one last attempt to try signing into my gtalk...and guess what..it started working again! Woo hoo! I didn't have to format my lappy anymore. I was back to my happy state.=)

I headed down to Charu's place in the late afternoon. Her parents had gone to Cameron Highlands in Malaysia and we were going to take this opportunity to rule the house. We headed down to the mall to get groceries for the feast we had planed ahead. Pop-corn, drinks, chicken and other random things. We then trudged back home to get started with the cooking. Charu was the chef and me and Param were her assistants. Due to the late arrival of the 2nd assistant (Param), 1st assistant (Me!!) sprung into action and helped Chef Charu to cut up the food. Chef Charu was busy mincing the chicken fillets and boiling potatoes. It was only after the arrival of 2nd assistant Param that 1st assistant Preeti could take a break. 2nd Assistant Param helped with the mashing of potatoes and washing of the dishes. She also learnt how to make Chef Charu's delicious sausages first hand! It was a pretty sight indeed! Dinner was prepared in under 2 hours and consisted of Shepherd's pie and yummy sausages. (We don't believe in healthy living, hence we do not serve veggies):P
Now it was time for some fun. Monopoly was next on the menu. The engineer against the two accountants. Afraid of some embezzlement scandal by the accountants, the engineer took up the daunting task of becoming the banker. (:P)

Game was going smooth...the 1st and 2nd assistants kept going to jail leaving Chef Charu to rule town after town. She started building houses, and then hotels. Chef Charu had a whole empire set-up while the 1st and 2nd assistants fought over Marvin Gardens and Indiana! After 2 and a half hours of hardship and struggle, 1st assistant Preeti finally declared bankruptcy. As it was time to 'close shop' , 2nd assistant Param and Chef Charu began counting their assets. Chef Charu emerged has the clear winner.Then it was time for 1st and 2nd assistants to head back home. After the final photo-taking ceremony, they headed back home feeling happy and satisfied. They had had a delicious meal and a wonderful time @ Chef Charu's place! It was a wonderful Sunday after all..!!=)
