Dinner invite

by FeR on June 29, 2008 in family & friends,food

I felt honoured and blessed to be invited to a supposed family event for Sandra’s birthday. Despite being surrounded by the sea and having many coastal towns/cities, salmon is a treat, apparently!

(How I miss the RM1.90 salmon sushi at Sakae…or are they not RM1.90 anymore?)

Dinner
Ceahn (I think that’s how it’s spelt) really curious on what was happening in the kitchen.

Dinner
I forgot kitty’s name…
[Edited: It's "Arnie" - spelling may not be right]

Dinner
Hmmm…
Despite making faces when she first tried the udon noodles, it was the udon that she gobbled up!

Dinner
Yum!
Bak choy with noodles and salmon steak.
*drools*

Dinner
Birthday girl and FeR.

We had a game of “Fictionary Dictionary”!
It is quite interesting – all you need is a dictionary (preferably an old one so you’d have funky words in it) and paper+pen for each player.

You take turns to pick a word from the dictionary that no one knows the meaning to, then ask everyone to write down what they think the word means. You pass your answer (written on the sheet of paper and don’t let anyone see your answer) back to the person who picked the word and that person would read out all the “answers”.

The “fictionary” part is when you give your answer – and the objective would be to fool the other players to pick your “fictionary” word (you get points for that) while at the same time, trying to guess the right answer (the person who picked the word would also read out the real meaning of the word – pandai-pandai jumble the answers up so that no one would guess lah).

Initially I bodoh-bodoh, so wasn’t able to make up “answers” that would convince people to pick my answer – I had the lowest score.
:bum:

But it was great fun!!!
We should try it when I get back to Malaysia (apart from the normal rummy sessions! :hee: )

Hey, I played a game something like that before…called Balderdash with proper cards and all. Fictionary Dictionary sounds like an innovative variation! Too bad you’re all the way in NZ if not we could try a session of it….:(

NJAPF: really? I’ve never heard of this before…and I thought it was just something made up with creativity and a budget to keep to. :P
