Board gaming has been another one of my favourite activities since a few years ago when I was introduced to it, properly.

It all began with my search for a Cashflow workshop to attend. So far I did attend quite a few of them, and each of them was very beneficial. Then from there when I searched further, I managed to find a good meetup group headed by Colin, who was the founder of Settlers' cafe.

I remember first meeting Colin at the Granado Espada blood donation event this January. He was setting up a small booth introducing board gaming and I joined in since that time I was not eligible to donate blood because my last surgery was less then 3 months ago. He taught me a few games, including Station Master and Blockus. I had to leave early because of a meeting afterwards.

Little do I expect that I would see him again months later in his meetup group that I had randomly signed up for. Of course he couldn't recognise me even though I could. The group of us played Monopoly, and that gave me a whole new insight to how Monopoly should be played. We played Shark after that too.

From then on I learnt to play quite a number of other brilliant games like Dominion, Race to the Galaxy, Citadels, Agricola etc etc... The whole fascinating thing about board gaming is the kind of interactivity between the players which affects the whole outcome of the game. A 'new' kind of multiplayer platform I would say, without the disguise of being behind the computer monitor.

I have found yet another few of my passions =)

Dear Princess,

I was strolling around the common gardens last night when I saw a group of butterflies wading their way across the dark sky. How do I see them you may ask, the butterflies were bright and radiant with white light. A stream of trail was following them towards the direction of the stars.

At the end of their trail, I saw someone dancing on top of the fountain. She was emitting the same kind of radiance the butterflies have, as they flew towards her. They danced with her rhythm, her steps, her moves.

Then I saw a familiar face. Her familiar face. For a while I refused to believe my eyes, but it got clearer by the second.

She was beautiful.

I sat down on the grass to watch her dance but before long, the butterflies flew to and surrounded me. I could feel the warm of the radiance. It felt like a blessing spell being cast on me. Perhaps it really did.

She wasn't there when the butterflies left, but this would be another part of the beautiful memories with you.
