Logicmills

Poon invited Andy, Key and me to "Philosophy on Tap" at Logicmills, that school he co-started. The topic was on infinity, and it wasn't quite as interactive as I'd expected, as there was quite a bit of technical background to be covered. Nonetheless, quite interesting and fun! Plus, they have tons of board games! Poon intro-ed us to Lost Cities, Cash n Guns, and Venus Needs Men. All fun games, and I'm adding them to my considering list. Lost Cities is probably more the thinking game, Cash n Guns is a very quick, raucous fun game (where you get to bang people!) and Venus Needs Men is munchkin-like, stop-the-leader fun.

Season's Reasons

Dinner at a restaurant called "Season's Reasons" at the basement of Raffles City. Not bad, and quite affordable - I think it was about $12 and there's a 15% discount for UOB credit cards.

Normally for this kind of place I would not expect too much - confluence of high rental and "low" price usually results in not-very-good food. But the pasta was of a decent quality and the chicken pieces were quite succulent. Not too bad, would definitely give the restaurant another shot.

Australia - Cairns - Impressions

Cairns is a beautiful city with really nice beaches...


Well .. maybe not this view. More like these...




As with any nice place with a decent airport, it's very touristy - but that isn't always a bad thing. For example, they really cater to you, for example with nifty little notices like these...
