After my driving lesson today I went to Cineleisure, where we were supposed to meet for Sarah's birthday at the Long John Silver's. I was the first one there, since I knew my lesson ending at 4.30 would allow me to reach by latest 5.45, and I waited around with my coke Slurpee until I met Elaine!

Then we went to find a cake, and decided on apple crumble at this place called Spinelli's at Heeren. After deciding the timing and everything, we returned to LJS, waiting for people to come for about 20 minutes before finally Melody came!

And a bit after that Sarah, Kai Xin and Xiaowen appeared, apparently having walked around for a while after not seeing anyone at the LJS. Actually before the three of them came, Elaine suggested changing to Subway, since we like it more. When they came, followed by Terence and Jeremy, we proposed Subway, and the guys were so relieved! Terence even said they'd meant to da pao the subways.

We managed to get a long string of tables, and were joined later on by Rayshio, Jiayi, Tse Mei and Ben. Then ensued dinner, photo-taking, talking and merriment. Jem had to go for CG, so we quickly took a group photo first!

Under the pretext of just going to Spinelli's for fun (KX and XW left), we surprised Sarah with the apple crumble with a candle on it! Thanks to Rayshio's prisoner cap question that was occupying them at the table, she hopefully didn't see Jiayi and Tse Mei waiting for the crumble to be ready and for Ben to return from the restroom.

We went back to Cine for Sarah to play her guitar hero, but it was booked until 10, so we went down to check out the karaoke which was expensive, then we went downer to look at the movies, contemplating the 'comedy' Friday the 13th, then finally went to this place called Indo-Chine.

By then, it was only Rayshio, Jiayi, Tse Mei, Elaine, Sarah and me left. So while they ordered their Expensive Drinks, we sat there taking photos, talking and listening to the live music - 2 guitars, 1 bass with singing.

I needed to go home, and we left at about 10.20.

I want to complain that after so much time on Rayshio's prisoner cap question, he refused to reciprocate and listen to my prisoner cap question, which I think is slightly harder. Though it made me happy when he said I solved his one quite quickly, though I THINK I might have heard it before, so I know the route to solving it.

Out of annoyance, I shall post my question:

There are 5 hats - 3 white and 2 red. There are three prisoners lined up in a single file facing one direction. Each person has a hat put on them, without knowing the colour. The person in front cannot see anyone else, the person in the middle can see the front person, and the person at the back can see both the other two.

The person who can tell what colour hat he/she has on must tell the warden and will be let off the death sentence. Mere guessing (and getting it wrong) will cause him/her to be hanged.

I confess I can't quite remember how the question was phrased, but it was up to the first person to guess his hat colour, while the other two couldn't. Then you're supposed to say how he guessed.

Oh well, it all goes to show I'm not a very good quiz giver.
