Are You Game Updates!

Who says BOARD games were only for BORED people??

On Sep 2007, our fun-loving Brightonites and their friends turned up enthusiastically for the “Are You Game?” event at Quality Hotel, proving that playing board games is the cool way to pass a humid lazy afternoon.

While waiting for all the participants to turn up, some of us helped ourselves to the yummy-licious hi-tea spread; enjoying each other’s company while chomping on the tasty morsels.

The rest of us familiarized ourselves with the games available and the rules of play. The Green Team even gave themselves a head start, playing Saboteur while waiting for the event to formally begin.

Warming up…

At about 3.30pm, the various teams streamed into the ballroom and took to their tables to begin their “warm-up”. After selecting their game of choice, our affable game masters introduced the rules and regulations of the respective games before starting play.

Before long, the entire room was abuzz with excited chatter, and exclamations of “Hey, how can like that one?” and “Oi, you sure or not?” Some groups had serious gamers with concentrated expressions and leaning towards the centre of the table.

Alvin’s friend, Rongli, was playing Pictionary when we approached him. “This is the third time I am joining activities organized by Brighton, and it’s my first time playing board games in such a setting. It’s great fun and I am definitely open to joining you the next time round,” he said.

Similar first-timer to such game-playing setting was Shinn, Weiyang’s friend. It was also Shinn’s first outing with Brighton. He was having a ball of a time playing Take 6 when we interrupted him. “I am enjoying myself a great deal this afternoon. I played Saboteur just now and I also signed up to compete in Transamerica later.”

In the midst of playing in their respective teams, Brightonites and their friends were also busy signing up for “The Final Showdown” – which involved sending a pair from every team to compete in each of the 5 selected games: Ugly Dolls, Diamant, Pictionary, For Sale and Transamerica.

Competition starts now…

The Final Showdown started at 4.30pm. The team representatives took their seats at their appointed stations and the battle began. Competition was stiff—judging from their focused expressions—with every pair determined to inch their way towards the top position.

Shrieks were heard from the (mainly female) Ugly Dolls table, with players competing to snatch up the identical cards they spotted.

Over at the Diamant station, a serious “do-not-disturb” air hung over the table as players decided if they should persist or give up on the next card.

The group playing Pictionary was inching closer and closer towards the drawing board as they concentrated on figuring out what their teammates were drawing. Xin Xin’s friend, Mei Yee, was one of the players for the game. She commented “This is definitely not my first time joining such activities by Brighton and I am really enjoying myself!”

The guys at the For Sale table looked cool and collected while trying to outbid each other for their properties. Joe’s friend, Kenny, was competing at that table. He shared, “This is my second time joining such activities, though I also play basketball at Brighton Sports Club on Wednesdays. And the reason I keep coming back is because I find Brightonites a fun bunch to hang out with!”

Transamerica too had its players engrossed in the game, attempting to connect all their cities together without using up their points.

And finally…

After a gruelling hour of competition, the winners for each game were decided. Ephraim and Jessy won at Ugly Dolls with the fastest eyes and reflexes, while Xin Xin, Mei Yee & Yeli took the top honours for Pictionary.

Jacqueline and Linda emerged the top property speculators at For Sale and Chin Teck single-handedly beat all the other pairs at Diamant – a commendable solo effort! And Vincent and Cheryl were the winners for Transamerica.

Last but not least, the overall championship went to Vincent’s team!!

It was indeed a fun-filled afternoon of laughter and interaction. New friendships were forged and camaraderie was strengthened. A big thank you to everyone for making this event possible!

Street Soccer Challenge Updates!

There is the English Premier League but then, there was the "Brighton Street Soccer Challenge"!

Two Sundays ago, there was a huge wave of soccer fever rushing through the whole of Singapore! Tucked away in Geylang West Community Centre, we saw 10 teams of players travelling from all parts of Singapore, gathered together to place their best legs forward.

Competition was stiff & teams fought "tooth-and-nail" to inch their way up for the championship. With team names such as "Lightning Strike", "Ablaze", there was little left to imagine about how 'fast' & 'hot' the competition had been. That said, despite the ferocity in the team names and the intensity in which the teams played, hot tempers were totally far from the court!

Needless to say, the presence of pretty ladies among the soccer fanatics were definitely felt on the ground too! Putting on their most enthusiastic smiles & fanatically waving their poms-poms, these ladies were all out to support their favourite teams. Children were also part of the cheer leading team, showing their support for their heroic daddies sweating out on the court!

Team "Dark Horse" led by Caleb lived up to its namesake! Despite their seemingly older players, "Dark Horse" proved to their challengers that they were not to be trifled with. With each match, they rose up the ranks as they took down the younger players with swift & experienced moves.

The Man of the Match would have to go to Ricky Loh, who showed such intensity during play that put the younger competitors to the test. Most notably, Ricky 'wow-ed' the crowd with his 'high leg lift' & shielded a group of female soccer fanatics from a flying stray ball!


The final match was a tough fight between "Hope Utd" and "Zhot". Both teams were equally persistent and a draw game seemed to be in place. However, "Zhot" emerged victorious after kicking in the vanquishing shot that gave the team the winning goal! "Liverfull FC" came in the third placing quite contentedly, as the players were flaunting their bronze medals.

At the end of that day, the court had seen numerous tough but friendly matches, and all the players enjoyed a good "sweaty" workout. Most importantly, friendships were forged between all the players from different teams & sportsmanship was evident despite the competition. Some of these teams have already arranged for more friendly workouts during our weekly Wednesdays Sports Club!

They came and sung!

We called out for songbirds who wanted to sing, and last week, people came and they gave more than singing! There were the dancers, the stage performers, the actors and of course, the indian man who sang hokkien songs! The participants came and belted popular tunes which showcased their powerful vocal chords, and for some, their fancy footwork.


The highlight of the day, was the Karaoke competition, which made the event more than just your usual karaoke session. Out of the 64 participants in all of the 6 rooms, each room came forward with their best soloist, and their best part to sing a duet, to pitch against the competition from the rest of the rooms. The stage belonged to everyone who stepped on it, as all the contestants sang, dance and impressed the judges with their charisma and stunning melodies.

Zhifeng was in the middle of singing his favorite song when he was being interrupted. However, despite the intrusion, the KTV enthusiast beamed for the camera, and he shared that he was invited for the event and he readily agreed, thanks to the friendliness of the group of people he was singing with. And he really enjoyed himself, when he unabashedly showcased his talent from the room, to up on stage during the competition.

And then, there were those who are not your frequent KTV goers. Shiqi, a friend of Peiyi's, was found to be surrounded by her songbird friends, even though she hardly touched the microphone. When asked why did she still come, she happily said that the people who invited her were very fun to be with, and it was friendship that brought her to this event.

Not everyone had an easy time though, especially if you were in the shoes of the judges. Having had professional training and experience, the judges rated the contestants based on stage presence, vocal talent, showmanship and audience engagement and team rapport for duets, Eventually, they had to make a decision.

At the end of the day, the winning soloist was David who sang 背叛 (bei pan), and the winning pair was a brotherly combination which was made up of Eric and Kangwei, and they sang 左右为难 (zuo you wei nan) , complete with a little drama to add a bit of spice to the competition.

Everyone had a great time, as the winners walked away happily with their gift vouchers, and the rest of the people, with new friendships formed and new found singing friends for some!"

Street Soccer Challenge!

Ole-ole-ole-ole... O-Le! O-Le!
