Had a fun nostalgic 90's weekend, went to Derrick & Joelle's chalet at Arang Country Club in Pasir Ris, it was HUGE,nice and comfy unlike the ones i remember a decade ago.
Went for a 5 min dip in the pool ( because it was rainy), Blew bubbles ( loads), lighted whistling sparklers ( damn! those were loud)
We even played Monopoly but it was the latest Now and Then Electronic version, with the following updates.
1) Instead of boring Utilities ( the electric company and Water works) you now will have to grab the Satellite and Telecoms cards.
2) No more train or MRT stations, its Airports up for grabs now! How spicy is that!
3) Instead of thousands for a plot of land, its now millions for one, making it a more realistic amount for today's soaring real estate and inflation rates.
4) So the aim now is not to be a millionaire
because that's so 70's, now its to be a Gazillionaire! So you must be wondering... how the heck do you count those colourful...flimsy,paper notes to make a Billion? Well... you don't! See pic! You have a Credit card thing where you place in a validator thing to make bank, sale and rental transactions just like cashcard and ezylink card, really Crash Hot and so exasperating at the same time. try it if you have the chance!

For those wondering about the electronic monopoly....its retailing at Toys R Us for $79.90...but other sources have mentioned that its available at pasar malams around the island for much less....at about $30+....
wah the credit card calculator thingy is brilliant! no more $1 notes to mess around with, and no more money-stealin' bankers too! XD
yeah man! On more point to note, the banker will have to be a full time banker if you have more than 4 people playing. Very very busy with transactions, beeping away like ezylink validator on morning peak hour bus service!
