You said a boring childhood earlier but reading is actually not boring...it brings one to another world of imagination altogether which is quite equivalent to play time except more abstract using the power of the mind.

Libraries! It's true, my parents did buy me quite a no. of books, but most of my reading was from borrowed books. I didn't actually learn to read till I was 6 yrs old (parents didn't think it was necessary to read so early). My parents, though educated, are not really readers, and didn't read to me. But they never stopped me from reading as long as I had completed my homework and (when older) done my chores.

I was brought to NLB (central or Queenstown) sometimes during vacations, but I mostly relied on school library and friends, and rereading old favourites. I was a regular at the school library - 2 books a day every day there was school. The clerk in charge of the library would always tell me when she got new books in as she knew I was aways on the lookout for more things to read. And my mother, a teacher, would borrow books from her school library for me during the school vacations (since those books would be just sitting there unused anyway).

Few months back I wanted to try roller blading again but that place has no railing for me to hold..after a short while I took the roller blade off. I don't want to have a fall at this age the last I ice skate was before covid. That time I was still not that worry of falling. Now if we want to try better at some more conducive places.

A social deduction game is a game in which players attempt to uncover each other's hidden role or team allegiance. Commonly, these games are played with teams, with one team being considered \"good\" and another being \"bad\".

Those social deduction games which I play are :
Werewolf
Secret Hilter
Avalon
Hail Hydra
The Resistance
Salem 1692
Blood Bound
Deception
Saboteur[/quote]

You are privileged to have access to so many books...so lucky!! Books were not so readily available during those days for us. Other than schoolbooks, during preschool time, we did not have access to that many books. Think most of my reading started after I went to primary school, with school library and then national library....so I loved books then, even the smell of the books obsessed me... Also family culture, parents not so highly educated, studying was not exactly important to them... I remembered once I was so absorbed in my learning in preschool, reading and writing ferociously away, my mum asked me to do a household chore and I delayed, my entire schoolbag was thrown out of the house!! :rotflmao: It's funny I think about it now but I did not think it was funny then. Luckily no traumatic effects on me, only an interesting memory now about parents then and now....天和地

Strategic games are not my favourite, I am more indulge in social deduction games nowadays.[/quote]

AEIOU also...but why only 5 stones. I remember it was like picking up 1 stone, 2 stones and 3 stones. So need to strategies (wah big word lol) the 1, 2 or 3 stones from which position.

childhood time, we shared 1 corner with an uncle doing the watch repair business. After closing hours or weekends we use that space to play doctor/nurse/patient game. Skating along the front row of shops and jump skating as the last shop is abt knee height lower than the rest. So agile arh thinking back.. how time flies..now feel lao kok kok

That is dangerous. Even as a kid I wouldn't have dared to do that. Maybe if we were playing on the 2nd storey. I still remembered hearing a loud and sickening 'plonk', got out and saw this young man lying motionless and very dead on the 2nd storey balcony. He was doing drugs with friends upstairs and must have felt very high then when he fell :shock: . I never played in the 9th floor hall after that.

Catching spiders is what we used to do too... but all the spiders I caught simply ran away whenever they were call upon to show their prowess, so I lost interest after a while.

My life must sound so boring! I never played any physical games in school - too lazy and too uncoordinated. Too uncoordinated even to cope with 5 stones! I just read, and my friends were readers too. I guess we were the little group of nerdy ones in the corner that everyone else ignored.

I played some board and card games with my brother and cousins, but only occasionally. I mostly... read!

Good memories. When I was growing up, I always hang around with my bro and our neighbours (all boys) so I was introduced to gollie (actually I could only watch as they discriminated me and I was really lousy), hide and seek (between several hdb floors where we stayed. My bro even jumped over the parapet and hid 'outside' of the block (now on hindsight, it was so dangerous my bro could have fallen to his death), catching spiders. At my dad's factory nearby, I would go catch grasshoppers and dragonflies for fun. Very tomboyish things I did when growing up. No barbie dolls or masak masak.

Five stones, zero point, hopscotch and catching! Yes, Pepsi cola 123 too. And I don’t like my white shoes getting stepped on![/quote]

Five stones. I always had a set in my pockets.

This shorty here is also quite adept at zero point last time. Can cartwheel to clear those high ropes. Now ask me to cartwheel I will crumple into a heap on the floor.

The string thingy that we loop on our fingers and players gotta take it over and make patterns without it unravelling or tangling. No idea what it's called.

Oh yes you prefer the strategic board games type, at least you knew even at a young age..
I did not think that much about games when young...just played because the opportunity was there to play...
