Dave and Buster's

My group went for a group outing this afternoon. We had a short-day work, only until 11.30 am. The place is called Dave and Buster's, which is sort of Olive Garden on one side, and Timezone on the other side. It has food and drinks, American I'd say, though I ordered an Italian one. It also has -- lots of games!! :D
Yeaah, excitement! That's what we need, isn't it? Right before the design and coding phase begins.. :p

So it's sorta like Timezone (back home), or Game Works (around here). I finally played something! Usually I just watched people played. We found something like a roulette (the thing that turns around and stops at a spot), that gave me back 20 + 40 tickets, which seem to be a lot but not really compared to my friends who got 40 + 80 tickets :p
I was desperate not knowing what else to play, so I stopped at something that also turns around, but this time I had to push/pull a handle that will throw a coin to the turning table, .. and hopefully the coin will go into one of the holes on the table. Hey, it WAS hard! Or more like, it was mostly by luck that the coin can enter the hole. I was given seven coins, and after trying for 2-3 times, I felt I'd just enter all the coins and throw them.. whenever wherever. Right at the end of it, when I started picking up my tickets, my friend who was watcing me play said, "Hey you got 500!" Yeaaah, five hundred tickets! I was like, what the, are you sure, I didn't hit anything, I didn't even know what I was playing. But yah, I got about 500 tickets :). Don't blame me please, this is only once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing.

At the end, I exchanged all my tickets, which totalled 629 tickets, with some stuffs from its store. I got.. a bag full of hair bands (or hair ties? don't know what the correct term is), then three more hair bands (or ties), and a candy lipstick, for who knows what. Ok, ok, they are :S.. well, I couldn't pick anything else, I didn't have many options since the others within budget weren't that good (or useful), you see. But I'm so happy with those hair bands cause my sister and I actually need them :D

After that, I tried pool, the first time - ever. So glad my team lead was really kind and encouraged me to try. So sad however, that I couldn't even hit the white ball right. I could miss hitting even the white ball!! But a friend told me how - not to miss it :p, and his suggestion helped. I was really enjoying it :)
What a day!

But oh, I still haven't played the.. car racing games!! Maybe next time, hehe.
