Title	Simple Pleasures
Date	20 March 2010
Location	Esplanade Park
No of Agents	10

One saturday afternoon, 10 agents. We had fun.

The weather didn’t turn out as how we expected. It was drizzling. Nonetheless, the mission had to go on.

After the agents gathered, we started out with 2 rounds of hide & seek in the rain. It was one unlike any other we all’ve probably played before, instead of the urban city scape, you’ve to blend in with nature, hence many of 0ur agents resorted to hiding in the bushes, behind trees, or even up the tree! We were so well hidden that most of the passer bys didn’t even notice that we’re playing a game of hide & seek.

As the rain got heavier, we proceeded down to the underpass to play catching (tag). In order not to disturb the other people in the underpass, we brisk walked instead of running, which ended up rather funny to us and the others who even stopped their practice to watch us play. The location also added a challenge to the game as the catcher had to work out his strategy using the many pillars and corners in the underpass. We also played various card games in the underpass as we wait for the rain to stop.

As the sky cleared, we proceeded out for the last game – to hide the board. Though one might be wary of it’s size, hence not very easily hidden, it blend in well with the surroundings and it proved to be a challenge as we took turns, 2 agents at a time, to hide the board while the others struggle to find it. Our creative agents hid the board well, among the bushes, up a tree, and even into the ground.

Though exhausted, we all left with smiles on our faces.

Here is what one of our agents, Ter Shien, had to say:

I think Simple Pleasures was a short, small but a very fun event. I had tons of fun, even with such a small group of people, because they were all great. To be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to this event because of the number of people, but who knows, I had much more fun than I actually thought! I’m really looking forward to such events again! (PS fast-walk catching was the BEST GAME EVER!)
