Monopoly

Bought home this favorite childhood board game of mine weeks ago, but only managed to play it for the first time with my elder son just today.

It's like a reminiscence of the fun I had had when I was young, and a reminder how grown-up my son now is, for I had always longed to introduce this game to him even before he was conceived.

I used to play this board game with my brothers and cousins, and the one most enjoyable time was after SPM exam with my all-girls' school friends in Pauline Tan's home. It was non-stop laughter and giggles playing it for a few hours straight. It might also be because of the weight lifted from our shoulders caused by the exam pressure, nevertheless, it was one of those few moments in my life I wouldn't forget.

This time, I finally had the chance to play it with my son, and seeing how much pleasure he gets from it made me feel so contentedly happy. And I must admit, I still enjoy playing the game, somehow. It would be more fun when the younger ones can comprehend and join us in, but they were too young at this moment of time, crying desperately for my full attention to them instead. Gosh.. not easy to juggle the time among the 3 of them.

This version I bought is the "Malaysian" version, hence the familiar names like Petaling St, Mont Kiara, TNB etc. I haven't have time to fully look at all the details but I wouldn't have thought the most prestigious area would be.... that place. Which location you think would be set next to the "Go" before you cross over and claim the salary of RM2000? (If you play this game before, you would surely know what I mean)
