Not your typical mahjong day
Dear Chibi,
It’s been a while since I’ve played some mahjong with some newies, so I invited a few interested friends over to learn/play/chill on the weekend =)
Shortly after their arrival and a bit of chit-chat, our hunger took over so we ordered some pizza. While waiting, we started to refresh their memory on the game and started explaining all the basics and goals. It’s not a very complicated game, since I understood it when I was about 6-7, but it still requires skills, a sprinkle of love and a touch of luck. I play it mainly for the love and excitement I get anticipating my next draw, and of course being ambitious for some big wins.
Jacky mentored Ray while I was responsible for teaching MZ. MZ learned a few things today, like reading 1-9 in Chinese characters! woohhhooo! lol Next time he’s gonna learn to say all the characters in Cantonese, and learn the “random” tiles ^^
After a little practice, MZ and Ray both learned to say “Serng” and “Pong!” Except Ray kept saying “Sec”(win) when he wanted to “Serng”- Ray, that scares me =p
Team A: The Sicklies
Ray may LOOK normal, but he’s holding Lemon-honey tea there ;)
Team B: The Imitators, we like to tease the sicklies (we weren’t sick, honest!)
So, who was the better player……..? *drum rolls………….*

ME! ahaa! According to who? Me of course! XD In the 4-5 hours of Mahjong we all managed to make some wins! Very proud of both MZ and Ray, they both made huge progress :)
Unfortunately, Ray’s little sore throat in the morning turned into a full-blown cold by the evening, so we decided to have a break. Ray took a little nap while Jacky and MZ started playing some shooting games on the wii.
Afterwards we had Mum’s home-cooking for dinner..mmm… I was a bit surprised by the amount the guys ate, actually. I wonder how they can fit that much into their stomachs? ^^; I guess that’s normal for guys? lol
Anyways, I had a really great time :) Hope they enjoyed themselves too.

Sounds like a fun time =D. If you weren’t really sick, isn’t it really uncomfortable having to wear that XD?
lol, I’ve never worn one before so I thought I’d do it for the fun fun anyways! It was a bit hard to breathe in actually, but it kept my face pretty warm at least ^^
very proud of my student Ray who picked it up very quickly and remembers the strategies i taught him. MZ did a mad job too. I had to use 7% of my full power but i underestimated chibi, she had the most wins…i knew i shouldve used 7.1%….
LOL! You think 7.1% could defeat me?? XD XD XD You under-estimate your opponent!
Thank you Jacky-sensei =)
You have taught quite a lot. And I didn’t even know you could make such awesome combinations =D
Kya! Thanks for having me over. I will be there again in an instant, sunshine, rain, hail, or even sick. Probably.. not the sick bit, because next time if it happens, i’ll give a preemptive notice. Thanks for taking care of me too =D You’ll make such a great mum one day.
lol. Please leave the mum comment until I’m about 30 or so. You make me feel old XD XD XD
Thanks for coming :D
You’ve inspired me to learn Majong! Now… where’s a school!!!
hmmmmm..haven’t heard of a mahjong school now that you mention it ^^;; But yay you’re interested! Have u asked around? Surely one of your Asian friends might know?
