Mahjong Marathon

FWAH~!~!


I can't believe that my first time mahjong session lasted almost 5 hours man...from learning what are the tiles to basic rules and protocol of the game.


Just joined the casino recently and Tuesday nights are "Free Chinese Buffet" nights. Of course have to go lar! The Chinese food there is quite good ok...Moreover, I'm broke from London anyway. Can't afford to go anywhere or do anything else.





To play mahjong is free anytime in Aspers. Just pay 10 pounds deposit to get the tiles and you can play till it closes. Wah, I never expected myself to actually last that long since I could never really figure out that game despite sitting next to my grandma for years when she used to play it.


Thanks to Muse, I finally got some teeny tiny idea of what the whole game is about. There are many many more versions of rules in mahjong, payouts, tiles, strategy, etc, etc, etc...


I can't digest so much at a time...so I learnt the basic one. Even then, I needed some time to actually think that whether I should say "Sek!" or "Pong!" when I wanna get a tile. Most of the time I just go, "Eh, eh, I want, I want!"


A few times I even thought that I won, when I didn't, but I called out to say that I win anyway, so called "Zha Hu". But nevermind, coz Muse let us "reverse play" the game and we continued until someone won. As usual, since it doesn't involve any $$$ whatsoever, I had some luck lar...HAHA~!



Beginner here lar...gimme some time, and I should improve.


The best part of it all?!?!


The whole night of fun was F.O.C. Didn't even spend a single pence.


I can now proudly say that I finally know what mahjong is all about. (a bit bit la...)
