mahjong @ 4:17 AM

haha.. mahjong. yes. i've been into mahjong since my aunt came back from US a few months ago. was taught by the master herself. haha. but i must admit, i am a rather lousy student. my aunt says looking at how i play after so long, i should be banned. =( oh well.. i guess it's probably a good thing. i have paid quite a sum for my lessons, indirectly. i think you all know what that means, so i shall not elaborate. hehe.

i must say that mahjong really is a pretty interesting game - one that requires skills and luck, lots of it. haha. mine usually sucks. hence the expensive lessons. haha. i just ended another session of mahjong with my family. 3 rounds in about 6 plus 7 hours, hence the time i'm writing this. oops. it's probably gonna be my last session with them cuz i got kinda angry with my aunt's comments about my game today. anyway, she said i should be banned, so be it then.

in any case, here are the cons of mahjong

1. long hours of sitting - bad circulation causes your legs to hurt
2. i dunno why but my neck and shoulders hurt too
3. bladder problems - it's more a less a custom to take toilet breaks only at the end of 1 round (which usually takes about 2 hours)
4. late nights
5. money matters (haha)

nonetheless, it's recommended for some brain activity and stimulation. =)
