Mahjong, the balance of life

Advertisement

Time is the luxury I can’t afford, that’s what I’ve been telling people around me. Working life is stressful, especially if you are in my position and it’s something I will not write more. (You know me then you know what I’m talking about)

The balance of my life - mahjong. If you think this is an old man’s time passing entertainment, you are fucking wrong. I read blogs about singaporeans, famous ones, stupid ones, everyone. Seems like Singaporeans like to play mahjong too, but Singaporeans play 4 sided mahjong - often call 4-kah mahjong.

Now, that is way boring. I don’t know what they like in it. It’s slow, annoying, time wasting. Sian, even my brother in Singapore plays 4-kah mahjong. Damn it. People around me play 3-kah mahjong. Fast, heart stopping, big credit turnover and fast thinker required. That’s what I call a game. I’m such a junkie, will spend most weekends playing. Weekdays too if I have the kakis.

I’m looking forward to accomplish all patterns in the mahjong-finishings. Let’s see,

I’ve finished in these ways,
渣糊
5番(鸡) - 9番
全筒字
全筒字平糊
全筒字对对
小三元
全10番 爆

and of coz these patterns, that pissed people off

天湖
地糊
大四西
小四西
大三元
肮脏糊
全字 爆
九子连环 (九莲宝灯)
盖盖糊
起手4飞天糊
4飞满糊

and my collection is lonely without these :(

[满清18罗汉]
[起手14花]

once I complete this 2 patterns, I think my journey will end and I shall die :)

    haha yeah mj is a really good entertainment, trust me.
    heh to me i still prefer 4-kahs mj than 3. 3kahs mj is like dream mj, u can get all the dream patterns relatively easy, esp with the 4 feis.
    in 4-kahs, your aim is not only to win, but also not letting the others to win. u need to know whether ur opponent is going for 一色,平糊,or any 满糊.
    of cos, besides reading the gameplay and knowing the players’ style, it’s enjoyable in the sense that u can force a one-番 out when ur tiles are really really bad and crush others potential 满糊. this is whr the excitement n satisfaction come in.
    yea if u wanna know why i feel strong towards this destroying other’s hope to 满糊, last nite i was 单吊ing Nine Bamboo to complete my 13 wonders for at least 7 rounds before my fren won a 2-番. haha it happens.

    anw.. enjoy every mj game!! cheers~

    oi, go study la! ;p
    you get every excitement you mentioned above in 3 kah. the difference is, you have to guard your and opponent’s tiles more carefully, as each has equal chance of finishing fast. now, that’s more exciting :)

    Yes, I’m an addicted MJ player too. I was silly enough to buy a cheap MJ set from http://www.terrysnews.com/story.php?title=Direct_Deals-1 and have used it virtually every day.
