Same Old Saturday

It was Saturday again, and it seems that I've been doing the same thing on consecutive Saturdays, just that the order is different. Have played mahjong then went KTV last Saturday. This week is the reverse.

Meet up with FL, S and SW at Chinatown for lunch at 130pm before going to K. I had a rather late breakfast only one hour earlier as I had wake up pretty late in the morning. But still ordered quite a lot of food at the hawker center, and managed to finish them.

As we were walking to Oriental Plaza after our meal, we met Dorman, the ex-MIS guy at ECQ. He was also going to KTV, albeit at 茶人之家. We stopped and chatted for a while, in the process, he gave us his name card.

At the K, it was the first time I came with SW, and he always chose those "hard to sing" songs IMO, like 王力宏's songs. Beside this, it was the usual mix of songs that we all dedicated. After the 3 hour plus session of 飚歌，my throat a bit buay tahan liao.

Decided to go SW's place for MJ after K. Went da bao some drinks and tidbits from a convenient store and also got some egg tarts and puffs from Tong Heng Confectionary. FL said their egg tart is delicious. Took a cab down to SW's place after this.

SW's is not as empty as he had described, though there were not much furniture as well. Indeed one of the rooms is used as a store room. We had to teach FL the basics of the game as she was still not familiar with all the rules yet. Also had a trial run of 4 games. Took a break for some food after that. Then SW took out some old photos to show us. Those photos were taken while he was studying in Wales and working in China.

By the time we settled down and got into the real game, it was already past 9pm. As FL is a "new hand", we played 3/6 one-quarter rate, half of what we usually play. Game play was rather slow as FL was still getting herself acquainted with the game. And this was pretty tiring for the rest of us, who were not used to this type of pace. Nonetheless, we had to train more MJ kakis so that we will always have enough people to play the game as and when... :D.

After some 4 hours later, we had finally completed one round of play, by which everyone was exhausted liao. The final tally was that S and me won $8, while FL only paid $2.50 as 学费 for the trouble. SW lost the most, even though he had changed into his 汪旺 red T-shirt before the start of play.

Shared a cab home with FL and S at the end of the day.
