T-minus 1 day

Woohoooooo! Exams are finally over and it’s time to officially relax. ‘Officially’, ‘cos I’ve been doing that the past few days anyway .

Stuff to do before leaving for HK:

- MAHJONG! <333
- Get my camera -__-.
– Meet up with Sarah.
- Download rest of ‘You’re Beautiful’ (if possible!) and burn onto DVD.
– Pack.
- Tell relatives when my plane will arrive in HK.

Anyways. I’ve got to go now ‘cos apparently I can FINALLY! get my camera.

Toodles! ♥

edit; 23:33

Because this post was terribly rushed, I’m going to edit .

Just came back from Ken’s place; mahjonged with Jason, Jacky, Ken. Dinner was homemade tacos; it was really nice ^^. Then proceeded to play mahjong, which resulted in me becoming a little high towards the middle of the game. Being high is extremely fun ♥. Jason became a ’sei zai’, Jacky was an ‘uncle’ and I was a ‘por por’ -__-. Besides that, we listened along to awesome Kpop and a bit of Jason’s Jpop + English songs (which I was actually sort of familiar with!).

Before mahjong, I went off to Towers to get my camera . IT’S FINALLY MINE.

There, the update of my past 5 hours are here.

Good night!

Wiki is always there when I need it. The great invention of Popcorn. But, I’ve still got one question though. If you’re a supermarket fanatics, have you wonder why the exposure rate of the various popcorn brand (eg. Orville Redenbacher’s) are much higher during the Christmas festive season. Something to do with Santa Claus?

Thanks for the awesome souvenir from BKK!

Many of you may be familiar with the following Mac commercial:

This advertisement, I believe, is mostly false. Here are some of the programs you can use on a PC without paying any extra money:
Windows Media Player–Play music
Windows Mail–Send/Receive and organize e-mail
Windows Movie Maker– Create home movies
Windows Contacts– Organize Contacts
Calculator– Vista comes with Scientific and Standard, 7 comes with others to expand calculation possibilities
Windows Photo Gallery- import, organize, and edit pictures and videos.
Windows DVD Maker- Create DVDs
Windows Media Center- Allows to view pictures and videos, and listen to music. Also allows you to get live tv on your PC
Windows Meeting Space– Allows you to easily share documents with anyone anywhere.
Notepad and Word Pad– Assuming you only have basic word processing needs, these programs will be quite sufficient for all tasks. Windows 7 will also ship with Microsoft Office Starter which is comparable to Microsoft Works.
Microsoft Paint– Allows for picture editing and virtual “painting”
Many games– (Chess Titans, Freecell, Hearts, Inkball, Mahjong Titans, Minesweeper, Purple Place, Solitaire, and Spider Solitaire)
Internet Explorer– Allows you to surf the web, connect with friends, and expand the possibilities of your computer by downloading third party software (Which is less available for Mac.)

Making a home movie and creating a web site is part of a suite of applications known as iLife. Whether you know it or not, you’re paying for iLife, and if you don’t have it, it will cost a pretty penny (Approximately $200) to get this suite. All of these things can be done, however on Windows 7. Creating a website is actually part of Microsoft Office, however, there are thousands of third party applications available for PC which will allow you to do that absolutely free: something that’s a bit hard to come by on a Mac.

Mahjong. Esse joguinho de encontrar os pares de peças muito parecidas, valendo apenas quando a peça está com seus lados livres, é totalmente viciante. Existe em versões para jogar sozinho e com 2 jogadores ( um contra o outro). A nossa sociedade ( lá vem eu com essa expressão…) é muito igual também. Segue um padrão universal, tanto de beleza quanto de comportamento. Alguns conseguem formar pares, mas apenas quando os dois pensam de maneiras iguais. Divergência é um fator que, praticamente, não permite a união de duas pessoas. Muitas vees limites nos impedem de nos unirmos, mas podemos ir pelas beiradas e conseguir inverter a situação.

Gente, a vida é o Mahjong!!!

So finally I took the time to watch Akagi after a friend recomended it to me. And seriously this is one of the best shows I have seen. So how can a show about a board game be epic and awesome?  That is what I will tell in this review.

The show starts showing how a guy named Nangou is playing a game of Mahjong against the local yakuza. Nangou is deep debth and suddenly a teenager named Akagi barges in and after waching a couple of games he plays instead of Nangou and at that moment you can say a legend was born. So the story is simply about the ice cold Akagi who is a genius playing Mahjong. There isn’t much more to say about the story. But seriously this show is one of the most epic and suspense things I’ve seen.

Even if the story is pretty simple it’s the interaction between the characters that is awesome. Akagi is one of the most ice cold guys I’ve seen and he is awesome and always cool and collected and one of the coolest character I’ve seen. I guess interaction was wrong word because often you get to hear what the characters are thinking and how they are trying to reading each other and how they will put up their strategy. And this is one of the things that makes it awesome.

Let’s talk a bit about the animation style. I’m not lying when I say that the animation style of Akagi is very very differnet from many animes out there and I was a bit skeptical at first. But after the first episode I didn’t care anymore. And actually the style fitted very vell into the show in my opinion.

The music in Akagi was also really awesome. It isn’t any weird since it’s the same guy that did the death note soundtrack. I really loved it and the music really fitted the show. The opening was really nice and chill. The second ending was better than the first in my opinion.

So what did this anime so awesome? I would say that it was the suspense. Most of the time I wasn’t thinking of will he win but how will he will? And I really loved that kind of suspense. And I think that it got that suspense from the fact that Akagi isn’t winning by just luck and believing in the game and “moral” stuff like this. Akagi wins because of his skills. It’s all that’s to it and I really loved it.

So if you haven’t watched this show yet you should do it. Even if you never played mahjong before you will still appreciate it since they tell about many of the rules when needed to. Akagi get 5/5 riichis from me.

Mahjong-Journey Of Enlightenment

El mahjong  es un juego de mesa de origen chino, exportado al resto del mundo, y particularmente a Occidente, a partir de 1920. En chino también se le conoce como “majiang pai”  y como “maque”  o “maque pai”.

El juego guarda cierta similitud con el Rummy, ya que su objetivo es formar grupos de fichas, como escaleras de números consecutivos de un mismo palo o bien tres o cuatro fichas iguales. Aunque las reglas para jugar son casi siempre las mismas, existen diferentes variantes. La principal diferencia entre ellas radica en qué jugadas puntúan y cuál su valor. Este artículo se centra en las “reglas hongkonesas” (también llamadas “HK”, “Hong Kong” o “cantonesas”), que son de las más extendidas.

También pueden saber mas del este juego gracias a este anime Saki, que esta basado en el manga de Ritz Kobayashi, donde nos cuenta la historia de una chica de secundaria cuyo talento es el jugar mahjong.

I don’t have the time right now to write a huge long ass blog about last night (which was totally awesome) because I want to try out the new way of beating Megavideo that I learned on Facebook. So this will be very short and funny. Hopefully funny.

Last night after Chinese finished (By the WAY! Count: DONE! DONE AND DONE AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH) I went straight back to Glenny to meet up with YL to go to Whitty’s house.

Now, I have to warn you, I’m going to have to drop a lot of new names this time because I was catching up with a bunch of people, some of whom I haven’t seen in over four years.

I found YL with El, Jez and Elmo. We were going to take the 754 but Reb was late. Had to wait for her, then we took the next bus to Whitty’s house which is in Rowville. Honestly. Where the bloody hell is Rowville? It feels like Woop Woop.

On the bus I just happened to see Nina who I went to primary school with. We had a long chat about how things were etc. Exchanged numbers. Very good.

Elmo kept on falling down whenever the bus took a turn, so when Jez warned us “left turn coming up” YL and I grabbed Elmo by the shoulders and tried to hold her in place.

FINALLY got to Rowville (I swear China was closer) and it was a hot walk to Whitty’s place. Got there and everyone else was there already, playing Mahjong.

(And, in the blogging style of Katherine)

Hi hi how are you nice to see you again oh mahjong sucks where’s the drinks?

Drink drink.

Laugh.

Play with dog.

Make a few jokes about Swin.

Make many jokes about YL.

Then they decided to play Twister so Mani, Huey and I hid into Whitty’s room and played with his electric guitar. Then Cat joined us. She sat behind the door so when Whitty ran into the room, throwing the door open, she got hidden behind the door.

“WHERE’S CAT?!” He asked.

I started laughing hysterically, because right behind him looking absolutely terrified was the girl he was looking for.

“I have no idea,” Huey managed to say.

Whitty ran out of his room, and Cat’s phone rang. She pretended she was outside. We could hear Whitty in the next room saying, “WHERE ARE YOU?”

We re-joined the rest of them in time to watch a massive orgy happen on the Twister mat, where YL is flashing everyone. Sat down on the couch and started throwing stuff at the players to make it more interesting. Started a pillow fight by accident.

Then we had this weird ass game where you get a cup of milk/water and pearls, and you have to (and man the double meaning is tenfold here) suck up all the pearls, keep them in your mouth and don’t swallow, and then in the end spit them out. The person who spat out the most (as in kept the most in their mouth, as in sucked up the most) won. I got 9. YL got 9. Law got 13. Cat got 1. Everyone else swallowed. Baha.

Then I accidentally started a straw fight. I blew air through the straw at Mani. She blew back at me. I blew it towards Elmo. Then she took it to the next level and started blowing everyone.

Oh wait that…well that probably sounded wrong because Law then remarked “STOP BLOWING EVERYONE!”

Cat was made to eat an entire cup of pearls mixed with ketchup. She didn’t.

Then we had ice cream cake. I got 2 slices. It was good.

Then we started watching District 9. Except by watch I meant YL and I sat there and every time something came on screen we would remark that the other is it. So for example when a guy with a bad haircut came on screen I yelled, “YOU’RE HIS HAIRCUT” or when a guy with a big nose came on, YL yelled, “You’re his NOSE!” We had no idea what the movie is about.

Then we played this other ice-cream game. By this point everyone wanted to die, we had that much ice cream. The game (another one by Swin and Ayms) included four whole scoops of ice cream, and weird ass utensils to eat them with. When I say weird ass utensils, I mean a large spork, a spatula, a roast fork, a freaking potato masher, and an egg whisk.

I was screaming at Cat and YL who were on my team to “JUST SHOVE IT IN YOUR MOUTH IT’S NOT THAT HARD!” Apparently someone filmed it and it would probably float onto Facebook some time soon.

My team won.

So then we sat around watching Huey, Mani, Whitty and YL play this weird video game called Small Fighters or Tiny Fighters or something like that. Elmo and I got bored so we joined Cat on the other couch. Cat then decided to try to torture me. Ok I swear I heard her say “Can I talk to you?” I said sure. She actually said, “Can I torture you?”

Whitty discovered that I’m ticklish, and him and Elmo started tickling me. Unfortunately I thrash when tickled, and Cat had to hold my legs down while I nearly kicked her in the face.

Had a group photo outside on the veranda. The dog was in it.

Then we went back to the living room after having locked everyone outside for a while. Then someone decided (and seriously I don’t know why we said yes) it would be great fun to play hide and seek in the dark. The lights got turned off and instead of playing hide and seek we just walked around with my mobile phone lights scaring people. Then Elmo and I sat on a sofa listening to the distance voices of Cat screaming “STOP TOUCHING ME! HELP ME!” It was relaxing.

Got dropped off home by Mani’s parents at around 10:30. Got home, started changing when I noticed my right earring was gone. I figured it must have slipped out when YL decided to play stacks on on Elmo and myself without telling us.

And that was that.

Damn it still ended up being over 1000 words.

Alex.

Choose it wisely

We always hear about people comparing life to a game of poker, like one of the song from Fort Minor called “slip out the back“.

Well, maybe life could be described as a game of mahjong too. You have to choose your tiles wisely, plan each move, and show no emotions. It’s all about knowing when to give up what you don’t need and gamble with luck. It is also important to know when to stop playing and give it a rest.

I myself don’t really know how to play mahjong though. But I’m sure it’s as fun as poker too. Try it if you have the chance.
