Many Hours of Ma-Jong (麻將)

Emily, Yung-Yu, Lucille came to my apartment to keep me company on Friday. They brought many things to make me chicken soup for my injury. Lucille also brought me a bag of cherry, which she forgot until we had already finishing eating.

They arrived around 3:30 PM. As soon as they got here, they started preparing for the chicken soup. Yung-Yu was cutting and slicing up all the green onions, mushrooms, garlics, and ginger. Emily was washing the chicken drumsticks. Lucille was helping me get settle at our dining table.

Before we knew it, we started playing Ma-Jong. I haven't played this game for a long time; however, I was just as good. At the end of the night, I was the biggest winner ($31.50) and Yung-Yu second with $1.00.

I was so lucky in many ways. First, my hands were great. I had so many different great hands that I had never actually seen in real life (and I used to watch my family play Ma-Jong almost every weekend!). So I was rather excited. Second, I have great friends who would come and help me with things and keep me company. I am thankful.

Oh, there was one little bad thing that night. we could not find one of he tiles. We searched the floor many times with no success. So I suggested that we move all the chair out of the way to search once more. Of course, I had to move as well. Standing up from the chair, I tripped over my right ankle and landed on the toes of my injured leg. The pain along my tendon and the incision was so painful that I was sweating like a pig. Finally, we found it - it was in Lucille's purse. we had no idea how it got in there, but it was there when we found it. Let me tell you...maybe it was because I won the particular type of game combination (see picture) that something strange had to happen.

MAYBE.
