The week that was

Well, this week was quite eventful…Chia Yee is back for 2 weeks so we’re trying to keep it as action-packed as possible…

“I was bullied by Ronald McDonald”

<-- Kodomo mitai! ~Like a little kid~

The picture says it all, doesn’t it? I’m sorry the quality isn’t too good, my camera phone is a dinosaur (by phone-years, of course). But you can clearly see Yew San crying because Ronald McD refused to let him sit on his lap. Hmm…Yew San, don’t worry…I’m sure Colonel Sanders won’t mind you sitting on HIS lap!

VANITY SIGNS

In the States, they can personalize their car number plates. In Malaysia, we don’t have that luxury so we have the next best thing, Vanity Signs. I’m sure you know what I mean, those yellow signs we stick on the car that says “Honk if you’re horny”, “Don’t’ follow me, I’m lost too” etc etc. I came across this gem of a sign the other day. It says, “This is a stupid yellow sign”…haha…Kawaii deshou? ~Isn't it cute~ It put a smile on my face as I went by. I hope it put a smile on your face as you read this too.

LESSONS FROM MAHJONG

My relatives have come over often to the house to have rounds of mahjong. And I dare say, it has been an eye opener to all the little rituals related to playing mahjong. Among the little rituals practiced if you’re not winning:

i. Stand up, turn your chair a full 360° then sit down again

ii. Go to the toilet for at least 3 minutes

iii. Move the table

iv. Make chopping gestures at the player who is dominating

v. Throw the dice from in between the mahjong tiles

vi. Get something with teeth to bite the player who is dominating (examples are below)

vii. Leave the table, take a short walk then return.

viii. Make sprinkling gestures to the dominating player

ix. Wash hands in the bathroom

x. Grab the dice from the other person

xi. If everyone goes for a walk, make sure you are not the first to sit back at the table

xii. Bring eggs to the table in hopes of getting more Jokers

xiii. Make random noises at the dominating player, for example “Hoi!” “Cheh!” etc etc.

xiv. Rub the dice vigorously before throwing them

xv. Keep the dice and pretend you have no idea who’s having them

xvi. Wear yellow, red or any colour that gives off “ong” vibes

xvii. Count the numbers on the dice wrongly

Hmm...That’s all I can think of right now. If anyone has any other little rituals they would like to share, you know what to do! Leave a comment and maybe we’ll compile a list and publish a book on this!
