Of mahjong and chinese new year, you will see a lot of cauliflower aunties playing mahjong. Pot bellied and balding uncles in one corner playing their favourite poker and smoked all night long. Most probably all the Ah Sei's (maid) job will be very pack too.
Mahjong, each of those tiles that is as big as your thumb is shuffled and played by four players. The sound of the clashing tiles filled every night during the Chinese New Year is enough to make you sleep less and stayed up late for more Chinese New Year night movies. My opposite neighbour was not loosing out too. They have the biggest team (3 mahjong tables) and ours just one!. It is enough and deafening added the shoutings of winning and losing effects.
I always wonder why the Chinese would come out with such an addictive game. Why couldn't the Chinese come out with PS 2 or other game consoles in the early days? Imagine if the Chinese came out with Nintendo, Sega or PS 2 in the first place instead of SONY.
You will see pot bellied and balding uncles and cauliflower aunties crouching by the TV and holding those consoles. PS 2 is green and will have four keypad consoles. Navigation symbol will be named after North, South, East and West. Those X, O, Square and Triangle buttons will be some other mahjong symbols. Urgh! Speaking of cauliflower aunties, i observed some of them are spotting the long straight iron-ed hair nowadays. What will michael called these aunties?
Anyway, Florence won her first mahjong game:
