It's official: I suck at mahjong.

Therefore, I had to make a difficult and painful, yet totally necessary decision. I quit.

For real this time.

Last night marked the second consecutive week I headed down to Jolene's place for mahjong. After losing plus minus $20 the last week, I doubled the loss this week: $46.

That's $66 and I think I can buy a bag/dress now. Heartache? You bet.

I'm gonna miss mahjong, there's just something about the game that makes you want to play. But at the same time, it's oh-so-frustrating when you can't win the game. I think there is a chance I may develope high blood pressure from the game. So for the sake of my bank account and health, I am quitting.

Sometimes I wonder if the reason I like mahjong is because I've got a friend who is addicted to mahjong. (Yes, Sharon, that's you.)

Perhaps we can have other kinds addiction? Like perhaps shopping? Heading out where we can see more cute guys? Heh~ That's definitely worth paying for! Meanwhile, I have to hiberate a while to recuperate from the latest slaughter on the mahjong table...
