Mom's 60th Bday - Dim Sum and Mahjong Day

Original plan - Dim Sum early, then go to Cook's Town or Vaughan Mills, then back to Hermie's place for dinner.

But last night, we decided to change this plan.  Instead: we start with 11am dim sum, followed by endless mahjong at home :).  Nice and cozy!

Originally, Lil Baby Dragon wasn't going to be able to make it, but then in the morning by the time I woke up, apparently his mind changed.  So before I even walked into the bathroom, Lil Baby Dragon had shown up!  We quickly changed the reservation, and headed to dim sum.  Lil Baby Dragon eats A TON.  He wolfed down bun after bun (and at the house, he had a whole piece of peanut butter smeared bread.  Amazing.

After lunch, we went to get some take out for dinner (ideally I would have liked to cook food - but was vetoed against), and made some home made soup, then started playing mahjong.  Squeezed a dinner in the middle, and 8 rounds after, we have logged 8 hours of mahjong… a full working day! :P

I have to say, these new rules for mahjong is definitely pretty crazy.  Very easy to win with a lot of 'fans' cause of these wildcards.  It does make it much more fun than regular mahjong.  Big ups and downs - Mom at one point was almost bankrupt, haha - but by the end, she actually ended up way above water (now of course, this was with the help of a free 700 chips for everything because of Ema mistakenly thinking she won a hand when she didn't :P).
