March Activity - Majong

Key says

This is one activity that involves our friend as at least 3 person is needed to play majong. Luckily, our friend is willing to host and join us in our monthly activity. Unfortunately we are unable to find a 4th person so we were playing 3 person majong instead.

As it is supposed to be just a leisure game, no gambling of money was involved but we still play with chips so as to determine who is the winner. Luck is definitely on my side as just the second round, I managed to win the round with "Da San Yuan"! At the end of the day, my friend lost all his chips and Pat only left with a little! 

After the majong session, we went to Lola cafe for our dinner and bid farewell thereafter. However, we will be having our monthly activity with the same friend again in May!

It's been awhile since I have played mahjong and I was quite thrilled when it's was our March Activity. Coincidentally it was also the first time that we have played against each other in mahjong, so it was quite interesting to see how it turns out. Sadly, me and our friend was trashed totally after playing the 4 winds. As we only had 3 people involved, it was considered as a fast game. Nevertheless, it was quite fun to play mahjong. Maybe next time Key wouldn't be so lucky. =p

Lola's Cafe

Key says

The first time we went to Lola's Cafe, the waiting list is too long and we did not managed to try it. The friend who played majong with us for our March Monthly activity happened to stay nearby Lola's Cafe so we went there for dinner after our majong and luckily we do not need to wait for seats.

The food is not too bad and I like the braised pork goulash, though it is a bit thick and strong in flavour and should go well if there is a bowl of rice. The nutella tart is good but abit sinful and thick too. All in all a nice place worth visiting but not worth waiting for too long.

PAUL

Key says

We did not managed to try Paul when we were in Paris, though it was on our travel list. Since there is Paul at Takashimaya and it so happened that we were at Orchard in the morning, we decided to have our breakfast there. Overall the food is not too bad but nothing amazing as well (in my opinion). Nevertheless, I am happy that Pat is so happy to be able to try it out, and the photo of her satisfy face was the first post of my 100happydays.

Pat says

Yeah!! Luckily Paul had open stores in Singapore, as we did not managed to try it in Paris. The hot chocolate was super thick and dark. But too thick for my liking. I felt that I could have a sore throat because of the drink. The omelette would be my choice compared to the breakfast set. Cheese and eggs always mixed well together. Sadly, nothing much to rave about. Perhaps I had stuff that I had ordered wasn't the correct choice.

100 Happy Days

Pat says

I believe quite a number of people have heard of or had embarked on their own 100happydays. At first, I didn't really knew what the challenge was till I chance upon the website for the 100happydays.

It was launched last Dec 30 by a 27 year old, Mr Dmitry Golubnichy who lives in Switzerland. He believed that happiness is a choice and everyone can be happy just be appreciating the little things in life that one has. 

I think that is an awesome and I feel the same about happiness too. What made me try this personal challenge was because I read on the web that "71% of people tried to complete this challenge, but failed quoting lack of time as the main reason". I felt that since so many people usually fail such a seemingly easy challenge, it must be hard to a certain extent. But I didn't believe I would fail it. 

So to test myself, I decided to embark on my own 100happydays! And! I pulled Key along to join me too. It can be like a couple activity together as well. =D 

Thanks to Key's amazing idea, we started the challenge on 1 Mar so that we can remember which day we are at. We highly believe that perhaps one thing that is more challenging for this is to actually remember which day we are at. HAHAHA.. so we are on to an awesome start!

We will review our thoughts of this challenge after our 100happydays!
