This was a big night for me. After months of walking by and looking in at the Mah Jongg game I was finally invited in. They didn't let me play, but I got to watch and I had a slice of melon. I don't think they know I can play. They are very serious so I am not sure I want to get involved, but I do love the clink of the tiles.

When I got home from that I had a note from my ayie (housekeeper) informing me that she needs to come TWICE a week instead of once because I am a little bit messy.

WHAT?

I am not messy. My flat is one of the cleanest, if not the cleanest on this lane. I don't know what's going on, but she said she'd be here at 7:30 in the morning so I'd better hit the hay.
