Because they rock.
A good start to the year is probably defined as one spending quality time with your loved ones.
Not sure if mahjong ever qualifies for quality time but i certainly never fail to feel entertained, blessed and loved when I am with da jie, er jie, ching and van.
5 tai is probably the goal of every mahjong game and a reason to grin from ear to ear but striving for 5 tai was never on my mind today. I just wanted to have a good time with them. Well the mahjong session wasnt good. It was great. Haha.
My year started well and i hope it did for you too.
Cheers.
