'Self touch 13 orphans or 13 waist...?'

Proof of my self-touched 'Sap Sam Yiu!!' Wah...so proud! ^_^


I got 'ji mo sap sam yiu' today at mahjong!! (a.k.a. Thirteen Terminal Hand / Thirteen Wonders)
RE--> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Mahjong_scoring_rules
十三么 (8 fān + any tile in the same set)

Known in English as the thirteen terminal hand
or the thirteen wonders, this occurs in 13-tile variants when the winning hand consists of one of each one, nine, wind, and dragon, and a 14th tile that matches any of the other 13. Because the hand is so greatly divergent from the standard hand, this hand is generally considered the highest scoring hand of any kind (although it is not the hand that is least likely to occur - the nine gates is said to be some 450 times more rare), barring criteria that are probabilistic in nature. Thus, in scoring systems where a maximum point value is imposed, this is often an automatic maximum-point hand.
Wahhhh so happy! Made up for my deep fall into the abyss the other day. Although I didn't come out top (which Viks did in the end), I didn't end up rock bottom. A certain lalachai ended up with -50 points eheheheh... kesian... This is so so bad for my body's biological clock. For the last week and the half, I've been sleeping at 6 or 7am and waking up at 1-2pm. Really doesn't bode well for starting hospital work again next week. Die die dieeee...

Well, at least #1 on my to-do list is done, for now
