MAHJONG!!! LOLOL

I feel so happy.. i'm spreading the mahjong virus.. SO much so that I may actually be starting a mahjong club next semester together with some friends.. best part is.. out of all my latest students.. most of them are like.. of diff races.. the people i play with now range from thai to italian.. LOL...

Examples of some hands i achieved since i got here..

In cantonese style mahjong...

"dai sam yuin" or "3 great scholars" or "3 dragons"

Pure suit ping wu..
Apparently with the cantonese rules there are extra points for small small stuff that i didn't know about in normal 4 player mahjong

This hand was worth 17 fan..

Basically....
All bamboo (pure suit) - 7 fan
All chi - 1 fan
Two flowers that were mine - 2 fan
One whole flower set - 1 fan
Self draw(zi mo) - 1 fan
Single tile wait (dan diu) - 1 fan
一条龙(1-9 of same suit) - 4 fan

Total ownage.. till today i'm known as the guy who did the 17 fan ping wu LOL

As if that wasn't enough, i thought the people here the 3 player malaysian version of mahjong.. with the jokers and just the dot suit.... and i got this hand lol..

Total pwnage dai sei hei =)) "4 great happiness" lol..

To give an example on how awesome my luck can be.. here's an example of a starting that i had.. lol..

F.Y.I, I won maximum =)

So basically... yeah.. everybody's learning mahjong from me.. JUST today i thought one american and one thai dude.. well.. thai but born in america.. lol.. AND IT'S SPREADING BABEH!!!

On the left - David, American
Center - Jin, Korean
Right - Chris, Italian

And these are just 3 of them.... ahahaha....

(btw i know i had a shtty hand for this pic don't give any smart comments rawr)

Best part about mahjong.. i'm spending my entire thanksgiving holiday with a new good friend of mine, Brian, WHOSE WHOLE FAMILY PLAYS MAHJONG HAHAHAHAHAHA... this is gonna be an awesome thanksgiving break =DDDD

MAHJONG!!!!! lifeless out~!!!

DOGGIES!!!!!!

OMGOMGOMGOMG today i was just walking around aimlessly.. then i saw this dog fair thingi.. to raise funds for some animal shelter... it was in an open area.. and people had to pay like 5 bucks to pet the dogs and hug and cuddle and stuff.. and 10 bucks to take a pic with it.. So i was like just looking around... i noticed that nobody really checked... SO i just walked in and started playing with the dogs.. (talk about typical malaysian) HAHAHA...

THE DOGS WERE AWESOME MAN... here are the pics =DDDDD

SO CUTE RITE!!! .. I HAD to take pics with it.. NEVER see this in malaysia man... =DDDD

Awesome pic =DDD

There were other doggies there too~~~

There were poodles... (honestly, I thought all poodles were white and ugly balls of hair)..

AND... some... spotted.... dog.... that looks like a bear..... errrr..... yeah.....

So cute riteeee~~~

So anyway.. yeah.. so cute rite the doggiesssss =(((((((((

Ok on another note... i ate my 1st ever steam fish here in some chinese restaurant...

I swear.... it tasted like.... OMFG... i duno wat it tastes like also... they didn't clean the fish properly.. the scales were like half still on the fish.. it has the SUPER fishy taste.. i couldn't even tear the head apart and clean it like how i used to because it stunk so bad T_T.. it's like.. a mix of.. ok let's not go there... GAH...

AND THIS THING!!! OMG I TELL YOU... apparently.. "bubble tea".. so ok... i believe.. there isn't any milk at all in this.. this is HAAGEN DAAZ strawberry ice cream blended with water and add pearls... i think i'll be rich opening a franchise of the bubble tea store back in sunway mentari here.. =DD lol...

Ahhh.... i miss AUTHENTIC chinese food... i'm sick of "sweet and sour chicken" being chicken nuggest fried in sweet and sour sauce... i'm sick of "char siew pao" being some PATHETIC excuse for a pau.. i'm sick of.. pathetic attempts at asian food... please.. just go to asia and learn something THEN come back and cook.. i had "shrimp chow mein" for dinner just now and it was the worst noodle i've put in my mouth in my life.. it was CHEWY, like.. hard and slightly crunchy.. too bad i didn't have my cam with me that time.. GAH...

OK... stop complaining... bad for feng shui.... tomorrow is friday the 13th... dowan to take any risks...

Orite.. 1st of all.. let me bloody clarify.. i dun wanna explain this over and over and over.. i'm supposed to be gambit.. from xmen.. but as i was walking out of the story i saw glow in the dark paint... being the obsessed-with-glow-in-the-dark guy that i am.. i had an impulse to get it, and i did..

So basically.. i'm either phantom of the opera who found a new interest in cards... or (the one which i prefer) gambit that got bitten by a zombie and became HALF zombified. (since it's halloween anyway)...

So yeah.. zombie gambit =)

SOO.. that's how my halloween went.. I think i like hanging with the malaysian ppl.. no drinking.. staying healthy.. =DD I went back to my dorm.. and i was just chilling outside in the lobby(the main area).. within 1-2 hours.. u should see the number of drunk ppl walking back in...

girls with SKIMPY-AS-HELL outfits were being helped by their friends to walk up the stairs, random ppl came up to me and talked to me that were COMPLETELY drunk and i bet they won't remember me at all.. all the funny things ppl do when they are drunk.. heh.. too bad my cam wasn't with me.

OH YEAH!! halloween is coming.. and there's gonna be a party!!!

(about 5 minutes actually)..

I will be dressing up.. and going to the party as.....

My fav marvel character of ALLLL TIME~~~~

Remy "The Rag'in Cajun" LeBeau...

OMG i can't wait for halloween... Till next time~~

Lifeless.. out~!!!

So woke up the next day.. felt kinda crappy from all the meat and alcohol.. seriously.. i felt like i was having a hangover, but i didn't feel anything before this.. not even tipsy.. =.= so anyway.. I packed my stuff while my cuz went to rent a car.. i was so headaching (yeah i know awesome word lol) that i forgot 2 things that i left there.. so i SUPPOSE it's either they'll mail it to me, or i'll have to go up to toronto to get it from them..

Speaking of which i SHOULD be going there for thanksgiving.. =D so ANYWAY... while they were driving around looking for a petrol station and getting to the place we're supposed to have our breakfast/lunch.. brunch.. whatever.. LOL.. i slept.. and when i woke up.. i felt perfectly normal and i was STARVING.. so much for weird random suddenly hangovers LOL.. so we reached the place.. guess what was for brunch....

DIM SUM BABEH!!!!!

Don't the autumn leaves look so beautiful.. =D

MY SNAKE!! sssssss~~~

(yin this is for u LOL)

Then we went into this shop... and I came across something and bought it INSTANTLY...

THIS is what i bought.. what is it? i'll show u guys later nyehehehe =D

Then we left chicago to go to Aurora.. (yes i know i've been there b4) to shop for more stuff that i apparently need =D haha...

This is the Sears tower.. tallest building in the US, after 9/11 LOL..

Then, on the way home.. we passed some wind turbines.. and yes, being the malaysian jakun that i am.. i took some pics of it cos i've never seen them b4 LOL..

Looks so cool k.... lol..

Then it was time for dinner.. by the time i got back to Champaign.. it was like dinner time.. so my aunt and cuz was like thinking what to eat.. and i realised that i haven't eaten KFC since i got here.. THUS...

they have BAKED BEANSSSSS... which isn't half bad actually... LOL.

They have "biscuits".. which are.. like scones.. =.=

You know, they have so many extra things here like baked beans.. GRILLED chicken.. but they dun have my FAVOURITE CHEESY MELTS!! T_T.. cheesy wedges also dun have.. heck.. i dun think they have ANYTHING cheese in KFC in US.. omg... depressing.. the Coleslaw also tasted weird.. ironically.. MALAYSIA one soooooooooooo much better.. sigh... T_T

Seriously lo.. the ONLY thing good about KFC in US.. is that they ONLY serve dark meat.. that's the drumstick, wing and thigh.. they don't serve breast meat 1.. which is awesome.. but still.. FURTHERMORE.. their ketchup is like.. one packet one packet 1.. and MALAYSIA has BOTTLES for u to spam.. so depressing.. it's like.. need to tear and squeeze... I TOT US PPL EAT MORE 1.. =.= GAH...

No kidding.. i honestly think that KFC in malaysia is WAYYYY better... =(

Drew + alot of fried chicken =...

So then after that they sent me back to my dorm.. oh but before that i took them for a tour around the area.. =).. then i got back to my dorm and unpacked everything.. ANDDDD took pics of alllll the stuff that i bought... remember that box i told u guys ibought earlier???

ALRIGHT guys... this is gonna be an AWESOME long post with AWESOME lots of pics and AWESOME lots of words and AWESOME lots of descriptions =D... ARE YOU READYYY KIDS??!?!?!?

*who lives in a pineapple und......* nvm.. LOL

SO!! i left for chicago early saturday morning.. reached there like 12.30 something.. den went to the hotel to wait for my Aunt and Cousin.. ok so TECHNICALLY they aren't my aunt and cousin.. or are they.. nvm i have a complicated large family.. but I consider them aunt and cousin anyway =D haha..

So As i stepped out of the hotel.. (Oh btw, we stayed at the 4 points by Sheraton Hotel, i totally forgot to take a pic of the hotel i was staying in cos i was too busy taking pics of everything else LOL...).. I saw these around me..

Then we went for lunch.. the place we went was called the Grand Lux Cafe.. sounds grand huh.. well yeah.. it looked grand too.. check it out...

This was the bar...

Grand huh..? And there were like FANTASTIC number of ppl queueing up to get a place..

What did i tell u? lol..

So then we got a place.. and ordered... and ATEEEEEEE....

My meal, some cheese thingi.. LOL..

THAT WAS AWESOME BTW...

Oh they had bread too...

My aunt had a bowl of clam chowder shop...

ALL 3 of us had a cup of FRESH strawberry lemonade.. TOO GOOD..

My aunt's dish, some crab cake thingi..

And my cousin had erm... cajun shrimp and something something.... something.

Close-up of my dish...

Cross-section of my dish LOL..

Then it was time for desert.. my cuz, being here b4, ordered this for us to share...

Looks like some brownie with icecream and and sliced strawberry rite?

WRONG!! that "brownie" was just an outer "casing" to MOLTEN chocolate on the inside.. AHHHH SO SINFUL OMGGGG.....

Then we finished and were about to leave.. and we passed by the cake sections.. and i was shocked..

SO FREAKING TALL ZOMG...

the "BEST" carrot cake.. LOL

I swear this is the FATTEST cake i've seen in my life.. hands down.

My aunt and cousin-who-speaks-like-9-languages-omg.

When we went out of the restaurant and started walking down the street.. we ran into THIS guy..

WHOM, i might add.. was AWESOME.. like no kidding.. he was GOOD... i'll upload a vid in the next post =).. THEN.. we walked and shopped and walked and walked.. and i was spamming pics like MAD.. LOL.. so just check out the pics.. i'll explain the pics when needed.. otherwise it's just buildings and scenery =)

Forever 21~..

Teh GAP~ =D

This is the inside of some mall~~

Aside from the concrete jungle, Chicago has some beautiful decorations too...

I like this pic.. =)

Me and my Aunt at the chicago river.. =)

The-Awesome-One at the chicago river.. LOLOL..

Statue of some guy.. MR chicago or something like that LOL.

Me being awesome with the statue of Washington and two other ppl LOL
THIS building.. is apparently made out of pure gold.. (the part that looks gold la duh =.=)
From afar~..

Renaissance Hotel..

Some theatre..

Contrast.. Old and New.. =)

More buildings.. lol.

a LOT more buildings LOL.

Then my aunt mentioned something about some famous popcorn.. that apparently NOBODY has heard of it.. until ONE day oprah mentioned it on her show.. and IMMEDIATELY after that, business went crazy.. i'm not kidding.. the line is MAD.. it's worse than the 1st day opening of J CO donuts in malaysia.. like 10x worse.. and it's EVERYDAY.. =.=

So while my aunt and cuz went to queue to buy, i stood by the side and took pics =)

Hey it was a long queue and i got bored k.. =(

The maverick size Popcorn can. =)

The AWESOME popcorn.. tastes SOOO GOOD....

The brand.. Garrett =)

Then we went to macy's.. some.. erm.. JUSCO kinda thing. lolol..

perfume section.. (aunt dragged us)

The map.. IT'S HUGE.. one floor was already BIG, and it had like 5-6 floors wth.

Some internal design thing i found cool..
(for the archi students)

It was SOOOO effing cold that the birds also suck their heads in.. LOL

I'm not kidding about the coldness.. it was like.. what.. 2-4 degree celcius.. and i believe it dropped to 0 soon after lol...

Here are more pics...

A picture of some carvings..

An AWESOME picture of some carvings.. LOL.

Painting-turned-sculpture..

Another statue..

Nice flowerbed... =D

Another nice pic of flowers =D

Some gothic church.. looks cool.. (knock urself out archi students)

Check out the chisin number of ppl T_T

The Water Tower.. apparently the only building that survived the great chicago fire.. for obvious reasons.. LOL..

This borders.. IS HUGE.. compared with the ones in msia.. =(

We went in.. and i saw these...

BEST BUY!! 19.99USD.. and i got it for free off the internet LOL..

I was so tempted to buy this book.. SO SO tempted lol..

BIG BOOK OF FML COMPILATIONS.. awesome lol.

Then.. we went back to the hotel for like 5 minutes to put all our shopping stuff.. and went out again for dinner.. it was a... erm... 5 minute walk down the street to this brazilian steakhouse called Fogo de Chao...

So technically it was a meat buffet.. with a salad bar.. for the ppl who are gonna gluttonize themselves (like us) to not feel so guilty.. so......

Those pics above were all of the salad bar...

And this is what i took from it.. like.. kinda one of everything lol..

THIS is some brazillian cheese bread.. it's GOOOOOOOD....

And then.. like what my cousin said.. BRING ON THE MEAT!!! oh but before that.. he was like "hey drew.. do u drink...?" and i was like.. wellllllllllllll......

Signature brazillian drink made from brazillian rum.. i forgot what it's called LOL..

These were the "accompaniment dishes".. or.. side dishes.. (which we didn't even finish.. LOL)

AND THEN... THE MEAT!!! ok so basically how this works is that.. u have a small card.. one side red one side green.. the green means KEEP IT COMING.. and the red means to stop.. if it is green.. waiters holding giant skewers of meat will come up and ask if u want it.. and the'll cut off a slice for u and put it onto ur place..

I'm not kidding about the giant skewers...

Oh did i mention the giant knives?

yeah.. giant knives..

ahh the meat...

I kinda took like one of everything...

Garlic beef.. one of the best... =D

The waiters are posers too.. LOL.. check out the lamb legs.. ahhhhh *drools*

Oh yeah.. in case u guys were wondering what was "everything" when i said one of everything.......

That's the "menu".. 10 diff types of meat.. ALL YOU CAN EAT BABY!!!

Oh yeah.. then we had a glass of red wine in between.. the best way to savor a MEAT dinner..

And then we had a cup of papaya cream.. to help digest the meat..

Apparently papaya has some enzymes to help digest meat..

so yeah.

THIS.. is GOOD STUFF..

It's like.. canadian ice wine.. according to my cousin, the grapes are plucked when it's at -8 degree centigrade,and made into wine.. the water freezes, but the sugar doesn't.. so it's concentrated sugar..

He wasn't kidding.. it was POTENT SWEET.. it's like drinking nectar.. so good =D

It wasn't a big glass.. but it was equally potent/filling..

THIS... was killer.. this is PREMIUM tequila..

And people don't drink this in a shot.. (like what i'm used to).. they slowly sip this.. like.. SLOWLY.. and i'm SOOOO not used to it omg..

(one shot better.. LOL).

ANYWAY, after that we walked back to the room, it was like CHISIN cold.. but well.. walk walk walk.. and saw this...

Biggest mcD in US apparently.. or was it the 1st McD in US.. one of it.. all i know is, IT'S EFFING HUGE LOL...

And this is my sofa-bed.. so cool.. felt so jakun cos never see b4.. LOL

Due to the awesome dinner.. i crashed on my bed and woke up with a slight hangover.. i duno how that happened.. headache and all.. MUST be cos TOOOO much meat.. and that tequila, and wine, and brazillian rum, and ice wine and...... BUT thing is, i didn't feel tipsy AT ALL.. like NO FEEL.. not kidding.. i looked and felt perfectly fine after dinner... but got after effects the next day...

Dun tell me i too pro until i dun need to get drunk, dun even need to get tipsy to get hangover omg.. T_T EITHER that or because i haven't drank in such a long while since i got here that my skillztatkillz gone missing somewhere d.. T_T.. nuuuuuuuu...

ANYWAY guys.. that's it for DAY 1 of my awesome chicago trip with my aunt and cousin.. STAY TUNED for DAY 2!!.. there are a LOT more awesome pics in day 2.. CHECK BACK SOON!!!

Lifeless.. loving my aunt and cousin for the awesome weekend.. OUT!!
