Yesterday was my birthday. I am now 14 years old.

The boring story...the most exciting thing that happened was that I got a can of blueberries and won 40NT in Mahjong . I am 14 years old and I'm already gambling. The world is obviously going to ruin. I was at my grandma's house for Chinese New Year with Jerry, Louis and Louis' baby brother(who is now approximately 1 year old). It was raining so we were inside watching TV and playing computer. My grandma wanted Louis, Jerry, and I to stop watchig TV and playing computer so she made us come downstairs to play Mahjong with her. I love Mahjong, mainly because we hardly ever play it except during New Year. The boys didn't really concentrate until Gran said that we would be playing with real money, 10NT for each point.  She knew we had money because we had just gotten our red envelopes the day before. We ran upstairs for our money and changed our hundred bills into coins with Gran. Louis, who has no idea how to play Mahjong, was helped by his dad. We played a lot of rounds and eventually, Louis ended up with 110NT more than he started and me with 40NT. Gran and Jerry had both lost money. Jerry was pretty pissed about losing the money he had won the day before in Mahjong, so he quit and went upstairs to watch TV. Gran quit so she could go cook dinner, so we gave up playing and went upstairs to watch TV and play computer. After dinner, my mom and dad were going to go buy my cake, but my dad said he was too full to eat a cake, so, in the end, I didn't get a cake. The only present I got was a small can of dried blueberries from Louis' mom. They were delicious.
