Meet Dione Bailey
Mahjong, the Singapore way
Dione is an expat from California, now living in Singapore. She learned mahjong through the American Women’s Association (AWA) and local mahjong trainings taught by Singaporeans, and was hooked by the speed, the strategy, and the laughter around the table. Today she plays several times a week and happily admits she’s addicted.
Dione specializes in Singapore style and also dabbles in Western (International) and American mahjong, but her heart lies with Singapore style. Lessons in other styles are on the way, so you’ll be ready for any table.
Alongside Shiok! Singapore Mahjong, Dione is a luxury travel advisor with Fora Travel through her agency, Destinations by Bailey. Shiok! Singapore Mahjong partners with Destinations by Bailey to create mahjong getaways and retreats, and Dione brings the same attention to detail and hospitality to every lesson and gathering.
Why Shiok?
In Singapore, shiok (say “shee-AWK”) is what people say when something is deeply satisfying, like a perfect bowl of laksa. It reflects the experience Dione aims to create: a game that is engaging, social, and genuinely enjoyable.
Let's talk mahjong.
Dione is based in Singapore, so replies may arrive on Singapore time. Whether you're joining a video lesson or gathering your friends for a class, the goal is the same: to get you playing confidently, fast.
