This morning, I wished my friend, Kung Hei Fatt Choy! And she asked me where is Choy Sun?
Last evening, I was a at nearby kopishop and there was an elderly man dressed up in Choy Sun costume, including beard and boots and he was going around "giving" out small pink cards printed with auspicious sayings.
The people who were there dining and the stall holders, when given this card, were quick to return the "goodness" by giving a nominal amount of RM1. You know Chinese la, they are very afraid to "owe" people especially on the first day of Chinese New Year. That's why they would rather pay for the card for RM1 rather than get it for free.
When the Choy Sun takes the RM1 per card, it means that the card has been bought/sold and it's no longer free and the recipient no longer owes him anything.
Well, I think that this fake Choy Sun is very innovative and creative and business minded too. Luckily age is on his side. Who dares to wallop Choy Sun on Chinese New Year?
