Hung Pau Na Lai

My friend, Fatty, asked me if I am ashamed to collect angpows at my age. Cheh, cannot meh? As long as I am still single then I am still eligible for angpows, OK? It really has nothing to do with age but a "lei see" that is supposed to enhance the luck of the recipient and I guess singles sure NEED that luck.

A friend of mine who is already almost sixty years old and what people term as "diamond bachelor" still accepts angpows. And why not? He says that as long as people give him, he will accept.

The best thing is that he does not have to face these angpow givers because he lives overseas so these people who knew him a long time already would just leave these angpows with his mother. And not only that, he even received more angpows than me! Maybe it is because I don't go and "pai nien" lah.

Well, single people should have no qualms about receiving angpows. It is better than those people who are already married and then pretend they are still single just so that they can pocket the angpows. Yerrrr like that also can....
