Chinese New Year is finally over and I have counted the angpow money that I collected this year. I know, I should be ashamed of myself given the fact that I am too old to receive them but what to do, as long as I am single, I would still be eligible to do so. I tell my friends that if I have a good life, I would be the one giving out angpows already but what to do? Nobody wants me. LOL
I am pretty surprised by the total amount that i received this year. It's slightly more than RM50. Yes, "only" RM50 but it is still a lot by my standards. I know that some friends receive more than a thousand dollars but to me, RM50 in total is a lot of money already!
Perhaps it's because we are not brought up to go around visiting friends and relatives expecting to receive angpows only. That's why my collection is always only from my parents and very close relatives. This year, I received an extra angpow from an aunt and unexpectedly received one from a neighbour. I also received one from my sister now that she is married.
Anyway, I have a few single friends who are older than I am and they still do get angpows but only one or two from their parent(s). Sad, isn't it?
