Can't remember the 1st time I got my Ang Bao from CNY cause I must still just a baby (most likely 6 to 7 months old only). This year is the 1st time I have to give as an adult. Like in my 1st few entries, this is part of the marriage. So please be prepared.
Feels different, cause like I kind of can decide where to go (of course still must follow my parents and in-laws to our grandparents).
When I was young (and I think same goes to those who read this) I always look forward to receiving Ang Baos. Think I have been given the wrong idea abt CNY cause really apart from the Ang Bao thing, CNY really is a time for gathering relatives and friends for fellowship and catch with one another, especially those we fail to make the effort to meet up or try to "siam".
Think the 1st thing I must teach Amos about CNY is that it's not about the Ang Bao, but the fellowship with our relatives and friends that we meet during this wonderful season.
It's only the last few years than I start to understand that Ang Bao is not the focus during CNY, it's the people. How did we forget about this in the 1st place??? Money or relationship??? Not too late to change our mindset....
