Went to visit relatives and get ang baos (i.e. red packets), aka pai nian...
This year was quite interesting. 2 things happened.
1) First blood
On the way out of our house to our first destination, we bumped into our neighbour living 4 floors below. We greeted her happy CNY, and then she gave us ang baos. On the spot. No cue. LOL. Unexpected first blood.
2) Taxi?
Before we left our grandpa's house to our grandma's house, my sis made an argument that we should take the cab. When asked who will foot the crazy bill, she said "Use ang bao money la! Kor (i.e. brother, i.e. me) and me split lor. You see ar.. We pay like $8 each, you all (refering to parents) fill up the remaining few bucks. Then we go there earlier, we catch those people visiting ah ma (i.e. grandma) before they leave, then we get back more than $10++. Its a great investment!"
Rofl. Best argument she ever given in her entire life that I've heard.
