Tradition - Giving Angpao


Hmmm, angpao... 
Maybe some of you don't really know what is angpao, but I am sure that Malaysian and chinese know what it is. 
Angpao is  red packet~ 
Yeah, the one you put money in it xD

Well, why do I say giving angpao is a tradition?

You see, every Chinese New Year, for those who get married, they will distribute lots of angpaos to their children, nephews, nieces, neighbours and any kids that come and wishes them 'Happy Chinese New Year' ! =D
That is something awesome to us, the younger ones hehehehe! 
Can get a lot of money and buy stuffs you love xD

Well, quite pity also to the elderly...
cause they need to withdraw a sum of money from bank in order to give us red packets hehehe, 
I've always helped my dad to put the money into the red packets... 
and my dad is always worried that the money will drop out -.- 
so we end up cellophane tape-ing and stapling the red packets... 

I guess the nephews and nieces will be like
 ''WANT TO GET MONEY FROM THIS UNCLE ALSO SO HARD LA!! ''

Some people that plan to get married, they will choose to get married after Chinese New Year event has ended LOL! 
Why le?
Cause... they don't need to give angpao twice a year, budget plan la...
You see, angpao is not only given during Chinese New Year, but any good events like marriage, birthday, and etc.
But of course, there is a saying,
Giving is better than receiving.

Giving angpao is an awesome tradition hehehehe
Cause you see arh!
In Malaysia, at first, only Chinese give out angpao.
But later on, due to the beauty of giving out angpaos, LOL! the Malays and Indians are doing it as well! =D
Chinese give red packet, 
Malays give green packet, and...
Indians? I don't know but I think it's greenish yellow? hahahaha~ 
Basically, I don't care about the colour of the packet, but the CONTENT IN IT!!

Okay, so lately, I mean yesterday ¬_¬ 
My classmate had invited the whole class included me to her dad's wedding. 
At first, I thought it was her wedding ,and I got really damn excited about it.
But it wasn't, it was her dad's. My ears' fault >_<
Hahahaha, yeah, so I have decided to go because almost everyone in my class are going -_-
And I've never go to a Malay wedding before *excited* ^_^
So, you know, when we're attending some events, it isn't good to go there with empty hands... something like manners la... ( P/S: My parents always teach me this! ) -.-
My parents, they don't really buy gifts, they just GIVE ANGPAO to solve this problem LOL!
And my dad was telling me to give angpao -.-

Of course, I rejected his suggestion LOL!
BECAUSE IT IS WEIRD!! YES!! DAMN WEIRD!!
My friend's daddy is older than me... and I'm giving angpao to her daddy -.-? 
Hahahahaha IKR! It's just weird.
How could I, give angpao, to my friend's daddy LOL!?
If my dad is giving angpao to her daddy, then it's okay. But if it is me, it's weird.

Thus, my mom rescued me from my daddy's weird tradition -.-
She said I could get my friend's daddy a gift like a set of glasses / with teapots~
And so, I did.
My mom is the real heroin, unlike my dad LOLOLOLOL!

Question of the day:-
How many times have I used 'angpao' in this post? LOL!

Btw, if you ever wanted to write an essay about red packet,
DON'T USE ANGPAO LOOOL!! Use red packets hahahaha~
Or else later you will get penalized ~

That is all for today, tata~ @_@
