revenge of the red packet

Continuing from last year, let's talk about red packet again.

Last year that auntie gave me S$2 right? This year her kids got S$2 each. Call it adjustment according to market force (and not revenge). But when you think of it, even in Chinese wedding they will record down how much you put inside the red packet and next time when it's your turn to marry, they will pay the same amount. Not very fair, cos it neglects time-value of money.

Then over dinner, I saw her husband digging into the dishes and searching for food. How lack of manners! And he snatched all the expensive food such as abalone and scallop, until the host girl couldn't stand it and picked some onto my bowl.

And then another auntie, this time round she disturbed another family for chores such as helping her log on to airline website to check ticket price everyday. This is so dumb ok! And every year her daughter didn't show face for Chinese New Year gathering, but still end up getting the red packet from other familes. What's this? Minimum must give well wishes lah! Why make it so easy to get money?

New wave of grumpiness for new year.
