Every year around this period before Chinese New Year, its always a very exciting period for me. The only differences this year boils down to 2 things:
- This year, I am giving Ang Pow(red packets) instead of receiving it.
- This year, I am on a training course till the eve of CNY with exams immediately after!
This means that this normally busy period is extremely busy for me as I am not left with much time for my own.
Being the 1st year that I will have to give out Ang Pow, I pay particular attention to Ang Pow packets this year. Every year around this time, banks and many retailers hand out free Ang Pow packets to their customers. I used to pass most of the Ang Pow packets to my friends and relatives as I don't really use much of it. This year,I retained most of them.
There is this very supportive UOB bank staff that gave me 18(180 pieces) stacks of Ang Pow packets. Hong Leong Finance gave me 4 stacks. Cold Storage gave me 2 stacks. I have yet to find time to collect from other banks and retailers,but hope to do so if possible. With so many Ang Pow packets..maybe I should be financially savvy to just put a $2 note in each of the Ang Pow :P~
At this same period, I managed to acquire 3 bottles of Johnnie Walker Blue Label for consumption during the CNY season. My main concern is whether I have time to enjoy it because of the upcoming exam..
Time, has become a very important component of my life..I wish I can have more of it.
