As said previously, but in Mandarin:

Gong shi fa tsai, hong bow nah lie
Wan shr rue ei? <----never learned english phonetic translations......

Had an exam today, couldn't go home for dinner. :( First time I've missed it, ever.

I am married so I had to pass out "hung bao's" to my single relatives and friends...

And yes, it is better to receive than give...

How sad is it that I got 32 singles from my extended family. Anyone know if there is a min bill you put in the red envelopes? I should have had at least one 5 dollar bill in there. Did I get screwed??

I got only one from my parents...


But it's $300.


I told them since I am a paid grad student now, they shouldn't do it anymore. They just don't listen. I guess it's their way of psychologically hanging on to my childhood. (I am 24)



/edit before anyone accuse me of being spoiled, let me just say that I put myself though college and never got any regular allowence money when I was a kid.
