Its just about 1 am here. Should I bang on mom and dad's door screaming happy new year, followed with gong noises? they might revoke my hung bao privledges (sp?)

ok, i lied about the gong, but dare i piss them off?

Hung what!? Dude... if they're not up partying with you, don't bother them and wake them up. You can be happy and celebrate quietly and respectfully.

It;s already 3.40pm on the "1st" for me :)
Let me count my rewards so far... hehe.
100 each from my parents.
40 from paternal grandma
24 each from maternal grandparents...
20 from an aunt
24 from another aunt
10 from some distant relative that happened to be there.

hmm... that's $342 from one day.
There's still tomorrow....

OH well... it doesnt come at no cost... Had to tolerate all my relatives bugging me as to why I don't have a gf yet even though i'm 24 this year (anyone else get this?? :p )

<< ok, tell this cracker what hung bao is >>



Its a red envelope with money inside that is gifted from someone older for the new year.

it literally translates into red envelope/wrapper
