I am qualified to give Ang Bao already!!!!

Posted by Mr.Keropok

Am I married? No... that's still quite a long way to go. But yet I can still be qualified to give Ang Bao because I have started work this year and two days ago it was my Dad's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!! :)

Ang Bao. I still rememeber when I was a kid (not too long ago), I look forward to getting Ang Bao during CNY as much as I look forward to receiving Christmas presents on Christmas Day! And sneakily, I would run to a hidden corner of the house and take a peek at the Ang Bao content. My Ang Bao-O-meter - $10 and above, I would be smiling brightly. Anything lesser, I would be having a grumpy face. :P

Yeah, those were the silly good old days. Two days ago, I had the joy of presenting my Dad an Ang Bao for his birthday. Gave him a pat on the shoulder, thanking and appreciating him for being such a great Dad.

My Dad reaction? He said... "You 'Siao' ah?"

We looked at each other and both of us just broke out in smiles. Dad received my Ang Bao with thanks. He wasn't concerned about the amount of money in it, but he appreciated the gesture of giving in appreciation.

We can never outgive our parents. What matters is we choose to bless and thanks them for all they have done for us! :)
