A video emerged online showing a makcik celebrating her birthday with a little surprise.
She was surprised with a box of flowers and a string of money tied to a balloon attached to the flowers.
However she didn’t hold onto the balloon very well and it then flew away, along with about RM700 (SGD226) in dollar notes that was tied to it.
What’s funny is that as the balloon was rising up to the air, they could’ve caught on to it at any time but they just stood there watching it fly away seemingly in slow motion.
The makcik then continued to pull out a flower with some more dollar notes tied to it.
Well at least not all the money flew away, there was still some leftover for her.
The incident happened in Malaysia

Leng Choun Keong, 50-years-old, a Singaporean man who overstayed in China, apparently lost his passport.
He then paid a friend US$20,000 to help him get another passport to return home, because his family members were sick.
He then received a Ugandan passport which stated that he was a Ugandan that was born in Malaysia, under the name Leng Christopher.
He then travelled back to Singapore with the fake passport and produced it to an immigration officer.
Leng pleaded guilty on 16 September to one count of producing a misleading document to an ICA officer, along with 2 other charges under the enlistment act.
He was then sentenced to 4 months imprisonment and fined $9,000 for his troubles, of which if he cannot pay the fine he would need to spend another 36 days in jail.
Leng finished his NS on 13 December 1990 and was then issued 3 exit permits to work overseas from 1995 to 1998.
He then used his passport to go to China to work as a DJ, but he didn’t return to Singapore after his last exit permit expired and he didn’t apply for a new one.
He also lost his passport following its expiry in 2005 and he then subsequently lost the passports whilst he was overstaying in China.
In 2018, he decided to return home after his mother and brother fell sick, and so he went to get himself a passport.
He was then referred to CMPB for investigations.

The elderly woman pressed the emergency help button at home and two senior citizen healthcare workers arrived, the man threatened the workers and said that he will chop both of them if they leave.
While the two of them were struggling to escape from the defendant, the defendant immediately turned one of the victims over, kicked her against the wall and stepped on her abdomen, claiming that she had just killed the aunt and would kill her next.
The man then used the knife to slash the health worker resulting in a 4cm laceration, he continued stepping on the worker’s stomach and said “It is better for you to die.” The commotion attracted the attention of neighbours and the incident was reported to the Police.
When the Police arrived, the man took the knife and pointed it at the Police. The man was eventually arrested by the Police and a blood test revealed that the man had Codeine and Methamphetamine in his system.
A 38-year-old housewife reportedly assaulted her own daughters, aged 6 and 10, under the pretext of “disciplining” them.
She pleaded guilty to 7 counts of abusing her daughters, and 4 other similar charged will be considered during her sentencing set at a later date.
She slapped, kicked and dragged one of them by pulling her hair, resulting in the 10-year-old girl breaking her teeth.
The woman’s 37-year-old husband installed a CCTV in their home back in December 2018 so that he could keep an eye when the kids were left alone at home.
He then discovered on 18 June 2019 that his 10-year-old daugher’s front teeth were broken.
The girl told him that she was slapped and kicked by her mother, resulting in her mouth bleeding and her teeth breaking.
The man then brought his daughter to KK Hospital where she was given 2 days MC.
He didn’t confront his wife.
He then went home and checked the CCTV footage and discovered that his wife had attacked both of the daughters.
The woman was seen in the footage slapping, punching and kicking the kids; as well as dragging the 10-year-old girl into a bedroom by pulling her hair.
The elder daughter later revealed that the abuse escalated and got worse some time in 2018, and that it began when she was in K2.
She was hesitant to tell on her to her father because she was scared of being beaten again.
Police investigations commenced on 1 December 2019, with child protection services intervening.
However, after the husband had stepped out, the woman threw a marker at the 10-year-old girl’s forehead.
The husband then alerted the child protection officer, who said that he/she would return to visit the home again.
The woman then made the girl lie to the officer that they were playing which resulted in her being hit with the toy.
The girl was discovered with swelling and bleeding on her left forehead after being conveyed to KK Hospital.
And then on 8 March this year, the mother attacked the girl again, telling the investigating officer that she was aware that she was going to prison and wanted the girl to behave before she got locked up.
