With the coming CNY, what is your personal AngBao experience you still find amusing or interesting till this day?
My experience so far:
- Uncle relative gave AngBao to every kid but no cash inside
- Relative always put cash plus 20 cents in the AngBao so we know it’s hers
- Relative gave $10 to my brother but gave $20 to me
What about you guys?
Netizens’ comments
- Was heartbroken when I got 2 dollars once. Not because of the amount but because it was 2x pristine bird series dollar bill. That relative ran out of money and had to dig into her collection.
Told my parents and they kept a lookout for the relative and helped out when they can. - I receive an angbao with $888 inside from my Aunt. Thought I was upgraded to her favorite nephew and was ready to be accepted as her godson.
Then my Aunt frantically called my mother to tell her that she gave the wrong angbao and that was meant for my grandfather.
Turns out, I was just a regular nephew and got $20 instead. - Had a relative open his wallet and give us cash because he couldn’t be bothered to put into ang bao. Hardcore.
- When i was a kid there was once my aunt gave me $5 while my sister had like $50. This aunt usually gives $50 ever year so it was pretty weird. I told my mum. Not sure how she approached my aunt, turned out my aunt gave me a wrong red packet. After that year, the red packets she gave had our names written on it.
- When my 2 chocolate coins inside the angbao from primary scool melted and there was only sadness
- Went to mum’s best friends house, she’s married to a stock broker and he’d only just got back from a wild night out w 2 friends and they tagged along to get breakfast. Everyone was drunk af and bagged 3 $200 ang pow, one from each of them
