I heard that the reason you give Ang Pao when you're married is because you got them when you were young so it's your turn to bless the younger generation (or pay your dues depending on how you see it)
So.... if I've never gotten Ang Pao during Chinese New Year do I have to give them in the future? Haha
We're entering the Year of the Rat... after reading Garrett's blog it hits me that the we the '84 babies are turning the full 12-year cycle... Daniel Tay, Weihao, Peck Lian own up to your age...! =)
Seriously, it's kinda funny to turn 24... when you're 13, 18 seems ages away and mid-20s are like ancient dinosaurs... when you turn 18 you're glad not yet in your 20s... but the truth is each age and season has its beauty and its lessons learnt... so, this means I need to (and will) embrace 2008 with whatever it brings.
Ecclesiastes says there is a time for everything... a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace...
If I made my own saying I'd probably say a time to eat and a time to fast, a time to work and a time to sleep, a time to take the MRT and a time to cab... haha
Time to grow up.
