Chinese New Year this year has been great so far. The one thing my friend pointed out about our new year is that you can be at home and still get ang paos when guests visit. It's very much different from Raya, where you need to visit houses to get any. I don't really know why we do it differently but I guess that's just the way our culture is.
The saddest part is when we take advantage of ang paos and get it just for the sake of money. It has sadly become a burden to give and an expectation to receive, and this is where we lose the true meaning of the celebration.
But in the spirit of CNY, do appreciate the gifts you are given and not take it for granted. Happy Chinese New Year!
