Just a nursery ryhme, I felt like putting something silly in there. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>And yeah, New Year is coming soon. You plan on getting a lot of red money bags? > <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">

Not really...I don't have much relatives. Even if i had some they'd pretend to not know me just because my family is poor.
Oh yeah, for those "red bags"... That's a strange name to me...We call it "Ang Pao" over here! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>------------------

Oh, I forgot, that "Ang Pao" is in Hokkien, while "Hong Bao" is in Mandarin! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">
