Time goes by ...

time goes by ... so slowly ...

such an apt depiction of the ang pow (hi)jacking process .. gosh, i never realise such noble practise could be such chores now, well, at least for a 29 year old bachelor living in a conservative, cant-wait-to-get-hook Hakka family.

Just into the second day of CNY and I think i'm going thru some sort of mental torture adi taking ang pow... what might seem like an easy ppl-giv-i-take looks more like an Iranian nuclear discussion la ... gosh!! i dowan anymore!!!

arrrhhhjjj....
