Remember, we are going thru RECESSION!

my company hands out angpaos during CNY yearly and during last year's CNY lunch, they handed out angpaos worth SGD288.. and this year.. well, due to the financial crisis.. real estate industry slowdown.. credit crunch bla bla bla.. my colleagues and i were expecting to take an "angpao-cut", if there was any intended to be handed out to begin with.

So we went for our CNY lunch today at Noble House. This is an upgrade considering we went to Tung Lok's Teahouse at China Square last year (which has since been torn down, btw). So we all thought.. "Confirm got angpao-cut la.. otherwise where got so good.. bring us to Noble House.." and so we wallowed in self-pity for a while before we dug into the sumptuous lunch complete with Shark's Fins Soup etc.

and jus before lunch ended, the bosses came ard to distribute the angpaos.. so we went, "heng ar.. at least they nv save on angpao lo.. got angpao, small small also good la.."

and so when we all got our angpaos.. some of us peeped and counted the small wad of cash in the angpaos.. there was a whopping SGD388 in it!

sorry, what recession huh?
