Not everyone have the same standard of living,

maybe to you $2 was nothing, but to other might different.

I ever came CNY before that I was really broke.

no enough money to pack $2 red packet for my relatives.

so i hide in the house with door close and handphone off.

When anyone never came across very hard times.

pls dun expect other have same good life like you.

Every family are different.

But if its was stingy and selfish to give $2 red packet.

than different story.

No offence to anyone, just the point of my view.

Even you drive a Mercs and you having hard time, who will believe frankly? Only say you see bei stingy lor. This is perception at works. If got people believe you, they say you no big head want to wear big helmet lor. Haiz.....This is life :music: Hear only the good things....

No, don't be sensitive. I don't know how you are able to interpret it as a personal attack, there is no issue here. I'm just trying to explain his viewpoint of $2 ang bao. Don't take everything personally, very tiring this way leh. Life's short and you only live once!
