Day One of CNY. Year of the Tiger. Start of 2010.
The usual house visits and needless to say, collected my usual hongbaos (red packets).
While I was unwrapping the hongbaos, I was just wondering... what else can I do with them after taking out the money? Nothing. Throw away of course. I do not have a hobby of collecting the packet designs, and I believe at least 99% of the population do not have that as well.
Perhaps years later, somebody is going to invent an e-hongbao system in collaboration with iphone, the 'Santa' to bring a card to every house visits, and children (like me) could eagerly be waiting for his arrival, clutching onto our iphones. All Santa needs to do is to tap his card on our iphone, and in goes the money! Whatsmore, this saves Santa the time spent stuffing red packets the night before his dreadful $$ bleeding day.
Santa is happy, kids are happy, so are the trees.
As for now, I am not complaining about the heaps of crushed hongbaos in my trashbin.
I only pity the trees.
