receding hairlines.expanding waistlines.the powerful hainanese.

Yes, day one this year is probably the best in the last, say five to eight years.
Not only economically in the form of red packets, but having had the presence of countless aunts and perhaps many rather, (still)wooden cousins is in fact surreal due to missing them out in the past years, plus the early departure from home really help set the day well.

Time, or space or diet hasn't been kind to some.

And I am quite sure some of the maids that the families brought along with them got more red packets than I did.

Little known fact: I'm related to Billy K. and has seen him every year. But I believe he never knew who I was. And yes his hairline changed through the years.
