Ang Pow Ang Pow, come see which one nicer?

January 22nd, 2009 | by jys |

For the past few years, you will see ppl giving out ang pow packets to friends or relatives because they got a lot. Bank or shopping complexes giving out stacks of ang pow packets when you go change new notes or go shopping. But for this year, it’s the other way round. A lot of people asked their friends/relatives got extra ang pow packets or not. When you go change new notes at the bank, they only give you a few packets (unlike last time a whole stack) and if you go shopping complexes, it’s even worst, they only give you 1 or 2 packets.

So after weeks of BEGGING bank and shopping complexes for ang pow packets, hehe, here’s what I’ve collected..

different shapes and sizes, different colors from different bank,

from Jusco

So far they are the most generous one.. I bought RM 100+ from them and they gave me 6 packets.. but..not so nice lar, their design. hehe.. there are 6 ang pows in a packet.

from One Utama.

One Utama very stingy lar, each customer only entitled to change once if you purchase RM 50 and above. If you are their one card member, you can get 2 packets, else you will only get one packet like me (I went shopping twice so I got two packets). There are only 5 ang pows in one packet. Design so so only lar..

I got this from my sister and I love the quality of the ang pow. It’s not the shiny type, and it’s thick. It will be hard to guess how much money inside, wuahahahahaha…not bad hor..

I got 2 packets from Cold Storage. Not sure why they want to make it white/badge color, Chinese New Year mar, a lot of people prefer RED!!

S: no lar.. you open up lar..

    I like the Martell and Cold Storage. By the way, is it your hobby to collect all kinds of ang pow design?

    I have 3 colleagues also ang pow collector. They really crazy to look for nice ang pow design. Until now, I started to hunt for nice ang pow for them.

    Nice to know you here. Maybe we have chance to exchange some ang pow collection? :D

    Jys:
    no lar, this is not my hobby. I just love to collect different different ang pows during cny so that i can easily differentiate which ang pow is to give to which relatives/friends…
