Gung Hey Fat Choi and happy CNY to my fellow RS folks~

And here is a pathetically anglicized CNY banner greeting that I wrote many, many years ago LOL~ I still can't decide whether it is cringe-inducing, or just pathetically funny LOL~

You're supposed to read the right side first, from top to bottom. And then the left side (top to bottom), and then across the top.


Happy CNY~!

Bringing back this annual thread.

Was at Aberdeen and saw some stall sellinng a pot of these cum quat orange plant or whatever for $138 per ... ??!! WTF?

[Gumby]

I speak a weird slang ridden form of the Hakka dialect and "lai see" literally means shitting yourself :lol
In Cantonese, the words for "red pocket" and "shitting yourself" sound similar but use slightly different tones. But yes, it's hard to differentiate if you're not familiar with the tones!

[Traum]

In the "Old Days" -- ie. pretty much since I moved to Vancouver as a kid in elementary school -- I think mainstream society more or less just refers to Chinese New Year as Chinese New Year / CNY, and nobody really give it too much additional thoughts.

In recent years, I know there has been a gradual shift towards calling it "Lunar New Year" instead of "Chinese New Year" because of inclusivity. But especially with this year, it really seems to me that people are going hardcore with LNY, and have pretty much abandoned the use of CNY.

I don't have a preference for one over and another, and I know LNY is technically more "correct" since it isn't just a Chinese celebration. But out of habit, I keep using CNY as sort of an automatic response.

It's a PITA and I'm sure people have judged me bcos of my continual use / slip of tongue to keep using CNY instead of LNY.

Such a PITA... :pokerface:

Happy Lunar New Year!

Hopefully, the Year of the Dragon will be a good year.

In case anyone is wondering, the Dragon is the most popular and powerful sign in the Chinese zodiac.

The dragon was the symbol of the Chinese emperor and imperial rule back in the day. Royalty, strength, and good luck.

Yep, fried bean curd. You basically dip it in the soup for a few seconds and it soaks up the broth - love it.

The bowl of red stuff on the left is pork liver, in case anybody’s wondering.

I was thinking of parking at Lansdowne and taking Canada line there. Probably need to drop off the folks first. I know Aberdeen parking lot will be an absolute nightmare.

thats why you park next door and walk. just pay the parking at presidents plaza (its not expensive) and its easy peasy.

[spoon.ek9]

Hobz is a genius. I parked for two hours and it was like $7.50 or some shit. Skipped the parking lot chaos altogether.

We went kinda early, so it was less of a zoo. I'm sure had we gone around 8-9pm it would have been a sea of people, a sea of c-lais if you will. The folks were impressed with the level of CNY decoration since this shit doesn't really happen in Calgary lol. We enjoyed some good food and then called it a night.

I absolutely do not miss having to be waiting around for hours to be on stage to do the countdown bullshit. In the past, my entire day would have been spent on this crap. No more!

[Badhobz]

yah man, the answer to any chinese problems is to throw money at it. Most are so god damn cheap even the thought of spending money on parking when IT COULD BE FREE will result in a massive Chinese heartattack...

We went to Sun Sui Wah richmond last night and that entire lot was full. I took one loop around and parked on the street a mere 5 steps from the front door. Paid 11 bucks for 3hours of parking but whatever, beats circling like a retard. My brother in law and his wife was circling for a full 30 minutes before they found a spot and it was all the way on the other side, next to that korean bread place / bigway hotpot.

[spoon.ek9]

Yeah the entrance to Aberdeen parking lot from Cambie road was a shit show when we arrived lol. Didn't feel like spending 30-60 mins looking for a parking spot.

Dinner reservations for the first weekend of the Lunar New Year can be hard to get at many Chinese restaurants as expected.

I think we booked our dinner tonight about a week ago. It helps if you are familiar with the staff. They'll find a way to squeeze you in if you're a regular customer.

Me and my wife went early for dinner at a nearby restaurant we frequent. They cleared a table for us just in time, but otherwise, the restaurant was fully booked and packed by the time we left. Any walk-ins were SOL.

I did that once, drop them off at outlet and say i'll just find parking and i went to another mall and had KFC chicken.. epic.

for restaurants we go to a lot, we alwasy give the auntie and uncles waiters $5
You'll be surprised the free nuts, desserts, hot sauce they keep bringing. If we go for dim sum, yes it's stupid, we go to the reception and i put the red pocket to them on the table secretely and they ask me to wait inside separately and then we get a table / jump the line.

[spoon.ek9]

It wasn't even necessary lol. We immediately found a parking spot at Radisson and walked across the street within 3 minutes of arrival.

Yeah depends on the store; if you're ordering direct from a factory store rather than a small shop, they are probably going to be closed more often.

Every year is about net zero. This year is not that different. Only thing costly was the trip as I was paying for my folks and half of wife’s folks. Between the air tickets, tour for all and the cruise, I think it was about 8k per person.

I didn’t go. But the budget for mine went for a lens that I’ve ordered. Haha.

RS party at Hehe's house, and he will hand out laisee to all the unmarried attendees! :troll:

Last time I checked, this is RS with a bunch of sausages and not some hot chicks. Unless you guys are bringing hookers and blows, why would I bother?

[Badhobz]

I look pretty good in a wig. You’d want some

There is not any correct thread for that!!!!!

As a moderator, I have now issued you a 14-point ticket for this outrage.

oh i think that's my 1st ever red card lai see on here.

[bcrdukes]

Wow, GLOW. You should be honoured for receiving the infractions. That's super rare these days and definitely brings a level of RS street cred. Don't even ask how many infractions I received, even when I was a mod back in the day. :D

[donk.]

Anyone figure out if 40k cash fits into a red envelope?

[Badhobz]

Yah he was and still is full of shit.
Nobody gives that much cash. It’s not even possible to fit into an envelope

ChatGPT says it’ll be 2.15 inches tall. Good luck trying to squeeze that into a red envelope.

Gotta think big bro. Find "ten thousand red pocket" on Taobao and you can find them. It is a thing.

My family is quite traditional in this kind of things. We net zero almost every year. Probably a few hundred difference here and there. But big red envelope is a thing for some families.

We have used these before. USD fits up to about 20k.

Transfer can be done in a lot of ways. But the whole idea of red pocket is not the money, nor the amount, but rather a symbol of gesture and care toward your love ones. Neither my folks nor my in laws expect money from us as they don't need anything from us.

But we do it as a way to show that we care about them and the tradition. We go as far as always getting brand new bills (no exceptions down to 1 dollar bill) and try to meet in person one way or the other. The number grows pretty much yearly as a symbol that we are being better off.

Whatever amount I give to them, they would just give back to the kids (and hence back to us) with maybe a few hundred extra as my folks are usually lazy to go to bank and just grab whatever they have at home. Often we'd discuss between us to make sure no one end up putting more money than the other. Sure, we might prep a few smaller red pockets for kids from less close F&F, but they are usually $50-100 depending on how close the F&F is, but again, they would end up giving that amount back to our kids.

That's why it's almost always net zero. I can't even think of a year where between the amount I withdrew vs. what I deposited being more than a few $100 apart.

Mark Carney and his entourage went for dimsum at continental seafood… not my first pick and he gave out red envelopes! But it was chocolate inside or else PP will say he’s bribing for votes. Is it bad feng shui to give out chocolate instead of money?

[JDMDreams]

Just call your private banker for new bills and get them to deliver it

[StylinRed]

Happy new years guys

First two nights here I couldnt sleep it was just constant non stop fireworks everywhere all night and thunderous firecrackers all day, was tempted to sleep in my water boiler room and the explosions were duller in there

Now that Floata is gone I think Continental is the next biggest dim sum place? Maybe the Main Street Sun Sui Wah or Pink Pearl is similar?

I saw he hung out at my White Spot for the women's gold medal game too. For a banker Carney knows how to play retail politics really, really well - maybe it's heavily stage managed (doesn't seem like it) but imagine PP catching a game at Boston Pizza and not being a total douche.

[Badhobz]

or Clowney is just a good guy and a good canadian... vs bitch ass millhouse PP.

Anyone go down to chinatown for that parade shit on sunday? seems wayy too ching chongy for my liking.
