Once a Shame, Now a Fame

I went to Kuala Lumpur to celebrate Chinese New Year with my relatives. This is known as "拜年" and this happens annually. I don't have any doubts on this, for it would dishonor my race and religion. As usual, I received many "红包". My relatives range from slums to riches. Most of my poor relatives will slot in $2 into the 红包. However my rich relatives, unless if stingy, may slot in $50 into it. This is, in fact, awesome. All we had to do is to wrap our left palm over our right fist, then say, "新年快乐！" or "恭喜发财！". While my gutless brothers spoke in a soft and sissy tone, I was the only one who dare shouted these greetings. I was the best among us. Not only that, I also received the most number of 红包. Cool!

Initially, I thought that shouting was barbaric and uncool. Now, maybe it's just me. I believe that anything can be achieved. Every desires are just one step away. It would only be whether the one who dreams it wants to reach out for it.

My battle against fear and pride... I have to believe in my victory.
