You then proceeded to jokingly ask your friend "eh bro why give this amount leh made me lose face", then your close friend replied "give more for what? the ang pow are going to your wife leh so why you want to make me waste $$$$???"

Ermmmm how would you feel??? Happy that you can have such a "practical" friend??? Or happy that your friend is so street smart and give your beloved wife lesser $$$???

Of course many facts or things may be different from what I have described above as its just 1 single example & doesn't covers all, but I think you catch my drift

Cheerios......SS08 ^_^

your case above noted...but then again will never happen to me...
