Hai, the economy is bad. Times are hard. To earn one ang-pow, I have to say a 4 syllabus-phrase sounding like 'Gong-Ti-Fat-Tai' and this being accompanied by clasping my hands into a fist. That's not enough. I have to shake my fist gently (because it's not kung-fu) and move them up and down while I say the phrase. And then, for some strange reason, this phrase has to be spoken with considerably loud volume and gusto. So I have to take a deep breath and almost shout it - Gong- Ti - Fat - Tai !!!! Preferably I say it with a cute smile but I forget most times because I have to focus on getting it out loud enough. Hai! Nowadays, it's hard to please those adults! Tough times, tough times.
