Thought Experiment

I was in the car back home on CNY day 1 when I thought of this question to myself;

How much Angbao/Money is enough to buy my presence even though I am unneeded/unwanted/uncomfortable there?

My answer: $50 dollars, which I have more than that.

I did buy my "freedom" out before in one of those birthday parties, and I paid $40 dollars for the present. Inclusive of the money I spent on the outing which I used as an excuse for not going, that roughly about $50 dollars.

I just cringed.

Payback.

I don't know how many CNYs there will be from now onwards which I have real fun, and I doubt it will be much enough for me look forward to CNY. Even with the Hongbao money, the experience is just very boring and feeling very bored.
