The Digital Awakening Turns Nine
Saturday, January 28th, 2012This post makes it the 1544th entry in this blog. It also marks the ninth anniversary of the inception of The Digital Awakening. That is nine years of my life, thoughts and opinions put into words, almost. I now look forward to posting my 2,000th entry some time this year and celebrating my first decade of blogging next year. This is going to be an exciting year for me where blogging is concerned.

The Royal Bank Of Scotland Ang Pow 2012
Saturday, January 21st, 2012The sight of flowers in Spring gives a sense of renewal and hope. That is the theme for the Royal Bank of Scotland’s ang pow for the Year of the Water Dragon. Plum blossoms emblazoned in gold adorn the red packets. Made from thicker paper stock and measuring at 6.50″ x 3.25″, they are also sturdier and larger than regular ang pows. What I like best about these packets is the wide horizontal opening which makes it convenient to insert currency notes. This is certainly one of the better designed ang pows around for this year.

HSBC Bank Hong Bao 2012
Thursday, January 19th, 2012The theme for HSBC Bank’s hong bao this year is money tree flourishing with gold coins and blooming jade flowers. Chinese lucky knots make up the tree trunk culminating with the cords weaved into a chrysanthemum flower at the base. A propitious Chinese four-character idiom called chengyu wishes that the receiver’s home overflowing with gold and jade, in short, untold riches. The flap of gold flower motif adds an elegant finishing touch to the hong bao.
