【明報專訊】Pat and Bill are eager to receive red packets from Pat's aunt. Sadly, they get no physical red packets, nor could they grab the digital red packets with the social messaging app...

“ Pat: I think my aunt will give each of us two big red packets like last year! ”

“ Bill: Thanks for inviting me again! ”

“ Eason: Kids, I sent out the "laisee" last night. Didn't you grab it? ”

“ Bill: The "laisee fight" has already expired... ”

“ Pat: Oh my god! I've missed it! ”

“ MoMo: We're the police. Your aunt was locked in the room... ”

“ Pat: Where're my red packets... ”

"Physical" relates to:

i) real objects that you can touch, see, or feel
