抌錢落鹹水海
cantoneseplease:
抌錢落鹹水海 (dum cheen lauk haam sui hoi), literally translated as ‘throwing/discarding one’s money into the salt water sea’. It seems to mean something along the lines of investing unwisely/carelessly. I’m assuming it relates to how things cannot grow in water with high salinity (take the Dead Sea, for instance).
Open up your Lai-see!!

Unless you already did so ._. Today is the fifteenth day of Chinese new year and the day where everyone officially opens up their red pockets! Up until today, your Lai-see should have been under your pillow!! :)
