14:51I swear if you were Angmo, you would have gotten your break by now.
14:53Thank you. I've really been experimenting with my sound these days.
14:58Going for like a Dua Lipa meets Ariana Grande meets The Wiggles kind of vibe.
15:04It's a bit experimental, but Lake did my tarot reading in Amsterdam
15:10and she said that this year is gonna be my year.
15:14Wow, congrats. Wow.
15:16Okay, Mr. Judgey, how is inspiring the young minds of tomorrow's generation?
15:23Oh, it's pretty hard this year, you know, with the students.
15:25Their attention spans are all... Babe!
15:28We should get ready. Yeah, we should.
15:29Yeah, let's go. I brought you an actual gift.
15:32Pillow tuck lipstick!
15:34Yay!
15:36Yeah, I know you wanted to try it for so long, right?
15:38I think you were. Yeah, the colour looks so good on you.
15:40The Wiggles?
15:49The Wiggles?
15:50If I asked where I was yesterday, I was with you.
16:05You better talk up-self la.
16:07Now that's tough.
16:08Excuse you!
16:09Sit me down. I'm just joking.
16:11Sel, where are you? We gotta go.
16:29Hey Ned, should I sh-
16:30Woah, you look beautiful.
16:32Aw, thanks babe.
16:34You don't wear makeup too often.
16:35Yeah, I mean I used to. I don't know, I miss it. It's fun.
16:39You look like a smoke show.
16:41Ah, stop it.
16:42You always look like a smoke show.
16:44That's a lie.
16:45I've seen you when the lights come on at 5am, less smoke show, more want to smoke.
16:50Anyway Ned, should I shave?
16:52No, dolls. Your beard is perfection.
16:55Ha!
16:56Arab Spring's perfection.
17:00Do you know what the Arab Spring is?
17:02Yes, like fresh, brown, freshness, melanin rejuvenation.
17:08Okay, I'm gonna go shower then we can go.
17:10Yep.
17:11What have you been doing this whole time?
17:12Hooping!
17:13He's a toilet philosopher. He sits there?
17:15Yeah, I get my best ideas on the toilet.
17:17What ideas?
17:19You know, like things to improve classes and school.
17:22He fantasizes about being head of education and changing the system.
17:26Hot.
17:27Hot.
17:28I know, right?
17:29No, it's not, Shah.
17:30It's not a hot day.
17:34So, I heard he slept outside your parents' house.
17:38How did you know?
17:39My dad told me.
17:40What did he say?
17:41I don't think your dad was too impressed.
17:42Ayah, whatever.
17:43My dad will always be my dad.
17:45At least my mum likes him.
17:46Yeah, they talk about you guys like you're from different planets.
17:48Yeah, like are we not both just Singaporeans?
17:50Okay, well, you are an IJ girl.
17:52Who does it have to do with anything?
17:53You guys should move to London.
17:55Get away from family, all this stress and anxiety.
17:59Trust me, you feel free.
18:01But this is my home.
18:03Aunties won't stare at you judgmentally on the train.
18:05Okay, you might get a few crazies every now and then on the tube,
18:09but even they won't stare at you judgmentally.
18:11But it's my home.
18:12It's true Selva feels differently.
18:14Selva would never want to leave his mum.
18:16Or Plaza Pratap.
18:17Or Satay Bihun.
18:18Or Feng Sheng Kampong Chicken Rice.
18:20Okay, so it's mainly food that's keeping you here.
18:22There is Bomb Pratap in London, you know.
18:24I'm sure.
18:25But it's not just the food.
18:26It's the air.
18:27The smiles.
18:29The fringe.
18:30The judgment.
18:31It's also the communal shag-ness.
18:33The collective sien-ness.
18:34There's nothing quite like it.
18:36I just think you both would love London.
18:37And more than anything, you'll be away from family.
18:40What makes you think I want to be away from my family?
18:42They're coming around with Selva.
18:44Is that why you forgot about dinner tonight?
18:47I really forgot.
18:48We talked about it that day.
18:49I even said, see you on Sunday.
18:51Kate, it's just that right now, things feel good with Sel and my parents.
18:55But it feels like anything can screw it up.
18:57And I don't want him to screw up anything.
18:58Like, what if he uses chopsticks weirdly and then my dad disapproves of him again?
19:02Can't he just be happy for me?
19:04You know, every meeting feels like a test.
19:06Good luck, girl.
19:08You need it.
19:09Selva is irritating.
19:13But your love is special.
19:15And I'm sure your parents will keep seeing just how special he is.
19:19Who's fancy?
19:20I'm fancy.
19:21Who's fancy?
19:22Who's fancy?
19:23I'm fancy.
19:24Who's fancy?
19:25I'm fancy pants.
19:26Oh my god.
19:27I'm fancy pants.
19:28I am the king of chopstick.
19:31Okay.
19:32Dumplings.
19:33What's up?
19:34Peanuts.
19:35What's up?
19:36Oolong tea.
19:37Oh gosh.
19:38You are my sensei.
19:43You guys are bizarre.
19:47Lower.
19:48Lower.
19:49More respect.
19:50The most respect.
20:08I'm sincere.
20:09I'm sincere.
