00:00Maybe I should quit.
00:01The hours I put in, they're not justifying the pay that I'm getting.
00:05I'm just thinking about it pragmatically.
00:06I don't think you should.
00:08You love your kids.
00:09We have a family dinner tonight with my parents and Nat's dad.
00:12So Nat's on her way over to get ready, then we're all gonna go together.
00:15Hey!
00:17You better talk up Sel bah.
00:18Now that's tough.
00:20It's just that things feel good with Sel and my parents.
00:22But it feels like anything can screw it up.
00:24Your love is special.
00:25And I'm sure your parents will keep seeing just how special he is.
00:30Are you sure it's okay, I wore white?
00:40Yeah, it's chill.
00:41What's wrong with white?
00:42Colour suits you.
00:43The cut?
00:44Not so much.
00:45You know her, you look hot.
00:46I am hot.
00:47Bitch shit sitting on the equator, innit?
00:49Let's go!
00:51Maybe I should change.
00:52She says in it now.
00:54I should have worn the green shirt.
00:55No, you look fine, you look handsome.
00:57But isn't white inauspicious or something like funeral colours?
00:59My parents don't care.
01:01You look sharp and put together and that's what it does.
01:03Come on!
01:07Hi, Daddy!
01:08Hello!
01:09Hello!
01:10Sorry, we're late.
01:11Hi!
01:12We're late for the day.
01:13The VIP is alright.
01:14Hello, Stephen.
01:16Hello, Uncle.
01:17Hello, Aunty.
01:18Hello, dear.
01:19Hi, Uncle.
01:19Hi, Aunty.
01:20Thank you for hosting!
01:22Hello, Selva.
01:23A tiny funeral, is it?
01:25Ah-ha.
01:26Tricks, a nice shirt.
01:27Selva, meet Vincent, my brother-in-law.
01:29My Daddy!
01:31Hello.
01:32Pleasure to meet you.
01:33A pleasure meeting you, too.
01:35Okay, hungry, waiting for all you young people.
01:41Come!
01:42Come, let's sit down.
01:46Sorry, babe.
01:47Just ignore my dad, okay?
01:48Okay.
01:51Tough luck, mate.
01:54I think I know what you meant.
01:56Shecks, yeah?

02:43Oh!
02:44Oh!
02:45Oh!
02:46Oh!
02:47No.
02:48No.
02:49No.
02:50No.
02:51No.
02:52Pa, did you know that Selva volunteers as a private tutor?
02:55Oh, is it?
02:56I helped them while they do their homework.
02:58That's very good, huh?
02:59To want to give back.
03:00More important, to uplift those around you.
03:03Patrick and I, when we joined our Father's company,
03:05one of our main goals was to give back.
03:08To give to those who need it.
03:10Correct or not, Patrick?
03:12Yes.
03:14You know, Selva, back in the younger days,
03:16my father called us Tiger and Leopard.
03:19Because we were like the Hoppa brothers.
03:22You know them?
03:23Yeah, the Tiger Balm guys?
03:24Yes!
03:25The Tiger Balm guys.
03:27Shailene's grandfather used to tell us,
03:29you two,
03:30Kin Ka Kin Chew.
03:31Fast, tense, fast speed.
03:32That's just the literal meaning.
03:34But it means we move at the right time,
03:37at the right speed.
03:38For business, that is good.
03:39And also because we want to give back.
03:41Just like the brothers.
03:42Philanthropy.
03:44So important, right?
03:45Yeah.
03:46That's what I commend you.
03:48Good, huh, Patrick?
03:49Your son-in-law,
03:50at least he has that social consciousness.
03:52Eat first,
03:53then you can tell your stories later.
03:54I don't know, Rob.
03:55I want to ask him.
03:56Tell me, Selva.
03:57Who do you think is the Tiger?
03:59And who is the Leopard?
04:00Oh, I don't know enough about the brothers.
04:03Or us.
04:04Just first impression, lah.
04:06Um, I would say you're the Tiger and you're the Leopard.
04:11Ha!
04:12Told you.
04:13I'm more Tiger.
04:14It's one opinion from a first impression.
04:16And I'm saying that first impressions matter.
04:19But I got it wrong.
04:20I have more of the, um,
04:22Jeannie Si...
04:23Quah.
04:24Quah.
04:25Quah.
04:26You slurp so much quah,
04:27your stomach is almost as big as your mouth already.
04:29Well, to be honest,
04:30you are more of a house cat than Leopard.
04:33Excuse me.
04:34I think he's more of a lion.
04:35Quah!
04:36Lion!
04:37So only you can tame him, lah.
04:39Hi!
04:41Anyway, Selva.
04:42Why do you think your father-in-law is a leopard?
04:45Oh, um...
04:46I don't know.
04:47I guess you're more flamboyant.
04:50So, process of elimination.
04:52Wah, flamboyant.
04:53I mean it as a compliment.
04:54Back in my day, it wasn't.
04:56It is a nice way of saying you are a clown.
04:58Right now, Selva?
04:59No, no.
05:00I don't think you're a clown.
05:01Ah, good.
05:02Gang up on me.
05:03Why don't you?
05:04But I do know you did dress as one for Charlene's 13th birthday.
05:07Oh!
05:08Oh!
05:09Ah!
05:10Cruel!
05:11I have a cruel family!
05:13Aw, Daddy Kens.
05:14We love you.
05:15Hey, but seriously, how do you not know that we are going to the airport?
05:17I trusted my wife, right?
05:19So, I quite quite see in the back of the car, lah.
05:21I was thinking maybe it's one of those chalet in some Olu place.
05:24Uncle, gotta give it to you.
05:25You committed to it.
05:26Wait!
05:27You took the entire flight in clown costume?
05:30Yeah!
05:31We were already in late when we reached there.
05:33What can I do?
05:34You're so mean to Uncle Vincent.
05:35This is not our doing.
05:36Yeah, it was your wife's idea.
05:37Oh, yeah, Uncle.
05:38Where's your wife?
05:42Oh, I didn't...
05:45No, I'm sorry. I forgot.
05:47Mel, don't worry.
05:48Even I sometimes forget she's not around.
05:50Don't sweat it.
05:53So, Pa, did no one think you were like a terrorist?
05:56Thankfully, no.
05:57But everyone else, I'm sure they were irritated.
05:59At least, three babies cried.
06:01And one old woman almost had a heart attack.
06:06When was off.
06:07I was trying to go to the hotel?
06:08I was doing that.
06:09No, you guys didn't know.
06:10No.
06:11So, I was going to go to the hotel on the hotel.
06:13And one, one thing I was getting here for and she said,
06:15I had to see the hotel on the hotel.
06:16And one of them was the hotel.
06:17I had to eat for a hotel.
06:18I was going to let you go.
06:19I was going to open the hotel.
06:20I was going to vote for the hotel so I could be.
06:26I was going to know.
06:27I was going to get a hotel, I was going to come to the hotel.
07:30Natalie, how's London?
07:32Superstar yet or not?
07:34No, not yet.
07:35She's now yoga teaching.
07:37Oh, yoga.
07:39So, no more singing?
07:40Still trying.
07:41Might record an EP soon.
07:43Wow, an EP.
07:45But for now, yoga is your stable job, yeah?
07:48Yes, Uncle.
07:49At least better than this one, freelancing.
07:51See your cousin, consistency and stability.
07:54Does it give you peace of mind?
07:56Yeah, but also the gig economy in London is huge.
07:59And it's growing in Singapore.
08:01Things are changing, Uncle.
08:02Yeah.
08:03No boss, no schedule.
08:05Suka-suka wake up when you want, work when you want.
08:08No discipline.
08:09How do you know I have no discipline?
08:10You don't know my practices.
08:11You're my daughter.
08:12I know you have no discipline.
08:14Okay, but I've grown up now and I have a business.
08:17That business is me.
08:18You don't have to cheapen it by calling it freelancing.
08:21I'm not cheap.
08:22You see, there's always something wrong.
08:25I try to help, also the finger will come pointing back at me.
08:28It's okay, brother.
08:29At least your daughter is still here with you.
08:31Mine, don't want to come back.
08:33Sorry, Pa.
08:34I think after being in London for like eight years,
08:36I'm not coming back.
08:37If I stop giving you money, you will.
08:39Pa!
08:40I won't.
08:41Yay!
08:42When the European dream loses its shine,
08:44you will want to come back, trust me.
08:46I'll come back.
08:47For the food.
08:48Not for your papa.
08:49For Shaleen.
08:52Oh, yeah.
08:53When I see you next, you'll be for your wedding.
08:56When's the big day?
09:00We haven't planned for one yet.
09:02How about Bollywood wedding?
09:07That's really good.
09:08Of course.
09:09I used to do Bollywood dancing in school.
09:11In my uni days, Bollywood wedding was very fun.
09:14I remember attending one by our client.
09:16Which one?
09:17Gautam.
09:18His son.
09:19A very big wedding.
09:20Coming on an elephant, you know.
09:22So, Seva, how?
09:23Elephant for you?
09:24Coming like Shah Rukh Khan like that?
09:26Yeah.
09:27Maybe.
09:28No dates yet?
09:29We have not discussed yet.
09:31Won't be so soon.
09:32BTO already, right?
09:33How's coming when?
09:342028.
09:35So, 2028, right?
09:37Must be married to get the house, right?
09:39Hey, Patrick.
09:40Is Edmund still with Shangri-la?
09:42He's a very good friend.
09:43Sure can get this out.
09:44Actually, we don't need a big wedding.
09:47Why not?
09:48We have not discussed this yet, so...
09:50We prefer it smaller and more intimate.
09:52How can I like that?
09:53You're the first grandchild to get married.
09:55Must be a grand affair, you know?
09:56We want to save for the house first.
09:58Why is your father to pay? Excuse me.
09:59We want to pay for it ourselves.
10:01Oh, silver, right?
10:02It's only right for the man to step up for the wedding.
10:03We both will pay for it, but it will be small.
10:06Let us discuss this first.
10:08We've been avoiding this conversation, I thought.
10:10These young people, you see now,
10:12they don't want anything fancy or no...
10:14Young people?
10:15Actually, I don't mind fancy, you know?
10:16But realistically, fancy a bit hard, right?
10:18We have to pay for it ourselves,
10:19and we want nothing to do with it.
10:20Charlene, not now.
10:22Patrick, parenting with an iron fist.
10:24Yeah, Uncle Vincent.
10:25Do you know he doesn't even want this wedding to happen?
10:27I said, we'll discuss this later.
10:29Oh my god.
10:30Yeah, I'm so sorry.
10:31It's okay, don't be sorry.
10:33Tida, bring cloth.
10:34Yes, ma'am.
10:36I can do it, it's okay.
10:37It's okay.
10:38She can do it.
10:42Are you okay or not?
10:43I'm fine.
10:44Do you want to get a change of clothes, maybe?
10:46No, it's really okay.
10:47You're dripping.
10:48You don't want to smell like a pig, right?
10:51Charlene, go and take him up to my room and change.
10:54Go, go.
10:56Thank you, Uncle.
10:57It's okay.
11:00Take one of the folded shirts on the side, okay?
11:04No.
11:05I'm sorry.
11:07I'm sorry.
11:34Sorry for what?
11:35For spilling.
11:36It's okay.
11:37I know you're clumsy.
11:39Sorry about my dad.
11:41You didn't have to bring it up.
11:42Me?
11:43Yeah, like we haven't probably discussed anything with him, you know?
11:46Yeah, that's because he said it's too far away.
11:48We don't have to think about it now.
11:50He's probably just scared and wants to avoid talking about it or thinking about it.
11:53My dad engages you in one conversation for the first time
11:56and suddenly you're empathising with him.
11:58Everything was going fine, I thought.
11:59Then you got pissy over the wedding.
12:00Yeah, because he's so fake.
12:02Like in front of his brother, he acts like he's this good father.
12:04I can't stand it.
12:05He's still getting used to the idea of us getting married.
12:08Wait, wait, wait.
12:09He's had two years to get used to the idea.
12:11And hang on.
12:12Why are you suddenly on his side?
12:13Last year when I told you he needed more time,
12:14you were so confused.
12:15Then now I suddenly gave him more time.
12:17Can you be on my side for once?
12:18I am on your side.
12:19We just need him to be on our side.
12:21Yeah, but I'm marrying you so that automatically puts him on the other side.
12:24Then don't get married.
12:26What the hell, Sel?
12:27I'm so sick of this avoidance shit.
12:28Avoidance?
12:29Okay, that's new.
12:29Yeah, that's what you are.
12:31You're scared of getting married.
12:32You run away when things get hard.
12:34That's avoidance.
12:34It's because your dad left you.
12:35That's why you pushed me away when I get too close.
12:37Okay, what are you now?
12:38A therapist?
12:38Nat says you're a classic avoidance.
12:40Nat's an avoidance too.
12:41Oh my, Nat.
12:42Nat?
12:43Nat is the person you're getting advice from?
12:44The person who's not had a real job in her whole life?
12:47Don't devalue her work or what she has to...
12:49Her work?
12:54Yeah.
12:55Sorry.
12:59Can we not fight today?
13:01Not now.
13:05Fine.
13:06I didn't know we have to pay for the whole wedding ourselves.
13:13Yeah, that's why I said small ceremony.
13:15I thought that's what you wanted, not because we're broke.
13:17I think that's also what I want.
13:31Okay, should we go now?
13:34Can I have a hug?
13:36Okay.
14:36Where is I going? Where am I now? I thought it was going to the shop.
14:51It's kind of much. It's a good shop.
15:03Is there gluten in this box?
15:06Anyway, your tickets are all ready, right?
15:08Yes. All good. Thank you.
15:17Sorry about that, everyone.
15:19Selva, it's fine. Accidents happen.
15:21It sure looks good on you. Right, Uncle?
15:25It's well.
15:41Don't get tension.
15:44How often do we get to sit here as a family?
15:46And now we have a new member.
15:49A toast to Charlene's husband-to-be.
15:52Cheers.
15:53Cheers.
15:55I know your father-in-law seems a bit grumpy.
15:57It's time of the month. Just ignore him.
15:59Vincent.
16:01You genuinely seem like a nice guy who really loves my niece.
16:05And so I'm really looking forward to having you on the team.
16:08I have a good sense of people and I think you'll be a good fit.
16:11I'm sorry, Uncle. Fit where?
16:13The company!
16:18Vincent, I was just asking you if it were possible to...
16:20Yeah, and I said yes.
16:21So, then what?
16:23Thank you, Uncle Vincent, for your kind offer.
16:25But Selva is very happy...
16:26I would be delighted to take your offer, Uncle Vincent.
16:29Good man.
16:30Why wouldn't you, right?
16:31What? Are you sure?
16:32Yes, I'm sure. Why wouldn't I be?
16:34This is an incredible opportunity, Uncle Vincent. An honour.
16:37You don't have to feel obligated.
16:39Charlene, I can make my own decisions.
16:40And this is an easy one.
16:43I'm ready.
16:44I've spoken to my principal.
16:46I'll be able to start in two weeks.
16:47If, of course, you'll have me.
16:49I'm pleased to hear that.
16:50We'll find a day to talk.
16:51Your mother-in-law mentioned client relations.
16:54But I'm really in need of an operations manager.
16:56Yes, I'll be willing to try anything.
16:58What? Anything?
16:59Charlene, you're a lucky woman.
17:02That's so inappropriate.
17:03Oh, sorry, sorry. Gen Z. So sensitive.
17:06We're millennials.
17:08Later, Silver.
17:09We'll set a date to meet.
17:10Alright?
17:11But right now,
17:12Welcome to the Zheng Haithong Manufacturing Family.
17:16Yum Zhe!
17:17Yum Zhe!
17:20Salva.
17:23Welcome to the family.
17:27Alright!
17:32Uncle.
17:33Actually, could I have a beer instead?
17:35Thank you!
17:36Perfect.
17:38Laughing
17:39Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
18:09I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
18:39Oh, that was interesting.
18:49What happened?
18:52What happened?
18:54We didn't talk about this.
18:58Why do we need to talk about this? It's my life.
19:00I thought it was our life.
19:02Selva, would you like to stay back and have a drink with Uncle Vincent and me?
19:12Yes, I would love that.
19:14Thanks so much for thinking of me.
19:16Let me just check with Charlene first.
19:19Good answer.
19:22I'm going out with Ned.
19:23Again?
19:24Yeah, it's my life, what?
19:25Yeah, fair. I'm going to go have drinks with your dad and uncle.
19:28Glad to see your best friends now.
19:30Selva joining?
19:31No.
19:33Okay.
19:34Cass here.
19:35Okay.
19:36Have fun.
19:40Hey, I'm talking about you.
