Charlene and Lake confront the distance in their friendship and question if it’s inevitable that friends grow apart as they go on their separate journeys.

Meanwhile, Charlene bonds with Selva’s mom through a playful photoshoot; a project Charlene initiated for Selva that reunites her with her creativity.

While Selva navigates his new high-level role at the family business, Charlene takes a brave step to pursue her passion that pivots from the couple’s plans, leaving Selva in the dark.

04:51So, for now, there's only one.
04:52But over the next few months, I'll do up more pages.
04:55I thought it would be nice for you to have this.

05:15I'm sorry for blindsiding you with the new job.
05:17That's okay.
05:18We just have to be on the same team from now on, okay?
05:20No matter what happens with my dad, my uncle, your mum,
05:24we are a unit.
05:25Can we not be a unit?
05:26Why?
05:27It just sounds weird, you know?
05:28Like, you say...
05:29Unit.

05:40Okay, okay.
05:41So, we can be on the same tandem bike.

05:51Marcel,

05:55Why, babe?
05:56It's my decision.
05:58Okay.
05:59Okay?
06:00Okay.
06:01Let's listen to some nightmare feel.
06:03Chill, this one's not that bad.
06:04Didn't you say it was about dead bodies and barrels?
06:06Yeah.
06:07Not that bad, what?
06:11Hey, hey!
06:12Oh my god!
06:13It's too close!
06:14It's too close!
06:15It's too close!
06:16Hey!
06:17Not the bowling pin!
06:18This one's on the kitchen bed.
06:19I don't want to use this.
06:21I don't want to see it with the knife again.
06:23I don't want to make chapati with this.
06:24Don't put it in the bed.
06:25Don't put it in the bed.
06:39So, my working hours are mostly flexible?
06:42Of course.
06:43You're coming on board as a high-level manager.
06:45Not some rank and file trooper.
06:46Right, trooper?
06:47Yes, Mr Chiu.
06:50Mr Balakrishnan?
06:51For senior managers, there's usually no policing of working hours.
06:55There are the official hours where everyone else will be in.
06:58But for you, it's mostly like...
07:00On time, on target!
07:02Carry on!
07:04Silver, you're no longer a teacher.
07:06So, no need to follow school rules.
07:08You just have to make sure the partners are happy.
07:10Because they're happy, I'm happy.
07:12I'm happy.
07:13I'm happy.
07:14You're happy.
07:15You're happy.
07:16You copy?
07:17I copy.
07:18Thanks so much, Mr Chiu.
07:19Hey!
07:20Call me Vincent.
07:21Cheng Haitong is a family-run business.
07:22And you are going to be family very soon.
07:24Huh?
07:25Yeah.
07:262028?
07:27Yep.
07:28Wedding ceremony?
07:29Shangri-la!
07:32Mr Balakrishnan, I also need you to sign here and then
07:35countersign on every page here.
07:39I figured this would have been done all online, you know?
07:41With e-signatures and whatnot.
07:43We are an old-fashioned company.
07:45I hope you understand that.
07:46But I know what my brother means when he says that
07:49young people nowadays, huh?
07:51Oh, no.
07:52No, no, no, no.
07:53I don't mean it like that at all.
07:54Mr Chiv...
07:55Uncle...
07:56Vincent.
07:57Vincent.
07:58In fact, I'm glad that we're doing this in person.
08:01You know?
08:02If we did this online, it would be impersonal.
08:05No cold.
08:06It's how the other companies would have done it.
08:15You know, Silva.
08:16I'm very glad that you're taking on this role.
08:19Oh.
08:20Reassuring to know that family-run business...
08:22is handled by family.
08:24You know?
08:25You can trust me, Vincent.
08:26I'll make sure that Tseng Haitong Manufacturing will dominate.
08:29Good!
08:30We will reclaim all of the market share.
08:33That's what I want to hear.
08:34I will make sure our share prices are higher than Teslas!
08:38Or even apples!
08:40Actually, Mr Balakrishnan, our company is not listed.
08:43Then I'll make sure this company gets listed!
08:45I love that!
08:48I will also need you to sign this.
08:53Official signatory for Tseng Haitong?
08:55This is...
08:56You are going to need that for your work.
08:57Confirm!
08:58You do know that this is a significant position in the firm, right?
09:02In fact, Barry here thought that he was going to be promoted.
09:04Can you believe that?
09:05Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
09:09Mr Balakrishnan, we will also need photocopies of your IC front-end bed.
09:14This...
09:15This is a big deal!
09:16Are you sure?
09:17We have quite a few subsidiaries.
09:19And I am thinking of grooming you for leadership.
09:21If not, what?
09:22Leave it to Nat?
09:24Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
09:25Yeah! Right!
09:26We are family!
09:28You are not going to embezzle my company's money or anything, right?
09:30No!
09:31Of course not!
09:32Ha-ha!
09:33What did you do to pamper my knees?
09:35I will close one eye.
09:37No, this one.
09:47I am so funny.
09:49You are very funny, Mr Chiu.
10:03Jay!
10:05Yeah.
10:23I'm leaving in two weeks.
10:25What?
10:26Why?
10:27I decided to start earlier, midterm.
10:30Why?
10:32Why cannot?
10:33Why did you change your plans?
10:34I didn't know what I was waiting for.
10:35Two weeks is damn fast, yeah?
10:37Everything is fast.
10:40I'm sorry I haven't made time for you.
10:43Just the move has been hectic and then there was work and stuff with Cell.
10:49What? Am I not allowed to talk about Cell?
10:51No. Of course you can.
10:54I've been busy.
10:55We were supposed to be sisters for life.
10:57What? We are sisters for life.
10:58Sisters who don't hang out?
10:59We do hang out, though.
11:00Well, we can't when I'm in Berlin.
11:02You were supposed to go with me.
11:03When?
11:04In JCA.
11:05We said we'd go to Europe together and be starving artists and make feminist art with our period blood.
11:09I do not remember that.
11:11You wanted to go to Prague.
11:12I do remember my Prague place.
11:14But why don't you want to come back?
11:16I don't like it here. You know that.
11:18Do you still feel like your creativity is being stifled? Even now?
11:22When I was teenager, I wanted to design magazines, jewelry and whatnot.
11:26Not manage the social media page of a nasi padang store.
11:29Why can't you do that here?
11:30Opportunity is scarce.
11:31But what makes you think there will be opportunity there?
11:34For a foreigner, no less?
11:35There is. The scene there is thriving.
11:37But the grass is always greener on the other side.
11:39Well, at least on that grass, I'm not just a productive digit.
11:42Sure, you'll be.
11:43Like, even for your master's, you're just a minority quota.
11:47Sorry.
11:48No.
11:49It's fine. You're right.
11:50And I'm banking on that.
11:52I'm banking on all that colonial guilt that thrived there.
11:54Don't you think that a part of you is idealising life there?
11:57No.
11:58There will be less humidity and I have more space to breathe.
12:00But why won't you miss it here?
12:02Home, chicken rice, prata.
12:05What are you talking about?
12:06So, food.
12:07And us.
12:08And us.
12:09Me.
12:14I'll miss you.
12:15I'll miss you too.
12:17But we'll miss each other even if I was here, right?
12:20I mean, now we meet what?
12:21Once every few weeks?
12:22And then once you get married, it'll be once every few months.
12:25And then once you move in and have kids, it'll be once a year.
12:28Life goes on.
12:29Friends is a lie.
12:30Friends is a lie?
12:31Oh, the show.
12:32Like, people don't hang out all the time, forever.
12:35People move on.
12:36That's not true.
12:37It was supposed to be my kid's godmah.
12:39On one condition.
12:40I'm not naming my kid Doofenshmirtz.
12:42Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Balakrishnan.
12:45I think Phineas still better.
12:46Ew.
12:47Your child sounds like a nerd.
12:48You then nerd.
12:49You then nerd.
12:50You then nerd.
12:51You then nerd.
12:52Oi.
12:53Hey, hey, hey.
12:54Sorry.
12:55Hey, Ricky, they're ugly.
12:57Stop.
12:58Itch.
12:59Itch.
13:00Wah.
13:01Excuse me.
13:02Bless you, Xiao.
13:03Oh my god.
13:13Lake.
13:14Charlene.
13:15You know, Daddy, you said I always talk about Xiao.
13:18Is that true?
13:19Well, I was irritated, but you do talk about him often.
13:23But he's the love of your life, so...
13:25Wanting to talk about him isn't necessarily a bad thing.
13:28Hmm.
13:29But do you think I've changed?
13:31Haven't we all?
13:33I mean, his being with Xiao changed me.
13:36Well, you're more wifey now.
13:38Wifey?
13:39More practical?
13:40Less reckless?
13:41Those sound like good changes to me.
13:43Yeah.
13:44What?
13:45What?
13:46That yeah was sus.
13:47You used to be crazy.
13:49I'm still crazy.
13:50Eh.
13:51No, like, you used to collect people's body hair for your FYP,
13:54and scream at aunties who looked at me for the way I dressed.
13:57You were not just crazy, you know, you were unhinged.
13:59But I also was just young.
14:00I just feel like you and Selva have melded together over the years.
14:04Melded?
14:05Yeah, the two of you have melded together.
14:07Ew.
14:08Yeah, you're telling me.
14:09Okay, you've been together for like what, ten years?
14:12Six.
14:13Yeah, but I just feel like you've absorbed more of him than he has of you.
14:17Right.
14:18You know, I've always said Sel is good for you, right?
14:20Mm-hmm.
14:21It just feels like Sel is like a tree, okay?
14:25He keeps you grounded and he keeps you rooted.
14:27But I just feel like over time, his shade has kind of dulled your spark a little.
14:33You know?
14:34Right.
14:36I find you're crazy again.
14:39Hey!
14:40Is this crazy enough for you?
14:41I did not mean crazy.
14:42Okay, okay, okay, fine.
14:43She's crazy!
14:45Hey!
14:46You're making my agi again!
14:47No, I'm not agi.
14:48I was making it better.
14:49Okay, stop, stop.
14:51You always suck it.
14:52Okay, okay, okay, okay.
14:53One more.
14:54Who is the king of the pencil case?
15:07The pencil?
15:08The ruler.
15:09Really, thank you so much for laughing at these.
15:10It really does wonders for my self-confidence.
15:11Oh, you're hilarious!
15:12It's really not!
15:13It's funny!
15:14No.
15:15No.
15:16No.
15:17No.
15:18It's funny!
15:19No.
15:20No.
15:21No.
15:22Che, was I really rude yesterday?
15:23A little bit.
15:24I'm sorry.
15:25That's okay.
15:26So, how was your mock?
15:27Well, I failed.
15:28I got 48.
15:2948?
15:30Wow, good job, Eva!
15:31What?
15:32Really?
15:33That's really good.
15:3448?
15:35Really?
15:36Really not!
15:37You're funny!
15:38No.
15:39Um...
15:40Che, was I really rude yesterday?
15:41A little bit.
15:42I'm sorry.
15:43That's okay.
15:44So, how was your mock?
15:45Well, um...
15:46I failed.
15:47I got 48.
15:4848?
15:49Mm-hmm.
15:50Wow!
15:51Good job, Eva!
15:52What?
15:53Really?
15:54That's really good.
15:5548?
15:56Last sem, you were scoring, what?
15:58Closer to 20s?
15:59Mm-hmm.
16:00And now, you got 48.
16:01That's a substantial improvement.
16:03You know?
16:04You should be proud.
16:05But now, that means you got to keep working at it.
16:08Next, you can aim to pass.
16:09And after that, when you get to your O's,
16:11you can aim for around 60s.
16:13Thanks, Che.
16:14You are a damn good teacher.
16:16Language.
16:17You are a very good teacher.
16:21I didn't do anything.
16:22This was all you.
16:23No, as in like...
16:24You know, even though I failed, you still encouraged me.
16:27Like, my teacher scolded me.
16:29And I don't even know if my dad cares if I passed or not.
16:33But, you know, you care.
16:35And you make me feel...
16:37Worthy.
16:38You know?
16:39I see you try.
16:40You come here every day.
16:42That's enough for me.
16:43Yeah, I try, but I still fail.
16:45Well, for as long as you live, you have infinite chances.
16:50Wait, is it from one piece?
16:52Luffy?
16:53Spot on.
16:54Okay.
16:55I have some homework to finish up, so...
16:58No worries.
16:59Just shout if you need anything.
17:00Alright.
17:01But what if you hate it?
17:24I'm gonna treat it like it's work.
17:26You know, it's work.
17:27It's necessary so that I can focus on the other parts of life.
17:30No, no, no.
17:31Well, what if you hate it?
17:32Okay, well, I hate you.
17:35Okay, sorry, sorry.
17:36You'll like it.
17:37I'll tolerate it.
17:38Yeah.
17:39What do you have to do again?
17:40Acquiring assets and managing accounts.
17:43Hmm.
17:44Sounds math-y.
17:45So, it's you.
17:46You know, even though I'm a maths teacher...
