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 all 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.
00:52He 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?
01:00Your parents don't care.
01:01You look sharp and put together and that's what it does.
01:03Come on!
01:06Hi, Daddy!
01:08Hello!
01:09Hello!
01:10Sorry, Renly.
01:12The VIPs are alive.
01:14Hello, Stephen.
01:16Hello, Uncle. Hello, Aunty.
01:17Hello, dear.
01:18Hi, Uncle. Hi, Aunty.
01:19Thank you for hosting!
01:22Hello, Selva.
01:23Attending funeral, is it?
01:26Tricks, a nice shirt.
01:28Selva, meet Vincent, my brother-in-law.
01:30My Daddy.
01:32Hello.
01:33Pleasure to meet you.
01:34Pleasure meeting you, too.
01:38Okay. Hungry, waiting for all you young people.
01:42Come!
01:43Come, let's sit down.
01:46Sorry, babe. Just ignore my dad, okay?
01:49Okay.
01:50Tough luck, mate.
01:54I think I know what you meant.
01:56Shecks, yeah?
01:57Oh!
01:58Oh!
01:59Oh!
02:00Oh!
02:01Oh!
02:02Oh!
02:03Oh!
02:04Oh!
02:05Oh!
02:06Oh!
02:07Oh!
02:08Oh!
02:09Oh!
02:10Oh!
02:11Oh!
02:12Oh!
02:13Oh!
02:14No!
02:15Oh!
02:37Oh!
02:41Oh!
02:43Yes.
02:44Yes.
02:45Yes.
02:46Yes.
02:47Yes.
02:48Yes.
02:49Yes.
02:50Yes.
02:51Yes.
02:52Pa, did you know that Selva volunteers is a private tutor?
02:55Oh, is it?
02:56I help 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,
03:17my father called us Tiger and Leopard
03:20because we were like the Hoppa brothers.
03:22You know them?
03:23Yeah, the Tiger Balm guys?
03:25Yes!
03:26The Tiger Balm guys.
03:27Shailene's grandfather used to tell us,
03:29you two,
03:30Kin Ka Kin Chew.
03:31Fast Tense, Fast Speed.
03:33That'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 wanted to give back.
03:41Just like the brothers.
03:43Philanthropy.
03:44So important, right?
03:46Yeah.
03:47That's why I commend you.
03:48Good, huh, Patrick?
03:49Your son-in-law,
03:50at least he has that social consciousness.
03:52Eat first, then you can tell your stories later.
03:54No, no, Rock.
03:55I want to ask him.
03:56Tell me, Selva.
03:57Who do you think is the Tiger and who is the Leopard?
04:01Oh, I don't know enough about the brothers.
04:03Or us.
04:04Just first impression, lah.
04:07Um...
04:08I would say...
04:09You'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...
04:21Je nis si...
04:22Khoa.
04:23Khoa.
04:24Khoa.
04:25You've slept so much, Khoa.
04:26Your stomach is almost as big as your mouth already.
04:29Well, to be honest, you are more of a house cat than Leopard.
04:33Excuse me.
04:34I think he's more of a lion.
04:36Wah! Lion!
04:37So, only you can tame him, lah.
04:41Anyway, Selva.
04:42Why do you think your father-in-law is a Leopard?
04:45Oh, um...
04:47I don't know.
04:48I guess you're more flamboyant.
04:50So, process of elimination.
04:52Wah! Flamboyant!
04:53I mean it as a compliment.
04:55Back in my day, wasn't it?
04:56It is a nice way of saying you are a clown.
04:59Right now, Selva?
05:00No, no. I don't think you're a clown.
05:01Yeah, 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.
05:10Cruel!
05:11I have a cruel family!
05:13Aw, Daddy Kens, we love you.
05:15But 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 it in the back of the car, lah.
05:21I was thinking maybe it's one of those chalet in some Ulu place.
05:24Uncle, I'm going to 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.
05:38Oh, yeah, Uncle. Where's your wife?
05:42Oh, uh...
05:43I didn't...
05:45No, I'm sorry. I forgot.
05:47Well, 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.
06:04Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
06:05Ha ha ha ha ha.
06:06Yeah.
06:07Yeah.
06:08Thank you, Natasha.
06:32.
06:37.
06:41.
06:45.
06:47.
06:52.
06:54.
06:56.
06:58so
07:28Oh, Natalie, how's London? Superstar yet or not?
07:34No, not yet.
07:35She's now yoga teaching.
07:36Oh, yoga.
07:39So, no more singing?
07:40Still trying.
07:42Might 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.
07:52See your cousin, consistency and stability.
07:55Does it give you peace of mind?
07:56Yeah, but also the gig economy in London is huge
08:00and is growing in Singapore.
08:01Things are changing, Uncle.
08:03Yeah, no boss, no schedule.
08:06Suka-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.
08:12You're my daughter.
08:13I know you have no discipline.
08:14Okay, but I've grown up now and I have a business.
08:17That business is me.
08:19You don't have to cheapen it by calling it freelancing.
08:21I'm not cheap.
08:23You see, 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.
08:32Mine, don't want to come back.
08:34Sorry, Pa.
08:35I think after being in London for like eight years,
08:37I'm not coming back.
08:38If I stop giving you money, then you will.
08:40Pa!
08:40I won't.
08:41Yay!
08:42But when the European dream loses its shine,
08:45you will want to come back, trust me.
08:46I'll come back.
08:48For the food.
08:49Not for your papa.
08:52For Charlene.
08:52Oh, yeah.
08:54When I see you next, you'll be for your wedding.
08:56When's the big day?
09:00Oh, we haven't planned for one yet.
09:02How about a Bollywood wedding?
09:04Boleh curia, boleh kanggana.
09:07Oh, that's really good.
09:08Of course.
09:09You know, I used to do Bollywood dancing in school.
09:11You know, in my uni days,
09:13Bollywood wedding was very fun.
09:14I remember attending one by our client.
09:16Ah, which one?
09:18Gautam.
09:19His son.
09:20A very big wedding.
09:21Coming on an elephant, you know?
09:22So, Silver.
09:24How?
09:24Elephant for you?
09:25Coming like Shah Rukh Khan like that, huh?
09:27Yeah.
09:28Maybe.
09:29No dates yet?
09:30We have not discussed yet.
09:31It won't be so soon.
09:33BTO already, right?
09:34How's coming when?
09:352028.
09:36So, 2028, right?
09:38Must be married to get a house, right?
09:39Hey, Patrick.
09:40Is Edmund still with Shangri-la?
09:42He's a very good friend.
09:44Sure can get this.
09:44Actually, we don't need a big wedding.
09:48Why not?
09:49We have not discussed this yet.
09:50We prefer it smaller and more intimate.
09:53How can I get that?
09:54You're the first grandchild to get married.
09:56Must be a grand affair, you know?
09:57We want to save for the house first.
09:58Why is your father to pay? Excuse me.
10:00We want to pay for it ourselves.
10:02Silver, right?
10:02It's only right for the man to step up for the wedding.
10:04We both will pay for it, but it will be small.
10:07Let us discuss this first.
10:08We've been avoiding this conversation, I thought.
10:10These young people,
10:12You see, now they don't want anything fancy or not.
10:14Young people?
10:15Actually, I don't mind fancy, you know?
10:17But realistically, fancy a bit hard, right?
10:19When we have to pay for it ourselves
10:20and you want nothing to do with it?
10:21Shall we? Not now.
10:22Patrick, parenting with an iron fist.
10:25Yeah, Uncle Vincent.
10:26You know he doesn't even want this wedding to happen?
10:27I said we'll discuss this later.
10:29Silver, are you okay?
10:30Yeah, I'm so sorry.
10:32It's okay, don't be sorry.
10:33Tida, bring cloth.
10:34Yes, ma'am.
10:36Yeah.
10:37I can do it, it's okay.
10:37Silver, it's okay. She can do it.
10:42You okay or not, Silver?
10:43I'm fine.
10:45Do 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?
11:12I'm sorry.
11:34Sorry for what?
11:35For spilling.
11:36It's okay.
11:38I 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
11:53or thinking about it.
11:54My 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,
12:03he acts like he's his 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 kanchong.
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.
12:22So 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.
12:30Yeah, 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 push me away when I get too close.
12:37Okay, what are you now?
12:38A therapist?
12:39Nat 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, sorry.
12:59Can we not fight today?
13:02Not now.
13:04Fine.
13:10I didn't know we had 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.
13:18I think that's also what I want.
13:19Okay, shall we go now?
13:33Can I have a hug?
13:44I think that we've had a hug.
13:46So we are now trying to cut you from?
13:48I'm trying to get them started.
13:54I'm trying to get you from the house.
13:55Don't ask you, hold your me in a room.
13:58I'm trying to get them back on me.
13:58I think I was trying to do this.
13:59I'm trying to get the Freddie.
13:59I'm trying to get you together.
14:00I'm trying to get through the whole wedding меч.
14:02I'm trying to get you right away.
14:03I need to get the gold.
14:03If you were trying to get your heart out,
14:05I'll take the gold in the house and do it.
14:06I'm trying to get you up to the holidays.
14:09I came in the house.
14:10I got to make a great job.
14:12How's it going?
14:42Where am I now?
14:46Are those going to the shop?
14:52Is it going to the merch?
14:54Is it going to the shop?
15:04Is it gluten in this box?
15:06Anyway, your tickets are all ready right now.
15:08Yes. All good. Thank you.
15:18Sorry about that, everyone.
15:20Selva, it's fine. Accidents happen.
15:22Shirt looks good on you. Right, Uncle?
15:24Hmm, fits well.
15:26It fits well.
15:42Don't get tension.
15:44How often do we get to sit here as a family?
15:46And now we have a new member.
15:48A toast to Charlene's husband-to-be.
15:52Cheers!
15:54Cheers!
15:56I know your father-in-law seems a bit grumpy.
15:58It's time of the month. Just ignore him.
16:00Vincent...
16:02You genuinely seem like a nice guy who really loves my niece.
16:06And 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!
16:14The company!
16:19Vincent, I was just asking if it were possible to...
16:21Yeah, and I said yes.
16:22So, then what?
16:23Thank you, Uncle Vincent, for your kind offer.
16:26But...
16:27Selva is very happy to...
16:28I would be delighted to take your offer, Uncle Vincent.
16:30Good man.
16:31Why wouldn't you, right?
16:32What? Are you sure?
16:33Yes, I'm sure. Why wouldn't I be?
16:35This is an incredible opportunity, Uncle Vincent.
16:38An honour.
16:39You don't have to feel obligated.
16:40Charlene, I can make my own decisions.
16:41And this is an easy one.
16:44I'm ready.
16:45I've spoken to my principal.
16:46I'll be able to start in two weeks.
16:48If, of course, you'll have me.
16:50I'm pleased to hear that.
16:51We'll find a day to talk.
16:52Your mother-in-law mentioned client relations.
16:54But I'm really in need of an operations manager.
16:57Yes, I'll be willing to try anything.
16:58What? Anything?
17:00Charlene, you're a lucky woman.
17:02Baba, that's so inappropriate.
17:04Oh, sorry, sorry.
17:05Gen Z, so sensitive.
17:07We're millennials.
17:09Later, Silva, we'll set a date to meet.
17:11Alright?
17:12But right now,
17:13welcome to the Zheng Haitong Manufacturing Family.
17:16Yum Z!
17:17Yum Z!
17:18Yum Z!
17:21Silva.
17:24Welcome to the family.
17:28Alright!
17:33Uncle.
17:34Actually, could I have a beer instead?
17:37Tiger.
17:38Yeah.
17:39OK.
17:41Perfect.
17:43amount.
17:48Perfect.
17:49Aqua.
17:50Yeah, I mean...
17:51二十窗
17:54I can't even read it.
17:56But remember,
17:59I've seen you listen.
18:01Before we end ourieren soup,
18:02he says...
18:03whether you want a mid-inesis
18:05or not a thing.
18:36Oh, that was interesting.
18:49What happened?
18:52We didn't talk about this.
18:59Why do we need to talk about this? It's my life.
19:01I thought it was our life.
19:06Selva, would you like to stay back and have a drink with Uncle Vincent and me?
19:13Yes, I would love that.
19:15Thanks so much for thinking of me.
19:17Let me just check with Charlene first.
19:20Good answer.
19:23I'm going out with Nat.
19:24Again?
19:25Yeah, it's my life.
19:26Yeah, fair.
19:27I'm going to go have drinks with your dad and uncle.
19:29Glad to see your best friends now.
19:31Selva joining?
19:32No.
19:33Okay.
19:35Cars here.
19:36Okay.
19:37Have fun.
19:40Hey.
19:41What about you?
19:42What did the boss say?
19:43Wait.
19:44I'm sorry, I need to get this.
19:45Okay.
19:46There you go.
19:47Young people only.
19:48How do you go?
19:50Okay, that's our choice.
19:51Hello, Ma?
19:52Yes?
19:53Who's this?
19:54What?
19:55Who's this?
19:56What?
20:23What?
