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.
01:51Tough luck, mate.
01:54I think I know what you meant.
01:56Shex, yeah?
01:58Oh!
01:59Oh!
02:00loving my love, babe.
02:03Love you.
02:05Take me to meet you.
02:09Love you.
02:09Love you.
02:10Oh!
02:11Please.
02:12No!
02:13Yes!
02:14Hey!
02:20You can come around with those some rampants' haters.
02:21You can come around and play some rampants later
02:25You can let me know and play your favorite song
02:30I'll let your friends tell me then be here at night
02:34We're about to dance and be here in this machine
02:51Pa, did you know that Selva volunteers as a private tutor?
02:55Oh, is it?
02:56I help them while they do their homework
02:58That's very good to 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 Hopper brothers
03:22You know them?
03:23Yeah, the Tiger Balm guys
03:25Yes!
03:26The Tiger Balm guys
03:28Shailene's grandfather used to tell us
03:30You two
03:31Fast, tense, fast, speed
03:33That's just the literal meaning
03:35But it means we move at the right time, at the right speed
03:38For business, that is good
03:40And also because we wanted to give back
03:42Just like the brothers
03:43Philanthropy
03:45So important, right?
03:46Yeah
03:47That's why I commend you
03:49Good, eh, Patrick?
03:50Your son-in-law, at least he has that social consciousness
03:53Eat first, then you can tell your stories later
03:55No, no, no
03:56I want to ask him
03:57Tell me, Selva
03:58Who do you think is the tiger?
04:00And who is the leopard?
04:02Oh, I don't know enough about the brothers
04:04Or us?
04:05Just first impression
04:09I would say
04:10You're the tiger
04:11And you're the leopard
04:12Ha!
04:13Told you
04:14I'm more tiger
04:15It's one opinion
04:16From a first impression
04:17And I'm saying that
04:18First impressions better
04:19But I got it wrong
04:20I've got it wrong
04:21I have more of the
04:22Jeannie si...
04:23Quah
04:24Quah
04:25Quah
04:26You've slept so much quah
04:27Your stomach is almost as big as your mouth already
04:30Well, to be honest
04:31You are more of a house cat than leopard
04:33Excuse me, I think he's more of a lion
04:36Quah
04:37Lion?
04:38So only you can tame him
04:39Hi
04:40Hi
04:41Anyway, Selva
04:43Why do you think your father-in-law is a leopard?
04:46Oh, um
04:47I don't know
04:48I guess you're more flamboyant
04:51So process of elimination
04:53Wow, flamboyant
04:54I mean it as a compliment
04:55Back in my day, it wasn't
04:56It is nice way of saying you are a clown
04:59Right not, Selva?
05:00No, no, I don't think you're a clown
05:02Yeah, good
05:03Gang up on me
05:04Why don't you?
05:05But I do know you did dress as one for Charlene's 13th birthday
05:08Oh!
05:10Cruel!
05:11I have a cruel family
05:13Aw, Teddykins, we love you
05:15Hey, but seriously, how do you not know that we are going to the airport?
05:18I trusted my wife, right?
05:19So I quite see it in the back of the car
05:21I was thinking maybe it's one of those chalet in some Olu place
05:24Uncle, gotta give it to you
05:26You committed to it
05:27Wait!
05:28You 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
05:37Yeah, it was your wife's idea
05:38Oh yeah, Uncle, where's your wife?
05:43Oh, I didn't...
05:46No, I'm sorry, I forgot
05:48Belle, don't worry
05:49Even I sometimes forget she's not around
05:51Don't sweat it
05:54So far, did no one think you were like a terrorist?
05:57Thankfully, no
05:58But everyone else, I'm sure they were irritated
06:00At least three babies cried
06:01And one old woman almost had a heart attack
06:03And one old woman almost had a heart attack
06:05And one of them had an accident
06:07And one of them has a heart attack
06:08I'm sure that's according to him
06:09Even though they put them out
06:10And they were like, why?
06:11They got pregnant
06:12And they're like, why?
06:13They do look like they're not
06:14They don't need to look like they're not
06:15Maybe they're going to look like they're not
06:16And I was scared
06:18They did look like they're turning
06:19So they were like, why?
06:20Well, they're like you were a gifted
06:21And I was like, you know, what?
06:23To be from the coach
06:24That's exactly what I see
06:25Well, they had an accident
06:26I don't know.
06:56Let's go.
07:26Natalie, how's London? Superstar yet or not?
07:34No, not yet.
07:35She's now yoga teaching.
07:37Oh, yoga.
07:39So, no more singing?
07:40Still trying.
07:42Might 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.
08:30At 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, you will.
08:40Pa!
08:41I 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.
08:50Hmm...
08:52For Charlene.
08:53Oh, yeah.
08:54When I see you next, you'll be for your wedding.
08:57When'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, you know.
09:12In my uni days, Bollywood wedding was very fun.
09:15I remember attending one by our client.
09:17Which one?
09:18Gautam.
09:19His son.
09:20A very big wedding.
09:21Coming on an elephant, you know.
09:22So, Silver, how?
09:24Elephant for you?
09:25Coming like Shah Rukh Khan like that?
09:27Yeah, maybe.
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?
09:352018.
09:36So, 2028, right?
09:38Must be married to get a house, right?
09:40Hey, Patrick.
09:40Is Edmund still with Shangri-la?
09:42He's a very good friend.
09:44Sure, you can get this card.
09:45Actually, we don't need a big wedding.
09:47No.
09:48Why not?
09:49We have not discussed this yet, so...
09:50We prefer it smaller and more intimate.
09:53How can I like 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.
09:59Why 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, you see now,
10:12they 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?
10:21Shaleen, 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.
10:38Silver, it's okay. She can do it.
10:42Are you okay or not?
10:43I'm fine, I'm fine.
10:45Do you want to get a change of clothes, maybe?
10:46No, it's really okay.
10:47You're dripping.
10:49You don't want to smell like a pig, right?
10:51Shaleen, go and take him up to my room and change.
10:54Go, go.
10:56Thank you, Uncle.
10:57It's okay.
10:58Take one of the folded shirts on the side, okay?
11:28I'm sorry.
11:30Sorry for what?
11:31For spilling.
11:32It's okay.
11:34You know you're clumsy.
11:35Sorry about my dad.
11:36You didn't have to bring it up.
11:37Me?
11:38Yeah, like, we haven't probably discussed anything with him, you know?
11:40Yeah, that's because he said it's too far away.
11:42We don't have to think about it now.
11:44He's probably just scared and wants to avoid talking about it or thinking about it.
11:48My dad engages you in one conversation for the first time,
11:50and suddenly you're empathizing with him.
11:52Everything was so funny.
11:53I'm sorry.
11:54I'm sorry.
11:55I'm sorry.
11:56I'm sorry.
11:57You're empathizing with him.
11:58Everything was going fine, I thought.
11:59Then you got pissy over the wedding.
12:01Yeah, 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, why are you suddenly on his side?
12:13Last year when I told you he needed more time, you were so kancong.
12:15Then now it's suddenly, oh, 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, Sal? I'm so sick of this avoidance shit.
12:28Avoidance? Okay, that's new.
12:30Yeah, that's what you are.
12:31You're scared of getting married, you run away when things get hard.
12:34That's avoidance.
12:35It'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? A therapist?
12:39Nat says you're a classic avoidant.
12:40Nat's an avoidant too.
12:41Oh my Nat. Nat?
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?
12:50Yeah, I'm sorry.
12:56Can we not fight pretty?
13:00Not now.
13:02Fine.
13:04I didn't know we had to pay for the whole wedding ourselves.
13:09Yeah, that's why I said small ceremony.
13:10I thought that's what you wanted, not because we're broke.
13:13I think that's also what I want.
13:15I thought that's what you wanted, not because we're broke.
13:18I think that's also what I want.
13:32Okay, should we go now?
13:34Can I have a hug?
13:45Can I have a hug?
14:10I don't know.
14:40Where is it going?
14:42Where am I now?
14:45I thought it's going to the shop.
14:51It's going to the merch.
14:53It's going to the shop.
15:03Is 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.
15:19Selva, it's fine. Accidents happen.
15:22Shirt looks good on you. Right, Uncle?
15:26It fits well.
15:38Don't get tension.
15:43How often do we get to sit here as a family?
15:46And now we have a new member.
15:49A toast.
15:50To Charlene's husband-to-be.
15:52Cheers.
15:53Cheers.
15:54Cheers.
15:55Cheers.
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.
16:09I have a good sense of people and I think you'll be a good fit.
16:11I'm sorry, Uncle.
16:12Fit where?
16:13The company!
16:18Vincent, I was just asking if it were possible to...
16:20Yeah, and I said yes.
16:22So, then what?
16:23Thank you, Uncle Vincent, for your kind offer.
16:25But...
16:26Selva is very happy to...
16:27I 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.
16:49I'm pleased to hear that.
16:51We'll find a day to talk.
16:52Your mother-in-law mentioned clan 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.
17:02What?
17:03That's so inappropriate.
17:04Oh, sorry, sorry.
17:05Gen Z.
17:06So sensitive.
17:07We're millennials.
17:09Later, Selva.
17:10We'll set a date to meet.
17:11Alright?
17:12But right now,
17:13welcome to the Zeng Haitong manufacturing family.
17:16Yamsi!
17:17Yamsi!
17:21Selva.
17:23Welcome to the family.
17:28Alright!
17:32Oh, Uncle.
17:33Actually, could I have a beer instead?
17:37Tiger!
17:38Perfect.
17:39No, no.
17:40I'm sorry.
17:42I'm not going to go to church.
17:43You're not going to go to school.
17:45I'm sorry.
17:46I'm sorry.
17:47We're now coming to school.
17:48More and more.
17:49I'm sorry.
17:50All right.
17:5124 hours.
17:52I'm sorry.
17:53I'm sorry.
17:54You're out.
17:55No, no.
17:56I'm sorry.
17:57I'm sorry.
17:58But honey, it's not fine.
18:00What's up?
18:01There's no time.
18:02What's up?
18:33We 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.
19:02Selva, 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.
19:19Good 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.
19:28Glad to see your best friends now.
19:30So, Selva joining?
19:32Nope.
19:34Okay.
19:35Car's here.
19:36Okay.
19:37Have fun.
19:40Yeah.
19:41I'm sorry, I need to get this.
19:45Okay.
19:47There you go.
19:48Young people.
19:49How you go?
19:50Hello, Ma?
19:53Yes?
19:54Who's this?
19:55Who's this?
19:56What?
20:06What?
21:06We're right back.
