Happy winter solstice festival

Even when you have moved away

we have been neighbours for decades

knowing your daughter is always absent

I have decided to prepare some

for you three helpless men

go ahead

don't mind me

you should eat first

brother

because you're the eldest sibling

why is it about the eldest?

Considering your size

you should finish it all

don't be silly

let the skinny one have it

daughter

how can you be so rude?

Or else how to find a husband?

This reminds me

shiu sum was born in the
year of rat, right?

Yes

I learned from this TV host

that rat year girls will not able to
find a match this year

pay attention on property trends

what does property got to do with this?

Of couse it did

you need a house to spend

your old spinster years in it

your brother shiu beng isn't a realtor?

Why don't you help her find a nice unit?

Mr and mrs tsui

this is the best unit in my hands

you have everything you want

I want four bedrooms and two living spaces

where are those?

Wait a second

Twenty million

dirty tricks

let's go home

my mom is just gone

this whole month

I haven't close a sale yet

please have pity on me

brother

find burial places

why don't you help her find a nice plot

come on

with mrs choo wealth

they can buy the whole cemetary

that's more awesome

let's change the subject

shiu sum

Mrs choo

I have explained this

every time we have met

you've forgotten

mom

she said everytime she got promoted

she will add a new charm on it

Meaning she only have
herself to celebrate with?

Buying those useless junk

is just a waste of money

this son of mine

will bring me to France
for the Chinese new year holidays

poor me

I have to take a long hours flight

you know I have back problems

such misfortune

France?

There have many terrorists

shiu sum

I tought you work in a tour agency?

Why don't you bring them
on an overseas tour?

You could visit the bear park

there are many cute Teddy bears

hold on

there are no Teddy bears in bear park

in fact, they sell bear bladder

the most scariest thing is
you may bump into bears

with tubes sticking out of them

it's horrible

if you would like to see Teddy bear

why don't you

visit the Teddy bear theme park in Korea

although there is no real bears

but there are plenty of Teddy bear's dolls

thank you, good bye

happy winter solstice festival

ms Tina

top sales executive for
eight consecutive years

and best employee?

So what?

You always undercut your colleagues

I can explain

that tour group is not humanity

I stay by myself

if I lost my job

how could I afford my rent?

My children are best worker at their jobs

when I asked to have a dinner

or take a family portrait

they were too busy to make it back

actually

for this year

we are going to have a family trip

dad and us will journey

across mountains and oceans

and taste the most splendid meals

it will be an unforgettable memory

what about it?

What do you say to that?

Well, the truth is

to accompany everyone

I have taken my leave
despite the busy season

Ian

do you still remember this place?

If I could revisit this sea
of clouds one more time

my life would be complete

the greenery of Malaya beckons

under the swaying coconut trees...

Happiness is a result of our own efforts

remember that?

"Mom's funeral fee has been paid off"

"dad is suffering from depression”

"let's go a trip with him"

"we are going for sea of clouds
in genting highlands, Malaysia"

"Ll will bear"

"half of the travelling costs"

"eighty percent"

"all of it"

How's things going?

Push?

He said to push the Van

are you kidding me?

We're not even see genting highlands yet

now we have to push the Van?

I didn't expect the local guide

would give us such a bad vehicle

I have spoken to the driver

once the Van fixed

we will go straight to that agency

and lodge a complaint

come on

we have no choice

Harder

ok

It's moving

more harder

wait for me

close the door

go

Excuse me

I am looking for fung

please get me fung right now

what are you staring at?

Haven't you met a beauty before?

Fung

here you are

I'm sorry

it's hot in here

and the air-con is broken

here, cool down

take this

calm down yourself

it's the Eve of Chinese new year,
let's talk calmly

all because of you

who arranged a broken Van

and the driver doesn't know how to fix it

my family suffered

on the road for almost an hour

most importantly

after travelling so long
we have not arrive genting highlands

you

will upgrade our room

to business suite with night scene

and a free tour

as compensation

sitting in front of you

I may look like a handsome amateur

but the truth is

I am a lot more

with twenty years'
experience in this industry

plus, with a wide coverage

of my networking in Malaysia

the coverage of which is
greater than your 4g phone

so, any form of demands from customers

I would have no problem fulfilling

but, in this limited time

your room may not be available

fung

I'm also from this industry

don't you dare mess with me

or else

I will make an ugly scene

surely during this Chinese new year season

you wouln't want any problem

you are really a Hong Kong attraction

what do you mean

what Hong Kong attraction?

Hong Kong Princess syndrome

everbody

this agency detain tourists

actually

we host our customers

in six star hotels

sit down

I'll tolerate you

go slay tigers and dragons

but never irk a woman

what are you saying?

Speak cantonese

I said you look beautiful

alright

it's the chines new year

I'll give you what you want

that's better

Little genting?

Aren't we should go for sea of clouds
at genting highlands?

Sorry, the number you have
reached is not in service

that should be cold wind blowing on us

but now there is nothing at all

well, as a top rated tour guide

you don't really think this trip is only

as simple as visiting sea of clouds?

Normally, things with
"little" in its name are cute

for example

little kids

or little themepark

they are so cute

so

Little genting

it's like genting highlands but cuter

what about your dad?

He is a fiasco

you...

Where is my bracelet?

Where is my bracelet?

Did you guys see it?

It must have slipped off along the way

airport...

When the Van broke down...

Roadside...

The bracelet is important to me

what's wrong with you?

We couldn't reach genting highands

no one answers your phonecall

even your own bracelet has gone missing

how useless can you be?

I can't stand it

you guys please arrange for our check-in

can we rely on you?

Obviously we can't

no guarantee at all

"First day of Chinese new year"

cut it out

good morning

dear fellow tour members

this is our new itinerary

there are so many spots to visit today

stop the tour guide nonsense

I'm not tipping you

it's the first day of Chinese new year

can't you just let me sleep longer?

Our dad wish to visit the sea of clouds

and I have asked fung last night

apparently we couldn't find
such view in genting highlands

we must go somewhere higher

so we are heading to

Cameron highlands

it's a bit further from here

so we should depart immediately

you have five minutes for breakfast

hurry up. See you at the lobby

you guys really refuse to wake up?

Don't force me to show my tricky move

dad

please move aside

wake up now

Dad

stop staring at me

it has been twenty minutes

aren't you tired?

We can't trust the local drivers

let's drive by ourselves

my dear wife

we are about to meet each other

wake up now

otherwise, you will be in heaven
when you open your eyes

don't jinx us

"have no fear, shiu sum is here"

seat belt please

it's in safe hands

if you don't buckle up, we won't be

sorry, sorry

fasten your seat belt please

let's turn on the radio

and keep the mind fresh

top news of the hour

a family went back hometown
for Chinese new year yesterday

had their house ransacked by thieves

causing heavy losses

what is this

change the channel

early this morning

a car carrying five Australian tourists

on the way to genting highlands

was involved in a fatal accident

two among the tourists were perished

at Cameron highlands yesterday afternoon

a serious car accident had occurred

a bus carrying fifty-three passengers

was out of control and
crashed into the valley

as some of them did not have their
seatbelts on - fasten the seat belt

thirty-seven passengers were thrown out
of the bus and killed

dad

why do you look so pale

are you feeling alright?

These lousy radio news

why so grim on a holiday

stop by the road side

What are you doing?

Smell it

stop kidding around

try it, it's fragrant

"luxury home for sale"

Our itinerary is supposed to be

heading to Cameron highlands

can't you see

dad has told us before

we must appreciate the local culture

and culture starts with
the local properties

No one is answering

maybe they went visiting

it's huge

there's a gym room

and swimming pool

look at this place

it's so well planned

attached with big balconies

and located within a great environment

it's perfect

at this price

it's hard to get same thing in Hong Kong

the most importantly

with unbelievably low price

you can get luxury lifestyle

where can you get it?

Kuala Lumpur real estate can fulfill you

wait a moment

four million seling price?

With my wealth of experience

I could make a killing in the negotiation

who is making a kill?

Mimi

it seems we have guests

go take a nap

while we play with them

my house is way too big

for just me and my daughter

we couldn't get anyone to a game of mahjong

if any of you can win me in this game

the house is yours

are you serious?

In that case

you should start packing now

did you know

before I started walking

I already knew the game

before I can speak

I already knew how to win

dear daughter

it seems we have a serious challenger

why don't we be gentle and let him win some

ok?

Ok

Dad, they are being sacarstic

I can win by just using my sense of touch

So?

Dear uncle

what happened to your sense of touch?

Could I be having Alzheimer's?

This can't be

reveal

mouse

Is this some sort of joke?

They are all pictures

You can't win like that

what do you mean I cannot win?

game with a set of five

That's right

dad

- don't do anything rash
- We can withdraw money

I owe so many to my children

it's time for me to pay for it

dad...

Where did the money come from?

Here you go

come to think of it

mahjong is a cultural heritage of us

but we actually lost in the hands of

a Malaysian dato

so ironic

we've been travelling for hours

to a luxury bungalow

no problem at all

"we are waiting for you at ipoh"

ipoh?

Wait

if I decided not to go to Cameron highlands

could you drop me off at ipoh?

Of course

no problem at all

What's the problem?
Is it because shiu sum isn't here

you can't handling this?

How can it be?

As a property agent

I'm used to negotiating

don't you worry about it

I have a booking

Melissa

hello

today happens to be my dad's birthday

could there be any surprise offerings

let's say

free upgrade to presidential suite?

I'm sorry, we are fully booked

this Chinese new year season

I'm afraid we can't offer that

but its not only my dad's birthday

it's also my parents' dating anniversary

moreover...

Even if David Beckham is coming today

we'd still be unable to help

anyway, let me check your booking details?

Sir

do you have another card?

It's unable to process

are you serious?

Is it because of your slow network speed

so the machine is not working?

Even if David Beckham coming today

our network speed will be the same as usual

if you wish

we accept cash payment too

cash?

Who uses cash in these days?

Let me...

Call to check

oriental bank, how can I help you?

Yes

what sort of bank are you?

I only exceeded a little of my credit card

how could you...

Sir, you have three months
of outstanding debts

well...

Please make the payment now
or we will suspend your card

can I ask a favour

to raise the credit limit now?

Son

after looking around

I don't think I'm liking this place much

I knew there's a unique hotel in ipoh

let me take you there

you've offended an old man

what was that?

Nothing

they're out of rooms

my fair ladies

fate has brought us all here

right next to you

is the famed kellie's castle of ipoh

feel free to explore and take pictures

and gather back here in two hours

okay?

Okay

have fun

no it's not okay

two hours? Are you kidding me...

Why did you change my schedule?

Kellie's castle was not in my schedule

you are not helping at
all to find my brother

but spreading lies about
me with those posters

you jerk...

Please calm down

firstly

you called him baby

obviously I thought he's your boyfriend

also

if kellie's castle is not in your schedule

then consider it a bonus

why you have to be so mad?

Take this

have a cold drink

to cool yourself down

thanks

don't mention it

Can see you are cooling down now

cow dung

what had you done

don't move

it's disgusting

did you know stepping on cow dung at here

is considered good luck?

I've been trying to step
on one but fail everytime

I can help you with that

no, wait...

Let me ask you something

do you like spoilers

before watching movie?

What are you trying to say?

I mean

living life

is like watching a movie

if we knew all that's going to happen

then where's the joy?

Since we are here

might as well enjoy the view of the place

and a good looking guy

it's good looking

I mean the scenery

this place looks familiar

is it where "Anna and the king" was filmed?

That's right

many movies were shot here

Dad

this place gives me the creeps

come on

don't be such a coward

what could there be in broad daylight?

What about at night?

What about it?

You guys

renting a room?

Mouse

why are you scared?

Didn't you like Mickey
mouse when you are small?

It's a horrible place

you can stay here by yourself

where are you going?

Room service?

Ya

Ipoh bean sprout chicken?

Ya

Give me one

ya

I want beautiful chicken

tender chicken

tender chicken?

Ya

Ya

What kind of man can match with you?

She must be into

someone good looking and well build

also a hot social media star

I'm lifing the durian

One thousand and one

one thousand and two

It isn't enough to get a viral hit

Dude

police is coming

what?

Whose mother is coming?

Where in the world are you shiu sum?

- You said the room is booked?
- Have you found it?

Darn it
I couldn't find my passport

- you booked the room but you ain't here
- Hurry up

found it

let's check-out

just leave it

do you know I...

I'm at the hotel lobby

I'll wait for you

Mr shiu

we are the police

you are suspected to be
involved in animal abuse

please come with us to
assist in investigations

me?

Sir

here's the chicken you wanted

you look

what a smooth body

go

Enjoy sir, enjoy

mister

please be gentle

I ordered ipoh bean sprout chicken

not you

from Hong Kong?

One hundred twenty only

it's really cheap

since I'm already here

we can always look for
your chicken afterwards

what do you think?

Keep off me

don't pushing me away

Ian

I'm so sorry to you

Young lady

why are you in this business?

I don't have a choice

my husband took off and
left me with his debts

while I have just given birth to my son and

the coming Chinese new
year will cost me more

I ran out of options

I don't need you to work

but I'll pay you

there are still good people in this world

thank you

thank you

two more of them here

round them up

I'm not kidding

this place is haunted

according to myth

while this place was being built

the owner missed his daughter

and set sail to england

but halfway through the voyage

the owner passed away

his spirit had to come back

and stay in this castle

while awaiting his daughter's visit

that's a tragic story

it's not about tragedy

why don't you get it?

No one knows what tomorrow will bring

here's a chance to travel with your dad

could you please Cherish it
don't be so much complaint

alright?

Because of you

I'm stuck in a castle

and I don't even know where dad is

he had depression

and baby has gone missing too

I'm so worried

What?

You're coming with me

getting mad again

what is it this time?

Is it a crime grooming a dog?

What's the crime?

It's just fur

isn't every dog need grooming?

Son?

Dad

have you come to save me?

I'm in trouble myself

why don't you save me

shiu lap?

Brother?

Son?

Dad?

We're all screwed

will we die here?

Don't be ridiculous

we are here as tourists

how could a four person trip

ended up with three in prison?

What a joke

I told you guys

we shouldn't have taken this trip

I wish mom is still here

she would know what to do

mom, I miss you

thank you

what's all this?

Shiu sum

I was only away for a while, how could

one caught soliciting

one for public nudity

one for animal abuse

and all ended up here in prison

what's wrong with you guys?

Anyway

what's done is done

I shouldn't have

left you guys

now you are here for us

remember, we must never speak of this

never let anyone know about this

such a disgrace

believe me I won't tell

if anyone else knew

I would rather kill the person

"have no fear, shiu sum is here"

Ms. shiu sum

you are so ungrateful

sir

could you please

thank you

I'm helping you

now you plan to murder me?

Just shut up

it's all your fault

we can go now

let's go

just now

I cried my eyes out

oh shut up

I cried my eyes out and pleaded

pleaded for their release

I knelt and cried

I even paid your fines

I saved three of them

and not even a thank you from you

such a waste of menthol oil

"Cameron highlands"

"The third day of Chinese new year"

my fellow tour mates

look at the view

we have finally arrived
to Cameron highlands

our homestay lodging is a beautiful place

the owner is a Chinese

aren't you excited?

Did you guys know

there's an aborigine tribe here

called the lazy tribe

why do they have this label?

Because they're really lazy

they stay in ancient tropical highlands

but they don't plant anything

and never seek jobs

they only eat fruits and worms

if they were out of food

they would just hang around

and rather die of hunger

why aren't they extinct?

Well thanks to the government

they send them monthly rations

to support their livelihood

a life without having to work

so nice

in my next life

I hope to born into this tribe

better than having you guys

there's no peaceful retirement now

so what food did the government provide?

Hippopotamus...

Sorry

I couldn't stop the car

put on your safety belts

careful dad

in 500m ahead,

you will reach kampung jalan Lima

in 400m ahead,

you will reach kampung jalan Lima

in 300m ahead,

you will reach kampung jalan Lima

why can't it stop?

In 200m ahead,

you will reach kampung jalan Lima

in 100m ahead,

you will reach kampung jalan Lima

you have reached your destination

are you guys ok?

You really gave us a fright

- sister...
- Why there is so many people?

Are they the lazy tribe?

Over here too

what do we do?

Lock the doors

lock the windows

help

excuse me

speaking cantonese?

Open the window

open the door

you have damaged their property

come out at once

you're the homestay owner, orchid?

"The sun is coming out"

"there is a sun"

"the sun is coming out"

your car's spare parts

have to be brought from town

it will take a few days

if you don't mind

you can hop on my car

I'll send you guys

great

we don't mind

just get us away from the lazy tribe

don't be a fool

they're called the semai

the aborigines of this area

don't believe everything you read online

you two

help me move the rices

how else can you get a place to sit?

See

orchid

you must be loaded

[t's not about the load, it's the love

I live happier that way

now hurry

here I come - move the things

they can't do it

"the sun is coming out"

"there is a sun"

"the sun is coming out"

"there is a sun"

"grandpa is telling a long time story”

"the ear of rice is blown by the wind"

nice Chinese new year vibes here

indeed

glad you liked it

by the way

I'm having dinner with family relatives

many have returned from overseas

why don't you join us?

That sounds interesting

we could help out in the kitchen

yeah I can help

great

let's do the cooking

I can cook any style you want

let me help

brother

pass me the cooking oil

not the soy sauce

that one

can't you see the red eagle oil?

It needs some light soy sauce

right

brother

light soy sauce

here you go

now add some vegetarian oyster sauce

done

isn't it fragrant?

Cheers

mom

your son is home

fung, you're home

orchid is hugging...

About the matter of hugging

Malaysians are warm and friendly

it's normal to do hugging here

don't be alarmed

not that

orchid is hugging fung

fung?

Wait a minute

you finished all the dishes?

Without waiting up?

How was it?

Isn't my mom great at cooking?

We look so alike

it's obvious we're mom and son

your aunt sent you angpow

angpow

she asked you to get married soon

alright

another aunt gave you this

let me finish

wear this to get charming girls

could you ask her to stop bothering me

sorry

we spoke the hokkien dialect

orchid

that's a beautiful bracelet

may I ask for one, too?

Thank you

dad

what's a guy's business wanting this?

Let me be

you cousin has not arrived?

Oh my god

aunty

I'm back

you're back

pumpkin?

The girl from butterworth, penang

how do you know we're
from butterworth, penang?

Orchid, you are so strong

juggling with all these

thanks for your help too

I am grateful

thank you

I haven't heard anyone
thanking me for a long time

Actually, you're like my mom

ever since we suddenly lost her

it never felt the same home again

every time I go back

whatever that I do

can never replace her place at home

I hope she can forgive me

don't be silly

no mom ever wanted a replacement

you are her daughter

why would you want to replace her?

I believe all parents

have the same fear, that one day

they wouldn't be able to
pamper their children

I believe that's what
your mom were thinking

I really miss my mom

I know my dad miss her too

but I don't know how to console him

I fear my family may forget her one day

so I tried very hard

to do what mom would normally do

I am trying my best, I really am

but they seem to not care at all

all home-cooked meals

have the same base

which is rice

but how much water do you use to cook it?

Using a electric cooker

or traditional charcoal fire?

It all depends on members of that family

as defined by their tastebuds

so really, it's not up to you alone

if you didn't cook well today

try again tomorrow

if you didn't do well tomorrow

go rest for a couple of days,
and try again

I have no doubt that one day

you will make the most delicious

and most satisfying home-cooked meal

Actually, I really hope

to have someone cook for me

well, my son is quite talented

you could consider him

all I'm thinking now

is to help dad find his
scenic sea of clouds

so that he doesn't forget mom

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Why are you apologising?

Because I lied to you

actually

it's your family you should apologise to

do you know why

I ask people to go vegetarian?

Why?

Because I don't want to see anyone

be separated from their family

no matter human or animal

we have so little time
to be with loved ones

I don't want to see

what little time we have left

be taken away as well

now I understand

why you have so many followers

you are real

not like me

I'm a fake

if you have a choice

between two hundred thousand followers

and three family members

which one would you choose?

So many stars

so beautiful

yeah

it's so beautiful here

My fellow tour mates

why are you so late?

We woke up early

let's go then

sure

"the fourth day of Chinese new year"

this is it

I remember now

I was with you mom here

climbing these flights of stairs

come on

be careful

please be careful

let us go have a look

you can wait here

no way

be careful

don't be so stubborn

you have weak legs

don't force yourself ok?

Look, if we discovered the sea of clouds

we'll come back and get you

wait here

yes, please wait here

we'll be right back

have a seat

we'll go

please hurry

There's nothing here

let's go

I saw nothing up there

where's the sea of clouds?

Dad

fung was right

finding it is a matter of luck

since there's nothing here

let's go home

this can't be

we should get a car

let us go look around

it must be somewhere here

if we don't find the sea of clouds

I'm not going home

what?

We have looked from that tall tower

it's really not around anywhere

maybe I've made a mistake

maybe it's wrong information on the web

perhaps there is no such view

neither in genting nor Cameron highlands

there must be

I've been here before with your mom

I have the photograph

please don't be stubborn

dad

all three of us

have seen with our own eyes

there was nothing

how could it be here?

Perhaps you were mistaken?

You're getting old

maybe your memory isn't good

that photograph

could have been taken in other place?

Now look here

I do not have depression or Alzheimers

I'm still thinking clearly

when I was a worker in Hong Kong

I could navigate the entire place

I'm great at finding my way around

I can find it myself

that was Hong Kong

this is Malaysia

look at those sign boards

they're in english

you can't read those

how do you find your way?

How do you find your sea of clouds?

What I have is experience

trust me

experience?

The last time we trust your experience

we put all our family savings

in your investments

and lost it all in the financial crisis

because of you

mom had to suffer a difficult life

don't speak like this to our dad

oh shut up

save it, sis

it's your fault too

we never wanted to come to this trip

but you insisted to show-off

using your own money

to treat dad to this trip

what's happened now?

There's nothing here

you are such an idiot

so you played behind my back?

Using money to show-off?

Now I'm the old fool in eyes of the family

What else do you want from me?

Why are men always so righteous here?

At least I'm the one

who give the most effort for the family

could it be

that you are still angry with me

that I wasn't at mom's deathbed

because I couldn't get back in time?

You think I wanted that?

Flight ticket availability

is not something I can control

"Waiting for you
to come back day and night"

"When will you be back”

"coming back for my dizzy tears eyes"

Do you know this place?

No?

No?

It's a big span of clouds

take a taxi over there

"the fifth day of Chinese new year"

you guys leaving me of a small quarrel?

Where are you guys?

What is this?

You guys went for a massage

without me...

Why are you still here?

Pumpin said your dad took a taxi

and went to the stong mountain alone

why didn't you go with him?

Alone?

Yes

move

dad, what are you doing?

Thank you

"Stong mountain"

Dad

Dad

Dad

dad

Dad

I hope you're alright

daughter

dad

dad

wait for me

just wait there

are you alright?

Are you hurt?

I'm fine

how could I be hurt?

Why are you alone?

Where are your brothers?

What happened?

Why are you crying?

I'm fine

I'm glad you're alright

let me carry you

I can do it

you can doubt my driving skills

but trust me this time

let me help you

actually

I trust you

more than your brothers

you don't sleep at night

because you were planning for the trip

and you still have to drive at daytime

that's why I wanted your brother to drive

he can do these things

so that you can have some rest

you are my sweet daughter

not a buffalo

please forgive me

I'm very grateful

my dearest daughter

don't cry

I know you've lost your bracelet

along with your job

at least I have some craft skills

I've replace your bracelet

see

after you put this on

your luck in this new year onwards

will be nothing but a smooth journey

it's one of a kind

put it on

thank you, dad

what's this?

You were born in the year of rat

Actually,
the family looked forward to your return

because

if you are here

we will be so much happy

and no fear at all

I'm not sure

if we're able to survive here?

We'll be fine

don't think too much

dad, shiu sum

dad

where are you guys?

Shiu sum

brother

baby

we're here

over here

I've told you guys

if you're looking for the sea of clouds

must along with a mountain guide

I agree

going it without us?

Still dare to shout for

"have no fear, shiu sum is here"?

Dad

if you two did not turn up

I would have decided to

to sever our father-son relationship

camp site

we're almost there

just around the corner

There's even a singing session

there's even a bbq party

Do you want some?

It's very fresh

let's sing Chinese new year
songs and eat together?

I'll join

leave me out of it

why must we sing to earn the bbq?

Why is it related?

Even when I sell property to my clients

there were never request to sing songs

I didn't know you have clients at all

"prosperity is here..."

"Kindness begets more"

"remember..."

"Fortune is for the principled"

"prosperity is here..."

"Let us march together"

"earn what you deserve"

"shape the future today"

"earn what you deserve"

"shape the future today"

"earn what you deserve"

"shape the future today"

Brother

what happened?

Doesn't look good the weather

wake baby up

listen up

a storm is coming

we'll bring you to the shelter

it's safer there

pack up now

noted

becareful dad

we're not leaving

don't be stubborn

it's really happening

come on

I still want to witness the sea of clouds

not possible

you won't see it in this weather

you'll never know

take care of yourself

let's go guys

dad, be careful

"the sixth day of Chinese new year"

Why does it rain heavily all of a sudden?

Be careful

be careful, dad

go over there to get sheltered

covered with this

I think we shouldn't stay here

the mountain guide said

even if there were no rain

we may not see the clouds

Hold it up, brother

The rain has stopped

We should go

fung was right

it depends on luck

seeing a sea of clouds is a matter of fate

we have tried

there's no regret

this trip is a fiasco

not really, we have put in efforts

it doesn't matter if we see the view or not

as long as we do it as one family

I'm contented

alright

let's pack up

Come

dad, turn around

what happened?

What's going on?

Stay here

I'll count to three then only u turn

get ready

why so sneaky

ready

ok

=

=

Have a look

Dad

although we couldn't bring
you to the real one

but we made you a special one

this is just...

So nice

it's really nice

shiu sum

don't be sad

the turtle is not dead

it only went to heaven

heaven?

What is heaven like?

Lots of clouds

and it's beautiful

what is it like?

Now pay attention

That's beautiful

seeing the real sea of clouds

is a matter of luck

but if you wish to see it

make it yourselves

so you see

happiness

is a result of our own efforts

remember that?

Ian

let's take a family portrait

3, 2,1, smile

This time, I'm glad to have shiu sum

dad

are you happy?

My dear daughter

Sister

don't you know that this man-made one

we can actually make it at home

we could use back the turtle tank

and stayed home to do it

so we don't need to travel so far

how would it be the same?

You still don't get it

you guys were actually right

dad

slowly

almost there

Even when I asked to have a dinner

or take a family portrait

they were too busy to make it back

well, the truth is

we will travel as a family this year

and I have taken my leave
in this busy season

it's been so long

how's things?

He said to push the Van

aren't we going to genting
for the sea of clouds?

You're a loser

you all are losers

I've told you guys

we shouldn't have taken this trip

I wish mom is still here

one caught soliciting

one for public nudity

one for animal abuse

and all ended up here in prison

happiness

is a result of our own efforts

remember that?

Seeing the sea of clouds
actually isn't the important

the most important things is

we have been through all the difficulties

and our family is getting bonded

now it's all over

mom

I have seen the sea of
clouds with the family

With this beautiful scenery

could you stop taking the selfie

it's not that

are you ready with your pose?

I want to take a family portrait

A casual travelling by yourself

is nothing compared to

a family trip full of laughter?

It has many likes

I've followed your account

thank you

Don't leave

please stay for a few more days

I'll cook for you

right mom?

Right

why are you two swearing?

Orchid

why did you tell him about our chat

why don't you consider my son

dishes are here

Dishes are here

my property edition

guys

yeesang is here

everybody gather round

"the seventh day of Chinese new year"

come on

this is the heritage of Malaysian Chinese

as we mix the ingredients,
we say our greetings

alright

your wishes will come true then

great

hang on

Chinese new year song is a must

not again

music

let's do it now

may dad always be in good health

may brother be filthy rich

happy family

little brother become a popular influncer

I want a husband

he's right here

testing

new year's songs are the best

"earn what you deserve"

"shape the future today"

good

it's really nice here

even I wanted to buy it myself

but not that much money

just look around

the door often stucks

just look around

the air is nice here

many guests like it

please help

don't crease my trousers

Mr. tsui, give me a hand

why people nowadays

are being selfishness?

I'm so bitter

most importantly

I haven't been to genting highlands yet

you...

You will upgrade our room for free...

Little themepark

or little cloud

what about your dad?

He is a fiasco

- I haven't finished my line yet
- She haven't finished her line

we Malaysian are very patient at mahjong

you can only win the
game with a set of five

a set of five?

You see those?

There are plum, orchid,
chrysanthemum and bamboo

while we playing mahjong

we can reciting Chinese poem with it...

Cut

reciting poem...

Malaysia is such a funny place

so hilarious?

Drive into it we will die surely

the wind is blowing on us

director

if you don't cut now

there's an extra charge for writing songs

can't tear it at all

too sticky

lighter

I ordered ipoh noodles

no, I am wrong

ipoh bean sprout chicken

you called him baby

I would have thought you were his boyfriend

I'm sorry

he's your boyfriend, my mistake

moms please came back

shiu lap?

Father?

We are screwed

this time it's really screwed

director doesn't even call it cut

swing it harder

can you pull the brake?

What's the matter?

Open the door

the engine is off and
you won't be able to open the window

I can't open it

open the door

cut

orchid, you are having so many rices

you must be loaded

stop talking nonsense

it's not about

the "load and the load"

another aunt gave you this
two chains let you choose

pick two girls to let you choose

choose

you shoudn't use the word

cut, one more

mom you can't say that

how do you know we are
from butterworth, penang?

Now we know

people from butterworth

you don't believe me when I drive

you should believe me this time

I can do it

here comes the plane again

father, please wait for me

I'm coming

but I dare not go down

it's slippery

I'm your husband

it's finished

somemore?

And...

Nothing left
