Ahhh...

I don't want to go

Sarah

You don't want to go, but you have to go

I don't want!

Listen, Sarah

Ahhh...

Now what?

I am not leaving this car

Please, I don't have time for this

Come on! We have discussed this so many times already



I have changed my mind

Don't force me, I have my rights

Uncle, please wait for a while. I'll be right back

Fingers! Fingers!

I want to go back to New York!

Let me go!

Come on!

Let me go, please

Let me go

It is another stupid place

I want to go home

I can take the plane by myself

It is hot here, Sarah. Why don't you take off your jacket?

No! I am feeling cold. I am going back to New York!



Sarah, enough is enough.
Let me go

Keep walking

Why are they looking at me?
I don't want to stay here!

Listen!

You have made enough complaints for the past one week

The food, the street and almost everything

Even me was a devil to you, right?

So, you have only one choice, China or here?

New York!

Staying with grandpa is your only choice

And if you ever start yelling again, you are going straight back to China

What is that?

Thank you Master Lin

I'll make sure you scream louder if you fight again

Come, let's go

Next

Dad

Sarah, call grandpa

Sarah

Folks, please leave now

No more patient today

What are you kids doing here? Go Home!

Shame of you!

Dad

Sorry to trouble you, here are some living expenses

And some tea leafs for you

you...

I told you via phone that

I have to stay in Szechuan for work

Some of the clothing have some problems

The weather in China is getting cold

I know... I'm rushing for flight now

I've cooked...

Sweetie, I have to go.
So, you be a good girl, Ok?

Dad

Thank You

Come and go in haste

Did not even get to talk much

as if I'm a man-eater

She's not eating, I will!

You sleep in your mother's room, I've cleaned up for you

You!

Don't touch my things

Don't make me angry, you won't like me when I am angry

I am a Hulk!

Do you know what is Hulk?
So stay away from me!

This is not your room

So smelly!

That is your room

Come over to eat

Go wash your face and have dinner

I am not eating this

What did you say?

I am not eating this

Why no colour?

So boring!

Ahhh...

Oh my god! You are eating chicken feet. So disgusting!

Hi, mum

Yes, I am so fine living this hell with a weird monster

And what else do you care?

Why not?

Why can't I call him monster, and you did!

Nope, I have nothing to eat

And Mum

the monster eats chicken feet!

Okay! Alright, alright.
You tell him then. Bye!

Your monster daughter

Hello

She. . .

Okay

It's late now, still playing with games?

You'll disturb others who are sleeping

What do you think you're doing?

No matter what you say, I will still go

Give me the passport

Dad Dad

I will go even if I don't have the passport

Can't you study here?

Why must you go to United States ?

You're Chinese, why must you study abroad in English?

The Chinese culture is deep and profound, the learning is never ending

Moreover, if you go to United States, who's going to take care of you?

I take care of myself since I was young

Look at you

You have made a mess of yourself

I told you

Not to be with this Hao Nan who claimed he is an artist

He's not trustworthy but you were not listening. . .

Keep such long hair, like an androgynous, nothing to do with being artistic

He is a rogue who has misled you

I said, he is just lusting for women

You've always had prejudice towards Hao Nan

I'm going to United States with him

To experience different culture and lifestyle

Why are you still lying?

You thought I know nothing?

I saw you going to Dr Liew's gynaecology clinic in Pudu

Am I right?

Did I accuse you?

That bad apple, he's going to pay for this

you...

You followed me?

You should have self-respect

That bastard made you pregnant, how long do you want to hide it from me?

He has ruined you

I'm going to look for him and beat him to death

Dad

Don't mess things up!

No matter how, I've decided to go to United States

I must go

You're going

not because of studies

You just want to give birth to the baby secretly, am I right?

Isn't that better?

You won't lose face if I hide myself

I'm doing this for your good

You're a single parent child too

Have you ever thought about

studying and having a baby at the same time?

Do you have the ability?

Can he take care of you?

Sophia

Let's resolve your problem as one

as long as you stay

Alright?

I'm your father, we are family

Dad

I beg you to leave me alone

I love Hao Nan, I must go with him

I won't let you! You're my daughther, I raised you

You must listen to me

But you can't be minding everything

I must go

If you really want to go

then don't ever step into this house

I've never thought of coming back

Dad

I'm coming back

Morning! Master Lin

Morning! Master Lin

We have everything in our grocery store

Why are you still wasting money to buy snacks from other store? You are naughty!

Mum, everything in our shop are so outdated and old fashion

Look at 7-11's packaging, so modern

And it's air-conditioned
Morning! Master Lin

In In In... In your head!

Come out!

In In In... In your head!

Come out!

Is 7-11 selling Korean skin care products?

And

I've ordered a bunch of stocks online

You'll see that our shop is trendy too!

Aunty Ming

Hi, Master

He is still a kid, got to teach slowly

More important is does he listen?

You're right!

Other kids are possible, but

mine took my words like passing wind

And stubborn

Only physical punishment can fear him

For your granddaughter?

Yes Yes

Master Lin

Your granddaughter is here to accompany you now

the house must be livelier

So

you both must be getting along well

Don't mention about it

She is Chinese

but acting like Western

Only speaks English

I can't get along with her

just like a saying, 'Chicken and Duck talk'!

I have no clue how to get along with her in the coming months

Master Lin

Do you remember when I first came from Taiwan

I was having the 'Chicken and Duck talk' with the neighbours too

but now it's not a problem anymore

You just said

must be patient with kids

and having good communication with them

Don't worry

Then. . . why are you scolding me everyday ?

And did not communicate with me patiently

Communicate with you..patiently?

I think I should talk to your butt instead!

Or throw you out to the drain and let it flush your brain?

I must use the cane to communicate with you now

Where did you hide my cane?

I've not hit you for long time! I'm going to cane you for real this time!

No need to look for it!

There are so many canes hanging there, when have you used them?

Talk without action

You've spoiled him

One day. . . I will make sure I cane you hard

What take Master so long?

Tan again ?

Unit number is 6D, why put in 9B letter box?!

McDonald's coupon! Jackpot! Yes!

Don't simply take things!

Master Master

Let me carry for you, it's heavy

No need, I can do it

Master Master, actually my English is good

I can be your translator

Are you that good?

Of course

Really?

Ridiculous!

What is this?

This is Chinese sausage

Your mother said you like chocolate milk,

chinese sausage and fried egg for breakfast

So, your grandfather will cook for you

Who are you?

My name is Jia Bao

Meaning I am very precious in the family

My house is that one

I am going to be 12 years old

What is your name?

Sarah

How to spell your name?

S-A-R-A-H

S-A is 'sa' R-A-H is 'rah' (Malay pronunciation)

Oh, her name is Sarah

Mistake?

So wrong, why are you calling yourself 'Salah'? (In Malay, means 'Mistake')

Your birth was a mistake

Study English education is a mistake

Disrespect to the elderly is even more a big mistake

Bao

Translate for me

Ok. No problem

What to translate?

You tell her

She must follow my rules if she is staying here

Your rules?

My rules

Your grandfather said he has rules for you to follow

What?

Rule No.1

Must respect the elderly

Rule No.2

Must dress appropriately

Rule No.3

Must have discipline, and well mannered

1st rule is you must obey the adults

No. 2 is. . .

What is No. 2 again?

Girls must wear appropriately

Not too short at the bottom, and not too expose the top

2nd rule is girls cannot wear too short

Not like what you are wearing now

3rd rule is

You must greet people!

If someone old like your grandfather call him uncle

My father is not that old but you can also call him uncle

but if you call him 'Handsome', he will be more happy!

You may call my mother aunty, okay?

What are you saying?

What did she say?

She said everything is fine...

Great

Bull Shit

What did she say again?

She said all good. No problem, no problem

Bao

You speak good English

Not too bad. . .

Of course!

I want sausage and sunny side up, and where is the chocolate milk ?

Why are you asking me to eat all these awful food?

Milo is also chocolate drink, I drink too

Stop talking to me, I don't understand what you are speaking!

You talk like an alien, Stupid ET!

Fine fine

Bao, you go home first

What do you want?

I don't want to speak to you either

What have I done wrong again !

I brought my own food !

So wrong

What a big mistake

Ouch, it's painful

Lift your head higher

So painful! Sleep earlier

Don't talk about it. Look at yourself first

You think you're still young?

Don't burn the midnight oil

Is this your granddaughter?

Heard you came from New York

Wow! Big city!

Look at her hair, so beautiful

Come. . . say hello to sister, come say hello

Please don't touch me!

Just ignore her

Done

Thank you!

Sweetie, please... don't call grandpa monster

I know you have been longing to meet him.

Be a good girl

No wonder mum wants me to learn martial art

Zhang Jia Bao, you come out right now

Where are your ears?

How many times I've told you not to make your father angry

You never listen

No! I did not

What do you mean 'No'?

Why is there a big hole in this newspaper?

Mum, that is my favorite cartoon

Bring me to Hong Kong Disneyland to see the real character, okay?

I'll give you a 'KO'

This is your father's favorite section! He checks out the lottery results here

Just a waste of time, he has never won it before

Your jinx mouth, later your father. . .

I'm going to hit you till your mother cannot recognize your face!

Hey! why are you hitting me?
You little rascal!

I want to eat porridge today. Fry more salted fish

Sure! I'll add extra salted egg for you, honey

Cry more, cry louder
Hey. . .

I'll hit you as hard as I can!

You hit my head!

Can't you just act a little !

Later I'll get scolded for spoiling you again

Your father wants porridge today, he must be feeling heaty so will easily get angry!

it's painful. . .

You see, dad did not say anything

Still so stubborn, old rules, punishment!

No problem for me, come on baby

I'm your mother!

You said foul language !

What a 'lucky' day!

I just permed my hair yesterday

And now I have to fry salted fish

Mum. . . I want to take my mobile phone

Mum, please give me my mobile phone

You're on punishment, so no mobile phone!

Bao

Yes?

Again?

Small matter

So today you're not going to little world?

Let's decorate our little world

Yeah !

But Miss Ivy, Bao cannot come along

You guys are not loyal friends, leaving me behind

What happened this time?

My mum punished me to stand here, not allowed to go anywhere

You must have done some naughty acts that made your mum punish you

Can't help you

Let's go

Be good okay

Maybe your mother will shorten the punishment

See you in little world

So upsetting

Zhang Jia Bao, are you standing outside?

Yes Yes

On the way, on the way

Oh man, can't you pick up the call later !

Why so noisy?

Quick, run home, faster faster!

Hey, stupid ET. What are you doing?

Are you nuts? Where is your brain? You Dirty brat !

Do you find it funny playing with boogers?

You are so disgusting!

Hi, Sarah!

What did you say?

Sarah! I am Sarah!

You guys are causing me to get sick

And especially you, stupid ET!

You are such a retard, fat, ugly, Stupid ET! This is hell!

What's happening?

Why are you both arguing?

Master Lin, what's the matter?

Why did you say here is hell? Cannot, not good

Why not? Everything is so smelly here, the people and the food

You all are weird people, everyone talks like aliens

What did she say?

Never mind

No, no, no! Go!

And this old man, he ate awful food

You, Fat boy! Listen! You speak lousy and horrible English!

Did you just make Sarah angry? What was she saying?

All my fault. . . everything is my fault okay!

Bao, don't talk anymore. Go in, go in

Go in, go in

Apologise to her now
Let me go!

I did nothing wrong

but she scolded me fatty for no reason
Put me down!

I'm punishing you but you're flirting with girls ?

See how angry is Sarah now

I did not

Where are you going ?

I was shocked earlier, my heart is thumping fast, I need to rest, okay?

Great then, perhaps you can help to deliver food to you father

At the same time, tell him that you are having a rapid heart beat

So, ask him to take you to a doctor, alright?

How can you do that to me?

You stay right here

I'm going to punish you, come back here

I heard her

always talking to the phone

Sometimes with someone she called 'Google'

Sometimes she mentioned the name 'Twitter'

And sometimes talked with 'Facebook'

I heard

those are friends meeting online

I'm worried that she will be cheated

If kids do not have friends

You'll be worried

I'll get Ivy to help

When girl talks to girl

It's easier

Master Lin, let me tell you

The kids are on long holiday now

They only want to play and have fun

Their favorite place is McDonald's

You bring Sarah, Bao, Di and the rest along

Kids will easily become friends when they eat together

Once they have new friends

She will forget about the Google. . . Twitter. . . etc

Mac-Le-Lo
(McDonald's)?

Mac-Lo-Le
(McDonald's)

Mac-Lo-Le
(McDonald's)!

Yes

Sarah, you make friend with me okay?

This is my buddy Hero, but his power is zero

This is tomboy Ah Di, English meaning 'brother',

his father wants a son desperately

Don't listen to him, I have Chinese name, I'm. . .

Why are you speaking in Mandarin with her, she doesn't understand

This is our Malaysia food

Do you know Malaysia food?
They are very delicious!

Only you are a greedy eater!

Quick, let's go

Sarah, are you hungry?

Do you want some food?

We are very hungry

I am not asking you!

Later what do you feel like eating in McDonald's?

So hungry!

Just be patient, I'm hungry too

Sarah!!!

You're a grown up

can't even distinct left and right

Didn't your mother teach you how to cross the road ?

I am from New York, I don't think you know where it is!

She said. . .

Who said my mum didn't teach me, don't scold my mum!

Sarah

How come she speak Mandarin?

Why can't she speak Mandarin?

Then why am I talking to her in English all the time!

Great... She can speak Mandarin

Excuse me

Two happy meal set, both chicken burger, please

I've ordered for you

Please give me one black coffee

Huh?!

Wait a second, photo time!

Are you done yet?

Done

My turn to take

Snap for me too please

It's time to eat

Start eating

Sarah, try this

What is this for?

So you can speak Mandarin

If I knew it then it will save me so much trouble

Of course I can, I am Chinese

But your translation is bad, like an ET talking

All because you spoke too fast

And

I have many Malaysian friends

Their English is much better than you

Where did you come from? How come I've not seen you before?

I live with my mum in New York

New York

I know, it is famous with Statue of Liberty

Do you know why New York is called 'Big Apple'?

Because the apples over there are bigger

Stupid, can only find apple tree in Washington

Otherwise how can Newton chopped down the apple tree?

I thought it was Washington who chopped down the cherry tree?

Only Japan has cherry trees, if not where did the cherry blossoms come from?

You know nothing!

You guys are wrong, I know the answer

The answer is, Apple (Iphone) is made in New York

Of course I know!

Don't try to be clever

Master, why are you not eating?

It's okay, you go ahead

He only eats black and white stuff

What are you talking about?

What black and white stuff?

Everyday he eats white porridge, steam white pork, fried white vegetables

Eat steam chicken

drink black coffee without sugar

and eat white bread

Wow! Looks like Master knows how to sing Michael Jackson's 'Black Or White'

Don't talk when you're eating

'Mac-Lo-Li',
'Mac-Lo-Le'

What is this ?

This is Hokkien fried noodle

Why is it black? So dirty

Don't comment that food is dirty

Must appreciate food

This is the specialty of Hokkien fried noodle

When it's fried with black sauce

taste good

I am not eating this

I don't want to eat this

I think you have finished eating all food that you brought over

When you're in United States

you don't get to eat much of Chinese noodles, am I right?

Why are you not eating?
This noodle is popular

Shouldn't I eat noodles with chopsticks?

Thank you

Use chopsticks

In the right way

Then your food will not drop while picking it up

Look, it didn't drop

Don't hold the end of chopsticks

Else girl will married a distant away from home

Hold it in the middle, that's right

Mum said when she was little, if she didn't hold it correctly

her father will knock her fingers with chopsticks

Her father said. . . do not speak during meals and do not talk in your dreams

What is your Christian name?

I am your grandfather

Everyone calls you Master

'Sifu' (Master) 'Sifu' (Master)

I'll call you Steve then

Many people in New York have tattoo

Mum said not necessarily a bad person

So, are you a hero ?

Have you ever hit my mum?

You hit when one is disobedient

Mum said you have never visited us in New York before, why?

Do you love my mum ?

Be respectful. Eat your food

What about my dad?

Is he still living here?

Is this him?

No more question about him,
please go to bed now. Good night

Young lady, are you looking for someone?

Why are they not using starbucks paper cup?

Hi missy! Where is your mummy?

Throw, throw

Sarah!

Hey, throw the ball down. . . faster faster

Throw the ball down

Sarah, we are here. come down! Quick

Hello Sarah!

But I don't know how to play trashing

Just come down... we can cycle

Yes, if you don't know how to ride then I'll drive you

Of course I know how to ride a bicycle

I know her. . . she's my friend from Big Apple

What is that apple, orange or durian?

Means New York, gosh you don't even know it

Sarah, come over

You're not from this town, so you cannot join us

Who said she's not, she is

I'm the boss here, I said it

You're too short to be a boss

If you want to join us

You must pass my assessment

But. . .

look at you, I don't think you can do it

So?

If you can push me away

You win

You said it

Yes, I said it

Sarah go! Sarah go!

You played cheat, not counted

Very good

Big bro, you're good!

Boys bullying girls, not fair! Shame of you!

Okay

Forgot my wallet, pay you next time okay

What happened to you?

I noticed your hand

Is your hand injured ?

Or cut?

Can you let grandpa take a look ?

You

Too much of mobile games

Always tilting down your head

Sooner or later your neck will have problem

Young people nowadays

Cannot live without the gadget for a minute

Even when they are eating

As if they are doing big business

Painful?

Painful?

Release it if you're in pain

It's not shameful!

You are just like your mother

Stubborn

Don't worry, let grandpa treat a few times

It will recover fast

Listen carefully, don't drink ice water

Avoid cold wind

Most importantly

Don't play too much mobile games

You see

At your fingernails, it's full of chemicals

This is not good for kids

Okay

Okay, no worries

Still playing? Isn't your hand in pain?

Oh no!

That is for dish washing

Put it down, put it down

Let me help you to wash later

Come

Sit properly

I used to wash your mother's clothes

I know how to use the washing machine

Only lazy people use washing machine

Wasting water and electricity

Handwash clothes are the cleanest

Homemade warmth brand

I bought you fish porridge

Children should eat more fish

Later

I'll rub some ointment for you

Then I'll help you to sun the clothes

Of couse

Grandpa, put me down

Grandpa!

Hello! Good morning!

Watch out!

Grandpa

Let's go

Mum designed this outfit!

Buy one please!

Grandpa

Yes

Why didn't you buy from the previous stall?

It's cheaper by five cents here

Really?

Only five cents!

Eat first

Why are you taking pictures?

I can share the photos with friends

Share? How?

I will post on the Internet, to share it online with friends

Never mind, you won't understand

Let me tell you

Some things on the Internet will have bad influence on children

You better not get hooked up to it

There are good things on the Internet too

For example you can read news online

Hence you can save on newspapers

Hello!

We are here to eat breakfast too

Sarah, is your hand still painful?

Not anymore

What is wrong?

Don't call her wrong name

It's...

SA... LAH

Go, go

Hot drink! Pork bun and glutinous chicken rice

Yes

Later we are going to our little world

What little world? Where is it?

It's our happy garden, do you want to come with us?

Yes, do you want to come?

But Ah Qiang. . .

Don't worry about him, we are not his gang

We will not play with him anymore because he bullied you

Go away!

Eat first, it's getting cold

Sarah, I'll share the password with you next time okay

Let me sit, let me sit

Sarah

Welcome to my world!

This little world is so unique

Of course, small but very hi-tech and modern, right?

When I was in New York, I'm either on my mobile

Or chatting with friends online

Even the playground in the garden cannot compare with this litte world

I don't have a mobile phone

My dad said it's good enough to have money for school

So don't even dream about buying a phone

I know. . . my dad will buy anything for my future younger brother

Must I get a mobile phone in order to have friends?

I'd rather have an iPod so that I can sing and dance along

I only have two friends anyway

No, it is three now!

I have everything, my parents are either taking care of the shop

Or play with their phones individually

My mum buy clothings online secretly every night

While my dad is always tilting his head down

Since they do not have time for me, they bought me everything

I've got all the pod, pad, phone, etc. . .

It's boring to play with it everyday

We've our gang to play together here

Yes, year end holiday is long

It's happy to be here

Miss Ivy always teach us handcraft

Miss Ivy is major in. . .

In some design. . . design with trash. . .

It's environmental protection design

My mum studied fashion design

Miss Ivy is beautiful

I want to keep long hair and wear long skirt like her when I grow up

Stop flaunting. . . you're a tomboy, the way you walk is rough, better wear a sarong!

Hey!

as long as I am a girl, I can wear skirt

But not you! Right, Sarah?

I like to see Miss Ivy, like to hear her sing

You're flaunting too!

But. . .

My girlfriend must be gentle and soft like Miss Ivy

Hopefully not like my mum, always scolding so loud

Is she that good?

I don't think so

My mum is pretty and trendy

Miss Ivy is pretty too, she often come here to give us tuition

You went tuition? But your English is poor

Let me teach you all

Repeat after me

She sells sea shells on the Irish sea shore

So easy

She sells sea...

Come, let's say it together

You lived in United States therefore your English is good

Let's compete in Cantonese.
What do you think?

Cantonese? Let's do it!

Doctor came in to the operation room to press the emergency button

So easy

Doctor came in to the operation room press press press button

Doctor came in to the operation room to press the emergency button

Doctor came in to the operation room to press the emergency button

Yeah! Heard it? Yes!

Mum, Sarah is here

Sarah

Aunty

Your grandpa is worried that you don't know what is sweet dumpling

So he wants you to take a look!

Why must we make this?

Tomorrow is the day for sweet dumpling

Don't you eat them in United States?

It's Winter Solstice!

Usually we will be busy with Christmas shopping at this time of the year

Take a bigger spread if you want bigger dumplings

If you want smaller dumplings, then use less flour

For dumpling, you must knead as round as possible

During Winter Solstice, eating dumplings represents family reunion

and one year wiser for children

Look at him, a dirty cat

Don't laugh

What are you all doing?

Don't play with food?

They are only kids

Kids. . . so? Cannot scold?

Everyday, you only think of playing

Next time you'll be the rubbish man

Why would one talk about the son this way?

What's wrong?

Cut the crap, don't waste my strength talking

Honey, remember to buy supper!

You are silly

Everyday say on diet and now you want supper ?

It is for your son!

Okay! Okay!

Why breathe so deep?

Your father loves you

but just act as if he doesn't care

Don't sympathize me, I'm used to it

It's a blessing in disguise if I don't get scolding one day!

Come, let's knead dumplings

Grandpa, excuse me

Don't burn your hands

Let me help

Why do I have so many dumplings?

The aunty next door said

eating dumpling during Winter Solstice represents a year wiser

You have sixty dumplings

Mine

only eleven

Must be adults want to eat more

so make up this story to children!

Grandpa can give you more

Cannot!

Of course I can

Dumpling round and round

Dessert sweet and sweet

Grandpa give you more

After eating, faster grow up and earn money a lot more

This is from Bao and me

I see

No wonder so sweet

Guess what color your mum's favorite was?

Pink

That's right

Mum, I hope you're eating dumplings in China too

Or, you've forgotten Winter Solstice?

I love you mum!

Why are you sneaking around?

Master! Why are you scaring me?

Remember! You must prepare Christmas tree and roast turkey!

Mum, today is Christmas Eve, are you busy?

This is my collection for 2017

And I would like to separate you all into usual two teams

So for you

You guys take care of the summer collection

The weather here is hot

Is it snowing in New York?

You guys. . .

Winter collection

Deadline is third quarter

Will you buy me Christmas present from China?

I wish I could have a turkey feast

and ginger bread

Mum is ignoring me

Will grandpa celebrate Christmas with me?

Mum, I miss you!

Sarah, Sarah!

Let's go, Miss Ivy is waiting for us in her car

Where to?

She is bringing us to enjoy the sight of Christmas lighting decorations

and shopping in the same time

Let's go

Grandpa

Can I go out with them?

I'll be back for dinner later

Must listen to Miss Ivy, don't run around alone, understand?

Yes Sir!

Wait for me!

Let me help you to change

This is the place

Hurry, choose your Christmas presents

Yeah!

But not too expensive okay

What happened? Miss your mum?

This is my first Christmas without mum by my side

Actually, it doesn't matter where you celebrate Christmas

It doesn't matter whether there is white Christmas and turkey feast

Most important is during Christmas Eve

Everyone in the family is safe and happy

I trust that your mum would
want to see you happy too

Finally, my little angel smiles again, let's go get your present!

Miss Ivy, I want to buy grandpa a present

but I have no idea what to get for him

I think...

Let's buy something that he could use often!

Something that he can use often?

Grandpa, we are back!

What is this, grandpa?

Christmas tree

Christmas tree?!

Is it supposed to look like this?

I've looked around a few shops, can't get a pine tree

So I've used the sago cycas tree instead

Bro Dong, did you see the few sago cycas tree at the corridor?

Master Lin said he is borrowing for a day

and will return them tomorrow!

Oh, okay, no problem!

Christmas tree! Christmas tree!

Hush...

Everyone must be hungry now, put down your things and let's eat

I've told your parents to let you stay for dinner

Yes!

Miss Ivy please stay back for dinner too okay

Okay Okay

I want to sit with grandpa

I am hungry

Wait for Master Lin!

I can't wait to eat my Christmas turkey !

Christmas turkey is here!

Yeah!

Let it cool down for a while first

Where's the turkey?

This is the turkey you told me about

Tur-Key

Gosh, Master! it's turkey, not mud chicken

Bao, all because you speak broken English!

Doesn't matter, let's eat now!

One, two, three

Whose birthday is it?
Why are there red eggs?

Uncle Lin is way too creative

Now we have a oriental style Christmas party

Especially the Christmas tree, a masterpiece, right?

We are chinese, of course we don't need to follow the western style

They eat turkey, we eat mud chicken

Come come come, let's eat chicken

Cheers!

Grandpa

Merry Christmas, this is for you

What is this?

With this, you don't have to scratch your back against the wall anymore!

Good night!

Wishing grandpa a Merry Christmas, Lin Shi Jia

Finally Steve will stop scratching his back against the wall! Yes!

Such a big crowd, finally we get everyone together

Sarah, isnt this party different from the ones in United States?

Let me go get your three friends

They will be very happy to see you

Happy New Year! Happy New Year!

Glad to see you joining us
Yes, yes

Master Lin, Sarah, please sit down!

Brothers and sisters

Excuse me for a while

We are passerby

Saw that there is a party here

We are worried for your safety

So, we are here to protect you

Protect you all!

Hello, we are very safe here, don't need your protection

Why not you go somewhere else. . .

Keep your mouth shut! Don't be busy body!

Who are you?

Big brother, let's not make things look bad

It's you Master Lin

Are you here to stand out for the rest

I dare not

I have a bill to claim from you

What bill?

The other day after you treated my arm

It got worsen after I went home

I don't care, you have to compensate five hundred ringgit to me

Five hundred?

Else I'll get my brothers to tear down your clinic

Don't cross the line!

Brother, don't scared the children

Why not we settle it over there?

Can't we talk here?

Did I scare anyone?

I shall compensate

You are lying!

That day grandpa treated your left arm

Oh, It is his left arm

Kiddo, be careful of your mouth

It's true, I recognized your disgusting face

Okay

I have three hundred ringgit with me now, take it first

Master Lin

Don't grandpa!

Only three hundred, not even enough for us to buy food

If we make a police report, you don't even need the money

Because you have free meals in jail

Come to my clinic tomorrow, I'll give you another two hundred

That sounds better Master Lin, thank you!

Brothers, let's get some food 1st

Thank you!

Happy New Year!

Grandpa!

Grandpa, mum said your Kung Fu is powerful, why are you afraid of them?

Your grandpa didn't want to stir up a fight, understand?

Sarah!

What are you angry at?

That's too shameful

Hey! Stay there!

Stay there!

Kids should stay away from this matter

Aunty Ming

Grandpa, let me help!

Master Lin!!

Not so hard, not so hard

Nothing major, just a bruises

Remember, try not to stay in cold windy area

Dry yourself quickly after shower, avoid having direct contact with aircond

If it's still painful, come back tomorrow, I'll do more treatments

Master, it's Master!

You're so amazing!

Master Lin!

Master Lin!

What an eye-opener

Finally I get to witness our 70s lead martial art Kung Fu kicks back

Awesome!

Dear neighbours, don't mention about the past

I've not been a lead coach for a long time since

Master!

What's the matter?

Can I be your disciple? I've been wanting to learn Kung Fu

Please, let me be your disciplel! Please..

Grandpa, I want to improve my Kung Fu too, please teach me!

Please say yes. . .

Please teach me!

Alright alright, I'll teach you all

Yes

Not so loud

Don't disturb other's bedtime

Wow! Fireworks! Happy New Year, Happy New Year!

It's another new year!
Look at the fireworks

Songs that accompanied me through childhood years

Humming occasionally when it runs through my mind

Always remembering mum's advice

they are forever in my dreams and memories

A special world for you and me

A special love one can't see

You are like the Stars, not always seen but never leave

Wherever you go

Whatever will be

Ser Feliz Ser Feliz

For me

Learning from 1,2,3,4 to A,B,C

even though not always paying attention

Teacher's words are always clear at heart

And never ever forget

You mean the world to me

You make me love endlessly

Life is beautiful if we believe in our dreams

Wherever you go

Whatever will be

Ser Feliz Ser Feliz

For me

Wherever you go

Whatever will be

Ser Feliz Ser Feliz

For me

Be happy be happy

For me

Master Lin

Did you eat too much of heaty stuff recently?

Are you okay?

I'm good

Grandpa, have you 'poo poo' today?

Master Lin

Don't drink too much coffee, it's heaty, drink more herbal tea!

Come over for a moment, Master Lin

Come over, come over

Please come, sit here with us!

Who's not feeling well?

We are all well

It's you instead Master Lin

We cannot deny the fact when one is old

You're wrong. . . age is not a problem

Even golden age people can join singing contest

And they create more hype than the young people

Yes yes

But Master Lin, you're really good

You're more popular than our Miss 'Hoong'
(Chinese meaning 'red a.k.a popular')

She's popular in Malaysia, but you went international!

Yes yes

What are you trying to say?

Don't open your mouth wide when you're taking afternoon nap

Your mouth is bigger than when I was singing!

Afly might just land in your throat

You have nocturia, right?

at least three times a night

you went in and out of the washroom, it's even more often than when I was pregnant

You've been eating five bananas, three papayas

Drinking wintermelon barley tea and stayed in the toilet for half an hour

That's abnormal!

It's none of your business!

You!

Big mouth! Full of decay

No wonder you have bad breath

You!

Too much coconut water during pregnancy

Causing your baby to regurgitate milk. Am I right?

And you!

I don't care whether you're 'Miss Red' or 'Red Bean Soup'!

Too much wind in your head that caused severe headache

Come to my clinic, I'll treat you

Okay

Excuse me

Oh my goodness, I'm gone!

I'm talking like a busy body and grumpy old woman today!

Sarah shared it!

See for yourself

Read it out loud

Just read!

This is my grandpa, he knows martial art

His 'Wing Chun' is superb

but, he salivates when he sleeps

and he makes loud sound

Snoring

Right, he will snore

and he even has constipation problem

He stays long in the toilet

Are all old people going through the same thing?

Don't read it anymore!

So wrong!

Shi Jia!

How could you expose my secrets?

Now everyone pointed out on me whenever they saw me

Moreover

they used to respect me

Greet me Master Lin every time they see me!

Now, they just laugh behind my back! Making fun of me

I am sharing the truth

But it has nothing to do with others

Grandpa, your thinking is too old fashion

Like my friends in United States. . .
Jeff, Emily, Justin, Carina. . .

Their grandparents communicate through friendsbook and blog too

So whether it's constipation, snoring

or salivate during sleep, alzheimer. . .

Excuse Me

They share too

It's common aging issue

Grandpa, you are not alone

And

when they are sick, they go online to seek medical advice

or research on relevant info

They encourage one another, it's not shameful

So, not a problem at all

I hardly understood half of what you have said!

Here is not United States!

Grandpa, you should learn how to go online, so that you don't fall behind

Go online?

I've fed fish today!

Online? Grandpa feels like hanging myself

Don't say that! Touch wood!

I've said so much, do you understand?

Grandma, grandpa is afraid of doctor and medicine

I told him to eat an apple a day but he refused to listen

Please keep him in your prayers, let him recover from constipation

So complicated!

At first the salesman said 2G is good

Then he told me 3G is stronger

Later he claimed 4G is better than 2G and 3G

I am so confused

What is all the 'G' about?

Bao!

Are you here to help me to choose a phone, or here to eat?

Let me think. . .

You can buy I phone, Samsung, Oppo, Sony, Nokia, HTC or Little Mi

Since you're a newbie, it doesn't matter

You will change when there's a new model anyway

But, I really, really want to have a new Ipad

I meant the tablet

With the tablet

I can teach you how to use your phone

The tablet you mentioned, is it the bigger ones?

but how come only the big gadget can teach the small gadget?

Of course only the big can teach the small!

Just like only big bird can teach a small bird how to fly, right?

You're so out!

My granddaughter said I'm out, and now you said the same too

I'll make sure I'm not out!

Okay, good good! I'll work hard too!

but. . . please please do not let my parents know about this

Else they will hit me as if I'm a pancake that stick on the wall

Ok deal!

You don't tell Sarah that I'm learning how to use the Internet too

Why?

Just don't tell

Else I wont buy it for you

Okay, okay, I swear!

What is this?

Away of keeping promises.
Hero taught me, you just follow

Eat some french fries

Mum, I'm back!

You rascal!

What! Why did you hit me?

I'm going to give you a hard lesson today

Enough!

Bao, tell me

Since when you learnt to steal from others?

I did not?!

Still deny? Where did you get this from?

Answer me!

Did you steal money from shop, or you stole it from elsewhere?

You're looking at my things without my permission too

I'm worried that you rub bad habits, that's why I'm checking your bag

No explanation required

Don't answer back! I'm going to beat you until you tell me the truth!

Enough, do you want to beat him to death?

Stay calm

Bao, what happened?

No matter what you want I make sure we buy it for you

Mobile phone, gadgets, and all sort of toys

Why are you still stealing?

Mum, I did not steal from others

You thought all I wanted are just gadgets and toys?

I rather not have phone and gadgets

All I want is just your companion, and spending more time with me

Take me to the movies, theme parks

You've been saying for over a thousand times to bring me to Singapore

But it's all lies

I bet you all don't know that I'm good in basketball

You've never come to my school to see me compete against other team

And. . .

Can both of you not argue everyday?

I'm scared everytime you two quarreled... very scared

How could you do this?

You'll be sued if you're in United States

My mum has never invaded my privacy

She wont hit me

Adults should respect children too

What are you talking about?

We love him, we just care about him!

Aunty Ming, this is a misunderstanding

I bought the tablet for Bao

I asked Bao to teach me how to use the Internet

and agreed to buy him an Ipad. He did not steal!

I'm responsible for this

The commendable thing is Bao kept his promise

even when he's being scolded and beaten

He is noble hearted

It's your blessing to have Bao as your son

Bao. . .

Bao, sorry son

Do it yourself

Bao

Bao...

Bao...

Baby

Come

Grandpa

Why didn't you ask me to teach you how to use the Internet?

Master Lin, your granddaughter is beautiful

Grandpa, why didn't you ask me to teach you?

Grandpa

We shall talk later

Grandpa

What is the model of your phone, grandpa?

What is the number?

You're so long winded!

Grandpa, I'm your family, why did you ask an outsider to teach you

You're good to Bao, why didn't you treat your family better?

I'm talking to you!

Look at me when I'm speaking, answer me!

Speak Mandarin, okay!

Grandpa!

You're annoying me, stop jumping!

Please grandpa!

Tell me the brand?

Please grandpa, what's the brand?

Is it Iphone or Samsung?

Long-winded!

Grandpa, what's the brand?

You, petty and long-winded

I'll ask Bao to marry you if no one wants you in the future

I don't want!

Thank you for giving me love and space

I love you Mum

This is my mobile number.
Of course you are my family

Good night Grandpa

Learning is a never ending process

You'll be eliminated if you don't learn

< You mean the world to me >

< You make me love endlessly >

Don't laugh too hard before sleep, you will get a bad dream

Good night!

I have nothing to do with all mentioned above!

Keep the noise down

I did not say anything

Walk too loud

Which one?

The one with old man in it

Be careful

You did not close the door

You should appreciate my help!

Acquaintance destined to become a mistake

Where's the chicken head?

This is not the herb medicine, it's tea!

Who?

Who broke my herb medicine?

Stand there

Come over!

Who did it?!

We accidentally broke it, I'm sorry

You broke my thing and sorry is the only thing you're saying?

How many times I've told you not to touch my things?

You never learn to be a good kid

Just like your mum, ignore instructions

It's only a bottle of herb medicine

It's not just a herb medicine

I had put too much of myself in it 12 years ago

I know you don't like me, I don't like you too, get it?

You!

Master

What do you want? You don't talk for her

It's all my fault

What are you talking about?

Actually I broke the the bottle of medicine

It's not Sarah's fault

Scold and hit me if you want to

Sarah has nothing to do with it

We were just trying to hang the photo frame

When I turned, I accidentally fling the bottle to the floor

Did you see Sarah?

No

Thank you

Have you seen Sarah?

Shi Jia

Shi Jia

Don't scare grandpa!

Shi Jia

< Twinkle, twinkle, little star >

< How I wonder what you are >

< Up above the world so high >

< Like a diamond in the sky >

< Twinkle, twinkle, little star >

< How I wonder what you are >

You asked whether I've hit your mum before?

If you want to go, then you don't step in to my house anymore!

I've not thought of coming back

but I regretted. . .

You asked me, whether I've been to New York?

Yes

I've been to New York

This is Chinese herb medicine

For my daughter, for her confinement

What is this? Some kind of chinese medicine or remedy?

I've said so many times

My daughter is pregnant

It is for her to take during confinement after giving birth

Is good for her health

Okay, you can go

This no!

You can go, this no!

I must bring this herb medicine for my daughter!

Sir, stay on your side of the table

Sir, you can go

Not for this

My daughter is giving birth, she needs this herb medicine for her health

Do you understand me? You can go, this no!

I go, this go! This no, I no!

That incident, I learnt two new words. . . no no, go go

I love your mother

Of course I love her

Twelve years, the bottle of herb medicine has been sitting there

I frequently touched it and staring at it

That had made me miss you both a lot

Your mother was doing very well in her studies

but her temperament is stubborn

Just like me maybe. . .

During her secondary years, she met an useless man

She was determined to follow him to United States

What saddened me most was...

Not long after they went to United States

The useless man dumped you both

Your mum had a hard time

but she is capable

An asian girl

who has a baby and needs to handle studies in the same time

won a place in a top fashion company in United States by her hard work

She's our pride

She brings glory to the Chinese!

Yes, many celebrities wear mum's design

That day, she called back suddenly and said she's coming back with you along

I was shocked, but happy

However. . .

She came and went in a rush. . .

Just stayed a short while

I know

she still hates me in her heart...

Grandpa, I know everything about mum

and I know who is my father

Hello, I came from New York, have you been to United States?

No

Bye Bye

Don't worry

I'm not trying to tell my father anything

I just want to see how he looks like now

I have you and mum, you both love me very much

It doesn't matter if I don't have a father

Actually, I'm not a good father too

and not a good grandfather

When both of you needed me most, I was not there

Grandpa and grandma are like stars, not always seen but forever there. . .

Speaking in foreign language again?

Mum always say

grandpa and grandma are like stars, not always seen but forever there

Nice...

Grandpa and grandma are like stars, not always seen but forever there. . .

It would be great if grandpa and mum reconcile on things!

Look at the images here

Look, the color of the material is different from the design sketch

Sorry

Grandpa hurt his leg but he refused to eat panadol and see doctor.

Can you please come back to tell him?

What?

Come home... dad

My drawing is lousy, trash it then!

Hao Nan, calm down

Leave me alone!

Listen to me!

Come home. . .

Your love emerges in my heart

The cold night locked down all memories

The stars are not always clear

But I can see you through my tears

If only I could

Hug you tightly in the dreams

If only I could sail through thousand miles running to you

To say, I miss you

I miss home

I miss grandpa

If only I had the courage

Put down and go home

If only I could travel through skyline to be with you

And say, I love you

Look at the stars

They are like grandpa and grandma

Not always seen, but forever there

Endless times of saying

I love you

So smelly!

As long as you're used to it

I'm going back to New York, will you miss me?

I know you won't visit me in New York

but it's okay, we can still chat online

We can use the emoticons

Means. . .

Means use symbols to replace words

It's hard to explain, I'll show you, it's easy

Take your phone out

You press this

Press this one if you're feeling happy

It will appear

See

To send, press this

This is easy, don't need to type

Wrong button

You should press it, not slide it

I see

You've pressed wrongly!

Why are you so slow?

Look, select, then send

How come it dissappeared?

You pressed wrongly again

How could you learn so slow?

What if something happened to you,
if you fall, or when you're sick. . .

Bao is clumsy and slow, he can't help you

and you don't know how to call a taxi

Cannot reach me in time

I know you're afraid of injection

Grandpa. . .

Grandpa. . .

I want to accompany you

But if I leave mum alone, I'll miss her too

Why not you live with us, grandpa

Grandpa, I will miss you

There's a cycling path here

I don't have to worry when you're cycling alone

Bao and the rest can always come to accompany you

Like it here?

Nice!

Grandpa like it too

If we are not living here, can we cycle too?

Then let's live here, okay?

0kay!

Faster, mum is coming home

Stop licking your lips, the lipstick is almost gone

Don't make too much of a fuss

I'm not used to it

My lips are sticky

and the powder on my face, so dry, it's uncomfortable

Okay, I am ready

Whatever it takes. . . let's do it!

Actually. . .

Actually I want to say. . .

Actually I want to say. . .

You've said the same line for more than 10 times. . .

Actually what do you want to say?

Just say it!

In fact, I want to tell you. . .

Look at the camera. . .
I did not study much

Here

Actually I want to say, I did not study much

Actually. . .

You have repeated ''actually'' again and again

In the end, you didn't say anything else. . .

How is it?

How come the way you said it as if like you're comitting suicide?

Forget about it, I'm not recording it anymore!

Let's do it. . . sorry, it's my fault. . .

I'll commit suicide if I don't get to eat my burger meal

Sit down, sit down

Okay!

Action!

Actually. . .

What happened?

Finally you get to eat, tears of joy?

My turn! Let me play!

No, I'm not giving it to you

Mum, I want to play fireworks with them

Don't disturb me

You can only join them later

Stop selfie, come over to help

Isn't Ivy helping you?

Sarah is here

Sarah, you look beautiful today!

So red! Not nice

Of course red color is good!

Red color is good, brings luck and prosperous!

Excuse me

Stop taking photos grandpa!

So beautiful!

Grandpa, this is for you

Good girl, you eat more too

People in United States don't get to eat hotpot, right?

It is delicious!

Mum will love it if she's here

Your mother's boss is ridiculous!

It's Chinese New Year Eve but she still has to work

Your mum obeyed her boss too much

Master Lin, you should be happy!

The pay will double up since she works during festive season

Exactly!

Earthquake during Chinese New Year?

Where?

Chongqing

China Szechuan, Chongqing

Szechuan Chongqing?

Isn't there where Sophia is working?

Are you sure, Ming?

Okay, let's find out

Read clearly!

No mention in the news, maybe not serious

Don't worry too much

It could be fake since people
like to play pranks online

The news did not report it too

Hurry, call your mum!

Give me the number, I'll help you to call

I'll look for my relatives in China

Hope they can help to contact her

What happened?

Cannot get through?

How come all of it blurred out?

No

I must go to Chongqing to look for her. Help me to buy air ticket!

Master Lin, you need visa to go to China, it can't be done instantly

The last time you went abroad was United States and it was 12 years ago

Your passport would have expired

Did you renew your passport?

And it's public holiday now, government sectors are closed

What's wrong with me?

Mum, where are you? We are worried about you!

I should have stayed in contact with the relatives in China

When something happened, I can't do anything, even my passport is expired!

Why did I only leave her a message when I've learnt how to use the mobile phone?

I should call her and ask her to come back before New Year Eve

then she would have avoided the earthquake!

I'm a true fool!

Hello! We've arrived

Thank you, Happy Chinese New Year

Actually, I did not study much

Can't speak well

Always hurting you. . . but I hope this time I will not. . .

I'm not here anymore,
what should I tell you. . .

I've settled my funeral stuff

Most importantly I get to be with your mother

If you're too busy, don't come back to handle it

and need not bring Shi Jia too

The money that I prepared for your studies and my Employee Provision Fund

I've used them to buy a house

and together with this old house, I've put under your name

The new house is my present to Shi Jia

All the info and agreements are in the left drawer of your room

The most important thing to a woman is a cosy home

Somewhere you feel contented and belong together

If there's a chance

I hope you can meet a good man

Let him take care of you and Shi Jia

As long as you like him, I wont disagree this time

Sophia

If there is next life. . .

I hope you can promise to give me a chance

to be your father again. Can you?

I promise you that I'll give you all the joy and harmony

Please...

Sophia, thank you for letting Shi Jia accompany me

She is obedient and understanding, like you.

This is my blessing

People say. . . it's fate to be family

God put us together, and we put effort to make the relationship last

I hope we appreciate and treasure it, be happy

No matter where we are, your mother and I will bless you both forever

Please forgive me. . .

Forgive me, please...

I. . . love you and Sarah. . .

forever and ever

Grandpa, it is Mum! Mum!

Mum! Mum!

Sarah

Good to see you home. . .

as long as you're safe

as long as you're safe

Let me do it

I'm only back for a week and there are so much to pack

Remember to put the dried shrimps and mushrooms in the refrigerator

I'll send you more later

Sit down

What is this

The next time you come back

you don't have to squeeze in this small room with Shi Jia anymore

The environment is good

I brought her there, she loves it

and she is happy that she can cycle and swim everyday

Dad, she is just a kid, don't take her words seriously

We don't mind staying here

and you should spend the money for yourself

Go for vacation, eat well

And buy the things that you like

You are very thoughtful

Actually it doesn't matter where one lives

as long as it feels like home

Take this as a small deed from dad

For Shi Jia's dowry in future

Take it, take it

Thank you dad

Sophia, you taught your daughter well

Dad, you taught me well too

Sorry

Sorry

I'm sorry

This Ipod is for you

Thank you, Sarah

Keep it up!

This is for you. You
will look good in dresses

I will miss you very much

I will miss you too

Don't slop and gush and be sentimental

We've got 'Face Time' now, can keep in touch everyday

No. . . it's awkward

So, do you want this?

Bye bye

Sarah!

When will you be back?

Sarah

The sense of rain leads the way home

The road is familiar as my footprints after you are still visible

Old photos restored memories that just like yesterday

Your hug is like the warmth of an old big tree

Walk carefully in the rain, and I always remember what you have said

Nothing can swept away words that already kept in the heart

Don't worry, there is road after rain

Never forget those time we used to admire the sunset

You hold me walk through fog

And taught me hope is at the end of a dark path

The vision of years is clearer after tears

It is a blessing to miss someone through happy tears

Time returns to the same afternoon when I left home

The leafs are dancing in the sky when you see me off

Walk carefully in the rain, and I always remember what you have said

Nothing can swept away words that already kept in the heart

Don't worry, there is road after rain

Never forget those time we used to admire the sunset

You hold me walk through fog

And taught me hope is at the end of a dark path

Mum, I am happy to go home with you

Dad, thank you for coming home with us

Good, good

Good afternoon Sir

Would you like to have something to drink?

Yes please, I would like to have hot coffee

Sure

Excuse me

And

no sugar please, thank you

Certainly Sir

To agree on a three-point law

Understand

I want to pee

Be careful

but it's heavy

Give more strength!

Gently insert tip into rectum

Squeeze bulb to expell liquid

I don't understand

Why do you only tell your daughter that you love her

after you died

Say it when you want to

She is just a phone away and can do it anytime

Master, can Sarah stay?

I thought so too

but she has to, she needs to go to school

Why are you asking this question suddenly?

Nothing, nothing. . .

Don't tell me you like Shi Jia?!

You're so young!

Don't you dare think about this!

I warned you! Never ever
do anything unnecessarily!

If you want to go after her, you got to pass my barrier first!
