Wo-oh wo-oh, Chao Fan, baby
Chao Fan
Chao Fan, baby
Chao Fan
- Chao Fan, baby
- You're my Chao Fan, baby
Time to eat!
Baby
Dad, eat. Mom, eat.
What kind of music is that?
d*ck!
Chao Fan, baby
d*ck!
You're my Chao Fan, baby
Stop.
Come and set a good example.
If I knew
you would be banging non-stop
I wouldn't have made you
take lessons.
I've stopped anyway.
I'm going to be a pop star.
Pop stars are all drug addicts.
Who said?
See this?
That's why they're all banned.
But that doesn't mean
that they all...
You just finish school
and then come
and help me in the office.
No thanks.
Don't be rude, eat your dinner.
And this weekend,
go and have a haircut.
You look like a drug addict.
Why so grumpy?
I hate my life.
Because you can't be Elton John?
Shut up!
Tomorrow is my first day
in this new class, okay?
I just want
to make a good impression.
A very good impression
of a four-eyed skinny cockroach!
- Get out!
- Don't oversleep, okay?
If you're not in the car on time,
I'm leaving without you.
May I remind you that the government
has banned rock concerts
and long hair like this on males.
I have noticed
an increasing number of boys
with guitars glued to their backs.
I want to emphasise
that we do not encourage the playing
of rock music in this school.
- If you get caught by the police
- Brother!
on the street
they will send you for a haircut.
St. Peter's Institution
upholds a clean image
and so in accordance with
the government's policy
we will proceed
with our monthly hair check.
Now, the Talentime for schools
is coming up.
And Saint Peter's has been selected
to host the heats and semi finals.
I do not expect to hear
any rock music entries from you.
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
- What?
- You have enough hair to sit here?
- I...
- This...
is the "got hair" zone.
And there...
is the "no hair" zone.
Hey, Sammy,
let him sit where he wants.
But that's my seat.
Good morning, class.
Good morning, teacher.
Mark de Souza.
Would you like to join us
in the front of the classroom please?
Thank you.
And you, what's your name?
Richard Lee.
Would you like to join us here?
Let's go.
Hey, come on, man.
You go home first, yeah?
I'm taking the bus today.
Are you crazy?
You want Pa to k*ll you, is it?
For taking the bus? Go home first!
Brother.
- Hey, man.
- Wait.
Thank you.
Thanks, man.
Boss.
One of that stick.
Okay, sure.
Hey, you don't smoke, right?
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
"Mathematics."
Hey, No Hair Four Eyes.
I've never seen you
take the bus before.
First time?
Where are you going?
Bukit Timah,
six and a half milestone.
Come on.
And I never know, girl
If I should stay or go
'Cause the games that you play
Keep driving me away
Don't love me for fun, girl
Hey, it's your stop.
Thanks. See you.
Yeah, see you.
Maybe.
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Bye bye!
Went out last night
Danced in a dream
Under a...
Under a sky
Like a bad taste scene
From a Hollywood...
- Mom.
- What's the matter?
Can I...
get a guitar?
You want your Pa
to get heart att*ck, is it?
Okay, all the other boys in school
are learning guitar...
No, and don't play so late.
You know, Brother
if there's something
you really want to do, right
just follow your heart
and show Mom and Dad that you can.
Okay!
Hey, why don't you join
the music club or something?
There's only the stupid school choir.
Yeah, so join it.
I rather die than join it.
You know, they only sing
stupid folk songs like...
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
Boon Huey,
you need to open your mouth.
My Bonnie lies
- Over the ocean
- Okay, much better.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me
Okay.
Now guys, I'll see
all of you next week.
Class dismissed.
Thank you, Miss Leong.
Richard, I need
to rush off to a staff meeting.
So can you lock up and
return the keys to the office for me?
- Yes, Miss Leong.
- Thank you.
Went out last night
Danced in a dream
Under a sky
Like a bad taste scene
From a Hollywood musical
Violins
sh**t me
sh**t me
Soft focus
An all-purpose dream machine
Entice me, nice me
I'm keen
- Oh yeah
- What's this?
Nothing, sir.
Was that rock music I heard?
No, sir.
I'm just locking up, sir.
Hey, Four Eyes!
Hey, come here!
Come, sit down.
So what are The Wonders
going to sing?
I'm not even sure I like that name.
We don't even have a song yet.
Song? What for?
For the Inter-School Talentime.
Wait! How about
Love Me For A Reason?
Come on now!
We need to play hard rock!
Are you crazy?
Do you want to go to jail?
Don't be such a coward.
We don't even have a keyboard player.
Yes, we do.
No Hair Four Eyes?
He's damn good, okay?
How's that?
Want to join us?
Join your hard rock group?
- The Wonders.
- No.
The Wonder Boys.
Forget it.
- It's not that bad.
- No, guys.
Let's just stick
to what we know best.
Everybody loves Deep Purple, man.
Right, Richard?
Well, I...
The girls would like it.
Let's do it one more time.
One, two!
- Three, four!
- In the morning
When the moon is at its rest
You will find me
At the time I love the best
Watching rainbows
Play on sunlight
Pools of water
Ice from cold nights
In the morning
'Tis the morning of my life
In the morning of my life
In the morning of my life
I told you
we shouldn't play hard rock.
Hey, Richard, nice arrangements, man.
You made it sound good.
Nah.
I need to smoke.
Hey wait, I need to learn
the chords for the next part.
Come.
You know, I wish
I could play the guitar.
Come, I'll teach you.
- Easy...
- Serious?
This is the G.
C.
Try.
Okay.
Was it...
Here.
Last one. There you go.
- Okay.
- Press hard.
Like a claw.
- All right.
- And...
Here and here, press harder.
- Nice.
- My fingers hurt.
You'll get used to it.
How do you...
- Come.
- Okay.
Like that, it's kind of like a C.
Okay.
Watching rainbows
Play on sunlight
Pools of water
Ice from cold nights
In the morning
'Tis the morning of my life
In the morning of my life
You have a sister, right?
Why?
She's in Secondary Three, right?
Yeah. Why?
Intro her and her friends.
Well, my birthday is coming up...
I could ask her to invite
her friends. We could have a...
Party!
Brother!
Brother.
Everyone, this is
the birthday boy, d*ck.
Richard. My name is Richard.
d*ck is short for Richard.
- You know, like Dicky and Ricky...
- And this...
is Louise.
Happy birthday, d*ck.
Richard. Thanks.
Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
- This is for you.
Wait. I got you a present.
Hey, your sister's quite cute.
Intro can?
Fine.
Pat!
Hi, I'm Mark. Want to dance?
Okay.
I love this song.
You know this song?
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
Shall we?
So I heard you're taking part
in the Talentime?
Yeah.
Are you coming?
Of course, to support
my best friend's brother.
Who?
You.
I see.
You want to... Shall we...
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Why so dark?
What kind of party is this?
Why don't you go upstairs first?
Hey, I bought noodles
for your birthday.
But not enough for everybody.
You told me a few people only?
Hey! Is someone smoking?
Okay, Mom. Okay.
Why don't I take the noodles
and put them in the fridge, okay?
Now you go up and rest first.
- Come.
- Why?
Just go.
Don't play the music so loud.
Okay!
And no smoking!
Okay! Good night, Mom. Good night.
Sorry.
Okay, guys. Break time is over.
Five more.
What's this?
Just something I'm working on.
You write songs?
Yeah, it's how
I put my thoughts down, so...
Can I hear it?
Okay, just a bit.
There were five tables taken
as I stepped inside
It seemed to me
as if the action had already d*ed
The bartender was sleepy
And the waitress was eager to please
And I got my order
as the only couple got up to leave
Guys! You should listen to this song!
It's so cold down here
in this hot, hot room
Where no one makes a move
Guess I made mine too soon
Where are you,
maybe friend for tonight?
Where are you
Maybe friend for life?
If you find me before I find you,
don't pass me by
Maybe friend
That's beautiful!
Guys, you should sing Richard's song!
Why? No one wants to hear
songs they don't know.
Yeah...
Because your songs are...
Reflective! Right, Pat?
Well, I don't really know,
that's all I hear day in day out.
All his sad and
lonely childhood songs.
And one fast one.
Chao Fan
- Chao Fan, baby
- What kind of song is that?
- Chao Fan
- A stupid one?
Chao Fan, baby
Chao Fan, baby
Chao Fan
Chao...
Brother.
Brother, come on.
I'm sorry, okay?
Your song is very...
It's stupid?
Sammy was right.
At least you write songs.
What's the use?
People only want to hear
famous songs, right?
And since when have you cared
about what other people think?
Just follow your heart. Remember?
Come on.
Come on!
The Wonder Boys need their piano man!
Okay!
And you're really heavy now.
Did you put on weight?
And now, The Wonder Boys!
In the morning
When the moon is at its rest
You will find me
And in the semi-finals are
The Wonder Boys!
The finals!
So, what are we going to sing next?
How about In The Morning again?
If we want to win,
we got to try harder than that.
Right, Professor?
I think we should sing our own song.
Oh my god, you want to sing
about char kway teow again?
- Hey, you!
- The police!
- Run!
- We haven't done anything!
Don't let the police
catch our long hair, run!
This way.
Platform shoes.
We'll wait here for a while then.
This is so dangerous!
Danger follows me everywhere.
Bullshit.
Think that's dangerous, you wouldn't
survive half a day in my house.
Why?
Wait till you meet my dad.
Your dad is dangerous?
What would he do to me?
Throw you out the window.
Chase you around the house
with a belt.
And throw anything
he can find at you.
Why would he do that?
Most of the time
he's just too drunk to think.
Your mom?
She's not around anymore.
Don't tell anyone
what I told you, okay?
Of course.
I wouldn't want my dad
to b*at me up too.
It's not a joke.
I trust you not to tell anyone.
Thank you.
The coast is clear.
You sure?
Let's get out of here.
Why don't you go and
concentrate more on your studies?
Your "O" Levels are coming soon.
And you're still hanging around
with those hooligans.
We are in the Talentime finals.
I don't care what you're in.
Just make sure you pass your exams.
- You hear me?
- Yes, I heard you.
Why do you always disobey him?
Are you trying
to drive him to his grave?
Then why doesn't he listen to me?
He is your dad!
So what? He doesn't understand me.
No one understands you.
Anyway, his business
is not doing well.
And all our expenses have gone up.
So can you please...
Can you please try harder?
Hello?
Hey.
Why are you calling me so late?
My family is sleeping already.
Yeah, my dad too.
I'm bored.
Can't sleep?
And I feel like talking.
Okay.
What are you doing?
I'm...
writing a song.
Why do you write songs anyway?
Because I can.
You arrogant bastard.
You know, someday,
I hope we can sing my songs.
You're such a dreamer.
No, I'm serious.
You should hear this one I'm writing.
Sure, okay, one day.
Hey, Mark.
I...
I've kind of written a song for you.
You wrote a song for me?
Hey, my dad just woke up.
Got to go, bye.
Hello, Mark?
Talking it over just the two of us
Working together day to day
Together
Where the hell is Sammy, man?
Don't worry, he's just trying
to beautify himself.
We're next, right, Richard?
She's so good.
So much of life ahead
Here's our superstar.
Man.
I can't go out looking like this!
Come on.
You look fine.
Thank you very much, Candy.
And now, please welcome
our final contestants
The Wonder Boys, with In The Morning.
Let's win this.
In the morn...
We shouldn't have sung
In The Morning again.
But at least you guys came in second.
It's not first.
Maybe we should have sung
one of my songs.
Please.
You've never even heard it.
Look, I don't care,
we don't care, okay?
Anyway it's over now.
Hey.
What's over?
Us. The Wonder Boys.
Why?
Yeah, you guys are good,
you can still go on.
- Not good enough.
- 'Cause all we ever did
was sing covers.
Here we go.
At least we could have tried...
To sing one of your precious songs?
Yes, I get it, but we didn't.
- No, what I mean is...
- I know what you mean.
Maybe you should go do
your own thing with your songs.
I'm just trying to speak my mind.
Brother, don't be such a jerk.
Like I said, it is over.
I'll see you around.
Mark, wait!
Come, let's go.
We're not good enough
to sit with this genius.
Why are you like this?
Like what?
Talented?
Your exam starts this week?
Have you been studying?
No.
You smell like you just came back
from the temple.
What temple? It's his cigarettes.
What? Smoking?
Do you want to die?
Relax, everyone is doing it.
- It's no big deal.
- Stop smoking
and study hard for your exam.
Study for what?
So I get to be stuck
in that boring office just like you?
Forget it.
What do you mean "forget it"?
How are you going to survive
if you don't pass?
Don't worry.
I won't die.
If I said, from the heart
I feel lost, when apart
From my brother, my superman
What would you say?
Hello?
Who is this?
Is Mark there?
He's not in. Who the hell are you?
I'm his friend.
Do you know what time is it? Friend?
Sorry.
Don't call him anymore.
Richard.
Hey! I was trying to...
What did you write to me?
What did you write in the letter?
Why did you send it to my house?
You didn't read it?
My father opened it.
You know what he gave me?
Mark...
He said a h*m* sent me a love letter.
What else did you write?
I told you
to keep it a secret, right?
Mark, I didn't say anything...
Disgusting.
Don't you come near me again.
And your paper starts now.
Hey, you got a lighter?
Yeah.
Just walked out from the exam?
Yeah.
Me too.
Why?
Just because...
Anyway, I didn't study.
You?
Well, I guess the...
the things I want to do in life
don't need exams, so...
So both of us, we're going
to be roadsweepers, yeah?
Yeah.
I want to be a musician, so...
You?
Don't know.
Roadsweeper?
So why haven't you asked me out?
I don't know you.
Hi, I'm Linda.
Pleasure to meet you, Linda.
I'm d*ck.
So, do you want to go out with me?
Really? Now?
Yeah. Let's go.
Nice.
Where do you stay?
Nowhere?
You have to stay somewhere.
That's a really big garden.
How big is the land?
I don't know, I think my mom is...
Look at this!
Is this your diary?
That is my songbook.
I write songs, so...
- Yeah.
- Play something.
No, they're not very good, so...
Then it's better
not to play anything.
You know.
when I make it one day
you're going to regret saying that.
So, what's upstairs?
- I...
- Show me your room.
Why are you thinking of someone else
when you kiss me?
What?
I'm not...
It's fine. I'm doing the same too.
Who?
Someone.
Tell me.
Give me a love-bite,
and I'll tell you.
d*ck!
d*ck!
- What?
- It's time to eat.
- I'm not hungry.
- Huh?
What do you mean you're not hungry?
I'm not hungry, Mom, okay?
But, at least eat something, right?
Hello, auntie.
Hello.
Are you going to introduce
your friend to me?
Hi, I'm Linda.
Hi, Linda.
Come and join us for dinner.
No need We're going out, yeah?
Huh? Where?
We're going out, Mom.
- Where are you going for dinner?
- Goodbye, Mom!
Hey! Don't lock the door!
- We're going out now?
- Now we are.
So, where are we heading to?
Any ideas?
Follow me.
I'm Lucy.
Let's get you a drink.
I love your look.
Is this the latest fashion, or...
I'm actually still in school.
He's going to be a pop star.
Musician.
So what kind of music do you play?
What, you don't know?
Who are you, d*ck?
Actually, just a songwriter.
You don't sound very sure.
He's still searching for himself.
Well, drink up and I guarantee you
you will find yourself.
Or someone else.
- Santé.
- Cheers.
d*ck.
Where have you been?
d*ck!
Party.
Whose party?
I'm tired, Mom.
I can smell alcohol.
Good night, Mom!
What "good night"?
Do you know what time it is?
Who is that girl?
My girlfriend.
How can she be your girlfriend?
You just met her!
I met her long ago.
- Don't bluff.
- Go away!
I don't want you to see her anymore.
Oh, how I tried
to let the small things by
To let the sad things die
Oh, if I had my way I'd leave tonight
No last words, no goodbye
Stay with me
Stay alive
Stay with me
And we'll cry and laugh at nothing
Stay, stay with me
That was beautiful.
You are beautiful.
Now can you please
write a song for me?
- Time to go.
- What?
We're meeting friends. See you!
But we want another song.
Linda!
Linda!
Hey, look who's here.
He's with that girl?
Guys, want to dance?
Yeah, let's go.
Okay.
Hey, Brother!
What are you doing here?
Shouldn't you be at home
doing your homework?
I do do my homework.
Not that you would know, right?
We live in the same house,
but I hardly see him.
Who are you here with?
Your old friends, the usual g*ng.
The Wonder Boys, huh?
Excuse me.
Louise and I have joined the group.
And we're now called The Wonders.
Really? You're not kidding?
No, I'm not.
And you're wondering
how amazing we sound?
You can check us out on Talentime.
On TV.
See you around.
Wow.
What did you do to her?
She hates you.
No, she doesn't.
And I never know, girl
If I should stay or go
'Cause the games that you play
Keep driving me away
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
What are you thinking?
Nothing.
Do you want to run away with me?
Where to?
Far away.
We could go to Tibet.
Or the North Pole.
Or we could go to London,
I could look up Elton John.
Can you get hold of some money?
What for?
If you run away, we need money.
What?
Your mom?
She has some nice jewellery.
Are you serious?
You should have seen your face.
Darling, for a second I thought
you really wanted to run away.
Don't you?
No. Of course not.
Come here.
d*ck!
Come here.
What?
I said come here!
Auntie, bring them upstairs.
Go.
Yes, what is it?
Don't pretend that you don't know.
Know what?
That girl just called.
What girl?
Your so-called girlfriend!
She said she's...
pregnant.
- She's lying.
- I don't know.
- Your father's gone out to find out!
- No. I will talk to her, okay?
It's all a misunderstanding.
And she wants us to pay for her...
- I will talk to her, Mom! Okay?
- No, you stay here!
Let your father deal with it.
I said wait!
There's one more thing.
Congratulations!
You failed your "O" Levels!
I don't care, okay?
I have other plans.
What other plans?
You think you know so much?
I think your father is right.
When he said that you're useless
I kept telling him
to give you another chance!
But still you disappoint him,
disappoint me
disappoint every one of us!
I really don't know
what to do with you anymore.
Hey! What are you doing here?
Is Linda here?
- No...
- Okay, one second, sorry.
Linda!
How was it? What did she say?
We won't be hearing from her again.
Brother!
What's going on?
We decided to throw you a party
to cheer you up.
Come!
I invited the guys.
What?
They want to see you.
- Why?
- They're concerned.
- Okay, forget it.
- Son!
It's your birthday.
Okay, I don't care if it's Christmas,
okay? I don't want anything...
I made your favourite Sugee cake!
Okay, no, I'm going out.
Brother, don't be like that!
Okay, what is it
you can't understand?
Okay, I don't want any party!
Why not? We've celebrated
every year since you were born.
There is nothing to celebrate, Mom.
Of course! It's for good luck,
it's good for you!
- Your friends are all expecting you.
- Okay, no
I don't have any luck, okay?
I don't want any party!
Brother, wait!
What is the matter with you?
Why are you being like this?
Okay. Why can't she understand, okay?
I don't want a party!
In fact, I wish I wasn't even born!
I don't care how you feel!
You don't have to hurt Mom.
You don't have to be so selfish.
Brother, wait!
It's okay. We don't need
to have a party, okay?
There's nothing to celebrate.
We just wanted
to do something for you.
Okay, I don't deserve it.
Brother.
I don't know what happen
between you and Linda.
But she's gone now,
everything can go back to normal.
Why don't you start
writing songs again?
What's the point?
Because...
that's who you are.
My brother...
he loves music.
And I love that he loves music.
Don't ever forget that.
I know you're very sad
right now, Brother, but
it's time to move on
from what happened.
Think about what you have.
And follow your heart, remember?
I really ruined everything...
as usual.
Yeah, you did.
Let's go apologise to Mom.
Okay.
Just give me a quick second.
I'll tell the guys not to come.
Was Mark going to come?
Even Mark.
But we'll go out instead.
You join us, okay?
If you want to.
I love you, Brother.
We all do.
Okay.
What's happening?
There has been...
an accident.
Who?
Your sister.
Pat?
No.
Pat!
Pat!
Pat!
Pat?
Pat!
And now, I'd like to play you
one of my own songs.
This is Stay With Me.
Richard. Play that song.
Perhaps something
we are more familiar with.
This is Tie A Yellow Ribbon.
Thank you.
And now, for my last song,
I'd like to play you
a little something that I wrote
for a special someone.
This is called Follow Your Heart.
And I hope you enjoy it.
When will you go away?
I knew you would someday
I've known it all along
I've just been waiting for you to say
This is your time to grow
So don't say a word, just go
The fact that I'm part of you
Is all that I ever need to know
Follow your heart
I'll understand
It's something that you must do
Look for your dream
and then when you return
I will be here waiting for you
Waiting for you
Thank you for coming
to Lunchtime Melodies.
So, you're d*ck Lee now.
Hello, stranger.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
It's good to know
that you're still writing.
I have stopped for a while.
Anyway, are you doing anything
with your music now?
Other than playing at schools
where no one's interested.
Not really.
But I am sending in demos
to record companies.
Great! Any luck?
No, it's the same old story.
The public's not interested
in local compositions...
Anyway, it's good to see you.
Yeah, same...
Okay...
I know I was a jerk.
No, it's not that.
It's just that you remind me of Pat.
And I remember someone said he could
win the Talentime all by himself.
And that was the jerk speaking.
But I really believe you can do it.
I don't.
Yeah, I saw this today.
Look!
No, I'm done with Talentimes.
But you haven't tried it
on your own before.
I don't know.
Come on, give it a sh*t.
It's time to play your own music.
Hello?
Hello!
We're too late.
Are you here for the audition?
Yes!
I was just about to close up.
Okay, come up on stage.
Go!
Can I play the piano?
You play?
Perfect.
Hello.
My name is d*ck Lee.
And this is a song that I wrote
called Life Story.
Wake up she said
Look, it's a beautiful day
Downstairs to the kitchen door
And then away
Into the light
Morning feeling lives on
Come the clouds and moon
And morning is gone
Born today, some years ago
And had a happy childhood
But I fell in love and out
Nothing's changed
Lived a life of nothing much
But then, how much can one expect
But there you are, my life has passed
But I'm the same
Just my life story
Minute by second
A story that goes on forever
With each breath that I take
This is my life story
Uneventful-lest story
That ages with each year
and birthday cake
Oh my god!
You're Vernon Cornelius!
- Yeah, hi!
- I'm such a big fan of The Quests!
Good to know.
Hey d*ck, how old are you?
Seventeen.
And you say you wrote the song.
Yes.
By yourself?
I am not gonna put you on Talentime.
I guess you prefer covers.
No. Actually, on the contrary,
I think you're quite special.
Even if I put you on the Talentime,
you might not win.
Even if you do win, you're just
gonna go join another contest.
So, what I'm going to do is...
I am going to make you
a guest artist.
Thank you.
But why?
See, this way,
you get to come out every week.
From the heats,
to the quarter-finals
to the semi-finals, the finals.
And everyone will get to hear you
and your songs.
Okay.
Okay. Thank you.
And whilst we tabulate the scores
here's talented singer-songwriter
singing his own composition
d*ck Lee!
There were five tables taken
as I stepped inside
It seemed to me
as if the action had already d*ed
The bartender was sleepy
And the waitress was eager to please
And I got my order
as the only couple got up to leave
It's so cold down here
in this hot, hot room
Where no one makes a move
Guess I made mine too soon
Where are you
Maybe friend for tonight?
Where are you
Once again singing
a song he's written, here is
d*ck Lee!
If you find me before I find you
Don't pass me by
Maybe friend
Maybe friend
Maybe friend
Son.
Drink some bird's nest
so you can sing better.
Thank you.
How are the shows going?
We're coming to watch the finals.
Even Dad?
I'll talk to him.
The audience like your songs?
I don't know.
I think they're only there
to hear the results.
I'm sure they like your songs.
I like your songs!
Really?
Even this one?
Wo-oh wo-oh, Chao Fan, baby
Chao Fan, baby
You're my Chao Fan
Mommy
Actually...
it's quite cute.
It sounds very...
Local.
I like my Chao Fan anyday
Fried Rice Paradise
Nasi Goreng very nice
That's her speciality,
ninety nine varieties
Fried Rice Paradise
Shiok is how it's been described
Booked a table? Very wise
That is what I would do
If I were you
Ladies and gentlemen, d*ck Lee!
And now to announce
the winner of Ready, Steady, Folk
it is Ross Barnett from EMI Records!
Really great, great song!
I'd like to sign you to EMI.
- Ross!
- You interested?
Ross Barnett!
Ladies and gentlemen...
Fried Rice Paradise
Nasi...
What do you mean?
Sorry, no.
You are wrong!
Don't tell me about my own market.
You have no idea about your market.
You have no idea
how to run a record company.
Please get out.
You'll be receiving my resignation.
Bloody idiot.
What did he say?
Don't worry, d*ck.
We're going to record your album.
Without a record label,
how are we going to...
I'll make my own label.
No problem.
I'll record your album myself.
Mom.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, son.
Every time...
at this time of the year
I would think of Pat.
Sometimes I think
she's still in the room beside me.
I should've had the stupid party.
Then she would still be around.
It was her time.
I blame myself.
I always will.
I know I... you know...
I can never get your forgiveness...
for what happened. But I...
It's not your fault.
Dad, I'm sorry.
- I don't blame you.
- No, I'm sorry for...
for everything.
For letting you down.
Letting Mom down.
I'm not disappointed.
You are, Dad.
I should have listened to you.
I will do you proud, Dad.
Okay.
- Hello, Ross!
- Hello, Mrs Lee.
- Come on in.
- Happy birthday, d*ck.
Hey.
I thought you couldn't come.
I've got a birthday present for you.
Hey, there's no need for that.
You're going to love this one.
Wow, show me!
Why is the picture so blurry?
It's a nice picture.
Let's hear the record.
Boys! Come over here.
This is rubbish! Bloody rubbish!
This is ridiculous!
Stupid!
It's banned on airplay, right?
We can still sell the song.
Yeah, but if no one hears it,
no one would buy it.
You know what? If RTS won't play it,
Reddifusion will.
I am going to play that song
one hundred times a day.
I am going to play it right now!
Wo-oh wo-oh, Chao Fan, baby
Chao Fan, baby
You're my Chao Fan, baby
Nice, hot Chao Fan, baby, oh baby
You make me crazy
Satay is quite okay
Gado Gado's so-so, anyway
O-luak, oh yuck
Oh, what else can I say
But I like my Chao Fan, anyday
Fried Rice Paradise
Nasi Goreng very nice

Shiok is how it's been described
Booked a table? Very wise
That is what I would do
If I were you
Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place
that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down that river
which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore
This is home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home
When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
For there's comfort in the knowledge
That home's about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like that river
which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore
This is home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know
I'm home
