Hi, Towkay.

What is it?

There's a hole here

and it's torn here.

Can you mend it for me?

Thanks.

Towkay, my mom wants me to buy rice.

Tell your dad to pay me some money.

Don't treat my store as a charity.

My dad asks if you can help him out.

He'll pay you in a few days.

At least pay a little, if not, forget it.

Towkay, if you don't give us any rice,

we won't have anything to eat.

Hey, do I owe you a living?

What does your plight have to do with me?

Okay. Okay.

You can take two cans of rice.

One can.

Half a can! Half a can!

Not that sack. That's Grade A rice.

The sack next to it!

I said half a can.

Half a can! Half a can!

Don't think I can't see what you are up to!

Towkay,

do you have unwanted goods?

It's at the same place. Take them yourself.

All these?

Thank you.

Okay.

Huh?

We only eat soy sauce with rice.

Sigh...

Thanks Towkay.

Forget it! Forget it!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Are you hurt?

You are so naughty!

What were you doing?

My sister's shoes,

I left them here.

Now, they're gone.

Are you implying I stole them?

No! No!

No? Things don't disappear from my store.

So what were you implying?

I... But...

I really left the shoes here.

You are still at it?

Your dad owes me money yet

I'm still giving you supplies.

How can you say such things?

Here!

Go home! Go home!

Why are you still here? Go home!

Okay... Go home! Go home!

Brother, are my shoes mended?

They're all done.

Can you tell they've been mended?

Looks good. Can't tell at all.

Where are they?

Do they really look good? Where are they?

I remember leaving them

at the entrance of the store.

But I don't know what happened...

They disappeared.

Disappeared?

You are lying to me, right?

I only have that pair of shoes.

I can't go to school without my shoes tomorrow.

My slippers are also broken.

Look.

Okay... Stop crying.

I'll go find your shoes now.

Kun!

Please don't tell mom.

What did you say?

I said I'm going to the toilet!

Kun! Kun!

What are you up to lately?

The quality of your goods is getting worse.

Are they?

I'm not making it up.

Don't believe me? See for yourself!

Where?

Look at the amount of goods I ordered from you.

Here are 50 bags. Look.

And over here,

what kind of dried chilli peppers are these?

Even if I sell them cheap, no one will buy!

Didn't I bring over another 5 bags last time?

Okay. Let me check!

I don't recall!

I did!

You are right. 5 bags.

What about flour? 5 bags, right?

I don't recall either!

You are right.

What about salt?

Hey! Can you ask everything at once? What else?

Oh, that's all.

Talk in instalments! Make me run back and forth!

Oh yes...

Hey...

Eh?

How did this brick move out of place?

Once it's out of place, the whole pile will fall!

Who is the naughty one?

Ouch!

Ouch!

Ouch! My leg!

Let's get rid of this stuff!

Who touched the display?

I arranged them nicely this morning.

There are other things to play with,

yet they choose to play with my goods!

So who was it?

Where is my accounts book?

Hey! Don't touch my things. I'll get it!

I looked. I can't find it.

I'm back!

How's business today?

Eh?

Why are you bleeding at the side of your mouth?

It's nothing.

There was an explosion at

McDonald's Building today.

A few people were killed!

Really?

So how's business today?

I'll cut more banana leaves tomorrow.

I asked you how's business today?

We'll have this for dinner tonight.

I have already cooked rice.

Been selling this for 3 days.

Can't sell it anymore.

Keep the rice for tomorrow.

Your mom says you were not home all day.

Were you out playing?

You are already so old.

Can you be more responsible?

Your mom is pregnant.

You don't help her at home but play instead?

You want to be caned?

That's enough.

You are pregnant.

Why are you still carrying heavy things?

Can you see she needs help?

The landlord was here again.

He says if we don't pay some rent,

he'll evict us immediately.

What is he saying?

I'm not lazy.

I am willing to do anything!

I sell red bean soup, cut banana leaves,

make Tikam,

I even collect sh*t.

What else can I do?

Not that I don't want to work,

but I really can't find a job!

Can't they understand?

They just say what comes to their mind!

Where's the other scissors? Where is it?

Seow Fang, see if it is there.

Bring it to me.

You must put things back

where you took them from.

We will have to buy new ones if we lose them.

Waste money!

Do you know we can't put food on the table?

The provision shop owner wants us to pay up.

If we don't, he will not sell us anything.

What is he saying?

These people are so typical.

When he first started his shop...

How am I going to school without my shoes?

I'm thinking. Can you not be so anxious?

Of course you are not anxious. You have shoes!

I'm anxious too. But if I show it,

dad and mom will know.

If they know, they will buy me new shoes.

Don't tell them!

Or we will be in trouble!

What are you doing?

Nothing. Nothing.

Then grab your glue and help with the Tikam!

Look at them. I wonder what the two are up to.

Why are you standing there?

Aren't you going to help?

What should I do?

Do what?

I asked brother

what should I do since I don't have any glue.

You lost it, right?

I told you not to misplace things.

No glue? Just use your brother's.

Oh yes! Share mine!

But...

But your glue can is huge!

Itll be easier and faster!

Quickly glue them on the board!

Look at her shoes... They are huge...

So huge! Ha ha ha...

Her shoes are so huge! So dirty...

Students, next month is the Village Concert Night,

and you'll be performing a dance item,

so I hope

you'll be serious about the rehearsals. Okay?

Okay!

Good! I'm going to show you a little routine.

Just dance like me and you'll be fine!

Okay, look!

Little stars. Little stars.

The sky is filled with little stars.

The sky is filled with glitter.

The sky is filled with little stars.

Doesn't that look nice?

Yes!

All you have to do is to learn that routine

and repeat it 30 times for the performance.

Isn't that easy?

Yes.

But take note of the action

for "Little Stars, Little Stars".

And the "1... 2... 3... Kick!"

That's the hardest to master.

So let's practice the kick now!

Ready!

Heads up. Chest out. Hands out.

Ready...

You are not quite there yet.

Let's do it again. Be more serious!

Okay. Ready!

Heads up. Chest out. Hands out.

Ready...

Wait a minute.

Other than Seow Fang,

the rest of you stand behind me.

Why aren't you kicking?

Ready. 1... 2... 3... Kick.

Why aren't you kicking?

One more time!

Ha... Ha... Ha...

You asked me to kick.

Is this your shoe?

You call this a shoe?

It's huge like a boat!

Why wear such big shoes to school?

I...

I wore my brother's shoes by mistake.

How can you wear someone's shoes by mistake?

You are so foolish!

Hey, hurry up! Run faster!

You should have run faster.

Do you know I'll be late?

I ran as fast as I could.

Your shoes are huge.

If I run too fast, they will slip off.
