That Girl in Pinafore Page #6

---

Not me.

Wake up, May.

Music has got no future in Singapore.

I want you to stop hanging out with

that bunch of idiots!

Don't insult my friends.

You mean your boyfriend?

Did you sleep with him?

No!

Don't lie to me.

Answer me!

So what if I did?

May.

Are you alright?

I'm annoyed...

Why do they treat me like this?

Why is my mom like an a**hole?

Why is James like an as$7

You never told me the bus

numbers to your home?

I got lost

Hey crazy b*tch. Stop screaming.

I want to sleep. It's late.

You'd like to vent your anger?

I'll take you to a place.

What the f***!

No one will care.

What the F%$!

Go to hell!

Where have you been? I've

been paging you all night!

Give me your bag.

- What are you trying to do"!

Give it to me!

You can't do this to me! - Stop it!

I've had enough of your nonsense!

You can't do this to me.

What are you trying to do? Mommy!

Mommy, you can't lock me up!

Open the door! Open the door now!

You are going to the US next week.

You're not leaving this house before that.

Understand?

Mommy please.

Mommy, please let me out.

I'm so sorry.

Let me out, Mommy.

I was wrong. I am so sorry.

Ever since the tea dance

we haven't seen May at all.

We can't reach her at all.

Why are you always on

the phone these nights?

You've chalked up the

telephone bills you know?

Study harder, so it's easier to get a job.

All those musicians, they come

to eat my Fried Kuay Tiao too!

Liang Wen Fu, Eric Moo

(Singapore musicians)

Stop bullshitting, I've

never seen them come.

Son, come over here.

Your dad at your age, is just the same.

Caogen listen up.

Hormones off the charts. Very horny.

Why are you holding a chewing gum?

Where can you find chewing

gum in Singapore?

You better learn how to use this!

You'd better not get sick from outside!

I'll kick you out of the house!

No STD (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)!

Understood?

I've never even seen this before.

Don't forget to use it!

Son.

Is your Chinese tuition

teacher a Malay girl?

Yup. Her Chinese is very good!

Why did you ask"!

Is she our driver's daughter?

She's smart, isn't she?

A Malay, who can speak Chinese.

And I heard she is pretty too.

You think so too?

She's very smart.

Pa, you'll like her.

Are you going out with her?

No... Yes...

We've just gone out a few times.

Kids your age

think it is cool to have a girlfriend.

But why this girl?

What's wrong with her?

Your background...

her background.

It's not so straightforward, son.

Is it because

her father is our driver?

And they are Malay"!

Things are not so simple!

You a re just racist.

Hey! Watch your words!

Let me ask you!

Can you speak Malay?

What do you know about her religion?

If you go all the way and marry her

you'll need to be circumcised?

Mommy has bought your

favorite roast pork rice.

I'm vegetarian today!

May wanted me to come and see you.

She wants me to tell you

to stop calling her.

She wants you to forget about her.

Because she doesn't believe in

long distance relationships.

I don't believe you.

Fine.

But can I ask you a question?

You know she is going to the

States for her studies.

And she's going to have

a very bright future.

Can you promise her that sort of a future?

If you really really love my daughter

You will let her go.

I don't want to sell Char Kuay Tiao!

I don't want to sell owers!

I want to have a choice!

I don't want to be looked down upon!

I'll shoot you all!

Hi!

Who's calling?

Hi, my name is Jiaming.

Jiaming, it is so late now.

Staying up to study?

I'm not in school anymore.

Just can't sleep.

Who would you like to

dedicate the next song to"!

To my girlfriend.

And her name is"!

May.

Do you have any messages?

No matter where she goes...

I wish for her to be happy always.

So your girlfriend's leaving?

She's going overseas for studies.

She can still come back, right?

How do I put this?

I think we've broken up.

You think?

Don't you know if you have?

She got her mom to speak to me

and told me to stop looking for her.

Sounds odd, but that's how it happened.

She should have the courage

to tell you in person.

At least a final good bye.

Maybe it is harder to do it in person.

Maybe it'd be too awkward.

The next song is going out

to Jiaming and May...

and I wish all couples in

the world happy forever

May!

I don't want to go.

'I will see you at the airport'

Going overseas for studies is good for you.

But I will wait for you to return.

What time is the ight?

Flight's at 8. But I have

to be at the airport at 6.

Then we don't have much time.

Hello? Xiaopang?

Camera!

Come, let's go!

Nobody will care.

Where are we going?

I don't know!

Where do you want to go"!

I don't know either!

'JM LOVES COCONUTS'

Stars!

It's beautiful!

Please watch the road.

I'm sorry.

Jiaming, I'll help you with that.

Remember to write.

Uncle Chew will wait for

you at the airport.

I'll join you as soon as I can.

Take care of yourself.

This is the last time

I'll ever listen to you.

Go find her.

Jiaming.

Promise me.

Go back to school, and study hard.

Don't let anyone look down on you.

You can do it.

I can do it!

After I returned to Singapore

we kept in touch mostly by writing.

Phone calls were expensive.

So I am very happy whenever

I get to hear her voice.

Coming back to Singapore? When?

In a couple of months

Why so sudden?

I've a surprise for you.

What surprise?

If I told you, it wouldn't

be a surprise anymore.

I never knew that'd be the last time

I'd ever hear her voice.

'JM LOVES MAY'

Life is just like the movies

Many things are often unpredictable

There are good people and nasty ones

And not everything is always fair.

Losers! This is my place now.

It's time for you guys to get lost!

What is this crappy place? Cost me a bomb!

Nothing lasts forever.

All good things must also come to an end.

Even the old man who used

to drink at our place

stopped coming one day.

As time goes by,

we got together less.

Maybe we all got busy with our own lives

Maybe we all matured

Or maybe it is just the price

you pay for growing up.

Who's that sissy?

Who's that crazy b*tch?

COE is crazy expensive now.

Who buys new cars these days?

Used cars are the best!

This is my business card.

Insurance.

Property.

Buffet catering.

Contractor.

Pet grooming.

And I went back to school.

And got a degree in English Literature.

Today I teach at a prestigious college.

You can only see things

clearly with your heart

What is essential is invisible to the eye.

Like I said, life is like the movies

Many things are often unpredictable.

May is awake.

Dear, go back to sleep.

I'll take care of it.

Hello dear...

Come, Daddy will carry you.

Auntie. - Hey, Jiaming how are you?

Auntie. - Hey, Jiaming how are you?

I am good. How about you?

Not bad, not bad.

How about Caogen?

I haven't seen him in a while.

He's doing fine.

I'm buying the same thing.

You buy the same thing every year.

I just don't understand.
