The Journey Page #3

old classmates for so long.

How are you going to

send them the invitations?

That's why I'm meeting

the class monitor tomorrow.

He surely has all their contacts.

Great.

Penang is well-known for its prayers

to God of Heaven on the 8th day of CNY.

A lot of visitors during

this period of time.

Come again after Chinese New Year.

I'll show you around.

So whipping the car just now.

Are you like a street performer?

No no no, I "working god".

You work for god.

Yes, yes, yes.

Ok.

So stamp on my back what does it do?

Chop.

Oh chop ya.

This one chop.

Good you know?

Chinese people said for safe.

Tomorrow I make you one, for you.

I "pin" your motor for you.

"Pin" is whip.

What does it do?

God give power.

Very very good luck.

Chinese god have very big power.

Your boss.

Ya, number one number one.

I married many years but no baby you know.

Last year I pray the "sky gong kau kau"

(pray hard to the God of Heaven).

Wah, my wife "dua bat doh" (pregnant).

Pregnant?

Today I buy...

...The Pig

Yes, say for thank you.

It's very expensive.

But for my baby, for my wife...

...it's all ok.

So, what makes you want to be a father?

Baby good.

Chinese people said, people

feed me, me feed people.

One day your son call you "papa".

You'll feel very "syiok"

(awesome). You know?

Ok.

Come, for "papas".

Cheers.

Cheers.

Hi.

This is the blessing

thread from Rambo (Fatty).

He gave it to me when he whipped the bike.

It's for safety and for good luck.

So I want you to keep it.

Take it.

It's for good luck. It's good.

All rise, bow.

Thank you teacher.

Fatimah, you would be the snake.

Snake, snake!

I don't want to be a snake!

I want to be a cat!

Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake,

horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, pig.

I'm better, I can read

it out in backwards order.

Pig, dog, rooster, monkey, goat, horse,

snake, dragon, rabbit, tiger, ox, rat.

Am I smart?

Mr Black Rooster, since you're so smart.

Tell me what's the gender of this tree.

Can you tell?

Mr Ox, it's definitely a male.

How did you know that?

It's definitely a male, if it's a female.

It would have bloomed.

Maybe it's a shemale tree.

Shemale tree wouldn't bloom as well.

True.

I think it's a shemale tree as well.

Shemale tree.

Mr Doggie. Look at this photo.

You look so dumb.

Do you remember before we took this photo?

You climbed the shemale tree.

The photo has permanently recorded

your look with an injured arm.

Speaking of which, who can be

dumber than the class monitor?

Don't you remember?

During the class, he always shouted.

"Rise, bow".

"Thank you teacher".

What are you laughing at?

Talking about my past again?

It's all your fault Mr Ox.

Kicking my chair for no reason.

Serves you right to sleep in class.

Here, this is Uncle Ox.

Uncle Ox.

Uncle Black Rooster.

Uncle Doggie.

Granpa, why are your friends all animals?

You shouldn't be laughing,

if not your Fatimah.

We could have completed the 12 zodiac.

What Fatimah?

Are you crazy?

I'm Chinese, she is Malay.

How would I like her?

Crazy? You two were crazier.

Trying to make a hot air balloon.

Stop talking nonsense, I'm not mad.

I've been trying, I'm almost there.

Really?

You are already this old.

Yet you're still doing such useless thing.

It's not useless.

Although we are not young anymore.

But we should realise our dream from young.

Let's forget about the unhappy stuff.

Now let's stop chatting,

just go home with me.

I have something special to show you.

Mr Choo.

Thank you.

Can these plastic bags

turned into a hot air balloon?

You'll know when it takes off.

You made it all by yourself.

If one day you fly away alone.

We would not have known.

Do you know how much effort I've put in?

You would understand when I show it to you.

Headmaster Choo.

Dad.

Why are you here?

How could you leave our home

empty during Chinese New Year?

Aren't you the one who asked me to come?

It doesn't matter who's order was that

Let's have a meal together during

Chinese New Year, just enjoy it.

Come on, everyone follow me.

Gong Xi Fa Cai.

Auntie Choo, Gong Xi Fa Cai.

Long time no see.

This is the hot air balloon.

It looks just like a garbage.

Congratulations on

your daughter's wedding.

Ah Choo, come and take a look.

Bee paints really well.

Mr Ox, your daughter is a talented artist.

See how young Auntie

Choo looks in the painting.

Really, draw one for me as well.

After me.

What? My turn first.

She hasn't even painted her dad yet.

What are you fighting for?

Mr Ox gets to be painted first.

Ah Chuan, come here.

Mr Ox, come.

Look here.

Mr Ox, stop moving around.

How can she paint your

portrait if you keep moving?

Yea, smile.

You look constipated.

Mr Ox, here is the contact

details of all our old classmates.

Don't lose it.

I quit.

Sit still, why stop?

Look, Bee Yong painted my portrait so well.

What's the point?

Is this making money?

It's just like a coffin portrait.

Bah! Touch wood.

Don't say such words

during Chinese New Year.

Let the youngsters be.

Let them be? Come back

only when they feel like.

Leave whenever they want.

Married to a white man as they like.

Ah Chuan, Benji is a nice guy.

So everyone knew about him...

...except me.

I'm your dad!

Did you even treat me as your daughter?

Send me away as you like and not

letting me to bring any of my belongings.

Have you ever thought about my feelings?

Hello!

Hello!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Filling up petrol

shouldn't take you this long.

I'm leaving.

Sorry?

Mr Ox, your contact book.

Don't worry.

I'll give it to him.

Always going your own way.

Still going out in this situation.

You alright?

I'm waiting no more, let's go.

If you insist on going, you

gonna have to wear the jacket.

Decision made.

Are you feeling any warmer?

It's almost full house,

only left with one room.

Take it if you want, room 20.

Go up and go straight to the end.

The room is on your left hand side.

There are soap and towels in the room.

Thank you.

Great, it's done, thank you.

Hey handsome.

Do you want a full body massage?

No, I'm actually pretty sorted.

Because I actually just came from Thailand.

Let's go. Where they

called me "The Swedish Elbow"

Have a good night.

The check out time is tomorrow 12 noon.

Be punctual.

I'll charge 10 bucks

for every hour after that.

I'm not kidding.

Handsome, we will be here all night.

Alright, I'll keep it in mind.

Move faster. Let's go.

Coming.

Isn't there a better place? Why did

you have to find a place like this.

Number 20.

What are you doing?

Good night then.

Where did he go in the

middle of the night?

If I found out that

you're do something bad,...

...I will neuter you.

If you're doing something

that will hurt my daughter.

I would not let you go.

What?

Turn? No, just go straight.

You looking for level 13?

Please wear the visitor pass.

Oh god.

My wallet.

Mr Goat.

Mr Goat.

May I know if Low Boon Cheng lives here?

Does he live here?
