Happy birthday to you.. .

Hello, what are you doing?
Fresh Spicy hot pot from Taiwan! Studying?
lt is so heavy
it makes my bag smells so spicy now!
Who's that?
Lam Wai just got back from Taiwan
We have to concentrate on our studies
No calling each other
No seeing each other before the exams
no distraction, OK?
You said it
OK, on count of three, one...
two.. .
three!
Hey, how are you going to thank me?
Happy Birthday!
Did someone say he needs to study?
l will come back before midnight get the door for me
Wish Mi Happy Birthday for me
Hold on hold on.. .
thanks!
lf she comes back tell her to wait for me here
Where is Mi?
ls it raining outside?
Where is Mi?
Hello.. .
l told you not to go anywhere why don't you listen?
lt is getting late now l am not coming over
Bye-bye
Mi.. .
Happy Birthday
''Happy Birthday''
Hello.. .
$7.9 please
A pack of cigarette please
Red light! lt's the second one
Hello.. .
l'm driving at the moment.. .
please leave me a message
Mi, this is Danny
What are you doing?
There's a typhoon right now hurry up and go home
lt should be your birthday today
Happy birthday
Let me sing you a song
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to Mi.. .
Happy birthday to you!
For more than ten years
Mi and Nam would always wish
each other Happy Birthdays
Didn't matter if they were together had a fight...
in different cities or even been apart for years...
this tradition never changed
For this reason Mi becomes anxious on her birthdays
Wonder if she was afraid of growing older
or of not receiving the blessing she had been waiting for
Client for Danny, client for Danny
Mi, what's up?
When will you go out with me?
l want my hair short
The shortest the better
Short? Yes
Let's wash it first
Why didn't you say anything when you called last night?
l called because l want to hear your
''Hello.. . hello''
Your ''hello'' sounds just like Nam's
But only ''hello''
''Hello.. . hello'' like that?
lt has been 36 hours.. .
he hasn't said Happy Birthday to me
You still care?
He has been married for two years
Almost three
lt's not that l want to do anything
lt is only once a year
Maybe he forgot
He would not
l think he forgot, and forgot purposely
Boss, phone call
Hello.. . Hello.. .
OK
How do you want your hair?
Cut it short? This short?
Let's not cut it today
l knew it. You're always flip flopping
Changing your mind every few seconds
l will cut it next time.. .
when it is longer
OK, let me dry it for you
Mi was a high school friend of mine
Nam was my roommate in college
Although Mi did not go to the same university.. .
she often came to visit me
Then they knew each other
l once thought she was interested in me.. .
then l realized that l was imagining things
There are things l care about everyday
but can only say it once a year
Sorry about the delay
Seven sixes
Eight.. . Nine.. .
Ten.. . Eleven.. . Your turn again, Nam
The third.. . the third one
Twelve sixes
l don't believe you Me too
You lost, drink up!
Drink up.. .
What are you looking at? lt's your turn
lt's all Danny's songs only he is singing
yea, only Danny is singing
Let Nam sings
yea, Nam, l want to hear you sing.. .
Yes, sing.. . sing.. . sing
What do you want to sing?
Mi is asking what song you want to sing
pick one l don't think so
My singing is not good
You only need to get part of it right
l'll sing along with you Mi, pick one for him
You sing whatever Mi picks for you!
Come on, come on
Always blaming myself
lt should not be like that
Regretting for not keeping you beside me
We love each other
Why we have to be apart
ls that we are always wandering outside.. .
each other's heart
lt's fate...
that makes us feel helpless
Years has been neither good nor bad.. .
and feels like missing a person
l'm starting to know
No no no no no.. . you sing
How many times can love start over
How many people are willing to wait
When we regret and come back
Will the love.. .
still be there
How many times can love start over
How many people are worth waiting for
l think if there's a chance to study abroad.. .
after graduation don't waste the opportunity
l'm not gifted plus l didn't work hard enough
lf l don't get a scholarship l can't afford to study abroad
Don't worry l will supervise your piano practice
When you practice
l'll stand by you.. . singing
Do you mean my piano playing
is as bad as your singing?
Then there's no chance at a scholarship
Let me see your hands.. .
Not really, very good, very soft
Suitable for piano-playing
Hands that hold cigarettes just like my father's
ln the beginning everyone doubted their relationship
Because Nam is the type who could have whatever he wanted
There were always girls surrounding him
Mi was the opposite
Once she said to me jokingly.. .
that if someone was looking at them when she was with Nam.. .
she wasn't sure if they were looking at her or him
Mi's lack of confidence
had more or less to do with her upbringing
Good goal! Good goal!
Mister, that's not right The other team scored!
lt's hot
Ah.. . sorry, sorry
Let me help you first
Mi and her mother never liked me smoking
But l just can't quit that one cigarette after a meal
ls Mi like her mother?
Exactly alike, very difficult!
You have to have patience!
Granny, time to go to bed
My parents died early
left behind my sisters and me
Are they married?
My second sister is the eldest one not yet.. .
She always felt responsible...
for taking care of us...
and missed her chance
When my wife was around l couldn't even fry an egg
Hmm... it's different now
First learn how to drive a stick shift
Once you master the basics driving an automatic.. .
will be as easy as playing video games
Dad, just teach us drive.. .
no need to get all philosophical
lt's just like playing the piano
You can only play with emotion after mastering the basics
Then you will develop a special relationship with the car
OK, enough theories, any problems?
You shifted into the wrong gear
You can't just let the clutch go all of a sudden
lt's stuck?
How about we continue another day?
Or maybe we'll go over some theory
This is not working
Why not? lt's got to work
How come the seat belt in the back isn't long enough?
lt's not?
Why don't we.. .
go watching a movie tonight
Exams?
Not everyone is as hard-working as Mi
Umm, l want to see you
Grandma, which soy sauce should l add?
Got it, both!
l know l am not cut out to be an architect
l'm just going to college.. .
to satisfy my parents
Hey, not too short! OK!
Just trim it!
But it's different for Nam
His family is full of lawyers and accountants.. .
or something like that
That's why he is more hard working than me
Oh, l'm so hungry!
Nam, where are you?
Let's go to eat first, OK?
There's not even a decent restaurant near our school
So you eat from the cafeteria?
Sometimes l go home to eat
You guys at H.K .U . are better
Everyday is the same, bored as hell!
Eh, Danny is here.. .
Hi!
Why are you here?
She has been waiting for you Where did you go?
Why are you waiting for me?
Nam, Teresa went back to the dorm to pick up something for you
she'll be right back
Sit down then
Two more seats please!
What are you guys eating? Are we sharing?
l don't care, you guys decide What do you want?
We had ordered already
You should eat your lunchbox
She especially made for you and waited for a long time!
l don't really care about food
You don't have to waste time to cook for me
Where is my lunch then?
Nam
You scared me!
What did you pick up?
lt's none of your business!
Remember the pen set that you were looking for?
l got it for you
Where did you find it?
Thanks! l'll pay you back
Don't worry Thank you for your notes last time
Or.. . you can buy me a soda?
Sure! Yours?
Soda? l thought you are on a diet?
lt's not the same
Nam is buying it Teresa will drink it for sure
Excuse us, we'll eat first
Hey, Nam, Do you want to try ltaly?
l sure do
l know you like Renzo Piano
lt's my dream to work for him
What if l tell you that l have his address?
Do you really? Yes
We have to write to him
Yea, let's do it OK
Call me when you get home
You should concentrate and practice more for Vienna
Don't worry about me
l'm not a kid anymore
Not everyone has the chance to study overseas.. .
and not everyone wants to go
Thanks for the lunchbox!
You already ate, you can throw it away
l threw it in my stomach
Why force yourself?
Let's all go rest l have an exam tomorrow
Oh
l was suppose to practice with you
lt's OK, don't worry
We both are busy
Mi Ng! Emergency call from home
When did you find her missing?
About an hour ago
Here is her picture
How tall is the missing person? 5'2''
What clothes she had on before she disappeared?
l think it's gray Gray
Why don't you take a nap?
What would l do if they can't find grandma?
Don't think too much
lt's a 50 50 chance if you think positively...
then there will be a 51% chance, right?
Your grandma won't walk very far
l really don't like this feeling
Really don't like it!
Mom! Here she is
Thank you so much!
Watch her more closely from now on
Don't go wandering off ever again
Nam
l think.. .
we should become best friends
Aren't we best friends now?
This type of best friends...
is not the type l'm talking about
What is your type of best friends?
Best friends are best friends, this...
this means we are a couple
Are you my girlfriend?
That's why l said we need to adjust to be best friends
l am not air conditioner l can't be adjusted like that
Couples may break up best friends are for a life time
l want to see you for the rest of my life
What does she mean by best friends?
What is ''adjusting to be best friends''?
ls it because you are too popular among girls?
What does that mean? What did l do?
Nothing. l guess she doesn't feel secured
l think if she won't worry that much...
if you are just her best friend
ls there something that l didn't do good enough?
l don't know
l'm still trying to understand women
Her dad is right she's so hard to understand
All women are complicated
Or is Mi more complicated?
Whatever
all l know is l like her
Sorry... Traffic jam
What would you like, miss?
Coffee please
Why do you keep calling me so many times?
Remember this!
Your number is 9332-01-07.. .
and mine is 9332-06-07
Don't use beeper anymore
This way l can call you whenever l want right?
l don't want it Why?
l don't want people to be able to find me so easily
Also, l don't want.. .
to call you and find out that...
your phone is off
l don't care, l bought it already
Just think of it as your birthday present.. .
or Christmas present.. .
or even your graduation present
Please accept it! Please!
But l don't have anything for you
lt's OK
You just need to tell me what these numbers stand for
Stand for... your birthday and mine
When a boyfriend gives a present to his girlfriend...
it's not too much to ask for her to say something sweet, right?
Say it, l haven't heard you say that to me before
You're dead!
Dead!
One more
Hello?
Hello.. . hello.. . Mi
Hey Nam! l'm almost ready
When are you and dad coming to pick me up?
l'm not Nam, l'm Danny
Hi
You almost developed a peritonitis
Nam
Why are you staying in a public room?
l'll get you to a private room in a minute
ls this Mi?
l'm Nam's sister this is his other sister
How do you feel?
Doctor said it should be fine
But l feel bloated and my stomach hurts
Oh, bloated
Fart, you need to fart
Rest for a week
l'll postpone your interview at the U.S . lmmigration
You already received the acceptance letter
Sis, let him rest Let's go change his room first
l still think you should go to America.. .
instead of ltaly
Easy.. . lt hurts.. .
This is the wound!
Why haven't you fart?
l was taught since little.. .
never to fart in front of others lt's impolite
But this is different
lt is not an ordinary fart
lt is a divine and precious fart
Don't make me laugh!
Sorry! Sorry! Don't laugh!
How can l fart with you here?
l'll leave then
Hey don't go
Mi
Please don't ever talk about being.. .
just best friends again?
We'll be better friends
than best friends then
You'll regret it for sure
Please go outside.. . hurry.. .
Outside.. . Please.. .
Hey, what's the matter?
Fart
Fa... Oh, fart!
That's a good thing
Nam left for America he was gone for years
Mi didn't go to the airport to see him off
She said she had to stay home with grandma
l know that was her excuse
She was scared that Nam would never come back
But she would never ask Nam to stay either
Grandma
Grandma, l'm leaving
Good
This.. .
is a ''rest''
This is my favorite symbol
lt represents stop, rest, breathe.. .
and start over again
Every symbol has its own meaning
When you look back at it after you've known it...
You'll see it's not just a symbol it is.. .
an emotion
Do you understand?
No? Don't worry, you will in the future
OK, one more time
Sorry, l have to take this call l have an elderly at home
Hello?
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to Mi.. .
l'm taking a test What test?

l know you'll pass for sure. Bye bye!
Hey, see you on lCQ tonight
All passengers.. .
please fasten your seatbelts We're about to take off
(You really should leave the country)
(Not only for education but to broaden your view)
(Grandma is getting weaker l want to spend more time with her)
(How's my smoking partner?)
(Good, but still smoking too much. You?)
(About the same, too much school work can't quit)
(l believe you can quit when you are ready to)
There, beautiful!
Thank you!
You really look beautiful!
l want to see you in a wedding gown too!
My wife! My hubby!
The groom looks so handsome today
Of course! Thank you!
Cheng, my husband's best friend knows everything about Japan
Mi, my best friend
Hello! Hello!
Mi will go to Japan to study
Take care of her for me
When are you going?
Haven't decided yet
She is going to be by herself over there
Give her your business card

Do you want her to call you or will you call her?
Mi, what's your number?
9332-0107
Mi, here is your drink
Thanks!
Danny Cheng, hello!
Ring.. . Ring
Here you go
There're many music schools in Tokyo
l'm a poor student, don't have much money
You can go for a visit first
Or just learn the language
What are you talking about?
Ah.. . Kung.. . Ah.. .
Cheng Cheng
Yes.. . Cheng, hello.. .
Mi, when will you go out with me?
Well, whenever you want
To tell you the truth, l really love her
l have been waiting for years
An old friend!
No problem?
Not at all
Let me tell you, she.. .
almost became my best friend's wife
l'll let you two catch up
Handsome, isn't he?
You had too much to drink
Too much.. .
yes, too much
9332-0107, right?
Nam's birthday is 01-07
and my birthday is 07-01
Same set of numbers, yet you won't go out with me
OK, l'll go out with you.. .
right after l get changed
l never thought about studying abroad.. .
especially Japan
But maybe.. .
l don't like that Japanese guy
Pretends he speaks Chinese
You mean Cheng?
He's a Chinese who can speak Japanese
You're kidding! His Chinese is weird.. .
who knows where he is from
Are you going to take me out or not?
Aren't we ''going out'' right now?
Since no one wants us
why don't we try dating each other?
Hello.. . What's up?
You're still out?.. . When?
OK, l'll call you later, bye!
l'm telling you.. .
people in this business never sleep like batmen
Do you really want to go home? How about a drink
Have you talked to Nam lately?
l thought you won't mention him anymore
Why?
We didn't argue
lt's just the distance.. .
that parted us
l just want to know if you two are in touch
Yes, he came back last week
But he left already
Rectal cancer
lt was already too late when we knew it
When are you going back?
My sister is really sad
l plan to stay with her for a few more days
Have you talked to Mi?
Thanks! Bye
Bye
Mi!
When you see Nam
don't tell him you knew about it
Of course
Are you mad at him?
He will call me when he wants to, right?
Don't worry. Go!
OK, bye!
Bye Go
Oolong tea
Sashimi
Yes, water
Water Wa-ter
Water.. .
You pay the bill
Mi, l found some accelerated Japanese classes
Shouldn't you take them before going to Japan?
Best way to learn a language is to go to that country
Don't worry, l'm smart enough
Also, Cheng has been tutoring me everyday
l now can at least get around and order food
Dad, Sa-Yo-Na-Ra
Goodbye grandma
Grandma, you'll catch a cold like that
l have to cover you up again every time
OK, l'm leaving
Grandma
Dad!
At that time we all thought they would get married
But they separated
Later they were together and then they weren't
Maybe they had never really separated
Don't worry l'll take care of him for you
Take care, call me often, OK?
l'm finally leaving the country
Mi.. .
After broadening my view
l'll see if you are still the same
Mi's mom recorded this when Mi was little
After she left there were no more recordings
l haven't seen a cassette tape for ages
lt will still play
Wrong note, come again
Slower
More gentle
Your turn!
No.. . Please, come on.. .
You can do it!
So white, you have pretty skin
Thanks!
This is the look
Her face would turn red when she is shy
Who are you talking about?
l am talking about my ex-girlfriend
Nam always comes over to visit
Two of you don't do anything but smoke...
and talk trash about me
You have to treat him better
Did l treat him badly?
He said he'll wait for you and will marry you
Dad, you are the only one who is waiting for me
You don't know.. .
how many girlfriends he has
l don't understand the two of you
Dad, you are pushing me to get married
Take my word, l won't marry Nam!
l bought two Tamaki Koji Concert tickets
Did you really?
Nam.. .
How's the real estate market lately?
lt's about the same
l want to get a small condo for Mi
She's all grown up should have her own life
l will have my own life too
Her mom left without saying anything
We had waited for more than 10 years
That's why Mi doesn't feel secured around people
You have to be patient with her, OK?
l'll take good care of her
l'll marry her when no one else wants her
What? Until no one else wants her?
l'll tell her about that.. .
Coming
Don't play the piano.. .
come play with me
No.. .
Why not? Let's drink, l don't like piano
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you.. .
Happy birthday to Mi!
How was my singing?
l improved, l got at least 3 notes right
l used to get them all wrong remember?
Let me sing you an completely out of tune one...
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to me
Mi, full marks
(High scores for Mi)
(Good health to my father)
(Takashi and Mi will pass the exam!)
The tender was twenty million over the budget
Foundation was five million higher
Mechanical system costs a lot higher.. .
(Earthquake in Japan. Electricity outage)
The government budget can not be addendum
The first solution...
(Flashlight? Candles?)
(l only have light from the monitor)
Another possibility is to raise another twenty million
(l'll give you of a red lantern)
(and a huge moon from Hong Kong)
(l can only give you my starry eyes)
Many tenders would be interested in this project
Because of the brand name...
(Thank you for being the light whenever l need it)
Nam, what do you think?
lf we redesign it will cost at least two million.. .
Nam, we already decided not to redesign it
Why don't you study it with Yan to see.. .
if we can make any modification...
(Electricity is back, everything is OK)
Everything is OK
How can you treat me like this?
Did you understand that?
What's wrong?
Nam
lt's really you!
How come you're here?
How come you didn't tell me first?
l'm on business just dropping by to see you
You lost weight!
Takashi, Nam

So many celebrities
Your Japanese classmate.. .

You don't smoke now?
Don't want to
You didn't smoke for the whole day

He said he'll quit once you return to Hong Kong
l knew you'd quit one day!
Mi, your toothpaste is almost finished!
l'll get some tomorrow!
Which is the facial soap and which is for the body?
ls there a difference?
lt's really cold

Does it really work?
lt does only if you believe in it
l do
l wish.. .
l wish you will come back to Hong Kong with me tomorrow
Do you think it'll work?
But l don't want to go back yet
See? lt doesn't work
What's the point?
Your Japanese classmate brought you here?
lt's not like you.. .
Or did that Cheng guy bring you here?
They must have wished for Mi to like them
but you wouldn't fall for them
Because you don't want.. .
you're reluctant to walk out from the shadow
Nam
You've left for so many years
l never asked anything of you
You shouldn't ask anything of me now
l'm going back to Hong Kong.. . shouldn't stay any longer
Nam
(To go to Vienna)
(Those l love will never leave me)
Mi came back to Hong Kong before finishing school
Her excuse this time was that she missed home and us
Of course, she won't say that...
she just missed Nam too much
Nam is here
Let's go OK, let's go
How long do we have to wait? l'm hungry
OK, we can't wait any more

When we regret and come back
Will the love still be there
How many times can love start over
How many people are worth waiting for
When love is dying
Will there be enough bravely to love
lf l get a chance to be a father
l want to be as good as your father
Then you'll have to work harder and buy a bigger house
Done changing
Your gray sofa looks nice!
So, where are you taking me?
Just out for a walk
Will you take photos in wedding gown?
No way
l'm not going to take this kind of photos
Yes, it's waste of money and time
l have to go now, bye!

Two bottles of Oolong tea please OK
And also popcorn

No thanks, l have to hurry home to feed my daughter
Now you should be jealous of me
Are you happy now? All alone
What, Cheng is not good enough?
Or do you still think Nam's the best?
None of your business
Hurry up and go feed your baby!
Mi
Passion won't last forever
lf you think Nam is the one then don't wait
Why are you so serious all of a sudden?
l don't know what you are waiting for?
Nam too.. .

Four years.. . we went to so many doctors

Before Nam left, he asked me...

l almost forgot until two days later
What about Nam' wife?
What wife?
Didn't he get married three years ago and moved.. .
He never got married?
lf he was to marry...
it'll be with Mi for sure
We all know she is the only one he loves
How long will this secret be kept?
As long as possible
Fortunately, he.. .
passed away in peace
He listened to Mi's tapes everyday

But he asked me to keep this one
He said if Mi finds out one day
Then please give it back to her
Nothing, just concentrating
