Daddy, is it our first choice?
Mommy, we only got number 23.
We need the recommendation letter.
Daddy, where are we going?
Mommy went out this morning to get you a recommendation letter.
We're going to your preferred school to plead for a place.
Oh.
Parents, the recommendation letters are ready.
She Cheuk-wing.
Thank you. Welcome...
Yik Ka-yan.
Sheung Yee.
Thank you. Bye. Welcome.
Still not here? What's taking them so long?
Hello, Nim-shu, where are you? Carrie, did you get the letter?
Got it already?
Rush over...be quick...
They're giving out application forms soon... It'll be our turn soon ...Bye.
Hurry up...
Not even second or third choice.
Number 23? Their efforts were wasted.
It's more like lottery. It's about luck.
Why do you care so much? He's my grandson, not yours.
He's like my grandson already.
Take it easy...calm down.
What's taking them so long?
Thank you.
Here they are...
Over here...
Nim-shu...finally.
You're at the front end.
We came here before dawn.
The one in front must have come here last night.
Dad, Brenda. Mommy.
Here you are. Yee.
We're so far back.
Will the school think we don't care?
Sorry, Dad, Brenda. That's not what I meant.
It's alright...we understand.
Parents, we're giving out interview application forms now.
One copy per student.
Fill it in and hand it back with the student's portfolio.
You can go after we check the details.
You'll be called back for an interview later.
Chi. Yes?
Check if all the documents are here.
Dad, they're all here.
Check again, just in case. OK.
Mommy, may I have a tissue?
Just a moment.
Don't cry...
Don't cry.
He's consoling you. Thank you.
Good boy.
Have some fruit.
Why haven't we heard from the school yet?
I'm so anxious.
Didn't you see how long the queue was?
Selection can only begin after the applicants are interviewed one by one.
We have to be patient.
Hello? Is this the Sheung family?
Yes.
I'm your upstairs neighbor.
I think the mailman made a mistake. See if this is for you.
It is. Thank you.
Is it from the school? Yes.
Read it.
The interview is next week.
Thank heavens.
Good! We've past the first hurdle.
The interview is the difficult part.
Yee doesn't have a very good track record.
Don't give him pressure.
Just take it in stride.
Mommy, I need to pee.
Didn't you just go? Again?
I need to go.
He's nervous. I am too. I'll go with him.
Hurry back.
Wash your hands.
Be thorough.
Daddy, my shirt got wet...
How careless of you.
Yee, you're back.
Why is your shirt wet?
The wash basin was wet.
He pressed against it by mistake.
What should I do?
Will the teacher frown on me?
Of course not. It's just water.
Grandpa said that untidy kids won't be accepted.
You're not untidy. You're neat and proper.
Daddy, will I have no school to go to?
Silly, you will go to school.
Just do your best in the interview. OK?
What's your name?
Sheung Yee.
Why is your shirt wet?
I'm sorry. I was careless in the restroom.
It's alright.
Now, let us see if you know the word from a random card.
Spider.
What about this?
Grasshopper. Good!
What about this one?
I'm sorry. I don't know that one.
Eugene, you are very polite.
It says in your portfolio that you've gone to mental abacus calculation class.
Anything else? No.
But I love to look at stars.
Tell me more about that.
Do you know why the moon shines?
I don't. Tell me why.
The moon doesn't shine.
It just reflects light from the Sun.
Do you know who Galileo was?
I do. But my favorite is Copernicus.
You know about Copernicus? Awesome.
You really love astronomy.
I do.
Thank you. Thank you.
Goodbye, Principal. Goodbye, teacher.
Bye...
I hope to see you when school begins on the first of September.
Thank you... Thank you...
Bye...
Are stars really that fascinating?
Daddy, the stars look so much clearer through a telescope.
Then I have to take a look too.
Wow, gorgeous.
Daddy, could you take me to the meteor shower next month?
You know there's a meteor shower next month.
You're amazing!
Because I went to Copernicus' webpage.
You really like him a lot.
Come, let's have a chat.
Do you like the school where you went for an interview?
I do.
You didn't even have to pause for a thought.
Do you really mean it?
I do...
Is there any other school you like?
Think again.
Think carefully.
I like Gaia. I like Copernicus.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because Grandpa doesn't like it.
Did he say that?
He said he likes the primary school I got into.
I see.
I'll let you choose again.
If you could choose again, which one would you go to?
Gaia.
Hubby, call me an ambulance.
Why?
I saw blood when I went to the bathroom.
Doctor, why was she bleeding?
There are many reasons
like placental abruption, uterine rupture or premature labor.
We need to examine further to find out.
It's that serious?
It's lucky you didn't bleed that much.
The baby's fine.
I've been taking good care of her. Why did this happen?
Over-exertion, stress or age may play a role.
Make sure she rests more.
Doctor, I'm worried about the baby.
You're just 28 weeks into the pregnancy,
more bleeding is a red alert.
She needs to stay in bed all day and keep her movement to the minimum.
And relax. Anxiety will affect the fetus.
Mr Kuk, spend more time with your wife.
Of course.
Thank you, Doctor. Thank you, Doctor.
Hubby, will the baby be alright?
Didn't the doctor tell you to relax?
I'll keep you company.
What about Pork Belly?
Is he home alone? You can't do that.
Listen to the doctor, take it easy.
I called Bella.
Bella and Pacino will take care of him, OK?
OK.
Don't tell him about me, I don't want him to worry.
What did the doctor say?
Stop worrying, don't be so anxious.
Thank you.
Close file, take a rest, and I'll tuck you in.
Good night.
He's asleep.
He's not. His eyes are fluttering.
How observant.
Let me have a chat with him.
Sure. Call me if you want me.
Hey, wake up. It's just me.
Mommy.
What? Worrying about Mommy Fa?
She's fine.
Mommy, I did something bad. I hurt Mommy Fa.
What is it? Tell me about it.
You didn't want to eat. Have a drink.
Thank you.
You don't look like you had a good night's sleep last night.
I spent the whole night with Ophelia. I didn't sleep well.
What? I really look that terrible?
I've never seen you look this terrible.
You have to take care of yourself too.
I'm fine.
I know it's not the proper thing to say.
Still, I'm a bit envious.
Of my terrible look?
You had been sweet to me when we were dating.
But it became progressively rare. I only remember our fights.
I've always wanted to apologize to you.
Forget it.
I was just kidding when I said I was envious.
I want to say that you've changed a lot. I'm serious.
I can feel it too.
We grow up as we grow old.
We were too young and immature back then.
We didn't know how to get along with each other.
Now we have a happy ending.
You have Pacino, and I my wife.
I believe in destiny.
When you meet the right person,
somehow, you'll change for them.
You really have grown up.
I have?
Was Pork Belly alright over at your place?
No. And it's serious.
What is it?
You should have a good talk with him.
It's beyond me or Pacino.
Only you can help him.
Daddy.
Yo. I can't sleep. Can we have a chat?
Shouldn't you be at the hospital with Mommy Fa?
She has Auntie Judy.
I want to be with you too.
Have a chat with me.
Lend me half of your bed, OK?
Let's have a father and son talk.
Your mom told me you couldn't sleep last night.
Were you worrying about Mommy Fa?
Do you have anything to tell me?
Kuk Siu-Nam, look up and look at me.
What's going on?
Daddy, I've felt ignored since Mommy Fa got pregnant.
I was upset and said I didn't want a sister.
You think you put a curse on her and that's the reason she's in the hospital?
You and Mommy Fa have taught me to be careful with our words,
that words can hurt.
I didn't mean it.
I don't want anything to happen to Mommy Fa or sister.
Daddy, I'm sorry.
So you know we should be careful with our words,
you know it's wrong, right?
That means you've grown up.
I know a way to undo the curse.
I have the device with me.
You know how to undo a curse? I sure do.
A paper bag?
Yes. It's very simple.
Say the hurtful words into the paper bag.
Blow it up and then hit it hard.
I don't want a sister.
And then?
Mr Kuk Siu-Nam, you just undid the curse.
Have you learned the lesson of being careful with your words?
Think before you talk.
Or you may hurt other people.
I understand.
Dave, buy me a coil incense and get me an oracle set.
I need to get an oracle and a blessing for your Aunt Ophelia and her baby.
Buddha, may I ask for a blessing for my sister Chu Lai-fa and her baby?
Let them overcome this hurdle.
Mommy. Thank you.
It's number one.
Ophelia.
Hello... Sis.
What a big fruit basket! Who's it from?
Marius and Carrie. They were here.
Sis, I have something good for you.
I got you an oracle, it's number one. It's auspicious.
It says happiness is around the corner.
You will be fine.
I have nothing to do here but sleep and eat. I'm so bored.
I have something to show you. It'll cheer you up.
What is it?
Play.
Pork Belly?
Mommy Fa, I miss you.
But Daddy said hospitals are not for kids.
Get well soon.
I'll make you a cheesecake. Mommy Fa, I love you.
How sweet.
Isn't it sweet?
I want to go home.
Did the doctor say when I can go?
Beds are always tight in hospitals.
They wouldn't keep you if you could be discharged.
Uncle, are you going back to Fa Sin Chi?
I can give you a ride.
Oh yes, thanks for reminding me.
I have to go.
Ladies, see you.
Drive safely. OK.
I'll keep an eye on him.
And you keep an eye on her.
She's very naughty. She has this urge to get out of bed.
Keep an eye on her.
How about I tie her up?
I'll be here once school is over.
Don't tire yourself.
Don't worry.
Bye...
So lovey-dovey.
I used to think Kuk Chi-keung only cared about money.
But he's become a different person since marrying you.
I was wrong about him.
What is it? I was praising your hubby.
He's too good to me.
What if something happens to me?
Touch wood! Don't say such things.
You didn't see him when he was taking me here that night.
He almost burst into tears in the ambulance.
He may look tough, he's actually very vulnerable.
I know he's really worried about me.
It would be easier for him if he didn't love me this much.
Come on, don't be so negative.
Like the oracle says...
Happiness is around the corner.
I promise you
I'll cook and do the housekeeping for your husband and son.
I'll take care of my brother-in-law.
Thank you.
My oranges...
Thank you.
Judy. Brother Tung...
Nice oranges.
Don't you find it odd that I would pick this place?
I do. I thought it would be some place quiet.
But...
I like the hustle and bustle here.
I've been feeling ill at ease since my sister had to go to the hospital.
The buzz here is soothing.
Don't worry. She'll be fine.
I almost didn't recognize you just now.
Have I really changed that much?
It's not your look...
It's your vibe.
You used to be fidgety.
Now you're full of confidence.
That shows the trial worked.
What trial? Tell me.
My Sichuan trip.
Sichuan?
I failed Dave's long march.
I told myself I needed to pull myself together.
So I joined a Sichuan volunteer trip to see if I could handle it.
So this was the trial you mentioned.
It was really hard to bear at first.
It was cold and I got pneumonia and a fever.
I almost died.
I survived them all. I passed all the tests heaven set for me.
That's what's given you this confidence.
I told you I would come back a new Shek Tung.
You kept your word, new Shek Tung.
You didn't drink it. Why?
Do you have something to tell me?
I do...
But this place seems a bit too romantic for it.
It doesn't have to be under the moonlight, right?
I love you goes well with an oyster pancake.
Then I'll say it now.
I'm mentally prepared.
Here we go...
May I court you?
No. That's not romantic enough. Try again.
Let's start all over again.
No. We just started. How can we start all over again?
Think again.
Please...will you take care of me for the rest of my life.
Then who will take care of me for the rest of my life?
No one else but me.
That's creative. I like it.
Judy, I love you.
Chocolate looks yummy.
I want strawberry.
Mango for me.
Are you really treating us to ice-cream?
Yes. We had a deal.
If you all got 80 marks or above on the exam,
I'd treat you to ice-cream.
Hurray!
Yummy.
We have something for you.
You do? What is it?
For you... So many?
They're all beautiful. Thank you.
Pork Belly, what is it?
I miss Mommy Fa.
She's in the hospital. Doctors and nurses are taking care of her.
Your daddy, Miss Chu and I go see her all the time.
She's fine.
Do you want to help her?
Then take care of a person for her.
Who? I can do that.
His name is Kuk Siu-Nam.
Make sure he eats well, is happy and does his homework.
Wing. Hello, Marius.
Hi! Hi...
Thank you.
You're early too.
We're renewing our license.
We all came back to help out.
A technician is coming to check out our fire services installation.
If there's an unannounced inspection,
handle it for me.
Leave it to me.
Just take good care of Ophelia.
There's a new student list, with the teacher-and-student ratio.
Just leave it to me, alright?
Yeah!
What day of the week is it?
It's Thursday.
Yeah...Thursday.
Just chill.
I'm so tired I can doze off any time.
I don't know whether I'm waking up to the day or night.
I'm losing my mind.
You have to get some good rest.
I don't even have time for Pork Belly.
I took the kids for ice-cream yesterday.
He was quiet throughout.
He's worried about Ophelia but he doesn't want to heap more on your plate.
I know my mood will rub off on him.
But it's hard for me to be cheerful.
I've been trying my best.
I'm taking Yat and Yee camping this Saturday.
Pork Belly can join us.
It'll cheer him up to have Yat and Yee keeping him company.
Thank you. Come on.
Hello?
Right away.
She was fine this morning.
She was in a good mood.
The doctor said she was OK, and could be discharged tomorrow.
A premature birth is risky.
But the fetus is 28 weeks old.
They'll be fine.
Right, Ophelia is tough. She'll be fine.
That's how she is. She insists on worrying about everything.
Everything will be OK, Buddy.
Time to pick Pork Belly up from school. I'll take care of him for you.
You take good care of yourself.
It's time to pick Yat and Yee up too. Let me give you a ride.
OK.
It'll be fine.
Hey...slow down...don't trip.
I can't wait to see Mommy Fa.
Uncle Stone, is she alright?
Auntie Judy just called.
She's fine. You have a sister now.
That's good.
Auntie. Pork Belly.
How's Mommy Fa?
She just had an operation.
The anaesthesia hasn't worn off. You can't see her yet.
What about my sister? Your sister...
How is she?
Ask Chi-keung.
How's the baby? How's my sister?
She was born early.
She only weighs three pounds.
She's on a breathing machine.
She's so light, will she be alright?
The doctor said premature babies may experience complications.
Their lungs aren't fully formed yet.
They need to be put in a breathing machine.
There may be bleeding in the brain because their blood vessels are fragile.
It may affect their eyesight or heart function.
Will she be alright?
The coming days are crucial.
Let's root for her.
Honey...
You're awake.
Where am I?
The hospital. You just gave birth.
Where is she? Let me see her.
Not now. You need to stay in bed after the delivery.
I just went to see her.
How's our baby? Is it really a girl?
Yes, a girl. As pretty as you are.
But she was born prematurely. Is she alright?
She's fragile. So she's been put in a breathing machine.
Breathing machine? Why?
Cases like this are common. It's not that serious.
It's temporary.
What? What did the doctor say?
Hubby, don't lie to me.
It's temporary.
Why is she in a breathing machine?
I did every examination they told me to do.
I took all the medicine they told me to take.
I did everything like I was told. Why did this happen?
Calm down...
It's my fault...Did I not do enough?
I should have done more. It's my fault.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
How's Ophelia? Has she calmed down?
She keeps crying herself to sleep.
She's not well. Miss Chu, Dave and I take turns watching her.
What about the baby?
She's still on a breathing tube.
Yat and Yee are no longer babies.
It still breaks my heart to see them suffer.
She's just a newborn.
I believe in karma.
Pork Belly was raised by his mom right after he was born.
Heaven gave me this chance to be a dad again,
so I could go through this heartbreaking ordeal.
Step up to the plate.
Still, why should my daughter get punished for my mistakes?
It's not a punishment.
No one's life is a bed of roses.
There is always a way out.
Just be strong.
Or who will be there to take care of Ophelia.
It'll be fine.
I know. It'll turn out alright in the end.
Actually I should thank you.
From when Pork Belly came to live with me
to meeting Ophelia and to having a daughter.
It seems you've always been here for me.
You may not have gone out of the way to do anything or say anything,
but I've somehow changed because of you.
Thank you.
I should thank you instead.
Why? What for?
As a cautionary tale.
You keep me on my toes.
You're right.
Cheers. Cheers.
Daddy, did I wake you?
No. How sweet of you to tuck me in.
Are you really tired? You dozed off for a while.
Hungry?
What time is it? Midnight.
That late?
Have you eaten?
Yes, Auntie and Uncle Shek Tung took me out to dinner.
Good.
Let me make you some noodles.
No...you may scald yourself.
Relax. I can handle hot water.
Daddy, dig in, or it'll get soggy.
It's the first time you've cooked for me.
I can't bear to eat it.
Come on.
Alright.
How can I not try my son's noodles?
Awesome.
Daddy, my summer vacation starts next week.
I called Mommy to tell her I'd move to her place and she said yes.
You'll have more time for Sis and Mommy Fa.
I should apologize to you.
I haven't had any time for you because of Mommy Fa and your sister.
It's alright. I'm a big boy now. I'm a big brother.
Good! You're a big brother.
Don't be naughty when you're staying with your mommy.
Or she'll blame me for spoiling you.
I'll be very obedient.
I'll come back to see Mommy Fa and Sis after my homework is done.
Good! Let's root for her.
Yee said there'll shooting stars these next two days.
I wonder if we'll see one.
Then we can make a wish. People say it'll come true.
I wonder if we see one?
Daddy, look.
What was your wish?
For Mommy Fa and Sis to come home soon.
What about you?
That your wish will come true.
Daddy.
Daddy, I won the astronomy quiz for primary one.
You're amazing.
That's what the teacher said too.
Mr Sheung. Principal.
Has Sheung Yee told you about the competition?
Yes.
He's smart and polite.
He's now the head of the astronomy group.
Keep it up, OK? Yes.
Good!
I used to think a proper education was only available in elite schools.
But Yee is happy and doing well in this school.
Thank you. You're welcome.
We have to go.
Bye, Principal.
Go home early. Bye.
Bye. Bye.
Daddy, are we going home?
You are, I'm not.
But I'll take you home first.
Flying Colors Magazine...
Sorry, I'm late.
It's alright...we can wait. You play a leading role too.
Flying Colors...
Where will this video be shown?
Our website.
It will go viral and the viewership will grow.
Flying Colors Magazine...OK...done.
Wing? Yes?
Ready? Yes...
Camera.
Hello, I'm Kuk Chi-keung. Everyone calls me Kuk Sir.
I should thank Flying Colors Magazine for giving Fa Sin Chi Education Center
the Best Education Center Award.
Let me thank my support team and our excellent teachers,
and of course the support of the parents and students.
I have some good news for you.
Three new Fa Sin Chi centers are on their way.
We want to provide you with more courses for your different needs.
Thank you.
Now it's Marius Sheung's turn. He's my partner and our teacher.
Thank you.
Excellent academic results,
getting into an elite school and a good job
are what most parents expect of their kids.
Since I became a full-time daddy,
I've come to realize that grades are not the most important factor in a kid's development.
It's steering them to the right path.
Every kid is different and unique.
Your new house really looks good.
I have to pay a mortgage.
Principal Sheung, I'm counting on you to make Fa Sin Chi thrive.
I can't handle this pressure, Principal Kuk.
You can.
Welcome! Thank you very much.
Daddy. Yo.
Give me a hand. Take it inside.
Why are you so sweaty? Because I'm happy.
Happy? Take it inside. OK.
Yo.
You're so late.
You could have started without me. We have.
Look at your belly.
I'm carrying two.
It's my first time being a dad. I'm so excited.
Of course you are. Twins!
I'm so hungry. What do we have?
Uncle, help yourself.
The shrimps are big.
Watermelon is good.
Mr Shek, Mrs Shek.
Hubby, how's the salad? As delicious as you are.
Dig in.
Dad, Brenda. Hi.
The shrimps are fresh. Really?
And the corn is sweet.
I want to try some. Over there.
Hey...
Where's your girlfriend?
Oh her way. It'll take some time.
Weren't you going to play with my daughter?
She's was getting her diaper changed.
So? Come on over. OK.
Here comes Godfather...
Daddy's back.
You missed Daddy, right?
Don't cry. Godfather's here.
Godfather's here.
Daddy only cares about his daughter.
What about us? Right.
May I hold her?
I can feel the sibling bond.
He loves his sister.
He knows how to change diapers.
We're all here. Come on...
Dig in, OK?
Keung...
Not a moment too soon.
Grandpa. Good boy...
Brother. Hello, Lung...
Let me check on my granddaughter.
Hello...she looks good.
So does my brother. Hungry?
Let's eat. Great...
Sweetie...
What now? I'm happy.
Happy? Silly.
