Alright, its Sunday morning here with Perfect Ten, 98.7 FM.
How are we looking like on this Sunday morning? Of course it's just about to be a brand new week
but for now this is Kate Reyes, and I'm going to stay with you all the way till 1 0 a.m
We've got a little tip from our friend about the weather
And of course you're calling from Ah Road
According you, believe it or not,
you'll see light to moderate showers in the late afternoon.
Now don't quote me on that.
We'll come back with a confirmation as soon as possible.
But for now have a good Sunday morning."
Has anybody called for the ambulance yet?
Good morning children. Good to see you up and about.
Too bad you missed the early morning suicide.
Suicide? Really? Where?
Downstairs. Probably jumped from the twelfth floor.
Wah lan, the body still there or not?
It should be.
Khor, I go and have a look ah.
You mean someone really jump,Khor?
Yeah. Quite a young guy too.
Why ah?
I don't know, maybe his girlfriend jilted him.
It's always the case. Stupid.
I hope you don't ever do such a stupid thing.
Don't worry Khor, I'll never kill myself over a boy.
Well, good girl, but if you ever need anyone to talk to,
about BGR, you know, Boy Girl Relationships,
you can always turn to me.
Why, you think your brother doesn't know about these things?
Hey, I was young once. I've been there before.
In fact, when I was in J.C.,
I was so crazy, they used to call me "Ah Seow".
There was this girl in my Chemistry class.
Wow, was she wild man.
She used to have at least two buttons undone on heruniform every day.
We used to bet about the colour of her underwear.
So you got do anything or not?
No lah, I didn't want to play around with her emotions. No good.
It's the same thing, at the S.D.U. functions.
Some of the ladies are very interested in me.
But I just feel right now isn't the right time for romance. For me anyway.
I think you're such a nice guy, Khor.
Whoever ends up with you is a very lucky girl.
Wa lau, Che, go and see lah. Maybe one of your boyfriend from school.
Asshole. Say no more, I throw you down also."
I don't know how you all can eat this kind of stuff, cold.
Its terrible.
You have no idea what kind of bacteria is growing on it.
Actually, breakfast is the most important meal of the day you know.
If you have a good breakfast, it gets you off to a good start.
You'll feel better for the rest of the day.
And you'll be more productive.
Yah, but you'll feel lousy at night.
Yeah, and night time is the party time Khor!
Actually, last night should be the last time, OK.
At your age, you two should not be staying out so late.
So, this week, while Papa and A Ma are away,
You two must be home by 1 0 every night.
Are you joking?
No, I am perfectly serious.
But Singapore is so safe what?
No, there's been so many molest cases these days.
I want you two be be home early. I can take care of myself.
I'm already 1 8 years old Khor,
Even Papa never say I must come back by 1 0 o'clock.
Well, Papa is away, and I have to bear the responsibility.
You don't want to get me in trouble do you?
Tee?
What?
No more late nights, Ok?
Yah lah.
Your exams are next week, right?
This is the critical period, you should be spending more time on your work.
Don't go out so much. I don't want you to see these havoc people.
I never, what.
Wah, according to the newspaper, there were 401 suicides in Singapore last year.
More than one per day.
I see your maths is getting better.
So, what time did you get back last night?

How can that be? I was still watching T.V. at eleven.
Eleven, eleven thirty, same same lah.

That's still very late. Where were you?

Out, and its none of your business anyway. You're not my father OK?
In the meantime, I am in charge, and I want to know, Ok.
You don't believe me? If you get into trouble, I'm the one they'll contact.
I don't want to have to go down to the police station and bail you out,
If you get arrested.
I'm saying, if you were to get arrested for whatever reason,
I am the one they would contact.
Since when I got arrested?
Even I got arrested, you don't have to come down, what?
You don't have to watch over me.
Its not so easy, Mei.

It was a joke! Someone in class brought it to school and put it in my bag!
Yah, your boyfriend who like balloons.

I hope you're telling me the truth.
It's true!
How can they allow such things in the school!
It was a joke!

For me to use just in case,.. is a joke.
Well, it's not funny OK. I want talk with this Jackie's parents.
No Khor! Is just a joke lah, please.
Tee, I want you to know, it's very rude of you,
to look into other people's personal belongings.
You must respect Che Che's privacy. How would you like it,
if I would look into your things when you're not around.
Could you be listening to me or not!
This is basic courtesy. Always remember, don't do unto others what you
Don't want them to do unto you.
I don't mind if she looks in my bag.
But I mind.
She minds Ok, and you should respect her, as your elder sister.
This is what they mean, when they say we must strive to
be more gracious society. Do you know what graciousis or not?
Something like you?
Then...
Homosexual Moron
Mei, I want to know the truth about this thing. Do you have a boyfriend?
Where got? Only friends what.
Are you fooling around with boys?
No
Then what's this condom in your bag?
It's a joke, that all it was.
But its not a funny OK. What if she were to put other things in your bag? Drugs? Ecstasy?
She never what. She's my good friend. Anyway she don't do drugs.
I also never do drugs?
Are you fooling around with boys?
No.
It's terrible these days, I see it in school.
Teenage girls pregnant before they sit for O Levels.
What were all these venereal diseases out there.
Do you know, in Singapore now, every three days there's a person
who gets AlDS. You know that or not? HlV positive. Condoms are only 90% safe.
Yah I know.
I'm only concerned for you. I don't want you get to
get mixed up with the wrong company.
Stay away from drugs, alcohol or cigarettes - they are all silent killers.
I never touch those things Khor.
I don't know how some young people an just ignore all this.
The latest medical studies show, pre-marital sex is correlated with
a higher risk of cancer, down there, in later life.
And the number of abortions,
you know, almost one third of pregnancies in Singapore
end in abortion. And so many, are teenagers.
You don't have anything to worry about.
You're a good girl. Right?
Mei, promise me you'll stay a virgin until you get married."
Shouldn't you be studying?
Aiyah, sian already lah. It's the weekend what.
But you know its costing a lot of money for you
to do your O levels as a private candidate.
Yah.
Do you know who's paying for it?
You lah.
And didn't we agree that you would hard?
But I'm not smart like you. I don't know how to study one.
Don't know how, or don't want to study?
Alright, I don't want to study already.
Then, why?
Why am I paying for you to go to a private school?
I'm doing it to make you happy.
To make me happy. Doing it for me.
I remember quite clearly, that we had a discussion with
Ah Pa and Ah Ma, and you told us that you wanted to carry on studying.
do your 'O'Level again. Isn't it correct?
I change my mind.
You changed your mind. Just like that.
Exams around the corner, you change your mind.
What do you want to do with your life?
What, you think I cannot get a job?
2 'O' levels, what kind of jobs you going to get?
What, selling McDonalds hamburgers.
Is it what you want? Be like Ah Pa, work in a store room all your life?
Is that you want?
Be salesgirl loh. I can get a job at a boutique.
A salesgirl. You want to be a salesgirl?
I like clothes anyway. You told us not to look down on people.
I'm not looking down on people. But don't you want to get out of here?
We could be upgrading to a bigger flat. You think I like it,
being I the same room as you and Tee?
Yah, I think you like it very much!
Yeah, right, I like it being cramped up in a same room with two brats!
I enjoy paying $130 for you to go to a private school,
enjoy paying your phone bills, and your food, and your clothes!
I never ask you what. I can go and work.
Then why am I doing this?
Why am I paying for you to go to a private school?
For you to graduate and then go and work for Metro?
Don't pay better still. Anyway I don't want to study anymore.
This is what I'm paying for, for you to read Female Is it?
Don't you care about us, don't you care about your family, the ones who love you?
I care what.
Then why don't make something of yourself.
Do some work. I don't mind paying money for you, but I know you need something.
But whole day you're going out you're going out,
and come home so late, never know where you are.
And then wearing these tight clothes. One day you're going to get raped!
Choi!
Choi, is that what you'll say? Choi!
Do you care or not?
Our Aunts and Uncles are laughing at you, 'O' Level also cannot pass.
Let them say.
You're selfish, that's what you are.
You don't care how Ah Ma and Ah Pa and I feel.
Do you realize how hard we work? The sacrifices we make?
Don't you think we deserve something better?
You're ashamed of me right?
Yes, I'm ashamed of you to have a sister who goes around half naked,
showing her flesh to the whole neighbourhood. Oh sure.
You think you're so cool now. In a few years, you'll
Iose your looks, you'll become pear shaped like all Chinese girls.
Yah, go ahead, sulk somemore. That's the only thing you're good for.
Come here boy, boy.
Mummy's going to visit Auntie San San.
Do you know who Auntie San San is?
Auntie San San's mother used to look after Mummy,
Just like Joyce looks after you.
Go and play, be good.
