I need to take Ms Wong outdoors

for her training anyway.

OK:

You can go ahead.

I'm fine by myself.

I'm used to it.

That's you as a little girl.

Your father filmed this

a long time ago...

so that you could see it

if your eyes ever healed.

He stopped filming after

he divorced your mother.

That was 7 or 8 years ago.

Grandma...

Is it true when Dad comes back,

he'll take us to Vancouver?

I know you don't want to go,

but life in Vancouver moves

at a slower pace.

It will be better for you.

I can't even read Chinese

how will I learn English?

Grandma,

I don't want to rely

on others forever.

I want to learn to write

and find a job in Hong Kong.

I want to be independent.

Your father would worry about

you going to work.

I have to do the dishes

I'll leave you to watch this alone

Can I help you?

Have you seen my report card?

No.

Do your live around here?

Mun, who's that?

It's a little boy, Grandma.

Did a report card ever turn up

on our balcony?

That kid is teasing you.

Just ignore him.

Kid, what are you eating?

I'm very hungry.

What's your problem?

Everyone we have two pieces

of good news today.

First...

Ms Tone Deaf had a successful

operation!

And second, for our Christmas

charity concert...

We'll be performing with Vanessa Mae!

Mr. Cheng why haven't I received

the practice schedule?

Mun, you know, after all...

we're an organization for the blind.

You're always welcome to come

to practice...

but perhaps you should do something

else for the performance,

such as coordination,

or taking care of our members.

I can even arrange for you

to help out at the centre.

Mr. Cheng,

I really want to take part

in this performance.

I've practiced so long

for this concert!

I understand, but...

Excuse me, Mr. Cheng...

Vanessa Mae's agent

wants us to fax over her schedule.

I'll be with you right away.

Mun, Mun?

Let's discuss this again.

I have to go.

Grandma!

Are you leaving?

Yes, to class.

Come back early for dinner.

I've prepared some special

turnip soup.

Bye!

Have you seen my report card?

Didn't you find it yet?

I really haven't seen it.

Perhaps you should ask someone else.

Ying Ying!

Excuse me, I'd like to talk to her.

Look what I've brought for you?

Sis, I've just had chemo-therapy,

I'll throw up if I eat.

It's OK.

Then we'll save it for when

you get better.

If only we had believed

him just that once

or given him a chance to explain,

he might still be here playing

video games.

Who would have expected

him to jump offjust like that?

Suicide is a dreadful sin.

The souls of those who commit

suicide...

are obliged to repeat their

painful deaths everyday.

To help him break out of this
