First time?

Yes.

How old are you?

Good.

You can work for a long time.

Brought your rosary?

Yes.

Forget about it.

There is no room for God here.

Thank you, class.

Thank you, Mrs Ong.

Aren't you special?

Your maid picks you up

from the classroom.

Jiale.

Since you're so smart...

...carry my bag.

Hello?

Terry:

Yes Ma'am.

What took you so long?

I was...

Is Ah Boy around?

Wait, hold on...

Let me talk to him.

Terry:

Hold on, Ma'am.

He's in the toilet.

Okay, never mind.

That boy is really lazy.

Make sure he finishes his

homework before I'm back.

Okay Ma'am.

Jiale.

Your maid is calling for you.

Mummy asked you to do your homework.

Later.

Mummy says finish your

homework before she's home

Come on.

Leave me alone.

I said come on.

That's enough.

Go up and do your work,

don't be a busybody.

Are you coming or not?

Jiale.

Go home.

F***. Courting death?

Taxi drivers these days are just reckless.

Are you alright?

Still playing when your arm's like that?

Tell me. How did you get hit by a taxi?

Terry, I don't want this to happen again.

Yes, Ma'am.

Take care of yourself.

Don't wander about.

Terry, bring him up and

start cooking dinner.

You're not going home?

Take me back to the office,

I have work to do.

The office? At this time?

No thanks to your son.

They must be saying things

about me stepping out so often.

I'll do it myself.

Let me help. Come on.

Let me do it.

The doctor said it mustn't get wet.

I know.

Wait.

Here.

Okay, you go out.

Auntie.

I thought you were very clever.

Why do you need my help?

Shut up.

Be careful, your knee.

You think I haven't seen this before?

I've seen bigger ones.

Your hair stinks.

What?

Your hair's very smelly.

Nonsense.

I'll help you wash your hair.

Stop it.

Give it to me.

Terry.

I'm coming, Ma'am.

Help me.

Later on, take a broom and sweep outside.

I wonder which idiot keeps smoking here.

Bastard.

Can I speak to him?

Your son is already asleep.

Anyway how's your Lino?

Still drinking.

Didn't he stop?

You will think.

I told him that he can

go drink himself to death.

Bastard.

They are all the same.

Really thanks for helping.

I know it's hard for you.

It's harder for you.

We know that.

Still out at this hour?

I was making a call.

Are you okay?

Yes, Sir.

Is there a problem?

No,Sir.

Terry.

Yes?

Don't tell Ma'am.

Yes Sir.

I'm sorry but we're looking for someone

with higher qualifications.

But I have 15 years of...

I understand...

but you're not what we're

looking for at this moment.

Okay, thank you.

By the way...

how long have you been out of job for?

2 months.

We have a temporary position

if you're interested.

But we pay by the hour.
