Pray for srriooifi sailing daspfto iris rapids

No misforturne along the journey

May it bloom like a coconut flower

May it expand like the spirit of a snake

August

An, Biao, you just don't listen

There could be snakes around, so play elsewhere

Go back to the house

Close the door

Cheong, bring the incense

Stay away

Be careful

Don't stay too close

Place it there

Let's go back

Don't get mad, Datuk Gong

Next Thursday night

We'll prepare a ceremony for you

I hope you won't harm my family

All right. Let's leave

Don't get mad, Datuk Gong

Next Thursday night

We'll offer you a goat

I think it is moving

It's coming out

It’s slithering away. Cheong

Biao, don’t go over

An, come here

I wonder what he's busy with

Didn't you cook the fish

that I caught in the evening?

I'm busy. I have no time to cook

They won't get to eat anything if I cook

Where did you buy this dried meat?

Chinese New Year is over

Dried meat still available?

We do not have enough dishes today

Do I took it out

Or else, they'll be bored of eating chicken curry every week

Can we

relocate Datuk Gong elsewhere?

It's very inconvenient to dry the laundry there

Why don't I move you elsewhere?

Didn't you see that snake just now?

It's a manifestation of Datuk Gong

You just won't listen

Hanging ladies' lingerie daily before the deity

will definitely make him mad

Fortunately, that snake

How can you tell that it was his manifestation?

Why not?

You are english educated and westernized

You know nothing about Chinese taboos

Fine. I'm a westernized and you're a Chinese

Fine. I know nothing

Do you want more?

He's making a scene again. He's so bad-tempered

Aunty Loy mentioned just now

She'll speak for us

We'll compensate him tomorrow

Alright

Did you lock the main gate just now?

I did

Cheong, don't go out

You go into hiding after damaging my house

Both of you stay in the house and eat

I'm not a pushover

Ah Nam, forget about it

Don’t be so hot tempered

Mum, you go back first

I want you to come out now

I tell you, come out now

Let’s discuss amicably

You don't bother

You come out now

I want you to come out now

Don’t be angry

Here’s twenty ringgit for you as compensation

You think I’m a beggar?

Twenty ringgit

Alright

Be more generous, he broke it accidentally

I'll accept your money

Buy the plywood

I'll come back to you

if this isn't enough

Leave now (Siamese language)

Forget about it

Don't simply come out if there's nothing

He will be alright tomorrow

Alright, we go in first

Aunty Kaew, Aunty Kaew...

Nam met with an ancident...

Aunty kaew... Open the door...

What happened to Nam

Nam fell from his motorbike

got runover by a lorry at the road

You rush there fast

He body is covered with blood...

Where is he now

Bring me there

Where is this dried shrimp from?

Produce from Kuala Kedah

Kuala Kedah

I’m looking for dried shrimp produce from Siam

Produce from Siam is dyed it with colour

It's fine, then

Thank you. Come again

Good morning, Cheong

Come

How much is the dried shrimp?

MYR 1.20 for 50g

That's expensive

Can be cheaper?

MYR 1 will do

MYR 1

50g, then

50g? Yes

How about anchovies?

MYR 0.80

Can it be more cheaper?

No. Our cost is high

Why aren't you selling Siamese dried shrimps?

They are tastier

No, I don't sell them

They are tastier

I know

But the cost price is higher

The local dried shrimps doesn’t taste that nice

It’s locally produced. Yes

MYR 1

Thank you

Hoe's your child recently?

Which year is he in?

Standard six. Standard six

Same like my son, An

What a coincidence, they study in the same class?

I don t think so. An study in Class A. Your child?

He's in Class B

He's very naughty

All children are the same

Quarrel again

I know you want to buy it, but you've broken the eggs

What are you looking at?

What are you looking at?

Is Aunty Kaew back?

Not yet.

That night, after Nam's mishap

she returned to her hometown, Danok

There's no one to look after the paddy fields after that

I figure

The Paddy Field Deity will also return to Siam

You've plucked so many chillies

To cook curry?

I'm going back to prepare shrimp sambal

"The loyalty and unity"

"From all will drive"

"The country progress to a greater height"

"Unite as one, together we progress"

"to the beloved country"

"Contribute loyally'

Stop tuning it. It'll come back automatically

Will it take very long?

A short while

You look so sweet when you sleep

Never in your thoughts that you will be in my hands

You are just like an angel

Your body is so enchanting

I always wanted your body, your soul

From now on, I will not let any man have you

What are you watching?

Nothing. The TV has tuned to Siamese programmes

Enough. Eat it at the back, then go and take a bath

You'll be sorry if dad still sees you in your school uniform

Grab your towel or you’ll shout for me again

"He made the above statement"

"While attending the National Speech Contest"

"To coincide with this year’s 30th National Day celebration"

"He persuaded all teachers"

"especially national primary schools of all ethnics group"

"cooperate with education policy"

"to inculcate students' patriotism"

"At the same time"

"the new education policy that appoint teachers"

"from diverse ethnic groups is crucial"

"This is in line with this year's National Day Theme"

Don't fight when you play together

You haven't done washing the blue shirt?

The shirt that I wore to go fishing

I have asked you to wash yesterday, have you not wash it yet?

If you can't find it, put on another shirt
