Sue Ann
Good day Boss Fang
So have you decided to sell your piano?
It's just collecting dust
Might as well sell it
Why?
Why are you selling it?
I used it to learn music when l was young
but I have stopped playing for some time now
So I'm selling it before moving to a new house
Ungrateful woman
What's so funny?
Luckily you were fast
or else you would have drank some drain water
That's none of your business. I don't even know you
Hello
My name is Wen Guang
I am 27 years old
I am kind
Friendly
And helpful
I may seem a little odd
But I hope you understand
I am autistic
I am Sue Ann
Twenty-four years old
I am a kindergarten teacher
Are you autistic?
No, I am normal
Am I abnormal?
That's not what I meant
I'm just an ordinary person
You see people like me everywhere
You are special
right?
The bus is here
Go on
Boss done
Okay thanks
You start first
Why are there still so many left?
Hurry up
Are you here to wash yourself?
Soap
The soap went in to my eye
Why did you put it into your eyes?
The soap went in to my eye
Go pick up the dishes
You like washing dishes?
You look really happy
It's bearable
This is just a temporary job
We still have to work on getting you a proper job
But it's okay for now I guess
DiDi
I have decided
Decided on what?
Decided
not to buy a piano
How old are you?
I am 27 years old
This is the best decision you've made
in the twenty-seven years of your life
A piano is pointless
Green light
See for yourself
It's not that bad
At least he can cover some expenses
Let him experience the working world
l think it's a really good start
Why don't you reply her?
Seriously though
have you considered patching things with her?
Do I look like I'm making money?
I ca n't even sort myself out
and then there's him
I'm not as lucky as the rest of you
I am tied down for life
A lot of things are unpredictable
But you are the one who is tying yourself
You are the stubborn one
You don't have a choice?
He has no choice!
Okay
I shall reply and patch things back then
Get married and have a kid
If my child is autistic
you shall raise him for me
Okay then
Carry on with your glorious single life
Spend the rest of your life with your brother then
Let's go
I'm done
Wen Guang
Done with your work?
Yes, I'm done
Want some fried chicken?
Yes, Tony
Fried chicken is tasty
It's late, let's go
See you on Sunday
Tony
Are you coming over for Mahjong?
You want to play?
No
I want to see all of you explode
Okay
See you on Sunday
Cut your finger nails before you sleep
It's getting longer
Cut my nails
Buy yourself some breakfast tomorrow
Where are you going?
The aquarium shop
I want to go
What for?
To get a fish bowl
You want to start fish keeping ?
Cool
Tag along tomorrow then
Thought you would never like what I like
You never like what I like as well
Do I look like I have a short-circuit?
If I like what you like
I would be the one washing dishes
Wake me up at eight thirty tomorrow
Hair algae cannot be solved with just plucking
You have to introduce some algae eaters in to your tank
What eater?
Siamese algae eater
Flying fox
What the fox?
Follow me
Go choose a fish bowl
A small one will do
These?
These are Siamese algae eaters
Put them in your aquarium, they will eat your algae
But please return them back to me once you done
Or else they will eat all your plants in your aquarium
Is it enough?
Trust me
You are my regular customer
I would never lie to you
ls it?
How much is it?
Forty five eighty
What do you want this for?
I need it
You don't need a syphon for such a small tank
I need it
It won't cost you much
Just buy it for him
Exactly
It's cheap
No thanks
I need it
It's cheap
Just use mine if you really need it okay?
You promise?
Have I ever lied to you ?
You did
You used up my
310ml silicone sealant
You said you would buy me a new one
But until now
Okay
If I break my promise this time
I'll chop it off
Chop it off?
I'll even put it in a box and tie a ribbon for you
Happy?
Now you are going to laugh about this the whole day
Tie a ribbon
Even though it's a tiny fish
it's a living thing
You must take care of it
When you feed it
just a tiny bit would do
Or else the water will get murky
Understand?
I'm talking to you
Yes, I understand
Enjoy your tank
while I enjoy mine
Okay
Minus your rent and the utility fees
You can have the rest
It's a norm to treat someone with your first paycheque
Cannot
Why not?
Trying to be calculative?
Fine, let's lay it out
Your fishbowl
Your fish
Your fish net
Your fish feed
and GST
comes to a total of forty-five
So would you rather pay me forty-five Ringgit?
Or pay for my ice tea and roti canai?
Take your time and calculate
Sir
bill please
Your orders were
two roti canai
one ice tea
one water
Six fifty
He is the boss
Thank you
Seriously though
You must save up your salary
Yes
Sorry
How may I help you?
I need a box
Okay
Three noodles take-away
Okay
Might take a while
Okay
This is the fifth
This will be the last one
Put the smallest one at the back
Wen Guang
Remember me?
It's you!
I had a big harvest
I went to a second-hand shop
and bought all these glasses
All of them can produce specific frequencies
Like this one
F
Accurate
And these?
733 C
659 E
1174 D
1 000
This is about 100Ü
Almost a C
You can hear them
Do you have perfect pitch ?
This is a problematic glass
to get an exact C
Then I'll probably have to
cut some off
Wen Guang
You should eat before your noodles get cold
Soba
430ml polyvinyl acetate
Good choice
Edible
Non toxic
Look at this
Might solve your problem
Please
don't speak Cantonese
You've been in Kuala Lumpur for so long
and still can't speak Cantonese
You truly suck
Your mandarin sucks just as much
I just need to know enough
to pick up some chicks
One circle tile
Guang
I know a few hot Indian chicks
Want me to hook you up?
No need for that Sheldon
I have a girlfriend
Girlfriend?
I have a girlfriend
Why don't you introduce your girlfriend to them?
Go
Yes
Introduce my girlfriend to them
Stop staring and carry on with the game
It's your turn , he hit one circle
I want the nine circles
One . . . Two . . . Three . . . Four . . . Five ...
Six . . . Seven . . . Eight . . . Nine . . . Ten
Explode
Explode my ass
Why don't you be a dear friend
and hit a tile that's useful for me?
I shall do that by hitting the Southern tile
You want that?
Wen Guang
Is this your girlfriend?
Yes, she is
Her name is Angela
She is 4 years older than me
So you prefer older women?
Older woman
How long were you together?
Fourteen years and counting
He says she is a Caucasian lady
Blue eyes and blonde hair
Caucasian lady?
Yes she is
Guang
I think you should just stick to her then
Do you want the Southern tile?
I know you want it
I'll pass
Hurry up I'm about to win
Ladies and gentlemen
Pardon me
Perfect game
How many points is that?
Massive explosions
Explode
What's the total?
RM 12.50
That little?
I'll be right back
How many have you stolen?
Sorry . . . let's talk calmly
- What's the problem? - Problem?
Your elder brother is the problem
He can't even work properly
and now l caught him stealing
Can you train this idiot
before unleashing him in to the wild?
Watch your words
My brother is autistic, not an idiot
You want to argue?
Let's call the police
Just take the glass back
Why are you fuming over such a small matter?
Are you teaching me how to do my job?
Why don't you teach your idiotic brother first?
Tell him not to come tomorrow
You don't have to as well
You think you are the boss?
Watch your back
Don't blame me if you get into an accident
I'll haunt you if I die
Why did you steal?
I tried so hard to get you a job
Just a dishwasher
and you made a big mess out of it
You could have told m e you wanted a glass
And I could have bought it for you
I won't do it again
Crazy woman
Sit
Let's rehearse your lines
It's not that DiDi
I don't want an interview
You are a jobless man
A man with no income
I have to pay for your expenses
Can you use your brain for once and think
why must you work?
What happens if I die one day?
Are you going to be a beggar?
Can't you just hold my sack?
Follow what I say
Learn your lines and get a proper job
And I will be off your back
Hold on DiDi
What do you mean by
hold your sack?
Hold
Hold my sacks
Why can't you
hold yourself?
Why not?
That is not what I meant
Can't you just follow what I say
and make me happy?
Why would you be happy
if I hold them for you?
You find that funny?
Go take a bath
and remember to brush your teeth
Hold them for you
It makes you happy
Better not
DiDi
I need acrinol solution
Why would you want that?
Because
I got into an accident
Show me
Right here
It's just a minor wound
Just clean it with water
It's not that DiDi
Without acrinol solution
it will get infected
It's in the drawer near the TV
Do you want a speedy recovery?
Yes I do
Then don't apply
drink it
l can't do that DiDi
l would die if I drink it
l'm amazed you know that
Yes
l can't find it
So troublesome
Why is your bicycle here?
It's not that DiDi
Cycling
is dangerous
I don't want to die
Sometimes I really don't know how to talk to you
Don't leave it here even if you don't want it
I don't want to see it here ever
It's you!
Thank you for teaching me how to cut a glass
l can now tune the glasses accurately
Because most glasses have curved bowls
l can now cut them and stack them together
Biggest to smallest
Lowest to highest
Thank you so much
You're welcome
What is this?
Interview lines
My younger brother wrote them
That was your interview line?
Wen Guang
When you go for interview
remember to look into the eyes of your interviewer
So why are you collecting glasses?
Because they are all white keys
They can form the scale that l need
I'm short of 2
1 of them is a bowl
C5
The other is a tiny glass
with a diameter less than 5cm
Depth less than 4.5cm
It must produce the frequency of 1976hz
one octave higher
You just scared someone
B
Eleven o'clock tomorrow?
Yes I know
Okay
I'll make sure he is on time
Bye
Guang
Who is that chick in the bus?
Sue Ann
She's my friend
Met her a few times in the bus
You have a friend?
I have a lot of friends
Those squids on your bed don't count
They are not squids
Shut up, listen to me
I found another job opportunity for you
Go to a cafe at eleven tomorrow
You just have to do some simple tasks
Yes
Let's rehearse your lines
Where did you come from ?
I came from Rasa
Look at me
I came from Rasa
Do you have any working experience?
Yes
What job?
Dishwasher
No one will hire you if you say that
Just say
I did cleaning services for a pub
Say it
I have never done that
Can't you just pretend?
I
I worked in
Look at me before saying
I did cleaning services
for a pub
Let's start again
Seriously
If he fails his interview tomorrow
Would you consider
hiring him as a cashier?
He should have no problem doing such a simple task
It's not that I mind your brother's condition
I would help if I can
But as you know
My shop is far away
and I'm not there everyday to oversee
l wouldn't be able to keep an eye

But sometimes working overtime is necessary
I will inform you soon
I'm hired ?
We will let you know soon
What do you mean by soon?
Why
Why can't you
let me know now?
I'm not hired?
Wen Guang
Let me put it this way
I don't mean to discriminate against you
But as you can see
we are running a cafe
You will have to face a lot of people everyday
So I think it's not the best job for you
Very sorry
and thank you for your time
523
" RM 1,799.00 "
Did you say it like how I taught you?
Yes I did
I said
Hello my name is Wen Guang
I am 27 years old
Then you must have answered weirdly
when they asked you
Yes I did
l answered them properly
Then why didn't they hire you?
I don't know
What do you actually know?
Tell me honestly, did you go to the interview?
Can you calm down?
Don't you know your brother is different?
So you are saying I'm not trying hard enough?
How about this?
Work at my shop
It might be far
but it's an easy job
Collect money, return balance
He can do it
You are the one who said he can
Right Wen Guang?
Did you hear that?
You should thank the person who hired you
Thank you Tony
Eat Wen Guang
You better start working tomorrow
Thanks
Eat
Just 1 left
What do you want?
B
What B are you talking about?
There is B inside
These are just rubbish
You're crazy
It's all crushed
Go away
Sorry
I swear hi sis not bad guy
He is not stealing for the money
He is not normal
You stole these?
We can send you to jail for stealing
Sorry, can you please help?
You follow me to police station to make report
And you, you can stay
Can you give me five minutes please?
Come down when you are done, we'll be waiting downstairs
What happened?
I'm asking you what happened?
Look at me when I a m talking to you
You didn't go for the interview
and stole these instead?
I did
I went for the interview
You are lying
You obviously didn't go to work today
and you came back smelling like garbage
Where did you go?
What did you do?
Haven't I told you not to take what is not yours?
Don't steal
All I want is for you to be more normal
Why is it so difficult?
Are all these stolen?
I am asking whether you stole all of these?
No
Not all of them are stolen
You still want to lie to me?
I've tried my best
All these years
I've done everything
I could to the best of my ability
What more do you want?
That crazy woman was right
You are retarded
Did you get that?
You are an absolute retard
You didn't shed a tear when mom died
and now you are weeping over some glasses?
Not all of them are stolen
Time to eat
Come out
Come out now
I think
he will come back once he calms down
You are at fault too
It's not like you don't understand that he is different
You really crossed the line this time
l'm at fault?
I asked him to get a job
not to steal
and it's my fault?
You didn't need to beat him up
I raised him, damn it
I paid for all his food, clothes and shelter
I am at fault?
He would have died long ago if it wasn't for me
Can't you just calm down?
He is your elder brother
You think I want him as my broth er?
Because of this idiot
I am destined to fail my whole life
I can achieve nothing with him
Now he has run away
Great
He can do whatever he wants
I am happier than you can ever imagine
Fine
Let's celebrate then
Why are we even driving around?
The day has finally come
You are free
Just let him die
I'm sorry
Keep looking
He bought a hole saw and silicone sealant
He said you owed him that
He said he didn't like flowers
and kept staring at my doorbell
He bought all the fishbowls
Looked like he cried
You know how he acts right?
He would pick a bowl up
Make a few clicks
Say so me alphabets
and some lottery numbers
I never knew what he was saying
He then shouted at me
Scared me
Never met an interviewee like that
He left after that
Maybe
he went back to Rasa?
You said he took all the coins from the house
Maybe he used it to buy a ticket?
Back to Rasa?
It's possible
Your old house is still there isn't it?
Maybe he went back to live alone
without having to look at your face
Possible?
She is getting married
No one was living here
after both of you moved out?
There was
An uncle that I wasn't close to
And you never came back?
Why would I?
The things l am looking for
are obviously not here
Wen Guang's or yours?
Of course mine
You actually think he would be interested in this?
I thought you can only battle
with two devices?
Delicious
I'll have another one
I wonder how many times l have to tell you
Come here
Stand straight
Raise your hand
You heard me?
Haven't I said it before?
Do not leave the classroom during lessons
Haven't I?
Must I punish you for you to listen?
The other hand
Hurry up
What did you do?
I ran out of the classroom
Everyone knows you ran out of a classroom
I' m asking you
Why did you run out of the classroom?
To swim in a drain
To swim in the drain?
You thought the water was tasty?
Stupid
I am just kidding
Kidding?
You think it's funny?
You are the normal one
Your brother is different
You are supposed to help him
instead of bullying him
You are both killing me
You
I know you were gaming
This is all your fault
DiDi
You have grown up
remember
to remind your brother
everyday
to brush his teeth
I will
And
When you eat
make sure he does
make sure he finishes his food
Look at your mom
She is talking to you
From now on
you'll have to be the elder brother
When I fall asleep
I probably won't wake again
Mom
don't sleep then
And
He is neither a child nor an old man
He has the right to go wherever he wants
They cannot warrant an arrest
Let's stop talking
and keep looking
Let's go
Staying here won't help
If we don't find him today
we shall continue tomorrow
until we find him
They are still ringing in my ears
My mom's last words
She said
remind your brother
to brush his teeth
Remind him to bathe
Don't let him feel lonely
You were right all along
I cared too little about him
I never really tried
to understand what is in his mind
l don't even know
why is he collecting all those glasses
I never bothered
I don't even know where he is
"Only you can read the books you write"
"Only you can play the scores you write"
"You are laughing at the world"
"Wondering why nobody understands you"
"With torn pants you set out to the world"
"With only your personal pleasures in mind"
"Always smiling while building your world"
"A safe place in your own world"
"You are not a monster"
"Don't be afraid when shunned"
"Don't forsake your happiness"
"for the sake of others"
"Walk your own path"
"A path with no regrets"
"Don't be frustrated"
"Doesn't matter if you are a monster"
"You are not the only piece of abstract painting"
"Carry on mumbling to yourself joyfully"
"Woo"
"The joy you find in this world"
"I can only envy"
Excuse me
Are you Sue Ann?
Yes
l am Wen Guang's younger brother
I would like to ask
Have you seen him lately?
The last time I saw him
was three weeks ago
What's the matter?
He ran away from home
How did that happen?
He stole an expensive crystal bowl
The police came
I was furious
and threw his glasses away
When I came home that night
he was gone
I have been looking everywhere
Every possible place that he might be
Then I remembered he has a friend in you
and thought he might have met you
I'm sorry but he didn't
In any case he does
Of course
I will contact you at once if I see him
I will get help to look around as well
Pass me your phone
Has he mentioned anything about glasses to you?
Yes he did
Actually that is all that he talks about
Do you know why he is collecting them?
That I'm not sure
He only mentioned some notes
and frequencies
I'm not sure
This is my stop
Sorry to trouble you
It's no problem
Most important thing is to find him
Also
don't give up in finding him a job
I'm sure there is a way
He might be different
But I am sure there is a part of him
that the society is willing to accept
DiDi
You promised me that day
to lend me your syphon
You promised me
I need it now
You also said
if you don't lend it to me
you'll have to
chop it off
I need it now DiDi
It's in the same drawer, you can have it
Wen Guang
Head to this customer's home tomorrow
You know how?
Yes
Get a RM 1.40 train ticket
Disembark at Awan Besar
Take bus number 13

How's your progress here?

Help me out with this
What have you been up to?
Tuning pianos
Even a ghost knows you a retuning pianos
I'm asking whether are you on a big project
collecting stuff behind my back?
Not yet
If you do
you'll have to tell me
I will tell you
Your friend Sue Ann
What do you think of her?
DiDi
Amongst my many friends
she's the hottest
Why don't you tackle her?
I can't do that
I'm already with Angela
I am a loyal man
You understand?
I understand
I shall tackle her then
DiDi
Why would you do that?
Since you don't fancy her
I shall give it a try
It's not that DiDi
Think about it
One day
You will get married
If you had RM 10
by then
you will be left with RM 5
And after she gives birth to three babies
you will be left with only RM 2
When you go broke
do not borrow from me
There are things that you will never understand
no matter how much I explain
There are also things that you will never understand
no matter how much I explain
If I fully understand what you are talking about
I'll be the one having a short-circuit
Short-circuit
In my imagination
All my dolls
have gotten A for their Further Maths
Your younger brother said
you bought a scale for over a thousand Ringgit?
Yes
Isn't that overspending?
It's not, I need it
For what?
I need it for my glue
What glue?
Epoxy grout
Have you thought of modifying this camera
into infrared camera ?
No
I bought a secondhand digital camera
I then grinded a panel of clear glass
I took it to the shop
to remove the hot mirror filter in the camera
and replace it with my glass
to allow all range of lights to enter
I can then shoot infrared photos
and shoot everything with it
So these are an extra octave
No
