[dance music]

Cheers, everybody cheers.

That was crazy.

[dance music cont.]

Let’s go upstairs to our our private room.

- Three seconds. - You gonna make it even.

Three, two, one.

Wait, one more second.

Because you’re a guy. One, two, three.

Alright. You have to keep the head. Yes, very good.

You almost got it.

[woo]

Wow, you’re cool.

Janet, Janet!

I'm sorry.

He hit my ball.

You’re so good.

- For a second time. - Not too much!

We went to the club, and then we played beer pong.

Because I was trying to set up Adrienne and Matthew,

I was teaming up with Janet, pouring a lot of alcohol

into Matthew, but then, he even drank for Adrienne.

So I was like, why not pour more into him?

So I just kept pouring, kept pouring, kept pouring.

I think Matthew is a pretty sweet guy,

and I think

Adrienne likes that type of, a little bit of buff and so on.

I heard he has a six pack.

He’s a gentlemen.

And he was drinking a lot for her, too.

So I think she really digs these kind of guys.

- Okay. Thank you. - I’ll hold this up.

[cheers]

Oh my God.

No, no, no.

You have to go on a chair right now.

Come over here.

Oh my God.

- Yes, yes, yes. - Are you okay?

- I’m not. - Ladies first.

Ladies first.

Oh, you first?

No, let me do it.

- Are you sure? - Yeah, let me do it.

You've been drinking the whole time.

If you...

You have to take him home then. I'm afraid he can't go home by himself.

I will take care of him.

At least take care of him. Promise.

- I will take care of you. I will, I will. - Okay.

I got you.

Let me do it.

Let him do it Shit man, now I can’t get up.

Ready?

Wait, wait, wait. You have to have the alcohol first.

I'm here.

- Okay. - Okay.

This is not real, right?

One, two, three.

Alright, let’s go.

Oh my God. No!

- Hurry up man. - That’s it.

Are you okay?

- I’m fine, I’m fine. - Oh my God, thank you so much.

- Are you okay? - I’m okay.

You know, that night at the club,

because we party every single week, so it's just normal night for us,

but that night, I think all my friends were trying to target Matthew.

I was, like, okay, I don't know what they're trying to do.

Are they trying to test him or something?

But I sort of

give them more points, because I like a guy

who will help me drink my drinks, who’s trying to protect me.

And he was trying to teach me how to play the beer pong and stuff.

So it's kind of sweet.

I sort of like a guy like that.

I think Matthew suits Adrienne a lot.

If I give a percentage, I would give around 90.

Oh my God. You guys are monsters. What the hell?

That’s ridiculous.

Happy Friday!

Oh.

Alright, I take one more, yeah?

You’re going down.

No way!

Let me know when, yeah?

Alright, let’s go again. Let’s get the ball.

Alright.

Balls in place? Hey, man, what the fuck are you doing here?!

What are you doing here?

You are here tonight?

Wait. Can someone tell me what's going on? No, seriously.

Why are they on the floor?

- Because Perry just kissed a girl. - What?

And then he went to beat him up for you.

Oh my God.

Oh my God, I thought that was kind of crazy that they started fighting,

because, honestly, these two are really good friends.

I've seen fights so much, but for two good friends to start fighting,

it's kind of crazy.

I'm actually very surprised that Matthew actually

would beat up his own friend for Adrienne.

Is he really serious about Adrienne? Like, wow.

I was very shocked.

Then again, I kind of saw that Perry brought another girl and I was like,

“you have the audacity to bring someone to my club?”,

to bring another girl to my club and dance in front of me.

I think you have balls, dude.

For Matthew to get out and punch him in the face,

I kind of feel, okay, good job, Matthew!

What the fuck were you thinking, Matthew? Come on!

Like, attacking me from nowhere?

Adrienne and I, we're not even dating.

I have a girl.

I mean, I'm not even sleeping with her yet,

If you're unhappy with something, let's sit down.

Let's talk about it.

It was so dramatic.

And then Matthew went up and...

For the first second, I thought, “oh shit!”.

But then I was deep down thinking, oh,

something must be going on between them.

Let’s enjoy the beach, enjoy the sunshine.

Enjoy some coconut, and some pizza.

Oh my God.

- We have pizza time. - Yes, Pizza.

- You want a piece of this? - I’m fine, thank you.

- Nice. Pepperoni anyone? - I want vegetarian.

- Yeah, me too. - You are?

- Oh, no. - Ah, okay.

Okay, but let's think. Okay, Jacquelin.

- Yes? - You're not in a rush.

- But we still want you to be happy. - I’m not in a rush.

I'm happy now.

How long do you want to wait?

I don't know.

There’s is no timeline.

So tell us what you think.

What type of boys are you looking for?

I think she's looking for a guy not a boy.

- Right? - Yeah, a man.

- I don’t like young boys. - What you want, older boys?

- No, I don't. - Why not?

- She wants mature men. - Yeah.

- Not too young. - I think she's looking for husband.

- Not a boyfriend anymore, right? - Yeah.

- You want to get married again soon? - No.

Yeah, so a young boy might be better.

Why?

Well, handsome, six pack.

Someone who can be with you.

Someone who can hang out with you.

Is that the main reason, like, six packs?

That’s why you brought us here?

It seems like you're the one looking for six packs.

Why would we come to a beach during winter time?

I want to look for some six pack boys.

- Any 6 packs? - No.

I think she can maybe find a contracted husband.

Why?

What you mean by contract husband?

Yeah. Like, for example, you have all your criteria...

Contracted husband. What a creative term

Yes. Okay, let's say if you have this criteria:

I want him to be loyal,

I want him to spend time with me,

I want him to be in Hong Kong,

I want him to be a prince.

Hey, it's different.

It doesn't have to be a fairy tale, like in a reality world.

But it doesn't mean you have to pay something to buy it.

You got the point? Like, you have a very good life.

- It doesn’t have to be a fairy tale. - You need one?

No, I was thinking, no matter what, even if it's like a

good looking guy, a poor guy,

a rich guy or whatever, they would cheat anyways.

Yeah. If you kind of like, list out all the terms

and kinda tell them, okay, I want you.

I cannot cheat with things like that.

Yeah, but how about if they break the contract?

Do they get a monthly salary?

What's your most ideal

boyfriend, right now?

I think, actually, I don't have any idea.

I think all comes by feeling.

So what's the urgency to talk tonight?

Have you ever thought about a serious relationship?

Well, with someone like me?

Of course, I mean, I want to get into a serious relationship,

and I think, honestly, I think you're really, really cool.

- I think you're very charismatic. - Yeah.

You really care about me, you really give a lot of attention to me,

and I think you're really handsome as well.

I think you are very career-minded.

I mean, you're a good guy.

I really like you.

Are you rejecting me or ...?

No, I’m really not rejecting you.

I really think you're really cool.

I really think that we can be very good together,

but I know that we have some different views,

because I know you want your girlfriend or your wife to be with you all the time.

Probably to be around all the time.

But there's a lot of things that I want to do.

Do you think you can handle me traveling all the time,

because I still have my entertainment career,

my nightlife business that I have to do.

So do you think that you can handle me just traveling around

and doing all this work and not being able to be around you all the time?

I mean, that's a lot.

I have to think about it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think it's better if we think about it, because I better be honest with you

that there are a lot of things I still want to do,

instead of just telling you everything is okay.

- Yeah. - I got it.

I know you have different views and stuff like that.

Yeah, I got it.

I think, for this thing, it's better for us to talk about it.

I totally didn't expect she would reject me when I told her

I like her, because I felt she’s got feelings for me, too.

And somehow, our marriage perspective is totally different.

I'm a more conservative person.

She's focused on her career.

It makes me so frustrated.

Because I thought, I almost got her, already.

With Matthew, I really like his qualities and I think he really cares about me.

But I kind of don't have that lovey dovey feeling with him.

It's not that I don't like him, but it's just

I'm not too sure yet, so I just kind of want to take it slow.

It's not that I'm rejecting him,

but when I'm not too sure, I just kind of back off a little bit.

I mean, maybe I’m scared? I don’t know.

[gentle music]

Adrienne. It’s an enormous hike today.

It's a crazy hike, man.

Beautiful, though. Look at the view.

Yeah, I know.

It's a beautiful weather.

Hong Kong has got this beautiful landscape, hiking route and stuff.

So what's up?

I really appreciate you kind of coming to me with stuff.

- I feel lately I have been quite down. - Right.

Working in Hong Kong, there's so much stress.

There's just so much constant pressure and everything and sometimes it just gets me down.

I don't know. Have you ever felt that way as well?

Or not really?

Well, yeah, Hong Kong is such a cutthroat, competitive place.

Every time I'm in Hong Kong, I can't sleep well,

- like, literally, every night. - I know, me too.

And when I go back to L.A., I sleep like a baby, right?

Because I feel like it's so competitive.

You feel like you constantly have to do something.

Constantly.

Otherwise, if you're not performing then you get replaced or something.

- You get that, right? - It’s exactly how I feel.

Right now, with my clients, they are always keep pushing and pushing for more, right?

I feel like that's always the Hong Kong mentality where you always have to be

performing at your best, doing your best,

and they kind of squeeze as much as they can from you.

And it's super stressful.

I know.

And so I don't know, it's really nice to sometimes just get out here

and get away from the hustle and bustle and just be in this moment.

Yeah, I think it's important sometimes, we're so busy.

Sometimes we forget to relax and treat ourselves well.

There's something that I've been learning,

no matter how busy, the self-love is kind of important.

But I rarely have it.

- I rarely take care of myself, which is so bad. - No, it's very important.

And I think people always think that

physical health is so important,

but also mental health is such an important thing

that we need to worry about and take care of. Right?

Are you feeling okay, though?

Because I can sense from your energy that you're kind of down, low.

- I'm always super happy. - But you’re always, yeah...

usually quite happy.

Yeah, I don't know, I feel that lately it's just been

weighing me down a lot and brings me back to when I first moved to Hong Kong.

I don't know if many people know about this,

but when I first moved to Hong Kong, I had a bit of depression.

- You? You are always so happy though. - Yeah, ten years ago.

I feel, like, I've learned to kind of

go with emotion and be more positive in the midst of all the business

and the hustle and bustle.

But for me, it's been really tough.

I think, when I first moved here, I worked in the agency

- and it was really tough to... - Oh, they work you to death...

Literally. I worked till 1 - 2 a.m. in the morning.

Almost every night and start over again.

It kind of drains you.

It's really draining. Yeah.

And I think, back then, I didn't really even know who I was, who Tim was.

And I think in Hong Kong, you really have to be very self-assured

in knowing who you are or else

people kind of can kind of just knock you left, right and center.

I totally understand you, because in Hong Kong, it's just

you always feel like, everybody is pushing you

- to do something, or sometimes, I even - I know.

Feel ashamed to say it, because in Hong Kong, you always have to be working.

But then, when you’re not doing anything at all,

you feel like you have to beat yourself up for it.

Asking, why am I sitting at home?

- I should be working and stuff like that. - Exactly.

Having this is a FOMO Yeah, I definitely have FOMO.

I don't know what it is.

I feel it's the Hong Kong kind of the speed or what not that we're moving in.

It's like whenever you're here you always feel like you need to be doing something.

You're not doing something means

you're not moving with the city or with the pace of the city.

Just like for us, even for us to decompress at home.

We don’t just kind of turn on the TV and sit there. We always need something to do.

Yeah, It's that kind of pressure.

Yeah, exactly.

Do you ever feel that way? Do you?

Oh yeah. Are you kidding me? I feel FOMO.

Even when sitting at home,

there are so many things that are happening.

Because I do entertainment, events and all that stuff.

So there's always something happening and you feel like you just can't sit at home.

Or even if you sit at home, you feel lonely.

So it's kind of just like that contradiction thing.

And I think lately, because of all the work demands, it's been tough.

Especially because of getting a lot of pressure.

- Yeah. - Well, let me give you a big fat hug.

- Thank you. - You feel fine after a big hug, right?

Of course. I mean, come on, an Adrienne’s hug.

In Hong Kong you just need really good friends to stick by your side.

It's good that you have us as good friends, even though we might have arguments

- and all that stuff. - All the drama.

All the dramas, all the divas, or whatever.

- But feel free to talk to me. - Absolutely.

So, I'm glad you opened up.

But then I want to know too, how do you find ways of

decompressing or kind of get out of that negative headspace?

- Meditation. Yeah. - You do meditation?

- No, you don't seem like you do meditation. - Yeah.

Really?

I've been learning a lot more. Wow.

Wow.

- I just kind of talk it out with friends. - Yeah.

I sleep a lot.

Drink a bit, party a bit.

And I feel every day is a fresh start.

I just feel gratitude. I have gratitude over what we already have.

Feel lucky to have a lot of things.

Absolutely, I think a lot of the time is having gratitude

and being grateful for what you have and counting the blessings, right?

Yeah. I think a lot of time, being in the Hong Kong culture, you're

kind of taught that there's never such a thing as having enough.

You always want more. Once you achieve something

- You want something else. - Exactly.

That’s why I feel the city is driving people nuts

because once you get there, you think,

what to do next, and then you just keep adding it on.

Exactly.

It's just never ending.

- Yes. The whole the hustle culture. - Yeah.

We're taught that, you need to hustle and you need to do more,

make more money. And it's never ending.

Yeah. Constantly hustling, damn it.

- Well, I think that's what we're all doing, right? - I know.

We’ll just find us, party together.

- I think partying is a good way to reduce stress. - It's a good way, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Just to forget everything for a night,

- hang out with friends. - Exactly.

But I really do appreciate you coming over here and,

I don't know, just taking the time to listen.

To be honest,

I wanted to meet up with Adrienne because after that huge fight that we had,

I just want to make sure she's okay, that we're on the same page.

Things are okay again, but I'm just glad that we're able to finally move past that

and just kind of have a heart to heart just about what's going on in our lives

and just really taking care of our mental health.

- Good weather and an amazing view. - Beautiful, right?

Isn’t it?

Yes, very nice.

[upbeat music]

- Cheers, everyone. - Cheers.

So today, I wanted to invite my close friends to catch up and hang out.

I really want to say thank you to each and everyone who’s sitting here today.

Thank you for coming today.

And it's been such a great year.

And I would like to say, this year we’ve gone through

a lot of ups and downs, and I'm really appreciative

for each of you sitting here because

we've gone through a lot of things, and you guys have been so supportive.

I've been here in Hong Kong by myself, mostly,

because my whole family is in the U.S., and I’m still single.

So I’m just dealing with everything on my own.

And without your support, I don’t know.

I feel that all of you guys are such strong, amazing women.

And I'm so thankful to have all of you as friends.

And, it's just, I can't thank you guys enough.

Thank you so much.

It’s your birthday.

- You are always so much fun. - I really appreciate.

- We thank you as well... - Happy Birthday.

For Being our good friend.

I think Hong Kong is such a place where

so many people from all over the world, from the U.S., from Canada, from Singapore,

come to Hong Kong and they come here to work and come here to make money.

But at the same time, they come to find love.

Yes!

When you find love, if only they could get married.

- Hang on, I always want to ask you something. - Yeah?

At the time when you got pressured by your dad

to be married to a man, like, how did you feel?

Because for me, for us, outside of your picture,

we all know that your dad didn’t get married.

He will never get married. But for him to pressure you to get married,

what is that all about?

I guess that's what parents want, right?

Parents want this kind of traditional marriage.

It's almost, like, when I was growing up,

he kind of rushed me through my education and I went to university when I was 16.

And I guess that's what a lot of traditional Chinese...

No, but what’s this thing though? He didn’t want to get married.

But he wants you to get married.

I know, I know.

And he offered like what?

100 million for someone to marry.

- A billion. - A billion?

He would offer someone a billion.

Were you mad?

Have you ever confronted him?

Confronted him, like,

“Dad why are you doing stupid things?”, no.

Yeah, but, I mean, he does stupid things from time to time.

I guess they all do.

The Thing is, with her and her dad, they're very cute.

I feel like they are very cute. It’s a very cute relationship.

And I'm glad, he accepts it right now.

Does he? I feel so, which I'm going to ask him about.

Okay. You do that. - I’m definitely going to ask him about that. - You do that.

I'll be drilling him.

Why did you want Gigi to get married?

But you never got married.

I'm going to ask him.

Yeah.

Well, I guess, for the the parents, like, Chinese parents,

it's really difficult sometimes to accept

that their kid is gay or their kid is lesbian.

It's a bit of a shocker that you're different, right?

They never expect you to be different and they don't know what to do with you.

And I think, the conflict is, we search our whole lives for love

and we fall out of love, we meet assholes.

Yes. More about that later.

But when you finally find the one,

you only wish you could just tell everybody about it.

And most of all, your parents.

And you want kind of their blessing.

But for gays and lesbians, it's especially difficult.

So that's why I'm curious how you,

Mister, you did it. You did it.

You just came back from Singapore.

I just came back from Singapore. Gigi, thanks for that.

I want to shout out from the mountain top because

I'm in love and I'm going to get married in two weeks.

I didn't bring the ring, but anyways.

- Yeah, thanks to you. - Cheers.

I heard you have some crazy stories.

I'm dying to tell you what Mom and Dad went through.

It was very emotional because

mom sat there and I said, “Mom, I'm getting married”.

“It's going to be in Vancouver.”

“I'm getting married to Peter.”

She reacted quite badly at first, because she said,

“oh no, what's going to happen to the rest of the family?”.

To explain to her that this wasn't what was happening, I told her

how much I would cherish her support.

I told mom, do you trust me to be

honest and good, you know, to the people around me,

to my family. Do you want me to be happy?

And she said,

“yes”.

Thanks for this day.

It’s such a great story, oh my God.

It's just everybody is searching for love these days,

and it's so hard to find somebody

you really love and then to get your family support as well.

If you could get them to the wedding,

what would you like them to say or what would you like them to?

I'm playing this in my head, so it'll be the tea ceremony.

- The traditional Chinese tea ceremony. - Correct.

- Where you and Peter are kneeling down. - Correct?

- And why is that important? - Maybe you can do that in Singapore.

Afterwards?

Well, I can't get legally married in Singapore, but I can...

But the ceremony. Yeah.

You definitely need to do that.

You can’t get legally married in Singapore, but I'm going to fight for you

- to get it recognized here. Mark my words. - Thank you.

We need to embrace more of this traditional mythology of queer people.

But more importantly, I think we need to gain a deeper

awareness of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender.

So that people won't see it as a taboo subject

because, after all, everyone deserves to be loved.

Marriage is the ultimate symbol of acceptance.

And as society evolves and more people

accept the LGBTIQ, more importantly,

how can we express harmony

and diversity and embrace every sector of society?

I think that's what my work has been about.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Adrienne has an announcement to make. Come on.

- Say it. Tell everyone. - What?

Go ahead now, because all of you know that after I did

the Billboard charts, I got the top ten on the Billboard charts

then I came back to Hong Kong.

And I started doing a lot of businesses, you know, with nightlife, restaurants, bars,

and I loved that period as well,

but I kind of really want to find my passion again,

because I think that life is short right now.

And I think that people should really find their passion,

follow their passion, follow their dreams, and I want to find my dream again.

I want to do more for my acting, singing, and my movie career from now on.

So you're returning to the entertainment industry.

Yes.

All women should really feel that ambition and chase their dreams.

And I think to do that together with Adrienne is a real treat.

It's just like, a big step, because

I've been doing business for a while,

so, for me to do that again...

but we're doing good things, yes.

You will do great.

- Thank you. - Cheers to that.

- Looking forward! - Cheers

- Cheers, Roman. - Cheers.

You're late. down three glasses.

Sorry. Long day, but don't mind if I do.

- How was work? - Your sister just left.

I know, your sister just left.

Yeah. I’m really sorry to have missed her.

Work's been good.

It’s the end of the year,

so I guess just no matter how difficult things are,

everybody's looking forward to the holidays, so I’m quite excited about that right now.

So do you feel some kind of pressure living up to your family’s standards,

because your dad, your sister,

his brother, are so successful, do you feel kind of under pressure?

I mean, yeah, I do to some degree.

But I felt in a lot of fulfillment of what I've been doing the last few years.

And I guess the one thing I really respect from all of them is

even though, they've all worked together, they've also found their own way.

So that's what I'm doing as well.

I guess, it’s good because

besides finding your own way, you do what you love

and you also kind of implement into the family business, right?

- Yeah. - You kind of work with them together, right?

Yeah, down the line.

As long as you're happy, we'll be always supportive, you know,

because, I've known him for so many years.

And His whole family, we’ll always support you.

Yeah, being happy is most important for me.

Yeah. It’s the main goal of life.

Sometimes, it's not about money or business or career.

I feel like being happy is already the best thing you can ever have.

- And health. - Yes.

Of course.

Mind, body and soul.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Here’s to happiness.

- Cheers and happy holidays. - Very good. It’s a good one.

[relaxed beat]

What's going on?

So, you know why I ask you out so late?

I don't know.

You said something is important.

- Yes, it's very important. - About what?

There’s something I’ve been mentioning to you.

I have a surprise for you tonight.

What surprise?

- Surprise? - Yes. Surprise.

I told you a couple of times. There's a guy I want to introduce to you.

Hello.

- Hi. - Hi.

How is it going?

This is Hugh.

- Hi, I’m Jaquelin. - Hey, how is it going?

- Nice meeting you. - Girl, you're tall.

Yes, she's tall.

So were going to introduce me - Yeah. - A guy?

At twelve?

So yeah, it’s interesting with Jaquelin.

Adrienne actually mentioned her a few times.

Initially it was, “I wanna introduce someone to you”, but then she mentioned her a second time,

and then maybe the third or the fourth time, then I'm like, What's going on?

Should I really meet this girl? Is there a reason?

So it got me intrigued.

So that's why I'm here now.

The first one, dating app.

Then, two random guys, and now Hugh. Adrienne, what’s the next?!

And you know, he's an actor.

You are also an actor.

I think it would be a good chemistry.

- I mean, he lived in Taipei for a while. - Oh, really?

- Fun, fun. - Yeah.

And I think you guys are single, ready to mingle.

- Yeah. - No.

What do you think?

You guys can talk about some acting stuff.

You live in Hong Kong now?

Kind of. Yeah.

Yeah.

Or you just dropped by?

Yeah, dropping by.

Because, Jacquelin is a really cool friend,

and she's actually a very good girl.

Don't be intimidated by her height and by her...

- Oh, not at all. - You are tall, too, right?

I think so.

Yeah. Would I ...?

180. Yeah.

Okay.

- So you’re taller. Yeah. - Am I taller?

And Hugh is also a very gentle, nice guy.

So I thought it would be cool for you guys to meet, no?

Okay. Thank you very much.

He's also very passive, doesn't talk too much.

And so, you know, so do I.

You're not talkative at all. I'm sorry.

That doesn't connect with you, I’m sorry.

But yeah, so you guys talk a bit...

Do you guys mind if I go to the washroom for a little bit, just really quick?

- Yeah, sure. - Sorry.

Is it this way?

Okay.

I think it's this way.

Yeah, sorry.

Seriously? You have to call me out at 12?

- Yeah. - To introduce me to a guy?

Alright, thank you so much,

but I really have to work. I’m really busy.

As you know, I'm busy.

And don't call me up to introduce me to a guy, alright?

- Wait. - No, no. Alright, I'll see you next time.

Oh my God. Are you serious?

Yeah. I have to work tomorrow. Just tell Hugh, alright? Bye.

Yo, really, Jacquelin?

Where's Jacquelin?

I don’t know, but she left.

- Like, left left? - Yeah, she said...

- She does not like me that much? - No.

- It was kind of obvious she was not into it. - No, she said she had some emergency.

I’m sorry.

So she wasn't into it?

- I don't know. - Well, come on.

- Look at this environment, so awkward. - It's nothing against you. I don’t think so.

I'm sorry I feel bad now because I was just trying to introduce you guys

- and she left, and, well - Nothing against her either.

I've known her for a long time, and she's never stormed out like that.

I don't know.

So the first time she met me, she ended up storming out?

I was just trying to do a good thing to introduce you guys.

I’m just trying to do a good thing to introduce you guys,

I didn’t know it's going to be like that. Sorry.

It's not like in a natural environment.

It felt like an arranged marriage.

For me, too.

How is it an arranged marriage?

Nothing against you, I think.

- It’s fine. - I will talk to her about it.

I'm just trying to make my friends happy.

Maybe we'll meet again in a more natural setting.

- Like at a party or something, you know? - Let’s see.

- We'll see. - We'll see.

That was awkward.

I get that Adrienne has good intentions.

It's just her approach could have been better.

I was a little bit angry on that night

because she called me at midnight and told me something about an emergency.

And that I have to come out.

And then, when I came out, I knew, no, no, no.

And I think it's a bit awkward in the midnight to meet someone new.

And I didn't dress up. That's why I had to go.

Hello Dr. Cecil,

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

So during Chinese New Year, we always visit our relatives and elderly

to wish them a happy New Year because you always get red pockets.

I brought some Chinese New Year's must haves for you.

Sesame balls, some chocolates and stuff.

- Thank you. - Happy Chinese New Year.

Put it here.

- And this is for you. - Oh red pocket, thank you very much.

How are you? How is your New Year's, then?

Everything is fine. Good.

Good.

Let's have some dim sum, because this is a good turnip cake, right?

- Yeah. - I sent this over earlier.

The turnip cake is a must have for a new year.

Yeah.

- Let's try some. - Okay.

I wish you health and success.

May all your wishes come true.

Wish you the best of health in the new year.

Everything goes better than wished!

Hey, that's nice.

So one of my main missions this time is actually to ask

Dr. Chao if he except Gigi's current relationship.

And I'm really glad he does now, because I know it's very important for Gigi.

She's one of the most famous

lesbians and fighting for marriage equality.

Do you support her doing that?

I know, because you proposed people not getting married.

Do you feel Gigi should get married or what do you think for your children?

Well, I mean, she’s a middle aged woman now.

She should be able to decide whatever she wants to do.

Oh really? So you would support her?

Because I knew before, you wanted her to get married to a man.

But you're okay with her doing what she wants now?

Well, I mean, she is a grown-up and also,

she has to decide what she wants.

That’s sweet.

Not what I want.

Oh that's so sweet.

I think she was just waiting for you to say that,

because I'm really close to her.

So sometimes, she would share.

When she hears that from you, I think she'll be so happy.

So you would support her even in her fighting

marriage equality, do you think?

As I said, she has reached a grown-up age in her life.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, it's hard for me to decide what she wants.

So you support her.

That's very nice. That's such a nice dad.

She has to decide what she wants and

what's the best for herself.

Right, right.

So he changed his mind.

So it's a bit shocking

because previously, he was like, no, no, no, this is a big secret.

You should be ashamed.

We can't tell anyone.

This is terrible and shocking and we shouldn't tell anyone.

Now, it's shocking because he changed his mind

Either way, it's a huge step.

I mean, for parents, I talked to so many parents of gays and lesbians

after they've come out and a lot of them, express shock and

confusion, and even shame.

So, to see him say, no, you know,

I'm cool with it, she can do what she wants, is a huge step.

So let's see what becomes of it.

Because I also want to understand you.

Do you really think that you would never get married?

Do you think that's that's a good choice for you?

Yeah, that is a very good choice for me

because, this is a very happy life.

Yes.

A free life.

I heard you have over 2000 or 20,000 girlfriends, right?

Well, I mean, if you have my life,

you have a lot of different kinds of female companions.

Roman is your youngest child.

Do you think you want Roman to get married?

Or you also want him to be like you, and have his freedom?

Certainly if you're married, you will be more restricted.

In other words, if you marry,

you have lost most of your freedom.

If you want a free life, which is what I chose to have.

I have two sons, one daughter, three grandchildren.

Right. It is a good-sized family. Yes.

Yes.

We live a happy free life, which is the best thing in my life.

Right, right.

Well, you figure, if married,

you are restricted to your freedom.

But if you are not married, then

people cannot comment on what you do.

Right, that’s true.

So he keeps going on about, you know, he doesn't want to be bound to one person.

He wants the whole forest, not just one tree.

And to me that says, he takes freedom really seriously.

He really wants his freedom and he wants to do whatever he wants.

He doesn't want to report to anyone.

He doesn't need to coordinate with anyone or liaise with anyone.

So that's a very different point of view of relationships.

For him, he's just the king of his world.

He just barks out orders and people get things done.

So it's a very, very different, very different worldview.

But I also want to ask, now that I'm still single,

do you think I should get married or not?

- It's up to you. - Really?

But I feel, like, maybe the men might not be that trustworthy.

What do you think?

Your choice.

My choice? Yeah, yeah, I know.

It's so hard. I think that these days, men have so many different choices.

It's so hard to find one that's trustworthy.

No, there are plenty of man who are trustworthy.

- Really? - Yeah.

So you choose whatever you feel in your heart, and makes you happy.

That's the most important thing.

- Yeah, that's true. - Yeah.

You don't live for other people.

You live for yourself.

You always tell me something that's so smart and that I will always remember.

But you're right. You don't live for other people.

You just do whatever makes you happy.

That's the main thing. Yeah.

Yeah, you’re the best.

That's why I love hanging out with you.

I think we should go out to party again,

and to the boat sometime.

Sure. Any time.

I have two yachts.

Yeah. You can choose a big one, middle one or a small one.

Okay. To go out to sea when the weather is warmer.

Yeah, Yeah. Let’s go maybe next week or next month when it's warmer.

Anything you like.

See, that's why you're the best.

I always love hanging out with you guys,

and Roman and Gigi together, because your family is so happy

all the time and always partying. This is awesome.

Thank you so much.

We should plan a day for

going to a boat party together.

- Sure, anytime. - Yeah.

I'm coming back to L.A. next week.

I've got to interview some people.

Alright, see you.
