[uplifting music]

Are you excited?!

Yeah!!!

Cheers!!!

So I was really looking forward for this
holiday because I’ve been working so hard.

So we have a lot of plans for this trip.

We plan to go to the beach, to Danang, to Bana Hills.

We have a lot of plans for the weekend.

And so the next day I woke up, it was like,

my God, I look at the sky and I was like,
“what the fuck?”.

It's, like, storm.

It's literally, like, typhoon.

[sad music]

So what can we do, right?

So there's a storm, it's raining so hard.

So we decided to stay in the hotel.

Oh my God, look at this shit weather.

- Oh.
- It's a joke.

Oh my god.

It's a fucking rainstorm, dude.

What are you going to do today?

Well, I don't know.

What should we do?
Look at this shit.

Oh my god, it's raining so hard.

Well, we’ve planned the whole
going-out-to-the-city, and then doing

the beach and the pool thing.

What the fuck should we do then?

Let’s grab coffee first.

It's okay.

Sit down.

Adrienne... shit.

It's not my fault, man.
I can't control the weather.

What do you want me to do?

I'm not blaming you.

I'm just complaining, in general.

But I can’t control the weather.

What happened, Coco?

What happened?

And then that morning, as soon as I wake up,

Coco was like, having this bitch face.

I couldn’t, I didn't sleep well either.

So I'm bit grumpy

I couldn’t sleep that well, either.

You came back too late,
and so I went back to sleep first.

And she came back so loudly that I woke up.

And when you were drinking water,

you were also so loud.

- So I kept waking up.
- But what do you want me to do?

We have so many friends here,
and I have to hang out with them.

We were drinking.
So of course I have...

I have to hang out with friends, right?

Yeah, you could have been a bit more quiet

because I was sleeping already.

- It's Okay.
- Yeah.

No, but, I was so quiet, seriously.

- You were not quiet.
- I swear I was so quiet.

I was closing the door, so lightly,

you know, I didn't even turn on the lights.

No. Every time you woke up to drink water

you put the glass down.
So, I woke up three times

I finally fell asleep and she was like “Bam”.

And I was, like, “what’s going on?”.

And I fell asleep again, three times.

Last time was 5 am.
And I was, like, “Adrienne's drinking water again”.

You could be more considerate about this.

- Okay.
- Oh my god.

Just make some effort.

- Are you kidding me? I'm so considerate.
- Calm down.

- Calm down.
- Okay. Okay. Okay.

So today the weather is like this,
so what we're going to do next?

- A little bit.
- Yeah, I obviously... I don't mind

that I go back and sleep.

Maybe we just go back to the room

and do some girl stuff
and just chilling, chatting around?

What do you think?

We can do a bubble bath.

Just try to relax and make
the most of our holiday, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

Deal.

- Okay, Coco?
- Yeah.

All right. Let’s go.

[screams]

I was like, What's going on?

You know, normally, I'm a very peaceful person.

I don't want that much drama and stuff like that.

So that whole morning, she was looking at me.

She wasn't even talking to me.

She was having this
resting bitch face the whole time.

I'm not a confrontational person,
so I wouldn't really talk to her and say,

“Hey, can you just stick with the group?”

Because I know when I say that, she's gonna

have a huge argument with me
and I don't want that to happen

on a trip, right?

So I just kind of, let it go.

But so, well, what can I do right?

Cheers!

- Cheers.
- We can go out later, right?

Yeah, well, I think we should.

Well, because last night when we were in the room,

I heard a little bit of noise.

Gosh.
I told you, I'm scared of ghosts, right?

And before, when I went to Bangkok,

I didn't tell you guys this before,
but I was with my girlfriend,

and then all of a sudden,

we were walking on the street
in Bangkok, she was lagging behind.

And it's also July of the Chinese calendar,

which is the ghost month.

And she was lagging behind.

And also, when we went to the elevator, she kicked me.

She literally kicked me, I was like,
“what's wrong with you?”.

And she's normally a very chill girl.

And then she turned really fierce.

Aggressively?

Yes, aggressively.

And as soon as the elevator door opens,
she ran to the balcony.

I said, Where are you going?

So I want to jump off
the floor. Jump off the roof!

She wanted to commit suicide?

Yes, she wanted to commit suicide,
but she's normally a very happy girl.

And that’s when I was pulling her.

I was pulling her down.
I said, “don't go!”.

I had a little Buddhist bracelet.

So I knew.

I knew something was up with her.

And then I was holding her
and I slid my bracelet into her arms.

And then?

And then I kept holding her.

I was, like, “don't go, don't go!”.
I slipped my bracelet into her arm,

and I prayed. And then
after a while, she calmed down.

I had another guy friend who held her down.

And then, after a while,

she calmed down, also prayed too.

She normally prayed this Buddhist
prayer and I said “pray, pray, pray!”.

And I sat her down, so she prayed.

And then after a while, she calmed down and said,

“Oh my gosh, I didn't know what I was doing”.

I think she was possessed.

My God, I’m really so scared.

That's why I always want to share a room

with somebody because otherwise,
I don't want to stay in the hotel room by myself.

Yeah, I'm the same.

I hear so many stories like this.

So I think, maybe, let's go to the temple later.

Okay.

It’s quite spooky, yeah?

I like the temple anyways, actually.

- We should do some kind of ritual.
- Yeah.

Yeah, do some rituals and then maybe do some praying.

- It's kind of like...
- That’s a good idea.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, let's not waste the vacation.

Who cares about the weather, we can just go out.

Let’s go to the temple.

- Pray?
- Cheers!

[rain and thunder]

How much? Something like
that, you spend about 110,000.

In our five star hotel, it's like $30.

- Oh, really?
- Yes.

Pretty cheap.

You guys wanna try?

That pink one.

The pink one?

Yes.
You make it in a few hours?

Yeah.

4 hours.

Wow.

She works very efficiently.

Very efficient.

Let’s all try something,
because we're going to do the Qipao party.

We might do that Qipao Party in Hong Kong.

You wanna try it on?

You want to try?

Okay, Let me.

Thank you.

This one is not bad.

You wanna try this?

What you guys think?

I look like a Chinese empress style, you know.

Mine is the Qipao look, isn’t it?

- I think this is very you.
- Modern.

You should totally just get it.

It matches my nails and my hair, right?

I really want to do the Ching dynasty,

where you wear the

the big crown, the big head piece
and that we can wear super nice with this.

Just get a Vietnamese hat.

Then you just look like a Vietnamese person.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Like for Halloween.

You don't want to be Chinese?

I think it's more special cause
we can all wear the Qipao.

And then we can always remember,

this very special trip with this
shit weather, but we're still having fun.

Yeah, Yeah.

All right.

Let’s go girls.

Oh my god.

Jesus!

Oh my god. It was the
craziest rain I’ve seen in my life.

And they were so scared.

I was so scared that we can’t go back to the hotel

because we cannot even contact the driver.

Like, oh my God, I'm going to die here.

- Be careful.
- Ok.

Is everyone ok?

How heavy can this rain be?

Oh no.

Ah, wait!

Sorry, sorry.

Oh my goodness.

It's like a river in here.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wow. Wow.

Oh my gosh.

Okay, we can do it.

Okay.

Oh my God! Jesus!

Mommy.

Are they okay?

Be careful.

I don't know where the car is.

[rain]

Help.

Oh my God, I think this is the
craziest shit I've never experienced yet.

It is very miserable.

It was so bad because, literally,

the rain, the flood was up to my thighs.

Maybe I'm short, but it was up to my thighs.

I was literally swimming.
And seriously, everything was wet.

And I was worried about you girls
because you were behind me.

And I was like, oh my God, I hope everybody's okay.

Yeah, I feel pretty grossed down, too.

I know. And it was actually quite dangerous
because there are so many motorcycles.

And they were splashing all over.

And we couldn’t see anything.

It was so dark.

That was, I'm speechless.

That was quite something.
But at least, we're all together. Okay.

- I always find it funny.
- Yeah, it’s so good.

We’ll always find some memories.

We’ll always find some fun in the worst situation.

That is very true.

Make the most out of it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, we all go back together, and then let's drink.

What else can we do?!

[electronic beat]

- Hi Karen.
- Nice to meet you.

- This is my friend Adrienne.
- Nice to meet you.

There are a lot of women of power
that have gathered here in this event,

and we're all here
celebrating “Gigi” being the cover girl.

- Oh my God, you're the star tonight, Gigi.
- Well...

You're the cover girl.

Yes, you are the cover girl.

You're the woman of power.

That was my third cover
of an English magazine in Hong Kong.

I saw some of the photos.

It's like crazy. Oh my God.

- I mean, she...
- Crazy.

I mean, she can carry the look, you know.

She carries everything.

Let me tell you something about
the behind the scenes. Gigi is very busy, right?

We were, like, “you want to have a meeting
and talk about the looks?”.

And she was, like, “No”.

It was probably one of

the most difficult (shootings)
because I had this kind of

sadomasochist stylist
who just kind of put me straight to work.

He worked me like a slave.

And it was just constantly,

flash, flash, flash.

Ten hours, no water, no food.

Shoulders this way.

Feet that way.

And turn your head 180 degrees.

Yeah, that's crazy.

Wow.

New Cover, new cover.

May I please welcome, Gigi Chao.

[cheering]

Gigi is the first public figure who
speaks about LGBT rights in Hong Kong.

I admire her so much for that.

I'm here to say that true gender equality

will never be achieved unless
we find marriage equality

and the old traditional,
oh so many years, 50,000 years,

model of the male breadwinner
and the female homemaker.

If we don't rock this to it's core,

and we will rock it to its core,

we will not find true equality.

Yeah, I've always been the unofficial
village elder of LGBTIQ in Hong Kong,

but having the identity

as a woman of power, really helps
in getting the message through.

And that reminded me of my mom.

She always told me, “Gigi, you have to be a good girl”.

You have to be good and you have to make it in life

because you're going to protect Mama.

Gigi is on our December cover of Prestige.

Wow.

I can see that everyone is really inspired by her.

I even see some of them crying.

[relaxed beat]

Gigi Adrienne. Oh my gosh.

How are you?

- I missed you so much.
- How are you? How have you been?

- Not so good lately.
- What?

Can I have a drink?

So we get the usual?

Yes, of course.

Always the best drink.

I've been having some disastrous dates.

Seriously, I realize all men are assholes.

Okay, let's not...

Let's not stereotype or anything, but... Yeah.

Well, yes, just like I meet someone...

I try to open up to different types of people.

I met younger ones and they were very immature.

And then some older ones, cute ones,
but they flirt with everyone, you know?

So, like, … Yeah, so I haven’t been … But you're still,

you're still on the market, still
looking out, trying to hook up.

Yeah. So I kind of wanted to find somebody who can

be responsible, you know.

So you're looking for marriage material.

- Sort of.
- Really? Are you?

Yeah.

But you're restricting yourself to men
for the moment.

- I don't think so. I'm open …
- Oh yeah?

To different ideas.

What would you suggest?

To cross the pavement and try other things?

Yeah. Yeah.

Do you have someone in mind for me?

I might do.

Really? Okay.

- I don't know, but what's your type?
- I’m downt to try.

I don’t know.
What's your type?

- I mean, let's cheers first.
- Yeah.

My type? Okay, I'll tell you. I mean, you know... you know.

So yummy Lovely.

Yeah, well, so my type,

I want someone who treats me well, loves me.

But is loyalty important for you?

Sort of.

- I don't think I can do an open relationship.

Why not?

Can you?

I mean, theoretically, yeah.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Have you tried?

I would.

I would, but she tends to be more conservative, so,

without her consent or

without going on this together, I guess
there's no point, right?

At the moment we’re just exclusive.

- Yeah.
- Right.

I mean... that could be fun.

Could be quite fun though?

What do you mean? Open relationship?

Yeah, I think so.

Well to me, I think for human beings

that live 80 years, maybe even 100 years
to be exclusive to one person...

- Right.
- I don't know.

I mean,

the definition of marriage,
historically, has been like that.

But I think for people that live a long time,

we should be less stringent with
ourselves and some people

want to have a relationship.

Some people want to be exclusive.

And I think we should define new frontiers.

Right, right, right.

Let's say I'm open, why not, right?

You only live once, right?
Why don't you try different things?

Okay. Have you ever tried?

I think... the one time or the three time?

The thing is, I don't mind kissing girls.

Okay? But, I mean.

I always kiss my girlfriends.

Yeah, I know, but that's not the same.

Well, what's the difference?

- Sometimes I kiss my dog on the forehead.
- Right.

But that's not dating my dog.

- Yeah.
- So it's kind of not the same.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Let's try.

- Okay. Okay.
- Let's try.

I've never really dated girls before,
but I sometimes like to watch girls,

and I find them attractive,
so maybe I can give it a shot.

Have you heard of the...

the app, the kind of lesbian dating app, “Butterfly”?

No, I haven't, Butterfly?

Set up a profile and people...

I'm not sure if I want to put my profile up yet.

Okay.

- But I would...
- I think you will get a lot of hits.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Well, I still want you to...
because, you know me.

And then you would know
what kind of people would fit me.

So maybe... So do I support her dating women?

Yeah, sure.

She can try it out... but

I don't know.

Maybe my gaydar is broken, but
I'm just not getting the vibe from her.

She's still obsessed with muscular men

and very nice torsos.

So, yeah.

Good luck, lesbians out there.

And I'm so proud of you for doing all this.

For doing all this advocate work for

- LGBTI and
- Thank you.

- I hope Asia, Hong Kong will finally
- Thank you for your support.

- Have the...
- win marriage equality.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

[upbeat music]

Hi guys, everybody is here.

Hi. Nice to see you.

- Your dress is so nice.
- Thank you.

I got this from Vietnam, look at this Lantern

Super nice, right?

- Yeah.
- Yep.

Cool.

Everyone is looking good,

wearing, the Qipao and everything.

I like this red lips with the white dress look.

It's really cute.

Partied crazy.

- It was the weather.
- It was the situation.

- Yeah Both. We partied crazy as well.
- The typhoon.

Yes.

It was a crazy typhoon and we were stuck
at the airport and everything.

By the way, this is my friend.

- Oh, yeah, hi. Nice to meet you.
- This is JD.

- Hi, hi.
- Nice to meet you.

Looks good. Looks good.

I mean, I like her hair.

You wanted me to bring some guy friends,
but I think I might as well

- bring a very cute friend. Introducing to you.
- Yes. Cute friend.

- Yes, JD, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.

Let's have a drink first.
Just to read the eyes.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

So my friends must be really worried about me

because they're are now introducing girls to me.

Well, I don't know if I really like girls, but I guess

I don't mind getting to know new people.

If you don't try, you never know, right?

Speaking about the next party,
we're going to make a vote today.

What's your fantasy?

We're going to make the next party about fantasies.

- It’s a threesome.
- What's the craziest thing you done?

The craziest thing I've done is a foursome.

Foursome? Oh my God.

Boy, girl, ratio?

Two boys, two girls.

So I've tried four.
I skipped three.

Where did it happen?

It was on holiday.

So I was on holiday with my friends.

- I mean, me and another guy.
- Were you guys on a blind date?

Blind date or not?

How did it happen? I want to know.
How does that happen?

I've never tried.

I met two girlfriends, like, randomly.

And then of course, we were out

in bars, drinking and drinking,
and then it was 4 a.m.

and then, bars are basically closed.

Okay, Where next?

I had a few to drink.

- So...
- Hotel room.

Let's have some more drinks at the hotel.

And then we got back to the hotel, all drunk.

And then one guy and one girl started making out.

And we're like, oh.

What do we do?

And then one thing led to another.

And then, before we knew it, it’s like, wow, full blown.

Like, he's there, he's there.

Wait, but how do you switch partners, though?

Like, you know.

- High fives
- Four together.

And switch.

- High fives?
- Yeah.

Sorry, I have a question.

Do you guys use condoms?

Let's be safe.

Safe.

When you switch partners,
you also switch another condom?

Something like that.

Yeah, yeah.

4P?

Yep, I've done it and I'm not afraid to admit it.

Actually, 4P is quite boring now that I've tried it.

You know what's even better?

5P, 6P, If you're a single girl

looking for a bit of 5P action,

you know where to find me.

Enough about me.
I want to know about you.

Matthew.

For me?

I’m getting excited.

I haven't done any crazy stuff.

Okay, stop pretending.

All you do is rip your shirt off and then he can share.

Stop pretending.

No, I'm kind of serious.

We didn't do anything like 3P.

- You haven’t done it?
- Oopsie.

Yeah. Yeah.

- Too nervous.
- No.

Back to you.

So you haven't done a 3P?

- No, I haven't.
- But you've done an orgy?

No, no, no.

You said something about the A-word.

A? Oh...

A-word. Oh... The anal one.

Oh... No, look, we were just talking about that.

We haven't actually done it.

So is that your fantasy?

Yeah, fantasy.

- So you haven't done it before?
- No. I haven’t.

Have you done it before?

I’m so surprised Matthew has not tried anal yet.

Hey, Matthew, I heard a little something...

Adrienne likes anal, so... Yeah, try it out with her.

My fantasy?
It's about the place.

Like here?

Yeah, because... No, no, no, no.

Not here. It’s because I've
opened nightclubs for a while, right?

But I always fantasized
having sex in the nightclub.

- Oh my.
- Ohhh.

- On the dance floor?
- No, no.

- The bar?
- Bathroom?

Pool table.

So, it's about the place.

Because you are tiny,
so you just imagine a guy, “boom”.

Twirling around and stuff.

You switch off all the lights,
then you can't see, right?

Well, let's think about it.

Find her a guy first.

Yes, I have to find one.

I don't do one night stands. Sorry.

So it has to be a a guy that I'm dating.

Never?

Never.

[laughter]

Let's play that game next time.

Never have I ever.

I’ll prepare some good games for you guys.

Hang on. So we've talked about us
so what about you guys? Come on.

- Me? - Yeah.

The craziest thing you've done, Mayao.

My fetish is...

I like a little bit of choking, actually.

But choking is easy, though.

I can just choke you like that.

- Oh, I’m turned on.
- How's that a fantasy?

As in, you choke?
Or you get chocked?

- You chock people or chocke up?
- Both.

Any, yeah.

That's easy.
Come on. Okay, using like what?

What do they use to choke?
Your hands.

Hands, what else?

No, you can use ropes.

- Oh no, that's too hardcore.
- Leash.

I've never done it.

- Maybe, it’s a good idea.
- Stop pretending to be innocent, okay?

I'm not innocent.

Stop pretending to be innocent.

He's the one who's trying to be innocent.

Matthew, come on, I don't believe.

I don't believe you.

I don't believe him too.

I didn't try it. Really. I’m serious.

Really?

Should I believe you?

Of course. Then you're much
better than Perry then.

I guess so. right?

How about you, JD?
Do you have any?

I don't think I have. Why?

I'm the one who's the most innocent here, I think.

Really? Oh stop pretending.

- The girls haven't spoken yet.
- Okay.

Maybe I just want to try with boys.

With what? - Boys. Boys?
- Yeah.

That’s easy.

I haven't dated a boy before.

You have never dated a boy?

And you want to try?

- I don’t know. Maybe.
- You want to try?

I can fulfill your dream. It’s easy.

I mean, I've got loads of guy friends.

Let's go to the next one.
Let’s pass it, okay?

This was supposed to be a setup for you, by the way.

But anyway, sure why not?

Sure. Why not?

- That’s your dream.
- Or you guys can have a threesome.

Oh my God. Stop it.

That would be so cool.

- Stop it.
- It’s not true.

Right, right.

Maybe 4.

Skip the three, go straight to four Yeah.

Perry is like, “I want to volunteer”.

Right.

Cheers guys.

And Boo to those who
pretended to be innocent. Boo!

[chatter]

- Hey. - How are you?
I just see you standing here by yourself.

Cause I'm waiting for you. Adrienne.

That so sweet of you.
I really like your hair.

Thank you. I like your style, too.

You’re looking way more attractive
than I thought, you know?

- Really? - Yeah.

Do you like my hair today?

Of course, it’s cute.

I'm trying to go for the Chinese Chun Li look.

I think...

I think you haven't dated girls before, right?

I think you look really good, to be honest with you.

Like, seriously, I love your hair,
I love your look and everything, but

I haven't dated girls before.

But I think we can hang out.

I mean, I'm very adventurous.

I don't mind, hanging out and stuff

Just the two of us or?

- Sure. That would be cool.
- Yeah. Okay.

I love it. Yeah.

So that we can do something like that.

You are so charming, you know?

So sweet, thank you.

I think we can maybe go out and do something active.

- Do something... like, only us?
- Yes.

Okay. All right. So, I see you.
Let’s find something.

- Okay? - Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye bye.

Wow. my God.

You guys are finally here.

I know. It's
been such a long flight, right?

Yeah, it was long. Actually.
I thought it was.

I don't know. I didn't realize
it was so long. From Jakarta.

Well, we had a long night.

We had a long layover, so we've been.

Nervo, They're twins, and they're one
of the most famous DJs of all times.

I love them to death.

They're super cool, super fun, super chill.

And I love bringing them
to show them around in Hong Kong.

They've literally worked with everybody from

David Guetta, Miley Cyrus, Armin.

Pussycat Dolls and so on.

I love their music.

And I knew you guys would be hungry.

So I brought you guys some of your favorite.

Your favorite. Okay.

Yes, your favorite dessert.

These are like, you know, the egg rolls.

Egg rolls. Like, these are like the
most local Hong Kong stuff. Yes.

And these I'll tell you, these are like the wife cake.

But so basically, it's like I love Nervo.

The girls are so chill and
they really, really like Hong Kong.

So every time they come, we'd hang out on the streets

and get street food and get really local food.

And we also plan to meet up at Tomorrowland,

which I really want to go this year.

I'll tell you something. Right.

I'm going through egg freezing.

Great.

We done that in the U.S.

I've done it three times.

Are you serious?
Is this So I'm like freaking out right now

because you have to stick the needles.

And are you injecting. Right
now? I'm not.

Because, like, you know what the doctor told me?

Because I just consulted them
and then they were like,

you have to drink less
and... Yeah, yeah,

stuff like that.
And I was like.

You know, No, you should do it.

No, but then the thing is, you know why I'm freaking out.

You know,

my friends told me that if you started injecting,

you will get bloated, Bloated.

And then you would get
this hormonal, like, emotional.

No, no. Run.

I found it. I did.

We did rounds eight years ago,
Like, quite a long time ago.

Maybe even longer.

Like we were the youngest at the clinic to do it.

And that time was very different
feeling for me because it was like

fun was like getting an insurance plan.

This is great. I'm very glad they show
their egg freezing experience with me

because I know that I might gain weight

I have to stop drinking for a while

and I have to stick needles
in my stomach for so many days.

She's had an awful, awful personal story.

Yeah, I had a horrific break up where I found out

when I was six months pregnant
that my partner actually

had a wife, two children in another country.

Well, yeah, they weren't married officially,

but he had two children with another one.

Yeah, he had two.

And I was with him for over two years and we were

And he didn't tell you?

No, no, he tricked everyone.

I went through a real meltdown.

So when Liv told me that her
boyfriend had a wife in another country,

I thought, that's totally ridiculous.

Unacceptable.

What woman can accept that?

No, but it sounds so strange.

I had this, like,

epiphany where my entire life
was focused, like everybody's

on finding partner, finding family
that, you know, 2.3 kids.

And then when you're thrown
into a different scenario,

you realize it's another way.

Or I know I'm just repeating myself,

but then you realize, actually
what do I need a guy for?

But we don't we don't

we don't need men that aren't going to be honorable.

Yeah, I don't need yeah.

We don't need bad men.
You need good men.

I know that it's all real.

All women have to go through it.

And, you know, it's just a pity

that men don't know what we have to go through.

I think there are some men also that get

a hard time with bad women as well.

Yeah, I think that that definitely happens.

There's a lot of men
that are raised by single mothers.

Like tonight we had someone

and we were just talking to him
and he's like, I don't know my dad.

And we're like, I was like, That's okay.

My daughter has never met her daddy
and he was super cool.

Yeah, he's like join the club.

I am proud of me seeing a grown man
respect and love and talk

so highly of his. I am. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.
Those man.

We gonna find those men.

Do you think we can find them tonight?

Maybe. Hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Actually I thought woman can handle
both career and family well,

but actually, I think they might be right.

When I have a kid,
I actually might put family first, too.

[indistinct chatter]

[pop music]

How you feeling, Hong Kong?

Wow. Wow, wow.

It's been so long.

Since we've been here.

You have us for the next 75 minutes.

We want to feel that good

Hong Kong vibes in the house right now.

Is it the way we feel world in Hong Kong.

So what's the rush?
What happened?

Yeah, you have something to announce?

Like, Gigi is even out.

I asked everybody out today.

I know.

- I made a decision.
- About the boy?

The boys?
Get out of the picture!

- Seriously.
- Any particular boy?

- Are you getting married?
- No!

I am finally freezing my eggs.

Okay.

- Yes.
- Okay. Yeah, do it.

- A lot of my friends are doing it.
- It’s normal.

It's a huge process.

I know, I’ve heard a lot because you have to
stab yourself with needles.

- A whole month, right?
- Yeah. For 20 days.

For on of my girlfriends, it's her ninth day today.

- She's been doing it.
- Right.

So I heard, you have to really go through a lot.

And I heard the eggs will die very easily.

Like, the doctor will call you and say,

“hey, your eggs just died”, and
you'll be, like, “what the fuck!”.

How many do you have to freeze, usually?

For a good chance at fertilization,

- you need 20 eggs.
- Wow.

I don't think I have 20 eggs right now.

Well, that's what the hormones are for.

That’s why you inject yourself

with hormones to produce the eggs

So how many times did you do it before IVF?

- So, you’ve done it?
- I've done it.

I did it about four times.

Four times?
So it took you four months?

No, separately.

Yeah, a few months.

So it's really up to Adrienne whether she thinks

she's ready to be a mother
because I've had plenty of other friends

who are single mothers by choice.

With all the modern conveniences,

it can be done and the kids are lovely.

The relationship

between the mum and the child
is really close, but it's really up to her

because it takes a huge part of your life
and there's a huge change of lifestyle.

One of my friends did it.

She gained a lot of weight Did you gain weight?

I didn't gain any weight,
but it really puts your emotions into move.

Yeah, I heard you go through
emotional rollercoasters.

But usually, if you have time,

you should detox yourself and chill...

And no more drinking.

She's, like, I cannot.

It's like, oh, that’s the thing.

Parenting isn't what it used to be.

Nowadays it's pretty demanding.

I'm not sure she's ready to be a mother
in her current state right now,

but who knows, maybe when one pops out of the oven,

she just steps up to the plate and

domesticates herself.
Who knows.

If you freeze your eggs,

then you should at least find a sperm donor

to fertilize the eggs,
because the chances of a fertilized embryo

surviving after freezing, is much higher

than just freezing x numbers of eggs.

So you use it to fertilize.

But will that be the father then?

Well, we call it the donor.

So whether he's the father, depends on
whether you want to have a relationship

with him, right?

If you’re going to have a relationship
with him, then you don't really need...

- I don't know, it’s a complicated topic.
- Do you have a sperm donor?

- I do.
- Oh, you have it already?

Yeah. Yeah.

When I did it...

But I'm a lesbian, so I'm different.
I have one less thing to consider.

How will your kid handle it?

How are you going to explain to him or her?

- You have to decide that.
- Oh, my dad's a donor.

His name is Paul.

That's not really how it works.

I mean, you can make...

I totally disagree with Gigi because

why would you raise a kid by yourself?

I know how hard it is.

Does she know?
She has no idea.

You should have a family.

Have a family or a lifelong partner

What if she's not ready for that?

Maybe she doesn't even want to wait any longer.

- She wants...
- It’s not fair for the kids.

It’s not a healthy thing for children.

I think it's not fair for the kids.

So you need to make a decision, girl.

Okay. So, you're saying that if I don't find
the sperm donor, the eggs will die?

- They won’t die.
- They have a lesser chance to survive.

Janet is normally a very mellow,
a very gentle person.

So for her to say, “I disagree with Gigi”,

I was honestly kind of shocked.

But then again, I was thinking, she's doing this for me.

She wants me to really think about it,
really make a good decision about what

I really want to do.
So I really appreciate that.

Are you sure you have
enough to raise it all by yourself?

Wait. Hang on.

You're allowed to raise a kid as a single mother.

You're allowed that, and
as long as you make that decision,

fully lucid, not under the influence,

you're allowed to raise a kid as a single mother.

I know, I know.

She’s saying... A single mother is usually

when your husband leaves you,
and you become a single mother.

No, that's so last century.

I agree.

Right. But you are allowed.

You have to make a conscious decision.

Don't just like, oh.

So, I Have to be the dad and the mom?

No, you're the mom.

But if I find a sperm donor, then I’ll be also the dad.

No, no. You are not a dad.

But what is your baby’s last name gonna be?

- My last name.
- Yeah.

- Duh.
- Duh.

Question answered. Next.

For Janet. She was very against this idea,

which I actually do understand,

because it will be very, very hard
for Adrienne to raise the kids on her own.

But then, I would think that

if she doesn't do this, she would probably be alone

for the rest of her life.
Especially, because of her personality.

She loves to party,
she loves to be surrounded by people.

What if when she gets old, people
around her don’t party anymore?

It will be very sad for her.

So I think for her to have her own family,

it's not a bad idea.

- Do you want to be a single mother?
- Yeah.

Or do you actually want a husband or wife or partner?

It’s not easy.
I'm the one with two boys here.

It's not easy.

Do you think you can raise
your kids without your husband?

- No, no.
- Why?

There's always, another way or a way, you know?

But I don't agree with getting divorced.

- I don't agree with, you know?
- Of course. Right, right.

But I know Timmy, he's always away for work.

Yeah he's never here.

So is it hard?

Are you taking the father’s role as well?

Not easily.

- And I have to take care of his mom, my mom.
- But you survived.

Yes, I'm okay,

but at least he's making the money
and I don't have to go to work.

- Right.
- And that's the thing with Chinese familie.

You have to look after
the elderly people and the kids.

- Oh yeah.
- Yes.

And it's so strenuous on the people
in the middle, right?

People and...

- Shit, I forgot.
- You forgot your parents?

You know, when you become a mother, you will actually...

- I seriously forgot to tell my mom and dad.
- You will appreciate it more

with your parents and you will
actually want to spend time with them.

And you know who ends up
taking care of your kid the most?

- The grandparents. Yeah.
- The grandparents.

They will love it.

So, yeah, problem solved.

A lot of people can help you,
but I'm just saying, it won't be easy.

It has been done.

Single moms do exist in this world
and they raise really good kids.

But, are you prepared to give that?

Are you prepared to give that 100%?
Because you're giving 100% to your work

and now, are you gonna kind of shred
that part of yourself for other things?

If you want kids as soon as possible, then just do it.

If you're going to be, like, okay, I'm going to spend...

Can you go to the toilet and give me some sperm?

Oh, gosh.

Maybe not today.

I'll think about it.

Yeah, but if you want to find the love of your life,

if you have ten years time, then take your time

But no, what Gigi is said is, that the eggs

would not be able to last so long.

How long do they last?

They last a long time.

When it fertilizes,
some of them die on fertilization.

Yeah, yeah, so not all of them fertilize.

All of your ages...

- time is ticking, right?
- Oh, I know what you mean. I get it.

So if you are a young...

- Now you get it?
- No, I get it.

If you are a surrogate

and you are 25 years old, then you...

- You can freeze when it's fertilized.
- Yes.

Freeze the embryo. Yes.

- Okay, my gosh. Three hours later.
- That makes it so much easier.

You are just now understanding?
What's wrong with you, Mayao?

I think I was...

I cannot believe, I didn't know that before.

I didn't know you can actually fertilize the egg

and then freeze it.

Embre? Is this, what it’s called?

No one ever told me that.

So, sorry.

Thank you, Gigi.

Thank you so much for teaching.

Oh my God, three hours later! Hello?!

So there's no risk in the future,

when you fertilize with a sperm
that it doesn't succeed?

Right. But even as a fertilized...

Oh, so that's why you need the sperm donor now.

Sooner. Sooner.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

But even as an embryo, it's not 100%,
you could miscarry, it could just not take.

Right.

Let's just go party now and find you a guy.

I am down, let’s do that. Yeah.

I’m down.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

[electronic pop]

Oh my god. I always see them
doing all this crazy stuff here.

This is the “Can Now Road” fly over.

And we are finally here.

I've seen this since I was young.

- When I was little, I always curious.
- My first time here.

Never been here?
Your first time?

I have never done it, you know?

Hi. Ok, thank you.

- Okay.
- This is for you.

What is this for?

This is “villain hitting”.

That’s for men and women.

I don't really think that
“villain hitting” really works.

But I guess, getting rid
of bad luck and stuff like that.

And if you were to ask me,
I really wouldn't put anyone's name on it,

because I actually think that's kind of mean.

The whole idea of getting the bad vibes around you

to be kicked away, having to filter all
the bad people around you, it's pretty cool.

I mean, whether you believe it or not,
there’s no harm in trying it, right?

Yes.

(speaks an ancient prayer in Cantonese)

I guess, is to get rid of bad energy, right?
Positive vibes.

Yeah. Good vibes. Good vibes.

(speaks an ancient prayer in Cantonese)

I can't believe we went.

It was super funny.

I remember, when I was young,
I would watch TV shows and there would be,

in one of those scenes, funny, funny scenes,

and usually an old lady would go for it
and then they would smack on,

you know, they write a name of someone
they hate, and they smack on it.

But I didn't know it would be so,

like, dramatic and loud.

Go away. Oh my god.

Wow! It’s so mean.

(Chants an ancient prayer in Cantonese)

Aren’t you glad you didn't write any names on it?

- I would feel bad the next day.
- Good vibes only.

It’s that sacrifice to Bai Hu?
To let it eat the villain?

Wow. It was such a different experience.

The whole idea of having a name of a person,

and then you actually hit on it,
and then you pray that, hopefully,

that villain will be kicked away from you.

I think it's such a cool idea.

What about, we organize another

50 people boat party?

Okay.

- Right?
- Let’s do it.

We can organize that.

But how many guys are you going to bring?

- Me?
- At least a hundred!

I'll bring, like, 10.

- Okay, but, wait.
- Hot guys.

But what’s the theme of that, though.

Quality is important.

- Since you are freezing your eggs.
- Right.

So this is your sperm donation party.

What?! Wait hang on.

Mayao, wait, hang on.

I think you should find a husband and get lucky.

Ok, I’ll find a husband.

She might find a husband on that party too.

But I want to ask.
Okay, We do it.

Let's say we really do the sperm donation party.

How are we going to test the sperm?

You figure out yourself.

- So, I said, find a husband.
- That's the whole point.

- I mean...
- You can taste it. You can...

I don't know.

Mayao always has these crazy ideas
and it’s always stuff, like,

introducing boys and girls to me.

But if I were to get their sperm,
I would really have to check their DNA.

I want them to be smart.

I need to check their IQ.
