Home run is a movie that I just watched at school today. Well the movie is really, really, really good like the chinese drama I used to love before, "The little nyonya" and "Fighting spiders"

The little nyonya.;)

Fighting spiders

Home run.Pao ba hai zi.

Ten year old Chew Kiat Kun (Shawn Lee) and his little sister, Seow Fang (the wonderful Megan Zheng). The two of them live in an old kampong with their parents. With two school-aged kids and a baby on the way, their father tries his best to scrape by, working menial jobs to pay the bills. Although times are tough, life seems to be somewhat bearable, that is - until Ah Kun makes a costly mistake.      While picking up groceries for his family, Ah Kun accidentally loses his sister's shoes. For more well-to-do families, such a turn of events would be little more than a momentary inconvenience, but for Ah Kun and Seow Fang, the situation is far more serious. Since their parents are struggling to make ends meet, the two decide that telling them the truth would only upset the already shaky balance maintained in the Chew household. Purchasing brand new shoes is totally out of the question, so what can these two poor kids do to remedy the situation?      After several failed attempts to retrieve and/or replace the shoes, the two siblings stumble upon a solution: Seow Fang will wear Ah Kun's much-too-large shoes in the morning, and then sprint home so that he can wear them to school when he attends afternoon classes. Although the plan seems brilliant at first, it doesn't turn out as easy as they'd hoped. For one, Seow Fang's oversized shoes are a tad conspicuous, earning her ridicule from her peers and a scolding from her teacher. Even worse, Seow Fang's mad dash home proves to be more difficult than she expected, a fact that results in Ah Kun being late for school each and every day. Sadly, this perpetual tardiness earns him the ire of the school principal who metes out punishment on the poor boy on a daily basis. But fate smiles on the two kids when Ah Kun learns of a cross-country race in which the third place prize is a new pair of shoes. Determined to help his sister, Ah Kun enters the mini-marathon. But will he succeed? Yes! he did! ;) This movie actually was filmed in Kuala Lumpur NOT singapore. Besides setting the events in the kampong communities of Singapore's past,the producer also uses the contentious relationship between Ah Kun's circle of friends and a crew of rich kids (led by Joshua Ang which is really cute).The ending of this story is Of COuRSE a HAPPY ending! well, it should be!watch it!
