Speech of Silence~Episode 5

Kingdom deliberately showed Kenneth some of the things from his childhood, including a picture he had drawn of his family. Kenneth just held up the picture and tore it in half so that his father was separated from him and his mum. ‘Don’t you think the picture looks much better like this?’ he asked.
Kenneth brought cakes and biscuits to the Deaf Resource centre to apologise, but much to his surprise, everyone was already standing there waiting for him.



After rehearsal, Matthew offers to drive them home, but Kate said she can just ride with Kenneth. Giving her a chance, he says, ‘Oh, my car broke down, so can we both ride in your car?’ Matthew answers a call with ‘Honey’, and nosy Kenneth asks, ‘Is that your girlfriend?’ Matthew said: ‘Don’t think that, that was my mum, I like to call her honey. I don’t have a girlfriend.’

Kenneth made an excuse for Matthew to drop him off so that Kate and Matthew can have some ‘alone time’. Matthew turns on one of his favourite songs and Kate says that she really likes the song as well. It all becomes pretty awkward when Matthew just starts singing randomly along to the song.



After starting to work at the noodle factory, Herbert has made up all these advertising idea and a whole new bunch of strict rules, infuriating the workers. Chris leads them up to the office to protest and Kenneth tries to explain to them, but it was no use.

Herbert had asked Kenneth’s uncle to drive his car for a check up, but Eileen dragged him away and asked Chris to do it instead. Chris thought ‘time for revenge’ and bought lots of gross-smelling foods to stink up his car. Elaine and Queenie walked past and thought he was really rich and owned the car.

As Elaine was about to cross the road, a blind old lady asked her to help her across the road. She said: ‘Next time, 婆婆, I am in a rush.’ She ended up having to do so though, because her scarf got tangled with the old lady. Noticing how pretty she was and thinking she was nice for helping the old lady cross the road, Chris took a picture of her. As she walked by smiling at him, he smiled and nodded back.



Kate goes to Elaine’s room to borrow some make up to wear on the day of the play at the Deaf Resource Centre. (I think I will call it DRC from now on)
Kate: ‘There’s a performance, so I want to wear some make up to ‘see’ people.’
Elaine asks: ‘You mean to see 鍾Sir?’

OMG I have the same turtle phone charm!!!!!!!!! Actually, Roger had a brown one in D.I.E too!!!!!!!!!! Although mine only has the turtle and the colour is baby pink!
Elaine says that when you and your ‘other half’ are together and the heart flashes, then that means you two are 心靈相通.



At the DRC party, Kate leaves a slice of cake with lots of strawberries just for Matthew. Kenneth takes a picture of Kate and Matthew together, leaving out everyone else. At the end of the party, Matthew asks Kate to go to a movie with him. Kate stammered: ‘Wa-Watch a movie?’



Matthew says that he chose the movie just for Kate because it had less talking and would be easier for Kate. She seemed a disappointed and said: You didn’t have to do that just because of me.’ Same at the restaurant, Matthew asked to move tables because the noise made Kate uncomfortable. She seemed even more uncomfortable about what Matthew was doing though. As they walked down the stairs, Matthew’s heart-shaped bell phone charm started flashing, and when Kate checked her pocket, so was hers.



Seeing Matthew engrossed in his conversation, she left. At that time, Kenneth called asking her how the day went. He told her that he was at the super spicy noodle shop again and she said (almost menacingly): ‘OK, then I’ll come and see how you’re doing.’ It was Kenneth who had given the tickets to Matthew and Kate said she wanted to chuck the whole bowl of noodles in his face.



Kenneth found Claire’s son 小生 wagging school and looked after him. While Claire was frantically looking for him, Celine saw her and spread rumors that he was her son. Kenneth defended her, but little did the others know, Celine was actually telling the truth.



Kingdom finally found out where Lau Dan lived just as he was getting kicked out. She saw that he was limping badly and took him to her house to live. Kenneth came into Kingdom’s house just as she and Lau Dan were coming up. Kenneth was looking at a photo of him and his dad when he saw the door slowly open...



I want to watch the next episode now, just so I can find out whether he meets Lau Dan. But I don’t think so, besides, even if he did, it would be really cliché, with Kenneth ignoring him and refusing to accept him at first. Then he’s going to say ‘阿爸!’ and all that. Lau Dan will then probably say something like ‘What did you call me?’ Well, I hope that doesn’t happen, it’s just so overrated!
