I don't get what is so funny about not having parents. It's more embarrassing when a person has parents but still acts like a brat.
Ikr
People can be stupid
Lol ikr. Kids now days don't really make fun of people who don't have parents Cuz it's horrible to do that
Children are cruel.
Yea, ikr
Grandmother sacrificed her life by not spending money for her medicine and buying her a walkman instead
I get it :(
LiverBirdHD Yeah...
my mom and dad passed away due to a car accident while i was just 2 .. but still , im blessed having a grandma whos willing to take care of me :') . R.i.p Mom And Dad 😔 .
I am really sorry to hear that

So sorry to hear that

So sorry to you I feel sad I cried everytime watching this
My Ah Ma used to say a lot that she wanted to buy me Crepes if she could afford it. One day she actually made them herself, not the best Crepes I had ever eaten but she tried her best and I really loved it. Wish I could thank her enough for everything she did to me out of her limits, and maybe have a nice chat I could never have with her. R.I.P 婆婆
i'm sorry to hear that
thanks :)
Aw im sorry to hear that, your ah ma sounds like a fab person and i wouldve loved to meet her :)
+Qian Yi Tan he already said R.I.P
Heck Yeah d
I really cried in this episode. Great job treepotatoes. Actually the reason why i cried was that my grandma is 90 years old this year. I'm really scared she will leave me. This video reminded me of my ah ma. I love her alot. Why is this world so cruel to bring away my loved ones. :(

This made me laugh out loud IRL. - Aaron
.
How sad, I cried from the part when the grandma does everything on her own to the end where she 'died' 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 it seriously sad! So if any of you are saying bad things and how they should improve and stuff, please be responsible, it is hard to film so don't insult! 😭😡
she's old, what do you expext? plus, in Singapore, old people are always insulted when they are working, cause their old so they are kinda slow when working Toy Bonnie The Bunny
I know right.The ah ma gave her life for the girl
Completely agree
agree!!! it doesn't matter whether the shooting was professional or noob... as long as the feelings and emotions are able to touch the heart if others means it's a success...
While this 8:48 minutes video was playing, memories of my whole life was playing in my mind.
I cried at that part too... 😫😫😫
this made me cry honestly

You were our target the entire time. lol
TreePotatoes omg u replied I'm a huge fan I love this video it's very touching :')
My Ah Ma/婆婆 also cared about me a lot,but she passed away when I was at my school,I always betrayed her,now I feel very saddened RIP Ah Ma/婆婆.This video actually made me recall all my memories with her..wow!but tree potatoes u should'nt upload on TH-cam hehe
Love this! Really nostalgia and touching :')
Thanks Jaze!
Give me ur phone number
LJJ what?
The Subtext of this video really makes you ponder about the sacrifices your parents/elders made just to make sure you are happy....
To those who criticize this short film, seriously man.... at least they do their best to evoke emotions and entertain their viewers and not just show a hot babe in her bra like wah banana and other youtube channels that make people horny.
Tree Potato i applaud you. Even though its a predictable film, you don't make films to draw views but you make films to draw emotions, that's something i feel is so great about you guys !!:) keep doing what you do best
This video not for TH-cam. This is Vimeo standards. Haha
Hahahaha, sorry we go upload there!
Seconded!
My grandma past away from a car accident and watching this really makes me realize how much she meant to me. Please, tell your Grandma that you love her and spend all the time you can with her. She'll treasure it more than anything.
Liek if u cri evrytiem
I cried
Saw this comment and cry in real life
+xInferno_ no more faith in our world's education can go online cannot type like correctly
+Teh sit gee It is more worrying to see someone so uptight and rigid about spelling on Internet. This was a joke, also known as a meme, and if you don't get it, well you don't spend much time on the web.
same
Anyone else living outside their home country, wondering when they'll see their grandparents? Or worse... how much they'll get to see them overall before they die. Cuz you know you're not moving back next year, nor the year after that.
I cried to this because I know my grandparents will be gone soon too... ):
Spend the most time with them. I need to too.
same i cried so hard
This touched my heart and made me cry even though I have watched this a lot of times. Just makes me care about my parents more then usual.
[HAZ]Teddy yeah me too
This was so sad thank you guys for showing me how important my grandma and my family means to me
Such a sad ending..
It really teaches us to be appreciative of our kins, especially those who truly loves you.
Yeah the plot materials might be a lil overused and predictable, but at least it helps remind us a little to understand what is truly important.
Why can mock someone no parent ? It's no polite.
***** I agree, no one laughs at them though, cause itz movie, who will think of that anyway?
ikr if ppl talked about mah parents ill give em a damn kick to the groin
I recently lost my grandmother and this moved me to tears. Beautiful episode, but so sad.
I Have NEVER SEEN ANY VIDEOS SO TOUCHING BEFORE.....
AFTER 18 Times of watching this video I still cry
- really very 'ke lian', everyday eat beansprouts and egg only
- would have been much better if 'ah ma' speaks in dialect actually?
- understand it's difficult to find a classroom with chalkboard nowadays
- NTUC plastic bag logo is new one... hehe...
nostalgic films are really hard to film nowadays... great cinematography though~! thumbs up!
wah..ur eye so sharp ah...
IM CRYING.... its soooo sad.. i needed this.. thx..
this is the first short film that actually made me cry. and not just tear up, but legit cry
same but not the first video
seriously, great job treepotatoes. keep up the good work. this video is the best so far. i can't help but cry when i watched it.
I'll be very honest, and I'll start by saying that the acting was top-notch. You see in this video many qualities that seem to be lost amongst the younger actors lately, especially how natural the act seems. Lately, in many of the shows/movies produced in Singapore, you see a lot of acts that just feels like the actor doesn't have any passion, and reads off a script.
A good example would be "Ah Boys to Men" and its sequel, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's third installment would be the same. Up till today, i do not understand why many younger actors feel a compulsive need to force an accent when they speak English in the movies. If you're trying to entice the Singaporean Demographic, honestly why even bother putting on an accent? When you see the actors speak in Chinese/Hokkien, they become very natural, but when it comes to English... I understand the government's need for maintaining a good standard of English, but the way Joshua Tan portrayed Ken Chow just felt extremely robotic.
But this is where TreePotatoes succeeds. Their acting is extremely fluid and natural, and you can quickly get immersed in their world. This is how Singapore's shows and movies should be done. Le En and Janice didn't bother putting up accents, they just went with their regular way of speech during the bully scenes, and that's honestly what many younger actors are missing.
Kudos as well to the filming and editing teams, they pulled of very wonderful angles and lighting. The video felt professionally made, and could very well be.
However, if I have to give a single piece of constructive criticism, it would be the story line. To be brutally honest, the story was bland and predictable. Then again, the video was only 8 minutes, so adding too many twists could have been an issue. However, i honestly felt that the story could have been done up a little better.
Bottom line, TreePotatoes, keep doing what you're doing, and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
vyintl Thanks for the indepth feedback! Really appreciate the fact that you took the time to write out such a great post!
So sad................. I cried actually.
OMG me too! I thought i was the only emotional one
ZeresChiu JingYi me too
My grandma passed away 3 years ago and I still think of the love she gave me unconditionally. This video reminds me of her. Thank you ah Ma for taking care of me and loving me. I’ll remember you. RIP🙏😢😭
OMG... I cried the moment she put her grandma's picture. 😭 we shld always treat our grandparents and parents well and dont regret after they're gone
Lay down. Try not to cry. CRYY!!!!!!!
I've never ever taken my grandparents for granted. Almost any asian can attest to that too, because we grew up being ingrained the value of family and the gratitude of life nd thankfulness.
Usually I dont listen to my grandma+she speaks chinese and im not at good at it. My grandpa passed away when I was young. My parents were alwaya busy so my grandma would took care of me untill my parents fetched me back home. My grandma was always so noisy and I would shout at her.😢 My grandma doesent collect cardboard but she would give the old aunties the cardbords or just old stuff what she doesent need. When my grandma starts coughing and snezzing I get really paronoid. Im just glad that when my grandma gave cardboard to the old aunties she never ends up like that... Great work on the acting though!!! 😢😜
Its different when there's a language barrier, but before moving to America I remember the difference between native Asian family structures and American family structures. In Asia, families often end up living together with multiple different generations (usually 3; grandparents, parents, and child before he/she marries and moves out), but in America its not always so common for grandparents to live in same household, at least so far as I've observed. None of my friends' live with their parents and grandparents in the same house. And granted I was a child, so I dont know as much, but I know I was always taught to revere elders.
So touching.... made me cry... I even shared it to all my friends and families!! Great work tree potatoes!!!!!
I cried so badly watching this video. I miss my ah ma. (Mum's mom)I always look at others with envy when i see them with their ah ma and i get really angry when they are rude to their ah ma. My mum's mum passed away on 2010. After my ah ma's death, i learnt to appreaciate things more. Now i still have 1 ah ma(dad's mom) left. After my other ah ma's death, i appreciated my (dad's mom) ah ma even more and value her more than ever. Now, i visit her every single week. I know my (dad's mom)ah ma would not be there for me all the way and one day, i would not see her again. But my wish is to still see my ah ma when i am 40 years old. I am now 12years and 22 days old and my dad's mom is 73. I miss my mom's mom dearly. When i was younger, i often pictured myself gratuating from university with my parents, relatives and my 2 ah ma there, with tears of joy. But my mom's mom passed away even before i reached 8. My mom's mom used to always smoke and i never advised her not to smoke as i thought smoking was her hobby( i was only 6 then) although i know it's bad for her health. If anyone have relatives out there and you know they love you, advise them not to smoke. If they really love you, they will not smoke for your sake. I regretted not asking my ah ma to not smoke. I thought it would make her happier if she smoke. But, it made her suffer more. To everyone out there, appreciate the things you have with you. And not cry and regret when you've lost what you have. Because, trust me. It hurts. A lot. Cherish everything you have before you lose it.

My mom's mom is still alive but my dad's mom is you know... I really miss her a lot ; - ; she passed when I was super young I miss her a lot and I can't remember my past... I only can remember her and her face nothing but only that from my past...
im so sorry to my mom i love my mom 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
RiccoDave Haryanto Thats not her mom -.- thats her grandma
Kiven Chen yeah ita mom to grandma ._.
I don't get what's so funny about having no parents? Like really? They are already miserable enough, and here these jackasses are, making them feel more shitty? And yes, I'm aware it's a video.
Bad writing on the script. They could have just left it as laughing about her being poor.
yeah
Lol my older yt account is the same user pic as yours
EpiCSniperDX nice
Everytime, my grandmother comes to me saying, Ah boy ah! Come and eat! I cooked your favourite! And what I always do is ignore her or tell her to go away, but after watching this video, I noticed how much my grandmother cared for me, I cried so hard.
i miss my Ah Ma. Even though she is in excellent health, I realize that my room is always tidy and neat when she comes over to stay. I ditch her out when no one is looking, and get mad. But then I realize that she was the one who cared for me more than my parents, she taught me my first steps, helped me with my chinese homework when I needed to, and Aalways sang me songs every night that I love. When it was my birthday, she promised me to buy me another bird and tried her best to afford it. I love you Ah Ma
Walao.. did u guys give that ah ma angpau after the shooting? Lol
We all should giving them angpaus and love....
Agree lol
Before I Was Born My Ah Ma Had Already Left ... 😧
I feel sorry for your lost. I feel the same. My Ah Ma left me 2 years before I was born.
Good job treepotatoes.. This short clip really made me cry.. And it's really touching.. Good job!
I cried really badly, I really want to cherish my grandparents now and let them know how much I love them and thank them for all they have done for me
what is a Walkman?
your obviously too young even know what is a walkman. A walkman is like an ipod that only plays music but only exists in the past
Dyllie Tan cause we future technology liao mah
Srsly whats a walkman lah? A brand?
Oh thanks, i don really know much technology :p
Syahmi Samri umo ko berape dik? 14?
This short film is just so sad and touching..It left this indescribable feeling in my heart..Well done TreePotatoes for being able to produce a rather good short film even though it is a first.
This was absolutely beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. Amazing actors and story !
this was just beautiful and holds a deep meaning that doesn't apply to those with grandma but anyone who has someone who cares for them.
Cried while watching this and lost faith in humanity but I hope people watch this and realise that there are some in the world who do not get the things they have. Us humans should be more appreciative of the things we get out of greed. Fantastic job ah Janice and ah ma. She is so cute xxx
Just lost my granny a month ago.. thanks ah.. for making me cry buckets again.
What a short , great and touching film it made me tear a little and despite the fact that the film is short it made us all learn to treasure our family! Keep it up!
I end up in tears Everytime I watch this "mini movie". You are all really good actors! I look forward to more " mini movies" like this!! 😉
Thank you soo much for making me open my eyes to my grandmother! I even cried... Thank so much! You made my day! :)))
+TreePotatoes This was a fantastic video and it really made me cry as my Grandma's 70th Birthday was yesterday. She was the one that brought me up and I'm really close to her. Thank you for reminding me the importance of having someone as valuable as her in my family, and also for showing me that we should always be nice to them while we still have them around.
This short film, though it has been out for 3 years, still makes me feel very touched. It’s impressive how emotionally attached one can become over the span of 8 minutes, something some films can’t achieve after 90. Great stuff coming from TreePotatoes.
Janice's acting is so great! Teared when she started crying with the walkman
:'( That made me legitimately cry and I don't even cry to videos like these! Thank you treepotatoes, for teaching me that I now should cherish everything I have - no matter if I am poor or rich. This made me think of my great grandma who passed away about 4 years ago; even though I wasn't that close to her (like my uncle) I did get to cherish the fact that without her, I would not be alive!
this video really taught me a lesson...U made me realise how much grandma really means and u made me cry..Good video
This video,thumbs up. I was touched by this video,i was crying. This video is showing us to cherish our time with our parents/grandparents before they pass away
Oh my gosh! I nearly cried. How touching! Reminded me of my late grandmother. Thanks, +TreePotatoes, for reminded me of my grandma.
it happened to me on chinese new years eve, my grandma was dying due to diabetic, i just went to out of town, and afterthat my dad called me that my grandma was dying, i rushed up to house and saw my grandma ( apo) was dying and i was crying a lot.. then i just called the ambulance but nobody picked up, so we decided to went to hospital to find ambulance to call paramedic. finally, my grandma was alive again and the paramedic said if we called him 5 minutes late, probably she wouldn't been here again. it was the saddest moment of my life but suddenly she was alive again.. i will be crying to watch this sad video.. this video reminds me about that moment!!
omg when i see this it made me cried, so this teach me something i should cherish poeple when they are around, the word u say to tell may be the last word you say... still crying, man this is too touching .
Just love Janice! can't get enough of her. Good work treepotatoes!
OML I STILL REMEMBERED MYSELF CRYING. IT's BEEN 3 YRS
Wow, this is something that I can really relate to. My grandmother passed away 7 years ago and I still miss her dearly. I will always regret refusing to go to the doctor with her because I wanted to stay home to watch my cartoons.
Now that she's gone. I never got the chance to say "I'm sorry" to her. And that really sucks. Treasure your family when they're still around. You never know when they'll leave you.
Im like crying like a wuss right now .. So touching and this made me realize that our grandmothers or any other loved once could leave anytime
Even in 2023, Im still crying from this beauty of a mini movie
This video gave me so many feels. I literally got so angry when those girls bullied her, I cried when her grandma died... Thank you for sharing this xx
I cried so many times about this vid so i decided to take care of my mother too.
So touching! Awesome and great job to the crews that made this:)
Awesome vid. Cried throughout watching. Always be appreciative with the things around u and always cherish and love your loved ones. You will never know when they wont be with you anymore.
When I watch this all my tears starts are dripping I always like this all my friends said nobody going to be my friend
you got me..
I'm crying.. this is so beautiful..
Great job in this video!It really made me cry.I was so touched and I really really cried while watching the video.
This video made me burst into tears. I was originally born in Singapore when my dad was offered to go to the UK my family and I went to the UK but left both my grandparents in Singapore as it was too cold for them to live there I miss my grandma and my grandpa a lot and that they were a big part of my life I really truly miss them and I hope I could see them next year...
Cant believe its already been 6 years. I remember watching this when I was still in Primary School and just wanted to re-watch this masterpiece
I love my grandma so much. She is in a better place now i believe. This episode make me cry.
The amount of time and devotion she gave you. You treated her like that. I watch this video everytime I get asked to do something by my granmother. I get motivated
Urrrrrrr maybe buy her something she aalwas wanted and fake a death
total tear jerker. huge props!
This is so touching , I'm so glad that my ahma is still here . Nice video nice job treepotato :)
OMG once again, you hav donea very good job on this video!! really cried the last part though coz i just cant help it. Keep up the good work TreePotatoes!!
This is so beautiful, the cinematography and the story are so touching :')
I actually cried in the end!
This was beautifully made!
This made me tear up, but I know even so, death is inevitable, and it will all happen to us one day. I have a grandmother who is over 90, and although she is still going strong, I'm constantly worrying everyday about losing her, and this video made me realize that I should spend more time with my grandmother and when her days are up, I will have happy memories with her to recall. Thank you Janice and crew, you have certainly enlightened me.
Very touching. I also will miss my grandmother. Because she always buys things for me and I say no, but she still buy. I LOVE MY GRANDMOTHER! XOXO
Great video, it's almost the same as the Ah Gong and me video a few years ago they had for Grandparents day where the grandson received a gameboy that he wanted once his grandpa died. Made me tear
My great grandmother was similar as she was for my mom. My mother was bullied and despised at home. My grandma? She hated my mom. My great grandmother stood up for her and love her so much. She would buy snacks for my mother and help her with homework. I got to see her and she was the best great grandmother I could ask for. But when I turned 7, my great grandmother had a heart attack and passed away I was young and wasn't aware of the grief...my mother had cried for a while
The best part of the video is that, you already expected the ending to end this way and you see it coming. Yet you teared like a baby like I do. Morale of this video, cherish your beloved ones.
