True.
She is very gentle too 😍
"Why can't they see me put in the effort and why can't they reward whatever I made." - Asher 2019.
Brah, that's not how the world works. I think homeschooling has ruined you completely from having a view of how the world works. When I was in secondary school and I put in all the effort for my Chinese and Social Studies but the result was still an F. The world is a reality and not a bubble, you get what you deserve for what you think and do. People don't sympathize with you just because you put in the effort, blame your mom and dad in believing that homeschooling makes sense for you rather than putting you through the normal way of studying in Singapore.
... get over it mate, everyone has moments of weakness lol
Such attitude ends in primary school in real world
Homeschooling s not bad at all and you should not blame homeschooling. Open your mind. In the US, a lot of kids are homeschooled and the majority of them go to university and do very well in life. Homeschoolers are independent and happy not stressed out and wanting to die like many pupils in asian school systems, because you don't let them live a little. Find out what homeschool is, there are different types as well and open your brain a bit instead of being so judgemental. No one needs to be so cynical in life to succeed.
Umm Muslima the odds of home schooling and failing in life is much higher than normal schooling in the US. Before you use another country as a cross reference please check your percentages. Also, in the US a lot of home school is due to religion reasons.
@@asleep3132 I am not from the US but from Europe and I know about the good school in Singapore and the way education is falling not only in the US but also in Europe. However, I think homeschooling is misunderstood and trust me, most kids who do it succeed in life whereas 100% of the kids who fail in the US come from the normal school system. In Asia, you put a lot of pressure on the kids and they drow up as adults with ental diseases. Look at the japanese: a lot are unable to take holidays, they work 24/7 and some committ suicide. Also, in Singapore, most kids, 80% at one time, were wearing glasses and this is a study made in Australia that showed that the reason for this is kids were always studying indoors and they need at least 2 hours a day outside in the sunlight. It is all a question of balance but the Ong kids will be strong emotionally, they will encounter difficulties in life but who doesn't, they will have their faith and family to support them, contrary to many other kids.
Thank you CNA for such a wonderful show! Even with their differences and day to day struggles, we can all see the love for one another in each family and how that is the driving force that keeps them together and moving forward💕 also, really enjoyed learning about the different cultures! Definitely gonna watch the other seasons☺
Been watching all the Family Affairs series..all so different yet the same. Love seeing other families from around the world. What I see they all care about each deeply even with all their financial difficulties. Keep up the great work CNA !! Thank you too for posting these shows for us to watch;))
Asia is far from ‘around the world’. What about Europe, Oceania, Africa, N. America, and S. America?
jeez, you get her point right thats all that matters? don't have to take things so literally all the time yknow
The Ong kids don't always get what they want but they have all the love in the family. Poor Isaac couldn't have the parrot he so loved and Asher really need his own computer but his parents couldn't afford it. I am sure they will grow up to be useful adults. God bless the Ongs !
Eh u keep praising the ong family in all the videos. U r their friend issit?
Yibin Jh I am not their friend. I praise them because they treasure what they have and most kids nowadays are spoilt and pampered. Strawberry generation are all about me, me, me. BTW I don't live in Singapore
@@zhibinliu7263 lol. praising an irresponsible moron for having more kids than he afford. the strawberry generation you hate so much would never do anything that stupid
@@justitas3392 ... calm down lmao
I think the older kids in Ong family should consider to work part time and help out with the family income...
You could say the same thing to the mom
he does...
Why should the older Ong kids take a part time job to help out with the family? They weren't the ones who decided to have half a dozen children. Maybe the parents should considered having a different hobby other than breeding like rabbits than they wouldn't be in this predicament. Or have their tubes tied.
Story of the Chinese family was so touching! I think most 'A' level students in Singapore can relate to xuan! In China, "GaoKao" is probably even more stressful. The urge to give up is real because the exams are really hard but just persevere on. I did it, despite retaining one year. There were times I thought I no longer cared about studies, but looking back it isn't that; I was just too stressed and depressed after a string of dismal exam results. The support system around the student at those moments are extremely important; I had my parents and brother, along with tutors and I'm glad xuan's parents finally decided to step in to live with her.
I know right. I wish I had that. I wanted someone to tell me to not give up on my dreams. I made the worst degree choice. My parents are only home after 10 pm. I wanted an adult figure. I did not think that it was OK to want that until I started working, then I realised it was too late to ask. But all these experiences taught me that sometimes that you have to be the adult in your life, and others have it harder!
asher can stay with his dad in singapore the rest of the family can stay in malaysia
maybe they have to let go of their sg house to have another one in jb
I love the Singaporean family. While they're struggling in finances, they're so rich in love.
But can love feed you?
everyone talking bout the chinese family but that japanese family had me in legit tears ughhh
Having a family of 6 here on a sole average income is very, very difficult but im glad the children grew up well and matured. I just hope everything goes well for the singaporean family
Love the Ong family.. they have few things but there is lot of love, respect and good value system in the family. Wish them all the best!
"no thats wrong" sorry but the teacher seems to be seriously lacking some basic comms skills
I was exactly like haruka few years ago. My life , perspective and character changed after marriage. I started to value my parents after I had my child. We all take pple for granted until we know their actual worth and it's never to late to show them that you really care.
What a wonderful episode this was.
Touching family’s every one.
i love how soft spoken saito family is❤
Someone started cutting onions at 38:00 coz tears started flowing
Got to this series really late but thinking of this episode I can relate most to the ong family my coming from a family of 8 living in the USA I can feel there pain and the financial trouble they had to go through the dad reminded me of my hard working Mexican dad . Made me appreciate both my parents and the sacrifice they made so I can live a good life!!
lol save USD150 worth all the hassle of selling, moving and daily commute? Not even worth considering.
Are they also forgetting that over the years, ALL the kids have to do the daily commute too once they have to inevitably go to local school there?
love this series!!happy to see the normal Singapore family in Korea
Thank you thank you thank you CNA another beautiful episode
The Indian family is different frm the other episode in this season?
There’s so much love in the Ong family. 加油💪.
Beautiful ending.
When you young.. try to gain more experiance by working with company. Do bussiness with your own money.not your father had earned. This son need to slap because he want to show up and think he's more clever than his father.
I cried for this episode
oh this really made me cry
Why are there only 4 episodes in this season ):
It's back to 5 episodes for season 4! Watch the first episode of the latest season here: cna.asia/family-affair
The Chinese mom has a very scary vampire teeth.
Globetrotter 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t believe you said that lol
H can u judge other‘ s looking in such a mean way, where is your manners?
My dear, you cannot teach Chinese in English. As a teacher, you should know it will be a failure.
Here's a lil backstory, she was only a teacher for a year (maybe 2) before she retired prematurely from her career for her first born. So even considering her as an ex-teacher is quite the stretch.
Can’t blame her for thinking she’ll be able to teach her kids efficiently when she’s retired as a teacher long ago😂 what a joke
CNA, possible try not to repeat the scene for each episode? If nothing to show, just shorter the episode to 30mins?
shuzler you must rmb that this was originally a TV series where there were ad breaks in show and each episode was maybe a week apart, so you couldn’t go back to watch the previous episode or rewind. In order to create some context and make the audience recall the previous episode, they had to repeat some scenes.
Cannot. Need fill air time. Need stretch their footage for more moolah.
@@slaiyfershin They don't earn money from having longer footage, lol. If they want to earn more money, they will cut the product time and just spam you with ads on TV. This is youtube and they don't create their contents solely for youtube only.
Singaporean family is the best!
Am i the only one who love the singaporean family
Love to follow up their stories,how can I do that
Was it the last episode of the season? where is episode 5?
Dan is all talk no action.
If he really want to buy earrings for the wife,
He can jolly well get two jobs, instead of cry about it like a girl.
All real men are prepared to have two jobs after one kid is born.
Sorry to break it to you
He should have spoken about people with heart disease if that device monitors your heart it would be perfect for it
Beautiful
Why the Chinese family is always eating? 😂
Now I know why the Indian family seemed to change! They are all part of the same family!
Why need Chinese language??? What a question?? Didn't your parents tell you, born as Chinese people.. Chinese language is mother language!!
The ong family is very weird, there is family planning, and you now complaint about financial problem?
suspect it's the christian thing and refusal to use birth control
@@JK-zu1np i believe they should be trialled for child neglect and abuse.
The Ong family just had another kid!
really?thx for updating and good for them.congrats
Had some second hand embarassment when he was presenting
I like how the Chinese parents are trying hard to genuinely do what is right for their daughter- I think the short term investment/sacrifice of a year of their time will pay off in the long term significantly. It’s great seeing how complicated yet loving real family life actually is. It is often messy and times of angst as you navigate changing dynamics but ultimately they are the ones who will always be there.
Only japanese middle class is living properly but all others are just surving including singapore family
The China family is pretty well to do as well
This Varun guy has a nasty attitude! Disrespectful son!
Why is Indian guy spending money to employ two chefs when he's supposed to be a chef himself????
The Chinese family seem to strict and the Japanese mother spoils the daughter too much
I don't understand why the ongs are forcibly home schooling children when they don't seem to have the skills to teach them all the subjects... yes people here are saying they are loving and blah but I feel like this is kind of like child abuse
Do you Japanese really speak in well mannered and not more personable ...seems cold
