阿BOY呀 ！！！（Ah Boy Yah!!!）

After returning from his studies abroad, Ah Boy finds himself in a sea of questions from his fellow relatives, with each additional question steamrolling into an absurd mob consisting of relatives, cashiers, news anchors, and the paparazzi to name a few. This builds up to a crescendo where everyone swarms into his home. The realization of the inevitability of questions remains, as the mob stares patiently at Ah Boy. Wanting to know if Ah Boy is the successful boy that they want him to be.
