Plot

Eric Kwek Hock Seng, a getai performer and taxi driver, is born on 9 August 1965, the day Singapore declared its independence, and the date where Singaporeans would celebrate National Day together, and is abandoned as a baby in a basket with a flower and broccoli by his mother on 25 December 1965 during Christmas Day. He is then taken in by Master Lo Man to join his singing troupe known as Luo's Family Singing and Dancing Ensemble (罗氏歌舞团). In the year 1982, Lo Man trains Eric to perform in the getai business, and through the years, he becomes one who is a patriotic Singaporean, and is hugely supportive of national campaigns. When Lo Man's getai business becomes unable to keep up with the times, and also because of the Speak Mandarin Campaign, he decided to add English lyrics to Chinese and Hokkien songs, much to the dismay to Lo Man, his friends and disciples Ah FeFei and Ah Hua, and frequent getai-goers. At the same time, his poor command of the English language made it worse, resulting in certain phrases, such as "stunned like vegetable", sounding relatively wonky. However, his new disciple and forever-loyal fan, Lawrence, is extremely supportive of this decision, as he is encouraged by his mother to listen to Eric's songs. To show his strong will and persistence to fulfil his dreams, Eric is determined to go on an unbelievable musical journey, even at the age of 50 years old. With the help of Lawrence, Ah Fei, Ah Hua and girlfriend and later wife Man Li, Eric managed to become a sensation through his song "Unbelievable".
