but then to make it live that's like better, it is of of course it's like believable lah ya the whole fantasy is believable, because it's like you can see yes exactly it's a very visual


but it's a lot of work actually


ya he's just playing it out, he's the original zigzagoon, he's the original raccoon that's why the sister like that


(mmhmm), ya like a bunch of people right like gossip girl is everyone, but that's what happened in the end what oh, !oops!, ya

err, there is this show about, I just watch actually the other day


the other lady, , they adopt adopt children, did you watch that, no you have to watch it I think


it's like too fast, and then it's like uh macam too force-feeding, like I force-feed you the lines I force-feed you the story itu macam !huh! why you why why is everything going in such a fast pace, but towards the ends ah very very actually very sweet, I don't know why I force myself to watch that


I'm like literally sitting down waiting to go to work then in the end I went to work late plus I was watching this, I don't know


oh eh when is your exams ah, how is school, what do you mean by normal


eh speaking of which, actually I have school sorry if I'm like cutting you off, I know I'm like a tricksy, I'm just going to take you out ah, K I have a diploma in mass comm


degree in business marketing, IT in building drafting which is architecture


so I'm like, one thing to the other to the other, and then now I was thinking, about psychology a lot lately because initially I wanted to take that but, it wasn't safe lah but like now lately with all the mental stress


diploma in psychology and, ya I don't know lah I was just thinking a lot about it ah I don't uh it's been about two months already, ever since the lockdown ah itu macam fikir banyak sangat pasal psychology cause I want to know like


why do you feel like certain way, at a certain time, , more of a selfish thing I want to know about myself not only that, but I want to


I want to know why people react in a way ah, because I see people change and I see, like, I know like when you look macam if you look dekat someone eh


like after a while you be like eh a he's actually a very nice kind of like he or she like is actually a nice person but maybe it's because of COVID


everyone is so wary dodgy now, sus yes sus, everyone macam sus, sus suspicions, what do you think what should I


err ya, ya have to really think about it ya cause you invest in time as well,


ya no no because the thing is because of this whole economic downturn, K yes I was in exhibition line, K it's getting a bit too personal already, yes I was in apa exhibition line but, I thought of like changing


changing the career line lah, changing the career and instead of, this whole cause the whole of uh the whole talk of like career switch whatever then I was thinking about it lah


maybe I should should I should I or should I not or is it a waste of money, what do you think personally, , (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), of course ah but I'm just thinking like


it's more of a personal thing to be to be honest it's more of a personal I want to know why people act such way and, not only people but myself also lah, (mmhmm)


no like just diploma first, of course, (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


, (mmhmm), because if you are talking about money yes I'm I have the job base


it's paying okay, just okay, and plus I can always pay pay installment yes malay people like installment, this is going to be


but no no uh of course obviously it's like school fees you pay installment what so, not that I don't want to move back with you guys but I'm so comfortable staying alone


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), yes on top of that you have add the the fact that you have to spare your time


yes I get that what the hell is this, wet tissue face mask, why the how come is terkeluar macam ini dah pakai tak buang ke tak senonoh [seh]


ah listen you are already what, nineteen bitch, I said bitch,


why, won't it be exciting, treat it as a hobby lah instead, no no doesn't need to be nak kena ada kereta then you can always drive whatever what


can, can can always sewa what


ya I know I know yes I like to be driven as well I don't like to drive people but the whole idea of like getting a license is like interesting, which will have to carry on, to the next topic, which I think would be fantastic, holidays

(mmhmm), (mmhmm) , (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), that's after trump already what, (mmhmm), (mmhmm) (mmhmm)


(mmhmm) (mmhmm), ya okay that one is a bit too touchy already but anyways, if given a choice


(mmhmm) (mmhmm), (mmhmm) (mmhmm), no because I've, I have travel all across europe not all across lah like maybe the western eh no eastern side of europe I remember it cheaper


like above, what was that the, the know not not not not not I won't said poor lah but that ya ya the eastern side of europe we should have a poor countries of europe everything there is cheaper right above france


ya not in france itself but ya the it is uh ya eastern side of europe, things are cheaper there, cause I was speaking to someone just now and then he was like, ya it's cheaper there but I haven't been there so I took the euro rail


ish ya, SGD ya SGD, (mmhmm) after conversion ah, so you like you hop on hop off like anytime you want that kind of thing, so I went from all the way from UK, a train ride all the way down to sicily france everywhere ah basically almost everywhere

everything is not going well with her, she's moving to new zealand


yes she's intending to carry on dia punya apa uh degree in technology, in new zealand so she wants to move there as a first starting off with apa renting out a place, and then in the end just buy her place


I actually underestimate then she's actually, prominently, financially stable is not stable is like financially well off, the fact that she say that the the dad can like easily just buy


apparently her dad is, uh apa director of uh IA indian association of singapore, like oh interesting, anyways ya they the dad and mum just bought over bought over just bought over I was like !wah! so casual ah just bought over so ya they are actually well off


I didn't realize that about her but anyways, ya she wants to move there and it's like to begin a a fresh to begin a new macam start from the beginning very interesting way, that's I envy her lah, I love her whole approach to life


exactly exactly which we can't I mean, it's ya


yes, Inshallah


exactly like I read that post on the instagram they were like the grass isn't always greener on the other side, the grass is always green when you water it


I was actually thinking about doing uh restart no, gardening oh no speaking of hobby K nevermind, err ya we we will lead to it ah which is one of it is actually, I started playing stocks again


I thought of, I I followed this one guy he is american, so muslim, but very americanized ah so is I don't know whether is how halal is it ah which is apparently is uh


everyone muslim is following him ah, so everyone muslim is doing the stock then I was like eh this whole stock is not really halal you know, but anyway so I'm just going to see how it goes, ah ya speaking of which hobby yes


sewing I thought of getting a sewing machine, like soon, I actually plan to go down to gain or like gain city or challenger, wherever lah nak tengok ada mesin menjahit baju tak I want to see ah, I want to start stitching my own clothes


you know how annoying like uniqlo is semua tak ada saiz menyampah [seh], ya, ya lah this deconstruct lah like you exactly like that shirt, so maybe I can have like I this deconstruct one shirt, then I take tear off all the seams and then just cut off a pattern


you know pattern you can just uh oh paper pattern, ah that that brown paper [kan], ah, just draw over or I don't even need to deconstruct I can just paper pattern, then I just ya trace trace trace


(mmhmm) (mmhmm) (mmhmm), ya ya ya I I I'll start with oversize ah everything oversize so whatever I'm wearing suppose to be it's going not suppose is going to be oversized I want to do pants


I nak try recreate


, , meaning what methodology, that earring things methodology ah


(mmhmm), oh okay


ah okay ya you were saying, it's a course


ya lah I mean like you can always note it out, plan it out like not only you don't only watch one video what like like got banyak video [seh], (mmhmm) (mmhmm)


wait you have to use tools, like hitting tools, plier, (uh huh) (uh huh), eh you know what I can incorporate you know why cause I was actually thinking of you know


okay I saw that fashion show where they were doing like, those headpieces, with those beads pearls laces, I was actually thinking of incorporating that, into making a mask, you know the face mask that we are wearing


(ppc) cause like everyone's wearing a normal, normal mask the most fanciest one is they buy from like, carousell whatever, uh ya very lame and cheap and always the same design, I thought of creating something that is like stand out


yes with beads lace, and then maybe can incorporate your methodology, or like earring whatever not not really earring lah but like maybe like some, metal pieces that you can stick you saw Raja, the one the mouthpiece that Raja wore the


that cover the whole face but leave out the eyes like catwoman like that [kan] cool [kan], uh ya I thought of doing that, shall we, okay yes you and your exams when's your exam ending


(mmhmm)


are you the only december baby, ,


you so lambat eh


cause you stayed up late right, (ppc)


no I was thinking about greens no no nope no no no no no


okay let's just pilih satu from this


it doesn't it doesn't make sense to fight a lot, so nak kena bunuh so many so I rather take one, large horse-sized otter otter bukannya apa otter [kan] cute


or like you can ride it like a horse


ah no no like, isn't, but I think five is overwhelming


oh ya again so I think like seriously just now I work my patience is like wearing, every I realize everyday my patience is like wearing


thin like paper thin, I I ask like eh where are you from then he say Kranji I was like, I want slap your face you come from Kranji you from bangladesh right you from Kranji slap you then you know, like seriously [dah] lah tengah busy


eh they from Kranji I say !alamak! you , you not from bangladesh lah you not from Kranji lah oh ya ya ya bangladesh


dia takut ke I'm from india, I was like #ya allah# #ya rabbi#, I know but I was like brother


actually to be honest I am entah lah, I know that I am yes I am sassy, , but, the patience is really wearing thin


I think it's because of the numbers ah, , how


(mmhmm), !huh! siapa yang nak datang pergi bakery ah


where how to pakai your hundred dollars, I was thinking of nak pakai and then book a hotel I seriously need a bathtub


ya, any hotel lah with a good bathtub, a really good bathtub, no lah not okay ya now I'm thinking of it I should actually just go to a spa right, no I just garuk ketiak not


not sikat my ketiak hair disgusting, no ya actually thinking of it ya actually should just take the spa, ya I want to ya as much as I want to be pampered but I don't like


uh no not only kaki my badan that time bila pergi Phuket, I was like screaming ah ah ah ah then he was like !oi! I haven't even touch you yet


to lessen the pressure like on not even pressure it's like contact skin contact cause she knows geli [kan]


ya exactly, you know what I think it's because, I think it's because of, childhood, eh you how Baba likes to geletek us when we were young


over the smallest thing is it feels like torture right, !ee!, no for me is geletek dekat tepi the side of the side of your rusuk ya


I know will like scream and cry until air liur meleleh like oh no no tak nak tak nak tak nak and then until now it's like phobia like even when people come close to me I'll be like please go away go away, serious serious serious serious, then you know how my size is so big that everyone thinks that I'm cuddly


like oh I want to hug I say you better get away I will smack you then you know


no I just want to get in a bathtub that's all, okay I have a pool upstairs, I swim at night but the thing it feels different if you, have, I just want to soak, I just, want to be appreciated I just want to be appreciated


ya I just want ya I just want to soak that's all like swimming pool yes I do swim alone at night at night alone so it's different ah, Alhamdulillah it's like so rude


no irregardless I just want to like, (mmhmm), actually you know what that time when I went to new york for new year's, new year's new york, this year how it really change eh


, ya next year should


come my friend is sell trying to sell me something


some E commerce thing, typing typing tapi tapi tak tak tak hantar hantar sudah lah


really right like it feels like yesterday but it's actually a long time ago it's actually, know it feels so long ago but it's actually just this year only to give I mean yes


you get what I mean, then I'm like, and then I wouldn't call it like the curse of twenty twenty but a lot of things really happen there like the airbnb didn't go well, the whole ya I told you about the airbnb didn't go well


it was supposed to be like five minutes off times square but instead it's like, no not twenty twenty is really slow walk ah but it's about fifteen minutes


no less than fifteen ten mintues ten fifteen minutes, walk down to times square it it's still a good location ah in the end we loved it ah, in the end we loved it we grew to love it but initially we thought it was just beside so like can see the, fireworks whatever but in the it's actually far away and then in the end


we wanted we the whole idea was to was to do new year's, new york twenty twenty new york new year twenty twenty, to see the fireworks whatever the ball drop ah, ya hello we went


because of the airbnb the stupid airbnb is like so far away not far away about fifteen minutes away, we had to buy the because the roads were cordoned off, we didn't know so I went down I was like Sya was, that's why a lot of things happened


then she cannot wake up early then I was like okay I wake up early I just, so I woke up early just to see, (ppc) whether we can go to times square cause I


I seriously thought you don't need to pay anything apparently people can queue to get inside the ball drop, but you have to queue like the night before, then the night before we were walking right was empty, so I didn't know you have to queue like we we were home which was about maybe three AM people start queuing already


ya which is, too far they were cordoned off already, like you have to really have to picnic and it's out in the cold it's like winter it's like four degrees


you really have to pack mesti bau masam [kan] ya ya, so I went down at about, ten AM no wait ya, slightly earlier than ten AM I was like eh the roads are closed, the police officer was like no no no enter I was like no I want to buy something he was like no you no then I was like my friend is over there I don't know where I stay


then he was like nope, no excuses turn back so I was like oh shoot then I say how do I get in he say you have to purchase a ticket I was like !huh!, so we went I went online, and then found out there is this bar hopping, within that area


is not in in but it's around, around the no not around the area but is like within the ball drop you can see the ball drop the bar hop within the, uh apa the ball drop ah, and it costs five hundred USD I thought I told you before


, it costs five hundred USD so ya I think it that was like, part of the twenty twenty curse a lot of thing really happened, but it didn't felt it it felt much more of an adventure instead of this whole year


ya this whole year was like a lot of slacking actually inside this room, a lot a lot of slacking a lot of baring here baring there I clean the rooms


carpet eh seriously I need to change this carpet, (mmhmm), see, Alhamdulillah, but that's good right


I told you right see the positivity, yes manifestation of positivity and who pushed you, who went around, excuse me he died a long time ago


ya he did what, exactly a long time ago what, yes Samled, mister Samled, he passed away he's a good boy


mister abang samled that's like


codeswitching, like towards the end I never expected eh


ya, the lorek version of ah mah


I didn't feel as sad as I should be, I don't know why, because I wasn't around for the longest time [kan] tak terasa but actually I love him so much eh, he's been forever [kan], since you were like four or five


ya four or five ah, until you're like what seventeen, sec five, so seventeen, sixteen


ya seventeen minus five is like what, twelve years man that cat


no itu betul-betul menjaga [seh], ya, he had no restrictions he could have gone anywhere everywhere but he still remain [orh]


actually I felt like I want to take a pet actually


ya what's the point right, I was really thinking a lot about this during quarantine


ya but during quarantine during CB, remember, so it's like !wah! ini kalau ada uh ya can always teman what like someone to talk to, ya exactly then it's going to be perap in this whole room


speaking of which rental so my friend was thinking, should we move in together you saw that house, that listing ya, ya that's why, the room is small smaller than this, yes


I no this is to be honest this is actually a perfect size for me, I can fit like this, queen sized bed I still got a, or like walk around and do my work here or like


yes exactly so like to move to a smaller space I cannot I cannot, downgrade myself, I can upgrade myself but then the thing is everything semua sekarang tengah mahal I don't know ah like


I have no idea okay lah probably yes I have an idea what is is mahal now because, everyone needs the money, but, seriously everyone, everyone left already all the expats all left already so like


why is everything still so expensive, like there's a lot of things on the market but everything's expensive, odd right, (mmhmm), you want to swap, yes I want to swap I'm telling you I want to swap


(mmhmm), (uh huh)


then that that that's the thing price should be kurang apa should be lesser what, shouldn't be that expensive what to entice people to buy what or like rent


downgrade, decrease, (mmhmm), I hope it will, because that place looks good, but then the thing is really small lah


a false wall, and then have to pasang another door it's going to be costly it is going to cost like more then two three hundred dollars already, then like I'm like !huh!, no not only that he say he wants to do like short term like maybe three


or six months then I was like no only if you are doing this ah, for one year at least one year I'm looking at one year and above not not at least one year, one year and above, then I can consider moving in with you then he was like oh I was looking at maybe like maybe three to six months then I'm like ah okay no way


but it's costly lah, it's nice sia it's nice it is really cozy like with the lights and all [kan] with the window


oh ya speaking of which just now I pass by uh river valley, so I was looking at that place then I'm like oh my god I really miss that place, I really miss that place


!huh! I miss the outside I was like walking through the whole thing, ah that, I love the outside I hated my room, it's like porter room so small


river valley, wait where you which one you talking about, #potong pasir#, no, #potong pasir# yes, #potong pasir# I love the room because it was an upgrade


they clean once in a while it was nice, the room is nonsense but the hall is huge and I'll always sleep slept at the hall


yes, (hmm), !huh! when


she cook curry, , !huh! then where was I


oh interesting, ya I miss that place because of the hall and then it was overlooking the pool the huge windows I have this thing with windows ah tingkap macam best, exactly exactly plus the hall was already so huge


so the windows made it look huger, look bigger huger you know make it look, bigger, ya if only the rent there is cheap


yes it's considerably expensive ya of course for myself, no no no no no no no no no rent a proper room this uh this time round lah but it's still expensive now is too expensive


it's like almost two thousand dollars, you can do so many things with two thousand dollars, that's the thing about renting you have to really think about it like I told my friend he was like should I move out or should I move in with my brother then I was like uh


you fikir masak-masak dulu like from now until february because he was thinking of moving in february, then I was like fikir masak-masak dulu like if you move in, eh no not move in like once you pay rent it feels good for the first month because you are paying for like something that you are staying in


the second month okay still okay the third month onwards is like a bit like a bit ridiculous because you are like you feel like, what am I doing, like why am I putting this amount of money, to rent


(mm), but then again it is when like you have to pay to stay right


don't you think so like with COVID like, it was january february march COVID


november december, eh tak [kan] mesti lah miss travelling travelling is one of the best thing that I think


I think I wanted to go to new zealand


ya new zealand ah most


ya tu ah I think ah that time I pergi in twenty, sixteen tu I pergi , okay ah I tak I didn't get to enjoy, fully because it was in a tour


uh australia I rasa kalau kita dapat camper van kat new zealand, confirm lawa gila ah


and then I think what was I I I felt what was most memorable probably was


sydney dengan sydney to melbourne because we had another group another friend


there are shared memories together ah


oh berry van eh, ya lepas tu yang kita you makan kat perfect catch, I think one of the best memories of fish and chips compared to UK punya fish and chips UK fish and chips


ya I think I enjoyed fish and chips more with the one in australia compared to UK ya


ya I went to new zealand dengan my aunties lah and my cousins, err well uh bila you pergi dengan makcik-makcik ah dia orang punya level of err worry is more because they feel that they are responsible lah for you


so I wanted to bungee but my aunties were all making a big fuss out of it, I tahu ah tapi bila you dah dengan makcik-makcik I, err dia orang dah eh tak mahu lah tak mahu lah


and ya lah so but the irony was amidst all the commotion, there my back then lah my uncle who was fifty plus suddenly out of the whole tour group I think he was one of the eldest or one of the oldest


yes, and he was the only one in the group


ya and the group had, I think youngsters me included and few others, yup, so he was the only one brave enough, ah despite my aunts' protestations


and ya lah so he jump ah he was the only one who jump smiling


I mean the usual health, declarations apply lah [kan] you got there, it must be ticked are you fit ada sakit apa-apa tak you got heart disease or not et cetera et cetera benda-benda macam gini semua biasa lah kena fill


and once you are done ya lah I mean it is an accomplishment right it is an achievement, so they give you a cert lah to say that yes I am brave enough to have attempted this and Nah ambil kau punya cert, ya


actually for new zealand , the year that I went, so kita dalam kat new zealand maybe about one or two, can't remember whether one or two nights but I remembered that, the night before


this thing that happened, I was watching the netherlands match ah so, my cousin and kita pergi pub


we were supposed to travel somewhere else


and then apparently for that year there was one of the heaviest snow yang christchurch felt


err, eh did I say two thousand sixteen no not two thousand sixteen sorry sorry sorry it was two thousand and six, sorry sorry it was two thousand and six not two thousand and sixteen two thousand and six


ah was that the first time I felt snow, ya betul I think that was the first time I rasa snow


ya ya ya we memang kita tahu it was winter so we brought the I mean for me at least I brought jacket and gloves lah, err, err not for snow but I mean just winter kita tak tahu pun there was snow that was gonna happen


but it was the first time experiencing snow so fun lah, the tour company decided okay nevermind we err board the bus and lepas tu drove to another hotel


is that, the malls closed at five PM so you imagine eh


and then we realize that !wow! at five PM I'm back at the hotel doing nothing but tengok TV so it was kind of boring ah but fortunately I think we were stuck only for, one one one extra night ke two extra night


ya, K lah how chocolate is the best lah


or coffee but I think back then I wasn't much of a coffee drinker


ah apple spice that was the melbourne winter winter festival


!woo! Shiok ah, !wah! camper van experience lain eh I think


wilsons promontory


dapat, ya lah I think by then kita orang macam dah penat I mean we were driving


I'm sure they are adapt, at finding their own food ah [kan]


ya tu pasal lah, ya the the experience I think I think if you will for example to take a tour, will bring you to the more


high level touristy places, err


ya, you can park up at any place that you want by the beach by by a park


you can sleep over, you can even, you can even decide on the spot that !hey! I want to spend two did two night here instead of only one, ya you can get to enjoy and sightsee


I think yang even on that trip lah yang we kita turun tengok the river delta [kan] ya


I just gonna shoot straight for KL


ya tapi kalau you can fly everybody else also wants to fly and then all the all the, flight tickets are gonna be expensive


wanna drive all the way , ya tapi okay so there are two ways to go about doing it biasa orang drive, what they do is they drive


to Penang, ya that one more relax ah takde kelam kabut takde macam rushing for time


Selangor tengah highest for COVID numbers, ya so boleh ah lepas tu lepas dah tidur KL satu malam pergi Penang satu malam baru pergi thailand tapi tu dah kira dua hari ah


and then and then you're just crossing into thailand border oh you see, so to me, what's your objective is our objective driving to thailand and then back or the objective is to explore the southern part of thailand kalau the objective is to explore southern part of thailand


then the other alternative is fly to, Krabi or fly to Phuket


err I don't know ah tak pernah try tapi jangan bawa kereta ah jangan bawa kereta in, you sewa kereta dekat thailand


ya, but it's tiring lah so what I want is kita save ourselves the trouble of driving all the way from singapore ah


true but then I felt that okay lah I think after the first, after the first camper van trip sorry after the first time we took the camper van on the ocean liner, and then, I think that was just the experience lah of trying to see how you drive onto


the ship lah [kan], okay lah memang best lah tak cakap tak best tapi


cabin cabin, ya, okay lah tapi malam we kita tak travel malam so you were travelling at


it wasn't that bad, no lah I guess when it got, I mean bila kita baru-baru masuk when the boat started to sail, it was still relatively calm


and then by the time we got ourselves ready and prep to go to sleep, by the time kita dah tertidur boat dia probably, took a slightly more I mean the seas were ruffled lah [kan] when I think there were some points in time where we could feel their boat swing but because we were too tired and dah dah dah tertidur kita pun tak rasa sangat lah


ya when the storm or whatever rough seasons pass then, it's all calm lah, ah


oh ya, ya I think supermarkets overseas ah


there are, other things that they have as well, the selection is bigger there's more variety, true


and harga tak so mahal lah, because they are the producers ah that's why, ah meat so fresh


we tend to cook more by ourselves than over here


oh dapat dia orang yang burger ni macam best ah, true, even the ice cream is different


okay sabar which one do you prefer you lagi suka van diemen's punya ice cream ke you lagi suka gelato Messina, van diemen's was ya betul-betul yang kat situ sebuah farm


ah tak salah tu UK ah, okay


ya tu yang best dia ah, because you have a variety to choose from ah


because kalau you you compare van diemen's van diemen's punya flavours are, much more predictable in that sense, it's not anything out of the ordinary lah macam K you got your vanilla you got your coffee or your chocolate double chocolate kind of thing


and then you got your pepperberries your lemons there is no unique flavor you know like for example lychee rose for example


quite common


okay tom's palette ke gelato Messina, but then tom's palette sedap [seh]


suitable to


okay, farmer's market


ya, and the best donuts in the world, eh do you notice


it could be ya, when we went to borong market alright K break your head right


we ordered the the bombolinis lah the donuts right, I think that was the first time ever that we tried that kind of donut that stuffed donut, kind of


, I I wouldn't say that sebab dulu dunkin donut pernah ada with their bavarian cream


and, ya okay so kalau you imagine ah break your head you punya donut the dough is soft, alright then, their


flavours the filling, unique overflowing, so they were oozing out and okay lah I guess it's it just added to the whole experience


and break your head has boosted their donuts as the best donuts in the world lah, which I am inclined to agree sebab about I haven't tasted, any other stuffed donut which comes close to that


ya, ya ya, ya oh and then when we went to camden market we managed to try that peruvian street food


that was interesting, I felt that it was a cross between lemak cili padi dengan uh apa thai green curry


plantains eh, did they grill that one grill [kan], I think it was grilled and then they put brown sugar or something on top right


ya if I'm not mistaken it was that ah, ya that one, eh there was something that I thought about oh oh oh oh oh oh london


the devil brownies ah, ya that was a random find ah no we went to that, that weekend market, I wouldn't say it's a random find lah because we purposefully wanted to go to that market


but the brownies we didn't expect it to be there, ah correct


where aspiring business owners visit this there err these dragons or pitch their ideas to these dragons ah so these dragons are, investors yang ada duit bangsa duit melambak shark tank ah macam shark tank ah


so dragon's den dengan shark tank lebih kurang ah sama ah, so ya she pitch her brownies to them ah, I I not I can't remember exactly whether they gave her the funding or not ah but the fact that you made it to dragon's den and you were shortlisted kirakan you bagus ah


I think I saw that as part of her marketing collateral, err she used that as part of her advertisement lah


ah but I really good are really really good, ya okay think about it eh kalau you kata you miss the food overseas


do you miss the food, do you miss singapore food when you are overseas


ya, no lah just wondering whether you have because right now when we're here we're we're back in singapore you cakap oh I miss the food overseas


then I realize that okay lah when travel kita tak selalu makan luar kita selalu masak most of the time


ah noodle oodle that's just, soup ah


ya so if you were to think about it again macam is it really that fantastic


so, probably, okay but I know definitely for certain


I miss, the, I miss the PFC paskintani fried chicken, but it's different because this this chicken that they make


ya it's the spices sebab dia orang okay imagine nandos, K imagine nandos ah so the taste is, slightly okay on par or even nicer than nandos


but the price, ah the price the price is way cheaper than nandos ah, because it's like it's food meant for for the man on the street, it's like fast food you know


but this pakistani fried chicken or whatever the fried chicken that they sell, it's meant for a quick grab ah


and that's nice I miss that cause it's cheap and it's good, ah yes, eh the pie is nice, ya, ya it wasn't shepherd's pie but it was very nice


ya, what was their name ah a pie thing is it


pie face or pie thing, ya but it was nice ah, ya what else ah, what else was nice that we have


oh buffet that that buffet was power, eh that was a nice chance upon ah


that was not in our initial plan lah because our initial plan was, was to do the north coast for five hundred that north, north coast route of scotland, but because of the accident we had to turn back


and then when we turn back, ya some changes to our plans, ya


okay lah it's a saving grace lah, it's a saving grace because I think, those ya that jacket potato was nice


ya it was milkshake and skittles ah, filling in the jacket potato


ya I think it was sour cream, ya, and we didn't eat I mean I didn't of course we didn't eat meat over there so we chose


we always chose a vegetarian option ya or pescatarian lah at least oh that was some nice jacket potato


that's true, was so enjoyable when you shop at the ni lah factory outlets, [kan]


ya cheaper lah ya but I don't understand how people could, spend thousands err on prada


understand ah it's still thousands eh


bicester ke Bister, B I C E S T E R bicester, ya but I think the york punya outlets err better ah


somewhere near the south, so kita travel all the way up untuk pergi york, because you girls wanted to shop


at the outlet factory ya, that's true lah tapi macam travel untuk two hundred plus three hundred plus kilometre just for that macam


okay lah, so far none so far the three of our major trips


we have there are this this three major lah the UK and the two australia, ah tak ada theme park ah, ah


oh, err


slide down the slope ya, best ah


fifty, fifty !alah! fifty australian fifty sing ni lebih kurang sama ah


maze kat sana ah,


oh, eh itu mengarut [seh], ya


the beaches err jog my memory again where did we go


oh sydney ya bondi, I think we did, portsmouth


ya I agree, malaysia nature, okay lah I mean


the thing about, the thing about nature in malaysia, is partly because of the weather [kan] they humid tapi dia panas ah, so walaupun masuk hutan err I mean you got your you got your forest cover tree covers and what not


compared to bila kita travel dekat UK you ingat tak yang kita pergi tasmania,


oh oh ya ya ya


ah


but it's hot ah, that's true, that's why we should always travel to


temperate climate, four season four season climate, I've been to spain, ya I have err


two thousand let me recall ah when did I go to spain, two thousand, ya this was uni two thousand seven, seven I think or two thousand eight


I met my friend who was doing his exchange in netherlands, and then from netherlands sort of like, a trip before he gets back to singapore, we went to travel around the areas lah so we went to spain


specifically we went to madrid lah, err at that time two thousand eight tak salah tengah euro euro two thousand eight ya tu ah euro two thousand eight lah, so err I clearly remember there was one night, I think it was spain versus italy


ya


ya kalau kalau travel as a student, I think you really have to plan, how much you are going to spend so macam for us while kita pergi sana we either just took the


public the bus which brought us with from country to country you you just took the bus so it could be a long ride, so I remember there was one


so we were from netherlands kita travel to belgium via bus, so when we reach belgium, we thought that the bus station uh at that belgium to the airport was quite near lah


only for us to realise that actually


belgium is belgium lah mana belgium is germany, so kita terlepas so konon-konon nak naik taxi ah the bus two hundred foreign nightmare thanks ah ya, and then and then we were basically poor students today


and then we were, the cab fare was more than one hundred and twenty euros, definitely ah, I think the bus was even free to bring you to the airport


ya so we got the wrong airport, we wanted ya we were supposed to catch our flight to porto portuguese not porto portuguese porto portugal


and then we thought that wherever that bus station in belgium was in relation to the supposed airport is near, but apparently the budget terminal was further further further away


, ya


ya so timing we still had I mean like, we still had about at an hour lah but sixty kilometres away ya [kan] so it's still quite a distance, forty five minutes to get there ah


so you macam dah !alamak! macam mana eh but the worst part is that we will we had no money ah there was I think we only had one hundred and twenty euros, this was the start lah almost the start I think ya


no bukan takde duit lah but, not that much cash on hand so if we spend the if we spend the money on this taxi trip that means untuk benda-benda lain kita kurang lah [kan]


so we negotiated lah we said we are students we missed our bus, the taxi driver said okay I tell you what, nevermind ah he just so happened that he was also a muslim


and then he said okay nevermind, belgium belgium ya okay so he said okay nevermind err I charge you, I forgot a hundred or one hundred and twenty euros lah basically, he said okay whatever that money you all got nevermind you all give me but I will switch on my meter and nanti I will show you all


ya so he switched on his meter


regulation [kan], ya lah I I think sama ah macam benda ini juga so dia on, so he went all the way up up up we haven't still haven't reach but the meter dah naik two hundred three hundred and twenty twenty euros


and then by the time we reach there he, uh maybe three quarters ah, ya and then dia kata okay you look ah at the meter


so he accepted the whatever money that that we got lah and we managed to catch our flight just in time, before the gate closed lah maybe we had like half an hour before the gate close


ya and that was just the start of our journey ah, ya starting tu dah adventure ah, run into I


I think the I won't say highlight lah but one of the more memorable thing was, partying in the streets for two hours after spain won against italy, no but I think kalau spain kalah confirm raih ah, ah but because spain won err I think I think through penalties eh spain menang italy and then ah because of that they made it to the final


we watched you watched that so the there was a big screen dia orang err live telecast, so kita ramai-ramai ah kat sana sama tengok live telecast lah


ya and uh I mean when you're in a festive mood, the spaniards were quite nice to you lah, ya and then I think when when


where we watch I think it was like their, you know sometimes certain cities have that have like their central, central area or you know central parade square or something like that, I think it was something similar to that at madrid lah ah but from where they were


from where we were going back to our hostel, err I think, by by their train it would have taken us about, let me think ah, maybe about half an hour or sorts


ya but on that day, the trains tutup sia, ah so [dah] happy happy


so it was netherlands lepas tu ambil bus pergi belgium belgium flight to portugal portugal pergi flight to madrid


ya that was that was an, all the way makan ni ah roti dengan tuna ah, ya


oh I remember there was one there was one instance I think it was, I think this was in madrid


my friend and I lah kita dah dah dah lapar ah, so kita turun kat kedai muslim ni kita kebetulan found a muslim shop which was nearby, no, you go through your hostel dot com ke apa ah


ya, so jumpa ah kedai kedai muslim ni ah semua muslim brother dah masuk kedai dia apparently kita ternampak ada Prata ah, Prata ah so macam Prata ah


so I don't know whether it was ah an instant Prata or Prata that they made ah tapi nampak macam Prata ah, so my friend and I eh baik ah this harapan Prata puas hati lah [kan]


true dah tengah lapar ah so kita dah okay ah enam enam enam sekali pakcik tu tengok kita macam kau orang biar betul enam sabar sabar sabar and he couldn't speak english


no, apparently dia orang makan order Prata dengan macam sirap ke gula ah


it's like it's soaked, soaked with sugar so one each ah


so we were thinking of as I think if it was any other shopkeeper, he probably just asked like six enjoyed and charged us a full price, and basically being dishonest about it ah


ya, power ah, ya that's why, ya, ya


and then uh you know how the spaniards pride pride themselves with their siesta ya so there was one day kita keluar maybe like after one or after the two, then we realized that all the shops were closed because they were all sleeping


ya like they I think the shops mostly will close like one to four ke two to five ah, ah like they really took their break


yes yes, ya, ya


ah yup, true


who came up to us, say Assamualaikum and started to err to talk to us in malay


so we talk to him when quite further in he said oh actually yes he's bangladeshi, for, working ah so he was working in malaysia for quite a number of years then I guess he


came back to bangladesh and then you know went back went to spain to work lah, I mean if the opportunity presents itself nak lah [kan]


ya working overseas is something, okay lah not a lifelong dream but, it is something that I want to at least try once in my life, sometimes only we working overseas then you know whether you will like it or not


ya, the closest I had for staying was, I had six months ah of exchange in canada, that was a I wouldn't say there's even that even came close ah but


yes, totally, ya or at least the community which I was in made me feel welcome ah to the point that I felt that !hey!, this isn't too bad a place if you want to stay here


both ah, okay so when when I was at the university at mcgill in montreal, the MSA or the muslim students association they were quite


vibrant and there are very active lah, so I decided that okay let's make the best out of my exchange experience and let's join them lah, because when I were went there also , it coincided with the fasting month


[ah] <malay>lepas tu dah langgar langgar sana</malay> I mean, ya fasting oversea I think that was one of the best experience because fasting hours was short [ah]


eh then you pass by so fast eh, don't you think so like with COVID like !wow! where did all the time go


ya, miss travelling eh do you miss travelling, ya but if you could pick a destination where do you think you will travel to uh


like before COVID lah


new, I've seen so many photos of new zealand in like postcards and I was gila [seh]


ya that was so fun right UK and australia in camper van !wah! love those time [seh]


ya bila lah boleh travel lagi macam camper van was so nice right I mean like it's a different form of travelling, and like it just allows you to see the world in a different way lah you know right compared to when we stay at airbnb, like you can just parked up anywhere and just


or just you know if you happen to find like a nice eatery remember the donut eatery, ya I think that was berry van !wah! that was so nice


fish and chips right


ya they do fish and chips in a different way at different places lah, ya I think I enjoyed fish and chips more when they were in australia compared to UK, ya eh you said that you went to new zealand the other time


do you do anything interesting over there like, I don't know like they have like skydiving bungee or something right


eh but bungee is like once in a lifetime kind of experience eh,


oh my god, serious eh,


okay okay okay, eh but I heard if you do this kind of high risk activities right like so they will do a health check and then they will see whether you're eligible for activities and then you'll get some kind of like cert after it right


so what interesting stuff did you do there since you didn't get to do bungee


I was watching the netherlands match ah so my cousin and I didn't keep up


eh so was the first time that you felt snow or macam how was it ah macam sejuk gila ke or like how was it


ah K, oh okay


wait but you but did you guys packed for snow or not like did you have your all your winter clothes and like your thick you know you have the thick wear and everything


K lah at least you were sort of prepared for it lah to happen


oh okay eh tapi dalam cuaca macam gitu sejuk-sejuk ah I think it'll be so nice to have a hot drink right macam hot chocolate or like, I don't know what's nice over there


err melbourne was quite nice right eh or no no no no let me think, there was another hot drink that we had at the melbourne winter market what was it ah


like it was like an , like a ya like an apples spice drink or something right, ya, ya


ah my god super super Shiok, ya like you know like I have like


the best memories in a camper van like there was one time, when do you remember when we were like cooking right we were cooking something, and then I think we were parked at some national park was it a national park


ya and then bila wombat tu macam bau kita punya makanan !wah! he just like crawled up to our door, !wow! like that's an experience you won't get here [seh], ya eh how come tak ambil gambar [seh]


ya lah ya lah that's true lah


ya, ya yes, for a moment I was thinking like should I throw my pan out of the door so that they can eat outside you know because like kesian when when I saw them at the door they look like so hungry and I don't know like like I just felt like I needed to feed it to feed them


ya ya I guess and probably they can't eat human food also lah


ya more more expensive places err like, those I don't lame places lah like I don't know some jewel factory which is not what we we sign up for


correct correct, so unforgettable


ah lepas COVID pergi mana eh, eh but KL okay you can go KL by driving but if you could fly I mean the possibilities is endless what


that's true


eh but you know what I've always wanted to do really like drive up all the way like you know KL Selangor pass Selangor, and then all the way to the borders and pass to thailand like I think that will be so fun eh but the way need like I don't know do we need like some kind of


license or how how do we go about doing that ah to get to thailand by car


yes yes definitely need to stop in KL lah like I need my dose of KL man


ah


nothing will happen to it right, like wherever you leave your car to travel to probably at the airport or something should be quite safe right


oh ya never thought of that ah , ya ya ya ya correct correct


ya but it's interesting to explore different modes of transport all your travelling lah, so macam like that time when we went to tasmania right like we'd I think we got on all kinds of transport ah there was car


we drove that camper van right and then we got through err got through to tasmania from melbourne by ferry, and then after that we still took our camper van on another ferry to bruny island right yup


ya and it was so cute


and then, I think that was just the experience of trying to see how you drive onto, ya but that was nice what


ya but at least from the small bruny island boat we could see what was happening around us when we went into the ferry right it like we couldn't see anything happening because you when the bunker and all, ya except when we went out to the deck ah to explore the ferry [kan]


bunker did I say bunker, ya ya correct correct the cabin ya, eh selamat tak seasick eh, ya I guess in a big boat okay you don't really feel it lah


ya correct


ya correct, ya eh you know what I miss another thing I miss about traveling


I don't know if you do lah but that's just me, they are just so lain right


ya the range I remember was definitely much more than what we have in singapore ya like , yogurts come on yogurts chocolates correct ya it wasn't that expensive


ya but like even the meats and everything was like so fresh !wow! I don't know why food tastes so much nicer overseas I think cause it's fresh produced right


ya, ya lah that's one of our ways that kita nak save duit [kan]


ya like so fresh and like, I don't know ah oh it's just damn different ah or maybe like we are just so used to singapore food that ya, ya the ice cream was


err wait err K let me recall eh van diemen's was the one yang kat farm right, ya, and then there was gelato Messina which was dekat bandar like the city area


and gelato Messina was eh what flavours were there lupa ah, but okay but you know the farm like the van diemen's one had err more like, farm and natural kind of flavours like the berries pepperberry and macam all those like fruity kind of flavors but gelato Messina was like hip ah macam modern


so macam I don't know eh, eh Amorino yang mana satu [seh], yes yes I remember Amorino was the one where they shape the ice cream macam bunga like that macam the petals was that the one


yup you know that one ya that was UK but macam tak memorable sangat ah, ya but if I had to pick, uh oh it's a tough one err macam mana eh err, Amorino K Amorino is off the question van diemen's for the flavours and Messina for the range


ya I think, ya because but !wow! Messina has that much flavours that it's so difficult to choose one


ya but like that's a refreshing flavour that I don't think I've ever tried in singapore you know what, apple cranberry are you serious, no that's like just purely like apple like granny smith apple and cinnamon but that's not like a super unique or anything ah


gelato Messina ah hands down ya, ah what what do you call it what was it like Yuzu and like seaweed ya so it's like the local palate ya so it depends I guess


ya , eh and the other thing that I really like about, going overseas is that like markets you know like the, the farm what do you call ya farmers' markets and the fresh produce !wah! best [seh]


like I think there was some interesting food also that we find at those markets right


ya best donuts [seh], eh but is it because is it because it was very cold over there so macam you know the experience of eating when it's cold and you're lapar like that just makes you feel that it's the best thing ever


ya,


like that trend hadn't reach singapore's shores is it


oh ya that's eh so actually bombolinis was like pioneered by dunkin donuts, dunkin donuts


uh I think it's the donut itself ah


very unique right, ya ya ya I remember they were like super thick and like !wow! oozing out ah, correct correct ya


like honeycomb custard or something !wow!, !wow! like mind blowing [seh]


ya that was interesting ah ya, eh what what was that like curry curry eh


ah thai green curry eh, I I remember I remember there was something like


ah plantains ya correct, I'm not sure if that that's the same thing as banana or not, they grill or fried I can't remember but it was actually quite nice lah


oh to like caramelized the whole thing ah is it, eh eh mana nak dapat ah


that was also like a random find right


what's dragon's den tak pernah dengar [seh]


oh K okay okay


ya, how did you know that she was actually in dragon's den as in, oh macam like the article like she published or something eh


ah okay okay okay, miss all the good food [seh] overseas but I miss ya I miss that we had to be resourceful also overseas macam masak sendiri and all [kan]


ya, like you know when we were craving for


satisfy, ya I mean that was before we found instant Prata over there lah


ya but ya lah I do miss I do miss local food when I'm away, so what was your point again


ya, noodle oodle I think, ya


ya it's things that you miss about your local food that you seek over there lah, just because you were craving and you didn't have it back then [kan] ya tu ah


what what what what do you miss, what was so nice about it ah was it like the spices or apa apa yang sedap sangat ah


okay okay


livable boy sama makan sama hidup eh


ya, that was I think the same area as the pie shop is it, ya actually the pie also not bad also, like I no I remember there was sweet and savoury like things on the menu


and then ya like we shared quite a bit ah we went there I think malam eh, a pie pie face


ya that was nice also , !wah! rindu gila [seh], let me see there was very nice milkshake and jacket potatoes kat UK, ya


ya so that one was really like we drove into a quaint town, like was it even on our on our planning I'm I can't even remember ah, ya


ya correct


ya but you know in all those even despite all those changes and what not like we still managed to chance upon like nice places but, ya I think that was some some things which are unplanned are just, ya I just like


I guess ah I guess, like like I didn't even know something macam so basic and simple can taste so sedap you know what I mean


ya milkshake and skittles and wait apa what was the filling dalam jacket potato dia lupa ah, ya macam I don't think it was tuna what was it ah just like sour cream eh it was ya something like really simple but remember kita order lepas tu kita order lagi lepas tu ya it was that good ah


ya, of course lah we had to what, ya


ya like it's so ya I don't know robably like ya like you said ah before the freshness of the produce and macam ya things are just, probably like


I don't know, more abundant over there,


ya lah that one standard ah standby duit [jer], ya, no but you know why people spend on prada over there


because compared to when you buy over here it's much cheaper over there ah even though it's in a thousands


you can probably get a few bags for the price of, you know probably one or two bags that you get over here instead so you really save a lot ah, and because those factory outlets [kan] have everything under one roof tau


it's not just one brand tapi macam berlambak ah brand, bicester [kan] bicester, bicester


we were so noob man


oh and then we had to get somebody to service or maintain [kan] yes yes yes


eh it's a once in a lifetime chance [seh] we never know if we are going to pass by that place again lor


so right what eh did we go to any theme parks ah kat sana like I can't remember like during our trip, trying to recall lah, err


I think we tried to stay away from the theme parks right, enchanted garden or something


the one that we sat on the float and then like we slide down the slope apa eh what is it called ah, no no no it's not luge


ya but basically there was that fun huge float kita duduk kat dalam lepas tu we just slide down the slope ya get it is it, ya that was nice and then that was this eh mahal eh


fifty eh, fifty sing ah, ah okay eh what what else was it that we did over there, I think kita ada masuk macam some maze thingy right


ya like you enter a maze and then you try to find your way out, ya and then , ya I just remember that that thingy ah what is it called ah, not not rafting ah lupa ah


oh then kita ada masuk tu haunted house haunted house


ya, that was like a house of mirrors, ,


but ya ya that I think that was just one of the theme parks that we went to lah eh but the beaches there were nice eh, beaches I remember we had fish and chips at one of the beaches


err no ah bondi ah bondi kat australia, ya at UK did we go to any beaches trying to remember, we did we did ya we did I remember a photo at the beach ya correct portsmouth


we really miss the nature ah, ya I mean that's something in that you don't have, an abundance of in singapore, ya eh but malaysia nature not bad leh actually


ya,


no lah you know whenever we track inside like the canopies like within the canopies, ya like it's cooling, ya


like I think we managed to find water like three or four waterfalls ya, ya it can layer on lagi eh kat dalam forests kena layer on [seh]


ya but okay lah I mean like okay Langkawi has nice beaches, okay lah it's hot no doubt about that probably you got to choose the correct time to go but


unfortunately when it's in asia when it's cool it rains, ya , when we can ah while we can


ya my friend has said nice things about spain actually I want to go to spain, you've been to spain and ya I have uh know two thousand maybe


wait what did you go to spain for


oh


eh but you were travelling when you were still a student is it, but err tu ah like last time I never had a chance to travel as a student so like how how different was it travelling like as a student compared to you know when you're working and you have like more money and stuff


like I am sure you had to save up to do certain thing I mean macam you've got to plan around your budget and everything [kan]


eh sabar belgium is germany right


and then, so wait the cab fare was mahal gila or what, so the cab fare was more than that bus fare ah


Ish rabak or what, !huh!, so basically you were trying to catch your train err trying to catch your flight you mean


serious, oh my goodness so did you manage to catch your flight


, okay okay and like the timing wise


wait wait wait wait wait wait at the start of you trip you guys [dah] takde duit apa [seh], okay no cash on hand lah you mean


okay, , oh faham faham K K and then


(uh huh), okay okay, belgium right belgium muslim in belgium okay


ah so like he kena switched on dia punya meter ah


oh I see like how much it's supposed to cost ah, okay okay no lah because I'm just wondering macam you know some places like you have to switch on your meter because like they they need to


ya it's like a regulation thing ya, oh !wah! were you like halfway through at least


okay okay okay, that was the amount that you were gonna pay him lah,


confirm tengah panic eh pasal macam dah lah lambat then you have to find your gate and everything like oh my goodness, start of an adventure eh, so what what other things did you guys run into over there


eh wait but you guys managed to watch the game also or you guys just happened to like join in the celebration


I see


ya ya like uh,


, oh I see so how did you guys get back to your accommodation after that , ya after you spend all your money on a taxi fare confirm ah kena jalan balik [kan]


and then as like budget students how did you guys manage your food and and other stuff like expenses, serious eh roti and tuna everyday okay I don't think I can do that


no, ya ya ya cause I I think I remember like a hostel dot com or something,


okay


wait wait let me guess let me guess, is it because the Prata was huge, then, oh


but as in they served it on the side or memang it's it's really like with the sugar and all


ya at least this guy was nice enough not to capitalise on your, on your , ah okay okay okay, but they didn't sell any plain type just like the the manis one oh okay okay so it's just how they eat it over there lah


I see I see, yup


so what siesta time basically macam nap time lunch time nap eh, oh, but if they have a siesta okay because this is something new to me lah I've never I've never encountered this before so


okay that's not too bad, because you know how like in australia they will like close their shops by like five or six except for weekends and thursdays or something like that, ya ya which is I think fair for the employees ah it's just the shoppers will probably be like ah what are we going to do now at such an early time like uh we still want to shop


, he pernah kerja at malaysia or singapore is it, oh K K eh what was he doing in madrid


is that something you would consider like working overseas


, yup yup yup yup yup, ya working overseas is something okay lah not a lifelong dream but


ya lah ya lah that's true I mean until you're really put in their situation then you will understand you know like, what it demands of you and whether you like it or not, cause like travelling is like a totally different thing but working and staying over there like the day to day thing is different from holiday happy happy [kan]


ya ya that's why lah, , like would you say that canada is a livable country totally


!wow! okay, , , but when you say community do you mean because you were studying at that time right so when you say community do you just mean that it was like the uni like your circle of friends who you met there or community at large macam like you know the muslim probably like the muslim network outside of your studying


circles and stuff, oh but how did you find out about your ni the circles outside of your school


active eh ah okay


[oh] right right okay, ya so you've really got to immerse yourself in the experience of fasting overseas [ah]


I'm fine thank you, how's your family


ah, ya second one is a boy right, oh I'm still looking for someone, I'm only twenty plus


it's okay macam melayu cakap kalau jodoh tak ke mana (ppc) so what are your plans for this weekend


oh, uh I'm not sure but I'm going to meet some friends would you like to join us, I think it you might know them because some of them are our former ah schoolmates


oh yes Ahmad is there uh dia sekarang dah kahwin dia ada uh think four or five kids


no lah it's okay ah rezeki masing-masing ah so are you not going out with your family today


oh you're into baking now !wah! that's nice !wah! must try some of your cake soon ah, okay sure but what are we going to do this weekend


ah movie but ah during this pandemic kind of hard lah because I think with the crowd control and all


!wah! netflix and chill ah, err I don't know uh only so far only a few have confirmed but uh, I will update you ah on the rest maybe about four five of us


ya that would be a good idea, can lah uh, will update you later so


what how, so how are your kids at school


ah, but is it too young for them to start, going to tuition at this age she's only six years old [kan]


ya, think the education system in singapore is such that err everyone is competing uh so, it's, it has its pros and cons ah like to prepare your kids but for them to


be stressed at such an early age, like kesian [kan]


ya but , slowly lah but surely uh I think if your kids just study hard and, show you and your husband that, they become


this do well in school I think it's important lah they just try their best lah, and


I I do have other maybe uh I think I can ask them but I don't know how much their rates are


oh oh, [orh] okay okay I understand I can ask for you lah then, err we'll see what we can arrange


err, !wah! you sit down at coffeeshop ah I thought you Atas one


oh you you full time housewife ah, good lah, actually it's better for to me lah personally I think it's good that you are taking care of your kids rather than


like hiring a maid or something, because some I've heard of cases where maid like don't really do their job I don't know


ya I think it's costly to to get a maid to have a maid in singapore err I think err


they have levy, then when you first, I think it's quite, expensive ah then must add into your income I don't know, then I think they should also have a rest day uh some owners also like abuse their maid lah so that's not right lah I feel


(ppc), ya there's uh the other few cases in singapore about maid abuse ah think they accuse maid of stealing, and some even like pour boiling water at the maid


ya I think it's on the news lah but you just have to be updated lah now with the


COVID nineteen ah (ppc) I think a lot of us are restricted in so many ways, can can, can engage maid but I think it'll be the price will be higher because I think your maid have to go for check the swab test all that lah before they are cleared to do cleaning oh


(ppc)


oh must take care of your health now lah, like but I think if now if you go to any, uh GP I think if your doctor if you have a slight fever or cough or sneeze think they will give you like five days MC and ask you to monitor


ya lah for those who are working lah they will give you like, to check on yourself, err so that that because they don't want this to spread


around right, ya but ni adalah satu uh precaution for us to take ya so kita perlu berhati-hati lah


ah, so penyakit ni boleh jangkit siapa-siapa pun tak kira muda atau tua tapi bila dah sakit nanti susah pula tak boleh keluar kerja tak boleh jumpa kawan-kawan duduk rumah [jer]


uh Alhamdulilah so far, I'm okay lah maybe, got, headache


migraine maybe because insufficient rest uh because of work ah, politic lah then you got a lot of new things and we have to do the what uh


safety measure measurement at work cause yes, now currently we have this installation uh of Doraemon at the national museum it's interesting lah but


since it's the holidays [kan] banyak orang-orang datang uh visit museum, so kalau you nak datang dengan family nak kena datang on weekdays


unless I'm there lah then I can maybe give you special


special queue, ya december holidays, ya so ya lah kind of sad pasal tengah holiday sekarang but we have nowhere to go


ah, oh ya ya I've read about it but belum ada time lah to redeem tour voucher


uh, for kids ada tu vouchers I think it's only for adults ya then I think you can


uh claim it, online ah so it's not that bad lah hundred dollars pun jadi lah [kan]


oh usually you go to Johor ah and do your shopping


understand ya I think uh COVID nineteen ni menjejas banyak singaporean


then ya lah kita tak boleh keluar rumah tak boleh keluar negeri susah ah nak pergi holiday pun tak boleh kesian tapi itu lah , it's like they say prevention is better than cure ya so pasal I think malaysia pun sekarang masih ada banyak case ah so it's still unstable lah


I think so far our government has done well lah to control ya ya cause if not think like in the US like getting worse,


oh


ah so it's like, uh they have different sizes lah and, uh they cater also for kids,


ah no lah I think it's just protection the mask think surgical mask pun can do its job lah, , ya true


ya lah sekarang pun yang baru-baru case dekat tampines mall tu !wah!, because I was there then I think a few days I think one day later think they announced that there's a case of COVID nineteen at tampines mall terperanjat [seh]


ya, ya but surprisingly


I mean yang in the community lah


I think they are currently, preparing ah for phase three to roll out but ya lah depends also on I think, as singaporeans, to be on alert lah it's important lah for us to be on alert


ya I think baru semalam news uh that people are queuing over at mana eh, ah foot locker to buy some adidas shoe that was launched ya I don't know that if there was a


crowd control measurement that, in place ah tapi [kan] from the look of the photos tak ada [jer] think these people sometimes are just trying I don't know,


ya lah that's where the christmas light up is lagi so this year has been a challenging year lah ah


ya lah


I think mana-mana affected, you know


ya lah but I think the singapore government is like allowing people to come in for work for business ah cuma are required to have the mandatory swab test then uh like


stay home notice ya


and I think uh for those who are coming in I think


uh they need to do the swab test daily I'm not sure ah I'm not sure how it works exactly ya but they are required lah eh even when they come in they have to do the swab test lah, ah


ya thankfully


a, yes yes


uh I think the hired or those who were inexperienced or did not have, proper work


can undergo training before they can do the uh the conduct the test


was asked to leave I think he got a job as a security lah err and considered is also a high risk because err he's taking care


of, those who are, quarantined in the dorm uh, but actually they're paying quite, high lah is about fifteen dollars per hour


ya, ya I think, ya they have to put on the PPE the personal protective equipment which consists of the gown the mask the goggles all that lah because they don't want to


be in contact ah ya don't want to be exposed to this uh and even when he he's finished his job think he ask uh his family to prepare like a bucket of water with soap so that he can uh remove his clothes outside his house uh ya


but actually before he go back so he already shower at the at his workplace lah so it's just an, additional steps ah precaution ya, ah


ya you see, ya actually quite kesian ah in this situation macam banyak orang ada family but


ah so it's not easy ah it's quite


ya I think ya the government , our government has taken like


measure steps ah I think which is quite good lah for all lah even though maybe some of us feel that we are restricted tak boleh keluar ke apa but still it's for our own good lah


a few cartons eh I think at home then now they are like selling the mask, but sometimes I think ya, it's best to be safe lah, got some quality is not that good ah


ya but for kids you can actually buy for them


the specially designed mask ah, think they will if they like something they will probably wear it longer


ya but I don't know how berapa bagus yang reusable punya mask


ya but, no lah I think you should the government issuing masks for, the ones that are washable I think still can still can last lah err for a few months then but you have to


wash lah I think you have a few and the ones that recyclable then just are reuse lah,


err according to the, safety measurement I think


, ya can okay lah that's an idea but


think kalau the atmosphere is different lah when you dining outside err dengan makan kat rumah [kan]


ya with this COVID I think


you just need to


oh beli barang banyak-banyak rakan kerja saya pun ada nasi uh three or four packets for a family of


ah three [kan] , (ppc)


ya lah kesian yang orang-orang yang ya lah tak ada pendapatan tapi saya rasa NTUC ada juga restriction on every household that can buy certain like rice like maybe two packets of rice per household


betul tu uh there's a lot of platform yang go digital so I think uh everyone every household actually needs like a smartphone like a laptop ah these are now necessities


(mmhmm)


, ya I think uh a lot of companies are like working from home and stay at home when they can lah so it's best they do so lah during this period but then your brother is from the airline industry airline industry I think is badly affected [seh] ya I think my friends either yang kena retrenched at an early age eh


feels also quite sad lah for those who have a family like they suddenly like thought that the airline industry is like like iron fist or something ah but now look what happened


ya I think, ya having a pay cut


it's also bad lah but it's better than not having no job and all lah ya because you still have a family have bills to pay ya


ya lah, (ppc), ya lah it's tiring lah even my friend who used to work at the museum he's now uh doing grab but grab is also affected err think there was once during the circuit breaker period I think he


send the car back because he couldn't pay the rental only after phase two only he uh took back the car ya but still it's not doing well lah he has to work about fourteen to fifteen hours to cover rental uh


ya kesian [kan]


I think dia tak akan take the swabber paying job lah pasal I think he has more kids at home kesian takut he'll be affected lah even though he'll be OCD uh think, he has his reasons lah for not doing that kind even though it's uh gaji tinggi but still dia tak kalau boleh tak mahu dedahkan uh


to the family lah


true lah I think , the government implementing a lot of err help for those, , need them ah they also I think they have set up this SG united where they can have families the elderlies and those who are you need lah ya


because I think, quite a lot of singaporeans affected by this and like, think since march ah I think know and now it's like coming to the end of the year and we haven't like got a proper vaccine to counter this ya you know the other day and another friend of mine about india india actually came up with a vaccine


ya it's quite scary but hopefully ya lah things will get better lah think I think for singaporean ah they the


this is still contained and hopefully there won't be anymore new cases ah that can affect us


ya where should we go to makan what is your favourite food, Prata, uh there's a Prata at #sin ming# I think it's quite nice it's run by a family uh father and a son


can can , can ah maybe I want to try eat the Briyani ah, the Briyani is quite nice ah I think the chicken, very soft very tender ya I think compared


to other places I think that's one of the best ah, err what do you want to order I help you order


the Briyani or the Prata coin is also nice, and it's, I think just the right


taste ah, can, uh I think I eat Briyani with uh fried chicken lah because the chicken today (ppc) they fry just nice to my liking ah


then what drinks do you want, Teh Peng Teh Peng (ppc), Teh with ice eh


ya but I think is not that good to always drink Teh with ice ice


then you can just order mineral water think it's better lah at this I think for us at this times we must really take care of our health err and also see what eat we eat, ah and also see what we eat


okay, can, uh, anything else, !wah! there's a lot of people in the queue


digital, uh you order lah since you are very good using app


Briyani chicken, ya fried chicken, , ah yes


oh so we have to pick up or, oh okay oh that's, !wah! see sekarang semua dah high tech


ya I understand but err I volunteered with err an organisation that is helping the elderly like to buy food err to buy groceries so that they will minimize err their movement outside ah so they can actually err contact us and have like medication


uh you can buy for them and then send it to their homes , ya lah I think it's a long way to help our seniors uh


because I think if they are exposed to this I think probably they're they're prone because their immune system not as strong as before


no this is uh I think done by government agencies ah they (ppc) they set up to help out the elderly the seniors uh so that they will not be exposed much ah so as and when they need help they just contact the agencies ah then we will be there to send groceries medication uh food


ya I think is yup, I think you can volunteer lah through the organisation I will give you a contact person so that maybe can ask eh for more information lah ya


ya at this point memang ah it's not


, not right to be walking on their own tapi ia untuk kebaikan dia orang pasal kalau dia orang dah Terexpose dengan COVID ni I think it will take masa yang panjang untuk dia orang to recover to get well ah kesian I'm looking at my mother who's asthmatic [kan] macam I try not to let her out of the house as much but sometimes you know they want to go out have fresh air ya kesian [kan]


free ah


betul tu abeh lagi cause my parents are staying on their own kesian [kan] (ppc) we don't get to meet them as much abeh ada some old folks tak tahu pakai smartphone so lagi tak jumpa anak-anak cucu-cucu so kesian dia orang so masa-masa gini lah kita patut berwaspada even though it's sad but we have to follow lah


so kesian so, communication, is


actually in the market now there's quite a number of phones lah yang mereka boleh gunakan cuma iya lah nak kena ajar mereka tu mungkin mengambil masa lah


, , ya lah, data, , that's why it's uh important lah to untuk mereka update dengan keep with the trend apa yang berlaku bukan jadi trendy lah cuma keep up with the times


balik semula kehidupan yang normal


oh the air bubble for hong-kong ya I also heard that but ya, think it takes a lot of effort ah to go back like we were normal I think this is the new normal ah


(mmhmm)


ya lah, oh bagus tu idea staycation


, ya think


when it gets better I think we have to follow the, safety measurement ruling ya there's a lot of new policies that they will come up with and we just have to abide lah


ah, oh itu safe distance ambassador


the social distancing ah, okay lah ada yang volunteer ada yang dibayar gaji ni part of the


government agency yang SG united


uh dengar kata dan tak lawan peraturan-peraturan , ah social distancing ambassador


ah


uh tu dia orang tu dah nak hantar boleh lah


my family is good now my girl is going primary one then the other one is


four years old, ya a boy eh what about you ah, looking for someone ah, how old are you ah


!haiya! still got a long time to search for the uh for the right one lah, this weekend no plan what about you


who are these people do I know them, I see


oh is Ahmad there, !wah!


cannot beat him lah, no not today lah because today I got some baking to do then I ask them to stay at my mum's place


can can maybe I can bring this weekend then you can try, maybe want to watch a movie and then we go picnic


oh that's true ah, but, you are bringing how many friends then maybe can come to my house


can lah I don't mind then I can cook something for you guys and then we can just chill and then we can catch up


so far I think they're okay just that the girl is going to primary one now


so I'm not so sure how is she going to cope, I'm actually looking for a tuition teacher now for her do you think I'm crazy


ya but singapore is so competitive I'm just worried about her, !hais!, what do you think


ya but last time you don't have this stress now everything is about good marks good school !hais! stress lah


but I still think like we need, a tuition teacher because my husband feel feel that we should start young eh you got any tuition friend or not


tuition teacher, ah but I think there are different rates for this, maybe about forty to fifty


I want them to come to my house lah I don't want to travel out already very tiring you know, good good thank you thank you


eh so uh you wanna sit down somewhere like coffeeshop or something, where got Atas you lah you work in what museum don't know what I not working eh


ya lah why, ya lah my, ya my husband want me to jaga anak-anak and don't want me to work !wah! so good right my husband, wait lah


actually true lah because every time I fetch my kids ah then I see the maid like, just on their phone ah then never never even like take care of the kids some of them just allow the kids to run !haiya! crazy ah I don't know why this


these err their bosses ah never check on them


abuse


ya lah so, abuse what you mean by you abuse, so serious


[orh] you see lah I stay home so long ah never even read news !hais! I think I must start reading news to keep up myself


ya eh now COVID then how they want to engage maid, can or not ah


oh !wah! like that leceh lah


I think I rather stay home, keep my home clean, then masak for my husband and kids then ya I feel safer for that lah


five days MC, so, oh


five days MC is so long imagine you sakit then after that you kena five days MC, !wah!, (hmm)


(uh huh), oh , stress at work,


ah, eh now got what exhibition over there


!wow! , but,


ah tengok lah bila my husband on leave cause ke sebab sekarang [kan] december holiday [kan]


so a lot of people uh take leave


eh you redeem already, (hmm)


managed to book a few, attraction, so I don't know how it works, for kids one they they get this hundred dollars ke you see lah I haven't got the chance to redeem it


[orh],


ya lor tapi complain cakap yang ini mahal lah, because staycation is known to everyone that memang mahal but I think


government dah kasih duit tu is good enough, ya that's true, !hais! susah lah I'm waiting for the COVID to go off so I can


go johor, and then I can buy all my baking stuff, ya, but now COVID I don't have you know we we can't travel out and then everything over here is so expensive


so at least when I I get to go Johor at least I make a bit more profit,


, ya


ya, , ya, malaysia sepatutnya kasih singaporean masuk I think january but I think sebab case dia orang tiba-tiba naik I don't think it will come that fast lah


, ya that's true lah eh you know about talking about government ah they give the free mask new one I haven't collect yet and then the the best thing is they have the


the mask for kids so just have to measure, how big is your face if I'm not wrong


ah then my friend tried it then, the I think the quality got a bit better tapi the inside you can actually put the filter


then the dia punya outer layer yang kena mulut tu is actually very silky so I tak sure lah benda tu really works because ended up my friend felt that it's uncomfortable especially under the hot sun


well, know, ya tapi surgical mask need to buy every single time and need to change everyday


oh yang apa tu makan dekat Seoul garden ke apa tu eh, oh my that one to bring like what the whole family macam reunion dinner


ya lah but tapi orang-orang ni pun kena lah jaga apa the


and then they think it's a good time to actually meet their friends and family and until now phase number three pun masih belum ada apa-apa so I really don't know when phase number three is coming up


, [kan] the cases just go up and you don't know who is infected


lagi kat got orchard then now what dia orang punya christmas period I think tak ada lah mesti orang-orang ni mesti still have to go to orchard to to buy all these stuff


, but I think this year challenging but, something different so meaning we can actually live without


going out of the country lah but of course at one point we, we are bored, like my kids keep on asking me when are we going holiday, because we usually go , like malaysia every week every saturday or sunday


but now we're always staying at home you know I have to come up with some activities for them ya


, ya that's true,


ya, I think more for us about, we don't have , enough people it's about, you know banyak malaysian kerja kat sini [kan]


so most of them are affected and then if you see think my husband said that about the homeless people not homeless lah


ya lah that's true tapi at least dia orang come up with some apa tu nama dia solution for the malaysian lah I heard that they give , place to sleep and they even have some like basket food


to to give to the malaysians stranded in singapore, ya


like the sayur like all those foods lah you think they have to go swab test every single time or valid for a few weeks or days


daily ah , ,


!wah! eh you never undergo swab test before right, that's good that's good,


okay, , eh you remember or not yang masa the first time yang COVID nineteen ni keluar at news then they were asking for people to be yang swabbers


eh you have any friends working for that or not sebab dia orang tak train [kan]


ah


(hmm), oh


fifteen dollars per hour, then apa dia wear those protective gear, (mmhmm)


(hmm), expose lah


oh


, precautionary order at , !wah! leceh juga eh but I really pity those yang


housewife just like me,


(mmhmm)


they know better lah


, , , that's true


eh ah I wanted to ask you something, your you have any friends who, who sell cheap mask or not


(mmhmm), !huh!, is, we'll see, (uh huh)


a few cartons , , ya that's true, then you know kids keep on


(hmm), ya maybe I should just by those reusable ones


that's why because I feel safer using the surgical mask actually for the kids tapi of course it's a added cost lah imagine sekarang berapa fifteen to eighteen dollars per box


(mmhmm),


, can lah if not you can just order in


, ya that's true


but tu lah COVID lah restricted


but it's quite expensive lah but, they're at home doing the same thing so I think a staycation would be a good getaway for them


okay selalunya saya buat kuih-muih melayu then birthday cake then kalau saya time


eh


everything in the supermarket is like sold out, even the smallest things like what like ketchup or chilli sauce it's very hard to find the brand that you always use, do you agree


ya tapi mana lah orang ni nak ikut undang-undang so maybe what they can what I heard was they go to one NTUC and then they go to another NTUC in around the same vicinity so I think people are quite smart but at the end of the day you are depriving the rest lah


, (hmm) ya


ya that's true but it's not very cheap you know so what I do was I borrowed my brother's laptop for my kids which is a hassle lah but lucky he is not using because he's uh on the airline industry so he doesn't need the laptop so imagine if I don't have because everyone every single singaporean needs a laptop


, ya that's true, (hmm)


ya that's true


, ya, ya, ya very poor thing for those who have been retrenched lah I think I would rather have a pay cut


than not having a job, what about you what do you think, having nothing right ya


(hmm), some of them even went to uh try, doing the delivery like grab apa lagi eh deliveroo I mean it's a decent job but


!wah! it's really you have to work extra hard for this uh, (mmhmm)


, oh, oh


, that's long, maybe you you remember that we talked about the swabber he didn't want to try that I mean it's a risk job but at least it's paying uh well


, oh, (mmhmm)


, I think remember just now we also spoke about the swabbers right


then my friend went for a swab test and apparently, they have a lot of what is a holding area for for them to do swabbing test, then


I see a lot of them so I think most of them are you know they took up that job to just to, to, survive lah on a monthly basis, it's not an easy job I must say because you never know who


who you encounter with, especially when, you are so exposed to COVID, and then you never know if the person that you are doing swabbing is actually, having that symptom of COVID nineteen


so I think people with uh young kids sepatutnya maybe could just do something else lah, there are maybe other jobs that community centres give, and then can also go to skill futures


to seek help, ,


, ya


, ya, you know the other day I heard another friend of mine so about india so india actually came out with a vaccine, but unfortunately when they tried on a person the person went blind and paralysed I'm not so sure how true is the story but if it's true it's quite scary because you really don't know


what kind of vaccine will actually work, for the majority, scary [kan]


(mmhmm), ya, eh kita ni asyik cakap pasal government aje dah lah kita cakap pasal makanan pula lah I'm hungry already do you want to eat


Prata, , ya ya ya that is my favourite too should we go there


ah okay eh that's the shop so come let's take a seat now


okay so I want, , two Prata, egg, an then, and one what else ah just now you recommend what


ah maybe I take the Prata coin instead lah, is the curry very nice, oh


ah okay lah then I take one set of that, can buy one plate for me, okay what are you eating


ah, , [orh], oh, maybe I want one


Teh Peng, no Teh with milk and ice


why but it's so hot now I need cold drink to make me feel fresher


ah, okay lah then I take one mineral water


no I think that's all for now, [orh], maybe this will take a bit more time ah, eh they have this food app that you can order online maybe you can order and then we just sit down and then they will send us the food


have you tried this, , okay so you ordering or I order


okay can I will just order point coin Prata, with kentang then yourself is, Briyani chicken fried one


and then water mineral water also for yourself mineral water, okay settled mineral water, okay so the food will arrive in, !wah! fifteen minutes okay


oh no they will send to us, ya so because there's table number indicate over here so I just write down our table number ya,


but by having this kind of high tech technology eh you see for older generation yang betul-betul tak tahu pakai app they have to go a longer way to to even buy food which is a necessity


(hmm), (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), ah, that's good


so , (mmhmm)


oh so how did you get to know about this like how do you volunteer is it through CC or because I don't see this anywhere


so people like us cannot cannot set up like cannot help, (mmhmm)


oh, cause you imagine orang-orang tua lagi they wanted fresh air they just want to go out you know but of course at this time especially the CB period dia orang tak boleh keluar tak boleh you know do the normal stuff like even going down


lah, ,


, (mmhmm)


, ya that's true, cause I think at their age the more they want to be


(mmhmm), , ya


, you was hoping that your parents or any elderly will know how to use handphone because that is the only communication that you can use especially when you really want to see the other person because but unfortunately most of our parents doesn't know how to use it lah


(mmhmm),


though,


then


(mmhmm), ,


(mmhmm)


(mmhmm) (mmhmm),


keluar especially Bangkok [kan] ,


I mean Shiok lor


free lah to do whatever they want but of course within that eight person limit


, , ya, eh


oh


oh social distancing ambassador, ,


(uh huh), oh,


, , oh


ah, (uh huh),


the exams are like cut off about, exam are replaced with err graded assignments


so I had to like research like yesterday I had to research like a banyak benda ah so


I just couldn't do anything, even like school related work I didn't even had I didn't even finish my work yesterday ah ah


half half macam macam fifty percent punya reflection journal a'ah ya it was just a fifty fifty then I just submit, ya itu [jer] abeh like


like you saw ah macam I just macam mandi terus tidur terus lepak habis !oi!


eh but your poly days macam lagi rabak because, you design tau like, like creativity like err macam ah


no because three point one is more of macam internship tau and these tuesday ada briefing on the internship ah and then, like honestly I'm actually afraid of it macam I don't know because macam okay macam I don't know eh because of your experience I don't know even though like you're experienced kau macam put it in a beautiful way


I know but just I'm I'm just afraid that something I cannot remember I did this and this or did I forget or


but at your internship in the pass there is another someone that intern from your school from your class and someone that you have met before, ya what if I don't have someone like that


ah


(hmm)


but you know what uh I had this one senior the internship was during the CB period yes so, no, okay I think I would like love to be in that situation because the internship is at home HBL HBL no I mean err ya it was at home so like but quite like mendak macam like err no err so like


because ya so they are she interacted with her supervisors or like the one that yang assigned dia through, zoom or ah microsoft teams


oh she is uh in human resource, ya but that point of time almost everyone had to, ah work from school even internship eh ah ya from home I mean, ah so like so the only task like


she was given like mostly it was research, I don't know lah dia tak elaborate ah but but yeah it was mostly a research, and like even but then right


but then during CB period like almost everyone had to like stop going to work what, but you can still like send your work through emails or something like that what


I mean like most probably like one work one operator ya then have to go to work


no ya for especially year ones because ya I had a friend in year one okay first [kan] orientation they cut off so like they couldn't like macam familiarise the building ya because during orientation right I like at least I can get the glimpse of how the things work over there how to go to this building how to go to that building tapi for my friend right the orientation is cut off so she never even like even like


have friends like she cannot even make friends like just just in case like and but then


like suddenly they had to use microsoft teams and the ah school punya website


how am I supposed to berbual with this person gitu ah, actually diff races okay lah


but then one thing I don't regret I mean I did not regret masuk poly ya but, but I didn't regret masuk poly because like because certain things macam how, okay so aku macam old schools sikit computer I'm not like


I'm not I don't know how to operate a computer ya ya I was I couldn't even I don't even know how to like eject thumb drive that is how kental I am


what is happening what is happening I don't know a thing but then right in polytechnic I, acquired many skills that I think that if I go to pre-university or, diploma ah outside private school I couldn't I don't have that skills like and I would be still that clueless girl


like I don't know I don't know ah macam if I think that macam eh, why like will I like explore these kind of things like


oh my god, oh you mean secondary school or what, oh primary five then I still in the kindergarten lah


no wonder kau selalu pergi library I thought it was to like to baca buku no


youtube game Y eight Y seven Y two, because I think because you had no one to refer though because at least for me right


okay so okay so okay ah, but at that point of time I was


just a small girl so I couldn't even help you I don't even understand like what kind of situation you are in even then so macam I tak boleh tak tolong apa-apa because I just look at the bright side like how you get all these things daripada mami dan Abi macam dapat ni dapat tu macam semua benda everything first hand aku selalu dapat second or third hand aku macam I was kind of jealous at that point of time tapi that


I, not deserve lah macam okay lah deserve lah sikit deserve lah


messenger


true lah


eighteen oh ya, (hmm)


okay firstly [kan] since ah okay so the teachers pun macam tahu ah like how they stress on O-level O-level O-level but then right and my classmates semua macam ah heck care macam aku tak nak kesah pun pasal benda ni just it was that bad uh like even like teacher pun macam what


why is this class not like taking it seriously, why not have fun macam macam this is the last few days sebelum like macam like some macam ya macam ya


not something to be like, a good memory lah so like our class macam quite


I couldn't like macam act serabak dorang lah like I couldn't be that rebel or something like that ya and even because and the monitor at that point of time, like absent for like out of five days leh


three days absent and and even if he was present, he didn't do anything
