he also there is a book ah there is a book, err Kattabomman <tamil>கொலைகாரன்:kolaikaaran</tamil> there is a book written by I think his father it will be how he interpret maybe some truth in err how which way you are looking at that's all


which angle you are looking at that's all bad about him yes that is their opinion


so there will be a neutral form err ya


ah


[orh], [orh] okay, ah common people [orh]


[orh] okay okay <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> you just leaave it remain, ah, #solomon pappaiah#


err I think should be about thirty two minutes we shall we take a break sir we're working now I'm working in SIA engineering company err now I join in ninety six err almost twenty four years now


I started as a technician then I start to to err upgrade myself I took my diploma, and I err, also took CAS examinations to become an engineer from technician now I'm a senior engineer in aircraft maintenance


of course very much , it give me an opportunity to travel every year free ticket to wherever SQ flies, ya ya ya of course it's also stressful at times equally, err because the deadlines are very strict aircraft have to leave on the time means die die have to leave on that time so as an engineer it's very stressful


ah, and err I have err some these Boeing seven four seven and Boeing two two seven, and A three eighty and A three fifty I have four licences


ya ya still have only cargo airplanes now, because now err the new technology, four engine seven four seven has four engines so tend to consume more fuel so now everywhere is looking into more fuel


conserve type of engines, working hour is I'm working in err heavy maintenance which is do the schedule, checks every err, the air craft will come to hangar where we park the air plane it's called hangar it'll come only every six months once for its check


err check check takes about two to three days, sit check is every year that, maybe around err one week time, err heavy check is once in five years or once in six seven years depends on the type of air plane


that will cost that will take about a month, we need remove everything do a thorough, special inspection, ah technical check up


actually every time the pilot took the air craft they have err books which is called technology log technology log one destination to another destination they have to open a new page, and they need to write down where they are going to and during the flight they encounter any issues with the indication or minor things


like the some cannot hear properly on the microphone to err big, technical difficulties they face during like they need to enter, if nothing happens they just write nil defects as an engineer receiving engineer once the plane touched down


go to the RAM err be received by a licenced air craft maintenance engineer his job is to go up to the cockpit and look how was the flight is there anything he wrote which is going to be a air worthiness issue threatening the aircraft safety, for the next flight whether you really need to fix it how we can let it fly


yes, no need actually because we can err do the engine on ground itself which we'll be able to find out whether the engine is okay


fit for flight the test we are allowed to do a test I mean we can err run the engine if it is a the bay itself we can run idle power if it is something like some component we change err if it is a major component need to bring it


to special bay called engine high power run down there we can do a high power run with the take-off power, ah then can see any difficulties, so that will be good enough


err very hard to say technical problem, this means that uh like for example some, the classic example now is a seven three seven, err maximum


I think you heard about it in the news in the second plane crash and the initial one indonesia plane crash then err people think that err it's the pilot error and all those things then the second plane crash then it has become, worldwide news and err Boeing involved none of the all the airlines


asked to cease operation err that is, that kind of err thing is some to some extent is the design the training itself


technical check, on the routine flight that means the aircraft is still keep flying


then enginer change will easily takes one day or minimum is one day twenty four hours which is a rotating shifts job, our training our own training and err <tamil>எல்லாரும் முன்னாடிலாம் வந்து கொஞ்ச பேர் இருந்தாங்க நிறைய பேர்:ellarum munnadilaam vanthu konja per irunthanga niraya per</tamil> foreign enginers <tamil>லாம் இருந்தாங்க இப்ப வந்து சொல்ல போனா:laam irunthanga ippa vanthu solla pona</tamil> almost


ninety nine percent <tamil>வந்து எல்லாம்:vanthu ellam</tamil> local engineers, we constantly SIA have a recruitment plan err <tamil>முன்னாடிலாம் வந்து:munnadilaam vanthu</tamil> diploma <tamil>படிச்சவங்களே எடுத்து:padichavangalae eduthu</tamil> train up <tamil>பண்ணிட்டு இருந்தாங்க:pannitu irunthanga</tamil> now they took degree holders, degree holders then err because regardless of their background they need to pass those CAS exams


err they have to complete they maybe come from err aero nautical engineering course from the university but they still need to take these papers but some of the subjects may cover in their degree program, they still need to complete the CAS basic program err basic licencing requirements


ah


err then err <tamil>நமக்கு வந்து அந்த:namakku vanthu antha</tamil> drawing background leh <tamil>இருக்குறதால:irukurathalae</tamil> we can pick up things, known as err high liability industry <tamil>எங்க வேல:enga vela</tamil> like err operation <tamil>பன்றாருளே:panraarulae</tamil> doctor <tamil>அது அது மாரி அவரு உள்ளுக எதும் வச்சு தச்சிர கூடாது இல்லைங்களா அந்த மாரி:athu athu maari avaru ulluka ethum vachu thachchira koodathu illaingala antha maari</tamil> <tamil>நானு வந்து:nanu vanthu</tamil> for <tamil>ன்டு சொல்லுவாங்க:ndu solluvanga</tamil> foreign object defect


whatever we can think of successfully somewhere someone does it


man was sucked in by the engine engine was so powerful when it is in full power you happen to


walk within certain distance you can swallow in, swallow and err slam something like a meat grinder only meat, only meat will be out so, he cried


then we I can finish maintain whatever the cards issued for that, particular check I can finish, then I note just put in extra hours then I get blank, and I try not to plan anything on then when air plane need to handover


ah that one I I try to keep it after my work finish then only I plan because last minute something can, pop up the test or this last minute need to change component need to put in extra hours


then he will distribute to, his technician based on their own strength and weakness who is good at this job this particular job on that basis


err we got no time to check we only know when it come to defect, ah ya ya <tamil>தேவல்ல:thaevalla</tamil> ya definitely it will it will say tell you err


ya ya it will tell for example we just finished the test flight last week I went on the flight, we did a Dubai air wing Dubai air wing is a royal family Dubai royal family they have a few planes for their own personal use it's a customised plane inside have a bedroom bathroom


err shower room , and they have a prayer hall everything seven four seven they modified to their own personal use, that plane almost we did a check to eight months, from tear down until we put back everything together


so in a way that is the, plus point for singapore in the aviation industry, you know recently Rolls Royce, trend one thousand assembly plants in singapore that is used for seven eight seven


so <tamil>அது மாரி நெறய விஷயம்:athu maari neraya vishayam</tamil> Messier-Bugatti or landing gear we remove and send to err Messier-Bugatti they will service the air plane and bring back then we assemble


main <tamil>ஆனா இடமெல்லாம் பாதிப்புனு நினைக்கிறன் இடங்கள் பாத்திருப்பேன்:ana idamellam pathipunu ninaikuraen idangal paathirupaen</tamil> ah


correct ah <tamil>குறிப்பிட்டு சொல்ற மாரி தெரியல்ல:kuripittu solra maari theriyala</tamil> other than durians <tamil>சொல்ல போனிங்கன்னா:solla poninganna</tamil> I still stick to our conventional fruits, rambutan ah rambutan <tamil>பாத்துருக்கிறேன் மரத்துல பாத்ததில்ல:paathurukiraen marathula paathathilla</tamil> oh

(mmhmm), okay, almost one hour ya we are reaching almost there


(err)


hello how are you can I know your name from which area, now you are staying where


#boon keng# #boon keng# is err upper Serangoon road Serangoon road err my name is err #se pa panneer selvam# I'm from Hougang Hougang avenue ten which is very near to the central it's a very big area


in Hougang itself [orh] near the Kopitiam, block four one six side , where did you study for your primary school time


what do you mean by average average means uh uh it's a private school


okay that is one method


oh but how many students were studying with you in one class my time in singapore about forty forty two students then what about the second language <tamil>இப்ப:ippa</tamil> tamil <tamil>லாம் எப்படி படிச்சிங்க:laam eppadi padichinga</tamil> eh class <tamil>லையே சொல்லி கொடுத்தாங்கலா:laiye solli koduthaangala</tamil> or is it some other time


oh how how did they teach you english in in tamil they teach english or , now now now like that but err our singapore primary schools english teacher only talk in english teach english only english err that's err my time there was no chance to err get the meaning of a english word in our language <tamil>இப்ப உங்க ஊர்லயா இருந்தா அவங்களுக்கு தெரியலனா:ippa unga oorlayaa iruntha avankalukku thriyalana</tamil> [dey] <tamil>இப்படின்னு சொன்னா இது மாரிடான்னு சொல்லுவாரு வாத்தியாரு:ippadinnu sonna ithu maaridaannu solluvaaru vaathiyaaru</tamil> we see the difference now


ah ya ah india it is like that singapore no such thing you see you see like the last time we had a teacher missus Leong for chemistry first week in school secondary three


we had some doubts when we ask the question know what she said


err <tamil>அது ஒரு இது மாரி இருக்குது இல்ல பள்ளிக்கூடத்து வாழ்க்க என்ன மறக்க கூடாதுன்னா:athu oru ithu maari irukkuthu illa pallikoodathu vaalkkai enna marakka koodathunna</tamil> err <tamil>பள்ளிகூடத்துல நீங்க பார்த்தீங்கனா வாத்தியார்கள்ளாம் சிலர் நம்ம மனசுலேயே நிப்பாங்க:pallikoodathula neenga paartheengana vathiyaarkallam silar namma manasulaye nippaanga</tamil> because he helped us or maybe they loved us they taught us something which others won't <tamil>இல்லையா உங்களுக்கு அந்த மாரி சில வாத்தியாருங்க இருப்பாங்க:illaya unkalukku antha maari sila vathiyaarunga irupaanga</tamil>


it becomes easy and it becomes part of your life and it's easy for your err reading and writing oh oh [orh] ya


you're right history teacher mister #siva kaarunniyam# he's no more, he will not allow any student to open the textbook in class <tamil>அப்படின்னா அந்த புஸ்தகத்தை தொறக்கவே கூடாது:appadinna antha pusthahathai thorakkave koodathu</tamil> he wants you to listen and he was the one who studied in the university of Kolkata in nineteen forty seven when the country was divided into so many parts


so in singapore what happened when I was in secondary one secondary two, we had wonderful teachers for english literature you know what they will do page one, before going to page one the teacher will talk about the author and the book and the meaning of the title of the book after that


you like the idea, now ah that's why then once it is finishes you know what the teacher will do the characters of the drama all will write on the blackboard err Ramo Sumo all of the names then he will ask the students


who is this man Ramo in the book in the book you know not your friend Ramo <tamil>அத மாரி கேக்க கேக்க எல்லாருக்கும் ஒரு பயம்:atha maari kekka kekka ellaarukkum oru bayam</tamil> history leh <tamil>சில காருண்யம்:sila kaarunniyam</tamil> very good method , india they are not I told sometime okay here or there ah uh


yes yes yes you see he explains what it is


one one more thing literature, to know about the character of one person abour Ramo we must see what Sumo says about him what err Greja says about him so everyone listening you know but when I did err part time BA tamil err you know what they teach mine is Madurai Kamarajar university you know what err the method they taught all the famous professors all came over here


they will prepare about twenty questions, there are forty students ah so twenty questions prepared and err each fellow will do his own research he will come to the class like you do on err <tamil>சிலப்பதிகாரம்:silappathikaaram</tamil> and <tamil>இளங்கோவடிகள்:ilangovadigal</tamil> the topic is <tamil>சிலப்பதிகாரம்:silappathikaaram</tamil> the next man what he does is he talks about Kannaki the other person talks about Kovalan the other person about Madavi that's


twenty two err twenty articles you know three hour class so when we go out of that ah like real lecture then you go home you read then you think I read this somewhere <tamil>அத மாரி சொல்லி கொடுப்பாங்க:atha maari solli koduppaanga</tamil> that means we have very dedicated teachers yes err we had from Madurai university plus err malaysia we had one err


but now it's no more because india wants now Annamalai we have err what I'm they should stop the system because


something wrong in india something wrong with the <tamil>இங்க உள்ள ஏற்பாட்டாளர்கள்:inga ulla etpaattaalargal</tamil> organisation the reason is, you start something you must make sure that your students benefit the organisation benefit


the individual studied in raffles, how is he intelligent how is he developing himself is important


even ah I might have studied in a village school but I've studied well if I had a wonderful teacher mine is also equally good, ah like last time in singapore all our indian people like to buy shirt from the brand Crocodile because Crocodile never fails us white colour whatever but now I don't think we can get it have ah when you touch the material how how's the material !huh! like our old indian people like our uncles <tamil>தாத்தாஸ் பாட்டிஸ்:thathaas paattis</tamil> one they like cotton


but today they mix cotton with something else


they have the best library for outsiders also so err what were you asking just now <tamil>என்னமோ கேட்டீங்க:ennamo ketteenga</tamil> uh so ah radio I went in sixty eight I worked there till when I was until sixty two years old see I went young they made me old


then one and a half years part time, so altogether if you count you will count to forty four to forty five years in radio broadcasting


ah ah, this one there or here


oh the transport ah variety


near Ambattur I've been to Ambattur, oh you know why I can't forget the Ambattur there's one #asoka chakra# somewhere you know


with when they come into Madras going to Ambattur it is there very popular, Ambattur is one place where they get wonderful water <tamil>தாராளத்தண்ணீர் நெறைய தண்ணி வரும் அங்க நான் வந்து ஒரு:thaaraalath thanneer neraya thanni varum anga naan vanthu oru</tamil> college <tamil>க்கு போய் இருந்தேன்:kku poi irunthaen</tamil> Baskara academy <tamil>னு ஒரு:nu oru</tamil> college <tamil>இருக்கு எனக்கு:irukku enakku</tamil> correspondent <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> mister Kumaran so I went there and I attended the classes they interviewed me for three hours


they now have a lady's college somewhere near there about five hundred ladies ask me questions I answered them, err err they asked question in english tamil and hindi I told them hindi I'm not an expert but I can understand if you talk I told them hindi was my father was teaching me my father is very was in india national army when he was a young man he came here then he joined the RAF then he went to Labuan which is now called Sabah


it has now become under malaysia so my father came to singapore and worked here we didn't go back to Labuan so connections is like that it's a wonderful world ah


no you can't say regret languages you can always learn any language that's true I won't allow that nobody will allow that the greatest mistake they made is


they should do things on the background, whereas tamil nowadays the greatest mistake they did is


ah spelling is different but now they going to err yes


they are one thing good in what you know, you ask them !wah! you speak good malay <tamil>னு சொல்லி பாருங்க அவன் கிட்ட கோவம் வந்துரும்:nu solli paarunga avankitta kovam vanthurum</tamil> we speak good bahasa indonesia you see that is one thing


and the great thing I always bow down my head to the indonesians for what you know they are hundred times better than DMK fellows better than Tamilnadu leaders I give you what, how come, we are all muslims you have the photo of Ganesh on your indonesian note he said we all by culture we are close to india only by religion but the fellows in india no they kill their own mother


I mean this is what people are saying yes, and that is the only place where they have you know the #bagavath geetha# err Krishna'S teaching Arjuna


from this side of the road to the other side they have in india you can't have that because they said that their culture religion must not become politics that's for the heart


india <tamil>வுல உள்ளவனும் போய் அதோட அருமைய சொல்லல அங்க உள்ளவனும் இதான் உங்களோடன்னு சொல்லல:vula ullavanum poi athoda arumaya sollala anga ullavanum ithaan ungalodannu sollala</tamil> so like this language in this south east asia tamils have done a lot one is mister R B Krishnan I am I've written about him I'm still writing about him


he wrote about the , about indians and early times the book is not available but the sources are because he is a father of building the singapore indian association mister R B Krishnan


ya they all stay in thomson road you know thomson road, their house is known as err Vaikundam, number fifty one Vaikundam thomson road, I've not been to that area to check whether the name still there his son is err eighty or eighty one years old I'm trying to get their contact again and again they are not answering me


why that, what other things you like in singapore


you have been here now how many years already


you see our time, two reasons one my father, and mother, another thing the teachers I had, are wonderful people, they say must read not textbook you can read in the class also never mind but at home must read in detail


one thing very bad is happening in singapore which other people might not have noticed I don't know whether you did that mistake or not your IC is what colour, ah have you written your name in tamil there there are some there are some indian people of tamil err lineage heritage


who say it is not important which is wrong see our government is so good to give tamil as in one of the provisions so if you don't write in tamil your own name since the chance is there the opportunity is there then very soon nobody will be employed to write the word in tamil so you all indians whether you speak well or not you must write your name in tamil


yes


have you read my books you see this err Maayaa one one of my short story books err singapore tamil <tamil>முன்னோடிகள்:munnodigal</tamil> another popular very hardworking right and then one more is <tamil>கையருகே பணம்:kaiyaruge panam</tamil> it's a translation book then err lots of other books on the way


and then you must read err singapore tamil youth club's two hundred years of err, tamil leaders, you must try to get from her the book wonderful book singapore and then


I don't know must ask them you know <tamil>சில சமயம் இருக்கும் சில நேரம் இருக்காது அதே மாதிரி:sila samayam irukum sila neram irukkaathu athe mathiri</tamil> singapore tamil <tamil>எழுத்தாளர் கழகம் னு இருக்கு:eluthaalar kalagamnu irukku</tamil> right ah <tamil>அவங்க வந்து:avanga vanthu</tamil> mister Aandiyapanaar


third place lah


, as you see #veerapaandi kattabomman# is a <tamil>தேசிய வீரன்:thesiya veeran</tamil> according to #ma po sivajaanam# and so many others


one fellow was born yesterday is now appearing in Tamilnadu YouTube saying #veerapaandi kattabomman# is a <tamil>திருடன்:thirudan</tamil> what I am very worried the fellows who interview are fools I don't know why you know the fellow who interviewed must give a different opinion but this one says


ah I know his father also, his father you see in the history something very different you know


which angle you are looking at you see we talk about Vallalaar we talk very high of him but there are some countries and some people who talk bad about him you can't help it because that is their opinion, you see <tamil>கப்பலோட்டிய தமிழன் வ உ சி:kappalottiya thamilan va u si</tamil> everyone wants to praise him I also praise him but I also scold him because err five Tamilnadu people did some mistakes very great people know one is this fellow doing the <tamil>பட்டிமன்றம்:pattimanram</tamil> #soloman pappaiah# one is err


political Karunaanithi then another fellow is #singaara velan# I don't know who he is another fellow is <tamil>வ உ சி:va u si</tamil> you know what they did, Thirukkural is now become popular these people changed your


when you are doing the stage say I think it should have been there you can your your err


given the opportunity do that but not this this #soloman pappaiah# also did a lot of mistakes, how long already okay okay so where are you working now how many years already


you like your job really so you must be enjoying your job okay err uh


last time we have seven four seven


so if like a aeroplane complains about err


mistakes and all who complains the most the pilot or the, you going on a technical check up


let's say for example an aeroplane gets something wrong with the engine or anything


after repairing is there a chance for you to follow the pilot just to see, who does this your technical people


you know you said you have different types of planes now which gives less problems technically


how many hours check do you make before err the flight starts, the technical checkup


the earliest and the latest some some planes will take a long hour ah


oh ah grinder <tamil>பண்ணி:panni</tamil> body out <tamil>பண்ணி போய்டும்:panni poidum</tamil> (hmm)

have you have you have you read through all these grants and everything, have you tried to get grants from the government


they are going to they are going to err delay the GST right so so for now it is very very good err for the people because err

err outdoor activities have you done any outdoor activities recently, , we have to do something together they say that err in the Changi trail you know the jurassic park the trail is very nice ya so probably we all together our friends right we go on a train like err have lunch or dinner in Changi jewel

okay hi so today I have my friend Huda then higher, okay so , the first order of business let's talk about


super senang apa lagi , okay so you are from #ngee ann# [kan], so like tell me a little bit more like about how's your


, ya, (mmhmm) (mmhmm)


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


oh ya I saw like I always see your Instagram like kau macam penat gila because you always like, remember that time when we went to school and you and we were literally at the the same MRT


I was so sad, I I waved so big uh, (uh huh), period


no aku literally waved at you, and I was low-key like ashamed, ya


embarrassed [kan] ya aku pun I felt so malu because of that, ya because you know the that thing actually happened to me literally down your block, that time aku remember that I told you the story, like that time I was down your block I saw this girl pakai tudung exactly same as you


and then no she was, err I aku aku not mad at you aku mad at the situation because aku was so embarrassed aku malu gila I was down the block, and then, I saw uh cause it was at night malam-malam so aku saw this lady


she was wearing her tudung and she was in the dark, it was you so I gave the biggest, wave paling besar di dalam dunia like literally like this, and then she just stared at me so I felt something was off


so I was like okay maybe I should just continue waving, and she just stared at me and she just did her stuff so I'm like okay that is not Huda, that if you lived at me then I would just like have stood there and not like, I don't know I thought you I don't know cause I look up to like ya


probably probably I don't know, ya so for me sekolah aku I think it's super senang to go to school because I don't have to take a bus


ya, ya, all the COVID stuff [kan], ya cause now my school kalau kau nak masuk kau nak kena ada dia punya card like the specific card


measures no uh no as in in terms of the zones like for your school kau ada zone like different different zones, my school is just as long as you enter with TraceTogether it's fine do you have TraceTogether must you download


ya, I think TraceTogether is quite convenient, like you get to, you don't even have to key in your information no more, so it's


ya, no,


period bro I don't know, RP, Izzah is which one, oh kita punya junior eh


oh dia makan Mala, to Dabao for us is it


, [kan], I think Mala is so good I kind of take it for granted, oh you did, oh you didn't


ya, ya count my blessings, ya, I don't know if it's mahal gila eh, no tapi I told Amira then I err apa Jaz


Jaz she ate it it was like seven dollar per person cause dia tak makan the daging semua the daging is a mistake, who eats the daging you just go for the


during common , , of course it's gonna be mahal it's like duck meat err


remember duck meat punya Ramen that we ate at the apa, I was asking my bapa cause he was like asking like suggestions to eat and I was like oh can I suggest then I was like oh can we eat at the Ramen and then he was like err I'll think about it then we never eat


because I was literally like craving it, tak, cause err, he was taking suggestions and then I was like assuming like oh it's an activity we gotta go then the next day I was like waiting for him to like invite us out and then he didn't say anything


(mmhmm), Ramen is like a top, like, it was good, ya why you don't like it


what you order ah


why didn't you put the spice


uh sebab you're like a baby you can't like handle the full Samyang experience that sounds like a, a new problem I see was it good, wait hold on pause Samyang light is just like, just add less of the sauce ah


the flavour profile, do do you get when I'm length, (mmhmm)


then how was it,


got it, but the thing are like Samyang the noodles are like thick,


so you can say as in like you don't hate the flavour, !wow!, , I don't I don't get why you don't like the carbonara one carbonara one is literally like the best punya flavour


carbonara, !huh! !huh!, man aku baru makan Samyang on is it yesterday or two days ago


you know since we're talking about Samyang now I want to eat Samyang , we only have carbonara in this house I had my dad, oh the packet, huge difference


which do you like, what's wrong with the cup one cup one is everywhere, (uh huh), is it because you never leave it inside for a longer time because I like my Samyang to be like puffy what's the word macam like


ya I've never heard I've never heard that work before, are you like making it up, , oh I don't know why but semalam aku macam on a, university punya rush so I was like looking at all the


ya because I aku fikir uh I really don't have a choice but to like look through siapa Lia punya boyfriend sekarang dekat SUSS [kan], what was his his course ah or should I ask like Lia to ask him about dia punya experience


what like which one


ya kau tak kau tak research ke, passionate, really, then what


uni is, thirty eight, , what what's your GPA


oh okay, , , ,


you actually like oh so kau macam like committed ah in that sense okay, why


uh aku scared yang dorang tengah trying to convince you to spend more money by the way they say it, , they they were giving that


tone like [jer] you know it's like a little bit like don't fall for that don't fall for that, (mmhmm),


oh, she ya you should just since kau ada connection might as well just take advantage of it ah


few here, ya floating, (mmhmm)


but like ya that sounds like a plan ah, Elisa uh


oh tu tahu okay Elisa dia selalu kata but to her ma yang oh, ma one day I might want to go to like overseas or like migrate and then she's then cause she's like the youngest one and then all her kakak is like big


age gap, , so like, ya, so it's a bit like she said she was a bit like worried, not worried like I think it was a bit like, scared cause she knew that she could like never leave like the nest


cause mak dia is quite to tua lah ya, I mean ya lah, ya


ya ya, she's like super smart so she could like probably like get a scholarship and sweep it off her feet because, that's why she works like so uh hard lah because she knows that her position is like not


I think she has a four point O I think ah, no but if you have the four point oh it'll be known door because usually that, why ah, uh I don't think my


uh, she gets like uh awards lah she's always like the top two because err my friend daphne she has a four point O which I didn't know until, ya, why you so, ya ya ya, because I didn't know until like she posted on Twitter she was like oh guys I need to maintain my four point O GPA like on for my intern


and she said it okay okay she did lah it wasn't kinda like show off show Offy punya manner, so aku then I was like aku macam shocked because I didn't know this also like it makes sense lah because she's also like super smart, my course is so filled with so many smart people aku macam so intimidated


ya, grades, no no no no no, it's uh sometimes no no we're not competitive that's not like the that's just not our culture lah our punya course punya culture like no one is like


no one's like uh out there to get one another we're because we're such like a


avoid, , arts and business management route lah but I don't know what she's gonna do, but she has her whole life figured out tau cause like


she was telling me like, all these and then she was telling about how how her whole friend group, ya lah like


after poly dorang gi university then after that apa kerja sikit then, like, get married like it was more like detailed than what what I'm trying to say, ya, so like whenever I'm with her aku macam like intimidated sikit ah sebab aku selalu [kan] aku ada going with the flow punya attitude


[kan] you're proud of me right, (ugh)


uh I think her overseas dream is untuk like, after education ah like she wants like migrate


, (mmhmm), !fuh! oh, get like uh,


help them,


singaporean,


, , okay, okay, ya it's a lot


, a'ah, okay okay (mmhmm), it is quite low but that's the culture lah I guess so what happened to the guy


the seven thousands dollars a year, he just keep it, oh it's like a, okay, so that gave you hope to like be able to like


!huh!, , but the paying off is quite long [pe], ya, and


so don't borrow that much money lah you want take a loan, you try to like pay, , , it's better to like have a loan with your parents than a loan with like a bank because banks are always like the interest semua the


, ya I think the realisation that kita macam like growing up just like hits, are you gonna miss poly


[orh], what would you like restart your poly experience if you could


what would you do different, what does that mean O two, oh sebab ada Dina


then what course are you gonna go for for uni, ya, ya then do you need any like


, (oo) doing A math again sounds like my number one nightmare


, because like, when I went for my intern I really like felt macam like left uh not left out lah I just felt


industry, kalau all fails I I can be like a teacher kau pun nak jadi teacher


(ugh), , I mean like aku aku knew that I had like interest in like


I don't know like, doing business just like sucks the life out of you like it's so like macam boring and like, I really like at the end of the day aku macam like


don't want to be an entrepreneur that's not the life for me ah, (mmhmm), , ya, Haziq dia pergi apa GEIP kau tahu yang internship yang international


the overseas punya internship it was supposed to be overseas, indonesia, it it was some like, ya tapi sebab dia [kan] like


I know kau kind of like sceptical pasal dia punya like wealth, he is like a millionaire and then I'm like oh this makes sense so maybe if I explain it to you, in this like manner maybe kau macam like believe


him is it okay (hmm), , he would like his family would like invest in like oil punya stocks, and then like the


ya it's like worth like, okay, why, the me me on my arm


so like !wow! oil, I think so,


whatever lah, if, uh so he went for like, on last friday tu aku I had to do like a sharing, about my civic internship and then I thought I was gonna be like the only


sharer there who's like an ABM punya student tapi Haziq was there also and I'm like (ugh), ya, ah nanti aku show kau I was like talking about [pe] , civic internship has really impacted me in a positive manner


I think he was already like out


I think this was before, uh because, so they ah pergi lah but then


he did it online ah, he did his whole internship online, I think so ya, because your one is apa macam tourist punya management so you you had to like have people there


this one was like business so everything could have been done online lah so it semua makes sense ah I'm, arts business management there's like business indent to it I have to, be tapi aku didn't like expect there's like oh, man this was not what I signed up for


period, what were you like dying to talk about, addison rae, a'ah addison rae, why


she does so much legwork, , kourtney kardashian accomplished already


drive, and passion, I mean, I think that's like her brand lah that's macam apa jojo siwa, that's her brand


why you rolling your eyes at jojo siwa jojo siwa like is, jojo siwa, ah


as a person, you find her boring, then kau jangan kau jangan tengok video dia lah it's like she's not forcing you to watch her video, like I saw dia buat yang makeup punya video yang dia buat like clown


ya, ya, ya, she's not that famous though


okay


what was she talking about, oh dia tu takde like takde dia punya it, it factor there, oh, !whoa! kau kau memang critical of her eh


, I mean like, , I mean I think she's just like a nice girl, I mean like


does followers really matter, okay who do you think deserve like hundred million followers


okay, okay, then why are you so invested, okay


I think you're too harsh on these kids they're so young tau, exactly


uh I will pick charli lah, like she's just nice like I have no like I have nothing against or like nothing I love about her


, okay so uh, you think james charles is so interesting, like dia he can talk lah, uh I think charli D'Amelio [kan] she got into fame like


when she duet to a I think, she couldn't like develop her character like, fast like strong enough, so but james sekarang [kan] dia ada banyak like years of experience sebab dia [kan] he was like he was the cover girl


so he had he had a lot of like training and experience lah you know it just doesn't it doesn't come in all in one day, you know so kau you need to like be like


, before quarantine [pe], that's what,


coffee punya tu manis !oi! and I was like seeing like four pumps of like mocha you know you saw that one, caramel, a'ah, ,


it's like I think uh cause I think aku ada break from coffee sebab I was like, going out and drinking coffee, then after that uh I think a couple of weeks ago when I texted you was the first macam like


time minum coffee then aku my anxiety was like I had like I was so anxious, and then, ya ya and then I knew it wasn't because like I was anxious before cause I had nothing to be like anxious about, and then suddenly aku macam like so like scared


ya it was so scary and then, that day aku minum coffee day lah because I thought it was just like a one off thing you know, ya ya ya then it happened again like I was so anxious then I was like overthinking


about things and it was so scary then I think, which is sedih cause I love the taste of coffee you know how much I love like the taste of coffee, but I think I really need to do what's best for my body lah , ya


you drink cold brew, cold brew is the most, were we together, Starbucks


okay, ,


ya, after that it like for thirty minutes later ya I'll I'll usually like ordinance was so bad, right now you know that you cannot, drink coffee anymore ah


, , you you, drank coffee on an empty stomach, that was the worst


!whoa!, arbitrage whom return are passed out through I had to like stop didn't like sit and drink water, okay lah, ya


the day you actually pass out then you're like oh Huda aku pass out I'll be like, that's what I'm gonna say, ya, what happened to you


so coffee is a big no no lah I mean, I guess now sebab aku tak boleh minum coffee then it should be easier for both of us ah so whenever Starbucks ada one for one I will never ask you , well


(oo) is bubble tea, !whoa!, okay


Sharetea, Sharetea is, you told me to Sharetea winter melon milk tea I feel is one of the like


because uh aku try the LiHO punya pun, it just doesn't hit as much as Sharetea punya (oo), ya it's like legit, like uh this like a ,


it's like a dessert, oh you know the matcha doughnut I bought that day, the matcha doughnut yang aku beli that day, , (mmhmm), it was so sedap sebab aku popped it in the microwave for like ten seconds it, that is the that makes it


there that said it, it just, felt it it don't taste as good as I imagined, uh Mochi okay aku Google eh sebab uh kau tahu newt dari TikTok


he was he was talking about like Mochi doughnut and he was saying like, (oo) sedap !oi!, and I was like aku expected it to be sedap ah, it was on last, no it was the same day I bought two doughnuts, aku I was feeling it cause these days I really love like sweets yesterday aku beli apa crepe


uh kat IMM it was one of those like, halal punya baker


IMM, it's a tip off , (mmhmm)

no like no the one yang at Ichikokudo, oh you like you like yours ah, no I didn't, uh garlic Ramen I felt like


the fact that it's garlic dia dah cut, the richness of the flavor tau, but it was super like lemak for some reason and cause I didn't take spice I didn't put the spice also why didn't you going as far as I didn't like wanted to be, I didn't like want it to be spicy, ya, ya stomach aku ada problem bro aku tak boleh makan spicy food period


ya, tapi I that time I eh you know oh my god I forgot to tell you about this, I bought Samyang light, ya


ya, uh, no because when you add less of the sauce dia punya flavor, it's lesser, it's, ya you can barely taste it


do you do you get where I'm like coming from, the ya the the the gravy, to me untuk aku because Samyang [kan] uh the normal noodles dia punya calories about five hundred


but this one the calories is lesser so I feel like I'm, it's literally about three hundred seventy calories, and the but the noodles are slightly thinner but it's the same texture the sauce is like less spicy


no but it doesn't affect much ah to me, but the taste to me the sweetness is a bit a bit stronger, oh uh, your ability to taste is there but it's still very spicy to me I was literally still dying


ya, Samyang
