oh, so it's like similar to my year one lor my my year one is a common business mah so is just a mix of everything


of business, then when I went into year two then I choose my specialisation, to be honest right I I didn't I didn't really go and think that I will get into banking and finance because you know like err my worst subject was actually econs which, leads to banking and finance


my econs was a C, ya I think it was a C plus I I put it in as my first choice then I got it I I don't know how also ya I did I did


I I should have, because when I ask my account friends right they like for them their accounting like lesser lesser exams than me which is very shocking already less exam than me then they have like lesser classes than me also


!wow! then I'm like, I actually thought about like whether accounting or banking and finance I'm just comparing between these two like I just I put it as my first and second choice so like just thinking like which one they put me in then I'm fine either lor I guess but I didn't


because you know since my econs got a C right so I didn't really expect that I'm really go in like banking and finance, err not really for fun lah just, I just getting the a bit like I just let the fate choose one cause like my accounting I did better on accounting lah so I'm like


just thought that maybe I will get into accounting, so like in the end I, I didn't get in so I I just got banking and finance which is my first choice ah so I guess, is a is is, good and bad at the same time


because, the accounting people seems more free than me but then at the same time right I heard from my another my friend they say that accounting very very competitive like super duper competitive, she's in ya she she transfer course right so she went into marketing ya oh I never put marketing as my choice


I hated that course I I I did that , module before like we we have a trial of everything lah just a little bit of some of the module itself, then marketing is not my type lah like, although like it's just like


creating maybe a product then afterwards you market, you just like sell it lor I guess, market it but, nah is not my thing, oh ya I get you I get you I I think


think my third choice is, I think I put HR, human resource because I did one of the exercise so I though and the job is very nice so I thought maybe I just put it lor, it's like just managing like the people in a company like for example you are manage the higher and the like the retrenchment those kind of stuff also plus like


if they the people have like any concerns right the first thing they will they will come to HR the, people ah then they will ask them for like err suggestions or like opinions, then for example if even like in the company like the employees have any like queries doubts they also come and find the HR lor


so they just manage the people in there then like just tell them err like, maybe err just you know empathise with them lor those kind of stuff, ya ya it's kind of like that is not that bad actually now I think about it is is cause I heard from my another friend also she's


she seems quite chill too, okay I'm half half about it, like because err I haven't like really go and like you know try out other courses mah so, err I can't really like make a clear decision and whether that one is better or the one that I'm having now is better


if not later if I really transfer course right then in the end that one is that one is like worse or is not better then what's the point right so I just continue studying, nah


I I don't think I would prefer NUS because my sister she has err friends in NUS lah so the people over there are very open, they are very like err, kind of like the very, you know those hyper kids like


also have lah but mostly like, mostly I I heard like in NUS they very competitive then like very err, how do I say it, it's like it's like very competitive and like


they are not very friendly in that's like they just be friends with you will like if your grades are good those kind of thing they have those kind of, stuff one ya there will be ya they are they are those NUS did you realise like those NUS people right they just like


those they are those like that don't study also very smart [one] those kind ya like my sis also say like her N_T_U there's there's people in her


so did you watch this err, monday's episode, ya, I mean you mean oh the top six


a a ya I think he's okay though , ya I mean he's like last place the votes is like damn unfair though I think


his votes, his votes is super low, but I don't think it's like that catchy where I will listen it to it everyday that's but


I feel very bad for kum D also I feel like he's quite old and then he shouldn't like get eliminated poor thing


ya, ya but I think he quite like a bit arrogant ish, poor thing but I think he got skills also it's just poor thing


oh you did you heard about like the J D incident, like on <mandarin>微博:wei bo</mandarin> I think err there was this rumour where he cheated on his wife with Kee


so the wife exposed him online, ya, no but he didn't do anything wrong though is the wife that mistaken then thought that the wife his wife


I mean they did went into a room together in the middle of the night but they were doing music so it wasn't like anything weird, ya, ya but the wife thought he cheated on her and she uploaded on <mandarin>微博:wei bo</mandarin> then everybody was like targeting Kee I think she upload like err she follow them and then she film them go into the hotel room no so like for I think a week or two the whole internet was like on <mandarin>微博:wei bo</mandarin> saying scolding Kee for like trying to find some guy with her with her wife or something


so the wife posted <mandarin>微博:wei bo</mandarin> say like she mistook the whole incident and tell people to stop scolding Kee


poor thing then cause <mandarin>在微博:zai wei bo</mandarin> right <mandarin>他就:ta jiu</mandarin> write one whole long paragraph saying that he didn't do anything wrong then the wife said the wife after she upload the video she said that she was like, angry at that point of time that's why she wasn't thinking clearly then she upload the video so it was like a mistake


that's why I think it cause it made J D and Kee relationship a bit awkward now they are like no longer friends that close, ya


so ya now their relationships is a bit weird I think after <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> incident right the following week the episode <mandarin>他们有:ta men you</mandarin> show <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> wife in the episode I don't know if you realise <mandarin>他们有:ta men you</mandarin> film <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> wife


I think <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> okay in the episode <mandarin>他赢了:ta ying le</mandarin> I think first prize then <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> run to <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> wife then <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> hug <mandarin>她:ta</mandarin> or something ya but I think


I don't know I think the <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> Kee bad err get like <mandarin>骂骂得很惨:ma ma de hen can</mandarin> online, ya


ya poor thing, poor thing


ya <mandarin>我也是看:wo ye shi kan</mandarin> youtube oh <mandarin>我没有看:wo mei you kan</mandarin> everyday <mandarin>他等太久了:ta deng tai jiu le</mandarin> then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> just <mandarin>没有看这样多:mei you kan zhe yang duo</mandarin> I mean <mandarin>我昨天有看一点点:wo zuo tian you kan yi dian dian</mandarin> but <mandarin>我没有看到这样这样远:wo mei you kan dao zhe yang zhe yang yuan</mandarin> yet


but I think <mandarin>他会跟那个:ta hui gen na ge</mandarin> err <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> bangs <mandarin>的那个女的那个:de na ge nv de na ge</mandarin> actor or actress <mandarin>那个拍广告的应该在一起:na ge pai guang gao de ying gai zai yi qi</mandarin> lor I mean I feel like <mandarin>我我不喜欢那个:wo wo bu xi huan na ge</mandarin> #ming yue#, #ming yue#, but #zi qiu# <mandarin>的朋友喜欢:de peng you xi huan</mandarin> #ming yue# I think


ya <mandarin>那戴眼镜的肥肥的:na dai yan jing de fei fei de</mandarin> , oh I mean <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> #yuan yuan# <mandarin>喜欢他:xi huan ta</mandarin> but <mandarin>他不喜欢:ta bu xi huan</mandarin> #yuan yuan# what I think


but I feel bad for <mandarin>那个女的:na ge nv de</mandarin> so I think <mandarin>她要跟:ta yao gen</mandarin> #zi qiu# <mandarin>在一起比较好:zai yi qi bi jiao hao</mandarin> ya, but I think, they are the most lovable character in the show


I mean <mandarin>一开始:yi kai shi</mandarin> I understand but after that I don't understand <mandarin>因为我:yin wei wo</mandarin> I don't get <mandarin>为什么那个:wei shen me na ge</mandarin> #ling xiao# <mandarin>他会要回去他的那边:ta hui yao hui qu ta de na bian</mandarin> mom <mandarin>那边:na bian</mandarin> ya


doesn't concern <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> what what the hell, that means <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> leave the family for <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> mom but #zi qiu# leave for the family I mean leave because <mandarin>他要为那个家着想看这么好:ta yao wei na ge jia zhuo xiang kan zhe me hao</mandarin>


ya I become blind man


but I feel like #ling xiao# is a mummy's boy


oh <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> I think <mandarin>他是:ta shi</mandarin> twenty one or twenty two <mandarin>而已:er yi</mandarin> like in real life, ya <mandarin>他们讲:ta men jiang</mandarin> so like the moment <mandarin>他出道:ta chu dao</mandarin> right <mandarin>他已经跟很多女明星在一起了:ta yi jing gen hen duo nv ming xing zai yi qi le</mandarin> so is like every year or like


ya, so <mandarin>他是:ta shi</mandarin> player but online right when <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> err publicise that <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> date with a lot of girls but <mandarin>人家都:ren jia dou</mandarin> support <mandarin>他因为他讲说:ta yin wei ta jiang shuo</mandarin> if <mandarin>我有那个脸我也是会:wo you na ge lian wo ye shi hui</mandarin> date a lot of girls


oh <mandarin>你懂:ni dong</mandarin> err


ya even though you've already you know like what will happen , but is also, so <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> little mio right <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> I think <mandarin>他看:ta kan</mandarin> then throughout his whole live he was like scolding the character


, he was saying like , ya


ya, last last week, last last week ya


so <mandarin>我第一个:wo di yi ge</mandarin> paper <mandarin>在是在:zai shi zai</mandarin> july then after that <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> last paper <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> last week, the last last week


I would blame it on COVID nineteen


as in <mandarin>会去:hui qu</mandarin> campus lah <mandarin>我不要回去:wo bu yao hui qu</mandarin> that's why <mandarin>我不要:wo bu yao</mandarin> COVID end,


(uh huh) next tuesday, I think <mandarin>每个人除了:mei ge ren chu le</mandarin> allison, ya


!wah! I dont know <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> logic <mandarin>是在哪里:shi zai na li</mandarin> but I mean <mandarin>她的:ta de</mandarin> logic


oh ya so , so we were planning, about the staycation, so we were planning that it will be happening during halloween, ya october lah ya


, so , I mean !huh! one week no as in like we meet a few days one week you don't have that much money to get the place for one week so if we get a few days only or like one or two days then we stay there and then we rot


I mean not rot but, just, ya lah I was we were thinking about like air b n b or, but must be cheap lah like no we just <mandarin>想而已:xiang er yi</mandarin> ya


(hmm), ya, I'm not sure maybe september <mandarin>我们只是讲说要:wo men zhi shi jiang shuo yao</mandarin> staycation <mandarin>我们还没有:wo men hai mei you</mandarin> confirm <mandarin>要几时几时:yao ji shi ji shi</mandarin> ah


, actually <mandarin>我们找:wo men zhao</mandarin> midnight <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> jobs okay


I wanted I wanted H C M though this year though then <mandarin>我们回去做:wo men hui qu zuo</mandarin> I think <mandarin>那个很:na ge hen</mandarin> simple <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> just the only thing you need to do is just <mandarin>去:qu</mandarin> for ten


october mid october, ya, I mean <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> normally, err if <mandarin>我们没有:wo men mei you</mandarin> I mean <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> COVID <mandarin>的话:de hua</mandarin> normally <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> period <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> exam period though for <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> ah


like <mandarin>因为我们:yin wei wo men</mandarin> COVID what that's why <mandarin>我们都没有:wo men dou mei you</mandarin> exam


ya <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> wear <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> shoes all those stuff


so do you prefer warehouse <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> K cook


high right


K cook <mandarin>多少的:duo shao de</mandarin> I think K cook also around


oh, such a long time shift just go back orchard , ya, is there still C P F contribution


she still give you as in like


I see, okay so let's talk about uni, yes, okay so what do you want to like what course do you want to or like any aim


why not NUS, , I will depends based on my GPA


I mean I wanted to go for like communication study in NTU but the GPA like very high I think you need to get three point six eight oh which I think is impossible cause they mostly prioritise JC students so like


but I feel like it's impossible cause my first semester result is okay but my second result second semester dropped a lot so right now it's very hard to like sustain like a three point five and above, okay later is low three ya


but definitely <mandarin>一个有:yi ge you</mandarin> three point five right I mean max


oh shit then <mandarin>肯定会:ken ding hui</mandarin> drop, to slightly


!wah! <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> calculate <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> GPA I did the most math I have ever done in my whole I don't know , these two years okay so I calculate GPA if <mandarin>我要:wo yao</mandarin> get <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> three point five and above I must get three point eight


for the whole rest of my semester which is impossible, tragic, but I think even if it's a one or two like zero point two or zero point three increase right it wouldn't affect that much if you add up everything it's still ya


ya, what if you cannot get into uni, what if


what you want to redo and then get like the GPA


so you are not considering overseas, you know I see the price of overseas so singapore if your I mean school fees singapore uni school fees around nine nine K or ten K per year per semester and then if you go overseas is like thirty K forty K per semester ya is like


thrice the price


she went for like internship at, the smart local right


oh is after her JC so is like she voluntarily go and sign up for it one


did she like show anything for like portfolio wise


as in like before she got into the smart local like did she, cause she only has like JC stuff right so did she, get in the interview


so they like subsidise the whole trip is it


but the pay isn't that intern pay is


!wah! that means is around like five hundred six hundred I mean okay lah it's for like portfolio so is not


well I mean according to my GPA communications study is far ahead it's barely possible


but the thing is my portfolio is basically design mostly design base and like it's not classified under


much if you want to go for like, a journalism or like communication studies lah, now my portfolio like that time when I went for like the internship my portfolio is basically design based lah so


I only can it only helps me if I going for like a design job or like something like that, no as in a a collage


a consolidation of like all the works I did previously lah, ya cause I'm helping the school to do some design stuff also ya so portfolio is basically like


those creative works that I've done lah, it's a bit too late


I feel like secondary school stuff it's a bit


not relevant now ya I should have just slack , oh I wasted my time however secondary school was a scam


but I mean <mandarin>不要讲:bu yao jiang</mandarin> results wise lah <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> err other external activities lah like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> CCA <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> everyday CCA CCA CCA


so I see like so I look at the NTU the GPA right the ten percentile or the ninety percentile like how much do you have to get in I see those that is quite low is engineering courses , what does engineer do though what


I know right err thinking is like my previous experience is all like discarded like all wasted start from zero


ya, but a degree though I mean your degree affects your pay in the future so


I mean you can earn quite a lot I mean like a decent amount lah if you


banker , wait can I tell you about me and my niece idea so


she was telling go start a youtube channel, ya and then she say you'll be the person in charge of the money the manager


she is, err in the process of ideation like she's trying to dig thoughts and go and scout for ideas yes , she err a few days ago she really like go and search up for content but she aim a bit too high ah she want to like fly up the sky and then film those


the scene where she's up in the sky with the go pro but we don't have that equipment exactly, ya and that's her idea


then don't I guess , eh no like she want to do those like extreme challenges like interesting, I mean the thing is we have to target the audience that


in singapore though if you want to get the need the money, ya ya but she's in the process of ideation so you wait for her


I mean people like stupid and like, joke like stuff so will be perfect ya I will do those err effects like those err comedy err you know the subtitle ya she will be the main entertainer yes yes you can count the money okay what are the chances it will succeed


stop it can you give her some motivation yes tell her you can do it yes,


no I think she's also distracted , are you trying to curse her right now I see


I agree also no but it's okay to dream,


that's why what what's uh, interesting question !hey! stop it


oh I think youtube you do like <mandarin>一个十年:yi ge shi nian</mandarin> and I think confirm <mandarin>会有成绩:hui you cheng ji</mandarin> at least <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> ten K subscribers


so at the start <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> must get one K subscribers before <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> monetise <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> your video, ya, advertisements <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> like in between <mandarin>的那些是你可以:de na xie shi ni ke yi</mandarin> start once <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> hit a certain amount of <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> subscribers then <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> start to put ads inside your video then for like I think ten minutes and above <mandarin>的你可以放:de ni ke yi fang</mandarin> multiple ads or something


sponsorship the money <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> obviously <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> company <mandarin>找你要:zhao ni yao</mandarin> fit <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> audience then <mandarin>他们才找你:ta men cai zhao ni</mandarin> ah ya


ya, I mean for <mandarin>我不懂现在:wo bu dong xian zai</mandarin> but last time is like <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> hit <mandarin>不懂:bu dong</mandarin> hundred <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> thousand <mandarin>才会放多少:cai hui fang duo shao</mandarin> ah then after that <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> continue ya


ya oh <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> idea <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> during <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> staycation <mandarin>我们可以:wo men ke yi</mandarin> film <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> vlog, oh <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> picnic but I think picnic a bit too early <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> but never mind it's okay <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> must, can add <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> humour content inside maybe <mandarin>她在做奇怪的东西有一大堆奇怪的人去:ta zai zuo qi guai de dong xi you yi da dui qi guai de ren qu</mandarin> picnic <mandarin>对不对:dui bu dui</mandarin> ya then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> title <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> picnic gone wrong ya


it's okay <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> split the money , , !huh! oh at least <mandarin>我们可以:wo men ke yi</mandarin> earn holiday money right


eh you never know <mandarin>人家有些一开:ren jia you xie yi kai</mandarin> right <mandarin>她:ta</mandarin> immediately <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> one million views


ya then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> , no <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> must


!wah! good idea <mandarin>我也是觉得:wo ye shi jue de</mandarin> not bad


<mandarin>要很:yao hen</mandarin> deep thoughts


wait <mandarin>等一下她她要:deng yi xia ta ta yao</mandarin> vomit blood <mandarin>了我们:le wo men</mandarin> oh my god, every thing is a content, what is that err


boring days spent at home listening to listening to two idiots talking , I think <mandarin>人家是看他坐那边:ren jia shi kan ta zuo na bian</mandarin> stare at the wall


must have some faith in <mandarin>她:ta</mandarin> if <mandarin>那个钱来你就是你要:na ge qian lai ni jiu shi ni yao</mandarin> count <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> money you know you must have some faith


then normally singaporeans I think <mandarin>他们喜欢:ta men xi huan</mandarin> joke content like, a bit err not in the right mind <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> content <mandarin>太:tai</mandarin> serious <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> I think <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> don't dig <mandarin>因为他们的:yin wei ta men de</mandarin> life <mandarin>已经很:yi jing hen</mandarin> stressful ya


dee Kosh eh <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> what wendy


Kosh, , dee Kosh two point O, oh ya I also think so


not bad , what did you talk about me, oh <mandarin>等一下我们要:deng yi xia wo men yao</mandarin> get sued <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> , oh no wait before that I must ask you a very serious question


<mandarin>我忘记我要讲什么:wo wang ji wo yao jiang shen me</mandarin> , ah <mandarin>不用紧我们:bu yong jin wo men</mandarin> continue to think of content <mandarin>给她:gei ta</mandarin> , err <mandarin>我们可以去:wo men ke yi qu</mandarin> china <mandarin>吗:ma</mandarin>


eh shit <mandarin>你懂那个:ni dong na ge</mandarin> live concert <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> for <mandarin>说唱他们:shuo chang ta men</mandarin> right damn cheap eh is like hundred <mandarin>人民币:ren min bi</mandarin> that means twenty plus sing dollars here, super cheap


as in <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin>


<mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> sound effect, ya eh then <mandarin>我跟你讲你在那边:wo gen ni jiang ni zai na bian</mandarin> then <mandarin>那个因为他们:na ge yin wei ta men</mandarin> on the spot <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> sound effect <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> so <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> just


cannot is empty, actually <mandarin>我看他们的那些:wo kan ta men de na xie</mandarin> scenes right when <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> film <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> audience all the audience is quite good looking one


the #zha bor# actually <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> I think <mandarin>他们是选:ta men shi xuan</mandarin> based on look is it, damn irritating !walao! then that looks like shit I think <mandarin>我需要:wo xu yao</mandarin> plastic surgery


ya then film,


is tragic, useful, public relations


!huh! I mean <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> mass comm <mandarin>你就有两个:ni jiu you liang ge</mandarin> track <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> journalism <mandarin>或:huo</mandarin> PR, the reason <mandarin>为什么我觉得:wei shen me wo jue de</mandarin> communication studies in NTU <mandarin>因为他们有:yin wei ta men you</mandarin> advertising then <mandarin>我是要:wo shi yao</mandarin> advertising but <mandarin>我不要:wo bu yao</mandarin> journalism <mandarin>或:huo</mandarin> PR


, PR <mandarin>好:hao</mandarin> but the thing is <mandarin>我们在:wo men zai</mandarin> PR right, widely all those I mean <mandarin>不是奇奇怪怪:bu shi qi qi guai guai</mandarin> lah but <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> like <mandarin>太:tai</mandarin> hyper then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I cannot <mandarin>对那种:dui na zhong</mandarin> like


but I don't like to write like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> okay with videography and photography I mean journalism <mandarin>是有那些:shi you na xie</mandarin> lah but I cannot write I mean <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> write but I feel like, ya Sian sia ya


is err that one is just for if I get into uni but if I don't get into uni that means I'm stuck with like, ya so ya that's why I'm like shit cause I only have till thirty first to make the choice then I still haven't decide then I'm like


ya err ya, I have to select ah I submit online whether I want journalism or PR but I mean you if you say eh no if I get I choose journalism it doesn't mean I'll get journalism is still depends on like your GPA and like the overall


cause they cannot have too many people choosing a certain track also ya, ,


I mean most of the people that I know


want to go to journalism lah but, I don't know I feel like it will be very competitive though I mean I don't know because my dad told me like recently SPH retrenchment , ya cause COVID I mean journalism is under like err the smart local


the smart local is under journalism so, ya, cause in journalism I have to start internship first so that means year three sem one then I will start internship already


the studies will come the second semester, intern ya, PR will be you study then after that internship, ya


but one thing is that, for journalism we have a module on photo and then for PR we have a module on design


shit I cannot decide though cause, for photo I don't have that much stuff from cause most of the stuff are in school like in secondary school, so I didn't get err to keep all of the things but for like design I have more of like the


ya the works lah so matters right


but now like even if you get going to uni is a bit like hard already unless I get like all three point eight for the rest of the semester, ya


shit that is like fucking hard so, very hard so ya


it's like all repeated stuff because banking and finance there's only that much you can, learn about right the modules they are quite repeated is it, not really


are those like under PR also cause we have like crisis management so ya


cause the only difference is year three cause year two currently we are not separated in journalism and PR so for that one semester in err year three, the difference is not very huge though, is just one is err so far PR we have one crisis risk err risk management and then for


err journalism is writing writing module and then one is err management module, and then the rest is that one photo one design then the other one is I think a real life experience or something, ya, (mmhmm) but I feel like PR


there's more freedom I guess ya, but then too much freedom I cannot like focus also ya, I think journalism but , PR seems tempting so


, ya , internship lah then after that so


year two sem two is err mixed one that means there's a mixed in the module right there is a mix of PR module and journal module so like currently for year one till now all my modules are like mixed


, wait so did you choose it or they just put you in oh ya so you basically dig a hole for yourself lah


so you wanted what, you wanted


so you just put for fun


same I thought mass comm didn't want me also,


wait accounting is that the course you are in is, in now right what is it marketing is it marketing right ya marketing eh so you don't have marketing as a choice


I think I have a module I mean I have two modules for marketing also so they are under PR


ya I mean I actually I don't know I enjoy the module itself because of the fact but I don't enjoy the module is err as in I like the module cause of the fact not the subject ya


eh human resource is about


, so it's like internal organisation stuff lah


so now you are regretting your


but I mean if you want to go like business I think NUS will be better right


international type one like those, those #ang moh# #ang moh#


, so most likely there will be like backstabbing ah I see


ya (ppl)


okay, let's begin, okay let's go through the prompt lah, okay the first prompt, in the list is


if you had three wishes what would you wish for, ah


world peace very pageant-is lor ,


ya, okay


ya


ya, I think that is something we have to work towards lor, cause it's, of course, in this world I don't think there will, be


like, but, ya we we just got to work towards it lah, in a more personal level it starts from personal level and then up into <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> organisation


something like that then what is your second wish, my first wish ah, err <mandarin>没有想过要什么:mei you xiang guo yao shen me</mandarin> first wish <mandarin>没有想过:mei you xiang guo</mandarin> like


three wishes lah but if there were three wishes that can be granted by a genie, that kind you know like if you can get like superpower, I would love okay how about I I say what superpower


I would like to have, I think the superpower that I would like to have is to, , teleport


you know I can wake up in the morning then okay <mandarin>我想吃:wo xiang chi</mandarin> err breakfast in sydney then <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> zoom <mandarin>去:qu</mandarin> sydney <mandarin>吃:chi</mandarin> breakfast


then after that, walk abit <mandarin>走走:zou zou</mandarin> then after that <mandarin>回来新加坡:hui lai xin jia po</mandarin> then lunch time okay now I feel like having duck confit, then I just teleport to paris and I can have my lunch there, you know that is quite fun lah I feel


teleport airport ah into that location ya ya specific location lah


I don't think anyone else in the world would know and I don't want people to know as well


suddenly teleport to a particular, eh public toilet then nobody will suspect anything right then just <mandarin>走出来:zou chu lai</mandarin> lor,


hopefully ya let's just continue ah then what will be your, your wish what superpower would you wish you have


ya then you cannot think of okay I give you a few choices


number one <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> err, K number two maybe time travel, number three maybe you can, uh you have telekinesis you can move things with your mind


or number four maybe you can read people's mind,


telekinesis


(mmhmm)


like when you are in bed then <mandarin>你要开电视机:ni yao kai dian shi ji</mandarin> okay then there's remote control okay , instead of moving other things


you can also move yourself right, that means <mandarin>你可以飞:ni ke yi fei</mandarin> lor, ,


then charge <mandarin>人家钱:ren jia qian</mandarin> hor


ya


ya, ya you can be gone for just one meal then, zoom back to your house and


, , , ya ya ya ya ya lor don't have to pay just teleport in look see right


there's this movie <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> have you seen it's called, err shit I forgot the name of the movie but he can teleport, like like what we say he has got err


that superpower right, one of the things he did was he teleported to the top of the pyramid, teens feels like it ya


ya ya ya I think so then he can teleport into bank vaults then he will steal money, that so, but I wouldn't I mean


I wouldn't do that lah, since we are on recording we can't say that right, , ya, ya, , okay let's take a look at the next prompt okay the next one of the next prompt one of the prompts says


err if you have a nuclear power which is dead already, if you found a time capsule from yourself, ten years ago what would be inside


, (mmhmm)


, , so it's something like a


sort of like a checklist, in a way,


ya, for me I I honestly have never thought about this before, I mean but when you mention a letter then, ya I probably would have done that as well


letter photos


there will be a, time capsule thing right it reminds you, so photos maybe not so much but a letter, something very personal then it's handwritten, I think that is more touching ah then


what else, , I think I would put like, err along with the letter right like <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> message for myself


, I would have maybe err keep kept some treasure somewhere and then maybe ten years later <mandarin>忘记了:wang ji le</mandarin> so I in the message <mandarin>我会放:wo hui fang</mandarin> this is a treasure hunt if you remember it's here and here so maybe ten years later <mandarin>那个地方都已经不一样了:na ge di fang dou yi jing bu yi yang le</mandarin> like maybe <mandarin>那棵树不见了被斩掉了:na ke shu bu jian le bei zhan diao le</mandarin> or what so I will like keep coordinates


to you know, it's like a sort of like a game lah treasure hunt, ya, , something that is


err very valuable to to myself, not necessarily like cash or anything but, from my mum or from my dad


like a ring or some sort, you know something of a value of, monetary value but also, it's a memorable thing you know, would you <mandarin>舍得丢进那个:she de diu jin na ge</mandarin> ya true also lah


don't know I'm just, thinking out loud, okay, !wah!


!wah! this is, err


!wow!, , I think for me


I have never thought about that also but if you open, a window for me to <mandarin>给我这个机会:gei wo zhe ge ji hui</mandarin> to, say something to myself in the past, I always I honestly don't know what I would say


because I I guess I think, I need more time to, compose myself and, write a message or whatever lah, cause, cause I don't know what else probably make better decisions you know


it's not that I made bad decisions but whatever decision that I've made in the past brought me here and now, I'm not in such a bad situation it's relatively good, and


of course things could have been better, but, I don't know how else it can be better, I mean in hindsight maybe small things like you know I could have


pushed harder and gone further with something you know, ten years ago which is, when I'm still in SQ, , two years flying


so, I would have probably told myself to, you know, push harder, to get a promotion earlier, and, and tell tell him that it's not so bad


to stay in the airline you know, because now there is COVID it's difficult to look for a job you know save up and, ya, that would be it


yes since I started flying, I


gave, myself err about, three years, because I thought three years would be sufficient you know just travel around the world


I mean, there is a lot of things in the world to to see but, I think <mandarin>那三年是不够:na san nian shi bu gou</mandarin> and, and it being in the airline it won't make you travel to, all the places anyway so


mean <mandarin>做完这个:zuo wan zhe ge</mandarin> I mean it can I can move on to other things but, one of the things that made me, push me away from this was when I joined and then, it was I think <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> fourth


solo, then I was called up for a flight, then and I was called up for a flight for the next day, but then the day before at night <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> have cough but I didn't think much about it then


high fever, my batch boy had to carry me out of the bed and drag me to drag me to the hospital, it was very bad high fever then <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> have to report sick lor


so report sick then, then, after that the company emailed me and said err, err your explanation has been accepted


but but please reflect on your actions, and I felt very demotivated I I felt disappointed at the company


and that was when I feel like err you know I don't have to push so hard I'm gonna leave in two years time anyway or two years time anyway, so, that is why I didn't really push myself in the beginning and I just went on


I mean, but, then ya so I would tell myself you know all these things are not permanent you know you have to


keep pushing lah I mean, make do the best, you can


way longer ya lor but, so, of course I think it was the, the, the comfort I was in my comfort zone and


and I was lazy I guess <mandarin>就不舍得离开这个:jiu bu she de li kai zhe ge</mandarin> zone, and, that dragged on for many years, ya, but of course throughout the years <mandarin>我有去找其他工:wo you qu zhao qi ta gong</mandarin> lah just not actively


and only recent two years I've been pumping up my applications, but it was only until


but, I think they are a bit more picky now, ya so like that lor,


ya, definitely


ya, IT is doing quite well I mean look at the, biggest companies in US they are, all tech companies


ya ya, ya ya especially yes saving money that part, it actually saves a lot on, agree


next one, what what labels do you think have been given, do you think you have been given by society


what sort of labels like, I don't really get this though, ya, [orh]


, I haven't been labelled I don't think I've been labelled maybe, behind my back <mandarin>人家会叫我:ren jia hui jiao wo</mandarin> whatever lah but I don't know


so you are like a nonconformist, you choose what to conform and what not to conform,


I think I tend to be a bit like that also, maybe, maybe I label myself lah I'm a nonconformist but actually I'm just like a, wannabe nonconformist, if that exist


like if the general public, I would, I would try my best, to do the opposite


that kind like if okay everybody <mandarin>买:mai</mandarin> iphone iphone is like the most popular, phone, then <mandarin>我就会:wo jiu hui</mandarin> err okay I don't want to be like them I just want to, buy something else, you know


I don't know,


ya, ya I think, although it's it's not like the stereotype like something that is, label as bad or anything stubborn is a form of


adjective which can still be used as a label so I guess I accept, tiger mum what's a tiger mum, what's a tiger mum


[orh] those then that's a <mandarin>虎妈:hu ma</mandarin> ah (uh huh)


oh okay, , ,


oh my god


!wow!


seventy five is an A <mandarin>好像是不是:hao xiang shi bu shi</mandarin> eighty meh


eight <mandarin>好像是:hao xiang shi</mandarin> eighty eighty <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> eighty five but I think eighty five a bit too high [bah], I think so ya,


!aiya! anyway if I were in the exam I won't get so high also one don't know my exams will never


I don't really bother how but I don't think I get that high I never bother to find out how much I score I don't remember the scores,


ya


ya it's good in a way it it pushes you to be, to try, for better


ya true lah because I feel, , a certain leeway has to be given lah, I mean you are a child I know that you should be, I mean that I think that's my my childhood


err, form my thoughts today, because as a child I know my my parents pushed me to you know you have to do well, but not to a point where, I have to score hundred or ninety nine it's it's it's a bit


tough lah I feel so there should be a balance lah but I think having, seeing that, I wished I had more of that in my childhood then


push for something, you know, instead I feel like, I'm a bit slacking, but then, because I'm using this as an excuse you know I cannot blame my childhood for what I end up you know


identifying the problem then I should come up with a solution what so


perfect you know perfect, ya, ya


, and I'm glad that I,


, living and growing up in singapore is


it's it's very stressful there's a lot of pressure put on your shoulders, in order to achieve you know, achieve something, like <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> I feel like, growing up in malaysia is a very different ball game


you know you do your best and, you know but maybe my family was different but, but what I've seen is generally malaysian's are quite, slack, in a way, but, let's look at #kah bin# for awhile he he studied in malaysia and but he he grew up


, err quite independently he also pushes himself very hard in order to achieve things, mean having, born in a minority family right it's a bit difficult, err so he he he


he strives to be better, in order to prove himself, you know, so he already has that quality and then coming to singapore it also shaped him into what he is today, so


coming to singapore was very suitable for him, in a way where he can, be equally as err driven as, the general public here, so my question is


growing up in singapore <mandarin>你会不会觉得很:ni hui bu hui jue de hen</mandarin> stressful, I mean your your your classmates are all equally driven and equally hardworking you know, is it very competitive


, oh okay


, , okay


(mmhmm)


their children ya always always


okay


, so is it true that in singapore


arts and creative they are, less likely to get jobs with which are higher paying


, okay, ya, you have to stand out, ya ya


, ya true true


I think it's also a very chinese thing because I had, I sort of had that kind of err, mentality, put on me as well, because after my secondary school


I mean I grew up, loving arts I was very good at arts I was also good at languages except chinese, but, so when I got my results after secondary school I was given two choices


I mean my results, err allowed me to take engineering, but at the same time I was very interested, in taking creative, media, then, of course the indecisive me I ask <mandarin>我爸爸妈妈:wo ba ba ma ma</mandarin> lor


you know


then I'm like okay lor so I just, pick engineering, which is something that I don't regret even though I would have


much rather taken err creative media or, in get into the creative sector, because being in engineering it means you need to use a lot of your brain to, analyse things to be logical about decisions and all that


, it gives you a very good, err base in that, but at the same time I also thought if I were to take creative media who knows, maybe <mandarin>现在我已经:xian zai wo yi jing</mandarin> you know


at a certain age and a certain experience I may be able to, explore and be good at what I I took, and at the same time like what you said it's true I mean out of <mandarin>十个:shi ge</mandarin> artists


right, if you ask ten of them to draw the same thing, only the ones that stand out will, will appeal to you right those who feel you feel is good I mean beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder but


there tend to be people who will stand out and these are the ones who probably would, get chosen in terms of jobs in terms of err, competition or whatever right, so it is quite difficult but if you are an IT person


and the company, company needs people right and then especially nowadays, so, you don't have to stand out as long as you can do a certain required err reach a certain requirement then you are


set you know, so, ya it's a good and bad lah between either one,


you are like a hippie, modern hippie


ya my my dad is also something like that, mean he he's also someone who, when he started he worked for someone but he didn't want to do that for long then he started his own, err business you know selling paints he he opened a shop he started selling paints and


bathroom fittings and all that, then from there he went into MLM, we started, doing direct selling and all that, so towards the end he was


online business you know, and this was in, early two thousands, so, he he had that vision lah I mean


at his age and at a time when, but because of <mandarin>他的年龄:ta de nian ling</mandarin> and also, he wasn't well versed in IT and all that


he didn't do it he couldn't do it I mean,


ya but now looking back you know, I wish I had, helped him more you know, now I see like, starting your business or doing business at least, is one form of success as well


and, and he always say you cannot work for, somebody for the for your whole life because it won't make you rich, you you will get by you will definitely have money to get by but it's not something you will be successful at


then I always don't get that because there are people who worked for companies and they become successful as well, so I guess now with my mindset I I guess people, are generally either one you can either you can be very well working for somebody you can be successful as well


or if you are a business person you can also be, doing very well in your business, so it just depends on how, what kind of person you are you know, and


it's good to be it's good it's good to grow up in a family where I'm exposed to a bit of both lah, so you can see the you know, the <mandarin>好处:hao chu</mandarin> of both sides


ya, ya that's why, because if you think about it, I mean, of course, depends on your goals in life I guess


, if you were to if I were to fly with SQ right I would have to fly for a certain number of years until maybe I'm fifty or until I retire and the money slowly increases right, but


doing so will not make me a millionaire lah, right, but but I it's not like I say I wanna be a millionaire or whatever but, just the idea of you know, you are actually being paid for your time, to develop their business and it's not yours you some people are fine with that I totally have no qualms about that but


the idea of, starting something and making your mark in this world, is appealing to me lor I guess,


ya, ya, so I'm slowly


realising that maybe I'm not the err the right person to do business maybe I'm, better at taking directions and you know working for other people, but we'll see lah let's see


ya, making decision of course ya but it's it's it's not like <mandarin>我不要:wo bu yao</mandarin> make decision, it's just, I'm bad at it, and I need to find a solution to solve that you know


to make better decisions, decision making terrible-ness ya ya because


I don't I don't I don't like I I felt that throughout the whole time, it always comes down to that, when I think about it right when something is not done right, it's always, ties back to, the decision that I made before


and I realise it's, I wouldn't say a bad decision but a decision made from bad judgement, because if it's a bad decision I wouldn't have ended, here well and okay you know, but


could have been better lah, , sometimes no, , !wah! this has become a, interrogation session no no no no it's not it's not it's just it feels like you know like a psychology


a not psychologist asking a patient question and it's recording you know, for future references ya I think I feel like there a a lack of mandarin leh <mandarin>因为我:yin wei wo</mandarin> when it comes to


when it's my part, enough ah,


true, when I say when I say something in a sentence hor, I feel like <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> lacking


(mmhmm) <mandarin>对对对:dui dui dui</mandarin> agree


oh, organise <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> conversation because


agree to what you are saying, it's like eh should I agree or not, should I just will will this ruin their the recording so I don't know how it works but, let's just do it lor


I guess, , ya I don't know if they will be listening


into a conversation or is it, computer listening like, , I don't know I feel like I've been laughing and, the laughing is spiking the


the volume, ya, at least earlier on lah now is okay


ya I had fun, I had a lot of fun, and we are fifty two minutes into the recording !yay! ya, ya, seven more minutes


towards the end ah let's see I need to go through the brief, okay towards end it doesn't say anything though


do we have to hit like, , full on sixty minutes or its fifty two I think we just slowly record all the way lah cause now we have like


let's see fifty three three eight yup, ya , then one hour we, it doesn't have to be like, it <mandarin>刚刚好一个小时:gang gang hao yi ge xiao shi</mandarin> right it can be like


it can be like <mandarin>一个小时几分钟:yi ge xiao shi ji fen zhong</mandarin> I don't think they are , , I actually enjoy this leh I mean if we had


planned out properly and had a few topics to talk about I think we can turn this into like a podcast, ya but it has to be interesting lah it has to be something that people would be interested to listen in


not just , random stories about our life


[orh] [orh]


it spoke to me I don't know how he does it , serious


but, how did they find out about


what, the , what the course actually tells what the course actually does


you mean he they went to the introduction and then they decide to sign up for it oh right right okay


, !wow! !wow!


(mmhmm)


okay


!wah!


world peace ya ya very pageant-ish although I don't look like beauty pageant queen but, but <mandarin>我真的是很想天下太平:wo zhen de shi hen xiang tian xia tai ping</mandarin> lah cause I think the world has really been going in quite a certain way and people are suffering and for me when I see <mandarin>大人小孩:da ren xiao hai</mandarin> especially


you know <mandarin>那时候那个:na shi hou na ge</mandarin> refugee situation where <mandarin>他们要过海然后坐那些:ta men yao guo hai ran hou zuo na xie</mandarin> lifeboat right then they flip and all that then !wah! I very <mandarin>心痛:xin tong</mandarin> lah, ya and and I find that if


all the different countries and the different races, they can actually like <mandarin>和睦相处:he mu xiang chu</mandarin> right actually I think that would really be, perfect lah, but <mandarin>我有一点难:wo you yi dian nan</mandarin> but


actually <mandarin>我要先问你:wo yao xian wen ni</mandarin> what is your first wish


I'm just imagining <mandarin>我们会不会吓死人:wo men hui bu hui xia si ren</mandarin> like suddenly then <mandarin>这边有人:zhe bian you ren</mandarin> then then <mandarin>那边有人:na bian you ren</mandarin> or maybe <mandarin>有那种:you na zhong</mandarin> like teleport airport you know what I mean like like like <mandarin>你只可以:ni zhi ke yi</mandarin> teleport <mandarin>到一个:dao yi ge</mandarin> location ya ah


maybe,


, like, I think never mind lah let's just <mandarin>笑应该是:xiao ying gai shi</mandarin> okay [bah]


!aiya! <mandarin>不知道:bu zhi dao</mandarin> leh let's just see how it goes, , !wow!, !wah! <mandarin>这个问题:zhe ge wen ti</mandarin> hor


because, you can ask for, you can think about anything eh ya and I'm those kind of people when you don't give me choices right, a bit difficult ah


like what I said just now teleport, ,


, actually reading people's mind did come to my mind but, maybe in this case, err


teleport <mandarin>也是很好玩:ye shi hen hao wan</mandarin> lah, maybe I'd like I would like, teleporting or telekinesis, cause telekinesis is more of like


build I can provide a service whereby <mandarin>你要把你的东西放到一百楼那边:ni yao ba ni de dong xi fang dao yi bai lou na bian</mandarin> right I can just transport it up there, ya, ya


that is possible as well, but I but I also chose teleporting also because I like to travel lah, and I I might not have the means to travel like all the time right ya then if I can be there here for awhile then there for awhile that will really be nice and people


at home won't realise the, huge difference ya ya, ya


ya I was taking a nap <mandarin>你不知道:ni bu zhi dao</mandarin> meh ya, ya well, I guess but I think is also because something similar between us I think


travelling is about experiences for us, a little bit, like <mandarin>就是去吃一顿饭:jiu shi qu chi yi dun fan</mandarin> or <mandarin>去:qu</mandarin> experienced <mandarin>一下去坐在河边一下:yi xia qu zuo zai he bian yi xia</mandarin> or like <mandarin>喝一杯:he yi bei</mandarin> then you just watch the people go by like feel the the place ya oh ya I would love to just teleport to all those art museums see see see a bit


ya, and


I I think I I never watched that movie but I remembered that movie when we were quite young right like I think maybe in our


teens ya I saw I don't know I remembered a photo of him sitting on the sphinx with someone or what ya


ya <mandarin>做这种东西是没有好结果的:zuo zhe zhong dong xi shi mei you hao jie guo de</mandarin> ya ya ya ya so let it be recorded


ha,


!wow!, definitely a letter to myself, to the future self that's for sure


err, photos, , and maybe, a list of questions, , to to me, you know like to the ten years later me something like


your goals has it been realised, ya, in a way, and maybe some things that I really love and enjoy maybe to remind myself of the things that really matter


!wah!, that sounds fun


but if it is something that is of value to you <mandarin>你会舍得:ni hui she de</mandarin> ya, okay then I ask you back this thing if you can


write a letter, to <mandarin>十年前的你:shi nian qian de ni</mandarin> lah, I can share first like <mandarin>因为那天我在整理:yin wei na tian wo zai zheng li</mandarin> my stuff at home then I was sitting there and I chanced upon my


old notebook, and apparently I was okay now I'm thirty five right, so apparently I think I was nineteen at that time, and was just writing like how upset I am and I just feel so, err stressed because I have to make decision


in my life and I have to, be responsible for my decision, err I think that time was after my A levels then <mandarin>我的成绩没有很好我没有:wo de cheng ji mei you hen hao wo mei you</mandarin> fail <mandarin>可是我也考不进:ke shi wo ye kao bu jin</mandarin> like NUS <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> NTU then <mandarin>我就在那边惨了:wo jiu zai na bian can le</mandarin> how ah


do I go to poly or do I do I redo my As or


and I think at that point I was very like !wah! stressed and then I just felt the weight of the world on my shoulders ya at <mandarin>十九岁:shi jiu sui</mandarin> now I'm rolling my eyes, then, then I also felt like relationship wise like I'm not getting the support that I want


and, !wah!, cause I I actually tell myself eh


I found myself talking to myself, that, don't worry, it actually all turned out fine, it's all great, and whatever that was then, that you worried about, it didn't happen


and today everything that was great was because of, a decision you made at that time, ya you didn't know how is what's gonna happen


so it all turned out fine ya and it will all, eventually turn out fine, and that's actually what I told, myself, to the ten years later, person like I will tell myself like <mandarin>十年后:shi nian hou</mandarin> I know I will look back


everything is going to turn out fine, ya, that was like like for me lah that's why I ask you lor


what was it


, , you mean you've been thinking about, like, there's like always an option of you leaving the airline like since you started flying


!wah!, why did you choose to fly in the first place


then <mandarin>是什么让你:shi shen me rang ni</mandarin> like you know you you choose to stay, longer than it is since you've thought about leaving but you stayed longer, way longer, ya


, I mean, I would think so, because now that is like


there's a lot of people out there the supply more than the demand, but I guess certain industry will do, better, than the others, but if you don't have the skill sets or you don't have that kind of experience then


it's not lah, I would think IT industry is actually quite doing quite well right now


ya and I think this is probably the future to go because even if there's a vaccine vaccination that's being found right, I suspect that you know when companies find out that they their people can work from home you know there's a lot of things that could be automated you don't really need that level of workforce


ya actually that's where the future is they can save a lot of money,


what shall we talk, !wow!,


like <mandarin>给你上什么标签:gei ni shang shen me biao qian</mandarin> like maybe, one example people will call you might call you weirdo or


or, very stereotypical stuff


actually, people will, will, try to say that, they won't say I'm rebellious, but I don't


follow the, main stream, sort of but I think I conform as well, I don't know society,


I think similar to me like fashion trends right you know we women we like to dress a lot of trends and, whenever there's like some particular fashion trend coming up I will just like no I'm not going to follow any trend I am going to wear what I wanna wear


oh I don't know whether stubborn is a label or not, is that a label, maybe


, I think people say tiger mum is a label right that's probably a label tiger mum !huh!


last time, ya I remember one incident, I think that really shaped me into who I am leh, I share with you now , when I was a kid ah my mandarin is I come from a very mandarin speaking family so my chinese is usually


very easily I'll get high points one so there was one exam I think the mid year exam I got ninety nine upon hundred, , then my mum was very pleased lah then she say okay ninety nine upon hundred very good but do not be complacent


you know and said that go and find out how come you miss out that one point, that's okay that's okay and then end of the year exam final year exam, I my chinese I got ninety five upon one hundred


I went home I went to my mum then my mum how how did you do of course lah <mandarin>第一个我就跟他讲:di yi ge wo jiu gen ta jiang</mandarin> like is like the, the highest score that I have which is ninety five upon hundred and I expected her to be happy, but guess what her face change


she went to get the cane and she whack me, and then she ya, she asked me, why is it not ninety nine, ya so, so she said you did better last time


and, and now you you didn't do as well as last time what happen to you did you get lazy or what were you careless, and I was just like !wow!, that young little girl just think that okay ninety five upon hundred is not good enough


, so this thing really shake me, because <mandarin>我从小到大:wo cong xiao dao da</mandarin> hor like if you give me like <mandarin>七十五:qi shi wu</mandarin> upon one hundred right, I will I will be upset one leh it's a pass I think last time during my time


is still an A for, seventy five upon hundred is an A for JC or secondary school I cannot remember, eighty I can't remember eighty five, eighty five seventy five band two eighty five band one


ninety and above


excellent ninety five and above, and if I get, let's say <mandarin>我们不是一起去:wo men bu shi yi qi qu</mandarin> french classes lor, so when I've got err, eighty upon hundred for my first year


I was like, !wah! okay not bad, then, the second year went back for refresher I got seventy eight upon hundred damn upset, then third year refresher then I got eighty something ya, I was upset leh then until someone told me eh I think ah you might have got the highest in class cause you were not in the same


exam as me ah you were not I think, why, !huh! but you


we were not err we didn't I didn't ask for the score but they somehow that day the <mandarin>老师:lao shi</mandarin> they, told us the score, and then we we compared because there are some people who failed and she know we talk about it right so


so when I found out that I might be the highest in the class okay I'm not so upset anymore, but I'm still like why didn't I do better, so you can see like


double edged sword


, I guess it's very funny one like I will have something that you want, you will have something that I want


and we both think that if I have what you have, and <mandarin>你有我有的:ni you wo you de</mandarin> our life is going to be perfect, ya and and but but I think that's not that's not really it


ya , because the flip really the flip side of this being like so driven and so like, performance driven ah, is that, it's very hard to feel satisfied, and I'm glad that I


I can do it now lah I mean I I shared with you I had some training and all that right it's really it's really that, if not I will never everything is never good enough for me, is a very tiring life actually, , and once !wah! I discover that the impact of me living my whole life like that


and the impact that view has , what you call that err, constrain me ah, !wah! I just like !wah! you mean like <mandarin>我可以不用一直这样追:wo ke yi bu yong yi zhi zhe yang zhui</mandarin> ah that actually, err free me up and now I can actually go for performance


ah <mandarin>不懂在追什么:bu dong zai zhui shen me</mandarin>


so it's so it's <mandarin>还好:hai hao</mandarin> lah,


it is, but I'm naturally not naturally I'm, I'm competitive, since I was a kid, and the funny thing is <mandarin>我妈妈:wo ma ma</mandarin> use to be malaysian, ya ya but it was because of her past that's why she imposed whatever on me she don't want me to have


her her life she saw the value of education, ya and she said and and when she told me that she had a hard life lah and then err when she saw that I am someone that can be pushed and I will move because my sister right no matter how she push right she's like a mountain she just won't move one so so she realise eh I push a bit this one will move I push some more she also will move okay I'm just going to push her all the way and and then and then I said oh !wow! okay thank you I mean I I get that now lah


stress actually as a kid I wouldn't know what is stress but I felt the need to be, ahead of people, I don't know whether it's because of me, or what, ya so in the end whatever I do in life I'm always in the


top few ya I won't compete with people, obviously I will silently do my part and then I will take over you, ya, , I have I never really had that kind of competition, err it wasn't that obvious for me until


in secondary school, when I went right it's it's actually a relatively good school I realise that everybody around me right, is like equally smart or smarter no longer like I no need to study can do one no no no so if you wanna be better than others really got to like study harder


so actually that's when I, I felt like, okay <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> stress, , and it doesn't help that, I don't know chinese family like to compare, err all the children ya


, and then , achieve what, the stress the thing ah the thing about growing up in singapore, I'm not science and maths driven person, and actually if you are very science and math driven


in singapore, it you actually do, fairly well, you can be a lawyer can be a doctor can do science you can, ya if you are great at math you can do accountancy you know all these jobs are actually quite valued here and you can get money they pay lah


uh whereas I'm good in the arts, ya, it can only get you, certain things lah, not where the the <mandarin>会赚钱的:hui zhuan qian de</mandarin> sectors actually that's where I felt that I I lose out


I find that <mandarin>赚钱:zhuan qian</mandarin> will be easier for me in singapore


I won't say I would say is the availability of it


you have to be probably the creme de la creme to, to, to have that kind to command that kind of pay, ya okay let's say err maybe is the nature of the industry, ya, you have to ya because <mandarin>会写的人:hui xie de ren</mandarin> could be like a dime a dozen err err scientists with writing flare <mandarin>也是可以写东西:ye shi ke yi xie dong xi</mandarin> what like <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> write a <mandarin>剧本:ju ben</mandarin> or what


you can't do science stuff unless you are great at it that's kind of like the, the thing, , I guess growing in up in that kind of era, it is err


very singaporean thing to value, like certain sectors, for the, money err opportunity lah


I I I grew up like on and off in my life ah I sometimes just feel like it's quite <mandarin>不公平:bu gong ping</mandarin> like like, why do I like arts and like arts the arts and I'm actually better at the arts why can't I be good at science and math


or even business ya even until this age ah my father will still sometimes like eh, you know, you can go and find like oh this business idea or maybe you can like go and find the next technology that's going to like like sell a lot of money or what ya and


then I'm just like dad


sort of and and daddy will say then <mandarin>你去去找一个可以让世界和平的东西出来:ni qu qu zhao yi ge ke yi rang shi jie he ping de dong xi chu lai</mandarin> lah like a idea or something lah that's what that's what he, he said he said to me lah


, so is that why you started doing like small small business, on your own right now,


I think it ties in with like the, wanting some kind of uniqueness like not going the flow ya and, ya but you know my friend I think that takes making a lot of decisions


I don't know I just listen to you lah, think you do want to accomplish something, I think you will want to, , I think, you are just this very creative person


you like to create things, and, well you can work for someone and also create something on the side as well I think that would really be great and <mandarin>旁边那个可以越做越大:pang bian na ge ke yi yue zuo yue da</mandarin> you know ya I think that will really fulfil you


but whatever it is it all involves it all involves making decisions


to solve your, badness or, you you so fixed on that for yourself


do you trust yourself ultimately, , no no I'm sorry you felt


, well actually I also don't know whether our recording will pass or not


actually ten per cent right sixty minutes divide by ten just need six minutes worth of mandarin mah


ya, ya


I have no idea well, well that's why <mandarin>我就是点头:wo jiu shi dian tou</mandarin> or shake head and, and to agree but but I guess if we are not chosen guys please choose us err


oh is it, I think mine, I think we got control a bit lah I guess lah !aiya! if we don't, if we don't get chosen, at least we had a good conversation


ya ha ha ha !yay! like air high five, one thing I just cannot remember is towards the end we need to clap our hands and then


ya, I also don't know maybe it's easier for my side I very scared I accidentally delete think I'll cry, okay I guess we just err


stop and then later then we just stop and that's it ah, ya ya ya we should


fifty three three eight and counting ya we should continue, ya <mandarin>才一下子而已:cai yi xia zi er yi</mandarin> mah, ya lor


I would ya I would I wouldn't think they are very particular cause we are humans there's gonna be like plus minus a bit right, ya lor


we can we can


actually why not sometimes you will be surprised like I think our stories would really make a difference to people also, people like to hear triumph


like, like err, people like to hear like <mandarin>小人物赢的:xiao ren wu ying de</mandarin> story, of people being successful <mandarin>我忘记要:wo wang ji yao</mandarin> twenty CM, then, , ya


oh and and <mandarin>我有跟:wo you gen</mandarin> err joanna and zen I told them like eh I'm going to to this with err kelvin today and then I said oh I also invited him to the introduction lah then they are like oh that's great ya hope he gets what he wants lah if he takes it on cause both of them actually done it ya it's very cute one like


zen did it because <mandarin>他一直很:ta yi zhi hen</mandarin> curious like what do I do over the weekend during our training and then <mandarin>他就:ta jiu</mandarin> like, I want to find out what you are what you have been doing then I just okay this is what I've been doing if you want you can come then he's like I'm not going to sign up or anything ah don't sign don't sign you want to come you come and find out I very busy


then, then he went then after that he say eh I think I want to do it then I'm like !huh!, then then I said, [orh] because there's one thing he wants in his life that he, couldn't


ya ya a bit like that but like really, I think <mandarin>那时候:na shi hou</mandarin> I think <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> joanna <mandarin>跟他:gen ta</mandarin> when we are together like to talk about


err, life in general, like err, they both practice yoga so they will talk about like [orh] spirituality in a sense and yoga practice awareness, then then he he told he told her lah then I said ya ya I I I said this is great lah think a few months later then she


she also went to check it out, and then she she also like she went without expectation, and then she, she sign up also then I was like, okay, ya


well if I there's no such it's not informative this course is not like there's a syllabus so called


they will talk about distinctions there are about twenty plus or forty plus cannot remember distinctions in the forum, it's like a conversation, just there they found out about it lah but there are people who just listen to


like their friends or, or people around them who had done it then they just they just go for it lor for me ah, my friend actually asked me I know this friend for five years eh no not five years twenty years


and I know her we've been closed like family the bunch of us then <mandarin>我就发现这个人:wo jiu fa xian zhe ge ren</mandarin> hor <mandarin>做么:zuo me</mandarin> like


I'm like, and different in a good way, she said oh you know I discovered this I discovered that this is my blind spot this is how I've been viewing myself and, no wonder all my relationship don't work out then I'm like !wah! and then she said and then she stop complaining about life


!wah! <mandarin>我跟你讲以前我要听他:wo gen ni jiang yi qian wo yao ting ta</mandarin> talk about her life !wah! <mandarin>我会想要自杀的那种:wo hui xiang yao zi sha de na zhong</mandarin> leh really like <mandarin>为什么他不喜欢我为什么没有人要:wei shen me ta bu xi huan wo wei shen me mei you ren yao</mandarin> like <mandarin>找我去做这个做那个为什么人家不选我:zhao wo qu zuo zhe ge zuo na ge wei shen me ren jia bu xuan wo</mandarin> you know, then she stop complaining


she started finally started the, err franchisee consultant she came out she quit her job she actually started the business that she <mandarin>讲了七八年:jiang le qi ba nian</mandarin> that she wanted to start, ya and now she's doing quite well lah then <mandarin>我就在那边:wo jiu zai na bian</mandarin> like


something different ah then she invited me lah then we were flying a lot at that time, it took her five times leh over don't know how many months eh <mandarin>他一直问我:ta yi zhi wen wo</mandarin> then <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> like !wah! very irritating leh I shall just go for introduction that time is physical


and just nice that period of time, , my ex relationship ended fourteen years mah and, and I just thought you know what, I think I want to, start, my life again like have a new life so what if I'm top one percent in SQ so what if they ask me to go for promotion interview I was ready to leave leh


cause I don't want anything in my life anymore, then, I just thought you know what , and I went in I found out so much about myself and understood why my relationship don't work


it really gave me this, closure, and then I'm so at peace then I could start again, and, and I start to have all these results happen in my life lor, like studying a new language from scratch hor


okay, err so we start with the first question first ah, you so


what I that one what is one wish, you wish for, ah


ya, but then right


okay, err, one is confirm like, because


I really like food, and, I'm very short so every time I eat something right, then , I'd rather


can just keep eating and don't need to exercise, ya, err, I <mandarin>想想:xiang xiang</mandarin> a bit err, ding, sounds very cliche lah but


world peace ah , like, ya because,


without all these wars maybe can save don't know thousands millions of lives, the one, that one ah I haven't think leh you


!wah!


ya I guess, I mean, it's a good point lah I I I'm surprised <mandarin>我没有想到:wo mei you xiang dao</mandarin> this


more wishes thing or like unlimited wishes, ya, , but


so maybe that's why we don't have unlimited wishes lor, but, so maybe you thinking of like you want to go and like <mandarin>创一个天空:chuang yi ge tian kong</mandarin> for yourself ah


(mmhmm)


!wah! my last wish ah


it's really like I mean you can exercise all you want you can eat as healthy as you want but ultimately


do you know some people <mandarin>他们天天都跑步天天都吃菜:ta men tian tian dou pao bu tian tian dou chi cai</mandarin> but some of them still die early mah, I think health lah because, you for example <mandarin>你活一辈子:ni huo yi bei zi</mandarin> but you may not be healthy so the time you spend right is not quality


ya so I think that's my third wish ah, !wah!


but <mandarin>这个是问你要牺牲什么:zhe ge shi wen ni yao xi sheng shen me</mandarin> meh, they already say you want to drop everything what


I feel lah because, it's like saying if you want to cook everything, then what will you cook, I already say I will cook everything what


maybe the question


, but then I'm still willing to give it up lah


I want but I have to drop okay and maybe you give me an example lah,


cause right for me, like as as of now <mandarin>我没有这样的梦想:wo mei you zhe yang de meng xiang</mandarin> lah <mandarin>会为了这个梦想:hui wei le zhe ge meng xiang</mandarin> then give up my family


so, a bit difficult for me to answer this question lah, I I don't think I will give up my family, err like permanently lah <mandarin>偶尔偶尔:ou er ou er</mandarin> okay <mandarin>飞去别的国家:fei qu bie de guo jia</mandarin> err holiday <mandarin>几个星期:ji ge xing qi</mandarin> like that is not bad but


if like I migrate cannot see my family few ten years, then, ya, ya okay


err you think already you go first lah


err, then like that <mandarin>你去:ni qu</mandarin> ikea


okay then, me ah at first <mandarin>我想的:wo xiang de</mandarin> quite lame ah I want to like be invisible so, either invisible or , you know on zoom


and then they think you are there but actually you are not there, (uh huh), so maybe I would want to have multiple versions of me, that can go to different places and do different things, then like that <mandarin>我妈妈开心我爸爸开心我朋友开心:wo ma ma kai xin wo ba ba kai xin wo peng you kai xin</mandarin> and I still have the same twenty four hours in a day


, !wah! like a bit sad leh


I think good is you can play board games with them ah


it depends on the age


err, time capsule of myself ah actually I think this time capsule like just now you talking about the


err write letter


you know because that one is papa buy for me one, then, maybe have those, recently I found some pictures on myself you know like, take selfies on their webcam, then I show my friend !wah! she say oh my god <mandarin>你以前这样的:ni yi qian zhe yang de</mandarin> ah <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> bangs <mandarin>全部:quan bu</mandarin> then I like like ya so


maybe I put some pictures of myself, I think quite cute, and then, to see where you will find the the burger ya


ya, nobody call me that lor only you and Korkor call me, ya, so


otherwise


okay lah, like that, since <mandarin>我没有去想这些东西:wo mei you qu xiang zhe xie dong xi</mandarin> [orh] okay


!wah! labels are, you know , sometimes, when you go like


like my my JC <mandarin>你去这些:ni qu zhe xie</mandarin> like <mandarin>人家讲是名校:ren jia jiang shi ming xiao</mandarin> then people immediately think that you are very, like <mandarin>你只会读书:ni zhi hui du shu</mandarin> only you know, and, sometimes I feel like


I need to present myself in a certain way just because I come from this school, ya then <mandarin>他们很注重他们的名誉:ta men hen zhu zhong ta men de ming yu</mandarin> one you know, so


quite Sian lah I guess, but, if you ownself don't allow, society to place it on your right


I think with that mindset there's no such thing as <mandarin>浪费时间:lang fei shi jian</mandarin> lah I think we feel so rushed about doing everything like <mandarin>现在我十九岁就要想:xian zai wo shi jiu sui jiu yao xiang</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>以后我要做什么工:yi hou wo yao zuo shen me gong</mandarin> all that kind of stuff but there's definitely


people who don't think about this maybe they're even happier than me cause <mandarin>他们不用操心这些东西:ta men bu yong cao xin zhe xie dong xi</mandarin> mah, in like, it's just


I quite happy okay I think I tried a lot of food


but, right now, I, I think


restaurant called NUSS so, they have this tiramisu, that <mandarin>以前我不喜欢:yi qian wo bu xi huan</mandarin> tiramisu <mandarin>的不是不喜欢:de bu shi bu xi huan</mandarin> lah it's just that I don't really eat it I prefer chocolate cake and stuff more but <mandarin>我去那边我:wo qu na bian wo</mandarin> try <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> tiramisu hor <mandarin>现在我的:xian zai wo de</mandarin> telegram bio change to I love tiramisu eh


so that one was really amazing and I would love to go back but I think you need some membership or something, ya, ya


and you


so the experience made it memorable lah


actually, what you say is true also I never really experienced this type of hospitality ya but, maybe it's just more of a singaporean kind <mandarin>我们没有那么亲切:wo men mei you na me qin qie</mandarin> you know, we're more


, , just get the job done lor, , hospitality not only in, more Atas place lah ya


I just realized is <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> like to me free only is to everybody lor,


actually <mandarin>你选什么都是好的因为:ni xuan shen me dou shi hao de yin wei</mandarin> no matter what right, no matter what you choose, one more this one thing, will be free versus nothing is free


ya lor then <mandarin>你要找别的方式赚钱:ni yao zhao bie de fang shi zhuan qian</mandarin> lor like for example, just because <mandarin>他们不要卖水:ta men bu yao mai shui</mandarin> doesn't mean they cannot <mandarin>卖:mai</mandarin> other stuff what


, !wah!


, I will want to <mandarin>玩游世界:wan you shi jie</mandarin> for sure, and, , I've never really understood why we still need to work when technology is improving in fact


our ultimate goal, should be that, then <mandarin>我们可以:wo men ke yi</mandarin> really like enjoy our time here on earth


but, seems like everything is just about creating jobs and stuff you know, but, I think, ya definitely travel the world, and, spend my time


I got tell you <mandarin>我的朋友他去:wo de peng you ta qu</mandarin> the beach clean up, cause <mandarin>你讲你要帮那个:ni jiang ni yao bang na ge</mandarin> environment mah


then, ya but true lah I think all this beach clean up, effect one


then, like collective action, so, ya


this one ah, I don't think I can do it lah or wash face or you know all these kind of things that you don't think about like one minute two minute only then you


stretch it out to eight hours


[orh] okay I know


it's confirm like <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> grammar, like your grammar, maybe the way we speak or, [orh] I know


chewing noises, tilted, very petty lah because I will like I will end up judging the person but actually the person <mandarin>是很好的人:shi hen hao de ren</mandarin> but <mandarin>因为这些小小的事:yin wei zhe xie xiao xiao de shi</mandarin> then I just get very like triggered ya you eh


okay ah like that <mandarin>很好:hen hao</mandarin> what, you're not so judging you know, , actually I see the next question this one I interested I already think of my answer already


okay if you can instantly master three new skills what would they be, err definitely sewing


clothes ah then <mandarin>可以做很多不同的:ke yi zuo hen duo bu tong de</mandarin> design and then


they, can sell quite expensive sia and imagine if I can make my own clothes it'll be very like unique and, and


ya, ya correct lor so I want to like create something, very nice design the clothes that fit me cause <mandarin>有时候你在外面找东西:you shi hou ni zai wai mian zhao dong xi</mandarin> hor <mandarin>你找衣服是很难找因为:ni zhao yi fu shi hen nan zhao yin wei</mandarin> like at at least for me jeans right <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> waist


match then <mandarin>那个腿:na ge tui</mandarin> don't match or the <mandarin>腿:tui</mandarin> match the waist don't match and then it's very like, frustrating ya, okay how about you


then I say first ah


err baking


actually right I want to ask then if you master already right, then <mandarin>你会不会觉得好像没有挑战:ni hui bu hui jue de hao xiang mei you tiao zhan</mandarin> already then you don't get that sense of achievement


through I think <mandarin>就是这样:jiu shi zhe yang</mandarin> lor want to give my friends my family and


but, upgraded the desert ah <mandarin>现在是做:xian zai shi zuo</mandarin> like cookies, , banana bread but <mandarin>如果可以做:ru guo ke yi zuo</mandarin> tiramisu creme brulee or


macarons <mandarin>那些很:nei xie hen</mandarin> Chio <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> you know got the mickey mouse minnie mouse those !wah! that one I think my friends will really like it, and it will make a great gift, ya


no not yet no


, now I think maybe a bit lame cause like that I know the sewing and baking and cooking maybe I'll say


I've already said dance I think dance right is quite hard to , really master especially for me cause I'm quite stiff, go their dance CCA and it's really fun because they really like just let loose but <mandarin>因为我很:yin wei wo hen</mandarin> self conscious so I


and I feel like <mandarin>我没有那个:wo mei you na ge</mandarin> skill or people will judge me then, I don't want to do it but, if I had the skill right oh my god man take me onto the dance floor ya


there's a movie goer


!wah!, take masters <mandarin>都三四年:dou san si nian</mandarin> maybe two two to four years or something to learn this skill so


I think, if I can master I think that's actually a very good idea <mandarin>可能你应该讲先:ke neng ni ying gai jiang xian</mandarin> then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I can steal this idea ya, so, I, actually I think there's a lot of skills that I want to learn but <mandarin>我喜欢的是那个:wo xi huan de shi na ge</mandarin> process you know like for example <mandarin>我要学:wo yao xue</mandarin> ukulele then


right you know I mean


okay okay <mandarin>跟你讲话:gen ni jiang hua</mandarin> Shiok okay bye


okay, can can let's go, can can let's go


a wish ah, eh actually hor I wish hor like some sometimes okay let's say, if you say one wish ah, I wish that I can <mandarin>活:huo</mandarin> like forever


like won't die, they all [orh] all like got things to see mah, then I want to go and like <mandarin>环游世界:huan you shi jie</mandarin> like go around the world like you know jackie Chan got the what around the world in eighty days those kind !wah! that one like quite interesting eh I find like if I if I live forever I got enough money ah I want to be like him like that like like !wah! he like quite quite <mandarin>有钱:you qian</mandarin> then can <mandarin>环游世界:huan you shi jie</mandarin> in eighty days also quite Shiok ah


you leh, then like like become a creator lah like talk err create all those what nonsense ah what three D you can you can see like the whole world how they go and like <mandarin>创新:chuang xin</mandarin> all these new things ah


like !wah! suddenly you see what three D printing next time what suddenly can come up with what four D printing not the <mandarin>马票:ma piao</mandarin> four D ah it's the the thing lah, ya so it's like quite quite quite interesting one actually so , I want to live forever then


what what if next time got what <mandarin>长生不老药:chang sheng bu lao yao</mandarin> I also don't mind taking ah cause quite interesting I can see I mean I will grow old ah, but then, you see all these things I think open your eyes ah <mandarin>大开眼界:da kai yan jie</mandarin> !wah! see here see there see anywhere


but if but but hor if let's say you got three wish eh what would you wish for, [orh] like the [orh] okay


(uh huh)


then the second one <mandarin>第二个:di er ge</mandarin> leh


world peace ah


my second one hor is that, I can be like, the best at something, like I don't know what thing lah but, at least when people say like you know


err when they mention about a particular skill right, then they think of like !wah! that delvin to #han quan# !wah! that one solid that guy like you know, if you think of facebook, the first thing you <mandarin>想到:xiang dao</mandarin> is like mark zuckerberg mah like he's damn good at doing facebook shit


but then ah, like if you you think about like err, like apple, think the the phone ah, then you think about it then you suddenly oh steve jobs because he's the man who created the whole apple <mandarin>的:di</mandarin> from the scratch mah I think hor to be like the best at something ah or like let's say football


you have like cristiano ronaldo messi this kind of like <mandarin>明星:ming xing</mandarin> right, I think they also work hard to get where they are, until like they are the best at what they do, so it's actually I want to be the best in something lah


ya lor that's my second one, my third one hor, !wah!, I wish hor, got more wish, , it's not like selfish or what lah but I mean everybody sure greedy one mah


three where got enough <mandarin>三个那里会够:san ge na li hui gou</mandarin> you confirm want <mandarin>更多的:geng duo de</mandarin> one what if you can have <mandarin>更多:geng duo</mandarin> why why won't you have <mandarin>更多:geng duo</mandarin> Tio Bo right


or ya maybe also lah, but sometimes ah cannot <mandarin>要求太高:yao qiu tai gao</mandarin> one, cause ah sometimes you <mandarin>要求太多:yao qiu tai duo</mandarin> then will have conflict, like you want you want this then you want that then suddenly like !wah! cannot clash damn Sud then like a bit wrong already


, then like make it like your own one


maybe like, come up with some new tech or some shit lah, ya, but actually quite interesting, like maybe create those what what ah those ah


those towels that can like heal your wounds or whatever one like you wrap the towel cause now towel only you wrap then !wah! like <mandarin>爽爽:shuang shuang</mandarin> only it's just to maybe stop the bleeding or or a bit only lah like <mandarin>一点点一点点:yi dian dian yi dian dian</mandarin> only but then ah if what let's say you create a towel that has like healing properties can what can like make you more <mandarin>健康:jian kang</mandarin> or whatever lah


then like, why not, right, and maybe the, towel got aloe vera heal your skin or whatever, mean somewhere along this line lah, and that's just a thought lah not exactly like I will do it or something maybe in the future I would lah


think ah a bit hard lah, now, I don't have the knowledge or the specialties eh to do to go into it, maybe work with some of the scientists next time all these all those who are <mandarin>超级歌科学家:chao ji ge ke xue jia</mandarin> or whatever


you leh wait what's your last wish


, ya lor


, okay okay this one ah this question ah, a bit more <mandarin>有趣:you qu</mandarin> to me a bit more more cool ah I would say


because ah they ask if you drop everything to follow your dreams right what will you risk but normally right if you think about it right people will say what would you want to do, if you think about it, if you drop everything to do what what


to, to follow your dreams mah, you know, ya what, and like if you want to drop everything what would you risk ah because everything you want to risk what mah


(mmhmm)


ya lor ya lor so it's like, maybe maybe the question, is, asking is what would you want to risk the most ah, like <mandarin>最多:zui duo</mandarin> one, because, I can let go my phone lah I can <mandarin>不要买电话不要买:bu yao mai dian hua bu yao mai</mandarin> computer or whatever


what what is the thing that you risk right and, it will hit you very hard one, ya but because of your dreams you are still willing to give it up


that's why I thought this question a bit, more, more <mandarin>不同:bu tong</mandarin> from the rest, I mean when when you say ya lah the question is a bit funny to everything then but would you risk it's like


you are already risking everything what, but then what is the one thing [orh], that you can <mandarin>死死:si si</mandarin> you want but you have to drop one, like like, (ugh)


maybe like let's say, to follow my dreams okay so let's say if I just now I say I want to be the best at something, but then hor, err, if I were to say drop everything right so it's like my family my my house or whatever I go to somewhere else to go and <mandarin>闯:chuang</mandarin> this new thing


the thing that I will risk the most, I would want the most but have to risk right is family lor, like my <mandarin>家庭:jia ting</mandarin> I don't want to, be away from my parents, like, I cannot imagine that one day if I really were to follow this dream ah


I have to sacrifice my parents, to go there because like family to me it's like


so it's like I don't want I I have to drop but I don't want to drop something like that


, (mmhmm), ya


ya, okay, can lah


okay lah then we move, we move on lah, will go to err next one is err, any usual unusual superpower what would it be, you know if you ever <mandarin>想过来:xiang guo lai</mandarin> if let's say one day you were had to have a superpower what would it be unusual one lah not like flying lah laser from the eye lah don't know what err err robot lah iron man kind lah then what <mandarin>打雷:da lei</mandarin> ah thor this kind of thing because unusual can be anything mah can be funny can be useless can be whatever mah


what if like the superpower is like, you can wipe herself dry in one second, then finish <mandarin>够了:gou le</mandarin> lor then you <mandarin>干:gan</mandarin> already and come out of the toilet unusual one lah can be funny one lah


maybe it's err, I would say err, build the furniture, in in in two seconds in like less than ten seconds then he built ten seconds, anyone want to build any furniture just can <mandarin>了可以:le ke yi</mandarin> go <mandarin>可以了:ke yi le</mandarin> go like that like I think quite interesting eh


like cause the , the the brain also needs some some, some brain power to go and process whatever design or whatever but if you can do it like within err ten seconds lah different designs within ten seconds eh actually can <mandarin>赚钱:zhuan qian</mandarin> one leh


then you just !wah! keep selling furniture furniture sell like hot cakes like that, ya, so quite interesting lah, very unusual mah like it can be my <mandarin>赚钱工具:zhuan qian gong ju</mandarin> also, that


like if you say [orh] I want to


so you thought of yours already or not, ya lah so I win ikea already lah or I go ikea


(mmhmm), [orh]


then your money like people one hour people one hour ten dollars you one hour like twenty thirty dollars !wah! also not bad leh that's quite good also


and sometimes hor you no one to talk to then you just one person out, , ya but I mean, you still have someone mah rather than you have no one to talk to


correct, like !wah! guess nothing to do then you just [orh] someone out, then <mandarin>刚好讲话:gang hao jiang hua</mandarin> a bit, then, okay lor come back , , like that lor, quite interesting mah


ya ya you want to play ball game I need five people then you sign one five, okay, ah


[orh] is this next question interesting cause ah last time in Gongshan have, the time if you found a time capsule from yourself ten years ago what would be inside, so last time ah err I not sure if you you know or not lah last time err Gongshang ah primary school


eh my <mandarin>年代:nian dai</mandarin> one lah Anita hor they go and put this time capsule inside, then they say ah after twelve years will open the time capsule, we'll see err, what is what what happen lah, then after that I I don't know whether they got open lah


!hannor! they they <mandarin>丢:diu</mandarin> they throw away or they don't know, edit lah, then, like I find it quite interesting lah, cause if you store something ah, like maybe you write a note to yourself, like then after that you store it somewhere in a time capsule


then after ten years you take it out then you read ah, we see whether, you got, like from what you want to achieve, so it's like, talking to a future you, we'll see whether like !wah!


have you have you done well enough, or like you <mandarin>对不起:dui bu qi</mandarin> your <mandarin>自己:zi ji</mandarin> your yourself, like to to be like !aiya! should have done more in these ten years or should have done less, but then ah if you think about it ah


sometimes ah when you are let's say, it depends on the age so you like let's say you're ten years old ah, you write ten years later <mandarin>十年后:shi nian hou</mandarin> hor, twenty years old at ten years old your maturity right is very different from when you're twenty, so ten years old you can you can write ten years later and say [orh] you know I want to have two thousand dollars in my bank


or whatever lah, but then ah twenty years old ah you will find that you know actually twenty maybe around eighteen or nineteen years old you will find that actually that it's quite easy to achieve so it's not you know like you don't really have that improvement err once you when you get older like maybe let's say maybe thirty or forty years old maybe thirty years old you haven't get married then forty years you make plans lor when you get married get house get car or whatever


so I think like , it's it's very <mandarin>不一样:bu yi yang</mandarin> lah like very <mandarin>不同:bu tong</mandarin> from, from from different ages, to to whatever aged ten years later lah


then it's like you cannot be manager at thirty what you still have to work maybe three months three years as an executive first before you climb as climb to wherever you want to be those kind of so I think this question ah what would be inside is


if I found a time capsule of me ten years ago right, inside right, will consist of, err, maybe a lot of my, my playing stuff all my games ah or whatever shit lah


ya all those games all the, mainly entertainment one lah cause I think ten years ago, the <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> ten years ago is like, very <mandarin>不同:bu tong</mandarin> eh, from whoever I am right now, ya


so last time I, so like mean sport sporty is sporty lah but I wasted a lot of time not


you leh you leh what if you you find your ten year capsule of yourself ten years ago


(mmhmm),


, hor, I remember you have the <mandarin>不凡的爱:bu fan de ai</mandarin> the the girl the haircut


the haircut, then calling you, ya


right like


[orh] can can can okay we move on lah we move on so like (ugh)


so like (ugh), what labels do you think you have been given by society, (ugh)


(mmhmm)


I think , you very, what was that word ah [orh] <mandarin>叛逆:pan ni</mandarin> ah then like don't want to study we always get like like <mandarin>班上最后一名:ban shang zui hou yi ming</mandarin> those kind


then like everybody label us as like !wah! those , like <mandarin>讲难听:jiang nan ting</mandarin> is like <mandarin>烂苹果:lan ping guo</mandarin> lah, but then, the good thing about it is there are I had teachers right that will never give up on us so even though we were given the labels like !wah! <mandarin>烂苹果不会读书没有用功读书懒惰:lan ping guo bu hui du shu mei you yong gong du shu lan duo</mandarin> this kind of labels right


my teachers err have never given up on us they always encouraged us say, you can always do better one even if it's five marks or ten marks, you it's an improvement it's an improvement then it's like <mandarin>有进步就是有进步:you jin bu jiu shi you jin bu</mandarin> lah


so like I'm very grateful for all these teachers lah, then I think one more thing is err, last time hor <mandarin>以前:yi qian</mandarin> got this err I don't know if your time have ah forgot already my time last time me and Korkor we have like EM one EM two EM three so I was I was in the EM two stream lah which is like so last time EM one is like <mandarin>准备:zhun bei</mandarin> go express one then EM two is like go express then the other <mandarin>一半:yi ban</mandarin> is go err normal acad one so I belong to the <mandarin>一半:yi ban</mandarin> that go to normal acad one


my grades were good enough to go into express right but then , I told myself that, it might be too stressed for me so I decided to choose five years so I consulted my teacher err me and me and mummy went to consult the the teacher lah


then, she <mandarin>跟我们讲:gen wo men jiang</mandarin> right like, actually five years right might not be a bad thing, in five years right I might learn more than four years because, the things that I go through is different lah


maybe I meet newer people in the five years and I learn more things about them, than going through four years in my secondary school I mean, if you look in that way it's a bit more positive lah but if you like <mandarin>往坏的方面想:wang huai de fang mian xiang</mandarin> right then it's like !walao! why you need to waste that one more extra year just to you know do do the same thing as what people do so like


err I took it positively lah so I decided to choose the five year route, then err I have never regretted it since ah mean it was a waste of one year waste of one year but the people that I've met


are are actually, how to say they're more more down to earth more responsible lah so I'm glad that I chose that route so I mean all this like <mandarin>烂苹果:lan ping guo</mandarin> or or whatever like <mandarin>不会读书没有用功懒惰:bu hui du shu mei you yong gong lan duo</mandarin> last time !wah!


I think it's just a label that you yourself need to get over, then you work hard then you must always like


you need to know that you need to always, like <mandarin>进步:jin bu</mandarin> to make yourself better, then you can be like better then other people make, label you as, so


my mentality is always, like keep on improving yourself, whether you are slow whether you are fast,


ya so, , okay okay so okay the next question right is actually quite interesting eh I like that topic, [orh], okay I like their topics


so it's like err what's the most memorable meal you've ever had and where did you have it


(uh huh), (mmhmm), [orh]


that one was really amazing, and I would love to go fare, but, then you need some membership, it's the what NUS the alumni one ah is it, oh okay interesting interesting


I think the most memorable meal hor I've ever had hor, was when I was in, melbourne <mandarin>我自己一个人:wo zi ji yi ge ren</mandarin> right, !wah! tell you that one ah is the best eh cause it's like he weather so nice ah


the weather so nice ah then ah like okay ah I mean because when in winter they very fast very fast they <mandarin>暗:an</mandarin> already mah like <mandarin>五点多:wu dian duo</mandarin> then they like <mandarin>天黑黑:tian hei hei</mandarin> those kind, so ah like


I was out alone ah because I was, then err I was out alone then dark already ah I suddenly <mandarin>肚子饿:du zi e</mandarin> want to eat something, I went to this italy err italian restaurant, then hor this this italian restaurant hor, very nice one they're they got chimney they got like their own <mandarin>火炭:huo tan</mandarin> !wah! got fire then very warm very warm feeling then when they they <mandarin>招待:zhao dai</mandarin> me right they <mandarin>招待:zhao dai</mandarin> me is like oh hi sir ah how are you err so err how's the weather outside so they like sort of like ask you ask you like err
