what makes you think they are in, they have, they are trying to increase the birth rate, I feel like it's, because isn't it because of the contraception like there's


the the knowledge on contraception and stuff is really lacking and then, the resources are lacking there that's why, there is, like, they don't have the knowledge to prevent


no entertainment, , that's a pretty heavy question to start


do you wanna ask me something, (mmhmm)


I guess because I'm in my year four, then, it's okay to have lessons online because most of <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> like skills or, , like practical stuff


we have went through it before so, we know what to do and, , like need more practice, but we still can cope and like mainly is more of


research so like you can still sit in front of computer, wake up, and, straight away, go for lesson lor online, what about you you have internship right


, noob


, I think I prefer face to face interaction with people so like, sometimes if you don't understand something then you can just look over to your friend and then like eh <mandarin>老师在讲什么:lao shi zai jiang shen me</mandarin> ah


what lah but at home it's just you yourself and you, then you cannot like look over at your friend and like oh, which part, or like discuss, then like there lacks this like human interaction


ya but I'm very bad at multitasking so I can't like look at my phone then, look at like hear the teacher talking at the same time it's very


I guess travelling wise and


like, err, like technically you have more time to sleep because <mandarin>你不用:ni bu yong</mandarin> travel then <mandarin>你不用这样早起来:ni bu yong zhe yang zao qi lai</mandarin> to prepare ah to <mandarin>吃饭:chi fan</mandarin> ah and stuff


so that's one thing but I feel like <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> preparation itself also help you prepare for the day, because sometimes now right if I got very early lessons in the morning I just, like literally wake up wash up and then


uh I will just sit in front of my computer lor, then it makes me feel like , am I really awake, ya like <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> brain <mandarin>还没有:hai mei you</mandarin> warm up I feel


I think initially at the start of circuit breaker right <mandarin>我们一直在家:wo men yi zhi zai jia</mandarin> then we start to cook and we start to like eat, at home then when I'm at home I'll go to the kitchen and open the fridge a lot more, then I will feel like snacking a lot more compared to when I'm outside


so, I got I think I I felt like I gain weight lah then I will feel like I want to go and exercise, which I did, run for a few


days, but after that it's like, I gave up lah like the fat life the fat life choose me


comparatively <mandarin>我不知道:wo bu zhi dao</mandarin> whether <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> crowd is more or less but, I feel like, because they are probably like too bored at home


and they got nothing to do so they like wanna go trekking lah want to go like uh exercise and, one of the perks of exercising is, okay lah maybe it's not a perk lah but, you don't have to wear your mask, like you're it's a justified activity to not wear your mask


uh while during the exercise or, even like, fast walking, correct or not


it's like you breathing your own air, , I think your your your specs will become foggy right, why will the mask be wet


okay lor, can I ask you the next question no you also


what's the craziest thing that has happened at a job you work at


(mmhmm), (mmhmm)


oh, okay


okay


isn't that very dangerous


dislocate ah, so how long did you work there, two months


with your friend, how much are you paid , per hour, or like basic or what


, bonus ah, , okay, what is something popular now that annoys you


, (mmhmm)


but are you sure it's a different day


I guess the person just wants to like remember his, working journey, or like really remember like, err, what he wear or what people he meet what's the environment around him what's the weather


(mmhmm)


then <mandarin>你知道他的:ni zhi dao ta de</mandarin> routine what isn't that better , if that's your friend lah


you just skip lah, ,


I see, you wanna ask me something, okay


I used to like Liho, but recently I, I'm trying this, no actually recently I fell in love with this, store call miss tea feel like their, milk tea the milk right is, I think different


actually I have one in front of me right now and then they always have like very funny quotes, or, like different names for the, for the drink name


but I don't know if it's related to the drink lah but probably just some idiom or, something, but I like the milk, taste and it's like I think it's a bit, cheaper than like, regular is it


because it's like three something but if like you buy something, elsewhere is probably like, like plain one is like four, okay lah got cheaper one lah but, generally around four dollars


what about you, (mmhmm)


you know some milk tea store, they I think they just go like NTUC and buy the carton of milk like Marigold or something or Meiji


then they will just pour in then like very waste money you know it's like you could have just gotten, it elsewhere I mean you can just gotten it from NTUC yourself what, the taste I think <mandarin>他们放:ta men fang</mandarin> like sugar then after that


they put what, they put some flavouring then after that like majority of <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> drink is milk


, okay


but honestly I feel milk tea is a bit overprice eh if I count the amount of money right I spend on milk tea, cause like I I think one week minimum, I'll buy at least one cup and the average price of one cup is about


three something, then if I spend, the money, no if I collate the money together it will probably be a very big sum at the end of the month, but just that it goes unnoticed


staple , oh my god


no, (mmhmm), I feel like <mandarin>那个是你:na ge shi ni</mandarin> [bah] <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> usually is just plain water is fine for me eh I I drink more like if I don't drink milk tea the other drinks that I will drink is probably like green tea lah


okay obviously not the traditional green tea the Pokka green tea or, , lemon tea if I'm at a fast food restaurant but, err ya that's if I eat fast food then generally I will drink plain water but you are different


you drink a lot of sweet drinks like, carbonated drinks, or drinks with a lot of sugar generally, and then you top it off with milk tea like you generally drink very little plain water leh


(mmhmm)


quite filling, no it's


packed with sugar leh, but I feel like hor when my like zero percent, it's a bit no point like the taste of <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> milk tea is totally different leh is like


it's like you might as well drink , like cold tea, that's the taste when, I try my friend's the zero zero percent sugar the bubble tea, it taste like cold tea and there's, it's just weird like I like my tea hot


I ever tried twenty five like, it's quite bad also so, in the end I stick, I stuck with like fifty


but actually


, okay, so I'll ask you one question, so I know that you can play, a couple of a music instruments


like guitar and drum so what is one music instrument right that, you wish you could, play, like other than what you could already play,


okay


okay, , I think, I have been interested in a couple of instruments before but like


like, very <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> pursue anything completely, when I was younger right uh there's this like chinese orchestra,


so err, I tried for uh I don't know how long exactly I tried lah but then, uh the teachers all that were very nice like they let me bring the instrument home I think <mandarin>他们要:ta men yao</mandarin> like <mandarin>栽培:zai pei</mandarin> next generation of


next generation of this chinese orchestra people cause <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> is like on the decline, but, I felt like it was very difficult because when I press the string right like my finger hurts a lot lah especially I think when I was younger like my fingers are smaller


then I have to press very hard, then I gave up, so after a while, I felt like piano was quite cool then I try to play piano, then I realise my fingers are too short, I ask my friend to teach me before buy it's


it's quite hard lah I think theory wise is also quite, uh demanding, yup


, , Yiruma lah , I think <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> generally <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> like <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> interested in any particular instrument


is like more like I find it oh it's quite cool to know how to play something ah, then I will try like okay what should I, learn then I, I will then I'll feel like okay lah a little bit interested in this so I want to try like


a bit a bit like that, !aiya!, I wish I can play game lor


ever since school started in august actually is still august now but, it's like less than a month but I'm very exhausted and, totally <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> time to play my game


at all because if I start one game hor, no matter I win or lose, I think I will still want to


like if I lose then I'm like oh no <mandarin>这场我输了:zhe chang wo shu le</mandarin> then, , I need to play one more and play until I win, or like if I win I'm like okay maybe !wah! it feels so good to win then like, maybe I'm on winning streak I should go again


ya but then I don't I don't play anymore lah


I feel like it's because I can't multitask so when I am playing I have to, play it wholeheartedly like if my father suddenly talk to me or my, or someone talk to me then I will I cannot, I cannot process


so like, , ya I don't know what I'm trying to say, I have no idea


I I thought ML is like, you generally you have to play with five people right no matter you play in groups of, it's more of like whether <mandarin>你认识那个人:ni ren shi na ge ren</mandarin> or not, so it's like <mandarin>五个人:wu ge ren</mandarin> mah it's five mah


[orh] you mean like if <mandarin>我喜欢一个人:wo xi huan yi ge ren</mandarin> join four strangers or, uh like Jio my friends to play together, , I guess, my friends like, especially if like hor


we all play different role then is like damn Shiok, cause you either like win together or die together, but like everyone has their own role mah then, like you will know what your friend is good at or something like if you play with strangers right


sometimes got hard carry, which is okay but then you you don't feel like you, you you fulfil your role but, then, other times, err like some of them are quite, noob


then, you will lose until very badly lah like you don't even know why you lose that kind like no no matter how hard you try you will still, it's still like not it's still against you lor, ya


(uh huh), , I guess <mandarin>你知道他的:ni zhi dao ta de</mandarin> strength and weakness like his playing style, then you can adjust mah but if it's a complete stranger you can't


like you don't know what's his strength you don't know what his weakness you you just go into the game blindly and, like, really to, face the unknown lor


oh, solo playing style


, , I think maybe because you are better at the game then you are like more particular but a lot of things


like, I don't like to play with strangers also because some of them like to scold people and I think you are one of them


what it affects your KDA


outcome, oh


the best, of your ability


one V one, (mmhmm)


you play as your solo


sounds like the same leh I cannot differentiate, but it's okay lah, I don't really understand the technical parts of it


god I hate that one , no what it's also, team what you always join like those


like every don't know what time six o'clock, some quest, but it's as a team mah


(mmhmm)


actually it looks like maple to me, , what's your best hero


ya but you don't choose them based on whether they are strong or not


, actually I feel like every game, like, so it's more of like what you face, like your enemy then <mandarin>你用什么东西去攻他还是你用什么东西去顶他:ni yong shen me dong xi qu gong ta hai shi ni yong shen me dong xi qu ding ta</mandarin> like <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> weakness


then <mandarin>你可能那一方面比较好:ni ke neng na yi fang mian bi jiao hao</mandarin> so you, win, or something when you like overpower him somehow, I'm not sure I haven't played that game


it looks super demanding because you have to log in, complete the quest at a certain fixed timing everyday


, but <mandarin>不是有:bu shi you</mandarin> timezone difference meh between different countries


oh,


but the event timing isn't it like, the same for everyone, so it doesn't matter which timezone what, like it will just happen right, ya but if like let's say the timezone they follow right then whichever timezone you are at is like the opposite


like, maybe it's six PM here but it's, six AM but the, the game six PM will still happen what so the maybe like the six AM you cannot make it, get what I mean, like the game follows a specific timezone right that


happens that the time event happens, so, like, okay


okay, I have no idea


it's like in the middle of the, [orh] okay, ya lah that's what I'm trying to say, so it's unfair to them


but it doesn't matter which server you're at what the event will just happen at a particular, [orh] so they try to cater to like a, a like acceptable like maybe <mandarin>放工时间:fang gong shi jian</mandarin> or like, [orh], !aiya! but asia also <mandarin>有一些:you yi xie</mandarin> time difference what


like plus minus is a few hours


, ya, okay


okay, I want to ask you one more question


uh how superstitious ah you,


(mmhmm)


, like do you believe, that you should, put your furniture in a particular way or like, need to <mandarin>向:xiang</mandarin> a certain direction, or like


I don't know, like lucky colours, that kind of thing, or like you know there's some rituals like you have to do on, like let's say <mandarin>你搬新家:ni ban xin jia</mandarin> then you have to roll a pineapple that kind of thing


even if it makes no sense


(uh huh), (mmhmm)


why, really


, but I don't feel like the pineapple can absorb I mean proportionate to the house


no, but, like as in I mean proportional to the house I don't think it's


really, have you really checked it before, it's not about doing it is about, the part where you say it's scientifically proven


isn't that a myth, no it's not common sense to me, excuse you


okay so the, (mmhmm)


okay I'm gonna go and check later but it doesn't make sense to me because right, if like that [orh] then we got toxins in the air mah in the surrounding mah then


so you plant the I mean you you grow the pineapple but you don't you don't eat it, but like it's harmful to eat it yes


ya ya, whatever


bro <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> general knowledge <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> high level leh, bro I don't believe that, I will go and, find later, !aiya! but I a bit lazy eh


, why, (hmm)


local food, actually our local food is not very local eh, it's like from everywhere


K like I mean I get what you mean, okay I like to eat uh carrot cake, I got funny story, of carrot cake though, then there was this one time I went to a cafe with my uncle


then err he gave me money to order lah cause like he don't know how to order, then I, I paid already I think it was like five dollars something ah then you know our coffeeshop <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> carrot cake is like maybe like three dollars four dollars depending on the size you buy


then I tell the so I bought carrot cake but you know it's like a cake like the Angmoh kind of cake, like slice of cake that kind, so that is like carrot flavoured then, he, ask me, how much then I told him like oh five something then he's like


five something so expensive what did you buy then I told him carrot cake then he tilt so bad he was like, then in the end right the carrot cake that <mandarin>他想:ta xiang</mandarin> and the carrot cake that I order is different


you know the, the carrot cake you buy at the coffee shop that kind, ya then it was like it's a joke


up till today, everytime we bring up it, it's like very funny, like, kind of have the same name, yup, what about you what's your favourite food


I knew it, so,


mean like more full


then do you think that chilli is important, in hokkien Mee or will you not like


like you know chicken rice people usually eat with chilli if not it's like very weird, the chilli is like


(mmhmm), okay


yeah tapi like luckily I got like direct bus ah I mean it's a long bus ride but it was a nice long bus rides


one eight seven, like forty minutes then like I was thinking to myself like shall I take a train or what then macam like


I don't want to like rush myself so I was just like okay never mind just take direct bus, one eight seven [kan] normally is the single deck right so, like there's no space right even if like the seat is very crowded


but this one I got like the double deck one, cause you always Grab here is it or you don't really have a purpose to come to Jurong


(uh huh), side lah, (mmhmm), so what you just have to take the train and then you take a bus or you still like you have to switch buses


some more peak hours right I cannot sia like there was once I worked at at like I think


newton or something then I have to keep like tukar tukar actually no like last year I at dhoby right and like my line is the green line then I have to keep like switching and stuff, like it was just tiring I was just more tired I dreaded going to school I don't mind being in school but then like I just dreaded being in like going to school


yeah I feel like I mean like I understand that we have to wear the mask and stuff tapi like , like my makeup gets smudged at the mask and all that


, (mmhmm), honestly yeah I can understand, what's your plan I mean like err I there was like I wanted to ask you about something like I had plans


the other day, but uh I forgot, to I mean like I had I wanted to do plans with you but then I forgot about it then after that I remembered, err like a few months ago and then like COVID happened and then I feel like it just took, way longer for me to like text you about it


it's okay, yeah


yeah I was supposed to go for like two concerts this year you know I was supposed to go for Yungblud and rex orange county tapi like COVID, begitu lah nak buat apa [kan], (mmhmm)


yeah like uh I also was supposed to travel a lot this year, then like, then like err I was supposed to like travel for a few countries and stuff but then like, I I just didn't have I mean because of COVID it didn't happen and also like


like, I was supposed to go I think like , you know the good vibes fest at Genting, yeah I was supposed to go there and I mean and I mean it was like my first, apparently like supposedly my ah first ah music festival lah kirakan so macam like excited [kan]


(mmhmm)


yeah Ramly burger at the side of the road oh my god I miss that you know it's always like, eat at night


(mmhmm),


oh yeah like that's really sad it's like those like side, of the road thingy right I had, a maid like who like lives in like she we still keep in contact with her after like, you know after she left indonesia, then like she sell err she her husband sold those like bakso cuts you know


and because of COVID cafe [dah] tutup [seh] then macam like we feel very bad because it's like, she's kind of like she lives in a kampung right then she just like gave birth and then like, from her husband then macam like baby tak ada duit then the other time, we called her during raya the baby tengah demam [seh]


but, yeah I mean like my we sent her some money lah like me and my


, I have an uncle that lives there like I remember like during, KL if they live in KL you have to stay in KL then after that like you like for raya you cannot balik kampung which is like


because for them it's like, their bandar is KL right so like their family members are all back in like Kampungs and stuff, so like they couldn't leave they just like stayed there


yeah that's not the case but I think I mean like I think it's also just because uh during like hari raya like that time, like it was like still not stable at all you know I mean it was like the same here lah we couldn't like leave anything, I mean we could not like leave the house or anything for them it's just like, they can't do anything I mean they from what I know it's like theirs more strict


but everybody still tries to get out, which is really bad you know what I heard though like there are people who, like try to leave by car right and then like there were like the police or something that dress up like pocong just for them to go home


yeah like you know the police or some volunteers lah you know macam they dress up macam pocong gitu habis just to like


yeah, , I think they did tried to do the same kat indonesia also during like the whole lock down thing but then, like honestly indonesians are not fazed by the


by like any sort of ghost


(hmm), but like okay lah I mean like it's still a big change in the life right, what do you mean you're not you don't you're not in school like I mean don't you have like


you don't need you no you don't need to go to campus is it,


how is the exam going to be conducted do you have to go to campus this time


(mmhmm), (mmhmm)


(hmm), it's all pakai laptop eh, like, like you pakai laptop then like it's just what like, in the classroom then it's like just like everybody has to social distance, oh


(mmhmm)


honestly I mean like, it's hard to be motivated at a time like this right then like most of my classes now since I'm like self studying and then like and stuff like that like it's not, physical so it's always just like online, so it's like like you said lah it's like same goes to you I guess it's like really hard to focus and then it's just like for me I work best with one to one


but like technically this is one to one but not like directly in front of me so it's like a bit, hard to focus but I think I'm okay it's like, since it's september eh september now right it's like, end of next month which is like like the exams is end of next month which is like super fast in my opinion


GCSE is I think is in England it's GCE here


yeah so but like they did, make amendments lah for the topics I guess cause is like, for example like the sec four topics right like some of them are redacted, removed and stuff because it's like they we don't have the time to like, they didn't have the time to like properly like teach us stuff


then like I know my POA paper they are removing a big, big question from like, I think supposedly a topic that was supposed to be like taught this year


actually I can do I mean like I'm not very good with numbers in general but like, I could do math better than I do POA like I, back then like I was so bad at it but like I'm just giving myself a shot cause, it's like I'm just trying to work for my future at this point, but


yeah I mean like, even if with the topics being redacted and stuff like, I think the bell curve is going to be higher which kind of is going to suck so


yeah that's like my second time taking it so it like really sucks I mean like, I hope they understand the whole situation and also like maybe in future like, next year when they're like you know the intake for like tertiary education I hope there will be more lenient on it because it's like we, everybody is having a bad year this year I feel


but I mean, I understand what you feel lah like I also cannot like focus at home because like I have like four siblings and I have a naggy mother if I'm being honest, so it's like


err tak tak tak tolong mak or something like that you know so I'm just like, you know I can never focus but then again like I'm better on my own, no matter the place like it doesn't have to be at home or anything


, only time will tell how we'll be like as marks you know in future, hopefully we're still friends by then , what were you doing yesterday, like


, (mmhmm)


yeah I mean like same I mean like I met


err Rifky in the morning because like, I told you [kan] like the day before I pergi err the malayan council, then err you know portion dia orang [kan] besar [kan] so like I couldn't finish it so I brought home, and then I tried eating like that night itself I tried eating it again and it's still so much so like


Rifky err I called Rifky in the morning I said like !hey! do you want food, like you know I cannot finish and I don't want to throw it away because like mahal [kan]


they were just doing their roundings ah but I didn't expect them to be like there that hour, but yeah I mean it was nothing, then after that like afterwards I just like stayed at home I didn't really do much, also then after that like at night I went to like jumpa kawan you know just to lepak also


like, late at night lah, I don't know there's this thing called the the rendang daging salai or something, like it was so it's super nice it's like , it taste like you know the kuah is sort of like rendang then with linguine with like scallops


very innovative in my opinion, really sedap lah it's like a taste of like you know you I feel like a lot of fusion foods don't really work out tapi for them is like for western and malay food to work it's like, it's nice


(mmhmm), yeah I mean like I'm not sure about rendang being the nicest but, I mean I've been there a few times and then like generally I feel like nothing there is, and yeah I mean like I recommend you to eat it but then it is a very big portion so that's one thing


and yeah I mean like I went to arab street like technically it was a sunday that I went there right, I kind of just don't really like going to these places in general in like, so macam especially with the whole COVID thing I pun like a bit paranoid you know there's like so many people


but it's okay lah I mean like I still like the atmosphere there lah it's just that it was like very hot and there were so many people so I got a bit like fussy, oh I ate with my family because it's like my it was my sister's birthday, then after that my sister like just requested that she wanted to eat there because like


ever since we tried there once like it became like our favorite place to eat


(mmhmm), yeah that's what I feel also like, cause like I don't mind like paying for that price cause like it's sedap you know and then like, they from my experience right whenever like we go there like I think


but yeah lah but I I think after COVID like they kind of cut down on it and stuff, but, I mean it is arab street lah everything there is like mahal and yeah it's a once in a while thing so


ah you get it lah, you know ah there's this place I like to eat also it's called indobowl, okay so like asides from indonesian food right they actually have this twist on like, ah Indomie then after that they have like for example like


side dishes and then they just infuse it together, it's a really nice concept honestly and it's really nice and the price is not so bad you know not as expensive as , like malayan council I mean like


a meal can go up to like eight to fifteen dollars for one it's not bad really


yeah basically then there's this ah I mean they have this platter thingy which I believe is, about forty dollars but it's meant to be shared but I tell you it's super nice and I don't know, I've always had good experiences with it I went there once and I kept going a few times it was just like not it's like the price point also not so bad you know


but it's just a bit leceh cause like arab street and some of like it's in the middle of the road


yeah actually same lah the other time when I was like you know because before COVID I had a job and then like, you know I could like treat myself to these kind of things like once a month at least, but now like ever since COVID I also have no money, and like


yeah so I've been trying to apply for jobs you know but I've been very access unsuccessful about it, what about you


the thing about that is they advertise it to make it sound really like attractive you know then okay to be fair like I tried to, uh applied for a lot also then like some a lot also never get back to me then some of them like, you know they mention things like for example like oh they never mentioned the pay like berapa or just like


oh you have to go through this course first and we won't pay you for it and stuff and then macam like, like is it worth like doing something like that I mean like as much as I'm desperate for a job also I'm just like is it still worth it


yeah and then it's like macam cause like sometimes like, they will say like oh we'll get back to you if we need you something like that in my opinion I feel like, because the waiting is very dreadful you know so I rather you just text me and say like I didn't get the job like


and like in the meantime at least I know, whether I should be applying for more jobs or I should like you know stop finding because like knowing I'll have the job or something, and yeah lah I mean like it's just, frustrating lah and then like you know these agents also sometimes they just, don't tell you the full truth then macam like I feel so cheated by it if I'm being honest


(mmhmm)


yeah I agree with that I mean like, I mean like I've worked a few jobs and stuff and then like you know so far I've been successful at getting it so like, this really hurts my heart that I've been so I've been rejected so many times, but and also like in a time like this you know like, everybody needs something but at the same time I understand why it's hard to hire people but at the same


time everybody's also broke so like, I don't know lah hopefully we'll get a job soon lah hopefully


actually ah I also under like over underestimated the fact that you know like COVID, just like outside people right and then after that there are people like singaporeans that got it then suddenly like


there was a spike and all that and it got like I was thinking to myself like okay this like whole ah, thing is not gonna die it's not going to, like go away any time soon, but I thought like okay lah like lama lama pun maybe by the end of august or something but look it's september and it's still the same thing


and at most apa apa boleh makan kat luar [jer] tapi still need to wear mask and then like I'm just like, I like I also did a lot of online shopping I also did a lot like, Grab delivery and stuff because then I mean like Grab, I ordered Grab cause like, I was just so lazy to cook like it was so hard to be productive during circuit breaker


then all I did was just like, order food and order a lot of things online so I thought like maybe after circuit breaker I'll also get a job but, I didn't know it was still going to be hard, yeah


(hmm),


then it's like they, like they prioritize so much about being like you know like, they prioritise so much about their free speech and then you know their rights as like you know doing this and that, but it's more of just like, you know you're like okay yeah you have your rights but at the same time like


look at the situation lah like you not using your mask and stuff like that like okay you want to die that's your problem but then don't, be hard on other people you know there are like people who are like you know auto immune you know which are more prone to the virus and stuff like that and, if it hits them it will be like ten times harder on them as well like you know average person


so yeah I mean, then like the other time also like I was watching the news, like cause like, err they were err the leading, doctor or scientist of, the whole like COVID situation in, the US right they were I think explaining to donald trump saying that


oh if you leave if you like you know stay out in the hot or the sun it will like you know, kill the bacteria of like the COVID faster, so like on surface you know like technically it can be passed through surfaces right but if it's a hot or if you sanitize it and stuff it will like die


so that stupid idiot of a president cakap [kan] like, like I don't know whether like how he read it or something but he was saying like, oh maybe uh we can look into like injecting ourselves with sanitizers with bleach and stuff like there were like you know


like the president cakap lah and then the next day, really ada orang ni [seh] like actually drank bleach and stuff, hoping to not get the uh virus then I'm like thinking to myself just like how are you, how is it possible that you even entered politics you know, like from what I heard right


like when he was making the speech, the doctor was just like staring at him like you know thinking like you know just like, why did I get myself into this into this, yeah, and then like it was really bad to the point that you know like mayors of different states, had to like


even tweet it out and say like you know, I can't believe I need to say this but please do not, drink detergent or like don't drink sanitizers or cleaning products


tapi macam like a bit, I don't know ah cause I feel like, that this like donald trump like macam dia punya priorities is just not, the people like he's so I guess business forward, to the point that he was like more focused on, like the economy and stuff like


that I mean I get it lah like the economy is like important and stuff but then like, you can't have an economy if you don't have people right, so is like I think he was briefed and I watched this TikTok somewhere that he was briefed, about the whole COVID situation, way like in like january like before he was


like before it like it it wouldn't really like stepped into, the US err the US or like the just the western world in general, then like, he only took action like during may, you know then ah before that like I was watching like patriot act or something right then he was


there was this like whole like cause like the, it started spreading through like beef, industries and stuff like that because like, they didn't err they didn't let, the uh the workers like not, like you know social distance and stuff like that and then they were like


and then like, there's this like act I forgot like what, it's called but it's like, you, can mass produce stuff, in times of like crisis or war for example like when there's a war the act, then like the , president can uh enable this act so that you know they can mass produce like maybe like


metals and stuff like, war planes and stuff like that so I don't know why but it mass him, enabled that for the beef industry, which was so bad cause like you know like it was already tengah COVID, and then like I don't know why he decided to do it for you know then he was saying like cause


, most of the things are like you know like they are running out of food of something like that, something like that and plus like the cows, because of COVID like, they're all like, unattended because of the thingy but like the thing is like he put an act on that and not on like, for example like masks and like medical supplies because like


uh most medical supplies were from China and stuff and then they were like you know, there wasn't a shipment at that point of time but then in the US have their own manufacturers but the thing is that, I don't know why it wasn't, acted on that and then for a moment there wasn't enough like, supplies for the medical team back in the US


so I feel so macam kasihan for them lah that they have such a bad president like this, and then also like with the whole like drinking bleach thing like it's a common sense [kan] apparently common sense isn't not, common at all you know like so kasihan !huh!


I don't know dinosaur, oh okay that is so stupid


what's his name


!hey! that's not bad I mean like no offence lah but for an average melayu you know it's, okay lah like you know you cannot expect much from orang melayu lah honestly sorry but yeah


yeah lah I mean like you put in effort also right so it's like then like, for them like to not, but yeah I mean like how's your time I mean like how how long have you been on OkCupid,


yeah I mean I used to be on OkCupid also and then I received like the, funniest things I also I don't feel like I'm so picky also lah but then like yeah those like, Yo and boring one like okay lah maybe I close one eye if you are good looking but like, you I don't know I mean like you want to like capture somebody's attention lah like


okay err there was ah, this person said, uh what did the okay cause like, what did err what did the drummer name his daughters


yeah, so like you know my name is anna right so it's like, uh the answer is anna one anna two, anna one two three four


, (hmm), yeah I mean like I I mean like I don't know how he, like got it maybe like it's a typical joke but then like it only works for people with the name anna I mean like how often do you know


of a girl named anna right, then also like I don't know that got me started talking, to him you know he was like really interesting and stuff but like I think it didn't really move on from there because like you know dating apps, you don't really move on that far


literally I was on all like I was on Tinder Bumble OkCupid because I was so bored during circuit breaker, oh okay so Bumble right, basically right for example like, okay as like


like for example if I uh if a guy like I swipe right to either like guys or girls, and for example like, if it's a guy the guy cannot text first, like it's always the girl that has to like initiate dulu ah


if you are the first one to swipe then like you haven't like, matched yet right then you don't have to start the conversation but if you are the one who swipes later and, you get the match right you have to be the one who starts a conversation and there's a time limit for you, like for example like there's


from the second you match ada like, uh I mean err for you to text then the second you text, the person has twenty four hours to respond then from then there's just no timer, it's a very interesting concept actually


no I think it's macam like concept baru because macam like typically it's always like the guys that have to like, create a like you know an intro or like you know they are the ones that have like, start a conversation but this time it's like the, it's a reverse role so it forces you to want to text people


which is interesting lah but honestly I find like Bumble has like more good looking guys, I feel like not the typical like you know, like wipey mat melayu sort of things like you'll actually find like, I don't know cause like not a lot of people use Bumble compared to OkCupid and Tinder, so macam


yeah lah like, err there's I find more like foreigners there and stuff tapi now I don't know lah I mean like cause, [dah], [dah] [dah] like COVID eh so I don't know how many foreigners are still left in singapore


yeah I tried K Fry but okay honestly, maybe I had my expectations too high or something or maybe, I have like an like an idea of how it tastes in my head, it was a bit disappointing eh, but maybe I mean like maybe you'll enjoy maybe I'll enjoy it but maybe I just wouldn't put, like it's just not as nice as I thought it would be


but ah there's this thing called like a rice ball or something they mix it with like, sushi and like eh not sushi sorry , like rice seaweed and like different stuff that one was nice but then like, would I go there for the chicken again I'm not sure, but like, the vibes is nice if I'm being honest and it's


okay lah for malaysia standard it's slightly pricey , (mmhmm), (hmm)


no, you caught me at salted egg, I want to try the Din Tai Fung, cause like Din Tai Fung sana [kan] halal right so like I want to give it a try but like


never got the chance to like I normally every year always naik KL like with my family, it just became like an unknown tradition then this year tak dapat pergi it feels so weird you know cause like, , normally when I go to KL I get very like jelak because it's like there's not really much to do besides like you know chill


and just like you know go shopping and stuff, this year tak dapat pergi it's just like I want to go back, so bad you know I want to see family enjoy the cheap food, then sometimes I like to like you know just make a little trip to JB like at night, and then like you know just


have fun lah you know cause like, I have friends now who, have motorcycles, it's fun it's fun


yeah I love pepper lunch okay I accidentally tried it in singapore before cause like, I thought halal tapi tak halal then after that I tried in malaysia and like I'm just like I'm so in love I can't believe this is not halal in singapore, yeah but didn't did like the last time I think the last time I went to KL didn't like we see each other by accident


it was like at KLCC or something right


, yeah it was so funny I remember I waved at you and then my family all just like turned around just like, (oo) who is that why do you have friends I'm like no


but I was from a wedding tu I like, I came in like my kebaya so it's kind of funny but then at the same time like I think it's kind of normal, I mean it was fun uh I mean like err I think at the point of time I was at, a wedding near KLCC right but then like, me and my cousins all nak cabut because like


we just didn't have the social battery to like you know like, just have like uh, to communicate with like our other uh relatives cause this is like a bit of like extended family it's like my dad's, cousins so it's like rapat but


but yeah cool lah then after Starbucks we like went to the Apple store, like then my uh my cousin bought like a macbook there which is like cheaper you know apparently, yeah then after that like just nice lah like he just bought everything there cause he was like starting school also


(hmm)


(mmhmm), yeah I think I get you I mean okay honestly I'm not like the biggest fan of like


told my parents I said like yeah I'm not going to go anymore tapi I do enjoy if it's like , my family members you know I really miss it too


then you talking about the biryani like I think it's always a star of the show right then , yeah no my aunt's cousin, like from her other side then like we, just I just decided to go lah because like macam I was I I know her what


err an indian muslim guy and the food was so good like, the biryani was just like next level, and yeah I kind of miss it like you know like it's also like free food right, so like tak payah makan for the rest of the day, and then like sometimes they always like kasi kita bawa balik then like got the ayam masak merah then the nasi minyak and all that


I love it, ah


yeah yeah yeah for me it's like, then like rendang and ayam masak merah that is like the three I mean that's like the staples I mean then maybe like, I don't know, like from ah you know ikan tiga rasa like you know the crispy fish and stuff like that


other than that I feel like what else is not like why wouldn't there be biryani and stuff like that's so weird, yes oh my god like, I mean it's it's stated in the name already you know it has to be there


okay but I remember some the other time like I had an aunt, who like got married like during like the second week of raya and I feel like, okay lah I mean like for for me for for you like you want to do anything like, you know it's your wedding right go ahead but I very pantang you know cause I feel like I'm from a


very big family then like I always need to finish like my visiting and stuff like that, then like to have a wedding macam like no offence ah tapi macam like spoil [seh]


there's such thing, then might as well don't do a big wedding right just kahwin like ROM or something you know


like your focuses are wrong [seh] but, I mean like why why do people do it buat penat [jer] cause like normally like, people are just more tired during ramadhan you know and then like, you know people want to like you know


wedding would really spoil that I don't know how that works, ah tapi I, ah I think recently they uh naikkan to maybe I think fifty


, that's what I thought also like at first cause like, I think about it eh it's like, I'm also like the first child right so macam I feel like I understand my parents point macam dia nak you know show us off or something


you know but at the end of the day like I mean like


have a reception afterwards then like have a bigger honeymoon right it's always better,


(hmm), (hmm), for me like, cause like I come my parents uh my grandparents are originally like from like malacca


you know so macam like a lot of like the kampung kampung roots are still in within my family, so macam like a lot of things I do is still very traditional like personally I would still want that whole, you know macam gantry thing like you know you have to like fight your way to get in to see the bride and then like the whole


I don't know for for me I guess a tradition, like the tradition I would want to omit out is just it being very big and with people I don't know, or like but at the end of the day it's just like I'm I mean like it's


if I were to get married in future you know it's like I pengantin apa like it's like I will be pengantin once in my life only what so macam like , to make it like stand out okay lah maybe I'm a bit narcissistic also I just want it to be like that wedding that people will never forget you know and I want ice cream


(hmm), actually I don't want to I don't want do it under the block though cause personally I just feel like panas cause like


I'm just not a fan of that maybe at most like you know, see see at least got like err got aircond then you know, like you can still house like a lot of people and stuff and also like I'm pretty sure there's a playground nearby so like budak kecil all can like run around, yeah I don't know I'm like everytime I go like weddings or something I'm always like in my head like


planning my own wedding like okay how is this going to pan out and stuff


(oo) !ee!, is it the one with eddie murphy, is it,


it's okay man like I've been thinking about my like future since I was like, since I was like you know really young too like eleven you know like I have a name from my, first daughter you know I mean like this sounds super geli and it's so merepek cause like considering I'm only like ninety right but like


yeah I mean I have err I have names for like maybe my future children then like uh , my first child I plan it to I plan for it to be like luna Malika, I haven't thought of like a guy's name but pretty sure I like the name Maliki, and I don't know I like the name like


Ayla like A Y L A you know because I feel like, ah it's such a nice name you know it's like a unique but like not so hard to pronounce name


I feel especially with the fact that you know you you're just at home alone and then you don't really think much, it happens you know like for me is like I already picture what kind of house I want to have and stuff like where I want it to be located and stuff, like you know like in a singaporean like you know setting lah obviously like


but as much as I want to have like a, five storey bungalow something like, I'm pretty sure it's possible here but also like I I need to hustle way too much I mean way too hard to get there


(mmhmm), sometimes I think about it also like, isn't it like for me like I think if it's like better for me to just my migrate because it's like


you know macam like considering like the financial and stuff like that like is it like worth, you know having everything but then I think again like all my family is here, then after with the whole COVID situation like so many like governments just like you know all the problems just came up, as much as I feel like it's a bad thing that but it's so ah it's also like a good thing that I feel like you know like the problems are being addressed but yeah mean like


for now at least I feel like, I'll just stay here, for the time being if not then, I'm oh I mean I'll just pack up and leave


yeah I mean , I mean I don't understand ah for me is like I've always wanted to go overseas also and study but like, singaporeans there's banyak asians then like you know the whole like Kiasu thing going on


and, like you know it's just very competitive like in within the asian culture, so I think to myself just like you know okay lah then mat salleh at least I know I got chance to be the top right tapi like


go europe or something you know with like a whole different language like I want to learn a new language and stuff but then I thought about it lah like, uh like you know it's like very like new like you [dah] biasa with the whole family gathering then I thought about it like


cause I did early childhood before and then like, to be in the environment with like your culture and stuff will like, it's better lah cause like the child will grow up like you know understanding it better so like for me if I'm like let's just say I move to europe, my it's going to be hard for my child to learn like


basically like three languages like for example like if I don't speak the language, like of that european country let's just say it's Spain right then like my child have to learn to like, learn malay learn it's like english and also like, spanish and also like learn the culture there then they won't have like any ties to like


singapore cause like you know they never grew up in singapore which is like a bit sad lah cause it's like you know it is my culture and then I want to bring it down also so, I guess like, staying in singapore is always like the best option and plus like you know being a singaporeans there's always like benefits, with like the whole like healthcare and stuff like you know


like housing healthcare, as much as it's expensive it's still like beneficial, (mmhmm)


, yeah oh my same lah cause like I my my mum's malay is like super good like apparently she got like A one or something back in


secondary school and then she became a malay teacher once and then she was saying ah like, oh my god like none of my children can speak malay and she was like especially you you know, like I've also been called like celup lah like back in secondary school like I couldn't do malay at all you know, and then like my mum was saying lah like


ah my mum was saying saying like ah like, in future she wants to take care of my children and for the main purpose is because


for sure cannot help them with their malay, (mmhmm)


, , oh


no lah I feel like it's also important cause macam like it's just like your self identity juga apa then like, I feel like at least in singapore also macam like the malay community is like, rapidly macam the language is dying you know I feel like, personally because macam like okay lah like if you were to, make me like you know sit in a malay class in malay in bahasa err in malaysia or something I feel like even the top scorer of my malay class


would not be able to do as well, because it's like, it's just different lah macam like melayu sini the standard macam lower you know then macam a lot of people like just, [dah] tak tahu pakai like they don't really speak, then also macam like some of them like don't even know how to cakap you know, so yeah lah then like macam a lot of like little like ah traditional things are like dying too


like macam like anyam ketupat you know macam like, my family ah bila raya we still make it a thing lah macam every year we still do it you know and it's like, I'm not very good at it but it's like you know I like the whole, idea that we still do it then like it kind of just like it surprised me that a lot of my friends like don't


like you know they don't know how to do it, and then like sometimes also like sometimes they tell me like you know they don't even celebrate like the first day or like they don't celebrate at all then I'm like


even though like growing up like you know, holidays just like I mean like hari raya and all like becomes like less enjoyable I always enjoy getting ready you know like, the whole you know buat kuih raya and like ayam ketupat and like just like getting already getting the house like raya ready


the fact that I know that there are malay people in this day and age like who don't do it just makes me so sad


oh it's okay Jurong and woodlands not very near also what


oh what bus was it ah, (oo) actually that's damn long eh I can't imagine like penat eh confirm


not bad I don't think I ever took one eight seven before sia, like the only bus I will take, to go Jurong is eh, I don't know honestly I don't know, yeah I mean I go to school like I study in Jurong right okay technically not Jurong lah Clementi


but usually like I take MRT and bus, but then there isn't like a direct bus to my school so that kind of sucks yeah, ah yeah correct I take the train from Marsiling


to Clementi then I take one eight four, yeah it's pretty tiring honestly everytime I sit I get so annoyed because like there's so many people on the bus and they're all just squeezing to get a seat (ugh)


yeah especially like before COVID right at least now with COVID everyone like social distance and the bus isn't so crowded right but like, before COVID oh my god it was a mess eh berapa banyak orang inside the bus, honestly like I also now everytime I went to school, I'm kind of glad now that it's not so crowded but I do hate the fact that COVID exists


I feel like oh it's just so tiring you take more energy trying to breathe then like, walking around or running around


yeah honestly like our friendship is damn low maintenance ah like we took, we haven't been out with each other in like what a year, like satu tahun that is so long you know, like honestly the last time we went out that was memorable was us going to LANY, and that was fun I'm quite upset that this year there's no more concerts


, yeah itu pasal ah nak buat apa right it's so sad [seh] like the amount of opportunities that we missed this year, all because of COVID is really damn irritating especially when it comes to like


school oh yeah you know I was supposed to go on a holiday in june to New Zealand, like dude that's one of the best countries, ever eh like honestly but we couldn't even go and the thing is


!hey! loser


same oh my god last time I always go JB to makan sushi and the paling best right is like when malam malam kita go driving then we go and eat Ramly burger, oh my god I miss malaysia Ramly burger


yeah like the vibes at night is just different like last time ah when me and my dad, when we went there when me and my whole family used to go JB right then my dad will always go to this one particular guy his name was like Azan or something , but his burgers sedap gila oh my god actually like the authentic malaysian experience and I love it but like now


we can't even go there and the thing is we don't even know if he still has a business which is so sad


some people like they their only form of income is like all these businesses, but honestly if you think about it right if I stay in malaysia I'll be having so much fun right now, because like malaysia is so big you can already travel from Jurong Jurong eh


#johor bahru# to KL and where can we go in singapore Jurong to Tampines, like what the heck so boring


!huh! tak best [seh], I thought like the best part of living in malaysia would be because like you can go from one place to another, but that's not the case


, what, what so the police like, dress up as a pocong to scare them


(hmm)


actually that's quite kelakar sia like honestly can you imagine malam malam tengah drive


yeah honestly indonesians have the funniest humour from what I see on Twitter they always say like, when usually people have the worst humour like if somebody go to their house and scare them they would like laugh and stuff right, like it's like okay kalau keluar terus kena ah arrested


cause the COVID situation is not so bad but I still miss school


like (ugh) it's so hard to focus in class you know because it's all online, so it's like you always think that you have assignments due when actually you don't then like stress gila tahu honestly


it's like you would think that kalau belajar online lagi senang [kan] but no that's really not the truth it's really harder but the thing I'm grateful is like there isn't as many exams, but I have one exam coming this thursday and I'm so scared cause I have barely studied


yeah I was thinking that exams would be online which would suck, but luckily for me tak it's like, you must go to campus but you have like a lot of precautions to follow you must like, key in your temperature like on the school website lah then like you must at the entrance you must show like this specific lanyard thing that you must have to enter the campus and all then ah


our exam dulu kat like hall besar besar [kan] sekarang it's all just in class, so it's like one class per classroom then the exam is there, then honestly to me like tak ada vibes ah like there's no, exam like seriousness of an exam so it's very hard for me to focus like I had an exam a few


like two weeks ago, and like honestly susah gila nak focus because like, I don't know just not used to it you know like wearing a mask and then it's just so uncomfortable


ah tak my exam is all written, for me ah yeah because, I don't know my course don't really have a lot to do with like online stuff or like, next sem we're going to have macam coding classes but this sem so far tak ada ah most of it is just like theory memorizing all so it's all on paper, so honestly I cannot imagine having the exam on laptop cause I think that would be super stressful but


I don't know I guess you have to experience to know how is your O level preparation going


eh but I thought they extended GCSE tak eh, I I don't know if I read the article correctly I never really read lah I just saw the headlines it's like eh GCSE extended, oh right that's true oh I forgot okay anyway


best apa honestly I hated POA like, ah fun fact I dropped POA in sec three, cause I sucked at POA I was so bad at it, and the thing is it's ironic cause you know how they say malays can't do math right, yeah but then I did well for maths but I can't do well for POA which is damn funny honestly


actually that's true I wonder is like because all my friends right they say they are more motivated at home, so it's always I feel like macam I'm the only person yang cannot focus at home but honestly I really can't you know but all my friends say like, oh it's so fun because no one disturb you or force you to do homework that kind of thing like it's very free and easy for them but like I tak rasa honestly


like for me like susah gila lah to focus at home like to juggle between like your life, and your school life is hard because you are in the same place what at least last time like


so hopefully the bell curve isn't higher only everyone is faces situation as you like the oh I cannot study I'm stress kind of thing, but I don't know I wouldn't want to go through O levels ever again


oh typical like mak melayu right honestly like they are all so naggy I think it's like, they are just born with it and I'm scared that bila kita jadi mak kita pun sama honestly I don't know


I always tell myself like oh I'm going to be better I really hope so, and like, yeah, !hais! I just want COVID to be over it has caused so many problems


hopefully, oh well yesterday ah like I said I always stay at home right so basically yesterday I was staying at home but mostly I was studying, , since I'm so used to HBL right I stopped writing physical notes, and I started using like photoshop of my laptop to like tulis notes and stuff


and like honestly I find that it helps me to be more productive, so in a way I think, I did learn like a bit from this COVID nineteen situation bukan lah banyak sangat but, it did help me overall like, realise what studying methods help me more


so that's basically what I did yesterday how about you,


a'ah


malayan council eh what you eat there


oh I only makan there like once before then I got try macam their chicken it's ironic cause I don't like chicken, honestly I don't know I haven't gone to like arab street in so long and I just like


I miss the atmosphere that it was before COVID you know


oh who did you makan ah malayan council with, oh man low key nak makan [seh]


like honestly but like you said mahal gila like I still remember the, first time we ever went we were like so surprised by the prices like, malayan council legit like damn expensive but I think like, it's like quite serata yeah it's like the


price of the food and the taste of the food and the quality it's all matches up quite well lah it's just that, I don't know I just feel like it's a food that you eat every once in a while you know


no I've never tried before what does it what does it eh what does it sell


!wow! that one sounds nice eh honestly I love Indomie


Indomie is so good must be you can't go wrong with Maggi so basically like indobowl just sells like, let's just say how to say high quality indomie is it


yeah I always sesat at arab street honestly like, but I think like recently I went there like, more often so now I think I won't get sesat as much hopefully, well honestly


I've been thinking of all these nice food to makan but guess what I can't makan cause I'm broke I can't find a job


same susah gila nak cari kerja serious like super fed up you know I'm like so fustrated, like I keep using this app called fast jobs and I like tried to find all these different different, positions and the thing is they always say like oh urgent hiring, that kind of thing so like obviously semua orang apply apa [kan]


then bila apply then dia orang tak get back then macam tak faham [seh] like, you say that it's urgent you say that you need people but why do you like not get back to people I don't understand, I think I applied for over like what twenty jobs already and like most didn't get back to me, honestly my last few, like jobs that I've applied for was like Starbucks Coffee Bean like to be honest


like nanti ramai gila customers habis nanti got like fussy fussy people all but hopefully like, if I do get the job I get better at it you know that kind of thing how about you what kind of jobs did you apply for


like dia orang macam sengaja right like they never like properly advertise their job scope, they never properly advertise what will be in need for the job, then only when you contact them then they will be like oh you have to do this nak kena buat itu lah nak kena buat ini lah, I myself don't like it also


like job postings and all but it's like okay, look through every single one I apply for like ten, then like all ten never get back to me like serious tak faham [seh], why do you post the job if like you're not going to get back to people you know I know you're busy and all but the least you can do is like


I don't know just make it easier for people to apply especially now macam COVID nineteen


yeah like honestly the tunggu like untuk tunggu like for them to get back to you that's like the worst part lah honestly, it's like I applied for Bath and Body Works recently, then they said like we'll get back to you in a week if you're shortlisted, then like fikir fikir about it right it's like, why if I'm shortlisted what if I don't get the job can you at least tell me also because like


you say a week right then any time in between that week pun you can call me you can like text me tell me I got the job, but then it's just like really just waiting and waiting and waiting and obviously you don't want to like, make things harder for yourself by applying for other jobs or waiting for another job to get back to you, so I understand your frustration lah like do I apply for this


but like what if the other job accepts me then I cannot take this job, and then it will just make their lives harder, but they don't even think about us they don't even tell us, like honestly I would prefer getting a you're rejected letter rather than just like nothing at all you know, I rather like also know why I didn't get the job that kind of thing it would be nice to know


so that like you can improve yourself and stuff like that but , I don't know how the working world works cause I'm only eighteen but I guess we'll see in the future


hopefully honestly like during this like you know like circuit breaker period, I honestly ordered a lot of things online because like honestly I thought about it I thought like, okay once COVID ends I can get a job and my holidays start it will be so easy for me to like, pay back all the money that I wasted during the holidays


but no I got it all wrong I thought COVID, COVID is still here and it's like, so it's like all these new clothes that I wear for what honestly


like I buy it for what I can't even like pakai to keluar and it's like so heart breaking,


yeah honestly like when the virus started in china I was like damn that is disgusting, I was thinking that oh they already contained it what like it was from Wuhan and like they already closed up Wuhan and everything and I thought that it wouldn't like suddenly, have this kind of spike and all then like when it terjadi macam terperanjat you know


like everything happened so fast like we were just living our life as per normal, like of course it won't hit singapore, like honestly I think in our heads we all thought that it would be like SARS because SARS was very contained in asia tapi tak [seh]


like tiba tiba USA ada berapa banyak cases, like honestly banyak gila and if you look at the US I'm so glad I don't live there because they are so like, how to say ungrateful for their position they are the biggest they are like


one of the biggest country in the world but like, their management is so bad like look at their president it's a stupid idiot named donald trump, and honestly like dia serious tak guna ah honestly he doesn't even do much for his country, and it's like now I see all these TikTok videos of like people who don't want to wear masks and like tak faham [seh] like


I understand wearing mask is susah lah but like you have to do it for the sake of your safety and other people also what right


(hmm)


yeah but if you think about it macam kasihan [seh] orang orang kat US because like in the end, you will look up your president what right, because technically like so many people voted him in to the office and all and like, if you think about it all these old people who like they don't know much about the virus cause it's something like baru to them right


then maybe they will just dengar what he say because in the end he's president what he is the person who does everything and has the right of way, and it's like, the mayors even have to step in just to uh make up for his mistakes like he should know that as a president, he has a lot of power and like everything he says will be taken seriously right everybody no matter how dumb or stupid like they are


it's just like normal to listen to your president what because they are like the head like in power and all so yeah


(mmhmm)


(hmm), yeah exactly something that the president don't have and it's like so merepek sia you think about it it's like, there are still people who are saying that they will vote him for the next election when he has already


proven so many times that he is inadequate for the country, like why you so dumb (ugh) anyway let's stop talking about this stupid idiot, eh guess who texted me, this guy from like okay okay so, so like you know I'm super bored during school and all, it's like now I'm kind of having holidays because my exam only like on thursday lepas tu habis [kan]


so then like I started using OkCupid, then like I talked to a bunch of guys lah because I think I'm quite pretty , then like this guy, he's not very honestly he's like err tall, then like okay lah like good looking not bad not bad you know, then he damn funny sia then he ask me like stupid stupid malay jokes okay okay wait let me tell you one malay joke


ah kejap eh


yeah it's stupid right but like he was one of the first few matches that like make me laugh you know, so he like macam like got my attention ah then like !wah! he not bad sia honestly, he's like eighteen years old which is my age honestly actually I don't really date guys my age ah, but tak apa ah maybe this kind guy will be the exception [kan]


so like yeah honestly we clicked, not bad sia so far like I don't know I'm quite, interested, err oh his name is Bukhari, and like honestly that's a super like old school name like honestly I feel like my


but like I don't know he's not bad and he's tall okay ah not like, super super tinggi but like one seven five not bad right,


uh yeah I'm thinking about Hudy who is one six three CM that stupid idiot of a boy, honestly like I'm so upset that he kind of ghosted me, like okay lah I'm not like super upset about it ah tapi macam sakit hati ah like because like, okay I wouldn't say that we were vibing but at least like I was talking to him and he was talking to me and it's just


actually


I only made the account semalam so it's like what, one day and a few hours honestly if I, think I swipe a lot already sia and I think like my taste, not so picky so like I got like


then like honestly most of them are quite interesting but like most of them just say, hi, yo, like boring [seh] like can you be more interesting please


drummer name his daughters, I don't know, eh that's quite funny eh I like how he made a joke with your name inside


it's like very personalized so macam you tahu macam he don't use it on other girls, you know that kind of thing yeah


facts honestly but , extra bosan now cause of like COVID nineteen, so they like put in more effort to like talk to everybody and stuff


eh wait wait wait wait how is Bumble


oh, like tak pernah dengar [seh] a dating app like this like OkCupid is so chill what it's like, swipe then if it works out on each other then match


why got like twenty four hour expiry date all so funny eh


yeah honestly and I'm so sad about malaysia extending their MCO thing, I know we talked about it just now but you just reminded me cause I don't know how many foreigners there are


and I really just want to go to malaysia I want to eat my korean barbeque


ah [seh] honestly kita selalu pergi malaysia because like the prices are cheaper right especially with the, three to one conversion rate, ah [seh] I just miss going there lah I remember like everytime we go KL we will try this place called dolly #dim sum# have you tried before, it's sedap gila like I don't even like #dim sum#


but they have the salted egg yolk #dim sum# and it's like, it's perfect I swear


yeah like dulu kita [kan] selalu pergi malaysia like my family will go KL to like, in one day I think we will makan at like what three different restaurants and three different places, like konon konon macam food tester ah try out like all the food in malaysia and


but like honestly like best gila [seh] that experience it's like, like you say everything that is not halal in singapore is halal in like malaysia, so it makes my life so much easier like you know every time I go KL like kena makan pepper lunch, oh my god I love pepper lunch so much and I miss pepper lunch


yeah it was damn funny right it was like I think I texted you like we were texting right saying that we were also at the same place or something oh no, I think it's like I saw your story then you saw my story kita dua kat KL [kan] then you like ask me where I going then like you said oh I going there also then I remember it was so funny


like I was on the fourth floor you were like on the third floor at Starbucks [kan]


best apa imagine being able to go to an Apple store and like just !woo! spend all your money on the stuff honestly good life, why I yeah you talking about wedding reminds me, I rindu [seh] like I used to love going weddings you know why, cause I want to makan nasi biryani , like honestly I just miss the wedding food and the atmosphere it's so fun like cause you know I'm in a mixed family right


so usually our wedding is like for the, ah like my mum, ah side she loves taking like she loves the indian culture, so it's like yeah we're not mixed per say, but like because like our ancestors like got some


some blood and all so like we also like proclaim lah but actually we're not mixed, full malay like you, so our weddings we'll make sure that we eat nasi biryani then we will make sure that it's the most


our weddings will always have like the nicest nasi biryani and honestly I just miss all that, I was so lucky that like my aunt she managed to get married this year, in february like right before like COVID became a worser disaster


(mmhmm)


yeah honestly you know like I saw this one guy you know a son of a peach on Instagram, he always does macam poll on Instagram and then got one time he tanya which is a must have for your wedding, then people didn't vote nasi biryani I was so sad you know I felt like it was a betrayer because, every wedding has to have nasi briyani like


when I think of wedding I think of nasi biryani right


yeah and another thing that I feel like kena ada is sambal goreng pengantin right


, macam macam pelik also [pe] like hari raya is a holiday by itself you should enjoy it totally [pe] like why would you want your wedding in the middle


, right honestly I didn't know it was a thing but apparently it is eh, but like how pelik is that like puasa is like meant for


exactly it's just weird honestly now thinking about it sekarang COVID, err wedding kena ada apa apa dua puluh orang [jer] [kan], I think, you know like honestly you know how malay families macam selalu kena ada wedding besar besar [kan] honestly I wouldn't mind


like I've always been telling myself I don't want a wedding yang besar besar because, okay you think about it you eh you're the pengantin right then like penat gila [seh] you must tukar outfit berapa banyak kali throughout the day


yeah I think yang paling penting is like the wedding it's like you do for yourself, you know how like malay families always say like oh it's for your image for our reputation as a family that's not how you should see it [pe] in the end, like you're marrying someone is like your happiness so everything should go the way that you want it to go you know, I also like in the future like when I get married my mom and dad will be like cool to like break the traditional stereotype and let me do what like I am happy with ah


(hmm), actually that's true actually that would be goals ah like, yeah you did for yourself but then everyone remembers you as like the bride yang cantik yang berseri you know that kind of thing yeah honestly


yeah it's like a half half thing lah need to see whether my husband in the future kaya tak kidding


then like in the future they ended up having the wedding at the same place at the same day and that thing cause they plan together [kan]


I, think no got anne hathaway I remember got anne hathaway but it was a good movie ah then I always think about it like


since dulu I've always wanted to do like a, wedding book but I find it like a bit tacky lah like imagine if like somebody find then they will judge me you know like she's like eighteen and she has a wedding book


yeah honestly like, to me when I think about the future I always want like to be special you know like, I don't think being special is important but I think like just being unique not normal macam lagi best ah to me, I haven't thought of children's names yet but I'm pretty sure like that phase will happen soon cause I'm like so bosan now


yeah like in singapore macam susah gila nak like get all these things ah honestly cause


okay you compare like uh prices of cars in singapore to prices of cars in US, you can get a car in US for like what, like forty thousand and then in singapore the same car will cost like hundred thousand something with C, COE, so it's like I don't know ah like you think about it you can have all these dreams and aspirations but like


so much to think about in the future and I'm honestly very stressed


yeah I also think about it like err my dream die do right is to belajar in Australia, like I remember I went to Australia and I was in sec one then after that we went to where is it gold coast, then we got to pass by like this, err university university of queensland


then like from then I told myself like oh I'm going to work really hard to like get into a local like an overseas uni, but actually like if you fikir about it lah actually it's better if you get into a like local uni because technically they are better, but I just feel like the experiences you gain bila like you go overseas and all is just very different you know


then like I don't know I also pun nak migrate but then if you think macam sayang right cause everyone is here then nanti raya macam mana raya will be, so lonely because now we're so used to like the big family gathering, so it's like really a lot of to think about I just hope that like, in the future you now is now is with like global warming and all


like I'm just scared that like, is there even any world to live for


yeah that's true that's why like I'm always grateful that I live in, singapore but I don't know it's really just a lot to think about in the future and like what is important to you, but I can't imagine now like sekarang [jer] [dah] susah for me to speak malay then imagine like when I have a child in the future, I don't how I'm going to teach that child malay


like you know dulu all my family members call me celup because they say like I always speak english even though I should be speaking malay that kind of thing, then when I got into higher malay in secondary school semua orang terperanjat macam !huh!


we're not so good at malay right but we're not that kind yang want to totally forget about our language, you know I'll still want my children to learn and all cause I feel like it's important, later become like you know the swastika language is it, like is it swastika, I forgot what not ah swahili


or something yeah honestly right that language has become obsolete, like dulu like in malay class my cikgu always say like you want melayu to become obsolete is it, how all of you tak tahu cakap melayu semua then like I think about it like true [seh] like, oh sanskrit sanskrit, al like it's really gone


like nobody even speaks it anymore nobody knows how to write it and that kind of thing so like, how can a language just disappear macam sedih [kan] like you grew up with it and then like suddenly one day you see nobody speaking malay, so it's like yeah thinking about that kind of scary, so I will try my best to improve my malay sekarang I don't know


yeah honestly <malay>faham</malay> [ah] like <malay>hari raya</malay> is very like


hi what's your name, , hi <mandarin>我是:wo shi</mandarin> kimberly !wah! your name <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> interesting eh


!wow!, !wah! <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> !wow! my name, but summer then


!huh! wait , !wow! so summer #lin yu# !wah!


your mum <mandarin>很有趣:hen you qu</mandarin> , ya so actually I'm curious <mandarin>如果你有三个愿望:ru guo ni you san ge yuan wang</mandarin> what would you wish for, ya


so I think number one although, I value <mandarin>钱:qian</mandarin> a lot


like how am I supposed to survive if I've got no money, so


I also want to be like that you know , lucifer is about this, come to earth then


essentially <mandarin>然后变成谈恋爱这种东西:ran hou bian cheng tan lian ai zhe zhong dong xi</mandarin> ya that's why people will watch right, ya anyway so then


my third wish, would be maybe, talking to your dog cause I actually have a dog at home it's a golden retriever


ya super cute so whenever I get home it'll just like run up to hug me and bark and all ya so fluffy and all


what's your three wishes


[orh] <mandarin>它要:ta yao</mandarin> attack <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> is it


you just get whatever you like, yes, so second wish


oh, ,


<mandarin>那个是全部人的愿望:na ge shi quan bu ren de yuan wang</mandarin> , ah nice, I would risk


be a, writer and or or like an actress just something


so everybody's gonna end up in a same corporate office and then, I think <mandarin>我也是:wo ye shi</mandarin> lah probably ya


all the restrictions ya, if you have any <mandarin>特别的超能力:te bie de chao neng li</mandarin> what would it be


(hmm), !woo! sneaky little snake , oh


ya, oh ya you are


!wah! <mandarin>你想到很:ni xiang dao hen</mandarin> narrow you know if it's <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> right if I had that kind of teleportation ability, I would teleport all the way to italy to get <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> favourite <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> gelato, and then I will go and eat <mandarin>那些意大利面很好吃你有吃过吗你有吃过意大利面:na xie yi da li mian hen hao chi ni you chi guo ma ni you chi guo yi da li mian</mandarin> in italy


ya spaghetti pasta


but not exactly ya


so that's great I would use that to my advantage, (ppc), , ya


ya, okay, so, if you found a time capsule from yourself of ten years ago


ten years old, exactly one decade, ya


, ya, , ya


ya eh <mandarin>我我有一个:wo wo you yi ge</mandarin> uh scar eh from <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> ya, I think one year right, no not it's like everyday <mandarin>会有一个新同学会:hui you yi ge xin tong xue hui</mandarin> fall down, so until to the point where <mandarin>那个校长:na ge xiao zhang</mandarin> had enough of it and was just like okay done you cannot <mandarin>玩捉迷藏:wan zhuo mi cang</mandarin> in the


parade square anymore then now is damn quiet, ya, , ya then <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> sad but you know last time <mandarin>真的很:zhen de hen</mandarin> scary you know I was just in primary school


ha, oh ya <mandarin>是什么:shi shen me</mandarin> uh, , you can blow into it the inflatable <mandarin>气球:qi qiu</mandarin> kind of


you know that kind, ya ya ya so I think it'll be one of those lor right <mandarin>你也是有玩:ni ye shi you wan</mandarin> hor, I I think at one point it was very popular or I ya


ya, oh oh oh <mandarin>我记得我记得:wo ji de wo ji de</mandarin> yes yes


thirty cents <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> forty cents <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> fifty cents around there lah <mandarin>不会很贵:bu hui hen gui</mandarin> lah <mandarin>但是对我来说是有一点贵因为我们也不是有很有钱:dan shi dui wo lai shuo shi you yi dian gui yin wei wo men ye bu shi you hen you qian</mandarin> hor


so ex I remember one fishball noodle was like seventy cents eh, ya now, I think secondary school then it became two dollars


then after that JC <mandarin>记得:ji de</mandarin> is like, eh JC then what ah, JC a snack was two dollars lah but, maybe the food maybe three, ya then <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> is even worse uh


!wah! <mandarin>有时候超过十块真的没有钱所以我们非常的:you shi hou chao guo shi kuai zhen de mei you qian suo yi wo men fei chang de</mandarin>


what labels do you think, err <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> have been given by


(ppc), ya


(ppc), oh


, oh that sucks


!wah! <mandarin>他们很多:ta men hen duo</mandarin> low EQ eh


no what's that


[orh], (ppc)


, (ppc), !wah! ya I think we need to understand, but then it's like everybody just thinks oh why are you so sensitive you know they don't understand the true consequence of it


, ya, ya


what label have I I think, not exactly label but then, if you are talking about <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> chinese new year <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> gathering right, then <mandarin>他们问的就是:ta men wen de jiu shi</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>你几几时有男朋友:ni ji ji shi you nan peng you</mandarin> , uh <mandarin>为什么还没有男朋友几岁了:wei shen me hai mei you nan peng you ji sui le</mandarin>


they're gonna ask oh <mandarin>你们几时生孩子我不要孩子怎么办不行吗:ni men ji shi sheng hai zi wo bu yao hai zi zen me ban bu xing ma</mandarin> , ah <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> all these people just, keep imposing their views onto you all these relatives, so irritating


why you don't wanna conform right ya <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> lor, ya, I mean if you're financially stable <mandarin>如果你有金钱的话那:ru guo ni you jin qian de hua na</mandarin> money makes the world go smile go round so I guess if you can afford to and you want to then


sure but, most of the time <mandarin>如果你这样小就有孩子你:ru guo ni zhe yang xiao jiu you hai zi ni</mandarin> emotionally <mandarin>不会这样:bu hui zhe yang</mandarin> stable, <mandarin>不应该:bu ying gai</mandarin> ah <mandarin>如果你自己不:ru guo ni zi ji bu</mandarin> ready <mandarin>就不应该但是有些人:jiu bu ying gai dan shi you xie ren</mandarin> emotionally mature uh <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> fast but then <mandarin>如果他们:ru guo ta men</mandarin> okay <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> okay lor


ya, ah ya lah, ya confirm <mandarin>的这些人很:de zhe xie ren hen</mandarin> judgemental <mandarin>的他们:de ta men</mandarin> nothing better to do <mandarin>有些:you xie</mandarin> mah


ya it's like living vicariously through people because <mandarin>他们自己的:ta men zi ji de</mandarin> life don't have anything going on, ya, so we just have to not take it to heart I guess


(ppc) so, I can remember mine so I was at gold coast


ah gold coast was the best, best holiday I ever had


first meal that <mandarin>我们吃:wo men chi</mandarin> right is, fish and chips okay I know fish and chips <mandarin>听起来很:ting qi lai hen</mandarin> mediocre but <mandarin>一点都不:yi dian dou bu</mandarin> mediocre, the fish and chips were so tasty it was so fresh and the


I don't know how to say the fish you can tell that it's super fresh and crisp and the chips, K lah chips singapore also got good chips ah I guess it's more of the fish and there was this small little salad at the side, ya I remember eddie stealing a bit of my fries


ya cause he's vegetarian <mandarin>吃素的人就是这样:chi su de ren jiu shi zhe yang</mandarin> , ya, so <mandarin>你呢:ni ne</mandarin> what was your most memorable meal, (ppc)


!wow!, ya so positive right, !aww! that's so sweet


, (mmhmm)


because <mandarin>广东:guang dong</mandarin> porridge right I I know the difference is


ya ya it's like those canton paradise crystal jade <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> standard you know, ah


!huh! so strange <mandarin>所以他没有煮过麻辣:suo yi ta mei you zhu guo ma la</mandarin> ah , !aiyo!


what a <mandarin>可惜:ke xi</mandarin> eh, , ah <mandarin>我也是我们喜欢加那个:wo ye shi wo men xi huan jia na ge</mandarin> broccoli <mandarin>加那个:jia na ge</mandarin> golden mushrooms


ah, !wah! <mandarin>一年:yi nian</mandarin> ah <mandarin>你真的很有:ni zhen de hen you</mandarin> dedication [orh],


!whoa! !whoa!


<mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> satisfied mah , oh, so that's nice, so what is the one thing you wish was free, how about everything


oh but I thought if <mandarin>比较少人:bi jiao shao ren</mandarin> then cause the demand drop


then it will ya econs cause the demand drop then like, it will be cheaper not meh isn't that, grab <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> grab <mandarin>不是这样的:bu shi zhe yang de</mandarin> meh


then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> just blame on COVID then <mandarin>我们就:wo men jiu</mandarin> okay ah , so <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> grab <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> lah <mandarin>你很会花钱:ni hen hui hua qian</mandarin> is it


K, oh, you know I once read this book


, it was a four part, uh four part book and then, the first part it was


so basically it's a kind of society where, when <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> turn eighteen right then <mandarin>每个人会有:mei ge ren hui you</mandarin> plastic surgery, to from ugly become pretty, ya it's fiction ya then when you are in <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> pretty society right


I think in this society it was , a very utopian <mandarin>那种感觉:na zhong gan jue</mandarin> like you don't really have to work so I'm thinking that could be what's gonna happen cause


choose whatever clothes you wanna wear [orh]


and ya whatever whatever thing you want to do whatever food you want to eat and everything is free so ya so like what you say is what will we do to tougher <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> delight, right it'll probably be like that (ppc), (ppc), just


no you don't even have to shop you know you know in the book it's literally, it's not like, you <mandarin>用金钱:yong jin qian</mandarin> like <mandarin>换那些东西:huan na xie dong xi</mandarin> is you order from this white colour wall


ya, ya


<mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> uh how is it a question right, I guess not just studying [orh] working, ya that will be us next time <mandarin>如果我们拿那种:ru guo wo men na na zhong</mandarin> nine to five job


ya, ya, and plus personally, I just feel like <mandarin>如果你做一个东西你做很久了你一定会很:ru guo ni zuo yi ge dong xi ni zuo hen jiu le ni yi ding hui hen</mandarin> bored what


then if you are bored and like kind of forced to because it's like, you either work or if not <mandarin>你没有钱:ni mei you qian</mandarin> is this quite sian differently <mandarin>不想讨厌:bu xiang tao yan</mandarin> #yun nan# especially we work so long this can ya eight hours cannot lah, then <mandarin>就是你不想讨厌也难:jiu shi ni bu xiang tao yan ye nan</mandarin>


ya eight hours cannot lah, feel like we should probably have a four day work week


oh four day work week ah, , really, (ppc)


!wah!


can afford it you know


ya maybe you know like this !wah! one dollar eh even even AJ you, even, ya or like even, uh meridian also not really, not really


, what is the pettiest reason ah, I guess


it would be, if they, comment on, me say maybe like, oh you're


then then <mandarin>我会觉得:wo hui jue de</mandarin> like my efforts go down the drain then I'll be a little irked


, ya


(hmm), I think right now


technology


ya damn cool did you watch the show ocean's eight, I love it right ya what what eight ball nine ball thing, ya they move by I don't know how many CM degree !wah! damn cool


and she does it with such ease so I'm just thinking you know, use that to work as a living actually not bad, oh ya lah , ya


so another thing would be, maybe to cook, cause you know if <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> cook well !wah!, the way to people's hearts is their stomach all your friends will love you


if we get one , ya then actually my mom cooks well also she always like to cook, all the spaghetti all the different kind of spaghetti that's why I think <mandarin>我从小我就是她的:wo cong xiao wo jiu shi ta de</mandarin> spaghetti <mandarin>长大所以我现在很喜欢那些意大利面:zhang da suo yi wo xian zai hen xi huan na xie yi da li mian</mandarin> stuff and like


or or pizza also ya my I think my dad try to make pizza once, and it it actually turn out well so, ya see it wasn't those kind of, uh cold storage preheat <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> pizza although <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> also kind of nice


ya but my my dad make one was he own self hand stretch, ya, like <mandarin>我们那个:wo men na ge</mandarin> cafe <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> [orh] hand stretched <mandarin>然后放进去:ran hou fang jin qu</mandarin> ya <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> cafe pizza <mandarin>很好吃:hen hao chi</mandarin> [orh]


, ya ya <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> [orh], K then third skill would be, dress well


I guess oh I know up-cycling


she will I remember she she <mandarin>有那种:you na zhong</mandarin> youtube videos then <mandarin>她会教你怎么做:ta hui jiao ni zen me zuo</mandarin> it's not just showing you the end product so I thought it was really good then, one day I hope to maybe follow one of her videos from start to end


then <mandarin>可以做自己的东西:ke yi zuo zi ji de dong xi</mandarin> lor <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> one of her video she, uh she <mandarin>拿一个:na yi ge</mandarin> gucci bag


ya <mandarin>她买那个:ta mai na ge</mandarin> gucci bag <mandarin>然后她:ran hou ta</mandarin> transform it into a two piece, ya <mandarin>然后看起来很好看但是如果你在新加坡:ran hou kan qi lai hen hao kan dan shi ru guo ni zai xin jia po</mandarin> like like <mandarin>穿:chuan</mandarin> then people will judge you like mad, so ya it I I think it's for those kind of countries lah


but still it'll be nice to try one day [orh], ya (ppc), ya so have you tried any of these up-cycling stuff


it's not it's not croquette oh crochet oh ya !oops!


oh oh oh ya, oh that's so cool


, , oh


ya <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> my I I I buy online from, shopee right <mandarin>然后我的那个:ran hou wo de na ge</mandarin> shape <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> weird, then uh <mandarin>不用:bu yong</mandarin> ah but then again it's like, four dollar so, I also don't know <mandarin>我可以:wo ke yi</mandarin> expect what right


ya so what three skills for you, oh


oh ya


, you drew a guy, you drew who, , oh


like you put, ,


ya, maybe in the dreams <mandarin>他们梦出来的:ta men meng chu lai de</mandarin> , so


makes sense, ya, , now is like cook instant noodles <mandarin>对吗:dui ma</mandarin>


or pancake, I can , there was this one time my pancake <mandarin>里面我还放:li mian wo hai fang</mandarin> banana so it was damn cool ya like, like pancake banana and it tasted !oof! it tasted great


ya but the pancake is just like <mandarin>从那从那些:cong na cong na xie</mandarin> uh, pancake mix ya , eh but <mandarin>你还是要自己:ni hai shi yao zi ji</mandarin> pour on <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> frying pan so <mandarin>还是有一点难度:hai shi you yi dian nan du</mandarin> okay


yes, , oh <mandarin>所以你去:suo yi ni qu</mandarin> learn spanish <mandarin>对吗:dui ma</mandarin> ya ya ya but not fluent lah but shouldn't chair ah maybe end of the same yes


not yet, yes, ah


ya then <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> fit in there then you get lesser chance of getting <mandarin>被骗:bei pian</mandarin> you know, cause ya ya especially, okay lah not gonna be racist but like ya some countries they just, they just see you not local <mandarin>然后:ran hou</mandarin> they just anyhow quote <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> price so actually ah if <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> speak <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> local language it helps you save money so it all comes down to


ya,


(hmm), now I think


then also got like, this


ya actually <mandarin>如果:ru guo</mandarin> genre wise, romance <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> hor


oh, ah,


ya oh then <mandarin>你有没有看那个:ni you mei you kan na ge</mandarin> how I met your mother, hor <mandarin>很好:hen hao</mandarin> [orh], ya


and I guess like, , [orh] okay okay <mandarin>我不:wo bu</mandarin> spoil


ya okay moving on , , tell a story that is funny in retrospect but may not have been funny at the time


ya right, ya, okay lah I know I know of


a friend, so she was, taking, send each other, Unglam lah


send <mandarin>去一个:qu yi ge</mandarin> senior, then <mandarin>她很:ta hen</mandarin> panic eh <mandarin>她:ta</mandarin> almost cry you know, ya then, but then now we think about it !aiya! whatever lah <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> senior we don't even talk to that senior anymore


ya, (ppc), oh ya, okay sure go


ya, !wow! ,


entertaining amusing ,


wait, I think so


oh okay, oh , I mean the world so small <mandarin>每每个人都:mei mei ge ren dou</mandarin> kind of <mandarin>认识:ren shi</mandarin> each other hor, ya


I think, that there will be, world war three, because, ya I mean, now is like <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> conflict <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> then got what


black lives black lives matter movement, so, I think <mandarin>越来越很多:yue lai yue hen duo</mandarin> unrest lah then, it's either that or pandemic [orh]


, ya that's why we never know right


ya I want to but I'm scared you don't know how fast they are how big they are exactly, in comparison to you, and what if you step out right if it's <mandarin>一种:yi zhong</mandarin> time portal <mandarin>你你出去你不可以回去:ni ni chu qu ni bu ke yi hui qu</mandarin> then like <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> Jialat


ya , so would you rather fight one horse sized, otter or a hundred otter sized horses


ya because a hundred is like, overwhelming eh, one at least <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> focus on one but hundred, !wah! confirm die one, ya ya ya


or like a hundred bees you know actually <mandarin>我很怕蜜蜂:wo hen pa mi feng</mandarin> eh, you know my brother Kena stung by a <mandarin>蜜蜂:mi feng</mandarin> before, cause when we were playing downstairs <mandarin>很久以前:hen jiu yi qian</mandarin> ah then, like last time we we like to play <mandarin>捉迷藏:zhuo mi cang</mandarin> that kind of thing what


then we play downstairs our house then , but playground in a <mandarin>公园:gong yuan</mandarin> kind, then there was a beehive, then <mandarin>我们很:wo men hen</mandarin> young and dumb and stupid lah then we like to


we we were like okay we race through this area which has a beehive there, ya then <mandarin>我们用那个:wo men yong na ge</mandarin> bicycle then I think cause my house only got <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> bicycle then my brother I let him use or something, then I just like [orh] run ah cause I don't feel like having a bicycle I think


then I run halfway then, like I I think the bicycle caught on my my crocs, my slipper ya then after that it just slip off


plucking it out of the nape of his neck


in his skin, ya, but thanks to him then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> never got stung before lah , ya not bad sia


(ppc), so you are dining at a new restaurant called karma, (oo) this is an interesting one, so it doesn't have a menu


you will be served what will you be served, reminds me of <mandarin>那:na</mandarin> ya reminds me of <mandarin>那种理解问答:na zhong li jie wen da</mandarin> you know when we were young <mandarin>小明是一个怎么样的人:xiao ming shi yi ge zen me yang de ren</mandarin>


K lah I mean, just, no I don't think, food food I think it's just a metaphor like <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> just think of it in terms of karma lor like


more of <mandarin>好:hao</mandarin> or more of <mandarin>坏:huai</mandarin> will you go to heaven or hell


, just <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> it's okay ,


then there's this saying that says, and yet we want to selfishly benefit, from doing bad things, so because of this then there's this


like discrepancy as to how <mandarin>我们应该:wo men ying gai</mandarin> act lah, so I guess, err, we need to, we may think that we are going to do, we are going to act in a certain way


but <mandarin>因为一个东西叫做:yin wei yi ge dong xi jiao zuo</mandarin> temporal distance, once uh we are actually put in that situation <mandarin>我们可能不会:wo men ke neng bu hui</mandarin> act in that way at all, so I guess, what determines of whether <mandarin>你真的是好还是真的是坏:ni zhen de shi hao hai shi zhen de shi huai</mandarin> is


when you close that temporal distance when you're put in that situation, then <mandarin>你真的会:ni zhen de hui</mandarin> act, I guess one very basic


solution uh not solution one uh, one idea would be one example that they gave would be, would you


would you leave it


you will take and bring to the lost and found area, plus maybe in this scenario you can know that there'll be, no consequences whatsoever


ya what would you do, , I think right for me, I can't be bothered to


but at the same time I feel bad just using it so I'll leave it there, ya, then it's not good or bad lor I mean


so like, where if if everybody right they find something lost like they find an item that <mandarin>不是不属于他们的:bu shi bu shu yu ta men de</mandarin> then they just leave it there


like where you went today what so you will just go back and you will find it so, actually it kind of works lah I guess, oh oh oh that is a thing that they taught in my class called moral justification so


uh sometimes ya so sometimes right, when <mandarin>我们要做一件坏事:wo men yao zuo yi jian huai shi</mandarin> like in this case taking the I pad


anyway it's going to is is just as detrimental to <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> owner so it doesn't matter, so, moral justification bad
