so the person that go and apply and sign off ah is just a #tua pek gong#, it's just someone with a license in singapore and they don't do the job one they will never ever come and do the job one, they will just sign their name and then they have to pay him certain money to sign


but end of the day the person who is really doing it is just the malaysian without licensing, and they may not doing to according to what EMA requires or BCA requires for all the renovation is the same no matter which ID you go because in singapore there is no people


with this, licensing and qualification that willing to do this kind of job, at least there is a seggregation mah but totally is unrelated you know is like in fact a lot of electrical job goes


unknown to the HDB or the BCA is just everybody do reno oh <mandarin>你拉线这样子你拉你拉:ni la xian zhe yang zi ni la ni la</mandarin> but <mandarin>都是那种没有:dou shi na zhong mei you</mandarin> license to <mandarin>拉的他们:la de ta men</mandarin> just <mandarin>拉:la</mandarin> Liao then <mandarin>你住进去也没有人来:ni zhu jin qu yi mei you ren lai</mandarin> check


the job market does not match up to the regulatory requirement


ya then <mandarin>你要可能这样子做你随便拉一条电就要五六千:ni yao ke neng zhe yang zi zuo ni sui bian la yi tiao dian jiu yao wu liu qian</mandarin> Liao ten times the price ya <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor but who can afford nobody mah <mandarin>人家只可以:ren jia zhi ke yi</mandarin> afford <mandarin>那种几百块的:na zhong ji bai kuai de</mandarin> job <mandarin>几百块的:ji bai kuai de</mandarin> job <mandarin>就是那种:jiu shi na zhong</mandarin> malaysian <mandarin>来:lai</mandarin> lor


then <mandarin>他们哪里有:ta men na li you</mandarin> licensing <mandarin>你看每个驾:ni kan mei ge jia</mandarin> #jiu hu# <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> van <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> #jiu hu# <mandarin>的那个面包车小小辆的:de na ge mian bao che xiao xiao liang de</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>里面:li mian</mandarin> trunking wire


or <mandarin>整辆车载榴莲给他们进来不用换:zheng liang che zai liu lian gei ta men jin lai bu yong huan</mandarin> tax <mandarin>不用什么的:bu yong shen me de</mandarin> leh obviously these people drive in to do work


err the government can look at it better lah if you really want to be tight you want things to be


done properly you need to enforce the regulatory lor then you also have to take note about all these err unlicensed and informal people coming here to work customs side must also enforce lah like we if we carry tools of trade into malaysia


the customs want to stop us and tax us for everything already the tools and all they will tax us, but in singapore they drive in with !wah! tools of trade goods ah singapore customs #kam ji bak boh# don't care then if we drive a car one very simple example why today


singapore has no requirement that your car need a third brake light is malaysia, so end up the whole singapore all the cars have a third brake light because so that when you go malaysia there is no issue


whatever lah maybe someone there got benefit for the light vendor lah I don't know then suddenly one day tell you need third brake light lah so if we don't have right


you try to cross the custom you straightaway slapped with fine by the JPJ already, in singapore ah we have a lot of rules, exhaust cannot modify window cannot tint and all that but the malaysian come in ah, that breach all these rule one ah exhaust illegal the window tint illegal come come in come in no catch free


but you singapore car then they catch malaysia car they don't catch so double standard singapore custom double standard LTA double standard then you see all the bus truck come out so many smoke allow them to do it leh but you know singapore commercial vehicle


if you went through a lot of hurdles already, you you manage to get the road tax and permit to drive a commercial vehicle to malaysia right, you still need to go to their inspection centre every every every two years or every three years, in malaysia and and your car must meet their emission standards


because malaysia is consistent they have rules singapore cars go in from the south thailand car come in from the north they enforce the same you must have third brake light, you must have your insurance you your car cannot have err those err very loud exhaust the emission all these you will get summon one


but singapore they enforce in singapore car only leh outside car no need one, so it's ridiculous, VEP lor vehicle entry permit I think one year they have certain days free there's no limit but it's don't know how many days are free so for example lah


every car err one year you get twenty days free come in singapore ah but it's not limit after twenty days then you have to pay the vehicle entry permit which I, I think it's about fifteen twenty dollars per day


ya ya it's not that you cannot come in you can, but it's just you have to pay the road tax lah is ya lor, ya lor but they give you twenty days free lor something like that lah


twenty days not twenty times ah that's it, ya so the circuit breaker thing a lot of them stuck here mah so the government say waive lah don't need to pay


VEP those who choose to stay no need to pay for VEP because they are stuck here due to the circuit breaker mah, ya, the equivalent in malaysia is the road charge RC


so when drive in I think it's twenty Ringgit every time that one is every time one so you go in seven days also twenty Ringgit but if you go in everyday everyday is twenty Ringgit, no free day ya straightaway charge


then in a way because <mandarin>我们这边需要他们的:wo men zhe bian xu yao ta men de</mandarin> staff mah we need their manpower and labour they don't need our manpower and labour, their their economy, ya they need us to spend so they won't give us discount to spend but they don't need our labour


no and the stupid thing is that you see ah in singapore buses lorry ah speed limit sixty


if you carry people at the back of your lorry or pick up your speed limit is err sixty if you don't is speed limit is seventy but buses I think is sixty, right but when malaysia bus come in ah, they don't have speed limit eh it's still ninety hundred ya then it's like err <mandarin>你的车:ni de che</mandarin> ah


then <mandarin>你就会:ni jiu hui</mandarin> Suay <mandarin>所以你的:suo yi ni de</mandarin> limit <mandarin>七十:qi shi</mandarin> and along the same logic ah okay lah this is a bit sarcastic lah what I just said but on the non sarcastic and objective perspective is


you know those van ah that can sit eight people nine people one, hiace or mercedes vito right so, by default right if you, buy right is registered under PA or PC err which is a mini bus lah so is like commercial vehicle the number plate start with P one PA PC something commercial vehicle their speed limit is err seventy


but if you pay extra money ah which is tough ah, you register under S plate, which is like a car but can sit eight or nine people it's the same thing you know same vehicle same engine same tyre same seat you know, then you don't have the speed limit of seventy kilometers per hour you you can run as fast as what the road dictates ya so this is


this is the irony lah is like if you pay more money your car plate ah got a S ah or is a malaysia plate ah you will be blessed by allah god or anything your car will be safe to travel until ninety hundred kilometer per hour, but if your car is just put a G plate


or P plate ah based on singapore LTA assign one, !wah! you are dangerous you need seventy kilometer per hour what logic no logic one double standard a lot of double standard, ya


our license if you see you flip to the back right, I believe is carry a passenger of not more than seven but the new license don't have this the new license did not word it's not worded in this way ya


ya, ya, ya so this is something err they call it the ultravirus


in the past there is such a ruling, so err class three license you can drive a motor vehicle up to a certain weight, then up to maybe seven passenger plus yourself eight person


so there is this law rule I don't know whether parliament has seated to change the rule and law, but I don't think so I didn't hear anything and is written in our license ya your flip to the back right it is, but if you are those people who just got your license the past ten years right they remove this word


so there are those new license !huh! their license don't have this limitation of seven or eight people thing, so now they are selling those cars, like there is this china brand one lah I cannot remember what is the brand, fortune or something like that but it's a van that can seat eight passenger or nine passenger one the configuration


err and they are allowed to sell and they are registered as a S plate normal car lah so normal car driver can drive so that time in the motor show I ask them I show you my license my license say cannot sit I cannot drive a car that can carry more than seven passenger then they say no leh they don't have issue with it they say this one class three normal can drive


and then the government never address this before traffic police never address this before, so it's something ultravirus they did let people do it and drive like the vito all these ah they can be eight seat one they let them drive ya and they never enforce this regulation so this is ultravirus ya


and you know in malaysia there is a very popular the hyundai one the hyundai van that seats a lot of people ya that time they couldn't come in partly because of this reason, err is like those van lor but there's like eight passenger seat or nine passenger seat one so in malaysia very popular they use it as a substitute of alphard


ya so it's spacious big and all but it didn't make it to singapore because I think LTA doesn't allowed to our market it err probably due to the number of seats is a lot so it become like bus so they don't allow them to be registered as S plate but then the china one come in can leh


I think the brand start with M one lah you you see it on the road not not a lot but they are trying to compete with alphard the cheaper version of alphard ya


have to there is a limitation to the commercial bus ah for


is a super bus or is a


the aircon one ah aircon probably take aircon lah the first gen of the super bus lah, last time we call it what double deck aircon one is called super bus mah, the first gen one lor


in hong-kong


bus or what


[orh], you know our singapore SBS bus is all built in malaysia Johor there is a factory, actually singapore all the


trucks lorry commercial vehicle right, err


they only buy chassis and engine then it's built up from scratch like building a house like that ya so it's built in, malaysia ya in Johor there is a factory, no the the chassis and engine all ship to johor then the the the factory then <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> assemble <mandarin>建起来啦:jian qi lai la</mandarin> not assemble lah it's uh it's build from scratch


ya the wall the glass the panel the seat everything the staircase everything everything is built in malaysia it's all custom, no people really sell a bus like a car like that where you come in here got seat got everything don't have because first of all import tax


the cost increase tremendously ah if you put a body onto it, and then the government will tax mah and tax like double mah hundred and ten percent hundred and thirty percent GST everything the chassis is original lor manufacturer lor engine lor that's all <mandarin>没有了剩的东西全部都是:mei you le sheng de dong xi quan bu dou shi</mandarin> our local build <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lor ya


it's like my previous company right we tell the builder what we want lor, the my previous company we we are bus operator mah, ya you never see before meh on the road so many err you google lor no lah tour bus


tour bus ya RMG ya then after that before I left I I design and build one lor I for the first time they always buy scania last time was volvo then err for the first time I managed to convince bosses to take man truck


M A N their gear box their err everything better lah ya and economical ya so I chose the err the specs and all then after that I send to local to build lor


ya ya uh ya in terms of hundreds they got space lah singapore where got space to go and park so many to build we don't have the production capacity consuming mah labour intensive labour intensive ya


so Johor they hire those err ibanese lah Bangla lah and do lor it's like building flat like that lah but take up a lot of space cause you cannot stack mah


start Liao mah


pork broth like what kind of pork broth


ya [orh] okay


, you were to form the duo onion, oh


right, so end up <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> confused soup , really so she cooked it for how long


ya, ya ya !wah! then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> shop <mandarin>他们煮那种:ta men zhu na zhong</mandarin> twenty four forty eight hours <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> then ya


, white colour yes, okay I think <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> soy sauce or something right okay


, that's true, now can order in, err , we eat this err thing that we had in thailand which is uh #tom yum# porridge


ya which is actually <mandarin>蛮容易煮的:man rong yi zhu de</mandarin> lah so you just err just cook a normal a normal porridge porridge base right just rice and water <mandarin>然后你就加:ran hou ni jiu jia</mandarin> err like we add meatball, which we just buy those packet one from the supermarket


then err, depend on whether you like or not lah we added err pork slices so <mandarin>猪肉片:zhu rou pian</mandarin> and also err, we add some pig liver as well, ya so, [orh] so you buy the


#tom yum# paste inside then you mix it then it become #tom yum# porridge


no but you should try it's very it's very comforting because in thailand when we were there like we has this err #tom yum# porridge and it is in a claypot one, but I think they also do the same thing so they have a porridge base right and then after that they


add the #tom yum# paste also, then they just mix everything together and then they serve you, and recently I think in singapore we saw a shop at, I think Rangoon road that area, then we went to try and, like it cost like eight dollars


like for one tiny pot, but actually <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> like <mandarin>自己在家煮的:zi ji zai jia zhu de</mandarin> cause it is really quite easy it's just like it's almost like instant noodle lah like instant paste then plus a porridge and then you just like mix it together


[orh] ya, sweeter lah become sweeter


ya [orh] ya ya ya, when, ya ya so actually uh


if you don't like so much carbs right and then <mandarin>如果要健康一点:ru guo yao jian kang yi dian</mandarin> so what you do is err you just have a bit of rice and then you put like more water , so it's not so like, carbo heavy, then what you do is like you know cantonese style the porridge so what they usually do is err


they will actually cook for very long right and then what you do is when the rice is like soft then they will keep stirring it to break it down lah that's why become so smooth, so that's what you can do lah then you want more #tom yum# you just add more #tom yum# paste so it's like customizable


but it's like it's really quite easy lah cause the ingredients is like it's just chop and throw inside, where


oh is the boat noodle okay okay ya yes


ya ya,


ya oh ya ya


ya, each person [orh] okay okay, ya


right, but what what kind of food they sell, thai food ah


oh ya, [orh] right right ya ya


[orh] spam fries ya, so <mandarin>你驾车:ni jia che</mandarin> all the way to Yishun just to eat this


but you heard about it or what, serious okay, so would you go back again, but you know in thailand like so this thai boat noodle thing right you know how they do it one right is actually like the famous one in thailand is like on this dirty Longkang


like at this place near called err victory monument so then there's some like Longkang err, Longkang there lah and the, the Longkang there the <mandarin>水沟:shui gou</mandarin> there is like super disgusting one it's like like brown colour and then damn smelly, and then err so these people selling is called boat noodle right so basically the vendor is on the boat like with their pot of broth and the noodle and and everything


and then like err, when you order right the shop is like beside the Longkang, and then they they serve it to you lah it's also same lah like one small bowl and err the thing is you must eat the small bowl lah nobody eat big bowl one, and then like you must stack your bowl and take a photo after that


so that's the whole point of eating like boat noodle lah ya ya


I think it's ten baht, which is forty cents lah forty cents can buy already ya ya, ya ya they just put inside only ya put inside ya


ya ya but you know in thailand what is the secret ingredient inside the thai boat noodle, maybe maybe and err also I think pig's blood, they they put like the pig's blood inside so I got friends that after they they eat that one right


they have to go to the toilet, herbal ah


the thai food the coffee shop one is it ya okay ya, ya


, but it's the coffee shop where like, like <mandarin>那天:na tian</mandarin> we eat the <mandarin>点心:dian xin</mandarin> ah okay okay


ya, what did I do yesterday ah, oh I went to run at marina bay, ya no no no I took a bus to MBS, then from MBS err


I start to run, and then , I ran all the way to Kallang, like, marina bay then MBS and then err barrage, then you cross over garden by the east, then #tanjong rhu#


and then Kallang, ya then after that err I walk to lavender there, ya cause I wanted to buy this #orh nee# tart thing, ya I was alone alone of course lah everybody like

oh really [orh] okay ya, ya ya, yup ya ya


no way, ya, ya ya [orh] ya


ya ya ya [orh] ya


for the bike lah ya ya, a bit heavy ya [orh] okay okay right right right


ya ya ya


ya , ya


, then <mandarin>他怎么样:ta zen me yang</mandarin> like, so <mandarin>他们有钱的:ta men you qian de</mandarin> lah


but where they stay, [orh] then not that bad ya <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> west coast highway ya ya ya that is true ya ha

[orh] okay, right [orh] ya ya ya


right ah ya


, so <mandarin>他是看你踩多大力:ta shi kan ni cai duo da li</mandarin> ah ya, yes oh correct ya


right [orh] ya <mandarin>是真的是蛮快:shi zhen de shi man kuai</mandarin> ya ya , confirm lah


ya ya actually it sounds a bit dangerous it sounds a bit dangerous ya ya uh ya


ya right, ya


[orh] true


<mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> tune <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lah I think <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> configure ya that's what people do all the electric car all that to extend the battery life for the car <mandarin>他全部跟它:ta quan bu gen ta</mandarin> tune


ya, so <mandarin>你怎么样做那个:ni zen me yang zuo na ge</mandarin> bike


[orh] <mandarin>我有听过:wo you ting guo</mandarin> ya so <mandarin>你直接买那个:ni zhi jie mai na ge</mandarin> tandem frame <mandarin>还是你买整个:hai shi ni mai zheng ge</mandarin> bike okay


!wah! ya, right right right, so <mandarin>你怎么样跑那:ni zen me yang pao na</mandarin> wire


cable tie so it runs outside lah it doesn't go inside the frame, right right right, you should


[orh] ya ya ya ya, during CB lah ya, so how many years already, like okay


but it's still running well lah ya ya, confirm lah


ya, cable eh [orh] okay, [orh] ya


ya , right, ya


ya , ya so <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> pump <mandarin>是你插在:shi ni cha zai</mandarin> cigarette <mandarin>那边:na bian</mandarin> then it will automatically pump the air [orh] okay okay


right right right ya , right


[orh], but <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> total <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> spend like about


ya,


, so the motor is like, for what purpose one, originally like when they sell it


oh okay okay okay oh the brakes everything is like original one ah, the bread is still arena, so, ya [orh] okay okay ya ya


okay lah but your wiring is not nice right right right, that is true


one tube lah then all the wire run inside, ya, [orh] ya


ya, right right right right, ya, ya [orh]


okay ya, so where is the battery and motor, [orh] ya rear seat handle ah ya ya


the motor also lah, eh no motor is mounted on the gear, yes the front wheel ah !wah! okay


so it's quite slim one lah, compact lah ya ya, right uh uh


okay, bicycle front fork ah okay, then the battery is, in a, in the bag, on the, rear, handle, then is there still a controller like there's another unit ah another right


phone, ya, oh okay okay, ya


okay start start start, okay I think we, need to tell them that there's a bit of technical difficulty that like that happen during this recording but since it's the trial <mandarin>请原谅我们吧:qing yuan liang wo men ba</mandarin> right cause I think


ya, true


no lah but if it can be used like, for the research then might as well lah, ya


I think predominantly lah, true true ya actually this is a singapore thing right


ya , ya ya, that's true ya, ya actually I think we're suppose to see this thing right then if like it shows red colour means like is too loud or something yes


ya, , ya the range !huh! ya


and uh, don't get too excited, so what you going to do later, I, the rooster for ninth august so I was like


!huh! so they took out then they gave you back, oh so they change the sim okay


ya, but support support <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> procedure <mandarin>的吗:de ma</mandarin> support <mandarin>就直接:jiu zhi jie</mandarin> err <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> just <mandarin>做:zuo</mandarin> three circuit and that's it


ya that's that's no need for normal procedure I think, ,


[orh] <mandarin>吃一点也是可以:chi yi dian yi shi ke yi</mandarin> lah <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> ah can


downwind track lah, track lor technically <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> track, uh <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> lah track sell downwind track track sell <mandarin>然后:ran hou</mandarin> downwind track yes


base turn lor, no base track lor


runway track VS, [orh], oh <mandarin>直接关:zhi jie guan</mandarin> actually not much diff lah it's distracting lah it's distracting ya okay okay


ya lah, ya, so


ya like I I think I think it's a it's a waste of time and it's a distraction when you are doing checklist for a circuit cause cause it's very tight and two, our ECR is is not, is not, the circuit check list is the ah and the normal procedure checklist so if you tell me we do circuit checklist okay but if you are doing normal procedure checklist no


like it's it's you're just wasting a lot of time lah, no leh I don't think so I don't think so, I don't think so don't have, don't have, I always never do one


really, I think normal aircraft lah sims is fine normal aircraft yes but sims is fine I think they disable it it's okay should be online lah is not in the is not <mandarin>真的会真的会:zhen de hui zhen de hui</mandarin> I think even your approach checklist you never do by ten thousand feet the warning come out already ya err err approach ah <mandarin>有看过:you kan guo</mandarin> like checklist normal or something


then, ya lor then <mandarin>你就要做:ni jiu yao zuo</mandarin> lor, ya so, ya lor, okay lah then <mandarin>看到有:kan dao you</mandarin> tail <mandarin>你就快点:ni jiu kuai dian</mandarin> take flight lor then <mandarin>如果没有:ru guo mei you</mandarin> err


ya, but, but tail for example lah let's say everything constant you you take flight you turn at the same rate right if you got tailwind right you will you will overshoot


like tailwind or headwind and then


uh <mandarin>有也是:you yi shi</mandarin> lah tailwind is harder lah but ya but


ya, so err, ya lor I I feel it helps lah once you know <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> small small things then <mandarin>你有做的话:ni you zuo de hua</mandarin> it should be quite easy, ya ya lor


!huh!


[orh], oh ya ya ya


okay right right ya right right


but are they, [orh], but <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> power point <mandarin>他们做那个:ta men zuo na ge</mandarin> illegal method <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> legal method legal method <mandarin>是他们会拉那个:shi ta men hui la na ge</mandarin> box you know the whole stretch of that box thing which is the trunking which is very ugly lah <mandarin>很难看的:hen nan kan de</mandarin> then the illegal method is they will drill a bit into the hole


then they will they will they will like err pull the wire then after that they will cover it up so is like sleek lah ya


!wah! but that's the expensive method lah expensive method lah okay but, the cheap and the good method, then cover it up ya ya ya


, yes, right,


ya right


ya, but I think it's it's the same for everything what architectural work engineering work you build highway no the person building and the person signing off is always a different person


ya ya, ya ya


ya, ya, right, ya


ya, ya <mandarin>如果每个人:ru guo mei ge ren</mandarin> like that must this


ya ya, ya ya ya ya yes ya ya, ya [orh] ya ya ya


and they buy the supplies in malaysia where it's cheaper ya curtains also, curtains all these things


ya, ya, ya


, ya ya ya [orh] ya


ya


okay, it's malaysia one right ya, [orh] ya, right but why malaysia wants the third brake light oh ya they are their two light got one light always spoil one so need a third one they still got two light


so if we don't have right, , ya, [orh], no problem right ya


ya, [orh] , that's true [orh]


ya, ya, in malaysia lah okay lah


they want money lah [orh] ya [orh], ya correct ya


right ya ya, ya ya right


true ya, [orh] yes, correct ya ya ya right


!wah! actually malaysia car every time they come in they have to pay some fee right like


is like, I thought like one year they only can come in how many times leh there is a limit one okay okay, [orh] I think something like that I heard this twenty days one [orh] pay lah


I think twenty dollars I heard this price ya but is every time you come in you pay once lah, ya okay then actually not so bad lah


that means you can okay twenty times I can come in per year oh twenty days ah so I one shot come in twenty days that's it already, [orh] okay okay lah if not can cheat lah


the VEP thing cause cause their vehicles are here lah, right right right right


VEP, is it, ya


but no free day lah like straightaway charge straightaway charge ah !wah!, don't give chance


they need they need, they need our money ya lah ya, right right right right


true true true, that time go malaysia I see the the Kung bus the blue colour one is the worst lah, ah also have also have, like !wah! damn Jialat one like really lor like you say lor the smoke is like spewing out damn noisy the engine then they like anyhow drive in singapore also okay


someone they got commercial license, they are like allowed right like run bus services in singapore and everything, ya ya ya [orh] ya ya right


ya, ya, right right ya,


really ya ya, ya right right right


hiace ah toyota that kind ya ya


okay ya ya okay ya , ya


oh okay ya ya right


ya, ya right ya


right ya, ya, eh I heard err singapore license for car you can only drive up to what seven people or nine people ah


ya, seven right, that means oh really, right right oh because I heard this thing applies to only


like some country lah mostly asian countries but if you have a european driving license like same class or like it doesn't say this thing, so for example like hiace you say right can sit up to nine people right but we cannot drive it if there's nine people we can only drive up to seven people ya


, ya


ya, I think it's the same, ya ya, ya oh really ya


ya, okay, ya


ya right oh okay, ya seven ya


right ya right, oh okay okay ya right right right


(mmhmm) it's also the <mandarin>面包车:mian bao che</mandarin> one ah, ya okay ya


ya ya, right [orh]


why so weird ya not a lot ah ya, oh I just read err that singapore buses they only use it for seventeen years


ya then after that they, scrape it or they sell it overseas ya cause this bus collector from hong-kong just bought old SBS double decker and then he ship it all the way to hong-kong


collector he is a bus collector he is a real like like he really ah like just <mandarin>买:mai</mandarin> bus to to to keep it at home and then like <mandarin>欣赏:xin shang</mandarin> like that, must be damn rich <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lah then


unload from the port then they have to drive it to wherever his collection is lah, so people were like, like those people that are like bus fanatic, then they will like !wah! because they know the bus is coming right then they will like go down and then go and shoot it, so they shot it and it's all online now SBS transit like a double decker bus aircon one aircon one quite quite I don't know which gen is it a super bus oh maybe lor that means now about seventeen years old ya then they sell it lor then can see like the SBS bus like driving around in hong-kong ya


quite funny then after that they <mandarin>顺便:shun bian</mandarin> post something that is in, thailand ah so I think it's like when we were young, the single deck aircon bus, like first gen one lah, I think maybe don't have a lot lah so, err they


I think same after like seventeen years then, they just like sell to thailand, then thailand is using for their public bus now but it's probably like forty or fifty years old now, and then they are still using it and then err inside the bus, like <mandarin>它那边有一个:ta na bian you yi ge</mandarin> sign that says err bus stopping


like, but technically in thailand it should be thai lah but it says bus stopping, bus stopping, because I think it is a singapore bus lah so it says err bus there's a sign there lah that says bus stopping like in english lah rather than in thai, ya


really, ,

oh yes I remember a trip to australia, and we went to, melbourne melbourne right, there was this uh I think the library which was amazing the books were


!wah! so vast <mandarin>很多很多书就是读不完的地方:hen duo hen duo shu jiu shi du bu wan de di fang</mandarin> or that that library and, there were horses on the roads I mean


it's really , something different I feel, and err that place was just so artsy I love the, the the night, the night feel of the place where there was music and err


and the live band just playing along the along the roads, , ah <mandarin>在新加坡真的感觉不到这样的地方:zai xin jia po zhen de gan jue bu dao zhe yang de di fang</mandarin> even when we go to timbre like we don't get this kind of atmosphere


like only in only in melbourne do I feel this this kind of, this type of atmosphere, and , where else did we go we went to err, suburb, part of err melbourne called saint kilda


because, the penguins they just just so cute, it and it's just amazing to see the penguins you know, err leaving out their natural habitat


, waddle up and we saw the penguin chicks, err, fluffy fluffy <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lor


err <mandarin>有些因为他们那么:you xie yin wei ta men na me</mandarin> fluffy they so fluffy that, they are bigger than the adult penguins can you imagine, and I didn't know that there were so many penguins species in the world, like so many the king penguin the emperor penguin


so many types of penguins, ya and I remember benedict cumberbatch, err mispronounced the penguin, and said penguins or something like that,


you are always making fun of me about that road trip, the the long great ocean road the eight hour drive, !wah!, I just feel so giddy <mandarin>我真的很想呕吐:wo zhen de hen xiang ou tu</mandarin> so weird [orh]


!hais!


the glistening waters, is just amazing, ya I just can't stand, the driving and, so glad <mandarin>我不是驾车的人:wo bu shi jia che de ren</mandarin> ah


something like coode island or something, and we explored the mall there, and it was so fun and and and I finally get to, see the err australia supermarkets I mean here all we get is like NTUC err like


giant like I mean, that's all right over there they have, woolworths and target, and it's just


!wow! and and their collection of err, items are just massive and and I really liked that they have children items there


you are being a mother, you know where I can get err, cheap and good books, for my kids to read and and really educational toys, and I remember we also had red rooster there which is


ah my first time you know eating eating that, and it's and it's really wonderful it's like <mandarin>真的可以跟:zhen de ke yi gen</mandarin> err KFC <mandarin>和:he</mandarin> texas chicken,


err continue to drive on the road lah I remember, and, uh and we finally reached our destination which was the, twelve apostles


it's such a scenery and the weather was perfect, I mean how do you get such a combination in Singapore in Singapore <mandarin>这里又热又:zhe li you re you</mandarin> humid !huh!,


err when I step out of my house I just want to quickly come back into the house, but when I'm on the great ocean road, the weather was perfect, like is the we the it was like in an aircon room


we saw the twelve apostles we just saw nature in action, as we were there and we were climbing up and down the cliffs


and the vast beaches just so natural, and so beautiful I'll just love to, be there again, and I remember we were out all the way till quite late, !wah! <mandarin>天呐已经暗暗的然后呢你我你知道了新的新加坡:tian na yi jing an an de ran hou ne ni wo ni zhi dao le xin de xin jia po</mandarin> hor


but in australia, I mean seriously the roads do not have lights all they have are reflectors on the floor


and it's so scary driving on the road I remember we were, we have to drive a distance to our accommodation, and, and we were almost lost our way , what an adventure


ya I'm listening


ya, that was ya true lor that you jog my memory that that happen which was which was fun in my opinion I mean, that's why we travel right we we want to meet err


like unusual circumstances and, ya that was that was pretty cool, ya obviously I I was asleep lah,


err, ah <mandarin>因为其实:yin wei qi shi</mandarin> it was quite a tempting to go up to to that that pit stop because at that pit stop we get to see whales


and you get to see dolphins, survive the the road


, ya this current COVID situation is really a pain in the ass, well, I still remember our trip when we were travelling back the straight road was a so much more manageable


!wah!, so memorable, it was such an experience


ya, but that was an experience that, that I will never forget the the experience in beautiful king, did you like it,


ya, , ya, I am sure that the government will, will open up the borders just a, matter of time, yes I remember the that cairns, yes one thing I I remember about cairns was the


the experience of going snorkeling in the deep, it is it was pretty deep isn't it so when I remember


!wah! <mandarin>真的很可怕:zhen de hen ke pa</mandarin> really very scary and the vastness of the, of the ocean was, was overtaking me !wah! I just felt a, a little sense of of fear , that the the sea was just so big


ya, err <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> coral reefs, reminds me of ah your dads fish tank fish


we saw the clown fish we saw the the tank we saw the, err sturgeon fish it's it's so beautiful ya, really it's like your


thousand million times, that was that was cairns do you remember another trip that we went, like I think somewhere back in two thousand and three, we went to Bangkok, which was really fun


and now one of our, it is, I mean life, life and life and and all it's err happening with ah


so, yes I still remember that trip to Bangkok, it was, it was really fun like we went to Chatuchak, err <mandarin>椰子椰子冰淇淋是吗:ye zi ye zi bing qi lin shi ma</mandarin> like coconut ice cream


which was just so, typical is just so I mean just taste, taste of thailand taste of ya just taste of thailand, just amazing we will just savouring the taste, and and savouring the whole uh market experience there was


strange pots and pans and like ceramics, like, so out of place


but it's there, I mean who buys it I have no idea and , ya like people were selling, aquarium fishes there, but it was it was interesting idea


and, and did we eat real worm, we bought a packet of worm that we each took a that and like eat eat the meal worm, and


I remember it's strangely tastes, yet it was crispy, it was okay, but, the thought of it was just a sin so yup no we didn't continue eating it, well and I guess if you talk to a nutritionist


they would say that it's full of protein the mealworm right and they would you know there was this talks about about having you know since we have a population boom and we might have not enough food right they say that we might use insect to substitute as protein


!wah! <mandarin>真的真的太恶心了:zhen de zhen de tai er xin le</mandarin> I cannot I don't think I can I can take it, but anyway, and I still remember we went to this , we get we happened to chance upon this, magnum, magnum ice cream shop in Bangkok


and it was just so cheap like, all the food there was just so cheap, magnum ice cream in, in beautiful decorations and err <mandarin>我我记得那个那个店他们:wo wo ji de na ge na ge dian ta men</mandarin>


the decorations will like, so gorgeous like a palace


and each ordering the beautiful magnum and and I mean, well it's magnum, ya


you know


ya well this, this COVID situation was really a, is is really a a difficult time err for us to go through, and


ah three meals on the table, need to look after the old, the old folks ah especially those generations that are sandwiched in between


they are just err definitely facing a lot of a lot of stress and, and a lot of a difficulty, , somehow, you know


I I, I guess sometimes, we have to see the positive side of things sometimes, like to look at the silver lining, , in terms of, err


sometimes is like okay at least I still have a job, you know or, some something like that, and , well, for the going out part


it doesn't really affect me as a mum because


a lot of my, a lot of my friends who are not parents yet they, well they got kind of bored staying at home but like I said


you know err just to, to to humble ourselves and and just to know how, how blessed we are even in in this situation, yes we may complain and err complain to friends you know


oh I want to go to this place you know this this COVID is is in the way and, well at least we didn't get the virus, it's quite err, it it's really quite life threatening, the virus, like people do the high for me


and and all that complicated things, so,


oh ya well like I said I'm a mother and stuck at home most of the time anyway, so, I don't I don't see it , but ya well, thinking of it from their point of view


and point the economy boosted because of it, ya I mean if not, , we would face a even worst kind of depression, and I'm really hoping that


somehow travel will, will be back up again


you know I I see like spike in cases spiked in deaths, and <mandarin>这些国家都是我们的邻居:zhe xie guo jia dou shi wo men de lin ju</mandarin> you know they're just next to us and, you never know, if they just a little lax here and there that they err


ya I mean they would spread lah spread to us ah and if we just let down our guard, you know bad things will happen, and you know , quite glad that in Singapore most people, err


kind of abide by the rule and and, and you know wear their mask and keep to, safe distancing again, and and looking at the err, the number of community spread is not that much compared to other countries


uh it's just devastating, and they just think that is their right to, to go on without masks and they use


uh, religion and the use you know their rights and such re reasoning, to to,


I mean this is ridiculous, it's a it's not just an individual thing, you know this is a, this this has to do with the community lah, everyone has to wear mask and, and take their necessary precautions to make sure that this thing doesn't spread


if not it's not, it's not the individual


that's true and I I'm kind of glad that our healthcare infras infrastructures, know you know being able to manage their cases and and that's because our cases don't spike, because when I heard when I see you know, the videos of other countries is just so scary


uh


the citizens to do because they are so overloaded, that they are supposed the citizen is supposed to manage their own COVID nineteen infections at home, and, and


call the hospital and tell them that they are, their symptoms and without and the hospital will tell them, if they are if they qualify to go and, and if you know they said oh


you are you're not, having any breathlessness yet, you know the symptoms is not that serious then, then they do not qualify to go which is so scary, I remember watching this video of , this uh


ah <mandarin>三个月的:san ge yue de</mandarin> baby, ah, err grocery shopping


the three of them, you know got the COVID nineteen and they were, in such a, dying in in such a painful such a, sick situation and and they have to manage a three month old I mean


no yours your your COVID nineteen is not serious enough, you can't, you can't ah enter our institution


before the pediatrician call back and the pediatrician


and well I guess thankfully, the child managed to get warded in in a in a pediatric hospital and, and while they just had to wait it out wait for, the bodies to develop the immune response


against the virus and just wait out the days you know I think it was like, twelve day, I mean twelve excruciating days, before they were all cleared of the virus


mind blown


err yes, definitely, let's say you know the countries have to, the irresponsible themselves like, you know that we have to all understand that this is a community effort, and, and this is a global effort actually and not not each country's


individual effort and, as long as each country display, any signs of selfishness well I guess,


it's true I really love our canada trip, and let me tell you to be honest I love


you just go on a plane and , and watch and watch the shows and, and somehow we managed to get business class and first class


uh, hor , it's it's it's it's an experience and, and ordering the various the various selections of coffee


what ecuador coffee and what not things that I, I don't know but it was it was it was nice that you get the order champagne, we sat on business class and first class seats which was just huge, and ya I just love plane I think


I don't know why I get excited when, when the plane food comes and, I just love choosing like which which dish I want, is it the salmon is it the fish is it the chicken whatever, just


I just enjoy it and well being on business class or first class, they serve you in porcelain plate, which is just amazing I didn't know that, that you get to use porcelain plates on the plane


and there were like so many courses we get uh, a drink a dessert, uh


uh ask for more snack, I don't know, I just love plane right


yes, uh and I remember our trip when, err <mandarin>我们去到:wo men qu dao</mandarin> err victoria falls, !wow! <mandarin>真的很美:zhen de hen mei</mandarin> leh


anyway, so anyways we were staying over at your aunt's place, and


and err we had to drive over to the victoria falls, and after that, when we were at the falls it was just so gorgeous


!wow! the power from the from the falling water was, was so great the wind was too strong, it's just , so nice to to be so close to nature


and definitely a lot of a great opportunities to take pictures with the, family and you know, I really had a lot of fun there and I really


and I really missed the place, and I miss the family as well


that's just so statistic I mean, seriously some people have just such fear but


!hais!


like some people just want to go there to experience really, life, bridge that's all, ya and, and ya it was it was such a fun experience there


actually what, I remember most from from canada was the, the rockies I mean the, the mountains were just so gorgeous, the snow capped mountains, they stretch


you know so far and wide, ya I'm I'm I'm so small in this world and and, and nature is just so big and so magnificent


ya some


natural resources, and we are just so small we are just this small speck on this earth, and in this in this universe if you look


into the solar system, but what is it all when you look at how small you are


what what what do they all mean anyway our little stresses in our lives right, sometimes


ya, I have I think I I get how you feel, err <mandarin>我我去到:wo wo qu dao</mandarin> new zealand


uh, the the sky was I mean the sight was just amazing, like to say that it was like someone painted across the sky because you know the how the milky way look like right there's this like line of a dense a number of stars


and paint, and swipe across the sky and and does this like, whole dense, ya it it just again you you just


you are just in awe, and you know that, you know, you know that that's god out there who who who, it it just I guess it brings


ah <mandarin>看到那个:kan dao na ge</mandarin> victoria falls, we we try to create


beautiful , they tried to create nice err fun theme parks you know you think about disneyland, and all that kind of thing and you think about like, err shopping districts and and you think about all the touristy things, but, nothing that human create


when it comes to what, you know god can do is limitless ah


ya speaking of adventures ah, I have to share with you this experience, of myself err going through skydiving ya ya, just amazing right, no regrets, okay <mandarin>我记得我们我跟我的女朋友一起:wo ji de wo men wo gen wo de nv peng you yi qi</mandarin> uh


kind of like, indemnity, it to to say that like you know if anything happens to us like the company is not responsible


well my girlfriends were like, I was like, okay give me a pen okay


, but anyway, so, it was just so fun like skydiving we were taken on a on a plane first


and we were all sitiing in our gear and well we went for this tandem skydiving so as we see


because it's like you're the next your turn next you know and, and ya we we just so you just, just jump down, and and just let the tandem guy, help you with with the whole experience


ya, and err, you know this guy he's just so experience with his sky I mean like, I think I ask him how many times he skydive and he he said like, like too many to count, and he skydive in various countries like


paris and and and and all those places lah so I guess, you know he he looked at me like a newbie well, then ah he at the first part of the dive


so, the all the all the fear is all trap in your heart, you just have to scream he purposely


you know went down tumbling and tumbling really fast for the first one minute, and then after that, he controlled the, well he control the, parachute and started to slow down


you know so far you know we we are always on earth and and and our view is, you know the same view you know the the sky above and the the ground below and


the where you you see really where the sky meets the green grass and, and it was new zealand you know there was no land it was all


all fields and and grass and and the sea, like <mandarin>我就是坐在那边:wo jiu shi zuo zai na bian</mandarin> ah <mandarin>就是坐在那边想:jiu shi zuo zai na bian xiang</mandarin> take it lor take in


ya, , I would never forget and this is an experience that that I would never regret


and I'm just so glad that in my life, I use skydiving one


, no lah everyone was very cooperative we just well we know that we had to do it, so we so <mandarin>我们就乖乖跳:wo men jiu guai guai tiao</mandarin> lor <mandarin>跳下去:tiao xia qu</mandarin> lor


err, well I guess to say perhaps


you know eighty ninety percent of the singaporean, we are all you know so driven to chase that pot of gold that elusive pot of gold, you know we we just go, go through the grind and everyday, you know get its stable job and you know


ya, ya, hope that one day we'll get that pot of gold, but you know there's this, group of people that I'm just,


, ah like you know must , must treasure this one life like kind of like a yolo thing


well for me, uh, my job brings me everywhere uh so


you go here go there uh, uh


maybe like, field with the open spaces, and the, the big, country


it was I remember that place ah it was actually, called phillip island ah, beach ah <mandarin>沙滩:sha tan</mandarin> is it, not sure what is it called, mandarin, but then ah, it's like clock where ah after a certain time ah


maybe evening time when the sun goes down the tide comes in


well what I remember of our trip was, was just I think the most memorable part for me was the road trip ah, where we rented a car and drove from melbourne to sydney, I remember you supposed to, navigate for me but


foreign country ah, I don't know the way ah we get lost, I guess, I really love this err long drives you know, it's very


therapeutic, , you will be very relaxing, I guess that's why I choose a job that involves sitting still for long periods of time


and you just need to monitor and you can let your mind wander


!huh!


ya about that ah, twelve apostles is no more, apparently I read newspaper ah, so eleven apostles left now


and, ya , ya about the great ocean road ah I remember it was raining quite heavily that day ah and, !wah! look if you are a new driver ah, because of all the bends and the turns and so many blind spots you know


some of the bends are like, could be up to seventy degrees, and you can't see the oncoming traffic ah, and the drive was so long because, we took the great ocean road and is considered as a scenic route ah


ah <mandarin>一个小时:yi ge xiao shi</mandarin> ah then you cut short our, time from like maybe four five hours to


it's just four hours of drive, it will be less tiring for me, ya then our accommodation, it ya it was a dead road going in, I remember as we were, driving out it was really dark ah then you will see of nowhere


that's when driving out the dirt I saw something ah, there's a, ah <mandarin>驾车啊会挺有一点:jia che a hui ting you yi dian</mandarin> err


then, but okay ah lucky also the vehicle, then I remembered regret we went to the nearest fish and chip shops


where the, ah, australia hor, it was only like, it's only like ah


its five PM or five thirty ah, so in the end ah we just had to go back and, drink the milk in the fridge ah and


winter time hor


then when you said that, australia you know when you drive in singapore you takes lights for granted australia hor, if you drive on those roads


so the roads are really pitch darkness zero light except for those on your headlights and on your reflectors, so, as I said ah driving in australia takes a bit of experience, there's some etiquette that you may not know


err or if if you've only drove in singapore all the whole way know as, because it's dark you want to use your high beams to see further because there's no street lamps


most people go through it without any problems they learn quite fast ah, but I wish, I wish we go traveling again someday lah but with, this situation going on now


ya ya that was they are , great great barrier reef ah went snorkeling and, ya waves


then, because it's so long I think some people will sea sick ah and then the boat that our company use [orh], so, so


at some points ah those cat modern catamarans were overtaking us and things like that you know, but because of that I mean if you have the time you want to take things slow leisurely, then, and err <mandarin>拍照片啊这些东西啊:pai zhao pian a zhe xie dong xi a</mandarin> and because I guess the company also know that their boats a bit older and slow right so they organize entertainment and


food actually not bad ah I remember there was err ah, sticks ah, it's actually not bad for, , well considering when a boat in the middle of the ocean ah, !wah! for melbourne <mandarin>我们去的时候:wo men qu de shi hou</mandarin> [orh]


winter right so


but I I don't see the need for that lah just a small little reef shark only ah it's not even bigger than your forearm, and, contrary to popular belief ah not many people know this but sharks don't really disturb you unless you disturb them ah, I hope, and then


it's a it's really a shame


well maybe you can go back then sometime , but uh, it depends on the recovery and if the, governments open up, borders, then


talk about something,


but I guess that's the thing ah, cause, everywhere so thirsty ah at in in Bangkok ah so either you love it or you, you hate it lor, and, I guess, some people love it


touristy I think <mandarin>东西会越来越贵了:dong xi hui yue lai yue gui le</mandarin> ah, all these markets and stuff a bit too busy for me it's very chaotic you know like


you know just for to save a few dollars some <mandarin>如果你问我我比较喜欢我们的:ru guo ni wen wo wo bi jiao xi huan wo men de</mandarin> australia trip lah, then


and then, that those would really be good experiences if you wanna relax ah and get away from


you know the city life which really have you in singapore just that it's a bit more expensive, and I think all these places there must be, one


but well you said the virus is a pain in the ass lah but it's also pain in my wallet and for many other people I know many friends who are like, out of job, or you know, due to the virus you got made redundant


!wah! <mandarin>减很多:jian hen duo</mandarin> ah, !wah! so, maybe we should think about, how to survive and rather than like you know, then we can go and play again ah


what do you think


actually in singapore ah <mandarin>很多人:hen duo ren</mandarin> ah <mandarin>都好像:dou hao xiang</mandarin> ah, like I mean a lot of people knows that


so, I think people are, becoming a new normal people are used to it so


it's very , it's very weird lah like this, you know it's like things are going on but, in in sometimes ah depending on where you look


and I think those were, I remember ah they they call themselves ah a sovereign solving seasons or something like that lah, actually ah <mandarin>如果你想:ru guo ni xiang</mandarin> hor <mandarin>我们新加坡人:wo men xin jia po ren</mandarin> hor actually quite a law abiding bunch ah you look at what's happening other countries ah, I mean they they don't ah


so ah you can imagine why some people are angry ah you still remember how the thing started


ah, and


so of course some people are not going to be happy ah, I mean the government just, flip flop like that you know, , then I think that the response could be maybe better at the start ah, it could be a bit more proactive part


you make me feel bad for the kid ah I mean, then, the kid is like the worst ah it doesn't know how to take care of himself cause is so small and so vulnerable


I heard in newspaper [orh], you if you spread it hor, some maybe discoloring or you know that kind of thing so hor


lung capacity will never be the same again ah unfortunately, there's not, not just like you know something that you can walk off ah


ya, and you know this whole thing about, testing and, mass testing right it's it's a bit weird lah because


so you test more there's a higher chance of your, that's your country looking bad right because got more and more, people looks like they're falling sick ah, I still remember early in the virus ah the


the indonesia one of one of our neighbouring countries ah they


it then after that right then the countries start having, cases are like magically you know so sometimes that you you you have to wonder how accurate is all this test and all this, data that is put out there ah,


but if you understand ah there's a bit of a disincentive there are some, I mean, sad to say ah but there's a bit of this sense you dare to be completely honest ah because, then the economy or bank people don't wanna come


the economy of banks some more, then you, anyway, ah this is a bit depressing ah let's talk about something else , oh ya if you if you like to talk about tours and stuff ah I don't know if you remember <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> visited my uncle in canada before ah


and that was a long trip, we just we took, what a connecting flight from, singapore to frankfurt, then from frankfurt to, to where was it new york or something then from new york then we took a small regional airline to


err toronto hor man, I think it was like, twenty something hours of con of flight time away took more than a day of travelling to reach there, , now I know why my aunties don't visit often eh


so what , ya like my uncle refuses one of my old uncles he wants to visit that uncle in Canada lah, cause <mandarin>他已经老了已经身体就没有这么:ta yi jing lao le yi jing shen ti jiu mei you zhe me</mandarin> err


travel time hor


I think the people there don't love you ah sounds like you keep them busy ah, get them like serving you all your stuff


I think, ya I guess it is good that you like that lah maybe there's hope for the, travel and air travel industry and airlines after all you know


!wah! it's a good thing, oh ya do you know about #victoria falls# actually, it it is divides


one side is the US one side is the canada, on and then it's just, I don't know how they they market it uh maybe the middle of the waterfall or something like that ah, ah, so


you know once we sat on the boat down there, and then <mandarin>他们给我们这些:ta men gei wo men zhe xie</mandarin> like ah, rain raincoats ah


it's quite a nice experience and then, if you notice ah the air in canada the whole, it is different lah the air maybe it's the fact that we went in winter but that it felt very fresh you know like, the the <mandarin>空气不一样:kong qi bu yi yang</mandarin> lah maybe because Singapore always has the haze also lah


once in a while, the air quality isn't as good as canada with all the, you know forest, but, it's really different lah, !wah! <mandarin>我很想回去:wo hen xiang hui qu</mandarin> ah


now we have like, I won't like jobs you know to to worry about


but if you ask me at the most, memorable part of the Canada trip for me for me was when we went to the glacier, the one we have to sit you know the tracked vehicles, so we move on the snow at the soft, but because of the snow melt the snow and ice melting we go all the way to glacier


you never go experience all these new things you know, and I'm still here uh so apparently there's nothing in the


nothing bad in the spring water lah, that's where some our mineral water comes from right, oh, there was this ah, what's this ah was it err, wildlife park or something there was this, latch thing ah


out of the side of a cliff ah, so <mandarin>你如果你很怕高:ni ru guo ni hen pa gao</mandarin> ah <mandarin>你走时看下去:ni zou shi kan xia qu</mandarin> hor


see ah


not really ah people like to be thrill, , err bungee jumping ah


if if if you want you don't want to feel small you just, want, you just think of each, each star is like you know, is is once solar system away some of them are like


not galaxies ah is like


but I I think in Singapore we don't really have that ah many many people don't really realize, because of the halo of light you know if you ever go to


the there's one halo of light around it ah so your chances of a sitting seeing like, stars and things that are properly is all gone ah, and singaporeans ah don't really get to see this kind of nice sights ah


maybe in the way, and you know what's life about you know


but singaporeans we don't have this reminder ah because when we looked up we just see like, the neon glow of lights, in the sky, well speaking about that ah you know when I was in Australia


australia is so big right so, the spaces were like you know if you drive off the track a bit ah, you come to a nice open feeling is, and almost no light pollution ah and <mandarin>那那时:na na shi</mandarin> hor


not only that you know you can see, you know you always see like your pictures right, that you can see like what the milky way ah


I saw it man, then you can actually really really see the milky way, then, it's something that you know


I would do it again


you're right lah, and you know, I only know what they say ah we all, born too late to explore the earth born too early to explore space, nothing much you look forward to beyond our daily life uh


I mean in the way, but, I guess we live on through our children lah, and they through their children after that, maybe what people like about ah


tours and things like that ah, so that's why ah a lot of like you know tourist tourist place they create charge create adventure for you you know

then we were talking about the LGBT stuff then she was like saying how one of the aunties right then one of the aunties like one of my colleague they were just like having this like, friendly debate kind of thing then so the guy was like just like saying


oh err my my girlfriends like girl, friends they they are looking for a girlfriend lah so got eh you got any daughter or not introduce leh yeah he's he he just like making fun of the aunty lah so he just like ask eh my my girlfriends all looking for someone you know you got ya ya then like err you got any err daughter son or not then she say I got daughter lah

then err he ya so he was like eh now then he say like oh nowadays like it's all normal what ya it's common like there's no there's nothing wrong with it so you have to he legit say he was like err just you need to open up your mind then the aunty was like !aiya! no need no need I need grandchildren I need grandchildren ya


then I like then he say oh can adopt what like got so many other choice can ya ya that's why then she was like no no no no cannot that one no no err err my daughter all cannot cannot one


ya exactly,


ya that's that's true, that's very true, I also


ya ya ya ya ya ya ya exactly that's why I was also like telling someone I don't know who but I was telling someone how like I want to when like err when when I have a full-time job right


it doesn't even if the the kid is not here even if it's like overseas I want to like not adopt but like adopt in a sense I want to just provide them with the schooling and stuff ya ya sponsor ya that's that's the word ya sponsor oh she does it ah do it even though I don't like bring them up but I want to give them a proper education like a living


I want to do it I don't want to I don't want to do it in india oh I was thinking of like


, that's true also, but I want like those like who are really poor though


I mean, I mean I don't mind india also but, I don't know ah see how like I want to really those like who are really really poor err it's very heartbreaking to like see like child put into labour and all that at that early age ya ya exactly


probably like I want to, but, I feel like homeless people right it's their own, if they know because okay I was talking to my err one of my colleague in err UK lah because belfast got a lot of homeless people then I was asking him eh how come like so many homeless people here I thought the government like they give like unemployment like err benefits they get like at least like two hundred to seven hundred per month ya then how come they cannot find err a place


because the housing in belfast is not very expensive and then the uncle said right actually, err there is a free place for homeless people ya it's like a ya like this container kind of houses you know those you see in the movies ya it's legit like that he brought me to the place also like to just see like show


then it's legit like they don't even get rents from them like err it's just like government like give them the space to stay then they say oh they these people don't who are like staying right, they just say no they get the unemployment benefit they just spend it on like


drugs cigarettes and err alcohol, and then they they find they find, getting, like and they are still begging you know so they I don't wanna find the find, a joy in it


in begging money, very ya ya ya but then singapore you don't get unemployment benefits over there high over there they I mean seven hundred two hundred to seven hundred you can do a lot of things leh like in a month


there are like cheaper tesco is like fairprice lah like on the higher end but we have like places like sheng siong giant that are like way cheaper like you can get like, groceries for ya groceries for like cheap prices because I mean like


gas and all also not that expensive there so, it doesn't ya like because because most of them they spend most of their money on cigarettes of course those are going to cost you a lot yeah cigarettes is expensive there I don't know err how much but I heard like my friends like say


it's expensive it's expensive no lah <tamil>அந்த மாதிரி:antha maadiri</tamil> confirm singapore dollar it will be like thirteen fourteen around the same ya around the same but I think singapore they they have this like tax right I don't think there's a import tax there [orh] ah quite


ya but then the thing is people don't buy cigarettes there, they no they ya they use tobacco, err they roll their own tobacco and also they weed they ah yeah they get it from dealers lah they


they use weed lah, yeah even my my my like last time when I year one right when I was like in the student accommodation, I've seen like people deal in front of my eyes I was like eh what's going on like then I just see like they were like know getting the like secretly getting the at first I didn't understand until I asked my friend eh what they doing sia then after that they were like oh they dealing weed then I was like oh that's the they legit you know the guy the guy will like wear the cap then beanie !wah!


but he will show his face cause they all friends mah yeah but apparently right in UK it's not illegal in a sense it's not illegal certain parts it's in


but UK right it's illegal it's like lawfully illegal but then ah if you're caught right you you will get a first warning it's not like in singapore immediately if you get caught is like death penalty or like


yeah eh yeah that's true but over there is like they you get off with a warning first lah then <tamil>அதுக்கு அப்ரம்:athukku apram</tamil> if you still do it I think they said , a few weeks of suspension or some ah like just like community service that kind first then <tamil>அதுக்கு அப்ரம்:athukku apram</tamil> if they still continue


then of course lah you Kena jail, they like close one eye, like eh eh even though like lawfully it's oh a lot a lot ya most of it is under age some more


I also don't know ya ya I don't even like the smell like some of my friends because like we had this tree house like a gathering place for like all the


it's like a main gathering ah ah the the people staying in the accommodation, so usually me and my friends we hangout there mah then you can actually smell the weed like they will the the few people that it's mostly pakistanis and those arabs


that, they smoke weed ya ya ya ya they do it, I've never tried so I don't know uh but yeah like you can you can literally like when you enter that place right the smell of weed I will feel like puking I really don't like ya I freak I don't like it's like it's like one kind of pungent you know it's just it's not very hard to yeah it's very hard to describe it but it's just this very weird then you will see all their eyes right literally red sia


then like ya stone ya ya ya


, [orh], [orh] ah ah


(uh huh) [orh]


like how ah legit


so you you tend to forget about your problems err you just you're not there at the present state that's all, how long does it take to recover


, ya


that's true that's true not too bad like six dollars per person ya that's okay what,


, I am happy you came


oh from Serangoon oh then fifty two, oh is it


I thought one six one or one six eight to school oh to SIM SIM [orh] okay okay okay understandable [orh] , all the red line lah basically


, , that's true,


oh ya err you said you wanted to get airpods or airpods or apple watch, very useful ya


for me it's useful because I track my yeah I exercise and I track my steps so sometimes I don't bring my phone right like working or what like you cannot always your you won't always be on your phone so you just like like when I'm not on my phone then it helps me track my steps properly


and then while I working I cannot use my phone also what so the notification ah for mine I cannot type because mine is like the first first generation like the the very first one so I cannot type out but then just liked seeing okay if there's any important messages or if any calls or anything then I wouldn't know because it would be on my in my pocket what


so you just like it's very helpful in that way, ya


(uh huh)


(uh huh), err you want take the circle life M one oh


oh, but why you want to pay forty five, you need so many gigabytes meh


how how you all use so much


like I also use four G but, [orh] because maybe because I stay at home err quite a lot you go out but you use four G at home also is it, ah [orh] oh


[orh] okay okay [orh] okay okay makes sense, , pre-download everything ya ya


, next year two years ya probably two years time


(uh huh), you like all those like police like law (uh huh)


what is it about


is it on netflix


[orh] okay okay, CBS all that lah what website, ya ya because I I like like for me right I'm more of like I don't really like romance romance TV series I mean like you have a bit of romance


uh, [orh] okay okay


, [orh]


eh you don't watch korean dramas anymore ah ya I want to watch that also


[orh] the it's okay not to be okay I okay I was watching it right then I'm like no I've been on episode three for like two weeks now because no the thing is like I mean I only watch it while I'm on the way to work lah after that I don't really have time ya ya


but then my my colleague right she asked me to watch then after that she also like towards the end right she say it's very draggy and boring I cannot


[orh]


[orh] [orh] , ah ya ya [orh]


ah ya uh (uh huh)


ah, [orh] okay that's


, ya eh actually I saw those like quote where someone said


err it's the like heart like if the person changes you for the better then that means he's a keeper or like she's a keeper


that's true , I know that's ya that's not that's not the better


ya ya that's true, [orh]


uh boyfriend ya ya ya oh ya you told me, you don't have to worry about having kids now


ya


, that's true then how's the prospect going


!huh! so that's all lah, (mmhmm)


effort ya probably he is like, I don't mind getting married if it comes it comes if it doesn't come it doesn't come , ya ya


guys also ya


of course ya ya oh I mean the #ang moh# all very easy lah they they I mean because like a lot of #ang moh# #ang mohs# right they


how to say they like those of them, most of them are like err already, they are like how to say divorced or like single parent, so they don't mind


they they don't really mind like being married again, you know, so, ya so it's funny how like even even even koreans you see like a lot of them get married like forty


forty-ish, because for them a lot of people they they their culture they have a lot of people who are who have that mindset so they they have people but then our culture we don't have that kind of


, , ya need to ya ya ah that's that's true


you can take care of ya that's not gonna be possible for me so I've no choice but to do it on my own but but you still have your cousins I mean you are still close to your cousins you have your nieces and nephews


easier for you ya for me I have my I don't I don't even like I have already like


so that niece and nephew I mean, probably I won't even never talk to them ever again so, because I I just feel very use lah because since young right when I think now I think about it right it's damn it's not like I don't I never felt the genuine connection or like genuine like under the love the affection


so it's always like very superficial like they want to use me for something that's all <tamil>பேருக்கு என்கூட பழகரது:paerukku enkooda pazhagarthu</tamil> you know that kind of thing there was no like, in a way lah, the the older general of course it's all money money money like you don't give money


I don't talk to you like you have no use for me so <tamil>நான் எதுக்கு:nan edhukku</tamil> you're not my family anymore


uh [orh] uh then how did she how did she take care of your parents


then but then your grandfather never don't have any <tamil>சொத்து:sothu</tamil> or anything

I don't know why but fishermen are mostly christians , ya and then there's my mother who she doesn't even know any hindu tradition like her family they don't know


she only learnt after getting married to my father and yet they don't follow it


oh exactly ya some of the things I find it very ridiculous ya ya

yes, yeah it is fine just not err red colour red is too loud okay I clap ah one two three


, hello Anisha <tamil>ெப்டி இருக்க:epdi irukka</tamil> is it


nice


#tau hu# <tamil>போட்டு:pottu</tamil> like <tamil>காஞ்ச உடன் போட்டு:kaanja udan idichu potu</tamil> like Sothi <tamil>மாதிரி செஞ்சுருந்தாங்க:maadiri senjurnthaanga</tamil> so


her's is the cold storage so is the more premium cold storage because she lives in kovan kovan has both NTUC and cold storage so


she bought like the normal cheese I think but she was very unhappy cause it's little bit watery but for me it's actually more than good enough because it tasted really good like it's not very jelak at all so like ya lah it tasted very very nice


ya better than nothing ah


the biscuit base is actually very nice hor ya that's why I like I like no bake cheesecake better also cause I feel like it cuts down on the Jelakness of the cake lah so it's like, better than you know the normal cheesecake lor but I don't know how you manage to eat the cheesecake sia like very


like very jelak leh then like like I know Anisha loves cheesecake also so is like, time for you to introduce aussie words


I think she likes though, last time or is it, I know our entire cliques love our entire clique loves cheesecakes, yeah except for me like I'm the only one that doesn't eat cheesecake like yeah oreo cheesecake


it's amazing I only tried the starbucks one, I actually like starbucks cakes ya I actually like starbucks cakes, actually everything in starbucks is nice is like even the breakfast sandwich and all is not too bad also sia


oh their chicken pot pie, you know Canna was telling me cause canada is near america right that's where starbucks is from and then she was saying that it's only like US four dollars or like US three dollars something like that for their americano and all that then I was like I mean if you convert to singapore dollars it's actually six dollars which is the same lah like you get what I mean so it's just that when you work over there if you earn two point five K you are gonna count it as like one dollar that kind of thing you're not going to compare it with any other currencies ah so


like almost is the same lah it's not like they're exorbitantly like increasing the price like no business nobody business you know, like it's almost the same like I had this boy in the zoo he bought the lego blocks and then he was like you know in london it's only five pounds then I was like I mean if you convert the five pounds to singapore dollars it's like ten dollars what


like almost last time ya it's almost the same so I mean almost two times so it's like you know like you get it why the price is like that some more they will charge like import fees and all that so that's additional like two three four five dollars depends on what cargo they use and they're selling at the zoo which means they will put another five dollars on top


so it's like it's gonna be that kind of exorbitant price lor what do you expect right


like all these taxes is it, , [orh] you mean in other countries lah [orh] [orh] in singapore [orh] is different uh before GST [orh]


yeah I mean now like one meal outside will average cost you ten dollars so like and but half of the food they serve outside can be made at home like even soup and all that also you just buy the little blender the the hand blender and then you can make the soup at home and all also


yeah it's only like exotic stuff like maybe like Teppanyaki and all that that you can't really make at home and korean barbeque also now you can make it at home in america they sell the grill and all that here also they selling, !wah! that's quite cheap oh her house eat korean barbeque ah [orh]


[orh] they have oh she's not the only sibling is it !wow! I didn't expect that, she doesn't look like the kind of a girl that has like many siblings !wow!


oh she's a, lesbian [orh] that's cool, then the parents are very open with it ah so nice right I mean it's like like I said in the previous time we recorded is the children's happiness that matter the most lah ya


even though it will take you awhile to adapt it's like their happiness that matters the most, (mmhmm)


like that just very openly [orh] [orh] [orh] he's like his friends who are girls lah okay okay


kick her out of the house ya that's what [orh]


is it the one with the business ah okay okay ya


so common , open up your mind, ya they always they always say that kind of thing I mean girl can conceive lah girl nothing wrong like like girl can just borrow sperm and then conceive ya


not my child that's what my mum will say adopted children not my children then I was like err children are blessing wherever they come from so no matter what form they come from you're suppose to like accept them the way they are unless they are like disability and all that that one you have the choice to like


err choose to abort if you want to lah like you know but like normal children like that who are already like they're living on the streets for so many years like it's you know it's good to actually like foster them and all that yeah, I would love to foster if I can cause it's not a permanent commitment what it's just like you know I mean I'm not saying it in a bad way but like you just cater for them until they go to school or whatsoever and then like they're back to


whatever place they were staying at initially ya just like that few years of guidance for them lah and then they're back to like you know


oh okay okay it's called sponsoring lah that one and my mother does it also ya ya but it's through like an organisation lah which I don't trust lah so I prefer like to go and do it there myself ya


but you can do it for the kids in india because like you don't want do in india that's what my brother ask me to start he was like I think you should start from india cause there are a lot of poor kids there and you know the language so is like you know easier for you to ya


don't say africa africa is very extreme is very hard to permeate into the market, like into the country yeah, africa some of them are not even accessible at all so is like is very hard so I but you can start with like latin america lah like you know like


ya philippines got a lot then like vietnam also most of the southeast asian countries actually got a lot so can


start from there actually everywhere around the world lah I mean even in london and all you see like homeless people and all on the streets everywhere, (uh huh) homeless


benefits and all that ah ah that's good what ya house ya


homeless ya it's like a shelter ya I've seen it in dramas before ya (uh huh), (mmhmm)


then they don't do anything about it, drugs and all that yeah


no is ya cause they don't have to work too hard for their money yeah but I mean even like I think mcdonald's job also and all that I am sure they will hire people in a way so it's like


it's not like our country where the jobs are really very stringent is like there I'm sure like you can do any sort of thing like open up your business and all that also and then like you know yeah definitely not lah because the our unemployment rate is not so high as they are so cannot give the benefit also yeah precisely tesco is so cheap like you don't even need to get like very expensive


ready made food right ah


, just really matters on what they want to do lah is cigarettes very expensive there same as singapore is it like thirteen dollars one packet [orh]


[orh] it's expensive maybe it's for them it's expensive lah but maybe it's like what six dollars or seven dollars one one pack same lah around the same lah


no the thing is ours including the tax is thirteen dollars so theirs is like no tax and it's thirteen dollars then you know it's like purposefully like they put it that way, they steal roll their own


use weed instead weed is cheaper right , yeah I've seen it and shows


ya the beanie the hoodie


ya I mean like have to see the face lah Sekali it's like a ghost dealing you how ya ya it's not in america and all it's not illegal also certain parts are not


[orh] of course lah cause here you try not to advocate the use of like drugs glue sniffing and all that


, in school from school [orh]


I mean I think it's cause like they have too many cases that they cannot handle already so it's like so is like they just give up lor like either you go to jail you pay a fine or you do community service that's it lor


don't know why they start so young also lah I mean not like you very stress at that age what right, like why you start so young like people like hannah all is different cause they just do it when they're partying and like that's about it they don't like do it as a daily kind of a thing it's like maybe like once in a month or twice in a month like that only but like these people they do it everyday it's like so harmful for the body I think it's really your mental strength lah at the end of the day ya


your university people is it uh


ya actually is quite common so called occurrence in their country like Dubai and all is like they do it like Shisha and all is from them what ya Shisha is okay is not too bad


you should try smell the weed already it's worser it's worser than cigarettes smell right ya it's like you burning the grass


ya it just makes you stone that it doesn't make you high doesn't make you very like out of it its just stone you just like stay there that's it that's what Karvin told me anyways he was like it just makes you like, err like stone but if you take like LSD and all that then it will make you feel like psychedelic like you know like


little bit like you will see like colours and all that then I say that's what happened to me when I first took like tobacco gum, cause my tutor was trying to stop smoking then we were like we wanted to try his gum so we took one each


and then we went to buy our own at guardian then like err we had like I think three gums at the same time so it make you really feel like psychedelic like really the twitches in your head and everything so we were like oh my god the world look perfect for two hours I swear


the world look perfect for two hours no joke like everything is more peaceful everything is more calm more like serene and then like you don't really pay attention to the cars on the road you're more like just pay attention to what's in front of you that kind that's how you feel like I think when you do weed


like you just, no no no as in like err you just you're not there at the present state that's all, err depends on your liver and all that lah very quick lah for people like us because we are very young


but if you are older then you will have more trouble, like my helper can't even stay steady after drinking one can is like at that age you really cannot lah at this age is still okay this this is the age to try if you want to try but like after that is like


you know like you really can't do it I think we should take a cab later I check the price it was like eleven to twelve ya not too bad six dollar per person, yeah, we can just take a cab later


ya I should have came a bit earlier lah like eleven or what, but like honestly coming to Clementi, takes so long I swear so long, so the green line is so long I actually was thinking if I should just take bus from king albert park instead all the way just down but then like I was like


cause one six three honestly was very fast fifteen minutes I was there already it was fifty two that took, quite long, ya one six three is my connection to everything to the zoo to school to Clementi everything one six three is my connection


no SIM ya one six one is my connection if I want to go to like #choa chu kang# woodlands then like, yeah actually I feel that if I took one six one and I came it will have been a little bit faster


but like I mean it's okay better than nothing, yeah thankfully I have maggi for dinner can't spend money, for now, wait ah


ya what happen ya I don't know whether I should get, like I see the apple watch so nice leh but if I look at the uses of it is not very useful in a sense it's just more of like an accessory to your


exercise [orh] ya app steps


ya then if you can see like messages like you can type like very short messages out [orh] the very first


and I think like airpods will feel very weird also cause like there's no wire to it so like you are so afraid that it's not like sudio and all that the buds where stick it into your ear you know this one is a bit I was thinking whether I should get like the sudio ones instead cause I can just like pair with my phone like there's a colleague at the zoo that uses sudio earbuds with the iphone eleven pro


ya so I was thinking like more of that only next year I will change phone I'm gonna go on a SIM only plan for like next year so I only pay like twenty dollars per month because the phone is fine and I don't have enough to, change my phone so I just like and I don't want to pay like eighty dollars every month lah honestly so I just like maybe just go SIM only first


no I err I think I will stick with M one cause I check with them is twenty dollars for thirty gigabyte and then if you add another twenty five dollars is eighty gigabyte yeah so is really not bad but I thinking whether I should pay like forty five dollars and there's no commitment to SIM only plan you can take for as long as you want and just cut it off so it's like there's not much commitment with


eighty actually no leh I think for now I have I use thirty five already not too bad lah like thirty five so I think thirty should be okay, I don't know mine just [orh] I think it's because I use four G so it just flies


I mean I also stay at home quite a lot what err sometimes like at night when I watching youtube and all that right sometimes use cause my mother always wants the modem to be off-ed when it's no longer in use ya so like every night from eleven or twelve onwards to eight in the morning she ons her laptop it will be off


ya so as in I sleep only at five right sometimes so like I use all the way ya but for now I just use netflix lah like cause I watching suits right so I just download pre-download everything then I watch I don't really I haven't watch youtube in like one month two months I think I'm just waiting for all the videos to accumulate of my artiste then


I will go back and watch after I'm done with suits cause all my chicago series is also over they are not filming anymore, cause of the COVID they're supposed to continue filming this month but they can't do it cause of COVID, so I think the next time those shows actually release their new seasons will be like ya end of next year or next year ya then like I already watch


police and med medicine so I only have fire and fire is eight season justice is one season so ya law police shows but I don't like law and order and all that I think it's too draggy, chicago like is the chicago franchise is from the same director the law and order director but he made it so nice and tight into like one franchise so is like nice to watch and I honestly I like the actors for police


and PD lah police and med I like the actors so like I think med med is just like it's a emergency department so like all the emergency cases go to them police is intelligence department so the intelligence


like they do cases then they have a teeny weeny bit of romance in between and all that ya then they have quite nice, character development among, the characters no because they're under NBC is it NBC I think they are under NBC so they don't do netflix ABC NBC CBS all don't do netflix


so you can watch it on I got like some website lah you can watch it on that it's called soap today later I show you it's like soap today it's nice lah it's like later I show you a guy like you won't believe his age but like later I show you and he resembles a singaporean artiste


ya later I show you but he's like latin lah he's puerto rican but he looks so much like the indian fella oh my god it's like, no joke, ya lah so I watched all of those now I think I'll watch good doctor before I go back to watch


the chicago franchise cause good doctor only got three season, so, always wanted to watch good doctor ever since I watch the korean one so yeah so I was like cause I like Juwon, Juwon is one of my favourite so like I'm gonna go watch the english version freddy is it freddie mercury no lah it's someone else freddy something something he's the one that acted not really ah I stop already but there's like the is it the world of the married I want to watch like I want to continue watch


yeah I haven't like watch all the #kim soo hyun# all I haven't watch yeah I haven't watch all those you gave up ah how come you just can't bring yourself to finish it [orh] oh ya you are quite busy with work now when I was at the zoo also I


barely had any time to watch all my shows ya, ya it's very draggy but you just watch it finish for the fact that it's a korean show but I don't know how agnes all right she's she watches four shows at the same time


yeah I don't know how she does that with work also she's like it's some more her work is like she need to do OT a lot sometimes she'll go back home and then she will continue working for the first year that she was working is going to be one year now already as of ah as of today is one year exactly so


she like for the first six months she was doing OT every day because she she didn't know how to do her job it's sales like sales budgeting and all that which we are not taught in our degree what, then she and some more is canon right so canon sell a lot of products right so she has to like do budgeting for all and then she said it is it was very difficult so she have to OT a lot but the
