err, which girl, no [orh], no lah where got girl what you talking but I think you more girl than me ah


[orh] morganfield <mandarin>那个牛肉:na ge niu rou</mandarin> or <mandarin>猪猪肉:zhu zhu rou</mandarin> I think right


per person right I heard it's very expensive ah, !wah! that's damn shag man


what happen ah is it the one that you give flowers to ah


but we shall see ah Sekali ah, she's the one that is transcribing this recording eh and you hear everything how


!aiyo! okay your name is <P2>jovin ho</P2> ah okay lor okay, but err, see style right err nothing much to do eh also, eh we are trying to earn the money, nothing much to say


if you have three wishes what will you wish for


donation donate like which uh run for cancer, or what which kind of charity organisation that <mandarin>你在想:ni zai xiang</mandarin> donate to, [orh] actually voluntary work is I have been volunteering quite often like


but you see from another perspective let's say we say you


err take and go sometimes <mandarin>你可以学到去一点:ni ke yi xue dao qu yi dian</mandarin> excursion ah, or <mandarin>跟老人家讲话:gen lao ren jia jiang hua</mandarin> sometimes it's actually quite meaningful I would say because


it help you sometime it it help yous to become more happier as a person I believe so according to, psychology, eh <mandarin>我明天:wo ming tian</mandarin> tomorrow I have one more one voluntary work <mandarin>明天:ming tian</mandarin> at is giving out err


care pack and vouchers, Kop <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> ah


okay lah actually in community service I for me right uh, I in community service, I always truly believe in that volunteer welfare come first


cause everytime <mandarin>我做:wo zuo</mandarin> community work ah, let's say I am the organiser especially with school ah the budget damn low one when do community service


there will definitely be short for volunteers, ya so, ya so that's why I strongly believe in that ah


so whenever that the cause ultimately all these people that come and, do community service <mandarin>是来帮我们的:shi lai bang wo men de</mandarin> mah they are not paying anything so <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> at most pay for a meal, or maybe for transport


then sometime he will send us home using his car so ya, ya so is, ya for me my chairman, he has been serving community for the past <mandarin>十五:shi wu</mandarin> already


he is twenty nine this year by the way he is ACCA certified ah, so he he, ya he do accountancy SP graduate


what you mean by embezzlement, uh ya but [orh] ultimately he go quite far leh maybe you can be like him too what one day


serve the community and also earn a lot you know he he's twenty nine and he have a car, plus one more thing he's married also


and <mandarin>他结婚:ta jie hun</mandarin> to a nurse, so now during COVID ah most of the time ah he her his wife also, very busy ah helping with the COVID patient and all


ya true ah so and then community service ah <mandarin>需要人:xu yao ren</mandarin> ah like need people ah then I will see her wife come ah her wife is also, quite a nice person uh they met in university also, ya, so here are some interesting things lah about community service maybe if interested I can call more of your friends to join


and good networking opportunity ah


but <mandarin>有时在家里没有东西做:you shi zai jia li mei you dong xi zuo</mandarin> mah <mandarin>吃饱起来睡觉:chi bao qi lai shui jiao</mandarin> like boring at least you go out more entertaining like, imagine ah instead of going sleeping ah you go club ah so instead of going to club you do community service mah, who say community service <mandarin>也是很好玩的:ye shi hen hao wan de</mandarin> depends on


how you see it lor, ya, but anyway since we were speaking our three wishes ah you say about getting rich and also, uh you will say money lah


if I have three wishes definitely <mandarin>我也是要有变有钱:wo ye shi yao you bian you qian</mandarin> basically ah I just need to win, TOTO ah <mandarin>中一次就好了:zhong yi ci jiu hao le</mandarin> just one time, maybe


ya just one time good one then !wah! after that after that I will, spend my money, then after that uh buy a house buy a car then after that I think I believe that I'm all set for the rest of my life and can retire already


ya correct actually uh talking about investing ah


and if hor you see ah COVID came around, march, ya so the stock price in march ah plunge a lot you know, in march then after that everybody selling mah, so some stock from one dollar drop to twenty cent that kind of thing


then after that ah in in after april and and may ah it increases you know up to one dollar two dollar, so imagine you buy at twenty cent ah at around one thousand dollar


ya, ya that's why, !huh! eh speaking of SIA ah <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> singapore airline <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> stock right ah, it's actually rebounded quite a bit ah but, from our I think ah it it was selling at a share of three twenty before that now is around three eighty already


so, or or <mandarin>六十:liu shi</mandarin> I, ya so imagine !wah! that one is uh <mandarin>就就赚大:jiu jiu zhuan da</mandarin> Liao lor during COVID


err six dollars then by then you earn a lot already ah but, ya so <mandarin>还久:hai jiu</mandarin> lor


ya we take and go and see how lor, but I think hor right this conversation right we can slow down the pace a bit, the transcriber also <mandarin>不用一直打这样多:bu yong yi zhi da zhe yang duo</mandarin> and all, like we we talk a bit ah we pause one second then we carry on talking


but we we cannot overlap each other you know, ya we try not to overlap each other also during our conversation, okay, so maybe let's talk about okay back to the three wishes again ah


so I I talk about one only mah <mandarin>就是有钱:jiu shi you qian</mandarin> ah, so maybe my second wish, would be, to find a girlfriend ah , if as long as I got money I should have a girlfriend already right


true lah I agree ah, so maybe, okay finding a girlfriend true love true love means I can wish true love, then for maybe for my third wish


oh ya maybe okay lah, get rich true love and maybe, err healthy ah healthy is more important also lah or


true ah health is wealth maybe the third wish ah is you don't die at all lah, then I think that will be definitely be a good, three wish to use but you're smart ah three wish ask for ten more wish


actually is a <mandarin>很好的:hen hao de</mandarin> idea, !wah! then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> genie <mandarin>不是很忙:bu shi hen mang</mandarin> lor <mandarin>每天:mei tian</mandarin> hor !wah! you got one wish must !wah! Kaboom one more wish the other wish


ya, but now I see that you are, betting some what tottenham and reading, [orh] how to see <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> score ah or what what what is tottenham or which country are there from


[orh] so club friendly game if is <mandarin>踢爽:ti shuang</mandarin> means that err


if they win means win lose win lose don't have like trophy or anything lah, oh I see so for football ah how to see ah so if like half-time is how many minute ah


ah ha I see so like full-time <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> ninety


ah I see but hor err football one team <mandarin>有几个:you ji ge</mandarin> player ah


[orh] including the goalkeeper, [orh] then one game got how many <mandarin>几个:ji ge</mandarin> referee ah


oh


oh ya sia two zero I think the odds <mandarin>很像是:hen xiang shi</mandarin> like fifty dollars ah if korea win


!wah! that's a lot ah, imagine <mandarin>你花五块钱:ni hua wu kuai qian</mandarin> the rate <mandarin>五十:wu shi</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>两百五十:liang bai wu shi</mandarin> two hundred fifty dollars man, ah I see eh by the way <mandarin>我看到你这边:wo kan dao ni zhe bian</mandarin> right <mandarin>有一个:you yi ge</mandarin> tottenham and reading right the top score is four to one but below got one three to <mandarin>零:ling</mandarin> ah what is that


okay, [orh], ah I see so you mean uh forty five minute is three to zero lah then after that the next forty five minute <mandarin>他们就:ta men jiu</mandarin> one to one


ah, can consider lah I think <mandarin>蛮:man</mandarin> interesting ah <mandarin>这样看那个:zhe yang kan na ge</mandarin> football gambling I mean , can <mandarin>试试看一下:shi shi kan yi xia</mandarin> lor


sure when <mandarin>打麻将:da ma jiang</mandarin> quite, okay lah then no not a problem lah unless <mandarin>你跟我讲一块两块十块二十块:ni gen wo jiang yi kuai liang kuai shi kuai er shi kuai</mandarin> !wah! that one lose a lot eh


ah recently I got one friend ah err play like twenty thirty dollars sia, ya one


, [orh] I see okay by the way tottenham and reading now four one ah okay what you bet just now ah


oh so <mandarin>刚现在都五:gang xian zai dou wu</mandarin> Liao right so that's mean you win quite a bit already right, ah I see so how much is the odd ah


[orh] I see actually quite a lot ah hundred to seventy dollars, ah I see okay lah but at least got win mah today means not bad got Huat Huat a bit


so for this game ah any interesting player like #cristiano ronaldo# or any people interesting ah like, !wah! like <mandarin>每次看:mei ci kan</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>都有很多:dou you hen duo</mandarin> famous player ah


ah, ya Messi, !wah! means it's call AOS right or something like that


eh oh ya I recently read read the news ah <mandarin>看到:kan dao</mandarin> that Messi is going to another team but


ah eh but talking about football ah two famous player <mandarin>一个是:yi ge shi</mandarin> #cristiano ronaldo# the other one is Messi which one do you think it's better player


oh I see


oh I see, so eh recently ah today you got watch YouTube or not ah blackpink


err ice cream ah <mandarin>很像是:hen xiang shi</mandarin> I can't really remember ah, ya ice cream uh it's a, uh it's a collaboration with with selena Gomez ah


no lah I where got like K-pop BTS I mean today I just happen to, scroll YouTube then <mandarin>看到:kan dao</mandarin> eh blackpink <mandarin>突然间:tu ran jian</mandarin> live leh like premiering something


then I go and click and see oh blackpink having a new MV with selena Gomez but one interesting thing is that this whole music ah, it's all english it's not korean ha


ya so ya it's all <mandarin>英文:ying wen</mandarin> [orh] cause selena Gomez is inside also mah, ya


BTS <mandarin>一样有名:yi yang you ming</mandarin> eh, ya but blackpink is not global phenomenon meh


ah I see so <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> in terms of K-pop what what do you know about K-pop leh


ya that's right, so, ya I study uh tourism


ya damn tired ya now because of COVID now a lot of hotel retrenching all my friends ah that come out from tourism ah they cannot find job, some working some sleeping at home some like me lah find trash collector job lor


eh but speaking of <mandarin>那个倒垃圾:na ge dao la ji</mandarin> ah I have seen, uni student business also come and <mandarin>倒垃圾:dao la ji</mandarin> twenty nine years old eh, ya I also have seen people's restaurant


I mean definitely I I don't feel scared because it's still a job definitely as a trash collector imagine ah, who our who will clean your trash at home that you throw down the the the rubbish chute singapore will definitely be in a mess


so but anyway, you're welcome ah <mandarin>客气:ke qi</mandarin> ah but err I really respect them lah after working this job cause it's really not easy rain or shine


no matter what and no matter how hot is it ya you just have to <mandarin>真的去做:zhen de qu zuo</mandarin> lor no choice ah


maybe later we can eat, sure I think it's a good idea okay <mandarin>吃:chi</mandarin> seven eleven but, speaking of that <mandarin>我皮包是没有钱:wo pi bao shi mei you qian</mandarin> ah my pay will be coming in around september so thanks for the treat


ya definitely ya, but hor we are only halfway there throughout our first recording ah <mandarin>我们要再接再厉:wo men yao zai jie zai li</mandarin> ah


at most hor <mandarin>我每次我讲一个字:wo mei ci wo jiang yi ge zi</mandarin> right you pause for one second like that, by the way check if your phone is it recording or not ah


ah okay okay very good very good, so right usually ah when I see the transcribe I people talk a bit ah then pause then carry on a bit


so ah the transcriber got some time to to transcribe ah, ya lah depends on, what the person is talking and typing lor some people ah talk very fast ah very hard sia


so it's easier for transcriber, so ya we can just slowly talk and, no hurry lah, anyway slowly ah later we run out of content ah nothing to talk


eh but now hor you see ah <mandarin>我们讲了这样多:wo men jiang le zhe yang duo</mandarin> hor, we only talk not a lot also ah actually maybe got more topic to talk ah


eh but hor I think hor err recently ah, okay let's see, recently I see err trump and china relationship ah


oh <mandarin>我没有读:wo mei you du</mandarin> ah actually I mean just happen to see on your screen here mah, K ah maybe err, !wah! NBA player I heard that you like NBA is it what's NBA ah


[orh] <mandarin>美国:mei guo</mandarin> michael some one one of the person die in the helicopter crash ah <mandarin>谁:shui</mandarin> ah, oh, oh so is what uh kobe bryant


so michael jordan and uh kobe bryant was quite a basketball star, so who is better, ah I see eh but can show me the picture of like michael jordan ah <mandarin>他长长得怎么样:ta chang chang de zen me yang</mandarin> ah


[orh] so for kobe bryant <mandarin>就是他比:jiu shi ta bi</mandarin> michael jordan <mandarin>矮:ai</mandarin> lah


oh so what is shooting guard ah


oh I see so do you play basketball yourself too, oh I see so


games ah, oh ya lah I still remember I use annie the teddy bear


ya but err but you still play league of legend, oh ya but anyway I play ya league of legend eh sorry


but but however all these everytime I play game especially shooting game ah, like CS go ah or or of PUBG ah, or DOTA ah before <mandarin>我进去:wo jin qu</mandarin> hor


I don't know I tried a lot of rounds eh I go in ah haven't start ah !wah! people shoot me already eh !wah! <mandarin>死:si</mandarin> ah, ya sia but do you play any games like, mobile legend


ah I see, [orh] honestly ah <mandarin>我现在是:wo xian zai shi</mandarin> like, cash asset is less than hundred dollars


ya that's why I but anyway my saving now I planning when I have money coming in ah, I'm planning to go into stock market and try try lah ultimately


you must lose or risk something to be able to gain profit, ya, ya so try try <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> lor see how it goes lah


err ya so, you never know lah how how it'll turn out in terms of stock especially in like <mandarin>这种情形:zhe zhong qing xing</mandarin> in COVID, so


err looking at your, computer right now uh what you looking at, I see so you bet on these two


oh ya sia <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> mask hor !wah! really difficult sia, ya some more breathing very difficult, and ya <mandarin>一讲要倒垃圾:yi jiang yao dao la ji</mandarin> right <mandarin>也要戴:ye yao dai</mandarin> mask ah ya very tiring


but some more ah got one time rain ah two days rain ah when I wearing mask ah everything ah then my mask all, soak sia, uh it's not hard to breathe lah when it's dry sometimes raining then my whole mask wet you know basically I sucking in water into my nose ah


ya but in the end I take out my mask lah in the end cause it's strenuous exercise also mah running around collecting rubbish, ya but at first I !wah! I was sucking in water ah when it's raining ah in in the mask


okay lah err , no choice lah <mandarin>做工:zuo gong</mandarin> mah, err what movie did I watch ah


I think yesterday I watch the, the <mandarin>电影:dian ying</mandarin> is train to Busan ah, ya


but I come to part two ah like <mandarin>有一点闷:you yi dian men</mandarin> ah like, the movie like a bit slow


oh ya lah honestly I I I I won't recommend you to watch it lah cause it's basically, fast and furious


ya but however whenever I see the the the show ah the content ah is more of, they car the car racing against each other ah, ya it's rarely much of it's rarely <mandarin>有很多:you hen duo</mandarin> zombie to <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> ah <mandarin>很少:hen shao</mandarin> ah


ya I would rather <mandarin>你去看那个:ni qu kan na ge</mandarin> uh fast and furious <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> next episode ah I think


so far we talk about <mandarin>四十二分钟:si shi er fen zhong</mandarin> ah <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> still have about <mandarin>十五分钟:shi wu fen zhong</mandarin> to go, , <mandarin>十五岁的时候:shi wu sui de shi hou</mandarin> what happen sia


go to school study but I feel that right moving on from, secondary school to poly ah seems like poly is easier than


okay ah ya I agree, if I could rewind time, I will rewind time to


err so handsome who dare to attack you sia


we shall talk about that the next time then, but uh <mandarin>好料以后才有的分享:hao liao yi hou cai you de fen xiang</mandarin> mah now talk ah nothing much to say ah if I say everything, but anyways, uh secondary school I find it tougher than poly because, I took one module call what A math ah


ya I, ah but lucky ah lucky you never take if not I really study saturday sunday ah


err okay lah I think A math


is easier than A math in, but however


you the question that they come out ah, is another thing ah means they teach A they teach B ah the question come out, you must apply A B C D E F G ah to solve question F lah something like that lah


ya cause it's easier mah


ya so maybe ah err for the if we get approved for this ah <mandarin>我们每天讲十二个小时:wo men mei tian jiang shi er ge xiao shi</mandarin> okay, for twelve hours straight lah


okay lah hopefully we we get approve ah then after that we will talk and talk, they can improve things


in the future but however <mandarin>想想看:xiang xiang kan</mandarin> hor, without AI right our life might not be that easy as well


but at the same time uh uh usually jack Ma once said that, AI can never replace <mandarin>人:ren</mandarin> human because we human created AI


AI, can never replace human because we human create AI, AI won't have the personal touch they won't have feelings, but unlike human so this is the theory of jack Ma lah but


uh AI will definitely, be better than human as well so it's quite a debatable topic as well what do you think


ah I see so, oh ya <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> Tesla car <mandarin>就是那个:jiu shi na ge</mandarin> automatic car that


no need to driver one right, eh <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> leh cause recently I saw YouTuber naomi ah, just bought a purple Lamborghini ah


oh ya sia <mandarin>二十四岁就有一个:er shi si sui jiu you yi ge</mandarin> Lamborghini I also aspire to be like her before <mandarin>我当完兵:wo dang wan bing</mandarin> ah


eh actually it's a good idea ah, eh <mandarin>蛮威风:man wei feng</mandarin> leh <mandarin>驾:jia</mandarin> Lamborghini <mandarin>去读书:qu du shu</mandarin> imagine that, ah I see, ya so hope lah <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I'm planning ah let's say if I invest stock ah all these imagine ah !wah! I can become a


millionaire before I finish NS ah, but also <mandarin>我在做白日梦:wo zai zuo bai ri meng</mandarin> also lah but it's good to dream too


eh some more we twenty years old we got four more years to go to, ah correct correct


ah I see true lah but <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> for me when I play TOTO


I try to <mandarin>用一点:yong yi dian</mandarin> data analytics <mandarin>来玩玩一下:lai wan wan yi xia</mandarin> lah but, err okay lah <mandarin>不会赢很多:bu hui ying hen duo</mandarin> using data analytics <mandarin>也是有输了:ye shi you shu le</mandarin> quite a bit also


ah by the way <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> after


eh but I also remember ah you say <mandarin>去做老师:qu zuo lao shi</mandarin> ah like geography ah mister Chan ah remember, taught us geography he's a NS what, ya he was regular I remember he sign on as regular eh then after that retire like <mandarin>做老师:zuo lao shi</mandarin> he stay in landed property okay


ya ya he teach geography lor the things he learn in national service also mah


okay lah ya true lah actually, err, if go university what will you want to study eh


but, okay actually <mandarin>不会:bu hui</mandarin> lah but ultimately accountancy you planning to can take for ACCA


ah I see but I remember ah you know ah one of our friend ah, err name F ah, err her sister taking ACCA you know, ya but however I think she take about two three years still haven't complete ah


the test for ACCA not easy ah like very hard


ah I see but how many papers are there in AC I heard is <mandarin>大概十三个:da gai shi san ge</mandarin> paper, oh I see but now going NS ah how's your fitness level


okay lah silver still not bad eh I PES B P ah cannot even get a chance to take IPPT ah


ya correct lor <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> do two full years lor and see how it goes lah, but ultimately trust the process and hopefully <mandarin>我瘦下来:wo shou xia lai</mandarin> lor, where got eat so much I eat a bit only sia


I one day maybe eat, one bowl of rice <mandarin>一碗饭:yi wan fan</mandarin> and, we going eat supper later right


oh ya sia some more food delivery is a frontline job ah some more, uh food delivery is also very flexible like freelance <mandarin>你几时要做都可以做:ni ji shi yao zuo dou ke yi zuo</mandarin> you don't have to do, okay lah will be doing soon lah maybe next week when I free then <mandarin>看真么样:kan zhen me yang</mandarin> lor


oh how how's the registration account process


[orh]


ah I see, but actually not bad lah do foodpanda <mandarin>蛮好赚的:man hao zhuan de</mandarin> I think from what you say just now also


true lah true lah by the way time check now twelve forty two, going to end this soon our conversation is at about fifty six minutes right now, going to lah so <mandarin>蛮快的:man kuai de</mandarin> actually <mandarin>蛮一个钟头就这样过了:man yi ge zhong tou jiu zhe yang guo le</mandarin> eh


oh


oh ya true lah I think should be okay lah but, uh hopefully all works well and we get hired and get a better pay lah then this, supper ah <mandarin>等一下就:deng yi xia jiu</mandarin> maybe we will Grab home lor Grab <mandarin>回家:hui jia</mandarin> and see how lah


err when you want to meet again ah next time uh are we waiting for H X err, for the next meet up or how


[orh] sounds a good idea ah, but


uh eat dinner maybe tomorrow we can you heard of this #ce la vie#, at MBS, ya I think so ah maybe good idea ah maybe H X should


and #ce la vie# now got like fifty five percent discount ah because of <mandarin>国庆日:guo qing ri</mandarin> also, so ya I think can go #ce la vie# and eat tomorrow ah


uh maybe ah maybe if we don't go #ce la vie# ah we can go ritz carlton and eat the buffet ah like not bad ah I think, once H X come out <mandarin>出来当兵:chu lai dang bing</mandarin> ah <mandarin>他一定肚子蛮饿的:ta yi ding du zi man e de</mandarin> maybe, can ask him to treat also ah


okay ah I think maybe we can go and eat uh some, dinner oyster eh by the way oyster that time I eat with you together right at the holiday inn I remember, !wah!


means maybe ah the the hotel let in ah the oyster not clean ah <mandarin>不干净:bu gan jing</mandarin> eh, maybe err they never really follow the <mandarin>水准:shui zhun</mandarin> and protocol


!aiya! don't need worry lah <mandarin>里面:li mian</mandarin> I believe the <mandarin>食物:shi wu</mandarin> may not be that nice, but however definitely, eh but by the way uh you know how to end this conversation or not I just remembered I need to clap before you press the stop button eh


uh no we still got about twenty more seconds just let it roll a bit maybe <mandarin>讲多几句话:jiang duo ji ju hua</mandarin> and see how it goes lah, I think we can prepare to

, correct correct good health also ah to be honest


ya health is wealth, oh ya that's not wrong


both of them are from england, ya tottenham is a


quite a famous team ah reading is also a famous team so that's a actually a club friendly game [orh] means <mandarin>踢爽而已:ti shuang er yi</mandarin> ah, then


half-time is forty five minute excluding some injury time


so let's say someone get injured for like about thirty second then <mandarin>他们会补回那个:ta men hui bu hui na ge</mandarin> thirty second ah until it's fully the forty five, minute, ah, then in-between <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> break right the half-time ah


then


video assisted referee


!wah! you know south korea was the underdog you know germany is a powerhouse germany win world cup don't know how many time already eh, then south korea <mandarin>赢:ying</mandarin> germany two zero !wah! <mandarin>那场:na chang</mandarin> ah


provided you don't lose money ah, then <mandarin>上面的那个:shang mian de na ge</mandarin> score is before full-time the score means they still play <mandarin>现在八十三分钟:xian zai ba shi san fen zhong</mandarin> Liao mah


they need to play until ninety minute excluding extra time, so half-time score is three zero, then right now the current score is four one means half-time end Liao then <mandarin>他们再重新踢现在已经:ta men zai chong xin ti xian zai yi jing</mandarin> four one Liao


then at eighty three minute means they still got about seven minutes of playing time till full-time then the game will end, yes correct each scored one lor correct


actually betting is not a good way to earn money ah to be honest, it's just a leisure of leisure time lah like nothing to do, anyway talking about gambling want to play Mahjong soon

ya, I don't think he will get paid as much ah because he's also old already


to me ah I feel like it's #cristiano ronaldo#, because, he has scored many goals in different leagues the english premier league Serie A and also in the spanish #la liga#


means he has a set of standards for himself and he's able to perform everywhere he goes, and then some more <mandarin>他也赢过很多:ta ye ying guo hen duo</mandarin> champions league so he's quite a good player


cause I'm not a really a Messi fan I'm more of a #cristiano ronaldo# <mandarin>的一个:de yi ge</mandarin> fanboy

ya <mandarin>这:zhe</mandarin> poly <mandarin>有一点多一点:you yi dian duo yi dian</mandarin> freedom lah, but to be honest I don't really like, poly as much as secondary school secondary school really was one of the best times of my life, eh but if you can rewind time right where would you go to will you go back to poly primary school or secondary school


or do you have a specific time you want to be in again

working humans in the workforce like <mandarin>你看我读:ni kan wo du</mandarin> accountancy what, actually my job is quite susceptible sia to being replaced by AI, that's why <mandarin>觉得很像以后很像没有工作:jue de hen xiang yi hou hen xiang mei you gong zuo</mandarin> sia


<mandarin>真的失去很多工:zhen de shi qu hen duo gong</mandarin> sia


ya, to be honest ah, so <mandarin>有点像要:you dian xiang yao</mandarin>


the only thing I know about <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> AI is something ah <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> Tesla <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> electric car

ya sia didn't know time pass so fast eh, I think later we need to check on how to update the process ah but, we got set the the


to the correct format ah that's the most important part, downloading both of us got record that's enough already


ya <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> eh then <mandarin>我们吃完:wo men chi wan</mandarin> supper <mandarin>你要怎么回家:ni yao zen me hui jia</mandarin> sia, K ah


[orh] recently I got talk to him eh he say he going to book out tomorrow <mandarin>到时候明天我们去找他:dao shi hou ming tian wo men qu zhao ta</mandarin> lor


!wah! think about life also Sian ah, MBS


but I think <mandarin>他会请的:ta hui qing de</mandarin> right


ya <mandarin>到时候:dao shi hou</mandarin>


ya eh that time I got go the shangri-la the, the or is it mandarin oriental, their dinner buffet actually quite good one quite a lot of uh the oyster oyster [orh]


eat until !wah! diarrhoea sia I had to see a doctor the next day eh, Rabak already, ya


!wah! , imagine hotel food is like that ah, don't know go Tekong ah the food ah the cookhouse ah will be like what sia


K lor so do we end now


ya, thanks for transcribing this


in it


but <mandarin>你要换去哪哪一款的:ni yao huan qu na na yi kuan de</mandarin> bat, Butterfly isn't that the japanese brand is damn expensive leh


have the what sorry I I didn't get what you are saying yeah, !huh! sorry I I don't get it


oh as in uh is the new release four two oh two zero, okay, !wah! I think the guys will be so <mandarin>羡慕你:xian mu ni</mandarin> lor


and then they also have the weight difference so they actually have different weight because if you buy online ah you cannot tell <mandarin>那个多重吗那个:na ge duo zhong ma na ge</mandarin> racket but <mandarin>他那个:ta na ge</mandarin> chin chin <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> shop <mandarin>你可以看来一个是:ni ke yi kan lai yi ge shi</mandarin> sixty gram for example <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> seventy gram hor <mandarin>你就看哪个适合你:ni jiu kan nei ge shi he ni</mandarin> lor don't you think so


but <mandarin>我跟你讲:wo gen ni jiang</mandarin> hor <mandarin>这样的话你不是每次去:zhe yang de hua ni bu shi mei ci qu</mandarin> Clementi <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> Hougang <mandarin>里面打:li mian da</mandarin> lor <mandarin>那边的人可能会有用这些:na bian de ren ke neng hui you yong zhe xie</mandarin> racket <mandarin>你就去那边:ni jiu qu na bian</mandarin> err err, err <mandarin>问他们看可不可以试用:wen ta men kan ke bu ke yi shi yong</mandarin> lor


eh but <mandarin>这样子的话那个:zhe yang zi de hua na ge</mandarin> white elephant <mandarin>会多少钱:hui duo shao qian</mandarin> leh, sing dollar


!wah!


but can such racket last for so long


okay <mandarin>那个我有尝试一下接那个球:na ge wo you chang shi yi xia jie na ge qiu</mandarin> what I figure out what's that, err because it is a floating ball okay then if it's a floating ball and sometimes I will attempt to cut it, and if I cut it the ball naturally will fly out but I mean both I figure out just now was that <mandarin>如果我直接去:ru guo wo zhi jie qu</mandarin> err err


top spin but actually is not in fact you came back as a floating ball so for that I mean I didn't needed some time to react because now the whole pace of the game has changed drastically


eh a new cars <mandarin>就跟我学的提出想着:jiu gen wo xue de ti chu xiang zhe</mandarin> read very different leh because what I thought was that err, if if err I just look at the ball purely right you will be very deceptive because just now I thought it was your tactic to make the ball


but then err, I mean just now when I was seeing is not that case because it was actually a down spin ball but then it was having a high trajectory so I thought it was your your way to trick me, is that so


what happens


!wah! <mandarin>这样的话我我我觉得:zhe yang de hua wo wo wo jue de</mandarin> I've had so much more to learn I think sometimes maybe we must play err more frequently so that you will know roughly how to react to different balls what <mandarin>你你觉得:ni ni jue de</mandarin> leh


err, I think should okay so just now I was actually doing or a under spin I feel that, if you are confident enough you can attempt to loop the ball back which is


currently what I'm trying to do, because err by doing so it'll give you more control over the game


or maybe we should try


correct so I think what, okay so I mean what I'm trying to say that I think because I think that the back hand I I I more natural I'm a natural and back hand


so I think what happens is that I think okay if I punch right a bit quite interesting to note because actually from what I notice from my end right you manage to loop the ball back, from that angle


not really I think the punch thing in something which I if I thought I invented, !wah! <mandarin>这样子的话:zhe yang zi de hua</mandarin> isn't it


okay means I'm the the the pioneer batch lah


okay <mandarin>我我我:wo wo wo</mandarin> I get I agree with you because when I play with him, err sometimes err most of the time he will not use his forehand because <mandarin>我觉得他对他的反左也是比较有信心的:wo jue de ta dui ta de fan zuo ye shi bi jiao you xin xin de</mandarin> which is something, that I can relate to lah


<mandarin>我已经在尝试多用那个正手了:wo yi jing zai chang shi duo yong na ge zheng shou le</mandarin> forehand if you realized because <mandarin>你没有发觉我现一直在用:ni mei you fa jue wo xian yi zhi zai yong</mandarin> forehand try to <mandarin>用:yong</mandarin> forehand apply <mandarin>你那个球了:ni na ge qiu le</mandarin> mah


but I think ultimately


that's a interesting , a perspective actually <mandarin>因为我:yin wei wo</mandarin> I was I was telling myself, it is actually quite hard to, to to to play against err professionals, compared to to more amateur people like the uncles because


sometimes if you, if you were to play with someone very often okay then I think you more or less you know how to catch the ball I think this is something which amateurs do best because we just do by practice, but for yourself I think when you learn through the books right you can really understand like the dynamics like how <mandarin>那个球的判断那个旋转是怎样跑的然后你就应对一切看怎么去去去:na ge qiu de pan duan na ge xuan zhuan shi zen yang pao de ran hou ni jiu ying dui yi qie kan zen me qu qu qu</mandarin> err


<mandarin>我不懂:wo bu dong</mandarin> lah <mandarin>可能以后我多打再看咯因为我觉得我可能以后我多打再看咯因为我觉得我:ke neng yi hou wo duo da zai kan lo yin wei wo jue de wo ke neng yi hou wo duo da zai kan lo yin wei wo jue de wo</mandarin> hor


because I mean this is ah these are just false illusion it's like when you you are only good when you are able to like I mentioned just now be able to predict the ball and then to


it is something which I I I already in sort of like got used to it so I think eh moving forward I think you should try to rotate ya the way we play


!aiya! <mandarin>我们玩久了就会知道我其实我不知不觉我们:wo men wan jiu le jiu hui zhi dao wo qi shi wo bu zhi bu jue wo men</mandarin> hor I mean for myself <mandarin>我已经差不多:wo yi jing cha bu duo</mandarin> I've ever been playing around I think close to what more than one year already, !wah! miss our team has already been more than one year


plan out more and more events for the team lah


you can, but


!hey! <mandarin>如果这样:ru guo zhe yang</mandarin> ah <mandarin>如果每个人都很很积极的去那边玩:ru guo mei ge ren dou hen hen ji ji de qu na bian wan</mandarin> everyone is a very disciplined they they attend every session, then of course it's a good thing but ultimately must see that will there be any chance for you to play because that won't be there will be limited tables over there so I'm not sure whether would you all if there are a lot of people how would you all rotate like would you have to wait very long for the table


, eh but will you all also I mean so I mean okay eh it explains so basically you all will be playing a lot of err games lah will I say that


or you have all you do there is just to sit then that's why that's the reason why I ask you the question whether or not there will be opportunities for you to play lah I mean if that isn't then err going there will be quite


I see I mean but they they probably have quite good stamina right after all they <mandarin>不用工作吗:bu yong gong zuo ma</mandarin> so everyday they'll be playing and then they'll be quite, fit I would say


but I feel that <mandarin>那边有点阳盛阴衰就是说有:na bian you dian yang sheng yin shuai jiu shi shuo you</mandarin> there's not much ladies over there right how can how is it like that I mean of course the coach is a female I thought I would expected I would expected more like female players to be there as well


I mean as you get to be more exposed to more different players then you can get used to different styles and then it makes you more comfortable I think sometimes also when you are playing right you tend to be a bit nervous


right mean for myself as well very nervous so when we are very nervous we are likely not to be able to execute the the


I I've already been just now we also talked about the timing and then the strokes I mean of course the strokes if we learn that proper stroke right even if you learn the proper ones we might not be as good as them because I think ultimately is still falls back on the same thing like for example if you learn a theory in school


right but then ultimately is how we apply them which I think all these better players in your opinion right I think


mindful that !hey! I need to hit the ball at a certain spot but then for myself I mean


I see !wah! that that's sounds very tough it's quite ridiculous but I mean of course you need to to put in some effort before you can probably be successful at certain things lah I mean this very typical


but it sounds very satisfying but sometimes it's the feeling you get lah after probably I mean I agree with you after like


so during that that particular session what what did you learn


it's like the reverse pendulum serve lah, no no no it it's something which I say, no no no it's it's really something which can sometimes I tend to watch a lot of Youtube videos


I see, !wow! actually it is not easy, I think ya


I think it it it falls back and there's this author I think malcolm gladwell they saying the ten thousand hours theory, if you keep on practicing something for ten thousand hours right you probably be very successful <mandarin>很成功:hen cheng gong</mandarin> lah


but there's something I didn't really like it's because I think he is very entertaining to watch him do all the snakes right but actually is not satisfying to hit those balls lah do you think so it's a bit slow


no as in if you look at the snake so me you spend a lot of time identifying where the snake is coming so when you hit the ball is not as satisfying as a hard smash or a looping


I know but I mean it is true that I mean if now he lose right damn it you also motivate him to want to improve his skills and I think it's going to be beneficial for him <mandarin>长远来看也会比较:chang yuan lai kan ye hui bi jiao</mandarin> beneficial lah


seems to <mandarin>可以接得到:ke yi jie de dao</mandarin> eh not bad not bad


yeah it's really damn quite good, ah <mandarin>留很多汗:liu hen duo han</mandarin> but <mandarin>我手有点痛:wo shou you dian tong</mandarin> lah, I think yesterday but I don't know why <mandarin>因为它的那个:yin wei ta de na ge</mandarin> backhand the rubber <mandarin>你看到那个:ni kan dao na ge</mandarin> piece hor


not really I mean seal the rubber too, butterfly


yeah expensive but it gives a better feel lah I try already, and then if I get the bat I'm the first to have the, yeah, so if I get the bat err, what's the brand again that model duo


okay okay so so that model will be one of the first brand I can't remember the model but it's going to be butterfly, the new release for yeah, so within our team I will be the first to get


loops


, because <mandarin>它不是代理:ta bu shi dai li</mandarin> butterfly <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> brand leh


yes yes but there's one problem because no one


, so


<mandarin>他们应该没有这个:ta men ying gai mei you zhe ge</mandarin> bat <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> model, they <mandarin>他们是打算等我买拿我来做:ta men shi da suan deng wo mai na wo lai zuo</mandarin> guinea pig <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> white elephant white elephant I'll be the white elephant here,


yeah, !aiya! <mandarin>算了吧我如果买那个五百多块的:suan le ba wo ru guo mai na ge wu bai duo kuai de</mandarin> bat lah


usually if not as clumsy as me [orh], if the way I'm taking care is like you hor think no problem lah ten years also can lah


by the way I treat the bet like the current bet I think maybe one year


should I do that,


sorry <mandarin>没得试没得试我买的就是我:mei de shi mei de shi wo mai de jiu shi wo</mandarin> , correct lor I didn't learn much from him lah except for the back spin serve in the new serve that I did today [orh] yeah


eh err <mandarin>你你觉得怎么样:ni ni jue de zen me yang</mandarin> the one that I throw <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> the last few moves that I make that one, it's my first time doing it


then <mandarin>如果你:ru guo ni</mandarin> cut <mandarin>的话有时也会:de hua you shi ye hui</mandarin> under net because why, yeah


ya correct, because that wasn't err I see you you always pick the ball flying out


ya ya ya true true no even for your serve I think is quite good also are you know if you do it or serve last time when I take your serve I used to cut the ball, it doesn't work because when I cut the ball you usually fly out or you or the ball fly very high then you get to smack so today I tried something different I thought you ask me back lah


so I did as when you actually serve


okay you ask you eh when, will try to serve to do if I don't say what's spin it is hor


(hmm) ya you are right you are right okay <mandarin>最:zui</mandarin> basic <mandarin>的做法就是说你如果看我的手:de zuo fa jiu shi shuo ni ru guo kan wo de shou</mandarin> the position hor if I'm going to cut


is going to be basic lah for maybe players like me level <mandarin>没有这样高了你看手势可以:mei you zhe yang gao le ni kan shou shi ke yi</mandarin> but if for maybe higher level maybe someone like maybe


javier hor <mandarin>比他更厉害那种:bi ta geng li hai na zhong</mandarin> err it can be very deceptive so err more professional way of saying ah <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> usually they were judge the movement of the ball lah, so when you come it comes towards you or <mandarin>你有办法:ni you ban fa</mandarin> make judgment to <mandarin>判断:pan duan</mandarin> whether its top spin or under spin


oh no no okay err sometime it is sometime is not you see ah is very is like a double edged sword lah, if you try to do a back spin eh your back spin you may cut correctly but the ball is too high you can still smashed the ball, ya but err sometimes if it's high but not very high ah


you look like say you don't want to take the risk right it's better that you cut the ball back to return to lead, err if otherwise you might go down the net already ya but there's another different scenario err some people they want to, they want to make you think that is coming to you as a


back spin okay, ya to make you feel that is coming back as a back spin, but, what happens is, err you were okay I want to make you feel that you can smashed the ball because is like quite high and then it looks like


based on my position ah I'm ready already do a <mandarin>侧旋:ce xuan</mandarin> already but actually I did cut the ball in the very last minute, so when you actually try to push or smashed back ah you will go down the net because it's already a underspin already so that's the way to fool you lah


so like for javier he likes to mix under spin with back spin together let you feel that you don't know what he's doing already, so the prediction is always wrong ya but you are right on something I need to tell you you say <mandarin>你在看他的快慢:ni zai kan ta de kuai man</mandarin> hor actually <mandarin>那个很重要:na ge hen zhong yao</mandarin> because


err maybe you guessed correctly yeah it's correct it's a back spin but because of the speed of the ball is coming in lah, err <mandarin>会弄到:hui nong dao</mandarin> even if you guessed correctly or


are also no use already you either you return back a high ball to me I smash or you will just go out


yeah <mandarin>我觉得我们应该这样:wo jue de wo men ying gai zhe yang</mandarin> okay err I I give you one example for all the serves eh okay err


you cannot loop, you can only push only


so an example of it lah <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> the way you are serving,


agree agree ya or maybe you should try to loop a bit more lor play around with your forehand and all, I I think your backhand is already very stable <mandarin>已经到了一个:yi jing dao le yi ge</mandarin> peak or whether it's going to be long distance short distance you manage to err actually


err flip back the ball pushed back the ball you can even punch back the ball, towards my right side ya that one is pretty good so when you punch the ball ah eh why is it good because, it makes me very difficult to <mandarin>因为你有注意到我很难:yin wei ni you zhu yi dao wo hen nan</mandarin> loop <mandarin>回那个东西:hui na ge dong xi</mandarin> ah because you already punch already if I look it will be a bit too over but if I try to push back to you you will go down the net already


but <mandarin>就下:jiu xia</mandarin> net <mandarin>如果:ru guo</mandarin> loop <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> over so I think it's very effective even if you give it to my forehand, yeah it's a very good way


ya ya self taught you are self taught, yeah


correct but err it's not a very natural feel for me because I prefer okay for loopers err like err myself, or like the rest of us lah because err we are quite used to our forehand already, so when what we prefer is people who give the ball to us right is either it's a loop to us


is a top spin to us so that we can loop back more naturally or you push the ball to us so that we can take the initiative to attack by looping, but if you punch the ball err the effect is it's like a fifty fifty lah err very risky to loop back, I would prefer that either I I tried to take a step back and then smashed the ball to you so err but it's still very risky


but err I mean you are still starting on the punch lah so you might make mistake also it's a risk for you also, !wah! no lah no it's not that but err, most of us don't use this in fact I I don't know anyone between my circle that do that


yeah, yes so take advantage of that you might surprise you are players, and my suggestion is when you punch the ball err if you give to their forehand err only my point of view err you give to to our forehand is more challenging than you give to our forehand


because when you give up backhand err it gives us a natural feel to return the ball back to you by pushing back with our backhand, yeah or maybe smashed with our backhand, but most people cannot smash with their backhand lah because perfect !hey! it's not a smash mah


we will defend with our backhand than we be smashed with our forehand but javier it's a bit more exceptional


but he's a bit like you in a way whereby he doesn't really smashed with his forehand but he smash with his backhand, he told me that it gives him a more natural feel, but one thing he doesn't punch the ball like you know yeah, so


err, yup, correct, ya correct totally agree so err when he is in a very err


in a situation that he's quite tight up he will always prefer using his backhand, even when he's already in the position of his right are he was still use his back had not using his forehand, so <mandarin>可能我现在在因为我的:ke neng wo xian zai zai yin wei wo de</mandarin> loop <mandarin>还没有很:hai mei you hen</mandarin> stable lah when it comes to err


having a back spin to pull the ball I'm trying to master that, then meanwhile <mandarin>你就:ni jiu</mandarin> master <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> punch lor then <mandarin>我们教:wo men jiao</mandarin> each other yeah


yes yes err in fact err good is much better already I get to see the thing here, err that's <mandarin>就是说还是没有比你的:jiu shi shuo hai shi mei you bi ni de</mandarin> backhand <mandarin>好:hao</mandarin> lah because when <mandarin>你用你的:ni yong ni de</mandarin> forehand or it makes me easier to err return your ball but when you use your backhand is much err


so especially when <mandarin>你推去我的:ni tui qu wo de</mandarin> right <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> left ah


(hmm) yeah, yeah I mean err okay because, actually even for javier <mandarin>他也跟你一样:ta ye gen ni yi yang</mandarin> lah err you all are not going through a coach, err like maybe me and daniel


so err when <mandarin>你用你的:ni yong ni de</mandarin> forehand <mandarin>来打:lai da</mandarin> okay why they train us much ah, it's because err when <mandarin>你刚开始学:ni gang kai shi xue</mandarin> ah err forehand <mandarin>你会觉得比:ni hui jue de bi</mandarin> backhand <mandarin>难很多因为:nan hen duo yin wei</mandarin> backhand


ya so err maybe <mandarin>你跟:ni gen</mandarin> javier <mandarin>你们是:ni men shi</mandarin> like eighty twenty but in the other way lah <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> backhand <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> forehand


for for <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> part okay <mandarin>因为你到了这个:yin wei ni dao le zhe ge</mandarin> stage ah <mandarin>你先在用你的:ni xian zai yong ni de</mandarin> forehand <mandarin>开始会觉得有点难:kai shi hui jue de you dian nan</mandarin> because is it doesn't feel very natural, err <mandarin>我看到你:wo kan dao ni</mandarin> the way <mandarin>你打就说你需要用一个:ni da jiu shuo ni xu yao yong yi ge</mandarin> part whereby err <mandarin>你的手要放开一点:ni de shou yao fang kai yi dian</mandarin> then err <mandarin>往前往上:wang qian wang shang</mandarin> so that one take quite some time lah


but on the other hand <mandarin>我遇到的:wo yu dao de</mandarin> challenge <mandarin>跟你不一样:gen ni bu yi yang</mandarin> so when I'm playing of opponents are that err <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> by coach based or maybe I would say the uncles or most of them are having trouble with them


so <mandarin>我很难:wo hen nan</mandarin> match <mandarin>到他的:dao ta de</mandarin> momentum lor


but by the way having said so <mandarin>被那个书被那个:bei na ge shu bei na ge</mandarin> theory affect or <mandarin>只是:zhi shi</mandarin> for low level players like me I mean for <mandarin>那种啊学已经很:na zhong a xue yi jing hen</mandarin> seasonal professional, that one will not be an issue they can handle any ball already ya


okay


but what you feel is okay <mandarin>运动都已经打这么久:yun dong dou yi jing da zhe me jiu</mandarin> hor you don't need to go through three months like me or nine months like daniel, err you can stop the session already because err you <mandarin>你不要跟他有一个:ni bu yao gen ta you yi ge</mandarin> obligations so all <mandarin>我要去十堂课:wo yao qu shi tang ke</mandarin> ah


just err come to a one to one session maybe you one to two uh once <mandarin>你已经知道你要怎么做:ni yi jing zhi dao ni yao zen me zuo</mandarin> you can practice with me because rather than err


then err <mandarin>你可以找我陪你练:ni ke yi zhao wo pei ni lian</mandarin> or the rest of the team <mandarin>这样会比较好:zhe yang hui bi jiao hao</mandarin> rather than like <mandarin>五十块六十块一个:wu shi kuai liu shi kuai yi ge</mandarin> hour


err okay, err


eh matured


err they can hit the same spot err very accurately so <mandarin>你不用动太多你可以跟他们:ni bu yong dong tai duo ni ke yi gen ta men</mandarin> spar so the rallies can be quite long lor in a way


so err when <mandarin>我们跟他们打的时候:wo men gen ta men da di shi hou</mandarin> hor


they'll will be very easily to just like dominate you lor <mandarin>你要放去那种他很少练的地方:ni yao fang qu na zhong ta hen shao lian de di fang</mandarin> like what you say near the net lah


that one is very good


train from coach ah <mandarin>我也没有像小孩子这样他们这种真的是每天练:wo ye mei you xiang xiao hai zi zhe yang ta men zhe zhong zhen de shi mei tian lian</mandarin> sometimes


but when <mandarin>我真的要发去那边我反而:wo zhen de yao fa qu na bian wo fan er</mandarin>


err <mandarin>不可以发到:bu ke yi fa dao</mandarin> so actually <mandarin>不容易:bu rong yi</mandarin> to, err, to <mandarin>跟小孩子打的时候我发去那边:gen xiao hai zi da di shi hou wo fa qu na bian</mandarin> even though when <mandarin>我真的跟他比赛啊我知道我应该发去那边啊我都没有这样做:wo zhen de gen ta bi sai a wo zhi dao wo ying gai fa qu na bian a wo dou mei you zhe yang zuo</mandarin> rate is very risky or to put it very close to attack <mandarin>我还没有:wo hai mei you</mandarin> technical level


<mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> so <mandarin>话说回来啊怎么样啦我们的:hua shuo hui lai a zen me yang la wo men de</mandarin> team err


(mmhmm)


yeah lor, ya


err <mandarin>他搬去的这个地方不过对于你们来讲可能没有那么方便因为:ta ban qu de zhe ge di fang bu guo dui yu ni men lai jiang ke neng mei you na me fang bian yin wei</mandarin> industrial area


so err <mandarin>一般拜五好像昨天每个人都很:yi ban bai wu hao xiang zuo tian mei ge ren dou hen</mandarin> sporting, even on not just on friday saturday and sunday but monday to thursday


for all the sessions okay <mandarin>我这样讲:wo zhe yang jiang</mandarin> ah err <mandarin>没有人的时候:mei you ren de shi hou</mandarin> hor, this will totally not be an issue hor <mandarin>如果讲没有人就是说:ru guo jiang mei you ren jiu shi shuo</mandarin> err <mandarin>我讲没有人就是说:wo jiang mei you ren jiu shi shuo</mandarin> err <mandarin>可能:ke neng</mandarin> out of the <mandarin>十五个人里面只有五个人去:shi wu ge ren li mian zhi you wu ge ren qu</mandarin> lor


but one thing good is err


in fact <mandarin>你要休息都没有机会休:ni yao xiu xi dou mei you ji hui xiu</mandarin>


err most of the time I would say if you enjoy doubles I would say most of time is doubles err


sometimes I would like yesterday keeps stroking and stroking and stroking so <mandarin>我只打一个:wo zhi da yi ge</mandarin> game <mandarin>而已一个:er yi yi ge</mandarin> single game <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> double game, ya then most of the time we are playing stroke, along the way yeah


team lor, err to contribute to the so called <mandarin>那个地方:na ge di fang</mandarin> lah, so MG club, err contributes to MG so MG err <mandarin>会拿一个:hui na yi ge</mandarin> fixed the fee for <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> so called club <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> team


err then for members err <mandarin>如果你这边买水哦你都有一个:ru guo ni zhe bian mai shui o ni dou you yi ge</mandarin> member price


so yeah instead of one dollar you pay like eighty cents instead of one seventy or one eighty you pay for one fifty these are the things that you can get lor


<mandarin>你还真:ni hai zhen</mandarin> <mandarin>不不会好意思:bu bu hui hao yi si</mandarin> yeah ya anyway err <mandarin>我也:wo ye</mandarin> it's a bit embarrassing also actually <mandarin>我有拿几次:wo you na ji ci</mandarin> ah


oh okay, okay the whole thing about MG uh it's about <mandarin>之前我们有个:zhi qian wo men you ge</mandarin> member ray <mandarin>他以前带我们去他每次跟我们讲:ta yi qian dai wo men qu ta mei ci gen wo men jiang</mandarin> err


err <mandarin>因为我们毕竟是:yin wei wo men bi jing shi</mandarin> team JE mah <mandarin>我们不是:wo men bu shi</mandarin> MG <mandarin>的人:de ren</mandarin> so <mandarin>在当时:zai dang shi</mandarin> ray<mandarin>能够带的人:neng gou dai de ren</mandarin> from team JE only like one or two


<mandarin>不过:bu guo</mandarin> uh okay then after that right err <mandarin>有时候我们自己:you shi hou wo men zi ji</mandarin> book lor, err but <mandarin>这次的很不一样因为这次的是我们自己的这个:zhe ci de hen bu yi yang yin wei zhe ci de shi wo men zi ji de zhe ge</mandarin> err


team form <mandarin>到一个:dao yi ge</mandarin> MG club so especially catered for us <mandarin>都有三个:dou you san ge</mandarin> table <mandarin>而且:er qie</mandarin> before you go, you you you have the option to see who is already coming already so <mandarin>你可以选择在如果你觉得很:ni ke yi xuan ze zai ru guo ni jue de hen</mandarin> risky <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> err <mandarin>今天不要去:jin tian bu yao qu</mandarin> lor


you know lah ah uncles their stamina not so good so where you get to sit down for like two minutes ah it's already your turn before you know it, there's no waiting time lah the way I see yeah


(mmhmm), err not for the probably for the first forty five minutes lah and after that they the moment you see them sit right err rarely they would get up again they probably will sit for the next err


one hour ya


oh is it err sad to say not really maybe I so far I haven't seen a single one I mean from the members that you can see oh ya ya ya okay if you are looking for that right then it's not within a club, but within MG itself err there are a lot of students lah I saw a few students so the environment you know lah for us


, guys when we are actually there sometimes you see some good players yeah, , it's just curious to understand their level you know why because they have been training so long and sparing so long so looking at the way they stroke err if there's a chance to stroke with them we can understand where we stand


so people like us who are not well train ah playing with people who are well trained


coach style the way they their loops err <mandarin>我觉得比较困难只是那种啊有很多:wo jue de bi jiao kun nan zhi shi na zhong a you hen duo</mandarin> unique <mandarin>不同的招数:bu tong de zhao shu</mandarin> so MG is actually a good circle to mingle around


then <mandarin>以后你遇到什么:yi hou ni yu dao shen me</mandarin> player [orh] <mandarin>你都有:ni dou you</mandarin> err <mandarin>知道怎么去:zhi dao zen me qu</mandarin> counter lor <mandarin>这些东西:zhe xie dong xi</mandarin> yeah


but <mandarin>去比赛的时候我只有三分:qu bi sai de shi hou wo zhi you san fen</mandarin> so <mandarin>真的很差不过:zhen de hen cha bu guo</mandarin> thanks to you all <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> confidence actually <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> <mandarin>已经没有那个紧张的:yi jing mei you na ge jin zhang de</mandarin> factor lah, [orh] MG <mandarin>我忘记跟你讲就是说在我们这些:wo wang ji gen ni jiang jiu shi shuo zai wo men zhe xie</mandarin> team member <mandarin>里面:li mian</mandarin> ah are the most worth it part ah especially for javier <mandarin>他也会觉得很:ta ye hui jue de hen</mandarin> worth it because <mandarin>你在里面:ni zai li mian</mandarin> it didn't get to play three coaches


okay there's coach that's the coach glasses then <mandarin>现在有一个:xian zai you yi ge</mandarin> malaysian coach he's really very nice you know err when you play with him you <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> realized that eh


then <mandarin>他又可以打去你的那个:ta you ke yi da qu ni de na ge</mandarin> point <mandarin>的你要的:de ni yao de</mandarin> so err the rally can go on very very long and he's very nice also lah ya


when I say high means what higher than the coach level, yeah so err javier got very excited lah I mean even myself just by watching them play ah he was so as you will see her <mandarin>有时我要休息喝水看着他们都觉得很:you shi wo yao xiu xi he shui kan zhe ta men dou jue de hen</mandarin> it's very interesting


<mandarin>我我不要去:wo wo bu yao qu</mandarin> deprive anyone's dream lah <mandarin>说:shuo</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>说话你永远打不败我:shuo hua ni yong yuan da bu bai wo</mandarin> but uh the the the fact like that, so <mandarin>我也问过:wo ye wen guo</mandarin> coach <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> question mah <mandarin>因为他我的:yin wei ta wo de</mandarin> coach err <mandarin>你懂高宁:ni dong gao ning</mandarin> hor so <mandarin>高宁现在:gao ning xian zai</mandarin> retire lah national player so <mandarin>他是我的:ta shi wo de</mandarin> coach so <mandarin>他是我的:ta shi wo de</mandarin> coach <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> so called senior lah <mandarin>他的学长了:ta de xue zhang le</mandarin> err they they came out from the same so called school


training school lah <mandarin>打乒乓的:da ping pang de</mandarin> so err the chinese province player but <mandarin>当然他没有高宁厉害:dang ran ta mei you gao ning li hai</mandarin> lah, so <mandarin>他就跟我:ta jiu gen wo</mandarin> explain err the key lies with the detail


detail meaning what ah <mandarin>就是说:jiu shi shuo</mandarin> err


err in such a way so this is why err players like <mandarin>郭开:guo kai</mandarin> err


the objectivity to VIP table of eighteen mary


yeah lor yeah lor what I feel is a mentality of course plays a part lah <mandarin>就是说大家已经到了一个:jiu shi shuo da jia yi jing dao le yi ge</mandarin> stage ah that err


so we don't we don't even have the muscle memory err when <mandarin>球来啊:qiu lai a</mandarin> okay <mandarin>你有看:ni you kan</mandarin> dragon ball <mandarin>吗人家讲的最高境界:ma ren jia jiang de zui gao jing jie</mandarin> ah if you can make a movement without thinking you'll be faster than anyone already


ya so <mandarin>你去想你去动:ni qu xiang ni qu dong</mandarin> you are already slower, yeah


so err they went through a tough training lah actually when I first started learning ah <mandarin>我真的觉得很辛苦:wo zhen de jue de hen xin ku</mandarin> because why or I was told to actually bend my knees ah


but I think for us I mean <mandarin>如果是:ru guo shi</mandarin> obese eh


I was told to actually stand in between seventy floor, then it's like I think forty five degrees <mandarin>你的要:ni de yao</mandarin> foot <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> tiptoe than <mandarin>要一直:yao yi zhi</mandarin> move to your left right ya the way you shuffle there's a technique towards it we called it the foot drill lor foot foot works for table tennis


yeah


okay so <mandarin>百数:bai shu</mandarin> ah, they will give you left right left right so err that one is a very very tough training but it's super effective why because it gives you the ability to make it that your forehand and your backhand ah to be equally good so you do a one time backhand one time forehand


two times backhand <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> forehand forehand backhand backhand backhand forehand backhand forehand, but if you ask me right, err, if for the start two times backhand two times four hand is better lah


err forehand backhand, it's a it's ah !wah! <mandarin>我真的很辛苦我那个我真的是累到:wo zhen de hen xin ku wo na ge wo zhen de shi lei dao</mandarin> hor <mandarin>整个:zheng ge</mandarin> muscle <mandarin>都:dou</mandarin> cramp <mandarin>到:dao</mandarin> err so that's a very tough training, very


very very, ,


err I mean in some ways <mandarin>有一些:you yi xie</mandarin> muscle memory <mandarin>已经:yi jing</mandarin> built within it already lah <mandarin>因为我:yin wei wo</mandarin> train <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> left right left right


yeah, so err the challenge right now <mandarin>就是说有那种不同的球你遇到:jiu shi shuo you na zhong bu tong de qiu ni yu dao</mandarin> ah <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> loop ah <mandarin>这些都觉得:zhe xie dou jue de</mandarin> err <mandarin>很难:hen nan</mandarin> ah <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> okay err example


!woo! <mandarin>我们一般我们:wo men yi ban wo men</mandarin> stroke <mandarin>我们都是没有:wo men dou shi mei you</mandarin> spin <mandarin>的吗:de ma</mandarin> stroke <mandarin>来:lai</mandarin> stroke <mandarin>去:qu</mandarin> but <mandarin>如果:ru guo</mandarin> stroke <mandarin>到一半:dao yi ban</mandarin> like <mandarin>你遇到:ni yu dao</mandarin> javier !huh! <mandarin>他有时候:ta you shi hou</mandarin> eh try to cut <mandarin>他跟你消球:ta gen ni xiao qiu</mandarin> then what you're going to do <mandarin>你你如果打回去就下:ni ni ru guo da hui qu jiu xia</mandarin> net <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> so err, when I actually see him playing with other higher level players like the one I was saying henry george ah


they actually managed to loop back up and pull the ball then they play the far distance err those are higher level players already <mandarin>你可以看得到他的:ni ke yi kan de dao ta de</mandarin> technique


sounds a bit bad work <mandarin>但是我可能想要换教练:dan shi wo ke neng xiang yao huan jiao lian</mandarin> leh you know the coach <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> , err, err


ya because <mandarin>太贵:tai gui</mandarin> I don't I mean <mandarin>他知道不可以长期:ta zhi dao bu ke yi chang qi</mandarin> ah just to try out he actually went to learn from him, , (mmhmm) I heard if I don't remember wrongly err the coach was actually teaching how him how to serve okay serve with the reverse way like


err err <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> the reverse way of serving lah using your forehand


ya correct correct correct reverse pendulum serve !wah!, the terms you put it so well


ya ya correct, , actually the other cheaper way is really to learn from Youtube as well, ya because err when you learn from Youtube like javier, ya when you learn


err like from javier right I I think okay I I suspect even though he he only practice table tenis for three years eh, his that three years is really different from my that three months because err <mandarin>他是:ta shi</mandarin> really on a daily basis leh <mandarin>你也知道他很年轻:ni ye zhi dao ta hen nian qing</mandarin> mah so during all his free time hours he was basically watching Youtube practicing so all the snakes are everything or they they really do it like that


so all the snakes err everything err they they really do it like that, yeah so <mandarin>你你有时候你讲说诶你打不赢:ni ni you shi hou ni jiang shuo ei ni da bu ying</mandarin> professional will it depends lah the professional player stop playing for one year and you've been practicing for three years !huh! suddenly you said come let's play I think the pro players will have trouble against you also


yeah, , yeah probably true probably true, I heard for basketball err when you practice shooting the ball <mandarin>你可以射一千粒:ni ke yi she yi qian li</mandarin> ah I mean <mandarin>不进的不要算:bu jin de bu yao suan</mandarin> lah <mandarin>你进了一千粒或一万粒:ni jin le yi qian li huo yi wan li</mandarin> ah


err you will reach to the peak of the next level yeah, so <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> lor


<mandarin>有时候有空要找东西吃啊喝啊:you shi hou you kong yao zhao dong xi chi a he a</mandarin> shopping so these are all distractions towards our training <mandarin>也是了:ye shi le</mandarin> yeah


so even err let's say <mandarin>他真的输啊:ta zhen de shu a</mandarin> I think he will still be happy because he he made a very good player, so along the way <mandarin>他们可以较量:ta men ke yi jiao liang</mandarin> yeah I don't think he's very excited now he's he's he's a very good play around here


err you mean for the way he plays is a bit slow, oh okay depends err for him okay because he's more of a defensive player lah you actually notice


you will cut he will do all sorts of stance and do so he he's not really into attacks so because of, okay so because of this right a lot of people like to play off him because most of us are offensive players, but when offensive against offensive ah


you don't often get to see long rallies it's like you attack <mandarin>三招:san zhao</mandarin> or <mandarin>完了:wan le</mandarin> but you when you play javier err, usually you can go quite long because he defend while you attack and then he attacked again you defence so err block in between <mandarin>你可以看得上可以到:ni ke yi kan de shang ke yi dao</mandarin> play <mandarin>十:shi</mandarin> maybe <mandarin>招到二十招:zhao dao er shi zhao</mandarin> err sometimes if you get lucky


, you are trying to put in a good way you just saying that he's living in his own world ya


<mandarin>我现在已经因为我已经每次跟他打已经有点什么我现在反而每次去到:wo xian zai yi jing yin wei wo yi jing mei ci gen ta da yi jing you dian shen me wo xian zai fan er mei ci qu dao</mandarin> MG hor, ah <mandarin>我就你干吗要跟我打我们有很多机会吗不要防碍我跟别人:wo jiu ni gan ma yao gen wo da wo men you hen duo ji hui ma bu yao fang ai wo gen bie ren</mandarin> one so ah okay because yesterday night his form wasn't very good lah so he was not comfortable playing henry


he was like asking evan<mandarin>你可以给我:ni ke yi gei wo</mandarin> stroke <mandarin>一下吗:yi xia ma</mandarin> but I didn't want ah <mandarin>因为我我好不容易遇到那些人:yin wei wo wo hao bu rong yi yu dao nei xie ren</mandarin> yeah, so any way err next session <mandarin>我们再:wo men zai</mandarin> try lah <mandarin>真的吗这次:zhen de ma zhe ci</mandarin> practice I think I want to try and from new serve all that <mandarin>我们试一下咯:wo men shi yi xia lo</mandarin> yeah <mandarin>记得带我衣服啊走咯走咯去吃咯:ji de dai wo yi fu a zou ge zou lo qu chi lo</mandarin> everything is good


!wah!, okay leh I mean being in the event events industries is tough now lah cause you know with the COVID situation and all it's it's it's not that easy to you know have your events together with the government rulings where you know technically the govern government ruling currently can't really have events anymore lah


from what I see in the near future probably next year mid next year err err we'll probably be able to do events again lor so for now I guess a lot of events or, they're going online going virtual so it's something that I guess a lot of people have to adapt to lah


ya, !hannor! like


, ya so so I mean everything is now, you know virtual and all it's not as easy [lahh] I guess and a lot of


I guess people a lot of companies are not very reciprocative to having events virtually, because they feel that there's no interaction at all lah and , it's tough lah it's tough lah


how about you man, [orh],


!wah! okay lah as in


course course course <mandarin>我没有读大学:wo mei you du da xue</mandarin> lah so, , <mandarin>我不懂我听人家讲读大学很难:wo bu dong wo ting ren jia jiang du da xue hen nan</mandarin> and and and all so


with


one semester about four five thousand oh okay okay but, your school goes by semester or trimester one


[orh] long semester lah, ah okay okay but for uni wise let's say if you guys have holidays or anything is it like really holiday holiday kind or is it you still have like tons of things to do kind


[orh], okay okay but


!huh!,


oh okay okay understand understand understand so like for example during that period you have to go and look for your own internship company then see whether they want to take you and then from there how like that then you have to link them up with the school teacher and whatever one lah


, so


<mandarin>对对对对对对:dui dui dui dui dui dui</mandarin> ya ya ya I mean, , whether we have hosting jobs or not like like like you mentioned lah since both of us are emcees and all whether we've hosting jobs or not it really depends on whether there's events and and and like what I said earlier lor having events means I'm I'm pretty sure it's when


this whole COVID nineteen situation it it becomes better, and people start to you know err err, take care of themselves lah I mean to a certain extent I still feel that there are people who don't really err adhere to the safety err safe distancing measure some of them you know when I go out to the streets they still don't wear masks and all this kind of thing which I I guess all these little little things done by people right it all adds up to delaying this whole situation and in turn it it it it really hurts a lot of people lah in terms of their you know their their finance it hurts you know their their their dreams you know whether what you want to be


generally everything lah I would say


, ya ya, I, ya so, correct correct speaking of that right like actually it was just yesterday cause I was with my girlfriend what then we went to eat supper so he went past this place at at chinatown right it was at err I think I think road ah so there was like


at least ah not even exaggerating is at least like twenty thirty people there right they're just walking around like those I mean that they are not hooligans who are walking around lah they are more of like you know friends coming out to have a drink kind of thing then they're just all walking around in the in the streets then I'm like


it it it as in people feel like !aiya! it's just meeting my friends mah they have no COVID I have no COVID nothing's gonna happen you know but no one really actually knows what course you know from the let's say if it's five people maybe you interact with one waiter for example but if it's thirty people you interact with five people waiter it it it


it brings up the chances of this of of the community spread lah for COVID nineteen as well


like like like what you really like in terms of hosting and all it's really affected lah I mean, it in a way you started hosting way earlier than me like me in our poly days ah I remember you have I remember you going on stage for like err err I think it was err open house or something I forgot I forgot what what what what event what was it at the events space one


ah born ya ya I remember I remember you ask the who ah what's that guy's name the lecturer ah #ong ong keng yong# mister #ong kang yew# song can you there are ah ya up on stage to to play again then he was dancing all I was laughing like don't know what man


, !wah! <mandarin>不要将讲:bu yao jiang jiang</mandarin> leh <mandarin>会会会会害羞的:hui hui hui hui hai xiu de</mandarin> leh <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> lah I mean it it's different lah because I guess or like you you'd I I believe you found your your passion for hosting back in like let's say poly days and all but for me it really started because like you know we both study events and then when I went to intern at at the current company where I'm working at right I saw how ah certain emcees they they they act on stage how they how they put on a show for everybody and I feel that it's very interesting like something that you know I I I want to try so I asked my boss whether


err err they're okay to like to give me a chance to try to be a host and they give me a chance lah so I would say in terms of exposure wise it it's really because I'm in a events company where you know err I have first hand first hand touch to all these events where I can actually go and tell the client eh take me as emcee lah you know like a bit <mandarin>不要脸:bu yao lian</mandarin> lah <mandarin>他们讲的不要脸:ta men jiang de bu yao lian</mandarin> lah <mandarin>自己卖自己讲:zi ji mai zi ji jiang</mandarin> lah so err I guess that's the part where where


err I have a little advantage lah cause I have a direct contact to the clients mah but in terms of hosting I'll I'll I wouldn't say that you know like like you say I'm a very established MC this kind of things I won't say that, because


for yourself I I I don't see


cause from what I see last time lah cause the last time I saw you host was actually in poly days I mean the last time I saw you was during I think #sian yao# wedding, I mean sian yao's sister's wedding so but that was a wedding lah so it's different and and and you see the the wedding is something that err you can do that but I can't cause I really don't know how to do that lah and for what I remember back in the poly days you you


you actually bring up the the atmosphere quite well so


'cause


ya, !wah!


thank you thank you thank you I mean like like I told you before lah where you know err cause I I I mean until now I like, that that you have mentioned this again, I feel that hosting a DND isn't really that tough to be honest


and I feel that you really have what it takes because if you think think of it as a point of view where let's say you know the reason why people have what why companies have a DND is really just it's really to, , thank the staff for their past years work is really to congratulate everybody giving out the awards that people have won you celebrating milestones of the company


so all all this err elements on why people have a DND right, the bottom line is very simple you know they still, want to have fun, you know that's all and I don't see you as a very formal or serious kind of black tie event kind of MC you know I mean I be I believe as as as host you know we should be like chameleons lah you know we can adapt here and there but the nature of I believe you and myself we are more of the


more of the fun kind, where, I feel that for you once you go on stage for DNDs right is really being yourself because like naturally err you're a funny guy you know you are you are you are you are humorous just bring your jokes on stage and you will engage the people you know disturb them a bit here and there I don't think it's that tough [bah]


it's


[orh] okay okay but, , charity resort so so is it more of like that say garnering court over to the events so they can spend there then we raise funds and all


[orh], okay okay err but back back in our poly days how how how did you as in


err cause cause you mentioned the first time when you host it was for the bonding day mah how how how did you actually like like like get the opportunity to go onstage ah


, know


c, , what, okay this was for the IP project right, was it IP


oh okay okay okay


oh ya ya ya yes yes mine was the open house open house as in our course open house lah


what you die


, understand understand cause I think for me it's not really so much of I would say like like err pre plan jokes but I mean there's sometimes where you know I I I do something in particular cause the audience reaction will always be the same so that will lead to the same joke that I'll always say you know


but most of the times I guess it's really bouncing off on what the audience say what they react how they how how how they dress like for example if let's say person A and person B wear very similar then then I just disturb them lah like eh you guys are a couple is it <mandarin>还是还是你们是:hai shi hai shi ni men shi</mandarin> err <mandarin>兄妹:xiong mei</mandarin> !huh! <mandarin>你们有有讲好穿来将来来这个晚宴的是吗:ni men you you jiang hao chuan lai jiang lai lai zhe ge wan yan de shi ma</mandarin> you know so this kind of err a lot of bouncing off what people say lor and I would say for me


I would I would normally find out from the client


err err <mandarin>表达某种东西有些事情应该怎样说什么什么:biao da mou zhong dong xi you xie shi qing ying gai zen yang shuo shen me shen me</mandarin> err <mandarin>笑话他们说了他们会笑有些笑话说了他们会看这你觉得你很无聊:xiao hua ta men shuo le ta men hui xiao you xie xiao hua shuo le ta men hui kan zhe ni jue de ni hen wu liao</mandarin> leh so so so I mean it's it's it's it's quite a lot of err


err different things coming together lah, so cause cause I I remember right the first time where I hosted my first show where I did right okay actually when if you talk about a very, lame first show lah okay my thank you my very very very very first show


it's actually not the emcee, I actually it it is like more of err, station IC where I was facing I think like hundreds of people holding the mic and explaining to them how to play a certain game that was my first exposure I think when I was


, seventeen or eighteen that was my first exposure but it's just for like you know err a a a lame part lah, then, my first show were I actually did where I was engaged as a emcee


so , I just wore my former clothes and then I went on stage oh before I went on stage I remember I was estate site you know I was by the err DJ console I was with my among with my colleague so I remember it was like five minutes before the show start you know cause we have our program run down what so you know like for example seven thirty I have to go on stage so when I know that is nearing me going on stage already right I was trembling man I I was literally trembling


eh brother <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> okay mah


you know once I started off for the like first two three minutes I got myself really comfortable you know when I invited the VIP out for the stage err up on stage for his opening speech the VIP was very friendly you know he was making jokes during his speech as well so that was the point where I know !hey! this crowd is going to be a fun group you know they they they they are wild so I really let myself out and I just play my games and did my thing and overall I would say it was quite a satisfying first set satisfying first experience for me <mandarin>没有太大的失误没有太大的的的的的错误:mei you tai da de shi wu mei you tai da de de de de de cuo wu</mandarin> lah <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> <mandarin>还过得去:hai guo dei qu</mandarin> but I will say there's a lot of things to improve on because it's the first show lah


it may I I won't forget that first experience of my cause I was I've never trembled in real life before and that's the first time I was so nervous man


where


!wah!


because


ah, (mmhmm) (mmhmm) like ya that's true that's true but it's actually speaking of of doing shows for like err on foreign workers right, I actually did the show at around this year this year I remember it was in january before this whole COVID thing started I did appreciation dinner


for this err construction company, so uh there were eight hundred pax, all of these eight hundred pax I think about seven hundred of them were from India Bangladesh and the rest are from china so for myself I mean cause I can only speak english mandarin and also some dialects mah so it's quite hard for me to communicate with them I mean


for the for the for our the the chinese guest you know of course <mandarin>我用我用华文华文跟他们讲话:wo yong wo yong hua wen hua wen gen ta men jiang hua</mandarin> and err they understand lah but for our err foreign workers who were from, you know India and Bangladesh cause their knowledge of english isn't very good only a few of them where normally these people whose err english err


standard slightly higher they're of the err supervisor level so when I actually invite invited them up to play games some of them understood some of them don't understand, and I remember one there was a very err funny moment because he was it was at their office area at their carpark called so the carpark was quite big mah so they had tentages their power generator all these fans and all lah then they have buffet so when I invited one of the err guest from Bangladesh up to play a game so the game was very simple lah is like the longest breath so they have to hold say a word for example like


it's like a sentence like it was like I love the company and then you have to you know hold on to the last breath for as long as possible so one of the uh guest right when he was playing against he was holding his breath that long that the whole power generator


went off I mean it's not because of him lah but it's just such a coincidence where you know all the lights suddenly off the fan suddenly off the mic got no sound the power just off , so err the the client went to fix the the generator and all then when we come back out I just told him lah like you know like like what I told you bouncing off things that happened on saying that


!wah! brother you are so good you very powerful until you know you hold your breath the power all gone you know and and and it's it's this kind of, small small things lah and it it's it's it's quite a tough thing to to uh I would say communicate to people when you are very limited with your language you know like like like I mentioned <mandarin>英文华文福建话广东话:ying wen hua wen fu jian hua guang dong hua</mandarin> err <mandarin>马来语我会一点点:ma lai yu wo hui yi dian dian</mandarin> lah <mandarin>就真的是那么一点点就剩下的语言就没有什么精通如果说有:jiu zhen de shi na me yi dian dian jiu sheng xia de yu yan jiu mei you shen me jing tong ru guo shuo you</mandarin>


err <mandarin>客人他们是来自菲律宾:ke ren ta men shi lai zi fei lv bin</mandarin> err <mandarin>来自缅甸这些:lai zi mian dian zhe xie</mandarin> <mandarin>如果说他们英文不好的话你很难和他们沟通你很难解解释给他们听:ru guo shuo ta men ying wen bu hao de hua ni hen nan he ta men gou tong ni hen nan jie jie shi gei ta men ting</mandarin> eh <mandarin>接下来要做什么这个游戏怎么晚现在是幸运抽奖的时候现在是什么时候有时候他们会听不懂然后你就需要:jie xia lai yao zuo shen me zhe ge you xi zen me wan xian zai shi xing yun chou jiang de shi hou xian zai shi shen me shi hou you shi hou ta men hui ting bu dong ran hou ni jiu xu yao</mandarin>


<mandarin>在台上:zai tai shang</mandarin> it it it's it's a very natural thing where you have to be professional, yet, simple at the same time to explain certain steps to these people, so I guess that's one of the tough part for me bag


every year they're DND is probably also same thing about thirty forty pax only, but their board err they'll always be one table right is their boss and then the boss invited guests from Japan from Japan cause the boss is japanese mah so there will always be this full table of japanese there, you know and I guess for me me I actually tried one time to


ya ya but,


ladies ah, yes I do , so what what I do is that sometimes when I'm on stage if let's say uh one of the guests who are played who are playing games is this beautiful lady so you know I always ask them lah that err eh err <mandarin>你单身:ni dan shen</mandarin> mah so oh ya <mandarin>你单身:ni dan shen</mandarin> mah so they will say you know or whether yes or no lah don't the it'll be best if they say that is no so I can tell them that


<mandarin>等一下我给你我的电话号码你今晚打给我哦:deng yi xia wo gei ni wo de dian hua hao ma ni jin wan da gei wo o</mandarin> you know then people will start laughing and all then you'll be it it it it's even better when the guest reciprocate they say that <mandarin>不要:bu yao</mandarin> lah <mandarin>我给你我的号码你打给我啦不要我打给你了我是女生:wo gei ni wo de hao ma ni da gei wo la bu yao wo da gei ni le wo shi nv sheng</mandarin> leh you know so is very fun let let let's say they they actually reciprocate and interact with you to make the whole thing better you know but ah it's a chance thing lah whether you meet sporting people or not but naturally when ladies on stage you crack this kind of jokes with them they only like laugh a bit they will be like shy this kind of stuff then that's when you can you know ah bounce off it more lor


, ya correct correct if not if not what happens is that you know when when just just so happens when I get one guy and one girl up to play a game and then when ah they started when they when they are both on stage then people off stage you know the audience they are like like !whoa! !whoa! !whoa! and so I ask what happen because some of them and then some people will say like eh they are like the office couple but fake one lah then start I'll start disturbing them making them play some romantic game things like that lor


, ya correct correct correct


you know


(mmhmm) (mmhmm)


, so so actually like <mandarin>那时候就那三十分钟就是等他走:na shi hou jiu na san shi fen zhong jiu shi deng ta zou</mandarin> lah <mandarin>不要希望他不会回来:bu yao xi wang ta bu hui hui lai</mandarin> lah


(uh huh)


[orh], uncooperative will be the word lah


ya correct correct I mean like like what you mentioned lor , being a host be it on stage roadshows or whatever, the tough I guess the toughest thing isn't to engage the audience the really tough thing is to solve problems when it happens


like, what happens if let's say guests on stage they start fighting cause they are drunk then they play game then let's say person A loses and then he just punch person B in the face so so what are you gonna do you know this kind of things err are things that happen lah but lucky for me I haven't really met this kind of situation before but quite similar in a way where


there was this time where ,
