but it's not just US it's like any other overseas country people will assume that life will be better than what they have now so that's why she assume that when she go to mauritius her life was gonna be amazing, but then she walked in and then she realised like nope it's not like okay her husband's family it's not like super poor but then it was not her expectation like she thought it's like palace looking you know ya and then she was disappointed lah and then she missed her family because <tamil>எல்லாரையும்விட்டுட்டு:ellarayum vittutu</tamil> she came she she like just left behind her whole rich background all her like like because she's a very very established artist in india already and then she left all that behind move


and I think she just missed it a lot to a point where like she's said everytime when she wanted to dance or something she felt like crying like she missed it she miss it reminded her of like everything thatshe left behind, so she was like okay I'm gonna be a full housewife now I'm gonna like I'm gonna stop


but then she said somehow like the neighbouring kids and all <tamil>அவங்களுக்குசும்மாவிளையாட்டுக்கு:avankaluku summa velayaattukku</tamil> she will teach them a few steps some folk dance you know just to keep herself occupied, and then just for fun


but she stayed in the house of one of like a music composer because <tamil>கலாக்ஷேத்ரா:kalaakshetra</tamil> is in <tamil>சென்னை:chennai</tamil> so she like picked up tamil but she pretty much knows all the languages of india like she knows hindi she can read and write sanskrit


ya ya but that's like so good then she was like ya I can speak and she's actually pretty fluent in all like I've heard her speak to like cause we get juniors and parents from like hindi parents then we get <tamil>தெலுகு:telugu</tamil> parents she's like equally fluent with everyone and she can speak creole like broken french from africa she picked it up after she got married


I'm like holy shit, ya ya and then she she picked that up and she only studied till like fifth standard because after that she did dance full time like she stayed in the academy like she danced the whole day for five days instead of going to school ya it's like a dance academy ya so she only learned it err like she only studied proper education till like fifth like fifth ya and then P five ya


but then like she's just so much more intelligent like she doesn't need a, university degree you know ya and it's just I don't know like I lately I've been hearing more like she's been chatting more and more with the story that she didn't share when I was a lot younger obviously lah I was too young to understand then it's just inspiring me more and more like !wow! !wow!


she's sixty eight ya ya ya but she's so active dude like if you ever meet her right you will be so confused by her age and she looks so young I'll show you a picture after this but she's so freaking young like she looks the same since ever since I learnt started learning and I've been learning for like thirteen years now so dude it's amazing and then she's so she doesn't have a helper and then she's home alone like her husband is still in mauritius but she settled here


so oh my god the story of how she settled here is also so interesting I should share it yes of course, and ya so and then her son is with her but her son's getting married so essentially she's at home like with her son ya ya ya and then after that


she does like all the housework and stuff on her own and sixty eight eh and then she's super super neat like she will mop the house, and her cooking is also so good okay I I can't stop talking about her it's just dude ya when you when you walk into the her house right you just feel at home okay I also go there quite a lot like to help her with non dance stuff also sometimes she'll be like oh I feel like clearing the <tamil>பூஜை:poojai</tamil> room today <tamil>நான்இன்னைக்குவரமுடியுமா:naan inaiku vara mudiyuma</tamil> because like it's super heavy then I'll be like ya sure teacher and like exam <tamil>முடிஞ்சிச்சு:mudinchichu</tamil> I'm doing nothing then I'll go


and then I like so I've been helping her more which is how I I like found out all these like behind the scenes stories even more, !huh!


I mean she has a lot of older students but I think out of active students I'm definitely like students who still go every week I'm still like the one who has been there the longest like she's been a teacher since she was twenty


are professors in <tamil>கலாக்ஷேத்ரா:athiggraram</tamil> academy ya it's like and or sometimes she'll teach the grand kids of her students I mean maybe not grand kids but like but the grand kids will be like two years old child


what, oh like learn it from their I mean okay you can actually be a dancer but you may not be a teacher you know what I mean like we are all studying but are we all teachers


ya she


here this place but she was in india now, ya ya she's a indian actress


oh no no no no no not that one oh my god I know who you are talking about no no no not that one, it's okay you you don't have to it's not that great whoever's transcribing I'm sorry


have we been speaking singlish did we add singlish now I don't even dude like, kind of like it's not perfect english but like I never really use lah and stuff right


they just said speak singlish, like giving presentation, I guess we will know if this recording gets rejected we have like okay ya let's add a lah no but I really think it depends on who I'm talking to like I have this friend she I mean I'm not uh labeling people but


people speak more broken english if there are tend to be from, neighbourhood schools, that's why I'm not labelling you oh my god like I don't mean it like that


, I am a local student what do you mean, stop okay okay you know what I, no cause I was gonna lead it up with something else


it's really bad but when I talk to her I speak a lot of singlish singlish in a sense that I use a lot of singlish like the fillers like lah I'll use it a lot more like compared to like when I talk to you or Menaka or like jasmine I don't like I would say like like you know but I think that's the extent of my singlish this


oh that's just like a english filler wait my face is recording , it's okay fun conversations only ya, ya please don't fail us whoever's listening


ya ya ya, like when you talk to someone who as in I think I just have a tendency to adopt the, tone or whoever I'm talking to so if a <tamil>இப்பஉன்கூடபேசுறப்பகூடஎன்தமிழ்கொஞ்சம்:ipa unkooda pesurappa kooda en tamizh konjam</tamil> seems not natural it's because I'm a usually <tamil>தமிழ்லபேசமாட்டோம்:tamizhla pesamaatom</tamil> ah


is she coming today, her toe she fractured her toe which is why universal studios got cancelled the lifestyle I'm so sad I still haven't gone, no but like a lot of people don't want to spend the vouchers on


USS no what else are you going to spend on honestly the I think the most expensive attraction is or unless you want to save up for staycation then I guess, ya as in you can have a discounted staycation so instead of maybe like one room is hundred seventy dollars instead of I can just pay seventy


so I I wanna maximize that savings by not using that hundred on anything else, oh


honestly <tamil>எனக்குவந்து:enakku vandhu</tamil> I don't understand the concept of staycation you know <tamil>ஏனாஇந்தஊருலதானஇருக்கபோறோம்:yena intha oorula thana irukka porom</tamil> okay okay okay I get it that like stay in hotel is fun like you know that's the whole part of it but, I could do the same thing like overseas like I wouldn't spend money as on it as a replacement for not being able to go overseas which is what a lot of people are doing right now ya


you won't stay in the hotel really okay I think it depends on where you go like if you go like batam beach resort and stuff then it probably becomes a staycation cause you are gonna stay ya in the the room like you just go out to eat you won't really sightsee but if you go like spain like dude our airbnb was literally a place to like just to crash ya


but actually our airbnb was good there was so many facilities which we couldn't use I mean not so many but it was, no I think it had four rooms but it can accommodate ten people ya ya I remember the guys some of y'all had to sleep in the living room is it


like because the couch was like the bed couch ya ya oh you slept there I thought eugene slept there


that okay it was fun


ya as in that was the first choice <tamil>ஆனாநெறையாபேருவந்து:aana neraya peru vandhu</tamil> already barcelona <tamil>க்குபோய்ட்டாங்கஇல்லனா:ku poitaanka illana</tamil> barcelona <tamil>க்குபோக:ku poka</tamil> plans <tamil>இருந்துச்சு:irundhuchu</tamil> after the three weeks so granada was the one no one was going so <tamil>அதுக்குபோனாநெறையாவரலாம்:athukku ponaa neraya varalam</tamil> I was like fine it's important to like go together like that's more fun then I go barcelona two people and then ya so I prioritise that


ya dude I think that I think that also made it more fun like it was a long drive but it was fun and ya


it was fun dude oh ya ya ya but <tamil>ஆனாஅதுலயும்நெறயபேருதூங்கிட்டாங்கஅந்தபின்னாடி:aana athulayum neraya peru thoonkitaanka antha pinnadi</tamil> few rows <tamil>தாகலாட்டாபண்ணிட்டுஇருந்தோம்:thaa kalatta pannitu irundhom</tamil> ya ya ya, ya


ya valencia was fun also ya it was, ya, before any of us ya but I remember we wanted to have like a JB trip day trip at least when we came back as in we didn't set a date but it was like we should do a road trip again soon because we ya ya cause we like like granada a lot


honestly I don't think we'll ever have a time that everyone can go to overseas place again together but dude imagine we met earlier then we had a few bonding sessions earlier such that, the whole trip like we went to spain together on the plane and everything that would have been so lit because it was a long plane ride like it would've been like a proper school trip you know what I mean secondary school JC lah <tamil>எல்லாம்:ellam</tamil> oh dude ya the whole time I was in warner warner brothers studios I was like shit this is so fun if everyone else here it was really fun with #wen lin# but #wen lin# wasn't even a warner brothers studio fan she came there I was like oh our first choice was actually to go to the water theme park there


and then #wen lin# ya and then #wen lin# didn't want I think she was on her period I'm not really sure ya and then she didn't want, then I was like okay cool because anyway we were bringing extra clothes like for that day like we packed a so regardless of where we go we'll have to change and then we decided okay let's just do warner brothers studios are you cool with that and then she was like ya whatever so we went there and


she had fun but I think if she was a fan it would have been even more fun for her ya like I would like geek out everywhere and then she was just like eh


okay now I'm a expert so I probably can end earlier but the first few times <tamil>போறப்பவந்து:porappa vandhu</tamil> you will spend the whole time there like if it's usually a full day thing only now it's half day but like from ten AM to seven PM <tamil>நா:naa</tamil> six thirty whether you're like fully packed you won't just be like ya


but warner brother studios we dude we went early enough to wait outside like we were waiting outside the thing for for it to open so I think it started eleven and we were already there at like ten and we had breakfast and it was still so early just waiting there taking pictures then <tamil>அதுக்குஅப்பறம்:athukku aparam</tamil> uh eleven o'clock <tamil>உள்ளபோயிட்டோம்:ulla poiyittom</tamil> then I think the park closes at seven but like at five thirty six we were actually super done like we were done with the like we saw everything it's not even like we were tired


not as much especially the queues are super short so ride <tamil>அதுலலாம்போறப்போ:athulalaam pesurappo</tamil> I don't know maybe it was school term or something but we went on a weekend oh ya ya oh and it was so hot ya ya ya ya <tamil>அதுனாலதாநல்லவேல:athunaalatha nalla vela</tamil> warner brother studios <tamil>போனோம்னுநெனச்சிகிட்டோம்:ponomnu nenachikkitom</tamil> because it's indoors and there's air con so but <tamil>இப்பநாம:ippa naama</tamil> water theme park <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> amusement park <tamil>போயிருந்தோம்னா:poiyirundhomna</tamil> we will die of the heat bro it was so bad


oh at benny dome ya ya ya ya, I don't remember the name I just know there was one at benny dome that we wanted to go but we didn't go why oh I know like


I actually don't know why but oh I think we wanted to because the weekend <tamil>நாம:naama</tamil> granada <tamil>போறோம்:porom</tamil> so <tamil>போனஉடனே:pona udane</tamil> we can only go like half a day right after school then we thought we could make it in half a day but then I was asking my host and then <tamil>அவங்கசொன்னாங்கபோய்ட்டுவரதுக்குகொஞ்சம்நேரம்ஆய்டும்:avanka sonnanaka poitu varathukku konjam neram aaidum</tamil> school <tamil>முடிஞ்சஉடனேநீபோனேன்னா:mudincha udane nee ponenna</tamil> you would have only like a few hours there


so she said you should go on a weekend and we wanted to go on the week the first weekend the weekend before granada tabarca valencia <tamil>போய்ட்டு:poitu</tamil> we went, that was actually a good I mean there was nothing much there but I think that was good in the form of dynamics based like it was good ya


dude ya ya ya, oh ya ya ya ya ya


, , oh my god like spanish dude or, dude but then like it's not like a library you know like why does he feel entitled that he should


oh my god, oh my god, (uh huh)


!wow!,


it was at isla tabarca like we rented the, we rented the snorkels before we boarded the ferry then we went in


but I remember that we kept seeing seaweeds I don't know if you ya ya ya we both we both snorkeled together quite a bit, and I was saying that it wasn't as nice they like I've seen better like <tamil>எங்க:enka</tamil> family <tamil>ஓடநாங்கஒருதடவபுக்கெட்போயிருந்தோம்:oda naanka oru thadava pucket poiyirundhom</tamil> like my mom's office trip


ya and then I was like they had this rope the anchor I was like holding onto it so damn tight cause I was so scared no you don't have to because you are like floating and they give you life jacket but I was I didn't want to let go then after that from the rope I went to like latch on to my dad and then he was like Agana you're pushing me down


okay finally I let go and it was so good like I'm so glad I got over it like I think about ten minutes later I was like screw this shit


trip that yearly company trip so it's like a that wasn't our first time meeting, we already knew of each other like it was like a unspoken rule that everytime this company business comes along like we will hang out together ya and my mom's company also used you have like monthly bowling sessions ya they had a lot of engagement welfare stuff but they also like <tamil>புழிஞ்சிஎடுத்திட்டாங்க:pulinchi eduthuttanka</tamil> ya cause she work in the tender department so during tender time like got sometimes she'll just stay over at work like


that is overnight like she'll come at five AM then she'll grab to go again at seven ya, so, it was like really bad ah so it was kind of worth it and that's why my mom moved to a different company she was like it's too ya too stressful like I mean she was working there for like five years so then she was like I think I'm ready to move on but then now her job is so chill like now she's like I want to go back to the tender one


ya I think cause at that time <tamil>நானும்என்தம்பியும்வந்து:naanum en thambiyum vandhu</tamil> like primary school so then she wants to be there like hang out with us more but now we are like he's JC and I'm uni like we got our own stuff to do also like last time when <tamil>வந்து:vandhu</tamil> school <tamil>விட்டாவீடுவீடுவிட்டா:vitta veedu veedu vitta</tamil> school you know nothing as much going on in your life


then err that time was good to move away but now it's like we we are both engaged and then she's so free like even the weekends and like dance class


may be <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> three minutes <tamil>பேசிட்டா:pesitta</tamil> ya ya ya in case


so, ya it's just underneath got nothing much to, oh I just remembered it just came to my mind do you remember like we played


volleyball on monkey thing and then I fell down and then I injured my leg (ppl)


hi Yagana , uh because I have a uh FYP meeting tonight with my professor, uh because I have err to prepare for a presentation this friday

engineering uh, I don't know body right and then uhh we ya so we submitted the paper for this conference and then the paper got accepted so it's it's pretty cool it got accepted but, now you have to present it so my prof my prof told me like you have to do it yourself so


no it's it's like a solo FYP and like she had her name is on the her name is on the paper as well but she asking me to solo it myself so, so ya uh uh


okay so the (hmm), ya so so I think I think I'm pretty stressed out about it because I've never done like uh a presentation no okay I mean I haven't done FYP before but neither have I like done a presentation cause okay honestly right I was was planning to do a presentation for like uh she ask me to prepare a presentation for twenty minutes


ya so I have to speak for like for twenty minutes and like the longest presentation I have ever done was like five minutes max like five minutes that that was the maximum, I don't know I've ever done like I spoken for a presentation like usually I do group presentations right ya so even like individual presentation is like five minutes per person so now it's like twenty minutes is like oh it's like !aww! man


ya ya how was that


yo but that that was what like for a for a like a on stage presentation kind of thing, ya ya ya


oh wait wait is that is that the one your one of your DP has that like there's this picture of you holding a microphone, was that was that the event, that you were talking about, oh that's a different one, too too many times too many times okay

carries the whole project right ya


ya, , !wow!


but you didn't tell him ah, okay


ya ya ya, okay, , right right right


oh shit, ya


oh, ya ya ya ya, but he didn't he didn't care is it


oh , selection to get throught to this right, what


no no no no okay I don't know I generally generally I'm the one who like I I I pull my I pull my own weight generally but last semester I had I had I did this err


I did this project uh you know you you had this IDP is it last eh middle of this semester is it IDP the the design project MDP yes MDP ya ya ya the MDP so last year I had something similar called DIP called design and innovation project


but that project there there's this one group mate of mine my god he cannot do anything he doesn't do he doesn't pull his own weight at all he does nothing in the, he contributed absolutely nothing you know you know on the first day he okay he joined us like halfway like almost like four or five weeks into the semester cause the first four weeks he didn't know he was taking this mod he was so lost and then he comes in to the group and he didn't bother to catch up in any in any way and then he just came he sat down everyone was working on something doing something for the for the project and this guy he just came here and he he was like oh good job guys teamwork makes the dream work


and he did nothing he contributed nothing and then when I heard that ya moral support I don't need moral support just do something you don't you , and then this guy he he oh my gosh there was so many instances where like


but I feel like this guy really like pushed me to the edge like, ya I no so so initially initially I was cause I there's this one girl who is like the who who claim she okay she wants to be the group leader okay so she says that she says that oh anything anything you want then you clear with me I'll talk to the prof


ya so you want something or or prof <tamil>கிட்டநான்நான்பேசுறேனுசொல்லுவாங்க:kitta naan pesurenu solluvaanka</tamil> so like like I think I think she just wanted it to be like a resume kind of thing she wants to put that out this is my leadership thing in my resume but like she was quite a passive leader you know what I mean so like a lot of times like I went to I wanted to tell her like eh can you can you just tell him do something


and like she didn't do it she cause she didn't know how to bring this up with him, ya so so one day I I I I even like phrased it nicely for her so I was like oh , uh maybe maybe this guy is just err, is a task oriented person so you know if you tell him like abstract


abstract uh concepts he may not be able to like grasp what you want ya tell him the task that you wanna you wanna cover you don't tell him like I want this is the final product be like get a dirt like no you it doesn't work that way for him so I I tried to guide her in a way but like but she was like oh okay okay eh ya no but then but then like she tried to tell him


he didn't get it so I went to tell him okay can you do this task and this task by this time today he went in he sat down in front of the cause it was like some coding project he opened his laptop and then he just opened up the the IDE he opened up his phone and he started scrolling through instagram


oh my god, ya

but what what language does it use, [orh], ya ya


I think we do we do we we come up


oh, ya ya ya year one or year two I know I know I think it's year I think it was a year two mod early year two mod I think ya ya ya, okay okay


oh maybe maybe ya ya ya, oh right right right eh that that was such a such a rubbish mod oh my gosh


ya ya ya, ya none of them are dude you know you know they they making it uh entirely CA based next sem next sem onwards ya, oh open book ah no but there's no finals at all so how can there be open book oh the CA's are still open book

really yo I okay I took history in like secondary school still sec four ya


ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya


wait isn't that isn't that like social studies, oh social studies is just singapore singapore context right, oh dude you know you know okay you know what the thing about the thing about uh social studies is everything is just like propaganda honestly ya ya ya ya ya good governance and all the examples are like are like singapore examples ya


, ya, I think I think mother tongue mother tongue SS ya ya ya


wait so near the A H one J C education, why, oh four no okay okay

in the within the first four days or five days like my my the language comes back to me like it was always there you know and like I pick up I pick up fast there and then like slowly my thoughts like start to become naturally in in like my <tamil>மலையாளம்:malayalam</tamil> ya

ya then after that <tamil>இல்ல அது முடிஞ்சிப்போய் சாப்பிட்டு:illa athu mudinjipoi saptu</tamil> can go and eat dinner eh, king albert park how how


and then one hour so you all you're you already eat first then you all went there, oh you never drive ah


a bit <tamil>கஷடம்ல:kasatamla</tamil> ah to go there google maps google maps so from MRT you have to walk a bit


oh no bus oh ya okay okay, yes


now chelsea in the league we like I think fifth I think


if I'm not wrong


but I like the <tamil>அதன் அந்த வழிகளை:athan antha vazhakala</tamil> lah wake up sleep do your own thing slack


my school is now home based so <tamil>எல்லாம் பாருங்க வீட்டுல இருந்து:yellam paarunga veetula irunthu</tamil> CCA always have a laptop then you can just see the live classes anyway we miss the class it will be recorded recorded ah so you can play back and see also by right yes


but need to take attendance so have to wake up, so in school my CCA is floorball lah floorball <tamil>ஆரம்பிச்சி ஒரு ரெண்டு வருஷம் ஆயிட்டு:aarambichi oru rendu varusam aayetu</tamil> so <tamil>போயிடு இருக்குல்ல:poitu irukula</tamil> lah is I wouldn't say I'm like the best but working towards there goalkeeper in school vice president right in the floorball team ya so we have a school level competition plus


I also have my own outside commitment lah play for club lah no I stop playing already


that's damn far that is damn far


that's not too bad lah for school price


right right


oh so she will order for you and your brother at home oh the Bento box ah


even if he goes support him also lah


I will start to work once I graduate lah because now also you have okay my final year so in the year <tamil>முடிச்சி அப்புறம் வெளிய வர அடுத்த வருஷ:mudichi apram veliya vara adutha varusa</tamil> june ah you know so hopefully by then there will be a job available lah but then now because of this COVID thing ah job err <tamil>தேட கொஞ்சம் கஷ்டம்:theada konjam kastam</tamil> job <tamil>இருந்தாலும் மாறி கெடைக்காது:irunthaalum maari kedaikathu</tamil> must do all the odd odd jobs kind of thing you know so hopefully lah hopefully by then


the market open up then I can start doing also ya because I so when I want to work part time cause I got back problems so anytime I work part time they ask me to go and leave heavy things that at the warehouse so includes politically you pretty kind of ya the customer call lah cause remember now nor are they couldn't analogues to uh from uh


but that's a good money, so <tamil>வேலை செய்யும்போது என்ன மாறி வெல்ல:vella seiyumbothu enna maari vella</tamil> is it like <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> easy <tamil>ஆனா வெள்ளைய இல்ல கஷ்டமா இருக்குமா:aana vellaya illa kastama irukuma</tamil> very like leh got this dish on very dramatically wrong maisie maisie now because I'm the church leh analysis service you forgot


so during the service let's say one hour service then one hour is your own time


ya that's very slack if <tamil>வேலை இருந்த ஏன் கிட்ட சொல்லுல:vella iruntha yean kita sollula</tamil> cause I also wouldn't mind working there for a short while


!wah! then that's damn fast sia that's quite efficient


ya <tamil>நேத்து தான்:neathu thaan</tamil> prime minister <tamil>பேசுனன் அவன் சொன்னான் இறுதி ஏதந்தீயத்திலேந்து:peasunan avan sonan iruvathi eatantheathilanthu</tamil> phase three <tamil>ஆரம்பிக்கும் இப்போ வெளியாய் போன இப்போ அஞ்சி பெரு ஆனா அப்புறம் வந்து:aarambikum ipo veliay pona ipo anji peru aana apram vanthu</tamil> how many people can go eight people ah can go


but I think still need lah, bring their token


I mean that's nice for them to come by and celebrate his birthday end of the day family is family


no wonder


so how often will you say they go out and have drinks with your friends or your cousins


that's quite nice what


oh that place because there's one near my house also I always I always hit the spot is quiet right it's a very chill place so <tamil>அங்க போன நீ ஏன் கிட்ட கூப்புடுல நானும்:anga pona nee yean kita koopudula naanum</tamil> oh that's very near right right


so now you also all home base learning lah


so <tamil>வீட்டுல வீட்டுல வந்து:veetula veetula vanthu</tamil> class <tamil>எடுக்கும் போது:yeadukum bothu</tamil> laptop use <tamil>பண்ணும் போது:panum bothu</tamil> will they record your, will they record your face and see whether you are attending or is it like a free and easy can off your laptop and mute your audio


ya because mine really like quite boring so ya he keep talking talking he won't stop then he give activity also he will give the towards the end also then not say we will do activities because he is not really checking up on us so you can off the audio of the video also he won't know that we haven't actually been listening to the class also correct that's the thing about home based learning lah but hopefully the phase three uh <tamil>aarambikumbothu</tamil> we can


distractions


so what have you been doing your past home based learning sia your class all


but you are still young what you still can find other girls it's not the end of the world


maybe <tamil>அதன் அந்த ப்ரெசன் நீ ஆரம்பத்துல ரொம்ப அவளை:athan antha prechan nee aarambathula romba avala</tamil> invest like you too much investment on her lah so whatever when something bad happens then you will think about it a lot a lot a lot


just gonna take it chill lah if you ask me like don't don't force things like really don't force things like just take it, take it as the flow leads you all and then like if the if next time happens then it happens ah don't force it to happen ya


that is very conflicting already ya even if I were you I would be damn confused also lah


I think that's the only advice I give you just really that don't force it even if she forcing you also right it is also part of your responsibility to also step it down also


like let's say like err if <tamil>அவ வந்து இனிதிட்டே பண்ணல நீனும் சோழனும் இது ரொம்ப:ava vanthu initiate pannala neenum solanum ithu romba</tamil> too much <tamil>ஆயிட்டு இருக்கு:aayetu iruku</tamil> you also have to like tell her


ya I think that's okay


I mean that's quite nice that the fact that you wanted her you wanted to introduce her to your family and your cousins plus your mom all that but do you think is too early for that stage because now no girl ah when <tamil>என்னக்கு:ennaku</tamil> girlfriend <tamil>இருக்கும் போதுள்ள நான் கொஞ்சம் ஒரு:irukum bothula naan konjam oru</tamil> few <tamil>மாசத்துக்கு நான்:masathuku naan</tamil> wait


eh don't disturb


so <tamil>நீ சொன்ன சொல்லிட்டு:nee sonna solitu</tamil> it seems to me that all of them are really supportive of you whatever you do and all that they actually ya because when I was younger maybe not when I was about


ya maybe it's an age thing once you get older


nice to have older cousins because they also experience what you are experiencing now so then ya then they give you like legit real time real life advice


so when the young time have you got into like trouble like someone called you drinking or they told you off they told your parents


I'm sure you Kena a lot of backlash from your family


I mean I think he also damn look at and affect that he sees the younger guy drinking maybe it's a social obligation to tell your mum lah but then if <tamil>ஆவரேய வந்து உங்கிட்ட தண்ணி குடுத்து இப்பிடி சொன்ன:aavarey vanthu unkita thanni kuduthu ipidi sonna</tamil> that's another issue


that's the part that I still don't understand also lah I mean like as long as he happy then there's


you have to be the top of the top of his batch to qualify for this course right I think he was he is that's why he got the spot there ya


ya that's what that is one of the requirements so


maybe he is wearing a facet at home like <tamil>வீட்டுல வந்து கொஞ்சம்:veetula vanthu konjam</tamil> quiet eh <tamil>இருப்பாங்க ஆனா வெளிய பொய்:irupanga aana veliya poi</tamil> friends <tamil>லாம் இருக்கும் போது பேசு பேசு பேசுவான்:lam irukum bothu peasu peasu peasuvan</tamil> this type of thing maybe is just who he is lah I guess <tamil>சில இப்போ இது:silla ipo ithu</tamil> are like that they already they cannot express themself with families so with friends then they express themselves


that's the main thing also lah but K maybe he's still young then maybe he get older then start to realise this kind of things about an apparently has been doing that for the past twenty everyday is your cousin lah so you have to support him are already lah ya I mean diabetes brother loud also like he doesn't really speak their much this brother so, then again he is your cousin also lah so you have to support him all the way lah


maybe he went out to drink with his OCS friends so you know maybe so after they come out of camp on a friday night was it a friday night I mean if he don't have his OCS friend then might be on a weekend or that on his book out day so maybe that's why he wants to spend time with them lor


maybe it's just a phase his army phase when he is going through this kind of thing lah <tamil>ஆனா ப்ரெசன் வந்து இந்த மாறி:aana prechan vanthu intha maari</tamil> character he bring forward after army then that will be a problem lah if you ask me


so how how I how are you with him


with your with your that cousin ah I mean <tamil>நான் பாக்கும் போதுலாம் பேசுவான் ஆனா பேசுறதுக்கு கொஞ்சம் கஷ்டமா இருக்கும்:naan paakum bothulam peasuvan aana peasurathuku konjam kastama irukum</tamil> so like so you know to start the start the ball rolling is a bit tough lah but then you know you say it here like it's like you said like whenever he is there also feels like he is not there right


alone no only in


but he's older oh older brother ah ya by right ya


and so the COVID situation COVID time I think government right now is the most safer job I mean army job is to me the most safer job lah cause they won't really force people to quit and all it is a very safe job the money also is quite good also so I think is really I think should advise him to go and take it but they say he also <tamil>நீ சொல்றன் அவன் இந்த மாறி ஆனா ஆள்புலம்:nee solran avan intha maari aana aalulam</tamil> so camp lah <tamil>இருக்கும் போது:irukum bothu</tamil> regular ah


ya correct so <tamil>இப்போ நீ வீட்டுல போம்போது நீ வீட்டுல பொய் என்ன பொய் செய்த:ipo nee veetula pompothu nee veetula poi enna poi seiva</tamil> oh that's nice ya


maybe around one two AM we finished lah so if you are around that area that late you let me know lah I can come and pick you up


teammates <tamil>கூட அது சாப்பிட்டு முடிஞ்சி அது நேரம் பன்னண்டு ஆயிடும்:kooda athu saptu mudinji athu neram panandu aayedum</tamil> most of us have car lah so we will just share like three four person drive then all squeeze into one car that kind of thing usually


personally I believe that ghosts exist but I don't think


I know I've seen a lot of like possessed videos online where it's like really people going to trends or like I think that's a bit uh fake but then I do believe ghosts have certain abilities to sort of affect your life in a sense that


err maybe you would feel you you are feeling cold one night or you see something that is there but is not supposed to be there this kind of thing


I think the #pasir ris# you talking about right is near the #pasir ris# beach <tamil>என்ன அங்கலாம் கொஞ்சம் காட இருக்கும் எல்லாம் மரம் தான் ராத்திரி வந்து:enna angalam konjam kaada irukum ellam maram thaan rathiri vanthu</tamil> so


where is the place exactly


okay then we can ya is very near my new house then <tamil>பக்கத்துல நெறய எடத்துல எண்டலம் இருக்கு சப்புடா:pakathula neraya eadathula yeadalam iruku sapuda</tamil> so <tamil>அதுலாம் பாத்துட்டு பொய் சாப்பிடலாம் இல்ல சாப்பிட்டு முடிச்சிட்டு பொய் அதுலாம் பாக்கலாம்:athulam paathutu poi sapdalam illa saptu mudichitu poi athulam paakalam</tamil> now it's a hotel and the hotel recently like close down cause they got no business


so maybe it's abandoned hotel lah so even there it's even good lah there used to a bar at the hotel that me and my friends always go to probably last year before this whole COVID thing like it was a filipino bar lah so the people working there all filipino also all that


restricted in the sense that you have to limit yourself to five only this kind of thing now also the vaccine come out so come out already so by next year Q three everyone will be vaccinated so vaccinated <tamil>அம்மா:aama</tamil> so


it's not compulsory but they advice <tamil>ஆமா கொஞ்சம் காய்ச்சலை இருக்கும் மண்டை கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் பண்ணும்:aama konjam kaichala irukum manda konjam konjam pannum</tamil> I mean is all normal thing lah they came up with it within a very short period of time


I think is one of the I think it is the worst pandemic we have had in like the modern age modern age of the world too many deaths and all singapore one also it's more than SARS when we had SARS but the reason why we're not like talking about it so seriously because SARS wasn't handled very well because the technology we have you know <tamil>ஆனா:aana</tamil> COVID <tamil>நாலா:naala</tamil> phone <tamil>லாம் இருக்கு செய்தி:laam iruku seithi</tamil> check <tamil>பண்ணலாம்:panalam</tamil> easily so the


if I don't see a need then I wouldn't no what's the point but then if my family like forced to take or they force me, for safety reasons right especially going to a plane to go overseas soon or what then ya I think it's a must that I have to take at that period not but is free for singaporeans ya so is free so you really don't have to do anything you just literally go and get yourself pierced end of december the first batch will come to singapore


but the first people using will be the healthcare the front line workers they need the most


it is restricting in some sense but is all for the safety, ya ya is quite maybe other countries all the lesser developed countries <tamil>வாங்கலாம் கொஞ்ஞம் கஷ்டமா இருக்கும் இந்த மாறி ஆனா:avangalam konjam kastama irukum intha maari aana</tamil> virus lah


okay how are you how's your day, what time you woke up


until


understand lah understand lah ya so easily done until so long lah then I also a bit, oh but you like you got do your work right so you eat lunch already lah


so what's the plan later lah at night


today I just I maybe gonna play soccer later lah soccer then I'm meeting my friends also at night for supper then you just relax <tamil>அப்புறம் வீட்டுக்கு பொய்:apram veetuku poi</tamil> sleep lah, supper this ah err maybe woodlands <tamil>இல்லனா:illana</tamil> or #tiong bahru#


oh okay okay what time, oh I will be going ten plus woodlands causeway point you know causeway point, K lah <tamil>பாப்போம்:paapom</tamil> lah if free please come pick me up lah okay lah I will update you lah


so tomorrow what plan no class ah [orh], then no class means you doing nothing at home ah


!aiya! if free then I will update you lah I will let you know, if go also where you want to go sia


oh is it the sky garden can go lah I very long never go there also


you depends on your budget you know what you plan you know


she the fun type or sit down, I mean got can go to a lot of place places lah depends on what you all want to do also


err museum lah, for singaporeans free so for all the national museums right singaporeans can enter for free


lunch first lunch first okay so you pick her up then you lunch first then you go museum at night lah or maybe evening you can a museum until they will they will more run very late


like so if I bring her I bring her around six plus will be there until eight


that time you say you went to this axe place right like throwing axe where is that, oh that is near king albert park sixth avenue lah it's like one long it's on the blue line


bro then one hour so you all went to eat first then you all went there


so err this got any upcoming match or not last night game they win or what


ah I saw I saw that face also, anyway ya because now I know I support man U lah then they out of the champions league they out of the champions league already no choice and now what you all which place second


right eh right below manchester lah if I'm not wrong hence yes it is ya lah what what do you do sia in your free time what do you do


all the way home base ah recorded lah so actually that means if your class at eight AM you don't need to wake up at eight AM lah you can you watch again at eight PM right but you will wake up on time or not


so you will wake up on time lah [orh] then this one you were saying err this one floorball right tell me more about it


you play keeper right captain or what vice president right so you all have your own league ah like you all will versus other schools or


but you don't you don't play soccer already ah in club all, okay lah school <tamil>வந்து இப்போ நான்:vanthu ipo naan</tamil> mechanical engineering <tamil>எடுக்குறான்:yeadukuran</tamil> so <tamil>நான் வந்து கொஞ்சம் கஷ்டம் தான்:naan vanthu konjam kastam thaan</tamil> but IT IT just like so <tamil>கொஞ்சம் நான் வந்து:konjam naan vanthu</tamil> school <tamil>கு பொய்:ku poi</tamil> slack <tamil>பங்கிட்டு படிச்சிட்டு கொஞ்சம் வீட்டுக்கு வருவான்:panitu padichitu konjam veetuku varuvan</tamil> but one thing my school very far one and one hour fifty minutes travel


from here to school from my house from my house to the MRT already about seven minutes so I have to walk damn fast I walked have to take the MRT change train from there I have to go to #yio chu kang# so is very long lah and it's very tiring lah if if I have class at eight I have to wake up at five thirty just to bathe


err <tamil>நல்ல செய்யலைன்னா சீத்தாப்பழம் யேசுனாங்க எல்லாரும் யேசுனாங்க அண்ணா என்னாகும் என்ன சொல்றதுன்னு தெரில:nalla seiyalana chittappalam yeasunanga ellarum yeasunanga anna ennakum enna solrathunu terila</tamil> like but I lost the motivation to study lah but slowly slowly now I know I need to study is ITE is not the end of studies lah I don't want my brother to go ITE but if he goes to ITE then just ya but he's growing up lah ya support lah because


I know what it feels like to not be supported right so he went if he goes to ITE is okay but just will take him four years so by the time he's twenty one then only he will be going to poly and taking diploma then my mum is particular my mom wanted me to take a masters but at this rate I don't know so because she wants


so <tamil>அங்க:anga</tamil> eight o'clock start <tamil>நான் வீட்டுக்கு:naan veetuku</tamil> eight PM <tamil>தான் போக முடியும்:thaan poga mudiyum</tamil> ah long hours lah break one hour lah so I don't know it's very hard for me like I I have to carry then I will sweat and then my back will hurt so but now I'm doing a job lah now I'm doing a a temperature taking in my school so uh I mean my in my church so every sunday I will go and do so I'm earning hundred and twenty per day


it's quite good very good I calculated also is about twelve dollars per hour ya it's very good so ya I'm doing that so cause I got a lot of commitments of bills to pay and all that have to lah


and so half an hour before the service <tamil>எல்லாரும் வருவாங்க அப்போதான் நான்:ellarum varuvanga apothaan naan</tamil> temperature <tamil>எடுக்கணும்:yeadukanum</tamil> so service time <tamil>யாரும் வர முடியாது:yaarum vara mudiyathu</tamil> service time right own time break ya everytime so their service is eight eight thirty means I have to work from eight O clock to eight thirty then eight thirty to nine thirty I can sleep


then the next service will be eleven thirty then I can go out I can come back again at eleven ya that's very slack and they are paying so much for it so I'm thankful that I got this job


very easy then ah on the day itself when I work finish when I go home they will pay me the money


ya she will just give transfer me the money straight to my bank account when I when I finish work, so and the shift is very slack she will give you lunch break so you can just do I mean as long as you do work properly and but it's gonna it's gonna end because now I heard phase three coming right phase three


ya, I think eight or less ya correct so ya because when phase three starts then don't need this trace together thing anymore I mean need but by then everyone will have the token

so very easily will lose focus so won't be that attentive as compared to go school right when you were like inside classroom then you are forced to listen to the teacher and all that I think the environment matters lah in terms of the class all that

but the way she talks to me though the thing she say made me attached to her ya


so what should I do lah to make things better to make myself feel better


ya sometimes I realise that <tamil>நான் வந்து ரொம்ப:naan vanthu romba</tamil> force <tamil>பண்றன்:panran</tamil> like <tamil>என்ன அவா அவ்ளோ பிடிக்கும்:enna avaa avlo pidikum</tamil> so <tamil>நான் ரொம்ப:naan romba</tamil> force <tamil>பண்றன் என்னக்கு டெரிலாலை:panran ennaku terilala</tamil> ya I mean I wanted to be proper like she <tamil>அவளும் எங்கிட்ட கலையகம் பத்தி பேசுவ எப்போ பாத்தாலும்:avalum yeankita kalayanam pathi peasuva epo paathalum</tamil> so I don't know <tamil>என்னக்கு டெரிலாலை:ennaku terilala</tamil> I don't know how to react when she talks about marriage like I love that she talks about marriage and all that but it's a bit too early


and she talks about marriage which is too fast but she's telling me to take things slow so like and when I asked her she says <tamil>நான் கேக்கும் போது அவ சொல்லுவா:naan keakum bothu ava soluva</tamil> no we're not boyfriend girlfriend but but when


err she will call me baby and all that but then she will text me and say oh I cannot go one day without talking to you so if that's not boyfriend girlfriend then what is it like you know and usually err <tamil>நம்ம யாரு கிட்ட:namma yaaru kita</tamil> I love you <tamil>சொல்லுவோம் நம்ம:soluvom namma</tamil> boyfriend <tamil>கிட்டயோ:kittayo</tamil> girlfriend <tamil>கிட்டயோ தான நம்ம:kittayo thaana namma</tamil> friends <tamil>கிட்ட:kitta</tamil> I love you <tamil>சொல்ல மாட்டோம் தான அவ ஏன் கிட்ட:solla maatom thaana ava yean kita</tamil> I love you <tamil>சொல்லுவா என்னக்கு தெரில:soluva ennaku terila</tamil> boyfriend girlfriend eh <tamil>இல்ல என்ன:illa enna</tamil> how you tell me


ya like you did do you say I love you to your friends


so <tamil>என்னக்கு தெரில எப்பிடி:ennaku terila yepidi</tamil> every like how to move on from here you were telling me to take it chill so I'm down to taking it chill but I don't get what to do


take it chill that don't force even if she force you solid he part of your responsibility to also stepping down also


oh <tamil>ஆனா என்னக்கு அது பிடிக்குமே:aana ennaku athu pidikumey</tamil> I like it like when she initiate things like that I like it like because the thing about me is like I yesterday I was thinking about it is like we jogging like that together so I'm jogging at her pace so if she go faster I will go faster she go slower I have to go slower also something like that then


so like I am <tamil>என்னக்கு வந்து நானும் கொஞ்சம்:ennaku vanthu naanum konjam</tamil> confused eh <tamil>இருக்கான்:irukan</tamil> because sometimes she will say err let's take it slow then she will text me and say when you gonna ask me on a date then so I wanted to ask her to right to be my girlfriend like officially but when when do you think I should ask


give me a date, err is christmas too early because I just started talking to her for


september I started talking to her and she was still attached to her ex


I wanted her to meet them it was very important to me and all that cause family so err <tamil>ஆனா வந்து அவ வீட்டுல கொஞ்ச நாளைக்கி பிரச்னை இருக்கு அவலோடிய அம்மா வந்து இப்பிடி பேசுனா அவ ஏன் கிட்ட சொன்ன:aana vanthu ava veetula konja naalaiki prechana iruku avalodiya amma vanthu ipidi peasuna ava yean kita sonna</tamil> oh I cannot come so <tamil>நான் வந்து:naan vanthu</tamil> I cannot force her to come you told me not to force things so I just say it's okay if cannot then it's okay lah


ya but she I'm sad that she cannot come to my house I mean that's quite nice that affect me wanted hurt you wanted


true <tamil>ஆனா ஏன்:aana yean</tamil> plan <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> not to introduce her as my girlfriend but as a friend not like not like my plan was not to go and say this is my friend I I just wanted to go and say err this is Lashana you can call her Lashana so uh if my mum ask is this your friend I would say no but I won't say anything else but ah recently I told my dad that I like this girl


then I told my dad <tamil>நான் அப்பா கிட்ட சொன்னான் அப்பா இந்த பொண்ணு பிடிக்கிது அப்போ எப்பிடி:naan appa kita sonnan appa intha ponnu pidikithu apo epidi</tamil> then he told me uh okay but <tamil>ஆனா நல்ல மோதலை படி நானும் சொன்னான் ஆமா படிப்பு தான் முக்கியம்:aana nalla mothala padi naanum sonnan ama padipu thaan mukkiyam</tamil> okay okay I study properly first then after that can ya, my cousins also told me to study first but ya they are also jokers lah they whatever but they give good advice all but when that's why when family the thing I learned the most is family means they will always be there lah for you


like I was saying also about about like so I usually because I am one of the youngest in my family so I usually talk to my older brother sisters about all this so they know what to tell me and all that lah


they actually are because when I was younger maybe not when I was about fourteen thirteen wheni didn't really, wasn't very close to them because I was that young and my cousins are either four years older than me or seven years older than me so when I became sixteen seventeen then they started to talk to me they started to open up I know I we both open up and then ya that's when we started hanging out then I told them about my problem because even though that big age group is still a youth age and so they understand whatever prompts I'm going through they have went through all that so they are helping me lah ya


and more filtered advice because some people will give you rubbish advice will just tell you you know you do this you do that everybody but family will never ever ask me do something stupid because in the end is family they don't want to see you be bad or something


when I was younger I experience when I was around sixteen or fifteen I I followed my cousin it was a gathering at my cousin's place so this cousin is my big cousin <tamil>அவரு வந்து ஒரு முப்பத்தி ரெண்டு வயசு இருக்கும் அப்புறம் அவரோட வீட்டுல ஒரு:avaru vanthu oru mopathi rendu vayasu irukum apram aavaroda veetula oru</tamil> party <tamil>இருக்குது அப்புறம் நானும் பொன்னன் நானும் பொய்:irukuthu apram naanum ponnan naanum poi</tamil> I went to play PS four and all that so when I was playing then my


my cousins were drinking outside so <tamil>நான் வந்து என்னக்கு கொஞ்சம் ஆச:naan vanthu ennaku konjam aasa</tamil> try <tamil>பண்ணனும்னு நான் கொஞ்சம் எடுத்துட்டு:pannanumnu naan konjam eaduthutu</tamil> try <tamil>பண்ணன் என்ன ஏன்:pannan enna yean</tamil> family <tamil>தான் நானு அன்னான் தான் அன்னான் அன்னையோட:thaan naanu annan thaan annan annaoda</tamil> cup <tamil>தான் எடுத்து குடிச்சான் நானு நான் கொஞ்சம் குடிச்சான் அப்புறம் தெரில யாரோ ஒரு:thaan yeaduthu kudichan naanu naan konjam kudichan apram terila yaaro oru</tamil> uncle some random uncles saw saw that I was drinking


and went and what he did was he went to tell my mother that I drank and so I mean I was very angry at first lah I did I got a lot of backlash from my family but one thing I know is I had fun that day so I will never regret what I did that day and whoever that uncle is or wherever he is I hope he is okay lah ya


so ya but I mean I know the legal drinking age is eighteen and all that but all I did was take a sip from my brother cup and I don't see anything wrong when my brother just give me something to drink cause anyway he is my brother he is there to take care of me so if I'm drinking at some void deck with my friends and all that if my mom wants to scold me okay but this one I'm drinking with my brothers so ya


oh okay okay he got the top cadet but


why why is he doing that ah but <tamil>ஆனா:aana</tamil> OCS lah from what I know to go in OCS you must be a very outspoken person you must be an extrovert, ya you must be very extrovert you must be able to talk to others to help others but so if he is unable to do that in his the comfort of his home how is he going to do that when he is outside or is he wearing a facet at home


but he has to realise that at the end of the day only your family won't judge you that's the main thing


but I tell you he has been doing that for the past twenty years, ya I mean I pity his brother a lot also like he he doesn't really speak that much to his brother so like then like do a go at you mission me about it then you're going to his cousin and celebrate your your brother's birthday so you have a lot of another level I lay now rather daily lay on our Selamat ago so he's black he's brother's birthday


his own brother birthday <tamil>அவன்:avan</tamil> late eh <tamil>வரன்:varan</tamil> so <tamil>நானும் கொஞ்சம் கடுப்பாளா இருந்தான் நான் என்ன செய்றதுன்னு தெரில நான் அவன் கிட்ட பொய் பேசுனன் ஏன் இவ்ளோ:naanum konjam kadupala irunthan naan enna seirathunu terila naan avan kita poi peasunan yean ivlo</tamil> late eh <tamil>எல்லாம் அவன் சொல்றன் அவன் போதைல இருக்கானு குடிச்சிட்டு பாஹேலா இருக்கானு என்னக்கு என்ன பண்றதுனே தெரில:ellam avan solran avan bothaila irukaanu kudichitu bohaila irukanu ennaku enna panrathuney terila</tamil> so


I what I did was I asked him like how can you be late so he he he told me that like he just went with his brother he went out with his friends and he came home


but honestly he have to put his family as a priority lah, was it a friday night but as far as I remember it was a monday night


ya it was a monday night I remember it very clearly it was a monday night I thought he was in his camp that's why he couldn't come but when I ask his family they say no he went out which is surprising because you want your family to be there on your birthday ya so it's quite sad to see that he is like that but what to do his family and you all accept him still and all lah


ya maybe lah so anyways army is two years only so it will end fast


like if he is a working adult and he brings forward this type of err Immatureness is quite uncalled for lah and I don't want to see this in my family also ya it will feel like our family is like breaking apart and I don't want that I want all my brothers and sisters to be together you know ya


so how how how are you with him, ya with my cousin


ya true cause he is not very expressive with what he says but ya so in like so you've never really gone out with him alone is it have you, but he drives also right he also drive from what I heard also half the time the car with from what I heard half the time the car with him then the brother also will be quite angry at the fact that he doesn't even get to use the car when he's going and his brother is older than him lah so so by right by right should have the variety but then


he doesn't think about his family all ya so but I what from what he told from what he told I went out with him the other day we went to cut hair so from what he told me he is planning to sign on in army what do you feel about that


oh because it is a service right oh


ya true lah but it's okay lah let him whatever he does he does, let's not dwell on him and all that <tamil>இப்போ வந்து நான் வீட்டுக்கு பொய் கொஞ்ச நேரம் தூங்குவான் என்ன நான்:ipo vanthu naan veetuku poi konja neram thunguvan enna naan</tamil> night lah <tamil>வெளிய போறான்:veliya poran</tamil> so <tamil>இப்போ கொஞ்ச நேரம் தூங்குவான் ஏன்:ipo konja neram thunguvan yean</tamil> friends all <tamil>வீட்டுக்கு வராங்க:veetuku varanga</tamil> to play PS four ya they will come we play FIFA and all that we play for awhile after that I'll go out and I'll probably be home quite late lah


so you also going for your movie right, oh okay so you are driving lah


so around what time will that be


can can definitely but I think today is a very chill night I'm just gonna be home I won't be home at two I will be home earlier but friday night from what I know I'm going out until very late so you fridays I have training schools already early is bit the training on tuesday and


friday then


so you will drive lah


but your friends will drop you home lah if you don't have the car will they drop you home


oh cool linda or the state basketball okay beside the executor a new party you know read, another, [orh] okay so <tamil>இது:ithu</tamil> you were telling me about uh this shop called springleaf right that day we went remember

oh okay you try already lah


for dinner maybe then dinner then ya sure can lah ya sounds like a good plan oh <tamil>காடி இல்லனா:gaadi illana</tamil> other cousin Laveen he has a car also can ask him lah ya he can drive


ya <tamil>தண்ணி போட்டு:thanni pottu</tamil> let's spend time lah because I heard you are shifting house right you are here temporary right


but what happened to the what happened to the boy


so he stab his own father but is the evidence there oh at the same condo that you are going to stay oh that is very dangerous


but do you believe that they will they can possess someone to do things for them


yes correct but because I have heard a lot of stories and <tamil>நான் கேள்வி பட்டன் அம்மா சொல்லி இருகாங்க:naan kealvi pattan amma solli irukanga</tamil> like #pasir ris# there <tamil>ரொம்ப:romba</tamil> abnormal activities <tamil>நடந்து இருக்கு:nadanthu iruku</tamil> so <tamil>கொஞ்சம்:konjam</tamil> scary lah


but for you okay lah like you not really scared of the dark and all that right oh you have been to #pasir ris# beach [orh] ghost hunters oh never get at all is it


err real ghosts stories unusual stories so I believe that there's something there but mostly I think is your mind also lah I always think that is your mind and all that lah


from dawson right you just drive instead of turning into dawson you drive all the way straight is near holland village there the MRT station so you all the way straight and then you turn left but some people say that when you drive and go into that lane your engine will stop so they were saying this type of thing but I don't believe lah but we I didn't go in car me and friends I walk there so ya we went to see is very scary K there was like many graffiti there's many like satanic words on the wall and all that like people spray paint


and then there were but and then suddenly out of nowhere we were walking the flashlight we saw a doll in the middle of the room just some random doll err it was a girl doll and we didn't but we didn't touch anything so we went to see we see and then we just left


ya I also I wanted to go there with my friends but <tamil>பொழிய:polaya</tamil> oh you want to go or not I don't mind we go and see, ya can can the hospital is near your new house is it oh okay we can go and check it out lah ya oh okay but the place is uh is it broken now


it's quite scary ya when was this when you all went


oh okay okay easy Tagalog is it ya so ya I mean in the COVID <tamil>நாலா:naala</tamil> are you more restricted to things I mean of course lah like going out but do you do don't do like like this new rules


then have to wear the mask also actually I'm okay lah is just that err when go out also because my


my friend group is very large is about ten people but we cannot go as a group so whenever we go have to go as five people have to split ya and the thing about my good friend group is that not everyone is extrovert so I have to sit with a few introverts and talk to them so have you had any experience in this kind of thing with some of your friends oh <tamil>இப்போ எட்டு பெரு தான:ipo ettu peru thaana</tamil> err


optional okay oh


oh <tamil>ஆனா என்னக்கு நான் கேள்வி பட்டன் அந்த:aana ennaku naan kealvi pattan antha</tamil> vaccine <tamil>ஏடுத்த கொஞ்சம்:yaedutha konjam</tamil> side effect <tamil>இருக்கும்னு:irukumnu</tamil> oh ya ya after that I mean


I mean but is this COVID thing really dangerous or is it just over talked about over, oh ya is it but now because we have all these


so so are you going to take the vaccine if it comes down to it and if I don't see a need then I wouldn't know what the point but then if I have family like forced to or you force me for your safety if you all go as a family you then right especially going to a plane to go overseas soon or what ya then ya I think it's a master you have to take it at a period or because since you said it's fifty one dollars and means Dubai is free for singapore residents were sponsored right ya so it's free ya suddenly you really you don't do anything you just literally down there and get it gets appears there oh okay so wait so this vaccine is out already or is it making or is it done end of december the first batch will come to singapore, if you all go as a family oh ya ya oh because since you said is fifty one dollars oh ya is sponsored right so ya just go down there and get injection wait so this vaccine is out already or is it making or is it done


ya ya ya because they are dealing with this everyday ya correct so <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> vaccine <tamil>வந்து வந்தோனே எங்க பொய் எடுக்கணும்:vanthu vanthoney enga poi yeadukanum</tamil> hospital <tamil>லய:laya</tamil> oh


so <tamil>இந்த நம்ம:intha namma</tamil> vaccine <tamil>எடுத்த:yeadutha</tamil> do we still need to wear mask, ya you won't get because I <tamil>என்னக்கு:ennaku</tamil> mask <tamil>போடா என்னக்கு ரொம்ப பிடிக்கல:poda ennaku romba pidikala</tamil> until today ah really <tamil>போடும் போது எரிச்சலை இருக்கும்:podum bothu earichala irukum</tamil> and whenever I leave the house also like where's where's my mask where's my mask ya


like also let's say you going out on a day and you going out somewhere with like your girlfriend all you want to look nice and then you have to wear the mask and all that then like let's say you want to kiss your girlfriend also it's like very it's very very complicated lah just don't know how to and like you want to see her also it's like she's wearing a mask so it's quite hard lah


I mean don't you feel like you know restricting all for the safety lah but apparently COVID is quite relaxed now like not many people dying from it zero death or something right ya so but uh singapore is dealing it well but like other countries india and all that oh can lah it's a good talk lah ya ya


so davin <mandarin>你今天:ni jin tian</mandarin> do what


talk about catching up with your friends <mandarin>我今天也是有:wo jin tian ye shi you</mandarin> catch up, so today <mandarin>你去:ni qu</mandarin> suntec I go Bugis, basically is to catch up with old my secondary school friends we went


to eat #miam miam#, I think they prefer something different lah so they ate, , what err


chicken, curry rice, we enjoy oh wait , basically we spend most of our time talking


bring back a lot of <mandarin>很好的回忆:hen hao de hui yi</mandarin> lah from secondary school cause it's been like what, ten years like we knew each other for ten years and then, there's a lot of memories


and, , secondary school we don't have to err study so much


as in like after school we will just go like err cinema <mandarin>唱:chang</mandarin> K, but now we cannot already too much lah cause everybody busy working, then <mandarin>有空:you kong</mandarin> can go out lor if not very hard to


meet up and find a, , , like the, right time, for us,


but I think after COVID, err, I don't really like I mean I find that, more K dramas are more popular nowadays so recently I started watching


start up


I can not really say there's any okay, to tell you which one I prefer but of of course if I compared to


last time when I watch more for <mandarin>那几年:na ji nian</mandarin> ah, , actually <mandarin>蛮多了:man duo le</mandarin> lah, I I like boys over flowers,


pinocchio, good doctors, actually <mandarin>突然你突然间:tu ran ni tu ran jian</mandarin> ask me I cannot think of any, , err I mean like a lot others because last time I used to have this habit of watching K drama but because <mandarin>有时候会:you shi hou hui</mandarin> switch mah K drama <mandarin>太多:tai duo</mandarin> then I will switch to err chinese drama then sometimes Mediacorp lor ah


I think like it's like some people they also like to watch anime but how <mandarin>他们不是每次看:ta men bu shi mei ci kan</mandarin> anime mah <mandarin>有时候也会:you shi hou ye hui</mandarin> switch <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> mah


I tried


don't really like it lah, like maybe I prefer <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> the real person to act rather than like cartoon cartoon, it's just not my kind, but I know there's a lot of people liking anime


if not <mandarin>为什么会有那个:wei shen me hui you na ge</mandarin> cosplay, then sometimes you see but ah is it every year I'm not very sure because I'm not the anime kind of person


but lucky it's not my kind of thing so don't need to <mandarin>跟他们挤:gen ta men ji</mandarin> lor


don't you realise that okay just for the concert itself I think you are referring to concert, those english what singers ah those #ang moh# singers


is their you see their sistic their price is so much more expensive compared to them, VIP <mandarin>更惨:geng can</mandarin> ah, then VIP what you do


I could have spend the money on something else, err but then as for the cafe to err celebrate <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> idol <mandarin>的生日:de sheng ri</mandarin> right


K pop cafe, it's basically a place to chill so I am, all along I've been studying there so I didn't realise that actually those <mandarin>粉丝:fen si</mandarin> will celebrate those ideas birthday when it's nearing or something like that as <mandarin>我从我不知道:wo cong wo bu zhi dao</mandarin> lah


, so one day when we were studying halfway, one <mandarin>粉丝:fen si</mandarin> just suddenly came to us which we didn't know because we were busy studying, she just gave us I don't know what something like a paper and pen asking us like if you are celebrating the


then so I didn't realise until I went to a section there were balloons


then <mandarin>很多人那:hen duo ren na</mandarin> ah


out of all the days we study right that day was a lot of people, so I was like !huh! why so weird <mandarin>小妹妹小弟弟:xiao mei mei xiao di di</mandarin> mother family also there, then then after that I realise that oh


they were celebrating their birthday because everybody is like holding some don't know what err some idol's card it's all the same place so I know [orh], then [orh] definite balloon what happy birthday [orh] to whoever <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> idol then of course


err it's not my kind of thing because I can see they put in a lot effort to it which is not something that I will do cause <mandarin>我跟那个人不熟:wo gen na ge ren bu shu</mandarin> so if we are not close with each other then then I will spend so much time and effort err asking your friends to sign and all these it's just not my kind of thing lah so and uh uh err after awhile when we realise that <mandarin>每个人:mei ge ren</mandarin> celebrate <mandarin>他们的生日:ta men de sheng ri</mandarin> right


we just left ah cause we don't want to hog hog the seats mah <mandarin>等一下:deng yi xia</mandarin> they will be thinking like [orh] <mandarin>你霸占我的位:ni ba zhan wo de wei</mandarin> when today is the day when we celebrate the idol's birthday


err to be honest I don't really know <mandarin>那个原因:na ge yuan yin</mandarin> lah cause, err, ya I may watch K pop err like those bands, like <mandarin>少女时代:shao nv shi dai</mandarin> this kind of err oh and I prefer those older bands but too bad err a lot I think


because <mandarin>他们已经:ta men yi jing</mandarin> reach <mandarin>一个年龄:yi ge nian ling</mandarin> so <mandarin>老了:lao le</mandarin> then I think like really now the value not that good ah so and maybe other younger K pop are,


trending now maybe because I don't know they are young and then the company is trying to, how do I say is trying to like err emphasise more on them instead of older group, , so


kind of <mandarin>有点:you dian</mandarin> upset lah, I like the second generation K pop, , I that's why I wouldn't really like ah I wouldn't really


, err like what you say spend money on it but I don't know, err but I don't know the reason why, people will, take photo of it I mean as if when the err K pop person


I'm currently in SIM university of london, basically <mandarin>那间:na jian</mandarin> university <mandarin>有很多:you hen duo</mandarin> there's like a lot of, err uni's in SIM I think it consists of eleven uni's


err that's within <mandarin>一个学校:yi ge xue xiao</mandarin> lah compound, I heard you went to NTU right !wah! <mandarin>不错:bu cuo</mandarin> eh how do you even un err


like manage to reach your goal to go NTU cause I know all along you have been aiming to go to like the err <mandarin>前三名的学校:qian san ming de xue xiao</mandarin> and now you finally get to go, ya


I agree lah, cause like, ah <mandarin>毕竟:bi jing</mandarin> uni is like the last phase before we go out and work, so definitely we will want to cherish our uni life, before we <mandarin>踏到这个:ta dao zhe ge</mandarin> err society


err, , I err because this is my last year in uni so I also want to cherish like my, , err uni live, although <mandarin>剩下好几个月了:sheng xia hao ji ge yue le</mandarin> but


still, , cherish before err start working ah <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> imagine next time real world is gonna be it's gonna be like what more than the number of times <mandarin>我们读书:wo men du shu</mandarin> eh wait <mandarin>看我们读:kan wo men du</mandarin> for how many years I is it likes <mandarin>十十多:shi shi duo</mandarin> ah


ya fifteen to eighteen years but we definitely need to work for more than fifteen to eighteen years for sure , and we also I mean like


, so basically even though now we are still studying there's also a bit of <mandarin>压力:ya li</mandarin> in us that we have to consider, , err, like, err


about, our expenses next time, new car, , and all these will definitely takes err a mean like a couple of years to build up before like I can really like start


a family , so, , like what <mandarin>人家:ren jia</mandarin> hor really must think wisely and then like to choose your job wisely, is there any current I mean is there any err


jobs in future that you want to apply or you are interested in


of course


, to be honest my, oh okay when I was young my goal okay my initial goal was to be an actor, just like you


and it's like during our times in the nineties we there's no Netflix ah those online internet those kind of there is but


then when we, when we watch those kind of like dramas especially for those like main leads, it'll will make you feel like <mandarin>你想当那个:ni xiang dang na ge</mandarin> err <mandarin>男主角:nan zhu jue</mandarin> or <mandarin>女主角对不对:nv zhu jue dui bu dui</mandarin> so I get where you're coming from when you talking about like becoming a <mandarin>演员:yan yuan</mandarin> cause definitely that's my that's err what I want to


be as in like that's my dream last time, however like why you say it's a bit hard to fulfil because we have like to , and we have education and we <mandarin>我们要读书:wo men yao du shu</mandarin> ah then, I'm just kind of err


actors job hor this kind of thing, is I don't think it's a sustain you will have a sustainable income


err to act the show, then if for years it's like that you won't have any income for years which is also, err, quite which is hard for err


so eventually err I gave it a miss and then like, just like few years later I started thinking (hmm) when K pop err became kind of popular in singapore


like <mandarin>你懂:ni dong</mandarin> we our <mandarin>中学时候:zhong xue shi hou</mandarin> people will dance those K pop ah all this on stage then of course like when you own and when you watch those K pop videos on YouTube or, those like korea website


those like very nice outfit and then like when they dance they look so good, , with


err and <mandarin>他们的身材:ta men de shen cai</mandarin> very nice, although I know like, there's no such thing as perfect person but then it makes you feel ah envious of them because like


then sometimes it makes you feel like thinking what we've been doing with your life, , but of course you are what you see on TV is definitely


not, what it seems err in, their life, err okay you will see like [orh] , <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> err


ya, ya that's why you will see like over the past few years, I okay ya past few years actually a lot of K pop idols they suicide, ya and then like you may see oh actually they look happy when they perform and everything but actually deep down inside a lot of them had depression although I didn't really like


err as in , to do further research about it but I've seen like a lot of people have like suffer from anorexia <mandarin>因为他们:yin wei ta men</mandarin> I


just have by having one anti-fans or one like , bad comments is going to like, made them feel very err upset


when they are so skinny already or say they look ugly or with plastic, definitely you will feel hurt right


err like <mandarin>不不是讲妈妈整个家人:bu bu shi jiang ma ma zheng ge jia ren</mandarin> they err are all being attacked, when they are so innocent by it, so actually this kind of things you must really like consider like all these factors who must consider before


like you want to become <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> K pop idol lah, then <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> because, I think K pop idol is just like (uh huh) actors and actresses as well because they don't really have,


freedom <mandarin>他们没有自由:ta men mei you zi you</mandarin> so err a lot of times I think they will just be trapped at home when they have no activities, err no err like when they have no activities, then there's nothing much you can do at home


what they do at home is like basically err <mandarin>画画:hua hua</mandarin> or I don't know to do some of their hobby, which is


as few years have passed right I don't think they will want to do this all the time at home


err what do you mean by err life changing like <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> factor that causes it


you all <mandarin>没有那个:mei you na ge</mandarin> trust is it


they


err I wouldn't say any okay I'm not sure if this is consider life changing, but actually there's <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> incident where I feel, , it kind of change my perspective


there's a period of time, I know how to, when I know how to swim, I used to be a very good swimmer, cause <mandarin>我爷爷以前教我:wo ye ye yi qian jiao wo</mandarin> how to swim when I was young I cannot remember the exact age maybe like


however there is a period where I think I tried to swim at one of the adult pool, I'm in like


when <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> primary three <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> I think, I tried to swim at the adult pool, and there's once because I don't know what happened but my legs accidentally slip and then I had cramps


my legs can barely touched the floor so when I had cramps I start to panic because I can't do anything to my legs and then I I tried to I can't remember if I got <mandarin>喊叫:han jiao</mandarin> for help, but I remember like struggling but nobody was there to help me


so I had to , but <mandarin>没有用:mei you yong</mandarin> because, if I move my hand but then like my body and buy my my whole body is not moving much so I tried my best to


err go to the side even with my cramps and then like, err err because you know at the side when I tried to grab at least like I know that I I got the energy to err <mandarin>让我自己浮上来:rang wo zi ji fu shang lai</mandarin> instead of like err nothing then I will really be drown inside and there's no adults there beside me


so luckily I barely managed to grab there and then of course I ran out of my breath so I think maybe because of the incident I'm really like very scared of swimming


so , even until now I, don't <mandarin>我有点怕去游泳:wo you dian pa qu you yong</mandarin> cause I to be honest I have a bit of will phobia okay not a bit kind of a phobia so whenever like when I'm


err when I'm floating on water I'm okay but anything that is like that my head goes underneath <mandarin>那个水:na ge shui</mandarin> I will start to panic really really badly, is I I don't know if people can relate to me because like of course those pro swimmers they will confirm ah <mandarin>想:xiang</mandarin> !aiya! <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> easy float <mandarin>而已:er yi</mandarin> mah <mandarin>那个脚抬上来是不是可以:na ge jiao tai shang lai shi bu shi ke yi</mandarin> but


would it be because of what phobia, so


focus and then like, that's how I think, err until now I still can't get a phobia of, but I remember cause just now you were mentioning about your life changing experience right talking about friends


err do you do you think that , err, err like what you say <mandarin>因为你的:yin wei ni de</mandarin> secondary school <mandarin>的回忆:de hui yi</mandarin> is not very good, but do you have like other secondary school friends that has a better memory or you actually like out of all your friends you will prefer those that are in your poly's or in your uni's


oh speaking of this actually this will be my next question for you but <mandarin>不用紧:bu yong jin</mandarin> since <mandarin>你都这样讲:ni dou zhe yang jiang</mandarin> okay I shall start with mine first then actually err because like we've been through this education where we go through primary school secondary school poly and uni


actually <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> hor like what a lot people say as well as in I don't know that's what I heard from others, err, out of these group of friends


actually <mandarin>最了解我的人:zui liao jie wo de ren</mandarin> is actually my secondary school friends ya I understand that you may not like, err have the same, err, thinking as me because maybe like what happen to you in secondary school but for me of course things okay definitely


[orh] this <mandarin>这什:zhe shen</mandarin> eh <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> shit things <mandarin>都是:dou shi</mandarin> will happen in secondary school <mandarin>只是看:zhi shi kan</mandarin> how Jialat it is only what but for me because ya I of course <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> face Jialat <mandarin>的人:de ren</mandarin> ah backstabbing all this kind of thing I believe a lot actually not just us a lot of people will definitely err face this kind of thing that's why we chose to let them go


and instead of course I mean like what people say what you don't want to have like !wah! one hundred group of friends about hundred of friends together
