we must, backtrack a bit


when I went to class, it was a statistics class


okay I will put my, I put my phone recording closer to us


!wah! after my statistics class you still haven't wake up yet


uh ya then after that, well then after that I had another class, eh no today I didn't have the class


do you understand what I am trying to say, well my chinese is so, I use singlish


(ugh), oh, I feel a bit embarrassed to speak in, complete singlish


we are being recorded, I don't want I am embarrassed


I agree with you, <mandarin>他们的肉:ta men de rou</mandarin> , got more seasoning


, we probably shouldn't talk about food so much, no not good


okay


where would you like to go, <mandarin>如果我们现在:ru guo wo men xian zai</mandarin> right now, can leave


walk, [orh] okay, Bali <mandarin>可是现在有:ke shi xian zai you</mandarin> COVID


when you go there what would you do


anything else would you like to play beach volleyball


you you cannot run you want to play frisbee


you just think to yourself


what are the kind of questions, you ask on the first date, like where do you where do you come from, okay where did you come from


where are you from, (uh huh), give me an answer ah


can you answer the question, I also wouldn't be here the first place, oh, so are you going to cooperate


then you went to, china, then after that you came back to singapore so tell me more about your journey that is that is what people are interested in when they ask you <mandarin>你从哪里来的:ni cong na li lai de</mandarin> very uncooperative


I have never been very


for a lot of my life I've been in singapore lor, that's why, this, that's why I know this place a bit better than you


for me, at least my whole life in the east, like I didn't have really much, opinions about any of the other places in singapore, I just


then don't eat raw food ah, then eat raw food ah, <mandarin>可是你要吃你就是要吃嘛什么是:ke shi ni yao chi ni jiu shi yao chi ma shen me shi</mandarin> bad advice good advice


err stray strands


okay lor, [orh] means you are too loud ya


okay so what what would you rather questions


so err would you rather


see everything, in one colour


pink, that was a terrible would you rather question


but got different shades of pink


black and white also you cannot see, you


ah, three legs or three hands


where would the hand come from, but it could be from your chest or from the middle of your legs


but if you got a leg coming out from your chest is even, okay, would you rather have, all your shirts be two sizes too big or have all of them be one size too small


all the girls always wear oversized T-shirt


all your shirt two sizes too big right I don't need to find clothes already I just use your thing


okay very embarrassing, okay, would you rather lose your sense of taste, or your sense of smell, smell


I agree, your answers all make a lot of sense


okay would you rather only be able to whisper or only be able to shout


I would rather be able to, whisper


yes have you tried to shout shout shout shout shout shout, right me too


or loud uncontrollable sneezing


you cannot not sneeze but you don't continuously sneeze your whole life like if you feel the need to sneeze nothing will stop it you cannot like stifle yourself


what what if it's not once in a while ya ya, like


K, would you rather live without music or without video


I think I will live without video


I do, what do you mean, this is like the time I told you I eat #bara chirashi# and you don't believe me


you can tell me what happen, but I can vibe with them and listen to their music, that's so rude I cannot watch video eh they will confirm let me listen to music with them


(mmhmm) , then then I'll have a much more interesting gaming experience


K maybe you are right, ya


okay the next question is, would you rather have your dream job, or find your true love, well what if


no eh but then you, you will find a person not a job I think I rather have a dream job


(uh huh), if it's true love, she wouldn't make me give up on my dream job


no, no, my perfect life I don't have to give up anything then let's move on, would you rather


wrestle a bear, or an alligator, so cuddly


I will wrestle an alligator, alligators cannot open their mouth if you are holding it shut, no but this is like wrestling leh so if let's say you grapple the bear right, the bear just flip around and crush you


but if I'm I'm the alligator I just close the mouth, no I just <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> just, hold grab I just grab, its mouth


so you you still rather, so are bears,


would you rather be trapped in a small room with ten thousand, tarantulas, for ten minutes or eat ten tarantulas in ten minutes, I will assume they are live


sure you can, you could


that sounds like a lie, tarantulas, damn scary


you can wear dentures also


that is true I can definitely pull off the bald look <mandarin>我我两年去:wo wo liang nian qu</mandarin> NS, eh guys guys


would you rather never be able to wear makeup again or never be able to leave the house without a full face of makeup but you can only use kids in makeup


you do like eyebrows count


I mean I already don't use makeup in my day-to-day life so meh


okay okay lah why so Kanchiong, would you rather have the ability to read people's minds or make two people fall in love but it can never be you


I rather read people's mind and then fall in love, ya, if I can read what you are thinking I know who you are and then I will form my true love, be it'll be easier for me to find my true love yes yes


I think if I knew what you are always thinking about it will be quite bad


wouldn't it be easier if you could just read my mind, read my mind


if it doesn't save properly then that's it KMS


that is horrendous


if I ask you okay if there is a python


if the python doesn't have teeth


ya like no lah, you can choose not to let the python eat you I want to know what it's like for a python to eat me


no I don't know I thought those like, oh is it I didn't know, I've seen I've seen videos of snakes like, eating random things alive


ya I guess so ya, but what if I just lay there and pretend to be dead


I don't know I just think it's a very interesting experience, you're not actually dead


ya but before the python eat all of you you stop the python, it crawl back up ya


it can be because because the python has no teeth it cannot like injure you, okay it's a pretty weird question


but what colour is it now, okay but


it doesn't really work


is the strong too smell , uh, the smell is pretty strong the first time <mandarin>你开:ni kai</mandarin> this air freshener is quite pungent


but if you get the no but if you get the ones that spray, every now and then is not so bad


or you just get the manual one lah just get the spray, whenever you walk in and it smells bad you won't do it, but why your room smell so bad


you smell bad, then you !woo!


okay would you wait so tomorrow you want to buy cereal, why not we go and buy after this


after our conversation <mandarin>我们可以走去:wo men ke yi zou qu</mandarin> Sheng Siong <mandarin>买:mai</mandarin> cereal


from Sheng Siong, oh ya you told me, you can just use one of my bowls, no just ya just use my bowl oh you mean bring to prinsep


err you could buy a plastic container, why what's wrong with plastic container people Dabao food and like have their own meal boxes everyday on plastic containers


okay lor, that is true, nah you can take any spoon you want we have quite a few, okay so, would you rather be able to run as fast as a cheetah


or fly but only as fast as a tortoise, I did so so would you rather fly like a tortoise or run like a cheetah


why leh, barely faster than everybody else


then <mandarin>你选那个可以飞的的的:ni xuan na ge ke yi fei de de de</mandarin> option <mandarin>可以可以飞可以飞的:ke yi ke yi fei ke yi fei de</mandarin> option, then you can create your own olympics mah


so you will always be first but you're the only one who can fly it's incredible, okay, what is the point of running as fast as a cheetah when you don't run


but what if you expand just as much energy, what if you expand just as much energy, !ee! to run as fast as a cheetah ya, that means you need to practice leh


okay okay, would you rather read the book or watch the movie, what if the movies really bad


same look at me, okay would you rather forget who you are


that's quite bad leh can you imagine you have a business meeting you walk into the meeting room and then you're like what am I here for


oh, don't you think that if you forget who you are everytime it rains, then everytime rain it's like having a split personality


okay, this is a terrible terrible colour question, would you rather have to dress in all bright orange or all lime green for the rest of your life


I'll choose bright orange, just because my favourite colour is green doesn't mean I think it's a smart colour to wear lime green


that's not the point I think I think that if I wore why you interrupt me, can I continue


say yes if I can continue, no say yes, say yes dad, okay ya I will rather I will rather wear bright orange the whole time


lime green looks damn disgusting, okay would you rather have the same phone forever, or the same haircut forever ya same haircut


if I have the same phone forever ah, you know there's a word for that oscillation


to be fair Nokia not very functional right now, oscillation, it is a cycle, so certain things oscillate, but <mandarin>如果你要找你的手机还有你的:ru guo ni yao zhao ni de shou ji hai you ni de</mandarin> err


there's this concept called oscillation where each product, is only meant to last like


what thing pain, no I didn't, okay carry on


yes but, when they create a new phone right, what if one day it says you can speak to aliens on your phone


but you cannot change your phone you are still using iphone ten they are at iphone hundred already, no you have to keep the same phone


alright would you rather vacation in the mountains, or, at the beach wait let me guess, you would rather stay at the beach


get some of that mountain fresh air, yes, , would you rather get your your paycheck given to you in pennies or never be able to use cash again


oh


let's see why don't you tell me, what is, something you like about singapore


like


I wish, what are what are other things that you like about singapore


anything else


because they are all quite friendly in my opinion


, jungle men jungle men is the nationality of the jungle land


okay I I think, like there are some places where you do feel welcome, like white country, err I've been to new zealand a little bit


to be fair australians like half asian already ya a lot of a lot of asians go there to study, ya so


okay, okay let's go, eventually, I agree


they said is until twenty twenty five leh


five more years, I don't know, I don't know I saw it somewhere in the internet


I mean chances are it's not real lah


but now, next year they will have a vaccine


unless the vaccine is very expensive, why, we probably have to think about, how to entertain ourselves


!ow!, okay, so, that's what I like about singapore, the people are very friendly


I also like singaporean food


then let's go and eat chicken rice, #ang mo kio#


#ang mo kio# has quite good chicken rice, , focus, focus


okay, ya we have to go to Bishan, we also have to go Bishan for your massage


to be fair food is something that binds all of us together


I was just thinking right that through Vitto we can always talk about food everytime we do this voice recording then


idea


is their name <mandarin>忘不了:wang bu liao</mandarin> cafe, I don't remember, oh, I think


another thing another recommendation that, is pizza express, I think chances are they'll probably accept our voice recording


it's okay I think they just need to ensure that, like ten percent to fifty percent of our recording so far right


time to go see an eye doctor, time to go see an eye doctor, you got eye cancer


okay let's move on, you can you or you can tell me more about your err bodily concerns


do you think is gonna get better soon, why will your sun why would the sun injure you, on just that part of your face <mandarin>不是不是很奇怪:bu shi bu shi hen qi guai</mandarin> meh


I don't think is sunburn is what I'm trying to say


okay what other places can we recommend to, the person listening how about pizza express, okay <mandarin>如果你要选:ru guo ni yao xuan</mandarin> pizza express <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> pizza pepperoni pizza really ah


oh, oh


go with my friends where, [orh], won't I think that is a good idea


you must ask my friends when they are free, ya that's what I'm saying


one of them is vegan, they also cannot eat cheese


salad


you're right


next time, I think is beneficial, the next time we do this right if we do this somemore


why you keep interrupting me, why you keep interrupting I raise my hand so you supposed to listen to me speak


okay so you must wait until, so you must wait until I finished talking then you can respond


I think, you can try to ask me, when I when you don't understand my chinese words, that way we can improve my chinese, and we can do the code switching at the same time


then


who's going to look at your unglamorousness, I love you


we can code switch for our PDA, you, baby we can talk about


can talk about, can talk about what you studied in your lesson today, so would you like to continue doing this


that sounds very sad, but I feel like you talk to me for one hour you'll be frustrated also, okay


because I realise you don't really care, ya, ya you just making fun of me so I feel very demoralised and demotivated


I forgive you


welcome, can you sing a song in chinese, well can you sing a song in half chinese half english


I it's not about finding a half english half chinese song, you can you can try turning our national anthem into half chinese half english


you start with malay then you go to english then you combine, ya, we can


but we still can


yes, it's okay


because we need to get cereal, ya but the Sheng Siong for sure got cereal, yes, that's the same meaning is if you buy it tomorrow also


ya uh tomorrow I got my meeting also supposed to be no they brought it up to eleven, three to five is the work meeting


statistics meeting, ya

[orh] <mandarin>我知道因为这边:wo zhi dao yin wei zhe bian</mandarin> like err ziva <mandarin>有一百多:you yi bai duo</mandarin> but for like this ten leh <mandarin>一百多:yi bai duo</mandarin> leh which is not a lot but then like just like say, tony alone there is like forty, ya


err I mean for ziva caus like some of them you have got a lot of words mah like so so add up got at about three hundred words, okay, can lah then got eights


I think good I mean I don't know if seven plus two question mark


but then also like there is also, eight


okay lor, ah <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> six plus two blank


[orh], okay


retain blank blank ah, okay, okay


as in don't need lah I mean like <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> eights that I need to learn


okay, (mmhmm), okay, okay


maybe five lor, cause this one all got S one


and some more in the board there's only four err four S right so that's the like the probability of that's why i was thinking if I learn tony and then I don't have S then what's the point like the probability of of getting bingo is like so less


, (mmhmm)


derail, blank blank so <mandarin>这五个:zhe wu ge</mandarin> lor, okay, then apart from this what else, this is for the theory


what, (uh huh), (uh huh)


[orh], okay, but S only got four


[orh], , okay


okay, oh ya <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> seventh and eighth with power tiles, seventh power tiles, [orh] <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> meh


oh that's true, I mean you won't know it just so happened that you have but okay lah I mean, like if you have say J err tony with K K then you've got the Jonty


okay, sure, so toast


toast plus hook, threes threes plus hooks plus without S false false power tiles five power tiles six power tiles, not so important, seventh all this


K, so you want to help me to , not really rank them like okay <mandarin>这已经做:zhe yi jing zuo</mandarin> Liao err <mandarin>这个也做:zhe ge ye zuo</mandarin> Liao so, you want to like , rank them which one I should study all the way until for the next four months lah


or like can do together for the next, four months next few months, okay


okay let's just do one two three four


sorry, two, okay


four, okay


okay, so four <mandarin>是比其他:shi bi qi ta</mandarin> bingo <mandarin>还重要:hai zhong yao</mandarin> lah


isn't that three plus hook, [orh] okay but I mean four is like after, err five power tiles the general list so it's like more important than all these lah


[orh] all the rest ah


I mean there's a reason why I see three plus hooks the same as four I mean different from four mah


okay, then eighth <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> six power tiles


eight nine, okay, so six is not six power tile not important


oh okay okay, that is pointless lah, [orh] that's true okay okay


then, ya that's true, okay


okay


ya <mandarin>我就放这个:wo jiu fang zhe ge</mandarin> front hook and back hook, then the middle one is err the word so that i can see the front and back and then after that the definition so just in case it's interesting then it helps to memorize like the,


ya,


ya, but far <mandarin>我只记:wo zhi ji</mandarin> tony <mandarin>而已:er yi</mandarin> lah , okay


K lor, then, then all the list, that I made


Zodeng leh you know what is Zodeng like you know like when you see black and white then you see the colour then <mandarin>他会:ta hui</mandarin> like, like I don't know


make it very, I feel ya, team


line, but ya probably I'll try to take note of the, find all the particle I didn't know K particle and article


free trial free trial retrial, ya so like can try to take I will try to take note lah I mean but a lot of I realised don't have S one leh


okay so got what other than E D I E R Y <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> leh, okay I E S T


but isn't that got a hyphen or is that called hyphen ya ya okay, , ya


primary two and primary three <mandarin>两个:liang ge</mandarin> then like they like #dam sian# <mandarin>你懂:ni dong</mandarin> hor like after like one one and a half month right I think I'm almost there lah or one month plus


still doing addition and subtraction err subtraction and then like <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> work problem can't even do leh it's like he like don't I don't know lah she draw the model and then he sort of memorize the model, sort of like then but then she don't understand the question so like the models she draw wrong right then she also don't know one then there's like err date your model is wrong then after that then then then err like add or minus like right she always Tikam one ya it's like you like she finished the entire costco right chapter on addition and subtraction leh then like she still don't understand ya it's like she don't get <mandarin>有一些:you yi xie</mandarin> word lah like <mandarin>有时候:you shi hou</mandarin> when they


I think like for example some words like concert lah or what then they don't understand already, err maybe I don't know but, no I I find that they don't understand what the question is asking so so just now I just take my pen and then I'm like


err base there is like a few kind of question so it's like,


err <mandarin>在给你十只笔:zai gei ni shi zhi bi</mandarin> then <mandarin>他剩下五只笔所以总共他有几只笔:ta sheng xia wu zhi bi suo yi zong gong ta you ji zhi bi</mandarin> then they don't know already ya then I have to like let's take my pen and then okay so right I give you err two pens and then I have seven pens left so how many pens do I have at first then she also cannot then she


then she say minus then <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> like what, ya so <mandarin>我有点教到很吐血你知道吗:wo you dian jiao dao hen tu xie ni zhi dao ma</mandarin> one solo on you, ya lor


is it, maybe I think primary three like from what I see okay I have a chinese primary three kid that and then like them then the primary three kid like compared to the primary two just now that, that one was quite, a bit slightly faster lah ya just that err their progress is still quite slow


then okay lah I was surprised that when okay so like err I only had like I only printed the multiplication <mandarin>刚好那个:gang hao na ge</mandarin> primary three <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> kid right <mandarin>他就在做:ta jiu zai zuo</mandarin> multiplication and then <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> i think <mandarin>差不多做他说很:cha bu duo zuo ta shuo hen</mandarin> Sian ah then <mandarin>我就就我就讲:wo jiu jiu wo jiu jiang</mandarin> okay so let's err we'll have a competition okay <mandarin>你坐上面的题:ni zuo shang mian de ti</mandarin> then <mandarin>他做下面的题:ta zuo xia mian de ti</mandarin> then <mandarin>看谁比较快:kan shui bi jiao kuai</mandarin> then !wah! then they very excited


then I was like so surprise, ya then then end up right <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> just like like note the entire stack of like chapter on err primary two chapter on multiple err because before that right the primary three kid had some problem understanding multiplication is like <mandarin>总共有二十只笔:zong gong you er shi zhi bi</mandarin> you are and then you want to split the pens into


err five plates then how many pens are there in one plate then they cannot answer then after that when <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> finally can answer Liao right, then when <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> question <mandarin>就问:jiu wen</mandarin> the other way round you have ten err twenty pens but you want to split err you want each plate right to have seven [orh] sorry twenty okay four pens how many plates do you need then she don't know how to do already leh then ya then <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> oh shit then <mandarin>刚好我那个:gang hao wo na ge</mandarin> primary two kid was like so slow that she is still trying to finish that booklet of


the addition and subtraction so , so I just use the primary two one <mandarin>刚好:gang hao</mandarin> the behind topic also the same thing then the front one is I ask them to circle like you know group them together and then count so I make her do that lor then end up like I think she do the question behind and she also like


when the question ask like Terbalik <mandarin>而已:er yi</mandarin> hor then <mandarin>他就不可以:ta jiu bu ke yi</mandarin> answer Liao lor then that's why I in the end like end up like ask them both of them do do this the primary two paper together then I give them the homework the entire stack ask them to err okay both of you all will do this together !huh! anyway they play the <mandarin>抢那个题抢到这样开心:qiang na ge ti qiang dao zhe yang kai xin</mandarin> then <mandarin>就给他们一起做:jiu gei ta men yi qi zuo</mandarin> lor


ya true, ya they like to compete but then


ya, oh well, but then also <mandarin>怕他们打架:pa ta men da jia</mandarin> so then <mandarin>他们开始打架我不是:ta men kai shi da jia wo bu shi</mandarin> Hosei Liao, your paper


ya oh well, !aiya! so what you doing, [orh] what variance !walao! isn't that like what probability what the fuck


what is this, it looks like [orh] it's so familiar like statistics how come you still have statistics though, [orh]


[orh] so disgusting okay, you know I got a friend like err my previous like PA staff like he he is also SMU economics one and then like he


so I ask him so who if you, where you come out don't want be economists then he say something like because right if there is in a company if there's more than one economist, then they will start rolling dice

ah more stuff, (mmhmm), err in front first K got afar, okay, then behind got


d, fard, (mmhmm) got E fare, got farl that's L, got farm M got faro


got fars, , , ah artisan


[orh] ah artisan under the strain pattern


ya, like <mandarin>不是我做的:bu shi wo zuo de</mandarin> it's just top seven by stamp, , err is a search file so let's say I click right reason right then you will you will key reason blank


[orh] those are these are just top one hundred, of those pattern I only list the top few, ya


actually you can open up you will have this copy you also, , ya there's a


I will say twenty plus twenty five maybe ya will be good enough, ya, (mmhmm) can can


can I have, your printer have paper, okay <mandarin>来:lai</mandarin> (mmhmm)


ah, okay trees, there's a trees with hooks, (mmhmm) which ya is trees plus hooks


hooks (mmhmm) hooks fours, (mmhmm), and then jumped to seven


(mmhmm)


err six, , err seven, yes


okay [orh] from the okay I will just list down the top twenty lah, but if you already have it here you want me to say out okay, can first one err tisane


, okay <mandarin>下一个你没有写过是:xia yi ge ni mei you xie guo shi</mandarin> arsine


A R S I N E ya <mandarin>下个:xia ge</mandarin> senior, err it's not err it's help to search like you will key in for you err then after Tunis is reason


and then the next one eastern, (mmhmm) after that insert


then got orate, then got easter, ya


after easter is toners, then aiders first aiders, okay then rained


[orh] rain E D, lesion L E S I O N, , tories


okay this one tricky toil E S toiles


K <mandarin>然后:ran hou</mandarin> naylor, (mmhmm),


but I think is similar to trees remember like like that that time you got started with a then you found it very tough but after awhile you found the technique you will speed up very fast


, [orh] but err for bingo right sometime the strategy is don't need to clear hundred percent


err and like if let's say you have err six choices right you know four to five is good enough lah ya <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> lor, (mmhmm), err <mandarin>我很难算应为他这边:wo hen nan suan ying wei ta zhe bian</mandarin> overlap <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> <mandarin>百多:bai duo</mandarin> is not a lot it's long enough but then I just like say tony's alone there is like forty


, okay so if it's like let's say twenty of these you have ten of that is hundred plus right


[orh] then for this it will be around about roughly double lor , can lah can lah, err, eights not so urgent but err ya let's take a look and then good I mean I don't know if seven plus two


err six plus two you mean, plus two, plus one question mark, err <mandarin>不一定不一定:bu yi ding bu yi ding</mandarin> but you have a good point like the seven plus S is


it's a important one, err eights <mandarin>不同的:bu tong de</mandarin> pattern no just one err <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> scroll <mandarin>去下面:qu xia mian</mandarin>


[orh]


err, okay err to be specific is retain blank blank no S, because got S means it's actually retain blank


err, okay then after that is retail blank blank, again no S


then we gain blank blank no S, like <mandarin>一百十几:yi bai shi ji</mandarin> ya


okay sure then <mandarin>我在加等下:wo zai jia deng xia</mandarin> retain <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> Liao regain, err, retain retail regain


yes, true true that's why problem also <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> s <mandarin>就很惨:jiu hen can</mandarin>


okay just nice you have this one err entail, entail blank blank, then err, let's see <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> s


err I can share with you my personal favourite


okay so I will go and learn the trees that have no S, so you know like normally you can set trap for people like you can B A H then if they put S they lose their turn, so are these will belong to this special group is a small group that is err trees without as okay


ya but this is putting a word knowing it have no s then if they put then they lose their turn lor , so there's only like hundred forty


truly like words, err, that don't have as, , but this one


err power tiles, that one not so useful Liao because <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> ah <mandarin>如果你要:ru guo ni yao</mandarin> bingo <mandarin>你就不会有:ni jiu bu hui you</mandarin> power tile, you will throw it away instead, (mmhmm), err okay okay


jonty ya, (mmhmm), but, I really have to say the power tile with bingo it's not worth it <mandarin>只有一个:zhi you yi ge</mandarin> mah,


three, , power tiles


ya, and it's the top five with two blanks,


okay, err


okay so err top priority ah, err it will be a few things at the same time, K so for a short words top priority is four power tiles with and threes and with hooks


okay, err, threes plus hook, it's number one


ah, err bingo first first five


(mmhmm), then four power tile, five, K then these five power tile, , K then moving on


then general four, that means err the whole list when you go through A to Z , okay, err four if it is with as a hook


it's a, that's why it's ranked immediately after this, , correct


err, you can say so ya correct correct, [orh] after that <mandarin>之后:zhi hou</mandarin> seven Liao, then the remaining time should be spent on bingo err okay lah one more I should insert after four three without S


then ya, err as in do you see the three as part of two with hooks, three hooks four four


oh okay , then I think this this two should have top priority now, , then remaining time


will be bingo, bingo [orh] eight, okay so


okay so <mandarin>这些做完了你开始:zhe xie zuo wan le ni kai shi</mandarin> eight,


okay, ya no is not say not important but it's so hard to use ya


ya like you must use up your s use up your blank, that you that you were balancing mah <mandarin>你丢掉六个:ni diu diao liu ge</mandarin> ah , that's why this one ya leave it to the last


I mean all this is a suggestion lah ya <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> correct formula <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lah, (mmhmm)


oh sure sure, , oh


ya cool leh


[orh] okay lah but I mean you you see appearing already what like <mandarin>有效:you xiao</mandarin> lah that's the thing <mandarin>蛮:man</mandarin> okay lah <mandarin>有好几次:you hao ji ci</mandarin> lah it's good it's good


ya, ,


it's very nice, I also realise like !wah! the the way you arrange it is is very neat that's why <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> like <mandarin>看了很爽:kan le hen shuang</mandarin> because got gride mah no last year I print only words leh ya


mix like distraction ah


okay


[orh] article article


ya because the moment they got E D or they got I E R most of the time cannot have S, err I E S T, , then err

RBIG


ah,


, ah brochure lah brochure, B R O C H U R E


brochure, I think freshies are still new like they may not know the telegram so doing both ways better lah


oh okay,


for each of the game lah


so after that if they are like they know they they want to play this game right then they can take it from them the captain, err okay we consider next monday they start moving in like just got to know the hall so they only know telegram instagram


, ya but err the KP home got room number that is helpful lah in a way


like ask for room the hall three room number to check that they it's a legit room lah


by email <mandarin>你有他们的:ni you ta men de</mandarin> email mah, okay


you mean the one on tuesday or friday, on last friday


err okay I think in general it was, it's been pretty, meaningful lah, cause anyway like you wanted to you don't get paid but I think like what really sustains you to keep going is because you find the purpose in doing that


and, and also like err when you when you do the outreach right you really get to, to really see the people on the ground, there are really a lot of homeless people in singapore and, err they have a lot of different stories to share lah because they all have different backgrounds and like a different life story


ya so I think like what struck me the most was these, ya he's called uncle mike, ya so, he has been in and out from, from jail for twenty seven years but I think like in recent years he stopped


oh he has been in and out for err twenty seven years was because of his drug addiction, so <mandarin>他吸毒的: ta xi du de </mandarin> lah, so because of that, he, he cannot, he cannot really quit lah until in recently when


err, people, started to counsel he when he stopped taking drugs lor, so he's clean now, but the thing is like, he doesn't have a job because of, these drugs addiction


or like the those, I think I think that that that that is one and also because, err, he keep losing his IC and I think ya he really keep losing his IC I I I don't know how lah okay you know he's sixty seven years old maybe cause he's aging


but I think it's also because err, he he's made like the addiction the drug addiction the side effects err, would could do that memory loss lah, and also, err he said that


when he sleeps outside right people will, will steal his stuff I mean like there were some instances where people just, steal from his pockets and all lah


[orh], okay wait let me finish talking about this story first, okay okay okay


okay so so basically this this err whole organization it's called homeless hearts of singapore so it was founded by this guy called abraham Yeo, ya so he's a christian ah, and he has a heart for people who are homeless who have


err who has who have no homes like destitutes lor, ya so I think since ya was founded quite recently only like just twenty fourteen, twenty thirteen twenty fourteen ya then, err what they do is that they really befriend the people who are homeless


and, try to help them lah, and, and not just befriending them you want to help them to like, transit them to short term or middle middle term housing, in those shelters, and sometimes like we, we we know of places in churches where the churches open up


for people to sleep right then we will tell them and will transfer them there, ya so so during the briefing, one of the group leaders lah he he told me that err there was some success stories lah so anyway during the briefing he presented a powerpoint slide so they were like


a few success stories of how, they transferred people who were sleeping err outside to, to, to shelter and to a a home lah, ya, so there was success stories like that and also we celebrate birthdays with them lah so it's not just like oh, okay <mandarin>我放你进去那个屋子:wo fang ni jin qu na ge wu zi </mandarin> then bye bye but we really like keep in contact with them


ya so that so like, although I just join for like two months right I can see that, my group leader okay derek lah cause he has been the <mandarin>老教:lao jiao </mandarin> like join for very long already you know, and, I can see that he already he already establish a great friendship with them already because when I when I go there


the homeless people will say like eh where is derek where is derek it's like they know him already, and derek knows, this homeless friends for quite sometime for a few years already lah so everytime during, during their birthdays err, then will celebrate for them lor


ya, so it's really like establish a friendship lah, and of course like there was some err cases where, the homeless friends are just temporary in singapore only like ya like like maybe they are just like migrant workers, then like from china so err after a few years they decided to go back to china lor so


so during their time here they are homeless lah so they make friends with them then after that when they decided to go back to china or whatever, err, they had like a farewell dinner with the with the person lor, with the person lor like that lah


ya, correct correct I think it's the consistency, because, because like


you know, it's it's always like the repeated the, a visitations and repeated err communication then you really, feel that there's a connection with someone lah and I think


if if you want to join this organization err, it's good to, to to be consistent lah you don't have to do it every week lah but maybe, two weeks one time they really remember you one leh, ya ya ya eh their memory is quite good lah okay they know your name


err during the, the last time err like the on tuesday I went to celebrate, this uncle uncle he's call uncle chew he her his birthday, is he remember me then he ask me err name lor, I think it was the fourth time I met him lah ya


they normally they will be in the same place one and and also derek has their phone number phone number so although they are homeless doesn't mean they no phone lah they got phone one then they just use wifi outside you know that kind oh ya so, so they they actually communicate


derek lor via phone, ya so during during the birthday celebration the uncle, a few hours in an once time derek will <mandarin>我我买一只烧鸭给你们请你们吃:wo wo mai yi zhi shao ya gei ni men qing ni men chi </mandarin> like that ya ya ya, ya I think I think a lot of people have a lot of misconception about homeless people it's not like oh they totally have no homes eh


sometimes they they have homes but they don't go back, cause they just have very bad relationships with their, families I I think that's something that people need to know lah it's people don't have homes not because they have no money okay that that is partially a reason but I think it's more because


they don't have good relationships lah, ya so so there's this uncle right, err he's called uncle Teo or something ya he, he actually has a shelter to go back to one leh why you he want to go he did he would prefer to stay outside instead because


err he said his roommate very bad, he cannot get off the roommate that's why he decided, because both of them cause that one is like a a shelter like that, so like a social worker actually match the tour together that kind so it's not really like a HDB home home, but more of like it's not a HDB flat lah but


it's more of like a shelter like a, for the ya for people who have no home to stay it's like a shelter for them to stay lor that kind, ya so so one of the aims of this organization is to get people who was sleeping on the streets to at least go to a shelter at least a place with a roof lah


ya, so, !wah!, okay I think got one more time err we went to #telok blangah# to recce lah, it's just just walk, ya ya ya that one is a bit different from the outreach


ya because the outreach is <mandarin>给你真的是去跟他们讲话: gei ni zhen de shi qu gen ta men jiang hua </mandarin> like make friends, but you cannot be scared of dirty lah or or the dirt because you really sit on the ground that kind, ya but of course you come back and need to wash the pants lor, I really sit on the ground then you talk to them then, err but the recce session is you really find whether got homeless people or not and I think the the last time when I went the first and last time when I went that time like two weeks ago


it was a new area that they haven't covered lah, so it was actually quite an empty place I think we work for like three hours we couldn't find anybody, ya only, okay we split into two teams lah so the other team found found only one then my team we didn't find any


so it was just walking for three hours lah, so if if you feel like there's no meaning to this [orh] you feel that it's a waste of our time cause you just walking, , organization right especially you if you're not getting paid right your heart need to be in the right place if not you will feel that


it's supposedly it'll be a waste of time and secondly it will be a torture for you lah you want get get home but I feel like !wah! it's really good lah cause you really have communications and like, , you really establish relationships with the people lor, ya, is very different from all the other


community service that I, err, that I join, ya I think like, , I think I join <mandarin>一个:yi ge </mandarin> it's called habitat for humanity,


it's like, , you go to the, at, #toa payoh# ya ya, and you, clean the houses for


or for the elderly or the handicapped who has no ability to clean by themselves, ya so the the aim of habitat for humanity is to ensure clean homes for people are now so it's like really cleaning and all lah, ya so it's like really cleaning and all lah, okay it's quite meaningful lah but then


I got feeling like people go there is just to get clocked their hours lor, like can see like !wah! people like tried to go there, okay although like they are okay but I just don't feel that same passion, as to compared to an organization where you go in without any expectations of


that any CIP hours or like any, thing in return lah it's a bit different, ya you you really


ya ya correct correct you see you see the joy in your face then you also learn things about yourself also, can learn thing from them also, cause they're so they're so simple you know and , [orh] they bath in public toilet lor, ya ya so got this uncle he's call uncle jimmie


at first he sleep in the staircase but he, and then he migrated to like, a hawker centre at chinatown, so there got wifi got toilet, got table, then he just, just sleep there lor then we ask him eh how you sleep


ya it's not it's not, err not everyone is like that lah, but, but most but so far lah most of them is, like that, it's like they have hard day, actually they have they have families one but


if they want to they can sleep with their family or or what or but they don't want to lah cause I think they don't want to burden their family because, their families got, there are other family members got their own family to take care of lah so they don't want to like, burden them, and sleep


ya and and also because they, do not have enough, money also lah I mean like monetary reasons are are of course part of the reason lah, because err from what I learn right, their their jobs are like cleaning jobs or


guard jobs, ya so, they got work, ya so so so that's why a lot of people got misconception what most people don't work but they they work they work part time, then then when they're not working they will like sleep outside or to rest outside then when when it's time for them to like work like night shift then they will


go and work lor, ya sia got one got one, okay see they actually they actually very lonely ah


I think two of them, even articulated to me that they are very loney, ya, so got one uncle, he said we are really he he said he know of some of his friends like die in their own one flat, that kind, cause maybe isolation or whatever


then they just die, ya, think like humans need to have, , companions sia interaction


ya I think there are also other reasons lah


why there because it's not just, because of family issue lah, but so far from my perspective like from the the interactions that that took place is mostly because of bad relationships


and also cause, another another major reason is because err, don't have enough money lah, ya, and some of them they cannot hold jobs properly like they cannot keep the job


I don't know whether it's get fired or what lah but I got ask derek lah he will help err, is it why why why he try to find a job is it because of his eye or what cause got one, got one uncle the the one that we celebrated his birthday on tuesday, he he did an eye operation he's got he's about to do an operation


because his eye got problem then the social worker tell him you cannot get a job now because you got a eye problem lah so I ask derek it it because of the eye or what, then derek said, may not be because of that lah he normally he cannot really keep a job, and it has been quite some time, maybe he's not motivated lor


ya I'll I'll I'll always ask derek lah <mandarin>因为他知道那个:yin wei ta zhi dao na ge </mandarin> situation <mandarin>比较清楚: bi jiao qing chu </mandarin> what like , he knows the ground more lah he has been, in this organization since twenty fourteen eh, ya so I have, I have a lot of respect for him because


you don't simply dedicate so much time to people that cannot cannot give you anything, ya he works with MSF, ministry of, , social service or family or something


!wah! I, I think you I clock like more than, almost twenty already but the thing is I cannot clock this in my


my SMU sia I find another one leh, because of COVID lor they say based on the guidelines you cannot do any outdoor stuff it's quite stupid


I think I already clock a bit already but the thing is I need to find an online, ya damn Sian, ya so stupid sia


, I I'm trying to find a internship with UN united nations, no it's not internship err volunteering, with united nations they have those online kind


help developing countries, so you help them to proofread or whatever lah, ya that kind


later lor like night, ya I suggest hor you first year in uni right you, clock the CIP hours get that out of the way


ya Chiong then, I don't know lah I still got this stupid stuff, I feel that it's really redundant, I feel that you shouldn't clock CIP hours just for the sake of clocking it lah


I feel that it's very meaningless, I fell, ya I I I can understand their intention lah they want people to have some like soft skills kind of thing but, if you were to put that criteria on people right to


clock hours, to to to fulfill an eighty hours err, community service right it will make people not have, any motivation to do it but they do it because they need to, do it to graduate, so I feel that, they are not really


people tend to not err have the heart to really go and do it lah, I totally understand that lah because when I just want to clock hours clock hours right I don't really have the heart to want to do it, to to really like serve people


ya, ya lor, ya eh how's your weekend during national day


it's a, is it


is there any shake shack err branch err nearby


there's one in #tanjong pagar# what do you want doesn't want ya I know you don't know I didn't know that and, I don't know eh I didn't know leh, (oo) (oo)


oh sure you so good


ya, ya sia they, ya, but daddy don't like eh, I think I think he said okay only


but I like the portobello one leh I like the vegetarian menu, nice, [orh] the waste of time one ah


!wah!


okay, (mmhmm), Sukiyaki steamboat ah, not a big fan of steamboat but okay but very nice lah


[orh]


so like,


, err, err not not really leh okay leh, I think, cause I only went to, gardens by the bay, really live lah around four


because I book at five what, what it was my first time at the attractions eh I never been there before, so we went to the flower dome and, cloud forest, I think you go one time is okay already, but then it's a six month pass lah, I think I will go again eh


err I want to go to the the flower dome, the cloud forest is like you know the, which one, no the the waterfall one is the cloud forest, I like the flower dome more


ya, but the say, ya like <mandarin>这次我们去的不是很好看:zhe ci wo men qu de bu shi hen hao kan </mandarin> leh, 'cause you went before she say you want to forward, she said she went before but


I don't know lah it's my first time I already thought that it's like <mandarin>不错了:bu cuo liao </mandarin> leh, all imported flowers


err a bit crowded but not super crowded also it's it's it's okay, I won't I won't say it's very crowded lah, it's alright


, ya we caught the fireworks at by the bay it was obscured by some trees, but <mandarin>我们刚刚好吃饱:wo men gang gang hao chi bao </mandarin> right then <mandarin>就:jiu </mandarin> pop <mandarin>了:liao </mandarin> leh it's like, but the fireworks very short leh


like <mandarin>两两三分钟而已:liang liang san fen zhong er yi </mandarin> ah the year cause this year they put in multiple places what, because of COVID they don't want people together in one small place, got tax money lor


ya after that went home


you end already that end already just now we had a, err we had a last, conference call with my department lah, ya it's just four of us, then talk about the, they gave me some feedback on the, the presentation it was okay


err, but he said it was very like, he said it was great lah because, the the reason they hire the intern is because like they don't have time to to do this thing so they ask the intern to do everything kind of, so I I just give them whatever input I found lor then


then I ask them okay most importantly I ask them how was, how was the experience like in the public sector of his, ya I ask them I ask them so got one, two of them err has been there for six seven years then another one err fresh grad like less than two years


so like I have very different, opinions from them lah, quite interesting lah I think like, they they they told me the bad things about, (ppc) the not so good things about the public sector because, and and the and the good things also lah so I think the good thing is that people there are


are pretty nice the toxic people not a lot lah I mean got difficult people to work with lah and people who are competitive but it's not a lot lah at least for MSE, the the ministry I'm working with, and and the good thing is that you can you can opt to transfer around


it's easy for you to transfer around the government sector because once you are hired in a any government agency right, you can make a switch within the government agency so if you want if you are from one agency like maybe for two three years right, you can, you can err appeal to, or you can like


<mandarin>申请:shen qing </mandarin> to go and, err work in, I don't know ministry of finance that kind so, is you can, I think the bad thing about it is that, the hours are very long lah they say that MSE is not a retirement home people have the the wrong mindset that


that MSE work err don't work a lot, but actually, my directors they work damn long, I I heard they work until like twelve AM like on some days lah on some days not everyday lah, but during crunch time they work until twelve AM that kind


and, during weekend sometimes like receive email from from them also during weekends so they say the hours are actually very long, and for the amount of time and effort they put in right actually err he said like lah that, could have, gotten higher pay somewhere else


maybe not in ya, ya so that's why before he told me all of this right he ask me like what what do I like to do what is my interest, ya so I tell I tell I tell them lah, at first I want to be economics teacher because I really inspired by my


JC econs teacher, but now as I go to the I realise !wah! actually, the public sector like quite interesting, ya but now I now I know about like the bad side so I have a more I can make more informed decision next time lah


ya then I also want to like try working in like the inter governmental, organizations like world bank or ASEAN that kind, you know like to really help developing countries lah so I I tell them like, when I when I go into a job right I must find that it's meaningful and it has a purpose lah


if it's just for the sake of money I don't think I can do it lah, so, get err I mean money is important lah of course but, if it's only for money I if it's if it's only hundred percent for money I don't think I can do it, ya so for example if you ask me oh <mandarin>去卖保险:qu mai bao xian </mandarin> oh <mandarin>可以赚很多钱:ke yi zhuan hen duo qian </mandarin> I don't think I can do it


I mean <mandarin>如果你很会卖:ru guo ni hen hui mai </mandarin> you sure you can <mandarin>赚多钱: zhuan duo qian </mandarin> but, I don't like its, it's not my interest to <mandarin>卖保险:mai bao xian </mandarin> or sell financial products to people I don't like it, ya so, so after I tell him all of these then he said like okay lah, at least your heart's in the right place and you need to know that like


for the amount of effort you put in like in the public sector, err you can you can actually earn more money outside, and all lah but but but but then he say that of course the pay is not very bad lah it's still quite a good pay but you can earn a bit more outside that's what he said lor


then one of the fresh grad said , that when he was in uni right, he studied envrionment engineering in NUS lah so he when he was in uni like the NEA all this, come for career fair then go and give a one hour talk on, on on how good the public sector is


so when he was a student like the public sector, public agencies are paint a very nice picture of like how is it like working in the public sector, but when he's really working in public sector after he graduate right, he took the he took very he took quite long to adapt leh he say he took the first six to nine months was very challenging


he have to adapt to a lot of things, cause the way cause the way they do things are very different lah like probably you took you email, the way you build connections with people, ya and, the style of writing for him was very different, ya I was quite intrigued by that lah because !huh! since he starts writing he say ya like


in the public sector it's more concise lor like you need to go straight to the point like, directors or bosses who, to come and see you presentation they don't have the time to read through of slides so you need to come straight to the go straight to the point, but for him as an engineering student like in the past when he write reports of his FYP or whatever right


they he he was able to like, I mean the he was able to write very long reports lah and like a lot of elaboration and all lah, but in the public sector he need to be straight to the point lor so he find it's quite hard to adapt, well that's what he say lah


ya but I think like overall they say that they thought that they will leave the public sector anytime soon lah so I don't think it's like !wah!, really Sibei Jialat that kind, ya


ya, a lot of projects, no leh


err I think every sector is also a lot of work load one leh, really really, it's a lot of projects lor I didn't believe that until I already joined, but anyway the thing I'm working on is just one of the projects there are many project


I'm just working on one project for them lah I'm just helping them with that project because they have, the rest of the the rest of their department lah their they have other things to work on what so there was just not only what they wish they have a lot of things to work on, ya, so they are like multiple other projects to work on so it's just not one one project


oh err he write the appraisal already I haven't read yet, ya should be okay lah because before that he ask me will I will I be graded or not ya so I say yes, ya so, I think I think it's, it's not


it's not in GPA, but it's graded lor, so I think in your transcript it will be written there, err


was, ten weeks ah, honestly, I like the whole world from home arrangement lah but sometimes you get very lonely lor like, a bit Sian lah


, ya, ya I don't know how they do that sia like okay maybe because, everyday they got meeting lah so they don't feel that Sian but for me I don't have meeting everyday what


ya almost every day they have meeting lor, with other agencies like URA JTC or whatever ya, so at least they got meeting every day they don't feel very bored in that sense lah


so do you have you thought about the future


(hmm), I feel that if you take, or like the events kind lah


actually if you took your MBTI test right I think, like the personality test lah, no the anti grant one the the IMF whatever you are same as baba hor the ESFP


entertainer, the like <mandarin>那种很吵的: na zhong hen chao de </mandarin> lor , , but but I feel that like, ya ESFP


for me it's I INFJ then I see like, err the, ideal careers right, wahpiang they are like all the arts one sia, I think got singer eh not singer I know it's in the arts one, or like teacher or like advocacy or some shit


ya, it's like really find people will find meaning in doing something lah you know, I wouldn't mind being an artist sia but I don't think it's it's damn hard lah in singapore


ya, I guess


I think one of it is actor, ya ya ya ya, what


you can act what


the MBTI test, okay then you got and check what's what are the ideal career stuff, oh ya, yesterday I look through the photos my friend send me about greece


ya, nice sia, I want to go eh, ya it but joe say she don't like eh, ya actually I very puzzled leh why she don't like eh she say like


then we were talking about like oh where you want to go next in our lifetime like where where are the places they want to travel to, then then I ask her lah like eh how was your greece trip then she said, quite meh leh okay actually I think she I think she had fun but is she don't like it as much as like america or new york city


then like very quiet look very romantic, like the vibes very nice, then, then she say like !aiya! central really nothing much lah is, she say like cause she go


with with a group as a grad trip she said, don't go, ya it's not a good place because err, they give things in pairs, and you get seated in pairs that kind of thing so


ya, ya a bit weird leh, your friend go with you for, oh


I think he went with cause he went to volunteer in greece that time with the united nations of, for refugee relief, so it's really to help the refugees they strand they stranded in the, the oceans and seas nearby greece lah


so he go there to help to <mandarin>做义工:zuo yi gong </mandarin> one, I think so lah, I think so <mandarin>我没有问为什么你要去:wo mei you wen wei shen me ni yao qu </mandarin> lah, ya I need to slowly you know slowly pass


ya so, but but I see from his photos he he go with three guys eh two guys so it's just three of them, but but then the whole refugee thing, got a bunch of #ang moh# also that he directed with lah os I think it's an international thing cause it's UN mah


so I think like there are some photos like he, like they are all in a very big group of people like with a lot of #ang moh# and all, so I think like <mandarin>三个人:san ge ren </mandarin> is like it's a very nice, nice nice err number lah


I cannot do like what a very big group eh greece is a very <mandarin>浪漫的地方:lang man de di fang </mandarin> leh like I don't know why people went for grad trip eh like <mandarin>我觉得没有:wo jue de mei you </mandarin> feels leh you know I think grad trip you need to go like, taiwan or something, or Bali Bali they can play all the water sports together I think I think that kind


ya, I haven't ask yet lah cause I I just responded only to to his photos, ya, so he share with me err good the good photos then I just like like like


then I like the photos that I really love lah, okay err <mandarin>他是不是二零一八年去: ta shi bu shi er ling yi ba nian qu </mandarin> ya, I don't know I don't know how many we haven't talk about greece yet lah but we talk about we talk about egypt


ya so, err egypt he said he go there for three weeks, quite long leh, err, I see the food like quite similar to israel, it's just


middle eastern food, that kind ah, I think it will be quite similar, but, but actually I I really like the egypt photos also cause like, the egypt photos they have very different vibes lah


like greece is very romantic very relaxing, but for egypt is like, ya like you see all the pyramids as the sphinx the, the


on the walls you know then the tombs, it it looks very ancient ancient, I really like, so it looks like a, documentary, ya I really want to go egypt eh


then I ask him did did he ride any camel they he said , he said err very expensive because it's a tourist trap or ya, then I ask him did he go into the pyramids, then he say he didn't went the pyramids, I never ask lah


but he went to the venue of the tombs, he went to another place eh it's not pyramids it's not the pyramid but it's a valley where they, burries all the, ancient kings of egypt so you can see the tombs


you can go inside and see like tomb lor like got the, the egyptians, ya lah, quite cool lah, but he said that, I tell you I really wanna go lah then he say


there is a very lawless place !huh!, he show me a video of, err the traffic is very bad lah, it's like <mandarin>没有:mei you </mandarin> laws regulations lor


I never ask eh that's a good question

ya, ya you like belle lah, , belle lah I think she like city life more also, ya


but greece is, so, cafe ah, !huh!


!huh!, I think egypt got a lot of thing to see


[orh], okay, I don't mind cause I can sit down and draw


, !wah!, ya


shopping, otherwise I just feel like city life , nothing much to see


I like to shop, because I feel that we are already in a city already so it's not not much of a, !wow! factor, ya lah okay Japan is a good city


ya cause it cleaner


you they very strict that's true I work with I work in a japanese restaurant before

!wah! india is my top ten, I mean there's some place you needn't have nice but ya I don't think I would like to go to the city in india, ya, ya, like new Delhi Mumbai new Delhi all these


that kind is it, ya I don't think it's my type also, but I want to go to like, correct correct they have very nice, , do you know that india right, it was, once occupied the by the


it the mughal empire so basically they also have a very long history back, they have a very long history back lah so so so yo go to some places in india right their architecture are very like those very colonial kind and, very very <mandarin>古董:gu dong </mandarin> one, is it's


ya so there's this place called Rajasthan is it means the land of the kings so last time the kings of the the mughal empire they will stay there one then you can see all the, the remains of the forts, of where the the last time when the royal people stay it's damn nice one lah, ya I I think like you need to know to appreciate the history then you really want to go to that place


but who want to go to, to new Delhi and Mumbai this I wouldn't want to go to city area, but I don't mind going for like one two day lah but I really want to see like the more, I I want to see the real life museum
