interesting place for me to go you know very interested in it

ya, !wah! ferrari sia


think hor I think if I very rich maybe I also get one lor think Lambhorgini lah what McLarren ah !wah! Swee eh, and uh, !wah! !aiya! but travel around the world hor !wah! will be very tough leh even though its my life goal


you need get rich ah then !wah! I also got motion sickness leh very tough you know, for me the plane ah


should be free ah err, what thing should be free ah I also don't know leh !wah! this is a tough question man


oh that's true but !walao! if, if medicine free hor then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> healthcare [orh] <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> I mean uh <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> medical centre <mandarin>也是没:ye shi mei</mandarin> earn money eh


err both both <mandarin>很重要:hen zhong yao</mandarin> you know


it will be like a you know just make a an affordable health care, instead of making it free, ya then for me if I want to make something free ah, think err


maybe you know I see, but I think I will just go with uh university being free


then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> parents <mandarin>要:yao</mandarin> get a bank loan ah <mandarin>这些去:zhe xie qu</mandarin> help me you know go uni study ah, having college or uni to be free you know improves society ah you know everybody must be educated must have like some sort of education that's why I think university must be free ah


and like you know now !wah! society progressing so fast man and, think err we have to make some changes, then also like you know people with education lah can, better understand history of their you know so so so so society ah err and err you know like you know cause global warming all these people you no need be educated to know this kind of stuff


of course you know me ya they might be educated but you know


they like, !wah! ah how to say ah they also you know I don't know


ya ya that's true but also hor this also can help lah you know lessen the wealth gap like you know what there's the rich people and the poor people there's this uh income gap


then like !wah! whatever you as now you can widen the workforce are in all like err, now ya lah most jobs are being replaced, they


but you know technology ah machines ah so like you know having education hor we can you know build up certain skills I think that, err adapt to the future you know


ya meh things like a very good option then !wah! you see now so many students or in university they in that there they had the older school money man this is not cool man


that is very true man


free stuff,


err I would go for good looks I mean mean fit body you can actually a obtain it any time ah, ya I would go for good looks, I mean ya lah good looks you can also change via plastic surgery but


not worth ah I mean you know having natural good looks is better than, uh fake one you know


ah I see I see oh ya then another question for you ah, if hor you were to only eat one dish for the rest of your life hor, what would it be eh


!wah!, but <mandarin>不会:bu hui</mandarin> Sian meh, eat Ramen like isn't it just the same thing noodle noodle noodle


me ah I will get Sushi Sushi you know Sushi so diverse man, can have like a, oh ya Sashimi ah eh no I don't think that counts as #Sushi# hor


you know like tuna, salmon ah, err what you are err what's that called ah, crab maybe crab I don't know but never see that before can have egg ah eel oh ya eel Unagi Unagi very nice


!wah! so many different kind of options I don't think I'll get sick of it, ya ya I mean japan cuisine so popular so I think it's common very common actually


you know asian, okay a #cao kuan# question lah, what err, how ah I think [orh]


but I mean like looking at the situation right now ah, uh I think, the more we you know progress, in terms of a technology ah all these thing ah the worst it will get


but I mean of course unless we come up with you know some kind of technology that can help sustain the environment nah, damn bad man I don't I think hor it's like irreversible Liao lah


the more we progress hor I think this I mean the progression hor we made, is what will cost humans to extinct ah, ya man I mean you know ah see some humans cannot make it man


cannot sia !walao!, !wah!


you believe in space invasion ah, !wah! I think also ya there's a possibility I guess I mean considering theres like so many different kinds of planets


confirmed we are not the only one man, ya then uh let me see ya ya talking about universe hor, you got study that one before like !wah! astronomy or something like that


ya for me hor I mean you know I think for me


you know like the basic star for like you know stars, the what the the solar system Simi err you know all those stuff, !wah! <mandarin>出国:chu guo</mandarin> right


!wah! in the <mandarin>飞机哦我是睡觉的:fei ji o wo shi shui jiao de</mandarin> leh


!wah! I mean so far, I think err it would be my most recent


meal, actually wait no no no let me change let's change err, most memorable ah what its quite tough ah have to look, all the way back, my life


I no lah can't be Sushi lah I think it would be, having a korean barbeque, korean barbecue, !wah! that one !wah! was so good man was like, the one of my


that one was the best moment ever, the meat was like so juicy and tender ah !wah! it was a very expensive restaurant, was also celebrating my grandma's birthday ah on that day, ya dinner that was the most


memorable for me, Ramen why Ramen, oh I see I see


china, with who


!wow!


oh in COVID ah !wah! the first few weeks was err pretty tough cause, never have this kind of situation before mah then you know don't even know what to cook at home, and err


!wah! first few weeks I think you just eat the same thing you know like what Prata noodle


you know cook in oyster sauce that kind of stuff, ya it was pretty basic then only you know once in a while we buy uh something new you know something very different, err like you know have beef ah got


err, some kind of soup you know you know we even tried cooking err what you call that mussel ah ya, those with the shell you know that kind of stuff, ya it was a it's not bad ah but you know kind of sick of it already


then you leh what you eat eh, we're really nice


[orh] usually when I Dabao during COVID [orh] I Dabao #yong tau foo# ah


it's actually very worth ah like very willing and you know its like six bucks, ya that one is not bad maybe you should try it you know, what kind of food ah !wah! after COVID think still in school ah in school ah probably just eat you know err


korean cuisine lah like uh rice with egg, chicken or, pork in err, in a hot pan that kind of stuff, that's what I usually eat lah, then you know there's err western food I usually eat that too and got chicken rice


ya that's what I usually eat after or like you know in my normal life, you know like we try the


, oh I see I see or talking about new experiences or


think was a a just before COVID, like before the breakdown I mean eh what ah breakdown err ya ya ya CB circuit breaker oh, we went to <mandarin>海底捞:hai di lao</mandarin> !wah! from my first time there sia !wah! was so good man


like !wah! the track leh you know got four different kind of broth got <mandarin>麻辣:ma la</mandarin> and you know the what chicken ginseng lah, tomato soup ah and then some herbal soup also I think, it's very nice would definitely go there again

what is it called ah some beef slice ah that's all I know ah, then we also have the some beancurd roll <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> ah, definitely would go there again


think so ya but for me hor I I like the mask


uh, I have a more sensitive nose I uh I don't know like it uh, breathing in the same air as everyone you know, how to say ah more sensitive to that kind of stuff so I think you know the mask really helps me you know


when I go out that kind of stuff,


what the what kind of question is, (mmhmm) but I think uh, okay if you say without any context hor I think I will go with one horse sized otter


why I mean ya lah the horse very big lah I mean like a horse sized otter should be very big lah but, no context man I can just you know bring a gun with me and just shoot it, !wah! so smart ah


oh, !wah! but <mandarin>一百也是很多:yi bai ye shi hen duo</mandarin> leh

ya ya we play a lot man then ya it got me interested in it and now still very interested I guess but !wah! with all my injuries now then ya, I don't think


can play ah can't even do anything man just sit at home do nothing lah


!wah! so long ah


oh, ya but I guess its, ya you so good maybe next time you know you can become professional again


dreams ah what to abandon !wah!


another hard question ah, think ah I will abandon, err, okay I mean it depends ah like you know maybe if I have enough money already I will probably abandon my job


to fulfilled my dream I mean, your life so short of course I would, like you know fulfilled my dream mah, it is more important, it's like in a once in a lifetime kind of stuff you know


if I have to if I don't have enough money I'll probably sacrifice my, more of my time to you know earn more or like take up more jobs or maybe you know work overtime earn more money


ya then you get you know get closer to my dream


oh I see ya I mean ya I will miss my my family too, if if I ever you know live overseas but, but if like you know if I actually go overseas hor I think I will you know bring my family with me


but of course not all of them lah like you know see who want lor, uh I will try and balance it out lah


that is true I mean now I also you know no relationship I also cannot relate [lah]


okay how hows your day today


!huh!, about, okay but you resisted yourself, from watching the, the second last episode


you know ya know yesterday my colleague cause we stay back mah so my co-teacher and I will stay for something then my co-teacher went to buy lunch for me and for herself, then I I was in a meeting then after that came out from the meeting then she was sitting at the table then she was like val look at these then she show me the phone then uh then she say <mandarin>小鬼:xiao gui</mandarin> died


like suspected like death lah ya then I say !huh! at first like isn't this the , show Luo friend or something then she say ya then she says !aiya! I buy my lunch but I see such a sad news then I cannot eat <mandarin>吃不下:chi bu xia</mandarin> you know then I say !aiyo!


then he say the chinese because she look at <mandarin>微博:wei bo</mandarin> mah then she say he died because of err he fell down from the, bathroom or something lah he he is said on the bathtub or something like that


thirty six only so young, , life it's quite unpredictable so you must enjoy


will you


no merely just enjoying your life, curve balls


you know you a bit like emotional though <mandarin>不要哭:bu yao ku</mandarin>


news right , , look healthy


I know lah, oh he got girlfriend, oh is she a celebrity also, [orh] [orh] [orh]


eh like aloysius oh no,


oh that's very sad oh, and then the day before I read that he passed on right I so before I slept lah I was looking at Straits Time then I saw got


this korean actress, also committed suicide okay I don't know who who is she lah but , it will still raised it's like I think it's a very tough time now lah so many celebrities also committed suicide this year


and, and then COVID right and die you know that it's like quite depressing, ya and then and then you know because got a lot of changes at work also you need to adapt you know that it's quite hard also


ya, so not easy lah for my parents because my parents are work at home right then my mum you know right she she don't know how to use all these technology right, ya that's why then I say eh you so old already you should err go and upgrade upgrade <mandarin>一下子自己:yi xia zi zi ji</mandarin> you know then


my mom was like don't want lah no lah don't know how to do one lah you know that kind of mentality so for her to adjust to working at home when using tech stuff is also quite hard, ya but then now she know how to use the TV you know like go to youtube and and on her <mandarin>歌台:ge tai</mandarin> cause now err I mean <mandarin>七月:qi yue</mandarin> over already lah but err last past few days lah she


she will know how to go and like switch on the youtube and then find for her <mandarin>歌台:ge tai</mandarin> there's which, , ya but it's like live one, ya it's <mandarin>现场直播:xian chang zhi bo</mandarin> so then they will they it's like a


they will have those <mandarin>辉哥:hui ge</mandarin> and <mandarin>陈建彬:chen jian bin</mandarin> then they will do the, they will they will host it lah ya at some other female err host but I have no idea who are they but they look very young then they can speak Hokkien very well


ya and and in a, think quite quite good lah cause err now everything online already right so, they also must keep up with time, ya that's what I told my mum and dad, then


ya but my dad !aiya!, you will see hes not home all the time one hes like working, workaholic, ya I think !aiya! <mandarin>你怎么老了:ni zen me lao le</mandarin> still want to work so hard you must enjoy life


must earn money if you can earn money than just earn, ya lor, and then he went to see the ear doctor err at Sengkang general hospital like yesterday I think ya then then uh then I say how was it


then he say oh the doctor say the doctor did like a few test lah, so err he say he will be in a room then they will on like this sound and then see whether he will press he got press the button or not he got press the button means he he heard the sound if he never press a button means he didn't hear lah so that's how they test the hearing ya so they say like hes right side mild left side moderate


so that means err hes right side not so bad can still kind of hear but, have a bit of err mild hearing loss lah then the left side is more moderate more or is worse than a right ear lah so that means he can't really hear err that well with his left ear ya then


then err then my my dad say he asked a lot of questions he he asked the the doctor a lot of question then the the doctor had to have to answer all questions lah then he say, ask question <mandarin>都要还钱:dou yao huan qian</mandarin> then I say of course lah you taking people's time of course <mandarin>要还钱:yao huan qian</mandarin> what right then then my dad complaining say !aiya! that


err that hearing aid so expensive then don't have subsidy Merdeka generation no subsidy or that thing, so I was like !aiya!, if you is a necessity is necessary thing mah is like you want to improve your quality of life then you go get it


ya that's right


then but his his aid got a lot of different type of hearing aids right then got some got bluetooth bluetooth kind of quality one so is like you can err use it as a earphone also which was quite funny right quite interesting lor


ya but I tell you you need take some time to get used to the hearing aid lah like once you wear it you don't expect it to, you feel like comfortable on the first try maybe you need a few days for for you to be accustomed to wearing the hearing aid, ya lah it's better than now lah now is when when you talked to him he will answer


and and another answer we ask him question A he will answer question err he will answer B like that you know then very frustrating to talk to him like that lor, ya he get a hearing aid is a bit better I feel lah


your dad your dad got hearing problem meh I thought you dad is okay leh, he so healthy


but at least you know that you are saying something, ya my my my dad maybe err can't even hear


like he won't even reply you even though when you even though you are talking to him he he won't reply you because he cannot hear that err you are asking him a question or telling him something


, , ya lah you go cycling all that, eh he got go fishing a not ah


don't know why I got the idea that he go fishing


okay lah at least, things from carrot ong I thought he needs it oh really from carousell


!aiyo! tell him don't buy uncle <mandarin>有地方放:you di fang fang</mandarin> meh , ah [orh] is that space that he he have, in office


ya lor never mind lah, ya, ya


k lor, he will hang out with friends also so, not so boring for him, [orh] that one oh ya


[orh] oh ya ya but, that one is like <mandarin>老朋友:lao peng you</mandarin> then like I think, oh


ya I guess so, because <mandarin>他他前面过得太辛苦了:ta ta qian mian guo de tai xin ku le</mandarin>


oh so I really don't know leh you know this reminds me like yesterday when I went out with sam we went to eat Mookata then err I was telling him about ah my my


my dad and mum lah like like always quarrelling ah and then sam said will we be like that next time when we are married you know when we live all that then I say err, no no no I think


this is quite predictable lah couples will quarrel one what, but but then err need just need to see how to like resolve the the conflict lah then then he say oh err he he sees his parents also always quarrel and like <mandarin>回家:hui jia</mandarin> then is like very


like very you don't feel comfortable going back to your own house because like you know that there is conflict in your house right then, he say like !aiya! but <mandarin>人生这么短:ren sheng zhe me duan</mandarin> why must we like because of this conflict or make ourselves feel so unhappy make everyone feel so unhappy so he say


ya, ya lor learn from parents he say


ya ya ya, ya, that's why , ya,


ya lor that's why


then because my colleague right ah malay colleague, think she bought resale flat then I see her insta story every every time after work then she will go to like the the wedding gown shop to like shop for her wedding gown or like go to the lighting


shop to look for lights or go go to like this other hardware shop will look for the sink, ya then !wah! then she will show her renovation update lah her house renovation update, !wah! kind of thing this is really a lot of planning and a lot of money involved then she say fifty K leh to renovate the house I'm just !huh! fifty K half of one hundred K there's a lot


of money to renovate the house,


ya it's more expensive, ya but sam and I were thinking of how our house would be, like very minimal not a lot of things just need necessary things


like how I'm trying to adjust in my room just have the necessary things like your bed and the table ya, , even my bed like that also okay, well this kind can just sleep on the floor


or like things that are functional you know things that you can like the drawer underneath your bed, that kind is quite quite functional at least you can put stuff in it, ya, then I I was suggesting to Jia lah I want to buy plant next time also then Jia say plants are not functional then I say no what you know was like grow chilli plant then can give me chili then I can use the chilli for my food what right


ya lor, no but I see my cactus is still living quite well, the day err I I try growing green beans in my class green beans and red beans then after that cannot grow like I put the green beans in the ziplock bag lah because that's how the


make sure that it will grow so err put some water and put the cotton wool and then it's supposed to grow after like maybe one day it will sprout then, the following day nothing leh nothing happened leh then I was a bit worried then Jia said eh you green bean also cannot grow already you sure you can take care of the plants a not


, but then after that I realize that this trick right you put the green bean then you soak in water overnight and it will spout already, ya, so I I use that, that green beans to to ya lor let my kids grow their plants in school


ya, eh yesterday is it was it yesterday you you you say that you wanted to launch like an separate sister shop, for your company


a lot of doubts there,


to sponsor <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> the, , , so how did the school get back to you already


SSP, the UX design one,


, okay lor take take things slow !aiya! anyways now you also learning new things like your flute


it it takes a lot of courage to even try it, ya it really takes a lot of courage to try it not many people will try what I mean you you can is a very big step


the big challenge, by the way ah I follow one of the models you know I forgot her name, think russia or ukraine model that one she she's she's in taiwan now then she has been there for very long the very cheerful one I forgot which collection


then, then I was like err I think even next year cannot travel my colleague also say


I hope I hope the world recover soon, ya, all all because of their err


ya, even my friend in japan also, ya my japanese friend, also I think quite tough because the population there are main majority of them are elderly right and really very prone to the virus also so


it's quite worrying, ya so, oh I was asking her the other day how was how how is she what she doing, ya, then she say like, err she's currently doing a short course online


stuff like that lor then I said I miss japanese food can you send me some pictures ya then she send me all pictures oh really miss japan, but okay never mind it's okay we can save money this year


ya spend money already spend so much money already

to eat the the noodles, then I saw, miss Ng ah, the our geography teacher, ya and she recognize me leh, even with the mask on and the chinese teacher I forgot mr Tang


ah <mandarin>谭老师:tan lao shi</mandarin> he was, yes with her at the at the coffeeshop ya cause I really miss the noodles, how long that


more than ten years sia, then she recognize me she she looked the same she never age


some secret happiness maybe they really enjoy what they are doing, ya enjoy their teaching, ya I want to go back to school one day leh during the home coming


ya, ya because in your memory that's like bit and pieces on like what happened during secondary school days what happened during primary school days


that's why, but I feel like memories kind of fate but you but we I I will like associate that period of time to be like something very happy the secondary school ya like say that it was I mean like where do you compare, at the secondary school, I mean like when you compare it


in your later life or what, is not that we are that old right


, ya not very routine already


are you sure


I think poly NAFA was a very tough time, that's because of the culture <mandarin>那个人也是:na ge ren ye shi</mandarin> <mandarin>在那里好像是很好:zai na li hao xiang shi hen hao</mandarin>ppl


and the <mandarin>老师:lao shi</mandarin> you mean the teachers there, it's a very different environment different culture something you haven't really explore before is it or experience before


local way of the , err schooling ya like for education


ya, , the way they think


ah, different ya, err


, their there


oh oh, ah ah, ya


, but if you were to make a choice, you were to turn back time will you make the choice again


, you mean


, but you mean you won't do something art related, always your dream to like do something like that right since secondary school


, [orh]


you also need talent please, impression lor


, or you will be very confused like <mandarin>你不懂你要在人生要做什么:ni bu dong ni yao zai ren sheng yao zuo shen me</mandarin> right that kind of thing


, !huh!, ah, ah


oh ya right, okay ,


at at such a young age


, but okay what now you got your answer you say


you know wherever you are doing now you got no regrets and and, you are happy doing what you are doing after you you meet, with choices


I think it's just how you see how you perceive it lor, ya but okay lah I mean, what am I to say not to think not to care about others say right, cause I'm following the norm , but it's is it will it will be hard lah in singapore


[orh] stability okay, oh,


you complain about yourself , okay lor I mean you can also relate to other people in different ways mah right, ya, I don't know why I don't know how come I come came across this video


cause I was looking at some books to read lah during the holiday then, [orh] I stumbled upon you know those zen buddhism all that and like, or , a mindfulness that kind and then on youtube got this this #ang moh# guy he he went to china to learn about


ah #tai chi# ya so so he was saying like there was this, phase in his life where he felt very like, <mandarin>不懂要做什么:bu dong yao zuo shen me</mandarin> ah like what what what is he doing you know like


err what should he be doing he has no <mandarin>目标:mu biao</mandarin> or whatever so he say , he feel very anxious everyday not knowing the certainty of his career lah so he say he decided to


yes and then he go and learn #tai chi# for don't know how many months, ya then he learnt the way of living how to err live err mindfully how to live how to deal with your inner conflicts and like how to live more happy lah and more contented with what you have that kind of thing


ya so I was like trying to read up leh and then , err !wah! my chinese is damn Chim my chinese , it's like err because because there's philosopher he he write in a very


how to say his stories are like moral stories but this moral stories are stories that teach you how to live your life lah, ya so got a lot of interpretation like how you interpret the story, and how you err


incorporate the moral of the story into your life lor, like you know those saying like you need to be like water so if there's a obstacle as though in front of you you you must be like water you, you will flow over it not against it you go with the flow you know that kind of thing ya like okay lah concept that is easy to say but hard to do lah I feel


ya but I think of my <mandarin>舅舅:jiu jiu</mandarin> like you know he very, he very zen lah feel like nothing nothing in the world will will really err make him stumble like any challenges he will face it and and and he will


he will be very, her <mandarin>他知道怎样:ta zhi dao zen yang</mandarin> like what to do lah <mandarin>怎样做:zen yang zuo</mandarin> lah ya, I don't know leh I feel like this point of life like when you have every not say everything lah you have most of the things right then you sudden think of like what are the


ways we can improve our quality of life is it or thinking our you know come everyday stresses and anxiety how can we reduce all this because all these are, ultimately what we are telling ourselves right like how we perceive ourselves is based on how we think people perceive us also


ya so like, I don't know I always feel that way lah I always like think oh how my co-teacher will think about me am I doing a good job because I'm I'm still so new in this sector right, or like err how how would my students view me then become like you you know you think a lot of all this kind of thing you make yourself anxious


ya so a lot of err anxious thoughts all that so that's why I trying to think of ways to you know to to reduce this anxiety and and and stuff lah like reading all these things ya ah


ya,


what, good what,


material goods ya, ya, ya, you don't get everything that you want


(uh huh), ah


very good what, maybe your dad wants to encourage you ya,


maybe he feel guilty <mandarin>他内疚:ta nei jiu</mandarin> then now he he he support you, maybe he <mandarin>看得开:kan de kai</mandarin> already lah he see that !aiya! you <mandarin>撑得住:cheng de zhu</mandarin> for so long must be <mandarin>你喜欢这个课:ni xi huan zhe ge ke</mandarin> right you must have


ya you want to accomplish something, really


, don't do it like eliminate it entirely because you have been doing it for so long


okay lah I think take her words with a pinch of salt because she, also left desert designing job what right because maybe to her she don't feel that she really like the job but maybe to you is different you you enjoy it is just that <mandarin>有很多:you hen duo</mandarin> lah <mandarin>很多东西要做:hen duo dong xi yao zuo</mandarin> then you feel very overwhelmed


ah


to design work


, , ya, I think that's when you really truly know that you found something that you really like


not be like


are not related to art, like the reading all that right, ya yo yoga , baking is a good way to distress somemore bake already still got product to eat


you keep saying you die , , you know whatever have happen


if I survive, bubble tea truck


oh only playmate, can ah that one can , you


<mandarin>那个那些:nei ge nei xie</mandarin> her family members <mandarin>有很多:you hen duo</mandarin> will have <mandarin>很多工作要做:hen duo gong zuo yao zuo</mandarin> no meh


ah, ah ah


I don't want to, drag the, ya drag your body err like my my family members will have to you know every day try to put up a front for others or something you know


I don't know I I rather it I rather , to just leave the world quietly , oh my is like ash funeral, I was I mean I don't mind, I don't mind not having a funeral


because like, okay the purpose of having a funeral right is just to, err, you know like everybody come just pay their last respects to their deceased, I have some closure with my loved ones


no leh I think some people who who are deceased they they okay leh their funeral like really


plan it out like cause write on the will what they want that kind so I think some people view funeral as a very important thing, for them lah, for me I feel like, I I don't need a funeral because


ya lah I just wanna leave the world quietly then, , I just want to be at peace like, ya scatter my ash in nature don't even need to put in the, cemetery or whatever you know


I don't need like my err <mandarin>未来:wei lai</mandarin> like my my future generation to, pay a a visit to me I don't need, because I feel that the, they they just remember me by knowing that I even existed before lah based on your memory right that is is already good enough already


ya that doesn't make sense I don't need your physical space to be placed in you know, like crematorium or what, to place my, err urn inside I I don't know


I mean because I don't have that kind of , belief I guess, that that you know feels


so her funeral was a closure for you like


ya ,


, ya, I guess , ,


, so tomorrow you meeting right, , the place is near to fort canning, then we waiting at twelve thirty at fort canning


okay so, ya, you can meet there, then we can walk to the place, ya, err because initially is supposed to be joshua joe


hector me and Fen then Fen say her house renovating so she cannot come, ya because actually I ask them err can you can join or not then, they say can lah but six person then we need to split the table

ya lor, whole day ya must be comfortable also, so then after that she she don't want to material or what


is it more expensive to make that kind of dress, okay lah at least the dress is not the like a wedding dress she can also still wear it


out, you know for, dinner or what not, but the shoes err they don't make shoes right, oh she bought already like to match with the dress


how come nobody I see the resale flat got so many people like selling house she want ya,

what to do, !hais!, , , I guess <mandarin>只能这样:zhi neng zhe yang</mandarin> leh, what can what can I do


, ya


I don't know I I just like, I think back like what did I do in the past then I just like, I just feel I was <mandarin>我什么都没有做到:wo shen me dou me you zuo dao</mandarin> you know like


well I was like !aiyo!, I ya but , I guess so I don't know leh I just like, is it so that <mandarin>可以沾他们的:ke yi zhan ta men de</mandarin> positivity is it


, I don't know leh I don't know but I is like <mandarin>太难了二零二零年:tai nan le er ling er ling nian</mandarin> is like <mandarin>真的好难:zhen de hao nan</mandarin> ah, but !aiya! I mean okay lah as in I guess I'm still quite, fortunate we are still quite fortunate like


you know like not say like we are very very very poor then like, very hard to get by day by day that kind of thing, so like okay lor, ya, but then like ya


what to do, oh ya, oh ya oh ya


, no no no, sec three sec four, what


, ah ah ah


!wah!, !wah!, well oh !wah!, oh !wah!, !wah! can you imagine is that they worked there for like so long leh


ten years more than ten years ya, ,


, I don't know,


ya, it's so scary, , then why when I think back eh <mandarin>十年前我才是十我十五岁:shi nian qian wo cai shi shi wo shi wu sui</mandarin> leh it feels like it just not very long ago


ya, I guess so but, but I think like my memories kind of fade but you but we but I I will like associate that period of time to be like something very happy


ya like say that it was a happy, err, err, as in but like after after we will move on from that face on life right then <mandarin>你回想回去:ni hui xiang hui qu</mandarin> then is like


you even though like maybe, like like as in as in <mandarin>在当下:zai dang xia</mandarin> like when you are in secondary school <mandarin>的当下:di dang xia</mandarin> right <mandarin>你可能不觉得:ni ke neng bu jue de</mandarin> like <mandarin>怎么样你懂吗:zen me yang ni dong ma</mandarin> just like oh <mandarin>我去学校:wo qu xue xiao</mandarin> or then <mandarin>跟朋友讲话:gen peng you jiang hua</mandarin> like it's a very <mandarin>日常的东西:ri chang de dong xi</mandarin> but then like


but then


you know but <mandarin>就是还是很开心:jiu shi hai shi hen kai xin</mandarin> compared to like when I was in NAFA, ya


I don't know leh but then like, I think the <mandarin>老师:lao shi</mandarin> was still okay but just that, I think I think like cause, part of the reason is because down there like got a lot of like foreign students


ya it's a, err, I think I was very accustomed to the, local like I like local way of, schooling


ya like like in secondary school like everybody go through the same, the same, cycle not tackle the same, process like primary school secondary school then suddenly you go NAFA right but then like you have so many like people from, Indonesia China then is like


the way they live and their, think is like different then like, then it's just like very


then it's like I go NAFA ya <mandarin>我有目标可是我看我周周边的人他们:wo you mu biao ke shi wo kan wo zhou zhou bian de ren ta men</mandarin> is like just like, their aimlessness ya their their their just there then like become road blocks onto me also like as much as I don't want to be like that but it's like


you are already in that, that that that that system then if you are you are a part of the culture already no matter like how different you try to be but then when you are so different you don't exactly fit in, then is like just makes you feel like a fish out of water


then like yours like , I think I !aiya! <mandarin>我这个问题我:wo zhe ge wen ti wo</mandarin> is like


be where I am, I wouldn't have like started my own shop


and then like I maybe I will just be like just, working as like, somewhere I think I would just like I don't know leh but very hard to say, I think it was


ya like, but I think cause like when, when if like I never got art school right but then I'll be like, further away from that, go back go ya then is like, then like maybe I might not


pursue it I don't know leh very hard to say leh or like it can works two ways like it's either I want it so desperately that I just, I will I still pursue it no matter what even if I'm doing something very different or like, like I just like go poly and go finish through poly and that kind of thing


well but I don't know like but I feel like, with being art school they have a lot of


negative connotations, I don't know like <mandarin>他们会觉得你是:ta men hui jue de ni shi</mandarin> like !oi! <mandarin>因为你:yin wei ni</mandarin> O levels <mandarin>考不好所以你才去:kao bu hao suo yi ni cai qu</mandarin> art school but, but is like that's not really the, the case


err ya I guess so but I don't know leh I just have I just feel like society has this kind of, impression like, like art school is like your last, last resort you know but then it's like


<mandarin>我很想翻出来我的:wo hen xiang fan chu lai wo de</mandarin> O level results <mandarin>给他们看:gei ta men kan</mandarin> but actually eh <mandarin>我考得不错可以去:wo kao de bu cuo ke yi qu</mandarin> JC <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> leh what the hell, ya then like !aiya! I don't know lor it's like you also cannot regret already what you already made the choice then you just like stick through it lor


but I mean, but maybe if, I think I will be very aimless if I didn't, you don't know, ya


I just like, and like I think if, I died as in as in if I if I, if I just like suits follow through that that that route then like if I die I think I will have a lot of regrets I have a lot of unhappiness


but ya [loh] but then is like, that's right the way like sometimes you will think that !aiyo! very positive about things like it's okay like you know at least <mandarin>你有去做你想要做的事情:ni you qu zuo ni xiang yao zuo de shi qing</mandarin> then


ya but then then like okay then you will like feel empowered for that moment but then after that like furious lah err <mandarin>是不是不应该那个选择:shi bu shi bu ying gai na ge xuan ze</mandarin> or just like, you know just follow follow the usual


norm, that kind of that kind of route, but then you then what can you do, no it's just like, but then if


I don't know leh don't know as in, whether it's a good choice until the day I die you know like like


ya, , ya I think like in singapore is also got more difficult than like


I don't know leh just like okay lor whether like sometimes I would think like, !aiyo! !aiya! if I, so now maybe I will have more stability, ya I will, like I won't feel like


I'm like the odd one out, in society, you know like I won't feel like, like why am I so different from my, peers, or like I won't think like, like or like at least maybe like people can like if I had a problem people can understand that problem better


you know like like you complain about your boss that kind of thing then like oh ya my boss is a is a bitch also that kind of thing but then is like you know is like err err I'm the boss leh , ya I complain my boss complain about myself


ya, that's right


!wow!


I guess so


, I don't know leh but I think , I don't know I think I think the good thing is I don't have to worry about what other people think about me cause I mean, like now I don't really interact much okay lah I think about what the what the delivery guy think about me


I don't know maybe he think that !wah! this girl steady sia , I don't know leh but, , but it's I think like quality of life is like very subjective some people think a good quality life is having a lot of things ya like <mandarin>很有钱:hen you qian</mandarin> then <mandarin>很成功:hen cheng gong</mandarin> then <mandarin>住住好的吃好的:zhu zhu hao de chi hao de</mandarin> but


but I don't know but I guess it's like, nothing is perfect, like you, ya <mandarin>有得必有失你懂吗:you de bi you shi ni dong ma</mandarin> is like, you gain something you lose something so it's just like


I don't know like, like, , like my dad say my dad my dad was like that I asked him ask my dad like he is he happy with his life so far then he say <mandarin>我真的不错:wo zhen de bu cuo</mandarin> ah


despite the hardship that he went through then I say !huh! <mandarin>就算你你你跟你老婆离婚:jiu suan ni ni ni gen ni lao po li hun</mandarin> then <mandarin>你的你的生意没有做得很好你觉得你的:ni de ni de sheng yi mei you zuo de hen hao ni jue de ni de</mandarin> life okay ah then he say


what you have, like ya then he then he also then he I don't know leh like he he try to encourage me


ya but okay lah lor like that lor what to do, know last time last it's like I think it's very funny you know it's like last time in NAFA right he's like my worst critic is like he is my worst enemy when I was in NAFA you know and he everyday will say <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> lah <mandarin>读什么:du shen me</mandarin> arts


then <mandarin>你每天晚上没有睡觉你自己选的:ni mei tian wan shang mei you shui jiao ni zi ji xuan de</mandarin> then he will say then he say <mandarin>以后你:yi hou ni</mandarin> confirm <mandarin>找不到工我的跟你讲:zhao bu dao gong wo de gen ni jiang</mandarin> that kind of thing, then like


may I I don't know but okay lor, oh ya


ya could be, ya I guess so I don't know leh but I think I feel I still, like, like that day I was talking to #li bing# then she say ya she message me then after that she she was like say maybe you should just take a break from designing and art


like just like, don't do it you know but think like I think about it, but I don't think I can, ya, and ya and and <mandarin>我在做的当下我是很快乐的:wo zai zuo di dang xia wo shi hen kuai le de</mandarin> they are like


ya like,


maybe ya lah but I mean I get where she's coming from like she say like, you are so burn out so like you will lose that like that fire in you so like maybe you should like


let go of it first then go then come back to it another another time at your own pace and own time, but I mean what she say also not wrong lah but then , I don't know as in, I, I don't think I can not do


design leh, I have never ever like thought, the alternative, ya like another alternative like just like, oh if I cannot do this then I can go and do graphic design lah if I cannot take graphic design then I go and do interior design lah


you know that kind of thing like, like there is still a design work there no matter what, but ya but, I guess so I guess it's that ya but then I think is a double edged sword leh like I think lah I love it so much that


that like even in my free time I cannot, ya, like, like so like I think like now I'm trying to find other things that, to art that I actually enjoy you know like


like ya like baking like yoga then like, like focus Liao, ya <mandarin>还可以被你吃喂你吃白白胖胖:hai ke yi bei ni chi wei ni chi bai bai pang pang</mandarin> you know , ya like true lor but


and you know but ya, I guess, okay lor if, if I die like suddenly right then I


then you just like okay if I die what what would my funeral be like you know then I will think who will come to my funeral #bao bao# confirm will come then she will


I think she will !choy! of course you survive lah , ya, I think okay she will <mandarin>可能会帮我守我的灵位:ke neng hui bang wo shou wo de ling wei</mandarin> for like <mandarin>三天三夜:san tian san ye</mandarin> you know but then <mandarin>要买:yao mai</mandarin> bubble tea <mandarin>给她:gei ta</mandarin>


ah like <mandarin>要:yao</mandarin> cater like the playmate , ya oh no err <mandarin>吃茶三千:chi cha san qian</mandarin> also can ya, ya then like feel like oh like think what would people remember you right by you know like but it's kind of thing like you don't know until you die you know like in a way you will never get to hear it


ya like, don't know, then like sure oh that day I was discussing this with #sheng yu# also what and then she tell me say that oh <mandarin>如果我死掉:ru guo wo si diao</mandarin> right <mandarin>我要:wo yao</mandarin> cater <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> food for everybody <mandarin>你懂吗:ni dong ma</mandarin> then it is like then <mandarin>你进去:ni jin qu</mandarin> like she says she wants her funeral to be a happy thing because like


it's like not a sad occasion then she say before you go inside the funeral we took before you go into my funeral you need to answer some questions then you can get a free iced latte,


ya then I see it's okay sis if you if you if you !choy! touch wood you die first I will make sure I over see your funeral I will I will stand there and say this is what #sheng yu# #sheng yu# <mandarin>临死前要要我帮他做的:lin si qian yao yao wo bang ta zuo de</mandarin> so <mandarin>我只是:wo zhi shi</mandarin> err err <mandarin>到照他的意思去做:dao zhao ta de yi si qu zuo</mandarin>


how would I don't you want a as in , I don't want to, drag the


put your body, you don't want to


why, so you don't want, you don't want a funeral


(mmhmm) !wow!, no, no I have


but that was when, [orh]


, respects


but I think, as in I ya lah I, but as in I think those people who say they want with what they want when they die right like, ya that's what they want at that point of time but I think when they die because <mandarin>我不迷信:wo bu mi xin</mandarin> so I think like at that point when they die right nothing really actually matter matter lah but I feel that sometimes a funeral is


a way of, your loved ones, it's like a way of coping as like, for your loved ones to like, have a proper goodbye and like actually have a proper closure because like, I think like when my grandmother passed away right I think she didn't really mattered it didn't really mattered to her like how her funeral was like although she she's quite a buddhist lah so she will have her


the buddhist <mandarin>衣服:yi fu</mandarin> which she want to wear that's what she told my mum before she she passed away which my mum did for her lah but then, I think like during that funeral I think it's for our close is also a closure for me leh like if I think if I didn't have that that funeral I don't think I would have let my grandmother go like I will feel


I will always feel so sad, you know like, but at least like now like when I think about her I will think of the good things because I feel like, she had I have closure so like I can let it go like let her death


it helped me it helped me in in in finding closure, I guess like do this thing like, like <mandarin>我送他走了我放下了:wo song ta zou le wo fang xia le</mandarin> so it's like


like I guess it's a way of coping mah cause it's like like <mandarin>你太你太爱这个人了:ni tai ni tai ai zhe ge ren le</mandarin> so it's like when <mandarin>他走的时候你会很难过:ta zou de shi hou ni hui hen nan guo</mandarin> but then


is a form of comfort to you myself also like, ya, so, like ya even though like I don't, I mean ya she got the urn got her at the temple


I think that is not important also like I still as and when I will think of her but then like as and when lah but, but then I think that is what, it matters most also but sometimes I think have been the physical thing it's like a closure


also, after all !wah! so deep man , ya but , true lor just, you know, !hais!


you know oh my god, [orh]


oh


like err twenty twenty two joshua or maybe I see you at your wedding


ya invite me again , maybe the #ang pow# not big enough but at least <mandarin>空:kong</mandarin> , oh my god please oh wedding gown my sister went to make her #cheong sum#


ya but then she she tried she went for the first fitting and then she didn't really like it, like the first fitting for the dress


then like, it's like already cut and like, she said not very flattering or her, I think cause like the fabric that she that they choose is like a bit thick


then my sister is not the <mandarin>苗头苗条身材:miao tou miao tiao shen cai</mandarin> mah then so like when a very very thick then she looked even thicker in a sense so like then she was like, , <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> like, I didn't went with her then she just like say <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> like <mandarin>没有很好看:mei you hen hao kan</mandarin> [loh] then I say


then how , ya she did, then, it's like ivory color, ya ya tweed tweed tweed use the like you know the thick thick thick thick one then


I mean, ya but then like cause she wants to wear that, that that just only that dress for the whole wedding so like I think she wants it to be


ya then then like then she say <mandarin>看怎么样:kan zen me yang</mandarin> lor she say anyway not rush


she say she she told the the the designer not to, err finish the dress first she says there's ya are some parts that she's not, very


so, not cheap lah


, ya, I guess so, but then, they don't make shoes she bought like her shoes from like Taobao


then like okay lor, ya then, but then like cause now COVID then everything <mandarin>延迟:yan chi</mandarin> then she her wedding date also <mandarin>要延迟:yao yan chi</mandarin> then like <mandarin>不知道几时:bu zhi dao ji shi</mandarin> also, then the house cause like now nobody selling house

, from


from when I was young right, I wanted to be a, chef ah, right, I was quite interested in food stuff like


err, like I'll I'll I just wanted to be in the food industry lah, ya, but until now


I think like I still got a bit of interest lah but


actually <mandarin>我有:wo you</mandarin> lah but, a restaurant course ah if I'm not wrong, but


programming right or <mandarin>我去:wo qu</mandarin> F&B, programming lah but the funny thing is <mandarin>我选的:wo xuan de</mandarin> programming right, but system and network <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> programming system and network <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> it's like


it's like microsoft system linux system or that kind of stuff lah, ya, ya, it's actually, the course is called, uh app development


like true system that word, so, it's a, err what do you, app development lah ya, but other than that


err, it's like, the system and network it's too boring lah for me, then <mandarin>我就我就:wo jiu wo jiu</mandarin> drop out lor, but I feel that it's also because like, sec four right and IT right the


you is this very different workplace lah, from what I feel like


if <mandarin>你你:ni ni</mandarin> never go school right they also like, they also don't care it's like more they they give you more freedom lah in a sense


ya true lah true, but I feel that I also like, it's it's a chance for you to, to know what you actually want to get lah that in ITE is more on


hands on it's like not, it's not like JC like you you just study academics like normal standard math or, in ITE like you must err, you must know what you wanna do lah then if, if you don't like right then I don't think you have the


ya ya correct correct, ya lah then


ya lah true lah but, that time, (ppc)


ya, no lah depends lah actually, but I think for my


but in ITE right you must know what you wanna do lah that's the thing lah, but actually hor


(ppc)


err, ya I think I remember but, too long ago already


, now that I think about it right


I don't know leh actually I I really don't know leh cause, I wouldn't say <mandarin>后悔:hou hui</mandarin> lah, but if I can start again right, ya let's say if I can bring the time back right


sec four right, then


national exam result you mean the N level ah, err, when I get the N level result, ya I know I was quite happy actually


, okay !walao! eh english B four, ah <mandarin>我去:wo qu</mandarin> sec five then <mandarin>拿:na</mandarin> O level


and then <mandarin>第二个是我去:di er ge shi wo qu</mandarin> I just go take private O level for english only, but the I think the switch from, sec four to IT


!wah!, ya lah it's quite quite huge lah


ya it's true what lah but actually


ya true, ya true


ya true,


ya it's pretty true lah


, no lah <mandarin>那个是:na ge shi</mandarin> , wait obviously that one a bit craze lah, ya damn crazy , well you know sia


that time I still remember its my


that that time <mandarin>我也是不懂:wo ye shi bu dong</mandarin> like <mandarin>什么是:shen me shi</mandarin> MLM lah, like listen to what you have to talk about like his business idea, then, like no harm to go listen what then I just go lor


ya technically <mandarin>是免费的:shi mian fei de</mandarin> lah but <mandarin>我去那边我花了四百多快:wo qu na bian wo hua le si bai duo kuai</mandarin> lah, I think so ah, (ppc), yes sia she's the only one that buy

the <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> Dato from malaysia I think, that one I not too sure lah, , , what, I think MLM right


ya but the funny thing is right <mandarin>他们跟我讲:ta men gen wo jiang</mandarin> right, like don't don't go report as a MLM but eh, from what I know is actually a MLM, very confusing lah I also don't know lah but


MLM, ya true lah the MLM is a bad word


but, depends lah if you really want to do right you must, like <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> have trust in the product lah you must feel that the product is actually good, before you start promoting to your friends and family lah, but I think it's


like <mandarin>不适合我:bu shi he wo</mandarin> ah as in, every time right you meet someone new right if you are MLM guy right but you must have the, ulterior motive behind your mind, then that's that's just not what I am mah, I don't want to make my living that way lah


then I meet also craze also what


ya like, ah ah <mandarin>对对对我不喜欢那种东西:dui dui dui wo bu xi huan na zhong dong xi</mandarin> lah, ya it's like not not genuine lah


ya lah then but if you want to do also can but the thing is, it's like how to say ah you you don't you don't just meet people to talk about MLM you must, just strike out a normal conversation then if they use the same the same product right
