you my manager or or managers ya he'd take you correct, ya, !wah! you just reminded me of one of my worst banquet experience also, like even though like I am the waiter right


like I feel very bad for like the customers, like err, ah I wouldn't specifically say which banquet lah okay but like, err it was my first time working and then err, we had to, as a newcomer I I didn't have any skills lah so like it just assign me to clean the cutlery you know and then


eh the little bowls, the saucers lah basically the basic needs for like a meal and then, as I was cleaning those right and then while some of the others were like serving, some of the utensils right were really very very smelly sia like


very dirty and still had food stains on it, it was really very disgusting eh and then, err when I ask the manager what to do right, because it was a very hectic and everyone was like a kind of in a mess and then the manager right just ask me to like you go take a just take any cloth and go and clean it wipe it and then


err just start serving already, and the worst part was, uh they didn't even have enough uh utensils to like, accommodate the diners at that point in time !wah! legit damn bad leh, I, ah and the the kitchen there smells very bad also


basically very bad hygiene I was one of my worst experience that I about to tell you, like


damn hard like even they watch finish already ah you smelt a cup right sounds like the the drink before you know but then like, ya they I think they shouldn't save money or what lah but like they don't know how to wash their cups properly one


ah, oh ya, I remember right there was once, uh I like sign up as like err flyer distributor


!wah!, it was damn tough I tell you we had like a full trolley right, like probably there was like, two to three thousand stacks of err, flyers that we had to give out, !wah! it was damn heavy and we had to like bring it everywhere and


like distributed into like HDB flats itself !wah!, I swear ah, then was like one hell of a day man, because me and only like, one of my friend only, we had to like, err walk barefoot from the place of collection where we collect the flyers until like


like fifteen minutes walk until like the HDB area and we started giving out, eh, and ya like, we, we err spend like a good four five hours right giving out like


less than two stacks of flyers and, it was really really tiring and one stack had about one thousand, pieces, ya, I will never ever like go back there again man like the job is way too tough


and what about you, oh no lah no lah err not barefoot err sorry sorry, I mean err we walked on with our foot like


all the way, we didn't uh we couldn't like take any public transport because like, err, the buses right the bus stops were like, either too far, away or like it's just very waste of money lah ya okay then are you I thought flyer job like like damn easy on like


oh cause [orh] different people are paid differently lah but as for employer right, he err pay us according to the number of pieces we distribute lah


so like err, if I didn't remember wrongly right, every err five hundred pieces he would, would pay like ten dollars if I never remember wrongly lah, ya


how to say ah like this is integrity ah you cannot do this kind of things one you know like as a good kid myself right I don't I don't do this kind of things one I, of course I like gave out like as many as I can lah until like, very late at night lah it was around nine PM and then me and my friends stop


so like we returned to the office to like, uh, we return the remaining fly flyers and we received our pay on the spot lor like cash, so, ah I will never basically all in all right I will never do that again lah


I mean like if err according to you lah if like


uh we act the same way right, then I would say of course by the number of flyers lah because, you see right if you don't put integrity or like, your, how to say ah, but this anyway I'm trying to say


if you don't think that it's important, and you can just take, like ten thousand pieces, like within the for like one week, and then you can just burn all of them throw all of them shred all of them then


the employer also won't know and you still get paid very well


it was err, I


HDB flats


err <mandarin>我们因为我们就是:wo men yin wei wo men jiu shi</mandarin> err <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> err


err, !wah!


I mean <mandarin>我知道你会:wo zhi dao ni hui</mandarin> err

festive seasons like err chinese new year or like when I get my pay from my part time jobs lah then like I go buy lor like one two piece, if not I don't really like shop also cause like I'm quite broke then like, !wah! everytime I see like my friend ah like everytime got new T-shirt if not new shoe !wah! basically like


once in a while he will like keep changing lah like other new shirt or new shoe or I don't know, then he will like complain to me like he got no money !wah! I tell you this, this friend of mine really damn, uh he deserves a beating man what the hell


always complain no money and then you know what !wah! he also like eat a lot of good food everytime !wah! he make me so jealous but then he tell me no money !wah! I tell you this friend of mine ah !wah!, I really cannot take it man, do you have any friends like that or not


uh, correct


but then again like she all her shirts from me lah so it's like, so right, err oh ya I I wanted to buy trunk on Carousell like this


I'm trying to buy a the cheaper shirt lah, because like, you know


no leh I feel like, their shirts quite nice leh like some, like although the material may not be like the best lah but then like it's still quite comfortable and then for the price they are selling at some is really quite cheap enough reasonable though like for the quality


have you like check most them out or not


err


ya <mandarin>我明白你在说什么因为:wo ming bai ni zai shuo shen me yin wei</mandarin> err, Cotton On <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> hor


eh <mandarin>抱歉不是:bao qian bu shi</mandarin> Cotton On, err, err ya lah H&M first lah <mandarin>然后:ran hou</mandarin> err


then, err


(hmm) uh so recently right I've watched uh, I I have watch like movies at home are not in the cinema


so like, I can't exactly I tell you lah like err, when was the last time I watch movie in the cinema because I can't really remember due to like COVID like I don't really leave house nowadays also, so like uh I can tell you one movie that I have recently like watched


and that's like a spider-man homecoming ya I know lah that's like quite long ago but then like, it's very nice and by the way I didn't watch the animated version, like the cartoon one ya, so it's like a


I was like very thrilled lah cause I didn't know what was the content about what I know spider-man mah but then like the plot and all, so like I me and my girlfriend like we were watching on like our laptop and then, we were like snacking and then !wah! I tell you


the spider-man right, is damn amazing eh you know, he like, err how to say ah, he, secretly save people and then like his friends don't even know !wah!, and then the there was one scene right


he was holding like the two pillars from like falling, !wah! and he was like, so strong !whoa! I really admired him, you know that inspired me right to become very strong or not like I want to go to the gym like hit all the gym oh my god


!wah! really leh damn inspiring you know, like, oh ya you know this also reminds me of one of the captain america scenes he held the helicopter you know, !wah! you know you hold the helicopter ride to prevent it from leaving !wah! do you see his big biceps do you see


it was so big eh like bigger than my face you know, like !wow! I wanna become so fit like captain america, do do you have any like, err celebrities that you idolise or not


like for yourself


uh


so like, even though he had cancer he like !wah! he was so brave and like, so courageous he like kept going on and then he like didn't even let the public know you know, like he kept it from, the outside world and then only himself and probably his family lah like knew about it then he had like cancer


!wah! my god can you imagine like, having cancer and making movies for four years straight, like without letting the public you know and then in the meantime be, the late twenty nineteen right, he like had a really huge transformation to his body but in a negative way


but because he like slim down a lot and like he looked very fragile right and then, !wah! the public saw right and then they made fun of him online and then they posted pictures, and then they like, made jokes lah which was really saddening because err they didn't know that he was fighting cancer and they just like


uh did this kind of things and now they're probably think very guilty lah this kind of people, !haiya!, I mean like ya


I mean like some some of the directors they like to purposely do this kind of things one what like they make the characters look really really dumb, like for example right one damn cliche scene like in every horror movie, they have like the main characters right walking into like the area where they know have the ghost but then they like keep asking if if there's anyone there in like to look for their friends


like that's so stupid leh like every director will always make their main character do that, and it's like really like err infuriating when I watch it lor


uh ya now now that you say I understand lah, I just feel like the the plot right is like damn weird, ya it's like, ah how to say ah at first I was like, on the hang of it lah getting the hang of it and then


ah further on right until like they ending, I feel like err, they try to make it complicated but then is like, kind of confusing only until like the last last few minutes of the movie and then, it was like kind of clear that


uh this guy he he's like actually the, the ghost which was like, very very unexpected, ya, actually like, moving on from movies right, but what about TV series what do you like to watch


I mean, err


quite a weird a series lah I actually like bit too much lah but then like


like I my my


err <mandarin>因为为了要看那个戏我就:yin wei wei le yao kan na ge xi wo jiu</mandarin> err


table mate


but err, okay lah


ya I I know what you mean like HBL nowadays !wah! I really like, taking the opportunity to like slack, like I will lie down during lectures and then I might fall asleep and then


when it's time to do work right I will also, just like slack [lor]


yes, so boring


[orh] ya lah, last time cannot even meet hor


oh, oh mine ah


rarely leh I only go out with my family haven't met any friends, except you and the office people, ya lor but I miss going to JB actually


like !wah! need to buy in singapore so expensive


ya because for example but luckily no babies ah, err the washing detergent I also buy from JB, then most of groceries certain things I buy from JB lah


err thirty to fifty percent


yes a lot <mandarin>而且如果是:er qie ru guo shi</mandarin> baby <mandarin>的话:de hua</mandarin> ah really baby baby ah you drink very fast one eh


so is a really save a lot, and uh, the the milk powder ah very funny one okay because effie drinks this particular brand call S twenty six


made in singapore, still made in singapore, but fifty percent off, you convert the currency [orh]


so <mandarin>省很多:sheng hen duo</mandarin> leh then hor, no where will you go and buy milk powder, supermarket <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> mah


somehow in malaysia <mandarin>他们的药材店:ta men de yao cai dian</mandarin> hor


so very interesting right and it's cheaper <mandarin>然后:ran hou</mandarin> hor


ya in boxes and then sometimes they will ask, do you need a seal box, that means the you you buy thing at, in a box is usually sealed right it's not open right then inside you if you open is a sealed foil lah back of uh the powder so they ask you


then <mandarin>我说:wo shuo</mandarin> !huh!, then we give additional ten percent then <mandarin>我说:wo shuo</mandarin> please


go ahead <mandarin>割:ge</mandarin> [bah] , ya so so it will become cheaper lor so I also like !woo! this interesting,


oh JB karaoke, , very very cheap, I know I know because in malaysia hor <mandarin>他们很有:ta men hen you</mandarin> discounted rate <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> leh


for children for senior citizen then even like, different timing, hor so I remember <mandarin>我跟我的:wo gen wo de</mandarin> friend <mandarin>去看:qu kan</mandarin> then


then she say she will pay for us, so I say don't want lah we have one two three four people then you only two then you pay for us, I pay for you all hor is only like I pay for one ticket in singapore

err they displayed all the cups, that they had, sold before


ya so I uh in that cinema lah where they err sell the I don't know what you call them lah ah all these cups and all that


so they have a glass case where they showcase the cups when they promoted before and they were selling, so there were the Hello Kitty then the Line friends ah the Line ah the rabbit the bear and all that ah, ah and then, and then the new


new stuff that day, they are they were promoting at that time lah according to the movie lah, but, I remember it's a different cinema


can't remember what brand, to another cinema oh, because hers ha the Frozen theme one was from GSC


and we actually go to different GSC cinema, because the Frozen cup is sold out,


ah ya so that one [orh] so it's I mean okay lah not not not too bad, and I can't remember which cinema I like better because there's one cinema, err the popcorn set


you can actually choose mineral water, and the drink ah it's not like singapore they fixed like you can only have Coke Sprite, if you want ice lemon tea you got to add money you want anything else you got to add money so theirs ah the standard is


the popcorn plus, orange leh, ya <mandarin>那个那个叫什么:na ge na ge jiao shen me</mandarin> ha <mandarin>有一个:you yi ge</mandarin> brand <mandarin>现在很:xian zai hen</mandarin> popular <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> Minute Maid


, so you see


ya <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> promotion <mandarin>真的很美的:zhen de hen mei de</mandarin> hor, you go during mooncake festival, when coming to mooncake festival, !wah!


uh city square, ah


!wah!,


don't want the <mandarin>月饼:yue bing</mandarin> just the, oh I see, for us is uh most of the time during the that festival ah


err he happened a few times because it's usually falls in september so it coincide a few times with september school holidays, so if if that happens I will be will be back in KL, and then I will always sign us up for one of there's this shopping centre called Bangsar which is near where we stay


they have this thing called moon walk, so it's organised by the shopping mall and usually Starbucks will sponsor


there's a Starbucks outlet there, so the first time when I join, but you have to pay lah


so <mandarin>如果谁的灯笼灭了:ru guo shei de deng long mie le</mandarin> hor !wah! the lighter will come


ah finish candle the the person will suddenly appear nah new candle, ya lor I'm like !wah! what is this , no it's their staff that's how they organise it


so when you first come they will ask you to choose the the lantern then they will have spread lah usually is by, err Starbucks and then of course they will have a variety of the mooncake lah


ah also by Starbucks, ah and then the pomelo then err drink also by Starbucks, ya so we don't drink tea we drink usually they will make the special fruit err fruit drink ah


ya so we'll sit around there wait for time, then when time is uh time comes then we will start walking [orh] walk the complex, ya then it's like [orh] these people will be like walking along, that's ah then


no more fire


ya so maybe ten to fifteen, kids lah, ya, so I thought it is so interesting ya actually they got quite innovative


ya so I was like oh then my, husband tedious lah he say where you find all these ah, Facebook lor ya


so we went twice lah so so I think so far only twice coincide with the september school holidays so I went twice, interesting hor


in the past, past few years ah, err uh they will do a big one so the it will be done in a school, my girls' school lah ah they will be the partner, and then err all the activities will be held inside so the school will organise certain activities


your side not meh, [orh]


oh so different ah, oh


is it


high end, ah


<mandarin>我我觉得也是很难:wo wo jue de ye shi hen nan</mandarin> lah, ya, ya lor I also think it's nice


ya and I find actually too many eateries lah, too many eateries eh star vista there's a red red what ha what bakery <mandarin>卖:mai</mandarin> bakery supply <mandarin>的:de</mandarin>


RedMan, RedMan it's part of #Phoon Huat# one, #Phoon Huat# RedMan, I think RedMan because, supply a lot of so I think they tie like, tie in together lah so sometimes they call RedMan sometimes they call #Phoon Huat#


I don't know what they took over leh, ah, oh ya I know Art Friend was used to be you mean no more already ah


ya secure one ya I thought have to take stairs up or don't know take stairs down or something like that one


oh, ya ya ya ya ya, [orh] I used to go there because of Art Friend cause I find Clementi one too, too cluttered I don't know what I don't know how to see things


#bras basah# too far, so I tried the, the, ya but , ya lah because right in town then if I only just go to Art Friend, one place only it's like travel all the way just to one place


so I I also didn't really quite like, but I find that since COVID hor


oh


ah, ya lor


unless you go to a very remote ones ah where you rarely see anyone, then like the #bukit timah# one ah the one that along you enter by downtown line one, so that one I think quite remote you rarely see anyone, so you can remove your mask lah if you don't see anyone walking


ya, ya randomly patrol so, you can spot them very easily one mah


they will wear a tag, eh who wear a tag and walk in the park, but you N Parks people will wear N parks uniform mah you will know they are N parks mah, so it's actually quite easy to to spot lah, so <mandarin>我有几次我有去我的这边:wo you ji ci wo you qu wo de zhe bian</mandarin> Mandai Tekong park <mandarin>从来没有碰到:cong lai mei you peng dao</mandarin> any ambassador


if they are just walking they should they have to wear, so there were some people they buy , I don't know what you call it ah head scarf or what lah so it's a piece where you can, put around your neck you can pull up you can pull all the way up and become a hair band and all that


yes so there are some people, they jog, but they know that they won't be jogging all the time they have to stop right at certain points so they wear these are so when they meet any people they will pull up, so it's not a mask per se but it it covers lah okay ya I also have that but I don't know what's the proper term for it


ya I also have that but I don't know what's the proper term for it, can,


mine one was free one was, I bought it long long time ago I don't know why, , ah


yes correct, yes so it works the same way only thing it is cloth, ya so ya ya so there are some people they wear it ah like those motorcyclist they do wear, maybe because on the road too too the fumes ah exhaust fume and all that ya so some of them they do wear


ya for me is, ya lor exercise that time lor sometimes I sweat a lot around my neck, so I have that there to like, I don't have to keep, digging into my pocket for handkerchief


it it doesn't really act as sweat absorber but I can use it like a handkerchief to wipe it lah, ah so like my neck won't feel uncomfortable like, wet lah, ya


ya I know lah but ya <mandarin>我也是很很久没有去:wo ye shi hen hen jiu mei you qu</mandarin> parks <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> Liao, at most <mandarin>只是去这边很靠近我家的:zhi shi qu zhe bian hen kao jin wo jia de</mandarin> Mandai Tekong park which is a very small path, and not really a park park is like more like a there's a running track


it's a official two point four running track, and then if not will be the other direction and go to, I didn't walk to Waterfront Waterfront still find it very


far to walk there, so there's a, park before we reached Waterfront, which is next to the I always forget what park is it I think it's called Admiralty park, which is next to the the the polytechnic the Republic Polytechnic


ah ah so ah effie likes that one because it's got a huge playground, uh <mandarin>千秋秋千:qian qiu qiu qian</mandarin> !walao! <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> chinese hor, swings ah


you cannot find any swings one ah, there are playgrounds but there are no swings, nowadays the HDB you can't find


I also don't know leh, everywhere you will see right, ya I also remember my old block when I was young, there are two downstairs, and seesaw


you cannot find right, you cannot find right very weird, somehow the playground design has changed, ya lah that's why so she likes it very much so, want swing the nearest is go to the Admiralty park


have many swings, and they have swings for, disabled also leh, so it's a huge thing, where they can wheel the wheelchair up, and then err err you secure it


and then you move lah it's like a swing lor swing movement so the the wheel chair is the seat the swing seat yes it's just a movement lah, yes it's just the movement ah, the movement and then there are some


err they are meant for babies one mah, special seat you can tell lah the your legs put you must put in a certain, position to secure the, ah ah ah then in Sembawang got to travel a bit there's one part that is really meant for special kids one


Sembawang it's in the HDB, HDB area, actually not really you got to take a bus it's not even near a train station, but the park is special lah I mean there are a lot of designs that's meant for special kids


ya so we went there don't know maybe three years ago already lor, because after that there was a lot of major renovation going on and then they were building a lot of HDB, flats there so we didn't go, they block it up


uh because there's a new playground, who cares it's a playground


ya lor so <mandarin>就这样:jiu zhe yang</mandarin> lor <mandarin>就跑去去那边玩:jiu pao qu qu na bian wan</mandarin> lor if not ah <mandarin>我真的很少我会去:wo zhen de hen shao wo hui qu</mandarin> town leh I think the near, the one time that I went to town [orh] recently ah I went to do my hair, went to the Kimage school


in marina square, I went there twice eh, , one is for my own hair during school days, I mean school hours so effie no need to follow me, then one time is specially to bring effie there for her haircut


six dollar only, Kimage <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> branches, but school <mandarin>只有一间在:zhi you yi jian zai</mandarin> <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> marina square


they run a school, for the those who are learning how to, cut hair, and hair services so they need a training ground mah, ah so we are the guinea pigs lah


very cheap six dollars, six dollars plus hair wash leh, so effie went that day I asked for student I didn't ask for a graduate, you you have two choices


so <mandarin>她的头发就是这样剪短而已没有:ta de tou fa jiu shi zhe yang jian duan er yi mei you</mandarin> pattern <mandarin>的又不用颠头发又不用什么我就选:de you bu yong dian tou fa you bu yong shen me wo jiu xuan</mandarin> student lor, ah book online, then <mandarin>就选:jiu xuan</mandarin> student then after that


it's the supervisor lah, it's not like four walls leh, uh made of glass where you can see through one side ah where is open ah


is like many ropes


so so they put her there, so I can walk mah and see leh,


ya lor, she's okay then I ask her <mandarin>完了:wan le</mandarin> hor then I ask her, okay or not ya very nice mummy can we install the wash hair thing ah at home, you know what wash hair thing she talking about


yes, can lie down there and wash hair very nice eh very comfortable leh then you put the shampoo wash wash wash then you put conditioner then you lie down there


, so funny, so I thought it's quite worth [orh] six dollars plus hair uh including the wash, ya and they really washed thoroughly so after she came back ah her hair ah for one to two weeks ah I no need to put conditioner leh


ya so I say next time I want to go back and ask them what what shampoo and conditioner they use , uh this this year I went twice [orh] for one for myself one to bring her there


, so I definitely got to cut, so cut away they had no choice they already cut until very short already say like say cut lah cut all away she then she say cannot then it'll be too short already


, ya so and when that day I do for myself, I chose a graduate lah, err the last time I actually chose student


which was very good also but this graduate ha, she no need supervision one I think she already started working in, salon already, ya so she doesn't need supervision anything like that


so and she did it and so it's very fast because usually really they take fax max four hours, so, that day I went, two half hours almost three lah she finish already done


inclusive of hair treatment rebonding cutting hair treatment, then I added a scalp treatment, ya so everything in lor but rebonding usually is already take very long time


that's why that's why I in the end always go back there and


ya either that or they don't know how to clip properly because I ever asked the Kimage, err student


rough rough <mandarin>这样的:zhe yang de</mandarin> then <mandarin>他说:ta shuo</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>有时候他们是没有:you shi hou ta men shi mei you</mandarin> clip <mandarin>好:hao</mandarin> cause they need to do the clipping action, , ya lor so so that's what happened lor, so in the end


I will always go back there but I must make sure I book way before because sometimes, then <mandarin>就变成没有:jiu bian cheng mei you</mandarin> slot


so, ya, oh then <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> pricing very clear one you just go onto their website right, they will show all the pricing, like student, graduate


length of hair what's the price, so they want to charge me the long hair one so I tell tell them I want to cut it first before I do


the, rebonding then they charged me the the shorter one, so I show ah say you see no point mah you see all my hair spoil already sure got to cut before they can do the rebonding


ya so then they don't charge me for the long hair lor must explain them lah, beforehand, eh I thought you went for the colour the #Choo Bee#


ah, , good, colouring


, , oh


, oh dear, I see


!aiyo! I wouldn't know leh


malay indian chinese ah, leslie ah leslie yes I know leslie, oh


ah, ya, oh


oh, [orh] you can go ah ah, there's


so there's one lah, how much, how much do you pay for it, oh


so when you pay for that package let's say is short hair right so even when your hair grow long, because ya it's just to minus one minus one minus one only lah, everytime you go lah oh then not bad leh then how much is it did you pay


, ya


ya ya dye plus treatment ah ya, !wah! quite good hor, because my place actually also one train station away, there's one ya


ah <mandarin>我头发会坏掉:wo tou fa hui huai diao</mandarin> so <mandarin>我已经是不可以了:wo yi jing shi bu ke yi le</mandarin> so the most I can do


my hair can accept is rebonding that's it, but <mandarin>我还是会有生白头发:wo hai shi hui you sheng bai tou fa</mandarin> but <mandarin>不是很多:bu shi hen duo</mandarin> so what I do is somebody gave me, magic wand no magic wand


hair dye but it's like mascara, ah, what what brand ha


Hoyu <mandarin>是有:shi you</mandarin> on the shelf you see mah <mandarin>有那种他:you na zhong ta</mandarin> they they do uh sell dyes ah hair dyes, so <mandarin>我就来:wo jiu lai</mandarin> try lor


ya so for me it's it's okay I just want temporarily like because I rarely go out I rarely go anywhere, so like go to office okay lah put a coil hair ah okay lah put a bit


temporarily lah it's just to cover, ah


oh <mandarin>我知道知道:wo zhi dao zhi dao</mandarin> like <mandarin>一二三:yi er san</mandarin> <mandarin>没有了:mei you le</mandarin> , ah, so ya then another person also send me one but I think that one she say she bought from Daiso


, it's not not working but anyway I tried the Hoyu first, so uh oh oh okay the the Daiso one was actually I went to collect, something else then somehow opened the package eh how come there's this thing inside okay uh anyway


ya so the Hoyu one is really good so I'm also wondering where this person buy from, but because I forget who gave it to me so I couldn't ask


(ppc), [orh], , ya eh <mandarin>真的很好用:zhen de hen hao yong</mandarin> leh <mandarin>因为我通常是在这里:yin wei wo tong chang shi zai zhe li</mandarin> hor <mandarin>前面这里:qian mian zhe li</mandarin> actually <mandarin>我知道我后面有可以我后面看不到:wo zhi dao wo hou mian you ke yi wo hou mian kan bu dao</mandarin> mah


so <mandarin>我就没有去管它我女儿就看得到:wo jiu mei you qu guan ta wo nv er jiu kan de dao</mandarin> ah then effie will like, effie got white hair plucking service or not then she will okay you lie down you lie down, then she will patiently go and look


she very funny then after a while she say mummy I very tired already, , then last time she even make me ah, don't know box or something to hold all the white hair she pluck, I don't know but it's like quite


horrible to see how so much white hair so everytime she not looking I just throw away, ya ya ya she's very funny one, yes and then it's very funny she really believe there's tooth fairy,


uh quite a lot ah ten ten dollars, then subsequent teeth like five dollar two dollar then there was one time I don't have change so I give her ten dollar again


then after that she found where I hid all the teeth


it's very small and then very cute lah uh I mean you can also use to keep trinkets ah but they specially design it meant for keeping


teeth lah, ya every small very cute one, so <mandarin>她有看过她一直问:ta you kan guo ta yi zhi wen</mandarin> what is this for, what is this for, ah


go and dig dig dig but then I dig out the pewter then I found out !aiya! the first two teeth where did I keep ah, cannot find so now currently it's holding her third fourth teeth, ya but I cannot remember where !aiyo!


ya you don't look and then it will appear, you look then it won't appear , ya lor so !haiyo!, so that was very funny and she really believe


and then she will go and, show my mother look, uh she try to translate very funny


ya, very, uh then very funny leh then my some of my friends ask how much you give


then then I say the first one I give ten dollars eh !wah!, then she then she tell me I give fifty cent only , then I say, ya lor <mandarin>讲这个:jiang zhe ge</mandarin> fairy <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> Niao <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> <mandarin>才给五毛钱:cai gei wu mao qian</mandarin>


ya then subsequent one I say I don't want give so much I just give two dollar then she very excited like every time the tooth, fall out ah she will look for a tiny bag lah, and then she put it in and then immediately she put under her, her pillow


then I say what are you doing so hurry uh say I want to put my, tooth under the pillow the tooth fairy is coming tonight, okay


ya, no we didn't tell her story about santa claus,


ya, ya lor, funny about presents and all that but she's still excited about her birthday she say when my birthday hor can we do this this this this this this, then I say COVID


cannot have gathering, gathering, now can ah then uh what, ten people or five people ha five people I think, unless it's a weddings uh the the solemnisation then can have ten


ya so it's still five so I mean what's the point, just celebrate at home can already ah, ya so I was deciding so ah, #ah long# is speaking now


no soon three thirty, no so, uh he's speaking at the parliament three thirty so we are all speculating what is he going to talk about, so, oh <mandarin>我们在猜是不是:wo men zai cai shi bu shi</mandarin> open fully Liao


resume, I think maybe there are some changes, maybe they open, a bit more so certain things can will happen for example now they open up the mass exercising already


so I'm sure it's coming already,


a little bit a little bit so I just wonder if maybe they may, err, how you say ah increase the number of people who can gather, because currently five <mandarin>真的很少:zhen de hen shao</mandarin> leh it's really a


a very small number that you can do anything


ya ya ya


!aiya! don't know how many hundred one uh thousand, ya so I think


but I think, the thing that won't change will be wearing mask lor <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> social distancing the social distancing a lot of people are not actually practicing eh


, so so ya that's why <mandarin>我不敢把照片:wo bu gan ba zhao pian</mandarin> post post <mandarin>出去:chu qu</mandarin> just post within our group only


in case anybody got into trouble, ya there's there's this teacher just now hor


and then remove mask <mandarin>不用紧:bu yong jin</mandarin> eh !wah! <mandarin>全部还站在一起:quan bu hai zhan zai yi qi</mandarin> like very close together then the the male teacher then he joke lah he say okay everybody stop breathing now


then I ask photographer need to stop breathing or not , ya then very funny because all the pictures actually I took all wearing mask so I say, so I say nevermind we'll post up and then we ask them to guess do you know which teacher is this


I think wearing masks, should still because sometimes when you get excited ah <mandarin>你讲话:ni jiang hua</mandarin> hor


so I think mask is still important and touching for me is you can touch whatever just make sure you, clean your hands whatever you touch, so for me that's why <mandarin>我每次会带我的:wo mei ci hui dai wo de</mandarin> spray


touch how many times, but if you are at home is more it's controlled because there won't be


or less chances of any strangers coming to your house, even people coming to your house is probably someone you know, so you won't get I mean it's not everyday that someone will come to your house so you are less exposed anyway


so ya home is fine ah like for me now, I also every time wear glasses I rarely wear my lens already, because uh same thing lah I will tend to want to rub my eyes


there's a way to wear, so yes and so the mask the quality of the mask also is very important [orh], so I cannot wear disposable mask, it, immediately it will fog up


so I cannot wear that's why I'm always wearing a cloth, cloth mask, ya, it will fog up no matter how tight hor, it will fog up one I don't know why because I guess is more breathable ah maybe I don't know


whereas the cloth one uh which I'm comfortable the particular brand I told you, is comfortable, enough, so I will always rely on that lor, but I think, the mask thing ah it will probably won't change uh as in they will still make it compulsory for you to wear a mask cannot imagine


breathe in fresh air


ya that's why they have this face shield lor, remember,


ya but there are some people they feel uncomfortable with something covering so no choice they have to wear the face shield, but face shield apparently there's a problem, the most teachers ah you won't see them wearing face shield they will wear the mask because they say, it's covering and then it's like surround sound so sometimes


if they speak too loudly they said !wah!, it affects their, ya so, they say uncomfortable so it's better to still just wear mask and speak a little more loudly


using the mic lor so a lot more people are uh the teachers are using mic, ya because of that, then for me I wear glasses is just to prevent anything, coming into the eye lah, , so then for that's the main reason lah why I stick to wearing mask ah another thing is also


the light ah, because this is this is the, shade that will change colour one ah according to the the light, ah


ya, don't know whether lens got this kind of Transition lens or not


this one I usually use at home only, I mean as in like home then I go around here like if I when at work you won't see me wear


ya but nowadays I also wear to the office because wear mask mah so it doesn't matter lah !aiya! just wear lah ha, ya


the thing will fall


, (mmhmm)


[orh] <mandarin>它会:ta hui</mandarin> fog, [orh], ya ya ya I understand <mandarin>有时候搭巴士也是上巴士下巴士:you shi hou da ba shi ye shi shang ba shi xia ba shi</mandarin> eh <mandarin>看没有东西:kan mei you dong xi</mandarin> Liao, ya <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> but I <mandarin>我我也明白:wo wo ye ming bai</mandarin> ah so <mandarin>有时候:you shi hou</mandarin> hor


ya then so <mandarin>有时很:you shi hen</mandarin> dilemma leh <mandarin>有时候:you shi hou</mandarin> !aiya! <mandarin>戴眼镜出去好还是要戴:dai yan jing chu qu hao hai shi yao dai</mandarin> lens <mandarin>好:hao</mandarin> ha


ah ah ah, ya


ya so <mandarin>我想:wo xiang</mandarin> then no point lah <mandarin>我这个年纪那个老花眼要来:wo zhe ge nian ji na ge lao hua yan yao lai</mandarin> Liao, so no point already, oh so even if you wear lens you have to wear the one with astig one ah


ah, ah


yes because you have to compensate, the <mandarin>老花眼:lao hua yan</mandarin> and then like compensate the astig thing ya, either one ya either or ya


ah, what, !aiyo! then you


ah, , uh


up already because <mandarin>我也是:wo ye shi</mandarin> because what I've been doing is I used to like to read novels, but before, the library closed so we rushed to borrow all to the maximum you know


so we had like forty or almost sixty books at home, combination ah, then combine lah all the people we borrow to the max, then <mandarin>我很快就读完了:wo hen kuai jiu du wan le</mandarin> mah then <mandarin>我就看:wo jiu kan</mandarin> Ebook lor, so <mandarin>一直就在看:yi zhi jiu zai kan</mandarin> Ebook lor then


actual book ya, for me, err reading storybook is okay because it's it's still interesting I would read if you ask me to read like very heavy stuff lecture notes off the screen I cannot I want I want it in paper


ah


ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya me too I like we for us for our job, , it has to be on paper lah then at one glance you can see


on the little screen, she's not addicted per se just that because we just got her new phone


so we downloaded a lot of games and all that so she's, not addicted but she's excited to, try out uh test out, everything that she can find on the phone lah so, but I guess


ah <mandarin>她去找她喜欢看的那些什么:ta qu zhao ta xi huan kan de nei xie shen me</mandarin> little pony lah don't know what lah have you heard of this thing ever, ever ever after high school you have ah


I haven't heard before leh, really ah, [orh]


I don't know leh because my house we don't subscribe to cable mah, and then I don't know where effie go and find out also and then she can tell me


like !wow!, can you memorise all these like in the form of times table, , so ya lor


okay [lah] we'll stop chatting [lah], no need no need we just shut down


hello, , , oh, , [orh]


!aiya! but at least now can come out and meet each other, otherwise , ya lor, !wah! <mandarin>跟你说:gen ni shuo</mandarin> ah since the circuit breaker ended


I think almost every week, I definitely will have dinner out with friends, uh once ya as long as not more than five lah,


!aiya!, ya, , ya that's true you literally, live right next door to JB


, , , so that means your expenditure has increased quite a bit lor during this COVID period


that's a lot, ya correct


oh, how about diaper leh, oh,


(mmhmm), [orh] okay made in singapore <mandarin>我就放心:wo jiu fang xin</mandarin> , (uh huh)


eh, buy <mandarin>粉:fen</mandarin> as in which country ah like, supermarket lor, !wah!


very tricky question, seriously they consider that medicine


!wah!, very impressive leh ,


ya lah very interesting,


, , , ya


correct


!huh!, oh, oh


very interesting, ya haha no lah for me, err whenever I go JB


very, it's very much cheaper, think movie is like one third the price, ya


, , yes correct


, !wah! ya that is that's true, ya


eh, , , eh that time


ah okay effie using or you using , (mmhmm),


, oh, haha actually hor <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> hello kitty <mandarin>真的很好看:zhen de hen hao kan</mandarin> leh


should I buy for myself as well


oh, !wah! so it's some people is practically like a collection for them, ,


[orh], oh, ah yes, yes I I can really remember the bear at this point oh ya got rabbit


oh, , as in different location or totally different


I think I jump from one cinema to another cinema


oh, , ya I can't remember leh MBO or GSC ya I know I was checking out a few cinemas then I think because I was looking for that cup so in the end I settle on the one that had the cup in the colour that you wanted ya


oh,


orange oh that's not bad as in the not non gassy orange, oh, Minute Maid, ah, oh


ya, the the uh the cinemas in


JB the free gifts are nicer than the ones in singapore, hor, oh oh, yes yes


, oh I remembered that time mooncake festival I went to, eh sorry it's not city plaza yes city square


so !wah! I see the boxes, got I I took a long time to choose but because I wanted to buy something for my brother's family so in the end I settle for one that is like got a Hello Kitty metal lunch box that kind


I tell you when I and and it's like they didn't just sell it in that pretty lunch box they still give you a the very matching paper bag, so when I gave it to my brother you can imagine straight away my niece is I book the paper bag and the lunch box


, ah yes yes,


what is this moon walk, oh,


what is fifteen ringgit


oh, ah, I remember


(mmhmm), !wah!


!wah! not bad , it's like <mandarin>不认识识的人:bu ren shi shi de ren</mandarin> ah like you you, oh, oh that's nice


(mmhmm), okay, , oh yes, oh, kay


(uh huh) okay, so,


oh, oh then like that that means they have to employ quite a lot of people to <mandarin>跟你走:gen ni zou</mandarin> lor , oh


okay, okay, , ya that's true ya


ya actually they got quite innovative, err like mall event ideas I find,


, ya very interesting eh,


, (uh huh)


, I think it, that's because yours is more like a heartland mall [bah]


like mine is mine is star vista, I <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> they cater to to a different kind of crowd more maybe yuppie crowd, ya because you look at the kind of


shops they have over there or the kind of restaurants, it's not really appealing to family groups, and then, but actually they couldn't really survive, so couldn't really survive cause I notice that actually some of the shops they already changed


and especially when uh <mandarin>开始的时候:kai shi de shi hou</mandarin> they have quite a few, more like middle range or to high range uh high end uh restaurants, but now those that went out what comes in is a bit like


more more fast food ah, like, maybe for example, err now there's Long John, then uh what's the other one that came in Carl's Junior, so last time actually the only fast food there uh <mandarin>只有:zhi you</mandarin> Texas Chicken


but now there is at least if you count Saizeriya it's at least four, four of these fast food, ,


, ya, uh Pornsak restaurant not bad the food is nice


but simply no crowd lor,


err eh, [orh], oh okay okay I didn't know I ya I know it's #Phoon Huat# I didn't know it was err the RedMan,


, actually before the #Phoon Huat# the they took over the Art Friend correct is that the one, it is at the MRT station correct


ya, I think don't eh I don't know because it's is you know at the entrance is very like in one corner ya so


I think well depending on which train line you are coming from you got to take one stairs down, ya then it's really right at a corner so if if you didn't know about that shop you will never know it's there at all ya


, , , ya #bras basah# out of the way


, oh, I will still get the urge to go out


once in a while and then when I go out since <mandarin>已经出门:yi jing chu men</mandarin> right right so I will try to spend as long as possible out there so I will go to every of my favourite shop


ya but ya lah one thing about COVID nineteen I, I'm the kind that like to go to the park to the garden, but the thought of going to a park or garden just to walk walk around but you still have to wear your mask if you are not jogging


!wah! <mandarin>我真的不喜欢:wo zhen de bu xi huan</mandarin> it's so uncomfortable so, so so it really discouraged me from visiting all these gardens and parks during COVID nineteen


, , but I would think that the ambassadors they are, going around all the different parks


to just randomly patrol right, do they have like a uniform I I know they will wear a tag, N Parks people


, , [orh] okay, that time uh you know I work at Fort Canning there


that time I saw one family it's a saturday morning you know it's a busy morning then I see one family, I don't know if are they foreign, foreigners or are they locals but they were walking around without the mask on


then I was , correct, (uh huh)


uh, (uh huh), oh


okay okay, it can you use it like err those beanie cap, [orh] I also have ya, yes I bought it online on Taobao


, ya but mine I because mine is wooly so, when I go like cold country then I will bring it cause very convenient what you just hang it around your neck then when you need to cover your mouth or nose then you just pull it up ya


so that not so hot, , polluted ,


, so that that doesn't really act as a sweat absorber or it acts as a sweat absorber


[orh], , , ya, ya but really lah I miss all those, walks in the parks but it's just not the same having to wear the mask and


I'm I'm quite Kiasu so I don't dare to risk ah wait ambassador ask me why am I not wearing the mask in the park ,


ya ya, , I know which one you are talking about ya,


[orh] okay okay, ya, eh actually come to think of it


ya last time every park growing up ya, ya eh, now that you mention then I realise yes there is no more there's no more swings anymore


cannot find already so sad, but swings are fun


, , how does uh how uh what's the design like, okay


, so the the wheelchair is the seat the swing seat, oh, okay okay


, to secure the baby ah, oh I didn't know that


is it uh very accessible for people, ,


okay but, but <mandarin>为什么:wei shen me</mandarin> like , <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor and anyway why were you there , [orh] but it's for special needs kids what


marina square oh,


Kimage, last time Kimage last time used to have a few branches right or, ya I, oh oh okay I see


I see, , okay, , if I'm correct the the if you go there to cut hair by any of their students it's


very very cheap right, !huh! it's still six dollars okay I thought they in, oh okay, then


oh okay, , ah, alright


, oh okay


oh, ah okay, ,


ya can supervise her make sure that everything's okay , , kay lah now effie <mandarin>长大了:zhang da le</mandarin> she don't really need to have you near her all the time


oh !wow!


uh <mandarin>跟她讲可以:gen ta jiang ke yi</mandarin> then you buy the Barbie size salon the hair salon for her


, , oh !wow! so good quality, you only went there once ah


or, oh okay not bad lah


, should be after all it's a graduate what so she should be able to


four hours is, not just for cutting hair right hair inclusive of hair treatment


oh,


oh so <mandarin>划算:hua suan</mandarin> this is very worth it


, I think they use cheap chemicals that's why,


, yes, okay I see


, I see, , , with that kind of price I can expect it


ya, ,


I see, yes otherwise you are just wasting your money for nothing, ya


ya, ya for me, you see my hair you know lah ah I haven't done any kind of hair treatment for a long long time, ya that one is a natural hair treatment so it's partly it's quite good because


it's supposed to be herbal treatment to uh help the scalp to be healthier, but at the same time it gives you a natural colouring so, actually last time I used to dye my hair a lot and I think I dye it so often I became


very used to uh uh sorry not very used to I became allergic to the chemical yes so every time I, go and dye my hair no matter how good the brand is or whether it's those shelf one, my head just in one night ah uh it will break out in in like like rashes I will scratch like crazy until pus come out it's very horrible


so ah <mandarin>真的很痛很痒:zhen de hen tong hen yang</mandarin> so in the end I had no choice I had to look for a herbal remedy so at first, I thought of doing henna then do it myself but then I realise [orh] when you go by henna in little india


you really need to know how to buy the fresh henna because like some of them you see the box ah say oh you know it is uh natural henna but when I apply I know straight away ah


you know err I don't know whether you recall last time we used to have a colleague, call !wah! suddenly I also cannot remember her name no <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> chinese <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> ah , ah she very #tai tai# one


leslie leslie ah !wah! okay ya so leslie was the one that recommend me this, #Bee Choo# herbal treatment <mandarin>你有听过:ni you ting guo</mandarin> mah, ah so, she at the time I I I'm not sure why lah but I just


err was referred to the one in Bedok so I went to try it and then I quite like the results because I always like red hair and #Bee Choo# herbal, is uh you know if you do henna is usually brown unless you specially at a herb to make it red but #Bee Choo# herbal is naturally reddish in colour


so for for me lah the more the more uh like white or grey hair you have the more reddish it will come out, so it come out very nice on me so after that I I book one package but the good thing is you don't have to stick to the Bedok branch you can go to any branch that you want


so later I realised eh my place nearby also have so very happy lor ya so now I always go , so again is is see the length of your hair, so that is why every time I'm going to get a new package I will cut my hair


, they still based on that package, correct, , ya, so so my length or hair like this kind of above shoulder length is forty eight


uh actually when I first started the package was cheaper now they have increased over the uh over the years, but still it's very reasonable mah every year err I mean every year every month you just


ya correct, oh there's a


[orh] okay okay like suddenly will be frizzy and all, okay


oh okay, ,


, oh <mandarin>我有:wo you</mandarin> try <mandarin>过:guo</mandarin> leh but I don't I maybe that brand is no good it didn't work for me


yes, is it a japanese brand yes, oh okay


ah, , , oh four five days err even when you wash it will still remain it just naturally fades off after five days oh okay okay just to cover


oh okay okay, I see because for me what I'm using now when my white roots comes out is the, I think it's a relatively new product it's a Maybelline brand


so you just need to spray, ah I think you would have seen <mandarin>对对:dui dui</mandarin> yes, ya so I tried that it's not too bad, ya


also #bo yong#


, oh okay, online perhaps, ,


eh you send a mass Whatsapp message on all to all the contacts on your Whatsapp group then you just ask who gave me this Hoyu hair mascara


ah, !aiya! effie very <mandarin>可爱:ke ai</mandarin> leh effie,


for what she is collecting your white hair


, uh so funny effie, does she collect her teeth when it drops out, so so how much does this tooth fairy give her


not bad, , she must be wondering !wow! that teeth must be extra white that's why got ten dollars for that,


and where was that ,


, why so oh I mean what's so special that is only for keeping teeth leh


oh that's that's nice, , , but <mandarin>她没有打打来看:ta mei you da da lai kan</mandarin> lah, oh


hehe, , but it's definitely somewhere in the house right, kay you just


it will it will you know that err what one of those newton's law of physics or something it will ya here yes correct, correct,


ya, ,


<mandarin>牙齿:ya chi</mandarin> fairy , I also trying to think yes what is fairy uh <mandarin>是仙女:shi xian nv</mandarin> ah,


fifty cents ah this this fairy very Stinko,


then, okay okay I can understand her being excited because tooth fairies come around, err in a year a lot more often if her teeth drops often enough, how about santa claus does she believe in santa claus


[orh] okay ya it's a good thing because, actually be no chimney so uh know she can wait and wait


, , cannot have, oh gathering yes


is, is, I think it's still five people only, yes, yes, ya


that's so true, not yet, why you need to drop him a reminder


, oh I don't think so, you think why you you think


I believe they will, yes


I so I think that the idea is to go towards you you know eventually making everything normal but, you know our government they are very very Kiasu so they will probably just


inch a little bit at at in at I mean every announcement they have I think they will just, open a bit open a bit yes


[orh], , you look at the you look at the cases of uh infected uh affected people


ya from from community <mandarin>很少:hen shao</mandarin> and even if you are talking about among the foreign workers the dormitory workers, I mean the those that staying in a dormitory actually, drop a lot already <mandarin>现在真的:xian zai zhen de</mandarin> compared to !wah! compared to april may !wah! <mandarin>吓死人:xia si ren</mandarin> leh that time


is around fifty or less so is is good ya, hehe


I think is uh, it's actually very difficult, near to someone that they are comfortable way that they like like


I also have to keep reminding myself social distancing but then you know, when talking to friends you will naturally lean towards them ah it's it's a very natural thing so,


, , but actually even with the mask <mandarin>还是要:hai shi yao</mandarin> social distancing mah


, , actually, because they think they have the mask and all that and, it's plus it's their personality they will still hug their friends when they say hi or when they say bye


, , ya


oh, ya actually hor what's your opinion do you think that, the not touching each other part is actually, err more important than wearing masks, or you think that wearing the mask is a safer practice than


keeping


, ya, correct


wearing a mask is, !woo! it's also useful for another thing like for example <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> , uh <mandarin>我喜欢碰碰东西:wo xi huan peng peng dong xi</mandarin> ah so if let's say I touch but then because I have my mask


I have a tendency not to touch my face because there's something on my face already but if I don't wear my mask when I'm at home, oh I tell you I don't know uh how many times I will touch my face fiddle with my hair you know


so I tell you if you at home I am very very uh, careless actually with my hands and like this


, ya that's true, ya


oh okay, but you <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> <mandarin>眼镜:yan jing</mandarin> it won't fog up when you are wearing your mask, really


I find that it fog up the specs more easily , ,


I see, , I cannot imagine, wearing mask permanently I really would like to


go to the outdoor yes breathe in fresh air, I don't know I I feel that , I I believe that for some people they also feel the same way some people just don't find it that easy to breathe with a mask over their face


oh yes, but face shield okay ya it it prevents, uh saliva from landing on your face, but well you can still breathe in small water droplets and things like that


, why


the voice bounces back yes, , [orh]


, ya,


light, [orh] err, okay I I know what ya ah Transition lens ah


, but were you using this Transition lens for, a long time already or only recently then you started ah, [orh] eh but at home you don't need it to transit at all what


I see, ya I think in the office is okay but when you are outdoors


and then you know <mandarin>太阳很晒:tai yang hen shai</mandarin> then you are perspiring then for me <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> uh <mandarin>我的鼻子:wo de bi zi</mandarin> is a bit low bridge, so once I perspire ya the specs will just keep sliding down and then I got to keep pushing it up so I look very <mandarin>土:tu</mandarin> you know


, oh, that's true, , ya but uh I I still actually I know that it is safer to wear specs, but I still don't like uh like okay for example when you move in and out of a mall and if the aircon is very cold in the mall the moment you come out it will fog up


ah so !aiya! <mandarin>我不喜欢这种:wo bu xi huan zhe zhong</mandarin> uh this this sensation I just don't like it you know ya,


, yup, [orh]


ya true, oh yes <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> !aiya! forgot ya


don't you wish they have , , if only someone can create something that, can solve all the disadvantages of contact lenses but also all the disadvantages of specs and I'm not talking about


operation lah ha , oh yes yes so no point because after you operate and then if let's say it sets in then you still have to adjust your eyesight


, [orh] <mandarin>一点点:yi dian dian</mandarin> is okay mine is, quite uh deep so ah, yes correct


so it's uh it's very troublesome I feel to change to, specs and then now you know my <mandarin>老花眼:lao hua yan</mandarin> is starting to set in so it makes things even more complicated it's quite it's quite a


I would say it's quite a difficult affair to choose, err what kind of lens you want when you make glasses ya, correct,


<mandarin>我跟你讲:wo gen ni jiang</mandarin> ah already have <mandarin>老花眼:lao hua yan</mandarin> then already have <mandarin>散光:san guang</mandarin> but you know


when I want to relax you know what ah is my favorite game, it's playing hidden object on my handphone


so that means I got a lot of free time to play my leader of dragon so


, ah, (mmhmm)


!wah! wow, ,


okay okay yes, ya lor I don't know I can't get used to, err reading on like, the handphone the Ebook or the laptop I think it's because of the angle it's just different from reading a story book I mean a physical book


ya so I will I will get tired very quickly,


, , ya, true it's, I I don't know it's not just the, the difficulty in reading somehow maybe because having to adjust to a different err


positioning and a different background, I find that it is distracting me from okay because you are talking about lecture studying so you need to memorise, so I feel that all these little things are distracting me from being able to focus to memorise so


I feel that it's not very effective to uh to, to read on screen lah that's why I always must write out my notes and and I always feel better looking at paper ya I just


ya, ya but , I I think it's more of a habit lah <mandarin>习惯:xi guan</mandarin> because , the younger generation I see they can do anything and everything on the hand on their little screen and they don't seem to have any problem with it at all


effie <mandarin>会:hui</mandarin> err is she addicted to playing uh handphone games,


, uh, okay


oh yes yes Ever After High yes I heard before ya they had


I think they had for a short while if I'm correct I think they did have a cartoon on the, on the what is it Nickelodeon channel or something I think so they had before, so that's why the kids know about Ever After High


, ah, ah


steady #bom pipi# bro what about you ah, Ons Kopitiam [pe]


how's life ah, (hmm)


ah ah

a bit difficult ah or I I still don't understand the system a bit


to be honest right HBL ah, I at home I sleep you know, so like I sleep you know so like cause it's where my comfort comfortable place is mah so it's like at home, then near my bed like that then


very very easily to just go on my bed and just sleep you know you leh you have HBL right for the whole semester


I mean slowly if the situation getting better ah, some classes is online some classes offline not too bad ah but like, if really the whole of my, five days is online ah (hmm) bro I just sit at home not even listening I eat eat eat at home not even listening to class


teacher go through stuff also I like a bit don't understand but I also don't want be you know in front class unmute then suddenly everybody hear my question, so a bit lah I don't think so I can tahan lor

so like, then the other concert was in malaysia, I haven't book ticket for the flight so that's good, but is I already book ticket for the concert itself but got cancelled last minute and then after that cancelled and then immediately don't have the concert anymore so cause of COVID I also cannot watch the concert cause the concert thing is all like close packed right so


what to say ah, that one is what I miss what I missed the most cause of COVID I want go to concert and all


for both the concert, the one in singapore was NCT, then the one in malaysia was super junior ah you know the sorry sorry guy, then ah, the one in singapore was refunded very fast but the one in malaysia tu a bit slow ah


cause they want show cancel or not ah then they cancel then they refund a bit slow but I got both the refund if I have bought the flight ticket right, malaysia airline won't refund one, (hmm)

oh same lah same lah like NCT they all like multinational people but then they all cause they train in train in korea right so all of them in korea lor like you know all of them chinese member hor you all cannot go back ah so they only stay in korea


I think right


I think I'll be homesick lor cause ah I a bit of a mother's girl so a bit of mummy's girl so like my mother not with me ah I think I will like I don't feel comfortable lor then I will also definitely enjoy the experience ah going overseas and then study you know


you leh you ever thought about studying overseas


that's why ah if like you want to study overseas as a melayu I think [kan] australia will be the most safest because


you know australia they very open and stuff so like ya but then when you overseas you need to stay in a place where ah the place has accommodates to what you are lah like being a muslim so kalau kau nak tinggal kat korea kau kena tinggal kat Itaewon situ ah ah cause I heard situ banyak kebanyakan melayu tapi contradict juga situ juga banyak tempat clubbing


so right semenjak kita kat rumah [kan] confirm kau tengok banyak Netflix [kan] confirm so macam cerita apa kau tengok kat Netflix

ah I drink bubble tea but like cause I a bit lactose intolerant so I can drink maybe like the small one if not like my stomach a bit upset so aku punya favourite bubble tea is called HEYTEA dia cuma ada kat orchard dengan Jurong so tak banyak sangat ah aku quite picky on aku punya bubble tea KOI Gong Cha tu semua okay ah tapi aku lebih suka HEYTEA it's more settling to my stomach kirakan so if I buy bubble tea I will buy kat orchard ah kat situ kalau dekat dekat dengan rumah aku Gong Cha ah tapi tu bila kakak aku belanja tapi aku sekarang dah tak suka bubble tea kau pernah try mister coconut


I always buy the standard shake with nata de coco fifty percent I now member mah so like I can the nudge you know so like when you collect the you buy the drink ah you collect the point then you can like off set when the next time you buy then you know last time during circuit breaker cause last time mister coconut and bubble tea all close right then you got see or not the trend they got buy the handmade LiHO then they make it at home you got see


you you you got try or not, ah no ah cause I find it a bit expensive also ah then like the bubble tea the boba ah the pearl ah a lot leh then I scared cannot finish then is is a it's like a golden pearl kind then I don't really like the golden pearl I only like the black pearl or the black sugar pearl eh brown sugar pearl


I got try eh Playmade but I don't really like Playmade eh to be honest cause ah their pearl is a different ah it's not tapioca pearl it's not like the normal pearl it's a different kind of pearl lah then I don't really like the taste ah then the I know everybody like Playmade ah but like I find their pearl a bit a bit a bit questionable not to my taste bud ah probably probably you can try then you see then you tell me lor


oh tu dia punya pearl very chewy very sedap in my opinion tapi dia punya brown sugar nya tu macam macam macam susu ah basically dorang letak susu [jer] so but then I like their pearl ah not bad not bad sama dengan HEYTEA tapi [kan] paling mahal [kan] is uh not too sure eh (hmm) maybe

actually not really ah honestly if I late to school then my my my my class at the end of the school ah only take me about five five minute to reach there so I can like speed walk then I can just reach earlier but it's quite quite space ah got a lot of big spaces lor but better ah than it being cramp I guess so like not too bad ah but still small ah but like spcious also to say the least if I'm not wrong also my school the smallest poly right


no ah Nanyang Nanyang bigger then then then then my school

I think ah I don't actually remember [seh] I think hor !wah! I think I just go makan man I go makan but sad lor makan only five people per table mah so everyone have to sit far far apart like now also you want go makan see everybody also sit so far apart


then when you sometimes like got experience or not go out with your friends then they sit so far quite troublesome right


(hmm) eh then like hor during the circuit breaker during the circuit breaker hor what was your most like you cannot tahan one

ya ya ya a bit cheaper not that much lah but slightly only so not that much difference actually, actually ah I never really properly buy I always only follow my friend maybe I should try one day then you leh I think your school your school got cheers and subway right


my school no cheers eh because our school outside the MRT connected mah so connected already got seven eleven so I think right no point for them to do seven eleven or cheers inside the school


!wah! Jialat I tell you ah !wah! if can ah I want buy roller blade sia it's damn far it's like my school is one end to the other end cause last time ah dengar dengar ah dorang kata my sekolah building burn down so dorang nak reclaim dorang letak at a new place ah so dorang letak new place tu dorang letak kat belakang then !wah! punya lah jauh like katakan eh you thought ah you thought you reach school early but !wah! you still reach class late but luckily my class got fifteen minutes grace so like okay lah can still use that fifteen minutes to jalan jalan your school leh your school so spaced out [seh] it's not besar but I think it's quite spaced out not far meh from one class to the other


really meh I thought like Nanyang smaller no ah, (hmm), but your school ah a bit weird leh cause like if see from in front ah quite small padan ah got behind behind some more quite complicated leh don't know how you can like learn how to find your way around

eh but sekerang tengah COVID ni tak ada orang kick you out ke you still can study at school meh


but then leh now also COVID your the outsiders still can come in meh


(hmm) but okay lah at least not like a lot of student now so so a bit better you all still got a bit more space then some more ah COVID now also you all kena separated must sit far far apart right


(hmm) then talking about social distancing ah what do you think of all these people crowding themselves inside the MRT
