one of the core reason I would say that, people don't do well in their studies or procrastinate too much right, is it definitely has to be social media, yes what what what do you think about this about procrastination


good places to go <mandarin>还是什么:hai shi shen me</mandarin> Lobang to recommend mah find out that singapore like nothing much to do already eh, now that borders close <mandarin>也不可以:ye bu ke yi</mandarin> travel <mandarin>不可以去:bu ke yi qu</mandarin> malaysia <mandarin>不可以去:bu ke yi qu</mandarin> JB for cheap food


I think the trend is not very, apparent now


because I think, most people they like to online shop also, I think personally for me also I realised that oh online shopping is actually quite addictive and then it's quite convenient also, I can buy the things that I want without getting out of my house and then the things will be delivered to my house and it's not say like it will take like months to reach


and just one day two day then instantly !wah!, I get the goods already, and then there's a lot of different offers vouchers, discounts going on, a lot of flash deals and all that sort of, discounts, and because of all this right I think it entice a lot of people to come and shop


online, but of course it could be it can be dangerous also lah because it was you will be spending money very quickly which is just using your phone instead of walking around, and then looking at stuff, but I think like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> prefer online shopping, it's it's it's really convenient lah and


and I think it's quite there's some fun element to it lah, looking at all the different, platforms that we can use, to to online shop, and I think recently I also bought quite a bit, bit of stuff from there like, a shaver, which I think is very cheap because if you were to buy in retail shops it will be like fourty dollars


but because it's oline then there's different vouchers to use, and then because it's on flash deal and then I managed to get it at less than twenty dollars which I think is a good steal lah, without GSS this year I think everything was all like online right, so


I think with these online sales eh it's very good also I bet you girls use even more online shopping than guys right


ya I think one of the games that I play, play quite often is actually the shopee farm


ya I think that's one of the benefits of online shopping lor after all as consumers, when we find the item worth it at the cost right of course <mandarin>我们就会去买的:wo men jiu hui qu mai de</mandarin> lah


in online why would I, get it in, item which I can get it at my own convenience, but of course lah <mandarin>这样子如果每个人这样子想的话:zhe yang zi ru guo mei ge ren zhe yang zi xiang de hua</mandarin> right


so I think still need a good mix, and different omnichannels to go and, to go and, present different type of shopping experiences for, different type of consumers lor


that's why I think <mandarin>如果要买:ru guo yao mai</mandarin> like branded goods ah electronics ah


make like a purchase


I don't think that they will want to buy such branded goods online


another thing I think <mandarin>就是很:jiu shi hen</mandarin> scary right, like, we, we can even, not go out and then get the food be sent like you see grab food food panda that thing !wah!, now you have online shop not only on physical goods


on on on perishable goods also can leh now supermarket supermarket then also can go and buy your stuff, now they can deliver to you fairPrice online everything !wah!, so I will say like if, that time during circuit breaker right the two months we don't go out right is actually very easy one


because a lot of things can be sent to our house lah provided, we got good access, to internet good access to these applications, and, like can be, can be easily, live through live pass or like spend through our circuit breaker days lor


like let's say if they want us to be quarantined or what, again hor I think it won't be that tough lah, and I think all of us got this like, better preparedness already like, and I think we will we will be able to manage it lah, so it's not that bad lah, thanks to <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> online lor imagine if it's twenty years ago or like thirty years ago or what


I don't know how are we going to, spend through it right


I think <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> it's important for us to to to


open, be open about it and use all these applications to help make our life easier lah, but I think <mandarin>有些东西就是:you xie dong xi jiu shi</mandarin> like maybe, like food <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> right


I will say it it still differ from, eating at the physical place itself lah because if you don't eat the physical place itself you will be, much more, it will taste taste more delicious and, hot piping food is better than, cold food sent to your house mah


so if given a choice I think I will still, you talk about delivering of food right I don't mind delivering, other stuffs like your clothes and everything, but I wouldn't say I would want a delivery for food even though it could be very convenient, I I would still prefer to go down to the place and then talk with my friends chit chat with my friend


and then, err err through that we have a meal and all that thing I think it is is good bonding and social time lah, instead of just cooping yourself at home and always order delivery, delivery right


[orh] it's just some sports CCA lah, ya so requires a lot of different training and all that thing, ya got a bit busy now now lah because, been very long since we last trained so need to make up for lost time ah,


ya like that lor we usually we will eat supper together lah, I think is another form of like bonding and social time with, like the newer members as well, I always say food food bonds people lah eating bonds people as well lah so instead of like always <mandarin>打包:da bao</mandarin> or


deliver to your, own place and eat it alone, I would say it is important that we don't lose this human touch ah, right, ya lor ya lor okay


[orh] me ah me recently I have been working from home lor working from home


supposed to go overseas exchange to Rotterdam then like due to <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> the COVID, then it was cancelled !wah! <mandarin>有点:you dian</mandarin> sad lor, but then, life goes on so <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> just work from home then the courses online


work from home I think I think it's quite interesting like something that I haven't tried before, but then like the bad side of it is like you don't you don't really get human interaction <mandarin>所以那个有点:suo yi na ge you dian</mandarin> Sian lor like cannot meet people feel on face to face cannot talk to them but


the good thing is like I guess it's more flexible on time like you know how, usually youngsters like us night owls mah <mandarin>所以比较喜欢晚上做工:suo yi bi jiao xi huan wan shang zuo gong</mandarin> so like usually quite flexible I can, choose to, do work at night at night


quite good lor I find,


ya lor I also agree like you know recently I go to, like <mandarin>我家楼下的:wo jia lou xia de</mandarin> coffee shop right then I hear like this conversation next next table right then like there's these two like one, one old uncle and one like err, err one one man lah like then two of their conversation was talking about how they going to like use how the younger guy lah like teaching the older guy how to


use this handphone device which is just an iphone, but then like <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> err older guy have some difficulty using the phone so like the younger guy is was very nice teaching the guy on how to use how to use the phone so I think like I agree with you lah how singapore is moving towards a smart nation society which is very good and how like a lot of companies now nowadays they have to


adopt to use technology which is pretty good for economy ah because like we will be moving forward, ya eh I realise like you not wearing specs hor why ah


!huh! <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> meh, , but


(hmm) <mandarin>做么:zuo me</mandarin> leh


(hmm), (hmm), (hmm), (hmm) <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> lor I previously <mandarin>我有想过要做:wo you xiang guo yao zuo</mandarin> lasik


but then like a lot of my friends was telling me very scary then you also agree right it's quite scary ah, oh,


then like what's the potential risk or like the downside of the operation


(hmm), but I heard that like those after you go for lasik then you cannot wear contact lens is it


ah true lah then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> degree <mandarin>不会再回来了:bu hui zai hui lai le</mandarin> lah


then then then how do you find


life after lasik like do you need to specially take care of your eyes or like (hmm) lifestyle changes that kind of thing,


<mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor sounds not bad leh like, quite a good choice like you know after your lasik operation then like no need to wear specs anymore you know you wake up !wah! clear vision and everything sounds quite good then like your diet and everything sounds quite good hor


I think maybe I can give it a consideration as to whether like <mandarin>我要不要去:wo yao bu yao qu</mandarin> lasik or not


oh


!wah! sounds quite nice sounds quite nice hor how do you where where is the place how to go there


!huh! thirty cents really or not


err, exercise lor


like <mandarin>因为我的弟弟现在有在考他的:yin wei wo de di di xian zai you zai kao ta de</mandarin> N level so like sometimes when I'm free then like I will teach him !wah! then I tell you hor !wah! nowadays the their N level hor is like so different from our, exam now eh I think like their syllabus now is much more difficult than us


like <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> cover <mandarin>东西比较:dong xi bi jiao</mandarin> Chim lor then <mandarin>有些:you xie</mandarin> question <mandarin>我都不会:wo dou bu hui</mandarin> then like you know I will go and google then go and see, what are the how to solve them, so it's just a bit more different from us, then like during my free time so I will like whenever I'm free then I will help him to like


schedule like do a scheduling ask him ask him what he should be studying first then I do a, a timetable for him tell him like what to study first because N level mah I think it's quite important because you know now like they got the different route how they can go to like the poly foundation program or like they can go to the DPP like there's there's just different route


that they can go to after their N levels and like you know being NA stream it's, more difficult for them if they were to to go O level stream it's just like us lor remember last time we got the PFP program, then like it's easier then I wish that like my brother can also go to our route lor so I think my free time I will try to help him like <mandarin>教他怎样读书那些:jiao ta zen yang du shu nei xie</mandarin> if whenever possible lor


then other than that I will just go exercise then I watch youtube video watch show during my free time lor, oh oh ya ya ya, another thing is like <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> hor <mandarin>我也是有:wo ye shi you</mandarin> like <mandarin>在自己在家里:zai zi ji zai jia li</mandarin> like <mandarin>煮饭了你懂吗:zhu fan le ni dong ma</mandarin> COVID due to COVID situation then !wah! you know previously it was just <mandarin>很麻烦:hen ma fan</mandarin> lor <mandarin>你要出去外面吃东西:ni yao chu qu wai mian chi dong xi</mandarin> all those


then like I would rather just stay at home <mandarin>自己煮自己吃也是比较健康一点:zi ji zhu zi ji chi ye shi bi jiao jian kang yi dian</mandarin> !wah! then I think like my biggest achievement was that I learned how to cook #muah chee#


then I I went online and I go and search recipe how to like do #muah chee# then !wah! it's actually very simple only eh, then like if you want you let me know lor then I can teach you how to do it's just like you know the #muah chee# <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> flour then plus water then you just cook it


(hmm) I think that I'm more of like a pastry person like <mandarin>我很喜欢做:wo hen xi huan zuo</mandarin> like <mandarin>甜品那些:tian pin nei xie</mandarin> then I also learn like how to do like , sponge cake, like those like you know those like very easy the


I going online to go and buy the like cooking pan the whisk and everything but my house already have like those , more or less like other equipment lah like the oven all those, it's already there then I will go and make I mean I learned how to make a cake


the cake according to my family feedback is not very nice lah but I think is like, you can eat it as a breakfast that type of like, don't mind eating type of dish, then other than that I think like main dish <mandarin>我会做:wo hui zuo</mandarin> like <mandarin>牛排:niu pai</mandarin> you know, then then actually previously I don't know <mandarin>我不我不会做牛排的:wo bu wo bu hui zuo niu pai de</mandarin> then I I


I I heard that like it's very easy to make so like I I went to try lor with the guidance of my friend then, I learned how to cook steak also it's actually it's actually very easy only if you like buy pepper steak <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> just, sprinkle like salt and pepper over it then you just like sear it !wah! then it's really quite nice


<mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> you need to you need to open up the window and everything


!wah! eh but <mandarin>你记得那时候我们去:ni ji de na shi hou wo men qu</mandarin> err <mandarin>韩国的时候:han guo de shi hou</mandarin> I remember the steak that we eat is quite nice right


true lah hor !wah! !wah! speaking about korea feels a bit sad that we cannot travel now the borders and everything are closed


it's quite sad that we can't even travel around, like let's not even talk about Korea lah we can't even go over to malaysia


ya <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor <mandarin>我看其实:wo kan qi shi</mandarin> COVID like also affected like my family business a lot like due to COVID it then it's more difficult to like go out to find business then like


I think the COVID situation just makes people people's earning, much lesser and I think like, for my for my for my dad's case like it's just more difficult because it's more of like manual work


, it's a pose a big challenge for him lor like he don't really know how to do and everything so like, my sister my sister and I have to like you know help, help him to go and like do his website and advertisement and everything so that you know his business can go on like despite the COVID situation


then I also see online like got a lot of , youngster like us lah will also like go and help their parents like there's this , I think IT grad studying I think engineering or something like that then like, his parents was doing err in the fish market


like <mandarin>现在那个:xian zai na ge</mandarin> situation so like that guy actually , took took time off lah to help his family business to do Facebook live <mandarin>因为你知道那时候:yin wei ni zhi dao na shi hou</mandarin> during lockdown <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> !wah! then err <mandarin>人家都不可以出去:ren jia dou bu ke yi chu qu</mandarin> all those <mandarin>然后他们只可以靠:ran hou ta men zhi ke yi kao</mandarin> like online sales online business <mandarin>然后:ran hou</mandarin> doing delivery all those


to like send the food over to people's house then only then they can earn income if not like !wah! imagine if they don't they don't do the online business then people cannot go to the physical store cannot go to the physical physical store then cannot even earn money which is going to pose like a very big challenge


in terms of the income that the family have to face and so many people that they have to feed, so I think like in times like these it's just


having a difficult time lor like especially all those you know everytime <mandarin>我们去:wo men qu</mandarin> hawker center then <mandarin>看到那些:kan dao nei xie</mandarin> aunty <mandarin>在那里卖:zai na li mai</mandarin> tissue, then like during lockdown <mandarin>的时候都不可以去那边吃东西:de shi hou dou bu ke yi qu na bian chi dong xi</mandarin> then !wah! then <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> aunty uncle <mandarin>怎样赚钱:zen yang zhuan qian</mandarin> sia <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> usually <mandarin>都是靠:dou shi kao</mandarin> like <mandarin>卖一些东卖一些小小的东西然后维持他们生命:mai yi xie dong mai yi xie xiao xiao de dong xi ran hou wei chi ta men sheng ming</mandarin> then <mandarin>现在他们都不可以出去外面卖东西了:xian zai ta men dou bu ke yi chu qu wai mian mai dong xi le</mandarin> then


like, come to think about it quite sad lor you know they cannot even earn, that little bit of income just for them to survive like three meal, but okay lah fortunately like there's a lot like government initiative like <mandarin>现在那个他们有给那个:xian zai na ge ta men you gei na ge</mandarin> like some subsidies or like a lump sum amount to


help those, people help those like low income people to sustain their lives so you know at least, they still can go out and eat and everything like even recently there's this , I think CDC voucher, like my I don't know I don't know about your area ah but my area that they got give out like this CDC err I think everybody also have lah


cause I think it's part of the finance budget, like they got give us like this, voucher voucher for us to like you know go down to our, our neighbouring areas so that we can claim like our food voucher like, like my house down downstairs like all the food store like the #bak chor mee# Wanton <mandarin>面那些菜饭全部都可以拿来:mian nei xie cai fan quan bu dou ke yi na lai</mandarin> claim <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> voucher <mandarin>或者:huo zhe</mandarin> even like <mandarin>蛋糕店:dan gao dian</mandarin> NTUC Giant <mandarin>都可以:dou ke yi</mandarin> use <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> voucher which I find it quite good lah I mean at least like you know there's some sort of like subsidies and help available to those that


who need it, then like !wah! you got see the news also how they, got talk about how those people those higher income people lah they will donate donate off their money to give it to those with higher priority that they need the money more, which I find like a very good, nice gesture of them ah like <mandarin>他们懂:ta men dong</mandarin> that there's


people that, need it more than them then they are willing to like donate it out to the, to the people that need it more than them, very kind gesture of them


government initiative


but then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> aunty I think like <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> like <mandarin>八十多岁了:ba shi duo sui le</mandarin> then like <mandarin>她已经很老了:ta yi jing hen lao le</mandarin> but then,


err uh <mandarin>这个这个这个人:zhe ge zhe ge zhe ge ren</mandarin> lah <mandarin>她每次会去那边跟她买蛋糕那些:ta mei ci hui qu na bian gen ta mai dan gao nei xie</mandarin> then <mandarin>她就因为那时候她就有跟她讲话:ta jiu yin wei na shi hou ta jiu you gen ta jiang hua</mandarin> mah <mandarin>讲到:jiang dao</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>原来她发现这个:yuan lai ta fa xian zhe ge</mandarin> aunty right live alone and everything the family the his her family don't even live with her anymore


then she have to open this shop if not like she don't have money, to , run her own daily expenses


then <mandarin>我就在想:wo jiu zai xiang</mandarin> like if, if <mandarin>人家都:ren jia dou</mandarin> if like there's so many kind people out there that is willing to share on the social media as long as I feel that like you know people around us is gonna be kind and help one another I'm sure like you know we'll walk through this darkness together, then everything will be fine so just hope that all of these would be over soon then you know


everybody life can go back to normal, then hopefully the borders will be opened up then you know maybe we can go travelling in the near future


ya lor actually I think like I think the good part you know sometimes you know like how people say actually COVID, destroy job right but then actually like for my sister case right is different leh you know she just graduated from like school right then like


her first job is actually helping like the COVID ops, so like she went down to the dorm you know like how our construction sector is severely hit by then <mandarin>然后她就:ran hou ta jiu</mandarin>


ensure that you know everybody there is like, , mentally and physically okayor not <mandarin>然后我就觉得:ran hou wo jiu jue de</mandarin> like, it's a very different job, than, what usually the fresh grad would be doing lor cause she graduated from like , from the


from the business sector so like for her to like go and do these type of like COVID ops is very different from what you know as a normal grad grad she will do like usually like people of, of her profile who graduate you know <mandarin>会去那种银行做工:hui qu na zhong yin hang zuo gong</mandarin> ah <mandarin>或者做:huo zhe zuo</mandarin> office ah


but then <mandarin>她去帮:ta qu bang</mandarin> COVID ops which is very different leh and I I find it quite meaningful and, meaningful and impactful lah cause it's going to be like once in a lifetime where she get to be, part of a big operation in singapore you know helping, helping the co COVID ops


which I find, find it quite interesting lor


ya lor I agree lor you know previously they keep saying like


all the foreign workers are snatching up people's job and everything but I find it, like a bit irrelevant ah because they are the one that helped to build singapore like even let's even talk about HDB <mandarin>也是他们建的:ye shi ta men jian de</mandarin> like if <mandarin>没有他们:mei you ta men</mandarin> then HDB <mandarin>那些那里可能那么快建好:nei xie na li ke neng na me kuai jian hao</mandarin> then <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> so so many of those HDB <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> like on hold <mandarin>不可不可以建:bu ke bu ke yi jian</mandarin> then all the construction worker like in a dorm then like I bet like they are not even feeling you know very good because they will also want to work what they also want to have I mean they come to singapore


help the nation build a better future and then they you know then <mandarin>他们回去的时候他们可以跟他们:ta men hui qu de shi hou ta men ke yi gen ta men</mandarin> children <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> !wah! you know err I went over there and then I help singapore to build this and build that which I think for them is a sort of like achievement you know they come here wanting to err besides wanting to earn a income is to like help us to build the nation


but then like so many so many of the singaporeans are like ungrateful for them, but personally I I find that they have, they hold a very meaningful job like <mandarin>在这里帮我们建:zai zhe li bang wo men jian</mandarin> you know like even if the shopping centre that we go to, mostly are built by by them so I find that singapore singapore government is actually quite


nice to like, help them now especially in times of crisis because they know that you know they are the ones that help us to build singapore


!wah! <mandarin>还有还有这样子的:hai you hai you zhe yang zi de</mandarin> case <mandarin>我都没有听过:wo dou mei you ting guo</mandarin> sia sounds very bad sia, what would people even do such thing


I think like people companies that try to , like <mandarin>我家那时候也是有很多:wo jia na shi hou ye shi you hen duo</mandarin> <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> spam call ah <mandarin>最近我也是:zui jin wo ye shi</mandarin> receive <mandarin>到:dao</mandarin> a lot like spam call from DHL


telling me that you know how I got err a parcel parcel overseas and everything then try to scam people, then I was just thinking that you know , those, those that know that all of these will be a scam will be more cautious about these but what about like you know those elderly or those people that


<mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> parents <mandarin>也是不懂:ye shi bu dong</mandarin> lah like whether this phone call is legit or not because they won't know what, so I think like quite sad lor to have, so many of such cases in singapore now but, ya lor hope that like you know maybe the news and everything will continue to educate more people then they will not get scammed


(hmm), ya lor I also agree, ya lor I also agree but, I guess


we can't do much about it, !wah! I think very terrible I mean err I think maybe like for people of our age you know youngsters cause social we grew up with social media


it's not that social media suddenly came in but, social media has been there like you know ever since, ever since we were born like how we will always watch Youtube go to like Twitter go to Instagram so it's, it's a very common avenue for us to express our thought


and what we have went through like you know remember how like last time you go to Facebook, and then tell always tag a post about what we do together or what we do on that day like


so I feel that like, like <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> lor social media is a very, important aspect of our lives it's something that we cannot replace anymore it's it's just part of our life, and I think that (hmm), now that we are twenty plus I think like even those


like <mandarin>你懂我们出去外面吃东西然后我们也会看到:ni dong wo men chu qu wai mian chi dong xi ran hou wo men ye hui kan dao</mandarin> like <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> toddler <mandarin>一两岁然后他们就在那里玩他们的:yi liang sui ran hou ta men jiu zai na li wan ta men de</mandarin> ipad <mandarin>在那里看:zai na li kan</mandarin> Youtube video then <mandarin>我有时候去:wo you shi hou qu</mandarin> Youtube <mandarin>我还看到:wo hai kan dao</mandarin> like <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> <mandarin>很年轻的女孩子:hen nian qing de nv hai zi</mandarin> I think like <mandarin>十五岁这样子她们就在那里做:shi wu sui zhe yang zi ta men jiu zai na li zuo</mandarin> make up tutorial leh like they are so young then they are doing make up tutorial like even


last time our age make up tutorial I won't, there's its pros and cons lah like you mentioned I think


the good part is that like like you know news spread faster but on the flip side bad news also spread faster you know, but generally I feel that social media has brought more, , positivity than negativity lor like


how you know even let's even talk about like more legal aspect about how some court cases like if we disagree with what the judge feel and then , we know that majority of the people will disagree with it because usually cause in singapore it's civil civil cases so


, the predict, the the cases before it will err prevail mah so everyone knows knows that in singapore, our each and every of the court cases is very important so, if we know that like this decision is going to be conclusive in singapore then it's going to make an impact to everybody mah <mandarin>所以:suo yi</mandarin> like <mandarin>有时候你会看到那些人他们会:you shi hou ni hui kan dao nei xie ren ta men hui</mandarin> post <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> social media <mandarin>然后讲:ran hou jiang</mandarin> [orh] this this this happen then end up this is consequence that they are going to face then <mandarin>就会看到很多:jiu hui kan dao hen duo</mandarin> like !wah! like you know express their their anger or their their unhappiness to the case then then from there usually more or less that will be err something that is going to happen next lah like maybe


the court case will maybe bring up to the , court of appeal and everything which I find it very interesting and something that I never thought that, social media will be able to provide us with lor like


, we there's just very little time for us to study then if all of a sudden they want to like change to like online exam it's just very difficult for us student lor then like <mandarin>我们不可能:wo men bu ke neng</mandarin> like within <mandarin>一些:yi xie</mandarin> within like <mandarin>几天然后就:ji tian ran hou jiu</mandarin> like adapt eh <mandarin>我们要:wo men yao</mandarin> online exam <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> it was just very difficult then during that point of time there's even like this petition going around saying that we want to we want to like you know just


have the option to SU so like the option to SU means that we can choose to like pass fail our mods so it will not be, it will not be part of our overall GPA lor then which a lot of people expressed their interest in that lor then like you know like <mandarin>一传十十传百:yi chuan shi shi chuan bai</mandarin> then everybody will pass around then the petition just err gather a lot of like support then eventually like !wah! then our course really become pass fail like SU options which I find it very interesting is something that I didn't thought that social media will be able to


social media we are like <mandarin>比如讲我们:bi ru jiang wo men</mandarin> if <mandarin>有一天:you yi tian</mandarin> like <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> decide to go overseas and study then, like <mandarin>我们在:wo men zai</mandarin> so so far away country then we can actually connect with our parents and our friends in singapore which I find it a very good point about how we can share our life over social media like we don't need to like you know


call them talk to them <mandarin>每天跟他们讲话跟他们视频:mei tian gen ta men jiang hua gen ta men shi pin</mandarin> but actually <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> update <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> social media one one shot <mandarin>全部人就知道:quan bu ren jiu zhi dao</mandarin> like [orh] !wah! <mandarin>他今天去到哪里哪里今天在做什么做什么:ta jin tian qu dao na li na li jin tian zai zuo shen me zuo shen me</mandarin> so I think like it, it's a, positive thing that it bring to <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> lor like


ya lor I ya lor true true true I agree it with that also like <mandarin>每次我看到我弟弟他在那里:mei ci wo kan dao wo di di ta zai na li</mandarin> supposed to study for <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> N level then <mandarin>他就在那里玩电话然后跟我讲:ta jiu zai na li wan dian hua ran hou gen wo jiang</mandarin> oh <mandarin>我要:wo yao</mandarin> take <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> rest I want to take a rest


then I just find it then all I see him doing is watching tiktok watching instagram watching youtube, I guess to them like you know is a form of resting it's a form of like escape from reality you know like social media provides them with


so many things that they can see and so so many different experience that they can get so it's kind of like a short getaway from them but, sometimes, (hmm), drifted away for a while then they will forget that they need to do things so I think


but of course social media social media will also bring about, brings about that point lor


[orh] <mandarin>最近:zui jin</mandarin> hor <mandarin>我去那个:wo qu na ge</mandarin> jewel airport lah <mandarin>你懂那个新开的:ni dong na ge xin kai de</mandarin> jewel airport then I mean <mandarin>他开了很久:ta kai le hen jiu</mandarin> lah <mandarin>因为现在没有什么地方去:yin wei xian zai mei you shen me di fang qu</mandarin> mah then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> like <mandarin>昨天就去那边:zuo tian jiu qu na bian</mandarin> <mandarin>走走看看吃吃:zou zou kan kan chi chi</mandarin> but I think <mandarin>因为是:yin wei shi</mandarin> weekend <mandarin>所以蛮多人的:suo yi man duo ren de</mandarin> but


secondary school september holiday


then like <mandarin>他们就来开放:ta men jiu lai kai fang</mandarin> one week for free but after that <mandarin>我们到了那边:wo men dao le na bian</mandarin> hor then <mandarin>我们才知道:wo men cai zhi dao</mandarin> !wah! Sian only first five hundred <mandarin>才是:cai shi</mandarin> free <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> then <mandarin>我们就:wo men jiu</mandarin> end up <mandarin>我们就没有去:wo men jiu mei you qu</mandarin> lor plus <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> packed <mandarin>又很多人排队又排很长久就很:you hen duo ren pai dui you pai hen chang jiu jiu hen</mandarin> Sian lor then <mandarin>去到那边就没有排队:qu dao na bian jiu mei you pai dui</mandarin> ah but I think like


<mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> indoor <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> area <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> aircon <mandarin>的所以就凉凉的:de suo yi jiu liang liang de</mandarin> lor like I think given singapore's weather it's actually quite good to go there to like take a walk walk around see see cause like there a lot of greenery and I think it's


a very good place like cause I mean it's open area mah even though it's open area the sunlight and everything come in but it's still very cooling place because the they they allow like the aircon aircon to be, inside so it's very cooling and very nice place to hang out, then like they have like a lot of eatery restaurants there


and also like a lot of shops there to for you to shop so like you know <mandarin>蛮蛮好的:man man hao de</mandarin> mah like, then like <mandarin>很多地方坐下来休息或者:hen duo di fang zuo xia lai xiu xi huo zhe</mandarin> like you know you can go to like try out different cafe like I see


I saw like this there's this like Koi cafe there, !wah! they actually sell macaron and like very unique drinks there I think like you can customize drinks that you want, so it's actually quite interesting then I think like another interesting thing that, I saw there was that saw there was that I think like Uniqlo having sales I think like nowadays you go a lot of places also like <mandarin>很多地方有:hen duo di fang you</mandarin> you know big sales


then like if like recently <mandarin>我也是有去:wo ye shi you qu</mandarin> like IMM outlet, now COVID situation then a lot of like business need to sustain


<mandarin>去去:qu qu</mandarin> like you know <mandarin>爬山走走外面:pa shan zou zou wai mian</mandarin> like there's a lot of places to go or even can go to the Sembawang hot spring there


then like <mandarin>可以带你的鸡蛋去:ke yi dai ni de ji dan qu</mandarin> then <mandarin>去那边煮熟鸡蛋:qu na bian zhu shu ji dan</mandarin> I think it's quite a interesting place to go lor


ya lor true actually I also agree that like online shopping is good lah but for me like I'm the type that hor <mandarin>我要去:wo yao qu</mandarin> like <mandarin>那个真的真的那个:na ge zhen de zhen de na ge</mandarin> the the real physical shop to like <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> hor <mandarin>那个东西:na ge dong xi</mandarin> like <mandarin>是长得怎样的:shi zhang de zen yang de</mandarin> ah <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> colour ah <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> size ah then like <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> <mandarin>东西那个那个:dong xi na ge na ge</mandarin> how does it feel like


then I will go to the I like to go to the shop and see how it is then, like you say lor like online shopping is more is more affordable and the price is more competitive, that's why I like to, I also want to go online shopping lah cause there's, I mean if you go physical shop like <mandarin>你看东西就:ni kan dong xi jiu</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>这样而已:zhe yang er yi</mandarin> but if <mandarin>你去:ni qu</mandarin> online shopping !wah! there's endless amount of things that you can scroll you can scroll and scroll and scroll and and you can never finish the online shopping experience just


too many things that you can see online, and like even now I'm also like I'm very into like the shopee app !wah! they got a lot of games do you play them, oh ya ya ya same same same I also play the shopee farm


then today got a rainy season !wah! then is like your bucket get filled up much faster <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> like !wah! then <mandarin>我还会:wo hai hui</mandarin> like set <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> alarm hor to like timer lor to remind me that oh my bucket is full already so I think like you know the online shopping experience, like shopee don't even don't only just provide a good


and more affordable online platform it also provide you with like you know the type of like gaming experience like they also sometimes they also have like those life show giving out with free coins, so I also agree with you lah like online shopping now has become a new norm where people like to go online to shop because


of the convenience that it offers and a more a more competitive price that it offers because, they don't have physical shop they don't need a lot of people to tend and man the shop, so with a lower operating cost it comes at a more affordable price to its consumer


ya lor true true I think like those too expensive stuff like branded stuff branded bags right I mean I think I don't think anybody will go to go online and buy LV bag like, they will doubt its authenticity because it might be a fake bag, then you can't even tell don't even have I mean it's difficult to tell maybe like it's a <mandarin>很好的:hen hao de</mandarin> a <mandarin>货:huo</mandarin> you know then <mandarin>他就卖到:ta jiu mai dao</mandarin> like <mandarin>很像这样子:hen xiang zhe yang zi</mandarin> but actually it's fake so I think like expensive stuff it's better to go to the shop


physically itself to like buy it or like I think sometimes even skin care also because


cause I mean especially now that there's still like a good, proportion of older generation, there are type of person like my mom lor !wah! tell me cannot go online and buy <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> buy that because <mandarin>因为你上网买东西:yin wei ni shang wang mai dong xi</mandarin> then like <mandarin>你不懂那个东西:ni bu dong na ge dong xi</mandarin> even though <mandarin>他在上网他可能他:ta zai shang wang ta ke neng ta</mandarin> description <mandarin>讲他:jiang ta</mandarin> !wah! this thing is


but I think that is to certain extent lah because sometimes some things are really the same, so I think like really depends on what you are looking out lor


oh ya lor ya lor


ya lor true like <mandarin>刚才你讲的那个:gang cai ni jiang de na ge</mandarin> online like <mandarin>买:mai</mandarin> supermarket hor my family also very into like going you know cause I mean NTUC and Giant they have their own app so it's authentic so like my family will tend to like trust it <mandarin>然后我们就会去:ran hou wo men jiu hui qu</mandarin> <mandarin>有时候就看:you shi hou jiu kan</mandarin> like eh <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> <mandarin>可能我:ke neng wo</mandarin> <mandarin>因为我们家里比较多人:yin wei wo men jia li bi jiao duo ren</mandarin> mah <mandarin>所以我们要:suo yi wo men yao</mandarin> like <mandarin>买很多东西:mai hen duo dong xi</mandarin> then like <mandarin>买米那些:mai mi nei xie</mandarin> ah then <mandarin>如果我们要自己拿回家就很重:ru guo wo men yao zi ji na hui jia jiu hen zhong</mandarin> then <mandarin>我们就会:wo men jiu hui</mandarin> you know go to the app and then we will go and order everything there then it brings a lot of a lots a lot more convenient a lot more convenient to us lor because we don't need to go to the shop we don't need to like you know drive all the way down to the like maybe the nearest NTUC or like the nearest Giant just to buy something


and then like we have to pick the stuff put it into the trolley go to the cashier push it to the car and then go back home then carry it back home !wah! like so <mandarin>麻烦:ma fan</mandarin> but then, <mandarin>相比的话如果我们:xiang bi de hua ru guo wo men</mandarin> just <mandarin>去:qu</mandarin> online <mandarin>买:mai</mandarin> just <mandarin>坐在家里:zuo zai jia li</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>你要买什么:ni yao mai shen me</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>买这个买那个:mai zhe ge mai na ge</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>买买买:mai mai mai</mandarin> then after that check out then usually cause err I think Giant their delivery


mode is actually quite affordable because as long as you spend I think maybe two hundred dollar then or either I forgot how much is it but is it's at a price range that you know my family can usually hit because, , more people mah so easier to hit the purchasing target


then I just think it brings a lot of convenient like even during that COVID period we don't need to, go so far away I mean it's safer to be at home and then having the goods delivered to us lor


, (hmm) ya lor true eh I heard then just now you talk about your CCA what CCA you having ah


, oh so you all after usually after CCA then you all will go and eat together is it


(hmm) ya lor ya lor <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor !wah! <mandarin>这样子:zhe yang zi</mandarin> actually <mandarin>听你的这样:ting ni de zhe yang</mandarin> life <mandarin>这样子讲蛮:zhe yang zi jiang man</mandarin> interesting <mandarin>一样子的:yi yang zi de</mandarin> hor, okay <mandarin>这样子:zhe yang zi</mandarin> bye bye

!wah! Jialat, !wah!


!wah!


the taxi ah, as in their own lah, but, not much use I mean not much use right, I mean as compared to Grab the pricing, usually Grab win lah


eh, oh ya hor good idea leh I I actually, oh, ya I didn't think of that also I only got Grab and Gojek, Gojek !huh! is like another is like something like Grab lor another ride ride


but not as prominent in singapore lah I mean because Grab is the major one mah, ya lah more or more or less lor so usually when, I see Grab got surge or what then I try Gojek


I I usually just go for Grab ah I seldom sit Gojek also, ride ah, that's from the states right eh eh singapore have meh


I only know Uber lah ride I don't know why leh


uh


that means that means is a small time company lor also not err, not widespread lor, is it still is it still available in singapore cause I've never heard about, about that before leh


uh, so five thousand ah five thousand sounds like quite a lot leh, interesting [orh]


but Sian leh I still I still like, still like Uber the best leh last time they give a lot of the , all those hor !wah! like three dollar off whatever five dollar off whatever hor


right then after Grab take over <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> hor !wah!, they can just set whatever price people also will take


I also don't know leh, but ten dollars, ten dollars as in what from airport is ten dollars ah, as in no matter where you going


ya, hor


uh, ya lah but <mandarin>这种不多:zhe zhong bu duo</mandarin> right <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> discount, a bit only lah unless you are like the really frequent frequent user of Grab if not also makes no sense lor


hor, !aiya! I don't know lah a lot of things getting very now lah, somehow this pandemic ah !walao! eh


ya I think the first few first or second week of april


[orh] of course lah cause, Jialat <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> hor


!huh!, Sian hor, but the Grab driver eh [orh] eh but that time the Grab offered, the drivers to do the Grab food also right as as another source of income


september !wah!, uh but anyway now circuit breaker end <mandarin>了了嘛:liao le ma</mandarin> also Grab should be the business should be okay <mandarin>了啦:le la</mandarin> now more people taking already


oh ya hor , ya !aiya! but as compared to the, CB period definitely more people taking the Grab now lah


ya and <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> hor, it's like Macam I don't know leh it's like, as per normal lor


you see the downstairs !walao! the the basketball court how many people you got count or not just now


I don't know leh the last <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> the last I saw was not five meh, unless I'm not updated lah


I know they slowly opening up lah certain like certain things maybe like, up to fifty is it like those what, err ROM those kind lah, but sports <mandarin>我没有看到:wo mei you kan dao</mandarin> leh


!haiya!, ya all YOLO already lor we don't even check the


ya because normally is like a mix it doesn't really, like no effect on us already everyday what hundred ah two hundred ah, it will never go away anyway not anytime soon lah


!aiyo!, still not safe lah to fly hor


ya that's why if already so little people coming in and the, the infected rate is so high ah I cannot imagine like, how how bad is it is you know in other countries, and don't say other countries lah we're exporting people also I think we, the ones going back also high chance Tio also ah


we don't even know, uh, !aiya! india <mandarin>很惨:hen can</mandarin> leh the reported numbers also what I don't !aiya! obviously is not true lah


uh, what to do


ya the <mandarin>他们还是:ta men hai shi</mandarin> developing country mah, ya ya and I don't even think


some people even know that the, pandemic is going on there ah, what do you think, hor, or even if they I mean I don't even think they care also as long as is like not a high, high risk of death ah


think they don't care sia, ya true lah


!aiya!, err


at least, ya because <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> vaccine is like, what not even anywhere in sight, then <mandarin>我读到:wo du dao</mandarin> hor vaccine <mandarin>需要:xu yao</mandarin> testing all this mah <mandarin>至少也是要一年多:zhi shao ye shi yao yi nian duo</mandarin> leh


so, if it's not even anywhere near inside and then plus <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> testing hor !wah!, long way to go then you see other countries, how they handle the situation, it's like they don't some of them don't even care also


so, ya so not anytime soon lah definitely, ya but <mandarin>没有没有:mei you mei you</mandarin> news leh


ya <mandarin>对我有我有看到:dui wo you wo you kan dao</mandarin> think got, what how many eighty is it that time, ya no use <mandarin>了嘛:le ma</mandarin> still in the midst of testing lor I guess


ya I guess they don't want to give like hope lah, when it comes it comes lor, but don't expect miracles lor, !haiya!


I think four thousand <mandarin>是那个:shi na ge</mandarin> the total number ah, then, eh no


ya <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> sad leh


ya, correct, ya lor

ya, no no no the the ghost recon one was fifty plus original price, so after discount was seventeen then another game also something like that, so I bought these two games lor so both about thirty dollars total


ya good deal mah some more CB like, already stuck at home, some more the game like not bad leh as in like I play Liao it, managed to last me


quite long ah, err not as often already cause I completed it already, but if you compare it to other games hor other games like after you complete the game or what right, there's no more, playability already this one you still can continue playing

err, depends lah if I free I will watch second time like maybe the next day, or one week later, <mandarin>有时间:you shi jian</mandarin> mah then


because for me right if I don't understand the thing right, I have to make sure I understand, <mandarin>说的也对:shuo de ye dui</mandarin> lor but but <mandarin>我也是:wo ye shi</mandarin> seldom watch this kind of movies mah


usually I will Netflix, oh recently Netflix right they just released a new movie called alive


no lah #lee min ho#, #lee min ho# is quite, it's quite outdated


oh really, what, I actually I I never watch, but anyway this alive right, I I don't know who is the guy who acted in it lah


ya, I never see him before, but the #park shin hye#


she really very Chio


oh, is it oh, what's what's coffee prince ah, is is what movie or drama


two thousand ten, ten years ago meh, ten years ago, I think <mandarin>我还没有:wo hai mei you</mandarin> watch <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> korean drama leh


so this alive is about, korean zombies, err, it's like there's a breakout or something, the whole of Seoul like in trouble lor


train to Busan is like a pandemic, then they just like, this girl and guy they try to survive


ya, it's quite, it's quite nice leh I feel like, there's a lot of action is action packed


and, a lot of thrilling scenes as well, I think upon five, four


yes, four, because I like zombie shows so


yes, I, i think you should go watch, but you got Netflix account


oh really, oh so you watch halfway then she will


[orh] really ah, oh I share I share with my friend actually


like, I never see him watch any show at all leh


when I enter Netflix I can keep on watching and watching the whole day, so I'm guessing <mandarin>他没有看:ta mei you kan</mandarin> lor


err uh <mandarin>好像是你的:hao xiang shi ni de</mandarin> account <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> it's not the family account, so, yes the solo account


so only either me or, him can watch right, that's why <mandarin>我就想:wo jiu xiang</mandarin> everytime I also manage to watch but he also never watch


so, ya so is like Macam I paying


to watch, ya, oh ya, ya that's true


oh, but then you were her sister mah so if you, I mean sorry, you're you're the brother, so is okay right if you leech


that's true, true, then <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> maybe you should treat her every every month or something right, like as a token of appreciation


oh my goodness, that is really far


but anyway singapore how, how big right, if you drive from Tampines to Jurong it's about, forty, forty minutes of


so is still manageable lah hor, , !wah!, [orh] I remember that time my workplace all the way at the far end hor, of singapore


so, all the way


it's about one hour, or maybe one hour fifteen minutes, then !wah! that time it was like hell man


Grab <mandarin>很贵:hen gui</mandarin> leh, Grab from #bukit batok# to #pasir ris# is about, maybe err if cheap one right is twenty, eight, off peak hour


then peak hour <mandarin>就那个:jiu na ge</mandarin> fare <mandarin>会:hui</mandarin> increase <mandarin>到:dao</mandarin> Siao, will have surge one lor, got one time the fare search until sixty something dollars


ya so I waited for like half an hour hor, then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> surge <mandarin>都没有:dou mei you</mandarin> go down leh, then end up I just take lor


ya actually hor, should you know the comfort delgro they have an application as well, ya, ya they have their own


I I'm thinking right if off peak period Grab will the Grab fares will be cheaper, but if this kind of crazy search right maybe comfort delgro the search will be lower


oh what is Gojek, oh I've never heard of it before leh, so <mandarin>是跟:shi gen</mandarin> Grab <mandarin>一样啦:yi yang la</mandarin> the system


you know err this application called ride


R Y D E, that one <mandarin>我不清楚:wo bu qing chu</mandarin> leh, have last time have, !hais! last time I tried using ride lah but


they cannot find driver for me, so I'm assuming hor


ride


ya actually now I also never heard of it already <mandarin>可是那次我:ke shi na ci wo</mandarin> Google hor I think there's like five thousand, drivers I think so lah, ya actually five thousand <mandarin>好像蛮多的:hao xiang man duo de</mandarin> leh


oh, yes, !wah! I remember last time


I used to take Grab eh Uber, from the airport back home only ten dollars, they were having this promotion for quite some time, then <mandarin>我就想:wo jiu xiang</mandarin> how come they can offer such attractive promotions like


yes, yes that's why for me right I stay #bukit batok# it is much more


much more <mandarin>划算:hua suan</mandarin> for me, but at least now Grab


do you know hor, Grab, cause because now Grab no more codes right, you can actually buy vouchers from, other platforms, to use


ya this is true


but this I, you know the circuit breaker period right from it started in april right, !wow!, that time, whenever I go out to


ya, they just queue, queue outside the shopping mall or what, then somemore they will get chase away one by the, traffic police or something


ya I heard that the Grab driver they can do Grab food until september, but september already lor now so I don't know whether the this scheme is still on or not


ya but a lot of people still work from home leh, like my <mandarin>姐姐:jie jie</mandarin> lor


this one is <mandarin>肯定的啦:ken ding de la</mandarin> this one, the more people take Grab now because all the retail shops, all open already mah


!huh!, I never leh, but now gathering <mandarin>可以那么多人:ke yi na me duo ren</mandarin> ah


eh actually I thought also <mandarin>是五个人:shi wu ge ren</mandarin> leh


I think church can have fifty


but now I think most people may not, think about it already because the cases are going down, actually true leh I


I <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> already stop checking leh,


but I thought err, very little people coming in now


but I see the news hor apparently <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> infect infected of the imported one <mandarin>对吗:dui ma</mandarin> all from india leh


like, like so sad I feel so sad for them, because india got so many slums so


if one person, if one person Kena the COVID in the slum the whole slum may be destroyed already


that is very true, because <mandarin>他们也有很多:ta men ye you hen duo</mandarin> different diseases and what to battle with


so maybe they just treat this COVID as another, different kind of, disease or what right, !haiya! when do you think this, COVID situation will


disappear, oh my god two years


they also never really cover much on the, err vaccine testing also, ya, you know <mandarin>我在:wo zai</mandarin> somewhere <mandarin>读过:du guo</mandarin> hor the ITA the international aviation


err, transport, they say right the airline travel hor, will not recover anytime soon then the, earliest may be twenty twenty four


oh, I thought they retrenched four thousand plus people


!huh! like that <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> sad leh, because I think you, then suddenly get the news of being retrenched


and some more at this, period, but I think hor this kind of thing also inevitable lah, like even with the government help


I think also cannot last


I heard from my friend's friend right her, she got retrenched leh, consolation


but apparently <mandarin>是她的:shi ta de</mandarin> dream job leh, but, cannot be helped lah this kind of thing


because already they, they already, I think


oh <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> figure <mandarin>我不懂:wo bu dong</mandarin> leh, I heard that the government hor, will pay eh the government


paying seventy five percent of <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> salary, to every local hired in the airline, last time lah


I think it stopped, in august or september, then I think now is another, another new figure like maybe fifty percent


anyway <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> during


what game is that


oh oh you saying one game fifty dollar, then <mandarin>两个:liang ge</mandarin> game


eh, like that <mandarin>很便宜:hen pian yi</mandarin> leh


oh so you are still playing it now lah


then actually is quite worth <mandarin>你的钱啦:ni de qian la</mandarin> hor, then you still thinking of buying any other games


but then I see so many places got so many people in large groups playing together could <mandarin>这样可以:zhe yang ke yi</mandarin> meh


ya lor, then where you play your soccer at, balestier is the


or is it purple line ah, [orh]


oh so you got direct bus lah from your house, eh eh you stay damn near


balestier is where, eh, balestier, #boon keng#, oh #boon keng# maybe is the purple line


okay lah but still, I mean it's quite near lah as compared to <mandarin>我的家:wo de jia</mandarin> lor, but anyway, at least you exercised and


maybe finish the game right during the circuit breaker, instead of like Nua everyday


I go your house, actually I very long never go your house already leh, the last time was


pre CB is it, oh my gosh


ten months <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> leh, eh nine months lah january to september, ya I remember that day


oh really ah


oh my god so so bad, that time, ya you know why, you know why only my face have


ya cause I really spam sunblock then I try to keep my body under the water, then only my face exposed, underwater also will Kena lah but


it the swimming costume that I wear also plays a part mah I wore the quite quite a lot of coverage one, ya lor


because your whole back exposed mah then <mandarin>那个太阳那么:na ge tai yang na me</mandarin> hot, then we see how


your mom cook ah, okay can, but


!wah! I love #bak kut teh# leh I really like


I love meat and vegetables, !wah! you know last week my mom went to buy the


they they sell the box of spices ten, ten packet for twenty two dollars


<mandarin>蛮便宜啦:man pian yi la</mandarin> like if you craving for, #bak kut teh# or what, because for me right I, personally <mandarin>很喜欢:hen xi huan</mandarin> #song fa#


and is, then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> #song fa# <mandarin>的是那个:de shi na ge</mandarin> clear soup the one then I prefer


steamboat base then <mandarin>不错:bu cuo</mandarin> leh, and it's not very peppery also, if you want I can pass you some of the spice I still got quite a lot the packet


okay lor


eggs ah


I like scrambled eggs leh, like very western hor


okay then <mandarin>炒蛋:chao dan</mandarin> lor, I love eggs leh


what's that, you know eggs hor got six grams of protein, I mean it's not a lot lah but, you know people always avoid the egg yolk right cause they think high cholesterol


but actually is, there's a lot of benefits to eating the egg yolk also mah, got good good stuff inside the egg yolk also mah


oh !wah! I love that, err, it's not Onsen Onsen


ya but recently I went to eat the


Keisuke ramen with my friend, err, eh cineleisure ah


prawn <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> lobster broth, very nice leh and I love the eggs that they serve there, then outside it's hard like hard boil egg ya and is free flow


free flow, so <mandarin>我只是:wo zhi shi</mandarin> just order and order lor


beansprouts <mandarin>我只拿一个:wo zhi na yi ge</mandarin> serving lah <mandarin>因为我的朋友没有吃:yin wei wo de peng you mei you chi</mandarin> vegetables so <mandarin>她没有吃:ta mei you chi</mandarin> then <mandarin>我就吃她的:wo jiu chi ta de</mandarin> share lor


because the share they the portion they give quite big meant for two people to share I think then she never eat so I ate everything, ya it's quite worth it


Ichiran yes I've tried that, that time I went japan for holiday I ate it like, three days ah out of seven days it's so nice


especially <mandarin>我喜欢他们的:wo xi huan ta men de</mandarin> egg, but I feel that, their their meat is very thin, their pork slices


because it's too little hor


I love the soup also I usually will order normal lah for everything, yeah I always drink finish one


there will be some words on it, you like Ajisen is it, the last time I ate


Ajisen was, err in JB is it KSL or city square


!wah! the Ajisen there, maybe, five to ten dollars only one bowl sing, then in singapore if you eat Ajisen is maybe, ten to fifteen dollars


I will go there <mandarin>整天的:zheng tian de</mandarin> like, massage then go cafe hopping


I think maybe, fifteen RM leh that's like five dollars per pax


how to get this kind of price here, even student price also <mandarin>不是那么便宜:bu shi na me pian yi</mandarin> leh, hor


you as in like, after this restriction is lifted, I also don't know whether I dare to go to other countries or not


ya I think JB will be the first country where everyone will go there, because it's like short get away mah, ya


hong kong vietnam, ya USA also


I went there for holiday oh you you also went before, I went to south island, oh really


north island is auckland side is it wellington, christ church ya, actually christ church nothing much lah it's just a stopover for me


oh really, but <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> earthquake <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> like five years ago that kind right


oh I thought there was quite, ya I also thought it was quite long


that one I never really notice when I went there, I only stayed there for one day christ church


ya I drove around, ya, no but I think nowadays youngsters also don't take tour one lah they rather just drive around


ya, we rented car lor


and somemore the roads there quite


quite sleep eh quite, quite steep also hor yes and a lot of gravel roads also, I I drove lor because my friend don't know how to drive


ya, somemore we, we took the manual, ya, !huh!


go for it and take manual, I mean although it's more <mandarin>麻烦:ma fan</mandarin> but, you can travel to like off the beaten path that kind


auto <mandarin>好像比较:hao xiang bi jiao</mandarin> expensive leh


but I think <mandarin>那边的:na bian de</mandarin> food hor <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> expensive, I remember <mandarin>那次我去:na ci wo qu</mandarin> hor I went during err


their holiday or something, then <mandarin>我去那个:wo qu na ge</mandarin> cafe <mandarin>吃他们有那个:chi ta men you na ge</mandarin> holiday surcharge, ya I it's like I was so shocked when they say they had <mandarin>那个二十八仙:na ge er shi ba xian</mandarin> surcharge ah because it's a


it's a bank holiday or something


they will like say what err chinese new year menu that kind of thing right, this is, oh you always go out eat !huh!


oh I always never go out eat leh


but the usually is usually the chinese shops all close right, ya thought usually all close so I just stay at home eat steamboat, or like <mandarin>煮饭吃:zhu fan chi</mandarin> that kind ya then invite relatives over


then <mandarin>我们一起:wo men yi qi</mandarin> play games all those, I miss new zealand leh


new zealand really very pretty, actually for me [orh], I think I prefer korea


actually that time I went korea hor there's a lot of err nice nature places as well, of course new zealand better because their scale is much bigger actually ya


okay lah actually I like both lah, actually hor the Oppa there right, they don't look the same as those in the movies and dramas


then they <mandarin>整整容:zheng zheng rong</mandarin> until they all look the same their faces, really is like I think they go to the same surgeon or what


but if it makes them prettier then good for them lah, but mostly is they just look the same leh to me


actually <mandarin>有些男的也是蛮:you xie nan de ye shi man</mandarin> handsome <mandarin>的啦:de la</mandarin> but for me, I prefer looking at the girls there, cause I feel that <mandarin>那个那些女的比较有:na ge nei xie nv de bi jiao you</mandarin> fashion sense


K lah, ya, and it's so nice they can dress up for the different seasons leh


ya because now like monsoon season or what ah


actually <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> leh <mandarin>我有看过:wo you kan guo</mandarin> leh, then I was thinking so hot they you can wear sweater or long sleeves meh


but maybe sometimes they come from like very cold places that's why they just wear the long sleeve all the way, then just like tolerate for that short period


but today very cool today, ya, it's like on off on off leh


it's been like that for the whole month, !huh! I don't like leh, it's like, I think like got more mosquitoes leh during this period


it works leh


mosquitoes swatter hor I press the thing right then I swat the mosquito hor, then there will be a very loud electric buzz sound


then I could feel it when I'm holding it, so I also got shocked when I used it for the first time, it's like <mandarin>很大的:hen da de</mandarin> spark


it's like , I think <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> insect get electrocuted lor


ya then <mandarin>我真的被:wo zhen de bei</mandarin> shock <mandarin>到:dao</mandarin> leh, like, I ya I was shocked that I could smell the, burning smell, ya but I couldn't find the body of the mosquito lah so I don't I don't know whether I got hit it or not


but anyway I feel like it's one of the, best thing that I had gotten lah during the circuit breaker


can last leh so far I only charge two times

<mandarin>你你你这么讲就有一点奇怪了:ni ni ni zhe me jiang jiu you yi dian qi guai le</mandarin> but <mandarin>有你问的是有没有人主动找我对不对:you ni wen de shi you mei you ren zhu dong zhao wo dui bu dui</mandarin> , <mandarin>没事没事我十八岁而已我的:mei shi mei shi wo shi ba sui er yi wo de</mandarin> classmate <mandarin>也是都是十七十八岁这样子所以都是跟我同样的年龄有没有人主动找我:ye shi dou shi shi qi shi ba sui zhe yang zi suo yi dou shi gen wo tong yang de nian ling you mei you ren zhu dong zhao wo</mandarin> ah <mandarin>有是有是有:you shi you shi you</mandarin> lah <mandarin>有人主动找我可是我那时候在:you ren zhu dong zhao wo ke shi wo na shi hou zai</mandarin> exams common test <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> study <mandarin>所以我很忙所以我忙到呢没有去理他们就是我的错不是他们的错是我没有理他们:suo yi wo hen mang suo yi wo mang dao ne mei you qu li ta men jiu shi wo de cuo bu shi ta men de cuo shi wo mei you li ta men</mandarin> that's on me


so that our mindset is on like the same level of maturity so that <mandarin>不会像因为她年龄小所以看起来像我在欺负他们:bu hui xiang yin wei ta nian ling xiao suo yi kan qi lai xiang wo zai qi fu ta men</mandarin> or <mandarin>他年龄比我大所以看起来像我被在欺负:ta nian ling bi wo da suo yi kan qi lai xiang wo bei zai qi fu</mandarin> make sense,


, no but <mandarin>因为很多我认识很多女生他们跟我讲他们要找比他们大两三岁的人:yin wei hen duo wo ren shi hen duo nv sheng ta men gen wo jiang ta men yao zhao bi ta men da liang san sui de ren</mandarin> mah right <mandarin>所以我感觉这个也是很正常只是我:suo yi wo gan jue zhe ge ye shi hen zheng chang zhi shi wo</mandarin> personal preference <mandarin>而已:er yi</mandarin> ah <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> leh


ah ah <mandarin>她喜欢你:ta xi huan ni</mandarin> mah, ah <mandarin>所以是女朋友:suo yi shi nv peng you</mandarin> lah right, I see I see have you met her family yet


[orh] why why haven't met her family yet, [orh] but then does your family know about her


ah but then your parents have nothing against that mah right because you are old enough to date already right


eh <mandarin>不是讲你很花心是讲你在花时间来找对你正确的人:bu shi jiang ni hen hua xin shi jiang ni zai hua shi jian lai zhao dui ni zheng que de ren</mandarin> correct, finding the person that is correct for you ah right


(mmhmm), that's true


okay then <mandarin>你情人节会为她做什么好的东西:ni qing ren jie hui wei ta zuo shen me hao de dong xi</mandarin> meh nice <mandarin>的东西会做:de dong xi hui zuo</mandarin> mah


but then <mandarin>上一个情人节你有做什么:shang yi ge qing ren jie ni you zuo shen me</mandarin> mah, [orh] then <mandarin>上一个情人节什么都没有做:shang yi ge qing ren jie shen me dou mei you zuo</mandarin> ah <mandarin>她不会生气:ta bu hui sheng qi</mandarin> meh


not angry ah, she wasn't angry, so she doesn't have like expectation of you, [orh] okay then what do you what do you guys do when you go out anything fun


that that's all just eating ah, just eating like eating is nice ah eating is nice ya


(uh huh), <mandarin>我本来要去看:wo ben lai yao qu kan</mandarin> Mulan <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> I


!huh! ah <mandarin>是女生来的这个你不用多:shi nv sheng lai de zhe ge ni bu yong duo</mandarin> <mandarin>不用多问了:bu yong duo wen le</mandarin> so I asked this friend right I ask her is Mulan fun then she say actually no eh it's barely okay only, but then my other friend that's a male he was like !wah! but I watch Mulan because because <mandarin>刘亦菲太好看了刘亦菲:liu yi fei tai hao kan le liu yi fei</mandarin> so pretty


but then I also like <mandarin>刘亦菲:liu yi fei</mandarin> pretty meh okay only ah but ya I also like had high expectation for Mulan but apparently, apparently, is not so good lah so I don't know if I should go watch it I might go watch tenet instead


that's very interesting this the males of singapore very interesting right, ya <mandarin>肯定是看个人肯定是看:ken ding shi kan ge ren ken ding shi kan</mandarin> , absoulutely absoulutely

, !huh!


!huh!, !huh! then <mandarin>他现在在那里你知道:ta xian zai zai na li ni zhi dao</mandarin> mah


ah okay ah then you must have compassion for those type of people ah because this hard for them to survive in society also it's harder to for them ah they face a lot of discrimination I did a research for them on on this once so you must have compassion towards them or at the very least try not to get in their way ah when they try to do stuff right


, yes yes, ya ya ya yes yes yes that's true


yes, ya ya, !hais!, ya it's hard ah but like for example when I was young right I also didn't know that some people like when I was really young ah I also didn't know that some people are just you know born different their brain is just born with some differences than others so back then I didn't know so so I thought it was really weird then my parents explain to me then I have compassion for them but before that I just thought it was really weird so that was that was mistake on my end lah but


ya some sometimes we need to accept bullies is everywhere you know bullies is everywhere as a child were you bullied before

I make so many mistakes that's why the adults are always able to tell when little kids are lying that's because they think that their their lie is perfect nothing wrong but actually right actually is full of mistakes when you're older you can tell it's full of mistakes


actually ah as a kid ah I did a lot of stupid stuff mainly mainly physical stuff ah like getting myself hurt, I I give you an example so, ya so I give you an example so I was a really rash kid ah when I was young ah ya right now now now not so much I used to play a lot of sports now I also don't play sports anymore I literally just sit at home I work out ah I work out but in the very safe way so as to not get myself hurt so
