I think like last time, I think like it's very interesting and fun to like, open your own business, then, I want to also like communicate with clients


then like work, with them to, meet their needs and wants ah, but then after that like, when I, uh do like research right, then, I think obviously starting your own business very difficult lah then you


need to be able to take, risk lah cause like you need to put it, then after what happens, like you lose the money then <mandarin>你就没有那个钱:ni jiu mei you na ge qian</mandarin> already what then how you going to like survive


, like actually, cause like, now right everybody going, online to buy their goods, like I feel, I I don't think my business will be like


selling items, maybe like, sell, uh services like you know maybe those like, massage therapies all those like yoga those gym, like I feel, cause like nowadays, if everybody go online right then they won't go and shop


offline already what like they won't come to the malls and buy, clothes or anything mah, so then, after that, I think, like it's better to sell services instead of like products, then, need to like brainstorm lor like what kind of like services


and whether can like make money, cause services right like, you can book the service, online, but in order to experience the service right


so, you still need the offline experience mah, ya then, like actually I talking to my friend about this but then, like, well I said mah when you open your own business right you need to have, you need to be willing to take


risk then I'm not sure if I'm willing to take that risk you know because like what happens if, I plan right but then like in the end my business fail or like, but profit right is not, that great, so, that's why, this kind of


starting your own business right, like, uh you need to do a lot of research, and like just try lor, that's why I say like, uh I go uni, but for what, when you want to start your own business


you need <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> experience mah like, you just you go school yeah you have the knowledge but, that's why like you go out to work first right


like try, and open mah, like do your own business, !huh! in uni I make better choices


what do you mean, but then sometimes the theory is not applicable you see, like cause when you start your own business right or when you go out into the real working world right


it's like you will experience, a whole different thing already it's like uni cannot teach you everything all the things that can happen mah, so like you go out there, then it's like, you get the experience what you learn like first hand eh


true lor yeah lor that's why, I is just still, like continue going to uni lor also like, poly friends right they can't even, get into uni, or like


like, cannot afford lor then , I mean since I got this opportunity then just like go lor


okay lah then, if like, you could go back to the past right and give yourself like some advice right what would you tell your younger self, as in just anything lah like your younger self


when you first entered uni what would you say like do you have any advice, yeah, can, study harder


oh, I mean besides studying harder leh


cause I feel like everybody will say that like oh just study harder or like work smart, like all those typical, advice, will you say like go out and make more connections


like, be friends with your lecturers, you can earn like brownie points, !huh! you don't talk to your lecturers


every time in poly I always talk to my lecturers one then always like, what have lunch with them lah or like they tell me about, last time when they are the one who is studying, then


I always talk to my lecturers one leh, oh !wow!, !huh! got no break one meh like you just


go break, that is like my, timetable also


oh, then, like, so you got no other advice lah just study hard ah


oh, it wasn't with the school like it's not a requirement


oh


[orh]


, k lor, then, uh so like in uni you say you never join CCA right, !huh! then, so you just like, volunteer then you like study a bit


then just like that


, actually I don't know eh like cause you know I told you just now right like I joined two CCA right then what happens if I both get in right


I don't know whether like, I can cope or not lor, like, if I have two CCA then I also need to do like, community service, then, project work, and like


we got, family, like celebrate family dinner all those I don't know lah then, don't know if I can cope leh, ya


ya true but then also need to, plan in the future lah like if, really I get accepted then how, true, I don't know eh I think is either this week or next week


no idea, they they told told me like they will get back to us, like this batch of students, like next week or this week right then cause they still need to, do interviews with another batch of students


so all in all right, when I start CCA right is like, week seven or something it's like damn far away from now, yeah so, so it's like, from week one to seven right


ya lah but then like, if like that right then


ya lah true


yeah true, eh uh, did, mother buy cake ah, you never see the fridge ah


!huh! I feel like eating , like ice cream or cake leh, she got ice cream what flavour ah, !huh! got chocolate I only thought got vanilla


is it


oh, oh


!huh!, she go Seven Eleven just to buy the ice cream


!wah! she got a lot of time ah , I mean <mandarin>她喜欢她高兴就好:ta xi huan ta gao xing jiu hao</mandarin> lor


!aiya! you know how mother is it's like, she'll do whatever she want then after that, she will like, say say say say say , she nag nag nag nag nag then after that in the end she still continue


, actually last time right, I think you also experience right it's like, when we eat too much cold things then like, we will get stomach cramps one, but then, uh now like not so bad lah cause, uh


grandma she go and, boil those, herbal drinks, then after that like help, with our, menstruation regulation you know, then , when I take cold things is, not that, painful anymore right


then after, you go and eat lor, she ate all


her third time buy how many boxes she finish sia


uh vanilla, but then, uh, I don't know maybe <mandarin>我试那个巧克力:wo shi na ge qiao ke li</mandarin> later


you can try the vanilla, I mean Atas doesn't mean <mandarin>好吃:hao chi</mandarin> okay


no lah I think


I don't think she eat so much like, I thought you you say she buy, like her third time buying then, , no lah later can go and check lah


!huh! so she eat twice a day everyday


but then, she like working from home, then she got time to, go out <mandarin>买那个冰淇淋:mai na ge bing qi lin</mandarin> meh


oh, eh but then the what the


uh coming up soon right, I know, mooncake, and then


uh mother say, like her office, mooncake ah


!huh! you don't like mooncake, !huh! how come, mooncake nice what


then also not cold then you can take


yeah, nuts or what lah, that one not nice lah, but the original still okay lah not bad


actually I wonder right this COVID nineteen right like, when will it end sia like, next year chinese new year, how how to celebrate we just like stay home


then, like there's no, visiting, then


oh yeah true ah, but


so <mandarin>麻烦:ma fan</mandarin> this whole thing like, really screw up like everybody's plans then like, need to it's like people plan, like for example their holiday right, then after that because of this then


then after that, like, even some people they also like, then some people get retrenched which is even worse


, this whole situation sucks like I feel, twenty twenty right, so bad


yeah it's the bat


ya lor true


yeah


ya true


true lah, !aiya! actually this new normal right, like, I'm not sure, if I'm really used to it or not


cause like, uh everything online then I am that kind of person who needs to like, see the other person's like facial expression or body language, then like, it's easier to communicate lah I feel


ya true actually you know I read on the news right, like how, teachers right, like during this new normal right they really need to like step up their game eh cause like first right, from becoming teachers right they also need to like educate their students on how to like stay safe and


healthy so it's like all about you need to teach the students like, you know wash their hands and like ensure that they always wear mask then, need to explain to them the staggering of like recess all those then after that they also need to like call the parents right, on like, uh


like cause some some <mandarin>家庭没有那个电脑:jia ting mei you na ge dian nao</mandarin> then or sometimes like the wifi also like not very good or what, then like they also need to call, uh, the students whether can like


go to the online class or not then if cannot then, the chefs are <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> harbour like maybe you lend them those like, borrow laptop or what, then it's like really like teachers need to, like step up their game eh, then like I just feel like some teachers need to like get a raise man


ya that's why I feel like those very good teachers right, like, they should really get a raise or something, no but then like some teachers right like , sometimes they also like not very good I don't know like you know some teachers like they don't really care they just like


it's not part of my job, or like you know it's not like my job scope whatever then like they don't really care


, I don't know lah but then


I just think like, especially now right I think teachers, have a tougher job


true ah


yeah true


yeah true, but then I think


what happened ah but then like, I don't think it was that bad, I think cause like COVID affected the whole world while like SARS was just like, here like all all the !huh! SARS was


SARS affected the whole world meh, !huh! like the US all have meh I think not that bad leh like maybe have but like, !huh! are you sure SARS


I thought it just was like, common in like singapore and, like the asia, region no meh


[orh] I didn't know eh, oh, !aiya! but then, now I just need to live with it lor deal with it like even, when you go outside like can't even have like family gathering cause like


it's only subjected to like five people in a table at the restaurant then it's like, so hard to like, like talk to our cousins or whatever then, as in so long never meet them then, like just


also now if want to meet also cannot meet what cause like only five people per table, then we have like what, like six cousins, then they also have like, then then, two of them got like their significant other


then like it will be more and more people then like can't even meet

[orh] <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> ah <mandarin>我现在读他的:wo xian zai du ta de</mandarin> books mah


I think the last one is like <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> extension that has not been made into a movie yet, I guess, but <mandarin>我没有看那个:wo mei you kan na ge</mandarin> second movie lah <mandarin>你有看:ni you kan</mandarin> meh

then, why


falling down where


cute what, eh I got inspired to cut bangs because of my students from there I see them I see them with their bangs everyday <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> like <mandarin>超:chao</mandarin> cute <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> you know <mandarin>现在剪了:xian zai jian le</mandarin> bangs <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> realise oh my god please ah next time if I feel like cutting bangs again please stop me


cause hor <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> forehead <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> oily then because of my fore like oily forehead right every time my fringe touch, the forehead hor


really regret eh but then hor when I was sitting there at the hair dresser <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> seat right <mandarin>我在想:wo zai xiang</mandarin> oh my god <mandarin>我真的很想:wo zhen de hen xiang</mandarin> do a change


make a small change to my appearance okay just cut hair lah I mean it's the best way you can change how you look without going for anything uh like a surgery or that is too major


after <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> COVID lift ban ah, COVID lift ban ah


bad memories , then that time <mandarin>我们去:wo men qu</mandarin> during winter season mah <mandarin>所以很冷:suo yi hen leng</mandarin> every day, uh, the sunlight ah


!huh!


so like they always close shop very early and like you know agents we like to shop, and agents like <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> night life lah I feel I don't know what the #ang moh# why so into it lah but


it's really <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> like a ghost town especially at night, like you want to find food and eat oh everything's so expensive and then almost every shop is closed, even like those fast food restaurants <mandarin>他们也关很早:ta men ye guan hen zao</mandarin> you know, so I think I want go europe lah maybe I go during summers so it won't be so bad


you know it was like, too cold right, and dry until when <mandarin>我拿我的:wo na wo de</mandarin> glove <mandarin>下来:xia lai</mandarin> to <mandarin>吃东西:chi dong xi</mandarin> right <mandarin>我一拿我的:wo yi na wo de</mandarin> glove <mandarin>下来:xia lai</mandarin> hor and my my skin like <mandarin>我把我的:wo ba wo de</mandarin> hand bend <mandarin>一下:yi xia</mandarin> hor


everything broke so I was bleeding at my knuckles, it just to eat a hotdog cause <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> grab <mandarin>那个你穿那个:na ge ni chuan na ge</mandarin> glove <mandarin>吃:chi</mandarin> right, I I'm not going to wash my gloves mah so


bless me, (ppc), ya then <mandarin>没有时间等那个东西干掉:mei you shi jian deng na ge dong xi gan diao</mandarin> so the way I did it was like


ya everytime you want to eat right or possibly dirty your hands you just take out your glove lor #bo bian# and sometimes like that time, the gloves I bought right is really, to keep me warm so it's very thick and is insulated <mandarin>我没有穿那种:wo mei you chuan na zhong</mandarin> gloves with


take off my glove to take picture <mandarin>然后很容易手会:ran hou hen rong yi shou hui</mandarin> like, bleeding very dry then my entire skin also very dry but anyway ya <mandarin>我想去:wo xiang qu</mandarin> europe lor <mandarin>重新看:chong xin kan</mandarin> some of the locations


uh, !huh! she got relatives in taiwan one leh so, if you if you go before then good luck lor, but that time <mandarin>我们去:wo men qu</mandarin> taiwan right, !wah! <mandarin>我真的:wo zhen de</mandarin> everyday <mandarin>喝:he</mandarin> bubble tea leh every I really freaking miss


bubble tea,


cannot remember eh


but that time it's too expensive already like one portion paid eight dollars, !aiya!, there's this place at Bugis there right the


so I only go when I have the promotion if I don't have the promotion I won't eat there usually is like promotion can go from fifty percent off


so recently <mandarin>我很:wo hen</mandarin> crave right but, because I cannot get the promotion I didn't go, ya, uh


carbonara from kara, eh <mandarin>我也是有:wo ye shi you</mandarin> burpple hor we can also go and eat, !huh! really ah


oh so you start at what time


oh oh !wow!, eh


I really cannot stand cafe work eh <mandarin>站这样久:zhan zhe yang jiu</mandarin> and then some of the customers are really super super


entitled, the area that I was working at right it's <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> Atas <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> landed area so the people that they were serving hor like you know lah they are a bit, , doing better financially


#ang mo# right I was trying to serve her so she came in she was looking at all the pastry, then <mandarin>我在想:wo zai xiang</mandarin> oh, I don't know how the #ang mo# want us to serve them some of them want us to say like hi good morning then some of us like


like we we are trying lah so we'll say like hi good morning uh may I know, what would you like you know <mandarin>他做什么:ta zuo shen me</mandarin> mah


more time, to look at all the pastries like I understand lah but, you know I'm just trying to serve you so you don't have to be so rude about it that's how rude lor <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> just like


the idea is that, you know, these days ah <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> service staff ah, don't allow people to wait, and take a look at the items before they make a decision


but don't complain lah like a lot of people will complain say like, that that I think that period lah <mandarin>很多人喜欢:hen duo ren xi huan</mandarin> complain that service staff <mandarin>喜欢用:xi huan yong</mandarin> phone using their phone during their shift work that kind of thing


if I do also get scolded don't do also get scolded then I cannot really stand the cafe work lor, then <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> pay <mandarin>很少欸我的:hen shao ei wo de</mandarin> pay <mandarin>好像才:hao xiang cai</mandarin> six dollars an hour and you know it was all the way at #tan kah kee#


that time before downtown line was built right, it's so far then I still have to take bus there then the bus right was like <mandarin>差不多有:cha bu duo you</mandarin> forty, forty minutes to fifty minutes I also don't know lah at first I thought like oh cafe work would be fun like something that I haven't really done yet since all along <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> part time job right I always work those office ah or admin jobs because like okay I want to try uh cafe job so what I did was I just went online found a few cafes I'm interested in


like I think like maybe quite far or look quite nice quite aesthetic right then, I was like okay so I'm just send in like


and then I sent I sent in to them so I went for interview the manager already actually warned me <mandarin>他讲:ta jiang</mandarin> cafe work actually very tough ah bla bla <mandarin>我在想:wo zai xiang</mandarin> how tough can it get !aiya! so she warned me that the cafe work will be tough bla bla bla then


I had too high hopes leh <mandarin>我就觉得你在那边做工你可以吃:wo jiu jue de ni zai na bian zuo gong ni ke yi chi</mandarin> cafe food leh <mandarin>好笑:hao xiao</mandarin> sia, actually you go there right is kitchen cooking for you, and then you just like maybe if you do closing the leftover pastries right you can take that home that's the only nice thing I guess


but kitchen <mandarin>不会煮东西给你吃的:bu hui zhu dong xi gei ni chi de</mandarin> lah then that time hor, other than cafe work <mandarin>我没有做过:wo mei you zuo guo</mandarin> retail but I have done quite a lot of event, I feel like event job quite fun especially since the commitment level is very low


worry that <mandarin>你还要一直去:ni hai yao yi zhi qu</mandarin> report and report and report every single day I think one of the thing that makes me the most, nervous right about a job is waking up, like


serve <mandarin>水:shui</mandarin> lah then <mandarin>去做:qu zuo</mandarin> usher the event job


oh especially <mandarin>他们的那个:ta men de na ge</mandarin> salary rates based on how often you work one right, fifteen to twenty CM leh


think the twenty CM <mandarin>是一个:shi yi ge</mandarin> ruler leh, but, you


you must maintain the same volume, ya you must try and maintain the same volume, so when you are working right you try and like make sure that oh the measurements that they they have right


make sense, but <mandarin>你每次也是这样他每次:ni mei ci ye shi zhe yang ta mei ci</mandarin> like


then TCL <mandarin>会不会有很多人来:hui bu hui you hen duo ren lai</mandarin> return clothes lah


no wonder, no wonder lah


imagine <mandarin>很多人:hen duo ren</mandarin> turn up right then they keep trying to return their clothes, which


for editors eh sorry for a closet lover or


eh then, eh I ask you ah, if you can have one food ah for the rest of your life what would you want


if it's prata leh, what is mine ah I felt like <mandarin>我有找过:wo you zhao guo</mandarin> what is that food that I would wanna eat for the rest of my life but


that time I think I believe it was chicken rice for me lor


but ah ya, the things that, I guess there's also bad chicken rice like <mandarin>不好吃的:bu hao chi de</mandarin> chicken rice


like don't feel very fresh, ya


ya but also because they are both not interested in the chicken rice


!aiya!, !wah! but I guess I can also eat mexican food everyday for the rest of my life like, guacamole and chips !wow!


nachos yes, !wah!, like I really like the sour cream and onion right but when I eat, like one packet by myself <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> large pack right !wah! #sibei jelak# leh <mandarin>有时候:you shi hou</mandarin> hor


like <mandarin>吃吃吃吃吃吃吃吃到:chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi dao</mandarin> like gonna be the last few chips <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> right you'll be like oh my god going to end already, however once I finish right, and then I sit there I really can survive


maybe, two meals with just that bag of chips then that's when I know like oh I ate so much <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> unhealthy calories for this


but it's not a chinese brand right, !aiya! <mandarin>他们只是要故意:ta men zhi shi yao gu yi</mandarin> you know, appeal to the chinese


ya since you like your, prata and curry so much


ya so maybe mine is chicken rice maybe I will also not mind eating salmon everyday maybe <mandarin>我在想的是:wo zai xiang de shi</mandarin> salmon lah like raw salmon, like salmon sushi, probably can eat everyday


!aiya! I also don't know if is real like not say the bacteria or the world lah but


if wasabi killing gems is real or not, if is real Arbo we just use the wasabi to, disinfect our hands


medical proof I guess I scientific scientific proof, about this, oh sense of security


eh then <mandarin>你会不会想去:ni hui bu hui xiang qu</mandarin> staycation <mandarin>我最近屁股很痒:wo zui jin pi gu hen yang</mandarin> leh <mandarin>很想去:hen xiang qu</mandarin> you know like, just go and stay hotel act like I'm on vacation and then just, you know relax myself a bit and <mandarin>顺便:shun bian</mandarin> you can boost singapore's economy

MBS ah, maybe, then stay on the highest floor


uh if you want to go up you can only, eh there's a restriction, if you want to go up <mandarin>你只可以上去:ni zhi ke yi shang qu</mandarin> for one hour eh one hour at a time and that is for a day so if you stay there for like one night right you get to go up for one hour and you also have to make appointment


oh <mandarin>是啊:shi a</mandarin> oh ya ya ya I mean like that's the norm lah because every room can only have, two people visiting the infinity pool at at a time


my friend just told me that the staff rate has increased


go through already lor maybe I go somewhere else like another hotel cause, G G jay and I want to go for a staycation next week, it's more expensive


ya, studio M <mandarin>还是什么:hai shi shen me</mandarin> oh ya studio M is near <mandarin>一个很好吃的:yi ge hen hao chi de</mandarin> restaurant <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> italian restaurant


carbonara


then like <mandarin>麻辣:ma la</mandarin> will be a good thing


more of like the <mandarin>辣刺激:la ci ji</mandarin> your skin lah, is it like the spices right they <mandarin>刺激:ci ji</mandarin> your skin to create a lot more like, or maybe your metabolism is higher because of the <mandarin>麻辣:ma la</mandarin> so they produce more of whatever


they want to produce lah like uh oil or your whatever then clog in the pores, eh <mandarin>我最近长很多:wo zui jin zhang hen duo</mandarin> pimples leh help


what's what's the issue


ya but anyway the back pimple is like I think, is increased a lot right but better than, when I was younger


I really let go of myself because of work


!aiya! the thing is that last time when <mandarin>我每天放:wo mei tian fang</mandarin> makeup right then <mandarin>妈也是喜欢:ma ye shi xi huan</mandarin> complain <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> like, !wah! <mandarin>我一直放:wo yi zhi fang</mandarin> makeup no wonder my skin is so bad blah blah blah or like


so I hope she can see that the problem is not about makeup understand

I like <mandarin>这样就好像那种:zhe yang jiu hao xiang na zhong</mandarin> love bonito <mandarin>的女孩子:de nv hai zi</mandarin> leh so, love bonito <mandarin>的人也是这样:de ren ye shi zhe yang</mandarin> mah they are supposed to style you in a way, so rather than calling ourselves like retail staff right ya actually calling yourself like what


oh from where


you close, eh <mandarin>我去:wo qu</mandarin> giant <mandarin>买给你:mai gei ni</mandarin> ah


then like, I can also add some side dishes at the side cook some soup for you


Kimchi lasagne so weird, but like actually you know overseas when we eat lasagna is like I think it's supposed to be beef inside, ya you dare to eat beef meh, why ah


(hmm), cause got this like bloody bloody taste right


because last night, you just think like


if you tried before, ya have keven <mandarin>每次每次吃这种东西的:mei ci mei ci chi zhe zhong dong xi de</mandarin> then after that I'll have to like, ya have keven <mandarin>每次每次吃这种东西的:mei ci mei ci chi zhe zhong dong xi de</mandarin> then after that I have to like


eat with him cause he says it's very nice


if <mandarin>我要学:wo yao xue</mandarin> new skills ah <mandarin>我会想要:wo hui xiang yao</mandarin> like (hmm), maybe <mandarin>学会:xue hui</mandarin> how to do photoshop like you know do illustration or design oh I wouldn't mind learning how to do the watercolour painting or drawing <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> like it's


quite fun I guess you get to be creative and you also like can use that to earn money


but you also need to go outside to buy things what, which doesn't mean you need which doesn't mean you can depend on yourself


oh but like


but like it's not something that you will normally expect from a guy I guess, it's like a plus point if he can cook but


you wouldn't say that's the one thing that you expect, like like I think maybe you would expect the guy to do some of the chores like you know <mandarin>换灯炮:huan deng pao</mandarin> okay when the sink is spoilt go and like unclog the sink unclog the toilet unclog like wash ah or you know do the heavier chores


so you want to cook for other people lah


ya ABC studio lah you can learn how to cook how to bake


so it's a dish that you can make right it's called like I think hamburg ah, you know <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> japanese <mandarin>他们喜欢吃那个:ta men xi huan chi na ge</mandarin> hamburg stick, so it's like a, minced meat patty then <mandarin>他们跟你这样:ta men gen ni zhe yang</mandarin> <mandarin>你把那个:ni ba na ge</mandarin> patty right throw among between your palms then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> throw <mandarin>来:lai</mandarin> throw <mandarin>去:qu</mandarin> after that you make into a patty you cook it and then like


comes with rice and there's those like demi glaze sauce, ya and then you have to teach you how to make uh onion soup ah, so you get like one dish lah kind of like one meal, normally ABC right when you have cooking lesson, when they ask you to make a meal


it will have, uh main course, then then you will have appetisers maybe salad and then you will also have dessert so it's actually quite worth when you go there for lesson, it's just like, the thing that, thing is that their lessons are very expensive lah so <mandarin>我没有:wo mei you</mandarin> sign up after <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> student plan


and like they portion properly and, you know like you don't need to do the wash up as well, like <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> just use as many cutlery or whatever as you want right while you're cooking, and the counter is so clear <mandarin>我们家的:wo men jia de</mandarin> counter <mandarin>都没有什么:dou mei you shen me</mandarin> space <mandarin>给我做:gei wo zuo</mandarin> the cooking that I want


plus remember that time I make the souffle pancakes, souffle pancakes <mandarin>出来每次都塌的:chu lai mei ci dou ta de</mandarin> like you it will just fall and have concave like it will concave in eh even though the pan ah when it was in the pan <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> like <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> fluffy then after that I ask my friend it's because my souffle right I take from the pan too quickly so there's a very strong temperature change from inside to outside outside like <mandarin>比较:bi jiao</mandarin> cooling


the thing is that when I was at ABC right the things they always they look so fancy one remember that time <mandarin>我不是做那个:wo bu shi zuo na ge</mandarin> chocolate


then <mandarin>我还去:wo hai qu</mandarin> like, find wine ah <mandarin>倒在那个:dao zai na ge</mandarin> chocolate then <mandarin>最后做出来我在想:zui hou zuo chu lai wo zai xiang</mandarin> oh my god also nobody wanna eat my chocolate and like this chocolate taste so normal, and I <mandarin>好像去买:hao xiang qu mai</mandarin> chocolate melt ah like you know just <mandarin>很多工:hen duo gong</mandarin> for something that looks very normal and then waste money also cause ingredients like have to buy


not say in bulk lah but in packet, so, ya but when you go ABC they already portion everything for you


maple syrup ah, souffle tastes like eh


ya lah like those


!wah! but <mandarin>我还记得:wo hai ji de</mandarin> leh the day that I


!aiya! not like she will know about this


carbonara


oh <mandarin>你吃:ni chi</mandarin> two days in a row ah


the oil spicy one ah, oh


the thing is that, even if we eat out now right, if we buy the ingredients home and cook right, the, prices also similar leh then <mandarin>还要这么多工:hai yao zhe me duo gong</mandarin> still have to wash lah still have to do everything by yourself


when, you can actually just, when you can actually just like, buy outside lor


but sometimes like oh you are freaking hungry then you just go out and buy lor, but you know, oh ya


eh then <mandarin>我问你:wo wen ni</mandarin> if you can just be good at anything right, like you are just naturally good at it or you were always definitely be good at it towards the end, anything you want so like


ya just


okay so you want to be boss lah


entrepreneur, I guess like end of the day if I can, anything I want right and good at it, I would want to be, a princess


ya kick the kingdom, kidding lah <mandarin>我会想要做老师:wo hui xiang yao zuo lao shi</mandarin> leh, to be able to be a good teacher the most important thing is, it's like right now right there's so many things that are at play if you want to be a good teacher


but, ya if I can be effortlessly good at it right, I will still want to be that cause I feel like it's really the job that, has a very big impact on student, and, ya <mandarin>是有一点可惜:shi you yi dian ke xi</mandarin> lor that I I may not be able to


get on that, that career level, and maybe, like maybe, uh <mandarin>做一个:zuo yi ge</mandarin> fashion designer like last time last time it was a dream lah things like this <mandarin>做一个:zuo yi ge</mandarin> fashion designer <mandarin>做那种:zuo na zhong</mandarin> like


, jewellery <mandarin>做:zuo</mandarin> uh, but like maybe now


you just feel like there's so many limitations that you may not be able to do it properly


!aiya! your image is always very important that's what like


uh I think you can say first lah


, earn a lot of money


and then, second wish should be


I was thinking of, sausage dog, ya


beagle


yes I'm very sure, I just find that, they are very cute


where you see them from, oh you know from there's one movie called a dog's journey, a dog's purpose


a movie called a dog's purpose


family and they're like, but then play with there but


and you have to like spend a lot of time, bring them out to walk, you know and like, the food that they eat, it's like also quite a big amount


well <mandarin>我看了我也是:wo kan le wo ye shi</mandarin> leh, then <mandarin>他一直我们的木:ta yi zhi wo men de mu</mandarin> somemore, destroy their, all the furnitures almost all the furnitures


I think because, the wind was blowing


then I think she went to bite it


such a good destroyer


have like cut a new hairstyle right, then then what's your next, hair style that you want to get, after you grow grow your hair


maybe you should eat more, food that is, has nutrients for like hair


what about extension, hair extension


but then you can clip it on when you go out lah, and then like take it off, when you are going to sleep, but that's what uh


IU did also lah, you <mandarin>不懂:bu dong</mandarin> meh


but the urge to say or


which are


I feel eh remember last time you asked me to cut my bangs


and then for after a few weeks right I was like uh, very, I didn't really like it because, it keeps poking my eyes and then like <mandarin>我去学校的时候:wo qu xue xiao de shi hou</mandarin> right


I have to keep, you know, doing my bangs, make sure it doesn't like keep dropping out, falling down, to cover my eyes lor like I ask have to continuously clip it


you know, I think it was around sec two


hairstyle


ya, eh then, I want to ask you right which are the places that you want to be


uh


I want to visit taiwan again, cause, I just love taiwan a lot, and, the vibes that taiwan gives me


but then specifically I want to visit Tainan


and because of that show, uh I I wish to visit the place where they film that show, cause they film in Taipei and Tainan and, Taipei I've been there twice, and and I also want to visit Tainan cause there's a place that I never really <mandarin>去过:qu guo</mandarin> and


vibes of, different part of taiwan, and, uh, and


because of, I really wish to visit Tainan, especially with your friend G G, she got watch <mandarin>想见你:xiang jian ni</mandarin> also


the mother of all KOI


what flavour did you have, mine was the ovaltine


and remember <mandarin>你想吃那个:ni xiang chi na ge</mandarin> beef cubes


oh you are still using ah, ya


since I'm going to Bugis, I want to work part time lor


work part time and then, maybe after that I will go eat lor maybe you can come and find, seven thirty, three thirty


because it's a four hour shift, is there a retail part time job, the pay is, okay okay lah


, and since cause now the COVID situation, not much shift is given to us so have to <mandarin>珍惜:zhen xi</mandarin> each shift and then like, earn more money during this period


and, but the job, cause now, so, but the job the task is still quite


tiring ah <mandarin>很累:hen lei</mandarin> lor, the clothes right, uh fitting room


for those customers, then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> leh <mandarin>你做过什么:ni zuo guo shen me</mandarin> part time job mah


a month


you know


well that's ya


like


but events jobs <mandarin>不会很:bu hui hen</mandarin> rush meh, like the schedule all those


find, , different jobs that I want to do


and then I just take to one job [bah] for now, ya like based on the hours that you work


your sound voice loud enough


oh


make sense


but recently <mandarin>我也是:wo ye shi</mandarin> ah, but, I think it's better than her, at least <mandarin>我没有一直:wo mei you yi zhi</mandarin> like <mandarin>买一直换一直:mai yi zhi huan yi zhi</mandarin> return


at least, I will still get some of the, items, from the store, at least <mandarin>以前:yi qian</mandarin> is like, she buy like for example five pieces, then she will return all five that kind


at least I'm not at least like if I get five pieces I will still like keep, two to three, and then I only return, the remaining one back to, back to the stores


actually <mandarin>还好因为:hai hao yin wei</mandarin> because for blogshop cause closet lover is blogshop, or they originated from, blogshop lah so, uh the returning policies is, you can only return


via online, and then like install you only have to me or appointment kind of like a appointment like that, to so that the HQ have to approve your returns, and then you only then can come to a store and


of items lor, maximum one


ya but then if like you closet lover, uh if you return online right you have to pay your own postage also which


I think it was two fifty, for closer lover


for me ah


I think it will be, #roti prata#, with mozzarella cheese and, curry


it's something that I like, ya with mozzarella vanilla cheese


never heard of it, is it


oh ya, the things that


no it's because H H


and nachos


uh I don't think so


but <mandarin>最近不是有个:zui jin bu shi you ge</mandarin> article about the, raw fish bacteria infection, then must <mandarin>配:pei</mandarin> uh


what is it called Wasabi


you know got that


ya I recently went to a staycation with my mother


to MBS and it was quite fun lor, then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> leh which, place would you want to go for a staycation


and maximum two person right, for that one hour


'cause, is it fullerton, also not a, bad option


the rates


okay maybe can consider that, !wah! actually I don't know maybe I can eat pizza or like spaghetti pasta for the rest of my life, carbonara !aiya! carbonara <mandarin>有点:you dian</mandarin> Jelak leh if you imagine if you eat every single day you will be very Jelak


the, but <mandarin>麻辣:ma la</mandarin> there's


then like your skin will produce a lot of oil also, where did you read that from


(hmm)


maybe lor, oh especially back pimple right


like you let hundred percent of yourself go like your face


maybe you should take, more care of it


!huh! recently she also say leh, <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> face <mandarin>越来越惨:yue lai yue can</mandarin> because <mandarin>以前你一直叫我放:yi qian ni yi zhi jiao wo fang</mandarin> make up <mandarin>还是什么什么:hai shi shen me shen me</mandarin> then <mandarin>他就一直讲一直讲我就跟他讲我没有放了:ta jiu yi zhi jiang yi zhi jiang wo jiu gen ta jiang wo mei you fang le</mandarin> but then she keep saying and saying


saying that my face got all these, like black heads all these pimples because of you tell me, to put make up but then I tell her already recently I never, ever put leh


and like their job is just to promote, then stuff and then, increase the sales


about the clothes that they try


or maybe <mandarin>这件就:zhe jian jiu</mandarin> don't really suits you then maybe can try other colours or other, clothes other items that, maybe <mandarin>比较适合他们的:bi jiao shi he ta men de</mandarin> lor, cause like


we try to give them our honest opinions, and like (hmm), it's good to have, it's good to tell them our honest honest opinion, know what to buy what to get


actually their, like actually we have two jobs sound like that, one is like being the staff and then like, we fashion advisor all those


for lunch, maybe I was thinking of


I don't know eh, , I was thinking of lasagne, I think maybe I'll go, search for it later like where


uh which place sells lasagne cause I saw, uh instagram story yesterday night, and then my actually my boss, was eating lasagne so I was like, oh I have that sudden craving to <mandarin>吃:chi</mandarin> lasagne


because like, it was it looks quite nice and with all the cheese all the, meat, okay


oh ya, why ah, !huh! just, I just <mandarin>不喜欢:bu xi huan</mandarin> it just taste very weird I think


but okay lah now I'm trying to, like try be, slowly lor a step at a time, ya, now <mandarin>我比较敢:wo bi jiao gan</mandarin> try


ya but depends on the, like the medium rare all those, because like, I like to eat medium rare


which uh <mandarin>有那种血的:you na zhong xue de</mandarin> colour, bloody taste, but like there's a weird, bloody taste


but I just cannot take it lah


what would they be


cause like, it's very hard to find a guy who knows how to cook you know and cooks nice food


once I know what I want to eat what I crave, you know I will just like do it myself I get all the ingredients that I know that is needed


lunch <mandarin>给我自己吃:gei wo zi ji chi</mandarin> you know, you know whatsoever <mandarin>你就可以省下一笔钱:ni jiu ke yi sheng xia yi bi qian</mandarin> and then, you know you can just depend on yourself


true but then like, but I still can go out and buy myself, like you know, you know I can just find ingredients at home, and like I just know oh I can use this or


whatsoever food


why not if <mandarin>他会煮:ta hui zhu</mandarin> hor


but <mandarin>我又没有:wo you mei you</mandarin> expect, ya that's why I would like to master


why would I cook for other people, ABC


no what you ask me to go for what uh, cake, session


but <mandarin>我还记得你做那个:wo hai ji de ni zuo na ge</mandarin> souffle <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> it was not bad, is quite nice but it just the looks of it, looks


it's just like pancake ah, looks like pancake only but it tastes, with the maple syrup


!wah! okay lah is quite nice, maybe can try again, you can try again


maybe can ask Suan, since like you know, she work at cafe before


maybe it's just for you


taste different


then like, it just taste very nice different from like what I, cook for myself lah


then <mandarin>我我:wo wo</mandarin> like you know, cause I cause when I went out I wanted to like <mandarin>打包:da bao</mandarin> for myself then like <mandarin>省钱:sheng qian</mandarin> lah they <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> just <mandarin>回来吃酸辣粉:hui lai chi suan la fen</mandarin> lor since there are so many <mandarin>酸辣粉:suan la fen</mandarin> at home


so I just okay lah <mandarin>不要打包省钱:bu yao da bao sheng qian</mandarin> lor since, then but then I think the


the spicy oil or whatsoever, I think <mandarin>放太多了:fang tai duo le</mandarin> then <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> like, the oil was very spicy also, the whole thing was just very spicy, ya cause there's a, normal oil I think in the spicy oil


and then I add the spicy oil I think I added the whole packet


especially the mozzarella cheese stick


and like, like you have to try it yourself to know


the taste of it, and like the cheese they put like <mandarin>不会很:bu hui hen</mandarin> stingy or like not just <mandarin>给你:gei ni</mandarin> like, the whole, how to say ah, the whole block of cheese inside the cheese stick


oh occupation, I think


I think, I think when I was younger


disney theme <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> cafe, ya but then, now that <mandarin>长大:zhang da</mandarin> it's like, the cost of it, is, a bit, too much lah like, you know it's, like <mandarin>以前:yi qian</mandarin> when <mandarin>你小的时候:ni xiao de shi hou</mandarin> you just have this dream


like opening a cafe but now <mandarin>你长大后:ni zhang da hou</mandarin> reality hits you know like, all those you have to get like different kind of


cost that would comes come in lor so, if I want, like without any like, ya then I'll be a


cafe boss, kind of like entrepreneur


are you sure


but we we can still work towards the goal since you know, your english, you know quite fluently so and, I hope maybe you try to strive towards the goal


children story would be maybe you know the primary school will use your story book, or kindergarten, all those


(hmm) true cause you know you are still in singapore


okay, no, because everyday I just go school then I just want to get a cert


ya so like I don't really like do a lot of things but I feel like you will lah as a person like, you will like sought for, like things like you know like volleyball CCAs and things like that, like you will go and explore, about life


for myself it's just like studies and food studies and food I love exploring food instead of like activities


(hmm), ya I think that's you, and I feel like <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> like <mandarin>很不一样:hen bu yi yang</mandarin> right ya lor


err one thing only, there's a lot of things I can't live without


at least I have my phone or like emergency like this I have my phone, what about you


it's a thing eh, I know what's yours charger , no meh


but I think you need both leh, okay


what inspires me the most, feel like , maybe you want to say first


(uh huh), who tricia (uh huh)


motivate motivational


even after you finish for example you will be three now then you just finish your attitude then immediately after your essay to write like maybe like one week break then after that okay start enforcing civil somebody got that one like my secondary school places like ya ya so it's like, oh my god that one like my secondary school place leh


ya [loh] ya [loh]


!hannor! !hannor!, ya


ya lor ya lor, for myself right like I I just don't want to live in poverty [loh] like when I see those television and stuff like that I see like


like the way they have to like keep up with expenses and all right like <mandarin>很辛苦:hen xin ku</mandarin> then <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> like, then I feel like, it's very tiring and I don't want to live that kind of life like


ya but it may be accurate in our singapore context lah


ya but then it kind of like inspires me to like like, you know to do better to live like a comfortable life lah, ya


okay then, err what is more important what you say or how you say it, what is more which is more important what you say or how you say it


not I say first okay <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> how you say cause I'm someone who is very blunt lah to be honest, right, I think you already know, like <mandarin>你说的东西:ni shuo de dong xi</mandarin> right <mandarin>可能可能:ke neng ke neng</mandarin> like you don't intend to like said that way but then like maybe the way you put it I think like you told me a lot of times also leh


ya then I think like the way you say will like affect someone else's reaction or emotion so, I think that is more important than what you say, but it kind of like correlates lah


, so you also agree with with <mandarin>我讲的:wo jiang de</mandarin> answer


, but <mandarin>有时候还是要注意一下:you shi hou hai shi yao zhu yi yi xia</mandarin> [loh] <mandarin>可能会:ke neng hui</mandarin> like <mandarin>伤了他们的心:shang le ta men de xin</mandarin> [loh] like their feelings right


okay then err do you believe in heaven and hell, , no why why


(uh huh), then what do you think will happen when we die, like what rebirth ah <mandarin>重生:zhong sheng</mandarin> ah, , ya


, ya very far lah for our age [loh]


, okay lah <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> <mandarin>选:xuan</mandarin> question, how do I recharge okay , not exactly leh, like <mandarin>我是很内向的人:wo shi hen nei xiang de ren</mandarin> like very introverted so like


I think like to recharge I'll prefer time for myself, like usually I will just go home lah like after school to recharge myself and then like do some work so like recharge of just watch some dramas probably take a nap like an hour or two, like this [loh]


then like err but if you are talking about like weekly or bi-monthly or monthly recharged right I would say retail therapy lor like I would like to go to like stores, like, at the town area like <mandarin>乌节路还是:wu jie lu hai shi</mandarin> like


like at somerset, and something that will like, make me relax lor, ya <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> leh


ya minor right, it's not spending money it's seeing clothes , okay then that that is to see your temptation see whether are you easily tempted or not


, but I find I find it's fine eh


oh ya, (uh huh)


but it's actually therapeutic right


oh


okay


me okay, okay [loh] I just pick love question do you believe in true love


okay lah, but I think different people like <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> different, perception of true love, someone else put me first before them


and ya lah like I'm a priority, before themselves lor and then I feel like that's what true love is [loh] but also it comes with like different, different like types of love also so I think that plays a part


but <mandarin>我还是很小:wo hai shi hen xiao</mandarin> so that like I cannot define


something like that, [loh]


but don't you think that's like true love, because like because you ya [loh] ya different definition


oh okay but back to the question of whether I believe in true love right


but what what do you think, what do you think leh like do you think, like do you believe in true love or not, but <mandarin>你觉得会:ni jue de hui</mandarin> like <mandarin>永久吗:yong jiu ma</mandarin> like for life one eh


but but that <mandarin>终老:zhong lao</mandarin> is companionship what, but love is of feeling and err decision what no meh


but isn't that a decision not a feeling what, maybe we took


ya, okay you choose the next question, what is something that offend me


that's quite broad leh, do you want to specify, , what offends me okay lor like err


or like err if you are talking about offend I would say that lor but if you talking about like, to the lesser side like lesser tone right err I will say like, like you know the train on a library or anywhere outside lah like when people talk very loudly lor


right I feel like it's very like uncivilized leh, right ya and I have a story to it eh, like recently I saw I encountered something leh you know like I was at this cafe lah is at paul's I think I told you before


it was so noisy eh, ya then I'm like !huh! like all these Atas people are so uncivilized like so unexpected I thought they were like very quiet, you know like <mandarin>做自己的东西:zuo zi ji de dong xi</mandarin> but no leh


do you have any experience like that, ya like I pay so much I just want to eat quietly


it's not someone leh every table right is talking so loudly leh !walao! eh, then cannot Tahan you know or not, (uh huh)


oh, ya then from the side of your eye right damn annoying leh


ya like oh my god


how distracting sia, ya I actually got a lot of experience also during exam like right err <mandarin>有一个女生:you yi ge nv sheng</mandarin> right <mandarin>有几个女生:you ji ge nv sheng</mandarin> ah <mandarin>他们一直:ta men yi zhi</mandarin> flip <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> paper like open book exam right ya <mandarin>他们一下子:ta men yi xia zi</mandarin> no flip <mandarin>是不用紧你懂他们:shi bu yong jin ni dong ta men</mandarin> flip <mandarin>是怎样:shi zen yang</mandarin> mah


like flip flip flip flip damn loud eh walau eh you think what then like damn noisy I cannot I read my question I have to read five times and I still don't cannot understand


ya, you !hais! what very annoying sia, ya then got one more one more #tak bol~# <mandarin>就是那些:jiu shi nei xie</mandarin> like <mandarin>会一直打喷嚏还是那些一直咳嗽:hui yi zhi da pen ti hai shi nei xie yi zhi ke sou</mandarin> then <mandarin>很大声的:hen da sheng de</mandarin> continuously <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> then <mandarin>懂有一次:dong you yi ci</mandarin> right was so angry right then <mandarin>我去跟那个:wo qu gen na ge</mandarin> invigilator <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> eh ya then after that the invigilator go and tell the guy


ya cause like continuously eh is damn loud right beside me you know or not, ya if like softly okay lah but if like very loud eh ya but if like no but what if like cough very loud type


you know like some people no lah some people like that what but some people


ya if you can tell it's not like purposely then okay lah, like but those like like those those inconsiderate one eh, no meh


(uh huh), ah


oh oh <mandarin>他们问:ta men wen</mandarin> after exam lah


okay my next question is right okay like you know like singapore like how to say ah, like singapore is like very well known to be the most beautiful the most successful one of the most successful countries in the whole wide world <mandarin>对不对可是:dui bu dui ke shi</mandarin> what is one thing


that you are most agree about our country, let's talk about a controversial site, okay then I say first lor because like okay actually it came with no not education okay cause uh


err this question I can answer for <mandarin>是因为:shi yin wei</mandarin> like recently I took Grab home ah then after that, like this taxi driver was telling me about like err work and stuff like in the work life although like <mandarin>我还没有:wo hai mei you</mandarin> work lah <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> like <mandarin>我可以:wo ke yi</mandarin> relate <mandarin>因为我有做:yin wei wo you zuo</mandarin> intern mah recently


so like okay the thing I'm angry about right about our country is that, singapore the singapore government brings brought in a lot of foreign talent like I don't blame them if they bring in foreign talent is good for our country right because okay if you think about the higher end right will get to have like a better country but if you think about the lower side right like


better country like err if they got the talent then they got knowledge then they can like build singapore into a better home what right but then if you are talking about those like <mandarin>比较低级的职位:bi jiao di ji de zhi wei</mandarin> right like <mandarin>那些扫地还是那些:nei xie sao di hai shi nei xie</mandarin> construction workers right then

ya next time we can go and see, okay let's end


okay let's start, the first one, are you living a meaningful life, you know, why


, oh okay, okay okay, for me, totally cannot relate, cause


how to say ah, I like to do a lot of things lor that makes me very busy if not I feel like


kind of thing, so like, when I do something I feel like maybe I will achieve something out of it [loh] ya


okay, okay what is one thing you can't live without,


oh, okay, I think


, I mean like some people would say like family right but, can I know what's your charger oh okay okay ya ya ya, , oh okay okay ya ya ya


ya, then, okay, okay next one, wait ah, what inspires you the most


ya, I don't have something as of now right I don't have something that really like like really, err


that really like, inspire me to like, the wild kind of, extend, but, I have certain things that inspires me slightly in life because, I mean I grew up not being smart right so


I thought I was stupid, ya I thought I was stupid so like I, ya but I thought I was dumb I I thought I was gonna like be in the vicious cycle of like being the like


the ones that like struggling to like stay afloat in terms of academics and stuff lor, but then, the only when I started going up I met this tutor that I think you also know who lah, err no err teacher yvonne like


she's like very like she's very like, what what's the word for it motivated and like she's like, ya she's just very ya very <mandarin>积极:ji ji</mandarin> lor like, oh how to say leh


I can say like, even after you finish for example you are P three now then you just finish your SA two then immediately after your SA two right like maybe a one week break then after that okay start primary four syllabus, ya so it's like ya ya so it's like


it forces me to like, practice a lot [loh] then because at that point of time primary school you don't really know like [orh] what's what's correct like what what you should do you just know that like, you just want to play lah then after that I just I just do what I was told lah but then out of all of a sudden right all my primary school life seems I was like primary one primary two primary three right it's like


my results are just like fifty sixties, but like suddenly I got seventy leh suddenly I suddenly I got seventies leh then I promoted to a better class in P five so like, I was like <mandarin>吓到:xia dao</mandarin> lor then I was like eh actually if I work hard, so it really taught me something lah since young so like when I went to secondary school and all that I started really really studying very hard and I know that


okay I may be I may be slower than people I may I may not be as smart as people I mean I don't, I may need to put in a lot of effort but, at the end of the day if I like try to work hard, then, I will always get there and I will always get to


be on par lah although not with the like tops of the top lah cream of the crops lah but then at least I'll be like of a certain standard lah so that's what I really learn from it lah, you can make changes lah ya


so that's something that is like hit me quite hard as I grew up but not to the wild extend and I believe like, there's more to it [loh], ya


but I feel like, TV is not a very like, accurate, I still don't feel it's accurate in that sense you can relate but you don't really have to like use it as a life perspective


okay okay


okay you choose it, say again


okay


, ya I I can I can for example like, eh <mandarin>你的你的张很丑:ni de ni de zhang hen chou</mandarin> eh


, that's a new style maybe you want to try experimenting others, ya so, that's how you say and how you, you know, in a better way lah ya ya ya


but <mandarin>当然如果那个人是你:dang ran ru guo na ge ren shi ni</mandarin> like


no, no even when I was, even when I was err, frequent, a church goer


whenever they bring this topic ah, I find it very ridiculous, I don't know [loh] the only way is when you die [loh], right


so, out of the way [loh] anyway, I don't know eh I just feel like when you die you also won't have feelings anymore , I don't know hardly anybody feel that way right but I think like when you die


you just like won't feel anything anymore lor then you won't know what's going on anymore you won't remember anything anymore so what's the point of thinking what's gonna happen then when you don't even know what will happen then, ya so I also


to like really talk about it ya ya lah


okay know, how do you recharge, I know you sleep


(mmhmm)


okay, okay


, I wouldn't say shopping is a very big part maybe <mandarin>一点点:yi dian dian</mandarin> lah but <mandarin>不是很多不是很多:bu shi hen duo bu shi hen duo</mandarin> I I don't see joy in spending money ah


ya but then you see already <mandarin>你会想买:ni hui xiang mai</mandarin> mah


when you could have just like avoided it you know, I mean it's fine lah like once in a while, no I feel like it's a waste of money I would like okay I like I I wouldn't say I don't enjoy doing it I'm like okay you doing it lah but just not so often [loh] if not like my pocket already one big hole you know ya


I would say like spending time with friends spending time with family, running volleyball, working also because I feel that working you can learn a lot of thing, , baking cooking


ya just quite a lot a lot ya, that's how I recharge, oh, I also have one more new thing actually right some people feel like cleaning is a very like tiring thing right ya suddenly I used to feel like very lazy to do it but then


it's like, nowadays right, it's also because like


so ever since then, mop my whole room, ah <mandarin>我会我会:wo hui wo hui</mandarin> mop <mandarin>我的整个房间:wo de zheng ge fang jian</mandarin> leh then <mandarin>我会来用:wo hui lai yong</mandarin> wet tissue <mandarin>来抹来抹去抹来抹去:lai mo lai mo qu mo lai mo qu</mandarin> which is something that I never ever do it eh like last time


but nowadays I do it but exam exam period like when I very busy lah okay lah no choice lah ya but, you know everytime after exam period I'm like I really like to clean, I like to clean like things in my room and stuff I find it like last time is a burden to me but now I find it like actually


also a form of stress reliever when you see like !wah! so neat you know, ya, okay next one


you choose, , , can you define it


I find is too like broad eh this question, (mmhmm)


oh


okay for me I don't really like I don't really expect the person to put, to put, me before them, cause, I know I won't be able to do it for the person


because, that's why I say different people define it differently you know so for me is like I don't expect it because I know, I mean maybe I'll be able to tweak one day but as of now right when I'm still young


I want to focus more on myself, ya so, like for example I have boyfriend then <mandarin>你叫我:ni jiao wo</mandarin> like <mandarin>每天:mei tian</mandarin> like it's just all about him <mandarin>每天要:mei tian yao</mandarin> like, put him first I feel like it's a very like


very like burdensome burdensome thing lah like very burden eh, like I'm still young I want to work on myself and then when I'm like of a good foundation right and of a suitable personality then I would want to


be there lah, to be able to do that lah, ya so I feel, as of now not really cannot, cannot relate to it doesn't mean that to me now lah ya so


(mmhmm), I do, but not something, I would see of, paramount importance right now [loh], ya <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> [loh]


ya definitely,


ya but then in order, for that decision to last you will stay till old what, right, you can just like shake out of it if you didn't want it if you don't love the person


oh okay, , what is something that offend you


ya, , anything lah like


, that's the same for me, for that ya


okay I remember already, ya okay, ya


not really but I can imagine myself being very peace if it happens to me because ya you pay service charge and everything for the ambience and the place then after that someone just disrupts it conveniently oh okay okay okay


, for me right one thing right is like, during my exam right you know those people, ya then it's like you try to ignore right but <mandarin>你不可以:ni bu ke yi</mandarin> leh


and then like


ya ya ya then you know those kind of people that is like, !hais! !hais! then after that ya I mean like you don't know how to do but then like doesn't mean you !hais! then <mandarin>你就会做:ni jiu hui zuo</mandarin> right very annoying like you are disrupting the people beside you ya


then I was like !aiyo! !walao! eh #pek chek# eh okay lah ha


oh oh today today our this guy he keep like , but !aiya! never mind lah I mean it happens lah no leh I think it's like cannot help it this kind of things like you can control when you cough meh no right


you cannot control it you cannot control it sometime is like you feel itchy you cannot I mean deliberately, deliberately then, okay you can blame the person lah but then as from my point of view right I know like sometimes maybe I cough right I cannot help it it's very itchy


most of the time who want to cough so loud during the exam the person also want to focus one lah no lah, I mean like I think okay lah cause got one time I sick right then I cough, I keep coughing in the class okay that was before the whole <mandarin>武汉:wu han</mandarin> thing lah


so like okay <mandarin>武汉:wu han</mandarin> seems very racist ah COVID nineteen thing ya before the whole COVID nineteen thing right I was, then like after that I went back to school for exam I was sick and I missed one of the MSD, then I went back to school for exam


I couldn't help it lah then I I cough eh then after that my friends after the exam right then they will like eh someone keep coughing or something right they were like maybe why you keep coughing then I said oh I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it I was sick then my throat very itchy ya then I was then they were like !aiya! it's okay it happens ya so it's it's fine


ya , (mmhmm)


, !wah!, okay you start first I I need to think eh this one okay you say first I think you will say something about education okay okay okay say


okay


define your better country


it's actually forty percent right


(mmhmm) okay


cheap labour lah, okay


okay, I, suddenly feel that way


but I feel that, I do feel that way lah but I have a point to add lah which is like at least singaporeans still have their own singaporeans benefit, if, you know, like we still have our own benefits what


like okay I I don't really know the work side lah but I know education site, you know PR need to pay more than, citizen, so like they being here right they already paid the price for it, I mean I do agree for the work


part lah cannot help it lah but from the education side right for the work part I cannot really comment on it but I understand where you're coming from and stuff like that lah, but from the education point of view right I feel that is, fair


it's fair because, okay they are here right they are not here for free leh, right ya they're not here for free in fact they pay more than us eh then we still have our own benefits what so is still like okay okay


they cannot get it, they cannot, PR cannot cannot cannot cannot no as in your, school awards can lah Edusave awards cannot


Edusave awards, I'm talking about Edusave awards cannot cause this girl in my class right I was asking her eh you gotta get or not, cannot get, she PR leh, cannot get, ya so


secretly happy ya cause like she very smart she very smart she like I think she was second in class ah then I was right after her then I was like very competitive then I ask her eh you gotta get or not then she said oh she cannot get so the money you get she supposedly she if she's a singapore citizen right she should have gotten the five hundred dollars for scholarship


but then she didn't, ya, so obviously obviously having this girl in my class right I was like very I feel very competitive also so I know what you guys coming from but, from the education point of view they already have paid the price of staying here, they are they don't have proper housing they cannot buy what they cannot buy proper housing what cause they not seen citizen they only can rent the place


the place they are living is not, very secured lah in a sense that it's not your real house and then also like, although <mandarin>你你很:ni ni hen</mandarin> smart but then at the end of day you cannot get the scholarship


but you still can work your way up lor anyway she went to NY lah, NYJC so, ya I'll I feel very competitive next to her so she never like


ya I guess so I also know eh you know NUS, then there's another like sub college called NUS Yale NUS, I tell you man the school is more Atas than NUS, ya


I I go there play volleyball I go there okay fine fat you can actually walk from SP to NUS Yale Yale NUS, ya then from Yale NUS you can go to that Utown which is the actual NUS, ya so it's just a sub college lah Yale NUS and it's damn Atas compared to NUS


I think all the heads right the school heads are actually <mandarin>外国人所以他们很有钱:wai guo ren suo yi ta men hen you qian</mandarin> then <mandarin>我听说:wo ting shuo</mandarin> right <mandarin>有一个:you yi ge</mandarin> I don't if I tell you this before <mandarin>有一个学生:you yi ge xue sheng</mandarin> right, that


the school floor is very slippery, the school change the whole floor for him, the whole ya in the sports hall they changed, all the wooden, thingies ya so like they always say like <mandarin>学生是那个:xue sheng shi na ge</mandarin> boss <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> Yale NUS ya ya they changed her floor


ya, ya, ya cause, , I heard need to get in by interview then all those that got in right is like all those JC people [loh] like, RV


RV I don't know


you know their freaking toilet is aircon or not, ya lah then sometimes ah you shit then you sit in aircon !wah! damn Shiok eh ya then the the soap dispenser is automatic one then why the school library was Sibeh Atas sia

but if you go uni you see their grass right !wah! is like perfect man it's like so nicely cut or don't even know who's the perfectionist that cut it right, and then it's like light green dark green light green dark green very beautiful one


you can walk in a school compound but then you never walk in a school compound but then if you want to use their sports hall right you need their student to tap card, ya but I library <mandarin>好像要:hao xiang yao</mandarin> tap


ah no I rather no what if <mandarin>你急:ni ji</mandarin> eh right ya then !aiya! just quite ah not bad [loh] ya ya ya not bad not bad


ya eh they very rich one, ya of course lah <mandarin>你以为什么:ni yi wei shen me</mandarin> , ya ya ya okay
