#jurong east# ah, yeah I mean if it's at #jurong east# is not so bad because is nearby the both of us


yeah what kind of route should I take CTE, BKE, and then after that go to PIE PIE lah then you as you #toa payoh# or the avenues the PIE exit to #toa payoh# at Yishun


hello Yishun don't have uh PIE, then #yio chu kang# that side will go down to PIE and then I will go to #toa payoh#


[orh] okay okay, I don't know because I seldom go #toa payoh# from Yishun if you tell me how to go home from Yishun to my house, which is like <mandarin>裕廊东:yu lang dong </mandarin> I probably know more, ya because I will just probably take the


ah ghost street oh Mandai Mandai road and then after that <mandarin>上:shang </mandarin> PIE, ya from Mandai


you go PIE Tuas is nearer to Jurong west side mah, I will think about whether or not it's , something that I


want to do it, for you or not, but if I were to do that what in for me, sorry it's called subsidying not buying you just taught me


so are you giving me subsidy for my car if I were to pick you, cool, oh talking about car what kind of what kind of cars do you like


!huh! GTR, oh the big backside car


compared the Ferrari GTR still behind, we are talking about what kind of cars you like we're not talking about practical cars than you ever own in your life


no I'm talking about impractical cars that you ever dream to have, [orh] okay can can


okay, so GTR ya they have a very their backside pretty big lah and the two nice red round lights and at the back


yeah I know GTR is actually pretty fast is one of my dream cars, well my favourite car is still the BMW Z four, although the the front is actually a bit long and the backside is actually very short, uh


no, people will have a tough time like estimating especially if you do parallel parking, but because your front is long


okay fine


okay, but then the thing is parking is, but if you go to places like lets say Geylang, for a nice suddenly your friend want to Jio you go Geylang <mandarin>吃点心吃:chi dian xin chi </mandarin> supper then <mandarin>你可以不要去:ni ke yi bu yao qu </mandarin> meh


then <mandarin>如果你想去那边吃:ru guo ni xiang qu na bian chi </mandarin> eh


ah speaking of which since your office is in Geylang for very long time


yeah


I like the, I like the


it's very nice <mandarin>他们的:ta men de </mandarin> #chee cheong fun# very specially leh, !ee!, ya exactly you give me the same reaction what, it's so nice eh the last time we went <mandarin>你有吃:ni you chi </mandarin> okay <mandarin>为什么你这现在这边:wei shen me ni zhe xian zai zhe bian </mandarin> Hiam


so maybe it's time to revisit, no


oh, is a very good idea <mandarin>好主意啊我们可以去那边先吃顿饭然后再去:hao zhu yi a wo men ke yi qu na bian xian chi dun fan ran hou zai qu </mandarin> east coast park <mandarin>慢慢走路然后去你的:man man zou lu ran hou qu ni de </mandarin> bars


the prices their number one is not cheap and number two


different, is like <mandarin>再吃那个:zai chi na ge </mandarin> cream


yes, is a cultivate is name of a cultivator what


then <mandarin>你孩子叫:ni hai zi jiao </mandarin> dylan <mandarin>怎么么奇怪为什么不要叫:zen me me qi guai wei shen me bu yao jiao </mandarin> dylan


ya cool, well nowadays <mandarin>很多都人是吃猫山王:hen duo dou ren shi chi mao shan wang </mandarin> what, so <mandarin>没什么分别:mei shen me fen bie </mandarin> lah


it's not to buy durian it's to buy SHC stuff leh


such a


like maybe you can state some example


scarly you <mandarin>你不知道吗现在的女人都是女强人来得:ni bu zhi dao ma xian zai de nv ren dou shi nv qiang ren lai de </mandarin> they just want someone, they don't need you to have a a lot of money

I feel like japan is a very nice country, ah some more like, I feel like japan <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> vibe, is very chill lah, everybody there is also very kind ya all these


very friendly also, ya lor, but then japan very expensive lah, if you go there cough up need like two K, yup

oh ya <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> mount Fuji hor,

I sponsor you, , I'm just a what, I'm just a kid waiting for my his uni,


cannot meh I thought now they


resume already, oh ya that


yup, then you want to take at where, then got the, woodlands, eh since you stay like so close


SDC, I don't know lah I think so <mandarin>是吗:shi ma</mandarin> , , ya woodlands woodlands, ya


where got <mandarin>复杂:fu za</mandarin> I passed from there one leh, #kor kor# can give you all the tips you want, , then you want to take auto or manual


ya, ya lor <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor, eh ya but auto you drive ah you just use your right leg


then very boring one, ya it's like, just <mandarin>学:xue</mandarin> manual


ya, can one lah you can can learn one you never try you never know,


no leh, but if, ya true lah true lah, ya actually how to take cause see now also, all the car auto one


K okay, , we pray lah pray pray can


why, oh ya you must plan properly ah cause that time I also take during my poly days, then then like you know poly you got exam you got intern all this, so I have to plan like


months ahead, cause you know I go #bukit batok# right, then usually if you want a good timing ah


anyhow lah, ya, I think it's it's best to finish it faster lah, next time, if you graduate already I think <mandarin>你没有时间做:ni mei you shi jian zuo</mandarin> lah, so rather take you while you still can


oh ya


ya lah ya lah, so you must plan properly lor, right, and then next time can fetch me go supper right


, , new driver to our squad, you know muslim person talk one time right cannot open as I don't have know okay can start over the thing something something, I know I know okay, sorry sorry,


then, what is your, what's your like


uh plans after your uni, oh ya true lor


ya but will you be stressed because now like, so much retrenchment, then if you graduate then cannot find a job


ya, ya true true I also feel that nowadays all the, new graduates, like they, they feel that, like they're they're, they're qualified lah so


they can get more pay, but then I feel that nowadays all the company ah <mandarin>他们是看你的:ta men shi kan ni de</mandarin> experience, ya lor they prefer experience more than, your all your certificate, ya so, I think as a new employee ah


we we shouldn't like expect so much lor, we should just see what other option we can get


, ya correct correct


ya that's why that's why, ya lor, ya then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> cannot cannot rely on your parents anymore


adulthood, ya true lah


ya lah ya lah rest a while first lor if not, when you go like when I start working, I think it's very hard for you to find a time to like take a long break, ya, so hopefully when you graduate


then COVID, hopefully COVID is over by then, ya sia


oh ya, ya that's why


ya ya


then you wouldn't have motivation also


, then have you have you been to any internship


ya your diploma right, ya lah I think it's, that's why that's why, I think I think for poly the, internship is just for you to like experience how is it like to work


in the companies lah it's more about gaining all the soft skills, ya all the skillset, it's not so important lah, ya lor, then


!wah! then will you go to like exchange overseas


ya, well I think it's a very good experience lah, like as a student, like you can go overseas and experience their culture


ah make friend over there, then maybe who knows next time <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> any like, uh Lobang then <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> take, ya


maybe, ya ya ya, I think <mandarin>要问:yao wen</mandarin> ask your friend lor ask your senior do you have any senior, that


oh, but like that <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> good and bad lah, your uni end earlier but, you don't have internship, yup


ya too late already, ya lah some more if you take internship during uni you need to pay for the school fee right


ya that's why, it's like cause the internship is counted in your semester mah, then, then not worth lah


still got so long to find


ya that's why that's why, ya you always complain about this kind of thing , ya lah ya lah !wah!, that's why that's why some more nowadays


like cause of COVID then <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> everybody <mandarin>要在家里学:yao zai jia li xue</mandarin> ah like go lessons, then I also feel that, it's like you all paying for a very expensive youtube lesson


ya, , what happen


oh okay , ya lor nowadays, after you after you graduate ah, you will have a very very big loan


, , cheapo eh


, , ya I think I think ya


ya lor ya lor


ya, okay lah but luckily government got give out a lot of money lah, that's why, then do you, do you do you still need to go school like, like practical or what


for lab lesson, ya, [orh], ya ya ya


oh really ah they got physical lesson, oh your sister is it, then how then she need go school like how many times a week


!wah! a bit sad for her ah, she just go poly then, she never even see her classmate, ya lor, then next time if they, like don't know when then they can go go back to like normal school life


ya a bit hard to make friend also, cause everything also do online, ya lor ya lor that's why, sad for them lah


ya that's why, !wah! some more I I think if it's me ah I won't have the discipline to attend all the lesson, cause now is you don't care you just, uh go into a lecture like example zoom, then you all can just AFK


everybody do their own stuff, ya, , ya then watch your anime right


ya they all cannot like have physical connections


I heard you got one right that time I saw your instagram, ya lah ya lah then what you all do during your camp uh E camp


(mmhmm), actually do you like camps


ya, ya but it's like a part part and parcel of our life, like you need to make need to meet people


!wah!, they give you notes is it, ya lah so nice they give you or you ask, , that means you always pester them lah


trade with them, how come you need to give, cheat sheet for a senior, I thought like you, one year younger


oh okay ya ya correct correct


and then <mandarin>你有没有:ni you mei you</mandarin> like do the same things for your juniors,


, ya lor ya lor like, it's damn hard to engage people online lah, cause like, cannot do anything much, and hard to play games also


but then usually campers they like to have <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> beach day, ya all the physical activity


that's why lor that's why I think <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> batch <mandarin>有点:you dian</mandarin> Suay, then how was how was your your own one your own freshmen orientation


I mean your first year one as a freshie, ya, less than eight hours


then what you all do sia gossip about people confirm talk cock about people one


ya camp lah camp <mandarin>都是这样的:dou shi zhe yang de</mandarin> lor, last time my poly camp also like that


ya ya much better, K why not we use the the suggested prompts they give us, ya is kind of sad but


can try, ya that's why that's why, K lah I think can ask this one this one not bad, if you have three wishes what would you wish for


, but you cannot wish for more wish lah that one is


why money, ya true lah actually with money you can do a lot of things but, I feel that if you have a lot of money right but you don't know how to use it properly


ya then, it's like you cannot gain happiness from it lor


ya lah ya lah


ya lor ya, it's like the rich get richer than the poor


ya the poor is maintaining, that's why ya


ya same lah same, will be too stressful,


ya I know right, especially nowadays social media like, so available, then you can find all the you can you can post everything online, ya


ya that's why nowadays <mandarin>很很多:hen hen duo</mandarin> fake news ah, then, you cannot anyhow like just believe a a single source, ya that's why I I don't like to like read news online, cause, you don't know what you are reading, and you cannot like anyhow trust


!huh!, oh my god, keep to yourself


ya ya ya that's why that's why nowadays people I don't know why they want to spread fake news, it's like it doesn't really benefit them, other than, like they can have fun out of it but then like <mandarin>你需要这样做:ni xu yao zhe yang zuo</mandarin> meh


ya lor, ya that's why that's why, ya lor I actually during the election also got a lot of this kind of thing like what, that time got one post is is about the


PAP people they putting their their signboard right their poster on the lamp post, ya then got one guy he go and take video, then like the video right cut at the moment they put the PAP post over the PSP one


ya then everybody say what, like, like they go and flame the PAP people, but then actually the full video right, they after after, like the the full video they got show like the PAP actually is not, covering the PSP poster lah they're actually


ya that's why lor I don't know why they want to do this, ah ya


toxic ya, and then got the #xia xue# thing, !aiya!


ya that's why, I, ya cause they bring up like something from the past


then it's like, now that you want to solve this kind of issue, that's why


ya people will change lah


ya that's why, ya that's why nowadays ah, we must be very careful of what we post lor, like we never know like, next time <mandarin>人家看我们的:ren jia kan wo men de</mandarin> profile, then something from the past pop up, but I feel that sometimes


ya then they post without thinking like, how it will affect people I mean how how it will affect, them in the future, ya then for #xia xue# it's like it's damn Suay lor somebody just dig out


and just like, decided to, uh go against her, ya, so I think next time better don't post anything sensitive online, ya, like it it's okay to rant lah but this kind of thing


you shouldn't like uh, do it online lor,


ya that's why that's why


ya that's why


, ya


okay why not we change the topic, ya but ya, okay lah we use that prompt again lah where's the prompt, , since you value money a lot right, like in singapore ah what is the one thing that, you wish it was free


ya, (mmhmm)


ya correct correct, it's like, ya, I think for me, if I can wish that something is free right <mandarin>我会选:wo hui xuan</mandarin> food, cause like we need to eat everyday and


I think most of the money I spend right is all on food, so like, I think it will be very good right if next time you can go to the mall right and pick whatever you want, then you don't even need to pay for it


no lah they can earn from other stuff what, ya lah true lah like a lot of jobs will be gone


I mean that's like if you put aside all the consideration lah, like don't care about all the job loss all this, it's just a imagination, ya that's why


ya lah that's why, like, how good is it if you can just pick anything you want from the menu


ya lor, that's why lor


ya, eh <mandarin>不要:bu yao</mandarin> emo leh, , I think, I I think


you don't need to have a lot of money to like, live a happy life, it's just your expectation lor, you must, you must know like where you stand then like what you can afford, like for me


I feel that <mandarin>如果你没有钱:ru guo ni mei you qian</mandarin> you can do other stuff that, like you can try to be like minimalistic lah, like do the stuff that you can afford, trips like japan trip, you can go for like thailand it'll be cheaper also


ya lah, and the food also, if you cannot afford expensive food, I feel like hawker food is even better than like all the mall food, ya


as long you can save a lot by going to hawker so that's, ya lah that's why


same, ya lah the food is like more authentic ah, ya a lot of things in the mall is like commercialised one, then so expensive


ya that's why, I imagine like, ya


that's why <mandarin>要好好读书:yao hao hao du shu</mandarin> lor, stress ah singapore, ya exactly


ya lah ya true lah, like, I feel like grades is just the first impression, like you if go for if you go for interview right, you show them all your certificate, maybe you can enter through your like uh your grades


but then as you progress right, when you work with people people will, will like see how you like work with them like they will see your, people skills instead of like how well you do in school, ya true lah, so I think


you cannot be too greedy lor


ya that's why, is it, is it your group work can choose your own teammate ah, oh ya lah


ya then you got tank any module before, !aiya! your grade all so good


ya lah true lah I think if you meet a like lousy teammate, then you have no choice to like, Chiong yourself


ya lah it's called a group work for a reason lah I feel like everybody must contribute lah, but your one your one got peer evaluation right


oh my god, you want to talk about poly again ah, , my team also what, like we, you what for people right, ya four person


K lah three lah, then the what the last guy ah when we go our lab he still can play his what league of legend, ya, that's why ah lucky <mandarin>我们还有拿到:wo men hai you na dao</mandarin> B sia, if not my GPA drop sia


but, ya lah that's why, if they don't want to care about their result I feel that, at least they just do the group like group work properly


cause like you will affect other people, ya cannot be so greedy lah like <mandarin>这种人这样自私:zhe zhong ren zhe yang zi si</mandarin> ah, ya


ya that's why


, , ya ah true,


ya lah ya lah, actually I also feel quite unfair cause you know our FYP


our team we also cannot change cause it's it's a group that we formed in year one, actually this group is not for FYP right, then in the end until year three ah like going to remain the same


that's why, ya but luckily we can we graduated lah, some can go uni


how fast paced ah


ya I heard, in uni right then you need to study until like midnight then cannot sleep one, do you actually do that


ya are you a what are you a closet mugger, no meh, that time I see when like nearer to exam you everyday study


ya but <mandarin>你没有:ni mei you</mandarin> like <mandarin>有朋友:you peng you</mandarin> right say that never study one then in the end they do so well for the exam, is


I think those kind of people ah they like low key don't want, like, they low key, like don't want you to, err what compete with them that's why they say like that, ya


ah ya lor


the body is you can play, !wah! then like that if I go uni do you think I can have have a CCA, like is it


like do you think is uh I can I can cope with CCA and our my study, ah <mandarin>我又不是你:wo you bu shi ni</mandarin> how I know, no lah then you share your experience lah like, last time you got CCA right but then you quit


oh ya true


, but too bad next week you need go back already, , I mean, not go back lah you need to start your lesson, ya


ya still got eight minutes, , last eight minute what should we talk about, ah, oh ya you know right actually ah I also don't know whether I want to continue chemical engineering


cause, right now I still thinking what I actually want to do, like, I got think of being a physiotherapist, cause I like to play sports


ya then, you know, physiotherapy you can like, err you can like engage people, like you can engage people you can help you can help people, then, it's like the sense of satisfaction lah


ya, eh sorry lah,


ya lah, chemical engineering like so stress, ya, but then it's a very big jump so


I think, I think I damn lazy to go and chase the dream, ya


then tomorrow what what are you doing, then ah then never exercise meh


ya then you want to buy a shoe right, then after that <mandarin>又看又看:you kan you kan</mandarin> then <mandarin>要买你的:yao mai ni de</mandarin> facial right,


so right okay machine right because like fifty percent off already, !wah! so cheap


!wah!, ya you don't even exercise, , then buy buy just it's just because it's cheap right


ya, is, but you are still buying for, do like what you don't even use it, , , ya who stop you from that


, ya !aiya!, I think this kind of thing there's a lot of, offer one lah, you don't need to just


one stock, !aiya! if you buy you're forty forty dollar poorer


ya lor you recently you buy your ipad right, , ya but I think the ipad will help you lah can, you can use it to take your notes keep use it to study


ya lah I think ipad quite good ah, can watch your netflix, can study, you can use as you can use as a laptop also lah can access all your notes, some more now is like HBL, a lot of things is do online, this it's a worth it worth worth investment lah


ya definitely can use lah can use like, very long


some more you also never buy your laptop, like your laptop you use so long already sia, that's why, my my laptop from poly already, cannot even on I mean cannot even use properly


no, my laptop , laptop lousy lah, play too much game, no matter


ya it can last one, ya lah ya lah, I also don't know what how come it become so laggy ah, think we go and download too much,


still got how long, !huh! two more minutes, , ya sia, actually it's the first time I record such a long recording sia


ya that's why, actually how you find how you found this thing


ya ya, ya thanks for the Jio ah


actually I also find it quite interesting, I didn't know like there's actually such thing, ya then after that I go search what is codeswitching, ya, and I I feel that singaporean really do it a lot lor, especially when I talk to my mother cause my mum


my mum don't understand english a lot, but then, my chinese is super Jialat also, so every time I talk to her ah, ya, ya, then now then I realise that I'm actually doing this


is it over, thirty seconds, , hopefully will be, approve lah !huh!


ya just trying for fun right, ya then we can Lepak already


ten second, , eh ya actually we can call it a day right, okay lah, one hour already, !wah!, ya lor ya lor


okay [lah] actually we are done right, bye


okay so what do you want to talk about today, that was so long ago !wah! the last time I went holiday was like


let me think, last year, about there, Bangkok ah, think we went together right,


okay but our friends they all ya I guess so but <mandarin>很久以前:hen jiu yi qian</mandarin> sia long ago, ya you can't even go malaysia eh you know me and my friends wanted to right after exam we all go malaysia straight at, right after the last paper


but then COVID happened so we cannot go, !huh! <mandarin>你请客:ni qing ke</mandarin> lah !huh! <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> spon us lah, got work I I just buy ipad how to get work


I just buy ipad, where got money, cause if you work event line then


the number of people then the government input so many err restrictions it's a bit difficult I guess


ya lah but, it was, I guess okay, at least it's something lah I guess, ah because I already, I already work in this company for <mandarin>一年多了:yi nian duo liao</mandarin> so usually they will call the <mandarin>老客:lao ke</mandarin> come back lah


ya, slowly ah I think


but <mandarin>现在找工也是很难:xian zai zhao gong ye shi hen nan</mandarin> lor, ah, temperature screener contact tracer <mandarin>这种工作:zhe zhong gong zuo</mandarin> but


then like, you make your work so difficult for you, quite Sian lah I feel


of course lah I aunty uncle killer what what do you think, oh ya the aunty very nice she go and Dabao #ba zhang# for me not she Dabao she make #ba zhang# for us so like got three of us part timers then she always in the morning tell us ask us like


oh <mandarin>你吃了吗:ni chi le ma</mandarin> ah <mandarin>我今天做:wo jin tian zuo</mandarin> #ba zhang# <mandarin>给你:gei ni</mandarin> then that time she also make the yam cake, of course lah, !oi! don't anyhow say lah hello


ya then you leh


all the also nothing !wah! I don't want to Jio you lah,


, ten lor ten august next two weeks I guess, ya


okay lah I think long weekend but everyday is long weekend if you having holiday right, home based


okay lah but, even if home based learning I think that the difficulty will be even higher cause, everybody, ya I think might be prone to cheating I don't know but definitely the I think the content will be heavier and much more difficult to score lah because all your


err the what's that called, the weightage of each assessment will be higher and different than physical lessons


to me I feel that I prefer physical lesson because, it's much more how do I say, and then err even if you go school


environment <mandarin>不好:bu hao</mandarin> ah, then it's a bit difficult to study lah in my opinion so, I think physical is better but of course <mandarin>如果你不在学校:ru guo ni bu zai xue xiao</mandarin> like you don't stay in school, then you are wasting like two hours of your time everyday travelling


ya so must make full use of your time lah then <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> COVID <mandarin>最好是不要乱乱出去:zuio hao shi bu yao luan luan chu qu</mandarin> lah, will


don't have lah I mean , you long ago already better than me in studies so what for I give you any tips it's no use what, I mean you come uni is, everyday study study study study and if you got time you just go join CCA or whatever lor


, your time management ah, me don't want lah, don't have time to, like how to say


I don't have time lah to spare, learn is learn lah but whether I can cope with it is a different story okay


!aiya! I vent on you can or not, now, wait for school also tiring lah I also don't know what to do to past my time


!aiya!, because of COVID what holiday, correct lor, so, a bit Sian lah I guess


I think taiwan, I long ago want to go taiwan already but, ya lor should have went last year with my friends for graduation, but too bad, I didn't go, I don't want go


!huh!, you were, don't want lah, pamper, I can pamper myself what why need them


ya lah then you leh, go you go overseas where you want to go


, like ah , ya


I think more than that lah cause if I'm not wrong the, what's that, the, train ah


the metro I don't know ya the the pass is very expensive, so it's like, two six hundred I I can't remember that time my friend went, ya


ya I think so I cannot remember properly lah, ya, so, ya lor very expensive lah but they say it's worth it because err they go for one two week trip so everyday will


take the Shinkansen I think, (ppc), ya I went during sec three with my school that time we had a cultural exchange or some school exchange I can't remember, , it's a few years ago hello


ya, to the Chiba prefecture, ya not bad lah, quite nice the weather also very nice very cooling


ya correct, ya so like only thirty of us twenty sec twos and ten sec threes so I the lucky ten lah, because teacher like me, actually I don't know why I get chosen lah I think it's through balloting


I went there for, one week I think not enough uh I feel, ya, ya correct


so but anyway is a trip with school lah, the typical places, but it's very nice lah I feel, I would definitely go back there again lah


but the prices there, very expensive, eh you sponsor me lah I not enough money lah hello


, ya but other than traveling


I don't think, holiday got much to do lah but, I wanted to <mandarin>考:kao</mandarin> license one this summer break, nothing to do <mandarin>去做工而已:qu zuo gong er yi</mandarin> lor


resume is resume lah but everyone who Kena how do I say, everyone who Kena affected by the COVID of course they also stopped their lessons mah so all the whatever lessons they book, can resume then of course they will go for it lor


then those newcomer sure cannot get one mah the slots, err I see lah my friend's recommendation say #bukit batok# better or the SSC ah


SDC, I don't know anyway is the #bukit batok# one eh the woodlands one, but they say that the safety driving center I think is SDC


, I don't need, ya, think I want take auto cause they say that, err, like in this time lah and age


really meh, but, but manual <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> difficult leh I feel like I cannot cope


the first try don't pass then <mandarin>又要花钱:you yao hua qian</mandarin> and <mandarin>很贵:hen gui</mandarin> eh to keep taking retaking retaking, err I don't want lah, but okay lah a lot of my friends say that take auto now is of course more reasonable and better for girls


ya, but if you want to learn everything like, you know just learn then take manual lah, ya


can you talk properly and sit properly, later they reject our audio, , ya but, now I think learning driving a bit difficult lah cause I wanted to finish within three months during the holiday but


ya lah ya lah


ya lor cause I don't want like graduation <mandarin>我才拿:wo cai na</mandarin> but then the thing is next summer <mandarin>我很忙:wo hen mang</mandarin> then I cannot I don't think that I can


how to say I don't think that I can focus on driving and I don't want to waste my time and fail then retake again waste my money, ya and not like <mandarin>我有车这样:wo you che zhe yang</mandarin> so


a bit pointless for me to take license now, Siao, wait long long, oh my god


you know you must one person talk one time right cannot overlap, , stop overlapping me, , !wah!, but nowadays I think okay lah


but I don't know leh my friends a lot of them taking gap year


like to enjoy first <mandarin>因为如果你去社会上:yin wei ru guo ni qu she hui shang</mandarin> you cannot enjoy anymore mah so they all want to enjoy while they can before they enter the adult life lah


I think, I think right in my opinion lah <mandarin>找工作:zhao gong zuo</mandarin> is no problem is whether you like the job or you, how to say, if you like the job or if you are okay with the salary because nowadays <mandarin>很多人很:hen duo ren hen</mandarin> picky mah so


they might like the job but they are not okay with the salary especially if you graduate with a degree you expect a salary range of maybe like, three K, or higher maybe three point five four K but, maybe people the company don't give you as much


as what you expect lah so, that's why some people probably cannot find a job lor because they are picky but I cannot say for them because there are different from me, ya


ya I also think so


cause like during holiday some of us will go for internship summer winter internship but as long as it's a job I feel you can gain something out of it doesn't matter like what you are working as contract, contact, contact tracer ya like those COVID


jobs lah that were born out of COVID nineteen so even though you are like working a part time job just going for the incentive and money you are still like gaining soft skills like people skills communication ya it's those like back end stuff also


so as long as you can like put it in your resume or something and then prove your worth I think it's okay, ya, of course like, now having a job also very difficult lah, so many retrenchments for <mandarin>东西:dong xi</mandarin> you also cannot predict mah


ya but <mandarin>工作难:gong zuo nan</mandarin> lah once you go to adult life, then still need approval, ya


so, a bit difficult lor I guess, I think <mandarin>是做工吧可能:shi zuo gong ba ke neng</mandarin> maybe rest a while, but not too long lah


ya <mandarin>因为现在:yin wei xian zai</mandarin> COVID then like err this year graduate <mandarin>的人是很可惜:de ren shi hen ke xi</mandarin> lah because they, they when they graduate then all the companies not hiring then some of the companies take involuntary leave


ya so is no pay not paid mah, like <mandarin>如果你做:ru guo ni zuo</mandarin> internship <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> take internship without pay meh I wouldn't lah cause I don't think is right for me to, take a no pay internship, like <mandarin>有些人是真的需要钱:you xie ren shi zhen de xu yao qian</mandarin> that's why <mandarin>他们去:ta men qu</mandarin> internship then along the way <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> gain the skills mah but <mandarin>如果:ru guo</mandarin> you go for a no paid one


it's a bit like, what am I here for am I just like, you know getting skills but, you there's no renumeration lah, ya, so I feel like it's not right lor for some companies to not have any like


err allowance given to their interns like not not paid internship lah, ya during poly lor no choice mah but, err


not really relevant to my diploma lor, ya but it's at least something gained lor out of it, you don't really need to be related ya


it's like, err <mandarin>很难讲:hen nan jiang</mandarin> lah cause this summer break what was I supposed to do


ya I was also supposed to find intern but of course not easy lah, ya, like <mandarin>很多我的朋友:hen duo wo de peng you</mandarin> intern <mandarin>被:bei</mandarin> cancel <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> then, ya lor <mandarin>在家:zai jia</mandarin> #zuo bo# lor


for me I would love to but <mandarin>很贵:hen gui</mandarin> then even if you like apply for those like subsidies <mandarin>这种东西你拿:zhe zhong dong xi ni na</mandarin> bursary, you still have to think of your accommodation <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> expenses, ya how much you gonna set aside


ya all this type of thing so it's a lot of consideration to think about but of course I would want to go lah


ya then like because internship <mandarin>也是很重要:ye shi hen zhong yao</mandarin> mah you will never know if the company want you will not in the future after you complete the internship with them, like it won't hurt you to ask the company and be thick skin a little bit


ya, senior, none of them took internship as I know cause from poly mah then, like <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> exempted for internship so


ya, so for me <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> like internship, it's okay if my uni and earlier like I wouldn't extend my semester to just get a compulsory internship <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> after I graduate I could have spend that time


to find a job instead of an internship that pays way lower, ya, if I'm not wrong


ya <mandarin>找工会比较好:zhao gong hui bi jiao hao</mandarin> lah I think


cause internship wise as you say lor <mandarin>你做:ni zuo</mandarin> internship company <mandarin>换你钱给你钱:huan ni qian gei ni qian</mandarin> but you are still paying school fees then it's the same system as poly <mandarin>了:liao</mandarin> lor which I feel, again was unfair I think I was complaining last time


eh <mandarin>我在还钱:wo zai huan qian</mandarin> eh for things that I'm not even using in school you know


ya then, because like


some people they are not really well off to do but of course there's bursary lah but still, oh my brother call me, ya, so anyway the school fees is very expensive lah


correct, ya so, like for now because of COVID then we always err need to be at home to study then, I feel like I could have been in school


you know using the school electricity I guess, instead of my house electricity ya it's, okay lah call me cheapskate but I always like, charge my things fully before I come home, cause I'm paying so much money you know and like <mandarin>如果他们没有:ru guo ta men mei you</mandarin> decrease the sem fees right


then is, do what sanitisation with the school, I mean <mandarin>很多人:hen duo ren</mandarin> argue lah <mandarin>是要还:shi yao huan</mandarin> professor <mandarin>钱:qian</mandarin> but, how much of our school fees goes to the professor and how much goes to


ya school facilities which, I feel that maybe they could have offset, a bit more because of COVID


ya, then, , for me


but, ya lor for poly <mandarin>他们刚刚:ta men gang gang</mandarin> resume <mandarin>学校:xue xiao</mandarin> mah, ya so <mandarin>他们还有:ta men hai you</mandarin> project work but is all online lah but, I don't know why they transited to a physical lesson


, err I don't know leh, I never go and ask, but this week she went twice lah next week I think she go


what four days three days


ya lah I mean no choice lah if you want to minimise the risk


ya lor, ya I I always okay lah sometimes I very bored during lesson then I just put two tabs as in like split my screen lor half, then I scroll through facebook laugh laugh laugh, no that's you not me


ya but quite sad lah for all the, what is that for all those that are coming going into school term, during COVID cause, it's like <mandarin>不是真正的朋友:bu shi zhen zheng de peng you</mandarin> lor even if you have camps online it's <mandarin>不一样的:bu yi yang de</mandarin> experience for me


camp was a great way to make friends with, people from other courses as well as mine lah, ya those are the times that you really bond mah but <mandarin>如果你去:ru guo ni qu</mandarin> zoom <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> camp


ya but


, we play the, !aiya!, it's all those normal game lor, err you need to introduce yourself from the course what you like


honestly ah <mandarin>我不喜欢:wo bu xi huan</mandarin> lah


but, okay lah the friends I made is not bad they're quite nice also to help in like helping me


it's really ya lor I think I'm quite lucky lah to have them as my friends like <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> OG <mandarin>真的是很好:zhen de shi hen hao</mandarin> lor, ya they give me notes very nice right, both


I never I got a trade with them also, of course lah <mandarin>我这样好:wo zhe yang hao</mandarin> leh they ask ask me for cheat sheet <mandarin>我也给:wo ye gei</mandarin> eh


cause <mandarin>有些:you xie</mandarin> subjects right <mandarin>很像如果我:hen xiang ru guo wo</mandarin> take UE err unrestricted elective <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> then ya <mandarin>有时候:you shi hou</mandarin> like <mandarin>我朋友还没拿:wo peng you hai mei na</mandarin> mah so I will err give them pass them my notes lor


err they never really ask me lah cause I think right <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> camp ah is a bit <mandarin>尴尬:gan ga</mandarin> then


ya so it was most of the time very, awkward and tiring lah even though it's like a short two three four hours


ah <mandarin>我觉得是很累:wo jue de shi hen lei</mandarin> lor, ya


ya correct then <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> like physical camp <mandarin>会比较好:hui bi jiao hao</mandarin> because then you can engage your err campers mah, ya


ya correct, it's like very poor thing, my own ah it could have been better lah honestly <mandarin>对电脑讲话很:dui dian nao jiang hua hen</mandarin> tiring eh


oh, me as a freshie ah it was very fun lah but also very tiring <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> like <mandarin>每次晚上没有睡觉:mei ci wan shang mei you shui jiao</mandarin> so, err total four days camp I only sleep like less than eight hours


ya <mandarin>你不知道:ni bu zhi dao</mandarin> meh, 不是, I don't know leh we play game ya


very tiring lah, like it if it was a physical camp


definitely better lor, this is damn sad


sorry we are kind of like running out of topics to drag on


!wah! shit if you ask me ah err, I guess, what wishes ah, I think if you want like typical answers will be


like, I want money I want more money, like do you believe, err money makes the world go round


ya but I think like <mandarin>因为你有钱:yin wei ni you qian</mandarin> then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> you won't understand like err what it is like to be in poverty lah but


of course if <mandarin>你有钱你可以:ni you qian ni ke yi</mandarin> like give back to society <mandarin>这种东西:zhe zhong dong xi</mandarin> mah, ya but <mandarin>如果你有钱:ru guo ni you qian</mandarin> then I feel that <mandarin>你不会吃苦:ni bu hui chi ku</mandarin> lah, ya because with money you can buy a lot of things you definitely can survive in the world


africa ah <mandarin>这种东西他们他们的世界跟:zhe zhong dong xi ta men ta men de shi jie gen</mandarin> the, like, compared to ours is totally different, ya so


with money I I think money is important in life lah, like if you got no money is really quite struggling it's like you see that time the the what mothership or must share news that time they share the


like singapore is so, how to say ah, singapore is like progress so much right but then <mandarin>还有这种人在:hai you zhe zhong ren zai</mandarin> suffer


ya the poor get poorer lah so, a bit sad, ya, it's like that time the #pritam singh# say he want to set aside fifty percent of his salary then I don't know what is it err


ya another facebook post you know come and criticise then a lot of people criticising also lah, but I don't really keep track of all this type of thing also lah


ya, if some of the things that they post right you don't know whether they are real or fake


ya then like that time just now <mandarin>刚刚而已:gang gang er yi</mandarin> lah <mandarin>我看到一个:wo kan dao yi ge</mandarin> facebook post, then I thought it's the passion fruit, then in the end or <mandarin>他就看下去:ta jiu kan xia qu</mandarin> oh it's a lizard !wah! <mandarin>恶心:e xin</mandarin> sia is koi


ya <mandarin>等一下我给你看那个:deng yi xia wo gei ni kan na ge</mandarin> photo, damn disgusting sia but then the thing is right he only take photo of the, the never take photo of the lid, so <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> comments <mandarin>是讲:shi jiang</mandarin> oh you don't know whether it's after he opened or before he open because never take photo of the full


ya bottle, ya, ya like <mandarin>如果你要害一个:ru guo ni yao hai yi ge</mandarin> company hor <mandarin>是这样做:shi zhe yang zuo</mandarin> meh like


won't hurt your conscience ah


ya like <mandarin>有些东西可以:you xie dong xi ke yi</mandarin> trust lah but, some maybe cannot lor you have to really make your own judgment, nowadays social media is quite


toxic, yup, oh my god, I think that one a bit the cancel culture is true lah it's a bit too much I feel the cancel culture but


!haiya! I mean I'm not in her shoes I don't really understand, and I don't, chase this type of news unless it pop on my feed, , quite controversial I feel


ya lah but do you think it's like appropriate for them to dig out news that are like ten years ago like if you think about it <mandarin>你自己:ni zi ji</mandarin> ten years ago versus you now


if you make, ya if you make like insensitive remark, err for me if I was ten years ago should be eleven years old, I think insensitive remarks, is a bit normal because like <mandarin>我们还没长大:wo men hai mei zhang da</mandarin> mah


ya because now like social media is really a big place lah it's a, platform that really can be misused lah for good or bad, things like that


, like you see the the protest in hong-kong, the black lives uh black lives matter protest, ya, it's a bit, I mean like <mandarin>如果:ru guo</mandarin> some people have like the sensitivity lah they will understand like where all these things are coming from but


there are still like people who support the bad side of it, ya for those that are ignorant, like you know the black lives matter one right I think it was quite a big issue because, err they go and kneel down the police go and kneel down on the george floyd then a lot of people in the states they keep err making fun of it lah which <mandarin>我觉得是不对:wo jue de shi bu dui</mandarin> lor because


then following that there's even more deaths occurring in schools and everywhere like they will even protect statues more than real life people


then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> <mandarin>觉得是不对的:jue de shi bu dui de</mandarin> lah I mean, is statues more important than your own people just because their skin color is different


oh no okay okay


one thing that I wish is free in singapore ah, I would say education but then the thing is education is quite heavily subsidised already by the government especially for, singapore citizens ah PR I'm not too sure


but, even the government will help us through like bursary <mandarin>这些东西:zhe xie dong xi</mandarin> lor


I I think if you wish food is free right nobody can earn anything anymore


, you know those food providers to how they earn money, ya so if you want to say free ah, quite difficult lah err


like, ya if you don't think too deep lah I think food is a good option, cause it , essential for survival lah no choice


true true true I tend to like consider prices a lot when I choosing food lah cause <mandarin>如果你要算:ru guo ni yao suan</mandarin> err <mandarin>省钱:sheng qian</mandarin> ah then


sometimes it's inevitable that I'll just look at the price then <mandarin>可能:ke neng</mandarin> just choose something <mandarin>比较便宜:bi jiao pian yi</mandarin> lah, ya


, !hais!, it's like living is so difficult I don't want to I don't know why


it was


I feel like hawker food is even better like all involved, true I like hawker food better like, for me I very easygoing lah then hawker food is enough ah plus


it's so much cheaper than eating in the mall, but, ya lor you can save a lot by going to hawker also, ya but <mandarin>有些人觉得:you xie ren jue de</mandarin> hawker <mandarin>很肮脏:hen ang zang</mandarin> but, okay lah <mandarin>肮脏是肮脏:ang zang shi ang zang</mandarin> lah but it's a bit like


how to say, got the feels lor quite nice, ya, but I guess like <mandarin>租金很贵也是:zu jin hen gui ye shi</mandarin> lor so


ya imagine like, you got no money but you want to buy a house in the future how, also so expensive uh how to afford few hundred K


, but ah <mandarin>你好好读书:ni hao hao du shu</mandarin> ah <mandarin>不要忘记做人:bu yao wang ji zuo ren</mandarin> leh, I think the most important right to me lah I feel it's like doesn't matter whether my grades are bad but I must be a good person lor


correct


ya lah like


I think it was very common in like business school from I heard lah but, thank god <mandarin>我还没有遇到这种人:wo hai mei you yu dao zhe zhong ren</mandarin> lor, thankfully, some can some cannot lah so <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> Heng Suay lor


you can good teammates then good for you lah you can do everything <mandarin>顺顺利利:shun shun li li</mandarin> you get bad teammates then you tank lor, got lah tank also don't get good grades what, so like, so like <mandarin>有时候:you shi hou</mandarin> I just thinking lah what for I put in so much effort then <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> grades like


like like that lor, ya but you see ah team effort versus individual effort


obviously I think that team effort will be much better lah if it's a group work, ya do work for reason lah if you agree to contribute, that time FYP <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> lah like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> poly <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> FYP <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> peer evaluation


quite sad lah, (mmhmm)


, Hosei Liao lor


but, ya I don't understand <mandarin>这种人:zhe zhong ren</mandarin> like don't put in their effort lor don't pull their weight


, ya lah like it's not just you busy what like you think everyone else not busy meh


then it's <mandarin>不公平:bu gong ping</mandarin> mah, you pull in less so less effort but you get the same grades because of no peer evaluation, ya but !aiya! <mandarin>这种人:zhe zhong ren</mandarin> is like, you have to live with it lor no choice lor, suck it up lor


obviously lah this type of question need to meh, like why will I settle for anything less, like <mandarin>我还这样多钱:wo huan zhe yang duo qian</mandarin> is not to deal with all these grievances eh it's not to like


there's so many different type of people out there in the society you have to live with it lor learn how to deal with it which, ya will help me grow as a person lah


quite shag lah ya lah, ya but, okay lah from poly to uni the transition is quite


it's not so big but the thing is, err the workload <mandarin>是很大很:shi hen da hen</mandarin> a very big, jump, so like <mandarin>我的朋友全部都:wo de peng you quan bu dou</mandarin> from poly mah <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> group of friends, then <mandarin>他们也是:ta men ye shi</mandarin> cannot cope properly lor


like, how do I say it's the stress lah really really, cannot sleep ah I, it's more like mugging lor


I I study whenever I can lah but, it's not like I will study every single day I still got play


err no choice what, !aiyo! <mandarin>这种人多得很:zhe zhong ren duo de hen</mandarin> lah, is, !aiya! I think it's just humble bragging okay


ya I mean, well what do you want to say also okay lah I don't take offence mah <mandarin>我自己的:wo zi ji de</mandarin> standard is just fighting with your own cohort bell curve lor, , not that much different from poly but


the stress level is really there, like poly you still can play


it's not really a CCA it's more like a


lesson is more like going for lessons but I feel like it's very time consuming for me lah, like <mandarin>因为我不在:yin wei wo bu zai</mandarin> I don't stay in school mah I don't stay in the dorms so, very time consuming I could have do be doing better things lah


ya but enough of school it's quite tiring I don't want to think of school anymore, , shag man


oh my god are we are we almost done I don't think we are done yet, , oh no, what else can we talk


your english damn Cui leh, ya but err I think it's really ultimately up to you lah I I don't have a say in the choice it's really, ya lor <mandarin>看你要做什么:kan ni yao zuo shen me</mandarin> lor in the future


stress stress lah but <mandarin>你真的可以:ni zhen de ke yi</mandarin> branch out lor, but <mandarin>如果你喜欢帮人的话:ru guo ni xi huan bang ren de hua</mandarin> you can just go for physio lah no harm what


ya but its like like that


!huh!, err same as every other day lah just wake up, use my phone, eat, use my phone again


!wah! I hate exercising leh cannot lah you know right I that day saw shopee under armour fifty percent off eh, ya I wanted to buy the shoe nevermind, so,


so right okay the shoe right it was like fifty percent off already then, because zero dollar minimum spend right there's another additional twenty percent off, so the shoe was from hundred dollar plus to fifty dollar plus then you add the additional twenty percent was at forty dollar plus leh


tempting right, !wah! <mandarin>我差一点买:wo cha yi dian mai</mandarin> leh but then the thing is right the more I think right, I wouldn't even use the shoe I don't even exercise, eh <mandarin>划算:hua suan</mandarin> mah you think about it from hundred plus it's a sixty dollar at least sixty dollar decrease eh


, eh ya lah then I that's why I never buy mah, myself lah


!aiya! <mandarin>人家心急:ren jia xin ji</mandarin> mah


left one stock eh I <mandarin>差一点买:cha yi dian mai</mandarin> eh, , I'm already poor what are you talking about


don't about it I very sad eh my friend is like broke now


okay lah for me it's more of like convenience sake that's why I'm buying it lor like I hope really hope that it will help me lah, cause it's also an investment I want to use like other things with do other things with the ipad also


true, ya I think is a is worth it lah


in the long run cause I think also quite <mandarin>耐:nai</mandarin> mah I mean you pay like one K plus, ya so you also nevermind your laptop, ya


think I use like four years


there's no such thing as lousy, then I think no, no matter, how lousy it is right <mandarin>如果你有:ru guo ni you</mandarin> take care right, ya it can last one


, ah mind your language ah, are we almost done we're not done okay okay okay err hang on for three more minutes two more minutes


it's quite long it has been, a long one hour I'm actually quite tired, it's the first time I actually talk this much, ya


oh I found this on facebook like actually not I find lah it's my friend find I've been seeing a lot of these like, err ad on telegram those finding for malay and tamil speakers then like I don't see chinese one mah then some of my friends send me this post on facebook


saying they trying to find for those uh codeswitching chinese english people, ya so I just Jio you also lor, then my friend Jio me


same


haven't haven't still got like, , err doesn't matter lah I think I just want to, finish up this one hour


and call it a day, ya,


I think so, I think we are just dragging it eh oh my goodness


can, okay so, interesting lah I think this project like, you know like <mandarin>没有看过:mei you kan guo</mandarin> cause you know if I talked to #ang moh# right then


like if <mandarin>我跟他这样好好这样讲话:wo gen ta zhe yang hao hao zhe yang jiang hua</mandarin> if I use proper english they will understand exactly what I'm talking about, but if I use singlish right majority of the language is in english but then


like then <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> if you say anything like that they won't understand a single thing, if if you speak to them like no matter so if they come to singapore then they will have a hard time understanding english eh understanding our version of english which is singlish


then they will be like ha, wait what don't understand, ya


true lah like I think, but the funny thing is


it appears that only singapore <mandarin>做这种东西:zuo zhe zhong dong xi</mandarin> like, you would change from chinese become, english then english become halfway through then you will start, ha


like I don't know uh my friend visited from hong kong and stuff they were quite surprised, then like


immediately two seconds later <mandarin>我转头就已经跟他们在讲:wo zhuan tou jiu yi jing gen ta men zai jiang</mandarin> chinese <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> then <mandarin>他讲:ta jiang</mandarin> !huh! how how did you even like transition like that without pausing you know like, wait like won't you be confused like


ha, they don't get it they simply do not understand like how it's even possible to them it's, unimaginable not possible


ya true lah


, oh ya ya ya true like what I just say lah like where you want go Makan you know that means like it's like, got chinese english and, malay usually is english and malay mix lah I think


in, like <mandarin>怎样将:zen yang jiang</mandarin> ah is


oh ya ya ya, classically,


ya, oh ya very true,


ah


like <mandarin>一下子以前刚才没有这样大声:yi xia zi yi qian gang cai mei you zhe yang da sheng</mandarin> then <mandarin>现在又小大大回声了怎样办要:xian zai you xiao da da hui sheng le zen yang ban yao</mandarin> restart ah


ya but ya lor I mean last time I used to work in banquet right, then I will do this as well then <mandarin>会跟他们讲一下子讲华文一下子讲英文:hui gen ta men jiang yi xia zi jiang hua wen yi xia zi jiang ying wen</mandarin> then they will find it very funny, but usually I will try and keep it professional lah and then you know like


but then the funny thing is <mandarin>有些不会是因外:you xie bu hui shi yin wai</mandarin> you know like even if it's fellow singaporeans like, the way they speak english is very


fluent to them lah but


it's almost like they just came back from england or something then their chinese become like, full of, english accent, full of like american accent full of any kind of accent but chinese


which one, ah ya, ah


is it didn't know that, (uh huh), , (hmm)


, like that also can


so long already ah, ya like not very


uh not very china lah a lot of people say I sound like china person when I speak chinese like if when I attempt to speak properly lah you know not my chinese very good like that but


but then okay lah, !aiya! I don't know eh but <mandarin>你记得那个他的:ni ji de na ge ta de</mandarin> daughter ah <mandarin>叫什么名字:jiao shen me ming zi</mandarin> ah err what's her name again err melody, the the the six primary six one


uh, I don't know lah <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> the older one I think the older one, oh then maybe the younger one then the one that is hiding in your engines bedroom that one the the seat in the corner one

exactly like, okay lah I understand the the new regulations is that because kindergarten right the teacher would pamper you like really really pamper you, so like oh sit down please you know like don't don't be so naughty then you get nap times during class


I think, then you know like you get to eat whatever the heck you want you get to play with things


the transition is very big, but then, I mean by the time you are seven you are you are supposed to have learnt to sit down right, I don't know like,


that's true that is true like I mean okay lah difference is what probably twelve years only what, dang it but twelve years can a lot of a lot of shit can happen like that's the thing a lot of things can really really just


why, that's the thing so jealous oh anyway speaking turning back to melody right


but, he sends her for, mandarin tuition, like, then

basic language <mandarin>听得懂:ting de dong</mandarin> but


like <mandarin>为什么听不懂走去:wei shen me ting bu dong zou qu</mandarin> don't no where to <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> don't no where, then <mandarin>就变成:jiu bian cheng</mandarin> don't no where, you know like the, language is not a difficult thing to master every every person should at least have a basic capacity of at least


garnering one language but singaporean appears to have, limited, ability is not limited is like we spend all our energy on, today one language tomorrow one language then we in the end we wrote we


Rojak the whole thing become, half half fifty percent chinese then another half don't know what thing, you know like I don't know lah since young my chinese is better


I don't understand, what they wrote, and then the way they write it right the handwriting is terrible, so, like

ah, really meh


how oh I got one friend she's indian but then <mandarin>她可以很:ta ke yi hen</mandarin> fluent <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> chinese <mandarin>你懂:ni dong</mandarin> mah like okay lah for an indian lah so like conversational chinese then you know like you say something right then like ya <mandarin>我听得懂:wo ting de dong</mandarin> what like <mandarin>你们要去吃什么什么:ni men yao qu chi shen me shen me</mandarin> right don't don't need to <mandarin>特地翻译给我:te di fan yi gei wo</mandarin> or you know like <mandarin>我听得懂:wo ting de dong</mandarin> then is like


it's not exactly like <mandarin>字正腔圆:zi zheng qiang yuan</mandarin> and stuff but then, it will be like, wait how you understand so you speak what tamil english and chinese ah, ya lah very very interesting meh then you'll be like wait what


I I can speak chinese and english, maybe in in some cases like some japanese if you if I talk to japanese people then they won't understand lah you know you you get what I mean right, but I think it's, like it's not like they won't understand but is very


what is that call , you will enter the room go left


ya, I I don't know lah ha don't know, but !aiya!, , I feel that more languages is better lah more languages


ah


oh okay, ah


, oh right right right is the the guy that keeps sending you emails in the middle of the night right that guy, okay then


, ya


, how did she even learn malay


oh okay lah like if you have half a year of, practice you should at least be able to learn, basic


forms of language ah to what to the best of my knowledge right some people like I'm assuming they are just very good learners lah !huh!, they will say things like half a year is enough to learn one language


then <mandarin>他就上课:ta jiu shang ke</mandarin> then <mandarin>他就觉得:ta jiu jue de</mandarin> like <mandarin>老师每天老师在那边讲讲讲讲讲好像在背书这样:lao shi mei tian lao shi zai na bian jiang jiang jiang jiang jiang hao xiang zai bei shu zhe yang</mandarin> very annoying


then <mandarin>以前的电影院就是一张戏票你看到同一部戏看到你爽的:yi qian de dian ying yuan jiu shi yi zhang xi piao ni kan dao tong yi bu xi kan dao ni shuang de</mandarin> what, then <mandarin>你才出来的:ni cai chu lai de</mandarin> right


then <mandarin>就天天看一个是同一部戏:jiu tian tian kan yi ge shi tong yi bu xi</mandarin> lor


ha ha ha, but okay lah but <mandarin>问题是你从你从:wen ti shi ni cong ni cong</mandarin> anime <mandarin>学:xue</mandarin> japanese <mandarin>跟你从看电影学:gen ni cong kan dian ying xue</mandarin> japanese like <mandarin>因为电影是人:yin wei dian ying shi ren</mandarin> right


they will use things like, a bit more harsh lah then female characters will use guy language then guy character will sometimes use


guy language but then ruder guy language or they do something more like you know the, very popular one what's that called err Naruto you know Naruto right then that guy right then everything will Dattebayo


Dattebayo at the end of the sentence right, then, that's the thing nobody in this on this earth in japan will suddenly come to you and Dattebayo like something something Dattebayo something something Dattebayo like what


then, I, I didn't pick up Dattebayo but I picked up something else I was like the language ah very rude, then, I talk to my eh japanese teacher my japanese teacher japanese teacher scold me you know


very bad, !aiya!


now still have now still have but, you know for the purpose of the recording right let's not let's not bring in other dialects if not who will be very weird I already bring in malay already like Makan at all or not, but then okay lah I mean singlish what, singapore is after all a mixed spot culture like if I remember the word


terminology correctly lah, but then , , if you go japan right that's the thing like good thing about singapore is anybody come to singapore you can say whatever the heck you want using your language there will be somewhere someone out there, who will understand you


but if you go to japan, you try and speak anything but japanese you see who will understand you know, like they would expect you to they won't they don't expect you to be fluent, they expect you to at least be able to, to say something like in japanese


or at least like try attempt to speak in japanese, if not they won't understand you, nothing is in english, my cousin went to did I tell you, my cousin went to japan right to teach english


then, cause err, I think he just likes japanese lah so he went and did the, proficiency test, then err, then he got the job lah basically then you know like he's one of the smarter smarter ones in the family lah


so he went japan right, then , when his parents go and visit him, in japan when he's not at home they cannot go out, cause nothing is in english nothing absolutely nothing


then that's the thing vending machine got no picture, only japanese words like <mandarin>什么什么什么:shen me shen me shen me</mandarin> Ramen like maybe like Tonkatsu Ramen or don't know what Ramen like the pork Ramen or chicken Ramen or don't know what Ramen, then it's like


coca cola you know, then <mandarin>就随便按:jiu sui bian an</mandarin> lor <mandarin>按的不好吃就:an de bu hao chi jiu</mandarin> maybe <mandarin>互相换:hu xiang huan</mandarin> lor like you need to exchange between each other like that lah


but it's funny you know like it, I like japanese food, but I don't know if they are like adapting so, so like oh but japanese food very salty you should try damn salty


eh you got go before meh I didn't know you go before second job, !ee! not fair I want go


oh but I heard Tokyo damn expensive very very expensive my father's friend say, ya see somebody's paying for you but my father's friend go


japan right like they go Tokyo lah maybe a one week, by the end of the week they ran out of money then they have to stay in the web cafe eh, that's good lah but they say if you want to visit right


Tokyo is probably not the best place to go they said Osaka is probably the best, actually, (uh huh)


I want to go see the Gionmachi in the Gion, Gion you know the Gion right uh Gion is where all the geisha are you you know I like all the geisha stuff okay, but then right now right because a lot of tourist they, , the very black sheep lah


but then <mandarin>你就拦他的路直接那个相机就:ni jiu lan ta de lu zhi jie na ge xiang ji jiu</mandarin> Piak <mandarin>人家的脸:ren jia de lian</mandarin> like that, then <mandarin>变成现在那个:bian cheng xian zai na ge</mandarin> government right <mandarin>他们就放一个:ta men jiu fang yi ge</mandarin> banner <mandarin>上来:shang lai</mandarin> they they put up a new law so like, you cannot, take pictures in private area so like maybe cause geisha live in geisha houses what


then <mandarin>他们就:ta men jiu</mandarin> if they're in this area right then maybe you cannot take picture there's specific areas you cannot take picture, I think it's a good thing, but then <mandarin>有点杀风景:you dian sha feng jing</mandarin> cause I really want to see geisha


ten K jam, oh yen I think, which is I don't know lah uh, twelve K sing sing dollar I think, you everything <mandarin>风景:feng jing</mandarin> one ah you photographer what


okay, oh oh okay okay like city city view lah like it has no city view if it's not in city, really


the pace of life, ya pace of life


I don't know leh you know like uh at that time I was helping to bring kids around like japanese exchange students around right, !wah! I tell you they were so


surprise, if surprise is the right word cause I I don't think surprised is the right word, they see our escalator they think it's very fast eh, it's not the fastest escalator in the whole singapore you know the fastest should be in city hall orchard and stuff right all the CBD areas right


they went to what uh, basically anywhere ah, or maybe Bugis, maybe, chinatown has one and the escalator very slow, very very slow then they'll be like oh this is the pace in japan


lah like, !huh!, you know ah, ya but then that's why you leave one space for them to run ah whoever needs to go faster they will run lah I'm like what escalator is to help you to


travel without having you to run like a crazy person, but only <mandarin>有那个而已:you na ge er yi</mandarin> the only one that goes very slow is that one escalator


the rest of it is more like normal pace you know inside the MRT itself right the escalators are okay normal speed, which they think it's very fast they haven't see the orchard one yet, like ION inside ION one is very slow but outside of ION is very very fast according to them so every time they go to onto the escalator I'll remind the escalator <mandarin>要小心:yao xiao xin</mandarin> you know very fast one


you cannot just, like <mandarin>我们没有地震:wo men mei you di zhen</mandarin> but <mandarin>我们有:wo men you</mandarin> escalator lor does that make sense to you


students from Tokyo I'm surprised I'm very very surprised


peak hour they they have this person in the train station right who will try and shove people in, like the what's that called ah they will push people into the thing so like if you cannot get in right


they will really, but then, they said after the hour right basically like fifteen minutes after the peak hour


but, they will never be late like, ten minutes early is normal, on time is called late


like, and after that time is called super late, they will be very angry they will super be very very very very angry, I got a friend oh my god he asked my friend, to drive them lah then <mandarin>我去送机:wo qu song ji</mandarin> what so <mandarin>一起:yi qi</mandarin> lor then just nice traffic jam then that fucker also late


then, like how to say ah then the guy who texted me you know then they never say they want goes err, airport to buy stuff they never say, so they say that they basically just go inside then they will be like eh you all very very late already leh like


we told you this time because we want go inside and buy stuff then I'm like, you say lah then become we book earlier like we we arrange earlier then like you know like can chit chat and stuff mah you know then <mandarin>你不要早点讲:ni bu yao zao dian jiang</mandarin> then <mandarin>你到最后才来跟我讲说你很我们很迟:ni dao zui hou cai lai gen wo jiang shuo ni hen wo men hen chi</mandarin> then


I mean, we are not used to japanese culture, we're just not used to like I I'm aware there's this such things that like the ten minute rule, but I'm not used to it so like, you will just forget one lah !huh! just forget, but then we weren't very good host lah to be honest ha ha ha


ah ya


why eh, ya, of course


okay lah I mean I know the I don't know how they treat you but it's almost like <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> chinese <mandarin>的待客知道:de dai ke zhi dao</mandarin> like this one one good thing they learn from china lah I think


that, they will treat you like you are the most important people in the world, which is good though like but the funniest thing is you know japan everything is expensive, then <mandarin>你住人家家:ni zhu ren jia jia</mandarin> right then you have to shower, then like the shower usually they will shower first then they will soak in the bathtub right


but then everybody share the water, everybody in the household share the water so like if the guests come right they will let you use the water first cause it's the cleanest and the warmest the last person very unlucky is really like everybody finish already and then it's cold


I mean I think inside got heater I'm not sure some people have some people don't have, but, I beg god I I don't want to go the last one very cold I don't want


ah ya the okay, ya


do you know, ah


, ah ya


is not awkward meh like the privacy don't have already eh


K lah


!wah! if you want to scare people you just been camera in, I know it's not allowed I mean <mandarin>你可以随便随便拍的:ni ke yi sui bian sui bian pai de</mandarin> but, you know imagine if like the night view is very nice right then


you <mandarin>自动:zi dong</mandarin> lah because there is always black sheeps around right so somebody will just anyhow [ho] and snap, but, if you can take a picture of the night scene right !wah! I think that area will be the best area


oh there's hotel inside, oh okay okay no wonder it's so nice there I mean privacy as well lah, cause


ya, but then like no privacy what <mandarin>澡堂:zao tang</mandarin> and stuff you know like so, even if like you don't need a smartphone to feel not


private, awkward but then <mandarin>没有人:mei you ren</mandarin> awkward so <mandarin>你自己一个人在那边:ni zi ji yi ge ren zai na bian</mandarin> awkward <mandarin>的时候又特别:de shi hou you te bie</mandarin> awkward, like, !huh!


like okay, I mean, the feel should be very good like everybody like nobody is more, expensive you know like nobody has more money than you everybody is the same lah you know you get what I mean right, but, if you go in


then everybody is naked though or like you're not used to the side then <mandarin>你会觉得好像:ni hui jue de hao xiang</mandarin> !huh!, like <mandarin>你叫我去:ni jiao wo qu</mandarin> Onsen <mandarin>我还会想一下:wo hai hui xiang yi xia</mandarin> but then <mandarin>这个是:zhe ge shi</mandarin> like


oh dear like, is it


I thought it's almost like the you know the maybe china the the space very big one, they have a lot of space you know they have a lot of


you need to go closer


your thing very soft, but Tokyo everything is high high level what in Tokyo right just the rental itself right


maybe just maybe outskirt of Tokyo lah the price is maybe like uh one whole house to you maybe like


it's already two K, which is very expensive then <mandarin>他们在家:ta men zai jia</mandarin> the living expenses is extremely rare expensive especially fruits, given that is very nice


but still, like one apple can cause you like, ten dollar I'm not sure anybody's gonna eat it lah but according to my japanese teacher I never go japan before so I don't know, but they say one apple right the whole family can eat one because it's big enough


but whatever you know I expect myself to have whatever not whatever everybody, is what what kind of size the apple like <mandarin>柚子:you zi</mandarin> or something


but I like kimono lor kimono is still nice, very hard to wear given it's very hard to, when


no lah but you must be plan first what Agak what kind of season you want to go like Agak when you want to go


exhibition hall like you mean the art studio and stuff ah, oh you wanna go see what Tamiya car


singapore toy museum I heard nothing in there you just basically go and see other people's toy, but I mean


I I never go inside before I just saw like you know the not advertisement like the documentary


meaning


oh ya okay got it


weren't there a sculpture of that, whatever Gundam like the I think it's the, white red blue yellow you know the the the classic one


ya but then that one was in front of Taka what that one should be the actual size right, ya I mean many years ago lah maybe like five years ago


is it I mean they never put SG flag or anything leh, ya they sold but then the Gundam outside itself is normal like


then I mean <mandarin>你自己喷:ni zi ji pen</mandarin> lah


!aiya! true lah, but then I'm surprised eh how come singaporean artist never go and do one


which one the SG fifty gun dam meh, oh is it I thought singaporean do one eh, !ee! awkward


[orh]


wait how long ago was that, okay lah then early twenties or maybe mid twenties lot, wait wait seven years right ya lah <mandarin>差不多:cha bu duo</mandarin> lah mid twenties


(uh huh)


, I mean our merlion is very classic like like, basically you you don't even have to see the body you see the head you know is merlion already like, that's the thing what I'm saying is you don't have to see the tail you see the head alone you know is merlion because nobody draw the lion like that only we all draw like that


like you see malaysian the eh malaysia don't have lion sorry ya I'm malaysia tiger ah where ah where else got lion, err I also don't know, is there anybody else with a lion no right, actually have lah


but then the lion is definitely not drawn like that, the uh Baca, like the blue colour one I only know it's blue colour because I draw before


but then I know they have lion one but blue colour don't know what, theme, oh I don't know eh I don't like soccer I really don't like soccer I don't understand soccer


america really really like baseball like, apparently to them lah is the net nations uh game or something like that lah whatever they call it, but then, you know surprisingly japan likes baseball too like they have they you know japan right


they have this thing they love to copy, foreign languages stuff, then <mandarin>他就会很像:ta jiu hui hen xiang</mandarin> uh <mandarin>如果是:ru guo shi</mandarin> lemon right they will say lemon


uh video games right video games, then like, but, soccer then <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> soccer


ya cute, like, !huh!, like you like you like baseball so much that <mandarin>你会特地去起一个名字:ni hui te di qu qi yi ge ming zi</mandarin> for it you just cannot baseball eh, you cannot just follow the name, !aiyo! I don't understand like


but they really really like baseball like they have a baseball team in every school like, to the best of my knowledge most of the school at least have, then they have soccer team baseball team basketball team the normal ones ah but definitely have baseball team, we see other other places, malaysia probably don't have singapore definitely don't have


I don't know eh I


ya, ya that's the thing see ah japanese has this problem with, being stubborn lah or at least it it's not a problem it's sort of like their their way of being japanese lah


but then <mandarin>他们很很:ta men hen hen</mandarin> stubborn <mandarin>的所以他们就变成好像我要:de suo yi ta men jiu bian cheng hao xiang wo yao</mandarin> I want my own way of doing things, but then <mandarin>他就会很奇怪的是他们会:ta jiu hui hen qi guai de shi ta men hui</mandarin> quickly adapt to american culture cause


then the samurai culture and stuff right then the, err the emperor is the emperor then the rest of the samurai is like the Daimyo and stuff which is the general lah, then the general <mandarin>他们下面:ta men xia mian</mandarin> they have a lot of, uh samurai then they have all the status and whatever


when they change right they are so stubborn that you some of the some of the samurai just don't change some of the samurai just, I know I'm on the losing end but I'll fight to the last man until all we all we all die, but then, when american come right nobody continued that nonsense nobody


everybody just !wow! america let's pick up all the chocolate and let's back then go and go and do whatever the american say, which is when the baseball come in lah that one I really don't understand like, is it that fun


why, ya


which is, Kendo


uh that one I don't know I know that one is like the traditional japanese soap man ship !wah! they very serious, or maybe that's what that's why they are so good at it lah I think cause I know japanese baseball it's very famous like at least according to japanese it's very well done lah I mean if you ask singaporean go and play then different story lah !huh!


but, I don't know because my sister do the cannot my sister my my cousin, she do the Kendo and stuff right, !wah! she's in the singapore team lah but again singapore the Kendo society its community is very small, very very small


so like you basically you go inside and then you compete before, they will know who is it basically the whole singapore will know who is it, ya as so so long as you are in the community, then she will tell you like, if when she goes to japan, and then when they're playing and stuff like that


then not playing lah they are just like you know exchange experience and stuff, they are so serious like their warm up is eighty, two sets of eighty push ups or something like that and then two sets of sit ups and then two sets of whatever like everything is eighty eighty eighty eighty eighty and then the best part is they're


opponents are aunty, so like thirty forty years old already at that time they are like what, teens maybe early twenties, and then they'll be like oh so nice to you before the whole thing starts right but when when they are in their gear gear


oh my god they're very very very fierce, they will be like !wah! come and you , then <mandarin>他们好打完了哦要:ta men hao da wan le o yao</mandarin> relax <mandarin>了又泡茶来:le you pao cha lai</mandarin> oh how is it oh you all did good today when they are <mandarin>超级关心:chao ji guan xin</mandarin> and stuff you know then


!wah! I don't understand very funny, but I don't know lah <mandarin>你给我那个东西我就晃来晃去:ni gei wo na ge dong xi wo jiu huang lai huang qu</mandarin> and then <mandarin>甩来甩去我不会:shuai lai shuai qu wo bu hui</mandarin> never learn, my mother don't let me learn


softball, cricket, malaysia play cricket, I know india play cricket I don't know malaysia play cricket


eh but but I don't understand cricket like if I don't understand soccer right at least I know it's twenty two people chase some, twenty people chase after the ball two people watch the net that one I understand, but if you ask me cricket I seriously don't understand


ya, ya but that's the thing you hit the bar already then somebody has to go and find the ball right ya


ya but that's the thing while they are looking for the ball, the person who's supposed to hit the ball with the bat, they are supposed to run back and forth, so there's two people running, only one person in suppose to the ball lor


only one person but two people holding the bat is running, like why got two people run, and then it's like back and forth one you know like alternate space split change place and stuff, then


the rules the rugby right I understand


maybe like don't know how to do sports lah


football what the cricket the I mean <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> cricket I mean uh rugby, the rugby too too fierce for singaporean already I tell you


why not army, , then you need to learn to tackle criminals is it


I don't know you see ah, okay so you need the ah soldiers to be very fierce what so the the right thing to play is not soccer is supposed to be rugby so they will run run run


you see that's why, so so they, then then they play what play with gun


you mean like the normal army right not not the police or anything special right, sorry they will play soccer


[orh] okay lah I mean, that's the thing they've so poor thing no nothing to play with leh, !huh!, [orh] then they at least they play something what, at least they got something to play with lah okay like so police


ya okay I mean surely there's a bit of space then they you know like if basketball they can pay half court


all go home okay got it, !aiya! okay lah but then you very Suay eh you like that if if you <mandarin>做:zuo</mandarin> army very very Suay


why eh, ah, ya


why I actually don't know what


but US <mandarin>有两个:you liang ge</mandarin> eh <mandarin>是有一个是:shi you yi ge shi</mandarin> AFL <mandarin>就是那个:jiu shi na ge</mandarin> american league football, american football league,


, , [orh] okay okay I think I got what you mean like australian had also has the same thing, the rules only apply in australia if you don't know


you don't you if you don't stay in australia long enough you probably won't understand, then, don't know what how you play the game don't know how you pass the ball you must throw and stuff then you must hit with your knuckles or something, like you must fist your hand then you hit the ball then you hold the ball you can only run how many step


that one is the kind of rules, but then, the the whole field looks the same, but then I never realised the pole is Y, it's I always thought it's a, like that I really like the H sign you know very very short at the top but then very long at the bottom but still got one line in the middle


I didn't know it's Y, maybe I never see close enough, [orh]


then then what's the difference then why got place Y why got place H one, is it so weird that means like maybe is like the rugby has that Y thing then maybe other you know other kind of rules and stuff have the H thing so is less grass


ah, okay, can ah can ah, !aiya! I don't know you should never asked me to play play ball games I will be the first one to die


serious I play soccer the ball can fly in my face one, can lah you have, seventeen seconds more, I don't know what else to say I mean, okay lah lucky we not playing ball if not confirm Tio one, I play


I play volleyball the volleyball fly in my face

no china people, china people from china, their their concept is <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> their concept is different from, what our singaporean chinese thinking


okay, china chinese uh china's people's concept, them to be, able to do much better chinese that's why <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> if you notice majority of china kids are


taking higher chinese, higher chinese, that's why she's having stress with it lah


parents what, expect more mah


(mmhmm)


so, why


(hmm), what to do, nowadays <mandarin>全部的人:quan bu de ren</mandarin> everybody is talking about chinese english


then then and then never mind, today <mandarin>今天:jin tian</mandarin> tonight today lah <mandarin>我今天去了那个:wo jin tian qu le na ge</mandarin> workshop, owner <mandarin>是一个:shi yi ge</mandarin> malay, ah, then the malay, talk to me in, english chinese, and malay


, (mmhmm)


five years, five years back, err, administrative administrator, she came from korea


ah so, uh the reason why she came here because, she can speak france, and and then <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> came to singapore work, just for this project <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> the project the my boss is actually from france


ya, ah so they purposely get someone who can know who knows france to come mah, when err when I get to know her, we


I also get a shock lah, she can adapt to singapore very fast, and then <mandarin>她:ta</mandarin> the way she talk to me, mixture of


english, and chinese and some basic ah, malay I got shocked, basic malay, ah this is a best funny part I I didn't even understand lah


but she came when I get to know her she already works in singapore for, half a month half a year


!aiya! , it's just a just a form of how you


the more you the more you you, get, closer with other big other religious the more thing you will get ah, my time <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> my time, the singlish is different from your now leh, my time singlish is what english hokkien and then many many different dialect


I went before during my first second job, I went there for a business trip mah


at Tokyo and Hokkaido, not just expensive lah you don't say expensive lah because, and I went there <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> business trip,


okay lah I still got company credit ah


, Osaka, oh Osaka is really a nice place, ah in, in let's say you see you want something very nature


you know they


the first thing is you go there ah !wah! you really like the the <mandarin>你懂:ni dong</mandarin> your whole body will get relax


not really eh, ah <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> Osaka <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> city ah, I can say or [orh] <mandarin>他不:ta bu</mandarin> not


don't <mandarin>没有那种:mei you na zhong</mandarin> feel or <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> singapore city <mandarin>这么这么:zhe me zhe me</mandarin> crowded <mandarin>这么:zhe me</mandarin> busy, ah, so it's like, if you go there you will feel much more relaxed than


many of the city area


you have to consider one thing chinatown, has a lot of old folks, if you travel uh a bit faster they may not even be able to


(mmhmm)


K lah because because, okay lah, I don't really see the the strong pace only <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> peak hour I only see, peak hour <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> feel of <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> train


crowded, because of the, population I think it's, more more to the population lah anyway


but then


okay lah, japan okay lah when they host their, when they host err


lunch or dinner ah for <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> visitor ah, !wah! I really, enjoy that one, is <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> they don't care like visitor <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> own people or is it for client or whatever


they bring you to the best food best place and all these things


quite enjoyable lah because, at first I <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> didn't know Tokyo got, very


hotel resort <mandarin>啦这些才会有:la zhe xie cai hui you</mandarin> mah, because normally, this place that those are declaration that can see the, but when I go to Tokyo ah I think I can't remember where where is it lah but one of my manager


he brought me there so, ah


and then, one of the opening open open <mandarin>上:shang</mandarin> ah, I can actually see the view of <mandarin>他那个:ta na ge</mandarin> night scene of Tokyo eh, no is like a it's not those, ground level type is actually a


err some I think is that time I took the lift, I think, we took the lift up to don't know which floor, it's a open, open window concept, so you can view the outside of the scenery, especially night time ah !whoa!


that's really <mandarin>最好看的一个:zui hao kan de yi ge</mandarin> view, of the city ah, it's not allowed


actually can lah they just so long as in <mandarin>你是在他的楼上或楼下的那个:ni shi zai ta de lou shang huo lou xia de na ge</mandarin> hotel room


it's a hotel


but you don't forget one thing ah, ten years back ah, there's no such thing as smartphone, our phone ah those <mandarin>那种以前的那种旧的:na zhong yi qian de na zhong jiu de</mandarin> Nokia <mandarin>的那种:de na zhong</mandarin> type


because I think, then korean <mandarin>的澡堂也不是在:de zao tang ye bu shi zai</mandarin> ground level ah, ah


korea <mandarin>也有很多澡堂都:ye you hen duo zao tang dou</mandarin> belongs to those uh, those are areas that <mandarin>他们没有:ta men mei you</mandarin> they don't use a lot of high building


those okay in japan in if you want compare <mandarin>他澡堂:ta zao tang</mandarin> hor you go to japan Tokyo <mandarin>的话你:de hua ni</mandarin> most of the <mandarin>澡堂:zao tang</mandarin> is, uh, I can say ah it's almost like seventy per cent or eighty percent <mandarin>都不是在:dou bu shi zai</mandarin> ground


so it's like, uh upper level where like level three and above, in Tokyo lah


, !aiya! see ah I'm waiting for chance maybe want to <mandarin>要去一趟:yao qu yi tang</mandarin> Tokyo, given the given there's a chance ah to go lah


uh no particular season lah because, the place I want to go is actually is a, , those exhibition hall, so, there's nothing to do with season


one of it is err, Tokyo'S one of the, not just Tamiya car <mandarin>他是:ta shi</mandarin> toys museum ah, they they consist of all the old toys to the latest toys


and is better than singapore toy museum, ya lor, but if you look at the now now the Tokyo now the Tokyo <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> toy's museum [orh] they have the latest toys ah


which is actually not not out in the markets where is, androids robots lor, they have also


because they have the they <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> display <mandarin>是从:shi cong</mandarin> oldest all the way to the latest, that's why they call it the toys museum there, actual location <mandarin>我还没有去:wo hai mei you qu</mandarin> spot lah I saw some friends who send me the share the photos


quite interesting lah, uh, the home of Gundam which is actually


unicorn Gundam, it's standing in front of the <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> museum


[orh] that one remove already, Taka, oh <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> uh that one is the assurance one


, no ah that time they sold mah they sold the SG fifty uh design Gundam some more, it was outside ya, it's actually normal one because they


ah who will go and do a special one for singapore to put it there, ha


some singaporean that there's a singaporean who designed <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> the first singapore Gundam


no SG fifty <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> is designed by japan, no, is a japanese who have uh came to singapore stay for almost two or three years then


we should so get the concept to, ah so the design colour colour scheme is actually follow singapore flag, so


uh seven years back, seven or eight years back already, , then


quite unique ah, merlion, ya is a merlion ah merlion, the <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> design <mandarin>是整只白色:shi zheng zhi bai se</mandarin> and then is like, the head of the merlion


(mmhmm), ya, don't need lah you just see the, the first thing you see a a fish tail an a lion head


malaysia tiger


hardly ah have ah but I can't remember I know I know there's a soccer team using a lion also, , america also quite a lot of lion


no ah don't need soccer ah those like america <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> baseball club <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> there's also a lion also


japan baseball started in, after world war two when the time, america first landed their troops in, japan


because after they after the atomic bomb case then, there's a treaty where japan will be monitored by US navy, so then then the baseball was actually brought in during that time


which what okay, reason why japanese also like, okay, baseball if you notice ah most of the baseball playing in japan


ah, ninety percent ninety five percent are all guys, and, people who play baseball, ah they also have another type of sports that they like


if you notice ah if you take note of how Kendo plays are, is almost similar as, baseball, ya if you look at it <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> the way they use the force is almost like you're


playing your baseball, ah


anyway japan, japan <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> baseball, china <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> basketball


then, err,


malaysia have a lot, have, those are rural country area


is also similar rule as like uh baseball lor


just that baseball <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> you are hitting on the top, cricket is hitting on the bottom, go and pick lor and then throwback throwback to the, midpoint lah


just that, !aiya! very hardly you get to see football


(mmhmm), I still can see them only when, police academy


I don't know I I see most of it is like police academy during my NS time I don't see any any anywhere any of my camp playing, (hmm), don't know leh, you ask me this question this stupid err this type of logical question I I uh cannot answer already lor


no lah rugby more for police to chase criminals army is tactic


one is learn hiding, that one I don't know lah, NS my my NS <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> NS time I can only remember is, I will almost all the army camp I also I I <mandarin>我都有:wo dou you</mandarin> enter enter <mandarin>过:guo</mandarin> but I don't see anybody playing rugby


or football, not even a soccer, army navy or air force, no place to play soccer


they can only play basketball, cause so far I don't see any camps have uh


anywhere that have, , field for them to play soccer, because most of the field are used for training ground, you don't forget ah monday to saturday <mandarin>都是他们:dou shi ta men</mandarin> training session


sunday, then uh, police academy weekday you can see people playing rugby also


because, last time police academy <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> thomson <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> police academy club, was located there so in front of the club <mandarin>就是那个他们的:jiu shi na ge ta men de</mandarin> field <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> field they will they, they don't use the field for physical training
