ya I know right it's like, I don't know we should blame the government or blame the one that, has the ship


is yours over one hour already, okay then you want to end now okay [lah] three two one


(hmm)


oh


like, ya lah but,


like <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> (hmm), counsel <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> err students ya so <mandarin>再续:zai xu</mandarin> err <mandarin>最近有点忙啊这个星期我见很多:zui jin you dian mang a zhe ge xing qi wo jian hen duo</mandarin> students


then <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> FLO she she gave me a lot of cases lah, then I'm happy like I finally able to see students, err in secondary school, then they share with me their problems ya so the way you counsel to young


err youngster like the teenagers is a bit different from how we counsel the adults so, so far


have to go through the emotional uh, struggles of their lost then <mandarin>不知道:bu zhi dao</mandarin> a lot of cases is like grief and lost, like financial difficulties ya as usual nothing so much


touch on COVID but I do heard parents lose their like so called, uh office jobs then that at the end err some of them work as a delivery like food delivery, uh and stuff ya


ya, ya, ya, ah, (hmm)


(hmm), [orh]


some of them may not be close with of them for example one of them is not close with their mother then have to like, err have to learn to uh build relationship with their new err like, the new relationship with her mother that kind of thing lah ya


ya, but it seems like, err without COVID right the domestic issue seems to be always there like ya like, it doesn't seems to me it's because of COVID ya it seems to be


is a, it, it will be there ya, but the main thing that affects them probably is a job lor like ya they they changed all lah they have lesser


you are asking me lah like <mandarin>怎么样去应付这些:zen me yang qu ying fu zhe xie</mandarin>


(hmm),


to actually think lah then err, to


you can try to see like the family service centre lah see where they have a counselling err


parents right do they, err do they have this similar situations like struggles like your mom seems to be, very particular in certain things, as as I hear from you, so will she, err like that all along or


is it just between COVID


of course <mandarin>会:hui</mandarin> happened lah like angry then, unhappiness, ya lah then


since err COVID <mandarin>已经让我们:yi jing rang wo men</mandarin> err <mandarin>我们的那个:wo men de na ge</mandarin> finance is in, becomes like so bad lah so


what is the point of like making us so frustrating, and, when we we should actually focus on how can we take care of our, ya something like that


!wah!


(hmm)


I think right now no harm in trying because <mandarin>我自己即使有工作:wo zi ji ji shi you gong zuo</mandarin> right <mandarin>我也是有试看想你所说啦:wo ye shi you shi kan xiang ni suo shuo la</mandarin> test that thing actually it


then <mandarin>他们也是有时候跟你讲没有工作:ta men ye shi you shi hou gen ni jiang mei you gong zuo</mandarin> then <mandarin>你没有钱:ni mei you qian</mandarin> then <mandarin>你怎么样生活:ni zen me yang sheng huo</mandarin> then <mandarin>家庭也是你不能靠你的家庭你也是讲你的父母也是:jia ting ye shi ni bu neng kao ni de jia ting ni ye shi jiang ni de fu mu ye shi</mandarin> have some financial difficulties right I don't think I don't think it's helpful lah like so you have to find a way for yourself


then that time bro like, so, uh, like, that time you told me you met this girl uh like at the coffee meets bagel ah, then, do you still talk to her now


then <mandarin>可以帮助我的韩语啦:ke yi bang zhu wo de han yu la</mandarin> ah, so apparently, I think she


, lor lah like that, like ya <mandarin>全部都出来:quan bu dou chu lai</mandarin> then <mandarin>我就觉得哇很稀奇:wo jiu jue de wa hen xi qi</mandarin> then I was like <mandarin>哇赢了咯他跟我们一样不错:wa ying liao lo ta gen wo men yi yang bu cuo</mandarin> sia then <mandarin>我就跟他讲因为就是这样我跟他讲多一点话:wo jiu gen ta jiang yin wei jiu shi zhe yang wo gen ta jiang duo yi dian hua</mandarin> then <mandarin>那时:na shi</mandarin> err <mandarin>国庆日吗:guo qing ri ma</mandarin> then


NDP then <mandarin>我们就去看那个:wo men jiu qu kan na ge</mandarin> fireworks, there like together lah that was our first meet up then we talk lah then we chit chat, discuss our future like, what are we doing like what is her job now


<mandarin>航空那里做工在一个:hang kong na li zuo gong zai yi ge</mandarin> <mandarin>美国的航空但是是在新加坡的所以他不是:mei guo de hang kong dan shi shi zai xin jia po de suo yi ta bu shi</mandarin> err <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> air stewardess but rather she she do all those booking tickets so basically she's a counter lady lah ya but she enjoyed her job ya so even


when, err she's in singapore I think she is quite blessed in a way, she has some local friends, err to give her like a place to stay lah ah the rental also is cheaper compared to the market price so I I thought that is good for her


ya so we talk then we err, I think she's very happy that I know korean so she also praised me about my korean lah because, I think I uh I learned well then like very good


then quite fluent, ya then err also lah then we, (hmm) she, she also said that she some more don't have a lot of korean friends she can turn to lah she also encourage me to speak korean to her so that she can


so called reserved <mandarin>他的那个韩文:ta de na ge han wen</mandarin> ya so something like that lah, then do you still, meet the, nurse like the just now you say the video call or something


ya, ya


(hmm), (hmm)


err <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> like, I think it depends lah because some people maybe more comfortable with


crowd together even recently !wah! especially recently like #toa payoh# then the some of the park !wah! filled up with people even orchard road I saw the news !wah! I'm quite shocked also like see to see so so many people like like <mandarin>国人就是:guo ren jiu shi</mandarin> like even <mandarin>国人:guo ren</mandarin> eh not just foreigners okay like then they stuck there then I was like okay lor then like err


they like they all fail to adhere to the laws like when I then I think, I think these have to be responsible lah it's it's it's not nice know so


relationship like that lah otherwise you virtually meet friends it's not a, it's not real lor, ya especially nowadays got a lot of people like do like err ghosting you understand ghosting right ya <mandarin>就是突然间不见:jiu shi tu ran jian bu jian</mandarin> ya so face to face meet then at least you get the gist like is it this person you want to spend time more with


so that will be


I mean <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> video conference like that talk to each other because it's restricted right so we can't possibly meet anyone


ya but thanks to phase two then managed to really see face to face with my students even the, err parents teachers ya so initially was a struggle, because err not a lot of them were receptive


ya especially online counselling, but I will advocate for online counselling lah like whether is it messaging, online texting and, face to face conference, ya I thought it was a good platform that


the, our locals err should explore lah ya


more ya but whereas if you ask them to do face to face virtual


they may not be, equipped like in terms of IT stuff, so they might not err, then they will feel a bit weird also because it's new I mean everyone will have a new experience lah but eventually so far they are doing well ya because in their mindset I think the government always given give the propaganda like that you have to


if you want to keep up with the society need to learn IT need to be equipped otherwise you will lose lose out right I think that that's where they had their truly training accustoming, to the new err era lah ya whereas


for my students they are so they are actually pretty good at it because, ya so it's


rather than like just face to face talk, they rather actually they rather text you, talk to you online typing, than see you face to face because some of them I don't think it's just shy


rather they probably uh they, err, they will be more comfortable at first lah online before they meet you, so far that is a situation I see, ya


(hmm)


(hmm), ah, ya


was it do you feel safe because you are contained in the, cinema even though the number is little


(hmm), [orh]


okay great but you okay, so like what you say you exercise cycle uh then, I heard also from news they say actually, if we run right


COVID is actually air, will spread, through the


didn't get COVID anyway right, ya then you also exercise cycle


then you talk about cinema ah, I think (hmm) actually I Iike wanted to watch certain movies with my friends, but I think that time, uh didn't have opportunities because I was very busy, then like I


I just , ya I think soon I will


oh then maybe we can watch together lah then like ya so but the the problem is uh <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> bro <mandarin>我要我要去看那个:wo yao wo yao qu kan na ge</mandarin> train to Busan first the first season, ya the first


ya the so the first first one I have to watch so that, at least I get the idea lah ya so maybe after I watch then I'll ask you out then we will go watch the err movie, err


where


how come you know so many things one ah


[orh]


then


no but just now you mentioned one particular what is that, [orh], you forget ah


oh yes, correct


I think it's a good way of like saving money in a sense, but the problem is I don't even, then I don't think is , I think it's really


so far I don't really see males into this thus far I not too sure if they do


maybe the girlfriend will do then they will have to help, so, I think, uh, they they also say lah like by planting, these plants right they will give you err good, err oxygen at your house you can breathe well


so in a way, it's technically it's right right because if you are near a plants, you will get a good breather


so sorry wait, just now you mentioned that right I mean I (ppc) sorry, ya <mandarin>收到:shou dao</mandarin> then err, like


right


your your mum involved, [orh] right


so like planting <mandarin>植物:zhi wu</mandarin> then <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> (ppc) sounds like a good hobby lah they


ya okay lah so <mandarin>你刚才讲他们没有东西做:ni gang cai jiang ta men mei you dong xi zuo</mandarin> this seems like they're actually helping the foreigners by giving them a mask through that stitching right


I mean, at the same time you also mentioned like planting, then but the difficult part is you cannot have the meat like in singapore then you have to then you want to be you want to be a vegetarian or not do you do you foresee yourself being a vegetarian


so healthy leh like it really depends because some of their food made of flour if you going to go full vegetarian right means you have to eat like pure veg all those that will be the healthiest choice then do you know egg actually is not veg it's a


like protein then, for animals that's why I assume is not veg thing I remember you like to eat egg then you sure you want to follow


like because err technically I have a friend she also initiate was she saw the how the animals were killed lah in a video then ya will like started became a vegetarian


but at the end, after maybe about six months she couldn't take it so at the end she came back to eat meat again then I like like so funny then but the funny thing is she said okay she eat meat but she don't eat, all kind of meats she only eat fish fish as only a meat source


then hor like I think the so they they have this term describe them I think they called pescatarian you heard before ya ya ya so basically (ppc) so pescatarian basically is like you only eat fish as the meat and eat other veg lah ya so I like what the then it's like quite interesting lor


then so I was wondering when you say vegetarian right it's actually quite difficult unless you are really determined because since young you have growing up like eat meat what so you suddenly change your diet it may take err, really grit, unless you are very gritty then you can go through that


but it's it's not that bad idea because, err, if you really don't basically if you want to be vegetarian right <mandarin>你不要吃那些:ni bu yao chi nei xie</mandarin> flour based <mandarin>的食物就:de shi wu jiu</mandarin> should be okay ah ya correct, because I think quite healthy


because I believe fasting also may help also ya I remember people told me fasting actually help you to just stop consuming food that make you feel better first, ya, so fasting


what the sounds unreal but, err like, cause so far when we hear like, processed food right different I only know the KFC right then they will like inject the <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> chicken ya the


veganburg right ya ya <mandarin>像是:xiang shi</mandarin> eh so when you eat right really


uh not so not that bad so uh still edible, ya, so <mandarin>可以吃:ke yi chi</mandarin> lah basically ya then , these new food seems to contain a lot of different proteins like minerals like you know


uh good, cause I think that's what the future, I mean this era is trying to do lah that's why I also consume like you know the omega, omega three ya ya the fish oil ya so according to them right actually the fish oil is err good it contains more like


err what do you call that, uh I forgot what is it basically brain food lah <mandarin>对咯:dui lo</mandarin> ya, but there's a side effect because I know that if you, consume more than two right, without eating any meals


then <mandarin>你没有听到日本的:ni mei you ting dao ri ben de</mandarin> I thought <mandarin>日本:ri ben</mandarin> they are even


also quite advanced, no leh for me so far I haven't heard anything from japan site unless you really can recommend to, to me but so far milton quality okay anyway since we are talking about <mandarin>美国你觉得美国她们的政府控制:mei guo ni jue de mei guo ta men de zheng fu kong zhi </mandarin> took a COVID the case <mandarin>好不好:hao bu hao</mandarin> because you if you think about it now [orh] even though


I mean for government all I know is that <mandarin>他们做东西:ta men zuo dong xi</mandarin> right it's not like they will, err like have to focus on one thing and leave out others lah because they they've to do things simultaneously, then what happen is probably what you what they need is to


ya prioritised err <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> which one to deal with which is like what you say lor there is an increase in COVID cases for them ya


err <mandarin>所以:suo yi</mandarin>


sometimes you look at them they feel like actually they they they seems to be like a god that kind of thing on the screen they they saw one thing everyone have to listen, so a bit err out of control I feel ya so, sometimes I feel our government is good lor like they give us control it's so that we will not go overboard ya ya but sometimes also feel bad for ourselves as a citizen where like you know


, we lack certain err speech of freedom ya like, but so far (hmm) getting better I mean, touching on the topic like on COVID right, I feel like they should just


err, learn to listen to the government you know, there's a limitation for freedom of speech lah if you go overboard


ya it's like, I don't know , it's like you can breathe just that they find it Leceh they find it like like <mandarin>就是不舒服:jiu shi bu shu fu</mandarin> then they will call it like, don't I don't want means !wah! find any reasons to counter it lah


ya but to be fair like I see their celebrities also ah like their try to influence people lah telling them it's important to wear mask and I I thanked the celebrities because through them right a lot ah


I think a lot of their locals also learn to listen lah because usually celebrities err famous one they have influence power ya ya so I I I love certain influencers like such as them lah because (ppc) they they want the good for society


and they they know it's important to wear mask because they don't wear mask there's a increase of cases then I noticed because recently I heard from people lah or or even the news that, ya some of them started to wear lah then the case is not as bad as before but it's still quite high because it's always been spreading already so it's quite ridiculous even in korea also I see the cases


!wah! because of one pastor right then they tell the rest err to follow then everyone suffer ya so it's because of the influence power so you really you need to have good influencer lor in our society to tell err the good thing


yes, ya lor, vaccine ah they keep saying and then , ya, not not end of the year exactly like they they will say extend to next year then may be three years later


but they keep saying coming out coming out testing testing, but the fact is I feel like , , we not too sure lor every time they say ya coming coming but everyone waiting waiting waiting like sheeps are getting slaughtered like don't know when will come out


ya so a lot of us worried lah like wondering,


, ya ya, ya ya ya


ya maybe will, we'll have to wait lor no choice as citizen unless you go study lah, ya that's all lah eh bro I think maybe you can go lah I hungry already okay


okay, so for me actually err recently


uh observe the social distancing rule for me personally I feel scared so


correct and you know ah <mandarin>你跟他们讲他们的脸黑黑的有有有些:ni gen ta men jiang ta men de lian hei hei de you you you xie</mandarin> uncle auntie hor <mandarin>他们是:ta men shi</mandarin> they will give you the face ah you know the black face I'm sure you observe that lah bro


梦, [orh] okay okay


so are your students affected by <mandarin>这些政府的:zhe xie zheng fu de</mandarin> uh COVID measures, oh okay


correct since you touched on this topic about err COVID measures affecting err <mandarin>我们新加坡人:wo men xin jia po ren</mandarin> correct so actually I want to ask you because I also have err my cousins uh recently <mandarin>他们做工他们被:ta men zuo gong ta men bei</mandarin> ah retrenched so you see all these although although you mentioned earlier that err the COVID measures didn't affect so much of these people but


there are also a lot of like my cousins were affected by the job loss then <mandarin>很多他们:hen duo ta men</mandarin> hor <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> have this kind of uh suicidal thoughts


so <mandarin>你现在说家里的问题:ni xian zai shuo jia li de wen ti</mandarin> there will you will see a rise in these cases lah from all these uh domestic issues


okay


because for me this COVID this COVID issue affect <mandarin>我的家庭:wo de jia ting</mandarin> so I see a lot of err friction and conflicts in my household lah so maybe you since you are a counsel you should be counselling me


okay so uh just give you a recent scenario in the, in a recent past so err my mom and dad


I would say there's a stark increase ah in the frequency of when they <mandarin>吵架:chao jia</mandarin> so the <mandarin>他们会吵:ta men hui chao</mandarin> err <mandarin>钱不够用的:qian bu gou yong de</mandarin> issues and then they will argue about all the very err small inconsequential things at home lah, ah <mandarin>我的爸爸回来:wo de ba ba hui lai</mandarin> because he drives grab so when he comes back from work he sits on the chair


then my mother will come and say, you know your your your clothing <mandarin>你的衣服:ni de yi fu</mandarin> ah <mandarin>不干净不要乱乱坐这边坐那边:bu gan jing bu yao luan luan zuo zhe bian zuo na bian</mandarin> and then he will get frustrated you see so everybody becomes more short tempered,


so I want to know if there's any way you know we can err speak to our parents or <mandarin>我们的家人跟他们讲劝他们:wo men de jia ren gen ta men jiang quan ta men</mandarin> ah you know encourage them to be more tolerant


ya correct lor


yes I speak to my parents I try to <mandarin>跟他们讲:gen ta men jiang</mandarin> you know <mandarin>要冷静冷静:yao leng jing leng jing</mandarin> because uh we all understand COVID everybody is more frustrated <mandarin>因为也是:yin wei ye shi</mandarin> everybody the earning power is is decreased because in one way or another they are affected <mandarin>因为工作吗:yin wei gong zuo ma</mandarin> you know you know <mandarin>你们的:ni men de</mandarin> salary ah like my mother's affected by the uh uh


err has a pay cut lah although she's lucky that she did not get retrenched but you know pay cut this kind of thing so everybody lose uh becomes lose their patience so for me I mean I tried to speak to my parents err, when it comes to things uh like that at home


I don't understand why even though I tried to speak to them so often they don't they don't they don't actually listen they hear me but they don't listen <mandarin>他们他们:ta men ta men</mandarin> hor


(hmm) correct correct


so for my mother, err she says that she's not actually very sure


ya so I suppose that my mum is err feeling pressured because of the, err, loss of purchasing power lah on her part and then for my dad ya I think it's probably because when you drive grab you come back home you are tired so he tends to, err in the house <mandarin>他会坐这边坐那边他:ta hui zuo zhe bian zuo na bian ta</mandarin> he will try to remember but he's not mindful so at times he will forget and he will and <mandarin>他他会:ta ta hui</mandarin> just


so for me, at the moment, ya, so for me that that is my thoughts at the moment (hmm) do you think it's a good idea or do you can you refer me to any ah


, resource within my neighborhood


yes, err I only see this behaviour surface in her during the COVID pandemic <mandarin>以前他不是这样的他是很随便:yi qian ta bu shi zhe yang de ta shi hen sui bian</mandarin> you know ya around the house so all these ah that that definitely is err


a stresser from somewhere that <mandarin>影响他咯:ying xiang ta lo</mandarin> because this is what I observed but anyway since uh since you are talking about this err what about you for your family do you have any err troubles at home since you are a counsellor I'm sure you're able to handle your family affairs err err <mandarin>比较好跟我们这些普通人:bi jiao hao gen wo men zhe xie pu tong ren</mandarin> err managed better than us


ah


ah then <mandarin>有有些是他们会爆炸啦:you you xie shi ta men hui bao zha la</mandarin> because of this reason


correct


okay okay eh thanks for your insight lah bro for me ah since since we touched on the topic of finance also !wah! for me recently ah you know ah for me personally I mean you are working at as a you have a experience as a counsellor doing your job there for me I'm working a few part time jobs so <mandarin>我我我有我有做:wo wo wo you wo you zuo</mandarin> err <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> err <mandarin>服务的:fu wu de</mandarin> part part time jobs err


F&B food and beverage, all these services to my clients and recently ya because of all these err COVID situation I've been actually very badly affected bro so


err , err, cut in my, my my salary because some of my clients now <mandarin>他们说:ta men shuo</mandarin> ah COVID <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> situation <mandarin>你不要来我不需要你现在:ni bu yao lai wo bu xu yao ni xian zai</mandarin> (hmm) so for me because it's kind of like I'm a freelancer I only can fall back on my food and beverage job but also I'm getting less frequency because as you know


err shopping malls <mandarin>现在没有很多人:xian zai mei you hen duo ren</mandarin> then <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> err, err


ah, where where where can I go and get help


ya so actually ah recently uh one of these err


all these are these people they sent me a


so so what do you recommend bro, should I try out or should I just uh, wait wait out the the pandemic to to you know the effects to to to blow over and then everything resumes back to normal and just go back to my old jobs


oh ya so since we're on the topic of dating err my love life actually has been quite barren, there's nothing there's no hardly any activity but <mandarin>最近:zui jin</mandarin> err because of the COVID situation I've been using all these ah


all these err application <mandarin>网上去找:wang shang qu zhao</mandarin> so err recently I met this girl

correct correct

ya it's an action packed show so, so for me err okay if you are asking about that uh


whether I'm I feel safe or not so far I feel safe that's why I'm willing to go <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> err <mandarin>我看他们那个:wo kan ta men na ge</mandarin> cinema <mandarin>他们有做那个:ta men you zuo na ge</mandarin> social distancing so<mandarin>我坐一个:wo zuo yi ge</mandarin> uh

[orh] okay okay


okay


yes correct, [orh] okay


okay so for me right I realize err <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> COVID <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> situation hor <mandarin>的的心情:de de xin qing</mandarin> !huh! <mandarin>我有我有有些新的:wo you wo you you xie xin de</mandarin> hobbies ya I've some one


we having a lot of problems with err finances so so by growing my own produce you know <mandarin>我我可以帮我的家庭省钱:wo wo ke yi bang wo de jia ting sheng qian</mandarin> because we are eating our own err produce you see we only need to get the staple ingredients like rice and noodles but <mandarin>那个菜菜了料这些啊我们可以自己种吗:na ge cai cai liao liao zhe xie a wo men ke yi zi ji zhong ma</mandarin> except for meat lah because you know we can't rear our own pigs and chickens in the house in singapore so so for for for what <mandarin>肉我们需要还是要去巴刹买:rou wo men xu yao hai shi yao qu ba sha mai</mandarin> ya but okay so <mandarin>我自己现在有有这个新的:wo zi ji xian zai you you zhe ge xin de</mandarin> err interest in <mandarin>种花啦种花种这些:zhong hua la zhong hua zhong zhe xie</mandarin> err <mandarin>水果啦东西:shui guo la dong xi</mandarin> ya so so <mandarin>我跟我的爸爸我我拉他啦一起跟我去做因为我的家楼下有那个好像一个:wo gen wo de ba ba wo wo la ta la yi qi gen wo qu zuo yin wei wo de jia lou xia you na ge hao xiang yi ge</mandarin> garden ah


(hmm) so, no my mum is not involved because my mum is err she's still working busy with her work ya just that she had a pay cut but she's busy with her work still so only me and my father lah so uh I also try to encourage <mandarin>我的阿嬷阿公:wo de a ma a gong</mandarin> you know <mandarin>去做这种:qu zuo zhe zhong</mandarin> err planting because for elderlies they they they they they


they are old they can't do much and their interests also they


ya <mandarin>我的妈我的阿公阿嬷也是做那那种:wo de ma wo de a gong a ma ye shi zuo na na zhong</mandarin> stitching you know they err help because now COVID situation for mask they stitch the mask to uh donate to those organisations <mandarin>他们会:ta men hui</mandarin> uh


ya lor , my dad my dad , !wow! ya speaking about that there are also health benefits you know being a vegetarian so so I might contemplate lah and then I will also get to save enough money mah and then it is also one of my aspirations to you know to to go meat free


ya to to not to not have, err err consume any ah, like get any protein or vitamin sources from animal sources because ya I think it's quite cruel lah to always, be eating meat you know because we are not really exposed to how they are being slaughtered in the abattoir and things like that so


if I can <mandarin>我是要:wo shi yao</mandarin> err <mandarin>换我的:huan wo de</mandarin> diet to a vegetarian diet


obtain err complete proteins so <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> uh for <mandarin>我自己啦我还是会吃鸡蛋啊可是我不会:wo zi ji la wo hai shi hui chi ji dan a ke shi wo bu hui</mandarin> <mandarin>去吃肉啦肉我是不会吃啦如果如果我可以换我的:qu chi rou la rou wo shi bu hui chi la ru guo ru guo wo ke yi huan wo de</mandarin> diet so okay lah <mandarin>我我是会考虑啦考虑现在是我:wo wo shi hui kao lv la kao lv xian zai shi wo</mandarin> I know you know it's not like set in stone that I will I will I will convert to a vegetarian at the moment but what do you think about uh vegetarian guys


(hmm)


pescatarian uh <mandarin>我没有听过:wo mei you ting guo</mandarin> leh, [orh] okay


fasting <mandarin>有有有自己的好处:you you you zi ji de hao chu</mandarin> ya <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> and <mandarin>有自己的好处:you zi ji de hao chu</mandarin> correct there are health benefits and eh <mandarin>我要问你你有听过那个:wo yao wen ni ni you ting guo na ge</mandarin> err , err now they have this err meat substitute where they where there's actually companies <mandarin>在美国:zai mei guo</mandarin> hor <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> manufacture meat


but these are actually not uh genuine meat but they manufacture meat and it's they are not flour as well they're made from some ah I think in the, uh those scientists ah <mandarin>他们有做那个:ta men you zuo na ge</mandarin> research <mandarin>他们找到一个方法:ta men zhao dao yi ge fang fa</mandarin> to manufacture meat that is ready


uh like meat, in in in many ways lah it's it's really like meat but it's not exactly ah, made of flour not your typical current err vegetarian type of food that we, so <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> meat


uh


ah <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> share hor <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> meat, really really taste like meat and also it uh contains most of the vitamins and proteins that you can actually get, uh from real meat sources, so so for you will you go and try this or not


(hmm) (hmm)


, ah okay okay


I I wouldn't I <mandarin>我我不会说是一个:wo wo bu hui shuo shi yi ge</mandarin> technology lah <mandarin>是一个新的:shi yi ge xin de</mandarin> way <mandarin>方法:fang fa</mandarin> of, err manufacturing meat and it sounds like <mandarin>是假的:shi jia de</mandarin> the the <mandarin>是假的:shi jia de</mandarin> of processed meat but it's not because they they is made in the lab so they actually have err ways to


to I mean they already did the research to uh, uh you know to check and and review for <mandarin>那那些:na nei xie</mandarin> side effects lah <mandarin>会影响我们的的:hui ying xiang wo men de de</mandarin> health hor <mandarin>他们已经做那个:ta men yi jing zuo na ge</mandarin> very intensive uh research so <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> result conclusion hor <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> that <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> uh


fake meat lah you can put it that way, err


based on current studies lor


[orh], (hmm) (hmm) (hmm)


(hmm), [orh] oh okay supplements is it


okay okay


ya it's just that it's not shown yet lah <mandarin>在在我们心中的时间啦:zai zai wo men xin zhong de shi jian la</mandarin> this current time


US has a lot of all these ah good technologies of advancements in meat production and and and in their IT sector and what so weapons sector you know but <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> they don't seem to be able to <mandarin>控制他们的:kong zhi ta men de</mandarin> COVID cases <mandarin>好:hao</mandarin> you see you look at US now is is far beyond any other country that has the most number of COVID cases


so you think that the the US government should should do a better job and focus more of their resources in controlling this epidemic in their country


(hmm) correct


(hmm) okay


yes <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> because <mandarin>有些人在美国:you xie ren zai mei guo</mandarin> hor <mandarin>他们他们不要穿口罩:ta men ta men bu yao chuan kou zhao</mandarin> you know <mandarin>我觉得这个是很:wo jue de zhe ge shi hen</mandarin> ridiculous you know


, and they even protest this movement by the government to implement uh a a law to actually wear the mask


ah okay


ya ya I agree with that


must have the right knowledge also to to before they you know before they influence and tell people what to do you see


they keep predicting about end of the year right ya


correct correct, ya correct, err came up with the news <mandarin>他们自己:ta men zi ji</mandarin> claim that <mandarin>他们有这个药了这个:ta men you zhe ge yao liao zhe ge</mandarin> vaccine to to err cure COVID I think these are the countries one of them is uh ah no not china but russia <mandarin>你有听过:ni you ting guo</mandarin> right <mandarin>在网上:zai wang shang</mandarin> ya on the internet or and all you can find the articles that russia claimed <mandarin>他们有这个:ta men you zhe ge</mandarin> vaccine yup


but I'm not too sure about that lah whether we can <mandarin>我们会相信:wo men hui xiang xin</mandarin> russia mah <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> they also have their own interests at heart you see they just want to sell it it's not safe and nobody knows you see, (hmm) correct lor what you said is true


(hmm) okay [lor], okay let's wrap up the conversation [lah] okay I'll see you again


err


oh what is that, so basically right okay as actually united skills are is actually err


!wah! so good ah, then how much do you have to pay in the end


oh !wah! err but I'm only twenty three years old so I'm still <mandarin>很年轻:hen nian qing</mandarin> so I do not have skillsfuture funds yet


oh speaking of work how's your work going


oh ya


and, although on the other hand I heard that a lot of people have lost their jobs like


and like they lost their jobs so that's quite sad for them, err thankfully for me I was able to keep my job in, err in Tuas ah I work in Tuas, and it's very far from where I stay which is in #paya lebar#


ya so I'm very lucky to be able to keep my job as an essential worker, and I guess since I'm young I'm still able to learn and, grow more and earn money for my university fundings


ya that's what I think too so when we are young we still have to work hard lor for our future and try to earn as much money as we can before we get retrenched in the future


or or so that we can you know like retire peacefully with our children, and get our own houses


err ya that's true but what I think is that , I think they will open the borders very soon as I saw from the news and I see that people in other countries us are able to <mandarin>出国了:chu guo le</mandarin> already and like people in london


ya, ya ya err, but I wouldn't feel safe going overseas as you heard from the, the recent news the plane crashed when it first started taking off and I felt very bad for those people who perished and they thought they could like you know go back to <mandarin>探亲:tan qin</mandarin> or like go back to their family but in the end they still perished in the the crash


err ya it's the one in the news <mandarin>没有看新闻:mei you kan xin wen</mandarin> meh


ah ya I am not very sure lah <mandarin>忘记:wang ji</mandarin> Liao


oh ya I would like to go to, JB, ya or KL ya


oh right I remember when I was young I went to this italian place with my family


then my father will always order like pasta and chicken but, ever since he turn vegetarian he only eat <mandarin>素菜:su cai</mandarin> and stuff, so we didn't really we weren't really able to eat meats with him anymore so that's a pity


but I'm able to go now with my boyfriend


ah ya, err recently I find that, you should keep a close circle of friends instead of having many friends


err ya that's because like, when you're older you feel that, having many friends isn't as, as important as it used to be, ya, so I used to have a best friend, who I was very close to whom I thought was very close to me


err ya, so we were like <mandarin>邻居:lin ju</mandarin> lor so we stayed near each other, I used to go to school and back from school with her, and we used to visit each other's houses as well, so I know her mother


and I always called her <mandarin>伯母:bo mu</mandarin> and, and ya and her father also they're all very nice people and we will eat together, for dinner, and in the end I felt that she drifted apart from me when she made new friends


so that was very sad , and I decided to cut her out from my life


err I think there must be a basic like <mandarin>尊重:zun zhong</mandarin> lor available and


like sometimes you should always do not expect anything in return lah, just try to do what you are, what you think is right by yourself, and just hope that they treat you with respect lor, ya


ya I thought that my friend was like going to be someone who


I will be very close to for the rest of my life and then she'll be my bridesmaid and stuff but, I guess that's not the case now but right now I have a few other friends that are, kind of feeling that spot, ya so that's very good lor


people come and go lah just met, just matters err to keep the people who are close to you closer, and your enemies even closer


ya that's quite true and also the thing that, uh with enrolling in private universities is that it's harder to find friends, like you don't have orientation to go to together, like look at NUS NTU


they always have those very big orientation camps, and for private universities you don't really have that, so I guess it's harder to make friends now


ya so, (hmm)


(hmm) my favourite countries are, actually I've never been to many countries lah the first time I took a plane was to japan, you know uh, err that was for my poly graduation, kind of trip


and , ya I went there with my my poly mates and I I find that was the most fun I have, I've ever had in asia


err, all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, right, so what I think is that you should usually you should try to take some time off for yourself sometimes and maybe <mandarin>出国散散心:chu guo san san xin</mandarin> lor


ah so I went for to japan it was actually an exchange trip lah not not really a graduation trip but it was kind of mixed, err so I made many japanese friends, there and we also went to err to a lot of those typical tourist spots to


take a lot of nice pictures and stuff, uh ya, and I made a lot of new friends there as well so, err I even found someone that has the same birthday as me, who was one year younger than me, so that was pretty cool


and I tried a lot of dishes there as well


err no


okay


ya actually I spent a bomb there err personally I would never go to vietnam because <mandarin>我是一个很爱干净的人所以我觉那边的厕所会有点肮脏:wo shi yi ge hen ai gan jing de ren suo yi wo jue na bian de ce suo hui you dian ang zang</mandarin> so I don't really like that I'm a clean freak, and I I hate dirty toilets I hate using dirty toilets I hate stepping in dirty toilets


ya, so and hygiene is quite important to me like food hygiene I wouldn't want to get a stomach upset from eating food and then having to stay in a hotel for ages, just to get over the upset stomach, ya so japan is a place where I really love because have you heard of the heated seats the heated toilet seats they are so awesome so I went to this err college in japan and the first time I sat on the seat I was so marvelled it felt like someone has sat there before you but you know it is not the case


, oh yes <mandarin>我觉得钱不是万能的:wo jue de qian bu shi wan neng de</mandarin> but with money you can do a lot more than, than without money so like travelling having a good life starting a business


uh I love seafood actually, but recently I have developed an allergy to it so that's very sad and I'll get rashes everytime I eat seafood, I have been trying to get them under control by eating medications but it doesn't seem to work and I don't really know which exact seafood is the one causing it because sometimes I get the rashes sometimes I don't so that's very sad I've been to the doctors as well but they were unable to pinpoint the situation


ya, but I don't really like to eat err <mandarin>螃蟹:pang xie</mandarin> because I hate the peeling process, and ya I just like to eat the, the the meat that people peel for me, especially for prawns as well


ya so that's an important criteria when I'm looking for a boyfriend, just kidding ha so funny


ya I think so as well because hundred dollars you are paying for the weight of the crab including the shell so it doesn't confirm like how much grams of meat you are getting in the in the crab itself, so that's why I don't really like crab I've never really eaten much crab in my life actually I think it's just a so-so thing my favourite


shellfish is actually like prawns or crayfish, ya


oh yes actually I would really like to go to go for Mookata because there are people who will help you peel and that's what I really like


about Mookatas so recently I've gone for my birthday celebration which err spanned across like around three days and I stayed at Sentosa cove the hotel there, it was a very luxurious experience with <mandarin>浴缸:yu gang</mandarin> as well


so I was very happy about that, and we went for two Mookatas and, the first Mookata they had the I went to was the cheese story at golden mile


uh ya so that I don't have to peel it myself and we requested for many plates of the crayfish, (hmm)


ya, but err ya my my boyfriend paid for it so I was very happy about that and there's also unlimited cheese dip which consists of like nacho cheese and I think like, mozzarella cheese, ya so that was pretty nice but ya the prices are quite expensive I guess unless you eat a lot of seafood


uh well I don't know I don't really know if it's worth it lah I guess it's not bad, if you have a big appetite, ya


ya and there's a lot of <mandarin>高胆固醇:gao tan gu chun</mandarin> as well so you have to be careful and try not to eat too much in one go lah


it's at golden mile complex, oh I guess because we you know


we have different price points that we usually pay for our food so you think it's more affordable I think it's a, it's a once in a while thing as compared to like you know one part one plate of chicken rice like <mandarin>鸡饭:ji fan</mandarin> you know


oh ya things are especially fun when you are with your friends cause they know you well they know inside out you can talk about them like random jokes, ya so recently right err I went for the birthday celebration, and it was very fun around Sentosa cove even though I didn't really visit USS I think it's a waste of money actually because it's so expensive and you have to queue for a long time especially halloween horror nights you have to pay like


ninety dollars total for the tickets and then most of the time it's queueing and then one horror house is like maybe fifteen minutes and that's it, so it's basically not worth anything, err ya you are just paying yourself eh you are just paying people to scare you so that's a bit stupid lah


err if it's me I wouldn't go there


ya so if you are feeling <mandarin>闷:men</mandarin> at home right what you can do is actually play games, and if you want to cry you can watch a drama you know they've a lot of korean dramas online nowadays you can watch netflix there's a lot of cool movies <mandarin>小孩不笨:xiao hai bu ben</mandarin> and <mandarin>跑吧孩子:pao ba hai zi</mandarin> which are quite new and also ah boys to men right


so you should support local and I think you should watch like our movies our home based movies, by local local actors and directors ya, and maybe you can pick up a skill or two at home if you are bored


err maybe you can learn how to cook to sing, to draw to paint, so recently I bought some DIY paint kits and they come with like paint brushes and, and you know paint


which are quite cheap I guess like maybe three dollars for one canvas, err ya so it's called paint by numbers so, uh you paint according to the numbers that they give you which are like the numbers represent like each colour


so and after you are done it looks quite Atas so, ya so be sure to decline them if you are not good at art


instead of staying at home because <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> hor <mandarin>如果我在家:ru guo wo zai jia</mandarin> hor <mandarin>我每天在家我会:wo mei tian zai jia wo hui</mandarin> do a lot of online shopping and then err I will <mandarin>花很多钱:hua hen duo qian</mandarin> out of my paycheck and you know now that I've I'm starting my university I have to set aside a sum of money to pay for my university bills and ya thankfully I don't have other bills like car bills like my boyfriend does


oh ya I think so too parking fees are really expensive in singapore especially if you park at shopping centres can go up to like six dollars eh <mandarin>一次六块:yi ci liu kuai</mandarin> eh


and depends if you pay per entry or per hour I think it's all very expensive, err ya although I really like my boyfriend's car it's a vintage car and a lot of people stare at it when we drive across the streets and stuff so we've driven to Geylang before only once we ate some lame #wanton mee# which was kinda


err famous but I don't really like it, ya I waited quite long for it about forty five minutes so, err <mandarin>很可惜:hen ke xi</mandarin> lor it wasn't that nice, err uh I forgot already it wasn't very very memorable so


err maybe like quail egg <mandarin>鹌鹑蛋:an chun dan</mandarin> you know


what I really like in dim sum restaurants are the <mandarin>小笼包:xiao long bao</mandarin> and the #har gow#, uh ya that's usually what I order they have like some mango prawn Popiah thing that that's not too bad also so these are the few things I'll order, so speaking of dim sum right


I used to not like roasted pork stuff because I feel that it's like it's not really my thing ya I don't really eat meat, err I only eat like beef and chicken I guess, yes


err but recently I have started to go out of my comfort zone and try more new food such as sashimi, and usually when I go to sushi places , ya I shouldn't be brought to sushi places because I used to not eat sashimi so that was a very waste of money if I were to go for a sushi buffet


ya this around this few years, err so I started to eat I really love sashimi so I'm making up for lost time even though I'm allergic to seafood but sometimes sashimi doesn't really give me


the allergic reaction which is why I'm so confused about my allergy about what I'm allergic to so I really need to get an allergy test done soon


, oh have you heard about the #don don donki# parasites or like worms found in the sashimi


that is insane I guess it's because like of the way they store their, their packet goods, ya so like there's a lot of human interaction sometimes they don't put it back on the shelves after taking it


ya I really like #don don donki# actually I used to frequent them for their sashimi and like a lot of their japanese goods


err not really I don't think I would want to marry someone that is a foreigner because uh it's hard to settle all the proceedings and if I wanna stay in japan or are they coming to singapore to stay


and also I heard that japanese men always like to make their wives do a lot of the, the chores which I hate doing chores hate washing dishes and stuff, so ya


uh I guess since we recently just started only, I actually I've known my boyfriend for around two years


ya we work together ones but we're not working together anymore, err ya my boyfriend is a very nice person actually and I haven't introduced him to my parents and family members yet so probably soon


oh yes I really do love hotpots actually uh I used to go for those <mandarin>火锅:huo guo</mandarin> buffets


and err with my ex and then we always eat a lot of this like kind of #shabu shabu# at #shabu sai#, ya so that's very nice I really like to spam all the meat into the soup I hate putting vegetables in my soup cause I don't like to eat vegetables


ya so I usually eat the beef, ya I'm a <mandarin>牛肉:niu rou</mandarin> person so that's what I really liked about, #shabu sai# that they get like they give you thin cuts of meats, ya but sometimes they're very fatty so you have to watch out


ya <mandarin>食立方:shi li fang</mandarin> is quite err a relatively cheap place to go to but , I'm not very sure is there like a lot of hidden charges actually, so sometimes I is I end up paying a lot more than I I thought I had to pay so that was quite sad


and I one place I really love is <mandarin>海底捞:hai di lao</mandarin> I've only been there once sadly because their prices are so steep, but the things are quite worth it they give you a lot of things and you can request from them like ziploc bags rubber band, ya there's this sudoku challenge that if you complete the challenge when after you are done waiting


that you get a free dish or something like that, for money I guess, although like the meats and, whatever toppings you want to add it's very expensive, ya


so I think that I will be asking my brother out for a meal with my boyfriend so, to introduce them together, ya


, but ya you can always ask me out, and I will bring my boyfriend along, so we can all be <mandarin>好朋友:hao peng you</mandarin> and


yes we'll all be good friends together, uh you can also bring the family members but that will be more than six, that will be more than five people which is the maximum I think


ya oh speaking of this COVID situation I had a swab test done recently and , that was after my birthday celebration and I think it's because I ate too much Mookata, I ate it two times within the course of like three days so


well I tried to drink a lot of <mandarin>凉茶:liang cha</mandarin> but I don't think it worked, well , then I couldn't sleep on monday and I had to work the next day so I tried to get an MC for that


ya but I didn't know that the symptoms I listed out were actually symptoms of COVID nineteen, ya lor <mandarin>很不幸:hen bu xing</mandarin> and I had to do it the next day because I went to the doctor's late


and so the doctor will insert like this long swab stick into your nasal cavity which hurt the hell out of me and I started crying the first time it like swabbed my nose, my nasal cavity so it hit me at the back of my throat so that was terrible and I started sneezing a lot as well a lot of mucus came out so the whole day I was sick after that


err with flu I I do not know why, err for the rest of the day, when I didn't even really have the, the flu symptoms of the runny nose


so that was quite irritating, I believe it was caused by the bad swabbing, have you ever done a swab test bernard


ya what I think is that err recently you should try to eat less meat to, leave less of a carbon footprint as well because I heard that they have been injecting a lot of weird


chemicals into the chickens to make them more plump in err lesser days so and they are always stuck in this dark room, and you know chickens they lay eggs according to how many days, and stuff so they will keep turning on and off the lights so that to trick them into thinking that it's the next day when it's actually not so it's very sad for them


and ya nowadays there are many slaughterhouses that will kill like pigs and chickens and cows so you have to try to , eat less meat I guess, think it's healthier for you as well


ya and also I think that recently I've tried the newest KFC edition of the, the, ya the fried chicken


added so try not to eat things with too much flavourings and MSG, it's called Ajinomoto in japanese, ya so ya even like the fried rice they put MSG in it so you have to try to be careful and stay


stay with home cooked meals ya <mandarin>咋家常便饭:zha jia chang bian fan</mandarin> it's always best <mandarin>三菜一汤:san cai yi tang</mandarin> as well, you know, ya


honestly I don't really eat fried chicken outside


because I don't like the fact that I have to get my hands dirty, and I have to <mandarin>洗手:xi shou</mandarin> after that so usually I just go for like chicken rice, ya so I guess the best, chicken


store I guess will be popeyes because they have this very very nice biscuits just like texas chicken but I think texas chicken has nicer biscuits so ya although we can bake them at home, ya it's much easier to buy them at a store


ya what about you bernard


in singapore !wah! I really like mac and cheese, ya that's one of my favourite foods I really love things with <mandarin>芝士:zhi shi</mandarin> because I don't know I just really like cheese I like the saltiness of cheese I like to try all types of cheeses


and all types of cheesy melty gooey stuff, which is cheese, ya so anything with cheese I will my eyes will light up and <mandarin>闪光:shan guang</mandarin> you know, ya anyway my eyes have <mandarin>散光:san guang</mandarin> so I'm very sad about that


and it's been getting worse I don't know how to help, like make not make it worse, , so ya my second thing on the list to be like hotpots and steamboats, then Mookata Mookata is one of my favourites right now


and of course who can forget sashimi and seafood, ya, what about you, well Mookata you have the grill on top so you can grill your meats and the pork lard for oil and then the the juices from the meats will go down to the soup part of the the grill


ya so and then you can like have that part as a sort of a steamboat mini steamboat where all the meat juices will go inside the steamboat, ya well for a steamboat you can only well I guess put the


put the meats in the soup, and then wait for it to cook, doesn't it sound delicious already by the way that I described it


sure but depending on the prices and how much meat they offer is it a buffet


with my boyfriend so I don't have time for you, so maybe you can go with another friend of yours or your sister


I also feel like you know


yes I already told you I have been there for the Mookata, remember, oh but also I, I'm quite interested in the duck rice because I really like <mandarin>鸭饭:ya fan</mandarin> and what a funny like shop name called Yaloh it's so singlish I like it a lot what I usually go to golden mile is for just the Mookata I guess and I heard that they serve raw prawns too


that time I went to for the Mookata I saw quite a few police officers trying to interrogate people there, so I wonder what's up


oh is it like little india that kind there was the riot and stuff


I think the security situation in singapore is pretty good I mean there are there aren't any, much violent crimes in singapore nowadays so that is really good, and I think the police are very vigilant in doing their duties but recently I've heard of like some scandals about like #dee kosh#


and, what not so that is a confusing day for me because I heard that #dee kosh# was the one who stood up against eden Ang, when he was found out to have like kind of molested the two girls


so I'm not very sure about the situation and I'm just hoping for, the best for him, and err hopefully he didn't do such a thing but it seems as though like, it's the truth


I think it's boys actually, err I'm not very sure about that as well


sure I'll see you soon bye
