then if if not hor <mandarin>是你做工:shi ni zuo gong</mandarin> then <mandarin>你做工:ni zuo gong</mandarin> eight hours <mandarin>所以这个:suo yi zhe ge</mandarin> eight hours right <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> like <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> social construct lah like <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> either <mandarin>做工:zuo gong</mandarin> eight hours <mandarin>还是睡:hai shi shui</mandarin> eight hours !wah! Jin Jialat ah <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> like my biggest wish right is that if you can just work for maybe like


four hours !wah! Shiok man everyday five days work week four hours maybe like nine to like one o'clock !wah! or like nine to three six hours even better than nine to six lah like give us a little bit of break I think that will be quite good


then what what skills will you want to have


!wah!


err really like do coding and everything and now <mandarin>现在找工作很难:xian zai zhao gong zuo hen nan</mandarin> lah <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> like everyone looking for like IT skills programming skills coding skills <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> like I don't even have and like now is in demand right so I feel that if <mandarin>如果我要一个:ru guo wo yao yi ge</mandarin> skill right <mandarin>那个是我:na ge shi wo</mandarin> number one <mandarin>要那个:yao na ge</mandarin> skill lah <mandarin>所以:suo yi</mandarin>


like language then like language barrier is like totally gone and then you will feel so comfortable in the country and then ya lor <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> like like cause you're <mandarin>外国人:wai guo ren</mandarin> right in another foreign country then those people will also like respect you cause they like you really like bothered to go and learn their language but then ya lor the new skill is like very difficult cause like you know it's not like like <mandarin>一次过可以:yi ci guo ke yi</mandarin> like <mandarin>学:xue</mandarin> like so fast cause ya lor all these needs like


time and like nurturing to like ya lor so I wish that like ya lor it's like a superpower also !wah! <mandarin>我知道:wo zhi dao</mandarin> then !wah! <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> like <mandarin>很好:hen hao</mandarin> lor then like I think the last skill that I would want to have ah is !wah!


(hmm), maybe err


err okay lah I won't say that I'm very skilful but like maybe I would want to have like more communication skills like be able to talk to everybody cause like <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> like some people like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> Buay Gam ah or like the frequency like different so I feel that if I would be able to like communicate with everybody and like


to like everybody like err you know Gam each other then <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> err like, err communicate <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> like everybody all the same then I think ya lor it's very good lah ya so it's also very good for like <mandarin>工作:gong zuo</mandarin> you know like if you can communicate with your clients well or like you can communicate with people well then it's also a very good skill lor so I think ya those are my three skills that I would like to like master and like learn


err I don't think so cause like reading minds is not like I mean you might be able to understand like from their body language and they're tonality but I think reading minds is not that easy but you can read someone by like understanding them but then you can't read like their exact what they're really thinking in their heads


but you can really understand them by like talking to them and like <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> like <mandarin>培养感情:pei yang gan qing</mandarin> then maybe you will understand how they're feeling but it's not easy to just read somebody's mind in like your first impression you know like <mandarin>人不可貌相:ren bu ke mao xiang</mandarin> also what so like you really need to understand the person before you can actually read their minds so I don't think that is a skill that I am looking for but I'm looking for communication skills as in like I'm able to like


talk to different kind of people from different backgrounds and like err maybe this person like might be err like she likes something and like I hope that <mandarin>我可以:wo ke yi</mandarin> like you know <mandarin>跟他一起:gen ta yi qi</mandarin> like <mandarin>谈得来:tan de lai</mandarin> and like have like same interests and like same <mandarin>一样的:yi yang de</mandarin> like


ya so different people have different <mandarin>想法:xiang fa</mandarin> mah so like is a skill in yourself cause like you need to be able to like kind of code switch to different people like err like maybe someone who is like err


like rich and someone who's poor they have different like <mandarin>感想:gan xiang</mandarin> so you must be able to be able to like click with both, ya, thank you

yeah then I go in and eat supper come out, !wah!, don't want lah you also don't want to stay near me, then you stay woodlands also lah


okay lor then we go, , like singapore


okay lah, I think I also think so lah but I like to go JB


you know next time we went together and we go together, okay see you bye bye, okay


oh it was really good so we, went to star vista, to <mandarin>吃午餐:chi wu can</mandarin> and then, uh we were deciding on a place so she she let me decide


and then we had some, like japanese Tapas, and err I had the sushi roll, and she being very healthy


had this err, rice bowl, so ya and we talk for quite a while and it's good


, err two zero one zero


(mmhmm)


, ya lor


ya lor must really count our blessing lah and also it's like we must realise how fortunate we are to even be able to <mandarin>去旅行:qu lv xing</mandarin> lah we're really very err happy everytime we go I guess and how we spend time together also it's also very good


[orh] fans <mandarin>就好像我的朋友跟我讲:jiu hao xiang wo de peng you gen wo jiang</mandarin> so she said that the fan is very cool so you know fan usually is <mandarin>转一圈的:zhuan yi quan de</mandarin> one way one but then this fan you can set it to go the other way


so it will push the air towards the ceiling and create like ambiance so like you can feel that there's really circulation that eh, ya lor and then she say that her, ah <mandarin>我我没有问他但是:wo wo mei you wen ta dan shi</mandarin> err she said that her think her aunty or her cousin was installing the fan and she also wants to install in her house


ya I think we should consider for fan eh mum


ya lor then still talking about buying what ice cream machine ah bread maker,


(mmhmm), (mmhmm) ya, that brings to mind <mandarin>刚才我们讲的我跟我的朋友讲的:gang cai wo men jiang de wo gen wo de peng you jiang de</mandarin> is we talked of how about how, when when she's at home


with her family in circuit breaker, but is better because they actually get to see each other, for like <mandarin>晚餐午餐:wan can wu can</mandarin> they get to <mandarin>用一起用餐:yong yi qi yong can</mandarin> and then they also get to see each other more often because if not they are all working and all out you know, ya


(mmhmm) such such, ,


, ya, , that brings to mind you know I read the newspaper, that


more couples are getting divorced because they are at home with each other too long and then there's a lot of family that is quarrel also, cause you know you rub shoulders you know when you are together for


ya lor, (mmhmm)


ya so it's not just, you know the problem of of not being used to it you know it's also sometimes you can also rub shoulders and get more frustrated with each other that's why the <mandarin>耐心:nai xin</mandarin> comes in


we, can own time own target, like I need go toilet then I don't need ask the teacher I just off my camera go toilet, then a bit hungry in between just maybe pop a light snack into my mouth while I'm listening


whereas in, online is is less rude lah I would say, also another thing is that, it's very seamless because you are at home, and then you just open your computer and then you can go for lesson you don't have to travel, so elimination of travel time is something that's


so is like, also I'm happy lah because if I in morning class usually I need wake up around seven o'clock, but now at home I can wake up at like <mandarin>八点九点:ba dian jiu dian</mandarin> like that, ya


, ya actually it cannot, but actually also that, like although, like it's online, we can still make friends but just that is not the same lor <mandarin>是不一样的:shi bu yi yang de</mandarin> lor it's just just cannot replace physical connection with


online connection is just not as personal, and you don't feel that you've really established a, proper relationship with someone until you meet them face to face


, ya actually now that you think to say like this right


actually we realised that we are very native to technology <mandarin>但是:dan shi</mandarin> we don't really like, treasure it or like we don't really realise it until we actually are forced to do every single thing online, so it's more of like I think we are we I mean our generation in a way likes to complain lah so I mean either way also you have people complaining


if you go to school you complain I got to wake up early got to you know prepare my lunch breakfast or what then at home is you complain I don't get to see my friends you know that's I guess in a way if you really want to be discontented you will always find a way


(mmhmm) ya


(hmm)


, ya I envy <mandarin>我们泰国的朋友:wo men tai guo de peng you</mandarin> cause she just go gallivanting around thailand you know it's beautiful scenery all around you know there's annex places to go thailand has about sixty sixty odd stage you know I mean


you wouldn't have travelled all of that in your lifetime whereas singapore we can <mandarin>去:qu</mandarin> #pasir ris# that's one end of singapore <mandarin>去:qu</mandarin> #joo koon# <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> the other end Liao, but that being said there are hidden gems are in singapore


like I read about this secret beach in Sentosa, it's like you can walk there you have to climb some rocks lah, ya then you can go there is like pristine is untouched by humans


(mmhmm)


no five I think


, we also have to be content lah you know singapore is very safe already we have one of the best healthcare in the world


we are on the race to find the vaccine and apparently we are one of the few front runners, so I guess you gotta give and take lah you know you got the bigger country also you got a, healthcare scare like you know italy so many people die, you know because the country is just too big for them to


properly you know, control the coronavirus, ya but ya I I in a way <mandarin>也是同意:ye shi tong yi</mandarin> lah that, in a way singapore after awhile you go here go there already there's really nowhere to go


(mmhmm),


ya I think


ya, ya


ya lor same for me you know whenever I go out of the house, then I walk a bit out of the house a bit then I realised !aiyo! Jialat then cover my mouth


then <mandarin>我的朋友很好笑的:wo de peng you hen hao xiao de</mandarin> leh, then she left the house already she said oh I'm early, then after that, suddenly text again sorry I'm late lah forgot to bring mask must walk all the way back home


so it's not something that, it's like comes second nature to us, still a lot to get used to you know, and I wonder even if we are allowed to travel right, like <mandarin>搭飞机:da fei ji</mandarin> or what right you still have to like adhere to


distancing and maybe even wear mask on board and all that you know,


, then I was also watching this err <mandarin>电视节目:dian shi jie mu</mandarin> which is about, finding the right mask for you lah because


one problem there are a lot of people face is skincare issues so they have !wah! I saw the photos !wah!, for the whole day you know sitting at work which is nothing but the mask on


and then so in the end they came to the conclusion, after trying all different types of mask, actually there's this interesting type of mask, called like <mandarin>有铁在里面:you tie zai li mian</mandarin> is like, metal they sold in the metal into the mask and like the silver or the copper


ions are supposed to, cap kill the virus but they say that it's not that effective, because the thing is, the coronavirus is very very small right you know virus is very small particle even smaller than bacteria


so, when it goes into the mask it may not be killed by the copper or the or the, silver ions so, they ruled out that mask lor, so the best mask is actually a cloth masks which has a layer for you to insert


your, like filter in between so that you can change the filter, and you can also wash the mask and it also allows breath-ability, and it's best for the skin lah yes


so they also said about the, water repellent inside layer and err outside layer, and the inside layer must be more water absorbent so that it can like absorb like sweat and saliva and all that ya


quite interesting lah you know how a lot of this pro even these programs come up in the coronavirus, but there was also another program you know about, this person called joshua Lim he like, explains how, like IT and all that has changed the


how we interact and how the coronavirus has also affected our life, ya


, remember when we went to <mandarin>日本的时候:ri ben de shi hou</mandarin> then everything is so nice and clean you know and actually like the people there are really like a role model for us they are much more responsible even even I watch this about remember I think we watch together about the zero waste


they really bag every single of their waste into different categories and then, they will throw it into each bin accordingly and there's like !wah! five or six different beans you know, so really


I feel that is also, no possible, for singaporeans to live like that


(mmhmm)


<mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor <mandarin>但是有有优点的话也是有缺点:dan shi you you you dian de hua ye shi you que dian</mandarin> lah, like fight and all that not just that you know but, there's also like


reports lah of elderly, who cannot go to the eldercare centres so actually quite sad because, they don't have anyone to interact especially those who live alone, and then all their elderly friends also because you know it's high risks mah so they also cannot meet together


so it's actually quite sad they are actually stuck at home and they unlike us they have, they have lesser things to do you see, because they you see you know when you're when you're older already you are less able to go out and all that, so they are just you know at home


and and also, like they cannot meet people lah so that's also another <mandarin>缺点:que dian</mandarin> lor,


ya


I mean there's a lot of places I want to go, so, like I want to go argentina, cause there's beautiful mountain ranges you can go hiking and, we on our trip to to laos we actually met an argentinian couple


and then we were telling them I mean they were telling us about, their country lah about how, it is very beautiful there, you know things are not very expensive as well


<mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lah, ya, not just that lah I also want to go to like sweden very beautiful also you know so maybe go back to thailand, ya visit <mandarin>我们的朋友:wo men de peng you</mandarin> lor


and maybe see like


the city life there also, like you didn't manage to go the last time which was, quite sad but it's okay there's always a next time you know, ya, and I feel like while I'm young I wanna go to more exotic locations like places I will never travel to


when I'm older like until argentina, south america, you know maybe even like russia again I don't know, or like ya, so


, ya


ya, I feel what you say is very true also, I went to this err, fort canning park, so our class ah actually organise err


also for underprivileged kids like a sort of like a <mandarin>露营:lu ying</mandarin> like that like a mini, mini one day camp lah so what we did was we brought them, to fort canning park to like have like a nature trail, and these kids are also kids that


come from poor poorer backgrounds like, they are, like, cannot afford to like do a lot of thing so the kids also sometimes maybe a bit like, deprive of such experiences, so, what we did was we had like a fashion show we had like some quizzes and worksheets for them to fill up


as well as like, these kids can range from like, about six years old to around twelve, so we just really had lot of, form a lot of good memories with them


and it was really eye opening experience because you get to see, like first hand, or like how to interact with these kids and you learn skills in even learn things from them lah, that you previously if you just stay at home, you wouldn't really learn


and is to see how like happy they are also, to to come out and then to have err to spend time with us, ya


ya, you know sometimes we don't we living in sort of like a bubble, like <mandarin>我们自己的世界:wo men zi ji de shi jie</mandarin> then we don't really, like, worry about what, other people are facing the thing it's always good to learn about what others like


struggles as well and it helps us, to appreciate where we are and also to encourage us you know to, to have not to live as if, these problems don't exist


but , (mmhmm)


yup I agree, ya there was also about this man I think, he's in his early twenties or late twenties, there was like a article of him giving out free mask to singaporeans, and also a lot of people like put free hand sanitisers downstairs the HDB


for the whole community to use, you know how you hear a lot of negative media about, !wah! a lot of people coming down with corona virus and then, you know <mandarin>就会忘记:jiu hui wang ji</mandarin> lor <mandarin>有好的事情:you hao de shi qing</mandarin> there's also a lot of good that's happening around us you know


people are being kind and, I think bad situations like this may bring out the best in humanities sometimes


, ya lor think we can also do our part anyway, you know by, I guess you know when you see people in need don't turn a blind eye, like when I was not really related to the coronavirus but


like there was this woman who was basking, like she's blind lah I think she's from the singapore association of the visually handicapped and I've seen her sing like quite a lot of time so, when I see her I will usually give like, some money lah so to just support because she sang this jason Mraz song which I really like ya


so I don't know how they will turn out, and maybe after this err coronavirus dies down maybe it'll be better, you know, but it's not gonna be easy lah definitely because, you have to practise as well you know


, so when you volunteered at the <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> like, with children, when was it was it long time ago


!wah!


, , so were you able to build the relationship with the, same kids or was it different kids everytime


ya in in <mandarin>我的大学:wo de da xue</mandarin> I also have to, do some certain number of hours of community service, so who knows I may volunteer with youth as well, ya I find that very or elderly maybe


I find, like it's very helpful and I'm also thinking maybe I can volunteer the visually handicapped, you know there's something that, I mean I've always felt compassion for them you know, cause we all can see but imagine how they, the everyday they have to


take the train or what, you know I just saw this lady, she got off at caldecott MRT, she was like wearing glasses with very very high degree and she had this stick with her so I think she's almost blind lah


so, actually I wanted to go and help her but, there was really no chance lah because when the door open the, staff at the MRT, saw that lady, and then <mandarin>很快的很快的:hen kuai de hen kuai de</mandarin> they will they just escorted her out


like help her out of the train lah, ya so, I think it's also I I will go and volunteer with these visually handicapped, I do get the chance lah


, it's good lah it's good that you know nowadays the mindset is changing and I think last time the reason why they didn't come out it's not just because of accessibility issues, it's so because of like the mindset you know out of sight out of mind, it means like if you don't see these people they don't really in a sense exist but


I feel that the mindset is slowly shifting away from that you know, like nowadays like even I studied before in, you know like, language also so there's language always evolves and so, words are moving away from things like retarded idiots and all that that that were used to label this kind of people and now it's become like differently abled


you know, maybe err wheelchair user instead of wheelchair bound, things like that, and I find that it's very good lah that there's this move in society, and and also with this change in in in the the words that used to describe these people there's also a mindset shift lah


in the sense that now people are more willing to interact with these people to spend time with them you know get to know them, and and it's very good lah like now in the government also has proposed like the build like more schools


like special needs schools for these children lah so they have actually have like, an opportunity in life lor to, be it do a vocation or start their own business, and and I actually learnt in this err, school about


this err man who started this social enterprise, and he employs only the, differently abled people, so like be it visually handicapped autistic you know have down syndrome


and they will actually cook so they actually find it they they were interviewed, and then they said that they actually found a lot of meaning in doing this and, and not just that you know these people who are differently abled will cook for the elderly so what they will do is they will invite this elderly from eldercare centres from old folks home


, it's very good lah,


, must be more inclusive, you know, I feel that sometimes we may have, you know, left behind lah some of these people are left behind you know


when when singaporeans, you know sometimes maybe earn more and then they move up the social ladder, and then these people are are left to fend for themselves, but I feel that now that's not the case lah like people are actually noticing them, and there are a lot of


a lot of programs, tailored towards <mandarin>这些人:zhe xie ren</mandarin> lor, and they really, are given a chance to live, they are given a chance to be happy, like they will live more contented life as well


and and ya they will, just be happier overall I think that's one thing that singaporeans singaporeans, are moving towards are more inclusive you know and, and ya more inclusive society


, everybody must do their part, you know to, be more, aware of this and I feel that although there's good awareness that's coming up


is still not as common place the knowledge of this, inclusivity and and equity for is still not that


you know such topics are brought up because err, we don't talk about such things ah, then err we tend to be, ignorance ah


what's your lunch today with your friend


actually there are a lot of good err japanese err restaurants in singapore ah, it's like we're never short of err, ya <mandarin>其实不用去日本也是可以吃到日本也是也是可以吃到日本餐:qi shi bu yong qu ri ben ye shi ke yi chi dao ri ben ye shi ye shi ke yi chi dao ri ben can</mandarin>


oh


I think I can remember ya, well travelling is always an enjoyable thing for for us ah isn't it we all love to travel


and err you know we didn't realise that after this pandemic travelling has become like such a coveted thing you know, err not something you get to do, as often as you like


, then <mandarin>你说你说你说今天你你碰到一个很有趣的事那个什么:ni shuo ni shuo ni shuo jin tian ni ni peng dao yi ge hen you qu de shi na ge shen me</mandarin> fan ah


it's it's gonna be like a like a white elephant at home, we have so many white elephants at home, from the from the err toaster


!huh! <mandarin>有时家里有很多东西都买了都没有用的:you shi jia li you hen duo dong xi dou mai le dou mei you yong de</mandarin> never use at all, ya that's right you know we all there's so many wants ah human wants many things


right but do we really need all of these things


so I think ah after this pandemic right you also realise that you don't need a lot of things, like err when we went on a locked down, we also didn't need a lot of stuff , you realise right


a lot of things are like more like want are more like wants rather than needs ah


, there's the working from home is err is helpful lah right because now nobody has to travel everybody is at home all the time ya I think the circuit breaker it was a very interesting period


or season in our lives never ever had to experience circuit breaker, stay home the whole time, cook from home you know, err cooking two meals a day preparing breakfast at home


or we are so used to going out all the time


!wah!


pay you know a lot of err what you call that a lot of


forbearance ah, must bear with one another because when you are so in close close contact all the time close range all the time, !wah! it can be very trying right, and then suddenly you realise that


you're facing each other twenty four seven literally twenty four seven how how easy how easy is that, !huh! <mandarin>不是一件很容易的事:bu shi yi jian hen rong yi de shi</mandarin> hor


oh <mandarin>那你觉得你觉得:na ni jue de ni jue de</mandarin> err,


but when it comes to not being able to meet friends, is a bit of err like, not so fun lah always home right cannot meet friends, ya cannot err, cannot go the beach cannot go and err play a game cannot go and have a meal with someone


also can be can be quite hard to get used to !huh!, at that point right, the lock down ah


but but I'm surprise you say that right, because, you are from a generation that basically is a very tech savvy


oh <mandarin>新加坡人:xin jia po ren</mandarin> lor <mandarin>这就是新加坡人:zhe jiu shi xin jia po ren</mandarin> singaporeans when you , ya or complain too much, so err, this err


pandemic mah also, has brought out the best and the worst in people isn't it, ya, but I think err, for people like us who love to travel


really travelling it's err one of the, hardest setback


something that is very really difficult lah you know to, our expectations of you know being able to travel our


love for for err exploring different countries, plus I think, what, makes it, more difficult, is the fact that <mandarin>我们自己的国家很小:wo men zi ji de guo jia hen xiao</mandarin> eh


really so small right, it's like not really a lot of places that we can visit although the government is trying to encourage, people to visit local places isn't it


like no foreign no no err tourist from outside then the locals become, you know our own tourist right but I find that like, a bit difficult because I don't know where to go


and you just go bad thing around


untouched for now when not many people go but once you have a lot of, local singaporeans going and will no longer be untouched


you know I feel that we have a population of, err five four point something million, five million we have a population of five million, and err we have err


twenty by, twenty one twenty one kilometre by forty kilometres


ya I hope to visit, err thailand the first instance we can travel, now singaporeans are not the most welcome, travellers or visitors our coronavirus cases are considered very high


for a small population, you know a population of err five five million people, we have err fifty over cases, although our death rates is kind of low lah


ya lor


<mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> lor, (hmm) <mandarin>不用紧:bu yong jin</mandarin> we will, we will be able to err, see, the world again in the days ahead lah we just got to be


hoping ah I think the cases are now more or less, getting lower fewer community cases, not like err, not like a couple of months ago every other day you hear


people you know contracted


I'm just glad lah I'm just glad that err now the, virus is a lot more under control in singapore, err hopefully people will not become too complacent, and then err, forget to wear their mask


you know then later on, the bell, ring and they call you to come and pick up, another you know the your your your coffee and your tea, that you ordered earlier on, and then you just instinctively


get up of the chair, and walk towards, the coffee store without realising that, actually you forgot your mask


everytime I sit down I take out my mask I eat a little bit and then err oh maybe got to go and go and wash hands or you know err, you know then I forget that actually oh my mask is off


I don't see how the distancing it's gonna be so err, possible when you're sitting next to somebody on airplane, you know because err they talk about, err you need to wear mask on an airplane


can you imagine you travel to a destination, that is like err


it may not be achievable lor, you know, so I wonder lah whether how is going to pan out, this mandatory wearing of mask you know


how long forever wearing masks , when the situation improve


don't know how to how to describe


for sure it has affected our lives tremendously, ya such that err, it is a point of no return back to pre-pandemic days ah


so needs to get used to it, it will take time but I think it will come, you know just like with anything like err still remember last time ah, you used to have a lot of people spitting, you know and then


now, err you hardly find, spit on the on the on the pavement and all that, and then long time ago err <mandarin>我们很有很多不懂:wo men hen you hen duo bu dong</mandarin> campaign ah <mandarin>叫人家:jiao ren jia</mandarin> ah


is is is it's a it's a it's a lifestyle lah you know, and like I think lifestyle and habits lor, that's, can be can be moulded lah that can be instilled


it takes a lot of err efforts, err and but, say over time it will happen you see, changes in people's behaviour


fine,


ya definitely I think err this pandemic has, has err, taught us many things lah because you know during the lock down when people were staying home, we also


err have learnt new habits, err like for example right, we have more time, to sort out our waste, perhaps we have more time, to err


spend on our hobbies, so as a result you find that life suddenly, stood still, you know, people find so much time in at hand, that !huh! like err


it became like they needed to find things to do, and so then new habits are formed lah because of this pandemic also, and then of course not to mention now this staying home hor <mandarin>留在家里:liu zai jia li</mandarin> ha


you know people are, kind of used to being home, you know that err, in fact I hear that people enjoy some people just, have never enjoyed home as much as now, or or rather they never had a chance you know


to experience err <mandarin>待在家的那种滋味:dai zai jia de na zhong zi wei</mandarin> lah you know how they can


and also for, ya is true I think I agree with you the elderly, has err, I mean they are not mobile, and then if they are all alone


cause elderly was single who live alone, or that's very hard for them because like you say lah the social interaction is gone, you know they can't even err you know head to the market, even if they do go to the market is like to pick up whatever they need and then come back home quickly


time hor


some kind of err <mandarin>心里的寄托:xin li de ji tuo</mandarin> lah you know


err <mandarin>替他们感到很:ti ta men gan dao hen</mandarin> like !aiyo! you feel sorry for them you know


so how do you, think you will where where do you think you will err, will be the first place you will visit when COVID is over or when you're allowed to travel


ah !huh!


, ya you remember this err travel series that we are watching now right the taiwanese and the korean


err time and tide waits for no man , ya so it's good to use our, our time wisely, err pandemic or no pandemic, you know we should always find hobbies that we can do


you know voluntary work is also a good way to spend our time, because err when you do voluntary work, you are actually contributing to society


in a very special way, do you agree, I used to I used to volunteer, in a children's home, many years ago


I can still remember, it was a every saturday thing, and err we will go and play with the kids


and err, a lot of the these children actually come from, err disadvantaged, you know the families, ya so, I find it something meaningful lah very meaningful thing to do


for a for a weekend, ya I encourage, I encourage I encourage more people to do voluntary work because I think, it is time well spent, contributing to society, and err also


helps us all to become less self-centred lor, because if not err we live very self-centred lives ah


but when we do voluntary work we actually get to see, err different sight of society you know, especially when err people, err are indifferent, err hierarchy of society


ya they're so they're so deprived, resources, to


go to, go and visit different places, and err also err you know, that reaches out to them, err <mandarin>这些孩子们都:zhe xie hai zi men dou</mandarin> will fall through the gap lah


they also, you know very hard for them to, integrate into society, if there were not many people who care for them, ya so you know remember the initiative also


err how the people actually, err brought, donated laptops to those err underprivileged children as well, during the lockdown, and how because of that they could do home based learning


can you imagine that a lot of people without, these resources, like a like a computer something that, err we think that err, in this modern day and age lor


but, the truth is, there are a lot of people who don't have and a lot of people who don't use


, okay lah on the lighter note , ya <mandarin>有时:you shi</mandarin> ah


err volunteers ah, you know the volunteers are very very, err, there's a lot of err love lah, and that's why they volunteer themselves ya


so actually singapore has a has a lot of err, kind hearted people, agree, thank god for that lah


, ya I I know of err a friend who even sold mask ah, for those err, err frontline workers are so in actual fact


a lot of good things happening, even when this coronavirus is err is


good things happening


I like I like buskers, whenever I , I see or hear buskers, I just err, really enjoy that kind of entertainment, and err I also think busking is like a job


that people do, it's err, you know it's not you're not begging for money you are trying to support yourself, ya I think there's much better than, seeing people lah <mandarin>没有没有无所事事:mei you mei you wu suo shi shi</mandarin> ah at least when the people bask I'm still very willing to part with my my


ya I'm sure it will require many hours of practising


err be prepared lor, to, err spend that kind of time, ya


ya long time ago when I was, I volunteered for


err teach them a new new game skill


so it's like err when you do that for them you know it's, giving them an outlet, to get out err reason to get get out of the house as well, and then err that also helps them lor


always come with some snacks lah some some err food lah you know and err


and err these these children, err range ah from, aged I remember, from age, err seven, all the way to about maybe twelve into primary school kids ah


and err very they're they are very interactive err very happy lor to be there, it's like a centre located, at the HDB you know, and then there will be like how many of us ah there were like err


maybe, six to seven volunteers, and of course


ya , <mandarin>觉得很有意义:jue de hen you yi yi</mandarin> lah


mostly the same kids actually there were mostly the like I say lah the children the same children will come back saturday after saturday after saturday, unless of course they move, because, then they will not back they will not come


but err most of the time ah they are there the same children, so for the two years ah !wah! so err some of the same kids so it was very hard to when eventually left, after two years right I found it very difficult


they had a farewell for us for the for some of us who were leaving of course err with with some leaving you know there will always be


ya and I err remember seeing the the children smiling happy, I just makes me feel it's so meaningful,


actually nowadays you get to see more err, handicapped people around whether they are on a mobile their you know their mobile device, or they are, you know with their cane feeling their way around


last time, there are not many there are not even like buses that have rams you know


so <mandarin>这些人怎么出门:zhe xie ren zen me chu men</mandarin> ah, compared to err, ten, fifteen years ago


you know there are no buildings doesn't have rams err lifts are too small buses don't have err


a way for them to, to get on hop on, there are there are a lot of err, err measures, taken to enable these err disabled


to, venture out,


okay I see, so that's why now you find that there are a lot more accommodation lor


in err in in to see that err, there's there's so err much more <mandarin>措施:cuo shi</mandarin> you know measures that are, being made, I especially err liked it when they


they had a mandatory law that says that, all the new buildings hor, all must have ram, they must build it it must come with a ram, you know and then the buses certain buses apply certain route where you know there are old folks there


err basically they just there are more and more buses, that has ram, you know that allows the old folks hor


err you know, people don't care about them, and in fact they also talking about integrating err, err the disabled kids with the regular school kids and is integrating them into schools lah


I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm glad it is going gonna happen I'm I mean I hope that it will really happen, err, because then, our children, will then, be able to see <mandarin>残缺人士:can que ren shi</mandarin> in their class, they will be able to interact


err in society you know


so I think, if this move is good, it helps gives teaches children more compassion, because now they learn how to interact, with with them they learnt that oh you know these err err <mandarin>残缺人士:can que ren shi</mandarin> hor <mandarin>也是有他们自己的:ye shi you ta men zi ji de</mandarin> err err special needs you know like like


maybe they need to use err err err, err a lift instead of err you know, they can't take the stairs because they are on wheelchair and that the children will also learn how to manage a wheelchair you know, ah <mandarin>他们就看到这些残缺人士就不会这样感到好像好像好像很惊讶这样:ta men jiu kan dao zhe xie can que ren shi jiu bu hui zhe yang gan dao hao xiang hao xiang hao xiang hen jing ya zhe yang</mandarin> like


[orh] <mandarin>没有看过这种人他们是谁啊他们是怎么样的:mei you kan guo zhe zhong ren ta men shi shei a ta men shi zen me yang de</mandarin> ah you know ah ah ah, ah <mandarin>他们跟我们一样吗:ta men gen wo men yi yang ma</mandarin> you know, they will realise that, like normal people think like normal people


err, feel like normal people you know


you know you'll see the that err there will be on that table particular table


there's a wheelchair sign, and then there instead of err maybe six stools there only be like four stools, ya so you can see that even in hawker centres, ya they also make provision, !aww! <mandarin>觉得感到:jue de gan dao</mandarin> like !wah! <mandarin>看到这样的情情形:kan dao zhe yang di qing qing xing</mandarin> hor


very err


you also see special like err, area meant for wheelchair right like big big areas no seats err handlebars only and then you know they're meant for the wheelchair bound


ya so err, I'm glad to know that err the government is doing


err compassion hor


, K I'm glad err that err, you know


okay, !aiya!, okay so to start off the topic we're going to say err we are going to speak according to the


prompts that you guys have given us, okay so, err if you had three wishes leon what would you wish for


by shooting leh, like I mean ya okay so if you wish that you always have like three wishes then, okay so you your first wish you wish that you got four wishes then after that <mandarin>你就有:ni jiu you</mandarin> err


four wishes left, so the next wish you make right you must be err I wish I have ten wishes, so


eh don't tell me you, , okay but <mandarin>如果真的:ru guo zhen de</mandarin> like only have three wishes then what would you wish for, like seeing that they are very rare, they are they are very precious you cannot wish for more


then what would you have, wish for


(mmhmm) !wow!


how can you be unhappy in the majority or in a nice house filled with a lot of nice food


then don't then don't <mandarin>跟他们在一起:gen ta men zai yi qi</mandarin> lah, so will there be like one of them, wishes, I will never be alone


that's a waste of your wishes man, of course is money


I will wish for an unlimited supply of money to buy whatever I want, anytime I want, and everything also I can buy, a lot of money


err I guess is like the power to buy whatever you want lor


okay so, err second wish, (mmhmm) maybe, for my for the whole world to to be rid of poverty


like I wished that the world <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> suffering lah, so everybody is happy but I'm the I'm I'm rich lah so, in a sense nobody is suffering but I'm also enjoying the most, so that will be my second wish no more poverty no more suffering


oh but world peace what is peace, like <mandarin>没有吵架也是:mei you chao jia ye shi</mandarin> peace


no actually the dark web <mandarin>我觉得蛮好的:wo jue de man hao de</mandarin> leh, ya <mandarin>因为给很多人那个:yin wei gei hen duo ren na ge</mandarin> opportunity to


to to get what they want lah without releasing their their, like, let people know who they are, you know, it's an opportunity for whatever you do what they want and get what they want without showing themselves


well how you know, how you know, ya,


what you mean you went on there before, with who, oh, I know who already I know who already, okay so moving on that's my second wish err then the third


wish is, !wah! <mandarin>这个有点难:zhe ge you dian nan</mandarin> leh, err third wish maybe, actually nothing much leh I feel for


if like once I get rid of poverty and suffering and I'm very rich and you do whatever I want, oh health, I wish that I will not have to go through any suffering or pain, and my loved ones


but then <mandarin>如果不喜欢一个人:ru guo bu xi huan yi ge ren</mandarin> right then <mandarin>我就会:wo jiu hui</mandarin> like, err okay, make him suffer him or her suffer, like if I see them bully somebody I will just wish that, err their next life become paralyse


I don't care I don't like all these err bad stuff


like if they didn't want to be in this kind of position then from the start <mandarin>就不要这样做:jiu bu yao zhe yang zuo</mandarin> lah, you know is like


but if you want to <mandarin>害人:hai ren</mandarin> right, then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> of course you will <mandarin>害到自己:hai dao zi ji</mandarin> eventually one, karma what goes around comes around, ya and I will be karma


my name will be karma, that's the third wish right you finish the third wishes already right, okay so, !wow!, err I think the second one like a bit <mandarin>难:nan</mandarin> leh


okay can move on to the third one, err if you have any unusual superpower what will it be


oh my god I know for me cause I got very weird pattern mah I always blow my nose mah, so so once I blow my nose then I will produce the sound wave then <mandarin>把每个人:ba mei ge ren</mandarin> like push or like destroy destroy whatever is in my way


I can see the circles all coming out, you know the circles ya ya the the cartoon version


it must be an unusual superpower, ya cannot be like invisibility


(mmhmm), !wow! so that makes you immune lah


nothing to lose


ya ya ya ya ya then you can actually like extend and then strangle them, , so like poison ivy, no oh but <mandarin>他是:ta shi</mandarin> poison and flower


but then <mandarin>你要怎么选哪个毛:ni yao zen me xuan na ge mao</mandarin> extend ah


, oh, but it's a very strong a bit


okay, fourth one, if you found a time capsule form from yourself ten years ago what would be inside


oh so you are saying the time capsule <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> from the past <mandarin>给我到现在:gei wo dao xian zai</mandarin> lah


okay okay


your past self so generous ah if I had a gameboy I will never give it away to my future self I will just use it until <mandarin>我不要用:wo bu yao yong</mandarin> Liao, legit


so game boy PS eh SP SP SP SP SP ah very <mandarin>还记得这种东西:hai ji de zhe zhong dong xi</mandarin> eh


!wah! eh


!walao! eh <mandarin>以前我的:yi qian wo de</mandarin> aunt <mandarin>买给我我也是:mai gei wo wo ye shi</mandarin> then the special colour eh the light blue, I don't know I think so, !walao! <mandarin>跟你讲:gen ni jiang</mandarin> hor <mandarin>以前我是:yi qian wo shi</mandarin> hide


ah <mandarin>我这样子:wo zhe yang zi</mandarin> hide, ya <mandarin>我是有:wo shi you</mandarin> PSP, but <mandarin>我的是买:wo de shi mai</mandarin> DJ max <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> game, !wah! okay


, is it the car, I don't play that kind of game


eh,


beat me then there was once he beat me so hard the cane break, ya, and then no always know the cane will be on top of the fridge, then I always try to push it to the back


that's what my father say


lie about what


how much did you spend, oh my god


!wah! you spend like <mandarin>准准:zhun zhun</mandarin> ten dollar


then <mandarin>他们怎么懂你:ta men zen me dong ni</mandarin> like you lie, !huh!, that one is like psycho psycho girlfriend boyfriend action leh


oh, like hardship without, oh my god


oh hit you with that, , ya I think my,


or maybe I'll write a letter to myself, !huh!, oh that's true


but assuming of course now also mah, okay, oh this is interesting, what labels do you think that you have been given by society


why eh no you first you go first, don't be shy you can say that you can say that you think you've been given a handsome label


obviously <mandarin>能讲这种废话:neng jiang zhe zhong fei hua</mandarin> leh, nothing else, how can it be


you must remember that you will fit ones too


!wah!, your school is very good eh, because you always making fun of ridicule or fat people in our school really, especially the girls


oh wait you are good at sports meh, you good at sports doesn't mean, doesn't mean that you can play the sport you means that you excel


uh, cause you also like a ball, !wah! no wonder your ego so big ah, !aiyo!


, something else that's all, any negative label, in your head


(mmhmm)


but why did he say that you are fake leh, then after that you just like <mandarin>没有什么跟他讲话:mei you shen me gen ta jiang hua</mandarin> Liao lah


until now


oh my god I don't know whether that's like a good thing or not, err some maybe is a bit better if, that you got caught


fake like a person drop out of school, so it means that technically you win, oh


!walao!, sorry ah I very <mandarin>记仇:ji chou</mandarin> one, okay so you continue to think if there is anymore so for me, I also got a tall label


but, I don't know why the, people in these two, grow very big, like especially your generation I see a lot a lot a lot of tall guys now, and


quite a lot more tall girls, all the people are very short I swear to god like, I was the tallest girl leh in the whole cohort, until primary six eh


can you imagine I'm taller than all the guys, ya ya, it sucks ah, and then I was like a giant giant, but then now the people the girls who are tall right they are like applauded for it and they are not being made fun also so I also very like <mandarin>有点乱:you dian luan</mandarin> very confused


why was it not okay back then but then it's like so so like celebrated by people now


(mmhmm) but then you also fat mah, also fat


(mmhmm), ya lor, okay second label, ya that labels what is more than one


!walao! eh, err another label is, !wah! let me think, very awkward, whereas socially awkward, I think cause I kept getting mad made fun of so that's why


I didn't know how to interact cause every time interacted with somebody then I they will find story like, or like very giant very tall, ya lor but that was growing growing when I was still very young lah


now maybe not so much, but I think they will, !aiya! <mandarin>人人都是犯贱的:ren ren dou shi fan jian de</mandarin> lah they will always say they will always find something to criticise you about what so just like you lor just don't <mandarin>不要管人的:bu yao guan ren de</mandarin> just think your life lor


ya, okay so, okay, what was the most memorable meal you ever had


and where did you have it, oh shit, you know what's yours


ah, ya you even have a instagram story about it


!wah!, , !walao!


my first the cause was around my twenty four years old leh, actually I feel it's not [bah]


!huh!, yours is medium rare right, what what the proper house I think, how the, normal lah


!wah! then you all share, lame


oh my god !wah! that sound !wah! that sound, cool though, how can have medium rare one, pork eh, what is the


but is I mean like malays are halal for a reason, cause they feel like pig <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> dirty, and then you a to eat it medium rare, like !huh! <mandarin>这样找麻烦:zhe yang zhao ma fan</mandarin> leh


as for me, my most memorable meal was wait okay let me think when I was in new zealand then I eat anything


(mmhmm), okay there was one nicer but it's not memorable enough, let me think, where else did I go, iceland


iceland food I mean lah okay lah all the iceland food is nice but, very very normal very european food lor, okay so I most memorable one was this, a strawberry


with, cake, yes it's like, outside it's called a die for cool outside it's just like a thin layer of, Mochi oh my god the Mochi was so soft


and it was, powdered with I think flour it's not powder sugar so that's like flour so that the Mochi don't stick to the, don't stick to the paper, then <mandarin>里面也是有那个:li mian ye shi you na ge</mandarin> strawberry cake


!wah! <mandarin>我跟你讲那个:wo gen ni jiang na ge</mandarin> strawberry cake <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> fluffy leh, fluffy <mandarin>有味道:you wei dao</mandarin> hor, !wah!, is the, like I'm pretty sure if you ate the strawberry cake on it's own right, you will just love it by itself already and the best thing is the strawberry cake is wrapped inside the thin layer of Mochi


then the cream is so whip leh, I swear, like it's so light you, you will just like oh actually I don't really like cream, too much cream I feel it's very gross like I feel it's very fatty


but then this one is like even though there's a lot I don't mind eating it because it's so sugary so sweet so light so fluffy, !wah!


in taiwan taiwan when I come back to singapore every strawberry like shit I tell you, I think I only saw one, that was like barely passable


err what's that the, the very big strawberry in NTUC, what what audrey schools, ya but just cause like a err like, they had a law suit eh because they were sturdily underpaying their goods labourers


so that's why I don't want to support them, they are exploiting and labor, ya so for like like, the best one I ever had and the saddest thing is I only got to eat one


actually I'm planning to bring into singapore lor


that's what your life is for,


ya what, I miss you so much


okay, what about yours


(mmhmm)


you mean like, shouldn't it be like air flight tickets


why you why you thinking so low level bus or train, bus and train how cheap only, ya, no basically all transport should be free lah including flight tickets


right eh why is it why are we paid for this ah


oh ya not anybody will go anywhere right now, oh ya, that's like housing lor, if, we didn't have, any like restrictions


then maybe the owner of the house won't take care of the house anymore, like because everybody come and stay mah for free, then why are you still bother maintaining a house


you know, (mmhmm), food lor, all this like very basic eh


I feel like it should be free also the the whatever tampons pads, like we didn't ask to have periods eh


and, and we are giving birth to children, so, technically we can take it out what, the room then the world today it will populate already lor, like the technically right the earth is dependent on on females to to reproduce leh


so what are we paying the price for the world, population, make sense, ya I so angry eh, are you cold


then, I I move the blanket over, okay so


err moving on if humans no longer needed to work to survive, what will we do, !wah!, I think you will go both ways eh


all those people who were just, be like hippies, because don't need to care already my already is free, no no worries


and the other side will be like err people who are, so fed up will not do anything at all right you need something going on in their life that they turn evil and try fuck everything ah, ya


genius yes genius


I think there will be a lot of plants everywhere, food plant ya, well then somebody's got to run the automate the robots what


!wow!, , thank you


everyday activity


I guess going to the toilet, !wahseh! <mandarin>跟你讲:gen ni jiang</mandarin> ya <mandarin>一直去:yi zhi qu</mandarin> toilet then


can you imagine, like peeing for, eight hours, and like !wah! cannot I tell you don't even need to bother to wear pants already


(mmhmm), you don't exercise everyday use that as an example


actually people do that everyday mah, like those supermarket people, ya but <mandarin>不是很长:bu shi hen chang</mandarin> leh, (mmhmm)


(mmhmm)


I think it's okay, I think it's okay because and they never asked you to stand still, but if you walk around for eight hours a lot of people had done it before, stand still be very tiring


you like you muscles will definitely feel very pain, , isn't there like err


isn't that like, competition, oh my god we thought about the same thing eh, eh but did you know that that, the car is technically not very free, like the value of the carbon after you get it


cause they give you the car but <mandarin>没有给你那个:mei you gei ni na ge</mandarin> COE, talking about tags thing one ah I remember like <mandarin>站这样久的时间:zhan zhe yang jiu de shi jian</mandarin> not worth it


oh ya something like that lor like just I remember it is a very bad deal


it, but as long sell <mandarin>要:yao</mandarin> refer, like doing it also


I have no idea, oh I think no more already right


but <mandarin>没有我没有看到:mei you wo mei you kan dao</mandarin> eh, not this year last year also have, is always there ah, ya but actually it's quite a torture I wouldn't do it


especially at the start so many people leh then you have in that positions, there is there is


but like, oh, why why cannot


!huh!, then how to compete you want your friends to win but then you also want to win


that one is different what, this one is a car it's a freaking car eh


(mmhmm), okay so oh, what is the pettiest reason that you would dislike someone


!wah! let me think ah, (mmhmm)


as as as the things that make me, angry is not small to me eh, like maybe if you think that for example, what


for example using my cup lor


to touch my thing ah, and I drink from it what and there was one they're supposed to drink from this cup


well if somebody's mouth touch it before the the elements inside and atoms are all wrong already, or tainted by another person DNA, so that's why I don't really like lor


suddenly they don't want to do, that's normal, that's fine


think this one <mandarin>我们两个都有点:wo men liang ge dou you dian</mandarin> none, okay err oh my god if I can instantly master three new skills what would they be


coding, coding, stupid actually done it when I was young why did I go and study like whatever I study


!aiya!


the Lin <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> T, why sergeant, I don't want to be in the public lah, I mean, public sector


talking about police force right, isn't that the public sector, oh


don't want lah I want to do my own stuff, okay the second skill, !huh!


(mmhmm), planning staff into gold, we will like oh ya yes that sale is a very important part


like err negotiating, making them saying that the product is good, that they need it in their life even though it cost like fifty dollars


a month, , if you are selling things correct, I think that, something we need nowadays era like basically if you got this skill right you are set already you can sell anything eh


you can even sell shit to people and they will buy, ya I think so


new skills, oh err translating translation, ya, like, translating documents lor from languages languages


then <mandarin>我就可以在:wo jiu ke yi zai</mandarin> another language <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> lor, like it can be those like super experienced translators they earn a lot, oh did you say the video of ebony and eminem translator


when he was wrapping then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> translator <mandarin>在那边:zai na bian</mandarin> , ya ya ya hand hand, !aiya! shit the translator ya then hand, ya, she went crazy sia hand


ya, well, so this tree, you eh


keep up skills fast ah


be a jack of all trades, (mmhmm)


ya ya I think I think you very slow


oh my god of comedy for sure, definitely, I want to be like,


ya comedy like every time you will be like want to, like it will be my first to go to ah comedy, ya like life is so so, so tiring already why you want to watch like


romantic shows that made you cry, will make your heart ache like especially those korean drama I tell you, like they will make the guy like super, like super <mandarin>帅又温柔对你很好:shuai you wen rou dui ni hen hao</mandarin> that kind


!wah! then, then don't know what sometimes will break them apart make it so complicated then, they all like #ai mai# #ai mai#, end end up they love each other so much then they get back together but the whole whole time right the whole process is so frustrating eh


it's like, !huh!


like what sia I cannot deal with those korean dramas, office quite funny ah I feel like even I even though I never really laugh at


and with the jokes right, I laugh at the jokes leh, I just like sometimes you know why, !huh!, very stupid very very monotonous very dull


how many seasons ah, oh, that's quite a lot, it's almost as many seasons as friends eh there's like nine right


around there lah around there, my friends is awesome, you never watch friends, ya lor that one is nice


who, oh, ya after you finish the office you watch friends okay


wait then yours eh you never say yours, why don't want I say I like comedy eh, there's no such thing ah


you say like drama though, but drama and comedy is different, but you say drama, you just now you say drama


what's the next topic


!huh! I I I don't think, I don't think I have any leh, I I mean I cannot remember now


err it's like a very bitter lah, ah ya, , then it's like but <mandarin>你会想到一些:ni hui xiang dao yi xie</mandarin> situation meh


!huh! so you stealing, oh


oh my gosh


, but, in the end it's being caught what


oh, for sure is a bad boy, you lie


COVID ,


but that's how capitalism that


ya lor, I agree I also think capitalism is a bad thing, but nobody will stop it honestly


now like I think hor so like err, then <mandarin>我们一直:wo men yi zhi</mandarin> produced <mandarin>这样多食物:zhe yang duo shi wu</mandarin> right


it's like, faster rate than they are reproducing, then <mandarin>我们一直:wo men yi zhi</mandarin> just forced <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> to reproduce reproduce so we can eat them, and is also causing the whole earth to go to hell what right


I honestly think so ah because the way we are treating these animals, I feel so guilty for eating chicken chop and salmon today


!huh!, no is totally not just because we are a higher species doesn't mean we can just <mandarin>杀杀杀:sha sha sha</mandarin> what


but then it would be best like <mandarin>这个世界有一个:zhe ge shi jie you yi ge</mandarin> system, like


ya then the thing is right okay let's say


so you all can had the choice of more meat, but for women right if they want more meat right, they will have to, engaged in activities that it's a bit more tiring than what they normally do


whether you whole day at home you do nothing, but if let's say you go to work, as a seamstress, or something you can you get more meat, or if you like


or you exercise a lot, then you have to produce evidence that you go to, exercise, no


ya, I feel like it's the only way to ration it out lah but I also know is impossible lah <mandarin>因为每个人都要吃那么多东西:yin wei mei ge ren dou yao chi na me duo dong xi</mandarin> then <mandarin>如果有钱:ru guo you qian</mandarin> of course they want to buy what they want to eat mah


!aiya! but, I mean that's my ideal kind of world lah because it means that, the elderly people don't have to suffer anymore already like they will be able to eat, the amount that fit's them


like they don't need to err be hungry anymore, everybody you will get the amount of food that they need, for example don't do like all this china people right they always, they are always like their food is always full of food and then they don't finish it that kind of thing always watch #dou yin#


!wah!, they indulge in a lot of stuff leh, and actually it's very wasteful lah they go to like, they're gonna buffets and order like plates and plates of meat


I feel like it's way too much lah, nobody needs to eat the much food you know, and that's precisely this kind of people right that are making, the planet go to hell


I mean once in a while you love yourself is fine


!wah! otter <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> slimy <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> leh, ya, no it's furry but not in water


they look like it ya


same lah same lah


or, I don't know leh three wishes very hard


oh maybe you can wish for more wishes


like in today's terms, money is very important, followed by, err


and, no doesn't mean that, if you have all the money in the world but then you don't have happiness then what you living before


no no no no it's all temporary happiness, I feel lah


cause you will be filled sick people, then you will be alone, for me I cannot be alone lah


just wish for genuine people to around, , then what would you wish


, stability


maybe, oh


eh <mandarin>我忘了:wo wang le</mandarin> eh, my third wish also, probably world peace


ah, the inside the brain like not well


I mean it's a lot of cruelty, !huh!, how do I know


, no, I shall not disclose


okay


(mmhmm),


!wah! that's that's very extreme, so you like


wish for the power to, can make them good


okay , !wah! , okay what's the next point


if you drop everything to follow your dreams what would you risk


the two circles ah


(mmhmm) my superpowers ah, oh unusual


I guess, oh, , (mmhmm) maybe cause like


ya like like, bulletproof,


okay ,


I feel maybe will have like


game boy


ya, yup let's say now I open the time capsule


ya lah, probably game boy, ah then


game blade , I got spare gameboy


ya , but anyway <mandarin>有那个:you na ge</mandarin> upgraded version <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> screen <mandarin>会比较:hui bi jiao</mandarin> clear

okay , game for speech, ya is a car racing


!wah! sad that's very sad leh, do you get cane a lot


!wah!


then they whack you


oh my god, the, the last time I got cane was, when I lie, I lied about


how much I spend, when I went out with my classmates, I don't know more than ten dollars cause last time the money, like when you young you won't have a lot of money


and your parents give you money too, what do you expect my parents expected me to spend within a budget, and give them a change back, then I spend all the money, ya then I tell them like err I honestly I don't know why I never tell the truth I I just bought food


no ah I think, they give me twenty dollar, then like I go lie to them say I play bowling, like four games but then it was like two games, then the rest of the money


I forgot eh I don't know eh is it that they call my friend and all


I don't know lah but then, came, came with a bit bitter why hardship


ya, they mark me my father mark me put that love, , okay moving on


that's all like cancel, then be like a, or maybe is, we put swimming goggles


the last time you don't know where to swim meh, oh true true true


, you first


what labels do I think I've been given by the society, I have been given the tall label


that's all lah tall ah just very tall, ya, or a joker lor, the clown


I don't think I have problem, I was fat, everyone around me still mention that, no fetch me


really, I think cause I was good at sports, like football

just tall ah for now just tall ah


negative, I don't know, I have been called, like, very act or like fake, my one of my friend but then he said


that was last time, you know what I mean now you're okay with me, I'm not sure , ya I don't really care


I opened one, like I will I will say hi lah like like cause you last time I means that was in primary school


then we move on the secondary school, then we we still quite close, until he drop out of secondary school


I don't know there's nothing to win here, I mean in the end he still my friend lah


there's no win or lose,


!wah!, oh


you already answered yourself what cause last time nobody was tall, other than you, everybody skinny nobody make fun


I guess, I just, of course ah I I hang out with, like the people around me, I guess in a way that fat I mean like definitely I didn't, have any admirers or what lah


I mean I wasn't bothered like just leave my life lah, why should I bother how other people think about me, then now see I don't have friends, ya


about second label ah, okay okay


that should be the way lah


moving on, oh


most memorable, the carb
