counting of the days, like thirty I think what we, covered thirty days thirty days [sial] !wah! gila babi sia thirty days, every night confirm from like what nine o'clock until three four AM talk talk talk don't know whatever we talk rubbish


, Jialat sia but it was fun ah anyway at least we don't feel separated ah


ya but at least at least we don't feel separated ah like you know it's weird ah it's damn weird cause you don't physically see your friends hor, so you see them from a virtual screen macam everyone dalam kotak-kotak sendiri so pelik ah but


still okay ah at least you see you still see them lah you know you don't you don't you don't keep a distance ah like you know hide yourself know is good also for your mental health ah you know


ya ya pity them ah that one rabak ah or people who are you know alone lonely ah nobody to talk to ah !wah!, Jialat sia


ya lah ya lah but you know err, hopefully hopefully but luckily luckily the whole the whole circuit breaker like you know like, stop lah not say stop lah like there's still a lot of restriction ah I know there's a at least we still can now can at least go out meet people or you just be out alone you know just lepak lepak or what but of course keep a safe distance lah


ah then at least people you know it's good to be outside ah like you stuck at home !wah! mati sia mati mati mati confirm mati one but but but good lah we can go out


ya very strict, then some more ya spanish friend then the my friends like in Italy all they really stuck !wah! Jialat sia I mean I got talk to them ah they got say is boring ah but then you know for their safety


of their own people also also lah was for themselves especially and for their families lah but you know, but hopefully this thing know this this pandemic !walao! confirm hopefully


ya I heard ah rabak eh rabak sia like that one hour or maybe they have a few few hours only to go out then very strict !wah! rabak rabak but rabak one is in india ah !wah! the police rembat sia the police !wah! that one that one really rabak ah the police rembat the people who go out but then you know it's not supposed to be that way lah but then what to do they have to be very strict right but hopefully it's not going on now lah


band okay ah, err, busy ah biasa lah family people


Wan G also family [pe], Wan G also work busy he also dia baru cakap sikit hari rabak sia kerja macam recently start rabak ah after public holiday macam err apa kerja daripada pagi dia start pukul sepuluh habis pukul satu pagi that kind


ah kat rumah [orh], but tak tahu ah but dia dapat keluar weekends ah but I think weekends also he go out also spend time with wife [orh] like what else he can do right


what, oh ya ya ya ya ya


oh, but


soon ah soon ah, urgent matter, urgent matter should be jamming soon


like semua semua put on hold lah okay lah but at least other bands macam ada jam ah like space ya quite active lah like no cause we also we we also


finishing up our EP what, but then not jamming it's more of mixing but that one also would be like on friday on like, err friday night ah he


like take some time off just to do the mixing lah but I think cause that time we prioritise on that first lah cause dah lama gila [seh] like hold back kita punya recording, so


don't know finding the for the best deal expensive sia like mastering


err oh tu dia punya mixing mastering suite eh


ya I heard ah I heard but I will sit down and talk to them see cause we still need to sit down and discuss about the design cause we planning to release like song by song ah instead not like all one shot ah on spotify ah


I don't know ah that's the plan ah I follow only cause I think the the whole idea of song by song is like at least you know scared like kita release macam all one shot [kan] nanti macam people get bored easily ah like ah so kita punya style gitu ah I mean is four songs only apa it's not it's not like a whole album lah if whole album then


planning ah there's also the plan to do a video clip ah


but but don't know eh err, what what's the whole concept ah you know what I mean the whole concept of the EP is macam is all err is is interconnected ah is like err is like err macam a story ah from song number one to song number four


ah yes concept album so semua macam interconnected ah there's a story to it ah, so kita plan macam release song by song right then every song ada different artwork


so the artwork will end up with one whole piece of artwork that is all relatable ah err so, ya lah that's the plan lah but we need to sit down and talk again lah cause also budget lah budget we of course to do video like this must have you know err


budget ah see what kind of concept lah then also must pay for mastering err then we use up some money also for for our recording and all so but then we'll see ah we'll see how it goes ah pelan-pelan ah pelan-pelan kayuh ah


well okay lah at least moving lah you know cause we were we were stuck ah cause of the circuit breaker ah cause we were already in the process already, mixing during before circuit breaker like really


uh most likely will be Wan G lah, in-house ah better ah cause he cause he understands the song or if not we try to, I mean like me Hanis Akid sit we sat down and talk we we say maybe we can call Zaki lah Zaki ex-member [pe] so at least he kind of have the same feel of the band lah ah but see how ah if he is interested ah if not then we get Wan G lah you know at least so I mean Zaki left the band


and then you know he he was also part of the whole recording journey in the beginning [pe] ya so then tak kesah ah then we will we'll see how ah kita nanti duduk berbual we discuss with everyone see if they okay with it


Zaki freelance ah, graphic design, but


this cafe ah, designer ah, then lepas tu err circuit breaker dia kena laid off just like that, (ppc)


then kena laid off so dia struggle ah but I think he's doing graphic design and also food delivery ah but okay eh the food delivery actually actually cannot help cannot help ah


ya but motor also still need to pay for motor mah, petrol ah, but okay lah I think he's he's okay he's still it's it's a struggle but he still managing it well ah


complete ah complete ah Aisyah said it's complete I I heard the heard the whole mix we listen back the whole mix, got got got yes later I let you hear, so not bad ah I mean simple don't want to make it over very overly mix if not like rabak sia like like overly produced


, , we try to go as classic as possible, but okay lah at least we tried ah, (ppc), !duh! rabak rabak rabak rabak rabak that one rabak but okay lah (ppc) we see lah


cause I don't know ah I want to release this fast lah this year I want to try to release all the best ambling with lah, err yes


ya that's why


that's why


ya but entah lah eh


I think he doesn't show ah he doesn't show that he needs to struggle lah but but before that dia he was okay what when he he haven't got he was going to get married I I, I think he he he manages to save some before that then at least during going to the phase of the wedding he doesn't really struggle lor


like struggle so much lor if not !wah! !walao! eh if you always like you push away everything right then you just want to focus on that marriage marriage or wedding ah, it's a wedding


yes, correct is focusing on the wedding instead of you focus on the marriage cause if you don't know leh like you spend so much so much on


one day and then you struggle for so many months for that one day ah !walao! eh, oh ya lah beli rumah cause rumah expensive but then got CPF [pe]


but then again both kerja full-time [pe] full-time should be able to sustain apa macam kalau you say you like freelancer okay ah of course ah that one Jialat but but full-time confirm every month you will get


money in your CPF then


then plan plan plan plan plan after five years can sell you upgrade ah, ah actually true, very small sia


err true same cause three resale three room bigger sia, like you more spacious old lah old a bit but then at least spacious you got space you can like, err true


Wal house small err Mamat house also quite small, same same as Wal house yes same, err, but also ya lah I think


Zafran house big, correct earlier BTO that one big his house big like other other people house like all very small ah like Hud house also actually quite small eh, correct correct correct Yadi house more cramp lah


cause I think he put a lot of things inside but I don't know lah but I don't know come back to [sial], hopefully you guys get to tour lah next year at least next year lah


cause I think their wedding is september eh, [kan], who, this october, !wow!, !wow! ya ya it's about time lah she also needs to settle down lah


ah she is I think she's good at managing time also ah ah I think she very disciplined ya but that's good lah at least she want to get married lah, ya at sofitel [kan]


part-time part-time cause I got see her on instagram then I ask where she working now ah then she say, where she get job lah cause I think she got laid off at the previous place ah, ya outram or #tanjong pagar# that one then after that then she say she get another job lah but good for her lah at least she but she knows how to manage lah she she say actually good with time and management lah that's why she can handle the


the rental that's the good part ah


tapi tu rabak juga sia kalau dia cabut , but entah lah


so in a way he Bo Pian ah he come down ah, I mean just their style lah so so he Bo Pian ah he Bo Pian he like err so I text him like eh you jamming ah !huh!


they book already ah dorang dah book !huh! serious ah dorang dah book semalam aku tak reply sia, then dia turun ah tu pasal aku rasa dia lambat cause dia kena settle family benda punya [pe] I mean he work also busy already then he needs to spend time with family so Bo Pian ah


ya tapi okay lah but missy shoot pasal kita selalu jam also on weekdays jadi dia pun tengah busy tapi kita tengok lah but definitely the plan is to record at least by


ya true, oh beat a


okay lah but at least you guys went tour already sia US, europe, I think so, cause I think personally, I think [sial] is very influential macam banyak influence err orang-orang probably also cause of


musically very strong ah


ah, ah that's good


those dark waves


I mean aku ikut korang yang time europe tour aku realise actually aku get to see many things, with little cost ah, ya lah ya lah ya lah


ya, but then again I think the twenty four hours pun macam can feel the vibe lah pasal you are still macam dekat another country [orh] then you see like even though macam say for example eh for example kau main germany ah but different parts of germany have different style like that culture is like super different ah


so at least you get to see that culture know macam Berlin really very, power and hipster hipster-ish very ni and then you go to another part of germany is like very more rundown ghetto sucky very kampung like in kampung ah but then


it's it's it's at least that one day one day or that twenty four hours eh is also to me an opener ah it's still fun ah it's still fun ah I mean as following tour ah so


yes, ya lah, but then again also I think it's not also about touring ah I mean you make the network but say next time you're not touring ah you just want to go for a holiday you go holiday to europe ah then you like want to meet friends you already have friends there and then they are very welcoming sometimes you even


ya so


, ya that's why, that's why that's why I mean


I think he very selective of the places he wants to go, I mean I think dia maybe that his style ah if he don't like that culture or not say culture ah he don't like the vibe of the place I think he don't want to go lah


that's why, cause aku realise Siti is is quite an adventurous person looking at her travel photos like when she posts on her social apa instagram


ah tu pasal ah


that something yang holding her back ah , scared sia, cause cause I know her partner is not an adventurous adventurous person ah, ya but tak tahu ah


probably lagi susah lah pasal Lal pun macam Iman'S league right and then it's very


then macam tak ah ni tak kena ah ni very very Iman'S league ah okay tak apa then dia akan tukar to change to kita punya vibe, but ah Lal recently like did like quite a


did did a few songs ah one two songs, then everybody fill in ideas lah lyric lyric wise would be Dol lah cause his lyrics are actually very good, Hakim fill in


melodic parts, yes correct, he he he did give some ideas err when we take in some ideas some ideas macam tak kena lah pasal it's not our vibes but he tries to control not to go into macam very rubik's vibes


ah skate punk like a lot of, err but he will try to control he he don't want to macam dia tak nak tukar the sounds, ah bad religion I mean influence ah cause we influence with bad religion abeh macam influence with rise against Dol punya influence is heavily rise against


heavy Lal is very melodic guy Lal suka melody so he, japanese punk like cause he grow up with macam he grow up with a lot of ska music and then japanese ska japanese punk rock he he he dia banyak macam on that vibe but aku is more very bad religion penny wise ah


Hakim is very Propagandhi


apa at least everyone's ideas plays a part ah, confirm blast [kan], oh oh Farhan eh


but entah eh, but but, ah ya


make it sound more raw, ya more organic, can feel the difference yes ya you can feel the difference if you play single pedal and you can even feel lah you can also hear that is double ah like like there's always for me like if you play single pedal you play that double pedal sound you have you have that a bit of latency


right, I don't know ah is their style ah, but then also to say again missy shoot also playing that kind of song ah that kind of vibe ah but then


ah ya ya, ya relevant bands ah


they they they they suck life ah or they suck ah actually personally I don't listen to them already ah like rarely listen to them, bad religion still stick to that sound but then ada modern element I feel ah that's how I feel


penny wise will still be that sound ah cause it's still skate punk but then they always seek, err still have still around they still playing gigs, last year they release new album what, last year ah not bad lah but still the same sound ah


I like penny wise but I still prefer,


ya ah professor professor sia vocalist professor [siol] UCLA sia, but they I think they really grow up with not the skate punk scene but they grow up with the the punk punk scene ah they grow up there


ya but like you know like like penny wise for example they all like err surfers and skateboarders mah, so but bad religion really I think raw from the streets ah but they are very intelligent people ah


, tony hawk pro skater eh , no I don't like him ah


but cannot ah, but okay lah see how lah missy shoot, no but we going to jam soon cause Wan G got a new bass


I don't know his brother-in-law give him, ah I forgot it's a weird shape weird shape one then he just need to redo the everything ah so he give to Hakim Hakim


Maggot Maggot ah Maggot setting up for him ah then he gonna after that we jam ah, composer, all of us ah together but Wan G is the one that do everything lah so


yes err so we input ideas lah ah like but but Wan G will will Wan G will do first lah at home then after that after he do


err then he will adjust okay okay let's meet then bila time jumpa baru like minor tweaking and tweak as much as possible, then dah lah see how pasal kita record with no clicks then very simple err


miking macam drums only four mikes err so that's why some sound macam really tak boleh dapat and stuff lah but we this is like a trial ah for me lah it's a trial ah but then nanti tengok ah like in future future recording kita do it like better ah


cause Hakim macam dah offer eh next recording aku aku will make sure like all the all the miking will be better lah, I don't know he ah to me it's okay lah


ya but I think along the way right he he realised something lah and then along the way he he he he discovered new sounds ya so keep discovering new stuff right


ya lah that's why dia dia discovered tu pasal that time actually dia offered to macam eh macam kau nak rerecord balik kau punya drum but then, ah but then aku cakap eh tak ada click [orh] we don't play with click so it's gonna be susah sia like okay lah we try ah I did record like what we tried half a song ah but it's difficult cause there's no click


yes, yes cause the cause the feel is different already but I manage to record half the song but after that he said eh


err better ah, cause he discover but good thing that but good ah he's very hardworking dia discover sounds so he he knows more stuff so next time round he can give more input lah but then again it's not a bad recording ah this time


style ya correct, but he


ya cause you will cause when you buy new stuff you keep discovering new sounds then you you want to add you want to add but I think probably, music writing you need to be contented in some ways like okay


I got this one I discover this this new sound eh I will keep this new sound for the next one so we do with this first, then that personally for me


spacedays punya vibe is because we we needed to, do it fast ah cause we delay too long already ah ah so we we we say never mind lah we we we told Hakim next next time when we you know writing new songs we want to record


we do it with you ah but because we already comfortable eh and he knows our sounds we know we he knows our sounds, he we know his style so and he will give the good know the good the good stuff lah, and then he also good he he always like investing on his stuff he got a lot of stuff as in equipment he invest on vintage stuff which we like ah ah recently we went to his studio right he bought this like


ah bass man ah it I think is, big one the big one tall one ah bass man fender bass man I think he bought for like what seven hundred plus then he he refurbish balik err for like four hundred plus so he actually spent like thousand plus on that cheap


but the thing is he always right he damn lucky ah I think I think he's damn lucky ah like he always find things vintage right but at a good price, ya


good sounds for the band lah, so far his recordings are actually good ah his personal his personal personal recordings is like everything that he plays himself or


he gets sessionist to play actually actually very good ah for me lah personally like like that seventies sound, ya but don't know how patient Yadi is lah, cause must commit correct must commit


cause Hakim is very hardworking that is his his income [pe] his livelihood [pe], a lot a lot of bands, he he


but ya cause depends on the bands lah but from what, then apa tu force vomit pun tengah record, sia


ah so Ranggi is actually macam , Ranggi is err some of them ada budak-budak dikir barat ah


so dia macam pergi dekat dia lah but then banyak lah then it's like side bazaar bush man dia punya side project, no no no he he got another reggae band


err


comic strip play for comic strip also drummer ah ya ya ya Rizal, he covered ah session I think for sound province but he's a good drummer lah then dia main for this band aku tak tahu siapa lagi a few more guys ah like play for his band


so I think recorded there also, err even stoned revivals ah remix sound that song oh no actually stone revival re-record one of the songs but to make it err make it into malay also err I think Goodil eh


ya lah but how they do it right is like err err, some parts we record it in singapore then the tracks will be sent to australia Esam Esam australia Esam will record, err we record over then will send back then they mix then will send back again then he will do the vocals there then send back they mix here ah


so dorang macam rerecord balik ah ya, but then financially maybe tak sangat lah


ya but it also depends on him what he I don't know but, don't know ah but, I I don't know ah but but but that depends on him maybe he's comfortable using that but but okay lah I think Zad also not bad not say not bad is actually he quite fast that he becomes really good ah


youtube Siao he is, one thing about him right he if he into it right he really go all out ah into it ah


yes correct, but then see lah maybe maybe in future lah maybe he also looking at it, ya ya that's why, he really invest ah but one thing about Zad I realised if he's really into it he will invest so if he have enough he will invest he invested on all the drums stuff


good sia cause he feels Paiseh lah want to borrow people, he always borrow he like that one but people actually say nothing just use lah I mean we don't care if it breaks it breaks lah cause it's a wear and tear


ah


that's why, like we don't know like maybe dulu dia pernah macam have this friend who like okay just use ah then after that after using already then like eh !wah! now I want to you never give me back macam you know


of course


if it breaks it breaks then what can I do cause, it's not something which is non-breakable what it's something like confirm one day it will just spoil but okay lah I mean I understand


ya that's why kesian sia I know he's been macam dia berbual dengan aku ah like cannot wait sia I cannot wait to play drums sia, ah I cannot wait to lepak I cannot wait to record you know I told him lah if you need to record a band say for example band want to record you just record then call some of us lah we can help you set up the mic setting ah


but I know he some I mean knowing him, ya I know, maybe he accidentally say for example we set the mic he scared he accidentally scold eh macam don't like that then he scared people like heart hurt what hurt the feeling hurt what so I don't think he's like that


but kita dah cakap ah I mean I already told him also eh kalau kau need to record you need help you just call us lah ah we will we will not ask for anything we will just help you ah cause you is is is you are the one doing the work


ah we don't mind we don't mind we don't mind cause end of the day we are all friends like you know, I even I even told him lah if he's not recovered then missy shoot want to record then you need help to set up the mic and whatever lah run everything if ah confirm, after he recover he will take a while before he can really carry heavy stuff cause that one is a heavy impact injury lah so then


at least you know before to record we come here lah we help you to shift the whatever lah amp, ya shift the mic lah whatever then you just tell us what to do then we help you run then everything goes on cause we we willing to help cause we know you have the potential sia, you're the


go to in a way go to guy you know, err cause of what you produce ah, so we'll see lah, don't know lah, I know he he some more him being very anxious guy, err so he needs to get out


he confirm don't want, he confirm don't want, ya lah, no the thing is the no the PCN walk that time the plan right Zad was okay Zad wanted to do it he injured what


ah, no but the thing is this type of thing right the PCN walk right you cannot pikiran you know just go regret lepas tu ah regret after that ah but there's no regret ah I mean for me personally when I went err the walk was was rabak ah the starting was fun cause everything but


towards the end, is, cause the leg was giving, it's mental ah mental ah it's it is more of mental


then it was like matahari dekat mata the sun was already like in the eyes ya


we chill for about five ten minutes then like okay guys, no it was so crowded cause it's already weekend what then then we just walk ah so that the last one point five click right the moment we entered with we


entered like the one point five click way to Punggol end coney island was like the longest four point five click we ever walk ah


ah but Azil also said never mind ah we take it slow ah don't don't, don't force yourself lah you know then to give up also now is like wasted sia ya no force is force but not say don't overexert yourself ah


so you you still go but we take it slow never mind don't care about the time but as long as we reach there we settle ah ah so we did manage to finish ah so the moment we touch that thing right kita cakap kita sampai right


eh take photo take photo take photo lepas tu kita pergi tepi pengsan I lie down already sia I lie down already I don't care already take out shoes take out socks Azil take out socks take out shoes Aisyah also sit down then all termenung already like good twenty minutes, twenty minutes half an hour after that Aisyah like okay ah then we all like come lah let's go ah Hafiz waiting


eh Hafiz fetching ah jalan to the Punggol settlement there is like another one click ah, ah ah


so we had to walk for one plus click ah, , we had to walk for another one point five click like that like, so that was the slowest walk to Punggol err settlement but actually during the walk right going like when it starts to get really morning right


I I almost got into like hallucination already cause it's tiring already ah like oh dah penat ah dah penat ah dah penat ah mata dah rabak I cannot think properly then like want to smoke also malas you know like want to minum air just drink water ah drink water drink water drink water drink water


ya lah breakfast but cause Aisyah ah Hafiz fetching Aisyah mah so they wanted to go makan then they ask you and Nazril kau dengan Nazril plan ah nak pergi makan mana then kita jumpa somewhere tu aku cakap eh tak boleh ah


so Hafiz fetch us fetch actually wanted to fetch fetch Aisyah then we wanted to grab home then Hafiz cakap eh tak apa ah aku hantar korang ah


ah, Siao


ah ah, oh there the park connector ah


go to coastal, east coast, ah apa oh ya ya cause coastal

yes, that is when I learn actually not really but, I put on the most make up at that stage


of my life, ya I haven't I started in year two or year three, yes haven't, but it's not that ugly lah to be honest

so we do the same things but differently, so I cannot tell you, I did I totally forgot

together they met through uni Y, I think so it's like, last time I don't crack so it doesn't crack easily then is just like get like last time when I do this right it doesn't crack one but now like after awhile I do this then you it crack


Sian I hope later don't rain but I also hope it rains, what do you mean

oh like this rank all the, , if you found a time capsule from yourself ten years ago, what would be inside


!huh!, ya like <mandarin>如果你找到一个:ru guo ni zhao dao yi ge</mandarin> like time capsule, ten years then what from ten years ago ya oh my god you will be like thirteen, can you not <mandarin>你可以不要:ni ke yi bu yao</mandarin> mah not that young


ten years ago ah like I that means <mandarin>我放在那边:wo fang zai na bian</mandarin> like <mandarin>十年前:shi nian qian</mandarin> Arbo then like ten years later then I take out, what would it be inside ah


I think twelve years old <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> just <mandarin>就要很多钱给我去买吃的喝的玩的:jiu yao hen duo qian gei wo qu mai chi de he de wan de</mandarin> can go like arcade play you know, eh twelve years old <mandarin>我还可以跟我的:wo hai ke yi gen wo de</mandarin> parents <mandarin>拿零有钱:na ling you qian</mandarin> then <mandarin>我要:wo yao</mandarin> like like you just like <mandarin>跟她讲:gen ta jiang</mandarin> err


I mean <mandarin>我不够钱吃饭:wo bu gou qian chi fan</mandarin> then you know you can use the money then you get like you know you don't spend a lot then you will save a bit hor then you go, that's cause you keep eating


poly my GPA no it's like <mandarin>是我的:shi wo de</mandarin> GPA plus ya


last time where where where do I go from there like after after poly, like why like will I go to work, or like I would go to like uni


actually I don't know eh, like, I think <mandarin>那时候的我:na shi hou de wo</mandarin> just <mandarin>要:yao</mandarin> just <mandarin>要:yao</mandarin> like get over, poly


yes but I don't want to enter the workforce yet


like I mean like you'll be working like from monday to friday that kind of thing or like worst off right you work as like auditor that kind of thing right you OT OT OT you go where eat sia


they delivery ah


are you sure you are not one now


I don't want sia like, but I don't think that would be something that I want like it's so, like, like it will take up a lot of your time you know


but tax is like a nine to five kind of job what like <mandarin>你早上去:ni zao shang qu</mandarin> then <mandarin>你下午:ni xia wu</mandarin> eh <mandarin>不是下午:bu shi xia wu</mandarin> lah like <mandarin>你晚上就回:ni wan shang jiu hui</mandarin> like <mandarin>傍晚就回家了:bang wan jiu hui jia le</mandarin> like the normal office job like that but then like if you


cause audit got more things to do you know like they need to do like sampling they need to do like err, they need to prepare the whole like audit report and stuff


but then <mandarin>你去做:ni qu zuo</mandarin> tax hor <mandarin>你只是:ni zhi shi</mandarin> like just <mandarin>看那个:kan na ge</mandarin> client <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> general ledger <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> just like okay <mandarin>这个是可以可以:zhe ge shi ke yi ke yi</mandarin> deduct <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> from tax then <mandarin>你就放进去:ni jiu fang jin qu</mandarin> then you just like do the tax computation then that's all you need to do you know like at most what you need to do is just communicate with the client and then like check with them like err so what was this expense for what was this amount for that kind of thing cause if like let's say <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> GL then like not clear


ya so like is, I think is like way simpler than going to do audit I mean audit is just like, repetitive, steps and stuff but tax also what, but it's just like tax <mandarin>做比较少东西:zuo bi jiao shao dong xi</mandarin> audit <mandarin>做比较多东西:zuo bi jiao duo dong xi</mandarin>


, is it


I mean, but it's not like like <mandarin>我在我在那个:wo zai wo zai na ge</mandarin> like


company <mandarin>做的时候:zuo de shi hou</mandarin> is not like <mandarin>我做这样长:wo zuo zhe yang zhang</mandarin> right, I think got ten weeks like, when did I start phase two of circuit breaker, and she's


june ya about, I think about there lah, then until now, then like err, I mean can is can lah just a bit Sian lah like if I get like very bad clients like


like <mandarin>有些他们的:you xie ta men de</mandarin> attitude <mandarin>真的很:zhen de hen</mandarin> bad, like cause like when they, when they speak right, they like err let's say you send them you send them an email then you ask them for like err details that are unclear regarding their GL


then after that they will be like, ya but then they just like they will just be like very reliant on you, then


they will just say like like <mandarin>我都给你了做么你还要问我这种东西你不会自己看:wo dou gei ni le zuo me ni hai yao wen wo zhe zhong dong xi ni bu hui zi ji kan</mandarin> meh, that kind of thing then it's like, okay lor like like what can we do you know, it's just like you just got to suck it up that kind of thing you know like you #bo pian#


I mean office job of course no need lah office job like admin who also can do what that kind of thing ya lah, but as in

ya ya, what you mean, uh oh no what it's like if you submit already that means submit already what


uh but <mandarin>没有那个是因为:mei you na ge shi yin wei</mandarin> like <mandarin>以前:yi qian</mandarin> before COVID it is like


what you mean now like <mandarin>它都放在那个那个那个东西里面了:ta dou fang zai na ge na ge na ge dong xi li mian le</mandarin> of course <mandarin>是要:shi yao</mandarin> attach now lah <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> attach <mandarin>几时:ji shi</mandarin> sia


I don't remember but, maybe okay okay


as in is your obligation to do it what ya but it's like that is like, it's like <mandarin>他们在帮你:ta men zai bang ni</mandarin> already it's not like they are they are supposed to do so it's like you the duty is on you the responsibility is on you


to go and <mandarin>因为是你要:yin wei shi ni yao</mandarin> apply eh <mandarin>又不是他们要:you bu shi ta men yao</mandarin> apply, as in they can just take it as <mandarin>这个人没有兴趣:zhe ge ren mei you xing qu</mandarin> apply <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> lor then <mandarin>你也不会去:ni ye bu hui qu</mandarin> email <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> ah


wait wait you mean that like <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> email <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> then <mandarin>他们讲什么:ta men jiang shen me</mandarin> ya (uh huh)


oh so they haven't reply ah, but <mandarin>很奇怪:hen qi guai</mandarin> sia like you know last time the process quite fast one like you submit the moment that you submit your supporting documents and the application right like before <mandarin>学校:xue xiao</mandarin> start right then or like when the school start


then they will like approve the like the status will become like approved or like, something already ya no no as in ya but then like, like the how to say


it's like they will show that the status will show that is granted to you already no no as in as in not instantly but like like before school or something, is it


wait which one like bursary twenty twenty, how can it be, twenty nineteen ah not twenty twenty ah I thought <mandarin>我在那个:wo zai na ge</mandarin> group chat <mandarin>看到:kan dao</mandarin> twenty twenty


twenty twenty lah, but <mandarin>我们是:wo men shi</mandarin> like sem one apply what no meh I see


oh my god, ya but I think <mandarin>我每次都是:wo mei ci dou shi</mandarin> sem one apply, then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> sem one <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> sem two covered, uh (uh huh)


oh is it oh, what is the grant like


as in from both parents eh <mandarin>加起来:jia qi lai</mandarin> leh, monthly


then where the <mandarin>八百多:ba bai duo</mandarin> come from, you mean like the the per capital the per person one lah per person I only six hundred plus per month eh


ya, I mean like can is can apply but the thing is whether like you know some


but bursary <mandarin>只有这几个:zhi you zhe ji ge</mandarin> what, then even if you get the highest one <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> like


just the the similar amount only mah like <mandarin>没有差很多:mei you cha hen duo</mandarin> leh, !huh!


I think for you lah <mandarin>我家还要再:wo jia hai yao zai</mandarin> divide leh, if I if I were to pay the full amount right it's like very


taxing on the family, but if like the subsidised amount like after the grants and all that right it's like the still can afford range, you get what I mean, like let's say the bursary, no like it's like school fees right without the bursary and what not right then of course is like <mandarin>还不起的那种:hai bu qi de na zhong</mandarin> you know cause like you see I got my


my sister is in poly then poly the school fees <mandarin>也没有很便宜:ye mei you hen pian yi</mandarin> leh, but <mandarin>我懂:wo dong</mandarin> like <mandarin>没有很便宜就对了:mei you hen pian yi jiu dui le</mandarin> lah, poly leh


is it don't remember, I mean ya lah secondary school primary school, ya sia but


there's nothing you can do, so like then now even even more like it's even worse, ya but now is like worse you know cause like the expenses just keep going up, cause you like you see ah like now I'm in uni haven't grad yet


haven't graduate yet then, ya I still get allowance ten dollar a day, like <mandarin>你没有去学校就没有给的那种:ni mei you qu xue xiao jiu mei you gei de na zhong</mandarin> lor


so, ya lor, then just ten dollar per person that kind of thing


ya for a day lah, actually but, ya that's why but I mean <mandarin>我最小的弟弟不可能拿:wo zui xiao de di di bu ke neng na</mandarin> ten dollar lah, (ppc)


oh like his pocket money is still his pocket money one


he's still young, he's only like primary three only leh


cause he playing the game what, I mean what do you expect from <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> primary three kid that just want to play


I mean you can always come and interact with mine, you know like he will be very curious who you are speaking to


oh like you know like let's say, like for example like <mandarin>你在你的房间里面:ni zai ni de fang jian li mian</mandarin> right, then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> just like <mandarin>开住你的:kai zhu ni de</mandarin> laptop, then <mandarin>他真的是:ta zhen de shi</mandarin> like <mandarin>没有事情了过后:mei you shi qing le guo hou</mandarin> hor like <mandarin>他玩:ta wan</mandarin> game then <mandarin>有时候:you shi hou</mandarin> like <mandarin>他会跑去:ta hui pao qu</mandarin> kitchen then like find


like <mandarin>开那个:kai na ge</mandarin> fridge <mandarin>找东西吃:zhao dong xi chi</mandarin> that kind of thing chocolate lah or like he'll find like those snacks that kind of thing then he will like eat then like when he going back to his room right


like like ya for example when you Skype-ing someone or something lah then like <mandarin>你跟着那个:ni gen zhe na ge</mandarin> screen <mandarin>讲话:jiang hua</mandarin> what then <mandarin>他就会很好奇:ta jiu hui hen hao qi</mandarin> like eh who is she talking to that kind of thing you know, then she will then not she then he will like come into our room then he will he will like you look at you first <mandarin>他会看住你的:ta hui kan zhu ni de</mandarin> then <mandarin>他看你了过后:ta kan ni le guo hou</mandarin> hor then <mandarin>他就会:ta jiu hui</mandarin> like


like like <mandarin>假假在那边:jia jia zai na bian</mandarin> like <mandarin>没有在看你:mei you zai kan ni</mandarin> then <mandarin>有在看你:you zai kan ni</mandarin> then <mandarin>没有看你这样:mei you kan ni zhe yang</mandarin> then <mandarin>你就会:ni jiu hui</mandarin> like <mandarin>看住他你要做么:kan zhu ta ni yao zuo me</mandarin> like what you want, then no it's like sometimes it's very like


then <mandarin>他会:ta hui</mandarin> like, after you see who is it, then he will like walk away


then <mandarin>你就问他:ni jiu wen ta</mandarin> like, !huh! no lah then he will just pretend lor like no lah I not looking for you then after that like he play game play until he Sian already right like nothing do already then he will just like walk out of the room again then he will come back to you

so is like <mandarin>来你们帮我画吧眉毛:lai ni men bang wo hua ba mei mao</mandarin> lipstick <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> blusher on

I mean it's not ugly lah it's just like <mandarin>从远远看不到眉毛而已:cong yuan yuan kan bu dao mei mao er yi</mandarin> lor, , like no as in <mandarin>不是谁要看:bu shi shei yao kan</mandarin> is like, you will be self conscious like no lah that time I just want to play so exactly that's why I'm now self conscious but after like I think after ya after like B comm like business communication the module then we have to like put make up what for the for the resume the photo or something no but like you know got the workshop also eh ya sia I agree


oval ya like more oval then I'm like so what's my face, ya I think so cause it's like my cheek bones, are very like, defined ya ya that's why that's why <mandarin>我讲:wo jiang</mandarin> like <mandarin>我下面的:wo xia mian de</mandarin> the lower part of my face is really <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> square <mandarin>来的:lai de</mandarin> ya


no it's not round it's not round you know like if is circle right I think like your here will be like, more like your here

!wah! <mandarin>没有看过:mei you kan guo</mandarin> but I think <mandarin>你的脸也是比较:ni de lian ye shi bi jiao</mandarin> square <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> leh like you if you look at the lower part of your face right, then is like from your cheekbones onwards <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> like <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> square <mandarin>这样的:zhe yang de</mandarin> ya <mandarin>你回家去照镜子:ni hui jia qu zhao jing zi</mandarin> lor


eh ya sia


I still I still remember I think <mandarin>那时候:na shi hou</mandarin> like, I can't even do like a proper one I always have to do the you know like the the the girls version, no, no


uh lah ya lah ya ya <P2> dongqing </P2> they all started doing I think all along like, ya she got do what all along no meh


actually <mandarin>我好像没有什么印象:wo hao xiang mei you shen me yin xiang</mandarin> of <mandarin>她去:ta qu</mandarin> training, is it, true true


no the thing


excited for her, why, ya but you need to understand that to her right


to her right is like , how to say, like


so like the moment that she tells you she likes someone right she'll be very into it, so like she like, she like <mandarin>活在自己的世界里面:huo zai zi ji de shi jie li mian</mandarin> you know like ya like you know, ya she is she is objective lah but like


what I mean by that is like when <mandarin>她喜欢那个人:ta xi huan na ge ren</mandarin> right she will be like, very open already, to the person lah like


ya as in like she not sure whether they will end up as a couple, but, she will tell you like things like she have a feeling that this guy has like he's also like keen


!wow! that is, I don't know because she only like she only tell me like a few only I never like and out of the out of the ten out of the like so many guys like not so many like all of the few that she told me right, only like


only like this one, now that I've it's like I feel like


so, ya,


no leh I I just feel like, I'm sorry lah but, it's like, for me is like, no the thing is like he keep


it's like a, like you want then you like, it's like I don't know how to say but like, it's like


but then, not to the extent that he would want to get together ya like it feels like <mandarin>他只是要:ta zhi shi yao</mandarin> like


cause it's like you see like normally I will say lah like, like if you overshot the period of time, it feels like you're just dragging the person along with you


like cause you don't want to commit to anything, like after awhile lah cause the girl confirm will get tired one like no matter what they say right like, no matter what the guy try to say or do like it can be like !wah! <mandarin>很心动:hen xin dong</mandarin> you know and stuff but like <mandarin>久了过后:jiu le guo hou</mandarin> then the girl like will think like


why this guy like so long already then the guy also never like make anything known you know like never make a move or anything like never tell me like oh I want to get together with you that kind of thing it's like you just keep like you just want to maintain the <mandarin>暧昧:ai mei</mandarin> relationship, kind of feeling then like some


I think to certain point I think she will get tired lah but I don't know whether she can, ya whether she can, do it lor, cause it's like if for me lah like I don't like it when like, I will just feel like what what what you want from me like


cause it gets a bit frustrating after a period of time like you will be like, why you want to, !huh!, err, I don't know like he's he also his long is never not very long


what, it's only like I think like that time was like what we got closer towards the end of year two or something, that time, then ya all the way until year three lah but that was like at the start it's like he's like still normal


like he never you know like is is only like towards like year three like we going to intern already cause intern was our last semester mah then, the year three sem one that kind of period then suddenly like he will start talking to you like


like what, I wish you were here that kind of thing, no you need to understand is like we know each other for like so damn long already it's like


just that because like when you were in secondary school we were not close but we got closer because we were in the same class again in poly year one and like we are like the only person who know each other so we just go to class together and we were even mistaken as a couple by his current girlfriend


ya cause she was sitting she was sitting beside <P2> cedric </P2> and I came in with <P2> cedric </P2> so we were litterally sitting side by side the two of us, then like I remember <P2> dione </P2> was sitting in front of me


I don't know leh but I me and <P2> cedric </P2> I think both of us were like quite, like <mandarin>快要迟到了那个时间:kuai yao chi dao le na ge shi jian</mandarin> then <mandarin>我们进去那个:wo men jin qu na ge</mandarin> class, cause I remember it was like I think, DA DSA tutorial ah is it the decision something something one the mod then the tutorial ah then it's the first time we see each other in class mah ya that's the first tutorial that we have so I was like I still remember I was like telling <P2> cedric </P2> and telling like <P2> xuanling </P2> or something they all that like eh oh my god like


this is like, so, so like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> then I was like !wow! <mandarin>我不懂:wo bu dong</mandarin> what to expect sia it's like, but like when I saw them then I was like oh I think is at first I didn't know that


it's just not close lor like, not like don't feel the connection anymore and it's it's more of like, ya I just want to, distance myself, so ya then like I didn't know that she got ask him say like


eh <mandarin>你们两个是不是:ni men liang ge shi bu shi</mandarin> couple that kind of thing cause I didn't hear anything honestly ya cause she saw us coming together mah so I think then she thought that we couple, then like I just like then when I found out right then I was like !huh!


like what you go ask him such questions ah then I'm like what, I don't know I think it was like, year two or something like cause year one honestly like even though I got hang out with her


we don't really like talk, deep and like talk much kind of thing ya so like year two then like, got like talk cause like talk for quite a long period of time already then like a lot of drama and in between also between her and her other friends


then like that's when like she, ya kind of like she started <mandarin>她会跟你讲这些东西那些东西:ta hui gen ni jiang zhe xie dong xi nei xie dong xi</mandarin> lor then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> just <mandarin>听:ting</mandarin> lor, then <mandarin>你听了过后你就:ni ting le guo hou ni jiu</mandarin> like, oh like okay no


I don't know ya I know, but I think you can say so, stop being weird <mandarin>不要这么奇怪:bu yao zhe me qi guai</mandarin>


(uh huh) (uh huh)


it's the same meaning what, okay, okay sure


but <mandarin>那时候是:na shi hou shi</mandarin> like it's only, it's okay lah is <mandarin>正常的:zheng chang de</mandarin> lah <mandarin>你每次都是这样的:ni mei ci dou shi zhe yang de</mandarin> lor like like you are bored right then you will like want to find something interesting to like keep you awake


no, there's a very sheepish no


after so long, uh, oh then <mandarin>如果我去:ru guo wo qu</mandarin> join <mandarin>的话:de hua</mandarin> leh


oh my god, maybe I should reconsider my choice ya it's very big one it's different department right (hmm) oh what do they do


err, err, , , ya


I don't know man, I mean like, just like that lor, but you will see the two of them like got, hang out or something one like go library then they got like common friends or something I think oh


oh maybe lor oh, okay then the moment you start cracking it


like, you see ah you hope that it don't rain means that we can go and run


but, sure


but <mandarin>你讲那个:ni jiang na ge</mandarin> gym <mandarin>要:yao</mandarin> book ah, err, but <mandarin>要:yao</mandarin> book like, ninety minutes, is like one and half hour lah okay lah


ya lor, my house got, , maybe one day you will be able to do it


if you will, then I still remember last time the first time I tried, going to a gym, intern already then I was quite close with <P2> chye heng </P2> they all so like


I think they, did, but not cause it's just because they short don't say they never get bigger hor , like they are not that tall but they do, get, because I think like muscle wise, I think lah I think


oh I don't really care


what leh what about oh, as in for them I feel like it's like their arms


getting more toned and like becoming more muscular, for for arms lah I feel ya a bit bigger, change <mandarin>只是:zhi shi</mandarin> like


maybe, bigger than <mandarin>以前:yi qian</mandarin> then like it's like bit by bit kind so maybe like because is a bit by bit then you don't really see the contrast, and <mandarin>就觉得:jiu jue de</mandarin> like <mandarin>好像没有变到这样:hao xiang mei you bian dao zhe yang</mandarin> leh <mandarin>他不是长得一模一样:ta bu shi zhang de yi mu yi yang</mandarin>


chubby chubby ah but I think, chibi is what


ya like <mandarin>小小只的:xiao xiao zhi de</mandarin> vibe lor, but okay lah but he's nice, his photo is I like his photos


as in okay lah depends lah like, I like but


dependent on his editing style cause some of his edits is nice I would say it's nice lah like it makes the picture looks better but some of his edits like the tone is too dark


okay andrea so today , let's chat, K


cockroach


ah, but


I think, I think <mandarin>泰国人有吃:tai guo ren you chi</mandarin> lizard <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> leh <mandarin>他们有:ta men you</mandarin> bake, yeah


ya I think it is a local delicacy, well the question you didn't say it was house lizard or wild lizard mah it is really up to your imagination mah


then you eat it you eat it as appetizer


me ah I think, fry it [loh] deep fry it like you know season it with garlic pepper and then, the deep fry it like or put it on a skewer and barbecue it


eh you know ah


salad, as compared ah to you eating a deep fried rat on the street right


you will probably get food poisoning from, the salad


!huh!, ah but you eat salad what about the water water quality in the third world country are not clean so when they use that low quality water to wash your vegetavle right your vegetable is actually contaminated [loh] although it is served nicely on the


on the Ritz Carlton plate


hello it's all about packaging you know, , so let's say if there's only one food


that you can eat, for the rest of your life like just one food


it is always bread, I can toast it I can make french toast I can ya I can actually do a lot of things with it


you know so I think I I prefer bread, more than the staple the usual staple food for asian or in this case is rice so yeah, if today you ask me rice or bread is always bread ya


eh but I I enjoy making bread like, you know during this err circuit circuit breaker right


yup I cannot I cannot bake well in fact I have never tried baking bread before I've always visualise it but then I've never tried baking then until one day <mandarin>我讲:wo jiang</mandarin> okay lah let's try


passion it's really not for people who say that oh, you know uh oh <mandarin>因为我想要吃到新鲜的面包:yin wei wo xiang yao chi dao xin xian de mian bao</mandarin> because most of the time right


yeah most of the time you end up just blessing people with what you cook what you bake, so, ya but


but I'm very thankful that you know I've taken a passion for baking and, and I haven't been buying bread since then usually ah if I go to a bakery I will start buying bread and then I'll spend like ten twenty dollars


how is mermaid tail green


oh were I <mandarin>我觉得有时我们看好像:wo jue de you shi wo men kan hao xiang</mandarin> social media whatever people post right


[orh] <mandarin>颜色很鲜艳大家看了都会觉得很好吃:yan se hen xian yan da jia kan le dou hui jue de hen hao chi</mandarin> but in actual, fact right, and sometimes the texture is not nice sometimes the bread is hard and you know but you cannot properly you at some angle you cannot tell it through the picture the picture ya there's a saying that picture tells a thousand words but not really true at times it it only takes a very sharp eyes but because nowadays people also got very good photography skill


yeah, but


I will say they're are complaining that you know, when you work from home it it doesn't look as if like, what they have always wanted to because you have to wait, you have to shuttle yourself between the kitchen to cook meals you'll have to tend to the young children to help them with Zoom meeting


ya so I mean thankfully I don't have to do any of that because , I'm not working, but I can I can feel the tension lah that others think that my friends mention especially when you know I have a friend who have like five children yeah so besides cooking for them usually lunchtime she don't have to cook because the children have in school but now with the circuit breaker


, my friend have to cook lunch and then also help her five children too you know to manage the Zoom meeting and they they take turns to use the the laptop because there's insufficient to go around so ya lah it takes a bit of adjustment but I think


no choice because, so <mandarin>我们就不会把那个病菌传染:wo men jiu bu hui ba na ge bing jun chuan ran</mandarin> talking about


they're not very well versed with the news and and they probably don't have a smartphone that actually have daily updates from the the government website so


that's why probably we need the ambassador to to walk around and probably give them a gentle reminder because, to them ah is like oh <mandarin>我肮脏吃我肮脏大:wo ang zang chi wo ang zang da</mandarin> you know they they probably from Kampung and you probably think that I you know I eat with muddy hands also I I didn't die but you know so now what is this virus at a talking about like cough lor like you know


but, I think <mandarin>我们有看到我们就:wo men you kan dao wo men jiu</mandarin> may be gentle <mandarin>的提醒:de ti xing</mandarin> lor <mandarin>也不是说他们想要死就死:ye bu shi shuo ta men xiang yao si jiu si</mandarin> [loh]


reminder


eh old age <mandarin>也是怕死:ye shi pa si</mandarin> leh you think what


you know I really miss traveling you know I used to always , I always like you know ah travel to Batam once every two months you know those were the days right ya or go to Malacca at least twice a year and all that kind of thing is it's not it's not very far


but, this whole pandemic right I think the the thing that affected me most is my travel


my travel , frequency lah so called, you know so err, do what do you miss most


ya ya ya of course I saw the waterfall


then we came to this waterfall so it it was nice but it's not something that I'm I I marvel at so yeah <mandarin>如果你问我:ru guo ni wen wo</mandarin> !huh! will you go again I say err no I will not go hiking again because I'm really not a <mandarin>户外:hu wai</mandarin> person


yeah so yeah but I I miss cameron highland as well I miss the weather ah yes I miss the


I also don't know why, did you,


yeah, I miss err I miss Malacca I I always think that, I have this , special feeling for Malacca, not, I don't think because I'm from the peranakan roots


but because I I I don't know I really appreciate those old or buildings, I, I'm not a person who is into, , architects you know on or buildings and things like that but every time I go to Malacca I like to look at the shophouses especially the little details the little painting on the wall


ya there's a Malacca river that, , I have been to Malacca many times but I've never really been on the Malacca river until, there's one time claudet and I and james we went

don't eat so much lah, ya but nobody gets indigestion except you !aiya!, it's so it's the way you eat you should slowly chew your food


eh <mandarin>你有吃到:ni you chi dao</mandarin> meh


I don't know because because I I I go there so so frequently I cannot remember which trip was that


that's why you go you will find a family store family store ah, and there's two new outlet in Malacca ah I tell you is like bustling busy <mandarin>很多人很热闹真越玩越热闹有一个靠近我们每次住的那个酒店:hen duo ren hen re nao zhen yue wan yue re nao you yi ge kao jin wo men mei ci zhu de na ge jiu dian</mandarin> okay then <mandarin>有一个大间的在:you yi ge da jian de zai</mandarin> jonker street <mandarin>每天都是排长龙的:mei tian dou shi pai zhang long de</mandarin> [loh] <mandarin>因为我不懂:yin wei wo bu dong</mandarin> leh <mandarin>他们喜欢去买那个关东煮:ta men xi huan qu mai na ge guan dong zhu</mandarin> ah then you call it Odeh yeah you see at probably because is halal also so you see a lot of people queuing


and plus they really have like japanese theme pastry are like cakes you know the Sando those fruit Sando that a japanese call it with, fresh cream and fruits in it yeah I tell you is is and then they display as so nicely or like the japanese store like that lah so


you you actually see a lot of locals err and you also see or of course lah <mandarin>我们这样的新加坡人进去里面:wo men zhe yang de xin jia po ren jin qu li mian</mandarin> [loh] theh !wah! !wah! !wah! lor then <mandarin>排队:pai dui</mandarin> ah


I don't know usually I see the queue I I just Siam I just U turn and go out, them until I find that there's one smaller family store near the hotel that we stayed I stay at Estadia lah like you have not stayed at Estadia they have a smaller one near Estadia


err <mandarin>差不多都是:cha bu duo dou shi</mandarin> and then


oh now the cafe already closed down her yeah you but anyway okay lah the food is not really fantastic it's just that the ambience yeah the ambience the decoration of that cafe are a lot of pity it looks like a tailor shop and then ya but it is actually a cafe


err it's closed down already the last time I went I went to check out that place is already closed down


ya lor I think but the earliest we can go traveling is probably next year, but then you heard you heard or not then these two days they are talking about they found new virus


mutant virus that means the virus from corona, have already so called, it became stronger yes yes, you you didn't realize read ah past two days news you know


vaccine, there are still testing what, I mean vaccine is something that you need to test and then after that you know inject you with the virus and see whether how really are you immune to it or not what right


so I don't think the vaccine the vaccination is gonna be ready soon lah but anyway now they found a a stronger virus that is actually, mutate from, the corona virus or COVID nineteen so and then they say that is more contagious is less deadly but it's more contagious and it comes from malaysia


tourism right so


Zoom meeting <mandarin>的时候被裁员:de shi hou bei cai yuan</mandarin> ah


they're just do it I mean they just saying I mean they are just advertising for the sake of it but actually they are not hiring


because I don't know but there's there's one particular, ad right that I actually applied for in june, they say they are still applying, I mean they're still hiring


but the thing is, I'm quite sure because that for that one position are there was at least three hundred over applicants you know but there are still hiring there are still hiring somebody who is similar to that position that they they they posted


I I don't know


and I think nowadays really leh a lot of people a lot of people are grabbing or snatching job lah because even even the pay is little I feel like little like probably


a person who was needed to to take temperature, and there are hourly pay is about seven dollars I mean I even applied that you know in aljunied town council they need somebody to take temperature in eight AM to one PM so one hour is seven dollars


or ya I won't say disappointed lah but you feel a bit of hopeless at times you know everyday you tell yourself, things will be better I mean what goes down, will sure bounce up one day right but


I still apply but, I don't put too much heart into it because if you if you do like everyday you you, you will open up your email you don't see anything coming into your in box then you feel a bit of rejection


who say who say nobody sell <mandarin>水果口味:shui guo kou wei</mandarin> your world is very small lah you okay ya come how do I make the bread look like unicorn <mandarin>算了吧:suan le ba</mandarin> sounds complicated


hello <mandarin>我刚刚说:wo gang gang shuo</mandarin> it sounds complicated


ah


what you call that it is a test is a test of your memory and a test of how how much you actually thought of our friendship


ya, yeah we we we know each other since nineteen ninety five then is like how many years already <mandarin>几年:ji nian</mandarin> your maths lah like twenty five years no no no no no twenty


yeah, twenty five yeah yeah of course is twenty five, yeah sometimes you you don't think about it lah


we were only colleagues ah for three months and if your even same department colleagues at ya I think only once we went out lunch once


ya, so to actually come all the way till today in the same room doing this recording


it's really not easy lor I I think is it takes a lot of effort I I think, you know yesterday my husband told me


because I was telling him you know some of my friends even some of my church friend, doesn't talk to me anymore but, if, you know my husband says that, it's not their fault


you know it could be, it could be something that you know there's bothering them


I did but I was returned with a a very cold, hello so


it doesn't mean that if you are born in a family right and then you are just bonded, naturally with a relationship not true because you you do see families that


ya so I'm I'm I just wanna tired that I'm very thankful that I have you in my life oh yeah I really not every time we see eye to eye not, you know not every time that


one giver right, and the more domineering one I understand and I agree <mandarin>我承认我就是这个比较霸道的因为我的性格就是这样你不让我赢你就一定死定:wo cheng ren wo jiu shi zhe ge bi jiao ba dao de yin wei wo de xing ge jiu shi zhe yang ni bu rang wo ying ni jiu yi ding si ding</mandarin> okay I'm so I'm I'm actually very thankful lah I'm telling you this and on the record as I am very thankful to have a person like you in my life


yeah


I try not to over think, I


no it's true it's true I mean it's it's true it's what you said the scenario it could be true but sometimes ah if you you have to think so much about what maybe she's like that maybe is like that I'm so


I don't know lah I I think it's very tiring process to overthink so, I just try to okay, the fact is yes I say hi he didn't want to say hi !hey! then you than just leave it you know just leave it next time I see him again I will try


because I think yesterday will one of my friend told me something that


I I don't know whether you you understand what it says or not is like, no if you sow the seed right, not necessary not necessarily right you will be the one doing the harvesting


I sow the seed I must be the harvester <mandarin>的心里:de xin li</mandarin> right, then maybe <mandarin>人会好过一点:ren hui hao guo yi dian</mandarin> lor because if if you insist ah if you insist that oh I sow the seed you know I'm the one who water I must be the one ah to see the fruit of this harvest then I think


if anything that if if any hiccups along the way all for example if the the crop fail then, the failure it's gonna impact you greatly and <mandarin>你会觉得很挫败:ni hui jue de hen cuo bai</mandarin> [loh] even <mandarin>觉得:jue de</mandarin> like


so <mandarin>我觉得我应该去调整我的心里:wo jue de wo ying gai qu tiao zheng wo de xin li</mandarin> [loh] that I can I can still sow the seed but, I don't have to be the one to be the one to harvest the crops lor


really !wow! last week Yihui just bought this, the the hawker told him that its


old tree <mandarin>红霞:hong xia</mandarin> so he bought is like one kilo twenty five and it's really very nice, !huh! <mandarin>对啊对啊:dui a dui a</mandarin> andrea you did the last right okay the last time that we went to Kovan the old bus interchange what you call that


I bought two two of the fruit is <mandarin>红霞:hong xia</mandarin> yes it is not <mandarin>红:hong</mandarin> as in <mandarin>红:hong</mandarin> it is Orangey in colour


is just <mandarin>非常非常好吃:fei chang fei chang hao chi</mandarin> the characteristic of the <mandarin>红霞:hong xia</mandarin> is sweet and the flesh is slightly sticky is not creamy one is not creamy like


like you know D twenty four is creamy, and is fleshy or <mandarin>红霞:hong xia</mandarin> ah, the the the special part about <mandarin>红霞:hong xia</mandarin> is the seed is big so the flesh is not thick one the seed is round and the flesh is not thick and the flesh of <mandarin>红霞:hong xia</mandarin> is slightly sticky and sweet


yeah, ya


I think they are very


brand conscious yeah it if you think about it are you in the past you used to have like those small durian right like you wouldn't take those two dollars five dollars Yihui likes to buy that nowadays the locals call Kampung durian but nowadays you don't have that anymore because nowadays locals


they they I think the youngsters, they they don't know how to pick right they always buy those vacuum sealed right so <mandarin>他们买的时候啊他们:ta men mai de shi hou a ta men</mandarin> err uncle <mandarin>你有没有红霞:ni you mei you hong xia</mandarin> uncle <mandarin>你有没有一零一:ni you mei you yi ling yi</mandarin> so uncle <mandarin>说有:shuo you</mandarin> uncle <mandarin>帮我开了:bang wo kai le</mandarin> pack


you know or worse people nowadays they they order online, oh I want #mao shan wang# four hundred gram, so if really if they give you #mao shan wang# or not you don't know but anyway nowadays are ah malaysians ah they don't come up with the Kampung durian anymore they keep within themselves they eat Kampung durian


no expert


okay, (uh huh) (uh huh)


ah so gross you know, because, cockroach you can still fry and eat, but


if you throw the <mandarin>壁虎:bi hu</mandarin> inside, have you ever tried, eating a lizard before have you ever seen people eating lizard before


is a source of protein for them so I think I'd rather eat cockroaches, and cockroaches got different grades, got madagascar, got hissing cockroaches, but much more crispy yet what do you think diana


which one would you eat, !huh! no, yeah


no you are talking about house lizard right, not big lizards lah
