, okay hello hi ah Amir how are you doing, !huh! okay ah, doing good err just I don't know


COVID situation, I don't know ah okay sekarang sekarang err I'm in army [kan] so, but the same for you lah you're also in army right so err it's just SDM ah social distancing


okay, (mmhmm), a'ah what are we doing now,


okay understand, , ya


bukan ah, ya for for any event you can have hundred people, I think so I'm not sure


I think it's still phase two I think it's still phase two no it's I think it's across like


they take turns ah like in six, ah macam pagi family then err petang just kawan-kawan dengan friends, ya, I'm not sure I'm not sure that's just what I see lah


ya, , yes, (uh huh)


(uh huh) uh ah,


next week is it a hypothetical situation or is it actually true, oh actually ah, ah okay okay good


okay lah, a'ah, ah evening semalam only semalam I posted about it, err, I don't ah nothing much about it it's to me it's err quite interesting what the government is trying to do


cause err, I post that like the last thing I said was err it's a measure, that is focused on, grades, but ultimately the aim is to take, take the focus of parents away from grades ah


so macam it's a bit contradictory, ah paradoxical [kan], err, like it it, because currently the parents' focus is on grades itself so, what other way to affect them other


other than to take the grades itself ah


really your PSLE score, really ah I see, ah I haven't seen that, ah same, , no wait no I haven't I didn't I didn't see that part particularly, it was more about more about the transition from primary school err to secondary school lah


as of time, ya ultimately uh what happens err


what secondary school the person goes to will affect their post secondary education yes that's true, ya but I haven't read up enough, anyways I'm not too concerned about err that, but I just found it interesting that's why I read up a bit on it, (uh huh)


err these days like, like I don't read the news, ya


ah, ya, basically that's the thing


err okay, I sudah tengok apa kebanyakan orang [kan], okay kalau tengok in army in army, applicable stuff in my opinion they're doing stuff that


okay not necessary that applicable but they're affecting the society, ya they're actually protecting society but when it comes to army [kan], ultimately what SAF is to singapore is manpower, they need the manpower to do stuff like


or, fireworks, I guess, so


ah pasal for us like, err we come from JC then, we just talk to our own people lah, ah own circle lah ya oh ya


, ya these two years not wasted, ya so far


ya ah, ya err, for some people kalau they didn't go to NS, err jumpa orang lain ah, so unless they went out of their way today, (uh huh)


, ah


ah betul betul actually it's actually true ah


, do anything else


ya true, ah ya I I agree like now is the best time to be in NS lah, but even in NS you can do stuff outside NS you can learn other skills in your free time ah if you have free time which, not everyone has free time honestly, then err as I was saying ah in army is penat so


err so army, a lot of people in combat stuff they will train combat stuff, err which wouldn't be applicable lah cause when will we go to war, god forbid ya


no no I'm saying it won't I'm saying it won't yes, because ya it's fighting but as a logistician, I think that the things that I learn err can be applicable lah, err recently I went through this uh ammunition course


then err, ya I learnt, ya I learnt a lot of stuff ah err stuff related to storage, and uh inspection, pretty cool ya


ya we can't talk much about that, ya not , err


going out with my family that rarely happens


ah homely vibes ah tak payah tak payah pergi tasik kalau nak pergi tasik pergi dengan kawan ah


ah, oh ya it's it's different, I see


ah easily ah ah


okay mah


(uh huh) ah okay ah, that's that's true ah


most of the practical, ah, same, ah, family sunday


err ya lah, for me I, I spend


on weekends mostly at home ah, I spend my weekends are mostly at home usually, this usually happens like on a whim lah, so, ya sometimes I just stay at home relax but at home


you talk to your family ah at home, ya, ya that's good, ah


a'ah ya really, ah, , ya


ya,


good point ya the thing with me is that I have, err, more women at home than men, so ya I only I only get to talk to my father about it but then, every time I go home he always, ask me questions about err when is our commissioning date, or when you will get a number one ah like that err


ya but during BMT err during BMT, err the start of the NS


Tekong juga ah, oh that time belum COVID ah, ah then okay lah oh I forgot ya you registered at the same time as me, yes, yes


bro I only have two tickets dude, I only had two tickets, oh !wow! okay that's nice, ah must be western wednesday ah


of course lah, , ten days worth of days, ya


ah, , that's true that's true ya, ya


yes ya, (uh huh), yes


(uh huh), ,


that's cool that's cool wait, ah ya you didn't do twenty four uh twenty four KM [kan], ah tapi the most recent batch they did err twenty four KM, in Tekong ya that's kind of torturous in my opinion, they didn't have anyone cheering them on


ah for for us [kan] bila kita pass by, usually Changi ke east coast ada hawker center, hawker center ah, ya, they were like oh thank you for serving the nation but


we were recruits lah we haven't shit so we haven't done anything yet so, ya, but is to is to , yes, ya BMT


ah that's a good point ya they just did, ya, ah nine weeks and then next one nine months lah, ah eh I thought it was the end as in I really thought it was over


no I'm kidding, ya it's not for everyone it's okay, ya how about you oh you're going to talk about the pay [kan], so err to me okay, allowance macam macam your parents give you during school


it's not much but it's enough for you to spend, err back in JC [kan] my my family gave me, two hundred bucks per month, which is a lot less than what I'm getting now but it was


more then enough then, but it's okay


ah okay, ah


ah, ah same,


ah, ah itu pun sekali ah


so it's their first experience of getting money, so they get carried away with how much money they're spending lah, they they think that they have a lot to spend so then they buy a lot of, things that they don't really need but


they think they can afford which, because you finally have a lot more money, but the thing is that if you carry that on then, it's as if you had the same amount of money before you just


I don't know okay maybe your, you don't save that's the problem, you just don't save but you just spend more, start saving


ah, , ah,


oh no me too, ,


ya, same, yes yes oh my god


oh, election ah, ya, ya that's how it is but uh personally I also don't


err I don't follow that much, err I I do invest myself, in local stocks so local stocks aren't really affected by the election right, ya but my my coursemates ah oh my gosh everyday, they talk about, like they either talk about used to be they talk about NBA but then NBA finished already


so now they're talking about elections [kan] every day they will talk about stocks, !wah! buy this one buy this one sell this one which one more expensive eh ah this one going up the percentages all, ya and err, ya and I don't really keep up


but I understand I think it's good lah I think it's good that, err more of our generation are learning, how to make more money from their money, ya it's, it's good for our future, like in NS you can save up to twenty thousand, plus plus


if you're smart with it, compared to, us correct


ya that's a good thing ah that's a good thing for the future, we cause right now we're not earning that much right, then when we err get actual jobs we will earn, a lot more a lot more than we do now, and if we carry on with this mentality then it will be good lah


but the thing is that after this, after these two years of apa earning money, we're going to go through how many years, at least empat at least four years of uni for some of us ah especially JC kids ah


confirm tak akan tak akan make that much money ah, err, you have to, I have to find a way to either make money or just I don't know I'm personally


no I don't want to burden my parents like honestly I don't want to burden my parents, like they're going to sponsor my I mean okay driving license is not that much ah, but they've been sponsoring my whole life honestly, so


for uni so they don't have to fork out more money for now, depends ah especially kalau nak nak nak stay in hall (uh huh) stay in hall, ya so, ya


okay, ah, ah


ya, , ah betul ah saying this do you have a plan


personally I I, I aim to at least save a excess of five K err by the end of NS, err because I I've I've made a lot of plans ah like I have the investments, and then I also signed up, I got I got tricked into no okay not tricked I got lured into


signing a deal with AIA investment savings plan, insurance oh my gosh yes, a few bucks okay lah about a hundred every every month, that they will take, then save it saves more than a bank of course anything saves better than a bank honestly


interest rates well, so ya just apply and then, other than that I don't know what to do, like maybe I should also start taking down, err how much I spend, that will be better right


yes, okay


yes, (mmhmm) thinking about it's, it's a rookie work yes it's realistic, ah kalau extend contract memang worth


(uh huh), ah betul betul betul during the weekdays, ah, ah, acceptable lah boleh tahan lah boleh tahan lah


, ah


ya actually though


forgot, you're talking about, NS pay right leading into something else, was it, ya financially independent correct


carry your own weight lah, yes, , ya the thing is that of course okay family is written in my blood you know, the they'll be there for life but they won't be there for life like for your life


you know what I'm saying ya the, like eventually you have to live your own life ah so, err you have to start eventually, and now is a good time to start being independent, ya we can yes yes we can that was the idea, that was like we were going to talk about food


ya I don't know it's you it's you you brought it up yes, what ya I don't get it, and like okay in school or like even now, people can talk so much about food I I don't I personally don't get it like wait have you tried this thing


or have you ya, not dude err not about that but what what did you ask Amir, what's my favourite food oh snap, err my favourite food is, the scone from texas chicken, the scone the biscuit thing


ya


ya, ya, oh, that's true that's true


for the taste or, nugget okay continue, yes, betul betul okay five


the the nasi padang business is


a drumstick, ah, !huh!


a'ah, ah, yes, ah


ya it's booming, yes, I do too I do too, ya same ah, so you look at malay people you got the highest obesity rate, highest diabetes rate probably I'm guessing


yes it's delicious, okay ya it's not so good for health, ya


you said comfort food right, #ban mian# ah #ban mian#, ah okay #tom yum#, ya, what is like the maggi #tom yum#, okay faham okay understand understand


ah, ah


yes that's true, like you ask semua orang in the family, yes ya my kakak kakak always ask me ya, ya, okay understand understand


, ya okay but for me ah tak kenyang [kan] err, just sedia dia untuk so and so, just so and so ya, so macam lepas lepas run right atau lepas swimming !whoa!


when secondary school miss the [pe] [pe], err swimming lesson [kan] ya then after that, everyone including everyone has maggi, yes


oh my god ya, ya, ya that was the times, ya, it doesn't fill but yes okay maybe back then maybe in primary school in in early secondary it fill


because I got a small stomach ya tapi sekarang I need I need a lot more, oh it's it's always bulking season it's like in NS it's it's it's mean, what thousand calories let's say ya ya thousand calories and I think that's not even enough for me


cause of the amount of work I do everyday but it's okay ya it's a eh that's another thing ah, err, sometimes okay there was a point like when I was studying for A levels right when, I was eating almost purely for sustenance, like I was just buying the cheaper stuff like err


what saying yes, !wah!


are you serious I went up by sixty ah, oh my god, ya, comfort ya it was comfort also okay okay okay


ah, (uh huh), yes, ya that was the essence


yes it's true, !huh!, ah yes ya and I didn't mind I didn't mind it, because it was a perk for studying


no the thing is that I mean for sustenance because, I mean it because I would spend five hours inside an aircon room, just going away at my books, or okay I don't okay lah I cannot read for that long but, ya reading and writing doing exercise for five hours and then after that, because I need to eat I will go out and eat


and then solat whatever, ya so, then after that go back to study ah that's that's what life was like, and ya like I said apa makan apa-apa doesn't, err doesn't matter as long as it's food, and it's cheap cause money was


I mean okay my family is is in a fortunate enough position to not worry about that but, considering how much I got per month yes


oh oh my gosh oh my gosh, yes, ya and then non muslims also queue up


no but I think it was it's fucker level it was fucker level, and, it technically was illegal in school canteens but it doesn't matter it was good and everyone liked it, and apa every week people will buy the nasi goreng because it was that damn good


ya used to be a secret menu item right, yes, ya, ya


yes, ya it's not it's not nasi goreng mamak or anything right, yes,


oh was in the canteen yes that's true, I never skipped lectures by the way, yes err unless it was bulan puasa ah


so ya I had a reason to not do homework at home during bulan puasa cause I had time to do it during breaks, that's a that's a very good point yes, no I sleep during lessons that's the thing, ya oh my gosh, the thing is that I still sleep during lessons even now in NS


nothing has changed, err except I have to study less now so that's good I guess, err no nothing nothing too complex I can make sandwiches but okay, but I still make sandwiches if you think that it's just


taking raw items and putting it between two breads no there's a lot more to making sandwiches the


just take and pop, okay kalau buat burger burger pun ada ada cara nak masak itu bukan letak [jer] burger, okay lah even on the pan okay fine I'm making it sound like there's more than it is, yes it is


it's not ya, ya, ya , , do you cook


okay, I remember yes, , I get that a lot


okay ya tak pernah buat [kan] first time [kan], a'ah lah, kecil [kan] ah probably kecil ya bite sized ah


yours was half a bite sized


experiment ah experiment ya


ah that's true that's true, a'ah, ya you don't you don't think about that lah as a as a new cook even, yes, they'll just tell you how to do things easiest okay sometimes they does, but even then even then you have to create ourselves


yes, yes ya pretty wholesome


ya sikit ah, and he dodged my mum, a'ah


ya, eh was that was that trip just for me, oh my god, ah, okay


okay, yes ah


eve of raya [kan] ya itu lah itu lah, my gosh that was mad you oh wait, !hey! !hey! oh oh oh you asked me to meet you that day tapi tak boleh ya ya, ah, ya thanks sia pasal miss err people you know but I don't but it's it's damn Ulu damn far


ya the things you do I I haven't done anything like that in a long time like, I find myself not doing very kind these days I mean I do, like if I see opportunity like err, for example aunty needs to bring her bags outside the MRT


ya like that I help but, err ya I don't see, like when it comes to friends I don't I don't I never see anymore,


it's not fulfilling [kan] ah tak memuaskan lah not fulfilling ah, ya


why is it, (uh huh), ah naik bus, ah itu ah,


, okay, a'ah memang ah,


ya, ya so, you doing the thing ah doing the thing, yes, yes that's true


yes ya, ya that's the that's the that's the silver lining in helping others lah, that you have to consider their personal dignity, like when I do volunteering also I go to people's houses and I clean their house, there's certain things that they will say don't do this


don't don't wash my dishes that's not for you to do that's for me to do don't mop the floor I can do that, can you just paint the wall, or like reach for the top because I cannot do that, yes, ya so when you help others, like especially old people they only want you


to help when they really need it cause, they they still want to feel able, like putting it bluntly they still want to feel like they can do things on their on their own, ya


, ya, ah yes


, ya so ya, I don't know I don't know how it got here, you talked about suji you talked about suji then I talked about helping friends yes


ya, ya food, it's not a question okay


(uh huh), I disagree kalau tahu or not ah the the the, and that affects the taste


ya then ada okay, okay I don't know man I don't know


okay


oh yes, yes yes very true very true


, yes


ya, fast food lah fast food is easy,


Ramen, ah okay betul ya ya, right, yes they can they can appreciate their prices because they're halal Ramen stalls, ya, ya


yes, (mmhmm), okay ya I think correct ah, ya you can have your pork


ya it's okay ah it doesn't affect me, ya I'm not it's just when I go out with them, ya like I'm your I'm your limiting factor when you decide where to go, but no they say they don't mind though, they say they don't mind


but do they though, ya a couple of times I've I just followed them to where ever they go then I just sit in, ah buy drink buy drink


ah, that's true, yes, not ice cream inside


ya ya your mum always that to put something inside but but I stopped buying I stopped buying though, ah tak nak beli lagi so, ya it is it is


ah ya like where we are right now ah, yes, so much, yes yes, oh bro ya ya ya it's okay that was an easy option


and they don't mind ya I mean ya they don't mind, that's true that's true, some will say ya like, ya memang apa halal food it's halal, ah err halal lah so everyone like once it's halal but then


a lot of the halal food is unhealthy especially malay food, ya it's quite ironic, ya I think ah yes yes malay the malay malay food


ah that ah, ya ya it's very obvious ya, found another fucker, ah, yes


ya, yes


yes malay community, err my gosh like you ask your malay friends, or apa apa renal disease


ya it's older generation lah, but you can change the recipe, ya


ah that's true


ya, bro santan calm down on the santan man we don't need that much it's okay, ya, but they don't ah, ya, yes ya and it tastes nice that we have


ya, (uh huh),


oh oh everyday, okay, okay, oh so wait the reason why you bring your own food is because it's healthier is it


okay, that's nice that's nice that's nice


sushi okay, err, I'm not sure about that but I think it is also I think it is, ya


definitely, ya by a long shot, wait or oh sashimi itself ya that's true that's true


oh my gosh ya sashimi is so nice like I, ya, have it more often


ah okay ah ya memang ah, yes, ya lah ah itu lah,


bubble tea (hmm), nah dude okay ya I get it like a lot of people, err I'm not a big fan I cannot appreciate bubble tea, like I I can taste it if, I mean like it's okay if friends are getting it together right ya then I'll chip, I'll buy along ya it's a social thing social thing


I wouldn't get it actually no I do get it on my own sometimes like if I feel like it, but my bubble tea preference is very small, I wouldn't buy the, I wouldn't buy the the tea flavours, ya so


I'm more smoothie I'm more smoothie, ya the oreo crush lah oh my gosh yes yes, Sweet Talk, ya bawah block ah


ah closed, ah, oh wait no but that oh tak tak tak no but no but upsize, ah


ya lah paling murah three dollar, ya, ya student card lah which I still use by the way, no it's not legal, I know


ya imagine if you are out for the whole week how much bubble tea will you buy


yes, ya that's that's the thing, no after we ORD right, err everyday you'll be out like imagine if you go out everyday, like the amount of money you lose compared to the amount of money you save if you signed on six months, is insane


ya ya extend the contract, I don't know no no no I'm actually thinking about it like the six months two K two K plus per month, no no no joke no joke, ah yes yes


I need money bro no but I realise [kan], ya, ya, and earn the same amount of money lah


ya, but NS is easy you're ya you're already there, ya


(mmhmm), cooking, let you learn other stuff ah


it's not, ah


!huh!, I think ya lah definitely


eh Amshar I'm doing good lah how how about you, you mean great and just


actually sekarang so far, what's up ah with you and your like the whole COVID situation how has it affected you, ya like your daily life ah


ya I mean to be honest so far my, life has been as per normal because now we all have, preoccupied with things that we need to do lah like like for example, I mean being in army like a lot of things already sudah restricted so, naturally we all sudah tak boleh keluar tak boleh go see our friends and all that so weekdays all aku pun tak free then


weekend is the only time I got time lah to go out and meet my friends then when we are outside also, got a lot of err measures that have been imposed ah that we need to, , you know follow so that you know sekarang tak tak dapat saman [kan] ya, you eh what you notice anything different now


as compared to last time when there was no such measures, oh ya now is like the limit is wait is it still five or sekarang sudah buat sepuluh orang is it


actually if I'm not wrong now kalau wedding [kan] then we can have up to fifty people right, one hundred is it


hundred people ah now so but is that part of phase three or is it just phase two regulations, phase two


oh so at the end of the day still got the safe distancing measures lah, oh so sekarang means ikut shift ah dia punya macam wedding or like


then I got wedding I need to go to lah next week then is, err from what I know they got three shifts starting from morning all the way to the afternoon, then they separate by like family and friends, people per like per time ah


so that they still adhere to all the the safe distancing measures and now also, the table sudah nak kena be err separated, then there's no like what intermingling lah between each of the people that are going to be there so the functional groups do not counts lah, ya I mean at end of the day this kind of things how to say this ah is like


it definitely affects how we carry things out like socially lah it goes against like social like norms, cause you go to a wedding to interact with other people and all that and but then I think given the, kind of situation, like I mean get to see each other also


I mean should be grateful lah, ya, oh no serious serious like my uncle's, err wait my uncle's sister wait that's my aunt ya my aunt is getting married


ya, okay ah, eh then that time your I remember you posted something about err, ya that one I'm not, ya


okay okay, okay


okay from what I saw there's like err a bit of a, contention here right because uh, some people say that err, you get certain score and all that then doesn't make you eligible to masuk like, JC or poly or something ya ya


something like that lah from that's what I understand lah but I haven't really read into it yet lah so, okay


oh, but I mean this kind of things if it's going to affect primary school then of course I think, err will also affect judging from err taking O levels and going to what tertiary education as well lah


ya, speak, ah,


I think for me I think it's the same for both of us lah especially, I still need to focus on getting things done and obviously focus on going home or booking out right


ya I mean obviously I think it's quite boring now, but then I guess in the future there'd be, maybe we'll need to use what we learn in army for our own good lah ya, so I think, okay I just ask you honestly ah do you any see do you see any purpose in doing NS now or not ah


understand understand, ya


ya, you learn life the life lessons that you learn are social lah, work with people, who are from like different different backgrounds like they all come from different areas lah


can or not, ya, like your own circle lah ya I I agree with you about that lah I think, also for me I'm having the same experience army


just give me the opportunity to jumpa new people to interact more with err, people outside my own social circle and, err I got to make new friends ah which is quite good also, and at end of the day I feel, that, err these two years err


how to say this not only I guess to a certain extent serve the country but also, , ya lah I mean we all have our different opinions about NS lah but so far ya the year is going to pass soon


ya these two years will not be wasted and I'll still get to, enjoy it lah while it lasts ya, (mmhmm)


, go to NS or choose to go NS or not to go NS, I'd say I think I would choose to not go NS lah because I feel, like err, I can err


well when I'm outside lah as in cause you think about it now I'm at my prime, eh I'm at I'm at my prime of my youth, I still go I can go out I can go help out treat my parents all that like they all am I as I think


most importantly is like my grandparents lah now is like the best time for me to after JC right, you know I take a short break I go help out my grandparents for a while and all that before I start school and all that I think that will be what I want to do and learn, you know travel around the world all that but okay obviously now maybe it's the best time


to be in NS cause I can't really, do anything else lah ya because of the whole COVID thing I can't really travel also ya but, I think okay ah now looking back err, it's not such a bad deal lah


, really meh you think it will really


help us meh like cake, oh okay fair enough, yes


, okay okay I mean


ya I guess I uh I mean this is no brain right so, ya let's jump right of the next bed let's go err Amshar what do you like to do over the weekend when you're not in NS, actually no let's change it now like


let's just say uh you're going out with your family, what's the activities yang kau suka buat like say on a weekend lah ya


I think those kind of places really got the vibes ah ya, cause I I I think I agree with you with that cause the moment you masuk camp


you really just feel like uh you're shut out from the world already then when you go outside that's when you can really spend time with your loved ones lah, ya and especially when you eat home cooked food, I think that's the one oh when my mum masak you know, ya that's , ya that that's definitely a different experience lah then when you are inside camp when the meals are all provided for you


ya but for me personally I think, like what my family suka buat kalau on weekends right is that, we usually try to make sure cause weekends is err bila everyone is, err free [kan] everyone got uh no plans so we all just go err at least have a meal lah together


and most of the time err my mum will cook and then err, we just make it a point to just sit down together at a table and eat ah, you worst comes to worst is err, how you call that we just order in food lah if everyone too tired, ya but


sometimes when there's a bit more free time or I'm blocked leave and now especially school holidays [kan], my adik and my mum they're free, so, even though err we then we will go out like, err walking or cycling lah just around the area cause I stay err dekat dengan apa tu east coast


ya so, we actually we stay in the car then we just drive around singapore lah you know that kind of thing, ya it's just it's just about spending time with your loved ones lah, ya


I think for me I like to, make it like seimbang you know err just have a balance, so betweeen spending time with my family and friends because both of them are, are as equal importance to me lah, ya because friends are what uh


has made me like uh what I am today for the, how could I say ah for like the latter part of my life so far but family, ya most of the chapter of my life I'm thinking about my friends lah, but my family is the one that raised me and had been with me throughout my entire life, so I definitely owe it to them ya and I genuinely err


uh enjoy spending time with them lah ya, so it it's definitely I think a struggle cause, so the, timing yang kita ada is definitely limited, so it's all about err that


what you call that, balance lah between err spending time with, err your family and your friends, I think definitely another thing we should talk about is the challenges, with the allowance that we get, your NS money how do you spend your money on NS Amshar


me ya actually, I'm quite open if we my parents so lately, ya I just share with them then they just share me you know how father lah right they talk about, eh last time dulu aku NS papa pun buat ini buat ini like last


ah dulu kalau nak pergi keluar nak kena march and don't know what, cannot what it's all they will just exaggerate the stories until it becomes so extreme, and I know they consider us the strawberry generation lah having it easier than them right so, it's nice to have a conversation topic you know with you parents a very natural conversation topic


ya then I guess to a certain extent it brings them together lah like they say it's err every singaporean son's journey right so, it's something that uh helps, maybe it helps me feel closer to my parents if not my dad lah ya and my brother also


ya


I think for me I had


my family also ikut pergi sampai Tekong and then they all, haven't haven't yet because it was still in january mah, so ya we all went, ya we only start just about I think a month apart so we're kind of in the same batch just the batch after yours lah


cause we're already went in batches then I remember that first day, my whole family follow me I think was me my, , what


ya cause err I don't know people had extra then they just give me ah, so the five of us just went in together then, then we went to the cook house then check the food then of course lah kalau first day [kan], they all need to set a good impression for all the parents so dia orang give the best food lah that they have, so obviously it was a western wednesday that they even there was a


what it was a tuesday I think ya or monday lah ya, and one of the worst workout days, then ah I remember that day !wah! boleh nangis [seh], ah first thing I went back to bunk ah I just, like !wah! what am I doing, ah rindu lah haven't been so


far away from my family in in awhile lah doing something that, I didn't uh explicitly choose to do lah, let's just put it like that, ya, ya but then I think compared to, my batch my batch didn't exactly get the, full experience cause uh we didn't get to POP at


marina bay you know that whole err walk, across east coast and all that walking together then, going through all the tiredness all the fatigue together, carrying everything back I mean we, didn't manage to do that lah but because my batch was more like


we just ended up at the parade square then we just POP there, then we call it a day then we went home, although we lost that bit of it I think, since my batch was longer I got really close to my, BMT friends lah and some of them they had followed me all the way to my new unit also which is


quite good lah then we'd be even closer ya, no ours was ours dua belas I think, ah the most recent batch they did twenty four


, err oh Changi food food center right east coast east coast food center ya


, but, I mean it's all about that , encouragement and that feeling of like you know you are finally finishing, of like that BMT journey right so, I think is I mean they give it to you all lah ah you finished


ya that nine weeks of BMT then you just, I mean you feel good about yourself lah, like before you go into your unit or your next phase of training ah, ya, yes, I mean it's not for everyone lah bro


oh ya ya that's true


, okay, okay


, , okay I think this kind of thing is like at first I was also wondering why then that's when I really started to


I spend my money on lah so you know the money that I get I just, think about it err the duit that I, err set aside for macam macam transport [kan], it's already like this much, then after that kalau transport there and back cause I don't know selalu aku take grab lah


then it's like I feel like ya it's easier what I mean taking MRT is cheaper, but time is definitely of the essence in this case cause I always want to, what book out early book in late ah ya so, what, oh the the amount of money I spend on


transport err food, and then after that err miscellaneous stuff they are like things that you just have to spend money on let's just say, err, going to like gift shop or the emart, to buy army supplies so these kind of things, it gets err what you call that you don't really think about it lah


at first glance then there comes the, other things that you don't need but you want lah, so that's when you really need to be more, err careful with the where you spend the duit lah


, , honestly correct correct ah, (mmhmm)


ya lah, slightly more lah ya you don't save, ya, but I think it's the this time is the perfect like opportunity for you to


start menjimatkan wang lah uh especially now that, you're really getting , that taste of financial freedom, especially on your on your own right so you really can decide what you want to do with your money, ya sometimes ah I understand, like what you said lah like when I first got it also I was like !wah! I'm actually finally getting money then I end up


no no no tomorrow lah at the start then can go out beli baju [kan], all the useless useless things that I don't really need, but then I want to buy cause I, finally have the, capability to buy them you know, ya then that's when I


err I started like really writing down everything cause I was wondering, where all my money went, ya then then then you realize err actually, there's a lot more that you can do with your money and one thing that, people are doing now is that they're really making their money work for them lah, come on especially NS right so with all the investing and all that


ya which, which I'm not so sure how it works I'm going to be honest but, now err sebab all got the macam mana nak cakap the elections [kan], ya I think everyone is just putting their money in it then they're waiting for the results now lah, because it will determine whether they earn money or lose money lah


(mmhmm)


ya, ya I think I mean, I understand lah maybe this generation is, the the mindset is a lot more different I guess certain extend it's like it's more towards like


err a lot a lot more people from our generation are thinking ahead, as as compared to err trying spending their money lah feeling that, I mean trying to err not to say like enjoy now lah, but err saving the money for retirement per se, that kind of thing or for their further studies and all that


cause err kalau you look at it right now, I feel that, more of us are more aware of what our, our future is like, you know and what how much we need, for our for us to like live a better life in the future lah ya so that we can always err


like help our family out lah or, at at the least like help ourselves out and not be a burden to others lah, ya so more of us are becoming more financially aware, and more, and hopefully financially stable lah, ya


four lah four, ya okay, ya


ya lah ah ya I understand where you come from lah, ah ya


, I think for for our generation it is like, ah no as in from what I've seen they're still, I think some people are from especially my seniors lah, some of them like kasihan juga lah you look at them then they're like if they end up


err just buang all their duit during NS cause they ya our seniors ah, all buang their duit during NS then because of that when they ORD they don't have as much then, since they're all what you call that ah, cause you know that that err we have that break routine


when once you ORD then the start school then they go overseas all that spend all their money right, then when you start uni then you really feel the crunch but you, don't have enough money lah for yourself, ya then , because of that you don't really get to, err fully enjoy your your life I guess


because you think about it let's just say you, spend all your money in one shot you don't get to spend it like, err throughout, I mean throughout your university before you actually like, get like a stable job lah, ya and I guess the purpose of NS NS, really like gives you that a bit of a headstart for you to have err financial independence ah


and really err how to say err jaga your own money, and do what you want with it lah


(mmhmm), (uh huh) yes


ya, ya, I think for me like what you asked just now right uh tadi you said


what was my plan right for investing I think for me it's not so much about investing but, uh what uh I want to do is that, I guess it for the next year I will try to get a scholarship lah that's something I would like to work towards to lah, cause definitely I really don't want to bebankan my parents financially lah and most of the


spending I'd definitely want to do it myself, and for the uni fees all that I really , how to say ah they like what you've said they've been supporting you whole life like maybe it's time you really take things into your own hands ah, ya and really just err be more


independent ya, but then if that doesn't work out !whoa!, maybe I might even consider signing on lah, cause okay if you think about it it's a, it's uh realistic it's realistic it's worth especially


the idea is that err kalau we stay longer kat dalam camp, err you don't spend money as much, definitely because food okay realistically food is provided for by the cook house, okay I won't say it's amazing, I mean tak it's not that bad


ya it's acceptable lah ya and it's like, basically food outside is nicer but I mean I can't complain what, right so ya and then you the more time you spend inside, you don't spend so much money outside and then because of that you can save more, and because you can save more you can do more money with your money outside


right then, I guess by extending our contract you already give yourself a headstart of going into like, a tertiary education ah or in my case I guess uni lah so, by doing that really, provides me with an excess of cash that


allows me to, okay so where were we ah, I think was about being like financially independent and


being able to spend your money the way you want to but at least, like uh tak jadi beban to your parents ah, ya I think that's what more things are, are things people my age are noticing becoming more, err responsible in that particular aspect of their live lah


which I think is definitely a good step ahead, if you think about it lah because everyone is , how to say it's not about, not wanting to accept help from your parents but it's about wanting to really, being able to err, take your ah carry your own weight ya and really err feel the sense of


what you call that of that reality you know that your parents have might should have led you from lah over these past few years lah, ya definitely lah,


can we talk about food now Amshar please, okay, ya I don't know how we ended up talking about NS and all


okay tapi now I feel like ya let's just talk about makanan ah really that's like my favourite thing to talk about, ya eh so Amshar ah what's your favourite food


!huh!, ya, I think what's your favourite food, ya, the what


oh oh scone scone, ya, of course halal most important bro, ya


, I think for me it's not about, having a favourite food but because eat I don't know I feel like eating for me is always a reason for me to socialize, no I mean it's like sometimes it's like eh you want to go eat it's a it's a it's a it's not I'm not necessarily lapar or anything


err jumpa kawan jumpa family, no ah like it's something that helps me, err eratkan silaturahim lah with people people that, people around me that I know, and I talk to so, eating is more of a social thing to me rather than


being , ya for the taste of it lah and, that's why when I eat I don't necessarily, have any err preference of what I want to eat I just only generally ask what people like to eat then I just go eat there, like you say asalkan halal I'm steady lah


ya so, for me if you ask me what's my favourite food I like comfort food lah, comfort food, a'ah eh kampung food !aiya! nevermind lah bro, #hajjah maimunah# bro #hajjah maimunah# expensive bro


okay, is booming is booming, no that's not even


so you you buy sotong that time, standard ah you'll pack away take away lauk right, then I remember bought , call that err sotong right the


eight dollars for one head, !wah! that was like ridiculous man, so, okay the business is booming, definitely because there are people that love that kind of food, and obviously I like it lah ya but you cannot eat it too much and too often


ya, bro it doesn't help that the food is like delicious, ya, a'ah, okay lah okay so we're talking wait ah so I was as I was saying right so let's just say


but if you ask me about my favorite food right I know I feel like, a strong inclination towards #ban mian#, #ban mian#, soup is like really something that !wah! I feel like ah #tom yum# also but #tom yum# is definitely maggi for me bro, ya like if I eat #tom yum# right the maggi one it just hits different lah I think


in my opinion ya sebab kalau lapar [kan] a quick fix, would definitely be instant noodles, ya then sebab it's convenient, then it's also quite easy to make lah then like that I also don't have to what, err wake up the whole family to cook right, so I just cook on my own and then just and then it's a sharing thing also


so you don't always don't just cook maggi one person, let's cook maggi for more, cause your ya, like then, it goes back to a social thing, ya I mean it's like food is not just about, err for sustenance per se but it's all about


looking out for others also, no then I guess that's what can really bring people together also lah, ya, okay lah


just feel that just taste of food in your mouth ah, oh swimming lessons ya ya ya I remember that time, oh ya we'll stand outside the the convenience shop and then we just


then the telur selalu macam tak masak apa the aunty will say eh setengah masak but it's like, !wah! I think now is like really the best lah, !wah! is that !wah! then the keep brings back memories so like


like what you said lah I think it's a it's a , is in, ya, back then we ate a lot less ya, oh bulking season bro,


ya, ya


oh ya, I think eh two I remember when, ya when when I was studying for A levels right I don't my I don't know cause when I was in J one, my weight was sixty five kilo


then after that it naik sampai berapa eh, ya it's like I went up by about fifteen KG or so in like a year, because I was just stressed out from studying A levels lah and food was something that gave me comfort lah


ya cause okay cause you think about it right you can't, there is no way right kau boleh belajar and study at the same time, so right, ya is ya oh sorry makan dan belajar at the same time sorry, so cause the moment I'm eating means I'm not studying


correct so I'll I'll just eat like I'll eat a lot so like, feeling lah ah ya lah so, that that that the break time right was really very precious lah, so obviously you try to extend it as much as possible because of that I ate so much, then I just well just studying eating studying eating studying eating then what it said it was eating


not say purely for sustenance ah but so you don't feel so bored, cause the moment you're studying err the moment you're eating you are taking a break from all your books all that, then you get you that is quite boring lah, ya so I feel like, that time was a


it was a good time that I just ate the same type of food everyday, that's ridiculously unhealthy, ya but I didn't mind it


(mmhmm), then after that go back to study again, ya it's it's like the same cycle everyday


, , ya but I I I think I


for me personally I cannot forget the school canteen food yet, the what I remember cause cause coming from our school was like, what you call that there's very remember there's only what two halal stalls is it, there was only two halal stalls so the options for the muslim students were not really that much also lah


so jadi we had to make do with what we had then, or the india punya makanan ah, ya so it's like, what we had was what err nasi padang right


ah they had they had the only they for the Roti Prata which is like not even allowed, oh so fucker level and the food was so good, ya


eh ada ada okay okay err jangan bilang orang then we, ya then we'll buy that was a definitely a secret menu item, then when people started looking eh bro what's this ah what's this then after that


suddenly it's like everyone knew what nasi goreng was, then we all start everyone started ordering and then there was this err, honestly it was I think it was a different type of nasi goreng I I don't haven't tried it outside yet, there's no nasi goreng that I've tried that does like that it's super spicy


it was like !wah! really if I go eat there again that would definitely bring back memories ah, ya, and, that's that's that's that's the thing lah because, food was, what like bond us together cause the only time we met each other right definitely was at the canteen


ya and there's only reason one reason you're at the canteen it's either you're skipping lectures or you're eating something, and most of more often than not we'll be eating something, bulan puasa bro


ya I mean if you're awake lah, that's a , prerequisite, uh,


eh but speaking of food right do you cook


ya lah, ah yes


it's such a millennial thing to do to use an air fryer, you know it's really not that much healthier in my opinion it's like uh you're still cooking it in fat, but it's just it's own fat, ya okay so I guess if you ask me I mean


I try to masak lah sometimes cause when I'm at home, especially when I got oh actually I won't say it's masak but I try to bake when I have the time to, I made err err suji for everyone, ya !wah! that was a absolute err logistic nightmare


because tak boleh agak how much err ramuan you need right, and all the sukatan-sukatan all that was very obscure to me, and some are online recipe ya first time buat then they say eh, this one can make forty then come out !wah! twenty five pieces only then I was like what you want me to do


obviously I it's my first time again, ya ya that's true that's that's very tiny tiny suji right, ya then , obviously that's terrible right so I had to make like two to three batches if I'm not wrong, then sudah sudah sudah habis buat then dia punya what you call that


when I made the err the whole aduan right it was a bit, wet, then I have to oh err ask my mum eh what to do what to do then my mum also not really a baker, fair so like okay so we figured out okay !alamak! just add more flour lah that kind of thing so it's like it makes it more , err usable lah ya then experiment that's when


you really figure out like eh actually it's a lot more feeling than to actually, err know the exact quantities of what you need to use cause you given the humidity and all that it all the that kind of thing plays a part, temperature of your surroundings, ya you don't think about that and your recipe doesn't tell you about that also


ya, I mean ya lah ya lah, but as a new cook all these all these kind of things are definitely out of your control what, so when I tried to make kuih for the first time that's what happened ah then the suji came out, some came out nice some came out cracked then you like eh why, so I end up eating the cracked ones the nice ones I give away lah


ya so I don't know that's just quite fun lah I remember I'll go to everyone's house, then err slowly drop off one by one, and you know uh, ya I dodged his mum so I I stay in the


!wah! memang but that day sempat lah, that trip was just for you bro, cause I left quite late I remember oh then I stopped by #ang mo kio# I wanted to meet tok mat to pass him the suji then he gave me another whole


what you call that a whole container of kuih tart in return so, that's quite nice also lah ya, I mean because that time I remember it was, what was it ah it was oh hari raya oh I was I had leave, cause it was the COVID thing


no no uh, ya is no bro is the eve of raya bro, ya, and you had your interview, ya lah, ya you got your interview that's why I asked you to meet me at the MRT then you're like, eh tak boleh ah I got interview then I was like oh okay lah then I go to your house ah


err err ya , is not bad not bad, ha !wah! the things I do !huh! for my friends, uh, no lah


, ya, (mmhmm), actually this kind of thing also honestly I a bit kekok but but why did the the baking thing was that


I generally just wanted to try baking it and see what you all thought of it lah, because obviously I cook what twenty five pieces of, ya for everything on my own obviously I eat one or two sudah a bit muak sikit [kan]


so I might as well just give it away lah then the other thing you were saying about, you naturally you're helping people out on the street all that, that one is still that's still err like a blur for me because, need help especially older people naik naik bus that kind of thing then angkat the bag all like go inside right


the thing is how to say this ah that time I help someone then he said that, actually she doesn't need my help, cause she has done this many times it's just that she's a bit slower, so at the end of the day right I also feel


then err obviously she understands that aku pun nak she understands that aku pun nak tolong dia [kan], but then err she knows the she can do it on her own so she doesn't, want to seem like she needs help lah, and obviously I want to respect her decision but at the same, same time ah you can't help but


notice that eh you're kind of holding up the queue lah so, I should probably make you go a bit faster lah, but then I feel like I don't want feel like I'm undermining her effort, you know of trying to being independent, how ah


ya, yes eh definitely, (mmhmm), ya, ya because ya I understand, ya


ya, because there she cannot reach understand understand ya, ya, I, , understand understand


ya, but at the end of the day they they know that they they need your help lah, ya there are certain things that they definitely cannot do and it's rather to, and they rather choose to avoid it lah but at the same time that's when you guys come in lah when you guys help out, I think like from personal experience


you know that , you have to be sensitive lah be more aware of this kind of things so this kind of issues you, you cannot say them out loud, definitely because it can hurt people's feelings, but it's something that you have to consider when you're about to help someone lah especially elderly person


ya oh my god how did it run out of topic, again by so far, okay then let's just, bring it back the thing it was about you talk about, eat eh helping your friends oh talk about friends right then you, ah then you talk about helping others on the street


ya, okay, oh my goodness wait where were we, ya let's just go back to food I feel like that's a good consensus okay, you know right I think in my opinion, a lot of people have this misconception that


I think, ya, ya, okay definitely ya


(mmhmm), (hmm), okay, no I'm not I'm not talking about that I'm talking about more is like err more to being uh okay being like, the, ya in general in general ya because because the


the amount of food that we can eat right is definitely there's definitely a restriction, so in a certain sense you'll feel like eh you're, how how do I say this like when you go out with your group of friends, then you just see you're the only muslim guy there the only practising muslim guy there who needs to eat halal food, to a certain extent you feel like you're doing slight inconvenience


that they have to go eat at a halal restaurant I think this is a , it's a it's a it's a known thing lah !huh!, cause like let's just say eh err, let's go eat ah #din tai fung# you know obviously that's a no go for me, but then err aku pun tak nak susahkan dia orang right


make us feel bad so they will just err go to somewhere we can eat lah, and end up we go to the same place every single time, eighteen chefs bro eighteen chefs is the go to bro, ya then, at the end of the day it's like


these food options they are still there but, just that it's it's err slightly limited lah, according to what we eat and and I don't know I have to admit from what I've noticed that, let's just say you're eating halal food obviously different cultures have, , halal versions of their food also and a lot of people are doing that


but these tends to be more expensive, than usual, like okay then in my opinion let's just say you go uh there's a lot of cheap Ramen stalls, ya lah let's just say Ramen stalls but they're not halal, cheaper Ramen stalls but then for the halal versions of these kind of stalls right I think a lot of prices are quite expensive and


ya because they're halal and there's definitely a demand for it, so I feel that to a certain extent this is not fair, and then when we go as a group also then !wah! the obviously the receipt be quite expensive lah, then it's not fair to them because there's like offers on like, other shops and all that, so it's it's more about the variety I think that's the issue here


ya but then again I don't want to restrict my friends from not eating pork you know what I mean, ya like okay I'm I'm definitely fine with you eating pork but it's like, , ya it doesn't affect me it's just it's just a personal stand when I see it's like


eh actually I feel bad macam I I don't I, I don't want to make them feel Paiseh also, ya what you want to eat, so I guess what, they I mean they say don't mind lah but sometimes like what I've have done is that, I just go and sit somewhere there also lah but I don't eat also


ya just sit in and then you just, talk lah because at the end of the day like eh actually it goes back to the same point where, for me eating right is more of a socializing, thing rather than actually having to eat because I can eat anytime bro at home there's always food, ya there's always that ice cream container inside with


ya with no ice cream and not what you call that uh but I've no no what's that err , that's it's like ya and it's never, what the neopolitan one ah


ya eh that's definitely a piece of your childhood right there, ya okay, then I think if you like going back to that point right it's like, I don't know ah there's no solution for this it's just something I felt like talking about, but tapi kalau you


take to the edit ah there certain definitely there certain places with, a higher concentration of halal food as compared to other places lah, ah like okay I meant Bugis #paya lebar# or Bugis bro, so many halal food there and but it's definitely more like cafes and all that, so it's definitely on the more expensive end


ya but then err the my other halal option is uh mamak lah, that kind of stuff ya that's the easy option, and they don't mind but I tell you I can't eat Prata every single day bro, Prata is not I can't live on Prata bro ya


uh , ya, (ppc), ya definitely, especially here especially here


yes no actually that's why I think it's a good thing that, the government is like trying to push for using more healthier ingredients and you can see this a lot in, ah infomercials that's why there's kalau kau tengok jamaah [kan] one Suria and all that, they've err they're slightly no update okay it's very obvious


obvious and uh they're slightly cringey, err what you call that national err health promotion board ah, what you call they try to insight, healthier choice references into like certain malay Jamaahs right


err coconut milk and all that right, so when you see this kind of thing it's like okay obviously they are pushing for it so that people, will like oh actually there's healthier versions of this kind of food that we can eat then you can actually eat more of it lah and, to a certain extent the taste will change a bit but for the most part it'll be the same lah


like cause it's still the same dish mah, ya and, like what I said it is definitely not obesity diabetes is definitely a big problem, like ya !huh! so


(hmm), I think but to be honest is, I wouldn't think it's from our generation it's all the older generation mostly because, the the diet has and will always be consist of err will always comprise of, that lah of that kind of traditional food


definitely definitely you can change bro but uh you have to understand the, mindset and the, practice of someone who's err older right it's definitely something very difficult to, err change or enforce it's it's definitely it's definitely it's like, it has to come in like very slow stages lah


ya, ah yes yes yes, ah bro then when the Teh O is like what three scoops of three bold scoops of sugar


eh ya understand, but they don't , ya and and I can understand where they're are going from we've been doing this our whole life why should we change, ya they're still okay and it tastes ya ya definitely I agree ya, ha ha I think I see this most often about my nenek lah


ya ah that's why they cook the nicest food, but you definitely cannot go there and eat there every single week, they're having that's that's just too much, no we my my family makes it a point that we just bring our own food there so they don't cook, so we bring when we bring our food we tell them in advance and then we bring like healthier food lah


so the, ya they they I mean in general my nenek cooks everyday, but we only go there every week lah, that's when we are all are free mah cause if we go there that's when the whole family is together, so we can go there every weekend lah or so, ya so


ya, also, to a certain extent because okay imagine like, err this kind because like I mean uh for, for for starters my nenek is quite open to all this also, so she definitely want to try new food also


then like because certain things that she cannot cook, especially like it's quite cool lah that's because she likes, to she doesn't mind eating sushi you know japanese food she doesn't mind anything, which is quite sick and this this this tends to, how do I say this I think it tends to be healthier, I mean especially like sashimi like that kind of stuff


ya I think sashimi is definitely healthier bro, it's just fish right so ya so we bring it over, (mmhmm), ya lah, I mean, I think by a long shot but ya


and sashimi is not with rice so on it's own already, ya ya lah, so like going back to that is


like when we bring we come over we'll bring food right so she doesn't, it's not that she doesn't have to cook because she insists that she definitely makes family lah because, [kan] ada tetamu datang obviously you have to prepare something right for them, so the guests feel I mean it's something that they hold to lah quite close lah


she prepare less lah, ya so that's that's a good thing that's a good start, I mean ya but I think ya okay, straying off topic again one of the unhealthy things that I will always look for to err weekends is definitely bubble tea ah, I don't know I'm a bubble tea kind of guy man it's like


what's your stand what's your stand, ya, it's a social thing social thing again, so you're peer pressured into buying it


chocolate eh, ah, oh so oh you're more of that old school bubble tea lah so you're talking about the oreo crush that kind of ice blended drinks is it


so I mean this brings back memories bro okay actually that's the thing because last time right, you know we used to beli ah sweet talk semua kat bawah block [kan], and then got err sweet, I don't know man it just closed bro so, I remember it was what oreo crush will be like two dollars


in fact it was I think something it was less than two dollars then you you upsize it, !huh!, ya you upsize it to two fifty or three dollars, then now you !wah! you take a look at all the, standard bubble tea shops one cup is like three dollars lah at least


or like or student card, okay which is not legal by the way, so it's like it's still then that's when it becomes like two dollars or even one fifty something like that, ya, I mean I I think I think about it that, these kind of things is


it's something that you enjoy on the weekends lah something like you don't really have all the time so, I think it's okay cause in camp you're definitely just drinking water, some other thing, dude I think I'll be I'll go crazy, definitely ah my money you will just disappear on poverty


okay I understand extend the contract lah you mean, ya bro I haven't considered signing on bro


ya, especially you'll be in a situation where you'll be more aware of your finances, ya


okay ya lah ya lah definitely lah I mean there's still a lot of ways to fill up your time, I forgot more beneficial if before starts, NS is easy it's an easier role ya you know what's going on, I think like


if you, like if you about about the food thing right let's just say, even though, you spend money like buying food outside and all that at the end of the day it would be better if you end up cooking, learning how to cook on your own because it's definitely a useful skill ya it's a skill that you should have in for your life because


at some point in your life you'll definitely be living alone, okay kalau sudah ada kahwin okay sudah kahwin pun boleh lah, ya masak tak akan hari-hari nak masak maggi, right obviously you also know that, that's not very sustainable so


if you want to eat something else lah, but this kind of thing is, definitely up to you, and up to your own preference ah, but, how you how you how you feel about that


ya I agree with you


okay do you remember our JC days like towards the a levels season right


you think you know what you're doing so you do it, but you sit down for the a level a level paper you just go like, I've never seen this question in my entire life


meeting friends <tamil> </tamil> have with our friends <tamil>எங்க:engge</tamil> lecture theatre leh, canteen canteen studying time !wah!


yes, ya Guna Guna Guna


and none of my friends take chemistry, then how


okay sign to Zao


econs B history A so is not bad but physics that one is the one thing ah


JC really just messed up, imagine your whole secondary school right you can actually do this subject your best subject you know, ah you go there teachers pet the physics class all teacher love you, everytime come ernest explain this concept to the class, then after that !wah!


go to JC then everything also start failing, it's like, the teacher tries to teach, they try their best to teach, but the way they teach ah, I want to kill myself already you know


but okay lah not bad lah but honestly makes no sense when you apply uni right, and you apply engineering course, science course, make sense lah they look at your physics physics fail then they are like


okay cannot take him makes sense, I apply <tamil>பன்னது எல்லாமே:pannathu ellaame</tamil> arts course, psychology err what's the other one called ah, philosophy psychology philosophy sociology and all those


true there's no logic at all I if you take everything and, and my GPA right, confirm like cannot replicate one


eh I told you what my essay what I wrote, I wrote about black panther, I literally wrote about black panther I'm not kidding you


so okay, it's about this you know that question about the interconnectedness or interconnectivity thing, country or something, no no no it's about, countries being, what is the word ah forgot already


globalisation, is is about globalization okay, so what I wrote is you know black panther right


do you know the movie, is like the what wakanda will be like, cannot wakanda will be always cannot open up to other countries cannot let other countries know about us, you know we are self sufficient, but wakanda was actually successful, so then at the end of movie right he will say


wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows, see I wrote that for my ending the conclusion I started of with, wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows


in JC one promos I wrote my whole essay about star wars, about the impact that star wars had in our generation


star wars was about a about a lonely farmer boy, who went out to get training realised that he has powers, he was there to try to help the society he was in however he failed and went to the dark side


it's a nice story ah


so I applied to NUS, rejected NTU give me teaching course but, no I have no patience to teach I tried


ya, ya what's that she took literature for next year , she's taking totally different subject she took chem bio, literature history is the only subject I can teach


and SS lah but SS honestly, was a fluke SS was a, pure fluke lah <tamil>கொஞம் கூட படிக்கல:konjam kooda padikkale</tamil> SS, I don't know how I got a one, easy subject


you see my history tank bro that one basically already pull up my SS, it was near carpark like quite depressing right


no driving license yet


I applied one year ago I feel your pain but two times, two times one year


but then I look at the next day,


!huh! saturdays you cannot go, what


you taking class three or three a, manual , why I already told you right, three a actually, like now after I take class three right I realised ah, three a more worth it faster


more slots easy to get, more slots because more people taking three a now, class three is only for those who, or those who want to take class four


those who planning to take class four in the future lah, no a lot of them they start manual, but within like halfway through they switch to class three a, I think #bukit batok# allows


have to rebook lah, cancel and rebook, one of my friend is he took three all the way, the only the test ah he took three a, no before one lesson or two lesson you must take a three a lah after then take class three test


but he took private so up to him, I told my father I won't take three a eh I won't take class three, so my father prepared lah class three, so like I want to take three a then he's like no no no I already invested enough


carry on, the motorcycle licence also gone lah


feeling quite Shiok when you downshift ah, but do anything about it you know my and then the wisdom tested like you know wanna waste one another, at least you sergeant, don't talk


ya it's the lowest life form at least recruit right got, safety, recognition all the respect


but I'm not the lowest life form I'm the second lowest eh third lowest corporal, oh ya still got, no no got different ones got, OCT


followed by SCT, specialist then, ya then recruit private LCP ya, but I want to get I want to get CFC sia


my friend bro he want to get CFC #die die# cause he told me right very rare people get corporal first class, is either corporal or you sergeant, so first class damn hard to get, first first, oh CFC usually, it's easier to get if you are at the combat unit


because CFC is the two IC for the section, if the if the sergeant man down right CFC take over


self sufficient lah


oh ya same, my father's birthday this month my mother's birthday, next month


my one back to back you know the twenty eight driving test, book <tamil>பண்ணா:pannaa</tamil> driving test, twenty nine my dad's birthday, december thirteen my sister birthday fourteen my mum birthday fifteen my second anniversary <tamil>எல்லாமே:ellame</tamil> back to back

bike


first get class two B after that class two A then get a very nice, see I would get a royal enfield, but it's expensive, no


but err very hard to get in singapore I think is a value import, so it's it's quite expensive, it's either that or at least, you know a nice ducati monster


is cheaper than a car fuel wise also, or even if I take a class two B, just buy yamaha also cheaper way cheaper than a car, the problem is you know what motorcycle lessons right


either you hit someone and you die, or someone hit you and you die because singapore like that one bro you see the way they drive right like #heck care# bro they don't care about the motorcycle at all

it's really just sad that he's gone, ya so this, guy leader of the black panthers, and, this head hippie hipster kind of guy okay


and so basically a few other people and all seven in total, when they went right there was a huge, kind of like a riot that went on, and it's very different groups of people fighting against the police, so it happens that, the government of the


government, the administration of chicago, basically filed a civil lawsuit against these guys, the criminal lawsuit against guys for inciting violence, in the form of a school protest, like so having they said they filed a petition and ask for peaceful protest


but instead of getting instead of having a peaceful protest they ended up conducting a riot, when these guys actually didn't start the riots police officers that started the riot and all they do was try to save themselves, so the whole trial is about how these guys trying to save themselves lah
