you you didn't, but was it stressful <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> like <mandarin>过程:guo cheng</mandarin> or


, oh so it would really like spend <mandarin>那个二十四个小时:na ge er shi si ge xiao shi</mandarin> doing the thing meh or you submit earlier


, , oh, uh but the paper itself


no as in the how much do you require, to actually complete, oh three hours but <mandarin>他会给你:ta hui gei ni</mandarin> twenty four hours that is quite <mandarin>离谱:li pu</mandarin> ah


okay, , so you got how many paper, oh


oh, this, that's, weird ,


, , so does it matter <mandarin>你的成绩考到:ni de cheng ji kao dao</mandarin> like <mandarin>多少:duo shao</mandarin> like the will it matter when you are looking for job


oh,


, okay, but, wait does your school calculate <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> GPA or is, different system


but <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> point system is, like how how do they <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> count the


err class honours, (mmhmm)


so based on <mandarin>你现在的:ni xian zai de</mandarin> result do you have any idea, what, plus you are


still need two more Bs for second upper, oh, then do you have any A


so it's, that possible got but you took four exams right, !aiyo! so difficult


I already counted you know my GPA like, err ya I told my mum already I was like, even if I get all As right for


get, because, ya the the best that I can do is maintained <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> second class, oh well it's not so bad lah, but, ya I I think


like those those scholars, they always, like when I compared to them lah then they they are very very on about the needing the first class,


oh well , ,


true, I think, because I told you like my next semester is going to be, like this current semester I only need to take my FYP


and then <mandarin>多两个:duo liang ge</mandarin> modules, and then next semester I think <mandarin>只是:zhi shi</mandarin> FYP <mandarin>而已:er yi</mandarin> so like, I will probably look for jobs earlier also like before I graduate, so it's like, , got more chance


I don't think so eh I I I I'm not, like fully equipped with, the knowledge of how heavy FYP is going to be yet maybe it's like a lot more than


I expected, because, right now right, it doesn't make sense to me cause like more <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> FYP is, to do a documentary, like <mandarin>要拍:yao pai</mandarin> documentary and like, I think <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> around like err, twenty fifteen to twenty minutes


a bit more complicated because, err <mandarin>需要做很多:xu yao zuo hen duo</mandarin> research


no is one time only that's why it doesn't make sense to me because , previously I have had production modules and then like I have had to produce err


like videos or like films also, and, usually lah, we, only need <mandarin>大概:da gai</mandarin> like, one months, one one two month to like, ya one turn the whole thing lor


so, for FYP supposedly <mandarin>我们需要:wo men xu yao</mandarin> take one whole year, ya it's like, it doesn't really make sense to me right now lah but maybe I am not, like I I don't know enough about it


ya because err, I know a lot of people <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> FYP like they need to submit to contest, and like get sponsors and err


ya like I saw, from our secondary school one, , , ya ya


no I don't know about the clique, but she is like the she was our batch, the head prefect, or like the ex ex committee the like <mandarin>最大的:zui da de</mandarin>


she's like, basically she's, she went JC, err <mandarin>所以:suo yi</mandarin> she's like one


one batch, above me, ya so she already take her FYP, and uh I saw that, they actually won a contest, ya it was, err


okay, you know scape like the orchard that that building right they actually uh like a youth organisation I think so like they host contests, for recognising like young creatives


ya so <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> group like they won err best documentary which is there like <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> FYP project, I don't know but then I went to I like, uh I I went to like research what they did


and, okay leh like <mandarin>不怎么样:bu zen me yang</mandarin> like I I not, I am not very interested in the topic that they did it was about, err, like


some, guy that lives in singapore, but <mandarin>他的家族:ta de jia zu</mandarin> is, from nepal, I don't know where is nepal I think it's like near to india or something like that


but, like, they originate from nepal, and then apparently like the the nepalese, like the military is very strong or something lah and like they have close ties with, our military or something like that so I think that's what they're documentary about they just like follow the guy around and then hor the thing is that this is the part that it's like !whoa!


like uh, with our professors ah, and I think, I saw her say like after one consult, they actually decided


last minute ah, to go and purchase tickets, to, air ticket, to <mandarin>飞去:fei qu</mandarin> nepal you know, , ya is like a bit extreme lah because, how much money is that going to cost


their group, then


then, err and I I don't know if anybody would sponsor such a, uh uh a documentary that is like so, like <mandarin>冷门:leng men</mandarin> like not many people are interested to know about this group of people right so I don't know who will give sponsorship to this kind of thing so


crazy right, ya so they actually bought their own plane tickets and like they it paid for their entire trip to, just basically film the guy visiting his family


, ya, but seeing that I feel like, that might be, just like <mandarin>少数的人:shao shu de ren</mandarin> lah like it's like a extreme, and of people that will really like go out of their way that to to


depends on much of their own money invest so much of that time to like fly overseas,


ya, invest, perhaps, but, now right I also cannot travel, so like I don't know why or like how my documentary would take so much time


ya doesn't make sense what then why would that take one hour for me to complete


, so, no lah can, like , you you still can meet


within small group what, like there's no restrictions


, ya but I don't think my subject will be, something like that lah I don't think


ya I mean I think it's very like memorable, if you were to, you and your friends just like, flyover, for like a school excitement


ya but you must be like a bit must be able to like work with your friends well lah like you must really be, close, then then it'll be fun if not, it might just be, stressful


, ya true, but I don't know what I'm going to do but my documentary, err ya I think me and


one other girl, we have been friends since year, ya and then we work on quite a number of project together lah so, same wavelength I think, because


we both, very passionate about the same things, and like we have the same kind of, mindset towards our study


my other group mates, okay <mandarin>我有一个:wo you yi ge</mandarin> I don't really know her very well, like, I, I have four people my group, so err two of them I have worked with before another guy


err, ya I work with him, before on like this kind of project, and usually, uh where I work with him if like <mandarin>我做主:wo zuo zhu</mandarin>


, , ya but like with the other girl right because like the first two projects I work with that guy


but then the third project I worked with that girl that I know very well so now, but when she is there like <mandarin>他会做主:ta hui zuo zhu</mandarin> because, she is more like, has more leadership qualities than me lah I would feel so usually if if there is her around I will give her the leadership position like I will not


like one to eat


she's from RGS you know, is it RGS, not RGS, uh raffles institution


ya but like the JC one, ya so like err, uh, but err like, I told my mum can cause like sometimes I like to go home at like #hao lian# bad like cause she like to like sometimes my brother will like look down on me lah


crazy right , ya sometimes


!huh!, you know or like my mum will say cause, err normal ya so should be like


RI <mandarin>的人一起读书:de ren yi qi du shu</mandarin> leh mother , so I will #hao lian# to her, ya then she will ask me about my friends then, like


uh, ya <mandarin>跟他们读书:gen ta men du shu</mandarin> like is is is it different or like, err how how are they and then, err what I've noticed lah like from my that friend lah I don't know a lot of people from school, but I told her that like


good lor,


ya, err, but like, I don't know I don't I don't think there's, so much of a difference, working with people that did well when they were younger, like, I don't know I thought they would be a lot more stuck up


cause like I always had the impression that err, people from those like <mandarin>名牌:ming pai</mandarin> schools I thought they will be like uh like <mandarin>有钱:you qian</mandarin> then like err


ya they would they would, not enjoy the same things or like like those same things, like go to Kopitiam and eat like I thought they would be like, you wouldn't want to do that kind of thing lah but like I think not much difference lah


yes, err, nobody you got back to me I very sad I think I'm going to cause usually I apply so over like those apps


like I use fast jobs, but it's not very good leh, cause I think when you apply through those apps right, there is a delay, between when you send your, application as opposed to


when the recruiter, actually gets, the application, ya


ya, there was one a freelance job that I like <mandarin>真的很想要:zhen de hen xiang yao</mandarin> because right during my intern right, my, specialty , like people know me as the


the girl who, can, makes, err make the presentation slides look very nice, I I became like the company's slides girl, ya so like, err I also enjoy doing it lah


it was, fun, to designs like, and, ya lah I like this kind of work that doesn't really requires me to, oh it's very easy one I just use template


well, slides go dot com, ya ya ya you should try you should try it's very easy to used but every time I, tell other people, I just use templates go crazy you know this is slides go dot com just use their template


I will send them the template, and then it will still come out very ugly, because I think, even though


like <mandarin>没有那种:mei you na zhong</mandarin> design background, even if you got template to work with right


ya because, err usually <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> template right they will have like a lot of component like a lot of elements everywhere, then, to someone who <mandarin>不会:bu hui</mandarin> design right, Piak everything onto the same slide and then it'll be like super messy


[orh], or like err if you don't have to use slides right, then sometimes like the font you have to make sure that the font is like, consistent but then they don't know how to use right so you just add text and then it'll be like there are generic area font


so it's like, ya will turn out like ,


ya, true, so you like I I, like I built that reputation right until, my company the founder Wor, also engaged me to help do his slides, ya and then like err after I


finished my intern, err, my recommendation letter because okay <mandarin>我的专业是:wo de zhuan ye shi</mandarin> do slides and write I wrote like everything that was like important announcement that you need to send out to the entire company one


so you like those two are my <mandarin>专业:zhuan ye</mandarin> lah so, because I also write, very well and like he know, you ask me to write my own recommendation letter


mummy ah err my boss want me to write my own recommendation letter then she was like


ya, , ya damn nonsense


ya so like I wrote my own letter then err I had to send to him to sign lah but like he took up some parts he took up one very important part


ya so like basically is like the the department is like, intern carry, if you like me and my other intern friend we both carry the department, and I wrote that like in one of the top paragraphs lah because I thought was important for people to understand the situation that we were in which is why we we were able to


take on so many things lah,


and then ya actually


safe kind like very boring, because I have to write !wah! very stupid you know, the whole time I was there right because, my job mostly right, people know me for designing and writing so right, when COVID came


err the founders right they decided that they wanted to step up their game and like, be a lot more communicative to, but


COVID communications, so like it's very stupid one like err, hello employees, I hope you all are doing well I hope you guys are getting enough sleep enough rest I know it's a difficult time for everybody but err pleased to take care and then please approach us for any assistance everyday he will send an email like that


every single day and that's right, the, how many times can I say the same thing over and over again without sounding like


ya exactly it <mandarin>我知道:wo zhi dao</mandarin> until this point <mandarin>我明白:wo ming bai</mandarin> but the thing is that right <mandarin>他要:ta yao</mandarin> say the same thing every single day, so <mandarin>要怎么样:yao zen me yang</mandarin> leh I don't understand you know because like everyday he will ask us to write once more big one few paragraphs


about this lah just like you know hi checking with you guys how you hope you are doing fine and then after that below rewrite the COVID numbers for the day, then, ya he want us to write that paragraph everyday but then hor after a few weeks he's like


how come, is a not so interesting anymore everyday we seem to be saying the same thing then I'm like, because we are saying the same thing sir, what else do you want to say he got nothing else to say he wants asked to pull out from back side something to say


ya so, ya we've got tried to <mandarin>给新鲜感被:gei xin xian gan bei</mandarin> but because he is the very safe very boring kind so right even when we tried to


add a little bit more right, we try to pull quotes you know like success is built on the shoulders of, many man whatever lah it's kind of like inspirational quotes right then we were write the like the author of the code then he will say


, I, better not to use quotes then but you never give explanation why why is it better not to use, you just say better not to use quote, then how, exactly I don't know not okay so eventually I figure out what he likes lah


err he likes those very very safe err business, articles, , you won't take you


yes risk averse very risk averse and then even if I try to like you know be a little bit cheeky like be a bit funny like err hope you guys are eating well but uh hopefully you guys are not uh ordering too much food panda, or put on so much weight or something like that ya I write something like that something like funny or cheeky right he will be like err ya this sounds a bit


like not so good coming from me like I I you ask other people to say this kind of thing okay but like as a founder like, sounds


no ya no I think it's just the, that part lah about like the like you know don't don't don't order so much food is not like everything waived, and you don't want to come across he cannot afford, anything that might be like <mandarin>一点点:yi dian dian</mandarin> negative


cannot like he needs to play on the safe side so in the end all all the things that were included issues like boring things like uh, Harvard business review, ya I use that a lot, Harvard


no no no it's like a, Harvard business review is a website for professional


so they like right those articles like how to increase productivity at home or like uh leadership or how to become a better servant leader something like that lah !wow! ya so like we were just copy and paste, ya so we would just copy and paste, links from those articles and then like he will ask us to summarise


whatever was written in the article and then


ya but I think you must see from his perspective also lor <mandarin>因为他是:yin wei ta shi</mandarin> like, he want to maintain like his, <mandarin>要听我的话:yao ting wo de hua</mandarin> but you know


cannot be too, like casual with your employees I think because after all you are the <mandarin>大老板:da lao ban</mandarin> mah so, I think ya he just didn't want to spoil image lor, so later people talk lah


ya cannot and then right okay so I wrote that every single day until I got so tired of it like I I I really don't like the do that because


but I got like very bored of doing it, but but then hor uh and then I thought nobody would read


because it's, almost the same thing everyday just the numbers change right, err, ya but then I heard from other people right from different departments there like oh ya I'm quite impressed that err this guy our boss, err actually you know bothers to send emails everyday updating us like end ya ya actually err I think he's quite responsible very communicative then I stand there


, ya I told them know if if it's like a superior then I will tell them lah but if it's intern ah tell me this kind of things, hello, you think that he writes those himself you think that he's a very caring boss


hi I got some news for you , exactly, ya like, giving us ideas you know he just like, he just likes to criticise like


ya it's boring then you never never tell me what to what to improve its just, it's boring find find something else ,


ya I know lah <mandarin>没有时间:mei you shi jian</mandarin> okay I understand <mandarin>那一点:na yi dian</mandarin> but then to take credit right and I I don't I don't get any credit for doing all this because


nobody knows what like in the company nobody knows that I I am the one that writes his thing, it's just like


they also got no time I guess and their english not very good lah, like they usually will ask me to, check, uh their work, for the grammar sentence whatever lah those like major announcements like for example going back to office


like they will ask me to check like every single document whether, no no to me it's like so that those those are so routine work that I don't consider them as


achievements, why, because that's so boring , ya I I did a lot more than just that lah it's just that that is one of my, like one of my job scope also, Sian


ya,


then <mandarin>你在家里:ni zai jia li</mandarin> do what


and you got more time


so you study here in this room


!aiyo! <mandarin>救命:jiu ming</mandarin> , ya I understand, but if you I think, as opposed to studying lah I think it's like a lot easier to concentrate because like you have deadlines mah


as opposed to like if you, studying then the deadline only feels very close when there's like a week later like, few weeks later


understand, but, your friends eventually they got start studying right for the real date


they say they did actually


so <mandarin>你看什么戏:ni kan shen me xi</mandarin> on Netflix, the king, class


eh wait what you what you talk about, !huh! what is that about


!wah! you, very very pessimistic, then you watch for what,


, I I <mandarin>我不喜欢看这种:wo bu xi huan kan zhe zhong</mandarin> drama because, I don't know , ya, I I, cannot relate , oh


okay


so, no but, the, no but


yes I <mandarin>我有听说:wo you ting shuo</mandarin> but like err I have too many shows to complete, now I am watching grey's anatomy


you never heard of it before level okay uh it's like uh it's uh american, medical drama, no no no I don't want to be doctor


no lah don't have, err I don't want to be a doctor but, like, I am fine <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> medical drama very, very, not not motivating it's just, ah when you watch you will understand because


err, when <mandarin>我看的时候:wo kan de shi hou</mandarin> right I will think a lot about, like my life, and like, because this kind of situation like they are surgeons mah, every single day they will see death


ya so like uh and then and then sometimes is, like they will make you question lah like what what kind of life is like worth saving or like like if somebody like you know <mandarin>半生不死:ban sheng bu si</mandarin> at at is that still like worth


living, so like ya I'd like to think about this kind of things lah so, err, it's it's probably a good drama,


no, no lah I don't think, focus on the on the taking out the organs but it's like <mandarin>一点点而已:yi dian dian er yi</mandarin> I think it's like for the benefit of real doctors watching maybe they want to see like oh ya ya that is scientifically accurate


no but if you got time you should try like the, ya I think if you watch like the first few episodes you can kind of get the feel, of the entire show which is, quite nice very very


like you will get very <mandarin>紧张:jin zhang</mandarin> sometime because like, then like this one episode right, somebody shot a bomb, bomb ya bomb, so the <mandarin>炸弹:zha dan</mandarin> right is inside <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> chest


ya exactly <mandarin>如果拿出来:ru guo na chu lai</mandarin> right, boom


got <mandarin>伤口:shang kou</mandarin> right so like he might bleed to death, ya the episode is very nice it was very like, err, be crazy, but <mandarin>怕好:pa hao</mandarin> what, actually it's like you know got some


reaction, no I don't I don't watch korean drama


I don't like zombies though


!wow!


so like after <mandarin>你考完试:ni kao wan shi</mandarin> like do you really feel like, there is a weight lifted off your shoulders


!huh! <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> meh like look for jobs doesn't it, I don't know isn't need quite fun, because when you can <mandarin>挑:tiao</mandarin> jobs like you can look through list I don't know isn't it like <mandarin>有一点点像:you yi dian dian xiang</mandarin> like shopping


I think you should change your strategy, maybe maybe the, resumes that you will be sending out right, you, should try to, change it up


then is there option, when you apply right, to, apply to those that like you can call one also, oh like text text the recruiter or something


, ya


, true


it is important when you are trying to, you know, buy house, that one is, ya if you like for I think more insurance


I think, ya, medisave is can directly <mandarin>扣:kou</mandarin> but medishield with like you put a bit of a amount every month, then it's like insurance ah, protect you in case got


think so you can choose to opt out, but, I don't think people usually opt out ah


my diploma was paid through cash, think my parents pay, no


and I didn't know then now actually I got the diploma


!huh!, wait so, your bursary was paid through CPF


oh, so,


, !aiyo! , no I don't I don't now I also don't know I need to pay back my school fees, via CPF, for uni, ya


welcome , so you must pay back as soon as possible


but can I pay like one one big lump sum, <mandarin>不可以:bu ke yi</mandarin> meh like okay say now I have three thousand dollars in my CPF, then my uni


!wah! that's so terrible, !huh!


so it's not like I have twenty percent every month taken out of my CPF on top of that I still need to use my own cash, no no no no no as in <mandarin>我在做工的时候:wo zai zuo gong de shi hou</mandarin> like <mandarin>以后在做工的时候:yi hou zai zuo gong de shi hou</mandarin> is like


I will have to deduct twenty percent, and then on top of that I need to pay


that's terrible, what


oh that day amanda was telling me, that she very angry at her mother, okay so like, now, she work from home right


uh that, because


ya because <mandarin>他们要好像水电费:ta men yao hao xiang shui dian fei</mandarin> right, so, err now she has to pay her mom, I think five hundred every month


ya I guess so like normal lah but, ya okay not just that okay she's not back angry because of that, she is very angry because


it's like, I think, two times less of yours that's why I come into your room I like it's very very big, no lah it's not two times okay maybe like a, like this area until here like that lor, ya


ya so <mandarin>他的房间:ta de fang jian</mandarin> like not very big lah is like okay, but then, ya but <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> cousin <mandarin>拿不到:na bu dao</mandarin> dorm in NTU oh no ya so


ya so, she <mandarin>住在:zhu zai</mandarin> #yew tee# right, then the cousin just, text her mother ya <mandarin>可以我可以在你的家住几天:ke yi wo ke yi zai ni de jia zhu ji tian</mandarin> mah then the mother she just say oh


she never ask amanda you know the mother never ask amanda, like she just say oh err your cousin will be moving in, she will sleep in your room on a few days, ya exactly <mandarin>所以他很生气:suo yi ta hen sheng qi</mandarin> lor because like


like, never ask her at all some more he room is already very small and then like, ya and it doesn't make sense, dum dum the worst part is that it doesn't make sense because she lived at #yew tee# right


that one would maybe would make a bit more sense, like, she has to still take one hour plus like one hour I take one hour fifteen minutes, #seng kang#, it's even further but <mandarin>只是:zhi shi</mandarin> forty five minutes


further away, so you are troubling your cousin who you don't know very well you know they don't know ya exactly <mandarin>如果他是:ru guo ta shi</mandarin> like <mandarin>蛮亲的:man qin de</mandarin> like you know friend friend then, okay lah like not so bad right because like it's like oh very fun you can sleep over but no you know


ya then she just, insert herself into her room, and then, just for that forty five minutes, of travel time every morning and every night


I mean like from NTU it doesn't make sense some more <mandarin>他只是:ta zhi shi</mandarin> year one, ya lor, no <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> like medical student lah, maths or something cannot remember


ya I don't understand like if it really doesn't make any logical sense by her cousin also like, amanda says she like don't know low EQ or what like never think


ya but I think <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> cousin <mandarin>是这种:shi zhe zhong</mandarin> situation lah maybe like you know <mandarin>过年:guo nian</mandarin> they got talk but that's all that's all I'm not friends this ridiculous even like it


I am her friend right very close to her I also won't suddenly like !hey! you can live your house for a few days cannot right I will be like, I'm like really is being <mandarin>逼不得已:bi bu de yi</mandarin> then I go and ask this kind of thing right, but, ya for that extra few minutes of travel why do you want to cost so much trouble


ya exactly


ya, but she is more mad at her mother then she is at her cousin because, to to her you're my mother I trust you, like why wouldn't you ask me about it first before you make this kind of decision that doesn't inconvenience you mostly inconveniences me


I think it's okay leh like, unless you you really got a room to offer, then, then like that will make sense for her to move in lah but like


say you are making so many sacrifices just for someone to save forty five minutes of time, then it doesn't make any sense lah then amanda was very angry because like


like maybe because err cause, that her her that cousin right, the aunt, is rich, no no not the cousin the aunt so, the mother


ya, ya so like, amanda suspicion is that, uh maybe cause the, that aunt right is her mother's, sister


ya so maybe like, the sister got, give her some allowance lah to like allow her daughter to stay over for a few days a week so, ya, I think she's suspects because of that reason lah


, ya but I think or to her cause like he, her mother but she argued with her about it before and then she ask her like is it about the money and then and then the mother say no money is not a factor then she


oh my god of the rather diverse, ya so I think that's why she's like very, angry at her mom


then, ya I think quite <mandarin>离谱:li pu</mandarin> so that, she would you know, and some more right, there is the option not asking her cousin to stay in the living room cause the living room at least


stay in the living room


ya I I don't understand cousin at all like I think like amanda say one no EQ


like a bit <mandarin>不会想:bu hui xiang</mandarin> lor like for this kind of thing


ya, think most people will feel Paiseh one lah but, I don't know why is her mindset leh like amanda also told me that actually her she's quite close to her family also


ya exactly like she is close to her family it's not like that if you want to escape her family that she go and live with my cousin lah, I don't I got no reason for it I think maybe she said, the consequence on other people lor


I, don't know that one don't know


that still still very stupid reason lah basically like very hard to justify <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> action


I think,


like something that bothers me also is, that she, I think she maybe you missed the hall application, because according to my other friends right like, err year one, this one I know for a fact lah, NTU year one <mandarin>你是包中的:ni shi bao zhong de</mandarin> you confirm will get hall one


it's they are obligated to give you, ya, and some more now I feel like lesser people want to stay in hall because a lot of lessons are online, so like


she late, that's nonsense lah who is so so irritating don't want to go and stay with the cousin just to have a better relationship that's damn lame


, then she just never think, or she never, she never even go and try to travel from her house to NTU it's not near at all


it's like some more who house cannot walk to the MRT one eh, I think can lah but like me to walk at fifteen minutes, so you still need to take bus, to the MRT, then after that take all the way to, pioneer


oh don't have uh it's not from my house is from #choa chu kang#, , and the bus is very inconsistent, like


will have one bus, so if I missed the first <mandarin>十五分钟:shi wu fen zhong</mandarin> then I need to wait for the next <mandarin>十五分钟:shi wu fen zhong</mandarin> so it takes, so like if you you calculated your journey then


I always, before I leave the house for your <mandarin>大便:da bian</mandarin> cause in the morning right I just woke up so, err ya I always you miss the bus then I have to take like the, I try to aim for the, the one fifteen bus but I always get like the one thirty bus but okay lah I just like just nice making on time


oh I don't know I never ask her for updates like that time when I ask her the time uh, school still hasn't started


but I feel like it wouldn't even happen like because she's so angry at her mom like so against that I feel like her <mandarin>可能:ke neng</mandarin> wouldn't even happen,


ya have, it's like a freshie eh, four three or four


(mmhmm)


oh well

she don't like to share or !wah! no she really don't like everytime err, our clique hor <mandarin>我们一起出去:wo men yi qi chu qu</mandarin> right we go and eat, uh


because, she rarely ever shares or food one, ya she will like order like like let's say we like order pizza or whatever right then we will eat pizza then she own self over there eating pasta on her own she won't share one, because like she just don't like lor then I ask her like then your boyfriend how will you share with him then she was like

so terrible, ya and then can come and tell me that afterwards , terrible


ya now now is like quite default to share lah usually we order something that can share one, or like we order the same thing so don't need to share last time I feel lah ask me never share


oh ya , I remember this part everytime we want to share with you then I saliva conscious


but I know why cause you told me like that time you had your teacher then Kena hepatitis B right

or Hum ya then cause <mandarin>我们一起去:wo men yi qi qu</mandarin> #Sheng Shiong# right so like my favourite food in the world is Hum, Hum, ya then I was like can I get Hum then she's like <mandarin>你几时打过:ni ji shi da guo</mandarin> hep B, then like uh I think primary six <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> then


, but I want, she say that like this seafood right like Hum, err so about oysters, like, eh


usually <mandarin>他们里面长的东西:ta men li mian zhang de dong xi</mandarin> like it's, quite <mandarin>肮脏:ang zang</mandarin> one ah, ya that's why when you eat that time got this like, hep B is <mandarin>肮脏:ang zang</mandarin> one right is it ya it's like to


ward off the, dirty, the dirty, err things in your food that might cause food poisoning, , I don't like sia very I I like I don't mind it like I won't cry or whatever lah but like


the thought of having an injection, still scary , I know, <mandarin>做么:zuo me</mandarin> leh


oh, , ya she say especially if you were to go overseas tonight


might Kena lah like you don't know when you go, I need to get a job for, the <mandarin>打针:da zhen</mandarin> is not very expensive lah, I think you if you go polyclinic they also provide maybe like seventeen I don't know why leh


ya ya ya ya, I think seventeen plus dollars, for injection, ya you remember that time I told you err


I, I I wanted to <mandarin>打包:da bao</mandarin> my exam, no NTU we call <mandarin>打包:da bao</mandarin> when you like, when your module right you, you don't want to take the exam, so you want to bring it over to the next semester that's call <mandarin>打包:da bao</mandarin> ah ya


that semester I got this like statistics mod, that I, I know that I won't do well cause I never study very well, so I wanted I wanted to <mandarin>打包:da bao</mandarin> it to my next semester, so I went to


and then err I tried to get MC, and then right, cause err <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I tried to <mandarin>装的病:zhuang de bing</mandarin> is like not so common one, because I know, that like student tried to <mandarin>装病:zhuang bing</mandarin> like #lao sai# lah <mandarin>肚子痛:du zi tong</mandarin> lah then they will they will try to


like if let's say you say you to stomach pain right, then, they were listen to your stomach for gas, stomach pain or #lao sai#


so I I I I go in like you know, uh, come up with my own <mandarin>病:bing</mandarin> no lah it's like real one lah it's a real it's a real, illness that I have experience before it's like designer


until you like you I feel like a whole room is pinning like that, it's called vertical, eleven 的, not really, err but ya I have I have experience that before lah and I remember going to the doctor and they they couldn't really check anything they were just like ask me to like uh uh whether my <mandarin>眼神:yan shen</mandarin> align or not


ya but err, so I went to the clinic, to check and then like before that right cause I have never Keng MC before in my whole life, so


I very scared even though I've heard our local who like I've done this before lah like ask my seniors for advice also said he don't go to the clinics that until NTU because they will reject you,


ya so I went to polyclinic and #bukit batok#, then, before before I went there right like keep revising not might not exam you know I start will revise my exam because I know I not going to take it already right I revised the symptoms, of my thing


right, so, like when I revised the sentence right I really start to feel it you know


like I started you feeling dizzy, is the room moving, that's like I don't know but I am, manage to convince myself


until I really good experience the diseases, so, ya crazy right, I I know I know, so when I went to the clinic then, err they, they tested me for like my


vision and all that, ya and then err, cause the the whole reason why I was so exaggerating everything right, err it was because, you don't just have to get them see you know you have to ask the doctor to sign on a form that


states that, today I'm supposed to be having the exam and I am unfit for the exam, ya, ya ya so like I I printed that form out and then like uh, I asked the doctor to sign lah


then err after I can I after I ask the doctor to sign already right say err I think oh uh is is still, you should still try to go and take your exam, or maybe I will I will, how about I I


uh schedule an appointment with you or for the nurse's office, I


then <mandarin>你就不会头晕:ni jiu bu hui tou yun</mandarin> then I'm like excuse me, exactly I'm like in my head oh my god, this is, this is too much okay


like this has gone too far I am not going to get an injection for a sickness that I actually came up with myself, so uh when okay but luckily she already sign the form


because like the doctor is the one that authorises the, the medical certificate and the signing of that thing, the nurses don't do that they just do the #sai kang#, like the inserting the needle all that ya, so, after that like after I finish the appointment then I supposed to like go to the nurse office right then you go in already right like


I think I don't want lah , then I sit down then I said <mandarin>不要啦不要啦:bu yao la bu yao la</mandarin> I I very scared, then like you just just <mandarin>给我药:gei wo yao</mandarin> already


then they were like oh are you sure but you are taking your exam today right then I'm like err yes but err I think I should be fine lah you just give me the medicine lor I will figure already lah, so


I just I just escaped lor like I I manage to get out got my MC signed without having to get my injection I just got like some pills for my, dizziness


I think, <mandarin>因为我真的装到:yin wei wo zhen de zhuang dao</mandarin> right


exactly, <mandarin>我在他的病房里面:wo zai ta de bing fang li mian</mandarin> right <mandarin>哭和没有哭啦神经病:ku he mei you ku la shen jing bing</mandarin> I I not so exaggerated, #sot sot#, I I inside the clinic right inside the doctor's office right <mandarin>我还拿着我整叠的那种:wo hai na zhe wo zheng die de na zhong</mandarin> revision notes you know like over there I was like


, , because I really wanted her to like believe that I don't want you not faking it I really I very passionate student and then I like you know find my hair lah wear my specs like good good girl


I am am am am student, I study so much until, my head is so dizzy and ya she was like or you can choose like do you experience that's often I was like no not really then she was like any reason why are you could be experiencing this then I was like maybe I I sleep too little then she was like yes I I think so I think the exam stress


is causing you to to you know stay up late at night which could be the reason why , this then I'm like oh ya I think so,


, , not bad right but at least they, they took it right


not, oh so that the grade is passed, (mmhmm)


hello my name is Hady, hello Faidil how have you been


!wow! that sounds great aku past few days aku tak buat apa-apa yang menarik sangat aku cuma duduk dekat rumah [jer] tengok TV


so ya I haven't been out too much lately but I hope it will change in the next few days, okay so I have the first question for you my first question is just the other day I was walking outside an apple store at white sands shopping mall


and I was looking inside and I saw they were selling this new phone ah that apple just released I think probably about a month or two ago retailing about maybe eight hundred nine hundred dollars plus, and I went into the store and I took a look at the phones and I was just comparing it with the old models and I didn't actually notice much of a significant difference in the looks and I read up on the performance not that much of a difference and I was just asking myself I was wondering why would people fork out such huge amount of money for phone that is so insignificant in its performance or visuals compared to its


previous models I just wanted to know your thoughts on that


for me I would one hundred percent say with certainty that I do not think that phones in general should be retailing at four digits like one thousand dollars personally, I like to think that anything above five hundred dollars really is more of a luxury rather than the necessity


and I personally think that there are way more quality phones that you can get the super underrated for less than five hundred dollars and I think it's quite sad to see a company like apple maybe take advantage of maybe hardcore users by simply releasing phones that


are way out of the average person's price range and, I feel like it's obviously a bit sad to see from where it came from from the past years and you know these phones that come in at four digits are not really much to brag about in terms of any innovation that it possesses compared to maybe an iphone that came out two to three years ago and I'll be personally disappointed if I was a fan of apple and see with what they come up with


and I just think that since phones are such a necessity in our daily lives I feel like a one should strive, to aim for a balanced price range versus a top quality performance of a iphone


so ya I mean, so ya that's my opinion, my second question for you is the past few days the weather in singapore has been really hot


and with err the importance of us wearing mask outside with COVID going on how have you been coping with the blazing weather so far


ah ya for sure I agree, it's crazy to see what the weather is like nowadays you think that living in singapore for twenty years you get adjusted to the humid weather but it seems that everyday it just keeps getting hotter and hotter and obviously we can attribute it to, whatever you know the climate or climate change or you know but I do agree that I think the only way that we can you know try to battle this weather is to stay hydrated keep drinking lots of water and try to get to cool places as often as you can don't stay out in the heat for your own sake


ya and please don't forget to wear your mask cause for the wellbeing of the people around us, and my next question for you is what is one thing that you wish was free


ya that I totally agree with you, I can empathise with with having friends who don't have great vision and seeing them fork out a few hundred dollars on something that they need, which is the spectacles and obviously is not going to be easy for everyone to afford you know cause


obviously spectacles are very expensive although it is a necessity and if I had one thing that I wish was free I would say something along similar lines I'd say I wish that healthcare was free, cause it's as a person who has been to hospital trips a few times and I've seen the amount of money that not just me but maybe the people around me have to fork out


just to pay their hospital bills and obviously in singapore is I'm very thankful that the government helps us a lot in subsidies but obviously healthcare is also important in singapore first first class, hospitals here and first class treatment and I guess can't take for granted the subsidies that the government gives but


my parents have to fork out some cash and my parent's siblings have to fork out some cash just to be able to afford and you know help chip in


so in an ideal world if I could ask for one thing to be free I would say free healthcare for everybody regardless of who they are what their salaries status is, yes


that's a good question something that I've thought about since I was a young kid as well I'm sure everybody has thought of it and been asked at some point if I could have one superpower it I guess I have to go with the superpower of invisibility


and I think it would be pretty obvious why I think it be pretty cool to be running around and nobody sees where or who you are, I can just board the plane and get past custom without anybody seeing me you know can travel anywhere I want, so ya I I think I'll be a pretty good criminal if I had the invisibility superpower you know it's just I think it'll be pretty fun to say the least


obviously as of right now I don't think it's possible for anybody to be invisible so you know who knows maybe one day in the future kita boleh hilangkan diri eh in a way that, nobody can see us and obviously I hope for it to be


temporary rather than permanent cause I still want to see my parents, I don't want to be invisible without them seeing me that'll be that'll be pretty bad I'd say what about you


I mean ya that's that sounds great to be honest mind reading I'm sure everybody has wanted to do it


, ya betul-betul boleh baca minda kawan lah kalau dia tengah tipu ke kalau dia tengah jujur ke tak tahu lah kalau orang ini berbual merepek ke you know I mean I guess mind reading is I'd say is pretty powerful to be honest but who knows maybe someday


we can have any planted tube inside our brain you know where we can access one another but I guess for my own personal reasons I wouldn't want people reading my mind you know, I'm sure you agree


ya of course my next question to you is if you can instantly master three skills, what would be the three skills and why


ah ya before I say the three skills I master I I agree with your last point about being able to, be friends with everybody cause as an introvert, I often see myself having maybe a bit of trouble maybe a bit of shyness trying to


interact with the people around me although at the same time it makes me treasure, whatever friends I have now more than anything I have in the world, and right now the three skills that I'd master


the third skill that I would like to master is probably, (hmm), I think I would say


being able to master just learning anything as quickly as possible and obviously it sounds more vague I mean I'd say anything cause obviously in life you will come across a lot of challenges and a lot of new experiences and


I think it would be great if I could just learn anything at hand just instantaneously cause, obviously I don't want to fall behind and you know let's say I enter the workforce and and you know there's something new to be learned or something new to be


to be found out then I guess I would like to be able to learn it as quickly as possible, just for the for my own benefit, and moving on my next question to you is, do you watch TV and if so what genre of TV do you watch


from ya I mean ya actions sounds great I I also want to ask you what what kind of movies or shows do you watch regarding that topic


maybe, dwayne the rock johnson maybe


ya that I mean I mean I'm not personally I'm not a big fan of action myself I think I would rather access my emotions cause my favourite, genre of TV, or movies I'd say is definitely romance cause I'm a bit of a softie myself so I like to cry


some of my favourite shows or movies of romance I'd say for TV shows I would go with master of none starring #aziz ansari#, it's really great it really got me in my feelings, for movies there's a lot but I name my top three I'd say number three I would say maybe five hundreds days of summer


starring zoey deschanel number two maybe I'd say her starring joaquin phoenix and number one I'd say lala land starring emma stone and ryan gosling


obviously any movie starring the rock and kevin hart, those are absolute blockbuster movies and they always live up to their names, ya and, regarding the questions about TV I'd say in this generation maybe TV is not quite the medium where we watch movies nowadays I think most of us would want to watch it on our phones


or maybe on a tablet where it's easier to access I mean obviously it's a shame to see TV dying out but, ya this is the new medium and most of us have already adjusted to it


I I agree I personally myself for romance movies I, my favourite movie itself indeed it's not the ending is not the cliche of, other like other romantic movies in fact the ending it's not cliche itself was the reason why I was crying so much cause it was so unexpected


so ya I mean it's hard to pick out something that is so good and and maybe a genre that is so saturated with just plain jane movies that we seen over and over again, and so now my next question to you is along the lines of TV and movies if you could become an actor or an actress who would it be


ya johnny depp is indeed a fantastic actor who doesn't love pirates of the carribean right well personally I would say if I could become an actor I would, want to become ryan gosling, obviously cause he is in my favourite movie lala land acting with my favourite actress emma stone


so you know if I could take his place that will be pretty sweet and I mean the guy has acted in quite a lot of great movies like nice guys and and I guess his sense of humor and how he says it in a dead in a deadpan way


I kind of see his resemblance or my resemblance in him so ya I I like him


I mean I mean to be honest if one day I woke up as johnny depp I won't be complaining to be honest but ya I guess johnny depp and ryan gosling personally really not, the same type of actor maybe, or maybe play the same type of movies, I mean you have your own opinions and I have my own taste ah so ya and to be honest I don't really care about who johnny depp dates to be honest


I I more of a fan of the movies that ryan plays so ya, I mean it'd be pretty sweet to wake up one day as a as a famous actor in hollywood, my next question to you is


would you rather fight one, horse sized otter or one hundred otter sized horses personally I think I would rather fight just one horse sized otter cause, I think I don't think I can handle one hundred of something


and very small but you know it comes in pax so, I think I might get overwhelmed pretty quickly but, it's just a hypothetical and I just want to know what you think


thank you for agreeing with me and my next question to you is on the more sentimental a nostalgic note if you found a time capsule from yourself ten years ago what would have been inside that time capsule


if what else would I put inside I probably put in a few of my


xbox three sixty console disc inside cause I have very fond memories of me playing games on my console when I got back from home, from primary school games like tiger woods VGA tour maybe or maybe like


, FIFA O nine or FIFA ten, where I would just everyday go home and play it carefreely, so, ya lah , just


I can't I can't really think of what else lah to put inside but, if I knew I'd agree with Faidil as well, I would put in a note to myself I think it's like it's like what you said lah I just


I just write to myself and, and just talk to myself about how life how great life was ten years ago, I I really wish I could go back in time ah, so ya that's what I would find inside my time capsule


do you have a question for me


okay sure I I will ask you the question my next question is, if you had three wishes maybe for yourself for your family or you know you just for the whole world what will you wish for


that sounds like a pretty decent innovation, I I would definitely hope that


wishes


so yang pertama I would wish for poverty to end cause, you live a cruel world and it's hard live without money so I just give an infinite amount of cash to


basically every single billion person in the world, you know just drop them a stack of cash so that they can, live a better life, my second wish would be being the crazy football fan that I am I really wish I could own


chelsea football football club and cause I I really love football and I really love the club so it would be pretty cool to own the club lah cause I think that I can run the club better than its current owner and I think I have some pretty good ideas and on who to buy and


you know I can just give myself unlimited free tickets to watch the games so it's I think it's a pretty good package you know if I could ask for it and my third wish would be, if I had a third wish I would just in a cliche kind of answer I would wish for everybody to just have eternal happiness cause


it's hard to see your own friends or your own family be down sometimes, and even yourself so it's like it's, I mean obviously everybody goes through rough times but, it would be nice to see everybody live very happily for until whenever


you know so ya that would be my three wishes I've heard yours, selfish


and my next question to you is


if you were to eat one dish for the rest of your life, what would it be


if I could have one dish for the rest of my life


and aku and I really like it and I do not know how to make it so, I mean I I take it as my meal for the rest of my life but


ya, I think, it's more of a sentimental dish rather than a dish of, you know something more extravagent like you know maybe a steak, maybe Wagyu beef maybe, but no I would think my own mum's dish


is it a job that like any job I can choose, I would choose, I would take two jobs one job I would want to become an actor, in hollywood cause that's something that I always wanted to do


cause there's a lot of people I admire in the industry, , I really like the work that they do and you know how they always


the first people when the news breaks so, the first people to report on something new happens, I feel like the thrill of the job, is something that I can never get bored of, , there's always something satisfactory that I can look forward everyday


what about you


!wow! those three jobs sound great, and you know I will move on to the next question now, the next question is, good looks or a fake body, what would you prefer


I think would say that, a girl's personality is number one right


that's that's just what I think lah obviously everybody has their own preferences but if, I think if given a choice I would give a girl I would get a girl with a banging personality, over someone with a face like a a ten lah what about you


ya of course personality is always number one, and obviously we cannot judge a person by what they look like judge a book by its cover you know, so ya


!wow! first of all, I, that is a surprising statistic personally


and and I just think that maybe it's maybe it's a taboo for them to talk about it and maybe they are not as open to it as us and obviously suicide is just


is is a is a horrible way to end someone's their their own life and I I hope that anybody who goes through maybe a a depressive phase you know you know troubled times I really hope that they, would seek a therapist or someone who is an expert to to help them cause it's it's always sad when you know someone who's taken their lives or just


you wish you could have helped to avoid it but tak boleh so, it's just a waste of a life ah and what's your thoughts


ya for sure I feel like, the awareness itself about mental health is very important obviously in the past few years I think it's been way better now nowadays and as someone who knows somebody else who's who has anxiety who who has gone through depressive phase and knows about it I know about them I I myself am guilty of disregarding their feelings and just telling them to you know


get on with it you know and I as having been there and done that obviously I am very guilty and I feel bad about them cause cause and thankfully obviously they did not they did not end their own lives cause you know they manage to seek help but I guess I guess everybody


why you know has has been there when it comes to disregarding someone's else feelings and I think it's something that as a community I think we all can improve on, how about you Faidil


oh should should I go first ya first of all I'd say there's a lot that I am thankful for to be born in singapore first of all, I'm very thankful that my parents have been able to live a stable life being here I myself have been able to been raised up in a good community in a good place living in a HDB block


when I think about the past twenty years living in singapore I'm very I'm very thankful and memang bersyukurlah dapat pergi sekolah belajar daripada kindergarten sampai sekarang dekat sekolah poly ambil diploma


and and seeing what my parents have to work for just to be able to afford to send them to school to send them for their hospital meetings all and seeing the cost of it itself I'm very thankful that the government helps to cover and


I know my dad has never said it but I'm quite sure he is very thankful as well, and I I just hope that, me and the people around me will be able to work hard and just live a stable life in singapore, how about you Faidil


I also like to give a shoutout to all the nurses who work during the COVID period we are also very thankful that they putting the hours everyday cause it's been a it's been crazy times for singapore for the whole world and it just I like to give my appreciation I'm sure my friend Faidil feels the same way and with that I Faidil thank you for talking to me today I'm sure we talk about a lot of stuff a lot of different stuff today did you have a good time


and with that both of us would like to say thank you and have a nice day thank you terima kasih bye bye


and this is Wafaidil, pretty good you know and it's uh it's been an eventful weekend I've been spending a lot of family bonding time with my family uh spending I just spend today at the beach in Sentosa and


and cause we had a lot of free time and considering it's gonna be another stressful week of work or study err this coming week, we just wanted to spend this last day of the weekend you know just playing around the sand throwing each other into the sea spending quality family time


what about you Hady what have you done for this weekend


personally I wouldn't say that it's insignificant lah I'm just gonna say that, there's a little room to improve cause as of now, unless innovation is kicked in and newer ways are produced


we can't really get any better cause it's already it already seemed flawless ah, and now it's just depends on like what are the different types of features being added to the newer phones and how important are these features and how frequent are they being used in our daily lives how does it improve the quality of life I would say that is one criteria that big brands such as apple should instill lah looking for newer features that can improve the daily quality of their customers


one question I would like to ask you would be, do you think a phone should cost around, a thousand cause the new iphones I've seen when walking past those apple stores, were actually around a thousand ah for the iphone eleven max pro what do you think of the price tag and do you think it's worth it


in terms of the mask in this hot weather we can't really do anything to, minimise its effect on us ah cause we always have to ensure that we have our mask on on public transport in our offices when we conversing with our perhaps colleagues and friends and


there's no way around it ah it's always err prioritizing our own safety over such comforts like ah fighting off against the heat ah and but what I would suggest


for you to keep up with this heat is to always drink a lot of water, ah more water is put in ourselves and we will kita akan rasa hydrated lah


okay my


me personally I've been living with having to wear spectacles ever since I was a kid lah and, me as being someone very err, very err


I would say, fair on what I spend my money on, I feel that spectacles should be free ah cause I didn't ask to be born with err bad eyesight and


this is some this is a necessity to (ppc) ask to contribute to the workforce so I think that it should be free for us to, you know see properly do better jobs at what we do


and yeah


that is something I could agree on ah for you know countries like switzerland providing eh countries like sweden sorry, countries like sweden providing free healthcare for their their people and hopefully one day countries like singapore can also err adopt that err value of err taking care of their people's health lah


and providing certain free services for like I would say certain be better cause, err we do not we don't want to put our country in debt cause of the supplies needed for this medical you know and


I would like to ask you another question Hady , it may be seem out of context but if you could have one superpower what would it be


after much consideration of like, ah me personally being someone who cares about my self image and what other think about me, I think I'd go with mind reading you know cause


is like you know whenever you go through your festive seasons you do your house visiting I just want to read the minds of the aunties inside the household and just like, think ah do they have a good image of me do they secretly have a secret hatred towards me cause I eat too much at their house


ya then you know it's a certain sentimental reasons just to, I just want I just want to read how people think about me and like, what they go through in life, how much better of a person I can cheat I can be towards them


to stop treating them badly understand their situation deeper detail cause I'll be reading their mind lah through through their eyes lah basically seeing their lives through their eyes, and you know that mind reading ability might come to might be useful for me during like exams cause sometimes you know you run run you run into hard eh hard questions which


you kind of overlooked when you were studying and you didn't know how to do so, why not mind read the smartest student who is just a few chairs away from you right, and get that higher mark ah and hopefully and through that


enter good uni you know, err back to you Hady


ah and you can also read the minds of all the makcik-makcik what they are talking about between each other, you can just listen from afar right


(hmm), ya yes of course you know err, throughout the our daily life you always think about a bit sometimes weird stuff that just passes by our mind and we don't want to err give off a wrong image to the person reading our mind lah cause


we show what we want to show to people we don't want to show them what we don't want to show, cause we know it's not right but it's still being processed in our brain so ya lah


ah, (hmm) kalau aku I feel that


I aku akan belajar err what what's that photo photo memory, where you see something once, this is useful cause when you're studying and you have to flip through so many pages from your textbook


and having this photo memory you can instantly pick it up, so as you as you're when you're doing your exam, this image will straightaway just pop up in your brain and you can copy word for word giving them the model answer


the second skill I would have to say would be (hmm) I've always been a big fan of gordon ramsay so probably cooking ah cause, err food is like such a wonder to this work there's so much unique taste there so much unique


err ingredients to be explored, ya unique fusions so me myself being able to learn how to cook really like, drives me lah to try out different things different you know different cuisines and learn them cook them in my ah


at at my convenience with my own mix ya, as for the third skill I would say right, is, being able to


make friends with anyone, err I feel that being social is quite important in my life cause like, err, I'm err I always have to interact with people in school in work


in in my own household err and , somewhat lacking in the social department lah cause, err it always seem like I just don't mix well with people and


err, we just uh interested in different things lah, so that's just me and my err life relations lah, err masing-masing ada masalah sendiri [kan]


you know


(hmm) me being a mobile phone kind of person whenever I do turn on the TV to watch, it would have to be either action, or stuff that is animated lah cause the movies like with actions or animations


are deeper appreciated if you view them on the bigger screen cause you view details that you would miss out on a small frame of a phone so with this big frame you notice every single detail every single ah intricate detail of like


explosions err hidden features like like, somewhat of sudden appearance


if, my favourite action movie would have to be the expendables ah cause, err, nearly all my favourite actors ah actors and actresses are in there my idol


err there's also, err people like, err rocky ah


ah he's always I've I recalled seeing him when whenever I was a child my parents would play his movie ah


ya I totally agree with you on your last point but I also, I would like to disagree with you about the romance ah, for me personally I feel that romance plots are always the same it's always the hero save the damsel


and then they just fall in love and get a happy ending, which is always being overplayed overplayed overplayed cause people want that idealistic ending and I feel like movie movie director should make a more


diverse type of ending for example one of the lovers dies coming to the ending or like, ah the lover finds another lover you know to create different emotions lah of


in a love lah


(hmm) kalau aku eh nak jadi actor, honestly I would always go for my celebrity crush ah, mister johnny depp he has a very err mysterious unpredictable vibe towards him with his smoldering looks


you know he he just a hottie ah I would say, err but recently I've been hearing that he's been abused, by his err former wife eh ah by amber heard, it's kind of sad lah I just wish him the best ah


(hmm) so you're telling me you would rather be ryan gosling over johnny depp, who in the past has know been known for, you know dating a lot of beautiful girls over


this newcomer ryan gosling, or perhaps (oo) because of sentimental reasons you say cause he relates to you, similar ah I relate to my johnny depp cause you know


well


on that note, I can agree with you cause I've always been scared of ants and as you know ants always come in pax, and that has always been one of my fears growing up or being bitten by multiple ants so


when you say a hundred otter sized horses, an otter is not that small but that would be scary cause I would be overwhelmed whereas if I had to fight an


horse sized otter, I mean a horse is pretty big but, it's not an like an elephant big, so, ya I think I can I could somewhat stand a chance more more, to the


compared to the small otters ah eh small horses ah


knowing me right, I think that, if I were to put stuff inside time capsule, it would be, green tea ah, cause I've been drinking that ever since primary school ah, and then such a you know a singaporean drink


every single day auntie, one green tea ah and it's always so cheap you know it's like one one twenty one ten, ya and ah another item I would say is probably


(hmm), probably a note to myself from the past err you know lah, when you're in the future you're in the past, you always want to know lah like what's your future self


err you you always want to ask yourself how you're doing ah basically a reality check from the past ah


and the third item I would put in there would be something that could last long, or gain in value like perhaps, for his rolex you know


put it in a time capsule you know so for fifteen years for example, it has not been touched that rolex has been inside that box, who knows what the value could be by then you know it might be more it might be less but hopefully it would be more lah cause


ah as for you Hady what would you put inside


you could say we have, you could say we have pretty similar taste ah putting a note together, take ah, you want me ah one what do you have another question you would like to ask me


if if I had three wishes ah, honestly, me being me, I probably wish for a hundred billion dollars ah people say money can't buy happiness


but not for me ah, I could sponsor my parents trips to their haji every single year, how does that not make you happy, and I could also own


like big houses by the ocean, and give them one to each of my siblings, for their families, so, I don't see why money can't buy happiness you know, these sentimental reasons are like


these big purchases can like improve our quality of life so, deeper appreciation for each other you know, as for the second wish right, ah I would honestly


wish for an air conditioned shirt, so that when cause singapore's weather is so hot nowadays, literally the moment you step out, you start sweating, so an air conditioned shirt


would be so useful in our day and time ah, of course err, you just keep your whole body cold you'll be more energetic


err ya you can just run about your day without having to be drenched in sweat having to worry about smelling bad, you know, quite a useful item to wish for to be honest, and as for my third wish I would


probably ask for, for me to hold my own concert lah, me being me I've heard myself sing in the toilet a few times and, you could say I can hit them notes ah and


uh I've always idolized this K pop stars ever since I was young so I inspired to have my own concert with, people rushing over to see me perform, so ya those are pretty much


the three things ah that, I would wish for ah, okay, that's me with me that's me with the questions done how about you Hady, what would you wish for


those are very good wishes ah your first wish makes me err seems like a very stingy person and selfish ah cause, you'd wish for people to gain an access to an unlimited amount of money right


and whereas I prioritize myself ah, and as for your second wish I, really hope you could amend that ah cause who would want to be the owner of such a


buy in team and with no history, so no point supporting and being an owner of a team that has no backbone ah so if you could, I would suggest you err be the owner of liverpool instead ah


fair enough ah


oh that is very easy, that is very easy, for me, personally, I will eat #nasi lemak#, cause, uh actually no I will take back my I will take back my answer


the remainder of my life ah, probably #nasi ayam penyet# ah, it literally has all components I need ah, it has vegetables you know sometimes they put cabbage under the


fried chicken, they always give like slices of potatoes, ah there's always cucumber which is good, err of course lah the primary part ah


of course lah the, primary part, of the dish of #nasi ayam penyet# which is the fried chicken, which is a great source of protein you know, and


and always a small kick of spice with the sambal belacan that is always given so ya I would say that's a pretty, pretty balanced meal for me to continue being happy and with my body ah


ya, so, if I could eat one dish


so Hady if you could eat one dish what will you eat


(hmm), quite quite a good reason sentimental I've went for the well balanced route you've went to, your mum's cooking which is, what what we eat daily, day to day like right now but


okay I would like to ask you one question, if you could, what is your ideal job, that you wish you be doing in the future


ya you can choose any job you want


kalau aku [kan], I would want to be a, err I would want to run my own radio like


have you heard of the malay podcast called, okay let's go, yes that's something that I have, really been look look up to lah cause these three guys are, literally talking about the issues in singapore


without restrictions, they literally just, talk without boundaries cause, they have no limitations they speak on real problems, highlighting what, highlighting ya highlighting the problems


what could be done to , err prevent such things from happening again, and they just a wonderful bunch ah they very humorous, and


that ah that just quit their nine to five jobs and just, ah started a podcast which became singapore number one podcast is just, !wow!, if only I could do that with two other people


with someone budgeting us, another job that I would be, probably the law law sector ah


err, giving people that deserve judgement, the fair judgment ah


that give him the proper , punishment, they can be bought off ah, err you know there's always speculations that


judges are very biased nowadays for like, the NUS cases, you know, just cause they have a four point O, GPA they get excused from molestation, record people showering like


does that even makes sense ah, just cause they have a potential bright future, they can do all these nonsense I don't think so, then


ya I would try to be I would try to prioritize lah, justice ah over anything, and for my third job ah, honestly I would want something social lah, so perhaps


err, a singaporean tour guide, I've always been you know, pretty excited on meeting new walks of life in singapore, and you know just conversing


knowing what they like about singapore what they don't like, we have to know lah cause we we be pretty egoistic if we don't, want to know what they don't like us, maybe we can improve from there, and you know we can learn what unique about singapore


and in, meeting new people has always been a, err err a hobby of mine which I like ah cause you know, you have more friends, you learn more cause you're you've open up to more people


and different people act differently ah so, you would probably learn you know how, how people act, and adjust yourself accordingly lah if the people Macam


you can learn, how to deal, back to you Hady


(hmm), for me personally, from what I've seen ah


eh, sorry sorry sorry I would like to take that back, I would like to say that good looks are more important than a fit body ah cause, err I've seen a lot of malay girls cause I malay, err I've seen a lot of malay girls fall for guys simply for their looks


they could be as skinny as a board, and they would get, you know,


, good looks over that one ah, cause they also keep in mind that they want, they want to have like a good face so that, you don't get bored of them ah easily


apart from their good personality, there's also the complimentary of a good face, from what I ask my female friends lah female melayu friends, that's what they say ah how about you Hady what you think


there there's no point if you have good looks


but dia kurang ajar dengan kau dia tak jaga hati kau what's the point of all these if cannot that's why ya ya personally, out of the two options I would if only I could slot in the choice of personality (oo) then that's what I would choose lah primarily ya stick to good looks lah


okay err passing back to me I would like to ask you a question


why do you think the number one leading death cause for young people in singapore is suicide, why do you think so


personally aku setuju dengan your opinion that hidup kita semua err is moving in a very fast pace ah and you all happening, it's all happening very fast and sometimes we don't have the time to like to comprehend and adjust to it ah so ya all these build up pressure would be


kind ah kind ah does a heavy toll on us ah, ya and it's it's sad to say that personally I feel that in asian household


err mental health ini memang overlooked at ah, they just avoided ah like what you said it's like a taboo in our household, it is it is rarely talk about cause ya when our parents were growing up


they never really consider themselves they always thought of the consequences for example so what if their jobs were stressful, is better than being jobless


apa err making it more of a, err raising awareness lah I would say err to this type of issue ah back to you Hady


oh, (hmm) ya I agree with your statement, this that that change must be must happen we have to strive for more supportive family it's about supportive background you know


ya err okay time to turn err time to turn to happier pastures ah from this depressing err fix err, what would like to ask you right


about some things you appreciate about being a singaporean, some things you appreciate about being a singaporean, ya


, as a singaporean something that I can be proud of and appreciative is, our public transport lah, I would say we have the best public transport cause, our buses nowadays are very clean very fast and


with the introduction of err electrical buses, very green ah, I would say we've been making an effort to reduce carbon monoxide err you know, to play our part in keeping singapore green country


and ya something that I'm proud of being singaporean is I think an effective and also green public transport


yes of course Hady we talked about certain questions and, getting our opinions on certain issues I feel like this talk was very good ah productive bagus ah


yes, let's start, (mmhmm)


it's like, it's like cause I came from #yuan ching# right, then, you know a lot of people have like a bad sentiment again, but like <mandarin>我的老师:wo de lao shi</mandarin> and my teachers they all very nice to me and like they very passionate and stuff


then that's why I think like I was able to like come out from my, very like, phase after, sad sad <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> emo <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> phase after


very bad lah, uh, no, but ya maybe maybe ya but see I still got into a better JC than you mah


all schools, oh ya hor I'm contradicting myself a bit eh, okay wait wait okay is all schools are good schools <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> hor you must see right all schools are good schools but then that's (ppc)


no they're better but, all the schools are good mah


err, yes, okay then <mandarin>有可能不是:you ke neng bu shi</mandarin> all good all schools <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> good schools like


uh


okay lah <mandarin>不同:bu tong</mandarin> mah <mandarin>因为那时我是:yin wei na shi wo shi</mandarin> big fish in small pond, yes <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> agree <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> hor <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> hor <mandarin>你看我进:ni kan wo jin</mandarin> #yuan ching# hor


ah


what was my first few choices ah, #fu hua# sec


#bukit batok#, Jurong I think is Jurong


uh, mummy


ah ya lah if #shu qun# is no no lah


I, I think it was changed, we, it's either #yu hua# or it was Jurong view but I don't remember going for Jurong view


eh ya, except for #hua yi# #hua yi# was, #hua yi# was exactly my cut off point but they rejected me cause I think it was my second choice instead of first choice


but it was okay so I I didn't even get to pick my choices mummy was the one who picked for me


, ya but who studies for PSLE sia no one


uh, it's like, secondary school <mandarin>我觉得就:wo jue de jiu</mandarin> better Liao


primary school right is always like for the kids to develop their own, hobbies and stuff and like for them to find to enjoy their childhood lah so like if you realise right most, like, you have your JC or your secondary school right have peoples from people from multiple multiple primary schools come one


so like primary school doesn't really matter cause in the end is up to, ya lah then if you got money ah then put into ACS junior lor ACS junior go ACS barker ACS barker go ACS


AC JC lor, #hwa chong# got got, #hwa chong# got , affiliation meh, I know #hwa chong# sec to #hwa chong# JC got lah, but primary


that's what I know about the ACS bracket lah cause from AC JC mah so, I know lah ACS it's like that lah most of some of my friends, come from ACS junior or ACS primary


then they go to ACS barker or ACSI then they come AC JC lah


ah, (uh huh)


uh no, don't have something, okay but but hor if you okay let's say majority of the people don't take affiliation as part cause affiliation is a very small group of people so if you are thinking majority right, the


the majority right they will always, uh, how to say leh uh it's like, it's like neighbourhoods like all primary schools are neighbourhood schools lor so it's like, !aiya! whatever <mandarin>靠近就靠近:kao jin jiu kao jin</mandarin> lor <mandarin>就去那边:jiu qu na bian</mandarin> lor it's like


ya lah so like for us <mandarin>我们两个都去:wo men liang ge dou qu</mandarin> #yu hua# primary, no, [orh] <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> hor, but <mandarin>你看因为我本身觉得:ni kan yin wei wo ben shen jue de</mandarin> hor


a good a good school doesn't mean they have good teachers you know I think #yuan ching# is not a very good school in terms of, the students who enter there


(uh huh)


!wah!, ,


actually ya


so <mandarin>可是讲真的:ke shi jiang zhen de</mandarin> hor okay I came from both #yuan ching# and then I also entered AC JC lah


but I can see how like they're actually is a difference lah cause like, I think I don't know but okay so like, I don't know in terms of the same level of studies cause AC JC I mean AC JC is A level and I know sec #yuan ching# is O level lah so maybe the type of content they study is different so notes needed is different also


but when we talk about facilities I think ya definitely like AC JC more like alumni funding, got more facilities lor cause like, AC JC <mandarin>有一个很大:you yi ge hen da</mandarin> like got a very big like gym gym like very big gym but then


in all schools like in singapore like a school gym, the largest, but then


their compound so big they got a lot of other facilities what so it's like, they are not they don't have like, like hardcore, sportsman or hardcore jocks that want to train and become fit, ya they are more like nerdy and stuff okay that's a stereotype lah


the notes or like the facilities provided, err what else ah I also think


probably eh, ya probably , okay I have changed my viewpoint today


cannot, I tell you can or not okay ah, as a person


as a student who have undergone, both, and I've, I have friends who have talked to me also I think we have reached a conclusion that HBL or home based learning, is, unhelpful for our studies especially during the A levels year


okay ah you see ah at home right then you see ah your bed is a few metres away from you, and then like you know like in between breaks in school you still have to sit down or stand up what but then at home you can sit down and then lie down, but you can lie down on your bed right still get tempted mah


then after you get tempted then you will sleep mah so like I think this occurred to me once I think was like during my break then I went to sleep then I woke up ten minutes after the lesson started, then I was like shoot, and then ya lah so so it's definitely not helpful lah cause you're missing lessons


, yes, but then hor, we also figured that hor HBL very nice cause


no need to travel to school, , casted <mandarin>其他的都是:qi ta de dou shi</mandarin> live lesson lor <mandarin>就很烦:jiu hen fan</mandarin> eh


one or two one hour lah forty for forty minutes lah <mandarin>可是我们在家里:ke shi wo men zai jia li</mandarin> hor travel time is zero hours leh so <mandarin>我们讲我们:wo men jiang wo men</mandarin> assembly <mandarin>八点:ba dian</mandarin> eight AM in the morning hor


then <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> oh teacher I'm present


ah <mandarin>所以:suo yi</mandarin> okay let's say assembly eight AM hor like during HBL period leh <mandarin>我就会:wo jiu hui</mandarin> like


actually right towards closer towards the end of home based learning, I think, I think that I, I feel like home based learning is like holiday to me compared to live lesson


one week cause for us was one week live and then one week home based right so whenever you are at home doing home based learning to me it was like !wah! to relax ya it feels different so it's like holiday can relax relax then I don't then I end up not doing like, homework, outside this


ah


, ya lah ya lah, I think true lah, and like


ah <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> okay <mandarin>我觉得是那些有:wo jue de shi na xie you</mandarin> practical <mandarin>的会:de hui</mandarin> disrupt, , dry practical lor <mandarin>我们老师全部:wo men lao shi quan bu</mandarin> record lor


(uh huh), (uh huh)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


!aiyo! so sad


ya, ah ya ya, ya cause like, right now actually no we ended already cause we need to prepare for A levels and promo labs so I did my last few labs like two weeks ago and the, and the saddest thing was cause the lab is so stuffy sometimes then still have to wear a mask on top of it


ya lah but like definitely, I think seeing the like the reactions or like the experiment for like chemistry the reaction then physics is the the experiment like seeing it, is like it's it's more fun lah


the, you know there's a theory, ya


, okay okay so I tell you like uh a few days


a few days ago I just had my prelim lab for, physics ah so the first question was like they make us put like a chain of twenty five paper clips on a metre rule then they put the metre rule at the edge of the bench table bench and then ask us to slide one end the the end closer to the edge of the bench


of the meter rule, then just to see how many paper clips will it take to cause the entire chain of paper clips to slip off ah, then they ask you to count count count then they ask you to repeat the experiment after putting a plasticine on the


on the, end of the paper clip, which is on the table lah so like example one end paper clip then <mandarin>另外一个:ling wai yi ge</mandarin> end hor which is on the metre rule not at the edge of the table, have plasticine on it, so like the obviously the


ya it's like counter weight ah then ask us redo again then they ask us to like, find, then they ask you to find the percentage then they ask you to see whether, this thing holds true for the relationship lor, the theory is like what


number of paper clips off, equals to, number of paper clips, off the table equals to K times, k times the number of paper clips on the table


ya, I don't remember already lah I remember all I remember is I really hate


!aiyo!, application, higher order thinking uh ya that's what my teacher always say


ya then like we still have pendulum ah just that now we have two pendulums we have to look at lor then they ask you to change the length of each so they give you a my my second question was this, this like pendulum set up where like one of the box was longer


one of the the pendulum box the metal thing was bigger than the other, then after that they ask you to make change the length of it such that they both swing, in the same, frequency frequency for for at least three the first three waves ah


and then like they ask you to, they ask you to find the period and stuff they ask you measure diameter of box then ask you, like plot a graph, ya, so it's like, like <mandarin>很多东西要做:hen duo dong xi yao zuo</mandarin> lor then !wah! <mandarin>很烦:hen fan</mandarin> eh I


think I didn't finish the thing, !wah! planning was the worst, okay ya ya, (mmhmm)


uh, I would risk, !wah! what I will risk ah !wah! let's see what is my dream, I think my dream is to become like, okay it was first to become a K pop star


!aiya! just NS


ruins my plan lor, okay <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> plan <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> hor, practice dancing <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> singing then <mandarin>我就去:wo jiu qu</mandarin> audition for JYP <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> JYP best K pop company


family lor


move to korea to train, ya lah so like one of the things I might have have to risk is family lah which, obviously I don't think I want to risk so, kind of <mandarin>死心:si xin</mandarin> Liao


then <mandarin>我干嘛浪费我时间:wo gan ma lang fei wo shi jian</mandarin> then <mandarin>我还没有:wo hai mei you</mandarin> job <mandarin>可是你看我想:ke shi ni kan wo xiang</mandarin> hor <mandarin>如果我是:ru guo wo shi</mandarin> if <mandarin>如果我是:ru guo wo shi</mandarin> train by JYP ah, then I come back to singapore right then I can use trained by JYP entertainment


and then I can start up, ya trained by JYP entertainment then I can start up my own dance company or dance studio then people like oh my god he's actually trained by a K pop so, like, not only can I like help the art scene to become like


like more, , vibrant in singapore, like I also can like, help all those like, my the next generation of, wannabe K pop stars


okay it's not really fame lor <mandarin>我就觉得新加坡的:wo jiu jue de xin jia po de</mandarin> artists like artist industry <mandarin>太:tai</mandarin> Sian Liao, then like


nate, china lah, that one USA lah


like english ah but then like <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> hor K pop is more very well known around the globe mah so like if we think about if like a well known singaporean becomes a K pop star, and then, the whole world starts to know about singaporeans having like talents then like maybe like


artists will like want to come and work with singapore, artistes lah like all those singers like maybe like future in the future like what, like , uh, I forget what's the sound of the nails like maybe like, zara larsson, like maybe want to work with like sam willows or something or like


uh, (uh huh) ya they worked with sam willows, ya


ya lah but like that's slowly but that's part of the youtube part what, so like people who are like, but it's still not very famous ya so like larger labels or like larger people like taylor swift maybe taylor swift, they see like, like more well known like actually singaporean have like


talented singers or, bloomer lah, so like, if I can try then why not try lah


ya lah like, okay like, (mmhmm)


ya lah is naive lah because we're possess it say there's this music collective or individual skills we partner with skip, (uh huh)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), oh


why eh,


ya I think our standard, ya lah the E sports team in singapore, oh ya


ya, [orh] ,


cause they don't understand mah


ah


, (uh huh), okay


(mmhmm), most lah


oh yes, ah okay lah cause like okay let's say like a K pop group right there are like seven people, there will only be like one lead one main dancer and one main vocalist, or like two main vocalists and then one main rapper so like the I think you


it's like the others are just really just, back, ya like fillers to make a group lor, but then again if you consider like looks as a talent then maybe , they got looks


no eh all JYP JYP don't force their talents to do plastic surgery so, ya but okay, but most in JYP


(mmhmm), but most JYP talents won't lah but okay understand where you're coming from like, they're really not talented okay, but then again if you think about it, english most english celebrities


some english celebrities are not very talented also what, like personally I don't think, no I think one right okay maybe not okay let's be let's be honest for one direction, #niall horan# is talented what


he is, his vocals are lacklustre but he can play and sing, but he can play and sing compared to like, others


okay okay okay, okay if you okay if you hate on #niall horan# it's, oh


C R,


okay


okay, so, wait what were we talking about again


ya lah I also grew out of it already, uh, ya


famous, not, !aiyo!


!ouch!, oh dear


[orh] the beaunite ah [orh], ya, okay but then that's because right their


they are like okay okay <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> they can never be okay, they tried


ya they're very toxic, ya but the thing is <mandarin>因为他们没有:yin wei ta men mei you</mandarin> go through training then <mandarin>我们这些:wo men zhe xie</mandarin> K pop fans <mandarin>觉得这些:jue de zhe xie</mandarin> beaunite <mandarin>的人:de ren</mandarin> ah, is like, mocking the K pop industry lah that's why <mandarin>有些:you xie</mandarin> fans <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> !aiya!


I'm gonna generalise them as BTS armys cause BTS armys are very toxic so like I think like <mandarin>这些小妹妹这些:zhe xie xiao mei mei zhe xie</mandarin> beaunite hor <mandarin>他们就是要:ta men jiu shi yao</mandarin> like <mandarin>他们要:ta men yao</mandarin> come up with <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> own group mah <mandarin>因为他们看到:yin wei ta men kan dao</mandarin> BTS I also want to be like that, something like me also lah but then like


I'm less cringey, but, like mock ah although they were not trying to ya so <mandarin>他们就觉得:ta men jiu jue de</mandarin> !aiyo!


and then like, I think, they weren't even like they didn't even properly research what a group is like before like they decided like (oo) like, come up with a debut video ah but


(mmhmm), what makes K pop a dream like, uh, really


, (uh huh)


(mmhmm)


okay I think for K pop right it's, I think in, I think mainly people want to go for it is because people


want to like, let's say you really want to like perform in a group or like in a band, and then like because, like in america they're not very known for like, singing, I mean like not not known for like dancing together as a group or singing together as a group


performing together a group lah, but cause K pop in general is mainly like that, so like that is the only platform where people can like, go there and then, , just, and then like perform ah as a group ah then I think another point


ya but they don't see they don't dance, so like some of these people who can dance and they can sing, they don't want to just only do one, so K pop might be a platform for them to do both


ya and then, what else what K pop is about, ah


(mmhmm), (ppc), , so do you think that K pop idols they are truly interested in singing and dancing


okay maybe not, but then maybe cause there's, the the K pop culture is different from the west pop culture, from the normal english pop cause, how is it like, let's just say like okay maybe


(mmhmm), in chinese also have


strong lah so the fandom is very strong and stuff


[orh] ya


a dream ah, , I think it's like a filler, for like teenagers going through a certain phase and then they are exposed to K pop lor


ya lah but there are still some who fail lah like me lah, but I kind of <mandarin>死心:si xin</mandarin> already ya so


ya cause I want to be more of dance now I don't want to sing


I mean like ya I I I what do you mean I like, I give up already what, ya lah don't want lah,


I think I want to be a well renown dance choreographer in the US, then like that can also help, no lah like like just start up in singapore then slowly like more US people know then maybe like, occasionally fly over hold classes there


ya lah, well that's that's on long future, engineer


I want to build bridges, engineer <mandarin>有钱的:you qian de</mandarin> meh, but <mandarin>有钱:you qian</mandarin> mah in the future


so you just help people engineer stuff


but you must be, ya you must be responsible and reliable lah, ya lah okay lah


(mmhmm), oh


then you must start your own company eh, must start own, ah ya,
