I don't like old drama okay but like, the camera quality all that is very <mandarin>明显:ming xian</mandarin> no it's not like, it's very <mandarin>明显:ming xian</mandarin> you compare you compare the, what's the show ah the girlfriend is different is different I watch one episode


actually ya it make the <mandarin>叶非墨他皮肤很白太白:ye fei mo ta pi fu hen bai tai bai</mandarin> Liao, I guess but very white his skin is very white and you know the, the


oh you know the the voice right like the voice, the the show, ah is fake one is not their actual voice, for the girlfriend you don't know it's not their actual voice, it's not their actual voice I think is someone voice over


cause <mandarin>我看到在:wo kan dao zai</mandarin> Youtube <mandarin>有个视频:you ge shi pin</mandarin> right is like the bloopers


I don't know but lawrence Wong right is <mandarin>最明显的:zui ming xian de</mandarin> different cause lawrence Wong <mandarin>没有中国:mei you zhong guo</mandarin> accent what his is singaporean accent


no you just talk normally <mandarin>你你:ni ni</mandarin> just <mandarin>讲话:jiang hua</mandarin> is <mandarin>讲正常的:jiang zheng chang de</mandarin> just normal then like someone will dub like someone will voice over ya it is what it is your acting what it's just that your voice is different only


!huh! <mandarin>不是好听不好听:bu shi hao ting bu hao ting</mandarin> it's I don't know why they also want to do that but I know lawrence Wong is very very very obvious difference cause <mandarin>他口音:ta kou yin</mandarin> is singaporean accent what


no because that one is behind the scenes means is they are actually filming the actual thing already but <mandarin>温小暖:wen xiao nuan</mandarin> voice is, deeper in real life but then on the show is very high pitch if you put side by side right they are legit saying the same things the same exact script


is different, what's that


really


he looks late twenties like <mandarin>二十八那种:er shi ba na zhong</mandarin> eh <mandarin>很热:hen re</mandarin> leh


I think he went to another school to teach already I don't know lah, but err I hate red cross it was the worst CCA ever because, because of people like sarah and bevan


then you know <mandarin>吃完在:chi wan zai</mandarin> canteen <mandarin>我们吃完:wo men chi wan</mandarin> Liao right, then <mandarin>他叫我帮他:ta jiao wo bang ta</mandarin> return <mandarin>他的碗:ta de wan</mandarin> leh <mandarin>哪里他叫我帮他买水:na li ta jiao wo bang ta mai shui</mandarin> leh <mandarin>我是你女佣:wo shi ni nv yong</mandarin> meh obviously not, actually she's she's quite toxic because


err I think she's jealous of me ya, err ya carine at least carine that one is not as bad because <mandarin>他直接跟我讲他很坦白地跟我讲为什么他:ta zhi jie gen wo jiang ta hen tan bai di gen wo jiang wei shen me ta</mandarin> drift away from me is cause she feels inferior but sarah is just like


she cannot stand it <mandarin>她受不了:ta shou bu liao</mandarin> then she just wants to do all the things behind my back, then like want to <mandarin>利用我:li yong wo</mandarin> to make me feel bad about myself but to be honest I'm better than you and you met a better person right here


who I can't see where but I think now sarah in JC right <mandarin>他有很多朋友:ta you hen duo peng you</mandarin> leh okay not <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> lah but, she always post the same one girl but I don't think they will be close not adele adele is not even her


is adele in her school you wanted to be friends with her !huh!, why, since when were you ever same class as her I forget how adele look like eh


I really don't remember how she look like she pretty meh people like tammy then pretty what !aiyo!, oh now I remember how she looks like already


but I I feel like I don't know where is adele now leh is she in poly or JC, #xuan ru# what school sia [orh] anderson Serangoon [orh] anderson Serangoon ya ya ya


erica was from that school also what, she transfer to poly she transfer to Temasek poly, ya, there venus boyfriend venus boyfriend at first is JC one he drop out of JC then he come poly ya sia I think if I go JC I will also like halfway transfer to poly


I heard I heard that the venus boyfriend transfer to poly cause of venus, somemore same course leh


then like you will probably regret your decision like <mandarin>做什么我为了一个女孩子:zuo shen me wo wei le yi ge nv hai zi</mandarin> destroy my future cause JC easier to go uni right ya lah exactly but he go NS first lah


and , did I tell you this before that time, that time ah I think got this guy in venus class is interested in her, in year one in year one, then after that err he sat beside venus in class you know our classroom the table is like <mandarin>五个人坐:wu ge ren zuo</mandarin> right then after that he sat beside her then after that the boyfriend not happy leh


ya then after that , no, it's just sitting beside it's not like he is doing shit to me it's just legit <mandarin>坐在我旁边连讲话都没有讲话:zuo zai wo pang bian lian jiang hua dou mei you jiang hua</mandarin> it's just <mandarin>坐在我旁边罢了:zuo zai wo pang bian ba le</mandarin> then err the boyfriend not happy then <mandarin>他来:ta lai</mandarin> eh <mandarin>他来:ta lai</mandarin> SP


ya ya eh he was he that time he haven't come poly yet like he was still in JC he haven't transfer yet then <mandarin>他为了那个男孩子:ta wei le na ge nan hai zi</mandarin> then <mandarin>他来我们的学校:ta lai wo men de xue xiao</mandarin> to talk to that guy, then after that I heard from, was it #jun jie# I think #jun jie#


the, the boyfriend was like holding the guy's hand say bro don't like that don't like that <mandarin>他什么都没有做:ta shen me dou mei you zuo</mandarin> don't like what, ya then then then like, okay but he is interested but then he he didn't do anything to her oh <mandarin>人家可以控制他们的:ren jia ke yi kong zhi ta men de</mandarin> feelings meh obviously not right <mandarin>你喜欢就喜欢:ni xi huan jiu xi huan</mandarin> lah <mandarin>他有男朋友:ta you nan peng you</mandarin> Liao


what what that time the don't know who say to me one right the bryson <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> friend or something that one derrick hear right he was like LOL he wanna try


, err you you can no even though there's a goal keeper you can still score I don't know lah but like


it's just like the guy didn't even do anything to her it's just legit just sit beside cause I think they are in the same like, group for the module so obviously if you're in the same group you have to sit in the same table right then <mandarin>刚好他坐在:gang hao ta zuo zai</mandarin> venus <mandarin>的旁边:de pang bian</mandarin> then the boyfriend <mandarin>就不爽:jiu bu shuang</mandarin> Liao


maybe maybe he insecure insecure to the point where he cannot stand it stand being in different school with his girlfriend cause he don't know what's going on in his girlfriend's school it's a toxic relationship bro then venus got tell me before the boyfriend don't allow her to wear cropped top


ya now boyfriend don't let, err I don't know I mean I'm not gonna comment on <mandarin>别人的身材:bie ren de shen cai</mandarin> but but like the boyfriend don't allow her to wear cropped top the boyfriend don't allow her to be in a mixed gender clique


means her clique must only have girls <mandarin>不可以有男孩子:bu ke yi you nan hai zi</mandarin> leh ya bro is like dot dot dot and it's not like she's gonna be the only girl in the clique, right there's so many other girls in the clique


and like the heck you should trust your girlfriend bro unless she did something to break your trust then I will understand but I don't think she did, and remember that time I tell you that time we go cliff house to make the prototype right for our project


then <mandarin>他他在:ta ta zai</mandarin> cliff <mandarin>家楼下等六个小时:jia lou xia deng liu ge xiao shi</mandarin> I told you this before right six hours leh, six hours leh, please even I won't do this kind of thing


!huh! for six hours, ask him come up lah then he come up it was ending already, it was towards the end like he wait six hours already then after six hours cliff ask him to come up then he came up


ya I don't have a good impression of her boyfriend and I don't think I will have, my impression of him will probably not change because he's obsessive he is worse than #yong sheng# leh


trust your girlfriend lah serious, like <mandarin>做什么你要这样子:zuo shen me ni yao zhe yang zi</mandarin> leh it's not like <mandarin>她背叛你还是什么:ta bei pan ni hai shi shen me</mandarin> and it's not like <mandarin>她是唯一一个女孩子有我:ta shi wei yi yi ge nv hai zi you wo</mandarin> what <mandarin>我不是女孩子:wo bu shi nv hai zi</mandarin> ah <mandarin>我是:wo shi</mandarin> what then <mandarin>做什么:zuo shen me</mandarin> it's not like she's the only girl what


very cringe leh to be honest and what you transfer schools just cause of your girlfriend eh you know how much more expensive poly education is compared to JC so you're asking your parents to pay for your education just cause you can be in the same school as your girlfriend


poly education <mandarin>几千块:ji qian kuai</mandarin> for three years, JC is


but we will die okay but do you know how stressed our JC friends are now, okay but like but like basically the boyfriend is asking his parents to pay


thousands of dollars just cause he can be in the same, school as it's not same class leh he's like one level lower eh <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> year one <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> year two Liao leh ya he transfer what he need to start from the beginning


so he is in year one he learning all the accounting ah marketing all that now


serious leh, and he's very sensitive, he's very sensitive


then you know that day that day I go out with venus right then after that I was taking photo for her then the boyfriend notification come, eh you know he had to spam call her to ask where are you she's with me lah obviously he knows me he see me in real life before what that day at cliff house


he follows my Instagram somemore, oh my god he is obsessive to the point where he has to follow all her friend's Instagram ya he follow me derrick cliff #pei rong# leh, like right after the the meeting at cliff's house he go and follow all of us


it's like okay I will just accept cause I don't want things to be like awkward so I just accept lah, then like okay then that day I go out with her then, he go and spam call her, ask where are you who are you with


she got tell me lah she feel very restricted, she did, that time that time err she had a talk with her boyfriend <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> err <mandarin>为什么我不可以在一个:wei shen me wo bu ke yi zai yi ge</mandarin> mix gender clique it's just a clique


like, a group of five <mandarin>有两个男的有三个女的不可以:you liang ge nan de you san ge nv de bu ke yi</mandarin> meh, then she go and talk to her boyfriend like talk on IC lah then her boyfriend was like no, then her boyfriend was like my final answer is still no


this is just toxic sia to be honest ya lah it's like, she has her own rights to make friends with whoever she wants to what right


it's very cringe


I feel like #yong sheng# will be this kind of person, #yong sheng# is not as bad


no the <mandarin>很瘦的在:hen shou de zai</mandarin> err lester clique that <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> ya ya then after that in sec two right I was talking to him about some history shit


like was it a project I don't know I was talking to him about some history shit then <mandarin>他不爽我:ta bu shuang wo</mandarin> leh ya <mandarin>这样就不爽:zhe yang jiu bu shuang</mandarin> leh, I don't know then after that I was just like ya I can't I can't deal with his guy just break up because


he didn't dump me for his ex is cause he use me as a rebound in the end he he still cannot get over valerie


okay so after poly do you plan to go uni


but then <mandarin>你要去什么:ni yao qu shen me</mandarin> uni, singapore I I don't know leh I mean I think it use to be top three but I think now is like drop


kind of drop I don't know I don't know, but like, but why you want go NUS why you don't want NTU, ya no leh #ngee ann# is the best though #ngee ann# actually ya NTU is also quite far


but like <mandarin>如果你进:ru guo ni jin</mandarin> uni will you stay in their dorm their hall they call it hall lah I think, but like, you stay so far away from the uni like NUS I think is at like clementi area or something but is further leh


, cause like


ya, you know each hall right they have their own hall culture, like you remember that time I got tell you is like you know , usually


usually is like the first year your freshman year then you must take part in your hall activities then you must like earn points in order to like guarantee your stay in the hall for the next year sia


ex as in the cost


then I think <mandarin>我看那个:wo kan na ge</mandarin> Youtube video they say is about thirty cents an hour, of using the aircon then like


then then on top of that <mandarin>你要还你:ni yao hai ni</mandarin> aircon <mandarin>费:fei</mandarin> then ten time thirty <mandarin>三百:san bai</mandarin> leh then


oh <mandarin>那个我不知道:na ge wo bu zhi dao</mandarin> but like majority <mandarin>是没有:shi mei you</mandarin> then <mandarin>你要去外面的厕所:ni yao qu wai mian de ce suo</mandarin> shared with everybody on that same level I don't know lah but you stay very far away oh there's another thing they have like this thing called distance points


like basically the further you stay away from the school, then the higher points you the higher distance points you have like for example NTU <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> jurong west then for example <mandarin>我住在:wo zhu zai</mandarin> #pasir ris# then Jurong west to #pasir ris# is <mandarin>很远:hen yuan</mandarin> what


then after that I will have higher distance points lor cause I stay very far away what, ya Sengkang Sengkang Punggol is also considered very far, why not


a house but isn't that more unsafe like you are staying with someone you don't know, Jurong, to be honest if I go uni right I will want to stay in the hall


the room no they call they call they call the whole block like something like HDB like that they call the whole block hall, yeah it's called hall of residence actually


, but I just don't know if, I stay alone I'll be scared one especially <mandarin>七月那种:qi yue na zhong</mandarin> the <mandarin>半夜有鬼:ban ye you gui</mandarin> then <mandarin>我会怕的:wo hui pa de</mandarin> I will be scared one, I will rather have a roommate


NTU <mandarin>可以选:ke yi xuan</mandarin> roommate <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> mah, you can <mandarin>选:xuan</mandarin> as in like


you sure not that's what you think now, maybe at first I I also like !huh! I think I will be homesick leh


you can go back during weekend what, what army I mean it's your choice whether you want to stay there or not like you can stay there for one day and then you can go back for for four days but is a waste your money ya oh another thing is like <mandarin>你房间你可以放冰箱:ni fang jian ni ke yi fang bing xiang</mandarin> those mini fridge like you can bring from your home like for example you know claire house she got that mini fridge what she can bring but then you must pay extra eighty dollars per month or something


for the electricity


party, then, alcohol <mandarin>很贵的:hen gui de</mandarin> what then somemore you need to spend money on the alcohol


I'm legal , I'm legal that's true, but, so if you want to go uni you will go NUS lah


what if your GPA cannot, SMU SMU ah, <mandarin>有有:you you</mandarin> NTU NUS SMU what


technology leh technology leh <mandarin>我想去:wo xiang qu</mandarin> but NTU <mandarin>也是有:ye shi you</mandarin> business course SMU that time err you know the


NUS <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> NTU hor


three point nine seven leh <mandarin>我是不可能:wo shi bu ke neng</mandarin> graduate with three point nine seven but then <mandarin>他讲:ta jiang</mandarin> SMU <mandarin>三点五就可以:san dian wu jiu ke yi</mandarin> mine also mine also four sem only ah oh my god three sem no lah no lah oh ya oh my god then left left two point two three point one three point two but like three point one three point two is cause <mandarin>我们是:wo men shi</mandarin> entrepreneurship students what then


the I think year three we fully focus on the business sia but I know, year three got this module called business law, complain like <mandarin>他一直:ta yi zhi</mandarin> message <mandarin>我他讲:wo ta jiang</mandarin> business law <mandarin>真的不可以:zhen de bu ke yi</mandarin> cannot make it cannot make it is like <mandarin>你懂:ni dong</mandarin> I I think lah I think lah but I don't know I don't really know what is it about it's like <mandarin>你懂:ni dong</mandarin>


financial management <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> econs, but <mandarin>他们有:ta men you</mandarin> there's like this one small section about like the what ethical guidelines lah, I think is fully on that like like don't know, err what


I think is mostly memorisation like <mandarin>这样多:zhe yang duo</mandarin> memorise <mandarin>我怎么样:wo zen me yang</mandarin> memorise sia, then joseph keep saying, is he cannot make it, and another one I think that time xavier he got post on Instagram our


err CSCC one he got post on his story say, everything that he memorise right didn't come out about but everything that he didn't memorise come out then I very scared that will be me cause


ya lor <mandarin>谁叫你每天:shei jiao ni mei tian</mandarin> last minute <mandarin>每个:mei ge</mandarin> exam <mandarin>都:dou</mandarin> last minute then then after the exam you'll be like err <mandarin>我以后不要:wo yi hou bu yao</mandarin> last minute Liao <mandarin>我以后我以后会早早开始读书:wo yi hou wo yi hou hui zao zao kai shi du shu</mandarin> then end up !wah! sia the day before FM ha two days before ah makes a difference but then you found the paper okay right


you know the the, err what's the question ah, you got any question that you don't know one, the definition one ah !huh! !huh! if you don't know you at least write something that kind of like


oh I finish in one hour leh she also take FM oh ya she transfer to DBA right oh my god I just realise she what class ah, !huh! that's nicole andmaggieclass leh


oh my god, O two is #wan qing# class !huh! she don't like #wan qing# also ah as, I'm sorry but I prefer #wan qing# actually me and #wan qing# are kind of friends but xue ting and I don't even talk


#wan qing# <mandarin>比较好:bi jiao hao</mandarin> I also, means she's in the same class as nicole and maggie oh my god anshia is in their class just saying so nicole and maggie are are in the same class as anshia okay that timemaggiepost a a Instagram photo then anshia go and comment


but maggie is three years older than him that's disgusting, err maggie is like <mandarin>那种大姐姐:na zhong da jie jie</mandarin> kind of person leh like she


like <mandarin>真的很会照顾人:zhen de hen hui zhao gu ren</mandarin> like, err she's like the mum of our clique ya she's our mother, obviously <mandarin>你这样小只:ni zhe yang xiao zhi</mandarin> I thought you like you like it when guys tease you only yes !aiya! I know you well lah


because you don't like me obviously I don't like you what since when since when people say they don't like you then you like the person eh I don't like you !huh! but I like you leh


got this kind of thing one meh, I think she's just tired like I think she very easily stress lah is it her FM not good


you carry ah !wah! ninety six leh <mandarin>有可能:you ke neng</mandarin> meh ya sia what the heck is this luck


Sekali <mandarin>是六十九不是九十六:shi liu shi jiu bu shi jiu shi liu</mandarin> but !aiya! if your teacher give ninety six you just quiet never mind just take the free ninety six then I think


if your paper don't do as well right but then I think your overall grade will still be good cause you got ninety six leh, the oh yeah FM the, the, the EST percentage is forty sia that's almost half leh


where got like that then SCI leh how many percent, no I think that one SCI I think I will both fail cannot fail lah will do badly cause I pass can already leh I don't remod can already say serious I want to get A for FM not SCI SCI my my teacher right


then


I don't dare, oh my god indirecting at you ah !huh! oh my god


, you know that time cause like you know as SAI CA one is like pair work right then derrick <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> #jun jie# <mandarin>同组:tong zu</mandarin> mah, ya augustine then after that err cause #jun jie# got very bad for his CA one I think he got fifty plus like <mandarin>刚刚:gang gang</mandarin> pass then after that err


cause augustine, he at the end of the lesson come and find each pair to, to give feedback ya then after that, err it was derrick's group turn, then after that #jun jie# was like


like that you give me he was like why you give me this mark then after that he explained why that after that #jun jie# was like but you told me to do this then he a bit like <mandarin>慌张:huang zhang</mandarin> right he a bit flustered, like like oh shit I told him to do that and I gave him this mark after that he tried so hard to cover up


his reasoning for giving such a bad mark to #jun jie#, then #jun jie# was pissed


then why derrick get twenty mark higher than me what what's the difference derrick got seventy eight, yeah derrick got seventy eight then after that #jun jie# got fifty something then after like he was like why you give derrick twenty mark higher than me


right then after that err #jun jie# was like, err derrick derrick <mandarin>会:hui</mandarin> present <mandarin>他讲话很好:ta jiang hua hen hao</mandarin> lor


his presentation always get A one, what's that suppose to mean sia is your presentation good or is your writing better better than written I also sia


I also eh, but I hate presenting in front of the whole class I'm only okay presenting just to the teacher alone, ya because I feel like our our last year class is not judgmental


but <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> this year class !wah! really I feel like I really cannot, like I can never, yeah <mandarin>好好跟我的新的:hao hao gen wo de xin de</mandarin> classmates <mandarin>相处:xiang chu</mandarin> cause got a lot of judgemental people


and like cause I'm friends with that girl then I very scared they they like , how to say, is like sometimes when you don't like someone and then that girl is friends with someone else then you will also don't like the person


I shouldn't be scared I don't know but I think, gone, #jun jie#, and his best friend is, that kind of person


that's true ya poly culture is quite toxic actually, no lah <mandarin>哪里会:na li hui</mandarin> <mandarin>哪里会这样子:na li hui zhe yang zi</mandarin> I think uni <mandarin>比较成熟:bi jiao cheng shu</mandarin> Liao poly <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> like

oh my god I can slap her boyfriend leh slap slap ah <mandarin>醒:xing</mandarin> lah <mandarin>快点醒过来:kuai dian xing guo lai</mandarin> ya, !aiya!


I mean isn't #yong sheng# that kind of person, ya I mean last time you did say that he was obsessive and stuff


who is Wee, fat one ah, [orh] <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>那个高高的那个:na ge gao gao de na ge</mandarin> (mmhmm)


#yong sheng# ah he want <mandarin>不爽:bu shuang</mandarin> <P2>ryan wee</P2> lah <mandarin>不爽:bu shuang</mandarin> you for what, break up bye but you got together with him again


but he dump you for his ex isn't it the same thing


eh you know my friend ah the other day right he went to, you know <mandarin>当兵:dang bing</mandarin> lah, then right he, cause he not very healthy so he's in PES C


so apparently the life there very easy now leh, PES C lah, so apparently right


barely did any exercise <mandarin>没有运动:mei you yun dong</mandarin> lah for like, the first week ah, then after that right he


during lunch and all the meals and all that they still give him ice cream leh so I think the life there is is better than people say it is lah, at least now it is lah


ya that's why, he, err he seems happier in camp, then when he's out, walking the streets as a free man


oh yeah that's true ah, eh


they have to don know have to shave hair or not, have to <mandarin>剃头:ti tou</mandarin> or not, I I'm not sure that's why I'm asking you


then what do they do to <mandarin>代替:dai ti</mandarin> that that you know, that process


oh okay I I think I get what you mean lah, but I don't know lah how okay but back to like the actual topic lah you know like NS being easier lah you got send any friends into PES C or not


like


yeah lah I think I get what you mean lah I just feel the you know all the <mandarin>男子汉:nan zi han</mandarin> that kind of thing right, but then like, I don't know how come how come they in PES C


[orh] so they not like they are not the real PES C PES C lah cause my my friend ah he, he's in the really PES because he has depression like quite severe depression


but not severe enough to go to, the, you know do the paperwork and all that kind of stuff lah so he, goes in and he still has like normal foot drills you know, like the normal <mandarin>当兵:dang bing</mandarin> kind of of stuff lah you know so he still has like half the


experience, but the thing is ah he his camp is at err kranji, and then over there right, apparently because there's some like you know #dai sai# people lah so the food there and the welfare there is all very you know


very Shiok lor, ya lah that's why but the thing is like, I don't I feel that it does affect like, you know


there's there's some of you know like err what you call that ah, some consequence to having life that easy when you you know, when you <mandarin>当兵:dang bing</mandarin> lah, cause like, when you go when you enlist right then you know most of people go through the whole hardship all the you know


err <mandarin>吃苦:chi ku</mandarin> and all that kind of stuff right then when they come out they seem to be tougher lah so I think he might you know miss out on this kind of thing


(mmhmm)


ya lah that's why lah but the thing is that like so far


they had it abit too you know <mandarin>容易:rong yi</mandarin> already you see like so far from the time they enlist ah enlist ah until now ah two weeks ah <mandarin>两个星期了:liang ge xing qi le</mandarin> ah, they haven't done a single push up yet leh not even you know they haven't knock it down once leh


have lah but the thing is only for PT and their their, their standard ah is as long as you you know try your best ah then you <mandarin>及格:ji ge</mandarin> already that kind of thing is like you know, it is that kind of everybody wins kind of you know


situation lah, so


I mean yes lah but the because the thing is that when there's no competition then there's no reason to really strive because there's, you know different kinds of you know the <mandarin>比赛:bi sai</mandarin> kind of mentality mah right so like you can


you know compete with people you know <mandarin>跟人家比:gen ren jia bi</mandarin> right but you don't have to be very toxic about it you know, like some people they really, very <mandarin>贱:jian</mandarin> with the way they, you know treat their competitors and all that


but like you don't really have to be like okay, like okay ah in in a sense this is a pretty good example of that, cause like, even though they are soft and all that, there's barely any competition but when there is because they have like sports and games and all that right very


very rare ah you know once in a blue moon that kind of stuff right but when they do is, cause they are generally quite weak ah, okay the err what you call that the competition ah isn't set by, the isn't encouraged by the sergeants and all that kind of stuff


it's you know when you put a group of people together right, and then because it's not as toxic there right, it it is like you know a better better place lah but at the same time


they don't you know what you call that they don't excel you know they don't <mandarin>进步:jin bu</mandarin> as much as if let's say the competition was cut throat lah, like you get what I mean right


like basically, if there is like okay there's pros and cons to like toxic, like what you call that ah like the toxic, no not masculinity like you know toxic


competition I guess ya the toxic competition lah, ya no okay so what I'm, saying right, is like, to to sum it all up right is basically


you need to be moderate I don't think they're moderate with it now so you see ah on one end right you have the really really you know, relax that kind lah you know no competition <mandarin>每个人都会:mei ge ren dou hui</mandarin> you know <mandarin>拿:na</mandarin> that kind of err medal and stuff like that but you also have the other one where only the top survive the rest are treated like shit


so I think they are, quite far down, to the you know to the first extreme lah, but it'll be good to have abit to stay moderate lor you know have some, middle ground lah


I'm just saying that you know they they treat the, the new new blood abit too soft, you know like, it it plays into the, previous you know point lah where you know


the PES C people are not PES C lah PES E and C all these type of people they just sit down there and then you know, very very <mandarin>软:ruan</mandarin> you know that kind of very soft so I think like, since they are still, like err <mandarin>可以做:ke yi zuo</mandarin> that kind of active duty that kind of stuff right


they should at least have a higher, standard


I'm okay lah I can I can <mandarin>明白:ming bai</mandarin> where you where you are coming from lah, but the thing is right, the <mandarin>情况:qing kuang</mandarin> is quite different from


like from what I know lah this is this is like, based on, you know, what I hear from, my my friend himself lah so basically right, they even they think that they're being too


being they they're too lax already you know, so like, okay example right will be like my friend, he, took like three naps in one day, and and all of them are basically wasting away


they're asking their their sergeant for more things to do but, they just say oh, err, cannot lor <mandarin>不可以:bu ke yi</mandarin> lor you know that kind of stuff, so, if if if even they think that it's too little I think, they should up it up lah just you know <mandarin>一点点:yi dian dian</mandarin> lah you know


yeah, so apparently he


he contacted me lor then he, he asked if I was if if I you know <mandarin>我有空:wo you kong</mandarin> to go down and, basically just err, exchange knowledge lah, because no he does classical


so, I you know I think we both feel that it is quite a, good platform you know good opportunity to, sort of have a


an an exchange lah of ideas in that way lor, so, I'm still waiting on him I guess but yeah I think I think it is going quite, going quite well lor, for this


uh, actually <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> he is you know <mandarin>从新加坡:cong xin jia po</mandarin> lah <mandarin>新加坡人:xin jia po ren</mandarin> lah but he went over to sweden, eh sorry eh err finland sorry ya finland went over to finland for


to to go and study err you know the classical <mandarin>音乐:yin yue</mandarin> that kind of stuff lah in in a real good college and that kind of stuff but the thing is that, he now now because of the whole COVID and all that so he had to


and err I think that's the plan now it should I guess it should be okay given the current, COVID


I think ya lah can can say that lah <mandarin>可以这样说:ke yi zhe yang shuo</mandarin> lor


I ya recently because we were talking mostly about, my body posture and all that then he said he could


you know, tips lah and like that kind of stuff, so I, recently he came across the topic of err yoga, and how it can err <mandarin>补:bu</mandarin> my current skillset lor you know, so


I think that's what we're gonna do, I guess sorry I I lost track because my brain isn't working that well


so like apparently right, the way your your body suppose to <mandarin>自然:zi ran</mandarin> kind of the natural movement lah that kind of stuff so if you put that you know <mandarin>放进:fang jin</mandarin> when you <mandarin>弹琴的时候:tan qin de shi hou</mandarin> right it's supposed to actually help you


play more naturally and and smoother abit lah you know with your movements cause it's the study of how the human body is the most efficient lor


I think so too lah but the thing is that I I I think if we are exchanging knowledge and this kind of thing, doesn't have to just stay with like, you know err


just playing the music lah I think, it can be many forms maybe abstract concepts or this kind of thing, anything as long as there's exchange of ideas even more so if it's


across the you know <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> platform lor


I think now, I I guess lah <mandarin>还好:hai hao</mandarin> lor because you know, personally, I think you know musicians artists you know that kind of thing they will always <mandarin>想:xiang</mandarin> you know


I am not good enough you know <mandarin>我还没有:wo hai mei you</mandarin> reach <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> standard you know that kind of stuff right, but I think you know if you, you know, ruminate <mandarin>一下:yi xia</mandarin> I I think once you come to terms with that then your like like I'm doing now lah then you know my practice is


enjoyable lor you know at least get the the fun is back in, in playing the instrument ah


yeah


and then because, I used to do <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> concert band you know that kind of stuff with all the <mandarin>学校:xue xiao</mandarin> and all that mah, so now since then, uh, I moved off into jazz already, so the thing is that it's quite


I won't say is err, but there's a, it's a very personal thing in a way that you have to you know <mandarin>自己:zi ji</mandarin> hone <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> craft until <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> reach a certain standard then <mandarin>你可以出去:ni ke yi chu qu</mandarin> and


where I could, with, the me playing music lor I guess ya


I mean ya lah of course lah you know yeah yeah


but the thing is that the given the current situation ah, possibility that you know, like for me I would say


you know like, honestly lah that the people around me ah <mandarin>我的朋友:wo de peng you</mandarin> and you know those in my <mandarin>小的:xiao de</mandarin> friend group that's in band all these right, actually they are not as motivated, you know they don't have the


the passion lah for for for music, so I think this type of thing can also, you you you you get what you mean right


as much as, COVID allows lor you know there's a there's a max you know max <mandarin>五个人:wu ge ren</mandarin> that kind of thing then have to <mandarin>穿:chuan</mandarin> the <mandarin>口口罩:kou kou zhao</mandarin> and all that so as


as much as that I guess I try to meet them lor, but the thing is that most of my band friends, and and groups is is quite big lah so at least at least way more than five people so now I think you break up it feels a bit


because you know <mandarin>你你会:ni ni hui</mandarin> leave a few people out, so I think I don't I don't really meet a lot of them as before COVID when I first left, the concert band kind of, scene ah


err, depends because like


so concert band


about let's say I I guess thirty you know about thirty thirty two like that, but for jazz bands


err, ah <mandarin>两个三个人:liang ge san ge ren</mandarin> lor, because like, for jazz ah is very


you know to keep, within the same direction


(uh huh), err double bass we have cello not very common ah


but then the main the main one ah you know the <mandarin>大几个:da ji ge</mandarin> is err, drums, then <mandarin>还有那个:hai you na ge</mandarin> base, then err piano


the main ones lah, the rest, there's also like your <mandarin>喇叭:la ba</mandarin> lor the trumpet and trombone you know these type of things, but, it depends lor because different bands will have different kind of, combo ah you get what I mean they'll they'll add different kind of configurations lor


ya because the thing is that the, the material ah that they play the <mandarin>那个那个:na ge na ge</mandarin> music ah <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> is is more <mandarin>复杂:fu za</mandarin> lah


so when you have something that is so complicated to keep it smaller in numbers


they tried to make it,


I ya lah, I actually <mandarin>听说你也有做:ting shuo ni ye you zuo</mandarin> music mah


, ya lah but the thing is that hopefully, it's not hopefully lah if we follow all the measures and all that, and nothing else happens I guess you know I guess it will return back to


as much you know as as normal as it can be lah you know, cause after this whole virus and all that <mandarin>平常:ping chang</mandarin> will no longer really be <mandarin>平常:ping chang</mandarin> already lah, you know so I mean do you do you think what you think will like what you think will be so called


the new normal after all these happens


I don't know I I think is a bit


certain aspects, already, you know, entrenched himself eh eh itself into like, the you know


know hard to hard to breathe and then the mask quite <mandarin>厚:hou</mandarin> you know got the clothe and all that but now like for me lah you know, if let's say I don't wear my mask right and I'm outside like you know I feel a bit naked lah have that kind of <mandarin>感觉:gan jue</mandarin> where you know you you feel <mandarin>那个空气:na ge kong qi</mandarin> blow pass you know like oh okay


you know you know that feeling


yeah I I think everyone wishes that also lah, but I mean I guess I okay I'm not saying that there are good things about it


but, it did help us realize a lot of things like for example like you see all those you know err <mandarin>酒店:jiu dian</mandarin> ah all those all those hotels and all that can see that actually their, standard for for hygiene ah not not very <mandarin>高:gao</mandarin> you know you can see it's quite it's quite bad lah you know where they barely clean the place you know


you know err <mandarin>两个三个星期一次:liang ge san ge xing qi yi ci</mandarin> you know that kind of thing so at least we got to uncover that you know


ya lah <mandarin>可以这样说:ke yi zhe yang shuo</mandarin> lah you know like basically now or not now but I guess after this whole thing blows over because this one will know <mandarin>让你害怕一下:rang ni hai pa yi xia</mandarin> you know so your so everyone standard for for everything is higher so I think


quality of life will increase lah I guess you know because everyone still hesitant to, to be complacent about you know their hygiene standards lah, so I I I hope that will lead to you know, a bit lofty lah you know like <mandarin>好好想:hao hao xiang</mandarin> that kind of thing lah but I think it's


it should probably live uh you know like lead to better health like general, better health of the populace and like hopefully, you know uh, longer last you know a longer lifespan lah you know generally


err I think is those in quarantine lah cause the patients are set up in the hospitals and those err special wards and all that that they built just for this I guess


why but speaking of like <mandarin>酒店:jiu dian</mandarin> and and all that lah, once this goes over like once the whole thing <mandarin>过了:guo le</mandarin> you get what I mean like the virus all sort of die down right, where you all where do you think you want to go for holiday like your first first destination for your <mandarin>旅行:lv xing</mandarin> lah that kind of thing


I think the same thing lah err but because like, I I I think you go a step further on the, on the you know the love the love for <mandarin>便宜:pian yi</mandarin> things right because I go to malaysia you don't even have to take like a plane or boat there I just drive in you know


and then some more if you drive in the petrol is also cheaper so you come back with a full tank like you can't go there with, anything less than you know err, three quarter tank lah but once you go there and you drive around have a holiday over there you can top up one full tank before coming back


so I think you know that that is even better, you know


they don't really, like singapore cars ah cause, like okay lah is is cheap and all that and generally is quite a good experience lah to go there for <mandarin>旅行:lv xing</mandarin> and all that but the thing is that you know you go there for the holiday and especially you drive in


err a singaporean car cause that time I I rented a car with my friend to drive in, oh I tell you they <mandarin>他们会欺负你的:ta men hui qi fu ni de</mandarin> because I was drive like ya lah you you kill two hours on the causeway and all that, so there was this one guy you know


tail not not tailing lah but like you know


then, you know, signal <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> to get out of the car, then obviously, then <mandarin>他看了看了:ta kan le kan le</mandarin> then


at that time I also remember that you know malaysia still has I think still have guns ah is illegal lah but I think they still do have like guns in the country I I guess I'm not sure


no lah because the thing is that we went at quite a bad time so it was pretty crowded so the guy actually almost bang another car almost <mandarin>撞到:zhuang dao</mandarin> another <mandarin>车:che</mandarin> then in front of us was those tour bus not in front is like diagonally across us so we got we can't go anywhere so it was only at that time it was only two lanes so we really got boxed in lor you know if you wanna say like that


so I mean I guess of okay lah we quite <mandarin>年轻:nian qing</mandarin> lah so the fear even though like oh okay lah got gun you know maybe is not, as common you know or maybe it won't happen but we still scared lah you know small boy


, ya lah ya lah now you say until <mandarin>便宜:pian yi</mandarin> and food ah, later supper what you wanna eat ah


actually I'm not sure lah because like you know everytime we go for supper you go it's the same like same five Prata places and maybe like, one #zi char# place right


so like, you know


yeah yeah yeah especially you know the the sesame one, but I think like I don't know because like every other you know every other <mandarin>煮炒:zhu chao</mandarin> place wants to say that oh okay we are the famous one you know we are the <mandarin>有名:you ming</mandarin> one but the thing is that, I don't actually know which places are the good places leh as in like by taste lah not by


you know not by them self proclaiming that oh we are famous so like I mean I guess I guess the Bedok eighty five would be one, I I I think, and like maybe east coast, but like ya any others you know like you know this type of hidden gems you know this type of thing


like the east coast park hawker center you know, I I


there's a there's a porridge stall that was quite quite good really quite good there was a queue that's like, spans half the, half the length of the place, and then there's also let me see what else they have pretty good err, beancurd you know #tau kwa#


yeah and then you know they have all this type of stuff lah just, I guess you can say like, actually no they also have I was gonna say they have like very good like chinese food but then again they also have, good like malay food it depends because like it's a hawker centre what right so like with all hawker centres you have to choose the right stall


ah okay lah eh actually ya I've I've never tried it before lah, so ya lah I think can go what but then the actually what time do they you know what time they close or not


[orh] okay I get what you mean lah so basically they're just open as long as you know it's like a while stocks last kind of thing lah


so I mean, ah shit now that you got me thinking about like late night food right, I'm thinking of like you know the you know Geylang they have like the, the


!wah! the craving is damn strong leh, yeah yeah yeah that's the one then how you want to decide flip a coin ah


that's true lah, !wah! actually ya lah you that you can't go wrong with Prata but there are you know like not all Pratas are equal lah you know you have the good the good kind of like the <mandarin>印度煎饼煎饼:yin du jian bing jian bing</mandarin> you have the the one at Bedok there you know Simpang Bedok the new #maha mulia# there they got the crispy Prata what


ya lah definitely not lah because like !wah!, see it I eat until like that I feel fat already especially you know you add all the fast food and all the weird trans fat and all that, !wah!, think I'm gonna have a kidney problem leh


okay lah can lah supper tomorrow lah, bu, I still hungry leh so I think I just go and go home and cook Maggi eh what kind of Maggi you like to eat ah


yeah like I okay lah I know I'm on the younger side lah but like I I love the fucking abalone water actually, you know like let's say you get from the can right that kind of like, like the the I guess you can call it brine lah you know the <mandarin>盐水:yan shui</mandarin> that kind of thing right when I was young right I used to just drink it like it was water leh I think that


that wasn't very good but like damn ya you are right it's it's amazing


please, no lah I did that when I was young but the thing is that that okay that's probably why now I'm I'm balding but the thing is that it's


you know I think like when we are young when we, do stupid things there's there's still like for some reason like we can survive it better than when we do it when we are not even old but like slightly more developed you you get what I mean


yeah that's true lah when I was young you know didn't want to listen you know my mum tell me oh don't err don't sleep with your hair wet or like you know drink enough water and all that you know that kind of thing don't stay out in the rain you know


but I didn't listen [lah] so now, I think mine is worse than yours when I got like the really <mandarin>老人病:lao ren bing</mandarin> you know like when, it's going to rain not even raining but going to rain right my whole body the


!huh!, since <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> NS


!wah! sounds like his life there <mandarin>很幸福:hen xing fu</mandarin> leh, he


oh !wah! okay lah the army <mandarin>包:bao</mandarin> everything then, of course like your life, actually


actually no lah even if I if, they send me go army I'll be I'll be quite upset since


females shave head ah, err no okay I think females right when you go to BMT let's say you sign, up for NS, you don't have to shave your head


but, shave <mandarin>光:guang</mandarin> you know


got I send like two friends I think you know lah err


I sent spencer and I sent #chen jun# off, to their BMT, yeah it was quite awkward, err quite Paiseh lah cause, the girlfriend there then the, the parents there


so I was like the other, so it was a bit awkward lah and then like you know there's like a sea of like, green


eh no no no no sorry when when I send them in right I send them, at like #pasir ris# so they going Tekong


so they were like the #chiong sua# you know


actually #wei jia# <mandarin>当兵蛮幸福的:dang bing man xing fu de</mandarin> leh


[orh] okay so, so when you go in then you will come out, a stronger person lah


but, I think I think you can, see it, in different perspective you know when you go in, to like err, okay like his life is a little bit easier <mandarin>比较容易:bi jiao rong yi</mandarin> right cause you know


but, I think, in a sense even though he he doesn't like exercise there he doesn't okay not, don't exercise you know but like


then you know he lose out on the like getting fit lah getting like super duper fit as compared to everybody in BMT, but you know I think like like in terms of team teamwork and stuff like that, like cooperation he gets to grow lah in a sense I mean


okay I don't have a lot of friends, who okay no I have, three categories of friends, and then PES C


they still come out like, better people I feel like, they learn how to, err not say man up but like [orh] they are more responsible you know, then like there's a PES E people where they like do paperwork then abit like Sian everyday lah like


in and out, monday to friday, eight to five that kind of thing so I feel like he's he's like, just nice in the middle, it's a good mix lah he get to, exercise abit like you know


he also gets to like relax lah which is like the ice cream


but it's not so cutthroat in that sense what you know like, like why, why like, must you, win other people if everybody wins


is, is good for everyone what there's no like competition, then then everything is pretty chill


okay I understand but then what's the whole like, point of what you just said


but there is no there is no toxic competition here


okay so if you say all of these things right, then what, do you think


they can do, what, is it you have in your head like, like after you tell me all of these right okay I can agree with you, but, what, do you think should be done like I okay, genuinely I don't understand what why you are telling me this


okay so what you are saying is because <mandarin>他们去当兵:ta men qu dang bing</mandarin> right, they should like at least be pushed a little bit more but


if you are in their shoes right, because you are PES C and you are having such a relaxing life, you feel like !wah! my life quite Shiok, but if you are, in like the PES A shoe you'll feel like !wah! why do I have to go through these then you will feel like dying every single time so to me it's like


like sure, like, they can be pushed a little bit more, but but if you are in their shoes right you like if you are in the PES A shoes you'll die and die and die just thinking of like being transferred to PES C you know


but then thing is like PES C and PES E right even though they sound like it's pretty good life right, but, even though like they work, in all these like maybe air conditioned admin stuff they get fed like


good food, it doesn't mean like they don't have their own struggles you know, so a lot of my friends right when they go PES C they end up like driving or PES E they end up doing admin so instead of dealing with physical hardships they have to deal with like


office politics so okay to me right whatever you're saying right now, you are just complaining you are just lamenting and, I'm just not a fan of that, so like yes there are pros and cons you think they should be pushed a bit more


but I feel like whatever you are seeing right is like, that's how the world works


okay, I understand where you're coming from


but I'm going to say it again, you are lamenting and I don't know why you are lamenting to me, if you wanna if you want a change in the system, sorry ah you should go and talk to the government you know not lament about it, err cause


you can tell me, but I'm female, so I feel like you know, instead of just like harping on Weijia'S situation right, I guess maybe you can focus more on yourself lah like


you know you haven't even, you haven't even like <mandarin>当兵:dang bing</mandarin> yet so don't think too much about other people situation, I guess like like, her like, cause right now like, you are doing your like saxophone stuff right


so, I guess, you should like focus a bit more on that lah rather than you know focusing on other people's stuff, ya and, and ya don't okay to me why I feel like you are lamenting is because


in, but, I would say lah, just focus on your like music stuff at the moment, speaking of which like, like, how's the situation between


you and this person that you are going to collab with, you are going to collab with samuel is it


okay so basically, but, but <mandarin>他现在回来新加坡:ta xian zai hui lai xin jia po</mandarin> is because of COVID


that's why he cannot continue studying in finland, is it that's why you all having this exchange, okay lah then, I think it's quite a good opportunity so


like


, honestly


I can't I can't see it lah but I thought you all were going for an for like a, typical music exchange you know like when when I hear exchange I, I think of two people well because it's two of you all right, two people like coming together to play rather than to <mandarin>做瑜伽:zuo yu jia</mandarin> lah uh


, !wah! but I feel like it's such a stretch to, do yoga


yeah, but !wah!, then how's your practice going like how's your saxophone practices go


actually <mandarin>你现在很有空:ni xian zai hen you kong</mandarin> hor <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> like, so, so <mandarin>现在你还:xian zai ni hai</mandarin> ruminate ah <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> like I thought you all like have regular practice [orh] but okay okay but like now now there's like the


COVID so like you all can can't practice as a group right, oh


I feel lor like, I would rather play with a group of like friends, cause <mandarin>我会想念我的朋友:wo hui xiang nian wo de peng you</mandarin> lah so, so ya when you practice with a group of friends everything feels like everything feels more motivating and then you know


it like instead of like just ruminating right like you can, you know spend more time with your friends and like you you don't go down that, pithole of like, !wah! actually


I do I do then like like because you are not, you not like actively practice with practicing with them like do you still meet them for like meals and stuff like that, supper


oh then in a band like, how many people do you all


but in a jazz band hor


not just, instruments ah is it is it, got double bass and cello


no wonder like, like I see when I go to like band concert right like, like, pop concerts ah <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> different sia, so, so like


okay I've never been to a jazz concert but I've been to like a band concert, actually when I went to a band concert right, I saw at least lah on stage like fifty five people so when you say thirty people I was like oh that's the typical size, so the the band that I saw like actually <mandarin>蛮大的:man da de</mandarin> cause


then jazz I didn't even know jazz band got different kind like I didn't know jazz band, is even smaller than a


then a concert band


!wah! actually <mandarin>你讲:ni jiang</mandarin> hor, like concert band <mandarin>有五有三十个人:you wu you san shi ge ren</mandarin> then


what jazz band <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> what <mandarin>二十个人:er shi ge ren</mandarin> !wah! then it's okay as long as you continue doing music, and practicing that's good K you have two more months before you


okay but that's like <mandarin>很久很久很久以前:hen jiu hen jiu hen jiu yi qian</mandarin> and like, I also used to I also used to teach lah for like three months !wah!


cannot lah, that one, I went in to teach like, okay I taught quite a few types of, children, so, so


I went in doing, like classes with a lot of the special needs children, it's very very very difficult to teach them, because


then then I like okay over the course of time right I just decided like !aiya! <mandarin>不要:bu yao</mandarin> lah


you go and teach primary school for me, so I went to teach primary school right !wah! it was so much easier was so so so much easier


but then like that was damn long time ago so so like that's why I ask you about like your concert band ah your jazz band because I've been out of the scene for like, super super long, so, the last time I taught was about like


ya so I didn't wanna I didn't wanna continue like, like teaching anymore okay even myself right like, I stop doing a lot of music related stuff, like okay when I say music related stuff right I mean like


doing the music like, but, when I, I still do like production work so you see all these concerts right, I will go and help out, like doing all this concerts


so when I went to watch the band concert right actually I wasn't like, part of the audience, I was like part of the backstage cause I was like doing production manager I was doing like stage manager so so I was like eh how come like this band so big


when like my, my like err my own handbell group right is like, lesser people than that, but okay lah I cannot compare like


so so I was like okay lah like this band looks quite big whereas my handbell group look quite small, but apparently like that's not the typical size lah like what you said earlier on, ya so, I'm like okay since I'm a teacher I'm glad to see like you know you still continue practising even up till now I


I have, retired like low key retired, err so I'm not too much in the band scene so you must remind me of err, all the music things you know okay lah like if you give me a score and you ask me to read


but, like a bit slower lah confirm not as fast as you, ya so, that's a little bit on my, my teaching history, that I dropped five years ago


as in like I'm studying lah I thought you I thought !wah! lame as in like okay so even though there's like COVID now right like I'm still studying so like two weeks ago I I ended my holidays what so I went back to


I went back to school already so so it doesn't seem like I'm back in school what but, but because of like all these COVID things, but I'm having like online lessons at home so


like that's that's what we, do, regularly now, which is a bummer lah cause, I like going to school I miss all my friends, yeah


what , I, I feel like right now we are in the new normal what it's like you go out and eat you, is max five people, then, if you


if you like go into shops you need to scan the QR code so, that one is <mandarin>很麻烦:hen ma fan</mandarin> actually, so got one time right, so


so like, I was just like okay I don't have to be out today, so I will just go home, then, I just like spend the rest of the day at home charging my phone and then I went out again, yeah, then !wah! but I think


the <mandarin>最麻烦:zui ma fan</mandarin> right, cause is really, very hard to breathe, so okay lah but like I know the government like give us new mask and all that right


but I think the cloth mask ah is really, it's really very hard to breathe because like when you inhale right like let's say you yawn and then you inhale, like the the mask get sucks like sucked into your mouth and then like very limited air goes through so very hard to breathe


ya so like we are in the new normal now lah just waiting for like phase three to come out, so phase three is like, err, I think, you can have, like more people not go out together but I think like like wedding okay wedding like now is happening already like


one wedding can have <mandarin>五五五十个人:wu wu wu shi ge ren</mandarin> I think, but like, like gathering as in like birthday party that kind of thing right, I think you can have more people gather lah but


that's only if, like we have, zero community cases for like two weeks straight so, like we are now in, in what month is this august right, august already going september so september november eh september october november december we still have four more months to next year right


I feel like just nice in these four months right, we might, okay I don't even think four months maybe five six months down the line, we will have to, we will still be like going out in groups of five ah, then like, err


like we won't we won't go into like phase three, until like at least four to six months later that's what I


actually, I just can't relate lah as in, I can't relate to, to like, the , the breeze ah, I I just feel like


like okay ideal situation is we just go back to when there was no COVID that's that's in my eyes lah


as in like, you mean you mean like err, like okay so like last time the hygiene of the place wasn't very good


but then like because of COVID right so, everybody is like upping their game like all the businesses, are like, can you clean better like telling their staff like can you clean better, and then like everything seems to be like, like cleaner is that what you're trying to say


but I feel like, like, you know, K based on what you said right like, not just the businesses you know it like depends on like people as well and okay truth be told right


if, without COVID, even if they don't do this, the hygiene of the err okay not the hygiene of the place lah the hygiene of the place is actually quite bad, it's just that, like it's a basic standard lor, so they are not like I feel like it's basic like


even though they don't like clean it very thoroughly right it's still okay, it's just that, so, the business right, also will ask the staff to like


properly like clean, their like products ah or like clean up the hotels ah, so, so like, like you know is safer for everyone so now now that like we are in phase two right at least the <mandarin>酒店可以开了:jiu dian ke yi kai le</mandarin> so at least <mandarin>他们有生意:ta men you sheng yi</mandarin> if not hor like !wah! they confirm like go bankrupt one lah !wah! confirm confirm damn difficult one but


some of the <mandarin>酒店:jiu dian</mandarin> now is still hosting like COVID, patients I think, eh is it patient or is it like those in quarantine


!wah!, !wah! I really, okay I miss the cheap food, I miss the cheap shopping I mean like cheap massage, everything also <mandarin>便宜:pian yi</mandarin> that's that's what I miss


ya you leh


because, queuing at a customs is faster


getting a Grab there right imagine you go like short distance, your Grab is five ringgit, so if you divide okay let's say you go with five people, is one ringgit per person one ringgit per person right, then after that, still divide by three cause exchange rate one ride is thirty cents you know


so like if you want to go if you want to go malaysia and you want everything to be cheap right don't have to drive cause the drive, you queue for two hours already, like #bo hua# leh, I mean like I said lah unless you want to unless you want to like pump tank but


you know if you want to go I recommend going at like, two AM that kind I think the queue will be quite short lah, err but okay for me right is all about the experience you go malaysia, you don't need to fly through a plane what


so I will rather go Bangkok, and if I go, Bangkok right at least I can still like, take internal flight I can go to like phuket then I can go like the resort kind of thing, so like beach massage all that !wah! damn Shiok so that's why I rather go Bangkok than to go malaysia


actually hor <mandarin>你讲有一点夸张:ni jiang you yi dian kua zhang</mandarin> leh <mandarin>如果是如果我是你的话我会:ru guo shi ru guo wo shi ni de hua wo hui</mandarin> like, filter then after that go faster then <mandarin>去他旁边:qu ta pang bian</mandarin> then after that <mandarin>去他的:qu ta de</mandarin> in front slow down hor, then <mandarin>如果他出去的话:ru guo ta chu qu de hua</mandarin> like get out of his car right


I will just speed away


[orh] is it like because that time you just got your license then you will drive to malaysia if you just got your license and let's just say like you were damn young right so like eighteen years old okay lah if you if you just got your license at the age of eighteen


then I will understand like why you will feel stressed driving and !wah! even at that time right like let's say like you have P plate and stuff I think not only are you a singaporean but you have sorry not P plate sorry you have your triangle plate, then


like everybody see already right !wah!, ya but but you know must like be careful lah don't like let these people like take advantage of you don't let them like bully you that kind of thing


so, ya okay lah ultimately hor, like you say like that already right, my stance on this situation is, do not, do not, drive in malaysia like you said


like you want you want to like go there because everything is like <mandarin>很便宜:hen pian yi</mandarin> right, so <mandarin>如果我是你我不会:ru guo wo shi ni wo bu hui</mandarin> like <mandarin>驾车进去:jia che jin qu</mandarin> malaysia, yeah


later !wah! supper ah, actually where you wanna go ah


like there, got this famous soup #bak chor mee#, is damn good, and it's also known for like their #peng he#, then okay so okay there have a lot of #zi char# <mandarin>地方:di fang</mandarin> but if I eat #zi char# right I usually go Changi village


so if you want to go, #zi char#, I would rather go Changi village but, if you want eat, #bak chor mee# we can go there but there still have #zi char# also so, you can eat #bak chor mee#, sugar cane


err, stingray #peng he#, err, and the <mandarin>铁板豆腐:tie ban dou fu</mandarin> is actually quite good, and, and #orh lua#, you know what #orh lua# is right oyster omelette, ya all of these like is the quite famous food there oh


there also, so the famous <mandarin>甜品:tian pin</mandarin> over there is the


east coast wait when you say east coast which one you're referring to


what do they sell there ah I don't know are they a famous supper supper place


actually now that you say this hor, I feel like eating Punggol #nasi lemak# have you like eaten there before the one at like Kovan, MRT there


so like, like every time I ask all my like purple line friends for supper right they are like eh


eh I'm not sure but I think Punggol #nasi lemak# is like open till quite late but, like, is, is open to quite late right but is like


is like, err, err the ingredients see you see whether the ingredients run out first so even if it's like open to three AM right let's say they have like chicken wing but the chicken chicken wing is like limited


so, see which one run out first


okay lah then we just decide between like Punggol #nasi lemak# or like, what's curry scissors curry, scissors cut, curry chicken rice, is it


err, okay lah we flip but then, but then like why don't we like consider our options a bit more cause, I feel like eating, like Prata leh cause like dude, you never go wrong with Prata


!wah!, !wah! you say crispy Prata ah !wah! I just, !wah! wait wait wait any any other thing


ya !wah! then you eat like damn late some more then !wah! how to process all these sia, cannot cannot like I must keep my figure as a <mandarin>女人我们要美:nv ren wo men yao mei</mandarin> so


actually hor, going to eat supper right how to <mandarin>美:mei</mandarin> sia I need my beauty sleep, , actually we supper tomorrow can a not


err Maggi ah, actually, there's this brand of Maggi that is


it is called Mama Mama noodles is I think okay is famous for its Thai, #tom yum# Maggi, but, a lot of people don't know right but they have this, so it's bee hoon right


that is damn good is damn delicious so like that's my favorite Maggi a lot of people like to eat the like typical Maggi chicken abalone but like, !wah!, like


so lah but I feel like the only, Maggi that lives up to the expectation right is the, is the A one Maggi where they have like, so, in the packet right they actually have


two, and you can add into the soup, so they give you the the standard Maggi like, like noodle they give you this satchel of, like seasoning right quite standard, but then hor this right


they have another packet, they give you <mandarin>两个小鲍鱼:liang ge xiao bao yu</mandarin> and they still have the <mandarin>鲍鱼:bao yu</mandarin> sauce, so you put inside right, everything so you pour the abalone sauce and pour the abalone in and you cook and eat, so what I feel like it a lot of people make a mistake with that


A one abalone noodle right, is that, they put the noodle in they put the seasoning in they put the <mandarin>鲍鱼:bao yu</mandarin> in but they throw the <mandarin>鲍鱼:bao yu</mandarin> sauce away no don't do that okay is damn precious the <mandarin>鲍鱼:bao yu</mandarin> sauce is like, you can make a lot of things with it so


you know like on chinese new year right like, so, the the marinade water right like the water that comes in a can with the <mandarin>鲍鱼:bao yu</mandarin> actually you can use that to make a lot of like sauces you can use that in your soup


so a lot of okay not alot of old people, throw it away but all the younger generation they tend to throw this sauce away cause they are like !ee! this water from a can but dude that is liquid gold


okay, forgive me for being Sensi but like is that why you are balding now because you shouldn't be drinking it from the can straight you need to like dilute it !wah! cause it's damn


is damn salty is damn strong, you are going to like, kill your liver by just drinking it straight like that like !wah!, please do not do that, if you want to drink saltwater right you eat durian first then you drink


, , I I somewhat get what you mean right, but


like, okay lah what you mean is that we are more susceptible to like like falling ill and stuff like that which is what, which is why like a lot of people tell us to take care of our bodies when we're young because when we're older then we will have all these sort of like small small ailments do you know like


but, my knees right, when it's too cold, and it's raining, I will get rheumatism in my like knee cap so I think like that's quite scary, so


err not right now, oh how many seasons are there in narcos


oh is it about cartel, oh, okay lah seems like a cop out like just a cash grab


wait so, , do there is a season three and there's also a spin off, what's in season three, oh that makes sense, oh ya makes sense makes sense


oh, crime drama like that not hundred per cent my thing, like ya, I you know I usually watch comedy or like animated stuff


okay sorry then, but uh I don't know, like I know you know futurama, you have you heard of futurama, , ya futurama I like futurama a lot I watch I watched like all of it


is by the same guy the made the simpsons, then, like seven or eight, okay lah one of the seasons is just like, four


movie length episodes, okay so it's about a guy that on new year's eve, nineteen ninety nine he falls into a cryogenic chamber


and cause of that he gets like frozen four thousand years then wakes up in the year three thousand, and ah ya ya so there's all sorts of like stupid jokes like instead of pigeons the main pests are owls, and and then err the city of New York it's like underground and they live in New New York


ya it's very dumb but basically the whole thing is like he works for delivery company then they deliver stuff all over the galaxy


ya it's probably not there are a lot of very nerdy jokes, okay sorry then, can but the thing about it it was it was cancelled and like brought back like twice by two separate networks


like it used if I'm right it used to be on Fox, then it got cancelled, and then for the period while it was cancelled when it came back that's when they made like the four like movie length episodes, ya at the start of the first one is like err the professor comes out and he says like you're all fired it's like what that's like the idiots at the box network cause they're a delivery company so it's like box network like decided to say we're irrelevant then it shows a picture of the building then this is box then the B some of the lights fail it says Fox


, and it's like then it's like the imbeciles that got us fired were themselves fired themselves themselves fired for incompetence, no lah just talking but it's not it I don't think but they were brought back by Fox then they were cancelled by Fox again and then they were brought back by Adult Swim


you don't know Adult Swim is err on Comedy Central, ya oh ya ya but it's on Comedy Central, ya but, they make a lot of very meta jokes like that


like there's one episode where they go through a portal like the beginning like the opening the opening credits when they go through a portal and, what oh they crashed into the simpsons house


ya then it's like you killed the simpsons like this are the actual simpsons ya because it's the same creator, the was very similar also, , I don't know anything else you


anything else you watch, like what


no you know , what was this, last time when me and my brother #wei yang# then we used to watch this show I don't whether you heard of it forensic heroes, it was also a Hong-Kong, Hong-Kong drama


is is is basically err ya it's also crime drama and, ya so they basically, ya lor is centered around forensic just CSI but, Hong-Kong people


okay lah I don't really know how else better to describe it, well we watch we watched it like, a lot like way too much, there were like three seasons


(hmm), but, after you finish narcos are you planning to watch anything else, have you seen through the Netflix like anything else that catches your eye


I heard house of cards is good, I think I heard something like that, something like that


I think the only time I've ever actually seen his face was when I went to madame tussauds museum in Hong-Kong and then there was, wax figure of andy Lau on a bicycle or something, that was that was it that's the I I I can I do not remember what his face looks like


was he in the movie


that's that's like saying, err, I don't know I don't think so


okay sorry I didn't watch the movie, err


sadder than sadder than sad, sadder than sad lor I don't know it's something about, they say it's a very cliche


movie about being sad and, , I don't know someone dies like a love story and someone dies something like that ah, I don't know I I it didn't really interest me they always say oh like all my friends say !aww! so sad so sad you know, they even all the guys they're usually very like stone cold they also cry


I don't know man I I'm not I wasn't I completely no interest


you know what movie actually looked kind of interesting, the other time when I came over the one that was on the, TV the one about the the band of brothers the the the four you know five guys that like the very old one ah like that look like in the seventies or eighties one the four guys the five guys then they were like they made a band together then ya ya ya it was called


ya band of brothers then is like some Hong-Kong movie ah then ya they they all from very noob become very good


you know actually one of the best chinese movies I've ever seen, I, I completely forgot the title, because err I saw it when, we when the first time I went to Russia then my teacher my teacher saw it on the plane and then recommended say your should watch it say it's a very good interesting movie


is is I can't remember what it was called but it's it's a it's a court movie, is is a movie about lawyers then it's like , so it's like, there will be the movie goes like there's a little bit then at a certain point in the case then the time will so called rewind and they'll show you something before the thing happen


and then it'll play through all again then you will hit a later part and then like rewind back again and then so is like layers upon layers of story, and I thought it was very interesting


, I also don't but, I mean that's like the only one that really stuck with me


okay ah but do you watch do you watch the little nonya, didn't ya is it Singapore, it was it took like it was set in, Penang or Malacca wasn't it


think so, something like that


oh, did you use to watch it, ya it was kinda


scarring for some people, I watched it when it came out


probably not


I don't think I've ever heard of that one, I don't know when I think about middle of the day


that went on for like eight hundred plus right eight hundred nine hundred plus episodes, oh guess I'm a fool then


I don't remember that but that sounds like something they'd do, convenient


I remember last time we used to play roughly about the time when you get back from school so I'll always see, and my god it was, even though I didn't understand half of it it was part of my childhood


then


oh I remember I remember I remember err, ya ya ya it's like night market story something like that lah eh that one also ran for like few hundred episodes right


to be fair it's iron rice bowl, I remember the reason why <mandarin>夜市人生:ye shi ren sheng</mandarin> was so long was cause they spent a few hundred episodes when all the children are young and then after that there's like time skip then they all grow up and oh my goodness that's how you just stretch it long longer longer


towards the end they weren't even in the night market anymore what right cause they grow up


sounds about right


no surprise did you remember kids central, octo, !aww! man, you're missing out, I remember last time kids central was ya kids central like I remember when octo used to be called kids central


there were so many cool shows, , on kids central like groom my room, I loved groom my room


like what


I wish I had the whole season of pokemon on CD, I remember having all the high five CDs


but what was really a big part of my childhood okay maybe because my family is, at the time they were very very christian and wanted me to watch all the christian shows, so they got me to watch err veggietales veggietales is


veggietales was actually very entertaining and they also got me to watch like my first bible stories and then it's like, it was like ya animated bible stories and honestly, they weren't half bad I even I still remember the theme song


veggietales and the bible stories one, dude veggietales was amazing, like I veggietales was really great like I remember I watched the veggietales movie that was like the story of jonah and the whale


I remember I remember the jonah one the veggietales was like they're all on a road trip, then what happens is like , I think they run accidentally their car the tyre get punctured by a porcupine, so they have to stop at some


roadside place and the whole thing is about learning about compassion and mercy, ya then because the the tomato like he gets like they are like spine like from the porcupine in his butt and then after that like the shared they would go to stop at seafood restaurant then err the chef pulls out one of the quails then he's like (uh huh) a quail for this scampi


like you know scampi, scampi is a kind of like shrimp dish then it's usually served on a skewer,


no no no as but catholicism is part as in christianity is the umbrella term for all, like, jesus religions, catholicism is just like the main, branch


there's no reason why you can't, okay lah but some of the denominations are actually very similar to catholicism, anglicans are very similar


I am not sure I know anglicans is supposed to be based on the, church of england, you know you know the church of england, is is after henry the eighth separated from ya


so the only big thing is that you can divorce people, other than that it's more or less the same, I know okay you know the comedian eddie izzard, ya he made a bit about the the church of england then say it's a very it's much less of a religion and more of a hobby nowadays


cause he said that he said that , what was it ya so he said a joke like err err catholic you you go to the priest and say father I have sinned and then he said and the father's like oh it's okay my son tell me all about it then you tell him your sins and he tells you oh say three hail marys and the lord will forgive you


then if you're in the church of england you go to the vicar and say vicar I have sinned then the vicar says well so have I, and so you say what should I do and the vicar says well drink three bloody marys and you forget all about it


I'm actually not too sure like the difference between methodists and some of the other denominations I know anglican is that, lutheran is based off of the, you never heard of lutheran, as in okay because


there was a period called the protestant reformation which is when, denomination started splitting off from the catholic church and it was started by a guy called martin luther, he went to not not the civil rights activist no that's martin luther king


martin luther was a german guy so he went he he went up to like the church and then he pasted a piece of paper on the door there was like ninety nine reasons why the church sucks, and people basically followed him and he started the lutheran church and that's the beginning of the protestant reformation


protestant is just a term to refer to any christian that's not catholic, so protestant groups together like methodist lutheran seventh day adventists even those people at heart of god


, ya but, it's I don't know I I don't I don't see most of the denominations as being all that different maybe the most different would be like okay lah islam [orh] islam is probably one of the most


islam is a derivative kind of of, christianity, like islam used to okay so judaism, christianity and islam are all they are all called abrahamic religions


because they all come from the same region and they all believe in the same god the abrahamic god, like the god of abraham, basically the key difference between islam and christianity is that


muslims don't believe that, jesus was god they believe he was a prophet, as in then from there there's a whole cascade of other consequences you know so they have the prophet Muhammad and the prophet Muhammad is like very


big to them I I'm not hundred per cent sure ah, but that's why the the beliefs are actually very similar like, actually in the bible in deuteronomy it says like you're not supposed to eat pork


so the quran the torah and the bible are all, more or less from the same base text


ya, ya I'm not surprised


okay lah but , I don't know I think it's interesting to study, other religions if you just like


look at it in a different lens like if you look at it through the lens of like studying culture, cause religion ultimately it's just a different aspect of culture


you know a fun fact sarah actually told me the other day like she actually gets approached by evangelicals very often, really


when


, okay okay interesting no lah sarah that time she told me that her most ever was one day she got approached three times, I don't know man apparently she looks like someone that needs jesus


eh don't ask me man, but ya that's why she was saying like she keeps getting approached by people telling her to go to church and I've never been approached by any one telling me


that you know any of those evangelicals, no I don't know, like one time she said that there was some like she saw someone her that looked like her age then come up to her approach her and say oh want to do a survey for their school


then she was like okay I help out a fellow uni student and then they were like do you go to church do you have a religion, like do you have a religion and like [orh] do you go to church and then say oh ya you can come to my church ah then she started going on and on and sarah immediately was like


, I'm out


actually there is a belief , in philosophy that , if you it's kinda like fake it till you make it like if you go through the motions of being a true believer you will eventually become a true believer even if you don't believe it from the start


ya, it's one belief but, I don't know how accurate it is, no no no no no it's much more recent


what what did you learn


ya more or less more or less accurate


okay ah, I don't know it sounds like a very, okay lah not dumb lah but, , , irrelevant


okay lah I mean there's good intentions behind it that like asking questions generally can help you to improve your learning but, I don't know forcing it out doesn't making a whole course out of it just seems, kind of dumb


okay ah, at least uh when you were saying that it reminds me of the popular science module that I'm doing now, but at least that one is a bit more relevant to what I wanna do, because the like the popular science module is just like how to convert scientific writing into writing that normal people can understand


or like how to express your scientific ideas it to, to a larger audience, ya so because of that like every week you do like a book chapter review, so you like read a, there's like so they give us a chapter from book then it's from different science disciplines then supposed to evaluate oh was the author good at like like translating these complex ideas into simple words


stuff like that lor then they teach you like literary techniques, it's required mod for the faculty of science


I'm quite sure you can choose a different GET mod, like because there's also other GET mods there's like oh the about like astronomy astrophysics and stuff like that, or like evolution you know I know of


there are five GE types right there's like GEQ GEH GET GES is it and, GER ya okay, I know, is is compulsory for all NUS students but I think it's just that maybe the options are different for different faculties


okay lah, I think I'm I'm not sure about how they, give you like the options but, I know , I was looking through and some of them look very interesting and like example I don't think like I think that every student at NUS needs to take some element of computing so for for FASS you take it in like GET right like the one that you did that time but for faculty of science you can opt to take either


COS one thousand which is the introductory computer science mod, or you can take , there's another one that is like CM something something which is computing for chemistry like computational chemistry


so that one is that one also counts as like, cause in faculty of science the, the requirement is after a certain amount in your own discipline you have to choose, from a different you have to take mods from other science disciplines also


so one of the science disciplines is computing, so you you choose to take a mod from there either COS or CM


I think maybe fintech like fintech, financial technology, I think it's part of it it's a commonly used programming language, I don't think you have to it's just something like part of your resume I guess


to show that you have some command of, like you are not completely tech illiterate


ya but I think the most important that mod is supposed to teach you is, ya lor it's not coding but computational thinking, I don't think you have to but like honestly I think that a lot of companies and a lot of like like the government places a bit too much emphasis on


like the importance of knowing coding cause you don't need everyone to know coding, computational thinking maybe but, not coding, like to actually know how to code, it's a bit like, you don't have to


I don't think you need to come up with it yourself I think most important is you understand how it works, okay lah my mum never, my mum when she was still work at a bank she say she's she just like plug things in the excel sheet then they all do it by itself


ya more or less, okay lah but visual basic I think is ya it's exactly what it says is basic so it, it's just a very simple understanding of how, code works and how computers like


ya lor how you how to tell a computer to do something


you don't have to


okay okay surrender surrender


okay ah but back to the coding thing, I think


ya make sense ah I mean, it's it's really not essential this is coming from my dad that is an engineer he says really really not that important, his trained engineering trained


triple E, err electrical, something engineering, I can't remember but is you don't know meh school of triple E


it's at NTU


okay, ya I, ya I know I know, but okay ah I mean, I don't think you need to be too worried your resume really, just


do what you can I guess most importantly


k ah understand I mean that also plays into the same thing that I said just now about blind faith what, like, like the like I say like what you go through the motions of being religious eventually you start to believe, it's the same thing as that what you go through the motions of being charitable eventually


you do it because you want to you know rather than for any reason, it's the same philosophical err, idea behind it


not that it always happens but it can


ya I get it, I don't know moral ethics like that it's always nobody likes moral ethics


more than that I think


I know you told me you told me before that you were considering getting it cause you wanted to read it, , you should see crash course philosophy


why, oh I I like crash course like, hank and john are very informative


ya, but, they are cool like, crash course you know most of the like arts stuff is covered by john and then most of the science stuff is covered by hank, I don't know but


err ya like during crash course literature and stuff like that then he will make a lot of references to his own books, ya I know I know, but uh crash course philosophy was very interesting


crash was err psychology also, ya


you mean the chinese title, I'm not sure


it's literally a book of military tactics why are you what what what why are you surprised, people have interpret it to have like say that the stuff that he say inside the book can be taken out of the military context


like know your enemy like keep your friends close and your enemies closer that's from the art of war, like you know your enemy very well you must know your enemy better than you know your friends to defeat them


I don't know but I know I know one of the lines in the art of war there was like what, which is out of thirty like say you're in battle they have like thirty plus manoeuvres the best manoeuvre is retreat sometimes the best route manoeuvre is retreat


like say know when to back down from a fight [ah]


I was watching narcos last night, and I watched until, season two, up until the point where they
