but then this one, each chapter is like so long then oh I really quite a lot on my plate sia ya, some more uni also starting so I'm not sure how I'm going to, balance

have you ever had a, transfer like exchange program, why


, you can do it now,


right that's why I really want to go overseas, the exchange program, SEP ah


air b n b air b n b, air b n b is, is their, korean apartments lor


I don't think so, unless you make friends ya, ya, but my sis she went on an exchange then she stayed at some air b n b thing but


I think is a guesthouse or something then got erm the korean, auntie she will cook for them, so I guess you can kind of experience home cook, korean food lor, ya, depends on what kind of places you search for I guess


that time I stayed in a guesthouse also, I went two times one is air b n b one is guest house but the guest house I stay in all is foreigners, but the owners were korean lah, every morning got breakfast also


breakfast is just cereal toasts egg, but still nice lah to wake up then got all those things prepared you know, I want to travel


I can't wait for SEP, !huh! you not going for SEP, then


oh oh different ah, your grades are competitive what


oh SEP different from summer meh SEP also go in summer what, one sem, oh so summer winter is shorter ah, cheaper


really !wah!, but I think if you apply FAS or something probably will have


bursary scholarship, well I want though, I rather go SEP eh, I feel like one month not enough


one month totally not enough man totally not enough, my sis also last time she went korea for one month she say not enough, she said, she regretted, she would rather go for the one sem


I think I will try for SEP but if cannot then I'll go for I'll try for summer or winter, ya lor, !wah! actually


ya oh shit then they should open more slots mah cannot be possibly same slots


korea now the situation isn't that bad, they are still schooling they are still, going out to eat all that, they didn't they didn't have a lockdown, I don't think they did


I don't think they have a lockdown eh I don't know lah


, I can teach you some korean, you sure, why don't you take LAK


everything korean related is damn competitive, the thing is you might not even get, the module cause it's so competitive eh is crazy


russian go learn russian, you then you can apply to your history what maybe next time you will need to read some russian text, then you will know how to read, what's your major


political science !wah!, quite cool though, but quite err is it a common, like is your double major a common as in your major and minor the combination is it common


oh similar,


(oo), ah , oh, !wah! !wah! then <mandarin>你这样子不是很:ni zhe yang zi bu shi hen</mandarin> conflicting <mandarin>不会很难:bu hui hen nan</mandarin> meh


true true, true that, mine psych also psychology also damn competitive, you know there's one course was for our psychology right


you must, pass you must get ah, b miners and above for two modules one is one the the beginner mod then the other one is one two K mod, but the thing is both mods very competitive like


to even get in is very competitive so then my friends two two of my friends right they didn't get the mod so that they have to either take a special term, or give up on majoring in psych cause if they don't get those two mods


very very difficult for them to like continue already they are really lagging behind everybody else a lot, then they cannot declare major as psych also, ya then got one of my friend she err he he go and like call them asked what like if they can help him cause he wants to major in psych but they are not giving him the mod is not that he even he did badly in it or anything he can't even get the mod


like what else is supposed to do there's nothing he can do, he's second year same as us, ya, ya ya ya oh my god then the person tell him oh if sometimes in life you can't get what you want oh you can consider changing the major !huh! ya I was so shock ya he he went to call


like seriously this what just cause you all don't want to give me the mod doesn't mean that I I need to give up, what I want to major in what


by right year one should, no err no he say he try he tried in in seem two but he didn't get it


ya, he is appealing desperately, but


ya, but <mandarin>他们他们只是讲:ta men ta men zhi shi jiang</mandarin> oh then <mandarin>你可以去:ni ke yi qu</mandarin> major in something else, like what doesn't make sense, then my other friend he say he is probably going to take a special term lor


really !wah!, but no choice mah, no choice leh no choice, because, but I think is damn unfair because it's not even like


they did badly in it then they want to retake it or anything like they fail then they want to retake, is they are not even given the mod when they're bidding for it eh, is damn ridiculous oh my god so as, ya but he didn't get it


and he didn't get it again cause the priority is, year ones, right how is this, they say they started this mod right system so that is more fair how is it fair it's not fair at all


the slots so little leh some more cause I'm I'm inside this sem then erm I received an email saying that they cancelled three tutorial slot cause of under enrolment, ya for that psych mod that they didn't get into ya


I don't understand, how is it under enrolment, how can you cancel three, freaking tutorial slot


just put a few more people in lah , I don't know lah !aiya!, ya ya, he really call them and ask whether there's anything they can help with


and this what they say lor, this is crazy eh for me, I declared my minor as psych, that's why I could get the mod this sem, I never declare a major I just declare a minor ya cause


maqumee also psychology minor mah then the last time she told me that when she declared as minor they they pre-allocated both the psych mod to her so I was thinking like oh maybe if I declare then they will, prioritise me ya so that's why I declared and got the mod


he never they the both of them never, the declaration is already over mah cannot declare already, ya ya undeclared


ya that's why I got tell him leh I got say oh next time I think you should declare minor cause I think they will prioritise you major cannot cannot cause you haven't fulfil the prerequisites, so you cannot even choose the option to declare psych ya


right right, !aiya!, but even me, even though I got that that, that mod right I wanted to get another core mod also cause core mods don't need prerequisite


so I wanted social psych but !wah!, the competition, I couldn't get it, ya, I quite scared later I cannot do properly


okay I will consult you , , I wonder how they are going to do group work


zoom ah so annoying eh, but I'm I'm quite happy that we don't have to go to school anymore, I don't want to travel, ya lor, very


when are we starting school ah, then how <mandarin>选:xuan</mandarin> tutorial


tuesday, eh, eh, when ah


eight august


ah only one mod, how many MC you doing this sem


Siao, (oo), then the tutorial slot, tutorial select tutorials is twelve august


wednesday, , I not sure whether I should bid for more mods but <mandarin>我不知道要还要在什么:wo bu zhi dao yao hai yao zai shen me</mandarin> mod Liao


then one psych four MC also, then CH, then,


what else ah, I can't remember, oh oh that one I still got GEQ, so I got four core !huh!


, one MC <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> mod


I think I take that one as <mandarin>我把它当成:wo ba ta dang cheng</mandarin> UE lor <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> hor, eh <mandarin>不可以:bu ke yi</mandarin> hor


okay lah okay lah, but I think <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> count, still can count towards my psychology MC requirements lah so whatever lah, so now I think <mandarin>我有十七:wo you shi qi</mandarin> mc which is not a lot


by bidding for stuff new stuff also lah, modules that I'm bidding for now


I don't think they will give it to me even after I appeal


err <mandarin>我就在家看戏:wo jiu zai jia kan xi</mandarin> I watch a lot of dramas like I just spent eight hours, ya


ya, legit is legit, eight to nine, er, I mean uni like before before CB period is although like is quite the how to say like uni life is quite


slack, but is still, mentally draining lah, so, and you won't when school starts right next sem you really have this opportunity to spend eight hours a day watching netflix, that's why


what do you do,


err no, I don't think so ya I don't think so


ya besides that what do you do, is it just translation and drama, oh oh but during CB <mandarin>我没有:wo mei you</mandarin> tuition


err cause CB is may to june right, but err during that time I stopped tuition, cause I didn't I didn't think of having online tuition at that point in time so only started after june


err ya I still have the translation job so like maybe, ya, ya is damn fast


eh this year just like flew past eh, ya, oh my god this year gonna pass very fast, oh my god, !wah!


why,


like animal shaped ah


!huh! really, oh ya, ya


ya but their's that one is nice also, like <mandarin>很脆:hen cui</mandarin> right, like the crust ya, is it


oh my god eh so what did you translate like what kind of stories, ah, ah


, , , , uh


, okay, , ya alvin


okay, ya


uh


uh, uh, uh


oh ya ya ya, as in he text in the group is it, the he specifically like name you


oh, uh, uh


okay I get what you mean, no I think is because he didn't check the other books, like mine also like recently he texted like the book was my second my second book I think the book I translated


then it was done like in, early june or something like that then he only texted now asking us to change, some parts of it but thankfully like the others also have mistakes so each one of us have one mistake


, , , ya,


, , , uh, uh


oh ya they didn't pay you your, money


, ya, ,


ah, reimburse, ya he might


ya, you know we don't even reply them A S A P eh


like we reply like one week or like a few weeks later you know not kidding, he ask for, he ask for a synopsis for a novel right till now we haven't given it to him


after like one month I think, but as in as in the the chinese that they send us right is not the is not okay so they ask us to edit it ourselves when we translate it ya


now after one month nobody has edit, ya, ya I think so ya I think so oh my god, ya, but what if I get fired


ya, oh no that's so sad


so freaking long, , ya, ya


as in I think, you can take you more than one month to complete a novel right, oh


worst come to worst you can send me I can help you, ya thank you, oh then I'll have the job again, I only have two students now for tuition, and they are all primary school


and one girl is graduating soon which means that I'm gonna be left with one student, ya, I don't really want to pay the commission, ya, and (mmhmm)


oh, ya but I want like online tuition you know I don't really have to travel I save I save a lot of transport fee, and time, ya, ya lor


my kid one of the tutee lives at Jurong west, then <mandarin>不是很:bu shi hen</mandarin> Ulu lah but


, she graduating though, I was a bit, but I think, in a way


as in you also see how you teach your teaching style, like what habits you have that's that's what I think, ya, when I teach also ya


sometimes when my students, as in they have been doing quite okay but if they don't do well, then I will ask myself to like question myself also is it the way I teach, like might not be suitable for them


ya, ya I get what you mean


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


don't really feel the thing


, I think you really need the money


cause you were quite good right CSE and math is it, maybe cause you are pretty then they like oh a pretty tutor ,


oh, how's his A level result


, oh okay, for A levels, !wah! not bad I work quite hard lah but I got C okay lah not very hard actually I feel like


oh that's true, madam Song, , she's not bad but she's just not fun, as a teacher you know, ya she's quite boring


as in I think she explained well cause I go for one for one consultation no it's remedial I'm forced to go , this like CLL you know I'm forced to go for consultation


I got, ya, I heard I've heard she has a lot of tuitions, I mean from what I heard she spends one thousand plus on tuition

!wah! you missed it so sad, not nice a lot of people say it's nice though, oh <mandarin>成都:cheng du</mandarin> okay ya ya that's true that's true


I don't eat a lot of stuff like, duck pork, I can eat beef but I don't eat beef I tried it once ya, octopus, your favourite your favourite err no as in I tried it yesterday like


as in is like very slimy lor then when I eat it right I'll be reminded of the, alive ah, alive octopus then I feel a bit uh, you mean in terms of food ah


, ya ya, , is that why you like it a lot cause of the chewy chewiness


ah, ya why do they like chicken so much like chicken and beer I think that's the best combination for them


, (mmhmm), long queue


okay, !wah!


but is unhealthy also, !wah! tempted to go eh, korea, I like their scenery I think is very nice and Jeju island, I want to go Jeju island actually


I think it's very like tranquil, ya (ugh), we can go japan one day we can like stay up at our uncle's house


oh ya he's in he went there to study he's from malaysia but he went there to study like the uni there, then now he stays there, he's almost like I I'm not sure right but when you are in japan I think when you eat too much japan food and like you live like the people there like your face totally change also then you look like a japanese he looks like japanese now you know ya that's why I think eh like <mandarin>真的他有日本人的样子有一点:zhen de ta you ri ben ren de yang zi you yi dian</mandarin> so I'm wondering if the food there does change people like in terms of their appearance it's just like how chinese we look like chinese because maybe the food we eat then in japan also ya


I tried before then I'm like oh cannot I cannot swallow this, I don't eat I cannot swallow it up I'm like this is raw this is raw keep reminding myself that is raw


ya I also like japan, but <mandarin>我会怕冷:wo hui pa leng</mandarin> but I think must try ah I think definitely must try once, winter ah like degree err in terms of temperature


no ah the, I think the least, the minimum temperature like I went to was like three three degrees celsius


!huh! really,


, !wah!, oh my god, ya ya, !wah!


oh my god now I want go, one thing I like about japan is the people there also you know when I went there right their shops they don't even cover up all their items they just leave it there because people really don't steal like crime rate is really low there, ya


too much space, in japan, !wah! ya


ya that's why, ya, !wah!, why though like japanese they are so, in terms of their moral education is really quite advance


oh, LOL


, that's true, erm , !wah! I really miss japan, my niece no my cousin my cousin my uncle's


daughter, she's also in japan ah like she's three years old, like my uncle is like, half, erm malaysian right but he did stay at japan then the mum is chinese like she's from china <mandarin>湖北:hu bei</mandarin> province I think, so like so the kid right


she has the chinese feel but also like the japanese feel so is damn cute, ya , magumee looks a bit, #ang moh#, not #ang moh# but like the like the feels she gives is a bit #ang moh# I think


ya US right I think so, I think is very messy, , uh uh


but you don't drink coffee right, !huh! really, (uh huh), like the four dollar coffee or like the cheap coffee


instant, oh I love coffee but I can't really drink, I'm trying to cut coffee, err


no is not one cup a day but you know the instant coffee right so I divide into three parts so like one day I will drink like one third, so that I won't get so much caffeine in my system cause I can't sleep at night eh did I tell you, I can't sleep nowadays, oh really


what she told me, okay is not the exact terms ah cause I don't really know the term she use but she say <mandarin>你的丹气不足:ni de dan qi bu zu</mandarin> or something like that then <mandarin>你的元:ni de yuan</mandarin> because like the liver is not when you don't sleep your liver


I don't know what is like your, ah I don't know the english term for that, actually but she told me, because when you don't sleep your liver doesn't function well right


ya cause it ya cause at night your liver is supposed to like, remove all the toxins detoxify right I think ya, then, then <mandarin>那个气血就不足所以:na ge qi xue jiu bu zu suo yi</mandarin> affects my digestion, like you know your <mandarin>脾胃:pi wei</mandarin> so <mandarin>胃是:wei shi</mandarin> ya I think they both work together


so like I'm hungry like I want to eat but I can't eat cause my food doesn't get digested well so it's like all there, then I don't know how all these things to my insomnia also, ya so I'm thinking like chinese medicine it does help, a bit in terms because before I sleep right I feel the burning sensation in my stomach


which is quite bad, no like before I went to visit the doctor right there will before ya ya


now after taking the medicine at least erm my constipation is not that bad like like it's around two days, or like maybe I will have one, like ya


oh, , I know I know I know the feeling that's me every night actually, ya sleeping alone


ya,


, she will on the lights


oh, ya, !huh!


!wow!, ya oh my


oh is it, I think when you snore is cause like your naval passage is not, ya is blocked right


but this I think is not worth it to stay in hall this sem,


you cannot have a dog now, you cannot have a dog now, how much is it ah


!huh!, !wow!, !huh! wait serious, for a pet


what about those from SPCA you can adopt right, (oo), oh,


, ya true, , ya true, maybe you can have them after you start working


, true


ya, , that's true, , I don't know why I never have this kind of feeling since like since young you know


ya, for some reason, or even like like soft toys, I never seem to like, you know like people when they when they want birthday present they would sometimes requests for soft toy they can hug


I don't feel anything for soft toy for some reason I don't know why, I think I prefer kids


but not my own kids like other people's kids, I mean ya like like you know the same


you know but now when I because I'm used to sleeping like myself right so when my sister come over I feel very restricted like I cannot like, stretch out or whatever


is it, I think so I think so ya I think so ya


possible uh, why though, teddy bears ah


oh my god


uh


[orh], , no, oh my god I cannot understand


I think <mandarin>因为我是:yin wei wo shi</mandarin> my I think perhaps this comes from like a more practical family because since young like my mum she doesn't is it she doesn't believe like in spending money on teddy bears, oh


oh my mum also, my friends also don't though for some reason I don't know why, I mean <mandarin>不是奇怪:bu shi qi guai</mandarin> is just


never never seen is nice for like everyone has different habits and preferences


uh, okay


uh, oh, , uh uh


elmo !wow!, is it on your bed, ya I think so I think I


ah, kids are cuter


!aiya! can


fifty, seventy five


!wah! this is !wah! <mandarin>这个突破我知道:zhe ge tu po wo zhi dao</mandarin> oh my god, !wah! oh my god


!wah!, , ya we hardly have teddy bears at home, ya they were given ya by her friends also


!wah! damn ex eh, !huh!, !wah!


oh my god, !wah! teddy bears, I think kids will like them more, ya maybe they go for video games or


nope, okay lah <mandarin>拿去啦拿去啦你这么喜欢等下你整个:na qu la na qu la ni zhe me xi huan deng xia ni zheng ge</mandarin> even your bed sheets can be this teddy bear you know


oh oh ya this is teddy bear also my bed sheet, oh my god


exaggerate or rather she's really like that ya, oh my god, glimpses of her ya that's true


ya I will go Berserk, err I will go Berserk you know, oh my god no


yes but I didn't go to the students house, it just it just wasn't in the program I think, like we just went to hotels and stay there, ya so it's quite sad, ya


I do want to stay at their houses lah but, currently there's they don't have it in the program, no I want to do it overseas, I mean like I already know roughly how singaporeans they everyone we kind of have the same lifestyle, perhaps err be fun if we can try out the korean or chinese kind of lifestyle


ya, can you pay like, do they have this kind of experience where you get to live in some koreans house and then, you, err maybe like not just not just students err exchange program but


in real life lah, air b n b maybe, no right is still not the, so you can only find


ya but you don't really get a chance to really, live with the koreans and understand how they live right, unless you have a korean friends ya, go ahead


oh, korean food


, [orh], !wow!, nice


okay the typical one, that's true, !huh!, ya I know right I also want to travel


!hais!, but SE I I I don't think I'm going for SEP, err no


maybe summer or winter program, cause SEP very, ya cause SEP you will need to accumulate the SEP points, then, your grades also have to be very competitive


it's okay lah but I don't I don't really want to like it's very ex though the price is also an issue, like, SEP is one sem, summer winter is like one month, around there one or two months so in terms of price ya and in terms of price I mean from what I heard from my friends lah this one I haven't fact check I'm not sure


it can go up to like twelve, eight eight thousand, for SEP cause is you are going there for one sem so is actually you are kind of, ya, maybe cheaper maybe if you apply for those err subsidies


ya but is still like around four thousand, which is a lot, ya, true but, the price is


[orh], I think one sem is really not easy to get and there are a lot of things to to do lah


I think mapping modules is also quite headache, quite headache, ya, ya


ya and some more cause of COVID this year so a lot of students may re-apply, so essentially, but the schools themselves they might not have more slots and the schools, I I'm not sure actually


they didn't, as in I know they did have elections after the lockdown


as in I'm not sure whether they have lockdown but I do know that they have, oh wells, okay lah but I I think I'm eyeing korea


and maybe china, I was supposed to learn korean then like so early give up, as in I didn't continue with it, I haven't given up yet, oh


no lah I think I rather spend my, as in I think is very competitive right for korean mod, everyone comes in knowing some some korean then like I only know nothing, the, right same


ya, that's why I rather spend my my time on other mods, no lah russian, actually that's true


but I'm minoring in history so, political science ah, I don't know it might change, major


ya it's quite common as in common as in, people coming to F A S S right wanting to take history or pol science will be torn between these two majors so those who initially wanted to take double major in both will end up either taking pol science or history as a major


and a minor in either subject probably, because the projects are damn different and apparently like, both of them had very strong opinion so like history majors have strong opinions of pol science, cause of the approach they don't agree with how they study stuff


and then pol science people themselves they have very strong opinion cause, actually both are, in like just know when to use the skills you learn both skills the different approaches then just know when to use it


so so it's very actually beneficial lah in that sense, ya, and maybe I wouldn't even do things related to pol science when I graduate, then maybe that's when the history skills can be used, ya


(uh huh)


, ya, !wah! damn sad


, !wow!


as in he's in the first year or, oh oh is he the one who whom admin say just change your major, (oo)


literally that's what the admin says, literally that's what they mean what like he call, !wah!


but actually right, why is it that he's only he's only starting to consider psychology in year two, cause actually by right year one, on he should have taken all the mods eh so now that he's in year two right, the priority should be given to the year ones actually so it actually does make sense that the admin says that


oh is it he has I think he can appeal though like just appeal desperately then, they might give him, oh, okay


I think in year one they should give you priority lah actually since is a, core requirement right is requirement for


!wah!, this is another way for him, you know special term is eight hundred dollars I think eight hundred plus, my friends only, but you are paying eight hundred plus for just that mod


ya, ya, ya


so as in he bided for it when last year when it was in sem two he didn't get it so he's bidding for it this year, year ones ya, ya is a bit ridiculous though he should have gotten it last year


for your psychology, !huh!


ya, !wah! I mean like ya it's really not known you should make it more transparent lah in terms of how they allocate modules and all


as in he try in all three rounds lah as in first round, oh, it's true the system is a bit, screw up sometimes


!huh! then what's your major CNM, oh just minor oh you can do that okay


, pre-allocated, oh, ya they will prioritise you, did he declare


even, the now, oh so his his plan is the undeclared one, like he has, oh he should have declare


oh what is he doing, you just declare major also can definitely get, why, [orh] for psych oh oh my god


why he should have declare he would have gotten it, uh,


!wow!, one one o one, have fun, can can can it's quite it's not very tough it's quite it's quite easy actually don't need consult I wasn't even like I didn't really watch all the movies also


really I just go into class I look at what they discuss then I pick their points then I, just show your opinions ya, oh that's true


ya true, I didn't have to like see everyone, nice


eleven august


I bided for the history mod, yup, for third round, twenty four, !huh! <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> ah


she taking double major lor that's why, what


oh wednesday okay


I need to speak in chinese


[orh]


so bila ayah kerja dulu dekat uh #alfa laval# then you don't think macam maybe there's a better job out there or something like that


!wah! kira [kan] bagus [seh] pakai allen key [jer] senang [seh], oh because it's much easier ah


like now my workplace macam construction ah pun semua pun dia orang nak tukar jadi macam manufacturing


, ya ya ya ya actually true ah so macam dia orang ah actually dia orang nak buat [kan] benda tu ah datang [jer] [kan]


ah yang pagar kayu tahu the whole you imagine eh macam the whole building


, so so you it really depends uh ah


actually kalau macam they use wood [kan] dia orang cakap ah it's supposed to be cheaper because ya, because like uh the wood banyak tapi macam macam uh the besi is steel [kan] dia orang kena mine, ah so that's why like uh kalau kayu [kan] senang dia chop [jer] lepas tu dia dia process


ah


ah dia ada tukar macam oh ada tempat ni kadang kadang mula mula ah you know there's a lot of snow then suddenly eh tempat tu tak banyak snow


oh yang itu ada ah


in the udara ke or anything like that


so ayah rasa macam tak apa ah kalau dia lagi banyak shopping centre then, this climate change tu kira [kan] boleh boleh adapt ah


so ah pada ayah macam yang this ah COVID ni ah ayah think will last how long


oh


oh so macam ayah fikir actually what the government want is to make to ensure that people will continue working,


the europe punya people say eh ah don't come because you're from US ah please go home


oh ya dekat dekat eh the inside of the dormitory [kan] it's really uh it, according to my workers ah dia orang cakap kalau kau daripada ah but unfortunately lah kirakan kalau you're from china eh yang the, bangladeshi and the indian worker right don't want to mix dengan yang chinese because dia orang cakap tapi memang betul dia punya hygiene level is very low so


they try to okay I want to stick to only my people ya tapi sekarang is like tapi of course in the news I think singapore they don't want to say which, place or which type of which race is the one that is get a lot of the uh sickness because if not then people will be very macam macam racist [kan] dengan dia orang ah pasal tu dia orang pun tak nak ah actually


a'ah


do you remember the SARS actually not so bad [kan] macam aku I I I don't remember cause I I was actually in like early like secondary school and then ya


oh is it abang abang punya party, which one is this eh, oh the the khatam quran party is it, oh I don't remember kena check temperature actually


oh dah boleh clear ah, mineral water [jer] eh


so uh apa tu jadi if now eh bila ayah tengok macam movie movie macam zombie zombie [kan]


ah ayah continue tak tengok cerita macam itu sekarang [kan] now you feel like you're already in the movie


oh like like cannibalism


human that


so macam hantu biasa macam ah you can just


tapi kirakan sekarang ayah dah retire [kan] so ayah rasa freedom tak macam , I I don't need to care about like all this you know hantu or all these you people


so like you don't even need to think about like the basically no stress at all lah


, so ah apa tu jadi bila ayah dah retire so after dah you retire you feel like


mula mula start kerja then you said that the [kan] ayah ada kerja kat tempat glass [kan], ah so dulu dekat singapore dia ada banyak factory eh pasal I don't think sekarang ada company glass dekat singapore


so sekarang kirakan macam free and easy


so kalau actually eh macam sekarang [kan] dia banyak gila technology [kan], ah ayah rasa technology ni kirakan macam bagus ke tak bagus kadang kadang macam technology ni macam ,


, oh okay


so bila ayah when you read [kan] those kind of stories [kan] do you feel macam actually bila dia jajah satu country tu dia bagus ke good or bad


so bila dulu uh [kan] yayi is actually malaysian right, oh actually so pasal tu nyai will come to singapore, oh


so tapi yang that time yang yang yang apa tu the the separation [kan], is it an announcement on TV


so it was actually senang gila [seh]


immigration centre ah


oh


actually dulu pun like when I first err fikir [kan] like what to do [kan] actually I also wanted to join uh the army, because like the army macam to me macam dia semua macam easy ah [kan], ah then lepas tu you you you can rise up the rank and then kerja dia macam not so bad lah


marching what's the point sia ya


!huh!, like you're disciplined tapi there must be other ways to be disciplined also right


ah


quite positive [kan] ah macam oh you can remember the good times ah


, ah it it like life is like that [kan] macam dulu like apa tu err that time when the adik dalam police eh oh my god sia, like so hot and then lepas tu dia punya push up don't say ah, ah dia punya push up dah apa tu !wah! sekarang sekarang nak buat push up macam gitu pun tak boleh [seh] tapi dulu !wah! you know so good you know


ya, , ah and then lepas tu dia orang and then dia punya army officer semua cara dia sama [kan]


, oh ya ya ya that guy is also before army right ya ya ya ya


so macam dia orang semua nak kena they have this macam angkuh punya muka ah eh,


a'ah, a'ah tapi bagus juga [seh] kalau hari hari pakai uniform senang [seh] like you don't need to think you wake up, ya ya ya ya ya


ah so macam kawan adik sekarang dia dalam MINDEF [kan] so like although he's in construction eh


ah in within the MINDEF itself ya dia orang mesti nak ada manager yang kat dalam yang boleh buat construction, so he's the construction manager for MINDEF lah, like oh I got no feeling Liao no work no work also everyday I will come to work lor, macam ya like no feeling to scared ke takut ke kena buang kerja nothing ya


oh,


so mesti kerja yang rabak rabak punya then uh too bad lah because like you're in warehouse [pe]


MOM


actually ayah dulu ada license apa eh


ya lah macam wasted money ah pasal call crane, ah lah pasal macam sama ah macam construction kalau ada crane masuk [kan] it's like oh my god [seh]


like dia orang semua like you cannot even walk there and then ya


ya ya ya ya it's true ah


, , !huh!, ya so sekarang macam the situation dengan si COVID ni is a bit weird [kan] pasal banyak benda macam just stop


ah is aku I don't even use the baju half of the time in pyjamas macam I pergi kerja pun pyjamas ha


oh ya ah


!huh!


, a'ah so itu ah so tengok ah maybe adik pun will just become a technical officer ah, is like lagi senang nak check orang punya kerja [kan] daripada nak buat you punya kerja sendiri


I so you're saying like dia tak tahu ah actually,


actually that's true ah itu yang dia punya the difference [kan] I think we talk about this before yang macam if you work for a MNC, ah if the kalau dia punya engineer turun [kan] daripada australia ke apa then kalau kau tak turun dengan dia [kan], ah then dia macam tengok engkau hello I'm going down sia you not going down meh gitu a'ah


ah tapi kalau macam singapore punya !wah! clean ah berdiri [jer] kasi yang the poor bangla eh ah, a'ah


ah


aku rasa a'ah satu swimming pool habis dia cakap no no no no I need to to build a school


not not many not many of the bangladesh or or the workers ah are actually


uh still go to the construction site mostly all cannot ah itu dia punya problem ah, ah so ah itu yang I don't know when to finish ah dia punya project habis dia orang kita so macam sixteen eh, then you do what sweep the floor ah what else you want me to do sia


ah, ah


ah, oh


(mmhmm)


a'ah [seh], ah I don't know ah when when is this going to end pun really not sure


, (mmhmm), ya so tengok ah apa tu harap harap everything is okay lah [kan]


ayah ada berapa banyak [seh], oh okay, !wah! dah dah dah planning ah


!chey! pasal dulu [kan] apa tu [kan] susah [kan] nak dapat singaporean, ten years tak boleh masuk malaysia apasal eh


letter ke atau pun macam tak atau they just tak tak tak consider you as patriotic ah


oh ya ya, oh so kirakan macam apa tu dia dia really control lah ya, habis nyai is nyai singaporean


so dia bila dia convert [seh], oh on the independence day itself dia boleh convert tapi apasal ayah tak convert


(ppc), ah yang itu actually adik pun kena buat lah benda tu oh zaman zaman silam [kan] a'ah,


oh dulu first kerja err ayah kerja apa ni uh shipyard, because last time ah


go for the what apprentice for three and the half years, and then err I continue work about, uh five years then I quit from the shipyard ah, they call and message I ah M mitsubishi heavy industry ah, then after that I kerja dekat apa ni company uh bikin glass ah they call it glass glass


err down there I work as a technician ah, then after that that the company retrench I went to, uh storekeeper dekat #alfa laval# singapore private limited ah


that one I work until I retire lah, #alfa laval# I work around uh twenty seven years ah dalam tu dua puluh tujuh lah


oh because the company I've been working [kan] kat kat itu uh, then err I I stick sampai lama lah err because dia punya management pun bagus ah


while no doubt dia they change I think more than five MD ah cause every five years dia akan tukar [kan]


their machine every everytime that eh


learn macam belajar barang barang baru ah


ah katakan ah three in one [kan] dia dia akan bikin become one one to one machine, ah, err macam ada sludge ada oil ada water, the they become into one, then uh kalau sekarang punya machine


err dia akan apa uh, uh, and service which nowadays, ah the the machine very err


err the bowl we call the bowl lah separator bowl, ah sledgehammer, yes yes more than I think uh that one is more than ten KG uh, ah one time because they must lock very tight


but nowadays don't it they just use the allen key, they they tight with allen key then they can run already (hmm) ya ya after that uh a lot of companies, uh make a what order ah ah after they they change the the style of the


the machine ah, much easier and portable last time very big, uh then they have to use err what


, , ah, oh gitu maybe easier lah I think ya when they use macam manual ke apa [kan]


ya they ah they call macam , they use one time one time uh I mean one day can finish last time we have to wait this we have to wait that, [kan] as long nowadays the safety safety punya apa issue okay okay jadi can do the job already


macam safety ah,


I tak nak duduk ah kayu Balau ya the more the water they touch water the more stronger lah,

when when was it


june or one week before election, (mmhmm), so how are you


(mmhmm), (mmhmm)


pack <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> #wu eh bo eh#


did you try the marie Kondo style, , okay, but <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> marie Kondo style <mandarin>其实不错的:qi shi bu cuo de</mandarin> right


ya, serious


oh, but okay lah <mandarin>我比较:wo bi jiao</mandarin> Atas <mandarin>一点我:yi dian wo</mandarin> <mandarin>我用的是:wo yong de shi</mandarin> sealy, , because <mandarin>一个很好的:yi ge hen hao de</mandarin> bed


is literally I have three pillows and then, ya


it's all from err <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> frame <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> it comes together but <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> maybe made in china lor, I don't think it's sealy brand <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> bed frame lah ah but it just comes together


with <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> sealy bed, uh


bed frame, [orh]


germany !wow!, oh, how far err but I mean like so far so good


[orh] <mandarin>你有没有在那边跳一下:ni you mei you zai na bian tiao yi xia</mandarin> test, so <mandarin>你现在是睡:ni xian zai shi shui</mandarin> without <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> bed frame, so <mandarin>你现在是睡:ni xian zai shi shui</mandarin> without <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> bed frame, [orh] okay okay


ah, oh, oh okay okay


there's another brand call what noa, but what makes you decide on origin rather than noa


[orh], ya, actually <mandarin>这样想想一下我很想有一点:zhe yang xiang xiang yi xia wo hen xiang you yi dian</mandarin> Lugi hor <mandarin>因为我买了四千块:yin wei wo mai le si qian kuai</mandarin> everything


ya my bed plus my bed frame cost four thousand dollars, , I know right


ya I also think so, okay lah be good okay bed, don't fail on me, mine this one is


err <mandarin>八百五十:ba bai wu shi</mandarin> thread count, one set <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> but <mandarin>因为这个这个是:yin wei zhe ge zhe ge shi</mandarin> err


what's their famous brand called, pierre cardin, so <mandarin>我用那个:wo yong na ge</mandarin> hotel collection <mandarin>的:de</mandarin>


bed sheet plus <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> pillow <mandarin>你摸我觉得因为那个:ni mo wo jue de yin wei na ge</mandarin> pierre cardin <mandarin>的是九百九十:de shi jiu bai jiu shi</mandarin> thread count, ya so <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> ya <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> not bad lor


then <mandarin>你你买的是什么:ni ni mai de shi shen me</mandarin> brand, 哈


(mmhmm)


, ah, bed sheet !huh!


[orh]


okay lah, okay okay, (hmm) at least <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> promo <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> not bad lor


life is as such ya life is as such


, you bought courses literally, how many


serious, subsidies lah, oh


ah


then what kind of course do you take, ya lah true


, [orh], (mmhmm)


skillsfuture credit, ah, not bad


because, that's why <mandarin>我在想要不要去用那个或者是拿来做别的东西:wo zai xiang yao bu yao qu yong na ge huo zhe shi na lai zuo bie de dong xi</mandarin> because I don't know whether I want to go into training, or I want to do something else like corp comm, but corporate comms


you need experience, and, ya <mandarin>我就是:wo jiu shi</mandarin> I have to start from the bottom <mandarin>而且我也要有:er qie wo ye yao you</mandarin> connection


ya then recently, I also applied I mean like I tried applying jobs online like LinkedIn


jobstreet, but LinkedIn, so let's see how whether they reply me or not, but that one that I applied is something like a travel manager


something like that I cannot remember the full name by the way, all these trips for their workers, err google, google or facebook


I don't know whether is it I cannot remember but I applied, ya lor then recently I was, reading this book from this guy that I told you about


called kelvin, #kelvin seetoh# and #jonathan ang#, ya <mandarin>因为我觉得他们两个真的是很厉害:yin wei wo jue de ta men liang ge zhen de shi hen li hai</mandarin> you know both of them actually are below thirty, but they started their own company like maybe three years back


so this kelvin guy like, before he turn thirty I think he is already a multi millionaire, okay <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> he's from a very humble background, so <mandarin>他就是像我们这样啦:ta jiu shi xiang wo men zhe yang la</mandarin> middle class but then then again err when he was studying he was actually a NA student normal acad


so <mandarin>他就觉得他这个:ta jiu jue de ta zhe ge</mandarin> it's very interesting lah so


he started at, seventeen eighteen


ya so, very inspiring lah I mean for, young adult like him, and he's holding classes now, thousand five sing dollars


ya, and he has a lot of, he has a lot of insights to a lot of , I would say the market but <mandarin>他做比较多:ta zuo bi jiao duo</mandarin> growth investing


it's it's not possible ya and then he has Zoom classes but


I don't really have that, maybe it's for me I don't have that assurance that, ya because they are there mah they cannot run away mah so <mandarin>就问:jiu wen</mandarin> lor <mandarin>问到我懂:wen dao wo dong</mandarin> lor so this is what I like lah sort of lah ya and then <mandarin>他会有比较多:ta hui you bi jiao duo</mandarin> interaction


so it it you can have like a group mate then <mandarin>你们自己做你们自己的:ni men zi ji zuo ni men zi ji de</mandarin> presentation <mandarin>为什么你们哦觉得这个:wei shen me ni men o jue de zhe ge</mandarin> company <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> invest like maybe in ten years' time, err it will grow like fifty percent hundred percent hundred twenty percent ah why why do you think so then you can discuss about


err or <mandarin>他的老板他的:ta de lao ban ta de</mandarin> management <mandarin>是谁:shi shui</mandarin> CEO <mandarin>是谁:shi shui</mandarin> err <mandarin>有没有赚钱看他们的:you mei you zhuan qian kan ta men de</mandarin> profit P&L <mandarin>看他们的:kan ta men de</mandarin> assets <mandarin>看他们的:kan ta men de</mandarin> book duration you know there's a lot of things that


ya <mandarin>所以真的是去读:suo yi zhen de shi qu du</mandarin> but <mandarin>我觉得现在:wo jue de xian zai</mandarin> is a good time, ya


ya,


ya, ya <mandarin>我觉得应该是没有什么:wo jue de ying gai shi mei you shen me</mandarin> subsidies <mandarin>不可以:bu ke yi</mandarin> subsidise <mandarin>的啦他的:de la ta de</mandarin> course, , I don't think so it's under the skillsfuture


ya lor so we'll see lah, you know


like when I know the know how


ya that's what I think also, or maybe because I cannot perform then they no point they pay me basic because I'll get basic pay mah


because they have everything they want to make sure that you succeed, ya so they have all the platforms and they have a I think mentor useful or not I'm not sure but


我 觉得, it's much easier than we learn our own lah


that one I'm not so sure but ya if you buy like a life, insurance


I don't mind <mandarin>去考试:qu kao shi</mandarin> because you need to take exam, adrian <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> housing err property agent property ya property


but, it's not easy


property agent hor, oh


the one err the HDB behind lavender, where's the place you do passport, lavender lavender, err


you know the #tai hwa# very famous #tai hwa# #bak chor mee#, ya the old HDB lah, so my brother wanted to buy something that is within his budget lah


ya so <mandarin>看找到:kan zhao dao</mandarin> eve but then then again there's a lot of like because old house mah <mandarin>它就很多:ta jiu hen duo</mandarin> issue 吗 so like maybe like <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> issue that my brother face was, the government want to renovate HDB want to renovate the toilet


then the I think HDB may be sent a letter to my brother say that oh you need to pay so my brother was kind of pissed off it's seven hundred it's not that my brother cannot pay it's just my brother don't want to pay because it's not


he didn't he didn't he wasn't staying there at the moment of time, ya so my brother say it should be paid by the previous owner


err sad to say being racist has indian, so ya so err not lot of people are very keen lah on that house but my brother doesn't mind, because my brother is fine, then just that there's like <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> minor <mandarin>的东西:de dong xi</mandarin> that


so <mandarin>我哥哥就叫:wo ge ge jiu jiao</mandarin> eve


before he signed the contract right he already state that, they have to pay the thing and then she didn't check, so in a way she's not very responsible lah like she didn't check but then she told my brother that oh ya it's already been paid


ya because my brother is also a property agent part time ya but then he hasn't practised for a long time, ya, but then then again old house <mandarin>就有那种:jiu you na zhong</mandarin> problem lor


like people dragging the chair, ya


forty years forty plus years, so <mandarin>他去到:ta qu dao</mandarin> office fifteen minutes


err two bedroom it's a it's a three bedroom flat, ah <mandarin>一个厕所而已:yi ge ce suo er yi</mandarin> lor <mandarin>所以:suo yi</mandarin> err, I don't know


你 你 就是 要 就是 要 bear with all these all these things because


then <mandarin>你就要做多那种:ni jiu yao zuo duo na zhong</mandarin> maintenance lor, ya, for since since when since after chinese new year


so ya he has been complaining lah to my mum and I and then my dad also


you cannot blame them you see because they're old and, ya, and then <mandarin>老人就是比较:lao ren jiu shi bi jiao</mandarin> #guai lan# <mandarin>一点:yi dian</mandarin> lor, ya, but I mean it's it's it's in them mah how do you change them you cannot change them you have to


adapt to it right ya then <mandarin>我就跟我哥哥讲你:wo jiu gen wo ge ge jiang ni</mandarin> Bo Pian lor, ya, so, I don't know


I have no idea, unless <mandarin>他这么:ta zhe me</mandarin> Heng <mandarin>他要:ta yao</mandarin> en bloc <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> lor, which I think it's totally impossible


(hmm) <mandarin>除非:chu fei</mandarin> (hmm), (hmm)


oh


[orh], but then <mandarin>那个屋子那他的屋子会比较大间吗:na ge wu zi na ta de wu zi hui bi jiao da jian ma</mandarin> when they give it to them


(hmm), oh !wah! then not bad leh


ah, oh, top up ah oh


(hmm)


oh, actually <mandarin>不错:bu cuo</mandarin> hor, eh <mandarin>可是你妈妈现在那个家不是新的:ke shi ni ma ma xian zai na ge jia bu shi xin de</mandarin> lah it's not a brand new oh !wah! <mandarin>她厉害:ta li hai</mandarin> hor


is it expensive, okay leh for our three err two bedroom right three bedroom HDB


three room but two bedroom lah oh <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> okay, right


ya, ah, exposed, oh


oh okay okay


oh like that like very convenient lor


but it's not far lah, ah, oh, okay leh


how how old is the HDB, oh, (hmm), ya


, but <mandarin>你妈妈不错嘞很有眼见他还觉得他可以:ni ma ma bu cuo lei hen you yan jian ta hai jue de ta ke yi</mandarin> en bloc, only twelve


oh okay, oh okay okay, ya


but <mandarin>他靠近:ta kao jin</mandarin> #tiong bahru# mah, ah


ah, Sentosa, ah


convenient ya, I think it's just getting used to it lah, if not


sixth avenue <mandarin>也是很远:ye shi hen yuan</mandarin> what there's nothing <mandarin>没有小贩中心什么都没有:mei you xiao fan zhong xin shen me dou mei you</mandarin> what but people still buy the house there, ya so I think, is the probability is, affordable versus convenience <mandarin>那个那个:na ge na ge</mandarin> you must find like the balance ah ya <mandarin>很像:hen xiang</mandarin> charlene hor <mandarin>她买:ta mai</mandarin> stars of kovan


then <mandarin>她有:ta you</mandarin> heartland mall <mandarin>那边:na bian</mandarin> then <mandarin>他的前面有:ta de qian mian you</mandarin> lola's cafe, ah <mandarin>还有那个那个:hai you na ge na ge</mandarin> #nasi lemak# Punggol #nasi lemak#


then <mandarin>我就讲:wo jiu jiang</mandarin> because she bought that place right


then but over there the rental is good is so much better because of the location also quite good and then there's food wise


maybe <mandarin>七百四十五:qi bai si shi wu</mandarin> ah something like that it's only like four five thousand difference, and she has a higher floor, ya then bigger area, ah


I knew it


ah, it's supposed to be like a commercial mixed, err condo those kind ya


ya but then then again, ya <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> competition


ya so it's very difficult to sell next time, ya so <mandarin>那时我的:na shi wo de</mandarin> batch girl Klish, so she brought me so she say how stars at kovan and


here, can take one bus okay lah maybe I change another bus but it's at the same bus stop to change lah then <mandarin>靠近我妈妈家第二这里靠近:kao jin wo ma ma jia di er zhe li kao jin</mandarin> orchard road


ya east side maybe take a longer time


other than that <mandarin>我觉得很:wo jue de hen</mandarin> convenient <mandarin>而且这里很安静:er qie zhe li hen an jing</mandarin> which I love it


like when it's ready because bright hill station, which is just there like, three minutes, ya


then <mandarin>我才可以卖:wo cai ke yi mai</mandarin> ya, like <mandarin>这里的:zhe li de</mandarin> rental I think max, maybe two thousand, ya whereas charlene <mandarin>的可以:de ke yi</mandarin> rent up to two point two


(hmm), that's what she was telling me, ya she asked Klish to help her to rent, rent uh then <mandarin>我要住哪里:wo yao zhu na li</mandarin> , Klish


(hmm) <mandarin>因为他是做:yin wei tao shi zuo</mandarin> justco mah <mandarin>谁要谁要找:shui yao shui yao zhao</mandarin> office space <mandarin>现在每个:xian zai mei ge</mandarin> everybody work from home


now is really a, it's really difficult time, it's everywhere, so


find something that you can, do it for a long time, ya


and then <mandarin>现在还会:xian zai hai hui</mandarin> undercut, actually maybe you are worth five K they'll tell you oh I'll give you four K, ya then you take it or leave it lor, ya so, ya <mandarin>我也是这样子觉得:wo ye shi zhe yang zi jue de</mandarin> so ya lor


there's a lot of things to ponder lah, then <mandarin>又要又这样多:you yao you zhe yang duo</mandarin> commitment, if I don't have any commitment I think it's very easy


she's a crew lah, oh okay


so what if darlie is cheaper by thirty cents you will buy darlie


colgate <mandarin>不错的我一直在用:bu cuo de wo yi zhi zai yong</mandarin> colgate, ah <mandarin>比较便宜:bi jiao pian yi</mandarin> mah, okay leh


it's colgate toothbrush but <mandarin>他是:ta shi</mandarin> charcoal <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> and then <mandarin>他是那个:ta shi na ge</mandarin> err <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> bristol <mandarin>的他不是不是那个:de ta bu shi bu shi na ge</mandarin> you know you get what I mean ya ah ya so <mandarin>我觉得洗了:wo jue de xi le</mandarin> it's good for your gums


that's why <mandarin>你看我们现在给我去一趟:ni kan wo men xian zai gei wo qu yi tang</mandarin> overseas any supermarket <mandarin>我都会:wo dou hui</mandarin> appreciate, now even if I have a chance to go supermarket I'll be very happy


ya grocery shopping


is gone, I haven't do anything fruitful actually for this year nothing


like what I I really don't know what I did which is fruitful for twenty twenty, I haven't do anything before COVID start like nothing


my my annual leave is all gone now, I have annual leave in august because I need to clear it all already


I didn't manage to get any end of the year, so can you imagine like august which is like this month end of this month I'm claiming all my annual leave, through channel news asia


ya, serious


ya <mandarin>圣淘沙:sheng tao sha</mandarin> lor that's the best bet coney island


thanks hiking okay, (hmm), like not in singapore, I like to do it overseas I don't like to do it in singapore <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> overseas hor


ah


so boring, different walks of life right


!wah!, oh my god so heart-wrenching


endure all these


it's about (hmm)


what's your favourite station


(hmm)


different kind of service


I think <mandarin>是我们的:shi wo men de</mandarin> EQ how to handle patients that are naughty like <mandarin>不要吃药的每次跑不见的或者每次要:bu yao chi yao de mei ci pao bu jian de huo zhe mei ci yao</mandarin> complain <mandarin>的不要冲凉的:de bu yao chong liang de</mandarin> you know even though I'm not like a nurse but I can totally imagine like <mandarin>用我自己的想象去想那个坏蛋的:yong wo zi ji de xiang xiang qu xiang na ge huai dan de</mandarin> err then <mandarin>你要去抓它:ni yao qu zhua ta</mandarin> then <mandarin>你要怎样哄他:ni yao zen yang hong ta</mandarin> it just because I felt that all <mandarin>这些老人:zhe xie lao ren</mandarin> most of them I think is more mostly elderly right


neglected, oh <mandarin>他的你们的那个:ta de ni men de na ge</mandarin> room <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> TV


C class <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> TV <mandarin>都不可以装:dou bu ke yi zhuang</mandarin> ah, oh my god


ah then like during COVID <mandarin>他们可以去那些楼下走走不可以:ta men ke yi qu nei xie lou xia zou zou bu ke yi</mandarin> right then <mandarin>他们只可以在他们的:ta men zhi ke yi zai ta men de</mandarin> ward, oh my god


!aww! <mandarin>这样很可怜:zhe yang hen ke lian</mandarin> eh, but <mandarin>现在只有两个:xian zai zhi you liang ge</mandarin> can go up at one time mah


ah that's what I heard also


just scared that just in case there's one that Kena then will spread, (hmm)


but everybody is here for a living mah <mandarin>对吗:dui ma</mandarin> even thought as much as our a lot of singaporean always


say oh we hire too many foreigner but then there again <mandarin>谁要做:shui yao zuo</mandarin> ya <mandarin>没有人要做谁要做:mei you ren yao zuo shui yao zuo</mandarin> build houses <mandarin>谁要做:shui yao zuo</mandarin> construction worker <mandarin>谁要做:shui yao zuo</mandarin> cleaner <mandarin>没有人要做谁要做:mei you ren yao zuo shui yao zuo</mandarin> nurses new <mandarin>没有人要做:mei you ren yao zuo</mandarin> so


it's a nursing degree or, oh there's a degree I thought normally after poly you can, oh okay okay


I think it's getting better


(hmm), they are not engaging right


which is the graduate lah


but they start from the same, but this is how it works everywhere in singapore mah


this is how


diploma holder and degree holder, they they're paying you for the years to study actually I I think so but then then again


I think that it would just be, the initial years after that, if you are good means you are good it's just like a stepping stone <mandarin>这样子:zhe yang zi</mandarin> ya


that's why a lot people rather do sales lor, so that's the thing


no experience they always tell us err, err you have no experience why should I pay you this amount, then after that I will just tell them, sometimes it's not really about being experienced or not


sometimes it's about how you handle situation, pay <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> a certain standard, why should you pay me at what a junior exec is paying is is is asking for


so, but well, it is as such and, it's really not up to us to, decipher but


ya, alright end of conversation, I think it's very hard for us not to overlap, ya I tried but <mandarin>我们讲话没有讲很:wo men jiang hua mei you jiang hen</mandarin> overlap <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> like (hmm) ah oh ya <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> okay what so so err <mandarin>怎样:zen yang</mandarin> save ah let me let me


ya, (oo)


june, ya june lor, very fast hor, okay, err

oh, okay ya <mandarin>因为我有看到:yin wei wo you kan dao</mandarin> like <mandarin>我又想说要买一个:wo you xiang shuo yao mai yi ge</mandarin> like there's something similar like this like because I bought from origin right then origin


, they have this err so called like like mattress err frame but the thing is <mandarin>他没有那个:ta mei you na ge</mandarin> like err


uh germany, ya but I think manufactured in singapore or something like that that's why they have the hundred and twenty days trial like if I really don't like it I can actually return it any time


so far so good eh I I really think the because it's form foam plus spring, ya the the mattress is on the floor lor


ya which I


I mean <mandarin>床跟:chuang gen</mandarin> bed frame <mandarin>没有分别:mei you fen bie</mandarin> what, [orh] I don't know I I


ya lor, five nine nine, five nine nine , everything is everything everything included


ya <mandarin>真的很便宜:zhen de hen pian yi</mandarin> anyway you can like trial mah <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> <mandarin>你可以睡到爽爽然后你不要了你就跟他讲:ni ke yi shui dao shuang shuang ran hou ni bu yao le ni jiu gen ta jiang</mandarin> okay I want I don't want, yes they will dispose it lah or they will donate it that's what they say lah that's what they claim


, actually I'm comparing <mandarin>他们两个:ta men liang ge</mandarin> and then after that <mandarin>我在想:wo zai xiang</mandarin> !aiya! probably, it's the same thing just that they change the name I don't know, just price lor


noa <mandarin>好像是多两百:hao xiang shi duo liang bai</mandarin> so seven nine nine


, okay lah but I <mandarin>如果你:ru guo ni</mandarin> but <mandarin>如果你真的喜欢:ru guo ni zhen de xi huan</mandarin> then I I I mean <mandarin>这种是:zhe zhong shi</mandarin> good investment <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> can last you for at least twenty good years you know


but okay the thing is right <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I bought good expensive bed sheet also


okay err from what brand


ah


bed sheet, (oo) okay


那个 is 不错, , err, 哈


uh H hygge uh hygge is it is it like <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> danish way of saying it H U G G E, G G E, uh it's not a danish brand <mandarin>就是他是个:jiu shi ta shi ge</mandarin> online brand and then <mandarin>它是用那种:ta shi yong na zhong</mandarin> tencel


and err even though <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> thread count <mandarin>不是很多:bu shi hen duo</mandarin> is like five hundred or something but <mandarin>他就是很:ta jiu shi hen</mandarin> soft <mandarin>他真的很:ta zhen de hen</mandarin> soft I don't know <mandarin>他用什么:ta yong shen me</mandarin> material <mandarin>好像什么:hao xiang shen me</mandarin> bamboo <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> don't know <mandarin>什么东西:shen me dong xi</mandarin> bamboo fibre <mandarin>还是什么:hai shi shen me</mandarin> then is really very soft and it's really good like


[orh]


(hmm) <mandarin>是贵是贵:shi gui shi gui</mandarin> but


err, like <mandarin>我讲:wo jiang</mandarin> lor I mean I I okay <mandarin>我现在做那些:wo xian zai zuo nei xie</mandarin> like on, err <mandarin>什么啊:shen me a</mandarin> doing some LinkedIn, like courses lor ya just to upgrade <mandarin>我自己:wo zi ji</mandarin> lah I mean I bought courses from udemy as well so udemy that I think err the last week of july


I bought ya, I bought courses, ya but <mandarin>不会贵才:bu hui gui cai</mandarin> err <mandarin>二十多块因为它:er shi duo kuai yin wei ta</mandarin> on discount like nine eighty percent discount


it's not subsidies it's just that <mandarin>他刚刚好有:ta gang gang hao you</mandarin> promo then when <mandarin>他有:ta you</mandarin> promo <mandarin>它真的是很便宜因为:ta zhen de shi hen pian yi yin wei</mandarin> usual usual course is like maybe hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars then , but this udemy right when they have discount right is like uh it can go up to like a good you know err


twenty dollars or like maybe the course I bought was like eighteen dollars ya <mandarin>真的很划算哦:zhen de hen hua suan o</mandarin> then <mandarin>我觉得可以让你:wo jue de ke yi rang ni</mandarin> like upgrade then <mandarin>又有:you you</mandarin> certification you can put it into your resume lah <mandarin>我觉得是不错:wo jue de shi bu cuo</mandarin> lor


err I bought uh recently the digital marketing because this is what is trending now mah so I I decided to buy the digital marketing one then err I also bought one on ah instagram like one O one like how to market yourself on instagram


haven't <mandarin>读:du</mandarin> leh, but ya <mandarin>我就觉得说:wo jiu jue de shuo</mandarin> okay lah I mean like it's something that I like lah so you know err it also can add in into the, the company the <mandarin>他要的那个:ta yao de na ge</mandarin> points lor because they want us to go for upgrading mah ya so I thought okay lah just add on lor


err so far <mandarin>我只是买了这两个:wo zhi shi mai le zhe liang ge</mandarin> course <mandarin>还没:hai mei</mandarin> start because I was busy with the care giver <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> course ya because you have to attend all the e-learning then after that you will have to


I will go for the practical which I did so I went for the BCLS and the AED training so now I'm certified, which is good because like err, err the thing is you okay you were supposed to be like


err yes if you have it then you don't need to go for it but because I don't have it so I had to go for it so err you can use skill what skill credit is it ya that one ya so I use that one lor to to subsidise


then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> eh, [orh] go lah


ya, 不是 很难, okay <mandarin>你可:ni ke</mandarin> to be honest <mandarin>如果你要做:ru guo ni yao zuo</mandarin> corp comm <mandarin>的话你就要:de hua ni jiu yao</mandarin> like start from the


true, ya


[orh] but what company again


(hmm)


, oh okay


!wow!


, oh also


, ya I mean <mandarin>如果你现在没有东西做:ru guo ni xian zai mei you dong xi zuo</mandarin> then <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> it's good to just upgrade lor I mean whatever that interest you, ya you should go and you know ya do it lah I mean if you think that this is something that


will benefit you then why not I mean at least you have some resources lah <mandarin>你有那个:ni you na ge</mandarin> worksheet and all that it's just that it's tough lah because you have to do it by yourself of course when you have the person there maybe it's easier for you to learn from the person there lor


I don't think <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> under the skillsfuture


ya ya ya, [orh]


correct <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> like my I mean my insurance friend tell me that ya once you buy life insurance they can still get profit lah after few years still managed but of course the percentage lesser as every year goes by


[orh] ya property


you know the


are you sure, really but <mandarin>她做得很好:ta zuo de hen hao</mandarin> leh like <mandarin>他他真的是:ta ta zhen de shi</mandarin> like one of the top rookie leh like in in her, (hmm) in ERA like she's doing well then I think she's herself err she bought like maybe one or two property under her own name


<mandarin>也是做:ye shi zuo</mandarin> side side hustle lor like <mandarin>就是也是:jiu shi ye shi</mandarin> property agent but <mandarin>他应该是一个:ta ying gai shi yi ge</mandarin> teacher like <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> PE teacher or something like that at all


Kallang uh, lavender, oh


err, I don't know


[orh]


correct


ya that's true, ya correct ah


oh


then <mandarin>你有:ni you</mandarin> err like I mean in the end <mandarin>怎么办:zen me ban</mandarin> like what did she


(oo)


oh okay


(mmhmm)


how how many year already


how much is their house, how many how many room, their usual lah


(hmm) ya they couldn't hear also lah,


(hmm) accommodate lor, ya that's true, but okay lah I mean like forty years old is quite old lah then does he wants to buy something else after


(hmm) no but okay unless what they do is they they en bloc like in front or behind like my house here lor you know depot road right it used to be like, all the houses are in the front so they err they err they en bloc so they they they tear down then after that right err you you can the amber horses are behind the house


so it means like okay so all the houses are in front right then after that they en bloc then they put the, the people into the new houses then after (hmm) then after that they tear down then then again they built and then some more still got BTO, because the the houses are definitely err taller and higher


ah henderson road <mandarin>那边:na bian</mandarin> which is also very near which three bus stops away, (hmm)


so to be honest right <mandarin>他一定会有:ta yi ding hui you</mandarin> extra <mandarin>因为他们:yin wei ta men</mandarin> build <mandarin>到三十多楼现在:dao san shi duo lou xian zai</mandarin> nowadays so, yes <mandarin>他们有那个啊所以:ta men you na ge a suo yi</mandarin> so for owners right of that estate right for en bloc one they usually get to choose first but of course as usual lah <mandarin>一定是有:yi ding shi you</mandarin> ballot systems or whoever come first but <mandarin>就是这些:jiu shi zhe xie</mandarin> owner for en bloc one they will have the chance to choose they can also choose to upgrade <mandarin>因为你现在四房:yin wei ni xian zai si fang</mandarin> then <mandarin>你要换去五房也可以:ni yao huan qu wu fang ye ke yi</mandarin> maybe <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> top up a bit lor then err for err like let's say for people who let's say there's leftover


usually <mandarin>他们会:ta men hui</mandarin> like let's say for example <mandarin>你这个房:ni zhe ge fang</mandarin> let's say for example <mandarin>你讲说这个屋子比较贵啦:ni jiang shuo zhe ge wu zi bi jiao gui la</mandarin> or something like that that that area right <mandarin>他们会给你:ta men hui gei ni</mandarin> like let's say for your also <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> valuation <mandarin>比较高他一定会还你钱的像我妈妈这个屋子:bi jiao gao ta yi ding hui hai ni qian de xiang wo ma ma zhe ge wu zi</mandarin> right this four room flat right when she when en bloc right you can either choose four room to four room then she will get the money and then the extra money is up to you you can actually use it for your renovation or you can just keep it or whatever or if not then you know you can buy the five room which maybe top you up maybe a few maybe ten thousand more only ya because <mandarin>他有给你多一个:ta you gei ni duo yi ge</mandarin> I think at least <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> hundred or two hundred K


because the like you say lah valuation, (hmm), #telok blangah# in front of #telok blangah# MRT


(hmm), three hundred over K only


it's a err ya it's a three room but to a three I mean they called it three room flat but two bed, I think they have two toilets, ah


I think so, like okay the thing is, the previous owner


okay there's no room so it's like a like a walk in that kind of like err like studio
