ya it makes sense ah <mandarin>他都写了十:ta dou xie le shi</mandarin> he wrote ten novels for this series right and he didn't include any <mandarin>狗血:gou xue</mandarin> romance why would he suddenly do it for the drama if it's not under pressure from other parties


(mmhmm)


for what, ,


they did a hundred eighty like no come back , okay I don't know lah I mean money can make a lot of people seem different okay I'm not I'm not criticising the author's character I'm just making


not making assumptions ah I'm just proposing that that could have happened, ya


uh yes wait wait ah, okay lah never mind it's like we'll see how it goes, !huh! he took a ten year break between book what eight and nine


maybe book eight and ten, !huh! book eight and ten oh because book nine was not written by him


oh but is it recognised by the author as a official, sequel to his series like part of his series or is it just something that the fans are like okay we call this book nine but, technically the author doesn't see as book nine


ya I think like most authors they have too much pride they probably wouldn't have accepted it as book nine if it's not written by themselves


series right, , ya, okay lah, so far what I've heard from him is not bad and the show in general I feel it's not bad like all the graphics and everything but there are some some elements right I feel very, confused, if you don't want you mean like is it supposed to be horror is it supposed to be all backed by scientific logic


on one hand right they have the everytime something scary happens they have the flickering lights and then the the the, the dolls moving around and then I'll be thinking oh maybe this is uh like a supernatural element and then the next thing they will show that oh this all doll all of these dolls are controlled by


ya some underwater shellfish thingy so I'll be like oh okay so it's not supposed to be supernatural, but then, then what what what happened to all the flicking flickering lights in the in the tombs right I can still understand you say it's candles then they had that don't know what you know everything is a illusion background but when they brought the <mandarin>木:mu</mandarin> the the the #jia ba gong zhu# to the


they brought it up right and then they kept it in like the room then the what what's his name the henchman of the second uncle, he was like moving around and then the lights flicker then I was like


but <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> china doesn't censor <mandarin>鬼戏:gui xi</mandarin> what,


, like the background story is the


, something that they cannot show on screen


no this one still okay the <mandarin>郑湖:zheng hu</mandarin> one really cannot make it like what the hell they change the entire plot from like supernatural ghost right to to what aliens ah what BS is that I cannot remember


time travelling is very scientific okay, , I'm dead


I'm dead, then <mandarin>什么我把他养大成人:shen me wo ba ta yang da cheng ren</mandarin> ah


we'll teach him which script to which scripts that he should <mandarin>接:jie</mandarin> so that he doesn't keep , ya, , okay lah never mind


me sad, , ya, okay lah


you know that day uh my my my err cause I'm I told you I'm not really feeling well then on weekends right, the food in the company canteen is free, but as a result it's also really really sucky


so that day normally on weekends we will my colleague will drive us out somewhere to eat but that day was raining very heavily so we have to eat in the canteen and the only thing they had right what some like indian curry thingy and, fried deep fried fish ah something like that then I was just at it and I was like oh shit if I eat this I'm gonna get sick so I was like screw it lah err I just wanna <mandarin>泡一杯:pao yi bei</mandarin> milo and eat my biscuits and that's all I ate for the entire day until I got home at nine thirty PM


what was my brunch then everyone was looking at me with judgy eyes like !huh! you just wanna eat that then I'm like, what's the alternative can you show me the alternative


I think if I eat the indian curry and the <mandarin>炸鱼:zha yu</mandarin> right I I don't need to go to work the next day already, oh it's okay, #zhao yun nan# survived so


so I also will I know I know I'm fine ah ah I'm fine I'm used to it I'm used to it it's fine,


, ya ya totally


the time that they're supposed to leave is eight ten but most of the buses will already be there at eight and then you will leave early, so sometimes I will be reviewing things in the floor then I don't want to <mandarin>留给明天:liu gei ming tian</mandarin> cause maybe I'm not on shift <mandarin>明天:ming tian</mandarin> then <mandarin>还要人家:hai yao ren jia</mandarin> follow up <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> on <mandarin>我的东西:wo de dong xi</mandarin> I will feel very Paiseh also right so <mandarin>我就硬硬要:wo jiu ying ying yao</mandarin> review <mandarin>完:wan</mandarin> lor sometimes seven fifty nine I still in the floor or even worse around around seven fifty <mandarin>你要出去的时候:ni yao chu qu de shi hou</mandarin> hor manufacturing <mandarin>进来找你:jin lai zhao ni</mandarin> eh got issue leh how ah got leak leh I'm like shit no can I handover to the whatever to the night on call person or whatever


manufacturing <mandarin>的为什么:de wei shen me</mandarin> it's my job to inform <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> shouldn't your your subordinates be telling you this why is it out to me to go and inform you of this event right and you're not even in the shift it that happened you are like the next shift


can or not ah don't know lah maybe will complain to the higher ups or something ah, oh ya my my line is breaking <mandarin>听不到你在讲什么:ting bu dao ni zai jiang shen me</mandarin>


, no lah cannot lah I mean have to be professional, ya oh well


is that something you want recorded , ya, I enjoy I sort of enjoy what I do but at the same time certain aspects of it is difficult


err err okay I think enjoy is too strong of a word I mean I don't hate what I do, and I think it is still acceptable to be earning a living this way it's just that


worsening my own eyesight I probably need a new pair of specs then I cannot claim medical benefits for the


for for, it's can leh I mean like if you're full time staff there's flexi, you can claim flex flexi but for us right the trainees we only have medical benefits so it's only for err doctor fees and dental


I don't <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> my uh department won't have a vacancy <mandarin>是不会有的:shi bu hui you de</mandarin> then uh


manufacturing wise normally right <mandarin>是会有:shi hui you</mandarin> vacancy but then cause recently <mandarin>还有那个:hai you na ge</mandarin> COVID <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> situation mah so at that point of time right there were a lot of err workers that will start overseas in like india malaysia or what not so they've no choice but to hire a lot of contractors and these contractors is covered for lah I think <mandarin>一年:yi nian</mandarin> or <mandarin>两年:liang nian</mandarin> so like in that case right


is <mandarin>刚刚好我们要:gang gang hao wo men yao</mandarin> end <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> programme <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> right <mandarin>他们不需要请人了:ta men bu xu yao qing ren le</mandarin> cause they already have, contractors to cover during this period, so, normally <mandarin>是可以请到:shi ke yi qing dao</mandarin> as in normally they will convert like


err people to manufacturing if I want really want to stay right normally I can apply for manufacturing and I we I'll be able to stay in the company but then in this case, they don't need people and I really like spoken to the people who are trainees that are assigned to manufacturing now so that day I was asking her so err <mandarin>他们有:ta men you</mandarin> like


then she's like <mandarin>我都在这边做了一年了:wo dou zai zhe bian zuo le yi nian le</mandarin> I really like know them so well so don't want anything to happen to them so I'm just gonna apply for another job or something


you mean the the girl I spoke to, she want , I mean <mandarin>我们都年轻:wo men dou nian qing</mandarin> what I mean <mandarin>大多数都是我们年轻人做这种工作的:da duo shu dou shi wo men nian qing ren zuo zhe zhong gong zuo de</mandarin> what, like I mean uh the the what's that ah, the turnover rate for this kind of job is quite high when you hit thirty right and you have your own family you won't want to shift anymore very tiring leh you think you think like you work night shift means that you get to sleep in the date is sleep in the day meh I I meet a lot of people who are like mothers in manufacturing then they are like <mandarin>我们已经要找机会:wo men yi jing yao zhao ji hui</mandarin> to like convert to office already so tough eh they you work err eight PM to eight AM then you go home mah but you still have kids you think they will care whether you are supposed to be sleeping during this time or not


don't have kids ah


yes yes yes ya a lot of people complain to me about that


(mmhmm), ah ya, ya ya exactly


exactly


oh okay


, ya,


what the heck, but I <mandarin>有时我是觉得我们老了:you shi wo shi jue de wo men lao le</mandarin> maybe I remember staying up a lot of nights in university studying for exams there was like the hell week right I think I told you before


about the exams being like, four consecutive days then it's just, go and take the exam go back to computer lab go back to computer lab to mark then after that go back to your dorm to shower go straight to exam venue go back to computer lab for four days straight


ya I just I just think about doing that now I'm like am I able to do it will I die I don't know now on the average right err if you don't count my off days ah the days that I have to work I will get a average of maybe five hours max of steep per day


ah maybe cause we are young lah and I'm a I'm a bit of a night owl by working day shift is a bit of a contradictory thing then, I don't know how my colleagues manage it but they usually managed to get about seven to eight hours sleep I'm just like how I cannot


<mandarin>我回来还要冲凉吃饭喂我的:wo hui lai hai yao chong liang chi fan wei wo de</mandarin> err cat <mandarin>喂我的:wei wo de</mandarin> hamster, then I need to use my phone for maybe one or two hours before I can sleep ,


, crash


, , ah, ah


how you handle man I cannot leh I think if I have to survive on three hours of sleep right, I would


, don't you like and some more okay but your shift pattern is what two day or three day consecutive, normally lah if you don't talk about OT


[orh] at most is three days eh


[orh] okay, [orh],


ya I I don't know how they do it, I thought MOM say cannot work so many hours eh it's a bullshit never mind never mind let's not go into that we


, oh


, oh <mandarin>麻烦:ma fan</mandarin> oh


ya , eh but then when you hen you work there right how they settle your meals


okay


and you are already at the warehouse, but do you have to pay the fee the delivery


oh okay, ah


but what what what is it usually maggie ah,


do the do the intermittent fasting it's all the rage nowadays


twenty five K !wow!, uh uh uh


, your muscles are like what muscles


, designs not much right, oh


ya I'm in the healthy okay I mean am I in the healthy BMI I'm almost in a healthy BMI range


I'm slightly under but the thing is I think that given my size right and, the BMI is not a very accurate depiction lah I think my bones are light which is why I'm lighter but my this size is okay one it's just that <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> muscle


I don't B BMI is not a accurate representation of what your size is supposed to be like just ignore it, oh ya derrick also mah derrick also not in the normal BMI range


ya ya definitely drink more milk when you're at that


, I'm I'm more worried about the fact that I'll probably get dementia at a young age, it's like very taxing it's so taxing, I'm like using my brain the whole day


maybe I'm not in the right field, oh, save more money


buy more insurance buy health insurance so that you can cover yourself, , so like I don't know I don't know lah


(mmhmm), ya I, SARS I don't remember much of it, temperature using the thermometer that's practically all I remember of it


did we did was there <mandarin>他们有:ta men you</mandarin> do they stop us from going to school I can't remember


(mmhmm), I think we were young and, (oo) impressionable is not the right word I think young and ignorant


to like what was going on ah probably in it impacted the adults a lot more than it impacted us, ya ya definitely ah the government were so more


chill back then ya I guess so you can put it that way, it wasn't as highly infectious,


but now it's like I clear my schedule also cannot go anywhere you go where you go Sentosa vacation ah, I have to cancel three trips leh I'm still mad about that my my japan trip then my KL trip then my Bali trip then what was it AirAsia <mandarin>他还不要:ta hai bu yao</mandarin> refund <mandarin>我还:wo hai</mandarin> send <mandarin>我一个什么:wo yi ge shen me</mandarin> email <mandarin>叫我什么:jiao wo shen me</mandarin> err


please use their new feature I'm like <mandarin>你的脸皮很厚:ni de lian pi hen hou</mandarin> can they don't do this , ya I my grad trip I went to Bali for a few days and I wouldn't say that I greatly enjoyed myself I wanted to go for a longer one so I was waiting for the rest of you to graduate so we can go together right but now that we've all graduated we can't go anywhere


the the good Gyoza right


that's in australia though,


, no or we go china then we see whether they have events events, ya all our fandoms so many man I need to go and watch the musical maybe like #gang zhi# err #ai gao# will be starring in some musical I don't know


I I wish ah I wish, does he have a lot of fan meets I don't think so right given his personality


, err I don't think will be so soon lah I think the earliest that we can probably travel again is probably, mid or late next year, which means we'll miss mary's graduation in australia sadly ah if she even have the graduation


ah ah yes, ah, ya ya ya, it's like that ah when I applied for my program also apparently if I don't give them the cert they're just going to give me the poly pay


no I okay okay can, , wait, no


, nowadays you must at least have a degree or it's like, what job are you gonna work as


, ya ya ya, I think a lot of them end up as like what grab food delivery drivers, I don't know or like grab grab uh grab food or delivery work I don't know what lah probably you can earn quite a bit


to tide you over this period


(mmhmm), , ya, then <mandarin>你就你就拿那个东西自己吃:ni jiu ni jiu na na ge dong xi zi ji chi</mandarin> then I lost my way


, forget it lah I I can recommend you another job apparently some of my classmates they went to


apply for like the position of a COVID tester I heard not bad leh the pay is like what twenty an hour or something, so it's like you do the COVID testing, but before you can qualify for this job right they will have they will make you go for the interview then they will give you a mask then they will spray something at you so if you can smell it then you are not eligible for the job


but if you cannot smell it means that the I think what it's trying to test is that the the mask fits you perfectly and it will protect you from any like COVID exposure


okay it's high risk lah it's high risk


oh, okay then better not risk it, (mmhmm)


ya same same like for me I work QA when the issue come in right really time sensitive is time sensitive one <mandarin>你一定要改掉他们的:ni yi ding yao gai diao ta men de</mandarin> or like sometimes you take on call right


you are always at work lah you feel like you are always at work, then like err there was one time I think there was a power trip or something


just OT the whole day you know, no lah not me lah my my colleague ah so <mandarin>你看你看你要:ni kan ni kan ni yao</mandarin> Heng Suay one Heng Suay one, ya, ya


off days okay I have not like cause my department have this thing whereby everyone has to do projects you have to constantly be doing projects on top of your normal routine work so in that case right even though they say oh we encourage you not to work on your off days please lah


I have to dial for meetings most of the time and you won't be able to claim anything one, ya ya so I I'm just saying but to be honest they're just complaints I still think that the company treat us quite well


I mean in this situation then, ya ya ya I think their treatment is not bad so okay lah <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> lah okay eh I think we reached on hour


ya okay I will do we just end together three key to one stop


, it registered twice, okay okay, , , so how's work


!aiyo! <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> shift hours ah <mandarin>现在不是还在:xian zai bu shi hai zai</mandarin> COVID


wait what you mean more effort they make you do more things now what the heck, !aiyo!


!aiyo!, !hais!


oh


, I think okay I think for now is still two weeks, but <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> COVID testing <mandarin>很麻烦:hen ma fan</mandarin> leh, ya


but the process is quite efficient because they actually managed to do it in five minutes as in the entire process ah like <mandarin>他去那个医院:ta qu na ge yi yuan</mandarin> then <mandarin>他们做了那个:ta men zuo le na ge</mandarin> testing then finish in like


five minutes,


ah, ah oh


oh yes, last time I went it was also it was like five to ten dollars I think because I got flu, yes and my flu is my flu was a bit bad lah but


<mandarin>我吃的那个药我就很快好了:wo chi de na ge yao wo jiu hen kuai hao le</mandarin> lor <mandarin>因为那个医生给我:yin wei na ge yi sheng gei wo</mandarin> like the very, you know the very heavy medicine I don't know what you call it the potent the potent meds ya because, I I I told him I got like some meds at home then like <mandarin>我吃不好吗:wo chi bu hao ma</mandarin> then after that <mandarin>他就给我那种:ta jiu gei wo na zhong</mandarin> really like knock me out the entire day type ya oh wait okay I I


I see so you've been just downing painkillers like no tomorrow, hello !aiyo!


Panadol extra <mandarin>不可以这样吃下去的:bu ke yi zhe yang chi xia qu de</mandarin> !aiyo!,


!hais!, uh, ya ya ya I have a job that might be at Tuas but my only issue with job is that I have to go to Tuas five times a week


transport is provided, at #chua chu kang# I think but, #chua chu kang# and lakeside


ya, exactly, ya, #chua chu kang# ah you have to get there by six forty five leh


!wah! okay okay uh around the same actually for me I might have to leave at like, uh <mandarin>第一天:di yi tian</mandarin> lah I will just leave at five forty five to try first then after that I will you know get the timing right


, <mandarin>是一个:shi yi ge</mandarin> uh healthcare products <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> company <mandarin>可是他还没有跟我讲那个名字:ke shi ta hai mei you gen wo jiang na ge ming zi</mandarin> is <mandarin>因为是:yin wei shi</mandarin> through agent <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> or healthcare products Y, ya ya ya


ya, oh


, !aiyo!, ya lor and you also cannot smuggle me illegally into it, (mmhmm)


!wow!, !walao!


ah


!wah!


, , !aiyo!


but <mandarin>你觉得你觉得你成功了吗:ni jue de ni jue de ni cheng gong le ma</mandarin> or is it the competence of the mid career switch guy, ,


, ya


ya that's very true


, , predecessor some more


every situation is different and but ya your job sounds pretty tough


what time can they call you and what time can they not call you like, they can call you anytime


!walao! eh !wah!, err <mandarin>二十四小时的:er shi si xiao shi de</mandarin> leh !aiyo!


, ya ya it's like a warehousing one then a lot of the job scope it actually overlaps with my previous job or uh the one at foodpanda, so


ya and then you have to what prepare what what warehouse report then all the all the


I think it's a contract actually because they said it's uh renewable month on month so , like


ya <mandarin>也是可以因为我虽然我有:ye shi ke yi yin wei wo sui ran wo you</mandarin> experience ah but


ya then, uh I have more confidence lah in terms of that and then when I go for the interview I'm pretty sure like, I will be able to do well but


<mandarin>只是如果有:zhi shi ru guo you</mandarin> like <mandarin>如果他们找到比我多:ru guo ta men zhao dao bi wo duo</mandarin> experience <mandarin>的人:de ren</mandarin> then that one I'm not sure because I've I only have less than one year of experience mah maybe around eight months


ya ya else, ya, no no no I just sent in my resume what yesterday, , but


, the, ya, the pay is okay lah , for this type of job is okay but it's not


it's not what I want, I mean obviously because <mandarin>我要的是:wo yao de shi</mandarin> at least three K mah, but this job , <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> situation <mandarin>的时候很难:de shi hou hen nan</mandarin> lah some more <mandarin>这个是:zhe ge shi</mandarin> uh


like every month we renew <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> so, for that type of flexibility I don't mind the lower pay because, like <mandarin>不过你不喜欢你就:bu guo ni bu xi huan ni jiu</mandarin> immediately next month <mandarin>走了:zou le</mandarin> ya ya but for this type of job


oh ya something like nine to six


I don't know, !wah!


ya you mean you want us everyday right <mandarin>你要我们多了一个多小时的工作给你:ni yao wo men duo le yi ge duo xiao shi de gong zuo gei ni</mandarin> !aiyo!


ya !hais!, !hais!


oh no then, !wah! <mandarin>你可能要:ni ke neng yao</mandarin> take whole day off leh, at this rate


ya, ya, !wah! then do you have to take grab back


I'm trying to see if I can write my cousins to come and get me with bubble tea, uh <mandarin>你你跟他讲:ni ni gen ta jiang</mandarin> ah I will pay you the I will pay you half the grab hitch price, come and fetch me


uh, not like you


poor unfortunate soul, ah


!wah!, err okay okay, think about it this way


!walao! then that's horrifying ya women <mandarin>做:zuo</mandarin> shift <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> mah so


!aiyo! <mandarin>为什么他们这样的:wei shen me ta men zhe yang de</mandarin> then <mandarin>我很不甘心:wo hen bu gan xin</mandarin>


ah, ya I feel pain for you, err but for me I don't know whether I work shift already like


it'll be worth it or not because , bio engineering


!wah! but from insurance like <mandarin>她的:ta de</mandarin> background <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> bio engineering <mandarin>他可以进去:ta ke yi jin qu</mandarin> meh


!wah! I want to see your face on straits times, no but if I see your face on straits time I wonder what's the reason


the only <mandarin>奖:jiang</mandarin> I want to win, is


let me worship you I haven't finish reading the the novel, neither have I


around there, okay, yes, well I mean either way we win because both series are not bad


yes, but I really, I really really really want to watch until that part where <mandarin>小哥回来了:xiao ge hui lai le</mandarin> you know, no as in


but after this right after they left


ya he got sent off to do a side mission, I also don't know may maybe right


ya then, , ya, or maybe another possibility is all along right <mandarin>小哥都知道:xiao ge dou zhi dao</mandarin> #wu xie# <mandarin>回来找他们的:hui lai zhao ta men de</mandarin> so he just go ahead was


and, no I'm just talking about the possibilities because


season two episode eight I'm caught up to the latest episode


ya I also hoped that there were more, I don't know, ya never mind


ya, exactly <mandarin>我的心很痛我的:wo de xin hen tong wo de</mandarin> #wu xie# uh I want them three all together again because the entire like how say the entire premise of the show like showing the friendship and the bonds and the brotherhood


is what draws people to this show it's not like some bull shitty romance you know, it's not the director you see is that script writer author


ya ya ya I think confirm


oh ya ya that's true maybe the poor script writer author since he is the author of the book right he got like steam rolled by the director and then after that


I don't know but


then you know lah the fans really Rabak


yes, and then, no come back <mandarin>你写什么我都要了:ni xie shen me wo dou yao le</mandarin> , ya then


but I think he really does love the series a lot then, like after he had the hiatus then he came back to write then he still want to <mandarin>填满全部的坑可是是填不满的:tian man quan bu de keng ke shi shi tian bu man de</mandarin> cause he dig too many holes for himself yes wait ya


ya, then he's like some, don't know oh my god he also take he also took a ten year break eh so it's exactly like his book


I I forgot already but my friend told me he took a ten year break between, maybe book eight and ten, actually, ah book nine hor <mandarin>另外个:ling wai ge</mandarin> author wrote for him leh I also don't understand why then they say that that other author was like


oh


the author sees it as book nine and the author recognised it yes, ya


ya


some shellfish thing


ya exactly I really feel like <mandarin>盗墓笔记:dao mu bi ji</mandarin> right there is an there really is, an element of supernatural behind it but


like like like the, ya I also not understand but ya <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> I heard right previous series I first series hor <mandarin>他们有那种宗旨:ta men you na zhong zong zhi</mandarin> is like a vampire or like you know


!hais!


, ya I also completely don't understand because they have so many double standards leh <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> on one hand ah <mandarin>那种仙侠都可以:na zhong xian xia dou ke yi</mandarin> on the other hand ah <mandarin>这种就要用科学来:zhe zhong jiu yao yong ke xue lai</mandarin> right oh my god what do they mean what do they want


exactly you know like five years in the future I'm going to make a time travelling machine and then, , ya


, no no we go back in time, and then we kidnap, our favourite actor when he was a baby, yes will feed him more food so he doesn't get so skinny


suffering, !aiya! but ya lor <mandarin>他整天他整天受苦的:ta zheng tian ta zheng tian shou ku de</mandarin> for every script


you know I'm sad for him too hello can you have a discerning eye hello can you like, okay we screamed at him for err not taking care of himself not eating enough whatever but


what about us


!wah!, but you're already sick and your body needs energy to work


but BB I don't want you to have <mandarin>胃痛:wei tong</mandarin> you know


but I also don't eat much like as in, I don't eat because like <mandarin>我有时候我做东西我做到我忘记吃:wo you shi hou wo zuo dong xi wo zuo dao wo wang ji chi</mandarin> lor it's like really like you will just focus until you like eh eh


ya, then it's just totally


!wah!


ya <mandarin>你你就跟那个:ni ni jiu gen na ge</mandarin> manufacturing <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>你的脑子有:ni de nao zi you</mandarin> leak ah you go away you go for the next shift person I'm not gonna talk to you anymore you go away


!wah! <mandarin>你们不可以:ni men bu ke yi</mandarin> just ignore him, maybe it's against the protocol but you you just like


, professionalism err professionalism sounds overrated man, ya I mean but I guess it's part and parcel of working life just like how I have to smile at my boss lor thinking in his brain you are disgusting


oh well err I mean I guess it's too late to step out now but ya, I'm sorry boss


ah okay lah I mean, as long as you kind of basically enjoy what you are doing


ya I mean obviously not lah but


[orh] I see I see


oh that's very nice but then again also not everyone is suitable for shift hours and she also might not want this job you know what I mean like


ya, !huh! she want ah, right ya


this is why, ya this is why I'm like no I'm not having kids number one and I also feel the pain of night shift because night shift right, even if other people don't demand your time like you know my mom right when I come back from night shift I'm like mum I very tired I'm going to sleep ah


ya then not just that right at every second because usually when I'm at home like she'll just keep like she'll keep knocking on my door when she needs me for something but that's when I'm in the middle of sleeping leh like and waiting for my night shift so like some more my shift <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> shift right is from eight AM to eight wait no


eight PM to eight thirty AM, by the time I settled in to sleep mah may ten plus eleven, then <mandarin>我只有:wo zhi you</mandarin> a few hours, ya like we both know the pain of shift ah then <mandarin>我只有:wo zhi you</mandarin> like <mandarin>几个:ji ge</mandarin> hours to sleep mah then <mandarin>还要被:hai yao bei</mandarin> interrupted


then <mandarin>吃什么饭:chi shen me fan</mandarin> then , ya ya I have no words to ya I I don't know how people handle shift work like full time because


my body clock only allows me to sleep three hours when I'm on night shift eh oh okay ya three hours and, ya three hours and, and I don't know some days right I can't sleep at all like that type of thing like


ya <mandarin>要死要活这样:yao si yao huo zhe yang</mandarin> then uh sometimes when they need extra people hor the agent <mandarin>还还要叫我:hai hai yao jiao wo</mandarin> eh err are you free to help out today ah another night shift then I'm like [orh] okay lor then <mandarin>我有一次我:wo you yi ci wo</mandarin> one week right <mandarin>我做:wo zuo</mandarin> five consecutive days of night shift


and then oh <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> OT very good because I got ten extra OT hours but, at the end ah of the five consecutive days of night shift <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> dead on the bed


ya ya ya that that is, that is life


ah I see I see, !wow! !wow! ya how

but <mandarin>我也不要睡觉:wo ye bu yao shui jiao</mandarin> so I can stay awake all night right like every energetic in the warehouse packing packing packing doing whatever then after that when I come home I'm just like, no I don't crash I still have energy I'm like oh oh my god I wanna watch this drama okay let's watch then I watch five episodes then <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> eh err let's spend some time on twitter there just text text text text my friends eh how you doing today blah blah blah blah blah then after that maybe like

I also don't know but , my


three days, three days ya if I don't talk about OT but that's because I took the weekend shift which is the friday saturday sunday if I choose the if I choose the week


day one it'll be like either five consecutive days or four consecutive days


ya, ya then the the but the four days one hor <mandarin>我三天我已经要倒了:wo san tian wo yi jing yao dao le</mandarin> some people do four days of twelve hours, actually not twelve hours twelve point five hours then I'm like how the heck do you do this man


like the max we can OT right, like <mandarin>我们就是:wo men jiu shi</mandarin> cannot hit <mandarin>到:dao</mandarin> twelve hours like so for example okay we twelve point five right, then we minus the forty five minutes eleven point seven five O and that max you can OT is like


then the max we can OT is like, zero point two five and then if you OT that day one hour right then you have to keep writing on the next day the time sheet then you like everyday <mandarin>都:dou</mandarin> write eh plus two five plus one, ya, ya <mandarin>麻烦:ma fan</mandarin> but I think MOM regulation or something ya I mean cannot lah


, but , I either


oh I just uh order midnight delivery midnight delivery charge usually <mandarin>是蛮贵的所以:shi man gui de suo yi</mandarin> I don't do that or I just order from the warehouse itself, but order from warehouse itself right <mandarin>其实对:qi shi dui</mandarin> the delivery rider <mandarin>还有对我:hai you dui wo</mandarin> a lot benefit because


the thing is that when I order, ya so, deliver like he just come to the warehouse because they need to come to the warehouse to get the item to deliver so he just come here right and you are ready at the white house at the warehouse he see the item then of this is mine


I'm at the warehouse he see the item then I'm like oh this is mine, and then he just be like very grateful he's like oh thank you thank you, no okay I I have to hit the minimum in order not to pay the delivery fee but at my warehouse it was fifteen dollars minimum


ya then me and my colleague will just share and then if for example like one night like the first night or we will both just order everything we need, then, then we make up for the amount and then after that like we just eat for the three consecutive nights just what we ordered lor


ya, there's maggie there's , you know those type of chocolate muffin those type of they also have red velvet cookies or whatever there's there's actually a lot of snacks that's why I feel like <mandarin>我去做工了:wo qu zuo gong le</mandarin> hor


but the thing is that right I, on very busy nights right, one night I got walk twenty five K steps before


twenty five K steps are about twenty KM, ya then at that time I had I had more muscle, but now I went I I stop doing that lah and then I'm like !huh! I'm going to find a job so I'm not gonna do that anymore and I only do ad hoc and now my muscles


are going, ya exactly my muscles are like what muscles then I've just been trying so hard to lose my weight because , ya, I just want to be a normal weight and fit into more clothes because for me my problem is that my this measurement and this measurement cannot fit into any normal clothes online


I'm also trying to I'm not trying to lose what I'm trying to be healthier should that I'm very unhealthy


okay BB, ya, I think your size is okay to and ya I'm just I'm obese BB


oh, !hais!, it's okay we'll get past that it's just


ya, , !hais!, it's okay but actually


we are getting old BB, ya same I


ya I feel like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I feel like I I I'll like hit forty and then <mandarin>我就有老人痴呆了:wo jiu you lao ren chi dai le</mandarin> cause I I'm dead I'm done with life BB


buy health insurance so that I can feed my parents while I have dementia , no lah no lah but I don't know recently things have been


I mean , this situation not a lot of our parents experienced before mah this COVID situation it's an extremely unique situation because previous err, everything that happened in our parent's time like SARS etcetera it was not as serious as this like nowhere


ya, I'm also not very sure about that but okay lah, let me qualify my statement why I say this is because we have


medical progress and we were not born in the times of the black plague, so we didn't so that's why we felt it was not as bad, impressionable


naive, ya definitely but in terms of scale I would say COVID really a lot more, like,


chill, ya I feel like they were more chill about SARS leh because, I mean SARS has a higher death rate but, ya


!hais! !aiyo!, don't do this leh I mean


ya oh my god that's like horrifying okay lah actually <mandarin>我也是没有的去:wo ye shi mei you de qu</mandarin> grad trip


we can't go anywhere <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> japan trip leh I want to eat the play at the place where lori and you always eat I want to eat, the good Gyoza I also want the dessert and I also want to go to <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> tea house you know the with a lot of pretty tea one


that's I remember got like was it your got take picture of like this very nice tea place, I'm not sure but, oh no, oh no


does this mean I have to go to two locations okay okay <mandarin>可以的:ke yi de</mandarin> after COVID, all our fandoms


ya or #zheng yin long# or like we can see #chu yi long# at a fan meet, (oo), I don't think so but I think will have to plan it well along with the release of his dramas or something lor then <mandarin>她才会有:ta cai hui you</mandarin> fan meet


ya I mean, oh no


no I don't think so not only this right my results release also delay then, I'm just like because there are some jobs that they need to see your degree first, before hiring you even though you say that you're already gonna graduate they're like oh no we need to see your cert then I'm like


exactly, I'm just like at A level pay you know


, can you imagine they're like oh okay so degree pay then it's like oh no no no we are going to give you a A level pay, ya, uh, then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> degree ah <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> degree <mandarin>了这样多年不是没有用:le zhe yang duo nian bu shi mei you yong</mandarin> ah


the pain of life, ya, nowadays ah, I think even even degree holders <mandarin>也是变成:ye shi bian cheng</mandarin> like you know yes <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> degree holders also do those type of no need qualification <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> job already


like, then ya I I think it's pretty hard these days and you have to really, push yourself more maybe, uh


or like grab grab grab food or delivery or I don't know what lah probably you can earn quite a bit ya ya to tide you over this period essentially the grab food and all these right is actually not bad and everything and !hais!, ya ya ya, yes actually the grab food and all these right it's actually not bad and everything and


then <mandarin>我拿那个东西我拿那个东西自己吃:wo na na ge dong xi wo na na ge dong xi zi ji chi</mandarin> then I get fired within my first year of work I tell you so it's like I can ride a bicycle but I cannot, find my way, I don't have a license if I work on food I'll get even more lost therefore


oh I see I see that's interesting but


ya I think , like, ya my parents will definitely not approve <mandarin>他们应该讲:ta men ying gai jiang</mandarin> !aiyo! <mandarin>你的肺已经这样:ni de fei yi jing zhe yang</mandarin> weak <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> you still can do this type of thing cause I remember last time in the past I had, I had bronchitis when I was very young and I also had pneumonia


when I was in err secondary school, and not only that like I have like really sensitive airways I guess ya then I already catch colds easily and my nose is always sensitive and drippy as you can tell whenever we go out


!hais!, now my only major issue from me ah <mandarin>就是我的:jiu shi wo de</mandarin> migraine, because the migraine really affects my functions so much then I sometimes when it last up to three days I really don't know what to do that's why my parents tell me like <mandarin>你要找工作你不要找:ni yao zhao gong zuo ni bu yao zhao</mandarin> high paying <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> you just find a low stress one because like as in not low stress in like


those type of you know as in not so like


like


I see I see


oh ya, oh no ya but ya that sounds like it sucks but on your off days do they call you also


oh my god, ya that sucks okay lah okay lah at least one thing err the one thing is that they pay you quite well


, #wu xie#, ya ya ya I think their treatment is not bad


so okay [lah] correct [lah] I'm okay [eh] I think we reach an hour, ya okay I will resist and together three he flew one stop


I don't want to go anywhere, because it's still not safe to go


I I feel that it's still not safe to go <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> then


it's actually not safe how I rather we still stay in singapore do a staycation, then we have nice breakfast in the hotels


it's the hotel breakfast mah that we should enjoy mah <mandarin>对不对你你都懂我一个:dui bu dui ni ni dou dong wo yi ge</mandarin> breakfast <mandarin>可以吃四个钟头在:ke yi chi si ge zhong tou zai</mandarin> hotel <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> so, I'm okay lah if if we go staycation lah I mean choose a nice hotel with <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> breakfast hor is


sumptuous and delicious and international spread


I mean during the staycation, so how, buffet international, best that have uh


that's the best what, ya


ya let's leave this out of our conversation okay, then at least at least <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> hotel <mandarin>又有那个:you you na ge</mandarin> swimming pool so that <mandarin>月如:yue ru</mandarin> can go and play


she's so looking forward to the swimming what, ya, so actually I have already, saw


fifty per cent, and comes with breakfast and children stay free two children stay free


staycation, ya


, ya


, wait, safe distancing doesn't mean that <mandarin>你不会:ni bu hui</mandarin> enjoy <mandarin>那些:na xie</mandarin> like <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> in-flight meals the entertainment all that mah


(mmhmm) (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


, that that's for the cabin crew to manage what


, not more than three hundred lor, ya ya ya <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> GST <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> service charge <mandarin>是不算的:shi bu suan de</mandarin> mah


but then, !hanna! <mandarin>那些是:na xie shi</mandarin> not inclusive not inclusive in the package lah I mean just the package the flight alone the staycation the flight <mandarin>加起来:jia qi lai</mandarin> not more than three hundred lor then airport tax is airport tax mah that one


ah, !hannor!


but you haven't hear from the horse's mouth mah


ya lor maybe maybe they are allowed to work somewhere else but only selection that's why some sometimes they choose not to work you never know what


just like you also choose not to work during the the the peak of <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> COVID <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> times, because of safety at home, so ya, plus now it's not easy to get work eh


it's not easy, Sibeh Sian


shortlisted ah


whichever come first ya whichever come first then you serve them first lah


but, but now is the difficult times eh now the job, job market


then <mandarin>其他的的你:qi ta de de ni</mandarin> reject <mandarin>的话:de hua</mandarin> then, your percentage is lower mah to get hired, right so now when there's no not a lot of vacancies for for people to apply so whichever come first just grab lor then <mandarin>等等那个:deng deng na ge</mandarin> job market is better when employers <mandarin>没有这样:mei you zhe yang</mandarin> stingy on the wages ah not so stingy on this and that their requirements for employing people is not so high then <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> then <mandarin>才去选你要的公司:cai qu xuan ni yao de gong si</mandarin> lor


right, so <mandarin>我我有什么我就:wo wo you shen me wo jiu</mandarin> grab Liao


it's just to get the cert only what, no no the food safe no the food safety certificate is for you if you're handling food


right so if you're doing like housecleaning those cleaner job ah you just need to learn how to clean it properly there's a like a <mandarin>那时候我在那个那个:na shi hou wo zai na ge na ge</mandarin> NTUC <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> learning hub ah <mandarin>看到:kan dao</mandarin> hor they teach you ah like there's a procedure !wah! from here clean to where and then so on and so forth lah so you have they they teach you a systematic way of cleaning


clean <mandarin>三四间屋子一个月有两千块:san si jian wu zi yi ge yue you liang qian kuai</mandarin> why not, then <mandarin>给你打扫:gei ni da sao</mandarin> lor


it's time to it's time to like you know <mandarin>你也打扫我也打扫我在外面打扫是赚钱在这里打扫是没有赚钱的:ni ye da sao wo ye da sao wo zai wai mian da sao shi zhuan qian zai zhe li da sao shi mei you zhuan qian de</mandarin> so, you get some of the burden lah since both of us is both trying to find a part time job to


put put our money, ya lor


they say this year this year is to fly is difficult what next year, it's very dim lah cannot see the light yet, I don't think so


I think ah they they will not they will not open up ah to let general general public hor to fly ah based on leisure


but <mandarin>我觉:wo jue</mandarin>


more more for business lah, not possible even if it's possible it's still


or maybe china it should should be the safest, because they sanitise <mandarin>整个街:zheng ge jie</mandarin> what <mandarin>整个地方:zheng ge di fang</mandarin> what


then how,


, I think that's the worst country to go now


no <mandarin>韩国:han guo</mandarin> they are still quite err open that they they have a second wave or even a third wave but then <mandarin>日本:ri ben</mandarin> hor there's no news eh


no it's the butter it's at home ya it's done already


no, the one that burst out one ah that one is a cream that it's, to make the, to separate the cream the butter and buttermilk


so now I have one kind of buttermilk and one lump of butter ya, so I'm thinking of using the buttermilk for the cake, but if I make two cakes then I won't have enough buttermilk I need to top up with some milk


that one is more for the whipping, more for <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> soup ah, you know for food for cooking one


ya thicken curry or soup all this lah you know like that time I make the mushroom soup right <mandarin>我做那:wo zuo na</mandarin> with <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> whip cream <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> that whipping cream ah <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> okay but if I make it to butter and buttermilk it taste weird because it's like like have this coconut smell or some very weird smell


then <mandarin>看你们两个有没有去拉肚子:kan ni men liang ge you mei you qu la du zi</mandarin> lor if you all keep going to the toilet then that that cream is supposed to go down the drain ah


you know, ya, ah,


so it will be taller


that's why I think I think [orh] <mandarin>那个那个:na ge na ge</mandarin> cake <mandarin>做出来没有这样好吃:zuo chu lai mei you zhe yang hao chi</mandarin> it because it's very dense already what, you remember the first time I did it's the same recipe but first time second time do the the


the the what ah the taste is different because the dense the density ah


that one can only put like three three cupcakes only, so if I make cupcakes then the rest of the space is wasted lah it's empty because of the cup <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> size


so <mandarin>变成:bian cheng</mandarin> the the spacing is empty then <mandarin>我我不是要:wo wo bu shi yao</mandarin> cook instead of ten times one round cake I have to do twenty times, and one time is twenty minutes leh


that's why hor <mandarin>我在想:wo zai xiang</mandarin> hor november eleven hor, then hor I should, I'm I'm actually more keen to get a bigger


no but sometime I want to air fry fish, then I have so many machine, I can I can actually get one machine is the oven cum air fryer and it's big twenty four litres so it can fulfil my two cooking style and now I have a pressure pot which I can do soup


so, that can do oven <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> air fry


ya lor okay


it looks like a oven, so


we can I can I I don't mind to consider that lah then if, if I have a, cheaper version


(mmhmm),


it's getting the ah Bao Ka Liao, so how can you please check with her, since september, mine I already ask you, that's the second time already


still have october ten, november <mandarin>来:lai</mandarin> this the end of november <mandarin>那个货进来:na ge huo jin lai</mandarin> hor <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> machine <mandarin>进来:jin lai</mandarin> hor then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> hor


december <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> start Liao, [orh] [orh], christmas fruit pound cake, it's for own consumption


ya, so how, good for


I have, I don't know why it didn't it didn't release the pressure like I vent it but


yes, if not how to cook, ah, it didn't vent at all, I tried


then <mandarin>他慢慢:ta man man</mandarin> released <mandarin>是不是:shi bu shi</mandarin> I don't know, !huh! I don't understand that that thing lah I'm still as, it's not salty yet but I can smell


so I defrost one portion so one more portion is in the freezer, and then one portion, the one portion is err


so, okay mah


no not <mandarin>奶白:nai bai</mandarin> it's the green colour one, it looks like the <mandarin>奶白:nai bai</mandarin> but it's the whole thing the the stem <mandarin>是青色的不是那个白色奶白是白色的:shi qing se de bu shi na ge bai se nai bai shi bai se de</mandarin> mah


it's the one the stem is green one


then the other uncle one also don't have no vegetable at all, no market one no market, then tomorrow can you help me buy the pork


okay, then I was thinking also can buy chicken also lah then tomorrow I do the marinade the <mandarin>叉烧:cha shao</mandarin> the chicken we eat for tomorrow then the <mandarin>叉烧:cha shao</mandarin> for the next two days lor


it's just that <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> pork, no no with


no not with the container with the baking sheet lor, ya


so I don't want the <mandarin>肥:fei</mandarin> what the <mandarin>肥肌肉:fei ji rou</mandarin> I don't want anymore so tough, ya because that day, Papa say <mandarin>用用比较有有:yong yong bi jiao you you</mandarin> fats <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> so I was thinking use the <mandarin>五花肉:wu hua rou</mandarin> ah


ah, or you tomorrow you ask the, or tomorrow you ask the uncle ah you say I want to do <mandarin>叉烧:cha shao</mandarin> homemade <mandarin>叉烧:cha shao</mandarin> which type of meat to use


that's why that time we bought the <mandarin>肥肌肉:fei ji rou</mandarin> ah ah <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> ah, buy one KG try lah, or half a KG half a KG


okay, ah


easier lah, because that time we bought is seven hundred grams what right


ya ya ya seven seven thirty something, ya ya <mandarin>我去:wo qu</mandarin> measure mah, ya lor, so that one the their portioning is quite quite a lot actually, so let's say five hundred should be just nice lah we can eat for two days lor


then, then if you can can ask him, because tomorrow is the first day of the meat store, that's tuesday mah so if you if he's not that busy lah ask him


to make the, the minced meat or can we ask him to mince we choose the meat then he mince, because I don't want to buy <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> mince meat <mandarin>已经在那边:yi jing zai na bian</mandarin> Liao <mandarin>因为那种很多:yin wei na zhong hen duo</mandarin> fats


then <mandarin>你去:ni qu</mandarin> central then <mandarin>你就问那边的:ni jiu wen na bian de</mandarin> uncle lah <mandarin>如果你去:ru guo ni qu</mandarin> market <mandarin>就你问:jiu ni wen</mandarin> market uncle lah


because I thought want to do the, what you call ah the the the, #bak kwa#, I have yes I have the recipe ya I have the recipe also

not we are just nice, we our finances are just nice, ya so so it's not very good time to like, keep giving away


only fish and, if not ah then we we have a choice to buy there then at least got fifteen percent discount


, ya, yes, you see the group chat there's like <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> so many host, ya and


no some of them has already been doing it for a while already, ya, so, ah okay lah okay lah I think for this week just


pork, for #char siew# and chicken, I think chicken wing better, no lah chicken breast meat


你 讲, but since we have air fryer <mandarin>为什么要用:wei shen me yao yong</mandarin> deep fryer, you know you are putting one extra machine in our house it will become white elephant


no no no it's not the <mandarin>炒饭:chao fan</mandarin> it's recently the pasta


ah ha


if, okay the the food, exactly lor how did you do that


ah ha, and


then <mandarin>为什么你不要盖住:wei shen me ni bu yao gai zhu</mandarin> leh


actually I don't like that guy


the the the one the UK the BBC one ah


funny or I don't feel


but his jokes are not funny at all, he say like, like you all both of you laugh until like very funny but I don't feel it's funny leh


ah, no no no now


no now, no <mandarin>我没有我没有重播:wo mei you wo mei you chong bo</mandarin> china <mandarin>这样多:zhe yang duo</mandarin> mah <mandarin>只是那个:zhi shi na ge</mandarin> that one the <mandarin>精成精:jing cheng jing</mandarin> ah <mandarin>成精灵而已:cheng jing ling er yi</mandarin> mah <mandarin>成成精灵:cheng cheng jing ling</mandarin> [orh]


that one I like because the the boy very handsome, because you very bored you very boring one


that's why I say you very boring one [orh], so that you can remember the <mandarin>台词:tai ci</mandarin> you know the <mandarin>台词:tai ci</mandarin> are the the <mandarin>台词:tai ci</mandarin> is the funny one mah


right, because you never watch the show so you don't find it funny


three universe ah, yes in different in different world they they have different person ah personality so on and so forth ah


the the one like very big boss that one


no no ya no ya, hello


I mean there's some, there's some err line like <mandarin>终极三国:zhong ji san guo</mandarin> right is is based on <mandarin>三国的那个那个:san guo de na ge na ge</mandarin> story but, there's some twist ah


ah but <mandarin>你看那个刘备他那那首:ni kan na ge liu bei ta na na shou</mandarin> ah, ya, DW DCW


the band, I don't know


I think it's the band then the show, because they wrote, ya because they wrote the <mandarin>够爱:gou ai</mandarin> based on this, this ah series


ya, that's why <mandarin>那些:na xie</mandarin> lyrics lyrics some of the lyrics are, are telling telling the, so called the <mandarin>听众:ting zhong</mandarin> [orh], ah related lah it's related


so I believe should be the band first then the show, ya ya


for real, , I guess so lor <mandarin>因为因为:yin wei yin wei</mandarin> taiwan ya taiwan <mandarin>的偶像剧都是这样的:de ou xiang ju dou shi zhe yang de</mandarin> mah <mandarin>都是他们在街上:dou shi ta men zai jie shang</mandarin> eh spotted this one quite good looking okay can you come and go for audition blah blah blah all these then <mandarin>就开始:jiu kai shi</mandarin> act Liao


then sometimes sometimes the taiwan <mandarin>偶像:ou xiang</mandarin> hor <mandarin>就一两个一两个:jiu yi liang ge yi liang ge</mandarin> show then <mandarin>就没有:jiu mei you</mandarin> act Liao, unless they are really that popular then they have more shows ah otherwise


it's like slowing down because the the <mandarin>偶像:ou xiang</mandarin> is getting older


!aiya! this one maybe have but I don't know because I'm not following the taiwan show anymore now all all all go china all take a lot of china people already


I didn't, no, actually that show I wanted to watch one leh, but you watch it before me, the witcher right, ya lor I wanted


I want to watch, no now I I think I'll if I finished, play


I only see the face only


, , so <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> dune <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> movie lah not series lah


(mmhmm),


but star wars star wars starts from as a series what it's not movie mah, eh no sorry sorry ah


no I don't remember sorry maybe <mandarin>你问我那个东城卫的戏我可以跟你讲:ni wen wo na ge dong cheng wei de xi wo ke yi gen ni jiang</mandarin> lah


which one, [orh] okay, okay, eh <mandarin>刚才我看到那个:gang cai wo kan dao na ge</mandarin> TV <mandarin>你有:ni you</mandarin> bookmark eh


the bookmark just added one leh, ah ha, [orh]


[orh], oh


eh but just now I I turn off for my chinese drama okay mah ya I mean the website can leh, then have to cast <mandarin>过去:guo qu</mandarin> lah


then Bo <mandarin>没有办法:mei you ban fa</mandarin> lor, but actually the train that you you wanted that website it's because you want to watch train to Busan


but I that that day, the first thirty minute is very boring lor


not so interesting already leh


it's, ya if it's continuation at least still have you know, #gong yoo# #gong yoo# still not too bad


#gong yoo# what, ya #gong yoo# or some Gong Gong something one lah, ya lor that one still not too bad at least <mandarin>他还好看:ta hai hao kan</mandarin> mah <mandarin>有那个:you na ge</mandarin> motivation to continue watching


ya and it's, ya it's very slow, it's not like, doesn't arouse lah err doesn't arouse the curiosity to continue watching <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> lah so ya


but angela continue lor <mandarin>看她看到完她说:kan ta kan dao wan ta shuo</mandarin> not bad what, !walao!, first thirty minutes so boring <mandarin>你怎样:ni zen yang</mandarin> continue, so, ya


okay next time the TV series I'll choose from Netflix Netflix lah, because sometimes hor <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> choose <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> hor, also, quite boring one


like I cannot remember if I remember then it's not boring right, no the one the, cobra Kai okay ya cobra Kai okay not too bad


ya that one I don't mind, ah


it built him up mah to be a good person mah


is it, why, ah


[orh]


oh we haven't watch right


then <mandarin>我玩:wo wan</mandarin> game <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> ruby


well we don't need what, because OneDrive is from Microsoft, okay


, that's for one year, then after that


then if you don't renew, then what's the purpose then what's the point, then what's the point


exactly, no need ah


twenty five gig, she don't know, I I doubt so


actually maybe next time when you see her you help her to set up <mandarin>那个好像好像你帮我:na ge hao xiang hao xiang ni bang wo</mandarin> set up hor


ya so ya so if if ya ya then, ya


no because the six gig, is four G, after that it's unlimited at three G at throttle throttle speed so it's still considered to her is I can watch without worry it's just a matter of after the six gig the loading will be slower


yes, , but <mandarin>因为她的家的:yin wei ta de jia de</mandarin> setup <mandarin>已经是:yi jing shi</mandarin> under


ah under Starhub


so once the mould is confirm then they will mass produce like for example a hi-fi system or a TV


so they will mould out, the the first machine from a blueprint, then after that once <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> mould approved Liao then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> production <mandarin>才会开始做:cai hui kai shi zuo</mandarin> lor, ya


so it's very hands on lah that's why <mandarin>姐夫会那种:jie fu hui na zhong</mandarin> drilling ah <mandarin>什么什么:shen me shen me</mandarin> ah, ya, it's not IT one


I guess so, intern <mandarin>一个月才几百块而已:yi ge yue cai ji bai kuai er yi</mandarin> leh

malaysia, a bit of Sentosa and maybe the island right


air space so small, then <mandarin>在飞机上面又要:zai fei ji shang mian you yao</mandarin> safe distancing, then need


right but the assumption that oh it's a it's so it's also so called fly to nowhere people will start moving around mah


so <mandarin>你怎样:ni zen yang</mandarin> manage the the the crowd


so how much would you pay for flight to nowhere


with a staycation bundled, that means either you, stay at the hotel


K all that


three hundred plus plus lah <mandarin>有服务费这些:you fu wu fei zhe xie</mandarin> lah


apparently <mandarin>他们不可以做:ta men bu ke yi zuo</mandarin> work outside work part time, but they cannot work part time, so apparently a lot of them are doing day trading


that's the thing about that's the thing about this ah reply and all that they now they always say ah


we only, we only contact the suitable candidates shortlisted candidates


what if I'm holding out for one


then <mandarin>这边没有:zhe bian mei you</mandarin> reply, and they'll be like okay <mandarin>你要不要:ni yao bu yao</mandarin> join, what do I do I tell them okay I'll go for an interview

then become a staycation in another country, but no lah


I think china


from what ah my contact say ah, to step out, so you a foreigner right you don't have ID mah unless you carry your passport ah they would not give it to you


that means you go in stay the hotel do what you need to do and get out of the country


go one way about it, someone will be bringing, to your room <mandarin>放在外面:fang zai wai mian</mandarin> lor


ya the, but <mandarin>日本:ri ben</mandarin> always has been very sketchy about their, health data, then <mandarin>他们讲:ta men jiang</mandarin> how can no health no HIV data coming out from the country, so they cover cover


[orh] but done already lah so the <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> jar

then <mandarin>另外一包那个:ling wai yi bao na ge</mandarin> cream in the fridge eh


[orh] to thicken curries ah [orh] oh okay okay


, so it's still the orange pound cake ah <mandarin>你用你用你用:ni yong ni yong ni yong</mandarin> air fryer


right


instead


typical, table top, oven, convection oven, then you have the air fry machine lor


lily <mandarin>每次她只买那几个:mei ci ta zhi mai na ji ge</mandarin> house brand, you know that lah


there's three or four of them in the buying group so called lah, so it seems like there's three or four of them but same ah all the everyone goes to all the delivery goes to a place lah


ya,

ya pick ourself afloat


but the group buy seem to be like, premiums stuff ah, and still popular


so many host <mandarin>因为每个要:yin wei mei ge yao</mandarin> Chiong <mandarin>进去:jin qu</mandarin> mah


then <mandarin>那个我们买那个不是买:na ge wo men mai na ge bu shi mai</mandarin> ah


it'll be like pot of oil, after you deep fry, then like how to treat this pot of oil


some they say you can more or less like filter it then use the remaining for a few more times before you dispose <mandarin>还是要丢:hai shi yao diu</mandarin> mah


the sauce very dry up it dry up the whole pan, so what I did was I I stir fry the the pork already right with the garlic


no because <mandarin>因为那个:yin wei na ge</mandarin> pork was, we try to, defrost it faster by putting in hot water mah, ya lor so the first few time when that clump go in <mandarin>里面有水:li mian you shui</mandarin> mah <mandarin>他就:ta jiu</mandarin> <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> splatter Liao lor


!hannor! why <mandarin>我不要盖住:wo bu yao gai zhu</mandarin> hor


mister roger, will keep popping up, keep popping up then <mandarin>他那个跟那个:ta na ge gen na ge</mandarin> Patel


that indian whatever heritage she needs ah ah they went on a chinatown tour part one and part two, the the lady like trying to rebrand herself or don't know whose height who's riding on whose popularity now


he's he's malaysian


I don't re-watch maybe I'll go and Google maybe I'll go and maybe I'll go and Google okay what's the


what's the, what do you call it, what do they call it ah like inside jokes ah like maybe <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> poster <mandarin>叫:jiao</mandarin> easter egg what are the easter eggs what's the backstory is there extended universe never <mandarin>去从看从第一从看的:qu cong kan cong di yi cong kan de</mandarin> leh


!wah!


but it's all the same actors


teen idols


most of them or are there actual musicians inside


and all this <mandarin>他们这些是从:ta men zhe xie shi cong</mandarin> comic book


!huh! it's original ah, it's not it's not copy from Anime one ah, not comic not Anime it's they literally thought it out ah


so the band was before the show, or the show then have the band because of the show have the band


okay, okay


, okay like for real underground rock band


then how did he get onto the show, he spotted, they spotted him, so they're all amateurs


okay


Netflix that witcher series did you watch with the superman one, second season come


ah it's based on a game


jason momoa, the aquaman the new aquaman, the DC hero DC movie <mandarin>不是有一个:bu shi you yi ge</mandarin> aquaman lor


star wars is based off dune, the original guy who wanted to do dune, was so, too elaborate already because he said !wah! want to stretch four hours and err two movies or four movies so back way back then no don't have this kind of concept one


ah then so for many years they don't dare to they said the movie the original dune movie came out right, original dune movie came out was not well received lah for same lah the fans ah but for people like me will say !wah! !wah! !wah! <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> mah but if you read the stories totally not enough you will not fit one movie


so for this new one, for this new one right I think it's two movies, movie, but, I think now they will do series


like they will they will come up with two movies right, and then okay now you can watch dune do the series because now we're we'll talk about this household or that planet or this character, it's what star wars does ah, you know the people who follow star wars ah


star wars right, the whole universe ah the the fans ah they will <mandarin>他们会看什么看电影一二三四五六七八九:ta men hui kan shen me kan dian ying yi er san si wu liu qi ba jiu</mandarin> right


right cartoon, and the games also include include included in the story you know, so <mandarin>弄到:nong dao</mandarin> super expanded [orh] <mandarin>很难跟:hen nan gen</mandarin> like <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> star wars <mandarin>也是那个:ye shi na ge</mandarin> jedi


part two <mandarin>就是那个:jiu shi na ge</mandarin> #obi-wan kenobi# <mandarin>他以为:ta yi wei</mandarin> but actually it's a projection of him remember


no then you see then you will go and re-watch part two then one day we'll watch part three


eh <mandarin>那个是:na ge shi</mandarin> [orh] okay, right right, I use it again right


the one that I use the english one ah the hollywood movie one ah, ya ya ya but <mandarin>不可以用不可以用:bu ke yi yong bu ke yi yong</mandarin> I I know that's why it got stuck yesterday I bookmark happy mah then after that when I


switch off switch on again, I think <mandarin>是那个网站不可以用那个:shi na ge wang zhan bu ke yi yong na ge</mandarin> browser


the browser cannot support, this site, your chinese one is another website what, your website okay the one that I use


apparently, I don't know, cast <mandarin>过去:guo qu</mandarin> okay, train to Busan


then <mandarin>你那个有没有:ni na ge you mei you</mandarin> train to Busan


but because <mandarin>因为看了:yin wei kan le</mandarin> fifteen minutes <mandarin>看得出笨坐在:kan de chu ben zuo zai</mandarin> commit Liao no turning back


ya lah because it's not a continuation of the other one it's like another like, [orh]


slow ah, okay


, one and a half hour right


ah TV series <mandarin>也是这样:ye shi zhe yang</mandarin> ah oh you must push through the first three episode after that it gets better !huh! still have to get through first three episode, some episode like forty five minute


you talk about english or or other language, like which one


not too bad right


cause this one initially <mandarin>我以为是:wo yi wei shi</mandarin> eh nineties or eighties leh because <mandarin>那个车全部:na ge che quan bu</mandarin> like, old series <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> mah until <mandarin>那个他去看那个:na ge ta qu kan na ge</mandarin> Miyagi <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> oh twenty eleven, then you realise eh twenty eleven yes it's in the two thousands but it's like ten years back


then the character <mandarin>很怪的那个:hen guai de na ge</mandarin> either one of them lah


what's that guy's, the cobra Kai the what ah


, alright


then <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> karate kid <mandarin>做到一个女的:zuo dao yi ge nv de</mandarin> right, there was one <mandarin>一个是:yi ge shi</mandarin> the disciple ah it's a girl


ah, okay the <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> backstory <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> will smith posted to china or the mother


posted to china right, so ah, then he went to chinese school lah then obviously Kena bully and all that kind of thing cause they learn <mandarin>武功:wu gong</mandarin> mah then bump into <mandarin>成龙:cheng long</mandarin> lor


ya, IP man, meant for


ya lah but you know ah Google one I don't know the Google's version of OneDrive lah, so now one gig is twenty seven dollars sing lah total value anyway the value is sing dollar


then <mandarin>我讲:wo jiang</mandarin> eh <mandarin>有三十多块:you san shi duo kuai</mandarin> mah, no one year, after it ask you renew lah, don't renew then you cannot access the files you uploaded so far lor


as a rolling thing lah they just they keep you locked in with the subscription, now that you say don't need don't need lah


for how much, run out, what she should do is just use just use use use use until


[orh], at least she knows it's measuring


teacher buy the phone casing, twenty five gig <mandarin>应该够:ying gai gou</mandarin> [bah] then if twenty five gig she feel not enough why she why she only want to buy, six gig


and she still want to keep the twenty five gig, because contract, then <mandarin>去跟他们讲不要用:qu gen ta men jiang bu yao yong</mandarin> contract <mandarin>了现在没有人用:le xian zai mei you ren yong</mandarin> contract


some more <mandarin>姐夫是:jie fu shi</mandarin> IT <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> eh


ah ah, [orh] right right


be I won't say savvy lah pay closer attention to all this digital digital pay digital


subscription kind of thing ah, guaranteed chop stamp <mandarin>他们找最:ta men zhao zui</mandarin> value for money, ah two boys ah


cause as in as of now they are paying for them right, ah, but <mandarin>大的:da de</mandarin> intern Liao mah, that's a start lah after intern <mandarin>就是做什么:jiu shi zuo shen me</mandarin> NS NS <mandarin>完了没有:wan le mei you</mandarin> unless <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> Siam NS


I guess, then when when do you, when do you tell them okay now you start to pay for, no


now lor, !huh!, what's the timeline, no lah I I feel I feel that I feel that let's say now since he's pulling in some money say okay


we, throw him the responsibility lah if you want then <mandarin>你去把全部的:ni qu ba quan bu de</mandarin> data whatever all the subscription of the family this is the subscription, shave off this percentage or, are we know maximising let's say I'm paying fifty dollars for everyone but are we getting know


more than fifty dollar worth of data, can I rebase, is it called based


no but because if I go and tell them they'll be like ah whatever whatever whatever because for them is <mandarin>我我只是在帮儿子还:wo wo zhi shi zai bang er zi huan</mandarin> mah the two boys won't Cham what


they have no concern because, no ya okay you paying fifteen dollar for fifteen gig, so okay lor fifteen gig lor I'll just use fifteen gig lor hor but if let's say now okay now you pay for your own own no no no I better get fifty gig where can I get fifty gig for twenty dollars you go and find mah


ah then they will be bothered to go and find mah, which I feel in <mandarin>那个小的会很:na ge xiao de hui hen</mandarin> resourceful but the thing is the challenge is not thrown to him


but he for him is, no one asked me to do so why should I, know I mean, I I don't know whether


I don't know who whether they do or which one of them does, spoil, there's something spoil two of them lah, like let them


you know own two feet now when they want to, cause <mandarin>他都要进:ta dou yao jin</mandarin> NS <mandarin>了你不要跟他说:le ni bu yao gen ta shuo</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>你拿:ni na</mandarin> NS allowance !aiya! NS allowance so little no lah no lah I pay for his phone bill again, then [orh] ah now come out to work or or go back to school or now come out to work !aiya! your pay so low I pay I pay I continue to pay for your phone bill


then when do you pay for his when does he pay for his own, you know I mean, !wah! twenty five <mandarin>可以拿五十:ke yi na wu shi</mandarin> gig leh


really I think is in StarHub, twenty five dollar you can get fifty gig leh, that's why <mandarin>不可以签:bu ke yi qian</mandarin> line <mandarin>的签:de qian</mandarin> line <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> Jialat but because <mandarin>每个人:mei ge ren</mandarin> get <mandarin>那个电话:na ge dian hua</mandarin> but <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> bill <mandarin>不是跟电话:bu shi gen dian hua</mandarin> mah their phone can last few few years one what


in this market twenty five dollar can get fifty

BAU which is also, business activities


uh <mandarin>对现在我现在是:dui xian zai wo xian zai shi</mandarin> work from home, because of <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> COVID situation, err <mandarin>我们要:wo men yao</mandarin> minimise contact with everyone

uh, then <mandarin>昨天:zuo tian</mandarin> leh,


my friend ask me,


so, oh


photo shoot, oh ,


oh, okay, Kovan <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> ah


oh, oh


oh, uh, eh I thought, oh <mandarin>她做:ta zuo</mandarin> weekends <mandarin>而已:er yi</mandarin> ah


, motivated individuals, okay so err


you know last week I was working at RedMart, uh, RedMart combine with Lazada


then err they are selling like err groceries, uh then err, ya mainly groceries, so err what I what I do there was err picking and packing


, I will just, err pick pick out all the groceries that our customers select, then after that I'll pack them into a box, so they'll be sent out for delivery from the warehouse itself


then but err, I think because of the situation even though there was ten ten, the orders reduced significantly because consumers would rather buy physically from the stores themselves lah


then err they reduced headcount then there wasn't any like err slots for me this week, (ppc) so yesterday, I I found this err part time at err #ang mo kio# there, TechPlace ah


testing of medical equipment, uh for, err ventilator


because of <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> COVID right <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> hospital <mandarin>需要这个:xu yao zhe ge</mandarin> ventilator, so err, the equipments are very expensive and they require testing lor, so they they came from US and


swiss the machine itself lah, then one machine costs around forty k plus then err what I do there was to, test the


electrical power all this, then test whether the air it produces is it clean or not uh QC, then err, what else


ya so basically err what I was working in was a clean room, then we have to dress err, you have to wear this hair net you know like those err, hospital <mandarin>他们穿的:ta men chuan de</mandarin> ah


ya so, but the worst thing <mandarin>是我的:shi wo de</mandarin> supervisor <mandarin>是一个:shi yi ge</mandarin> <EX1>ah neh</EX1> <mandarin>他他的:ta ta de</mandarin> instructors <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> like [dey] [dey] [dey] [dey] [dey] then <mandarin>我根本听不懂:wo gen ben ting bu dong</mandarin> lah


but err overall ok lah because, err <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> instructions quite clear <mandarin>有一个:you yi ge</mandarin> manual book ah, then


then <mandarin>每次都要跟着那个:mei ci dou yao gen zhe na ge</mandarin> english <mandarin>的做:de zuo</mandarin> lor


but okay lah <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> working hour <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> seven to four, yesterday and today weekends lor, ah


okay lah because seven to four ah , six because #ang mo kio# <mandarin>而已:er yi</mandarin> mah , so I never slept past eight this whole week


shag, err <mandarin>有钱:you qian</mandarin> lor <mandarin>要钱:yao qian</mandarin> lor,


okay lah because <mandarin>我给很多给我的:wo gei hen duo gei wo de</mandarin> parents mah, then <mandarin>他们收住:ta men shou zhu</mandarin> lor, so, ah


so they recently hired a lot due to


a a large order lah from hospitals and err clinics, then err, the, so we're just err mass producing all those err machines ensuring that err all the machines undergo through like QC lor


, they they never say because err it's an agent job mah


, ya forty thousand plus per machine


COVID situation, the government,


lor, okay so


ah, err packing <mandarin>的比较美比较:de bi jiao mei bi jiao</mandarin> Chio ventilator <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> like err <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> just like


okay so err parking mainly <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> err waiting for, err polytechnic to start


then <mandarin>全部很年轻:quan bu hen nian qing</mandarin> lah but <mandarin>有几个:you ji ge</mandarin> uncle auntie lor so ya, it's okay ah, I mean err


twenty six ya lor seven years difference only mah, ya err but, okay so err the ventilator I'm working at err


there's, the girls are only err seventeen years old the she she's a student studying in polytechnic, just started polytechnic ah first year then now second semester so she's just working over the weekends


ah but didn't get to talk to her much because err, we were all busy, but, no lah it's okay lah too young,


ah , that's very young, at RedMart there is err T zero zero so it's


but <mandarin>她:ta</mandarin> Chio, <mandarin>她:ta</mandarin> Chio


part of the ah loser gig, yes then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> just Sua


err <mandarin>有两个:you liang ge</mandarin> so <mandarin>她们是:ta men shi</mandarin> friends then <mandarin>她们每次:ta men mei ci</mandarin> stick together, so it's quite hard to approach them alone, ah the only time err <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> when


okay lah I think not that cute lah, better than the rest lah , the only time ah the only time when <mandarin>可以跟她们讲话是:ke yi gen ta men jiang hua shi</mandarin> when <mandarin>她们:ta men</mandarin> on <mandarin>她们的:ta men de</mandarin> shift


because <mandarin>她们:ta men</mandarin> separated into different departments ah, then err, but, a bit awkward lah, because after all <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> seven years gap,


eh <mandarin>你最近还有玩:ni zui jin hai you wan</mandarin> ML <mandarin>吗:ma</mandarin> ah


good old times


we didn't need, , ah,

then there's geography, which I forgotten since secondary four, , then let's see what else there's biology which I didn't take


err, ah there's mathematics hor, but err usually when they request for mathematics subject right, they will want to have err other and other subject


ah so there's this err H one GP and H two mathematics, then you will need to teach both, because err, the the parent doesn't like err changing teachers, but the pay is quite good


like sixty per hour more than sixty the rate put more than sixty , ah then there's this Hougang, P three


chinese but the pay is twenty five, and the commission rate is fifty percent of the first month , oh


ah, but if you want to maintain long term I think it's okay lah, I can invite you to this group


oh let me see if there's any physics assignment, pure physics secondary school, err clement avenue five


forty five or, okay there's one at #jalan bukit merah#

oh


err <mandarin>他可以吃鸡蛋:ta ke yi chi ji dan</mandarin> ah, vegetarian vegetarian


, if I'm not wrong, ah,


ah oh ya ya, oh ya

because that's a part of your savings right if the whole part is err ah, okay is okay <mandarin>你放:ni fang</mandarin> hundred percent <mandarin>都:dou</mandarin> okay


because ah out of the assets must be, err within your risk tolerance of your savings so let's say err <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> savings <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> hundred k then err <mandarin>你不是很喜欢:ni bu shi hen xi huan</mandarin> risk <mandarin>的人:de ren</mandarin> so


there's err ah, ah so the things you invest in a stock market usually more riskier than the other ah


so if it's less than err your threshold is okay, so what do you invest in

no no no, err which broker are you using ah, err, if if, if it hits your ah it, ah


you you won't lose more than what you have put inside for eToro, so ah ah, ah !wah!, you can lose all the way until one thousand but you won't they won't ask you to pay more than one thousand


ah ah, so it's okay and for stocks usually they won't go all the way until, zero so you won't lose all your money ah, unless the company bankrupt


depending on the stocks, ah


so if you buy err, currencies this type lor


(uh huh) index is okay because index are usually quite safe, overnight fee, I think <mandarin>很少:hen shao</mandarin> ah, ah, because stocks you are holding for the dividends also
