life was simpler because you really look forward like this thing happen the next the next uh maybe chinese new year after that you have some Deepavali #hari raya# then you have christmas the season comes and then you look forward kind of thing now with the uh current situation everybody is like


a lot of things can buy from internet all the time you can buy but those days very different you know those days you will look forward to the festive season, and to your birthday to get presents all that when people just remember made a point to remember your birthday which is very fascinated and you receive a gift felt so grateful so happy that somebody remembered your birthday


now it's just like internet happy birthday there's no present it only your very good friend maybe will buy you presents but, those days we are very happy when we receive a card just a card


which is rather sad lah too too convenient thus have is a more bad points or like now I see see some parents bring the kid down to the playground and then they are not enjoying with the kid playing with a kid the mother is looking at the handphone


which is rather a dangerous thing I would say lah you know you should concentrating playing your kid finding a time to play a kid like a when holiday comes just throw away all the books and go enjoy yourself you know


that you don't see the kids ah like unless you need to help in the family other than that the mother is cooking all the kids are outside maybe I remember I go and catch grasshoppers with my brothers we usually go down around four o'clock to the uh backfield there to catch grasshoppers for the birds


and then my mum is cooking, she don't want us be around because difficult


eight hours ah minus one hour lunch ah, eight hours ah minus one hour lunch ah


so thirteen hours then <mandarin>一个人至少要有:yi ge ren zhi shao yao you</mandarin> like seven hours of sleeping


!aiyo! <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin>


uh


is difficult you know if you want to accomplish everything in one day you cannot I guess you have to break down, break down the task


then another another hour maybe to play a kind of thing you need if people it maybe I feel lah maybe re leh


uh I think it's like question of like how to destress yourself then you will find time, and if is work is a toy then is more like toy you know there's no passion


then a lot of people get affected because of your angle they can't, when you come when it come through the door from the work is supposed to leave your work in the office and do not bring work home because you bring the stress back and then the rest of family all feel it which is very difficult


that's how I feel know


oh he never he never my dad I think he never say anything about his work one so we don't know what is he doing he just leave it to himself so we just happily seeing him then just talk to him then he read newspaper then we just ask him about thing here and there I think it's quite good he doesn't speak about his work then my mother will be in the kitchen then she come up say let's eat something then we eat first my dad eat later that kind of thing


oh yes yes, that's what I like about it now I think about it my dad managed quite well ah, imagine five children he had to feed and only one working ah, he come through the door he drink water then he just uh sit down at his favourite chair and sit down there I think he sleep for a while after that he go and eat and bathe after that he will be reading the newspaper you know then after that time to sleep then he will go sleep


this kind of things and then sometimes he come home with gifts ah of course for those days like chocolate ah he will give to us ah we really love it ah because five children everybody get one back to bring to school to eat, ah ah van houten chocolate, and then the sweets I think is like now you all call it what


the gummy is it the different flavours what do you call that, rotery row three, so


esplanade


and the other one is christmas


it was the happiness you know I tell you it's something you like, I don't know how you feel I think now is totally different, you love it you want to go back to my time


I think now there are a lot of choices, too many choices, ya I think you're spoilt for choice ah you know you can, whatever things you want you can always find !wow! one whole list which one you want, but I think even despite only choices


the ultimate person to be happy is yourself lah you some of the happy of your decision, you know but I don't know how about your dream what is your dream


ya put it in the thing then they always say I forget I forget actually they don't wish to remember


ya and then shut down total shut down


ah maybe we should wish for the third wish is to for the future for your own future, I mean, for me I think as I age I I really wish that I have my children get married and have grandkids and see them happily having family and we move to a better place because right now we all stay together it's so many people at home have some small space for ourselves in the future I think that is good know


and uh the truth I also wish for the future of course the good things like I can see my friends, as we age together all those classmates you know is quite fun actually, meeting them that we meet those people who are still around because some are already gone those that we keep contact with


that is the future of course uh a better singapore where we don't have a


cannot be ah, of course ah, you know like some people like to drive buses you know but they never get to drive bus because their parents say no you must become a draftsmen an architect


you know what I mean


he was offered a scholarship from china he came here then after he fulfilled his scholarship of six years, he joined a local bank after that he went to hong-kong, okay and then from this bank he joined another bank, and then after that


he was in hong-kong for a few years after that he, return back to china that's what they do, most of them do that, they are never loyal to the foreigners are never loyal to the local uh to singapore know in the sense


you see how good she is she bother to learn that's why I say if the foreigners were to be here they have to adapt to our life not we adapt to them they have to adapt to our local context


problem lah but <mandarin>你看日本和:ni kan ri ben he</mandarin> korea


if you think along these two countries if they can


if such a homogeneous kind of way of dealing things uh why can't we have adapt this here just because we are all from overseas our parents our grandparents all from china from india from every part of the world that come here become a singapore you know


I think it's the word is adapt lah you have to adapt to a country if you go to stay there you have to adapt to their life not they adapt to you, you yourself come from foreign land you come here you have to adapt to life and how we manage to grow and then we have so much of a


uh we can foster anybody we can talk to we are very open minded over here, but you won't see in some countries like america and all that but here we are very glad where we grew up, in a multi racial society which is very good for us for our children and all that it's very very good every learn to be a piece for everybody


I think that's a key point adaptability


you know, appreciate the culture, err


uh I think that is sufficient lah don't have so much of course health lah health is a health is a good thing


ya good health, I can do I can run I used to run in school kind of thing I wish I can do all those things when I was younger you know which I think, it can be done but, have to try ah keep on trying to do


you know, you have to, discipline is the word, I think is the word discipline


no lah I think so we are still okay I don't think, we have a problem with them you just have to relax a bit <mandarin>放松一点不要太紧张太认真:fang song yi dian bu yao tai jin zhang tai ren zhen</mandarin> ah


I wish


you never be contented


, oh, hor


!aiyo! don't know maybe those days is fifty dollars lah ya those days fifty dollars is like now five hundred you know, so having that one is that, is so good so we have to go to east coast to learn to cycle we never have a bicycle at home


go all the way to east coast take our student pass to learn to cycle, I went there to learn to cycle you know that's how I learned to master it


nowadays if it is a very good one it is a thousand plus you know, ya mountain bike thousand plus the very good one with the bells and all that and then it has uh I think the tyres and all this the stainless steel thing


ah now at least we got this scheme that's why I'm so happy when they come to this scheme about you can rent a bicycle to cycle here and there which is good ah


I I saw them uh the other day, today I went to, beach road that side, and I went to this uh botanic garden that station I saw a lot bicycles outside people were actually parking there


it's the scan type yes yes there is, maybe you didn't go out during this COVID you can't see ah


I mean it's a good form of exercise, maybe she don't exercise much ah you know even in the gym got this cycle thought ah what do you call that, what do you call that, the one class called the speed spin ah they call it the spin


it's also a stationary bicycle what you do it what


yes I do, ya I went, ya <mandarin>有八年前差不多:you ba nian qian cha bu duo</mandarin> <mandarin>我有:wo you</mandarin> join I join the gym


!aiya! now I don't join the gym ah those day I join the gym then I try to exercise during lunch time, ya ya and then I cycle until my legs very soft know when I come out from the pink curve my leg very soft you know almost cannot stand up ah


nobody cheat ah, you register for the class you finish the class


I go for the I think body combat ah, I went to the wrong class I went to this uh body combat oh my gosh


ya <mandarin>我就不能跑去他们的门已经锁了了:wo jiu bu neng pao qu ta men de men yi jing suo liao liao</mandarin> !wah!


, uh <mandarin>有一点像有一点像:you yi dian xiang you yi dian xiang</mandarin> it's the same kind of concept then you went then horror man how come you went to a horror movie supposed to go to the other movie


okay so let's two have a conversation , , okay we talk about what we have eaten


!wah! sounds good


okay lah we talk about what do you want to talk about, , my three wishes ah, why don't you start first


ten years old ten years old


secondary school lah, why eh


means you spend a lot of time outside ah


!wah! sounds very difficult


so in that time when you make the chicken this one was for what like event or is it more for everyday eating one


then <mandarin>你平时不在家里:ni ping shi bu zai jia li</mandarin> or always or are you like out with your friends that kind


I don't really spend a lot of time as in now I'm working so, ya last time when I was young I spend a lot of time studying


, the


, we want


like what kind of games leh


how do you even have time to study


how do you feel like <mandarin>你是不是觉得就是现在的态度:ni shi bu shi jue de jiu shi xian zai de tai du</mandarin> like different from the olden days when people are more sincere in a way in how they like approach like


like do you feel is more of uh like a, like an internal like this kind of things is because of people's internal belief have changed or is it more of like


, so what are some <mandarin>刚才你就是讲那些什么:gang cai ni jiu shi jiang nei xie shen me</mandarin> like your dreams ah when you are young like what is it about young that makes you want to go back to those times


, more not really laidback but more of uh simple kind of life where now got more


so like people are more busy so in a way like your mind is quite scattered so like you can't really like focus on one thing and one


, , your your dream, your wish wish


, like how do you say like they don't have the technology to get water all this kind of thing <mandarin>可是现在比较好一点:ke shi xian zai bi jiao hao yi dian</mandarin> then <mandarin>你有没有觉得:ni you mei you jue de</mandarin> like now maybe you become a nurse down there maybe you'll be more safer and maybe there are more things that can support you when you are there


quite touching to hear that, like normally normally you see people then sometimes you look at their flaws straightaway lah but then you don't <mandarin>很难就是看:hen nan jiu shi kan</mandarin> like see past their like differences differences this kind of thing ya is quite good


like the safety in the, in where, africa


so singapore safer lah, then uh okay


so you so you say you want to go to africa to help children as a nurse ah, then also <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> uh <mandarin>希望回到:xi wang hui dao</mandarin> like


the song is it


ya nowadays nowadays you can just do anything from your laptop one <mandarin>你可以好像你:ni ke yi hao xiang ni</mandarin> youtube <mandarin>的时候也是可以用电话啊拍照也是可以用电话:de shi hou ye shi ke yi yong dian hua a pai zhao ye shi ke yi yong dian hua</mandarin> go internet also everything all on the phone nobody need laptop one last time Lagi the CPR very big that kind then need to lug around or you need a certain desk area then <mandarin>现在就是:xian zai jiu shi</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>好像飞机也可以做东西这样:hao xiang fei ji ye ke yi zuo dong xi zhe yang</mandarin>


you can go to many places but you go to many places then you you you you is is uh ya it's a sense of loss of privacy in a way


what do you mean like a bag of rice


when you have like technology <mandarin>就是你的:jiu shi ni de</mandarin> mind <mandarin>在其他的地方:zai qi ta de di fang</mandarin> lor then like you you you're not really like enjoying the moment kind of thing then you are like doing other things at the same time so at the convenience lah the convenience has like given a like come at a cost lah


which brings me to my wish you well nowadays quite tired so I I wish was maybe more time to sleep cause really <mandarin>好像时间不够了:hao xiang shi jian bu gou le</mandarin> when one day twenty four hours really not enough lah you see you go to work


from eight to five there is about wait let me count ah eight nine ten eleven twelve one two, about, oh right ya then eight hours then nine hours okay lah then total <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> nine hours <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> travel <mandarin>那边:na bian</mandarin> travel <mandarin>回家就是:hui jia jiu shi</mandarin> eleven hours


then that leaves you with thirteen hours right, so thirteen hours then <mandarin>一个人至少要有:yi ge ren zhi shao yao you</mandarin> like seven hours of sleeping so that leaves you six hours then six hours <mandarin>你也是要:ni ye shi yao</mandarin> factor in <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> breakfast ah <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> dinner ah


ya lah but if there is more time then maybe got more time to sleep more time to rest like the day will be longer because sometimes I feel like


there's this there's this thought there's this thought that <mandarin>时间:shi jian</mandarin> is a human construct,


then people count like that


you have is like is like being controlled lah in a way


like you know sometimes we humans we want to do lots of things ah then <mandarin>就是时间有限:jiu shi shi jian you xian</mandarin> lor, like every time like like like like your work ah like you always feel like you


you kind of feel that you don't have time to complete your work <mandarin>所以:suo yi</mandarin> it's like me like that lah I bring work home I think a lot of people do this now of days they bring work home <mandarin>就是每天:jiu shi mei tian</mandarin> accomplish as much as they can lah but then like when they <mandarin>就是这样做的时候:jiu shi zhe yang zuo de shi hou</mandarin> they feel not enough time to rest not enough time to do that so like in a way <mandarin>就是他们的:jiu shi ta men de</mandarin> life <mandarin>不是很:bu shi hen</mandarin> balanced lah


but they don't like like maybe maybe it would be better if we like <mandarin>我们的时间就是有:wo men de shi jian jiu shi you</mandarin> equal time <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> like we we separate work ah <mandarin>就是九个:jiu shi jiu ge</mandarin> hour then after that maybe another three hour <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> rest then another three hour another six hour <mandarin>就是睡觉那种:jiu shi shui jiao na zhong</mandarin> then another another few hour maybe to play that kind of thing maybe if people if maybe I feel lah maybe if we like


have a more fixed, like uh what do you call that <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> like how we divide our time more fixed maybe it will be more managed for us lor


, , so you feel is like more he he didn't manage his stress well or he


I feel maybe that's a good way like when you don't talk about work you don't constantly think about it mull about it so in a way you kind of live world to world maybe that was what he was doing all this while


!wah!, eat chocolate in school


no leh, then but I feel like nowadays, so like your form of robinsons <mandarin>就是我们的:jiu shi wo men de</mandarin> form of online shopping in a way


when or like bubble tea that kind of thing <mandarin>所以就是:suo yi jiu shi</mandarin> it's like maybe derive the same satisfaction but from different different sources ah


remember decision fatigue ah


makes me think ah my second dream my wish, cause there's this show on netflix called uh black mirror so there is about like technology and how like


uh, and like I don't know I find that I find that idea quite interesting like wouldn't you want to like


that old thing this kind of makes me sad for a moment it's like you wish you can playback certain happy memories and relive in again lah but there's this part in the episode where he


he he kept replaying this part where I think something about his wife cheating on him then like, it's a very !wah! I think about the episode makes me feel sad I don't know why like <mandarin>他一直想他的老婆:ta yi zhi xiang ta de lao po</mandarin> like cheating on him kind of thing so it make him very angry and then like he keep like playing the bad memories over and over and over <mandarin>就是现实他去看他老婆的时候:jiu shi xian shi ta qu kan ta lao po de shi hou</mandarin> he felt that bitterness and anger when he saw her


so like you know like it's a good as in I only want I wish for the better part I wish to play like maybe you know like last time when I was young that kind of feeling <mandarin>不用想那么多东西:bu yong xiang na me duo dong xi</mandarin> live in that kind of fantasy land that kind of thing <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> you know when you come back to reality to have to deal with this sort of thing


, ya quite interesting though like, like you keep playing as in this idea lah that you go back to the old memories


what you mean they categorise it then then they put, oh


they they choose they trying to they trying their best to like just push it down push it down push it down lah,


quite interesting though like as in, the the it's quite funny ah this topic about how like we wish for something ah hen normally wishes is for the future but now <mandarin>我们想要回去这样:wo men xiang yao hui qu zhe yang</mandarin> like it's quite funny because


as we humans right we are like kind of in the present moment we don't really know what's happening in the future so I just don't know I just think about then it find it a bit <mandarin>怪啦:guai la</mandarin> how come we don't wish for <mandarin>就是未来更好:jiu shi wei lai geng hao</mandarin> but we wish to be as good as last time how come we don't think about the future <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> better things this kind of thing


so you wish for more equal society in a way


oh right, a bird park


eh but now different ah now got COVID already then like <mandarin>很难有外国人来这边:hen nan you wai guo ren lai zhe bian</mandarin> then <mandarin>这里的外国人也不可以回去这样:zhe li de wai guo ren ye bu ke yi hui qu zhe yang</mandarin> so everyone is sort of like stuck so like <mandarin>现在那些什么啊什么:xian zai nei xie shen me a shen me</mandarin> MMC <mandarin>那种要飞来飞去都飞不了:na zhong yao fei lai fei qu dou fei bu liao</mandarin> all grounded already so like isn't it <mandarin>就是他们的:jiu shi ta men de</mandarin> foreign worker <mandarin>现在就是:xian zai jiu shi</mandarin> like this part of the politic world maybe has sort of like stopped


most of them do that


singapore one easy easy money to get lah


uh


not a lot of barry ah is it


so you wish that in the future, for me I find <mandarin>就是想未来这些愿望很难了:jiu shi xiang wei lai zhe xie yuan wang hen nan le</mandarin> because like


I feel that I'm at the point where, I'm currently working to a better future but <mandarin>就是我知道自己可以:jiu shi wo zhi dao zi ji ke yi</mandarin> wish <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> wish <mandarin>那个啦可是:na ge la ke shi</mandarin> like, the the the the more realism more <mandarin>就是现实的我啊:jiu shi xian shi de wo a</mandarin> look at my current situation


how to say ah like I will tell myself , these kind of dreams <mandarin>就是有时可以实现有时可能不能实现:jiu shi you shi ke yi shi xian you shi ke neng bu neng shi xian</mandarin> very hard to determine lah at your current state like so many things sometimes can change ah like you see now the COVID <mandarin>就是很多人:jiu shi hen duo ren</mandarin> like they wish maybe they wish uh I wish I can go overseas then <mandarin>他们去:ta men qu</mandarin> book then now the COVID thing now they cannot fulfill that dream so for me I feel very apprehensive <mandarin>讲我现在以后的愿望:jiang wo xian zai yi hou de yuan wang</mandarin> lah


there are


pretty interesting eh because, like <mandarin>好像这个:hao xiang zhe ge</mandarin> foreigner <mandarin>的问题:de wen ti</mandarin> like very happening so many times already I remember <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> when I was in JC that time ah this foreigner and all this xenophobia thing was still


like people scared the unknown <mandarin>那种啊:na zhong a</mandarin> I don't know very hard to describe it


you know, (uh huh), the form


this is quite interesting actually, will you wish for three more wishes


health is a, it is a good thing, health


I think can be done but in a more adapted way lor, you know


and have to say at around so actually in singapore no lah I think so we we are still okay I don't think


like Kiasu a bit lah, can already


I wish, I wish , I wish, ya lor <mandarin>这次长大:zhe ci zhang da</mandarin> then


then maybe stay in a relatively nice house have a comfortable kind of life ah <mandarin>就会:jiu hui</mandarin> retire <mandarin>好像日本那些日本老人啊:hao xiang ri ben nei xie ri ben lao ren a</mandarin> they have a very they have a very like what you say oh


they do take things seriously when they work obviously because they work for very long hours ah but when they retire <mandarin>就是他们:jiu shi ta men</mandarin> live <mandarin>一个很:yi ge hen</mandarin> simple 的 life <mandarin>这样哦:zhe yang o</mandarin> like they very happy just like I don't know I find 他们很喜欢 they they have this idea where they are happy with a lot of little things lor <mandarin>就是好像你说的你的第一个愿望就是:jiu shi hao xiang ni shuo de ni de di yi ge yuan wang jiu shi</mandarin> like go back to a more simpler life lah


maybe that's what everyone wishes also,


how much is it, so expensive


but now nowadays how much is it eh


nowadays you go outside also can just rent lah also not even fifty hundred dollars like that


no no space lah now then come to think of it now ah <mandarin>好像在:hao xiang zai</mandarin> COVID season <mandarin>里啊那些:li a nei xie</mandarin> mobike <mandarin>啊那些:a nei xie</mandarin> bike <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> company how come where they go ah like all disappeared


where where did you see them


as in but it's not the scan type is it, !huh! okay


wait you went for this class, !huh! <mandarin>几时:ji shi</mandarin> eh, what


wait then how old was I ah, oh wait I cannot imagine you on the bike eh


very obvious eh last time your class was it the same like that


then got people, then got people cheat or not ah


oh my gosh


then what other classes you go for


like after the warm up ah, then <mandarin>你讲我去厕所:ni jiang wo qu ce suo</mandarin> then you disappear


oh my god


, oh my god


, so worse than going to a wrong okay maybe no maybe the same as going to a wrong movie


!hey! how's your day today


(mmhmm), (uh huh)


!wah! <mandarin>你的那个:ni de na ge</mandarin> competition <mandarin>很长:hen zhang</mandarin> eh <mandarin>为什么会这样长:wei shen me hui zhe yang chang</mandarin> eh


, how long have you been going for such competition already


(mmhmm)


, (mmhmm)


but I told you before I had to play pub G better, ya, and, so your your competition like <mandarin>你没有:ni mei you</mandarin> like


, ya of course we always go like on adventures ah with you like sea aquarium then sometimes we also go like


ya,


burnt basque cheesecake right, in the end in the end <mandarin>我们走走走走到来我们就:wo men zou zou zou zou dao lai wo men jiu</mandarin> , the cheesecake was sold out I think that was like the funniest thing because we


wanted to walk this twenty KM to, make us lose the calories so that we deserve to eat a cake, and then in the end the cake was sold out so I think that was good lah in a way we, both lost the calories hopefully we lost some weight, thanks to that but I think now I gained back all the weight that I have lost then probably lost only one KG water weight


then I get it up back now


ya, , no I think on a deeper level I think we saw, probably like the income distribution of singapore like definitely when we walked to you know sixth avenue botanic gardens


we definitely saw like the more expensive housing some houses, where in one house there's actually a parking lot and a swimming pool inside, it's like a parking lot that can actually hold up to like five cars in one household, I mean there's like extremely wealthy people in singapore and then when we walked further down to farrer road that's where we see the HDB so I think that on a deeper level


I think like more than just having fun in our, uh you know our mini hike, I guess we get we also like see like the society I guess ya and also, , ya I guess that that is one part and oh ya I wanted to say that like


eh this twenty KM really like, it's very comparable to your army our army during your army you have to do like a road march and stuff like that right so I really wanted to, you know hit the twenty four KM but I think we just gave up at twenty KM cause


like both our feet were, dying, I think that was actually very fun I saw how you struggled with your blister I think that was very funny


, ya like ya you did mention that your, shoe wasn't seasoned, ya the shoe that I wore was like we bought it from france my adidas continental, and then I think it's like oh my god that's seriously like my best buy ever like


like <mandarin>如果:ru guo</mandarin> hor, that like in there in in in singapore I mean


ya, ,


the <mandarin>那时:na shi</mandarin> the the uh the next day <mandarin>你脚酸:ni jiao suan</mandarin> ah


(mmhmm) (hmm)


ya so ya I'm glad you mentioned about ritual so, eh did I tell you how I got about how I got ritual in the first place, err ya so like remember I told you that I interned right


then after that uh then I followed one of my intern friends on Instagram, then I saw her referral link, it's like so it's like it was like I think, close to seventy percent off, ya so like it was like I think hundred and fifty for two weeks then after that right


that's the usual price like, hundred and fifty for two weeks, so now is just only like forty dollars for two weeks


but okay lah maybe the <mandarin>那那那个有点夸张:na na na ge you dian kua zhang</mandarin> not damn painful but, ya but it's still a good workout done so like, uh <mandarin>有跟你分享我的运动:you gen ni fen xiang wo de yun dong</mandarin> right <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> like squats burpees mountain climbers


ya but <mandarin>我每天去的时候就是不同的运动而且就不:wo mei tian qu de shi hou jiu shi bu tong de yun dong er qie jiu bu</mandarin> I feel like, is like more motivated to do the workout because there's like different variations, ya so I think I will send you the workouts as well I will like I will remember I will take picture of like the workouts that we do


and then I can send over to you so that you also, workout it's like a very short twenty minute session like it's really short but painful but, I mean once twenty minutes is over and done with then like it's done I really love like the aesthetic of the gym


so like they have this like, they have this like art, which is like hung onto the wall it says like, it's own uh it says that, twenty minutes is only two percent of your day, and I feel that that really resonated with me like it's only twenty it's only two percent of my day it's it's like there's no reason why I can't


squeeze one workout in, so here am I trying to convince you, so get your ass moving


, ya so there's like


diet <mandarin>叫做:jiao zuo</mandarin> low carb


ya I think like also another reason why we wanted to add why I kind of like forced this diet on him is because, , ya I I saw that my grandma is having diabetes and, like like looking at her go through


, her like her battle with diabetes was like really tough so like, uh, I just didn't want the same thing to happen to my boyfriend here because he is, not even close to overweight he is overweight so


for healthy reasons I have been asking him to go on a diet so hopefully he can go back to the normal range not under the, overweight range, and he has been very salty about it


you <mandarin>你眼睛看下面这个一大大的肚子是什么:ni yan jing kan xia mian zhe ge yi da da de du zi shi shen me</mandarin> !huh!


I'm not buying it,


ya in, I like to note that even though it's just twenty minutes right but literally some times when the workout is like, strenuous enough right, even when I get back home which is like thirty minutes later right from the ritual place back to home


like my heart is still pumping real fast, so it goes to shows that the workout right like even after twenty minutes of that work of that time that you are working out that after exercise period, your heart is still really pumping a lot so it goes to shows that


you know your body is working you are burning off calories and like your metabolism as shooting up and I did tell you right <mandarin>我最近:wo zui jin</mandarin> like


energy so like, this so I'm like the only way to so that's why like so many energy is lost so, I am just feeling hungry all the time so I kind of like replenish it


not out of control but in moderation, okay


just, you know tolerate this period and then like for this period you just, go back to your normal weight okay and then we will do all sorts in order to maintain your current weight so that next time no matter how much you eat


you can just maintain your weight you know like my sister, it's like on days she can like eat a lot but the next day she will make sure that she will eat let's say a salad or no carb to make sure that her weights go backs to normal so, is really a lifestyle more than just


like a fleeting motivation, (mmhmm)


ya but zermatt is different because, he has he already has muscles and muscles naturally burn more calories than fats and so like no matter how much he eat right, because he already has so much muscles on him, it is actually like alright because like


he has because like the amount that he is eating in is actually less than the amount of calories he's expanding, so, if I mean so he's definitely he's always in a calorie I mean maybe not always but he's definitely on a calorie deficit on days that's why he's able to maintain his weight


into abs okay, uh called, err


you're smarter


but at the same time ya it's true that, okay not what I say is true but, I guess, ladies are just a little but more negative about their, body outlook I think that is something that I mean it's always, it's always a topic for discussion ah like how women uh how females are or you know


always at the, the front or at the or or at the centre of you know uh body images issues and stuff like that, and actually I feel like because that really stems from how, you know


men and society in general have objectify women many decades ago, so that's why there's this , issue going on, but ya it's a little bit too deep for now like, let me just let's just switch to


uh, switch to a, more lighthearted topic so, let me just ask you if you have, three wishes, what would you, wish for


I've a I want to buy a lot of clothes I want to buy a lot of skincare, I want to do a lot of facial pamper myself I mean apart from that


uh it's also like or maybe like I can bring my family, to you know to those big restaurants like my mom and my dad certainly wants to eat Omakase which is a japanese cuisine, she recently have like a interest in it and you know Omakase in singapore is really not cheap


like it's about like ninety nine dollars the cheapest I found was like ninety nine dollars and even then, they want to go us they want us to go as a family so there's like about six of us, so six times ninety nine that's like six hundred dollars for one meal, ya so it's like it's really expensive so like <mandarin>你可以看得出:ni ke yi kan de chu</mandarin> ah like <mandarin>在新加坡要:zai xin jia po yao</mandarin> like


<mandarin>能够:neng gou</mandarin> fulfil all our desires, ya, Omakase is where like you sit in front of a chef and the chef would actually hand make sushi for you and like it goes


it it it goes in a really small portion lah so like they will probably offer you like two to three, sushi at one time and that probably goes on for like I don't know nine, nine rounds I don't know you are the japanese guru so you tell me if I'm right or wrong


, actually Omakase was one of the consideration but, <mandarin>另外一个:ling wai yi ge</mandarin> option <mandarin>就是带你去吃你最喜欢的:jiu shi dai ni qu chi ni zui xi huan de</mandarin> sushi buffet


so that one was at macpherson and definitely way cheaper than Omakase so the Omakase the cheapest I found was like hundred and fifty, oh I'm sorry ninety nine dollars but for the buffet it was only, thirty five dollars per pax ya so and I honestly think you would honestly enjoy it cause


if I'm not wrong it has most of your favourite items like Sashimi and Mentaiko sushi, and stuff like that so that was ya even even me saying it right now I'm feeling so hungry, ya I really want to eat it as well ya


oh ya


you know that's a very lame pun that you made from my english to chinese, translation right there and you know that if you embark on this buffet your diet, will be gone okay it's not going to work and we already mentioned once you hit


your agreed weight we will go on a buffet okay, so, your first wish is to have a stable income so what is the second one


okay if you say it that way


(mmhmm) so, I think I'm a little bit different from yours you say that you want to have a happy life I mean sorry a happy family, definitely that is one of mine but, I think, at the current state of my family I'm pretty alright but what I do wish to work on though and what I wish


that I hope it will be granted is that, I want to maintain closer ties with my current groups of friends, cause I like the ideas of like you know having <mandarin>朋友到老:peng you dao lao</mandarin> so like, you know when you are old you don't you not do you not only do you have your family to


rely on you also have your friends to talk about so like for example if we are all back in the working world then <mandarin>我们就:wo men jiu</mandarin> like , and #jia yi# and #shee ni# has gone to Bangkok together like last year so it'd be great if


uh <mandarin>我们老的时候也可以:wo men lao de shi hou ye ke yi</mandarin> like you know <mandarin>一起去:yi qi qu</mandarin> , so <mandarin>有一个陪伴:you yi ge pei ban</mandarin> is always good, ya


yes, err right now I want to go to japan in fact I have I've been to I've never been to a lot of, uh asian countries like japan


, uh korea I've been to korea when I was really young so I can't really remember so I don't take it as I've been to korea, so, asian countries like japan korea hong kong taiwan china I've


I won't I really all never been there cause I feel that, when I was younger my dad likes to go to exotic places so he will bring us to like, like I don't know like, turkey Istanbul Dubai so it's like I've been to really weird places that not really


they are not, normal people would want to explore, so ya so now that I'm older I want to explore like our neighbouring countries neighbouring asian countries


ya on the topic of travelling like, not only like seeing the sights I also want to eat the local food like I absolutely want to try the, authentic japanese cuisine so the real authentic Sashimi


so like I've never tried before, and I want to go korea and eat the real Jajangmyeon and I don't know , which is in in english uh would be chinese chinese black bean, noodles Jajangmyeon ya right


reading off from the menu, of the korean menu ya so, ya I really like the idea of travelling with family and friends also which brings to my it which is why my second wish is to, maintain the friendship I mean get closer to my group maintain and get closer to my current group of friends


ya so, if I'm not wrong Jajangmyeon even though it's uh even though it is widely known to be from korean the country of origin if I'm not wrong is actually from china


actually they have oh and also I actually watched a documentary like literally , uh earlier today, so


the documentary was, about , <mandarin>刀削面:dao xiao mian</mandarin> which is , knife cut noodles, so knife cut noodles actually originated in the province of <mandarin>山西:shan xi</mandarin> and in the province of <mandarin>山西:shan xi</mandarin> alone


they have hundred and fifty different ways, of cutting a noodle, ya so which is really really interesting which I will not bore you further, ya, so we ya


I guess it's just the art of cutting noodles for them I mean ah we're obviously we are not locals so we wouldn't know, but anyway let's not delve into this different entirely different topic, but so now we are onto our last wish


where is your last what is the last wish


a fantasy like ability, (hmm) already sounds a little bit, interesting and weird as you are, you might want to elaborate more


, and it also made me realise that our first two wishes are pretty realistic, until you mentioned about fantasy


so, ya I feel like we already we are, uh we are a bit too practical as of now with our wishes might not have to be practical and that is something that I didn't think, about, (hmm) you make me want to change my last wish leh like that like to be something more fantasy like


, okay okay I think for my third wish right can I do a part A and part B


for my third wish, okay fine okay so I give you two versions of, what my third wish will be like, and then you you can help me to start


so for my third wish if we're following the way of practicality, then I want to my last wish I want it to be for me to be healthy, she battling with diabetes and stuff like that so


I do want to, ensure that in the future I don't, have to experience such you know, , so called dramatic health


uh health uh, uh issues so, ya so


so I think that is very important so I don't burden my family, with my health issues so and most importantly we can also like you know save on the healthcare expenses


so especially now it's so expensive you know healthcare, so even though that we have this like you know healthcare subsidies like the CHAS card, seems like it's not really doing a lot anyway so, ya


ya so after hearing my wish are you more inclined to lose weight and be healthy, ya so, so just now I told you about my last wish if we are following the line of the practicality


but if we were to switch things up and to, uh make things a little bit more fantasy like, then my last wish, then I have to think about it what is my last wish going to be like


I think my last wish I want to be if it's superpower related I want to be able to do mind control, like professor X, so being able to you know, look into people's brains and then you know somehow alter their decisions to make it benefit to benefit myself


so you know let me just use my shopping experience like, do some mind power, technique and then she will make me like, she can be able she will be able to give me the clothes for free and basically <mandarin>什么我什么都能做:shen me wo shen me dou neng zuo</mandarin> it's like nothing is impossible


so if we are talking about tangible things wouldn't it be, obvious or logical to actually ask for a genie lamp, so we can always ask for more wishes from the genie lamp, right if that if


we can ask, any object in the world I would want to ask to, be able to possess a genie lamp so whenever if I want to have a wish to make a wish I just simply, rub the genie lamp and then after when I wish and then my wish will get granted


but I thought we are going on a fantasy, , path if you are going on a if you are going to the land of fantasy then, your idea your object is too practical and, and when I was referring to the genie lamp I was referring that, I can get unlimited wishes not just three


so I can you know wish whatever I want and whatever I want and it will be get it will be granted


ya talking about having a magic house rather than a metric house, definitely in the future I want smart house, everything like you know the vacuum cleaner cleans the floor by itself then just with a


clap of my fingers or with my two, , sorry not a clap of my two fingers , clap of my two hands, and then like the lights will switch on


and stuff like that I think that will be pretty cool and recently I came across like this projector, so like we can have a mini cinema in our house also you know at at the comfort of our own bedroom I think that would be really really cool, ya so


I think definitely ya on the idea of having magic homes I think smart home is really, the way to go in the next, I mean in in my future I definitely want to have it, then what about you


ya I think it works both ways at the same time like you know even uh as a monitor, I mean even on TV all we just do is like watch Netflix and you know connect our HDMI, to you know online streaming websites to watch our videos


a monitor lah you know use the monitor as our, TV, a big a big monitor as our TV so we can serve both Netflix and at the same time do our work on such a big screen


well today has been actually a very busy day for me cause, you know today when I woke up I had to go for this mobile legends competition so when I went for the competition


it started at, I think


I think cause there were sixteen teams playing, so in order for everyone to play enough and also because it's a best of three round for every stage of the competition, each game took up about I think close to an hour and a half


so since there were sixteen team teams uh, time just flew by, !wow! , actually started playing this mobile legends competitively


since I returned from exchange, so I had an exchange on, for last semester so I just came back in around I think it was january, so we came back in january then , ever since then me and my team has been playing consistently


for all the, past weekends so all the weekends have been uh very busy that's why I haven't had time to go out with you


what did you sure does not really have sued you still you have been like a mobile game <mandarin>错:cuo</mandarin> like computer games right


so <mandarin>中学的时候就开始玩这种:zhong xue de shi hou jiu kai shi wan zhe zhong</mandarin>


so mobile games <mandarin>他们就叫:ta men jiu jiao</mandarin> MOBA short form for mobile games lah, so these kind of games is where we where I discovered eh I had I had a talent for it that I actually can make it into the pro scene


so that's when I realised I liked it lah, and then also I'm trying to get my girlfriend you, to start playing uh mobile legends also so that we have more common topics to to play and talk about


okay definitely conflicts happen during training cause , the guy the boys and me we definitely want to make it, uh eventually to the pro scene, so we all make our training we take all our trainings very very seriously


so when we train on a daily basis every night, uh definitely we're bound to read into certain disagreements like we feel that certain champions are, are stronger than others so we said why not we started start learning and training some of the champions but


I guess sometimes there's a conflict of interest when we say like eh this champion does not suit my play style, and I don't want to play it, so when I think the words that we use might be a bit too harsh when we say I don't want to play this, but we all know that if we start learning this champion is for the benefit of the entire team


so that's where conflicts might start by saying like eh why you so selfish why you want to feel that why don't you want to learn something that is beneficial for the whole team, you know especially if you want to make it into the pro scene every championship we play both for you, so you


definitely it is stressful but I'm very fortunate to have a girlfriend, that is uh very understanding


so I think, uh okay


you must understand my time I spend with you is something I cherish you know, but I understand okay okay so far studies have been okay cause I spend, monday to friday, most of it studying, so I only spend like around two to three hours at night after seven then I will start playing


then I'll stop then I'll return resume work, so I think it's okay cause is a good uh balance between work and play, I think like what the saying goes like you know play makes uh jack a dull boy, ya I think is is very true so if I if I only study and I had no mobile legends


it might have been boring but I think it has been quite fun cause ever since I met you, I think life has been quite fun we go out a lot we on dates and I really enjoy myself actually ya, do you do you enjoy time with me


okay let me ask you


actually that's uh quite interesting actually I feel that, that whole experience we had was really really fun, definitely the , the end I would say end result which was supposed to be the perfect burnt basque cheesecake


was not available sure that sucked but, the experience we had was something I would never, we definitely challenged and surpassed the human limits cause I believed no one in the right mind


would walk, twenty kilometres, at you know you know what I know what you're thinking at night probably at night but nope, we started walking at ten AM, ten, freaking AM


and because of that right I think, ya I think because of that uh we really bonded and I really enjoyed the sceneries that we saw, I think we on our road there we actually saw a lot of this kind of


beautiful landed properties right there was some houses that were three to four stories high and and I think that was really really fun (ppc) ya


(mmhmm)


ya ya actually that's true ah when I was walking that twenty kilometres my feet hurt like crazy cause, I think the shoes I was wearing were too tight so because of that, blisters form


I think that's true, I want to have I wanted to buy their adidas continentals for such a long time, but I think cause my feet was like I have a broad I have broad feet you know from birth so, a lot of shoes when I go shoe hunting, just doesn't fit me a lot of good shoes that I have previously I forced my feet into the shoes and because of that I think I have a lot of bunions


that formed at the side of my feet


uh I had to season my shoes with tennis balls


so I had to shove four tennis balls into my feet no into my boots, to to ensure that the width of the uh boots were wide enough for my feet you know


I had to always after I take out my shoe my feet had to shove the tennis balls immediately after so like, my friends will always be asking like dan what are you doing you know why are you shoving your balls, in the boot


, it's good memories good memories ya I really enjoyed my time in the army, but definitely not not looking forward to wearing the boots again


ya of course my feet definitely were very sore, , actually it wasn't just just sore it also hurt really badly you know, and it wasn't just the the feet I think


after walking twenty kilometres right my thighs hurt, my butt was sore I don't know why my butt was sore but it was really sore then , my ankles and my calves were were pretty much dead whenever I tried to get out of bed is !wah! I okay


I really think that walking for long distance right it's a full body workout, you know you engage every single muscle in your body, and I think when you are walking upstairs okay there were a lot of stairs we climbed right and I always say that I always told you whenever we saw a stairs


I'm pretty sure this is a stairway to heaven you know, or like this is the highway to hell when we are walking along the expressways , I was losing my mind, was a fun experience ah, definitely not something I would do again err anytime soon, anytime soon


but I would say I would like to do it at least monthly, monthly or ya I think monthly will be good cause the exercise we get was, pretty solid


placebo effect, when you walk you feel you losing weight you feel you are slim


but we sit down then everything comes back everything


it's a foreign concept, throw it out the window, but definitely I understand that I have been living a very sedentary lifestyle recently lah but, err


I've been trying to run when cause recently you signed up for a ritual membership right, maybe you can share it again our viewers don't really know


actually


oh, uh <mandarin>参加这个:can jia zhe ge</mandarin> ritual <mandarin>的这个运动呢可以岂止在我们的:de zhe ge yun dong ne ke yi qi zhi zai wo men de</mandarin> Instagram platform <mandarin>上找一下:shang zhao yi xia</mandarin> clarissa Ho


anyways so we're talking about this ritual , exercise yes definitely you have been forcing me to want to exercise with you


and I haven't I am guilty to have not been exercising, uh as what she wanted, but I definitely have been on a diet regime so would you like to share what this diet regime is and why am I on this diet regime you mah


embarked on I I was seventy six uh KGs now I'm actually seventy three, so I technically already lost three KGs because of the low carb diet


that was something very cute, and ya I think the the deal we have is still still holds first , my beautiful girlfriend here she said that if I reach the, weight of seventy two, which is close to the healthy range


she would treat me sushi buffet


yes definitely salty cause I feel that the the big bulk of my weight is, is from my bones and my muscles


it acts like a styrofoam, layer that protects the valuable jewels which are my abs you know, these abs individually right, chizzled, perfect diamonds


that's me, but definitely okay I definitely will be trying to incorporate these uh ritual, okay these modified ritual exercises that you are that you have been sending me because she knows that I don't have any home equipment at home, so all I have is actually body weight and I am recently very into uh calisthenics so I'm very into push-ups body weight trainings and


thankfully clar actually has been, modifying the ritual exercises that she do, to try and fit the home exercise routines that I can possibly do at home, in my free time cause like what she said twenty minutes uh exercises only takes up like what two percent of the entire day


so I think is valid that I can definitely squeeze something like this in, uh into my whatever busy schedule we have cause definitely if honours and all other modules that we are doing in school, time is something that not every student has the luxury of ya


actually what you said is something very interesting you know I recently actually saw a video on Youtube that talk about uh passive uh fat burning processes, so they actually said that their intense exercises right can actually cause you to have a, continuous fat burn for the next forty eight hours and that's two days


I think that's really very very interesting and, I don't know okay if you actually say that the exercises cause your metabolism to raise high and cause you eat more, then I fear for myself you know cause I naturally, have a huge appetite like a huge appetite


like I eat, for example a Subway, six inch loaf you know, and I'm not full, you know I need the whole foot long sometimes, and I'm controlling myself you know I I eat half, control


but I'm afraid you know, that at the end of the twenty minute works workouts that I incorporate into my life you know, I will get so hungry, and I can't control, what if I actually eat, six inch you know at the start and then I eat six inch again


for dinner, you know I get fat


actually what you said is very interesting you know recently we have actually been studying a lot about the Mukbang culture because of our four thousand level, uh marketing mod in NUS, so, the Mukbang culture has this very famous uh youtuber called zermatt Neo you know and he actually is a personal health trainer


at the same time a competitive eater, and because of this he has to eat large amounts of food you know he's just like me but instead of being large amounts of food for short periods of time, I eat large amount of foods, all my life, I can technically be a zermatt Neo


two point O, two point O, but I get it but what he actually does is that he eats a lot, but on a usual day basis when he's not having or prepping for this kind of huge uh food challenges or food meals, apparently our friend said that he's eating a lot of nuts a lot of like uh


diet food to ensure that his weight is not is uh normal and that he actually can maintain his six pack abs you know, for a competitive eater, I would have thought, six pack abs were a dream you know you having eat


uh for example he recently ate like a hundred dollar oyster omelet you know B, and because of this right, I would think he would have been fat, like way fatter than me like come on I can't even finish hundred dollar worth of oyster egg even if I do, I will be in the hospital


high blood pressure high cholesterol <mandarin>糖尿病:tang niao bing</mandarin> I tell you #long zhong# have, ya everything will be down you know


ya I I definitely want to have abs you know abs have been uh


but then again I realise this is something that all guys face you know you know recently I saw an Instagram post that guys when they see themselves in a mirror, they see a god you know they see a male god hercules maybe even


but when females actually see themselves in the mirror right they see that they they see the worst they see all the flaws that they have so , it's something interesting you know something interesting to know


!wow! that's actually a very drastic change in topic ah, I get it I get it you know sometimes the topic of our body image might be sensitive you know to our viewers especially also, and I think this podcast has been quite interesting lah


stable income because


I saw my parents struggle, you know financially I saw how uh trying singapore's economy, was you know and how difficult it was to actually, uh have a family in singapore because


a dream of mine was to always to have to be rich


there's no worry in the world, so that's something that I really want and that's what I've been working so hard for you know that's why I've been studying so hard in school, you know I'm doing my best to ensure that it for every internship I have that everyone has actually a good impression of me


so that's a wish of mine to have a, I think that's my first wish to be able to have a stable income and to be possibly rich in the future


what is an Omakase actually


cause okay I I what I know about the Omakase, food, style is basically what the chef decides you know and, ultimately it differs you know that's why I asked you like what what do you mean by Omakase cause, I feel that Omakase actually differs from every restaurant and every chef


some can be a set meal like some can be just a one dish like, this is what I want to cook and you you just eat it, that is what I have in my mind, but for what you're thinking of I from what she described just now it felt like a probably about four course or five course meal, and that was really very interesting you know and I think


I think that was something you wanted to bring me on my birthday too right Omakase ya, how much was it for the plan that you wanted to bring me for


actually this drawing this back to our first topic about losing weight right, sushi buffet, sushi <mandarin>不肥:bu fei</mandarin> (uh huh), sushi


sushi, during my diet regime


!wow! that's a very good uh diversion of topic ah okay let's back to the topic about wishes okay


ya marriage, so, ya I think that would be nice


why, I will not marry you oh, okay okay I'm not asking for a beating , but yes I think what I like is to have a happy marriage you know


I think everyone wants to have relationship goals right like to have a happy marriage happy life happy happy wife happy life you know, so I would like to have a happy marriage because


I will be very lost you know I will I'll feel like okay, I want to have a happy marriage so I need a plan


and I feel that with this wish, I will no longer need to be that stressed over a plan you know cause I can just wish okay I want to have, a happy wedding a happy uh marriage so I can just marry you, now maybe, and then you know it will be smooth you know no quarrels


smooth sailing but the thing is I'm not sure if that's a good wish, you know chinese did have this saying <mandarin>吃得苦中苦方为人上人:chi de ku zhong ku fang wei ren shang ren</mandarin> when uh <mandarin>酸甜苦辣:suan tian ku la</mandarin> you know experience life's, different flavours with your partner you know so definitely we have to have some ups and downs you know if it's always up


eventually it will plateau, so I don't know, that might not be a very good wish from my but something I do want to have


is that a subtle hint for you for me to bring you on more, overseas trips ya, so where would you like to go, miss, claire


!wow! that's actually very different from my experiences you know, I think , I okay I don't I don't fly much I only recently started flying going overseas after the age of sixteen, and I have only covered the asian countries you know so there's my dream was always to cover the more exotic [ones] I've never gone to the US


and only after this exchange program I've actually covered europe, so I think, that's where a conflict of interest lies I definitely won't mind going to asia with you uh I think is is cheap you know taiwan has great food Bangkok has cheap buys


and japan is my favourite country you know it's the land where I feel I belong, in korea is just, Oppa land you know, it's the place where


I actually just wondering is Jajangmyeon, you know the chinese <mandarin>炸酱面:zha jiang mian</mandarin> it's the same right


why do you need a hundred and fifty ways to cut noodle, noodle, you cut one time cut, throw in the soup noodle <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> noodle


my last wish ah !wow! so we're back to the wish topic again okay okay sounds is I think it's not bad, okay my last wish is , I think it's something more fantasy like you know I'm thinking of a fantasy kind of ability


okay lah I feel that


, okay cause it has always been a childhood dream of mine to be have, to have the ability to teleport anywhere I want you know, with the ability to teleport


so that's something interesting that I feel that this ability something that I would like


of having this uh ability to to teleport


so, okay what kind of wish do you want then if you want to have a more fantasy like which is it a superpower, or is it something like a a fantasy kind of animal you know I feel that all girls may want a unicorn


part A and part B eh that's cheating if you have a part B I need to have a part B


actually the healthcare subsidies in singapore ah I feel, while it is a lot it doesn't really help those people that are poor though so like what you said lah it makes sense like it's true healthcare costs are very high, but those that really need it is really expensive so I understand I totally feel that having a wish for being healthy is definitely good it helps you save money


and it makes your, loved [ones] more, uh


!wow!, that really <mandarin>非常的:fei chang de</mandarin> creative, creativity, well


cause I feel that not only is it invisible to the naked eye


err


uh I think it's not bad I think it's quite good, !wah!, okay so we have covered three wishes, is there anything else that you would like to have you know okay let's say the genie says, okay since you have why do you want special powers


I want to know, if you can have one thing okay an object in the entire world, what would you want like you can have anything you wish for, what is an object that you should like cause everything we have talked about has been experiences, your abilities and


certain, non-tangible things you know ya so what's the tangible thing you want


I mean that's really stupid actually, if you get a lamp, the genie will come out and say you have three wishes right , so assuming you already used up the three wishes, then the lamp is basically you rub the genie lamp the genie comes out the genie tells you


so I think this is a, rather ridiculous item to have you know if you get anything in the world, I don't know for myself I think I would want to have


damn what would I want, I want a house, there's unlimited electricity and water, you know a big house that cleans itself


have unlimited electricity and water I think that's a super practical idea you know it cleans itself means I have no longer need, to do my laundries, or to do any housework eh that's the best


so you are talking about a a genie then with unlimited wishes, oh I think that's not bad but for my case I think I wanted a, magic house you know it's not like a house that is practical but a magic house that cleans and have unlimited electricity and water


ah object


smart homes ya I I think definitely it will be interesting to have smart homes you know , I have been looking at smart TV's recently I want a lot of smart TV at home actually, cause okay I wanted to buy a monitor recently from the nine nine sale at Shopee, a Prism which it has a hundred uh two hundred twenty nine offer you know it's quite it's quite good


but I was telling myself why would I want, a monitor, when I can actually buy a smart TV, that can work as a monitor, but at the same time, able to function on it's own without a CPU, you know I think that's much better kind of investment rather than a


of mindless monitor


won't it, no I I think I think what you get off a monitor is a bit different from what you have in mind cause monitors actually cannot work, without CPU's you know


(ppc) it must be plugged into some kind of power source or a hard drive so smart TV's works like, such as when you for example you are using your phone, you can actually project what you watching on your phone on the TV, so let's say I watching Netflix right you can actually watch Netflix


on the T_V through your phone and I think that's something very interesting cause, it not only works, (um) like with your phone it works with a C_P_U a laptop, I think it's really it has so much more possibilities you know you can just turn it on and watch T_V by itself


, okay [orh] ah so <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> start Liao [orh]


(mmhmm), no I not really sure I don't think so


then, <mandarin>可能知道一点:ke neng zhi dao yi dian</mandarin> lah maybe I know


atrium restaurant


ya, ya, ya <mandarin>不用紧:bu yong jin</mandarin> lah never mind never mind


(uh huh), I want say like <mandarin>好像没有什么:hao xiang mei you shen me</mandarin> can talk one leh, okay ah okay ah since <mandarin>我们讲那个:wo men jiang na ge</mandarin> restaurant <mandarin>的东西:de dong xi</mandarin> I give you the prompt ah


what was the most memorable meal you have ever had and ah where you had it, horrible meal meh,


<mandarin>吵我我有一些:chao wo wo you yi xie</mandarin> !wahpiang!


ya <mandarin>每次都是这样的:mei ci dou shi zhe yang de</mandarin> lah, cannot cannot do anything lor, okay next so to, rank


ah

err, but sixteen sixties are mid range they don't really get hit by any am top ah mid top not top range ah high range whatever you call it


ah flagship that's the name, (hmm) ya, honest I I just need to play with them once ah that's why you see sometimes I lose that game but afterwards is not that bad already


like like balmond balmond I win leh, no, I just don't touch him I got so much dash he's not going to touch me he wants the minion I can give him ah


but afterwards right as about as he is about to finish his second skill I just first skill dash in second skill, ya that's why that's like

ya then, I never say is you from your mouth bro, no I know I I know you won't say anything one


ya but no the thing is you guys always path towards #zi quan's# lane


ya can tell ah but


but <mandarin>你们你也是没有问:ni men ni ye shi mei you wen</mandarin> secure anything one, then end up not securing then #zi quan# !aiya! !wah! miss


no the one is because he focus pushing what but I still I still have to hold the guy down what you guys like eh can just keep just keep the off laner inside the lane or not


ya what you all always what, ya so I have to keep the guy in lane if I just focus on pushing then, I scared no because


you you guys you guys four you guys go four on one in #zi quan's# lane, that's funny enough you guys cannot secure fast enough then end up they rotate over after I die


can of course lah


you positioning <mandarin>是可以:shi ke yi</mandarin> habitual <mandarin>的吗不可以:de ma bu ke yi</mandarin> meh


don't play lah, I don't know, quite quite generic lah I see, ya see like every other grandmaster that has posted on Reddit


legit no no no lie, legit no lie, is the is the same [orh] !wow! I touch this skill [orh] kill then next one


looks like every other game master I see maybe grandmaster lucky ah that's why they can get this savages ah, I don't know lah but I see also quite generic lah maybe it's because there's just too many of this hyper play you know


of course ah, ya lah still


post analytics is like as in how much you done per for the objectives and what not right, normally should be tank or like got flame one, ya support the first one mainly normally like post game is support do the most


that one is that one is the hardcore babysit then after that just let the hyper do everything one, that one that one that one is ya no but that one's like that one's like truly fun world already what you put everything into that one guy


okay whatever you say, no ah cannot ah that's why I say his kit is absolute garbage like in the sense of like soul


(mm)


uh


uh, what have you been up to


oh work from home ah, how's <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> experience so far with from home


, as <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> say lah, err flexible that's the most important thing, then <mandarin>又可以:you ke yi</mandarin> save transport time


then I think thanks to, situation ah but I think there's a lot of


pros to it also, like, smart nation initiative then most of us, most of the enterprises and businesses and us will have no choice but to adopt, , the use of smart gadgets and devices


in order for us to to transit smoothly to a smart nation lah, and I think, COVID nineteen in a way helps helps in this initiative, so , , not as bad as what other people say lah,


, oh, !wah! now then you ask ah, okay [orh] recently I went to do some lasik, ya


oh I think not not too bad eh now I can I restore perfect vision already plus, cost wise I think <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> it's worth it lah it's it's not a lot but, but, I think it will be worth it for the next few years because specs free <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> mah


don't have to wear spectacles anymore, ya, , your two eyes eh, you only got two eyes so anything they do to your eyes is


, something you will be scared of lor cause if anything goes wrong you will be blind mah, have you thought of wanting to do lasik


ya it's quite scary but the operation is very fast so at the end of the day, if someone ask me should I do it or not I definitely will, recommend lasik operation to the someone that want to do it lah


err, I think right after the operation right, my, I think right after operation my eyes felt very dry, then, need to keep putting eyedrops, so, err that's one part that is very Leceh lah, yeah


ya, that's true, you can't because they change the shape of the cornea so, when the shape change you can no longer wear any contact lenses already lor, but okay lah think about it you


don't have to wear specs then wear contact lenses it's also a good thing mah, right


err habits lor <mandarin>如果你:ru guo ni</mandarin> lifestyle habits <mandarin>又又又很差看电视机看到很近的话:you you you hen cha kan dian shi ji kan dao hen jin de hua</mandarin> err regression <mandarin>一定会:yi ding hui</mandarin> happen


then <mandarin>到时候你的:dao shi hou ni de</mandarin> lasik operation would be a waste lah so, must take care of your eyes lor your eyes spend so much money


yes now, yes now especially I've when I use phone right I have to sit down and use I cannot lie down and use, then now whenever I look at the computer right, I wouldn't look at it for very long hours


err


so,


so it's important that you will take good care of your eyes lah at the end of the day


yes yes


which is I think I think <mandarin>有一点:you yi dian</mandarin> far from <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> house ah but


like I can eat it for like everyday and I don't and I still won't get sick of it one, ya I would recommend you to go there and eat as well, plus it's cheap, oh, from your house I think you just take MRT down


then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> just switch line over Serangoon <mandarin>然后到从:ran hou dao cong</mandarin> Serangoon <mandarin>上去:shang qu</mandarin> kovan, then <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> shopping mall <mandarin>后面有一个:hou mian you yi ge</mandarin> hawker centre


then <mandarin>如果你要吃那个:ru guo ni yao chi na ge</mandarin> store that <mandarin>我一直去的:wo yi zhi qu de</mandarin> right, the first #bak chor mee# stall if you walk straight


the soya bean is, cheap and good thirty cents a cup leh nowhere in singapore can find already, yes that's why thirty cents only and the large cup is fifty cents and they also sell beancurd


the beancurd is only like what fifty cents eh, so if you go there I think you can get to eat a lot of different things at a very cheap price, so, I would say this area has quite, err is is is a good place to eat cheap food lah


nowadays if you talk about, is very different from what we see ten years ago mah, right <mandarin>你想一下你以前住的地方那里也不是说有很多人了:ni xiang yi xia ni yi qian zhu de di fang na li ye bu shi shuo you hen duo ren le</mandarin> mah


but if we but because of, the increase in our population size then,


besides <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> work from home <mandarin>你还有做什么东西:ni hai you zuo shen me dong xi</mandarin> ah


!wah! actually <mandarin>我也是一个:wo ye shi yi ge</mandarin> I'm a big fan of, #muah chee#, who doesn't like it right, close <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> then


is quite relevant mah, plus if I think, but I think besides


making #muah chee# you still got make any other dishes not


and I think cooking steak itself is <mandarin>像像像你讲的对:xiang xiang xiang ni jiang de dui</mandarin> lah


fats on it so that


the steak will be very, when you put in your mouth right it's it will taste buttery, ya that's the that's the that's what we want to achieve for our steak ah, but I think the difficult part is, controlling how well you want it to be done


a lot of people ah cannot escape the, extreme point of ends it's either they get too rare or they get too, err oily, or or the steak gets too, well done then, if, that happens right it wouldn't taste as well as good already, because,


most importantly for a steak is, the doneness of, the steak, ya, but, good lah at least you have this, at least you now you take, the opportunity to, learn how to make steak which is


then


spend <mandarin>时间:shi jian</mandarin> to <mandarin>研究:yan jiu</mandarin> how to make a good piece of steak, and, and of course to choose the correct steak, then I watch a lot of videos also then I experiment it here and there lah there was once that I ate it like at least twice in in a week


so after a while, I I the taste, err err I have developed a taste for steak lor, and most importantly, I still like it, till this point of time lah


so from young <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> develop <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> taste, then <mandarin>长大以后就我觉得:zhang da yi hou jiu wo jue de</mandarin> eh


err


ya I will I will think it's quite sad though like, I recently talk to my this SIA pilot friend, and he say that everyday they are like living on tenterhooks, they wouldn't know like when would be the, day that comes that they would axe


their job way lah, then recently the news <mandarin>也是有报道:ye shi you bao dao</mandarin> mah <mandarin>他们讲:ta men jiang</mandarin> oh <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> pilot, so I think it's in the four digit number leh a few thousand of them will be gone lah


then SIA, being a singapore representative brand, I think it's quite a sad thing lah, if, if, they are losing so many of our talents from the field


lose from it but I would say there are more losers than gainers lah


err, then <mandarin>这样就很:zhe yang jiu hen</mandarin> Jialat lor, because now they


have no income no anything cannot rely on savings, then they have no choice lah they will have to rely on government, but thankfully the our the government help, help them help a lot lah which I agree with you, and, thank thankfully it's because for the past generation right


our, most of our policymakers most of the businesses, they got take this, cautious, stance and approach, they save enough money enough money in our reserve, so is


so all this reserve now is, put to good use ah is to prepare us for a crisis, in such a scale, and if, people were to ask or you were to ask me right will when will all these be over right I would say, maybe at least two years ah and when will recovery take place


I would say, if we can we can go back to that state right it would be at least five years already, and, I know it's important that we should have hope, <mandarin>也是要有也是要现实一点:ye shi yao you ye shi yao xian shi yi dian</mandarin> lah


ya, after all what we hope for is to, live life to normalcy mah, you know


every day we have to live, with the fear of getting COVID which is also very not is not very good to our, psychological well being


then why not take part in a bigger project which is like this COVID ops helping, people that need help lah especially the migrant workers


and I think a lot people like shun the migrant workers, last time but now they realize actually, these foreign workers these migrant workers, migrant worker right they, actually play a very very big role in, building singapore to what it is today lah


and then we we we cannot discount for that lah and thankfully <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> government


err err thankfully <mandarin>我们就是:wo men jiu shi</mandarin> living in singapore, it's a place where, they won't abandon their citizens they won't abandon people that has helped, singapore to where it is today


then I think we should avoid one is those unscrupulous businesses like I think recently <mandarin>有这个:you zhe ge</mandarin> case


like I don't know just insurance agent in


and I think it's very unethical these are the type of places that we should boycott these are the type of people that we should avoid, intermingling or interacting with la


is not really good, for our financial planning but they sell it in a way that is good, so I think, , they are people that we should be cautious of right,


then initially was like a few thousand dollars then after they say oh


so, like


like, go against or reject <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> salesperson <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> I think <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> they are like too aggressive lah, lodge lodge a I think lodge a police report or, don't know what report lah and then try to get back to the try to like contact the business and ask them for a refund lah


eventually like the business refunded, then but I think, they are very unethical from the start lah like they shouldn't do that initially and they never even apologise, they still reply back with a statement saying that what, they are in focus on customer service their attitude and everything


so and I and I think businesses like this is, what we shouldn't support at all, we should boycott at all cost lor because of such unethical practices


yeah luckily I think, like I think traditional news outlet like all the TV news and all that, maybe can only reach a certain number of audience


not not that many but, I think with social media usage right and then with everyone glued on their phones, they are, the news are spread a lot faster and people get to receive, like news on certain, information a lot more quicker than


last time, and I think it's very good lah since now that we have, easy access, we have wide access we have convenient access to lots of information, and in that case we can, make good use of these information to help us in our decision lah, to help us make informed decision


and, I think even though, this, could potentially decrease, the, number of scams but I also would say that, due to all these online, outlets it also increases the risk as well lah so I think you can think of it as like


there's pros and cons to it, I don't know what do you think of this,


ya but I think as, as what I will say like, if social media were to be removed from your life, what what do you think will happen


impossible to like, live without, part of our, growing journey


and like what you say lah like, we use we use it to share so many moments of our life, then there's a lot of different memories through using social media, and then one good thing is also like we get different updates of, people that we have interacted before or we don't have time to talk to them anymore, then at least you know like what our friends are up to


and then it's it's good that we know what they are up to also lah, so next time when you catch up you can talk about it and, I would say, somehow might create distance but at the same time also pulling people closer, especially when you think about like <mandarin>你讲的那个:ni jiang de na ge</mandarin> overseas <mandarin>的东西:de dong xi</mandarin> right, if someone is overseas then you want to


know what about what your family is doing but, because if there's no social media then, it's very difficult what people will have to what write, people have to write email will have to, will have to write email will have to go and, write, use penwrite letter and all that thing then by then send the letter over maybe one week two week passed already


then that would be, that would be pretty bad lah, so thankfully thankfully you have social media and, I would say I I also try to restrict the amount of time that I use on it lor, because still need to focus on the things that I need to do lah and that I want to do


so social media can be err quite, a bit distract, quite a bit of a distraction if we're not careful in controlling our time, especially if we let the, younger ones, have full control of have full usage of social media, they might be too engrossed in it


they would neglect all their studies lah, and I think it's very apparent that if parents don't do something about this right, their children studies will be, their academics will be bad lah, cause to be honest social media really really take up a lot a lot of time, and
