it's a wedding no one will feel bored I feel, I have never been to a wedding where I'm like eh kau buat apa I'm like I don't know I I talk a lot I will just mix around I'll mix around with everybody or I will just eat my food you know that kind of thing so personally I I I don't I don't feel the need for a emcee lah I've always never listen to a single I usually get irritated by an emcee who talks a lot


cause for me it's like you do know that that that this event is not your event for me lah personally, you know the emcee who likes to takeover macam oh okay sekarang groom awak jumpa dia macam mana you know that kind of thing like dude dude shut up


exactly so if you want a formal one then all he does is just make announcements what, you can just get someone to do it for free you know or maybe you pay fifty dollars instead of you pay like two hundred dollars for a professional announcer you know what I mean


a company's event and then you want to have a emcee then it it's it's different lah but tak tak macam buang duit ah


yes, yup we we make our own lah cheaper, a lot cheaper, but if you want to make your own you have to do it early lah cause it's it's not fast job mah


yes you have to it yup correct, you have to do it like within next few months, yes people do one year in advance


no joke, like not not exaggerated at all people the most okay the way to look at it is right, how do you remember your wedding, photos right photos or videos, you do not want it to be a


half, half, effort you know what I mean ya, like you want it to be like !wow! , you you should look in look up for it a like as soon as possible people book it one one year in advance


err my friend got her, not only malay chinese my friend chinese she got her photographer one and a half year in advance


yup some people book the photographer before they book they got their wedding day confirmed, because some some locations like I think we got our photographer before our we got our location confirmed, but we book them eight months before


we can only book our location six months before, ya but the thing is like you roughly know one when's your date but some locations can only book six month out six months out, ya so so a lot people actually book their photographers and their mak andam and all this kind of thing wedding decor way before they even get their location


ya you have to do it yes, it's a very Kiasu game, there's a lot of bridezilla out there, like it's a wedding is a very, female


demanding event I would say like the the brides will the brides will be like like Alina throughout her entire decor, ya she she drew and coloured her entire decor how she wanted it to be what then she give it to the decor person the person you can do this person yes ah and okay we take you


but it to me it like it's a day that that they that that girls want want it more than guys I mean like in terms of the looks lah the the the, the physical looks of how it how it looks and everything ya so


but ya photography is important lor, photography is very important,


I would say you I would say okay it comes to wedding photography right , you wouldn't want someone who can take a picture, you want someone who has done wedding photography


yes cause is their job is not you want someone who like does this on the side oh macam okay okay okay ambil gambar okay okay kiri kiri sikit okay okay then all the pictures will be like like you know


ya that guy but the the younger guy was good ya yes he's very good, the elder one the one the one I got the senior one was a bit too trying too hard to be professional I would say


ya he know he he knows his angles and stuff lah I would say but I like him because err he listens to what I say, ya cause okay like after the nikah I told Alina I don't want to take pictures first lepas habis nikah mak bapa dulu so parents come up here we salam then we get take pictures with anybody but then your aunties came up first


so your aunties err came up first and then err they they came up first then they straight away wanted to take pictures of Alina and then after that our photographer macam ya is ya we I understand all this ah they they get super excited ambil gambar dulu cepat before anybody because I heard whatever cause I was standing there


cause I for me is like at the same I want the sequence of the pictures to be macam okay after the ceremony you're gonna take pictures for me err salam parents you know that kind of thing ya then after that then we take picture ya that that's the the steps lah, ah then after that then he he so he your when your aunties were up there the husband to take out handphone and take picture cause you know photographer just stand there so that that's the good thing about him being professional lah he listens to me lah ya


yup ya so I just walk around ah I told him to follow me ya no lah I told him to I say I'll I'll just go round to my my side so I went to my side to sit on my place then I asked Lina to go inside then she like, I don't know wedding then she okay no need ah ya


okay right, so probably err I will start lah, so my question is regarding the wedding preparation


okay so from my understanding right apa tu , the kadi is you book the kadi from the website right okay so and then you don't actually contact them apa tu


directly ah


okay, okay


it's okay tak payah banyak-banyak then ya, (hmm)


oh okay jadi kalau kadi tu macam stay further but you select that kadi because you prefer also okay lah oh


okay


okay I see


okay okay, okay


oh I see that means kalau if six of june I still have to wait until sixth of june available then I go in and register


oh, oh I I I I takut what or not I takut go in ah then I click click click click right then suddenly right it submitted then my date right not available then if I need to amend [kan] then is charges takde eh


okay, there there there is any amendment err there's there's charges ah ya


oh haven't, ya


oh okay okay, oh I see so kirakan before the date available


you go in you select the kadi so err I mean you play with the form tapi you don't submit, oh


oh I I was thinking of doing that tapi macam takut Tersubmit then you amend changes, later have to pay the difference ah the the charges ah and then ya so but I was also curious ah I want to see the form right and what is this question required because because my date is a double date so will be very err sought much sought sought after lah so don't want to make the mistake ah then that time you book masa tu nya err it's a sunday


err how fast ah did did did sold out as in do you like wait the the night when the the date became available or you just wait the next day you submit


oh, okay, ah


okay, okay cause I also have to settle quite a number of things ah cause for Dewi side [kan]


oh oh


err kalau buat dekat err location lain [kan] dia nya kadi cannot be yang full time staff, so full time staff sana ada about tiga orang so out of the ten


I only can pick seven then from that seven I think got two or two not fluent in english ah so my err number of kadi shrink shrink then entah abeh sekarang nowadays I cannot see the kadi reviews on the web eh dulu got or not I saw a lot of the video being recorded previously


but the the videos are removed ya so I like, so I also don't know but I know #salim jasman# I saw the video lah so I thought, he's okay he's fast I prefer pasal dia nya dia nya style is like


ah itu lah ada satu err kadi tu dia quite quite, very eloquent ah tapi bila I tengok dia nya video [kan]


ah they they drag on, ah


ya ya , ya ya correct


, ya pasal sekarang I know yang satu kadi ni yang I identified this #salim jasman# I saw


err, I think he is not very particular as long as he can hear the person say and he just proceed


oh okay, okay, yup


ya, busy ah, okay


okay , okay okay


oh okay okay


oh the okay (uh huh)


ya ya ya it sounds it sounds baku ya, ya lah ya lah tapi berbual macam berbual bahasa melayu pun kelakar juga ya, (hmm) okay I see then ya


oh tapi by then you don't know who that colleague is lah


, ya


okay okay jadi kirakan my plan sekarang is to go to the website fill up all the details then tapi bila dia punya date available submit straight


okay, okay, okay


oh tapi dia to submit is there's a submit button right as long you don't submit it won't go through [kan] okay, okay


okay same ya, okay same here okay jadi kalau time slot dia is err macam mana tu satu kadi can have more than one time slot ah


I mean based on your experience, oh


oh then ten to twelve will be very err quite hot ah, ya usually that time is the hottest ah, ya


oh oh okay, convenient lah


okay okay so I now I have a plan already so I can start to fill up the form


oh, okay okay


okay


okay, oh okay I didn't know that, okay yang dia interview tu is


the wakil from your your wali ah, oh then for my side, !wah! then from my side the father ah you can ask the mother, oh muslim meh


I think so , oh ya ya ya okay okay can ah I think I bring the parents ah okay oh okay okay that is the first step ah


okay , okay so so sebelum interview dengan kadi is you jumpa the head of the ROM first


oh and tu masa during that time will be the time dia minta to any prep marriage prep course or he ask you to go ah oh that's after oh


okay okay, okay


oh okay


okay berapa eh, okay


okay oh dia masa tahun bila baru dia cakap tak compulsory eh


!huh! ye ke oh okay, all the time I heard is compulsory , until recently


ya, , okay


oh okay okay okay, I also want to reduce also, ah ya lah


okay I see, oh okay okay okay


oh yang jaga makeup okay


nowadays got pak andam , pasal nak ikat dia punya bunga eh


ya


so no no point right, okay okay


okay, ya, okay


ya okay


sama lah


bread and butter right, okay


okay


okay, okay


okay okay, okay


okay, !huh!


okay, okay, okay okay


okay lah angry lah , okay


okay oh okay okay


for bride lah ya you dah plan [pe], ya okay, okay


oh tu tak boleh jadi


!huh! oh


some some some mak andam because they because they want to do their part which is so they the the main thing is they make messed up the planning lah okay


okay, okay dia panic lah okay


jadi kirakan kalau macam if we do nikah and wedding different place that's where the problem comes


ya okay, yes yes and traffic jam you don't know whether


okay , oh kirakan bukan pasal delay pasal they earn more lah no lah we we already paid them for that whole day so inclusive


but usually they won't try to delay unless really special occasion ah ya


okay, tapi Prata okay


a bit greasy ah, oh most of your friend also do at fort canning ah


okay, I see, okay jadi mak andam is not requirement unless you have err several outfit change


oh okay okay jadi sama lah I think for my side I think I don't want to have mak andam I want to have like the makeup artiste is okay and also to see whether I have err ya


but but she have no experience


true also, okay


okay


ya lah ya lah ya lah cause you want what you want lah okay


okay, I I even thought of what you know because dekat err katong sana [kan] there are many err salon ya then we thought err go there early ya


but that will be strange , , ya cause very close eh because yang grand mercure ada banyak salon ya how good ah that's why I have to go there okay


peranakan day ah so I think ya I have to go there early, ya dia pun I email juga


, okay so that part, ya I have to ask Dewi to do research lah then from there, most likely we also will do the same thing lah kita tak akan ambil mak andam jadi ah the day macam one off saja lah


oh okay mak andam is for rental cause they got special rate


ya lah and another thing I was thinking whether should do photography after the wedding or that day, then the makeup will have to tip top after the wedding mah


oh okay so we do the nikah and the photography after that


okay I was thinking the peranakan house the terrace house over there and then east coast


, okay another thing I thought of so is inside the wedding the the hotel itself but must inform them right, cause err lynn told me don't know must sign agreement I don't know if you remember okay


okay now I cannot decide where to take photo because I haven't gone to the venue


okay, ya


ya dia nya swimming pool I ever went it looks nice lah so I think I need to ask the person on that day, whether to see okay


we can go up and see ah ,


really ah you mean you all what wedding day, you want to book the hotel oh we thought of booking hotel for you all so


!huh! is, okay, lucky you tell me eh cause we really thought of booking for you all also then dinner we can go eat ya okay


okay ya okay ya let us know lah because we thought of err booking lah ya, okay


okay then ya so, three three err I think for for your case [kan] tiga jam macam okay ah very manageable, ya it's is very fast I like that


I I know one problem that you all face is the, the because of the shortage of space right the clearance of the the food I I saw is a problem aku outside mah but I can see people no space sit ya


!huh! oh they stay back oh


yes yes I saw I saw it's quite , oh okay


oh okay, for for my case okay lah terus settle


but it's during the err the you you guys got the how is it how I can't remember the walk in ah how you guys did the walk, is straight away just sit on the okay, then after that all the way there and then


oh then after that then eat lunch then go back and sit again ah, cause for for err the place I have right there's a stage jadi kalau kirakan okay I was think I can rent for three hours three hours so I thought the nikah start at eleven thirty


then everything finished at twelve thirty, eh wait ah, I remember is a eleven to three ah ya, okay, ah I think it's four hours total ya ya


okay ya there will be there will be delay yes definitely


, err, the itinerary so example eleven thirty my nikah so


that is the main main core concept , oh I cannot say like I have to have at least sixty percent I must know what's happening


okay


ya lah siapa nak ikut to the letter [kan] yes


she don't care, yes


okay cause I thought the nikah and the tea ceremony will be done the first thing in the morning


ah that's the thing I need to go down and see the venue how it looks like whether ya, they will delay


that's also the time kalau nak tukar baju pun boleh tukar lah


then one thirty, lunch time, so one thirty to about err one thirty two thirty three thirty ya about one thirty to three thirty ah then whole lunch ah then in between before the one thirty starts right err we have the walk in lah then from the walking then that means about one forty five blah blah blah some some


some plans lah some activity lah so for about ya, okay tapi kalau COVID dia ada different kind of rules ah only the twenty percent will be selected you can mingle


err out of that twenty they have to be in their table oh but mungkin maybe masa tu policy belum start ah tapi I went to the Grand Mercure right and err, Katong and they mentioned the same thing twenty


close family can mingle, ah


okay, hopefully lah okay


okay I see but only worry like err yang table yang tak mingle boring ah duduk tengok each other makan cannot mix with the you know


so I thought of what you know get some emcee or what ah ya


okay, kalau ah


simple simple (hmm) okay kalau ah, really ah actually I don't want to but because I don't want to make it boring for them and I want to have like unified err unified


okay , okay


(hmm) okay okay oh I itu yang category macam err emcee ah yang macam too much lah that's why


ya I want the like err formal one simple one, true also


I see, that is one thing then ya baju you all buy the fabric then make at the #joo chiat# right


okay, some more is if my date considered is during the syawal tau so have to do it early okay okay lagi apa lagi eh


photographer photographer really must be advance ah


okay, half dead , okay


I'm worried now I haven't booked mine


serious ah photographer so, what


but you all know because very popular lah, oh okay


!wah! I have to do that now ah ASAP ah


, ya nasib baik Dewi is not so


okay


I see okay


, for photography I tak tahu [seh] really I


oh ya pandai apa apa pose yes yes


ah ya lah ya lah


younger guy was good he was very err dia punya PR social skills good ah


, ya tapi at least dia tahu I mean ya, ah okay okay


okay ah terperanjat Gue [sial] lah, I think is the emotion ah


ya the usual lah, good job


err lepas the normal ambil gambar on the dais lepa stu after lunch or, cause I remember you ada macam speech eh tak ada eh so everything


you want the photographer will lead you ah


what is the importance of a (err) groomsman is it very important


Dyvia what did you do this morning, okay I forgot eh so what time you woke up ah


oh ya you know why because I received a message from you very early in the morning, so I was like wondering is this girl sleeping or is this girl studying, or is she awake to do what I asked her to do for me so I was a bit worried


oh I see okay, ya I've already I've actually added and I emailed the person, and then he said, err he said there was a change, you you know like <tamil>நா நா நேரோ எடுத்து செஞ்சதுக்கு வந்து நா பாராட்டுர அப்டின்னு:na na nero eduthu senjathuku vanthu na paratura apdinu</tamil> he said


okay I think the the


thanks thanks Dyvia I'm really I'm really so grateful that you actually help me thank you, oh , the canteen is actually almost closing there's nothing much


and I just wanted to eat some thai curry so I went all the way to the building next to mine, ya


Basu said, he wants to he always has err indian meals


he is <tamil>ஆமா:aama</tamil> to him is like in a a meal must have rice of course with all the other vegetables so to him <tamil>சாப்பாடு:saapadu</tamil> is actually indian food, he doesn't take anything else but I think his family does err so he said he he consider himself weird as I <tamil>நா மட்டுதா ஒரு தனி:na mattutha oru thani</tamil> Rako <tamil>ன்னு சொன்னாரு அதனால:nu sonnaru athanala</tamil> err you know though he said we are going for lunch together we didn't have lunch together he went somewhere else and I settled for


a chicken lasagne and I was eating all alone, there's this italian restaurant at north spine, and of course like any other restaurants they don't allow food from outside so I just sat there thinking that he will bring his food you know Dabao and come back but ya in the end he said err <tamil>இல்ல:illa</tamil> teacher <tamil>நீங்க சாப்டுங்க நா வந்து மேல சாப்புடுர ஏனா அவ தட்டுல குடுத்துட்டா அபுடின்னு சொன்னாரு அவரு:neenga saapdunga na vanthu mela saapudura yena ava thattula kuduthuta apdinu sonnaru avaru</tamil> I said okay okay so I <tamil>நா தனியா உக்காந்து:na thaniya ukkanthu</tamil> having enjoying the chicken lasagne with a cup of cappuccino and err ya that was like really really filling I think the lasagne sheets that they put in ah


err I think for me I think it's big, maybe if they had reduced err a quarter of the portion, ah <tamil>கொஞ்சோ சந்தோஷ பட்டிருப்ப:konjo santhosa pattirupa</tamil> but okay lah I had to finish because I paid for the food


I think the lasagna alone was err seven plus and the cappuccino was about, three plus I think so all in all I paid eleven eighty


then she said err the only thing we have is what I ordered, and other than that do you know like we have #nasi padang# right that italian restaurant has a similar concept, with a variety of food like they will probably have about eight to ten dishes err like #nasi padang# but it's all italian


I'm like !wow! so you can take whatever I think they have limits as to how many dishes you can take or how many times you can take, ya it's all ya it is an italian restaurant where they I think serve pizza and


basically everything italian is there err but I think now because it's err towards holidays their they don't have much, so the lady was saying oh maybe you should come from january onwards and then there will more, so I said okay but I thought during the holidays I would probably we all can go for lunch there because it's not crowded and at least as there's something to eat and decent food and it taste nice ya


ah, !aiyo! okay USS ah


err <tamil>நா வந்து:na vanthu</tamil> sentosa lah <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> luge ride is really good, , the last time Appa and I went I think we we enjoyed ourselves and I think we went err


twice, or thrice I can't remember but I really enjoyed it because the first time I went for the luge ride was in new zealand I had err not difficulty but I was a bit it was a bit fearful, but this time it wasn't too bad I was like !wow! I'm older but I'm I'm I'm more yes ya no the first time I went was in new zealand and the second time was in sentosa


and err ya the I I enjoy the ride, then okay lah then I say !wah! not bad ah I can actually do this, ya so


okay <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> online lah <tamil>வாங்குரதுனால:vangurathunala</tamil> err <tamil>அந்த தரோ நல்லா இருக்குனு நெனைக்கிர ஆனா வெல கொரைவா இருந்துச்சு உண்மைலயே எனக்கு ஆச்சரியமா இருந்துச்சு நேரடியா போய் வாங்குனா நம்ம கூட ரெண்டு மடங்கோ அல்லது மூனு மடங்கோ காசு குடுத்திருகனு ஆனா வந்து இதுவா:antha tharo nalla irukunu nenaikura aana vela koraiva irunthuchu unmailaye enaku aachariyama irunthuchu neradiya poy vaanguna namma kooda rendu madango allathu moonu madango kaasu kuduthirukanu aana vanthu ithuva</tamil> this this is actually really err


I don't know whether to say cheap but it was the price very err ya value for money ya it is actually value for money so I'm actually very happy that we managed to buy a lot but within that amount, I think if I had gone to mustafa I would probably will only be able to buy half of what we bought


the lazada sale oh ya <tamil>ஆமா:aama</tamil> sunday right okay <tamil>அப என்ன வாங்கலானு யோசிப்போ எதாவது தேவயா இருந்தா:apa enna vaangalanu yosipo ethavathu thevaya iruntha</tamil> I think <tamil>அந்த நேரோ வந்து:antha nero vanthu</tamil> is good to buy okay


okay Divya <tamil>உண்மய சொல்லனுனா:unmaya sollanuna</tamil> I I love, of course not that I I I hate meat but <tamil>எனக்கு வந்து ஒரு:enaku vanthu oru</tamil> vegetarian meals <tamil>சாப்ட பிரகு:saapta piraku</tamil> I would be so satisfied


and I still feel good, err as opposed to having a a meal with meat as a main course err, ya but then you know as a family when we go out, it's very difficult like I think I will look like a one fussy Pok if like when we go together like why is someone not taking this why is someone not taking that right ya


so to me if you if you serve a banana leaf with a good variety of different types of vegetables, I'll be so happy for that because I feel so satisfied after that


(uh huh), okay I think ah


okay this is just before the turn in from, the chander road is it, okay then <tamil>அப்பா:appa</tamil> lees


ah okay okay okay okay I okay you know arasu restaurant okay okay ah I think is that, ah <tamil>அதுக்கு பக்கத்துல இன்னொரு கட இருக்கு என்னமோ ஆப கடனு போட்ருக்கு:athuku pakkathula innoru kada iruku ennamo aapa kadanu potrukku</tamil> I also want to try the appam, I can't remember what appam but appam ya because I think that shop


err advertises the whole big main board has got appam and it looks nice so I don't know whether that's their signature dish ya but <tamil>ஊர்ல வந்து அத ஆபோன்னு சொல்லுவாங்க:oorla vanthu atha aaponu solluvanga</tamil> so <tamil>அந்த ஆபத்த போய்:antha aapatha poy</tamil> try <tamil>பன்னணு நல்லா இருக்குனு நெனைகுர:pannanu nalla irukunu nenaikura</tamil> ya <tamil>நீ சொன்ன அந்த:nee sonna antha</tamil> sixes <tamil>கடயு:kadayu</tamil> will be nice to go


err we should go lah we should go, oh okay so


ah okay so <tamil>அது வந்து அந்த:athu vanthu antha</tamil> banana leaf <tamil>மாரி இருக்கு:mari iruku</tamil> both Saivo and Asaivo, a fish


okay Appa, okay Dyvia fish talking about fish I think <tamil>அப்பா:appa</tamil> like fish Briyani among all the Briyani so one time, I know probably because is


okay but <tamil>அப்பா:appa</tamil> doesn't take mutton so he's left with chicken and fish chicken is very common and compare chicken and fish I think fish <tamil>வந்து கொஞ்சோ:vanthu konjo</tamil> healthy <tamil>னு நெனைகுர:nu nenaikura</tamil> I don't know if it's healthy but I think ya we all have our preferences right


okay so <tamil>அப்பா வந்து:appa vanthu</tamil> ya okay


oh <tamil>இல்ல இல்ல இப்ப நீ:illa illa ippa nee</tamil> sixers <tamil>கடைக்கு போலான்னு சொன்னல:kadaiku polanu sonnala</tamil> so if we go there what do you think, err they will have <tamil>கொடலு:kodalu</tamil> they will have mutton chicken liver


okay chicken one okay, err okay so that's Appa favourite lah, the intestine


I think he will Whack everything that's there except maybe fish, you know if it's just err


err because it's someone has already, err, deboned all the fish so it's so comfortable and other than that there's lots of spice


that would be a nice complete meal so, probably the next we should do is to go there for the meal, ya ya, okay


okay


okay but I'm sure you know that anchovies are rich in calcium right oh okay is your choice lah okay so that is for the non veg


when we went there I think the hotel was something very different unlike err I called metropolitan we was okay okay this one is this hotel was err GRT and they had the normal spread of indian food lah <tamil>நல்லா:nalla</tamil> !wow! you know


there's something, sausage <tamil>இருந்துச்சு:irunthuchu</tamil> err what else did they have scrambled egg omelette and they also have the chinese err porridge and all that stuff so it was like an err


international, oh no is it the word okay I forgot the word okay okay the something so they had all that, and err ya of course the indian food <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> is something that because we don't cook all the dishes at one go in our house like so probably if we have Thosai one day in a few weeks time then we probably have <tamil>இட்லி:itli</tamil> and things like that but over there you can actually get


everyday you can see a variety so you can actually choose if I eat Thosai today I can have the err onion Thosai and then I can have with it then the next day I can have rawa Thosai and I can have appam, !wow! and then ah talking about appam


the lady who was serving us I think she got very used to us because we were there for some time, the hotel ya the hotel the restaurant itself so she came and ask err you know every morning when we sit and eat she will ask us how ma'am good morning ma'am how is the food ma'am do you like you know all that


and then I'm saying how come you have everything but you don't have appam, and guess what, no no she didn't make she's not a she's not a chef so she said we will request ya so I told her I say oh really then I say ya my family my my my mother and my husband we all like appam so it'd be nice if you can serve appam


so the next day when we went we sat in one corner, err of course waiting to be served but I forgot all about the appam because there's like twenty four hours ago, we sat in one corner and then pleasantly surprising we had this group of singaporeans who came like who travel and they came to chennai on that very day I think the night before and they were also there for breakfast together with us


so that was a time where this this girl who was serving us food brought appam to our plates, and you know the other group of singaporeans they were so fascinated they saw appam on our plate and they also wanted it, err and then I thought that girl will actually serve them as well


but she said no err they specially requested so the chef made, and I was like !wow! I felt so honoured, but at the same time I felt so guilty lah because somebody else wanted it and then you know so, after having the first piece I thought okay this is enough for me and then I told the girl to actually serve the other the second appam to the to the gentleman who was sitting near me I I think he was quite happy lah he was thankful the way he was saying ya


but I think to me appam must be crispy in the sides, but somehow it's not no err that appam was err, I don't know it's like very soft I think the texture and the way err appam is done by different people is actually very different


oh because one of them happens to be a travel agent who brought Aatta to india, you know Aatta went to north india to like almost like a pilgrimage he went to


so <tamil>அப்ப வந்து அந்த:apa vanthu antha</tamil> travel agent <tamil>போன வந்து வச்சு:pona vanthu vachu</tamil> very nice man and err he was a travel agent for this group who who went to india and came back so <tamil>அவரு:avaru</tamil> correct ah <tamil>வந்து பக்கத்துல உக்காந்தாரு:vanthu pakathula ukkantharu</tamil> so <tamil>நா பாதொனே:na pathone</tamil> eh <tamil>இந்த ஆள எங்கயோ பாத்த மாரி இருக்குனு:intha aala engayo patha mari irukunu</tamil> so I acknowledge I smiled at him he also smile and I said then I was I was trying to err tell Aatta so and so is here and she was also so excited so the guy was very


he , I think he was like very family because he gave Atha a hug and I think he really took good care of the hotel the hotel the breakfast area I think when Atha went with him I think he really took good care of her as in you know holding her hands bringing her up bringing her down


so it was very nice actually the fact that he was there we also asked him err, for favours because the tailor whom we got something to stitch ah that man err I think he told us it will be ready be ready but eventually he dragged


and err we were going to fly the next morning and we still didn't get our clothes, so I I the only thing I could think of was ask this tour agent to help us collect if possible you know the tailor didn't come by that night, but he was so sweet he said just tell me err just tell the guy my room number and then I will bring it for you


of course in return I had to bring carry some things for him from chennai so as much as I was happy that he was helpful, I was also a bit uncomfortable because I had to carry something of his, and <tamil>அத தூக்கு போது:atha thooku pothu</tamil> I I know <tamil>எதோ ஒன்னு குடுப்பாரு:etho onnu kuduparu</tamil> if you see and he gives me I just have to carry but I wouldn't know what's in the box


but anyway <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> tailor <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> err ah #sarala sechi# <tamil>ஊட்ட நல்லா தச்சு குடுத்துட்டாரு அழகா:uta nalla thachu kuduthutaru alaka</tamil> because <tamil>அவங்க வந்து அளவு சட்ட குடுத்தாங்க:avanga vanthu alavu satta kuduthanga</tamil> so he he managed to do it well


I said never mind you know sometimes we need to make sacrifices I said it's okay


then I brought back to our tailor aunty here and she did the ageing for me, so I think when I go shopping ah I must go myself if I bring somebody else I end up giving priority to them, and then mine is like, mine is jeopardised

okay


it was something different that's nice, I never noticed, ya you should have bought one for me as well, it's not about liking marvel I like the, the fridge magnet the design is nice


something different, and it's like dual purpose you see is not just a design you can also hang, yup


no Bakit doesn't own a chicken rice shop don't have, I think the nice one is at Petir is it, near the


what's the name of the school, Fajar secondary ah


coffee shop ah I think, oh the one that they sell at, oh the one in #ghim moh# as well


is it the same shop, no lah, #ghim moh# is also I think #boon tat# you know they always like like err dish deep I don't know what they call that the flesh lah <tamil>எடுத்துட்டு:eduthutu</tamil> the oh only the chicken will be hanging there with the bones ya boon boon something ya


but then they they have it hanging like that what, okay so chicken rice what else are we having for dinner, oh my god what a combi chicken rice with chendol


I think it's not feeling guilty it's because Briyani gives makes you this gives you this very full feeling you know, I'm like !aiyo! why did I eat you know, because it is very good


!wah! biryani very nice, so when you order biryani you shouldn't you cannot be eating the whole portion yourself so if you want to have like !wah! I'm going to eat biryani but I also at the same time want to have the satisfaction of having Briyani ah you should only take half the portion then you like eh okay lah I had Briyani if not is like oh ya I ate Briyani


no but I think because if you take okay let's say if you take Briyani from do you feel like that when you take Briyani from the phoenix err phoenix restaurant


ah so when you take Briyani from like phoenix mall Anjappar I mean the Briyani you know is very nice it's nice because also the ya is only the one that you buy the alladdin all this kind of shop or even I think Sakunthala'S one I don't know it's err probably the ghee or something that they add makes you this ya


Dyvia you I think the main main one of the most important ingredient in Briyani is ghee whichever brand ya so that's that's what gives it the taste, otherwise you go so depending ah sometimes certain brands of ghee will give you this err


very uncomfortable err, err feeling after you finish your Briyani then you are like wondering !aiyo! why did I eat so much you know and all that stuff ya because I don't get that feeling at all when I take Briyani because I don't Wallop one portion myself number one number two no no no number two I actually don't like to eat


see the alladdin Briyani is nice but still you still cannot so you know, ya but still you cannot be taking the whole thing yourself, ya that's like a overkill is like you know biryani ah the other rices like other rice other types of rice or we just take the rice you will feel okay if one plate is one plate of rice seems okay you will feel like one plate of rice but if you Briyani if you take one plate of rice it gives you like two plates of rice full


that means you must be eating, half plate so that you get the feeling that you ate one plate, have I made it very simple, so that's what I do because I don't feel comfortable when I eat Briyani I mean of course when I'm


can eat and I'm happy after that I'll be like err !aiyo! why ah why Briyani you know,


oh ya, oh I think he bought white because he said that guy didn't have black anymore something like that, funny right why the black just the sauce ya just like remember I told you we went to the shop we asked for err plain Prata but then the guy said he only have egg Prata I would be like hello you have to add egg in that you don't add the egg again I plain Prata


why do you think they did that Dyvia, and I think they also had outdated eggs or going to rot eggs so they will say now take the, okay but you know sometimes you just want to have one egg and one plain


let's go to the korean war d'amato the gosong alanna of dinner land gordon the language, ya <tamil>அப்டிந்தா நல்லா இருக்கு ரெண்டு முட்ட வந்து:apdintha nalla iruku rendu mutta vanthu</tamil> like !wah! so fillng, right

ya correct okay err I think along where gandhi is, where last time you know arasu restaurant err I think is that ya


appam right I see, is like the same err as all the other shops they will give you the rice or the leaf


think usually the the Kada <tamil>முட்ட:mutta</tamil> usually people what they buy is they will serve it in like the small <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> styrofoam <tamil>தட்டு:thattu</tamil> then they will put Kada <tamil>முட்ட:mutta</tamil> then they have <tamil>கோழி:koli</tamil> err mutton and whatever else that you want I think <tamil>மீனு:meenu</tamil> also have


ya, err ya ya ya correct, err fish I feel like he will take fish cutlet I think so ya


I I really don't know why anybody will like fish, biryani no I think for Briyani the main it's either mutton or chicken is the is like a highlight you know I know that's why


I err I think prawn Briyani is also nice


you can talk about food


yes, Udane, prawn lah ya


Briyani you mean really ah I thought you say generally what he eat oh I think only fish and chicken lah what other meat do you from usually indian shops they will give


err maybe <tamil>அப்பா:appa</tamil> will take <tamil>ஈரல்:eeral</tamil> maybe the the, gizzards, is that what is called ya, that's all lah ya then Amma will take


yes intestine, err, probably this two


no no if there's a <tamil>மீனுல முள்ளு இருந்துசுனா:meenula mullu irunthuchuna</tamil> he won't eat ya


you mean the <tamil>சுறா மீனு புட்டு:sura meenu puttu</tamil> okay


okay


maybe some Udane at this side


no no as in not #nasi lemak# <tamil>ஆமா ஆமா:aama aama</tamil> coconut rice, I'm not a fan of ikan bilis I mean I will eat if given but I wouldn't err choose it


you know ya, yes yes very high we can take milk for that you know, okay we still have a long way to go we can talk about breakfast


okay we'll be talking about breakfast lunch and dinner so that because one hour is a lot


india (uh huh), what what were they err what was the breakfast there


the baked beans and all that


oh no there's a word for it intercontinental cuisine ah I think so something lah okay


the hotel is it okay (uh huh)


she made appam, they got you lah they got you the appam lah


(uh huh)


was it not


anyway how did you know that the other people were singaporeans, oh


at the hotel ah where you all were


other art that is when I got to see the nadia and affordable done the builder wood running at the moody guilty at it but anyway and the dealer on their settlers you do it and I let their children that are hard because I went there alone at a gluten that so he's he managed to do it well, ah


then yours was what what happened to yours,


so where are we going for holiday next, I mean when you know the situation is better


oh I've heard that over the years, ya


okay,


okay


ah, then, so after that, I thought usually people go there for some romantic vacation or something


but it's surrounded by water the island indian ocean ah


he can see ah, I think maldives is nice because


oh you know the resorts and it's and all of that but is okay err me you were asking where I wanted to go is it I want to go a lot of places but maybe for starters I want to go to london since it's just near where I'm going to be


so I'll start off at there just be a typical tourist and take the you know the typical tourist shots and explore and then err I actually really wanted to go to france last year, but


err you know due to the pandemic and everything I couldn't go, so I if I can go back oh I mean when everything is better I'm hoping we can all go to, france and see the eiffel tower and then you know spend spend one whole day just maybe err sitting down at a cafe and looking at the tower being jobless like yes


you want to do that of course being just relaxing and just slacking around is always, we can we can go there and say we are Lepaking in one corner


in france, Lepaking, , is err that one is a new level of Lepaking ya


and then you know they also have this err (ppc) there's this place in greece, you know santorini, you know the one where they have all the stairs and then just from like outside you see the view is so nice


and then etr athens, that also, err <tamil>நடக்கணு:nadakanu</tamil> but I mean I think it's worth the, view lah ya


I carry you lah good


not a lot lah I mean other than, based on my experience ah other than the food and the architecture I haven't really found any thing


more fun to do we got I enjoy I enjoy taking photos and everything, so maybe that part will be fun for me you know capturing like the good moments and all but


err july


you know


was the first person to get the to get vaccinated against err COVID is the ninety year old lady ya


so we have to see how that goes lah,


ya, actually I think madame madame toussaud's that one would be fine I have to go and okay I mean it's just you know go and see fake people in the place but whatever


thirty dollars right, I think have to go to the website and see <tamil>அந்த அந்த நூறு வெள்ளிய வச்சிக்கிட்டு என்னலா பன்னலானு பாக்கனு:antha antha nooru velliya vachikittu ennala pannalanu paakanu</tamil>


ah, oh it's expiring ah


okay so that's not a lot of time left, ya


I think for okay if you count december thirty first ah new year eve is on a thursday so there's thursday friday then saturday sunday so january that's four already ya and then err february also there's four because eleven


then february I think twelve and thirteen is chinese new year, I think ya ya friday saturday, so so they so they advise you to, take off on


ya so err basically they're saying you just need to take ten days leave for thirty days thirty eight days off work, ya okay so january you take sorry december thirty first you take, then


like first first is new year then second and third is saturday sunday ya, and then february eleven you take off twelve thirteen the rest of the weekend also there's a lot of long weekends so after february there is one in may err sorry april march there's no holidays


then, april again is the good fridays the good friday one so long weekend there again and then in may you all have labour day and then hari raya puasa, and then vesak day


why, why, but is okay, then


anyway so actually in may there's a lot sadly I won't be here to enjoy but may I think first of ya first of may labour day right but that's a saturday


then sunday is ya then after that, thursday which is thirteen is Puasa, so if you take leave on fourteen, then fifteen and sixteen is off so thirteen to sixteen you are on break


and then shortly after two weeks later on the last week of may, twenty six I think twenty six is vesak day, yes, so twenty six that's a wednesday so if you take leave on thursday friday


saturday sunday is off, but whether people will give you leave is another thing lah then july, july it's what #hari raya haji# is in july that's on a tuesday so they will ask you to take leave on no monday like that then we don't need to go work already


, then august, this is actually open for public so anyone can see, but ya if everyone takes leave then who's going to work right, and then hopefully august by the time if I'm back


err august, ninth is a public holiday which is national day, and then you can take leave on friday so there will be one more long weekend and then another long weekend is deepavali cause deepavali is on fourth november this year sorry next year fourth thursday


so if you take leave on fifth, we have thursday friday saturday sunday, , err christmas christmas falls on saturday next year so if you take friday off then friday saturday sunday lah


and that's twenty twenty ya that's twenty twenty one, anyway I was I saw this meme on instagram just now err, there's this you know this movie you know this move err Uthamaputhiran there's this there's I'll show you the meme later but


there's this the caption is err when do you think when someone tells you twenty twenty one is going to be a good year, and then someone laughs just laughs out to I think Vivek so the Laha is saying <tamil>போடா:podaa</tamil> [dey]


I will show you the video later ya, then, ya


okay we still have another, twenty five minutes to talk


, no you know the one where we usually put all the the pot the first drawer, is the you know the one that looks like this


the the small one they use the pot ya !aiyo! I already boiled one egg just now already, with another <tamil>பான:paana</tamil> lah


so are you going to throw everything salvation ah you want you can get those set, like you need plates also right


you know there's this with the one that when when I went to collect the thing at causeway, err what's that name Ayuga, so they, ya you can use that later as you know I mean whenever you want or you can use it as a cheese cutter


if you experiment with it lah I mean they never say cannot as long as the no like as long as the cheese can go fit inside I think should be fine, then err


where we were talk ah Ayuga so they sell a lot like, plate kitchenware, and stuff so I think and their all the things are also very like minimalist, aesthetic design, so if you want you can check that out


what, ya you go and you go and see the website, I don't know we have to check


in the E commerce thing people like, , stores companies err join with lazada so people since like if you don't you don't have to go down to the physical store so they shop


through lazada is like lazada is like the middleman ya so essentially you are buying from that shop but just through lazada, but I think it's a good time now with all the year end sales and everything


actually the metro sale started today you know, at ten AM, ya later you can go and check it out lah, sure sure, in the park awang lana elderly when you're


you see they have this kind of things but I think it just it depends on what you want also, you see, so what what are you looking for you see can you see over here


oh sorry sorry six pieces for


but I think this is this is a set of six but you look at the design


how, one


is a square you know you were saying you want circle right, err ya no not all lah but ya this one is a


they do sell individual one oh there four lah, one is about twenty five, I think it's nice, ya, but do you like it


the discount is nine dollars lah very kind of them, I'm fine with all the plates but okay


apparently is stated as a corelle clearance stock dinner plate


there quantity one what, cannot be right, but this one look a bit small right don't you think


light you want lightweight is it


okay lah I'll see what we can find lah okay


, did you see this


mah Mangu mah, see dishwasher microwave oven safe


ya set of six, no, the one that the mini look like the miniso like that one eh this one is nice


!aiyo! difficult lah, yes but the design is very nice it looks like a optical illusion


what else you know fifteen minutes left


okay what else are we looking for, you want you want a tablecloth


no as in stick it to the bottom of something lah like paper, like a fitted sheet, eh you understand what where I'm what I'm trying to say, thank you thank you yes thank you very much


what did I say, I don't think there's such a thing as fitted tablecloth that was just my own genius idea


this table runner is nice ah,


no, but if there's other options also but I think for our table this one will go well


but I don't know lah that's just my opinion, , ya


err


I think they have different, thirty I think thirty is the width, so the length hundred and forty one eighty, so which one is our current length


thirty by two twenty, okay err this one I add to bag first okay


Ma tell me tell me about your goals in life lah Amma, we have another ten minutes to go let's talk about our goals in life


seems so far away right I think seven years time I will I will probably, sure if I'm not a failure by then ya yes you know


!aiyo! what a what a hope you have lah Amma you never know ah anything is possible well okay okay okay I I have to tell you that my math wasn't very good anyway what do you think about this


but you don't want right, it is oh it's ceramic you don't want lah okay never mind


I don't know I just thought it was nice, I'm just thinking what else, what do you think about this


this one have two hundred or two twenty, add to cart now alright


eh <tamil>இது ரொம்ப இது இதன் நாம:ithu romba ithu ithan naama</tamil> we got use before right is it is it


we have used this before right did we buy it like recently right, very nice smell lah I have to say, is it the same price ah


I'm not sure when it, what we bought the last time but I can, now is


what are you talking about, ya lah, forty forty something, actually I found a radio, that was there for fifteen dollars


she <tamil>அண்ணா:anna</tamil> transfer to me, because I was lacking some funds at that point


no lah she said it's too old, no no the one we live in she listens a lot, whenever she's cooking and all that, and then it's like so old you can see she had it since the old house what


so I say okay lah, anyway I'll probably give it to her this weekend maybe we go on sunday


Amma you got you got any book for me, can recommend me some book one book oh no I'm fine with it no no no I want english book please


err just just just for display but I have to say I've read, I have read the automatic transmitting err practical training car book

ya, like that lah, I went that time I went to I went with my friends to art science museum so they were having they were having a marvel exhibition

turns out it became a mask holder, I didn't know you like marvel, you like the what, oh


I actually doesn't even think it will, be, I mean who would have thought I will be having to hand mask or I will have to own masks you know


, then, of course of course

oh you know they have this that day we went to Zhenghua CC then you know they got <tamil>அங்க ஒரு:anga oru</tamil> chicken <tamil>அங்க ஒரு:anga oru</tamil> actually <tamil>நீங்க அங்க நம்மல எறக்கி விட்டிங்கள அங்க ஒரு:neenga anga nammala eraki vittingala anga oru</tamil> Kopitiam <tamil>இருக்கு:iruku</tamil> ah yes <tamil>இன்னொரு:innoru</tamil> Kopitiam coffee shop then in the coffee shop they have this chicken rice shop named I think #boon boon tat#


and it's the same one in adam road you know, but I've never tried the, no lah #ghim moh# is #teck ghee# ah, I don't know what


I've never seen that but that's quite that is quite disturbing to even think about lah so, well what can we do


we had had chicken rice err actually you know what will be nice now, chendol from Tekka market, or we can don't have chicken rice err just chendol


but then you know the thing about Briyani right before you eat it you like you just want to eat like you want eat so much and fill yourself with it but after you eat you feel so guilty is like shit


no but is how do you explain it's so good


err, ya ya must share must share, so sad leh


I think no matter what portion I eat ah I will still feel the, no because you know after you eat then is like it still lingers there so the only good time is when you are before you eat and while you are eating it after you eat it it's like


err no that one is nice surprising is like very light, I think is the one right


they add ghee in Briyani


oh I actually I didn't notice at all


okay you don't have to attack people like that, #zam zam briyani# is nice also, ya


yes that's true, yes you did


actually you want carrot cake, carrot cake sounds nice that day I think <tamil>நானு:naanu</tamil> Mama bought from Marsiling and he came remember, but I cannot I cannot remember whether I we asked for black or white


no lah isn't black just adding the sauce, what kind of nonsense you have to


exactly, because egg Prata more expensive lah, but you know what it's okay I'm not complaining because I like <tamil>முட்ட:mutta</tamil> Prata


actually that's my go to order you know one


<tamil>ஒரு முட்ட இல்ல நீங்க இருங்க ஒரு முட்ட அப்ரோ ஒரு ஒரு:oru mutta illa neenga irunga oru mutta apro oru oru</tamil> Posong


hi delton, a bit ah


okay okay, like


okay then


, , ya lah it's just basically I can't really seem to find a way for future so, you got any advise for me


okay


okay, okay okay


for sure ya for sure ya


okay, (mmhmm) ya


(mmhmm)


(mmhmm), understand understand I think, you know <tamil>பிரச்னை:prechana</tamil> like if let's say <tamil>நா இப்போ:naa ipo</tamil> aviation <tamil>படிக்கிறான்:padikiran</tamil> like, how certain are you that <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> the aviation industry lah


like you know <tamil>என்ன எப்போபாருன்னா:enna epopaaruna</tamil> like aviation <tamil>நா:naa</tamil> all like the pilots the engineers all, the thing is that


but it's it's tough lah <tamil>அதன்:athan</tamil> so


you know lah like <tamil>அவங்க சொன்னாங்க:avanga sonanga</tamil> aviation <tamil>யம் நல்லது:yum nalathu</tamil> you know, it's aviation is going to be a downfall you know so based on that and of course my my my my party also she also like <tamil>ரொம்ப:romba</tamil> aviation <tamil>ரொம்ப பிடிக்கும்:romba pidikum</tamil> so that's why they are tilted towards aviation side you know


did you have you experienced this before like like let's say when when when you and your parents they like y'all can't see something see eye to eye any other things, I think


uh what was I into, (mmhmm)

when uh <tamil>அப்பா:appa</tamil> always bring me to my , the airport you know since then or a a deep lah like I fell in love with aviation, and so, you move away from that I think it's uh <tamil>கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் கஷ்டம்:konjam konjam konjam kastam</tamil> because


like I'm really as one with aviation you know, so I think he made a good point <tamil>என்ன:enna</tamil> , like, other opportunities have already you know integrated with them, so, ya then thanks for the advice lah so how how how's your day so far

ya I mean


when you were with your group lah with your cousins ah they were like this my cousins my group, phuket <tamil>போனும்:ponum</tamil> okay phuket <tamil>போனும்:ponum</tamil> I think <tamil>நினைக்கிறன்:nenaikiran</tamil> I think <tamil>நாவினுக்கு இந்த இந்த கத சொல்லும்:naavenuku intha intha kadha solum</tamil> I think he told you did he told you


you know one girl suddenly pulled him it then after that this money <tamil>மோகன்:mohan</tamil> because mani <tamil>மோகன் ஒரு:mohan oru</tamil> innocent <tamil>மாதிரி ஒரு:maathiri oru</tamil> boy because you know <tamil>ஒன்னுமே பண்ணல:onumey panala</tamil> you know like <tamil>ஒருக்கு ஒருக்கு ஏதாச்சும்:oruku oruku eathaachum</tamil> serious serious <tamil>இருக்கான்:irukan</tamil> a very very serious boy a very gullible boy so <tamil>அந்த பெண்ணே பொண்ணு:antha penne ponnu</tamil> and then she said


with the girl you know with our group, then, all of us like <tamil>என்னடா மணி என்னடா பண்ற ஐயோ:ennada mani ennada panra !aiyo!</tamil> then all of us then <tamil>மணி:mani</tamil> then he was sorry lah this is my friend and you know


she wants to join us you know, and then I told mani I said you go do what you need to do and we will meet you back later, and after that that that that's the trip was quite happening you know because , a lot of things happen lah you know so okay another thing was err the same mani <tamil>மோகன்:mohan</tamil> after that thing the third night he's the he's the third night


, okay, then I looked at him he looked at everyone, everyone check hopefully the #tuk tuk# was there car knock okay


and the best part fellow just bought the wallet okay


they might


realised wallet gone you know then he , it's it was a new wallet he bought and he lost it, that was funny, then err I don't know as in you do you have any other stories in phuket ah I'm pretty sure you remember lah


I remember the time we went to <tamil>ராஜா:raja</tamil> island that was a good time you know, through was really yes yes yes why lah, I mean


go to drink wanted to bring a bottle,


imagine if we had drank we would have gotten I don't know lah you know it's it's it's actually it was a blessing in disguise yes


but they honestly they, one of the one of the best trips I had you know because


ya true true true true they are just bored and tired of each other


so I was quite happy because we got a lot of friends' ideas he he actually said err, you know, he actually said that


so ya with that being said I think uh, there are in fact ya it was it was just only recently where I was actually just talking to <tamil>சைலேஷ்:sailesh</tamil> remember, and uh, fellow fellow was saying lah he said


uh yes yes yes yes


that's true lah it's completely agreedd lah


of course of course ya ya ya ya ya (mmhmm) of course of course


I mean <tamil>நான் அத பாகவேய முடில அது ஆனா:naan atha paakavey mudila athu aana</tamil> uh he is saying along the lines of let's say he voice recorded one minute thirty one seconds and uh <tamil>அனா பாக்க முடியாது என்ன:ana paaka mudiyathu enna</tamil> because I I I don't want to open the chat and later on he find out that I did <tamil>இன்னும் இன்னும்:inum inum</tamil> type <tamil>பண்றன்:panran</tamil> so don't discuss it later


okay okay


(mmhmm)


then uh after that I went and had my breakfast


because okay so basically, ah


bet on bet on it coming back to it what was I saying, pancakes okay so basically uh the thing is got two mistakes first things first so I I


pea lah is in the peas peas peas pea protein so the so the good thing so the good thing, so the good thing is that , err, okay <tamil>அந்த அந்த:antha antha</tamil> the protein leh


he's it's it's it's acne but uh natural product you know, so err okay in other news <tamil>சைலேஷ் தெரியுமா:sailesh teriyuma</tamil> he's <tamil>அவருக்கு ரொம்ப கோவம் என்ன:avaruku romba kovam enna</tamil> we're going to the bar


okay, but uh, okay okay, the thing is, if you hear the voice recording


but he explaining lah he's explaining, let's see how the story develops into lah


ya ya ya, okay so <tamil>என்போமே:epomey</tamil> pea protein


so then after that I my dad <tamil>நான்:naan</tamil> know he he also started because he bought some herbal protein you know from his friend very expensive lah it's not a good brand I mean it's herbal brand then , berries flavour ah berries, so the thing is so now because then when I I saw that I'm like I went to google on carousell <tamil>தெரியுமா:teriyuma</tamil> carousell


now then after that , then, err what do you call it


I went to check lah I saw actually realised, my my usual go to protein has pea protein you know which is all herbs and it literally states there, err err <tamil>பால் இல்ல:paal illa</tamil> two good things that <tamil>ரெண்டு:rendu</tamil> one good thing is that it doesn't trigger hormones okay <tamil>கொஞ்சம்:konjam</tamil> so I was like okay I will get it


okay so and the thing is that down is there's unclear I can get in the market, I think it's a today <tamil>கோசம் கொஞ்சம் என்ன என்ன நான்:kojam konjam enna enna naan</tamil> I think told before I am following jeff program so


even his prep and his programme start you know full body, so the thing is <tamil>நான்:naan</tamil> try <tamil>பண்ணன்:pannan</tamil> okay pancakes so two first, thing is that, the pan was not hot cause the liquid liquid the second thing was


berries flavour <tamil>சாப்டான்:saptan</tamil> so it looks like purple


so I edited them a bit then after that I went to cook, then just met you lah, but I've been making protein pancakes for the past few days so err


I've seen a lot of benefits, as in I would not say benifits but like , my, the consistency in making the best pancake has evolved throughout so a few tips tips and advice is err the


you know pace but uh the blend the mixture is it thick or is it thin like the consistency you know when you eat yoghurt, you know the the yoghurt you have in uh, NTUC when you open up the whole page the the the the thing and then it's like a bit


ya so is yours like that or is it thinner, ya your mix before you fry it on the pan


it was okay you know because uh <tamil>நான் வந்து அந்த:naan vanthu antha</tamil> recipie follow <tamil>பண்ணும் போது:panum bothu</tamil> they told me to be careful of the consistency of your the mixture, so, when I realise that, -EMPTY-1, cause I mean if you think of it if it's something that sticks when you pour on a pan <tamil>அது நைசா ரவுண்டு ஆகும்:athu naisa ravundu aagum</tamil> okay so <tamil>அதுனால ரொம்ப தனியா தனியா இருக்கும் போது:athunala romba thaniya thaniya irukum bothu</tamil> Thosai exactly because it is like <tamil>தாமில் வந்து:tamila vanthu</tamil> Thosai english is pancake potato potato so if you think about it <tamil>வெங்காயம்:vengayam</tamil> !huh! <tamil>வெண்ண:venna</tamil> I use olive oil I show show show you what I do with olive oil is that you know the kitchen paper I pour the olive oil on the pan <tamil>இருக்குல்ல:irukula</tamil> kitchen paper <tamil>எடுத்து:yeaduthu</tamil> wipe around it so it looks like there is almost no oil but it's just one thin layer of of of olive oil


why do you what can you say that you all I did


but you gave me, you (mmhmm) you should you should you should because even in <tamil>பாட்டி:paati</tamil> cause how I learn how to make my <tamil>பாட்டி:paati</tamil> was on who taught me to make <tamil>தோசை:dosa</tamil> I used to eat so I realised it's more or less the same idea behind that so


you know they say the <tamil>கோதுமை மாவு அந்த மாவு:gothuma maavu antha maavu</tamil> you cannot put too much oil if not it burns too fast then you cannot get the consistent, texture in the whole Thosai so same idea can be proved to the pancake what so that's that's how I learn it for my <tamil>பாட்டி:paati</tamil> to my pancakes that's how I try lah try lah cause another thing is that <tamil>ரொம்ப:romba</tamil> thin eh <tamil>இருக்கும் போது:irukum bothu</tamil> when the mixture is too <tamil>ரொம்ப:romba</tamil> thin eh <tamil>இருக்கும் போது:irukum bothu</tamil> put more flour or one thing is that I do is that I uh add oats


I put add okay, I guess


wait wait wait if you think about it what that is is that <tamil>அது வந்து முட்ட டா:athu vanthu mutta da</tamil> it's like english breakfast because <tamil>முட்ட:mutta</tamil> with with milk okay okay I have seen one of the guys he made it very very simple


he didn't put even self raising flour the reason I put the self raising flour is that it gives you that that thick the the pancake it it it expands a bit uh uh


<tamil>டேய் டேய் டேய்:dei dei dei</tamil> trust me cause cause <tamil>டேய்:dei</tamil> you think about it the thing that makes the pancake a pancake is the carbohydrates so where is the carbohydrate okay okay I understand wait wait wait wait but I think if you want ah try try putting in oats lah oats or self raising flour because both are carbohydrates I mix both


so I get the balanced macros for my whole meal !huh! why I I I have been using banana and, oh


oh, okay the thing is <tamil>எத்தனை மணிகி:eathana maniki</tamil> or you going gym


okay so the thing is okay so, you know the thing okay so like now like every week


pass <tamil>எடுக்க போனான்:yeaduka ponan</tamil> okay lah let's just do, ya so, ya lah after everything you know me and the boys so ya I mean, the thing is <tamil>அஸ்வின்:ashwin</tamil> what's the plan tomorrow <tamil>டா:daa</tamil> because ah I wanted to take this home


I might have to meet yani okay in the morning, , in terms of


from where okay that's the thing because leaving <tamil>தர்ஷன்:dharshan</tamil> house eh, I was thinking <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> okay <tamil>தர்ஷன் தான் சொன்னான் எட்டு மணிகி கொஞ்சம்:dharshan thaan sonnan ettu maniki konjam</tamil> late


we'll set it at eight sharp you know eight sharp seven forty five the thing is that before that we got reno options, if want to save costs can always meal prep


cook dinner bring, go russain's house, then probably around <tamil>ஒரு பத்திர மணிகி:oru pathura maniki</tamil> max next one nationals, so I was thinking


the thing is we can always go to we can always we can head to , ya probably would bite


then thing is what time would we, I was thinking balestier or joo koon


okay, let's say that means of takinh as in


okay then the only question is uh


my father send ah, my father can send if cannot send then <tamil>தேன் எடுக்குறது ஒன்னும் இல்ல:thean eadukurathu onum illa</tamil> it's quite it's quite it's quite accessible nowadays


can lah, or I want okay okay okay


actually actually honestly I was thinking right !huh!, I was thinking of doing work at home, cause it is my school work so it's it's I mean


because if it's like doing something else I wouldn't mind going out to do something because it's schoolwork I I think because the last few days I have been very focused, so cause of that uh must I must come to gym at least I can sit down I don't have to waste time traveling here and there I can just finish up as much as a can if you want I can meet you for meet for a pint also I don't mind before we head over to <tamil>தர்ஷன்:dharshan</tamil> place


uh, where you find, !huh! I thought it was two two


okay never mind never mind I am okay not drinking, it's just that I mean it's a saturday night


I mean I honestly think we just need half an hour at one place we don't need that long to just maybe one hour to half an hour max so if you think about it seven


unless you want me to bring you to the to the pasir panjang <tamil>இதே இது யாரு:ithey ithu yaaru</tamil> I bring you to the place ah office bistro it's cheap so ya I bring you there then then then it's perfect because it's very near pasir panjang


okay then you are gonna be there at six o'clock, you can chill six o'clock we got to leave here by, five o'clock lah five five thirty so it gives me twelve to five to do my work


I hope so by by tonight I have to finish, okay okay the thing the thing now now I am thinking now is , gym morning or night because night night evening it's already ya


you think k, so I super I really <tamil>என்னக்கு படி தான்:ennaku padi thaan</tamil> you know the, okay but that time you start on saturday right remember what what what was it


serious ah means they cancel, I said so how fifteen minutes before


and you still can book


how we can because if you if you want to go


ya what we're gonna do I'm thinking would that affect me in the gym in the evening or just clear it I don't mind clearing honestly <tamil>எதுக்காக:yeathukaaga</tamil> it's really better if I clear it first I don't eat breakfast so otherwise I'd have plans because saturday you not going to the office <tamil>கே வெளில தான்:kae velila thaan</tamil> the thing is that


err let's say <tamil>அவருக்கு ஒரு பாத்துரமணிகி:avaruku oru pathuramaniki</tamil> meet <tamil>பேணுவோம்:panuvom</tamil> then


so, you know, ya so mall <tamil>எப்பிடி:epidi</tamil> lah


mall lah, okay mall


he, he is someone of certain calibre certain stature so, one way to to help him out is to you know


it's human nature you know if I can offer you something you you you will definitely want it, but you won't dare you want to learn from him it's then he will say he has no time this and that so it depends it depends on how we can


you can add value to him ya, but I I I would say there is no harm meeting him right now so I mean at the end of the day he he's a genuine nice guy someone who can grow teach us a lot of things so we can look at this in two different ways


you know but uh, we have death and death is one that is secured death is secured


so the thing is that, should I ask, tomorrow


in terms of like like like I can I can plan out the week next week or should I just nothing stopping me <tamil>இப்போ தான் ஆச படுவான்:ipo thaan aasa paduvan</tamil> or or or, straight call <tamil>பண்ணு:pannu</tamil> honestly


okay lah, friday actually, ya because most of them are family guys so it's it's hard to say hard to get hold of them as well during the weekends because they don't wanna look at their phone I mean different people have different


different ways of messaging then again they are they are the older generation so it's hard it's hard to say, one thing you can do I mean I I wouldn't say there's anything wrong texting them anytime, but honestly if they are okay I think you just gotta give to them one last try you know if they reply they reply if not we give them six months to think to try again


it's it's cause at the end of the day I'm sure, these guys won't forget us it's just that now they're probably busy you never know what they will do in six months just, see lah, okay other than that


'cause ya he blue tick but


other than that (mmhmm), you are dating for


what do you where do you you feel like lah, actually honestly an idea that I have thought is that ah, robo town okay as in ah, (mmhmm)


think about it and it is about fifteen, okay, fifty three R forty three C G T S R sixty three I mean the what do you call it


all day promotion, it's ten dollars a pint for any pint guinness


they have uh, , what else they have they have <tamil>நம்ம போலான:namma polana</tamil> beers


like like like <tamil>சில:silla</tamil> happy hour <tamil>இருக்க:iruka</tamil> then oh as in net ya okay okay <tamil>கொஞ்சம்:konjam</tamil> cheap <tamil>தான:thaana</tamil> leh


one for one day <tamil>எவ்ளோ:evlo</tamil> , because you know the only thing I'm thinking because at that time


we're not too sure but uh yesterday the day before yesterday when I went uh it was very quiet because I think maybe uh weekday <tamil>அதன் அதன் கொஞ்சம்:athan athan konjam</tamil> quiet eh <tamil>இருக்கு வர:iruku vara</tamil> but uh


so I mean we can go there then we will probably very near to dashain's place then you can head off to dashain's place after that


if not for dashain's house <tamil>கேட்ட:keata</tamil> I will not go to that area, you know so you could say that


okay okay okay okay okay I I I <tamil>கொஞ்சம்:konjam</tamil> quite excited lah okay okay, okay okay


I think you can just, you know chill, catch up a bit, talk here and there then after all maybe can


you know play some board game or play some games, no no no he he he's saying that some of his friends are coming so


so I mean based on that lah see see cause it's our first time meeting his friends so we don't know how his friends are like <tamil>வராங்க:varanga</tamil> so, we have to see lah we have to see whether uh how are they like are they the type who wants to chill or they want to play games


depending on the crowd lah then we can go with the flow <tamil>ரெண்டுமே தப்பு இல்ல:rendumey thappu illa</tamil> I'm okay, okay lah I mean okay so thinking now till end end december, okay then


what else, 'cause <tamil>நான் நான் நான்:naan naan naan</tamil> like so what how I'm thinking is that <tamil>கொஞ்சம் இல்ல இல்ல:konjam illa illa</tamil> business because <tamil>தர்ஷன் கொஞ்சம்:dharshan konjam</tamil> business


legit legit, therefore part part part but more leisure, new years but because I'm thinking <tamil>என்ன இன்னும் இந்த வருசத்துல:enna inum intha varusathula</tamil> we haven't had one drinking business


you know it's it's , the thing is that because I I how I'm saying is that, unless he really forgot to like to like too busy or it's like I'm like okay you know I understood


like we can just give them, you know won't say anything much, but uh, I mean it's, I think you you have come courtesy that we did a shoot for you all


at least, you didn't return the favour I mean we shouldn't be expecting that by it's at least common courtesy you know so that's why I'm saying like I think he will get back to us but he is just probably busy you know I mean even he doesn't in a few weeks' time message him I don't think there is anything wrong


okay so <tamil>அந்த படத்துல:antha padathula</tamil> because of that this is the one I wanted to show you, ben okay ben is okay, ben is <tamil>கிராகுமோஸ்:gragumos</tamil> warehouse <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> warehouse <tamil>அவங்க சொன்னாங்க:avanga sonanga</tamil> february, february open shop


so either <tamil>இது மொத கோபி தான்:ithu motha kopi thaan</tamil> so I was thinking probably next week <tamil>கொஞ்சம்:konjam</tamil> free eh


so it's all six twelve six twelve, but but the thing is <tamil>அந்த அந்த வெளிய:antha antha veliya</tamil> the inside <tamil>கொஞ்சம் நல்ல இருக்கு:konjam nalla iruku</tamil> so the thing is when you're free I'll probably contact him one more time okay I'll probably tell him


for shoots possible you know because this guy the law you know so this is one thing I can text him again lesley is michael is a motorway you qi bernard I tried him again feather never reply


you know I ah I don't know I think I don't think I've texted him any time soon, I think got about ten seconds ah


it's it's it's been a while since I've had some alone time the past few days so, uh I did some reflection yesterday you know, it allow me to reflect on how the year has been going


so how's err how's your day lah, sunday sunday, why ah


okay


I mean honestly err


I think, there are a few solutions right now regarding the COVID issue lah so, were quite affected by, by the COVID issue because err <tamil>வங்களோட வேலைலாம்:vangaloda velailam</tamil> they were quite


uh they had to be rescheduled in terms of their shifts and everything so, so, I was just thinking how is it when you when you applied to me because likewise for you I think the COVID has affected everywhere else in in in many industries as well so


so one of the ways to look at is to try to take the positive out of out of out of this lah like err you know many home based companies were starting and, we could try to look at it in that perspective if you wanted to try something out differently because err


avation <tamil>பொறுத்த வரைக்கும் ஒரு நாலு அஞ்சி வருஷம் தான் இருக்கும்:porutha varaikum oru naalu anji varusam thaan irukum</tamil> so, at least what we can do this four to five years is that uh, we try to make the best of this four to five years lah so that I mean even when you are <tamil>நீ சொல்லும்போது நீ இப்போ படிக்கிறாளா:nee solumbothu nee ipo padikirala</tamil> so


at least when you give yourself these few years to to build up, then then do something different if it's if it's beneficial for you then you can you can, uh continue with with whatever new new thing you have started if not then you can you can try heading onto the aviation industry again lah because by four to five years everything will be ok what


actually honestly, uh I think


uh both of us are into, the aviation industry so I can I can relate when you when you're saying that you know uh, your parents want uh uh I want still wanting you to to,


to go into the aviation industry right because I mean, other than, other than they they they like to see this, this this foresight you know I I I don't know if it's it makes sense but, when they lag to see this foresight, it puts us in a in a difficult situation right now because we are thinking of the current situation right now you know


'cause <tamil>அது தான் நம்மள பாதிக்க பாத்தது:athu thaan nammala baathika pathathu</tamil> so, if you want to, to venture into something different I mean it's it's it's only


our situation together with them sit down and then


it's not it's not up to us you know because at the end of the day, one one thing I I I quite quite believe on quite believe in is that it's our it's our life in the future you know it has to


so, we need to sit down and explain to them why are we are making this this career switch, or is it temporarily or even long term it's it's up to us in the future lah, but I think maybe for for you you can think of is why not integrating two different industries together like like trying like you seem to be in the business but got no experience but if you have experience in the aviation and you have interest in business why not combine and join something like aircraft leasing where you're into uh aviation business the private sector of aviation you know what I mean


if, , if you talk about COVID and how it's affecting our industry right now I mean I think previously we had this conversation where you told me uh, if people are gonna start flying, when they start flying it's goal is to kick off with the business aviation because that's where you know everything is more isolated you know it it it doesn't allow too many too many traffic in terms of of people bumping into one another so


so I mean, to start your career maybe besides aviation might be a good avenue for you start off lah but


uh, I mean I, like I told you I was just reflecting so, the the thing okay my thought process was uh, same thing like like like you


uh, ya just aviation cause right now I I'm finishing my, my, my final research paper on, on my current module you know and then the next year onwards I'm going onto my second year, of my degree so


I was just thinking you know uh what other possibilities in my side, because for me I mean business was was never never the sort or never the interest, so how can I, more or less you know do something relating to my passion you know so


so with that being said, I do not know if, if I should be focusing something relating to my passion because uh


as passion is it can be really when you're doing something relating to your passion it's, it's more or less !huh! ya it's not a chore you go to work happy, at least there's a purpose in life for you when you whenever you doing something relating to your passion but then again the other question is it's it's whether it pays well lah you know because there's always that doubt or or that that that concern


that gets gets stuck in your head where whether it it it is successful <tamil>இது பண்ணன் இது பெரிய இது தவற:ithu pannan ithu seriya ithu thavara</tamil> you don't know where you gonna go you know that uncertainty is the one that kills sometimes so that's that that's why what I was thinking to myself whether you know passion is the right


step forward for me lah


okay lah, my second brother is now


you mean before or after, okay he was in temasek poly ya ya tampines tampines he was in temasek poly but after that uh


you know me I mean I I I've always been pro


uh, army you know I've always enjoyed my time in the army and and and everything was was well over there <tamil>ஆனா என்னக்கு பொறுத்த வரையிலும்:aana ennaku porutha varayilum</tamil> it's like, like uh when you sign on, you got to know your stuff before you sign on lah I mean


I'm I'm not not, err whether he wanted to whether it was the right place for him sign on is another question because right now he he he seems that he's very


that his life is very boring it's very mundane he's not doing anything well in his life that's what he he he's trying to say but then again if, I also I, I've spoken to him a few times and he's been


reluctant because to do anything about his level because that's his character so I mean, I could only say


group lah message <tamil>பண்ணன் ஆனா:pannan aana</tamil> actually he's doing he's involved in a major project in the army so, he was he was, it's quite excited about that and then, brought some <tamil>பெருமை:peruma</tamil> into my parents lah my parents were replying to the group congrats you know happy for you I mean <tamil>அவனுக்கு:avanuku</tamil> it is a good stepping stone for his resume because I mean he is still young <tamil>அவனுக்கு வந்து இறுதி ரெண்டு வயசு தான்:avanuku vanthu iruvathi rendu vayasu thaan</tamil> so


he still have a lot to learn lah he still have a lot to learn lah that that there is still, I can see the good side of him but then probably he needs to go through a bit more of experience in life to feel it that's when he was able to grow a bit more lah


but other than that ya that's my second brother my young one now he is err youngest brother he seems during the during, he's doing same thing also temasek poly as well <tamil>அவன் வந்தும்மா மூணு பெரும்:avan vanthuama moonu perum</tamil> temasek poly <tamil>இல்ல இல்ல இல்ல நானும் ஏன் தம்பியும்:illa illa illa naanum yean thambiyum</tamil> aerospace engineering <tamil>கடைசி தம்பி வந்து:kadaisi thambi vanthu</tamil> biomedical engineering so


how would I say he doesn't know, whether that's his passion or whether that that that's his interest because his he went on it based on on something that he used to like he he liked to do last time when he was younger which is something got to do with err err doctor you know medicine and being a surgeon he used to play and that that's why he got the interest in in in


the medicine side of the industry so, airplane airplane you know so


it it's nice it is stable income and everything so because of that


oh it is just stability lah in a way we are like, that's why that's why they are, they are, that's why they are they are advocating uh to be in the aviation industry but then like I said


my brother my youngest brother, he's always spoken about about you know how, the old war planes were like you know and and that's how he got his interest inside the aviation industry so what, but how it links to his career he is still unfamiliar because he he he wants to be part of aviation industry but he doesn't know how because whatever he is studying right now is a bit uh a bit useless


so because of that he's but he's got <tamil>அவனுக்கு இன்னும் ஒரு வருஷம் இருக்குல்ல:avanuku inum oru varusam irukula</tamil> you know <tamil>படிக்கிறதுக்கு:padikirathuku</tamil> finding out <tamil>அதுவும் இல்லாம அவனுக்கு:athuvum illama avanuku</tamil> national service <tamil>இருக்கு:iruku</tamil> I can honestly picture him signing on if he wants to


he is someone I would rather sign on then my second brother because my second brother you know he he's he's a bit lazy he's a bit slow in his life but my youngest he he is a bit more energetic he can, he can lead uh


I mean instead of sending or something like like a particular specialist you know the pay for the time being as a as a diploma holder when you get off as a diploma holder is decent pays pays you to point to point for you know it's decent started starting pay allows you to climb but then again, I mean, instead of signing on something like like err as specialist you know the pay for that time being as a as a diploma holder when you get off as a diploma holder it's decent pay it pays you two point two point four it is a decent starting pay it allows you to climb but then again


if you did better in your in your army and then you got you got yourself uh into officer cadet school then you commissioned as an officer and when you come out your starting pay is almost three thousand and then the opportunities for you to climb is much better compared to a specialist because specialist is always associated with with uh people with no studies education


but, comparing my my err brother, he is going to start his degree so where does that he put it, cause <tamil>அவனுக்கு இன்னும் தெரில:avanuku inum terila</tamil> whether he will stay in the force or not, so he's <tamil>அவனுக்கு வந்து:avanuku vanthu</tamil> he's given himself about five to


and about five years he wants to complete and get a degree and then if he doesn't like the force then he will leave the force you know but if he enjoys where he he's been where , but he's he likes the the force or he likes the the the things of his vocation is like the the next five years then I also know he doesn't mind staying lah you know but it's it's all depending on whether they allow his degree to be whether a specialist is okay with


with having a degree because if you think about it all the warrant officers all the specialists they rarely have degrees you know the one with degrees are usually high flyers know but, that that that gives you a different perspective lah whether he wants to stay in or not lah, you know so


I mean


okay


he's a very naughty boy ah


wallet


ah <tamil>ராஜா:raja</tamil> islands was


after the, the third or fourth day like like you mention


it's unnecessary


you mean monkey shoulder


I completely agree completely agree I mean


I mean I I won't I won't I won't say anything much right because, at the end of the day if if people are unhappy with with, whatever we're doing I mean we can't we can't do anything about it lah I mean at the end of the day new year <tamil>நம்ம:namma</tamil> new year <tamil>போறது:porathu</tamil> to enjoy to have have have a good time together so


honestly at the end of the day it's it's whatever that makes everyone else happy lah that's what I am going for lah no no point having petty argument this and there people people people are going to be, are gonna be so petty I mean they are the ones losing out because, they they lack the the the higher perspective lah but then again I don't want to dwell over this <tamil>அவங்க அவங்க என்ன நெனைக்கிறது செய்யட்டும்:avanga avanga enna nenakirathu seiyatum</tamil> you just follow


never mind it's okay fair enough fair enough okay I think, after this after this I need to go and uh, help my mum because uh


so because of that, she's she's one of the nurse managers of the diabetic center so she's organising and and and small charity event for her for her for her nurses to go and deliver small products to to some of the community


the elderly places in marine parade ya ya ya of course I mean <tamil>நான் நான் டஹ்ப்புனு சொல்ல இல்ல இல்ல இல்ல:naan naan tahppunu solla illa illa illa</tamil> so, I need to to go and help her you know set up all the the they are making some kind of


gift bags and everything so, soap towel towel uh it's like toothbrush and a few err biscuits <tamil>சாப்பாடு ஜாமான் இருக்கு:sapaadu jaaman iruku</tamil> so just go and err help her pack some stuff and then we head off to marine parade for a while and then I think after that


so, once I finish gym then probably start on some err work lah you know school has been like that lah you know same old


so <tamil>அது முடிச்சோனே:athu mudichoney</tamil> cause <tamil>நான் நான் நான் அன்னிக்கி தான உண்ட தான சொன்னான்:naan naan naan aniki thaana unta thaana sonnan</tamil> you know I am doing my research paper so submission is by sunday so I just got to focus on that, so other than that that will be my day for today lah yours


wonderful


pancakes <tamil>எப்பிடிடா:epidida</tamil> , ah


and uh, okay


but ya ya ya I have heard the benefits of pea protein, why


probably


okay


berries okay


program grab so


I see I see


(mmhmm), as in for what the pancakes I would say mine is, the thing is because I couldn't


not lah <tamil>வெயில் அந்த:veyil antha</tamil> heat <tamil>இல்ல:illa</tamil> so <tamil>அந்த சூடு இல்ல:antha soodu illa</tamil> so because of that that's why when I poured it, like the <tamil>ஒரு தண்ணி தண்ணி மாறி இருக்கு:oru thanni thanni maari iruku</tamil> you know, it wasn't solidified you know and so because it wasn't hot


well it became scrambled eggs lah because technically if if let's say in terms of uh egg style it's supposed to be an omelette where it's already hot and so you can flip mine was medium heat so it's by the time you #pi cha# the thing after you break the thing it becomes scrambled eggs already so like like you said it's it's so how the thing is how how was your first time


do you know what I did, about three seconds squirtings of oil, 'cause now because I realise when you don't put oil it becomes hardened easily quickly, you get what I mean it gets <tamil>பொண்ணு:ponnu</tamil> easily, but you give me, I think that I think that's that's that's that's where <tamil>தப்பு தப்பு பண்ணன்:thappu thappu pannan</tamil> I really use a lot of oil correct ya ya I mean they are very rare


okay okay so what what what's the ingredients


pancake <tamil>கொஞ்சம்:konjam</tamil> it looks quite good
