just a normal restaurants and then I went to another restaurant in melbourne and I got the same reception from like the people there, so, quite heartwarming lah when people ask you like [orh] you know how's your food they genuinely like want to know how good is their food or like, are you really enjoying their food


so to me, that that was one of the most memorable meals that I had although it's a simple like pasta, at some italian restaurant, then like people think it's like !wah!, pasta <mandarin>而已:er yi</mandarin> mah also nothing much like


but then right when you input like the ambience the weather, and the reception that like how they <mandarin>招待:zhao dai</mandarin> me right !wah! I tell you, even the food not good right also like the feeling right damn good, ya, so


quite good quite good and that was my most memorable memorable meal, ya I think the, ya the experience ah made it memorable ah, made made it like !wah!


, okay, so err the next one hor, it's a, what is the one thing that you wish was free, !wah! you see this question also a lot of, a lot of <mandarin>看头:kan tou</mandarin> eh and like you can see from a lot of different point of view


but money how do you say money is free eh, how do you buy money, can <mandarin>买钱:mai qian</mandarin> meh you cannot <mandarin>买钱:mai qian</mandarin> what, right


like you cannot say you <mandarin>赚钱:zhuan qian</mandarin> free also mah Tio Bo, (mmhmm)


plain water lah, okay, I think, one thing was free !wah! actually this one also not, not easy leh don't really <mandarin>不容易:bu rong yi</mandarin> to <mandarin>想:xiang</mandarin> how ah


one thing is free


but then if you if you think about it right, if it's free right, that means, someone will will be making a loss, like , like if let's say okay like let's say if you say water okay then err


plain water is free so singapore they buy water mah, from malaysia but then ah if water is free ah, then malaysia won't be earning money mah, correct, so they will lose lose out mah


they lose out money so malaysia the whole country they will lose out money, so it's it's always two sided one mah, it can be free for everyone, but then, one party who is selling it


might be, might be might might lose out lah


ya but but you you <mandarin>想:xiang</mandarin> ah if like, malaysia has, has been selling singapore money ah eh has been selling singapore, the water right then hor like if they get it free then then they need they lose one one portion of their money already mah


but then they didn't really <mandarin>赚这笔钱:zhuan zhe bi qian</mandarin> already mah, so it's like to them if if water was free then they lose out lor, I mean they can still venture into other things lah they can go into, different different like, like want to <mandarin>卖店:mai dian</mandarin> lah <mandarin>卖卖卖什么:mai mai mai shen me</mandarin> lah here and there


also can lah but then I mean, that's the trade off lor if you want something to be free someone has to, like it's never a win win <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> mah, sometimes


correct, okay lah so we move on to the next topic lah, so if err if humans no longer needed to work to survive, what would we do, okay I think we we you should change this question lah


what would you do, because if you want to say we as a human very collectively right, then I think a bit hard, but if you say what you want to do right then it's a bit different already


so what would you do


, I think hor, err the the few things that I want to do right, it's like go and


I think, that one if I really nothing to do right maybe I go and, like <mandarin>请:qing</mandarin> a boat or or or whatever ah, then go and go and clean the ocean


go and like, help the environment lor, cause I think are helping, the environment not only helps, us but also helps like the whole world, so it's like


err I also want my kids next time to live longer lah have more beautiful things to see I also wan my kids next tend to live longer lah have more beautiful things to see, so when quite important lah I find, then err one more is also travel the world lor like you said lah, cause it has been my dream ah to travel the world


ah to different places want to go to the, ah want to go and see see look look open my eyes to different culture different perspective


which is important lah to have, to have all these [bah], like how you <mandarin>看东西:kan dong xi</mandarin> lor a bit different lah, from the rest, so


you experience all this, all this <mandarin>不同的东西:bu tong de dong xi</mandarin> right then like , you your, , your <mandarin>思想:si xiang</mandarin> right will


it'll be more open to, like when you see different things, that's why I say err think all this, err, some of these err, all the small small things that actually happen like some people like


make it very big, because, their perspective ah, like their <mandarin>思想:si xiang</mandarin> not very <mandarin>大:da</mandarin> so they think like [orh] you know this thing is !wah! suddenly become !wah!


on hindsight ah, you think about it it's like !wah!, ya so I think sometimes the perspective is like very broad, when your perspective is broad then, the things you see you can see it in different manners


so very interesting I like to travel on one of my main point, it's not just to see the world but to also, like <mandarin>开放:kai fang</mandarin> my <mandarin>思想:si xiang</mandarin> so like next time when people do things


I can understand like [orh] you know actually <mandarin>为什么:wei shen me</mandarin> they do this <mandarin>为什么:wei shen me</mandarin> they do that, ah, ,


, ya


okay, next one ah let's go to err what everyday activity right, will be a torture, you have to if you had to do it for eight hours straight


actually your, I was thinking very <mandarin>不同:bu tong</mandarin> very different, if you ask me to do everyday I do ah for eight hours straight ah, I would say I would


ya, so very different I cannot, !wah! you ask me to you ask me to eat like one biscuit ah for eight hours straight ah !wah! then I will I will really <mandarin>吐:tu</mandarin> over over the floor one I tell you, cannot sia eight hours, but you eat the biscuit !wah! <mandarin>不可以不可以:bu ke yi bu ke yi</mandarin> like one minute later you put one more in !wah! cannot cannot then you put one more in put one more in !wah! you keep putting in for eight hours ha !wah! how many biscuits you eat sia


!wah! quite crazy leh <mandarin>不可以:bu ke yi</mandarin> lah cannot lah, okay okay you know like not much to talk about leh okay, what's the pettiest reason ah you will dislike someone


[orh]


!wah! pettiest reason, that <mandarin>我不喜欢:wo bu xi huan</mandarin> someone, I think I don't really have eh, I didn't really have eh think <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> leh like


cause ah, my mindset has been very, very receptive to everyone, so whoever I meet, I have like a whole


whole different mindset not wouldn't I wouldn't say mindset lah <mandarin>不会讲:bu hui jiang</mandarin> ah mindset lah how to say ah, like <mandarin>不同的:bu tong de</mandarin> err, err as a person then I will know them first then I treat them differently


like according to like like <mandarin>他们是谁:ta men shi shei</mandarin> like if you are my close friend then got different treatment got , if you are my closer friends then maybe <mandarin>更好的:geng hao de</mandarin> treatment, then if you have like my normal friend then you just okay lah you get the normal lah


I mean it's not that I want to put them on levels, but then it's like, if I'm close to you obviously I, but then I I I don't really like, so like


because I also come from hospitality mah so whenever and meet like new people right, like I don't know them at all maybe I hear stories about them or whatever lah but to me is I don't know them at all I treat them as a human


as a friend as whoever, until I make like, a a judgement against them, that err you know this guy err, it'll be nice to be with can maybe can be my <mandarin>朋友:peng you</mandarin> or


or might can be my close friend or what whatever lah, so I think dislike someone like, err pettiest not really lah I mean I have people that I dislike, but the pettiest, I don't really have a reason leh


, ya, , ya lah ya lah can say so lah


(mmhmm), !wah!, okay so what's your answers,


, (mmhmm), (uh huh), (uh huh)


(mmhmm)


!wah! like very <mandarin>特别:te bie</mandarin> right, ya, it's like it's like, close to your own label already,


, [orh]


, err, one skill that I want to master, is err, what's that ah, I had it


ah, you go on to your second one first, oh ya that's the one that I was thinking ya correct correct


so err, cause last time I, got work in the <mandarin>厨房:chu fang</mandarin> mah the school last something when when I was in poly that time I work at the <mandarin>厨房:chu fang</mandarin> quite quite cool then they got the, they got different <mandarin>厨房:chu fang</mandarin> one they got like those err <mandarin>做蛋糕:zuo dan gao</mandarin> one then they got the <mandarin>煮菜:zhu cai</mandarin> one


pastry lah what eclair lah lemon meringue pie ah creme brulee those kind, so like I think ah part of my my interest for baking right comes from there


maybe about half my height


in the bowl it's like twice my face kind, !wah! then they <mandarin>转转转:zhuan zhuan zhuan</mandarin> !wah!, quite cool leh like I think then the when they put in ah, then like wait, the the waiting time right !wah! very, very exciting one cause like


then you like <mandarin>等等等等等:deng deng deng deng deng</mandarin> then suddenly hear the like !wah! <mandarin>来了来了来了:lai le lai le lai le</mandarin> then you take out then you see then you smell !wah!


so it's like sometimes when I bake also I want to feel that way ah, cause it's like quite cool mah, everybody like, [orh] it's just baking Nia what nothing to do also just baking you just put in wait wait wait but then


when you when I was doing also right then I had all my friends with me, so it's like when we wait right then we like, it was, just like everybody keep looking at the oven like I think six of us ah


then we, and it ting then you just like <mandarin>跳:tiao</mandarin> a bit, then suddenly you like !wah! damn excited then you open the door of the oven right and you take out, and you smell then the chef will ask you


smell smell you smell see whether <mandarin>香:xiang</mandarin> or not, then we like, then we like !wah! super <mandarin>香:xiang</mandarin> eh chef can eat then after that the chef say cannot cause this one need to sell one then we like !aiya!


so it's like, if I want to master a skill I would like to master baking, cause I I want to always feel that sense of achievement of pulling the tray right, then you see like all your heart and soul go into baking this thing right then it comes out so nice then we see people enjoy it right is like


double the, so quite Shiok ya, you eh what would you want to master making, (mmhmm)


I I think the sense of achievement, ah comes from just err, err, firstly is by taking out the tray you feeling that sense of achievement so if I master I take out the tray I know it's the same one mah so definitely that sense of achievement is no more already


but then ah when you take out the tray you put on the plate you let the customer eat, then you will see them <mandarin>开开心心:kai kai xin xin</mandarin> eat until, that sense of satisfaction right is damn


good one, it's like you know that people are, people recognize your efforts people know that you are a good chef, then people come back and <mandarin>吃:chi</mandarin> your <mandarin>东西:dong xi</mandarin> right !wah!, eh <mandarin>超爽:chao shuang</mandarin> really is


ya and then you know it's like when we see them eat right, cause we bought in the, the kitchen then the kitchen got mirror to see outside one mah, so it's like we sort of like, glancing at them


like staring at them right but then the the point of this staring right is to see how they react to our food, so when you see like !wow!, this <mandarin>东西:dong xi</mandarin> they give thumbs up ah !wah! <mandarin>好吃好吃:hao chi hao chi</mandarin> like that right and you know right yes your effort all like, really put in


and and it's recognized in the quality of the food, so, you leh why would you want to do baking


okay okay, interesting, so what's the third one that you are looking at what's your third thing that you want to master, oh wait did you say three already


(mmhmm), (mmhmm) (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), third one ah okay let me think third one right, actually ah I got few eh, but then ah thinking


so ah wait ah let me <mandarin>想想:xiang xiang</mandarin> a bit ah let me choose one a good one, err, maybe like, err


okay this one cannot really say master, but if I was, like <mandarin>超级:chao ji</mandarin> good at it right, I would choose err, to be managing people, because ah I think


there are a lot of different kinds of people mah in the world, so if I'm a, if I'm proficient at managing people right, then I think that err


it will be quite interesting, because ah there are so many, different kind of people that, you can meet in the world, and sometimes ah you don't, you don't really go and like, think of why they exist in singapore


or err I wouldn't say singapore maybe, so like I was watching the, so he he had this incident, he he went to a movie with his wife


then err, he he started like, err, when he was in the movie then, behind him got this woman then she like <mandarin>叽叽喳喳叽叽喳喳:ji ji zha zha ji ji zha zha</mandarin> keep on talking like <mandarin>一直讲话一直讲话讲不停:yi zhi jiang hua yi zhi jiang hua jiang bu ting</mandarin> one lah, then after that err when was when there was this like err


then the woman started like laughing, then he to him it's like, he <mandarin>演员:yan yuan</mandarin> mah, what is she like over there <mandarin>嘻嘻哈哈:xi xi ha ha</mandarin> like that


so he turn back right, then he the person leh, like he shush the person, then she she she tone down lah, then after the movie right, the person chase after him, like <mandarin>追他追追追追:zhui zhui zhui zhui zhui</mandarin> tab him on the back


say, then he like !huh! what you mean, like why you shush me lah then he say like


I'm just a movie goer, I'm trying to watch a movie but the woman is affecting everybody, so like on the way back right then he thought like eh


, if you if I to me it's like, if I know how to manage this kind of people right, then it will be quite interesting cause, there are a lot of scenarios mah, ya, so I think, if I want to be a master in something I would master in people management


ya, actually that's quite a cool skill eh people management I mean <mandarin>人家去:ren jia qu</mandarin> business school <mandarin>四年:si nian</mandarin> or,


, , good hor, very interesting ideas


[orh], true lah true, but I think err, like I also want to learn instrument, but then ah people management I find like, this one like you cannot like really go through process


like you have to meet the people, so if I master at it right that means that you have, uh, you have maybe been through or you have learned through all this right then I think quite cool cause you meet whoever right you know how to handle them, you know what's the right thing do you know what to say ya so quite interesting


like I also want to learn an instrument cajon I wanted to get a cajon, err it's basically like a drum ah, but it's not it's the <mandarin>用手打:yong shou da</mandarin> one so you sit on the thing right square box a rectangle box then <mandarin>用手:yong shou</mandarin> pa pa pa pa pa got the sound


ya so I also want to learn that one but that one is more process wise lah, so quite interesting so I want to learn that one also, , okay, bye


ya then, I don't know eh our school, like that [orh], on netflix I watch I think I watch quite a lot of


like, uh, it's like a love story and then, uh


and it's like a very chill movie is like basically the girl is , what is it called ah <mandarin>他是很像:ta shi hen xiang</mandarin> celebrity <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> so under the spotlight [orh] then, the guy is like a bookshop owner


but like they just happen to meet and then <mandarin>擦出火花:ca chu huo hua</mandarin> and shit lah , it's it's quite nice though it's really nice and the girl is very pretty but I can't remember her name


ya but she's very pretty and, it's like, I'm not going to sing lah so ya then


then <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> like eh


ya, like her right ya ya ya


[orh] ya ya ya the brother go harvard Sibei smart,

cause now fave <mandarin>有那个:you na ge</mandarin> promo lah but then, in the end the promo also didn't work so ya, ya lah but then, [orh] in the end where did we go to eat ah, there was err [orh] we ate ind the end we went to the japanese street there lah cause <mandarin>我们很久没有吃:wo men hen jiu mei you chi</mandarin> like japanese cuisine lor


err in the end I can't remember <mandarin>那个店叫什么:na ge dian jiao shen me</mandarin> lah but then it's near


is one of the stalls err further inside the japanese street then in the end err <mandarin>他们有那个:ta men you na ge</mandarin> value err dinner set lah so we ate there it was only like, sixteen dollars


pork cutlet then <mandarin>还有那个:hai you na ge</mandarin> Chawanmushi, and ah <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> Sashimi you should have


[orh] <mandarin>是那个:shi na ge</mandarin> the Udon place right last time I went sydney then they also have the same outlet in sydney lah but <mandarin>我忘记它叫什么名字:wo wang ji ta jiao shen me ming zi</mandarin> lah


I think it is cause <mandarin>我记得我的朋友:wo ji de wo de peng you</mandarin> like she said err it looks like the same like shop logo, I studied in sydney what for like


four months back in, NUS year three I think


I think both, I think <mandarin>因为他很聪明:yin wei ta hen cong ming</mandarin> lah then that's why they managed to expand into there


oh I remember still still can <mandarin>加:jia</mandarin> the the the fried stuff right what's that called the Tempura kind of stuff


ya lor cause now always like Dabao then also don't really eat out lah


err the food court there, ya now their nex no then now nex like now got a lot of people coming out already


ya, ya


!aiyo! they always <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> always like that one lah


ya lor they always think like that lah then <mandarin>他们有没有叫:ta men you mei you jiao</mandarin> like security


err, I didn't know you meet this kind of people, is this like


ya I think that, probably <mandarin>应该在:ying gai zai</mandarin> eh no in, early august


now is late august what


<mandarin>不记得:bu ji de</mandarin> probably like, was it in, in july I mean you should know mah you work from home I don't


, now <mandarin>现在你的:xian zai ni de</mandarin> office is like what like once a week then <mandarin>你你可以回去:ni ni ke yi hui qu</mandarin> ah


ya cause like easier lor


, I mean mine also can't like <mandarin>没有办法:mei you ban fa</mandarin> lah I still have to go back lah but then ours is also like <mandarin>他们也是会:ta men ye shi hui</mandarin> split, split split team lah cause


they also scared a lot of people, then will like pass, but now I see like on the bus like <mandarin>好像今天:hao xiang jin tian</mandarin> right like I took the bus back from work right, it was quite crowded leh I don't know whether <mandarin>他们是:ta men shi</mandarin> tourists or like expats lah but got quite a few like foreigners


ya that's why I thought like cause we don't accept like tourists mah but then like really like full families like they got japanese families got like #ang moh# families I think maybe <mandarin>他们都是:ta men dou shi</mandarin> like expats


I take from Khatib lor, ya


but they all from, all can take from Khatib ah


then quite, like very easy to like <mandarin>分他们:fen ta men</mandarin> like you can tell them apart paneling failure terror attack


but <mandarin>他们从:ta men cong</mandarin> like which bus stop take the bus one, interchange Khatib Khatib <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> interchange meh,


[orh] no that one err he's not in my team he's in like <mandarin>另外一个:ling wai yi ge</mandarin> team lah but then recently we join back lor so I managed to talk to him again, actually like on <mandarin>明天:ming tian</mandarin> suppose to be I'm working with him like at night lah but then today like <mandarin>有一个:you yi ge</mandarin> senior


think <mandarin>他请:ta qing</mandarin> urgent leave so err, another senior from my team have to like cover him for today, then because of that tomorrow he cannot do morning shift so err <mandarin>我要:wo yao</mandarin> like err do his morning shift lor then my night I like pass to him so in the end ya I can't work with <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> uncle lor ya shuffle around lah


no choice, tomorrow ya tomorrow morning lor I wanted I wanted to do night cause night <mandarin>比较好玩:bi jiao hao wan</mandarin> lor but then oh well


what, why


[orh] [orh] I was gonna say like who will like <mandarin>选那个:xuan na ge</mandarin> weekend lah if obviously I thought people will like <mandarin>选那个:xuan na ge</mandarin> weekday but then I guess if weekend is like more chill then, makes sense lah


, like very waste


, night shift is I guess in a sense yes even though the number of hours <mandarin>是一样:shi yi yang</mandarin> lah, like both the shift <mandarin>是一样:shi yi yang</mandarin> like the timings, kind of like I think it's eight hours shift


but then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> night shift is like a bit more chill, but the only like err downside is like err <mandarin>你很晚才回家:ni hen wan cai hui jia</mandarin> lor then, have to see whether you can catch the bus, ya <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> lah <mandarin>有有:you you</mandarin> staff transport


but then, eleven forty five so if you cannot make it by then then <mandarin>你要自己找:ni yao zi ji zhao</mandarin> like transport back lor


err I mean call grab or like, will be quite long


, but like not, worth lah, a bit lazy


ya might as well, err <mandarin>不用:bu yong</mandarin> lah it's not even open in the morning what


you only need to talk to your, like coworkers, no lah we are not even open in the morning, but ya oh well


no, then your work is the same as your <mandarin>以前的:yi qian de</mandarin> job lah


it's just the who I'm working for lor but, but <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> your company is smaller lah if it's private


[orh] no matter what <mandarin>都是很大:dou shi hen da</mandarin> lah


[orh] <mandarin>因为他是:yin wei ta shi</mandarin> overseas one ah


!aiya! but I can't wait for the whole thing to be, maybe


people will be like by default like <mandarin>自然会穿:zi ran hui chuan</mandarin> lah, oh ya they they <mandarin>通常会带:tong chang hui dai</mandarin> mask right I always see


weird ya


(hmm) ya maybe ya, but actually <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> dengue <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> mortality rate actually <mandarin>比较高:bi jiao gao</mandarin> I think, if I'm not wrong


for singapore at least lah I don't know about for other countries, ya, true that


but <mandarin>他中的那个:ta zhong de na ge</mandarin> dengue <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> type as in it's the more severe is err what's that I know dengue got like the severe kind and the not severe kind, what


!huh! like amnesia ah


that's quite


scary lah but then is <mandarin>暂时失忆:zan shi shi yi</mandarin> or like its permanent one


okay lah, ah, !wah!


!wah! that's quite scary sia


!wah! that's like <mandarin>好像从新开始:hao xiang cong xin kai shi</mandarin> or like those drama


ya it's like you don't think like it'll be as extreme like in real life but then it's actually the same,


but you already heard of two cases that is like quite, a lot already


, quite scary hor


end of last thurs but never mind, no I can, I want to travel overseas I want to go like to, Okinawa because <mandarin>我听我朋友说:wo ting wo peng you shuo</mandarin> like <mandarin>他们有:ta men you</mandarin> I think the plane tickets they selling for


I think


ya but I don't know whether as in it's like, applicable only like


sure that,


then how how to do both, ya lor, can't do both


ya but I <mandarin>听说:ting shuo</mandarin> melbourne, quite badly hit, don't know leh <mandarin>我有个朋友:wo you ge peng you</mandarin> like, studying abroad there lah I think they still in lock down


if I'm not wrong I don't know it's been awhile since I talked to <mandarin>那个朋友:na ge peng you</mandarin> lor so, Okinawa actually I, no particular thing lah but then like my my lab friends and I like <mandarin>我们有讲过:wo men you jiang guo</mandarin> lah like want to go like after


after graduation but then <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> graduation trip is to hong kong lah that's why but then we said after hong kong <mandarin>要去:yao qu</mandarin> japan lor, but then ya lah then got COVID so after that we didn't really discuss it after that


ya but I think also like <mandarin>会有很多人去:hui you hen duo ren qu</mandarin> lor cause everyone wants to travel is like a bit like, I think will be crowded though, but then on one side you have like the paranoid people and then on the other side you have like <mandarin>那些:na xie</mandarin> like really want to go and travel


so, don't know I don't know whether will be crowded, , no this month we met up for like, quick meal lor


ya but not the whole group lor cause now, now <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> cap cap at err five people right so <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> meeting <mandarin>也是不可以:ye shi bu ke yi</mandarin> like <mandarin>有全部的人:you quan bu de ren</mandarin> lor, so we only have part of our group there


but then quite funny we were like we were like saying let's cause err <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> hong kong group is like four people right so we were saying choose your favourite person from the rest of the people to join us then, just nice like


ya only four of us went out, ya lor, ya,


ya but have to what I mean lab mates like, because <mandarin>你一直跟他们:ni yi zhi gen ta men</mandarin> like like, talk for like over one year, so is like confirm you will have, I guess like some sort of bonds


I mean but also not all the times only like, like every now and then then <mandarin>我们会:wo men hui</mandarin> like [orh] like message once in awhile lah like if it's someone's birthday then <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> will be like [orh], happy birthday or like someone will suggest <mandarin>我们出去:wo men chu qu</mandarin> like like <mandarin>吃:chi</mandarin> like <mandarin>吃饭:chi fan</mandarin> lah like quite like a quick bite or something


but I thought like people currently working together you won't really be close to your, I thought is like more like hi bye kind of things


actually for me not so much because I I, I used to spend so much time at work like, pretty much you you you you <mandarin>你会你会:ni hui ni hui</mandarin>


uh, ya lah I guess like, when you grow older then you also like <mandarin>没有那个:mei you na ge</mandarin> energy or time to like go keep in contact, with everyone


ya, now you want also always like <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> always like busy with work, (hmm)


ya, I think now cause of circuit breaker then like when you meet friends is like


computer games or something, so actually <mandarin>不用:bu yong</mandarin> like <mandarin>面对面:mian dui mian</mandarin> lah then is not too bad like it doesn't take up as much time, so like we started playing like a lot of computer, or like phone games lah <mandarin>你有没有玩过那个:ni you mei you wan guo na ge</mandarin> <mandarin>好像是一个:hao xiang shi yi ge</mandarin> like drawing game


skribbl skribbl ya ya ya, that one quite funny, that one is quite good, ya it's like you can see who is the good artist then <mandarin>谁谁:shui shui</mandarin> like cannot draw for nuts


I think there is another game I think <mandarin>好像叫:hao xiang jiao</mandarin> like fake artist so basically like <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> your whole group right only <mandarin>有一个人:you yi ge ren</mandarin> like he won't know what is the item that the rest of them know then like so everyone will take turns to like draw one stroke lah then


when it's <mandarin>那个人的时候:na ge ren de shi hou</mandarin> then like obviously he won't know what to draw so like he will just like make it up so you can kind of you have to figure out <mandarin>谁是那个:shui shi na ge</mandarin> like, the the the mole lah so to speak, ya like he trying to pretend that he knows then the rest also like cannot <mandarin>画得太明显:hua de tai ming xian</mandarin> lah like you don't want him to catch on


so ya lor it's a bit like you know you remember err that chinese new year then marcus showed us <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> game, is a bit like that but then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> game is speaking you know, is I can't remember but I remember one of the words was penguin


ya, ya <mandarin>要猜:yao cai</mandarin> lor then like, if cannot <mandarin>猜:cai</mandarin> then you lose lor but then if the rest manage to hide it from you then they win


secret hitler [orh] <mandarin>我有听过那个:wo you ting guo na ge</mandarin> board game one, but I, oh ya ya ya ya ya ya I think mind cafes they <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> they got rent <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> board game


ya ya, ya that one same concept right


oh is it <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> ah, , I mean now <mandarin>他们有很多:ta men you hen duo</mandarin> online versions of board games lah


ya not bad lah, I think also got err another game not really game lah <mandarin>好像是一个:hao xiang shi yi ge</mandarin> like karaoke, then is like


but it's a bit, stupid I think cause like one only one person, err <mandarin>可以唱:ke yi chang</mandarin> lah at at any given time, then err the rest the rest of the people like you cannot hear only the person singing that song then everyone <mandarin>可以听到:ke yi ting dao</mandarin> lah


so ya lor it's a bit, I think maybe technology not advanced enough yet to make that kind of app,


ya sia, but then now they close, ya lor ya I think <mandarin>以前有那个:yi qian you na ge</mandarin> got one group of people they went sing to sing karaoke then they all Kena I think I think so like way at the start


before they closed everything lah so like, no lah I mean got a lot of this kind of stupid cases


ya lor, think next time everything will be like


I think people are more wary lah in general


[orh], now, , well, uh ya lah


wait <mandarin>在新加坡:zai xin jia po</mandarin> ah, !huh!, stupid sia, spitting and shouting corona


ya sia, I mean this whole thing just shows like, outside there's a lot of stupid people, but <mandarin>幸好:xing hao</mandarin> singapore still better than other countries lah


, community ah, , quite low single digit


ya I mean better than americans like you ask them wear mask then <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> always like, like <mandarin>闹:nao</mandarin> like make such a big thing out of it


it's really happening, !hais!


ya lor like<mandarin>他们的理由:ta men de li you</mandarin> is like not even, a valid one kind of, it's just for like their own, personal reasons


!hais!,


, lah, today no


ya, , walk the dog,


tomorrow lor, but not that bad


ya lah, it does lor you just have to like <mandarin>淋雨:lin yu</mandarin> lor then get wet, but it's not that that did I tell you like during circuit breaker <mandarin>因为他们有那个:yin wei ta men you na ge</mandarin> safe distancing rules, so our car can only sit last time was


four people, then now became two people <mandarin>因为那个:yin wei na ge</mandarin> safe distancing lor then like so the third person which is me then I've to like, I have to cycle lor, so like if it rains then <mandarin>要淋雨:yao lin yu</mandarin> lor then will be like quite wet


ya that's last time for now is not too bad now like <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> like four people in one, ya something like that


quite funny lah, really


you ride for like <mandarin>超过两个小时:chao guo liang ge xiao shi</mandarin> then <mandarin>你已经:ni yi jing</mandarin> break even Liao, I think the one that we went to <mandarin>叫:jiao</mandarin> go cycling, err ya east coast [orh] so we rode like from east coast to like


Changi no we rode around east coast first then we wanted <mandarin>我要去那个:wo yao qu na ge</mandarin> like gardens by the bay but then <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> close the, close one of the routes lah the don't know what bay route, so then we had to cycle back, but then we cycled to Changi


in the end, so quite quite <mandarin>值得:zhi de</mandarin> lah for like sixteen dollars then you return it you have to return it at <mandarin>它们的另外一个:ta men de ling wai yi ge</mandarin> outlet which is at Changi, or you can choose to return it back east coast park lah


ya but that one is a I think last time that one, is PCN so <mandarin>跟这个不一样:gen zhe ge bu yi yang</mandarin> lor this one is go cycling, ya but same like <mandarin>一样的:yi yang de</mandarin> concept lah


no lah I mean normally can just cycle a lot of people like <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> overnight cycle <mandarin>他们会:ta men hui</mandarin> like, go to all the supper places, and they will eat


I think like <mandarin>很多人去那个:hen duo ren qu na ge</mandarin> Simpang lor, Bedok there, ya or at least like open very late, ya, you should go with #nan en# lor can she cycle


[orh] like <mandarin>她有学过:ta you xue guo</mandarin> but then like she, doesn't she isn't good at it ah


, when she was like <mandarin>还小:hai xiao</mandarin> lah, serious, then teach her how to ride, but is a good life skill


okay lah at least <mandarin>直少:zhi shao</mandarin> can swim lah okay swimming is more I guess, like a life skill, compared to like cycling


that's why, exactly, at least cycling <mandarin>还有那个:hai you na ge</mandarin> tandem bike, , I remember last time when we rode tandem bikes you were right in the, front then <mandarin>我会坐:wo hui zuo</mandarin> like <mandarin>坐在后面:zuo zai hou mian</mandarin> lor


like a free loader, ya can lah next time when the parks are more, open, I mean the parks, I won't say all the routes are like very


accessible now, no, must be like mum and sit at the back, then


just shake leg, yes that's right pedal, okay lah actually I cycle quite, often, when's the last <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> when's the last time you like cycle


ya, [orh] that's, really long ago


cycle, I mean worth it mah like if you have their membership eh <mandarin>我记得我:wo ji de wo</mandarin> paid for <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> stupid I paid for the full price membership when <mandarin>我可以:wo ke yi</mandarin> like get <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> student price one then like in the end they close the stupid obike then never even <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> refund <mandarin>都拿不到:dou na bu dao</mandarin> lor but <mandarin>你的是:ni de shi</mandarin> student <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> like normal price one


!wah! but !wah! six six months is quite, expensive right, it is full price I remember full price like <mandarin>一个月:yi ge yue</mandarin> is like eh not <mandarin>一个月:yi ge yue</mandarin> lah but like it was fifty dollars for


can't I can't remember whether it's for starting up but I remember like, student <mandarin>比较便宜:bi jiao pian yi</mandarin> lor is like <mandarin>十九块:shi jiu kuai</mandarin> so like, should have gotten the student one but I don't know why like they didn't let me put in my promo code then <mandarin>最后:zui hou</mandarin> then <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> like <mandarin>拿到那个:na dao na ge</mandarin> promo lor so just bought the normal one


confirm <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> Liao


oh ya I think <mandarin>你有说过:ni you shuo guo</mandarin> wait wasn't that the bike that you bought for, like <mandarin>一百块:yi bai kuai</mandarin> then like someone like stole it I remember


you only had it for how long like like <mandarin>一个月:yi ge yue</mandarin> or something like that are you serious is it because <mandarin>你没有:ni mei you</mandarin> lock, [orh] the generic kind right


maybe your friend like sold you out sia then you friend sold the lock to someone else, pass code


ya, but <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> park <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> bike <mandarin>在在:zai zai</mandarin> like is it at a place where there's a lot of other bikes


ya those kind of like place to park bikes lah, then <mandarin>只有你的被:zhi you ni de bei</mandarin> stolen ah


ya, should get another bike


[orh] I thought we have what it's at #ma ma# house


outside at the gate there, no


no that wasn't penny board, I'm not good at it, I thought marcus was like the pro one, the one that you are talking about I think <mandarin>应该是:ying gai shi</mandarin> swave, board the one that <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> like <mandarin>摇摇摇摇:yao yao yao yao</mandarin> then you can like move right ya that one is swave board


ya but that one !wow! that's like <mandarin>几年前:ji nian qian</mandarin> sia, I think we still have the swave board in the store, I think <mandarin>我还可以:wo hai ke yi</mandarin> lah but then like probably quite rusty I think


!aiya! probably not lah I think <mandarin>你还会:ni hai hui</mandarin> like <mandarin>记得:ji de</mandarin> the the the how do they call it muscle memory, ya so it's like your legs will still like until now I can I can still remember like


like how I move, but then hor, don't know now quite different, well did I tell you like recently I tried to like use the penny board again even though it's, so long ago <mandarin>因为我要去那个:yin wei wo yao qu na ge</mandarin> it's like a place at bartley so it's like


!wah! it's like <mandarin>很没有用:hen mei you yong</mandarin> lah cause I only can use it on flat grounds cause I don't trust myself to go like on the slopes lah, so downhill !wah! <mandarin>不敢:bu gan</mandarin> sia is like so fast


then ya lor quite fail lah, in the end I end up carrying it for most of the time, ya ya flat surface <mandarin>还可以:hai ke yi</mandarin> lah but then even flat surfaces right they have like the drains so their drains also like it kind of slows me down


ya, but okay lah it was quite fun to use it again, scooter


ha ha, think I got try before one of my, my friend's one ya, is quite


fun I guess, I but like her one was the one that <mandarin>没有没有:mei you mei you</mandarin> seat you know they have those kind of scooter that have the seats, and then like you can like sit on it and then just like move it, stand on it it's like actual scooter but with like


is one not bad, ya, oh no no nothing, electric unicycle ah


[orh] [orh] <mandarin>我有看过:wo you kan guo</mandarin> ya ya ya it's the they they just stand right, and then they just go, that one was like <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> for <mandarin>一段时间:yi duan shi jian</mandarin> like quite popular, hard to balance


ya especially like when you going downhill does it like <mandarin>调:tiao</mandarin> like the speed a not ah, I've also never tried but it looks like quite hard to, move around in, but I want to try that eh it's like what do you do with your hands is like <mandarin>很尴尬:hen gan ga</mandarin> lor like you just like put your hands at your side


but it's actually like <mandarin>蛮:man</mandarin> quiet lah I think like cause I think that time in school also I saw someone


using it then !wah! the person damn fast like, like vroom then he was like gone already like <mandarin>很快:hen kuai</mandarin> lah, can reach your destination so maybe is good cause it's <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> is not as bulky as like bicycles, but<mandarin>它:ta</mandarin> it <mandarin>还是可以:hai shi ke yi</mandarin> like go quite fast


ya, oh no I wanted to say my one of my current like colleague he has a, E bike but <mandarin>是那个:shi na ge</mandarin> LTA approved one lah apparently there's a few


that is like LTA approved, is it actually I can't remember, work lah then sometimes at work instead of the bicycle then <mandarin>我们会用那个:wo men hui yong na ge</mandarin> E bike lor then it's like easier because of workplace !wah! got a lot of


like ups and down, no lor if anything it's like fat because like E bike <mandarin>你都不用:ni dou bu yong</mandarin> pedal is not like an actual bike


, no but that's because <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> like


I think it is sia like all my friends like <mandarin>比较轻:bi jiao qing</mandarin> lor I think, I think


ya lah I mean <mandarin>我相信:wo xiang xin</mandarin> part of it is muscle lah but I think <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> like <mandarin>一部份:yi bu fen</mandarin> confirm <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> fats, I mean I mean I know like I'm not like going for zero percent but I think the fat percentage can drop lah


!aiya! no no, eh <mandarin>你还有用那个:ni hai you yong na ge</mandarin> healthy three six five app mah, the the the step challenge <mandarin>你还在做吗:ni hai zai zuo ma</mandarin> the


I don't know what season it is now you never like, you will have to like log in like once every seven days to log in like as in to record if not <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> data will be like lost


fitness watch <mandarin>也是坏:ye shi huai</mandarin> lor then <mandarin>我用我的:wo yong wo de</mandarin> phone to records steps instead


steps ya but <mandarin>我不懂准不准:wo bu dong zhun bu zhun</mandarin> lah, because I think it's quite different from how the watch, recorded


I don't know which one is accurate


yes lah, but last week last week <mandarin>我每天都有:wo mei tian dou you</mandarin> day shift right then I clock like more than <mandarin>我超过:wo chao guo</mandarin> like


and the heck, ya it's a day shift thing night shift is like I don't even hit like, nine K I think, but then <mandarin>现在我有那个:xian zai wo you na ge</mandarin> you know the AIA there's like AIA vitality


err <mandarin>因为我有:yin wei wo you</mandarin> sign up lah then like apparently is a bit like the healthy three six five


got two hundred and fifty points, so each day that you hit like, ten K steps is worth like fifty point


ah <mandarin>五天你要直少:wu tian ni yao zhi shao</mandarin> like <mandarin>五天有超过:wu tian you chao guo</mandarin> like ten thousand steps, then <mandarin>你才可以:ni cai ke yi</mandarin> like hit that week's target, ya, kind of lah it's a weekly thing, but it's it's quite


it's getting harder because last time <mandarin>以前那个:yi qian na ge</mandarin> target <mandarin>是两百:shi liang bai</mandarin> so <mandarin>两百:liang bai</mandarin> is like what, so it's getting harder I think they <mandarin>他们会调:ta men hui tiao</mandarin> based on like they see your pattern


then is damn crazy obviously that day that I clocked all seven days more than ten K steps they going to increase my target into like, like crazy, !wah! no no no <mandarin>他们还会:ta men hai hui</mandarin> cap <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> ten K lah but then it's like how many days <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> how many days in a week that <mandarin>你要超过:ni yao chao guo</mandarin> ten K


, what that's so tiring you might as well go on flat ground why why will go on staircase, so, so not worth it


ya sia, actually I realise ten K is quite hard to hit, like on a regular basis


, but then <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> everyone like work from home so a bit hard, really


[orh] but eating <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> like move you will move around more than if you had been working from home, !aiya!


but then now <mandarin>每个人都:mei ge ren dou</mandarin> like stay at home lah so a bit hard lah to like actually physically walk cause I don't think I think like even, even if you do exercises right they <mandarin>他们不会:ta men bu hui</mandarin> like <mandarin>算:suan</mandarin> as steps ya so it doesn't really


add to the, total steps lah, ya, ya, but I'm wondering like <mandarin>是不是:shi bu shi</mandarin> like


cause apparently <mandarin>每个月要:mei ge yue yao</mandarin> like pay eight dollars but then uh based on your points right you can get like up to ten dollar vouchers or something but the only reason <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> that I will like continue with this is only because


like <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> insurance like apparently <mandarin>有一个:you yi ge</mandarin> discount lah like if you sign up for their vitality so my agent help me calculate then she said is, worth it for me to sign up for vitality, and then like , sign up for vitality then err <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> insurance plan <mandarin>会有一个:hui you yi ge</mandarin> discount lah so it cancels out in a way


ya like whatever I'm paying for is (um), less than the discount ya, ya, ya


okay I am going to clap now, !huh! you went out with dad where did you all go [orh] <mandarin>哪一个:na yi ge</mandarin> restaurant


duck and porridge <mandarin>分别很大:fen bie hen da</mandarin> leh


oh oh so that explains why I remember last time <mandarin>我们有去那边:wo men you qu na bian</mandarin> and <mandarin>吃:chi</mandarin> the the japanese street the the food over there so which one did you go to in the end


!wah! quite cheap leh


no lah at least sixteen dollars is actually quite a lot already if you think about it err #nan en# and I whenever we go japanese street we always go to the I don't know if you know <mandarin>那边有一个:na bian you yi ge</mandarin> the restaurant by the side


like you can pick your own err ingredients


ya I also cannot remember suddenly <mandarin>它的名字是什么:ta de ming zi shi shen me</mandarin> but then oh you you still remember you go sydney is it this do you think that is actually the same brand


when did you go to sydney when when did you go to sydney I don't even recall


!huh! that's about two more than more than, no wait, ya !wah! okay so maybe they expanded over here or the other way round


ya but at at that so ya what I was trying to say is that that shop is, maybe a little bit more worth it like the the price isn't as high


no no no I think like usually when we go and eat each person is like ten dollars or less, I mean you can go over if you keep adding all the ingredients and you asked for like the very expensive ingredients but then like if you eat normally usually is under ten


ah, ah <mandarin>对对对:dui dui dui</mandarin> you can you can you can ask them to go and <mandarin>加:jia</mandarin> but then err it's just it's it's sort of like, #young tau foo# except that each piece <mandarin>有不同的价钱:you bu tong de jia qian</mandarin> also you can just get different different things and you just add


I don't know I haven't been there in a few months I haven't actually like ever since circuit breaker I think I haven't really, gone over there to eat


!wah! vivo <mandarin>更远:geng yuan</mandarin> it's I don't even I don't even remember when was the last last time I went to vivo but now that every time you go to the nex nex is crowded it's just like, normal, oh


ya eh I I can't remember whether I told you this one I I <mandarin>我要跟你讲:wo yao gen ni jiang</mandarin> like last time, err when err maybe like in the middle of the opening up again, err <mandarin>那时候我还:na shi hou wo hai</mandarin> I went to nex by myself


and then there was this err old #ang moh# guy, he was wearing like you know a red err make america great again cap and just like walking around then <mandarin>你知道你知道:ni zhi dao ni zhi dao</mandarin> that at the entrances they used to have like all the the staff there like


so he was standing there and he was arguing with them say why are you all doing this you are all just err what err blindly following the government the government tell you what to do you just do this is a invasion of privacy why when we have so many dengue cases why didn't you do this


ya and and he he was like quite an elderly


and then he will at the very least he was still wearing a mask lah but then he was very obviously like oh <mandarin>你们:ni men</mandarin> why you all all like parrots of the government and just, only like oh whatever the government say you all just for follow,


no like he just talk two sentences to them and obviously the staff <mandarin>在那边看着看着那个人:zai na bian kan zhe kan zhe na ge ren</mandarin> !huh! err sir what are you saying and then so he he he I think he got fed up after one or two sentences he just wanted to like


he just wanted to like he <mandarin>讲话而已:jiang hua er yi</mandarin> lah he just like <mandarin>讲话:jiang hua</mandarin> then he went off then I just so happen he was like right next to me so I just tell him that [orh] err I tell him like err actually dengue doesn't spread by, people it spreads by mosquitoes


then <mandarin>他他就很他就很生气他就:ta ta jiu hen ta jiu hen sheng qi ta jiu</mandarin> like what the hell are you talking about, then I was like err but it doesn't spread it doesn't spread from people to people that's the big difference with it, !hais!


I am also very surprised but this is the only, one person I've seen at nex that's like that, months ago lah I I I can go and find the date but it was, when people were first starting to come back like <mandarin>那时候:na shi hou</mandarin> then not many people back at nex it was still


uh


august now is no no no no no, no no no no like


when when did you, when did you start being allowed to even come out


I I just lose count all the months start to blur together after awhile, and and in any case like, ya actually I don't remember <mandarin>我也我也不记得:wo ye wo ye bu ji de</mandarin> because like whether I go to work on oh ya ya there was one point of time where I just literally couldn't go to work but now the office like try to implement say like okay if you want you can come back at a certain day or something like that


so <mandarin>其实:qi shi</mandarin> we we will split into <mandarin>两个:liang ge</mandarin> teams lah so err if you are this team then you can come back on this certain day if <mandarin>你是另外一个:ni shi ling wai yi ge</mandarin> team then you can only come back on this other day


so err, depending on <mandarin>你是哪一个:ni shi na yi ge</mandarin> team then you can just come back on whichever day you want lah you have to register we will have to register and you need to say that oh okay like you're coming back but I think the point is that you don't, err


that's the idea which is the whole point behind like separating into teams but, everyone just doesn't go to office because everyone just prefers to work from home, ya at the start I actually went to the office a lot my previous job I just went to the office whenever I could I would apply you know go to office cause there's a lot of work to do and I am not good at working at home


but then like now I think I'm getting more and more used to it so <mandarin>这样子:zhe yang zi</mandarin> lor <mandarin>看着:kan zhe</mandarin> [bah]


I don't think you will have tourists at this point of time


but I can't remember like I don't remember if I told you like, oh you take from err <mandarin>哪一个:na yi ge</mandarin> interchange, I think it was Khatib so, ya because that's like the pretty much the only bus right


ya <mandarin>上次我去坐:shang ci wo qu zuo</mandarin> ah like you can see there's only two groups of people who is taking the bus <mandarin>第一个:di yi ge</mandarin> group <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> all those going to the zoo all wearing sunscreen and all with small kids and being very excited then <mandarin>第二组是:di er zu shi</mandarin> like those going to the cemetery, all holding flowers so


apparently they are it's the same bus so the all these two different so these two very different groups of people are all going onto the same bus at the same time


ya, so I don't know whether like if this if this it is the same bus you are taking <mandarin>如果你的如果你的:ru guo ni de ru guo ni de</mandarin> zoo <mandarin>没有没有给你:mei you mei you gei ni</mandarin> like special bus whether you all you will also get to see this


interchange, , then maybe it's not Khatib I can't remember now, so how's your team I know you said there's the older very very experienced uncle


so you just all shuffle <mandarin>这样子:zhe yang zi</mandarin> just, so you will be out tomorrow morning


ya so that's that's actually something very interesting because, ah ya because you were saying you have <mandarin>你可以选你:ni ke yi xuan ni</mandarin> in a sense that <mandarin>你可以选你做哪一个:ni ke yi xuan ni zuo na yi ge</mandarin> shift lah, so like when I was in army there was, a duty that we have to do you <mandarin>你可以做那个:ni ke yi zuo na ge</mandarin> weekday <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> duty which is that you have to be you have to be in camp anyway it's just that you have to take an extra duty or you could stay back during saturday or sunday when everyone else <mandarin>回家:hui jia</mandarin> you have to stay in camp and <mandarin>你要做那个:ni yao zuo na ge</mandarin> duty


and then there were quite a few people who <mandarin>喜欢做那个:xi huan zuo na ge</mandarin> weekend duty it's just like ya you know what in the weekend I don't want to go out I don't want to meet friends and this was like before COVID before circuit breaker, they're just like [orh] I will just


less hectic but you lose one weekend, that's what I thought also because like <mandarin>我我明白:wo wo ming bai</mandarin> like I I understand why people will <mandarin>会:hui</mandarin> will <mandarin>会选:hui xuan</mandarin> the


the weekend duty because it is a lot less stressful but then at the same time it's one entire day, so


(uh huh)


I think that's quite standard my company my old company also you just pay first and and at the end of the month <mandarin>他们会:ta men hui</mandarin> reimburse <mandarin>给你:gei ni</mandarin> lor


, , is sometimes especially for you <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> worth or not worth <mandarin>的问题:de wen ti</mandarin> is how you going to get back you might as well just bring a tent then stay in in in in in the zoo


ah okay so you are not like a public facing,


so how can we expect more pictures of you feeding lions or things like that,


ya and the things that they ask are also different cause government <mandarin>关心的东西跟:guan xin de dong xi gen</mandarin> company <mandarin>关心的东西:guan xin de dong xi</mandarin> are two different things


no as in, as in <mandarin>两个:liang ge</mandarin> company <mandarin>都是:dou shi</mandarin> private but who do they work with, , so it's like we're like a


that's a very funny question <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> it's a it's a MNC so, the, it's funny because the total number of employees <mandarin>真的是很大:zhen de shi hen da</mandarin> like <mandarin>好像几千个人:hao xiang ji qian ge ren</mandarin> something like that but the number of people in singapore actually <mandarin>其实很少:qi shi hen shao</mandarin> is smaller than my previous company


because the entire company is how many <mandarin>几千个人:ji qian ge ren</mandarin> but then how many people are in singapore how many people are in malaysia how many people are in, and how many people are in singapore the number is actually <mandarin>不不会很大:bu bu hui hen da</mandarin> is actually even smaller than my old company


ya something like that,


maybe it will become, more or less, standard ya, you'll, ya maybe like <mandarin>好像是五十巴仙:hao xiang shi wu shi ba xian</mandarin> something something like that yes is like what taiwan was or japan was before


this whole thing started, as in, if you meet someone on the street and <mandarin>他们有戴:ta men you dai</mandarin> mask you won't find it weird, maybe now it'll be


and then we are all like [orh] okay poor him and then they will just wait for two weeks and he'll come back,


for dengue, I'm not sure also but what I've heard is that there's basically no cure for dengue you just have to wait it out, ya, I I had a I had a colleague who is like


a middle err not say middle age <mandarin>不会不会说很老:bu hui bu hui shuo hen lao</mandarin> lah he's basically in the prime of his life he's very fit <mandarin>他做运动:ta zuo yun dong</mandarin> that kind of thing he got dengue and he was just completely out of it


quite difficult


!huh! this one I'm not sure, eh you want to hear something else that is quite scary, so uh this guy is actually err


and then when he wakes up, he doesn't remember anything, like <mandarin>一:yi</mandarin> like actual <mandarin>好像是:hao xiang shi</mandarin> movie <mandarin>这样子的:zhe yang zi de</mandarin> amnesia so no eh ya I it's it's funny when you talk about it but he literally woke up


he they they they found his err phone number in his phone so they called my colleague <mandarin>因为他是:yin wei ta shi</mandarin> roommate mah so they called my colleague and then my colleague said oh, and blah blah blah blah blah and then explain to him he was like oh why why am I in this country what am I doing here


where we are at and and it was it was really genuinely freaky


most is kind of back already, but ya, but I also know err another colleague was saying her poly err


friend, actually err got that and it was more or less permanent, and, she recovered lah because in the sense that like, you you learn like if it got really so bad that you don't know how to speak you forget language <mandarin>你连讲话都可以不可以讲:ni lian jiang hua dou ke yi bu ke yi jiang</mandarin> you really become like


a baby trapped in like a body of a fifteen eighteen year old, ya and after after she learn how to speak and do all that kinds of like normal things again <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> personality <mandarin>也是完全变了:ye shi wan quan bian le</mandarin> because


because of it's it's literally a different kind of upbringing, and the personality <mandarin>是完全不一样:shi wan quan bu yi yang</mandarin> so it's actually really very scary, something like that, it really it really sounds like <mandarin>好像是那种韩韩剧:hao xiang shi na zhong han han ju</mandarin> or something like that but it's super scary to hear about it in real life


ya, but, that is the only one I've heard lah maybe it's not that common


one permanent and one non permanent so, but even the permanent one, my, ya it's actually quite scary


oh well, but still not as scary as err getting like a a a a deer jumping into the tigers' den or is it lions', eh


in Okinawa, , but


I'm I'm sure like eventually it will get better but it's just a matter of time also


ya, my friend's actually in japan now he's working in japan, and the basically he just said like oh the official government stance is, please go out and err visit all the different parts of japan <mandarin>因为是:yin wei shi</mandarin> because the country is <mandarin>就是那么大:jiu shi na me da</mandarin> you you can stay in there and you can keep visiting all the different parts


so <mandarin>那个政府说:na ge zheng fu shuo</mandarin> like oh please go and visit but at the same time please stay at home, because COVID is very dangerous, that's why that's why people are very confused is like <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> what are you trying to say


can't do both, is it


!wah! that's, , why you want to go Okinawa though, any particular thing


ya that's true


you still keep in contact with lab mates


!wah! that's nice


[orh], ya


otherwise there will lead to some very troubling questions


ya, okay, but good lah at the very least <mandarin>你们还有保持联联系:ni men hai you bao chi lian lian xi</mandarin> like a lot of people just drop out of contact after awhile


you are currently working together and it's very important to bond and people are, I I don't think it's a malicious thing I don't think people are deliberately like !hey! let's not talk to each other anymore but it's just, sometimes it just happens that people don't talk to each other so <mandarin>其实:qi shi</mandarin> ah your friend group actually has <mandarin>那么多人:na me duo ren</mandarin> and still talking to each other that's actually really great


ya ya ya no then that's great that's great


people that you keep talking to when you're working together whether <mandarin>是你的:shi ni de</mandarin> lab lah <mandarin>还是我的:hai shi wo de</mandarin> work lah but after you leave maybe only like five or fewer will keep in close contact with you


I think maybe it's not so much the energy but ya <mandarin>就是那个:jiu shi na ge</mandarin> time because you will move to like you see from maybe <mandarin>从你的:cong ni de</mandarin> lab now you have to make new friends in the zoo and err talk to the your your work group and all that so so then <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> time has to be divided among more people so it's a bit more difficult


but the good thing is <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> now you can at least like message them even if you are very busy you can


send <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> message <mandarin>这样子:zhe yang zi</mandarin> so at the very least you have, even if you<mandarin>你没有真没有真正去见个面去:ni mei you zhen mei you zhen zheng qu jian ge mian qu</mandarin> meet up


scribble, , skribbl dot IO, that one's quite good I


play a lot with a lot of different groups of people it's I really enjoy it


and at the same time the mole is trying to pretend oh ya <mandarin>对对对对对对对就是这样:dui dui dui dui dui dui dui jiu shi zhe yang</mandarin> like that I know I know what is happening


oh I I remember like so everyone knows the word except for one person and that one person has to basically guess the word


that's that's great, I


similar but this err but uh there's this err oh <mandarin>忘记哪一个:wang ji na yi ge</mandarin> website you can actually play the game online, it's the same game


ya, which is actually, it sounds funny but actually it's a lot


it's called what, okay


, no I think is a different thing like karaoke is meant for you to sound bad


, I don't know but I presume that <mandarin>因为他们是用他们就是是用嘴巴的:yin wei ta men shi yong ta men jiu shi shi yong zui ba de</mandarin> mah then you have like your <mandarin>的口水:de kou shui</mandarin> fly everywhere so I think they are


restrictions are lot stricter, is it


back then no one was very clear about what was happening so then <mandarin>还不知道:hai bu zhi dao</mandarin> mah then after, now I think now I think if you ask people eh do you want to go karaoke they will look at you like you Siao


, also quite different for me because err like some of my friends are still doing debate coaching, and then that is I think like one of those things that is classified under speech and vocal so like you have no singing lessons


you have no, be a bit more err cautious lah


ya and I think people will be more, actually no leh I feel that people are becoming more and more <mandarin>怎么讲:zen me jiang</mandarin> complacent


ya now, still I don't think anyone is going to sneeze as in <mandarin>走走到路中间:zou zou dao lu zhong jian</mandarin> and then start to sneeze, then that will be funny


oh do you remember I can't I don't know if if I don't know if I show you, because <mandarin>他去:ta qu</mandarin> in the middle of a public place he spit on the ground and then <mandarin>他又去喊:ta you qu han</mandarin> corona corona


in singapore, then <mandarin>警察抓他:jing cha zhua ta</mandarin> lor, can you imagine like oh why did you go to jail for, it has to be the stupidest reason


you think we are, I think we are all stupid but yes I also <mandarin>我也是同意:wo ye shi tong yi</mandarin> lah I think singapore is doing quite a good job


total, so <mandarin>其实:qi shi</mandarin> is quite low ah the community is now down to, yes


I think, I think like singaporeans in general will <mandarin>会:hui</mandarin> complain lah <mandarin>我们都很喜欢:wo men dou hen xi huan</mandarin> complain but, we will still follow


way before I think in january there was an american


and, it's actually happening


to I I want to stop the circuit breaker <mandarin>因为我的:yin wei wo de</mandarin> business is being hurt, as in <mandarin>可以理解:ke yi li jie</mandarin> lah you can understand why and it's really very difficult


and is a very like the government shouldn't tell me what to do


like oh why why how can you put a law that <mandarin>你怎么可以这样子讲:ni zen me ke yi zhe yang zi jiang</mandarin> that's, that's the only reason, there's still one person in nex but at least he's still following the law so <mandarin>还:hai</mandarin> okay lah


(hmm), did you walk the dog today, oh


maybe you will do it tomorrow


, does that make your job a lot more difficult


[orh]


oh, (hmm) (hmm)


speaking of bikes like haven't ridden a bike in very long time


oh


I haven't really tried overnight cycling <mandarin>很怕:hen pa</mandarin> will just be too tired, and sleepy


oh ya makes sense,


no lah secondary, I think a lot of people have tried and then she's like nope


I think so too but she is more a water person so <mandarin>他会游泳:ta hui you yong</mandarin> lah, kayak uh and things like that, , you can get someone to cycle for you but


but you can't get someone to swim for you , oh ya ya ya


I miss riding tandem bikes with you, yes


, next time <mandarin>你想坐前面:ni xiang zuo qian mian</mandarin> mah, , please


shake leg what do you mean shake leg you need to pedal it, I think


ya that was the last time I cycled once when that <mandarin>他们有那个:ta men you na ge</mandarin> discount <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> !wah! I'll just cycle everywhere


like even a short distance I'll just cycle


same same so I <mandarin>我好像是买那个六个月的那个:wo hao xiang shi mai na ge liu ge yue de na ge</mandarin> plan, I can't remember but I also remember I didn't get a refund


but, ya, it must have been student I don't think I would have paid it if if it was a full price


oh man that sucks, ya


oh did I ever tell you so like when I was in uni I actually wanted to get a bike


I am so annoyed I am still so annoyed by that, less than I think <mandarin>不到不到一个星期:bu dao bu dao yi ge xing qi</mandarin> lor


no the lock I got so the the the the the bicycle <mandarin>他们有一个:ta men you yi ge</mandarin> deal or something like that I can't remember <mandarin>是谁:shi shui</mandarin> but the lock I got it from outside so <mandarin>我自己去买一个:wo zi ji qu mai yi ge</mandarin> lock but I think I got like a very


uh, unreliable lock <mandarin>我不是去买那个:wo bu shi qu mai na ge</mandarin> branded lock or something like that lah cause I was thinking like you know a hundred dollar bike


ya it it was in the bike , ah <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> lor, I don't know lah I don't know whether anyone else's got stolen


I think that one is very rusty I think if you try to kick it will fall apart, I remember you are very good with it and no one else could really match you on that


[orh] <mandarin>对对可能是:dui dui ke neng shi</mandarin> swave board, ah ah ah


yes yes yes <mandarin>就是那个:jiu shi na ge</mandarin> maybe I got it wrong, do you think if you put it out you will still be able to <mandarin>你还你还会你还会做那个:ni hai ni hai hui ni hai hui zuo na ge</mandarin> swave mah


not even the downhill one, uh, at


[orh]


maybe <mandarin>我们两个:wo men liang ge</mandarin> we should go and get the, ya , you get a bigger one lah for for for adults


e-scooter, oh how is it


ya but err yours was the you have to stand on it, ah, I think


sorry you say, remember <mandarin>那时候:na shi hou</mandarin> I think <mandarin>好像是上个礼拜我们去那个:hao xiang shi shang ge li bai wo men qu na ge</mandarin> Bishan park, then <mandarin>我看到:wo kan dao</mandarin> I don't I don't know if you saw <mandarin>有两个人他们牵:you liang ge ren ta men qian</mandarin> the electric unicycle


so it's just, ya, ya but it looks super, unstable


every everyone just ya everyone who is using it, I mean the idea is actually quite cool <mandarin>蛮不错的:man bu cuo de</mandarin> but then when they're using it they just like, like stand very rigid rigid <mandarin>很硬:hen ying</mandarin> and then it just


okay, yes yes there are there are you have to get it approved so that you will


no but you are doing a lot of exercise you know all the past don't know how many months


quite ya <mandarin>你真的是有很:ni zhen de shi you hen</mandarin> a lot of discipline, err Mei I will just say if you gain weight that's that is I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing


is muscle Mei, have you ever seen someone with zero percent body fats <mandarin>真的是真的是吓人:zhen de shi zhen de shi xia ren</mandarin> leh


!aiya! do what makes you happy but really Mei I think I think out of all of us I think you are the fittest can we just put it that way


app <mandarin>还在我的手机上:hai zai wo de shou ji shang</mandarin> but I don't know whether it's recording anything, I I am not wearing the, the watch


oh I I think I I think samsung has that also <mandarin>他们有一个叫:ta men you yi ge jiao</mandarin> samsung health and then it will record the number of steps


I think, I think in this kind of thing <mandarin>不是说准不准:bu shi shuo zhun bu zhun</mandarin> is a <mandarin>大概大概:da gai da gai</mandarin> sort of thing, you can see like when which day you are being very lazy and not moving around and which day <mandarin>你真的是很:ni zhen de shi hen</mandarin> active but don't really think that oh you move


oh, is it a day shift thing


[orh], so it's a <mandarin>好像是:hao xiang shi</mandarin> weekly sort of thing


oh dear, , increase it to <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> now now now you have to hit eleven K


, just just go outside onto the staircase and just, run up and down


exercise, , err


no leh I think it just depends on, what is up, ya


actually, I think, it should not be harder if you are working from home, ya because like, at least like for a lot of people, the idea is <mandarin>你你早上起来你去:ni ni zao shang qi lai ni qu</mandarin> office then actually in office you just stay there the whole day <mandarin>你还没有出去好像你出去吃:ni hai mei you chu qu hao xiang ni chu qu chi</mandarin> or something like that and then you have to come back what all in all actually you don't move around a lot


but usually working from home you are supposed to have <mandarin>更多的时间:geng duo de shi jian</mandarin> you can go and do your own thing so it now it becomes on you, the the ten thousand steps is not [orh] <mandarin>是偶然:shi ou ran</mandarin> it's like <mandarin>偶然:ou ran</mandarin> happen it just so happen that you happen to walk to the M R T now you actually have to go out and do it


that's true


ya that's true, oh well,


!huh!


ya, so you are basically getting a discount on in err on your insurance lah


eh err when you enlisting ah, why leh


enlist but however, hope for the best lah although I'm PES B P, that's right man to serve to lead to excel I'm going to become a next officer ah <mandarin>进来:jin lai</mandarin> confirm Tekan <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> ah


why not eh officer hor <mandarin>我想做:wo xiang zuo</mandarin> officer lah, the I mean the officer is pay is good but <mandarin>有时:you shi</mandarin> hor the training hor very tough


ya lah the pay is high lah but we also need to think ah, there's scholar in MINDEF also leh scholar climb fucking fast, scholar no leh I not scholar lah where got, scholar <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> easy <mandarin>拿的:na de</mandarin> meh <mandarin>如果这样:ru guo zhe yang</mandarin> easy <mandarin>那每个人都拿:na mei ge ren dou na</mandarin> Liao leh


no lah no lah <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> GPA


but see how lor but ultimately I still got two more years mah for enlistment to think and see how it goes but ultimately I believe that


but you I had recently ah I do a job ah the garbage collector


ya fifteen per hour to <mandarin>倒垃圾:dao la ji</mandarin> but but this with CPF but without CPF ah is sixteen per hour


ya lah but I believe that uh government is paying about seventy five percent of it lah the trash company they say pay five dollar per hour only, ya but


, maybe I don't think continue working ah in army but however just some interesting ah that you want to down PES right


so recently ah I met one interesting guy, so he went army right he serve ten months only, he from PES B one <mandarin>掉到:diao dao</mandarin> PES F, okay so right okay when I work with him he he now working as rubbish collector lah


so his mental state everything nice nice normal can run faster than me one but he PES F so what's the story, so the story is, uh once he go in he was mono-intake lah <mandarin>就是有一点:jiu shi you yi dian</mandarin> late <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> intake, so he went in then after that he try to Geng


then after that he went to see and no and act that he got like mental illness and all lah, then after that, ya, ya <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> definitely need to record but <mandarin>他就是不要:ta jiu shi bu yao</mandarin> serve lah he's a PR I believe in singapore


so how he Geng ah he he tell me he no need you no need to act out you just Google research ah then you, type out the symptom, [orh] <mandarin>我今天:wo jin tian</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>睡不着:shui bu zhe</mandarin> what what what what what, ah <mandarin>讲一大堆:jiang yi da dui</mandarin> ah so you he talk and talk then the the doctor say [orh] okay okay then after that uh


okay already ah after many rounds ah then he, PES F already lor, ya so ultimately he serve ten months then now coming out work already lor, ya so he then he still tell me eh you got any next time ah you want to Geng ah you want to down PES ah call me call me


can just come and tell me ah, ya so ya it's something that's why I was surprised you know like !wah! like that also can ah so easy to down PES one, no lah ultimately I want to be an officer


[orh] now I planning to


stay at home sleep eat wake up and maybe do some part time job, !aiya! uh <mandarin>好:hao</mandarin> ah err what's the, payment or the price


ah I see but err so around five to five dollar so quite, ah I see but rubbish collector I think cannot do ah it's damn shag but


but one thing good is that ah okay they count my pay ah <mandarin>从:cong</mandarin> seven to <mandarin>七点:qi dian</mandarin> seven to seven okay


ya plus some more sometime ah the truck ah that come and pick us up ah don't come at eight thirty, sometime <mandarin>九点才来:jiu dian cai lai</mandarin> ah <mandarin>十二点才来:shi er dian cai lai</mandarin> ah so basically I'm sleeping at the wake up [orh] pick up point


I mean <mandarin>我刚才没有做工:wo gang cai mei you zuo gong</mandarin> mah so I <mandarin>很香的我:hen xiang de wo</mandarin> but just now uh but for the rubbish collector right, uh sometime you start start at twelve but however you can end work as early as four as early as six but the reason that <mandarin>我没有做:wo mei you zuo</mandarin> Liao is because


err <mandarin>很难做:hen nan zuo</mandarin> ah because the the let's say you work four hour or, or five hours ah per day


err <mandarin>我倒垃圾:wo dao la ji</mandarin> is around uh east coast landed property, ya there's HDB also ah like HDB <mandarin>就很简单:jiu hen jian dan</mandarin> [orh]


ya our company do does that as well, but however I, always sent to, work lah in the landed so I must go and open the rubbish bin <mandarin>拿那个垃圾出来:na na ge la ji chu lai</mandarin> then run and then throw into the rubbish


oh oh <mandarin>你讲到这个:ni jiang dao zhe ge</mandarin> right speaking of this actually, singaporeans are actually very generous actually, so everyday ah when I work all those landed ah, !wah! I'll get ten dollar ah twenty dollar tip ah, but we still


ya very good very good, so after that they always tip us ah like five dollar ten dollar, and they sometimes give us drinks also like hundred plus one big bottle share


ya actually actually singaporean generally are quite nice <mandarin>蛮不错:man bu cuo</mandarin> but, where where the rubbish bin too heavy ah then we actually


throw the rubbish outside ah then say eh you show attitude is it I will complain <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> ah ah, ya that's why so there's there's


good and bad lah you take and give lor, so here and there lah, ya <mandarin>我吃晚餐:wo chi wan can</mandarin> Liao ah so uh so late already now already like, eleven PM already ah <mandarin>吃晚餐:chi wan can</mandarin> maybe we can go supper later


err, maybe we can have foodpanda, !aiya! okay lah
