oh wasted, okay ah PSP was short-lived also ah, it, it's good good actually I quite surprised the thing err like just die down like I thought it will be a continuation but


I think PS and, say again, ya no it's because the Sony go screw up the, the new series which is the what's that ah PSP Vita, ah Vita Vita, PS Vita that that


part of I mean that that series was like the downfall I feel, then just nice DS came up also then people just I don't know actually I quite surprised why DS became popular, because of like Pokemon and what


, I think, I think the main appeal is just because DS can support the


uh what's Pokemon games people literally buy DS just to play pokemon games, ya even Switch also Switch initially was like ya that's why, ya


animal crossing also quite is quite new what this like this year right ya this year, ya I don't even know why it looks super lame lah to me

!whoa! sick sick, or is it just to garner the support of like I don't, ya hipster, hipster grand dad, that's why every single move they made it's all got uh impact they want to achieve you know

ah, [orh]


[orh], !huh!, how he know, oh


oh cool, ya no pasal dulu orang melayu banyak like the population is a lot

ya but cannot lah, illegal you need a license ah, oh that one actually kena ada license ah dulu dulu when secondary school tak payah aku tahu kau tahu Otaku House


those shark keychain you know, then like , ya ya you can just buy it off like that but after a while right err you need license or something like they don't sell to anybody already


ah, no no sia, david kind


I don't know [ah], he !wah! crazy, for what case you don't know [ah]


ya what's up man


okay, dude I mean, say real I feel like doing factory job really damn <mandarin>无聊:wu liao</mandarin> sia it's, it's one of the most brain dead thing I've ever done, like okay cause I just finished my first night shift what right


then after that like, there there's this err chinese guy, then he is like my like my supervisor ah so I spend the entire time talking to him in chinese


I mean <mandarin>你不可以这样讲:ni bu ke yi zhe yang jiang</mandarin> what like, like the whole reason why I go and do this factory job is because like you know I want to go and get money mah


time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted bro, ya lah, then you eh how's your


ya !aiya! as in I know what you mean but then like, your day shift eh


, I mean, okay but I mean on the bright side like, you know it's like you are learning a lot of new things like yesterday I I got to go and use all of the, all of the extra machines you know, then after that like


but then I had to throw rubbish in the morning ah which, wasn't very fun to do at all and that's why I say that this job is, causes me more trouble than it's worth ah I feel


ya lah,


ya true lah <mandarin>但但是:dan dan shi</mandarin> as in, !wah! fuck <mandarin>他们真是每天早上都需要这样做:ta men zhen shi mei tian zao shang dou xu yao zhe yang zuo</mandarin> leh like every single night shift hor, they


cause , about like three to five thirty we need to go and refill all the drums then after at five thirty we really got rubbish run then I need to go and drag all the rubbish from the various corner of the factory then go and bring it up then after that reach the rubbish dump already I still need to go and err like sort it out you know like <mandarin>那些铁的跟铁的在一起丢:nei xie tie de gen tie de zai yi qi diu</mandarin> then <mandarin>那些用用布做的:nei xie yong yong bu zuo de</mandarin> like <mandarin>一起丢:yi qi diu</mandarin> that kind and then those like can recycle must go and recycle together things like that


you know like all factories must reduce pollution mah


then like err the rubbish the rubbish collector I think ah is also arranged by the government one, so they comfirm want you to do that lor


how to say ah like the rubbish cannot be contaminated like cannot have the waste material cannot have the chemical stuff inside lor so must go and split properly


I mean if I not wrong like singapore's recycling plan like, they will make sure that when your rubbish go to them right, err they will go and separate the paper and plastic, like <mandarin>这这种东西很容易做:zhe zhe zhong dong xi hen rong yi zuo</mandarin> but then metal


casing and metal casing with chemicals that one is <mandarin>比较难:bi jiao nan</mandarin> what cause like metal you can use magnet to separate, but, you will also <mandarin>抓到:zhua dao</mandarin> the magnet with chemicals inside what Tio Bo


[orh]


so the government don't touch eh but actually that's not true [orh] factory also will bring in a lot of money one what


[orh], okay okay then ya like <mandarin>你讲你这样讲的话:ni jiang ni zhe yang jiang de hua</mandarin> like makes more sense lah because it just means that, factories need to like go and <mandarin>照顾他们的:zhao gu ta men de</mandarin> image more lor, but then like all the rich companies like <mandarin>他们不需要管那么多:ta men bu xu yao guan na me duo</mandarin> because


everybody already looks upon them favourably mah like <mandarin>他们都以为哇这些人很有钱:ta men dou yi wei wa zhe xie ren hen you qian</mandarin> ah like like got law firm, very Shiok to work for them things like that


okay that's actually very true, , !wah! but bro night night shift actually


ya ya ya ya ya like, cause like you know like


so it's like I keep doing that then, I need to wear the clean suit everything, and I just sweating inside then I keep on wanting to drink water but then my coworkers right <mandarin>他们一滴水都没有喝的:ta men yi di shui dou mei you he de</mandarin> leh, like


, ya sia they really, true lah but as in no the the biggest thing right is that, like after I finished packing with the china guy like I can see that my hair is wet


but <mandarin>他们的头发完全都没有湿的:ta men de tou fa wan quan dou mei you shi de</mandarin> eh it's like <mandarin>他们完全没有流汗的:ta men wan quan mei you liu han de</mandarin> you know what I mean,


my my okay my area is, then <mandarin>进去的时候:jin qu de shi hou</mandarin> in the set the air conditioned place right it's actually very cold, then err but when I go out to go and pack the stuff


it's err it's not really as cold, then sit and <mandarin>再加上我在做:zai jia shang wo zai zuo</mandarin> like physical labour, so I end up, sweating lor, but it's not like hot per se lah


what, ah ya ya ya <mandarin>也是一样:ye shi yi yang</mandarin> lah like I think I think part of my job is clearing the stuff that your shift leftover one cause I had to move a lot of boxes with safety event labelled on them


then uh, err it's called, production assembly line, think


err no I contribute to the, assembly of the battery by removing the casing from boxes, then I bring the casing to whichever part of the machine needs it lor, then <mandarin>顺便:shun bian</mandarin> like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I'll make some rounds around the factory


and I will go and err, double check, make sure every station got enough metal casing lah make sure every station got enough EL fluid, then


actually hor I don't know why my job suddenly end up need to clear some of your some of your leftovers sia


I mean <mandarin>我们我们的部门专门就是拿那个:wo men wo men de bu men zhuan men jiu shi na na ge</mandarin> casing, but now that you mentioned it it's a bit weird that I'm doing extra stuff other than that lah


me and two other china guys then after that it's like, got one china guy like he just keep on taking out casing only for the high speed line lah


and then , high speed line is like every fifteen minutes need to go and replace, then I was hanging out with another china guy who was, replacing parts for the slow moving one


but somehow we end up doing extra #sai kang# around the place also eh so I don't know ah maybe other people other department not enough manpower lor, ya only three people


because like <mandarin>他们不够人:ta men bu gou ren</mandarin> then some more you keep on plucking out the batteries right is like <mandarin>蛮吃力的:man chi li de</mandarin> then actually one of the china guy he already gonna resign already cause


he say, err, he really he really told me that sia it's actually quite funny


ah


I mean ya ya as it is true cause like, !wah! dude some of the some of the injuries really look damn Rabak, ah


(uh huh), then now eh


oh, I mean <mandarin>讲讲真的:jiang jiang zhen de</mandarin> COVID <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> spread through through batteries one meh


isn't it that's like one of the final steps


okay lor fair lor, oh ya ya ya, ya


, but, do you want to know what the true bright side is


I am, I am a hundred and twenty dollars richer, not one four four mah because like <mandarin>需要还需要扣:xu yao hai xu yao kou</mandarin> CPF <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> what <mandarin>二十巴仙:er shi ba xian</mandarin> one four four <mandarin>二十巴仙:er shi ba xian</mandarin> is about twenty plus plus mah so technically roughly one twenty lor


ya for the CPF lor then, while the I mean technically you can say are earning more also lah cause like


they have to pay extra seventeen percent CPF lor, okay lor then hundred and forty four dollars baby


oh oh wait but dude I really freaking happy sia, like last night I ate like, three meals, in the night shift, and I spent less than five dollars


today go out eat lunch outside right oh god bro <mandarin>我花到十块:wo hua dao shi kuai</mandarin> sia, go outside and buy drink buy waffle also <mandarin>四块:si kuai</mandarin> already <mandarin>四块:si kuai</mandarin> I can buy two meals inside the factory sia


but inside the #bee hoon# like quite meh, like compared to outside #bee hoon# lah outside #bee hoon# really damn sick, but the, I think they had like some #nasi lemak# dish, !wah! that one sedap bro


I did ah I had #bee hoon# lor I err bro I tell you actually like


okay five thirty I go and throw rubbish right, then by six o'clock I essentially #pang kang# already I just tell them okay <mandarin>我真的很饿我要去吃:wo zhen de hen e wo yao qu chi</mandarin> then I just ownself walk the walk to the canteen there go there eat #bee hoon# eat until like six thirty go and change walk out lor


ya lah like say real, !huh!


ya ya ya bro bro mine is exactly like that kind like they go and bring me to some secret places all around the factory then like they tell me


then we just chill there, , then like dude actually one of their favorite things to say to me right is like every time I tell them


sitting on like the the the all the cardboard that we go and stacked up


ya I guess that's the beauty of it ah like last night I think I, AFK sit down there from, about, eight thirty, to like ten thirty like that


go and keep some, go and like stock up some batteries, then, then I go canteen then canteen not open then I just sit in the non open canteen for half an hour then I walked back down then he say


he say like [orh] he not doing anything now so I wait until one AM then one AM I go and eat, one thirty I come back talk then I sit down there until like three AM then restart work again, pretty comfortable life


it's just that, they will say what sorry, (uh huh)


ah


ya ya ya


, army <mandarin>比的:bi de</mandarin> what, army say real lah I feel like army right most of the time the things inside


they don't need you to keep on doing one like you know it's like, it's like that time when I sergeant I also just nothing better to do like get let my men rest then I want to tell them to rest lah but then my sergeant major is like, nothing better to do right go into standby area then after that Bo Pian what need to go and ask them do standby area but


it's a lot of unnecessary things lor, then in factory is just need to hit the numbers need to hit the production quota hit already then just,


oh ya ya ya definitely have definitely have, like a


that's actually very true, my one is really, rush to be productive then we just #gao dim# the productivity cause okay like say we'll we are supplying mah right, so since we supply right


it can only we can only supply so much what not say like I can put the entire warehouse worth of battery casing inside the factory and wait for the machine to go right so you only like, bring in some batches like two batches every half an hour things like that


so as long as we, prepare about say one hours worth of batteries


that's true, eh but will you ever consider doing this like full time because you know you do full time they will give you company transport


ya as in the pay really is damn beautiful, it's just that you know there's like a stigma of it that exist in singapore mah, like you know when you young that time grew up then your parents always tell you ah boy ah <mandarin>你不要给我好好读书以后啊你去做做那种:ni bu yao gei wo hao hao du shu yi hou a ni qu zuo zuo na zhong</mandarin> manual labour ah


you know, then I guess like, there's like this stigma lor nobody wanna do it but actually when you start to do it then you realize like eh actually quite <mandarin>轻松:qing song</mandarin> eh then some more the amount of money you earning is like quite quite Shiok one leh so


hopefully I can finish this three month contract, but, obviously I wanna do it with a friend lah cause, say real it it gets damn Sian during the downtime also, like <mandarin>有时间休息是有时间休息:you shi jian xiu xi shi you shi jian xiu xi</mandarin> lah but


you know it's like you sometimes you want some mental stimulation you know what I mean


bro compartment is one hundred percent manual labour, like I have I have learned from them the art of unboxing really fast, you know like <mandarin>你每次在抖音上你看那些那些视频:ni mei ci zai dou yin shang ni kan nei xie nei xie shi pin</mandarin> ah of all the the workers in china like you know they packed box like they pack like super fast one


ya ya the <mandarin>算钱:suan qian</mandarin> one they just use all five fingers one right


ya how how do they even see that lah, I I I think it's really impressive, but okay you know you know like our company right we got factory in japan then got factory in china right, you


err simply because like our output is a lot higher, cause the china factories have is have ah but bro they all rely on manpower only their factory is not automated at all, they all just use those super speed workers to do one but like no matter how fast with super speed you also cannot do it faster than a machine what


ya but they don't have the actual machine itself which is a bit weird lah I don't know why they don't do it also


uh oh wait wait wait no no no, there is another reason cause err, some parts of the world they see made in china they a bit Buay Song at the goods they see made in singapore they feel a bit more Shiok, so that's why they go and put the production plant in singapore lor


just to, ya, I mean okay like next time if you want to do business you also need to consider heavily mah where your things come from cause say real like okay fine it may be cheaper to outsource your physical work to malaysia outsource it to india or china or whatever right but sometimes depending on like


the market that you are targeting, the people that want to buy your products they not as into it so you Bo Pian you need to say made in singapore, the flip side is if you make it in singapore right you can say oh cause we provide this quality


we can charge you a premium for it lor


ya, I I think the issue is not the ethnicity of the people who are making it but


the laws regarding it cause in china there is, a lot of people they will source for the raw materials in a unorthodox way or the most cost efficient way mah


then this generates a lot of like bad press it generates a lot of bad publicity and worst case it compromises quality lor singapore does not have that singapore got the strict laws so, I think that's what makes people comfortable lor like


ya ya, ya lor ya lor so his stuff like this ah


bro, err yesterday right during one of my breaks I was looking at uh, reading some business reports right then they were talking about miniso and how miniso exploded in terms of popularity, err


I think we start our factory, after we get some capital bro


ya their branding they purposely go and aim the japanese one the CEO said that oh ya <mandarin>我常常去日本:wo chang chang qu ri ben</mandarin> then <mandarin>然后:ran hou</mandarin> I draw a lot of inspiration from the japanese but to me that just screams like excuses for copying their


their, err what's that word lah, not just their aesthetics their marketing err, strategy is that what you call it


bro there's a reason why the logo looks japanese because it literally uses japanese characters bro


ya lah <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> copy <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lor but then, just saying ah like, china's laws are so lax that, things like this can easily happen, it's actually insane lah like, they just ripped it off they miniso is like facing ten IP lawsuits


and they got a lot of err things that they need to clarify with their finances before they can do more rapid progression, but, I mean such is the case of business nowadays mah like


and nothing is out of bounds lor, like you see they just copy the japan's err formula then they just get the tencent, you know the the china internet provider they just get tencent to sponsor a few bill into them then they just explode it's insane and not sponsored lah but it's like <mandarin>投资:tou zi</mandarin> lor like they just invest


they go for the wooden kind of flooring you know this kind of thing, it's like say real is like all those <mandarin>冒牌冒牌玩具:mao pai mao pai wan ju</mandarin> what like


the character is green but they don't call it the incredible hulk they call it, the powerful man something like that, , uniqlo is japanese like, it it was huge


ya lor so that's why ah, then like, say real you want to say aesthetics right can, like you know spotify they got go and


what's that word ah they went to, copyright their exact shading of green I think razer also got do this, then err, you can do that, for


for the design layout of your store also, but all it takes is just one chinese guy to say <mandarin>好你要:hao ni yao</mandarin> copyright <mandarin>是吗我就换一点换一点:shi ma wo jiu huan yi dian huan yi dian</mandarin> like, the customers they are not going to be able to discern the difference what to them green is green who cares if it's like one or two tones off by a bit you know what I mean


they just buy into it ah, so it's like


a lot of countries they also do that like err russia, err european countries they will but the difference is


so, what they basically do is they let the other companies do the market, err what's that word ah market


, ya market research market education, cause market education is honestly like the most expensive, expensive phase you know like educating the public about your product and everything then they just okay, swoop in and then after that they just go and cut it


then cause they can produce everything so much cheaper what, so they win based on price point lor, then since then because their their country itself right more lax about all these kind of laws, like for example maybe in japan they wouldn't go and they wouldn't go and invest heavily in err what they perceived to be a rip off company but then in china they like !wah! <mandarin>不错好主意我来投资:bu cuo hao zhu yi wo lai tou zi</mandarin> you know


so actually this is a bit of a problem that I'm facing with my current business err, with my current business also like, I feel that, my market needs to be educated, but the thing is I'm a, excuse me I'm a small startup if I'm a small start up right <mandarin>我哪里有钱前来:wo na li you qian qian lai</mandarin> educate the public sia


then what if by the time I finish marketing right some other giant that already has money they are like, nice looks like the market all knows about this product let me swoop in fast, and go and like


adjust adjust my current factory lines to be able to produce these goods, then they just come in and steal my market


ya ya it's unique to you


, , ya so when you tell me that you want to keep our business right


(uh huh), when we need to start our factory ah I would say, can start anytime [orh], but just be prepared first few companies is flipped one lah


, , ya bro like people say hard work in twenty twenty is dead no bro hard work is still alive baby, through us


I mean, say real this is


extremely pertinent to the life of an artist what, it's made up by the okay lah


maybe it's a bit, err how should I say ah maybe it's a bit, cynical of me to dismiss it as all PR nonsense, but you cannot deny the fact that PR plays a large part in it


you got see gerald Lantos joker you really think he got sent his cast members all these kind of <mandarin>怪怪东西:guai guai dong xi</mandarin> meh


then you know, sorry never what


and this is why you are not going to be the PR for the company bro it will be all me cause I know how to do it


ya, ah, , as in wait wait


no as in okay see the thing is right, , be doing PR doesn't necessarily mean you have to lie, you just need to make sure that the bad stuff does not get out lah and you play up to good stuff <mandarin>不是讲:bu shi jiang</mandarin> IU <mandarin>不完美不是讲他什么好事都没有做:bu wan mei bu shi jiang ta shen me hao shi dou mei you zuo</mandarin> you know what I mean it's just that <mandarin>他做了坏事:ta zuo le huai shi</mandarin> like you know maybe on a bad day like you know she <mandarin>发脾气:fa pi qi</mandarin> or this kind of thing they just don't talk about it ah


or you know if she accidentally <mandarin>侮辱人:wu ru ren</mandarin> just don't make it into the news lor, so it's not a lie per se it's not that she is not a good person, it's just that, they cultivate her image in that way lor


you, okay I can tell you when PR feels like a lie very obvious one when it comes from companies like tencent lor


and , certain, certain err, okay lah like within the K pop scene right there are certain groups


that you know that they confirm putting up news just to put them in good light only, cause, okay say real ah like <mandarin>以前的时候以前以前的市场:yi qian de shi hou yi qian yi qian de shi chang</mandarin> like <mandarin>很容易:hen rong yi</mandarin> because all of the information come from the media mah


like, it's not very easy to get expose, but nowadays right it's so easy because of how much interaction idols have with their fans, they stream so often they walk around in public everybody has a camera in their pocket can <mandarin>随时:sui shi</mandarin> go and film them it becomes very hard to keep all the shady stuff under wraps lor


, , yes


ya lah but <mandarin>这种东西你没有证据:zhe zhong dong xi ni mei you zheng ju</mandarin> what <mandarin>你没有证据你不可以:ni mei you zheng ju ni bu ke yi</mandarin> like, go and blame them and say that it's fake you know what I mean some of it might be real but some of it is clout chasing ah I guess, and I don't know why maybe it's because their PR is successful


as in, I don't know whether is it cause K pop PR works, but, err okay let's go and look at the singapore market ah look at singapore influencers malaysian influencers


err actually on that note american influencers also like you can see that their engagement is, false


(uh huh), ya ya


they, okay that's very true and then I guess okay sounds a bit morbid, but I guess this is why explains


why korean artists appear to be going through so much extra stress lor, as compared to artists in other countries you know what I mean


err, what T O P


Xiong, Seungri problem is a lot bigger than just drugs bro, true


yes, ya lor, I think, it's a bit of a fact that you have to admit ah not that I condone drug abuse or taking advantage of people, of women especially but


at the end of the day you cannot you cannot always put idols on the pedestal and think that, they are perfect in every single thing that they do they are still humans what they confirm will do stuff, like


does it mean I'm being fake to them not really lah it's just that I don't want to play dota with them lor


(uh huh), (uh huh), ah


(hmm) actually


[orh] okay okay okay okay ya I get what you mean I get what you mean, okay that's true


is it her PR do a good job or she really so good


like okay lah like if okay even if you don't talk about idols okay you talk about streamers


you look at streamers selling out, by marketing games that you know that you know uh that they confirm don't like one but Bo Pian cause, it's like you see how much money the the, the advertisers are like dangling in front of them


would you, it's like if you were in such a situation lah <mandarin>你会拒绝:ni hui ju jue</mandarin> meh, like, I ran out I go and tell you, #gan chin# impact, ya lah but let's say right now #gan chin# impact


say, they pay you twenty thousand dollars for a single ten minute video campaign that you can easily do by, taking clips of your stream, you will not do meh


confirm will do what even if you are against the concept of loot boxes or Gacha games or rolling for your favourite characters you know what I'm saying


oh wait I think I think gambling is a bit different cause gambling is quite clear cut got #dai ji# one and will come with negative image but for slightly questionable stuff like loot boxes eh, for questionable companies like, maybe maybe EA cause EA is notorious for


you know like robbing people of money


I got see some of them, ah


true but okay share the things right, do you only know this because the youtuber because you got watch that youtuber, like in the specific example that you quoted ah


oh, ya ya ya red shadow legends


uh


ya, ya, true, but my counter to you is that <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> right advertising company <mandarin>他们很聪明:ta men hen cong ming</mandarin> what they do is they not only just err


get the youtuber to promote it during their stream, but


use that as actual ads to insert into other people's like search algorithm or this kind of thing, so even if that youtuber himself right let's say he got hundred K viewers he led hundred K viewers know that meh I think this game sucks you all wanna play just play for me lor


help a brother out but then the ads that are run by the company itself will hit like one million two million people who never watch that youtuber and, no meh


oh ya


the fact that, their face and their likeness is used in the mass marketing, err effort to, further the cause of the game lor I mean I think I think that this is known as like blitzing the market lah you know I think like right now secretlab they are blitzing the market also


ya lor, and like surround the, consumers with so much material, that, even if they were to be


I call it


like say real ah advertisement advertisement cost a lot of money what and, if you have enough money to go and saturate the market like that not not saturate the market with products but saturate the market the the the the the like <mandarin>他们的头脑:ta men de tou nao</mandarin> you saturate the their their brains


with it info with a good, feels of your product then they are likely to buy from you mah, ya ya ya bids


ya if every single music video all this kind of nonsense right


, they are quite mad, ya you know what's the saddest thing bro


I own two pairs of beats headphone and I do not like either of them


then err, err, the back to school, apple promotion, free beats headphones with every laptop purchase


so I buy the laptop and I got the headphones lor, it's not that it doesn't work well like it works pretty well the sound is decent it's just that, I will never use in singapore because it makes my ears sweat Kumpua hot


then also not a Shiok feeling to have that thing around your neck mah, if I were in if I were living in like some cold country right I can potentially think of ways where


I could use the headphones as like a ear muff or like a neck warmer you know like walk around the streets !wah! Heng ah got my beats to protect my ears


since when do people do that I I got see videos of that lah but, what's the context ah I I never got it


(uh huh), [orh], (hmm) why [ah]


K clapping, hello, okay I think it's good now


okay how's your factory job


ya, I mean like okay do you think it's more brain dead than sitting at home and just


watching youtube


as in ya lah but you are saying that, when you working in the factory it's very <mandarin>无聊:wu liao</mandarin> what, then I'm asking you like, when you watch youtube at home not you <mandarin>无聊:wu liao</mandarin> meh


I mean that's true lah but I mean like in the sense that, like you're not using your brain you know what I mean


I mean it's the same ah it's really just, I feel like I'm not using my brain but like, it's quite active lah to be honest, like sometimes you still need to


I mean all jobs at the start also confirm just do #sai kang# one what, I mean you imagine you are like the boss, then of course you ask him to do all the stupid task lah


like, they ask me to split up all the wood and all the plastic, actually all singaporean companies like that or is it just, cause they are japanese and they care about this kind of things more


I mean that's quite unfair lah like, my insurance job, got a lot of paper and plastic and everything but also just throw everything together, ya lah but they don't do it lah


no, your your <mandarin>公司:gong si</mandarin> got, separate paper and plastic one meh


ya lah confirm that one the chemical that one definitely needs to have regulations ah like


if not people just anyhow throw away what, but I'm talking about like the wood and the, the cardboard and the plastics, like, I'm saying it's not fair that they make the factories do it but


like all those huge ass companies, that produced a lot of paper waste


Buay steady, then


ya lah I don't think it's about money eh I think it's just, factories just have the like people think factories produced a lot of waste so they just, have the image that, factories need to do this kind of thing ah but people


I mean that's true also lah but what I was saying was that


the <mandarin>政府:zheng fu</mandarin> is the one that, want to uphold their image so they make all these regulations like oh we make


ya that's what I was talking about, dude you do you get thirsty at work


in the in my place


they really, then I see like when they go lunch they will drink like three cups of water


actually my place is quite cold lah so <mandarin>我也是没有流汗:wo ye shi mei you liu han</mandarin> but I don't know about your area, it was


when you touching the machines that time like is it, need to do a lot of physical stuff or not, it's mine is like you need to keep poking all the parts then you look everywhere legit need to keep walking around


you know when you fix it when you fixing the machines like mine is like you need to walk in circles to look at like all the parts of the machine, you


wait what's your what's your department called again, wait so you assemble the battery together


ya cause mine is actually like, one part of the battery ah


if you don't deal with making batteries I don't see why, you will see my stuff


(ppc), wait you mean your whole department only got three people yesterday


dude that's impossible for my department lah, it's really like got thirty over machines then if, one person no way he can take care of ten machines ah


, the the the china guy in my place also tell me he want to quit


but, actually it's quite cool cause because of COVID right


if let's say got one part stuck you will use your finger go and poke it, but actually because of COVID now we use like sticks, then that actually solve like safety issues also ah cause


anything happen you just use the stick lah like, press button everything use stick then when you deal with the machine like got a part stuck you use a stick, cause they don't want like


COVID to spread, ya, I mean, as a manufacturer <mandarin>如果讲我有:ru guo jiang wo you</mandarin> COVID <mandarin>我动那个:wo dong na ge</mandarin> battery <mandarin>不是整个新加坡:bu shi zheng ge xin jia po</mandarin> people that buy battery Tio


I don't know how long the COVID thing can last on the battery lah but


that's true lah but, don't make sense also what, like the government rules, like the <mandarin>五个人:wu ge ren</mandarin> on the same table


and anyway now the cases is like need almost zero already the local cases


what, what bright side


wait not one four four meh, [orh]


actually do people, when people normally talk about their salary they talk about it before CPF right


most <mandarin>新加坡人:xin jia po ren</mandarin> will will count before CPF, that's the standard lah


ways


ya the cheap is the the food is legit damn cheap lah


wait you say got one guy say <mandarin>那个米粉:na ge mi fen</mandarin> wait <mandarin>那个早餐:na ge zao can</mandarin> in the factory damn sick, did you eat breakfast in the factory


ya actually, whether your job is hard or not, a lot depends on


some <mandarin>老板:lao ban</mandarin> is like <mandarin>没有东西做他们会找东西给你做:mei you dong xi zuo ta men hui zhao dong xi gei ni zuo</mandarin> but some is like


that's nice


I mean, when you are paid hourly, it's just <mandarin>不急:bu ji</mandarin> one lor, you just want to, pass time ah


okay mine is a bit different but actually I don't think it's a bad work culture eh cause it's like, although they will say like


well as in mine is like, so basically we have a quota to hit everyday, then after we hit the quota is relax one lah, so everyone will just, like at the start of the shift


just work very hard lor, try to finish the quota as soon as possible lah cause they know that, when they finish the boss not gonna ask them like find weird things for them to do what, but then, some places is like like when I was in navy they know that


if like people <mandarin>看你:kan ni</mandarin> not doing anything <mandarin>看你休息休息很久:kan ni xiu xi xiu xi hen jiu</mandarin> then, they will <mandarin>不爽:bu shuang</mandarin> ah, so basically what we did was we just, drag out everything then like, try to <mandarin>假假:jia jia</mandarin> do stuff for very long you know


like you do a simple stuff do for damn long just to show other department that you are working kind of thing then it's like, it's not that good also ah


I mean it's not just a army thing ah but that's the only example I have ah like, you always hear a lot of outside companies, you hear this kind of story what and I'm sure even in this factory there's like, some <mandarin>老板:lao ban</mandarin> that <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> that <mandarin>好:hao</mandarin> one lor


then, ya, then because they always want their people to like


ya so it kind of like backfires ah


ya it's the same ah it's same same culture in my area just, I mean not <mandarin>回家:hui jia</mandarin> lah but


#pang kang# you know just sit one corner relax, ya it's a better work culture ah


actually the more I think about it, it's actually not that bad lah like, I mean people have, people think factory job is quite shitty but, the pay not bad what considering that, we didn't need to have a degree to come in but the pay is still like


three K plus I think it's quite solid


ya I I know what you mean mental stimulation


ya lah but, I mean, it's actually not really manual labour lah I feel for what I'm doing, like, most of the work is done by the machine lah, then


I will say we are like operators lor, we just poke the machine when he not doing well


ya then they <mandarin>那个中国女人:na ge zhong guo nv ren</mandarin> she <mandarin>算钱:suan qian</mandarin> she can tell like which one is the fake notes then you see she just damn fast then suddenly she just throw out one note then it's like a fake note


dude damn sick, I don't know, ya actually I


I I I was wondering why they open in singapore sia


I mean they also have engineers there that can take care of machines what


err the machine our machine also come from japan one what, cheaper than <mandarin>放在这里:fang zai zhe li</mandarin> what actually


but I never thought of that eh actually


ya makes sense lah, I guess the singapore, like <mandarin>人家看到:ren jia kan dao</mandarin> made in singapore they feel like, but actually


I don't think it's true lah I mean in the end inside of this factory also ninety percent <mandarin>中国人:zhong guo ren</mandarin> most of the people that are making the batteries might as well make in china also end up the same thing lah


that's true ah


ya actually singapore really got a lot of regulations ah like, I think


the reason why china goods not good is also cause, like you can cut a lot of corners like, there's a lot of safety check all this kind of thing, in china, there's probably no one that actually checks but you see singapore is like


all the, the machines are actually checked by like MOM to see whether it's safe or not, ya interesting


so when we go open our own factory


wait miniso is the japanese mini mart thing right, !wah! that means their branding is very good lah I mean


the the aesthetic ah, I, I mean, the reason why I think it's japanese is cause


just doesn't look like a, like a china thing ah


[orh] ya lah ya lah and I mean even the english one looks like a very like it has a smiley face and is, I don't know just I don't associate that with china but


wait actually <mandarin>我不明白为什么:wo bu ming bai wei shen me</mandarin> put japanese words then cannot, why why would you get sued for putting japanese words in your name


but you would


, !wah! I didn't know that uniqlo is japanese eh, ya I just, I just search for it then and ya their logo is exactly the same


ya, but actually, it's quite interesting how <mandarin>只有中国人:zhi you zhong guo ren</mandarin> will do this kind of thing like, I'm not saying <mandarin>不是讲中国人很坏:bu shi jiang zhong guo ren hen huai</mandarin> or


this kind of like


like market research is it


ya I know what you mean lah


ya that's why a lot of like businessman, in at the end of the day anyone can steal your idea like they can make your products they can, copy your logo your branding your image


but <mandarin>故事是不可以偷的:gu shi shi bu ke yi tou de</mandarin> what if like, ya like, you know like how, okay I can't really think of an example right now but like, like maybe elon musk <mandarin>他的故事:ta de gu shi</mandarin> is like very inspiring


everyone knows him as like, super hardworking guy very likable work harder than his workers this kind of thing then, you you can't copy that in your brand you know it's like the person itself is the branding then


the story


that's how we made our fortune and our story


actually what do you think of the idea that


like, the the stories about you are more important than what you actually have


!wah! actually I, I I never thought of sorry ah I never thought of PR as like, writing stories for the, like I never thought of the PR as like


writing a story for your client you know, I never thought of it that way like <mandarin>我每次想:wo mei ci xiang</mandarin> PR <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> like, help you protect your image that's all


ya but it's just interesting, the PR actually place a super big part of, actually I always tell vivian like you know there's always like reports of like K pop artists doing this doing that, then I always tell her !wah!


she always say !wah! IU very nice she did this, then I will <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> ya her PR agent super good, you know what I mean like, like everyone thinks IU is this this this this this and


I just, like <mandarin>完美:wan mei</mandarin> lor


I mean I, I agree with that but like


when do you feel like, PR is a lie, I mean there's some you know some events is like, everything is staged like you know


but sometimes it's like even the streams and


like show that <mandarin>你有关心:ni you guan xin</mandarin> for <mandarin>这个人:zhe ge ren</mandarin> like you know how that other K pop artist died then it's like, all the K pop artists will post some kind of instagram post saying, !wah! err !wah! I remember working with this person then


I'm very sad, then like, but sometimes <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> PR PR, I mean <mandarin>我觉得那个是:wo jue de na ge shi</mandarin> just straight up lying ah


I mean I'm not blaming them that is fake but like, I'm just saying that, yes it's true that it's not a lie like


me doing good things, wait who


okay lah but the thing about K pop is


you know like when you signed a K pop contract the they really have full control of your life one like, whatever they want to show to the public and whatever they want to hide is like very easy but, if you are singaporean actor or like some american actor


the there's no company that, like okay let's compare like american singers lah the company doesn't really control like, that much of your life


then, in K pop it's like everything is so controlled there's no free time <mandarin>你不可以跟这个人出去跟那个人出去:ni bu ke yi gen zhe ge ren chu qu gen na ge ren chu qu</mandarin> must stay single, like <mandarin>很多规矩:hen duo gui ju</mandarin> lor so


that's it's not that other PR are not good, it's just that, korean companies have so much control that their PR can do so much for their, like the the singers lah


ya, but at the end of the day they I'm sure they still do this kind of weird things one lah, like you know the what was the that big bang guy, the big bang guy doing drugs


no no no no no the Seungri Seungri or something, ya lah but I'm saying that, it just shows that these people do weird things behind the scenes one


they just don't do it at home they do it like if in the company's office or something where


I mean but it's like the image you know, like, when <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> company


portray <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> image as very good, like I mean like say good guy or something, or like play a lot of sports or something, or like for IU is like very friendly happy, like childish kind


not like that in real life lah, as in I'm saying like, let's say your image <mandarin>你打:ni da</mandarin> dota but it still fits within your image mah


at least <mandarin>你没有:ni mei you</mandarin> act like [orh], err people that play games err very bad or something and then but behind the scenes <mandarin>你打:ni da</mandarin> dota


ya so it's like people that act very nice but actually behind the scenes they are not nice then that's the one that I feel like, it's lying lor


I mean that's why I always tell, I always say her PR is very good, because, of course as a as a public person you won't know


but like, the fact that I don't know means that her PR did a good job lor, I mean at the end of the day you need to


do what your PR tells you to do well lah like, and you need to do it at like all points of your life lah it's damn hard to be a idol ah, but, ya lah her her and her PR, do a good job in portraying that image lor


ya lah I I know lah but, I'm not saying it's wrong to portray a good image I mean, I'm just saying that


I


I mean some people actually have a very strong opinion about that ah like, I know streamers that, just reject, certain companies


like especially gambling companies because, gambling companies actually earn a lot so they pay a lot like six digits then this guy just say no no no, I don't support gambling so I'll never put this on my, page lor


I mean, actually <mandarin>你有看过那些:ni you kan guo nei xie</mandarin> youtubers that like, but then like I give hints that, actually I don't really believe in this that much


actually, they will say what the, the advertiser ask them to say lah, ya then after that they will add on some stuff like [orh] but I don't actually use it and


that's just a sponsored post and, things like that, if you don't want to buy don't buy or if you cannot afford don't don't buy kind of thing, wait who who you talking about


I I forgot who it was already but, some really like drop very subtle hints but some is like they just straight up say


it's like you know the what's that called ah, that that mobile game the red shadow legends, ya <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> so basically the the youtuber will get paid if, let's say I <mandarin>玩:wan</mandarin> the <mandarin>游戏:you xi</mandarin> I <mandarin>玩到:wan dao</mandarin> like level twenty


then the youtuber will get some kind of bonus, kind of thing you know that's like


it's very obvious that ya they're advertising just for the money and they don't actually believe in the the the thing


no lah, I mean I was saying no to like they don't straight up say


actually it's very true there's actually a lot of different marketing tactics I never thought about, this one but I always see I I <mandarin>我我知道你在讲什么啦我有看过那些:wo wo zhi dao ni zai jiang shen me la wo you kan guo nei xie</mandarin> video where like


it's just, influencer over influencer just talking about this thing and like they saying good things only lah they never, show like the full videos of <mandarin>这些人讲什么:zhe xie ren jiang shen me</mandarin> they just show like, [orh] <mandarin>这个人:zhe ge ren</mandarin> use this this <mandarin>这个人:zhe ge ren</mandarin> use my chair <mandarin>这个人:zhe ge ren</mandarin> use my chair


then they all very happy kind of thing


ya it's just what do you call that ah, product placements ah


as in like you know the the beats, I remember beats


ya beats lor you remember beats or not


they are the headphone shit it was really like, like it during that


like those kind of paparazzi photos of, the celebrities they always have a beats like on their over their neck, but actually, beats is like quite bad lah, like in the ya they are quite okay I won't say bad lah for the price is quite


bad quality lor, what


wait so you got the first one <mandarin>是你买的:shi ni mai de</mandarin> and then the second one <mandarin>是免费送的:shi mian fei song de</mandarin> lah I assume, okay, wait <mandarin>谁送你:shei song ni</mandarin> beats


I mean ya lah singapore is not really a headphone, friendly country, it's so hot


, but actually I never understood like, why would you wear headphones over like earphones


no I I mean like in general like to listen to music like in public I know when you play games you wear headphones because, like the headphones will tell you when sounds are coming from behind or in front, but, but earphones cannot do that but for like other music eh why were you ever wear


headphones like


okay how your day today


hello, how was your day today, yes, really why


it's a don't ask don't tell kind of situation because like, you know if you don't say anything then no one will know what you are doing


ya it <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> like take very long


!aiya! still okay lah it's not so that expensive if you buy at the shop it's twenty four dollars


because I stalked you before


, oh <mandarin>我喜欢用那个:wo xi huan yong na ge</mandarin> Sephora <mandarin>因为它:yin wei ta</mandarin> they got a lot of brands


like ranging from luxury to like normal prices so I think that Sephora is a very good choice lah


then what you eat for dinner what did you eat for dinner today,


I had like steak for dinner tonight, no lah when I went to Aston's, but that's


that's breakfast not dinner


eh uh please don't <mandarin>骗人:pian ren</mandarin> lah please, err <mandarin>我今天上了学:wo jin tian shang le xue</mandarin> <mandarin>今天有:jin tian you</mandarin> uh general paper


literature <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> history


study math is it


so I you just like laze at home and study lah


[orh] today I went to school then <mandarin>我去做工:wo qu zuo gong</mandarin> I teach tuition, so I went to teach my student and then I taught I teach her english, and today was a very smooth lesson because her mum was at home


so like , the mom make sure that she was doing work <mandarin>所以今天还还算蛮顺顺利的:suo yi jin tian hai hai suan man shun shun li de</mandarin> [bah], why you always so scared


why are you scared of university


!aiya! <mandarin>新加坡最近很热:xin jia po zui jin hen re</mandarin> mah <mandarin>有那个:you na ge</mandarin> climate change


!aiya! I bought from overseas mah so it's cheaper


I mean you can you know save up to buy it, I'm into, I mean I like to cook and I like to sew you know like embroidery and stuff, I mean I like to buy clothes


that's my hobby you know but like lately I've been trying to cut down because , it's not good for the environment and I'm trying to save up to like for rainy days, I think it's very important for us to like be more aware of what's going on in our society and the world


I don't think it's okay lah because like, I mean if you when you're paying for the phone you technically pay for the charger and the earpiece right


so if you don't pay for the charger and earpiece isn't it like, like you will lose money you know what I mean, and it's like one thousand plus so it's still considered right is a quite expensive for a phone


yes, I mean I guess I can just like not get a new phone because I don't think that, it's necessary to keep changing my phone every two years like because phones are objects that you cannot get rid of like you don't decompose easily


so like I'll probably only, change my phone if I really need to change it but other than that I don't think I'll change it also because of the price and, I find it very inconvenient to keep changing phones because I like to keep like all my memories on one phone


, ya like I've seen like the iPhone twelve and how it looks like


I mean I think it looks quite similar to the older generation you know like the like the second newest one, I mean maybe the chip is like it changes here and there but at the end of the day I'm not like a, technology Guru


(mmhmm)


personally like I use my phone more than my laptop because like I feel that laptop like it can be a bit heavy and like, it's a bit #zhor deng# and you know it's big and bulky, when I have to carry in my bag it's very very heavy lah, so I rather have like I rather invest more in my phone because it's like actually a device that I can use everyday


and it's something that I use constantly around the clock, like actually right to be honest I probably use my phone like much more than my laptop like I would use my laptop for schoolwork and, like maybe now as a student I you know I need my laptop but, eventually maybe next I won't need it as much so I think that I would rather invest in my phone


I mean I'm like I like reading and stuff so like you know I prefer physical reading so, I mean some people like to use iPads and to you know do like Audible and stuff but I don't think that that's something that I'm really interested in so, investing in tablets iPads or like a laptop is something that I'm probably not interested in


I know


I mean I mean you have told me before that you know you want like a smart home kind of thing, like ya lah you walk home and the lights automatically on but don't you think it's very scary if our whole house is just like, a smart home like it's not really a home per se like I feel that we are like gradually being controlled by robots because like


you can just step then the lights turn on or we get on the bed and then something happens, means our life is very clockwork because like when when we when we go home you know what's gonna happen


I mean to a certain degree I do envy them because like such technology really makes life much more convenient but, at the same time it also makes us much lazier and I don't want technology to be like, err like uh I mean technology we cannot deny that it's a huge part of our life


if not at the end of the day we will really be too like reliant on technology that what if one day, power plant fail and then we have no more electricity then how you gonna survive


you know I think that we should be able to we should not rely on like technology but we should work with technology, like turning on the lights I think it's a very simple task you can do it by yourself


I mean I personally <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> lah, like I want a house that is homey like it's warm like I mean and what you say you don't think it still is overrated lah but, I think that a house is like my sanctuary when I have like have hard day at work or whatever


at the end of the day I go home to my house lah and I mean I want my house to be, what I stand for and to be what comfort me the most like, when I go home I see my favourite picture I see my dog I've see my husband and then I'm like oh okay like this is making me happy or like


my bed even like small things like bedsheets like if if the design that makes you happy or like calms you down then I think that, it's really good because like, you know that's what makes me feel good at end of the day you don't want to go home and then like, at work it's already filled with technology like laptop and then you come back home and there's even more technology


ya but I mean


everyone has like a different version of what they want their house to be like, I know some of my friends who like like they are taking small steps to making their home a smart home like, like you know Google home like one of my friend has Google home lah and then


he will like be like oh Google home please search this or like Google home can you play this song and I mean I think it's quite convenient and, it makes life much easier but then it makes us lazier and I think that like simple things like, putting on the phone and then pressing the song you're trying to play is like a five five second task and you should be able to do it ourselves


I mean probably not like probably won't click that much so I guess


you know then we have to move on to another discussion which is marriage you know like, you know they say opposites attract but I think that if you are too opposite then it's gonna clash


(mmhmm), I mean, when you marry someone each everybody has to compromise and then like no one person can have like their way or like hundred percent it goes their way lah


so I think like it's important for like any partners to like sit down together and then even if they have differing opinions right, they should make it a point to like merge it together in a sense and then like, maybe like certain aspects of their house can adhere to person A and then like another aspect of their house can adhere to person B


so that you know it doesn't clash but they're living in like in a nice controlled environment where everyone gets to like show their opinions


yes, okay uh then what's your opinion on like to the whole you know compromising issue


so what if your wife is not a technologically adept person and then she's like, I want to live in the mountains with no electricity and I want to kill cows and like let chicken lay egg


but you just said that you want a smart home


do you think that it, do you


okay speaking on that so do you think that you will be single or what like what do you want to be married in the future like what do you feel about, like raising a family in today's society especially in singapore


then it's like the visit to the gynaecologist and then you have to get ready for the baby and it's probably gonna add up to about more than about twenty K


I mean I do appreciate that the government is like trying to help out like it's really really good that they are helping out especially with the plans that they gave during COVID like, each person get six hundred dollars and ya, when speaking about like KTV's and stuff


like I recently read an article and it really touched me so, basically it's about how the owners of Teo Heng , which used to like fire their employees, even though like they are doing really badly and it had to give up like two of their shops especially like their first shop at Katong shopping centre lah


so I think it's really heartwarming to see like really nice owners and bosses like them who are willing to like sacrifice and, make sure that their employees are like well-fed and like surviving well lah, and they like gave up their shops just to be able to feed them and they literally like pay their employee their full pay


and contribute their CPF and I think that it's really heartwarming especially after reading about how many like unscrupulous business like, certain malls are like taking government subsidies but yet they refuse to lower the rent for their tenants which I think that it's very despicable lah


so what do you think about this whole COVID situation


ya anyway speaking of SARS right so I recently found out that you know Polar the shop that sells puffs and cakes right, you know they've been around for like since, before world war two and I find it very fascinating because I always thought that Polar was just like a normal like


Old Chang Kee kind of stall, then I read this article and it's really quite interesting ah like, I think they only shut down once like in their like ninety over years of operation and it's really damn interesting


because like they were open during world war two and everyone was like, fight like hiding from their lives and, I think like it really showed showed like shows like how singaporean brands are really like very awesome lah like, even though right like a very small country like our businesses you know most of them are


they've been around singapore for a very long time, and they are really dedicated to making sure that their staff are like treated well, but I mean their like unscrupulous businesses like , those beauty salons at like certain areas like I recently read where they like scam elderly people because some of them are like maybe a bit


like they are more trusting so they believe anything a person says lah, and then like because of that they get dragged to all these business like this salon parlours and stuff, and then, in the end they get charged like two thousand dollars or like even up to four thousand dollars for like oil bumps removal and I think that that's very despicable lah


like <mandarin>他们是老人:ta men shi lao ren</mandarin> eh <mandarin>为什么要做到这个地步:wei shen me yao zuo dao zhe ge di bu</mandarin> like, stooping down to like that kind of level ya


actually no I don't know what it stands for, no, but from what I know a Mercedes does not dominate the air


when


then, ya it's a singapore homegrown brand


actually right another fun fact you know Volkswagen was actually also created during the nazi times and


Volkswagen was designed to be like a car that every like german could afford and then, basically like they worked and then they collected stamps and all like coins or whatever and then they will use it to redeem like a Volkswagen ah


like <mandarin>他们可以做到今天:ta men ke yi zuo dao jin tian</mandarin> eh then like, you know like it already evolved a lot since like world war two till today like, like the Volkswagen like you know they still like have, almost similar styles to when it came out during the nazi times


really why but actually now right you know just now I was talking about like like being like environmentally conscious right, a lot of people are giving up straws or replacing plastic straws with metal straw so, I mean in a sense straws, are good and bad


, I don't know though but actually a lot of people are coming out to say that you know straws are not necessary in our life but I mean, for example like singaporeans asians we love bubble tea without straws it will make drinking bubble tea much harder or like, how a elderly who have like a disability that they can't drink or eat properly and they rely on straws


so I think maybe in this aspect straws are good but then you have to think about how, straws are commonly associated with plastic and then plastic are used to make straws , and then this plastic straws take thousands of years or I don't think they even decompose


because it's unrealistic for every single like chain like fast food chain or restaurants to produce like, metal straws or wood wooden straws because you think about it the cost of producing those straws are like, many many times higher than producing a single pack of


plastic straws so I mean, at end of the day we have mouths you can use them to drink


but ya I suppose he'll be very rich because like I mean, not gonna lie like even though I say that I try to be like environmentally conscious like I did try to replace plastic straws with metal straws lah, then I felt that it was very inconvenient because I have to like constantly wash them like


if I were to drink several different drinks throughout the day right, but compared to like a plastic straw I could just drink it once and then I throw it away and I don't have to bother about it anymore, so I mean after awhile I kind of gave up or like, I'll just use a platsic straw and I know it's really bad but I mean


I will try to remind myself not to use plastic straws or like you know there are, like handles carriers for your bubble tea now, and I think that's like a really good alternative to a plastic bag because I think it works as well as a plastic bag and, you don't really have to worry much about it besides the fact that it'll get a little wet but it's not that wet because


you can just let it dry out for awhile and I think that it's a really really good invention ah and you know it comes in many types of prints like, I have one which is like a shiba print and my teacher gave it to me, and I don't really use it because as I said like I mean I try to be conscious about the environment but at end of the day


I I mean for me I'm a sucker for convenience and I always go back to things that make my life much more convenient, how about you


that chair


really but then when I when I have a meal with you you always complain about !aiya! why they never give cap ah, why they never give straw ah is like very difficult because like especially as you said KFC then it's like, you have to like use your oily hands to pick up the


the cup and then like it's very disgusting lah I mean when I went out with you you said that so I don't understand why you are talking about how you don't use a straw when I mean, a lot of people do use a straw and you use the straw, and I know for a fact that you are not environmentally friendly because you always take a lot of plastic bag


!aiya! <mandarin>我们都是好朋友:wo men dou shi hao peng you</mandarin> mah why must like you know do until like this lah


oh there are like rubber straws nowadays also which I think is a very good alternative but then, you know there are certain products which use rubber and then you know like it's not that great for the environment because it's like, it cannot decompose


use spoon, I mean maybe the future generations can use spoon but at the end this kind of time, phones are made up of plastic also


like what kind of spoon, you know you can buy like those Bento kits and it come with like spoon and forks and stuff


ya but that's the point I was talking about like how it's inconvenient


anyways I can see that you have a lot of mask hanging in your background so, you know like how do you feel about having to use mask so often now


personally I also prefer using the disposable kind lah because like it's much easier to breathe through and then, like for me I feel that, it works better than a cloth mask because like I think like some people said that the black ones were not as effective lah, then but at the same time you know it's cheaper to have a fabric mask and


actually some people were suggesting that we shouldn't, like when we throw away our disposable mask we should cut the strings because like turtles can get stuck in between the strings, so I think, that ya lor like, the mask you know it makes our life much more troublesome but at the same time it protects everyone and it protects ourself


from, getting COVID and, I think that you know even though it's really troublesome it's our personal responsibility as part of society to continue wearing the mask lah


personally I think that mask will probably be like a part of our lives for a very very long time, and I mean it wouldn't be another five more years before people will feel comfortable wearing without wearing mask out lah, but personally right I hate wearing mask because like


it's very very hot and, I'm a girl so I suffer from maskne I don't know if you do suffer from maskne so basically I break out on my chin because of wearing the mask the entire day and the bacteria gets caught in, you know areas and, I mean if I were given a choice I probably wouldn't wear a mask but I understand that it's important to protect everyone around us and make sure that everyone is okay


ya, I mean <mandarin>因为我们都已经习惯了:yin wei wo men dou yi jing xi guan le</mandarin> like I mean if you are used to something <mandarin>你不可以突然就:ni bu ke yi tu ran jiu</mandarin> !aiya! <mandarin>不要做了:bu yao zuo le</mandarin> mah,


<mandarin>我只划我的:wo zhi hua wo de</mandarin> eye brows <mandarin>还有我的:hai you wo de</mandarin> eyeliner then


I think it's quite cool lah but then like if you wanna take off your mask it looks a bit strange


, you seem like a karen right now, but it's understandable


okay, I mean honestly like there are like alternatives like there are like mask holders you can like use that


and I'm a bit boomer lah but I do know that , you know that they do provide certain like bags which you can carry when you're running like a fanny pack, and you know it


it helps you to keep your mask inside there


ya understand where you're coming from lah


you might think that you are handsome but then like the rest of the world might not think you are handsome lah, I mean uh personally I probably prefer you wearing a mask I mean <mandarin>是我本人觉得的:shi wo ben ren jue de de</mandarin> lah I mean , ya


I know because my eyes are very pretty mah then you want to focus on my eye


oh I'm probably gonna like do some I have a project work to do with my friends I'll probably do that, uh, and then on sunday I'm meeting up with a friend, you know to, take some pictures nah just my friend


you know when we're very good friends we just wanna take some pictures at the museum how about you


you are just meeting her to eat on suday is it, you just meeting her to eat, , but,


but I spoke to your girlfriend and then she said that you all were gonna go like you know take pictures at the museum one sunday, I mean we are friends for ah, I mean the, singapore is so small


singapore is so small, (mmhmm), I mean he's too handsome ah more handsome than you so ya, so it's quite low key


ya you know what's the most the funniest thing my boyfriend's name is, it sounds similar to andy Lau'S name, but the face and the voice oh better than his man


it was a nice conversation with you today, coffee


so <mandarin>再见:zai jian</mandarin> bye bye, bye bye


yes, me, I can say my day today is quite shit, ya, I <mandarin>做错东西:zuo cuo dong xi</mandarin> I don't know whether should I confess or not


but <mandarin>我听我:wo ting wo</mandarin> but I heard from my friends that, I don't know leh they ask me, don't know whether I should I should tell or not, some of my friends tell me to be tactical and, and not to not to


not to <mandarin>讲出来:jiang chu lai</mandarin> ah but, my other friend tell me to do it, so that's why I'm


but if I, but if I <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> I scared later, I'll be into deep trouble leh but if I don't <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> hor, realise then it will be in more deep shit


both are also in deep shit then how, oh well


uh <mandarin>多少钱:duo shao qian</mandarin> ah


thirteen dollar, so expensive, [orh]


!huh!, but I find that it's quite good lah, but other than that, I would recommend <mandarin>我会介绍给别的:wo hui jie shao gei bie de</mandarin> but


LV all the way to Innisfree


that's the difference between, that's the difference between the price ranges


really, I think okay lah Innisfree is good lah but I hope


Sephora ah, but I see Sephora like a lot of different product leh don't know which one is the, best for my for my <mandarin>护肤:hu fu</mandarin> for my <mandarin>皮肤:pi fu</mandarin> sorry sorry


I don't know leh I don't really like the smell because the smell is really very, very strong, then, especially my family ah <mandarin>全部:quan bu</mandarin> ah, the <mandarin>鼻子:bi zi</mandarin> ah all got problem one, so


I don't know, whether using it, will affect, will affect me you know


me, err I I eat uh


I eat home cooked food, because because nothing beats, your mum making, the food


!wah! so Atas ah, !wah! high class, I only get to eat hash brown and fried sausage with egg, on the rice


dinner Liao, plus Maggi Mee


I mean <mandarin>人老:ren lao</mandarin> Liao, then will start to drop one, it's just a matter of time


no <mandarin>我还没在我没有当兵我在等着读大学你不要乱乱话:wo hai mei zai wo mei you dang bing wo zai deng zhe du da xue ni bu yao luan luan hua</mandarin> don't anyhow say okay


no no no no no no no no


okay lah <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> lor


ya <mandarin>我今天有读:wo jin tian you du</mandarin> ah I did study something ah, , ya to prepare myself for university [orh]


, ya laze at home, do some math, then play some games, before starting this


but I damn scared leh, I mean I'm scared of university ah not say scared now, (hmm)


!wah!, don't know why ah but the


!hannor! but okay lah, !wah! you still have Nintendo switch ah so Atas


but, [orh], how I wish I can buy a Nintendo switch, what are you into


I thought I thought girls like to buy clothes, and go shopping, what are you trying to become ah environmentalist


so let's say <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> ah <mandarin>有你看:you ni kan</mandarin> ah <mandarin>那个新的:na ge xin de</mandarin> iPhone twelve ah, it doesn't come with charger and, and the head and the earpiece eh


do you think it's okay


(mmhmm), oh, but you want to be environmentalist eh


hello


but in the past people, !wah! but <mandarin>对我来说:dui wo lai shuo</mandarin> ah in the past ah I'll change my phone one eh, because I love phones I love electronics, no, but now okay already ah I also same concept as you


but just that, just that I'm not really a environmentalist ah, to me is, prolong you will start to feel that


I mean it has come to a point that, processors, no matter how you improve, you can you can really, barely see the difference ah


so ya lah


eh but you know ah you know ha the new iphone twelve ah look like the old iPhone five like that leh oh my god, but okay lah


[orh] as for Macbook ah, I mean Macbook, if I have the, budget I will change lah, because, that's because in the


computer industry ah laptop industry wise ah, processors will continue to evolve, and the difference will confirm you can see the difference one is not like iPhone or it's not like phone


so it's like, because especially when more more apps, like Photoshop Adobe ah gets improve ah, confirm need a lot of like


err what to say ah, a lot of power behind it lah to, to to power <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> apps lor, so as you can't possibly use and, you know last time you know the intel pentium to


to run this kind of apps right, so as time goes confirm you will see the difference one, then also, ya lah, some more, as times go by right


then err, numbers right numbers like memories ah rams ah will confirm increase one ah so ya lah, to me is I will invest in Macbook more than laptop more than phones ah


you leh


ya lah but no lah I mean you are you don't really like, you are more into business kind lah so this kind of video editing things, doesn't really, bat your eye ah, so ya lah


, but


but next time ah, if I, I have my own house right I will, kind of transform my house into that you know the kind of like


house ah, instead of what yours you ah in ah those uh, what cute cute lah comfortable comfortable ah, I want like, I want like <mandarin>以后我的家:yi hou wo de jia</mandarin> ha imagine imagine this


walk inside the house, the lights automatically on the aircon automatically on, your phone don't even need to use wire to charge it charge automatic through, true err


wireless space, isn't that good


but I mean <mandarin>你有你有看电影的:ni you ni you kan dian ying de</mandarin> what, if you see like you know the incredibles two ah, don't you like sort of like envy or even, wish to be to have houses like those


so like that if that's the case then do you think, then what is your preference on, your dream, house


[orh], so that's your preferred house ah


!wah! like that, !wah! you imagine both of us ah our preference ah add together I wonder how does it turn out to be how will it turn out to be


brother, but, K lor so


so let's say ah, if ah, your husband wants a different kind of, house theme than you


then what would you do


then you never ask me, hello, then you never ask me


for me ah I'm a just a simple man, to me is as long as my wife is happy I am happy


!wow!, sure I mean, I don't mind that kind of life ah, actually I also want to experience it


but also said that, as long as my wife is happy I also happy, so I can say that, if I'm single


technology theme based, but if I have a wife then of course, I hope she can, she can she can, she can she can sort of like like my type lah if not just follow what she loves it she love lor


I mean, especially right now there's COVID ah, trying to, earn a very stable, , a stable solid salary is


out of my reach lah but, I mean I'm just a student ah, but based on my analysis ah, err , just look at, just look at everywhere lah and see pubs ah KTV ah or even


or even industry like aerospace ah all are taking a hit ah so ya lah, it's quite, bad ah for the economy so, I don't know whether is it a good time to start a family or is it a good time to


to to raise a child, I mean, the government try to help, by, giving out three thousand dollar, to have a baby lah


but I don't think it's efficient enough to, what about you


err, to me ah it's very, Rabak ah it's very, it's very uh very <mandarin>凄惨:qi can</mandarin> [orh] see families, get uh


uh adults, it's higher than most, most uh in the and the most, uh as compared to


as compared to last year or even, or even many years lah so ya lah, but, I but as what based on the government predict ah


four years might be able to, to recover what was lost, to recover back a little bit lah don't say what all lah but, to me is as long as there's a cure to this


COVID there's a vaccine ah, then I think, things will gradually start to go back to normal lah, I mean, just feel bad for like you know the Teo Heng one the KTV


closed down so many shops already then now still only, it's able to


K lah kind of bad lah because it's singapore homegrown company what, homegrown brand brand what so it's like, ya lah, it's sad but, things, will


turn around ah, if they if they push through lah ya this, bad, times yes I mean they have gone through so many bad times already SARS lah, err still got what


a lot lah can't remember but one of them was SARS lah, ya


I mean there's a lot of blending with a lot of different with a lot of old uh, historic, err, how to say ah, I mean


just look at those car brand, do you know that the Mercedes, logo, you do you know what does it stands for, do you know why is like three three arrow


it stands for to dominate the air the land at the sea, the Mercedes did dominate the air


when, I think it's like, during the nazi period, because Mercedes is, germany based, then during that time you know world war two Hitler came and went


if I'm not wrong, I think Hitler, did ask Mercedes to make him a car, or something like that, and even the planes were used, but I don't know lah something like this lah but that's how that's what


the, Mercedes logo stands for lor, ya so many different many different logo got many different brand got its own <mandarin>历史:li shi</mandarin> ah, so I mean, Polar was one thing ah but I don't know whether is it Polar is Polar singapore based


oh that's no then that's quite kind of a surprise, I also didn't know, but ya lah


but I mean ah !wah!, I mean, things are being invented, in the future, in order to invent something really must make a person to squeeze squeeze the mind lor


but I heard ah, from my professor ah, that uh you know what's the best thing that has ever created by a by a by a person


the invention of straws


ya but, but just don't get it wouldn't straws plus wooden straw paper straw, all also froms all also from the, what is it call ah the concept of straws ah


so imagine this person ah, patent the, patent this straw concept right, I think right now it's even richer than bill gates


uh


but I mean you really get, get the idea what so let's say you say you see you see, err, elderlies in hospital needs straw, drinking bubble tea also need straw so let's say if this guy ah that invented straw ah


have, have he had patent that, that concept of straw right, just look at how rich he will be


me, to me I'll try not to use a straw lah but, if need be then yes lah but you mean like now at Pepsi and Coke, I mean KFC and Mcdonald's they also don't use straw if they don't use straw then I don't use straw lor I mean ah it's not like I cannot drink


using the cup right I don't know how to drink right, but ya lah , of course straw will makes up make life more easy ah but, like you say ah environment wise what so ya lah I don't want my future


my kids, to live in a world of, rubbish dump like oh like the movie wall E, where <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> err, abandon <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> earth


it's I mean the movie is sad lah but you get the idea, so ya lah, err, I mean, it's not just <mandarin>小孩子肥:xiao hai zi fei</mandarin> eh did you watch the movie wall E <mandarin>连大人都肥:lian da ren dou fei</mandarin> leh


they can't even <mandarin>走路:zou lu</mandarin> don't even know what is <mandarin>走路:zou lu</mandarin> eh all they have been is sitting on that, on that don't know automated chair that guides them all the way until they die, it's like so pathetic sia, so <mandarin>可怜:ke lian</mandarin> eh give me ah I also don't want ah


I rather walk, sit, so ya lah !ee! <mandarin>瘦到水草:shou dao shui cao</mandarin> [orh], ya all I can say is if they give me they will they give [orh] but if they don't give then I won't I won't ask for it lah


but ya lah, I mean there will be other ways other than straw one ah in the future


why not you use spoon, spoon also can what, ya


I guess so but there are also better spoon not just plastic spoon, like what


then I might as well bring my own house, metal spoon


I mean there's there's a good and bad of reusable and disposable lah, usable is that, you can keep using [orh] you can save the environment ah, but at the same time it's very hard to breathe through ah because it's fabric


not like the you know the disposable surgical mask, it's like you can breathe through, but its non-environmental lah, for me is, I will see how lor


depends on which situation <mandarin>我就会用哪一个口罩:wo jiu hui yong na yi ge kou zhao</mandarin> lah but ya lah, I mean, there are website that sells like, sixty dollar plus


reusable mask, but I still don't believe that it will be much more better than the visible the disposable ones, in terms of, the breathing


wise


oh I see, but I mean , I don't know, do you think do you think mask will start to be like a, thing, like something like


become like a daily stuff, like something that you cannot, go without, just like your shirt like that


can I can, can I ask for your opinion ah


then what's the what's the point if if sure but if you give me your choice ah to not wear mask ah, I can tell you as long as when there's a vaccine for us ah


when, when <mandarin>给我们:gei wo men</mandarin> Liao ah I can assure you <mandarin>我一定不会穿:wo yi ding bu hui chuan</mandarin> mask Liao, because mask is really very #gao wei#, !wah! really, !oi! no I'm not a karen


I I just, because you know, it's very easily hard to breathe, especially when I go running I don't know where to put the mask, I have to carry carry it imagine you have to carry it around then I run run run then I sweat then the sweat go go to the mask there


but don't you feel very #gao wei#


so, I guess, small pin <mandarin>在你的裤子:zai ni de ku zi</mandarin> hor than just use it as a hanger to hang <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> mask <mandarin>在你旁边:zai ni pang bian</mandarin> but


I mean it's also not very hygienic and because as you run you know, bacterias are all around, your surrounding what so, some point, bacteria will stick, to your mask one what


so ya lah, I should say, mask gots it's got it's good and bad lah


there's that hope, at some point you can don't need to wear mask, so I can show off my handsome face, to , to the world


ya I I also think you I prefer you wearing the mask, ya lah, same as me ah


so ya lor but okay lah, what are you gonna do tomorrow, !wah! you look so busy ah


who your boyfriend, so busy, !wah! I think tomorrow I'll just sleep at home, actually cannot tomorrow I got something on I need to do some charity stuff


then sunday I will go and meet my girlfriend, two eat, meet, ya, before I, go back, to study


on monday, what, eat and meet ah and play lah, and go Kai-Kai ah go Kai-Kai, go buy her LV by her Chanel


ah like that lor, if not he she will ditch me ah, no, no no ring no marriage


that's what she say, eh how you know my girlfriend, I never introduce you eh how you know, stalker stalk my Instagram


!huh!, singapore is so small, but I never see your boyfriend before eh, I heard I heard I heard your boyfriend looks somewhat like the #liu de hua# andy Lau


what, [orh] I I see, okay lah


I mean, so, same, hope, uh at some point, let's meet up and


have a, have a have a brunch or dinner, ya, so that's it, anything, okay okay bye bye


I start, ah, ya <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> ah <mandarin>刚才那个:gang cai na ge</mandarin> conversation everything is all


pause <mandarin>也:ye</mandarin> okay what


I thought, thought you wanted to, put them to the east side you know


no but our plan is to, move to the east side one day what isn't it,


[orh] <mandarin>很久没有跟你:hen jiu mei you gen ni</mandarin> FaceTime Liao [orh], then <mandarin>你在那边玩你的手机有点多玩我手机打我的:ni zai na bian wan ni de shou ji you dian duo wan wo shou ji da wo de</mandarin> monster hunter


then <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> position <mandarin>就一样的:jiu yi yang de</mandarin> lor <mandarin>这样躺着的:zhe yang tang zhe de</mandarin> lor


, it's not, it's not difficult what think about it


ya and, ray and jean ah


no lah, ya <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> market value ray told me the other time the, was about they bought it about two hundred then <mandarin>他们卖的时候有四百:ta men mai de shi hou you si bai</mandarin> lor


ya I don't know which location lah but he say lor four hundred ya so after you sell the money the proceeding will go to your CPF mah so <mandarin>他们用那个:ta men yong na ge</mandarin> CPF <mandarin>那边跟他还:na bian gen ta hai</mandarin> lor, then, private


private HDB ah still got to fork out a few thousand ray told me before the the after minus <mandarin>他们两个的:ta men liang ge de</mandarin> CPF minus <mandarin>他的工作那边的:ta de gong zuo na bian de</mandarin> monthly contribution


ya, but, but the thing is what ray told me was it's a ninety nine years eh, and the eh the the private, is about twenty year old already so still seventy year


so sort of betting that either will en bloc the area because quite a small development, number two is <mandarin>他们住几年再卖:ta men zhu ji nian zai mai</mandarin> lor <mandarin>再买:zai mai</mandarin> lor, you get what I mean


ya they won't stay the full thirty year one ah, he told me before what, then <mandarin>如果他们住了三十年:ru guo ta men zhu le san shi nian</mandarin> ah <mandarin>讲说住到他的:jiang shuo zhu dao ta de</mandarin> payment <mandarin>完:wan</mandarin> hor


#bo hua# because you don't know what's gonna happen with all the HDB rule number one, if whatever happens that aid, uh if they don't, do anything about it en bloc right then you will end up you have to your flat is the is something like a depreciating asset leh if they don't buy anything or whatsoever government <mandarin>没有讲什么:mei you jiang shen me</mandarin> hor then people will be scared then your price will fall


, okay lah


[orh]


then <mandarin>少不要这样不要管他:shao bu yao zhe yang bu yao guan ta</mandarin> lah, , then <mandarin>他又问我什么:ta you wen wo shen me</mandarin> hi why YQ <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> you're talking about YQ and chloe right


ya <mandarin>还问我:hai wen wo</mandarin> YQ <mandarin>有没有驾车:you mei you jia che</mandarin> how I know, like as if I go and pay attention to them, ya


, I don't know how you see lah but you can try to see lah ya


ya, #chen long# which #chen long#


ya, different country lah maybe some country can lah but not our country lah


(hmm)


!aiya! it's okay lah I mean what they what they talk about, cover the face take the base lor


, then <mandarin>算了等一下我才:suan le deng yi xia wo cai</mandarin> show <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> lah, [orh] then ray was also sharing with me, uhh <mandarin>你不觉得蒽蒽学校很贵:ni bu jue de en en xue xiao hen gui</mandarin> meh <mandarin>我就讲:wo jiu jiang</mandarin> okay lah


, effort to look and do all these things is even greater than, the amount I save then in my mind I also thinking


it's a normal family car


as good <mandarin>算起来应该是一千二:suan qi lai ying gai shi yi qian er</mandarin> lah for the housing, that is about two thousand already lor it's also not cheap lah, so


like <mandarin>我跟你讲过的:wo gen ni jiang guo de</mandarin> lor, right


ya lah <mandarin>两千四:liang qian si</mandarin> is the, promotion price leh, !ee!, I'm thinking I'm counting the non promotion price leh because the promotion end one day what


it's about, three thousand, per month, it's, uh <mandarin>那天我在我自己:na tian wo zai wo zi ji</mandarin> I was counting when you asleep I was counting how much, in total to to to, Gong them till they are five year old in the


preschool, [orh] say preschool nursery and K one K two <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> lah


!aiya! I'm not inclined to change lah I'm just telling you the cost, initially I was still thinking, how can it be one million dollar it's quite a lot leh


actually now that you have the numbers and figures ah, it can actually cost up to that much eh, it's almost like a one hundred thousand dollars, for the first six years of their life eh


solely on school fees, that's for one child, then imagine those who go like <mandarin>那时候:na shi hou</mandarin> your sister went overseas to study all these things easily use about three hundred thousand two hundred


ya, so if they want to be, there's another two hundred and fifty thousand, on top of the hundred thousand that's like three hundred and fifty thousand and that's probably like maybe, eight years of their life only leh you still got your primary school your secondary school your ten years


no, primary school secondary school polytechnic or JC and university, those are like <mandarin>十五年:shi wu nian</mandarin> of their life eh to study eh, ya and then those are how much already


or <mandarin>十五块钱:shi wu kuai qian</mandarin> ah cannot remember lah, tuition all these things


then they also need their, equipment devices all these things to, to study, ya lor so quite, quite , quite an insight lah to see !wah!


banker whose her name what's her name


ah ah ah ah ah, ya, I saw her profile but I think she's also pregnant again ah


we are I am already saving for them every month, the the so-called expenses that every month we incurred


so I don't know how how how you manage your your your finance and all these things lah so for me is, my earning minus my savings, then is the amount that I can spend, I don't know spend then this is the amount that I save


so I already kept aside, about uh, ten twenty <mandarin>很像是:hen xiang shi</mandarin> about ten percent


ya <mandarin>现在是:xian zai shi</mandarin> about ten percent, ya, for them every month so, !aiya!, just see how it goes lah we are still


, you don't want to consider benny that one ah


but is


but is butterfly park, I I I call Jebas just now, eh I ask him uh I say about what's he doing lor these two days


is some conference thing, monday is the event, then he's doing like stage backstage ah, say he's doing backstage not the then he say okay lah not bad lah backstage just help them out whatever lor then I say you know why you Kena send to backstage or not


ya, escorting !wah!
