!huh!, oh, oh ya ya actually that's quite useful leh for girls, because girls are <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> would like very vulnerable to this kind of thing one


you know just in case got like <mandarin>变态:bian tai</mandarin> actually <mandarin>变态:bian tai</mandarin> ah, they very scared when people scream at them one, really really, !aiya! because you are guy mah that's why you never face before so last time, err my, because there's this uncle ah <mandarin>住我们家楼下的:zhu wo men jia lou xia de</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>他很好笑的:ta hen hao xiao de</mandarin> leh <mandarin>每次看到女孩子:mei ci kan dao nv hai zi</mandarin> he like to scratch his crotch one leh don't know why


weird flex but okay, don't know, ya so okay, I saw it once so I'm like okay, just ignore lah because he, it is kind of like harassment lah but then the thing is he


you can't really report police because he never touch you, that kind of thing, so it's just something to look out, when you see this person, just avoid the person right, okay so okay me and my mom that time right, we were at the letter there lah we are


looking through our mail because there's nobody there so we just stand there taking our time to look through and see what we should throw away right, like those flyers, the guy was staring standing behind us scratching, his crotch


he was standing there cause I turn back I'm like oh my god this guy was standing right behind us leh doing that thing, then my mom turn behind right then my mom scream yell at the person


ya, ya ya he lived at ya one floor below us lah then, he wanted to open his letter box also mah then my mother scream mah !wah! he very scared already he wanted to open but he don't dare open so he run away


ya it is lah but then you know my mom was like, very my mum is like !wah! he always grab people hor very very funny one, so you know last time because when she was because that happen when I was like


fourteen thirteen fourteen years old, so when we just move in ah maybe when I was like four years old right like ten years, ago, right, ten years before the incident lah she also encountered the same thing my mom


the same person, I was very young lah so I didn't know mah she was the one who told me that, she say !wah! <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> uncle ah, then she say ah she roll eye at the uncle, ya the uncle scared already


ya the uncle don't dare to do anything in front of her anymore, I don't know leh I think he got daughter one, he got a family lah that's what I know he got like a wife and a daughter cause I saw before, ya I also a bit traumatizing right like


your father doing this kind of thing to other women, I mean I don't know if she know lah, then like very weird neighbours one, ya


I will tell your daughter and your wife ah, emotional blackmail this one, oh ya !wow!, okay


ya ya then last time I got one neighbour ah, okay this one I'm not very sure lah cause I hear people say one like, the one that live upstairs ah, so apparently, one of the people


so they suspect that the maid is abusing the child, ya, so the the person lah she wrote a letter to the


owner of the house lor, I'm not very sure what happen lah, after that, ya ya I'm not very sure what happen after that because the child is already very big ya


I mean the child is still around lah, not very sure if that happened last time because I was too young to know, I was like five maybe the child was like three or two years old not very sure, very young child only that time now it's like


is it or <mandarin>十七:shi qi</mandarin> ya around there, I'm not very sure if that happened, ya if that happen ah !wah! the maid really Jialat


I don't know leh I not very sure also, ya, then, !huh!, I think you mean broad daylight is it, assume it's broad daylight lah when the person is not at home right the owner, the employer not at home then you can abuse the person's child like what the hell


ya really Jialat one they all then another one ah, oh, ya ya I got one !wah! last time I remember ah, !wah! there's this unit ah at like you know the one behind my place like behind my unit there


like, before you go to my unit there's a, there's one long stretch of corridor then inside there's like four units lah, so one of the units ah I think they illegally rent it out to like, foreign workers


not really ya it's illegal because, you know there's a quota to like, there's a max lah maximum number of people you can, let people stay in a HDB, like, no I think is is like err if it's like your own family member is fine but if you are renting out letting other people to stay


not very sure what's the limit lah I forgot already but then basically I remember right, it's like <mandarin>突然间这样多人出来:tu ran jian zhe yang duo ren chu lai</mandarin> you will you will be like very confused like what what happened what's going on


ya, then after that right after like a few months right, we saw the unit number right on a newspaper, ya so I guess they got caught lah

oh ya plus the children also draw on your wall or something right, that's it, I mean it's it's still counted as your wall, oh ya


, town council, oh okay, go ah go and report, then you just anonymously, oh ya


have you seen like, err school teenagers at your HDB staircase, before


I don't know but they were holding hands and doing stuff it was like seven AM in the morning before their school start, I mean true I guess, still pretty messed up though


oh my one just like sit there and continue doing, !huh! really, eh my my people they date and it's like public even the teachers know leh


eh, oh okay, I didn't know that, ah, ya, we clap, okay, I don't know do you want to clap


okay <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> clap [ah], okay I unplug now


my university starting in like three weeks and then like at the start the first thing it will be our moving into our hall which I look very forward cause it's like, me, like staying alone or like with my friends for the first time without my parents like it's very it trains to me to be like more <mandarin>独立:du li</mandarin> more independent


and then like, after that I will have orientation which, everything is still pretty uncertain because of COVID and then like, I hope, , orientation will be fun I can meet friends but I also feel very worried in case like I can't


mix well around those Easties cause I'm a Westies, and then after that the next week following the following week will be, starting of lessons which I'm very worried cause like


then like uh my friends currently having university and and then they are like they are all complaining about how boring the lessons are, so I'm hoping that my lessons won't be too boring, how about you


for this few days I think cause I left like twenty one days before my freedom and it's like apart from, continuing my driving lessons I am editing videos doing posters doing drawings like just try to sharpen up my skills so that if university ever needs to like make P P err


like, PPT or like what documents kind of stuff I at least I will be more familiar with it and then, I am hoping like the next few weeks probably I can


uh, like, I will just say I will get more sleep actually cause I guess I wouldn't have enough sleep when school start for the next four years, yeah, how about you before your school start


will you miss me,


eh Jio me to go cycling I want to go out to cycle and exercise too I've been lazing on my bed everyday apart from today's lunch I always laze on bed, so let's go cycling one day, yah with our another friend next week right


I thought we haven't, uh we haven't even fix a date yet so never mind we'll just see the weather forecasts I guess cause the weather's, very sunny and also very rainy nowadays it's very unpredictable


err


(hmm) will you be planning to join cycling in UK when you get to go there


oh cause the thing is that next week I got driving test which I hope I can pass which I already failed like twice I'm very bad at driving I hope I don't like cause any accident if some of the road I guess, and then like


, actually this week I just do voluntary work so I can try to help and like contribute back to the society during COVID, trying to do some meaningful stuff, because like life has been really boring I have been wasting months previously


yeah, that's for me,


cause I'm a very I'm a kind of I need to hands on learning which hands on learning can help me learn better, and like without, driving center with my driving instructors I won't be able to learn


outside of it, yup so I've been trying to book driving lessons the next week, , and then I hope next time I can get license and then I can drive my friends around


but you're gonna fly soon, err minimum is one but I think I will go for two since I suck at it I am very bad I keep mounting the curb, like


for twice eh and it's both at like <mandarin>我最擅长的地方就是一个是:wo zui shan chang de di fang jiu shi yi ge shi</mandarin> crank course


err, parallel eh parallel parking yeah parallel parking those are like my strengths but end up, I mount the curb so that was very wasted I guess and it's two hundred and eighty dollars


anyway if I go back right it's like revision lesson so I can tell the instructors what I want to practice which


ah, okay lah but US will be cheaper but according to what I was conversing with my instructor right here what he said was that, you would after you get your license you need to stay there for six months, before you can come back to convert it, and then you still must take your basic theory test


which is also for lifetime, yeah I guess but it's actually quite simple to convert I guess hopefully, will you want manual or auto


okay so let me explain to you so manual is that I have a clutch and okay from my legs right usually if you are auto you have accelerator and foot brake, but then like if you are a manual right you will actually have another clutch then the clutch you need to clutch in and then you can change your gear so at like lowest speed you go lower gear and then at highest speed you go higher gear because like


when you're at lower speed you need like, like lower gear has more power, for your car to like move up


and like the passing rate for manual is slightly lower than auto I guess, so which one are you more keen


actually both has its advantage pros and cons I would say because if you learn auto probably can learn faster and then you can and it's easier to drive and most cars now are auto, but then for manual right by by learning manual you are paying the same price for two two for two kinds of car that you can drive cause manual people they just need to attend one more conversion class and then they can drive auto


so for the same price you pay which is very expensive in Singapore you ah you can, learn manual and auto and that's why I choose it too


(hmm), then I was saying probably next time cause as you know my school is in the east I was thinking, who knows maybe I can drive to school next time if my parents allow me to drive the car, like all the way to the east yeah, damn far


like so at upper Changi MRT all you need to do is like you walk out then is the school already compared to like NTU which you need to take like the school internal bus and then like transfer here transfer there


and then like my school's probably cause is smaller and the cohort is also smaller that's why I chose it actually, yeah, for mine is upper Changi MRT


it's on the blue line all the way and then given that I'm living at #bukit panjang# I have a direct transport like direct MRT all the way even though it's like one and a half hour, yeah, how about you how about, your plans in UK from your housing to your school how are you planning to travel


oh yah then will you like stay near hannah or phoebe, since they are also going UK


well that's good that you are going in jan actually cause so like we can spend christmas together and maybe chinese new year I've another friend who's like planning to return to New Zealand whenever it's possible like the thing is that she's my badminton team mate and every time my team will gather at her house for christmas party and then like if she's going back to New Zealand I'm very sad and like concerned on how my team is going to have christmas party next time and like if you have steamboat for chinese new year you wouldn't be anymore it wouldn't be full attendance anymore which !aiya! I will miss her badly and I'll miss you too yeah


so you wish to celebrate christmas there


for me is that two years ago I celebrated christmas in Korea Seoul, so what I did was initially I was at Busan for like three four days for the holiday and then after that during christmas I took the train the speed train to


Seoul for christmas and then like I remember the first thing I went to Myeong-Dong it was like really cold cause it's also winter err in december, and then like, there were a lot of people on the streets and like it was crowded with all their christmas decoration and the lighting so like I think that was my one and only time celebrating christmas overseas which actually I felt it was very


cool and interesting, and then like I remember at the start of this year, then <mandarin>我在台湾我看那个台北一零一那些烟花:wo zai tai wan wo kan na ge tai bei yi ling yi nei xie yan hua</mandarin> boom boom boom <mandarin>真的很美很美可是只是有很多人:zhen de hen mei hen mei ke shi zhi shi you hen duo ren</mandarin> then <mandarin>我们就一直:wo men jiu yi zhi</mandarin> crowd <mandarin>在一起你知道吗:zai yi qi ni zhi dao ma</mandarin> then we crowd together and then like it was very squeezy it's like packed like sardines really


and it's like even more crowded than like our normal usual MRT crowded like, when during peak hours that kind of crowded, but honestly I would say celebrating, this kind of festive overseas is fun and interesting


but, celebrating with the family and the people actually is the most important thing compared to like everything cause family for me is the most important thing, yeah


for me is that in march actually my team we were supposed to like go to Korea for like team err nine of us in total cause like it was just that week where the guys, are like <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> they BOT err eh no BMT yeah they BMT and then they're out of camp for that one week only so initially our plan was to go Korea to celebrate and like have our post graduation trip


but end up it was thanks to COVID that we couldn't travel so for like safety and like health purposes what we did was we went to SIA and then we like demanded a refund which they gave us, err eventually, and then like what we do it was it was we use the that that money that we actually wanted to spend in Korea to Singapore actually then we had a staycation where we


stayed in some place I can't really remember where then we like explored Singapore the common, places that people you should go USS to play one day, and then we also went to Macritchie the exercise


then after that we also went to, a lot of like we did we went to eat a lot of good food so like we it was a very fun and like exploring Singapore kind of thing for


us who actually like always been mugging in the library you know, so it's like exploring out yeah


I will say, actually also recently we also met up cause in phase two then we were allowed to start playing sports again so we booked badminton courts to play badminton since we're a badminton CCA, and like, !wah! you it's been like months since I exercise so it was very tiring but also very fun with my team so it's like a very good bonding activity


and then apart from playing badminton we even went back to USS and like cause we have a pass for six months so we went back to USS to like make our money worth and like wear masks lah so we can, be safe with at err be safe even though it was pretty crowded the queues were really long


we took the jurassic water ride right and it was like, how long ah we queued to wait to get the waiting number for fifteen minutes then after that after that waiting number we waited one hour for a ride and then we keep we went inside to queue for another hour


so it was like total around two hours plus to take that one ride, that was really crazy, and then but the thing is that, at night the lighting at USS was very pretty so I was thinking of going back again actually, and then if you want you can go together


actually the day that you hiked right I look at your Instagram I was actually there that was the day I was with my team, and then the queues for rides were like one hour eh, I saw you all hiking eh I like I saw the Instagram of you all hiking and then like !wah! <mandarin>我很想去参加可是我要跟我的:wo hen xiang qu can jia ke shi wo yao gen wo de</mandarin> teammates <mandarin>在一起:zai yi qi</mandarin> then my teammates


but USS inside actually is very crowded I would say, yup and even Vivocity where we had our meal like because I'm not sure is it cause we have we are, like cause of the safe distancing measures then like restaurants


don't accept as many people as as before, that's why like it was very hard to find a dining place actually for us, was it very easy for you all when you all go


so what did you all eat


pretty bad but he gave me ninety percent which I guess it it isn't too bad since like I was able to solve his questions with some hints that he gave me, and I, actually we realize that that python module wasn't credit bearing, and then it not being credit bearing means that


it's useless all all it did was to teach us some basic knowledge before school starts and like when school starts we don't get exempted from other like exempted from similar course and then we will, need to like experience and like study the whole thing again and listen to those boring lectures since we already know all this knowledge


which is a bit Sian, and then like since like my this lesson isn't exempted right I actually need to take another english test cause my GP was my general paper, for A level wasn't good so I need to do this english test so I can imagine


me going crazy in term one when school start though my senior told me that, term one grades are actually ungraded, so like what the school wants actually is to like, err let all those fresh mores like let's say


err freshmores to like experience err have the fun and like adapt to the school culture first before they start getting us I guess that's a really good thing, and then like I think I hope I won't regret my choice of school when I graduate in four years


yeah


yeah A level was craziest memorizing like crazy hell all the chemistry uh I hate chemistry especially when my teacher is horrible and like can't really teach it, (ugh), I hope like the professors will be nice and then there will be more projects in school so if there's more projects at least I can


I hope I hope there will be teammates to tank me I guess, hopefully, it's


cope with all this work load and then like I'm still planning thinking of joining CCA, probably like two CCA so like one CCA I can join as a member and then another one can join as EXCO to get some leadership positions and


and like experience I guess, I hope like just like how it is like in RV so like what I did is I join badminton so badminton at least, it's my passions for like since young, and then, I was like as a team mate a team member main player I think that role is good even though the commitment level is very high


and then like err, the other one was by cultures academy where I'm the vice president it was a very weird story let me tell you the story about how I got into, vice president actually


so I really enjoyed that whole process of planning activities planning chinese new year mid autumn's


and looking at the fun participants have brings joy and satisfaction to me, yeah


eh <mandarin>他们在:ta men zai</mandarin> LT <mandarin>里面:li mian</mandarin> err


approachable to the juniors especially, then like, I think end up cause my video was the funniest even cause my chinese cannot make it so I speak, chinese in like the very in the, it's in the


okay lah I guess in the end like the juniors find me amusing so they voted for me


and then like, yeah, I guess that was a very cool, and like actually I think most of it is actually the bulk is from my classmates who, that I'm cause I'm the chairperson of my class so like my classmates they know my abilities and like


what I'm good at so they, trusted my abilities and like they voted for me ah so I guess that's a kind of recognition that I get, (hmm)


helping them like I would say it's actually when my grades are still good I can help my friends with studies but then after that it got bad so I couldn't help but then at least what I can do is like I help them welfare in their welfare so like


I give them exam packs making sure that they are okay recording lessons when they're not around in class because I think, lesson is what we, we are most concerned of what we miss class as athletes because coping is very


I I that was very tiring and then I remember


last year in may around our last few competitions right, I was, it was a very stressful period but actually and then like, it was this decided game when I'm the decider and then like it determines on whether we can actually go for top two


and end up I lost then !wah! I was so guilty for that whole week that I've been crying all night eh that was very, memorable I guess I guess that's part of growth, how about how about your JC is there any other memorable time


(hmm), for me it's also very tiring especially like I've been for you probably like okay for me it's like I've been struggling to pass and like, probably like get the bare minimum to get into a university, but then for you it's like probably trying to work hard towards to like keep up the expectation that others have of you is that true I don't know like everyone views you as like a very


smart and then like, up there kind of person which actually I initially thought of that too, is that true for you


(hmm) I think I can oh you you say first


(hmm), for me is that okay lah I have been at the since JC I've been at the bottom like the meeting principal kind of gang and then I remember once when I met the principal like it was a whole bunch of people and then like there was this girl China scholar she didn't score well and then like


it was the first time she was in that gang cause usually I recognize everyone in that gang cause we are the don't do well gang and then like, I saw her there and then when our principal started talking right, end up she started tearing up and then I was very Shook cause like no one's in the no one in the do badly gang will cry actually cause we already failed too many times until like


it's been a norm for us to attend this kind of thing, and then when I, looking at her actually Shook me cause, what I realize is, err, those people who are really up there right when they fall right it was really it will be very hard the impact will be very great on them but then for me right I remember it was like


nah just another test I just fail again another U I'll just work harder and then like hope for the best and then pray like, no err hope for the best and then like just keep my expectation low also, hoping that I can score well but okay probably I end up didn't


but the good thing about it was, during A level like the main reason why I didn't wanted to go school to collect results right it's like I knew, I had high expectations of myself, even though I have been doing badly I have high expectations cause, I just wanted to go uni that was my


err that's what I want, and then like I was very worried I couldn't get into uni and I disappoint my teachers especially mister Nazri, and then, yah so I didn't dare to go school to collect results cause I will meet all the friends and then like I might just like breakdown in front of them if I don't do well so I decided to continue working at intern like interning on during that day and then like tell all my friends oh I'm not going cause like oh I scared got COVID you know then like a lot of people gathering then will spread okay that was a bullshit reason but yeah


end up it was I got my result and then like it was, fine but not too good but I guess it's still fine cause I'm still I got into uni and I'm really happy now so, I I will consider myself as a very


very easy <mandarin>满足的一个人:man zu de yi ge ren</mandarin> then I'm like very easily contented and then like, that's how probably I maintain happiness for me, yeah


but you in the end did really well, , err <mandarin>我会觉得:wo hui jue de</mandarin> err


it's like it seems very cool to like study there and then like after researching there's, info system and design and artificial intelligence which is actually a new course for our batch this year so if I go in right I'll be like the first like


like the, guinea pig of the batch you know of like studying that course and actually, yeah so what I wanted is actually design and artificial intelligence, and, studying like given that it's a new course right actually it shows that in the market there is a demand for this kind of talent which I hope I can be


and, maybe studying, studying, design and artificial intelligence it will be very challenging since I don't have any, foundation to computing like all I know currently is a bit of python, which I think computing will require a lot more of the computing language so


I hope in the next few years I'll get to learn it which I guess it will be very useful since Singapore is like try to, work towards a smart nation kind of


then, this one, but <mandarin>其实:qi shi</mandarin> but actually, I'm just hoping that, the skillsets is necessary err is relevant and to relevant for me in the workforce in the future since


then like, actually money will be my motivation but I hope that this skill sets can help me work towards that goal of having money, and then like I also realise the importance of, being financially independent also like during internship


cause internship actually the money that we earn isn't a lot so I need to try to save up to like, save money, and then like !aiya! I still think that I didn't earn much in internship but I guess it's the experience that counts, how about you you did a lot of internship right


(hmm) actually for me actually I also considered gap year cause like, sit err <mandarin>想以后想做的一个方向:xiang yi hou xiang zuo de yi ge fang xiang</mandarin> cause initially actually for me right I don't really know what I want to do in future


like apart from money lah like I don't know what I want to do in future lah all my friends know that they don't want to be a psychologist they want to be like a historian they want to be a what but actually for me it's that I'm a very lost kid with no direction so initially I thought that if I take a gap year probably I can


work at a place and then like figure out what I want to be in the future but actually, for me is that considering that now it's COVID, it's very hard the economy is bad and then like it's very hard for me to find a job which is which has a decent pay and like can make me can let me learn stuff because every company is trying to like retrench people


so in the end I decided not to take a gap year even though, if I take a gap year, probably with the experience in my portfolio other like there will be more schools that will, give me an offer since my grade isn't that good so for me is that I applied for six schools


err actually I only got three offers back cause my grades isn't very good, but actually thankfully what was good was that out of the three offers two were my first my first and second choice, so actually getting my first and second choice makes me happy, and my to reveal lah my third choice is SMU business or like NUS business which I think like the environment will be very Rabak you know all the people go clubbing and like oh a lot of


kind of that kind of people which I don't which it doesn't vibe with me so actually I think SUTD the kind of, school life is what I'm looking for even though it's a bit protected but it also allows me to, grow and explore on what is what


like the what I would want to be in the future so I hope like this, this is the direction that I would like to explore in the next four years on like figure figuring out who I am and like as a person and like who I want to be next time also


yeah I hope I can finish that like exploring in four years yeah


no I didn't get in, okay so okay to say it my six choices okay so what I did was I apply to all six schools so SUTD is and then NTU it was IEM information engineer and media I think and then it was NUS business and


and and then NTU I also applied teaching got a teaching to be a teacher NIE but okay I guess that's not me and then there's also NUS business and SMU business and then there's SUSS and SIT which I both not told me they like yeah, that's


that's that's my six, well I got NTU's information engineer and media and it was okay let me just tell you the story it was very annoying so like I got that I wanted to accept accept SUTD on the


on the on twentieth may cause it was very nice number <mandarin>五二零你知道吗五二零是我爱你:wu er ling ni zhi dao ma wu er ling shi wo ai ni</mandarin> so like haha


err nineteen may, then eh wait NTU <mandarin>那个是我的:na ge shi wo de</mandarin> second choice then <mandarin>我有有一点犹豫:wo you you yi dian you yu</mandarin> cause NTU is a very prestige school and then like according to my teacher who has students in this course, he he know that like this course is not too bad also so initially I was very hesitant between like NTU and SUTD


then, so in the end I chose SUTD lah then the last offer that I got was SUSS it was, marketing it was a degree in marketing which, it's too specific that I think, it doesn't bring me much benefit in the future compared to


SUTD's technology kind of things since it will give me a better career prospects, then why you choose, err overseas that compared to Singapore uni Singapore uni not good meh


well I think you are very brave cause like I'm actually, what I do is like I find I, find my very comfortable environment so <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> SUTD <mandarin>的话我们我问问一个学姐她讲我的学校生活是很跟我们立化中学的是很雷同的就是很一样:de hua wo men wo wen wen yi ge xue jie ta jiang wo de xue xiao sheng huo shi hen gen wo men li hua zhong xue de shi hen lei tong de jiu shi hen yi yang</mandarin> then like


so if like the people and the vibe there is the similar to RV right so like, it's very, protected and safe though like I like the environment but it's protected and safe but I can still explore outside, but like, the safety nets is in the system makes me feel very comfortable itself


and then like okay lah about being independent I guess it will be fine since, most of like I will be able to make friends there like hopefully it'll be a very comfortable environment, for you, won't you be afraid or like scared to be in


there like won't you like miss Singapore food would you be like wanting to learn there like learn how to cook


but actually I think, you going there to make like friends from other countries sounds very cool like, cause for both of us are from like a chinese school and then most of our friends like chinese what I'm looking forward also in my uni is like I can make friends of like malay called indian and then like mix around and then learn their culture I think that will be very cool cause like


initially remember our school have like immersion programmes to China like even though I interacted with those chinese kids but those very short term interaction actually doesn't help me build the bond together, compared to when I went to Indonesia for the another school trip actually we went there for a longer period in like to stay in school for a longer period of time so actually the bond that I have with


those indonesian friends actually still stays and like especially given like social media now so, what I do is like I will chat with them on Instagram actually and then look at their daily post though like most of their posts are in malay I will just click like see translation and then I will just translate their malay post like into english to read and then like understand about their school college school life also since now they are also going towards


thery are also leaving their school going to uni so I think we are, though we are in different countries we are experiencing similar stuff, so actually I think it's, that's quite cool about making international friends and building bonds, actually important like you know GP they always say Singapore is like a


internet what international hub and whatever you need to like, to survival we need to make friends with other country people and like be on good terms so I guess that will be quite cool, so what you want to be if you, in the future you want to like work


where that kind of thing


wait where's your bond


that'll be cool leh you can go neighboring countries I think my neighboring countries only #pulau tekong# which is part of the country it's just an island, which you can't really go, and, for me is like oh talking about neighboring countries actually my family really miss Malaysia


cause like we always go Malaysia to buy like groceries cause since the items there are cheap, then like now COVID and then you can't go over it's been really a sad year I would say that we cannot go to Malaysia and then I remember I read err online before then there was a very funny post during our national day you know so the national day the post was like big big oh happy birthday Singapore we miss you in some more at JB


yeah do you see


eh <mandarin>以后我们一起去马来西亚去逛街可以吗我也是要买衣服我现在我的衣服我的衣橱里面没有很多衣服:yi hou wo men yi qi qu ma lai xi ya qu guang jie ke yi ma wo ye shi yao mai yi fu wo xian zai wo de yi fu wo de yi chu li mian mei you hen duo yi fu</mandarin> then <mandarin>我在想要不要去淘宝买可是淘宝它的运费又很贵所以我有点犹豫看要不要跟在:wo zai xiang yao bu yao qu tao bao mai ke shi tao bao ta de yun fei you hen gui suo yi wo you dian you yu kan yao bu yao gen zai</mandarin> Shopee <mandarin>买因为:mai yin wei</mandarin> Shopee <mandarin>应该几天后有:ying gai ji tian hou you</mandarin> nine nine sales so it's on the nine september there will be a sale


they always have this kind of weird sale random sale, so I guess that will be a good thing I hope I can get new clothes and like, update my wardrobe for university


ship back and then it's a bit more troublesome I guess compared to online or like not compared to those stores in the mall, but I really what's your usual style of clothes, I really can't find mine


(hmm) thankfully my friends aren't those very popular kids so at least they will wear normal clothes compared to those very, flowery very pattern very fashionable clothes so I don't feel like that peer pressure thankfully, but, I hope to improve my clothes sense also lah but though uni I'm just gonna wear a t-shirt and a jeans that will be the fastest way


but I also hope like probably if I go out I can wear a different kind of shirt apart from my normal t-shirt and shorts which I always wear, which I still do actually,


and then like also I also, I also feel like the pressure when remember during internship like it was very hard I had to like buy more dresses online to like I bought like a few Zalora dress to like, buy and then like wear and then I have I make sure I have five sets of clothes for five working days


so I have shirts to wear to work and then like, and because, the the boss will be there so you cannot look too Cui also and then sometime you have not presentation but there will be outside guests so you must also look presentable so, apart from looking presentable with shirts right another thing is make up which I don't really like


the idea and like I don't really know too so I think, I also need to explore that area


sure you can just text me I'm very bored nowadays apart from like driving, I have been just lazing at home, then like because school is starting in three weeks I was thinking of like visiting my niece and nephew with uh like before my school start cause I won't be able to visit them as often and like


see my grandma also, yeah


!hey! sarah what are your university plans


so like most likely I'll probably be doing remote learning in term one but then like I'm also not very sure how the lessons will be conducted there because of the


time difference between Singapore and UK then like all the clubs and societies I also don't know how they're gonna like conduct their activities, through remote err teaching or like learning because like the people in my class are like from all over the world


so like I hope that at least they will put in some alternative plans for like students who cannot go into campus lor then I guess I see how it goes but, what you doing now ah like these few days


err <mandarin>对我来说呢我看我现在在读一些:dui wo lai shuo ne wo kan wo xian zai zai du yi xie</mandarin> err, pre uh pre lessons reading so that that I know what the professor will teach and then like I'm going out with my friends more often cause once I go to the UK I probably won't be able to see them anymore which is quite sad


but, yes I will, but I think, okay lah I guess that I'm kind of unemployed now so I got lot of free time then I'll do like sometime I go cycling then


then most of the time like I'm eating or like sleeping, or going out with my friends, yeah


oh yeah, okay let's, , , ya ya ya eh which day ah


I mean we can always, oh no, then I think we need to check with hannah when she's free also


like you are only free on


oh I see, then you can drive me around too, then usually, then usually like how many lessons do you have to go for before you take another test


then <mandarin>不管你再上那个课哦他们会不会就是针对你的弱点去教你:bu guan ni zai shang na ge ke o ta men hui bu hui jiu shi zhen dui ni de ruo dian qu jiao ni</mandarin> or will they like just teach you the whole lesson again


yeah


(hmm), actually, what's the difference ah, like


maybe I should also learn manual then after that then I convert to auto since like it's cheaper and you get to learn both also


but then the thing is that transport also very expensive so if I stay at zone two [right] I also need to take the, err MRT everyday to school and then like <mandarin>如果那个交通费加起来也是挺贵的:ru guo na ge jiao tong fei jia qi lai ye shi ting gui de</mandarin> but then I was thinking of like going to school accommodation since there will be like a community there then you can also


but I also not very sure whether like there'll be enough spaces since I'll be going only in term two


(hmm), err university allocation results


because the situation also quite unpredictable leh


!aww! thank you eh but it's quite cool eh that you all the team always like gather together on like christmas, err and new year to like celebrate together like can


oh but then like for me [right] I was actually quite excited to go in december cause like december is like the <mandarin>圣诞节:sheng dan jie</mandarin> [right] then like the UK then they'll have like all the christmas decoration plus winter is from december to february sia


I I don't know lah cause like usually my family also don't really celebrate christmas so like usually like during like christmas holiday <mandarin>我们平时都是在家里:wo men ping shi dou shi zai jia li</mandarin> like <mandarin>庆祝然后:qing zhu ran hou</mandarin> like <mandarin>看电视:kan dian shi</mandarin> but then like I heard in the UK it's really like


they have a like very festive season there and then like people will go and eat like all the, err turkey and all like celebrate christmas like, how the westerners usually do so, so I think it's quite cool leh to see their culture also


COVID season means like we can't really travel much also then actually my family had plans to travel during december but <mandarin>看起来好像不可以去:kan qi lai hao xiang bu ke yi qu</mandarin> leh


oh yeah eh that's so cool I always remember like in JC two then like we didn't really have any youthhood because we were like always like study and mugging in the freaking library, ya but eh but it's so cool that like your team mate is so like <mandarin>团结一致:tuan jie yi zhi</mandarin> then


I think that's very cool leh like not many teams can like, be so bonded even after they graduate


oh yeah actually <mandarin>看起来挺好玩的:kan qi lai ting hao wan de</mandarin> then, I thought but that time when I went with hannah [right] there was actually very very few people at USS eh then we were thinking like is it the like park closed down because, there were like too few people going cause that time when we went there to hike [right] there were like almost nobody there


!huh!


then after that we mananged to get it lor so I thought it was quite, err lucky for us


, but <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> SUTD <mandarin>比较:bi jiao</mandarin> hands on <mandarin>的吗:de ma</mandarin> so I guess maybe it suits your teaching your learning style more than like A level where we're just like mugging and memorizing all the stuff in our brains so that we can like vomit everything out during exams


err <mandarin>一起读书的时光:yi qi du shu de shi guang</mandarin> then like at that moment of time lah I couldn't imagine like who will like me studying [right] but then actually like where you look back [right] I can't imagine like going through these difficult times alone without like my friends or teachers <mandarin>我觉得如果没有他们的陪伴我不会成为我现在:wo jue de ru guo mei you ta men de pei ban wo bu hui cheng wei wo xian zai</mandarin> err <mandarin>这样的成我不会达到我现在这样的成长:zhe yang de cheng wo bu hui da dao wo xian zai zhe yang de cheng zhang</mandarin> so I am very grateful to like the friends and like my teachers and I think that okay lah honestly I feel that I won't be able to like go through this whole journey again cause it was quite tiring lah but when I look back I still think it's quite a like bitter sweet moment for me I guess


no actually that's that's not really very true leh and I still remember like, chemistry tests <mandarin>我不及格然后我就在厕所里面哭因为那时我:wo bu ji ge ran hou wo jiu zai ce suo li mian ku yin wei na shi wo</mandarin> err <mandarin>高中一的时候我的:gao zhong yi de shi hou wo de</mandarin> chemistry <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> A <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> but then because like organic chemistry [right] then I couldn't like get used to like organic chemistry because there wasn't like a flow in organic chemistry for me ya so then after that then


I, decided, then that time I keep failing I think like for two test in a row then that time I was still taking like H three game theory and during H and H three game theory [right] I saw like a lot of smart people who are like way smarter than me and they had like way more commitments and they were like way more Zai so I think that time I had like a bit of like inferiority complex and I felt like I wasn't as good as the everyone else


ya so, ya so I feel like you know it's kind of stressful when like your, parents and like your teachers have like high expectations and everyone thinks you are very Zai but actualy like inside you are also struggling at this at at a moment in time


yeah


oh


actually same [right] you know like I was super, stress over like my A level results and <mandarin>其实我本来都不想去学校拿我的成绩因为我就是我一直想如果我的成绩不好怎么办:qi shi wo ben lai dou bu xiang qu xue xiao na wo de cheng ji yin wei wo jiu shi wo yi zhi xiang ru guo wo de cheng ji bu hao zen me ban</mandarin> then my plan was to actually like just go and work [right] then maybe like around twelve thirty


uh then like I'll go and like lock myself in some room in my office to go and look at, like my results secretly or maybe even like after five PM when I go home then like I opened the results out with my


but what are you, but what are you planning to major in SUTD ah, err major in what subject


ya actually


err take on more task to expose yourself to what they err actually


err go backpacking, but then like I was actually considering what I wanted to do like one the next year if I actually like take a gap year and it's really very hard to find err opportunities that can really enrich yourself especially during this COVID period where the employment is limited and even if they take internships there's a limit to the number of people that they probably recruit


ya so I decided just start with lessons, oh then you were saying that like you applied to both, SMU and NUS business [right] so these are the two courses that you got in [right] then like just curious why leh


oh okay then like get


oh so which offers did you get just curious like what are the other two offers


apply for local university, and my chances were actually quite varied because like I guess I was quite influenced by like, err what other people choose and also like the grade requirement so like for SMU


I actually chose err computing and law, then after that then for NTU I choose economic and public policy and global affairs, then after that then NUS I apply for like com science so <mandarin>如果你看这些选择的话其实是很不同的:ru guo ni kan zhe xie xuan ze de hua qi shi shi hen bu tong de</mandarin> then after that then like I was thinking why did I even apply for like these subjects and then I realise that like I'm not really a like a com science person but then like


err <mandarin>跟技能或是跟电脑有关的科目:gen ji neng huo shi gen dian nao you guan de ke mu</mandarin> will bring like very good career prospect but it's not something that like I will enjoy in the future and then I think my parents were not very supportive of me going to NTU because they feel that NTU is like


better for science and engineering instead of like


oh, err <mandarin>国家:guo jia</mandarin> so it's like a very diverse community but like fifty percent or like err


err <mandarin>同学一起交流:tong xue yi qi jiao liu</mandarin> then <mandarin>我可以扩大我的视野:wo ke yi kuo da wo de shi ye</mandarin> then like really experience the different culture, as compared to just stay in Singapore because for Singapore universities like most of them consists of like mostly singaporeans and I think another factor that really


drive me to study in the UK is that they focus a lot on like independent learning and like critical thinking so instead of like, err asking you to like regurgitate or maybe like err having a lot of like tutorials or lessons


like arrange they actually have very very few contact hours so let's say for UCL there's only like twelve hours of contact, twelve hours of contact time per week then <mandarin>其他的时间你是应该自己学习:qi ta de shi jian ni shi ying gai zi ji xue xi</mandarin> so I think that provides like a lot of flexibility for me to really like


enjoy, outside of like academic wise ya so that's why I choose to go to UK then I was like thinking


but then I guess that, my senior err what my senior make sense that it's also part of growing up and surely teach you how to be a, like more grown up more confident and more independent person especially when you study overseas alone like for a period of time without like your family taking care of all your needs


ya probably learn how to cook because I heard like UK <mandarin>他们的西餐食物非常的昂贵然后又不适合我们华人的胃口:ta men de xi can shi wu fei chang de ang gui ran hou you bu shi he wo men hua ren de wei kou</mandarin> so I think I will definitely like be cooking more often and then I will probably try to like learn how to take care of my own basic needs like how to clean toilet lah or like do housework etc before like I like depart there so that


I will be more independent then after that then, then, I guess there are also many singaporeans who are studying in London so I can also like


and I I think UCL also quite open like you get to study other third language as a elective module so you can study like spanish german, France, so I guess it's it'll be quite enriching journey it's just that it will become uh boring during remote learning in the first term but Bobian lah I guess cause of COVID they can't really do anything much about it especially since


UCL consists of so many international students


oh because I'm on a scholarship [right] so like, once I come back from returned from my studies I need to work there for like six years so I don't really have any plans beyond that six years maybe I'll consider like once I, finish my study and maybe compete my bond


yes, but I guess, my bond is err six years, and I guess


I think it's quite cool to make international friends also even though like as in what you mentioned Singapore is like a melting pot of culture


err in a very like frequent manner so I hope that at least when I go to UK, there I'll have more opportunities to like interact with people of other nationalities


oh my god, especially to Buu like <mandarin>买衣服啊买日用品:mai yi fu a mai ri yong pin</mandarin> because there the goods are cheaper [right] and we always go there to pump petrol so like everytime I go to Malaysia I'll like mass buy a lot of clothes especially <mandarin>因为那边的衣服卖的挺便宜的:yin wei na bian de yi fu mai de ting pian yi de</mandarin> and Singapore clothes are so expensive like everytime when I want to go shopping centre to buy clothes it's either too


ya so it's like very hard to buy clothes and then like since we can't go Malaysia I also cannot go there to like dye hair or like buy new specs


ya so, I kind of hope that COVID will end soon so that like I can resume my studies also and like travel as much as I want


I prefer to wear those type of simple like I don't really like to wear like err those that exposed their shoulders I think I prefer to wear like those type of, it's err simple to wear then like can wear out easily clothes ya so I'm still thinking where I should go and buy clothes then I wanted to I was thinking of Taobao also but then like I feel very uncertain because I'm not very sure if the clothes will look nice on me like cause because I feel like the cutting need to like fit one's


body shape also, ya so I'm also not very sure where to buy then I know like <mandarin>很多人去:hen duo ren qu</mandarin> Bugis <mandarin>买衣服因为他们讲很便宜可是那边又不可以试穿:mai yi fu yin wei ta men jiang hen pian yi ke shi na bian you bu ke yi shi chuan</mandarin> so like I also don't know where people usually buy like very pretty clothes especially like most of the popular kids they will always wear like very nice and pretty clothes to go out with their friends


oh ya actually my grandma asked me to like <mandarin>买新的的衣服然后穿美美去跟朋友出去:mai xin de de yi fu ran hou chuan mei mei qu gen peng you chu qu</mandarin> because she say that like as one grows old then you must learn like how to dress nicely also ya so I was thinking maybe next time we can like


go shopping together when you and alicia are free, because ah we


actually I also <mandarin>不太喜欢化妆:bu tai xi huan hua zhuang</mandarin> cause <mandarin>我觉得很麻烦然后我又其实不太懂怎么化妆:wo jue de hen ma fan ran hou wo you qi shi bu tai dong zen me hua zhuang</mandarin> but I think that I should at least like wear proper for internships and like when I like wear a bit nicer other than shirt and shorts when I go out with my friend so I guess


you can tell me when you can text me when you are free then like we can go shopping together next time


okay, ya before your school starts


okay


eh hi, ya, okay which plan


okay, ya


per month


okay, so every month you pay how much, okay


so,


ya, iphone eleven dalam one thousand plus ah


so if kalau tambah plus atau yang eh sorry iphone pro eh iphone pro dengan iphone pro max


ya, the same, have you checked


oh so I think tengok tempat dia plan [jer] lah tengok macam mana dia punya plan dia berapa gigabyte


oh okay, ten gigabyte [kan] per month okay


oh, ya ya, uh


ya around there two thousand sixteen I think ya


four years eh but I think you just bought [kan] iphone six plus the new one or you upgrade eh


oh still iphone lah, oh but I think recently you bought [kan] a new phone, !alamak! drill ah buto sorry sorry pause


oh, ya


unless you have wifi lah at home you already have wifi [kan] or, ya, ya


oh actually iphone seven also not bad tapi I I would suggest iphone eight ah because it's the latest kind of ya it it's the best it's the new iphone SE ah


I think tu paling terbaik lah kalau nak nak apa nak fikirkan iphone eleven is really good enough ah, iphone SE the new one I think is this year early this year twenty twenty


even ah android phone pun sama lah like google the new google apa pixel [kan] they they make it cheaper lah but I think the specs wise of course it's a bit kurang lah compared to the previous one ya


to me it's the same as iphone eight ya it's much similar to iphone eight


have have have iphone eight plus ya the the big one, must check the new iphone SE SE right jap eh let me check eh, there's about four point seven inch


it has a better bionic chip the apa it's I think it's similar to iphone eight design touch ID, so I'm not sure if there's a face recognition ah I don't think so


ya they are still selling I mean you must check you must check takpe ah ustaz tengah check, let me check


there's no more ah sorry they don't sell anymore ah iphone eight, so I think they replace with iphone SE starting from six hundred and forty nine dollars, ya the cheapest, but I I'm currently using iphone eleven lah so I think for camera wise if you love the camera [kan] take pictures all I think iphone eleven is good enough ah iphone eleven uh


not too sure ah cause I never use iphone eight before iphone eleven ah


iphone X eh iphone X jap jap jap there's a face ID iphone XS XR


ya !alamak!, who


oh our ni eh parents eh, I think biasa ah mum is sleeping then I think bapak baru balik ya and


ah bapak kerja ah dekat ni lah iya dia kerja ni lah hari ni kerja [pe] hari ni hari rabu [kan]


tuesday wednesday and thursday, ya monday and friday off ah


I'm not really looking to job search yet ah cause I'm doing freelance ah so I have several project to handle for for the app development


I think by end of the year lah I try to finish this projects and without expecting much lah I think I think the most important thing is experience ah and the skills that I will acquire ya


once I start working ah I'm more prepared ah prepared than ever


I think it's a bit hard ah because once you already


ya you mean like interview is it


ya you really most tech companies they will offer about three to four round of interview (ppc) so the first step


they really coding test ah they would will want to see whether you are, you have the skills ah you have the knowledge


in the internet and most of the coding answers are there already, ya


ah ya, ya ya some some some apa some company [kan] they, they know ah whether you you've you search online ke tak lah cause they cause I think the most important I don't think is the first interviewed I mean the coding test is not really important ah it's the second round where most probably is a face to face


and they will ask you like on the spot lah like how do you solve this ah ah this coding test like, like what kind of algorithm do you use what kind of, like what kind of


ya that, like how do you solve the problem lah I think that's the most important, then I think it's also not the answer that is uh that is important for them I think it's like how you, how would you explain to them lah, ya


it's more mostly interview skills lah that, if you are not really strong in an interview then you need to practice ah you need to really improve on it ah then you have higher chance to to be apa to be offered lah by the company


so what what about you have you, have you been job hunting, ah monster ya the recruiter right the recruit company


they want you fast ah


the expected, oh


ya, ya, ya if they can't offer you lah


oh


I'm not sure like what like what's your expectation depends on the I think to me is the job job position like example if you are like a assistant engineer


ya aviva ya, full time, oh okay okay


ya, ya


uh full time ke part time


ya, oh


ya, ya, (mmhmm)


oh okay okay, but that enable there's you know there's normal tech and also have a communicated ya ya so, normal acad ya ya


ah the


(mmhmm), but dia orang ambil same timing dia orang ada own shift ke apa atau it's just one time


(mmhmm), microsoft office ah, okay okay


oh ya correct correct, ya they they are too detailed ah, they said okay monday to friday, the timing is uh I think


so you're mostly your job hunting specifically ah system engineer lah you are looking to that position atau you are looking into different role, different roles in terms of dia punya ni lah


ya over work ah


ya, ya, yup understood


software engineer ke if, if it involves coding like for example I think most of the data science they need coding [kan] they need like, python or, or


ya I think it's considered high level, ya


ya it's high level ya, low level like I think if you learn like the basics of computer science fundamentals, so mostly it's like S language or like C plus plus


but it's still I think for like C programming is basically is, readable lah you can still read the code ah like for example I think the lowest like out of the worst I think like S language until, involves like how


what is it, oh okay okay eh never heard before eh , even though I am a computer science


C hash eh, I think it's called C sharp ah, ya so the hashtag is it ya actually C hash is it is a C sharp, ya so basically all these programming I've learnt before lah during my during assignments or project during university when polytechnic


ya so I think in terms of, most companies do have like you need to know lah this kind of, mostly low level lah like C sharp python eh sorry C sharp uh what is it called ah ya C plus plus


pearl so mostly because I think it's much more stable ah than the newer technology like, for example we say like newer language, for example apa eh okay name like


I think it's like flutter dia ada own language which which covered dart eh dart ya I think mostly high level also, there's also google language they have their own language which is apa go golang eh golang


ya golang, ya G O L A N G, golang also is like basically is like, like owned by google ah so they they have their own language they make their own ni designed by them


so I think mostly the their syntax is like similar to C, ya which is more structural typing ah more structured


ya, , how do you spell logs


oh log ya ya ya log in log in ya, error eh, ya


, ya ya, ya RCA


ya, ya


I think


a'ah


(mmhmm), ya


ya nobody use eh, oh


, ya,


but each country like they have their own server ke atau they have their own


atau combine macam asia, oh


oh okay, like


you know macam COVID pun is getting better [kan] singapore, malaysia pun like they they do open the border [kan] to singapore [kan] macam only for those yang business


actually boleh balik ah because technically she is ni [kan] she is not singaporean [kan], ya lah ya lah


unless dia orang ada they ada kerja dekat sini lah dia orang ada kerja [kan] atau rumah kat sini [kan], Clementi house, ya because they are


oh, ya true true, but you never never contact them


but you haven't contact them eh like never contact them


oh cik rozi lama tak call eh, yup true true, Alhamdulilah dah makan dah I think


mum cook apa kari ayam so we just ate tu lah we just ate the, uh the rice and


I think I need to start learn I need to start to learn cooking ah, but it's a bit hard ya it's a bit hard, I prefer to cook alone ah


but I know ah I know how to cook macam like simple simple ah like usually I cook thai food ah sweet and sour fish, baby #kai lan# ikan masin so macam setakat ikut ni ah ikut youtube and


ya kadang-kadang beli kat ni fairprice, nearby lah


that time takde ikan apa eh ikan tenggiri ke apa eh


throw the like it's just, simple lah dia punya masak it's not that hard ah just ikut dia punya youtube punya tutorial, ya not much


ah boneless and dia macam I think it's dried ah dried food dried fish, ya it's not in the fridge ah it's like dried ah dried #ikan bilis#


once the the fish dah tu [kan]


but for fish I think it's a bit troublesome ah kena kena masak ikan dulu kena apa make sure letak dengan tepung ah tapi dia punya sauce senang nak buat ah sweet and sour sauce, ya


ya you you need to get the fish ya fried first ah, ya, it's homemade ah homemade ya


ya, ya capsicum


I think the, ya true ah barang-barang dah siap if someone already did that for me [kan] senang ah I think my life will be easier


ya, but also maid also it's not that cheap ah


cannot cannot like that ah I think most women nowadays is they prefer to work ah [kan] but depends ah eh, ya


, ya


, so take turn ah, oh


okay


ya for weekend ah, ya usually once a week [kan] like sunday


ah iya lah


but if the maid macam they have their own tu [kan] kerja timing dia [kan], like, ya sunday off


but for weekday they work like almost the whole day [kan] except malam ah [kan], ya


ya of course


that time I saw like macam halal punya daging [kan], ya really ni lah dia punya which section eh the section yang ada frozen food


ya it's similar ah same as when you go to grocery, ya, actually I saw this youtube video ah very interesting dia macam VR punya shopping


ya like you need it it's like the shop the shop [kan] there'll be someone who welcome you pastu ah you using the VR lah I think it's a like the device ah you need to buy the device VR device


then you are like it's like shopping ah, ah it's a virtual ah everything is virtual, ya you cannot be real ah I mean impossible ah but its similar lah it's almost similar like


ya it's like it's like someone, if if memang ya stock finish of course the thing is empty lah dia punya ni ah, it's the same as you are shopping ah it's like you you are really shopping, ya virtually lah


ya very interesting, ya I think like imagine like walking ah


like you are even grabbing food you use your hand to grab [kan], why


access to shopping mall eh is it, (mmhmm), oh ya, but I'm not sure like like the walking stuff you can just walk but like you don't have to walk literally ah I'm not too sure ah there's a button to like


move fast forward or what but I never try VR before ah I never try using like VR I I don't think so I tried before, ya but quite quite interesting, of course ah dia punya price mahalnya it's like you're playing PS four punya VR punya tu [kan] console


, ya, but I think can be solved ah like technology wise macam they keep changing [kan] most like it's probably ah I feel very interesting like how


like especially this COVID times like how technology they try to change ah macam in terms of like the new normal, so we are living like like nowadays people are working from home, like dulu takde [kan] I think previously my company my former company dia pernah offer ah work from anywhere so one year macam they give like seven days ah


ya, ah ya lah as long as you do something lah usually the manager will ni lah the


the manager will ask ah like what have you done today like it's it's the same it's like the sprint ah sprint adjust chrome, where you go everyday task, ya standard meeting ya, ah you also need to be involved in like zoom zoom meeting


ah ya lah my company former company use zoom for ni lah, for presentation, ya of course ah I think they are going to make one in singapore [kan]


ya, ah but I not too sure ah like I heard from the news ya and they were hiring ah I think a lot foreigner ah


oh ikea ah I don't I don't think so actually I don't buy like


so maybe I might go with him lah I'm not sure when maybe next week, which one the restaurant ah


of course ah open lah, but they limit ah they limit like, ya they they limit ni lah the number of ah customer to enter the restaurant they limit like about not too sure berapa ah


ya they make, one one table [kan] like ya seat of four or seat of two, you cannot sit like you only can like usually people like those yang one person [kan] they will sit at the seat of four kan nanti macam they don't apa utilise the space ah they don't make use of the space


then end up macam the queue is long sometimes ya most of the time lah kalau weekend [kan] in Tampines [kan]


ya couple family [kan] (ppc), ya


ya, oh counter table ya, oh,


ya yup understand


not too sure ah, oh, shopping mall eh is it like shopping mall, oh okay, ya ya


open concept ah, it's like open concept ah,


ya, oh ya ya


, oh iya lah iya lah, , ya


truth


, ya


ya, ya I think it's a bit tu lah a bit, it's a bit scary ah kalau if


like actually you say you heard places yang some, restaurant or bar [kan] they they have a lot of


ya lah


of course ah, NEA ya


(mmhmm), ambassador


ya, ah true ah, I think just make sure like everyone just follow ah cause now nowadays people like


ya lah you see like in at apa shopping mall like it's those crowded [kan] nowadays macam susah nak control ah, but but how do you want to like the is it they got come on to let in is it began when it's too many, ya I think they will just monitor lah this apa maybe there's someone


watching the CCTV ke apa [kan] they have their own


ya, to keep track


auto check out, I think possible lah just that location wise is a bit some ah some ya ya true ah some some ah some might be insecure a bit ah like, to be in track [kan]


trace I think trace together ya trace together ya, trace together, trace together, ya, ya it's good


ya I think it's battery I think a lot complain, about I think regarding the the battery lah dia cepat habis ah, ya definitely ah bluetooth ya, through the app


ya I think in the background it's still running ah it will still run ya because it need to keep checking [kan], I'm not too sure ah I think the the own algorithm algorithm to detect ya it's very hard to minimise ah so I think they need like support of


google and apple [kan] to ni with the android dengan IOS phone, I think so ah I think it's just the bluetooth ah like because bluetooth will detect the nearby device [kan]


ya this is not this is not easy ah because because I think they still updates ah they're still updating they are still improving, for apple [kan] and google


are you planning to to switch to android or what cause now you are looking into iphone [kan], Google


oh, android, , oh google home ya


ya, who


google home okay, ya


(mmhmm)


yup correct, ya, ah ya ya


(mmhmm),


oh, ah,


I think so ah, I think this is still depends cause google home [kan] they detect ni [kan] the surrounding [kan], the microphone is how far


as long as jauh ah microphone dengan I mean dia punya google home [kan] ada microphone [kan]


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), ya, I'm not too sure ah like like what will be the reply like ah macam default like


ah there's something, , (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


ya maybe ah maybe ya ya the default punya default, oh iya lah iya lah ada offline data lah persistent storage ah


ya, like


ya amazon products, ya


oh, (mmhmm), I I think I not too sure also because never really use these kind of products


like Punggol [kan] there's there's a lot of BTO flat [kan] so I think these flats dia orang ada their own smart punya apa devices ah macam ah smart light smart oven smart like most of the most of the devices in in our in our house is


I think not too sure ah like they have their own ya they have their own brand ah I'm not not sure what brand is that ah, maybe maybe they collaborate (hmm)


I think there might be lah not too sure like, for example smart light you enter a room [kan] nanti dia macam the intensity akan increase ah, as we walk into macam tu example [jer] lah


ya macam ada sensor [kan], ah iya lah iya lah, ya ya ya true true


and also I think most of the things in our house ah like TV or what like, ya, ya because


because now like I think the manually the manual one I think we saw in different country [kan] dia kat india eh, they use leg, ah pedal pedal ya so they have to use


uh our hand lah our hand to press the button, ya, I think in singapore ada some building [kan] dia macam like if inside the lift takde button


only kat luar [jer], #paya lebar# ya I saw I went to #paya lebar#, oh, ya ya


, oh ya ya ya


hi Hamzah, eh Hamzah that time bapak have the iphone eleven the plan starhub


iphone eleven know got sale ah macam tak sure kalau the plan worth it or not because now my plan I think is twenty five dollars, uh no contract ah


think like macam I think about ten GB ah, ya but then, the new plan iphone eleven so you pay about, four hundred dollars


but I think minus fifty because got voucher, , every month


pay fifty five so it's almost double ah, okay bottom western epitope so calculate mahjong, what okay two years eh so it's two years times fifty five dollars


times twenty four months [kan] about extra seven hundred dollars ah [kan]


but iphone eleven uh how much ah iphone eleven now, ya the lowest one lah I think thirty two GB


okay,


ya I check a bit the difference is about the incoming I think free eh same ah same , twenty GB I think, but for me I I use only macam about ten GB gitu lah


ah tak banyak ah ah, I think, maybe less than ten ah maybe seven also


a southern or northern her window kaliyah asean, ah siapa namanya kahwin tu kak lia eh kak lia [kan], ah Medan ah that time so that time I think eh that no that time Medan twenty seventeen twenty fifteen eh tak tak sure ah twenty sixteen [kan]


ya lah almost four years ah


oh no I don't want upgrade it's maybe four years ah macam gitu ah, ah that's why, ah sorry again


the lowest the lowest macam fifty five dollars [jer] yang the next expensive one is I think eighty [kan] something like eighty ah ya but I don't want I don't need the what data what thirty GB all this thirty GB


oh but but that time [kan] that time I pergi tu apa challenger [kan] iphone seven


is two hundred and seven two hundred and eighty dollars I think seven ah but seven also like, also present Lobang ah no haunted, ah no contract


but, no but, SE bila dia dia ah bila keluar ah when bila release


oh oh K then


but the specs similar to uh yang which iphone, actually ada ada iphone eight plus tak ada [kan]


oh


but now they are still selling or not iphone eight, oh masih ada lagi eh


mana yang lagi mahal iphone eight or


, but, iphone eight iphone eight ada tu [kan] face face ID [kan]


I think iphone ten pon ada [kan] uh face ID


ya but now starhub plan ah the iphone eleven is cheaper than iphone X


no what are they doing, ya


oh, oh so how many ah dua kali ah one week one week dua kali ah


oh then uh how how's your job search


then , you K so like estimation by when you think you can finish the


ya, but I heard, actually now eh all the interview ah, the developer they eh you need to


proper other start looking in you will forget up things so the the technology keep changing right ya when it go, ah interview maybe yang second time ah second time dia orang suruh ambil this kind, this kind of coding test [kan]


no I mean uh bukan yang bukan MCQ tau the the one at uh what you call that , the the you must type the code inside, that one you that one tak boleh search apa online


I think they asking the maybe they ask the approach right like how


okay, so actually I I think you know right this monster dot com, ah I think they really keep calling you know


yesterday there's ada satu interview eh recruiter [kan], it's like, very pushy ah so like, like you know like you ask them to call back [kan] abeh dia cakap ah no only two minutes macam a bit annoying ah you know


then like the salary like they ask very low then it's like my expectation lowest is like five hundred more than five hundred dollars more than, ah what is the maximum lah the so called maximum but I think


I think better try to be firm ah [kan] because there's no point you find a job that is lower pay than, I mean if the pay is worse than your present job then


it's it's a bit ah pointless [kan], so like, orang melayu cakap jangan apa , ah I forgot the word lowball ah something like lowball ah


no no value ah [kan]


but like the destination, aviva you know aviva insurance, ya but but most, most of the job dia orang cakap !aiya! it's like contract it's not really ah


it's not permanent ah but actually because if those who no bonus then they should offer higher pay right


be eager to you know ya, join the company like this, ah mostly, full time but because sekarang [kan] I teach tuition [kan]


so tuition, but ya that's why, no but tuition only left lagi dua bulan ah until october [kan] O level atau N level [kan]


so that time middle of october [kan] so called most of the exam already finish, so now is middle of august right about two more months ah [kan] so actually


last week I just start this new student ah budak melayu ah budak apa N level ah N level dekat #bukit batok#, I think one or two weeks before ah two weeks before


but there's N level there's N level you know there's normal tech and also normal academic right ah so, I think the normal acad or normal I think, but I think normal tech is the earliest ah maybe can't remember


actually both both both about the same ah one week difference I think, the normal tech, !huh!, ya


no I think now they they make more centres ah I think they I think dia orang there's no way they can do in a big hall what [kan], because like the hall, it's like a big group ah then people will walk past the same place right


so I think they or or maybe the hall have but then half the what occupancy is half, then yang students yang lain all pergi normal classroom ah


I think same time ah the the whole singapore mesti same time what kalau tak later how to know that you know, ya, so actually that's why now


if work part time better lah until october, I think part time got got a a lot job ah macam yang this , data entry lah you know those


just typing on excel [kan] basic ah, ah office ah and typing or sending email those basic admin work ah, but part time


they say part time but then they like what one day half day half day everyday then weekends must work, some some I think you see the job description [kan] is not so clear like, but how come they feel part time but then they like what one day half day half day everyday then weekends you must work or some some I think you see the job description and is not so clear lack


they said that they said they said okay monday to friday the timing is I think, about five PM to ten PM ah or four PM to ten like five hours ah or four hours, then weekends full day but they say


for part time mesti commit, for two to four days a week, then when I say okay I only can do weekday then the person reply sorry we need person to commit on on weekend


ya so it's unclear ah


ya as long like okay I think there's two right so I'm not developer ah so, for me best is data analsyt atau business analyst, like but mostly mostly also must support ah because my the thing I don't like is the support evac


sometimes middle of the night they will call I mean they call you up phone phone support [kan], so phone support is a bit too much ah you know


ah that's why then but even if you work from home you still need to like, it's like like to me not much difference right kalau work from home then, they call you at late night and do the work or something


python right, I think python macam python for me is okay lah because it's a, like the code is like very simple and it's what readable [kan] it's a it's it's python programming considered high level [kan]


actually high level is the the code that macam can be readable [kan] so kalau macam if a human being baca the code, uh they use like they use words like can be understood then it's high level right


so like low level is what,


it's called ah fortran


A N ya, then what ni apa this there's this language namanya C hash eh apa C hash eh is it, is it C hash or something hash


ah C sharp


!huh! golac, G G O L A C eh, oh golang


but it's the pace is what like dia ikut which which language


, okay then, because


I don't really like to like build you know macam build all the app, building [kan], or web development, I know how to like maybe like SQL all these ah data and then maybe, a bit of support ah the support kind of role ah


because like for me last time I work in a bank [kan], twenty nineteen ah twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen I think ya, [kan]


that time I work in a bank [kan] so, so laymans [kan] the back end ah so, you know logs [kan] you know logs, L O G S ah log log


okay so you just like if let's say there's a what you call that, ah error error dia akan email [kan] so times ten [kan] times ten, go to back end and then take everything out lah


then investigate maybe SQL or something, the front part is a investigation ah, like macam need to find the what they call it the the root cause analysis, RCA but the it's like ticket ah like they say what


support and ticket and then, uh raise the ticket then, issue then if if you complete then they close ah, then last what you call that analyse ah whether the same issue might repeat again you know


to me it's it's quite interesting or it's it's quite a, like enriching to do this kind of work but yang tak suka is the I really benci is support twenty four seven on the phone ah


how do they expect you call me at four AM right and then I can think straight and execute whatever you ask me to do right you know


for me because I'm the support so it's like, in the bank it's called uh run the bank ah not change the bank so run the bank run the bank means , it means that the the app is ongoing ah you understand like it's not a project ah that means the project already finish that means it's live ah live product being used by users ah
