I mean like, yeah that's your, cause he's the father, but to them is normal language what, it's like Hokkien, it's like, Wakaligong is just a language lor


it's just a Hokkien language lor it's not very offensive one what, I mean I mean like, I mean like I don't know majority of the Singaporeans talk like that because


I don't know, I don't know ah I also don't know what I saying, , I think I think


I think it's fine, we're not we didn't even find a topic we're just mixing everything together


oh we can okay you know what you know go to the dearie community, that that part okay we read okay, and we see what are some of the things they talk about and then let's discuss from there,


okay let me find, , have you, !huh!, , no no no wait


err did you did you do the surveys actually I mean do you do the polls, polls, !huh! why you never do, I would want to see what people say sia then I go and, that's the point what


okay very curious how often do you guys wash your reusable mask reusable mask do you use reuse reusable mask, you use the disposable one ah, so you use the disposable one, actually right you know the one that you bought for me the


the box one I think I think it's not, it's not thick eh oh ya my mum say ask you to buy back mask when you come back, no I don't I think can but like


she she wants the pink colour one , no that time <mandarin>你给我那个粉红色:ni gei wo na ge fen hong se</mandarin> one what


yeah, (uh huh) and then a black one right, ah, , but you but I have I have two packs of two packets of <mandarin>粉红色的:fen hong se de</mandarin> leh


oh I don't know, that's true , okay okay but anyway ya though I think the box one right it's not it's not three ply leh I think it's like one ply only


but it feels very, is very it feels very thin compared to the other surgical mask I have, or like compared to the other grey one or the black one, oh then maybe the black one, oh I like the black one and the grey one maybe you can bring back the grey and black one if you have


the reusable mask


reusable mask, ya so the disposable one I ask you to get the black one for me


why she buy from where, the black and red one is it, then the box one leh


damn funny, it's like I say you the black one then is your, is your sister then the grey one is your mom then the box is your dad , I'll give you


oh then did Phoebe Amber Button get you any, okay okay back to, back to my question, my dearie question let me find it


hold on ah, yeah how oh then that means is not applicable already cause they asking how often do you guys wash your reusable mask, after each use or everyday


or every two days, I mean every the the days is days slash uses okay, every three once a week when it looks dirty when I remember to wash it, never bracket added don't wear better actually


and, still got one more used to use disposable masks but eh please try not to, can eco friendly a bit, yeah that's twenty per cent


ya okay let me find something, there's like some cause most of it is like relationships one so im trying to find non relationships one,


okay relationship is fine just not the you know the extreme kind, , how important uh no this one is not applicable to you, needs to a girl


(hmm) hold on ah, oh you know there's the Burple and entertainment membership right, the one where you know, that time there's this Burple <mandarin>爷爷的:ye ye de</mandarin> food one the food and the entertainment one


ya okay so like, I wanted to know what are your views on splitting the bill, when it comes to using your own Burple entertainment membership with friends, was wondering since it is not cheap to get the membership in the first place


ya so ownself absorbed the full price of membership split the bill evenly with friends this is one option, another option is split bill evenly then ask your friends to pay extra two to five dollar for the membership fees, and then last one is no friends I eat and pay everything myself


no you don't even have the app in the first place, then what do you have, then you never use it when you're with me


then what is the difference between the, (uh huh), oh so that means that means you <mandarin>你没有花钱买那个:ni mei you hua qian mai na ge</mandarin> membership lah


yeah lah then that's not called having Burple what, [orh] okay okay okay no cause I thought like usually <mandarin>你要找哪里吃你直接:ni yao zhao na li chi ni zhi jie</mandarin> Google <mandarin>就可以了:jiu ke yi le</mandarin> what why would you need an app to find that for you


thing <mandarin>会:hui</mandarin> direct you to Burple, (uh huh) [orh] so you'd rather just straight away go to the app and use it, oh okay


which which date is that I might as well just go to that one cause I cannot focus, okay, ya continue


, I haven't reach there yet, only <mandarin>只有那两个:zhi you na liang ge</mandarin> option ah


uh, which is what, the question the question is the, the question is she she's being annoying because she is pregnant is it


no, no, I will be like like that everyone get pregnant also lah Sua, then what if everyone pregnant at the same time, !aiya! that one not nice not fun another one is err


okay does anyone find it annoying when people want to eat supper but still keep complaining !wah! very sinful sia, [orh] example, like I can't decide whether want to eat because they think it's sinful, then ask them don't eat they say they hungry or mouth itchy, then like you want eat then eat lah scared sinful then don't eat simple


anyone else agree or is it I sensitive, so basically people always when you want to eat supper they say it's very sinful, then you ask them don't eat lah then if you tell them don't eat they will say like


oh but I very hungry my mouth itchy, then he's like the person is like saying like, oh, you want to eat then you eat lah if you scared sinful then don't eat lah so simple, so the question the question is anyone else agree or are you sensitive


, actually it depends if I don't like the person right when he when when they talk like that [orh] I will just be like damn annoying, ha


like how to say


oh ya lah if it's annoying then I'll just be like, but sometimes you hang out in a group, sometimes you hang out in a group so like he's not actually your friend


sounds like sounds like, Andy, like Andy <mandarin>每次:mei ci</mandarin> hor like <mandarin>我们要吃东西:wo men yao chi dong xi</mandarin> right then <mandarin>他就:ta jiu</mandarin> like, !aiya! not very hungry then right, he will take all the food, yeah he'll eat then I'll be like


but lucky, sometimes he does sometimes he doesn't, it's like I don't know like I'll be like


then like, like you know cause like friends you need to act like, just one whole thing one leh


okay, okay, weekends, about


okay, so given the current situation most weddings now are live stream, I find myself suddenly invited to a few of these last minute Zoom solemnizations where I'm more of an acquaintance acquaintance than friend how much #ang bao# will you give to the Zoom couple now


#ang bao#, , there's like okay zero to fifty fifty to hundred hundred to hundred and fifty or same as pre COVID or say busy then don't need give


no but then <mandarin>他是讲他讲他是:ta shi jiang ta jiang ta shi</mandarin> acquaintance, like <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> like <mandarin>哦我认识你你认识我这样:o wo ren shi ni ni ren shi wo zhe yang</mandarin> lor that kind of thing, I think so,


but then, ya but oh real wedding <mandarin>不知道:bu zhi dao</mandarin> right


[orh] then like that real wedding <mandarin>你就你完全不要给也可以:ni jiu ni wan quan bu yao gei ye ke yi</mandarin> what, ya then you will know how much you give already what you will have to put your amount there also what


oh


oh, or just straight away just get married uh don't need the ceremony


[orh] my side one don't have already leh supposedly supposed to have one, then, then they cancel it, like my elder sister


ya, ya the older one, but don't have the ceremony


!huh! hi bye I wouldn't even give leh


then give <mandarin>零快:ling kuai</mandarin> lor, you say <mandarin>领导五十:ling dao wu shi</mandarin> what, pre COVID


okay lah but less money


, !huh!, oh ya for real friends lah, okay, let me find some are you are you finding


he just literally


he literally just would you rather again, that irony


no no no this one this one very funny my thirteen year old, boy is still into soft toys and hugs them to sleep every night help is it normal I really don't like soft toys though it's normal what yucks is not normal


no but you don't have it


no as in <mandarin>他如果他自己睡的时候:ta ru guo ta zi ji shui de shi hou</mandarin> what, okay <mandarin>他自己睡的时候他有:ta zi ji shui de shi hou ta you</mandarin> soft toy


yeah it's not a <mandarin>批号:pi hao</mandarin> it's just a habit, what if your your your soft toy is those like big banana you know <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> you win at the funfair that one can act as bolster what


but it's soft, okay, bolsters got no character to it but <mandarin>那种有:na zhong you</mandarin> character soft toy has a character to it, okay <mandarin>一分钟了一:yi fen zhong le yi</mandarin> yeah


okay <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> end Liao uh, okay bye


hello, okay


so <mandarin>我最近:wo zui jin</mandarin> hor <mandarin>在研究一个:zai yan jiu yi ge</mandarin> adult learning <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> program, and I'm happen to come across this word called andragogy, I'm not sure whether you heard it before


, oh is a new word ah, because hor


I am not very sure like is this supposed to be old or a new thing and you know that we have been using pedagogy right


[orh], because <mandarin>我发觉到最近为什么我会要:wo fa jue dao zui jin wei shen me wo hui yao</mandarin> into this program as you know I've been teaching some adult learning during


the training hours I realise that


but I realize if I change another method I share with them in a real life experience, rather than I talk I will usually ask them to share, can you share with us what have you come through so the whole environment become more lively and they are


easier to understand what is on the paper what are we going to teach is that, like the idea


, then <mandarin>你刚才讲:ni gang cai jiang</mandarin> full time <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> part time students the different right what if the full time student is an adult learner


(mmhmm), , because this is also


because this is also, from my colleague, the background of the learners like in the current situation that we are facing in Singapore right in the same class you may have different people


so how can we better customize these to the different people, to me it's doable lah <mandarin>你就把它变成:ni jiu ba ta bian cheng</mandarin> small group and then customize and tailored


, and then <mandarin>我也是最近在读两本书:wo ye shi zui jin zai du liang ben shu</mandarin> hor about, andragogy, I realised there's one term very catch my eye which I agree also because they were saying, pedagogy and andragogy they're not supposed to be oppositional there should be


synergies, yes, so, is you should to be effective in the effective training you are supposed to combine andragogy and pedagogy at times and one of the main reason <mandarin>是因为现在的:shi yin wei xian zai de</mandarin> learner maybe <mandarin>我们的环境变人也变:wo men de huan jing bian ren ye bian</mandarin> so learners also evolved


agree, I think this is a very interesting way that we should or in fact


among the sixteen to seventeen years old for examples you can see, just now you mention that the traditional students supposed to be homogeneous like <mandarin>一样一样:yi yang yi yang</mandarin> right <mandarin>因为他们的:yin wei ta men de</mandarin> background


level can be very different also


so <mandarin>如果我们还是:ru guo wo men hai shi</mandarin> continue to do the pedagogy way like I say just now, we may lose some of them along the way lor


okay you very good just now what you said you sparks my thought, yeah yeah you spark my thought <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> I think <mandarin>这样子会比较:zhe yang zi hui bi jiao</mandarin> effective


then for me to check whether you have understand and how would you apply this in your real life situation or even in the workplace in the future so we can do the andragogy method like


educator, you know they are not changing their mindset, but to us it should supposed to be learning is always a two way situation, whereby we will learn


we will teach


so, this is also one of the common hurdle that I've been hearing from my peers or my own experience


, I'm just curious I just want to hear from your opinion ah


, okay,


(mmhmm)


(mmhmm), okay <mandarin>因为因为我就是有听到这样子的:yin wei yin wei wo jiu shi you ting dao zhe yang zi de</mandarin> feedback, from <mandarin>一些朋友因为可是我自己本身呢就比较:yi xie peng you yin wei ke shi wo zi ji ben shen ne jiu bi jiao</mandarin> boring


or go for the lesson on the whole weekend those type


level is it or whichever environment I still prefer discussion based


err let's say got exam I will be able to do the exam more effectively if I understand the context but you know that certain thing is required memorization right my memorization skill is not good


but like you mention <mandarin>很多人就是很多不同:hen duo ren jiu shi hen duo bu tong</mandarin> so this is the main challenges in the educational world nowadays I would believe


as you can see also we are moving towards more and more adult learning as compared to then and <mandarin>因为这个:yin wei zhe ge</mandarin> pandemic <mandarin>也是促使到更多人需要:ye shi cu shi dao geng duo ren xu yao</mandarin> upgrade


yes totally <mandarin>因为如果是为了学习学习他们的:yin wei ru guo shi wei le xue xi xue xi ta men de</mandarin> motivation <mandarin>比较高然后他们就会想要知道更多:bi jiao gao ran hou ta men jiu hui xiang yao zhi dao geng duo</mandarin> like how you can apply the thing in your life in your work


but <mandarin>如果是他们为了工作学习很多:ru guo shi ta men wei le gong zuo xue xi hen duo</mandarin> as you can see in the younger generation also, they just want to get the piece of paper, but then they may encounter problem when they are in the task force


whereby


, and of course with the use of technology, we also need to think about


so so this is something that in education, we also have to think about


how about adult learners in the sense that <mandarin>他们不是很:ta men bu shi hen</mandarin> IT savvy


so this is also another hurdle when you say to launch technology into the


adult learning arena so that's that's what I think lah


, you know pedagogy as taught, in a lot of


ways right I mean in a lot of channels, so


so <mandarin>大家都讲说:da jia dou jiang shuo</mandarin> oh <mandarin>你说学习你说去读书:ni shuo xue xi ni shuo qu du shu</mandarin> at or when we talk about education then they will just say that teacher teach I just sit there and listen


I just sit there and listen it should be I am involved in my own learning


and then <mandarin>我自己有:wo zi ji you</mandarin> try <mandarin>过好几次其实那个:guo hao ji ci qi shi na ge</mandarin> feedback from the students whether being adult or the traditional students are quite positive because they find it new they find it interesting they find it, err


I can take part, that's why I truly agree that


, but then <mandarin>我不会说:wo bu hui shuo</mandarin> I know everything I will always


like we always humbly tell people err we are learning for each other but to me is really I learn from each other so, I enjoy teaching is because, it will be a very, good sessions for me to learn


from my learners of what I didn't know as well, so the two ways learning is very important, yes you were saying that the main challenge is what if I am not good enough in this area to convey the message or to bring it through to them


so, from our part we have to do our job we have to do sufficient research err talk to the relevant or related, internship <mandarin>让自己更了解这个:rang zi ji geng liao jie zhe ge</mandarin> feel


the challenges can be


reduced or minimised so that the whole learning environment is more conducive


I I will think that it's really challenging ah


so I am not wrong


then I realise hor the main issue is not about the policy the main issue is about, how she brought across the idea and the communication that


the communication of body language that she use, (mmhmm)


, and because of <mandarin>这样子的一个:zhe yang zi de yi ge</mandarin> sharing from the learners right to also spark us one thought, in a learning institution or in a learning environment, is it just purely to deliver


content


tackle certain issues and those issues are mainly soft skills or we call it like you mentioned interpersonal skill, it's not something that, the school has been teaching us


right, but then you can see that, the


so this is the reason why a lot of people that they used to comment what's the point going to school whereby a lot of thing that in work it was not taught in school


, and because of this actually we also cannot forget that, learning


so <mandarin>如果是你有:ru guo shi ni you</mandarin> conduct training <mandarin>给你公司的人这样子也算是:gei ni gong si de ren zhe yang zi ye suan shi</mandarin> adult learning ah, the different teaching, methods the theory in order to ensure


so if, it's very important for everyone to know about or the educator to know about different ways to be


better in engaging the learners <mandarin>要不然的话我们可以做再多的东西可是:yao bu ran de hua wo men ke yi zuo zai duo de dong xi ke shi</mandarin> eventually the whole, workforce is not being lifted


so from a start I was thinking, and definitely, we can expect that the


feedback given will be very different, two ends result


learner <mandarin>了解到:liao jie dao</mandarin> the learning world is very different nowadays


and hard skills which are all the content or theory, should be in compliment to each other so that's the intention of the programme


but of course when this is the start there will be a lot of hurdle because nobody knows, what is it exactly about


exam


carry out something that is very fixed to the reality that is really real life, so the assessment part is definitely one of the important, things


I am doing is exactly sorry what you are learning is exactly what I will be doing in real life


err improve


, eh ya so maybe you want to share a little bit about the current program that you are organising


ya, <mandarin>这个字:zhe ge zi</mandarin> andragogy I think what they are trying to say is that it is more towards what we have been doing at work err in terms of the teaching pedagogy, but <mandarin>他现在这个方东西呢就是:ta xian zai zhe ge fang dong xi ne jiu shi</mandarin> focused on adult


so in a simpler way is more towards like, adult pedagogy so this is I think is a new term that they have, term it in the university there, combined these two


adult pedagogy into one word which is called like andragogy lor


I, what, from from what I understand <mandarin>这个这个字已经已经存在很久了:zhe ge zhe ge zi yi jing yi jing cun zai hen jiu le</mandarin> but it's just that in Singapore, uh it was not , widely used err is because probably in terms of adult learning we only pick up


I think maybe, five or six years ago


full time <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> student I think because first thing is that they are not they are not full time they are here just to study part time


so I think you we may need to restructure the way that err we try to deliver the content to them so that it is not been seen that it is too one way direction lor


uh I, uh before you even teach them


yeah their level of understanding is also very different


so I think and more importantly is that, throughout this whole learning the motivation behind full time learner versus part time learner are actually very different


so we need to, I think we need to understand what is their err motivation behind


ya the full time student is a adult learner but then again we call


as usual we we have to also understand is that err as a as a educator or as a facilitator


ya so so you cannot you cannot, you cannot just rely on one person and then you you change the whole teaching methodology, yeah you were you were saying something


but <mandarin>不好的话就是你必须要:bu hao de hua jiu shi ni bi xu yao</mandarin>


so it is not like a one size fit all solution whereby I think because if you look at just, full time student, err it is easier because all of them are actually having like a more err homogeneous type of background


because all of them are actually progressing upward, so so the thing is that they are quite homogeneous but when you bring it to adult learner first thing is that their age will be quite varies


so in terms of the age gap, it's actually very wide and that also determine their level of understanding their maturity as far as their level of ability to comprehend


ya so so, it is more challenging in a sense because


complimentary


sure so I, so I think that we cannot run away


with all the lesson that are just purely on group discussion <mandarin>或者:huo zhe</mandarin> peer sharing, <mandarin>或者或者:huo zhe huo zhe</mandarin> interaction there will still be occasion where, we need to adopt a more a frontal teaching type of approaches


so in terms of that then maybe the usual, pedagogy style, you will be able to be used as compared to the, the andragogy whereby


err different different learners may have to be suited for different style but the thing is that there is no one size fit all type of solution


then also that method you may probably still may have to rely back to pedagogy style


, yeah


in in the whether is a homogeneous or not at least there is a good mixture, of different style of lesson delivery so that


purely focused on one or two different learner school


they have to see themselves more like a facilitator, and not, and not the focal point where, this person who is standing in front of the class is the domain expert, in the knowledge that is going to be err shared


so unlike in the traditional approach whereby the person who is standing in front in the in the traditional classroom setting, is the one that knows everything, but in a adult learner I


experienced in terms of their age in terms of their working experience so if the if the person who is standing in front still continue to see himself as the teacher or as an educator then I think the stress is upon the, the educator to deliver but in andragogy err this is a totally different err structure in a sense that


err the learner themselves should also be seen as an educator, so, the, the challenge and I would say maybe, the the ability of the facilitator to bring out


the knowledge in every learner so that, different people have the opportunity to share I think that is the that is the crux of this whole andragogy


educator, to do a sudden shift from their normal pedagogy delivery to andragogy so, I think that that need to get a a mindset shift, err in looking at this perspective lor


<mandarin>赞同说:zan tong shuo</mandarin> <mandarin>教学的方方式呢就不单单只是:jiao xue de fang fang shi ne jiu bu dan dan zhi shi</mandarin> err one way communication it should be more on group based discussion based


when you visit the educational institution it is on a weekend and, you do not need to juggle between your work at that point of time so I think in terms of your attention span in terms of your err


err ability to absorb, content will be, higher, as compared to you uh going for night classes or during the weekday, so if you ask me I think just <mandarin>第一就是也要:di yi jiu shi ye yao</mandarin> err <mandarin>因个人而已第二也是要因环境:yin ge ren er yi di er ye shi yao yin huan jing</mandarin> err <mandarin>而改变:er gai bian</mandarin> lor


(uh huh)


, normal frontal teaching


group discussion ah <mandarin>或者这些:huo zhe zhe xie</mandarin> facilitation


so the the good thing about frontal teaching and frontal downloading is that, err ideally the person who is standing in front is in the capacity to to deliver and to make it


so with that at least, more people will be able to understand with some of the example that is being given


but <mandarin>刚才你所讲的就是:gang cai ni suo jiang de jiu shi</mandarin> because of this COVID nineteen a lot of people


are actually be be forced to, to take up new job and because of their new job requirement, they need to be emplaced for certain training and certain courses, so that is also a very good case study in a sense how do we


identify, what is their learning motivation, and, and their, and the, and the way that they want to acquire the knowledge


so with these two different or even more case reasons coming up


that actually will present a group of different learner, with different motivation and and learning preference, yeah


because now the learning spaces are no longer just uh restricted to physical classroom because of this pandemic a lot of , teaching and discussion have to be done online, so that that will put a question to the future


err, teaching pedagogy as such that, err frontal teaching or physical classroom, <mandarin>就不是重点了:jiu bu shi zhong dian le</mandarin> it's no longer the the emphasis, and also because of this, pandemic is also escalate


in the, in the, in the pathway towards err, , adult learning , lifelong learning skill upgrading job retraining, but the the whole challenge now is that err


err are they ready, for this influx of new technology as far as this new learners' environment


ya but


err we cannot take home based learning as a as a default environment setting whereby every learner


will be able to do so, and even if they are able to do so, uh does their living environment, uh conducive enough for them to do so why because some may have issues at home with parents or even some may stay in rental rental apartment


err environment may be noisy tenant may be rowdy so all these actually, err, add on to the to the challenge of not only just, the pedagogy or andragogy


, correct so I think as what you mentioned I think the, the the those adult


ya I think this is something that is really true because err some of the adult learners when you actually ask them to


they are first first thing is that their learning needs and their learning ability are are quite quite different and are quite extreme on on both ends, so no matter how you try to cater, there will always be


possibility that, any particular group of the donors are not able to, to be emphasized and to some point maybe neglected because, learning, their learning


environment and their learning needs are


, your your adult learners as well as to share with your colleague


but do you do you receive, err <mandarin>知识或者你自己的工作经验不到位:zhi shi huo zhe ni zi ji de gong zuo jing yan bu dao wei</mandarin> so that so actually you also will doubt yourself whether are you the best person to deliver


will you have this thinking


, but will you also face a issue whereby


learner especially adult learner, that they, that when they presents issues to you not just study issues lah can be there work issues all that


example


is more towards the communications, the communication style and maybe communication skill, , yeah that I think at that is I think I also another important point in the sense is that


that's so much that we can teach, but


I will say this is the interpersonal skills and it is the on the job training that you need to acquire the knowledge because


to be honest, the even I can share with you one theory but how this theory apply, to different work setting different learners or different worker will have the different interpretation


ya so I think the the the greatest challenge err for for adult learners is that, how can we, in their classroom teach them, so that they can connect the dot


according to the to the theory, and their actual working environment, so that that also bring it back to <mandarin>他们这个他们的学习的这个进度或者他们的这些:ta men zhe ge ta men de xue xi de zhe ge jin du huo zhe ta men de zhe xie</mandarin> err motivation because at the end of the day


I think for for some adult learners who has been working for so long, probably unless unless they are due for promotion or what, otherwise if they just come to the class to acquire knowledge


they will be more appreciative that


the connecting the dot and uh, err relevance and the application part, that is very important in the adult err pedagogy or the andragogy err, concept


but I think they should also look at, err


so I think at a certain point the educator or even the learner, they need to take certain I will say is self responsibility that yes these are the content that you are learning in school


but there are also important life skills, err, content that are not, not taught in class but it is err the unspoken practice


in the workplace that you need to adhere to, or I think more importantly is also because of the family upbringing and how how their parents, can actually


support them or even guide them because at some point of time, the adult learners may have the issue especially for the younger one that, whenever


so so when, and and the thing is that if this type of younger adult learner, uh have, this option to, to avoid, so in the end they are actually not learning and what is the main uh what is one of the contributing factor in the sense is that it is their parent


yeah,


, ya so I think at the end of the day when we when we look into adult learning <mandarin>或者:huo zhe</mandarin> andragogy, err it is not so straightforward that as compared to like those full time


to a program where, your learning ability is more towards your individual and maybe some other tuitions the contributing factor but


that we are trying to look into, learners' environment learners' needs and even their growing environment and even err


the IT and the software peripherals together are they able to to support it but, I think another aspect that we should also look into is that err is the industry, ready to absorb


all these err transaction


so, so that is that is also, a challenge in the industry that


the industry themselves need to believe, in this whole course of adult learning, and in this whole course of Skillsfuture or, or upgrading


because then then then that also brings to the relevance of the content delivery


whether whether the content being taught in class, are they useful to the learners or are we just, creating a program for the sake of creating, in the in the name of


adult learning or in the name of, of upgrading all that so, that also have to really, boils down, to the, to the relevancies of of the programme itself


but at while you are doing this called, , oh when you are going to create this program, uh, how do you feel whether are the learners err are they more acceptive to this or even when your colleague when you want to share with them on this uh adult adult learning or this err adult pedagogy


err or andragogy what is their what is their opinion on this,


but then again then would you then, relook into, the assessment models that


so I think, we also need to look into what is the, what is the end outcome of this, is it for another, paper qualification


then the, I would say the whole mindset and the whole, thinking behind this crafting of this new programme, will, will actually take a different perspective and different stand


if we are able to, answer to ourselves, or achieve, err what is the outcome


, yeah


what is the what is the end outcome of this program that you want to derive, so that you can better cater and to the certain extent is that do we even need assessment, ya so so because it is more like apprenticeship base


so, at the end of the day right err it is more that, I don't need you to score hundred mark but if you can perform your task, err, do the necessary thing at work, whether you can write a beautiful essays or not that actually will not be


will not be in my consideration at all because you may be very articulative in the in the way that you write


yeah


okay bye bye


okay, ya ya, ya I can I can


ah so we start now ah, okay eh Fong how are you, good ah, !huh! same old lor <mandarin>老样子:lao yang zi</mandarin> lah


looking for a job is my full time job now , all over the place lah I mean I I cast my net very wide lor like translator yoga instructor sales business development all industries everything basically full time part time you know


ya, uh, and what ah indeed then there is also this my careers future


and then there are those apps also like fast jobs uh finding jobs those are more for blue collar those odd jobs


ya ya, , ya ya english to mandarin or mandarin to english also can


that's one type that one is more what they refer to as interpreter so it's like whatever you speak then someone will speak then the the audience will will listen through the ah ear earpiece, that that's one type


<mandarin>对啊对啊:dui a dui a</mandarin> but <mandarin>我觉得像我来讲因为我的:wo jue de xiang wo lai jiang yin wei wo de</mandarin> mandarin <mandarin>比较:bi jiao</mandarin> strong lah <mandarin>所以我做:suo yi wo zuo</mandarin> english to mandarin <mandarin>我会比较:wo hui bi jiao</mandarin> comfortable, ah ah <mandarin>好像我:hao xiang wo</mandarin> ah mandarin to english


!wah! I I'll be struggling to find the accurate english words, whereas for mandarin is easier for me you know I mean I can just like pick and choose any words


ya ya and then, correct correct, I think most singaporeans are like that correct


uh uh ya lor ya lor, mostly to friends lah yoga yoga mostly I I got an ad in uh carousell so is because it's actually I started posting the the ad since ah CB so that time is more to to conduct via zoom and all that so


but !aiya! funny lah a lot of jokers also I mean <mandarin>他们每次都好像都是来问爽得这样子:ta men mei ci dou hao xiang dou shi lai wen shuang de zhe yang zi</mandarin> lor <mandarin>就就来:jiu jiu lai</mandarin> message <mandarin>我问了一大堆问题:wo wen liao yi da dui wen ti</mandarin> then <mandarin>结果又又没有消息没有:jie guo you you mei you xiao xi mei you</mandarin> for example like


uh, could be one to one could be good group one also, up to them, one to one minimum I will start with twenty lor


ah ah, ah ten dollars per pax, ah ah


, ah correct correct, ya ya, just that the the more ah sorry sorry go ahead


, ya ya but but my original intention is to conduct it online via zoom


not not very comfortable with zoom lah, because like, <mandarin>我觉得好像因为我跟我旁边的朋友谈:wo jue de hao xiang yin wei wo gen wo pang bian de peng you tan</mandarin> Nah <mandarin>读书还是觉得他们比较喜欢那种去那个:du shu hai shi jue de ta men bi jiao xi huan na zhong qu na ge</mandarin> studio <mandarin>因为他们是觉得它可以看的比较清楚然后有什么东西老师也可以:yin wei ta men shi jue de ta ke yi kan de bi jiao qing chu ran hou you shen me dong xi lao shi ye ke yi</mandarin> you know help to adjust and all that whereby zoom I can only talk you through it whether you know <mandarin>你有:ni you</mandarin> adjust <mandarin>到没有:dao mei you</mandarin> then you know <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> up to individual lor


correct correct ya,


, I think quite okay lah I mean those yoga studio because I I'm the member of true yoga so their their are classes are always full, cause they limit the capacity each class like only got a few people also


, uh no leh now now I do ah online classes mostly cause like pure yoga they have our free lessons online you can go to their instagram


uh uh <mandarin>每个人都可以去看的:mei ge ren dou ke yi qu kan de</mandarin> anytime, it is up there ya ya, ya lor I was quite surprised cause <mandarin>因为开始我以为他们只是:yin wei kai shi wo yi wei ta men zhi shi</mandarin> CB <mandarin>的时候才才:de shi hou cai cai</mandarin> free <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> mah then <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> you know like people can go out already they they still have it up there

, [orh] [orh], uh uh


uh uh, oh, uh uh, ah


ah ah correct correct ah ah, ah ah, oh okay


uh uh


ah ah ah ah ya lor ya lor, ah ah ah correct correct


where no leh I don't know where is it


ah ah oh okay, ah ah, ah ah


ah, oh is it


and, ah ah okay okay, good good, ha


uh uh, uh uh, uh, uh


oh okay okay, uh uh uh, uh uh


uh uh [orh] okay okay <mandarin>好:hao</mandarin> ah, , uh uh [orh] okay okay <mandarin>等一下我去:deng yi xia wo qu</mandarin> try


push up I can't I'm not not like very very proper lah I I can go down I can I have problem coming up my come up is a bit weird not a really proper one


ya I read online ha that that like <mandarin>有一些:you yi xie</mandarin> techniques you you have to follow one so for example !huh! like when you do you you originally you are at plank right so at plank then your shoulder is somewhat above your arms then when you go down ah you want to go down then you need to


ah shift your body forward a bit that means your shoulder will be over your your arms, ya but at the same time you'll have to make sure like your toes, your toes are not, your your sole ah your sole <mandarin>就是你的你的:jiu shi ni de ni de</mandarin> toes <mandarin>跟你的:gen ni de</mandarin> sole <mandarin>中间不是还有:zhong jian bu shi hai you</mandarin> it's <mandarin>有有肉的地方:you you rou de di fang</mandarin> lor <mandarin>那个地方你要踩在地上:na ge di fang ni yao cai zai di shang</mandarin> you have to be planted firmly on the ground <mandarin>因为有时候好像有:yin wei you shi hou hao xiang you</mandarin> you you shift forward ah your body shift forward then


all your weight is on your toes it shouldn't be it should be a bit on the the sole part also you know what I mean


ah ah ah


but why why would your hands slide forward which part of your hand, ah, eh, it can't be ah


how how can that be !huh!, ah ah ah correct


ah okay okay, uh uh, [orh] [orh] you you alignment hor then that's the alignment issue


uh uh, [orh], uh


and another thing I read is that they said you know when we try to do the push up, you at the I I watched on videos lah some explanation they said it's not just your hands you'll have to use your


legs and your core muscles to pull yourself up also it's not just your hands, so basically is a whole body your whole body <mandarin>大家都在努力:da jia dou zai nu li</mandarin> push yourself up, ah the one I'm still trying to figure out


you have to like ya lor you you'll need to consciously use all the muscles to pull you out,


ya lor, oh ya ya that one was very tough, ya ya, but like that you can or maybe you can start with table top first so from table top then you slowly you know push yourself down


go down and push up ah ah, [orh], [orh] then then you need to learn to use your core and leg also lor


much more than usual leh <mandarin>像以前好像:xiang yi qian hao xiang</mandarin> you know one week <mandarin>做几:zuo ji</mandarin> err <mandarin>两三次:liang san ci</mandarin> now is like you know <mandarin>我每天都在做:wo mei tian dou zai zuo</mandarin> leh


I I have a like sort of a fixed routine, err so about <mandarin>来好像:lai hao xiang</mandarin> uh five PM <mandarin>这样子我就会开始做:zhe yang zi wo jiu hui kai shi zuo</mandarin> lor then <mandarin>我现在我我有在:wo xian zai wo wo you zai</mandarin> follow <mandarin>一个一个:yi ge yi ge</mandarin> online <mandarin>的一个:de yi ge</mandarin> video <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> gym instructor lah from hong kong


then <mandarin>他的都是比较短的:ta de dou shi bi jiao duan de</mandarin> lor <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> maybe ah ten minutes on arms ten minutes on abs so <mandarin>我都:wo dou</mandarin> follow <mandarin>他那种:ta na zhong</mandarin> short videos lor


, ya ya ya, not so much leh, not so much my cardio is maybe once a week err <mandarin>我会去:wo hui qu</mandarin> #bukit timah# <mandarin>那边:na bian</mandarin> lor trek <mandarin>一下就差不多是我的:yi xia jiu cha bu duo shi wo de</mandarin> cardio lah uh uh


[orh], not so much leh sometimes I'm like I'm so lazy to go out you know <mandarin>好像我要出去的话:hao xiang wo yao chu qu de hua</mandarin> I I rather you know go somewhere further


ya ya <mandarin>我我好像有半年没有:wo wo hao xiang you ban nian mei you</mandarin> swim <mandarin>了:liao</mandarin> leh, ya ya, , correct correct and it's full body also like all your hands and legs uh uh


, okay lah okay lah maybe I will <mandarin>应该:ying gai</mandarin> lah <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> lah, why


uh uh, uh, ah ah correct correct, oh


uh, then then you can try you know like usually <mandarin>人人家都是好像:ren ren jia dou shi hao xiang</mandarin> like one stroke then come out once then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> just try <mandarin>一下就可能:yi xia jiu ke neng</mandarin> you know two strokes then come up once


[orh], okay okay, I see,


uh uh, uh, oh, ah ah


nonsense lah I learn after I came out to work leh I learned like much older than you and I'm like twenty four twenty five leh <mandarin>更老:geng lao</mandarin> leh,


you, ah correct correct,


!huh!,


then then maybe you know <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> try <mandarin>就是以后以后运动的时候:jiu shi yi hou yi hou yun dong de shi hou</mandarin> wear knee guard lor I think you help leh like <mandarin>因为我我去好像:yin wei wo wo qu hao xiang</mandarin> trek the <mandarin>时候:shi hou</mandarin> I also wear knee guards, really helps, ya ya have to


cause I I hurt my knees before, too strenuous lor like I went to this trek and then the the guide the is a online lah someone like online they organise this trekking trip nowadays very popular so <mandarin>那个人他自己也是没有去过那个地方:na ge ren ta zi ji ye shi mei you qu guo na ge di fang</mandarin> also have no experience don't know what to expect and all that so


like, ya so so the place is actually very , how to say ah we need to like <mandarin>要走过那些小河:yao zou guo na xie xiao he</mandarin> ah <mandarin>那种小:na zhong xiao</mandarin> sea ya so is very wet then my, no in malaysia


but I wasn't warn so the the shoes I I worn waterproof, so the means like water cannot go in but once you water because we trekked through river and all that so in the end water did go in but when water go in water cannot come out because this waterproof so it's like I was like trekking with lag lor is very heavy very heavy so there's like and then still very strenuous the terrain also you know <mandarin>很斜很斜:hen xie hen xie</mandarin> so is like too too much stress for my knee already that's how I ended up hurting my knees that time


so, two three years ago ah then after that, I felt after that <mandarin>我就开始:wo jiu kai shi</mandarin> knee guard <mandarin>穿:chuan</mandarin> knee knee guard <mandarin>了:liao</mandarin> lor


, [orh] the trek okay for other people you know that have no problem with their shoes it's like I think is like five five or six hours but for me <mandarin>我我用了差不多九个小时:wo wo yong liao cha bu duo jiu ge xiao shi</mandarin> leh because like <mandarin>我很忙我一直要脱鞋:wo hen mang wo yi zhi yao tuo xie</mandarin> you know I need to like get the water out but still it's very heavy


, okay is this specialised customised trekking boots I got it made in japan a lot of japanese, have this kind of boots when they go to Fuji mount Fuji


so is very good for gripping so mount Fuji because is you know about volcano type you know a lot of pebbles and all that so <mandarin>很滑:hen hua</mandarin> very slippery so you know like it's good to have those , boots with ah very is heavy boots with very good grip and also waterproof so sometimes like you know mount Fuji <mandarin>下雨:xia yu</mandarin> ah <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> then waterproof is very easy for you even though you know <mandarin>地上很滑什么:di shang hen hua shen me</mandarin> then you still won't won't slip so is very good for mount Fuji kind of terrain but not for tropical you know wet terrain


but because the person never brief me also ya that's why I wore the wrong shoes that's the main problem, no it didn't it's leather


, I don't know leh that one is quite okay leh very sturdy the the boots I can I can take a pictures <mandarin>我给你看:wo gei ni kan</mandarin> really quite sturdy one that one, err the making itself I think is about four or five hundred leh then pay another [orh] I pay another hundred for shipping


it's really customised one leh they really will measure my my shoes my toes and all that leh,


but I was thinking like you know once once in a lifetime one you know not like I I buy this kind of shoes, ya ya it's a it looks very sturdy lah but I haven't got much chance to to wearing <mandarin>因为很重:yin wei hen zhong</mandarin> ah


I I didn't, no no because that time, I I I got it made during my mount Fuji trip but you know for trekking boots you need to worn in you cannot like you know <mandarin>你不能去买:ni bu neng qu mai</mandarin> then immediately wear <mandarin>然后去去爬山:ran hou qu qu pa shan</mandarin> and you you cannot do it like that you need to wear the boots a few times before you go on your actual trek


cause you need to, ya ya you'll need to make it softened a bit ya ya correct correct cause your shoe your your your feet need to get used to the shoes, ah ya ya


, ya ya usually that's that's what I do but just that I read about this boot then is like !wah! you know I mean media lah they made it sound like very fanciful you know what customise lah you know


so, no brand one leh but apparently in japan like people know it lor it's like <mandarin>很小的一间店:hen xiao de yi jian dian</mandarin> like tucked in a corner on the street like like that, a very small shop ya ya <mandarin>很小很小又挤挤这样子:hen xiao hen xiao you ji ji zhe yang zi</mandarin> then ya lor <mandarin>我就进去然后他就给我一张小小椅子:wo jiu jin qu ran hou ta jiu gei wo yi zhang xiao xiao yi zi</mandarin> then I also cannot like really communicate with the with the shopkeeper you know so it's like ya a bit like gesture a bit english like that


she she even send me she even send me the the drawing of my feet you know along with the shoes is for my to keep like then next time I need to go and customise my shoes or whatever go go to italy or whatever <mandarin>我可以用同样一张:wo ke yi yong tong yang yi zhang</mandarin> ya <mandarin>可以用那个那个:ke yi yong na ge na ge</mandarin> drawing


don't play play ah very professional one, ya ya, ah cut they can do low cut also uh they got different patterns one mine is because ah is like the the


ya if you do low cut or the normal other walking shoes uh <mandarin>就比较便宜:jiu bi jiao pian yi</mandarin> lor, , it is it is ya, so


, got got got I went last week and the week before


#bukit timah# lor I usually go #bukit timah# uh uh ya, is it, usually I go there for training because is like the only place the only


terrain that is not so flat in singapore otherwise like you know <mandarin>像那个哪里:xiang na ge na li</mandarin> ah macritchie ah ya east coast are too flat already


uh, [orh], [orh] okay but I heard <mandarin>好像有时候:hao xiang you shi hou</mandarin> err especially <mandarin>最近好像很多人去:zui jin hao xiang hen duo ren qu</mandarin> lor then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> treetop treetop walk sometimes err they will close


uh uh, uh uh, I think also because like you know people


ya ya


correct correct, ya lor ya lor, oh ya hor ya hor


uh uh, uh uh ya lor ya lor, uh


[orh] [orh] okay that's good, [orh] [orh], uh uh


uh uh ya ya ya, really ah, !huh!


ah, uh, uh uh, , uh uh


ah, ah ah, uh, !huh! , !wah! Jialat leh,


oh okay !wow!, oh oh ya another thing you know the other day I also sign up to be safe distancing ambassador


ya ya ya so not because like !aiya! I tell you like I've been like looking for <mandarin>全部这种:quan bu zhe zhong</mandarin> part time are odd jobs lah just to like sort of like fill my time also you know, so err ya then apparently, my was under MOM so they said the focus is to like go err to the areas that know those foreign workers <mandarin>每次会去的像:mei ci hui qu de xiang</mandarin> lucky plaza lah peninsula plaza <mandarin>那种地方:na zhong di fang</mandarin> then to make sure they wear masks they don't crowd around you know things like that so


I was assigned to peninsula plaza so you know in the morning ya so patrol there <mandarin>威风这样:wei feng zhe yang</mandarin> lah chase away people I know you know there then after that, uh no is two weeks ago but it's just, ya but but the thing is because they actually started this recruitment quite some time ago lah when I went it happened to be the last time already lor so I only joined them for once lah but I I find it <mandarin>就是很好也是挺好玩的:jiu shi hen hao ye shi ting hao wan de</mandarin> lah is like more fun for than anything lah for me so like morning


!huh!, oh no no go ahead what what are you gonna ask, my assignment was only for sunday, uh uh then I also learned that like apparently you know like different like ministries or different because like a lot of mall owners can also go and hire their own err safe distancing ambassador so like


ya ya so like a MOM <mandarin>他有固定的地盘的:ta you gu ding de di pan de</mandarin> like you know hawker centres under NEA or you know parks under nparks some things like that so like <mandarin>每个人都有自己的:mei ge ren dou you zi ji de</mandarin> safe distancing ambassador like that ya so so so after that you know they are in the afternoon they send me to esplanade park so


ya ya they they like to picnics or a different different places like sometimes the lovers will hide in a corner or somewhere so it really like you know pointed out a lot of those you know like like secret corners to me you quite fun lah I mean


ah ensure no crowding and ensure they are wearing mask that that's about it, uh uh


too close <mandarin>就叫他们分开:jiu jiao ta men fen kai</mandarin> lor then <mandarin>不然毒素的都是教堂:bu ran du su de dou shi jiao tang</mandarin> wear mask <mandarin>因为有时候他们拍那种:yin wei you shi hou ta men pai na zhong</mandarin> Wefie ah selfie ah then <mandarin>他俩就忘记:ta liang jiu wang ji</mandarin> you know put back the masks <mandarin>就要提醒他们:jiu yao ti xing ta men</mandarin> lor, ya ya, so so actually quite fun lah I mean doing all these like odd jobs and all that really like


!huh!, per hour per hour is, uh only like eight dollars an hour not a lot lah, and it's minimum anyway


err third one it also depends but that time they they engage me for full day so is from ten to seven, uh uh ya lor ya lor


no no they they ask us to gather at Funan the food court at the basement then after that they even ah ya ya ya like because it's morning ah no no one else basically it's just you <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> lor then after that they give us a vest you know like I admit that I send you the picture because I send to my friends they that look like some special police force or what


I think depends leh depends


black it's really like police force those type lor, no is a thin vest lah but because it's black so it looks like you know ya I later I send you the picture quite fun


ya lor mine mine got uh the badge and the ah vest I think probably they wanted to be err easily identifiable ah by the foreign maids so that you know like cause like you know when I walk around like you know <mandarin>很远远他们看到我就会开始:hen yuan yuan ta men kan dao wo jiu hui kai shi</mandarin> you know <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> like very alert you can tell from their face and all that


ya lor ya lor, correct correct


ya lor ya lor <mandarin>我也不知道会不会:wo ye bu zhi dao hui bu hui</mandarin> uh uh <mandarin>因为这个是在那个:yin wei zhe ge shi zai na ge</mandarin> my careers future then <mandarin>他就是这样一个:ta jiu shi zhe yang yi ge</mandarin> ad lor <mandarin>然后然后就讲:ran hou ran hou jiu jiang</mandarin> oh interested please apply you know err err submit your resume then was like you know how <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> resume <mandarin>给这个工作有什么关系:gei zhe ge gong zuo you shen me guan xi</mandarin> I mean I also I don't know lah then then okay lah I just try anyhow lor no harm

pl, but what kind of jobs have you been searching for


!wah! actually has quite quite a lot leh that means what you send the resumes via the what linkedin is it, or <mandarin>你还是用其他的:ni hai shi yong qi ta de</mandarin> platform


okay okay, !wah! so even blue collar, !wah! blue collar <mandarin>你都有:ni dou you</mandarin> send over ah


, correct true true true !wah! you mentioned translator translator means what err english to mandarin is it


like kind !wah!, okay okay that means there's a I mean translator as in like like for example in a, conference or meeting those kind of translator ah like that will quickly like translate it to uh let's say chinese then they will input it to let the chinese audience read that kind of stuff is it


oh, okay okay okay


!wah! okay


oh english or mandarin okay, ah okay okay


!wah! okay so that means <mandarin>你的那个词库要很丰富:ni de na ge ci ku yao hen feng fu</mandarin> Wor, to actually select the correct words, !wah! I think that is quite hard leh I think for a lot of people is the other way round I think we are better in our english than our mandarin


yah, , then yoga leh what about yoga have you like really taught some yoga lessons through through zoom


(uh huh) oh, okay, (uh huh)


, so this one is like one to one lah or you do group one like ah


okay then how you charge if it's, twenty per hour ah, oh eh actually twenty !wah! is that is that considered what's the market rate like actually


okay okay so that means the, [orh] ten bucks per pax lah okay okay interesting eh but (uh huh) sorry


oh okay okay okay oh ya lah because if it's two people than <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> same lah twenty dollars mah correct right that means that it makes up for your twenty dollars lah, okay okay, but <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin>


[orh] okay okay okay


!huh! serious ah, oh


okay okay but are people actually quite open like to I don't know to do it face to face already for yoga


, oh okay okay, okay, okay okay but have you been going to the classes you're true yoga


oh okay that means even if you're not a member is also free ah, oh okay eh then that's not bad leh


, oh okay okay so that means ah <mandarin>我现在去他们:wo xian zai qu ta men</mandarin> instagram <mandarin>我我都可以看到那个以前的那些:wo wo dou ke yi kan dao na ge yi qian de na xie</mandarin> post lah <mandarin>那些:na xie</mandarin> videos, okay but I personally haven't


but haven't tried yoga lah <mandarin>你刚才讲:ni gang cai jiang</mandarin> yoga <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> what reduce the tummy ah, really


!wah! okay never never really tried yoga leh,


, ya lah


ya because I was also I'm also going to gym mah then when I go gym right like I will take the chance because you go gym <mandarin>就是要做:jiu shi yao zuo</mandarin> weights mah because they have weights there so I will do like more conditioning exercises when in the gym lah so if I let's say exercise at home then I do those with uh no equipment one


is like I can do half an hour but I never sweat


as much, like when I do those HIIT kind right that one I really I really sweat a lot so you once you sweat a lot you feel like, [orh]


okay but <mandarin>我家的:wo jia de</mandarin> dumbbell <mandarin>只是:zhi shi</mandarin> three KG, so I can't really increase, you know like you want to build you want to build up your muscles mah you want to build muscles so you've got to carry heavier weights so <mandarin>我家里只有:wo jia li zhi you</mandarin> three KG weights mah, so ya lah so it's still ya lor I still got to go to the gym to you know to to to


to do lah because <mandarin>他们那边比较多:ta men na bian bi jiao duo</mandarin> weights mah, then <mandarin>那边也是有:na bian ye shi you</mandarin> machines


ya have have have but there are some that is like more of conditioning one so that one I don't sweat as much


so yes you feel that your muscles are working like the arms <mandarin>会很很:hui hen hen</mandarin> tired lah very like fatigue, but then you don't really sweat so is like I, so I didn't really sweat at the end of the the session lah cause <mandarin>我也是看:wo ye shi kan</mandarin> I also watch youtube videos I know there are a lot of instructors they just post their videos online


uh on youtube then you just follow lor, ya but I also know is also important to like condition the muscle lah it's not all the time you must do cardio you see


okay okay, ya so so usually ya I know there are some exercise <mandarin>他们有好像:ta men you hao xiang</mandarin> like you mentioned lor like you do russian twist with uh, with the weights ah or you will do like jumping jacks and you hold weights ah that kind of thing, ya or you do lunges with weights and squats with weights


ah <mandarin>对对对那个我也是有做:dui dui dui na ge wo ye shi you zuo</mandarin> ah <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> actually ya quite actually quite quite quite tired, ya that one really sweat a lot, ah then after that <mandarin>你懂你懂:ni dong ni dong</mandarin> F forty five mah you know this gym quite popular in singapore


okay so they have a lot of branches so F forty five is like uh so basically they call it F forty five because the sessions are all like forty five minutes, so basically is like ya it's like HIIT, but I think the the pace and then the


so ya so recently they also upload like their videos uh on on youtube, so it's like at home you no need to go to the gym you also can kind of er experienced the <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> F forty five that kind of err session


so that one really quite intensive yes you can go and try !wah! that one very intensive very cardio very cardio


ya is quite if you want something if is uh you want something like you want to sweat a lot lah you can do that !wah! really very <mandarin>凶:xiong</mandarin> because their exercises like okay <mandarin>他们是:ta men shi</mandarin> okay they have different kind of ah how to say ah uh styles so they have those like for example <mandarin>可能你做:ke neng ni zuo</mandarin> thirty seconds then after that break ten seconds then <mandarin>你做:ni zuo</mandarin> the same exercise lah then <mandarin>你做:ni zuo</mandarin> thirty four seconds then <mandarin>你又:ni you</mandarin> break then you do thirty six that that means you go up that means for three sets you are doing the same exercise but <mandarin>你是做:ni shi zuo</mandarin> maybe thirty four thirty thirty four thirty eight forty for example for example


ya then after that you'll move onto the next set of exercise then is the same you repeat lor like you you do like different the timing is increase lah


ya but because the ya ya quite quite tough ah some of them I really cannot keep up like <mandarin>会会偷懒:hui hui tou lan</mandarin> lor actually I do you do you do a bit slowly because cannot ya, and I, ya eh can you do a proper push up ah


your arms


ah ya


okay but that's the thing is like I also I also realise everytime I do a push up right like you mentioned like your body needs to go a bit forward such that <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> shoulder <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> in front of your arms right, but I realise right my hands is always in front of my shoulder


like I cannot I don't know how to make it such that my hand is at least like the same position as my shoulder, usually my hand will like just slide forward lor which I think is not correct lah


no that means how to say ah that means my hand is in front that means my shoulder right is behind my hands my shoulder is not right above my hands, I know I know it's not that is I also realised I have that problem like how to say ah with high plank also


you know high plank is also your hand supposed to be below your shoulder mah, but I tend to my <mandarin>姿势:zi shi</mandarin> like I have to consciously tell myself to be to to to to be doing that because a lot of times my, like I'm like oh how to say I'm like a inverted v


like inverted ah so that my you get what I mean right my hands is behind my my hands is in front of my shoulders, I have to make a conscious effort


below my shoulders, ah <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> so that's the that's my problem so that's why <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> push up <mandarin>的时候也是有这个:de shi hou ye si you zhe ge</mandarin> issue I think maybe because <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I don't have strength lah to do or like I cannot support my weight, that's why I think I try to you know


I don't know lah do other way such that you know I can go down but that's not the the right the right way you see


, , okay okay, okay okay


ya that's why I see those videos <mandarin>那些:na xie</mandarin> instructors right even though their ladies ah !wah! but they're very good you know they really can do err like really a proper one leh then they they really do throughout their forty five seconds, then <mandarin>我去:wo qu</mandarin> !wah!, I think it's very tough leh


, incline right, ah ya lah ya lah inclined I can do I think is the the floor right really very hard very cannot do that's why I think my arms quite weak cause my arms cannot support my weight


ya that's why trying to, , okay okay !aiyo! thing, but you have you been exercising a lot like during this period


!huh! <mandarin>每天:mei tian</mandarin> ah, !wah! <mandarin>每天:mei tian</mandarin> is a lot no, oh like so what's your routine


(mmhmm),


okay okay so every day ah you have be exercising, then do you do cardio, like besides your yoga, like do go running jogging, no ah


oh trekking, okay okay oh but you go swimming because you are in the condo right,


!huh!, oh my god , actually I know they say err like swimming is actually a very good form of exercise, and it's low impact because you are doing in water


ya lor, ya lor then you should just go swim what then you then you will stay in condo for what , , , ya but I cannot swim, don't know leh just cannot lor like I learnt before then just


cannot coordinate the okay so when I I learn is breast stroke mah, so like you know breast stroke you got to err you know when your hand pull right that's when you come up and breathe, I cannot coordinate I cannot coordinate that motion


ya so if I no need to come out and breathe right ya I can swim but once I got to pull and come out right and like and then I cannot keep already


ya that's why but once I come up right then I like the whole momentum is like, like I cannot already [orh] like the a mentor is gone ya so I got problem coordinating so that's why I was like !aiya! forget it, ya so I did learn the form lah but I I'm not sure but because I didn't learn when I was much younger I learned when I was about maybe err <mandarin>十二岁:shi er sui</mandarin> that time after PSLE


you know like there's a very long period mah nothing you will do is in class so our school gave uh gave us like lessons lah like, to to the nearby swimming complex to go and learn, so we went to learn so like, I think maybe I was exposed a bit too late lah because already twelve years old mah then


ya lor so, !aiya! don't, really ah, ya then then maybe is then maybe <mandarin>是我的那个:shi wo de na ge</mandarin> coordination problem lor like I just cannot lor ya so like I have never mind lah


but I realise like how to say ah running can be quite bad for the knees, ya actually like I actually I start to feel it already like for example if I do, too many lunges or squats right, I can feel like my knee <mandarin>会会会痛:hui hui hui tong</mandarin> [orh]


but it's not <mandarin>痛:tong</mandarin> it's not <mandarin>痛痛:tong tong</mandarin> is like for example I'll only feel it when I, ya, so I I think is like from the squats and from the lunges lah because a lot of knee a lot of knee mah <mandarin>一直:yi zhi</mandarin> bend down <mandarin>一直:yi zhi</mandarin> bend down


really, okay okay !huh! you wear knee guard when you go trekking


oh hurt your knees, how did you hurt your knee


is it in singapore, oh okay


okay, okay


okay, okay, oh how long ago was that


oh that's not long ago leh, okay but how long was the how long was the trek


, , okay, !huh! oh my god,


!wah! really ah what kind of shoe was it what kind of shoe do you wear


oh okay, (mmhmm), ,


, , okay, [orh], but then the thing is now that you're but the thing is did the water spoil your shoes


your boots, oh but leather and water okay ah leather Kena water, , how much how much you paid for their shoes


oh my god, oh my god


!wah! but that's damn expensive, okay okay !wah! it's quite expensive


okay but it's meant to it's meant to last, last you for a long time lah, okay but mount Fuji you went you wore that one lah


you should, [orh]


[orh] so that means okay, you need to season it lah, , okay interesting !wah! I thought like usually people just by you know like I don't know like from timberland you know they always buy those trekking boots


but what what brand is it ah


okay okay,


okay, oh so do your they, oh is it,


you can just bring that along right, !wah!, okay okay okay you later you show me I try to is it a high is it high cut or what


high cut ah, okay but <mandarin>你讲:ni jiang</mandarin> okay,


okay eh mention is uh it's very heavy lah the shoes


okay, , so you have you done any trekking like during the circuit breaker period


oh you went last week, okay where, where do you go, okay #bukit timah# okay, !wah! actually I don't remember the last time I went there leh ya don't remember I think should be very long ago


macritchie I remember going there but is more of like doing school also lah like every year yearly will have this macritchie run lor then we will just go there and run through the actually I also not sure whether the forest trek all this is change already or not


you know suddenly like park connector like last time like during the circuit breaker damn crowded, then it's like everybody want to exercise one leh , ya that's why


, correct so I think somehow like, even though yes people stay at home but I think it's somehow also make people a bit healthy lah like, they will just go out and walk lor because you also very Sian lah like you mention <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> Sian mah <mandarin>在家:zai jia</mandarin> so like then there's no where to go except like <mandarin>你出去走走:ni chu qu zou zou</mandarin> what I mean that's the only


way that you can get out you know at that point of time, is to go out and ya take a walk at the park, ya so is so is in the in the end is quite an ironic so the park becomes crowded,


ya so then is like it it's not supposed to go to crowded places but in the end the park is crowded, [orh], ya lor so in the end <mandarin>我是没有去走:wo shi mei you qu zou</mandarin> so in end I will just do my HIIT because my home very small not very conducive so I'll do at level three there is this a like common area


like you know where people do , like multipurpose space lah those kind, ya so I will do my HIIT there, so <mandarin>那边没有人的:na bian mei you ren de</mandarin> okay have lah are occasionally there'll be one or two other people also doing HIIT, then after that there's this okay there's this uncle very cute you know err like <mandarin>你有看那个:ni you kan na ge</mandarin> #ye wen# right <mandarin>不是那个咏春:bu shi na ge yong chun</mandarin> you know


ya he actually did like err, he did like a board leh, ya that can be moved that he moved around one so it's like a board okay so it's very funny okay so so he actually brought this board down okay because okay you know pillar <mandarin>我的我的那个:wo de wo de na ge</mandarin> multipurpose hall err multipurpose space right


<mandarin>有一个:you yi ge</mandarin> shelter


so I don't know what he do right he like make the board that it fitted, in the gap, then <mandarin>他住在那边:ta zhu zai na bian</mandarin> practiced <mandarin>他的咏春拳:ta de yong chun quan</mandarin> lor quite funny, , , ya it's quite cute lah I mean to be you know to improvise and do something like that
