a secondary school <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> learning journey I think, is not bad lah but err ya I don't know I think night safari zoo all those I think also quite cheap I think it's quite good lah because I mean your holidays we can go and help the industry also and


and like, !wah! <mandarin>很多现现在一讲很像很多东西可以做:hen duo xian xian zai yi jiang hen xiang hen duo dong xi ke yi zuo</mandarin> right, but then, I don't know leh firstly we need money of course <mandarin>没有钱怎么可以出去玩呢没有钱:mei you qian zen me ke yi chu qu wan ne mei you qian</mandarin> equals to no life


!hais! <mandarin>我不懂:wo bu dong</mandarin> ah but oh ya did you see my Instagram story like two days ago I went to the beach Palawan beach I think that at the Sentosa there, !wah! the skies is really really pretty but then right they close the beach at seven leh so basically at like six thirty right


I think they are prepared to stay overnight but then is like <mandarin>他们刚刚:ta men gang gang</mandarin> set up <mandarin>好了刚刚坐下来要吃东西:hao le gang gang zuo xia lai yao chi dong xi</mandarin> right <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> beach <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> petrol <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> guards lah <mandarin>就开始在用那个:jiu kai shi zai yong na ge</mandarin> speaker <mandarin>又在那边讲:you zai na bian jiang</mandarin> oh we will be closed at seven PM please leave now please leave now


there's some like couples or whatever who don't go they will just go over there and they will just okay please leave now and I think it's quite useful because there's only one exit they make it there's only one exit, then after that the they will just ensure that all exit from that way


but I think it's fine but the thing is right like I feel that, there's still a lot of people like for me myself there's a lot of people I see a lot of people going to Harbourfront going to Sentosa which is quite risky for me so I wouldn't really recommend you to go because or like


because <mandarin>你没有看那些:ni mei you kan nei xie</mandarin> those <mandarin>病例:bing li</mandarin> ah is normally from those popular places so I was actually quite scared


ya but then I will just recommend not to go <mandarin>因为真的很危险:yin wei zhen de hen wei xian</mandarin> but like


!wah! <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> buffet hotel buffet, in my opinions are the best like we can go for like lunch or dinner


that's I think we should try like those like, I don't know since we can't go overseas now right maybe you can just choose the Taiwan cuisine one or the like those Korean or Japan cuisine that we try their food lah since you can't go there you know, and, there was once my cousin brought me to this I forgot what's the hotel oh my god but like


like we went for the buffet right there's those lobster there's those sushi there's those whatever those different types of food is really damn good leh we should really really go ya, like eating is the best and like we can get to try different sort of food then


I don't know leh you got any hotel to recommend though like those, good hotel


oh ya ya <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> leh <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> leh oh and right apart from all these Angmoh


all this English drama eh sorry English movies and those Korean the Train to Busan, there's the Chinese one there's this <mandarin>唐人街探案:tang ren jie tan an</mandarin> I don't know is it coming out or what but I have been expecting it for so long


and there's also the, err what's that called oh my god I forgot leh


ya ya ya I remember that time we keep saying oh my god we faster hope that like let's hope that it will come out faster then in the end <mandarin>拖了这样久到现在都还没有出来真是气死人:tuo le zhe yang jiu dao xian zai dou hai mei you chu lai zhen shi qi si ren</mandarin> but like, I don't know lah apart from these movie then buffet what do you think we can do ice skating does does ice skating sound like a good idea to do


oh ya true true like the recreational facilities <mandarin>羽毛球:yu mao qiu</mandarin> badminton eh <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I'm badminton school teams leh I haven't played badminton in like so long, especially since last year after like


after with my friends then after that we never we never really stay in contact mah <mandarin>我很想打:wo hen xiang da</mandarin> badminton then after that right like even <mandarin>现在那个羽毛球的:xian zai na ge yu mao qiu de</mandarin> those <mandarin>比赛他们现在都不可以播:bi sai ta men xian zai dou bu ke yi bo</mandarin> leh because because of COVID nineteen everybody had to stay at home then


at first it's all postponed then now is all cancelled even the, err Tokyo olympic you know, postpone right like one of my favorite badminton player she retired leh like she wanted to play after but then <mandarin>他因为他真的等不了:ta yin wei ta zhen de deng bu liao</mandarin> and you know because


[orh] I not sure but I think I think need queue before go in


it's like they need to queue to go in then after that because my here is like an old estate what so like, I see a lot of elderlies queueing then my brother is also at there having swimming lessons then what I heard is that I don't know I think need to register or something I'm not really sure leh like


and actually <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> lah like swimming <mandarin>比:bi</mandarin> badminton <mandarin>更:geng</mandarin> dangerous, because like <mandarin>全部的:quan bu de</mandarin> like the whole body <mandarin>在水里面:zai shui li mian</mandarin> leh you don't know what is what is in the <mandarin>水:shui</mandarin> you know


I, I don't know leh <mandarin>全部很像都关:quan bu hen xiang dou guan</mandarin> leh <mandarin>那么超久:na me chao jiu</mandarin> <mandarin>我想到全部都东西都关:wo xiang dao quan bu dou dong xi dou guan</mandarin> right I miss karaoke so much leh we should go and open right like


I miss singing I miss singing my like, like I I miss singing my heart out it's like so terrible, !hais! how about you


oh eh I don't think the #Ang Mo Kio# outlets is closed but then, I damn sad as there's so many things that is affected by the COVID I just hope that this thing can be over soon like <mandarin>真的老天保佑保佑这个疫情可以快点过去我们就快可以快点回到我们正常的生活:zhen de lao tian bao you bao you zhe ge yi qing ke yi kuai dian guo qu wo men jiu kuai ke yi kuai dian hui dao wo men zheng chang de sheng huo</mandarin> and like I miss singing K like


last time you sing so often leh like <mandarin>流星:liu xing</mandarin> what err <mandarin>左手指月:zuo shou zhi yue</mandarin> eh and then <mandarin>王心凌的歌那个那些太阳的歌像九十九次我爱她:wang xin ling de ge na ge nei xie tai yang de ge xiang jiu shi jiu ci wo ai ta</mandarin> now <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> SHE you know <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> TF boys <mandarin>易烊千玺真的我很:yi yang qian xi zhen de wo hen</mandarin> miss


there's singing K, then after that cinema arcade is arcade open maybe we can go play arcade I don't mind arcade though, !aiya!


true though what since when we have have we ever gone to the arcade to play together, I don't know leh the


which is very not worthy lah, oh speaking of dancing is driving right we can go and learn driving and maybe we should go and learn driving together you know and since we are just of age already


ya I am gonna learn of obviously but <mandarin>有这样贵吗我:you zhe yang gui ma wo</mandarin> sister <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> sister <mandarin>现在在学然后她是我陪她去是:xian zai zai xue ran hou ta shi wo pei ta qu shi</mandarin> Woodlands I think eh ya Woodlands somewhere somewhere there <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> learning center, then err <mandarin>他现在是找外面的一个:ta xian zai shi zhao wai mian de yi ge</mandarin> private tutor


I don't know, (ppc) <mandarin>他讲是:ta jiang shi</mandarin> not bad but like <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> lesson quite <mandarin>贵了:gui le</mandarin> then after that <mandarin>他们就是真的:ta men jiu shi zhen de</mandarin> drive on road then <mandarin>她练好了他才去:ta lian hao le ta cai qu</mandarin> but, but <mandarin>我要:wo yao</mandarin> but <mandarin>我要学:wo yao xue</mandarin> is because I believe that it is the best like for example like Chinese new year


we can drive around or like for like next time when we go uni lah, then we if we get our lessons like during holiday we can go and be a driver also what like a Grab driver Gojek driver for us to earn extra allowance


Singapore's car are very expensive I want to try my best to get a car because it's very very convenient, even though I like I can't deny the fact that the Singapore MRT are like super convenient right now but like if it's if I get my own car can drive wherever and whenever I want


oh ya I will get a house first obviously


a well-decorated house then I get a car, but oh my god we are so young but we are thinking so much into our future


[orh] ya like, my friend right she used to stay in this, old, condo, but then right is like way bigger lah then <mandarin>现在的:xian zai de</mandarin> condo <mandarin>也是很小:ye shi hen xiao</mandarin> which is very


in my opinion is not that worth it, and like, I will get I agree with you like HDB flats is super good, !wah! I dont know leh like it seems so hard because like actually like recently my cousin want to buy a house also lah like just a three and a half room flat


which is <mandarin>很很贵:hen hen gui</mandarin> in my opinion and like


oh, oh is it like, uh the one he's buying is the <mandarin>比较旧:bi jiao jiu</mandarin> one like the <mandarin>二手:er shou</mandarin> one in #Ang Mo Kio# area near my house lah but then I don't know leh I want to stay near my parents though


like, cause it's for very very convenient but like I don't know what like next time if I would like to get married like the <mandarin>男方会怎样:nan fang hui zen yang</mandarin> lah you know, ya the best thing is like we stay in the middle of both side of the parties so that we can travel


ya but <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>现想那么多:xian xiang na me duo</mandarin> I don't know leh, !wah! it's just


!aiya! what can we do what what we can only do is drop, okay bye


I'm not looking for any part time job though what about you I think you actually like <mandarin>打工:da gong</mandarin> but like


those like very temporary kind instead of like those that I have to go to like physical places and like do part time I think like ya I will do those temp job


, no leh I think I think I have commitment issues lah I can't commit so long for like maybe


to go, you know those physical places I mean I don't mind to be those


I think one of the HBL <mandarin>很累:hen lei</mandarin> lor especially those science student <mandarin>我们很多要做:wo men hen duo yao zuo</mandarin> especially like you know, when we don't have HBL like home based learning we can go back to school and take classes and now I think cause the classes all conducted online I think


I don't think it's better though cause like you have a period of like home based learning then after that you <mandarin>需要回去考试:xu yao hui qu kao shi</mandarin> then <mandarin>一考就:yi kao jiu</mandarin> like <mandarin>两三张:liang san zhang</mandarin> then <mandarin>很难适应:hen nan shi ying</mandarin> cause <mandarin>你已经适应:ni yi jing shi ying</mandarin> into your HBL life already then you still have to go back so it's very hard lor that change you know


it's very hard to adapt for me, then afterwards it's like you barely understand the topics then afterwards you still have to go back and go and take the test which is super duper hard, so I think that was a struggle for me then what are you gonna do for like your holidays now though


kind then I think it's, it's not very you know interesting but I think overall it's still nice lah but I have been watching like some


English dramas on Netflix too I think you should go and watch highly recommend


I don't know if ok to share with you cause I'm sharing my sister and all my cousins like we have a shared account so I think it's cheaper that way cause you know monthly subscription, if you divide by like, I think <mandarin>四还是五个人:si hai shi wu ge ren</mandarin> I think <mandarin>会比较便宜:hui bi jiao pian yi</mandarin> definitely cheap much much cheaper than like if you pay alone lah


then after that I think I just have to pay like, about <mandarin>五块钱:wu kuai qian</mandarin> per month, for like that subscription cause I share with my sister my cousin, then afterwards I think it's quite, worth it though I think you should go and find your other friends and go create an account with different like profiles there I think it's better that way


and also, have you heard of the new movie coming out <mandarin>木兰:mu lan</mandarin> do you wanna watch together it sounds really really like, it seems really really nice though


I think it premiers in the cinema during like on fourth September like first September will come out at the cinema and I think a lot of people will go and support lor lah what you say cause the first, the first and only right, Asian Disney princess so I think is like women empowerment and like


just I think all the Asians will definitely go and support lor especially in like those Western countries you know, and I think, ya I think it's definitely, worth supporting and I I heard that the song is really very good too like Reflection


and like I heard that I think Christina Aguilera right <mandarin>她在唱那个主题曲:ta zai chang na ge zhu ti qu</mandarin> leh I think <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> worth watching is definitely worth watching <mandarin>我们应该去看:wo men ying gai qu kan</mandarin> one day <mandarin>你有空:ni you kong</mandarin> mah


I think <mandarin>我们没有可以介绍的了:wo men mei you ke yi jie shao de le</mandarin> leh like all I've been doing other than watching like those few shows, it's so hard especially as like a food science student then I think last year their are total intake was only fifty seven


like they only have fifty seven slots


oh but I think if you cannot get in like your course right like the diploma, that you took right that that course of diploma that you took I think <mandarin>你可以转换去:ni ke yi zhuan huan qu</mandarin> like other, I think right because you have did like restricted although we have restricted lah like restricted


degrees that we can achieve, but I think <mandarin>我们还是可以转去:wo men hai shi ke yi zhuan qu</mandarin> others lah I think, cause <mandarin>我的是:wo de shi</mandarin> because <mandarin>我的是:wo de shi</mandarin> food science right then <mandarin>我可以转换去:wo ke yi zhuan huan qu</mandarin> like chemistry and, others, like science related lah but


I think it's still quite restricted lor, I will definitely aim for food science, but there's I think that, if <mandarin>我进不了:wo jin bu liao</mandarin> food science I'll just go like, other courses lor like, the similar courses and if I cannot <mandarin>进:jin</mandarin> like the big three lah what you say like


NUS I think <mandarin>我就只好去:wo jiu zhi hao qu</mandarin> like SIT lor but have you thought of going SIT if you can't get into SMU


I think like internship really very important lor because I think I heard my sister said that you know


and I think if you, like do very well you excel in like your internship right I think they will offer you a job leh then I think <mandarin>有些:you xie</mandarin> hor <mandarin>他们也会:ta men ye hui</mandarin> fund <mandarin>你去:ni qu</mandarin> like university lah I think


but I think, ya I'm also quite scared one <mandarin>紧张:jin zhang</mandarin> for like I don't know what what, to come for my internship


so like I think you have to, then I think not only so I think you have to see your GPA leh cause some companies I think they also have requirements and like for those popular companies like for my case lah I think is you know food companies right because I'm in food science


then if I want to intern at Nestle I think it's highly highly competitive, liaise then <mandarin>自己去:zi ji qu</mandarin> like, contact with <mandarin>他们这样:ta men zhe yang</mandarin> lah like aren't you scared I'm like super duper scared about that too


but like do you know like, like what options you all have like <mandarin>你们有什么公司在你们可以:ni men you shen me gong si zai ni men ke yi</mandarin> work for like, cause <mandarin>你讲你的是:ni jiang ni de shi</mandarin> events management right, so like maybe I don't know maybe some, event management company or like because you said you are also in like business course right so like is it like do you all work in banks like I dont know OCBC bank <mandarin>那种大银行:na zhong da yin hang</mandarin> in Singapore or is that like only for banking and finance and you all go and do like those events management


ya I think <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> HBL <mandarin>真的很多:zhen de hen duo</mandarin> disadvantage also cause you know because of the pandemic then we have to also do everything online, and I because you know that we have practical sessions also what so, for like during the circuit breaker like when we have to do the


then I think it's so so difficult because, like we don't get to do the hands on thing then we don't really quite understand the concept, then afterwards we still have to go like do additional homework on like those practical sessions cause we don't really quite understand


then after that the, the questions although they are all based on like Youtube videos lah and like <mandarin>他们讲应该是很容易:ta men jiang ying gai shi hen rong yi</mandarin> what, but <mandarin>真的没有很容易:zhen de mei you hen rong yi</mandarin> lor like <mandarin>你还是要去:ni hai shi yao qu</mandarin> take additional time and go and research


and like I think it's a very huge uh disadvantage for us because I think when we go like, and work in the workforce right then even though we have technically learned how to use <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> machine, but right we technically didn't use it before what we always like watch how to use it in videos so I'm really very scared <mandarin>以后如果我要去做工的时候:yi hou ru guo wo yao qu zuo gong de shi hou</mandarin> then <mandarin>我不会用:wo bu hui yong</mandarin> then


but is it like your webinar online webinar it's like your final year project or something because I heard that some courses only have final year project while some courses I think like mine we need to do like final year project and internship and I heard that like final year project although you get to group with like the people of your


choice I think but I think <mandarin>你要跟你的班的人一起:ni yao gen ni de ban de ren yi qi</mandarin> group and that's super super difficult cause I think <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> course right for <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> course I think we, need to find like groups of three then


like, even numbered, groups of three then I think <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> group <mandarin>只有两个人:zhi you liang ge ren</mandarin> leh, like


oh but like I think because a lot of people dropped out from my class before like we used to have, I think we used to have like <mandarin>二十一个:er shi yi ge</mandarin> but <mandarin>现在我们只剩是:xian zai wo men zhi sheng shi</mandarin> like <mandarin>十九个:shi jiu ge</mandarin> lor like or even lesser, I think <mandarin>每年都有很多人:mei nian dou you hen duo ren</mandarin> drop out from <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> course cause I heard that it's quite hard


and like, I don't know eh although like technically people drop out then like the competition should reduce right for like internship, but like I think the competition is still very high and like FYP I think we also have to, like cause I don't think we can do the same product so I think we also if we have like overlap I think also quite competitive then we still need to present then after that


I don't think, like, it's very, like useful lor, ya lah like a lot of people too many people <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> make up <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> competitive,


or some other countries if I'm not wrong I read read the Straits Time then that's what they said


it's like !whoa! we can finally go overseas leh if right now you can go one country where would you go


I think <mandarin>那里的食物:na li de shi wu</mandarin> is so nice it's super delicious and not only so I think the weather also very nice


cause you know when I went there it was like, during December time, then after that, I think <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> weather <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> like <mandarin>蛮:man</mandarin> cold <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> and it's like super nice I think next time we should go lor but, I think, those


how should I call it those, like touristy spots I dont think it's worth it though like those sightseeing spots what do you think


ya I think because <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> COVID nineteen then I think I think the #pasar malams# really really <mandarin>现很难找了:xian hen nan zhao le</mandarin> but like I don't think it's that cheap though cause I think the currency rate went down then if <mandarin>你要这样换一块钱:ni yao zhe yang huan yi kuai qian</mandarin> to like <mandarin>台币:tai bi</mandarin> I think at first it used to be like <mandarin>二十一:er shi yi</mandarin> or <mandarin>二十二块:er shi er kuai</mandarin> but now it drop to like only


near, like slightly more than twenty dollars NTW only I think, it's not that cheap as you think lah but I think if you go to the <mandarin>夜市:ye shi</mandarin> I don't think you should play the games I think you should focus more on like the food the all the <mandarin>小吃:xiao chi</mandarin> I think it's so worth it


like Korea seems like such a nice place like when you watch all the Korean dramas really like make you want to go there


and like, I don't know have a taste of like their local life and I heard that, like thir although their things might not be like the cheapest but I heard that they are like worth it lor cause their food is also really nice, and I think you know those local markets really sell a lot of snacks and stuff like what do you think do you want to go there with me


ya definitely to concert I think <mandarin>我会去:wo hui qu</mandarin> I will think I'll go like Girls Generation concert they are my idol, and like I think I also go to like some others like, probably like maybe NCT or like NCT one two seven but like Korea is great lah I think and Japan too but like


I also want to go like European countries leh like, New Zealand okay lah although New Zealand is not some European country but like those Western countries, you know it's like it's so cool although I think it's probably like not the best time to go there because


due to this pandemic and like, maybe a lot of like, unrest lah because of, you know the recent movements and like, the, political issues but I think, if like one day when I'm rich enough and I think everything settle <mandarin>了我很想去美国:le wo hen xiang qu mei guo</mandarin> sia <mandarin>美国:mei guo</mandarin> like quite nice also leh is like also like I watch like those American dramas before


and like I don't know like the culture there, seems to like


I don't know leh like Taiwan <mandarin>好像很多东西吃:hao xiang hen duo dong xi chi</mandarin> sia like I think one of my favourite has to be like <mandarin>你一定要去:ni yi ding yao qu</mandarin> like you know those local like seafood markets <mandarin>他很多海产:ta hen duo hai chan</mandarin> is super duper nice lor then you know you should eat their like I think


they call it like <mandarin>蚵仔煎:he zai jian</mandarin> or something like that is really really nice and like you should try like I think you should try all their seafood and especially their fried cuttlefish


I think although like somebody don't some people dont eat <mandarin>大肠:da chang</mandarin> but for me I think it's okay leh it's like <mandarin>蛮好吃的:man hao chi de</mandarin> do you eat


ya I think <mandarin>很少:hen shao</mandarin> lor but I heard that like <mandarin>现在很多:xian zai hen duo</mandarin> staycation deals leh like although like those chalets I think they are trying to like open up also like <mandarin>现在有很多:xian zai you hen duo</mandarin> staycation deals I think they are quite cheap also eh, then like got those like very famous popular hotels in Singapore like I thought you look like the kind that will go to like staycations leh <mandarin>你没有跟你朋友去:ni mei you gen ni peng you qu</mandarin> meh


, I don't think I want to go leh like there's <mandarin>没有很多东西玩:mei you hen duo dong xi wan</mandarin> lor and like, I think okay like other than USS I think there's like a lot of other, like tourist boards are also open now what like the


what do you call the Sea Aquarium I think is also open leh like the Sea Aquarium seems pretty interesting I've never been there before like <mandarin>你要不要去找一天:ni yao bu yao qu zhao yi tian</mandarin> I think <mandarin>那里很:na li hen</mandarin> like <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> cool


!wah! eh <mandarin>好像很美这样:hao xiang hen mei zhe yang</mandarin> lor no but like <mandarin>为什么他们就要去那边:wei shen me ta men jiu yao qu na bian</mandarin> stay sia I thought like everyone should know that you can't stay like overnight at public areas like I think beaches now will be closed lor I think they should know what beforehand instead of like bringing the entire hand tent <mandarin>然后去那边:ran hou qu na bian</mandarin> expect that <mandarin>他们可以住:ta men ke yi zhu</mandarin> but like how do they close the beach though like do they fence it up or something cause


I think it's quite hard right cause the beach is quite


ya I think like safety first lor like you wouldn't want it like where you go to become a cluster and you to be like, in contact with the cases and catch COVID right I think just safety first lah and like not only so but like I think just try to refrain lor then I don't think I will go to like picnic <mandarin>我的朋友:wo de peng you</mandarin> at all I think like oh but maybe we can go like those like


like maybe not like the, picnics and stuff but maybe we can meet out for lunch or dinner like at buffets right, like have you heard I heard that like there's quite, a lot of buffets like having promotion from like those hotels hotel buffets even those like a la carte buffets they are like quite nice leh like <mandarin>找一天我们应该去:zhao yi tian wo men ying gai qu</mandarin> lor


and like there's this one like I think international buffet, I think is quite cheap leh it's like <mandarin>很划算:hen hua suan</mandarin> then after that <mandarin>他们很多:ta men hen duo</mandarin> like different dishes for you to choose one, then, I think they have like sashimi sushi and I think


they also have like, although international lah they also have some Asian delicacies


oh like <mandarin>最近我看到一个:zui jin wo kan dao yi ge</mandarin> sia <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> like youtuber shared a like


sashimi lah then after that <mandarin>也有那种:ye you na zhong</mandarin> Asian okay lah Asian delicacy but I think they have a lot of like they have a wide range of dessert also leh


like they have like eclairs and stuff like that like I think <mandarin>看起来:kan qi lai</mandarin> quite nice leh


I think <mandarin>我们应该去:wo men ying gai qu</mandarin> try lor then do you have any other recommendations


I think also can sia but like <mandarin>你真的要看木兰:ni zhen de yao kan mu lan</mandarin> meh I think there are other also like very nice movies like you know the Train to Busan the Peninsula and like I think there's an upcoming movie called The New Mutants it seems not bad leh like <mandarin>那个剧情:na ge ju qing</mandarin> right is <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> like I think it will it started off with like a I think a young girl lah I don't think she knows that she's a mutant


but like she was being captured because of like an event cause I watched the trailer is super super exciting like <mandarin>蛮好看的这样:man hao kan de zhe yang</mandarin> is like then after that , like I think she wants to capture then she was just like captured, then she was placed in like I don't think it was orphanage sorry I think it was like


what is it called mental asylum


oh I ya <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> remember <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> but I think <mandarin>姜子牙:jiang zi ya</mandarin> I don't think <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> animation will come out any like, anytime soon because I think, the pandemic really hit the movie franchise and I think they are like, gonna delay the premier and I heard that like they didn't even premier in China or something like that so I think it will take some time to come to Singapore but like quite interesting leh the trailer also not bad


I think ice skating <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> sia but I don't know whether it's open leh, like I used to go ice skate so much right you know then I really I think I really miss ice skating lor if <mandarin>我有:wo you</mandarin> like <mandarin>那个钱:na ge qian</mandarin> and have the time then <mandarin>我一定会去:wo yi ding hui qu</mandarin> lah, but like, maybe we should go gym-ing or exercising instead lor cause now is like healthy eating and we have been sitting at home for the entire


like home based learning period I think we should go like maybe to the park and exercise lor what do you think


and like not only so, I don't think, I think you can play, in your like local not local like your neighborhood courts also but <mandarin>你不一定要去:ni bu yi ding yao qu</mandarin> like, community club and stuff like that, and like <mandarin>为什么一定要打:wei shen me yi ding yao da</mandarin> badminton sia, we can play other games too like we can maybe wait are swimming allow these days do you know


no lor I think right because like you know when you go swimming then there's chlorine in the water I think it has an effect on like the cold the virus and bacteria lor I think it can like kill the virus and bacteria but like true lah maybe just in case


oh not, to contact the virus ya maybe we can go like badminton but like other than badminton a bit Sian sia, like do you have other like things to recommend when we do like to do


ya sia I think I just dreamt about singing yesterday I think singing is just my coping mechanism like <mandarin>我真的不可以:wo zhen de bu ke yi</mandarin> sia <mandarin>我一定要去:wo yi ding yao qu</mandarin> like I don't know just let my feelings out and just maybe scream or like sing in the karaoke or karaoke


but like, like outlets in Singapore like it has fourteen outlets if I'm not wrong and it's closing down like seven


and it's like most of like the few original like the, OG stores like the one in Kallang and the one in like Sembawang shopping centre has been closed down due to like COVID leh, then I don't I very scared like the one that is near us like the #Ang Mo Kio# outlet will close too leh <mandarin>我就怕:wo jiu pa</mandarin> sia


but what games are there in the arcade though like I know there's like, you know those driving games and those like dancing games I'm not really an an arcade person though cause I heard the arcade <mandarin>要换多钱:yao huan duo qian</mandarin> sia like you have to like go and like redeem


like not redeem but like buy a card which you can store points is it or like you can load in money, then <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> ticket I think <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> accumulate and play


like arcade type of person leh


I think driving is not a bad idea but <mandarin>很贵:hen gui</mandarin> lor you know how much is driving fees or not I think like you have to go through like the theory test then you have to go through like the physical test with like a mentor and I think you still have to pay like if you over time and stuff like that and you have like those


I think there are like two different types like those, government based and those private based learning centers I think, to get a driving licence like, my sister right recently she's I think she's gonna try and go and learn


with like the private, like learning center then I think <mandarin>他需要两千块以上:ta xu yao liang qian kuai yi shang</mandarin> sia <mandarin>很贵:hen gui</mandarin> leh are you going to learn


I think not a bad idea sia but like, I think like cause I'm going NS like, next year or like next next year right I heard that right in NS you can learn leh then I think you don't have to spend <mandarin>这样贵:zhe yang gui</mandarin> I don't think you spend like so much money just to go and learn I think you can learn it in like army during army lor but what's the point of learning though are you going to get a car next time like <mandarin>以后你会买车:yi hou ni hui mai che</mandarin> meh


ya sia Singapore car is so expensive and like the public transport is so convenient already but like <mandarin>以后你会先买房还是你会先买车:yi hou ni hui xian mai fang hai shi ni hui xian mai che</mandarin> I think <mandarin>我会先买房:wo hui xian mai fang</mandarin> sia, I really cannot afford cars before like I afford a home though for like


insurance sake like what do you think


or like those private apartment kind I think I'll just get like, maybe a five room flat if possible though


like I think condo <mandarin>真的很贵:zhen de hen gui</mandarin> eh and like every, month I think you still have to <mandarin>还那种:hai na zhong</mandarin> maintenance fee, it's like a bit <mandarin>不值得:bu zhi de</mandarin> leh


ya <mandarin>真的很贵:zhen de hen gui</mandarin> but <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> cousin <mandarin>买的是:mai de shi</mandarin> like is it those newly built like those BTO build to order flats or was it like those second hand like, older flats though, like cause I heard that BTO is like <mandarin>你先结婚:ni xian jie hun</mandarin> should be cheaper though cause <mandarin>政府:zheng fu</mandarin> have a lot of subsidies and stuff like that but if you get like an older home I think you can just


like get the flat through like lesser subsidies lah like those like if you want to stay near your parents those kind ya lah what do you which one


but I think if you want to buy #Ang Mo Kio# <mandarin>真的真的很贵:zhen de zhen de hen gui</mandarin> lor, it's like I think compared to other places <mandarin>真的好贵:zhen de hao gui</mandarin> it's like I heard that Yishun flats are like so much cheaper and those like, not really very, older estates lah are like so much cheaper


unlike those non mature areas like maybe Jurong or like Punggol their flats are so <mandarin>便宜:pian yi</mandarin> compared to like these <mandarin>黄金地带:huang jin di dai</mandarin> like Bishan and #Ang Mo Kio# and #Toa Payoh# though


ya !hais! life is just so hard okay [lah] I think I have to go now bye bye


okay hi sabrina, hello, hello


hello, ya, , you sound like you in a box


, ya, err okay I think I think I can hear you well now, ya hi hi hi hi hi


, ya, like hi hi hi hi, I'm good I'm good, I just finished exams, and gotten my results


ah how was it boleh lah, like boleh lah macam I didn't expect it to be hard as it is


it's more to macam satisfactory lah unexpectedly good


fail, ah understood understood ya cause uh macam for me [kan] like uh


I don't enjoy anything online at all from ah daripada lectures, to like err online exams no no I'm I'm like not a huge fan of all this online stuff at all I hate it I really really hate it


I was like, ah really cannot I really cannot cause I'm type of person ah who like prefers everything like to be there in the traditional way ah right like physically seeing your lecturer lecturer and then like taking down notes physically


like like I can't can't do I can't do it I can't do the virtual thingy I really I really don't find it like , productive at all for me throughout the whole semester, what about you what about you


(mmhmm),


ah, it's, still not the same right,


(mmhmm), , , ,


, , , , eh but serious ah forty eight hours


oh my god, , uh uh uh,


, (mmhmm) !wow!


okay I see I see eh uh but forty eight hours forty eight hours is really long eh


uh


, oh okay , (mmhmm)


like the questions banyak ke like were there like a lot of questions, !wow! five sections


not really ya it's it's not clear ya it's not clear at all, ya, no difference tak ada tak ada difference


, try ah cakap something, ya is it what you using


cause it sounds like uh err dia macam tak clear sangat so like try it's ya like I cannot really understand what you're saying ya, , that's why


okay never mind , can lah but it's just like it's very hard for me to like, like there's like a bit like, anyway right , oh for me [kan] ah yours is like forty eight hours so is like mine is mine mine was ah twenty four hours tapi like the lecturer lecturer like give like specific instruction tau like the instruction were like very specific so


like she gave like eleven questions eleven questions , eleven questions and then lepas tu the eleven questions tu like ah the marks were different lah for each questions the marks all very different like some were three marks some were two marks some were ten marks like the maximum was like ten marks ah so like


ah for like for each question err my lecturer specified ah like berapa banyak words, like there was like minimum of words words in a minimum and then ah she also specified lah like the uh


it's quite a lot actually ya I mean if it's like maybe if it's five marks then okay which like I would say it's like worth the marks to write so much but it's like really just two to three marks but like ya so it was like very


very hard ah I I don't know it's like it's the questions were not hard it's just that I find that


ya, eleven essays , ya twenty four hours eleven essays I didn't like tak tidur cause like ya I mean it's not that I didn't take breaks in between ah but then I did take a lot of breaks in between to be honest


cause like, cause, ya ya I did I finish way way ahead of the the the the submission period, lah cause I cause I honestly feel that the longer the paper right the more you will drag the more you will procrastinate


you what I mean ya


uh it was penat ah but then like, you you, the questions were okay like just now I say [kan] it was just like okay the it just takes a lot of time and then like having to sit in front of a laptop for like long hours is like uh my back was like crying for help


my back crying for help and then ya and like mata sakit and everything so macam err no it's not very like ya it's the worst ah I would say the whole the whole


ya from from I think like from having like online lectures to like online exams it's just, it's just the whole the whole thing is not like helpful at all like the whole in like for like studying something right it's like not conducive at all I I feel like being at home


studying at home like like managing like things alone no managing like having like classes at home it's very it's not conducive at all, ya cause like you have like family members around and then people are doing different things in the background and then you can't really focused and then it's like affecting your attention and then you get distracted and then you will like get up every now and then to go to the kitchen and then get something you know


it's not like err I don't know I just feel like it's not conducive at all to be at home and having like lectures or exams is the worst, it's the worse eh and then like like like like uh


my results ya it was it was it was it was surprisingly okay I like I like same as you ah I expected like worse cause I feel like some of the modules they were like quite uh heavy


they quite heavy and then like the the workload was also very heavy so like, it took a lot of like my time and energy like completing most of the coursework so it's like I I I've I was like very very drained throughout the whole semester like mentally drained physically drained so it's like like I was quite satisfied with my results lah cause


I think the I think the lecturers are being uh quite lenient lah, ya ya, ya , cause like you know you know there are times like uh like I I attended like online lectures but then like macam like I was there but I was asleep


, (ppc)


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


, eh you know what was funny I I've been in the same situation , all okay cause I had this like ah I ada kelas ni eight thirty tau eight thirty AM in the morning so like


the attendance was like not compulsory but lecturers still took note of who attended class right, ya so I didn't want to like affect my attendance so like like every time like eight thirty AM I will wake up just in time like for the lecturer to share the like google meet link ah I would join lepastu the minute I join and then like right ah terus I I would just go to sleep


and then every time when I wake up the class is done like the lecturer is not even there anymore then she left the google meet and I'm still there I mean I I honestly think uh I bukan sorang cause ah when I woke up then I will see like two to three people


cannot ah, I really cannot I mean physically physical classes eighty thirty I really feel like it's already not a good idea to like take up eight thirty classes ah apa lagi eh online like tak boleh !oi!


so I'm like virtually I'm there but I'm really not physically I'm just somewhere else


eh tapi lecturers you semua like, they were were they like mostly lenient or like they were do you had like some macam trouble juga with certain lecturers


, , , (mmhmm)


oh, ya, ah ah ah


(uh huh) uh, , (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), ah cause, for me like ah for me right


I think everyone macam masih nak adapting to the whole new situations so it's like uh I I appreciate that uh lecturers I macam they were they were okay lah but then I did have macam trouble dengan some, lecturers ah cause like I don't know why ah tak tahu kenapa ah tapi like I ada satu lecturer ni she was like


I don't know why she wanted things to she wanted to make things more difficult for us you know like, I mean ya I don't know I don't know why ah cause I've I I I don't err I don't macam I tak I don't really like her style of like how she organises the whole the way she conducts a whole the whole class it's like


cause it's online [kan] abeh macam she doesn't, gone through everything I mean technically of course we have to go through everything on our own mostly like have to do our readings and everything I mean faham lah we have to do that obviously but then it was like I would say like ninety percent like the whole coursework that ninety percent had to be depended on ourselves


ya so macam it wasn't helpful lah she was expecting us to only come to her only bila kita ada questions so it was like very hard for me like ah apa eh like macam cause especially I don't have my books with me so like


I I left my books in malaysia we had to rush back to singapore like during the MCO so we didn't I didn't have time to pack up whatever I need so it was just like take whatever I whatever I needed and then just balik singapore but then like you know so I had I had to leave my books and I really I really I use my books for references like to do readings and everything


ya I mean cause I I don't like I don't like online I really cannot like absorb things online so I prefer like reading like physical books and then like extracting the like macam apa tu the points and everything but then my lecturer was like


she was like as like for like every week


like three three or four slides she would go through so like the slides was like was like nine nine to ten minutes and that's it so it's like she only goes through like first not even like first part it's like very small part of the whole chapter so had to be we had to really go every go through everything on ourselves


on our own so macam I was like ah it wasn't like helpful at all I was like I didn't understand like a lot of things and then like I was like having trouble then I tried my best to like find resources online whatever it is lah to to understand to faham [kan]


cause like you know it's it's heavy it's it's it's also a very heavy course so it's like I I feel like it wasn't helpful at all and then she was always like she's very high expectations on her students ah I I honestly feel that way I mean


ah in the situation we're in right now is like not really helpful lah, I mean cause cause she makes everything a bit complicated like the whole process of the whole coursework it was like very very leceh like from the from the submissions and then to the assignments like she was like very particular about a lot of things they were macam banyak gila benda nak kena like we had to follow hers her format


and it was very very leceh and then like, it was very leceh and then time consuming and everything so and then it was group work and which is which was worse cause uh uh I had to handle dengan all those group members who are just useless, so it was like more pressure on like whoever is participating in a group work


we just like you know it's supposed to be a group assignment and then like like out of like six people like only three, working team members which was hard lah cause I mean you know assignments are like supposed it's very heavy and it's supposed to be like macam equally divided [kan] tapi like like the pressure was more on like the lesser lesser working members the more work needs to be done right for each member


so I was like ah it was very frustrating cause like for me I don't really like to confront like, members who don't really do their work, like I feel that I don't know I I'm just like malas ah want to layan like, like you know all these drama so I will just be like I do my work like whoever wants to do it do it and then we just proceed if people care enough they would ask the progress ah of it but you know some did some did not so it was like ah whatever like really I don't care cause for me I care about my grades like you did dorang tak kesah then dorang punya pasal ah


but then like for me like I really I really care about my grades so it's like for me I don't want to deal with like such like such group members so is like ah whatever ah suka hati ah nak buat pape pun boleh lah ya like ya it's like


uh apa nama dia like you know like bila physically like with physically it's very hard to meet up with group members like what else online right it's worse, especially when like


like group members don't reply to your texts and they just like they only leave you on read everytime frustrating [kan], ya exactly ya ya exactly


and then, and then uh like for like certain my other lecturers like they they decided like like yours ah similar to yours like dorang kasi kita choose nak apa tu nak individual atau group work so it was like okay lah I I honestly prefer individual assignments so I don't have to like deal with anyone you know you just get to settle it on your own


ya ya ya, ya ya ya I mean, ya ya ya I mean it's your own your own uh I mean it's kind of scary lah to do be doing assignments like individually tapi macam you know it's much easier cause you get things done faster I mean not faster faster but you know what I mean [kan] like faster in terms of like you just have you just you just do it on do it on your own don't have to like go having to ask or like you know divide work and everything


ya ya exactly exactly exactly ya it's all like on your own so macam settle lah senang [kan] habis cerita eh but serious I'm not looking forward to the upcoming semester or the summer semester cause I'm taking are you taking the summer semester


oh okay that's early I mean, we just finished exams right


(mmhmm), (uh huh) ah oh same same, same I'm taking malay also ya, ya but level two cause I took the level one already


(mmhmm), ah, okay,


oh, (ppc), ya ya ya ah so it's not so draining right cause one, ya one class aje okay lah tu


same cause uh for me like I haven't I haven't started sebab I baru I baru [jer] register the class, so I just got in so maybe like my classes will start tomorrow I think, cause today is a public holiday for malaysia merdeka [kan]


ya so ya, but then right how's CB for you ah , ya,


(ppc), ya, ha ha ha


(uh huh) uh, ,


sorry what good place


(uh huh), okay okay and then, , (mmhmm)


(mmhmm),


, ada salah tu , (uh huh) (uh huh), shared oh oh


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


(uh huh) !huh!, (uh huh), (uh huh)


, oh okay okay, okay, funny, it's a funny show


it's a funny show, or the like apa tu cerita dia like is it, [orh] cerita cerita dia like what the whole is it like series eh


series berapa season, oh no, I don't I tak suka ah tengok series, , I I don't enjoy like I don't know like maybe sebab macam it's either like I get bored easily atau macam I'm just hard to impress ah cause I will always ah sebab selalu kalau I tengok cerita [kan] nanti like like if macam dia series


sometimes not even halfway I will just macam !ee! boring ah malas done dah that's it, especially kalau cerita dia romance [kan] oh lagi malas no no no tak boleh I I really


ya I macam I mean, sometimes you just you know ah macam just to, just enjoy macam for entertainment purs~purposes macam okay ah but then, ah I would just macam be like err a bit aje ah tapi nanti bila dah get too much nanti I macam !ee! tak nak tak nak I'm not watching this ah especially if


move on sebab tu I prefer tengok movies ah daripada like watching like series or like sitcoms or whatever lah you call it


so I'll see lah eh I'll check out and see kalau I managed to watch a good place then I akan bilang you lah,


no no other sequel, oh okay, okay okay, okay


this year, (mmhmm), oh really itu [jer] ke tak ada cerita lain yang you boleh suggest kat I


cause uh I when I get like macam betul-betul bored and then I would watch K drama kira like K drama is like the last resort kalau betul-betul dah boring gila then I would watch K dramas


me, uh I would usually I don't know I do I do I don't really keep track of what I do I would just I don't really keep track of what I do but like if I were to remember correctly like on like a normal days


uh what I do is macam I would watch rental videos on youtube like really anything like really like suggested stuff right I would I will just watch it macam I picit and just tengok [jer], ya, ya


ya I mean just like every like a really a lot of things there [kan] and macam for me ah macam get bored easily like videos paling lama pun fifteen twenty minutes dah lah that's it, not like not like macam really lama-lama videos like orang berbual banyak-banyak no no I would just like watch random stuff


sometimes I watch like like really random ah like I can be watching macam ah I'll be watching like cooking shows or ya to like macam make-up stuff, or like really like random stuff like people punya like macam room tours or something I don't know I just like really just anything ah


like really anything I will just like switch up to like a lot of a lot of things, (ppc) now cause I really I don't know uh then this my daily ah most of the time I think I think I spend all my time watching random videos, if not I spend my time on social media I spend a lot of my time on social media


uh, I, social media oh


not like really really must those people who really post like stories like every day and then like have those like really small dots on their IG stories tak ah I'm not like that just that I just like enjoy like watching stories of other people then like macam look at other people's posts and then stalk people


not really stalk but like macam look at their profiles and like you know random stuff like really random stuff, I don't know is it,


ya ya ya ya ya ya, like it


ya ya ya ya tapi like macam it just makes you like macam talk to yourself like macam eh, like eh interesting eh ah macam you know got those kind of things like is


sometimes people like express their opinions like openly [kan], which like macam I really like ya I mean I really respect those kind of people cause I'm I would say I orang dia I'm very I'm kind of very I very opinionated actually it's just that I don't really express it out openly


[kan], ya, they will just, ya ya ya exactly exactly, [kan] [kan] [kan] [kan], ya, ya ya ya


ah, (uh huh) (uh huh) ya ya ya ya, , (mmhmm) (mmhmm) ya ya ya, cause like


like you see when like people really like speak up on like uh like current issues like I I really really want to like I really wish I could macam kadang-kadang macam eh like !ee! I really like like at the back of my head [kan] macam there were like a lot of things tau I really want to say a lot of things but then like I macam oh like uh


it's like ya I mean I know what to say, okay what, (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), , ya ya cause for me right I I I sometimes that I really I know what to say I know what to say it's just that I don't know if I will be able to word it in a way that people understand where I'm coming from you know


I really can't I really can't I don't know how but I really can't cause


I I feel that my knowledge or like current issues it's not like I'm not fully equipped on that like I'm still like I still it's not I'm not I don't like follow up on what what's happening [kan] tapi like I feel like, no matter like how much I'm updated with what's going on I feel like I'm still don't have enough knowledge like like the lack of knowledge in me to really macam go out there and speak up about things like this ah


I really I really, respect those people who really have that confidence to really to really you know just just say whatever and they don't even care if like I mean especially when people like people reply and they have like err like there was there's like a clash of opinions and things right then they will have like a they will somehow have like a certain discussion


like between like another user and then it's like oh no I would I will never do that I mean even though like,


!huh! tapi I I I feel like macam like even if I were to tweet it out like I I I will just so scared of being judged even though like my my followers are actually quite limited ah tapi you know you just have that like fear of people like judging you even if it's not judging you people I I'm I'm afraid of people having like certain like impression of me for having like certain opinions on things you know


[kan], ya exactly exactly, ya ya exactly oh really I mean then


(mmhmm), (uh huh), a'ah, ah ah yes yes yes,


, ya I mean cause ya cause things like this like you really need you really have to know your way around words [kan] like you don't want to macam you don't want people to misunderstand what you say at same time you don't want to hurt their feelings


in a way you know you you just want it to be like a general kind of like discussion like a healthy one lah like you don't end up being like ya you know end up like in like fights or whatever I don't know it's just really cool I find it like macam very cool for people to be doing that


, ya ya I mean they are very receptive receptive they are very receptive ah so macam okay that's good that's really good then that's what that's what I find very interesting about twitter ah


ya ya I mean, I mean I I find out a lot of things from twitter twitter is like my go to I would say macam go to newspaper ah


, sometimes sometimes


cause you feel that sometimes as much as you enjoy reading like people's opinions right you feel that sometimes people are just like the the opinions that you read or whatever tweets that people tweet right it's sometimes if you feel like they screaming at you I don't know sometimes I feel like everyone is being too expressive about everything


sometimes for me ya like it's like ah sometimes I feel like ah I get I get tired sometimes I get tired so like you know sometimes you just have to like uh just take a break from it but like it's still like you know a few days and then like oh okay can can already ah then you know activate back and then like okay already


ya cause I feel that sometimes like as much as there are a lot of like healthy discussions online there's still like those people who like to force the opinions on other people which is of course not healthy like you know and these are people like you find like


uh, it's like uh like I mean, ya I mean like sometimes you like I mean I get what you want to say but then sometimes you just have to like accept the fact that people won't like have that same opinion as you you know


you know, ,


ya ya ya, ya ya, I think it's just how it is right you can't you can't get like semua orang to agree what you what you what you have to say it's just the fact that you know when you like express things out you have to like brace yourself for like you know back lashes and everything cause confirm have one


eh, what, what, my instagram


oh kalau instagram, , I have a very large I have a lot I follow a lot of people


I follow a lot of people but then like I get tired of watching stories eventually so I will just like I will just like like exit lah when I macam dah malas want to tengok banyak-banyak but some some stories I do enjoy ah but others like when I feel like macam !ee! malas [pe] nak tengok I will be just like


, cause the ones like, sebab yang the first few ones will always be the one that you always watch right for IG story ah so macam okay dah tengok ni semua okay dah that's it I don't have to look at everyone's ya cause some people for me


like I mean as much as like suka hati lah you nak buat apa dengan you punya instagram tapi sometimes know what they share sometimes buat me uncomfortable so macam I sometimes tak nak tengok ya so I macam okay ya ah


ya !wah! , I can't really I can't really like remember specifically who but there are lah people I will just be like ah no no no no no just I next


but but for some reason I use instagram a lot to look at babies , oh cute gila ya cause sometimes they will just like all the macam celebrity punya anak [kan] they all like !ee! geram lah


really really cute like I cannot stop watching all this baby stuff all these babies and their faces


ya, especially those ah I really ah I cannot tak boleh , oh my anyway , have you been to like macam uh any weddings like since since phase two


is it yang young counsel eh, she got married, she got married, (mmhmm)


what, few days [jer], (mmhmm) (mmhmm), letters hantar surat [jer]


oh okay oh okay okay ah ya and then


but, !aww! that's cute , (uh huh) uh


oh and then got pushback ah, oh cause, oh and then like, (uh huh)


a'ah, eh


ya ya


through what through what, like literally letter, oh my god, it's so it it I cause it sounds no I mean like, I mean like, it's letter right I mean letters macam take time [kan] untuk like untuk reach the recipients and it's like I mean I feel like dia macam you know orang dulu dulu punya way of like coupling


oh my god how cannot, no I mean, okay I mean okay ah I think for me right even if you want to keep things like quote unquote macam traditional [kan] I would at least use email lah you know


I mean, but that one email lah I cannot ah letters


like kira macam you know it's like kira macam you have to really


I I think it's cute lah but then it's just something that I don't think I would I would want to go through


ah I see, err okay okay, I mean they they macam taking it taking it slow ah


oh, !huh! what that's not taking it slow !huh! serious, it's so weird


it, oh okay okay okay oh that's even more traditional , eh but but like personal question personal question


personal question personal question, like, would you like if macam let's say your parents nak matchmake you would you would you like be open to it


if lah if, what, , really, like your your current love life, you would or you wouldn't


oh wouldn't, eh okay okay interesting interesting, but then okay okay okay okay okay I mean look okay if you were to change the situation [kan] macam for example


since you cakap you ada someone already like kira you are seeing someone tapi like if you were to change like the whole situation for example if you are done with your studies [kan] dah habis belajar then like you not dating anyone


would you you would ah, you would ah okay interesting, ,


, really you ask before, !alamak! tapi nak cari dekat mana ,


really oh my god, !alamak!, , oh my, okay understood understood


(mmhmm), you will be open to it ah interesting interesting I don't know cause, !hais! I I feel like


for okay bila comes to like my love life right I I'm the type of person yang if we vibe we vibe ah so if like from the start if we can't really click then I don't think that that's like hope in it so I will just like you know what it's not it's not happening so ya so to be matchmake right I think for someone like me it's gonna be hard lah it's gonna be very hard


ya cause, I, ah I lebih prefer things to be like to happen like naturally , I mean I mean I know lah like macam like when it comes to like matchmaking like it's like it it takes time you have to like get to know the person and stuff


so macam I don't know I'm so like to answer your question I tak sure ah whether I can actually, go on with it or not it depends who depends on the like candidate that it's been picked for me but then again like ah similar lah to your parents my parents tak macam gitu ah so ya


I mean I would say my non-existent love life lah as of right now , so ya, maybe maybe maybe if I'm like desperate enough then maybe lah


maybe like really like reach a certain age then I think I should get married and I don't have anyone then maybe ah I will resort to that but like, I nak lah tapi you know I feel like I've other things to settle think like love is like the last thing I would want to think about ah


like I think I have other things to like think about like right now like like I need I need to figure out what I want to do with my degree, and then you know from there on like more on like working on myself first lah then I can think of like things cause like I don't know like to have like sekarang to have love life like right now


it's like not much ideal for me ah cause I feel that I don't even have time for myself like I'm just so busy with school so like to to have like someone in my life right now it's like , ya it's not that it's going to distract me ah it's just that I don't I don't know if I can actually fully commit to it you know


ya it's more of that cause like you know obviously school would come first I just so busy with school I'll just be so caught up with school I don't think I would have time for my significant other if I were to ever have one like right now


ya ya ya ya that's why so malas lah also like, cause like I had like previous like history with like bad breakups so it's like I really malas and tired want to like start again and to to meet someone new no I don't want


ya ya ya malas ah, I really don't want I just macam uh like I would, I would just like I like currently just enjoy that like the apa company of like my friends regardless of gender lah like whatever guy or girl just like enjoy it being friends but nothing beyond that I hope


ya for now for now lah, but we're like what like what age like do you think you get married


, ah after your studies, like twenty three


, I thought so too, I thought so too, ha ha ha ha jokes on me right jokes on us , no like I'm finishing my studies and yet


, I think, I think everyone would think like macam they would get married like after their studies no like everything will be nicely like arranged but right now I'm like


I'm like entering final year and like look at my look at my love life it's just crying for help so it's like no I think if possible then I would say I would give myself like hopefully the next five years or so


minimum, like maybe to build like my career first and everything then I can think about other stuff,


cause like I think to just have degree is not enough so like I feel like I need to like oh like what do I say how do I say this macam build up build myself up more in terms of education baru macam stable


to have like better jobs and everything [kan] to have like like a proper stable career then like then then can lah then boleh lah then can lah


eh it's good catching up with you though, ya you know when you don't have like classes


okay then bye take care, bye


hello can you hear me well, hello can you hear me clearly, hello I can hear you can you


oh really wait wait am am I dekat now, still jauh eh, serious I'm very distant eh jap jap eh wait wait am I am I am I am I closer now


hello is it better now, ah alright that's great alright okay so ya how you


you just finished exams, how is it, how how how's your results


unexpectedly good ya ya ya ya same ah, mine I would say ah alhamdulillah I'm I'm very grateful for the results cause I expected worse but I guess my lecturers were just being lenient ah


I'm so thankful for that, I mean like ya ya I mean our I would say assessments though like I didn't expect to get bad marks, so ya


(mmhmm), assignments, (mmhmm) (hmm)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm) (mmhmm)


ya ya ya like, ah


(mmhmm) (mmhmm) (hmm), (mmhmm) true true true true true


I mean to me it's good in a way like all the lessons are pre-recorded so like I mean in times like you are not really focus during the class or the period of that class you can always go back to the recordings lah because like if we ya I mean like


ya but you you don't really get the quality of the teaching ah like ya as you said ah traditional traditional methods are the best ah, but then ya obviously but then I mean like what can we do right in the midst of this pandemic like !aiya! I appreciate lah they they still continue classes through online cause like some of our friends like


from like ya from different universities they don't even have like those online classes right ya, and ya I I mean, I really appreciate for the university swift updates and all lah like they really accommodate to the international students I mean like they have to since it's an it's international university


and all right ya lah I really appreciate that part ya


(mmhmm) I mean, okay it's really draining, , err cause like the, the usual physical examination like we had the the ya I mean usually we we uh our exam punya duration would be like three hours right


ya then like this time round it's like six hours and ya there's this one subject I mean the exam was like, for two days ah for forty eight hours ah so that was really crazy ah


I I couldn't sleep well I couldn't even eat well or like even rest lah because like I mean like each time you want to do like your own stuff or like, , uh know, ya like


cause ya but but but but it's not the usual ah question answer kind of thing ah cause ya ya cause it's like I'm taking it uh for this for this forty hours exam is like it's it's it's err what's the subject oh education secondary uh educational psychology nya subject so it's like


(hmm) so they gave us forty hours to like do I mean uh I need to do videos presentation videos so I mean ya it's, it's very like it's very and for the for the amount given ya but also for the amount given lah so it's really appropriate lah I would say reasonable reasonable timing


ya, ya , ya but then I mean like if if they were to shorten it I don't think I can finish in time ah


ya ya ya cause like my my lecturer told us lah err beforehand she was like ya for educational psychology ya you guys have an exception of like forty eight hours for the exams then we were like !huh! really forty eight hours then she she she was like


ah later you see the questions and you know why I give you forty eight hours, so ya so when I'm given the question then I was like, okay now I understood why, but ya I mean, ah I mean like I think she she I mean I I scored well so ya I'm good


there there were like five sections ah five questions five five questions, sorry sorry banyak [kan] !aiya! but, no sorry uh five questions ah


can you hear me well, can you hear me well can you hear me


really now, now, now how about now, no difference eh wait eh let me see


hello, it's still the same is it, serious ah, I'm like I'm using like the normal earpiece one


oh serious, is it macam like I I sound very distant, really ah but then if I take out this earpiece then , okay can you, okay


serious eh (uh huh), (mmhmm)


okay, !wow! okay and then


(mmhmm), (uh huh) !huh!


(mmhmm) (hmm), oh okay


(mmhmm), the requirements eh, two hundred fifty, !wow! ya ya ya ya


(mmhmm) (hmm) true true true true, (mmhmm), four hours ya lah but then eleven questions [seh], still , eleven essays eh,


oh no, (mmhmm) (hmm) but did you finish the questions finish lah


!huh! true, (mmhmm), ya ya ya ya ya cause you think that you have a lot of time right so you be like okay I have a lot of time


true true true true


(mmhmm) very eyes straining right (mmhmm), not ideal lah ya ya, worse eh


(mmhmm) true true true true


, ya lah ya lah


, true true true true, ya


true lah but then your results okay, wait did we talk about results ya, oh ya lah ya lah, (mmhmm)


(uh huh) !huh!, uh (hmm)


(mmhmm), oh my god I've been there like ya there was this one time ah I was really sleepy like I but I know I need to join the class lah I mean for attendance purposes


then I was like okay I need to come to the class but then I am really sleepy so I did was !aiya! I join the class I join the google I join the google meet then uh I just put at the side lah I mean beside me then I slept then when I woke up


(hmm) my lecturers and friends have left the chat already I mean that the google meet session then I was like okay I'm alone , serious , okay how many times how many times


how many times, , (mmhmm)


ya ya ya true true


ya ya ya ya exactly exactly, (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


oh my god, , oh my god you guys are in the same boat ah eh


(uh huh) !huh! !huh!, ya ya ya ya true lah like cause, true true true true true true true


ya lah like, ya cause like ya I get what you mean what you trying to say


I think I think most most of our most of my lecturers are good I just appreciate them so much ah like this sem cause they were like, ya they they they they ask us ah like are you guys okay, ya like if you I mean you know some some wouldn't be okay with like having group assignment right


cause like due to I don't know maybe different time zones or such so they like give us like options if you want to do like if you want to go for like individual err individual or like group assignment ah things like that lah so like they like I would say they cater and accommodate to us ah to our needs ah


but then ya she mentioned ah like cause ya cause the university asked them to do so, but then ya then there's there's this lecturer was like, oh they usually ask us to tell the students that it's, okay uh, I mean like to go lenient on them ah but then she she like somehow like rant to us ranted to us ah she was like but then they never


uh take care of their like the the the lecturers lah like cause they are also like going through new things right like to have like a full-fledged ah online classes is equally like very uh what difficult for them lah basically


so it's like ya it's like a new thing (mmhmm) cause, ya ya ya ya true true true true


(mmhmm), ya ya ya,


oh really


(mmhmm), oh,


true true true true true, !aiyo! patience


(mmhmm) ya ya ya ya ya


(mmhmm),


oh okay okay okay


ya lah ya lah ya lah ya lah


(mmhmm), (mmhmm) (hmm), hope they ya ya ya


ya ya ya ya true true true, oh no, ya ya ya ya ya ya


ya ya ya true true true true, ya ya ya ya


oh my god that's so frustrating no cannot I don't like hello hello are you there okay, oh ya, (mmhmm)


, ya and you no need to ya ya like you no need to consider I mean their opinions and like you can just you can just go with what you want or what you have


ya ya ya ya, ya true true true true true


ya ya ya, ya ya, eh you no need to feel , you no need to feel guilty about like let's say like, it's wrong or something cause it's just your own what


true true true true true, , really, ya I mean like my classes started already last week ya so ya ya like she agreed on having like ya


ya ya exactly I was like oh I I'm back to the school like in the classes ya so I mean I'm I'm only taking one one subject which is


so she we agreed on like having the synchronisation only on tuesday and thursday so ya I'm good with that and if you ya it only takes like an hour instead of an hour one hour fifteen minutes so it's like okay very good


ya and she's she's nice lah you know okay lah, okay ah I mean like


ya ya, ya merdeka ya tu lah, (mmhmm), CB it's it's been like I mean like ah cause like we are forced to stay at home unless you have like necessities ah like


like you want to buy groceries and such ah I mean ya so I mean I mean I'm good ah I I mean I think, that I just like to stay at home so I've been coping it well ah I would say I binge watch drama cause like I mean cause we haven't started our classes right ya


so I've only like I I I'm taking these I mean I I took that time like to actually like watch all the drama I missed, and ya before I actually started the online classes lah ya you should watch you should try watching uh the good place ah it's on netflix


it's it's the the good place yes yes yes, uh cerita dia like it's about cerita dia it's about like this person


uh she okay it's about afterlife ah basically, so it's like they haven't offered the heaven or the hell kind of thing ya so it's like the good place I mean in a sense is like the heaven and the bad place is the hell, so ya so she realised that she's bad and she's placed in the good place then she was wondering lah like


she actually shared err same name with the other with another person and ya she's supposed to actually be placed in the bad place, and that ya that particular person cause that particular person is a lawyer so she she's she's I would say she's done good lah like I mean she she ya she fight for people and all right so ya lah so she's also like why am I why am I in the bad place and such so I mean you should watch ah


this one basically [kan] this this person ah she she met a friend an an ethics professor then then ethics professor ah she ah he taught her he taught her ah about ethics yes and such ah I mean it's so good ah ya ya ya ya

oh, (oo), (mmhmm)


!wah!, [orh]


that's so scary , (ppc), (mmhmm)


!wah!, !wah!


!aiyo! <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> that's so that's so creepy, (ppc), oh !wah! then no one nobody would know like what's going on


what's really going on, oh


!wah! then like it's so it's like halfway only is it halfway only, oh !wah! that's that's damn long, the show


okay, me, actress, I don't know leh, Netflix It's Okay to Be Not Okay


I don't <mandarin>我不记得她们的名字:wo bu ji de ta men de ming zi</mandarin> leh, [orh] , !aiya! <mandarin>其他韩国的女人还:qi ta han guo de nv ren hai</mandarin> okay


, !aiya! <mandarin>最喜欢是那个:zui xi huan shi na ge</mandarin> Blackpink, eh <mandarin>这样不可以不可以这样讲:zhe yang bu ke yi bu ke yi zhe yang jiang</mandarin> leh


oh yeah <mandarin>对对对对对:dui dui dui dui dui</mandarin> that's good that's good, okay anyway, for movies I mean


lately I never watch a lot of movies, I mean besides the It's Okay Not to Be Okay like, the past few month, I haven't been like watching a lot of show, like <mandarin>现在没时间:xian zai mei shi jian</mandarin> lor like


!aiya! <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> like


just watch show play games, then like don't really have time to, watch shows and all, but, (hmm)


like like Brawl Stars and all, , ah like that one also, but, !aiya! like phone games it's just to pass time, yeah, then


but shows-wise like, I I wouldn't say like, recently I'm watching a lot of show but I'll just talk about like, what kind of show I really enjoyed, so like one of the shows that I really enjoy is err, Sherlock Holmes so it's like


detective ah detective show, then like, like it's damn cool lor so, like the detective like, cases of, murder


err murder robbery, then, like, very intense then like !wah! like, it's damn nice lah like in that I don't I don't really know how to describe


but, is is is something that that, people should just watch then you will understand, 'cause, err <mandarin>不会:bu hui</mandarin> lah <mandarin>可是很:ke shi hen</mandarin> like intense, you know like


a lot of high stakes situation then like, then it just makes like the, the, viewer like, on like on their seats then like !wah!, what's going to happen next what's gonna happen next is this person going to die is this wrong person gonna die


so, like in that sense the show is quite captivating lor, then then you also, like, doesn't really have, many episodes like each season only, like <mandarin>三三个:san san ge</mandarin> episode


ah <mandarin>四个:si ge</mandarin> ah but, <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> episode like, one and a half hour, ah like so like


episode like very, very long, but then like is on one theme lor, but each theme, like usually they will, they will pass down the theme on so like, so like maybe at the end on like episode three then you just like eh


isn't this thing from episode one then like !wah! damn cool, cause, cause like, it's eventually all link is not like one, one occurrence one occurrence like that lor,


, , [orh] like <mandarin>韩国的东西:han guo de dong xi</mandarin> lah


(mmhmm), , [orh] I feel like, or like, taking it slow is okay eh because


like when they take slow then you really get to know like, the character well like <mandarin>你真的会:ni zhen de hui</mandarin> like, like, understand <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> like <mandarin>为什么他们做这个为什么做那个:wei shen me ta men zuo zhe ge wei shen me zuo na ge</mandarin> like, like there's character development lor like


compared to like K drama K drama like, it's usually like, very linear, in that sense, no <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> meh, okay lah but I like, but got the but


but for most shows I feel is like a bit linear, like <mandarin>男主角女主角:nan zhu jue nv zhu jue</mandarin> then like go through like, no but they go through some certain issues at first then like at first they don't like each other, then because of what happened then they fall in love then like


sometimes a bit predictable, you know, but okay Western Western shows also, cannot say not predictable lah, but, is, it's just more thrilling in that sense


yeah, then, (hmm), [orh] I think is, just, [orh] The Crown oh yeah The Crown


okay but that one, part of it documentary, somewhat part documentary part, drama because, you really like


during her reign, then, show them like, the struggles she had lah so, like the the one I'm watching right now is like because


, husband I think, tied down to to his duties of the, of the crown, because


because he can't married err Queen Elizabeth, then he will he will bear the the, the title of a king, you know, so but then he doesn't like that lah he just likes being carefree and all because he was actually from the navy


then he was a lieutenant there, then, , he went on to marry Queen Elizabeth ah, then, then, it reach the point then <mandarin>他受不了:ta shou bu liao</mandarin> then, he just, just


no lah no lah he, okay, the part I was watching <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> almost like, divorce, but, because, as king and queen of England


right if they divorce right it breaks the, I think the the the religious laws of the I think church of England lah ha, yeah so, so if they divorce right the, the crown cannot be of someone


who is divorced, so then they all, got a lot of, uh problem lor so when got a lot of problem then, she won't be able to hold the crown then she will have to pass on to the to the heir, which is


ya which their new next heir is just a three year old kid, , yeah, so, ah so


so, no lah <mandarin>因:yin</mandarin> cause


err suffered from err lung cancer cause, because he very stressed during world war two then he always smoke, yeah then, then he passed on, then end up err she succeeded him, yeah at a very young age


that's why she, yeah so


yeah so it's either like, her if, I think, yeah then after that would be Queen Margaret but Queen Margaret also like is a socialite lah like, she goes around party here and all, so like


yeah, , ah but but that guy because they separated the guy because the guy was a divorcee, so nobody in the, royal family like it's not cannot lah but it's a it's a big taboo like


taboo to marry someone who is a divorcee, whose, the person they divorce is still alive, yeah so, but then but then they end up not marrying each other lah, because


cause because of their, they have to fulfill their duties instead of like, like for love or, , yeah quite <mandarin>可惜:ke xi</mandarin> lah but like, it's like that lor , then what happen


next was, oh yeah so there was this, issue where, the, the king, the King Charles he went on, there was a scandal like, ah she went out with this


russian ballerina girl, then, then the there's rumours spreading then, then then rumor spread then people thought like the marriage very shaky then it is indeed quite shaky lah cause, cause they were on like, this commonwealth tour that they travel around like


the British colonies around the world, then they will be they were separated for like three months, yeah so, so like the Queen got very upset knowing that, like the the husband do all this kind of thing


yeah, err I mean, at the at the back of my head <mandarin>我看:wo kan</mandarin> soon like, eh they they do all these here and there like got a lot of problems here and there but then like


so I guess, I guess it's like that, I don't think they also can I don't think, divorcing is a very easy option for them, yeah, I remember they say that like


like, many people can just like if the lover don't like each other then you can just divorce, but the Queen said that, it's not an option for both of us, so I guess, they just stuck with it, but I never continue watching after that cause


like somewhat got a bit bored in some sense, , but it's quite interesting lah it's like history lesson like that lor, but put into the


perspective of the queen, yeah cause, (hmm), (uh huh), boring person,


but, like your kind of shows is is what kind like what what like interest,


oh you cannot take horror ah, oh,


!huh! I mean, romance romance show is is just a common thing among everyone


(mmhmm), , yeah it's always like that, (mmhmm)


oh yeah then, yeah because like you get to slowly know like every one of them then you know like, how they interact with each other then like damn cool like that


ah, , yeah, but shows, do you generally watch like a lot of shows or like you are more like


like reading kind of person, why leh


, , (uh huh) I don't think you read enough though like got some I read is quite


err for me, but I thought fiction is where like the interesting things happen, [orh] cause


non-fiction, [orh] biography lah,


!wah! then, like it's only a few that you're gonna watch


I yeah yeah yeah yeah, but now got like ebooks mah ebooks then they have subscription base as well, and you just, you just


like, okay lah I think cause books like are generally quite long, alright and they're very like, like some are like one thousand page


, no lor like, that time I read, Lord of the Rings, then it's quite interesting lah, because, because like it's it's like pop culture lor you <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> everywhere they they also mention like


they borrow some context from like Lord of the Rings then like people make, references to like or how like the show and like the book has a great influence on the pop culture, yeah


like, like you know the the eye of sauron like the big eye from Lord of the Rings, no !aiya! that means you, you don't even have knowledge of this kind so like, what happens, what happens is like the eye right is like the


the the main villain, right, then, then he, then he just, his eye is so, powerful that like


scorch like burn through every single land that he can see, so, yeah so, yeah so, so like anything that touch like his eye can see right will just burn instantly, yeah so it's


something like that so like it's about this, okay, I only, read like the first book but I got the general gist of the entire thing it's like, about this, few people like <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> like <mandarin>他们很小小子:ta men hen xiao xiao zi</mandarin> lah they are called hobbits


right, ah then it's just their journey to like, like destroy the ring cause, the ring will corrupt whoever, uses it, yeah


uh yeah but because, so the more you use it the more you are, tempted to continue using it lah, right so, so like


if you tempted right then, if you tempted by the power then like you become the evil person instead lor, main, main hobbit, which is Frodo and then


his friends, like like Samuel then, then his best friend Sam then <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> like help each other go through this journey, ah so like quite cool lah


[orh], [orh] like for Narnia I, I only like, watch the show, Harry Potter also but Harry Potter also never watch finish, entire thing
