so when he tried okay ah let me continue my TikTok so when he tried to think of like a creative way to, err market for this err like think of a new marketing campaign for the company he was working at so he didn't want to do like the genetic ways like you know advertise or like billboards or like or like MRT trains or I don't know subways or or like even social media posting on social media because these are they no common ones so err and the target audience audience for this campaign was university students so what he did was he took a bunch of like that


ping pong balls in the table tennis while someone's we use for table tennis and then he got the pit err what is it called QR code scan and graved on the on those ping pong balls and then he walked up to like bunch of university students were seated at like the university cafe and then he just pretended like he tripped and fell so that all the ping pong balls


go down and then the students will help came pick up so when the students picked up they will obviously intrigued when they saw those QR codes right so up and down the editor than wanted the officer took out their phones and they scanned it upper down on down again to to oh it's actually an advertisement for accompany err


it's actually an advertisement for accompany


ah <tamil>நிறையா பேரு வந்து:niraiyaa peru vanthu</tamil> they don't really think out of the box I mean okay, true okay true lah you have to you know people do try but I feel like with this liike current


you know curriculum we really are like restricted to


anyway so I I just want to say like it was very interesting like I really didn't expect this because, no one will expected obviously like if someone drop something or like drop some random books you'll obviously go forward and help them but you'll never expect people to


you know reach out to you in this way it's very interesting ya so I was thinking of like implementing this for my like like if I could you know get inspired and use a like similar ways from my presentations and projects


ya, true


so another thing lah I'm so excited I mean like I I wouldn't say I'm so excited obviously err I got better things to do but I am I just want to know who is gonna get animated like you said vacant might be direct through lah but I feel like you know some part of me pities ah I feel like


I don't know she could


but I feel like you know obvious if I was in the same simple four in her shoes right I would also feel slightly triggered on like annoyed if Teban doing like what I told them to when like they were playing around because after all it's a competition you are there to win it ya I feel I would get really annoyed


ya ya I get it, true, I agree


ya I mean like, true lah but what to do, okay but but who do you think might win the game, like ya who do you think might win, I am interested to make input wait how long is it ah <tamil>நூறு நாட்கள்:nooru naatkal</tamil> so hundred ya hundred days is it ya I think it's hundred days so I I don't know who might win but I feel like


the guys will probably dominate the final, ya because, I don't know because they they don't get how do I say it I mean like, they don't really get triggered very quickly they don't err lash out or like react very quickly compared to like the other female contestants like not I'm not saying generally live but


for example how err Anita Sanam they do react quickly like oh but few rio seem short tempered ya he really lashed out at


ya I didn't expect it from I mean like I was never a fan of rio but at the same time I never expected it, ya


so, how does he oh my god accounting what I learn now is so hard like I'm, ya, so like it is so hard


I don't know what to do like whenever like each semester right I feel like, how do I say like each semester I feel like it is hard and then the next semester ah you get a you you you it's an ex you know accounting err


it's a next accounting topic and then you feel like it's even harder so I don't know like so it gets worse every single semester I don't even know how to say this like <tamil>ரொம்ப புழிஞ்சு எடுக்குறாங்க:romba pulinju edukkuraanga</tamil> like how do I say it


err so in this semester right you're learning something about bonds and plus our ya bonds assets funds okay I won't go to specific to it won't get into the technical stuff so, ya and then next week we have a presentation and


we we are tested on a topic that was stored like online, like usually we have physical lessons but this one was taught online so and we thought since it was E learning lesson we thought obviously it will be easy however when we looked at the question like beyond


they are expecting asked right present the correct answer and everything and the worst thing is we cannot even


asked the professor for help, alright, in every because it's I think it's a Zoom account that has problem because is seems mine not working very fine


right okay lah ya, ya, oh wait yours is the free account is it, no the university help if you use a university email right it's free


you don't need to pay for for, or you have to use their university email if you use the because the university provides subsidies for like a lot of websites are actually you know like few few few years ago they actually provide like subsidies from the financial times I thing or like all those financial journals that people have to like subscribe monthly pay like fifty hundred dollars but they actually cut it down I don't know budget cut or something but <tamil>இப்ப வந்து:ippa vanthu</tamil> I didn't even know like at the starting urban I was taking tuition


oh, , oh, oh my god , oh my god okay lah but they adapt to junior college is we know about it got have a button got a lot of budget issues tight budget but like ya NTU even like for my projects right like if for we had to get some like data set online to buy those for although to get all those you need to pay money but then turns out if you if you access using your university email it's actually free so have a university actually


it's free for us lah even like the course at our courses like this Zoom account it's free so ya so you don't need to worry about the forty five minutes smart, ya, you have your paying eight thousand okay lah true true ya


oh ya I just told you about the marketing campaign I saw on TikTok what <tamil>அதுக்குல்ல மறந்துட்டியா:athukulla maranthuttiyaa</tamil> ya so that's why okay I like so I I'm okay amiss alike the guy he used pingpong balls and grey


I don't know who you let me tell you something like I noticed after watching a lot of the TikTok okay so let's see so I was like extremely addicted to TikTok that is one thing I don't know who ya there is <tamil>தெரிஞ்ச விஷயம்:therinja visayam</tamil> like <tamil>யாரா இருந்தாலும்:yaaraa irunthaalum</tamil> I think you will get addicted buster the coded it or like they make it make the algorithm in such a way that


he did it this this what I'm saying like they make the algorithm in such a way that it caters towards you lah so obviously I don't watch all those aunties and uncles during TikTok I have this I I won't get all those that we are this to show on Netflix call social


dilemma dilemma or something, Subway what is it, ya something like that they talk about how, how social media companies actually like exploit us mentally to earn more profits and all those stuff


ya, oh ya for TikTok right I realise that , after getting addicted to TikTok I stopped watching youtube at all even Netflix as source stopped it but like after some time I forced myself to not be addicted to TikTok and then start watching like you know others


ya, why because I feel like, our attention span I don't know I read this research saying that our attention span has been getting smaller and smaller like I don't know there's something about like attention span of a goldfish right something like ya so getting smaller and smaller right too I feel like TikTok caters to that like each video is maximum one minute I think so ah at the end of the one minute it will immediately scroll to the next one oh no no no it will replay so you can just swipe up it's like very easy so so they make it the they have programmed it in such a way that


we will be constantly addicted to it ya and the surprising thing is there are a lot of adults like the older folks are using it I'm surprised like you know I have seen like grandparents using the TikTok but it's hilarious like they are damn hilarious ya


do you have TikTok, eh Meena they show you what the way you search the way you like so you like those guy


oh, ya


oh


oh <tamil>நான் பாக்கல:naan paakkala</tamil> I didn't see the interview but only I don't know the only interview I saw like many months ago was Vanita getting so offended with people walking with her married marking are married


how ya, oh ya I saw on like, YouTube that Vanita went on like a holiday trip with her family and her husband to go ah ya, oh ya


ya true true but I feel like it's very irresponsible of her like being a social figure like people I don't know some people will look up to her right and then during COVID especially in india COVID is so the number of COVID cases has been like so high I think it's number one in the world like I'm not sure it's either going to be number one or it's number one I'm not really sure but and then it and then there's Vanita or like other social media figures whatever influences being so careless and just going anywhere they wish without even being responsible without even wearing mask or whatever


but also right ya, I feel like they they need to be more active and like advocating for all these issues you know they have a good platform for this


ya that's to it, , oh <tamil>ஆமா ஆமா பாத்தேன் அந்த எதோ ஒரு:aamaa aamaa paathaen antha etho oru</tamil> video


oh, oh


so don't move your phone a lot ya <tamil>வேறென்ன:verennaa</tamil> what else do ya ya ya, err what else can we do


!huh!, err #bukit batok#, so eh what, ya, no lah but it's still a bit far away right so I don't know he went to #bukit batok# I check Grab it was fourteen dollars then I check the ComfortDelGro said fourteen


oh ya ya ya same I was you know I was going, to university and then the uncle was like, we should go this way or that way then I'm like !huh! do you uh do I look like I know the route then then I thought okay lah but like people at our age you know how to drive they do drive for freeboard through ya

oh, wait you appointed to the eh the rook the frame is behind you ya


oh, ya, oh


oh, wait maybe they sell it individually because err like there's this shop under my house like in like, void deck lah they sell kampung chicken I mean kampung chicken kampung eggs ya


and these okay they do sell it individually but they sell it I think in groups of five or six I'm not sure so maybe thats why lah


oh, I feel like they offered free delivery right, ya, !wow!


wait, they won't do this what I feel like FoodPanda won't allow this maybe the shop wanted to get rid of it ya but she can always leave like bad reviews or even get refunded I feel you can get refunded right


ya but I'm telling you that she won't do this this Priya won't go and, this, would go and likely write a bad review or like initiate and ask for refund she's that kind of person


but I don't know <tamil>இதுல வந்து என்ன:ithula vanthu enna</tamil> feel bad <tamil>பண்றதுக்கு இருக்குனு:pandrathukku irukkunu</tamil> ya

oh my god


[oh]


okay how's life what did you do


is this considered like cultural perspective also


no lah citation itself takes a long time <tamil>சும்மா:summa</tamil> easy ah <tamil>பண்றதில்ல:panrathilla</tamil> you know the PW experience and all I was not part of citation lah <tamil>அதுனாலஎனக்குதெரியாது:adhunala enaku theriyathu</tamil> but friend <tamil>தான்எல்லாத்தையும்பண்ணிட்டுருந்தான்:than ellathayum panniturunthan</tamil> the guy died whoever did citation for PW I feel I feel err great honour for them that shit is so hard to do


researcher research and err because because I was doing target audience so target audience <tamil>வந்து:vandhu</tamil> like major research <tamil>தானேஅதுக்கப்புறம்:thane adhukapuram</tamil> I was also in charge of editing lah but not the bibliography or the english it's you know because my my PW two weeks before submission we had five thousand words you know we need to cut down to three thousand what so I was doing the part of like


but still haven't finish and they are still adding instead of editing it and like making it to a short paragraph concise information they are still adding information cause still haven't finish mah then also because ours was like more on the scientific part right cause like


uh seat belt safety then we were talking about all the car designs and everything that we're supposed to do so <tamil>அந்த:andha</tamil> lah research <tamil>பண்ணிஅதுக்குவந்து:panni adhuku vandhu</tamil> evidence <tamil>கொடுக்குறதுக்குஅதையும்நான்பண்ணேன்:kodukurathuku adhayum nan pannen</tamil> I was I was thinking like <tamil>நம்ம:namma</tamil> proposal <tamil>குள்ளபோகவேண்டாம்:kullapoga vendam</tamil> because like seat belt safety the technology you know like I I don't really know so I don't want to go in like be like some blur Sotong don't know what to do so I was like I will I will just do everything two case study and like maybe if I do have any ideas I will update you guys I which


I didn't have any so I was editing instead of giving ideas for the proposal so they are all all the other of my groupmates they were doing all the addition of information or addition but they were just adding bullshit nothing nothing important they just throw in all the words then I'm like


the style of writing, you know each of them have a style of writing right but <tamil>அதுவந்து:adhu vandhu</tamil> paragraph <tamil>பார்க்கும்போது:parkumpothu</tamil> it doesn't sync it feels like single single ya flow <tamil>இல்ல:illa</tamil> so <tamil>நான்:nan</tamil> flow <tamil>பண்ணுவேன்:pannuven</tamil> group mate flow <tamil>பண்ணுவான்:pannuvan</tamil> another person would edit the flow it keeps changing it's not like one one person do it eventually in the end it was me and and Zifeng lah we were doing the editing in the end


but ya at at one point it became like everybody started to do the the editing part that it didn't it didn't sync and it always change and it was like so hard to maintain a sort of like standard uh information


you guys created electric toothbrush or what


ours we we we went to a car showroom <tamil>அங்கபொய்:anga poi</tamil> interview <tamil>பண்ணுவேன்எனாஎன்னோட:pannuven yena ennoda</tamil> group mate <tamil>அம்மாவந்து:amma vandhu</tamil> sales manager work <tamil>பண்ணிட்ருந்தாங்க:pannitrunthanga</tamil> so <tamil>நம்மஅந்த:namma andha</tamil> the car showroom <tamil>போயிட்டுஅங்கஇருக்குறஅந்த:poitu anga irukura andha</tamil> err <tamil>அங்கஇருக்குறவங்ககிட்டவந்துநம்ம:anga irukuravangakita vandhu namma</tamil> interview <tamil>பண்ணனும்:pannanum</tamil> the sales person the I don't know


I don't know ah they also talk about the injured part a of the cars and everything but specifically we're talking about seatbelts so it was not so niche that you need a special like a special person like a specific err, I don't know car manufacturer or something to go and talk to lah so we just talked to the sales people then they you know they would know what all the safety features of the car and like they also described like is it really important it is the seat belt err plays a really a key role in let's say safety and stuff like that


no need what it was <tamil>என்னோட:ennoda</tamil> the group mate <tamil>ஓட அம்மாதானே:oda ammathane</tamil> we just ya we just spontaneously we asked his mum like when can we come when are you free and then she told like err two three days like certain days where like it's not really crowded so like I mean not like everyday is crowded lah but like just in case you know avoid like peak period and all like and also like days when


me and like it was me two other guys so like the days we didn't have CCA and all so no other appointments and flash lah so we went in the evening and it's not that far it's quite close by then we just went and we stay like an hour and a half ya that's about it because we only had one place to go and the only place we will get our information from so we just one shot we spoke and everything so was pretty long lah one and a half hours


but like <tamil>அதபத்திபேசாமஇருக்கமாட்டோம்:adha paththi pesama irukamatom</tamil> will always be part of like an experience we know what


!wow! it has helped me hell lot so much help


and all public speaking <tamil>உனக்குஎதுக்குகாசுவாயதொறந்தாலேவளவளவளன்னு:unaku edhuku kaasu vaya thoranthale valavalanu</tamil> full lah <tamil>பேசுவஉனக்குஎதுக்குதெரியல:pesuva unaku edhuku theriala</tamil> public speaking help <tamil>தெரியல:theriala</tamil> I don't know, eh but one good thing my group mates all of them are like err confident speakers lah so it wasn't difficult some groups they really it it was really hard for them cause they are not they are not the kind of people like <tamil>எனா:yena</tamil> lah <tamil>முன்னாடி:munnadi</tamil> like class <tamil>முன்னாடியேபேசமாட்டாங்க:munnadie pesa matanga</tamil> not the kind of people my class a lot of people that I mean


generally they if you get to know them right they will talk to you other than that like class <tamil>முன்னாடியோ:munnadio</tamil> question <tamil>கூடகேட்கமாட்டாங்க:kooda ketka matanga</tamil> they are pretty shy about all those things so like <tamil>அந்தமாதிரிநெறய:andha madhiri neraya</tamil> groups <tamil>இருந்தாங்க:irunthanga</tamil> they also had like troubles but I think our group was okay but like over smart lah my group had all the very very confident speaker so like don't need to prepare own time own target I'm like okay if you all know then that's great


they all rap through their four minutes oh speech no because like proposal explain <tamil>பண்ணவங்களுக்குவந்துநெறய:pannavangaluku vandha neraya</tamil> content <tamil>இருந்துது:irunthuthu</tamil> so <tamil>கொஞ்சம்:konjam</tamil> they had to speak fast but <tamil>நான்வந்து:nan vandhu</tamil> first speaker !wah! I was so surprised actually they chose to be the first speaker because the are like I will do the first speaker


ah you know because the thing is first speaker <tamil>வந்து:vandhu</tamil> target audience intro and err second speaker <tamil>வந்து:vandhu</tamil> err case study and current measure then third and fourth <tamil>வந்து:vandhu</tamil> proposal because we had two proposal we had the


so <tamil>அத:adha</tamil> explained <tamil>பண்றதுக்குஒருஆளுஅதுக்கப்புறம்:panrathuku oru aalu adhukapuram</tamil> the improvements last part the ending <tamil>அதுக்குஒருஆளு:adhuku oru aalu</tamil> so five people I choose target audience and like I was like all the fancy uh we put all the pictures we put like five six err road accident pictures because of not wearing seat belts and then we flash like err wait uh how I started I don't remember how I started it but <tamil>நான்எப்படிசொன்னேனா:nan epdi sonnena</tamil> oh <tamil>உங்களோட:ungaloda</tamil> err how would you feel if what if your loved ones or someone close to you


err suffered from something like this because they didn't wear seatbelts and stuff like that because they didn't wear seatbelts and all like <tamil>அதுமாதிரிதான்:adhu madhirithan</tamil> start <tamil>பண்ணோம்:pannom</tamil>so it's like pretty interesting lah so my teacher said not bad actually I got it from my senior I ask my senior to send their


no because I didn't know what to write and I wanted to do target audience cause that's what I prepared what so I was like it's okay I will do the first speaker and I know the weightage because if you are the first speaker you are the one introducing the proposal so you really have to be good like cannot be lousy


ya and you set the it it it it is a sort of confidence for your team also if you start well you know they would have that confidence like okay it started off well you know it will continue and like end better than it or whatever it is you have to start is really important


teacher input <tamil>வந்துநெறயஇருந்துச்சுனுசொல்லமுடியாது:vandhu neraya irunthuchunu solla mudiyathu</tamil> but other go like it was too little <tamil>சொல்லமுடியாது:solla mudiyathu</tamil> it was like okay but more than average lah, I mean he did give but he has a lot of other group commitment also because he end class <tamil>பண்ணிட்டாங்க:panitanga</tamil> and we were part of one of the arts class so split <tamil>பன்னவுடனே:pannavudane</tamil> commitment he had six groups so <tamil>அவருவந்துஎல்லோருக்குமே:avaru vandhu ellorukume</tamil> attention <tamil>கொடுக்கவும்:kodukavum</tamil> like you know we had to do a lot of things on our own compared to my other classmate cause my CG my form teacher only had two groups what so like he could he spent a lot of time on both of the groups and


like they had a lot of teachers err help lah but we didn't because we have to split our teacher among six groups so that's kind of sad


talking about a miss Deepa class, almost every one of them got a you know that's the same her previous year her previous year the CG not err previous previous year cause they she won't be CG what <tamil>இப்போ:ipo</tamil> two years <tamil>முன்னாடிதான்இருந்துருப்பாங்கஅப்போ:munnadithan irunthurupanga apo</tamil>under class <tamil>கூடஅவங்கவந்து:kooda avanga vandhu</tamil> under class <tamil>உள்ளவங்ககூட:ullavanga kooda</tamil>err seventy five percent got a


does she tell them the answers or what correct correct no she will really push like she will really give you a lot of correct correct she would train you you know like her GP her GP teaching itself right she put in so much effort for her students I should say


depends on the subject lah math is fine honestly for me math is fine I don't need to go one on one


my teacher never did one on one ask one on one <tamil>பண்ணவேஇல்ல:pannave illa</tamil> he didn't do


ya ya mister Lim is is pretty scary and like how to say he's nice but the problem is he is the kind of teacher he will not tell you the answer he will not tell you the answer


but <tamil>அப்டிநான்அப்டிநான்கேள்விகேட்டதேஇல்ல:apdi nan apdi nan kelvi ketathe illa</tamil> so I don't know how I don't know how that works but like most of the time it's always the carelessness or like things like I never see and he will look through the answer then he would pin point the careless mistakes or like the you know the sign issue or like something like that <tamil>அந்தமாதிரிஏதாவதுனா:andha madhiri edhavathuna</tamil> he will say <tamil>மத்தபடிஅவன்க:maththapadi avanga</tamil>fulla


like <tamil>எனக்குஇதுசெய்யவேதெரியலனுசொல்லிநம்மபோனா:enaku idhu seyyave theriyalanu solli namma pona</tamil> I've never gone like <tamil>அதஎப்படிசொல்வோம்:adha epdi solvom</tamil> I think maybe he would tell you how to start but like he won't show you like oh this is how you do he never does the working when you go consult oh my god so many times in my class


he has sent a lot of us outside before and if we don't do tutorials <tamil>நான்:nan</tamil> tutorial <tamil>எடுத்துட்டுவரலன்னுலாம்சொல்லிட்டுபோயிருக்கேன்:eduthutu varalanulam sollitu poiruken</tamil> but I've done it before like I at once once <tamil>எடுத்துட்டேபோகல:eduthute pogala</tamil> so I totally forgot my file so I just left it at home I was doing tutorials two AM in the morning cause I totally forgot about it


and like ya after dance it was CCA day then I came home ten forty five cause usually dance ends around eight thirty eight forty five ninety nine o'clock lah eight forty five like that then uh it's pretty late eight forty five CCA end you know can you even imagine


I don't know it ends around seven plus eight eight forty five <tamil>அந்தமாதிரிவச்சிக்க:andha madhiri vachika</tamil> then <tamil>வீட்டுக்குபோற:veetuku pora</tamil> because I take seventeen from #pasir ris# <tamil>எனக்கு:enaku</tamil> MRT <tamil>எனக்குரொம்பகால்வலிக்கும்:enaku romba kaal valikum</tamil> I cannot walk seventeen nah school lah <tamil>இருந்துஎடுத்தேநா:irunthu eduthana</tamil> #pasir ris# <tamil>வீட்டுக்குபக்கத்துலஇறக்கிவிட்டுடு:veetuku pakkathula irakki vitutu</tamil> then I just need to walk five minutes from the bus stop


five ten minutes <tamil>வச்சிக்கோ:vachiko</tamil> so it's like long ride lah like at least one hour so if I reach home it will be like nine forty five ten o'clock I know I know it's a longer ride but I rather sit for long time rather than stand cause, ya <tamil>அதெல்லாம்பண்ணனும்:adhellam pannanum</tamil> so by the time it will be like ten forty five let's say I quickly bathe then I take like light snacks <tamil>சாப்டுட்டு:saptutu</tamil> nine eleven thirty eleven thirty five <tamil>ஆயிடும்:ayidum</tamil> then <tamil>ரொம்ப:romba</tamil> tired <tamil>ஆயிடுவேன்:ayiduven</tamil> I cannot function so I go sleep I keep alarm like two three AM I will wake up and quickly do tutorials cause you need at least two hours to do fifteen questions what


fifteen so you do the whole but we won't have to do the whole tutorial it will be like four or five questions only so like just do the selected questions whatever he said to do then do it


statistics I did everything ever since I think since functions functions I did my whole tutorial DRV also I did my whole the function was super interesting so I did the whole tutorial


you know they will put H one questions I can't even do H one questions you know


just the triangle and you subtract that's all


no when we when we started to do differentiation integration is when I realised factors is much doable, dude in sec four I love differentiation integration okay that A math was like super super easy super doable because my E math was like my E math is always one grade lesser than my A math lah so a math was much easier for me I mean a lot of people say A math is easier than E math also so <tamil>அதுனாலஅதுபண்ணிட்டு:adhunala adha pannitu</tamil> secondary school lah A math I was like I love differentiation integration come JC I hate the thing I hated it it's super hard


T test ah oh statistics ah


I think manipulation ah manipulation, but wouldn't but this this year your first year you don't have any math module right


the whole uni cap system is different is it the same card system as the NUS and NTU, I remember seeing how they calculate your cap grade


if I were you I would join some sports thing that's much more interesting

now like it's now it sucks <tamil>நல்லாவேஇல்ல:nallave illa</tamil> funny I mean like maybe one or two thirty minutes shows are okay but like sun music is best I love the thirty minutes err free music that one no err <tamil>அந்த:andha</tamil> thirty minutes <tamil>மட்டும்:mattum</tamil> music <tamil>போடணும்:podanum</tamil> I love that


a very common thing, ya ya you only go for like ten days like really short what


dude Hyderabad is all really good space leh like I've been I've lived in Bangalore so I know how Bangalore is but like I really want to go Hyderabad though, I haven't been there but I I mean like cause I was living and Bangalore because my mom was working there when I was studying in Bangalore


cause she was working at the ex central there I mean like I mean guess what IT <tamil>வேறஎங்கபோவேன்அங்கதானேபோகணும்:vera enga poven angathane poganum</tamil> so she was working in the she was working in Bangalore <tamil>அபோவந்து:apo vandhu</tamil> my sister and I were studying in the same school lah and like Bangalore is pretty chilly then when I ask my mom how's Hyderabad and all then she say Hyderabad also


ah is it cleaner


err


in Chennai I only have one relative who lives there like relative in a sense my cousin brother the one who studied in singapore for his masters that guy's family live there and like how to say we don't really have to go to their house because is that person the the cousin brother his father is actually my


err mums uncle like that but I'm supposed to call him grandmother grandfather lah but he's he's too his son is too he's he's like only a few years older than me so I can't call him grandfather so I call him uncle also lah yes it's super weird like the the cousin is only like six years older than me six or seven is


cannot so that's why only their family lives there but like because of business travel and all he comes to singapore so like err


like correct correct cause my my father side


me and my music and my party finish, oh yeah yeah they are all working


my cousins also weren't my cousin my closest cousin brother he's like the oldest cousin I can say I have a lot of other brothers but like this one is the closest to me by my relation he's going to get married next year also but like so <tamil>அதுனாலஅடுத்தவருஷம்கல்யாணம்நிச்சயதார்த்தம்வந்து:adhunala adutha varusam kalyanam nichayathartham vandhu</tamil> last month <tamil>தான்பண்ணாங்க:than pannanga</tamil> they send pictures and all I saw they send my mom

no lah no lah this one cannot <tamil>அம்பானி:ambani</tamil> is ten hundred times richer that one all richer different so <tamil>அதனால:adhanala</tamil> err


can ah so much money so that's why because of COVID also they cannot arrange like a big wedding what so <tamil>அதனாலஅங்கபொய்கல்யாணம்பண்ணபோறாங்க:adhanala anga poi kalyanam panna poranga</tamil> like they will go meet the err minister or like whoever he is they will sign they will sign the marriage certificate and everything then they will come they will conduct a reception here

okay ours is the whole wedding itself is only one day wedding one day we don't have marriage ceremony because north indians have it and I think muslim wedding ya cause we don't have ceremony and all we only have the ceremony do you guys have that also


basically like you know the it's like the first starting like all the the closest family they come together they change plate and all


we always go nicely on wedding day only we go we only can make it that time


no if it's like really closest relative we have to go lah but like if it's <tamil>நம்மளாலவரமுடியாதுனாலும்:nammalaala varamudiathunalum</tamil> they understand they understand the fact that we can't come two weeks early but we can make it for the wedding day that kind of thing


my pre packed <tamil>பண்ணிட்டு:pannitu</tamil> because I didn't want to miss prom night also what so <tamil>அதுக்காகபோயிருந்தேன்:adhukaga poirunthen</tamil> ya that's why my mum went ah two weeks earlier okay that's why my father say you go first I will bring the kids so my my father stayed with us

then err then that night we flew because we have to make it because the next day is the wedding


I don't know I can't really remember the timing lah but I'm I'm sure like I was damn tired for the wedding I knew I was pretty tired for the wedding

(mmhmm), ah


oh I I for talk about Chendol ah many years ago when I was small ah <tamil>அம்மா வந்து:amma vanthu</tamil> he she brought me to #geylang serai# market <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> old school <tamil>தெரியுமா:teriyumaa</tamil> old school Chendol I eaten that one !wah! brother


happening the taste you can never get anywhere now even Tekka market also they sell Tinder also cannot get cannot get cannot get is a old school lor


so <tamil>அதுல:athula</tamil> Chendol okay lah I'm not <tamil>நா வந்து ஒரு:naa vanthu oru</tamil> Chendol fan <tamil>இல்ல:illa</tamil> but I prefer err, customised ice Kacang lah I want my ice Kacang to have less ice but a lot of colouring a lot of milk and a lot of Kacang


no it it enhanced the flavour lah it will look like rainbow, you know each of the coluoring ah actually the sweetener the sweet sweet thing lah so you must put a lot then only you can feel a thing the best ice Kacang I ever had was still the old Bedok interchange


Bedok interchange you know those days ah you cannot get a taste anywhere brother serve the ice Kacang with the bowl and then with their metal spoon, do you remember ah so you can ah the the the the


coolness ah the metal spoon ah will enhance the flavour


ya ya ya cannot don't oh still have the shop <tamil>இன்னும் இருக்கா:innum irukaa</tamil> oh <tamil>ஆமாவா:aamaavaa</tamil> I thought this fellow all disappeared ah oh


err, err


oh is it


oh I didn't know about it, ah, oh no wonder no wonder you look different now they put more on the green colour like #jin chao# writes the #chin chow# and then err coconut meal and colour lah that's what they call lah


correct correct yes come in the packet, (hmm) correct, correct correct correct correct


ah


you intend to change, to what hybrid bike ah, no I I is there was talking to err Sangkar there is Giant ah Giant got one hybrid the brand correct I think ah cheapest I saw either ah Carousell <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> about five sixty ah


firsthand, then I'm talking about I not talking about any secondhand bikes ah, I'm talking about firsthand all first hand but <tamil>என்ன தெரியுமா:enna teriyumaa</tamil> heavy thirteen KG ah


all lose then ah, ya is very heavy if you want if you want really light ah the starting price like drag until seven hundred hundred, ah correct twenty four lah twenty one twenty four twenty one ah eight times three ah twenty four


ah ah got one thirty gear thirty gear but the bicycle weight is about fourteen KG java something very difficult lah if no if if twelve KG you can still make it like you know


we can change the parts all that to aluminium, aluminium part you can make it to at least ten eight nine my my range of the bike must not must not exceed ah nine KG that's that that's the kind of bike I'm looking on so when I buy nine KG means that means I can make it make it even lighter ah


to maybe eight or seven or maybe like, so ya I'm still looking lah I'm still looking lah maybe I go dear throne lah <tamil>அப்பப்ப பாப்பே:appeppe paapae</tamil> but dear throne <tamil>என்னனா:ennanaa</tamil> it comes fast and the moment bikes come in they just sell fast


you go and change your hybrid rim, tyre all you change you go and change the tyre, then after that


correct ya can can be done second you go and change your


seat at the bar lah


just in there are people who who who who make bike


(mmhmm)


oh you, oh okay Carousell they sell ah, phone holder, okay a universal phone holder with the rain protection


ah flat


but it must be waterproof ah, no it won't drop it will be well put to your seat what, if you think they will drop buy one caribbean small carribean ah and, ah you just plug


click to the the stitches the stitch <tamil>பண்ண:panna</tamil> area <tamil>கு உன்னோட:ku unnoda</tamil> bicycle seat <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> loop <tamil>இருக்குல அங்க:irukkula angga</tamil> just carribean lah extra cost but usually it won't drop they because the whirlpool is strong enough to hold, they got you know the seat ah they got two hook you know


you cannot cannot say two also come out what, and what do you gonna put there you just going to put your IC on your money only what, handphone you gonna put in front what where got put at the back


ah correct phone <tamil>யாரு அங்க வைக்க மாட்டாங்க:yaaru angga vaikka maataangga</tamil> because phone you need to assess what, GPS eveything, ah


ten out of seven people they want to let go because they they they they are sick of that thing, so they will just whack the the the


bicycle whack <tamil>பண்ணிட்டு:pannitu</tamil> they just tolak lah at cheap price lah, ah <tamil>இத்தன நாலு:ithanae naalu</tamil> <tamil>இத்தன வருஷோ கொடுத்தா:ithanae varusho koduthaa</tamil> five years ah


and if you had


ah not worth lah <tamil>நீ வந்து:nee vanthu</tamil> invest <tamil>பண்ண போற:panna pora</tamil> is going to be with you forever just invest one shot lah don't think a lot lah


he's gonna get lah but he never tell you what he is gonna get lah, ah


and they have started, hi hi Shobha, how's how's your morning


what did you do, ,


, , (mmhmm)


, (mmhmm), well


(mmhmm), (mmhmm)


!wow! but how did you apply for this internship,


(mmhmm), (mmhmm) (mmhmm)


(mmhmm)


(mmhmm),


(mmhmm), !wow!, so is that the job scope or, is there more


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


, yes definitely definitely, oh ya I wanted to become HR like after my O levels


so like after O level, like HR in charge of err employment in charge of


basically the overall err company welfare and employment lah, so the company member welfare at that point of time when I was secondary school student that's what I knew <tamil>அது மேல ஒரு:athu mela oru</tamil> interests <tamil>வந்துச்சி:vanthuchi</tamil> so <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> interest and <tamil>நோக்க நான் நான் படிக்க:nokka naan naan padikka</tamil> oh <tamil>படிக்க:padika</tamil> I didn't get the points required for HR course especially in singapore polytechnic


and I wanted to go there, so since HR was out of the way I tookay err engineering course but I didn't know which engineering course, so uh <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> course <tamil>இருந்துச்சி:irunthuchi</tamil> called err common engineering


so <tamil>இந்த:intha</tamil> course <tamil>கு போறவங்க வந்து:ku poravanga vanthu</tamil> basically they did they don't know, which field in engineering to


so <tamil>அங்க போன ஒடனே:ananga pona odanae</tamil> then after only I started slowly developing interest in engineering


I think secondary school <tamil>லேயே நா:laeyae naa</tamil> physics <tamil>மேலயும்:melayum</tamil> mathematics <tamil>மேலயும்:melayum oru</tamil> interest <tamil>இருந்துச்சி:irunthuchi</tamil> but then, err human resource was a job, that I felt will be fun and all


a better job lah in the sense that I would enjoy it


so <tamil>அவங்களோடிய:avangalodiya</tamil> assignments <tamil>கும் எனக்கும் ஓத்தே வராது என்ன:kum yaenakkum othae varaathu enna</tamil> essay reports everything engineering <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> mathematics physics so engineering is more of my style


yes, ya it does


, , (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), if I'm not wrong the score for HR was around, twelve or thirteen points my time O level, to enter polytechnic and the course that I chose was err sixteen points


sixteen seventeen points around there then ya just nice I could go in, yes so


O level <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> is basically the the one most important exam in the whole secondary school, correct eh then after that, the rest of examinations is like just err, to somewhat prepare you for O level but it does not really


matter how much you get there, correct for the first four years they


so I was an average top class person, student ah so <tamil>அங்க வந்து நான் படிச்சிட்டு இருந்தேன்:anga vanthu naan padichitu irunthaen</tamil> then when O levels came, the top student didn't come from the top class, the top student came from the second top class


so <tamil>இவன் வந்து:ivan vanthu</tamil> O level it's a sudden jump, so <tamil>அவனை வந்து:avanai vanthu</tamil> black horse <tamil>னு கூப்புடுவோம்:nu koopuduvom</tamil> so he's a, out of nowhere he he tackled the whole top class the whole okay ya the top class called four A lah, so the the he from a four B class he oh he toppled the whole four A class


so <tamil>அந்த மாரி பல பேரு இருந்தாங்க:antha maari pala peru irunthanga</tamil> so secondary school it's okay to be playful just that


no I mean I was not lah O level time <tamil>படிச்சிட்டு இருந்தேன்:padichitu irunthen</tamil> I was studying day and night everyday especially <tamil>நான்:naan</tamil> history <tamil>எடுத்து இருந்தேன்:eduthu irunthaen</tamil> leh history, so history <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> SCQ SPQ leh <tamil>இருக்கு:iruku</tamil> structured essay questions structured new question structured based question <tamil>வந்து அவ்ளோ அது இல்ல என்னனா அது ஒரு படத்தை பாத்து பாடத்தை பாத்து இல்ல ஒரு:vanthu avlo athu illa yaenanaa athu oru padatha paathu paadatha paathu illa oru</tamil> passage <tamil>பாத்து:paathu</tamil> source leh <tamil>பாத்து ஏத்தபடி:paathu yaethapaadi</tamil> questions answer <tamil>பண்றது அது ஒரு பிரச்னை இல்ல:pandrathu athu oru prechana illa</tamil> there's a structured essay question where


err, so like err <tamil>சில கேள்வி வந்து:sila kaelvi vanthu</tamil> err like the the faces japan


then our structure will say <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> first you have to say production agree disagree conclusion, so <tamil>இதுக்குலாம் ஒரு:ithukulaam oru</tamil> err format <tamil>இருக்கு:iruku</tamil> for every single essay so like, and in the limited essay any essay can come out


so err <tamil>நான் என்ன நானும்:naan enna naanum</tamil> friend <tamil>உம் லாம் என்ன பன்னொன்னா:um laam enna pannonaa</tamil> we memorise each essay one by one, so now memorise <tamil>போனோம்னா:panomna</tamil> write everything word by word, in the exam without seeing that's how much we memorised took a long time


so <tamil>அதுலாம் பண்ணி முடிச்சாச்சு:athulaam panni mudichaachi</tamil> so O level didn't have time to really play around, so <tamil>இதல்லாம் பண்ண ஒடனே:ithalaam panna odanae</tamil> then only after O level then it's back to normal then


ya but you didn't have O levels right


, (mmhmm)


(mmhmm) (mmhmm)


, (mmhmm),


(mmhmm), , (mmhmm)


ya I mean for me it's like opposite lah for me, I can't do english and, and mother tongue in exams so it's like my writing skills are not that great, although towards the end I did some improvement like I went from


my usual grade for english in secondary school was like a C five C six, but then it went from C five C six to O level around B four, so there's some improvement like my skills lie in like mathematics physics chemistry kind of thing


so, ya two weeks before exam also I used to do that during polytechnic, so polytechnic leh <tamil>வந்து ஏன் தெரில:vanthu yaen terila</tamil> as compared to university is totally different


then err teach people how to do


at the tutorial, I forgotten this but they will mark your tutorial paper, so somewhat a bit similar to secondary school so we had to go for tutorial <tamil>ஆனா:aana</tamil> lectures <tamil>கு கண்டிப்பா போகமாட்டோம்:ku kandipaa pogamaatom</tamil> so I was very free during polytechnic the three years


ah so I did three years leh <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> very free then after that exam <tamil>வரும் போது ரெண்டு வாரத்துக்கு முன்னாடி தான் படிச்சி:varum pothu rendu vaarathuku munaadi thaan padichi</tamil> friend <tamil>குலாம்:kulaam</tamil> cut <tamil>குடுத்து:kuduthu</tamil> actually you know that there's this saying that, err <tamil>நீ வந்து உன்:nee vanthu un</tamil> friend <tamil>கு கத்து குடுத்த:ku kathu kudutha</tamil> you we will learn better you will understand better and then so and that and that technique used for <tamil>பண்ணிட்டு:panittu</tamil> polytechnic <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> survive <tamil>பண்ணிட்டேன்:pannitaen</tamil> so


I get really manage to get, good grades despite studying very late, ya but I can't do that in university lah university is totally different ball game, so, exactly so university <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> err


yes <tamil>கண்டிப்பா:kandipaa</tamil> fail, so, it's different lah but polytechnic was a very relaxing time, and then <tamil>அதுனாலே தான்:athanaalae thaan</tamil> <tamil>பெரு வந்து ஒரு மூணு:peru vanthu oru moonu</tamil> CCA <tamil>நாலு:naalu</tamil> CCA <tamil>வெச்சி இருந்தாங்க:vechi irunthanga</tamil> polytechnic lah


err not consecutively but more of like err, first year leh <tamil>வந்து இந்த:vanthu intha</tamil> CCA second year <tamil>வந்து இந்த:vanthu intha</tamil> CCA third year leh <tamil>வந்து இந்த:vanthu intha</tamil> CCA, I even had time to do a stage drama, in polytechnic


so that's how free polytechnic was that's why I didn't want to go JC JC I wouldn't have, managed to achieve, ya I wouldn't have liked it, so ya I had so much fun in polytechnic


, (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), , (mmhmm) (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


, (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), err case study <tamil>என்னமோ பண்ணனும் னு சொன்ன:ennamo pannanum nu sonna</tamil> like debate and all that what's the what's the relevance


, oh,


, (mmhmm),


(mmhmm),


, !wow! but then recently I saw the news in <tamil>இந்த மாரி இந்த:intha maari intha</tamil> project work module <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> is it relevant in JC, context


(mmhmm), I mean err ya similar to you I think it's in contrast polytechnic there's FYP lah, is exactly the same thing that project, then research okay not only research there is some form of research but then we'll for engineering we dive through


software how to use a software how to print prototype, all these so you do the engineering kind of project, and then there will be also question for us lah but we don't have any question bank for that because it's the question is dependent on our project, and it just so happen that my project was a totally new thing


like in polytechnic <tamil>எந்த:entha</tamil> the professor all, for my project so my project I had to do, simulation of air flow in three D printer, so <tamil>நானும் என்:naanum en</tamil> group that time we had a group project lah so <tamil>நானும் என்:naanum en</tamil> group <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> err the the software <tamil>வெச்சி:vechi</tamil> that we simulated air flow inside the


err the three D printer and then we changed some as part of the three D printer to make sure the, air flow is uh it's, convenient it's err


so it's like not supposed to be there the hole it's supposed to be all covered it's supposed to be very flat the surfaces but


so, so we find everything we decide we found that there's one method that makes the air flow more optimum and the the chances of these, defects these err


these kind of defects all to decrease not eradicated but decrease, but then the the judging panel the professors they don't really, had much knowledge on this software they don't really have much knowledge in this area


so <tamil>அதுனாலயே நானும் என்:athunaalayae naanum en</tamil> group <tamil>உம் தப்பிச்சோம் என்ன அவ்ளோவா கஷ்டமான கேள்வியும் கேக்கல ஒரு சுலபமான ஒரு அஞ்சி பத்து கேள்வி கேட்டு:um tapichom enna avlova kastamaana kaevilaam kaekala oru sulabamaana oru anji pathu kaelvi kaetu</tamil> then they say you're good to go


ya so that's that's for FYP but my FYP wasn't a year long unlike university university is a year long FYP is a project, final year project right so polytechnic leh <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> is just one semester


ah yours is one year mine is just one semester <tamil>அதுக்கு அப்புறம்:athuku appuram</tamil> you have to go go through your normal modules so I my final semester I didn't do FYP my final semester I did, modules normal engineering modules, ya so


ya <tamil>அத அத பண்ணேன்:atha atha pannaen</tamil> there's my FYP which is in contrast with JC, so JC also have history and all right


same lah for me secondary three secondary four I've to choose my module and then , ya secondary three secondary four I've to choose module right so err <tamil>நான் என்ன பண்ணேனா:naan enna pannenaa</tamil> instead of geography I chose history


so I I had a choice lah to take either history or geography I took history


(mmhmm), ,


(mmhmm), (mmhmm),


Qing dynasty, Qing isn't it the Qing dynasty, I think so,


(mmhmm)


(mmhmm), , !wow!, but I think mine is that my O level history was more of like


japan invading, but I think they got test on Qing dynasty lah but


I also did gulf war correct, ya lor I can't remember


(mmhmm), (mmhmm)


, (mmhmm)


, (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


is it, , (mmhmm)


but to me, the the the structure of the land, so why is there a hill here why is there no hill here how did a hill form


isn't that geography, err


and how and, and how to read maps, oh, oh,


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), ya that's why, I mean ya I didn't take geography because err I didn't really like what I studied in secondary two the lower secondary, so <tamil>அதுனாலயே நான்:athunaalayae naan</tamil> history at that time ah history seems more seems to be more interesting


but I believe history is the more challenging one because of the SCQ and all and SPQ but I don't know about the geography paper lah I forgot how it it was how was the geography paper like


, so it's around the same is it, !wow!


(mmhmm), (mmhmm),


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), (mmhmm) !wow!


, (mmhmm) (mmhmm)


, (mmhmm), I mean ya it's true, ya when I came to engineering during polytechnic also same thing I mean okay for


from my secondary school what I, what I inferred is that, JC is more of the premium of going about it like, JC is the standard the goal like every parents want their kids to go JC


and not polytechnic, so but I know a lot of parents like they want their kids to go JC like, they had these err in okay they're not confirm ranking how to say it's like a


number <tamil>குள்ளேயே ஒரு:kullayae oru</tamil> ranking <tamil>நம்ம:namma</tamil> school <tamil>குள்ளேயே ஒரு:kullayae oru</tamil> ranking right JC is first, polytechnic second ITE third, so like err


my entire class wanted to go JC, so it was not because it was a safety net it was because err, it's a standard lah apparently in my secondary school and polytechnic was more of a


so there's actually there's two ways to go about it like safety net and also


standard kind of thing, you know and,


(mmhmm)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm)


, don't they have POA


I mean I learnt POA in secondary school not polytechnic or JC, oh that's interesting bebecause POA is a O level subject, principle of accounts


ya I mean principle of accounts is a O level subject and it's because of that I'm able to do, err I recently I took a elective on accounting and did very well in it, so one of the reason why is because I did accounting in, secondary school so I have prior knowledge before entering this course


but I'm surprised why you didn't, POA, why


, I see, , no lah I mean, yes


ya I know there's a O level for like drama and music right, there is but then my school didn't focus on it, and I I believe I believe there's POA for, for A level just that your school didn't focus on it, if you go and see


, ya I mean that's true, ya I mean ya one of the reasons why I wanted to go HR is because of POA also secondary, POA is more related to business


ya and HR is also kind if related to business but more towards human resource, so, that's one of the reason why I wanted to go HR lah but, ya I mean POA is a fun subject I managed to get good grades in it also secondary it's quite if you understand it it's quite easy already and it's quite fun


balancing the accounts and all that, ya but, (mmhmm),


, but at least it's actually quite good I know a lot of people in like my engineering school, who are fighting for internship currently they are all struggling even after using the NTU err the the schools in place, you know after using that everybody is still


err struggling to find internship, I know quite a few people that haven't got internship yet but is like closing soon already, so it's like once it's close they can't take internship for that semester, that's all because of COVID nineteen lah so


ya you are actually quite lucky, (mmhmm)


I mean convocation didn't happen this year, ya lah physical convocation didn't happen this year also, this year this year, it didn't happen it did not happen


ya that's what I said, no it didn't happen, ya instead, you know instead what happened is they just err showcase all the names


like you know the credit all, ya and then I saw people like on Instagram just err taking snapshots of their name, on like the credit roll and then posting on Instagram then


I think, no I think they had the Instagram filter, the the NTU graduate Instagram filter, ya and then they posted it there lah so it's their form of convocation


(mmhmm), I mean they do they still do, just that you can't gather at a convocation


(mmhmm), , (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), !wow!, I mean I mean, (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm),


ya, I mean err ya phase two is there's rumors that phase three is coming even the government say, have a look out for phase three, so they might increase the five people rule to, seven maybe ten oh it's ten


ya I've I've no idea also but, err,


(mmhmm)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), ya that's true


(mmhmm) (mmhmm), but I don't think they're having it this year are they


that's true, I mean they can't really have crowd also what at every place, so ya that's very sad, but ya there is still light up can still go and see, in groups of five


go buy lah, they will sell it well, oh let's


ya secondary it's halloween period, buy lah, I mean you can make an exception like


like maybe run three days in a row before drinking it, (mmhmm) (mmhmm), (mmhmm) I already tried it


chocolate and strawberry, why I never heard of it, (mmhmm), !wow! what a name


(mmhmm), oh ya in a diet, so ya, I mean get lah like for me what I feel like, if I want to try this kind of err new drinks new like from Starbucks and all


you must do a, must do a standard list of exercises, so like for me I feel that I need to run at around three two point four, before trying out this drink


ya, ya,


(mmhmm), , , what how do you


do you even like jogging, so what is your favourite exercise, why swimming


, , (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


, (mmhmm) (mmhmm)


, ya, I mean ya for me, for me I tookay swimming lessons when I was in primary school, managed to attain a gold in it


did you meant did you have any gold, did you, ah ya as in you did did you get it, ya gold lah I'm also a gold


ya <tamil>அதுக்கு அப்புறம் வந்து:athuku appuram vanthu</tamil> because of the swimming certificate I manage to take kayaking in secondary school, so kayaking was part of my uniform group CCA lah you know uniform group CCA <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> is err boys brigade so <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> boys brigade leh <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> err


the objective is to earn as much badges as possible, at the end of four years and


for like forty KM like that so it's from day till night it was damn fun, then it was like there's kayaking there's swimming swimming I automatically got my third stage secondary I already got gold, so I just had to, for certificate I got the badge I think the most fun was kayaking it's a new skill


like kayaking badge so <tamil>அங்க வந்து:anga vanthu</tamil> star one <tamil>கெடைக்கிறதுக்கு:kedaikirathuku</tamil> opportunity secondary err, they've basically train you from start lah how to capsize the boat how to, how do you kayak and all


so it was really fun for my CCA, so ya, ,


, , well


I mean I got do dragon boating also, dragon boat <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> wait you know what is dragon boat right


that was fun also lah but <tamil>அதுக்கு:athuku</tamil> like it's more of a recreational activity, ya, and then it was fun nowadays I don't really have the opportunity to go do like this kind of stuff like on my own


the CCAs I went to does not have this kind of, err <tamil>புது புது:puthu puthu</tamil> adventure things to explore, so it's more catered to CCAs like, for example if I join a community service club


if I join a indian culture society club it's more catered towards stage drama, and I mean got other events lah but the main part is stage drama then


so <tamil>அதுனால:athunaala</tamil> I feel that the secondary school period was a time where I really explored every different areas, in my CCA, so I felt like I made the right choice joining <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> CCA join <tamil>பண்றதுக்கு:pandrathuku</tamil> is the right choice I feel


what CCA were you in in secondary school, (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), okay I know, ya


(mmhmm), , (mmhmm)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm)


(mmhmm) (mmhmm)


(mmhmm) (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


, (mmhmm), ya I mean ya that's true, I didn't I didn't really play any instruments


in my time other than recorder and, occasionally I learned how to play guitar like I think one song, just one song in secondary school because I was really bored and my friend I went to our friend house occasionally, he had a guitar then I just learn how to play like one song


but other than that I'm not really trained in any musical instrument, ya so that's


(mmhmm)


!wow!, I mean I don't really know half the songs you just mentioned so, so ya, okay lion king I know, that was great


(mmhmm) and then


hello


it was great, actually it you know how I wanted to wake up early, that didn't happen, because I was very tired, because I slept


at maybe twelve forty five, ya <tamil>எப்பிடியும் தூங்குறதுக்கு ஒரு மணி ஆயிடுது:epidiyum thoongurathuku oru mani aayiduthu</tamil> then I was like okay never mind don't want, err I woke up and then I decided not to, then I continued sleeping


and then I woke up at eight O'clock-ish, I got err call, basically saying that my internship has been approved


then they were very nice lah they were like it's okay lah never mind you might as well <tamil>முப்பதான் தேதியே வா பரவால்ல:muppathaan thaethiyae vaa paravaala</tamil> so it'll be from thirtieth november all the way to, twenty third january


the school okay so the school will send out random like, emails right and they will say err we have these internships available so <tamil>இதுக்கு முன்னாடி வந்து நானே வந்து தேடிட்டு இருந்தேன்:ithuku munaadi vanthu naanae vanthu thaeditu irunthaen</tamil> like we call it self-sourced so when I was trying to self-source like it wasn't working out lah then especially because like when the schools sends you they send you specifically for that


period so they will send you like oh winter internship <tamil>நா இத்தனை நாளுக்கு இந்த:naa ithana naalukku intha</tamil> internship <tamil>இருக்குனு:irukunu</tamil> they expect you to do like three months four months like that but I don't want it to interfere with my school right so I choose one of those that the school itself sent me an email about


and then, I went for the interview, the interview was great


then I, because that company itself they got many areas that they work on but then in the email they didn't specify which area right so I just thought like oh it's going to be a broad overarching


err but okay lah they were nice enough I think the fact that like, they need people to do like employee engagement videos and stuff like that because of COVID right and I was telling them that I'm currently working on employee engagement videos for my school like the project and stuff so


and I say I can do basic editing so they were like okay, ya, err employee engagement videos is one of my job scope lah


there are other things also see HR is the one where they will come and dump all the work on to you, they will be like even that day <tamil>நான்:naan</tamil> interview <tamil>கு போய் இருந்தேன்:ku poi irunthaen</tamil> leh then the the lady this is for a different company lah then the lady like suddenly someone came into the office like sorry ah I need to interrupt then the woman was like I'm conducting an interview then she was like I know I know very quick very quick err the people from the safety like safe distancing measures those people are here then they want to talk to someone but then the guy is not here so can you go talk


the woman was just like sorry that's not part of my job you want you ask him to go talk to his manager like that guy's manager like I'm not the one who's in charge of this, so just because she was HR they like come and ask her to talk and stuff lah


so, didn't you want to do HR


(mmhmm), , ya, , right


, actually I never would have guessed that, HR requires more points than engineering, ya I wouldn't have guessed because within business school itself right


many a times it's like the unspoken thing but many people assume HR to be the dumb kids, because the smart ones are like err banking and finance


err business analytics risk assessment because those fields <tamil>லாம் வந்து:laam vanthu</tamil> it's a lot of numbers very number based, but HR <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> we do a lot of things but, we don't really get the recognition for it and it's very we have a lot of room for common sense


a lot of our things are


but then , ya so because of that I would have thought that engineering perhaps would require more higher scores


, , right you were very playful in secondary school is it


ya, , (mmhmm)


, (mmhmm), ,


(mmhmm), , , (mmhmm)


, nice, but were you playful during O level time


okay, ,


, , okay


no because mine was the six year program so our exams were still quite chill, err, okay lah yes school leh <tamil>வந்து என்னனா:vanthu ennanaa</tamil> if you go from secondary school lah you will have that slacker mindset


because you don't have O levels to prepare for right, that sort of thing so it's not that we won't study we will but we study very last minute, so exam <tamil>கு ரெண்டு வாரத்துக்கு முன்னாடி தான் உக்காந்து படிப்போம்:ku rendu vaarathu munaadi thaan ukanthu padipom</tamil> before that all we'll be doing assignments and stuff like that we still have work to do


it's just that we, ya we don't actually start revising until it was much closer to the exam itself, and then so I guess my equivalent for of like stress of like when I actually worked really really hard was err


A levels lah, A levels was like, for almost six months, I every single no not six months school let us off I think maybe august or something so since august all the way to err all the way to october which is when my papers were


those months I every single day would just go, get out of the house, by nine AM latest and I will go study and I'll study study study all the way until eight PM


and I wouldn't stop studying and, I mean I didn't do as well as I wanted to lah which well !oops! but I guess that just showed me like I shouldn't be doing science anymore, it's not that I was bad at it it's just I'm very very bad at exams


I am very good at applying knowledge and doing assignments, I can do those very well but I can't do exams


right


oh, right


ah attendance


okay,


ya you need you need to be very consistent, ya


ya,


you wouldn't have liked that, ya, especially, ya especially because JC leh <tamil>வந்து நீ வந்து இருந்த னா:vanthu nee vanthu iruntha naa</tamil> besides your, your engineering side right, you would also have to do project work


we would have to do err GP general paper, and you would have to do one contrast subject, which all three are not things you would want to do because project work is okay lah project work is fine you get to sort of choose what you want to do


our year was a bit of a complicated question, because they wanted us to use a company as a case study, to come up with a solution for another problem, so like for example what we did was we look at a music company right and then from that music company we learnt certain lessons about how they induce err customers to


buy a premium, service, and then we decided to apply those learnings to, err plastic bag usage, how we can induce users to use the premium which is


err recyclable bags, and so that was our PW we were one of the very few groups in my class to get an A, because I don't know why that year my tutor's classes were fine my tutor's classes got As but the other tutors' classes were all like Bs and Cs and stuff


so we were like oh okay, and then after that I mean GP was my favourite I was so bad at GP like I was terrible at GP err not because I can't write but I didn't know how to structure my essay in a way that actually answers the question


until I got a new GP teacher and then she taught us how to answer questions and how to you know make it err as concise as possible but also have an elevated stand because every essay is a debate


you are basically given a debate question and you need to say what you what you feel, so we wrote, err quite a number of things lah then, the last one I mean I'm guessing that if you were if you had been in JC and you needed to take a contrast subject you would probably would have taken econs


because I took tamil literature, tamil literature, that seems to be my strong suit till now


so ya
