ya so I went to err #new delhi# so it was my very first time and then I think I was there for about seven seven days six nights if I'm not wrong ya and I went on december time so it's like super cold


ya it was like the actually the best timing to go then we literally every single day we went to go and see new things and since you are talking about museum right, uh there was one day lah we allocated like about half a day just for museum initially was nice initially was nice like you know when you walk through you see the museum all one by one I was literally seeing every piece of artwork you know after hit about forty five minutes ah and then you are just like why am I seeing the same thing again oh my god


ya then !wah! after that I got damn boring already but you know just to go to the museum itself because you know Delhi it's like a super huge country everything must err go by car you can't just take the bus or anything like that, ya so like the travelling to there really was taking forever and then to come back another take another forever !walao!


ah so <tamil>ஆகரா ஏனா ஆகரா வந்து:agra yenaa agra vanthu</tamil> considered <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> like <tamil>ரொம்ப இந்தியாலேர்ந்து ரொம்ப உள்ளே:rombe indialernthu rombe ulleh</tamil> Delhi side is like considered part of like old Delhi but it's err all the way inside so that time when we we had to take a car lah and then he was driving in for at least like three four hours I think about four to five hours you have to cross like certain


err I don't know like the the security, ya ya ya it was a totally like one it was like a road trip you know then ya we had to cross by so many security then they are like stop lines for us to like get down and all that so we took half a day to reach there then #taj mahal# I went the thing is I I expected too much for it but in the end I went there I was like okay I was excited for like maybe like one hour then after that it was like it got kind of bored lah you wouldn't you you can't really stay there for too long honestly


oh is it like those like what do you call it ah sweater kind ah, oh the sweater the best, oh my god, !aiyo! so cute


#agra fort#, like you know you know you know you got watch err #jodhaa akbar# then they shot the film at all the fort area the royal forts and stuff I I went there also, it's better than #taj mahal#, honestly it was better #taj mahal# like because I I watched the movie lah before I went and everything so I could like like I kind of I can feel lah like once you are there actually can feel like like something different than the #taj mahal# #taj mahal# one was like very normal


correct correct correct and they wouldn't let you take any pictures inside also pictures or videos inside you only can take like outer surface so technically what we're doing is just taking the outer surface like you can't do anything inside ya


oh okay that's nice


I mean the things they use is still a bit like traditional kinds lah like very ya ya correct understand


oh actually it's not so bad it's actually nice like it I mean I don't think I can do it for like forever but if you ask me to be there for some like few few days ah ya like to just experience say like I wouldn't mind lah it's quite actually


I actually want to go back to the north side if I can lah because so far north side Delhi only I went for south side I already went to like Chennai Ooty Coimbatore, oh ya Kerala haven't go yet have to go there also


you all went to the, you guys went to the water boat house right, how was it


oh okay


, so do you did you all manage to catch, oh my god


oh okay eh !wah! not bad ah


eh but actually nice lah this kind of thing is like you know on the spot you can just take whatever you want and then just ask them to do it for you, is it that bad, you scared right


oh my god eh but okay lah one thing their food is damn tasty you you no matter what wherever you go it's hard to get that kind of food, ya ya but now of course you definitely must be much more careful already like small thing also ah cannot lah


oh you have to put before you go, oh okay


then you still can eat


oh my god eh actually even if I was in your position I will be like no way no I rather starve, what what how big like that


oh my god that's okay, ya then


oh my god eh you luckily escape sia, oh my god is


ya because, ya ya ya we so we bought like litre litre of water so <tamil>என்ன பன்னோனா வந்து அங்க பொனோனே வந்து பல்லு விலக்குணும்ல:enna panona vanthu ange pononeh vanthu pallu vilekenumle</tamil> so <tamil>அவங்க தண்ணிய நம்மனால வந்து பயன்படுத்த முடில:avange thanniye nammenaale payenpaduthe mudiyele</tamil> so <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> bottle, ah <tamil>அதேதான்:atheytaan</tamil> actually <tamil>ஏன் மஞ்சளா இருக்கு கூட தெரியல:yen manjala irukku koode therileh</tamil> so <tamil>என்ன பன்னோனா:enna pannonaa</tamil> bottle bottle ah <tamil>தண்ணி வாங்கிகிட்டு:thanni vaangittu</tamil> then uh <tamil>முடியிற வரைக்கும்:mudiyire varaikkum</tamil> we just use lah even sometime even to wash hair ya I I did it for washing hair washing face and washing mouth


!wah! I tell you, no you know you know why or not because sometimes when you use their hair water right you realise that your hair will become like err, ah easily very dry ya for me it was like that because initially the first few days I think first two days I did bathe in uh normal uh normal water is just for face I use the mineral one lah I started noticing that it got super dry and then the texture was so bad ya


rashes oh my why ah


okay


!aiyo! eh that's why I don't really like the oil massage all sometime overseas ya I I've never been to the ayurvedic one like <tamil>நான் போனது வந்து:naan ponethu vanthu</tamil> like thailand <tamil>லே வந்து நம்ம போமோதுகூட வந்து:le vanthu namme pomothukoode vanthu</tamil> is like normal full body massage <tamil>தான் ஆனா அவங்க வந்து:thaan aana avange vanthu</tamil> it's like you are wrapped lah you wrapped around but they don't use any kind of oil


ya so it's just a normal full body massage, I I felt that was better, oh my god that's so gross


it's like you need to go for those car wash kind of deep cleaning, like ask them to put you in the laundry thing and then full deep cleaning


oh


oh okay I think it's like some kind of sauna right like to to I think it's like to open up your pores or something like that in your body, that's so scary oh my god what if it's like those final destination ah like something happen ah oh my goodness


oh oh my god eh I wouldn't go sia this kind of thing I damn scared and I always like tend to overthink like shit what happens if like the machine like short circuit or what


oh okay okay


!wah! that's very good but I think anyway for that cold water thing you were saying right because you say you before that you went for the sauna so it should be like you know they're opening up your pores then usually they put ask you to go for the cold showers and everything close up and tightens up your body


ya I mean uh Bo Pian lah this kind of thing what to do


uh that helps a lot actually that helps a lot, ya ya I had that in Delhi also because it was so cool oh my god then the uh what happened was I the one I stay in the Delhi right it was actually one of my auntie's accommodation lah because she's at the embassy and all that so they gave her own accommodation so her I think her house the the the hot the temperature thing


I think it's spoilt or something like that so you have to use like a uh machine in the morning like oh six am I wake up the the whole tile is like so cold and then I'll go to the shower know I'll be the first one to shower and somehow I don't know why I'm so unlucky everytime the first one to shower come out cold water


and then is like you know you know you no clothes and everything so the shower hits you like oh shit I was freezing like hell, ya ya I think it's the generator ya ya ya correct, then it was like I did I didn't know it will take time lah for the to to steam up everything <tamil>இது தெரியாம நான் போய் நின்னே அவ்ளோதான் என்ன அடிச்சுச்சு டா மூஞ்சுலே:ithu theriyame naan poi nineh avelovuthaan enna adichuchu da moonjuleh</tamil> then I for like shit I just wrap up in like towel I was like I'm not going to bathe but eventually I bathe lah after like the hot steam was started coming out okay was so bad so I Kena at least three mornings like that


ya correct then you didn't know, oh let me guess you were trying to wash your feet and then the water hit you


ya ya sometimes I'm very forgetful and that happens also to me at times, oh my god that's so bad your house one it's not like that right


ya actually mine also ours was is considered old also but then because we change all the pipes everything, err quite a few years back lah then they automatically give the the one with the big shower head and everything


correct correct correct, ya ya


oh okay okay not so bad lah, oh that's weird


okay okay then that makes sense, oh okay


ya I remember that, ya actually at night especially


oh my god, eh !wah! okay I I don't even want to imagine this is so bad


that's why that's why I think I think they didn't think of it also lah but a lot of houses now like that you know, correct lor that's why must be extra careful, when when you are looking for your new house also please be careful


oh okay then


better to be safe than sorry, ya true lah, ya actually no lah I also don't really like this kind of thing I'm going to find really a proper safe environment ya


really oh okay I didn't know about that, oh okay okay


that's true ah not bad


imagine


ya ya ya she's she's one of them lah, uh Vani, ya but now she's finding it hard to come back lah but good thing she didn't give up your citizenship so it's good, the husband is there lah so same lor they all there


she singapore citizen but he gave up the citizenship because his work all was like permanently there and all so ya, ya that's that's the thing so


ya but okay lah I think they are managing well they are well to do ya


ya especially the second one you haven't seen the second one talk it so must see next, now !wah! now that you say I'm actually lost many years already


ya ya ya now I think she she quite okay I think she should be able to speak a bit now already, no she's older than Rashmi, ya ya she's older than Rashmi she was born first then only Rashmi I think


ya uh ya she's on half day lah but she says that in any case she have to go back home first to shower everything because after work so she will confirm lah depending what time we wanna go you know

younger brother ah, actually both disturb each another lah, both disturb each another but then err Abimanyu okay lah like he Sayang the brother then after that he will like like kiss the brother then touch the brother leg all and sometimes he will go around the brother and he will poke the brother


then what he did that day I think I stayed over he want to err hold the brother up right then after that he put his hand around the brother then I got shocked already, I was thinking don't strangle your brother don't strangle your brother then the then the younger brother down there calmly just like sitting down never react


ya confirm I think my sister uh say he he likes me a lot Aravind, ya aunty I think he he like really recognise me that time when uh let's say like my other cousins they come over right then he will give them the face

ya like go watch the AR Rahman concert go watch the Anirudh concert or then wasting the time ah you come and watch the concert over here imagine that time the Balasubramaniam


like like <tamil>வந்து தெலுங்குப்பாட்டு அப்புறம் என்னது அந்த அந்த யாரோ கத்திட்டு இருந்தாங்கல: vanthu telungupaattu apurom ennathu antha anthe yaaro kathittu irunthaangeleh</tamil> I want Telungu <tamil>பாட்டு:paatu</tamil> Telungu <tamil>பாட்டு அப்புறம் வந்து:paatu apurom vanthu</tamil> Hindi Hindi


err <tamil>நீ:nee</tamil> then err Kavita err Rubini Meera myself oh <tamil>என் அக்கா வந்தா:en akka vantha</tamil> lah


oh


ah


ah I think Meera came to fetch me up, ah Meera came to fetch me up then err because <tamil>ஏன் தெரியுமா நான் அங்க போகும்போது:yen theriyuma naan ange pogumpothu</tamil> I think about ten minutes uh loss already of the because you know the the escalator to go to the suntec the the convention hall is a bit err concert hall is a bit confusing because you will take the correct escalator the correct side


ya, ya it's easier if you take it from outside the escalator the entrance you you walk from the MRT station way right it's very confusing because their escalators are at the end, ah think how many times I went there missing it already


lost ah, then, ah, eventually correct correct that time that time I first time I went there I think almost got lost but then I and my mother right we want to go pay the you know Chan Brothers the travel


ah so we remember that time we go to europe then we book the the package with them right then they they had this like mini meeting ah to to tell them like what to expect out of the trip so it was literally a one hour then those who put who are going on the trip will have a briefing


ya then ya then they invited you lah so we went with mother then we we finish the payment thing all then they use the actual the suntec convention hall for their for their like briefing and payment and everything then first time I see ah that


like literally people do like this you know because usually where you do go travel agency they confirm every details with you then maybe that few days before then they send you the itinerary all these right, ya then only so far I see Chan Brothers do all this you know


that was the first time but then it was okay lah like like very interesting because we are going during winter time right then the packing of the clothes all different then after that err like what ah ah like what to expect all the temperature and everything I think when we go during the christmas time right winter still haven't come yet so wasted


oh that one because that one literally went to the mountain it was so, ah that was switzerland that was uh what is that place called ah start with L


Lucerne ah I think is it how you pronounce Lucerne can't remember ya can't remember mount Lucerne ah, if I find that name I tell you err the ya the mountain name then err I think we went to five countries you know first one we we ah first one we get down we get down at germany then after that ah we get down at germany the airport then we went to go we haven't even check in the hotel you know we took the bus go all the way to some waterfall I think rhine waterfall


ya first day, ya shoot like is only like what two hours since we boarded the bus then we we we go and see the waterfall what rhine waterfall actually the waterfall quite nice then after we see the waterfall already then after that they cross the border they went to I think france


oh was it still in germany because the the funny thing is I went to france we went to germany we went to switzerland we went to netherlands and we went to belgium so the all these five countries right the thing is their borders right is overlapping each another sometimes like like when you want to to


travel to see the country right like from one end to the other end and let's say you are taking a bus right you might have to cross into each another's territory to visit the the places so so so sometimes we are in germany then after that we go to france then we go see other places other places then after that we crossover again


ya like because suddenly we end up another part of germany they we go back to france again, ya whole trip, I think it was a eight days and ten nights so we spend like literally like one and a half days just for travelling eh I think two days two days for travelling


err okay lah but then I think ya it's true that sometimes you take like packages via err like agencies right like is is how to say it's very like rushed rushed work but the thing is


for you ya but then halfway through right if I'm not wrong right you literally have to uh <tamil>என்ன சொல்வாங்க:enna solvaangeh</tamil> uh pay extra for some of the itinerary stuff


ya ah like no no like like for example ah <tamil>நான் வந்து அந்த:naan vanthu antha</tamil> the package <tamil>எடுத்தேன் அந்த:yedutthen:antha</tamil> package leh <tamil>வந்து இந்த இந்த இந்த:vanthu intha intha intha</tamil> itinerary <tamil>இருக்கு ஆனா பாதி வழியிலே வந்து இந்த:irukku aana paathi vazhiyilleh vanthu intha</tamil> mountain <tamil>பாக்கும்போது:paakumpothu</tamil> at for example or err let's say you want to err try out a activity I think that time <tamil>அந்த என்னது அந்த:antha ennathu antha</tamil> mountain <tamil>பாக்குறதா அது வந்து :paakurethaa athu vanthu</tamil> optional item


ya, ya imagine you know like let's say like like each of us <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> two hundred dollars <tamil>அஞ்சு பேர் போறோம் அதே ஒரு:anju per porom athey oru</tamil> thousand


close to each person <tamil>வந்து ஒரு:vanthu oru</tamil> two thousand plus eh <tamil>அதுக்கு மேலேயே வந்துச்சு:athukku meleyeh vanthuchu</tamil> two thousand three or two thousand four then <tamil>நம்ம:namma</tamil> extra extra extra <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> the things lah <tamil>போமோது:pomothu</tamil> each of us <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> three thousand <tamil>வந்துச்சு:vanthuchu</tamil> so <tamil>அஞ்சு பேர் போனொலே:anju per ponole</tamil> so


eh math <tamil>கணக்கா வரலேயே ஒரு:kanakkaa varaleyeh oru</tamil> fifteen thousand ah eh no no each of us <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> three thousand <tamil>இருந்துச்சு:irunthuchu</tamil> then then my mother say apart from what we paid for the extra things it costed another three thousand, so I think


ya should be okay so the only thing is if err <tamil>நம்ம அங்க போனோனா:namme ange ponona</tamil> each of us maybe <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> three thousand, ah <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> three thousand <tamil>ஆனா இது வந்து:aana ithu vanthu</tamil> not including all the <tamil>ஜாமா:jaama</tamil> you want to buy


five hundred to seven hundred dollars <tamil>தான் நான் மாத்துனே:thaan naan maathune</tamil> cash, I think five hundred ah five hundred err five hundred ya <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> five hundred to seven hundred dollars uh cash <tamil>மாத்துனே அது வந்து:maathune athu vanthu</tamil> euros


no no <tamil>அது சிங்கப்பூர் காசு:athu singapore kaasu</tamil> ah so <tamil>அவங்க காசு வந்து ஒரு:avange kaasu vanthu oru</tamil> three hundred to four hundred <tamil>வந்துச்சு:vanthuchu</tamil> then sometimes uh we use there we use there is mostly euros <tamil>ஆனா:aanaa</tamil> switzerland <tamil>க்கு வந்து:kku vanthu</tamil> they use their swiss francs ah if I'm not wrong that's what it's called


their value right the swiss franc value is stronger than the euro value so when you convert the singapore currency right you swiss right you'll get lesser than euro, ya but we


ya, it's not overly expensive but then the thing is we use the package because we didn't know how the like what kind of language they speak like example ah you go to france right not everybody will speak english you know


ya their french language then they will look at you like one kind so unless you go visit the tourists tourists places right then only they speak to you in english then germany was the most friendly, ya germany was friendly the the french and the swiss people were more considered more rude, ah


to touch there, you want to go right ya I also I want to go back to but I want to go back to like other like other countries never get to visit lah like maybe err italy err then portugal


, because you know how to say is like nice lah you go visit all the tourist tourist place went to go see went to go and see the what Eiffel tower then err in france then after that err what else ah Eiffel tower then some uh what they call it ah river ah in holland some famous like


ah those famous landmarks but we never visited all the famous landmarks oh but we went to the Loof, ya, , no but the thing ah when the the Louvre right the Louvre also we pay extra lah that one also costs about two hundred plus that one singapore dollars two hundred plus singapore dollars


see but but, ya but the thing is the Louvre right is we didn't spend so much of time over there I think only probably about six hours but then he say right that the amount of like artefacts down there right you need at least you he didn't say he say will take a few years ah to fully see


like we when we went to go see there right we only saw a small portion of the items like we literally like like when you go inside one small uh exhibition area right because there's so many exhibition areas ah before you move on to the next one right in the small exhibition already there is probably about like fifty to eighty over pieces or work


ya so you imagine if you are literally standing in front of one one painting right you stand there for like fifteen seconds ah it will take you a few years right to fully see everything in the museum


ah so when we go through right you know what we did not I just glance around only I glance around like, ya, no I never do that I was standing right in the middle of the row then the pathways in the middle of the room lah so your imagine you your is like your two classroom size one exhibition area


ah then you are standing in the middle of the row so I will just like walk past from the back to the front of the room then I will just look for my side so I never literally went to go stand infront of a painting unless it was something that captured my eye which rarely did lah because all the paintings look similar to another painting


oh I did that, two hours later I was so bored I couldn't stand another painting but I need to pretend to be interested in right then I just turn around ah okay then I sit down for a while then the rest of them were in the group all looking because they paid for this audio thing is part of the package then you listen to these recorder then err it will sense I think your your place in your exhibition area then it will talk lah


ah the audio guide then after that it was quite boring also lah then we like uh okay then talk for awhile but imagine you know you are seeing like three hours full of paintings you can get very bored


, , oh is is it the india one


ah, cold,


see again


oh ya ya ya, you got go or not #taj mahal#


ah


, the expressway lah


I think <tamil>என்னது ஒரு ரெண்டு வாரமா:ennathu oru rendu vaarama</tamil> ya <tamil>ரெண்டு வாரம்:rendu vaaram</tamil> then they but then err they didn't spend so much of time in in Delhi lah they only came in back time I think or going back time only they went to #taj mahal# then my mother say <tamil>என்னது:ennathu</tamil> err ah going back time like uh Shimla


, ah Shimla then err mostly all the whole north india side lah like some temple visiting or what I'm not so sure mostly they went to go see all the temples lah then after that they finish seeing the temples all already then they coming back time right then they went to see the #taj mahal# do shopping all then they very cute you know they buy this small <tamil>சட்டை:sattai</tamil> ah for Abimanyu and Aravind ah like the winter <tamil>சட்டை மாதிரி:sattai maathiri</tamil> you know the <tamil>ஊரு:ooru</tamil> style


so funny


I not so sure, ah, oh ya ya ya ya they went they went


oh ya actually true lah, ah because you know why or not because I think like #taj mahal# a bit overrated because got so much of security protocol then you do the then a lot of the access area you cannot go inside


see then is ya, ah side


ya my mum was tellling me their,


ah really ah, is it the one the the door is very small then like you must squeeze in a bit then the the the height of the door is very small, ah

err is like between tamil#nadu# and Kerala right there's a lot of hill stations so all these hill stations right they are you go from the bottom to the top right if you from very warm weather you go to a very cold weather

I know right, somemore <tamil>அத அந்த உள்ள போனாலும் பரவாயில்லை அது:athe antha ulleh ponaalum paravaaillai athu</tamil> room <tamil>விட்டு வெளிய போயிருச்சு:vittu veliya poyiruchu</tamil> I like !alamak! I want to come out nobody can call, ya then they had a

ah we at the second floor only it's is it's a it's a small it's a very small hotel the thing in the hotel is a small hotel but it's a they have a rating at three and a half star but they are but if you give them you can give them four star rating, it's super clean it's super clean and then it's it's like five star rating five star standard and they give you one to one service


ya, ya, ya, pore but I cannot take it ah


I think <tamil>நான் என்ன தெரிமா செஞ்சேன்:naan enna therimaa senjen</tamil> I I stand under the hot under the cold water right I breathe in then like that


my teeth was shivering, uh,


cold


water, is it generator, generator


to heat up the water, water come out ah


that time I almost hit uh you know nowadays they make the shower the HDB the you know the shower hook the shower on top and then it has another shower below the hand held one and the and the one that is just on top then after that


ya because that's the new one they do the renovation right they do for you right, I didn't know then after that you know sometime must press the machine the button down then only the water will change between both, no I didn't know my sisters one


ya water hit me wash my leg you know, some more I visit her then I wearing all my my outside clothes then I like shit the water just hit me in my face, then I scream


no because mine is like mine is the old houses what HDB so mine is the hand held one you can put at the standby but it doesn't have the fix feature on top


ah, shower head ya because my one err they doing the upgrading right confirm another couple of years they will send one to do all the old pipe ya because now all the pipes all exposed what they want to do the piping confirm again will have will have few years time because now now my my block is all waiting for lift upgrade


ah lift upgrade because my house lift upgrade a bit difficult because the two there's only lift and and the problem is one of the lift is smaller that the other one, ya because uh one is wheelchair accessible the other one is not


ya but I didn't realise because both the lift for me looks the same until I realise that one of the lift is actually deeper, ya I didn't know, oh ya you got see not my sister's house the okay my sister house the lift lobby right then you know you remember the walking path then the both side got no no no wall


ya you know how scary is it not, no imagine you are carrying a child and then the child wiggles out of your arm what if that thing drop, ya


they really got no common sense ah when they want to build then thing you know like mean want to make a walkway uh a corridor make at least one say with the wall lah, make something so ya very


no but it's so dangerous you know you know I very scared because nowadays kids are very active then they just prance from their hands then how, ya I I, ya that's why you know what the thing you know so when I carry the the my my okay Aravind I don't have to worry lah because Aravind inside a carrier then Abimanyu right you know what I will do or not Abimanyu going right I will I will hold his hand on the floor he is on the floor


ya, ya but the one thing I scared if let's say we are going back to the house then you're carrying him because he sleeping, ya so you know how or not I won't I won't carry things in my hand know when I carry these two my phone is inside my pocket then both my my arms is around them like so tight you know


ya my life is on it when I cross over there, ya don't like don't like really don't like I won't I won't recommend that building, for


safe one, I want to want to ask want to want to ask them ah uh update to the HDB ask them to drill some like fixture that that you can let the wind pass through but is safe enough that people don't fall down


I cannot lah I don't live there


I also didn't think, oh you can you you buy the income tax you you buy you don't buy the the lottery door in singapore you buy overseas then you win


then you pay the tax right considered the the tax to your government for your I don't know they call it some next tax or what ah but the tax value is lower, ya because your income ya because your income is earned overseas


ah <tamil>அதுக்கு ஒரு:athuku oru</tamil> calculation <tamil>இருக்கு:irukku</tamil> then if you really don't want to pay your income tax right you you donate the money is cheaper, ya I already ya no because that time I I'm doing the banking thing right so my my manager make us read a lot of stuff lah so she say that the first thing that most people rich people do is they will donate their portion not because they are generous is because they they don't have to pay a higher tax


ya if you pay, ah <tamil>ரொம்ப ஆயிரும்:rombe aaiyirum</tamil> so to to save that bit of money right they will rather donate the money to give the government the money


ah Gowri ah no no, both sisters right, ya but husband, no the the husband singapore citizen or


ah because <tamil>அங்க:ange</tamil> PR like so called permanent resident status <tamil>இருந்தா:iruntha</tamil> the things are very expensive what the tax thing the schooling thing all


and then sometimes I see when her birthday yesterday or today the daughter's birthday, both girls some more so fast they grow


because the second one last time I saw during a Deepavali function it was a baby now how old already, when we saw she was only a few months old you know


ah she's about Rashmi'S age is it, my god that means how many years you never see, then she should be about three four years old lah


Abi three and a half ya Abi three and a half


half day ah


okay okay that's it ah


hi, ya what's your name ah, hi hello, yes yes I can hear you yes that's perfect ya so ya so like uh what's your name ah I mean I know your name lah but they're just to just for fun lah ya


oh okay what do you do like like outside of this like this whole this whole study


oh year three in where, SP oh studying what, events management nice nice, so uh ya I currently going on to year two uh chemical engineering in NTU so ya I've been also like this COVID also like nothing really much to do at home also so like I've been doing a lot of personal projects


ya so ya you like to dance ah what kind of dance like contempt or, hip hop okay nice do you like go and perform often or something


oh, ah, now also a bit hard right like did your like performances get cancelled like do you have any performances like that was scheduled for this year all cancel is it


, plus uh ya NTU got like you know the hall you know the hostel thing then like uh they got different halls right then they have this like uh dance competition between all the halls right then ya then they had the fifty fifty person limit so they had this one dance crew with like sixty two right and then they had to withdraw out of that competition


so it's quite sad ya and actually right not I I actually they are actually like the best one among the the the whole lot eh because last year they also won but this year they had to not appear


that bad, ya, a lot of the programmes also cancelled ah, I remember like organising programmes and then they cancelled so like is


Pekcek lah then like uh then also like ya then I also like perform uh music ya for my hall also then also last minute cancelled cause ya too many people cause it was a joint hall like join hall performance so then the number of people that definitely above fifty ah so have to cancel ya


uh ya I mean that's quite true, ya I mean that time nobody know mah cause like very new so ya then they reschedule also they scared like it come back so at first they did postpone then after that they couldn't they couldn't pinpoint a date so that had to cancel


like isn't isn't it quite sad like do y'all practice a lot like


oh, but like when was the like the the scheduled date, [orh] but the actual actual thing leh


[orh] january ah, so y'all cancelled the the april one without having done anything lah


[orh] cause we were actually preparing for it like I mean but I mean I I was like a bit skeptical already so like I abit like half half hearted kind but like they actually prepared a lot of like


ya they prepared like very detailed and then like even to the point of like you know the rental for the area they actually paid the money and all the collaterals and everything so the last minute they really cannot lah they cannot they cannot go on with the the whole plan right then now is like they scrambling to get their money back


damn sad I mean but I am just a performer so like to me it was just like okay don't need to prepare like I was already like half half half of me know that I'm not going to do well


cause actually there was only like two weeks left and I only prepared like two numbers I was supposed to prepare four I only prepared two so I knew I was like quite screwed already but then they cancelled so like I just dump everything in the dustbin


like it's weird but do you have school during that period, [orh] exam period ah


like when the whole thing blew up or like uh like when you just started, [orh] when you just started ah so like how how was the semester like it's like it's like august to is it like august to like january then like uh like august to december then january to april may that kind or is it


[orh] so second sem lah but right smack in the middle cause I remember my second sem right when the thing started right it was the start of second sem so like I had like half of my classes like switch to online and then it started getting worse


it was just like it was just like disaster after disaster after disaster then like to the point where I'll I remember that time when the when PM announced circuit breaker right I was in week ten already like three three weeks three or four weeks before the exam like finals


I was like !wah! damn Jialat don't know how to what don't know don't know how to don't know how whether I can like like exam can continue or what then after that uh at first they said the exam like okay like they reduce like seventy five percent of the exams will be uh cancelled and the twenty five percents will continue


so seventy five percent of my exams were in a twenty five percent so it felt like nothing but then after that it cancelled also so I am like don't need do anything lah just sit at home and sleep already


[orh], (ppc) okay lah then like that for y'all okay ah cause ours we really we really like Kena thrown left right center sia at first like uh some physical some like you know uh online then after that became uh all lectures online then tutorials they were supposed to continue lah but then half my lecturers decided to #pang kang#


so ya then after that like then that time I still stay in hall like hostel then like the whole day I just sit inside my room and blank and do nothing much okay lah but that time still got exam to prepare then they had like they then got people complain cause their their submissions all shortened


cause they ya I mean they extend they they everything all shorten cause they switched to like some of them switched to alternative assessment so it like normal assessment plus that one what right then like every three days got submission kind so !wah! then they they then they complain then after that they decided to extend the semester by two weeks so became like week fifteen


then like week fifteen then have the exam right then after that week week eleven was the time where everything was cut , it's damn funny every every week is just like drama you know it's like it's like I don't even know what I'm going through sia like every week every week got email (ppc)


then sometimes the email very frustrating,


then how sia, LOA ah, (ppc), [orh], the school never help them to find meh


!wah! shit, but they don't have like a portal like they don't have like a like they gather the all the other companies to go and start hiring


[orh]


okay okay !wah! this one damn shag eh, (ppc) [orh] this one


but how much was the intern pay anyway though, okay okay, I mean for intern is okay lah but eight hundred still a bit (ppc) a bit sad


!wah! don't know cause I have friends that uh like uni lah like I have friends where they supposed to go overseas internship one


then cancelled I have this friend she she was supposed to go to US for internship, then after that they got cancelled on her then she had to come back but they they actually like uh ya they found like new companies to come and do like to open up ah to like uh tire this kind of like uh internship students ah


ya and then ya but then most of those most of those were like uh social enterprise all these ya so I don't know about the pay lah I mean I never ask cause quite sensitive matter to some people but (ppc)


ya but she say okay lah I mean at least she got something lah but I don't know about those people cause like I I feel I I saw that she is one of the luckier ones ah got a lot of them they actually cannot find ya like the Rabak one like the really cannot find the internship kind


I think is they cannot afford to hire also


not not good for everybody is a bit ya but I mean she was like business student lah so a bit ya like a bit lucky that I not taking business cause first year like this was the first year and then you Tio


you got this COVID and then you cannot find internship so at least like for engineering students like us right we don't find internship until third year so now is more of like just waiting for school to start do do do the school do the second year


so nothing much change so like but for business accountancy student they tend to like panic ah cause they need to do internship every semester I mean like every every year or something, like those like to stand out lah they really you know their holiday they need to do internship ya


but uni a bit Cham ah not not not very good lah no as in like it's it's the time of your life when you like you you you can be happy that you failed something


I don't know why is like I can walk out I can walk out of a test that I flung right I still feel happy because everyone just like I don't know what I'm doing I think I'm going to flung as well like


I don't know leh, ya I mean some some some of the courses don't have bell curve but uh for us we have bell curve ah like there are some like uh programmes where they purely on the marks ya but ya my my course doesn't fall that like ah we do bell curve


so even if I fail and everyone else fail right I think is not bad still cause I remember there was this one finals I mean I only go through one final cause like last year was my first sem first year and last sem got no exam so like the very first sem I at least uh math one paper like the very that like I don't know why lah but like uh we had to do a foundation math like course like foundation maths mod


so I went into the exam okay lah I was considered the one of the better ones ah there was some that didn't really understand anything so I went in I did my paper but my paper was like uh okay those that clear cut know how to do one is actually write all the way to the end one but then like there were a few questions where I literally just wrote three liners


like the first three lines and then after that I don't know what to do already so I just I just stopped and do other question so like is my whole paper was either it's like either done or like half done then there are people that do like try their best to do like every hard question and then like ya then this the the the they left like a few pages blank lah so I was looking around and then they were like


they actually left like two pages blank kind so like it was it was quite bad then after that I got my grades ah I was expecting like okay I'm not going to do very well cause like half the questions I only wrote three liners turns out i got an A so wait what so it's like ya it's bell curve ah if you don't do well you know there's bell curve to save you


but sometimes quite scary cause like there was this there was this other like okay so basically COVID that that period right then they have I had this one mod that uh


like in the end like the one of the twenty percent test became hundred percent so your whole semester grade hang on that and then I remember like uh I saw because the professor gave the marks so upon twenty a lot of them got like eighteen nineteen twenty kind


I I I saw a lot of like seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty then I got sixteen then I went to calculate like uh I I went to do some calculation lah so I use uh excel to help me calculate cause I was very worried, cause hundred percent what if you if you if you perform like that right you confirm B minus or something then you like !wah! you damn sad cause ya you thought that was the end of you lah like you see you work so hard but then you get B B plus and then your grade wasn't even like the bad kind it was like the quite okay kind but it's just that everyone just did quite well cause open book mah so it's the worst thing you know it's like


it doesn't even represent like your ability in that mod so like ya besides the point so I thought I wouldn't do well lah I don't know leh for some reason I think they modulated and I somehow managed to get, again ah A plus ah so like I dunno ah I think is that i think it's bell curve so it's it's really bell curve ah


but bell curve quite funny because uh MBS right they also got bell curve then actually one of the door one of the rooms right outside the door right they actually printed a picture of bell curve


and then they said that on my first day of school when I went there right the people said there are a lot of people that worship this god well I'm just like uh count me out man like no no please no do not do not indulge me in this kind of thing so like


ya like I really I I don't believe in that ah I believe in working hard lah so like I just like don't indulge me in that I'm just going to I'm just going to do whatever I can so i just like walk away so like usually like it really speaks volumes like ya like how this bell curve thing managed to save a lot of people ah


does poly have bell curve also


oh as in your one don't have ah, you you never ask your friends


right, like do you have any like previous experience or what or you just uh just jump into it this course


[orh] so so you came from O level to straight away go poly lah, so previously you didn't study or anything about it then you just go that course okay lah quite quite quite interesting ah I mean, but


right, like ya like regurgitation paper


okay that's not bad, !wah! you will never get in engineering eh


[orh] so it's a matter of whether you study or not lah cause engineering really difficult cause even they give you open book right also no use one the notes and the paper doesn't make sense one ya, I don't know I don't know where they get the thing from the link


[orh] really meh I thought it was more of like uh like how to like manage the thing or what or is it like


but won't be that kind of like uh that that kind of like few modules where you are asked to plan things like, like earlier one lah, only have one ah, okay okay so mostly it's just like how how is it like like theory


right right, like you can see the word and then you can just anyhow smoke one right


cause I remember like uh I okay so other than other than my NTU I mean other than my my current major right actually I took an elective in cyber security it's like I mean I took one mod lah as an elective lah it's not a major or minor kind of thing but it's just like one mod in itself


and then like most of the thing was like you can guess from the name so like what is like packet filtering then you like inside your mind filter packet lah like ya then after that you secret I mean you just read it you just look for the answer that says filter the packet then like ya then he was like no brainer but


but but okay lah but because the because I think the prof that taught this module was from uh engineering also so his final exam was actually damn tricky, like you are really have to infer ya like he give I don't know what he he quite application base so like he gave like one whole paragraph on the story and then like ask you like okay so what does this constitute what attack does this constitute so you really have to think damn hard and ya it's like quite interesting


so ya and then I saw like things that I never see before in the notes also I felt abit betrayed also I see already I just like oh my god this one typical engineering prof eh


!huh! law essay, (uh huh) okay okay biz law ah biz law


right, is it an open book, oh !walao! this one Sian sia then you need to memorize the whole cause from what I know right the biz law mod in NTU right is a open book


but they say very a lot like they they have to write a lot and like ya then like I saw the paper because I was I I needed to choose my elective for business, so I saw that then I was like I actually wanted to take that one but then I saw my friend struggling with the paper cause you need to write a lot right


even though it's open book but you need to understand the whole thing right and I don't think I'm the kind that very good to like memorize one whole book and ya so like I I took something else or like I took I took another mod which like it's just churning numbers and like uh like


if it was more of a uh statistical mathematical kind of thing ya so it was better for me but, biz law I wouldn't take sia I saw my friends notes, they uh


[orh], [orh] no because uh the the one that I saw it was uh okay they memorize I mean they don't they don't really memorize case studies one so they understand the case studies then after that to like to know like what which law lah like for example tort law all these lah like uh binding agreement all this nonsense one then after that they go to the exam right and then exam right they just Suka-Suka make up some case study out of nowhere


so it's like damn funny ah sometimes some some of the things some of the things it's not real one it's just they make they make out of it so I feel that like university professor sometime quite creative they are just out to kill people also sometime


ah I went JC that's why I uh anderson, ya but I mean A level paper you cannot really find anything other after that if you don't go anywhere lah so I Bo Pian ah I need I needed I needed something else ah ya like technical skills


ah no no no poly student will say that I'm sorry no no no poly student will say that, or,


ya actually [orh] ya I mean those that you are interested in you study ah then those you cause actually honestly speaking I wanted to go uh singapore poly chemical engineering one like actually knew then I wanted to do it but like I I I didn't know that I I mean I I didn't feel I was ready to


to to jump in yet I wanted to see if it's for me because it has a main maybe a reckless decision so i decided to go JC and wait it out first ya then I wait I wait two more years to find out whether I really like it ah and turns out ya lah ya I really liked it lah like the idea of it


then I realized that my my JC chemistry teacher also from NTU can also lol like because I I met I met like uh another friend and that teacher lah after I went to NTU ya then after that uh he said he was from there also then I'm like oh !wow!


ya ya literally I literally his junior lah I mean he was also from that JC also so like it is it's damn weird it's just like ya from there on from from JC onwards is like follow him kind after he went NIE ah so i don't know whether I want to go NIE yet


so like what what do you like want to do like after poly you want to like do more studies or do you just want to


but, oh uh which uh like uni and what course, cause I not sure, SMU ah


social science is it, oh social science okay lah will be quite fun I have friends doing that oh !wow!, then you never studied econs


okay lah but nevermind ah econs econs can quite can pick up lah I mean if you don't go JC do econs then ya I mean it will be easy to pick up ah, (ppc)


I mean it it it'll be different lah because ya I mean kids that age don't really understand much about the economy I mean even as a JC student I didn't understand anything also okay no lah not really I mean I understood the concept but whenever they asked the question lah I like


it's like you asked me to like uh under like show the understanding of what I learned or what right like uh how does the demand supply curve come about that kind of thing yes I can show you but right when you ask me that kind of question like uh to what extent does uh like expansionist fiscal policy improved don't know what nonsense one lah


!wah! that time right I see the question I blank I studied the whole night you know I went there blank, ya it was bad like I like to prove the stuff like how to prove the graphs how to prove the what and the mechanics but when they ask me something along those lines right I cannot do anything I legit cannot do anything cause like I don't know it just doesn't seem very natural like it doesn't ya it doesn't seem very natural like putting two these two together like one so quantitative and one so qualitative right couldn't it I to me it doesn't match up


so like I constantly failed lah ya and they thought I was a bad student I just couldn't like they give me the question I blanked out lah so like so like everytime is like you see my other my other like papers right all like not bad one like


like okay lah B C and then A A B and C then after that later you see my econs it's like U legit legit it was so bad right there's one time right the teacher called me out and said, uh <P2>javier</P2> uh actually I I suggest one thing ah uh you might want to consider dropping to H one economics they like uh I ignored her ah I I ignored her I I I just basically ignored her and just continue so I didn't care cause I know I know I'm not gonna do that


in uni so like I knew I was not going to do that in uni so like ya just, , ya but I mean I'm sure econs elsewhere is fun lah


C right, ya I was thinking I was thinking like uh later on during my uni right I want to take a elective on econs again just to see whether my ideals change cause I don't hate it I don't hate econs but the problem was the way that I was being tested right made me not feel that I don't understand anything


that's why I thought I hated it but then this uh I heard things that I heard people say that that mod very easy to score so I I might just try ah maybe I get a ah maybe not this sem ah not this sem ah I already pack my sem already I already prepared for my I I I mean I already registered for my courses already I got no other slot for this


not this sem ya but but next lah but this this sem will be quite tough cause there'll be a lot of like new stuff and like I don't know ah because like it feels like all the engineering schools they they want us to do programming also


so I have a programming programming mod then I have like uh statistics also so will be quite tough ya


nobody likes programming I I am struggling also like I actually I actually like learning like learning the basics of programming cause I scared later they assume we know how to do it then they just dump us there then I took some like online courses but very hard lah but very hard I tell you I was like dying okay first course okay but when I got to the second course I


!wah! getting worse I like and and it got so bad right I actually copying answers from internet I know I'm not actually thinking I just like copying answers for online and then thinking of why is the answer so I not actually creating any code on my own like ya then it's like


ya then like I thought I thought I was the only one that does this but turns out even the comp science people they actually like most of the time they don't know what they're doing then they borrow code from online they like go easy or like !huh! so y'all don't learn anything ah as in you learn something but we don't know how to apply then everybody all go get


then ya so it it it just prove that is is a hard thing to learn, and, uh what was the reason ah like


like because like now now everything is like very computerized and stuff so like even your processes like most of them are uh like monitored by uh computers so you don't really need to like like for example lah if you are in a plant right nowadays you don't really need to go there and add the thing yourself


like you can put a machine then after that you just programme to maintain that thing so like you learn that the knowledge to know what like what condition but you do not need to go and maintain it cause you build the programme to I mean there will be people to build a programme to maintain it for you you just need to tell them what


what conditions so like everything is getting so computerized you need to learn a bit lah not say you need to be a master at it but you need to know at least what's going on so like they legit they legitimately just making you learn all everything and everything at once so like ya it's quite it's quite bad like if you don't understand the thing at first you will struggle very hard


ya, cause uh my first mod my first sem they actually made me learn like some electronic engineering stuff also and I was terrible at circuits ya I was very terrible at circuits I don't know why is like should be easy but I think I just over complicated things and make it make life hard for myself


then I've to learn like uh cells and biology which I totally didn't study so I literally just gave the bell curve to people who studied it it is so bad oh my god they gave a open book test but I couldn't answer any of the question


[orh]


no is in I'm okay with like uh applying and thinking lah but because uh those are stuff that I don't really read up on so that is that's the problem where, where you are not familiar and then like ya it's just it's just screws you up lah but okay now now at least like after studying a bit is better lah like you could understand the thing


so it really depends lah if you are the kind to like uh like to memorize and like uh read stuff and uh just throw it out I think there are courses that can suit that lah and if you are the kind like that you know you look at words you fidget


you look at words you look at like large chunk of words you Kena ADHD kind right there are also courses for you ah so like I don't know I feel like I'm the kind where I I I look at you know those biz law books right, I read the first twenty pages i will start like zoning out I'll just be like enough is enough then like oh I cannot already like ya then to memorize is even worse like ya


because I don't really like to put like I don't really like to like read things and put them in my head ah I prefer to read things put them in my head and think or something else ya like like I I need to apply it lah I cannot I cannot just put them inside my head you know you just you just ya I will just forget it one


so I need to make something,


oh but, [orh], oh !wah! cannot I cannot I will I will fidget cause the cyber security that mod right also a lot of like memorization I remember I cramp the night before uh my second CA I I I registered nothing ah


but I went to the I went to the test I still did okay cause like I basically talk myself through the answer I'm like I'm like I see the I see the definition right then I don't memorise one I just like try to get what it means and then just just rephrase it myself


so ya then I'll just I'll just keep that I'll just like because you will say yourself you tend to remember what you say mah ya like I don't I don't memorise people's words I I somehow remember my words so I rephrase already right then it stays in my memory right


like the idea and the concept right and then when I go there then I'm just like okay uh write something as close to this as possible, so sometimes by definition I can like you know like not not score well cause they don't have the word they looking for but the idea is there so when they ask me to apply I can apply cause I understand the thing I know what to I know what to do I just cannot spit out the I just cannot spit up the the the definition


so is like you have a huge chart of calculations and the first part right is like a MCQ definition right uh that's it that that that that that's when I know that's when I know I won the battle already cause I just need to see which one is closest to what I understand right then I I just submit that as my answer ya so like ya then they did that in the form your MCQ MCQ quiz so I basically just like


I I I didn't really study much so I just like okay I think this seems like it ya so it wasn't that bad but then I realised that I couldn't like memorize a lot


ya the attention span is not there and then like I tend I I tend to ya I mean I tend to take ideas I mean I take concepts better than the actual definition so most of the time actually I'm just trying to like say in a way that I understand the thing ya


that's why I cannot I cannot survive in like courses like uh like business okay econs I can still survive a bit cause there's concept but if like you are you take you required to memorize a huge chunk of things right like uh literature or it it doesn't work or uh public policy I mean there's a public policy course in NTU I don't think I'll survive there so


oh history is again another nightmare , I I I always bank on uh I always bank on case study I always bank on case study cause case study can smoke I always smoke during case study then come come to essay I cannot make it one


like I would, ya sia I like it when you know like some of the what right like the answers right you write one liner you get the almost the full marks kind so there was a few times I saw that I'm just like wait what then I try to do that then after that they tell me don't do this a bit risky


wait ah let me just pause the recording I don't think I told her that I doing this so she doesn't know that I I need I need like a very quiet room I cannot sia later vaccuum cleaner just roll in like that right !wah! shit man


ya then but okay lah I mean I think so far uni quite fun do you think poly was fun cause


they say poly also quite Chiong eh what I heard from people it's like poly also quite Chiong, ah submissions


!wah! submissions ah uni is full of submissions so prepare to don't sleep like there's a uni like okay I we have this saying ah in NTU ah uh three AM ah is normal


legit cause like okay we some of us we live in hall right then after that like we like we got submissions to Chiong ah I mean even engineering students also got submission to Chiong one eh like uh they got like uh lab reports ah all those funny funny reports all these then ya then always have to Chiong until three AM in the morning kind


some of them even have back to back submissions but I remember there was this one week where I had two lab reports due then I had this other communication course that I need to submit another report so that's three reports in one week


cannot I spend one day reading the communication report the the that thing cause you are supposed to read a sample report and evaluate it those kind where you know you you really like go full on teacher mode just nitpick on the person


and it wasn't like like uh like nitpick in the very sophisticated manner like is those kind where you really go down to the grammar like this guy used the wrong word I see two full stops in this because at first I was expecting like okay uh like they didn't talk about the effectiveness of this project they did not like go into what then after that suddenly my tutor was like you can also go into things like the grammar and the language use


and like uh I at first I heard that I was like uh madam but we are engineering student not uh NIE teachers she's like uh ya we understand but I mean that's also another way you can do it then I'm like


easy ah easy ah I just have one whole paragraph trying to nitpick the guys grammar legit cause that that could cause uh to them right that can be one point itself so you have to raise three points right like uh cohesiveness how how the thing gel together how the thing what then after that you got like things like language use and then the whole thing you can just talk about how's that guy's language is good or bad


but the but the report they gave was so bad right my one paragraph right ya I was just full of that and I had to cut words cause there was a five hundred word limit and that paragraph on language took like two hundred and fifty words I had to slash that but but fun ah fun but like like not not fun #chiong#ing that at three AM in the morning I cannot


then like ya it's so bad right that I my roommate has like a stash for late night study like he would have like a like a one corner where he store all his red bull all these right so that when he need to Chiong his coding right then he just drink red bull


cause my roommate was a computer science ya then sometimes he would he got projects to do right and then he Chiong until like three three four AM in the morning kind but I'm not mean not like I'm sleeping either lah cause I got my own stuff to do so ya like I Chiong until like really two of us we literally just stay there and Chiong until three four AM in the morning


then after that in the end both of us never wake up for next day lesson ya it's so bad like and it's very normal like it's very normal to Chiong until three four AM cause like you got other activities like CCA all these right so there are days where you really cannot do work cause you go for CCA meeting then after you go for supper


and I mind you NTU supper right when you go out for supper is next level ah they can stay until like three four AM also no problem one so that's like you totally don't get to study ya then after that you know then there are days that you you have nothing and that's the day that you have to Chiong your own work


then !wah! then everyday just like three four AM sleep at three four AM kind ya it's not normal I mean not normal as a human ah but for NTU for for university student very common lah


uh exam I need to set like five six alarm one ya I need to set five six alarm to wake up kind then but I got but the thing is uh for university exam got a lot of the papers are in like afternoon or sometime evening there was once I had a paper at seven thirty


seven thirty to nine thirty ya then I had another paper was like five to five to seven then there was this one day where I had a paper from nine to twelve and then after that I had a three hour break then three to five PM


so I so the three to five PM was the cyber security paper and the morning one was the math one paper so what I did was I didn't study for cyber sec after I finished my math class my math exam you know what I did I went to eat then I went to a aircon room and I slept there


I didn't study everyone was just mugging then I'll just like I I just flat out just went to sleep cause I know I know I couldn't study anymore like I I know I was quite tired like I could feel that I was like closing my eyes so I decided not to study and I knew that I could just read the question and try to decipher because that was a MCQ paper


so I knew that I okay at that point I already study quite a bit so I kind of understood the concepts so I decided to go to sleep what wise choice people thought I was a rebel eh like !wah! why this guy sleeping sia I thought later got cyber then then meanwhile they was just me in the corner down there just


, !huh!, uh I mean you'll fail ah as in as in because it is a high percentage of your overall grade right if you don't turn up it's like gone it's like instead of starting from hundred you start from forty


so even if you don't want to turn up also no point lah unless you like there's a there's a term where we say <mandarin>打包:da bao </mandarin> ah <mandarin>打包:da bao </mandarin> mod so you don't turn up you go and take MC so you take MC and then you reflect as MC but next sem you have to take again


ya so a lot of people did that like <mandarin>打包:da bao </mandarin> , ya <mandarin>打包:da bao </mandarin> mod


the better one right, like they not confident or they need more time to, [orh]


ya sia, [orh] then that one is too bad but that's their own problem already what but uni uni students usually they they pay attention for the second time like they actually like when they do it they really do it kind ya wait are we supposed to record like in chinese or something like six minutes


okay ya just going to anyhow already how's your chinese okay lah K lah K right steady <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> okay lah


then <mandarin>我们就继续刚才讲:wo men jiu ji xu gang cai jiang </mandarin> ah <mandarin>那那那个那关于学校的课题的:na na na ge na guan yu xue xiao de ke ti de </mandarin> I mean <mandarin>比较容易啊因为第一次讲话有点难:bi jiao rong yi a yin wei di yi ci jiang hua you dian nan </mandarin> , <mandarin>所以就对咯我已经很多年没有用华语:suo yi jiu dui lo wo yi jing hen duo nian mei you yong hua yu </mandarin> so <mandarin>有一点奇怪嗯:you yi dian qi guai n </mandarin>


ah <mandarin>有些人就真的不好玩:you xie ren jiu zhen de bu hao wan </mandarin> just just just <mandarin>把一个你看又来:bs yi ge ni kan you lai </mandarin> liao okay lah <mandarin>那个只是:na ge zhi shi </mandarin> demo <mandarin>而已:er yi </mandarin>


then <mandarin>他们的的那个发音全部都飘来飘去啊全部怪怪的:ta men de de na ge fa yin quan bu dou piao lai piao qu a quan bu guai guai de </mandarin>


ah <mandarin>我我读高级华文:wo wo du gao ji hua wen </mandarin> mah so <mandarin>那时候读很多华文读很多华文讲很多华文:na shi hou du hen duo hua wen du hen duo hua wen jiang hen duo hua wen </mandarin> like <mandarin>讲到讲到蛮:jiang dao jiang dao man </mandarin> okay lah so <mandarin>比较容易讲话:bi jiao rong yi jiang hua </mandarin> but <mandarin>一旦去到那个初级学院啊就有点奇怪:yi dan qu dao na ge chu ji xue yuan a jiu you dian qi guai </mandarin> ah


but okay lah <mandarin>那时候基础蛮不错:na shi hou ji chu man bu cuo </mandarin> so <mandarin>现在还是有点没有没有烂到哪里去那种啦还好是没有烂到哪里去:xian zai hai shi you dian mei you mei you lan dao na li qu na zhong la hai hao shi mei you lan dao na li qu </mandarin> lah so !aiyo! okay lah <mandarin>也是差不多:ye shi cha bu duo </mandarin>


ah <mandarin>有点可惜:you dian ke xi </mandarin> okay lah <mandarin>也是差不多:ye shi cha bu duo </mandarin> liao <mandarin>一个小时:yi ge xiao shi </mandarin> !wah! !wah! <mandarin>这样讲了也蛮累:zhe yang jiang le ye man lei </mandarin> sia


hello, uh <P2>xin yi</P2>, hi can you hear me


okay, yah


uh not much eh like I dance a bit but it's not a lot like cause now I'm studying also and I am in year three already, SP


uh events, yah, you eh,


yah, , I don't hip hop, yah


uh only like school performances I guess, you know like the regular like open house like CCA carnival that kind of thing, yah but now not lah obviously, , yah


yah a lot we had a lot, yah,


yah, [orh] okay yah


oh no, , !aiya! so Suay


yah it's damn unlucky lor for everybody, this thing, yah, oh I also last year


(mmhmm)


[orh], , I think like the worse thing is that you don't know when you will end, so you like even if you wanna like reschedule right you are just gonna keep postponing


yah we also like that outside, (hmm), actually like at that time we haven't started anything yet cause yah cause I was in committee so I had to plan a lot


[orh] we had this it was starting from like january onwards, yah, yah january lor


yah then we had like some in april and then one like in november also then the november one we also don't know whether we can go ahead with it


yah,


oh no


oh my god, , !aiyo!


yah, yah, very Suay, uh it was my exam period so it wasn't that bad, yah so like we just go school then yah lor just for I think it was like the last few weeks of school already then it was like study break so yah lah not that bad lah


when it just started, yah


our sem is april to september I think, yah yah yah


[orh], oh,


oh


, for us is like when the whole thing blew up we were still in holiday so it wasn't that bad


so like when we started school we were just like straight to online online classes already, so like quite Heng ah,


yup oh


[orh]


oh, oh, oh


oh, , my friends


some like very very Suay cause we started internship I think in like march then cause I'm in events mah so a lot of the companies their events are cancelled so they got pulled out their company


and then they have to find like a company within like a week otherwise they will be put in the next like they will change class and then like they have to start studying now that kind of thing, it's like it's damn damn Suay for them no


they just ask them to like send as many like of their resume to like companies then see who accept then they will just take


cause like all the companies like their lists all have like it's all filled out already mah cause like it's like half of the batch go for internship so like every company that they have already like filled up their vacancy already so like all those people that got pulled out then they have to go find like outside people like outside companies that weren't even like accepted by school in the first place


yah, yah then like then I think a few of them like the school started like a programme for them but then they don't get pay, , yah then damn sad for them


I think it's like eight hundred for some people which is like okay lah I mean like I guess, yah yah


well those like that don't get paid right it's really like damn Suay,


(mmhmm), ,


yah cause I think like companies also don't wanna hire anybody anymore like at that time, yah, and also like yah so like cannot blame them but it's just it's just like the situation is damn very Pekcek for everybody


, , [orh],


, oh


[orh], , that's cool , why


[orh] okay, do y'all have bell curve,


, okay, it's not bad yah


oh my god, !wow! (ppc)


, yah that's like good thing about bell curve


, yah


(ppc),


you know I really did like last time o levels also like that everybody also like bell curve god, I don't know leh I don't think my course have or at least at least I don't feel like there is one maybe other courses have ah


I don't think so, , no lah actually like my course is like for me is quite easy


cause a lot of our content you just memorize one lah, like just, like in secondary school I got do like a few events like those like small small ones then I felt like I think I like events


so like I just went into it, , yah, yah, but it's like a lot of the content you just like you just memorize and like the papers also quite easy


but it's just whether like you want to study for it, eh really eh like the and then they give marks quite easily as well like they say like list five things and then they give you like five marks


yah and it's like I think a lot of the papers are like that you just really like just memorize word for word and then you just like copy paste, and then , yah like that's why I think like my course is like the easier ones but I have a lot of friends that don't do well lor because they don't want to study


yah, , , yah cause like


cause my course you don't you don't really need to apply anything, like yah, yah but like, you only do that in like when you actually have an event but in the papers you don't really need to ah


we only have one yah, and it's like six credits


yah, theory, yah it's just theory yah I just really like theory lor then yah the questions also very like no brainer like you can guess what they are going to come out, yah


yah got some is like you can really really bullshit


, ah okay, yah yah


, (hmm),


I also have one module like that I studied law for like two two sem I think, yah, contract law for like I don't know I guess like that make sense in our course I don't know yah then after that like during tutorials like the questions is like quite simple but in exams they will layer like many different theories


and then like want you to find out like what's the real issue then is like that kind is like very very tricky, no, yah


oh, oh yah it's a lot,


, yah


yah it's so crazy eh, then like for us cause it's not open book then have to memorize all the cases, it's all like jumbled up together during the exam


oh that's nice, that's nice, yah


before this do you go JC or poly, which JC, oh


yah, I wanted to go JC also, actually not really, yah


yah I I didn't want to go because like I don't know I felt like I wouldn't study those that those like subjects I didn't like like based on my experience in secondary school, I'll just study one and then like not the rest kind of thing yah


, yah, yah, get it


, , [orh]


[orh], oh that's that's nice what a coincidence,


I don't know leh I wanna I want to go uni but right now I'm thinking whether I want to take gap year


I want go SMU, there's this course lah but I don't know it's about like I think like law and got like some economics I don't know I haven't like really look into it yah yah yah social science


cause cause I like economics, yah, but then, yah I didn't


yah, I took it in secondary school because my school got offer but like I'm sure is like different than actual economics


yah,


yah yah yah, oh my god I hate those questions eh


yah, yah, and I hated I hated those questions then they ask you like what's the benefits of having this, like thingy


, , yah, !aiya!


yah I just like it cause like you can understand it I don't know I feel like other subjects is abit more like far fetched but like econs is like something that you can, see something like that lah yah it's more interesting also


, yah just try lor anyways you got take before what,


, [orh], I heard programming is horrible I have a lot of friends that don't like programming


, , yah


yah that's nice, ,


for your online course , , [orh] okay,


uh,


but why do you need to learn though


(hmm),


oh, , ,


I don't think I could ever like do courses like that I'm not made for this kind of thing man so hard eh I rather write words and just words,


, I get it I have some friends like that also that's why they don't do well in like my course there's like really like zero application I used to like application but I was forced to adapt to this kind of thing


no I just feel like I memorize like easy like yah for me I don't know why like I can memorize like seven seven topics like the night before the exam, yah


, ah yah ah yah yah yah


, yah my course not like that one lor we are like forced to remember word by word


, , oh my god literature oh my god I cannot


literature aside and like history was my nightmare, I couldn't leh like in secondary school I lose my mind everytime


, yah yah yah


you just make sure like your case study is like damn Swee Swee then you will like make up for your essay marks


oh yah yah, , yah


okay, ,
