ya <mandarin>因为我我自己本身是那种:yin wei wo wo zi ji ben shen shi na zhong</mandarin> err


but <mandarin>我我去想这种:wo wo qu xiang zhe zhong</mandarin> very this kind of question when I think of it I will keep think think think think then I cannot find answer then I just give up ya so end of the day <mandarin>我就想:wo jiu xiang</mandarin> !aiya! <mandarin>不要去想:bu yao qu xiang</mandarin> lah so you you get what I mean ya


or like the answer there's no right or wrong then


, (mmhmm) (mmhmm), okay , err no


(mmhmm)


(mmhmm), err yes, (uh huh), [orh]


okay okay that's the meaning of free will lah, okay


ya, correct,


ah ya, ya correct, so so why why he he didn't


, eh but it's actually I mean


, ya maybe you can do that also, since, since you know it's a very good opportunity, I mean


(mmhmm), ya


yes, (mmhmm)


ya it's actually actually this reminds me of a movie, I don't know if you have watched before it'a called uh surrogate, I don't know if I pronounce ya I don't know if I pronounce wrongly correctly, ya it's actually


it's actually err err like future generation whereby, the people, don't go out to socialise they actually have this err something like a AI you mentioned so they actually create this robot AI so they uh ya so there's basically they are sitting on a chair I mean they have this system lah they're sitting on a chair then control the AI that while uh ya so the AI will actually replace them then go to work do everything like your daily life lah


then your root, ya so basically your real self is stuck at home that means you don't socialise anymore everything is true uh technology


it's a pretty nice show but, ya like it really like what you said earlier on it reminds me of this movie lah, it's a very long, uh quite long ago this this film


, I I mean of course it's not like those nineties lah as in like this movie has been out for long lah,


ya I will send I will I will send you the name of it


, ya correct, I not sure netflix have or not, but can search lah


I mean okay then <mandarin>我等他播完我在看因为我不要:wo deng ta bo wan wo zai kan yin wei wo bu yao</mandarin> like you know cliff hanging <mandarin>看到一半:kan dao yi ban</mandarin> then cliff hanging


, , !wah! !wah! I mean so far is it okay, the show


is it


so err err like it doesn't err trigger me lah eh like not say trigger lah like <mandarin>就是没有弄我很:jiu shi mei you nong wo hen</mandarin> like !wow! that kind


like err ya


oh okay okay you also okay ya that show that show err <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> err is nice, why what do you mean


okay err I think basically <mandarin>因为他:yin wei ta</mandarin> okay err <mandarin>当下我:dang xia wo</mandarin> I mean <mandarin>当他播的时候我在追的时候:dang ta bo de shi hou wo zai zhui de shi hou</mandarin> err <mandarin>是会有点动脑筋:shi hui you dian dong nao jin</mandarin> lah okay <mandarin>因为那个:yin wei na ge</mandarin> err


but err, ya okay so basically the male lead right, is uh apparently supposed to be dead


ya so the grim reaper, ya I know right but err ya so uh where was I oh then the male lead supposed to be dead then the grim reaper


err, got into the body ya possessed him


cause the ya, it cause the grim , correct, correct


and the thing is err this err this err grim reaper and the male lead, err was err uh not blood brothers <mandarin>就是很像就是不是亲生不是亲生兄弟:jiu shi hen xiang jiu shi bu shi qin sheng bu shi qin sheng xiong di</mandarin> but <mandarin>就是那种一起长大的兄弟:jiu shi na zhong yi qi zhang da de xiong di</mandarin> lah if you get what I mean


ya so that's why it link,


ah then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> grim ya then the grim reaper <mandarin>上那个身:shang na ge shen</mandarin> so you know ya <mandarin>有一点复杂:you yi dian fu za</mandarin> lah <mandarin>在这个:zai zhe ge</mandarin> part lah ya, (ppc)


oh that one is is it nice because, because it <mandarin>很像有点太我我:hen xiang you dian tai wo wo</mandarin> I'm not the kind of like <mandarin>铺:pu</mandarin> romance one I I don't really like but and in his look very romance to me I decided not to give it a chance


(mmhmm),


, , okay


okay maybe I should give it, a go, eh but <mandarin>我我我怎么发现:wo wo wo zen me fa xian</mandarin> I got realise as in I got watch some view of the, uh K drama on netflix that's pretty not bad but I need to go back to see whether my history can retrieve or not because


ya, (ppc)


, , ah, okay okay okay


, (mmhmm), really


oh my god eh okay I I do, oh <mandarin>不然你可以我不懂你有没有看过:bu ran ni ke yi wo bu dong ni you mei you kan guo</mandarin> scarlet heart


oh ya ya ya ya that's that's what I do also because <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> ah <mandarin>我没有看那个中国的:wo mei you kan na ge zhong guo de</mandarin> I never watch the china one <mandarin>我直接:wo zhi jie</mandarin> start with <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> korean <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> then <mandarin>我看完:wo kan wan</mandarin> korean Liao then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin>


ya I went with the chinese one I went to watch the chinese one, it's so funny, the chinese one, uh, I mean for my for me lah I personally like the uh korean version one


because the ya, I think because err the korean one touch touch me, like <mandarin>让我感动:rang wo gan dong</mandarin> but the chinese one just never lah I mean it's still touching but not to the extent of the


korean one lor , err I watched halfway , I watched halfway,


okay I think because err back then uh when you started watching also when you started watching then you me that show so I watched a bit then I forget what is the reason that I stopped lah I think it was, I think <mandarin>是在:shi zai</mandarin> focus on certain thing


ya then, I it could I forget what the what the reason that stopped me lah like I think was because , really, you mean


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), what the


ah


!wow! okay maybe I should go back and watch the <mandarin>延禧:yan xi</mandarin> again I almost forgot that show, , I think I will I think I will rewatch everything eh because you watch halfway you watch halfway because you watch halfway you definitely will forget the first half of the show mah


so, I think, twenty plus only, like twenty overplus episode


so so that's why, no you reminded me because <mandarin>我本来没有戏看的:wo ben lai mei you xi kan de</mandarin>


oh okay okay I was <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I, I recently just watch that also I recently just watch ya not bad not bad, ya ya ya correct, ya what


ya that one ya I don't know lah because as of now the storylines still not so you know very sweet sweet kind, ,


oh, ya correct correct, but okay lah sometimes, switch here and there lor I think, like


you can always rewatch again ah you know I watched the scarlet heart korean version like so many times, ya so many times and it's not I love it but I think the story ya I I think their korean version


I I felt it's better lah, oh, I think scarlet <mandarin>它因为它让我哭:ta yin wei ta rang wo ku</mandarin> that's why <mandarin>我才会去看:wo cai hui qu kan</mandarin> because <mandarin>中:zhong</mandarin> because china


whereby the korean [one] (uh) actually, they did ya did did make me like


okay, so, just now what were we discussing ah what's the first question


where's the place that you will want to go


, okay,


[orh] so <mandarin>你在:ni zai</mandarin> aim like <mandarin>年底:nian di</mandarin> lah,


okay so, so korea is korea is one place I mean <mandarin>你没有去过:ni mei you qu guo</mandarin> korea, what, but why is that


as in <mandarin>没有朋友:mei you peng you</mandarin> or like is the, or or what like you just can't find the time to go,


so who are you, who are you thinking of going with, what, !wah! but !wah! korea is so big like I I I actually have a dream hor in twenty twenty that I want to go on a road trip in korea


ya ya ya so it's more of like err you know <mandarin>因为他们有:yin wei ta men you</mandarin> highways hor that will lead you to the different parts it's very big mah so you can actually drive around the roads are generally quite developed lah so it's quite safe, ya so that's I I've been saying I want to do it lah but I haven't like gotten down to it and then this year we can't travel


, ah other than holidays I mean for work are we gonna talk about work now I mean I'm recruiting lah I'm trying to recruit more people lor so I'm aiming to be a manager by twenty twenty like early twenty twenty


yes, then what about you,


ya lor but <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> sad hor that is all that that,


(ppc), , ya eh but, eh but for us we have our skills future right have you ever use <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> skills future to <mandarin>去学一个:qu xue yi ge</mandarin> language


you haven't ah I have eh actually I I I went to learn uh basic thai before <mandarin>就是用:jiu shi yong</mandarin> skills future,


so it's not really very conversational you you get what I mean so that was what I felt leh ya but then to really master <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> language right that is when <mandarin>你需要掏钱:ni xu yao tao qian</mandarin> like hundreds and hundreds of dollars right to continue eh and it takes so long you know


ya so so this is one thing lah ya,


correct


but I've discussed with my husband before leh like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> suggest hor to <mandarin>去学:qu xue</mandarin> uh korean mah since you know we visit korea so often


and then <mandarin>他就跟我讲要学的话就学一点比较:ta jiu gen wo jiang yao xue de hua jiu xue yi dian bi jiao</mandarin> useful <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> language like Bahasa indonesian, , so <mandarin>到今天:dao jin tian</mandarin> hor I haven't I haven't learn korean


I say it so long already you know I haven't even sign up for it, , ya but do you dare to use do you think you will dare to speak when you are there


okay, yes,


!hais!, yes, , but okay lah <mandarin>可以是可以去学:ke yi shi ke yi qu xue</mandarin> lah I have friends who have learned it even my mother-in-law hor she actually went to study korean and everything and it's very cute you know yes her group hor even went to korea together like like they make plans to go korea together


ya so it's like making a new group of friends, , actually if I'm free I can go with you lah I am honestly like interested in <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> language it's just that <mandarin>我也是没有人:wo ye shi mei you ren</mandarin> to sign up with to have to go alone it's very Sian lah it's very dreadful


wait


you know like conversational so <mandarin>你不用去跟一个:ni bu yong qu gen yi ge</mandarin> stranger who is sitting beside you you know <mandarin>勉强的:mian qiang de</mandarin> have a conversation you can just <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> you know work together lor


so funny okay so I mean language uh picking up a new language is one thing other than travel lah, then is there anything else


, correct there's no point in like going to different parts of singapore as well, times like this times like this I really wish we are like china or korea where our country is bigger


ya I saw the the airbnb boss right <mandarin>他讲:ta jiang</mandarin> that err you know twenty twenty is a year of domestic travel <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> you go to places in your country but they're not where you stay


I wish that we can do that but we can't ,


, to have such a big plan


I like I didn't understand what was going on there, you understand, ya so I was saying uh I went to Tampines recently and then to me right because I've stayed in the west I have to say ah the west side right has a different culture from the east side


I went to Tampines recently right and it really felt like I went back into a ghetto like that's all a ghetto ah ghetto GHETTO


ya it was very scary leh like firstly there were so many people so many people and then there were like err secondary school kids right buying cigarettes from smokers on the roads and they're just smoking in broad daylight in their uniforms


yes I don't know is it a generation thing or what but I really saw that while I was waiting for my bubble tea, ya I'm


so it is acceptable nowadays lah this thing like


even residents will come down and tell you like okay I'm going to report you to the school right, that's why, ya I don't know what is the matter with like the generation nowadays


I was honestly very disgusted leh , and the person who I tell you


so he you can see that he is a little, weird I don't I I cannot describe him better but he just looks a bit like of an outcast so when the you know uniform boys right went to buy cigarettes from him right


!wah! he was really out to impress them lah I don't know what was going on like, okay, that when I, can you hear me now


okay so I was saying right <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> the one who sold the cigarettes right, like the guy is so weird like he he was trying to impress <mandarin>那些:na xie</mandarin> secondary school boys I don't know what was going on lah seriously like how can you be selling cigarettes to underage kids I don't understand


uh school kid buy cigarettes, , okay


, !hais!, oh I I won't


ya but I think for us girls right it's it's it's less likely to happen I I do know of friends ah like err our colleagues they they have you know just


I don't think they helped but it's just uh secondary school kids have came up to them asked them to help them buy cigarettes and everything like it's more common because probably they're males, yes but it's the


, okay so, if you can start a business what would it be I mean, do you know that recently people around us are starting their own businesses


you did you, , I I mean on facebook I received two invitation to like lah, (ppc)


ya ya ya, ya it's okay so, what's your what's your take on this


yes, okay


(mmhmm),


yes that's right, ya I get it in fact I think I think our boss hor has a quite a strict policy when it comes to this like, firstly he believes in, putting your all in a business for it to succeed so like if you are distracted by something else there is no way no way you can succeed in either of the industry that that's his core belief lah to begin with


okay so so there have been people who wanted to join us but then err turns out they have a side business mah so, what our boss did was to you know tell them like you have to choose either one lor you really have to because otherwise it's not fair is more of the fairness lah


ya like you you you are just putting half your efforts into this business that we are all in and then you are expecting other people who are doing it full time to give you the full time support, and that shows ya a little bit of inequality in the efforts over there lah


ya but I mean that being said lah if, if you were given like an option okay let's say what we are doing is not viable though what is the business that you would like to go into


yes, okay the like, ,


okay, , okay


, and and definitely that there will be a dessert shop that you look up too right, is there


, okay


, , okay


okay, so is there any like dessert shop in singapore that you you really like, like you see you see that it will be a success in singapore


, oh, what's the name of the shop ah


oh where, oh where is it like located, red hill okay, okay


, , okay booth, is it, uh, okay


is it the place with the with the with the shiny cakes ah, like their glazed it's not, okay that,


I I I have I have no idea lah but is the is the is the dessert there nice or is it just pretty


, okay,


, , err, , there is a there is a cake shop ah that I really really really like in singapore it's located at duxton


so is uh the name of the shop yes the name of the shop is flor patisserie or something FLOR, ya so it's the first time right I've eaten a cake right with cream that taste like this you know you know the the cakes that you buy from uh bakeries and all that right


they just taste like cream right like normal cream, I tell you I think ah this shop uses like special cream I think they whip it from like special milk it's just different like the cream is so thick and rich and it makes you feel fat ah not from the sugar but from the cream


so you you understand what I mean like the cream is so fatty tasting right it you're not sick from the sweetness from it it's not because it's sweet but it's because the taste is very flavourful it's very rich when it you know touches your tongue


ya but that is the best cake but then that being said right I've only eaten it like a few times because to buy a full cake right it's too expensive already, yes


it's just, oh what is it, okay I know the one by PFD kitty lah, okay but I heard it's closing down leh


ya because of this covid, yes and her husband right the shawn , oh but it's a very nice it's it's a very pretty place right with free parking and all I've never visited I've never visited leh


yes, okay, ya


oh I see, oh okay okay understand but but speaking of dessert hor <mandarin>我明天:wo ming tian</mandarin> hor <mandarin>我会带我的:wo hui dai wo de</mandarin> husband <mandarin>去吃:qu chi</mandarin> uh <mandarin>去喝:qu he</mandarin> eh uh <mandarin>绿茶:lv cha</mandarin> you know green tea from this shop uh it's Hvala I don't know whether you heard it before H V A L A


ya, ya so <mandarin>它有两间分店:ta you liang jian fen dian</mandarin> one is in at chijmes and one is at uh orchard like somerset triple one, so I've been there right I've drank the green tea the matcha I tell you I I hate matcha


but I drink matcha there it's ridiculous right I hate matcha but I drink matcha there so my friend said the the, ya, ya my friend said the desserts were very nice so tomorrow I will go and try because everytime I look at it it looks so dead you see it looks like it's been put there for a while but my friend said that it's so good so good so good so okay tomorrow I'll give it a try


yes, , the bitter taste or what the ya okay I understand I nather do I


, ya matcha goes so well with green uh red bean


, I get it but I tell you if you are ever in town


like near city hall or or or somerset right you can actually go and try the that drink like I really think it's one of the best drinks in singapore it's better than bubble tea for sure lah it's really better than bubble tea


yes ya later I can send you the the shop name HVALA I don't even know how to pronounce it, it's like a japanese inspired, ya like the the the interior design and all it looks very japanese


, ya ya it's good it's good, I don't know why I'm doing this marketing for them but I really think, like whatever they do there is good like I want them to


uh succeed like such good things right I really hope for customers to keep going back so that they can sustain their business and stay for long, ya you know like in singapore it's so competitive to have a brick and mortar


you know shop it's just cannot lah the rental is crazy, ya so many businesses are going down even robinsons going down


oh I am so not a business person eh I really have zero idea about business it's like to the point that I think by now you know my husband is quite the entrepreneur right, so like from time to time again right he will ask me this question but it's been like so many years and I still don't have an answer I told him that I really cannot start a business I can take over a business I can run the business but I cannot start a business you understand what I mean


ya I think people uh people with, people need to have uh ideas like you need to be creative to come up with a business idea I think that I'm lacking I'm really lacking I'm a very executive person


which means that ah, assume that


a business ah, I would okay honestly ah I think recently I've been exposed to the world of tuition-ing, so my friend ya my friend is a tuition teacher and she has been sharing with me like the rates that she charge so do you know right for a K two child


kindergarten ah K two, she charges forty dollars per hour, yes so I think okay if if I were to start a business I think I might look into starting a tuition agency


not because I'm passionate or what it's just because of the money, ya


K two <mandarin>很夸张:hen kua zhang</mandarin> eh K two <mandarin>他们会什么:ta men hui shen me</mandarin> !aiyo!, so it's the parents lah I think it's the parents everyone is earning so much money right and then you know they are spending less time with their kids who are like in turn not listening to them


so end up you just have to pay lah you have to pay for other people to come


the the the last that she told me was ah she teaches up to primary school so P six right for just one subject ah she can charge a hundred dollars, per hour yes


ya, so can you imagine how much money is this tuition like industry,


okay, , uh


I mean (ppc), okay okay, but you think about it right if you charge a hundred for


primary school right there's no way you can charge two hundred an hour for <mandarin>中四的:zhong si de</mandarin> lah <mandarin>你想一想:ni xiang yi xiang</mandarin> how how is that, the okay the the last I know lah <mandarin>我可以:wo ke yi</mandarin> fetch uh <mandarin>七十五块:qi shi wu kuai</mandarin> per hour for <mandarin>一个中四的:yi ge zhong si de</mandarin> english


ya so, ya so <mandarin>那时我有算:na shi wo you suan</mandarin> ah <mandarin>就是一个:jiu shi yi ge</mandarin> student <mandarin>两小时:liang xiao shi</mandarin> it's a hundred and fifty dollars mah, a week which means that a month right four four weeks <mandarin>来讲的话啦:lai jiang de hua la</mandarin> I will earn six hundred from one person if I have ten kids ah it means that I'm working twenty hours a week for six thousand dollars


that, that's a lot right, yes


ya so hundred means one student okay err, one month is eight hundred dollars ya lor you have ten you have eight thousand dollars lah, for four weeks ah


, but it's not because I'm passionate or what lah it's just that I see, that !hey! it's potentially a lot of money, it's intense right it's crazy leh the amount of money !hais! and it goes tax free ah tax free if you don't declare you don't get taxed


correct what it's self employed, ,


, it's crazy lah


, , , ya <mandarin>当然:dang ran</mandarin> at at the same time marketing <mandarin>赚很少:zhuan hen shao</mandarin> lah <mandarin>我之前是在:wo zhi qian shi zai</mandarin> marketing ah <mandarin>我知道:wo zhi dao</mandarin> <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> starting starting pay uh as a as a graduate right uh from a local U


it was two thousand five before CPF, two thousand five yes and I took the job ah,


it's too broad already yes, yes exactly


so no lah I don't think, but but actually if you think about it right back then I was in a small company right the other time err I did think about it lah that that company the company is still existing ah so even though each of us right employee are paid like so little


the boss actually earns a lot, yes the ya the the the clients that she acquires right she will pass it to us to service mah, so what is the role actually


I thought about it lah but then that that there's no way ah <mandarin>因为我的:yin wei wo de</mandarin> husband <mandarin>有问过我:you wen guo wo</mandarin> like why not I consider you know set up <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> rival firm, err I thought about it I think no lah no lah I


I'm not even interested in it it's, it's so boring, , but maybe one day I will be giving tuition lah, because right now as I'm verbalising it right !wah! it really sounds like good money eh if anything like if anything goes wrong I can fall back on this


, , , but what, but what I don't like about tuition have you given tuition before


ya I, , I I I really hate giving tuition I really hate teaching somebody, firstly is the is the expectations on you like you are supposed to make magic happen


and then, there is no off day there is no excuse to fall sick you understand what I mean, ya they expect you ah rain or shine okay you are supposed to be there at a certain time


so this is the thing lor, that I really don't like lah like, they pay you but in exchange for, this, time in your life every single week


ya, but that's a very big con ah mah to to me lah I I've seen err my teacher friends right after they quit teaching they actually uh give tuition so I mean the money is good for sure but you still see them complaining one like money cannot buy happiness


they still yes they they will still complain like !hais! they have to go give tuition because you know it was previously agreed upon already so it's a full year of commitment you cannot you cannot like just you know cancel it like this


yep, yes , okay so this this tuition thing is what they oh but but there's a


I I I believe we have heard you have heard of the rich dad poor dad you know that that story had did you, the one where ya where where he trained his son like you know with a dollar with a dollar value and


ya basically in conclusion he wanted the son to learn that no amount of money should be able to buy your time, did you, ya so I I really felt that was very inspiring leh like what what is the purpose of life right if you are just exchanging time for money


have you thought like this before, , but actually <mandarin>我我们的:wo wo men de</mandarin> industry allows women uh uh it it allows us to do it lah <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> you know live life in this manner


ya, ya, ya


I mean if you are ready to like <mandarin>动一下头脑我可以:dong yi xia tou nao wo ke yi</mandarin> introduce to <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> recently right what my husband shared with me ah and I really think everyone should like listen to it and try thinking about it, okay so are you ready


okay so basically right it's about free will you know what's free will, okay free will is having the choice right to do anything, okay so right if you can go back in time right, okay and if you will take another action


okay so like for example okay right now we are doing this phone call right if going back if we go back in time will you take will you still do this phone call


okay you will so this indicates that there was no free will in this action, okay because because free will means that right if you can go back in time you can take another action like you will take another course of action


but, yes but that being said right does it mean that right we all have no free will like for example, err before you step out of the house you choose err you chose to wear this pair of shoes if given another chance will you choose another pair of shoes to wear not likely right because that pair of shoes actually suit what you are wearing today right


so does it mean that all of our actions right that we take have no free will you understand, ya so over this right we spend like two three hours talking about it that's why I said okay I would


I wanted to grab him to do this conversation with me since we are always having this kind of like open ended conversation that has no solution right might as well I put it to better use right


why he didn't no lah he just in his words ah in his words he said that if I force him to do this recording he's gonna repeat that err you know he's paid more per hour, that he should be paid more per hour he shouldn't be paid this amount to be doing this


so ya, yes


maybe next time I secretly record lah , I just set it up for him and make him just talk, ya I know but you think about it ah that that free will no free will thing isn't it very scary that we all have no free will


it means that everything you do in life right is already predetermined is already written down on a note like you will do it, ya I think that's the scary part


then from here right we actually discuss about the possibility of god, or are we just like you know err, err simulators ah are we just like a AIs artificial intelligence that you know are being controlled by somebody


since you know like you know like like computers for one, you know you they are running on scripts what so they are running on the the commands that you give, so we as humans right even though we have a brain right the things that we do the decisions that we make


they are already, quite fixed meaning we have no free will so are we just like in a in a, simulator, (uh huh)


surrogate, ya it sounds very familiar leh, what is the movie about


okay, ah, okay


, it sounds familiar leh I may have watched it but I cannot remember, what


!wah!, okay I think I will catch the movie later like after this, ya


I mean you are younger than me lah cannot be how how long can it be correct, yes


okay I will go and find it I like this kind of shows, , okay can can can, I'm going to watch it later


okay, <mandarin>不错看:bu cuo kan</mandarin> , ,


, okay


!wah!, still, if if the concept is new I think <mandarin>可以是可以:ke yi shi ke yi</mandarin> survive like years and years, okay I'm going to watch it later


sounds good, , ya <mandarin>讲到这个:jiang dao zhe ge</mandarin> netflix !wah! <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> ah from the morning hor till night ah <mandarin>都在看它:dou zai kan ta</mandarin> eh <mandarin>很夸张:hen kua zhang</mandarin> leh


!wah!, !hais! <mandarin>我已经:wo yi jing</mandarin> embark on it lah so I have no choice ah so I'm just catching it as it comes up so sad


I think it's good leh but then I I heard that it's uh it's not well received in korea at all but I don't understand why, ya did did you watch <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> uh #lee min ho# <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> err the king eternal monarch


but what do you think about <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> movie as in <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> drama


but I think <mandarin>那个它的那个:na ge ta de na ge</mandarin> ending right where you know err <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> round up <mandarin>那整个:na zheng ge</mandarin> story I think it was round up so well, like you were able to see the different dimensions and everything <mandarin>我有一点:wo you yi dian</mandarin> impressed lah like it wasn't very two D like it wasn't so expected to the <mandarin>到那里那个:dao na li na ge</mandarin> ending <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> part where <mandarin>他他:ta ta</mandarin> went back in time right you know to uh try to save his young young self


ya that moment I really thought !wah!, the writer was able to you know draw a full circle eh I was like there was a #me gusta# feeling I felt so good watching it, so that was that was the one thing


, so <mandarin>你你喜欢的那种:ni ni xi huan de na zhong</mandarin> !wow! <mandarin>是什么那种:shi shen me na zhong</mandarin> romance ah


[orh] eh hang on that that drama I watched I'm still at the second episode I cannot continue eh you know, can you tell me why


why is it nice I I watched after the first episode I'm like so bored of it right so the second one I think I only watched ten minutes then I give up the whole drama


okay, and then I don't think so but you can spoil me


, okay, , okay, yes yes it's very scary you know


possessed him


, oh that, there's, there's a reason why the grim reaper <mandarin>上他的身:shang ta de shen</mandarin> there's a reason <mandarin>为什么他死掉:wei shen me ta si diao</mandarin> there's a reason they are all linked lah to that girl also


!hais! should I give it another chance


okay, oh okay okay so <mandarin>有缘的:you yuan de</mandarin> lah there's still fate and everything, !huh! really or not [orh]


, okay, what, okay <mandarin>你知道我我我这段时间:ni zhi dao wo wo wo zhe duan shi jian</mandarin> ah I was so bored right I went to went back to the old dramas I went to watch the when the camellia blooms


how, yes so, , I I was also worried that it will be very romantic right but then it's not leh it's more of the mother and the son


so she's a single mother and she uh you know she's just protective of a son lah and then, I don't know ah I quite like it like they really showed a very strong female character I think nowadays you know I went to google dramas with strong female lead like I'm very sick of all those love love one ah very sickening


ya so I think I think not bad but it can be slower lah it is if it's a little slower the story line is not as strong, ya but but for easy watching for time passing right it's okay but I ya the best part is I sat through the whole twenty episodes in one sitting lah so it's very Shiok


ah, okay !wah! !wah! I cannot I sorry I like the I like the romance one the one that the ones that make my heart flutter , eh I tell you I I really have a my body would react to <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> dramas <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> leh like if I go to sleep hor on a normal day right I won't have dreams but when I watch dramas with err you know the the the romantic kind ah


when I sleep right I will have happy dreams one leh it's very weird, yes I really have happy dreams it's very weird like I'll wake up feeling happy I'll go to sleep feeling happy, it's it's a very weird thing


[orh],


ya, eh hang, ah <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> and then you went back to the chinese one


, , okay


, okay okay, , ,


, then the other time did you watch <mandarin>延禧:yan xi</mandarin> ah, how can you watch halfway it's so nice !wah! I will repeat the seventy over episodes I tell you


what


ah, eh but did you know <mandarin>延禧:yan xi</mandarin> is a true story, yes as in there is the <mandarin>皇上:huang shang</mandarin> the <mandarin>皇上:huang shang</mandarin> is for for for sure mah <mandarin>乾隆王:qian long wang</mandarin> mah

ya the <mandarin>皇帝的女人:huang di de nv ren</mandarin> so it's a real story, err it's more of like you know time to time again I will get very interested I will be very interested in like china history so you know I will watch like small snippets of them introducing uh you know different kings and all that so they did mention like this <mandarin>延禧:yan xi</mandarin> right there's you know the <mandarin>凌贵妃:ling gui fei</mandarin> and everything these are real characters as in they don't look like this lah but it's real like they will uh that there there was also mention of the the palace that the <mandarin>凌贵凌贵妃:ling gui ling gui fei</mandarin> stays in so these are all like from real historical

I don't know eh is it's legit a lot of money he he really earn a lot money from this drama cause, I mean they don't go by they don't go by like the drama lah but it's because of, his net worth lah he was already very popular what, then this drama make him even more famous so each


episode right he earned a lot of money sia one six eight zero zero zero then my friend count times sixteen !wah! he earn like million eh from this whole damn drama, really earn a lot of money, ya sia oh my god but I think !wah!

next week, I was thinking <mandarin>就是好像买那个:jiu shi hao xiang mai na ge</mandarin> like <mandarin>因为是好像一个:yin wei shi hao xiang yi ge</mandarin> study care package mah like we just buy her, a box from Daiso then <mandarin>里面放:li mian fang</mandarin> like those kind of <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> goodies ah or snacks lor like <mandarin>她她喜欢吃什么:ta ta xi huan chi shen me</mandarin> then just put inside lor like snacks then


like <mandarin>小:xiao</mandarin> like <mandarin>零食:ling shi</mandarin> ah, then maybe stationeries highlighter <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> I know <mandarin>她喜欢用:ta xi huan yong</mandarin> highlighter and like those artsy stuff maybe we can put Washi tape also I don't know like those kind of stuff


encouragement <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> letter <mandarin>给她:gei ta</mandarin> lor then ya lor I think that's about it, ya just just a simple one yup we drop it off at the house, but !wah! JC <mandarin>真的很快:zhen de hen kuai</mandarin> eh JC, to be honest


ya and honestly right you know that day <mandarin>我我在跟我朋友讲话:wo wo zai gen wo peng you jiang hua</mandarin> lah then like


I don't know lah borderline pass or something actually I not very sure but like <mandarin>她讲:ta jiang</mandarin> even though <mandarin>她的:ta de</mandarin> rank point borderline only right then <mandarin>她:ta</mandarin> apply to like the uni's right <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> top three uni's all accepted her leh like NTU NUS and SMU leh


so it's like how to say ah like like make make us think that like how say poly right <mandarin>你真的要:ni zhen de yao</mandarin> like, okay lah <mandarin>用功是用功:yong gong shi yong gong</mandarin> lah but <mandarin>如果你没有考好:ru guo ni mei you kao hao</mandarin> right <mandarin>还是可以进还是可以进:hai shi ke yi jin hai shi ke yi jin</mandarin> uni <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> but for poly <mandarin>如果你真的没有考好:ru guo ni zhen de mei you kao hao</mandarin> right <mandarin>就是很难:jiu shi hen nan</mandarin> lor and somehow <mandarin>考好:kao hao</mandarin> like <mandarin>不够:bu gou</mandarin> leh like you need to <mandarin>考考到:kao kao dao</mandarin> like the top


top ten percent kind to go inside you uni


so !wah! stress


, , uh, but is it like better than the previous sem when we are we all in school or like around the same or like what


(uh huh), oh wait two credit means pass and fail ah


wait is WISP two credits, so is a pass or fail module, legit


oh my god, oh but I try so hard for the assignment leh I remember the first assignment I got C then I'm like oh my god why what the hell like what happened then I try so hard for the second assignment then got a but in the end is a pass or fail ah module


, then then is like how, how how they count that one


oh, [orh] so will bring down


oh, ya honestly damn different like poly damn hard like very hard for you to gauge like how well will you do to be honest


cause it really depends


but then especially <mandarin>现在是:xian zai shi</mandarin> COVID then poly <mandarin>就是没有没有:jiu shi mei you mei you</mandarin> exam lah <mandarin>没有那个:mei you na ge</mandarin> real life paper exam so like most of the grades <mandarin>就是靠那个:jiu shi kao na ge</mandarin> individual assignment and group projects <mandarin>所以如果那个没有做好:suo yi ru guo na ge mei you zuo hao</mandarin> right <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> gone <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> sia <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> whole module <mandarin>就是不能做好:jiu shi bu neng zuo hao</mandarin> lah <mandarin>如果:ru guo</mandarin> individual <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> group never do well


oh ya my one is last year is mainly like that ya <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> exam paper ah <mandarin>就是有一个很大的:jiu shi you yi ge hen da de</mandarin> weightage lah but now different lah cause COVID


oh really ah, oh


!wah! that's very big eh oh my god that's very big weightage for group project


I understand, ya


, ya sia I honestly feel like !wah! <mandarin>真的很难:zhen de hen nan</mandarin> leh <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> like cause like my year one GPA not say very good hor then then I was calculating <mandarin>如果:ru guo</mandarin> like <mandarin>真的要进:zhen de yao jin</mandarin> uni right my year two and year three GPA must like legit like three point eight three point nine eh like constant eh !wah!


I don't know what like what kind of uni I can cause I think my friend that time my friend also got calculate lah like if you want to go like the top three uni's in singapore then, err his remaining GPA also must be like very high in order to like secure a place there


, which is quite hard lah because year two and year three is just gonna get harder, right oh, uh


oh they got allocate one ah like how many slots they give JC many slots they give poly


!huh! for poly people ah, it's like mix


oh my god, confirm, ya


like cannot go a lot of different courses is it, really, that like like what which is what


[orh] like <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> teachers <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> pathway lah is it, to be a teacher kind but like your <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> early childhood right you all you all got little bit of psychology also what right


[orh] ya ya ya


oh like go more ah [orh], oh


!wah! then like, limited like limit your choice even more because they merge this thing, !wah!, ya sia so hard


ya I guess I mean, for me right if I if I I mean I think I same as you like I will try to go where wherever possible lah like if I really cannot <mandarin>进那个:jin na ge</mandarin> top three then I will try other alternative lah like SIM or something like the other other schools lor


(mmhmm), (uh huh), SMU people


oh, ya cause SMU famous for business ya


but will you try another like different course or not ah, like not related to your one, [orh] but different course means study longer is it is it is it something like this


(hmm), again, true true okay I get you, ya


ya I get you, experience, you already got experience now


, true


!wah! but then now then now you think of is like, then like now what you studying for is like more of like a experience kind, like like


oh legit,


experience <mandarin>过:guo</mandarin> ah, !wow!


ya cause you all in the course but !wah!, ya sia I think everyone also like this lor like in your course like from the from like a third person perspective like I also won't know like example <mandarin>你没有跟我讲:ni mei you gen wo jiang</mandarin> right then I also won't know like your course like do so many things cause like on the surface and from what I see from the outside it's like like I thought your course like quite okay like you know not very tough just learn about this and like


take care of children and stuff, but ya lor


!wah!, ya sia and some more like, like even if really become like a teacher like in in preschool like the pay also not very high right, ya so not very worth it ya


like progress from that, career something like that is it [orh]


true


, ya, ya sia <mandarin>头痛:tou tong</mandarin> sia oh my god ya to run like !wah!


whole day cause need take care of them after end class wait for the parents come


!wah! ya sia,


!wah!, !wah! means need come back to work on saturday also !wah!, like Sian bro !wah!, ya <mandarin>很累:hen lei</mandarin> then somemore everyday just hear children screaming running !wah!


I think I will <mandarin>爆炸:bao zha</mandarin> sia like that hor I cannot I cannot legit cannot !wah!, oh like homework


, ya you must like physically come up with something storyline or like a prop for them to learn


ya, , ya I remember you got you got do before for your own like presentation ya


true, ya sia ever since come poly is like, I don't know just stressful and


I also don't, , ya honestly like PFP ya is is a bit different lah ya can tell it's a bit different from like the like the way we


, , ya is just learning is it like last year she just learn what she learn in secondary school just a bit more only like is still like a not a very poly kind of way only this year then she experience


, ya ya I know right ya last time she always sleep early wake early but now it's very hard lah and some more like because now is all projects based mah so then some more right like for me ah like my projects are all very close together like the submission deadline are all quite tightly packed so like one after another have to keep doing and doing so no choice certain days we need to do until like very late at night that's why stressful lah also cannot really produce good quality work if we rush but sometimes is really no choice like we need to rush if not we cannot meet deadline


ya and some more our teacher like never really check one lah like to be honest like certain things like we ask our teacher like example <mandarin>我们有:wo men you</mandarin> like <mandarin>东西我们不知道:dong xi wo men bu zhi dao</mandarin> then we ask teacher then we ask teacher <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> question but right the teacher <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> like <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> answer <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> question <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> like I don't know lah he he just implying that we should like figure it out ourselves you know <mandarin>他好像他:ta hao xiang ta</mandarin> like <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> help <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> lah then like !huh! in the end we also need to like find out how to do ourselves I also don't know like <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> teacher <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> like <mandarin>没有用的:mei you yong de</mandarin>


ya and like they don't know what's going on one leh how to say ah like they they don't know like some some teacher right they they they don't even know like


like example <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> how say ah <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> submission <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> place like cannot cannot work or like sometime the teacher don't even know submission deadline change ya you know that kind of thing I don't know like they all don't know


ya got got one teacher !wah! he he legit like one blur Sotong he like want to retire right I don't know why he don't want to retire before our sem, then he <mandarin>偏偏:pian pian</mandarin> want to retire after our sem !wah! that teacher ah really is damn anal eh so right he is like right those kind that a bit a bit only also will nitpick so like example during class tutorial lesson right then like err <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> share answers ah with the other classmates so each group will present then he will always ask the other group for feedback then <mandarin>他讲:ta jiang</mandarin> right like


clear correct and uh concise, like you must say <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> three C S


if not ya I don't know he's damn anal, I swear, ya I think his one worse eh some more right you know like err you all I don't know whether you all have but like for us like every time after we submitted like a group project like a report right then we need do slides presentation one like for tutorial class then right


his standard for, a good presentation for each group right is that right we cannot <mandarin>一个人:yi ge ren</mandarin> share <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> screen ah you must like every time <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> present right then <mandarin>你要换那个:ni yao huan na ge</mandarin> screen like <mandarin>换那个人:huan na ge ren</mandarin> to share the screen so even in within one group right we need to switch the screen five different times because of what he said then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> slides right also must be


colourful lah graphic lah !wah! <mandarin>很他真是的很多要求:hen ta zhen shi de hen duo yao qiu</mandarin> eh I remember that day right because we need to err practice the group presentation !wah! practice until like four AM the day before !wah!, hor bro he's damn ya because like we only do


okay lah ya, we can only practice the night before mah when err we completed our Google slides already then after completed we still need to, time ourself cause you know got got limit one ah got err fifty minutes, then like we need time ourself we need write script then we need to practice the changing of screen cause sometimes the change screen quite you know technical stuff lah like very hang then like ya


!wah! I swear that teacher is damn !wah! I cannot lah <mandarin>我不要看到他在学校:wo bu yao kan dao ta zai xue xiao</mandarin> also, ya right like one person sharing is like way easier what it's like he just want to makes life make life difficult for all of us eh I swear ya


ya usually most most of my teacher also like that one only he like I don't know why he so anal like he say must everyone take turns to share and then some more like everytime after you switch to another presenter right you must like have a blank slide in your presentation so like teacher know that oh you are switching to another person I don't know lah


!wah! but glad that module is over okay no I still have one more exam but whatever that's in september, september ya got one exam in, september third because technically right now is actually just study break lah it's not actually holiday yet


so, I got one exam lor, then only after that the exam then is <mandarin>真正的:zhen zheng de</mandarin> holiday but to me now I also like treat it like holiday already lah, cause only got one exam left, then ya


, oh okay that that's like what one another of my teacher also


oh so he like die die want everyone to sign attendance first before, like officially start lesson lah something like that

about racist then like we like our classmates talk about it lor I also don't know how she err get to that part but it's like she asked our classmate to share experiences whether they have with racism and like what are their opinions about racism of singapore then like sometimes like <mandarin>一个人一个:yi ge ren yi ge</mandarin> classmate <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> then another classmate like like don't agree with his or her opinion then <mandarin>他们讲:ta men jiang</mandarin> lor then I just listen lah I mean <mandarin>因为我的:yin wei wo de</mandarin> WISP class <mandarin>很早:hen zao</mandarin> start at err is nine AM on thursday then always damn tired so I will just lie on bed and listen


ya, , my WISP teacher is okay not bad , ya some can tell some people legit like some lecturer is like


ya how ya honestly, they they make it seem like !wah! so easy become lecturer <mandarin>这样他们都不用教教书:zhe yang ta men dou bu yong jiao jiao shu</mandarin> then err <mandarin>可以拿钱:ke yi na qian</mandarin> then like !wah! <mandarin>很容易:hen rong yi</mandarin> ah I also want like that lmao


ya lecturer earn a lot leh ya I know lecturer earn a lot bro like oh my god earn more than those JC teachers leh, (mmhmm)


!wah!, all they do is <mandarin>真的是教书:zhen de shi jiao shu</mandarin> eh like <mandarin>他们没没有管:ta men mei mei you guan</mandarin> like <mandarin>其他的:qi ta de</mandarin> events like you know how JC teacher they have to <mandarin>管:guan</mandarin> JC events school events


other other <mandarin>东西他们真的是没有管:dong xi ta men zhen de shi mei you guan</mandarin> at all sia so it's like all they do is teach eh then they can't even teach properly !walao! eh


I know right, ya I also hate it, same same


, ya I guess like poly really got very extreme different kind of lecturers, I'm just like sometime we Suay lor like certain module <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> like <mandarin>跟一个:gen yi ge</mandarin> like <mandarin>不好的:bu hao de</mandarin> lecturer


really ah a lot of teacher not not very good ah, my one, okay lah I got okay I'm not okay


[orh] so like usually she just say no tutorial lesson is it something like that, oh, oh


!huh!


!wah! so many like hundred twenty slides, Siao that's a lot leh


Siao that's like too much already tho hundred twenty plus slides, is insane,


[orh] same same same I also got some ya my one also like that


, ya certain modules <mandarin>真的是:zhen de shi</mandarin> never learn anything at all then sometimes certain module is like I don't know why I learning this, that kind of feeling I also don't know


BCL is, I got learn ah BCL, never leh, [orh] ya I got learn business law


but I don't know leh but is the way I mean our module is call B law lah like she call it BCL I not sure whether is it the same content, but I think still different !aiya! but I don't know lah poly just very draining even though we are we like never go school but like I still damn draining at home !wah! I can't imagine if we go school eh that's like even worse


same, same I swear to god because that day I got exam err last thursday I got one of my modules exam !wah!, the moment I step out I was like !huh! I don't know how everyday I come school like this eh !wah! that one day I come school was like


!wah! <mandarin>很麻烦:hen ma fan</mandarin> ah and like !wah! I just don't like lah like, like now already at home already like


ya I don't know how I do it you know like now now like I I don't even wanna go back school eh like ah Sian I don't know, but I think sem two we will go back already right


oh really ah, ah,


ya honestly poly <mandarin>是很多人:shi hen duo ren</mandarin> but like like if you think of it right is really


is very hard what how to say cause like if you see ah <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> like <mandarin>在公共场所:zai gong gong chang suo</mandarin> like public places lah then like example Jem west gate also a lot of people what honestly also damn crowded during the weekend then is like quite the same like how say same risk


and I don't know but honestly I don't want it open lah but then, I also don't want pay money lah cause every every month need pay so much money Siao, never even use ya lor never even use the facilities so I don't know


ya, like no we got physical lectures


same, same I feel like lectures, , (hmm) lectures is can <mandarin>上网:shang wang</mandarin> I think certain of my modules right <mandarin>真的是:zhen de shi</mandarin> can just <mandarin>上网:shang wang</mandarin> one all the way one lah but certain modules need to go back lah I feel


for my course don't have but for other course have like , ITB like international trade and business they got this


err module like it's like coding then coding very hard to do on, own laptop one cause need the teacher guidance to see what where you actually gone wrong in your own laptop so that one they got go back school every week, ya


ya and they say coding is damn hard I damn scared I hopefully don't I don't have it next sem because I know coding is damn hard cause I hate it, ya


ah, I mean I I do DSA cannot already like excel sheet that one I also cannot already don't ask me do coding ah coding !wah! cannot ya it's not my thing !huh!


oh, ya


ya I can see them they like struggling so much cause I mean even the smart students say coding damn hard lah so I confirm will die, ya hopefully I don't know, that's why like some module <mandarin>真的是:zhen de shi</mandarin> I don't know why need to learn


ya sia, !hais!, !hais! go back secondary school better ya grow old right, all you do is just look back cause I don't know


I don't know whether you got see you got see this, you know #lee hi# right, did you see this video by #lee hi# and like a bunch of like kids did you see, it's like this video right it's like she and like a few other girls and then the girls are of different ages so there's like a very young one like


probably like five six then after that next one is like, like fourteen fifteen then another one is like err eighteen nineteen so like she interview each of them then got one question is like they ask what is your dream then right like


you can see lah from their answers like as they grow older like their dreams get more simpler like the youngest one I think she like dream of like wanting to be like a holly wood actor or something then the oldest one <mandarin>很像:hen xiang</mandarin> #lee hi# is either the oldest one or #lee hi# answered that their dream is just to go to sleep feeling happy something like this so it's like I don't know that video actually quite quite quite strong like quite powerful the meaning ah


ya I think, you you you should watch that video it's quite like can you can see as people progresses like more feelings hit them then like their dreams get simpler lah because their lives get tougher then like ya


ya honestly I never ya ya eh really eh you know nowadays right I <mandarin>睡觉:shui jiao</mandarin> right is like, I don't know leh like I don't know lah I got tell my friends ah like when I <mandarin>睡觉:shui jiao</mandarin> sometime like I don't feel at ease like my my heart right it's just like, like <mandarin>很多很多东西在想:hen duo hen duo dong xi zai xiang</mandarin> like in my brain like a lot of things then sometime quite hard to sleep or it's like I sleep but like ya lah like got a lot of things inside my brain so I can't really sleep very well


oh I dream a eh same eh ya ya ya eh same really, ah


I don't cry , ,


oh my god okay I never dream of <mandarin>我要生孩子:wo yao sheng hai zi</mandarin> , , oh my god


ya, same same same like, but I mean I don't like this feeling leh like ya lah and like as you say lor like nowadays really when I go to sleep right like, you cannot sleep well then I wake up it's not I feel like !wah! refreshed very nice that kind of feeling it's like


I very long never had that feeling already then I keep wondering is like I don't know what is like I I insomnia or what I don't know why like like certain days nowadays I I really cannot sleep early even though I want to like nowadays I sleep three four but like sometimes I force myself okay twelve AM I try to sleep but I won't sleep until three four cause like is either I have a lot of things on my mind or like just I just cannot sleep


then like doesn't feel good good lah but I also don't know why ah but ya, good like a good sleep


ya same like honestly say real I never like very long never had this feeling like, oh I wake up then like I feel excited looking forward, to the day like I very long never feel like that already, ya honestly


ya same same honestly same ya like even before COVID right I still can like <mandarin>睡起床:shui qi chuang</mandarin> and do a lot of thing but I don't know why suddenly after like circuit breaker then like I feel like


I also don't know like just don't don't feel the energy anymore every day it's just, like that lor ya suddenly,


, I will be happy, ah that kind of feeling yes then after that that feeling after you wake up it's like damn Shiok it's like !wah! honestly speaking


ya, oh really ah,


ya, !wow! eh that's very early actually ya, !huh!


oh like two PM like back back in those days is it


but it's like even though I sleep quite a lot like I don't feel the feeling of like, I wake up then like damn Shiok I feel very nice I like wake up feeling quite Sian and grumpy, and still kind of tired I don't know why, !aiya!


ya actually I also don't mind I I saw I recently saw Tik tok people go staycation I also like I also want, I don't mind, I think honestly I need it like honestly, don't know eh, ya


everything here ya ya ya ya ya I feel like I I need like, to get away from like all these, normal things that I do


ya it's like , ya like even now is like social media also like a bit like I don't know like kind of affecting also like I don't really use, the social media anymore cause, I also don't know like like don't feel good using it, then makes me feel like !wah! like nothing lor ya eh I don't mind eh honestly go staycation


during our holidays, ya, I honestly don't mind like to be honest I just need like, very rest very chill ya just like get away from my normal,


ya okay, ya don't mind anyway it's just like a short get way better better than nothing honestly ya, yes yes


ya oh my god ya actually ya what what you say is damn true now now my bedroom is like everything I do here so like it doesn't feel like oh it's very happy to lie down on my bed and rest, like I don't have that feeling you know how back in those days like, [orh] like <mandarin>你一你一整天出去:ni yi ni yi zheng tian chu qu</mandarin> then <mandarin>一整天:yi zheng tian</mandarin> like <mandarin>做很多事:zuo hen duo shi</mandarin> ah like <mandarin>功课:gong ke</mandarin> presentation then when you come back


you shower then you lie down on bed like !wah! damn Shiok then you just lie down on your like bedsheet !wah!, that feeling very Shiok ah but nowadays, don't really get that feeling anymore


yes yes, yes, ya but ya, oh my god ya eh okay I didn't know like, other other people also feel like this cause legit I feel like this nowadays


ya yes I come my bedroom <mandarin>就是要做:jiu shi yao zuo</mandarin> all the work I open my laptop my my laptop is on the table so I need to do work on my laptop


!hais!, !hais!, ya oh my god eh honestly ya


ya, really is that the group project the group mate


what do you mean, err no not all, some are some quite open ya it depends on who the guy is I guess if the guy is the generally a very low key person like doesn't use social media often then


ya I guess you'll be quite low key about his like relationship life too


!huh! why, oh !huh! but like in front of <mandarin>朋友:peng you</mandarin> also don't want to know


ya sia, !huh! but like we already at this age is like quite common to like date what like


ya you know if if I hear this right it makes me feel like, she he like don't want people to know about nad lah then like, not not proud of like the relationship that he's gonna have something like that


okay


ya, , I'm thinking of like going back to my <mandarin>以前的那个:yi qian de na ge</mandarin> cafe to do


ya because, but that time <mandarin>我回去:wo hui qu</mandarin> right <mandarin>我跟:wo gen</mandarin> nad <mandarin>回去:hui qu</mandarin> then we return uniform, oh if you if you want to come back and work again <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> we will hire you again then I just !wow! okay lor


ya, I think, but I think I think hor nad different <mandarin>因为她有:yin wei ta you</mandarin> like Kena because she know like very pretty right then <mandarin>很多人:hen duo ren</mandarin> like to go and Kajiao her like joke around with her like all the chefs at the back all the


ya, then she don't like lah, ya then honestly <mandarin>没有人没有人找我的:mei you ren mei you ren zhao wo de</mandarin> lah so I just do my oh shit lor then like


can lor, eight for weekday, then nine for weekend


ya, I think, nad <mandarin>不要:bu yao</mandarin> though I think she definitely don't want lah but


ya that's what I thought also cause that time <mandarin>我告诉她:wo gao su ta</mandarin> you and me looking for job right, then she say err she also want then I ask her then your mother <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> shop leh <mandarin>为什么不要去:wei shen me bu yao qu</mandarin> cause the mother also, want her to work there what but she say mother shop can like come and go one so she <mandarin>不管:bu guan</mandarin> lor she also want to go outside and find job


ya, ah


(uh huh), west west coast road ah, I think is near where I stay last last time sia I think it's quite near, ya ya


but that one quite far for us lah I think, I think not ya,


ya, okay lor cause now, right


oh my god ya, eh you reading you reading book now what book reading, ya


oh ya


ya, I quite ya I read that, eh <mandarin>两年前:liang nian qian</mandarin> ah during like O level <mandarin>那那个:na na ge</mandarin> period


then, I <mandarin>每天:mei tian</mandarin> like go library <mandarin>坐在那边看那个书:zuo zai na bian kan na ge shu</mandarin> lor, but it's like not bad right


, but, the primary six is the the fault in our stars era is it, I feel like


is it, , ya ya ya, I remember <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> like last time <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> obsessed with that book you know I don't know ya


ya, then ya then, ya the movie not very nice I don't like, movies


they try they like try lah to adapt but then adapt <mandarin>到好像不好这样:dao hao xiang bu hao zhe yang</mandarin> lor then, ya ya, that's why that's why


but slow, ah <mandarin>看完了:kan wan le</mandarin> !wah! damn good, okay I think quite I like ya it's quite okay


is is the is it the rumour on Tik tok, oh oh my, cousin


dating <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> cousin ah, but I think if they <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> dated before right they won't have this like, chemistry between them


ya right <mandarin>他们很可爱:ta men hen ke ai</mandarin> leh together, then, they always like fooling around lah laughing here there


then I think hor if <mandarin>你有:ni you</mandarin> date before <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> right, the ya, ya, especially if you are dating the cousin again that is


yup, what


oh, oh my god


especially, I think after he come out from military ya, then <mandarin>他很他的:ta hen ta de</mandarin> birth hor is like shoot all the way up


ah,


ya I think he very <mandarin>幸运:xing yun</mandarin> lah not a lot of people, not a lot of people got this chance like that lor


oh ya, I was about to watch save me


it's nice, cause it's on my Netflix to watch list but I just haven't watch it yet


oh, oh my god #woo do hwan# oh my god he is


oh oh, !wah!, ya


ya ya, oh ya with the is it #bae doona# inside I think it's #bae doona# right the short hair one


, , ya gory is good


very gory <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> ah, oh my god oh my god okay I I will go and


ya, but I thought she having her <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> what's that the prelim soon is it


then


this week


, ya, like those


, ah okay lor


can lor can lor then we drop it off, cute leh, ya <mandarin>已经要完了:yi jing yao wan le</mandarin> sia


oh my god <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> ah


ya that's what I <mandarin>觉得:jue de</mandarin> also you know I feel like, like no matter how much you do right, you will still never be like


good enough you know that kind of feeling,


I ya I think it's also very difficult for us lor, like, then, it's like you never


like class also like very hard to listen to, that kind of thing , and then I, like cause now we get back our results through mail right so you somehow get a gauge, of like your first like term's result so what <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> like, try try lor try try <mandarin>一下:yi xia</mandarin> then I go and calculate my GPA for this


sem hor !aiyo!,


so I think right <mandarin>两个都是:liang ge dou shi</mandarin> pass and fail mods, usually for <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> course right two credits means pass and fail only cause


I have a feeling is a pass and fail mod pass or fail module but, but <mandarin>他们好像没有:ta men hao xiang mei you</mandarin> specify to us so I also not very sure


oh my


cause you know how to calculate the GPA right they


but then your, ya let's say, okay let's say <mandarin>我现这个:wo xian zhe ge</mandarin> semester <mandarin>我有:wo you</mandarin> six modules then four modules <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> four credits then okay let's say I everything <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> B plus hor then is three point five GPA like that right so it's like three point five GPA times four credits then times four lah like eh ya then times four then we add up two credits times zero because no GPA what for pass and fail


that kind of thing then like the total of all the GPA that I calculated right, divide by the number of credits in total


then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> GPA <mandarin>就很:jiu hen</mandarin> ya that's why <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> GPA <mandarin>会很低:hui hen di</mandarin> lor, yup, quite complicated hor in poly like usually


ya, well


but because <mandarin>你是不一样:ni shi bu yi yang</mandarin> right like last year like year one yours is <mandarin>很多那种:hen duo na zhong</mandarin> small small <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> then you got exam, then after that total right


no because from last year <mandarin>开始:kai shi</mandarin> right <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> module hor <mandarin>已经就是那种:yi jing jiu shi na zhong</mandarin> individual group project, eh individual project then group project together ya, fifty percent one project then another project forty per cent than class participation like ten percent then <mandarin>一起加起来这种:yi qi jia qi lai zhe zhong</mandarin> like that


that's that's why like <mandarin>会很:hui hen</mandarin> stressful <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> if you like screw up one, then it's very difficult to pull up the other one, that kind of thing ya


then even if <mandarin>你做到很好:ni zuo dao hen hao</mandarin> right, like your entire let's say you really got a lot of ace right, but then <mandarin>你也是有:ni ye shi you</mandarin> like <mandarin>两个:liang ge</mandarin> B right they will still drag your GPA down quite bad so I think poly <mandarin>真的是很:zhen de shi hen</mandarin> stressful then I cause both you and me planning to go uni right


so we are both trying like trying very hard lah but


, three point eight ah


(hmm), ya ya I agree then but then the uni you know the number of slots they open for <mandarin>我们这种:wo men zhe zhong</mandarin> poly students right also not very high like


let's ya I think, you can go and search up on Google hor poly <mandarin>的那种:de na zhong</mandarin> IGP ah I think it's called IGP I'm not very sure but if you go and search right then err you can see like NTU NUS <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> right let's say NTU you want to go education


they only have like forty slots, like forty, I think it's not even poly people leh I think it's like the entirety, like mix JC and poly then, of course they will priority <mandarin>去那个:qu na ge</mandarin> JC students right because they got no other


ya they got no that's their last sort of education step to go what, ya, then I realised <mandarin>我的那个:wo de na ge</mandarin> diploma also very, like <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> restricted, because


I think I can only go one, which, ya which is the, the NTU NIE education one,


, like into psychology cause I remember my cause <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> course <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> merged <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> right


but ya, before the merge right they have like CPE like child psychology and early education I think <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> diploma can go quite a bit


like a ya, ya


but, wherever I see how lor ya but if


I think SIM SMU these kind still okay <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> they I think the hiring rate from these schools quite high, I heard lah I'm not sure where <mandarin>我也我也不清楚:wo ye wo ye bu qing chu</mandarin> cause I remember like after O level <mandarin>我去做工:wo qu zuo gong</mandarin> right then this


this colleague of mine right <mandarin>他是:ta shi</mandarin> JC student then <mandarin>他要去:ta yao qu</mandarin> SMU like <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> first choice <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> SMU business, cause she say that, companies look for, graduates ya from SMU


, but let's say <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> the choice so limited until, uni


ya I think it might be err longer


studying period I'm not sure cause, I I wouldn't want to go and study early childhood again in a for degree <mandarin>因为不需要:yin wei bu xu yao</mandarin> mah, they won't hire anyone with, ya, I remember I go


last time for some video shoot, then she say, if I can hire <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> poly graduate, with a diploma at a lower pay, with more experience than a uni holder why would I want to go hire someone with a degree


you know that kind of thing, if you early childhood degree (hmm), you don't have, you don't have experience then, you will never really <mandarin>做工:zuo gong</mandarin> before what that's the assumptions lah


so they will definitely just hire diploma students then I don't I don't see a need to, go back and study early childhood again for degree lor not necessary lor, but


, I, I don't know because let's say right if I want to completely give up on the early childhood industry thing which I think a lot of my classmates planning to like I remember


then <mandarin>你在:ni zai</mandarin> practicum <mandarin>的时候你真的是很忙:de shi hou ni zhen de shi hen mang</mandarin> eh for a first first timer <mandarin>他他们不他们:ta ta men bu ta men</mandarin> like don't care if


then when you <mandarin>真的在那里:zhen de zai na li</mandarin> right <mandarin>你很:ni hen</mandarin> stress leh because they won't teach you mah <mandarin>他们已经:ta men yi jing</mandarin> assume <mandarin>你知道了:ni zhi dao le</mandarin> then after that three month ah we work for what three months every week then my friends come back and then say oh very tiring I don't think I want to work like that anymore but #bo bian# what we already here


ya lor


, ya I think


why why you complain so much you just go there and like change diapers only what, and then, for me that time is still okay because I really just go there and change diapers cause they never, they never allow me to like plan lessons <mandarin>那种东西:na zhong dong xi</mandarin> yet


but this year's one like november I start I have to plan lessons by myself, then that one is stressful already mah,


not very high , , I think my that's my opinion lah cause other people they will I haven't start working lah so I also don't know but <mandarin>很多人很多:hen duo ren hen duo</mandarin> other teachers all say like I can one can progress can earn money one but then want to progress also must go additional course leh like <mandarin>你要做一个:ni yao zuo yi ge</mandarin> lead teacher are lead teacher also earn three K only you also need to go another course to improve yourself first then you can work as a lead teacher there's a lot of thing to go through ah and I think it takes very long right that's what <mandarin>很多人:hen duo ren</mandarin> like halfway through they just give up lor and it's not


it's not like a very, pretty job is very like tiring like physically tiring <mandarin>的那种:de na zhong</mandarin> job, then <mandarin>你也没有办法:ni ye mei you ban fa</mandarin> but to go and run after them what don't just let them run


ya, ya then


, means seven to seven then you still have to travel all this thing right, more than twelve hours of your day spent and then sometimes I think the childcare that I'm attached to last time is open on saturdays <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> leh


so ya so you, but


, then the sad thing is your job don't end when you like <mandarin>放工:fang gong</mandarin> you know because when you go home right you still need to prepare materials for lesson


most, not say homework [bah] <mandarin>因因为:ba yin yin wei</mandarin> you like let's say right secondary school students, all our teachers <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> go YouTube <mandarin>找一个:zhao yi ge</mandarin> video put on the screen listen <mandarin>做:zuo</mandarin> worksheet right, but <mandarin>小孩子:xiao hai zi</mandarin> they don't learn like that what


, ya, (hmm) we must make sense like make it make sense to them


then is ya, !wah! <mandarin>真的是很:zhen de shi hen</mandarin> stressful eh then your <mandarin>你做完了:ni zuo wan le</mandarin> your teacher will say ah, not good then you just, !huh! <mandarin>我已经做到这样了:wo yi jing zuo dao zhe yang le</mandarin> then <mandarin>你讲:ni jiang</mandarin> not good


redo,


cause, , last year I think she haven't like realise the, the weight of it all you know that kind of thing <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> last year she <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> GPA <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> mah this year we have GPA


then this year she really go crazy she tell me she finally understand why sometimes we sleep at three o'clock then we wake up at eleven you know usually she will wake up at seven one now she also wake up at eleven


I think hor <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> poly lecturers <mandarin>都是这样:dou shi zhe yang</mandarin> like <mandarin>你问他们问题:ni wen ta men wen ti</mandarin> right they will be so confused with your question as if they never like hear the question before


!wah! <mandarin>你的老师你的老师:ni de lao shi ni de lao shi</mandarin> don't know when is the submission deadline this kind of thing <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> ah !wah! that one


, four AM


eh but I I <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> don't understand why he want you all to like change the screen so many time like what's the difference I thought the slides will still be the same, difficult ah


oh my <mandarin>我的天:wo de tian</mandarin> ah, your your exam is when september


[orh], [orh] ya ya, okay lah, ya same same, same


oh I remember my WISP teacher, he will start the class by saying, okay go and sign your attendance, then, then then he will okay sign attendance then he will move on


okay <mandarin>我你们去:wo ni men qu</mandarin> like you know write comments here, then he said okay write now, okay wait I'm looking at the attendance again, uh blah blah blah can you go and sign in the attendance


and then we are like !huh! why you so #kan chiong# like the lesson haven't even over what, then, his lesson ah <mandarin>两个小时:liang ge xiao shi</mandarin> right usually won't hit <mandarin>两个小时:liang ge xiao shi</mandarin> one he very


he also don't like I can feel like he has no like, interest into ya interest in teaching, so he will end thee lesson really fast, but I tell you <mandarin>一个小时内:yi ge xiao shi nei</mandarin> right, two hours, is spent on chasing people to do eh twenty minutes is spent on chasing people to do attendance


ya he say this one eh sorry err yvonne please go and err, do your attendance, please do your attendance then he will jump to another topic, but then he will jump back to the attendance part again


then we never learn anything you know, my whole WISP module is useless one I but I think <mandarin>你的老师:ni de lao shi</mandarin> still okay right


!wah!,


, I think I think your teacher really damn good sia, there's always


then <mandarin>你你:ni ni</mandarin> start to wonder right


and hor <mandarin>他们赚很多:ta men zhuan hen duo</mandarin> leh you got see, I, ya I remember <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> for some module I need to find like job advertisement


then I see <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> NP lecturer then I see <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> five K eh I was like !huh! lecturer <mandarin>做:zuo</mandarin> five K


, , I agree they really don't teach properly at all then they just like give you the slides right and then they expect you to know lah and I hate it lor


hor, how the some some teachers teach, I have like a few teachers which I really really like <mandarin>喜欢:xi huan</mandarin> one is


I think <mandarin>我这个:wo zhe ge</mandarin> sem quite unlucky, all my teachers, ya, I don't like but okay lah cause, I remember


there's this teacher of mine right <mandarin>每次你问他:mei ci ni wen ta</mandarin> for feedback right it's always the same thing, good good effort I can see this okay move on, then we are like where's the like the comment like the feedback feedback that we need for like


our assignment <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> give then, let's say we have about seventeen weeks of lesson right like I think so right ish ah let's say, I only see her face to face like through like MS teams face to face like six times


, but it's not her fault per se lah is entire module right <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> lesson, but then that module is a very difficult module to learn by yourself


they will fill up the slides right BD <mandarin>他都给我们:ta dou gei wo men</mandarin> slides to download right every week, one time <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> slides, about hundred and twenty you know one week


ya they <mandarin>塞:sai</mandarin> everything into together, then they, they expect you to understand, by yourself, and like do the assignment, ya


, then cause usually that's for lecture right then you will expect tutorial <mandarin>会比较好:hui bi jiao hao</mandarin> then got like teachers, explanation that's usually the case right lecture is like you just go through quick quick then tutorial they sort of put more focus into it lah at least that's how my teachers did it last time but this time round I think because COVID right then tutorial is just they just say oh okay do this first hour of tutorial don't need to call <mandarin>你们自己做你们自己自己做的:ni men zi ji zuo ni men zi ji zi ji zuo de</mandarin> assignment err task lah like tutorial task


ya then the last one hour we call <mandarin>你们:ni men</mandarin> present, but then what's the point of that ah it's like I never learn anything, so I don't know,


ya, but you you learn a lot of the same thing as nad is it like the BCL, is it, I don't know you got learn <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> is it not


is it some law thing, ah, ah ah


oh,


how did we do it ah


oh I remember <mandarin>我的老师讲:wo de lao shi jiang</mandarin> oh we have no definite plans to open schools or open campus for NP students and then I was like !huh!, ya then okay because I definitely need to go to work one they already said we have attachment I'm not sure if they will let us go cause you know like outsiders to go into class every month a bit dangerous or something but that's what they say lah you will have attachment


but schools they <mandarin>他们也:ta men ye</mandarin> also not like not sure whether they will open up for us <mandarin>因为我们有很多人五百个:yin wei wo men you hen duo ren wu bai ge</mandarin> what,


ya I agree lor,


but I think, some like lectures can definitely go online <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> your lectures are online or not last time


but I feel like, lecturers this time round can definitely just <mandarin>上上网:shang shang wang</mandarin> lor


ya, but I don't know why they never open campus for my your they got ever open for yours any one of your lessons


oh ya,


ITB <mandarin>学:xue</mandarin> coding ah, oh is really really difficult leh I remember last time, secondary school <mandarin>我们有一个:wo men you yi ge</mandarin> computer lesson lah but it's like very noob <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> coding sessions lor


even that <mandarin>我已经很辛苦了:wo yi jing hen xin ku le</mandarin> like I really don't know what is going on, coding, , considered


!aiyo!, , !aiyo!, !hais! life


so many things, when when you grow old right,


ya, nowadays I start to regret,


but I I really relate to that man you know nowadays I feel like <mandarin>我们睡觉起床的时候:wo men shui jiao qi chuang de shi hou</mandarin> it's like never well rested I don't know


err oh my


ya, ya but it's <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> vivid or something and it's always very like, then, I <mandarin>要生孩子:yao sheng hai zi</mandarin> then


then after that I started like then, I was not an adult I was like a teen mom I don't know why <mandarin>我会想到这样:wo hui xiang dao zhe yang</mandarin> but it was so vivid, then when I woke up right it's like not well rested at all


I agree, ya


I want to <mandarin>睡爽:shui shuang</mandarin> I want to wake up and feel like !wow!, that sleep was great but nowadays I <mandarin>起床:qi chuang</mandarin> is just !wah! Sian sia


ya, I think last time not as bad sia last time is like when you sleep wake up


for like the two weeks then the moment it ends right I will sleep for like sixteen hours straight, ya


so energetic nowadays I can't even sleep for more than eight hours I like six hours like that I wake up


ya, usually if I sleep <mandarin>三点多:san dian duo</mandarin> right, usually


ya, and then we just, we just like, rest, because now right I think the problem is like


we no longer associate our bedroom with just bedroom, is like I do my work and everything here also, ya, then if we go staycation it will just be rest


be on the bed and Nua that kind of situation, , ,


ya, routine and stuff right, ya


ya better than nothing it's just a new environment to sleep in, okay lor


that kind of situation, so like <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> associate <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> bedroom with just <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> sleep


but now is like, , is like now you enter your bedroom then you think about all the work you need to do you think of the stress


, right then <mandarin>你一开眼睛:ni yi kai yan jing</mandarin> hor when you wake up, I see my laptop the first thing in the morning


that's it the start of the stress, I think we need that getaway but then, she got boy boy situation you know,


, but this guy is I don't know


right,


maybe right, cause nad got tell me like <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> the guy lah want nad to, act in front of <mandarin>他们的朋友:ta men de peng you</mandarin> so like


because he don't want them to know, that's the thing I was like iffy about of cause, okay let's say, you already he already bring her back home you know for parents to see


but why you don't want to let your <mandarin>朋友:peng you</mandarin> know, he like, he think <mandarin>他们的朋友会一直:ta men de peng you hui yi zhi</mandarin> like, <mandarin>欺负:qi fu</mandarin> or like tease them you know, but I think, ya they won't say anything


and, , exactly, that is what I think so, but, I don't dare to tell her lah


because it's not a nice thing to say what so I just like okay, you deal with it, but then in my back back on my head <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> is like !wah! this guy is, why he Paiseh to go and, let everyone know that he


I know I mean at least even if you do I mean I you do, wrong for a lot of parts for the financial analysis at least I can see you are putting effort and you're asking if you if you keep asking me the same repeated question over and over again


, I mean the very least she could write a script herself don't have don't have me to write the script for her


, , (mmhmm), I mean we do the whole project for her already and the all she had to do was just a powerpoint and I maybe I I'm I'm more anal in these are more objective in this kind of situation lah like I would say that you really never put in the effort but I will still give her the some points for writing her own powerpoint and taking the initiative like oh okay guys I'm doing public a publicity okay let me just research what I need to do or anyone can tell me what is publicity doing and why is this thing and stuff


, , , and even at the Q&A during the publicity part I tried to give her the chance because the question she asked is legit uh something that I really written in the script I know that because I wrote in the script already the script is written by me I know what's going on


, okay look based on <mandarin>你们的:ni men de</mandarin> information when should the when should the promote the campaign being rolled out


ya, ya I mean it's in the slide itself that inside the her one post late right it actually says that okay <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> planning period <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> between two to three months so that's around then the seasonal period is june and june or july and so on <mandarin>所以我们:suo yi wo men</mandarin> guide put around this which I already write in the script itself


which she did read out in a script just that she did not understand what's the script going is going on so when the teacher ask she did not even unmute herself


, , , but I mean, continue


ya I mean writing the script part maybe because I'm the one to write the script I may be more pissed off in this case but I think most people are more pissed off in the case that they really don't see that she's contributing anything like even alvin who try to be nice alvin says that when the when the part that she they ask what is her contribution he could not think of anything


(hmm),


I'm not even sure she's around during the I mean she's around she online for the meeting for some of the meeting she did not attend all the meeting in the first place and she's always the first one to go and, throughout the meeting she does not talk at all


if I agree that there's some kind of communication barrier because in some case


in a lot of times my work also started out this way just that I will appreciate I don't mind as she does not contribute anything this one I can still accept if she really don't know what's going on she does not contribute I and, in terms of work quality she's her one is shit I'm quite happy that she does not contribute


what, but indeed in this case <mandarin>如果你看:ru guo ni kan</mandarin> project <mandarin>的时候你看你一定看得出我:de shi hou ni kan ni yi ding kan de chu wo</mandarin> understand what's going on throughout the project, although I don't know how to do the project itself


(uh huh), , I mean uh sorry sorry you continue first


for did Shah uh that time when you disagree with me is mainly cause you thought I mark him down, not because you didn't I mean, not because I giving equal but you thought because I say that uh I give everyone plus something except for Shah a except for Shah and megan


then you thought that I mark down Shah also, no Kenji side is because he put he give megan zero percent so at like twenty percent thirty percent all is then equal to hundred percent


, ah lah I mean it's easier because, mean somebody have to get hundred and ten also one


, wasn't minus hundred, uh, ya


I mean he she did change the rental, but she did change it


I mean if she want to contribute I wouldn't, as long as she ask us what's going on I'm satisfied but <mandarin>请不要:qing bu yao</mandarin> last minute <mandarin>跟我们换东西:gen wo men huan dong xi</mandarin> but you don't know what you don't even know what's going on if you change something with some knowledge I mean


at least you try to understand before you change something then I will say that that's effort but you change some you don't even know what's going on and just changing things to trying to pretend to produce a work, , that's not work


, , I mean that's <mandarin>我我是比较:wo wo shi bi jiao</mandarin> anal <mandarin>的问问题现在我的是我的看法会比较:de wen wen ti xian zai wo de shi wo de kan fa hui bi jiao</mandarin> Jialat <mandarin>问题是:wen ti shi</mandarin> even other people may not think this way


, , , , I mean I if <mandarin>我不是:wo bu shi</mandarin> I'm trying I will not try not to be not nice


but I mean I understand how it feels so I know how is it feels to be to be boycott, kind of situation but the thing that I'm looking for is very simple I just need you to put in the effort that's all even if you don't do anything if I see like even Shah or even Shah let's say I because I don't know how much he contribute to your part the the the the market research but I don't know what's going on because this is between you and him


but the list that I saw was that Shah is putting effort to understand what's going on, but if I passed Shah the whole project to do presentation at least I know that he knows what's going on because he put in effort to do so
