sometimes okay how I do is like five times I going out means two times I will tell three times I won't tell, because for them then okay if my months are left with exams then they will tell like oh that day you went out right a lot of time same with your friends that's why your exam marks are so low I don't want them to tell like that so that's why I say I usually it's not that I like to lie to them I won't tell


I will go to school okay if like I'm going to school means I'm going to school I straight away meet them and then I go back home like that


okay err they talk like err


or if they talk like they know everything but the thing is we know that earlier we know that what they're telling is not true but telling like they know everything like that then I will get irritated


ah <tamil>கஞ்சா:ganjaa</tamil> case


you know like if they err example they bought an iPhone okay they like it they telling about the iPhone features like this one lah that one lah I bought this one lah like they want to show off they bought a new iPhone they can just tell like I bought a new iPhone that's all finish already right they won't tell like that they will talk like one story then tell the


I feel like when they will finish talking


but even if you laugh it will be like normal only err how to tell


you will tell on comedy then you become serious, ya you won't laugh also like <tamil>இப்போ நான் வந்து:ippo naan vandhu</tamil> joke <tamil>சொல்றேன்னா நானும் சேர்ந்து சிரிப்பேன்ல:solraenaa naanum sernthu siripaenla</tamil> you tell joke and you look like this

and they only lockdown it till the end of this year so I can't go back, , and then whoever in india my cousin my siblings can't meet them also


ya but, recently like every two years once you will be going lah when I last went I went twenty eighteen


so now is twenty twenty already I don't know when I can go back again, last year my uncle passed away also we we couldn't go back no not because of COVID only my mother went back I had polytechnic and everyone had their own stuff lah so if my mum if everyone went there then we couldn't handle everything so my mother went india so I was handling her dance class students


because got competition also ah so I was ya ya I was like, when my mom will be coming back I don't know how she handle everything alone you know she's a super lady I wanted to be like her but then I couldn't


you know now she having spinal cord problem in her neck she was just discharged from hospital she was in hospital for nine days she was wearing the the neck support thing I don't know the exact name lah still she went to dance lesson teaching dance I don't know what to tell seriously she was like


I ask her to take rest but she wanted to go dance class, it is painful the doctor say like you can do operation or physiotherapy she did physiotherapy so she going for physiotherapy


one minute four feet, ya but for lockdown we need to do something to earn right so she's still going that's why I'm telling she's working hard to pay my expenses my fee and so on


that's why I feel regret for not studying well for last semester, but I wanted to work also I really don't want to depend on them because they are not they are not getting lot of events and so on you know to earn a lot she also trying her best to do that do this and so on to get some money so I decided to work also lah


no one is giving work that's the problem you know international students only, actually international students only can work for sixteen hours so I don't want to take the risk to work long so ya that's why I ask for part time job I and Sumatra was going around jurong point and asking for work and we applied in three places but they didn't call us back


, why should I get the okay, okay everyday when I wake up I'm grateful that I'm alive okay I'll get fear when someone asked to talk in front of everyone


ask to talk in front everyone okay the main thing is I'm fear of microphone, if you give me mike you can see my nervousness in my face seriously


for school presentation I will be so nervous and so like <tamil>பயமா இருக்கும் ரொம்ப பயமா இருக்கும்:bayamaa irukkum romba bayamaa irukum</tamil> my hands and legs will be shivering and then when I go in front I won't stand at a place I'll be like walking dancing dancing without realising until I end my speech my teacher was like your speech was so good


but why are you walking no why are you dancing then everyone was like she's a dancer teacher that's why she is dancing while talking


ya the thing is simple they just ya they forgot about it but from my side of me I will think like what they will think if I think like that lah over thinking

mixing both wait is it codeswitching or mixing it oh codeswitching chinese and, english at the same time, so, ya, okay good, but before we digress further what are we talking about oh ya I was talking about the night market no you were talking about the night market


okay sorry for interrupting tell me tell me tell me, (ppc)


, well I think I agree with you I can't really remember much about night markets except for the ones in singapore in taiwan I didn't really shop much <mandarin>在新:zai xin</mandarin> ya


ya what don't night markets in singapore #pasar malam# open up to


!huh!


well okay yes but what I remember is that


, ah <mandarin>有四个图片:you si ge tu pian</mandarin> eh actually <mandarin>三个:san ge</mandarin> lah then <mandarin>有一个:you yi ge</mandarin> question mark then <mandarin>我我:wo wo</mandarin> I remember lah <mandarin>记得那时候夜市:ji de na shi hou ye shi</mandarin> is the night market


then, okay lah I don't know right or wrong or not lah but ya what I remember is last time I remember writing a composition about it and then saying that a young boy bargain for a lower price for a watch at the night market


so ya that's what I remember about bargaining lor, we don't really see much in singapore nowadays because there's not ya even in the local night markets nowadays


err in taiwan, , ya I've been to a few mostly in singapore lah because last time I like to go there and buy then buy the taiwan <mandarin>香肠:xiang chang</mandarin> the sausage that's my favorite


I know you don't like lah,


(uh huh), (uh huh)


!wah! <mandarin>有一次我吃的那个是那个:you yi ci wo chi de na ge shi na ge</mandarin> <mandarin>鸡翅膀:ji chi bang</mandarin> ah I think <mandarin>里面有:li mian you</mandarin> stuff <mandarin>东西的:dong xi de</mandarin> I not sure what they put inside stuffed chicken wings


I think so lah ah, but my memory doesn't serve me well I I can't really remember some ya


, !aiyo! obviously the only thing I like at night market is food, dude all the street store ah !wah! they fry this err what taiwan fried chicken err what was it last time ah there the taiwan <mandarin>香肠:xiang chang</mandarin> that's my favourite one I always ask my mum to buy one or like #siew mai# oh I love the #siew mai# man


dude those are good food that we, I mean we can eat it anywhere nowadays, but at that time it was fun you know to just wait outside in the crowd and ask people to, uh not ask people sorry ask your mum to help you buy mommy can I have this you know


and the low


ya let's delve in let's delve into the topic of, urbanisation ah globalization ah no lah I'm kidding let's not, let's not wait, ya but at least what we know is that you're showing your aunty side out ah


we actually talked about night markets, no lah kidding lah, (mmhmm)


, (mmhmm) that's true <mandarin>你说得对:ni shuo de dui</mandarin> lah


[orh], , I think I remember you bought four eh ya four


did you just say thirty four like three four thirty four


thirty two wait why so many though,


oh, ya ya I do I remember, ya


(mmhmm), ya go on go on you were saying


okay ya that's true that's true I know but the it's true what the <mandarin>手机:shou ji</mandarin> very attractive what I remember that time <mandarin>你你在外国的时候泰国:ni ni zai wai guo de shi hou tai guo</mandarin> ah, [orh] [orh] eh relax lah I know you ate a lot shop a lot but eh wait regarding the passport thing I didn't know you bought that many did you customize all thirty two of them


(ppc)


!wow!, wait three hours just to shop for, passport covers, !aiya! <mandarin>一样:yi yang</mandarin> lah that's shopping mah okay wait so you bought thirty two passport covers how much did that cost


okay nevermind hundred plus, !wow! about thirty two


I I need to talk more lah actually that's why I'm talking, ya as in you by thirty two how many members do you have sia family members


!wah! okay that's very nice actually ya <mandarin>我觉得他很:wo jue de ta hen</mandarin> !aiya! ya that's different from my my side's family lah we don't often buy that many and if we buy <mandarin>我们只买给:wo men zhi mai gei</mandarin> like


[orh]


, okay lah that's true lah that's because you all meet a lot lah quite fun ya ya


true true, ya I I mean I also kind of agree lah I mean not that I don't like anyone it's just that it's more comfortable to be by yourself sometimes <mandarin>你从外国回来已经很累了:ni cong wai guo hui lai yi jing hen lei le</mandarin> then <mandarin>还要去:hai yao qu</mandarin> visit everyone but okay lah it's different lah cause your family stay <mandarin>比较附近:bi jiao fu jin</mandarin> to each other right


my family not so so lah, I am like one end of the singapore then <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> uncle <mandarin>是在另外一边:shi zai ling wai yi bian</mandarin> of singapore, go out that much lah, ya lor so that's how it is


ya lor, did you miss night markets or ya you just tell me what you wanna say


wait I mean like in singapore uh singapore's night markets lah not like overseas one singapore's one uh I can't really remember I I knew there were like a game section there's food section and then there's clothing section, and that's about all I remember


I think have the one that you throw at the duck then <mandarin>有些是那个:you xie shi na ge</mandarin> fishing <mandarin>的钓鱼的:de diao yu de</mandarin> but <mandarin>不是真的鱼:bu shi zhen de yu</mandarin> lah so it's just the fake fishes then I think <mandarin>有里面有一个:you li mian you yi ge</mandarin> prize <mandarin>的如果你抓到一个:de ru guo ni zhua dao yi ge</mandarin> fish


, [orh] <mandarin>有看过:you kan guo</mandarin> lah actually I know still got night market right at woodlands <mandarin>那边你知道:na bian ni zhi dao</mandarin> woodlands, ya serious


of course okay but the thing right is nowadays there's no more bargaining and then there the things that they sell mostly food I think they call it a bazaar, there are a lot of err a lot of malays like to go my friends all tell me about it last time when I was in NS


ya, the, ya eh that's a very nice topic to delve into lah to be honest, this culture this tradition that's lost but that's also because <mandarin>我们是在那个:wo men shi zai na ge</mandarin> digital age <mandarin>了吗:le ma</mandarin> then all the youngster ah <mandarin>都很:dou hen</mandarin> educated ah then they all go for bigger jobs or like more prestigious jobs not many people are there to go and run those uh


the little stores there are now more big businesses mah so ya ya lor, I guess it's a pity that some things are lost but you know some things you give up, and big things come also lah so, you know they have different cultures different practices lor


with the loss of night markets at least there's, I mean we gained something also lah in in the society, so ya but of course I do hope, there will be more of such night markets around it's good to believe I think one thing that is missing nowadays is the community bonding cause of the crowd you get to bump into neighbours friends or then you all can even chit-chat every now and then


ya it's it's not there's not so much of these activities that bring people together cause night markets are mostly in the neighbourhood mah but not so much in taiwan lah I guess I'm not sure about taiwan's culture, ya


, , ya I remember you told me you went for it when you were younger, ya


, true,


I think don't really have as much also lah by then at that point in time already,


, , , ya lah true lah I mean can't really fully say that for sure <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lah because okay for now we know this kind of thing don't happen cause COVID lah


banned, but in future I don't know there are still activities that bring people together, and we're not sure how


the digitalized age can still bring communities together perhaps maybe you'll never know well next time there might be community movies downstairs or what near their parks or what, you never know what this is just like some random nonsense I'm just throwing out lah <mandarin>很多东西的:hen duo dong xi de</mandarin> lah I'm sure


community community bondedness, might be shown in different ways lah <mandarin>有很多方法:you hen duo fang fa</mandarin> to bring <mandarin>方法:fang fa</mandarin> right plans ideas that bring people together


okay


okay, wait sorry, I kind of lost you there I zoned out for a moment <mandarin>你说什么:ni shuo shen me</mandarin> community party <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> condo <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> now you mean now


, , nice, oh ya


it's even easier to gather people together actually, oh ya but then this one requires some organization to do this lah so for condos obviously the people there there they got some management right, the management people


maybe not so much who knows but that this opens up to like maybe topics about, the different social stratification, ya <mandarin>有钱人:you qian ren</mandarin> stays <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> condo mah then


I don't know maybe that's how the management I mean, there will be sacrifice somewhere lah but of course not fully lah !huh! eh it's easier for those in the staying in condos where there's management mah so someone is there to, gather, the <mandarin>那些人在一起:nei xie ren zai yi qi</mandarin> mah


but ya, but we never know also lah, okay lah so, ya anyway this one a bit boring lah ah to talk, maybe you can talk about something else


eh very fun meh, !aiya! all the topics all getting very educational ah I think can talk about something else <mandarin>比较好玩的:bi jiao hao wan de</mandarin> lah, good lah but, , then we learn yes


okay let's move on lah what's our next topic on the paper


well <mandarin>其实:qi shi</mandarin> I not really sure lah myself, I guess, I like, to be honest I really don't have, err


decided about where to go, but I think, asian countries that I have never been to, like korea I mean I've been to korea but I will prefer to go korea again to explore the place,


then the place is very, soothing ah <mandarin>没有那么多人:mei you na me duo ren</mandarin> also, is more of like the countryside


it's a step out from <mandarin>我们现在这个地方新加坡很多人很:wo men xian zai zhe ge di fang xin jia po hen duo ren hen</mandarin> crowded and, like it's city life ah <mandarin>很很忙:hen hen mang</mandarin> lah you know, so ya


okay lah I don't know how to say in chinese that's why but ya good enough,


ya lah true lah


, okay, so, you like taiwan cause of the their culture there ah basically


I think, ya okay I ya I quite like taiwan too, not only is the food good but, but then again I'm not really sure cause I


have it's still like the city life to me, but of course it has a countryside as well which is, fun lah, but, one other place any other place that you have in mind actually speaking of cheap places like taiwan


there's also thailand what which you mention and Bali but of course those are there's a language barrier lah that's why, so, ya but ya we should be talking about what dream places that we wanted to go, right or where you want to visit


wait leaves but tough it or like take flights ah, but we I'm just laughing and because you look so dead as hard he can't he then you can't really ah


oh, food we are we don't have a choice it's fifty fifty come on man, she lah, where I didn't say yours was annoying though but perhaps it is to you


oh okay your wait where was I we we'll be talking about <mandarin>打飞机:da fei ji</mandarin> right oh ya european countries with speaking up that is antarctica and european country


I am actually not sure, ya that's true
