ya enough ah, cause, !huh! cause the rice plus spam fries plus the pork rib mah, no no no no each person one cup, about


the size of your palm ah of your whole hand size size of your whole hand, uh uh it's it's like not really a bowl like you oh you imagine cup for the egg tarts, egg tart you know that that size the cup ya about that size but maybe a bit bigger


ah ya ya ya <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> #lo mai gai# <mandarin>那那那种:na na na zhong</mandarin> uh size, , then <mandarin>你的晚餐:ni de wan can</mandarin> eh, !huh! <mandarin>鸭粥:ya zhou</mandarin> ah

!aiyo!, got so much meh <mandarin>有那么多:you na me duo</mandarin> meh, (uh huh),


!aiyo!, (uh huh)


, oh no but why you ask for less pearls though, eh, oh you order normal pearls but less ice, oh maybe ah


they ran out of balls, and drink more bubble tea and you become a pearl too


drink more bubble tea and you'll be you'll be as round as a pearl, yes, and you will be the bubble tea you same colour as the bubble tea you already, I want it yeah


why, but then you'll be eating yourself, , (uh huh)


oh, oh shit sounds nice, wait the salmon plus tuna plus shrimp, that's the cheapest but got three ingredients eh


sounds nice eh the salmon and the tuna, takes me back to King Kong Chirashi days, vinegar cube


!ee!, !ee! so sour,


!ee!, you drink the bottle of vinegar yourself, !ee! straight from the bottle, oh my god


oh no is this why your taste buds are spoilt, I guess you must like the <mandarin>酸辣粉:suan la fen</mandarin> right you must have bought went along with the craze


how many cups do you have left, !huh! I wonder where you got your first four from, I think four, yeah I pass you four you ate three already


it it has it has been two weeks okay ah two weeks I guess it's okay lah the other time got six also lasted you about two weeks ah, !wah! eh should I feel honoured or not, giving you some should I feel honoured you chose <mandarin>酸辣粉:suan la fen</mandarin> over maggie eh


, which maggie is it the tom yum one, Shin the red the normal red colour packet one ah


really meh, I only remember it's, I remember the noodles very thick, very thick right the noodles no meh


yeah !wah!, but the noodles when you cook that with boiling water that time do they become very soft or is still got a little bit of crunch, oh so it's like already soft soft that kind


I don't know leh that time I cook, I tried cooking with like the normal kettle water I boiled it first ah, but I don't know why the water like not hot enough eh so like the noodles were still a bit, like they were not totally soft yet, so I have to like pour everything to a pan then heat up


no not cooked later I stomachache, why oh I heard of this craze got of people uh they, you know you cook maggie that time right got all the <mandarin>脆脆:cui cui</mandarin> small little pieces of noodles ya they will save those small pieces till the end to to like as a garnish ah so like it adds a little crunch to their maggie


I think ya can can can that time I went camping like OBS ah in secondary school then they gave rations which were like maggie packets also, then my friends and I we just crunch the entire maggie packet up then we pour the seasoning inside eat it like Mamee Noodles quite Shiok eh


should be able to leh, but I guess this one got wax ah


oh you know there's a right way of cooking it, like a supposed right way like you boil like you cook it as per normal first right you don't put seasoning inside just cook it as normal to get rid of the wax then we drain the water then you, err put more water again


ya, but damn troublesome sia, that takes a lot of effort, then usually what do you put in your maggie, ya do you put any Liao


oh, (uh huh),


you can try you've you've one last one last bowl left eh, you can portion out some soup first lor before you start eating, really


maybe you can add more water, oh how much water did you add you add until where


, oh, then I think that time I've put until almost, okay not almost full lah but I think is less lesser space than yours ah


nah the vinegar I don't like vinegar, !wah! then your birthday I can give you a bottle of vinegar ah bottle of vinegar plus plus a slab of salmon sashimi for you to bite


!wah! vinegar jelly ah I think you eat it as a snack ah I say that, , oh my god, that is something new


(mm), (ppo), I don't know, (um) I forgot my birthday


Peizhen you can hear me now, okay okay lower your volume lower your volume


I, okay, yes


wait wait, which which side are you coming from is it the River Valley side or is it you coming from the highway you know the, oh you go straight you go straight from Lakeside like straight road right


oh, okay okay I I know I know I know where you coming from, okay, okay


okay, (uh huh)


, ya like okay it's not weekend also so not that bad


peak hour confirm, , no but by right right for for you I think you are supposed to turn before you even reach JP cause <mandarin>我的家的那个:wo de jia de na ge</mandarin> opening right is at


the other side you know the red house area that you have to turn in and then the other one is like in front of JP the one opposite which is the one that you came in also, so if you if you went all the way to JP already right you need to turn one big round also


correct, ya so it depends on which side you go right by right you should already turn right then, go, you know like along the flats like the moment you saw my my my block or building right you are supposed to turn right already don't go to JP already


ya <mandarin>你转那里:ni zhuan na li</mandarin> right then you after you turn left right you can see the opening already then got two side what one side is the gate the money gateway then the other one is the, one you went lor


, now you get it


!huh! that long wait wait wait !huh! I thought you drove to work also, you think you are, Shihlin no, you mean, oh


(uh huh)


[orh], true true, wait so, you will park in, there's a but you hardly work there now also, oh okay, then you just didn't !huh! it's been six months that long already


, (uh huh)


(uh huh), I know you were trying to check your phone to like the next location or something is it I knew it then I was like okay right then I realise


why, [orh]


yes, wait because I don't I don't drive I don't know how much does the the middle mirror cover like how far can you see <mandarin>看不到旁边的:kan bu dao pang bian de</mandarin> right


(uh huh), oh okay but you cannot see like oh cause the car was already right beside you no what is slightly behind is it


[orh], unless you see the real


oh then at night also then you !woo! freely driving, ya, I'm very glad that you're alive


yes, yes, oh it's wait it's Wednesday Tuesday, today's, today's Wednesday wait I thought you were gonna start on Monday


okay, [orh]


yes, ya ya correct correct you told me


that's why <mandarin>你觉得他们不要你:ni jue de ta men bu yao ni</mandarin> mah, but you never try to negotiate what you just ask only what is it then they like no then you never like you know push your limits also


it's not like you are very a very difficult person you know, I I can agree with that but, , you need to tell me how you ate six tubs of ice cream


because how like are they all acai berry , are you for real same flavour you ate six pints altogether


(uh huh), oh is birthday, oh you know two days ago it was my bro's birthday, no no no


thank you, thank you you do not know me at all , it's okay lah cause, I know, to you is just a day


I understand , I understand it's just a day to you


I'm the only one who remember the birthday and then everybody else forgot about the birthday and then even him himself doesn't really care about the birthday so it's it's not like a big deal lah, ya like in our house nobody really celebrates like I think <mandarin>小时候有:xiao shi hou you</mandarin> but


you know this is like you know it's like those lottery kind of like game right like like like Russian Russian roulette game, we don't play russian roulette at home oh no


it's just like, ah something like something like that ya they use this for bingo also so that thing right when you when you turn one round right then you will like you know randomly they will mix the ball then you will take up one card one one ball with the number <mandarin>它会滚出来:ta hui gun chu lai</mandarin> then you will see a number then you will oh number one


something like that so we had that thing at home and then that thing is super noisy because the balls are all made of like plastic, ya then you know I was very angry that like nobody give a damn about that day I just then my dad was like super bad because I was still like a rebel kid who wanted my birthday to be celebrated


and my dad probably like going through some mid life crisis I don't know, ya, cause you know when they had me they were like very late so I I assumed that they were going through some it was probably still like the days that we were like quite poor


so, what's that what's that word what's going on in America right now, err, yes I protest by doing weird things like I will eat rice until all my rice fall onto the table


I think for you you will definitely <mandarin>你会很生气因为你是:ni hui hen sheng qi yin wei ni shi</mandarin> foodie <mandarin>一看一个人吃饭也不会吃这样:yi kan yi ge ren chi fan ye bu hui chi zhe yang</mandarin> and that's got what got my dad very angry also, I I really choose the worst of the worst methods to to rebel


it's very bad I think back and I regret also, no lah nobody gives a damn about me like like last time I think, as kids they will try to like hide things up then they will oh let's celebrate this let's celebrate that and like you know mid autumn festival right they always got the <mandarin>点灯笼:dian deng long</mandarin> so even if we don't go out right you will always put a lot of like err the paper lantern candles all around house so we will just off the lights I mean by me I off the lights and I put all the candles around and then for them to not <mandarin>灭掉:mie diao</mandarin> then I never on the fan then everybody like very hot at home


without any wind just seeing this lanterns lying around, I didn't know it was that bad because I was enjoying it very much, I I pour everyone green tea and then we just sat at because it was so hot right we just sat at night we got this very tiny balcony from our past home we just sat there and then we like kind of like just play around at the balcony


so when you sit at balcony is actually brighter then we were like trying to play chinese chess there or what


uh ya because my my dad taught me taught me that since young so that's why that's what I'm good at you know


yes, did you try, oh


ah ya ya ya the four box one


the protector right ah ya ya, only inside the only inside the palace


I don't think you, , oh, ya he he train you in property prices not in chess lor, ya


oh !wow!, you just get slapped down, oh my god very triggered I'm very triggered by this


at least my dad didn't do that to me I think <mandarin>我的自尊心:wo de zi zun xin</mandarin> cannot take this, I understand


or he knows that it's a broad study


okay, always


actually is quite interesting in like the more that it changes cause it's not something that is predictable so, you will end up even wanting to study it more like (oo) what will happen isn't it like even I feel like wanting to know this kind of thing, don't look at me like that


like not too in depth because it's too scary for me when it's too in depth but ya general knowledge on it, the thing is the account is where where


but got a lot of website mah you must intro me one I'm a, (mmhmm)


trade, then okay, (mmhmm)


yes, this one I know,


oh I mean it's banks, per transaction


(mmhmm)


(mmhmm), yes I understand


very high, so great


wait the cost is the same even though your dad does it, oh then is very beneficial for like, bigger purchasing power people rather than like small fries you know


but I thought they have the other kind one like like if it's, above a certain amount then they will charge you a certain price don't have that kind


oh for yours isn't, definitely, oh


well I'm not gonna go everybody's gonna go to Mcdonalds on Friday there is that, Friday is a day when I will stay home and not do anything I will die if I go out on Friday


ya I feel like even if it's, five people right you, everywhere it's gonna crowd like even in malls and then you can dine in it's like I think a lot of people will dine in you know I have friends right who tell me that their colleague right already Chope like #hai di lao# place already


want to eat steamboat so badly you know, I'm so thankful that I have like friends who really agree with that like you know let's go out after like maybe like two weeks later and see how it goes that's probably like phase three or four already


(mmhmm), and we we always avoid crowds it's like nothing special already


ya just few days ago only, true


oh, I was thinking this week it was okay but still like you know sometimes there's spikes so like my parents are staring at the number and then like everyday asking me oh <mandarin>今天为什么没有跟我讲有几个人:jin tian wei shen me mei you gen wo jiang you ji ge ren</mandarin> you know


there is it doesn't change our lifestyle that much right, I think is quite bad cause, her her place is around Chinatown what so mostly the people who actually go there the tourist side will go to the mall but the people who actually work there are the ones that go to the hawker centre to eat


so plus it's double layered like like double level so people might not just go up to the second floor to eat if it's like, ya I don't think people will like specially go up just to check out that place you know you just like you know <mandarin>坐在一楼就这样吃了:zuo zai yi lou jiu zhe yang chi le</mandarin> so my mum is kind of like in a disadvantage in a way


so <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> I mean you can see that like my cause my dad sits at home to cut the vegetables what, so you can see that the vegetable is significantly very less because he can like finish it like in one day early afternoon


but last time he will spend like the whole day cutting the vegetable you know, can cut until at night that kind, and then my mum comes home and then has time to cook dinner for us I I'm eating my mum's dinner everyday so I'm very glad lah you know that she has this not so hectic lifestyle


but then she's complaining that she's not earning as much lah definitely affected, ya but they won't cut the work from home


that fast I think, sorry, !huh! really they want to immediately throw everyone into the workforce already meh


oh, okay, uh X X !yay!, ya it's boomer then X Y Z then, A


A come out already, I think A come out already eh, ya we we are considered gen Z leh actually do you know that, gen Z is millennials what no meh


cause we're on we're on the ledge of gen Y and gen Z sometimes some people cut it at like nineteen ninety four which means we are totally the strawberry, but some of them cut at nineteen ninety seven so we would be gen Y and I would like to classify myself with gen Y more than gen Z because I feel like I cannot relate to the next I feel like you are too you you are like old without even trying


ah ya cause they have been working for quite some time like the own way


oh he went back I don't know what's wrong with this guy but he went back to work


you know I think his parents are like the kind that like, cause he has a brother and then I think they sent his brother overseas to further his study and then this guy also like me trying to get honours


cause I think his dream job was like to become some, teacher or lecturer not like the primary school teacher that type like at least try and teach poly kids at least then like this kind confirm they want you to have experience what so by right you should actually go out there and work I don't know what he want to teach also


it's damn confusing, ya that's why, he's like trying to either he has more, more fear than me to step out of this


you know to <mandarin>出去社会做工:chu qu she hui zuo gong</mandarin> cause, I don't know why is like this mentality that like you can you're still young and then you don't have to, immediately jump into the workforce in a way, we're not we're not adulting very well as you can see


ya but the thing is I need I I thought he wanted to like further studies that's why he wanted to go honours I don't know why he want to go honours cause people usually go to honours to try and go masters, but if he goes masters you can't you can't just take a masters and then just come out to teach actually you can


if you get PHD but that's another level it's like way higher and then you have to invest way more money into it what so <mandarin>不要看到这么远:bu yao kan dao zhe me yuan</mandarin> right if you want to get an honours cert it's already like you need to plan on what you really want to do like cause psychology what you would think about like whether you want take up like secretaries you know like that kind of thing or like I wanna go research path ya so for him he just he just want to stay safe that's why he say he want to go honours cause his friend also going honours


then, I cannot remember that school's name again I remember the previous time I also couldn't tell you the school's name the one that will take in honours students for private U, so, what's it called, wait never mind I shall not try


anyway this is like a lot of a lot of graduates from from my school will go there for honours cause ours don't have direct train mah cause NTU has, then, for mine is you you need to have


five distinctions and then he's like me he only got four, four out of six, no but actually he I thought he's actually smarter than me you know he's the kind of person who like will, he's like a ear piece enthusiast right so he actually buy a lot of ear piece and then he can <mandarin>採出来:cai chu lai</mandarin> and then see like what's inside you know he legit like


fixed a ear piece on his own he's sort of like an engineer I would say like you know very hands on, so I cannot see him in like


he he just sounds like a lost child, you know he's like, I think he has a lot of hobbies like he has a lot of hobbies that are hands on like building err


keyboard keyboard and then he had ear piece also ya so he was like once he's crazy into something right he will literally throw all his time into creating that thing to learn about that thing but I don't see, oh my gosh


Peizhen Peizhen can you hear me, oh my god Peizhen where are you


what's wrong did you disconnect


Peizhen can you hear me, can you hear me can you hear me, I think my comp just disconnected, what a big shock


but you still here though they didn't cut the call somehow, the network, wait what was I talking about


err, oh ya correct that those two are his main interest then it really reminds me of someone who is like will be good at like engineering stuff right


and then his poly course was like, environmental something along environmental engineering thing so like, for his internship he had to, it's like NEA kind of thing leh like he had to go to the sea to collect a sample of water every day


to test in the lab you know that kind of very environmental job so I don't know how he ended up in psychology, and then I can he sounds like he will be more into manipulative psychology than the helping psychology you know I I will sell that the organisation psychology to him


but he's he's more introverted than me also so I I don't know about this kid like sometimes I feel that, ya I mean I thought it would be a very good, start okay then during the job itself right he was like telling me like he has


he has some ideas to become, what's that coding he wanted to learn coding, cause I think maybe, I think it will suit will it suit him ya it'll probably suit him if he can sit down and have his hands on his computer you know but


he just said it but then he didn't do anything about it, I actually thought that he will really go into the coding field, so he's, he went back to this job


even I was talking to a supervisor then they were like asking me like what what err what to do after this right then I said oh I might be like further studying and stuff like that then for this guy is just, they ask me why they ask me why he is coming back you know like I don't know he just keeps like ruining his own life


like I'd rather, I think it's a safe spot but I don't think it's a happy spot, you know it's like you are comfortable in what you have now doesn't mean that you will grow from there what because you wouldn't know what to there's nothing more for you to learn from there unless they start to give you new jobs lah like picking up phone then that's like a new skill ya so


oh no man he always make me do things like he don't dare to I think he very shy also then got like some what's that auditors inside the room right then you need to bring files to the auditors then the auditors all girls then he don't he don't dare to bring there then he ask me to bring there like it's not my job he keep making use of me I was very annoyed


I mean I'm his friend lah so I tried to help him but, I think at some extent he has to like you know kind of like stand up for himself, and then like I I think I show you his photo also he is like this scrawny person


so, I I don't know how to help like this kid ya, I mean wouldn't it be better if you can just sit at home, and just pick up courses on coding I think it's still more, better investment than trying to go back to a job that pays you the same pay and has no progression


like, oh are you are you are you speaking for yourself


oh is a different is like a direct opposite they care don't care enough to to actually go and nag nag nag like you will you will grow on your own no worries


actually, these few days I was like reflecting back on my school days and then also after I I today also you send


why you know actually I you know I read this article that said err <mandarin>现在的年轻人更以前的不同:xian zai de nian qing ren geng yi qian de bu tong</mandarin> cause they say the current generation like


they are going through this phase that right by right you are supposed to go through this right in your older stage but they're going through it now cause like, usually you will just take up whatever job and then you will work until a certain age right then <mandarin>你会看:ni hui kan</mandarin> like oh have I done well in my life that's like the reflecting part what but now right the teenagers are like taught to think forward too much to the point that they will always think like you know


if in the future if I do this will I be right but in the past right nobody will actually they will just go for it, I think I don't know whether it's good or bad but like you know people are like, procrastinating too much because of this also cause they are like thinking about things that they cannot predict


it's not really a good thing, it does cause procrastination they say it's kind of like out of fear also cause you think of something that is very uncertain you don't know how it will go so you think that you are going to fail in what you do or like you have too many options that you don't know what to choose cause if you choose the wrong one then <mandarin>你只可以怪自己:ni zhi ke yi guai zi ji</mandarin> mah <mandarin>因为是你自己选的:yin wei shi ni zi ji xuan de</mandarin> correct


so a lot of people don't dare to take this step forward lor so, they procrastinate more, I think it's what this kid is facing as well as me this other kid, like like I keep


sometimes I I wish, kind of like recently talk to myself uh this is not for you you know, you know why this is too hard to go ah because society is like that, but then, somehow I will still feel like


ya it's something I want to do, (ugh) it changes a lot, it's complicated, I mean every every stage of life is complicated but, now is always called the most complicating


is that why you are depressed now, it, really


so so if your skin is like flawless and like , wait for real


but like this is like the main source of your childhood, wait but when when I knew you also what even until I didn't really focus on that leh like I don't realise


even back then when you had like and then like all your CCAs, I feel like you were coping well I didn't see you having a lot of breakouts also, is it me not trying to notice or are you like overly cautious about yourself


cause is unnatural, I, oh, I wanted to share this like I think when I was a kid when I was growing up I always had this value like I wanted to be like genuine and true to myself so I didn't want to like you know try too hard to you know


become something else like I wouldn't try like make up and then like stuff like that like skin care for me you know just be yourself normally and then like you know someone will like you but I realize that life doesn't work that way , it's a very big realisation out of nowhere like oh you're actually supposed to put in the effort to become the way you want rather than like you know I stay genuine and I don't do anything cause it will still be the core me when I grew up


I supposed to evolve not to just stay who I am so, very big realisation these days, oh really, but you were like hardworking and all like for me I always thought that things came easy since young


until I mean like O levels lah it's like like the kind that you everybody has to struggle then you just like (ugh) struggle through


A-star student, !wah!


oh, wait IQ questions or what


okay, okay


you you can't ask him to slow down or anything you you just


(uh huh), well it's just it's too bad your IQ is not high enough for it


ya, Peizhen ah


Peizhen ah, you are lagging, it was like a chunk of words that was like, pooled over like slurred over then I was like so confused trying to figure out what you talking about


okay okay you tell me from the, you were saying that it was you were saying that the questions were simple but tricky so your brain then it got the whole thing just got lag for me


yes, fragrance, ya eh actually I was reading a book on this, I have so much info to share these days , like there was there was this book that talks about like the two system that your brain works on


it's not left and right side but like just two systems that your brain generally works on it's just we just name it type one and type two lah so there's like a fast thinking and slow thinking so when you say something why are you smiling like that


like, can can can you try clap at me like this sarcastic !huh!, no what it's just, it's just that the two system just talks about like how if you like you will have this reactive brain like when you see something easy right you will tend to generate this answer that you


immediately think of but it might not be correct so you if you think that the question is easy right you will not use your other system that you use for deep thinking to see whether this is correct or not, ya so I think it fits into


oh there is no specific names for it it's just the guy who wrote the book just said like how these two system works but there's like no definition of like, is it a part of the brain or like is there a name for it it's just type one and type two is just how how we describe it


, ya


oh, wait so, it's really directly proportionate to all three and all three


but I think you did, oh, aren't you an outlier


how much did I get for PSLE [orh], I suddenly remember, I got two two four, and then the school I wanted to go was my bro's school eh, eh we graduated the same time was it eh no no no he was he was one year earlier than me ya it was the #Fu Hua# sec you know


the fully white uniform, it's just that they had chinese chess in their CCA, their express right was two four zero


eh was it two three two or two four zero okay it was like somewhere, two two eh two two you know two, then my batch, the at first I went Huayi what Huayi was like two two five the previous batch then it went down so I managed to get in like I was surprised that oh people lower than me also got in lah and then it wasn't very far from my house so I was like very glad also


no , that's why I I from someone who is just you know very zen playing chess right to suddenly someone !woo! badminton my way you know, I I went there to slowly just play for like chill purpose but I ended up like being some competitive killing you know


I was forced into it, I did not choose this path on my own, I chose the CC what I just had the idea that I I thought that I was a very weak person and I wanted to be someone who was stronger


ya I I had the idea I think at P six my dad first time made this comment to say that I am fat then I look at myself okay, choose badminton so I have been sitting down drinking too much tea playing too much chess to become fat I suppose but me looking back at my P six picture now how skinny I was


, you know my dad is like the kind who is quiet quiet then usually he doesn't you know he's just like either quiet or he's angry


so I mean when we were young I think it's because of the family situation that's why he was always this grumpy guy you know but he usually don't make jokes like that you know so when he say this kind of thing I just like, you know what I took it very personally


maybe but you don't suddenly look at your daughter and you're like you fat girl so weird okay so weird


you know what I I partially of me just felt that like maybe I was too scrawny also I didn't know that like being scrawny was seen as a good thing by society but I was too scrawny for my own eyes


I just thought like you know I need to be stronger maybe because my mom is working and then my, kind of like figures that I look at are like my dad and my bro so I feel like I'm too weak like in this presence of these two men, this very weird logic ya


but I was still this screen is very funny, it was like flickering as you roll over, look at that look at that


yes, I just I just thought like I would do some sports and also for fun cause I thought that badminton was a fun thing, it it doesn't seem like a fun thing, like you don't see the competitive side like you know you always used to that then you will just play normally that kind until I didn't know that people would smash straight to the ground I never saw that in my life before


so I, hit the other guy, (uh huh)


wait by the racket or by the shuttle, wait, slap your face with the racket , !aiya!


!huh! then you must be facing them for them to slap your face like that what


I am very curious how did this happen, ya ya,


are you a fly, are you a fly, this is hilarious


uh ya eh actually I I think about it I, I think when I was in primary school also like cause I couldn't decide on CCA because as a kid like what hobbies would I have, so I there wasn't like a no they didn't have a chinese chess CCA I really stumbled into there by pure luck because I wasn't competitive I mean I was


keen to learn as a kid but I didn't think that I will take that up in school, so I was just walking around like cause primary school at like P three you get to choose your CCA that time, and then


no lah P one they don't even let you join CCA okay, and, cause my school was P one and P two was like afternoon class it's only P three when you go to the morning class that you take up more responsibility as well, so they I actually stood outside the badminton hall and then they had like all the shuttles pulled down and then I look at the people inside and they were like playing like they knew how to play already then I was like intimidated standing outside


okay so I don't think I'm going in there cause they pull down all the door and then I'm like this very shy girl who gonna like open up door and like hi can I join so weird right don't even know how to join is like they are already a, ya is like a established club and then I was you know how short I am I was already scrawny


you cannot imagine this little girl just going there and then like, so I was just walking around until like somebody came up to me, I think I was just sitting at canteen don't know what to do, you are given three weeks to choose your CCA then they said would you like to join the games club


oh a kid hearing the word games how happy, I wouldn't care about anything in the world if it's a CCA that I have to clear, every three hours per week might as well go and join something fun right okay board games I am on yes


and is really go there and play board games and I'm like how easy my life is I get to go and just game every single week of my life, it's every Friday like seven to ten o'clock something like that, ya lah but they I mean they will start the simple ones there are a lot of


very cheap board games that I really learn of, but we started with like you know what's the game of life, you know heard of it, no there's there's oh no oh no I did not trigger that


oh ya ya then you will then <mandarin>你会走走走:ni hui zou zou zou</mandarin> is like walking through your life oh you get married at this certain step then you step one, it it's like this milestones


ya then I also I could also play like sudoku and, word game, sudoku is the, (uh huh) ya ya the box box box then you need to, one to nine


as a kid right I really hate sudoku, I didn't know what was going on, too much for me but I I grew to love sudoku a lot ya like sudoku is one of my leisure games these days, you looking at me like what kind of monster are you


and then


the thing is you cannot make a mistake in the first place, cause the moment you work right then like you know the other things like you will bring forward like math question like that you will just carry forward you only get you answer what, ya so I had you know they had games like monopoly also but people will always fight over the popular games lah like cluedo monopoly


then yes chinese chess, cluedo is the one that like I think somebody was killed then you need to find who's the killer something like that, everybody must play one character then


the character will have something to hide or something like that then you have to find out like who is the real killer if you are the detective, or if you are not then you just try not to be killed by the killer or something like that, for primary school kids cluedo


funny


ya, it was one of the more complicated games I would say ya cluedo was more complicated one, so I rarely play cluedo it was popular, and then most of the people in the club were like boys so they were okay with chinese chess


somehow they knew how to play chinese chess, and then they had like they had they started having like competitions for, ah the the various, eh how come my bro was inside


oh no no my bro was not in, no I I suddenly realised when I went to the chinese chess competition right, my bro was in the competition but my bro is not in the same CCA as me then I was like, oh wait he he knew the teacher he knew the CCA teacher but my bro was like in wushu or something


ya but I I went to competition with my bro and then like, it was it was fun while it lasted and I think it was a headache while it lasted too


it's very weird, oh ya it trains you I think this is why I'm very good in overthinking now, because you know you literally just sit there and then every move the person make then you like oh what's he gonna do what's he gonna do he's gonna come and hit me right and then like I'm going to defend myself


you gonna overthink so much because in a thing in a chess board there's a limited move that you can make what so you will have to always think is this person having a motive you know or is it a trap, then but, ya


oh for that ah I don't know as a kid I played very flexibly so like it was kind of like, it was kind of like by oh, can we


ya I think so


ya super loud , okay okay, ya ya ya okay I adjust the volume already


then hor then hor wait wait I tell you what happened just now haha so I was driving to your area right and then I told you already I I miss no I didn't miss two turns I mistaken two turns as the turn that was supposed to to go to your area


so you know I'm supposed to see Jurong point then I turn to your area right, River Valley no no okay I think it's the River Valley side it's the Lakeside side


ya so I I come in from chinese garden then, ya so I miss two turns then I was already in the lane to turn


then I was waiting ya I was waiting for the for the arrow light the the green arrow light to tell me to turn, ya then after that right I realise eh like wrong leh like it doesn't feel right so so I went so so I drive out of the lane and then I went straight


and then for the next traffic light this same thing happened again then the people at the back looking at me like, what the heck is this girl doing, ya lucky hor right now still during phase one so not a lot of cars


ya and then hor I was quite lucky that I I I start driving quite quite late lah in a way not the <mandarin>七八点:qi ba dian</mandarin> those type, ya so if it's like the <mandarin>七八点:qi ba dian</mandarin> then I'm like Siam lah I GG man


ah, but your but to enter your area right I thought is one direction only


oh <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> meh, ah !aiya! okay then you know after after I passed to you the ice cream right no no before I even make so many mistakes there is one thing about me cause it has been six months since I last drove


work which work, oh Shihlin ah not really eh, not really ya cause Shihlin everyday if if I work right as in every time I work is around ten to eleven hours like that depends on depends on weekday or weekend so very Bo Hua to actually park in the car park there leh even though is free for I think the first few hours and there are I think there are some incentives lah to use their car park right now cause nobody driving mah everybody work from home then even the office drivers eh the office workers they just they just order delivery mah


ya lor that's why, ya I hardly work there lah, ya cause I


during my finals I didn't drive mah as in during my finals I was just in the in on on on my table and then studying and stuff so <mandarin>完全没有驾车到:wan quan mei you jia che dao</mandarin> then until now


and then right just now when I was when I was trying to go to another lane right I didn't realise there's a car beside me chicken Neh-Neh I see the car then I immediately oh shit


didn't, ya <mandarin>那个人让路给我:na ge ren rang lu gei wo</mandarin> but just right in time right, when <mandarin>那个人让路:na ge ren rang lu</mandarin> right <mandarin>没有没有没有没有:mei you mei you mei you mei you</mandarin> eh <mandarin>没有刮到:mei you gua dao</mandarin> lah


, (ppc), eh you know just now why I stop there or not, ya ya ya ya the GPS


then then I thought I thought you will come over and knock on the window and then eh you okay or not ah,


my father like <mandarin>哪里有人驾车像你这样的:na li you ren jia che xiang ni zhe yang de</mandarin> err when you when you cut into other people's lane right <mandarin>你要看车的吗哪里有人这样的:ni yao kan che de ma na li you ren zhe yang de</mandarin> cause cause you know we got three three main mirrors right, the rear mirror ya ya ya and then when when <mandarin>你刺过去旁边:ni ci guo qu pang bian</mandarin> obviously <mandarin>你要看旁边的:ni yao kan pang bian de</mandarin> right


uh <mandarin>中间那个:zhong jian na ge</mandarin> right, ya, ya ya the car is is is like a forty five degree behind me <mandarin>这样子:zhe yang zi</mandarin> lor <mandarin>所以我是看不到它的:suo yi wo shi kan bu dao ta de</mandarin> especially


ya, ya


ya ya those sport car usually only sport cars have lah unless is like those white van !aiya! then I can see ah but today this car I think is like navy or red lah usually I I can't see those (ppc)


ya lor precisely <mandarin>真的是吓死我:zhen de shi xia si wo</mandarin> ok but anyways I am alive, the car is unscratched it's good good thing, oh ya oh ya then !aiya! these days these days uh you remember I told you about the job right


so, !aiya!, it's Wednesday, ya apparently they told me because I think we had a call


last Thursday or Friday ah I think is Friday [bah] then then after that they say either start on the fifteenth or on the twenty second, ya but during the call right they say they will either they will do two things one is to send me the official employment letter the offer letter today and then <mandarin>另外一个是:ling wai yi ge shi</mandarin> uh to


to to to to create a group chat, with the com and band director and the HR director, !hanna! but then hor


ya sia maybe maybe cause I negotiate too much then I I think like eh <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> like regret


ya, ya lor true, true, !oi! hello why you like that


!aiya!, ya, they are all berry


uh actually I give you one I give the birthday girl one, and then the others I'm like, for a minute I thought you were going to say your birthday I'm like oh my god to be honest hor


I don't really remember your birthday eh it's in November was it no on November in November, ya sia no leh totally leh not at all leh, I have zero <mandarin>影像:ying xiang</mandarin> of your birthday other than the red and the green pants oh !huh!


nope, nope, okay okay and then two days ago, how how did you all celebrate birthday


oh shit, oh,


Russian , no


is a spin thing or is a, bingo ball, okay, okay


(uh huh), (uh huh) and then


, damn


and then and then how, ya, okay


!huh!


protest loot, #si bei kuai lan#, ya sia


oh my god, but but you got what you wanted or not


, manmade sauna, , Jialat


(uh huh), !wah! you serve green tea


seriously, but yours is the Chinese chess, holy shit


I can never do Chinese chess man okay not even English chess I can never err I did I did, as in I I know how the how the chess piece move, oh <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> meh


ya ya ya ya ya so I usually just wait for everyone to you know <mandarin>近来很靠近很靠近:jin lai hen kao jin hen kao jin</mandarin> or even I think they are within the palace already palace then after that I go and use the <mandarin>士:shi</mandarin> to go and eat eat eat eat eat


cause I don't know how to play as in my my my my dad knows how to play quite well lah but then


ya sia no cause my dad hor when he teaches this kind of chess piece hor to him is so easy right and it's like, cause <mandarin>在家里:zai jia li</mandarin> nobody can compete with him mah, ya like he's always the winner so he so every time when he teaches right #si bei# what one cause he will just


then I'm like what the heck, ya sia, !aiyo!, Jialat !aiya! then so eventually we moved onto my childhood my legit childhood which is economics finance


say what, eh no leh no leh cause I think I think this kind of like to be financially, ya cause he even he don't know some stuff


like ya it's it's a always learning thing what, like right now right now we are also learning, ya like because of the crisis then what what changes what it doesn't change what is a good buy what to do right now this kind of thing lah so it's like a


ya, true ya lor, you sure or not


you sure or not, !aiya!, eh but you want create account or not create account first lah that's the first step man, online ah


ya ya I I can intro you, okay lah cause okay, err usually for your


eh but then hor you know the web the web that I I I I I what you call that, I transact with or trade ya trade, that I trade with right it's a relatively small company


that's why they charge a very, as in they are okay cause you know whenever you trade you need to err have a intermediary right, ya so it's either you use all the big four banks or whatever like all the OCBC UOB those kind of banks right where I feel like they overpriced their fee ah their transaction fee


ya true but a lot of people are using those platforms like for IOCBC I know is like twenty five dollars for UOB is around eighteen dollars


per transaction like for instance right now right okay like okay okay for instance ah my spending capacity is twenty K so everytime I invest twenty K right, for instance lah okay everytime I invest in everytime I invest twenty K right


the the transaction fee will be twenty five dollars on IOCBC, and then if it's like I don't know lah someone like my dad who has more purchasing power suddenly all the business term come out is like okay if let's say he he transact two hundred K which is like one more zero compared to me


, ya ya okay okay let's simplify things !aiya! !aiya! whatever ah it's very simplified already, ya the cost is the same no no matter whatever like whatever investment amount you put in something like that lah


of course lah of course lah


have, have but, okay maybe cause I didn't use those those, big four bank platform ya for mine is one flat rate, of course there is a minimum rate lah


but you just <mandarin>给它:gei ta</mandarin> lor like <mandarin>八块钱:ba kuai qian</mandarin> okay what


Friday, Friday, oh ya man


ya sia I think it'll be like overcrowded and stuff


still can spread damn easily, seriously


!huh! I'm looking forward to as in okay yes I will go out but I wouldn't really dine out though and I don't think I will hang out also eh like, like, as in what what what they say is true ah even though they open up uh uh during phase two but we are not


as in we are we're fighting against a virus that is still there, ya that's why as in okay lah maybe it's just me trying to avoid the crowd also ya but then


ya, ya, ya and I thought last Saturday <mandarin>有有有:you you you</mandarin> increase <mandarin>一点点:yi dian dian</mandarin> no meh


I think last Saturday was eighteen community spread or something isn't it, ya is like one of the highest err within community lah


Jialat sia


true, eh but then hor how is her business, oh


but then phase two I think a lot of a lot of companies will open up lah then business will come back really soon, no way I think the other way round leh


because you see ah currently a lot of as in people in the workforce are a mixture right but then bosses of the companies in workforce right I feel like they are still mostly from the uh baby boomers' generation


ya I I feel lah if if not the next generation after baby boomer which I forgot what was it, is it X, is it


I have no idea man, no lah, are we gen Z or are we millennials


, oh okay, ya


ya sia in the middle of the conversation I just gotta shoot shoot from all directions, !aiyo! Jialat ya but then you see right I think most bosses or supervisors right who has more control over workers like like how they would how they will actually how how worker's job will actually take place are usually from baby boomer generation or gen X which I think they are very less as in they are they are more resistant towards changes


ya, ya and do you really think <mandarin>三个月来他们能改变这么多:san ge yue lai ta men neng gai bian zhe me duo</mandarin> do you really think they give a shit about new normal they will just tell you oh just <mandarin>带你的口罩:dai ni de kou zhao</mandarin> and then <mandarin>继续来上班:ji xu lai shang ban</mandarin> lah


whether or not is essential ah


oh my god, eh but your friend is still inside right


!huh!


(mmhmm), but the thing is he should work in related field what


it's called adulting, , no lah <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> fear of adulting maybe


ya, ya ya, ya


honours student, no, nice try


ya, then how he even get his honours


then how is he gonna do his psychology as in does his passion comes in terms of, psychology aspect as well


he just has, different interest in different stuff


but how has it got to do with psychology though, Moshi-Moshi


yes, hello hello hello, ya ya ya


nice, miracle , and then and then


ya sia, you know


that's why he should be an engineer mah


that is quite engineer too, ya, ya ya


but I think he will eh because I feel like, ya


ya lor, but is he happy there, oh, ya


ya, I don't think he's up for that given that he's an introvert


bones, Jialat sia he


but I guess is different when you sit at home and learn coding with your parents nagging at you and your parents looking down on you I think that's a different thing a whole new different thing eh


eh no no no no no my parents don't really force me to do to to go out to work leh, ya


ah ya sia, ya


ya true


!huh! this leads to procrastinating meh


why you like that one, okay, life


true true, oh me no eh I'm depressed, not so much because actually I feel lah everytime I depressed [orh] is mainly because of my acne speaking of depression


ya !duh!, ya sia ya ya it'll be not not an issue at all, ya as in as in okay maybe not at all maybe I'm exaggerating things a bit here and there


yea yea yea it has been with me since since puberty leh like primary three onwards, that's like


I don't know leh like every time something grows out I'm I'm quite unhappy about it


I don't know why <mandarin>他会长出来:ta hui zhang chu lai</mandarin> lor, like like seriously eh like, like oh my god


ya, ya ya, me too me too


eh, initially I was like that, like, ya I wanted to stay true to myself like okay


okay lah maybe, maybe cause I didn't go through the O level thing, my N level I still like that <mandarin>顺顺过:shun shun guo</mandarin> one leh I didn't really ya


but my but my profs, remember the one I told you my prof actually took our PSLE score, and then in class he gave us I think he gave us like


one minute to do as many questions as you can, I think is like sixty questions, ya ya as in it can be really simple questions like err


like, uh, maths question, like six plus three plus nine minus this one equals to how much, ya ya something like that so he will just be flashing like sixty questions on screen for one minute


eh for ten seconds each, no no no so so if if he if he slows down right, eh no no if we didn't manage to catch his question right then we will just leave out that question lah but usually the question is so simple that we will get it


no no no no no is his <mandarin>真的是容易到:zhen de shi rong yi dao</mandarin> is seriously very easy ah, ya but then the thing is the easier it is the trickier it gets because our brain just


thinks faster and we just okay this one we confirm know one, you get what I mean


I don't know man, err, we ask how to spell something like a word a fragrance more, oh is it


okay so so your brain just thinks faster than, because it is so simple like <mandarin>比如说:bi ru shuo</mandarin> I tell you I ask you how to spell fragrance like immediately you can spell it out, ya so your your brain just overlook that that


you get what I mean, you read a lot of books


left and right, two systems left left and right side


you cannot see it meh, okay okay


ya, okay and these two systems are called


oh okay what type ten and type two eh but then hor is quite true eh as in the the the the the analysis that my prof made right is quite true leh I mean ya lah it slapped me right in the face but then it is quite true cause eventually he score all our IQ score


and then he made an he made an comparison between our PSLE score our IQ score and our GPA currently, ya so is like your PSLE if your PSLE score eh no if your IQ score is low most probably your PSLE and your GPA right now is low


ya, ya, okay okay lah like among two thousand over of his student right only one or two outliers


no I am not my PSLE score quite bad one I think it's like less than two hundred,


how much how much, see quite good what, which is


ya I know Fuhua sec but then I don't know as in I've heard of Fuhua sec but I don't know anything about it, seriously


eh but you two two four, !aiyo! then


okay, but were there Chinese chess, oh damn, (uh huh)


is your competitive nature lah, ya sia


seriously


ya sia, how how, was he trying to just Suan Siao you you know what's Suan Siao


ya, ya, oh, I see in a nasty mood


(hmm) or is he in a nasty mood, cause he's going through mid life crisis, I don't know that's my assumption, maybe what <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> what


uh


Nani, !huh!, !huh!, can see or not


okay pineapple, okay okay


nope, every time, I I only see people as in every time when I see badminton games going on right I am so worried about the doubles


ya and then every time I play right, it always hits my face lah somehow


ya my mum also did that when we were trying to learn when she's trying to teach me badminton, ya is either and it's usually not when they pull back the racket is everytime when they smack it comes right into my face I don't know why man and that's why it hurts


no lah it's cause they did okay this one I need to adjust the, ya sia, okay, so they do this oh okay wait let me move further so they do this right so when you smack it has to be like like like that right


okay I don't know what's the professional way of doing it I don't know is like like that or like that okay, but then I know the thing is the racket always come to my face, I'm like


I don't know lah !aiya! I just, is super good I don't know lah everytime everytime one leh then I okay from that day onwards badminton is not a very interesting sport I'm gonna learn it just to know it then that's all


ya other than Chinese chess


(uh huh)


ya ya I was about to ask you you join you join badminton in primary one ah, oh, ya sia okay so primary three lah, ah


oh, ya ya ya


ya, you gonna attract everyone's attention like literally everyone's, ya


ya, but you all play like various board games lah in a way


my game of life stocks and shares


, ya ya ya I I think I know I think I know the one that needs to spin one right and then don't know walk how many steps how many steps, ya, ya ya


wait wait what's sudoku sudoku is the the number number, vertical horizontal is one to nine right


why,


okay leh I mean, !wah! I get quite irritated when hor, I am at like last few, vertical or horizontal then !wah! piang eh I realised I did something wrong !wah! I feel like tearing the whole page out


ya lor, ya lor


what's Cluedo, what's Cluedo, sounds very dark


!aiya! don't even try man I'm confused, why why are they teaching kids such a Chim and dark, kind of, game


you kill people <mandarin>还不:hai bu</mandarin> gore ah,


okay, what's with the sudden realisation


oh, oh, oh okay


Jialat I cannot appreciate this kind of thing but I heard that it is good to train the brain lah, sorry man is not a good thing


seriously, but my father say there is a certain strategy to it like you have to memorise all the strategy


are we supposed to stop it


[orh], ya


oh right , ah that's very cool by the way like philosophy, like I was thinking also if I because I'm going to art social science right then philosophy is one of the, courses like <tamil>நானும்:naanum</tamil> actually if I want philosophy <tamil>படிக்கல:padikkala</tamil> so but uh only in the second year I'd be like choosing my major but I think I was also considering that philosophy will be very cool too


study I just feel like, it's just arts and bachelor of arts and social science ya so it's <tamil>அது வந்து:athu vanthu</tamil> like super generic you know then only the second year you will choose what you want to specialise


anyway ya, uh but I I haven't been up to anything else just on friday the elections then I was just watching it on TV and was like my first time like <tamil>முதல் தடவ:muthal thadava</tamil> watching news on TV


and then ya you know it was my first time watching news and then the time that I was watching the news was like at two AM because the results is supposed to be released at eight PM but then like the delay I think to ten O clock because people were still queueing


then uh they still had to count the votes everything all got delayed until two AM, that's when they started slowly saying all the results


ya ya, ya, but <tamil>உனக்கு ஏதாச்சும் புரிஞ்சுச்சா ஏதாச்சும்:unakku ethachum purinjucha ethachum</tamil> when you were watching


ya ya


same same ya <tamil>நான் வந்து:naan vanthu</tamil> channel news asia <tamil>பாத்தேன்:paathaen</tamil> so <tamil>எல்லாமே:ellaamae</tamil> english ya, don't know why your father go what Vasantham, but ya, right okay, okay lah but


a lot of people saying that this year elections were the most like, ya like even the whole energy surrounding like in the virtual elections, was different from the previous years because this was the first time


no like singapore elections in general do you know how it like there are different GRC and then different parties contest right


and then previous years like twenty fifteen and all the other years usually <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> like it's PAP automatically everywhere in all GRC


other years opposition only in some GRC not all, ya, so I remember I think not okay not I remember but like my mum was telling me that on when we're watching the GE on TV that uh last year I mean previous elections all


ah, when when election time come some people I think #choa chu kang# also the there was, no opposition it was just PAP so we just vote for PAP we don't need to vote for any other I mean we want we can vote for opposition team also lah but like it doesn't affect our GRC because it'll still be PAP so you just like


you just have to like, the I think it was only workers party also like there was not so many opposition parties you know last time but then now is like, now is like a lot of opposition parties and then everyone everyone had to take care of their own GRC like they cannot just don't care because they're stuff happening in each person ya and then


oh I don't know I don't I don't understand I've no idea like I remember last year not last year but twenty fifteen apparently err


I think Bishan GRC, it was they call it walk over that means it was automatically PAP, like they didn't, I don't know lah because it this one also like this is my first time like reading up and trying to understand what's going on you know


but ya, ARR, ya ya ya


oh ya obviously, I'm sure there were like interesting stuff happening back then also that our I don't know, , ya last time it was just like #lee kuan yew# forever then


but then ya no I was thinking like if thirteen years old me were to think about politic ah I will never think about politics like my world was so small when I was thirteen years old everything was just you know secondary school and then homework the next class test


now it's like maybe circuit breaker and then I'm starting to do and I'm like reading up on what's happening you know


no lah no I thought no need I went to the, at that time because I think it was last week thursday


just scan QR code and enter ya, is it different library, okay but book to be safe lah, just book to be safe


oh no one want to go ya


if you like philosophy I mean I also like philosophy like it's very fun to think about those stuff, I was watching this video I it was a very long time ago so I don't like remember exactly but it was something about


they were talking about what is this notion of self and I, and I'm the whole video was so mind trippy like I can send you the video later but it was something about how,


ya like uh it's called they call it the paradigm of self okay just search it and read about it I don't know how to explain it but it was just I remember watching the video and feeling super confused but also very amazed you know ya


complicated ya, ya ya ya


oh ya no apparently


uh apparently this was his first time like bringing up the idea of running for president and then like he didn't even ya and he didn't even do it like he didn't even do any official like registering or anything like he missed that deadline in law of states


so I don't know what he's up to like all he


I don't know and then like okay all I know is that the only thing he's done as uh intending to work to run for president was just announcing on Twitter that I'm going to run for president and then he didn't do anything about it ya exactly


and then obviously kim K retweet and like you know helped him help, I don't know, and I didn't know that like I only just found out that apparently kanye west used to be a trump supporter of trump


I I don't think so like with all the BLM and stuff I I he better not still be a if not I don't know what to say, ya


he he was ya I don't know maybe because last time I don't know trump trump was like the stupidest guy I don't know why he even supported him but and


make dates


yes I think I understand, it's a bit more confusing


okay ya


oh because the states were bigger, smaller bigger right because less but , okay okay


no I I didn't I didn't know how it works in US, ya


I'm so worried for america, ya


anyway , how how is your final project coming, not coming


when's your deadline


, oh I I just started my first


ya like my first day actually not just I did it last week this week wednesday like the past wednesday uh, and then I don't know when I'm supposed to go back because I'm just part time staff right then I emailed the like the HR executives about whether I can get my schedule because I still I'm still giving tuition so like I it's better if I know the schedules


so that I can arrange my tuition accordingly and then I email a person on friday the person still haven't get back to me so I don't know, ya I went one day already then the manager thinks I'm gonna run away but I don't know how to convince him that I'll come but ya


!aiyo! ya


oh my god that's so stressful


ya like very inefficient, ya I think I understand the stress ya


oh, ya I think now it makes sense right like when I apply for a job they take so long to they don't even respond to me and then ya


I will never work like HR job, but but it is though like now we see we know what's going on behind the scenes that's why we're not annoyed but it's actually like


very hurtful when they don't respond because they think like something's wrong with you , ya like at least say, at least say like no or something instead of just ghosting you know, ya


really really reminds you that you're not the only person in the whole world, ya


but <tamil>ஏன் அவ்ளோ:yaen avlo</tamil> main <tamil>இருக்கணும்:irukkanum</tamil> like when


ya, quit <tamil>பண்ண முடியாது:panna mudiyaathu</tamil> is it oh


ya, like <tamil>இந்த மாறி நேரத்துல:intha maari nerathula</tamil> supportive ah <tamil>இருக்கணும்:irukkanum</tamil> not scolding


oh ya I mean I wouldn't know what to do also but <tamil>இப்போ எல்லாமே:ippo ellaamae</tamil> okay right


right ya


(hmm), you were saying that you were like searching a lot of questions about philosophy how about you showed me one


uh no okay ya ya I'm listening and I understand I mean I just no no I just, Google it also like I was reading it on Google while listening to you but then ya and then so you're you were saying that that completely misses the point of whether god exists or not but then


I don't know some person said, some person said the question is is god willing to prevent evil but not evil but he should be able, maybe god is not willing to prevent evil


ya ya


ya like beyond human comprehension ya


no ya ya I understand, but then right there's also like if you look at it from that point of view, like we don't know that god like for atheists they will argue that god might not have created like everything was


mankind produced by mankind, then, ya


big bang theory is big bang theory is the, it's not a belief but it's a scientific theory, that the world started with just like, stardust like just particles in space and then they were moving in space and then they all suddenly collided


and then bang planet earth


ya uh ya


right ya, no ya I understand


you you be trained to be objective though like you will learn, ya if not you fail all your classes then good luck to you


but they say the problem may be described either experientially or theoretically how, what experiment are they gonna conduct


oh not experimentally, okay , that's very interesting


I thought, ya I didn't know why they made the like social sciences super hard to get into I thought it should be the other way round, right demand supply


, wait I have a question to ask you, it's not philosophy but it's like, ya like you can still think about it but if you could be one person for a day who do you wanna be


I paid to be michelle obama , michelle obama because she's very cool ya because I've always thought that in like like in my future like as a career woman I would want to be like those kind of


empowering other woman you know like super inspiring and michelle obama is like exactly that but actually she's actually super cool and then there was this documentary on Netflix about her I don't know if you got watch but it was basically about


she actually came from she was saying that she actually came from like her family came from a neighbourhood that's, nothing great like it was a normal like suburban neighbourhood, and then like her family was not rich or well to do then she like slowly worked her way up to


yes ya ya which I thought was like very cool so what's your answer, it it it can it doesn't have to be a real life person also maybe I'm making it harder for you but it can also be a cartoon character


or what okay okay I think I made it too easy for you I see, ya


ya I mean like that then I say I wanna be miley cyrus ,


but it's like one day will be enough because I imagine be super stressful you know, ya and like be at your best all the time


oh that's a very good question I don't know I think I think actually no


ya, ya


I have no idea no, oh,


uh friends <tamil>அதெல்லாம் நடக்குன்னு எதிர்பாத்துட்டு இருப்பாங்க:athellaam nadakunnu ethirpaathuttu irupaanga</tamil> like <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> it already <tamil>தெரிஞ்சு இருக்கணும்:therinju irukkanum</tamil> so like <tamil>அப்படி நடக்கும் போது:appadi nadakkum pothu</tamil> obviously they cannot complain like they knew about it


I know local YouTuber right so like


ya but <tamil>கண்டிப்பா:kandippaa</tamil> I would choose to not be famous, no no definitely


err ya definitely not ya no of course like, like <tamil>எனக்கு:enakku</tamil> to have more money and be, like rich but and then again rich is like subjective you know like for me I just want to have like nice house comfortable lifestyle but to be the like crazy rich billionaire never because I realise like


with money <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> actually it's a lot of responsibility like what you do with the money, and ya ya


ya and like ya is like your problems and your desires will start becoming more and more trivial the more money you have


that's interesting


your <tamil>வீட்டு:veetu</tamil> your room <tamil>கதவு:kathavu</tamil> is it closed


there's like some the TV is so loud


try to like message your, message your father ask him to


ya, maybe like hearing problem, but you can't go now and tell him because you you will disturb our


can you message your brother message your brother ask him to ask your father to, it's super loud I can hear like some political thing going on I can hear


how ah our recording, ya


throughout the whole thing , okay


ya, is that is that philosophical, what but what's how do people argue obviously there's free will right


oh what we are all part of a we're all part of a simulation and we are controlled by a higher being and there's no free will, ya


no because there's some there's some being controlling you


err, freedom like the ability to do whatever you want whenever you want, that is freedom, is that the question


but amos Yee was he's too he no, I think freedom comes with the responsibility to like say it, in a diplomatic manner


wait he was arrested, oh poor thing , so that's


ya ya, no but I think they arrest because oh , it's okay when he come home he will off the TV no but I think, he was arrested not because like


is to send a message to other people that, if you abuse your freedom this is what will happen to you it's kind of like trying to keep, order in the country, if not can you imagine, it's like can you imagine I don't think they're saying that if you're rude they'll arrest you they just want to make sure other people don't think it's just okay to say stuff in that manner


then then what would you do to someone like amos Yee


like if you are the if you are the government, but if you look at america now freedom of speech look at what's happening to america now


no what I'm saying is, that's like a certain responsibility that the people must have when it, if they are given, freedom of speech


I don't know like people when they passed racist comments or stuff, like they're not arrested for actually maybe they are I don't know but it's


ya ya I know I know what you mean, no definitely not I just I don't know I don't know what I'm trying to say, I just feel like with freedom of speech there should be


like the people should exercise responsibility on how they say the stuff they want to say like when you're stating our opinion you have to say respectfully and, you know, proper language


I didn't know he was sent to IMH


like if anything I thought it was actually quite smart, just a bit a bit in brazen, like it was very brave, ya ya exactly


I don't know I okay I don't know I just I I feel but I'm saying like from the government's point of view they arrest probably because they want to send out the message that


right ya


actually what what did he say about #lee kuan yew#


but I mean okay I won't say so much now like in this recording but you know they say that singapore is like very democratic, and everything but, no because, with the elections everything I've been reading a lot about like what's going on and everything and actually even beyond that before that like my one of my mum's friend used to be this uh lecturer at


I don't know which school but he used to be a lecturer then now he's like I be teacher but basically he's like super smart and then he studied all of, political science and, A level IB ya err and he's like super smart he study political science and everything he was from RI


so he was like he's a super smart person and he used to tell me a lot of stuff about how like, we think singapore's like super democratic but actually a lot of stuff, is like low key, communism ya


I said low key because actually it's not as bad if you compare to other countries and we're not deprived of anything when it comes to like, safety , you know like our privileges and all we're still okay like our


lifestyle standard of living is, fine nothing to complain about it's just very hidden so we cannot you know, like


oh ya, ya ya


[orh], ya ya


ya he's just playing the cute old person card, ya ya


no and the thing ya and the thing is that like once you learn about it it's so hard how you wish you can just unlearn it like you wish you can still believe that oh singapore is perfect place democratic society but you know once you know about it you cannot unlearn


you know I was watching the interview the doorstep interview of #pritam singh# the, he's the workers' party, I think , I don't know which I think is Aljunied GRC he's the head of the


ya but basically, workers' party and then because they won like three GRC right they got ten seats in parliament so they did a doorstep interview and it was like super sudden like he wasn't expecting the interview he just came out of the lift and and all the reporters were there


and the way he, said like the speech he gave was so, like you can tell was super sincere and like like he was saying how , because I think one of the reporters asked him like oh uh you won forty percent of the


no no your your vote was like sixty forty, for one of the GRC like his GRC it was sixty forty and so that's like super like a super high margin win, and like for opposition party then what are your thoughts on it like how like how do you feel about the win and then he said I wouldn't focus on the sixty percent I would actually focus on the forty percent and ya like


uh like the forty percent for those who still, uh think that be like for for those who didn't cast the votes with us please do feel that please don't feel that you cannot reach out to us and like I will still wanting to come reach out to us and tell us like what you think is it that we should do to help you more what you think is


we're still doing wrong like don't think that we can like don't think we're separated just because of this and there was like there's such a, ya compared to PAP PAP will be only like oh oh focusing only those who vote on PAP then others will be like given least priority you know what I mean is like


ya after watching that video I was, no which person what's her name


oh no I very very specific story but no I don't know, no no I it's they've done a lot of stuff like that like ya


anyway uh but not not everyone in PAP is like bad you know it's just


ya ya ya, and it's just more of it is surfacing up now and the tolerance of people is like, reducing you know ya


ya but then again eighteen plus wouldn't know anything that is going on, exactly ya


but you know the new GRC Sengkang GRC they they got voted like WP was contesting in Sengkang and they won WP won and Sengkang is like one of the new GRC is like a lot of people in Sengkang are the younger generation people


a lot of them voted for ya and then there was like a big, celebration going on, when Sengkang when WP won, but basically it just shows that the younger generation, is aware of like is very well versed with what's going on politically so when


ya ya, like they don't care about like, fear or sticking with PAP or loyalty or any bullshit like that you know


but ya ya I guess ya,


ya ya


but like the ya I mean ya you see PAP using like like the only reason PAP is winning is because of like the fear that some of them have


and like once we can start voting in next election people start voting already it's gonna be super different because like now already the margin that PAP won by so slim, and you can imagine like next election is gonna be like PAP needs to really start thinking and reevaluating ya


but I just feel like they got arrogant


workers' party has been around around for very long though, like ya, uh that's because only recently we've been following the news but apparently they've been


oh ya, , was there even elections in two thousand eleven because every five years two thousand ten


oh ya, oh no that's like my OCD is coming


if like it's not perfect five , uh, what were we talking about so confusing ya


ya I also feel like if, I feel like they shouldn't have so many different opposition parties it's like super confusing, got a independent party you know like the one guy and then and then he got two person


ya, I think anyway you know apparently like you have to put some deposit in order to run for elections and if you don't if you ya and we don't hit fifteen percent like uh you won't get refunded back that means this person you have to pay fifteen thousand or something to run for election and then


he not getting anything out of it I don't know I think, ya ya like an example of too much money don't know what to do


and then oh okay this thing because I you were watching the live telecast right of the elections, like when, okay this one is like a super it's very pathetic like very detailed trivial


thing that happen in the live telecast but they were announcing the results for, #ang mo kio# GRC I think listed the the GRC that #lee hsien loong# was contesting for, so it was PAP versus reform party and then obviously PAP won because who the heck is reform party right so PAP won and obviously #lee hsien loong#


ya so obviously they will just put for him but then it was like it was like hundred hundred plus hundred thousand plus people voted for, #lee hsien loong# like PAP, but then forty eight thousand people voted for reform party and that's actually super significant like forty eight thousand people voted for reform party and when the like the person was announcing in the behind the stand like behind the podium and he was still announcing he was like in the mid way of saying oh PAP hundred nineteen thousand


and then reform party forty eight thousand and then they immediately cut into advertisement, like without without any without the proper ya without a proper like outro for advertisement they just immediately cut into advertisement and then like my friend was saying that it was because I don't know whether is true but my friend was saying that is because the forty eight thousands is actually very significant


so do you want to pass the kind to advertisement to make people forget that forty eight people voted for reform party, but, ya it was so interesting for I don't know anyway,


err <tamil>நான் எனக்கு வந்து புடிச்ச மாறி:naan enakku vanthu pudicha maari</tamil> (ya) <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> ah, philosophy <tamil>தான் இருந்துச்சு ஏனா:thaan irunthuchu yaenaa</tamil> is err the things in linguistics that I like is actually philosophy it's what I realised


so I I look through the modules and then it's like, quite interesting because <tamil>அது வந்து வாழ்க்கைய பத்தி யோசிக்கிற மாறி இருந்துச்சு:athu vanthu vaalkaiya pathi padikkira maari irunthuchu</tamil> and not like <tamil>படிக்கிற மாறி:padikkira maari</tamil> so like it's the stuff I think about when I'm procrastinating I don't know how to say like when I'm when I'm just doing nothing and this is the thing I'm interested in and like


think about so I think err it will be more fun to take something that I I already interested in instead of taking something new, ya , okay it's quite deep is like existence of god


and uh meaning of life this kind of stuff, and <tamil>எது:ethu</tamil> err like <tamil>ஏதாச்சும் செஞ்சா சரியா தவறுன்னு:ethachum senja sariyaa thavarannu</tamil> decide <tamil>பண்றது:pandrathu</tamil> is quite a hard thing because, ya is like no one actually has the right to say whether things are right or wrong and it's quite interesting lah because it's something that you think about and consider every single day ya and it's


ya so, so what were you up to, (mmhmm)


oh


oh <tamil>உன்னோட:unnoda</tamil> sorry <tamil>உன்னோட:unnoda</tamil> (oo) <tamil>பேரு என்னது:peru ennathu</tamil> oh okay okay, (mmhmm) okay


oh ya (uh huh) oh, oh you don't watch the news


oh ya (mmhmm), ya


ya I


oh not at all like like I just know the results like what the results are but they talk because he was watching Vasantham


, ya like <tamil>எனக்கு:enakku</tamil> tamil <tamil>புரியும் ஆனா ரொம்ப:puriyum aanaa romba</tamil> fast ah <tamil>பேசுனா புரிய கொஞ்ச நேரம் ஆகும்:pesunaa puriya konjam neram aagum</tamil> you know, ya oh


is I think he just prefers tamil action packed , ya (mmhmm) ya I think I could feel it also lah ya


I I think so which which one are you talking about like ya I think so ya ah ya ya ya I know this


[orh]


oh I didn't know it was the first time I thought there was always the opposition ya, oh I didn't know that ya


(mmhmm)


, I thought


oh, I thought if only PAP is there like you say that there if there is no opposition need to go and vote meh I thought is automatic win


okay,


I heard (mmhmm)


I think like people our age I think now are getting into elections like like getting to know about it because I think next time we have to vote also right, ya I think naturally at our age we'll just be interested because in primary school also even if it was this interesting I wouldn't have been interested


ya , actually I don't think so


ya , oh ya I've been I was thinking because I want to <tamil>நான்:naan</tamil> philosophy <tamil>எடுக்கனுன்னு நினைச்சுட்டு இருந்தே:edukkanunnu ninaichchuttu irunthae</tamil> right


no I went to search


oh maybe it's because I don't know eh, oh I'm going to book I don't know anyways !huh! what ya, because uh I think the whole point of booking is if it's too full but there were seventy nine out of eighty slots available so I think it was fine like our they would have let me in an anyway I think


ya oh because last time I used to read linguistic books right to like get some background now instead of that maybe philosophy that's what I'm thinking so that I don't go in without any knowledge then I get like overwhelmed by the content yes


(uh huh), oh my god okay


okay (mmhmm), I think is under I I went to search a bit lah I think is under metaphysics


it's it's like pretty I don't know it sounds very like, like very ya it's like the relationship between mind and body like it's very trippy ya it's like it makes you question but like question question everything like it's very weird ya I think that's fun lah


anyways speaking of elections uh you were talking about kanye west ran for president that day, err


ya senior on Twitter, uh, I thought in america is like there's like a blank and then if no one registered you can just put a random name at the blank like when you vote right there is this


trump and whatever and then there's a blank and then you put whatever you want and vote so I think he's expecting people to put in there I don't understand


okay that's professional , it's like what are they even doing it's it's so fake


he is still I think oh because he running for it also


ya literally against his own race and then like and like isn't wasn't trump like racist, in the beginning I don't know why kanye west ever supports him, right


oh because in america okay I don't know if you know this, I saw on Twitter lah it's like it it goes by states like they vote within the state right and then the, let's say there's fifty there's fifty states right and then twenty six states is trump twenty five twenty six


twenty fourth states is someone else, so like the number might be smaller in the twenty the number might be smaller than twenty six states like say that twenty six days are all smaller states than the twenty four states, you get what I mean ya


okay let's say ya ya ya ya ya, it depends on the number of states that he gets elected in so the total number might be actually less than half, you get it ya I think, because they I saw your Twitter like when he was elected right I don't really understand like how he he actually got less than fifty percent of all the votes but because of the states then he won


so ya I I it's this sucks lah that it, smaller uh bigger bigger correct wait no smaller I don't know but the other one will be I'm not good at mathematics , ya


and I another thing I've been seeing recently is, people are discouraging people from voting from voting for kanye because because he didn't like officially register right so it is like a blank there and if people like put kanye west in the blank and then vote right it goes automatically to trump because he is the current one


you know ya so people like really discouraging if you vote for kanye you're for trump so don't do that like it's not the same as voiding a vote so ya, it's just


it's like when I think about it so weird like how the heck did he even get elected ya,


oh it's coming it's like , err it's just I'm doing it lah there's been like we make a few mistakes but we just come back


, I've no idea because because it's like they never say the day for presentation yet so it's just I have all the time until the presentation so ya


job work is it oh (mmhmm)


(mmhmm) [orh]


but you went one day right, oh, , okay speaking of HR and stuff and you know the friend HR


ya intern ya, ya she was complaining to me err in the election <tamil>நேரத்துல:nerathula</tamil> right , temperature taking <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> people they get eighteen I don't know how much they just sixteen per hour and it's like because of that a lot of people apply and the government okay I don't know if who employed them but they only


contacted one agency I think which is my friend's agency and there's like thousands of people applying and only twenty people in that team are managing then she was super stress like friday election right it's supposed to be , on public holiday but they didn't even informed her that she had to work and then the previous day or something they told her and she has to come to work at six AM to do work and like


ya it's like temperature taking eh there's so many people applying and they won't turn up so they have to find replacement, ya it's so she was like saying how she is very stressed ah and the full timers there had to work like from thursday, thursday when they came to work at eight AM until the next day like they didn't even leave the office because they were doing work full time ya it's it was so brutal eh like like they made the intern the small interns and they mend and they make them manage each a Telegram group chat and like central west east something like that


and like she had to manage all the applicants is one like in central so I really think it's just the only contacted one agency and it's like kind of disorganised like how come there's only twenty people managing this whole thing and there's so many applicants ya


and you know I actually applied for the job I like uh PM some person and like, and they didn't even reply me and I totally get it now at first was like !huh! how come they never reply me but I see my friend I think it was the same agency ya ya she was so tired she didn't even like talk


to me the whole day because she was doing work and when she came back she was like oh my god I'm so tired I gonna go sleep, ya, , ya


ya because, in Telegram right like I message most people they don't reply and like I thought it was like I didn't like go and complain lah but I thought it's kind of annoying but I'm totally not annoyed now like if you don't reply me I get it


, ya it's hurtful ya like they think they don't like me or something even though they literally don't know me


ya but ya I get it ah it didn't affect really a lot of messages coming in so I get it, and (hmm)


no I didn't realise the volume I thought only a few people might err, , okay speaking of my friend's incidents my friend err <tamil>அவ வேலைக்கு போகும் போது:ava velaikku pogum pothu</tamil> err


I will close like it's a close relative


pick up the phone on the first ring they will like scold her they will like threatened her like I'm going to tell the boss like you better come back like they are just super rude and condescending and it's like, they humiliated humiliate her you know and it's like kind of sad the way you are treating her ya


ya I don't know it wasn't like she anyhow go to the hospital you know it was like really close to their family and she was worried and like it came back that the guy didn't even have the COVID and they're still treating her like this and like she has to go work go to work on monday and she's like really dreading it


ya, ya intern what and our teacher <tamil>கூட பேசுனா:kooda pesunaa</tamil> and the teacher was so kind about it it's like oh is your uncle okay like I feel that the first thing they should ask is whether you are okay instead of just scolding and like threatening


ya but good for her ah, (mmhmm), ya and like, it's just very mean like the other day I was in school then she called me and she was just crying I felt so bad I didn't even know what to do


I just said oh, ya I mean no she just hates going to work now because everyone's like all her supervisor her manager everyone is against her now like they're super angry at her so going to work will just suck so ya even though her internship is okay it's like every if everyone there hates her it's very horrible to go to work


uh err


one of the questions one of the modules right it's about , okay never mind that's too deep is like really just ones like existence of god and I feel like this argument right if anyone argues about let's say like atheist and a religious person argues about this they can never speak objectively because I think ya so


I don't know like it was very interesting it was very interesting because uh that the argument is okay there's this theory called the problem of evil so is like maybe can Google it is like , it the concept of god is god is like


a supremely good right and uh since and god is omnipotent and because he is good and he can eliminate evil then there should be no evil in the world but there is evil so the argument was that there is no god


but in my opinion I feel like uh, I that's like completely missing the point of what god is you know what I mean do you agree


you look very blur, err oh okay


no but it's like I feel like if you stay there it feels the go big argument then that was my that was my one also but like it feels so weak, like the no god mixed like on on paper it makes much more sense like there's literal evidence it that evil exist but there's no evidence that god is willing to but he's not doing it you know


ya but what I feel is, uh, I think people are people who are on this side are taking god as too much of a literal thing like for me it's just god is just like the power that we don't understand


like something that I don't know how to say understanding ya ya correct so, I don't think we should question like like basically everything in this world for me is a proof that god exists because built also didn't create anything what like


it that's how I feel lah like the whole, (mmhmm)


give me like okay when, like there's big bang okay I know you know a bit about big bang theory right okay maybe you should talk about that because I've never looked into what big bang theory is like I've never read it I just know it,


ya ya ya, (mmhmm)


okay ya so stardust right okay obviously man didn't create stardust and, what if stardust didn't exist you know like like everything that is like no space the earth obviously man didn't create this so like


there could be not of there could be no space there could be no earth but there is you know, ya so it's like obviously we are not in power of that there's something else that is in power of this space this earth


correct so that's why I think god is like I think like god is too uh associated with something that is tangible when it's really not, ya, okay that is my opinion


and like err if I do go to philosophy and learn about this stuff I think I'll be I can't be objective enough so ya I was I will be worried, that's what I'm hoping lah but I don't know


ya like I really cannot accept this like problem of evil though like it really doesn't make sense in my head but I don't know how to express it which is the whole point of taking philosophy like you have to learn how to express your thoughts, and I like can I even do that you know


(uh huh), experientially I think they mean experience


no no no experientially, (mmhmm) and like ya I hope to learn more about that ah is this whole topic called villagers something forgot the title ya and also get NTU or NUS NUS is like pretty hard to get into the GPA is three point six something it's like harder to get into that camp and so that sucks


ya, I think it's just a lot of people want it lah isn't that how it works, (mmhmm), okay


(mmhmm), ya anything ah (mmhmm), that is I need some time to think how about you start first


be oh michelle oh I hear michelle obama okay ya, (mmhmm)


(mmhmm)


who she is today oh


oh I want be harry potter ya, no but legit you know when I was young I kept reading the book right and it shows the school life was like oh so fun I wanna be that


, if you're talking about real don't know, probably like someone as influential also lah but I don't really know much about michelle obama


, oh of course and like it's the pressure to influence all these people you know,


okay just a random question would you ever wanna be famous , , ya I was thinking no too you know like okay all these artists right like music artists I feel like almost all of them they always like make songs or whatever talking about how fame sucks basically and like how ya and like when you're rich people always expect things from you


like especially family ah like relative right they just expect you to I don't know if you want to go out and then like, oh you're rich ah you just you just buy the stuff I think like is just very sad lah that people expect this from you and


ya and, you know okay it's not even a global this is err you know the NOC guy right forgot his name, the watermelon guy forgot his name, okay you don't know what NOC is oh is the local local uh YouTube channel actually that is just local like he's this he's not he's not even like famous worldwide


he's just in singapore, totally forgot to speak tamil and uh <tamil>அங்க வந்து:anga vanthu</tamil> uh


and like live a life and like imagine it's like that for local who's like not even that famous ya


I don't think I don't think they know I don't think I mean they knew that this fame is like this but it's probably glamorous on the outside I think when you go through it is a completely different thing from what we see


ya and what was I gonna say , ya and also these youtubers they don't really expect a lot of fame when they start out I think ya like when you, start a they probably never even expect to be so huge they just probably just err went viral and then
