ya so like it's a good thing lah is is really a good initiative where no they at least the other doing something for the citizens know of doing something for the tourism industry also ah making sure the economy goes around and because people spend money then people earn money lor


but, if you want to think like as a personal point of view like in your family like, maybe they say they they think you can save money


then <mandarin>一一家人:yi yi jia ren</mandarin> maybe <mandarin>你有两个孩子两个:ni you liang ge hai zi liang ge</mandarin> parent lah, then <mandarin>你去一个:ni qu yi ge</mandarin> USS <mandarin>还是去一个:hai shi qu yi ge</mandarin> what


adventure cove ah <mandarin>还是去一个什么:hai shi qu yi ge shen me</mandarin> museum <mandarin>再去:zai qu</mandarin> Sentosa, ah <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> good initiative lah at least they're doing something you know but if you say like


to save money !wah! is a good deal ah I don't really thinks a good deal ah


ah but


you also never go and err you never go and cut the other people's money what is you use government people use government money to pay you what, so like <mandarin>这样来:zhe yang lai</mandarin> what ah you don't feel so bad in a way


ya, okay, I saw one question, what would be the worst bye bye one get one free sale ever


why sia


, I wasn't expecting such a serious answer but you know what's the answer inside my head, you buy one side of the shoe then you get the other one side free ,


a'ah, understand , , then is ah


okay


oh my alcohol alcoholic drink lah, ah it'll be, single malt whiskies


ya only like that ah, , that's you everytime ah


a'ah, play lah, I mean, I, how to say ah this kind of thing must really know your limits lor and like when <mandarin>你喝酒:ni he jiu</mandarin> Liao then <mandarin>那你喝酒:na ni he jiu</mandarin> Liao you drink long enough then you will know your limit maybe you can


train your stamina and don't know what thing ah


no lah like, then err <mandarin>我们就好像他们:wo men jiu hao xiang ta men</mandarin> excited mah <mandarin>十八岁:shi ba sui</mandarin> Liao <mandarin>可以喝酒:ke yi he jiu</mandarin> then <mandarin>我们一起喝:wo men yi qi he</mandarin> lor then


when she drink the first can ah then she like sleepy already, ah then after that err <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> we all go out


we all go out a few times go and, you know go and drink somemore then after that they you know after that like can see like her, tolerance increase lah then she can drink a bit longer lor <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> lor


what job do I really want


, ah


a intern ah <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> office, although <mandarin>我我:wo wo</mandarin> don't mind the, the workload or I don't mind whatever I'm doing in office itself


then I made my way down to the MRT, then after that I go in office then do do do then after that five thirty come out, then like


in office hours ah is like, always changing lah not say very boring or what, but, the, the thought of it like !wah! you go back five thirty then after that you go dinner then you lie down your bed you can only think of I need to wake up at seven o'clock tomorrow then after that I go work then I clock up at five that's the one thing that I feel like I don't really like ah


ya so like somemore somemore ah somemore office like you wake up when you seven o'clock you wake up you go to the same place every day then maybe like for events management right, you for operations maybe lah you you have to go to different places then your workplace change everytime work timings also will change like is very dynamic everything is changing there's nothing fix

!aiya! <mandarin>是那个:shi na ge</mandarin> company <mandarin>的错:de cuo</mandarin> ah


ya I guess, okay


err this one ah, , very difficult for me to think leh honestly speaking, because like buy one get one free right usually I don't even trust these kind of items because


to me they feel very scam me cause <mandarin>这些店全都要把他们的货全部都卖掉所以他们就卖:zhe xie dian quan dou yao ba ta men de huo quan bu dou mai diao suo yi ta men jiu mai</mandarin> buy one get one free


what, [orh], you mean, <mandarin>现在我在:xian zai wo zai</mandarin> like, ah like


okay so like I I like to ask you another question, with regards to like


yes, what


yup, (mmhmm)


okay, my favourite is just like lagar beer cause it's cheap and it does its job, my favorite drink is lagar beer because I feel it's the cheapest and does its job like


lagar beer is really the best way to go because it's a three dollar drink


I mean when people push me to drink I try to be defensive lah


I mean I don't <mandarin>我觉得喝酒:wo jue de he jiu</mandarin> like <mandarin>不是个:bu shi ge</mandarin> stamina training <mandarin>东西:dong xi</mandarin> leh, like <mandarin>如果你说跑步的话那个我懂:ru guo ni shuo pao bu de hua na ge wo dong</mandarin> lah about drinking I really doubt it man


oh I see, okay


oh okay, so like I like to ask you right <mandarin>你长大以后:ni zhang da yi hou</mandarin> what is the, what job do you really want, yup


[orh] events management ah <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> events management <mandarin>有一点威胁:you yi dian wei xie</mandarin> leh


oh okay


okay


oh Kelly services ah do you know someone called #han hui#


Kelly services, ya, deployment ah I think is with relations to part-time, [orh] okay


alright


okay, alright, so like I just wanted to ask you right err, with regards to like say like certain things such as, what's your favourite Mcdonald meal


to me is just not worth it


[orh] <mandarin>你奶奶有煮:ni nai nai you zhu</mandarin> ya for me is the same, err no I have a helper


indonesia, indonesia, no not really, I mean if you going to eat healthy food <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> healthy food <mandarin>不是那么好吃的:bu shi na me hao chi de</mandarin> mah


not really honestly is more of the health factor than the taste factor, err yes but still disgusting at the end of the day


oh for me I tried to cut down on meat


and on top of that <mandarin>肉对你身体不好:rou dui ni shen ti bu hao</mandarin> in the long run, not really the I'm I I'm not a vegan but <mandarin>是不想吃那么多肉但是我很喜欢:shi bu xiang chi na me duo rou dan shi wo hen xi huan</mandarin> barbecue sauce


like if you give me plant-based diet I'll eat plant-based diet like plant-based meat I'll eat plant-based meat but also like, I try not to eat cow because some of my family is buddhist so like to respect them I don't really eat


mutton is great if you have the fatty parts


for me it depends lah anything any meat is good with barbecue sauce there's the only exception I make to the meat rule


yes, to go #zi char# meal ah !wah!


you are talking to a somewhat spoilt brat here eh I never really eaten #zi char# with people before you know, ya I think if you want to tell me my favourite dish right I'll probably be egg tofu


egg tofu, yes, yup, I love that, I mean I told you I am trying to cut down on meat like if you <mandarin>你你跟我讲:ni ni gen wo jiang</mandarin> err what's that thing called ah what's that chicken meal called


fried chicken fried chicken wing, okay I think is another of my favorites <mandarin>是那个:shi na ge</mandarin> cereal prawn, yes cereal prawn is one of my favorite especially when done well but the reason <mandarin>为什么我没有吃过那么多:wei shen me wo mei you chi guo na me duo</mandarin> #zi char# <mandarin>是因为:shi yin wei</mandarin> err


to like , to to reinterate right it's probably because , my family doesn't really like eating outside because we have err cause my father wants us to eat healthy


like say like err, if you want to say #zi char# then like that I'm eating #zi char# everyday because my father cook #zi char# dishes


ya, oh my god cereal Sotong that's like two of my favorite things combined <mandarin>我喜欢吃:wo xi huan chi</mandarin> like Sotong <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> ah <mandarin>我是:wo shi</mandarin> blur Sotong lah so I <mandarin>喜欢吃:xi huan chi</mandarin> Sotong lah

ya like cause you have to understand when it was during my holidays right I literally had nothing to do, yup yup during the CB was my exam period then the holiday period I couldn't go anywhere because it was at time when like


the whole entire like place was on lockdown, yup


Shiok


so that's your form of exercise, oh


I mean <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> like CB <mandarin>所以是这样:suo yi shi zhe yang</mandarin> lor


yup, I agree


yup, nope, I have never, yup


really, I mean isn't privacy a major issue, ya I have a feeling security will be an issue


it's still something I'd rather not play with, ya, I see actually now that we talk about Discord right ya I think during the CB I really went to a lot of discord channels actually


yup, so now if you show me your camera you are some rip person right


since <mandarin>你讲:ni jiang</mandarin> I picked up gymming, [orh] okay as an absolute opposite of the spectrum <mandarin>那是很大的:na shi hen da de</mandarin> ya


oh okay


oh okay that one, <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> NS <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> Bobo shooter <mandarin>所以这些用枪队友戏:suo yi zhe xie yong qiang dui you xi</mandarin> I never really play


as in <mandarin>我真的是:wo zhen de shi</mandarin> Bobo shooter, like <mandarin>我当兵的时候:wo dang bing de shi hou</mandarin> ah I think , I probably did the practice range five times ya


yup I really cannot aim, correct


I mean it's like that what can you do, err no you need to pass that's why I say I redo five times, ya


one and err one year and one third semester ya I know is a very weird name is a very weird err

yup that's true I am in a very lucky position, cause, you see all the graduates now, their life very shag


yup, more Shiok right ya I know


err <mandarin>我是:wo shi</mandarin> actually <mandarin>用:yong</mandarin> Telegram <mandarin>因为我现在:yin wei wo xian zai</mandarin> like <mandarin>我工作不是很很很很久:wo gong zuo bu shi hen hen hen hen jiu</mandarin> eh is only about like say like one hour twelve dollars but to compensate I do every day


ya, otherwise I find other ways to earn money <mandarin>就是好像这样:jiu shi hao xiang zhe yang</mandarin> [loh], yup


yup, correct, oh I see


I mean I feel like this one is where if subject to a lot of like, things lah like what if the recording fail then you also don't earn money then like that <mandarin>浪费一个小时:lang fei yi ge xiao shi</mandarin> so like, it's just do and hope you get it lor kind of situation


I mean I also don't know whether if I can get the incentive a not very difficult


yup, I don't know for sure lah


I see okay, but group meeting <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> not very convenient if you think about it


yup, yup


so like , before like we end off I want to ask you one final question ah which is like completely out of the ordinary, which is like, what would you do if you receive twenty five dollars


what would you do if the money, ya, as in like how would you spend it


I see okay, okay, yup


I see


okay, I ya okay for me right my one very simple, it goes into my bank, same as yours

yup correct, I see ya Forex is a bit on the dangerous side


okay yup okay thank you so much man, okay bye bye


okay


hi, my day <mandarin>不错:bu cuo</mandarin> lah is still going fine, very early actually like I I woke up at


around err seven thirty because I had classes today, no <mandarin>我还没放假:wo hai mei fang jia</mandarin> because for my course right it's just different from the normal uni courses


in singapore's, no lah so actually we still have classes, ah like next week, is my last week, yeah, so next week I still have tutorial


ya then afterwards my my holiday is also quite short so is like I think like


ya like I it no I I think we start about the same time as everybody else but it's just that, uh, is we we end later lah so is lesser holiday time


, I have to say is like, ah


in a sense yes because, ah, this year we focus more on like diseases and


uh what we call like pathologies whereas last year it was more of like a normal uh function of the body ya <mandarin>你了解我在说什么:ni liao jie wo zai shuo shen me</mandarin> ah


yeah, I mean <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> like <mandarin>去年:qu nian</mandarin> is the first year right correct so they had to like all the basics they had to like, ya all the basics right so essentially I was just like studying H two bio which was like, obviously like very Sian lah ya


two years in one year what no meh, is there any do you know how like the curriculum structure is like


do people actually do that, ah so you want to like start on a fresh slate lah


, quite close to what you are about to learn lah no meh


oh that's true unless you have like law friends and they know what they're studying lah that kind of thing


do you think it'll be that bad


oh yeah actually, like uh, like for every tutorial right, like I tried reading, ah


that's that's really uh, ya <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> ya so I, I, like I have tried reading my friends like tutorial notes before and then like <mandarin>全部都是好像从:quan bu dou shi hao xiang cong</mandarin> like is from like those case reports or like those err


what's what do you call those law books ah like is it like theoretical kind of like law theories is that how you put it


, and Mun Mun isn't even that bad what correct


that's true and this one is even more dry you know like law is actually, like all the reasoning, that kind of thing they, are mixed, you know I actually considered law last time


, , ya <mandarin>当然:dang ran</mandarin> lah you see <mandarin>每个人都在问我有没有:mei ge ren dou zai wen wo you mei you</mandarin> consider right, but then like, obviously have to give it some thought you know


because it's like such a you know like when J two and then like the choices are presented to you like the professional paths like for example like studying law or medicine, always like they stand out you know like, you know people always ask like oh you do you consider law or medicine you know sounds like a very straightforward


path lah correct, so obviously I consider it also ah


, correct


, , of course lah but at the end of the day is like <mandarin>个人:ge ren</mandarin> you know this kind of thing you you'll see based on yourself like what you want to do what you aim to do that kind of stuff what so, ya so actually I I did consider law I know I got tell you before actually but I just felt that


okay I I think that my err my err how to say ah my, impression of law that time was very shallow, ya so I thought it was very boring like something I will not be interested in, I didn't even apply in the end lah so you know


but, [orh] like those kind of courtroom lawyers right but apparently most lawyers don't even go to court right , ya honestly all these dramas right


they give people like this wrong type of like <mandarin>观念的:guan nian de</mandarin> dude can I say that, of what, like actually at medicine also ya


oh grey's grey's Anat is what eh you know you know grey's Anat is already considered very medically accurate, ya like they actually have doctors on set that tell them like okay you must hold this thing that way you must like do this like this particular way


so to give it like the entire very like <mandarin>真实感:zhen shi gan</mandarin> you know, yes, okay but it does eh, like the plot definitely is not not your average plot lah you know like there are so many scandals and relationships inside I mean it's it's definitely dramatise you know


that's why lah , yeah, but this is no documentary about like


law , , I I think because <mandarin>如果有:ru guo you</mandarin> right it will actually be very boring


you have been watching a lot right on Netflix , so,


food shows like like what is it like chef's table or, hell's kitchen, oh , ah I actually didn't know that


I didn't know at Netflix <mandarin>有这么多:you zhe me duo</mandarin> kind of like documentaries eh because it's usually known for all their <mandarin>连续剧:lian xu ju</mandarin> you know, kind of thing


, , like that, , let me see ah what what Netflix, documentaries have I I have watch some before actually I watch those on like history because I was quite interested last time


super long time ago


two years ago, no lah, ya, I used to watch I tried watching last time some documentary but also, #de wei# you got any suggestions,


uh not about nature I don't really like nature, , (uh huh), oh okay this will be better


dude I will preferably about like, oh is it about like, global warming, ,


[orh], I see


so it's like isn't that like geography kind of like, that area again


wait aren't they the same I mean like I mean part of the same like family of, ah, ya ya you will need a geographer to tell us that


geologists oh geologists is in rocks I think


how do I put is it very in line with like your entire like, goal of like sustainable development isn't it


, oh okay that's really cool lah honestly I just watch trash on Netflix


oh you watch oh ya we're talking about it last time what correct, it's so good, the characters are also hot I think, yes but you do have to watch queen's gambit though


dude that's lying right, that is not true , you have to give it a chance


and then,


!wah! so you just Blur ah that time, ah casual ah okay lah first time for the job you usually <mandarin>是这样的:shi zhe yang de</mandarin> mah


and <mandarin>你你才刚开始而已不可以要求太多:ni ni cai gang kai shi er yi bu ke yi yao qiu tai duo</mandarin> mah, , right, ya lah, oh for how long have you been in it already


, !wah! <mandarin>有一个月:you yi ge yue</mandarin> Liao, actually it it seems really fast sia it just seemed like the last time we went like I was talking to you on the train then you were saying that you saying that you wanted to do an internship, okay but I don't know whether to you is fast ah because like you know NS right to me like looking at all of your in NS like to me you all very fast but I'm pretty sure to like your yours was like like damn slow


actually ya people will be like oh err year two already but to me like no man is so slow you know, any time I'm just waiting for


ya lah, just ya lah ya lah they just cannot, because like see you just see them once a year that's why


touch points ah that is true, what I have been watching, ah err, now <mandarin>等一下:deng yi xia</mandarin> ah oh I'm watching start up


I know it's so basic ah but, it is it is it's a <mandarin>韩韩剧韩剧:han han ju han ju</mandarin> it's nice lah oh you thought is like a like a startup reality TV is it, ah no no no no no its actually a drama but its about like startup companies you know


so its start-up then uh I also watch modern family, but then I watch for a very long time already


ya I need to one by one oh and then the crown lah, so basic right okay lah I like to think that the crown is like, got that higher intellectual level lying ah


they are not what, ya they have to they dramatize a lot of things I think like they try to like uh attach significance to to a lot of the the crown activities to make it seem like !wah! <mandarin>他做这样:ta zuo zhe yang</mandarin> then in the end that changed the whole course of like british history but in truth the crown was very like I mean the real crown was very passive I think


and also very, err you know you just not not really doing much lah you know , ya, ya lah and all their scandals lah you know ya


but in actuality is like err, is it diana, is it the diana documentary


that one, oh really, oh I saw that one as in I saw the, preview ah


the surgeon's cut, an innovative compassionate fetal medicine eh this is so cool


so all the patients are real also lah, !wah! that's really cool actually, ya but obviously they show the exciting part of medicine lah, there's true lah


like I mean if the patient is real that's a lot of ethical considerations as well as like patient consent behind it you know, so actually a lot of concerns behind it, you know we learn so much about like they were always putting so much emphasis on like


patient consent ethics that kind of thing you know, it it I mean you know we never ask for consent you can, you like okay for example right like we have our practical examinations right


like for for our exams lah final exams if you so you are actually okay for example your task will be err do this particular procedure on this particular patient ah ya then like when you go out to the patient it's a fake patient lah <mandarin>是假的:shi jia de</mandarin> lah you know like they employ the patient one lah but suppose to treat it as a real patient ya then you are supposed to ask for consent and if you don't ask for consent it'#anat#s like a instant fail you know


that kind of thing lah unless you need to do like a physical examination right, so you need to like touch the patient that kind of thing listen that kind of things ya so that one must ask for consent is very important you know


it really motivated, these kids like, ya lah I mean in the very modern in a very modern like how to say ah because I can't really say modern like eh you compare currently now to like let's say like uh <mandarin>四十五十年前:si shi wu shi nian qian</mandarin> you know


it's like in the past, like patients also right correct they are like they just let doctor do and the the doctor won't really even like <mandarin>解释那个:jie shi na ge</mandarin> what all this, what is used for that kind of thing you know but nowadays they are much more particular about this is usual you see what I


what I complain about the polyclinic doctor, is me , ya exactly


exactly I was I was like actually I lost quite a bit of respect for that for them eh I mean like, okay I it's really generalised it's just one that's true but I feel like it's a really pity also because like these doctors right like, okay


what makes, the life of GP exciting right correct for a lot of doctors, its okay in the sense firstly is to see all sorts, additionally you okay they keep emphasizing this is that you must have a care for the community


so you must have this like sort of like connection with your with your community so that they will like it'll always be the <mandarin>同样的人来回来来再再见你:tong yang de ren lai hui lai lai zai zai jian ni</mandarin> this is the what we always see in GPs lah you know like the old friend come back to see the same doctor you know there's the we've seen the doctor for like


your family doctor lah then like you and your your wife see your child also see that kind of thing so that is that is, the your connection between your doctor and community is like one of the things that behind like family medicine but I feel like in a polyclinic is just very lost messy in a sense that err they're just trying to get rid a huge number of cases at one time in a day there isn't that aspect of the connection of the community behind it


ya its just like a factory <mandarin>所以我就觉得好像:suo yi wo jiu jue de hao xiang</mandarin> <mandarin>有点:you dian</mandarin> like


I would say, ya and also doctor was really really very I don't know is it in like <mandarin>已经四点了:yi jing si dian le</mandarin> you know then like !yay! <mandarin>要放工:yao fang gong</mandarin> Liao you know but like, it was !wah! is really like he seemed so Sian with his life,


ya, ya hopefully lah, ya man so it's really !wow!, you know


, do you watch love island, oh, how is it how is too hot to handle


really,


, , wait, so


so I'm not supposed to, eh wait I don't get it I cannot be in situations of more than one person


with more than one person or I'm just not supposed to do it at all, [orh] so like what so isn't the show just about abstinence is it


honestly oh but isn't it a bit fake though, emily in paris, it is, okay if you put it that way


it's like there's not much significant content but it's really nice to watch though this is so aesthetic eh, there's how to say there's no, there's no steam or motive behind it


kind of thing, I understand lah actually its okay lah not very uh you know, do you do you think I should watch suits


no but no lah my point on all this is that okay like suits and house of cards I have always wanted to watch but, is like so hard because you have to like catch up on all the different seasons you know


and slowly slowly watch, that's true lah it's just that I must, I cannot watch more than like two shows at one time because I will just I will lose track one, oh exactly


might as well watch sitcoms right every episode is different, ya and and that's why that modern family is fine !wah! sitcoms are really like very easy though


but modern family is quite I like it because it's quite wholesome sometimes it's also quite funny okay I think this kind of sitcoms is that after a little while you start to grow onto the characters which means like usually at the start you don't like the show


okay lah but you told me to watch sitcoms one lah you so, it is like, you watch it to to wind down you know like you just feel happy because you like the characters in front of like you you must really grow on the characters lah for this kind of show


ya it's emily in paris but, uh ya actually it is really like emily in paris but I would say that emily in paris it manages to hook its audiences very well, ya like such err from the very beginning


oh but it's really dude you've been to paris before you know <mandarin>真实就是不一样:zhen shi jiu shi bu yi yang</mandarin> you know it's such a romanticized version


you are in for disappointment lah, , but it's really so good right, like you, you want to go and then like get buy the croissant from the, from like some random shop in paris


so I feel like france has too many tourist traps already that's why,


I think paris right, you want to you want to enjoy paris right you must actually have local friends, you know, exactly which is why you need to learn french


duolingo, dude this trust me because like <mandarin>我我我选法文对吗我从中一学到中四是我第三语言:wo wo wo xuan fa wen dui ma wo cong zhong yi xue dao zhong si shi wo di san yu yan</mandarin> correct


then like, even when I went to france in, in sec four correct I still hardly understood anything you know, and like you must, in in part yes lah but and and that was after I studied for O levels leh it's super fast ya like if they break it okay like I can read the signs you know I can read the sign like say this way to toilet this way something something yeah I can ask for directions


ya just directions then sometime direction I can only understand sia they say turn left and right in in french and everything yeah but the moment they start talking like some other other like uh topic right I just entirely blank out already


, I can't remember already yeah <NEN> is right I think , turn , turn left


in french, oh <NEN> is left, right is


ya <NEN> so , you still do ah until now


how long do you take for each lesson, ah, I think like it's but this mod were busy is it Dames that said that he was learning also


ah but really duolingo is okay firstly it's super hard to learn a new language


right then additionally wait, duolingo you still need to find some motivation even though it's already like so done so easily for you already, then it is lah but at the end of the day you are still learning stuff you know it's it's still a


it's not as chill as like, I don't know watching your, drama oh you know what to learn french, I went to watch a french err sitcom, no no no a a french sitcom that I found on youtube


ya actually quite funny eh leh then I will on must on subtitles lah confirm ya, but actually I I think I managed to learn quite a lot from it then <mandarin>学到挺多的:xue dao ting duo de</mandarin> actually, so actually it was not bad


ya, oh is it in is it in french


ya eh you you should go watch it sia, ya but wait what is it about ah actually, he was err prime minister right


president, [orh] he was general during world war two I think, then afterwards he run he ran for, president


ya, , I actually I actually did not go to the to to <mandarin>他们的的:ta men de de</mandarin> airport because, I I came from UK right and then so I went to heathrow ya I took the train


then from there I took I took another thing ya so actually I did not go to, is it that bad <mandarin>有那么那么坏:you na me na me huai</mandarin> ah


[orh]


really ah, why they split the terminal up into so many, but the french aren't really efficient


, !wah! the !wah! but I have to say though the Jakarta airport is like meh sia it's not very good


really


oh, yeah I actually went to the to the Jakarta airport before, oh yeah yeah yeah it is it is it is, !wah! but when I went it was quite rundown ah I mean it had a very like traditional kind of vibe to it


I'm not sure, but that's what airports are supposed to be what correct, ah I don't really know lah dude of the CDG airport, ya, Changi still the best


wait but so many people say that heathrow is bad though, what, really


in terms of, [orh], maybe <mandarin>就是有一些有一些:jiu shi you yi xie you yi xie</mandarin> terminal <mandarin>没有那么:mei you na me</mandarin> how but Changi all of them are actually


, no but plus what I like is that they actually frequently renovate terminal one and two also


that is that is true ya ya terminal one <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> I remember it was really really run-down eh, like up until, I don't even think I remember that, wait was terminal one the one with mcdonald's ah [orh] that's terminal two right


no the one that is like , eh was it terminal three !wah! I cannot remember now ya actually all of them have them oh dude I actually haven't went to airport in a long time eh


(hmm), I actually, oh ya, that's true eh and plus jewel has a lot of different like


exhibits now right right, ah okay, I think I have to pay jewel a visit


uh !wah!, it's more than one year already, the last time I went to airport was, was when I went to the, really, when was that ah


you you got send me off to vietnam, dude that was in twenty seventeen eh, wait you all send me there ah I don't remember eh I think it was so cool though


oh I really love vietnam though vietnam is so cool, Pho ah, but not #nam nam# ah


ya man this makes you treasure, treasure your overseas trips much more, like <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> hor <mandarin>我都想念:wo dou xiang nian</mandarin> like, JB bro, if you remember our JB escapades


ah !wah! that was like in twenty seventeen is it, I mean now hor I would I would I would jump at any opportunity just to go there , right actually are the last when was the last overseas place you went


that old but then you really lucky eh that was like <mandarin>今年对吗年年初对吗:jin nian dui ma nian nian chu dui ma</mandarin> I remember we are at the we are at the, we were eating at the thai restaurant mah right after you came back


ya exactly oh that was before circuit breaker ah shit , [orh] and you and you didn't have the SHN right


self imposed, ah okay, ya but I remember at that time you were joking that !wah! you are you are going to SHN already cause we are talking like <mandarin>你你还还在国外的时候:ni ni hai hai zai guo wai de shi hou</mandarin> ah you know, ya I think like ya right where you came back then they announced it right that anybody coming from overseas will SHN


, , ya oh, dude the last time I went overseas was with was like last year


ya, that's really really long time I went to KL, eh no was it I think I'm I'm not sure is it KL or ya KL it was like one week before christmas ya and I went to KL then like !wah! it was so actually so fun leh looking back


cause now right !wah! <mandarin>真的很:zhen de hen</mandarin> Sian, don't even know when


ya I think so , ya I just want to go overseas lah, at what, , I will tell them I'm a medical student I I should get priority


please, ah I think so actually , the chemist ah chemist the chemist are the one that invent medicines the biochemist ya actually it's it's really them


ya doctors only there to to say whether like oh I see my patients getting better that's all


I won't say that they make up the medicine they invent new they formulate new chemicals you know, ya that that, but the in between there's like what we call translational medicine ah it's how you translate all these basic science concepts right into medicine


so so there's that's why like some doctors they are also very involved in their how to say ah the biochemistry they also understand what's going on that kind of thing you know so they also involved in the process, ya, ya ya ya


but primarily I would say that it is actually like the biochemist that are actually doing it because they are the ones that know how to wait you studied chemistry right, wait you didn't take chemistry for JC


ya but for example like all your different like reactions like how you create a particular molecule that that is ultimately up to the chemist what cause chemist is the one who knows how to do that, you know,


!aiya! basically it's just not the doctor lah actually, I don't even know when, ya eh but then the UK already start having immunisation already


right, sick man, finally ah this thing has been going on for long enough


who, oh really not pfizer ah pfizer, ah, ya lah but I think like last time the minister right he said that until like


get vaccination, then if not there's no there's there's not going to be a relaxation of measures but I think even after we get vaccinations that will only be what phase three only, you know


but you see ah technically based on based on err, based on err based on the vaccination right if you are vaccinated you should be able to go to other countries what correct, it's more of whether their government trust our own vaccination policy you know


and whether our and whether they trust our vaccination has worked, herd immunity would protect people that are not


err immunized against it but you see if you are immunized already then there's no difference what correct I can just go interact with people that <mandarin>已经已经感染了:yi jing yi jing gan ran le</mandarin> you know then you all can nothing will happen to me you know so there will be not much difference


ya so I I don't know how it will work out lah actually because this kind is like it's like political what diplomatic ah diplomatic that kind of problems so, ya the hong kong bubble though that was really sad


!wah! I also wanted to go eh, but I don't


think so, no lah but !wah! you know I'm a sucker for, like I I went to hong kong so many times in the past so ya I kind of actually like actually like it quite a lot


oh ya that one also you see, why, but hong kong has really good food though so nice


that's it's like singapore but it has like chinese influences , , ah but I think that the what like you know need the weather


you should go in during summer lah, okay lah then <mandarin>我们没有办法啦只可以去:wo men mei you ban fa la zhi ke yi qu</mandarin> new zealand,


that is singapore new zealand has like how hot does new zealand get in the summer


!wah! !wah! twenty four twenty six is our aircon leh, isn't australia hot though


that's true, oh wait latitude is the one that is like, how far we have ya


how far away you are from the equator ah is it, that is latitude [orh], wait but so anything south of the equator the err like how to say is like the seasons are reverse ah is it, that means


at the end of the year they are having summer, that means now is their summer ah, ah


, ya but isn't it so weird to celebrate christmas in that, environment


is that euro centric, that's true, no it's just very weird like even in singapore christmas is very weird like to an outsider ah like let's say like a a european coming here because like what they associate with christmas is like snow you know cold weather but in singapore we have we have nothing we don't have those associated with you know


even, really


!wah! but I really don't understand how this western kind of like, how to say ah what they're looking like you know like they want to be tan all that kind of thing then they will go to tanning salons you know


ya then it was like once with you ah last time I was I was like, err discussing this and err like studying it last time like the difference in like beauty standards right because if they want to be tan then you look at asian


correct err meanwhile right people go for whitening surgery have whitening cream you know it's so weird you know


grass is greener on the other side lah they think that that grass is greener on the other side, wait ah


, , that's true, ya and then for singaporeans we want to experience winter for example you know


that kind of that kind of thing, ya they want to escape then they come to singapore, it's so weird leh it just shows that what you want right like what you perceive


to be what you want right, it's not necessarily leh, there's no objective standard you know


I guess, ya but maybe it's like how to say ah you should, you know they can always flip it the other way round and say that you should be grateful for what you have currently you know and learn to like that


find err pleasure in what you currently have,


ya so err do you think, so you complain about singapore right but you never move to new zealand so what does that mean


that is true lah


, okay lah fair enough fair enough, that's true lah, but like do you think singapore ever reach like, what you what do you observe like what your idea of like


err, okay not say like ideal society but, err, err do you think it will come somewhere close to the kind of society you want to live in in your lifetime


that's true that's true, it's really based on your frame of


this is something like a frame of reference, I I would is it


singapore is like highest right in the world, [orh], it's easy to get a to get a green card from new zealand ah


wait but can we like can we be permanent resident there


[orh]


actually singapore does that also what right ya, but will you ever consider


no ah shifting to, but you don't see yourself actually considering it lah is it


do you think you will fit into the culture there though this is a totally different culture


wait but you served NS what <mandarin>你不会觉得好像:ni bu hui jue de hao xiang</mandarin> you know become more like, err your identity is now like


, oh, ah this is ah I see, ah it really depends on how you look at it like you can also say that


you all like coming together despite having your differences you know, is that kind of like, immigrant narrative that they are always trying to portray you know


eh ya that's true that's true ya and you see it depends on how you view it lah if you think that it's a, it's part of the identity and then when you go in you are like forging that they are part of that process then, err all the more you will feel so lah that you are part that you are singaporean you know


interestingly right what they always say about serving correct they always say that you are, err doing this for your family correct which is a sufficient enough motivation for a lot of people to actually like #chiong sua# ah right right, so but but by doing by putting it this way right you are equating like your identity your national identity into just being your family lah


no, that that is true, honestly for a lot of singaporeans right it's it's largely about their family lah you know


like I don't know if I once asked (mmhmm) you say, I'm damn tired actually eh I'm just like


(mmhmm), unless you are said to study abroad, no lah I got tutorial tomorrow but I need to like start


and I can ask I start already I as I it's just editor, you guys monitors yeah but it's okay lah <mandarin>以后没有多的:yi hou mei you duo de</mandarin> one one hour already


err, actually I quite like it lah, it's not that it's not bad, ya it's I'm there isn't the kind of like rubber owners that you will you will see from the news


ya quite a nice balance, and also because that's what people say a new religions are exaggerated form of, of misdeeds you know


exactly so actually other than that it's is actually very normal people have fun lah you know like all sorts of people here, but I don't think you consider staying right, I don't think you consider staying home


is it isn't it very different though, okay wait but, NTU concept of hall different from NUS concept of hall, the NUS <mandarin>放在:fang zai</mandarin> hall is more


no ya, and NUS have much higher requirements for hall stay, I very particular kind of things yeah, like okay they'll call they'll definitely offer you accommodation but getting into particular halls like might be a problem


yeah, uh some halls they are just some halls are sports hall some halls are like dance halls some are like scholar halls that kind of thing lah so sometimes you want a specific hall so NTU say that they will guarantee you a hall you apply for


for hall A right, they might not give you hall A lah but they will definitely give you another hall because NTU actually has a lot of rooms, it's just that not all the halls are wanted, you know some halls some more on lah maybe even in different stuff also lah so at the end of the day


I a lot of the new halls right actually, ah okay, uh yeah the things that they're not there aren't a lot of stuff like that much activities that kind of thing so, this is somebody very you want to do you want to do all the activities right you kind of thing then you wouldn't want to apply de lah but lest you end up getting you want and you will see an correct


and actually it depends a lot on people's own preferences also because they might want the hall that's closer to their school you know one my one the hall is closer to MRT, that kind of thing


they don't like a hall and sometimes it's just a preference of the hall itself lah somehow look nicer than others some are newer some the facilities are better you know, in general yes but as I said ya lah is is is at the other of the day right it's kind of thing is how much you want it so it's a balance lah correct then between you and other people


yeah, but will be more run down lah you know


wait, you you you can't stop the recording you shit, ya is more than an hour, okay, is is I pause it


okay mine is recording wait wait wait I will remove my earpiece, okay, so do you want to clap now


okay, okay hi, right how's your day going


ah wait your semester hasn't ended


wait wait wait so you end later and you start earlier, okay shoots


!wah! okay so so !wow! first sem


, oh okay, right so escalating in like what depth of coverage right you


right


it felt I know it just looks like bio but from what you shared this year it felt more, ya like


yeah,


oh okay that's it's always nice to hear that sounds interesting in that course I mean I'm not sure if I can relate to that in two years' time


yeah in one year I don't know I wouldn't expect myself to love at the first year but, , yeah, uh the first year


is I had I chose nothing, like all the modules are those <mandarin>必读的:bi du de</mandarin> so I, yeah, yeah, so


I don't want to I don't want to guess the content I don't wanna like get myself early into learning law in case I learned the wrong thing, but I know for sure that, I don't know (ugh) I


I mean I'm gonna be if I have to learn it myself I'm gonna be exposing myself to like tons of new jargon and technicalities I don't wanna like, formulate the wrong impression of what they are, you know like, I wanna be I wanna learn with the professors I don't wanna learn alone if I could learn alone I wouldn't need university


exactly, , ya like you know how you have certain words that you you learn from your childhood but you stuck to the wrong meaning until someone told you later in life I don't want that to happen to myself


I hope so but then again err those law textbooks right <mandarin>有很多:you hen duo</mandarin> so I'm not sure which interpretation they are using or if the interpretations vary widely from one to another


yeah, exactly but I also don't want to start learning myself anyway so I am not in any rush to go do law


oh gosh but, yeah I I wanted to as <mandarin>轻松:qing song</mandarin> as like , yeah I don't know what's the as as <mandarin>丰富:feng fu</mandarin> life as possible before like I start withering my life away and giving like my livelihood, to


that's what I heard readings about readings, ya like hundreds of pages in one go is the norm, ya I have like two three, a day,


I guess legal theory, yeah, exactly it's fully academic is it doesn't make for an easy reading that's the hardest like


what do you call it like in mon the study guide right, like, but I guess that's of course also because we shouldn't according to hindsight


ya, yeah it's probably the modern equivalent of like shakespearian language in terms of like how removed it is from how we normally speak, I knew you would be I knew law and medicine were both the same like realm of consideration


yeah


(mmhmm), but why


but that's what I hate that's what I hate, no but it was not a active choice like you know what I was aiming for and


it wasn't law and, it wasn't locally so, yeah but it always sounds pretentious and I hate to say this to other people


but that's fine what and honestly I don't think my understanding of law is any deeper than yours and even with the expansion of your knowledge of law, I would I think it can still qualify as boring, but its most people with a shallow impression of law that think like law is exciting what


exactly so it's those sort of like <mandarin>电视剧的:dian shi ju de</mandarin> impression of law which is not the most informed uh impression


I guess


what oh in grey's anatomy is it no, yeah yeah yeah right, oh


okay that's nice okay not that I've like watched it myself before so I, I can't vouch or, I don't even know what the plot is, oh


, but that's every movie, the the best to get an impression of anything it's just still documentary and not a drama or a series


I dig documentaries though is the is is the bulk of what I watch on Netflix ya but


actually ya is it really is I have been watching quite a lot okay it depends on what you strictly considered as a documentary because like if you consider those food shows as documentary right, ya then, that ya that makes a huge difference, ah


no I haven't watched chef's table uh what's that dave no no no not reality TV but like , ugly delicious, ya, then there's another one, ya somebody feed failed then I saw that there's an episode featuring singaporean like eh eh <mandarin>看一下:kan yi xia</mandarin> leh


ya but a lot of like originals or documentaries are netflix exclusive one like street food that one


ya, oh my gosh you mean your netflix from went so far back


your netflix watching history, !huh! <mandarin>我用:wo yong</mandarin> oh oh okay okay that's not too long ago it's just that I'm fresh I guess to netflix


what type of documentaries do you like anyway


okay okay if your definition of nature is green I don't necessarily like it but if but I love delicious, ya, there's this one called chasing ice


to an extent so it's about this thing called the by this nat geo person photographer called the extreme ice survey so you put cameras on like I dont know eighteen locations in glaciers across the world for a few like three to five years then they tracked the changes in glaciers


then they found that ya some glaciers we see that as much in ten years as the previous hundred years before it, yeah it puts to


why not ya it's like I guess it's always hard to differentiate <mandarin>地理:di li</mandarin> from like other disciplines like, earth science geology, climatology,


I guess they are in the same family but no matter they are like you know, concentric circles or like venn diagrams I'm not sure how they play, , ya


ya ya ya, it's it's quite sad lah when you see like those like very barren rock surfaces those with a scarred surfaces a beside a glacier that have no trees lying on it like that's how much you know like the glacier has receded over the uh the years


ya, ya ya that's why that was the first thing I ever watched on netflix <mandarin>变得:bian de</mandarin> so that, I first thought of the of self searching online then I thought it was a netflix err exclusive then I that's when I thought I should get netflix


ya, it's a very, nerdy thing, !wah! those <mandarin>连续剧:lian xu ju</mandarin> I have not watch any emily in paris was quite good though


I cannot get over emily in paris I cannot, ya, , both the guys and girls


, you know I realize that I'm very dumb though there's like this internship right I was supposed to submit a contract then


my client signed already then I was I was looking at the uh err the submission portal I saw eh, then I submitted another contract then he signed already then he told me then I I went to the portal eh how come still haven't sign then I realised there's one field that I had to sign myself also for the first contract why it didn't go through was because I forgot to sign <mandarin>我的那一个:wo de na yi ge</mandarin>


so I was blur and I kind of mispplaced the blame on my client , no I blamed it on technical error


growing pains, ya, yeah <mandarin>希望是这样:xi wang shi zhe yang</mandarin> lah


since, , ya


, no like it it always it's always the insider outsider outsider perspective because like we live through it everyday but then you is just like from the outside looking inside


it's err mention every week or every two weeks so it'll come across as fast, ya


ya, , ya precisely ya so like the touch points okay oh I had hit a word it's a very moving coding word to use


ya, oh, wait so what have been watching on what have you been watching on netflix


is it is that a drama, oh my gosh I thought it was a reality TV show, I thought it was like shark tank korean version


!aiya! basically anything with drama the korean the koreans will make into a drama, , oh like catching up on the seasons is it


ya, classic basic, the crown, you know but a lot of things are apparently are not real lah right


like not factually accurate


, ya I ya I guess you we only know them for their press releases


in their, celebrity trips, ya, wait there's this new like docu series about uh


diana, ya ya ya, wait there's a new docu series about, sergeants surgeons oh gosh


the surgeon's cut, , it looks like, I don't think they can fake it if its a documentary


I I think I watch it, , ya


I think so, but even if the patient is not real


ya lah, even the patients not real if the doctor is real I will still trust him what,


oh my gosh that sounds like contract law at work, , it's great that that's a place where consent is actively talked about


, ya


, , so they test you on like the consultation of patient lah


, ya, !wah!


okay lah I guess it's only fair lah, ,


I guess because how much we know lah


, okay lah it's just one lah, ya


it's to see all sorts right,


the family doctor type of thing ah, ya


it's just like a factory right of like MCs,


ya, , ,


, ya,


I watched it eh no no no no I watched too hot to handle I didn't watch love island, too hot to handle is actually not as, trashy as the premise is ya as as it as it may sound


right, they are supposed to be refrain from like, , you know, activities involving more than one person but, it's, it's not just that lah like they are put through like workshops what not bla bla bla bla


and then there's also some level like, game theory at play because like of how the total money port is shared between people, but you'll get penalized for individual acts, I think it's quite interesting


wait as in like you not supposed to have you not supposed to kiss make up uh you not supposed to kiss make out or like you know, do the deed


not yourself or with any other person you're not supposed to do it at all, ya, it's not but abstinence is not, the uh center of the show is about okay depends on how you are looking at it lah the like the abstinence part is supposed to be like a lead in to like the the love workshops the person would just cannot be workshops for them to you know explore genuine connections and help them find the genuine connection in in the show


so, if you're looking for a trashy show, love island <mandarin>比较好:bi jiao hao</mandarin> ya no emily in paris I don't think emily in paris is trashy I think emily in paris is lighthearted


but it's hard to say that any drama significant content what


, I like that it's lighthearted lah, why not <mandarin>有时间就看:you shi jian jiu kan</mandarin> lor


eh, ya lah you in no hurry to complete them lah


that's why you watch documentaries because you don't need catching up, , isn't that modern family, I don't get the premise of modern family they always like such sort episodes and like


it's almost okay that one seems the most manufactured


, , but it's so short then it's like a few some bad moments laugh at it manufacture a laugh then move on like no meaning


fair I guess that was me with emily in paris so okay lah


, and especially because it was in the COVID period so we could see paris


, !wah! but the best place the best bakery that I went to was, in brussels not france


they had this really tiny sandwich, ya I think it's because I was in paris in the deep center of paris


but the french are so snobbish you won't have local friends, I tried I did not use it at all, I I I, I I did not learn much or enough to confidently use french at all


oh <mandarin>那些当然:nei xie dang ran</mandarin> lah,


wait turn left turn right is what <NEN> no, gosh <NEN> something right, then what's left


duolingo <mandarin>一直都:yi zhi dou</mandarin> miss <mandarin>那些课:nei xie ke</mandarin> like <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> lessons <mandarin>都很做到:dou hen zuo dao</mandarin> last minute


ya, two minutes okay maybe not four minutes five minutes


ya, ya, he is he is but then he's the one who also said that now he feels like, , I think he lost a bit of drive he put it on his story I think


french film festival [orh]


ya eh it's directed by, it's a french director but they might not they might have dubbed it in for singapore


sure, like I think same also, world war two


that's about charles de gaulle, president, or general ,


sounds about right ya, oh but but !wah! a very shitty airport , I still can't get over


the train, that's good what


eh wait, terminals ah two A dude there's two A B C D E F G, one three four terminals two A B C D are bad


you can count the number of shops in the terminal in each of two A B C D, because like they are separate terminals , two ya two, no you go google the layout like I don't think it's efficient at all


as opposed to like, no but the the the french airport agency has been picked as the planning, airport planning err authority for so many other airports in the world like Soekarno Hatta airport in indonesia Jakarta


no but the concept was actually brilliant, but it's just because of over err un eh it's because of err under capacity


like err, the at the gates right each gate has like maybe a small little like grass patch outside, quite interesting


it's only because it's damn crowded,


supposed to be but the french failed on their first attempt, second attempt, , [orh] I like heathrow though okay but that is because I went to the best item knowing heathrow lah


it depends on which terminal like skytrax same ah the ranking eh err heathrow is number one eh heathrow terminal five is number one eh, Changi airport <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> number one eh, terminal three is maybe like number two or three but in terms of the voting awards best terminal


but overall airport


, actually terminal one when they finally did the revamp it was long overdue ah terminal two also I think, remember the the very dangly waterfall the round waterfall at terminal one


ya it's that old, every terminal has mcdonald's what, no meh


ya <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor, sure, nothing is holding you back what, you <mandarin>慢慢了会越来越有空吗:man man le hui yue lai yue you kong ma</mandarin> so <mandarin>就就去一下:jiu jiu qu yi xia</mandarin> lor


ya jewel is not dead, at all,


[orh], !wah! I remember , dans and I was dropping you off no sending you off or something


from to vietnam, ya you went to vietnam on your own to catch your parents there who left before you, ya that was a long time ago


we did, ya !wah!


!wah! <mandarin>连:lian</mandarin> JB <mandarin>都想:dou xiang</mandarin> , at that time that point in time I thought it was trashy, ya


ya lah <mandarin>一定:yi ding</mandarin> lah, !wah!, I went to europe ah, today was when COVID already was a thing


that was cute you were joking about me like closing down the restaurant because I was infectious , ya


, I did I had half a message and I didn't have a government MOH one I had a, SAF one, ya


I came back the weekend before it was put in place, , ya <mandarin>我记得那那新闻刚出来的时候我的:wo ji de na na xin wen gang chu lai de shi hou wo de</mandarin> sergeant major <mandarin>就就就问我:jiu jiu jiu wen wo</mandarin> eh #jia xiang# <mandarin>那你你还在兵营做什么:na ni ni hai zai bing ying zuo shen me</mandarin>


where did you go I can't even remember, oh right okay


ya, !aiya!, wait what what's a what's a vaccine called <mandarin>疫苗:yi miao</mandarin> right, !aiya! I I don't know what to say but ya


, there's hope there's hope there's hope, but you just have to join the very back of the queue, then they will tell you to go manufacture a cheaper vaccine what


or is that for the pharmacy students to figure, , , oh true, okay


so the doctor is the one that does the err diagnosis then the biochemist is the one that makes up the, medicine, formulate, right, okay


, !wah!, interesting


err ya but that's a long time ago, , nope,


err okay I will try to understand, , okay ah, but not, man, chemistry no not for me


ya, then, one is it no moderna wanted to to err get like faster approval in singapore right


moderna the the other vaccine maker, I don't think we use pfizer I don't think it was pfizer that apply


ya it should be I think, a majority vaccinated is just internal liberalization but whether we have to establish for successful air travel bubbles but very dependent on the other countries vaccination also


no but there needs to be a certain level like that herd immunity for a vaccination to be successful what or to to actually like be effective right is it that's what I heard lah, (mmhmm)


(hmm) okay fair, !wah!


!hey! but, at the same time what's that ah err, the bakeries just opened a lot right the joy luck teahouse they open a lot of places then the, tai cheong bakery also open a lot of places so I don't miss it too much


, ya lor you got invited to hong kong like err ODAC trip or something that I wasn't invited to


!aiya! so sad, , err but okay lah I don't think like hong kong is a place I like too much like singapore it's like singapore on steroids


ya, I can't do it, it's it's still new zealand for me


not always though it can be very hot leh there was a few days at hong kong I couldn't stand, I went in the winter leh there were a few days that were damn hot eh


, ah, twenty eight degrees and you scream hot, those are the type of country I wanna be in


the I think there are a few places right like twenty four twenty six is considered abnormal, ya !wah! but depends on where you are so like top, northern tip of new zealand is sub tropical mah so <mandarin>热还是热的:re hai shi re de</mandarin> lah


australia is the one that's hot because of I guess like the huge land mass


north or south, ya, ya, the, ya correct


ya, ya, that's why end new zealand like a few years ago for you know their christmas campaign right they released this


it was a spoof of winter wonderland like they released a song called summer wonderland changed the lyrics to make it a new zealand err christmas song, ya which


no but it shouldn't be weird what like, this is the prevailing western northern hemisphere that have the narrative that christmas must be in snow, exactly, , ya, a lot of things are


no but also right it's very common for europeans right to take like, ya


ya ya and it's very common that's why like the budget carriers always advertise this type of places


it's just it's just only because you want what you don't have or what you want what you can't have lah


, err I guess, like, we will always look at the other end of the spectrum and think about what if it was that way


and because you don't have it you kind idolise it lah, ya, (mmhmm), like dozens of type, I think


okay that's not a good example but like, you you always when you look at the western countries their ideal holiday is like


oh, it's it's funny lah


(mmhmm), , ah, but oh well I guess, in having that, unfulfilled satisfaction is, is is still important to like for some level of growth or like


all that curiosities, what drives, discovery and advancements


that should only be applicable if you are a person who complains but does not put the energy towards something else lah, but if you complain a lot and you are someone who acts on those complaints then, all well what so be it lah complain <mandarin>更多:geng duo</mandarin> lor


channel <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> energy, !hey! but it's a privileged thing to think that if you complain about singapore you should move somewhere else what


like, like if I mean there are things that I don't like here but like do I think that I'm doing my part to you know maybe like affecting in my own way I think so ah like, I don't know even


I, I don't think so because your as as what we said just now what like you know chasing their like the ideals right your definition of what you want will keep shifting what, and especially if like I'm gonna pin my idea of what I want to new zealand new zealand is err constantly improving itself also what


like I could look at new zealand and be like oh that place is so darn great but new zealanders be complaining right now also, they are complaining right now their home prices, ya, they are complaining that their home prices are too high eh they want a capital gains tax then I mean


our our home prices are higher lah , ya, the price you pay for a for a apartment is what they pay for a townhouse what I think


, eh, not really, but for us yes ah we can still buy their property


I think the the rules still applies so you have to be like, they call it what like <mandarin>投资移民:tou zi yi min</mandarin> ah, so <mandarin>你要在那里:ni yao zai na li</mandarin> err, the err <mandarin>创业然后要不知道要请多少本你的那个公司要请多少本地人然后真的营业多久了它才会给你:chuang ye ran hou yao bu zhi dao yao qing duo shao ben ni de na ge gong si yao qing duo shao ben di ren ran hou zhen de ying ye duo jiu le ta cai hui gei ni</mandarin> err err PR status you know


ya, I think so and then there's also like a needs based skilled migration where you have to be you have to prove proficiency in like a sector that they err need foreign err talent in okay that part is the one that is far more similar to singapore ya


the high skilled foreign labour ya but I don't think singapore does like the enter investment shit, okay they do lah they do lah ya, but in a not an, ya, so ya that's


no, err, oh as in will I actively consider no but it will always dangle in my mind, okay maybe is not that I won't consider but is that I don't expect no


realistically foresee myself becoming moving anywhere


not necessarily what


ah no in fact NS reminded me sometimes even more so the differences that existed between me and my friends like, okay not and and other people like, and people saying


you have both an accent in english and in chinese, ya things like that


ya you could say that, but then again it's also how you see NS if you see NS as just a a liability your two years you just like go to the step to the hoops and get out of then, you won't necessarily see it as something that ties you down to the country what


ya but then again exactly ah and the way I see like national belonging is not in terms of like that sort of militaristic like I will defend your fight fight for you for my life thought of like, mentality but it's more so like I think it's more so in terms of like


it's one thing to see social progress ah so to me like serving the military is just, it's just a distraction ah do I do I think it makes me like the country more no


ya, , but that's also because it's a complex equation like, as much as they should be to your to your country like it's also too abstract and like novel an idea for most to gross


ya, honestly right, I don't know what the person listening to this is gonna think about our conversation


!whoa!, wait wait wait wait


(mmhmm), wait how's hall life, it seems very interesting from your stories,


but then it's cause like you are in a scholar's hall what, that's why it's in the news mah


, , as in i wouldnt say it's different from hall the more I think


yeah, yeah, ya ya ya ya ya


, why so


but <mandarin>为什么:wei shen me</mandarin> leh


, [orh]


ya can see,


oh okay


I dunno it's about an hour already right, okay sure you should you can end it here right, okay


eh this <mandarin>你有没有看最近的:ni you mei you kan zui jin de</mandarin> football matches ah 那个 champions league <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> europa league


really meh like every time like recent years we always buy for you #Bayern Munich# jersey and I mean sometimes got Liverpool jersey lah but we thought that you mainly supported err #Bayern Munich# that's why we always buy for you #Bayern Munich# jerseys


[orh] <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> I I always remember that you support that polish striker Lewandowski then you wanted his jersey also


oh okay I mean anyway so the recent score for Liverpool again ah


Midtjylland <mandarin>那么小的:na me xiao de</mandarin> team from norway <mandarin>也是可以:ye shi ke yi</mandarin> draw <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> Liao


but I mean experience I thought Klopp was very Ups he can use youth players until use until like trent or or robertson like that make them damn Ups in few games


okay but I mean, as you see my team so good Real Madrid win two nil eh against Monchengladbach


yes but now Real Madrid is in a slip everything also have this kind of slips one what you see Barcelona Liverpool err Man United Juventus all these teams also have their slips, and it's normal without ronaldo how do you expect us to


play like that <mandarin>你要靠:ni yao kao</mandarin> hazard <mandarin>靠:kao</mandarin> Benzema <mandarin>靠:kao</mandarin> Vinicius junior <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> players


I mean I would say two years is enough but the thing is hazard's, few millions and he can't even adhere to a simple diet with a private chef <mandarin>很容易的:hen rong yi de</mandarin> what


no leh when he was fat he wasn't actually that good it was before that when he was at Barca at at at Real Madrid he was, a normal weight he was, he was, actually damn fast it was only after he retired then he became fat and that's why you have the perception of him being fat all the time but actually he wasn't


but you also have to compare because, I like told you before strikers <mandarin>很容他们只要有那个:hen rong ta men zhi yao you na ge</mandarin> position attacking position awareness <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> lethality of <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> striker to score goals


I mean <mandarin>如果还是:ru guo hai shi</mandarin> play striker is different case ah I think he will still do okay but because he's a winger he needs to maintain his agility and and and quickness but, obviously with that kind of shape very difficult ah


slow but no fitness, slow but no fitness there's no point what


okay, okay anyways pass this topic, I feel that Real Madrid, just needs some time, to get back into the gears and I'm sure that they will dominate the league the league and the champions league once again I'm sure zidane will find his way


to win three champions league in a row again, and become the best of the whole football world


and then afterwards develop from there I'm sure that I have full trust in him, I mean maybe that there are better managers out there <mandarin>可是我真的相信他有那个能力:ke shi wo zhen de xiang xin ta you na ge neng li</mandarin> and <mandarin>他那些:ta nei xie</mandarin> football IQ as a manager <mandarin>他没有:ta mei you</mandarin> maybe as as a footballer <mandarin>可是他需要时间:ke shi ta xu yao shi jian</mandarin> as a manager to develop


of course I don't deny that the star players really make a difference lah as I told you just now what the teams without the star players they suffer a lot I'm sure that one's ronaldo use uh use, leaves Juventus once #zlatan ibrahimovic# leaves the #AC Milan# these two teams will struggle again but


Juventus maybe won't as much because they have more financial capabilities


and knowledge and you can't compare him to Solskjær as well because Solskjær you show me what what trophies he won cup cup games


these are, like the local cups in england these are minute trophies compared to three champions league in a row and few #la ligas# as well these are stuff that you can't discount from him


but as long as it works as long as it gives them the results there is nothing much to say right and anyways now we've moved past the point of of solely depending on ronaldo so there's not much else you can say because he's still doing okay


and Benzema is now carrying us


I mean, yes you say that you can just kick it forward <mandarin>可是你也是看有些:ke shi ni ye shi kan you xie</mandarin> teams 的 tactics that is similar to Real Madrid such as Man U under Mourinho


they didn't manage to win champions league and leagues titles with it not really so you have to see you have to see the situation and yes I know benzema's old that's why as I said we were in the transition phase <mandarin>现在好像:xian zai hao xiang</mandarin> Barcelona <mandarin>一样:yi yang</mandarin> lah <mandarin>他们有:ta men you</mandarin> #ansu fati# <mandarin>我们有:wo men you</mandarin> Vinicius junior <mandarin>我们也是想:wo men ye shi xiang</mandarin> build up


!walao! eh you compare the europa league and the FA cup to to the champions league and the #la liga# titles, it's nothing the FA cup you they don't even play their the most teams don't even play their first team, you see Liverpool playing in the FA cup they play their youth team leh


you really think that winning the FA cup and especially at a time when Liverpool and Man City was not very dominant, it's not it wasn't the, it wasn't as big as Real Madrid winning the champions league and the #la liga# because at that time Barcelona was very competitive with Real Madrid so to win the #la liga# although with only a two team battle for the top place is still very difficult for them to do so <mandarin>也是要看:ye shi yao kan</mandarin> from <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> perspective what


as in I never say that youth players are not good but I'm saying that, compared to do you know Mourinho actually place a lot of his first team for this stupid cup games which is quite, you comparing, experienced players versus eighteen and nineteen year olds it's very difficult for the eighteen and ninety year olds to win and I'm not discounting the fact that they won the europa league I'm saying that compared to Zidane'S achievements


with Real Madrid, I would say that they are pretty minute, and anyways I mean now we can talk about Liverpool ah Liverpool also, they they also ah they also needed time under Klopp to improve, the first year they also won't say that good


and they required time to build up


I mean I never say that Zidane was the right manager but I think that, so I say that


and I mean money may be one he may be depending a lot on money but, that's just how, how it works if you really want to develop players, if if you want to develop the team instantaneously in minimally five years


but if you, need time to build, then obviously, that one you have to rely on youth such as how ferguson did I'm sure ferguson straightaway when he came


he wasn't his team wasn't like top already but it required time to build, but obviously Real Madrid as a top club, doesn't really have that time to build so he needs to use money, then you compare with Klopp, Klopp also spend a lot of money what then you can't really say that Zidane


uses too much money as well, you see how much your #van dijk#, cost how much your Fabinho cost how much Salah cost okay I mean they're not that much but these are you guys kind of ready bought ready made players


I don't discount the fact that you guys, brought out the players you guys develop the players, it still doesn't discount the fact that, you guys spend the money, in order to be able to develop the players I'm saying that you guys managed to do that is because you guys managed to buy


at least half made or three quarters made players already so


okay anyways now we can maybe like talk about what we want to eat later for lunch leh, I quite hungry already


!wah! <mandarin>很难:hen nan</mandarin> eh I have a lot of favourite leh, korean japanese western all, whatever you give me I also eat what, !wah! one dish ah


one dish ah a bit difficult eh but, for me you can never go wrong with a good steak I would say, steak cook


I mean steak has a lot of different cuts, and, I guess that each cut, has a different taste a different, a different texture a different, and also have different types of beef as well you can maybe eat one day you can eat Wagyu other day you can eat


you can eat like the normal kind which you will find at like err steak houses, so actually you can I would say you can never go wrong like let's say you don't want to eat that, that fatty that much, that fatty of a food today <mandarin>你就可以:ni jiu ke yi</mandarin> choose <mandarin>那个先:na ge xian</mandarin> normal <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> beef what but <mandarin>如果你先你今天很想:ru guo ni xian ni jin tian hen xiang</mandarin> indulge on <mandarin>就可以吃:jiu ke yi chi</mandarin> a a five Wagyu


then <mandarin>配一个红酒喝:pei yi ge hong jiu he</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>我觉得挺:wo jue de ting</mandarin> Shiok eh


I mean I guess, I mean I guess you can constitute, as beef ah but for me, specifically steak is the one that I would say and some more steak good for the gains right


I mean, that's why if you said it is one dish that I would, want to eat for the rest of my life obviously you must neglect the health and the money cost ah because who got money to eat steak everyday, but anyways if your favorite one dish that you will eat for the rest of your life leh


what the #char kway teow# you you say my steak unhealthy then you choose #char kway teow# what is this irony sia, I mean #char kway teow# nice lah but I I will feel is quite jelak leh like, if you really going to eat it every day for the rest of your life


I think I cannot I think is too too fat too oily too fatty, for me to be able to consume it every single day, for every meal


no as in like maybe you can experiment with the different types of cooking styles as well <mandarin>你可以吃:ni ke yi chi</mandarin> blue <mandarin>可以吃:ke yi chi</mandarin> medium rare <mandarin>可以吃:ke yi chi</mandarin> rare then <mandarin>如果你有一天:ru guo ni you yi tian</mandarin> go crazy <mandarin>你可以吃:ni ke yi chi</mandarin> well done eh


but at least to me I feel that steak has at least a little more variety than #char kway teow# #char kway teow# is too one dimensional for me, and I don't really agree on what you say bland or #wok hei# because if it's #char kway teow# you would want to eat it with #wok hei# what why would you eat bland #char kway teow#


and I mean


that's why <mandarin>我我:wo wo</mandarin> that's why <mandarin>我就问你:wo jiu wen ni</mandarin> Shake Shack <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> Shake Shack <mandarin>就是我最喜欢的:jiu shi wo zui xi huan de</mandarin> what


then <mandarin>加那个:jia na ge</mandarin> cheese fries <mandarin>加那个:jia na ge</mandarin> shake


I mean okay then for your second dish eh I mean for me I said burger what but then for you eh


but <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> KBBQ <mandarin>太:tai</mandarin> generic eh like <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> you have to pinpoint onto one specific food, because I mean if you have variety is okay but KBBQ is too generic because you can cook anything and call it KBBQ what I think you need like maybe if it's specifically like pork belly


for for what you would go to like for me if it is KBBQ you know that I will always go for the bacon, and then eat it with the lettuce, and for you like maybe you like the the pork collar so you have to like tell me specifically what like you want to eat for KBBQ that really makes you want to go lah because


KBBQ really too generic and I mean KBBQ slash Yakiniku is too generic, to be put as a second choice ah and that's why you know I can just say western first japanese second korean third


no lah but that one is in singapore because they always put it as a mostly put it as a buffet because, singaporean is Kiasu what so you are more more more worth it for your price what but in korea mostly is all #a la carte#, so you have to see also what because


and then in korea you're not gonna order everything that you will normally eat in a singaporean KBBQ buffet what you will order the things that you like so that's why I ask you specifically what in the KBBQ would you order


oh ya <mandarin>那次你去:na ci ni qu</mandarin> japan <mandarin>对吗很好玩:dui ma hen hao wan</mandarin> ah


you got go Hokkaido this I know the snow there very nice right


Hakone <mandarin>在哪里:zai na li</mandarin> ah, [orh] <mandarin>是不是:shi bu shi</mandarin> mount


oh <mandarin>所以你有你有去看那个:suo yi ni you ni you qu kan na ge</mandarin> mount Fuji ah, mount


just a small small hill or what


!wah! but then if you want to climb all the way up leh cause I mean I don't mind trying to like hike up ah, like is it very steep or is it like actual like climbing mountain or is it like walking up like maybe like macritchie reservoir like that


like I know macritchie reservoir not very high up but it's very steep and stuff


!huh! <mandarin>我在:wo zai</mandarin> army


I mean I don't mind lah cause I will say maybe I have, enough fitness to try lah


the food leh like compared to singapore, is it like much nicer and cheaper


what, five dollars a lot leh, so you think that you can eat two you can eat two meals there and it will be equals to like eating one japanese meal in singapore ah


I mean, expected that the local food will be more cheaper ah but it's not it's not say very surprising lah but, the most important is like, it's the taste like, can can you replicate the taste in singapore because as in you you have to think about like they have to transport all the ingredients over so obviously more expensive but as long as singapore can get almost the same taste I would say that it's not that badly done by singapore


no lah I not only talking about Ramen like I mean I'm not a very big fan of Ramen as well ah but talking about maybe like uh Sushi all the Yakiniku all the rice bowls or they equipped are they able to compete with is singapore able to compete with I mean not say compete but at least can they


at least replicate, three quarters of the level that japan does


this sounds a lot like Busan sia, I mean that time in Busan when I was there


!wah! the seafood really really cheap, like I bought uh my friends and I bought king crab, is a is bigger than my whole palm right, and its meat it was so juicy so sweet and there was so much meat and it only costed like two hundred dollars and I think in singapore you you buy that right


it will cost like five hundred dollars eh and it's two hundred dollars split between like five people, !wah! super worth it I say
