do you know that, you mean you didn't know yeah, ah


oh is it, err err err, ah six to seven years yeah yeah yeah yeah


the world is so small [right], I mean Hannor, I think so I think they use the


err, those methodist school their principal, ah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I think so okay maybe we should talk about other topic more interesting topic


so if you are not going to eat dinner there [right] you will eat somewhere near is it


near there then go have dessert


you mean it's a it's a cafe a restaurant or or what, oh, oh


yeah, ah they have many many different they branch out many different err what you call that different type of food [right] then have you heard of Le Shrimp


oh, ah I like that one also, oh the collagen soup is good I like


I think it's quite nice ah the broth is a prawn broth and then err <mandarin>它的:ta de</mandarin> noodles <mandarin>是好像:shi hao xiang</mandarin> ramen <mandarin>拉面好像:la mian hao xiang</mandarin> ramen noodles and then you choose the type of ingredients you want lah


and <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> pork chop <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> noodle <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> soup hor I think is like pork bone broth ah <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> <mandarin>很好喝:hen hao he</mandarin> lor then then <mandarin>他会:ta hui</mandarin> add <mandarin>那个咸菜啊:na ge xian cai a</mandarin> so overall the taste is good and then during the CB period cannot eat there [right] so we liked to Dabao because if you Dabao I think you get thirty percent off I can't remember so it's very worth it mah thirty percent off eh so we <mandarin>我么就会打包回来:wo me jiu hui da bao hui lai</mandarin> then <mandarin>他会给很多:ta hui gei hen duo</mandarin> soup leh that I will I will keep hor a big container of soup


in the fridge one one container in the fridge then I use the rest of the soup then the next one or two days [right] can use the soup to cook noodles and all that actually is very nice, Le Shrimp then shrimp is <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> prawn


S H R I M P ah err I think only got a couple of branches only err star vista <mandarin>有一间咯:you yi jian lo</mandarin> then hor it's [right] beside the Beauty In A Pot, you all don't eat steamboat one !huh! outside


unhygienic, oh okay for the Beauty In The Pot [right] they give a lot of serving then hor they give this very long chopstick so hor


somehow [right] we are used to because and my children are very lazy to cook so we just put everything in then we use a chopstick to take out so !huh! and then we use the ladle to scoop the soup so actually hor I find that eating in Beauty In The Pot [right] the steamboat is very hygienic unlike hor <mandarin>好像你跟:hao xiang ni gen</mandarin> family <mandarin>吃:chi</mandarin> [right] then people tend to use their own chopstick to go and go and pick up then I find it's very unhygienic


especially during chinese new year !eww!, then you know so many relative [right] eh yeah I find is very


yeah lor, !huh! if not you don't eat ah, but <mandarin>不可以:bu ke yi</mandarin> leh because we are there whole day, then !wah! if I don't eat uh lunch or dinner !wah! very hungry

eh so now, so now since your churches is only two hundred over people [right] and then they say places of worship can


go up to fifty people is it or hundred fifty or hundred, okay fifty people [right] so your church allow people to go for err service or not

I I will lose track because


oh like that hor I can fully focus eh err my sermon hor I think ah wait ah let me count ah twelve, err at least one hour maybe one hour one and a half like that so sometimes like if it gets too long [right], I I cannot focus already

then we get to know each other better then we play some games like code names, like, undercover, ya lor


total, or like individual days


oh, no but, faculty camp <mandarin>还有一个:hai you yi ge</mandarin> talk, during the, UOC it's more for fun mah


so during UOC they, never really talk about the stars, or like, other things, UOC is just have fun play game, most of the time, yeah


yeah, I get I get, but <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> talk is more for like, they introduce a student union itself


apparently, you know,


(uh huh)


no not not in that sense


you know like different branches of taking care of students, , yeah


by like their responsibilities one, like two different department <mandarin>他们有不一样的:ta men you bu yi yang de</mandarin> task


I'm considering actually, to join, I can join like as a sub comm member lah, no what cause you know like


you have to go for elections and stuff again, and then I want to have a, idea of their workload, see whether I can cope I don't want just jump into EXCO again like in JC lah then I mess up my studies


(uh huh), overnight


(oo), Boliao, yeah but I mean I was thinking about it ah then I see the


and it could be a good portfolio kind of thing, so ya, considering


I mean it's not just okay, this kind of thing <mandarin>不是只是:bu shi zhi shi</mandarin> portfolio mah, if you can develop better soft skills inside, it will definitely help you in the working world, ya so for me it's not just about


like, yeah not not just about the portfolio but being there to learn, how to work people, develop soft skill, yeah


I mean I, that's why I want to join the sub comm and experience a bit first also it's not jump into EXCO and tank everything


sub committee members lor is like do a bit of Saikang and help with the planning, (uh huh)


(uh huh), ya I think I think it's like that also, cause they never mention explicitly they talk more about the EXCO side of things, ah


cause the sub comm not as <mandarin>重要:zhong yao</mandarin> mah, they want to attract people to be EXCO


but the thing is that video that, they show us right is the, trailer for joining UOC already, ah ah


I mean, yeah maybe last year they didn't expect it but this year COVID nineteen circuit breaker <mandarin>肯定会:ken ding hui</mandarin> expect <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> virtual orientation <mandarin>这种东西:zhe zhong dong xi</mandarin> mah


(uh huh), they have a lot of, as in I'm not blaming them for anything I, I'm saying that the the video is not


how to say


ah


yeah, but okay lah they got arrange meet up I guess, and not as of now but they got say let's arrange to meet up so yeah I guess the GLs very Shag then they go and sleep first when they wake up maybe we start arranging


tomorrow, I mean


yeah everyone is about there lor, and, yeah


, you think the UOC one Sibei impressive ah, that one is budget one meh I thought it's just like students' capabilities


do they they don't pay the students to do it right, yeah, (uh huh), (uh huh) uh that one need budget lah


is it UOC <mandarin>的食物不好吃:de shi wu bu hao chi</mandarin> , must have good food, buffet


then still got vodka, what , is it, (hmm)


maybe, but like those those at Sentosa kind, then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> cater food also


(uh huh), potato ball you mean like those <mandarin>菜饭:cai fan</mandarin> kind ah


the the one like it's not in ball lah but it's like slices of potato, chunks of it, oh that one


oh that one, NS I eat it all the time you know Bergedil, maybe you should go through NS, then you like oh my ration today got Bergedil Shiok


yeah I know, and you know, it's okay you will learn to cross it, or you will take status for it


legit eh got this this guy in my camp, he scared of heights one then he climb up there right he don't want come down then he spend like one hour plus up there, then the rest of us sitting down waiting for him, then then he got he got see MO right


legit, ask for, excuse height or something, excuse SOC, then he don't need to do anymore


uh, yes and no, then what what can we do, like let's say <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> BMT hor <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> Geng hor


responsible of <mandarin>别人的:bie ren de</mandarin> life eh


yeah I get what you mean like my officers not, they are not people that we would, be buddy buddy with, sergeants are like the buddy buddy lor


navy officer, the, the man that you control ah


the way that you, control them is different like for example <mandarin>你懂:ni dong</mandarin> #yong kang# <mandarin>他是:ta shi</mandarin> officer mah <mandarin>可是是:ke shi shi</mandarin> navy hor, navy <mandarin>全部都是:quan bu dou shi</mandarin> regular


so the lowest rank on your navy ship right is a sergeant for example, ah, there's nothing below a sergeant so there's no men like, I am just a corporate right there's no corporate in a navy ship


yeah so it's slightly different, so he will be more sergeant like towards his men cause he's like their sergeant sergeant, then the sergeants have no men, ya but in terms of toxic-ness I think


it's what Hossen was referring to is it like they very backstab or like they drink a lot which which kind of toxic leh, oh


, is like it's like Wayang king lor, you go through OCS like you have to Wayang a lot then the superior like you, then maybe you can


no it's okay the the thing about Wayang is not that, of course, acting, showing the good side, to the, superior, it a good thing mah, that is not wrong but the meaning of Wayang is more like


actually he's not like that one, is it not Tan Lim ah


forget, I go and google [orh] is ivan Lim, for this ah


yeah, is damn shit lah


why not, ah but


but in in this case, being a good leader is part of your responsibility also it's like being a manager, you have to manage people and that's your responsibility what you cannot say being a manager right you treat your


workers like shit then you suck up to the, people above you, eh, managing them well is also part of your responsibility mah


yeah, I guess it's it's the way you treat


the people lor like the way you look at them respect your whether you respect them, if you can respect them, you can like see them as, people, how do I put it, you don't you don't look down on them lah


cause looking down on them you confirm will not treat them well, for example, yeah, ya lor


eh


I want to be a leader ah, cause, it's something that I, admire like being able to lead people well


something that I want to work towards lah, and I'll never be able to do that being a follower mah, but then again like, how to say, just because you are a follower does not mean that you are not a leader also like you know the the saying


everyone's a leader in school, not just because you are not a student leader doesn't mean you're not a leader, ah , no, as in, it is, true in a stance that


yes you don't need to be a leader to step up, to like assume leadership, responsibilities for example, yeah, just because you are not labelled a leader doesn't mean you're not a leader


it's like I call you, stupid doesn't mean you are stupid, yeah lah, if you don't do your like you don't lead people then even though you are called leader it doesn't mean anything what right, I don't have to call you a leader for you to become a leader


I don't have to make you a manager for you to be able to like, manage people


yeah you mean the managing expectations things lah, it, (uh huh), (uh huh)


(uh huh)


(uh huh), (uh huh), but that one is it can be in a past what, doesn't mean that <mandarin>现在他是一个:xian zai ta shi yi ge</mandarin> leader, more what's that word capable ah better at leading others


but you're not the leader what, and like, there's also like how to say, there's also the saying that the first follower is also a leader


for a leader to lead, they must have follower lah for example, the first person, that has like the courage to go and follow the leader, is a leader to lead other people into following him


yeah it's like having the bravery to support someone else, like, ideas I guess


ah, what do you see,


so what about it, yeah how to even answer, what


why leh cause your life very bland, yeah, no I mean I think this is a question about your humility


like


(uh huh) (uh huh) that's why that's why this is not a question about, whether you are a good person or not but more of towards your, ability to area


yeah, if a job interview ask me


!wah!, this kind of question so hard to answer, I mean I think I will just eat, normal food


like you know like <mandarin>菜饭:cai fan</mandarin> or whatever, about the same as regularly what I'm eating now lah, eat chicken rice maybe once in a while eat good food, good restaurant those kind, ah


but like ya, it's not about how nice is the food what no meh it's about, it's like, shit


will you, , K it depends on what you deserve so what is, do you deserve to be treated badly cause of your karma then you will get bad meat


bad food I guess, if you deserve to be treated well it's a good food, comes around lah, know


eh, yeah


okay what about morality


(uh huh), (mmhmm) but then also depends on the culture that, that you are asking these questions you know


ya are are you asking me or you are asking for, what are you asking for my like, do I think it's immoral do you, asking for like err society's perception


(uh huh), I do


(uh huh)


I would say it's not lah, yes


okay, but like, this kind of thing, yeah one person cannot decide whether it's moral or not, like


for me I cannot I cannot say that it's immoral to, steal to support your family cause you have no other options what correct, why does my opinion matter this kind of thing it's more of like a, societal point of view like


like hive mind, yeah, yes, but like I alone am not able to decide


like whether the act is immoral or not, of course I will have my opinions on it, and if I happen to be a very vocal person about, this kind of things and like social justice warrior, I will voice it out I will say, !hey! you know this guy


he shouldn't deserve to be treated like this, even though he stole he was doing it to, keep his family afloat lah, and, yes, there may be people supporting me, and my point of view


got people against me, and it, it's just like, whichever side got the more support, will ultimately be the, outcome I guess, the democracy yeah


, (uh huh), (uh huh)


okay


yeah I do it's like children's, morals are shaped by, what they see what they observe,


(uh huh), oh , what, I guess


(uh huh), yeah


yeah


okay, , err wait where is that supposed to go, or it's just, yeah


oh, okay for me I mean when I was younger, like, before P one lah


uh like my family and my grandma stay together, with my cousins, so a lot of people cramped together, then I went to kindergarten there ah, like


ah, so I would spend my days with my grandmother and my cousins, playing, watching TV all those


then I guess from there I I picked up morals from TV shows also, like I watch a lot of those like tom and jerry ah, ben ten ah, like


no, I like the episodes where tom and jerry like , they work together to like do some shit, cause of my favourite episode is not like when they fight all the time


yeah lor watch like ben ten watch like those what kids next door teen titans, yeah


I don't have any like, what do you what do you call it, very strong impressions of anything eh, but


(uh huh), but for you is that you you just have this memory of your mum being very fierce to you scolding you all the time you know


okay, (uh huh)


(mmhmm)


then what was your default reaction leh


(uh huh), I think both plays a part leh, you cannot say like


and it's not like <mandarin>只有:zhi you</mandarin> nurture <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> nature, I think nurturing is important lah


yeah yeah it's the more important one the more significant one, percentage how to give percentage what thirty seventy


then what's your percentage, I give you already what thirty seventy, why leh


(uh huh), (uh huh)


(hmm)


okay, but as in for you, because your formative years like when you were younger, and like the way that they raise you


maybe like like that got culture shock in a way yeah, eh


no leh, no leh never see


firms ah, broadcasting, she's so old already she can meh I thought like, yeah yeah now now the people what they debut at eighteen what sixteen also have


insane eh, trainees were like, teenagers


ya lor, that's understandable


yeah


that's why a lot of them got self esteem issues what a lot of them struggle with their weight, their body image, their environment yeah I think it is


it's like, it's like how to say when you're growing up right, then the things that your parents say, it may not make sense to you even after you grow old but they still stick with you all the way


yeah, and like these these things that they do will shape the way that you act for the rest of your life what


as in can change but it's like a, is instinct, yeah it is it's like <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> change <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> instinct <mandarin>是很难的:shi hen nan de</mandarin> mah


maybe, yeah it could be


but yeah I don't I don't have, very distinct memories of how I was raised, all I remember is like, certain, scoldings from my mother, like that


nature versus nurture lor, it can skip generation what it can just pop out in a certain why or what that's cause my parents are like that doesn't mean I will be born the same way as them right


I I cannot see lah but okay, yeah I I wasn't I don't know them well lah


but, yeah I do see similarities between me and my parents too, like, the way that my ah no ah they not my words ah


I I, try to make them not hurtful as much as I can unless I'm trying to be savage, and like, it's something that my mum does also lah


and even though she never like, how to say, yeah something that I picked up from her I guess, I don't know I don't know whether you consider that, nature or nurture but it's a similarity I have with them


then for my father is like, my, quiet self, see ah cause my father has been working in China for over ten years more than half of my life


no no no no no, he was in Singapore for awhile, but when I was like, my first memory of being alive in this world my father start working in China already


yeah but, she was around to help raise me also


yeah but, I cannot remember but yeah I very similar to my dad in like the sense that I am very quiet around strangers and stuff, then that's my mum, my mum is the talkative one


yeah lor, so we are like, both our combination of our parents in a way, yeah


yeah but I don't I look a lot like my dad, yeah I look more like a mix people say I look more like my mum, and my brother look more like my dad


is it, what, no


yeah, today was pretty hot yeah


these past few days <mandarin>都没有下到雨:dou mei you xia dao yu</mandarin> ah, (hmm)


oh speaking of Llaollao, I was playing the undercover game ah you know the, the one where, the undercover guy don't know the words


then for the agents ah the people that know the words, they were given, about six and one


ah


groups then <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> sub group hor


then they they give more than one word, so some people got Llaollao some people got Yole, then like they ask like some everyone must describe something about the thing lah, then yeah come to me right then I was like, ha cause I got Llaollao then most of the other people got Yole I think


then I said oh the thing is two words long, has two syllables, no no then the people were like, (hmm) got two two words one meh do you mean two syllabus then I was like I looking at it then I was like, yeah got two words and two syllabus ah


then is like (hmm) (hmm) so suspicious cause they didn't he get Llaollao they get Yole, then <mandarin>我以为我是:wo yi wei wo shi</mandarin> <mandarin>我是:wo shi</mandarin> undercover, the spy doesn't get anything the spy has to guess what words we get


uh, yeah, how long I don't they they get Yole I only know that I got Llaollao I don't know what other people get


and then <mandarin>如果是仔细的:ru guo shi zi xi de</mandarin> description hor then <mandarin>就知道我不是:jiu zhi dao wo bu shi</mandarin> spy Liao mah <mandarin>如果我可以给他这么:ru guo wo ke yi gei ta zhe me</mandarin> specific, so, if I can give something specific, it means other people say already got one person say it's cold one person say it's dessert <mandarin>那个人讲这个是:na ge ren jiang zhe ge shi</mandarin> snack


the <mandarin>白色的:bai se de</mandarin> meh


ah you rewind time for me lah I go back okay create time machine, yeah lor


for what I use it for myself lah, I use it for myself I invest in stocks I don't even need marketing make big bucks


I think the


, no that time we didn't have much time to talk about it cause on the way home already then he


yeah but okay the point is, I don't think he pays that much per transaction, he say he pays a bit, that one is at twenty five dollar thing meh talk about last time


!huh!, ya okay back to my undercover game that you want to build a time machine for


K they suspected that I was a spy, yeah, yeah then the second round what did we get ah


garlic and onion, then one person say vegetarians cannot eat one, then I was damn I was damn shocked, but then other people agree with her, then I was like (hmm) so I went to google


I went to google it apparently like, hindu vegetarians, believe that, it increases the heat in their body and stuff, so they avoid it, don't know leh but the person that say is old one lah like


the archer, no no no she's not then if I telling you she's the spy then I spoiling you my story already, yeah so then I was damn suspicious then I go and google but then is actually correct then was like (hmm), and then she's not the spy mah because she knows she knows like such as specific detail


yeah then, the person another person say, cannot eat on it's own cannot eat alone, must cook with other things


then I was like okay yeah, no but the thing is that you cannot say, how to say, you cannot be too vague and you cannot be too specific


yeah we did, wait wait I haven't say finish yet then some other person say it's smelly, then I said I said it's tasty when cooked


then they all suspect me again, uh, is it not tasty when it's cooked I like to eat garlic one eh , but it it makes food tastes better that's why people add it in


okay okay, anyways I know who the


who ask you talk so loud, (ugh) I angry I raise voice , yeah then after me right the person some girl, she say, the thing can be bought in taiwan


!wah! then that one damn <mandarin>差:cha</mandarin> !wah! it's even worse than mine leh, yeah I was I was suspicious of her but then but then she try to push her blame on me


so then I was like okay I don't believe then we asked another round of questions for me and her, then the second round I say what did I say ah, what did I say, (ugh), can't remember exactly okay but


I said something, then the girl keep thinking keep thinking then she don't know what to say, and then then I was like if you need think so long then confirm you spy what cause you don't know the word, [orh] that we we voted for who the spy is, then legit is her


yeah see I so smart, (hmm)


she said no no no she got the idea it's <mandarin>臭豆腐:chou dou fu</mandarin> cause it's smelly, which is, , yeah, but I was thinking maybe yeah like it could be durian also


maybe she would have thought of durian, cause smelly, how I know what vegetarian cannot eat I also didn't know that vegetarian cannot eat ginger and onion, and it's not like any vegetarian it's just hindu vegetarian


okay, I'm looking at the thing now <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> leh, yeah, let's see


[ah] there's nothing about the ending only the clapping thing at the start okay


so basically to explain to ashlynn (erm) <mandarin>我们这个要做的呢就是:wo men zhe ge yao zuo de ne jiu shi </mandarin> codeswitching


we will try to switch from <mandarin>英文:ying wen </mandarin> to <mandarin>华文:hua wen </mandarin> as much as possible, so it doesn't matter yeah


okay, K <mandarin>我因为我有问过你说你们的:wo yin wei wo you wen guo ni shuo ni men de </mandarin> revenue how is the revenue earned in your school so jaslyn was like saying oh the revenue is earned through


so <mandarin>我以为是通过只通过:wo yi wei shi tong guo zhi tong guo </mandarin> meeting, one to one


then the jeffrey, will say, about stuff lah and then <mandarin>他会每个:ta hui mei ge </mandarin> session <mandarin>就会赚:jiu hui zhuan </mandarin> like <mandarin>六十块这样子:liu shi kuai zhe yang zi </mandarin> saw I was saying that it might be unprofitable in the long run


uh but now that you are saying oh there's much more towards it then I feel like oh it's safer


very great


no <mandarin>我连笑都不可以出声因为如果我笑:wo lian xiao dou bu ke yi chu sheng yin wei ru guo wo xiao </mandarin> jaslyn <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> audio <mandarin>就会被:jiu hui bei </mandarin> overlap, okay you jaslyn <mandarin>你:ni </mandarin> continue


is the we have two phones recording one at jaslyn's side one on my side, but apparently if we overlap then they might have some issue with the programming because the eventual goal of this research is to


I'm, sure you're saying that because <mandarin>这个:zhe ge </mandarin> experiment <mandarin>是:shi </mandarin> carry on in national university of Singapore


I might be wrong but I don't I I I I I I'm I'm not too sure myself but it's alright


you know the funny thing is that, they will spend their weekends national holidays weekends to hear what we are talking about right now, and they will be hearing this particular conversation and think about how we empathise with them


they might reject this entire conversation


I volunteered as a tribute, for the information of people hearing <mandarin>这个:zhe ge </mandarin> a voice recording <mandarin>我们其实有一个:wo men qi shi you yi ge </mandarin> moderator, in this err zoom meeting is our third friend


ya so we are joined by our third friend that's why you have awkward pauses in the between, but basically she's suggesting us to, she suggesting us to


to fill in time, please say something jaslyn


can in uh include three people so, uh <mandarin>可以给一个:ke yi gei yi ge </mandarin> opportunity <mandarin>让他:rang ta </mandarin> earn <mandarin>一点:yi dian </mandarin> salary, earn <mandarin>一点:yi dian </mandarin> money


I feel like the people who are analysing the conversation


I feel like we should, prevent ourselves from using any dialects


uh but, they are requirement requires, they want Angmoh


so you should, besides that probably


no other language but, because I'm also in, some some, you know we also do research, sometimes, so


languages, hopefully you can include more languages because it's much more singaporean in this way, it's just my <mandarin>感觉:gan jue </mandarin> lah it's just my <mandarin>感想:gan xiang </mandarin> what do you think


alright I would take the floor from here thank you jaslyn


you are not this awkward we we our conversations flow extremely smooth is just that we like to overlap each other when we are in the conversation, that's why we are trying to not talk to prevent


okay, back to the question asked by jaslyn, the question is


so <mandarin>我今天十点我今天很:wo jin tian shi dian wo jin tian hen </mandarin> the story very interesting, I'm doing research by the way if you if you


if you are not kept up, yeah so , but then <mandarin>我的:wo de </mandarin> spectrum because for science right we have to you know like peaks so there's a lot of graph with lot of peaks so <mandarin>我们根据哪些:wo men gen ju nei xie </mandarin> peaks <mandarin>来看出是什么:lai kan chu shi shen me </mandarin> molecule


because


it's not meant to be there the peak is not meant to be there, but anyways it's all settled at the end <mandarin>所以就没有什么事了可是我就是因为事件所以我才:suo yi jiu mei you shen me shi le ke shi wo jiu shi yin wei shi jian suo yi wo cai </mandarin> meet the edward


that's why when we have our dinner it dragged to eight, and my phone died, so that's the highlight of today, my phone, died, jaslyn


so the container price how much was it


alright


whatever she's saying will not be heard, is a mysterious question that science has failed to answer


no thes the the logic is that we are both wearing earpiece


the document the one that I sent you on whatsapp <mandarin>有一个:you yi ge </mandarin> youtube link


so it's much more coherent in a sense, but oh wells who knows who knows


I would like to make a joke, back to you


no ashlyn


okay I would like to make a, alright


I have a story to tell, so <mandarin>因为我在:yin wei wo zai </mandarin> chemical lab right, so <mandarin>我要:wo yao </mandarin> deal with chemicals, yes very good jaslyn very good, are you mind blown that I am a chemical person


alright, alright obviously the moderators who are listening to this cannot see what you're doing right now if not honestly you will be quite hilarious


sorry


comedic input, basically <mandarin>我需要哪一个叫:wo xu yao na yi ge jiao </mandarin> thiol functional group the reagent


the quantity is very small


so we will then use whatever we pour into a cap <mandarin>才倒在那个:cai dao zai na ge </mandarin> mass balance, so <mandarin>那一时候在拿:na yi shi hou zai na </mandarin> thiol <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou </mandarin> thiol for fun facts, the chemical is super smelly smells like <mandarin>臭鸡蛋:chou ji dan </mandarin> rotten eggs alright


so basically what's happening is that my mom is doing some things, hoping that she can hear this so she's stopping whatever she's doing


thank you, so, basically what happen is that, the thiol that I'm supposed to pour is solid form <mandarin>是:shi </mandarin> solid <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> powder, form


oh no, it's a it's liquid


, so the entire chemistry lab


alright so I was uh


so I immediately ran to the sink


to grab uh to grab bleach, and then it's in a squirt bottle <mandarin>对吧:dui ba </mandarin> so I squirt, just like that onto the bench, in a very dramatic pose it's meant to be funny if I said the jokes quicker


but the AI wouldn't catch it, so, I'm sorry for my lost


back to me


so she did ah, !oops!, back to you jaslyn


I think the brain power needed for <mandarin>这个实验真的有一点起湍:zhe ge shi yan zhen de you yi dian qi tuan </mandarin> I was expecting a leisure conversation but then I realise like you said, so


but, they will give us a more opportunities in the future to earn money


Din Tai Fung


then


honestly


alot, so I think I will keep it until, , below my, a place that I cannot say because it might be too


if you know what I mean yes but there's no better way okay okay, right at my chest is a better more acceptable word, yes I averted that crisis as you can tell, so I will keep it until my chest or wherever I this wherever I like


oh my, oh my disturbing image, thank you jaslyn for that disturbing image that the moderators we'll never know what is going on


a very nice shade


so, I will see how first it will it will take quite long but I will just grow my hair to a desirable length first yes jaslyn back to you


I think it's a it's good it's something that you should try cause it's firstly,


okay <mandarin>有没有一点太:you mei you yi dian tai </mandarin> over


the chin <mandarin>很:hen </mandarin> sharp, uh, sharper bottom, ashlyn is googling it


it's a sharp chin and then when it goes up to the face the top of the face it's much more round so it looks like a egg, inverted egg


back to me, the problem I notice is that after I grew long hair right


part my hair such that the


so I feel that <mandarin>短头发这种:duan tou fa zhe zhong </mandarin> issues that you must style very nicely if not becomes very messy, yes, K for the moderators out there this is to fill time because ashlyn is trying to show us that


she has googled <mandarin>鹅蛋脸是什么意思:e dan lian shi shen me yi si </mandarin> yes and she's showing us on zoom right now, back to you jaslyn


back to me <mandarin>对我觉得:dui wo jue de </mandarin> combed <mandarin>头发多过后还是会稍微:tou fa duo guo hou hai shi hui shao wei </mandarin> the weird because


uh you might maybe you can kind of put it behind your hair put it behind your shoulder to cover it up but then in short hair is extremely extremely visible because


it above your neck it's above your clothes, so <mandarin>你的:ni de </mandarin> clothes <mandarin>不会:bu hui </mandarin> act as <mandarin>一个:yi ge </mandarin> background, very visible back to you


okay, so when I was growing up my hair <mandarin>我也遇到你刚刚所说的问题:wo ye yu dao ni gang gang suo shuo de wen ti </mandarin> lah so busy at this length this length <mandarin>现在的:xian zai de </mandarin> length <mandarin>还:hai </mandarin> okay


but at this length, exactly around here so when you put it down is probably around here, standing or sitting position <mandarin>我们的:wo men de </mandarin> shoulder will not exactly be relaxed as always <mandarin>我们有时候会怎样:wo men you shi hou hui zen yang </mandarin> tense up


then tense up <mandarin>久了之后:jiu le zhi hou </mandarin> especially when using <mandarin>电脑:dian nao </mandarin> computer <mandarin>手机这里会:shou ji zhe li hui </mandarin> tense up tense up <mandarin>久了之后这边就会:jiu le zhi hou zhe bian jiu hui </mandarin> curl, if you get what I mean yeah <mandarin>所以我以前以前如果如果说刚刚那时候还是这个:suo yi wo yi qian yi qian ru guo ru guo shuo gang gang na shi hou hai shi zhe ge </mandarin> length <mandarin>的时候会:de shi hou hui </mandarin> curl mah


then <mandarin>我每次就会:wo mei ci jiu hui </mandarin> , using the hair dryer I'll blow it inside into inwards


then after that <mandarin>他就会有一点翘:ta jiu hui you yi dian qiao </mandarin> into the centre instead of going up to the side, so ya that's my tips


ya above collar bone ah ya <mandarin>因为我每次我那时候:yin wei wo mei ci wo na shi hou </mandarin> JC <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou </mandarin> when I was in junior college it has always been above my collar bone


during that time was really okay, ya back to you


so my recommendation it's still to do slowly to make sure you're comfortable with such changes I don't know what's your risk like


or is she hanging is her computer hanging, alright I will fill time, I will fill time by talking to myself her computer is hang this is terrible


this is honestly terrible okay, okay better I hope she's not talking right now, okay, okay you text her to tell her not talk I will just fill up time with my own self talking to my ownself


thank you moderator, okay, so, so she's the host as you can tell, just tell her that I will, ya just you are the host ashlyn


so tell her that I will be doing talking and do not stop her recording, I think I can still use whatsapp let me try, well the our fill in my time


with my own conversations


for the moderators who will be listening to this what happened is that jaslyn has hanged, and she has, exited the zoom meeting


so, I will be doing the talking instead <mandarin>所以我是希望:suo yi wo shi xi wang </mandarin> err


how is the, that's very sad hopefully that she's, okay that's great, that's great that's great tell her to, also just to come back to zoom first before she do any talking


ah she's back, alright so basically jaslyn to all the moderators are there our problem is solved


okay back to me I think it's okay so <mandarin>因该没有什么问题:yin gai mei you shen me wen ti </mandarin> so as you were saying we're continuing just now, that , about what what were you saying


so I'm honestly scared I don't even let my hairdresser touch my hair sometimes


so basically when I around sec sec two, so <mandarin>有一段时间:you yi duan shi jian </mandarin> there was one time whereby I requested her to cut around my chin


that's my usual go do hair length, so she cut to my ear, yes yes yes yes, if you want to make any reaction I will pass the time to jaslyn


back to me, like like make it a better shape you know like, cause I see that y'all have really nice eyebrows


everyone I see have nice eyebrows, that my eyebrows looked so caterpillar looks like caterpillar, yes back to you jaslyn


so if you are professional in it I wouldn't mind if it's free because if you do it outside you're uncomfortable in expressing our opinions on what


you want your shade of your <mandarin>眉毛:mei mao </mandarin> to be


I think I think it's good suggestion, to get a treatment for my eyebrows alright so ah, I I want actually want to share so much more stuff I feel that it will be too


private for, this recording, like I want to share, about some stuff that I feel that it would be to private, if you're will be still awake after that


if you whatever you are supposed to do so who cares who gives gives a, not yet


so we have another twelve minutes, back to you jaslyn


cause <mandarin>我是觉得他现在做的:wo shi jue de ta xian zai zuo de </mandarin> coding <mandarin>有一点:you yi dian </mandarin> interesting I want to ask her what is she doing and I want to ask her about more about her coding the


but yes thank you


to talk, then <mandarin>你就会看到:ni jiu hui kan dao </mandarin> ashlyn <mandarin>一直在那里:yi zhi zai na li </mandarin> raise hands


how I'm carrying on this conversation to let you know, that I whoever that walk passed I'm assuming is aunty I would like to say hi to her even though she cannot hear obviously jaslyn is


or uncle <mandarin>你放:ni fang </mandarin> background <mandarin>我哪里知道:wo na li zhi dao </mandarin> ah


why am I speaking with a some sort of unidentified chinese accent


back to me yes I'm I I'm a bit, you can see how banging head just now <mandarin>他刚刚:ta gang gang </mandarin> looks like


you know, absolutely hilarious, okay for moderators contexts


ashlyn is extremely upset that she's unable to talk, maybe she has better chinese, , said it said it


okay back to you jaslyn


extremely happy faces from ashlyn, I can see a great smile from jaslyn your your turn


yes because, in normal conversations you have reactions to when a person is talking, yes correct oh my god, yeah but it's extremely sad because it it will dampen the mood lah


so I will try to fill up the rest of the six minutes was I honestly want this to end as well honestly this is has been a <mandarin>真的很好的实验:zhen de hen hao de shi yan </mandarin> I'm very honoured


to participate <mandarin>这个实:zhe ge shi </mandarin> uh <mandarin>经行这个实验然后:jing xing zhe ge shi yan ran hou </mandarin> contribute <mandarin>工薪一点自己的努力:gong xin yi dian zi ji de nu li </mandarin> even though, it's paid <mandarin>我们有得到一些钱:wo men you de dao yi xie qian </mandarin> but I'm extremely honoured, to be here


because of our mistakes such that this recording cannot be used and we're extremely sorry for, any mistakes, but we do wish that you can give us


sixteen dollars per hour we are extremely glad


I haven't told my mom, hopefully she doesn't know, but yes, jaslyn's sister is over there as you can see


for the moderators jaslyn just just proceeded to shoo her sister out jaslyn do you want to speak


yes it's a one way conversation as ashlyn just said, !wow! <mandarin>你姐姐今天穿得很美他去了哪里呢:ni jie jie jin tian chuan de hen mei ta qu le na li ne </mandarin> back to you


back to me alright can't wait for this oh I I spoke too loudly just now got a red line, but it's alright, very nice


ashlyn is is is doing the Macarena an unindentified an unidentified Macarena dance, featuring only this move, alright can't wait for this to be over because honestly this is


very tiring, , but I honestly hoped they would give us more opportunities because I need money back to jaslyn


back to me <mandarin>谢谢:xie xie </mandarin> jaslyn <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> input obviously the machine will not need to understand, you won't see their faces and they will know who we are all rights they will only give us the money


so, uh very great uh if I'm not wrong again <mandarin>是:shi </mandarin> uh <mandarin>国家国家:guo jia guo jia </mandarin> is it <mandarin>国家:guo jia </mandarin> or <mandarin>国际:guo ji </mandarin> I don't know but it's national


university of Singapore NUS who is carrying out this experiment, very excited for their contributions uh, I feel very politically correct right now I'm just a news anchor that like faking whatever I'm seeing like I'm really I'm really


appreciative of their effort but it feels like, it's so tired I'm so tired that whatever I'm saying feels very fake right now, just to let them know I think, the efforts a lot, and I can't wait to on the fan


back to you jaslyn


the sacrifice, something in chinese, and


machine <mandarin>只要我们:zhi yao wo men </mandarin> code switch, they don't really care about our conversations, I am extremely excited because on my phone it states that I have probably forty minute forty seconds left


jaslyn okay don't make any reaction but if yours is done I how many how many seconds you have you can say now


okay back to me we will record it slightly beyond one hour so one hour and thirty seconds then we stop


jaslyn back to you, back to me we need to clap again after we are done


alright


okay I plug in already


(mmhmm), correct, that's right


yeah, basically like, , ya like ten percent to like fifty percent lah, like <mandarin>大概:da gai </mandarin> ah, maybe maybe #si yan#, maybe if <mandarin>你要讲话:ni yao jiang hua </mandarin> right you raise your hand

people get confused like, is this for me or not, like <mandarin>适合我:shi he wo </mandarin> mah you know it it gets a bit confusing so basically we are still trying to find our way lah and trying to test it out, yeah


, ya <mandarin>我也是要:wo ye shi yao </mandarin> check <mandarin>一下:yi xia </mandarin> ah,

I really feel like this system hor, wait as in like, like now that we do this right, I realise that


right, and it's so awkward not to <mandarin>大岔:da cha </mandarin> so, such a such a, interesting experiment, I mean not experiment I'm so sorry it's not as when I'm sorry this thing really <mandarin>我的:wo de </mandarin> brain hor <mandarin>真的:zhen de </mandarin> like


uh, I'm not in the right mind,


Din Tai Fung, [orh], alright, so, let me <mandarin>换一个:huan yi ge </mandarin> topic


then we just <mandarin>随便讲:sui bian jiang </mandarin> okay, !wow! siyan your hair, so smooth, eh but


are you going to cut it again


thank you, I, !wah! screws up like screws up my convo eh okay but, I think like, right so interesting suddenly you want dye hair


and then and then last time I remember <mandarin>你不要:ni bu yao </mandarin> like, okay cool, but ya suits you this suits you and then for me right, for me


uh, I cut my hair Liao, so now it's here, so now it's here, er, like my plan is to go until like, like slowly like here first


and then <mandarin>慢慢:man man </mandarin> go up here, any thoughts


you are right


that's so cool that's so cool, yeah but what I heard right is, styling, like <mandarin>你不可以:ni bu ke yi </mandarin> like <mandarin>睡觉起来:shui jiao qi lai </mandarin> then you look good already, like you need like is it <mandarin>你:ni </mandarin> comb <mandarin>头发:tou fa </mandarin> even after <mandarin>你:ni </mandarin> comb <mandarin>空头:kong tou </mandarin> is like weird


but, ya I I notice the curl thing also what I heard from people right is like, your hair <mandarin>刚刚剪:gang gang jian </mandarin> it needs to follow like


so if you will cut until here right, it will follow the shape of your neck, which which makes it like like damn ugly right so so it looks like a bit like puffy here


and then sticks here and then <mandarin>翘:qiao </mandarin> here so, eh collar bone <mandarin>那边:na bian </mandarin> but collar bone like people say nice eh I also don't know


so, I don't know wait then but


ya then, then but but if you go until here here right, then <mandarin>就不会翘:jiu bu hui qiao </mandarin> is it


oh okay <mandarin>很好:hen hao </mandarin> just a bit, but if you need to go you can ah, don't don't need to


okay okay <mandarin>好:hao </mandarin> so, she just <mandarin>直接:zhi jie </mandarin> like, here already


oh no you are lagging, oh no so sorry she's lagging


sorry, got a bit of technical difficulties


oh okay


so <mandarin>你刚才讲:ni gang cai jiang </mandarin> I should <mandarin>慢慢的:man man de </mandarin> go up, right, which I think, should be the case too, so far right, like the hair is err my sister and my mom help me cut one


so, yeah I let them play with my hair , not play lah but like, just cut lor, ya


oh my, oh, scary !wow! oh my goodness gracious !wow!, like chin <mandarin>变成耳朵:bian cheng er duo </mandarin> eh what the heck, !wah!


my mum help me cut one, so sick


actually if <mandarin>你不介意:ni bu jie yi </mandarin> right, I wouldn't mind, helping you


they are not like super confident in getting the shape lah but, so I feel that all that is, is ready to <mandarin>拿掉:na dian </mandarin> the, the extra the extra hair which how I do it right is comb


comb then <mandarin>那些杂毛:nei xie za mao </mandarin> then just take away so basically you you want one line you want like a line, just like match according to the line but, don't make it too thin lah sometimes I make it too thin but usually is like, usually is


, hair will grow our lah you know <mandarin>慢慢:man man </mandarin> lah you like, , try different shapes, if if it doesn't work, just wait for one week it will come out one


so to the moderators, ashlyn needs to talk, she really needs to talk, she she cannot #diam diam# one, she cannot keep quiet so right


what such a peaceful day, so good, yeah, so I think after we stop


that's what I feel lah, bottle <mandarin>很久了:hen jiu le </mandarin> ya back to you


that's right, I agree also, Siao, yup, got some, sounds from my side, sorry, I


am sorry, yeah, thank you please, okay, back to you
