, morning then err afternoon <mandarin>毛毛雨:mao mao yu </mandarin> lor


are you serious, !wah! ya <mandarin>差这样多:cha zhe yang duo </mandarin> meh I don't know leh cause like I remember afternoon cause I was having classes then it's like it was just drizzling <mandarin>就毛毛雨:jiu mao mao yu </mandarin> then like nothing much


uh humidity lah


!wah! it was horrible


oh my god I felt very bad for my rabbit like <mandarin>我直接要去:wo zhi jie yao qu </mandarin> like <mandarin>一直拿冰块:yi zhi na bing kuai </mandarin> like <mandarin>放在:fang zai </mandarin> cage <mandarin>那边:na bian </mandarin> and like I went to like just wet his ears a little bit because apparently that helps like cool the rabbits down


<mandarin>就:jiu </mandarin> wrap it up in a cloth or something then just put like uh either not ice cube lah like the ice cube is for him to like just drink when it melts I guess but <mandarin>就:jiu </mandarin> err <mandarin>会拿那个:huina na ge </mandarin> plastic bottle then put in the fridge wait for it to be frozen then after that <mandarin>用:yong </mandarin> cloth <mandarin>包起来来:bao qi lai lai </mandarin> then <mandarin>放在那个:fang zai na ge </mandarin> cage that helps to like err lower the temperature in the cage


<mandarin>因为他:yin wei ta </mandarin> it's it's just like a metal metal plate what <mandarin>就:jiu </mandarin> on a normal warm day <mandarin>还:hai </mandarin> ok <mandarin>可是:ke shi </mandarin> like if you are talking about like a extended period of like warm weather then <mandarin>就真的是没有用:jiu zhen de shi mei you yong </mandarin> lor


oh <mandarin>那个我就不知道了:na ge wo jiu bu zhi dao le</mandarin> like I've like I don't think I know about that but I think there's also like a risk of like the animal like or like for the rabbit cause <mandarin>嘴巴痒:zui ba yang </mandarin> ah then you will go and like the bite the thing then bite until like burst open


it's like that's why you have to train like animals lor <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de </mandarin> like actually <mandarin>狗跟猫还:gou gen mao hai </mandarin> ok it's just that rabbits are like <mandarin>兔子就比较:tu zi jiu bi jiao </mandarin> it's a bit harder to train cause like they're smart they are smarter than people expect them to be but they are quite dumb in a sense like you also you cannot really train them like a dog whereby like <mandarin>你直接跟他讲:ni zhi jie gen ta jiang </mandarin> like oh sit stay that kind of thing then <mandarin>他就会:ta jiu hui</mandarin> remember it's like I feel like my rabbit maybe he's a bit dumber than


usual like than other rabbits but like when I try to train him and stuff right he doesn't really remember, eh !walao!


that's true lah ok lah at least <mandarin>现在有下雨就没有这么热了:xian zai you xia yu jiu mei you zhe me re le</mandarin> lor, but raining means cannot go out so <mandarin>她就被关在笼子里面:ta jiu bei guan zai long zi li mian </mandarin> then it's like quite sad for him I guess


ya Bobian lah I feel like my family like cannot own pets like we don't deserve pets


err I will train them properly


bullshit lah now can't even find jobs sia !wah! now listen to like err like today we were having like err briefing for FYP all those right then I like really like having like almost like a nervous breakdown listening to them talk about grading ah then <mandarin>几时要有:ji shi yao you </mandarin> presentation check-ins that kind of stuff then I was just like I was just very nervous about it lah cause at this point I still haven't really


I feel like it's is not just the beginning like it's like the entire journey <mandarin>就很很恐怖:jiu hen hen kong bu </mandarin> ah cause then today also they started off the whole like briefing with like a whole lecture series about visual plagiarising err plagiarism


so they talk about ah then <mandarin>他就:ta jiu </mandarin> they showed examples of like logos err <mandarin>还有:hai you </mandarin> poster ah art work ah <mandarin>就:jiu </mandarin> the prof was talking err she did like a whole research about it lah like <mandarin>因为:yin wei </mandarin>


our school like <mandarin>看那些教授他们每个都要有:kan nei xie jiao shou ta men mei ge dou yao you </mandarin> research project <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> mah like they have to die die have at least one err so anyway that was hers lah then she just like really went ham at it then she produce this whole like activity and like a whole handbook about it


then she like, [orh] the mentor, err what do you mean by who like


oh #siao liao# <mandarin>我们是没有:wo men shi mei you </mandarin> like <mandarin>看:kan </mandarin> specialisation <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> leh to be honest


err <mandarin>不是说:bu shi shuo </mandarin> like any Tom Dick Harry lah but like you have to make sure that the prof is in the same major <mandarin>就好:jiu hao </mandarin> but we don't really look at the specifics of it <mandarin>就:jiu </mandarin> like for example say if you are doing like a more typographic based project you look for typography prof <mandarin>没有了:mei you le</mandarin> like not a lot no from what I know nobody is really doing that


and more <mandarin>是:shi </mandarin> like more of like oh if they know like a prof does more cultural by the interest is more in cultural stuff then if they want to do like a cultural project <mandarin>他们就去找那个:ta men jiu qu zhao na ge </mandarin> professor


but <mandarin>因为我们也是要写:yin wei wo men ye shi yao xie </mandarin> paper mah like we still have to maybe not as thorough as yours


that's quite true lor, so it's like next err semester we have a we will have like a final presentation then we have to do up like booth design or exhibition design lah kind of almost then err we have to set up cause we will have a grad show mah eh <mandarin>我的:wo de </mandarin> grad show <mandarin>你一定要来:ni yi ding yao lai </mandarin> hor please


ya lah like as in <mandarin>他们如果是:ta men ru guo shi </mandarin> grad show then <mandarin>是:shi </mandarin> like they'll hold it for like a couple of days at least one what


err probably won't be held at Pulau NTU lah don't worry, ah <mandarin>因为他们:yin wei ta men </mandarin> err <mandarin>每年不一样的:mei nian bu yi yang de </mandarin> location, last year's one was at


last year, for last year for the, the name of the place is very long and I cannot pronounce it and <mandarin>很多人:hen duo ren </mandarin> right all got the name wrong


no lah as in like <mandarin>他们:ta men </mandarin> it's just like a very long and hard to pronounce name but it's in the central area it's like err #tanjong pagar# area


err <mandarin>就会:jiu hui</mandarin> re-use <mandarin>去年的那些:qu nian de nei xie </mandarin> like metal frames or whatever ya so depends on the space then like they see whatever the school has then they will try to reuse if not they will try to purchase new like whatever that is needed for us


err kay lah as in like I've been to like


ya actually I only been to one person grad ceremony sia for uni, ya NTU err but it was our secondary school <mandarin>的同学:de tong xue </mandarin> err you know Sabrina


!huh! <mandarin>不可能会认识的:bu ke neng huiren shi de </mandarin> but <mandarin>他是今年:ta shi jin nian </mandarin> graduate I think, err


oh


my virtual background oh <mandarin>是一个:shi yi ge </mandarin> cartoon <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> , no it's not famous like <mandarin>不是:bu shi </mandarin> <mandarin>那种很出名很出名的:na zhong hen chu ming hen chu ming de </mandarin> like it's just a cartoon that I like personally I don't know if I've ever told you about it it's like Bee and PuppyCat


okay is err it's actually a pretty I introduce it to like a friend and then she called it a stoner cartoon like <mandarin>人家吸毒:ren jia xi du </mandarin> then not true lah is like ya you know what I mean they get high and then they go and watch ya


ya but basically like this background is the main characters so Bee's living room then I think this was like a scene in the last episode I guess I guess <mandarin>因为他是:yin wei ta shi </mandarin> background art like <mandarin>因为:yin wei </mandarin> animation they will do like the


sort of like the scenes they will do like the backgrounds so this was from that lah


actually I should show you the art like I don't know if they have it online but like they have a I used to I used to be able to find like <mandarin>他的那些:ta de nei xie </mandarin> artwork so the original artist <mandarin>他:ta </mandarin> the original creator of the cartoon she did like her she did like she showed like her drawings of like her how she imagine like the characters' room layout to be that kind of thing I don't know whether can still find or not but I


found it last time I think and it's all very similar to this,


!huh! <mandarin>没有:mei you </mandarin> leh


!wah! but <mandarin>他是:ta shi </mandarin> Dakota <mandarin>哪里:na li </mandarin> like, I don't know eh is it like people our age it's like our age group people <mandarin>都要结婚了:dou yao jie hun le</mandarin> or like getting engaged that kind of thing


eh Amelia got a new house right


ya lah but <mandarin>因为你看他:yin wei ni kan ta </mandarin> like <mandarin>他直接:ta zhi jie </mandarin> like the <mandarin>那个房子这样:na ge fang zi zhe yang </mandarin> like it looks like a resale flat what like it doesn't it looks like a older flat lah it doesn't look like the newer BTOs


Amelia <mandarin>不是做工蛮久了:bu shi zuo gong man jiu le</mandarin> like she has been working ever since after she graduated from poly you know, like <mandarin>他都没有去:ta dou mei you qu </mandarin> uni ah


I thought you all still like meet up every year, !oof! ok to be honest ah I also didn't lah so err


ya but <mandarin>他现在不在英国:ta xian zai bu zai ying guo </mandarin> lor


!huh!


err <mandarin>你你你去找那个钱去去买先:ni ni ni qu zhao na ge qian qu qu mai xian </mandarin> lor


ok that's true


err not too sure I don't think so


I don't know like


I don't know sia to be honest


ya <mandarin>他:ta </mandarin> out of the blue she like oh !hey! do you all want to meet up then after that <mandarin>就:jiu </mandarin> like <mandarin>分:fen </mandarin> wedding invitation, ya


what the hell oh so then like that oh ok I know Joyce gonna get married


but <mandarin>我觉得因为我没有很多朋友:wo jue de yin wei wo mei you hen duo peng you </mandarin> so I won't Kena this kind of nonsense !hey! !hey!


but I guess when it's COVID the COVID situation also what


oh, err what happened


not really picnic lah err <mandarin>去那边:qu na bian </mandarin> countdown lor


, well then <mandarin>这样他的:zhe yang ta de </mandarin> opening hours


oh


!aiyo!


weekday <mandarin>比较少人啦:bi jiao shao ren la </mandarin> I guess maybe <mandarin>以前是:yi qian shi </mandarin> there'll be tourists but now with the whole COVID thing then nobody, but I wasn't I'm not too sure leh <mandarin>因为你看:yin wei ni kan </mandarin> like barrage is like <mandarin>这样:zhe yang </mandarin> Ulu <mandarin>的一个地方:de yi ge di fang </mandarin> is


actually I don't know sia <mandarin>以前我记得:yi qian wo ji de </mandarin> like there was only like you have to walk quite a bit from I guess Marina Bay then <mandarin>你搭:ni da </mandarin> bus then you will reach the barrage but I don't know whether now they improved it


oh ok ok cause last time


I don't know ah, to be honest I don't know <mandarin>我不知道:wo bu zhi dao </mandarin> like I only know it as like a place that people go to for like countdown or like picnics lor <mandarin>就就就是这样:jiu jiu jiu shi zhe yang </mandarin> lor


but depends ah as in like err I think online there's a lot of those hacks <mandarin>他教你怎样去:ta jiao ni zen yang qu </mandarin> remove people in the background


oh my gosh you think <mandarin>你们的:ni men de </mandarin> orientation is it online ah


it's so strange eh I don't know like my I don't know if I told you before like my faculty <mandarin>他们每年就会:ta men mei nian jiu hui</mandarin> like must have like story line must like do like very elaborate videos and props and that kind of thing


then like this year it's like a online thing then it's like I don't know I find it very strange, I don't know leh but I just find it very weird lor but <mandarin>他们还是:ta men hai shi </mandarin> like this <mandarin>他们还是有拍:ta men hai shi you pai </mandarin> video <mandarin>什么的:shen me de </mandarin> then I'm just like where did you even find the time


I think <mandarin>真的是:zhen de shi </mandarin> Bobian lor like unless it's like circuit breaker period again where <mandarin>就是:jiu shi </mandarin> not supposed to go out unless you have reason to that kind of thing but <mandarin>你现在:ni xian zai </mandarin> like <mandarin>五个人:wu ge ren </mandarin> I guess at least they are trying their best to minimise lah in that sense


oh <mandarin>那个我就不知道:na ge wo jiu bu zhi dao </mandarin> lah like I didn't really cause I don't really remember Korea having like any or at least I didn't catch any news about it lah


oh Siao Liao err <mandarin>我只听到那个:wo zhi ting dao na ge </mandarin> Australia <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> like err some of the major cities having like a second round of lock down then that's about it lor


I don't know (leh)


[orh] I heard ah I think so but I don't know like, I don't know leh like <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de </mandarin> like a bit like of a distance from me eh cause <mandarin>我都不买他们的产品:wo dou bu mai ta men de chan pin </mandarin> then like to me it's just like oh it's a brand but is there like err <mandarin>他是:ta shi </mandarin> company like <mandarin>整个破产还是:zheng ge po chan hai shi </mandarin> is just like oh they're closing their shops here


oh so the entire company like declaring bankruptcy that kind of thing


I think it depends ah <mandarin>因为有时候:yin wei you shi hou </mandarin> is like I actually I wouldn't say Victoria Secrets is like a high end luxury brand like it's a high maybe say high street so it's like pricier than like it it's like higher than average but it's not like luxury kind of level


<mandarin>是蛮高的:shi man gao de </mandarin> lor but <mandarin>因为:yin wei </mandarin> like I don't know eh <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de </mandarin> like Victoria Secret like I feel like in recent years maybe like it's not as popular or it's like not as favourable like their PR like <mandarin>不是说很好:bu shi shuo hen hao </mandarin> leh


uh <mandarin>因为:yin wei </mandarin> like I don't know eh I feel like over the years then <mandarin>不是:bu shi </mandarin> like people like, am I hearing beeping from your side


ok maybe I'm imagining things maybe it's like static through the earphones err, ah ok basically <mandarin>就是:jiu shi </mandarin> <mandarin>因为:yin wei </mandarin> like <mandarin>人家:ren jia </mandarin> I guess like maybe like the from what I know <mandarin>是:shi </mandarin> like they say that Victoria Secret like perpetuates the idea of like oh err women must be like that size like they don't because they don't allow like plus size models to like walk their runway or they don't even cater to like plus size women


so basically like it doesn't really they are not being inclusive ah then like people were accusing them of like trying to just, not say boycott lah but <mandarin>就:jiu </mandarin> they don't really support it lor


that's quite true lah but I don't know hopefully


that's true lah but


right but ya lor I don't know lah I wouldn't


err <mandarin>现在的:xian zai de </mandarin> parents I don't know what they doing lah, I don't know lah people I really don't know like why people still insist on having kids to be honest I feel that most people <mandarin>他们没有准备:ta men mei you zhun bei </mandarin> they like not ready for like the amount of work it or like the amount of money it takes


ya then actually <mandarin>现在:xian zai </mandarin> like <mandarin>你要照顾孩子也不容易:ni yao zhao gu hai zi ye bu rong yi </mandarin> mah like especially how how kids are like nowadays then is like social media <mandarin>他们这样会用手机这样会用:ta men zhe yang hui yong shou ji zhe yang hui yong </mandarin> Ipad all those like electronical electronic devices then it's a very different kind of landscape from like when we were growing up


that's very true lah definitely ah


actually that's quite true but then I think it depends also like , the couples that I know like I know I do know of some married couples that I met like from <mandarin>以前的那些:yi qian de nei xie </mandarin> work or like err <mandarin>以前的:yi qian de </mandarin> internships ah then for like a couple of them they got married like within the last two or three years but <mandarin>他们就是不要生孩子:ta men jiu shi bu yao sheng hai zi </mandarin> cause they say that they don't see themselves as like financially capable at this


point and that they prefer they they enjoy their current lifestyle lah so they don't really want to like have another person to take care of


I don't know could be like <mandarin>你知道:ni zhi dao </mandarin> like <mandarin>你知道:ni zhi dao </mandarin> like every new year then <mandarin>就:jiu </mandarin> like <mandarin>新年的时候:xin nian de shi hou </mandarin> then <mandarin>那个:na ge </mandarin> relatives <mandarin>就会过来:jiu hui guo lai </mandarin> then <mandarin>就:jiu </mandarin> like eh ah girl ah !wah! <mandarin>你结婚这样就了你没有生小孩:ni jie hun zhe yang jiu le ni mei you sheng xiao hai </mandarin> that kind of stuff


ya oh my god that's, eh that one <mandarin>那个那个有点太太:na ge na ge you dian tai tai </mandarin> like too much ah too much


ya I know ya ya that's why <mandarin>他们就会:ta men jiu hui</mandarin> like they will come up with like all kinds of it will either be like a super awkward conversation <mandarin>要不然就是他们给你很多那种奇奇怪怪的那种:yao bu ran jiu shi ta men gei ni hen duo na zhong qi qi guai guai de na zhong </mandarin> advice that you didn't ask for


oh but I feel like the one that your friend say right to be honest wouldn't work on my family <mandarin>因为:yin wei </mandarin> hor <mandarin>如果我讲我跟我的:ru guo wo jiang wo gen wo de </mandarin> like auntie <mandarin>他们讲:ta men jiang </mandarin> oh err <mandarin>刚刚跟男朋友分手:gang gang gen nan peng you fen shou </mandarin> they will probably take it as like a joke ah it's like !aiyo! <mandarin>你长这样哪里会有男朋友:ni zhang zhe yang na li hui you nan peng you </mandarin> then it's just like thanks


as in like to them ok I feel like err like my my especially my mum side of the family lah because like of the


it's a different group of relatives say like maybe my dad side like like sometimes my dad side the relatives they would <mandarin>因为:yin wei </mandarin> I don't know lah but my mom side <mandarin>他们不会问:ta men bu hui wen </mandarin> one cause like also they they they kind of like know or like they feel it ya


!walao! <mandarin>我这边没有:wo zhe bian mei you </mandarin> lor, eh <mandarin>我:wo </mandarin> I I don't have that many guy friends either so <mandarin>无聊:wu liao </mandarin> eh <mandarin>他:ta </mandarin> cannot cannot lah <mandarin>不可以不可以:bu ke yi bu ke yi </mandarin> Ming Jun is so awkward and so like he cannot one


that's like no just no


ok lah ok lah


err ok sure I guess


err to whoever that is doing the transcript right I'm I'm sorry bro like I use a lot of singlish and then err it's like the switch <mandarin>你一直要讲华语一直要讲英文:ni yi zhi yao jiang hua yu yi zhi yao jiang ying wen </mandarin> then it's like I don't know how you know like you actually


ok


yo like you know Ming Jun longer than you know me leh, no but like ok maybe like, I don't know lah maybe my mom has the wrong idea about Ming Jun lah like


err my mom thinks like he is like one of the, ya


err nope


err <mandarin>你可以用这个:ni ke yi yong zhe ge </mandarin> background <mandarin>的东西:de dong xi </mandarin> mah like put the background function in Zoom


no eh it's not that new what it's like about two years old already, only one year difference what <mandarin>差酱多:cha jiang duo </mandarin> meh


[orh] ok ok


Windows computer no discount meh


oh my god oh my god that's horrible but quite true, it is lah but also like oh my gosh


cause, but if my side have confirm NUS also will have one what like profs doing research


!aiya! but like eh the money is actually quite good leh from what I heard, depends on what the prof need lah like <mandarin>就看因为有时候他们可能是需要人家帮他们:jiu kan yin wei you shi hou ta men ke neng shi xu yao ren jia bang ta men </mandarin> just compile information then layout then that's a little bit simpler but <mandarin>有一些就:you yi xie jiu </mandarin> like a bit more specialised skills whereby they need you to build models or like <mandarin>就直接:jiu zhi jie </mandarin> like one of my seniors is currently uh employed as a research research assistant then he had to he had to build a life-sized model of a car


ok lah true lah that's true, oh thanks thanks


<mandarin>不会的:bu hui de </mandarin> !wahpiang! eh, ok lah true lah but like I don't know


, you are quite good you are quite good at cooking what so <mandarin>应该是:ying gai shi </mandarin> ok <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> what


that bad ah, but it must have been like pretty bad lah but I don't know like cause normally like <mandarin>我不吃苦瓜的:wo bu chi ku gua de </mandarin> lah but also like to me like <mandarin>印象中:yin xiang zhong </mandarin> I don't remember the smell being that strong


!wha! you very


ya ya now like got different varieties lah


strange sia like my mom she doesn't like the bitter ones and I I guess like whoever else that eats during my family they will not they will never go for the bitter ones


eh sorry but like I don't know lah like <mandarin>以前小时候还是有吃:yi qian xiao shi hou hai shi you chi </mandarin> lah but I guess as I grow older you will just like meh, eh as in like ok <mandarin>我不吃:wo bu chi </mandarin> durian like like the fruit right I don't it's not say that I don't want to eat but it's just that I prefer not to eat like <mandarin>你给我那时候如果有选择我是不会想要吃:ni gei wo na shi hou ru guo you xuan ze wo shi bu hui xiang yao chi </mandarin> lah but <mandarin>你叫我吃的话我会吃:ni jiao wo chi de hua wo hui chi </mandarin> lah like I will still eat it lah it's acceptable


to me it's like I'm not the biggest fan of the fruit but <mandarin>你叫我吃:ni jiao wo chi </mandarin> like durian puff then I'm just like (oo) durian puffs I can just like eat it all day


sorry sorry I I prefer the processed thing I guess but it's just for me is like I specifically like durian puffs like just durian cream puffs anything else durian related I'm not that big of a fan either


, eh over eh it's like just nice an hour and like thirty seconds


err, extra <mandarin>一分钟:yi fen zhong </mandarin> lor hopefully


err I'm sorry


uh hope it's entertaining


sorry I wheeze a lot, (ppb) oh well ok bye bye


can you hear me, nice so shall we talk about my picnic to Barrage on Tuesday


!wow! your chinese <mandarin>突然说到这样:tu ran shuo dao zhe yang </mandarin> perfect ah, I mean <mandarin>全靠我的:quan kao wo de </mandarin> notes ah you're welcome


oh ya as in we wanted to go like picnic on Rriday which is today but then I went to see <mandarin>那个:na ge </mandarin> weather forecast then I was like oh shit cannot <mandarin>今天不可以哦:jin tian bu ke yi o </mandarin> then we change to Tuesday instead because it was the only like clear day


only in the morning


serious <mandarin>我这边整天在下雨:wo zhe bian zheng tian zai xia yu </mandarin> eh, [orh] but like we stay so close


oh <mandarin>我早上起来:wo zao shang qi lai </mandarin> is already raining then I went out during lunch then it was still raining then I came back when I was cooking dinner it was still raining so I was like !wah! this today is really a very bad day for picnic eh


oh as in I think towards the end is really it's just moisture in the air, maybe Singapore weather really cannot make it eh I tell you


oh dude dude did you see, according to the weather forecast <mandarin>他讲:ta jiang </mandarin> it feels like forty two degrees eh


yes I feel you, I nearly like I nearly like just I don't know go and find an ice pack to put on my forehead so I can sleep it was so hot at night


you put ice cube in the cage


oh actually <mandarin>不是有那种:bu shi you na zhong </mandarin> like ice mat <mandarin>的那种东西:de na zhong dong xi </mandarin> meh like you know, cannot


no but it's not the metal plate <mandarin>的那个:de na ge </mandarin> eh it's like you know <mandarin>我们的:wo men de </mandarin> Ahma <mandarin>用那种:yong na zhong </mandarin> like wavy wavy <mandarin>的那种:de na zhong </mandarin> water pad like it's it's a cushion but <mandarin>它里面有水:ta li mian you shui </mandarin> so it's like cooling when you sit on it one


oh actually that's true <mandarin>我没有想过那个:wo mei you xiang guo na ge </mandarin> point, ya actually <mandarin>我有看那种:wo you kan na zhong </mandarin> like Facebook videos right then they will video the dogs are like chewing their slippers or like <mandarin>咬他们的那个:yao ta men de na ge </mandarin> sofa and stuff then I'm like ok <mandarin>这个:zhe ge </mandarin> dog <mandarin>真的很:zhen de hen </mandarin> cute but do I really want a dog


ah like the owner lah, no lah but now really must take care in this weather


actually I rather <mandarin>它下雨:ta xia yu </mandarin> then <mandarin>大太阳:da tai yang </mandarin> though


I guess lah but oh ya I thought <mandarin>你不可以放他在家里:ni bu ke yi fang ta zai jia li </mandarin> meh


wait but your parents <mandarin>不给他:bu gei ta </mandarin> like go to your room meh


that's really quite sad though, it's ok next time when you grow up and you have your own house you can you can get your own pets and they can bite your sofa and go to your room


sure a not I thought you want to adopt like what twenty cats or something


!aiya! ok one lah, it's it's always the scariest at the beginning right before you start about like once you start <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> then <mandarin>就有那个:jiu you na ge </mandarin> momentum then I think is ok one don't need worry too much now


[orh] like you copy other people's work is it


wait, as in so so this prof then wait then who is your who is your professor like who's gonna like help you with your project, ah


as in have you found a mentor yet like like who is then like what what what does the prof specialise in lah, wait so any like Tom Dick Harry <mandarin>都可以:dou ke yi </mandarin> ah


[orh] no lah <mandarin>因为:yin wei </mandarin> like what I know about final project <mandarin>就是:jiu shi </mandarin> like I think it's more of the maybe engineering side one cause FASS don't really have final year projects ah <mandarin>我们都是:wo men dou shi </mandarin> like thesis or what then my engin friends always tell me like [orh] they need to go and find prof then like do this do that and then a lot of stuff to do also


[orh] ya lah I mean every faculty <mandarin>都不一样:dou bu yi yang </mandarin> what it's just like see like you know what you what's the topic you want to do or like what you want to specialise in


eh wait so when is your final year project due before you graduate or what


sure <mandarin>我可以来的话我会来:wo ke yi lai de hua wo hui lai </mandarin> ah I don't know leh like COVID shit you know maybe you are only limited to like two family members and stuff sure I will come


please I will travel to Pulau freaking NTU for you don't worry, ah serious, so where was it last year


oh so they all go to the wrong place ah, [orh] the artsy fartsy places


no but like is is there a certain like requirement for them to like <mandarin>选那个地方:xuan na ge di fang </mandarin> or like you know any is it an art gallery space or what


sure <mandarin>如果可以去的话:ru guo ke yi qu de hua </mandarin> I will go lah don't worry you can come for my graduation ceremony too if I have one


no what that's inside the hall what <mandarin>你要你可以在外面等:ni yao ni ke yi zai wai mian deng </mandarin> mah


from where NTU, [orh] wait <mandarin>其他人的你没有去:qi ta ren de ni mei you qu </mandarin> meh


err wait what does <P2>Wei Ying</P2> do she got go uni, oh !wow! what if she knows my SMU friends !wah! that's gonna be a very big coincidence


what is she studying


oh okay lah then I think <mandarin>他不会认识我的:ta bu hui ren shi wo de </mandarin> friend lah my friend is in business I think and he graduating next year only, eh actually I wanna ask you for very long already like what's your like virtual background background


ya I knew actually I knew it cannot be like some illustration you draw as in confirm must be something famous one


nope


ah ya very <mandarin>符合你的:fu he ni de </mandarin> personality


oh it's quite nice though I think it looks very like <mandarin>梦幻:meng huan </mandarin> very pretty and very calming also


sure <mandarin>如果你找到的话:ru guo ni zhao dao de hua </mandarin> !hais! then <mandarin>你:ni </mandarin> show <mandarin>我:wo </mandarin> lor, <mandarin>我觉得我想:wo jue de wo xiang </mandarin> I want to move out and get my own house soon oh my god did you see the new BTO launches


like they they released a new batch of houses for BTO I think <mandarin>这个月这个月:zhe ge yue zhe ge yue </mandarin> start mah <mandarin>我不知道:wo bu zhi dao </mandarin> but ya it's quite nice the location wise but it's super over-bidded, ok I think <mandarin>那个那个:na ge na ge </mandarin> Dakota <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> right it's only three hundred plus units but like almost four times more people bidded for it like at least one thousand two hundred plus people bidded


I don't know Dakota where lah but like the point is it's basically this round everyone is buying a house I don't know


I know Serena and Victor I think <mandarin>这个:zhe ge </mandarin> round <mandarin>也是有:ye shi you </mandarin> bid cause <mandarin>有一个在:you yi ge zai </mandarin> Woodlands <mandarin>那边:na bian </mandarin> actually pretty near Woodlands MRT eh so I think it's not a bad location but it's just that I I don't know whether they can get it or not lah


yes I saw I didn't know that (ppc), actually but <mandarin>不懂:bu dong </mandarin> I don't know like hers is it <mandarin>那个:na ge </mandarin> resale or BTO though cause <mandarin>如果:ru guo</mandarin> I think it's resale also she got say is resale meh


but is but if it's a resale right how they get the money to buy the resale


oh actually that's true I I kind of forgot about that part


err we only meet up once last year to celebrate like <mandarin>他跟:ta gen </mandarin> Serena <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> birthday but that's about it this year I think I didn't wish her I forgot already


I mean I'm like Farhana do you remember, ya ya ya so like I I didn't even know when she go when she went to England but everytime <mandarin>我看他的:wo kan ta de </mandarin> Insta story then like !wah! then got there was this one time <mandarin>我有看到:wo you kan dao </mandarin> this <mandarin>小小妹妹:xiao xiao mei mei </mandarin> in their story then I thought she gave birth already you know


then <mandarin>我真的吓到:wo zhen de xia dao </mandarin> leh, ya I think so also like after watching a few more Insta stories and then like you know doing some deductions


ya lor so people our age I mean !aiya! I also want to faster get a house so I can I do renovation and do my interior decor and shit, I go back at five


I was you know that I don't know whether you know this friend or not but it's the one that I went to <mandarin>那个那个:na ge na ge </mandarin> Woodlands Waterfront with one


nah not important so it's a it's a uni like junior then that day we are talking about it also then <mandarin>他有讲:ta you jiang </mandarin> err his clique got this like China girl then err <mandarin>那个那个女孩子有问他要不要结婚过:na ge na ge nv hai zi you wen ta yao bu yao jie hun guo </mandarin> like in a pretty serious tone cause <mandarin>因为他是:yin wei ta shi </mandarin> PR so I think to get citizenship or what then you need to like marry a singaporean or something right


ya but I don't know how legit is it lah and uh I guess is not cause if he can tell me about it means is is it should be a joke right


oh my god <mandarin>我没有跟你讲这个:wo mei you gen ni jiang zhe ge </mandarin> so actually <mandarin>我:wo </mandarin> I think I never talk to him since since I went exchange the last time I saw him was when he sent me off at the airport that was the last time I saw this friend then the thing is during exchange he did he said something and then I got very <mandarin>不爽:bu shuang </mandarin> with him so I never reply him or anything from then on then suddenly like two weeks ago he just suddenly ask me eh


you free a not want meet up a not then <mandarin>我看到我吓到:wo kan dao wo xia dao </mandarin> like <mandarin>你收到这种:ni shou dao zhe zhong </mandarin> message <mandarin>你会想什么:ni hui xiang shen me </mandarin> what's the first thing you think of, serious, like if a very long time friend never talk to you suddenly ask you eh you want to meet up you cannot think of anything


ok, I guess I should not meet up with you for awhile and then !hey! do you want to meet up


ah wait long long lah you will see you will see that kind of my Insta story first one don't worry anyway the point is you <mandarin>你不觉得很像那种:ni bu jue de hen xiang na zhong </mandarin> insurance agent meh, like so long never meet up eh you want drink coffee you want drink tea


ok sure good for you no but seriously that was my first thought though then I just reply <mandarin>他我问他你是不是要叫我买:ta wo wen ta ni shi bu shi yao jiao wo mai </mandarin> insurance then he was like how you know then I just like wait what no ah no lah it was a joke lah


very very weird err comment here it's a white SUV with a sunroof I can see the amazed look on your face now tell me it's amazing right, actually <mandarin>我也是:wo ye shi </mandarin> at first I <mandarin>以为他是个有钱人:yi wei ta shi ge you qian ren </mandarin> but actually I think maybe not leh like ok if I never remember wrongly his dad like does his own business but during that day when <mandarin>我再跟他吃饭的时候:wo zai gen ta chi fan de shi hou </mandarin> right then he got say like his dad's business not doing well now so I don't know


I guess maybe but I actually never really ask him what his dad does before


oh no it's just that <mandarin>他的车很漂亮:ta de che hen piao liang </mandarin> lor that's it like <mandarin>真的很漂亮:zhen de hen piao liang </mandarin> eh you know you know like ok ok like <mandarin>每次你做人家的车的时候:mei ci ni zuo ren jia de che de shi hou </mandarin> it's like you need to like half squat a bit to sit down in the car right his car hor I tip toe to get my ass into the seat eh


but your car is the one the behind handle very weird one right the window one right is it


oh is it as in I don't remember what your dad's car already lah but ya but !wah! that car really amazing I can I mean actually it's not my first time sitting in his car but I forgot how amazing his car was


no thank you no thank oh he was at the picnic also, did I tell you about the picnic, oh no lah it was just very random shit we went Barrage you got go Barrage and picnic before


oh cause now when you go Barrage right then they make you do the <mandarin>那个那个:na ge na ge </mandarin> safe entry then it's very weird like it's kind of like the number of people up there I think they limit to a certain number


ya, uh opening hours I think I think there's a there's a oh there was a time limit they ask us to go at nine PM


ya so no choice lah just go somewhere else and talk lah but it was okay, ya the security guard come up with a flashlight then they like err I'm sorry we are closing the barrage now and the exit is that way err <mandarin>你去你走那边下去:ni qu ni zou na bian xia qu </mandarin> then we like okay auntie then we go


but it was okay lah actually it wasn't very it was pretty pretty empty for Barrage but then again it's a Tuesday <mandarin>晚上:wan shang </mandarin> who will go Barrage picnic on Tuesday so ya


that's a very good point <mandarin>我没有想到:wo mei you xiang dao </mandarin> I totally forgot about the tourists man


oh no lah I took a bus from <mandarin>那个:na ge </mandarin> what's that called ah Marina south pier then very fast reach already what, but I thought Barrage pretty famous for like sunset like people will go there and take pictures


oh I forgot to tell you there was a couple doing their the wedding shoot over there like <mandarin>他们在拍他们的那个:ta men zai pai ta men de na ge </mandarin> I think I think it's pre-wedding shoot [bah] I was like there's so many people at that point where they were trying to take photos then is it like <mandarin>那个:na ge </mandarin> photographer need to photoshop them out or something


too much effort man too much effort oh then got this group of like <mandarin>小弟弟小妹妹:xiao di di xiao mei mei </mandarin> over there also then like you know how you're supposed to meet in five people like from groups of five only right then I think <mandarin>他们有:ta men you </mandarin> like <mandarin>至少:zhi shao </mandarin> ten people <mandarin>十个人:shi ge ren </mandarin> ya then they they try to like game the system by splitting up so they sit at like five from one side then two then three then it seriously look like some like orientation like that I tell you


err <mandarin>那个:na ge </mandarin> orientation <mandarin>已经不关我的屁事了:yi jing bu guan wo de pi shi le</mandarin> cause <mandarin>我是:wo shi </mandarin> year four you know then like it's not my problem and yes I I think everything is online like e-orientation lor


I mean no choice what COVID what <mandarin>你一定要做:ni yi ding yao zuo </mandarin> online <mandarin>你不做:ni bu zuo </mandarin> online then no orientation meh then I think people also not happy


I mean holiday what you got anything to do meh


I mean true lah but I guess if people adhere to safety distances they wear mask then ok already lor, I feel like it's not like it's not a very good mindset leh like for example <mandarin>你:ni </mandarin> groups of friends <mandarin>一起出去吃:yi qi chu qu chi </mandarin> right then imagine like ok for example <mandarin>我跟你还有其他:wo gen ni hai you qi ta </mandarin> like maybe three other friends we go out and eat then if I have right is immediately spread to four other people already that's only because they restrict it to five people if for example like the <mandarin>小弟弟小妹妹:xiao di di xiao mei mei </mandarin> right they have ten people but they split into five five you think they will always


stay in like the group of five meh they will mix around one what so like imagine one person go out they got then they can can spread to so many people like like <mandarin>一次过:yi ci guo </mandarin> spread to <mandarin>这样多人:zhe yang duo ren </mandarin> eh then then what's the point


I mean !aiya! I get it lah <mandarin>你不可以:ni bu ke yi </mandarin> like ask people to stay at home forever but I don't know man it's it's very risky, ya <mandarin>你有没有看那个:ni you mei you kan na ge </mandarin> Korea <mandarin>的那个:de na ge </mandarin> !wah! err I think apparently out of like <mandarin>三十多个:san shi duo ge </mandarin> cases eighty plus is local transmission that's a very very high number eh


didn't they have this like nightclub saga then then the whole outbreak start again


when is it our turn I mean hopefully we don't ah but still I think its a eventual thing


and then also COVID also not just a health concern but also like in the economy <mandarin>怎样:zen yang </mandarin> by next year we graduate can get a job a not then all those people who are getting unemployed now oh my god do you know Victoria Secret closed down


I mean they probably manufactured abroad for like five dollars then they sell it for thirty five I don't know but people will buy like their their profits or their profit margin right in in model imagination right <mandarin>因该是:yin gai shi </mandarin> like <mandarin>蛮:man </mandarin> what's the word for it <mandarin>人家讲什么:ren jia jiang shen me </mandarin> the profit margin is quite big


serious, err no I think no I not hearing anything though


yes please continue


oh so <mandarin>他们:ta men </mandarin> boycott Victoria Secret


oh I mean not like I buy from there so I wouldn't know too but I thought like got other big brands also closing down what like what Zara


I don't think that's public that's supposed to be public knowledge


, !aiya! <mandarin>我跟你讲:wo gen ni jiang </mandarin> hor <mandarin>以后我要买一个:yi hou wo yao mai yi ge </mandarin> farm <mandarin>然后我要住在一个:ran hou wo yao zhu zai yi ge </mandarin> very very isolated forested ok maybe not forested but like quiet countryside I cannot stand all this neighborhood kids leh I cannot stand it eh seriously


seriously leh <mandarin>整天在那边喊喊喊:zheng tian zai na bian han han han </mandarin> hor they no parents to teach them one is it


I mean <mandarin>你要生小孩子:ni yao sheng xiao hai zi </mandarin> hor then you better jolly well like educate and discipline them leh I cannot like what what if not you you give birth to a kid for what


or they underestimate what needs to to take care of a child


but a bit different context ah my cousin and my uncle and my aunt stay in Indonesia then I think my my aunt is quite well to do so ya lor


ya lah but still !aiya! <mandarin>现在:xian zai </mandarin> you cannot use last time how our parents educate us to educate the kids of today, I feel hor <mandarin>你不会觉得:ni bu hui jue de </mandarin> like <mandarin>我们:wo men </mandarin> people our age got this like increasing trend of not wanting to have kids ok it's not a very err like <mandarin>不是很多人不要:bu shi hen duo ren bu yao </mandarin> kids lah it's just like those who are single now usually tend to not want kids and those who will still want kids are those who are attached and planning to get married


exactly why you want to give birth to like something else that will suck your money ok lah it's not that bad lah I shall not say until like <mandarin>这样严重:zhe yang yan zhong </mandarin> but like I rather <mandarin>如果我这样多钱花:ru guo wo zhe yang duo qian hua </mandarin> right I would rather like <mandarin>花在我自己你的身上:hua zai wo zi ji ni de shen shang </mandarin> than to have like another kid and to have a kid


oh ok <mandarin>如果这种:ru guo zhe zhong </mandarin> scenario right my friend got teach me before but it's for break for couples like <mandarin>如果你的:ru guo ni de </mandarin> auntie <mandarin>还是你的:hai shi ni de </mandarin> uncle <mandarin>来问:lai wen </mandarin> ah girl err <mandarin>你什么时候带你的男朋友回来这边来见我们:ni shen me shi hou dai ni de nan peng you hui lai zhe bian lai jian wo men </mandarin> like you know like meet the parents and stuff you just tell them oh <mandarin>我们:wo men </mandarin> like <mandarin>刚刚:gang gang </mandarin> break up


then you see what they say I tell you !wah! my friend tell me that time right I just <mandarin>直接:zhi jie </mandarin> mind blown <mandarin>掉:diao </mandarin> leh <mandarin>我跟你讲:wo gen ni jiang </mandarin> is such a good and simple reason eh then like !wah! like it's so awkward that they they will not want to continue to probe and it gives you the space to like go away you get what I mean


if they ask you why you don't want to <mandarin>生孩子:sheng hai zi </mandarin> right just tell them [orh] <mandarin>我不能生:wo bu neng sheng </mandarin> then after that you just a bit a bit teary right then you see what they say I tell you confirm the next five years they won't ask you


but then again you also run the risk of like you meet the high level auntie or uncle oh <mandarin>你不能生:ni bu neng sheng </mandarin> ah ok I can teach you like you know <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong </mandarin> herbal medicine you eat already then <mandarin>你会有很多:ni hui you hen duo </mandarin> eggs or something I don't want to


!aiya! what to do people their age <mandarin>是这样的:shi zhe yang de </mandarin> mah, you just have to suck it up and live with it


wait what what do you mean <mandarin>你长这样:ni zhang zhe yang </mandarin> as in, they laugh at you for not having a boyfriend cause you look like that


I guess is time you find a guy friend to bring back during Chinese New Year then you all split the #ang bao# money that he received, why not eh if I want to be a asshole and like cheat my family's money right I think very easy eh my aunties and uncles like the <mandarin>红包:hong bao </mandarin> all <mandarin>包:bao </mandarin> very big one leh


ah true then <mandarin>你们两个一起:ni men liang ge yi qi </mandarin> awkward then people can instantly tell <mandarin>你们:ni men </mandarin> not a real like couple, actually <mandarin>我觉得你们:wo jue de ni men </mandarin> the awkwardness like bounces off each other and then it amplifies like you awkward then you make him awkward then he awkward then he also make you awkward then you're both just even more awkward


oh you see lah you stay so far away you know that day <mandarin>他有他有:ta you ta you </mandarin> text <mandarin>我:wo </mandarin> eh <mandarin>哪一天:na yi tian </mandarin> ah actually is just a few days ago only <mandarin>他他:ta ta </mandarin> text <mandarin>我他讲要:wo ta jiang yao </mandarin> eat lunch a not that I'm like err then I look out of the window it was raining then I was like don't tell him but I said that my dad cook lunch already when my dad hasn't cooked lunch yet so technically I could have gone out to eat but <mandarin>我就是:wo jiu shi </mandarin> like <mandarin>懒惰出去:lan duo chu qu </mandarin> that's it


eh <mandarin>下雨:xia yu </mandarin> ah, but you know I really very sad that like you all live a certain distance away and then like the closest one is Yu Ling right then that bugger right doesn't you know like it's like a <mandarin>宅女:zhai nv </mandarin> eh I tell you she only stay at home one


no she <mandarin>每次:mei ci </mandarin> Jio <mandarin>他出去他不要出去:ta chu qu ta bu yao chu qu </mandarin> then like then like err <mandarin>懒惰:lan duo </mandarin> lah err <mandarin>我在吃饭:wo zai chi fan </mandarin> ah then I !wah! Sian then I want to go down and catch Pokemon and then like walk around a few rounds then she like don't want lah lazy lah then I'm like oh okay lor then <mandarin>我自己去:wo zi ji qu </mandarin> lor


actually I'm just wondering like you know we talk like this right and then our conversations are being recorded then you know I I don't know how they are going to process this voice recording you know right if someone else is gonna listen to this and then like type it out or what cause if I'm the person listening to this and typing it out right I would judge myself so hard leh


oh ya ya ya <mandarin>对讲到这个:dui jiang dao zhe ge </mandarin> but I don't know leh I mean it's just a normal conversation lah as in for us very easy lah <mandarin>我们只是讲话而已:wo men zhi shi jiang hua er yi </mandarin> what but then for them I don't know


I don't know but it's pretty interesting in ya I don't know Ming Jung <mandarin>有跟我讲他有看到这个:you gen wo jiang ta you kan dao zhe ge </mandarin> like a research opportunity also then I feel a bit bad cause like err at first <mandarin>我问他:wo wen ta </mandarin> but then I thought must meet up then I think about how far away he stay then I cannot be <mandarin>我去他的家:wo qu ta de jia </mandarin> right and then also cannot be he come my house right so bottom line I a bit Pangseh him ah


true but I don't know you you you come my house I still ok but Ming Jun come my house and then later my dad don't know think what in his brain you know


ya but Ming Jun is a guy so like you know confirm got something one


<mandarin>不是:bu shi </mandarin> you got tell me before what, not straight


oh <mandarin>你的房间:ni de fang jian </mandarin> pack finish already or not, actually same like I will show you but then like you know it's a bit hard to move my laptop around cause I got a cloth covering it bro if I open <mandarin>那个:na ge </mandarin> cloth now ah !wah! and also cause I need to on my video camera when I go for lessons so no choice I need to make sure it's neat or looks neat


oh my camera my my laptop camera apparently too old I don't have a green screen so it cannot support, cause it's a new Macbook right


no but at that time when I buy it right then it's already like it's already considered <mandarin>一个比较:yi ge bi jiao </mandarin> old <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> model


so I don't know maybe it's time to change a laptop nah no cannot must save money now


and then I also not gonna get Macbook or what is not like got student discount for like Windows computer


I honestly never really go and check oh speaking of computers did you see this meme online like it's about uh subscription fees so Netflix you pay like hundred and forty four yearly to to watch Netflix right then Amazon you pay maybe eighty plus then the last option was NUS you pay you pay eight thousand plus for yearly subscription


cause the classes all online now what or you watch pre-recorded lecture <mandarin>我觉得有点好笑:wo jue de you dian hao xiao </mandarin> eh, but it's funny


ya ah <mandarin>我不知道:wo bu zhi dao </mandarin> lah anyways <mandarin>我只是:wo zhi shi </mandarin> one more year only so after that I'll be unemployed and jobless and subscription-less so !yay!


after you graduate, at least you got that option, but I don't want to do research lah !duh!


but must see what <mandarin>你的:ni de </mandarin> is more of like design and creative side right I think your research ok what what does your research like entail


cause for for like maybe like the social sciences or like the more academic side like research usually entails helping the prof like find information and stuff so you read through like a shit ton of readings then like <mandarin>你读完过后你要:ni du wan guo hou ni yao </mandarin> compile and then <mandarin>你要:ni yao </mandarin> write notes then <mandarin>你要做有的没的:ni yao zuo you de mei de </mandarin> then like I don't think that's what I want to do ah


ya so see how if cannot then <mandarin>去:qu </mandarin> McDonald's <mandarin>做工:zuo gong </mandarin> lah, then if you see me at the McDonald's then <mandarin>你:ni </mandarin> I'll give you extra curry sauce packet


you are welcome, I mean eh why what's wrong with working at McDonald's <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de </mandarin> ok ah <mandarin>有前途有工作有:you qian tu you gong zuo you </mandarin> free Mac value meal


see how lah see how ah still got one more year, you know tonight I cooked like the Korean like stir fry stuff and then now I can still smell it on me eh got the greasy eh is good leh I was pretty amazed at with myself


no lah it's just that I don't like that after <mandarin>你:ni </mandarin> cook <mandarin>了过后:le guo hou </mandarin> then <mandarin>你的手有那个:ni de shou you na ge </mandarin> smell ya <mandarin>有那个:you na ge </mandarin> garlic <mandarin>的:de </mandarin> smell then I hate it a lot man and then your clothes got smell but never mind can change but your hands right once you got the smell right it's like cannot remove one leh


have you tried cooking <mandarin>苦瓜:ku gua </mandarin> before, !wah! <mandarin>苦瓜:ku gua </mandarin> is the ultimate is the durian of all the bad smelling things you can have on your hand uh actually durian also quite bad err <mandarin>苦瓜:ku gua </mandarin> is it's I don't even know how to describe it it's just amazingly bad


and then you smell already, ok actually ok you know the <mandarin>苦瓜:ku gua </mandarin> is like err like a gourd right then the inside actually got seeds and everything one so you need to scrape the seeds out so that day I was a dumb ass I use my hands to scrape the seeds and the mushy mushy thing from the inside then !wah! afterwards my hands right I just wear gloves to sleep leh


it was ok lah I I'm pretty sensitive to this type of smell so <mandarin>我很不喜欢:wo hen bu xi huan </mandarin> so ya I a bit exaggerating but anyways is just my style I guess


you don't eat <mandarin>苦瓜:ku gua </mandarin> why,


ya oh like durian I don't like the sweet durian like durian right must be the more bitter right the better seriously I swear


no <mandarin>真的:zhen de </mandarin> like <mandarin>苦瓜:ku gua </mandarin> err no sorry <mandarin>那个:na ge </mandarin> durian got the <mandarin>猫山王:mao shan wang </mandarin> and then got the what's that <mandarin>红毛:hong mao </mandarin> got <mandarin>有很多不同的:you hen duo bu tong de </mandarin> variations what ya I choose one if it's not I think is <mandarin>猫山王:mao shan wang </mandarin> I don't know but there's only one certain type of durian like I usually will just go and like see and must be like <mandarin>有点:you dian </mandarin> yellow yellow then <mandarin>还是:hai shi </mandarin> pale yellow <mandarin>那种:na zhong </mandarin> then that's the only one that I will eat


how can you not eat durian I did not know that <mandarin>我们不可以做朋友了:wo men bu ke yi zuo peng you le</mandarin> sorry bye


oh if you got a choice ah


how can you is such an exquisite and like and it's like an enjoyment eh seriously


but nothing beats the original from the original fruit you get what I mean all the durian puff durian cake all the durian cream and all that shit is all processed already like the original taste might still be there but it's not as like like amazing as <mandarin>你开那个榴莲:ni kai na ge liu lian </mandarin> right then you just <mandarin>挖出来吃那种:wa chu lai chi na zhong </mandarin> it's a different feeling my friend


okay next time I know <mandarin>我要买什么给你了:wo yao mai shen me gei ni le</mandarin> I will buy the real durian for you


should we give them bonus footage, actually I don't know whether we are supposed to mention that we know we are doing this like experiment thing

I don't know, no but I have one in like secondary school also like, I don't know if I got tell you before like I keep forgetting I think I told I told <P2>#Wati#</P2> or some shit but like me me and this girl right we met in


okay we're like two thousand right she's ninety nine


then like I think her brothers like ninety eight I think but then we are all in the same class so I'm just like so confused like like I ask her like why are you older but in my class then she say oh cause like, my parents register late now I didn't know madrasah like if you register late they will put you in primary one so like you can be old and be like in primary one also


then, (ppc) then I knew, I also don't know sia but like that madrasah doesn't exist anymore so like, I don't know


it was like long long time ago like there were people who like older in my class like by one or two years, but we were in the same class, ya and then after that one day my mom was fetching me right, this is at the you know masjid Ghufran


the in Tampines, it's in Tampines the masjid in Tampines, ya then after that, (ppc), then my mom found out like


my mum's JC friend, it's like you and me but like not that close but that we had children then our children are like, friends


ya so like me and <P2>#Aisyah#</P2> we like, grow up together lah like ever since like that that whole encounter in like primary two so I was like primary two primary three


eh ya ya something like that, ya, ya but they weren't like very close so it's like I think you know eh it's like , if me and, oh it's like if you and err


how to say ah, ah it's like you and <P2>#Sheila#</P2> like, uh got kids and then your your kids and <P2>#Sheila#</P2>'s kids, like become friends, and then like you become closer to


no no no but they're closer than that, I don't know sia okay like I give up explaining but like whatever yeah they're like quite close lah


yeah so, ya ya ya ya ya then after that, oh my god I miss her ya okay anyway then after that right, stop laughing then after that (ppc)


then so like, we grow up together lah from like primary school madrasah then after that we go to like you know like like , they have like the Macam kids alive teens alive tweens alive


like, let's say okay let's say you go to a madrasah in masjid right like dulu dulu punya format [kan] is like madrasah Macam


err it's like literal school but just madrasah like you got exam and then like got report card semua then like they band, ya ya okay so basically it's like an Andalus lah then then they band you according to how smart you are whatever then got the morning session and then the


then the morning session and the afternoon session lah yah so like, I think, I think like, the first few years <P2>#Aisyah#</P2> was, , like afternoon session or whatever lah that's how I know like that's how I know a lot of people in the in the Tampines area who are like malays cause like I go to like this masjid punya madrasah and then like


cause you mix class every time what so you just make friends with everyone in that class, yeah, then (ppc), then after that like me and so, so halfway through, err the primary school like when I was in primary school right they created this Macam new syllabus abeh like is everything Macam in english ah english ah then like Macam tak ada exams everything is for like


uh you know those people who convert, to islam, then like they don't understand Malay or anything, ya is yeah yeah so cause dia dia nak Macam like, integrated society or whatever so they so they like abolished they abolished the madrasah the madrasah punya system so there's no more like exam or anything cause we actually had a Chinese girl in our class


and then like she kesian sia all the textbooks all in Malay abeh dia tak faham like she was just like so confused and the only thing she could can understand ya the only thing she can understand is the Arab cause like, the teacher teach in Arab right then whatever she don't understand she can actually ask in English and the textbook is in Arabic what so like she'll just translate on her own but everything else is in Malay and then like she just couldn't understand


ya so like, like imagine a literal small <P2>#Kahir#</P2> inside, , inside and then like he's just struggling cause like he only understand chinese ya then after that halfway through she left


he doesn't, ya he doesn't he only knows Chinese, , like SCDF banyak melayu [kan] but then I don't know lah


yeah, you know that time we go to his house for raya right then his nenek ask <P2>#Kahir#</P2> siapa tu then after that he just shake shake he just like !huh! he just like shake his


like shoulders then I ask you understand malay meh then he said


yeah it's basically ya food related, but he listens to Malay songs now


(ppc) okay so so this <P2>Camila</P2> girl right okay the chinese girl is named <P2>Kayla</P2> then this <P2>Camila</P2> girl she


, she did she got transferred out like after primary three she tahan from primary one all the way to primary three bro then after primary three right when they introduced the aLIVE thing then she transferred to aLIVE so there's like Kids aLIVE tweens aLIVE teens aLIVE then youth aLIVE so it's like technically like


, kindergarten then primary school then secondary school all the way until like you finished poly or whatever lah then, then me and <P2>#Aisyah#</P2> went to


Teens aLIVE, eh, is it Teens aLIVE oh ya ya ya secondary school is Teens aLIVE ya then we go to Teens aLIVE right together with her brother and then like coincidentally, err her mum said oh I put her in the Sunday class cause like confirm secondary school Saturday nak kena balik sekolah punya so I just put her in Sunday so she can go on Sunday then my mum was like yeah yeah I put her in Sunday also so like we just ended up sticking through like four plus


two, years, six more years of like being in the same class together right then after okay usually after ah madrasah right we will go upstairs to this like, the the the masjid got like three floors you know so we so our classroom is like second floor then we naik atas after


(ppc) madrasah then we go for mengaji together ya mengaji also same class, so you imagine all of us like the whole half of a Sunday morning I'm just spending time with her, and her brother and then like we always sit next to each other so like we are


no, okay, (ppc), (hmm) can you stop okay then after that, (ppc), so when <P2>#Aisyah#</P2> was in


oh so when we were in sec four right, I think me and her were talking we were like texting texting texting and then like err she JC she in JC already what then like we still o-levels right then her brother was in I think


year two poly, and her brother was damn annoying, like, there was one time where <P2>#Aisyah#</P2> and him fought, and then like the middleman is me you know like he texts me like can you tell my sister to do this then I'm just like go and do yourself like what the fuck sia


I, no, (ppc), so okay so over the years I thought <P2>#Aisyah#</P2> was just being like, a very like close best friend right and then like starting from this this moment when like she texted me in the morning she was like


, you know mak I berkenan dengan you then I'm just like !huh! asal like


no so when we were like sec four that was like what four years ago, then after that she texted like err her mum texted her apparently and and complained about to complain about her brother then after that her her mum was like he needs a


a strong women like <P2>#Ain#</P2> then I'm just like, yes


okay but like at at sixteen I wasn't having mental breakdown and I'm like actually scoring some grades you know so like ya, ya, ya sixteen year old me had it at all ya I peaked at sixteen sia ya like what is this I'm like twenty and ugly now


(ppc), okay never mind lah whatever lah, then after that, , ya <P2>#Aisyah#</P2> told me that then ever since then she was just like !ee! you my you my sister-in-law now for like I think the next two years or whatever and then like


during that year she would she dated this guy who was like I think, six years older, yeah, like, no but like he was like quite questionable like


like, no they jumpa over Twitter like he like he was actually a work he was actually a work security guard, at the airport you know the one in like when you check in into the airport then like there are people sitting on that golf buggy no the golf buggy people


the one that drives the golf buggy, like in those uniforms like that's him then (ppc), and ya then after that like, they had a lot of shit lah like, how he how like she has to pay for like things whenever they go out this that this that then like


I think ya then they, ya then but but then the thing is the seventeen tak kerja [seh] like the the one who's like working is like the twenty three

then she Macam rimas ah then she say nak nak belajar and everything then she say then he say oh okay lah then, then after that like he posted on Facebook like gambar of this girl, whose like I think, like whose like also like I think around his age or like older and then


then after that he say something he told her err I'm sorry but I already I I've I met someone new and uh she is already met my , family and I think we're going to tunang soon


I don't understand then after that she was just like what the hell lah okay so like she was going through a lot right and then, ya then okay the the thing is right like you know how I attract like this kind of friends


ya then so , <P2><P2>#Aisyah#</P2></P2> slowly became like that lah like err very clingy then like everything also must like


go away ke Macam like we were not like that close anyway we were just like oh ha ha friends, but


ya and then after that she just Macam clingy, she just like super clingy ah, I tak faham bro then, (ppc) she keeps saying like how she loves him and then like she wants him back and then after that right oh my god he putus tunang you know

oh, I think it's just ironic cause like the entire time when they were like not together right she was just actually talking shit about him, ya she was like


mat selenger blah blah blah blah blah, ya then after that everything then like oh my gosh then she told me this like funny story also, like when they were dating right like he wanted to watch a movie like they wanted to go watch a movie after school then like he took a bus

, going to, I don't know who I was meeting, then, I remember like, this, I don't know why I like just suddenly I was just on the train and then apparently like we pass by Admiralty then I think I saw somebody who looks similar to him or not I just don't know so


so, since I don't know whether I got tell you this story ah like since, primary six


so like dia pakai tudung then kalau dia nak potong rambut [kan] nak kena pergi to somebody's house you know to tutup aurat and all that lah, so my mum will go to this auntie's house, like they are like fucking far extended family kind of shit lah but like raya have to go to their house cause it's like some nenek punya nenek punya kakak punya some shit lah


so it's like super complicated then my mum I don't know how she just, like knows the auntie so like she will go like when she was younger to cut her hair then once I started like to pakai tudung in primary school my mom brought me there lah instead of like the normal kedai barber and all that


then since primary six up until last year because COVID was this year what so up until last year I will always have to go to her house to cut hair, this auntie has a son who is two years older than me okay


yes okay I keep on forgetting that word obviously menantu material right there but like she has been wanting me to be her menantu for god knows why like I'm so messed up I'm so fucked up but she still wants me to be her menantu you know dulu right when I was like like twelve nanti benda dia Macam kecil [jer] ah Macam she will be like


[orh] like what do you think of my anak like that like nanti aku duduk like dia kasi aku Makan nanti dia cakap you think by the way his name is okay let's let's give him like give me a nice Malay name like he's actually decent looking he's not ugly, even though I have a thing for Chinese guy he's not ugly when you have like put it on a Malay scale if there's something like that ah give me a Malay name


kay let's just use, !hais! neither do I but like there is one there is one


kay, let's just use, okay let's just use his name ah, then like she will like when she will like


yeah his name is <P2>#Adi#</P2> something, ya I think, like it's a long name ah but let's just use a generic one ah then after that, so, she like ask me like what do you think of <P2>#Adi#</P2> then I'll be like like apa kau merepek like that is your son what am I actually supposed to say you know


then after that like I will just avoid the question just act blur Sotong and all that all lah I don't know what I will do lah I cannot really remember, then after that like I don't know about you ah but I don't know like what happened like it just started to escalate then like last year right I go and salam dia punya mak lah cause like I don't know why


then I have to salam the mum then, everytime she asks questions like do I have a boyfriend, or all that I will let my mum talk lah, then I will just never talk to the aunt even eh the mum even though like, the questions are posed to me


so last year right dude, I salam dia nya mum and then straightaway dia punya mum was like, then I was just like, !huh!, !huh! sejak bila aku ada mak mentua sejak bila I'm like fucking nineteen and I was like


err I'm like my fucking future is a freaking pitch black hole and this base is like


number one, lady hold up hold up I love it that you love me so much like thank you I sayang you also baby and you always feed me good food but like besides the point I have never even spoken, not even a single word to the dude you know not even one word can you believe it she wants me to marry a guy that I have never even said hi to


like hi like I don't even know how his voice sounds like that's the problem right now, like is always the mum and the sisters looking at me up down ketawa ketawa gelek gelek sendiri and then like he's never there


like they will just laugh and then they will just like like that like that and then I'm just like I obviously know you you're talking about me and laughing and like you know teasing me but like why like I've never even spoken to the dude before and I don't know why, I thought about that because I think I'm just dreading next year raya and then that is one of the things that I'm dreading ah


how I cut my hair


ah the last time I went to an actual barber, like I tudung and all that, ya so after I told !huh!, no after I told my mum that I was genuinely uncomfortable with everything we stopped going there


it's been sometimes since I went to the house already, ya cause the harassing or like I don't know whether is considered harassing or not it's kinda cute, if you think of it in one perspective it's really cute, but if you think of it that it's been happening since primary six I'm kinda traumatized is how many years already


I don't know baby but what about you do you not ever had harassed, like I don't know it seems like


yeah I even, ya lah it's not considered harassed lah that's true, but like, [kan] I don't know it's just like a melayu nya thing


like how do they actually, judge you, per say you know, like, for my, my situation like I actually, they don't even know anything about me other than which school I go to I don't think she even knows what's my favourite colour


and what is she judging me as like on judging me on, when she wants me to be her, is that a good menantu quality like


you know it's just weird that's just what I was thinking about lah, that's all there's that, ,


especially if makcik got a son that is like freaky, like you know older than you or the same age or older gone girl girl bolt outta there and run, get out


you nak I sekarang tak I umur baru dua puluh tapi okay [dah], I okay I budak uni, I what other things you want to like you know how how do I make you like


I don't know man, I don't know, I don't know what else to say I budak uni, (ppc), like I don't know what is a good quality to be a menantu in the first place

oh no, was that her first, no wonder okay


oh, gap year


!huh!, chasing her


so she's still fickle-minded and then it's been two years and then she still doesn't know, maybe she still likes him but then why is she not getting together with him if she still likes him


ya but the funny thing is that I don't know kay I kind of get it if she like, still wants him back ah cause like it's her first what then like, you know you'll never know might like still sayang and like I don't know like, I don't know lah okay like I've never been cheated on so I don't really know like now I can tell you like straight up like oh if he cheats on me I'm leaving his stupid ass but like

what, ah


, , Serangoon a'ah


okay, you're already late


, okay what the what the heck he's so weird you want to meet your girlfriend but then you also want to berak then you don't want to berak first and then it's just like, confused


!ee! oh my god dude


I don't know nak cakap childish ke nak cakap tak ada otak ke tak faham sia, like first of all you are like freaking like twenty something and then you want to berak abeh kalau kau nak berak pergi lah cari toilet yang kau nak pergi kacau kau nya girlfriend cari [kan] toilet buat apa Siak


oh my god okay okay I also have a story to tell you okay it's like kinda similar so my friend met this guy like recently okay so they've been talking, like from then until now is only been two months okay one month into knowing


err one month into knowing each other, they got together, and then recently I met her so it's going to be about two months but not really I heard that


the dude already met the girl's mum, on an actual like they actually plan the thing you know I was like thinking, kay wait kau nya boyfriend jumpa mak kau sebab Macam kena caught is it like like terserempak kat somewhere then she's like no


like we actually planned a day for her mum to meet the guy and then I was like, !huh!, and then apparently like this coming okay I mean today is what day Friday so apparently they say either Saturday or Sunday the girl my friend is the one that is now my friend is going to meet the guy's mum


or or Sunday, yeah, yeah, don't you think it's fucking fast first of all right they've been they've known each other for less than two months got together in less than one month and have been together for two weeks and within that span of two weeks both of their parents like they met both their parents so the first week of getting together the guy met the girl's mum and then the second week is the girl meet the guy's mum


isn't that a bit fast, #lan jiao# I've been together with a guy for one year my mother tak tahu sia, and then this one


ya and cause he's Chinese but like, I cannot comprehend, like you know they took for less than two months and then you are confident enough, that, you bring, actually I also tak faham lah


so apparently they actually stated to each other both like both of them stated to each other like I'm not gonna play around but is both of their first relationship but then they actually clearly specify I tak nak main main okay and then suddenly I tak nak main main equals to you kena jumpa mak I


so like I tak faham girl girl tak believe it, even if I start dating like while lo and behold, I go and date some Malay guy I am sure as heck not gonna like ask him to come meet my mother in the first two weeks of getting together
