uh, [orh] okay okay


why [orh] she born in the afternoon


but don't don't like don't most of the people like born in the <mandarin>下午:xia wu</mandarin> since like the day time is longer but I don't know I don't know not longer but wait where when what time were you born


then you can enjoy the <mandarin>下午茶:xia wu cha</mandarin> right

(mmhmm)


okay why, (uh huh)


then <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> drama, okay, oh


oh, (mmhmm)


oh <mandarin>是我的话一定:shi wo de hua yi ding</mandarin> like one shot <mandarin>看到完:kan dao wan</mandarin> eh, I mean


that's true you know grey's anatomy, ya I, like binge watch all <mandarin>四五个:si wu ge</mandarin> seasons eh


for like two months, as in ya correct <mandarin>一个一个:yi ge yi ge</mandarin> season <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> like twenty five episode of one hour each


(mmhmm) then <mandarin>每天就躺一下就看:mei tian jiu tang yi xia jiu kan</mandarin> lor, uh normal <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> speed lor <mandarin>怎么你看:zen me ni kan</mandarin> fast forward <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> ah


right more like, I mean <mandarin>我每次:wo mei ci</mandarin> like skip five second five second to the <mandarin>比较精彩的:bi jiao jing cai de</mandarin> part


(mmhmm) ya lor, ya lor


better than <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> like, right like <mandarin>他讲话不是:ta jiang hua bu shi</mandarin> like <mandarin>讲很快:jiang hen kuai</mandarin> then


I mean but then the <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> subtitle <mandarin>也会:ye hui</mandarin> flash by <mandarin>很快:hen kuai</mandarin> what, it's true


I mean some Youtube videos <mandarin>我看:wo kan</mandarin> like times one point five speed lah <mandarin>因为它们很:yin wei ta men hen</mandarin> boring ah then like


no lah as in like Youtube videos like those like what smart local, ya I mean sometimes they like waste their time like I don't know just, laughing or like running around then like quite boring ah


I mean I also think so lah like <mandarin>有些他们每个:you xie ta men mei ge</mandarin> content <mandarin>都是一样的:dou shi yi yang de</mandarin> like


then, just


like, same content but, as in same concept but <mandarin>不同的:bu tong de</mandarin> content that honestly quite boring after a while


(mmhmm)


, #telok ayer# ah


I think <mandarin>他有问那个:ta you wen na ge</mandarin> group eh <mandarin>你没有:ni mei you</mandarin> reply ah, actually <mandarin>我不懂是:wo bu dong shi</mandarin> #telok ayer# <mandarin>还是不是不是是:hai shi bu shi bu shi shi</mandarin> #tanjong pagar#


I think, I don't know eh


oh actually #tanjong pagar# <mandarin>是那天:shi na tian</mandarin> ryan <mandarin>去那个:qu na ge</mandarin> gym ah <mandarin>那里:na li</mandarin> right, <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> Virgin Active


actually quite sick ah they have like three lanes of pool inside like a gym <mandarin>有位:you wei</mandarin> meh


!wah!, that's true eh speaking of gym ah you got sign up for the <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> SAFRA <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> membership right


(mmhmm), oh, (mmhmm), oh okay


oh, the start of the month, one month free oh


oh so


oh actually you know my friend he got the


NUS alumni club, the gym membership ah, ya I think <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> dad <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> alumni then <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> just <mandarin>用:yong</mandarin> the membership so like <mandarin>一个月十块而已:yi ge yue shi kuai er yi</mandarin> eh


err at NUS lor I think at near kent ridge there ah, ya lor ten dollars eh <mandarin>一个月十块而已:yi ge yue shi kuai er yi</mandarin> like like I don't think <mandarin>有地方比它便宜:you di fang bi ta pian yi</mandarin> sia


I mean ActiveSG,


(mmhmm), okay


err nine


(mmhmm), okay, (mmhmm), oh but then like that you might as well <mandarin>去买那个:qu mai na ge</mandarin> concession <mandarin>比较便宜:bi jiao pian yi</mandarin> what I mean you got to take MRT and bus anyways


I think <mandarin>差不多九十块:cha bu duo jiu shi kuai</mandarin> ah, but then you still take as in you take MRT to


work right next time probably, and you also take bus, okay so <mandarin>你刚才算一个月三十二块:ni gang cai suan yi ge yue san shi er kuai</mandarin> on the bus is it


oh, so <mandarin>三十二块:san shi er kuai</mandarin> is bus plus MRT lah, oh then actually okay lah because it will transfer fee right


per month lah, just on bus eh then you might as well get concession


then you buy the concession should be cheaper mah plus you confirm will take MRT one what weekends go out, and stuff


okay


oh I mean, because <mandarin>你可以走去:ni ke yi zou qu</mandarin> anytime mah, but then, as in <mandarin>不可以这样算:bu ke yi zhe yang suan</mandarin> lah, I mean SAFRA is <mandarin>肯定比较:ken ding bi jiao</mandarin> cheap <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> mah for as in this package lah


oh


then <mandarin>你签:ni qian</mandarin> for three month is a lower price then for six months like <mandarin>更便宜:geng pian yi</mandarin> lor so is like to attract you to sign for longer lah


I mean ya lor actually <mandarin>我在:wo zai</mandarin> I was thinking like, can go to pay per entry, because feel lazy to go ActiveSG but then I think now <mandarin>他们也不可以:ta men ye bu ke yi</mandarin> for


pay per entry lah because <mandarin>他们有:ta men you</mandarin> limit the number of people, oh but <mandarin>我家这里的那个很小:wo jia zhe li de na ge hen xiao</mandarin> though, no uh GYMMBOXX


right, there quite nice right


oh, like <mandarin>现在我去:xian zai wo qu</mandarin> like quite nice leh, ya everything new very colourful, err


I think is like those fitness corner kind of thing eh, ya but then is not the <mandarin>沙沙:sha sha</mandarin> will <mandarin>随时会掉出来:sui shi hui diao chu lai</mandarin> kind lor


ya, (uh huh), oh


!huh! serious #toa payoh# <mandarin>有那个:you na ge</mandarin> sled push <mandarin>的东西:de dong xi</mandarin> ah, damn, oh but #toa payoh# <mandarin>也是有:ye shi you</mandarin> SAFRA what


oh at #toa payoh# <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> SAFRA <mandarin>两层楼:liang ceng lou</mandarin> ah


I think like renovate then they changed it to maybe two stories I don't know


I think their time slot is like


then they close at, on the websites they <mandarin>他们讲十二点:ta men jiang shi er dian</mandarin> AM close lah so midnight, but then people just I think they open until twelve thirty then they chase people out


so per session one and a half hours I think, ya so thirty minutes for them to like clean up and like us or arrange for the next batch for people to come in lor


ya actually the place also quite big lah, so like there's one, bench like purely bench for bench one


and they are err, three different racks ah, for squat racks correct, ya lor so actually, quite good lah just that a lot of people using the squat rack lah


oh, I mean the squat rack also can do bench what, oh but need


!huh! then how to book the slot, oh so wait until people


oh when is your turn lah


oh, oh but this quite a bad system though


is the the bar graph is it


not bad what, I mean <mandarin>你早起来:ni zao qi lai</mandarin> what you already done the stuff as in you already productive for a while


oh but last night I just sleep sia I mean like twelve I just sleep already normally I sleep at like two


ya lor nothing to do also as in like I because I


duty


oh, sunday duty then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> just saturday like <mandarin>四点:si dian</mandarin> AM begin


oh because my guard house is twenty four hour so, they don't really they don't even look at me I just they just


let me in lor


(mmhmm), oh, as in what time is abnormal


oh they, oh is the silent hour thing ah


(mmhmm), , eh you do your ORD FFR already or not


oh then the dental leh,


oh oh hubert <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> extend right his ORD date, oh


oh then actually, oh, for hubert ah, !aiyo!, oh but then <mandarin>这样子不是很:zhe yang zi bu shi hen</mandarin> worth sia actually, you will may might earn more than outside lah but then <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> Sian sia <mandarin>呆在:dai zai</mandarin> camp


oh so <mandarin>他的朋友全部都是:ta de peng you quan bu dou shi</mandarin> february lah,


oh then actually okay ah like,


!wah! actually <mandarin>你懂那些:ni dong nei xie</mandarin> february but PTP <mandarin>的很:de hen</mandarin> Sian sia, because <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> like I don't think <mandarin>他们是:ta men shi</mandarin> early february or late january enlist then <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> ORD, february so <mandarin>他们迟我们:ta men chi wo men</mandarin> like two weeks enlist


but then, ya lor, you know my


<mandarin>我不懂是:wo bu dong shi</mandarin> overweight <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> obese lah but one of them lah, I think is your BMI more than a certain number then they just don't let you do IPPT already


(mmhmm), (uh huh) <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> ah


oh


we just <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> oh sorry <mandarin>这里不可以做:zhe li bu ke yi zuo</mandarin> lor


err <mandarin>做他们的:zuo ta men de</mandarin> fat test lor


(mmhmm), oh I mean of course lah <mandarin>如果你不:ru guo ni bu</mandarin> fit I don't think <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> any company, especially SAF <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> like combat fitness <mandarin>的会要你:de hui yao ni</mandarin> lah so


!huh!


, (hmm)


so normally is actually one time every few months lor


actually I think if you want to maintain a healthy standard just go, every three four months


yup, take BMI <mandarin>先:xian</mandarin> then BMI fail <mandarin>了就:le jiu</mandarin> take


body fat percentage, err I think <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> ah lipids <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> glucose ah


<mandarin>然后:ran hou</mandarin> M O <mandarin>就看那个:jiu kan na ge</mandarin> blood <mandarin>然后就:ran hou jiu</mandarin> take further actions lor, I mean


I guess is a every few months <mandarin>他们会来做东西:ta men hui lai zuo dong xi</mandarin> lor, oh so my camp


actually <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> camp <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> camp <mandarin>已近有了:yi jin you le</mandarin> leh <mandarin>已近有:yi jin you</mandarin> Wireless@SG <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> , err I actually don't know lah but, I believe so, I mean eh <mandarin>我的地方是有:wo de di fang shi you</mandarin> lah


oh I mean, I mean maybe they need the


oh no I think like <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> important people <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> VIP <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> land air base [bah] <mandarin>因该不是:yin gai bu shi</mandarin> land Changi airport lah


like uh <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> like


that's true <mandarin>他每天看到:ta mei tian kan dao</mandarin> VIP but then <mandarin>你也是会:ni ye shi hui</mandarin> stress ah <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> meh, !hannor!


err ya <mandarin>那是我:na shi wo</mandarin> duty <mandarin>的时候我没有东西做:de shi hou wo mei you dong xi zuo</mandarin> mah then <mandarin>我就去慢慢做:wo jiu qu man man zuo</mandarin> lor, oh but like <mandarin>看起来很多:kan qi lai hen duo</mandarin> but then actually quite fast one lah you just


is very simple questions, so, uh so <mandarin>它有:ta you</mandarin> like <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> package lah so <mandarin>你按进去的话它会有一个:ni an jin qu de hua ta hui you yi ge</mandarin> context for you to read, then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> read <mandarin>完了它就:wan le ta jiu</mandarin> oh quiz time then <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> like <mandarin>五题还是什么给你去做:wu ti hai shi shen me gei ni qu zuo</mandarin> lor


I guess basically, uh oh ya oh ya <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> E learning <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> lor, think is like, multiple choice question is very easy one lah, err ya but is only like four questions ah if you fail you just redo lor


(mmhmm), ya <mandarin>好像是有两个:hao xiang shi you liang ge</mandarin> ah


err take <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> practical test practical lesson mah


FTT <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> before your


I think <mandarin>你是要这样做:ni shi yao zhe yang zuo</mandarin> lah as in you <mandarin>不可以:bu ke yi</mandarin> take practical as in, practical test <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> practical, oh <mandarin>所以你可以:suo yi ni ke yi</mandarin> you, you can do before or after I think so lah


ya BTT like the basic theory <mandarin>是一定要做:shi yi ding yao zuo</mandarin> before you, take the test err the lesson


but <mandarin>好像很便宜:hao xiang hen pian yi</mandarin> leh <mandarin>五块:wu kuai</mandarin> ah, I think so <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> theory ah, I heard lah, but


err actually <mandarin>我不懂你那边有没有:wo bu dong ni na bian you mei you</mandarin> lah, but, but I think woodlands <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> ah


, or like maybe near Serangoon also have lah because ryan take <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> mah you ask him lor, (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


oh actually he asked us to dinner tomorrow I think he just asked not long ago, but I was busy lah so I never reply


I think <mandarin>他叫我们去:ta jiao wo men qu</mandarin> dinner <mandarin>先:xian</mandarin> then <mandarin>去找他:qu zhao ta</mandarin> sister, then <mandarin>一起喝酒还是什么我不懂:yi qi he jiu hai shi shen me wo bu dong</mandarin> eh, a bit weird but, but maybe not lah maybe is like just chill like


her sisters, I don't know shop or something so like maybe not drinking to the sister I have no idea, I don't know man, but ya lor then


I don't know leh ashley said okay lah but, err not very sure, I mean he's also never confirmed he say say only


I got, job interview tomorrow mah, oh so it's like for some swabbing thing ah, they say


interview tomorrow or monday but then monday I busy mah so I say tomorrow lor, but they actually haven't get back to me the timing yet so, I mean after office hour ah maybe I call tomorrow morning


you mean <mandarin>我明天早上明天早上打给他们:wo ming tian zao shang ming tian zao shang da gei ta men</mandarin> ah, no eh just from <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> application ah FastJobs ah


then just <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> just apply lor <mandarin>你全部去:ni quan bu qu</mandarin> apply then I mean when <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> apply <mandarin>很多一定有人:hen duo yi ding you ren</mandarin> get back to you <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lah


maybe or like like the cruise kind of thing they wanted to swab people, ya lor, well actually they say phase three when start do you know


I mean because club high risk mah


oh actually like I think <mandarin>在中国那些地方他们:zai zhong guo nei xie di fang ta men</mandarin> like, so like, like one group of people <mandarin>站一起:zhan yi qi</mandarin> like <mandarin>可能五个人还是什么:ke neng wu ge ren hai shi shen me</mandarin> actually I think <mandarin>有些是坐住的:you xie shi zuo zhu de</mandarin> lah <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> just <mandarin>听:ting</mandarin> music


happy <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> lor, actually I think is something along that concept, right, I mean <mandarin>他们现在又不可以开:ta men xian zai you bu ke yi kai</mandarin> club <mandarin>都没有钱:dou mei you qian</mandarin> survive


oh for the <mandarin>那些飞机:nei xie fei ji</mandarin> ah, but <mandarin>有人会要去:you ren hui yao qu</mandarin> meh


I mean no why would I go on an airplane to eat food just so stupid


then maybe I would like to try lah but it's just like normal thing nah, like you know because like SQ <mandarin>有那些:you nei xie</mandarin> like suites and stuff mah then actually quite nice lah like hotel room like that


ya lor, so like, but actually they start the cruises already right, I, think so the cruise to nowhere


ya so basically they just err I don't know float around and like, and let people enjoy their facilities on the cruise lor, ya lah of course lah if not !wah! just dock then


as in I think it's just, I think I think it's just err, I think I mean you sail somewhere lah then you come back lor there for a total duration of


(mmhmm)


oh cabin crew serious, right, oh but then <mandarin>你是做什么:ni shi zuo shen me</mandarin> on board <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> like just serve people ah or what


is it like, the F&B or like err, I don't know service hotel kind hospitality


but then the pay leh how's the pay, oh but actually quite interesting ah but then I think I saw one also then they say they want to hire like


those ex navy people or like, whatever lah for the cruise thing, , like who knew navy could play a part in


as in some of , as in <mandarin>有些人是做那种:you xie ren shi zuo na zhong</mandarin> engine room <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> engineer mah, like NSF even so maybe they can like join to help out in the professionals I don't know


err I think so oh ya actually because of cruise then a lot of people get jobs also lor then maybe


oh the, oh right


I mean that's why <mandarin>他们现在:ta men xian zai</mandarin> test <mandarin>每一个人先:mei yi ge ren xian</mandarin> lor before letting them go on cruise, I mean if I get the job, that's true because ya let's not talk about the shitty job lah


eh <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> university <mandarin>会玩:hui wan</mandarin> ultimate mah, I mean competitive, so maybe hall


err <mandarin>如果有的话也是:ru guo you de hua ye shi</mandarin> join B team lor <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> not bad lah, err <mandarin>不懂:bu dong</mandarin> leh but normally ultimate <mandarin>应该是:ying gai shi</mandarin> twenty to thirty should be lah


to form a complete team, ya lor but then <mandarin>很多人都玩:hen duo ren dou wan</mandarin> hall mah because <mandarin>比较:bi jiao</mandarin> stress free I think


wish ah, oh, as in I think is <mandarin>大概大概:da gai da gai</mandarin> is about the same one leh like, so you have to how put how many hours into CCA or like community or something I'm not sure


ya lor but, I mean if have also probably for hall lor, maybe join basketball also


as in for the hall ah, I think so, I believe so lah but actually maybe like if you get, more senior you probably have more stuff to do so for your university


so maybe, maybe end up also mostly year one year two I also don't know see how lor, I actually don't know how it works maybe is


how much you sign I don't know leh, have to ask lor <mandarin>明年再问:ming nian zai wen</mandarin> lor, ya lor


I mean because they say saturday <mandarin>要玩:yao wan</mandarin> right then victor <mandarin>也是讲他:ye shi jiang ta</mandarin> okay


but then <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> just <mandarin>讲而已每次都是讲而已就没有:jiang er yi mei ci dou shi jiang er yi jiu mei you</mandarin> follow up then last week, then <mandarin>每次:mei ci</mandarin> last minute <mandarin>才讲:cai jiang</mandarin> eh <mandarin>怎么没有人:zen me mei you ren</mandarin> reply


ya lor


then <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> !huh! <mandarin>不是没有玩了:bu shi mei you wan le</mandarin> meh then <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> where got got play what


that's true, right then he guilt trip


and jason lor, oh then you never join them


oh oh I mean <mandarin>你刚:ni gang</mandarin> you just sign only mah so, maybe next time you see them there, why not, help each other, true that


that day I saw this AJ dude, at the ActiveSG, is like I think our junior ah, I mean the, pants and stuff


I don't know leh but actually, actually I don't even know if he's our, junior ah I think maybe anderson secondary or something I actually don't know like I didn't look properly


ya lor, I don't remember leh he actually looks quite young, ya then like I mean a bit weird lah so I was mid set leh


so I doing some cable, then he come eh brother later you can spot me or not then I okay okay, no lah I'm at the cable then <mandarin>他在那个:ta zai na ge</mandarin> bench rack <mandarin>那边:na bian</mandarin> then <mandarin>他讲:ta jiang</mandarin> can you spot me then I say okay sure after I finish my set


I mean ya lah it's like three metre apart, kind of


oh BMT ah, as in guy is infamous


oh I mean, feels like a lot of people go Punggol SAFRA ah


!huh! the Yishun the SAFRA <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> renovate ah, oh serious ah


oh but, oh then okay lor then if I want to get maybe <mandarin>我十二月多才拿:wo shi er yue duo cai na</mandarin> lor because <mandarin>我比较靠近那边:wo bi jiao kao jin na bian</mandarin> mah


oh so


SAFRA <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> counter sign up <mandarin>还是你去那个:hai shi ni qu na ge</mandarin> EnergyOne <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> gym <mandarin>里面:li mian</mandarin> sign up


(uh huh), oh <mandarin>所以有:suo yi you</mandarin> difference mah between like is it different member or anything for the gym, red <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> silver member ah


uh, so <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> gym actually is same lah whether whatever colour of card you have


oh then <mandarin>就可以:jiu ke yi</mandarin> sign up <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> ah


oh you everything you put no ah


oh then just now I go go the job interview right then got one session is, then they really shoot ah they say !huh! what surgery you do before then actually, no lah is I mean <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> dislocate my arm mah then they oh okay but then is quite long ago lah so


they say <mandarin>没有事:mei you shi</mandarin> lor, yup maybe from now on, when <mandarin>他们问那个:ta men wen na ge</mandarin> question <mandarin>我就放:wo jiu fang</mandarin> no <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> lah, right


(uh huh), oh I think


then is free consultation or something, I guess lah but I think, most of the clinic <mandarin>都要女孩子:dou yao nv hai zi</mandarin> lah is just like how


err, most nurses are girls or something I don't know lah, I guess but then, I guess <mandarin>就是这样:jiu shi zhe yang</mandarin> lor like is just like how some places prefer guys


then this kind of job maybe they prefer, female to do, !hannor! ya lor she like


I think ya but I think very difficult to find, girls with experience but wanted to work in at the clinic lah I mean if they have experience, probably work at hospital or something right


, like I, I heard like one team like the favourites or something then they lost by a lot or something right


(uh huh), as in


(mmhmm), oh, oh


(mmhmm) (mmhmm), okay, then korea eh I thought there's a region korea is a region also right on itself, right then is it end already <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> worlds or <mandarin>还在:hai zai</mandarin> continue


oh so, almost ending already lah, got people gamble on this or not


damn, okay lah maybe end up never lah, don't know


ya dude actually okay lah but I think everyone expected lakers to win lah, I mean I guess but lakers versus heats eh, like <mandarin>怎样看都是:zen yang kan dou shi</mandarin> lakers <mandarin>会赢:hui ying</mandarin> what


wait but actually I mean heats they, they got try lah they put up a good fight lah <mandarin>他们差一点:ta men cha yi dian</mandarin> okay <mandarin>不是差一点:bu shi cha yi dian</mandarin> lah but they won two games lah so


right actually the last game I think heats <mandarin>他们累了还是什么:ta men lei le hai shi shen me</mandarin> lah, I think no lah, oh as in before <mandarin>他们玩:ta men wan</mandarin> finals ah


eh <mandarin>很像是:hen xiang shi</mandarin> leh, !hannor!, ya true


!wah! I just wait for next season only like, warriors will get a good draft pick right, for for who, for centre ah, right


but actually <mandarin>他们很多:ta men hen duo</mandarin> players as the team they won with championship they traded


I mean he's good defender, I mean that's true lah,


maybe I I don't think they can trade one lottery bid for, a centre maybe they trade together with, someone else, oh maybe


I think maybe they can sign over, actually I don't know eh maybe they don't have a lot of money you can just sign like Hassan whiteside, eh I think <mandarin>他不错:ta bu cuo</mandarin> leh <mandarin>我看他打:wo kan ta da</mandarin> right he's actually


(hmm) maybe lor but jimmy butler <mandarin>也是很:ye shi hen</mandarin> toxic what


toxic play ah, right like michael jordan trash talking everybody


oh, eh I heard one there's one Laojiao right but then, he's like in the team since the first season or something like that


what's the team ah, I think so, is it


okay, hello


me, oh, haven't eaten, because ah, ya


ya so recently dinner is like, kind of hype I guess


because like, err, so there's this like, drama I guess, but it's not it's not the Mediacorp drama, like I because like I because like I because


because like I don't want to like binge watch those drama, like once, so it's like every dinner I watch one episode, ya so I think today is like, so, then


then oh you never lah ya lah but you know because K drama got sixteen episodes what, so around, then eleven is the, usually the climax, ya lah but Macam one hour then


!wah! one day err, we spend eight hours like that watching drama, no life, do other stuff lah


or something, (uh huh) <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> doctor show on Netflix, seasons


twenty five episodes of err, so twenty five hours


but, you watch your drama is, one time speed ah, no lah because <mandarin>我有一些朋友:wo you yi xie peng you</mandarin> right <mandarin>他们告诉我:ta men gao su wo</mandarin> say they watch they one speed they cannot take it must at least one point five sometimes two times


ya lor that's like, is like I cannot understand what the guy talking about, ya


uh, ya if you use the, phone ah right because you can just press press, and uh, if I use computer then


ya, I don't know sia I don't know how they watch two times, ya


that's err, maybe someone <mandarin>看是读:kan shi du</mandarin> subtitle <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lor then, ya lah <mandarin>如果读:ru guo du</mandarin> subtitle I think should be can, just

so we end of first november lah so the best is to set up online, ya the start of the month lah, then they will start you the next month so you actually actually get


one month free, ya sia right, I also don't know sia


actually <mandarin>我做过:wo zuo guo</mandarin> calculation, ya, I think is around sixteen ah, I calculate if I remember correctly


alumni


where is that sia, so <mandarin>只有一间:zhi you yi jian</mandarin> ah


that's your eh what ActiveSG, eight plus, ya lah, but actually some, as in yesterday I got do calculation lah


then I travel there maybe, so let's say I go, five times a week, okay lah six times a week lah since the number more round


so one fifty times six, eight dollars right, nine nine fifty, ya


like ya ya ya <mandarin>九块:jiu kuai</mandarin> okay sorry sorry it's been too long, so <mandarin>九块:jiu kuai</mandarin> right then four weeks thirty six, then thirty six, so you add on <mandarin>那个十六块:na ge shi liu kuai</mandarin> per month right, for SAFRA so


is around fifty two, but concession is is how much


well, well, probably


is quite hard to spend sia


ya <mandarin>如果我从家去:ru guo wo cong jia qu</mandarin> gym ah, ya, eh


so is times two ah, four, seventy two


well, ya just on travelling, ya lor, but concession , how to say if this one if


example you suddenly travel less, then you pay less mah, no matter how much you travel, how little you travel, what do you think brother


ya lor, true lor, but what I considered is that, because A F right, Anytime Fitness, is around eighty plus


so if you add in the, the, travelling right because actually Anytime Fitness can just walk


so you don't have to travel right so, this this package looks like, damn cheap on paper, but then if you add in all the transport right is actually, not very beneficial lah, that's what I calculated out


this one I don't know eh


increase, I think COVID got slash right


err, okay lah but SAFRA <mandarin>是比较便宜:shi bi jiao pian yi</mandarin> mah


(uh huh), ya lah, I think is <mandarin>五十个人:wu shi ge ren</mandarin> ah


active ah or GYMMBOXX, maybe, fifteen should be maximum lah, ya


everything new ah


bouncy thing, the tiling the tiles, oh is still those kind lah


not bad ah ActiveSG nowadays getting better already, like damn big, then <mandarin>有那些:you nei xie</mandarin> artificial grass <mandarin>做那个:zuo na ge</mandarin> sled push, this kind of CrossFit <mandarin>的东西:de dong xi</mandarin> ah


ya, ya, is super big one, so, I probably won't go there


#toa payoh# ya lah <mandarin>也是有:ye shi you</mandarin> SAFRA lah, the gym ah the gym itself


spiral staircase, oh <mandarin>那个外面的:na ge wai mian de</mandarin> lah


!huh!, !whoa!, because last time I go is level two sia


!wah! eh actually not bad sia like that, then the limit is


so so <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> buffer time in between ah


like a lot ah, is it


squat racks, !wah! not bad ah, because like I heard, because <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> house


like <mandarin>有一个:you yi ge</mandarin> Anytime Fitness, fifteen people is, I think is two squat rack, three benches only, maybe that's why lor smaller


ya lah, but #kebun baru# one is the smallest, one five fifteen


oh this one is wait outside one <mandarin>如果有:ru guo you</mandarin> fifteen right then wait outside ya, SAFRA <mandarin>一样:yi yang</mandarin> lah, ya lor <mandarin>用那个:yong na ge</mandarin> QR code <mandarin>去扫描:qu sao miao</mandarin> then


ya lah <mandarin>如果你组:ru guo ni zu</mandarin> nearby, probably can lah but, imagine you walking home already then they text need come back


ya, that's why that's why <mandarin>我去:wo qu</mandarin> SAFRA then, I don't know what time who goes the least previous people


but, I think few weeks ago <mandarin>我去五点这样子:wo qu wu dian zhe yang zi</mandarin> right, then Google Map say <mandarin>五点:wu dian</mandarin> is like okay okay, uh ya


a bit wasted ah, true, usually I sleep at, I don't know eh, these days, cannot sleep early lah


if if if I really want to sleep early also cannot sleep, I don't know why also


ya lor I think is duty lah honestly, ya


then like, usually <mandarin>三点:san dian</mandarin> lah then <mandarin>我做很多:wo zuo hen duo</mandarin> duty mah, ya <mandarin>习惯了:xi guan le</mandarin> lor


(uh huh), but the guard house won't ask you meh <mandarin>为什么四点:wei shen me si dian</mandarin> book in, oh but is S T is it


!wah! mine is, and sometimes, say eh <mandarin>为什么这个人这么早还是这么迟才:wei shen me zhe ge ren zhe me zao hai shi zhe me chi cai</mandarin> book in, because like it's abnormal mah


I think between, twelve to four, after after midnight have already, they will like


take your name, and stuff but, if is not the S Ts right, then, I don't think they will lah, those cadets, I don't think they care, how to like


the draw blood only, dental ya finish already I did, dental, ya lor <mandarin>他们拿的那个东西:ta men na de na ge dong xi</mandarin> then <mandarin>按按:an an</mandarin> then done


ya but I saw hubert there lah, ya, extend three months I think short term contract, but I think


one point nine K lah, if I remember correctly, ya sia


like ORD, ya, then <mandarin>他要跟他们做:ta yao gen ta men zuo</mandarin> lor then extend, draw more pay do the same work might as well right


ya, but then also like, too bad lah, how to say, cannot pass IPPT mah, if you are overweight then need to pass IPPT, do you need to be


serve extra, BP already ah


oh, speaking of BMI right <mandarin>有没有那些:you mei you nei xie</mandarin> regular


like


!huh! they got


oh, oh I see


oh, because I got some, I don't know ah I heard from like some people your, career progression ah, will be like, damaged lah


ya lah but got <mandarin>有些人:you xie ren</mandarin> right really very, extreme lah


they come like one day come four times, then the say okay I morning go and run then after I ran right I then <mandarin>我回来拿:wo hui lai na</mandarin> BMI, then then, when he came back right I think it was still <mandarin>超标好像是:chao biao hao xiang shi</mandarin> twenty eight <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> twenty eight


then he say okay later err I go eat lunch, I go run again then I come back, so I one day take for them like five times, ya sia that's why then is like, so hard leh how you going to lose so much weight like is maybe you are twenty seven point one


it's possible lah but these people are like twenty eight twenty nine


so only can do one time lah, true but I think, I thought for


should be ya


but normally if, some people need dietitian you all will refer them out also, or is it nutritionist


uh, then if still fail leh, for fasting lipids


!wah! then like <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> M O with you lah


ya did you see the news article the one like seven camps getting free Wi-Fi, I think air base ah


camp what ah, is it, ya lah, they say seven camps but


if I remember correctly <mandarin>很多是:hen duo shi</mandarin> air base, a bit welfare ah, ya true, because air base like


other other country, they come here train


uh, support those ministers lah #kim jong un# , ya true


ya cannot mess up lah, then G G, it's over, you finish the ORD quiz already ah


like, I don't know that day I wanted to do then NS NS portal always down


about NS men lah what you do afterwards


(uh huh), oh <mandarin>很像:hen xiang</mandarin> school <mandarin>一样:yi yang</mandarin> lah all E learning ah , I think is like a trend


but need to get hundred percent ah, speaking about this test right, your, those you know driving the test right


is it BTT and FTT, like is it better to, take the test first or take the test while you are driving


is it


uh


so BTT <mandarin>是一定要的:shi yi ding yao de</mandarin> lah


because, because the this one is like need or not, and then you only do once leh the test only do once eh, five dollar


!walao! it's a good thing really, I hope so very easy one, oh ya <mandarin>要去那:yao qu na</mandarin> Ubi is it


oh so <mandarin>靠近家有:kao jin jia you</mandarin> lah, actually I also don't know I mean, let's go and find out after this, woodlands ah

oh so <mandarin>然而放进去:ran er fang jin qu</mandarin> ah like swabber then <mandarin>出来:chu lai</mandarin> lor, true true


phase three <mandarin>要开了:yao kai le</mandarin> what, maybe they want to start swabbing everyone, there are more opportunities


I think, real date yet


is it, eh imagine club <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> social distance, !wah!, so <mandarin>离谱:li pu</mandarin> ah


isn't that just #siam diu#


it's like dining


will you want to go, , , ya sia like <mandarin>那个位子这么窄:na ge wei zi zhe me zhai</mandarin> and


first class ah, maybe have sia <mandarin>可以去:ke yi qu</mandarin> check, oh ya I got see the, his videos, actually damn sick

oh


jobs <mandarin>时候:shi hou</mandarin> right, then they got hire, cabin crew, is it is it called


maybe <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> apply <mandarin>的时后:de shi hou</mandarin> then, just <mandarin>乱乱放你:luan luan fang ni</mandarin> lah because cruise really a lot of stuff, maybe you go there be temperature screener you never know , never say leh, they always never say one


got experience ah, !wah!, so you go there and do what like operate <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> ship ah,


is it because, that time circuit breaker they retrench also, ya right ya, ya sia


but <mandarin>有点:you dian</mandarin> scary lah because actually one of the first major breakout is on cruise mah, princess diamond ah, ya, one person Kena then the whole whole ship Kena


ya lor, ya that's when you come in lah , if you, want to also lah


ya, competitive


but <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> A and B team hor


!wah! actually like, whole university maybe, sixty people at most, err, level of commitment <mandarin>好像很高:hao xiang hen gao</mandarin> lah


how to say


requirements, to stay lah


oh, not sure how it works also, but <mandarin>你会玩:ni hui wan</mandarin> lah normally


per level, ya, so year one can play with year three


ya lah true lor that's why, so <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> points <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> earn right, is for one semester <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> for the entire year


ya sia, to ask lah, ya lor <mandarin>明年才问:ming nian cai wen</mandarin> lah still got time, a lot of time


ya lor then <mandarin>起床之后:qi chuang zhi hou</mandarin> then <mandarin>有人讲:you ren jiang</mandarin> eh shit ah


like that then you'll be like !wah!, to to just to read your phone to say they don't want to


<mandarin>每次这样子:mei ci zhe yang zi</mandarin> mah, right, he will push for it lah


it's like, how to say other people ah, we like, he will be like you owe me once, ya guilt trip


ya but, ya lor


, no lah, ya


hopefully no lah , a bit a bit awkward, <mandarin>你知道:ni zhi dao</mandarin> ryan <mandarin>的很吵:de hen chao</mandarin> seriously


is it I thought <mandarin>改名:gai ming</mandarin> already


, but the size leh does he look like old


, !huh!, but you have the cable then he ask you to spot you, you ask him


but the bench <mandarin>是很靠近那个:shi hen kao jin na ge</mandarin> cable ah, oh, that's why lah , ya I also see familiar people lah yesterday I, I saw, from BMT ah


ya, but the thing is, infamous lah I guess you can say


so I like <mandarin>认识认识:ren shi ren shi</mandarin> but then he don't know me lah, maybe Punggol <mandarin>下去第一下去:xia qu di yi xia qu</mandarin> good place don't want to, go Yishun, Tio lor


need to move house to Yishun already but Yishun, renovating lah, ya


when, is it


ya lor, ya six months, after ORD <mandarin>就可以了他们讲要:jiu ke yi le ta men jiang yao</mandarin> bring your certificate


then I'm like, why sia <mandarin>可是没有问:ke shi mei you wen</mandarin> lah I mean they just doing their job


oh <mandarin>我直接问:wo zhi jie wen</mandarin> ryan lah then ryan <mandarin>跟我讲去那个:gen wo jiang qu na ge</mandarin> gym then <mandarin>我就走进去:wo jiu zou jin qu</mandarin> say oh, I'm here to sign up for ORD package, then they oh instantly know lor


no leh, oh <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> card ah


<mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> same <mandarin>的他没有:de ta mei you</mandarin> check <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> card, phone application


scan like <mandarin>在那个:zai na ge</mandarin> counter <mandarin>里面:li mian</mandarin> scan, ya then <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> fill in


ya then I just I just tick I don't have anything , ya, I don't want put yes


!huh! you tick yes, wisdom tooth surgery no ah, oh


ya lah <mandarin>没有事:mei you shi</mandarin> lah, oh no this kind of stuff they also know, ya lah because you know the #ang mo kio# clinic, the one that


they <mandarin>拒绝你:ju jue ni</mandarin> one, ya, you still remember they provide, err, what medical consultation, for free


right, that's why it's good lah


!wah! <mandarin>有点:you dian</mandarin> sexist eh seriously, service <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lah


ya service <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lor, the thing is they want girls, experience


one to two years, ya lor, clinic also not say earn a lot of money


like you, that's why


oh league ah ya, the favourites ah ya because like coming to tournament <mandarin>是中国最强的:shi zhong guo zui qiang de</mandarin> lah


right <mandarin>可是中国那个最强的:ke shi zhong guo na ge zui qiang de</mandarin> they, almost lose lah, ya, so I so is like because there's one that is casted by US right


then vietnam thailand korea china etcetera etcetera, I always watch the <mandarin>中国:zhong guo</mandarin> one because they really they really throw a lot of money then is damn <mandarin>搞笑:gao xiao</mandarin> also, ya then <mandarin>中国:zhong guo</mandarin> one have one seed, because <mandarin>他们玩:ta men wan</mandarin> best of five mah they will


they first two games <mandarin>他们输给:ta men shu gei</mandarin> europe, then the, so called caster damn angry damn funny one, korea region <mandarin>是很强:shi hen qiang</mandarin> lah


semi finals , ya semi finals <mandarin>四个队两个都是:si ge dui liang ge dou shi</mandarin> china ah


I don't know where he buy from lah but ya, I think he got think he said he wanted to play but, I don't know whether he really did


really, more entertaining than, NBA finals ah, well it's quite obvious lah but everybody expected the keepers to win also mah


fun ah


every game was quite close towards the until towards the end, right, seven games hor, no, I think celtics <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> seven games


uh, seven games ah, four five


five games <mandarin>而已:er yi</mandarin> hor <mandarin>跟那个:gen na ge</mandarin> nuggets ya, easy win, ya but I don't know whether they want to trade away


don't know leh, ya centre <mandarin>因为他们缺少:yin wei ta men que shao</mandarin> centre mah right, who's at that position now,


the three most important people still there mah, ya lah, I don't know I see


I wonder who they going to sign I mean who's who are they going to sign, as the centre, andrew wiggins, andrew andrew wiggins


ya still got that guy eh, Hassan whiteside


ya, ya <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> I don't know leh people don't like him mah maybe <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> locker room toxic


heat <mandarin>那些都是:nei xie dou shi</mandarin> rookie mah right, like they they don't want to do lah they don't know what to do so, they they need people to bring them around lah, ya


that's why like, like vic olad also mah, some teams perform better with like, one #lao jiao#, then no conflict what like


ya, should be, S K T lor but <mandarin>今年没有给:jin nian mei you gei</mandarin> lah


!hey! brandon, how are you, err, how is your work today


err <mandarin>因为今天是:yin wei jin tian shi</mandarin> uh near that <mandarin>年尾:nian wei</mandarin> lah near the end of the year already so a lot of performance thing right now that's why we're all rushing for deadlines, err <mandarin>当然吃饱了:dang ran chi bao le</mandarin> lah <mandarin>现在已经:xian zai yi jing</mandarin> now already nine thirty already


oh err this is the newbie one lah newbie always like that one right like I think err when talk about newbie ah they always give you the on job training I guess on job training err <mandarin>开始不容易:kai shi bu rong yi</mandarin> lah but <mandarin>久了后应该是:jiu le hou ying gai shi</mandarin> very easy lah


ya that that is true ah I think OJ I also now on OJT ah but lucky I got good seniors ah so they <mandarin>很好每次在教我:hen hao mei ci zai jiao wo</mandarin> then <mandarin>带我去喝酒还有去带我去吃饭:dai wo qu he jiu hai you qu dai wo qu chi fan</mandarin> so it's not bad lah I think


yes I think definitely ya because <mandarin>她们都是女孩子:ta men dou shi nv hai zi</mandarin> ah so and also like <mandarin>三十多岁的女孩子:san shi duo sui de nv hai zi</mandarin> very very chatty so I think that's why err can really get along err well with them


actually <mandarin>错:cuo</mandarin> leh <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> we are actually under gen Y we are like not millennials nor are we like the baby boomers or the err that age era so I think we are in the same generation <mandarin>的八十年代到九十年代的:de ba shi nian dai dao jiu shi nian dai de</mandarin> so that's why we can like sort of click ya


oh I think that is quite different from me because err for me most of them are, err more or less the same generation I think post


they they are not ya they are really really very old already and they are like talking about kids and stuff but the <mandarin>三十多岁:san shi duo sui</mandarin> one right is still err talking about some of them haven't get they are married or there are some of them are still just married but then haven't get kids yet so they are still in the <mandarin>二人世界:er ren shi jie</mandarin> and the youth lifestyle still enjoying their their young the youth while it last ah that's what they always say


!wah! that is true actually my boss is different my boss is actually very err quite old compared to my err <mandarin>其他的:qi ta de</mandarin> colleagues ah <mandarin>因为她是二零零四年毕业的:yin wei ta shi er ling ling si nian bi ye de</mandarin> so she has this is her first job and I think she has been here for quite too long already as what she said so so I think err for me and my direct boss right is a bit difficult


more like generation gap but my senior colleagues that teach me then <mandarin>那个是不同的:na ge shi bu tong de</mandarin> leh <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> ya but is not bad I think so far so good how about you


ya, I see I see so I think err talking about work ah I think the work right now still I think should be quite okay right because now we just started in the new err new job so got time to do something like recording our voices right


ya I think the they always ask us to take a second job because the M all the MP also got second job ah the MP is not their main job only the err <mandarin>反对党的:fan dui dang de</mandarin> MP hor <mandarin>才是有那:cai shi you na</mandarin> as a full time MP <mandarin>也是他们说的:ye shi ta men shuo de</mandarin> so I think that's why all the PAP ones are talking about the having a second job to get income stability


ya actually err how are your friends in your degree courses ah because <mandarin>多数我的朋友都是已经:duo shu wo de peng you dou shi yi jing</mandarin> err grab <mandarin>有找到工作:you zhao dao gong zuo</mandarin> and they are quite err stable already in the sense that their job is all full time one none of them are on the SG united traineeship ah


nice, I see I see I see I I think err, err it'll be quite interesting when we go back to army err when the next reservist where we most of our almost everyone has more or less graduated already and <mandarin>已近在工作:yi jin zai gong zuo</mandarin> I think there is the the key that we can look for and talk about different topics ah last time it was all about school now <mandarin>就是大人的话题:jiu shi da ren de hua ti</mandarin> lah I think so it's quite err gonna be interesting ah when do you think our next reservist will be


ya I think I hope also year june but I think if I'm not wrong ah it needs they need to inform us six months in advance so maybe they will have a maybe not so early but IPPT is open already I got a few friends that went for IPPT and then they


err, it looks like it's a very small group of thirty only ah are you going to train for IPPT or relying on the exemption


(uh huh) ya I was trying to train for err my IPPT <mandarin>拿:na</mandarin> gold ah <mandarin>因为有五百块可以拿如果拿到金牌:yin wei you wu bai kuai ke yi na ru guo na dao jin pai</mandarin> right <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> is not easy I feel now once you work right you you set aside time to go exercise but then always got


OT come and then you are unable to err exercise so, err I usually exercise in the evening I don't really exercise in the morning that's why I'm so affected by OT


ya that that is true I think ah but I think we need to set aside time for our next outing so err we should go and err pester one of the err <mandarin>我们的朋友:wo men de peng you</mandarin> ah to get them to go and organise an outing ah err I think err <mandarin>火锅:huo guo</mandarin> is long overdue ah I recently went to Haidilao ah really not bad actually the food and is err relatively


okay so, actually err <mandarin>那时候我去的时候上个礼拜:na shi hou wo qu de shi hou shang ge li bai</mandarin> right err it's also my first experience at Haidilao it was just a casual err suggestion from my friends <mandarin>还是什么:hai shi shen me</mandarin> I went with my secondary school friends ah so


err actually the the the <mandarin>汤底:tang di</mandarin> right is not bad one except for the the collagen soup the collagen soup right the <mandarin>美人锅:mei ren guo</mandarin> right their restaurant is better, and but the tomato err soup base and


the Sichuan pepper err soup base is actually very good, and I think the in terms of the, err the food like the meat ah is all very nice and very fresh the fish was like, just cut up one I think ya like within an hour so I think what people really liked about the Haidilao is


the service so the !wah! the the waitress right, !wah! nonstop err giving us err free stuff so


err <mandarin>免费的那种:mian fei de na zhong</mandarin> apron you know apron so <mandarin>你不会弄到你的衣服:ni bu hui nong dao ni de yi fu</mandarin> ah


!huh! !wah! your company got discount for Haidilao then we must go some time already ah let let's get err we plan, when, err all of us just receive our pay day or something then we go celebrate or something like because we got just right five person in our outing group so I think it's err it's err it's quite easy to get go Haidilao but err one thing to know is that reservation is quite hard I had <mandarin>我要订两个礼拜之前才能拿到位:wo yao ding liang ge li bai zhi qian cai neng na dao wei</mandarin> on a weekend ya


okay ah that's that <mandarin>那是好主意:na shi hao zhu yi</mandarin> ah not bad ah I so this weekend err what are your plans for this weekend


oh for me <mandarin>我我:wo wo</mandarin> err <mandarin>这星期六:zhe xing qi liu</mandarin> ah, I go and err join my fishing club friends friends to <mandarin>钓鱼:diao yu</mandarin> again, and it's also because I'm supposed to file tax for, my club but I forgot to file so now we are tax overdue and


err we need to file soon if not one of us have to go to jail


so we still have to show that <mandarin>我们没有赚钱:wo men mei you zhuan qian</mandarin> ah so <mandarin>我们每年都要亏钱如果你亏钱就没有税来还:wo men mei nian dou yao kui qian ru guo ni kui qian jiu mei you shui lai hai</mandarin> ah so that's why we are sort of err no no taxes but


err some clubs actually do make money so err, we're nonprofit but you still can make money but then you will have to pay tax ya


err <mandarin>今年赚了多少:jin nian zhuan le duo shao</mandarin> eh <mandarin>去年对:qu nian dui</mandarin> sorry <mandarin>去年赚了多少钱:qu nian zhuan le duo shao qian</mandarin> ah so <mandarin>我们之前每次都是亏钱来的可是因为:wo men zhi qian mei ci dou shi kui qian lai de ke shi yin wei</mandarin> err


COVID nineteen ah then <mandarin>我们就:wo men jiu</mandarin> err <mandarin>没办法没有:mei ban fa mei you</mandarin> err <mandarin>不能回去学校:bu neng hui qu xue xiao</mandarin> err


err then


oh okay, so actually I am I was learning japanese before, then I was thinking about going for the <mandarin>那个日语的考考试:na ge ri yu de kao kao shi</mandarin> ah, err <mandarin>可是:ke shi</mandarin> right now a bit busy quite hard to learn the japanese ah


I see I see err, err right now, so, oh I heard recently that you become the coding rep for your, company so are you going to learn coding


err I know a bit of python and err, err excel VBA but excel VBA is not really a true computer programming language is just a side one, so err I learn it, the


I think <mandarin>去年很像:qu nian hen xiang</mandarin> more than one year ago, so it's been awhile already since I <mandarin>学这个:xue zhe ge</mandarin> computing programming language <mandarin>可是我的:ke shi wo de</mandarin> err <mandarin>我还是有那些:wo hai shi you na xie</mandarin> scripts ah <mandarin>在我的电脑里面:zai wo de dian nao li mian</mandarin> so I is quite easy for me to go and revise ah I think programming is easier to revise than


err actual language itself


programming skill yes at the banks err increasingly we are switching to more, err the programming side because, err <mandarin>一九九零年的时候:yi jiu jiu ling nian de shi hou</mandarin> hor err they came out with excel so that time it was just very new in in terms of excel


err microsoft excel but now excel is everywhere for the banks but I think now they are trying to switch towards a programming to help increase the bank efficiency ah because bank usually hire too many people and that's why they want to upskill their workers


oh really I didn't know about err his err COVID nineteen app, err but, I know last time he was doing some err tech related stuff in terms of a fitness watch right do you remember what it is


ya I think this louis err not really wasn't really focused on his err err tech err his app right the


his err fitness watch because he was more of a designer back then than a coder himself so he was, relying on <mandarin>一个越南的男人:yi ge yue nan de nan ren</mandarin> hor <mandarin>来帮他做他那个:lai bang ta zuo ta na ge</mandarin> app the software so I think that's why it was very slow I think now that louis is so good at programming and in technology consulting ah maybe his app will come back again as the fitness watch


ya <mandarin>他他真的是蛮懒惰的因为我还记得在当兵的时候:ta ta zhen de shi man lan duo de yin wei wo hai ji de zai dang bing de shi hou</mandarin> hor <mandarin>他是:ta shi</mandarin> <mandarin>对不对:dui bu dui</mandarin> then <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> hor <mandarin>每次那个我们的那个:mei ci na ge wo men de na ge</mandarin> building <mandarin>每次都是很像要倒这样每次这么多裂痕:mei ci dou shi hen xiang yao dao zhe yang mei ci zhe me duo lie hen</mandarin> ah and then hor <mandarin>东西要倒下来:dong xi yao dao xia lai</mandarin> lah then <mandarin>那个锁门的锁都坏掉啊我记得:na ge suo men de suo dou huai diao a wo ji de</mandarin> !wah! that time really really very bad ah


err <mandarin>有一次:you yi ci</mandarin> then john john <mandarin>他说也是没有什么做工:ta shuo ye shi mei you shen me zuo gong</mandarin> ah <mandarin>只是他那时他讲他修那个:zhi shi ta na shi ta jiang ta xiu na ge</mandarin> air con <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> hor <mandarin>他只是看:ta zhi shi kan</mandarin> then err <mandarin>吹吹一下:chui chui yi xia</mandarin> then <mandarin>就讲有:jiu jiang you</mandarin> fix


yes I think this err louis ah eh then there's another guy that is err err quite err quite err successful also right, isn't that err err, err henry I think is it henry because he was doing the err cake shop business with his then girlfriend right


err yes is I think their shop is called henry and L, ya they make quite good cakes I think that website is still up there


err and his website is still on I think he's still taking orders so he should be still quite successful ah because the business can last so long means very good already


ya and I think, henry right I think that time I always always make fun of him but actually his baking skills is really really very good ya I think I miss his cakes maybe next time when we go back to army must ask him to bring some in


oh I see I see I see actually that batch of err upper study quite a unique bunch right I remember there's another one is err he's under finance one I think he's called jason ya I think jason err is right now err in the bank as well with me I think he's probably I think he's in OCBC if I'm not wrong do you know him


do you know where he go, I think


ya that that is true ah very soon we won't see him in the army then isn't there a future lawyer in army as well ah your under study one your under study if I'm not wrong his name is Kiran right


he should still be studying law in NUS right so what could happen to him


err, law <mandarin>应该是四年:ying gai shi si nian</mandarin> the same as all other degrees but <mandarin>他们还是:ta men hai shi</mandarin> got <mandarin>一个叫:yi ge jiao</mandarin> I think <mandarin>叫:jiao</mandarin> professional exam I think it's called being called to the bar so if they're called to the bar then they can practise so it's like


they have to do after their studies of four years they have to do some sort of internship then they can take this exam then after that then they can, practise as a lawyer


is the neighbour the one you will say err didn't like err, you putting the plants outside your house one of the one that is in the community one err the, err the what the facility management err, err committee


I see I see I remember you told me that err he ask you to move your plants away or something like that right then you were, err your family was like err why why is she so nosy but end up is because she was in you found that she was in the committee right


oh no I hope that you get err on better terms I guess err anyway there was this err if I'm not wrong err there should be err there was this friend of ours right I think is err


jacky ah right jacky likes to go for contest right isn't it


ya I I remember jacky he was err he won he actually showed proved to me that are being a contest winner is actually a, a potential side job I guess but he has taken it as his full time job for two to three years I think


ya I think this guy hor really is err next level I think if you tell anybody that that guy is a full time contest winner nobody will believe him


ya I think I if I remember he actually won a treadmill also right right and then he try to sell on Carousell did he manage to sell it


I see I see that's quite funny he has been trying to sell I remember he was trying to sell that, err treadmill for quite some time


ya ya I think I I remember him saying that he applied for to be a swabber, but I see him like he is still quite free though he didn't really don't really seem very busy with the swabbing activities


err so you you say that he's confirm inside as a swabber


or <mandarin>他是很像那种:ta shi hen xiang na zhong</mandarin> err, admin assistant ah <mandarin>对不对:dui bu dui</mandarin> err I think <mandarin>他很像应该是现在新加坡是没有什么:ta hen xiang ying gai shi xian zai xin jia po shi mei you shen me</mandarin> err case ah <mandarin>所以我们可以:suo yi wo men ke yi</mandarin> err <mandarin>比较安心一点现在我们听说:bi jiao an xin yi dian xian zai wo men ting shuo</mandarin> phase three <mandarin>也是要出来了所以:ye shi yao chu lai le suo yi</mandarin> I think we can expect to have larger gatherings err more than five err do you know when phase around when phase three will start


oh I didn't know that it was only eight people I was expecting ten people but I wasn't really following the news err recently err what else ah did they say about phase three


I see then do you know if err karaoke is err open already


uh that is true ah because err err to speak the truth ah <mandarin>我已经蛮想念那些周杰伦的歌所以:wo yi jing man xiang nian na xie zhou jie lun de ge suo yi</mandarin> I think I'm quite excited when if they do open the


err the karaoke again, err but I think let's just hope that the cases don't go up do you know that I think they recently opened err a few green safe, green lanes I think this is what it's called then you can go travel are you going to plan your next grad trip with your family or friends


I see I see I see err didn't you go with err someone err to korea, err for exchange I think he was err our army friend what was his name again ah, do you remember


yes yes yes oh ya ya tommy tommy I remember tommy ya yes ya the guy also another one very funny one right


ya I remember actually I remember tommy and henry were quite close ah because they were err originally from the same bunk at the start then they move in if I'm not, or is it, I remember they were quite close because they were in the at least in the same branch of the our army office ah so those two have been quite close ah how how is err tommy doing ah do you know


(uh huh) ya ya ya I know I know HP I know HP ya, !wah! he go work in such a big company ah oh then that means he confirm, guarantee got some err Lobang for, err computers right because since he work in a computer manufacturer so I think


ya I remember he's a Lobang king we should definitely get him in our next outing as well and make him make tommy plan ah since I remember he also like henry a bit <mandarin>懒惰:lan duo</mandarin> one these two hor we should make these two plan the next outing right


!aiya! then, both one is err, I remember <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> one the henry is a barrier damage then this tommy was err pump petrol one right is some POL if I'm not wrong right err petrol and err


what's what does POL stands for ah I forget already, oh


uh ya but is a is a perfect job for him lah because not much to do except when we err when the tanks go outfield or go for training right, err then is not like <mandarin>每每天都打油:mei mei tian dou da you</mandarin> right ya so I think that's a a perfect job for him I think once we go back to then why we haven't really know what's our job in reservist right the last few the last two reservists we


err mainly only go and go back for like training only right


yes yes I think that is err but we are still on, the third low key I think so I think the next one should be, more training I guess, err <mandarin>一定有:yi ding you</mandarin> I think what we call outfield already so


that is something that I'm not looking for but maybe when we work right then this is like a holiday camp for us


yes definitely definitely ya, err and, now right let's talk about something else I think if I recall correctly right, err this tommy also I remember he had a


younger brother right was he like is he still in school I remember their age gap was quite big as well


I think it is timmy but I'm not really sure because very very long already but err timmy and tommy it sounds quite close ya but I remember they have a chinese names lah but we always call them by the english name so I only remember him by tommy his chinese name also not really sure


ya but I remember his surname lah his surname was Goh lah so it's tommy Goh and, timmy Goh I guess, ya I think


ya, ya oh but I think he he, he introduced himself to the our malay friends and err basically our non-chinese friends as tommy ah because his chinese name even for us chinese is quite difficult to pronounce ah and quite difficult to remember ya so I think tommy sounds easy ah the timmy must be I remember already is that time err where we were err so called graduating from err


the army right then we he bring his brother then he introduced him as timmy ya I think that's how we remember him as timmy the brother


yes I I think I remember their generation more than it should be at least ten years right their generation gap, ya I think that that is going to be quite different imagine err his his brother in primary school say I just graduated then his do you have an elder sibling yes and the elder sibling where is he oh he just started working only then everybody is like what


oh ya ya I remember, so, err actually


err, I saw some interesting questions on the internet recently right that I wanted to ask you ah, so <mandarin>如果你有三个愿望:ru guo ni you san ge yuan wang</mandarin> right why would you actually wish for


for me okay so I think everybody knows about the the cheat right which is to wish for more wishes, err but, for me personally I think the first wish right is to, actually err wish for good health ah so I can enjoy myself longer because err as you said lah like now


err, in singapore quite stress so don't want to neglect your health as well so I think that's why, err <mandarin>第一个愿望应该是身体健康:di yi ge yuan wang ying gai shi shen ti jian kang</mandarin> I guess, ya so, so what is your second wish


ah you so I'm going to one up you and say that my second wish is to get a <mandarin>老婆:lao po</mandarin> ah because I'm also single right now so I'm actually also looking for a <mandarin>女朋友:nv peng you</mandarin> and then hopefully can upgrade it upgrade to <mandarin>老婆:lao po</mandarin> I guess so I err my


workplace most of them are actually sadly attached already ah so must go and look elsewhere how about your workplace is there a lot of females over there


yes I think you should definitely keep an eye out err ya so I think my third wish right is actually err to wish for, more time, ya because I think right now err, really quite busy with work so if have like


have a bit more time in the day maybe like instead of twenty four hours we got thirty hours, then we can spend more time sleeping spend more time doing err things that we like ah other than work right


ya I think that is true ah <mandarin>因为时间真的是很是宝贵的:yin wei shi jian zhen de shi hen shi bao gui de</mandarin> lah and I think, more so didn't you notice that we graduated err, quite some time back ago is not really, very recent also it's like we graduated in may right


and now is already october so it's been five months since we graduated slash started work ah right


yes yes I think they all have landed err excellent jobs, err even this the henry that we know is quite lazy right and surprisingly managed to get quite a good job right


ya I remember that time when he was doing his err watch err start up that time right he was still quite lazy but not as lazy as when he was in army ah but now really he quite err hardworking already but I think if I'm not wrong because he's a developer right right he's working from home as well right are you working from home


ya !wah! ah <mandarin>我是:wo shi</mandarin> but mine is err <mandarin>我是自愿的:wo shi zi yuan de</mandarin> lah so if let's say err this week err usually need to go about fifty percent of the time so


err <mandarin>每个礼拜是两到三天会去:mei ge li bai shi liang dao san tian hui qu</mandarin> office then <mandarin>其他天就是在家:qi ta tian jiu shi zai jia</mandarin> err work from home so I think work from home, really err like the part where no need to travel but then very hard to ask people to for stuff as well lah like to teach me


ya I think that is the benefit of working from home but then again right when you work from home then the lines between err, work and, err home blurs ah so you really don't feel the end of your work is like you will keep working till quite late


ya and then I think that is another point that, err if you work for office once you leave the office then it's the end of the day but, if you work from home right, you don't know when you can close your laptop because everybody knows you work from home


yes yes I think, ya but I think I know some err some of our friends like henry has been working from home since the start it will be quite surprised to see how he handles going to work err when his bosses asked him to err do you remember where is his workplace ah


yes yes !wah! then every day his travelling time should be one hour plus really ah !wah! I really hope he got download some games in his phone to play


ya but you cannot expect it to continue forever right because err you still have to meet your colleagues err and like I think you need some interaction time in terms of like lunch and et cetera I think that's to, we will have more good working relationships ah because when you work from home I think the other problem is that you don't see the people you just see a name on the computer like the most is the messaging app on the like Skype and microsoft Skype for business so quite hard to put a face


and have the relationship when you're talking to like a, like a text message ah like you're texting like that


ya I think, that that is true ah ya and do you know, err right now, err there is this err remember we got also like some SkillsFuture


err, credits right the government give us to help err improve ourself and, maybe we can use that as an opportunity to, go for an outing or something because err this type of training usually they got lunch provided et cetera


ya I think that's true I think we should definitely invite that henry along because he's doing in the IT sector so he should be quite, he can be our on the on the spot mentor as well other than the lecturer


ya maybe we should go and look into the SkillsFuture website right do you know if the rest also have SkillsFuture credits, err I mean like err the our normal hang out guys ah


tommy henry and err jacky right


ah I see I see may ya I think we should go and tell them soon ah ya I think it was a, err it was quite good ya to talk about this as well because err I think last time we because we always studying we never think about this err learning right err so err we never think so hard about learning because we are learning all the time but now you're working right then learning takes a side step right


err what do you think


I see I see actually ya learning is actually now right now right I'm actually learning err err at night so at night I try to read a few articles here and there, have to catch up because I think part of my job is also learning about the recent news trends like


the presidential election in the US et cetera, ah so you anyway who do you think this presidential election confirm a lot of people talk about it right, you think is trump or biden


ya ya I remember this trump hor <mandarin>每次跟那个中国打架的:mei ci gen na ge zhong guo da jia de</mandarin> right always err say the president xi very bad leh <mandarin>习近平:xi jin ping</mandarin> ah then I think he's quite aggressive one right I think ya but I think biden also is a he's quite a old school politician so


maybe he also be tough on china we will see ah <mandarin>因为现在中国:yin wei xian zai zhong guo</mandarin> ah really is getting more and more powerful ah as you see how they recover from the virus as well


ya <mandarin>我们也是华人:wo men ye shi hua ren</mandarin> but <mandarin>我们的祖先很久以前是也是从中国来的:wo men de zu xian hen jiu yi qian shi ye shi cong zhong guo lai de</mandarin> but we have err adapted well to singapore's culture and learn new err speaking


I see I see I think this is how we err we wanted to help with this err project for err this speak in singlish project right where they are trying to err use <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> err <mandarin>新加坡语:xin jia po yu</mandarin> right <mandarin>来:lai</mandarin> err develop a AI to recognise our voices


ya we don't have a sorry ya so we don't we also don't have like our own like natural language I like the china got the chinese then err england or UK got english ya so it's good that we have this err singlish I guess so hopefully the voice recognition technologies next time can recognise such things


!hey! benjamin, today ah my work ended at around err seven PM lah because had to do OT


true true true, so I actually I also had OT today lah I ended at seven ah !wah! quite stressful leh because


err <mandarin>怎么讲呢:zen me jiang ne</mandarin> err err, the boss ah suddenly came to me with a lot of work then a lot of things I also don't know how to do lah, correct


ya lah but on job training, also must got some <mandarin>限度:xian du</mandarin> one right like, err there must be a limit to how much OJT then err must pace properly, you know what I mean right


oh so looks like you have a pretty good <mandarin>关系:guan xi</mandarin> with them ah


but thirty plus because we right now we twenty five right then don't have like those kind of <mandarin>代沟:dai gou</mandarin> or some generation gap like that meh, still got things to talk about


oh I see I see so for my side right because our team is actually quite diverse ah we got like <mandarin>二十多岁三十多岁四十多岁:er shi duo sui san shi duo sui si shi duo sui</mandarin> so err right now because my my office has this segregation ah so I mean this area where the like the <mandarin>三十多岁四十多岁:san shi duo sui si shi duo sui</mandarin> where where they gathered at lah so sometimes I feel a bit like distanced from them ah like the difference in language difference in mindset as well because err like <mandarin>二十多岁:er shi duo sui</mandarin> right it's actually segregated in the other zone


so that's that's how I feel lah sometimes


true lah true lah like this those like forty plus people like you say got like different <mandarin>概念:gai nian</mandarin> ah different way of living a different way of thinking as well so ya sometimes a bit hard to connect to them lah especially when your boss is also belonging to that kind of <mandarin>年代:nian dai</mandarin> like that


ya my side actually so far so good lah the people all very <mandarin>很好:hen hao</mandarin> lah actually err very <mandarin>友善:you shan</mandarin> then they also very willing to teach me new stuff then anything I don't know they all like slowly teach me slowly guide me


so I think quite nice ah quite nice ah the culture quite nice ah the the company


correct, ya they want us to take on a second job right they that's what the government said


correct right now also because of the COVID situation ah so some people, quite difficult ah facing quite difficult times like facing the threat of err unemployment so I think it's better to have like a different kind of job as well


oh because for my degree right because it's chemical engineering right so err it's actually quite a versatile degree ah so I think <mandarin>大部分:da bu fen</mandarin> hor <mandarin>我们都都是找到了工作:wo men dou dou shi zhao dao le gong zuo</mandarin> lah only a few I think err <mandarin>不是很多:bu shi hen duo</mandarin> lah a few still trying to trying their best to to to search for jobs


at least that's what I I I hear from my <mandarin>朋友:peng you</mandarin> lah my friends


!wah! that's actually , even because you know our our previous


training our camp got push push err push backwards got postpone it was actually initially err, for <mandarin>六月:liu yue</mandarin> right actually so, think right now we don't even know when when is happening ah but I think, the situation is getting better and I think maybe next year june I would say


that's when we will meet up again ah


exemption what is that I don't I don't go for exemptions I'm actually trying my best to err, that's what I'm trying to do lah but a bit difficult lah because because of work then everytime come back hor a bit err


tired, then morning also difficult to wake up, but that's what I'm trying to aim for lah to to train in the morning


ya lor then <mandarin>每次:mei ci</mandarin> hor <mandarin>都是做完工:dou shi zuo wan gong</mandarin> hor then <mandarin>回到家:hui dao jia</mandarin> hor <mandarin>已经:yi jing</mandarin> like, so err I think it's really difficult lah, I am not sure about you I think you feel the same way as me lah especially since you have been relaxing for the past few months before we actually got our job


oh actually hor <mandarin>其实:qi shi</mandarin> hor <mandarin>我没有去过:wo mei you qu guo</mandarin> Haidilao eh, err is it actually that that nice or not as what people say, like <mandarin>我的朋友:wo de peng you</mandarin> hor <mandarin>他们讲:ta men jiang</mandarin> hor <mandarin>很好吃很好吃:hen hao chi hen hao chi</mandarin> but I personally never try before lah so actually can give me your honest opinion ah


!wah! <mandarin>他们的服务那么好:ta men de fu wu na me hao</mandarin> I better go next time I think maybe we can try that for our next outing like maybe <mandarin>下个星期六:xia ge xing qi liu</mandarin> or something like that, if you are free ah because because err my company right they actually have discount for Haidilao ah so maybe you can try to enjoy that discount as well


correct correct <mandarin>我们刚好五个人:wo men gang hao wu ge ren</mandarin> hor then just nice hor just can can go for the Haidilao ah, so maybe if <mandarin>我们要订位:wo men yao ding wei</mandarin> hor


we ask the rest first lor then see how, !wah! this weekend ah don't don't talk about this weekend because last weekend I also OT ah so this weekend might actually have to to OT again lah hopefully not lah but if don't have OT I think I will just


just rest at home <mandarin>玩电脑玩游戏:wan dian nao wan you xi</mandarin> just err <mandarin>躺在床上:tang zai chuang shang</mandarin> then <mandarin>看手机这样:kan shou ji zhe yang</mandarin> lor, that's my how I usually spend my weekends ah


I thought this type of clubs in in the school <mandarin>不是免税:bu shi mian shui</mandarin> meh like don't have to don't have to file for tax oh I didn't know have to actually, pay for tax eh


oh <mandarin>所以你因为你们没有赚钱啦所以:suo yi ni yin wei ni men mei you zhuan qian la suo yi</mandarin> no need to pay tax ah, is that what you mean, oh okay but still have to have to sort of do some some form of declaration lah


like you know those K pop err not not K pop I mean korean korean things ah because I actually <mandarin>我喜欢我喜欢那种那个:wo xi huan wo xi huan na zhong na ge</mandarin> K pop K drama those kind of things


so err <mandarin>最近我在:zui jin wo zai</mandarin> err, diligently actually studying for korean ah to prepare for the proficiency test ah


ya I think you should have err just constantly <mandarin>复习:fu xi</mandarin> lah because this type of thing ah language this kind of thing ah


so err your for your test I think it's better for you to quickly quickly go, go go for it lah before you actually forget


eh actually before before <mandarin>找到工作的时候:zhao dao gong zuo de shi hou</mandarin> actually I've been learning learning a bit of coding on my own lah, but to actually be be err appointed this coding rep ah is somewhat intimidating lah so not sure whether I'm up for it lah but


I will definitely try my best ah so err after work, right now I have to probably, go and revise what I've learnt over over the year, and try to err ya get get good at it lah before, I'm actually being appointed this rep ah


so do you know any coding yourself


you work in a business related industry right so, do you actually need to use all this type of programming skills or whatnot


oh I see I see, actually we have a friend who is very proficient in coding right his name is louis right so maybe err if we are not sure we can look for him ah look for louis


correct correct I think, actually kind of <mandarin>羡慕他:xian mu ta</mandarin> lah because, I think coding right now is in a skill in demand so I think being, being good at coding is is it's valuable lah in this in this age ah, correct a lot of projects I think recently he did one on COVID nineteen to track the number of use err the number of cases every day and he was actually recognised by a certain certain company ah certain companies for his efforts ah


ya he said it's supposed to help you for remember just now we mention the IPPT right ya so actually it's supposed to help us, err get gold for IPPT but right now I think the watch is still in development ah not yet out yet, I think we can check with louis on this ah to ask him to expedite expedite this watch lah so we can


go for gold for IPPT


okay lah actually honestly <mandarin>我们两个都知道:wo men liang ge dou zhi dao</mandarin> louis that kind of person, he's rather the <mandarin>懒惰:lan duo</mandarin> side lah you know quite quite slack so, I think that's what that's one of the reasons why the watch didn't actually come out into the market


ya <mandarin>对对对:dui dui dui</mandarin> correct because err


, that louis ah, ya


ya lor ya lor no wonder hor <mandarin>难怪:nan guai</mandarin> hor <mandarin>我们的我们的:wo men de wo men de</mandarin> facilities hor <mandarin>这么:zhe me</mandarin> Cui ah


you know we have louis to <mandarin>责怪:ze guai</mandarin> lah he's he's to blame ah for for our , for our very difficult times during army back then


ya lor, are they still together <mandarin>他跟他的女朋友:ta gen ta de nv peng you</mandarin> do you know, oh I see I see henry and L is it I let me check it out ah have you actually


ordered from them before


ya lor err especially for this type of <mandarin>做蛋糕的那些店:zuo dan gao de na xie dian</mandarin> hor, very hard to <mandarin>维持:wei chi</mandarin> for for so long I think really need the hard work and dedication, from henry ah to, to make make it successful ah


oh actually I still remember he got angry at me ah because I told him his macaroons were were too sweet for me lah then he say oh macaroons are supposed to be sweet one so err so !wah! that day he got pretty angry at me lah so I was pretty scared of him on that day


jason ah ya I think oh I know it's a bank ah but, but I think ya


ya lah should be ah anyway I think during his school days he was, pretty err doing quite well getting good grades and going for all those presentations and err award ceremonies ah so, he is probably earning


oh Kiran ah that guy ya ya ya ya I think, the last I saw him hor he was studying law in NUS I'm not sure what happened to him now


oh true that ah true true true, because err oh ya because he's one year our junior so, ya we just started our jobs ah so he's probably in his no law is <mandarin>四年还是五年:si nian hai shi wu nian</mandarin> ah, do you know


oh I see I see ya I think my neighbour also actually is also actually a lawyer but he nearly , he nearly quit the he nearly actually change to another degree ah because law was too tough for him ah but good for him ah he managed to pull through in the end


oh no no no there's a different neighbour lah this neighbour is lives directly opposite me ah the one that err is in the in the committee is the one living next to me ah, we don't get, along too well ah to be honest


we didn't we didn't actually resolve it properly ah so right now we are still on bad terms ah


jacky ya ya correct correct the one who always go for those , contest lucky draw, it's almost becoming a full time job for him


correct correct he has taken this type of contest to the next level so I think, probably you know <mandarin>他贴那那些:ta tie na na xie</mandarin> err <mandarin>那些:na xie</mandarin> forms <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> hor he can put his occupation as a full time contest winner or something like that lah


ya he always asked me to share his postings as well on err on my own Facebook account, I think he'll I think he has earned quite, a fair bit of amount of money from from this hustle right


ya I actually told one of my friends before ah like this this friend of mine jacky is a, he does nothing except winning contest ah so he couldn't believe me until, I showed him his err jacky's Carousell account then he actually started to believe me lah because the stuff he sells there right


err normally you won't buy them ah except, you actually win them from contest themselves


treadmill !wah! this type of thing hor <mandarin>很难:hen nan</mandarin> to <mandarin>很难:hen nan</mandarin> sell lah this kind of thing so probably still in the in the warehouse ah I think he probably hasn't collected yet


correct correct I think he should <mandarin>杀价:sha jia</mandarin> a bit lah so others can, buy err especially now you know business are bad ah COVID then difficult to sell things ah then, because of COVID as well there are there are I think less less contest less less of this kind of lucky draw so I think jacky right now he's also a swabber or something like that for COVID


actually come to think about it ah maybe not as a swabber but more of like a admin ops kind of thing ah where, where err he he he gets called like from time to time to go down to this err, to these sites where they welcome


err the those err, visitors the stay at home notice those those that are required to be put in quarantine to err to the hotels and, and things like that lah so he's actually the the guy in charge of the admin ops for that site itself


then they say I think the gathering is limited to only eight people I was actually expecting more you know


phase three ah so I think they allow err for for ceremonies like


for events like weddings or events for religious services I think they are, increasing the maximum capacity as well, but the thing the thing that I miss the most pre-COVID from pre-COVID is karaoke I think right now these outlets are they are not permitted to open yet lah


karaoke probably not lah but come to think about it if if it's open right then can you imagine yourself wearing the mask and


and singing karaoke you'll be kind of err <mandarin>尴尬:gan ga</mandarin> a bit awkward lah don't you think


I was actually , I wanted to go to korea for my grad trip lah but, err right now I think it's a bit difficult lah especially when we just started our jobs then


so I think probably supervisor won't let then err ya and COVID as well lah I think I'd rather not risk my health for it, to travel I'll wait until the situation <mandarin>稳定下来:wen ding xia lai</mandarin> then err go for travel this type of things ah


let me think I was actually quite close to him but suddenly I couldn't remember his name


ya the guy another pattern ah similar to err henry ah the the guy was quite quite <mandarin>懒惰:lan duo</mandarin> that kind that kind of character, quite similar no wonder they are, both err quite good friends now


tommy I think <mandarin>他最近:ta zui jin</mandarin> hor <mandarin>找到工作:zhao dao gong zuo</mandarin> is err in a, IT related field if I'm not wrong is err HP ah you know the ones that sell <mandarin>那些电脑:na xie dian nao</mandarin> sell printer those kind of that kind of company HP


ya lah we go and when we want to buy computers ah we just go and disturb him ah kacau him ask him for for Lobang ah, since he is known to be a Lobang king as well


correct correct although, you know you know you got hear the chinese saying before <mandarin>近朱者赤近墨者黑:jin zhu zhe chi jin mo zhe hei</mandarin> right I think both of them hor they, they influence each other negatively ah that's why, after knowing each other lah they they got even more <mandarin>懒惰:lan duo</mandarin> and more slack ah


oh POL stands for err petrol oil lubricant correct, so he has to <mandarin>打油:da you</mandarin> for all those tanks ah you know because our our battalion deals with tanks then you have to <mandarin>打油:da you</mandarin> for tanks


ya correct I think the last two training were pretty <mandarin>短:duan</mandarin> ah like err pretty low key they were low key events so I think we went we only went for refresher ah, we didn't go outfield or things like that so I think the next the next err ICT


there will be the training tempo will increase lah definitely


true lah like some kind of , resort lah holiday resort that's what people say that army camp is good for this kind of training to escape your <mandarin>上司:shang si</mandarin> escape your colleagues, then just go man mood for awhile


ya lah the tommy that tommy younger brother I think this year, so err do you know his name is it timmy his name


correct I think their <mandarin>他们的华文名字:ta men de hua wen ming zi</mandarin> hor <mandarin>很难:hen nan</mandarin> pronounce ah so I think we just stuck to their english names ah, I think maybe it's not, it's not even their their official english names I think we name them tommy and timmy ah, it's a nickname


correct correct, !wah! but !wah! the age gap hor don't you think it's a bit, big ah so don't you think there's also like another generation gap like <mandarin>代沟:dai gou</mandarin> between the between the timmy and tommy


correct correct and later maybe mistake, timmy other people might mistake tommy for for being timmy's father or something like that


oh the classic classic way of answering this question is do wish for more wishes isn't it but to be maybe more serious ah, one wish I wished for, I think it's to actually, do what I like ah I won't say that I'm actually like currently liking my job is a bit too stressful for me


I want to err live a simpler live a simpler but happier life ah I think that's that will be my first wish ah, how about you


ya lor <mandarin>身体健:shen ti jian</mandarin> err correct, my second wish ah, cause you know lah everyone knows that I'm currently <mandarin>单身:dan shen</mandarin> lah so probably my second wish is to get a to get a <mandarin>女朋友:nv peng you</mandarin> lah so I don't feel so <mandarin>寂寞:ji mo</mandarin> don't feel so lonely at home


err no nothing to look forward to at the end of the work day


I think my workplace because you as you know it's a engineering err engineering industry so the gender ratio is a bit more skewed towards the the guys side lah but there are definitely more quite quite err some of them, some of the females there actually quite, pretty lah so


ya I'm actually keeping an eye out for them


ya correct I think my third wish will be the will be the same as you ah, I think time is, you never know you never knew how precious time is until, you you go out to work lah because at the end of err after working for one whole day you come back home, you realise you don't have much time to yourself to do whatever you like to


to learn learn something new to to engage in your hobbies so I think time, nowadays is really difficult to get eh, and it's really valuable so is my final wish as well


then we were still very , stressed about whether we will actually get the job, things like that but I think right now all is good ah all of us all of our friends timmy eh not timmy tommy henry


jason all, I think quite quite in landed quite comfortable jobs ah so I think that's very good for us lah


ya correct I think, he's quite a changed person ah in my opinion, like from from from army days to now if you compare both both times


err sadly no ah <mandarin>我每天需要去上班:wo mei tian xu yao qu shang ban</mandarin> ah <mandarin>去到:qu dao</mandarin> woodlands <mandarin>上班:shang ban</mandarin> ah !wah! <mandarin>很远:hen yuan</mandarin> leh


ya lah true lah but <mandarin>我我很羡慕你:wo wo hen xian mu ni</mandarin> lah I prefer definitely prefer working from home than than going to work everyday lah, like you have the comfort of your own home to do your things at your own pace, then whenever you feel like it can just


ya correct so you can be already like army like that ah activated at anytime, then your working hours become blurred ah like what you said


right


I think he himself is hoping that err the work from home won't and actually


ya correct at the end of the day I think this type of working relationship, require I think some form of human touch, so I think err then the relationships can be more err genuine then you actually can collaborate better to to achieve a more productive results ah


that's how I feel


ya then err I think it's also good for our career as well ah if I'm not wrong they give us like err one thousand dollars so maybe we can go for something useful like err learning a learning programming like like python so that we, can err upgrade ourselves and be more err


be more ready for the err career of the future lah


by rest you mean like the other courses or, or, oh, ya I think every one of us is entitled to one thousand dollars so


I think they had they they haven't used these credits ya because you know they're all so lazy so <mandarin>懒惰:lan duo</mandarin> they won't bother to use these credits I don't think they actually know the existence of these credits as well until, we until we tell them lah


ya correct I think right now we are, so engaged in our jobs that we, we forsake we forgo actually learning new skills like learning a new language learning, learning learning anything lah actually we are more like just grinding grinding at work


without learning anything I think learning is should be a lifelong journey ah we should continue to upgrade ourselves, so that err we are more prepared for the future


say is I would say it's biden lah personally I'm hoping for biden lah because trump is everyone thinks he's a is a clown lah he's a joke he runs the country like, like how he runs a business lah so it's not the right approach to run a, to run a country that way ah in my opinion


correct I think any country ah should be on the good side of china if they want to survive in this world lah because at the end of day china is the, is the world number one country lah in terms of its economy, if if it's not world number one is world number two lah to to america but ya definitely has to be on the good side of china to to prosper in this global landscape


ya this is due to the because of like influence from other like <mandarin>语言:yu yan</mandarin> like like malay tamil then


with the singlish as well so our brand of chinese is somewhat different from, err that of the that of china but I think, as long as we can communicate with them we can interact with them ah then we, actually have some form of advantage over our western counterparts ah


ya I think it's a it's a good initiative lah by by this err, part of err it's actually our official <mandarin>语言:yu yan</mandarin> ah


ya if you see it from a certain perspective so I think this type of projects are really good lah for for the country, and it's also fun ya


record already okay now can put back earpiece, okay so now we will we continue to speak lor, so now is uh nine


what what time ah your your side is what time now, your side now is what time, okay so

, oh


that means <mandarin>你你你你你的进口货是:ni ni ni ni ni de jin kou huo shi</mandarin> from china lah


oh


, but <mandarin>你你知道这个是:ni ni zhi dao zhe ge shi</mandarin> one time <mandarin>而已是吗还是还有还会有:er yi shi ma hai shi hai you hai hui you</mandarin> other other other extra


, , okay that means our this one is just a trial only lah got money or not


, , can can can, then then , nowadays ah nowadays I seldom go lah I usually only go


Decathlon Decathlon ah, that one called Decathlon ah, Decathlon ah, Decathlon is quite cheap leh, cause my my place down there nearby got one Decathlon I find the thing quite cheap


I think I think now can speak english already we exceed more than twelve minutes already right, I think we can start to to talk in english already, then, then later we can talk in chinese again lah


ah you, because she she say like at least fifty percent must be I think in english leh


, , ya lah, , because I check with her I check with her she say minimum must have twelve minutes chinese lah


then the rest english lor, ya lah then in between we can can speak a little more chinese again lah, so you will free up one one hour time lah


so now now we only up to how many minutes twenty minutes lah, nineteen minutes ah like like still half an hour ah


I okay see I I usually this year I hardly go shopping already of course this year because of COVID ah, I stay at home most of the time lah seldom go out already, so I only shop online lor I shop Lazada, uh uh this one ah what ah


Shopee all these ah ya, because that time during april time I cannot go out, because Mustafa there, around here the Mustafa lah #Sim Lim# Square lah all closed mah cannot buy thing mah, so I I need to think so I Bo Pian I go online to buy I go Lazada to buy


then what happen is that they sent me the products ah also spoil, !hanna!, cannot lah then refund lor, but waste waste a lot of time lor waste waste me about three weeks like this


ya three weeks lor then by the time refund another one two weeks !wah! almost like one month gone already, Shopee also have but Shopee mostly only for clothing is cheaper lah


I find, oh because I find like Shopee the item not many ah


why because cheaper ah, actually actually Lazada also can but I don't I don't really know how to use the coin to redeem


, to buy ah, ,


so that means you buy, that means you you you go and buy from Shopee then you sell is Lazada, Taobao lah


but then a lot of people also can buy from Taobao then what's the difference, oh, okay because if people can buy direct from Taobao then what for they buy from


from uh like those uh more expensive one like Lazada or Shopee, , ,


a bit more lah a bit more lah because of the I think, when you add up together lah when add together is more expensive, ,


, , for me I can read chinese lah but then I I I I haven't buy from Taobao lah don't know lah because I find have to convert the currency ah a bit #leh chey#


but so far you buy from Taobao, quite reliable or not


because some of the items can be fake right from Taobao, AliExpress I bought one time lah


I don't know but there was the first time I buy lah quite quite long time I think a few years back, then after that I I never use AliExpress already, because the support is not so good lah support


ah,


ya usually Carousell is not first hand ah, usually for, but Carousell sometimes, got singapore shop sell in Carousell leh


ya because I think, I think a lot of scam in Carousell lah


, but one thing I don't like the the the Carousell is that you must you must uh how to say a bargain price with the with the with the seller right


no because sometimes I see them like they ask you how much you want, that's why I find very very puzzled leh how come they, then I ask you how much you want


, ya because that time I first time I went to Carousell because circuit breaker mah, so cannot wait must so must buy immediately already, then I I ask a few user all never reply you know


because a few of them they army guy they go and do Carousell then they say they are in camp cannot answer, then then then got one user also never reply until two to three days later then then asked me do you want or not,


ya that's why, ah, !huh!


ya, ,


ya because I think, the the, people now all go to Shopee and Lazada lah that's why lah


, but from what I heard from people who buy from Carousell is that they need the thing urgently lah then you go to Carousell


so you you one month, can make at least more than one K lah


, , so why you use Facebook marketplace


, , that means you you you market your product inside there ah


, so that means you let's say you want to sell something in the Facebook market ah


let's say a book lah let's say you want to sell a book so you just talk and say this book how much they straight away got people say want to buy, , then how they pay you how they pay you


oh but then but then not not, not very secure eh you tell your telephone number


so that makes you you you you you you speak on the marketplace platform the your telephone number lah, that means you will you, that means you you send by


you send by message ah, oh the the private massage lah


but then if you do all these stuff do you find like sometime people, suddenly you not free and then people have some order then you must go and buy buy this, to send a bit #leh chey# right sometime
