ya actually because, I feel like it's not <mandarin>环保:huan bao</mandarin> lah because <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> surgical right, you just wear and you throw, [orh] okay you see ah the government, give us like resuable reusable mask like three times already mah


yeah okay whatever lah, anyway it's like


already three times mah so even if you wear and then you wash right, and then you switch right, is enough mah so I don't need like, seven masks , yeah lor


oh, !wow!, you actually follow this thing


, ya actually, actually, yeah actually this mask right is like out of all the mask masks that they gave


it's my favourite lah, because okay the others like, but then this white one is good, some more got a lot of colours right


oh, wire


yeah I guess, but, err wait, actually because this one right <mandarin>是我妈妈去那个:shi wo ma ma qu na ge</mandarin> CC collect, eh she says like from the vending machine is it


!wah!, oh


okay, so, what else can we talk about


one box, !wah!, but now is still, but now okay okay during corona during corona ah as in when COVID started right


I think <mandarin>因为有:yin wei you</mandarin> supply Liao so it's back to like normal right I think, if you go to Watson, I think is like, okay lah it's not very cheap lah but is still affordable lor not like you know some people sell like


one box, ,


, I I I okay I don't know <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> percentage but like, err <mandarin>我只是我只是记得:wo zhi shi wo zhi shi ji de</mandarin> lah, they just yeah, guessing


, okay lah I mean how to say actually a lot of things from China anyway, but then, , the masks should be safe lah I mean actually if it's like official actually Shopee I don't know lah but then normal


website should be okay lah, okay <mandarin>那个不是说:na ge bu shi shuo</mandarin> virus <mandarin>问题:wen ti</mandarin> but then <mandarin>可能:ke neng</mandarin> quality <mandarin>问题:wen ti</mandarin> Liao, yeah,

instead of like just eating I know it doesn't really make sense lah, but like because by right surgical masks


like <mandarin>有什么:you shen me</mandarin> three ply like that kind of whatever technology maybe they don't even have a technology behind it, but then, yeah lor


Dettol ah soap hand sanitiser,


, like


so, but I think some vietnamese brand ah yeah then also quite nice mah so forty cent yeah lah or snacks lor M&M this kind


but then so, normally I just buy


like <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> difference right, so actually maybe <mandarin>真的是:zhen de shi</mandarin> there's some kind of, how to say, yeah lor, maybe they are made in different places eh, you know sometimes you see the bank back


maybe, where is manufactured from is different also


, actually they sell a lot of those like

but then <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> cheese right for for the cake


so <mandarin>我上面:wo shang mian</mandarin> err <mandarin>上面那个:shang mian na ge</mandarin> liquid <mandarin>就是我就放:jiu shi wo jiu fang</mandarin> cheese <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> butter


right, no that's the sponge cake sponge cake like fluffy fluffy that, that cake


it's like normal cake, ya <mandarin>只是上面有那个:zhi shi shang mian you na ge</mandarin> cheese <mandarin>而已:er yi</mandarin> but <mandarin>它里面就没有:ta li mian jiu mei you</mandarin> cheese


err actually, hor my, my friend actually bought for me leh , actually actually my colleague my colleague bought for me


because you know why, she's the one who want to bake in my house, okay okay funny thing is that right because my colleague is, malaysian and she cannot go back to her


then okay lor <mandarin>就给他一个:jiu gei ta yi ge</mandarin> room lor, then after that err because


so <mandarin>他自己是自己学:ta zi ji shi zi ji xue</mandarin> baking, then <mandarin>然后:ran hou</mandarin> I think <mandarin>他很想:ta hen xiang</mandarin> baking until she go and go Giant buy oven leh


and place it at my house, ya very funny right, you are actually she got say


, but then hor, ideas to start lah so


actually what started my baking interest is, during my I think, primary school, primary school, or is it secondary school, okay, yeah somewhere during my


err younger days, I think it was food nutrition


I don't know how the oven, managed to be there, yeah so


I'm actually grateful lah because


very nice , yes actually got add honey, but then


normal <mandarin>糖:tang</mandarin> lor sugar, ah yeah <mandarin>很好吃不是那种外面:hen hao chi bu shi na zhong wai mian</mandarin> typical cheesecake lah <mandarin>我我讲真的我不喜欢吃:wo wo jiang zhen de wo bu xi huan chi</mandarin> cheesecake, but then <mandarin>我喜欢自己的那个:wo xi huan zi ji de na ge</mandarin> secret recipe


ah

, yeah, yeah, ah


oh, , Tampines yes, ya east east


, ah


ya I have been, spending money on like you know err, disinfectant sprays for the COVID thing, then I neglected like the


!hannor! although <mandarin>那个那个号码很美这样但是:na ge na ge hao ma hen mei zhe yang dan shi</mandarin> !wah!, new year new me <mandarin>是骗人的:shi pian ren de</mandarin> lor


during <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> COVID uh breakdown eh circuit breaker ah, especially <mandarin>那个很像:na ge hen xiang</mandarin> phase one <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> phase two


!walao! <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> whole life affected lor, I cannot live without bubble tea one leh


day, then you times three


that's like twelve dollars per week, so <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> twelve times four, four weeks is like forty eight dollars, per month, but okay lah <mandarin>有好有坏:you hao you huai</mandarin> lah


then the only shopping mall we can go is the supermarket


like work outside <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> right no time for family, bonding and all that, okay lah actually it applies to different sectors, because retail okay retail <mandarin>会关:hui guan</mandarin> what does <mandarin>只是:zhi shi</mandarin> F&B <mandarin>要继续做工:yao ji xu zuo gong</mandarin> so it depends lah


janitors uh waiter, cashier I think


I think, I fall, none of that I'm not an essential worker so, but you are essential right


, , , yeah


okay okay, okay I think, I think it's because right , okay personally I'm a introvert so I actually enjoy staying at home, but then I think it will be, hard for extrovert lah because I think


they need err I think physical aspect of things like, instead of like zooming one another, they prefer, like <mandarin>面对面讲话:mian dui mian jiang hua</mandarin> like in real life


like <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> meet up with friends, enjoyable , if not <mandarin>你很:ni hen</mandarin> bored then it's like uh you feel something is


missing, (uh huh)


okay a bit mixed ah ambivert <mandarin>是吗:shi ma</mandarin> , be alone <mandarin>但是有时你要:dan shi you shi ni yao</mandarin> like spend time with <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> friends, like you need your personal time also


ah,


really, oh then change, okay


okay, then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> actually <mandarin>你有你有去拿那个:ni you ni you qu na na ge</mandarin> national day funpack Liao <mandarin>吗:ma</mandarin> !huh!


err <mandarin>里面有那个:li mian you na ge</mandarin> thermometer


it's a heart shape biscuit


[orh] thermometer, booklet


then, but then hor, the voucher


so actually do you know what the voucher use for, uh actually I don't know the detailed one lah I think, , okay is something like the community club thing


then okay it's like you, get the edusave, bursary like in, during school like polytechnic days, some of the bursary actually come from like, the the CDC


like the CDC funds ah something like that, is from the government lah but then I think the, the CC will control it, okay lah so the voucher right the voucher cost like fifty dollars


and they give every household one lah, then hor the voucher at first hor I thought is for, I thought it's for NTUC leh or like saying Sheng Siong, or like what CapitaLand then you know what I get or not


it's actually for, hawker centre eh , no it's like uh hawker centre near your area, like the booklet is comes in like two dollars two dollars in a set


a group of two dollars inside, so they give you they actually provide you with a list of hawker centre around your area to use, the voucher, but then I look through the list right


there's only one store which is near my house the rest I don't know where, so I was thinking maybe I should sell it


okay <mandarin>你要有吃那些:ni yao you chi nei xie</mandarin> hawker food lah, ah


ah


<mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor


ah, oh ya ya <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> masks hor <mandarin>忘记:wang ji</mandarin> I forget to mention that lor


oh, , okay <mandarin>我拿我拿你的:wo na wo na ni de</mandarin> IC <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> actually <mandarin>不用:bu yong</mandarin> actually <mandarin>可以直接写别人的:ke yi zhi jie xie bie ren de</mandarin> IC <mandarin>去拿的:qu na de</mandarin> leh


oh <mandarin>没有没有他有打电话给我姐姐叫那个人:mei you mei you ta you da dian hua gei wo jie jie jiao na ge ren</mandarin> like pass to <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> person in charge


then <mandarin>就可以:jiu ke yi</mandarin> ah, eh wait <mandarin>是拿:shi na</mandarin> IC <mandarin>然后我姐姐的人不在:ran hou wo jie jie de ren bu zai</mandarin> but then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> phone


okay, but <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> three ply, ah okay


err but then <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> actually hor <mandarin>那边有:na bian you</mandarin> instruction <mandarin>写那个:xie na ge</mandarin> reusable mask <mandarin>只可以用:zhi ke yi yong</mandarin> like <mandarin>来:lai</mandarin> up to like


I mean <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> ah <mandarin>这边有写:zhe bian you xie</mandarin> lah, so each time <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> wash right <mandarin>我会去很像去:wo hui qu hen xiang qu</mandarin> cancel <mandarin>掉那个:diao na ge</mandarin> date, so is like <mandarin>我有两个:wo you liang ge</mandarin> masks mah then <mandarin>我只是现在是用一个:wo zhi shi xian zai shi yong yi ge</mandarin> mask


then <mandarin>三第第三十天我可以丢掉:san di di san shi tian wo ke yi diu diao</mandarin> Liao, yeah, so for different mask, yeah because at first hor


I I don't think that one can prevent virus lah but it's better than nothing


but then slowly as time goes by <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> mask <mandarin>越来越有点:yue lai yue you dian</mandarin> advance lah


ah, ah


ya ya ya correct


wire


string, okay


oh <mandarin>对对对那个:dui dui dui na ge</mandarin> vending machine, ah, actually you can press any number


, , the mask


actually hor <mandarin>现在有很多:xian zai you hen duo</mandarin> mask actually hor you <mandarin>懂:dong</mandarin> before <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> pandemic start hor <mandarin>我没有错的话:wo mei you cuo de hua</mandarin> hor actually one box of mask like fifty ah is about I think, two dollar fifty cents leh, if I'm not wrong


masks are very cheap like before this pandemic happened, I remember I think it was two fifty for one box of fifty pieces surgical mask, ah <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> Watsons <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> Guardian <mandarin>忘记掉:wang ji diao</mandarin> Liao


(uh huh)


yeah, like


like <mandarin>十五到二十多块:shi wu dao er shi duo kuai</mandarin> for one, box of fifty pieces of masks, yeah


yeah lah then, then <mandarin>只可以:zhi ke yi</mandarin> Watsons <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> Guardian, to buy a, okay


oh okay, can so I, actually where on Shopee to find masks, so some is like from, most from manufacture in the, also from China


mah then, thing is like I don't know, is it safe to get from China, since I think the virus started in China first right now then I'm like I'm getting stuff from China


then is like getting masks from China, then it's a bit ironic to me lah, so I don't know whether it's the right decision sometimes like it's so scary that you cannot see the virus


okay, but then do you see like, there are many many videos circulating, on the, on the net, like how, some factories actually


err, did not, go through the procedures like the hygiene procedures, then the because, during the pandemic they are trying to, come up with a lot of masks, then I see some of the factory workers right stepping on the masks eh


then actually, the mask the packaging of the box actually send to the value shop, then is like, err value shop <mandarin>有卖那个:you mai na ge</mandarin> mask lah, so


I'm like okay I will not buy, that brand, ah


yeah yeah because err when I see the video right they step already then after that the person video down the packaging of the box, and then after that the person, went to, took a photo, of the box, selling at value shop


so actually very scary, because you don't know what the factory workers, are doing, did something to the masks or what lah then, then we just wear like as if nothing happened but actually is


maybe it's dirtier than, without having a mask on


, ah


so actually <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> try not to buy anything from value shop is it


, yeah


but then right <mandarin>我跟你讲:wo gen ni jiang</mandarin> like talking about quality, like different <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> the one that I get from value shop is


smells like, smells a bit like cockroach eh, then then the one I get from Sheng Siong right it smells so pleasant like for the same thing but then the one in value shop right has a darker tone to it then the Sheng Siong one


is more lighter, can see through, so I think they really maybe short change some, some things inside the, the product then they sell quite cheap lah


ah Dettol, err no you know the solution the disinfectant solution, you know, yeah like really smell like cockroach I don't know why, like very got this smelly smell but then usually I would buy err


chips lah, chips or snacks from, value shop lah, yeah


ah, , yes


yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah


yeah, but then I thought it won't wouldn't, err have so much difference because it's like the same product, yeah but I can go and check ah, I will check later, yeah


yeah lor the smell damn bad eh I don't know is it worse or bad, err, I will I will not buy Dettol from, the value shop, again


yeah, value shop


then I see I think they're selling for one dollar <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> they sell Dove like you know the Dove bath, Dove, then it's like a new brand, but then they cut it into half


like they take fifty percent of the volume out then they sell it for one dollar, like is new but then, maybe they are trying to attract customers, to buy, for a trial period


I find it very, very weird for them to use this method eh, I saw the bottles are full of half volume then I think they're selling for like I think one dollar, Dove, I can see through


I I should have take photo, yeah, I think <mandarin>是那个:shi na ge</mandarin> bottle <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> like purple colour


something like that, but then actually <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> measure <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> volume is some estimate lah, okay <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> not fifty fifty but maybe sixty to seventy fill


selling the half bottle there are many half bottles for sale they say is new but it's like reduced so that you can use to know whether it is good or not they say is a new product lah I think


no no no err Sembawang shopping, center, yeah, yeah you go and see it's at level one


change the location, where they want to place lah that one I don't know already but then I feel very disgusted lah, I don't know why I mean for me lah, like they, they are willing to go such extent to reduce the volume and the worry at that price


and told is new but it's not aesthetically pleasing but I think definitely some people will buy lah, err there's nothing wrong with that, , so, those that really want to try Dove lah but don't want the whole thing


because quite cheap lah I mean one dollar, okay not fifty fifty but maybe, fifty percent higher than that the volume, but it's damn


I don't know, oh, okay


, yeah,


no value value shop, , yeah, no value shop <mandarin>有很多奇怪的东西:you hen duo qi guai de dong xi</mandarin> lah


like nonsense also, ,


, yeah maybe , then, you tell me whether it's still there or not, should be there lah I think it's a new product leh


last week last week I went with my sister, yeah last week, yeah, wait, I think is sunday I think last sunday


should be still there lah, I I think is purple colour one, like the bottle the cap itself is purple , it's super funny I tell you I cannot believe they will sell such item


I think you insta story,


it , (uh huh)


no maybe, no I think err okay have a lot of empty bottles then after that they got a bit, pot of body wash then they pour half to each lah, then they sell it for one dollar or two dollars I forget already I think is one dollar


, I don't know lah but I know is at a ridiculous price you can go and see a few days later when you free, super funny


!aiya! value shop everytime like such short change there short short change, here, although at very cheap price, but you can buy their potato chips cause is, still up to standard


err is it the potato chips


flavour, cracker, yeah I think


yeah yeah yeah why you got buy ah I never buy eh, ,


okay, ah


!wow!


so your profit


!wah!, ,


yeah <mandarin>我知道:wo zhi dao</mandarin> , then actually hor <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> actions reminds me of when I'm in primary school I don't know why I have a lot of key chains, then if I'm not wrong


yeah yeah I got I think I got sell to some people, like, then after that I think got people report me leh, then I think I forget already I forget what happened but I don't think in the end


got anything happen [lah], okay


k good, english and chinese but chinese must lie a must at least like finish like ten percent of the whole conversation so for like eight to ten minute must be in chinese


ya but I don't know whether that clap in the beginning is consider a clap or not like I can hear lah but but the clap doesn't really sound like a clap it was like it was like more like I don't know how to describe

Tampines takes around like one hour to reach to #choa chu kang#, it's just I don't know maybe it's not far, because like if you live like somewhere else right like for example in korea or in china right they travel like four hours of five hours to another city eh which is so cool by the way but then

control


you do know that the world is like escaping from the forest view right, like the world is becoming less forests not more forest


ya but is becoming less forest so the chances of them in a forest being being deserted is very rare lor


ya and then there's like a lot of campaign going on about saving the earth


ya but everyone ran out of jobs, ya not, ya and then the government like don't want don't want to like continue circuit breaker because like the government don't have money to pay us anymore like if they want to have CB right it's like have to have to pay singaporeans money one but then right they no money pay already that's why they don't want to initiate CB anymore


ya,

!aiya! <mandarin>反正有:fan zheng you</mandarin> meatball <mandarin>吃就可以:chi jiu ke yi</mandarin> Liao lor


if you want cheap then <mandarin>就是那种比较:jiu shi na zhong bi jiao</mandarin> Ulu <mandarin>的地方:de di fang</mandarin> lor <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> Bangkit <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> lah like #bukit panjang# that area


I also don't know but actually like <mandarin>他们讲说如果你是:ta men jiang shuo ru guo ni shi</mandarin> single right <mandarin>比较难买房子:bi jiao nan mai fang zi</mandarin> eh, ya it's better if you are married but of course you don't marry for the sake of getting a house lah


no you won't, ya, I mean like you live alone then what for do you need like a huge house


you will end up like getting tired of cleaning eh you need to clean the toilet lah give the what electrical bills lah and all mah


if you really get a house at such a young age right I'll be like so so <mandarin>佩服:pei fu</mandarin> eh


K lah twenty six twenty seven is when you just graduated from uni this considered early also what


meaning that that two years <mandarin>你会拼命的省钱:ni hui pin ming de sheng qian</mandarin> lor, , !wah! <mandarin>你这样子很很像那种:ni zhe yang zi hen hen xiang na zhong</mandarin> like <mandarin>女强人这样子:nv qiang ren zhe yang zi</mandarin> those like independent woman


I mean like your mom your mom is good to you what


then snoopy how, ya


<mandarin>它现在几岁:ta xian zai ji sui</mandarin> Liao


but <mandarin>它现在是:ta xian zai shi</mandarin> consider as adult what


, eh but I realize that <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> like recently right you and your brother like getting like closer like that, ya that's a good thing


and having a house then you can design in whatever way you like


, but when you're working are you like I think the salad place is the best working place you ever had right


then how your shift is what day shift and night shift ah, !whoa! then monday like is it busy


[orh] but what do you'll sell just salad, then your salad the vegetables got wash one or not


then you wash is what like wash like leaf by leaf like that ah, [orh] is it like compared to Liho right your salad place like need to memorize a lot of things or not


so the concept is a bit like <mandarin>九仙:jiu xian</mandarin> like that lah


now you just like have a gauge


then how do you decide to save now


are we are we having like you know they say right for this program right you will have like a instructor


ya, eh you know they say right for this project right like you must keep like talking throughout you know


and they say that you are not supposed to like play games or what, and I'm just saying just like know <mandarin>加多几个:jia duo ji ge</mandarin> sentence


!wah! it's like one third of the time already twenty minutes they say they will say this for according to the what the tech team, the technology team


then I'm like !wah! are they going to listen or are they just going to put in the computer and let it scan for the two that one hour


!wah! then if our topic is very boring then <mandarin>不是辛苦他们:bu shi xin ku ta men</mandarin> lor, !wah! some more need to like need to quickly switched between english and chinese


!wah! pure chinese ah, [orh]


I still left with three assignments and then like for our pitching video right for our project, we need to do a pitching video what


ya a pitching a pitching video, it's like a video whereby you need to showcase about your research then you need to say like oh like what is my research is all about then why are the results for other findings then what other discussions like what can be done in the future better like all these kind of things lor


ya so for mine cause mine is research mah so I just talk about my research can already then for that mary right hers is a prototype ah she need to come up with a product what, so her three minutes will be talking about the product itself and how to use lor


ya then which she start to talk right when I saw a video then she keep talking talking talking talking like wrapping like that like three times the speed that I like cannot you need to cut down on your words too much already then I cut for her lor


then for myself, !huh!, that's not like she cannot cut for herself lah but I find out but I find that her how to say ah when I watch her watch video right a lot of her sentence are like repetitive then that time I also free mah so I say eh why don't you and me the document then I just help you edit lor


ya then for the editing part I ask her what you use to edit then she say she used the app call like inshot, then I'm like then I go find then the inshot actually like not bad leh like can edit then use like different fonts and all for the letters for the alphabets


ya, the editing like take quite, quite shorter it's like shorter than the time expected need to edit I thought like those like like other youtubers like you need to edit for like


hours or days but then my one just three minutes so like one hour can edit lor, I heard that like other teachers right


for their, ya her teacher mary's teacher is very very demanding, the teacher is very demanding for mary


I think she's like I don't know I don't know is it called double standard or what but it's like her her requirement change every single time they meet, then it's like !wah! I also don't know how she how she Tahan through one lor


ya she day day complaining then day day over there like want die also cannot die like that, she's


I mean like she's the leader then she need to take care of so many staffs then she also very blur also don't know what to do


ya and I think that the FYP itself right is it's not worth of the credit points


ya you can see the difference there, like mine is nothing to do hers is a lot of things to do


so like still can handle lor, it's not that the teacher never help ah it's like the teacher keep changing her mind


so like if help like help and no help like no difference lor, ya, then recently recently like, I have tried the vegetarian food from the #bukit timah# road there that was nice like I can finally understand right when you order Mala right what is the meaning of spicy and numb leh it's a totally different thing


the numb right is !wah! legit the whole mouth cannot move at all eh like no feeling like that


it's the first time it's the first time I order also then we also didn't know that there's numbness there the option


do you know that actually like if you have a toilet right you need to pay extra tax, !aiya! when you are, everything also you to pay one lah all kinds of taxes


ya but a dorm is like a like rental thing what you need to pay after a few every few months or what


like one thousand or two thousand, I think is for a semester, ya


like since you live in singapore it's a expensive city so everything you need to pay


ya so need to have like a proper saving plan, , how like give them a a piggy bank then ask them to put all their coins inside


but recently they say that the movie theatre reopened leh, then have like what the train to Busan and all, but the train train to Busan is not the same cast that's involved in the acting


it's just talk about like those zombie, that is invading the city and all


then recently the channel eight got this chinese drama that's about like those like <mandarin>古代:gu dai</mandarin> and <mandarin>现代:xian dai</mandarin> that kind of time traveling then the comments are very extreme lor some say that it's very good then some of them say that it's very confusing about the time travelling


than the producer have to come out and say that or is just, like the reason for the rapid time traveling is to have like the suspense in the audience so that to know what's going on, like the next episode of the few dramas will show that what are other reasons


what causes the time travelling and all, they spend like quite a huge amount of money in that drama, they even like hire, like err those, people in china who are specialized in those design of the clothing


and ya, woah


think currently right you got watch the korea drama, ya the it's it's okay not to be okay, I think that one not bad eh it's nice


ya I know, but since that one is on netflix what so I thought like you might watch or what


you watch american one or you watch the british one, [orh]


each season has how many episodes, thirteen, then each each episode how long


one hour, where do you watched from, err, it's the sci-fic one ah


[orh], I cannot watch if I watch right I will have nightmare


so it involves a lot of laws ah, OMG


that's the plot twister is it, like since they are lawyer themselves then they should be good at hiding all the crimes


eh they say friday having a dinner, or maybe or not a dinner is like a high tea


me, I don't need to go I will need to go to school next monday, for the, CPR and AED training


!huh!


[orh] like you have a roommate and all lah, three hundred per month is consider quite worth it already


ya cause now their rooms there are like six hundred, but it also depends lah like some of the rental fee, excluded the electrical bills


where is it, [orh] #ang mo kio# okay lah consider the north north side I think


ya lah but the thing is that the person you live with like you'll will have a time whereby you all need to need to how to say ah like need to know each other's living habits then you'll need to adapt something like that


so you need to find a nice roommate lor, why not you just work work at a place whereby they give you a place to live they give you something to eat


then you can backpack then you can travel to other countries, at a time, I mean like at anytime you want lah


ya lah, I think you just stay you will just stay where you are until like maybe thirty then you get your house


!huh! she what what is she unhappy about


it's because of your family ah or is it like also also because of your your national exams


I don't know lah, like I think I think like you'll really need to sit down and have a conversation but I don't think that will really work


because


like she still need some time, I mean like she still need some time to grow up lor


eh but I thought she's interested in acting, no, are you still searching for houses


ya I mean like if there's if there's nothing good inside the environment you won't even call it a home


I mean like you have you have your friends here what


it's okay, once you have your house in the future then you can decorate as greenish as you want, then maybe you can like


[orh], I only know Tampines as the east side of singapore, [orh] is at the green line at the like very very end what


it's very cool but it's very time consuming eh, if you want to migrate where were you migrate to


you want to what, [orh]


do something as it in get a job, but have you decided on what you want a not besides like IT


why would you choose like early childhood education


[orh] but children can be very noisy eh


, five six seven


two three years you need to change diapers one you know or not, the smaller the better you don't deal with their children you deal with the parents


like some parents will ask what how come my child has a scratch on their face why do they have bruise over here when was the last time you change their diapers


what time do you feed them, ya lah customer is always right they say


I I don't plan to like recently I've been considering like not to do what I'm studying now


like maybe in university instead of going for nursing I may opt for like physiotherapist or like other I like health professionals


like got few months for me to think, !whoa!, like


recently got a lot of different case, I don't know leh like both got COVID and got dengue then they say that dengue currently is like the worst


not a lot lah but as compared to past year ya like die nineteen I guess, it's not even like three quarter of the year is still like at a fifty percent of the year


mean like COVID is also bad there's nothing good about COVID and dengue


I don't even think I'll have a graduation ceremony next year


my think this thing won't go like until like I think this will become something like influenza, like a flu but it's worse, and you need to get a vaccination like every year or what


it's not man-made lah I think is like if if this virus is inside an animal nothing will happen to them but just nice that we consume the animal so that we contact the virus who knows that the virus spread so far


but now there are reports saying that I mean like last time they got say what is from actually from america is not from china


but if you think the other way right thats because they have such a wide variety of food choices right next time they can survive better in like forest or what eh, like they won't they won't be picky about it


but there are still animals out there right, then now they still need to encourage climate change


planting more trees et cetera, ya saving the earth err what this item is environmental friendly


then now they say [orh] before COVID nineteen this place all very polluted, but after COVID nineteen because there's no like travellers there's no like foreigners there's no tourists than the thing than the place becomes cleaner nicer looking


ya, mean like job is a very important thing they they don't even have enough money if lose their job


!huh! is it, oh I didn't know about that leh, but I heard they say that I mean like still have money lah


I think like other other countries don't know lah like american now so very


I feel that like some of their campaigns they tend to over exaggerate


like depends on the location lah, and if it's a condo then confirm it's more ex what


mean like you migrate don't migrate the wrong place lah, they take like migrate to like somewhere like japan their are living expenses are higher leh


they have winter then you go north pole or south pole lah, north pole and south pole you don't know where is it thats where polar bear stays you can just live with them


ya you can use your hair as the fur then you bleach into white colour


pure chinese all the way


chinese still chinese

oh okay what oh, oh


oh okay, have angry customers not ,


oh I see I see ah but IT also okay lah I mean ah now you see all the government all the job thing all IT related also and then all the business all move to IT side


<mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> <mandarin>如果你看:ru guo ni kan</mandarin> ah, ah <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> business or working world <mandarin>那边:na bian</mandarin> ah <mandarin>他们有很多那些:ta men you hen duo nei xie</mandarin> SAAS ah <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> software as a service then they always looking for sales also so I mean like one sounds like a bit ah business and IT kind of thing so good lah


err


[orh] !aiya! okay lah


don't know lah see is is complicated is a mix lah right because err they always say you you want to like make a lot of money you cannot be an employee at at


so, so slowly lah I mean got a lot off people who bloom bloom late also mah (ppc), in life so ya lor just have to keep working hard lah and and and hopefully make the right career move lah


(ppc) you leh !huh!


[orh] ya


ya , (ppc)


ya, okay lah I mean (ppc) <mandarin>年轻:nian qing</mandarin> ah is the is the best thing you can go and slowly think what you want to do and and if can make if have mistakes right not so bad


ya but okay what, then you eh got any siblings not


oh !wah! the difference so much ah, [orh]


okay lah at least , but I don't know I don't know I don't know how you how you how will that feel like because I cannot relate , ah sister and brother but I'm the youngest mah so I'm the last one


ah ya lor (ppc) oh


good lah good lah, (ppc) okay lah ah


[orh], okay lah like that at least makes you grow up faster a bit lah


err (ppc), the the not when working the best period is when your boss leave you alone lor to just do whatever don't come and disturb you or your clients don't come and disturb you can already ah don't make noise can already


(ppc)


(ppc) ah (ppc)


ya lah but then err studying different lah cause like


(ppc) <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor like that but when working but when working cannot happen one what don't seldom really happen lah very easy to spot lah


ah <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> YouTube ah Netflix ah


ah ya, err, YouTube videos ah ah mostly like football stuff or or not all lah not all some


ah documentary lor those crime one crime one ah quite quite interesting ah, [orh] usually some


oh no usually sometimes just put put it in a background only then like play play games on my phone lah, ah on my phone is like those applied puzzle game ah


ya, , not not really role playing lah last time I I used to play ah DOTA two like strategy but a bit RPG lah


that kind ya but then, what made me stop ah !wah! that one very addictive ah, because you if you win right if you're on winning streak ah you okay one more game and then okay after that you win one game you okay let's play another game and then if you start losing right then you want to break the losing streak also so either way is


it's a it's a vicious cycle ah if you can say, !wah!, !wah! horror games ah


(ppc) oh


ah <mandarin>我会看那个:wo hui kan na ge</mandarin> ah radbrad lah


genre <mandarin>的的:de de</mandarin> game ah then <mandarin>有有一个:you you yi ge</mandarin> horror game ah can't remember which one is it I think is based off a movie ah I think blair witch quite recent one was quite interesting eh


ya quite ah, it's like you just hold one torchlight and walk around like that, walk in the forest ah ya


skill ah not really ah I think maybe I can


in terms of skill for for work quite , quite broad lah because I can, I can use photoshop I can write I can use a lot of I can do quite a lot of things lah so on that note is like not really specialist but ah


but, ah ya but not super in depth lah enough to to get the job done lor


ya a bit true lah hopefully ah, ya


ah, ah <mandarin>没有这是我第一次做这种:mei you zhe shi wo di yi ci zuo zhe zhong</mandarin> project <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> (ppc)


ah just give it a try lor because you never know what what might happen ah ah, ya because I I also because ah I've been looking for other ways to make extra money as well


ah and then they have those user testing website lah so ya I think if you just type in to Google like user testing then they have those


err you review a website like that so they will you will have to download like this sort of like this application ah where they screen capture and your with your webcam and your microphone as well so they will show you this website


then you have to go and like talk about talk through the UI lor just, err


the the colours very clashing don't match makes me I don't know where to click because you cannot find this area this thing like that you just have to talk lor keep talking lor


but I never haven't I haven't ah can lah but they say about twenty minutes that kind lah but, okay lah I mean if you you can just practice lor is just like describing things ah I know it it cause is like <mandarin>你经常用那个:ni jing chang yong na ge</mandarin> err <mandarin>电脑:dian nao</mandarin> right then <mandarin>你会:ni hui</mandarin> you will be very familiar with the like


with our websites and online work right but then this one you need need to just try to approach it from a perspective where you're not an expert lor then you just have to just talk about things


ya you don't have you don't ya you don't go through it very fast you just slowly take your time and just click and talk, ya can


err climate change lor I think so ah ah, ah maybe COVID nineteen is nature's way of getting back at humans lor


ah <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor, you use up too many resources kill too many animals, farming lah


everything ah ya, then you eh how you think what ah what other ways you think


ah ya lah


then you never go through SARS last time right I never really experience, err cause err cause that time you too young right


!wah! !wah! that time that time very interesting eh cause that time I was in secondary school so like it's not as bad as now right now like news right just travel super fast eh last time no no Facebook no nothing mah


so ah no last time it is as students we had to take temperature every day so we had like a thermometer, and then


yeah you just have to record your thermometer your temperature everyday lah, ah


must lah about that to protect themself but ya


ya then but last time I think you can go and put MC also one lah if you want to get out of class or whatever ,


have ah (ppc), last time I I swim swim for school ah ya ya


okay lor not not really anything special lah


ya, I haven't swam in like in very long lah (ppc), err breast stroke well also ya I can swim all lah actually


what, [orh]


[orh],


for like those national team kind lah is it [orh] (ppc)


[orh] then secondary school eh [orh]


[orh], okay


interesting


okay lah (ppc) secondary school quite fun one lah


[orh] ya lah true, ya (ppc)


ah #nasi lemak# why ah


ya don't need to be super fancy to it's life's simple pleasures lor


ah ya oh ya lah true lah


oh okay, the Don Don Donki the sweet potato is


ah he also buy the the japanese sweet potato from I think NTUC or something lah they also sell quite nice ah is is is different flavour from the


orange one but the orange one in those in those ah fried fried one from those #goreng pisang# store ah !wah! that one also very nice


in ten years time ah I don't know eh, ah in terms of of career wise hopefully I can make it lah


err no no no no no definitely not (ppc) most most company I think like, SME wise in Singapore ah they they confirm don't pay you that well one ah unless you're you're the company you join is really making a lot of money and then your boss is quite


generous lah you know like he see you as like without you ah the the business is, the value drop a lot lah like you you you you earn so much money for the company right that he cannot replace you


ya but then they always say like every employee is replaceable lah so, ah ya lor excuse me


don't know leh is err risky ya ya


err especially if like you want to plan for legal responsibilities ah that kind of thing right let's say you want to get married then you have kids and all that then you you want to go cannot take risk ah cannot take so much risk


so if you ya think in my opinion lah I feel younger and you have that gambling sort of nature right and then okay lah good you you can go and take risk (ppc)


ya lor you ah, what


what kind of business ah ah, I think like a bit consumer product ah whether or not is like , drinks or like beverage or or food stuff lah (ppc)


ah with the right marketing right err sure people had can buy then after that it's just whether or not you can produce enough lor in my opinion lah


, err is the company


so the I'm not in the marketing department for any any brand or or or holding company for any brands lah, (ppc) so ya so so we do for quite a number of clients ah


ya correct


in terms of <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> what changes like what, err


I think the the I think is more of the way people advertise nowadays lor and the way people actually look at , your your messaging lor for all your products where to go and try to find information to buy your products lor


ya so so depends [orh] depends on whether whether !huh! [orh] hello depends on depends on whether have have budget lah


for and the objective ah ah so if


ya do also but that kind but that kind quite expensive lah so it depends on your clients budget lor if they have money and you feel like your you can meet the objective through TV then


okay lah can can propose lah depend on your target audience also mah (ppc) now <mandarin>现在那个:xian zai na ge</mandarin> TV <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> target audience those <mandarin>大多数都是比较老的:da duo shu dou shi bi jiao lao de</mandarin> mah, <mandarin>对他们还是在:dui ta men hai shi zai</mandarin> Mediacorp channel eight channel five <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> ah


have to go and find out err, where they are getting all their news or where they spend their time on lor so you try advertise there it's like that ah


, like hobbies ah


[orh] earn extra money ah (ppc), right now don't have anything eh I mean I thought of I thought of driving Grab part time also like weekend right like weekend driver lah right


but ah like that but but then that one COVID changed the whole story lah, because after everyone work from home then why go and


pay money to rent a car from Grab and then drive cause make no point lah make no sense and then , you want be delivery driver also don't make any sense lor you don't earn so much I think I think lah


ah


no <mandarin>八到十个:ba dao shi ge</mandarin> hour shift like per day lah like if you go and really clock in the hours right (ppc) I heard can make about five thousand a month ah, but is ya but in is like one monday to sunday kind of work lah


so ya lor I mean I think can do like food delivery if you want like if you really


have nothing to do right maybe it's okay lah right and if maybe I don't know if you want to get an exercise in now you see everyone all cycle mah last time all the PMD right now on now a lot of them all cycling


!wah! the walking one is really hardcore ah that one, but, walking you cannot earn as much mah cause you take the time you spend walking is already cannot do more volume mah


ya lor


then you eh you do any part time or what, what [orh] [orh]


have any other things interesting ah


right, no no no ah


oh ya ya they will ask you to spend money to make more money right and then the and then the the how to say ah then the the chart ah or whatever the


payment table they they give you they show you right all don't make sense one like very confusing either very confusing or too simple like that,


and then, and then they will ask you to buy don't know how much hundred dollars worth of product or something to go and sell and then you're like before you sell already before you even make money you already in debt already


but I mean they always say you need to spend money to make money lah but then this one MLM one don't really makes etc, ya because ya lor


(ppc)


then then,


!aiyo! those are


cert ah cert that that people actually recognise rather than some MLM thing like even if they give you a course completion cert right doesn't mean anything , ya (ppc)


<mandarin>就是好像:jiu shi hao xiang</mandarin> <mandarin>自己骗自己那样:zi ji pian zi ji na yang</mandarin> lah, ah <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> ah <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin>


ah, ah


can can can can can ah I I I on on Youtube I like to go and find all this story also got this Youtube channel very interesting one


ya ah they they always like to hard sell one lah


but then right I I think ah nevermind lah this one cause I read somewhere this China this woman in China right she she joined this American company from America and then she brought the the ah business model to China first


what's so you know MLM just pyramid model if you are the top ah you are really damn rich one mah, if you are the first person to do it high and then she was the first source lor she she become damn rich lor


but you feel like a con man lah I don't know if you can sleep at night lah, ah <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> ya


ah


TV ah like channel five ah Mediacorp ah err <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> leh <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> TV <mandarin>只是只是只是:zhi shi zhi shi zhi shi</mandarin> Channel News Asia <mandarin>那种而已因为:na zhong er yi yin wei</mandarin>


ah then news lor news news <mandarin>很重要:hen zhong yao</mandarin> ah, !huh!


then <mandarin>网络:wang luo</mandarin> eh, ah oh


ya lor ah


ah !walao! really is damn good lor I like , the english one and chinese also like the the drama


oh what <mandarin>他大长今:ta da chang jin</mandarin> (ppc), [orh] !wah! <mandarin>十多年:shi duo nian</mandarin> ah


, ah


<mandarin>还有个有个人:hai you ge you ge ren</mandarin> ah <mandarin>有个人会他的:you ge ren hui ta de</mandarin> niche <mandarin>是好像他会讲:shi hao xiang ta hui jiang</mandarin> about <mandarin>那些好像:nei xie hao xiang</mandarin> MLM <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> lah (ppc)


ah <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> online guru <mandarin>的你会看到:de ni hui kan dao</mandarin> ah <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> ads right about how you can make ten thousand dollars a month ah be becoming a Amazon FBA <mandarin>什么什么:shen me shen me</mandarin> that kind of thing


then , (ppc)


<mandarin>我没有:wo mei you</mandarin> try <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> try <mandarin>过:guo</mandarin> lah <mandarin>他们讲你你需要找到一个:ta men jiang ni ni xu yao zhao dao yi ge</mandarin> ah product ah, that that that everyone like lah right got like a lot of


people will buy one and then so the margin sometimes is very little is very low ah like maybe twenty percent margin only on your profit lah right on your revenue or whatever and then but you sell through volume that kind of thing


but also don't know lah you know, I saw one guy calculate , I think his sales was like maybe a few million but then his cost of sales also very high but then if you go and split right by (ppc) how many hours he spent on it


per year per per day or or whatever right and then you break it down right his profit over the hours right (ppc) in the end it still sounds okay lah you make like a about few hundred dollars per hour like that


, okay lah but you know but have to see lor, risky also lah ya but I mean <mandarin>要赚大钱就要需要冒险的:yao zhuan da qian jiu yao xu yao mao xian de</mandarin> lor


ah, <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> ya, okay I think I think about one hour already, (ppc)


okay you plan on doing this quite often is it if they approve it, [eh] you pause already stop already or what


okay, oh food ah, I kind of like spicy food like Mala Mala something spicy


(hmm), Mala nowadays because COVID nineteen lor I stay at home so delivery lor from Admiralty you know there's one I mean one store near Admiralty like near the MRT they sell really good Mala food ya


ah it's like a <mandarin>咖啡店:ka fei dian</mandarin> but then ya a very small <mandarin>咖啡店:ka fei dian</mandarin> ah near MRT, then how about you


oh, but then ah, ya but then very expensive right I heard


ya service


(mmhmm), !wah! so good


<mandarin>所以去那边基本上:suo yi qu na bian ji ben shang</mandarin> but the food is nice or not, oh ah I see


oh, by the way like before we go into other topics or are you still a student because I am still a student lah just curious


oh you are working already so what do you work as, oh, side income


ah same so previously what did you study, [orh] business, like what kind of modules do you like the most


oh ya because now you are in advertising


ah okay, ya but then business <mandarin>我现在读的都是:wo xian zai du de dou shi</mandarin> like err basic modules <mandarin>还没有:hai mei you</mandarin> touch into like deep levels lah


like very basic stuff for now general modules ya so I can't really tell lah because I'm going to year two soon still quite new ya


three years <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> SIM


, so , quite a mix one eh because I'm like twenty one then there's some that are like just a teenager like seventeen to eighteen <mandarin>很年轻而已:hen nian qing er yi</mandarin> then <mandarin>有些也有:you xie ye you</mandarin> like twenty plus <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> older than me so is like a quite a wide wide variety of people


quite interesting, meet not like all like <mandarin>以前:yi qian</mandarin> secondary school <mandarin>还是:hai shi</mandarin> primary school <mandarin>都是基本上一样的学生:dou shi ji ben shang yi yang de xue sheng</mandarin> I mean <mandarin>一样:yi yang</mandarin> age <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> same age , classmates and students so is quite like a new experience for me


, oh


then <mandarin>你做了几年:ni zuo le ji nian</mandarin> oh, !wah! four five years quite long already


<mandarin>我以前做:wo yi qian zuo</mandarin> internship <mandarin>我也是做到有点要命:wo ye shi zuo dao you dian yao ming</mandarin>


(hmm) sorry oh last time I used to join like information technology the last time I used to study information technology


ya so <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> study ya then the things that I do are roughly IT based stuff like help people with email very very <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> like customer service for IT lor, like email stuff they have problems issues then they will go to these help desk and I will help them


then and there are also Funnyish I I mean other funny funny , what ah funny issues they have like how do you turn on the the what flashlight on the phone all kinds of funny issues too


not just ya but mainly what I do is just PC stuff but very basic, , not really customers eh because <mandarin>我们都是:wo men dou shi</mandarin> like just like different departments <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> colleagues


but <mandarin>基本上他们还好:ji ben shang ta men hai hao</mandarin> lah they are not very <mandarin>霸道:ba dao</mandarin> or angry because we're not there to like , but we are there to serve them we're not like they pay us to do something so still okay


ya


, but now switch to another one lor I switch to business already ya <mandarin>所以:suo yi</mandarin> IT actually <mandarin>也不错:ye bu cuo</mandarin> lah like <mandarin>你可以比较容易:ni ke yi bi jiao rong yi</mandarin> switch <mandarin>如果你读:ru guo ni du</mandarin> something that's more I mean like very


like narrow <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> hor <mandarin>你就不能这样容易换:ni jiu bu neng zhe yang rong yi huan</mandarin> to another major, like <mandarin>以前我读:yi qian wo du</mandarin> IT <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> switch to business but <mandarin>如果你读:ru guo ni du</mandarin> something like maybe education related <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> then maybe <mandarin>就比较难:jiu bi jiao nan</mandarin> have the transition lor


oh


okay partly or besides that like <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> family <mandarin>是怎样的:shi zen yang de</mandarin> like you <mandarin>有没有:you mei you</mandarin> siblings how is your family like, [orh] younger than you or [orh] older [orh] okay okay


but <mandarin>你几岁:ni ji sui</mandarin> Liao, [orh] <mandarin>三十一:san shi yi</mandarin> ah !wah! okay


ya but but <mandarin>不用紧:bu yong jin</mandarin> lah <mandarin>只要:zhi yao</mandarin> but you have, what what is your goal in life


ya I heard a lot of , ya ya, late bloomer


so are you planning to for me ya of course <mandarin>我也是想赚大钱:wo ye shi xiang zhuan da qian</mandarin> lah but <mandarin>我还还读书:wo hai hai du shu</mandarin> lah <mandarin>所以那个我就不会先想:suo yi na ge wo jiu bu hui xian xiang</mandarin> lah <mandarin>赚大钱的事:zhuan da qian de shi</mandarin> but then maybe I can help people like when


but then maybe I can help people like when because in order to like <mandarin>真的做:zhen de zuo</mandarin> mega like <mandarin>真的很有钱的人:zhen de hen you qian de ren</mandarin> you have to first help people like there must be a demand for your help then before you can earn that money because of your help


there must be a need for your service before you can earn that money, but I'm still looking lah <mandarin>现在我读书我还不知道不是很清楚:xian zai wo du shu wo hai bu zhi dao bu shi hen qing chu</mandarin> but


I will be thinking lor during these years,


, ya I have one very young one <mandarin>我二十一岁:wo er shi yi sui</mandarin> hor then <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> brother ya <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> sibling a brother he's like only seven eh


ya so much, it's like surprise lor <mandarin>我也是没有心理准备会:wo ye shi mei you xin li zhun bei hui</mandarin> I I mean <mandarin>我我做:wo wo zuo</mandarin> like a single child for a long long time already then suddenly pop one brother


unexpected, , [orh] <mandarin>你的是:ni de shi</mandarin> sisters ah, oh oh true oh yeah yeah yeah


but <mandarin>基本上也是不错:ji ben shang ye shi bu cuo</mandarin> lah actually <mandarin>有一个责任:you yi ge ze ren</mandarin> lor so like you have someone young to I mean because <mandarin>我是:wo shi</mandarin> the older one <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I mean my parents expect me to <mandarin>以后有钱了就供我的:yi hou you qian le jiu gong wo de</mandarin> brother <mandarin>去读书所以:qu du shu suo yi</mandarin> it's good to have a responsibility to ah but


I am trying to learn to have take that responsibility ya last time I used to be the only child then have everything like no responsibilities nothing much lah actually


true true, then besides that what is the most memorable time of your life during your study I mean the the times where you study or like now or


when is the best period, oh okay


but then project is also like work sometimes you have to mix with people you have to come to a conclusion then


<mandarin>像:xiang</mandarin> , (mmhmm)


ah <mandarin>对对对就是那种:dui dui dui jiu shi na zhong</mandarin> free loaders <mandarin>就你做:jiu ni zuo</mandarin>


so that's the difference okay, so during your free time what do you do, [orh] YouTube


like YouTube video, [orh] football mostly


[orh], oh I used to watch that too but then it's quite scary so I stopped watching them , ya because sometime (hmm) sorry


[orh] what games you play, [orh] puzzle


do you play like do you play role playing games, [orh]


what made you stop playing, ya, oh ya games


that's true, ya I used to play like horror games also but then I stop again , ya but then horror not so much lah like slender man or like witch house like then


then I stop playing because <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> very addictive and then quite scary lah ya very weird right ironic that I am afraid of the game but then I still play ya but I stop already


[orh] yes


[orh] [orh]


so I didn't too much for me to handle, [orh] <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> like slender man actually ah ya okay and


do you have any like skills that you are proud to share, skills ya


, !wah! oh


you know a wide variety of skills, [orh], oh actually that is a skill like not bad, because you can make things happen and then <mandarin>如果你要:ru guo ni yao</mandarin> like be rich then you need to make things happen so that's a start man


, and other than that


like Gumtree like before I just asking like this platform thing do you have experiences with this kind of project, oh <mandarin>这是我第一次:zhe shi wo di yi ci</mandarin> so


ya the outcome, oh


[orh]


[orh] okay


[orh] !wah!


but <mandarin>这样你可以:zhe yang ni ke yi</mandarin> talk <mandarin>很久有没有:hen jiu you mei you</mandarin> !wah! continuously ah,


as a user like what do you see , so they have one question lor I'm just using the prompt now like how do you think humans will become extinct


climate change ya actually like is, and then like maybe COVID nineteen


ya humans <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> earth <mandarin>太不好:tai bu hao</mandarin> Liao, okay , ya then kill like the nature also to build the buildings infrastructure


okay, I think virus is one of the ways lor which is now is possible but then


they are still in the midst of creating one right so


it's only until when and but then since the SARS outbreak last time they haven't even created like a vaccine for SARS so I think somehow human will have to adapt and then what I mean


human will have a way to like go to I mean without dying but then maybe one day there will be one that will be very big, then get can make humans extinct ya virus


then climate change, I mean I don't know lah but I heard from my parents ya very young


I didn't even know oh oh


last time is just as per normal life is it


that's it [orh], !wah! <mandarin>不用:bu yong</mandarin> ah,


unlike now


[orh] okay okay, kay besides that like during last time like do you have any CCAs


like what kind of CCAs, [orh] swim eh the the school team right so


how does it feel to be in a school team last time, [orh]


okay do you still like swimming, what kind of styles do you swim in, [orh] breast stroke and how about freestyle like backstroke [orh] okay


err <mandarin>我以前是:wo yi qian shi</mandarin> join that will be like very long ago Liao actually <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> primary school, primary school <mandarin>我是:wo shi</mandarin> primary school <mandarin>我是:wo shi</mandarin> bowling <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> err school team also


ya then the best part is <mandarin>就是每个人都很团结:jiu shi mei ge ren dou hen tuan jie</mandarin> that's what I liked about like being in a in a sports team


<mandarin>去:qu</mandarin> join <mandarin>比较就是全部:bi jiao jiu shi quan bu</mandarin> elite bowlers hor <mandarin>会:hui</mandarin> join together lor so I'm just a normal school school team player


but then it was like ah ya ya <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> recruit lor <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> quite to they wanna source like people from different schools and then <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> school <mandarin>有一个是:you yi ge shi</mandarin> bowling <mandarin>蛮不错的:man bu cuo de</mandarin> then eventually <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> join national team Liao


but ya <mandarin>我们也没有来往所以有一点偏题:wo men ye mei you lai wang suo yi you yi dian pian ti</mandarin> Liao, ya but otherwise secondary school I didn't join like sports I join a club like a fellowship club


so is quite what is quite a drastic change like from sports then I change to like a club clubs and societies, then the club is like <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> gather everyone together and then we will share our days like <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> have some sharing then we also play games


but ya but otherwise, <mandarin>就是就:jiu shi jiu</mandarin> more about the sharing part we we are like a group of friends but not really close lah <mandarin>我只有:wo zhi you</mandarin> like a few that are really close but then others I mean even though it's like a


sounds like a very close knit group but then actually there are different cliques lor, , ya but still <mandarin>还算不错:hai suan bu cuo</mandarin> lah


I still prefer now lah <mandarin>因为现在比较多:yin wei xian zai bi jiao duo</mandarin> freedom, , okay then another prompt question again so if you were to eat one dish for the rest of your life what would it be


why that's your favourite food


[orh] understand


that's good like to but then I think eat too much also not healthy lah but for all foods also lah so, ya but then ya one dish okay ya for me I also I'm not that healthy like if I want I if I want to choose one dish ya I think like any potatoes like fried potatoes boiled potatoes


ya something that can make me full then <mandarin>我就开心:wo jiu kai xin</mandarin> Liao , ah ya also nice I've tried that too like <mandarin>他们我也不懂他们是用什么做的就很好吃很甜:ta men wo ye bu dong ta men shi yong shen me zuo de jiu hen hao chi hen tian</mandarin> I think <mandarin>他们是用:ta men shi yong</mandarin> honey <mandarin>去:qu</mandarin> bake or something


ya is like [orh] ya #goreng pisang#


then like in ten years time where do you see yourself at, I also don't know


will you stay at the same company oh, oh ya


oh


, so in ten years time are you going to like create something like business like <mandarin>存够钱:cun gou qian</mandarin> maybe


ya actually, [orh]


understand take risk


but if you can set up a business like what kind are you what kind of, what kind of business are you going to like go what which one do you think would be like good for you


ya, [orh]


so like currently you are in in the advertising company right is it the advertising company or is it just the department that you are working at


oh so is the company is


oh so you help with the advertising for the clients, [orh] okay, so during these years in the company like is there any changes that you see


the way you work or the environment


or maybe (hmm)


oh, [orh] then <mandarin>现在都是在:xian zai dou shi zai</mandarin> internet <mandarin>出现:chu xian</mandarin> then <mandarin>你做的是你做的是电脑的:ni zuo de shi ni zuo de shi dian nao de</mandarin> right


<mandarin>就是基本上:jiu shi ji ben shang</mandarin> the the advertising ads you do ads right, [orh] like wait I I can't really hear you ah ya okay


[orh] [orh] [orh] ya so is like the client will ask, what kind of ads they want like <mandarin>电脑的还是:dian nao de hai shi</mandarin> like what's the range ah like what kind of advertising like do you also do like TV advertising


, ah <mandarin>对对对:dui dui dui</mandarin>


[orh] <mandarin>所以就是要看什么:suo yi jiu shi yao kan shen me</mandarin> target audience then <mandarin>你就:ni jiu</mandarin> do accordingly right,


okay, so other than the advertising then there's this side hustle what other things do you do like, for like to earn extra money


ya, oh


oh weekend driver oh ya


eh but actually like you know FoodPanda or Grab like for delivering food lor those actually work right because


from from what I see like as a consumer because sometimes <mandarin>我一点懒惰:wo yi dian lan duo</mandarin> then <mandarin>我就就用:wo jiu jiu yong</mandarin> apps then <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> then <mandarin>他他们还是有在做工那些:ta ta men hai shi you zai zuo gong nei xie</mandarin> delivery drivers


, not bad but then it requires like a lot of [orh] that's true actually


ya oh true ya


ya cycling or some even walking leh, ya


that's true like a lot of <mandarin>很吃力:hen chi li</mandarin> , okay


I'm finding part time so like I go search lor oh <mandarin>我也是有看:wo ye shi you kan</mandarin> Gumtree <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> search Carousell then <mandarin>我就找到这个:wo jiu zhao dao zhe ge</mandarin> ya so I hope this they were just accept lah


currently


ya true true <mandarin>你有做过:ni you zuo guo</mandarin> mah oh


but <mandarin>花了我三个小时在那边听全部都:hua le wo san ge xiao shi zai na bian ting quan bu dou</mandarin> upsell something, ya


ya then, ah ya simple until like there's no like space for errors to happen like <mandarin>一定会:yi ding hui</mandarin> work <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> that's what they say


which is impossible


ya true that's true but, ya <mandarin>就你:jiu ni</mandarin> spend the money <mandarin>要比你赚的钱还多:yao bi ni zhuan de qian hai duo</mandarin> actually


then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> like !huh! then then <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> like


that's what she told me but ten thousand dollars eh like <mandarin>我现在读:wo xian zai du</mandarin> (hmm) <mandarin>我现在读大学:wo xian zai du da xue</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> ten thousand dollars is like part of a semester Liao, then <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> ten thousand dollars <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> throw into an MLM <mandarin>所以:suo yi</mandarin> ya


ya degree lor hopefully is recognised ah, actually has no value I think <mandarin>因为因为就是他们讲:yin wei yin wei jiu shi ta men jiang</mandarin> [orh] I can say it has value but actually <mandarin>你出去:ni chu qu</mandarin> like <mandarin>做工的时候等一下没有:zuo gong de shi hou deng yi xia mei you</mandarin> value <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> like <mandarin>老板看:lao ban kan</mandarin> Liao ah <mandarin>他讲:ta jiang</mandarin> who is this like this MLM company


so much money eh we have to spend so much money I I mean we don't I mean as students we don't have that much money at the time


so we can't even like go for their classes then <mandarin>他们就之后又讲:ta men jiu zhi hou you jiang</mandarin> [orh] actually there's like one thousand dollars <mandarin>的配套:de pei tao</mandarin> you can sign up for one thousand dollars, then then do you want to hear anot is like very ridiculous lah


[orh]


and that like can give you like some shares of the company but that shares you know it's like unrecognised shares I mean, because there are I mean shares doesn't mean <mandarin>一定是好的:yi ding shi hao de</mandarin> mah there are also bad companies with some shares


I mean at that time I study I still need to pay like school fees then at that time I still need like some extra income right and also some bursaries


ya then I don't have that money to pay for another thing that's what I told them then they are like err then <mandarin>他们就一直:ta men jiu yi zhi</mandarin> pressure <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> like err if do you really want to succeed or not do you wanna really succeed because if you give us the money but in


in another way what I heard <mandarin>就是只要你给他们钱:jiu shi zhi yao ni gei ta men qian</mandarin> that's what they say lah <mandarin>只要给他们钱:zhi yao gei ta men qian</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>你就可以:ni jiu ke yi</mandarin> succeed but then obviously MLM you know what MLM is right, ya ya


(mmhmm)


(mmhmm), ya true


I think <mandarin>做:zuo</mandarin> like <mandarin>那种可以帮到人的:na zhong ke yi bang dao ren de</mandarin> business <mandarin>比较好:bi jiao hao</mandarin> lah <mandarin>这种不行:zhe zhong bu xing</mandarin> lah


and can't sustain lah <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> after awhile, after a few years


do you watch TV ah often, ya channel five ya [orh]


I mean <mandarin>我是说就是我说那些老人:wo shi shuo jiu shi wo shuo nei xie lao ren</mandarin> lor like <mandarin>有些老人不看电视:you xie lao ren bu kan dian shi</mandarin> then <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> I mean <mandarin>他们家就是:ta men jia jiu shi</mandarin> <mandarin>吃:chi</mandarin> then <mandarin>就出去走走:jiu chu qu zou zou</mandarin> then


<mandarin>我以前也是有看:wo yi qian ye shi you kan</mandarin> ya drama


but <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>很多戏:hen duo xi</mandarin> [orh] especially like on <mandarin>拜六的时候就有那个台湾的节目通常都是夜市人生:bai liu de shi hou jiu you na ge tai wan de jie mu tong chang dou shi ye shi ren sheng</mandarin> or something <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> then [orh] <mandarin>那个是:na ge shi</mandarin> like !wah! <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> go from like don't know how many episodes
