so <tamil>அங்க:anga</tamil> post <tamil>பண்ணமோதெல்லாம் வந்து என்கிட்ட வந்து என்னாச்சு அப்படி கேப்பா:pannamothellaam vanthu enkitta vanthu ennaachu appadi kaeppaa</tamil> she's my personal counsellor lah you can say, and ya then we are very close and, err we also play games together at home like you know err phone lah <tamil>உள்ள விளையாட்டெல்லாம் நாங்க வந்து விளையாடுவோம்:ulla vilaiyaattellaam naanga vanthu vilaiyaaduvom</tamil> so we are very close in general but


I'm also close to my other family members but it's just that uh ya my parents when they, err <tamil>அப்ப நேரா நேரா வந்து வேலைல வந்து பயன்படுத்துறாங்க:appa neraa neraa vanthu velaila vanthu payanpaduthuraanga</tamil> so they are not home very often like they are very they are home for very short time


she's always here when I'm at home like she because our school timing always end the same time right then <tamil>அப்ப வந்து அவ வீட்டுல இருக்கும்போது நா அவகூட வந்து:appa vanthu veetula irukkumpothu naa avakooda vanthu</tamil> close ah <tamil>இருப்பேன்:iruppaen</tamil> so she's my closest family member


for me right for me right I would improve my self esteem by like you know okay uh you know I go gym right, so it's, I go gym to basically err you know make me feel better lah because I'm a person who like takes care of my body and I err you know insecurities and stuff right


but like I want to feel better about myself so ah I improve my self esteem by like you know, a <tamil>நா இப்ப வந்து:naa ippa vanthu</tamil> gym <tamil>போம்மோது:pommothu</tamil> err every week I will just you know record myself you know just to see how I look like you know shirtless our record myself


like my my physique basically, then <tamil>எப்படி இருப்பேனு பாப்பேன்:eppadi iruppaenu paappaen</tamil> err <tamil>அதுக்கு அப்புறம் வந்து இத வார வாரம் செய்யமோது:athukku appuram vanthu itha vaara vaaram seiyamothu</tamil> I can see improvements lah basically because


so that's how you I improve my self esteem for others right, basically <tamil>நா நினைக்குறது என்னன்னா வந்து:naa ninaikkurathu ennannaa vanthu</tamil> they have to find their own ways lah different people have different ways of you know managing with their self esteem like you have to find what's your insecurities first and then like come up with a plan to tackle the insecurity so ya


a little bit lah but like I think it's for the best because <tamil>இப்ப நம்ம:ippa namma</tamil> singapore lah <tamil>இருக்கோ:iruko</tamil> like singaporeans like I think it's altogether one culture it's not like, it's a culture on its own and I think it's made up of different cultures coming together


is it influence of all cultures I think err <tamil>இப்போ இப்போ வந்து நம்ம:ippo ippo vanthu namma</tamil> <tamil>நம்ம:namma</tamil> country lah <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> we are we learn to accept everything


and I'm not really influenced too much because I also like my own culture and you know celebrating Diwali and everything, and, uh I uh I won't say I'm completely influenced lah then I think I enjoy it also a lot to learn about different things cause I like you know travelling and learning about different people in general


err <tamil>ஒரு நல்ல விசயோதா நா நினைக்குர:oru nalla visayotha na ninaikura</tamil> lah, what


, ah


I think <tamil>நீ சொல்ர:nee solra</tamil> point <tamil>வந்து ரொம்ப நல்ல:vanthu romba nalla</tamil> point <tamil>தா:tha</tamil> because uh this is something that I also face, uh and I remember like I uh first <tamil>நா மொதல்ல பாத்த போது:na mothalla patha pothu</tamil> I saw it from a classmate and it was during a lesson when my teacher was uh teaching and she showed a bottle of uh showed a drink and uh and my one of my muslim friend he he got thirsty because of that and I can imagine because it is very difficult to to you know stay that long without water


not gone your Pisaso something like that


is like <tamil>நீ சொன்ன மாரிதா:nee sonna maritha</tamil> I think it's exactly the same for me lah because, I had, friends from all different cultures malay chinese uh, even from other various buddhist uh like uh background so, some of them you know some of them are vegetarian also some of them like fast on certain days like and some of them as you know had an entire fasting month and have different things


so when, and, and I think that's a great thing like uh <tamil>நம்ம:namma</tamil> hindu lah so there's a Baratta <tamil>செய்ய மாட்டோ:seiya maato</tamil> mass ah where that you know we all, try to stay vegetarian and


that time my friends were you know tried to go to a place where there's accessible you know vegetarian options for me as well, I really appreciate a lot from them and I think when, it happens for them


I'm very thankful to have uh such good friends around me


, oh [orh]


eh everyone is taken care of and it's what my personal feeling is and I think that's what makes me proud to be a singaporean itself


and, I hope ya and I think it's something that, I really believe in which is important to a country, uh, so uh after our A levels we are going for NS err and time to do our NS so what what do you think what are you expecting for uh your NS life and err what do you think going to change in your life or how is it going to impact you


and ah although <tamil>அது கஷ்டமா இருக்குனு தெரியு கண்டிப்பா என்ன சில வாட்டி நா:athu kastama irukunu theriyu kandipa enna sila vaati na</tamil> I will be you will be feeling the same what <tamil>நானு கொஞ்சோ:naanu konjo</tamil> low ah <tamil>தா இருக்க:tha iruka</tamil> but


and I will I think I hope it happens that way and uh <tamil>அப்டி நடந்துச்சுனா:apdi nadanthuchuna</tamil> I will be very thankful for NS and I think it has been there for many many people, and I hope for the same and obviously <tamil>எனக்கு புது:enaku puthu</tamil> people lah meet <tamil>பன்ரது எனக்கு புடிக்கு நீ சொன்னமாரி புது:panrathu enaku pudiku nee sonnamari puthu</tamil> friends


ya, ,

and, the food is something


so so I think <tamil>அதனாலதா எனக்கு:athanalatha enaku</tamil> err I'm looking forward to NS


err one dream that I have yet to achieve will definitely be being a professional athlete I think it's one thing that


<tamil>முயற்சி செய்வ:muyatchi seiva</tamil> err <tamil>ஆனா:aana</tamil> life lah <tamil>என்ன நடக்குன்னு யாருக்குமே தெரியாது:enna nadakunu yarukume theriyathu</tamil> Efalayan <tamil>ஏனா என்ன வேனாலு நடக்கலா:yena enna venalu nadakala</tamil> so


I think <tamil>அது ஒரு:athu oru</tamil> super dream <tamil>ஏனா:yena</tamil> err discipline <tamil>வந்து எல்லாருக்கு இருக்கனு ஒரு கொஞ்சோ:vanthu ellaruku irukanu oru konjo</tamil> successful ah err and I'm I'm glad that you're looking in to and and I'll see you may allow influent this year


err, now, I thought about a different question like and this question is somehow if you won a million dollars right what is the first thing that you think you are going to buy


I think , for <tamil>எனக்கு வந்து:enaku vanthu</tamil> somehow same <tamil>தா:tha</tamil> because, cause <tamil>எனக்கு:enaku</tamil> cars <tamil>வந்து ரொம்ப:vanthu romba</tamil> interest


I feel that it's something that uh it's necessary for me as a human being to do you know it's to help other human beings


err <tamil>நல்ல கேள்விதா என்ன:nalla kelvitha enna</tamil> COVID lah <tamil>வந்து நெரய நெரய விசயோ நடந்துச்சு நெரய:vanthu neraya neraya visayo nadanthuchu neraya</tamil> things <tamil>மாரிச்சு ஏனா:marichu yena</tamil> because


uh <tamil>வெளில போரது:velila porathu</tamil> because <tamil>வெளில போரது:velila porathu</tamil> this <tamil>இந்த:intha</tamil> Senna <tamil>வந்து சாப்பாட்டுக்கு இல்ல:vanthu saapaatuku illa</tamil> family time oh spend <tamil>பன்ரதுக்கு இப்ப:panrathuku ippa</tamil> family time <tamil>வந்து எல்லாமே வீட்ல இருந்துச்சு:vanthu ellame veetla irunthuchu</tamil> because, uh <tamil>இப்ப என்னோட வீட்ல வந்து:ippa ennoda veetla vanthu</tamil> uh for example <tamil>வந்து என்னோட:vanthu ennoda</tamil> my Patti will always err take the TV from of a certain time


but uh my brother and I wanted to play PS four at the at at the same time it happened


but how about you


ya the circuit breaker


, , uh


ah yes you are right because even like such issues prepare you for the worst times lah I think and I think that's very important, so, uh, so


so so what so in in your past seventeen years right what are some achievements you have got what awards or anything you have gotten, Ennom


then uh <tamil>அதுக்கப்ரோ வந்து நீ சொன்னமாரி:athukapro vanthu nee sonnamari</tamil> err


so <tamil>அதுல நா கொஞ்சோ கொஞ்சோ:athula na konjo konjo</tamil> divas <tamil>வாங்கிருக்க:vaangirukka</tamil> but


but <tamil>நா நா சும்மா:na na summa</tamil> exam <tamil>காகமே நா எழுதுவ:kaakame na eluthuva</tamil> err because of my parents just ask me to take then I just take lah but if not I'm not usually very interested in these things so, I just tend to focus more on my sport which is what I truly love and that's where most of my awards are


I think it's very important also lah, oh mah, oh it's err that's why I really have to think about because err oh one thing I will change from my past is when in my younger days I wished that I had learned a musical instrument


it would have been good for myself and my current future cause, err <tamil>என்னோட:ennoda</tamil> generation lah <tamil>வந்து நெரயப்பேர் வந்து:vanthu nerayaper vanthu</tamil> like in the small bands or they play like my friends some of my christian friends like to play in their church groups


and I think I find it very interesting and, I think I wished that I could have picked something up when I was younger, what what about you


, I think it's uh very good that children pick up like at least one musical instrument when they're younger


okay so now coming to this err, now I wanted to ask you this err we both like a lot of like our famous people in the style of basketball players or different other celebrities and some songwriters also err if you could spend one day with any one of them who do you think will be and why


an anyone err any any any person


uh <tamil>எனக்கு:enaku</tamil> one hundred per cent cristiano ronaldo <tamil>எனக்கு:enaku</tamil> Karla <tamil>கொஞ்சோ கூட:konjo kooda</tamil> doubt eh <tamil>இல்ல:illa</tamil> because


and <tamil>அதலா பாக்கும்போது எனக்கு ரொம்ப:athalaa paakumpothu enaku romba</tamil> and <tamil>அவன பத்தி இன்னு கொஞ்சோ தெரிஞ்சிக வந்து எனக்கு ரொம்ப ஆசயா இருக்கு:avana pathi innu konjo therinjika vanthu enaku romba aasaya iruku</tamil> so I feel I feel that this will really help me


err <tamil>எனக்கு வந்து மொதல்ல ஒரு:enaku vanthu mothalla oru</tamil> cool work <tamil>பன்லானு கொஞ்சோ யோசிச்சிட்டு இருக்க:panlaanu konjo yosichitu iruka</tamil> because, uh <tamil>நம்ம அப்பா:namma appa</tamil> when we were talking about it before


so when I I hope to start working and maybe get myself some shoes but at the same time you know save money and to you know go out with my friends, or even for my future so I think this is something I will start doing working but, I also plan to pick up different different things like for example you know get more into fitness cause


A level time lah <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> like gym <tamil>போரதுக்கு அவளோ:porathuku avalo</tamil> time <tamil>இருக்காது:irukathu</tamil> then maybe you know, A level <tamil>முடிச்சப்ரோ வந்து:mudichapro vanthu</tamil> and I can start again and <tamil>இதுல வந்து இது ரொம்ப நல்ல விசயோனு எனக்கு தோணுது:ithula vanthu ithu romba nalla visayonu enaku thonuthu</tamil> because <tamil>இந்த:intha</tamil> time lah <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> I can, uh <tamil>திருப்பியு ஒரு நாலு:thiruppiyu oru naalu</tamil> fitness stage <tamil>கு போலா:ku pola</tamil> plus <tamil>என்ட:enda</tamil> friends <tamil>ஓடயு நா ஒன்னு:odayu na onnu</tamil> err hang up <tamil>பன்லா:panla</tamil> because


if uh, then err


err <tamil>எனக்கு சேந்தா அவ அனுப்புனா நானு ஒரு:enaku sentha ava anupuna nanu oru</tamil> extreme dog person because of that I think future lah <tamil>வந்து நா ஒரு:vanthu na oru</tamil> golden retriever Moonang <tamil>நா வாங்கனுனு நெனைகுர இல்லனா ஒரு:na vaaganunu nenaikura illana oru</tamil> labrador uh <tamil>எனக்கு:enaku</tamil> okay or, err some <tamil>எனக்கு சில சில:enaku sila sila</tamil> breeds <tamil>ரொம்ப ரொம்ப புடிக்கு:romba romba pudiku</tamil> so Allatha


I think <tamil>எனக்கு அதே:enaku athe</tamil> feelings <tamil>தா:tha</tamil> because <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> pet <tamil>நா வந்து எனக்கு அதவந்து ஒரு ஒரு சின்ன கொழந்த மாரி நா யோசிக்குர அதுட வித்தியாசமே இல்லனு நா நெனைகுர:na vanthu enaku athavanthu oru oru sinna kolantha mari na yosikura athuda vithiyasame illanu na nenaikura</tamil> because


be that so I feel that, it's very important to keep your pet safe and know that you need a pet


err <tamil>இதுவந்து இந்த இந்த கேள்விக்கு நா பதில் வந்து ரொம்ப பாதியா இருக்க:ithuvanthu intha intha kelviku na pathil vanthu romba paathiya irukka</tamil> like because <tamil>வந்து எனக்கு மொதல்ல:vanthu enaku mothalla</tamil> singapore lah <tamil>இருக்குரது ரொம்ப புடிக்கு ஏனா:irukurathu romba pudiku yena</tamil> singapore <tamil>தா என்னோட:tha ennoda</tamil> like


uh <tamil>அதுனால:athunala</tamil> <tamil>சிலதரோ நா யோசிப்ப:silatharo na yosippa</tamil> maybe uh news channel lah <tamil>கொஞ்சோ கொஞ்ச நாள் இருக்கலாமா இல்ல:konjo konja naal irukalama illa</tamil> maybe <tamil>அங்க போலாமானு இருந்துச்சு சிலதரோ யோசிப்ப:anga polamanu irunthuchu silatharo yosippa</tamil> but, uh <tamil>அங்க வந்து எனக்கு மத்த புடிச்ச:anga vanthu enaku maththa pudicha</tamil> things lah <tamil>அவளோ இருக்காது நா:avalo irukathu na</tamil> singapore lah <tamil>இருக்க:iruka</tamil> hawker centres


those things are like very important to me you know like my my friends my family everything is here for me like so, but


uh, all very important things uh before you make a decision


uh, so if, so


, err for me eh my favourite subject it's physics and uh physics


for me also my physics grade was like F nine only uh like not very good at all and it wasn't very good in well, so


and it's something that I may look forward to in the future, and but if I I still have a lot to learn <tamil>எனக்கு இன்னு நெரய:enaku innu neraya</tamil> things <tamil>இருக்கு:iruku</tamil> but


tom and jerry <tamil>தா பாப்ப:tha paapa</tamil> like, lunch uh <tamil>சாபுடும்போது:saapudumpothu</tamil> even when I'm doing anything tom and jerry is something that I will always be watching, and err I always my favourite character is I think nibbles


it's not even tom or jerry it's jerry's cousin because it reminded me a lot of myself, how I love cheese and just kept eating it so much, so for me it is something that I watched a lot in childhood, everywhere also and, I think it's my favourite childhood show for sure


what what about yourself


uh, so we're talking about uh, like, like so if I have this question about so like personally if if like what is your like what is your favourite food, what


for me definitely uh pizza


but, err <tamil>இப்ப ஒரு:ippa oru</tamil> day to day basis <tamil>பாத்தனா எனக்கு:paathana enaku</tamil> singaporeans food ah Kaayatos <tamil>தா என்:tha en</tamil> favourite


and two <tamil>அது ரொம்ப:athu romba</tamil> it's very tasty so I think it's something that is is very accessible and it's something that I love a lot


uh for me it's definitely football if it's a football fan I can talk with people for hours and


what about you


, err so <tamil>நீ சொன்ன நீ ஒரு பெரிய:nee sonna nee oru periya</tamil> basketball fan <tamil>பெரிய:periya</tamil> sport fan


and <tamil>எல்லாரு:ellaru</tamil> like everybody was just telling me it's going to be too stressful


then, ah <tamil>ஆனா அதனாலதா நா இப்ப வந்து:aana athanalatha na ippa vanthu</tamil> like <tamil>இந்த வருசத்த நா கொஞ்சோ கொஞ்சோ நாள்கு நா:intha varusatha na konjo konjo naalku na</tamil> joint <tamil>பன்ன யோசிச்சிட்டு இருக்க:panna yosichitu iruka</tamil> but I hope that I I will be able to you know join because the last time I tried they said that because due to the phase two of COVID we only can have certain number of players playing and


but I think that's uh football is something I really enjoy and I'll be I'll be happy uh train with our school's team and hopefully play against other schools


uh ya I think that's something that err I have developed like, then ah <tamil>அப்போ கொஞ்சோ பழகின:appo konjo palakina</tamil> then little bit tough ah <tamil>இருந்துச்சு:irunthuchu</tamil> but


and <tamil>அவங்களு வந்து ஒரு:avangalu vanthu oru</tamil> girls school lah <tamil>இருந்தா வந்திந்தாங்க:iruntha vanthinthanga</tamil> so <tamil>அப்போ அது நாங்கும்போதா எனக்கு வந்து சரி இவங்களு என்னமாரி என்னமாரிதா இருக்காங்களே பேச ஆரம்பிச்ச கொஞ்சோ கொஞ்சோ அப்பொ நமக்கு வந்து சில:appo athu naangumpotha enaku vanthu sari ivangalu ennamari ennamaritha irukaangale pesa aarambicha konjo konjo appo namaku vanthu sila</tamil> common interest <tamil>இருந்துதுனு நா பாத்த:irunthuthunu na patha</tamil> then


I felt that okay I can I can get along with them so yes I have really really close friends who are girls in our class so I think, I feel kind of satisfied, uh so for your side like I think you have been someone who's uh I thought were very outspoken but I realised you a bit


like you !wah! after you said you were a bit introverted and how like how do you think you have managed to overcome this problem through throughout, and not being able to approach people


err, weirdest thing that has happened to me is uh, once when I was uh overseas and I was in uh australia


are you are you alone <tamil>தா கேட்டு இருந்தாங்க ஆனா அவங்க சொன்ன:tha ketu irunthanga aana avanga sonna</tamil> action lah <tamil>வந்து எனக்கு:vanthu enaku</tamil> are you a lion


so, I just replied no which ended up to be the correct answer in the end, so but in the end I sat at a different table but when <tamil>நா வீட்டுக்கு போனதாளதா:na veetuku ponathalatha</tamil> I realised eh they were just asking me if I'm alone and not in the present so


ya sounds very interesting to be in I would say, so I think like what


oh <tamil>அப்டியா எனக்கு வந்து நா சின்ன வயசுல இருந்தே:apdiya enaku vanthu na sinna vayasula irunthe</tamil> cause sports club lah <tamil>இருந்திருக்க:irunthirukka</tamil> but, err


err like like football lah <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> foot compare to cricket <tamil>வந்து இன்னு ஜாஸ்தியா ஒவ்வொன்னு:vanthu innu jaasthiya ovvonu</tamil> so like


so <tamil>அது அதலா நெனைக்கும்போது எனக்கு எனக்கு ரொம்ப கஷ்டமா இருந்துச்சு:athu athala nenaikumpothu enaku enaku romba kastama irunthuchu</tamil> and then but, after a while I realised err, we uh this is why footballers are like so fit and so healthy and, ah you need to become like in the future and that's why I started you know trying to take better care of my body


since we are living in a multi diverse like multi-cultural society right,


do you think uh <tamil>மத்த:matha</tamil> culture <tamil>னால ஒனக்கு வந்து:nala onakku vanthu</tamil> uh do you feel do you feel influenced by other cultures or anything


so, when chinese new year comes right and since I have a lot of chinese friends


err especially during chinese new year, uh <tamil>நாங்க வீடு வீடா போவம்:nanga veedu veeda povam</tamil> lah, uh then when we go from house to house right


, uh we tend to play you know, uh Mahjong, then uh twenty one then #ban luck# and all the you know card games, and then


we will always ya we will play these card games and then you know we will gamble and stuff, and, I I believe these had some, err influence on me because I got addicted to it, not, addicted in the sense that I'm I'm spending a lot of time on it it's just that


it's a very addictive game to play with your friends and stuff, then furthermore since you know malay people in singapore especially they, uh during #hari raya# right ah


they they fast right, they fast for a period of time like one month or something right, then at that point of time you know, err at first I didn't when I came to singapore, when I was young I didn't know that you know you're supposed to uh you're supposed to like you know don't drink in front of them and all that


stuff lah, but then, after like you know my second primary school and secondary school education it's become uh like you know, way for me to respect them, when they are fasting so that I don't


uh basically you know respecting their, tradition and culture, so this is the influence I feel ah they have on me lah


ah <tamil>அதனால வந்து:athanala vanthu</tamil> when we when I tend to go out with my chinese or muslim friends right, they, just to make me feel like, you know it's all


like we, they respect us and I respect them all those kind of stuff like they don't eat beef in front of me so I feel respected because, you know, if someone eats beef in front of you, uh it's like I feel very uneasy because I'm not used to eating beef


so <tamil>என்:en</tamil> friends <tamil>இதட புரிஞ்சி வச்சுகிட்டு என் மின்னுக்கு வந்து:ithada purinji vachukittu en minnukku vanthu</tamil> beef <tamil>சாப்புடாம இருப்பாங்க:sappudama irupanga</tamil> so I feel I really feel very appreciated and I'm really thankful to have such friends, what about you


ya so I I, in in general right <tamil>நா வந்து:na vanthu</tamil> singapore lah இருக்குறதுக்கு irukkurathukku vanthu</tamil> I'm very thankful because, of the type of people we are surrounded with and everyone respects each other


so I'm very thankful for that, so right I've to tell you something that happened to me recently, recently <tamil>நா வந்து:na vanthu</tamil> err basketball <tamil>வெளையாண்டு நா வீட்டுக்கு வந்திட்டு இருந்தன்:velayantu na veettukku vanthittu irunthan</tamil> bus lah, then uh in


err, that guy he was like twenty years twenty plus years old he just, fell back, and then he landed near my leg you know I was standing at the you know


space to stand in the bus, he just fell back and then he landed at my leg area, then I was you know I was like awestruck lah basically, I I didn't know what to do, it it <tamil>அது வந்து ரொம்ப சீக்கிரமா நடந்துச்சி:athu vanthu romba seekkirama nadanthuchi</tamil> I was


like I bend, I bend down then I asked him what happened, if he's okay or not but then, uh <tamil>அவர்னால:avarnala</tamil> respond <tamil>பண்ண முடியல ஏன்னா வந்து:panna mudiyala eanna vanthu</tamil> then I think he was like you know, he was, it also total blank of for him


then, <tamil>அவரு கிட்ட நா கேள்வி கேட்டன்:avaru kitta na kelvi kettan</tamil> uh are you okay then the other people all like you know they crowded around him like in the bus the bus driver also stopped the bus and then he came to ah came to the person and then he asked if he's okay and stuff, but then, ah <tamil>அந்த கீழ விழுந்தவர் வந்து அவர்னால பதில் சொல்லவே முடியல ஏன்னா வந்து அவருக்கு வந்து:antha keela vilunthavar vanthu avarnala pathil sollave mudiyala eanna vanthu avarukku vanthu</tamil> you know like I said he was


blanked out, for a for a prolonged time at most forty five minutes at another one day eight hours in a negative Prata can deploy allendale they are undoable task ah, he managed to like you know start a conversation with him, after a while and then he was like, he asked her uh what happened to me, then


he was like, he had no clue about what happened, turns out he lives like very near me then <tamil>அதுக்கப்புறம் அந்த:athukkappuram antha</tamil> woman <tamil>வந்து சொன்னாங்க:vanthu sonnanga</tamil> , it's okay I'll <tamil>நா நா வந்து இவங்கள போய் வீட்ல விடுறன்:na na vanthu ivangala poai veetla viduran</tamil> then she

people you know, uh <tamil>நா ரொம்ப பேர் வந்து இந்த:na romba per vanthu intha</tamil> covid <tamil>னால வந்து ரொம்ப பயந்து போய் கெடக்காங்க:nala vanthu romba bayanthu poai kedakkanga</tamil> so if someone was to like get injured or anything, they will like think twice before helping and stuff right, especially in singapore because it's like you know, cause it's a very serious thing

like I'm living in a HDB right now right, then , you know having a bigger house is something that obviously I, want to achieve, and, ya first thing I'll do is to buy a bigger house


but, uh in in terms of buying that would be but if I if I were to get a million dollars obviously err I would


uh I feel like it's a necessary thing to do, and like you know I've I've seen a lot of videos on instagram and youtube


err <tamil>நெனைக்குரன்:nenaikkuran</tamil> if I get a million dollars, but even so when I grow up I'm I'm planning to, uh you know save a sum of money and then help the orphanage people


ah <tamil>நெனச்சி வச்சிருக்கன் பாப்பம்:nenachi vachirukkan pappam</tamil> oh, what about you


, like COVID was a big issue in singapore, what are the biggest problems that you faced during COVID


uh for me the biggest problems that I faced during COVID was, I will spend uh <tamil>என்னோட:ennoda</tamil> time <tamil>நா நெறைய வந்து வெளிய தான் செலவு பண்ணுவன்:na neraya vanthu veliya than selavu pannuvan</tamil> but being at home especially the two to three months of like you know lockdown


uh was it one month one plus two months of lockdown it was very very, ya it was very very tough for me because I, furthermore I'm a person who like you know just like you said, I'm a very active person <tamil>அதனால வீட்ல இருந்து ஏன்னா வந்து:athanala veetla irunthu eanna vanthu</tamil>


exercise <tamil>பண்ண முடியல:panna mudiyala</tamil> so I had planned out a workout routine like you know I watched youtube videos to like plan out a workout routine to like you know follow lah so that, I can at least like you know err, err keep myself fit even during COVID even though I still managed to put on some weight after COVID


ya err <tamil>அதுக்கப்புறம் வந்து:athukkappuram vanthu</tamil> err, COVID period lah <tamil>வந்து நா:vanthu na</tamil> school <tamil>க்கு போகும் போதெல்லாம் வந்து:kku pokum podellam vanthu</tamil> now like we have to wear mask everywhere and stuff right, which is a very very annoying thing because, for the past seventeen years of my life I'm not used to wearing mask then suddenly like everyday


you've everyday you're going out you have to wear mask and stuff it's a very tough thing to do, and like, sometimes I find it very hard to breathe breathe also like


we're working towards a better uh better state right now like, these are the biggest problems I faced but


it's for the betterment of the society


oh past seventeen years okay, who has a, good stamina lah better better than average students in singapore basically I would say, uh so


err running is something that, I love to do in secondary school because you know


then past seventeen years <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> , ah ஓடுறதுல இருந்து எனக்கு வந்து நெறைய பரிசு கெடச்சு odurathula irunthu enakku vanthu neraya parisu kedachu irukku</tamil> then , I'm also a person who's very err, err very had like interested to participate in you know competitions such as err


maths olympics and stuff, last year I went the national geographic err geography, competition at uh national university of singapore


top fifty students like of, you have to sit down and write individual exams like over five hundred students and then, err I was I was able to get a bronze medal out of like you know top fifty students


ya, what about you


I would recommend everyone to like participate in a lot of competitions when they are growing up because it's, like you know getting used to like new environment and then <tamil>புதுப்புது விசயம் கத்துக்கும் போது நம்ம வந்து ஒரு நல்ல:puthupputhu visayam kathukkum pothu namma vanthu oru</tamil> uh we can become a better person,


err, ya, what is one thing that you decide to do if you could change one thing from your past


err for me <tamil>வந்து நீ சொன்ன மாறி:vanthu nee sonna maari</tamil> musical instruments but <tamil>ஆனா வந்து:aana vanthu</tamil> err, last time I used to go to learn piano


err which I stopped at stage one, ya I stopped learning piano at stage one because I I thought that I got bored of it and I stopped but, err my mum bought a piano and then there's a piano in my house and like you know nobody is using it then like


then you know I I like managed to like get a grasp of it like quite fast


so like, if there's one thing I would have, uh one thing I could do to change the past will be like you know, continuing my piano lessons so I can become better at like you know piano now that I stopped piano lessons, it's like


it was fast it was like easy for me to grasp the new uh techniques and stuff like the techniques that I used to learn last time but, there's always this like you know empty space in my in my in my mind like, that I should have just continued playing piano when I was younger so that I could be better at it right now


like with any songwriters right


I would choose to spend my time with, , okay I I'm a person who loves blackpink a lot, especially jennie from blackpink, so if there's like one day that I would like to one person I would like to spend my whole day with it'll be


ah jennie <tamil>கூட தான் ஏன்னா வந்து:kooda than eanna vanthu</tamil> she's my idol, and I just love her very much man, and like, uh if I would to spend one one day with a, music writer or composer it would definitely be jennie


, err <tamil>அடுத்ததா வந்து:aduthatha vanthu</tamil>


uh <tamil>நா வந்து:na vanthu</tamil> after A levels <tamil>நா என்ன செய்யலாம்னு நெனச்சு இருகன்னா:na enna seyyalamnu nenachu irukanna</tamil> I'm going to join a basketball club


with one of our classmates and then uh, uh ah then I'm going to like you know improve myself to be a better basketball player, ya then other than that I'm planning to work to save some money before going NS


because you know NS they pay very little <tamil>அதனால வந்து நா வந்து:athanala vanthu na vanthu</tamil> uh, money safe <tamil>பண்ணி வச்சிருக்கனும்னு நெனைக்குரன்:panni vachirukkanumnu nenaikkuran</tamil> then I'm going to like, , ya so that when I grow up like after a few years after my university I can like


cute corgi over there which is very cute and then like, I wanted to go there and I'm planning to go there like, within a few weeks to come, ya <tamil>அங்க போனா வந்து:anga pona vanthu</tamil> they give you a free drink


which is a very cute thing, , obviously because I'm a dog person


because golden retriever <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> is a, dog too and it's like a very family, family orientated dog


uh what about you


uh <tamil>அது வந்து நல்லா வந்து நம்ம வந்து:athu vanthu nalla vanthu namma vanthu</tamil> take care <tamil>பண்ணிக்கணும்:pannikkanum</tamil> singapore lah <tamil>பாத்தா வந்து நெறயப்பேர் வந்து:patha vanthu nerayapper vanthu</tamil> err <tamil>அவங்களோட:avangaloda</tamil> pets ah <tamil>வந்து சும்மா வந்து:vanthu summa vanthu</tamil> uh they just let their pets go out into the wild then some pets don't know how to like you know survive in the


ya and it's a crime to let go of your pets in singapore especially dogs I think right


ya so my well I'm destination would probably probably as of now be a Bali but when I grow up I'm definitely willing to try las because, you treat them badly and then you just let them go they trusted in you but then like, you didn't you didn't like you know


<tamil>ரொம்ப கொவம்படுத்துற விசயமா இருக்கு:romba kovampaduthura visayama irukku</tamil> what about you


it's a very nice place to live in with your family like a very stress, very less stress place very stressless place


then like the place there is also cheaper as compared to singapore, and like uh the place there is more affordable


then right at the start of sec three my chemistry wasn't good, it was, uh F nine grade and around there


uh chemistry <tamil>நா எங்க போனாலும்:na enga ponalum</tamil> , I'll try to figure out if there's any chemistry involved in the, things happening around me or not


, quantum physics is uh we're going to study about the loopholes in our, entry and stuff right to another like there's this belief there's another dimension in time or something like that


so


, <tamil>அடுத்ததா வந்து உன்ட கேக்கப்போறது என்னன்னா வந்து:aduthatha vanthu unta kekkapporathu ennanna vanthu</tamil> what was your favourite uh childhood show,


uh <tamil>என்னோட:ennoda</tamil> favourite childhood show it's definitely mister bean, mister bean is something that I used to watch


like you said it's everyday it's my everyday routine like after kindergarten I will come back home and I will watch and I will watch, mister uh mister bean while my mum is like feeding me food, uh <tamil>அதுக்கப்புறம் வந்து:athukkappuram vanthu</tamil> mister bean <tamil>ஏன் புடிச்சு இருக்குனா வந்து:ean pudichu irukkuna vanthu</tamil> he's a very funny guy


who who doesn't like, he's more of a action than words guys but more towards the actions than you know, involving words in his actions err involving word words in his comedy and stuff, so I really liked him as a person he's also a very nice person in


in real life and his shows is also very nice so that was my go to childhood show when I was young, ya


oh personally my favourite food, uh personally my favourite food will be malaysian Penang Laksa


the malaysian Penang Laksa is, is, is a delicacy especially in Penang right Penang malaysia, and uh and I really love it, and it's very hard for me to find uh that food in singapore


so my favourite food is Asam Laksa Penang one what is your favourite food


, Kayathos


err what is that one thing that you can talk about for hours if you were to talk about ah talk about it with someone


err, for me it will definitely be about basketball, frantic about basketball


Ansafa <tamil>பண்றோம் யாரு:panrom yaru</tamil> win <tamil>பண்ணப்போறா:pannappora</tamil> sometimes we even like you know place bets on, like season ending like you know the finals like we even place bets on different teams to see which team would win


err <tamil>நா கண்டிப்பா வந்து:na kandippa vanthu</tamil> school lah <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> basketball team <tamil>வெளையாடனும்:velaiyadanum</tamil> err <tamil>போன ஒனே நா யோசிச்சு இருந்தன் ஆனா வந்து:pona oney na yosichu irunthan aana vanthu</tamil> the main reason why I didn't want to go for our school's basketball team is because the trials was


very, , very demanding I would say the trials was too err err running two point four even though I'm a person who runs two point four on that day of my trial it was raining and like, I was like already playing basketball before that so it it was it will be very tough for me to go for trials right after playing a tiring day ah of basketball


so I just I just decided to skip it, and I'm a person who likes to play basketball as a passion and when it comes to like you know competition competition wise and like, , playing with my teammates against another school, uh it'll be very tough for me to handle that kind of situation


, so it's not it's not easy for you to like you know talk to girls so how do you get over that


that obstacle of not you know being able to talk to girls at first, then like is there any girls girl like you know close to in our class


err, the problem of being introverted okay, that's a very, ya that's a very tough question but like, okay I'm a person who, at first when I when I, started schooling I'm a person like you know like you said I'm introvert right


so <tamil>என்ன செய்ய ஆரம்பிச்சனா வந்து:enna seyya aarambichana vanthu</tamil> err


you know be less introverted but until now I'm still learning, which, I hope to overcome uh one day, like


bring about myself to talk to new people, ah future lah <tamil>பாப்பம்:pappam</tamil> err <tamil>இன்னும்:innum</tamil> maybe I will become a more extroverted person, <tamil>அடுத்ததா உன்ட வந்து கேக்கப்போறது வந்து:aduthatha unta vanthu kekkapporathu vanthu</tamil>


but what is the weirdest or most unexplainable thing that has ever happened to you


for me uh it's like when I was overseas, , basically it was malaysia lah uh my father drove us to malaysia and then like you know we, we were at a supermarket and then we were shopping


we we accidentally somehow managed to go to carpark B which is on the opposite side of the of on the opposite side of the mall, and <tamil>அதுக்கப்புறம் நாங்க வந்து எங்க:athukkappuram nanga vanthu enga</tamil> car eh <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> search <tamil>பண்ணிட்டு இருந்தம்:pannittu iruntham</tamil> then we couldn't find our car so we thought our car was like you know stolen in malaysia


so we were like walking around for thirty minutes we called the security and then we, you know, then luckily one of the security managed to identify our car and then he said


oh, but this is carpark B, then we like found it so silly and weird that, we managed to come to the wrong carpark and then, went to the other carpark and then we took our car it was really a


a memorable experience


uh err actually I went for one training, err, in a basketball club and it was really really tiring because we played five V five


match <tamil>அதனால வந்து:athanala vanthu</tamil> err


and then err you know I was telling you about our classmate, who is going to join the club with me, he also went for club training before and then he said


ah <tamil>ஒவ்வொரு:ovvoru</tamil> training <tamil>அதனால வந்து:athanala vanthu</tamil> you must give your hundred percent, so uh, I'm trying to condition my body to like you know withstand this kind of situation


what about you


(mm) this is very interesting and like


yo hello, ya I'm good man I just watched a movie today


it's called the green mile have you heard of it, the green mile it was a, I'm not sure when it was but it was by tom hanks and it was, it was actually a novel by stephen king before that I didn't even know


ya, sorry, hehe ya, hehe, class of twenty nineteen if I'm not wrong


ya dude dude the movie is crazy man, it's it was three hours long and I thought cause I didn't know what I was watching like it was just on my recommended when I logged in to netflix, then I just clicked on it and I was like, damn confused lah for the first hour


cause I was like I expected it to be the classic, ya I expected it to be like, you know like classic ah <tamil>அவ வந்து:ava vanthu</tamil> prison lah <tamil>இருந்து:irunthu</tamil> escape <tamil>பன்னி:panni</tamil> that kind of movie like unexpected some escape from Alcatraz kind of thing, and then all of a sudden


ya haha, !huh! wait have you watched the movie, okay okay, so


ya ya, okay I can see why what I just said may have confused you , but but


this guy called john coffey, he is wrongfully convicted of murder, and then <tamil>அவன வந்து தூக்கி:avana vanthu thooki</tamil> jail lah <tamil>போட்ருவாங்க:potruvanga</tamil> then the main character tom hanks is a jail warden, so


ya, so then, they, basically like, uh tom hanks <tamil>பாப்பா:paapa</tamil> cause this guy is a huge man he's like two meter tall like three hundred pound buff like absolutely jack man


he's african american, ya <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> ya lah it's obviously very discriminatory, so no but tom hanks is a nice guy tom hanks is a nice guy lah when he sees him he doesn't hold any prejudice and


like when he first sees him he's like alright big boy you going to give us any trouble, and he's like uh no no sir he's terrified basically which is odd lah


ah mah ah mah


exactly so <tamil>அவனோட:avanoda</tamil> case file ah <tamil>எடுத்து பாத்தா:eduthu paatha</tamil> apparently, apparently he raped and murdered two little girls that's what the case file state, no no no <tamil>ஆனா:aana</tamil> like then tom hanks is a bit


obviously suspicious lah because this guy looks so, he just looks like such a nice guy he does not look like someone who, is capable of committing such a crime


and the basically the circumstances for how he was caught was that he, they saw him holding the two little girls all bloodied up and he was just crying he was holding them in his arms and he was crying, and they thought he did the crime, so it's a bit suspicious ya it's a bit suspicious


so , in the movie tom hanks he has a UTI and he's just suffering all the time and, no no no okay the significance comes in like now I'm going to say now


so john coffey this, this guy he, ah, uh ah UTI lah <tamil>அவ வந்து:ava vanthu</tamil> , <tamil>எப்பைல இருந்தா அவ அந்தமாரி பிரச்சனலா பாத்துட்டு இருக்கா தெரியுமா:eppaila iruntha ava anthamari pirachinala paathutu iruka theriyuma</tamil> , <tamil>பத்ருவா வாங்கினா:pathruva vaangina</tamil> <tamil>சம்மயா செஞ்சி குடுப்பா:sammaya senji kuduppa</tamil>


no essentially what he did was what he has is some sort of healing power, okay like, ya it's supernatural stuff you know, and


, ya ya ya, legit so, so he and none of them knew this so he grabbed tom hanks like one day he was just like boss I need to talk to you and then tom hanks goes up to his cell and then he just


uh the guy just grabs tom hanks through the through the grills and then everyone scared lah and then the other inmates were like ah john's killing them and shit like that, as the ya then, when they actually, so he puts his hand over his


uh, you know crotch area and then he he take out the illness okay, so after that, tom hanks is cured and, he was, confused you know rightfully so he was like


what did you do to me and he was like I I took the pain away boss , and, at this point tom hanks becomes even more skeptical lah like he's like how can someone so nice and so genuinely concerned, for other people have done something so vile


and, that's where, the story develops lah and, it's I mean the rest of the story just goes on to say how, he's actually a nice person and he's been he's actually been wrongfully committed


of the crime and, it's of course it's sad lah there's a there's a lot of stuff in, ya the one where he gets electrocuted right


ya it's really it's really very sad lah, let you go just let you free see how far you can get


like a few days before his execution, and john's like now why would you go and do something like that boss, and then john's like, when I'm when I stand before god and I am judged for my time on earth, how will I


how will I justify, how will I justify to him that I killed one of his greatest miracles I sent one of his greatest miracles to death, and, ya it's very impactful, and


so john will say, I it's okay I've I've done my I've done my time on earth like I can't take it there's too much pain, there's too much pain around us too much, no no no no john's the


the inmate, ya he just says there's too much pain and suffering around the world, I I can see all of it I really cannot take it, and he was like I just want to go you know


it's it's very sad lah, but it's really worth a watch, and, ya and actually it's the first time, oh ya how long ah like


I mean like book in morning then come out at night right, like you book out everyday right, nice nice, ya is is the


ya ya then friday off


ya actually <tamil>நா வந்து:na vanthu</tamil> in the entire, ya, Shiok right


so, ya perfect lah, this, like this movie was watching this movie was the first time I've actually wanted to, read the book based on the movie you know


it was that good like if, no no no I want to, ya, there's a lot of really good characters in it, no nothing's stopping me I just haven't gotten to it gotten around to it


ah ya ya just download lor PDF, ya ya ya ya I know what you mean


it's, it has the proper format but it's hard to find, ya, cause some of them, some of them that I find online are, they are converted from scanned versions of the of the physical book so it's not exactly


no no no it's Epub format but it's just the scan version of the book so the formating is way of you know, ya, but you know actually in the movie even though is based on a


a real event you know, this kid called george, george stinley stinley or stinney I forgot the name, he was ya he was fourteen years old and he was convicted for the murder


of two young girls, and, and ya he so he was the youngest person to ever be sent to the electric chair, there's even photos of it it's so sad it's just a kid crying while being strapped to the electric chair can you imagine


and, ya and , you know seventy years after he was uh killed, they they found out that, he was innocent like obviously you know


and because basically the the murder weapon was, about twenty kilograms, and there was no way that a fourteen year old could, hold such a weight, and if


I don't know an anvil , , ya, I mean I guess maybe like a dumb bell or something I'm not sure man


a really heavy crowbar, , he be doing the farmer's works ,


ya is, dude


ya I don't even know man, but ya it was like everything is based off of something so stephen king got inspired by that to write the book, the movie was inspired by stephen king, who's going to be inspired by the movie maybe you and me


, it's so sad man it's it's the absurdity of it all anything, any vile, like completely screwed up thing you can think up


you can cook up in your mind has probably happened in the world, oh wrongfully wrongfully sending a fourteen year old to the electric chair, yup it's happened before like who who could who can imagine, ya


ya bad things happen to good people it's just the fact


ya, ya I feel like, like morality in itself is invented by humans what there's nothing that dictates that


a certain action is good or bad except for other humans, ya it's it's like murder is murder is bad but, is murdering hitler bad, you know there's so many what ifs


ya it's an animals don't care about, morality you know


right, oh ya dolphins are messed up man , god


(mmhmm), ya


(mmhmm), ya, I just, I don't have an answer for you man you know


cause, I feel like to me morality in itself is, extremely subjective, which is why, I don't think you can define it to a set list of values that are universally true it's really a case by case basis


but, but even so I think, wrongfully, ya


ya, right right, (mmhmm)


, ya I just realised you're christian but, ya ya ya as in


without, like just in terms of my me talking about my own religion I feel like, I mean from what I know it's not a very persuasive religion they don't say things like if you don't if you don't come to the temple every


everyday you're going to go to hell they don't have ultimatums like that, like to me, or the way I like to, envision religion the way I like to think religion should work, cause I don't think that I'm a perfect hindu you know


I just follow religion to make sure that, it keeps me a decent human being you know, it keeps me grounded in a certain set of


values and morals that ensure that I don't, uh stray too far from what's, considered you know , being righteous you know, and I feel like that's all religion is really there for it's just a set of rules that


people are forced to follow, <tamil>என்ட இந்த:enda intha</tamil> religion ah <tamil>பாத்தாலுமே:paathalume</tamil> it makes sense right, it's just, I mean, I don't I don't know about any higher beings or anything like that I can't confirm or deny it


but, one possible theory that could be true is that, it was a set of rules made by people that were smarter than the rest to control the masses, and control in I mean in a dystopian sense it could be you can talk about it as controlling but in a more you know


optimistic sense it's simply to make sure that, human beings remain humane, you know


, ah mah


, ya


ya, ya,


ya definitely, Rislan <tamil>கு இந்தமாரி விஷயத்துக்குலா போக புடிக்காது ஏனா:ku inthamari visayathukula poka pudikathu yena</tamil> dangerous you know , dangerous


I mean <tamil>சிலபேருக்கு புடிக்காது இந்தமாரிலா பேசினா:silaperuku pudikkathu inthamarila pesina</tamil>ya, it's like that very, ,


no I'm just I mean, , I'm just speaking what's on my mind man,


, week or two (hmm) I'll say not much lah life I feel like life is life is settling into a routine which


uh good and bad lah for the most part I just go to work come back spend time with my family for a bit, you know eat, watch a movie something come, ya


part of the the big part of of the routine you know,


call of duty bro, play modern warfare, ya ya and, warzone also


really, ya, oh shit, uh, , I got like twenty wins lah I would say I'm, I


ya I would say I'm I play aggressive lah I don't like to sit around and camp in the building, my play style is rooted in, you know seeing there's there's someone over there let's go kill him, I don't like to sit back and


let things happen, and you, ya sure man


, ya ya definitely


, definitely man I feel like I feel like gaming definitely brings out the the worst in people


ya, , but I mean I think it's also the, I don't I don't I don't even think it's about how you're raised I think it's just in general no one likes to lose no one likes to be a loser


and if you're


, I think, ya lah, , but <tamil>என்ன பொறுத்த வரைக்கு அப்டி ஒரு:enna porutha varaiku apdi oru</tamil> <tamil>அப்டி ஒரு:apdi oru</tamil> stakes <tamil>இருக்குரதுனால தான ஒனக்கு அந்த:irukurathunala thana onaku antha</tamil> jolly eh <tamil>வருது:varuthu</tamil> it's the the highest only is high because the lowest are it's low you know


I mean if winning was so easy, what's what's so fun about it, ya


the enjoyment is in the, it's, you know a bit in the uniqueness I mean uh what it how do you phrase it, it's in the fact that you can say you are one amongst the very small pool of people that can say they have won


that's one thing, and another, ya, ya ya, , ya ya


, I think cause I feel like warzone is way more luck based


, there's a there's a there's, a bigger element of luck than there is skill, definitely, just because of, the positionings you can get caught up in, the, the ways you can get


you know destroyed by someone just because they managed to pick up a weapon first, I mean it's it's similar to pub G but, there's no health region in pub G right so, at least in that sense, someone can't just reset the fight after camping in a corner away from your view


ohya, definitely


but <tamil>என்ன பொறுத்த வரைக்கு:enna porutha varaiku</tamil> warzone is the best battle royale out there, because, fortnite


ya, I <tamil>சத்தியமா:sathiyama</tamil> he I swear you have to spend like a thousand hours before you can get good at that game it's so sweaty you know ya fortnite


bro <tamil>அந்த சின்ன பசங்கதா நாளுக்கு பத்து நேரோ பத்து மணி நேரோ வெளயாடுவாங்க:antha sinna pasangatha naaluku paththu nero paththu mani nero velayaduvanga</tamil> , you know, because there's


all you have to do is you have to focus on gun play, and movement that's it, but <tamil>இப்பொ:ippo</tamil> fortnite lah <tamil>பாத்திங்கனா:paathingana</tamil> you have gun play, I mean to put it crudely lah


but fortnite lah <tamil>பாத்திங்கனா:paathingana</tamil> you have gun play you have movement you have building you have editing you have, I don't know what even uh else you have it's a lot lah, building and editing is a


no no no have you have you never played fortnite before, like are you aware of the building mechanics, , I'm not sure how I can describe it I think video <tamil>பாத்தாதா தெரியு:paathatha theriyu</tamil> basically you can build structures to


protect yourself lah in a in a fight, and like build the building back so it's like some some somehow someone erected a damn building in front of you


and then went back into their building before you even had a chance to react, ya that's why is like it's not fun, definitely


ya , #ah ma#


so <tamil>அப்டி வெளயாடும்போது பெரும்பாலுமா:apdi velayadumpothu perumpaaluma</tamil> I'll play, depending on how many people are, around lah so, most of the time it's trios or quads


oh okay okay, three is the I think quads is too much you know you don't have enough ammo


ohya it's it's uh lesser stakes also I feel, because, because uh you just, ya you were saying


really I mean I always thought of it as you have more people to share your kills with so you yourself won't get as many, that's how I saw it,


, , right


right, definitely, but <tamil>நா இப்ப தனியா வெளயாடுரன்னா:na ippa thaniya velayaduranna</tamil> I prefer to play duos like alone in those compared to solos


you're not, no lah it's not about challenge it's just that I feel like solos is more challenging than duos, cause cause <tamil>நீ:nee</tamil> solos


but with duos people are more daring they will be more willing to challenge you, I feel like it's easier that way


definitely lah but I think it's, I mean it's lesser if you


independently have less to lose, cause you have a, cause you have a teammate to rely on to just buy you back


ya it is I mean I never say that I will make it to that stage I just say I like playing, it's I mean I'd rather have a have a very short game, with a, like like an invigorating start than a very long drawn out game where I just die immediately


ya I mean it's it's just a game you know there's no right or wrong attitude of how you want to play,


(hmm) , I mean, think about it I mean hacking and griefing isn't even considered playing the game you know


, no end of the day I think <tamil>ரொம்ப முக்கியமானது:romba mukkiyamanathu</tamil> is that is supposed to have fun right, but I feel like the they really kill it with the mechanics they implement right cause you know there's this thing called skill based matchmaking


are you aware, ya


ah <tamil>அப்டி வெளயாடினா:apdi velayadina</tamil>


, okay, but I heard of CDL I don't know what it stands for, right right


okay, #ah ma#


ya ya definitely, #ah ma#,


ya, ya, but I mean, I think it takes away the chance for a game to be


casual, it if I just want to sit down and, have a laugh with my friends while playing a game it doesn't allow for that cause I'm forced to try my hardest at every avenue


they do but not in warzone you know in warzone it's just warzone it's a, collective pool of people, but that's what it should be you know it should be a a large pool of people where you cannot predict, how the next person is going to be it shouldn't be a case where


you just have this guy that's, I mean you you just facing against guys that are as good or as good as or better than you you should have some people that are worse than you you know


ya it's my my take on it,


ya, but I mean it's uh, ya, dude uh


[dey] <tamil>நா சொல்ர நா வந்து:na solra na vanthu</tamil> uh, you know I tried to you know change my perspective about life and what not just try to live in the moment instead of


you know constantly like what we're doing now lah just thinking about, how I'm wasting my life and all this and I swear, yesterday was the most I wouldn't even say happiness I will just say relief, I felt, in at least the past six months


you know I just, I somehow just managed to be completely removed from all of these like arbitrary worries, and I just managed to like, I have no idea cause I'm back to my to my horrible mindset of


self deprecation again and I don't know how to go back to that, that state where I could actually enjoy being alive you know cause, I don't know like I was just


as in I had a I had a talk actually I had a talk with my my dad about my, mindset about things you know, and, after that talk this was like two days after that yesterday was two days after that


I somehow achieved this sense of clarity, where, I realised that I could, like I didn't have to put so much pressure on myself and I could still be happy, ya so


, that's quite nice and then I was like oh I went and fixed up a sound bar to my room I fixed up a HDMI cable, you know it's I I felt like I


it's it's I feel like everything is just the mindset lah, and yesterday I was able to, adopt this mindset where I could tell myself okay, whatever I'm doing is genuinely


it's it's worth something you know I don't have to be doing something productive all the time to feel productive, that was liberating and I wish I knew how to go back to that mental state


cause, as in you know that's the thing


doing it and I always have the opportunity to do it it's just that, the things that I enjoy doing, I, personally define as unproductive, so <tamil>எப்போவுமே:eppovume</tamil> I will enjoy myself for maybe


nagging doubts you know, and


that obviously detracts from being able to, live life, ya, feel like, it's it's just a mindset thing you know it's


ya, what do you think


and, ya, ya <tamil>அதனாலதா:athanalatha</tamil> , that's not what I'm saying it's


it's all about changing that mindset and convincing myself that, I am allowed to have fun you know I'm allowed to enjoy myself once in awhile, I don't have to always beat myself up over


not create inventing the cure for cancer or whatever, ya,


ya actually ya <tamil>நீ வந்து நீ சொன்னது:nee vanthu nee sonnathu</tamil> it puts it perfectly it's just, you I feel like I have so much, unrealized potential that I'm not putting to good use, you know


<tamil>சத்தியமா நம்ம:sathiyama namma</tamil> retire <tamil>பன்ர வரைக்கு:panra varaiku</tamil> we're not going to get it , you know, and it's a it's a real period for self discovery and


it's two ways to look at it one is, to genuinely you know change your life whatever whatever another is to just, take things easy man, but what I'm trying to tell myself is those two don't have to be mutually exclusive


you see, you don't have to, like productivity doesn't have to be depressing , ya


, you know I was I, I think I, watched fight club recently and one, , ya bro of course


isn't it M eighteen, well then, it's not so bad what, I mean the green mile was eighteen


ya but they also they also nail the the existential crisis and feeling of uh


you know is feeling of being trapped that every, millennial male is suffering from today you know just being lost in status and, or, wait I he didn't offer a lot of solutions you know


it's it's not exactly the solutions but just the awareness of your own, situation what you can do to, of course his solutions were, a bit extreme, but, you can definitely take the principles into


into consideration, when you try to, he said, he said , actually <tamil>எனக்கு:enaku</tamil> correct ah <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> code <tamil>மறந்துருது:maranthuruthu</tamil> but the gist of it is that he said done is better than perfect you know if you doing something


just being able to say that you finished it, it's better than, perfection because you will never achieve perfection but at least you will be able to say that you've completed something, cause you think about it how many times in life have you, not done something because


you are telling yourself, I am waiting for myself to do it perfectly but you will never reach that point, you get that, ya


and, that's a, it's quite life changing lah if you can truly apply it you know


and I feel like that's very relevant to us in our society, cause we are obsessed with perfection and being the best, ya


ya, oh really, , dude I'm not


oh the one with the, the one with the buildings falling right, , ya


, ya man, ya actually <tamil>நா இப்ப:na ippa</tamil> recent ah


the filmmaking culture and what not, it's it's really, commendable stuff you know, if you look at all these


uh, conventional you know, I don't know how to describe it just these people that have been described as great by, most of society like Tarantino, I don't know man I don't know is there any other prominent directors names


ya night Shyamalan I don't know, , what no, why would I be related to night Shyamalan


I don't think it was me man, no no no


ya, is he


ya, ya definitely, I mean, honestly it, it takes a lot to make a good film but at the same time it doesn't take a lot to make a profitable film


like you look at look at any dwayne johnson movie look at bay watch, things are people just eat up, a lot of action you know


, any of #tarantino#'s movie is they are popular but they are not nearly as popular as


you know all these action, action films like mission impossible, fast and furious ya all of it, and they have sequels because the formula works you know


ya, I mean, it's like I would say, it, it doesn't offer as much you know story development as say


shaft you know, because at it's heart at the heart of it it's just another, you know shoot them up kind of type of film you just, this man that's a that's a badass that kills people


and, he's he has the entire world against him you know but he still somehow comes out on top, ya, and people like that


okay


ya, ya


okay, so it's like their maintenance movies


no I haven't, okay, nah man, I've have only recently got into films


I have a lot of catching up to do ya, ah


so it's kind of a bit like a, would I be right to say it's a bit like the platform maybe


like the formula, I mean by that logic the platform, okay, I mean if there's no format then anything could


would technically be, post cinema right


okay uncut gems, ya, ah it's fine it's fine


may I came I mean, (ppc)


, !huh!,


, , , everyday of the week right they will make us run at least


run march jog you know R M J at least ten KM per day, and you know, jump ah I thought is jog, okay lah but <tamil>நா சொல்ர:na solra</tamil> run must jog at least ten KM a day


and the majority of it will be majority of it would be, running you know unfortunately, I mean <tamil>மொதல்ல மொதல்ல போனப்பொ அந்த மொதல் ரெண்டு வாரத்துல ஒரு நாளைக்கு காலைல போய்:mothalla mothalla ponapo antha mothal rendu vaarathula oru naalaiku kaalaila poy</tamil> report <tamil>பன்னா:panna</tamil> okay morning PT <tamil>பன்ரோ:panro</tamil> err

<tamil>சாய்ங்காலத்துல:saaingaalathula</tamil> okay maybe we get to do some calisthenics which is, a lot better than having to run at least for me, no now we are going for five KM light jog


light joke <tamil>ண்டு நா சாவுர நெலமைல வெளில வருவ:ndu na saavura nelamaila velila varuva</tamil> because they know I'm not good with running


for recovery and then start the next set you know there's no sitting down the whole time you're moving, ya which, I mean it has it's merits but


you know my legs were just, I


my hamstrings felt like, genuinely felt like rubber bands that were going to snap, for an entire week after even after I my surgery and everything, like there's reason


I had appendicitis, appendectomy ya they remove my appendix, apply ah


by the way


(uh huh), (uh huh) , ya


holy crap

I have never wanted to curb stomp a, a a what do you call it a fictional character so much in my life before, he's generally deplorable the things he does I don't want to I don't want to spoil it but it's it's really messed up stuff


actually heartless I mean he gets what's coming for him but, it's really bad man (ppo), he plays his role amazingly you really forget that it's an actor you just you just like how can a a person be so vile that's all that goes through your mind

okay, okay, (mmhmm)


oh, that's a nice line, ya


john is uh tom hanks ah, oh inmate okay


(mmhmm), okay, ya I think I think I'll I think I'll watch it tonight, I got to I got to book in tomorrow well you know

I'll be ya same as you I'll be at home everyday, but you know uh it's been a long weekend so, plus this week is only three and a half days I think, uh <tamil>இன்னிக்கு நாளைக்கு:innikku nalaikku</tamil> then christmas <tamil>கு:k</tamil> half day

!wow!, ya off ah, oh then you just ya moved around okay fair ha, alright, ya I guess


(uh huh), have you read the book, but you haven't read it, what's stopping you, no as in like do you have the book oh are you going to download it or what like a Ebook or


E-book ah, no don't get PDF dude I I realized right the best format for reading books online is Epub E P U B, ya ya that's so much better especially if you have like uh ibooks like I mean if you use an iphone right it's so


highly compatible with uh ibooks, ya, Epubs,


oh right right no ya then then then there'll be a PDF, right


yo uh, are you for real, oh


!aww! man that's, that's a ya


uh the judicial system is, is slow, wait wait wait wait hold on hold on what's a twenty kilogram murder weapon


oh like that twenty kilogram murder weapon like I mean, the kid is like kudos to the real murderer you know actually he's been working it out at the gym man gains for days man


I mean even if it's a dumb bell a twenty kilogram dumb bell is, you know to swing it at someone and all that you know ah, ya man's man's pass his IPPT you know, it's uh quite quite mad


twenty kilogram murder weapon what it's a twenty kilogram murder weapon, you know I'm just trying to think of like possibilities that you could kill someone with a twenty kilogram object


ya, uh ya Imma Imma go and pick up a twenty kilogram object real quick


, but ya !wow! to it's a really sad story,


you know what, I will not challenge it one eh, who would have thought ya


ah ya you're right it's just very absurd I was going to reference this uh, concept from, the the whole the whole uh, expecting


expecting fairness in life is just absurd man, expecting err uh, nope I've I've you know that's that's where I I disagree it's not bad things happen to good people I think bad things happen full stop


to to everyone and everyone and like there's nothing you can do to control that you know it's like to think that, we have some understanding over the predictability or the nature of life I I say it's it's foolishness, you know


ya, ya, except what we as a society determine ya, no first of all first of all what's what why is murder bad who said murder is bad you know


like from the very beginning ya animals okay I mean, but then again animals right like apart from apart from the exception of a few, like dolphins or monkeys or whatever most of them don't kill they only kill for food, you know


so that's another thing to think of but I mean sure we can we can okay assuming that, ya, dude but assuming that uh like , err what do you call that like murdering is isn't like uh unethical right assuming just assume


K murdering isn't unethical you just start off with, uh animals right they kill one another they kill different animals for food correct, so assuming murder is unethical not unethical then if you were killing


to benefit yourself now it may not be for food it could be for money, which will ultimately lead you to having food maybe for benefit of your life, would would would that not be the same concept as murdering for food, will that not be the same thing as killing for for a for for a meal like animals do


, (uh huh)


right, ya, but as universally we've agreed on social side on some general, you know rules of conduct if you were to put it that way well like you know don't kill


don't steal, you know uh don't rape uh very very blatant things, but also that that one is uh partially to do with religion also, like in a lot of these societies they don't think of the law they don't think of what's right or wrong they don't explore right they just say oh


you do this <tamil>சாமி கண்ண குத்திரும்:sami kanna kuthirum</tamil> right you do this you know god will send you to hell these kind of things, if you really sit down and think about it it's like you know, it's just, certain things is it it makes you think <tamil>என்ன ஒரு ஒரு கேள்வி கேப்பன்:enna oru oru kelvi keppan</tamil> uh usually I like to talk about this is


did religions come from, uh sorry did uh is morale derivative of religions or is religion derivative of moral, you know, ya, so I don't know


(uh huh)


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), right


okay, (uh huh), (uh huh)


yup, , yup,


(mmhmm), (mmhmm), (uh huh)


(mmhmm), ya, ya I mean that that's that's what happened with the in england right with the


protestants the the the the the king, launched the crusade can can they use a catholic church to go kill the peasants, kill kill people who who don't follow the king's orders and everything, and I mean it's it's it's a holy crusade in the name of god or whatever but


end of the day I ya you're right man it's a it's a political to do this for control


I think, ya if you if you can center yourself spiritually, and you know yourself spiritually I feel like you know, uh because at the end of the day the the principles that are advocated for right within any religion there are <tamil>அதலாம் நல்ல பழக்கம் இல்ல:athalam nalla palakkam illa</tamil> and uh


you know generally you know it's like discipline love forgiveness and that kind of thing, so the world would be I mean not okay I won't say the world you know again one is moral one is ethical, but I think society the the society that we've created and the one that we live in


ya, I don't know


what's dangerous, oh <tamil>இத பத்தி பேசுறது இத பத்தி பேசுறது:itha pathi pesurathu itha pathi pesurathu</tamil> ah ya ya ya, ya


, uh <tamil>நாங்க ரெண்டு பேருமு:nanga rendu perumu</tamil> <tamil>நாங்க ரெண்டு பேரும் எந்த மதத்தையும் சேர்ந்தவங்க கெடயாது:nanga rendu perum entha mathathayum sernthavanga kedayathu</tamil>


non stated agents , ya but okay man, I'm a <tamil>சரி இல்லடா:sari illada</tamil> nothing nothing, ah


yo what have you been doing over like the last week or two, like just recent recent times you know


ya, (mmhmm), oh ya that's a big one eat, , don't forget ah ya, ya <tamil>மறந்துறாத:maranthuratha</tamil>


call of duty <tamil>நீ வெளையாடுவியா:nee velaiyaduviya</tamil> which which COD do you play, modern like the the one before cold war is it


!wah! that's pretty cool man I play the same game also, oh warzone damn ya ya ya I do I do, what do you how do you play warzone you are aggressive or camper, you got lots of wins


twenty is is is pretty pretty decent, right


right, , nice man, we should play together sometime, ya I I I play warzone I'm uh I wouldn't say aggressive


cause you to a certain degree you have to be good at the game to be aggressive, but I I do push a lot, ya I like I mean I I is like it likewise you know I don't like to sit there for thirty minutes just to be shot by some camper you know


that's uh, it just becomes a massive waste of time, ya ya ya ya sometimes this game makes me think if I have like serious deep rooted anger issues or what, honestly


ya is ya is not easy to do, no but that's because you we we've been raised to be so competitive you know, like we cannot accept uh anything mediocre, right like if a bunch of males go out together and then just started playing mediocrely like why why would you want to be a part of that


you know, I just feel like when a, ya, true true that's that is oh ya


no but I mean you could you could you see right people could not like like they could lose they be like oh okay you know what I don't really like to lose and then stop playing the game, right but what do we do we sit down and then we we go at it and then we shout at the computer, you know


you know we blame everything, we we ya we go mad right <tamil>அந்த கோவம் அப்படியே அடக்கமுடியாத அடக்கமுடியாத ஒரு:antha kovam appadiye adakkamudiyatha adakkamudiyatha oru</tamil> , I I think was like


, debatable man, sometimes you know you just high, if winning was so easy what's so fun about it, err


right


okay I'll I'll tell you what uh you know you know pub G the pub G game it's also a battle royale right, I'm good at the game I'm pretty damn good at the game I can win whenever I want to you know, when the winner winner chicken dinner thing ya, but, I still enjoy the wins when I win I still think like oh nice I won you know


but it's it's definitely not as uh difficult as my time in warzone has been you know, so, I mean


ya,


right, , ya, ya and I !whoa! something I like about the warzone mechanic is the fact that you can uh


what do you call that , you can buy your your friends back so as long as like one person dies and then that's it the game is done you know, you can buy friends back which I think it's a solid mechanic for a for a game ya


which ones are there there's like, pub G warzone, oh fortnite right, and uh


okay, fortnite, I didn't realise also


, oh so they are actually all good at the game, ha, (mmhmm)


that's it ya, , , (mmhmm)


oh they have buildings and all, is it like load out building in warzone, nope never and I'm proud to say


no, and that too I am proud to declare, , okay


okay


(uh huh), right, solo also, do you okay what what's your favourite combination I know there are solos duos I think trios and quads as well in warzone


so uh how do you what do you prefer how do you play, what's your style you know, okay


okay, trios ah


right, ya ya but I, when you said uh you don't have enough ammo you just made me remembered that something that I do enjoy about quads right, is that everything is much more worth you buy an ammo box it's worth you buy ammunitions as well because the number of people that benefit is just much more


you know, ya, and I think, I think your sealing for kills is much higher also in quads because you engage with fewer teams but you can you're potentially can get more more kills


you know, ya more points you score more point, , I see


no lah I feel because I mean when it's not like it's a eh I for me ninety percent of my encounters of other teams right it's not a even, situation where oh you like the whole team meets one on one so it's like one V one V one V one V one right


but it's always like one person runs in or two people run in and they have to fight all four, right and then the others will like try running in for support and and flanking and all that so, that way the people who encounter the teams we will push forward for the teams they they have a


I I would say a greater opportunity than more kills, but also, you know it's not easy, so, got to think about that


uh not a guy for solos also, but I like the challenge, solos is more challenging


alright, ya uh but this game though no matter how you roll the dice right


they are going to be campers bro, there will be a bunch of campers, independently of less uh, ya


eh but when you play solos and duos right like the initial set up of the game where you need to get your load out and everything is that not difficult, is that not much more difficult, right right


fair enough, ahya that's a that's that's uh the right attitude to have I guess, ya you have fun you know you focus on having fun


and nah man nah man there are wrong ways to play a game I'll tell you that, I don't I don't understand people who hack I don't understand people who grief, you know I don't I don't understand people who get addicted there's that, you know I feel like there are ways to do it


there are ways to play the game, , it's okay, if we, if we if we define it that way alright


, okay, (mmhmm)


alright, ya it's it's like where they group people with the same KD and everything right the kill death ratio, right


ya, ya but I mean with that right what you are saying, E sports is something that's you know taking the world by storm you know and it's


ah CDL or like for example if we're talking about warzone we call it ED right so there's a CDL, they call the what is that the the what is it call of duty league is it, CDL ya something like


ya it's like call of duty league it's like their pro championships, where their their best players come forward and they will play like


they will have to get how do you get get someone addicted because that guy right who goes through SBM right


so you're place with others who have a low KD low low ability players, right then you win a few and then when you win you get that feeling like oh I'm so good at this game right, but then they they slowly up the difficulty for you because now you are


in the different skill group and everything, right, which is which is what makes people addicted to the game, cause, you ramp up the difficulty and then they want more wins and everything


oh ya I don't know


right but do they not have casual modes anymore


right, (mmhmm),


ya, I get that, ah,


, I can't believe that I used to have like a busy schedule and used to be doing things on a daily basis and being productive, you know what that feels like, now I'm recording my voice for fifty dollars


you know on a on a sunday afternoon like what's life gone to, okay


(mmhmm), alright, six months Jeez


how do you do that, was there like a trigger or anything like maybe something that made you


you know, something and made you start, zenning out


okay, okay, (uh huh)


right


ya, (mmhmm), that's nice to hear


(mmhmm), I mean try retracing the steps I guess, alright do something that makes you happy and then just enjoy the fact that you did it


(mmhmm), (mmhmm)


right, okay


right, (mmhmm)


, ah I think uh, I think, I I don't know I think just go with the flow, like


just, how do I put this , so just, take it easy and, just go with the flow man I feel like these things


, ya, ah, nah I'd be pretty bummed out if you could create the cure for cancer and you didn't


I would probably beat I'll beat myself up for that ah, you know, like if you can do it


(mmhmm), ya


(mmhmm)


, , ya, ya


ya, I get it I get what you mean, (uh huh), are you old enough to watch fight club


, alright, it's twenty one I think, I mean if I I okay I'm just going to say it better be twenty one, it's frankly should not should not be it ah it's pretty bad bro


it's pretty bad they nailed they nailed everything, they nailed everything uh sexual references violence language, ah even the concepts are very mature as well, it's a good movie


right, ya, as the solution is what again uh shoot yourself in the head, right kill the kill the nagging voice


, ya


, , ya


ya, ha, eh fight club, like uh like very recently two weeks ago


but before that it was like in twenty, seventeen sixteen kind of thing, but recently for some reason uh ya I heard the song the fight club song where is my mind by the pixies, and then I was like ya want to watch this movie again


ya ya the very last song it's beautiful when they play it, you know the acoustic guitar and like the hard rock, quite nice, ya I heard that song and I was like I want to watch fight club again


would be nice to make a movie like that dude, or just the ability to make a minute movie like that, ya


okay, right


ya nolan Villeneuve, ya edgar wright and all that ya, eh aren't you related to night Shyamalan or something, what uh, I remember you had a story about M night Shyamalan I can't remember what it was


no no no you met you met him or something, , something to do with you and M night Shyamalan,


I mean understandably, wait he's tamil or something right M night Shyamalan, I think so, ya I can't remember, right


ha, I want to sleep already, oh film business got a lot of money but it's so hard to make it


, oh ya ya I agree with you, I agree with you that's ya just keep it formulae


, ya, ya, mission impossible twenty three uh


fast and furious fifty, ya, there's a commercial aspect, soya, I love it when they they add actors as part of the formula


like how do you make a action movie better cast jason statham you know that kind of thing, ya


right, ya, ya


and he wins ya, recently I've been getting into this new genre of film okay no I wouldn't say new but like uh it's a less, known uh more niche genre film it's called post cinema, post cinema and basically right the whole idea behind post cinema is that


in in generals film right in like like like general cinema right you you see uh you will follow a character the character has a goal, and we'll watch the character achieve the goal right we'll they will have plan and they will go through the goal and try to get what he wants right


be it get the girl do a robbery , win the olympics and all something like that right it's a that's the general structure, post cinema <tamil>என்ன பண்றாங்கனா அது:enna panrangana athu</tamil> err they will take the, uh they will just take you


from the point of view of the character from point A to point B, so you will follow the character from a a point in time to another point in time and there's no there's no beginning there's no resolution, like there's no need for a beginning or a resolution you know


no no it's not like #tarantino#'s movies the example of post cinema I can give you K did you watch uncut gems, K it's a uncut gems is a adam sandler movie by the Safdie brothers you should watch that, uh Safdie brother uh did you watch good time robert pattinson


ya that's another, uh yes this a, really like you the character doesn't know what's going on you don't know what's going on but you just watch them handle challenge by challenge with no clear end in mind


uh yes but the platform is more of a commentary, then it you can as in the uh (hmm)


ya I I a bit a bit you know there are commonalities but ah I wouldn't say that the platform is post cinema, no that's the thing there's no formula for for post cinema, it's a very anti commercial, usually post cinema films are very low budget also


no no no but that's the thing you have to follow a a a character from how do I do it I'm not explaining this right, you have to follow the character from like point A to point B and there may be no you have to you you just have to watch the movie

you know flicks or whatever right, and grey's anatomy is by all means a flick right, which is why for a long time I didn't watch it, but then my friend was like yo you should watch this one episode right and I watched right then I just got hooked


and then I was in for like ten seasons and it's a dude it's a prop it's it's, it's a proper commercial show man like in a sense where it's like twenty two seasons like forty minutes an episode eh sorry sixteen seasons like twenty two to twenty four episodes a season, forty minutes an episode and like

I thought, oh okay sounds like lit


(mmhmm) who are very fit and thin is it, sorry, (mmhmm)


really I I need to do something like, ya, yes I started school I mean I started school long time ago but now it's like still the holidays for like two more weeks


ah mah so next time next semester until january four <tamil>தான் ஆரம்பிக்குது:thaan arambikiuthu</tamil> and, I don't think it's not even like the full semester is like a bridging semester you know what is bridging, like okay cause you know <tamil>நான்:naan</tamil> poly <tamil>லே ஏற்கனவே இந்த:lei erkenavai intha</tamil> course <tamil>படிச்சுட்டேன்:padichuten</tamil> so <tamil>நான் இப்பே:naan ippei</tamil> uni <tamil>போம்போது:pompothu</tamil> is like I got a lot of exemptions


okay so if for example <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> course <tamil>இருக்குனு வச்சுக்க அந்த:irukkunu vachuka antha</tamil> course <tamil>லே பாதி ஏற்கனவே வந்து:lei pathi erkenavai vanthu</tamil> , ya but <tamil>அந்த மீதி பாதி:antha mithi pathi</tamil> course <tamil>வந்து நான்:vanthu naan</tamil> bridging <tamil>கற்றுக்கனும்:katrukanum</tamil> so the so that I don't pay the full fees


but actually only do like half of the fees and I only learn like half of the, thing that which I never learn in poly make sense, ya I mean cause my uh course is supposed to be four years lah then now I only have to do two and a half years


and I have like ten exemptions from poly and I have like, five modules which are like bridging modules, and the worst thing is right they okay so bridging is only from january to february and they are giving us like random modules for the entire month


ya I don't know like <tamil>எப்படி:eppadi</tamil> like manage <tamil>பன்ன போறேன்:panna poren</tamil> cause two modules for the entire month like <tamil>ரோம்ப:romba</tamil> cram <tamil>ஆக இருக்கும்:aaka irukkum</tamil> you know, so like !wah! I don't know


ya so, yes yes


, pass <tamil>பன்னா போதும்:panna pothum</tamil> ya ya pass <tamil>பன்னா போதும்:panna pothum</tamil> so even if I like just pass it doesn't matter cause it's not in my records anywhere , you know so like, I mean it's a good thing ah <tamil>ஆனால் நான்:aanaal naan</tamil> private private <tamil>படிக்கிறேன்:padikiraen</tamil> so it's also kind of expensive so


yes yes


ya <tamil>ஆனால்:aanaal</tamil> I think <tamil>நீ:ni</tamil> exemption <tamil>எடுக்கிறது தான்:edukirathu thaan</tamil> better cause, if not very Sian you know like you keep doing the same course you do in poly also like


ya, ya where where do you plan to go, oh okay
