<mandarin>你要给人:ni yao gei ren </mandarin> a false sense of security you know what I mean, you get to like shake them, you have to like


eh you have to like you have to pretend like your your mother tongue <mandarin>就是:jiu shi </mandarin> !whoa! <mandarin>他的他的华文:ta de ta de hua wen </mandarin> ah <mandarin>真的是:zhen de shi </mandarin> err <mandarin>不及格:bu ji ge </mandarin> like you know what I mean then after that when you when they start to get you know get to know you more ah then suddenly


boom !whoa! <mandarin>他真的是很聪明:ta zhen de shi hen cong ming </mandarin> leh !whoa! really,


I don't think so don't have anymore, !huh! really meh why


yeah


!huh! why you never get, why you never get


shag sia, then you got any other alternative or not, astronomy just <mandarin>看:kan </mandarin> the moon only


!hanna! then you you GG you GG lor


you will try a mod eh wait it must be what kind of mod, UE ah, I got I took a mod err last sem that I thought was quite fun, but err


to me it's a easy A, ya so let me explain, the mod is called, err what you call that ah, leadership in the twenty first century, it sounds like a it sounds like a bit of err to some people ah


it will sound a little bit like a cringey mod lah you know, but, the good thing is that it's actually quite fun or at least I find it quite fun lah you know because got a lot of the exchange students like you know they they come down so you really see a lot of like you know different international students


now because of COVID it might be a bit difficult but I think the mod itself right is still quite fun lah you know


err he's also very eccentric lah so he will make the class quite fun then how you're graded is err they do something similar to IRAs so like you know individual readiness assessments or like mini test lah every two weeks, you will do like MCQ by yourself first after you submit the MCQ you'll go into groups to do the same IRA test but as a group


then you're graded based on that, then err they will have like some you know small like one lesson projects to do on the spot where you're graded and then they will and then I think bulk of the grading comes from both err


what you call that ah peer evaluation, plus err, like journals lah like you do your own learning journal lah so they just they they test you like err, like how much you remember lor from like all the the previous classes


so, the good thing ah is that if you want a <mandarin>好成绩:hao cheng ji </mandarin> ah you know, you need to, really do the journal like very good lah you know, because err he say right he can very easily tell if like someone do the err <mandarin>每天都:mei tian dou </mandarin> so like record <mandarin>那个:na ge </mandarin> journal


compared to like !wah! shoot <mandarin>明天要:ming tian yao </mandarin> submit then I have to like, spend like you know three hours just like Zam whole thing lah you know, very easy to figure out and he very nice also because first journal if you submit the first time and he give you <mandarin>一个:yi ge </mandarin> A minus right


or like A or whatever he say that if you are happy with the results of the first journal ah the second journal submission you can just submit the same journal and he will give the same grade, yeah so I got a B plus for


my first journal I thought I thought I can like push it to a A lah, so oh no actually I I kind of like got A minus lah for my first submission lah so technically I can just like


but !wah! I tell you I submit the second time ah I accidentally exceeded the word count, so he he he mark me down for that even though he said actually ah the whole journal as a whole ah one of the best lah then I was like oh shoot


but ya, it's a fun class provided you look at it from a different perspective lah you know what I mean, because some people to them right they want to just, faster faster end faster finish ah so if they go to this class and they're not really as invested in the the costs ah they might find it boring lor so that's just a word of warning lah


but I found it fun lah because it's like there's a lot of talking with people there's a lot of like role playing like you know different like leadership position, so is quite unique lah, oh yeah and one good thing err, he said


err at the end of course right err if you need a letter of recommendation ah he can help you write one provided you help him like write one for your faculty lah so that's why I ask him to do for me also, he gave me a, internship job application in general everything can lah so what he did for me was that he help me write one on LinkedIn


then I also do the same for him then he send he recently send me a letter of recommendation, through email and then he ask me to do the same so I tend to like you know like <mandarin>写一个:xie yi ge </mandarin> like you know send to my engin prof which I'm good friends with also lah


so yeah I think it's really quite, ya really quite like beneficial lah he always say, because they they think they, they they they no they they said that they disapprove of this whole like


err networking with your prof kind of thing err which I think quite stupid lah to be honest lah


!huh! job tuition sixty per hour ah that is so much money eh


so that's hundred twenty per hour is it, how ah how how do you get like to, actually that's the thing I'm very scared of a tuition eh is the commitment lah you know you you feel very responsible for like the students' grades eh so what yours is err minimum how many months you have to teach the tuition


that's true yeah


how do you find the this kind of tuition jobs ah actually curious, then you just like there's like, then you just like <mandarin>直接:zhi jie </mandarin> apply lah is it


oh, eh idea eh I'll I'll I'll put there err achieved platinum for Overwatch I can teach your kid how to get Overwatch platinum


no no but is called


sorry I'm out, no please, maybe I can maybe do English lah you know I can maybe do English


so where where do you source your your job stuff though, err or homework for them lor


!huh!, !wah!, so good ah,


, eh, maybe if there's a market for it, I do I become private chef lah then teach people how to cook lah


oh, (oo) (oo), I my, my friend wanted to start my want my friend wanted to start one with me once he was like eh you know we got the


like a condominium at err near #Buona Vista# near NUS there then, no and plus I and plus I DM him then he never reply eh then I okay lor <mandarin>你不要:ni bu yao </mandarin> then <mandarin>我不要:wo bu yao </mandarin> lah whatever lor


yeah,


oh yeah plus you know I'm now taking like you know two courses and outside courses and they they're really quite shag lah plus !wah! tell you ah they are damn expensive as well so, everything is, everything is riding on the exam if I pass the exam ah <mandarin>他们就会:ta men jiu hui </mandarin> like you know <mandarin>还我的钱:huan wo de qian </mandarin> you know what I mean


and it's two point five K somemore leh, so it's a lot of money, I recently I recently also borrowed money from my dad actually like err I borrow about seven K Sing from him


err invest in shares, I I buy shares eh I buy shares !wah! you think I what buy what, oh shit it droppped oh no it dropped to forty seven oh god


no !wah!, what the, eh <mandarin>这个是:zhe ge shi </mandarin> no go eh, okay I I tell you why because uh I bought I bought the shares at forty eight dollars eighty cents


now is now is, I know I know but I <mandarin>我只是:wo zhi shi </mandarin> anxious lah like you know like Bo Pian lah you know, but look at it, it's forty seven dollars seventy six cents I bought one hundred shares leh that means I lost just a hundred buck I lost a hundred US already


no I I don't know lah I was worried right I was worried that it will I will miss the price that it'll it'll it'll keep increasing so I just buy early because the idea <mandarin>就是:jiu shi </mandarin> like I just buy


then <mandarin>我等六个月:wo deng liu ge yue </mandarin> you know maybe six months after right then <mandarin>我再:wo zai </mandarin> look at it again lah, then maybe by the time it by the time I go back right it'll be like how should I say ah, it will recover back to about sixty US lah, so that's about twenty five per cent


twenty five per cent twenty five okay maybe actually wait let me do the math sorry, let me do the math, I don't know how to math, fifteen divide by forty five, yes


oh that's thirty three percent so if thirty three percent ah multiplied by, five K US, that's about like, one point six K eh, one point six K increase eh you know what I mean


so, no no no, okay, even if I didn't borrow from my dad ah I still had money lah because <mandarin>我是:wo shi </mandarin> save from NS mah


it's not really rich, it's not really yeah yeah so that's that's why I wanted to work in order to like faster return my father lah so, because I don't like to have this like whole idea of like !wah! just owing money to people you know what I mean


yeah, but shag eh seven K Sing eh I'm like shook die sia


you got scholarship money right, what what,


good for you, , !wah! you on a Chinese roll hor just like <mandarin>一直说那个成语:yi zhi shuo na ge cheng yu </mandarin> breathe already

you better listen to me ah, yeah, ha refined classic people don't make it in life


, oh yeah did you know that today err


you know you you saw the <P2>#Xiao Zhen#</P2> her screenshot right which I send right, ya apparently err the GL who said that ah say I snake on him, because got the part where I think <P2>Sean</P2> say why he say lock-in limited ah


then after that after I think I think <P2>Phoebe</P2> probably sent a picture of that chat, eh no go eh bro like <mandarin>没有:mei you </mandarin> context create tension and then I was like no lah I mean okay what


he's very chill one what we we, we we won't bite also lah you know but he like a bit scared lah, so I told him okay don't worry I talk to <P2>Sean</P2> for you, I talk to <P2>Sean</P2> I say eh you know my


GL say , you know no tension that's not what he mean by lock-in is limited because he scared you know create a war between breakers and SN which to me is very stupid lah okay we shouldn't because I feel like, we got nothing better to do than make a war meh you know plus I also in SN breakers what worse case you know I just explain lah the two you know


but anyway I told him <P2>Sean</P2> and then he <P2>Sean</P2> was like ah no lah no lah okay what I heard the banter just banter only what then I was like, ah okay thanks man if you don't mind ah, he's like okay okay okay

, [orh] but you know the, actually it it it wasn't it that's the thing though


it wasn't even originally, the part where he ask whether <P2>#Xiao Zhen#</P2> is single mah


that was the main focus leh, oh I didn't crop lah I just screenshot the whole thing then I just send lor, no because I didn't think the lock-ing thing was an issue also what, to be honest


he's he said that I think I, he said that no this what he said I think locking very cool and fun but a bit limited sia then I think okay lah there's a fair opinion what I don't see anything wrong with it yeah, then I'm like okay


yeah you know I send to <P2>#Xiao Zhen#</P2> he's like why this guy so sensy ah, yeah, B boy !huh! B boy so sensy how to battle


yeah, that's why that's why I I guess all B boys generally quite sensy lah <P2>Duke</P2> also I sorry <mandarin>不可以:bu ke yi </mandarin> anyhow say, oh !oof! !oof! !oof!


, I think I'm quite okay honestly I think I'm quite sensy lah, no like legit legit


not always lah actually quite rarely lah to be honest, it's just that every time I'm not everytime I'm so called like not sensy ah it's always at the wrong time lah, like, for some reason lah, I don't know <mandarin>不好运:bu hao yun </mandarin> lah no go lah


no no no dude that's what I I say already, but what queues were there in this one there were no queues eh just the test the thing


got any other example, this is the first time I think

ya we I went with my secondary school friends then we went to this place at #Telok Ayer# called I think err, what is it called again oven and the chicken lah dunno ah


oh wait err it's called oven and fried chicken, that's the place, ya the Korean one the Korean one, it's pretty good err but it's to me lah to me lah to my friend it's okay lah but to me it's a little bit on the pricey side lah


it's like, I think for for four people four of us we eat, err hundred and twenty three dollars, yeah I know I know, yeah exactly ah but we eat quite a lot


but ya it's it's it's not bad we order we ordered like I think one full chicken one half chicken, then I think


and then we ordered like a <mandarin>两个:liang ge </mandarin> soju bottle, ya but each soju bottle is like what I think fifteen per bottle ish, around there, yeah, I feel the I feel the potato one is not worth is not worth because it's basically potato wedges and fries ah but it was like twenty dollars twenty two dollars


yeah, that's where they earn most of their money lah because I tell my friends you want I I, I'm more of a soup person but my friends are not a soup person so I like okay lah y'all let's just eat <mandarin>那个:na ge </mandarin> potato wedges lor

no lah it just means that like people born for research more than you lor simple as that lah, it's not a it's not a bad thing lah you know, it's not a bad thing, I generally feel that, people who like you know born for research


like they very <mandarin>聪明:cong ming </mandarin> but they also sometimes a bit <mandarin>奇怪:qi guai </mandarin> also lah okay, ya like err and it's not wrong lah, it's <mandarin>就是他们的:jiu shi ta men de </mandarin> mindset a bit different lor, like they will see things from a perspective that is err very


different from most people, and sometimes is actually is quite interesting to talk to them about it lah you know, as long as they are not a dick about it then I think I think it's the most important thing I've seen people who, like


but then they have like this very like <mandarin>天生:tian sheng </mandarin> complex lah that I cannot stand


[orh] I'm gonna


my friend was my friend was telling me that people in law school ah generally <mandarin>就是:jiu shi </mandarin> quite weird, like they say that err they say that, the group from #Hwa Chong# ah, they're all very <mandarin>奇怪:qi guai </mandarin> the group from RJ ah

!huh!, oh I leg, leg stiff leg stiff sorry,


knees weak, arms weak, what


, , , eh it must be the soju lah


[orh] you know that reminds me eh you know, alcohol in general ah sometimes brings out both the best and worst of me, like there there's one time ah I was in army, then I really I didn't realise it was guard duty like one hour later

oh yeah of course, no no no you don't okay I I agree you don't need twenty thousand people for insurance agents


but, you definitely need a lot of people, who you know <mandarin>他们会懂:ta men hui dong </mandarin> understand like empathy lah, you know they really <mandarin>会:hui </mandarin> like you know <mandarin>听别人:ting bie ren </mandarin> lah a lot of a lot of agents ah what they tend to do ah


I know like the basic basic like rough understanding of what the client wants ah, then <mandarin>我就:wo jiu </mandarin> just recommend him like a generic plan lah, you have people like, like in my opinion lah you have people like <P2>Nick #Yeo#</P2> and <P2>#Zhi Sheng#</P2> right who are really really committed to what they do lah and they are really


at least from what I talk to them lah even though they they want to aim big lah they not doing it mostly for the money lah is to really help people lah I think you need more people like that


(uh huh), shit, oh

, you see this


he doesn't have full time job not yet, he still interviewing

as in like you know, like with insurance there's like this stigma around it so like, so like no and like personally I feel like the market is like way too over saturated that like, you don't need twenty thousand insurance agents

cause like, ya so I was like I was like eh bro no no go like I told him like you know you you really need to reconsider everything and cause now it's been so long and he still has not found a job


so then I told him to just go straight to tuition, cause like I mean tuition they don't look at your nationality they don't ask for your nationality, they want your qualifications and like whether you can teach well or not, so like what I feel is that if he can build up his teaching experience and all that kind of thing now then like he essentially can


you know use whatever he learn and the skills to like, do better things in life lah so he was saying that, maybe he can go back to like Myanmar to like start school, like create like as in like you know yeah

tomorrow ah, oh my plan ah, is to, is, no no no, now I got things to do already, so I think tomorrow I will, I will just do my research for my final year project


ya lor then cause our meetings coming wednesday right, then like ya so by then, actually I'm not sure whether it's the coming our first meeting is coming week or next week I the prof haven't reply


you know, okay lah it's not really a prof lah that guy the the supervisor that is, I seen with us in Whatsapp is like, it's like he's quite young guy, oh is a very nice guy I think he he was the one that graded me from my that you know my that construction project


ya he's very nice he ya ya don't want that like no no no not him, he's a prof but, like, no he he was our mentor for the project, you know your own mentor <mandarin>不可以:bu ke yi</mandarin> grade, the


the ya your own groups project right you know right, no no no, this China prof is, is is the prof for this for FYP the construction one is the is another mod mah


ya so, so like so during their grading for that that previous design project that I did right, the grading is you or your own mentor cannot grade your own group mah so yours is other people that, grade so


so the person that graded me for that design project, which is, quite he's very nice guy he is right, is now a mentor for my final year project, ya


I we might cause, it's very big project, ya, it's very pro project so, ya I guess I'm not sure and so why you need so many supervises lah but it's cause it's a I think I'm guessing it's a big project

, to oh you know what is something I want to have a photographic memory, then you know everything <mandarin>你看一次:ni kan yi ci</mandarin> then you know already, I mean just very shiok lor like if I want to learn a language right I just open the book


then I read one time then everything <mandarin>记得:ji de</mandarin> like <mandarin>背下来:bei xia lai</mandarin> already damn good, exactly just the night before you read through for everything then you remember


, I think I'm pretty smart, what is considered unusual


but just having superpower is already unusual what, so what is considered unusual, , err okay, for me it's,


for me is definitely, time control, time manipulation, then is like [orh] if you if you do anything you <mandarin>后悔:hou hui</mandarin> right then you can just go back and change


or like you can pause the time then got more time to sleep, , ya , they will be like <mandarin>停笔:ting bi</mandarin> but nope you pause


then continue, , !wah! then can you can predict the TOTO number you know


, then you buy


, come come on your turn, you must top this power, yes

ya no no more jetlag, you are just there, then you wait until so Sian already by time you reach the country right then you go and sleep


that's true, but for me right, I don't know if I really want to read people's mind, cause ignorance is bliss you know like some things <mandarin>最好是不要知道:zui hao shi bu yao zhi dao</mandarin> ,


ya, then you just over there <mandarin>心痛:xin tong</mandarin> only like why this person so mean to me, yes green tea bitch

or is it just one food one type of food, true okay cannot cheat the system, then what is one thing the most expensive thing house house apartment apartment


, wait is it free for all, or is just, for me, , !wah! no then if everyone get free apartment I also don't need to get right


, !huh!, it's so hard leh, what is something that, but then


if it's free right it won't affect, too much like for example if I say electricity is free right, then everyone would just keep using then our earth right <mandarin>迟早:chi zao</mandarin> will die


(mmhmm), that's true, it's like so weird like if you want a new family member right like your pet, then you still have to <mandarin>花:hua</mandarin> like <mandarin>几千块:ji qian kuai</mandarin> to get them


, oh my god okay that makes sense then that's that's smart, ya is is


ya then it's like then <mandarin>男人:nan ren</mandarin> don't even have to pay for it it's just us, , smart, what else do I wish is free, how about


spectacles, , paying so much just to see, K lah spectacles and contact lens, can you imagine like !wah!, everyday right you must pay like four dollars


just for a pair of contact lens, then it's like <mandarin>很不划算:hen bu hua suan</mandarin> you know and then at the end of day you still take out then you throw away


then each time also, oh okay, oh my previous specs also lah like <mandarin>两年半:liang nian ban</mandarin> lah no change

then like free for us, !hey! it's my wish you cannot stop my wish, let, ya but imagine if it's free, you will go too right


, oh eh uni have anot


I think must <mandarin>自己付钱:zi ji fu qian</mandarin> also right, maybe it's like cheaper, don't even have ah


[orh], okay lah I you know got those government branches one, then they should the price also subsidised, cause you know when I <mandarin>拔:ba</mandarin> my <mandarin>智慧牙:zhi hui ya</mandarin> right it was only like hundred, and seventy


or is it hundred and twenty, hundred and seventy, I mean that is expensive but compared to other places is much cheaper, so


oh ya ya ya, I think you know last time right to get braces there is like <mandarin>半价:ban jia</mandarin> compared to other places


!huh!, oh so cheap,


ah okay lah still, oh, still very worth already lah even if they charge a bit more right, still okay lor


, okay, three new skills, [orh] I will surely choose a language, okay, I will choose to master my bass then I don't need to like practice so hard everyday you know


, I can just like, ya like my bass guitar ya, then it's like !wah! imagine I <mandarin>马上:ma shang</mandarin> I can play leh those high standard, then I will join a band


, another skill ah, what skill I want, a language yes


eh what what should I choose ah, K lah maybe I will want japanese, , but thai is so hard


oh oh that's true I can immediately master it, but like, will I go to Thailand like, (hmm), (hmm), probably just go there for the food


, ya, but but I still I still like like Japan culture more


and, okay, cooking, got gordon ramsay level


, ya eh backup plan okay is like if like you know <mandarin>大学读不出来:da xue du bu chu lai</mandarin> then you just go and open restaurant,


that's right


, K what language


, oh but you know I really like the french accent, like when they speak english also, it just sounds very very like <mandarin>性感:xing gan</mandarin> you know


, oh, oh ya true


oh, but then you still have to pay for your license you know, it's like you mastered it but you don't have the license then you also cannot,


but then you still need a driving teacher, that's what I heard lah like it you need, you to in order to even go for the test right, you need a driving teacher to like approve


so in the end, then you can drive also <mandarin>没有用:mei you yong</mandarin> right


, true, but okay lah I think, maybe driving now not so important for us


but it's still a good skill to have, , true true


it's just I <mandarin>我要:wo yao</mandarin> you know


err, yes come on

if I if I can just ask for salmon right is I don't need to actually have to like have <mandarin>生鱼片:sheng yu pian</mandarin> everyday you know, meat I can grill monday I grill, then like, tuesday I steam it,


then wednesday I eat it raw, , !wah! I cannot leh I I you know I'm the type to go to a store then like everything also must <mandarin>试试看:shi shi kan</mandarin> first before I settle on one

then I I I, but it that is not a <mandarin>一道菜:yi dao cai</mandarin> what that's not even a dish, it's like <mandarin>点心:dian xin</mandarin> you know


so hard, like that I will choose something that can have, fried rice fried rice I can add many ingredients into my fried rice, yes


, cause it's so weird to just like choose <mandarin>老鼠爱爱大米:lao shu ai ai da mi</mandarin> in the middle of all our, our K pop you know

then like no matter how much I contour right also


you <mandarin>靠近一看你看得出:kao jin yi kan ni kan de chu</mandarin> one, oh my god ya they just like tear out their nose casually


but I think too much effort leh, I just I rather good looks lah you know fit body like maybe I one entire year I put in effort right, then, okay,


that's why reconsidering my decision !aiya! but still good looks better lah you can you can lose weight but you cannot grow a nice nose out of nowhere you know, , partner ah also good looks what fit body <mandarin>我们一起运动:wo men yi qi yun dong</mandarin> lah <mandarin>我们一起去跑步:wo men yi qi qu pao bu</mandarin> everyday
