you all say your your school your polytechnic got like any err any activities disrupted because of COVID or not, ah

then you can just like <tamil>எதுனால அவங்க கிட்ட கேட்டுக்கலாம்:ethunaala avanga kita kettukkalaam</tamil> then they will just like help you like big time ya that's what like about like, err even polytechnic or JC lah I think like both like err places like confirm have like one or two seniors <tamil>ரொம்ப:romba</tamil> helpful eh <tamil>இருப்பாங்க:irupaanga</tamil> they just help you with everything


like even like homework like <tamil>படிப்பு பத்தி:padipu paththi</tamil> or like CCA or anything they will just help you along that's why I kind of like, eh you you know like remember when we were younger we all like damn scared about NS


err now it's like now like I kind of like want to go I cannot wait for NS, because like, I like when I was younger right like I was like uh <tamil>ரொம்ப கஷ்டமா இருக்கும் வீட்டுக்கு வரக்கூடாது:romba kashtamaa irukum veetuku varakudaathu</tamil> like five days <tamil>அங்கேயே இருக்கனும்:angayae irukkanum</tamil> don't know, right now right it's like I I am like or maybe NS is not that bad lah because like can like err train for fitness what because <tamil>அங்க அஞ்சினாளு எதுமே பண்ண போறது இல்ல:anga anjinaalu ethumae panna porathu illa</tamil> just gonna train train train so I was like oh okay maybe I can get fit lah use that to get fit


then like last time right <tamil>நான் நினைச்சேன் வந்து:naan ninaichaen vanthu</tamil> like the whole two years is just like full of like BMT ah PT and stuff, then now I know like oj like only that PT or BMT that one is like like <tamil>மூணு மாசத்துக்கு அப்புறம் தான்:moonu maasathukku appuram thaan</tamil> then after that it's like it's like an actual job they train you like, to whatever course you get lah like whatever sector you get like police or like err SCDF or whatever and now I'm like I actually looking forward cannot wait you know


ya, ya


ya, !wah! then good lah so you can like apply what you learn in your polytechnic to your actual like NS life


ya, ya, for me right I was like, I think like <tamil>நான் நெனைக்கிறேன் எனக்கு:naan nenaikkiraen ennakku</tamil> police <tamil>தான் கிடைக்கும் நெனைக்கிறேன்:thaan kidaikkum nenaikkiraen</tamil> because I told you right like err secondary school my NPCC that one right so like maybe will carry over to my NS if they look at my


err my NPCC like portfolio lah so I wish I go to police, wait police it's like what's the requirements is it like you need to have high IQ or some shit


ya, oh ya, I thought like I thought the hardest like NS like one of my friends like I mean one of my friend one of my teachers told told me that like he joined the the naval the navy or whatever what the one in Sembawang what's it called uh


ya NDU ya that one, then he say like when he joined it's like like I think like twenty years ago right ya my secondary school teacher he said when he joined it was like twenty years ago, and he said like all the people there like like it's very tough one compared to like err like act like like other like the normal uh people in NS they all go like Tekong like that's land stuff right


so my teacher say like he go, he go like diving and stuff and then sometimes he say like the like no one will help you one you just have to help yourself sometimes he say like he he's like all these like diving stuff right like they malfunction halfway then he say his ears got bleed and stuff


then that's why I was like damn scared in like when I was younger because ah all these stories I heard right then I was like oh maybe I'm also gonna suffer, and now it's like I know better lah, so you're looking you're looking forward to NS or not


ya, ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya, ya correct correct


then we all just like uh <tamil>நான் வந்து:naan vanthu</tamil> we go to Wikipedia or some dodgy website


and then we go search up like NS roles <tamil>அப்புறோம் தான் பாத்துட்டு இருந்தோம்:appuram thaan paathutu irunthom</tamil> which is like slacker stuff to do and we just keep on scrolling and we like <tamil>எதுலாம் ரொம்ப:ethulaam romba</tamil> easy ah <tamil>இருந்துச்சோ அதுலாம்:irunthucho athulaam</tamil> and then we just like take note of it, then we all then like then like ah we all just go like read up on like how to get into those called like those sectors I I know it's like hundred percent true <tamil>இல்லனு தெரியும்:illanu teriyum</tamil> you know what like at that time right there's like only like consolation we had because like <tamil>ரொம்ப பயம்:romba bayam</tamil> we all like like we all not really to go for NS


that's in secondary school <tamil>நாங்க வந்து:naanga vanthu</tamil> like recess <tamil>அப்போல்லாம் வந்து:appollaam vanthu</tamil> exercise <tamil>பண்ண மாட்டோம்:panna maattom</tamil> we just like go play games on our phones uh, so it's like suddenly like they put put this idea of like you know like <tamil>அஞ்சினால் வந்து:anjinaal vanthu</tamil> full ah PT no like it's like not very slack and then like it will be very physically demanding <tamil>கேட்டானே வந்து ரொம்ப பயமா இருந்துச்சி:keatonae vanthu romba bayamaa irunthuchi</tamil> so we just like err try to you know like get rid of that fear by like trying to join all those like sectors lah we're now like now like <tamil>எனக்கு தெரிய வந்துது:ennaku teriya vanthuthu</tamil> err


it's like you cannot <tamil>நீ உன்னால எதுமே பண்ண முடியாது அத:nee unnaala ethumae panna mudiyaathu atha</tamil> change <tamil>பண்றதுக்கு:pandrathukku</tamil> because like <tamil>அவங்க தான் வந்து உன்ன:avanga thaan vanthu unna</tamil> place <tamil>பண்ணுவாங்க நெனைக்கிறேன்:pannuvaanga nenaikkiraen</tamil> so it's like you cannot do anything to escape, what's in for you


ah


ya ya ya, ya sia, or maybe they do it on purpose lah to see how you cope with like the stress I don't know


eh you know right like now I like one of the thing I like more scared of now right like my eyesight sia


then my my eyesight was like very good and in like primary school I was like okay lah uh having good eyesight is normal and our secondary school then secondary school <tamil>வந்தோனே எனக்கு வந்து:vanthonae ennakku vanthu</tamil> first phone <tamil>கிடைச்சிச்சி:kidaichichi</tamil> I got my first phone in secondary secondary one, and I start to use a lot and watch movies download whatever


and then, then <tamil>நான் வந்து மெல்ல மெல்லமா பாத்தேன்:naan vanthu mella mellamaa paathaen</tamil> then like secondary one secondary two secondary three secondary four right I see slowly right like more of my classmates started getting glasses I still never get glasses so now <tamil>நான் நினைச்சேன்:naan ninaichaen</tamil> my eyesight is like like cannot cannot go back one lah cannot go wrong


then like then when I went to JC right I started like noticing the like <tamil>ரொம்ப தூரமா இருக்கும் போது எனக்கு வந்தது தெரியாது:romba thooramaa irukum pothu ennakku vanthathu teriyaathu</tamil> like in like primary school right I can see the number of the bus from like very far away and JC <tamil>அப்புறம் வந்து:appuram vanthu</tamil> oh I need to like squint my eyes to like you know look at the number of the bus or like the whatever the bus where the bus is going to the location


!wah! then I got like very scared, then I go like then I was like I I know like the I think it's called myopia I think like your the most common, uh eye like the disease ya short sightedness then it's like I <tamil>எனக்கு தெரியும் வந்து:ennakku teriyum vanthu</tamil> like there's no like actual cure for myopia that I just like I read about all this stuff called placebo and stuff


then I just try to believe that like oh my eyesight is getting better my eyesight is getting better then the weird thing right it's like it's actually like work for a period of time but then, it it didn't work because of what I thought, made it work okay for example right


then I keep on doing that for like a few, for like a few months like <tamil>பண்ணிட்டே இருந்தேன்:pannitae irunthaen</tamil> when I was in JC then I noticed that I said my eye sight better eh <tamil>இருந்துச்சி:irunthuchi</tamil> then I was like oh that's because of the placebo and after that like err during the exams they just stand down the CCA so I like then I started like slacking lah just no because err like when I was in JC right only football <tamil>மட்டும் தான் என்னோட:mattum thaan ennoda</tamil> only exercise I didn't really exercise outside of football


and then it's like so when football during the exams <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> football <tamil>இல்லாத அப்போ நான் வந்து:illaatha appo naan vanthu</tamil> excercise <tamil>பண்ணல:pannala</tamil> then I started using my phone a lot like <tamil>ஒரு மணி வரைக்கும் நான்:oru mani varaikum naan</tamil> phone <tamil>பாத்துட்டு இருப்பேன்:paathutu iruppaen</tamil> then I played games and stuff, then my eyesight like it it it got worse lor then


ya deteriorate like uh very err higher rate then I just got scared then now like I think I make I trying to maintain my eyesight properly because now got like err now like all the effort I would have to attend NS lah then that one is like you cannot or phone <tamil>வந்து அவ்ளோ பண்ண முடியாது:vanthu avlo panna mudiyaathu</tamil> so it's like was like just loaded with like physical activities so I think maybe I can maintain my eyesight lah so you wear glasses since when ah like you wearing glasses since primary five right or primary six


oh primary four ah, !alamak!


ah GG lah , the only thing right it's like it's keeping me going right I know like even if like <tamil>கண் பார்வை ரொம்ப மோசமானாலும்:kann paarvai romba mosamaanalum</tamil> I just counting on the laser eye surgery why that one I like ya because like you know right you it's like you you just deteriorate your eyesight like like even even if your eyesight is like like very bad right then you can get like a laser eye surgery then you have like one chance to like do better so laser surgery <tamil>அப்புறம் வந்து நீ வந்து உன் கண்ணே நல்லா பாத்துகிட்டே வந்து:appuram vanthu nee vanthu un kannae nalla paathukita vanthu</tamil> then you know like you you will you will be confident that you can like your eyesight <tamil>கேட்டு போகாம இருக்குறதுக்கு:kettu pogaama irukkurathukku</tamil> gaurantee <tamil>பண்ணலாம்:pannalaam</tamil> mine is just like I was just wondering


[orh], ya


oh okay, a thousand degrees uh yours is what yours is currently at what, oh five hundred and fifty ah


ya, ya, ya, ya for me right, ya you say you go on first


but then like when I was in like JC right like err I like a lot of people like told me <tamil>என் அம்மா எல்லாம் சொன்னாங்க வந்து உன்:en amma ellaam sonnaanga vanthu un</tamil> eyesight <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> like you like use like the phone too much then your eyesight <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> it's gonna like become bad lor


then like but then for me right I didn't even like like I didn't even take their their advice into consideration <tamil>ஏன்னா நான் வந்து நான்:yaeannaa naan vanthu naan</tamil> class lah <tamil>இருக்கும் போது வந்து நான் வந்து பின்னாடி உக்காந்து இருப்பேன் எப்போதுமே பின்னாடி உக்காந்து இருக்கும் போது கூட:irukkum pothu vanthu naan vanthu pinaadi ukkaanthu iruppaen eppothumae pinaadi ukkaanthu irukkum pothu kuda</tamil> I can like see the screen properly on so I thought like <tamil>ஏன் கண் பார்வை வந்துடுச்சி:yaen kann parvai vanthuduchi</tamil> like like very good so I didn't I didn't like really care like proper


like I like you know taking care of my eyes properly you know they say like every twenty minutes <tamil>வந்து ஒரு:vanthu oru</tamil> break <tamil>எடுக்கணும்:edukkanum</tamil> because like in like when I was in JC like got the PW right it's like, I just sit down in front of my computer for like a few hours you know you <tamil>என்னோட:ennoda</tamil> teammates <tamil>கூட வந்து பேசிட்டு இருப்பேன்:kuda vanthu pesittu iruppaen</tamil> how to improve the report or whatever


then it's like, then I never like eye breaks <tamil>எடுக்க மாட்டேன்:eduka maataen</tamil> I don't take eye breaks one I just just go ham because I just want to finish as fast as possible then I thought like <tamil>நான்:naan</tamil> break <tamil>எடுத்து வந்து:eduthu vanthu</tamil> then I need to like spend more time, like you know I need to like I'll waste some time that I could have spent on the WR on the on the written report

ya we hopefully we get we pass the trial lah, best case scenario


okay hello, okay err start doing the KEPT test now, again, okay


can stop the KEPT test already, hello, no ah don't need to pass, ya just keep going, okay


okay actually we pause we both pause, !hey! !hey! #yong shen#, if you have three wishes, what would you wish for


!woo! that sounds interesting


but before I answer that but, you you mentioned, wanting to, society, give back to society


err, society ah, how would you give back


oh I see, ya I do agree that, like this


they are not able to find a family on their own, and like as as humans as like, the top hierarchy in society, I agree that, you should


especially those that have been abused, by their past owners, previously another wish that you mentioned, was


to, actually excel in, academic studies right, I agree that, and if I had three wishes


I wish I quit, I was able to, more easily, able to retain information or some, or perhaps gain some special power to, perhaps


like, read, books faster or, or retain knowledge better ah, because I think in, this, in society these days, despite your talents or anything, your academic studies is still, but, really triumphs your


and what really dictates, and determines your future lor,


err, if I had, the three wishes my second wish would, I guess it would be to, be able to


inspire others, uh, oh I wish to be able to inspire others to, be more selfless lor, to be, more giving and, to be more


to to care more and want to give back to the community more, so rather than to, personally, like, I mean I do it, like I do agree that everyone, needs to do volunteer work at some point in their lives and they have to, they have a responsibility


as a citizen, I do agree that we all have to give back at some point because not everyone is, equally fortunate, to have grown up in a


rich, or well to do family or even like a full, family that still together, and I do agree that in singapore, this kind of small little family, family aspects do affect like


how you do in life ah, and, I mean besides just that besides those that are not well off to do I think another important aspect, important, like, group of people that you need to give back to is


他们, ,


err, , they need to be taken care of, more they need more, attention and love and


in our ageing society not every, elderly has, someone that's able to actually tend to and care for them, which I find that it's actually quite sad lor, so I think this is another group that I wish


to be able to, inspire more people to, , lastly my third wish would be to, actually


I know, err, as, as unrealistic as it might sound but it's a wish so I would wish for, actually like, world suffering to end so like things like poverty and pain, war, like crimes everything around the world


to, to stop lor, err, ya, if, #yong shen#, if you drop everything to follow your dreams


what would you risk


well I think my dream


travel the world, err culture


err, like people people and food lor, but I think one of the biggest things that I will have to risk, is actually losing the friendships that I have made here, because not everyone is able to, like chasing this kind of


long term dreams like dreams that would take a long time to pursue, travelling around the world especially takes a long time ah, and


because they have their own lives to live their own dreams to follow and I think one of the biggest, risks my opinion that I would have to take would naturally be to lose these friendships, and now, then it comes then this begets the question of whether this


risk is worth it, and I actually think to some extend it is ah, but I don't think, that, I would want to lose all the friendships to follow, my dream of like traveling the world too


because like even, if I manage to travel the world I accomplish my dream but, I'm risking, so many friends and, sometimes even family, like leaving family behind lor


#yong shen#, if you found a time capsule from yourself ten years ago, what would be inside


okay so #yong shen# you previously mentioned that you are now a couch potato right


have there been any so, speaking on that is there any scenery that you've like met you've seen in your K drama or any


err western movie, that, you've always wanted to visit because you said that your previously your dream, travel the world, so is there any specific place in mind that you have that you wanted to travel to after seeing it


well I've always wanted to visit japan lor


but besides the food I think japan has a very like beautiful and long lasting culture ah, if I'm not wrong I think japan is one of the oldest one of the oldest force civilizations that still stand in the world


so it has a very rich history lor like back all the way back from the samurai, and everything, and of course I really like, the, I really like the scenery in japan, all the beautiful like, sakura trees in like the sakura season


all the beautiful like in how bustling the city of Tokyo is, and how like, how beautiful the urban countryside can look lah, and I think, to me


japan is a very, err is a country that really, contains everything I that I've always wanted to experience of all the way from, the food to the scenery to the environment


err


and maybe another country that I


would be interested in would be, not not country rather part I would rather I would really like to visit, like america lor like, a few states here and there like new york, maybe los angeles


like I would like to visit a few states in america because I really wanna see, like, I mean we've ever since young we've all been like bombarded with, american shows, err <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> western shows lor


and we've always like seen it on film but we've never been able to experience it like experience the food, experience like the, the how would I say, the experiences like err like like specifically in new york we've not able we've never been able to experience how


I would say err, like the ambience in new york lor how rushed it is and, I've always also wanted to visit, vegas, I like the, party night party life in vegas lor


(hmm)


#yong shen#, if you were to eat one dish for the rest of your life what would it be,


oh, I see


because I really like, I really like like, the chinese Ramen lor I really like the taste, how


rich and robust and salty the dish is, and I've always like eaten it growing up like it's all the same nostalgia you get when you eat Indomie


I mean, to me I've, eaten it growing up cause my grandparents used to cook it, for me, but, err it contains a lot of memories ah because uh


because, I mean like I say ah nostalgia and also because like, I mean


but maybe, dumplings [bah] I mean dumplings I've always like liked eating dumplings because, I've always liked the texture of it


the different, contrasting flavours of the, the skin dumpling skin and like the feelings lor, and plus dumplings can always be, have different variants so in that sense I kind of cheap with my


diet, filling the dumplings with whatever nutrition, my diet was lacking lor, , (hmm), ya, so, #yong shen# mentioned that, err, you


growing up eating Indomie and fishball noodles, was there, any other, is there any other food that you want to try, perhaps, in the world any other food


(hmm) so actually I'm quite interested in like dieting and exercise and keeping fit so actually, (hmm) I mean naturally anyone who studies this kind of thing would tell you that


err, a healthy diet will consist of like three things ah the carbs, protein and the, vegetables lor, but I think to me what's most important is I mean besides just this obviously like, enjoying the food is important because


I know that there are people that, err, that they would try to, restrict themselves very heavily


effects can be quite permanent when you stop starve so heavily or you, force feed yourself certain, foods that, your body, is, like like if you you you restrict yourself from eating certain foods that your body's actually naturally lacking and naturally


like needs especially for those that are very active lor, I have friends that, I have friends ah most of them are like guys, who, want to, like become more shredded


and because of that their body, like, may begin to shut down and


because their body thinks that it's starving lor, so, I mean besides that obviously it it will affect your daily life ah like studying your work, you would like, be a hindrance and a burden lor because you are not able to carry out your


the task that you need to carry out properly, how about you #yong shen# do you exercise on a daily, like do you have a daily routine for exercise or do you, err, play any sports in particular to keep fit


okay that that's it, ya I do like playing games, err, well I played the the three different games that I like playing ah so in terms of sports I do like playing


basketball and frisbee, because I really like the high intensity high, high, physical requirement of athleticism, like how how physically demanding it is lor, and I like basketball


because, unlike like how, important, I like how how much a physical, contact I mean I like I like how like demanding and how


how how hard a team has to work, and how hard they have to work together to get the ball so I think that teamwork, in that spot is really very admirable and very important and, when you play, sports like basketball I think


it's really very I think can like quite kind of life changing because, you really begin to, respect those that play basketball at a very high level, and the teamwork and the team communication and trust, that the team players actually has with each other lor


err, like being able to shoot the ball or catch a rebound but it's so much more being able to pass the ball, but and besides like physical sports games


I also do play like computer games ah, (hmm)


have fun lor, bloom and mature, and I think I spend a lot of time recently on the newer games or like, volerant but I still stick to older games that I've always play lor like


perhaps like CSGO, and, I mean besides these kind of games, I think the gaming industry is also really like, increasing and improving because there are lots of new games coming out, and it's really like testing the limit and potential what


everyday computers can really handle, in terms of like graphics gameplay and, really the game developers are becoming like smarter and more creative and, I think it's really interesting to see what, and where the game in video game industries is heading


what about you #yong shen# are there any video games that you like to play


ya I do,


a few years back, I actually have a friend so I'm actually from a uniform group, and, like uniform group they really like mimic, like <mandarin>他们真的会:ta men zhen de hui</mandarin> mimic <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> the military lifestyle


like they really, err like, how would I say so there's like the of negative reinforcement involved lor, and, so I remember very vividly this memory I mean, at that point of time it was very aggravating very


annoying and almost like made a lot of people very angry but now thinking back it's actually very very funny lor, err so it was I had his friend, so it was in it was in a it was in a camp, was during a camp


so my friends and I just recently took over and we had to, we have to account for strength, so we have to count the number of people present, so my friend, err my friend was a very blur


very err, distracted person so he, he asked for the, first person of each row to actually report, the number of people present


then each row like the first row actually reported seven people, then the second row come reported seven people, then a third row reported the third and last row actually reportedly eight people, and this friend of this friend of mine actually counted seven like seven plus seven plus eight


and he actually reported like, twenty one people, so, like at that point of time obviously we were all very angry because he couldn't like count, he couldn't count like this this kind of simple math properly but I think thinking back


it is actually hilarious because he was so stressed and he was so tired, that he couldn't even like do this kind of simple thing properly and of course he was punished for it but, now thinking back was very funny ah, how about you #yong shen#


do you have any funny stories


well I think humans will actually become extinct in the future, not due to any like natural disaster or any, uh tsunami or earthquake but actually due to our own, err


mistakes or like, I mean just right now we're producing so much like greenhouse greenhouse gases for doing so much damage to the environment, soil erosion, burning down trees killing so many different exotic animals, and eventually we will reach a point in
