ya, I, I feel like that's a trap though Dharshini like you shouldn't be willing to work overwork, like eh


, ya like lunch dinner everything then they have a massage spa or something


uh, ya but uh hopefully, ya, hopefully you have a good time you seem pretty excited about it


a bit nervous also, you will you will


uh ya we do have internship also, but it's not right now it's it's in year four,


we don't have to do both, ya and <tamil>நீ வந்து:nee vanthu</tamil> final year projects ya


uh we we just need to do actually we only need to do final year project internship or you can choose err some upper level courses to take, ya err like MH four <tamil>இருந்து ஆரம்பிக்குற:irunthu aarambikkura</tamil> courses


like level four, ya ya more topics you are taking, but, ya


as in but I know, FYP <tamil>செஞ்சாலும்:senjaalum</tamil> you will need to do a smaller err shorter internship before so the courses also I think need to do a shorter internship before, like


ya, I I did I tell you, did I tell you I chose my specialisation already, ya, I choose err pure mathematics


okay so there's like ya there's like four specialisations, no I what


ya ya they do, but <tamil>நான் வந்து எப்போதுமே வந்து:naan vanthu eppothumae vanthu</tamil> like since year one I've been saying I want to do pure applied that's why <tamil>நான் வந்து யோசிக்குற:naan vanthu yosikkura</tamil> when did I say


oh, (uh huh) (uh huh), what, no I'm doing pure mathematics


I don't know I just feel a bit awkward with her like around her, , but wait so she's doing pure also


oh so she said like from, ya


, ya, we have err contacted uh we have eye contact for at during exam like, one of the other times right I was like err going to Nanyang already right then she


was there and then like, I was looking for my friend then I could feel this like strong eye contact and then she was just like staring at me and I'm like okay but good thing we got mask now, so I can't see her face


ya, so so you are saying she didn't wanna do pure and then she ended up doing pure, (mmhmm)


, , then why did she take pure, (mmhmm)


you know what's crazy <tamil>என்னோட:ennoda</tamil> OG group I mean the group I hang around with <tamil>அதுலயும் ஒரு பொண்ணு இருக்கு:athulaiyum oru ponnu irukku</tamil> she also want to do the same thing, , ya because NIE <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> is like a teaching degree right it's not like a subject degree you must go and do a subject degree after also


I think or diploma you will get two things like you know teaching diploma then err, it will be like mathematics education degree


it wouldn't be like mathematics degree,


, what's DIP I forgot, (uh huh)


ya, ya


I think you'll be a good teacher, really


he clearly doesn't know you enough,


, , ya maybe that's why I feel like, that's true, I'm more likely to call you


ya and, I agree I don't complain to other people


because like <tamil>உனக்கு:unakku</tamil> back story <tamil>தெரியும்:theriyum</tamil> so like I just build up on that , ya I'll be like


like <tamil>எனக்கு அந்த:enakku antha</tamil> mental mind <tamil>இருக்கு:irukku</tamil> so I'm like okay this part this story this person I'm like okay go on, I'm ready, you know what, we should be psychologists not teachers like


we should be those therapist, , ya,


ya you know, <tamil>பாத்தேன்:paathaen</tamil> so cute


ya, is better to not lock, and then when they open you just be like back off, but


same, we're just too good


ya, exactly


I was thinking about like, people knowing who I am while we were talking right


oh my god ya that's why when you were when you forward this task name right, was that when you wanted to say, I was like oh my god okay that's just <tamil>இவன் எதாச்சும் சொல்லிற போறான்:ivan ethaachum sollira poraan</tamil>


okay let's choose some safe safe options then, okay, I'm still thinking about, I'm still thinking about your that hindi friend taking pure mathematics


ya, that's true, but you know that specialisation only has like err twenty twenty people maximum


ya, ya, ya <tamil>அதான்:athaan</tamil> so, so it's a very small specialisation


and, like <tamil>என்னோட:ennoda</tamil> OG group right germaine and, should I say names, germaine and, and michelle are doing applied then Madu and uh


Siqi are doing err statistics so I'm the only one doing pure


oh,


ya <tamil>புரீது:pureethu</tamil> , I mean <tamil>நானே வந்து:naanae vanthu</tamil> I only saw her like


she what ah she plan her timetable in a way right where she only need to come to school for two days <tamil>அதுக்கு அப்புறம் என்ன ஆச்சுன்னா வந்து:athukku appuram enna aachunnaa vanthu</tamil> when the semester started right one one of the oh my god I just dropped my glasses


one of the day so out of the two day one of the day became online like there was a online option so she ended up only coming to school one day a week and then after recess week <tamil>இருந்து:irunthu</tamil> she stopped attending that


physical tutorial because the tutors were wack for that modules, so she just didn't end up coming to school at all, wack, wack is like


oh my god get wisdom, get wisdom in the program like learn the slang


right <tamil>நான் நேத்து:naan nethu</tamil> I mean like thursday <tamil>தான் வந்து:thaan vanthu</tamil> exam <tamil>முடிச்சிட்டேன்:mudichittaen</tamil> friday I was like sitting on my bed like thinking like what am I supposed to do now


wack like W A C K, like crazy that's so crazy, ya, , basically the tutor right they'll be like


the way they teach it will be like okay, alright, it's like this and there will be these foreign students who, didn't have a good english grasp so it was just


ya, not teaching assistant student assistants, ya


(mmhmm)


oh after year one you didn't have, ya I think


(uh huh) (uh huh), dude that's so crazy <tamil>எத்தன பேரு:ethana peru</tamil> like


damn, what's computer science [orh]


, don't you think the system is a bit, wack like, it's a pattern that like students are not doing well like the first semester but like


actively <tamil>எதுவும் நடக்கறதில்ல:ethuvum nadakirathilla</tamil> it's just more like oh if you can't cope


ya if it's not broke, not if it's not broke don't <tamil>என்ன:enna</tamil> fix it ah


you know why, I read that like, singapore <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> err education is so tough because it's like you know how like, saudi <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> the resources like oil or things like that


in singapore the resource is like people, so they just treat people like a resource not like, a person


, ya I I get what you mean like, you don't get to learn the essence of what it is about it's more like oh <tamil>நீ:nee</tamil> <tamil>பண்ணிடய:pannitaya</tamil> now you can do this they don't tell you like oh it was developed for this this is the purpose <tamil>அந்த மாதிரி:antha maathiri</tamil> right


ya, ya I used to, semester one and sem two of year one right I would use to like go and look up all the theorems in my textbook to learn like why it was made and things like that


and brother I mean it made me like a more informed learner then I would able to apply it a bit better but then right I just didn't have the time brother it was


ya,


mathematics itself is okay I feel


, ya


ya my friends were saying the same thing they were like oh I totally gave up on that professor I just they like two like out of five people in my group two of them were using the same notes from online brother like, like they were both using the MIT notes to understand the <tamil>இது:ithu</tamil> because like brother his notes was so bad his teaching was so bad like


and you know what it's the easiest modules brother, it's the easiest modules because like the other two is like abstract algebra and like, calculus three but then this right is introduction to statistics like half of the not okay not half like one quarter of it right is A level statistics brother one quarter of it is A level statistics and we had such a hard time understanding what he's trying to


put out it was it was just, wack , ya <tamil>நீ வேற சொல்லிடல்ல:nee vera sollitalla</tamil> like you don't understand so I'm gonna I'm gonna use it frequently ya reinforce it


try saying a few times it's like funny and then it becomes like an actual thing that you say


(mmhmm), as in like right now


so cute


oh my god, crystal ball


what is this is this like a self praise session now, you're so, you are so wack


me I was reading the WhatsApp chat because like


they're choosing err there's like, there's like two modules we can me and my group can still do together, so we just trying to get that figured out like choose the same index because like


both of them have project works and we are mathematics major so we hate project works, so, it'll be good if we all end up together you know, dude <tamil>நான் நினைச்சே நான் வந்து:naan ninaichae naan vanthu</tamil> like I was like


it's just me <tamil>எனக்கு தான் வந்து:enakku thaan vanthu</tamil> group projects <tamil>புடிக்காது:pudikaathu</tamil> then we were all like that day we went out to lunch after finals do you remember, like you called and then, and we were talking and then all of us were like oh my god there's like group projects in the mathematics module like why does it make any sense


and we were all like upset,


ya, and like mathematics is such a individual thing most of the like ninety percent of the time, I just didn't realise the people around me were also like


not a fan of like, projects, ya <tamil>நினைச்சேன்:ninaichaen</tamil> I was like I just like I was like oh my god I'm just


but ya, right but each time right you will be so shocked like such a, like because it okay more often than not right it's a shared thing but then like <tamil>நம்ம:namma</tamil> internalised <tamil>பண்ணிறோம்:pannirom</tamil> so every single time when you realise it's like a shared thing right you're like oh my god this is really nice that everyone is feeling this


wack (oo)


oh my god ya but now that we are recording this or I'm thinking like oh, like when they listen back to it like, were we talking like, because <tamil>நாம பாட்டுக்கு பேசிட்டு இருக்கோம்:naama paattukku pesittu irukkom</tamil> like


it just, feels a bit


ya, what if like this podcast thing is also one of those things where like everyone thinks oh maybe I should create a podcast because like, like <tamil>இப்ப நாம சொல்றோம் பாத்தியா:ippa naama solrom paathiyaa</tamil> but they're like oh let's create a podcast we have such interesting home rules <tamil>அதே மாரி:athae maari</tamil> like <tamil>எல்லா:ellaa</tamil> group they like oh let's create a pod because now that you think about it germaine also told me we should create a podcast


ya, ya so like so <tamil>எல்லாருமே இப்பதான் யோசிக்குறாங்க:ellarumae ippa thaan yosikuraanga</tamil> you get it


(mmhmm), oh, ya, ya and then and then we talk about why we are checking on our phone right, like, you know what I mean


or just stare or breathe heavily, no err I was saying or I just stare and breathe heavily while like we just do nothing,


ya, the worst is I'm pretty sure <tamil>நீ பேசிட்டு இருக்கைல கூட:nee pesittu irukaila kooda</tamil> I will I will just like not say anything like even after you finish it then I'm just like, what how did


ya stops functioning, exactly, maybe we wouldn't be good at podcast


ya, ya, I already check the recording timing like


eight times at least


ya, ya we haven't


err I feel like this exam was like, like <tamil>போன:pona</tamil> exam <tamil>ஆச்சும்:aachum</tamil> I feel like, it was something that was like, capability wise I could just do it even if I like didn't study too much but this time it was like fully consuming my like whole day out like sit down and think and write and think and write


how about you was it


, ya


amazing, ya dude I wanted to start praying like after exam but I still haven't started, I should start so that, like


I say I say I should start praying so that, exam results turn out good, ya sia


I'm not go oh my god <tamil>நேத்து வந்து:nethu vanthu</tamil> so <tamil>நேத்து வந்து:nethu vanthu</tamil> was my day of like doing nothing right so at night I was like I was like okay time to watch this err


okay basically it's a cartoon but whatever time to watch this cartoon with my friend because like me and her we were like okay let's watch it after finals, so then <tamil>நான் வந்து அந்த:naan vanthu antha</tamil> group <tamil>கேட்டாங்க:kettaanga</tamil> they were like oh you wanna go out tomorrow then I was like hell no I'm watching I'm I have plans but <tamil>நான் சொல்லல:naan sollala</tamil> sounds like <tamil>எதோ நான் வெளில போறேன்:etho naan velila poraen</tamil> like but no


ya but no I'm just screen sharing with my friend while watching the cartoon anyway so I was like <tamil>நான் வந்து:naan vanthu</tamil> plans <tamil>இருக்கு:irukku</tamil> then then right okay, then one of the cousins right they called me twice


they called me twice to ask me and I felt like after that I felt like obligated to go because like throughout do you remember like throughout finals I kept having to, ya and I I think I carried that like guilty conscience which is bad


ya that's actually true like


I actually even told them like oh after thursday <tamil>நம்ம எப்ப வேணுனாலும்:namma eppa venunaalaum</tamil> meet <tamil>பண்ணலாம்:pannalaam</tamil> like but they still kept phone calling me like, every time like they were calling me like at least three times a week and it was like you know kind of draining to be like no I can't I've exams and then they will be like just take a small break


I don't think is <tamil>அன்பு தொல்ல:anbu tholla</tamil> I feel like at a point right it's more like they just, it it's just like they don't even wanna see, what like understand what you're saying they just want to be like oh let's have fun let's have fun


that kind, and it also feels a bit like, oh <tamil>தில்லா சொன்னா:thillaa sonnaa</tamil> maybe we can take her car, because right I never had this many phone calls before brother


never, in the in in fact right there was a period of time like err, I would say like, year one semester one year one semester two, basically until like may where they would go out without even calling me


and I was fine with that because I had, ya I I I personally believe that, so


like because last time they will go out in the like evening dinner time like they will gather go for dinner and then come back home by ten <tamil>அதுனால:athunaala</tamil> but nowadays they want to go out, Tasnee has a car


and Tasnee also has a car, ah but okay in this semester right Tasnee fought with almost everyone in the group, like due to some stuff so ya, so there were so they were like they didn't want to ask her to bring them rounding anymore you get


, err Thasleema only got her licence like, one week ago, ya


err I mean she still calls because even though she has a driving licence right this Thasleema she , no the car is like shared between her and her brother and her brother uses it a lot at night ya


ya actually we all have siblings of opposite genders


true all of us have brother, all of us have brothers, because we're all girls right


brothers okay, that is, wild like


oh my god, okay okay another thing like yesterday was my mom's birthday right and you know who reminded me err germaine she was like it's your mum's birthday you know why my mom her dad Isha'S dad all have like all all of them have fourth december as their birthday brother


ya like out of three six five days


sorry, oh same over here it hanged a bit what did I say, maybe I pause this recording and hear back


, I feel like out of three six five days like, what were the odds err I think that's what I said


ya, we should go together


it's march twenty first, , I guess so like, there are but the thing is


I guess so but I I I think because like <tamil>நாம வந்து நம்மள சுத்து இருக்குற எல்லாருமே வந்து:naama vanthu nammala suthi irukkura ellaarumae vanthu</tamil> like


so for them is like going out on the weekends or even like weekday night time is all of them is good for them because like they all working not like office hours so they will have like weekday


Thasneem only just started and even for her she only has school some days, it's not like everyday I think,


ya, err


, ya


are you talking about me, ya she's in hall eleven, ya Dipak saying she might even move out


she was in, because like err you know she started, I wouldn't my workload doesn't said no love


I think because she started school during this COVID period right so she finds that there's like, not enough activities for her to like, participate in, and she just feels like ya she just feels like she's


sitting in her room like studying only


oh okay okay <tamil>என்னோட:ennoda</tamil> video hang <tamil>ஆய்டுச்சு அதுனால தான்:aayeeduchi athunaala thaan</tamil> okay so the first topic that we are going to talk about is you want to start off with food, fun fact <tamil>நான் இன்னும்:naan innum</tamil> breakfast <tamil>சாப்பிடல:saappidala</tamil> and like


and it's like no the thing is that is going to be like one and then like


definitely okay so can start off with favourite food eh I actually don't know what your favourite food is


oh I know that your favourite is chocolate although it's not exactly like a meal your favourite is chocolate, I remember once ya what


non vegetarian version of <tamil>சாம்பார்:saambaar</tamil> oh speaking of which fun story !huh!, okay okay my dad bought


no the thing is my dad bought <tamil>பரோட்டாஸ்:parottaas</tamil> and you know like it's like a version of vegetarian and I'm vegetarian right, so <tamil>அந்த பரோட்டா வந்து: antha parottaa vanthu</tamil> like he brought it home and then he was like like we were all eating it so <tamil>மொதல்ல என்னோட அப்பா அம்மா சாப்பிட்டு முடிச்சிட்டாங்க:mothalla ennoda appa amma saapittu mudichutaanga</tamil> then <tamil>அதுக்கு அப்புறமா:athukku appuramaa</tamil> they open the second packet of <tamil>சாம்பார்:saambaar</tamil> and then as my mom was pouring it in


so I ask her to take out another piece and then like tear it if there's fibre it's meat right she tore it with her hands and then she was like !eww! and then her her !aiyo! inside her was freaking out she was like !aiyo! <tamil>நான் பாவம் பண்ணிட்டேன்ங்கற:naan paavam pannittaengra</tamil> range then I was like calm down <tamil>மா:maa</tamil> and then she like


ever since that day it's only been a week but she hasn't touched any outside food she's like, she didn't eat it though this is like a second packet so <tamil>ஒன்னு:onnu</tamil> was Dhal which was like a Dhal Dhal vegetarian


this was like a darker Dhal so my mom was like oh <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> packet <tamil>சாப்டுட்டேன் இதுதா மிச்சம் இருக்கு:saapttuttaen ithu thaan micham irukku</tamil> she put it luckily no one ate but still the fact that she touched the meat and then saw the fibre she was just like the whole day crying and, screaming at my dad like <tamil>உன்ன யாரு வாங்கிட்டு வர சொன்னா:unna yaaru vaangittu vara sonnaa</tamil> all that I'm like okay


ya I mean but that's the that's the when you said uh <tamil>நீ சொன்ன:nee sonna</tamil> which is like Dhal but the non-vegetarian version I was like yes I had ya


, not even sure if it's maybe it's <tamil>தாள்ச்சா:thaalchaa</tamil> because I don't know what it's called <tamil>இருக்கலாம்:irukkalaam</tamil> but ya


I mean


it is like a <tamil>கொழம்பு:kolambu</tamil> but like with some stuff inside and then they will put a bit of curd in and then I realise that's a very Kerala sort of a dish, that like no one really knows so when I was like


I remember being in primary school and <tamil>யார்கிட்டயோ பேசிட்டு இருந்தேன்:yaarkittayo pesittu irunthaen</tamil> then I was like oh <tamil>மோர் கொழம்பு சாப்பிட்டேன்:mor kolambu saappitaten</tamil> then everyone looked at me like <tamil>என்ன கொழம்பு:enna kolambu</tamil> and then I'm like, ya and then I had to be like oh you guys don't know what's <tamil>மோர் கொழம்பு:mor kolambu</tamil> and I had to break it down to them and realise that there's no way it can connect because it's just not the same thing


so this was, rice, I'm not sure I don't think it's the same thing this is like a watery you know maybe there's another dish but ya so <tamil>என் பாட்டி இத அடிக்கடி செய்வாங்க:en paati itha adikkadi seivaanga</tamil> so to me it's like <tamil>நான் சாபிடுறேன்னா இந்த உலகமே சாபிடுது:naan saappiduraennaa intha ulagamae saappiduthu</tamil> but


apparently not so ya, that <tamil>மோர் கொழம்பு:mor kolambu</tamil> thing olen it's called olen I hate it but like I thought everyone has it at home and I realise that it's something that I exclusively have it, ya I feel like I should


one day <tamil>உங்கள எல்லாரையுமே கூப்பிட்டு உன்ன:ungala ellaraiyumae koopittu unna</tamil> #deepa raja# I should just like let my grandmother cook and then I should like let you guys eat because it's like it's totally different cuisine


and let my grandma <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> risk <tamil>எல்லாம் நான் எடுக்க விரும்பல:ellaam naan eduka virumbala</tamil> will be like oh by the way right <tamil>ஆமா:aamaa</tamil> was like, you know like <tamil>என் வீட்ல ஒரு:en veetla oru</tamil> white <tamil>இருக்கு:irukku</tamil> then she's like oh <tamil>இதெல்லாம் பண்ணனும்:ithellaam pannanum</tamil> then she always keep put driving in but I have zero interest in starting


so it's like it's like impending doom leh like I I hate the thought of like having to go somewhere and learn driving but I'm like, I know like <tamil>நான் பண்ணியாகணும்:naan panniyaaganum</tamil> like it's a necessity but


first of all we don't have a car, it's like what's the point because I, if I were to drive


I don't know but err maybe it's just a mental block but I was just like what's the point like <tamil>எனக்கு வேணுனா:enakku venunaa</tamil> Grab <tamil>இருக்கு:irukku</tamil> car is like also expensive like I don't see a foreseeable future in which I drive but I know it's like a good skill to have and I know I have to do it but it's just something that I keep putting off I guess


rental (hmm) that's true,


, wait who's


like oh that does like the st john's, uh okay K okay K she has a brother I didn't know that, you know for some reason


for reason I always thought that she was like a only child, how how young are they how young are they


one is sixteen one is eighteen okay not that much of a age difference


true but Thaskeen is the oldest, it it it doesn't, she you know like usually older siblings have this aura around them you just know like they are like the oldest one, like she would strike me like I'll think that she'll be the youngest of the family


, ah are they spoilt though


eighteen year old, ITE west ah dude you know


, oh my god eh dude the inherent biases in the


whatever it's so apparent, , it's ya it's very far it's at no no I think it's at actually right <tamil>நான் மறந்துட்டேன்:naan maranthuttaen</tamil> AMD


location time to ask mister Google, you know like keeps keeps, like researching about AMD and then he is like, oh <tamil>அவங்க கூட எல்லாம்:avanga kooda ellaam</tamil> phone <tamil>எடுத்துட்டு போக முடியாது அதுக்குள்ளே இது பண்ண முடியாது:eduthuttu poga mudiyaathu athukulla ithu panna mudiyaathu</tamil> like laptop <tamil>எல்லாம்:ellaam</tamil> allow <tamil>பண்ண மாட்டாங்க:panna maataanga</tamil> camera I'm like calm down like <tamil>நம்ம போறோம் நம்ம போய் சேர போறோம்:namma porom poi sera porom</tamil> it's not like


what ya, ya he's the first one who got an he was the one who was like AMD AMD <tamil>போயே ஆகனும்:poyae aaganum</tamil> MD then I was just there like <tamil>எனக்கு எதாச்சும்:enakku ethaachum</tamil> internship <tamil>கிடச்சா போதும்:kidachaa pothum</tamil> and then ya he was like just ended up getting it, yup


because it's like I think it's pretty easy to get in and usually internship people don't wanna work inside the school again for internship they wanna work in a company


on the third round or fourth round they will start applying for labs inside NTU, and I think <tamil>ஒருவேள:oruvela</tamil> internship <tamil>கிடைக்கலேன்ன ரொம்ப:kidaikkalennaa romba</tamil> struggle <tamil>பண்றாங்கன்ன:pandranganna</tamil> the the administrative also tries to push these displaced students inside the NTU labs to work, so I think that's the stigma attached to it <tamil>எதுக்குன்னு தெரில:ethukkunnu therila</tamil> first round <tamil>அத போட்டா:atha pottaa</tamil> then he was like regretting because it's like you know we are doing like


electronic engineering but then that Rolls Royce laboratory is more power related so it's not exactly our specialisation so he was feeling a bit down, then he got like AMD's contact from Monisha then he <tamil>அங்க போயிட்டு:anga poyittu</tamil> he like


called up the HR and was like I have a offer but like I really want your company so like if you guys don't get back to me by like because we have a deadline to accept the offer so he was like, I have this deadline so like I will really like to join your company like could I get a reply or something so they called him and they were like had had had like an interview


basic <tamil>அவன் என்:avan en</tamil> resume <tamil>என்ன எழுதி இருக்கானோ:enna eluthi irukkaano</tamil> top to bottom they just went through, so <tamil>அதெல்லாம் முடிச்சுட்டு:athellaam mudichuttu</tamil> then he was like okay you're selected you can come in


like morning was my interview for AMD and then like my tattoo appointment <tamil>போயிட்டு இருக்கும் போது:poyittu irukkum pothu</tamil> they called me and I was like okay cool today's a good day


ya, and I also realise that <tamil>நான்:naan</tamil> like <tamil>சீக்கிரமா:seekiramaa</tamil> stress <tamil>ஆகுறேன்:aaguraen</tamil> because like there were people who were getting internships like one month after I got my internship, but when I was there right I was !aiyiyo! <tamil>ஏன்:yaen</tamil> internship <tamil>வரமாடீங்குது மாறி:vara maateenguthu maari</tamil> I was stressing up like


oh ya, ya I was like super stressed because


couple of my friends got in very soon and I think you know when, you don't know the whole picture your friends are your world so you've like a <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> friend <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> friend <tamil>இன்னொரு:innoru</tamil> friend <tamil>கிடச்சுருச்சுனா:kidachuruchunaa</tamil> !aiyo! <tamil>எல்லாருக்கும் கிடைச்சுருச்சு போலாம்:ellaarukkum kidaichuruchu polaam</tamil> I'm like the last person so I started panicking ya


but anyway it all ended up good, if I had gotten some other like terrible company during that period right I would have accepted the company because I was so stressed


but it wasn't even late it's just in my mind it was late, ya it's like they secured a spot they secured a spot ya, but you know what's ironic because I think the intern pay I think I've told you before like it's only one thousand like my pay and pay is one five


so it's like a really good, it it just feels better to work in a place where you're getting paid more like you're more willing to, overwork or you're more willing to, I don't think overworking is good but I'm just saying, ya like more willing to work for the company because you feel like you're compensated


ya that is that, the thing is right I feel like I'm the person who kind of naturally overworks so it's like at least, but actually ya it's a trap like how Google like makes the office very comfortable so people don't wanna leave Google then they just keep overworking


ya, !haiya!, don't know what to feel about this world and their tricks and how it's working on me


ah hopefully, it's not I'm not I'm not actually okay I don't know if it's excitement or nervousness because it sparks on like, eleventh january and eleventh january is a month and a few days away


so I'm like you know like like <tamil>ஓடி போய் ஒரு மாசம்:odi poi oru maasam</tamil> like in no time so <tamil>அதுனால:athunaala</tamil> I'm just very like <tamil>எனக்கு தெரில:enakku therila</tamil> lah I just wanna do well


do you have internship, year four


oh internship or final year project ah


don't you already oh so it's like more subjects on top of the existing subjects


actually that's that's, uh okay okay that makes sense


oh my god clearly not woken up yet ya what, , eh ya ya oh ya you need to choose it in year two right how how what did you choose


because I think I think people wanted to do data analytics and what not what not ya


oh maybe it's not you you know there was this girl called Nisha in my hindi class, I think she was the one saying that she didn't wanna do pure mathematics but I think she ended up doing pure mathematics her her plan right


dude dude you're in like a mental block I don't know which bully she's reminding you of but she's like a she's fine


no she's fun, , from what I remember I might be wrong lah, I think she's doing pure, and don't panic, remember like the first day of hindi class I took one look at her and I was like oh no she knows Thaani then I like I thought I would hate her and the whole thing is gonna be terrible but then I


I ended up liking the class I was in and was fine with them so I think you should just not go with such a mental block lah, ,


, uh, she'll probably be like


because her plan is to go into NIE immediately after and become a teacher


so that's her plan that's why because for her I think it's very hard to get into NIE from what I heard, so I think she would have met the criteria second of all, she was like NIE <tamil>ஒரு:oru</tamil> degree <tamil>பண்றது:pandrathu</tamil> not so much value mathematics degree <tamil>வச்சு:vachu</tamil> she goes to NIE I think she can get


like graduate in like eighteen months so sixteen months something like that, so she can, , I think that's like their go to move


ya I, !huh! really oh


oh I I didn't know that I I honestly don't know how NIE works but


that's cool, then I was telling my I was having a mid life crisis and like especially when I was doing my DIP, I was like it's not even a midlife crisis I think it's like a quarter life crisis but, oh it's a design and innovation project so when I was like we're suppose to build a single pixel camera so while


embarking on that project I was like Dharshini is engineering really what you wanna do I was like <tamil>இப்போ ரொம்ப கஷ்டமா இருக்கு:ippo romba kashtamaa irukku</tamil> like <tamil>எப்படி பண்ண போறோன்னு தெரில:eppadi panna poronnu therila</tamil> industry, so I was like maybe I should switch fields and I was like what do I switch to and then I was like maybe teaching because people were telling me that I would be a good teacher


like, but I don't know what makes people say so but I've been getting that particular like comment very very often like oh I think you'll make a good teacher, and then there was this one guy he was like you give me teacher vibes I was like what is teacher vibes


then he was like you're very calm and collected I'm like do you know whether I'm calm and collected because I'm like a wreck inside ya, clearly you know me too well but like people usually take one look at me and they like why are you so calm and collected how do you maintain your sanity I'm like have you seen me uh clearly have not


but I feel like you're my complain buddy, like anything wrong in life ya, actually right you're my, you're my complain buddy like I don't complain to people like this you and my mom


, same I feel like if I tell you one line you'll be like I know what you're talking about I don't have to like go and like give them the whole background like synopsis of my life


you you know what's crazy for for your stories right ya


you know I was considering psychology in secondary school but then I realised that, like I can't do the exams for psychology the amount of memorisation I will be a good like therapist, but if you were to ask me to study and then become a therapist I will be like I cannot remember and retain the concepts but I don't think I would necessarily be able to necessarily be able to what's that called ah


like regurgitate everything and like spit it out in an exam paper so ya, and then <tamil>நான் யோசிச்சேன்:naan yosichaen</tamil> actually okay like I <tamil>நம்ம இப்ப:namma ippa</tamil> dooe lock <tamil>பண்ணிட்டு:pannittu</tamil> there's still <tamil>பண்ணுன அப்புறம்:pannuna appuram</tamil> there's a key outside so it's like key <tamil>எடுத்தரலாமா:edutharalaamaa</tamil> then I was like <tamil>வேணா வேணா:venaa venaa</tamil> my key <tamil>எடுத்துட்டேன்னா தட்டி பாப்பாங்க:eduthutaennaa thatti paapaanga</tamil> then it will like so it was like okay


ya, things we have to like we have to like understand the pysch see we are great psychologist understand the psychology and be like okay this is what we have to do


and then, you know what's interesting I was like you know I wanted to a particular family member of yours we have and we claim and I was about to say it I was like oh this is not very friend , ya I was like


, <tamil>சொல்லாத தயவு செஞ்சு சொல்லாத மானம் பறந்துடும்:sollaatha thayavu senju sollaatha maanam paranthudum</tamil> ya, yes <tamil>நான் ரொம்ப பேசுற மாறி எனக்கு தோணுது:naan romba pesura maari enakku thonuthu</tamil>


eh dude it's gonna be fine you know <tamil>ரொம்ப பயப்படுறது எல்லா சப்பையா முடியும் நீ பயபடாதது தான் உனக்கு வினையா வந்து முடியும்:romba bayappadurathu ellaa sappaiyaa mudiyum nee bayapadaathathu thaan unakku vinayaa vanthu mudiyum</tamil> ya


you know my specialisation only has thirty people and like some of them are year four students that thirty people in a cohort of five hundred people so you can imagine, same boat


, I feel like I feel like I'm never doing like I've never seen Madhu of all your friends right I've


I feel like all your friends are chinese for some reason except for Esha like I've no I don't even remember seeing like Madhu although I I I think I've seen her once like a passing moment, but like not enough to like register her face in my brain I have like no idea who she is if I were to see her somewhere


oh ya, ,


you saw her before recess that's so long ago are you even friends you tell me the truth


elaborate wack for me what the hell is wack


sorry I'm a I'm a loser I'm a nerd I haven't stepped out of my house in years and years leh after the exams settle I have no idea what to do with myself I'm just like, this is not part of my system to be this free but ya okay so


I'm Googling wack and I don't know what it is


do you know what it tells me I understand but describe the craziness to me like how crazy is crazy


the tutors wait so you have teaching assistants teaching you


[orh] okay like student assistants okay cool, ya I think the only time I had student assistants was when err, when did I have student assistants


I think when I was in year one I had student assistants after that I didn't really have student assistants, ya I it was all professors teaching me but I think there's a lot of people who dropped out after year one because I the classes just shrank like like


ya I think there were a couple of the school chases out certain people then certain people drop out there's also certain people who switch modules like, but in the sense if your GPA is below two for the first two semesters


they will chase you out because the minimum you need to graduate is two and if you can't even pass two for the first two semesters there's no way you're gonna graduate well so they will like chase you out,


I'm I feel like it's a substantial number that this is a common phenomenon like I heard this in year one entering they were like oh make sure you do well for your first two semester because


and I also know I don't know lah it's just really bad, is like imagine okay this is triple E so I'm like okay fine like if you join computer science and you ask to drop out


like when I was in NJC, ya when I was in NJC right the guidance counsel around the time I was very unsure whether to go into business or like engineering or what, the guidance counsel was like I had a friend who went into computer science, like in that in those days you enter computer science that means you got all A's


so he got into computer science but after entering the first semester he did so badly that basically the school like suggested that he drop out so he drop dropped out and then he became like CEO later then he founded his own start up he's rich now lah but, the fact that he had to drop out a computer science student had to drop out within the first semester because it just wasn't for him so I think that a lot of people here and there out there


dude but JC itself is such an unnecessary stressful, redundant like legit I don't know, people are just not changing the system because I don't think there's anyone who is like actively voicing out or even if there's like active


ya but the thing is it is broke but then we are also not fixing it because everyone just like I guess finds a way to deal with the brokeness like, like scheme but I ya


dude okay the problem I have is that even if you have the resource right you want to like put me through this stringent system it's fine but I should graduate with a lot of knowledge I should graduate being a very well versed


like individual all I graudate with is this, is this like <tamil>ஒரு எப்படி சொல்றது:oru eppadi solrathu</tamil> like is like this <tamil>பிரம்ம:bramma</tamil> that I'm very very good or like, I like I can act intelligent or intellectual but I have nothing like I have no knowledge on how to operate very basic stuff that polytechnic students will know how to operate


like I know that cathode ray oscilloscope exist and I use it during laboratory but I memorise is, oh you turn this knob and then you turn that knob and then this result will come out I don't know what is going on, so university suppose to prepare you for that suppose to like educate you on that


I'm scoring well but I don't know what I'm doing and I think everyone is scoring well but they don't know what they are doing


ya and it's upsetting that this is what it has come down to


like ya you should see you know what's interesting I sometimes wonder if I should have done mathematics because I am like, out of all my engineering modules the modules that I skim through with no issues is mathematics like it will be at least a B plus


and I'm like and it's faster for me it's easier for me it's like, but maybe that's because it's mathematics like when it's physics and mathematics it definitely becomes harder because you have application you have to use your brain and think and all that stuff, so ya but at the same time


ya but I feel like if I were to join mathematics like as a module I think it will be so frustrating to just day in and for me, if it works out for you it's great but for me to like just day in and day out rope learning and then like


so ya there's a lot of physics in and out, so I I appreciate the mixture like I appreciate that it's not one thing, but I don't appreciate how hard it is like I feel like it's unnecessarily hard because, out of all the subjects right


the hardest subject was electromagnetism, the easiest subject was so hard to understand and I'm just there like it shouldn't be this hard like it's unnecessarily hard because you guys have made it, everyone just Googles like in YouTube and the chinese students are Googling MIT professors and they are like when the indian guy comes out I understand better I'm like cool


, , what are you paying them for


, I feel like your takeaway word of the day is wack I'll remember it uh


like reinforce that word !aiyo! so funny, !wah!, I think,


my uncle like was like calling me, and then I didn't pick up because clearly I'm doing this and then like, and I was like !haiya! I have a meeting I'll come over at three, and then he is like <tamil>பாட்டி:paati</tamil> just told me that you're not to be disturbed then I was like okay cool


ya, because I told my <tamil>பாட்டி:paati</tamil> I I I I I I expected this to happen you see we are great psychologists man I expected my uncle to call me so I told her specifically you go tell him not to call me because he didn't pick up when I called


and then here he is calling here's my mom trying to enter and I'm like, ya, !wow! I should, I should, with the purple ball or something and be like, I forgot what it's called be a fortune teller


ya ya okay okay , no you should look at my action then you understand !haiya! look like a <tamil>கரடி:karadi</tamil> that's besides the pony, !haiya! I know !haiya! I was trying to like replicate the action


see I'm such an actor I should I should go into acting too, hello you should be praising me it shouldn't be a one way stream come one I I I


oh, what else, what are you doing now


(mmhmm) okay,


ya ya makes sense lah, to me


ya ya ya ya, , do you know


you know when I was in JC right I had a mathematics project like our teacher physically like, calculating the it was like a wack ass project I'm like when does mathematics have project and this is JC and it was the year of like


after P I'm like I thought PM was the only project I was so angry that I had to go through that project like I didn't sign up for this shit, but okay


, equally unappreciative of the fact that you guys have to do it together


I just you know I realise the more you talk to people the more you realise that your misery is largely a shared misery irregardless of topic, ya


true man and you know what's amazing okay this is random but because I use the word irregardless while I was talking to you, I was trying to memorise something for my exams and then for one of the exams, for the sentence structure right so I just finished it in a way where it was like something like


the there will be voltage and irregardless of the nanobenzene or something inside, when I put benzene inside then I was like saying irregardless then my mum was like no no it's regardless then I'm like no no, it's irregardless, then we had to go Google it and then it was like


what ah irregardless is like a synonym of regardless or something then I was like oh okay that's cool so my mom, uses regardless while I use irregardless for majority of my sentences that was just like wack, I caught on yes


oh remember how once we once upon a time we were considering have a podcast, ya


you know ya while we were talking right I was like thinking to myself <tamil>இதெல்லாம் எவனாச்சும் கேப்பானா கேட்டா:ithellaam yevanaachum keppaanaa kettaa</tamil> entertaining <tamil>இருக்குமா:irukkumaa</tamil>


, ya but I feel like


you told me we should create a podcast like it wasn't my idea and you told me Deepak told you that we should create a podcast or something ya


I feel like maybe the difference is because when we are talking as friends right we would have pauses, but since we are doing something right I think we are deliberately not having as many pauses like <tamil>முடிஞ்ச அளவுக்கு:mudinja alavukku</tamil> we are filling in with topics, I feel like that's taking up a lot of energy when you're like in a natural conversation you pause for a while you check your phone you do something and be like ah wait a second


or like you eat and ya, ya and then <tamil>இத நான் பாத்தே அத நான் பாத்தேன்:itha naan paathae atha naan paathaen</tamil> , !huh! what


ya , your brain just like processes it and then it like slowly reply and then I will be like <tamil>இந்த:intha</tamil> reply <tamil>இன்னைக்கு உள்ள வந்து சேருமா:innaikku ulla vanthu serumaa</tamil> oh


speaking of replies right I went, I looking at today's progress right I was like I don't think it's a good idea wait we don't have to sit there and like slog for two hours right we can have like a twenty minute twenty minutes is reasonable


I think it depends on our duration that we choose though, speak for, I think the first time I check, you know the first time I check I think it was like thirty minutes thirty one minutes and then I was like okay <tamil>அதுதான் நம்மளோட தாக்குபிடிக்க கூடிய:athu thaan namma thaaku pidikka koodiya</tamil> because after that it was just like okay


we just have to stretch it out but I don't know it's been really quiet during exam time right we've not really been speaking much, like ya ya


ya I mean all my exams have been very tiring but, I think this year is the year I've been the most prepared for all my shitty papers so I I I did better than I would have other semesters


but I feel like for the amount of effort I put in, the marks I mean if the marks come out I will know lah but I'm not sure I I really don't know how it's gonna turn out this semester is gonna be, I hope it turns out well I hope I look at the marks and I'm just there like amazing like Dharshini you did so well but okay let's see


ya and


just like okay time to start listening to music again time to like have a life I don't have a life yet


but okay in my defence it's only been two days since my exams ended so I've not been doing much, eh but you've been going out so often someone is very busy


okay K K, uh


uh


(uh huh)


ya I know you kept rejecting ya, I don't know I don't know what you are guilty about because it's like a exam time <tamil>வெளில போக கூடாதுங்கறது:velila poga koodaangrathu</tamil> it's common sense and they should be understanding about it I don't know why you felt guilty and whatever you're nice


just <tamil>தொல்ல:tholla</tamil> ya okay cool


, oh


I think your, I think your car is your demanding factor which is attracting everyone right now


ya from what you're saying also seems like that lah whatever, but does no one else have a car


okay then why don't they drive, okay, okay


[orh] okay then what about the other girl Thasleema, [orh] okay cool


not confident enough to drive yet


[orh], why does everyone have like a girl and a guy sibling together like the whole family has a mix of, ya it's interesting


different genders right ya interesting, and all of them have sisters ya, like the brothers have asister the sisters have a brother there's like a balance of


ya, eh you know you know what's weird I think there was a point in time where


everyone in secondary school had a brother or sister, with a four year age difference so they would be in secondary one and then everyone was like oh all my brothers and sisters are collecting A levels like Deepa'S brother, err Rupa'S sister miley's brother were all collecting results the A level results at the same time and I was like why do you guys have the same like siblings in the same age range it's crazy for me


ya, (uh huh), ya


the very same day dude that's, that's amazing coincidence ya, eh what I didn't catch that


ya I don't know I I no lah I think


[orh] okay I didn't hear that so I think that's what she said


ya like I'll do anything to be, someone is too busy with their cousins are you sure your cousins when is her wedding next year right


she's like literally going out everyday like as if there's no tomorrow, eh but she also doesn't have a job she also


I think she has nothing to entertain her,


, isn't Thasneen studying


, next year is oh it's still year two for you


ah for some reason since it's internship right I I keep thinking okay it <tamil>இதுக்கு அப்புறமா:ithuku appuramaa</tamil> the next time I study it's gonna be year four I I keep thinking like okay everyone is still next time they go to school is like gonna be one year ahead but ya it's not, and Deepak is in year one


I I don't think he ever had the university experience that we did, but I don't know she is sticking to some secondary school friends or something right


no no not you like there's another uh, uh okay that's the friend, and I have no idea who she is though


move out next semester, would you, she what she started


ya, occupy her time okay


(mm)


okay so, oh ya you met


(mmhmm), Starbucks


ya Starbucks lah, oh <tamil>கேக்கலையா:kaekkalaiyaa</tamil> I was like <tamil>ஏன்:yaen</tamil> err Tharshini <tamil>வந்து:vanthu</tamil> like, ya


ya you just talk about Starbucks Liho, ya the reply will be instantaneous


ya, , err, lady's finger


ya for you I'm gonna get indigestion, at this rate, as like


I just got a text from the cousin group they were like shall we meet around Fourish, the cousin group they texted they were like shall we meet around four


brother I tell you like one of the girls right half the time okay this is becoming a tea session, let's talk about, this bag I wanna buy, wait let me send it to you


it's a CHARLES & KEITH bag and my mum was like oh <tamil>பத்து வெள்ளிக்கு கீழைனா வாங்கிக்கோ:paththu vellikku keelainaa vaangikko</tamil> then I'm like mum what CHARLES & KEITH bag is below ten dollars you tell me, but it's like


oh, why do you call it spike bag, oh


ya didn't you see me use it quite a few times, it's like, no I went to, look at no I forgot like that there were studs on it I just remember like the texture is like crumpled


ya black and, this bag is cute, why, it's not about fitting in it's about wearing it for, and like struggling

but this bag is so cute, ya I always I actually drink a lot of water, no but okay I read this somewhere right you have to drink like


you can't just chug water it's like not healthy you must like drink like about two hundred ML every hour, , no as in like if you were gonna drink, if you were gonna drink then like this is the rate or something around there lah so <tamil>நா வந்து:naa vanthu</tamil> I will never chug my water so I know at night I will be like

ya ya, she was the one who was very against unions and it was like I don't know she's a complicated she's so sexist and she's female it's so ironic


, no, no, I think she made a lot of stupid decisions


but, I feel like the the british public are pretty unkind sometimes like they're very cut throat so I I've nothing to say lah I like <tamil>அங்கே இருந்து:anga irunthu</tamil> like full <tamil>முழு:mulu</tamil> facts <tamil>தெரிஞ்சாதான் எதுவோ சொல்ல முடியோ:terinjaathaan ethuvo solla mudiyo</tamil> I don't know the full facts like this is something that I

(mmhmm) that's true, haa so so, crazy that this is someone's life and we're just like judging and dissecting I think it's also unfair, on our part to be this critical but I can't help it


you know diana's the wedding outfit is so iconic, ya


dude that's so you know it's it's amazing how like <tamil>அந்த காலத்துல எவனோமே அத தப்புனே சொல்லுல:antha kaalatthula evanomae atha thappunae sollula</tamil> like <tamil>யாருமே யாராவது:yaarumae yaaraavathu</tamil> like <tamil>மானபங்கம் படுத்தினாங்கனா:manabangam paduthinaanganaa</tamil> like it's always like oh <tamil>நீ ஏன் ஒழுங்கா:nee yaen olungaa</tamil> cover up <tamil>பண்ணுல நீ ஏன் ஒழுங்கா போடுலே:pannula nee yaen olungaa podula</tamil> like (mmhmm), like no one was like <tamil>ஒன்ன யாரு அந்த மாதிரி:onna yaaru antha maathiri</tamil> like


ya but you know it it did but it's like it became a it was okay even if you're a sensation to the world right if the people closest to you are like <tamil>ஏன் இப்படி பண்ண:yaen ippadi panna</tamil> like <tamil>இது பண்ணது சரியில்ல:ithu pannathu sariyilla</tamil> or like <tamil>ஏதாவது ஒன்ன குறை சொல்லிகிட்டே இருந்தாங்கனா:ethaavathu onna kurai sollikkittae irunthaanganaa</tamil> you would hear that first right you wouldn't really hear like other people being like oh you look like really good or somrthing and second of all it's like her it's like her private


like you know she wasn't prepared for it she was like it's different when you wear leggings or tights essentially it's just the silhouette which can be seen right but when it's done without permission it just feels like a, it it just feels like, it's outrage of modesty right at in its essence so I don't think


what they did is right ya, I think it's pretty sad how like


(mmhmm) I mean ya maybe maybe she handles it better than everyone else in her whole life


could be, but it should be like that for everyone right so maybe it's like


maybe she has not much to be private about, like there's no, like <tamil>அவங்க சுத்தி இருக்குறவங்க ரொம்ப:avanga suththi irukkuravanga romba</tamil> immoral ah <tamil>இருந்தாலோ:irunthaalo</tamil> she people say I guess she was very like able to control her self or don't know what


isn't that her husband, what's wrong with being devoted to her husband


that is her husband right philip, ya but she didn't have an affair with anyone else right it's just her husband


oh okay okay I thought you were disputing and I was like are we saying the same thing I was like ya from what I understand she is a very, ya I think her married life is pretty good


you know I accidentally put queen elizabeth wife and then they show prince william and then I was like Google knows what I am talking,


queen oh my god her birthday is on twenty first april and she's ninety four years old


and, and prince philip is ninety nine years old, her husband is ninety nine eh, ya


ya, and I think sixty nine is cooler, , it's fine, err, because they are reflections of each other what are you thinking about Dilrus

also sixty six it can both be multiplied three like !wow! we're geniuses right, oh !wow! three can be multiplied by one


(mmhmm)

!aiyo! you know what's ignorance is bliss as long as she doesn't realise that she is getting conned it will be good for her she'll be happy


, you know like a lot of our teachers weren't that good in teaching I wonder what why they are like okay being a teacher would be a good idea and then like became a teacher


a lot of our teachers aren't good teachers so I don't know what brought them to the conclusion that they you know teaching should be the career I should choose and let me ruin a couple of student's life


ya, ya, do you know who's the teacher mister Koh something, he's


I never had mister Goh but I heard great things about him, I heard that in MI there are a lot of great teachers

like medicine, actually engineering oh I was told that you have to continuously study, I guess a lot of professions you have to continuously study is very few that you don't have to update yourself in


even if you want to become a dance instructor right you have to keep updating on the new moves new style and everything I remember my Bharatanatyam teacher being like oh like <tamil>இந்த அடவ நா இப்பதான் புதுசா கத்துக்கிட்டேன்:intha adava naa ippathaan puthusaa kathukkitaen</tamil> then I was like <tamil>இந்த அடவ புதுசாவா நீங்க என்னா:intha adava puthusaavaa neenga ennaa</tamil> invent <tamil>பண்ணிக்கிட்டே இருக்கிங்கலா:pannikkittae irukkeengalaa</tamil> so they will have like small variations here there


they will look at what the other artists are doing I I think there is no escaping from learning like I I feel like you have to keep learning lifelong, which is sad lah, like you're never done, and you know when I was in primary school people used to be like oh primary school is like enjoy your childhood like <tamil>அந்த மாதிரி:antha maathiri</tamil> and I was like no no this is very shitty I'm pretty sure like it can't get shittier than this and then it does and then you're like !wow! and that's when you realise you're adulthood when you start missing childhood like now I look at children and I'm just there like please enjoy your life now because it's gonna get hard


being a what, ya, it definitely is


oh my god, then #hum chin# was like telling me the other day after the exam because I was a bit pissed off I made a careless mistake which I think I made I was and then he was like oh but you know this era's the best era to live in look at the age of technology and you're like living before like we destroy the planet too much this is like the right age and I was just there like #hum chin#


he is and then I was just there like, and then I was like okay all that is fair #hum chin# but did I ask for this life and then he was like (mmhmm) good point and then he was like no like <tamil>அந்த காலத்துல வாழ்த்தேனா:antha kaalathula vaalnthenaa</tamil> the life expectancy <tamil>வந்து ஒரு அம்பது வயசு தான்:vanthu oru ambathu vayasu thaan</tamil> then I was like okay that's fair but eh I didn't asked to live till hundred then #hum chin# didn't know what to say he was like <tamil>நீ என்னா சாகுரதுல:nee enna saagurathula</tamil> concentrate <tamil>பண்ணிட்டிருக்கே:pannittirukkae</tamil> I'm like I'm not concentrating on dying I'm just saying that like its unneccessarily to live so long


like what am I gonna do living like a hundred years like unless I'm a very important figure in history like #mahatma gandhi# or something okay fine like what is a normal human being going to do till the age of hundred like what's the point of living so long like, you're like taking up resources you can't be a very


would be dying also so I'm just there like I remember after a certain age right all you hear about your friends is like oh this person died this person died yesterday that person died person is in old folks' home right it gets like very few people have a very happy retirement age or like a retirement time


and very few children are very accepting of their parents or very kind, they also have their own life, you know like <tamil>நீ ஒரு அறுவது வயசு வரைக்கும் வாழ்த்தேனா தக்குனு இருந்துட்டு வாழ்ந்துட்டு போலா:nee oru aruvathu vayasu varaikkum vaalnthenaa takkunu irunthuttu vaalnthuttu polaa</tamil> like if you are there till like hundred if you yourself are going to live till hundred your child would be what sixty seventy


ya I know that's why I


where


okay


I, I think he was pretty happy with the exams I think he, did relatively well and he did better than he expected but I think there was one particular paper which was very hard it was hard for everyone so it's not like we


everyone faced a hard time during that particular exam so except for that particular exam I think ya he did he smart what he is in partial scholarship he's a very smart kid so shouldn't be an issue for him and even when he's partial, scholarship means that you know like for international students it's like sixty thousand dollars fees something right so he only needs to pay half of it


but you know even after partial scholarship, who's like, even after partial scholarship right he, he only needs okay what was I oh even after partial scholarship he only needs to


what's that called he still needs to pay thirty eight thousand like <tamil>நாலா ஒரு இருவத்தி நாளு ஆயிரம்லா:naalaa oru iruvathi naalu aayiramlaa</tamil> pay <tamil>பண்ணுற என்:pannura en</tamil> course <tamil>க்கு:kku</tamil> and I'm not even on scholarship like my school fees as a singaporean is only like twenty four thousand while he even after partial scholarship he has to pay thity eight thousand so that's a bit sad lah for him


ya, I I'm not sure though I think it's just the singapore government like I I don't know which central bodies even if it is singapore airlines or like any big company right in essence they're all like owned by like


it's it's basically like interlinked like it's it's singapore providing scholarships because my uncle studied in the singapore airlines scholarship right but ya I I guess the company's representing but it's not like they're working for the company or the company is providing the scholarship it's more like singapore is providing the scholarship


ya it's like <tamil>அந்த:antha</tamil> government

ya, it's the worse when the other party cannot err hold a conversation also, then my defense mechanism is to talk more to make up for the silence in between, so they will and then if it will come to a point where they don't even want to input I will just be doing the entire talking ya


either that or I will just keep quiet cause I really cannot carry the conversation that's how it goes, yup, , (mmhmm)
