but like if this I mean like crew mostly are all like eh younger younger people like most of the most of the crews are younger people right, like you all never talk about like aspiration or anything meh like, what you what you all want to what what like they want to do in their life like I believe lah because most of the crew should should these should be like either their temporary work like


currently do only one then or like this is their first shop like they never talk about their aspiration meh,


, well


, like I thought it will be boring mah I mean like you you talk talk about boyfriend how long can you talk about it lah


I mean like four guys be personally like when we talk about this stuff like actually, unless there's like like like ya you say lor unless like you you like <mandarin>女朋:nv peng</mandarin> like girls are involved ah


oh okay lor <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> lor <mandarin>好就好这样:hao jiu hao zhe yang</mandarin> like at most like one or two words then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> uh conversation <mandarin>就结束了:jiu jie shu le</mandarin>


like will will will crews like cheat with each other, got like these stories or not like like crews ah like between crews like they cheat among each other, you got ah


oh


but you said but they is like matter <mandarin>你不是讲空姐就很难找:ni bu shi jiang kong jie jiu hen nan zhao</mandarin> boyfriend oh now <mandarin>他们怎样找:ta men zen yang zhao</mandarin> like how they how do they find like other outside people leh, like how do they meet other outside like like passengers ah cannot be right


, , well correct ah that's true,


and then, got such cases or not


!wah! before flight ah like <mandarin>之前:zhi qian</mandarin> ah, !wah! #gou jiu#


<mandarin>自己夸自己:zi ji kua zi ji</mandarin> ah

, that's , so so technically you have been out of work since like may lah


before that


is it I thought is I thought is got one month also ah not meh, you are right


, ya


ya lah I think I remember so that time, during during that during those period I remember like like you want to do part time also cannot like, ya like in case they call you then you need to straight away go down to airport and fly


ya like ya I think uh quitting is a better decision lah, like at least you can make ah


(mmhmm)


(mmhmm),


never encounter , , <mandarin>是你造成的:shi ni zao cheng de</mandarin>


ya lor, so unlucky, ya ya,


!haiya! nothing no call lah , ya no four hours no call then suddenly when I decide when I when I need to answer a call answer a phone call then suddenly like <mandarin>医生就叫你进去:yi sheng jiu jiao ni jin qu</mandarin> Liao


ya,


but at least like after you quit at least I think your mental health is slightly better, right, mental health, mental health ya


, !aiya!, ya lah actually right now the situation like that at at the


see how is like just cut down like so many jobs and everything, ya I think as a crew now also not doing very well like even like


airline industry <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> retail industry <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> take the heat quite badly mah, ya Heng lah


, expected this ah


yes you are, ya ya you're jobless rather than like maybe I'm not jobless maybe I'm self employed


uh actually he his situation is quite interesting also ya that I think I you told me before, like want to come here also cannot then


cause malaysia still long term then want to go back want to stay there do something also like cannot like that, ya ya lor, he actually quite bad eh maybe can like catch up with him and get get his update living I think his situation is one of the


more unique one because like I mean like what I heard is that a lot of like the crews that is like err foreign foreigner crews already like, gonna cut off them <mandarin>他们就可以回的:ta men jiu ke yi hui de</mandarin> lor <mandarin>那就:na jiu</mandarin> like <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> okay ah last by don't know whether he whether he still employed or not your friend


err, !wah! <mandarin>很快:hen kuai</mandarin> oh


Macam okay lah but <mandarin>我自己也有学:wo zi ji ye you xue</mandarin> investment lah at least COVID period I think is a good good investment opportunity


you know, I gained a bit, from the from the down bucket like <mandarin>就现在就是另外一个:jiu xian zai jiu shi ling wai yi ge</mandarin> down market like at least like we can make use of the current capital, but a bit sad lah because like I think got like fifty percent of my capital is locked up off err on err


options that is still not expiring yet but it's currently because the market is like nearing to the election all is going down, all is all is taking a hit right so err, the options currently is all going down like like my portfolio down by two K


down by two K ya down by two K already, ya so but I think it's because it's a down market still got of cash inside it, then maybe at the optimum time then go in again then maybe can't write up the wave again


hopefully lah hopefully finger cross


, now


ya, it will recover eventually lah


, ya, ya ya


, , uh, ya lah <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lah <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lah, actually the wedding quite quite fun lah for me I just worried that like cause that day

the, err how to say <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> the medical advancements lor, I'm I'm not sure lah because, if you look at other countries I mean you we don't talk about <mandarin>我们不要讲美国跟中国:wo men bu yao jiang mei guo gen zhong guo</mandarin> lah when you talk about maybe


our neighbouring countries like err indonesia all these they got a lot of cases also right, so but I don't think <mandarin>他们有好像:ta men you hao xiang</mandarin> like what you mentioned <mandarin>好像苍蝇这样一个一个这样在路边倒下来这样:hao xiang cang ying zhe yang yi ge yi ge zhe yang zai lu bian dao xia lai zhe yang</mandarin> but still think the fertility rate


the death rate lah right in other countries are, relatively high lah right, so, so you mean

(uh huh), you mean, ah


oh okay, I get what you mean lah you mean there's a super high tech technology now right but it's not brought up brought into the public lah, (hmm)


so ya, ah ya, (hmm)


oh, (hmm) (hmm)


ya ya it's a quite, ya it's something to be expected lah I guess, right since <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> you know like robots all these, like take drones for example


a drone will just drone you know the the remote control the small like the, ya the flying drones you know


the person who's driving the helicopter, and also the camera man, right, ya, become a what missile


weapon ah, ya ya ya I mean


[orh] [orh], oh then the american explode lah, you know I tell you I tell you if if touch wood lah there's a world war three in the future, it I don't think it will be the same as

McDonald's <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> comeback with the fried chicken !huh! is it true I didn't get to actually, check it out, you know I think I think is is not a new recipe I think back, no as in McDonald's ah McDonald's now I think back then they actually came up with this fried chicken


menu I mean a fried chicken meal set lah so I think now is back back in, ya I I'm not sure I saw it somewhere on Facebook or Telegram I forgot, ya, McDonald's fried chicken


eh <mandarin>你吃过吗:ni chi guo ma</mandarin> actually <mandarin>我看人家吃:wo kan ren jia chi</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>很大个:hen da ge</mandarin> leh, [orh] burger king salmon

(hmm) salmon ya, no but it's not it's not <mandarin>好像我们:hao xiang wo men</mandarin> when we talk about fat !huh! when <mandarin>我们讲:wo men jiang</mandarin> about


salmon belly <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> it's not <mandarin>好像不会油对吗不会好像:hao xiang bu hui you dui ma bu hui hao xiang</mandarin> greasy right so it's like a very satisfying, fat right, like if you talk about pork belly


(ppc) <mandarin>也是肥吗不过:ye shi fei ma bu guo</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>吃久了:chi jiu le</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> Jiatlat lah, right then, so salmon salmon belly all these are actually, maybe that's why it's expensive lah

, dave uh dave I cannot really hear


hello dave, ya, ya better now


play a instrument is it, oh okay were you from a a band like a choir band or something


school band lah, oh military band, so what what


(hmm), (hmm) oh navy band, (hmm), B, BMT ah


okay, why


no but back then you already have you already in the choir band right as in choir, concert band lah or something, I mean before you enter you are you enter army actually you already have have uh experience in music lah right


[orh] ya lah, ya lor,


so he he granted your wish lah, ha, ha, ha


!whoa!, so <mandarin>你帮他做:ni bang ta zuo</mandarin> lor, (hmm) but, but at least he, at least <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> in the end <mandarin>他有放你去:ta you fang ni qu</mandarin> military band is it


oh I mean navy navy band sorry ya, oh cool lah ya lah, some more


compared to, hor compared to <mandarin>现在的:xian zai de</mandarin> army ah really, the past army is really !wah! the real


[orh] , !aiya!, [orh]


ha, !aiya! I mean after all army is two years ah right, then, sorry back then !huh! two and a half, oh uh that's in the past I think <mandarin>现在现在的:xian zai xian zai de</mandarin> army I think standard Liao so if <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> pass <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> IPPT before <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> enter army ah then <mandarin>你只需要:ni zhi xu yao</mandarin> serve


one year ten months, so


that's why <mandarin>很多人不要去:hen duo ren bu yao qu</mandarin> mah right, so before <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> enter army <mandarin>你不是需要去:ni bu shi xu yao qu</mandarin> check up lor


ah NAFA test, so physical test so if you pass then you will just have to serve one year ten months <mandarin>一年十个月:yi nian shi ge yue</mandarin> lor


physical test <mandarin>不好:bu hao</mandarin> lah right so <mandarin>我就需要:wo jiu xu yao</mandarin> serve <mandarin>两年:liang nian</mandarin> lor, so at most is only two years lah ya ya now now is different, , ya so even if you got go to OCS is also two years lah


so, ya lor that's why I say last time is more, BMT, okay BMT if if my fitness is good let's say I passed the physical fitness test


ya [loh] ya [loh] <mandarin>有好有坏:you hao you huai</mandarin> lah so, the four months you have in BMT right you <mandarin>你就比较轻松啦因为你有四个月的时间:ni jiu bi jiao qing song la yin wei ni you si ge yue de shi jian</mandarin> mah so


ah how to say training lah so like you need to exercise a lot right you need to train a lot so <mandarin>好处是你很多:hao chu shi ni hen duo</mandarin> admin time lor


the shooting the grenade throwing or the other exercises the same as those who only serve to for <mandarin>两个月:liang ge yue</mandarin> lah so


two more months of your civilian time, ya so, for <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> for example <mandarin>我是我是:wo shi wo shi</mandarin> serve <mandarin>两个月而已嘛在:liang ge yue er yi ma zai</mandarin> BMT


so it's like <mandarin>每天:mei tian</mandarin> maybe, fifteen minutes including bathing time leh, so ya depends on how you see it lah


eh dave I cannot really hear you again, ya, err


if you fail your BMT ah, ya ya, four months, now is four months lor so if you fail your

!aiya! Facebook [lah] ya, #gou e hiao tia# [lah], Kong [ah] #buay da jin kiang# [ah], [ah] #ta ta wei tio#


okay <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> clap three two, one, okay can you hear me, yup so what did you do yesterday


why not today ah !aiya! <mandarin>我今天:wo jin tian</mandarin> like never do anything much say that's why I ask yesterday, what you do


[orh], <mandarin>你有看:ni you kan</mandarin> netflix mah


[orh], okay lor <mandarin>现在你:xian zai ni</mandarin> you which season now already


what's the episode the top ah, (uh huh) kevin


oh, ya


oh ya then after that michael he still, he flex a bit right he know how to ice skate a bit so he actually went around, stupid


[orh] suits, just !aiya! don't think you will like also it's lawyer kind of stuff it's like all the you know those, no you won't like these kind of in deep okay lah maybe you would like it is like <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> drama lah it's not about <mandarin>律师:lv shi</mandarin> fight


it's like not <mandarin>律师:lv shi</mandarin> fighting for justice it's more of like oh behind the scenes oh you talk bad about me so I'm going to sue you, very


true lah <mandarin>有一点:you yi dian</mandarin> drama lah like, like uh for okay so for example one of the main character ah he got into jail because he's not a lawyer, correct but the whole show is about lawyer


(hmm) yup, ya so he he's very smart lah you know like those <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> typical <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> troupe lor like !wah! he's very smart until he can memorize everything he see like !wah! he don't need to go school <mandarin>一看书就知道:yi kan shu jiu zhi dao</mandarin> like what's going on so then he's very talented lah in a sense then after that he tried out this lawyer role and then he became a lawyer so after like a few seasons later he got exposed as a not a lawyer lah like he didn't take the bar


so he went to jail so, ya as a lawyer show about a a lawyer not being an official lawyer for the first few season !aiya! <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> drama mama lah I don't know whether you like it or not


oh goodness, !haiya!


and then the reboot is just


so, okay, cause you haven't watch finish the series yet , so okay lah the series had a good end I don't really like friends myself lah so <mandarin>我不知道:wo bu zhi dao</mandarin> but like the office itself had a pretty good ending lah to a a like a okay towards the end season even


it's the writing was very bad lah it's not as good as the first few seasons, so, ya so the !aiya! you, you are at season two lah then there's like I think got like <mandarin>七八个:qi ba ge</mandarin> ah can't remember how many seasons but at the end


ya I think so also, can't remember but <mandarin>我知道:wo zhi dao</mandarin> like at the okay so the ending was good, like it ties up everything, but then you know like as all the sentimental values then all the actors say eh I think it's a good idea to uh do a reboot then stanley ah


!wah! stanley <mandarin>这个厉害:zhe ge li hai</mandarin> he wanted to start a whole new series just about him and his family, , which is bad lah okay so you should watch like the latest seasons ah like dwight also tried to make a like a


like a show about himself but it failed lah it was quite a bad episode, so it's like


so it's like okay so <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> office like the I <mandarin>不知道:bu zhi dao</mandarin> wait ah <mandarin>想不起:xiang bu qi</mandarin> not quite sure seasons so there's one season where okay dwight they wanted to create a spin off series about dwight and his like his family and his like farm life


so they, ya so they did, ya ya so they did one episode in the office itself but then he was quite badly received so they didn't continue with the series, then it's like now the whole series over already then <mandarin>他们又要回来做多一个新的:ta men you yao hui lai zuo duo yi ge xin de</mandarin> series like <mandarin>不要:bu yao</mandarin> lah like as in it's already ended at such a place already like nobody has complaints or anything then suddenly you want to start a new one then you know like the reputation maybe will become worse than before also


ah


uh


don't know leh <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> like <mandarin>我都不喜欢看:wo dou bu xi huan kan</mandarin> friends I don't know it's just very, it's I hate I hate canned laughters I hate comedies who have like those false laughter with them it's so damn stupid


it's damn annoying lah


nah I, I can't get into it I it's like <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> I really cannot take it it's canned laughters are the worst thing that turned me off from a series especially like like uh rom com rom com with canned laughter are the worst


so friends is one of them, one very prime example they sometimes talk about like comedy with like some some hints of like flirting and romance ah then they must say until some they will say something dirty then it's like


a bit funny only then after they have to make like the canned laughter track at the back then it's like !aiyo! <mandarin>你当做我们是三岁小孩:ni dang zuo wo men shi san sui xiao hai</mandarin> meh don't know when to laugh ah must put these kind of laughter for what, so annoying


can't can't, can't relate the first the first few episodes I watch I also, don't like already I stop it already it's like uh


!aiya! I think if I give it a try I still won't like it because I think even if they change the first few episodes from the pilot <mandarin>还是有那个:hai shi you na ge</mandarin> canned laughter mah which is the one thing that put me off entirely from the show I mean, like have you heard of community


ya so, so community is community is something like friends without the canned laughter, ya but the whole premise of it is kind of stupid also lah it's !aiya! <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> office like that lor but the office managed to make like something boring into something interesting


community is just like, et cetera et cetera so it's like, ya and then friends is !aiya! friends is just I cannot take it got the canned laughter so that's a no no off my list straightaway


oh ya I heard


nah, okay lah emily in paris <mandarin>有时候听到:you shi hou ting dao</mandarin> lah a lot of people watching nowadays is


I don't know got some people say , too try hard or like too cliche, I don't know, I also haven't watch lah maybe next time <mandarin>改次有得空了话我去看:gai ci you de kong le hua wo qu kan</mandarin> lor but, eh


oh <mandarin>你讲这样多名字你讲这样多名字我全部都不认识我只知道:ni jiang zhe yang duo ming zi ni jiang zhe yang duo ming zi wo quan bu dou bu ren shi wo zhi zhi dao</mandarin> bosco Wong only


really meh


leslie Cheung ah, he acts also


nope


(hmm), I don't, for someone who say you got no time you watch a lot of show uh, , I nah I don't like I don't like watching a long series okay lah maybe save for some lah if I really hooked on then watch


like, ya lah if I like if I like the show, if I like the show then maybe I watch the series but <mandarin>通常:tong chang</mandarin> is like I won't watch a drama one like, from first from first glance or like maybe like the first episode I won't watch the whole drama unless I really like it


I like to watch like


, horror horror <mandarin>我很喜欢:wo hen xi huan</mandarin> horror, horror okay maybe <mandarin>你不喜欢:ni bu xi huan</mandarin> lah gore,


action thriller, suspense, mystery ah mystery, ya


okay what marvel is okay lah marvel is for little kids lah


what iron man ah, ya lah marvel is for little kids lah


ya lah as in the you don't even read the comics though the in the comics is so much more darker the movies really like I said is really for little kids, it's true it's true like that's why I prefer DC more cause DC is more is darker is more grim is like not not everything is like a you know everything at the end of the day will be oars like safe and sound is just or sunshines and rainbow it's stupid lah ya it is


come on okay maybe dead maybe dead pool was uh maybe dead pool is like an exception but come on you look all the look at all the like the what ah antman antman is so, , so so non-violent it's not even like an action movie it's like so


it's so kid friendly


ya lah so everything is like, all the all the movies are PG thirteen what that's why fit you so much cause you're a little kid, it's true, you look at the what what what's that err


captain marvel is it the the woman one it's so bad eh, it's so censored


wonder woman, okay lah not bad the soundtrack is not bad the story eh I think can be improved a lot more, but it's definitely lah, it's definitely better than batman ah


oh he died,


cause they already built up a very strong base mah, that's why now, that's why now DC is also trying to build something it's like DC like now they are trying to up their movie game that's why <mandarin>你看最近:ni kan zui jin</mandarin> they got the justice league lah got suicide squad so they are bringing in more people sort of like the marvel uh MCU lah so


next time there's gonna be the justice league then you gonna see like the same actors around already lor it's just that, it's just that the the movie writing is uh it does not translate lah there's too much content from from the original comics so like the justice league you got <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> or not the justice league


yes, it's a , okay lah <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> after <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> batman V superman lor the martha hose thingy


uh, suicide squad was just horrible, it, it was nothing based on the original suicide squad is really then you know recently <mandarin>也是有那个:ye shi you na ge</mandarin> movie the what ah birds of prey ah


ah, ya so like there's birds of prey <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> suicide squad then after that I think they gonna make another suicide squad movie lah it's all of them are so not


it's so not, true to the comics it's just like oh, it it really looks like a cash grab lah or like the movie writing is just bad lah I don't know I, I don't understand how they can come up with such a movie, but


harley quinn


okay lah


!wah! <mandarin>你真的有毛病:ni zhen de you mao bing</mandarin> sia, of all things to dress up you want to dress up like a Mahjong tile


that okay, that sounds like quite low effort, !aiyo!


nowadays singapore where got celebrate halloween one, you want to change


nah, it's I don't know like singapore <mandarin>我们这里:wo men zhe li</mandarin> also no it's not even like a normal festival to celebrate it's just halloween oh western culture bring over to singapore that's where got people dress up like you can't even do trick or treat


it's like you just it's like you dress up then in the end you also go to club that's the only place you can dress up at, you get what I mean


just a party with like as in it's not even if is like a like a whole country celebrate thing maybe maybe lah as in cause it's fun what then you like <mandarin>你穿到这样:ni chuan dao zhe yang</mandarin> then <mandarin>每个人也是穿这样:mei ge ren ye shi chuan zhe yang</mandarin> then okay mah then if you like book party if you book a hotel room then go party with like ten of your other friends who's wearing like different outfit then only ten of you all wearing halloween outfit I feel it's like a bit lame eh


it's just like ten people then after that !aiya! then the guys also anyhow wear one


ya if you going to party like if you invite me <mandarin>好像你叫我去:hao xiang ni jiao wo qu</mandarin> party maybe I will dress up lah but what what parties are there in singapore other than just club and like your friend's party, like there's <mandarin>没有人:mei you ren</mandarin> like <mandarin>会穿到这样:hui chuan dao zhe yang</mandarin> like go out normally one mah


like in other countries maybe you <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> USA then during halloween like even though they don't go trick or treat they can just wear the halloween costume cause people are going to go to their house and you know ask for candies also, then singapore you wear


ya lah as in since <mandarin>新加坡:xin jia po</mandarin> also like, you also not much place to have fun with I mean you dress up with your friends then can go where at the end, go club


then if your if your overseas friend come to singapore where would you bring them to


, I think singapore on the contrary <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> limited eh, it's like just a typical tourist places that you can bring like okay you can bring MBS lah esplanade lah then bring them then bring them at night go club for like the nightlife then other than that


in the day what can you do so like okay bring them go eat food lor what what else can you do, in singapore, but, those very, tourists kind of attraction lah like there's no there's no real attraction in singapore I feel


like for example like let's say if you go to like country like if you go to other countries like uh let's say uh okay let's say that uh thailand okay like thailand <mandarin>你去那边:ni qu na bian</mandarin> is not about just uh err <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> club lah <mandarin>买衣服这样:mai yi fu zhe yang</mandarin> like at least maybe like when you bored you can still go and explore places


like you can explore, like you just explore all the off track that nobody will bring you there one like it's not mentioned in the sites like for example if you go google like uh singapore uh place to visit then confirm all the the zoo lah the aquarium lah the MBS esplanade all pop out because that's the only few places that singapore has to offer what


then they gonna say what go chinatown go little india, like the very typical tourist place


ya like the what , botanic gardens gardens by the bay , what else ah Mustafa maybe if you if they actually like exploring local culture but I feel it's really not much to do for tourists especially if they only come here for like


two or three days, not much for them to do eh, okay lah


nah my friend come over ah I will just bring them go eat food only during the day cause nothing much to do during the day, maybe night still got like some nightlife, in the day where will you bring them if if they come to singapore for a week


ya lah, one


no <mandarin>我是:wo shi</mandarin> complain <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> as in <mandarin>我真的觉得:wo zhen de jue de</mandarin> like in singapore, like one week what can you do during the day like


you gonna bring them go Kopitiam eat ah I mean it's also like a local culture lah I don't I don't like deny that but, USS for like one whole day then still got a few more days left mah cause it's like <mandarin>好像你去:hao xiang ni qu</mandarin> botanics garden


listen so like you when you go botanics garden then you also will go like nearby area what maybe like you won't spend the whole day at botanics garden like maybe you spend like three four hours then maybe you pass by then you go by the like along the road maybe you will end up at uh town and maybe go marina bay then the esplanade or something like that and that's already one day


I don't know <mandarin>吃吃东西:chi chi dong xi</mandarin> then in the end


afterwards is like <mandarin>就算这样多地方:jiu suan zhe yang duo di fang</mandarin> ah <mandarin>一个礼拜:yi ge li bai</mandarin> also cover everything already there's not much else to do what


ya lah as in I'm just saying like, since like singapore itself I don't think really have a lot of attractions, it's just like you spend a lot of time at one place, to make up for like maybe one week if your friends coming over but, like if I want to bring them go see like attraction is like only <mandarin>只有几个几样而已:zhi you ji ge ji yang er yi</mandarin> lor like if you ask any people like where they're gonna bring their overseas friend it's always the typical marina bay lah esplanade lah chinatown the temples is


maybe just me lah but, no I think is I think is a okay maybe different from you but <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> like since like singapore itself is so damn different like let's say in malaysia like there's so many things like there's fun fares there's like night markets there's like street food


then, singapore is so, I don't know for lack of better word is like <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> consistent lor everything is like nice like we have gardens we have Sentosa then it's like, most of it like very nice attractions but it's


I don't know it just feels very made for tourist instead of singaporeans but then even if the tourists come there's only like these few things that they can like boast about in singapore, like


, don't know leh <mandarin>我带朋友来新加坡:wo dai peng you lai xin jia po</mandarin> all of them say very boring


, I have not travelled the world enough to make a just statement lah, but


, !aiya! <mandarin>不知道:bu zhi dao</mandarin> leh maybe <mandarin>我没有这样有钱:wo mei you zhe yang you qian</mandarin> lah hor maybe it's a, it's only a place for the rich to enjoy lah hor, everything also in the end also a lot of money mah like I think singapore is very strongly based in like <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> like arts lah design then if you don't really appreciate arts and design then singapore it's really just like


then, not much not much for not much for other tourists to do also, like if you don't appreciate art and design like if you don't appreciate art and design you go temple they also like !huh! okay lor cool it's just like mix culture then go museum also like [orh] it's just a normal museum


then you go esplanade everything look pretty then it's like, okay cool it looks pretty take a photo then go already


but I don't know about you


!aiya!


what do you mean by <mandarin>耳朵听不到:er duo ting bu dao</mandarin> what what kind of, what kind of description is that so you


what the heck, so it's just like Taipei <mandarin>幺零幺:yao ling yao</mandarin> lah


ya, I can't wait to go back <mandarin>马来西亚:ma lai xi ya</mandarin> sia <mandarin>我要吃:wo yao chi</mandarin> #lok lok# ah <mandarin>我要吃东西:wo yao chi dong xi</mandarin> sia !aiya!, singapore so expensive there's no night food man what !wah!, if ya lah


ya and like that time I also remember with you your parents also


and your and your and the, uncle james they all, yes, ya then it's like <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> like <mandarin>你肚子饿晚上啊:ni du zi e wan shang a</mandarin> at night just go down eat #lok lok# also can eh !wah! then singapore now you want go down eat eat the twenty four hour fishball noodle also


ya <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> can't wait to eat <mandarin>海鲜:hai xian</mandarin> sia !wah! <mandarin>很很久没有吃海鲜:hen hen jiu mei you chi hai xian</mandarin> I really miss


what ask lah, no lah where got, first place maybe


depends lah it depends when the measures are released lor maybe if like , maybe I'll go Bangkok first


ya lah that's why <mandarin>我讲看几时先:wo jiang kan ji shi xian</mandarin> lor if like everything is okay the air measures are done then after that not much COVID cases I will go for Bangkok first what, that's


when I go I don't travel much but even if I travel I don't mind going alone like <mandarin>我自己一个人去:wo zi ji yi ge ren qu</mandarin> okay lah <mandarin>有人陪我去也是无所谓:you ren pei wo qu ye shi wu suo wei</mandarin> lah but of course I will want people to you know like I want friends to go along lah, but


Bangkok !wah! actually that's why like this is one thing why I want to go solo sometimes cause a lot of things I want to go do there right I don't think is suitable to like most of the normal paced


what is ping-pong show, what is ping-pong show


oh okay


yes err that is why I don't want to go with friends I rather I rather travel and like hike and explore like temples which is a very, unconventional thing to do


!hanna! <mandarin>但是你讲的是日本:dan shi ni jiang de shi ri ben</mandarin> what


no, I think I know but I don't know I don't know the name


nope, sushi shrine [ah] okay


(mmhmm), well yesterday ah why not today


actually today and yesterday I did about the same things leh I feel, yes to okay as in like not much ah actually as in like cause like friday <mandarin>有一个:you yi ge</mandarin> project then like these past few days just a lot of project meetings lor I guess


ya then after that I will sleep and then ya so not much lah actually, I oh ya oh my god ya I did eh I mean I feel like okay as in like now I quite addicted to the office so I'm watching that on netflix then


I mean like , like <mandarin>很容易:hen rong yi</mandarin> pass time lor like, like, how to say ah like you just keep I mean like one episode passes very fast and then


ya lah as in I always find myself like watching next episode next episode then ya just, should be doing other things lah like work but (hmm) (hmm)


two but ending already I think episode, now ah oh I can't remember eh let me think I'm oh oh oh okay I remember the most recent month is kevin <mandarin>你知道那个肥的:ni zhi dao na ge fei de</mandarin>


ya ya like I think he was suspected of having skin cancer then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> manager michael just nice <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> birthday <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> the same day then like like <mandarin>没有人:mei you ren</mandarin> got mood to celebrate for michael's birthday because like everyone was worrying about you know kevin skin cancer results ya then then he brought the ice skating and shit ya was quite funny lah


(mmhmm), ya ya, ya ya ya ya no but then I saw on netflix that currently <mandarin>你在看:ni zai kan</mandarin> suits eh what is it about I heard like a lot of my friends say that that suits quite nice right


I haven't watch, !huh!, I like lawyer what


sounds a bit like gossip girl eh remember I think that time circuit breaker <mandarin>我在看:wo zai kan</mandarin> gossip girl then a lot of this kind of drama <mandarin>也是:ye shi</mandarin> like, like how to say like you know these rich kids then like talk behind each other's back then the next day this person and this person gossip about this person then this person and this person got like affair that kind of thing damn dramatic


!huh!


!huh!, that doesn't make sense, okay


that sounds very complicated but anyway oh my god I just realized that I also never watch gossip girl for damn long like since, since the whole like circuit breaker thing then I stopped remember that time I keep watching


ya that's why I I stop there for damn long because after that I watch friends and then I watch the office oh my god but friends uh I finished friends already !walao! the last episode I cry eh cause like I would I watched them for so many episodes then like suddenly no more then so sad then like ya lor cry lor then damn drama but anyway oh but I saw on <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> instagram like all of them like post on instagram that like they gonna have like a comeback what do you call that like


like gonna come back for another season or something but I don't know how how that's how that's gonna work lah because <mandarin>他们都那么老了:ta men dou na me lao le</mandarin> like, ya ya ya like oh my god if you go see their pictures like their current pictures like like courteney cox and like lisa kudrow they damn old already like can tell like <mandarin>没有用:mei you yong</mandarin> skincare lah <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> wrinkles <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> ya


!huh! office <mandarin>也有:ye you</mandarin> meh


oh ya ya <mandarin>黑人:hei ren</mandarin> my god


oh the ending you mean


oh my god okay, oh wait as in a show about themselves so they have like a separate show or like they make the like one of the episodes in the show all about themselves


, the beat farm ah


, but ya but actually a lot of them do that like you don't remember that time we were watching modern family then I think it also ended already then after that like


they came up with, like another season season eleven I think ya so that one you can't find it on the singapore netflix lah but <mandarin>你用那个:ni yong na ge</mandarin> VPN then after that <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> like access it through if I'm not wrong canada ya so so so that one I haven't watch lah I only watch until season ten cause singapore netflix only has until season ten so


ya then you know you were saying like how like like this this like usually these kind of shows right then sometimes like one character wants to have a a separate show all by themselves right ya so for friends <mandarin>他们也有:ta men ye you</mandarin> like okay because how friends ended ya friends because <mandarin>我跟你讲:wo gen ni jiang</mandarin> like <mandarin>我看完:wo kan wan</mandarin> friends <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> then like basically <mandarin>每个人都有一个:mei ge ren dou you yi ge</mandarin> partner ya cause you know friends <mandarin>有六个朋友:you liu ge peng you</mandarin> so there's like monica rachel ross


eh monica eh monica rachel ross chandler joey and phoebe ya so six of them ya so like , basically monica and chandler got together then ross and rachel got together then phoebe got married to like another guy called mike so joey is left all alone so I think they plan to like have a separate series just all about joey and like joey himself lah cause this guy damn funny he really damn stupid then like he does a lot of stupid shit lah so they wanted to have one of like one one separate show all about joey but I haven't watched it lah so I don't know but ya I saw it on instagram that like friends say they gonna have like a comeback or something so I don't know how it's gonna be like cause like so many things happened already like friends was literally damn old like I think office not as old but friends like was like nineteen ninety something ya so like was super long ago lah it was like when jennifer aniston all they still like twenty years old thirty years old then now they like fifty years old


ya so I don't know how it's gonna work ya, !huh! is it


oh okay ya ya okay, no because basically like the sequence was like this I watched friends no I watched modern family first then I watch friends so modern family is quite I mean is newer lah so they didn't have all the you know the the laughter in the background so when I started on friends then like I wasn't used to it cause like every few seconds they will have the the laugh track you know then was very distracting but then like


so I think friends I watched the first two episodes then I stop watching cause like really not used to it lah like after ending modern family then I move to friends right then ya lah really not used to it but then like <mandarin>很多朋友跟我说:hen duo peng you gen wo shuo</mandarin> like friends very nice so like !aiya! I just continue watching then like somehow I got hooked lor like


like keep watching keep watching then eh actually not so bad then quite nice to watch then, happen to finish the whole series ya so mean if you wanna give it another try you should I think friends is like a classic ah like a lot of people of friends and like


you know like they have merch and everything ya


I think it was is more of like the old style like a lot of these like older series they always have the the laugh track lah ya then friends is like I mean out of the three like out of friends the office and modern family I think friends is the oldest so ya they still use like the that style I guess


(mmhmm), ya oh no no no the first episode I mean the first few episodes not so good ya I think the later part they got better cause the start like the pilot episode all I also didn't enjoy so ya I told you I watch like maybe <mandarin>三个:san ge</mandarin> episode then <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> stop <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> but then after that I went back to it I watch watch watch then the later ones were much better lah cause oh my god it also helps that like the like at first when you know friends just started the the characters like


like rachel and all they damn ugly like what the hell like the hair cannot make it really cause it's like those nineteen nineties kind of hair you know so they were like damn ugly like rachel monica all damn ugly then after that like as the show progresses like to the later seasons maybe like I don't know season four season five that kind then like they they became like much better looking lah like even ross like ross is known as like the nerdy one but then like he also became quite good looking then I mean joey is always good looking lah then you know like monica and rachel phoebe they all also become damn pretty also I think that was also one of the reasons why like jennifer aniston became so popular also ya


oh ya ya ya ya ya ya ya I saw but I think that one didn't like gain as much traction eh like like is one of those shows that they try to be the next big thing but then you know not a lot of shows can make it lah I feel


ya like there's a lot leh I think netflix I saw a lot what dynasty is it a lot lah ya,


, I mean at first I also thought so then after that when I continue watching like you don't even notice the canned laughter anymore you know what I mean I think everything is like a matter of getting used to lah but ya and then now there's a new one also everyone's talking about it I think I saw


it's called emily in paris ya ya have you heard ya ya a lot of my friends on instagram like watching it now lah then you know I mean it seems kind of like bimbotic which is you know my kind of thing but then but then I don't know leh like no time lah as in now now like you know quite busy shouldn't be indulging but ya lah but I mean office is like quite easy to watch so just watch lah like you know when I <mandarin>吃饭的时候:chi fan de shi hou</mandarin> or like


or relax time then I watch a few episodes


, but actually like apart from all these like what do you call that like english series like I actually like to watch a lot of hong-kong drama I don't know if you watch cause not a lot of people watch but I mean I know it's like a childhood thing <mandarin>来从小:lai cong xiao</mandarin> will like <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> family or my parents <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> watch already so like how to say ah like ya lor since I primary school I've watched like almost every single show I think out of all the series ever made I probably watch like ninety percent of them not even kidding like


ya then I I watched when since like you know I I don't know if you even remember but it's like I watched since like it was like linda Chung then like <mandarin>杨怡:yang yi</mandarin> like #ling feng# then bosco and then like kate Sui and like like kenneth Ma


, no no no because it was a thing like back then right like these were the famous ones like you know raymond Lam then linda Chung all that but then slowly they also like get married then they you know have children then they work in china that kind then I think if you now I mean if you watch those dramas now right you will see that like all the all the actors and actresses now <mandarin>全部不同:quan bu bu tong</mandarin> already lah all these people like <mandarin>没有了:mei you le</mandarin> but I mean they were like a big part of my childhood ya ya ya ya ya really like like no more kate Sui no more linda Chung no more everything eh trust me I'm the expert on this man


oh my god that one is not no I talking about like maybe like, no come on leslie Cheung is like a singer but anyway as in that one is like <mandarin>刘德华:liu de hua</mandarin> that kind is like is like my parents <mandarin>的时代:de shi dai</mandarin> no but I'm talking about like when we primary school that time which is like two thousand and eight


that kind ya two thousand seven two thousand and eight that kind of time lah then it was like these people were famous then they were like the <mandarin>花:hua</mandarin> they like to call it like <mandarin>花旦:hua dan</mandarin> like <mandarin>罚单:fa dan</mandarin> you know


ya so it's like the leading actresses lah but ya let me think what am I watching now ah oh I'm


you know all the like the gay jokes and stuff damn funny ya that one I quite like that, hello,


rubbish lor that time you like the bosco show so much, what was it called ah the defected


, , but <mandarin>你喜欢:ni xi huan</mandarin> like what kind of movies


(mmhmm), !ee! no no no no no no no no, (ppc)


(mmhmm), no I like comedy I like romance I like , I like action also oh my god no no no now we go no fight already because no I was gonna say like I like like avengers that kind I love the marvel cinematic universe but then you are a DC bridge so


no oh my god no the movies are so good oh my god don't remind me like I still remember the the month before my A levels then I just like !wah! I think over stress or something then I just like !aiya! don't want do my don't want to my !wah! I just want to be a superhero ya then then I just spend the whole month like watching all the way you you know which is the first movie in the in the MCU


ya correct so I started watching since like iron man all the way ya all the way until the latest one lah which is like damn a lot of movies ya but I freaking love their wars the best man, I think


eh shut up no but I'm serious like I really think the the as in these MCU thing quite amazing lah like the story writing everything the characters and like the the enemy like how they how they made the movie like all the effects special effects and stuff I think I mean they really put in a lot of effort a lot of budget in it lah that's why it's such a huge success you know


, okay whatever


rubbish, no it's not


what the hell as in action can be ya as in what's wrong with having good endings I think it's perfectly fine and I don't know like as in why do you why must things happen I mean why must things end badly why must someone always die or like you know I think I think okay lah I mean it's good lah okay I mean okay sure maybe like you prefer the darker kind but I think like the MCU very good as like family movies that kind you know like parents watch with


ya I mean I watch it with my parents and I'm not very young I'm like twenty two ya but I mean we enjoy it lah I guess


funny , let me think, oh okay okay okay


oh my god okay but okay I've something like what do you call that controversial to say you know <mandarin>很多人都:hen duo ren dou</mandarin> like, they love wonder woman I wasn't a fan though , ya


, wonder woman ya, as in I think is okay ya ya ya I think is one of the better DC movies lah like not so bad but I don't know like wonder woman as in


it was not bad but it wouldn't I mean it's not something that like I would keep watching you know what I mean like watch again and again ya but I feel like the marvel ones lah I can rewatch again and again oh my god I wanted to say like I the most recent marvel movie I watch was black panther cause it was on I think it was on HBO that day and I subscribe to HBO lah !wah! but !wah! !haiya! don't talk about it makes me sad I love black panther leh like


like it's really really damn cool like !aiyo! I don't know the whole ya ya dude oh my god what the hell like the whole Wakanda thing loved it, so sad I don't know as in now I don't know how to continue like cause they are not gonna stop here what they will keep making you know continue making movies then


ah then the person who replace him it won't be the same you know I think one thing about like the the marvel the cinematic universe right is that they always reuse the same actors then you feel like a connection to them cause like you know when you think of tony stark you always think of robert downey junior that kind of thing and you know like some


some movies they always change the actors like I don't know like for batman there's a lot of remixed right then <mandarin>他们一直换那个:ta men yi zhi huan na ge</mandarin> actor so sometimes <mandarin>是这个:shi zhe ge</mandarin> sometimes <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> and I think last time like spiderman <mandarin>也是他们一直换那个:ye shi ta men yi zhi huan na ge</mandarin> actors then, I mean that you don't really feel it lah but then like you know I think one thing about the MCU is that like is always this bunch and then somehow they I mean like it's like a bunch of friends already you know what I mean like like


like, you know what do you call that like captain america and then like black widow iron man they're like a team so like you already feel that connection to them that's why I like ah I feel ya


ya ya,


, I think I got leh but I only watch it once and I if I'm not wrong it's quite long ago so like


ya ya ya I did watch but I don't like if you ask me the story now I can't remember already cause so long already


, I didn't enjoy suicide squad though, oh shit


okay but like okay now speaking when you ask me about suicide squad right like one thing I can think about like is you know during halloween it's damn cringey all the little like <mandarin>小妹妹:xiao mei mei</mandarin> and stuff they always like to dress up as harley quinn oh my god it's damn cringey I cannot take it goodness it's damn disgusting it's like every girl like that time lah that time when suicide squad just came out then every girl was you know doing the ponytail thing then wearing the jacket like the what daddy's little monster or something daddy's little girl or something lah then like the hair like one side red one side blue ya it was like super cringey lah like I don't know like !haiyo! all these girls


ya cause you know halloween just just , pass right oh my god and I have to tell you like that day I saw on instagram like my friend posted they had this party and then it was so cute dude oh my god you know <mandarin>他们全部:ta men quan bu</mandarin> dressed as Mahjong tiles and I freaking love Mahjong lah so like what the hell like


(ugh) damn jealous really like (ugh) oh my god if if this time wasn't so busy I would totally do it lah really my dream I one day before I die must dress up as a Mahjong tile for halloween ya


uh, it's so cute oh my god I have to send you <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> picture what the hell it's damn cute lor like they they dress as like some more it's not like the lame one eh not like the everyone wear one Mahjong t-shirt you know those shopee <mandarin>你看过:ni kan guo</mandarin> like those white t-shirt then <mandarin>有一个:you yi ge</mandarin> Mahjong tile in front not that kind it's like they literally dress up as like a box like a tile and then there's like a huge <mandarin>中:zhong</mandarin> so you just imagine like three giant Zhongs just walking what the hell damn cute I cannot take it


, no it's not you are damn wrong my goodness I need to send you <mandarin>那个照片:na ge zhao pian</mandarin> later what the hell it's so cute really super damn cute


oh you are wrong okay I think okay that's something I want to change ya I think like I mean depends lah like a lot of those no as in a lot of those hipsters on instagram they actually celebrate halloween it's just like I mean like it's a common idea that most people don't celebrate halloween I think maybe like the older folks lah like our parents but like if the younger folks if you see on instagram there's a lot of those like a lot of the


millennials like people our age they love instagram man like you know like zouk halloween that kind I mean now <mandarin>不可以:bu ke yi</mandarin> lah cause of COVID but like when <mandarin>有的时候:you de shi hou</mandarin> !wah! zouk halloween man the place to be everyone sees everyone really like I go on instagram everyone dress up for halloween so I think ya lah I mean among our generation I would say


okay boomer , no not really you're oh my god you are so boring I can't communicate with you as in okay as in like you can go to each other's houses or like you book like a hotel and then like you all have dress up parties I think quite cute what as in


you don't know how to have fun man , no oh my god you are wrong see you you you've been hanging out of the wrong friends no it's like it depends one let's say okay I think some I mean some people are like that but you'll be surprised man like a lot of people I see my friends on instagram they all really like christmas party then the guys also wear like jumper like you know those like christmas jumper like those sweater like pullover style lah then got like reindeer that kind quite cute what as in like


I think lame leh if you don't want to dress up like a lot of people think it's lame to dress up but I think it's lame if you don't dress up like those people halloween then like they wear like t-shirt and jeans what the hell like, no


, as in I think, if you do it yourself it's quite lame lah but if you do with a bunch of friends I think okay I mean this kind of things is like as long as you know how to have fun if you think it's fun then I mean


why not, no, no I don't think so I think there's a lot of ways to have fun as in like a lot of people said singapore very boring but I don't agree eh I mean I feel like it's just how you make the most out of it you know what I mean like singapore can do a lot of things also what too bad you not fun enough to think of it lor like you know like


I oh my god okay one thing I have to tell you I'm like super like <mandarin>爱国:ai guo</mandarin> that kind of people one okay ya so like I freaking know all the NDP songs I sing them with pride that kind then I wave the flag happily that kind of people ya so I don't know like oh my god okay I think my favorite place in singapore will be like marina bay I think it's like super beautiful every time I walk you know like the


like outside MBS there you know the what do you call that ah the riverside ah waterfront ah ya anyway ya so like I always feel like this immense sense of pride then I always feel damn happy then like I feel like I'm super lucky to be living here ya so I mean I'm quite proud of singapore and like all our attractions and stuff if my overseas friend come I'll definitely bring her to all the attractions lah like gardens by the bay MBS what do you call that like Sentosa ya err what did I want to say ah I think one thing like probably bring her to all the cool food places ya food is a big part of life


a lot of things what the hell there's like sea aquarium a lot of things


!huh!, what kind are you looking for man


like where


not true, not really, as in if you want to talk about those like abandoned places that no one been before I mean confirm have one what like like I'm like if you see those like mothership articles always got like this abandoned villa something if you are into that by all means you can go I mean


I think I mean maybe not as many as the other countries lah because obviously we are smaller so talk about attractions they will have more if you talk about abandoned areas they will have more also lah but I mean if you want to say that they don't have at all I think that's quite like incorrect


I feel like have, a lot of things to do, ya, I mean I mean it's always like that what like if you here then of course we think here is boring you know what I mean but it's like then I mean the grass is always greener on the other side so it's like cause you live here for like twenty two years so like here is boring but like


I mean, you know like like now if you think like oh japan then it's like oh you never been there before so of course everything will be new to you what so those people you know like they never been to singapore before then you tell them got all these things then they also be (oo) is it like all new to them you know I mean


ya, !aiya! you boring lah you don't know how to have fun lah


in the day, err I think a lot of things can do what like you go zoo all that you want to go at night when it's closed meh like


you know I mean what's wrong with that or you go aquarium can go in the day also what or like you know I mean MBS this kind also don't have timing one what I mean maybe like as in gardens by the bay also can go in the day what but I mean just depends like maybe some prefer to go at night to see the lights that kind or like singapore flyer ya can go in the day also what oh cause that time I had this


what do you call that ah like like I was working for this summer camp so basically like a lot of like rich kids from vietnam they come here to visit then we also bring them to like all these places and it's all during the day lah cause like they are kids what so usually they will go back to the hotel at about maybe eight PM ya quite early cause you know like don't want the kids to go out so late they are like primary school kids lah so most of the places we also go in the day we also bring them to all these like you know the flyer singapore flyer bring them to gardens by the bay that kind of places zoo ya so


think just matters how you make use of the areas lah I mean a lot of singaporeans like to complain complain complain <mandarin>什么都:shen me dou</mandarin> complain but like if <mandarin>你要是可以的:ni yao shi ke yi de</mandarin> lah I mean just depends how you make the most out of it lah I feel


a lot lah what the hell


not really what as in like can go USS everything


ya everyday go one place lah


I think it depends on how you plan it like, !huh! I don't know what you talking about as in like it's like, ya lah as in these kind of things like wherever you want to go you just plan your itinerary accordingly lah that's how it works for every kind of travel what like


you know like you know maybe today want go botanic gardens then you decide to take the whole day cause you want to picnic that kind of thing I mean people do that in japan also what so I really think it's just up to you to to like plan whatever you want as in then what do you expect like


you complain complain then what you want


ya lah but I mean travelling is like that what like if <mandarin>你要去:ni yao qu</mandarin> like <mandarin>比较大的地方:bi jiao da de di fang</mandarin> let's say europe then of course you will go longer maybe two weeks that kind cause you wanna go you know these you probably will cover different countries or maybe italy or like


you know like spain that kind of thing a lot of countries so maybe if I say tomorrow I going europe then you won't expect me to go for like two three days what cause how to cover europe in two three days but then if I say I going JB then you will think that I going for two weeks meh if I go JB what is there to do of course probably maybe <mandarin>三四天:san si tian</mandarin> can cover everything already ya lah so I think it's a matter of how you plan only what


like people come singapore they also won't like expect to have to come one month then expect to have all the attractions you know what I mean ya I know it just depends on the person itself lah


but okay I think


I mean ya but I guess different kind like we are appealing different kind of people like if you you can't compare singapore and malaysia what obviously like one is like, I wouldn't say higher class but like higher end you know what I mean like for example you want like rich people coming over like the rich tourists of dubai maybe then they come here they you know shop at MBS all the luxury goods or they go like Sentosa they stay in those like five star hotels very different from those like


night market in like JB that will maybe give you stomachache that kind of thing diarrhoea food poisoning mean I mean like the the whole target audience is different lah I guess so depends on what you are looking for so maybe like you know if you are looking for a place with like a lot of history a lot of architecture maybe you would like to go europe that kind but if you are looking for maybe like cheap massage that kind then maybe you go Bangkok so like


I mean different lah I mean I you you can't expect one place to like , what do you call that like attract every type of person you know what I mean so probably for singapore we are uh you know appealing to those you know higher class richer people that kind of thing ya other countries they also appeal to different people what like for example you know like


maybe I don't know how to say lah but like oh like if you going to the beach you will go to Bali that kind of thing so, I mean it's just I you just go where you like lah basically like different people have different interests so, you know


(mmhmm) I mean maybe lah but, I wouldn't like if you asked me if I have a choice to live anywhere else I was still choose here


ya, no lah sounds very cheesy ah but then I mean I feel like I love everywhere else I've been I've been to


, what the hell rubbish


I, not really I love my <mandarin>国家:guo jia</mandarin> no lah but I really feel like different I mean like everyone will have different feelings towards a place like for example a lot of people love


wait wait I forgot my example let me think like I think, , oh ya like I really really enjoyed Shanghai cause I think my most recent trip was to Shanghai then I really had a lot of fun there lah like hor oh my god I tried #hai di lao# like in china and it's very different is like what the hell the service is crazy and oh my god it's crazy lah anyway so like
