okay lah then <mandarin>你讲:ni jiang</mandarin> lor but then but then err ya lah for my on my side ah actually I don't really have much else to say lah, because right I mean like most of my my trips ah not as exciting as <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> lor so, ya <mandarin>我是觉得你你有很多话讲:wo shi jue de ni ni you hen duo hua jiang</mandarin> but then I I really don't have much to say so like like a bit err <mandarin>有有一点:you you yi dian</mandarin> imbalance lah


!huh! really ah oh okay lor then <mandarin>我们继续:wo men ji xu</mandarin> lah then then I'm fine I I <mandarin>我是无所谓的:wo shi wu suo wei de</mandarin> it's okay

eh your, I don't think that's right lor but !aiya! anyway done already lah but next time don't do lah


ya lah but then <mandarin>你是很:ni shi hen</mandarin> risky <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> you have to be a bit more careful lah I feel, ya


no lah I mean, I'm cautious but it's not like restrictive you know what I mean, I just don't !aiya!, I just not reckless lah I just not reckless


I never lah I got meh, I never restrict you what where got, what do you want to eat


but you must be careful lah, what no I just feel that you very you like like tend towards like being a bit reckless <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> lah then like ya


no lah where got, ya lah but your side tend to be a bit extreme lor it's my feeling ah


no but, but for a girl thing solo trip Jordan ah and then don't tell parents ah I think it's like quite quite daring ah ya


[orh], well


ya lah but you need to be a bit more careful sometimes lah I feel, do you think do you, do you feel you are careful, okay ya lah at


ya but that could be luck what maybe <mandarin>不是你:bu shi ni</mandarin> careful


no I don't think that but then I mean, experience must be tempered with caution lah I'm not saying that don't don't like <mandarin>你要很:ni yao hen</mandarin> careful <mandarin>到不可以:dao bu ke yi</mandarin> experience <mandarin>我是说:wo shi shuo</mandarin> like, like, err


all this risk must manage with caution lor that's uh it's it's it's a very simple concept lah, ya lah then <mandarin>我们还是:wo men hai shi</mandarin> okay lah


okay lor maybe ah <mandarin>改天讲:gai tian jiang</mandarin> lor, okay okay okay


hello


hello hello, hello eh your recording okay or not, ya but but but okay listen err <mandarin>好像是我的:hao xiang shi wo de</mandarin> internet drop lah so I think we just we just continue lor, ya how about that


is it okay, your your your thing still continuing right


ya lah then never mind lah just try lor, no, ya I know but there's like there's like two minute or two minutes err silence or not not much said lah so I think still can


did you just did you just go on a rant like once you once you realize the audio stop, did you just stop or what, dude once you realize the Zoom stop did you just talk or what


ya lah so you so so so there was like a bit a period of silence lah right, I know then like that okay lor I never talk to myself so it's okay lah


!aiya! then <mandarin>没关系:mei guan xi</mandarin> I think it's okay, ya ya ya


I never say I never say anything


ya I didn't press stop don't worry, ya you also never press stop right


okay lah then okay lah, then we then we talk another five minutes lah what's wrong, what


[orh] no lah I think it's okay let's just talk because, it's fine, ya I mean we will just say that there that that, that, you very risky and then I'm quite cautious but I think that's a good balance lah I don't really think see it as a big issue


ya then then you also want to experience the danger also lah, ya kind of indirectly lah, ya lah but I also wish you can be your approach can be tempered with some cautiousness lah it's just a compromise what not saying like oh I I mean like


it has to be one hundred percent your way or like that lor ya, !huh! <mandarin>不用这样讲:bu yong zhe yang jiang</mandarin> lah it's actually okay lah


ya lah I mean I agree but then it it it doesn't mean that you should go to extremes lah


okay leh, I feel like you quite YOLO eh ya


, okay lor fine, no you got any crazy girlfriend or not then <mandarin>你和可以跟他去玩:ni he ke yi gen ta qu wan</mandarin> what


never what it's okay


no don't have don't have all off relax, eh but we talk about this all these kind of content <mandarin>是可以的:shi ke yi de</mandarin> meh


[orh] okay lah then no issue, no lah <mandarin>不会的:bu hui de</mandarin> lah because like did <mandarin>他们也是要:ta men ye shi yao</mandarin> be understanding right because


just, there's just, I mean some of these things are subject to a bit of interruption lah then this one like really no choice and then plus it's not like we can restart the thing cause <mandarin>我们已经:wo men yi jing</mandarin> like <mandarin>讲了:jiang le</mandarin> like <mandarin>四十分钟的话:si shi fen zhong de hua</mandarin> what


ya so so so, so how about we just do err one hour five minute I think that's fine leh, ya ya ya


okay lah I mean I mean we can go and talk about other things what doesn't have to be, [orh] okay, actually okay cause like


as you know right they they only let you they only let like five fifty people in at one time [orh], but today err I think, raining so everybody <mandarin>是睡觉:shi shui jiao</mandarin> then, the the whole day ah actually got a lot of slot


I check right that they they, they have like seven eight slots every hour so actually the capacity today is quite good, so


err ya lah in the morning and afternoon everything I runny nose so <mandarin>我是觉得:wo shi jue de</mandarin> !aiya! forget it lah don't go today but then, at seven eight I say !aiya! never mind I just go because I was feeling better so I went lor at eight eight eight o'clock, ya then turns out there only got like around seven people


so it's pretty okay lah, ya then usually I go for like, one hour to one hour fifteen minutes but the one hour fifteen minutes it's because sometime I need to queue for the machine lor, but then today like nobody use mah so


and then like very few people like just now I say so, I can actually finish quite fast so, ya, but then still very unfit lah cause that time when I working then no time to go mah so I'm trying to make up for it now lah but then <mandarin>我是觉得一步一步会:wo shi jue de yi bu yi bu hui</mandarin> err err err


ya eh you look very tired leh what time do you think you will go to sleep, okay lah <mandarin>忍忍忍多一下:ren ren ren duo yi xia</mandarin> then okay already


ya but I mean, [orh] teach what


[orh] okay ya lah morning or afternoon, [orh], maybe like you tired then <mandarin>你你你:ni ni ni</mandarin> text them <mandarin>推迟:tui chi</mandarin> lor


[orh] ya maybe maybe ya, and then for after that maybe you should just like make your schedule less busy lah cause you I think you quite you really pack it to the max then, I understand why you will feel stress ah


no lah don't be upset lah I mean we will still doing this and it's okay what, no lah it'll be fine one don't worry okay, ya then I still need to help my dad with his matter so


that one !aiya!, !aiya! <mandarin>很麻烦:hen ma fan</mandarin> but, it will be, but <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I will just do it slowly and then it should be fine by Tuesday lor so !aiya!, it's can one lah


no because I am speaking not very loud I'm just speaking a normal conversation like I don't want to shout then, like that lor, but so far so far you seem to comprehend me okay mah so I just continue lah


ya I know because I'm I'm, I'm not sometimes I mumble and then sometimes I never speak up lah that's why ah, and I using this like, err this err very old web cam ah it's like quite Cui so, so ya lah bear with me lor


ya why, but then you need like that that rolling machine


!aiya! very <mandarin>便宜:pian yi</mandarin> one lah you just go like Shopee or Lazada or <mandarin>淘宝什么什么地方:tao bao shen me shen me di fang</mandarin> then just buy lah, I think like like I think like like like like like twenty bucks or thirty bucks only it's it's it's very cheap


pasta <mandarin>只是:zhi shi</mandarin> flour


!huh!, [orh] !wah! eh scare me the internet connection unstable sia


, I really don't know lah maybe this one really ya I cannot control it cause it's wifi, (uh huh)


ya can ah I also like that what, !huh! only mushroom, !huh! mushroom mushroom mushroom or mushroom or mushroom !aiyo!


oh crap


hello sorry, hello hello, ya, ya it's okay anyway like, I didn't I didn't stop it so ya it's fine, you want to to <mandarin>继续:ji xu</mandarin> or not


no it's already technically it's it's it's it's <mandarin>过去:guo qu</mandarin> Liao what it's <mandarin>过:guo</mandarin> Liao, okay lah then like like like, still got three three minute more right I think


eh this is why ah I I say right we should just stay do in the same room it's much more stable, ya, this kind of thing is just is just Murphy's law you know what I mean


is that what, ya lah then don't submit lah what's the big deal


, then I mean I I I'm just trying my best uh let's let's see what we we get out of this lah okay, ya but these things are not within my control what I mean clearly my internet is okay then


then I have no explanation for why this kind of technical difficulties happen now and and only now because, it's been working fine throughout the whole day and the whole week, you know and I never change anything, it's okay lah


no lah just, err, just err don't be upset, ya but then I I need to have headphones


you see and and that's why computer is the more suitable for me, no, IPad can only wireless what


I don't have the I don't have the USBC headphone thing, wireless not enough battery for one hour talking lah


ya but that's not enough it is not easy to switch the thing here and there that's why I just use computer but how could I have foreseen this that's my point lah, ya lah you are upset because you spend a lot of time on this what but this is also not say a very easy thing I mean


that's why I keep saying that this is something that we should have done in the same room ah that's my feeling lah, this this this like remote thing ah is very, is very messy and is not, it may not be perfect ya it's my feeling lah okay


anyway don't worry about it err <mandarin>我们已经很多话:wo men yi jing hen duo hua</mandarin> Liao so let's see how it goes lah, do you want to do you want to continue I mean like we really had an extra five minutes


, I mean, I don't think the outage is like very long ah so should be okay lah, ya but now it's one hour five minutes do you want to continue or do you want to


stop or do you want I don't know, okay lah I mean it's it's not a big deal if we we say some more things lah


my phone is right in front of me, and so is my camera but I'm just telling you that this whole


two room thing is a very bad idea lah, for I mean I'm not blaming anyone I just think it's not a good I just think there's a there's room for improvement that's all


ya, ya lah I mean we can, we can, talk about it, tomorrow or later after we finish this recording lah, okay, okay lah err


okay let's end end now, press the tick ya

err you feel like eating, oh yeah it costs one plain Prata


like <mandarin>你有一些朋友你不可以有:ni you yi xie peng you ni bu ke yi you</mandarin> ah <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> have too much transactional


alright alright so roughly around nine fifteen at botanic gardens ah


okay okay, no problem I leave roughly around, same timing lor roughly around


sorry, eh <mandarin>我听不到你:wo ting bu dao ni</mandarin> sorry ah


but anyways, honestly I'm looking forward to the poker, later on, err hiking


the hiking I'm not really that, I'm like okay with it, just want to just go for it, yeah I understand but I love poker mah


when you win, then you want to, so good and when you really <mandarin>读:du</mandarin> correctly !wow!, somemore the the money is just like


[orh] <mandarin>我输钱咯可是我才输两毛钱:wo shu qian lo ke shi wo cai shu liang mao qian</mandarin> lah roughly around twenty cents, oh <mandarin>我跟你:wo gen ni</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> [orh], [orh] <mandarin>那时候我玩那个:na shi hou wo wan na ge</mandarin> poker


like <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> err play, play <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> poker, then <mandarin>我不是跟你说:wo bu shi gen ni shuo</mandarin> like


so one of it <mandarin>是我一个朋友:shi wo yi ge peng you</mandarin> melvin, and then <mandarin>第二个是:di er ge shi</mandarin> jeremy, then <mandarin>第三个是:di san ge shi</mandarin> Yikai


okay <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> the the round is like that I I summarize for you a little bit, so it was sean Lee


then when


so Yikai <mandarin>他放了一个三块:ta fang le yi ge san kuai</mandarin> so he put three put three dollars


then sean Lee knowing him knowing sean Lee he is very confident so <mandarin>他也是:ta ye shi</mandarin> put <mandarin>了他就:le ta jiu</mandarin> call, so when <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> call <mandarin>的时候:de shi hou</mandarin> Yikai <mandarin>是有一点:shi you yi dian</mandarin> err shocked, so


like, afterwards, Yikai when the when the table open lah when the card open


so, constantly <mandarin>就变成他的:jiu bian cheng ta de</mandarin> turn


okay so, so the next hand which is, left me and Yikai so basically I remember these hand <mandarin>我记:wo ji</mandarin> I remember this like


so <mandarin>他有一个:ta you yi ge</mandarin> six <mandarin>他有一个:ta you yi ge</mandarin> two


so <mandarin>每个人就:mei ge ren jiu</mandarin> fold, then, afterwards <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> the next hand


what do you call that <mandarin>又:you</mandarin> bet <mandarin>多一次所以他:duo yi ci suo yi ta</mandarin> bet <mandarin>差不多:cha bu duo</mandarin> ten


err what do you call that three dollars, without even looking at the cards so


but to call, but, I have a pair


a pair of tens


it is damn funny but then I tell you I really got like, Bopian [orh] not Bopian like really no choice


then


cause <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> pair <mandarin>是最大嘛我有:shi zui da ma wo you</mandarin> ten ten pair, then table <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> seven pair <mandarin>他自己:ta zi ji</mandarin> table <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> six <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> two <mandarin>也是他自己也是有:ye shi ta zi ji ye shi you</mandarin> six <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> two


so <mandarin>他以为他已经赢:ta yi wei ta yi jing ying</mandarin> Liao lah with a three pair in a sense, so, of course not, of course not so he was so pissed


I mean it's only ten dollars lor, no lah it's not within that two rounds obviously we play for like


two hours or something like that, yeah but, ten dollars only


yeah so, but then afterwards slowly I I come back and then I start to win his money I win alvin's money


I also <mandarin>赢了:ying le</mandarin> jeremy's money so it's


, I already say it's only ten dollars


yeah, we only play for two hours like this I already say


yeah so we play until like three AM, four AM, no we didn't go for KKM because like, so it's like err very very <mandarin>腻:ni</mandarin> ah


uh see how it goes, I mean if I Jio you you also won't come down so it's like sometimes when you Jio people must Jio the right people because sometimes it's just a waste of my time like I feel


I mean true true


I mean


I mean you already know them too they also know your name they also know like how you are, you also got join us for poker sessions <mandarin>以前:yi qian</mandarin> lah so, oh how different


so <mandarin>还是会跟你讲话的:hai shi hui gen ni jiang hua de</mandarin> ah, [orh] <mandarin>我们现在不用:wo men xian zai bu yong</mandarin> pay Grab <mandarin>了因为我有一个朋友会驾车所以我们他去:le yin wei wo you yi ge peng you hui jia che suo yi wo men ta qu</mandarin> <mandarin>他去:ta qu</mandarin> apply for <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> blue SG I don't know you <mandarin>你有听过吗:ni you ting guo ma</mandarin> blue SG


so it's quite good one this blue SG, so for this blue SG


ah, melvin always know how to <mandarin>驾车:jia che</mandarin> one


the amount you have to pay, to travel to my house, so that's why I say we don't need Grab already anymore


or you pay through his car lor


<mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> car <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> location so it's quite interesting


!huh! <mandarin>可以自己驾回家:ke yi zi ji jia hui jia</mandarin> like right back mah


correct lor, yeah so that's why I ask like <mandarin>每个人给十给他那个钱也是:mei ge ren gei shi gei ta na ge qian ye shi</mandarin> ah


err <mandarin>我不可以给你一个给你一个:wo bu ke yi gei ni yi ge gei ni yi ge</mandarin> definite answer leh


but I think Yikai lah Yikai <mandarin>也是有一点点:ye shi you yi dian dian</mandarin> stingy


I mean <mandarin>如果你他他只是这样子对我们:ru guo ni ta ta zhi shi zhe yang zi dui wo men</mandarin> leh, so if you imagine <mandarin>他有很多:ta you hen duo</mandarin> close friend hor


correct lor


correct lor, but he his ego is very high lah low key very high, it cause when you tell him this I got try to like, tell him before this kind of stuff but he he just don't want to listen he just say like, oh I never I never but then <mandarin>他最后:ta zui hou</mandarin> like


like when when it comes to money then he he he tried to Siam a bit try to say it's very <mandarin>贵:gui</mandarin> ah, then like you know what I mean


I mean for birthday presents he chip in lah you know, but when we go out like we go and eat this kind of stuff ah, that's what I ask them to go ah so


oh no no no, saw we sit three three lah the table because cannot


so <mandarin>我就跟:wo jiu gen</mandarin> darren <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> melvin, and then <mandarin>他他们三个:ta ta men san ge</mandarin> lor jeremy Yikai <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> sean Lee so afterwards the the bill come, err ours more expensive lah so roughly around sixty dollars per person lor


so so like, yeah we pay roughly around sixty dollars but honestly it's okay because we ordered the beef the wagyu beef


but, we just bought it lor so anyways like #yikai#'s bill come also lah so like when when it come already then he, we, honestly our our one is very expensive but we never really complain that much lah but when like the bill come already you can see one Yikai like a bit Sian like that


!wah! I can just eat the shabu shabu like start to say this kind of stuff and then very expensive, yeah lah and then he say !wah! wasted, and then it's like <mandarin>这种东西咯:zhe zhong dong xi ge</mandarin> then like later on <mandarin>他就上个厕所他就讲:ta jiu shang ge ce suo ta jiu jiang</mandarin> !wah! wasted leh I gonna poop up


I mean I also say this lah but, but also I also say that lah, I mean I also say this lah but he, can feel like he really mean it lor I really he really meant it lah like this kind of stuff


money lah only when it comes to money lor


he may be <mandarin>是不要还是:shi bu yao hai shi</mandarin> stingy in money lor <mandarin>还是那个:hai shi na ge</mandarin> girl <mandarin>不美:bu mei</mandarin> lor


I mean the I think I think honestly <mandarin>你还不是很了解他:ni hai bu shi hen liao jie ta</mandarin> so <mandarin>你会讲:ni hui jiang</mandarin> good man, so this is the this is the part about you lor when you look at people on the on the surface right


you don't really err you just judge them from there you don't like go and think about them in a, okay ah I think


got some got some good got some bad also lah so, yeah but he got his good and bad lah so this is one of the bad lor now that you <mandarin>知道:zhi dao</mandarin> lor


but, yeah sure I going by botanic I going by buona vista, so you can meet me like at <mandarin>裕廊东咯那个:yu lang dong ge na ge</mandarin> MRT station

I mean no lah is <mandarin>网上的交流:wang shang de jiao liu</mandarin> with with with strangers ah <mandarin>陌生人:mo sheng ren</mandarin> like now <mandarin>我们的:wo men de</mandarin> conversation it's not like you know what you doing what you doing right


ya lah but I think like <mandarin>你要找女友这些:ni yao zhao nv you zhe xie</mandarin> must wait for <mandarin>大学:da xue</mandarin> lor wait for uni lor, ah give you a girlfriend


please be in real life , ,


<mandarin>现实:xian shi</mandarin> , should be okay lah at least you not going like some engineering my friend going engineering then he like


you know, the chances are slim


then <mandarin>我在新加坡:wo zai xin jia po</mandarin> I will study econs lor, if not econs then means just mass media lor I go publicity or something, ya lor ya lor I actually really want to study yale NUS no life, but it's a liberal arts degree lah liberal arts degree <mandarin>没有没有很多用的啊很很难找工作咯:mei you mei you hen duo yong de a hen hen nan zhao gong zuo ge</mandarin> liberal arts degree but then like <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> learning ah the learning itself ah <mandarin>是很多:shi hen duo</mandarin> lah


because you learn almost everything ah ya lor then, but then this is <mandarin>四年是有女生看的:si nian shi you nv sheng kan de</mandarin> leh <mandarin>不一样的:bu yi yang de</mandarin> leh bro


for like life lah but then you're actually not lah then you will just scared of the future lah something like that are you gonna say something like that right


the meaning of life


it's really not like somebody else can tell you like what what's the meaning of your life you know it's like you know maybe I'm in NS and I'm unfulfilled but you can look at it at another way you know what I'm doing nothing at the clerk right maybe it's a way for me to enjoy myself it's a big summer holiday in the great grand scheme of life you know what you can see it like that what


I mean like it's always for me lah it's all about outlook lah, it's all about how you see it, but I can't really relate to your <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> circumstance lah <mandarin>你你是一个很:ni ni shi yi ge hen</mandarin> special circumstance


depressed ah


to the to the negativity of, national service, you will ever look back or not on like JC


not really ah actually I look back quite a lot sia, [orh] like a journal lah


I always just look at like the things I missed lor ah just happy moments, like you know those funny moments at the at the canteen then <mandarin>你过来:ni guo lai</mandarin> then <mandarin>你一个手出来:ni yi ge shou chu lai</mandarin> then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> !wah! then you sigh again feel like every every part of your life you you will sigh one I don't lie at this point right if every point of your life you are sighing right there must be something really like eh has to be like something like you hidden deep inside you ah then you just want to let it all out


!wah! #hong gan# eh <mandarin>你拿那么多:ni na na me duo</mandarin> !wah!


, ah see that sigh ah <mandarin>就是那个:jiu shi na ge</mandarin> sigh everytime canteen hor <mandarin>我听到就是哪个:wo ting dao jiu shi nei ge</mandarin> sigh then <mandarin>你的你的左手在我的肩膀:ni de ni de zuo shou zai wo de jian bang</mandarin> Haiya


!wow!


so that that's under the assumption that <mandarin>你会找到女朋友:ni hui zhao dao nv peng you</mandarin> lah so we are working under this assumption lah ceteris paribus


I mean sure but then I also thought like you know like happiness itself right if you just experience happiness constantly then it won't be very happy


while whereas it's like if you struggle than you feel very depressed and then you experience a small amount of happiness that small amount of happiness will be like <mandarin>会变得很大:hui bian de hen da</mandarin> lah <mandarin>你你真的可以:ni ni zhen de ke yi</mandarin> feel <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> impact


okay lah but like what I'm trying to say is like <mandarin>好像你你你想打:hao xiang ni ni ni xiang da</mandarin> game lah then <mandarin>你你整整个你:ni ni zheng zheng ge ni</mandarin> study <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> study <mandarin>你不要打:ni bu yao da</mandarin> game <mandarin>你你:ni ni</mandarin> maybe <mandarin>你每天打:ni mei tian da</mandarin> game is happy but <mandarin>如果你去:ru guo ni qu</mandarin> study right <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> study <mandarin>一个月:yi ge yue</mandarin> then after that <mandarin>你做完你的:ni zuo wan ni de</mandarin> exam right then <mandarin>你去打:ni qu da</mandarin> game ah !wah!


you feel like this is the best game I played in <mandarin>我整个人生:wo zheng ge ren sheng</mandarin> leh, you know what I'm saying


ya ya <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> McDonald's or something, ya [loh] ya [loh]


which, !whoa! !whoa! <mandarin>那个是一个很大的:na ge shi yi ge hen da de</mandarin> statement okay bro


you are treading the line of the <mandarin>那个那个女人在那个:na ge na ge nv ren zai na ge</mandarin> Netflix show <mandarin>那个十三个:na ge shi san ge</mandarin> reason why


high functioning <mandarin>你是讲:ni shi jiang</mandarin> like <mandarin>他们的工作:ta men de gong zuo</mandarin> or what


I see but I feel like I will think about productive lah but productive <mandarin>是一个人的:shi yi ge ren de</mandarin> it's like a outlook lah like what you feel is productive to you is the limit you put yourself or if I do this type of thing I'm productive if I do this type of thing I'm not productive


so productivity I feel it's like relative lah, ah I mean it's like what kind of things you are doing in your life that you feel is meaningful that is when you feel like you're productive, right, but what what helps you determine what is meaningful


you yourself or other people society or god, no what it's just you yourself what what you determine you feel like is productive if aiming to be happy in your life is your productivity then eating a meal right is productive what, if you want to survive you know let's say caveman ah <mandarin>我们是一个:wo men shi yi ge</mandarin> cave men right then <mandarin>我们我们什么是:wo men wo men shen me shi</mandarin> productive <mandarin>一天哇我:yi tian wa wo</mandarin> hunt <mandarin>到一个:dao yi ge</mandarin> a piece of meat and I eat and I survived I was very productive today you know it's all it's all like uh what you feel like

(ugh) ah !wow!, okay lah maybe after you get maybe you will really get into your light novel I recommend ah who knows maybe after that you really feel like reading is your passion then instead of breathing it change to like reading or something or just like enjoying

Brah there is, fourteen point five hours eh fourteen point five office hours eh, the only place where this is err <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> ah is, military service and that it

they have a front right for for a platform for you to <mandarin>求救:qiu jiu</mandarin> but then when you actually go to <mandarin>求救:qiu jiu</mandarin> right you realize it's the edge of a cliff there's actually nothing on the other side


!aiya! it that's, oh I haven't watch it yet lah I was ya haven't watch yet, oh okay no okay no but I I feel like I feel like this is some I mean before you started this I think that's something we can discuss what do you feel about the


free speech in singapore like the ya, , !huh! free will, you mean as in like society in general not particular in any like err societal context just


that humans are okay,


, (hmm) ya ya, I kind I can kind of understand, it's like it's like if I'm if I'm in a like a very very bad situation right if I truly have free will I can just tell myself


which is not the case lah ya,


so like we have ingrained preferences ah, ya no but that is true though like that like <mandarin>真的那个:zhen de na ge</mandarin> like there are people who feel that way cause we are really not the worst lah like they are I would say the medics there really have a


worst like like <mandarin>我我:wo wo</mandarin> my heart also goes out to them lah like <mandarin>我也是同情他们:wo ye shi tong qing ta men</mandarin> like the read the grass is really always greener on the other side lah, , uh


!wah! okay like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> okay <mandarin>我我跟你说实:wo wo gen ni shuo shi</mandarin> like for real ah is I think the the season is coming ah ah mating season no I just kidding


!huh! no lah but it's like I mean recently !hey! <mandarin>我是有用比较多:wo shi you yong bi jiao duo</mandarin> lah like maybe I don't know it's cause I've got nothing to do or what like I I've been there a bit more lah then, !wah!, like previously right like previously I


I err I I, eh I I I know I don't know what you I don't know where you're going with that but I was saying previously I used to swipe but then I didn't really talk to to anyone cause I was like


!aiya! like, everything very <mandarin>虚伪:xu wei</mandarin> you know it's like all very superficial, like <mandarin>没有意义了你跟他们讲:mei you yi yi le ni gen ta men jiang</mandarin> like nothing will come out of it one but then I think recently I really been like a bit like deprived lah of social interaction so


so I was, I was just finding finding people to talk to lah then, so I started to swipe like a bit more then like, actually start conversations lah so like when I talk to them, !wah! I was I like, a bit shocked sia cause like <mandarin>我发现:wo fa xian</mandarin> like


I don't know if I always been like this or like


true right true right I mean when you you so this like <mandarin>网上的交流:wang shang de jiao liu</mandarin> right is always eh what you doing what you doing what you do, ah true lah true lah ya cause


I'm a I'm a, I'm a I'm a reality man <mandarin>我要现实:wo yao xian shi</mandarin> lah I want to live in the present


, wait wait wait but I I


okay, , (uh huh)


, I mean you think about it


eh hehe no but no no no no no no the the I the thing I was saying is, like, think of how much you have accomplished in the last two years then you think about <mandarin>四年:si nian</mandarin> ah, you come out supposed to be like ready for like


you know ready to live and ya, I I guess once again is like questioning the, utility you know <mandarin>有多:you duo</mandarin> err no like, how necessary is uni lah like how <mandarin>有多少意义:you duo shao yi yi</mandarin> ah like you know


!wah! okay, (hmm) true true okay ya that is very true though


, err, like where wherever my outlook right was like, was one of a positive one like I really felt like I had the power to


change the way I want to see things, but then, but then once I went in right it's really like, I felt like I, lost lost lost all control over myself I just let myself succumb to everything


then everyday I'm just like <mandarin>救命啊救命啊救命啊:jiu ming a jiu ming a jiu ming a</mandarin> , JC not really not really JC not really cause cause


like just to it's like it's a form of release as well as will also


kind of like, you I've been through that lah I want to know that even in the toughest times I've actually, gone though it gone through it like, you know ya you look back the problems you thought were big were actually like, hah ya so when I do look back it's actually looking back at how far I've come in NS and not like JC stuff


so,


that's very true


, what I got same as you right <mandarin>跟你一样:gen ni yi yang</mandarin> right


I mean I like


you know the quality of life in singapore like I keep I keep thinking like there's always this thought at the back of my mind lah like eventually, very probably <mandarin>我们会:wo men hui</mandarin> you know <mandarin>开始我们自己的家庭:kai shi wo men zi ji de jia ting</mandarin> you know like we have to raise their own children then


ah !walao! you [orh] you make me you make me curse ya lah but you know


oh, it it's also feel like you know going down the road it's only going to get harder you know you get that feeling


yes that is very true that is very true, but (uh huh), I I don't want no no no skip next <mandarin>下一个下一个:xia yi ge xia yi ge</mandarin> next topic


(uh huh)


ya I think I go I think another good example is like, after like maybe one month or something or two weeks you like then you come out of confinement then you have your first


but like me like I for real though !wah! I mean this is like <mandarin>有一点难讲:you yi dian nan jiang</mandarin> lah but, it like it's a very sad statement lah but, I I I cannot remember you know like <mandarin>我不记得:wo bu ji de</mandarin> when's the last time


I actually felt happy , !aiya! I mean seriously I think they


like, I realized you know society right there's like there's really so many what they call like, high functioning people like I don't want to say like what high functioning what lah but, even though we go


no like even when, they are under a lot of things lah like <mandarin>他们很多压力很多问题:ta men hen duo ya li hen duo wen ti</mandarin> or what but on the surface, everyone is still able to continue on with their life like even be productive and efficient and all that eventhough, deep down like we got a lot of <mandarin>问题:wen ti</mandarin> ah


but still we are able to function as normal human beings on the surface, basically we have a lot to carry lah


is, productivity is err, is what ah is, productivity is defined as output over input right or something


, I


for (mmhmm), for my for my situation right, I I find it hard to see what is hard to find something meaningful but it's <mandarin>很容易:hen rong yi</mandarin> to see what is not meeting <mandarin>很容易真的很容易:hen rong yi zhen de hen rong yi</mandarin> no lah it's like the easiest thing ever lah you look here look there right everywhere can find


like it just came to me one night while I was like before I was sleeping just like thinking about life and all that


so so here it goes it just hit me lah like this thought lah it's really, hit me out of nowhere so it was just like, to ORD, is to breathe


so I just keep telling myself to ORD you you just need to breathe


but you see right you can see right how much like this has lowered my standards you know like, my <mandarin>生:sheng</mandarin> my <mandarin>生活素质:sheng huo su zhi</mandarin> right like I really don't expect anything already I just wanted to breathe


I I actually wanted to sia but then I, you know I was actually going to start something like I actually like drafted something but then I realize


so then I just realize, ya lah making videos is, something that, is for more effective I guess in my opinion, ya


, no space no caps ah oh got space


, (mmhmm), wait wait wait


!whoa! so <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> then <mandarin>他是什么:ta shi shen me</mandarin> appointment, oh okay okay


, (mmhmm), !wah!


!wah!


!whoa! that actually is a win though like it actually blew up


ah not easy lah not easy


no leh, what kind of game you talking about, I mean on computer, not really


ah, I just I guess I just feel like, a big part of my life is already, not doing anything productive then, if I think of myself as playing game I mean at the back of my head it feels like something there's not that productive lah then, I guess I just


instinctively shy away from it lor, hah


I I think <mandarin>我我:wo wo</mandarin> just I just stick to just breathing


eh but, !wah!, like okay this this a bit out of nowhere but


when's the last time you actually <mandarin>写华文字:xie hua wen zi</mandarin> , !huh!


I mean like just starting on this project just make me think of like


(uh huh), uh,


hahaha


!wow!, [orh], but then when when you at home eh like when you at home like <mandarin>你是说什么语言:ni shi shuo shen me yu yan</mandarin> ah


oh, so so, like <mandarin>改次你有自己的家庭后:gai ci ni you zi ji de jia ting hou</mandarin> you will you will probably speak in english right with them


, you know but it your your but then your children <mandarin>改次在学校:gai ci zai xue xiao</mandarin> they still need to take chinese


which is why so many people say like chinese not that good


, ha ha ha ha


, oh name drop right there,


oh, like when I first saw the the <mandarin>小白兔:xiao bai tu</mandarin> right I already knew something was coming already, like I told you right I told you I I I I just they don't make me they make me uncomfortable ah like it's just something about them it's like <mandarin>他们的眼他们的眼睛:ta men de yan ta men de yan jing</mandarin> you know and like


!wah! the way they just, look at you ah !wah! I don't know it just <mandarin>让我很不自在:rang wo hen bu zi zai</mandarin> ah then the scene came then I was like !wah! this is really <mandarin>真的:zhen de</mandarin> nightmare fuel sia


I think I think that's one of the, I think that's one of the reasons why people like it also cause the the creator right they actually <mandarin>敢做到这样:gan zuo dao zhe yang</mandarin> you know they actually dare to take it to some crazy places


okay I tell you to to the only reason I started err watching the anime right was because that time err <mandarin>我看到这个录像:wo kan dao zhe ge lu xiang</mandarin> ah of the the scene where you know she was being visited by the


the, twisted , no in the cave with the with the with the clown guy with that bro I you watching the wrong anime


ya maybe that that was probably one of the, the most extreme scene already ah then you know it's like !wow! cool anyway cool anyway


quite nice leh quite


, oh sure yes yes ya ya actually


I mean, okay the the rose sword is actually like confirm, and then the beatrice also oh my gosh


uh, like


, no actually not,


I think I have to ask them to just


I have plans lah but <mandarin>我不懂我几时会:wo bu dong wo ji shi hui</mandarin> actually get to it, !huh!, ah


you see you <mandarin>你也知道我我对:ni ye zhi dao wo wo dui</mandarin> like army <mandarin>这个问这个话题有很多东西讲:zhe ge wen zhe ge hua ti you hen duo dong xi jiang</mandarin> lah but <mandarin>我们也是:wo men ye shi</mandarin> we also know that the things I want to say actually <mandarin>是最好不要讲:shi zui hao bu yao jiang</mandarin>


so ya so I guess I'll have to find some way to you know <mandarin>转变:zhuan bian</mandarin> frame for ya exactly exactly, exactly so it's something along those lines ah


<mandarin>人生不容易:ren sheng bu rong yi</mandarin> ah that's why, that's oh my gosh


then <mandarin>所以怎样:suo yi zen yang</mandarin> what's the solution


ah


you you I I <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> I got the answer for you, I got I got the answer for you you know why or not, because


okay okay I wouldn't say <mandarin>我不是我们:wo bu shi wo men</mandarin> like, the the forces won't be in the state it was doing


!wah!, that you are condition to do already ah,


!wah! <mandarin>我这次我真的:wo zhe ci wo zhen de</mandarin> I really I'd I'd, like the the built up fatigue uh oh my god I need a


for you know a <mandarin>时间:shi jian</mandarin> to <mandarin>放松:fang song</mandarin> and just like <mandarin>解开:jie kai</mandarin> everything man


ya lah but I think we just, carry on for <mandarin>多一下子:duo yi xia zi</mandarin> you know just in case safety, if we see ya


, , what's the gastronomia [orh] the


I mean I'm actually I'm actually thankful that I get fed that I get to <mandarin>省钱:sheng qian</mandarin> you know, because as I said many times before my bare minimum is just to <mandarin>呼吸:hu xi</mandarin> anything above that is a plus


can you hear that I I'm laughing okay I I am still okay


, oh <mandarin>我以为你去:wo yi wei ni qu</mandarin> gym or something sia but like, a bit hard lah


I thought that there was a period where you was like so focused on <mandarin>减肥:jian fei</mandarin> then you always post the progress picture, !wah! fast what happened to that, at home also can <mandarin>运动:yun dong</mandarin> one what
