as in they just conquer a portion of china ah, right, okay, !wah! that mean <mandarin>他们也是要很多人:ta men ye shi yao hen duo ren</mandarin> leh because china is so big


okay, ya, ya


, but last time how they communicate, last time <mandarin>他们有:ta men you</mandarin> translator <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> ah, ya when they came


or <mandarin>商人:shang ren</mandarin> ah, (uh huh)


or they want to leave china okay so like spies, okay okay, ah, ya


but then, the japanese the japanese people will protect them meh


ya lor , ya lor,


won't experience this, ya


ya, like like recently, recently in europe I think france, I don't know if you got see the news but there was this I think there was this guy he was he ya he go and he go and like


I think he will I I I can't remember if he was a student or, or or what but like


just like <mandarin>光天:guang tian</mandarin> you know under broad daylight, ya, ya then, that's why, but like <mandarin>很像:hen xiang</mandarin> nobody's really talking about it I think now everybody just focus on the election


but <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> there's a lot of <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> problems recently, I think some of <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> according to the articles right some of <mandarin>这些人他们:zhe xie ren ta men</mandarin> they they are actually travellers they are tourists they come from some other country then I think the the sole mission of going there is just to


like kill kill people ya, ya, ya they are not the local people, but then like because I think because they are foreigners then within countries <mandarin>他们有自己的:ta men you zi ji de</mandarin> rules mah so maybe if if like if he manages to escape the country before he you know then maybe like let's say france or something cannot take action on him


cause <mandarin>他:ta</mandarin> he's not in that country anymore even though he committed crime there, ya


ya ya ya


ya singapore still quite safe, , true ya, I think with the foreigners coming in they like change the dynamic of the country a bit


, like pickpocket lah


okay, , ya


last time, , but I think, like in comparison to other countries is still quite safe ah, ya, it's just


, ya, , then it's also like on the news right because the, the results are coming out tomorrow for the election then


then outside the trump tower got, they I think I I don't know if donald trump like hired <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> like security and then they are like fully armed there with guns and everything, ya like <mandarin>很多很多:hen duo hen duo</mandarin> they just stand outside the building to like guard the building leh


then after that like all the shops surrounding the buildings in that area right <mandarin>很像那种名牌店:hen xiang na zhong ming pai dian</mandarin> hor <mandarin>他们全部都他们的:ta men quan bu dou ta men de</mandarin> cause <mandarin>他们的门全部都是:ta men de men quan bu dou shi</mandarin> glass right so <mandarin>他们全部都:ta men quan bu dou</mandarin> like


ya like all of the <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> leh <mandarin>全部都:quan bu dou</mandarin> like I think everybody is ready for something bad to happen


ya, they go until


do all these things lah ya ya ya, I don't understand


but even, but even so like they cannot change anything already but even if they go and destroy the building it's like they cannot change the polling results mah


okay, for like other things ah, then they just use this as an excuse, ya


ya ya


, ya, actually it's quite scary, ya


a lot of jobs ah, ya, , EV is short form for what, electro electronic vehicles


okay, ya,


, but then isn't that like very <mandarin>浪费他们现在有的车:lang fei ta men xian zai you de che</mandarin> leh,


okay, ya


ya, , ya ya,


(mmhmm)


ya,


ya, ya


!wah! actually ya lor the mobile phone grow like change things a lot and very fast, ya, ya ya ya,


!wah! two zero two five it's very soon leh, ya lor, ya ya ya,


but but recently I I saw <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> statistics right that like how it's about how like people have been spending money throughout this COVID period lah then I think I then eh like in the statistics shows that people in norway <mandarin>很像:hen xiang</mandarin> like


I think they've been spending more until <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> like <mandarin>有越来越少钱:you yue lai yue shao qian</mandarin> like they are not growing like economically anymore leh


ya, ya ya, oh is it


I think this week or last week, I like an airport in germany just open eh I think in berlin or something, ya


true, , ya


that means everything will just be, via like electricity, yes


but actually !ee! isn't like electricity very bad also like bad for the environment, cause <mandarin>也是用:ye shi yong</mandarin> like <mandarin>资源:zi yuan</mandarin> what, that's why so ya so it's like after after this EV then <mandarin>也是会有:ye shi hui you</mandarin> something else when there's not enough like


natural resources anymore, there's no pollution ah, don't have pollution


, [orh] okay okay, older cars


, ya, ya


!hannor!, , another problem


ya that's why, ya, unless they use like solar system, do you think


!huh! , ya


, ya, actually power station <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> it's very bad


ya, ya lor, then <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> like <mandarin>很多以前那些:hen duo yi qian nei xie</mandarin> like <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> power plant <mandarin>爆炸:bao zha</mandarin> right, I think even after <mandarin>一百年:yi bai nian</mandarin> hor <mandarin>它也是:ta ye shi</mandarin> the area is still like <mandarin>不:bu</mandarin> err <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> radiation then people still cannot live there one


, I think like japan the time japan that time also, ya japan that time <mandarin>他们也是:ta men ye shi</mandarin> I think after the tsunami ah


I think I don't know it also got affected, then recently there's this like there's this show hor then it's like a few travellers they go to <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> like dangerous places then they go and see so they went to japan then they went to that area so they brought <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> like <mandarin>一个:yi ge</mandarin> thermometer to look at <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> radiations to look at the radiations like like how high is the radiation lah then they still


is still like it's still very bad it's like cannot live in cannot cannot live there that kind of things, if not ya, even though it's already been so long


!ee! , , nuclear ah,


actually nuclear is it like chemicals, or what what is nuclear exactly


, ya,


(mmhmm), ya, ya


, ya, I think that ya lor


ya ya ya I think so too, , then they gonna die also ya


change ah, ,


the battery, okay


oh okay, the rest is not meh, [orh]


ya, china <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> ah, ah


, okay


[orh] but how big is the charger, [orh], okay


ya, lighter ah, you don't need so much ah, , ya ya ya


okay that's ya that's not bad, , then


but like <mandarin>这些车:zhe xie che</mandarin> then what happens if in the middle of the road they don't have battery because for petrol you still can you still can <mandarin>自己加:zi ji jia</mandarin> in the middle of the road what


!wah! that means , I think even for like, actually EV is not is not the same thing as like self driving cars right, cause tesla is also <mandarin>在出:zai chu</mandarin> self driving cars lah


ya lor, ya ya ya,


ya, cause actually <mandarin>那些:nei xie</mandarin> I think all of the tesla cars now right <mandarin>都是可以:dou shi ke yi</mandarin> self drive <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> leh, [orh] <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> I I thought it comes together when you get the car


, (uh huh), ya


ya, oh is it, hundred no but I think but now now like in US right <mandarin>你买一辆:ni mai yi liang</mandarin> tesla it's only around seventy to eighty thousand I think


ya, ya ya, so they can have more customers lah


thirty thousand, so cheap, ya, ya


ya lor I I think they will, actually it's quite hard for other cars to, other brands to change, cause everybody knows them for that already mah, hor


ya ya, !hannor! ya,


oh yes ya ya ya I saw, actually by doing that they can save a lot of cost also leh like labor cost, ya, they can produce faster and more efficient also


ya lor ya ya ya


ya, that's why, then what's gonna happen <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> ya it's very problematic also leh


ya lor, you still need the <mandarin>人:ren</mandarin> lah, but then it's just whether or not, the people that you have around have the skills to do


the job, ya, actually ya [lor] that's why then (ppo) !aiya!


US election, now most of the enemies, hoping that biden will win


ya, because if biden win, they say it will be good for the economy <mandarin>对于经济比较厚:dui yu jing ji bi jiao hou</mandarin> lah <mandarin>比较好:bi jiao hao</mandarin> biden win, would be better


if trump win it might be uh, disruptive, for the world economy, because trump is going against the world economy, ya


uh trump is good for US economy but bad for the world economy


err <mandarin>会有很大的:hui you hen da de</mandarin> impact


okay, win then err if trump


say no you don't agree with it, then it might bring disaster to the market, and the market will collapse, ya because


and it's a clear, clear cut win


it will be better, err win, that means, it it is a win win situation it's not like a fifty fifty then it's it's don't know who when the kind of things


but now, uh the fear is that biden win, ah, he will deny say no no this is not the one not not not not the way


then he don't agree, and then the market, err, will be in a bad situation it will collapse, yes, the market will collapse, yes, what do you think


, the market in china economy is drop dropping


to pump in, it will be better to have, err foreign fund to come in


china community party [orh]


uh, what do you think, foreign fund


uh


uh, it can be long term, because if let's say the foreign fund uh is a long stay then it will benefit, the country for a long term, uh for example like singapore uh we talked about singapore stock market ah if let's say


err the whole market, it's only depend on the local fund, so you can see the limitation down there, but if let's say some err foreign fund house the big one like JP morgan err blackrock blackrock goldman sachs


or templeton, or any any one of them, they they say they going to, yes


uh we we actually don't need so much foreigner depends on which sector


uh so it all depends !ee! !ee! !ee! in this world we have to understand that uh not everything the same, uh not everything is certain, there are some certain thing is certain but there are certain thing is uncertain, so it's all depend depending on which industry


and also uh, uh which is the the market area that


ya <mandarin>他们自己的:ta men zi ji de</mandarin> #ang moh# lah, , you you you know why this is err because this is a different err mindset and concept, ya different mindset and concept


uh why why I said that is okay, because you have to understand in singapore, if let's say a person work in err construction, or they would think that this is a very, low class people


and furthermore the pay is not that attractive, so people will think, this is a low class people so this is the, concept that singapore here


uh it's not easy to change it's not, it's not easy to change, yes unless what happened is, uh they increase the pay, they increase to pay, then it will attract the, uh actually those people who work in construction the pay is not high


try to complete, and then they must meet the deadline or else, the company will have to compensate, ya have to fork out more money and then they won't earn, !huh!


oh yes yes, err <mandarin>有车去载他们:you che qu zai ta men</mandarin> ah, uh, uh <mandarin>可能那种大大辆的:ke neng na zhong da da liang de</mandarin> err #luo li# lah


ah, ah


ah, !aiya! twenty dollars AUD for one hour


even for the part time job ah any part time job ah, you must pay them twenty AUD per hour, cannot be lower than that, ya, that's why, their tax very high their tax is very high


that that's why, uh yes everywhere the same as long you work you pay tax, regardless <mandarin>你是:ni shi</mandarin> full time


err ah after offset, err debates are small rebates


then, ah


income tax personal income tax <mandarin>是比较低:shi bi jiao di</mandarin> lah compared to the westernise country


but <mandarin>他在别的地方:ta zai bie de di fang</mandarin> tax, for example err alcohol and tobacco tax, ah


uh, uh


uh


very cold so they need some, alcohol, to keep them warm so, the government will not want to tax so much on


on the, I mean alcohol tax ya they won't want to tax so, ya I know in <mandarin>因为在:yin wei zai</mandarin> err especially europe uh <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> beer <mandarin>比:bi</mandarin> plain water, mineral water lah <mandarin>还要便宜:hai yao pian yi</mandarin> ah


uh since beer got taste, ah drink more beer, hor drink more beer mah hor beer <mandarin>也比较好喝:ye bi jiao hao he</mandarin> mah mineral water <mandarin>这样淡:zhe yang dan</mandarin> mah <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> plain


so drink more beer, err <mandarin>变成:bian cheng</mandarin> like <mandarin>久了就变成:jiu le jiu bian cheng</mandarin> addicted to beer, uh, ya


err <mandarin>还是西方国家的:hai shi xi fang guo jia de</mandarin> beer <mandarin>是他们的专场:shi ta men de zhuan chang</mandarin> specialist ah, ah, ya <mandarin>你你懂好像:ni ni dong hao xiang</mandarin> china <mandarin>也是有也是有:ye shi you ye shi you</mandarin> beer


uh, uh yes but this <mandarin>青岛啤酒:qing dao pi jiu</mandarin> uh is actually is from germany, german, err <mandarin>为什么呢因为以前:wei shen me ne yin wei yi qian</mandarin> china


uh say uh they want to stay here for like hundred years


ya so they they will pay china government certain err, err something like hong-kong lah hong-kong you know, uh, but hong-kong china give out freely


or or opium war, uh so, the english government want the china to compensate them, err that is before world war one yes


before world war one, uh Qing dynasty, so china err so england say okay we want hong-kong, so, they sign err agreement, agreement that hong-kong will belongs to england for the next hundred years


ya, then for <mandarin>青岛:qing dao</mandarin> err the german people, so the german, people they move in there, then even in china <mandarin>青岛:qing dao</mandarin> you can see the german


uh architect structure those uh building which is in, german style, and also the german bring in their beer technology


ah, no what I mean is the <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> ah <mandarin>要酿这个酒:yao niang zhe ge jiu</mandarin> uh, ah <mandarin>你要有一个技术:ni yao you yi ge ji shu</mandarin> mah, uh that means you need the machine, and all these ya so that what that's what I mean by technology


uh hor uh, so after the the japanese came to conquer china in nineteen thirties, then the german people, uh this is


considered world war two, world war two nineteen thirty something, uh, so the china, uh I mean the german people in <mandarin>青岛:qing dao</mandarin> is only a small, percentage small portion


so they they cannot fight the japanese army, so they they they they decided to run away from <mandarin>青岛:qing dao</mandarin> to be safe, ah


err can be civilian can be a civilian <mandarin>蛮多:man duo</mandarin> german <mandarin>的人去的有一些是:de ren qu de you yi xie shi</mandarin> civilian <mandarin>有一些是:you yi xie shi</mandarin> government officer <mandarin>有一些是:you yi xie shi</mandarin> businessmen, !huh!


ah <mandarin>有钱的去:you qian de qu</mandarin> but <mandarin>没有钱的他们可以:mei you qian de ta men ke yi</mandarin> like employed and work there, ah <mandarin>因为那个时候青岛:yin wei na ge shi hou qing dao</mandarin> belongs to german


uh no more no more that's during the after uh when the japanese came in conquer china, uh the only just a small percentage small portion of the german people they can't fight the japanese soldier so they decided to run away


then after that they never come back anymore, uh and this is a history this is a true history, you you can find ya, that's why today uh people were quite surprise how how can chinese brew uh beer they you know they can produce beer because


!huh!, ah yes because china people they don't drink beer, they only drink chinese tea, the chinese people also don't even drink coffee, plus coffee it's it's not the beverage for china people not for the chinese people


chinese people only like, tea, tea leaf yes they have a lot of tea leaf and different type of tea leaf, and some are very expensive tea leaf yes, yes china china has been drinking tea for more than a thousand years ago


ya, and, tea is actually in chinese to chinese they are actually like medicine, tea, ya in the past, ah <mandarin>药草草药:yao cao cao yao</mandarin> ah


tea itself until today is also uh very healthy drinks, ya it can clean up your you know intestine and everything ya


ya it is very healthy but the best way to drink tea is not to put add inside sugar add inside milk no, just to drink purely tea don't add anything, don't add sugar the taste may be bitter but it's alright


you just enjoy the bitters, because if you enjoy the bitters you can find the sweetness after the bitters, you see, and that is the best part, yes


you are not all <mandarin>差:cha</mandarin> lah


and also know what is the best tea and all these, ah, actually when we talk about all these uh chinese culture right


ya, but the thing is the problem is the chinese people, look down on their own culture


uh I I will tell you why, because, even in singapore you can see the chinese people in singapore they look down on the chinese culture


until today, yes, I won't uh I don't say it's all but, it is not done about it is because, I think it's because last time


eh due to the war due to this communist party they they have this cultural revolutions in nineteen sixty six, then err, they


destroy a lot the their own chinese culture and then that time they only have like a chairman Mao thinking, uh that kind of things, ya but actually chinese culture is very rich


chinese, they they is uh culture is combinations, not purely chinese


china, you mean china, china <mandarin>有有被:you you bei</mandarin> invaded


ah <mandarin>三次:san ci</mandarin> lah, okay the first one is during the Yuan dynasty, ah


ah, ah


a lots err dynasty a lot of <mandarin>朝朝代:chao chao dai</mandarin> but all this is uh the chinese they fight among themself, err who win who will start their own dynasty


uh chinese fight again themself, who win who be the the the king or the emperor, but there are three three periods which is the major one which is conquered by the foreigner uh the first one we are talking about is the <mandarin>元朝元朝:yuan chao yuan chao</mandarin> is being conquered by the mongolian


the mongolian is, ah they are not they don't speak chinese, they are the, those are tribes


they, ya, they they they they don't leave permanent at one place, okay they will stay there then once their, you know their goods their cow or their horse whatever finish up the all the grass surrounding area


they will move to another area, got grass got water then they will all station there they will build their their tent


then they will stay there, uh they they keep moving, from area to area, uh but they, no no no now they don't have to do that because now it's a modern society, ah


they have, , okay <mandarin>现在他们有自己的:xian zai ta men you zi ji de</mandarin> uh city <mandarin>了他们有自己的:le ta men you zi ji de</mandarin> city, uh <mandarin>所以他们:suo yi ta men</mandarin> uh


err <mandarin>他们已经是变成一个:ta men yi jing shi bian cheng yi ge</mandarin> modern <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> city <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> lah, !huh!


uh, I I I think some of their equipment or their infrastructure, it could be like first world country already <mandarin>他们也是蛮不错不是整个:ta men ye shi man bu cuo bu shi zheng ge</mandarin> mongolia lah <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> in the city area


ah <mandarin>他们也是也是很:ta men ye shi ye shi hen</mandarin> high tech <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> uh <mandarin>就是像一个:jiu shi xiang yi ge</mandarin> a modern city <mandarin>这样没有什么:zhe yang mei you shen me</mandarin> difference lah <mandarin>如果去到比较偏僻的那种乡下地方他们就:ru guo qu dao bi jiao pian pi de na zhong xiang xia di fang ta men jiu</mandarin> uh <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> facility infrastructure <mandarin>可能就没有这么好:ke neng jiu mei you zhe me hao</mandarin> lah


, no no not <mandarin>秦始皇秦始皇:qin shi huang qin shi huang</mandarin> is err


two thousand years ago, uh <mandarin>他们这些是叫做清朝清朝:ta men zhe xie shi jiao zuo qing chao qing chao</mandarin> they are the people who are from the northern part of china


ah, they are the people


ah another


err, ah, so err being like err takeover by some other guys, no lah not not kidnap is being err <mandarin>被别的男人抢去:bei bie de nan ren qiang qu</mandarin> lah, so he got very angry


so he opened up the gate and let the foreign foreigner like this one the <mandarin>女真族:nv zhen zu</mandarin> enter, uh you see, enter


they are a bit like the mongolian people lah, uh uh no they are a bit like the mongolian people, you see, they also fight like the mongolian people, ah


ah and also they are very good, !huh!


ah, ya, so err they conquered, china for two hundred over years, ah, ya


and all these, ya, so the another period that uh china being conquered by


or the major one is the japanese, that is the nineteen thirties, ya japanese actually conquer china for nearly eight years, around eight years, ya that mean china being rule by the japanese for eight years eight years is quite a long period


ya long period, ya, ya then actually uh the japanese soldier ah, they are not err everyone is the japanese there are some, err combination of taiwanese


and the korean, , , ah, they, they actually conquered all almost all the major city


ya, they already conquer, ya, yes they already conquer city like Shanghai Beijing, err Chongqing, a lot and the


the northern, ah, northern part of the


!huh!, you mean the japanese, ah okay during that time uh they have the people like core traders


you know there are some chinese people, who, err want to leave, and then get reward from the japanese army, so they work for the japanese


they they work for the japanese they be the, translator for the, japanese soldier, ya, uh yes


ya, uh in english it's call traitor, b, uh japanese people might protect them but japanese people sometime see that they are <mandarin>没有利用的价值的时候:mei you li yong de jia zhi de shi hou</mandarin> they were just kill them also


ya, you see, so actually during war time is ah, ah


ya so, hopefully in our near future we don't see anymore war, but <mandarin>可是现在:ke shi xian zai</mandarin> ya but <mandarin>现在你看:xian zai ni kan</mandarin> ah


and also at south china sea, the tension is quite high, , , like what


okay, okay, you mean recently ah


that that's very cruel, ,


, [orh], ah, !wah! that's very bad uh


that's quite bad lah, hor, it is like, I think now because


that means europe is not very safe ah, can we put it that way, !huh!, , ,


destroyed lah, to kill and destroy ah, oh I see [orh] they are not the local people lah, ya


okay that means they are they are, , , okay, okay


that means europe not safe ah, something like america also not safe, america, err people can own guns and then, they can just shoot


ya, uh I think singapore still safe lah, but singapore I would say, it's not safe as last time, because we have quite a lot of foreigners coming in


so, you know ya it it can be, ya, now in singapore you have to be careful what what I noticed is err everyday there are a lot of people ah


uh they lost their items personal items, can be their wallet can be their wallet can be their handphone, and sometime they also don't know, how they they they they lost the thing you see


uh so it could be, uh pickpocket or, anything, ya, so singapore I would say it's not as safe as, last time previously ah, so you've still have to be careful


uh, , err singapore's still safe compared to other country yes, eh eh eh even compared to our neighbour, like malaysia the #johor bahru# side we are we are still safer then them


ah, okay so , , ,


, ah, fully armed for what, to, guard what what what what type of buildings there


I know what type of building is that ah, ,


[orh] [orh] oh, okay okay, oh <mandarin>他们怕:ta men pa</mandarin> lah, , !haiya! everywhere election the tension is very high


ya ya, I think they they also scared, so hopefully it can be a peaceful election, ya because sometimes if the other party win ah then another party their supporter will not be


happy, so they will do something, !huh!


that extreme ah, ya, so anything it's better to be neutral, err the chinese call the <mandarin>中央中庸之道:zhong yang zhong yong zhi dao</mandarin> lah


!ee!, , ya some they, ya some they they doing all this is because they want to


err show their frustration their anger that their party don't win, ya, ya ya they just, ya and to show that they are not happy ya that kind of things


ya it's, it is normal lah sometime, but it it better don't hope happen, all these thing better not not to happen, ya


moving forward we can see that, !huh!, ya ya, moving forward the the whole world will be changing, ah, uh


[orh] it will be a digitalised society lah everything is about high tech very high tech, and in fact china is, yes it it it indeed is very scary and, it will have an impact on quite a numbers of industry


especially the oil and gas industry will be hit when, the EV the <mandarin>电动汽车:dian dong qi che</mandarin> you know start to conquer the road, then the oil, !huh!


ya electric vehicle the the so called EV, uh, because for china side they already want, err to have a hundred percent, EV on their road by two zero three five


err currently they have about five percent, uh so because this is a a change uh


uh


for the last nearly twenty years err, it's about the handphone mobile phone, the mobile phone already err change the world


mobile phone <mandarin>到现在:dao xian zai</mandarin> err five G coming, err rapidly very fast the five G the impact will be there


electronic vehicle and for norway they will be the first country to go fully EV on the road


err <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> whole err country I mean nation


because early on they already like thirty over percent so now by now they should hit forty percent, so by another five years, ah


uh, and all these ah <mandarin>他们也是会:ta men ye shi hui</mandarin> order lah, ah <mandarin>只是:zhi shi</mandarin> spending on those travelling


tourism will, uh eh aircraft company, ah, and even I I understand that in europe uh <mandarin>有很多的:you hen duo de</mandarin> airport hor


ha, ah, , , I I think they have to try to open because they need some business for the


the industry or else they will die off, so no choice they just want to you know try, maybe at a small scale first ah, then later on they see how then they open up more, ya


so the !ee! EV things is, uh in fact europe side will start first ah europe, uh two zero two five will be for norway, then after that spain, !huh!


you mean on the road ya all will be, uh no more those car with petrol already no more already, so


ya so in fact ya what you see is right lah so in fact in this world nothing is perfect, uh nothing is perfect okay EV they don't have so much uh pollution


but when they wanted to you know, !huh!


older cars or what ah you can see especially you go to some other country third world country


you can see, their vehicle when they move ah, ah the the the exhaust pipe !wah! it's horrible, ah, it's horrible you dare not stand near those vehicles !huh!, but EV is fine they they they are considered clean


but the the part is that err when they want to produce the electricity uh, uh <mandarin>那边就会造成:na bian jiu hui zao cheng</mandarin> uh, pollution, another pollution yes another problem that's why nothing is perfect lah


uh in fact, in fact err <mandarin>有些国家他们:you xie guo jia ta men</mandarin> err <mandarin>尽量用:jin liang yong</mandarin> solar, solar <mandarin>就不会不会造成:jiu bu hui bu hui zao cheng</mandarin> pollution uh <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> solar <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> absorb <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> heat from the sun then uh channel to electricity


ah <mandarin>就不会有有这种问题:jiu bu hui you you zhe zhong wen ti</mandarin> lah


ya it's very bad , you can see, ya you can see the the the pipe uh,


, ya <mandarin>就是它的:jiu shi ta de</mandarin> area ah, (hmm)


[orh] you mean what japan ah, world war two right, or tsunami


, , okay, , ,


err japan <mandarin>那个地方英文叫:na ge di fang ying wen jiao</mandarin> Sendai <mandarin>华语叫仙台:hua yu jiao xian tai</mandarin> uh ya it's quite bad yes, err


then, ah, but nuclear <mandarin>的会比较:de hui bi jiao</mandarin> err <mandarin>便宜:pian yi</mandarin> lah, the cost is cheaper


honestly I <mandarin>我对:wo dui</mandarin> nuclear <mandarin>的不是很了解我只知道:de bu shi hen liao jie wo zhi zhi dao</mandarin> it's err <mandarin>比较便宜:bi jiao pian yi</mandarin> lah <mandarin>它的:ta de</mandarin> cost lah, ah <mandarin>所以他们要:suo yi ta men yao</mandarin> go into deep to that ah, ah, hor because of the cost lah cheaper


ah, ah EV lah EV <mandarin>的话呢:de hua ne</mandarin> err <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> tesla is the number one ah, they have about eighteen percent of the


the world market lah EV and then second will be err, volkswagen, volkswagen is in second, uh then the third will be err BYD, from china lah BYD


then after that all those uh a lot of those major car auto, err maker ah they will follow by ah, ya, mercedes BMW, they are all into it even volvo, because all these err auto car automaker uh


all have to go into EV, if they not going to go to EV their company will die off, ya no choice they have to force themselves to, enter the, ya EV market


so in fact all these company for the past many years they already prepare themselves, they are into that already ya they are already into that, and the EV electronic vehicle the cost uh, when they want to manufacture one part of it the expensive part is will be the battery


battery, uh because EV vehicle they depends on battery, and, the only company that they make their own battery is uh now is uh tesla, tesla they are making their own battery


ah, uh the rest they don't make battery they only make the car then they buy the battery from someone else, uh buy the battery from someone else, then tesla the uh battery is all chargeable


and <mandarin>他的换:ta de huan</mandarin> battery <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> charges depends on <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> battery <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> consumption lah


uh


ah <mandarin>不像那个走汽油的车:bu xiang na ge zou qi you de che</mandarin> hor, uh <mandarin>这么多这么:zhe me duo zhe me</mandarin> complicated, that's why <mandarin>它跑起来会比较快:ta pao qi lai hui bi jiao kuai</mandarin> lah


ah, hundred percent it will last you for, around five hundred kilometre


or it ya ya you can that means it's quite quite bad quite far lah, five hundred kilometre is about somewhere from singapore to nearly Ipoh already, ah <mandarin>已经过了:yi jing guo le</mandarin> KL lah KL is about three hundred kilometre uh


okay so ya, not not not not to worry because down the road uh, ya down the road uh there will be, more, charging point coming up


ah, a lot of charging point going to come up, but for singapore !huh! singapore same thing


no no, those are self driving car it's another issue, !ee! EV <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> uh <mandarin>只是电动汽车而已你它是没有油了的它是靠:zhi shi dian dong qi che er yi ni ta shi mei you you le de ta shi kao</mandarin> battery


ah <mandarin>你根本不用驾你的车:ni gen ben bu yong jia ni de che</mandarin> you just programming like from, ah ah


uh <mandarin>没有你你要买:mei you ni ni yao mai</mandarin> tesla <mandarin>的车如果你没有讲你要买它的这个:de che ru guo ni mei you jiang ni yao mai ta de zhe ge</mandarin> auto driver ah


ah, , ah


yes but <mandarin>它们要开始做那种比较便宜的车:ta men yao kai shi zuo na zhong bi jiao pian yi de che</mandarin> lah, uh tesla <mandarin>已经开始要做比较便宜的车:yi jing kai shi yao zuo bi jiao pian yi de che</mandarin> lah, maybe like around, thirty thousand more economical <mandarin>车:che</mandarin> lah <mandarin>没有这样贵:mei you zhe yang gui</mandarin> lah


ah


ya, , I I I know for other company to challenge them


uh <mandarin>没有这样容易因为他们已经:mei you zhe yang rong yi yin wei ta men yi jing</mandarin> quite far ahead <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> lah, even for those you know luxury car like BMW, certain things they still cannot compete with uh tesla


still cannot, , some more tesla <mandarin>他们的工厂已经开到很多他们有开到:ta men de gong chang yi jing kai dao hen duo ta men you kai dao</mandarin> err europe <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> berlin, china Shanghai <mandarin>他们有:ta men you</mandarin> lah <mandarin>他们的:ta men de</mandarin> factory <mandarin>他们是叫做:ta men shi jiao zuo</mandarin> gigafactory, and it's ninety percent


automatic, ya ya of course they can save a lot of cost and then they don't worry about who err on MC who on annual leave manpower issue there's no manpower issue ya


ya they just want to make sure the machine is going smoothly that's all, ya


uh so it's not easy to balance up ya, it it it's going to be problem also


but machine <mandarin>有时候也是问题:you shi hou ye shi wen ti</mandarin> when the machine is all computerised so when the thing breakdown or what uh <mandarin>还是没有电的话:hai shi mei you dian de hua</mandarin> hor


ya, [ah]


okay, alright, okay, so, like, ya, alright chill okay so alright so let me tell you alright about the absolute nonsense right that my that my I team that I well not me okay it's just like my groupmates have been getting up to so it's really just with this one module okay so it's language and gender so you already know that there's a lot of space for nonsense in this module lah alright


then right what happened was this okay so actually the rest of my group very okay one, okay like they're really like dream team and all that to be fair it's like , five of us girls and one guy alright, then right <mandarin>然后:ran hou</mandarin> what happened was we all get together at meeting okay so we already agreed on everything okay we already agreed on the uh we like we already agreed on the like schedule the timeline everything right so I was like okay so by this saturday alright we all need to have our slides finished our script finished and then after that we can just do a screen recording via Zoom ah because I mean like <mandarin>比较容易:bi jiao rong yi</mandarin> what okay like that's really like the most like <mandarin>容易:rong yi</mandarin> method I know to get uh to in order to get a video up and going so


everything was fine okay so like five of the people basically us five girls all did fine, it was just the one guy okay so right what happened to him was that he turned up right, and his script wasn't even done


okay his slides weren't even done nothing was done okay just like nothing okay it was the most irritating thing ever and I and like my group mates were annoyed lah okay rightfully so I mean like I was also kind of annoyed but I was also too depressed to be like full blown annoyed so I had to revoke to like customer service voice to be like okay so let's


try to make the best of this situation why don't we all have just a dry run of the of like what we're planning to say so at least if we need to do any edits to the script or slide we can just do them now lah okay so see PC okay and then the guy so he's doing conclusion right conclusion is by right easiest part like you don't even need like but okay like ya lah part of conclusion is you do a short summary but you also supposed to like actually give the audience something to conclude upon lah and we had kind of settled upon the fact that this group of women that we were studying


were very comfortable in their identity and that the study that we were looking at is actually very good for providing an alternative viewpoint lah because all of us had been raised and born raised in a very like secular households so like very like not very religious lah basically


ah but these women that we were studying all they're actually very religious people so that so that so that's why it was actually very interesting it's like you know it's like you get to see the other side of the pond what's happening lah alright, and that so but right you know what he did


like he really like so seriously he just recapped the entirety of whatever the heck we were saying and then I think in an effort to be like you know hashtag creative you know what he did he decided to end off his with like a short poem I don't know if he was going for like <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> Haiku style or <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> free free verse style <mandarin>还是什么:hai shi shen me</mandarin> style lah okay I don't really know I don't really give a I don't really care alright


but, I looked at it right cause I actually didn't know it was a poem at first and then like I just look at it I was like my first thought was how come his font on the slides are so weird one it doesn't look like cause it wasn't like cause it was like


paragraphs like weirdly to me ya <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> I was just there like, what's this <mandarin>这什么东西来的:zhe shen me dong xi lai de</mandarin> and so that was actually a thing that happened okay so not only did that happen right but


okay at that meeting we agreed like on a new timeline which was that, we already cutting it quite close and I was already a bit uncomfortable with it because I do not like it when things are cut this close lah alright cause that was the saturday alright and then basically by the thursday alright we were supposed to do the submit by like like actually present the video that we had made to class itself which means that we had to be done on wednesday okay and since this is uni life and I do not trust the uni server to always be fully functional so


basically what ended up happening was like we had to come up with a slightly more cramped timeline lah you know thanks to this guy alright then we were like, okay so by sunday we need you to be done because he himself okay <mandarin>是他自己的他自己:shi ta zi ji de ta zi ji</mandarin> volunteer <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> okay <mandarin>他自己:ta zi ji</mandarin> volunteer <mandarin>去:qu</mandarin> beautify the slides <mandarin>做那个:zuo na ge</mandarin> syncing of the audio plus the video plus the <mandarin>全部东西:quan bu dong xi</mandarin> lah you know and then


so we were like okay if you really want to handle it can we won't stop you uh even though you still seem kind of overwhelmed with work on your end but okay lah fine lah you know you wanna do mah do lor and then we were like okay so by sunday we need you to at least show us the beautified slides okay by by tuesday we need to have you actually finish the video send all of us so that we can view and then by wednesday we need like by wednesday like morning we need to submit just in case got any like <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> delay <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> problem <mandarin>什么:shen me</mandarin> software issue <mandarin>全部:quan bu</mandarin> lah okay all this funny things okay at least can be settled you know what this genius did okay so right number one <mandarin>他自己说的他是一个:ta zi ji shuo de ta shi yi ge</mandarin> bad texter


like <mandarin>你是要等:ni shi yao deng</mandarin> roughly twenty four hours <mandarin>然后他才会:ran hou ta cai hui</mandarin> reply lah so <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> irritating <mandarin>的我不喜欢这些人:de wo bu xi huan zhe xie ren</mandarin> okay <mandarin>我真的不喜欢:wo zhen de bu xi huan</mandarin> so


so basically what ended up happening right for this genius is that, we already have to nag him lah a lot in the group like hi Rud you know is the presentation finished already you know can we view can we view yet are the slides done you know like hello please give us something to work with and he's the kind right <mandarin>他不会自己:ta bu hui zi ji</mandarin> text on the group one


, oh like cannot rush one lah you know <mandarin>如果我有自己的东西我不会变:ru guo wo you zi ji de dong xi wo bu hui bian</mandarin> distracted by <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> phone <mandarin>全部这些东西啦这些:quan bu zhe xie dong xi la zhe xie</mandarin> nonsense <mandarin>的啦:de la</mandarin> okay but <mandarin>这要但:zhe yao dan</mandarin> but


but uh basically so what happened was that this genius right okay so number one he obviously lah like from what I'm telling you he did not stick to the timeline okay so it ended up happening right I think that it was on wednesday the group had had enough of this nonsense okay so they were like okay never mind so <mandarin>我们自己做吧不用他我们自己做:wo men zi ji zuo ba bu yong ta wo men zi ji zuo</mandarin> okay because like really like is this is too irritating already lah all of us are too stressed okay nobody got time for this for this nonsense okay everybody got their own life everybody is just trying to survive through finals but we've got this clown over here who is insisting on biting off way more than he can chew and is not good with time management okay and that one is not our problem that's honestly his problem because <mandarin>我们我们有说过:wo men wo men you shuo guo</mandarin> okay like <mandarin>如果你需要我们的:ru guo ni xu yao wo men de</mandarin> uh <mandarin>如果你需要我们帮忙我我们会帮忙:ru guo ni xu yao wo men bang mang wo wo men hui bang mang</mandarin> lah like we also not that Jialat lah okay so


okay what so basically we were like okay never mind we don't use his slides because his one the only one that he gave us was in PDF format so it's not like we can use it in a recording anyway again so it's like never mind we do our own slides we because by right we already submitted our voice recordings all alright so except for him actually so all of us more or less had our voice recordings set up so


each one of us was supposed to have roughly three minutes-ish voice recordings because the video itself is only supposed to take max twenty minutes so ya lah like add like everyone like six people so #agak agak# like err three minutes-ish each okay so not too bad lah alright so like just in case anyone overshoot also we have that little bit of leeway alright


so we're all like syncing up the video putting it into one video file you know everything was going like not too badly, , until like we even messaged in the group like hi you know just submit your so just submit your voice recording right that's really all we need from you okay no need your slides no need anything just please submit your voice recording okay so


I don't know, if he didn't read or if he ignore or if he misunderstood something, okay but genius you know what he did, he sent over like his he sent over his


his finished slides he sent over his voice recording and was like okay I don't know what your problem is but like I finished the I finished the slides as promised


as if we should be as if we should <mandarin>感谢他:gan xie ta</mandarin> lah you know as in like you know so we were like Bruh one of the girls straight up lost it okay she was like, are you just unable to read you know she she was really like angsty raging she has no time for this nonsense okay and she really like lost it there and then and the guy was like


you know what whatever I'm too tired to argue with y'all I'm just gonna send these slides to the professor okay to show him that like as promised you know I got finish the slides and then we were like, Bruh can you please stop making this difficult for everyone like you're seriously just making it difficult for everyone


and, so so right genius okay so like that's what he does and like he luckily lah he also submit his voice recording but you know how long his voice recording is, guess


no worse I can deal if it's too short if it's too short I'll just come up with a new script his one right five minutes !wah! Jialat , like really like I don't know whether to cry or to laugh already ah <mandarin>要哭也不可以哭:yao ku ye bu ke yi ku</mandarin> I'm too dehydrated to <mandarin>哭:ku</mandarin> I already got other assignments I want to <mandarin>哭:ku</mandarin> over this one I <mandarin>哭:ku</mandarin> [orh] I'll die lah you know so I was like okay GG so I had to put it through an audio like an audio editing software to speed it up and pitch it down so that it'd be usable cause I also lazy to write new script lah okay I'm not gonna lie about that I lazy to write new script okay so


so we did so we did that we got it all into one functional video and then like we realized that, okay but if the guy right he sends his email to the prof we also don't know what he's gonna say in the email lah Sekali he be like boo hoo <mandarin>她们欺负我老师帮助我:ta men qi fu wo lao shi bang zhu wo</mandarin> you know <mandarin>我要做那个:wo yao zuo na ge</mandarin> slides <mandarin>她说她们不要的我你看我多可怜:ta shuo ta men bu yao de wo ni kan wo duo ke lian</mandarin> ah then I was like <mandarin>鸡蛋糕:ji dan gao</mandarin> no choice ah okay have to write in we also need to write email to prof so I made one one document one Google doc and then like everyone like typed up email alright sent to prof okay <mandarin>我们在那个:wo men zai na ge</mandarin> email <mandarin>有说过:you shuo guo</mandarin> okay <mandarin>不是这这是不是我们要欺负他也不是我们要你:bu shi zhe zhe shi bu shi wo men yao qi fu ta ye bu shi wo men yao ni</mandarin> deduct marks <mandarin>还是什么:hai shi shen me</mandarin> lah okay <mandarin>只是要告诉你:zhi shi yao gao su ni</mandarin> uh this is what happened


that's all okay, okay do you want me to exclude him from the group in like the marking rubric like why my one then we were like no no no no no no no like definitely like no that wasn't it we really just wanted to let you know and then I saw the prof's email then I was just like I bet right in his follow up email he will reply so what do you want me to do then


and then we waited right until like two and then like suddenly he sent back one email at like two AM and I was also like <mandarin>老师你:lao shi ni</mandarin> okay or not why are you awake at this time and then, we receive email


ya no like I thought I wouldn't have to deal with this nonsense after like secondary school and JC I was so wrong okay like, seriously I've never had a I can honestly say I've never had a single groupmate that was this much of a nightmare to deal with in my entire like life okay now all my uni all the rest of my uni groupmates are great okay usually I'm the one that's worried that I'm holding them back because sometimes like technically I don't know what to do something or I'm not as like knowledgeable about something or whatever lah


alright, but, this is really the first and like even in like secondary school if I need to take charge I will take charge okay JC


okay, but right ya this is really the first time I've had a groupmate that I wanted to take a slip by and just like smack him on the head because it was like bro why you like (ugh) so irritating okay ya so like how's it been going on your end lately cause you said you got drama you also want to share


ya no I mean like it's like story time but it's okay like they said like as long as it's like roughly equal it's like not so bad so as long as I'm not like lecturing you on like the principles of linguistics and <mandarin>这是一个:zhe shi yi ge</mandarin> reflexive <mandarin>这是一个:zhe shi yi ge</mandarin> pacifying <mandarin>什么东西这是一个:shen me dong xi zhe shi yi ge</mandarin> valence decreasing <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> construction okay


like, ya okay <mandarin>这是:zhe shi</mandarin> knowledge knowledge <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> exchanging


yes I am


okay okay I was worried that you were going to say like twenty minutes and I was like !whoa! that Gon be wild, okay


, okay, okay


meal <mandarin>吃得饱吗大哥:chi de bao ma da ge</mandarin> !walao! <mandarin>吃得饱吗:chi de bao ma</mandarin> !walao!


honesty <mandarin>就是那个:jiu shi na ge</mandarin> best policy <mandarin>了你问那个:le ni wen na ge</mandarin> uh <mandarin>你你问问:ni ni wen wen</mandarin> the girl <mandarin>她也说:ta ye shuo</mandarin> <mandarin>我们去上床你问:wo men qu shang chuang ni wen</mandarin> the guy <mandarin>他也说:ta ye shuo</mandarin>


yo <mandarin>我我能:wo wo neng</mandarin> get some <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> sometimes <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> honesty <mandarin>是那个:shi na ge</mandarin> best policy <mandarin>他是多笨蛋:ta shi duo ben dan</mandarin>


(hmm), I mean like I assume that we can because, they didn't say we can't


same I mean like the prompts are all quite uh, normal relatively normal normal type lah which is that like, oh if you had one wish you know what would you do or if there's one place you could see before you die where would it be <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> like very normal <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> primary school essay <mandarin>的这些:de zhe xie</mandarin> eh <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> prompts <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> lor


it's called I mean like, they're quite fun lah to talk about I guess if you want to get to know someone better, I personally look at them and I'm like, meh meh ya meh


that is honestly a whole mood it's just like if I had one wish right now, and uh you know I mean I doubt that I'll be able to save the world or anything in that one wish probably just be like


I want a wallet that has always, just enough plus a little bit extra


, it's like, I can teach you how to make three point five K in only seven days do you believe me


oh, another one I think they gave, let me see if I can remember any of them, there was one where it was like uh


if you could eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be


I like how when you have to think of something fancy your first thought was beetroots ,


you know I've eaten some before I don't know if I consider them fancy I didn't like it , , for me I think my default answer I usually give is like


pizza, ya because, I mean, cause you can put just about anything on a pizza that's the one number two it has carbs which I like, and it has cheese which I like


so as long so for me it has two things that I like and I can put anything else on top of it which would not be completely wrong and it's always something that's nice and warm and something that I've yet to get tired of so like my default answer is pizza


so but ya, generally people do give me either the salad or the usually it's like the salad answer lah either that or they will be like soup because like, they just like liquids they're like you can be hydrated plus you can get your nutrients plus there are all kinds of soup there's a vegetable puree soup the got the


well <mandarin>有很多:you hen duo</mandarin> soup <mandarin>的嘛所以他们喝得:de ma suo yi ta men he de</mandarin> ya <mandarin>喝不完:he bu wan</mandarin>


, okay for me right, I'm the kind that believes that, unless it's a pureed soup right, all kinds of soups are basically just tea, because it's all just you take things right


and then you put them into


I mean like <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> #bak kut teh# lah <mandarin>肉骨茶所以:rou gu cha suo yi</mandarin>


, actually this one is because I was I was watching some Youtube stuff and then I I came across this podcast and it was done by the crew of uh good mystical morning especially those who man the kitchen and then they were arguing that the sea is basically a soup


because, ya for me I found that just like a little bit disturbing I was just there like


ya so that's why that was just like that was just like a little bit disturbing that's going to make me put off like two trips to Langkawi and all that it's like puts my puts my feet in the water I'm washing my feet in soup


the the secret of life that that's why people that's why all cultures have some form of dumplings whether fried or steamed or whatever because


actually true ya our skin is the dumpling wrapper, yes


that's, actually it's true eh cause you bite the <mandarin>小笼包:xiao long bao</mandarin> that time you know all the soup come out if you bite a person right also the soup will the soup will also come out


true what , I mean ya I mean blood is technically soup it's eighty percent water plus some iron plus cells


you know it's just like it's basically sweet soup


I've discovered the secret of liquids


I mean technically yes but okay for me that's where like I that's where like the like I said venn diagrams a part of it is outside there right okay and that's like all the, fruits slash vegetable pureed kind of soups like soups in inverted commas because basically it's just vegetable mush


yes and no I consider though I consider it like in order for it to be, a soup you need to have a bit of extra water in it so like like it needs it needs to be able to like act like a liquid basically like if you've just mashed pumpkin


it won't really do the thing like the soup you know I won't be able to give you a bowl of pumpkin mash and convince you that hi this is pumpkin soup because it doesn't act like a soup


baby baby food is the pre is soup baby food is soup before water is added just need to add water


yes, you know what's the best part is that by right lah this thing is supposed to help train AI I don't know what it's supposed to train it to do I guess recognise singlish and chinese but like imagine like it just listen the AI I'm just imagining the AI listening to all this and being like


okay, questions his existence


<mandarin>对哦:dui o</mandarin> <mandarin>然后那个:ran hou na ge</mandarin> AI <mandarin>它变它变成一个很:ta bian ta bian cheng yi ge hen</mandarin> successful <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> restauranteur <mandarin>能:neng</mandarin> like


I mean like ya I like actually that was what I was gonna say I I was like that's like every kid's future dream right every time they're thinking like oh what's going to be in the future like number one on the list is always oh I will have a robot maid


it's an evolution of your desire but you still want a robot maid , right that's what I was going to say I was like when you're adult you're just like actually mine was just gonna be like I just want a robot that can figure out my taxes actually


ya but like you know no I I love how people though in the nineteen fifties and all that oh you know by the time


basically now the two thousands come we're gonna have flying cars and we're gonna have robot maids and we're gonna have super futuristic houses and now I'm just like well we are dying in poverty mostly because you guys kind of messed up the economy several times


ya so like


!wow! it's like ya people in nineteen fifties think of everything computers will be able to do computers nowadays


I mean oh ya like finally Cheato is out of office, he's marginally better marginally, ya


ya like I mean, like like I saw this Reddit picture that honestly summed up my feelings towards biden which was that, a C plus is better than an F, you know like you barely pass lah but like


like err


china <mandarin>不是不要欺负他们他是看:bu shi bu yao qi fu ta men ta shi kan</mandarin> trump <mandarin>是那么笨蛋他不要跟他说话了:shi na me ben dan ta bu yao gen ta shuo hua le</mandarin>


, no one thing though that my brother said that's actually quite true is that he is glad that trump is stupid because a stupid person, at the very least can only do so much harm


if you, ya but can you imagine if trump actually was smart, but still held the same beliefs


ya exactly so like that's just fit like the Trumpers kinda dumb not gone like then what ah so ya no nah I'm not I just saw and then the first thing I did was like I just texted my friends the americans like congrats Cheatos is out of office and they were like I know right


, ya I think people are most worried about two countries mainly in north korea and china, those those are those those are the main ones actually that people are worried about because like uh ya lah like that one that one friend of mine actually I I it's just like for me I just recently founded her political views lah I think if I found out early she wouldn't be wouldn't have been friends but like luckily we also don't talk politics much lah luckily she cause she saw her political views are quite different from mine she was like err ya so actually I how I found out cause she said biden is a disgrace of a catholic because he supports pro choice and I was like err where it's like you and


I know I was just like err, ya that was that was my face also don't really know how to I also don't like, ya no I didn't even bother telling her the whole like I'm pro life thing you know why are you pro choice thing you know then like it's actually quite interesting lah she said that if we go by poland standards basically rates of stuff like incest rape and all the actually went up when abortion was an option on the table I just like for me my opinion is always that


, you can take away the option of abortion that doesn't mean people are gonna stop doing it, they will just fine unsafe ways of doing it the reason why we are seeing inflated numbers now is because people can actually go to clinics when they go to the clinic to get an abortion then they can report what has led them to the circumstance otherwise the thing is that your numbers look low but actually it's just like artificially low it's just because it's not reported


(mmhmm),


I mean ya lah mean like that I mean like we can always like talk for longer like if you want lah it's not like fixed like must only be one hour worth of can actually talk for longer so, ya you know like ya lah no that's actually how I found out cause we were in the middle of morphology and syntax class and that's what that's what she blurted out because we were watching the US elections and how it was going then she was like biden is a disgrace of catholic because his pro choice and I was like girl ya no I just told her that like she was like okay you know if you want to argue safety and all that and I for me like my argument like even if you don't want is even if you want to bring in the whole sanctity of life I can honestly tell you if you bring in a child into our household where in which a mother is not ready to care for the child whether because of financial reasons family reasons life circumstance like whatever it is lah okay doesn't really matter


that child is going to have <mandarin>那么:na me</mandarin> like the mother's not ready to do it you know not all mothers snap into that mode of my child becomes the most precious thing to me you are setting up actually a lot of children for a life full of trauma a life full of parent possible neglect a life full of things that it basically's a slower death


, because like, because even like mothers who think that they're ready you know like they still mess up imagine if a mother isn't really you know and even then I will honestly say that


okay it's easy for us to kind of sit back and say and say things like oh they should have just used birth control you know it's very easy for us to sit back and say that but the thing is that you know like, I will say kids will be kids like you know if you are old enough to know about the act of of procreation you're old enough to know that you should probably use birth control


but like I'm at the same but at the same time for me it's just very much like, I also don't think it's fair lah you know cause like if like kids do dumb shit it's just like a fact of the matter you know kids do dumb


you know and like as and like it's easier for us to sit back and see them as a stranger but if it's someone who is like we actually know right, and like ya no and then like even and don't even get me started about possibly just like saying oh give up for adoption or whatever cause like


ya no we all know adoptions are many radical anywhere in the world, ya so anyway okay so you need to go soon also we'll probably need to go out go and find that and feed the cats soon as well okay oh I think we can end it here in I'm pretty sure we can do more than one submission if needed you can just like you know okay alright any who care thanks for thanks for chatting with me alright


nice chat, and end the recording


okay I guess I'll clap now, eh wait now we gotta put back our, earpiece


I'm going to guess twenty seconds


also I just realised ah, my audio's gonna be fifteen minutes of just silence, ya roughly equal


I then maybe it's my turn to you know give you a lecture on the basics of thermonuclear dynamics


yes yes definitely no ah so, ya honestly speaking , your group drama is like, damn it's it's gonna be nothing compared to mine you ready


okay so this happened in a span of maybe I I would say maybe like, several months


no oh unless uh oh that should be wild but no it this this happen over like the span of several months so okay so, I have this friend kay in from ITE, ya we play darts together


K and then the both of us actually went professional, in a sense, like ah so, this friend his name, shall be


DI I will name him DI, because technically that is his name but at the same time that's not his name, K and then DI got a girlfriend her name is I'm gonna call her lynn


okay, so so it's kind of confidential but not confidential cause that's their names but you know, so this this story starts when they started off dating K


so at first they were a really nice couple and all, like you can tell that, okay so


he actually, I think he was the one that confessed first, I I honestly still have no idea how they got together <mandarin>是很奇怪的他们的:shi hen qi guai de ta men de</mandarin> relationship


so , one day okay lynn calls me up, because she lives very near me


okay uh <mandarin>从她的家到我家:cong ta de jia dao wo jia</mandarin> right


she calls me and she's like eh dylan, are you free right now I'm like I mean ya I'm free I'm always free I got nothing better to do with my life so


in a sense, so I just went down to her K what I didn't think I would find would be her just sitting there just crying her eyes out and I'm like what is going on


so I go up to her I'm like, it's like she looks at me she's like, I don't know how to do this anymore <mandarin>我做不了啊不可以了不可以了:wo zuo bu liao a bu ke yi le bu ke yi le</mandarin> then I'm like what what is going on and she told me she's like oh DI has been like


bullying me and stuff I'm like what uh and then she's like ya DI his ego very big then I cannot take it and you know and she started just like complaining so I was like you know what let's go somewhere that has like


air-con and food because I'm gonna need these two things to continue the conversation, so what happened we went to a Kopitiam we spent the next three hours she is just sitting there ranting her ass to me just ranting out everything


and apparently their relationship has not been, very good, and so so I ask her lah okay then <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> right


then <mandarin>你不要分手可是你现在在:ni bu yao fen shou ke shi ni xian zai zai</mandarin> complain


that's a question there, so, nothing happens so so we kind of just like left the conversation there I just told her like !aiya! never mind lah I just I trust your judgement lah okay you you are you are in poly I'm in ITE you are way smarter than me so I'm gon trust your judgment


so like okay, I trust her judgment I decide to just leave it there okay, couple months later K their relationship is now in a very


weird state, because the two of them and me and my best friend Zul we actually hang out together as a group, and people keep thinking that I am lynn's boyfriend


because, I don't know, cause I like feed her and like share things with her, and it gets, it gets very weird because like


we actually did a photography, event to cover , the PAP macpherson's, thing I forget what it's called, and the person running for like


the macpherson place lah, so the head photographer like the person in charge of the media team was like wait who's eileen's boy who's lynn's boyfriend cause I know lynn's boyfriend is called, dylan but like there's two of you and like what what's going on


so uh, I'm over there just like, ah no no she she's not my girlfriend my girlfriend is somewhere else, she's this dude's girlfriend and then they he they look uh the head of media team looks at DI looks at eileen and then just goes


I'm over there just like what does that mean, so a couple months after this K lynn texts me on telegram and she goes


DY so she calls me DY and she calls her boyfriend DI so so it's like DY, so I'm like wait what


so apparently, they took a one week break from each other, kay and now she's just, over there just like don't know what to do


so I'm just like okay okay that's that's fine, okay, so up to now the drama is very minimal, ya, here's the good part now don't the good part okay this part okay didn't happen months ago it happened like a couple days ago think it happened on thursday


okay so thursday, she she called me down again I was with my friends okay so I I told my friends yo guys err, I I need to go see my other friend you know she


looks like shit's go it's like stuff is going down on her end and then they're like [orh] okay ah, then <mandarin>我们跟你去:wo men gen ni qu</mandarin> ah then I'm like ah okay [orh] can ah can ah so we cycle down to her area, okay


we we meet her there and it turns out she called us down here because, she found out that he's been, paying people for


special services, so we're over there just like, bro what so we found out that from his emails okay he has been having transactions obvious


special services we we I'll just put as special services for now cause I don't know how much of this is am I legally allowed to say so we find out that


has what in our service is called a friends with benefits, so, this friends with benefits right okay we we kind of stalked her a little bit you know we did some digging


you know, , kind of a, I wouldn't say


she sleep I wouldn't I would say she sleeps around with a lot of guys and so, I mean she willingly gave out her number to people online so like you know so I I decided right you know what (ppc)


I'm err, I will do something I haven't done in a while know ever since I became loyal to my girlfriend I decide to you know I decide to flirt around decide to get to the bottom of this the the hard way okay I I mean I definitely told my girlfriend about this so she knows


you know I I text her and be like yo what's up, like <mandarin>你有空吗:ni you kong ma</mandarin> like you know like


you know we we book a hotel and everything


and then I I look at lynn and lynn is like yup, so her boyfriend, is meeting this girl, at a hotel, he's picking her up from work and then the both of them are going to the hotel


lynn's boyfriend DI told lynn that, !hey! it's just a meal at this hotel that has this really good restaurant we are definitely not doing anything bad, you know we're just going out for meals she's my mentor and all that all that


I would say nonsense so, I text the girl and I'm like so, you meeting another dude tonight


you guys are meeting at the hotel definitely, confirm one hundred per cent, and she goes yes


so okay so that's that the next morning I decide you know what, let's text her again let's confirm K maybe she and you know maybe there was a miscommunication


maybe she thought they were going, to do it but they didn't like he didn't think they were going to do it, so I texted her I'm like yo what's up, did you get any last night


she goes, yes, and I'm just sitting there just like so this


and tell his girlfriend that, everything is all right and it's not cheating cause it's just going out with her for a meal I'm over here just like damn Bruh what the hell


so, me and my friends are sitting there staring at this tiny girl, and currently she's not even crying anymore she's pissed off like seriously pissed off, and we're just watching this girl


fuming and just trying to, get as much evidence of him cheating and doing like, inappropriate stuff and everything and she just gonna compile everything, and just one day just shove it all in his face and just like


we're breaking up and this is why and just bam so all of us are like you know we're waiting, we're waiting with popcorn, it's gonna be great, like when I heard it I was like !wah!


confirm exciting, confirm gonna be exciting as hell, are we eating popcorn <mandarin>就像看电影这样子坐在那边:jiu xiang kan dian ying zhe yang zi zuo zai na bian</mandarin> eat popcorn


so ya, so that's that's the that's the one drama that has been happening, in my life, and there's so many others


ya sia, that's, it it's horrible the fact that he actually cheated on his girlfriend and we had to like find it out the hard way


ya, ya sia, it's that is so stupid and not gonna lie right we didn't think it would work


confirm <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> ah


!wah!, ya sia, so like, are we allowed to actually talk about the project


ya, I actually don't know what we can talk about and what we can't talk about


ya very very cliche prompts


ya meh like I I would say the wish one though only having one wish I would say maybe, like


just, seven hundred million dollars maybe like five billion dollars drops into my bank account right now that would be my greatest wish


it would solve so many problems in my life right now


oh ya


oh


you are getting like a person's, average monthly salary ah in like one day, for like for like a part timer just open this five hundred dollars comes out open again another five hundred dollar comes out you do it for like what seven days you get three point you get like what three point five dollars you're you're earning a person's monthly pay in a week and all you have to do is open your wallet that would be amazing


oh ya <mandarin>那那个:na na ge</mandarin> e-commerce <mandarin>的东西:de dong xi</mandarin> right ya ya here are here are five


tricks that you didn't know that you could use to make money !wow! and then, ya and then you know how now Youtube has like the screaming the screaming ads you know the ads where they're like they like start screaming and then like a bunch of phone numbers pop out and you're like oh my god I got it and all that shit


so, me being me right, K since I'm a since I'm a you know I'm a curious idiot, I decided you know what I I'mma try, I'mma try I'mma go, press


you know the link I'm see what happens, not a lot of things happened one of the first things was, it got me into this, ah this


thing where I could have like this lesson uh this Zoom call lesson thing, I didn't go for it because one it was at ten thirty AM and I I do not wake up at ten thirty AM and


the other thing, uh was, it made me it gave me a free account, for an investment app for an investment website


and, you know what is the really strange thing, they actually have human connection, they have actually have human contacts it's not like AI and robots and like computers there was a legitimate person that called me from #kuala lumpur#


to ask me how much do I want to invest she called me and she was really really nice about it you know how like most like telemarketers they'll be like they will like drill you for everything they'll be like ah <mandarin>这是什么这这这:zhe shi shen me zhe zhe zhe</mandarin> but this one was really good she was actually fucking helpful


not gonna lie she called me she was like hi do you speak english and do you speak chinese which is which is more favorable for you sort of like oh I I speak english it's fine go on and she was like alright so you know we're gonna help you with our account she actually helped me with like the whole email the set-up and everything and then it got to the point where she asked me how much do you want to invest then I'm like okay how much can I invest and she told me oh there's a minimum investments or there's a minimum starting investment of two hundred and fifty dollars


you know what's the first thing that popped into my head, I don't have the money, this, poor lady spent ten minutes helping my ass


to find that, I don't have two hundred and fifty dollars in my bank account, I have like what thirty nine cents, so like but she was really helpful though like


peak customer service right there just the fact that the customer that she was helping happens to be a poor broke, national service


err, ya, was like [orh] <mandarin>她很棒:ta hen bang</mandarin> !wah! very kind very kind very good customer service just the fact that


you know my bank account has probably like what thirty nine cents currently it probably has like eleven cents I don't know how I spend, twenty cents but something happened


it's been a weird few days, so ya what's, what what's another thing what's another prompt that they gave


either salad or pie, ya


ya, you can technically you can technically put anything into a pie and call it a pie you know there's there's chicken pie there's beef pie there's pork pie there's shepherd's pie you know and then there's like dessert pies there's like blueberry pumpkin apple so like you know if I had the ability to just eat pie


why not then you know there's salad, what can go wrong with a good salad man I mean, you can there's an infinite number of number of possibilities for salad like you want to be poor just eat salad with dressing you wanna be really fancy they got like I don't know


beetroot salad with siberian pork and black truffle oil and a drizzle of I don't know super high-grade like olive oil it's like yuzu slices and stuff like that so you know salad is always you know


good option


I mean I I guess beetroot is fancy in like other countries not singapore also singapore


that's true wait does that make


does that mean that tomato juice is just soup


and then you just, ya you put them into boiling water


I mean <mandarin>也是没有差也是没有差别:ye shi mei you cha ye shi mei you cha bie</mandarin> mah


ya <mandarin>有肉骨茶啊可是:you rou gu cha a ke shi</mandarin> like, technically speaking, technically speaking


oh ah makes sense you know makes sense makes perfect sense to me, people the people listening to this are gonna get their mind blown like !whoa! vegetable vegetable soup and tea are the same thing he's not wrong


the sea is just a really big soup technically there's ingredients in water


the whale the blue whale is just another ingredient, ya


it's a soup wait the the question is right when it rains, and then the sun comes up, you know how the water like you know it evaporates right isn't it the same when you are like steaming something you put water and then you make it hot so that the water disappears we are all just we're all just #dim sum# maybe that's why maybe that's why we are chinese


because we're all just #dim sum# we're asian, so like you know there you go


ya because we are all dumplings we are all just dumplings, ya the ah our skin is the wrap and then like you know the the the things inside are like just ingredients you know


and and then like the sauce is our blood this is a very weird conversation , yes we are <mandarin>大笼包:da long bao</mandarin> I shall name my children <mandarin>王笼包:wang long bao</mandarin> and then they're gonna be like why did you name me after #dim sum# and I'm like we are all #dim sum# son


we are all #dim sum#, oh god


wrong soup but okay, that's a whole different soup man


so anything with water plus something is either soup or tea, ya it's like a crossover and then like the middle is just


herbal soup chinese herbal soup, yes, and and then people are gonna ask but what what what what does coffee and, like Milo and Horlicks and all these making up we're just like it's soup


it's water with ingredient, ya, you know the only difference is, the fact that the difference between tea and soup is, tea has vegetables


soup has more than vegetables, so technically speaking Milo is a soup, cause it has more than vegetables, yes ten outta ten


secret of liquid but technically wait wait, tomato is a fruit tomato when you blend it makes ketchup


correct, ya


ya that's true but what happens with pumpkins


pumpkin is a fruit, and when it, when you squish it down, does it just become pumpkin flavoured ketchup


ya that's true, ya


ya that's true it just looks like mashed pumpkin technically then it just looks like baby food


the question though is ya, yes so technically speaking if you add baby food to water, you get soup


ya that sound that sounds right


soup soup and tea are the same thing oh okay I


people skate


oh ya ya uh ya


then, restaurant owner


I mean <mandarin>它:ta</mandarin> he he needs hands to be able to cook food


ya ya ya definitely


just just just imagine, a robot, standing there just cooking then <mandarin>它是在唱歌:ta shi zai chang ge</mandarin> then <mandarin>他在唱:ta zai chang</mandarin> like <mandarin>不知道什么歌:bu zhi dao shen me ge</mandarin> kay you just see so so you just see like you you go into like a person's kitchen you just see like a small robot just like


fried rice one plate of fried rice is coming <mandarin>来来吃饭了:lai lai chi fan le</mandarin> and then you're over there just like wait what is is this is is is this the future


ya have a robot it it's like all all all children


will have oh I want a robot maid, and then, you will go and then as a teenager you'll be like oh I want a, I want a sexy robot man


ya, ya and then as an adult you are like I want a robot maid that can do my taxes


ya and then after that as a elderly member you are like I want a robot that can carry me up the stairs I can't walk them to get up any longer


ya I mean like there was like the great depression and everything, you know, and the fact that, you left our environment more or less screwed to the point where we can't do anything


I can use my computers to research for whether <P2>donald trump</P2> is broke or not


yes now it's, biden, slightly maybe like this much


yes definitely


you barely passed but you know at least you passed


this is like it's like they're just like you know trump you know it's like it's not like china doesn't wanna do trade with us cause you know we're like a bad country it's just the fact that our president is just shit


you know our president is just like a horrible man, like I I kind of don't want to do this and then you see like iran's like should should should should we just like keep giving them oil and they're like I I don't know man like he's pretty disrespectful to like you know my religion


but like I I guess I mean he is the president of the most powerful, you know country in the world like we can't do much about it and we're like ya that's true that's true


ya except that when you're the president of a country that harm


harm is pretty big not gonna lie, because, or he would actually do like stuff, yeah that's that's actually more terrifying


(uh huh)


i mean biden has mixed, there are, kind of a mix


ya mixed opinions on him a lot of people, cause, a lot of people realize that, you will know trump was an idiot, he does hold some power over other countries because he's charismatic enough


so the fact is essentially been keeping america, more or less quite say, from other countries, but other than biden is in office we have no idea what could happen


like world war three could actually start, north korea china, you know iran


catholic people are weird man


ya that's true


ya ya it is it's dirt just by trump on COVID the reason why america doesn't have is like decreasing


the COVID count is decreasing because they just stopped, and so ya I I think I think we should have enough


excuse me


ya the child's gonna have like all those a hell lot of mental health issues, going forward


ya that's true, (uh huh)


that's true kiss kiss to do dumb shit

!hais! and it's one of the smallest areas eh I I walk inside right then I just walk inside walk inside !wah! I I !wah!


but that one is small small you know it's like arguably the smallest in singapore eh, !haiya!, no it's a rock climbing gym lor


, it's like I think, the is the main issue is their height lor it's really short eh it's like, less than double my height so I step up one step up two step up three at the max height Liao so it's like limit lah


no it's because of the some of the cause because of it right <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> moves like <mandarin>比较难:bi jiao nan</mandarin> lor they have to make it harder, so it's not so straightforward they don't have so much space so now like some of the holes and all that are like hard to start lah


but I I I regret a bit lah but because of COVID right now all the gyms, everything is like they don't allow membership lor so you want to go there must pay twenty dollars flat, it's also very expensive


!haiya!, no no, rock climbing right I realised, got a lot of girls there so that's like one of the main reasons why I'm very interested in this sport it's like on youtube then I saw this girl rock climbing then I thought she very pretty she's from russia man (oo)


then I ask my friend bring me rock climbing, once in a while <mandarin>会看到:hui kan dao</mandarin> lor but I also Paiseh talk to them lah they maybe like <mandarin>她们开那个:ta men kai na ge</mandarin> work right then I will while they trying to figure out I also try a bit then <mandarin>她们:ta men</mandarin> like err come on come on then I oh okay okay

!wah! a bit Paiseh also, ya , you you


(mmhmm)


but how come <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> OC <mandarin>不知道可以:bu zhi dao ke yi</mandarin> extend ah,


[orh], but, I think <mandarin>你的机会比较高啊你:ni de ji hui bi jiao gao a ni</mandarin> two SG what so , ah


ah, (oo), like your your like appointment will still be the same what like you are just doing the same job


but quite cool lah but quite cool ah <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> regular Liao eh it's like, you see a one SG right <mandarin>是肯定是:shi ken ding shi</mandarin> regular, ya


!wah!, you, ,

ah,


[orh] they got the it starts from <mandarin>那个那个:na ge na ge</mandarin> push up right cannot do more than twenty all that nonsense, cannot hold it there


so now they are actually limiting the amount of pain you can give them lah, !aiya!


!wah! eh that's why I'm doing this lah I don't want to work , [orh]


so err


true lah true, but, a bit <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> like <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> eager to, get more <mandarin>钱:qian</mandarin> ah, true lah


true that, then <mandarin>你去:ni qu</mandarin> uni <mandarin>会要做什么:hui yao zuo shen me</mandarin> CCA ah,
