!wah! I miss those times leh !wah! <mandarin>真的是很久以前的事:zhen de shi hen jiu yi qian de shi</mandarin> but at eight years old have forty five followers eh ah <mandarin>还帮我朋友讲:hai bang wo peng you jiang</mandarin> err <mandarin>帮我朋友找多一点:bang wo peng you zhao duo yi dian</mandarin> follower <mandarin>在他的:zai ta de</mandarin> TikTok


oh my god <mandarin>我朋友给我看我真的是:wo peng you gei wo kan wo zhen de shi</mandarin> !wah! Tak Boleh Tahan ah


okay lah sometime is is nice to watch a bit lah but, actually is not good lah TikTok is like a lot of fake videos like it's just one one influencer like is like instagram influencer lor but a video version lor is like the new what what you call that ah Vine ah something like that


TikTok, cause many people thought made in china then <mandarin>然后那个:ran hou na ge</mandarin> america banned it !wah! actually <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> america cannot use TikTok ah is it


!wah!, !wah! <mandarin>这就是:zhe jiu shi</mandarin> Sibeh <mandarin>搞笑:gao xiao</mandarin> !wah! like, but now like they a lot of instagrammer !wah!, a lot a lot of people right actually they earn money through OnlyFans eh <mandarin>现在你懂:xian zai ni dong</mandarin> right


!wah!


!wah! like what the freak is that


you forget about it you must be uh have a pretty face or you must have a very ugly face then then you must be funny no lah actually is two condition lah either


!wah!, !wah! <mandarin>我现在是很想学:wo xian zai shi hen xiang xue</mandarin> piano eh <mandarin>早知道小时候乱乱学:zao zhi dao xiao shi hou luan luan xue</mandarin> piano but now is like a bit too late to learn piano, it's like, !wah! should have learn the piano skill when I'm in secondary school right


ah, !wah! shit, !aiya! <mandarin>真的是:zhen de shi</mandarin> might as well regret lah should have learn piano or some instrument lah


ya can hear, can


eh jeans, err long time no see how you how you been doing man


next sem ah <mandarin>我也不知道:wo ye bu zhi dao</mandarin> leh, I got I got so many choices like you cannot pick eh, and I also don't know whether I should take my specialisation next semester or,


I can choose,


err information security <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> information systems


you ask me, if you ask me I very bias lah cause I just think the the, results easier to get in <mandarin>所以:suo yi</mandarin> like when <mandarin>佳选那个不能来:jia xuan na ge bu neng lai</mandarin> com science <mandarin>就是去:jiu shi qu</mandarin> IS uh


ya but <mandarin>应该还是:ying gai hai shi</mandarin> bias ah <mandarin>但是:dan shi</mandarin> com science <mandarin>没有个:mei you ge</mandarin> biz analytics <mandarin>的部分:de bu fen</mandarin> uh


err, U town residences lah I mean <mandarin>这不不中:zhe bu bu zhong</mandarin> Liao but ya correct correct


it's just a place for us to stay ah <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> the reason we stay there is because, so it doesn't make sense for them to offer


activities on top of our varsity training ah


err, bucket list ah, I mean once this COVID thing ends ah I'm going to travel everywhere I'm going to go, korea


nowadays I keep watching all the stupid korean dramas ah !wah!, like !wah! <mandarin>留在新加坡真的是:liu zai xin jia po zhen de shi</mandarin> [sian] <mandarin>到要死:dao yao si</mandarin> sia ah


like <mandarin>你去不会:ni qu bu hui</mandarin> [sian] eh, how about you you I know you go to cambodia vietnam indonesia


shit I want go climb mountain also eh all your is damn is all your photos on instagram like damn sick


ya ya I go taiwan like seven times already, ya ya I went I went one week holiday I just went to taiwan, well but [ya] lah [ya] the thing is taiwan is damn big but most people only go like <mandarin>一小部分而已他们去:yi xiao bu fen er yi ta men qu</mandarin> Taipei then <mandarin>去华联去蓝:qu hua lian qu lan</mandarin> then they like they don't go to other parts of taiwan


so, actually if you really want to travel ah <mandarin>你去那个很很:ni qu na ge hen hen</mandarin> Ulu Ulu <mandarin>的地方:de di fang</mandarin> then, err the the north


actually got more stuff than people think ah, you, you only went taiwan you only went Taipei the last time you went right


but , I think whatever country you go you need to travel also ah no meh even you go like <mandarin>日本:ri ben</mandarin> then you need to take the the high speed rail then, Tokyo <mandarin>的也是没有东西做:de ye shi mei you dong xi zuo</mandarin> leh


it's not the same meh


ya I went japan like, it's actually, actually it's not bad I can see why it's a tourist destination but then, it's too touristy already lah to me


I mean I've only went the the the three most famous places the Tokyo Osaka and Kyoto


I think all the countries are roughly the same lah especially taiwan korea japan does you go the tourist place you just see tourist stuff you don't go tourist place then that's where the interesting stuff are but then


Hokkaido, no my friend went this place ah like in december is some frozen dam <mandarin>到在面超漂亮:dao zai mian chao piao liang</mandarin> lah <mandarin>全部都是雪都是冰:quan bu dou shi xue dou shi bing</mandarin> !wah!, I I no idea where is that that's the problem I need to ask him, it's a damn sick place


but you must travel to some damn Ulu part of japan to see this frozen dam, with glaciers and stuff I I don't know eh but is really damn pretty eh I wish I can go


but the right but ya it's I mean it's true lah but, then all the Ulu places <mandarin>要找要去哪里:yao zhao yao qu na li</mandarin> then


but I how was you went indonesia or vietnam or thailand right you went some


rural asia country recently how was it


ya I, eh y'all y'all really just go there without a plan ah y'all just like travel there then y'all decide on the spot, did you all do that


ya I always tell people that I want to climb, a big mountain like <mandarin>那种超大的:na zhong chao da de</mandarin> like everest or Annapurna, but then like everyone laugh at me quite sad


I ask people I keep asking people to climb Annapurna with me I tell them is a mountain with the highest fatalities but no one want to climb with me very sad


you will you climb or not this kind of mountains I think quite fun eh like you climb one week one, then you must carry oxygen tank up


err Annapurna, is part of the Himalayan range, A N N A P U R N A


P U R N A, A N N A P U R N A


is the ten highest mountain in the world, I think it's damn cool like !wah!


is that not the beer, the beer blanc or


ya I I don't mind sia <mandarin>但是那个:dan shi na ge</mandarin> europe <mandarin>超级贵:chao ji gui</mandarin> eh <mandarin>那个机票也一千多:na ge ji piao ye yi qian duo</mandarin> Liao


I think once you go above a certain altitude ah


and, ya it's just some damn long range of mountains then the range ah <mandarin>会有高有低有高有低:hui you gao you di you gao you di</mandarin> then Himalayas is just the highest point on the range


then got other high points ah they are called peaks all of them are mountains all can climb one, it's quite a lot lah my sister went there before like


no lah as in, err, the mountain reigns


err <mandarin>去到中国那种:qu dao zhong guo na zhong</mandarin> ah, wait you never take geography meh bro


you looking at the Annapurna or what, as in


but then like if you looking at the three days one ah the three days one is just like err, but then if you want to climb to the peak ah that one


so so ya we need to decide lah I mean I'm fine with both I think both are pretty fun


I mean, ya lah if you lazy to train we probably go the, ya both are fine lah,


but but the base camp alone ah which is the most common spot for tourists to climb to already took her like, one week to climb or at least five days lah


the base camp is so high already


err , I mean, anyway, worst case we can just go like the indonesia and


find the road the three day three day items the three day mountains, like, wait not even indonesia can go malaysia climb the mount Kinabalu


quite fun can ask him about it, maybe lah after after this COVID thing ends then, so


so how's your holidays going eugene


I only played like, ya I never played much lah, I mean, recently, he keep using your account do you know <mandarin>只有孩子再用你的:zhi you hai zi zai yong ni de</mandarin> short lives better the account


cause, ya


ya I played the new map yesterday it's called ice box, like keep getting lost only like it's quite confusing, actually, actually I never play with you at all right recently


uh


anime ah shows ah, the only show I watch recently is demon slayer or, especially the anime episode nineteen is damn good like !wah! <mandarin>超棒:chao bang</mandarin> ah


the soundtrack also damn sick, maybe, maybe you should watch it too


eh actually I I really like the last part eh but most people don't like it I think, like a very peaceful period where they explore the characters a bit more rather than just fighting


I think all animes need it lah but I don't know, what do you think


ya everyone waiting for season two, next year ah next year, I hope hope ah next year is going to be lit gonna have no more COVID restrictions gonna have like new anime coming out, then I can finally quit my CCA


this year was weird lah this year this year was weird, so eugene


I think is so much better eh, no meh like, in the day is so hot, and then at night so cooling then no one will distract you also


what do you think


then <mandarin>你为熬夜:ni wei ao ye</mandarin> then take the paper then go and sleep after that, my finals I got three papers are in the morning


so I did all three for that or I did this for all three papers then I no papers in the evening, so, but then now ah I still, now I sleep at around twelve


twelve AM, because I manage to, rotate my sleep cycle all the way, like, then <mandarin>明坏点:ming huai dian</mandarin> then <mandarin>十二点:shi er dian</mandarin> then <mandarin>一点两点三点:yi dian liang dian san dian</mandarin> then I slowly manage to rotate all my


wait do you understand


so you should try to tweak it so that you will wake up at seven


that's the secret I know lah I know every night every night I try to order food and I look at the price like what the heck so expensive <mandarin>今天那个:jin tian na ge</mandarin> Kimly dim sum ah delivery <mandarin>五块:wu kuai</mandarin> eh !walao! and the food not even nice so irritating !aiya!


ya lah, #fei xiong# #bak chor mee# then I will eat it cause it's the only thing that opens twenty four hours everything else closes


ya no choice lah very frustrating


he's in SUTD right <mandarin>为什么他的考试没有完我晕:wei shen me ta de kao shi mei you wan wo yun</mandarin> like NUS NTU <mandarin>都完:dou wan</mandarin> Liao


wait why didn't you go in the end I also thought about going lah but then when you look at school name right like <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> NUS compared to SUTD, I not so bold, to go to a lesser known school uh I always take the safer route


I mean, err, I am a very safe person lah like, whenever there's a risky choice and there's a less risky choice ah I will usually always pick the less risky choice so like when you compare NUS and SUTD


I mean, it's always a safer choice you will never go wrong like the government <mandarin>一定不会让:yi ding bu hui rang</mandarin> NUS fall into the wayside but then SUTD is another matter lah, I mean and of course you have the


the reputation of being singapore's national university, so just pick it lah I mean <mandarin>你刚才说:ni gang cai shuo</mandarin> the curriculum wise <mandarin>当然:dang ran</mandarin> ah, is always much more fun to do projects than study theory


but then, but then you can wait ah is


NUS will always be the safer pick here, and that's why I pick NUS also, ya lah but <mandarin>也是我度不大学度要死:ye shi wo du bu da xue du yao si</mandarin> so I will I will think about !wah!


I wish I could be doing something that I wanted to do instead of, ah this stupid mess, maybe lah maybe anyway, no time to regret our decision you just need to


graduate ASAP


err I mean, I in my experience right like, the mods can be divided, well the mods there's two parts for every mod one part is the the part that you put in a lot of effort and <mandarin>另外一个是:ling wai yi ge shi</mandarin> is the part that


you have to understand it, so some mods only got one side but, the mods that okay ah twenty thirty is only about, only about putting a lot effort


and that is the toughest part of any CS mods, ya I am not sure where I'm getting at this but it's just an observation lah like some mods you can score


by putting a lot of effort and not understand anything but then some mods you need to put in effort and understand, and I think CS mods the first few CS mods are all


then


cause, for some topics right if you understand the basics well, cause like, your foundation is so good right that you can expand your knowledge into everything single thing that it applies to without having to practice that much so you just yolo <mandarin>你去考试:ni qu kao shi</mandarin> then <mandarin>你觉得考试很容易但是你没有度很多还可以考得不错的生机:ni jue de kao shi hen rong yi dan shi ni mei you du hen duo hai ke yi kao de bu cuo de sheng ji</mandarin> is some people lah some people some people put in a lot of effort but they cannot score is just cause they don't understand the concepts well enough and they just keep doing practice paper <mandarin>但是你做很多考试:dan shi ni zuo hen duo kao shi</mandarin> also


that's the thing lah it's it's tough lah is you must try to let, people must understand why they're wrong, but then you cannot tell people that cause, they will feel like what they're doing is not right then, they will feel very sad that's why people transfer out of CS


is very common actually, yea !aiya! is dumb lah it's dumb just, screw uni change topic I don't want to talk about this topic already makes me feel very sad I want to transfer course also


which country, and the only reason I will choose korea is because I love their food I swear like korean food is the best <mandarin>超棒的:chao bang de</mandarin> like nothing will beat it


but it's not even close I eat so much korean food and it's not even fair and singapore's korean food is bad and I still eat it eh


the whole #tanjong pagar# stretch got a lot of korean food, they got like they got, they have like seven stores I think, and all of them are not bad so it's okay <mandarin>但是我最喜欢吃的是:dan shi wo zui xi huan chi de shi</mandarin> superstar K is a, it's a korean barbecue restaurant in #tanjong pagar# also


I think I know which one you are talking about lah is probably the beauty world <mandarin>第五:di wu</mandarin> row the


I know you are you have been taking a lot of photos and videos recently, how did you get started


what is the name of your videography business


that's really interesting eugene, so, err before the COVID thing happen right, got a lot of singaporean youtubers like <mandarin>那种:na zhong</mandarin> ryan sylvia


err, I think I can appreciate good photos I don't have the passion to go and search for


maybe ah maybe ah, so, other than videography what other hobbies do you have


oh ya I I been playing tchoukball for like what six years already, I honestly I I didn't even know about the sport I just join cause of cause I just join for fun eh


like I don't even know the team mates I didn't even know anybody like I just saw them training one day then I just decided to join


it's damn it's been so long already, honestly if I didn't join, a club or didn't join the CCA I probably will never have the self motivation to train as hard as you did like, like


then none of them will understand what the hell it is, and okay lah it's a very a very niche sport like no one really plays it


so okay lah but it's quite fun, it must be fun lah if not I would probably quit like four years ago, but


err I hope that this year, can I can take part I can represent NUS and compete in the, inter university competition and I can do well then <mandarin>我可以终于退休:wo ke yi zhong yu tui xiu</mandarin> Liao I can just like retire and quit then <mandarin>我不会玩了因为还最近我的膝盖一直很痛:wo bu hui wan le yin wei hai zui jin wo de xi gai yi zhi hen tong</mandarin> eh <mandarin>我跳的时候:wo tiao de shi hou</mandarin> ah !wah! <mandarin>超痛:chao tong</mandarin> eh then <mandarin>我每天都:wo mei tian dou</mandarin> like <mandarin>去年玩回回家放:qu nian wan hui hui jia fang</mandarin> salonpas then I will ice it


I think, I think I already wreck my knee already I don't think I can, continue play sports for much longer <mandarin>所以我我退休过后:suo yi wo wo tui xiu guo hou</mandarin> uh I will go and play chess


but I will do it next year next year watch me, so eugene, are you looking forward to your next two years in uni


the past semester I took the mod of software engineering, !wah! I tell you <mandarin>超难:chao nan</mandarin> eh like it's, it's so difficult to work as a team with people you don't know


like <mandarin>需要靠很多人的东西:xu yao kao hen duo ren de dong xi</mandarin> then <mandarin>要分工合作做些事:yao fen gong he zuo zuo xie shi</mandarin> that's why I want to do research I think that will be my main goal


research I will go into AI research, yes anyway, I think, I <mandarin>就只做工的时候:jiu zhi zuo gong de shi hou</mandarin> ah <mandarin>最重要是要找你:zui zhong yao shi yao zhao ni</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>希望做的事:xi wang zuo de shi</mandarin> [orh]


I will still be able to make a living no matter what cause I think the degree is quite Zai


so that the lowest paying job will be good enough, so, I don't know lah but maybe maybe I'm year two only so like my my thinking a bit wishful <mandarin>可能:ke neng</mandarin> like <mandarin>三年四年的时候我去做:san nian si nian de shi hou wo qu zuo</mandarin> intern <mandarin>的所我会发觉都应:de suo wo hui fa jue dou ying</mandarin> will a bit different from our imagination lah


anyway is is really quite hard to judge without much working experience, they treat me so nicely I don't understand I don't think people in the real world get treated so nicely maybe


maybe they are just nicer to interns so, I don't know lah internships are strange, NUS hasn't told me anything leh they don't they they don't say anything in the email they don't say anything in the mod selection <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> like they expect us to


!aiya! it's so frustrating and, not only that and is everybody else in the course ah is so impressive like, you will see <mandarin>人:ren</mandarin> like <mandarin>自已在:zi yi zai</mandarin> err <mandarin>最早:zui zao</mandarin> err <mandarin>公司:gong si</mandarin> then <mandarin>去只邀请他们:qu zhi yao qing ta men</mandarin> like how do they go and search for internship by themselves then <mandarin>他们还有自己:ta men hai you zi ji</mandarin> like the projects


and then, and it's so hard to compete nowadays, whatever lah I just ya <mandarin>毕业就可以:bi ye jiu ke yi</mandarin> [orh]


so eugene, err, err eugene, do you will you ever, quit coding to


go into videography full time


okay, can you hear me, okay


so what shall we talk about first


have been like doing video shoots and stuff , so next semester in NUS what are you gonna study


then <mandarin>这样:zhe yang</mandarin> isn't it like why why people go to IS cause there's also a IS course and uh, info security what like in computing why why people go com science


that's true okay , then <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> eh biz analytics also bias ah


(hmm) true, actually wait you are staying in NUS residences right, then over there like do y'all have like


alright, okay so what about you share some of your bucket lists like maybe like where you want to travel and all


really meh eh actually <mandarin>我去过台湾:wo qu guo tai wan</mandarin> eh but <mandarin>我是觉得是:wo shi jue de shi</mandarin> like, like there's not much things to do ah it's just night markets what like did you climb right this elephant mountain thing that time or or wait did you did you even go before


oh ya you you went during your your midterm right


no I I went other parts eh I also went to Kenting eh, but like I felt like <mandarin>是很难:shi hen nan</mandarin> like travel around like, because like I think like you have to take like the the train the speed high high high speed train which is like very


ya <mandarin>真的不方便:zhen de bu fang bian</mandarin> lor like especially when you travel from Taipei to Ken~ I don't think there is a there is a airplane that will like like <mandarin>在你:zai ni</mandarin> from singapore all the way to like the southern Taipei


like I think is you can only drop at Taipei which is, like <mandarin>不好:bu hao</mandarin> lah like very very inconvenient


wait, then have you even went to like Tokyo before like cause I I went Osaka I didn't go Tokyo but then like it's like <mandarin>我是:wo shi</mandarin> everything <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> standard lor like don't really have anything like unique


but I I feel like, out of the I think more of like err indonesia that kind like that there's more like mountain to climb which is I think more a more unique experience lah as in I think, ya like taiwan taiwan <mandarin>和:he</mandarin> uh <mandarin>韩国好像差不多一样:han guo hao xiang cha bu duo yi yang</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>我是觉得不是:wo shi jue de bu shi</mandarin> mah


if you are saying that then


eh can sia eh I legit want eh like not even kidding like I also like this kind like I think I I rather go to like these kinds of like uh <mandarin>必将没有人去了:bi jiang mei you ren qu le</mandarin> like, tourist tourist don't know about these kinds of places like I feel that like like I think more like got more experience lah cause if you are just gonna like on IG like everyone post <mandarin>一样东西:yi yang dong xi</mandarin> like <mandarin>有点:you dian</mandarin> boring ah like <mandarin>没有什么不一样:mei you shen me bu yi yang</mandarin> right


that's why I think like I prefer to go like those more Ulu places, ya which is true eh I think go find out eh then we can go after COVID I legit


uh


!wah! actually honestly that one not that bad but <mandarin>只是又一个问题:zhi shi you yi ge wen ti</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>超热:chao re</mandarin> like really damn hot lor like I think like, these kind of places like, must you need to go and find like the


err the more unique places lah like for example I went to vietnam then there's this place called Sapa, like <mandarin>那边:na bian</mandarin> like although is, in its a tropical country right it's just, very cold because it's very in a in a very high altitude


so what happen is that when we were at Sapa right, like there was this, like we we just touch down at Sapa then after that, err there's there was this lady that just came out and just like ask us like err whether <mandarin>我们是要人帮我们去那个爬爬山:wo men shi yao ren bang wo men qu na ge pa pa shan</mandarin> [orh] <mandarin>所以所以我们停了好像有点有点:suo yi suo yi wo men ting le hao xiang you dian you dian</mandarin> shock lor <mandarin>因为:yin wei</mandarin> like


like <mandarin>我们:wo men</mandarin> just check in <mandarin>我我们:wo wo men</mandarin> we we really didn't plan anything we the moment we reach there right we really we literally just,


uh actually we we, we did plan where we wanted to go but


oh there's this mountain I saw you know #sang jun#, ya he he actually climbed that mountain so like


like quite interesting is like you know those three day three day climbs, ya not like those one day one day like just hike up and and back down like those like <mandarin>这是:zhe shi</mandarin> like pack bag and then like err err


camp


bro you ask me I confirm go one like I I always been asking people but then nobody wanna go like like I feel like like <mandarin>去这种地方比较比较:qu zhe zhong di fang bi jiao bi jiao</mandarin> unique [orh] like there's more there's more like more experiences to share and capture like


what we wait sorry what's the name of that mountain you say just now I I want to google it lmao, how do you spell it


T U R N A, oh I search Annaturna I got like some picture of some some random woman on facebook wait, repeat repeat


!wah! I wanna go sia actually, like <mandarin>这种地方:zhe zhong di fang</mandarin> confirm need to train uh like <mandarin>每天去哪个:mei tian qu na ge</mandarin> gym <mandarin>做那个:zuo na ge</mandarin> stair climbing thing, then carry heavy weights, but this kind of thing confirm need train what isn't it isn't it oh this in nepal ah I thought this was in


!wah! this kind quite very interesting eh I actually wanted to go ah mont blanc

, bro I I've never taken geography I don't know this kind of stuff but sounds sounds lit I would definitely do it dude, wait let me I'm looking at the place !wah! actually damn nice eh !wah! <mandarin>好像要去:hao xiang yao qu</mandarin> sia


ya I think I think very interesting eh, like that must we like must we hire a tour guide or <mandarin>我们可以自己去:wo men ke yi zi ji qu</mandarin> or like


!wah! ya, ya I'm looking at Annapurna but ya I'm seeing them like like on horses, upper !wah!


err <mandarin>我什么都可以:wo shen me dou ke yi</mandarin> [orh], you decide I I feel I I think I just want to, experience lor like because, if we climb this <mandarin>一定要:yi ding yao</mandarin> camp <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> outdoors right

!wah! legit ah I the thing I was just I was just hoping like halfway while they're training some bad guy like jumps in and attacks them or something <mandarin>我觉得这样才会比较刺激:wo jue de zhe yang cai hui bi jiao ci ji</mandarin> [orh] that's how I feel ah, ya but okay lah honestly actually I felt like the movie the movie not bad it's just that it's just that like I I didn't know it was in such a small scope <mandarin>我以为还是会:wo yi wei hai shi hui</mandarin> like like <mandarin>有比较有比较多人:you bi jiao you bi jiao duo ren</mandarin> like


err, like you know the upper the upper six demons like err coming in and like, interfering ah but okay lah honestly the movie wasn't that wasn't wasn't that bad, I expected it to better but okay ah I mean

I sleep through the day [orh] and then like when I wake up it's like, like, it's like just very chill lor then like just watching shows and applying for interns and stuff lah, ya


ya I I mean like honestly like I feel like the afternoon's really damn hot that's why we just sleep through because, we if we stay awake we just sweat so is I'd rather just like sleep through the pain you know like recently it's damn hot I don't know why then after that only at evening right then like


then it's like very annoying ah, ya but like during exam like during exam period don't you have like papers at like six like like I don't know morning

I got there's there's too many things I'm craving to eat already lah but always cannot because of my sleep cycle, ya lor


!wah! when you talk about #fei xiong# right you suddenly remind me of marcus's house #bak chor mee#, !wah! I never meet meet up meet up with him very long


or like apparently <mandarin>他们是考试:ta men shi kao shi</mandarin> like some


US syllabus like, like <mandarin>我们是:wo men shi</mandarin> like first honour second honours <mandarin>他们是:ta men shi</mandarin> like cum laude <mandarin>这:zhe</mandarin> I don't know lah all these kind of weird weird names like they're following MIT


short like, it's all like brought forward so it's like, kind of a different time frame from other universities, ya and then !wah! actually SUTD very good if I could choose right I wanted to go SUTD but after that I didn't lah


actually I agree with that but then like err I felt that like more importantly is like the skills and like things that you apply like because at SUTD like directly focus a lot of projects right you there's more like freedom to like venture into like if you are doing startups like they'll fund you a lot then like they will also like let you like try <mandarin>很多:hen duo</mandarin> like <mandarin>自己要做的:zi ji yao zuo de</mandarin> projects lor <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> like err


err <mandarin>到我惊喜时候:dao wo jing xi shi hou</mandarin> like <mandarin>他们说:ta men shuo</mandarin> like


like, like ask me to go NUS instead of SUTD like like that's why like I think like although like, the school may like it'd be not bad like the the things they are teaching is good like I think like to the employers like they do have like this kind of sentiments towards those schools


like which is, the I rejected the the offer from them but in the end I also decided that I wanted to go NUS because err of hall ya which SUTD <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> lor


ya but honestly if I if I could choose in terms of like curriculum I'll feel that, SUTD <mandarin>真的是:zhen de shi</mandarin> like, but I mean <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> marcus <mandarin>他他进:ta ta jin</mandarin> SUTD <mandarin>但是他他他是也是很:dan shi ta ta ta shi ye shi hen</mandarin> stress [orh] <mandarin>因为是很多:yin wei shi hen duo</mandarin> project like err very very stressful like I


apparently like, it's an extra burden like the projects will add onto that curriculum which is like double work, ya I I don't think this happens in NUS lor so I think, ya actually you also wanted to go SUTD but why though


ya that's true that's true, like I mean like after like I feel like don't really regret also lah like quite quite fun lah, but I actually I, don't I I I would I feel like I would never step foot into com science cause like I feel like it's too


err, like for you like in like last sem you took like both of like CS twenty thirty and twenty forty right like isn't it very like


like I can't even handle like one CS twenty thirty module eh then I don't understand how you handle like that plus more CS mods


then you mention like !wah! CS twenty forty is like although like it requires more thinking and like also practicing then why why do we consider it like much easier


!wah! <mandarin>好像很辛苦:hao xiang hen xin ku</mandarin> eh that's why I will never ever be in CS dude I will confirm die, okay then what about, if you could choose one country to migrate to right, which would it be


oh I know wait did you what did you try this like


I I heard there's this err a korean korean restaurant in #bukit timah# forgot what's the name like you can search <mandarin>我记得:wo ji de</mandarin> like


oh do you mean like my like oh the business side like my videography business thing, oh err, don't really have a name about it lah but I think it's mainly just


err I think it just started with like travel videos like err <mandarin>三大十年前我就:san da shi nian qian wo jiu</mandarin> err <mandarin>出国时候就会:chu guo shi hou jiu hui</mandarin> like <mandarin>自己:zi ji</mandarin> err


take videos like with my phone, err try <mandarin>一下:yi xia</mandarin> lor <mandarin>学一下:xue yi xia</mandarin> then err


err on my first video like I think, it was I think it turned out pretty well lah like it was better than expected, so after I decided to like venture more into it and then err, err started trying to make commercials and stuff


like weddings and stuff so like, I think it's just started from just like pure interest lor


err I <mandarin>我真的是很不一样:wo zhen de shi hen bu yi yang</mandarin> eh <mandarin>因为他们做是好像:yin wei ta men zuo shi hao xiang</mandarin> vlogs, like, err talk into the camera and like, go and like uh entertain the camera <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> i'm too camera shy man but like I mean like err I think it depends lah I've seen like some pretty good [ones] where mostly are like err US lah those in US


wait I think NOC also had like, a pretty impressive like singapore travel video thing but, err I I think is different styles lah but, ya lor like why not you pick up videography


oh for me ah I like running I also like, err I actually signed up for like my first marathon, like and I also like I also like didn't really like


I didn't really plan for it I was just very inspired I think like when I when I started like running on my own I I felt like at peace so I wanted to challenge myself and like, like and the funniest thing was that I just signed up straight for forty two KM one so like I knew that err err while studying for A levels <mandarin>我也是要一边读书一边跑步所以:wo ye shi yao yi bian du shu yi bian pao bu suo yi</mandarin> I still remember like last time I was like during A level period right like


everyone was studying in reading room right so like I also studied there so like I would literally go there like like err <mandarin>七点八点到学校读书读到大概:qi dian ba dian dao xue xiao du shu du dao da gai</mandarin> err <mandarin>十十点十一点:shi shi dian shi yi dian</mandarin> uh when the sun is like damn hot or just like


go to to a track and like run like for like one hour sharp like consecutively, then like I just build a lifestyle from there lor then I still remember like the marathon was like err <mandarin>两:liang</mandarin> like two weeks after


err on my second on my second attempt of marathon like one year like a few months later like I actually hit a pretty good timing, ya so like I still remember that time when I was running my marathon <mandarin>真是:zhen shi</mandarin> like I I actually collapsed on my first marathon if you remember


ah <mandarin>不记得:bu ji de</mandarin> but is okay I think, we'll talk more about that another time err but, actually for you like, you you were in tchoukball right like like what made you get started


!wah! actually kind of I guess like uh, I kind of plan a bit , I'm not looking forward to next sem but I'm looking forward to year three cause I can finally get out of studying and like, uh explore like


uh more of the working world like


, a bit like I feel like I don't really I don't really want to keep on like


err, I think maybe err I'm looking forward to going into like the err fin analytics like a specialisation and like


try finding a bank lah ya and I I'm considering fintech I actually have a interview for like that like this week but I don't know whether I will get ya but


I I think like <mandarin>我我是不想要:wo wo shi bu xiang yao</mandarin> err, err err


that kind I I cannot make it lah like I feel like, err analytics I'm comfortable with it so like if you ask me to do something that is like err CS like like software engineering I think like it will be


quite, tough for me lor, so for you like what do you think like, do you you look for in a in a job out like maybe in your internship or when you graduate


[orh] on this I, I feel like I will definitely will not because it's very difficult to sustain in the videography industry especially in singapore, like maybe as a content creator yes but then as a as a videographer like like it's very difficult because err it's a very huge competition like like literally like literally


almost anyone out there right can do photography and videography even someone who has no like uh proper skill like theirs have a camera for fun even these kinds of people are offering like services so it's very difficult to like err stand out I guess it especially in singapore


but, I would say that like honestly if I would choose I'll definitely want to, err study something that is IT related lah like like analytics because


like


but after all I feel that err no matter, no matter where we go like err <mandarin>我们还是要:wo men hai shi yao</mandarin> err


consider quitting it rather than just like (err) trying to Tahan through it because (err)


hello can you hear me, hello ya can you hear me, okay okay


err, okay first question, if you have an if you have any unusual superpower what would it be, it's toughness


ah that's a good one, uh <mandarin>六六六十七:liu liu liu shi qi</mandarin> okay what, perfect weight


LOL, (uh huh) okay, okay ya eating eating anything and then you won't get fat ya that is my life so, uh,


uh, ya, like err


okay <mandarin>如果你可以:ru guo ni ke yi</mandarin> okay <mandarin>你知道那个:ni zhi dao na ge</mandarin> Marvel superhero is called err kitty pryde, her her her her superpower is err she can phase through walls so what that means is that she can like walk through anything


and then like err and then and then like in like <mandarin>他们的漫画:ta men de man hua</mandarin> hor is like very cool one she can like, she can like people like can like shoot her then she can like phase through the bullets, and then she can like punch them or like she can like go through them and then like take out their heart


yeah <mandarin>很很很:hen hen hen</mandarin> dark <mandarin>一下:yi xia</mandarin> but is very cool, so ya, and and and and plus if you can walk through anything and maybe if you are like invisible or something then that means that you can go to any area you


like like you can go anywhere you want so like it can be like area fifty-one or something and no one will know you know, so that will be pretty cool, ya


pretty OP ya, okay err should we do the next question, err if if humans no longer needed to work to survive what would we do


, do you want to go first,


, that that sounds like my life in army, I just uh, yeah of course, my army slack so


no but err but but honestly speaking I think, I think if humans no longer need to work to survive which uh I actually think it's a pretty real possibility


, then, err, I don't know I think people will start doing things that they love more, like <mandarin>他们可能:ta men ke neng</mandarin>


then <mandarin>他们会去:ta men hui qu</mandarin> take up like <mandarin>画画的:hua hua de</mandarin> course, err


yeah, ya, less stress


that is the that's a dream


maybe may maybe you will be like wall E you know, you know wall E like the, then they just sit inside the inside their own like personal vehicle


yes, that that's quite ya but that's quite a cynical view, but who knows who knows


yes, , err, ya I guess so, humans are all cynics yes


ah, ya, maybe that is communism, ya all hails and okay anyways let's


what is the one thing that you wish was free, in general, oh my


(uh huh)


food fighter , ya I was gonna say that


(mmhmm), there's a there's a <mandarin>问:wen</mandarin> there's a problem you know, if food were to be free then that means


environment will be bad cause everybody will be like oh <mandarin>我要吃牛肉:wo yao chi niu rou</mandarin> then then then then then beef is like, you know takes up a lot of carbon so it will be very bad for the environment


a'ah, okay, what is free ha, maybe


ya I think <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> food is a very good I I I think food is a very good option ya I think I will go with food also, (uh huh)


, okay, err, err okay


err, is there a <mandarin>我在想有没有好像:wo zai xiang you mei you hao xiang</mandarin> tax free <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> country, err, no communism isn't tax free no


what, totalitarian, no, they are like no they I'm pretty sure they have higher tax


socialist socialist okay I I might be wrong but socialist countries normally have higher taxes, cause they need more taxes to fund their their their their their their their programs


(mmhmm)


free stuff


, ya err okay, do you want to go first, okay go okay, err


err humans ah, maybe, it's either we destroy ourselves or like a meteorite strike earth or something


like how dinosaurs went extinct, (mmhmm)


err <mandarin>可是我觉得那个:ke shi wo jue de na ge</mandarin> like as a civilization we are quite err <mandarin>发达:fa da</mandarin> you know


like we are not like we are not in like medieval times where like where like diseases will completely kill us we are in the modern age you know of like where science is thriving so I think we are quite well equipped to deal with such challenges


ya,


ya <mandarin>这个是:zhe ge shi</mandarin> ah, yeah but it won't it won't make humans extinct I feel, it will threatened lives but it won't make us extinct


, uh ya <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> uh, ah ah ah ah ah, mutual assured destruction, ya I I I I I think that's a ya that is perhaps very plausible


uh


like they are not very obvious in the short term, like for example climate change, like in the short term like okay


like ya we slowly like the world the the earth is slowly getting warmer but it happens so gradually that err like if you live day by day you can't really notice much of a difference but if you live like but instead like if you live like if you compare like a decade by decade then perhaps the difference the difference is more pronounced


it's more obvious, futures you know, so like


ya, , tititainment, ya, so what tititainment means err short term gratification


they say humans humans humans, are very easy to fall prey to that, yes, ya by


and ya short term yes,


(hmm), I feel like, oh, I I definitely I definitely think


how big are otters, (mmhmm)


, like <mandarin>一个一个一个一个一个:yi ge yi ge yi ge yi ge yi ge</mandarin> horse isn't even that big, like it is big but it's not that big


and then otters are not scary, ah but but <mandarin>他们的他们的嘴巴他们的:ta men de ta men de zui ba ta men de</mandarin> teeth right


(uh huh), uh maybe, eh, but <mandarin>是一百次只:shi yi bai ci zhi</mandarin> leh like like you must think that hundred <mandarin>一百只是:yi bai zhi shi</mandarin> actually quite a lot


, err I think I think is horses are more vicious than otters I feel like otters are friendly


right <mandarin>我觉得我可以:wo jue de wo ke yi</mandarin> like tame <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> otter you know, I will have like, like a gigantic otter as like my pet, but but but but horses they're they're more scary you know


(uh huh), oh !wow!, , but but that would be cool


it's like so scary, SPCA singapore police animal


, (mmhmm), [orh] ah <mandarin>对对对很厉害很厉害:dui dui dui hen li hai hen li hai</mandarin> , okay, err ya but !aiya!, fair enough


ya true


that is true, oh !wow!, okay,


moving on, , err


I think <mandarin>鱼片米粉:yu pian mi fen</mandarin> is very nice, so I think I will go for that, comfort food is like


it's like, no, comfort food is like err, it's like your go to food, like like like the the food that


it will make you comfortable , ya, ya, (uh huh)


[orh] smart, but that's cheating, that's cheating, cause cause so many ingredients


but yeah it's a pretty good answer


, (uh huh)


but then where's the where's the <mandarin>青菜:qing cai</mandarin> coming from, okay


ya I guess so, err celery, broccoli broccoli juice


crazy, sounds terrible, !wah! err !wow! !wow! !wow!


of course, what what do you mean what do you mean who eats tomato skin you're so weird


taste like taste like <mandarin>纸:zhi</mandarin> you know, like plastic bag


okay, , okay <mandarin>我我我我我讲先:wo wo wo wo wo jiang xian</mandarin> okay


I'm like five foot three or four around there, err <mandarin>所以如果我是打篮球的我是:suo yi ru guo wo shi da lan qiu de wo shi</mandarin> professional <mandarin>篮球:lan qiu</mandarin> player and that will be pretty cool right


so that means that I will be like I I will be like the best basketball player that is super short, so so that that would be like is like <mandarin>很很:hen hen</mandarin> special you know


and then and and and and and and can you imagine I can like dunk as like a five foot three or five foot four person and I can like dunk over all those like two hundred meters meter players that that will be so cool


, [orh] two hundred metres , ah <mandarin>我讲错:wo jiang cuo</mandarin> two hundred CM two hundred meter


ya, ya lah but then, but then err it's more cool lah, to be able to


, ya, yup yup yup we are short man we are short, okay but don't know but you're taller than him what

cristiano ronaldo he is the highest paid athlete I think, I think he is the highest paid, [orh] cricket player


maybe, ohr no lah no way he is the highest paid, or maybe it might be it might be like some NBA player oh but no but NBA players they have a cap, there's a there's a limit ya


and then I don't I don't

so it would be <mandarin>有点浪费:you dian lang fei</mandarin> resources ya maybe but I think is not the worse


(mmhmm)


how about, (mmhmm), I feel like there will be like a very clever answer but I don't know


oh, I feel like I'll make , mosquitoes


like they are so annoying and then, and and I think mosquitoes are like the deadliest animals to humans, like malaria like zika virus like aedes mosquito it kill so many human beings


it pose a very serious threat to humans


ya, then we will have our straws


, gosh darn those turtles ya, burdensome

I know but I think what they are trying to achieve here is like the following okay like for example I'm trying to say <mandarin>这种东西:zhe zhong dong xi</mandarin> you get what you trying to say within a sentence they uh you can you can say <mandarin>比如:bi ru</mandarin> err <mandarin>苹果:ping guo</mandarin> ah or something you get what I'm trying to say like


okay ya it's just I notice cause you say the entire sentence all in <mandarin>华文:hua wen</mandarin> ah all in english so <mandarin>有点:you dian</mandarin> all the way so I just a bit worried for the what twenty to fifty percent is it


okay, okay I understand, okay I understand


okay so we just pick up where we left off lah okay, uh, just now we talk about US right I share with you what I experienced in US at the time


I was there for two years and then <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> err what do you call that when I went there honestly was quite tough because like err I didn't know even though it was all in english whatever whatever but then like I think that


err, when I entered the place like I have to <mandarin>一手包办:yi shou bao ban</mandarin> lah, err, then err rent <mandarin>买车:mai che</mandarin> then basically settling entirely setting up of a house by yourself that is empty ah


ya so, and then err I started to enjoy myself like on the weekends <mandarin>我会去那个沙滩那边:wo hui qu na ge sha tan na bian</mandarin> err to surf and things like that and


and then it became a lot easier like over there in florida was nice like on the weekends is really all yours like <mandarin>你可以去钓鱼去跑步:ni ke yi qu diao yu qu pao bu</mandarin> like at the beach there is really very nice and I think that err still got other things lah like what all the err <mandarin>去射枪啊:qu she qiang a</mandarin> my god


so nice, like you get to go and do whatever you want that's why that's the reason why I like america like you can do anything you want but not so much for the political landscape but but but I think the rest is really very nice ah like


uh, it's just a mix of everything, you have err all the food all the like standard household names Starbucks err


err it's a it's a process ah and it's always very fun and everything releases in uh the america err faster than <mandarin>其他的国家:qi ta de guo jia</mandarin> so I think that's a that's a plus point of america you always living in the the first the first few people kind of mentality


ya, and err there was once I went to to utah, the place have a ski area they're really very nice and then err


ya so it's really very pristine really very err soft and then err when you fall is not so not so <mandarin>痛:tong</mandarin> ah in that sense lah


I see ya so, no that's not the only place that I went to go and do skiing that time I did this korea trip, at the moment I land right like I only have twenty four hours in the country so at night right


then <mandarin>我直接去那个:wo zhi jie qu na ge</mandarin> counter eh <mandarin>我都还没有上去:wo dou hai mei you shang qu</mandarin> the room and then err I straight away went to the counter and ask <mandarin>明天有有滑雪也可以做吗因为:ming tian you you hua xue ye ke yi zuo ma yin wei</mandarin> it was really just like err


!wah! <mandarin>很急啊:hen ji a</mandarin> , ya it's really quite err insane lah like that was one of the <mandarin>比较疯的:bi jiao feng de</mandarin> trip like err really I went by myself also so the kids the ski resort really quite fun


when I go there and err, what do you call that when I go there err it was really, a small hill, but this small hill they have you know you can you imagine having err Kimchi soup


and then err <mandarin>真的很:zhen de hen</mandarin> like it's really very cold and uh and then err you just have a <mandarin>一碗热腾腾的一个汤:yi wan re teng teng de yi ge tang</mandarin> you know


ya, so that was what I experienced then ah and everything was in korean !wah! that time when I went to go and do my perm in korea as well


this is the this is the norm lah everybody in korea or speak korean and not <mandarin>华文:hua wen</mandarin> or english you see so it's very specific


even if I point the picture to them like I wanted to tell them <mandarin>有点东西要换:you dian dong xi yao huan</mandarin> but then <mandarin>他们有他们真的不懂:ta men you ta men zhen de bu dong</mandarin> like <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> like what am I talking about lah basically then after that you got that the lady so kind help me


the moment perm and then !wah! <mandarin>真的好像:zhen de hao xiang</mandarin> poodle ah you know that kind of dog poodle oh my god so bad like I come out already I'm like I'm just another korean err Oppa


(hmm), actually you I got one thing I want to ask you always like how how the hell do you put on contacts like it's not easy to put on contacts right <mandarin>一一定很痛:yi yi ding hen tong</mandarin> mah


that's not true


okay then, when you open and close your eyes <mandarin>不会痛:bu hui tong</mandarin> meh it's just like <mandarin>有一个东西在那边:you yi ge dong xi zai na bian</mandarin> it's really very weird mah, isn't it very weird like I when I open and close my eyes if got there I tell you I confirm <mandarin>会:hui</mandarin> #zhui wa ma jiu# one


I don't care lah is


I see


okay then I guess I'm, then I guess I am lucky I'm lucky that my eyesight is is is is okay


it's not it's not it's not my cup of tea err I I will never ever do it if I have to wear glasses I will wear glasses I don't care


okay that's very true, !wah! speaking of pilot I have a story to share with you like that time


that time err there was this one guy ah his name is also jordan and he he he went on one of the flight so typically we all have this thing called the airsick bag so when we hold airsick bag and then we go on a flight right err if we <mandarin>好像要吐这样:hao xiang yao tu zhe yang</mandarin> err you can <mandarin>吐:tu</mandarin> inside lah and then err at the end of the flight then you just throw it away so this guy he <mandarin>忘记:wang ji</mandarin> to <mandarin>带他的:dai ta de</mandarin> so err <mandarin>忘记:wang ji</mandarin> to <mandarin>带那个:dai na ge</mandarin> bag lah basically and then inside the flight he wanted to <mandarin>呕吐:ou tu</mandarin> and then err


he got nowhere to vomit, so you know what the instructor told him, the instructor told him take out your glove and puke inside


ya, so <mandarin>他真的把:ta zhen de ba</mandarin> the glove take out and then like just inside and, he die and then at the end of the flight he throw the glove away, so damn funny ah this is one of the stories that oh my god damn funny this guy a bit weird one lah like


like err he will like we all live in the dorm mah so inside the dorm we are just next to each other in the rooms so err we have this common area that we walked out to and and we have our meals there lah


and then err, uh this guy we wanted Jio him to go out then we knock on the door, and then err we knock on the door and then actually we didn't even knock lah his door was half open I think he forget to close or what then he was like half naked in the room and not top top half ah is bottom half naked in a room walking around


so we all saw like three of us was at the door and then <mandarin>他开门:ta kai men</mandarin> so we saw everything


is the EQ really very weird


let them be ah okay lah


ya for sure, there's a lot of err misrepresentation in this case ah like


all of them are liars ah , like err got this


they're all liars lah that time my ex that time my ex-girlfriend that time she err, it's not that she err <mandarin>刻意要去:ke yi yao qu</mandarin> bluff me but I think she just trying to you know impress and like she said that she very sporty do err do yoga then err on the weekend <mandarin>去跑步那种:qu pao bu na zhong</mandarin> but at the end of the day she's just she's just very lazy lah at a she everytime stay at home never really will do things other than exercising and when I ask her to go and do err rock climbing with me <mandarin>她就会讲:ta jiu hui jiang</mandarin> like !aiya! no time or like not feeling well


and err I feel very cheated lah at the end of the day <mandarin>到头来:dao tou lai</mandarin> it's really very like err what the hell so what are you trying to do here like are you trying to, are you trying like be in a relationship or <mandarin>你在那边:ni zai na bian</mandarin> just <mandarin>要:yao</mandarin> <Z> try to be be just the err the image that you want to portray to me that's all so


I see I see, ya I know I know <mandarin>真的是:zhen de shi</mandarin> like, !aiya! relationship is a very <mandarin>困难的东西:kun nan de dong xi</mandarin> lah you don't really know like what you're getting into until you're into it you know


(hmm) I understand, okay


okay, so, ya lah, okay never mind err so how do we end this, okay so I just hit safer


okay okay


your side, okay you can start, and start conversation


alright, so yes jordan what do you want to talk about


ya christmas is coming soon


and you leh


oh oh <mandarin>我记得:wo ji de</mandarin> yes ya I recall that


actually I don't need anything from, ya


oh you mean <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> Christmas Wonderland in the Gardens by the Bay


ya that's a that's a very good idea I might go with errto winter wonderland to check out the place


ya that sounds good as long as <mandarin>我还没有开始做工:wo hai mei you kai shi zuo gong</mandarin> it's I I do think so it's pretty pretty fine to tag along to go to the gym


ya that's very true like when I have a like when I start my work have work every day so it would be much more convenient to plan out cause err everything's scheduled, ya that's that's good


aim aim of the shop trying to learning something to be a gemologists you know try to do my best in a shop try to create some fond memories when I'm there try to create network so ya part of it you know <mandarin>就是这样子就是要想想看:jiu shi zhe yang zi jiu shi yao xiang xiang kan</mandarin> what's the difference between my current job at that particular job that I'm going into


ya so that's the whole story of trying to get out from here but ya I mean like now that I have job I think it's pretty fine


in which way do you mean, well malaysia itself is not so systematic it's not so organized in a lot of things but lifestyle is pretty much more less stressful less intriguing much more challenges and well different kind of freedom like I said singapore it's organized and it's easy access using you know err MRT to public transport buses and all but malaysia is just not bad malaysia everyone owns a car go around by a car <mandarin>可以去自去那就哪里都可以去那一种的感觉就:ke yi qu zi qu na jiu na li dou ke yi qu na yi zhong de gan jue jiu</mandarin> ya and makes it a little more much more freedom in that sense to have a car to go around like you don't you have you don't have to be bound by an mrt scheduled time what is the last train that is leaving from town back to back to your place or even the last bus it's not so bounded but ya other than that I mean that's the different kind of freedom that you get from each places


ah ha that one ya <mandarin>太多了:tai duo le</mandarin> can can't even can't even actually count


ya you can say that


depending on what you wanna eat there's a lot of different food lah I mean like in malaysia itself there's actually, okay


ah okay, well there's a lot of good food I you get very good duck egg #char kway teow# in #pulau tikus# err night market and then you get afternoon time you get nice err #mee siam# from Bangkok lane ya I mean like depending on what you want to eat there's a lot of err different kind of food that is available in Penang that is pretty yummy and tasty I do think so that most of the stores suggest by the corner any streets like any err <mandarin>档口:dang kou</mandarin> you want to go in and just grab a food all the food is pretty much nicer to me I guess comparing to singapore itself is hard to know find a nicer ones in singapore but in Penang it's actually just all around the corner <mandarin>就是在旁边都会有一间走了在路边都会有一间:jiu shi zai pang bian dou hui you yi jian zou le zai lu bian dou hui you yi jian</mandarin> those kind of food you know


well the Kovan one is pretty damn good I mean like the taste is very err very aromatic very flavourful the the tastes of the you know the is very ya the #Wok Hei# is there and ya it's very Umami in that sense ya that's very good


ah I see I mean like (hmm) well journey for the adventure for food is all there, it's much, ya well much easier for you guys cause you guys can go around by bikes you know so ya it's pretty convenient for you guys to travel out and go around to eat different kind of food but it's a bit hard for us ya I have to go around walk around take MRT take buses you know change buses can be a bit of a little bit more troublesome than usual you know


well not looking forward for our industry to get better but ya hoping for other industry to get better or at least the industry that I am in it's getting better because the current one that we are in is definitely not gonna make any changes much I mean like ya how can flights be improved in aviation industry now it's not gonna be so ya it's gonna be a hell of a recovery years so it takes a little longer time for everyone to recover especially in the airlines itself with all the restriction of traveling in the air travel bubble burst and all these things it's gonna take a while for everything to get better ya so not looking forward but looking forward for some recovery


(mmhmm) ya


well I get what you mean


well that's very true but ya looking at this like this this current situation is pretty hard I mean like you just lucky that you get that particular job but ya it's not everyone get paid at the same price like ya five thousand is definitely more comfortable living than the rest of the people three to four yes it's survivable very survivable with it too going anything below three it's it's a little harder to survive especially when you're at two or more or less two two K it's actually quite impossible so live in a better condition better life but ya you could but a later more saving you know a little bit more err to you know a lot of things have to probably do a lot of err saving of cash back or this kind of things to you know help you go through your life but ya I mean the the job is good the one that you found is five thousand monthly salary basic average salary so that's very very good I mean like on top of that you still get commission you still earn <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> err bonus and all these things so ya I think it's a good choice and very good that you found one job that you can actually do


well I think if they can make it they will make it because of course there's not much day left that's about nineteen days to end the month nineteen to twenty there is so ya I mean like (hmm) depending on how the process go would they do it fast or would they do it slow so if they are actually doing it pretty quick then I do think so it's quite okay


ya I mean <mandarin>顺其自然:shun qi zi ran</mandarin> ah go with the flow itself there's no point worrying things that are meant to be yours or not meant to be yours just an extra stress in your life so ya <mandarin>顺其自然:shun qi zi ran</mandarin> is the word that I I do think is properly used this way


ah okay


(mmhmm)


(hmm) I see I mean like why why didn't they take up the bike even when they offer a higher price like I mean why didn't you take up the


so ya you are trying to bait for uh you're trying to bait for a higher price you know for your bike (hmm) hopefully the people don't run away so that's the part where you have to be worried about but ya I mean like if they if that happens then that happens more choice given anyway


you mean like err depends and talk about job, so


ya, it's okay don't have to, it's okay just assume it's me since the whole house thinks it's me so there's no problem with it I don't really care


oh well but ya somebody insisted that it was me so ya let it be that it was me let let it assumed that it was me I don't really care actually because what if it's dirty then I'll just clean it doesn't matter that's no point fighting over each other to say who actually dirties it up who actually cleans it up you know just clean it if you see it I mean you're gonna use it too so what does it matters so ya I mean I don't really care


ya I mean like for now for now for the time being me myself for the job I'm actually not so sure would I mean like they did apply for me but whether would I get like an approval or not will I get selected is uh also like a different story since it has been going on for weeks already so
