rural, ya it's more of the rural areas ya, feel that it's quite err it's quite interesting, ya cannot find one cause it's like, err very very little people go there also but it's quite cool lah


cause like got kampung spirit, to to explore a bit right


ya now, then err ya lah so err, so have you watched any movies recently


ya recently, (uh huh) what's the what's the name


oh oh oh this though


never but I I saw I saw the thing before is it scary or not


(uh huh), okay, ya like like like like us teenagers lah <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> like <mandarin>新加坡我们全部都是这样的:xin jia po wo men quan bu dou shi zhe yang de</mandarin> mah


(uh huh) then,


there's zombies, so it's like <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> lah, (mmhmm), okay


(uh huh), oh


ya, okay


okay


TV, or it's like, like discord is it called discord


(mmhmm), (mmhmm)


oh no, okay, oh the the zombie can talk


(uh huh), (uh huh)


, (uh huh)


!wah!, what so, (uh huh)


something like that right, , ya I did I watched have you watched


so basically ah <mandarin>这个是:zhe ge shi</mandarin> eh ah <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> full like their family ya like <mandarin>他父母跟他女儿这是去:ta fu mu gen ta nv er zhe shi qu</mandarin> the train lah then <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> in the at the movie ah the <mandarin>爸爸跟女儿就是去要去要去到:ba ba gen nv er jiu shi qu yao qu yao qu dao</mandarin> Busan


I think err Busan is in korea, ya it's a korean film also so err they they go to the train and then err they want to like go to Busan lah but along the way hor <mandarin>其实他们看到:qi shi ta men kan dao</mandarin> zombie <mandarin>在:zai</mandarin> train <mandarin>里面:li mian</mandarin> infected already


so the whole movie is about them trying to escape, like not get not die lah in a sense


ya, ya <mandarin>但是有很多觉得:dan shi you hen duo jue de</mandarin> train hor <mandarin>你可以你可以:ni ke yi ni ke yi</mandarin> like trap them in one area what you don't have to like


uh like they cannot run about you know right you get what I mean <mandarin>他们不可以乱乱跑:ta men bu ke yi luan luan pao</mandarin> and, ya that's why I mean but if you are trapped in the train then if you like manage to get one compartment to yourself you can pretty much live out


for the like the week or so, until like err the <mandarin>事情烧:shi qing shao</mandarin> or something to help you lah the army people, ya, but I feel like


ya this kind of things do you like horror movies, I think <mandarin>这些戏都是不错的:zhe xie xi dou shi bu cuo de</mandarin> like it gets you on your like nerve and like thrills lah


ya, but I think <mandarin>这些:zhe xie</mandarin> ghosts and spirit hor like doesn't really affect me that much <mandarin>因为这些鬼的东西就是你相信你就你就他们就会出现你不相信他们就不会出现:yin wei zhe xie gui de dong xi jiu shi ni xiang xin ni jiu ni jiu ta men jiu hui chu xian ni bu xiang xin ta men jiu bu hui chu xian</mandarin> this kind of thing


ya ya I feel like, if you don't think about don't care about them nothing will happen to you, but <mandarin>就是不要:jiu shi bu yao</mandarin> don't disrespect them lah, ya cause everything deserves to be respected, ya what about you


, (uh huh), uh <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> say <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> say


(uh huh)


(mmhmm)


!chey!, but but wait why why on the bed, (uh huh)


ya it cannot, oh so it's impossible to move ya,


(uh huh), !wah!, so they put CCTV everywhere in the room lah ya lah just to make sure


ya ya ya, but like nobody can can touch this in a sense


like it's too heavy


ya I get, ya ya


ya ya ya I I know you mean black magic ya,


oh so their house is like like a bungalow is it, oh


ya lah ya of course lah, (mmhmm)


ah


, what what kind of wait but kris <mandarin>他们是:ta men shi</mandarin> christian or like like buddhist or what or what religion are they, (uh huh), oh so it's like like priest lah but


, oh


ya lah, ya lah definitely


pray !wah! then, oh, ya that's true so, so black the the black magic the the the neighbour right <mandarin>是真的是会的:shi zhen de shi hui de</mandarin> lah it's not like fake black magic it's actually like real


well ya lah that's true lah that's true, !wah! !wah! Heng this story right, ya lah actually this story right, like I also feel like, maybe sometimes hor you have to respect your neighbours then


but ya lah very quite scary lah honestly, people, err okay lah mean I also got this this very similar experience lah


so like, err last time when I was err when I was a kid, then err <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> err <mandarin>我我小的时候:wo wo xiao de shi hou</mandarin> then <mandarin>我住在另外一个屋子:wo zhu zai ling wai yi ge wu zi</mandarin> lah <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> like it's not here, then


I I'm not sure if you heard of it slightly is like Changi area one


ya that's, Changi <mandarin>和:he</mandarin> put like <mandarin>不懂什么:bu dong shen me</mandarin> de lah but but my neighbours we told him that Changi is like where the world war happen, ya, so , ya the world war then like when japanese all died is at hall at Changi mah


ya, I'm not sure about but, but ya then err so when I was younger like err in the house ah I oh sure like marbles is dropping


outside ya, then err outside how our here like a lot of like, footsteps everytime like the HDB <mandarin>怎么:zen me</mandarin> status then they will be a lot of different footsteps, ya


then err, it's always like at night at night one, cause you know in the morning there the the sun so I don't think, people will be more lah


the ghost lah in the sense will be more more scared, a to come out in the morning, ya, ya then err


ya lah so I just ignore and nobody <mandarin>晚上:wan shang</mandarin> but never pay thought of it until you told me, so uh ya now that I think back thing back about it was quite scared, ya so what do you like


(mmhmm), so like I assume that you like or his horror stuff lah


is quite interesting ya, so err I heard this story <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> like this hor cause I also like you ah there I read a lot of horror things so have you heard of , the distort this teaching got abandoned disney


ya ya ya


ya that's why, so uh, these are event, so these abandoned this new thing is like, err basically this disneyland like it is very famous around the world, but the nearest point is at hong kong actually


ya so basically this disneyland, it was it was abandoned by by this new, then uh, err basically this explorer he went in to explore this err abandoned disneyland lah


he was like <mandarin>走走走吧他找到一个:zou zou zou ba ta zhao dao yi ge</mandarin> design, there's there's like do not enter, then makes you wonder like with mobile 近期 right cause like he was me I'll definitely go in


was curious mah right, ya then err, so he went in depth that he was like, these places this place lah got a lot of suicide, a lot of different different different grooms, so he thought like where got so many groups like disneyland mah


so open then after that he found like a lot of different lah, like frozen, that frozen things, ya frozen the animals or what not lah


then she, ya, animal ya light light is abandoned with the building everything is abundance like a disney land but abandoned the you are one of the the


like maybe ah exhibitions or something lah, so like, you went to another another room then he found like, like this disney's costume sort of lah


ya then, ya, ya then the dis the costume started to move that's why, like


ya he immediately ran out so I thought this story right was quite, quite quite true lah but, it's quite hard to believe but I think is quite true also because err this this abandoned disney park right is actually quite famous like around the world


like if you go and search err online right you search abandoned disney right there's a lot of like pictures of,


but cause it's private property, ya, , (uh huh)


oh ya ya ya recently right but I heard about it but I never watch it, is it nice, never


oh you can watch on netflix, (mmhmm), (mmhmm)


ya correct correct


ya, ya


(uh huh), ya


(uh huh), (uh huh), !wah! okay so it's like a it's like a camp activity ah


of some sort, (mmhmm)


(uh huh)


what do you mean fourteen steps


!wow!, so what's the what's the purpose


(mmhmm), so what is the plot twist, oh, okay so what is what is the what is the plot twist


no I don't mind, ya


yup, oh, same


oh !wow!


oh this kind of things lah, ya ya maybe I'll go and take a look about this movie lah


think it's quite interesting, so err, so I suddenly thought of this question so what if you had, if you had three skills that you will instantly you want to learn right what would you learn


ya anything anything, instrument then what kind of instrument


oh, what what language, oh


oh software editing ah cause it's, quite essential right now


ah, but of course there are free electronic software nowadays, ya because like uh I'm studying like I'm in this industry lah this video editing music and sound industry so


to buy all this ah cause firstly it is very expensive and to learn this skill ah it's like it takes a lot of time, ya so I feel like


maybe there are a lot of free this kind of online sites where they teach you how to do it within like maybe like one hour, then <mandarin>啊对:a dui</mandarin> lah <mandarin>你是他们啊教你一下子就会:ni shi ta men a jiao ni yi xia zi jiu hui</mandarin> don't have to take too much of your time to go and study lah


but err I feel like uh as long as you you got the, you got the interest to learn it ah it will very, uh very easy to learn it lah


like you as long as like you got like interest, ya you you have you will put in the effort to do it, cause you you would want to do it in a sense, ya, so like if you if it was for me


if you if it was for me then like uh you go on go on, ya in my opinion mah, you will be quite


ya maybe you can go and have a try you know go on YouTube and search, ya


ya in our society a lot of things I learnt through YouTube lah I would say, ya what about what so so what language would you like to learn


, ah but french is very hard


ah,


ya ya ya I get what you mean I think is, but like


for me I think err number one, I would want to, learn err, how to err cook, cause ya cause err I think it's very important


it's a very important skill that I'll have lah like for example next time when you have a family like, like in your future <mandarin>你的家庭你的孩子你一定你一定会煮饭给他们吃嘛你不你不可以说:ni de jia ting ni de hai zi ni yi ding ni yi ding hui zhu fan gei ta men chi ma ni bu ni bu ke yi shuo</mandarin> like oh <mandarin>爸爸不可以煮饭:ba ba bu ke yi zhu fan</mandarin> oh like you ask your mum to like your wife to do it


ya I feel like, each individual parent should have their, like they should contribute to the family, ya so I think cooking is one of the skills


then also , like you ah language, it's like think with with err different languages I think err it's a very good, like skill to have because if you go to other countries then, you can have many many different opportunities you talk to new new people


ya, as compared to, like singapore lah, then err for the other races they have their, err their own language


then like although like there's been a multi race cultural ratio, err country <mandarin>我们就已经算很多了啦:wo men jiu yi jing suan hen duo le la</mandarin> as compared to like the US UK where they only have english


as their main, ya, so


ya they want to learn chinese, ya, then uh also , honestly maybe ya learn a musical instrument too lah, you know


ya it's a good skill, ya I've always wanted to learn the piano, ya ya what about you


(mmhmm), why, oh why hwy have you not played the guitar


oh you are too you are too busy, too busy with school work lah, well there's just that's true lah,


err, (mmhmm), ya definitely


definitely we use our phones so much, like, like it's it's everywhere the phones the phones that we use is like, our phone is like very important aspect of our lives


like you think we can, we can live without a phone meh cannot mah, let's, (mmhmm)


ya is like disconnected like okay so <mandarin>我有读到一个:wo you du dao yi ge</mandarin> post like , like last time, the internet, err is an escape from reality like from real life, but 现在 hor


real life is an escape from like in the internet, you, ya like we <mandarin>我们就是:wo men jiu shi</mandarin> we spend too much time


in real life, ya, although yes lah times are changing but, but it's I feel like, we have lost a lot of , a lot of like personal contact, with our


with our friends and families like let's say <mandarin>我给你一个例子啦:wo gei ni yi ge li zi la</mandarin> hor <mandarin>对就是因为你跟你的朋友出去或者:dui jiu shi yin wei ni gen ni de peng you chu qu huo zhe</mandarin> err let's say you're going on a date with a girl, so first before you go on a date with a girl right obviously you must start talking to her first so <mandarin>以前啊你都是:yi qian a ni dou shi</mandarin> like <mandarin>你跟那个女孩子讲好:ni gen na ge nv hai zi jiang hao</mandarin> okay ah we meet at maybe like eight eight PM err maybe at this restaurant then ah


then but now, err is like, err they you just text you just like oh Instagram then you just like hit up the girl you just text the girl


this kind of things lah, so I feel like like we have lost the true meaning of like, like speaking and talking to people, ya, even


ya even in err friends and families ah, some some err people and like they just don't talk in real life anymore they rather like text and then they just keep quiet, it's quite scary lah to be honest


(mmhmm), ya, ya


oh ya true lah I mean , maybe the sleep cycle wise right I also have the same problem, as uh as you, so like it's hard to I feel like with our phones around it's hard it's hard to


to sleep, cause like you will be overly attached to our phones right, ya and, and maybe , like uh our our phones will affect us


so much that we wouldn't we wouldn't have time to , to go and like uh oh and ah like like read a book let's say before we sleep, or like or like err


ya in a sense, too much of our social media it's also very bad, bad for us lah, ya so err what what about you what what do you think about, like how social media these days


real interaction, ya,


ya, oh ya true


ya ya, oh ya


ah


, ah so it's like it's like a it's like a a a time when you relax yourself ah right to to remove all these distractions and


ya I feel like this very good, ya but I feel like, very little of us teenagers like these days will come and do this really because, like kids like to like our generations below us right like since young they always always have their phone with them already


ya, then, like ah, in the past when I was uh still a kid like maybe let's say primary school


or like all the all the non touchscreen phones right, ya whereas nowadays like, lots of people , are using ah


huge ass phones, ya quite


ya ya definitely, ya then uh, social media is like really distracting lah in a sense, ya and, ya what do you mean


(mmhmm)


ya lah, good good and bad, oh, okay lah no problem ah I'll catch up with you another day


ya no problem lah you, ya can I mean speaking about the thing right like you can just text it to me ya that's the good part of it lah, ya can


ya no problem lah that atmosphere next next week

this game ah, if you play with people you know it'll over voice call ah actually is very very fun


ya lah then <mandarin>然后有点:ran hou you dian</mandarin> boring lah <mandarin>你如果太早死掉就比较不好玩:ni ru guo tai zao si diao jiu bi jiao bu hao wan</mandarin> lah, , oh


you how about you aaron


eh quite ya ya quite <mandarin>划算:hua suan</mandarin> also


err is the bike trail is it, oh you


so okay okay okay then I I try to I try to recall a bit lah I think around around five <mandarin>五六年前:wu liu nian qian</mandarin> should be around there so I go there with like my <mandarin>全家人:quan jia ren</mandarin> lah


then we were just biking we along the bike trail over there then we decide we decide to just <mandarin>休息一下子吧:xiu xi yi xia zi ba</mandarin> so we just stop over there for awhile look at the trees beside there right, I remember my father he got point at <mandarin>榴莲树:liu lian shu</mandarin> over there lah he's like eh


now, ya now is like err in season lah to, ya <mandarin>肯定有:ken ding you</mandarin> durian <mandarin>的你:de ni</mandarin> you go over there right confirm can find a few so right, we we saw like oh a lot of durian some even


like fall on the floor already, suddenly right got this uncle ah, don't know he come from where one lah but he holding one I don't know it's like a durian bag ah to <mandarin>装榴莲:zhuang liu lian</mandarin> one what so


he parked right beside my brother lah okay his <mandarin>脚踏车:jiao ta che</mandarin> over there, he looking around for durian can tell lah he is those kind of like sell sell durian one those kind of uncle, he don't even think twice hor <mandarin>一脚踢我弟弟那个脚踏车:yi jiao ti wo di di na ge jiao ta che</mandarin> eh


ah so just like that right ya he then he just rode away just like that you know, so obviously, ya my father ah damn angry my father very very angry and he started scolding at the uncle lah then the


the uncle just drive away like, err, not really lah we like a bit we like a bit shock <mandarin>到:dao</mandarin> lah a bit <mandarin>惊讶:jing ya</mandarin> also so we also don't know what to say afterwards, we looked at the bicycle right eh he the uncle kick to bike right one of the gears came out leh like because is uh one of those


no no no <mandarin>租的:zu de</mandarin> so this kind of like a bike rental bike lah, so the the quality not say you know very good one but


of course got pay money lah but err, I think we pay a bit more lah just because, is I don't know we also don't know


how the bike break so easily, but I think we paid like I don't know <mandarin>五十多块:wu shi duo kuai</mandarin> for the rental for his bike only sia, ya so that was quite interesting


I don't know lah just some people now not very considerate one lah


recently ah


I think recent the most recent one is around <mandarin>两年前:liang nian qian</mandarin> that's all, but, that time the island roughly similar lah like <mandarin>没有太多改变:mei you tai duo gai bian</mandarin> lor so should be


ya, ya I tell you singapore right with so many buildings left and right right very hard to have a feel of like a kampung those kind of feeling


ya, #pulau ubin# is quite interesting lah


Buangkok ah, !wah! that one quite hard to find sia


I I think right if got chance ah, if got chance I might I might go there to like I don't know explore a bit lah but you see, you see the situation with our country now with the whole <mandarin>疫情:yi qing</mandarin> of err COVID


is a bit, it's a bit restricting lah,


recently ah, oh you know err okay I I watch this, I watch just like korean those kind of <mandarin>僵尸片:jiang shi pian</mandarin> lah those kind of zombie movies


then there's one I watch recently, err, I can't really remember leh, I think <mandarin>印象中:yin xiang zhong</mandarin> is something alive ah hashtag alive or something, that one <mandarin>蛮有趣的:man you qu de</mandarin> I tell you


ya ya ya <mandarin>我在:wo zai</mandarin> netflix <mandarin>上看到:shang kan dao</mandarin> then err you got watch before, quite scary leh like I okay lah


so is this okay is this gamer lah this <mandarin>宅男:zhai nan</mandarin> okay he's just maybe something like you everyday wake up play computer game one, then right <mandarin>有一天:you yi tian</mandarin> right


should be, should be one day he he wakes up lah like oh <mandarin>在家里走来走去:zai jia li zou lai zou qu</mandarin> walk around the house a bit then after that right <mandarin>在找食物的时候:zai zhao shi wu de shi hou</mandarin> hor,


what virus outbreak stay at home err we all like, investigating the <mandarin>情况:qing kuang</mandarin> right, so he never he never think too much about it lah then he go back go back <mandarin>房间睡觉:fang jian shui jiao</mandarin> lor afterwards he wake up he realised right eh his his err <mandarin>母亲:mu qin</mandarin> and the <mandarin>妹妹:mei mei</mandarin> ah I think


I haven't come back from home haven't come back from school yet or something, ya then he thinks eh something is wrong he looked outside right he <mandarin>窗口打开:chuang kou da kai</mandarin> right you see down there right everybody lifeless on the floor like nobody moving at all lah so he is like eh something wrong either eh they all like err <mandarin>中到:zhong dao</mandarin> infection or something


so, he checked the news channel again then something wrong with the news channel also the satellite ah the satellite got a bit of the problem, , so he, he started to maybe concern a bit more then he go back to his room he go on his err what's that called ah


those voice chat ah those, ah usual gaming friends one those kind of voice chat he ask lah, should be should be he ask eh err you all know what's going on with like the whole the whole thing or not because err everybody under my block is like infected


then he also <mandarin>不知道怎么做:bu zhi dao zen me zuo</mandarin> right so the friends respond to him err you must stay safe lah make sure to err <mandarin>锁你木门:suo ni mu men</mandarin> all these so he go and prepare that he locked doors whatever then all of a sudden he heard banging on his door it's one of the <mandarin>僵尸:jiang shi</mandarin> come in okay


then the thing is right the <mandarin>僵尸:jiang shi</mandarin> come in that time look like a like a <mandarin>普通男孩:pu tong nan hai</mandarin> like a normal guy lah, he come in he's like eh I'm your neighbour from I think <mandarin>四一八二:si yi ba er</mandarin> or something like that, he come in and he say please let me in please let me in


no no no so he look human at first but his eye a bit red so the gamer thought that oh maybe this guy is err Kena attack until but never bite until you know they never <mandarin>中到:zhong dao</mandarin> infection lah so he let the guy stay the guy was at the doorway there he blocking the door also because they all scared of <mandarin>僵尸:jiang shi</mandarin> what


afterwards he looked at the news right the TV suddenly pop back up with a single lah the thing will say right err infected people were show sign of like Kena <mandarin>中到:zhong dao</mandarin> infection but a few minutes after and the very obvious sign is redness of eyes then he looked back right he looked back at the at the <mandarin>邻居:lin ju</mandarin> ya the <mandarin>邻居:lin ju</mandarin> started like I don't know lah like those kind of


, and then from that point he spent a lot of days waiting for his the <mandarin>母亲:mu qin</mandarin> and the <mandarin>妹妹:mei mei</mandarin> to come back right but nobody came back then his <mandarin>电话没有:dian hua mei you</mandarin> signal, so he getting very like <mandarin>沮丧:ju sang</mandarin> lah very devastated those kind and then something change along the way about I cannot tell you too much lah but it's a very like <mandarin>有趣:you qu</mandarin> that kind of movie

!aiyo! <mandarin>原来是这样的一个:yuan lai shi zhe yang de yi ge</mandarin> or plot twist ah <mandarin>所以蛮:suo yi man</mandarin> exciting 的


oh okay okay <mandarin>所以你你你不介意我给你:suo yi ni ni ni bu jie yi wo gei ni</mandarin> spoil <mandarin>一点:yi dian</mandarin> lah, okay okay <mandarin>所以:suo yi</mandarin> hor


okay <mandarin>所以那个时候有三位女生还有两位男生:suo yi na ge shi hou you san wei nv sheng hai you liang wei nan sheng</mandarin> lah so altogether five people four four years from then hor four years from <mandarin>二零一二:er ling yi er</mandarin> will be twenty sixteen right


, three skills ah


okay <mandarin>我想一想:wo xiang yi xiang</mandarin> err <mandarin>第一个:di yi ge</mandarin> number one


I mean err <mandarin>随便哪一个:sui bian na yi ge</mandarin> language ah <mandarin>我就有一点想跟更多人你懂:wo jiu you yi dian xiang gen geng duo ren ni dong</mandarin> err communicate lah


oh really


okay lah <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lah <mandarin>有点好奇心:you dian hao qi xin</mandarin> is should be able to learn, , so


so like if, should be quite easy to learn from online is it, okay


[orh] okay okay think YouTube <mandarin>应该会有很多那些:ying gai hui you hen duo na xie</mandarin> tutorial


language ah I think now hor


but then, I think


so I also quite like, interested lah so should be, if I mean if I got the time because right, I not sure about you lah but


so not not really can find like all the time in the world to learn this kind of <mandarin>知识:zhi shi</mandarin> you know


so aaron how about you leh you ask three skills right


oh


ya,


ah,


ya right correct correct yes err


oh, there's


oh, okay, so <mandarin>如果有:ru guo you</mandarin> spare time uh <mandarin>可以去学一些:ke yi qu xue yi xie</mandarin> cords <mandarin>啊就弹学几几首歌:a jiu dan xue ji ji shou ge</mandarin> should be quite fun


, no no no I don't, I think I got that kind of like, time right now lah so <mandarin>如果有机会的话:ru guo you ji hui de hua</mandarin> should try to pick it up lah so can be quite fun now also


ya and for me lah it's sometimes better than just using my phone the whole day ah, you know, you know


I also think it's like especially now ah like <mandarin>我们在假期的时间:wo men zai jia qi de shi jian</mandarin> hor <mandarin>用电话的:yong dian hua de</mandarin> screen time <mandarin>肯定会增加的:ken ding hui zeng jia de</mandarin> confirm, like <mandarin>会:hui</mandarin> affect <mandarin>到我们那个:dao wo men na ge</mandarin> sleep cycle


ya, the strange thing is right, ya but I was I was thinking ah like, you think about like <mandarin>十年前:shi nian qian</mandarin> right like those kind of err time even


okay lah I would say, around <mandarin>十年前啊:shi nian qian a</mandarin> around ten years around that time we were fine without using err our phone that much but, why nowadays right become until


immediately look at your phone notification the last thing you do before you sleep is also look at your phone most of the things revolve around us being glued to our phone leh and it's quite like I feel lah


I take away from a lot of experience we get with like the outside world and, is just I know times are changing right because technology is such err on the rise err aspect of life it makes life easier or whatever


but <mandarin>我就觉得啦有一点:wo jiu jue de la you yi dian</mandarin> disconnect between people since right we're all looking at each other from two phones maybe err <mandarin>另外一个国家都可以:ling wai yi ge guo jia dou ke yi</mandarin> but then, I feel lah bring us closer but the same time further you know


ah ya ya ya make sense


but your what's that called ah, cause I was saying right like your sleep cycle, were a bit affected will be affected just a bit right, ya and the thing is I'm not sure about you lah but


I have <mandarin>一些:yi xie</mandarin> like <mandarin>睡眠问题:shui mian wen ti</mandarin> but I'm not sure how to fix it do you have any ways to maybe fix err sleep sleep cycle like in a short amount of time because since my school starting soon


I might need to start sleeping early so I can wake up early


oh, listen to music, ya


I think right, me and you roughly like <mandarin>相同的想法:xiang tong de xiang fa</mandarin> lah is, more of it take away a lot of the real interaction you can make with another person lah so


like the example you said the dating one is a lot different how would you can like can say like #pak tor# like even before #pak tor# the that timing is like how you even speak to a girl in the first place, you take away from real interactions you have with like your <mandarin>亲戚呀朋友亲戚:qin qi ya peng you qin qi</mandarin> all this your friends and family and


think the most important thing is right the, opinion of other people online right is really like shape <mandarin>我们的想法:wo men de xiang fa</mandarin> just a bit lah I'm not sure how serious like to what extent right but


you think about it ah, you we wouldn't be this affected by other people if we didn't know how they think or how they think about us but nowadays right people from like across the internet


they randomly see one picture right just randomly <mandarin>留言:liu yan</mandarin> something then they don't even know you they don't even know you in real life and it can affect how you feel as a person even though that person doesn't know you so I feel like it's quite a like a <mandarin>危险:wei xian</mandarin> kind of situation


because it is can cause can cause a lot of us to <mandarin>觉得有一点:jue de you yi dian</mandarin> insecure


so, for for me I will say is, oh, the online community now lah got more of a, a bad energy bad stigma surrounding it ah based on


like <mandarin>我的经验:wo de jing yan</mandarin> my personal, ya experience through all of this, so, as for those you know, I just now say like my I got problems with like using phone too much right


so <mandarin>以前:yi qian</mandarin> lah <mandarin>我会做:wo hui zuo</mandarin> like this kind of err this kind of I think I would say like a mental stress reliever


ah ya, agree


ya, ya those kind of <mandarin>平板电脑:ping ban dian nao</mandarin> just immediately ya you'll get to use these kind of things


nah is, the generation after us ya I think will <mandarin>被影响到:bei ying xiang dao</mandarin> a bit lah, but you know I think is up to <mandarin>那些父母:na xie fu mu</mandarin> lor to make sure their children is in a sense err don't stray too much lah and don't get too err addicted to this kind of thing because you can me you and me can both vouch lah is quite addicting lah this kind of social media


, but it's good you know like <mandarin>你看现在我们两个:ni kan xian zai wo men liang ge</mandarin> right we have been speaking and


this is the kind of conversation <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> lah will help bring you know people closer together and we can talk about more things that like err we can both have similar sentiments on and I feel like this is more genuine lah compared to whatever we see online so ya


I think right say until here right, there's good and bad ya err you know my online class is about to start soon leh aaron I think, have to I have to go already you know


ya sure or you want to take down my Instagram first okay I'll text it to you later I have your number right, can can can so maybe <mandarin>下个礼拜呀下个礼拜:xia ge li bai ya xia ge li bai</mandarin> should be able to to catch up with you soon you want lunch


okay okay okay gotta go see you, whereby


you okay [lah] I you know I really I wrote it


hello, hello, ya ya hello hi steve, ya I can hear you I can hear you, ya, yes very first


singlish ah, ya yes, it's uh my day is pretty uh boring lah as usual lah I mean


, ya busy for for the the afternoon time lah, during the afternoon time, expert expert in <mandarin>什么我在准备我的那个课:shen me wo zai zhun bei wo de na ge ke</mandarin> mah so


training ah <mandarin>训习事:xun xi shi</mandarin> ya, ya ya ya, err I don't think they call it a part time or a full time trainer lah but rather it's a freelance lah


!ee! bilingual lor ya, yes


I'm actually err, doing a few few things lah but then err they are not concurrently uh I mean as in they don't come together they don't coincide together you see, so basically err what I'm doing is err, mobile phone repair and err


I I I I think <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> repair <mandarin>跟现在是:gen xian zai shi</mandarin> repair lah last time <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> last time <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> repair and err take in those used phones lah I mean I still do but then err <mandarin>比较没有这么多:bi jiao mei you zhe me duo</mandarin> lah <mandarin>电话:dian hua</mandarin> lah because nowadays <mandarin>比较慢:bi jiao man</mandarin> lah ya


ya basically majority of the phones that err is out in the market lah, okay lah I mean, #tan ka liao#


no lah, ya mobile phones but some some mobile phones they are not worth repairing lah so I sometimes will advise them to not to repair lah I mean depends on uh the situation lah I mean, you know like certain models are very cheap then you if you want to repair it's going to cost you like uh maybe a new brand new phone then I mean no point lah


no point to to repair, ya, , Samsung <mandarin>看什么电话:kan shen me dian hua</mandarin> lah <mandarin>它有时候它的:ta you shi hou ta de</mandarin> model hor


or rather I won't say <mandarin>便宜:pian yi</mandarin> lah but reasonable lah reasonably priced lah


ya, oh really ah, really ah you you try lah


ya it's just like <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> windscreen <mandarin>这样你的车:zhe yang ni de che</mandarin> windscreen then you got a a crack <mandarin>有些人说:you xie ren shuo</mandarin> !wah! <mandarin>你可以用什么:ni ke yi yong shen me</mandarin> gel <mandarin>什么东西:shen me dong xi</mandarin> I feel it's a little bit rubbish lah it ah ya overrated overrated, you know ya <mandarin>你你:ni ni</mandarin> because I ever try leh <mandarin>我的那个:wo de na ge</mandarin> windscreen right hit by a rock leh ah stray stray a very stray a stray rock ah ya Piak !wah! <mandarin>我就很很:wo jiu hen hen</mandarin> sharp pitch <mandarin>的一个:de yi ge</mandarin> knock on the wind uh windscreen


so I I I disregard the thing lah so I thinking !aiya! maybe some small little stones lah, !wah! next day <mandarin>我看:wo kan</mandarin> ah <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> windscreen <mandarin>的那个:de na ge</mandarin> corner start to spider web leh !wah!, so


okay okay let me give you a rundown, Android phone is uh basically okay not say Android phone lah but Android itself ah is an operating system it's uh open source operating system, so basically err these people they buy from whoever who produce this uh Android so Samsung will have their own version of Android HTC will have their own version of uh Android Sony will have their own version of Android and Huawei and I mean the rest of the brands lah I mean Oppo whatever you know so iPhone will only have their OS strictly IOS


you see but, ya


, better okay better hor in a way <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> more secure, ah <mandarin>比较多给人家拿去去去:bi jiao duo gei ren jia na qu qu qu</mandarin> exploit lah you know people exploit already then they will start hacking they will start you know <mandarin>是这样的:shi zhe yang de</mandarin> mah <mandarin>东西一定一定有人要去:dong xi yi ding yi ding you ren yao qu</mandarin> exploit <mandarin>它的:ta de</mandarin> mah


ya, , !wah! but then hor by by then hor by then hor by then <mandarin>他们已经去到:ta men yi jing qu dao</mandarin> thirteen Liao <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> then <mandarin>不是说它会很快:bu shi shuo ta hui hen kuai</mandarin> lah but you know the the the increase of <mandarin>它的那个:ta de na ge</mandarin> the advancement of <mandarin>它的:ta de</mandarin> technology <mandarin>是有一点点:shi you yi dian dian</mandarin> slow lah a bit


backwards lah I mean


ah <mandarin>你不要忘记:ni bu yao wang ji</mandarin> leh <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> ah <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> ah <mandarin>你看:ni kan</mandarin> ah if you compare ah if you compare right if you compare ah if you compare Samsung ah and uh Huawei and Apple right for example these these are the three major the major the big big brother in the market mah


ah the current unit the current unit is err I think #hong ming# or something like that then <mandarin>他们有自己的华为的的:ta men you zi ji de hua wei de de</mandarin> app store lah, ya


yup but then the phone wise hor <mandarin>我用:wo yong</mandarin> okay lah, so <mandarin>我只是用:wo zhi shi yong</mandarin> as to err to maybe <mandarin>有时开进去:you shi kai jin qu</mandarin> Zoom lah you know to to <mandarin>有时候:you shi hou</mandarin> because my main phone <mandarin>我在用多一个一个:wo zai yong duo yi ge yi ge</mandarin> program


another Zoom, ah very clear very clear very clear very clear <mandarin>它的:ta de</mandarin> display <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> clear then the camera wise <mandarin>我觉得它会赢过:wo jue de ta hui ying guo</mandarin> Samsung


given that it's a P twenty you know, it's a a a mate twenty pro ah it's a very old not really old lah maybe err one or two years phone lah you know but still <mandarin>它的:ta de</mandarin> err, photo taking the resolution the the the the overall is still very nice lah <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> the interface <mandarin>我很:wo hen</mandarin> comfortable


so <mandarin>我会:wo hui</mandarin> recommend uh this uh <mandarin>华为:hua wei</mandarin> lah rather than the Samsung Samsung I still feel that <mandarin>它:ta</mandarin> after some times <mandarin>你放很多东西它就会:ni fang hen duo dong xi ta jiu hui</mandarin> lag lah


everybody is copying everybody lah I mean to be very frank lah you know what I mean it's only it's only it's who who have the deeper pocket ah to go and patent ah every single thing that they do you see, ya just like Samsung there was once I think few years back they they sue they sue err they sue Apple and Apple counter sue back and then who won who won Samsung won right or Apple won right ya same this is ya


patent ya it's all about patenting it's all about money lah it's all about what you call that they they they call it a trade war lah , ya, I do but majority of the time I do err repair lah most of the time most of the time lah right now at this moment I mean especially during COVID period a lot of phones are damaged a lot of phones have uh issue a lot of phones have uh battery failing you know so basically at that kind of time down period that is the best time lah but that is not the time to kill people lah also I mean as in you know you don't take them as a carrot lah


I used to I used to I used to own a shop in about let's say about seven years ago lah, I ran a shop about err sorry, no lah I used to okay my shop used to be at #sim lim# opposite of #sim lim# the bencoolen


ya but then later on I after after about a year plus I I I start moving to to HDB side lah to which is at Hougang lah Hougang this uh #lorong ah soo#, ya then that's where that's where ya yes it's quite near it's quite near it's near Kovan lah in fact is nearer to Kovan Kovan side ya


no rented the shop, unfortunately I cannot have that kind of money to buy a shop , not really leh not really leh not really leh not really


no lah last time I used to I used to run the shop full time, and I'm I'm only focusing on the shop that's all, basically I I


initially I I I have a partner then later on I and then I, change another partner, you know I rent I rent the shop for my I mean I rent the shop on my own lah I mean for a while then my my the other friend also he close shop he closed down his shop and then he wants to join me lah so we you know he become my partner and then err


no lah not really high not really high HDB is not really high in fact my in fact my this uh this this this landlord is quite is quite nice lah he he he is quite nice and then the next door they are they are they are relative of the landlord you see so the landlord ah he himself is also a taxi driver so he basically he drive taxi and then he don't care about whatever rental ya he don't care one just <mandarin>收租金:shou zu jin</mandarin> lor that kinda thing but he


err mobile courses ah I I didn't bother to go into a I mean I or rather I I did not go into mobile courses lah


learn from my friend lah, ya my friend they ya practical lah confirm straight away eh


ya lor,


conflict of interest lah but rather <mandarin>这个是:zhe ge shi</mandarin> between the boss the bosses the bosses lah the bosses actually okay <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> leh <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> because <mandarin>我我:wo wo</mandarin> last time <mandarin>我去:wo qu</mandarin> ah supplier <mandarin>那边:na bian</mandarin> right all are all the shop bosses what


so basically we will meet and then err we will know each other lah somehow or rather because


very small only so basically the price war I say you all !aiya! <mandarin>你们的:ni men de</mandarin> location <mandarin>这样远不会撞到:zhe yang yuan bu hui zhuang dao</mandarin> mah <mandarin>不会:bu hui</mandarin> langgar <mandarin>到你的那个:dao ni de na ge</mandarin> pricing mah so err


slashed prices lah they slashed prices here and there lah I mean the the workers lah just to get sales you see


but sometimes, they they slashed too much pricing already become it it becomes it becomes way too, too below I I would feel it's below margin lah


ya ya ya ya I mean, mobile phone <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> hor <mandarin>我跟你讲:wo gen ni jiang</mandarin> everybody hor is one phone is nothing lah two phone also nothing already it is not a big deal you know last time you you see one person taking two phones it's like !wah! it's a very big deal now it's common lah so common


no, err no okay <mandarin>我有一个:wo you yi ge</mandarin> main line this is the one I'm conversing I'm conversing with you lah <mandarin>那个是我的:na ge shi wo de</mandarin> main line and then I <mandarin>我的那个华为就是有:wo de na ge hua wei jiu shi you</mandarin> err dual SIM card <mandarin>一个就是一个是:yi ge jiu shi yi ge shi</mandarin> data card <mandarin>一个是:yi ge shi</mandarin> prepaid card then <mandarin>在我的另外一个:zai wo de ling wai yi ge</mandarin> phone right <mandarin>它是一个:ta shi yi ge</mandarin> malaysia card <mandarin>来的:lai de</mandarin> because when I travel malaysia <mandarin>我就会用:wo jiu hui yong</mandarin> mah <mandarin>这个:zhe ge</mandarin> malaysia card


so sometimes ah, ya in a way better lah because, prepaid, ya but luckily but luckily I extended a year you know


ah I extended the I, I top up oh no I top up I top up err when I was in malaysia, when I went there before the COVID okay so I I went to top up, eh and then my friend say eh I I teach you you go and top up this amount after that I teach you how to do it you can extend for a year


I mean at that I mean a year to keep the line alive but if I need to use data right I just [orh] just use my data passport lah from singapore, can can can can, I used my data password no my my data passport, then I err because my data was unlimited you see because previously I was on unlimited plan so basically I can share almost about thirty twenty percent of my of my data over in malaysia which is more than more than enough lah even if I'm going to stay there for a week without wi-fi I won't die also lah


ya I'm still very, very data hungry and then still very suffice lah I mean during I mean I have more than enough lah, ah JB KL ya go around lah


!wah! I miss JB a lot man, much more


much more than ever ya ya, confirm <mandarin>死城:si cheng</mandarin> because because right now right now at this this period they, our lockdown and their lockdown their lockdown is much earlier than ours you can imagine how bad how bad the situation is


ya initially they say !wah! no lah malaysia wasn't as bad as singapore lah singapore is so small you know you all stay so close together you know the block HDB blocks are so close up together in malaysia we are very properly spaced out so it's unlike you all know so no so they're very contented lah so I I I I couldn't be bothered to comment lah because


it's your own country you should know your country well right, singaporean ya, very singaporean


oh really ah, okay lah at least city city city square is very near the custom mah, definitely lah everybody is bleeding lor come on

everybody inside the plane uh that for that go for that kind of dining ah they gonna get your nose poked , I wouldn't want to risk I I don't even want to go cinema you know I'm a very I'm a very cinema person you know I am a very cinema goer person so even then ah with this err

tablet right, the sixty five inch, ya I think, I think projector I think projector is a good idea because projector you can project anywhere that is flat and then that which is err ya you can project on your on your ceiling as well


ya, cannot, !huh!


err, all become all become lazy right suddenly all, ya all become lazy pig already, I lost weight leh in fact during COVID ya

that one is really !wah! emerald colour ah so that one is not really a stone it's actually the the the material, that will actually crystal that that is crystallisation, process ya, this crystallisation once the process is being err after I mean ah after it's done right you will really see like really ya it will form up a stone lah which we will have our gall bladder kind of thing gall bladder stone so you have to remove it


ya feeling is, yes I agree at least once err once once a a month, [orh] [orh] sorry at least once three months uh three months once uh three month once they say that they

I won't purposely go and engage ya into uh, into a a blood donation kind of thing lah but err ya, but,


ya because I, I think, thirty ya thirty something lah, ya because no because the body already have some condition and then the thing you know it's I think it's about err capillaries I think something to do with capillaries if I'm not I'm not wrong lah I heard


ya it's something to do with capillaries err snap or something like that you know when we say we <mandarin>喝油:he you</mandarin> because of the the the the expansion and the contraction of the the veins and capillaries you see, if you drink cold water the thing will just shrink you know and you drink warm water at least you keep the the blood flowing everything is well so it's always encourage-able to to consume warm water hot water so it's because to to keep our body at that kind of temperature


ya, ya, (ppc) ya, ya, yes, I mean


where where where where you where you where you wanna go, oh really ah

I see I see,


transform,


!wah! that one ah that one I wouldn't bet on it man, , very comforting ah, very comforting to know that they are doing this for you but then ah what you imagine what what your what you imagine ah sometimes might not be what is the reality


it doesn't it doesn't gel up together you see, , same lah ya lah I mean


ah uh I don't think I don't think singapore office they will lah, judging from the current situation, and judging from the person who is running the the the the company you know what I mean, so ya, so I don't think I don't think I don't think the word is even tough I won't I I will call that near impossible


ya, dictionary I don't think it's even in the mentality they shouldn't be you have to be inside the mentality you know, they have a lot of advantages because they because


if you if you put the if you put another person in to run this this this current mad house lah, I call it a mad house right now because I feel that there are a lot of things still a little bit screw up I mean judging from the company to start from twenty sixteen until now by right four years you should be very stable you should be very


err what you call that very it's very firm you have a basic SOP everything it should be standardised already you know but now right now it's still neither here nor there you know it's it's still like is like a Wa suka suka #zo ji gei# Wa suka suka you know uh oh <mandarin>我就做这个我就做那个:wo jiu zuo zhe ge wo jiu zuo na ge</mandarin> that kind of thing lah


it's like based based on your personal feeling you know ya ya very !aiya! feel that it's very


no okay okay okay there's a few school of thoughts okay the first school of thoughts I feel ah if you saying the top is not making any effort you know you can't see lah you know if the top is going to, step in and err you know, say something you know


that that person who is helping ah might not be happy as well because, the person might feel that you know you don't trust me to to run the company as in you know, you know the person might feel ah the the person might feel otherwise lah but if right now


the boss you know, give authority to the person but this person is not really making full use of the authority but abusing the system, ya, ya if you if you have the authority and then yet you abuse it and not making taking advantage of it ah to to your fullest advantage ah at your side ah


then this thing will backfire, that's what I see lah, to this person who is running the company, feels that I do not have the kind of uh experience to to be advising her you see


she feels that I lack of experience she feel that you know, she doesn't, that's the biggest biggest problem, ya, she do not accept uh any kind of feedback any feedback she will take it as a complaint any complaint will become a very bad complaint so basically to her


is err everything is negative but not positive but when she speak she speaks of positivity, you see that's the thing


my dad always tell me something you know Li eh #lao bu# eh #xing tei# eh #sai kuei# !huh!


I I cannot lah I I cannot I cannot change her lah if I going to change her I have to change myself first you know


err look judging ah judging from okay or or rather or rather I feel uh from from that time until now ah, I feel that the changes is not done lah, ya still the same lah I mean the way she talk the way ya because you see okay okay just like you say ah right now right now ah the new norms ah is to use a mask when you go out the new norms right new norms


but to her new norms is still something no she cannot accept you know that kinda thing I'm not saying that she was not willing to put on a mask lah I'm saying that


your mindset your mindset is not right then of course everything is not right, if your mindset is right definitely whatever you want it'll go on your way

e-book ah they got e-book right so they there are a lot of authors ah in other country ah they write well but they don't know how to, how to make a living out of it so some people they work together lor, ah I know how to <mandarin>包装:bao zhuang</mandarin> I know how to sales you know how to write right


then we work together collaborate also got such thing lor, but <mandarin>要出头要出头:yao chu tou yao chu tou</mandarin> not sure lah because you see ah to to be successful ah you must be the the elite ah the best in what whatever field you are in


if not then you are just just one of the many, ya lor so, so really depend lah <mandarin>如果要成功:ru guo yao cheng gong</mandarin> right must really be the best in your respective trade


but you just want to live life just to enjoy life experience life right, then what we are doing maybe is already we are there, that's why I always believe, ah past past <mandarin>过去过:guo qu guo</mandarin> Liao lah glory whatever gone already and whether good or bad gone already !huh! whatever good or bad gone future <mandarin>我也不懂:wo ye bu dong</mandarin> I don't know when next moment when I will die I also not sure so <mandarin>活在当下:huo zai dang xia</mandarin> like now I enjoy talking to you because now with my good friend rocco and we are doing your recording just enjoy it lor I think <mandarin>活在当下:huo zai dang xia</mandarin> is very important


, !hais!, !huh! another ten minute lah so your dream is what, your dream is what


ah so your next goal is to be


only the top only the top will make lah the rest is just helping them to make, !huh!, is it


ya you are very you're really very good at ya, , solid solid , eh I thought you just keep on motivating people what so as you grow to the top you become like more like leader


so you just share, ah, dictator ah, I hate the word dictator ya


ya, ya, yes, ya, ya, ya correct correct, ya, ,


but he's very nice to his wife lah, , ya but I guess to to to do well and then be happy has to be a group effort lah because just by by a person is very tough lor


no matter how good is a plan right is it has to be a team effort lah, like minded people <mandarin>在一起:zai yi qi</mandarin> ah then easier, but very difficult leh, very difficult to find enough uh <mandarin>同样想法的人:tong yang xiang fa de ren</mandarin> ah


so that's why most people are just, uh <mandarin>难听一点:nan ting yi dian</mandarin> it's called mediocre, so just an average even I myself sometimes I consider a lot of thing is even at work right


so so only people at the top will make money only the shareholder make money, ya, is it,


oh ya eh a lot of err company close shop leh, seriously eh, ya, , is it,


!aiya! SQ at least all those uh air stewardess they become, what nurse or consult, counsellor in hospital ah


no no I think the hospital now they employ a lot of uh flight attendants so now the the patient they recover faster because they see beautiful lady and handsome man mah so they very happy then then they, ah <mandarin>大事小事:da shi xiao shi</mandarin> they go hospital


then then hor then then all these SIA girl ah !wah! they they are doing their best mah because they uh customer service very good mah they just need to know transform ah cross training right retraining, then they have they can be very good counsellors very good nurses what imagine ah if you are not feeling well then uh ex SIA girl


then actually help you err err help you to change uh to bathe lah to what !wah! very happy what, right


ah , , (ppc) ya I think so lah but anyway err they also need to feed the family lah so they need to find a job


so maybe #yi wei# should start recruiting those SIA ah now is the best time, is it


, yes yes, a bit tough lah, !huh! it's not in the dictionary ah


, eh but actually their you see ah they got the <mandarin>外表:wai biao</mandarin> right they actually they got advantage, yes


, , , , yes


so it's the still still very sporadic ah still very sporadic, then should transform lah I mean if must start from the top lah the top must set the tone if the top don't set the tone and lead people to run on their own then <mandarin>很难:hen nan</mandarin> uh


oh, okay


, ya, true


, actually I thought if you if she accept your advice ah it'll be good


actually you all can that's the problem, hor,


no way ah, , so you gave up on her already ah


depends ah depends lah so, so if she, people change over time hopefully but if she refuses to we cannot force her, you know


, still the same old self


yes,


, mindset lah it's always the mindset lor mindset


, eh is she very old ah, that's how old, fifty nine sixty, #buay gong jin lao# mah six


so by right shouldn't leh, don't understand, , yes whatever will happen


whatever like that will be like that lah !huh! so there's nothing we can do, whatever can happen will happen it's true, ah okay lah so that's a very good one


okay [lah], I don't care [lah] we just enjoy ourselves !huh! we we do our best you do your trainer I try to support


ah quite tough ah <mandarin>这几天:zhe ji tian</mandarin> a lot of exams you know midterms, ya so how about you, !aiya! do you have to even ask about that it's just


my course lor but <mandarin>有点数学啊有点科学:you dian shu xue a you dian ke xue</mandarin> lor and all lot of stuff, it's material science and engineering I don't know what's in chinese lah but well it's engineering lah base


!aiya!


err I mean depends on you lor


you talking about your current accent now ah !wah! what a joke man dude


that's true


I mean <mandarin>坦白说:tan bai shuo</mandarin> you are born from you're raised speaking english so it's not a it's not a weird thing if you speak a lot of english


oh it's it's okay lah I can tell your chinese is to there lah <mandarin>看得出看得出不用担心:kan de chu kan de chu bu yong dan xin</mandarin> I'm here we are here to speak we are here to speak a very uh, normal combo in chinese and english


ya I get what you mean it's like <mandarin>第一声第二声第三声第四声:di yi sheng di er sheng di san sheng di si sheng</mandarin> ah


I mean, eh chill chill you're you're you sound like uh, well it is a long time since you used chinese <mandarin>冷静下来:leng jing xia lai</mandarin> we can speak slowly you can slowly gain your uh knowledge back again as we talk lah cause, ya so anyway <mandarin>现在我想:xian zai wo xiang</mandarin> err


since since we are since we are here right since we are talking right, uh <mandarin>反正我跟你讲:fan zheng wo gen ni jiang</mandarin> lah , ya so in school right err in my NUS so


so, as in now I'm just doing some handover stuff lor <mandarin>把:ba</mandarin> uh <mandarin>一些文件我还没有:yi xie wen jian wo hai mei you</mandarin> uh <mandarin>做好的:zuo hao de</mandarin> just pass on to my next successor


I actually #pang kang# already it's just uh I'm worried for the current successor mainly for mainly for a few things so <mandarin>首先:shou xian</mandarin> leh uh the thing is right now


when she joined right, she joined from poly, I mean <mandarin>这不是坏事:zhe bu shi huai shi</mandarin> it's not a bad thing to join it's I'm just saying


ya so uh she don't have experience in event planning, yes


!wah!, this one is !wah! <mandarin>超级难讲:chao ji nan jiang</mandarin> so no I don't think she has because that time there was a election that she has to attend she must present uh her statement on what she plan to do as student life director <mandarin>哇我看她:wa wo kan ta</mandarin> present hor


!wah! help me ah , no no <mandarin>没有那个没有那个信心讲话:mei you na ge mei you na ge xin xin jiang hua</mandarin> is another thing, we're talking about this eh she go up during the presentation she presented her stuff I ask her question right


we talk about like okay how she gonna build her comm structure <mandarin>她怎么找人来:ta zen me zhao ren lai</mandarin> join <mandarin>加入:jia ru</mandarin> lah to join her comm, but the thing is she said this line eh err I don't know yet cause I no friends I'm like


err no leh uh she's actually okay she what she say is true uh half is true she has, no no no no but as in no as in what she say is true <mandarin>她:ta</mandarin> when she come to NUS right


not a lot of friends come with her like <mandarin>她只来学来大学的时候:ta zhi lai xue lai da xue de shi hou</mandarin> is only a few friends ah a few friends <mandarin>而已一一两个而已啦:er yi yi yi liang ge er yi la</mandarin> two one to two so it's like very hard to uh recruit people lah so what I told her was that uh okay but you don't come to election and tell people you no friends right


ya imagine !wah! <mandarin>你像你你你第一次见人家你跟他讲:ni xiang ni ni ni di yi ci jian ren jia ni gen ta jiang</mandarin> oh I have no friends, like what the heck man like, I understand


understand you no friends you don't have to tell people you no friends right, exactly so, run for my position


so because the club was desperate to get people and, no no I I'm not wasting my time uh <mandarin>是我的任务来的:shi wo de ren wu lai de</mandarin> is my job to actually be there when the election is going on eh I'm


uh my portfolio will be boosted at least I have a very solid portfolio now


they can, probably because this all this adds up to your experience you see it's like the more things you do or the more experience you go through, then the companies will know that okay you are a person that has gone through a lot of things <mandarin>你吃了太多苦了:ni chi le tai duo ku le</mandarin> so it's like we know you can take the stress


so that's why we want you to be in the company because you are a capable person, this is what I believe lah, but the but the funny thing is this you know she got elected, because she is one person and that's not all her ideas


need a lot of work and according to the president's uh, direction <mandarin>他跟我他他他吩咐我们我们:ta gen wo ta ta ta fen fu wo men wo men</mandarin> previous <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> director <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> okay if you want to we hope that the previous director can guide the new upcoming directors especially during the COVID period because the COVID period is


it's quite tough lah <mandarin>一个难关:yi ge nan guan</mandarin> lah let's just put it that, ya but in terms of planning for events they cannot really come to school anymore nowadays, but that but the thing is right you know the constitution of a director the the


okay uh <mandarin>没有不要没有那么夸张:mei you bu yao mei you na me kua zhang</mandarin> okay constitution basically means your role your the roles that you are required to do if you become a director


so one of the roles that the student life director has to do is to plan for at least one or two events, one of the event being the iconic engine day which is basically a day like a carnival lah for engineering students to come and uh come down to get free stuff lah I know you like free stuff cause you're poor


but but ya so it's basically an event for students [orh] <mandarin>给学生们来:gei xue sheng men lai</mandarin> uh learn err <mandarin>他们读书太压力就是来这个:ta men du shu tai ya li jiu shi lai zhe ge</mandarin> carnival come and relax lah


so she is required to plan for this kind of event, which and the event right uh let let me tell you lah it's a talent show, so she wants to plan a talent show, during COVID period


no other director has done this before, original is good but the thing is the things that she wants right it's a tall order, imagine what you need for a imagine what you need for a talent show you need microphone <mandarin>要人家上台表演:yao ren jia shang tai biao yan</mandarin> you need curtains you need prizes


I mean you know how talent show is what when you


okay something like that but the thing is this that is the audition period, so <mandarin>你知道:ni zhi dao</mandarin> normal talent show right there is the audition period, then there is the actual performance period, okay so err ah <mandarin>让让我解释:rang rang wo jie shi</mandarin> relax relax chill so
