like <mandarin>我回来很晚了:wo hui lai hen wan le</mandarin> then, then <mandarin>我过来:wo guo lai</mandarin> then I want then <mandarin>我也想:wo ye xiang</mandarin> you know finish up <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> daily <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> game <mandarin>的东西:de dong xi</mandarin> mah like the daily quest, then <mandarin>我又坐下我感觉到:wo you zuo xia wo gan jue dao</mandarin>


oh shit


I can wear lah but, I cannot close it like properly because when I close it right the thing will like slump upward so badly that it can go past the lens


(ppc), I then mine is mine is I if I want to change now it's like four years only I can change it damn time already lah I think it's time to change it also lah


need to get it need to get this done asap, [orh] can lah because my friend also applying for the same uh sponsorship then he ah he also need want to go and double check his degree also


ya, ya ya ya, but I don't know the #toa payoh# is which store already because you all changed a few times


honestly right now I don't mind going to any shop just to get my degree checked, you know because that sponsorship is very important


ah, (hmm) I just want to go one shop to check you know because I know my degree until now because I don't have to change my, because I can still see with my current specs just you know not as clear, then the last I remember I don't think I remember I told you what like one hundred to two hundred my degree range


what's your degree now ah I can't remember


if not right I just lean back like ah whatever lah, oh what is this I cannot see ah <mandarin>不要看就好:bu yao kan jiu hao</mandarin> lah ignorance is bliss


, (ppc)


[orh], and have you heard mummy buying me new chair, ya, ya ya I see like breaking already I actually almost off the chat now is spoilt already


(ppc), I think at least fifteen years already if I'm not wrong fifteen years, more meh I actually maybe more lah because ah #ah di# haven't come out when


we in this house already right, okay okay, mean, for one is a


right, , no I didn't I no time I actually no time to I haven't even catch up err sword art online the final one I haven't even watch that one


[orh] I I haven't finish that last season I haven't watch Haikyuu


I what else I I'm still waiting for doctor stone, ya ya you never watch doctor stone, okay, you getting a bit soft for me ah


ya, ya ya ya the the the start of the show they turn into stone then it break out then it's stone age doctor stone


I am waiting for the I'm reincarnated into a slime season two that show, ya season two yet, haven't heard season two haven't come out I don't think so


ya, (mmhmm)


you know I haven't watched demon slayer at all like, I haven't even started it I I know the hype is all about it but I haven't even started it


!wow!, I've I mean then you should watch doctor stone it's not bad it's really not bad, it's like comedy science, it's like you know the the the Iruma the one the into the demon school that one it it's similar to those kind of show doctor stone


a bit similar but it's just more educational and more science and more comedy lor


what cards, poker cards


err I mean, wait lor, I mean wait lah because I once I get my sponsorship I planning to go


somewhere, travel, so if I go japan I might go japan who knows, but its next year lor but must see how ah


I think I think ending quite soon already because from what I heard heard from HPB they told me lah, like they will continue opening the swab center, until they see one week without any cases


malaysia I mean malaysia mah I'm talking but I'm sure that japan is having a good hygiene mah, I mean I'm I'm sure japanese japan is handling it better than us right now honestly


oh I ya lah that's why I say must see next year how mah, because right now, must see ah, but it, if I go japan I might just you know buy the bullet train ticket then travel across japan like


stay like one to three days at this area then one to three days one to three days one to three days, you know get the most out of the entire japan lah if I can, my friends went there for three weeks I think they explore like half the japan already they just keep staying at this one location for like three four days


then they hop on bullet train, quite interesting because I I think they grant a bit more budget, actually not budget lah, they how <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> ah, they went a bit more pricey also because


some area they stay is hotel ah not capsule you know, ya, but they told me the food quite there is damn great, legit ten out of ten good


honestly it's not really handmade it's just their quality of it is, good enough, machinery made can be as equal as a manmade it's just that manmade is more traditional you know, but machine made can have a a good or equal


standing with handmade stuff it's just that, how to say ah, err it's just that the quality and, the quality of materials they use is good enough to the point where, you can't tell the difference between traditional and man and machine made lah


I mean family line lah


but honestly all of it almost fall off already because due to, modernisation lah, they all, they all like, wooden swords, like, a lot of stuff they don't I mean okay lah other than


dressing, and culture, the rest they don't have like what Samurai is a tradition what, but it modernized into, they modernized into they having policemen they don't need Samurais anymore what


that's why, and fall off lah most of it because due to modernization lor I feel, definitely not higher than us


err the booming the booming generation, ya lah eh it's not booming booming is for like babies, uh, I just say the the you know that the the year of where we have more seniors then


(hmm), ya ya I understand I understand it it's I I know the booming era is where a lot of babies happen, that's the only one I can remember because that that was the one that my teacher always say has a very big impact in the singapore society that booming generation


(ppc), oh those expensive though I rather you buy the official japanese one


the Kanji


ah, I mean right now the only thing I interested in japan is, honestly their, , how to say I don't know what's the term to use is it like


, okay you can say culture but, the stuff that they have their like how to say the goods lah like, , the way they do things and the way they have if if you go like


see like how, they are surviving, this pandemic and you know how they are normally like right it's so, for like everything is so tidy I won't use the word clean because


you can't use the word clean because when you see a rubbish on the floor everyone will think that it's dirty so I will just use the word tidy because judgmental people nowadays, all the karens in the world


okay I mean dub is not stupid dub is like you know, chinese song you direct translate the the chinese song it's exactly the same way as when japanese song you direct translate the japanese song


I mean depends on some anime some anime it's better in dub, because no no no some okay, because some of, the way the character portray themselves right some of the japan okay I'm not saying like a lot of them like a minority release more minority sound better in talk, some of the japan okay I'm not saying like a lot of them like minority a really small minority sound better in dub


, you agree to disagree, , (ppc) but ya these few days I also, I I want to buy some japanese like


how to say ah I want to buy I wanna buy figurines but our space our house no place to put though


okay unless unless how to say ah you know like our if our window is not so bulky right, !wah! I really can do a lot of stuff our window is so bulky that that metal grille that like faces inwards not outwards is disgusting


ya I understand where their logic came from but like, it's disgusting why is it inwards like it you know because it's inwards right the idea of like having the bed directly connected to the wall


like like you just really attached the bed onto the wall, like not get this like know movable then you can bring everywhere let's get a, just attach it to the wall, directly then once you hit the wall right you have some space to the other wall you can straightaway put a desk there


which is long enough then on top of that desk you can put like shelves all around the room, you will save a lot of space no kidding and it can still have this ginormous closet that we have behind us right now


I like no no the closet is good the closet is good I'm not gonna lie the closet is good, ya I know I I because


right now is because double double decker is single single bed mah not super single and single because, right now #ah ti# bed, is super single which is, honestly too big, because


both of us, single can already ah just that maybe you need to buy an extra fan for the whoever sleeping on top, that's the only issue and how do we mount the fan onto the top I don't know


ya but because once I get double decker I'm planing to get a longer table, then if I'm not using right because it's a longer table, then mummy buying those kind of chair right I can like you know if I'm not using because it's long enough right, I can actually move my keyboard stuff to the side and then let #ah ti# use as a table


because I'm getting something like what, like, ~ty eight inch or sixty inch, like in width lah not in uh length, then it'll be long enough for where I have one stuff one side to put all my stuff then #ah ti# can just like take <mandarin>他的弄不坏画画:ta de nong bu huai hua hua</mandarin> right can stay in the room what


or when I'm not at home, because, in a few years I'm going to go uh NS and stuff and I won't have much time to play computer already mah, so, investment is computer will still be there #ah ti# can use or when I come back and use then the table is big enough where me and #ah ti# can share


like, he I can put my stuff at the side he can use it whenever he want, you know, so I'm considering once my sponsorship approve then I will I will use my own money lah after I return you wherever I owe you then I'll use the like I will use a bit to get a table good enough for like


#ah ti# and me, ya


I already throw my all my secondary books already


[orh], I I mean like that then honestly just, get one big box right, or you know the you know the the the storage company that you see all around singapore I planning to rent one of those if you want to share


then, because honestly I have stuff that I don't even take out at all right now it's like like you know vintage kind of things, like, I don't even want to open up and display no I want it to be at home but I don't want to throw it because I bought it you know


those kind of thing so I, I might plan to you know like have one, of those kind of thing like a small one lah like you know they sometime they provide like a small room or like, a locker like like those you know safe kind of locker


ya I guess get those kind of small one then buy one box then you just shove it in lor, so if you want those kind of notebook that you don't use at all but you don't want throw then, we can share the cost lah then throw inside


ah ya maybe lor maybe, see how lah, [orh] what's that


, I mean, you I I mean in how I see the world right now it's everything is investment, where you want to throw your money in and what can you get out of it, in like the time to come


I mean easy way to see is you know lah normal investment <mandarin>你丢钱:ni diu qian</mandarin> into this company, then you hope that over like ten years time the value of that company will increase, then you sell the stocks, they earn the money


in this one you can see like [orh] I throw in two hundred fifty two hundred plus dollars, then maybe in two months or three months or two session or three session time I'll get this thing out of it, is it worth that two hundred and fifty dollar investment


then hold back lor hold back


[orh], !aiya! I don't know lah but see lor I, I also once I get my money I plan to like take out one K put inside a saving account, then just don't touch that one K then slowly let it build over the years lor


[orh] maybe lah I might try


!wow! !wow! not bad not bad because I right now if I can I want to try play stocks also but I don't have a stock consultant to talk to


because I won't play stock because like I listen to podcast you know, they talk about like stocks and stuff like they they play like those one day one, so you buy you buy the one day, then within twenty four hours they tell you how much you win how much you lose straightaway


so, those kind is very, it's like you play four D [orh], it's you win or you lose there's no in between one


uh but the point is sometimes when you lose right, from like the base is like, one dollar right sometime it will drop all the way to one cent, then done, ya then imagine you buy one one K worth of stocks


that's why I rather play the one day one the one day one is safer, you play the target one right you never you might never even reach the target and you might even lose more money, because one day one you just have to buy like err one hundred dollar oh maybe I earn hundred fifty dollars the next day


or I earn fifty dollar who knows, because those kind is, it's like what you you you, like !wah! <mandarin>姑姑:gu gu</mandarin> say lah you <mandarin>你放一块进去:ni fang yi kuai jin qu</mandarin> like, you you play game you also need to put money what right <mandarin>你放一块进去:ni fang yi kuai jin qu</mandarin> to try your luck to


it's always a win lose it's either you, you play to win, which is sometimes a big risk or you just play to


you know try your luck, which is, in stocks not a good idea lah, but in anywhere else it's not bad lah, ya


sell away all your collectible lah, all my collectible is all like, old and smelly Pikachus


I don't think anyone would want old and smelly Pikachus, you want the money , or you want the collectibles


, yikes, I mean defense lah I I these few years tempted to buy more you know league stuff, league league league of legends like that like their merch ah their shirt merch


the artbook !wah! damn nice they have one they have one the limited edition summoner artbook, oh my god it's all the like you know the four K definition kind of artworks inside the book, it, ya it's so good it's all the champions means a hundred plus pages with all their


it's so good but I don't think they sell anymore that's the problem, ya it's a limited that time they celebrate their don't know whatever then every year they coming out with like new shirts you know with their branding and stuff, honestly it looks good


some of the years lah but some of the years it looks like like plain old garbage grey colour, you you know lah sometimes they don't know what their marketing team or design team doing they just like oh I think this year grey is a good colour let's go with grey


ya ya ya, but mine you know that artbook if I'm not wrong it was like hundred and fifty USD, for just a limited edition it's a lot but, it's the the the images on there it's real good not gonna lie it's real good


ya hundred plus dollars for an artbook I I was I was, hold back because you know it was a few years ago, where were we


ya but whatever lah whatever it's all good I guess


(ppb)


okay okay oh ya #kor kor# recently right I saw on instagram got like all this like anime like they do all these planner thing then it's like coloured tint then <mandarin>我想买他的:wo xiang mai ta de</mandarin> stickers sia it's like damn nice but like sia expensive leh


err I should be not bad lah I see that a lot of people doing it even if it's not like a anime theme they got do like all the K pop stuff but cause of the conversion rate then <mandarin>就没有这样:jiu mei you zhe yang</mandarin> is not within their price or it's I think


should be like two plus <mandarin>到:dao</mandarin> three dollar


oh ya those, ya lah but then <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> shipping also eh that one but that price is excluding shipping that's why then <mandarin>我就:wo jiu</mandarin> like <mandarin>我想买:wo xiang mai</mandarin> then ya


true


, ya, I also recently I was like scrolling on twitter cause like japan stuff is like their main social media is twitter then !wah! all the new anime or Manga come out !wah! I damn jealous sia


cause both lah cause like especially like certain Mangas they only like have it in japanese then


ya but, expensive sia then it's also time consuming cause now I also learning driving then I still schooling eh, it's where to find the money and time


true lah but I keep seeing ah then especially got all the limited edition merch or like those like err first first err hundred people buy or some stupid thing like that then they got the oh special stuff !wah! then I also want sia


ya lah but recently I spending a lot of money ready then like I you know my err the card game I recently buy the here to slay,


I they got they already released like uh expansion pack sia then I want to get then I managed to find like a group of people to get together to save on shipping lor cause I still got some discount code


, ya lah but then is like I keep spending money cause like recently I also like previously I bought like a few games already then I still got


then <mandarin>我也是最近有一个我:wo ye shi zui jin you yi ge wo</mandarin> bought some chinese Manga !wah! Sian all my money flying already, , it's it's I don't know whether you are familiar it's called nineteen days it's not bad it's quite nice quite funny also


, ya that's why, very good then like I bought the, art is it called artbook I think it's called artbook then it's like the artist all his drawing everything !wah! damn nice I cannot sia I keep seeing people post then I was so tempted to buy then I went to buy


ya that's why cause I don't how you know or not I don't know I tell you or not like my part time job right they don't have the weekend one point five uh pay already, then they increase our basic, but the in basic they increase like


twenty cent, damn dumb, I considering already and I looking for job but, now very hard cause like school start also then like they all want like some sort of commitment but five days or like office hour or whatever then very hard to find or or or the location all like damn far


, ya lah I also like cause currently my pay got a certain amount already so I'm looking for like either, like cause my current pay is like, eight ninety per hour so I'm looking for like nine or ten dollars


and I'm considering not doing F&B do warehouse cause like anyway I studying logistic it's good to have some sort of warehouse like background lor then maybe from there I can also like take my err forklift cert from there then <mandarin>不用自己去外面花钱:bu yong zi ji qu wai mian hua qian</mandarin> learn


cause quite ex eh


ya ya but but the cost itself is quite expensive eh that one cannot cover one I think still have fork out money, ya


, <mandarin>终时我看到:zhong shi wo kan dao</mandarin> on the website is like hundred over dollar, ya


I don't know ah ya but <mandarin>就是:jiu shi</mandarin> like like that lor then, I also think ya lor then like I think do warehouse better lah cause my future like, I may not be doing warehouse but it's good on my resume lor


logistics lor


ya lah like it's easier for you to get the job lor ya that's why so I, I got look into like err, warehousing but very hard to find then I try to find at night one right but then at night they say must like at least what five days or stupid shit then I cannot commit lah even cause even though my timetable like quite little lah but


this semester excluding my major project I got four so far in total


yes everything


oh ya lah eight lor, ya lah ya lah but I also they also haven't briefed us yet so I also don't know like what to expect cause the briefing is only tomorrow


I mean ya lah but, I also cause like one thing is, I will be going U then like before go U also got some break so like I'm hoping like I can find the like part time job like if I really leave this company I can find like a part time job that I can still continue doing lor like because my this one I stick throughout my poly mah so hopefully I can find one that is like that also then like decent pay cause like my current one I taking already eight ninety right I don't want to go to another company and take what eight dollar then it's like Bo Hua cause I I got some experience or whatever


, , well cause leather lah leather is like that one will smelly one that's why, ya but I don't know ah I saw on uh fastjobs got a few the pay is not bad it's just the like commitment or like the working hours lor that I cannot match then it's like quite sad lah cause actually not bad I got see one like <mandarin>在我们这边:zai wo men zhe bian</mandarin> Sembawang eh it's some cafe thing but


what is the I think the commitment lah how many days will I need to work there then <mandarin>我不可以:wo bu ke yi</mandarin> sia,


true lah but I'm hoping to finish up school ASAP if I go U cause, another thing like to consider is like also my scholarship I scared if I take maybe gap year or, if I do take lah or I scared I take too long then I don't want to study already cause I already like working that's why


, true lah, ya that's right and like all the uni all so far away so I scared I cannot cope


eh dorms so not not cheap sia and it's a few K leh but I don't want


you know, and but I think I most likely I won't take gap year lah I will just like work lor cause, set aside money for us lah <mandarin>给我们读书:gei wo men du shu</mandarin> go U


ya, but I think even if you want to go NS by then eh what NS you wanna go uni then so


late already sia cause, you, bonded four years but you still got one more year of training means five years in the police force eh


I, true that's one way of looking at it lor but, some people like they not willing to take up this kind of scholarship is because <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> bond [orh] like <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> like they they want money but then <mandarin>他们不要:ta men bu yao</mandarin> stay <mandarin>他们:ta men</mandarin> interested in other things


(mmhmm), ,


[orh] okay, cause for me I'm interested in this the industry ah then, after studying and doing especially after internship I really liked what I doing lor I think it's what I want to do lah and


honestly like in this industry there's like a lot of what do you call a lot of companies that I want to like have experience working there like


like all these I wanna like, I'm most interested in working there, then lucky for me <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> internship <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> company a small company then and managed to like hands on everything cause some my other friends they go like <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> bigger company


, ya, ,


, , (mmhmm)


(hmm) (hmm),


I mean that's one the one way uh some people look at it ah but to be honest right like the logistic industry right, it's like I feel like <mandarin>不用:bu yong</mandarin> worry <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> cause, one side don't have the other side will have cause logistics is very big


every company logistics so even if I don't work in a logistic logistic company I can work in just a normal company as a a, what is it uh as a buyer lor I help the company buy stuff that kind of thing so it's like <mandarin>我这边没有克期另外边:wo zhe bian mei you ke qi ling wai bian</mandarin> so for me


that's also one thing that I took into consideration when I also enter like this course lor because I think it's actually not bad lah


, ya, oh ya, , no, no I haven't but, uh I I don't know like recently I saw another person they post


like their offer quite not bad sia but I see nobody buying, no lah no lah but I like I thought people would like like the listing will very fast like be sold because I like it to like see, like whether people buy or not but I see nobody buy also leh


so just leave it lor I will just leave the copy around lor doesn't matter ah will just sell it I it will eventually get sold one lah, cause


, ya because like, my that copy is a exclusive copy mah so, even if I cannot sell now I would I'm not scared that I it won't get so lah anyway, I also told you I gonna get expansion right


but I I won't get for the extra set lah but I will, cause my group also waiting for the card sleeve to come out cause they got the small card and the big card so we are waiting for a big card so maybe I'm consider getting the sleeve for the extra set also to sell as a set lor


and people more willing to buy also


, you know after I created the kickstarter account right then I'm on kickstarter so many games I wanna buy I really control myself already there's too many I want to buy already then some I just pledge like one dollar just to be a a backer but I don't get the game cause in case next time they got new game or they get expansion then like I got some privilege


ya that's why that's why I mean I mean not every seller maybe not every seller do that ah but you know you never know


, ya lor, ya, we eh today you went to school right or what


, you're eh everyday nine o'clock in school or what, wait you mean everyday you have to go back school you don't have online, !wah! Sian


, , eh I had to take two submodule this semester leh two hour on thursday one care one lit


ya you only in one point two what, that's normal, correct


I think persuasive communication is graded !whoa!, no no, CICT


, that I cannot remember but I, no CICT should be pass or fail for me it was pass or fail, so it wasn't graded, ya that's why, some is pass or fail you just need to do the minimum those graded one is the damn <mandarin>麻烦:ma fan</mandarin> even though it's like a few CU only


I I had a C for one semester I damn angry I all A then one C plus leh I was so angry eh


but how long but your form everything you haven't do then how when does it get approved sia


usually they do ah but if you want maybe, uh we find time go together cause actually my spectacle crack already I want to make new one, but I don't want daddy to <mandarin>费:fei</mandarin> cause I the specs only like one one two year something like that or maybe not even two year that time I I wanna wash my face then I put in my pocket then I <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> bend down to pick up <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> tissue then <mandarin>我:wo</mandarin> crack <mandarin>我的:wo de</mandarin> spectacle in my pocket

, no but japan also like they also got like long history so like <mandarin>他们的东西是:ta men de dong xi shi</mandarin> like pass down <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> then it's like, family like special or like this kind of thing


no lah one thing also like their their cost of living is also very high then like there, uh their, and then like their uh what is it what is that term cause singapore also have the older population is more than the younger population


ya ya ya like there's like (hmm), mah


I forgot what is it called as a term for it when like we're heading towards the direction shit, ,


ya, !wah! then !aiya! <mandarin>我不懂我以次发现我也是:wo bu dong wo yi ci fa xian wo ye shi</mandarin> recently looking into buying like like officially english Manga that it was officially translated so expensive


culture,


(hmm), , ,


true, true true true like ya lah I also I honestly like japan I I'm really interested in their culture and like, one thing main part also is like anime and, I really love their language I think their language is very nice


no


no I hate it leh I hate dub I think it just lose the taste of the anime it's like not as authentic anymore, no


nope I disagree, whatever


ya the that's the main thing I don't like buy any of like their acrylic stands eh because one thing is our house is small so no space, ,


but honestly right, the metal grill is good actually cause, the main issue is because the window already came so big, so the only way to put a metal grilles is to put it like that


, , (mmhmm),


eh but the closet good okay and mummy, eh and mummy <mandarin>要帮你们买那个:yao bang ni men mai na ge</mandarin> double uh decker bed <mandarin>了:le</mandarin> leh


(mmhmm),


, , , true, true true true


ya, oh ya then like recently right, because <mandarin>我的房间有那个:wo de fang jian you na ge</mandarin> bookshelf right, then <mandarin>我也是在妈妈:wo ye shi zai ma ma</mandarin> clear then mummy <mandarin>是有讲那些什么:shi you jiang nei xie shen me</mandarin> primary school <mandarin>的拿去:de na qu</mandarin> like <mandarin>你的:ni de</mandarin> ya either <mandarin>丢不然就是:diu bu ran jiu shi</mandarin> #ah jian# <mandarin>出去的:chu qu de</mandarin> oh


<mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> leh <mandarin>你有些还在房间:ni you xie hai zai fang jian</mandarin> but then <mandarin>我的那个:wo de na ge</mandarin> cupboard <mandarin>上面有那些盒子:shang mian you nei xie he zi</mandarin> her right then <mandarin>我分来讲:wo fen lai jiang</mandarin> !aiya! <mandarin>可以可能有东西可以丢:ke yi ke neng you dong xi ke yi diu</mandarin> but then <mandarin>我开就是我的:wo kai jiu shi wo de</mandarin> notebook then <mandarin>我又不胜的丢应为全部新的我没有开过:wo you bu sheng de diu ying wei quan bu xin de wo mei you kai guo</mandarin> sia


, [orh] ,


, ya,


, no lah maybe I will I will take them out to use when I when I finally decided to buy sticker then I can put together and use lor,


oh ya I I saw this chiropractor thing online sia I wanna go try but like a bit expensive sia, cause it's it's just a chiropractic like place lor then <mandarin>他帮你:ta bang ni</mandarin> like release all your tension I think but then right <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> consultant fee <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> I think is like seventy over dollar then plus <mandarin>他的那个:ta de na ge</mandarin> service like nineteen ninety dollar then first one <mandarin>就:jiu</mandarin> hundred over dollar but then <mandarin>我看到他有一个什么:wo kan dao ta you yi ge shen me</mandarin> student package five session for two hundred over dollar which I think I think it's counted cheap lah but the problem is that initial cost then


the also like for their package is like that big amount money


I mean true lah but, you know that's why so like, I got a lot of things I want ah honestly, it's all I want that's why I'm trying to control myself


to make to like prioritize the need first, like next week I going with mummy to do our eyebrow, that's another another hundred plus dollar gone,


, , or or you can consult mummy lor like cause <mandarin>她每次会做那种:ta mei ci hui zuo na zhong</mandarin> like savings <mandarin>的:de</mandarin> account where like you need to put money every month or every year that kind then it will like roll with the interest I think for me that's what I will do lah like <mandarin>我一开始:wo yi kai shi</mandarin> <mandarin>做工我有:zuo gong wo you</mandarin> like a stable job and pay right <mandarin>我就会记一致开这种:wo jiu hui ji yi zhi kai zhe zhong</mandarin> account mummy <mandarin>就是开之一直开这种:jiu shi kai zhi yi zhi kai zhe zhong</mandarin> account and that's why she got a lot of money eh


she like, I think I think it's a safer way of investment lah I mean the return might not be as high as those like stock investment but it's like a good and safer without like that time <mandarin>我听到:wo ting dao</mandarin> mummy <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> right at least <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> now


ten K eh, from one eh, ya, , that time I also was <mandarin>看:kan</mandarin> ago I I saw then ya I also like quite interested but I think it's very risky and like my personality I don't think I'm suited to play stock this kind of thing


I know I saw some, , , I saw also like sometimes they got advertisement is like you they say what oh you put the what your target then once they hit that target then they will like sell or whatever then you get that money that time


, ya, that's why,


, (mmhmm), lor, that's why, till now I'm trying like to find a lot of ways to like, clear things in my room and try to save up money try to find as many ways


like to earn money, I also don't have a lot of collectibles,


, !aiya! even if I do have collectibles right <mandarin>我哪里:wo na li</mandarin> set to <mandarin>卖:mai</mandarin> sia,


I will sell if I have a extra set but if I don't too bad I better keep the collectible, , , E league stuff


oh [orh], , shirt, , , (mmhmm)


, , oh shit


, , eh but T-shirt I think is okay to buy but artbook right I feel like can also buy like I told you what I I bought the artbook for the the chinese Manga thing


!oof!, oh, oof, that's a lot of money


, , , , , , don't know ah I always have a lot of things I want to buy my the things that I want to buy is endless and uh


, hello


ya what about it


his hair it's very long, his hair it looks very different from when I last saw him


okay I see, , then how has he been doing so far


oh is it, I thought I thought he was going to study, computer science or something like that


okay I see, he was good at math right, then didn't expect him to, pick up such a, arts related degree but he has a older sister right


okay,


okay I see I see


okay okay, then are you free any time these few weeks


okay <mandarin>很好:hen hao</mandarin> then you got any


okay then, to start driving a blue SG


<mandarin>说的对说的对:shuo de dui shuo de dui</mandarin> then <mandarin>你今天:ni jin tian</mandarin> got see the newspaper <mandarin>他们有一个:ta men you yi ge</mandarin> article <mandarin>讲:jiang</mandarin> that we should have more electric charger installations around singapore, what do you think of the article


<mandarin>可是有很多人说:ke shi you hen duo ren shuo</mandarin> they don't see the need for more charging infrastructure leh, err <mandarin>这种:zhe zhong</mandarin> charger they should just have it installed in their own homes, so what do you think of the feasibility of that plan


what do you think


have they put in place adequate regulations to ensure that, these startups err they are given in a sense a lot of room to improve or in a sense they're not they're not deterred by failure


because, and end up, the business the business goes under, so do you think our government has been providing adequate support these past few years


okay then, do you have any predictions on which industry is going to experience the most explosive growth


care to share


err she is responsible for the bulk of the viewership lor


and plus like she is well known for, all her huge performances as well as her stellar performances in her past roles, so that's why I feel, err <mandarin>这个戏:zhe ge xi</mandarin> hotel #del luna# is a big hit


oh <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> lah


so it's the same thing I don't like to watch shows for very long time, I only watched for awhile, the same thing applies to when I'm playing games as well, err <mandarin>那时我跟你也是玩那个游戏:na shi wo gen ni ye shi wan na ge you xi</mandarin> starcraft two <mandarin>我玩一下子做觉得很疲倦:wo wan yi xia zi zuo jue de hen pi juan</mandarin> Liao


err I usually watch shows maybe once or twice a day err maybe two blocks of one hour shows then after that I proceed for a break already, and plus I'm the kind that likes to uh <mandarin>看完戏后:kan wan xi hou</mandarin> then <mandarin>然后跟我的朋友分享我的:ran hou gen wo de peng you fen xiang wo de</mandarin> perspectives on the show


so I don't like to watch too many shows at once, if not I will forget all the important lessons


err <mandarin>我是觉得:wo shi jue de</mandarin> err, you have to focus on what you want to do fade from the start, only take the necessary actions you need to reach that particular step don't waste time doing other things that may not be useful


to help you reach that point lah


err <mandarin>我你你看的:wo ni ni kan de</mandarin> netflix shows


wait all these shows were released this year, oh I never really watch all this


but I didn't know they were released in cinemas this year, but I was thinking that err maybe one day if you are free we could go catch a show, but I'm not sure if the cinemas are especially the cinema at waterway point


not sure if it's open or


ya correct sia, anyway anyway speaking about anyway speaking our NEX err are you are as you as you will know err <mandarin>那时候我们在中中学时:na shi hou wo men zai zhong zhong xue shi</mandarin> used to go there very often with my friends, then made a lot of a good memories there


but I feel that their cinema really needs improving, and the whole shopping mall as a whole, we're very boring lor there's nothing much to attract people in the Serangoon area, now like the hottest attraction in the north east area <mandarin>是在:shi zai</mandarin> waterway point


okay I see


err do you think that will be moving into phase three soon


okay, businesses they are able to in a sense preserve their business model what do you think of that


okay, then what what do you think of a recently there was this footage of err <mandarin>我们的政府:wo men de zheng fu</mandarin> they were smashing jamus Lim in parliament for some of the statements he made about this minimum wage so what do you think of <mandarin>他的:ta de</mandarin> proposal


but do you think that the government should err, especially they like to blast the PAP saying that


they don't have like, err risk or they they never share the information related to reserve and therefore the opposition MPs, cannot make, err sound financial decisions, so what do you think about that do you think err do you do you think <mandarin>我们政府应该:wo men zheng fu ying gai</mandarin> more transparent on this kind of stuff


okay then <mandarin>刚才我跟你讲刚才我问你那个你的大学:gang cai wo gen ni jiang gang cai wo wen ni na ge ni de da xue</mandarin> have they send you your confirmation of your placing, because uh from what I know, so I was wondering if you were


err basically it's just for err returning NS men lor <mandarin>因为我们刚刚做完:yin wei wo men gang gang zuo wan</mandarin> national service, so the <mandarin>我们的大学:wo men de da xue</mandarin> reserve a place for us so basically you have to log into some online portal lah then like basically confirm your place there lor


okay


which book


err <mandarin>没有听过:mei you ting guo</mandarin> err you care to tell me more about it


okay, then our YouTube channel how, only seventy seven subscribers, and it doesn't seem like it's growing, it's so sad


okay that's true


but it's pretty cheap


[orh] <mandarin>我现在还在做:wo xian zai hai zai zuo</mandarin> circuit lah not much I think it's I think circuit is still okay, still can perform well lah like that day I send you that list of err steps


especially after you told me, you just do your staff don't care about the instructor because I used to <mandarin>很在意我的:hen zai yi wo de</mandarin> instructor


make err any wrong actions or wrong turns then he will give me a good dressing down after that, the feeling is just not good lor but I know is err <mandarin>是为了我:shi wei le wo</mandarin> lah


ya there is, but err most of my friends, most of my friends err, nowadays they like, want to go school and take manual rather than taking private, so any thoughts about that


!wow! okay that sounds tough, then err


okay I see, then I was very surprised that day when I saw that, a lot of our previous friends right they were actually from your school sia, like all those err from not from our class one like many be from the other classes one


the girls especially, then all go to your school so surprise, then maybe maybe your school is really like I don't know just


anyway <mandarin>我们很久没有去:wo men hen jiu mei you qu</mandarin> swimming Liao, (hmm) I didn't see any or I didn't either I don't want to mention any names lah it's okay anyway <mandarin>我们很久没有去:wo men hen jiu mei you qu</mandarin> swimming Liao so do you think you wanna get a swim soon


yes correct


!wah! actually I realise right that, I went when I was swimming in the pool <mandarin>我发现:wo fa xian</mandarin> that actually public pools they are really disgusting like, I already feel so disgusted at a private pool with all the, like the young kids kicking around


then I I really feel like some of them are sweating so much <mandarin>已经感感觉到非常恐怖不:yi jing gan gan jue dao fei chang kong bu bu</mandarin> Liao then still want to still thinking of all those times where I learn my swimming in the public pool !wah! can you imagine the amount of bacteria that I had to swim through


or or maybe when people discharge their stuff into water I've to swim through all of that, so it's really disgusting, I told myself that next time <mandarin>我们应该:wo men ying gai</mandarin> err


another thing is another thing is I also take issue, I also take issue with err the fact that a lot of people don't shower before they go into the water like isn't it a basic etiquette to do that


not not err not <mandarin>那些他们他们已经:na xie ta men ta men yi jing</mandarin> put the instruction very clearly there that you have to shower before you enter but many people still don't do that doesn't mean that err <mandarin>他们住在:ta men zhu zai</mandarin> condo <mandarin>他们有那个游泳池:ta men you na ge you yong chi</mandarin> is their property then they can do whatever they want with it what there's still other people using it so they should be more respectful


ya I just went because uh remember that day I went I reported sick at polyclinic


err <mandarin>我我我跟医生讲我的被有一点痛:wo wo wo gen yi sheng jiang wo de bei you yi dian tong</mandarin> then the doctor told me that there was a reduction lah in the disk space, basically <mandarin>跟我讲我变老了:gen wo jiang wo bian lao le</mandarin> lah I I I found it very hard to believe, because I've been eating very healthy these few days


then as still end up, but okay lah I mean <mandarin>你也是是那时跟我讲:ni ye shi shi na shi gen wo jiang</mandarin> swimming helps to overcome any problems


plus my scoliosis because of swimming <mandarin>我背后也变直:wo bei hou ye bian zhi</mandarin> Liao, so I think, the only solution is to just swim more lor to get rid of the back pain, maybe I'll consider picking up swimming in university also


not very sure about that but worth a try lah


okay lah I mean <mandarin>你说对:ni shuo dui</mandarin> lah but I feel that, err just like with any university club, err <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> club <mandarin>不会每个人都是:bu hui mei ge ren dou shi</mandarin> professionals what <mandarin>会有一些:hui you yi xie</mandarin> amateur here and there, and I think they will divide every club into professionals and amateurs as such


so don't have to worry so much if you are not a very good swimmer just go there for some recreational activity, but I think that swimming also err, damages our hair a lot


and I think it's cause of my years of swimming lor never take care of my hair, cause [orh] <mandarin>你我们我们游泳时我们常常都没有戴过:ni wo men wo men you yong shi wo men chang chang dou mei you dai guo</mandarin> swimming cap, so end up maybe some of our hair becomes damage


yup that's true


ya that's correct I, and like, track and field is, there's a total lack of team spirit there ah like seriously it's just


it's just err all for one and one for yourself


plus like, track and field err, I dreamt about studying again, and it was so painful like I can't imagine we go university we have to go through those four years of study again


we have to go through another four years of that I think Buay Tahan lah


err manchester united <mandarin>跟:gen</mandarin> newcastle <mandarin>是不是:shi bu shi</mandarin> four one, finally they are doing something good


<mandarin>对啊对啊:dui a dui a</mandarin> always loyal to the initial club that I supported since young, but nowadays a lot of people are bashing the club lah saying stuff like, oh the manager should do something, manager manager should buy better players and stuff


we we shall talk about this another day but err another I wanted to ask you is, err, err <mandarin>尝试过韩国的:chang shi guo han guo de</mandarin> cuisine


err I tried err Tteokbokki then I also bought some instant noodles from korea, !wah! super spicy but, but actually how do you make a corn dog <mandarin>有没有:you mei you</mandarin> err <mandarin>尝试:chang shi</mandarin> err try try making a corn dog before


ya


ya <mandarin>说:shuo</mandarin> that's true, how is your how is your sister doing by the way, for her studies


(uh huh) A <mandarin>水准:shui zhun</mandarin> physics practical


!wow! okay that's good to hear, cause my sister recently also finished her exams, then she come home cause she never get top in class for math or some shit then she like, err <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> sad lor just like sit there and cry at home, so I think nowadays seriously


kids kids nowadays they put too high expectations of themselves, she has a very strong sense of wanting to uh be better than me lor


but I feel that she's she's she is exactly like your <mandarin>小妹妹也是:xiao mei mei ye shi</mandarin> she just works hard, right and then she doesn't have much life skills intact, like she's literally just like studying to midnight every day, and I think that is super unhealthy


but I I mean uh is better than those people who, better than those families who, !wah! but nowadays I also see many many parents their


making their kids go for way too much tuition


err <mandarin>去小学:qu xiao xue</mandarin> P one, then there's the parents schedule like K two preparatory course leading up to P one


I mean it's good lah for those tutors a lot of money flowing into the industry but don't you think, society nowadays crazy man seriously, people the brands are just throwing so much money around but some more those parents don't even come from rich backgrounds, I see most of them they're just staying in normal HDB flats yet they're splurging so much for their child maybe it's the only child ah maybe I'm wrong


but regardless, the state of our tuition


can you see, the chat


no I don't really use TikTok err I find the app very time consuming ah, then you see they end up, spending most of their time on the on the app


err it's very disruptive err both for their personality and for their studies, is basically a new form of Instagram lor like, there's no difference in it just that


and in a sense the the entertainment provided by the app is non stop because it's just video after video and like there are so many new songs to keep up with so it ends up you can just stay on your device all day


err <mandarin>用这个你说的:yong zhe ge ni shuo de</mandarin> TikTok err <mandarin>对对个人来说:dui dui ge ren lai shuo</mandarin> is a super unhealthy practice, and singapore should follow the US in err banning this app from our country


okay err do you have any thoughts about it, err <mandarin>看我们:kan wo men</mandarin> in this modern day and age we have we're surrounded by so many social media devices it is endlessly competing for our attention


correct and like you see in a sense there's there's not much entertainment value provided by err real life things anymore everything we like is digital, err <mandarin>你的我们的政府:ni de wo men de zheng fu</mandarin> they should take more constructive steps


to ensure that, because, err even though, err <mandarin>你可以:ni ke yi</mandarin> argue that, this this digital apps some of them may be beneficial, because you see nowadays got a lot of food delivery and stuff


uh or or maybe that ya even having this zoom conversation right now, it's all possible because of, err the the digitalisation of err all these mobile devices but I feel that it's also unhealthy in the sense that a lot of our young kids nowadays


is it is it an application, is it an application for regulating screen time, err I think I have an app like that lah, but but I still think is ineffective because it's not as if the application imposes any hard blocks on your on your reading time


and there's also problems with such an app because you see, err, err <mandarin>如果我我希望在电话上读书:ru guo wo wo xi wang zai dian hua shang du shu</mandarin> then how how how how is the app supposed to respond is it supposed to ban me if I've been reading a book for more than one hour


so in a sense this kind of apps are also to a certain extent they have their own limitations [lor]


hello marcus


I think, we've never seen him for a very long time right


!huh!, oh I see


ya I think he hasn't cut his hair for very long time, the the previous time that I saw him, was like two weeks ago in camp, like both of us went to a camp together


I think he's doing fine, err


ya do you still remember his older sister, like, the oldest sister I think, I think she is studying in NUS


and hold on ah, I think, think the previous time he told me that she was studying, some arts related degree


and is a double degree as well


try to coordinate, and then we will have, days where we cannot coordinate, then <mandarin>然后我们就自己规划自己的行程:ran hou wo men jiu zi ji gui hua zi ji de xing cheng</mandarin> lor


I think he is more towards like


exploring, what he wants to do first, so <mandarin>不至于:bu zhi yu</mandarin> rush into intern that kind of things


oh ya I think I'm free, next week, I think next saturday or sunday, ya I will be free


at the rochor road there, ya so


it is, err kind of your license is one year and, valid for driving on the road


so I think we only can do it, then


ya I think that the article makes, it is a lot of, , care careful consideration by the government lah and I think it's a very, good initiative that the government should start


first because they should be the one like, err investing and leading this kind of, investments so that more people can benefit from it


not really sure how receptive people are towards, this kind of green energy because firstly is more expensive, although prices have been like more competitive these days


and at the same time I think there's still a very high demand for, normal conventional cars I would say, maybe more towards hybrid, this kind, so like they are more towards environmentally friendly in a way for vehicles to consume lesser fuel


but I think, more and more young singaporeans will be more receptive and, kind of buy towards this idea of, buying electric cars lah and towards the entire idea of


green energy itself


ya I did it was pretty good right


ya definitely ah, so, we are able to be more flexible


and more receptive towards ideas that, are a bit unconventional, and at the same time I think that the government is also providing a lot of help, so, I would say those startups are a bit more of


err


, I think the government definitely has provided a lot of support lah


then <mandarin>那么你就不用给那年的:na me ni jiu bu yong gei na nian de</mandarin> income tax, so I think this is a very positive way, and as a very positive initiative by the government, err <mandarin>很多的那些:hen duo de na xie</mandarin> grants


that this small SME businesses can also, make use of at the same time there are a lot of, small, venture capitalist firms, err venture capital firms


that kind of also incentivise, these start ups, to, be more daring in terms of their area of pursuit, though we have definitely have a lot of


way to improve this system or these, few strategies and policies ah along the way


a bit of the tech


the tech industry, and I feel more towards, the electric vehicles ah, while we on this topic of it, so ya


I think these are the two industries that <mandarin>我在看:wo zai kan</mandarin> lor


ya then do you actually like binge watch the entire series in like a week


oh I see eh <mandarin>你记得那时候我跟你讲那个:ni ji de na shi hou wo gen ni jiang na ge</mandarin> starcraft, how do you rush protos ah


so if like if I build one pylon then, did you actually follow builds


I think


cast in the cinema so


related to hong kong like movies movie scenes, ya so have you watched or


you are just like, only towards only geared towards korean movies only


ya you know speaking of waterway point the shaw theatres right recently the NEX shaw theatres just, had the entire ventilator collapse <mandarin>就是几个人就应此受伤:jiu shi ji ge ren jiu ying ci shou shang</mandarin> I think


ceiling <mandarin>掉下来就打伤了他们:diao xia lai jiu da shang le ta men</mandarin> then <mandarin>到现在:dao xian zai</mandarin> NEX the cinemas are still closed


so I guess we can only watch at waterway point then


oh,


kind of have a picnic or have a gather group discussion this kind


and like it, and, I think apart from that right, there are also many good food areas


cafes, like the spaghetti aglio oglio like around the Serangoon garden area do you remember that place that we used to go and eat there


ya ya that is the Serangoon garden area lah, and <mandarin>其实你知不知道到那边的:qi shi ni zhi bu zhi dao dao na bian de</mandarin> cafe, do you remember the one that we recently go to study there


I think it's called cafe, , cafe morning or something like that can't really remember also, but ya used to study there a lot


oh I think ya singapore government will definitely move into phase three by the end of the year looking at, all this committee zero transmission cases or single digit cases being recorded every day, for probably like weeks to come


and I think that this is a very good, thing that mask should also be continued to be worn because we still have like travel restrictions from certain countries though we have like certain travel bubbles


that we have set up with like hong kong and like, green lanes with japan


resurgence of infection


I think that, it's just the way like how businesses have to adapt overtime lah


they have to continue selling chicken rice, sudden re-occurrence <mandarin>的话:de hua</mandarin> or occurrence


I think they have to shift their focus into like delivering, or even like only enforcing takeaway this kind which has been done


and at the same time also can allow businesses to continue to survive, although there is a decrease in like the sales lah


this kind of issue is more political and, I think there are definitely vary


various, reasons to why they have to do certain things lah, but I think is a good move, as seen from, the recent general elections that more young voters are more receptive


towards supporting ideas that are, a bit more unconventional lah <mandarin>就像你说的那个:jiu xiang ni shuo de na ge</mandarin> minimum wage, I feel that it's a very, unorthodox concept though there has been like these progressive wage model


but I think we definitely have to <mandarin>做更多的功课:zuo geng duo de gong ke</mandarin> before we have to arrive at a conclusion


err <mandarin>我觉得迟早的:wo jue de chi zao de</mandarin> lah <mandarin>这种东西:zhe zhong dong xi</mandarin> you've got to give them some time to, kind of slowly release this data to us, and at the same time I feel that they also like you have nothing to hide lah because they are genuine nice people


ya, and


really I, oh I didn't know, I think I will check cause, so far I don't think any of my friends have received, but ya I think I'll check


it's a very important thing lah, what is it about


oh, right now I still don't know like how to even access the, SMU porter itself, LOL but I think, I will just take time to learn lah


, it's called unintended consequences, or, I think unintended impact or something to do with that one percent


equity, [orh]


actually is nothing much lah but I think is a very insightful book, that kind of like shows a lot of, inequality


GDP growth the problem, push to the top one percent of these people because they are the people who drive our economy also, so ya I think is a very nice book that you should go and try and read


err <mandarin>就是没什么碰:jiu shi mei shen me peng</mandarin> Liao


doing some online editing, and, responding to emails, and at the same time also trying to find a job


err I think, we just got to, work harder and produce more content lor, by getting so many more


subscribers I think, it's a good, incentive lah but at the same time is also like a personal hobby


I think every once in a blue moon though, I will kind of drive


to school, just to be familiarised with the entire route and at the same time like the confidence of the road lah, speaking of which how's your car test your driving test I mean


, oh that's good that's good


oh, but I think overall is quite okay right manageable because there is a huge difference between manual and auto


there shouldn't be much of a difference, but, if you go to school and take manual I think it's more of a technical issue


because every day or should I say every different lesson, you will have a different vehicle so the clutch control be different


and afterwards, don't really care about being private or what, but, if one student is about to con like one student is considering


to take to take manual I think he should give a thought about private vehicles as well, because private instructors, actually have the same amount of experience as school instructors I would say, and at the same time I think


they also stick to one vehicle and also constantly make sure that the vehicle is up to standard lah so you will feel comfortable with that particular model of manual car [pe] [seh], and speaking of which <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> manual vehicle


the, sloped balancing in the circuit


if I'm parking at the slope, it will actually roll back if I would not put my foot on the clutch properly, and that balancing point is just very minute that's like my major struggle for the circuit


, and also I don't really have the connections with him because we are like different schools lah


oh, , I don't really


and afterwards they can just like go home


many many, reasons lah I will say but ya, why leh, who have who did you see


oh, maybe next week also because these few days afterwards I'm rather free already


and, ya definitely miss swimming lah, those good days, where I can just submerge myself in the water


oh, actually


, err <mandarin>这些永队里面就是说他们要:zhe xie yong dui li mian jiu shi shuo ta men yao</mandarin> hit


above, a certain criteria, which is like in terms of timing like below certain timing for different strokes or do you think they will just accept amateur


ya I think, you also have to put a bit more conditioner when you shower, and I for me personally I also try my best to keep my hair short, so everytime you go cut hair, ya we try to keep it as short as possible so that


you will prevent, it from being, like,


swimming club I think, it's worth a go definitely, ya and as what you said, I mean there's nothing wrong being an amateur


when you contribute towards their kind of


achievements as a whole lah


ya, I think, is definitely something, that we don't want to, kind of, experience again lah, but at the same time, I think it's also kind of like good memory


definitely and ya track and field isn't exactly the best sport for me either, but I've been gravitating towards watching back football and basketball, so, do you watch football these days


ya so you are still a man U supporter right


sport so


there isn't any kind of individuality I would say or any kind of sheer individual arrogance that should get in the way of the team so like for man U I think, definitely there are a few big names, and I think they are still in a phase where they are integrating new players and can't figure out how it goes lah


but I think things are going get better definitely, then what about siri ah


first I recently tried that, and also the corn dog I didn't know corn dogs were very popular in korea as well


ya, then what about you what what did you try


using the hotdog and dipping it into a paste, or like a pre-made batter


and afterward they just go and fry it, the horn the corn dog inside also can have different things like cheese ham and even like squid or something and it actually taste nice


err definitely because all these tourist traps right, I think they're just situated in areas where


I feel you can literally get everything online and at the same time, it gives you a greater satisfaction to navigate through these rural areas and like truly experiencing the country's culture


oh I think she's doing fine but you know today is A level physics practical


ya and I think, she kind of like, okay


with the paper in terms of the standard, cannot finish covering the syllabus and hence they just cut it short and not teaching this particular topic and hence they have to remove it entirely from the practical


in which to me is actually a lot comparing to my time, and ya lah


but I feel that, there's kind of no choice because firstly like we're asian culture


a head start, and I think, it's a really, competitive environment especially last time


when I have a lot of tuition, and I think that after they re-schedule, this entire PSLE grading system, it definitely put a bit more pressure on students, and I think that


things aren't actually going to really change, because this entire tuition is a kind of a million dollar industry if you were to look at it


and expected to perform in exams and if like what you said you don't get top in class than people will be like discouraged


ah


good show I recently watched it also


, something that starts with S, I will forget what app is that


yes, yes it is


(mm)


okay I got it


just now I messed it up, okay so just now I was, and, and and let me tell you why


okay so, you know last time I had that old, uh uh the the old western western chef's knife long and sharp one, but then I was watching


ya then I was watching a lot of Youtube right and I was reading I was reading a lot of articles about cooking also, then I decided that, I sold my own knife, uh


it it was okay but I sold it to this I sold it to this guy from raffles hotel who he was a cook at raffles hotel, ya, correct I actually like that knife a lot


cause it was like a, it was like some limited it was like some limited edition japanese knife, then, three, I bought it for


then I sell I sell that time hundred plus only, ya, the knife was okay


the knife was in okay condition the condition was okay, but I didn't know the pricing very well, ya, not <mandarin>被骗:bei pian</mandarin> lah <mandarin>是我笨:shi wo ben</mandarin> lah


after that when I ask the this knife shop in outram park this knife shop in outram park called Razor Sharp, I think they told me you can sell for, maybe seven hundred dollars also can


yes, it doesn't have to be to the shop even on the even on Carousell see who see who wanna buy


second hand they said, maybe about seven hundred and can sell, I don't think the shop will will buy lah they don't really do second hand knives


if they happen to have one they will sell it but they don't really buy, ya, yup


that's what I'm planning to do the first one was a western one, the second one that want to buy is uh it's a chinese <mandarin>菜刀:cai dao</mandarin> you know chinese they have a saying ya that's why I wanted to buy also is is is a philosophy like <mandarin>一刀佐天上:yi dao zuo tian shang</mandarin> kind of philosophy you know


what kind of what, that's a common one


ya, uh okay I was I was thinking like this one, it was about four hundred four hundred dollars, well I think too much already so probably


probably go for cheaper ah cheaper style, but you have just hundred ya maybe hundred dollars cheaper brand


it will be sharp, , the onion


, no, wait wait, wait,


dude your code switching is terrible, , okay okay


I bet the researcher is gonna hear this but I bet when they hear this they will laugh


make that, okay no so


everything ah ginger, vegetables meat, that's the that's the whole idea use it for everything


, it won't be it won't be comparable to a ten dollar one lah but in the end in the end it's not really about, about how good the food is it's just about how much fun you have using the knife


same as a car what you you you buy a thousand you buy a Ferrari or you buy a Mercedes you buy a Toyota you you will still get there at the end it's just how much fun you have driving there


ya it's more fun to use, oh very different bro, ya


no, actually, expensive knives are easier to maintain than cheap knives


cheap knives also need to be sharpened, you need a stone for cheap knives too, if people don't buy a stone for their cheap knives, it's just because they don't know how to sharpen, it'll probably throw away their knife after it's bland and get a new one so if you are saying that one four hundred dollar wait let's not say four hundred dollar lah that's a bit too expensive


one two hundred dollar knife, is comparable to, five forty dollar knives then, ya sure kind of


(uh huh), I have no idea how to sharpen a ceramic, I have no idea how to sharpen a ceramic knife but, hang on ah


no, you know the <mandarin>棍子:gun zi</mandarin> is a sharpening rod but but but wait uh don't don't interrupt me our our recordings have to be separate, so so take awhile so we take awhile after we after we stop at to to for for the next person you say something


the, the <mandarin>棍子:gun zi</mandarin> is the sharpening rod is uh sorry it's not a sharpening rod is called a holding stale it doesn't, it doesn't actually sharpen the knife


so you imagine right when you when you use the knife you cut cut cut, after a while, and after after awhile the tip <mandarin>会卷进去:hui juan jin qu</mandarin> it will curl inside, it's not blunt blunt is like, (hmm) blunt is like for example uh one degree angle


becomes a rounded angle which has no degree, okay, uh then it's like a one degree angle, that is curled to one side so imagine your finger instead of your finger poking out straight it's just a little bit curve, and that affects the performance too


so what the what the holding stale does what the rod does is you just straight it just straightens that the edge again, so that your finger the blade edge is straight again, it doesn't actually uh


it doesn't actually produce a cutting edge, that wasn't already there, that's what the stone is for, so in terms of frequency right if you use a knife often say use a knife, uh once every few days cook you know to cook at home you probably want to sharpen your knife on a stone about once once uh


at least once every few months ah, once once every few months to to once or twice a year, and the the the holding stale the stale you want to use it every every week, maybe even every time


it makes a big difference lah


ya, one knife, once, that's it, just one knife


, wok have you been watching a lot of uncle roger


no way no way I'm telling


no, wok are cheap by the way, one wok


one wok is maybe, actually I don't know how much eh cause I I've never bought a wok but I bought other bought other, I bought other a couple of cookware before I bought frying pans, uh just frying pan is actually I bought a bought maybe about three frying pans


I have a stainless steel one that is about two hundred two hundred plus, and then, I have a cast not not cast iron I have a carbon steel one, carbon steel is actually a kind of iron lah ya it's quite similar


I have a carbon steel one carbon steel is very cheap, uh but is one of the best materials which is about twenty dollars, and woks are made of the same material good woks, are made from the cheapest kind of metal, it's just the nature of the steel


so they're maybe about twenty, twenty to fifty dollars, but, the main thing is no matter what you cook whether you are making, rice noodles, Prata, you will need a knife what the knife is the first thing that anybody should buy


and if you are not having fun cooking, which to me having a having a good knife is, one of the most important things if you wanna have fun if you wanna enjoy cooking, if you are not having fun cooking then you just won't cook as much


so end of the day you cook more if I I will cook more will have a nice knife, and a shitty wok than if I have a nice wok and a shitty knife


no it won't


uh cast iron is, cast iron I need to Google eh I'm not very sure cast iron versus carbon steel wait let me check actually, carbon steel, okay first right all


all cookware materials and and most most kitchen knife materials are all made of, uh actually iron lah alright, the difference between iron I think this one you know since it's chemistry the difference between iron or carbon steel or stainless steel


it's only it's only the carbon, it's only the carbon content, the more carbon, yup the more carbon the more prone to rust, the the the alloys


alright but in, wait wait, increasing the, increasing the iron content comes with comes with benefits also, like ah for example when it comes to a wok or frying pan it makes it more makes it more non stick


it doesn't become non stick right away, and but I it becomes non stick after you season it


ya, the the the the metal


yup, yup so !wah! I think I'm getting a cough hope it doesn't affect the recording, so when when when people say <mandarin>开锅:kai guo</mandarin> right what actually happens is, they take uh they take an iron wok


just a normal iron wok, and, they turn up the heat until it's super hot then you put oil in it, that actually makes a very thin layer of oil polymerise on the surface of the wok, on the surface of the pan


that layer of polymerised oil, will give the pan or the wok non stick properties


yup, oh, exactly


ya exactly but you can't do that to a stainless steel uh to a stainless steel wok, cause, it just won't work the there will be no colour on it you know I when when when you do it to your to your to your wok you will see it turn black right you will take it out of the oven at first it was silver now is black


yup, that makes it non stick but a stainless steel will always stick no matter what you do to it will always stick, unless your fire control unless your fire control your <mandarin>火攻:huo gong</mandarin> ah it's damn power


yup, (hmm)


!huh!, what what big round one the tradition, #le creuset# is just, it it's just cast iron you know


ya it it looks colourful and shit do you have one there, ya, it's just cast iron, there there there is it's not you thought it was some special material ah


, ya exactly it's enamel on top


ya, (hmm), yup, I wasn't very sure I was deciding between a <mandarin>菜刀:cai dao</mandarin> and a japanese the japanese like a japanese style one


actually japanese style is just the, it's a western one, I wasn't I wasn't very sure at first I was deciding between uh


japanese one a western one sorry I was deciding between the western style chef's knife, which is just a normal kind of kitchen knife that you will be that you will be use to


uh mix ah not not so much now, I haven't been cooking much actually


ya but it's not it's not purposeful cooking it's just bits and pieces that are lying around in the fridge, I'm I'm I'm not really not not really setting out to make a meal or anything like that, I've been making very very simple things like steamed cabbage I made steamed cabbage today


exactly like that


, eh wait you got buy STI or not


(hmm), I think now is around the time to buy ah, it's a ya it's a question of whether you think it will drop lower than two four, two four now is two five right


absolutely, other


!aiya!, I have no idea what air corridor you are talking man but I think, confirm will recover one what how can it not, it's a it's not a, it's not an unrecoverable event is not an event that will change the change the


change the structure of the global economy the lowest we went to was, two three two three plus not even lower than two three two three plus in uh february february uh when when COVID hit the hardest


then after that it bounce back up it it hit two eight, I knew it will hit two eight but didn't buy oh wait actually I bought, damn it, did I tell you I bought or not


after that, after that, two two four something lah two


two four five or two four four, then, then I got margin called,


eh it already make sense to buy it now, what's the


now is two five, two five


I want to buy both STI and sets, STI, STI now is two five I okay lah so so the way I you tell me what you think ah okay the way I looked at it right


is, I think it will recover to, close to pre COVID levels, okay to maybe two nine above three thousand, might take another year might take another two years


but basically we're in a recession now and recession don't come often you know, recessions are always ya recession are always a good opportunity and they don't come often this is not it's not like great depression or it's not some world war that's gonna destroy everything it's just uh I'm sorry to be blunt lah but it's just COVID man it will pass


in another three years four, ya in another three years four years economy will be back, so how much is it gonna be back to two point nine three thousand, maybe a little bit higher maybe two eight if you if you if you are pessimistic so now is two five it's already


I think it's already value it it it's really value for three years lah, okay, the question is whether now is the time to buy or you think it's going to drop a little bit more, so I think maybe it will go down to


two four maybe it will maybe will test two three, so you can wait you can wait a little while if you if you think that you want to try to buy at absolute lowest, but if you're but if you are wrong and it starts to turn back up, then then then you will miss the chance already ah


I will wait for both S, I'll wait for both STI and set


ya but I I can't buy I can't by #Hang Seng# uh I can't buy hong kong because, the CPF only allows you to buy with to to buy from SGX


(hmm), CPF doesn't allow you to CPF only allows you to buy from, uh to buy SGX listed stuff, I wanna buy with I'm buying with CPF, ya


but SIA I wouldn't buy, uh


cannot, cannot at all, they have a ratio they have ratio it's like uh, uh you have a you have a certain percentage I think it's sixty percent, sixty fifty to sixty percent of your of your investable amount


you can use it to buy uh, you can use it to buy, things like ETF unit trusts, managed assets ah, and then to a smaller to smaller extent about thirty percent


thirty percent you can use it to buy to buy SGX stocks, so so if you are buying sets if I'm buying sets I can only I can only invest up to thirty percent of my investable amount if I buy ETF I will invest up to


sixty percent of my investable amount and then ten percent you can buy gold but now but now I don't think I will buy gold


it went up already


ya but we're not talking about trading now mah we're talking about investing but if you were to invest in gold the time the time was, april april or march, after the COVID crash, you know you know how much it increased or not recently


went from one one three, one three to one nine you know now is one nine but last month it was two thousand


is great, no you went


the standards ya is the standard safe haven mentality you know but people were surprised also because it took it took a while for it took awhile for it to go up, when you know when all the markets crashed after uh when all the markets crashed in february gold didn't go up


it a lag behind for about for about a month you know I also don't know why it lagged


correct


we didn't I have a theory eh, I think the COVID the the COVID crash, was


it was disproportionate to the actual impact on trading mentality, when it when it crashed right I think everybody actually I I, ya I think everybody just panic to bid too much, I mean ya ya ya it's very bad and and when people getting infected at all but trading and investing is not about


ultimately it's not about, how, how will the companies are doing, that's a very big, that's a very big measure of things especially for investors, but if you talking about trading


it's just market psychology man how much how much people are willing to pay for something how much people are willing to pay for the stock when they want to buy it and how much the seller is willing to sell for the stock just demand and supply, of the stock


not of any product that the companies are are manufacturing, right look at all the stupid stupid uh uh, start ups with crazy evaluations but can't do shit


to me is similar, so


yup, that's where you will see a correction if it's not correlated or if it's uh speculated beyond, uh it's intrinsic value then when the correction when the correction happens it will crash uh


you know it'll it will will crash more than, it will it will it will just go quite bad lah, but this one you will know better what


this one, this one you will know better what you do you do your invinda value you do your invinda you do all your all your cash burn calculations and all I don't know how you do it one, ya


but I think the I think the growth that you are talking about now right the SNP and the other and the other indices I think that is a bit inflated


I think singapore one can buy, you know, hong kong is a bit


it's okay ya but it's a bit scary ah because of the political situation, what do you mean structural challenge


(hmm), it's it's quite possible hong kong hong kong has some hong kong has some uh like some problems that are very difficult to solve


hong kong hong kong and singapore are actually two very interesting case studies there's there ya started from similar places, uh but one was ultra ultra regulated singapore was very regulated and hong kong was very free market


with two ultimately very different destinations


ya, singapore housing market


I don't know eh, (hmm), is it, no I have no idea, what do you think


ya I think so I think so maybe they are seeing it as a maybe they are moving maybe they are moving their money into property as a way of investing


it's a way of investing ya, that make sense actually


not in singapore I want to buy one in berlin did I tell you


uh I can't remember the percent exactly, I think ten years maybe ten percent, no dude more than that


more than that wait let me let me bring up the chart let me see let me see, ten years, shit, ten years five five hundred percent


almost four four hundred ah four, three no sorry sorry three to four hundred percent okay, ya, amazing right


(ppc),


ask my, I ask my brother buy for me lor, he's he's in europe what, he is in denmark now you know


he no not now he got fired, he got retrenched, ya, yup, just resting applying for new jobs, and then uh he told me that he might get he might get a he might get a new job in berlin


or somewhere in germany, so he was looking at the berlin berlin property market he might buy a house there, in any case it's not it's not expensive leh


yup, not at the moment I still, we are still looking so I don't know whether he will end up in germany or elsewhere


uh eh but why don't you invest your money, you have, you have all your savings for you but but you never invest


okay you can invest in me give me all your money I'll keep it for you, I'll help you take good care of it don't worry, your monies, your money is safe, I'll put it to good use


uh, I will give you


I will give you more uh more job opportunities like this voice recording, so in in return for your generous investment, you will get uh frequent Whatsapp updates about about a random random jobs that I find online


it's a very good deal


I think, I think they're doing some kind of, uh school research research paper thing, this was from, this was from NUS uh someone linguistic thing


about code switching, ya


(hmm), (ppc)


why, why your chinese so cock man, eh you know


hello <mandarin>你在打广告:ni zai da guang gao</mandarin> ah, hello researchers, please allow us to give you uh one minute a one minute uh


and (ppc), ya I'm here but, what what topics you talk uh what topics, what you mean


eh then then <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> invest mah


you, you scared to you scared to let the researcher hear how much you have ah


you, you where got one million, hello


hello hello, (ppc), seriously why don't you, ya seriously why don't you buy property in berlin, you want or not


really ah, I won't help you do shit bro well ah but I can help pass you my brother's number you can contact him

(hmm), what what do you say, (hmm) uh, I don't have


but with CPF I can, to buy to buy USO, now maybe not


, ya that makes a lot of sense that's exactly what I'm gonna do, why would I borrow to buy USO when I have when I CPF to buy SGX


ya can also, eh no eh actually I was, actually I was thinking of buying in uh buying a house together with my brother


now can be singapore also, ya


that's why we combine lah, if singapore then you can combine, eh hang on ah I go and open the door you give me a second, hang on hang on


!huh!, he sold it ah, I didn't know, I only know he bought it

ya he's, (ppc)


, look at you smiling at the camera like an idiot, I hope I spoke enough chinese I hope I code switched enough


they, wait I I don't know let me check the guide, hang on ah, no no, no need to clap back, that's only for the start, ya


okay bye


okay, I think we can start talking now, okay


(uh huh), (uh huh), !wah! why you <mandarin>卖掉:mai diao</mandarin> your own knife


knife <mandarin>不好用:bu hao yong</mandarin> mah, !wah! so he gonna use your <mandarin>菜刀:cai dao</mandarin> to <mandarin>煮饭:zhu fan</mandarin> lah


!wah! <mandarin>三百:san bai</mandarin> become <mandarin>一百:yi bai</mandarin> how come the <mandarin>两百:liang bai</mandarin> difference you <mandarin>你:ni</mandarin> what what did you do to your knife


you anyhow go and <mandarin>敲:qiao</mandarin> your knife <mandarin>敲:qiao</mandarin> until push up already ah, oh, so you <mandarin>被骗:bei pian</mandarin> already ah


ah okay, (hmm)


but will the <mandarin>店:dian</mandarin> buy your <mandarin>菜刀:cai dao</mandarin> for <mandarin>七百:qi bai</mandarin> or not, oh, oh


what kind of <mandarin>哲学:zhe xue</mandarin> you talking about, what kind of <mandarin>哲学:zhe xue</mandarin> you talking about what kind of philosophy you talking about


oh, ya


but, if it's small <mandarin>便宜:pian yi</mandarin> then would it be sharp or not


eh <mandarin>认真:ren zhen</mandarin> you know we talking about serious topic mah you know the the <mandarin>菜刀:cai dao</mandarin> chop onion right, because you buy the <mandarin>菜刀:cai dao</mandarin> what else are you gonna chop, serious serious


eh my my speech <mandarin>很厉害:hen li hai</mandarin> one you know serious we talking about <mandarin>很认真的:hen ren zhen de</mandarin> the topic you know talking about <mandarin>的菜刀:de cai dao</mandarin> and the onion


well, so so what else what else you you <mandarin>砍:kan</mandarin> other than the onion


but <mandarin>有:you</mandarin> difference meh you use <mandarin>很:hen</mandarin> sharp <mandarin>的菜刀:de cai dao</mandarin> versus, the onion at the end of the day


the <mandarin>四百:si bai</mandarin> the <mandarin>菜刀有更多的:cai dao you geng duo de</mandarin> fun mah, the <mandarin>手感:shou gan</mandarin> different is it, oh


oh, but if you buy a <mandarin>四百菜刀:si bai cai dao</mandarin> then <mandarin>会不会:hui bu hui</mandarin> very difficult to maintain ah


oh


then now you got <mandarin>两个东西要:liang ge dong xi yao</mandarin> maintain, I think very troublesome mah <mandarin>不是:bu shi</mandarin> mah, oh then <mandarin>你怎么:ni zen me</mandarin> sharpen the cheap knife


actually, actually <mandarin>我有:wo you</mandarin> one cheap knife but


but I got one cheap knife <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> ceramic the cheap knife, how how how do I sharpen the ceramic the cheap knife, because


you need either the <mandarin>石头:shi tou</mandarin> or the, the metal <mandarin>的棍子:de gun zi</mandarin> to sharpen, right


ya, ya


okay


oh so <mandarin>为什么:wei shen me</mandarin> you use the, the stale plus, the <mandarin>石头:shi tou</mandarin> at the same time


oh, then


ya the wok I think one wok is about two hundred three hundred good one, alright <mandarin>两三百:liang san bai</mandarin> one wok I think <mandarin>比:bi</mandarin> the knife


really really much more value, you have the you have the cast iron the wok you have the ceramic the wok you have to stop the wok, got <mandarin>红色白色蓝色:hong se bai se lan se</mandarin> you know the wok <mandarin>煮出来:zhu chu lai</mandarin> the food I think it will taste much better you know don't you think so


it's going to be the same <mandarin>不会有分别的不是:bu hui you fen bie de bu shi</mandarin> mah


I feel that the wok is a much better <mandarin>投资:tou zi</mandarin> than the <mandarin>菜刀:cai dao</mandarin> you know, some more the wok, also


is directly touching the <mandarin>食物:shi wu</mandarin> you know, so I think really <mandarin>如果是我:ru guo shi wo</mandarin> I will have buy the the wok instead of the <mandarin>菜刀:cai dao</mandarin> by a cast iron wok


now like why don't you <mandarin>分享:fen xiang</mandarin> why why why you think the wok the <mandarin>菜刀:cai dao</mandarin> is is is much better than the wok, but wok


but your knife won't affect the <mandarin>味道:wei dao</mandarin> of your food, right, I mean the wok so why why <mandarin>为什么:wei shen me</mandarin> your wok, there's a difference between uh


why don't you <mandarin>说说:shuo shuo</mandarin> what's the different between cast iron and carbon steel


so, okay


you can't


oh, I <mandarin>听过:ting guo</mandarin> this the saying you know and when I my my cast iron wok I also use that, I put the layer of <mandarin>油:you</mandarin> on the <mandarin>锅:guo</mandarin> and I put inside the oven and I you know <mandarin>开:kai</mandarin> the oven <mandarin>火开:huo kai</mandarin> until two hundred you know two hundred <mandarin>两百:liang bai</mandarin> degree celsius


I see, so, why don't you say again <mandarin>你有多少:ni you duo shao</mandarin> wok at home, your wok <mandarin>够不够:gou bu gou</mandarin> for your for your for your purpose you know when you cook


how many wok you use you need the wok you need the frying pan, type of a wok


no, oh


I we have something, oh


I <mandarin>以为:yi wei</mandarin> is very <mandarin>特别:te bie</mandarin> one you know, but you <mandarin>原来:yuan lai</mandarin> is not <mandarin>特别:te bie</mandarin> is only is only cast iron and then they put the glazing on top right like uh they put the glass glazing on top and that's why the <mandarin>颜色:yan se</mandarin> come from


ah, you very sure you want to <mandarin>买:mai</mandarin> the <mandarin>菜刀:cai dao</mandarin> ah


why you don't you, sorry


can you <mandarin>重复:chong fu</mandarin> again


oh, so what <mandarin>食物:shi wu</mandarin> have you been cooking nowadays, why why you <mandarin>没有:mei you</mandarin> cook


a lot now now we all, work, if you <mandarin>在家你应该:zai jia ni ying gai</mandarin> cook more right your breakfast your <mandarin>午餐:wu can</mandarin> your dinner


ya, oh


right, so nowadays, what else have you been doing


STI, STI <mandarin>我没有:wo mei you</mandarin> buy eh, because I feel, I wanted to buy but <mandarin>好像:hao xiang</mandarin> the price very high you know like <mandarin>我觉得:wo jue de</mandarin> it will fall a bit but <mandarin>好像没有:hao xiang mei you</mandarin> fall eh <mandarin>好像还是很高:hao xiang hai shi hen gao</mandarin> ah very difficult


very very difficult you know you look at the stock hor, the stock ah, the <mandarin>价格:jia ge</mandarin> so high


uh I think it's two five butt I mean


I think that's true also, because now <mandarin>新加坡:xin jia po</mandarin> like is like recovering right isn't it they resumed some some air corridor <mandarin>的空中:de kong zhong</mandarin> the corridor with a hong kong with like some other countries maybe we will we improve


isn't it <mandarin>你肯定:ni ken ding</mandarin> make a lot of money


(hmm)


(hmm), !wow! <mandarin>你被:ni bei</mandarin> margin call so now do you still have anymore, or you no more already


or you no more already right now what's the what is your <mandarin>最新的:zui xin de</mandarin> status, what's happening since, but, are you going to go in again I think it might make sense to go in again I don't know if you


(hmm) maybe I buy some more now what is the latest price


two five, okay, then are you going to buy the STI or you will spread <mandarin>到其他的:dao qi ta de</mandarin> company


oh so you buy the whole


but you see all the <mandarin>报告:bao gao</mandarin> out there they all say that the <mandarin>飞机:fei ji</mandarin> the volume you know all its own is gonna take until two zero two four to <mandarin>完全:wan quan</mandarin> recover so, maybe now we are twenty twenty two twenty twenty four <mandarin>还有:hai you</mandarin> four years


four years, but also if you look at STI inside there <mandarin>有很多:you hen duo</mandarin> bank your Singtel SIA SIA I think, maybe <mandarin>不可以:bu ke yi</mandarin> maybe <mandarin>要等到:yao deng dao</mandarin> twenty twenty four before it recovers but for the rest like the <mandarin>银行:yin hang</mandarin> like the Singtel maybe can and also I think now you look at china also recovering so fast maybe


like you said, I think now, but then I guess now it has already <mandarin>长:zhang</mandarin> a bit already right so (hmm) are you going to <mandarin>现在:xian zai</mandarin> go in or you going to <mandarin>等一下:deng yi xia</mandarin> then go in


and also, and also, and also I think if you want to go in you can <mandarin>慢慢:man man</mandarin> go in you don't have to put everything


every month <mandarin>你放:ni fang</mandarin> a bit a bit slowly drip drip a bit inside, uh I think that one can, and also have you looked at other countries or maybe like hong kong hong kong I think


and also haven't recover yet maybe we can we can you know


which one sorry <mandarin>我没有:wo mei you</mandarin> catch you just now


how much CPF, so CPF <mandarin>可以:ke yi</mandarin> buy which one, only <mandarin>新加坡:xin jia po</mandarin> is it outside


oh


I thought last time you are the <mandarin>专家:zhuan jia</mandarin> in gold, you were saying you were very positive on your gold <mandarin>交易:jiao yi</mandarin> you <mandarin>交易:jiao yi</mandarin> until !wah! like


why <mandarin>为什么:wei shen me</mandarin> I thought gold you said as a commodity <mandarin>你要:ni yao</mandarin> trade, it's very good to trade, but I <mandarin>同意:tong yi</mandarin> in the long run go


not very good to <mandarin>投资:tou zi</mandarin> stock still better


maybe ah I think that's why


(hmm), oh I <mandarin>明白:ming bai</mandarin> because <mandarin>那时候:na shi hou</mandarin> like everything was very correlated so the stock <mandarin>下去:xia qu</mandarin> the gold also <mandarin>下去:xia qu</mandarin> everything also <mandarin>下去:xia qu</mandarin> but after awhile


because usually the correlation should be such that if the stocks fall the gold should rise the bond should rise but back then during the <mandarin>危机:wei ji</mandarin> or everything <mandarin>一直:yi zhi</mandarin> go down so you know maybe the <mandarin>危机:wei ji</mandarin> will come again but I not sure so now you see the COVID everyday <mandarin>这么多人:zhe me duo ren</mandarin> got infected


you see the US ah SNP ah


so uh, oh what is your what is your theory


but do you think that at the end of the day, the stock, the <mandarin>价格:jia ge</mandarin> also has to be, somewhat, correlated, with the underlying <mandarin>公司:gong si</mandarin> the


because the stock at the end of the day have to be correlated with the <mandarin>公司:gong si</mandarin> cash flow <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> mah


but how you observe


but how you how you going to tell


I think so also, uh so


so <mandarin>你觉得:ni jue de</mandarin> which indices not so and plated, you think the <mandarin>新加坡:xin jia po</mandarin> one can buy, ah, then <mandarin>你觉得:ni jue de</mandarin> the hong kong one do you think that one is good bad no can


I think that one still okay, but you think got structural the challenge


because the companies there you know <mandarin>整个:zheng ge</mandarin> political the situation


ya <mandarin>对:dui</mandarin> lor


the <mandarin>政治:zheng zhi</mandarin> problem plus the COVID, very difficult but at the same time you see ah the <mandarin>新加坡:xin jia po</mandarin> ah the house prices keep going up <mandarin>一直上去:yi zhi shang qu</mandarin> I don't know why


and you will do you have any insight into this problem ah


ya, because now you see ah I think the crisis ah


the <mandarin>有钱人:you qian ren</mandarin> become even more rich the <mandarin>穷人:qiong ren</mandarin> become even more <mandarin>穷:qiong</mandarin> so maybe now still have a lot of <mandarin>有钱人:you qian ren</mandarin> then now they see that you know good time to buy ah cause the price very low


ya I think so, !aiya!, but <mandarin>你要买:ni yao mai</mandarin> my property mah are you going to do it because I think <mandarin>你买:ni mai</mandarin> make sense for you eh you can buy one you can decorate it up you can stay


I think <mandarin>很好:hen hao</mandarin> ah, oh berlin I think <mandarin>你有你有讲过:ni you ni you jiang guo</mandarin> berlin I think it's quite good leh you show me <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> chart ah I think <mandarin>那个:na ge</mandarin> chart looks like the prices exploding ah I think it'll be even better you know


you see the price ah last ten years <mandarin>上去:shang qu</mandarin> ten percent <mandarin>是:shi</mandarin> mah is it ten percent that it went up by


ya, no worse, so ten years <mandarin>有多少:you duo shao</mandarin> go up


five hundred percent <mandarin>五百:wu bai</mandarin> !wah!, oh I see, so how you gonna buy you know
