if you fail then you fail ah, ya so so like attendance is like quite important but like I feel like if I go uni right I will still go for classes course, not cause I I I, not cause I'm like, ball out they don't care about that right like, but is more like


my results lah you know, ya ya ya, ya ya ya


uh ya


imagine if he could like cover twice the amount of content if he spoke a bit faster, I realise that when we sitting here we also like, Jia Wei other people you know eh eh talk shit about them you know like


but but is quite funny uh, it is meaningful he uses meaningful, ya


!wah! never think so far eh top three children names, ah ya ya


okay so so oh ya, oh so common nah, like Jay D, this oh there's variations one right, ya ya ya ya ya but what's the point sounds the same right


okay I give you a special name and you try to and and and, spell it if you see whether you can, it's absolutely ridiculous this name is called Absidy


that's like life ruin man like your your childhood is gone you know, I I couldn't bother to think about the names so I just gave you the five letters of the alphabet


!huh! yes ah was it, northwest


let's go find what Kanye West children names are, ya then the saint, then it's Chicago


Chicago eh is that Chicago west, his surname is already his family is already West so that's like half the


half of it already you know, eh Jurong West, eh that's at Pulau NTU


no no sorry that your's that's a bully already right, I always think that like, Jurong Boon-Lay and Pioneer and perhaps even Joo-Koon are all the same place, it's just Jurong in general form I used to think that, ya but but it's actually really Jurong


then Boon-Lay then Pioneer then Joo-Koon they are all separate areas right, I just thought it's the same place for years, it's like, like if you if you talk about Discovery center will you say that it's in Jurong


but it's actually at Joo Koon what, yeah that's why that's why that's why, and actually to us also, I also thought it's just all the same area no like no no it's like, within the same place there can be variation but it's just generally Jurong


for me last time but now that I I work in Tuas right, my my company is literally at the end you know if you talk about like north


no talk about East West north south right, the Tuas checkpoint is literally like, slightly, west of my company but north but five kilometres kind, I probably give up the what my companies already


oh no they open the map thing, they adjust the thing eh so you work here ah okay now you then don't get you fired, I mean I just do something wrong lah


but then ten minute my intend, I can I mean like first of all my responsibilities are not, that great in the first place I guess I think


as compared to some of the perm staffs, but like I guess I could get fired for the same reasons that the perm staff get fired lah you know just like intern lah, harassment or something


straight intern or a perm staff, oh man


because like you just there to help right you know like


ya lah I guess, I I I wanna see like how long it would take to get me to my company, if I take public transport


so getting to Tuas Link is far enough right, then apparently the bus ride from Tuas Link is fifty minutes, that is the end of the East West Line, I I take the thing I really (ppb)


wake up five thirty what time you want me wake up for work, no is those stupid employee got company bus don't want take, the pickup's at seven ten everyday


I will take a bus to Clementi or Dover then I will take the train [loh], one five four to Clementi seventy four to Dover whichever comes first ah but, I think I prefer one five four now (ugh) it comes earlier most of the days lah so I just take it there


apparently there's a second bus that comes at seven twenty instead of seven ten but err it's more crowded, cause it comes from boon eh Paya Lebar or something, so like if (ee) ya so if the bus is


no has no seats then, I'm not allowed to board then I can just go to work myself [loh]


no actually the first bus is not crowded at all, it's a big bus but like there is a lot of space, that's not my concern in the morning my concern is getting the the the seat next to the emergency door cause of the leg room, you know you know that that seat always has more leg room right


ya I always like, I always like Kiasu Kiasu one then I'll like just go to the, crowded in terms of public transport, when I can't move, when I like can't even walk you know


then it's crowded if there's space to walk it's fine, sometimes you know I'm when I used to stay at Hillview then I go to school I'll take the, last from I mean train from Bukit-Batok to Jurong East right there that was crazy you know that one I was squeezed like, ya lah but is quite I don't like that


so I used to think that train is better than bus but now I, think otherwise, ya lah that's the exception lah NTU cause NTU only one bus right


nine nine thirty, and it's on campus, that's sucks, but how long's your bus ride


okay but like, cannot is too far to walk right, how how far how long is the walk if you walk


if the weather is good then like anything lah, if is too hot then I won't lah


that is


go in front yeah, we're busting until the nine o-clock bus then, why cant you take the nine nine o-clock bus then


oh okay you eat breakfast ah okay, okay lah if you leave early to you eat breakfast then that's fine lah but if you leave early but you don't get eat breakfast then that's crazy lah you know, fifty minutes just within the campuses


faster what a waste of time right


damn far, they never time it properly is it, ya


and award all of who, but you use the bus lah, oh right right right, like that's like, imagine you miss those five buses and like


Shia how were you, how will you like, respond to this, dee this is what I mean by steal I don't know how to respond


as in like usually if, no no no is okay if its my fault but like


so maybe maybe she's feeling the same way also like like like right Kim, I guess so yeah yeah


alright, go at the cards, eh I I want to just be arrange it, by numbers just just to, eh you want to play ah, let's, let's see like


what what do you think the symbols and number mean, level of, why oh


but you no the the the number what do you think of it, level of difficulty, no lah no lah it's I I'm kidding, let's just talk about something


oh what, which school do you want to enroll your child in


K this is not our, student education that's the topic, K let's talk about, what's your plan for learning driving


yes, use your weekends if you're


sometimes you can't even book the weekends you know, but your, I mean you see your instructor ah see whether the instructor like, got other students or not, unless you


enroll right haven't enroll yet, ya ya (ppb), but I think school is good in a sense that there's a fixed curriculum so that you actually cover every, and like, they don't cut corners, and like I the school instructors are actually very professional


you can opt to, I don't know lah but like, but like, okay okay you see ah the, but for for theory and uh test right you get more


papers to books to practice, you only get one book if you're in private and that's like the same question means that, if you do all the practice for it you can cover all the books right, likelihood, end year of the questions that come out for the test is has become in the practice so you can learn from there


ya lah ya lah, but Beatrice this is the first thing in you talking about that already, oh maybe like you enroll in school then you finish the theory you switch to private


I I think you can do that I was thinking of it but like, I think I just take the school you know, ya cause, it's good to have a like a to know know where you're going you know like into the curriculum


where the cards, K so you say you wanna you might wanna quit handball then like when do you


the pet the the the the the cat, club thing what what's that what's the cat club what what what, it's call a cat club, cat management


but like, I mean like, okay lah you mean you just think of, when you look back your university life what, what would you want to have done


do you want to be like hype hype or you want to like do something meaningful


actually I honestly I mean I used to do the hype thing in poly right but then like it gets it it gets tiring, after a while you know like you like, sometimes being invisible a bit is like


but I don't think you gonna network with the the kind of people you network, oh when you go for this event is is not the same as like, going for meaningful things like like talks that kind of thing those are the cases you wanna do do do right


oh ya ya that's you go ahead do you think science sorry, ya good these are good ya ya ya ya ya


you you delete your emails, I keep them in my inbox leh, !huh! how much, tell me at least, few G Bs, that's more than enough for your formulas lah you know


do you clear your Gmail or use Gmail


or or but in as in your personal email use Gmail or, do you clear your Gmail also or, or are you the kind that have like a few thousand unread emails


so you have one one for like spam one for proper, just like my dad when he also does this, so I you know you you look at your Google Drive or like then you can tell you how much of your, fifteen gigabyte are being used right recently after my my semester I I cleared my Google Drive there's no files on it


at all, but I still see that there's like seven eight hundred M megabytes of of space eh but I think look like email lah so, I'm thinking maybe I'll clear my email next time, then will be like like empty drive you know, is cold use jacket


yeah you wanna sit here instead really really, switch ah, cause you're sitting on the air con you


okay okay you pick a conversation, spice tolerance


spice tolerance is, I think is like your drinking tolerance ah is like see how far you can go, wait wait no no no no is different though cause drinking you'll Toh, then your spice tolerance is high ah is not like a physio organ


physiological thing is is more of, how willing you are to go out or like whether you, as in like if, I don't think it's a real physical indicator but like, perhaps you are less affected by it or more affected by it


what else you think she's one of the one of, maybe you see how much balls you have to eat lah


you know I never really eat Mala, like I I've like my friend have let me tasted it but like I don't like the taste so I've never gone and buy it by myself before, no there's this herbal taste, no but like I just don't like it in general


and I feel like, I'm paying too much for for it, if I eat it, I don't eat I don't pay for it remember but I see how much people spend on it and like, this something I don't even like and I'm not going to spend so much money on it so like not worth it for me lah


so it's very little leh, even in SP there's a Mala inside, people can pay five six seven dollars, ya, usually order what


but you know if you think about it Mala is pretty just, #cai fan# but with the, like look at the ingredients wise, you're paying like a lot more, for the, is a is a fad lah you know, food fad like


like salted egg, oh the salted egg is actually quite nice lah, so like what what kind of food you usually eat in like, and you


do you hang hang out at like near the McDonald place, I used year one year two I used to go to NTU to like study my, so I go to this place that is near the McDonald upstairs there's some lecture rooms do you know with the hexagonal tables


err I don't I don't know , not so I know there's a room I used to go to


is like you just take the lift up and then there's like, tutorial rooms there, no is is lost but no


that area but a bit, off, then I have to go to a carpark, and then take a lift up, a bit ya a bit, okay you know the McDonald area then there's this like kind of like this shaded sheltered area where there is a supermarket there and then there is bubble tea


South Spine nah, then I go to the carpark over there B infront of the area then after that I take the lift up, then, then there's like tutorial rooms there, then there's study rooms there also


no is not is not the hive is not the hive, okay let me show you something ah my friend takes picture of the like, okay he he took picture of like, the the sky there


M I don't know if is NBS hold hold on ah, no not the full carpark is is in the carpark where I take the lift is this view, this NTU


you know this shelter have you seen this shelter before, this is the place where, like the supermarket underneath then this is on top


I really don't know lah you know I just, ya just, ya I just go there and study last time just like, quite quite a nice place lah, but apparently the ya the sunset there is pretty nice ah


this place, I think, I think is this place, around here around here, South Spine right don't looks like it oh, seems like is South Spine


so you can find more photos that you can recognise, I really don't know leh it's been so long since I went there, South Spine ah, really


you know any other people from like other schools like engineering student, or particularly chemical engineering


social science


NIE, wanna be teacher ah, eh but, Nanyang Business School is a very good, like if for business, but, their their, for business, how's Nanyang Business School like comparing for NUS and NTU and SMU


I heard their honours programme is three years, which is the the the selling point right, you get honours and in three years, but honours in three years leh usually people four years leh you know


with honours, actually what does honours really mean, yours is automatically four years right, direct honours, you get it


but [orh] actually I don't understand this honours system like can you go for a four years programme but don't get honours, like a four years university for undergraduate programme and not get honours, like you do so badly until you don't get honours


cause they always say first class second class second class upper second class lower, that's not honours ah, then, okay then there's third class honours then, (ppb) what if you don't even hit the third class, then do you still get honours, cause there's no forth class what right


that's why that's why I very confused with the honours system like what what's the point of it like, just a recognition is it, oh this one is GPA not not like rank


I no I thought like, for university is like you you it's not about GPA is about your ranking like only a certain number of people can get like first class then after that second class upper, you don't know ah


no but like like similar to a bell curve there's a cutoff like you don't have to hit the GPA like


like for example in poly diploma with merit is the top ten percent so even if you have a very high GPA doesn't mean you can get it, like so let's say if a cohort of hundred people, I don't know


ya but generally if you do okay you can get like, second lower at least right at least ya, but like for poly is the the the diploma with merit right is like the top ten percent, ya


I guess you just have to work harder lor I mean, I feel you really know I see ah I put in the, I think I really put in the same effort if not more effort than other people I feel like then in the end they do so well


damn salty no lah not especially salty but like, I'm not salty at the people who who who who who do well, because like they're they they but I'm salty at I'm only salty at people who don't do things and they get higher grade that's the only thing but, they're people who work just as hard as I work just as hard as them but they do so much better and like it's not salty but like


I feel like it's something wrong with me ah or something I'll be like, but I believe that it's it's not really the difference in ability I think there's something I'm definitely doing wrong perhaps


perhaps the way they they they study right, like maybe they doing things well or


ya ya maybe, okay ah just cause we don't understand it like, to that extent right


is just like crop that part out , eh if you want you can adjust the air con, you think can adjust the air con he's feeling cold


where were we at, okay uh, no no what are you procrastinating now


what's oh now is recess, I'm I'm procrastinating my, education and career guidance journal for my internship, you know it's due now is, week five over deal after weeks


bless your soul, have a good week end, or Sunday half of the weekends


what what what, K what are some like topics in psychology that interest you to, eh I want to hear about that maybe like learn something


social psych, oh I can talk about personality already have you heard of, process communication model, K so my my, my dad went for this course ah, process communication model so everyone has a


(ppb) different personality this this, this model teaches you how to, communicate identify and communicate with other people of different personality and there's a way to do it and how they react under stress that kind of, maybe I should search it up for you process communication model


so argue fought, either, I cannot sit on the fence obviously, so there's no place for introverts in this society, cause but plagiarism


but what is your friends stand on, on this subject that, oh what okay K K so I mean you're interested I not asking your to write an essay but what is your stand on that topic


definitely, no I think, depends on how you carry yourself also so, sometimes being loud and, eh what again sorry


ya but you could be a empty vessel, I can see some birds they they are so loud but then they have


nothing in there you know like they just eh and maybe at first you think this person is outspoken but you start to realize that this person, is just uh, he's just a noise maker lah you know


oh I mean confidence, then but, you you don't think that's a correlation, the fact that you, okay I mean obviously there's always not nothing hundred percent but I think there is a certain correlation because like


to be able to be like loud in the first place you got to be confident what right


don't tell me literally loud, I mean lah just try your best to explain I want to really want to know


okay ya, so you mean arrogants, I'm tryna I'm tryna to I'm like understand what you trying to say but like, like you can be confident of yourself but doesn't mean you have


express it out in a very obvious way, okay I mean, depend on the situation right when the time comes for it then I'm pretty sure you have to do it what if, ya, right


like if you are very confident then if you are truly confident about your abilities then you won't hesitate what, but if you hesitate then then that means there is this doubt in yourself, don't you think so


but, can that be blame really, okay how how sorry how will you define introvert when I think of introvert I sound I just think of someone who keep to themselves like all the time


oh K then then so different you know like you can be uh confident in abilities but don't feel the need to be around, like people all the time you know


so is this is this essay really science or an opinion, opinionated right, has to justify also


ya cause I feel like when we talk about this kind of topics it's like, it's there's really no, black and white like right or wrong is really how how you perceive, the the thing and and life in general really like, like people different people view it differently based on their experiences and like


and perhaps even their own biasness right, cause there's no like, facts for it lah cause, at the end of the day everyone is different like back to the original question you say, shoot what's the original question introverts


in the real society that we live in , it's not easy for an introvert right, but in the, society that, not all maybe some of us want I mean I personally would want like


everyone should have a place ah, but not everyone will think the same way so is a opinion


so you cannot you cannot have like, so is like you fight yourself then you like


so is like it further substantiates your argument, cause you really counter it yourself and then you counter back


but when you do that that proves your your point even more the fact you can like, ya ya ya ya basically like, is like baiting the enemy like that in a sense ya ya ya ya then like


human nature


you at paradise and what, so will you say that things like racism is will you say is a prejudice or discrimination


so do you think that, people in general, in the terms of like, for like race and had have and maybe even religion or culture like, people have prejudice in general


if you sorry like people subconsciously have prejudice even though they tell them self that they are not, because like no matter how


even if you don't act on it you still subconsciously think about it right


so if you don't act on the prejudice what's wrong with the prejudice is just like a


so the point is that like everyone is prejudice, within them self even though they don't act on it and is just


should I introduce you err, are you interested or, I I mean I don't I'm not the very knowledgeable about it but there's like, this process communication model is was introduced by my dad right so basically, everybody there is six types of personalities and


everybody has, each of it but, some people have more of it of certain and less of certain things you know, not not openness, so there's


there's this six imagine uh promoter rebel harmonizer thinker and promoter, so a promoter uh values values ah, so like if you say things like I believe know that kind of thing, so then there's the thinker who is like


very logic oriented right, or something like that yeah then, and then, harmonizer that care about other how other people feel, the rebel like I don't how to describe them all properly but basically is like


you get the idea right no so, the whole point of the PCM is to like, is you they profile you in a sense that like, you'll have like a proportions of thing then like you have then there will be one that will be your base, so you're kind of like


that is your base so then you can like mature and then like, get to the next stage kind of thing so, for me I am a base harmonizer, so like, err and my base I like care about what other people think, but then I'm also I've


phased into a persister according to my dad lah so like I, learn to take a stand for things that kind of thing but when people are stress, then they will like revert back to their base personality so like when I'm in when I'm in like stress situation I will go back to, a harmonizer and then I will tend to err like start thinking about what other people think about me how everyone feels that kind of thing you know


yeah so basically that's how, err the gist of it like you know, yeah but, the but the whole point of this thing is like


identify, what, what what other people are like what what is their their base or whatever phase they're in, and, how to communicate with them, effectively because everybody has their own needs base on this right and then


if you don't meet their needs, you will they will be stress ah and then, then that's not a good situation lah so the whole point is that you can , know what they need and then communicate with them effective from there, so is not really about, saying that uh I am this like that so people should adapt to me but is more like because I have this


not say adapt but like you become aware that people are different, like at first, when you don't know this you'll be, ignorant about how other people are, and you will, think that this person is just problematic, but when you start to know this and (ppb) you start to see


how people are different and they are just like this it's not like they are being difficult on purpose, (ppb) you start to realise that err people are just different and you cannot fault them for what they are, so for example me me and, okay my my me and my father are very similar and but, my brother is very different right so


and it's like he also have very conflicting base personalities and it's very difficult for him you know lah, ya so like, when we when we realise this like we start to realise that it's not that he's being difficult on purpose or something like that but like he's just, different you know and we have to start accepting that people are different then


with this we can start to learn that uh everyone is different and that we should not be so, uh I'll say, we shouldn't jump to conclusions about others lah, ya so , that's what the goal of this


is this the one that is due on Monday the trial


so you submit it but they can't look at it then what's the point


then just don't do it lah don't force yourself, I mean get something but don't force yourself, come out and push it you know what I mean


so what what module is this, it's a general education requirement


it's a university requirement


at least it helps for your, ya, can lah doesn't mean that that's a good, but at at least with social science right if is you can like work on, real issues in a sense


and like for this kind of very general modules but if you study something very technical for example like, engineering you cannot really do this for your your university required modules right


so is it a faculty or, oh it's not not a university, so it's a faculty requirement (lah)


fought for this, okay lah a lot actually a lot like those general education modules I also think a waste of time


I I really hated it so much like, I spend so much time on it for something that is so, I don't think I will ever use my life you know, but is is the university or like institution's way of like, saying that they have a how to say


holistic education right, err depends on where you go ah


UK don't have, UK is UK is like that but US is a lot of electives, so so like , they say that NUS NTU are supposedly supposed to follow the


UK system but then there's still this electives lah, ya this, what what what business module you take


but you know tech


that makes sense, but if you think about education right everything is kind of like that but like you slowly build up build up build up the layers right then, because you know the the the previous layer the next layer makes sense then


using that it makes sense but if you start from the beginning, the top layer won't make sense, is getting warm now right, ya I'm okay


I need to pee actually (ppb), actually I don't mind do you want a break, okay sure


can hold it


why do you need a role in a clique, no but since when do you need roles in a clique


I think that if there's there is like harmony in the clique then there won't be a need for people to have roles but, once you start having roles it's kinda like a segregation you know


what you want you want to study cliques, so why can't you study that like you interview people and, it more future project, ya


ya ya ya, as in you just ask yourself and perhaps you observe other groups uh do you see this, structure that you think that might exist


I honestly don't think that there is a real structure for cliques you know it's just


as in like, not in the like there's no role that people play in cliques but like, dynamics wise there are certain people who do more things in the sense that like maybe this guy is the joker you know what I mean, but like it's not really a role is just who that person is you know


ya, okay if you can classify them what, then what what will how will you classify like based based on what you've observed


ya, but that's also the assumption that this person's like this twenty four seven which is not possible right


oh social science is not bad ah but I hate writing essays, I I struggle to even write my reflections which is like five lines


you know you write write a, I smoke everyday (lah) really really


okay engineering course, equation, I prefer that because like, you don't need to have original ideas, you can , you just need to understand


ideas that already exist and apply them, like in in engineering there's like very little creativity you know for affection, like, even for when you are if you weren't was an engineering next time right there's nothing you really have to, to to come out with is basically industry's standards that you just copy and paste into your design


then like you just use [loh] because things that are proven and tested right, there's no problem with using that just use it ah but you need to be, but they just need someone who understands how to do things you know what I mean like not someone blindly blindly copying and paste that's why, there that's why engineers are strict but like


ya so that's why, I guess like this kind of things is, kind of expected from me than than being creative, social science you still need to be a bit creative right


ah you don't like that, K but but, you see when it comes to when you want to when like, do something opinionated and having to be graded that means


the grading is also opinionated what right, okay, but like, this is where I cannot, I cannot succeed lah you know I need to have like


it works it works it doesn't work it doesn't work you what I mean like black and white, ya, ya lor so that the stress, that's how I roll


is that the way it works, but is it the way it works


so okay ah so basically this is opinion then like why is economics a social science, like in the isn't it like factual more factual there, oh what's that


there you see psychological already there there that's, oh but if you talk about economics, by itself and like, what makes it, social science


ya ya ya, (ugh) true true okay you've a point there, so like I feel like economics got a lot of psychology also right


the trust one right that one


so how long, (wah) that's like one dollar per per minute


because economists got a lot of statistics right, you don't like maths, you you study the stats module right that's bad enough is it


do you have, uh but the math come in is it


ya, K university is interesting if you study what you want, you choose economics or is just part of your curriculum, your don't miss out the the stats I mean


okay I think psych, statistics in general is quite important for a lot of things like you know like because, as long as you analyse some sort of data you need it right


ya, even I T has has like statistics also, a business analytics also


ya , I until the course that I want, to go to an information system, but like you know


okay so, SMU right like any good diploma you can go to NUS, the school of computing, uh what was it computer science and, information systems courses are open to any diplomas also but, NTU they are more, stingy


with the diplomas that they accept for the computing course, ya, but the truth is I I read a lot of places that like the requirements to study like computer science is, is not but don't need any like, pre uh existing knowledge about about programming you just need mathematic uh a mathematical background


ya basically is like, any of the courses that you see, in Poly


there's no computer science in Poly but I guess there's a few there's information tech there's information technology ah, so guess price that's probably the the, ya the coolest thing about it in university they call in computer science more atas


ya ya, who okay let's see what else we have, you sure use cards or you just want to


it was quite late actually, uh ya ya ya in a plastic thing right


okay (yo), don't wanna think about it


okay you want answer this what's a deal maker, I don't know


what do you mean by same direction in life


sorry what what do you mean by direction, that's about it, so so while, I just wanna poke a bit more okay like what what do you mean by possibility of future like what makes that


possibility of future can be anything what also what is the, thing that you make you feel future possible


you never know right you know until you actually leave the person you know, this is what Ed-Sheeran is it, you know Ed Ed-Sheeran they have, Ed Ed Ed-Sheeran got the multiply


how do you want to be


if you know you will not fail what will you go accomplish, which are, first you have to define the failure right


that's why a lifehack right


you know you realise right you ask this kind of question to people and the answer they give right, really reflects like


or maybe if I if it's me I will just thinking logically that if I can't see the sea then you can if you can see the, sea mean if you can't see means I ya know what I mean, this, to me is, not that not the same to you uh maybe I recognise that and there's a simple as that


it's just logic


punch, okay, I feel like I've heard this super ego thing


so how do you spell it just I T, what the hell was that, okay sorry back to the I D uh I think it's more like I like a contraction I I would I


ya a bit lah, okay


then what's your ego


oh okay, so your it tells you to say then you


so the for you sleep reflects the it, so they're they're the same but opposite polar opposites


why did he name it it I still cannot, what the hell (sia), when you wanna come up when you wanna make something and name it anything right, like there's a ego there's a superego then there's a it


you learn this in school also


when did you last have a truly meaningful conversation with someone what did you talk about, are you not, not bad what right, so so what did you talk about a lot of things


talk about school uh talk about life lah I know, think of when uh with who


at okay, in NUS, what what what what she's studying in NUS


do do people who join FASS generally know what they want from the beginning, so why why will they choose FASS if they don't know like, but I definitely want social science and art


you see like, but I guess, I guess, that will be logic logicalised either you want that or you want something more, like Engineering right


serious ah, as in Science stream people you mean


so where do these Art stream students can they go to Engineering Science, really ah they can go ah, I though there's this requirement like you need H Two Mathematics or you need H Two Physics that kind


but I don't think there's any like Engineering program that, that, that doesn't require H two math, to be honest lah you know cause that's like pretty important ya there's like no Engineering course that doesn't require math


compulsory


like if you take if you're Art stream lah, because like if you Science stream is like automatically H two math right ya ya ya, no I think is not very compatible right like you need the


ya ya ya, but generally if you like take the Science you also like the math right usually, I would say, I think is to prepare you for Engineering if you want to go


like I said remember Arts has no not much pre requisite right, ya so, ya, basically you aspire lah but, so you like more competition


but you see you do you have more expensive like writing, yes writing you just have to get it right ya


I feel like my no lah I think, it needs to be like constantly practiced as well like you, you stop writing, it gets worse lah I I felt like my English got worse when I came to poly I think


like I still can I mean I I can still speak, err I feel like, it it would be better if I went to JC, like my English would be would be better


ya cause GP and maybe maybe H H one econs, just need to understand like


ya what did you get for A-levels again ah your rank points, that's that's pretty good oh ninety, what like what were your individual grades, and your and level of that of that subject


uh so English Lit, or E Lit history, uh then your H


but rank points include Chinese and GP and PW, right but then how does that compute into your rank points, oh then how about your but GP and PW does


no I I, I I keep thinking like what if I went to JC uh I don't know if I I would've even done well, do you think that in JC that , the discipline is there because


the lecturers push you also, because, ya like and you have to wear your school uniform you have to attend for classes right you don't have really much freedom but, there is they are still holding your hand to a certain extend right


oh ya I mean, no but but that's not the point lah the point is that like


there's still much guidance in JC right


that's why the B ah, no lah I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm I'm kidding I'm kidding, H two Econs ah, which is your favourite subject in


okay ya I guess so, the pressure is there uh right, is is it true that like in, JC like the leads right, in literature like you know you you have like books you have to study right it's like a Bible like that you


then like, I I I I know I I think I saw you know Shaun-#Lee#, then like he had , okay no that's not the point the point was that I remember him like posting on his story one time that


I think someone got bullied right then the literature book kena thrown into the rubbish bin, I I I saw then then he like want to write report to cause it's like, in literature if you lose that book with all your notes in it you're like screwed right


you can't write in the book, oh it's open book ah, oh okay, do they check your book, how like page by page


okay I see I see okay that that makes a lot more sense now like


okay cause like okay in in JC you get to bring your book in, I remember I was so miserable in sec one sec two when I did literature I couldn't bring my book into the exam you know and then I have to memorize quotes you know


right that's why, but still it's very bad, I spent most of the time memorising quotes, cause I just suck at memorising things, I cannot appreciate lah you know this kind of thing


stress, will you say JC or


competition, you you doubt of bell curve before lah your A-level was, was great of not curve also also, so I mean, you are finding the same people that, just finding with no us tho


think of it that way lah, eh so ninety points is all A lah, while put Chinese aside, okay I rest that


okay when I read the indicating grad profile they said that, uh for for GP and PW D I assume a C grad at A-levels, then what's the point of like, doing that the photo subject


but when you convert the ninety to ten percent doubt you assume the C what so, so technically no one has ninety point unless the course require PWP


but why why would you do that tho since it's like so important then why would we just assume a D just like that, for easier computation or, but that's that's quite nonsense occur because people work hard for that both module


just for it to be assume a C it's quite, like only certain courses they they they they state that you need to get like, they will look at it right I'm guessing like law will require you have a better grade achieve


as in like, they only show your three H two one A, one, for your I GP what so, oh and I I also have one more question lah I very curious like


those goes with four H twos right, oh okay okay okay, so basically


oh okay okay but at least like, you are playing with a, when we work harder but you playing with, higher chances lah, your worst subject even get hard and hard so that is assume to be the, less weightage on your grade point


but even you, you got it E the night, it's still quite still a bit hit on your, on your


rank points if you, if you like, is a big hit of your rank points even if it's become a H one, ya so it's like five points gone eh


yes damn it that's true ya you have a point, ya I was just wondering like what would happen if I went to JC


I'll take definitely have taken taken PCM


cause chemistry is the center science uh you know central science and is like it connects physics and biology, psychology is a science


okay ah, do you have like poly friends in, in your course go to what, how how are they in for this subject


like I want to know like how do poly students do in university in general cause, most of the, yeah you some of them you know personally are poly student


actually don't know it depends on how well I know the person [loh] like, like maybe if, current situation then I would, probably just go out and eat first and then talk I guess


that just normal, honestly no leh whatever whatever we want to, like do then just go like maybe maybe don't need be like so structure you know, yes spontaneous


no actually no no no not not for the current one ya, hey you leh it's here


would you have to explicitly say it's a date though like you just say like you want go out then just go, I do leh really like if you


if you think like of like progressing further with the person then you might have to say it's a date like show your interest I don't know


what you trying to say wait as in, oh okay okay fine


if I had money I would go like amusement park but I have no money so (ppb), I guess that's the only amusement park we can go but


never fun leh, it's fun so, I wouldn't mind it, movie movie quite cliche also but I mean


oh (erm), do you (ppb) , I have I don't have anything else to say but if you want to talk you can go ahead


ya you know cause you know like they organize everything like a maze so you all stuck there like forever only can't leave and then


I'm quite sure they wanna go in but they can't cause you're there so they just like hulk the space, cause I always go with my parents then it's like not fun to go there


no so far, still kind of far like the car journey is long so


ya oh ya going with parents not fun lah cause, they go with a objective not to chill, yes, yes I just decided to buy my stuff then it's, more interesting but no


I mean it's a furniture shop they have to what if not like if everything look bad then no one will buy their stuff, I think it's okay though


what motto do I live life, set your expectations super low so you will never be disappointed it's quite bad but , everything everything like


under promise over ya ya ya ya, I guess, oh (eh) no actually actually I feel like right for me right like when I tend to do stuff right like let's say


let's say recess week I got a lot of folders like stuff to study I will like over plan for one day, ya like you like maybe you have to do ten chapters then you plan to do like seven chapters in one day but you know that's not realistic right, so you will end up like


no you're supposed to do ten but then you plan to do seven, in one day and you know that's not realistic cause like, ya but then, ya then you will end up doing like, five which is already not bad what


as in like if you have like a whole week to do it (lah) then, ya then you plan to do seven on like the first day but then you slack it like it it gives you room to slack [loh] that's all


so technically I don't even really follow my own one, is okay , ya low expectations


ya, makes life easier, just come up with one


that's a very good question , I will probably say buy a dog but like, ya buy a house buy a dog, yes that's, okay but like if I'm going to be smart I will like invest


or save some, that is true, I guess probably, I don't know


am I supposed to know this now, I don't even have money to start inventing so


ya


as long as it's still high that's, kind of all that matters though, they can't stay there forever lah


oh then they die lor , if you could turn back time what is one thing you would have done differently


your dad asked you this question


probably I will use more my time more wisely like maybe I would actually like know how to drive by now if I, did not just, slack at home, after JC (oh) cause I had


I think about eight eight months, ya no I mean I was like doing internship and all that so like January to March was out cause, I was working like, and then it's like those like eight to eight to six job


I had no time but then after that I had time, no tired tired don't want, ya but I had time after that so I also didn't need to like rush it, I mean technically I did get another job but


that one also didn't last, which one, the first or second one, both (ah), honest no they won't they won't hire like, A level grads they want at least undergrads


I did try lah to get like those psych related ones but then, ya it's harder lah cause cause there will still be people applying for like winter internship and then those people who take leave of absence, to go and do their internship for six months during the semester


then ya I tried lah but they wanted, only undergrad then they told me to apply again like this year, when when I'm in Uni (ah), I mean I will try again lor but probably not for the December one cause, one month I don't think many places hire for one month and then like there's also not much you can learn lor


ya lah ya lah that's why that's why like I won't like go internship for December one, I will go in, next year the


I think they call it summer summer break ya, I think that's how most Unis work right no (meh), I like really summer lah, whatever whatever the foreign students will call it winter break


countries and then, I don't know but, it's easier to call it than like December holiday uh cause, cause technically summer break isn't like June it is June but it starts in May so, (eh) does it start in May I'm not very sure but


ya ya ya it will be about like May to July if I'm not wrong, winter and summer easier to say lah


ya I was lazy, actually I just want actually I just want to see the question can you continue talking so I can read them, wait wait I find that interesting one okay fine


is it interesting actually, (eh) I don't even know what I do in the present okay like other than just like let it


I mean is just interesting I mean, I a bit lah, oh this, actually like this like quite a lot of thing


I don't mind wait hang on I want to see all the question, if your needed answer is not me I will be like disowning you


everything is


apparently like you really start like, your brain starts developing like nine, ya so like nine is when you start having all the crisis and things like that when you think about the future like you don't live is like the immediate present


I think IP three I was already in


I don't know I just miss like the the just like living


like you just do things because you thought to like you know you think so much like it mean especially when your parent tell you to do it


I, honestly can't remember that I don't think having the rebels like as in like, don't do what they tell me to do but, our Poly like argumentative and all that but not like


what you do, oh-my-god


I can't remember actually she doing anything like that though for some reason, I don't think I would have


wait wait wait in primary school, how did you have the head, I think I did in secondary school


looking at the questions, do you want any do you want talk about any of them, if you only had one more year to live what would you change about your life now


this like the future like that like just what just now on Tinder, who wouldn't


can you imagine like they told you that you only have one more year to live but then after that one year they are like you're mistaken


how about you ask a question (ppb), I know I chose this question but I can't really think of an answer actually (ppb) (eh)


no I don't (eh) I actually don't yeah cause like can you imagine like you like like, you just read people's mind like unconsciously then if they are thinking bad things about you then that's just sad like I wouldn't want to know


kind of sad, is not even really denial because like if they don't tell me, I don't if they don't like tell me out right then if I didn't have that power I wouldn't


yeah I guess actually okay fine but, to answer your question I would want, either invisibility or like, teleportation cause


I mean is like, yeah mainly, like if you just don't want to like, I mean maybe in a crowded place you just want to get out of like you, can't so you just go invisible and you just like leave, like can you imagine I could actually like just leave training half way cause of that like if I if I could run invisible


ya I should but then like (ppb), what else am I do is like I mean, if if I can think of something like useful like do then I would do it but, let's be real I probably use like any superpower I have for like my own convenient


I wouldn't you (ppb)


no then then that's just like ya they're just a set, I mean okay I was talking about like the, very mainstream superpower oh (eh) wait wait wait no there was one like quite interesting one I read on like Tumblr that they said like


that you should have the superpower to manipulate probability, I mean let's say you want to make the probability of like you getting full marks without studying hundred percent and then


I guess (ah) but, don't ask me that was how they phrase there and it was interesting so I remembered it


oh maybe like I don't know maybe for you it's different but for me right sometimes like I can't make a decision then I'll be I'll be, like my eventual decision will be base on like, like reactions of people around me so for example right, I ask someone oh should I like, should I go home or should I stay in hall for weekend


and then maybe it will be like, how do I put it, ya ok so maybe if my roommate says, go home then I will go home but if I'm if I'm not sure that's the hundred percent outcome I want I might like, want to see it ok she will sixty percent there's a sixty percentage chance of her saying that she wants me to go home


ya but you know like when you don't want to make the decision you rather have someone like decide it for you, subconsciously ya but, that's when that you don't want to like


set anything in stone, yes it's like when you're unsure when you're okay with both options like


I mean I could I could always I could always do that but like is, if it's, ya but like, I mean but at least at least that also mean that I know what I want what you know, okay never mind this is spoiler


well honestly what what would you want like, what what kind of superpower like would you use to like make it not


wasted you know , (eh) you answer this no (ppb) ya, cause like everything I say you say is wasted I'm like okay


I mean like honestly all wouldn't all superpowers be considered wasted unless you use it on like something very like, impactful I don't know


it will be useful because I can't make decisions, what if you use your superpower make things interesting


like you become invisible then you just go around scaring people for the fun of it (ppb), that that that will be interesting what, how is that not interesting


ya ya there we go


I don't have time or energy for that, (eh) actually ya, no I guess I'll just use it whenever I want to like whenever it suits me


(eh) I'm not going like that will be damn pain but I will try to like try not to do it, I have I have morals okay , but I mean if you, if you know you won't get caught then, (eh) ya lah but I mean like the thought would be tempting but


probably, to do other things like scare your friends


okay I'm not gonna say absolutely useless like what if you are cold


but then (ppb), but it's like a very like like you can't do anything else with it, I don't think the will be coming back I mean like global warming or that so


it's more unlikely, how much money do you just spend on those anyway


okay you know what if I had like a very specific power like that I would like find some way to earn money from it, have you ever seen a circus in Singapore hardly, oh ya maybe you could just like start your own


but no one is really going to watch you like, ya (ppb), I will find some way to do it, ya, and like I'm too lazy to do any


that's the that's that's the most fun


damn it I was gonna ask you this, ya ya ya, I'm trying thing of like or let they teach me and I like actively trying to apply it but, so far I can't because I mean they generally tell me to be a kind to be nice to everyone but


you know sometimes that's just very difficult


uh same actually


good job, I don't know but


[huh] it's about the same as, you will shut that I haven't learn to like accept it yeah I guess, like especially the hard work and the don't compete with others thing, cause I mean like you know in Uni you also poly right you all have bell curve right, oh no okay fine


the I mean the bell curve is like a whole like, comparison system in the sense, yeah like, technically yeah but I don't, I don't see any of my friend doing like any like, underhanded stuff


I, it's like (eh) okay lah this like I guess like with my, my same course friends like I know I can kind of trust them, so it's not so scary but like the scary thing is that like you know like even though you study you might still not get like, yeah, like I just doing like I got A but then everyone else got A plus then I was like forget about it but


at the same time is like A is also like, it's not terrible but it's not, third in the Sanza, which one like your old


no you did not


okay please start the recording for him


you still have time uh, you still have ten like


what if you have super powers to make life go as exactly as you plan it to be, but it is a story you're satisfied with like why wouldn't you want it


what's the original question again, oh ya, I haven't cause I've been busy but I should


you want to next question or like, up to you, up to (ppb), then you should ask


I mean that's kind of standard answer but ya I can answer, I don't actually have anything to rant about is just like a consistent stress you know then like, you just, go with it [loh]


is just like if you ask me right then I will just say, school in general like, it depends (eh) cause like, if I feel stressed enough right I will want to like


ya is that, so it's that, ya


I don't know cause like I feel like, in uni right is either you get a lot of things done or like you just, slack, is very easy to just start slacking like maybe you can plan your night like maybe you can like you want do like, like two chapters but then all of a sudden your friend will be like, (eh) do you want go supper and then you say yes and you (ppb) then you go and then you return at like what


four AM, that's what happen last time, cause ya we all got this we started talking and then playing cards, but like, ya lor it's like very easy to get distracted


I think, I mean like you just end up lying on the bed like okay so there's this thing right where, I I like to study in my room I don't know how I do it because once I'm at home, I cannot study in my room but, for some reason in hall I can get somethings done lah


ya maybe that but then right so my roommate she doesn't like to study in hall, so she will like back around nine maybe, nine PM like after she study outside lah then she will come back, and then she the first that she does right is put down her bag then she will sit on the bed, then I will turn around and say hello then I see her on the bed then I will just like go lie on the bed


no my bed then (ppb), like you just like we say hello then we talk a bit then we end up like using our phones, and then so that when like everything just like, ya like I just get distracted, and then I just never go back to studying until the next day


cause the study will close what like but certain time cause she, she studies at like I think like the, our school building there, then like those those are open until late, but our our hall study room is open until two AM I think


not bad lah but then I mean she will have to come back one like like one time another, so when she comes back and then she lies down and I lie down too ya I just don't anything else done for the rest of the night


I usually try to sleep like one or like two because I have class I have class, ya I mean every morning I got class, ya but


ya but I mean I will try to, I will try to like usually stop studying like one lah, then I can at least like rest and then if I want to use phone then I will use phone


if I feel particularly productive I might be able to start studying earlier but, usually I start late because I procrastinate until late and then you see the time and you're like oh I better get things done and I used to study thing, ya it's bad but


it's when I get things done, ya cause I see like the day is like over already but I haven't done much, wasted and then so I will just do as much as I can in like one or two hours


ya that's true (ppb), no I study because I start panicking like I ya I never study because I have nothing better to do


I will always find something to do, you say only (ppb)


okay lah I mean uni is a lot more flexible and is like, your prof can't do anything, okay some will mind, I guess (ah), but, no no attendance at all


at all okay sometimes right the prof right they will just like ask you to do like in class assignment and, they will say it's just for attendance purposes and then you do it but, honestly if you don't do it you just lose like, a few marks only like what can they really really do about it and like they also cannot force you to turn up to class you know


ya but I mean okay it doesn't really affect me because I usually turn up for lecture anyway I'm a good kid I try to be


you should you should, you should lah, I mean some things you can afford not to go for cause they are recorded and then like sometimes some days you really like damn sian then you don't want to go


then you just, oh-my-god ya I have this like one lecturer right he speaks, damn bloody slow (eh) I'm not even kidding you know like, when you watch recorded lecturers you can do two times speed right, I'm honestly not exaggerating when I say that he's two times speed is normal speaking speed


I can I can show you later cause my friends right they all watch the lecture before me then they were telling me he is really damn slow so I thought, (ah) cannot be that bad lah but apparently it was that bad like I really thought they were exaggerating until I heard him


exactly, that's why I was like going for that lecture is a waste of time, they wanted they wanted me meaningful conversation each time this is really close to me


okay next question or no, oh-my-god ya this one I I chose this one cause I want to talk about like bad children names (ppb) , oh no, (eh) no cause right you know right I was interning at my mom's office right then she is early childhood right


so my mom ask me to do like data entry or like, count like the number of names, or like count count the numbers of students each center because some of them have really terrible names , that's why the thing is that like guess so like, that so like, modern and like trying to be unique that you cannot remember exactly why it's just that he look very ridiculous on paper


and I was just thinking like why would you do that to your child, oh wait ya I was counting the number of like Jaydens and Braydens and Caydens, ya so many ya Jayden is so common now, ya or like any remediation that countered it


ya because you know like you must try to be special so like, ya, I heard this before


I hate myself honestly , and why would you do that to your child right


cause like you know internship is really boring so I was just like, that show kind of stupid honestly, north is


I I can't remember but the other one was just really stupid, I'm quite sure one is north the girl is north, oh there's one more


ya like why would you do this to your child and like do you really want them to like hate you that much


no they are not, it's just far , it's far enough for you to think that they are one area lah


ya right


who new level a far


I don't think anyone will probably will add Google it's fine, it's fine, actually what you expect like can you actually get fire like


how long does it have to be for them not classified it as like, actually no you can fire over mistake right


yeah actually actually no someone know my internship who got fire there, the yeah she was working in the same department with my friend, intern intern, it's like I don't know but I think like if you get fired from the internship you must be like really bad


yeah apparently she didn't do anything and then like she got caught like watching movies like a few times like slacking, but then things is that we all slack it just that we all never got caught for it except for her, and then I think they I think the day that she got fire was the day she roll her eyes at supervisor


she roll her eyes and some super like and then, cause they not happy lah, roll her eyes like rude lor, yeah she was she was, I guess that, why she good got fire but, like why would you do that to yourself


just like a black mark (eh)


fifty !wow!, one day should try


can be like most dedicated employee, (eh) where did you take it from again, and then how do you get to Jurong East


what one five seven (ah), oh, actually what happens if you miss the company bus like you have to go there by yourself


damn far


sad, you know even though shuttle buses are supposed to be convenient it sucks and like everyone takes the same bus then it's like super crowded


actually what's your definition of crowded like people standing but there's still like space or like, ya ya or like bus lah, that's crowded, okay true


cause Jurong East is interchange what, I like bus but then I mean, in NTU all the buses are like super crowded


(er) no (eh) even the campus shuttle bus, like sometimes right like I think there was once right where I, like okay you have to like time like when you leave cause, you leave like maybe okay if your class is at nine thirty right, if you don't want to squeeze with people you have to leave by like


eight forty, if you want to be comfortable, ya because like eight, ya, no cause like eight fifty right there will be the bus will be full because, there will be the, oh for me it's not so bad


but okay that's why that's why mine is so crowded cause mine is too at the end of the line already, ten minute, which is okay lah but like


if let's say you are really very tired then you don't wanna take if you don't wanna walk then, and the bus is your only option then it sucks lah cause, I would I usually try to walk (ah), ya sometimes it's too hot also but anyway


ya so like if you wanna make it for your nine thirty class like comfortably right you should leave around like eight forty, so me and my roommate usually, like leave around there then we can go and eat, yeah but we usually go and eat (or) in that time but, cause the thing is right if you leave at eight fifty right


it would be all those people who are rushing for their nine AM class, then if you leave at nine right you'll be with all the people who are, going to for their nine thirty like those people who want to be early, then if you leave at nine fifteen right die already


okay for me I don't because me and my roommate go and eat breakfast first then, but if we wanted to I guess can lah but it will be, yeah but it will be crowded lah okay not not crowded to the extent we cannot move, but, crowded enough to be uncomfortable


ya ya, ya, honestly actually I don't mind lah cause I I I can just like sit around and I do my own thing anyway, I guess (lah) okay but anyway right I think there was once where I


where I saw the bus stop there was it was like really crowded but then I saw like, two buses right after each other and both didn't let anyone aboard, so it was like crazy (ah), then like okay I feel this other thing like the buses either come damn close to each other or like


ya it's like irritating and like stupid, ya, and then like ya ya oh-my-god there was once right when I was waiting for the bus right outside my lesson then I wanted to go back hall lah, freaking like, five one seven nine pass within like


I would say at least seven minutes (eh) like they just keep coming one after the other, no empty, cause like it leaves the school, ya it it leaves the school


that's just like your loss (ah) but honestly if you don't if you if you take one seven nine right you're not missing out much lah cause, there's so many one seven nines, and then if even if you don't take one seven nine there's, one nine nine yeah but one nine nine is the other side


I don't think it's stale cause you're still like she's still trying to talk about something is just that if you don't know how to respond is not really stale but, no it's not it's not I mean there's to be like a limit what like to how much you can


but I don't think it's becoming stale because both of you don't know what to say like she's still trying you know, yeah, I mean like as long as it feels unnatural don't like try it too much I guess


just do what you think feels, normal, okay if you're like that scared you can just like


if you see until interesting then you just ask (ah), family personal and then like relationships lor


what else can it mean , like this is my personal things like like motto and like the heart is like relationships then, what numbered


got such thing meh but this is just, you mean it's different sets I don't know, pick one


what a trouble no probably not


what do you mean what's a I mean like, I have to register for BTT first what before anything, and then I do not know I do not know if I want to start in, December after okay actually this one depends on when I get to do


but that's assuming I go with, right cause probably flexible correct, I don't know (ah) I think I think the first thing I just want to do first is actually like just


yes (ppb) before I do anything else, but you don't get to like speak with the same instructor throughout what


then you have to pay more right, I think it probably yes


ya okay that's true


that works right


I don't know like I mean, ya you just go around and feed the cats [loh] cause they're all like, cat management network they're not gonna they're not gonna call it cat club, I mean, I mean it's kind of fun what you go find animals and then you go play with them but


that's why I don't know like technically everyone like, uses like their, uni life to like, be active on campus and all that, not really, I don't know honestly


like cause I mean like if I wanted to do hype stuff right it will be because like you know like working life doesn't have any of that, so is like my last chance already but then but then again it's like not really my thing, so like why should I force myself to do it just to say that I've done it


that's true but you know the uni they also say that you must network and all that right, ya that's why it depends on who


ya honestly I think I should start signing up for all these like career like advice, ya like this, there's this like you keep getting emails from this thing called like, C A O like career admissions office and then they keep like advertising workshops but, ya I should right


but like like I have the bad habit of just deleting everything cause among all that right is like a lot of spam stuff, and then they all not relevant so like I usually just like, mass delete which is bad, we got, we got fixed (er) memory space


not very sure but, I think so lah but, I know (ah) but I don't really want to clutter it anyway is like, I just don't like cause like my internship right our our memory space is super limited so like I've also like gotten the habit of deleting stuff lah


is the NTU account what, E dot NTU something something, ya ya gym, no cause I don't really get Emails from there already


actually depends cause some like sometimes I create like one account just for like all like the, spam or like the advertisement kind of thing, but like the current Gmail I'm using like the more official one that one that one I don't like, I don't use it to sign up for accounts or anything, so that one is


ya, I mean it's organised what


good job (ppb)


no lah I thought I thought we have to stand up and switch the thing later lah later when she comes back, I wanna see how your oh shit


later later when she comes in then we can lah, oh ya I have stuff I want to tell ya what do you think spice tolerance is (ah), ya you know some people say that they are damn good at eating spice right, but then I was thinking wouldn't like the the physiological symptoms still be the same like you will still sweat right


but the no but ya is different, but then that for spice even if I'm dying I can still consciously like choose to eat if I want to but


no but as in like, oh so is more a mental thing rather than a, physical indicator lah what you're saying


that's what I was thinking also cause the other day we went to eat Mala and then, and then like I I I generally think my spice tolerance is quite bad but then I wasn't affected


and then right but then the next day she texted us and then she was just like (eh) guys you all got shit or not then like then then like, the moment she send that in the group chat right all of us were like no no no and then she was like she was like jialat (leh) guys , yeah that's why I was thinking like what is spice tolerance because like


when she was eating with us she was okay, like when like physically there she can still continue eating, that's why I ask, ya ya, technically everyone can lah like if you ask me to eat I would I can probably like take a few mouths but then I will die after that and I will not want


I don't understand the hype, there's no taste it's just, really, maybe cause I that's why no


I think really cause it's school, (wah) serious, maybe they order a lot of things lor


I don't know like my friend, I don't know I think it's I don't know I thought it's quite affordable lah, it's the it's about the same as I would pay for about like one person


that's why I don't understand why people like it, it's nice lah but everything salted egg is very weird


that's a very good question cause like, I feel like I always just eat from the same places, it's either my school building the Koufu there or, the canteen opposite my hall or I just get lazy and don't eat


no that's not like I don't have lessons there like, so I hardly go there actually


I don't know but I think I know I know which part of the school you are talking about but not the exact room, ya that means you were in lah, ya you wouldn't you wouldn't know (ppb) but the McDonald's the, the McDonald's is at area


now you're describing what I think is, not anymore but since you said there's a McDonald, you walk through the car park


you walk through that part


it's not the hive right do you know where the hive, I you have the photo then I might know, NBS, it's it NBS area


if you walk through the car park then you will end up around like NBS, wait did you walk through the full car park or, ok then


might be ADM or the art, maybe stuck, I feel like I should know but I don't, but I think is


wouldn't the sunset anywhere be the same, this is sounds time


technically that means you walk through the whole car park leh, cause the thing linking north time and suspend is the car park, okay never mind never mind but you are there south times, I think that's NBS area


either one lah I I can't tell which side your one


no no mostly I only know mostly people from my faculty, cause I mean all the lessons are more or less in the same place


from my elective, oh yeah I I mean I know like some people from business lah, okay no I only, business I have yeah, I don't know any other people from other school


oh I want it and I, that's one was people go there what


you kind of me this not business but, I think so ya unless you double major or like minor or whatever, so my friends are going to graduate before me that's


good but sad (ppb), ya (ppb) cause they, that's a very good question (ppb), I don't know (ppb) , here


you should be, I don't really either, can you go for what, yes


I guess you can or like maybe they will make like, actually I don't know about doing badly that you don't get the honours, that's GPA (or), it's still honours, (eh) that one I don't know


maybe just get like the, actually I don't know do you just get the degree and then like they don't say, (ppb) I don't know


I guess I know like first class honours is like four point five GPA and above, that's that's the difference between (erm) the first and, I think second will be four


I don't know (eh) cause everyone says everyone talks about GPA so it might be GPA might be rank, I don't know but I mean okay maybe like let's say you get like, let's say you get first class honours and then like, wouldn't your rank automatically be high if you were able to get it in the first place


like you know what I'm trying to say


well suck again leh like (ppb) bell curve again for honours, that will suck (ppb), I think as long, ya think so


why is it so hard to do well why are there so many terminator children, I'm trying


no I don't want to I don't want uh I mean like the people I know are really nice lah so I don't want to like be an ass either, ya but, you know like sometimes you know like you know some people are just naturally smarter so like the amount of effort they put it to get an A would be lesser amount


ya ya ya, I think salty right that they do better


okay lar I know what you mean like for me I think a bit salty cause I was talking with my friend they all like oh I didn't bother reading textbook oh okay like, ya maybe she study wrongly but then the thing is for that kind of


like I know that okay this is the the one that I got A and then my friend got A plus lah, this is the one that I know that like I wasn't even expecting the A honestly cause I know that, and like those kind of things just don't come naturally to me so I expected to put in more effort


so like when I got the A I guess I was kind of like expecting it, and I was like kind of happy cause I thought like I will get B or C even, but then I then I ask my friend the one who said they didn't read textbook and all that they were like oh I got A plus then I was like, oh that's nice then it is like how, like you kind of accept that people do better than you cause they are better at understanding this particular thing


I guess lah but that one, I can't really think of anything for this particular subject though cause that one is just understanding concept and like, if you are very clear about this you are very clear


like for me I think I know my problem is just I can't really apply it properly sometimes, is like sometimes you know the thing but then when you look at the question is like oh wait hang on


I like that do not sing sign honestly quite funny , aiyah only a bit lah


oh what do you think everyday study ya my essay (eh) I told myself ah don't do it during recess week but, I procrastinated for like two weeks already (leh) this is bad


mine still on Monday , I know , ya, I'm gone I'm dead, haven't even decided on my topic, cause like it's suppose to be argumentative then we are suppose to talk about theory


but cause we are sad year one students we haven't learn many theories to apply, so it's very hard to like think of a topic, especially cause (er) our tutor said that it can't be about, people


personality I don't know I I really like the topic on personality and social psych, which one are you more interested in or should I just talk about both


no I don't think


okay lah my fall back topic is about like prejudice then I will use like social psych to like, substantiate but the thing is that it has to be a argumentative so you have to have a thesis like for example, there's no place for introverts in today's society for example then you have to argue for it so it's not just like a research paper


either either lah, but then, that's just like that's my friend's topic when I don't really wanna write about that, no it's not really my


interest like I mean I'm interested in it but not interested enough to write a paper, I didn't ask her that


I wouldn't say there's no place but I would say that like, maybe they are it's possible that they are just tolerated, like like I mean like society would value those who are like outspoken and all that and you know how, you know how confidence is like always associated with being loud


like very out there, ya ya but like, they're just being loud very like outspoken like


ya ya but that's the thing like it's always mistaken like confidence is always mistaken for, usually what in life like in life you are not what you think


ya but like in relation to confidence, ya like usually people will see like if you're loud right they will assume that you are confident right, like that's the general, like, there is lah but it shouldn't be the only


ya, I guess depends on how you define loud like I guess okay when I say like loud right I mean like


not exactly outspoken but, I don't really she know how to describe, no no no not literally lah I mean that's always like a thing (ah)


okay I okay wait I can explain for the first you know like, there's like you know some people just like very self assured like they know what they're, they know what they're doing they're confident in what they can do, but they are not necessary the kind that will like really like, show it off


not saying that not saying that all the loud and confident people like to show off but, not arrogance


ya ya, ya so as long as you're confident you will be able to do it what


but I feel like you know like the tendency for people to expect that of, introverts is much lower, than they would from an extrovert, you know what I mean


ya not it can't be blamed lah but that's why that's why I would say that like introverts are not like, they're not exactly like, shunned but they're not celebrated either you know


they don't feel the need to be around people all the time, you know, but like if I were to talk about that as an essay right


I would also be focusing on the fact that like, that like I would I guess the focus would be the difference between, introverts and extroverts and what make, people like, have a different perception of what confidence is and


that's the problem they it's it's sounds very like for cause, no because we are social science what so the essay topic will be very opinionated but then, ya then we have to like find sources and all that and then this kind of thing is like a bit hard to find


like I'm sure I can like find if I want to but if they want to substantiate with a theory then that's a bit harder lah, like things like discrimination would be easier to find the theory on


it's just how well you argue lor


that would be like the ideal answer I guess but, ya and like okay no but for that one right, ya you also have to have a very clear stand so you can't sit on the fence also


you okay wait you're technically supposed to come up with a counter argument, and then you rebutt that, ya but it's okay so you don't yourself you probably like start your paragraph on there by saying, oh however some others may think that blah blah then your next paragraph will be


however like I, I disagree any explain why, ya (ppb) kind of in a sense like basically in a whole essay right like, the the bottom line is you cannot contradict yourself


and when you do you're supposed to uncontradict it (ppb), you can as you can see the other side but you like think it's a lousy point


ya ya basically, so that's why it's kinda difficult to do for social science cause like it's kinda half an opinion but you have to make it scientific, so actually I was thinking of the topic like can


you know prejudice is just the attitude right is not like the action discrimination is the action of like prejudice, so like I mean if someone is already different from you there will already be something in your mind saying like we are different, that kind of thing


ya I don't think I will write about discrimination though cause discrimination (ppb), I would say that I guess that it can be eliminated eventually but that it will be difficult because prejudice will exist


I guess it depends right if you if you actively like, choose to like engage in like racist acts then that will be discrimination but if it like (er), mindset that you like maybe let's say you are brought up with it right, then I will call it more of a prejudice because like you unconsciously like


adopt that habit


wait say that again , honestly I think so, like the sound degree will be like prejudice as long as some is different from you that's what I think lah


ya like if you acknowledge the difference I think that's, I mean like sometime you don't even know like that you have a certain attitude about something until someone brings it up and then you're like oh ya I do think that way


that's why that's why it's like that's why my arguments probably gonna be that, it can't be eliminated because of this lah, like it's just a unconscious thing


and then I guess I will have to like no one sit into sink then like I'm not saying that it's good but it, ya like one stay at the becomes a discrimination then


I don't really wanna bring that term in cause then I have to talk about it and then there's more thing to write (ppb) , honestly I just stole this questions from like my GP paper, but like I mean aiyah I don't want to use it because I've done it before


no they can't lah technically they can't and, but I mean I feel like I should try to talk about something like that's newer, that's why I talk of the personality thing but I can't think of like a fixed topic or something that's arguable, actually ya I did think of one like


cause you know there's like different personality types right and all that, I don't mind


in different degree, she this sound familiar but I only learn about five, yeah openness (erm), oh no openness okay then different (ah)


never mind lah I I get the idea


yeah you know it this kind of thing like that interesting but then to formulate like, argument out of them especially when like I don't know that much yet about side is quite hard


you adapting to other people


I don't know I still don't have a topic okay but if I do think of one I might try to use that (ah) like, talking about individual differences, thinking of, okay no, is just a draft so I can honestly just any how whack (ah) and then (ppb)


ya my tutors also technically can't look at it, I don't know it's very stupid right they ask us to do a draft but they're not allowed to look at it to make it fair for everyone, I don't even know if we are submitting it cause the last time we did a draft it was just pure review


no lah I should still at least do something about it, ya, see might not the topics though, I guess


okay lah so like actually my tutor said you don't need to stick to your major but then, I was thinking I should just do it because I will still have to write papers next time, ya cause actually, some stupid writing lah, ya then they just like made you do it (lor)


to learn how to write papers then, all the other tutors are very strict about following sticking to something from your major but my tutor doesn't care she just said you can write about anything, as long, then she said as long as it's a argumentative thing, so ya at first I wanted to like other topic


but then, I thought should just stick to like my major then, if I ever want to right like apply for internship I can say I've done like a paper on this this or like that, ya like it's not completely unrelated


is just that I don't know a lot of things so is also hard to come up, ya is interesting uh


but I don't think like they the other courses have this is just that we have it cause we are social science and we are expected to write, faculty, is not is not, I mean, it is a university requirement for my faculty so ya


I'm not sure ya I don't think other friends have to take it though, they will have their own requirement thing, but ours is the writing one and it's, I know I just feel like this kind of thing is kind of hard cause like the tutorials are like


waste of time in my opinion because, yeah it's like how you can't just teach someone how to write it's either you can or you can't like the most you can give us like the format the structure few tips but, wasting whole tutorials like on it it just to be in my opinion


so at least you get it or you don't


I don't know because like as far as I know overseas university don't have this kind of nonsense lah, it depends but generally I don't think this is a very enforce thing lah (eh) you know like my friend lah she went UK and then, she doesn't, yeah you care doesn't they don't need to take elective or anything leh they just focus on your middle of the way which is


and then they are forcing us they are forcing us to take like business mode also leh and then like, I am so bad at my business mine it's sound of like as it waste, it's I


innovation and technology, the thing is that right that kind of thing right it's like very, common sense if you think about it but you won't actively like consciously think about it unless someone tell you, yeah so like the end I also don't really know how to study for it so I'm just going to weck lah yeah honestly


that's true


I'm okay lah you okay, okay okay, it's too hot just that mean no uh, are we saw there is a break


as she know (eh) I just want to like to end and go , but your all urgent right, yes , oh yeah so my other topic was about like I was thinking like


I just now she small like a like it came from like personal agenda thing cause, like you know Uni everyone have like new friend and all that so I was thinking it there ever subjecting as like the, a so called like perfect trick, you know, like one where every person like has a so called role in it


no just thinking like is it possible that something like that exist is there ever such like a so called formula but then, don't you like how like in like maybe maybe cause like, how media portrays it but there's always like the very like


there's always the mom or the dad friend and then there's like the, I mean like, ya but I was just thinking is it possible for something like that to exist and then


I don't really but it's a interesting topic to me but honestly there's like no literature study on that so, I mean it's interesting it's like social dynamics what group dynamics all that social psychology


I mean it's possible (lah) then maybe FYP if I do well enough, but ya that's what I was thinking like of course I don't think like there should be like a so called fixed formula for like a, perfect team but


I'm sure of fine groups but it exist in fine groups where it doesn't exist like, okay in real life I can already like I mean it it's common sense you realise you know that this kind of thing doesn't fit exactly, into what you expect


if you get along you get along


I guess but, if you so called went to classified them into those kind of roles and, ya if you can (lah) but


like in real life us I I mean I just feel like in real life that you can't like fix people into, categories like that, but that in some people it's just very obvious so like you can like tell already, ya


I guess, that's why I was thinking it's a interesting topic then you can actually see, I think it's okay as long as I know what to write and how to write it


I know there was like one I don't know I like the previous assignment the previous assignment is just observational you just write about whatever you see, I can help you smoke something out


it's fine as long as no one can tell that you are, smoking it's fine, but do you have it (eh) wait do you still have to write thesis for your like when you're in poly, weren't you lucky, that one still we write though


one thing I cannot write


I guess but I like it cause there is no right or wrong as long as they're like, as long as you just write properly lor, you should be able to do right alright, that's why I don't like MCQ, cause there's always one right answer and like, and then, ya and then it's I can't, like maybe it's open ended and then I can write about why I think this is a certain answer


then maybe I will get like I don't know symphony mark but then, and this is where I would trust that my marker is very objective


because maybe when markers mark essays right they don't look at like your


content per se like unless you get something like really factually wrong, I think maybe they just mode look at more of like how you write how you argue whether there's any like logical like, leads in your argument, like as long of course I mean, as long as your essay flows and like it makes sense they cannot really fault you even if it's not what they can't fault you like


because they don't believe in it in what you're writing what, ish that should be way it work, I mean I'm quite sure there will be a bit of personal bias here and there but, I think markers are I think I think most of them are professional enough to like


at least draw the line between what they believe and what you are write, cause believe all they're looking out for is your argument what


there's behavioral economics which is ya, I actually don't know but I've just heard it a few times, I think if I'm not wrong I think you probably like, let me let me Google, I think is so that you be study


trends, or where like, that's all of economics hang on, I think that's probably a bit of in it oh wait okay it studies the effect of


psychological cognitive emotional cultural and social factors on the economic decisions of individuals, so it's a economic psychologist


maybe because economics is, like a force sort of driven by people you know what I mean you know like the principles of economics right demand supply, people drive that what right, so that's why, that's why it should be a social science


and like I mean money anything involving money involves the decisions of people and like how do they want to use it, kind of, like oh-my-god did I tell you about that thing where I earn like seventeen dollars, ya ya ya so that one is kind of I guess is kind of like also like how much you wanna trust that's what ya


that was interesting and was like the best money I've ever earn just sit there click only , I finished it about twenty minutes uh so it is quite fast


and then I've been looking out for opportunities like that ever since, I guess, can you believe I considered minoring in like I would die apparently they need H two maths leh and I did not take H two maths and I can't


ya also has but we have the program to do it for us, so that's fine but oh-my-god if I took it I would die leh you wouldn't even see me here I would be just like dead somewhere else, I hate it I I'm damn bad at it leh


ya and I'm dying, ya, okay like the first part right was theory only like concepts like how do you design experiments so that one is like, aiyah can understand lah but, now the maths is coming in and I'm like good god save my soul


oh well what to do though, ya I guess lah but


is part of my core, next, next I also have one more, ya data analysis that's what's important


especially okay lah it's gonna be important if I get to like final year and then I have to do FYP, (ppb) then I will need to like do my own research and then I'll need to like get my own results analyse my own data and then, probably screw up along the way somewhere but


actually what happens if they open up the course while you are in NS do you still get a chance to apply


honestly I think that's cause of like JC, people cause JC people they won't have any knowledge about all that one, it's there like any equivalent or something like comm science (eh), poly or is it or is that actually just comm science


the closest thing uh, (ew) I can't imagine taking computer science I would die probably (ppb)


anything I'm like


gone already but ya whatever there is, ya whatever whatever's interesting just ask lah, this one this one reminds me of like you know primary school oral when they give you the thing in the folder


oh Jesus I don't know (ppb) I don't know don't ask don't ask that one don't ask that one, I really don't know (eh), can you answer it


don't think ya until it happens, honestly no, what (ppb) what kind of question is that


something very superficial will be that they like dogs and they are okay with dogs, I mean if I want a dog right then like, but I guess generally like if I were to think about that right then, whether we got like same values same direction in life kind of thing you know what I mean


things are important to us like, okay lah if there's the possibility of having a future then why not right that's I guess that's what I mean by that


possibility of a future, I mean that would be a very important thing okay you know what deal maker is very hard to answer but like


shared values and then like, you have to have like similar standing style you know like standing and sitting like if you're, very very different like financially then that's gonna be a problem


priorities I don't know like, if we have different priorities like let's say maybe I focus on family they want to focus on career then that might be a bit difficult, I mean like okay lah I'm sure like you like things like this can I guess you can you can work around them but


of course it will be ideal if they match [loh] then


I don't know (ppb) what what kind of question is this though, I know I know, I know but like what kind of question is there how am I supposed to answer , you know that story I don't want to think about that (ppb)


literally everything that I want to do


that's a very good question I have a lot of things , ya ya that's what I was thinking about, go into exam without studying yeah that would be great that would be great but then that's just like


yeah but that's just not failing like if I want to do well then I might still have to study, aiyah but things along that line lah you know what I mean right


their priorities what they think who they are yeah that's the whole point of these questions, oh do you do you know like the, I can't remember what it's called I can't remember the exact name for it but, it's like to like draw a C or make a C shape with your hands how would you do it


like use your hand to like, oh okay cause like they saying that right if like the C faces you right like, you that means you are like more like focus on yourself something like that, or like you see yourself in more of a position of power


but if you do it facing the person so that they see it's a C, it feels that you are either like not the person in power or, consider others, something like that something like that it was some psych thing it was like some obscure like


obscure like example


I guess but like, ya you know like, okay so like basically like right he, played your mind into like so called


so the it is like it contains like your desires like you know like love and lust, like and then there's the other side which is destructive desires which is like, if I want to punch something I will punch it that kind of thing, ya or like if I want to like kill something I will kill it


then the super ego is the super moralistic one is is basically the angel and devil on your shoulder, ya it's quite a thing that's thrown around, but anyway ya so the it is like the, okay not exactly the devil but


supposed to represent like your like, unconscious passions all that (lah) like the, the more intense kind of feeling, then the super ego is supposed to represent your like, your morals like it's the thing that tell you, I D (ppb)


don't know but he named it so I'm not questioning it, but then ya so super ego is the morals one the one where they tells you, oh you can't punch something because you want to you're not suppose


yes without the apostrophe (ppb), so it's just it, so like, ya it's quite stupid how he named things but, I can't really I can't really rename it, cause then I would fail, ya but then, where was I


oh ya so super ego is like the thing that tells you like not to punch like your brother just because you want to, the ego is the thing that keeps a balance, so like let's say you're like angry at your brother but, and you want to punch him because your it tells you to punch him, then your super ego says you can't punch him


so your ego will tell you how about you punch something else so you punch the wall, ya something like that, oh then this is the like the kids concern also like just now I telling you right, it's like when you like


say something that you didn't me the say out lah but it you say, it's kind of like you reflecting your unconscious lor like that, not necessary always the age but, it's just like cause the age and the super you go and eat you go out part of your unconscious I think


not exact it's not really even the opposite, okay just like if you talking about motive then you have you will be opposite, but you can't really call them opposite lah


you have to ask him when he is dead ask me, but anywhere, yeah I mean honestly


but yeah so it will just seen that it represent your unconscious and all that, super yeah superego is the moral conscious and then ego is the realistic part, oh here the nice picture of it


yeah I I think this is like take with food picture actually, yeah this is under personality for some, like do we like to classified thing is like kind of weird but, I can't really question it


technically I am suppose to be having one right now, I think I am , a lot of thing I can't remember what, she yeah went was my like last actually meaningful conversation


I mean I can think of one lah I don't think it should be record, about my friend like you know like friends in everywhere and then like, she has like a lot for some reason it's like she has a lot of friendship problem now (eh) then


yeah then she will like telling me and then, oh as in as social she doesn't technically knock one yet, okay she knows but she doesn't like she is not measuring in it yet but she wants like elite


some people do but then some people also don't know they just go, if they don't know yeah then it's good for them then they have chance to explore cause that they are system one, that's what I don't know, but


ya I guess, I don't know because a lot of science people also applied for FASS so


a surprising amount like you would think that FASS is mostly all the, arts kids but, or like econs


so technically there's really nowhere else for arts, children to go if they don't go FASS, if they want to they can but they will probably die cause like there's no background at all, I I honestly don't know like cause when you apply for uni they don't ask for like


if if they if it's required then they will state it but if it's not then you can by right apply for it lah but, doesn't require


I guess, okay lah for my school I don't think anyone would have done that because when we take arts right usually our maths is H one, but I think maybe for like Hwa-Chong like those like


top JCs then they'll, not exactly compulsory but they have the option of taking four H two if they want to so they can afford to use maths as one of their H two subjects


usually ya I can't think of anyone who's like taken like science stream but not H two maths, I think that's quite rare actually, ya you will need maths uh


maybe not necessarily like but at least you can handle it, so it's kind of like, kind of sad cause like science people can go to arts if they want to
