and and I think at the point of time Uber was pretty new in the city so they were doing quite a lot promotions and, and stuff like that, and the cabby, and the cabby was this young young guy his own car and he, and the thing was that he modified his car


so so the car was like really loud and ah it was a sports car, and actually that that particular ride was actually pretty short it was probably about uh, five to ten minute ride only, but, but the the cabby was really fast and furious so he so he uh


we we jokingly asking him if he could drift, and the traffic and the traffic wasn't smooth but but he weaved in and out of the the traffic and, it was quite quite a exciting ride, so he was just explaining to us how, how he was interested in modifying vehicles and he was making


he was he was like putting LED light, on on on his car and make, uh ya I think the bass if I remember right the bass was really was was was quite, was quite deep as well the it's quite a


significant piece, stereo system, ya so I think that was, probably not the most interesting conversation but the most interesting ride, and I I guess when you have such, the sharing economy you really open up


really open up the the the kind of people that that give you read, ya otherwise they would usually be complaining about the government or at least in Singapore, they're usually complaining about the government or, really


standard, middle aged ah, Chinese, uncles, they they usually talk about the same thing so, so uh ya so I think that was the most interesting ride I ever had


I don't, I I wasn't the one who booked the the cab so but I do think we we did give him a, a good rating for giving us a ride of our lives


do you want a high point or low point one, there's this one point one, it says, #giam kana# I guess that's salted olives a metaphor for a miserly person


I I I haven't, come across this, Singaporean, brave, though so, I'm not sure have you come across this, that's salted right it's like preserved


#giam cai#, I guess


okay maybe maybe let's just leave that question, it's a simple short one, let me give you a, I thought is salted, so is like salted Giam is salted and Kana is olives ya


is it i dont know hokkien okay , okay there's Heng Suay, Heng Suay what's the best or worst thing that can happen to you in Singapore


you made it political I mean you you wanted to talk about finances, it can be something else it can be like, the best thing is that, you got you you pick up ten dollars on the floor


I I don't know, what's the best thing, ya


and you don't really express, the the happiness or the, something good or bad happens to you as well right, oh ya, ya so I, so how did you do work


oh okay, oh, oh okay so actually oh let me tell you about yesterday so I was , I was actually I had a headache yesterday I don't know why so I went to sleep quite early


I think for the, for I slept for like two hours in and out like, throughout the afternoon, and then at night I slept at like eight plus, and after that I woke up at, two and I messaged you, i I woke up at two and I slept back four AM


ya so from two to four like I'm, uh my house was affected by the blackout, I don't know why I woke up actually at two but I think it it might be because like the air conditioner was off, it might be because of that I don't know and


my phone was like at a really low battery I didn't charge I didn't charge it, so when I woke up I tried to charge it I didn't because my light was off, ya and I then know that there was a blackout, it felt warm, and I didn't know there was a blackout but I tried to charge it and I realise that


that I couldn't charge my phone, and , ya and after that I I thought it was just like my house, because I I didn't check my phone and anything I just, and , and I couldn't go back to sleep because been I slept quite early, so I was just


scrolling my, social media and I realise that there was a blackout, ya as you do on your bed, oh is it, oh I I I didn't realise


oh oh ya I saw pictures but I didn't I I, I didn't know that there was a, their unique experience in Singapore where, cause there's always so much like pollution maybe we could even go like stargazing


oh okay, uh that's pretty interesting experience if, okay, it's just something, ya I guess


uh ya some, so you can't say that things always work, just now you said


in a year, uh okay, oh that's cool, ya comparatively I guess things work


ya I think recently they are talking about privatising the


oh okay ya


oh yeah for for the blackout yesterday, conspiracy, conspiracy theory, okay night


if you could be a Karang-Guni man, what would you want to collect, do they really have a choice, don't they collect anything and everything and that's why they are called like rag and bone man, newspapers what what what is the what is the Hokkien phrase that they say


they would, you know as the Karang-Guni man will go will go, like around the HDB estates, ya ya he will horn I I I don't know I don't know the Hokkien thing that he shouts like, something about old radios and TVs and something like that


no you don't oh maybe we will search after this, ya there's this phrase that he will shout out , that collects, he he would want to collect old electronics and stuff like that, what would I want to collect


I would like to collect , old no no I would like to collect baby teeth, ya maybe maybe he collects old baby


electronics I guess because that's the most, what's the highest , weight value to weight ratio, probably old probably electronics I guess


tell a story, maybe in in primary school like maybe, when your kids are in primary school, they would have show and tell, show and tell their parent, primary four diskette


okay ya should filter it, just so, this is social studies, this social study


can you hear me, is this loud enough, it just seems really soft, it's really close already it's actually closer than


okay maybe we do, how about how about you you you talk more like I'll give you the question quickly and you talk more


okay so , SG hundred describe your Singapore, this is politically


charged, if you wanted to be a guest


ya I'm really gone, uh maybe you just talk [orh] actually we can take a break right like we can take a


one two three four five six


is this okay, oh okay because it became like a lot lower a lot smaller, oh okay, okay okay ya


ya so you were talking about the narrative that, we should, live in fear and, or we have been conditioned the or we have been conditioned to live in fear, to a point where we do not talk about


dreams but rather, survive, earn enough money, your dream is that people dream !wow! that's deep


okay


do you think that's a Singapore thing or is that a, a thing of our generation


what's your dream your dream is that people have a dream


sounds interesting, by the time, how old we be when it says, uh ya seventy


uh ya sure , CPF


KIV keep in view right, what's my most liked or hated acronym, acronym acronym, ah this is hard , what what is that to like or not like about


an acronym, maybe do do you have examples of acronym that I can can hit on, oh there was some there was some acronym that are like longer then the words itself right


ya what what examples for acronym, the major expressway in Singapore


what else are there, can't really think of any other moment KIV


is that is that have an extreme that that, that is too much, like


this long, so is okay what, maybe, and they they have acronym of acronym right like


like for the smart thing that you mentioned, like MIT is shortened to M, which is already uh which is already an acronym


what what the other acronym, that that I think there are other examples of acronyms of acronym like, it becomes quite


is this yours ya, the next one is, the Kallang Wave Singapore will win the World Cup in World Cup in


they had the, they had the, they had a dream right, like the World Cup dream, dream


something like that, ya so when do you think we would win, the World Cup, politics uh politics alert


so what do you should be the balance between, oh no we shouldn't go there, okay, just give a year, I guess


okay, good answer, ya actually does it matter, I don't think we would host the World Cup though


like to host you need to, I I think I think Singapore can't host the World Cup because like you know it require it's, quite crazy to have, to do it logistically like as compared to like the Olympics it's like held in a city


I don't think so because in, because for an for the Olympic Games is held in a city, and you have you have events across all different types of venues, like across swimming pools stadiums and


and like open sea, ya but World Cup is usually held across a country like there were like, sixty seventy seat eh not six, like ten plus stadiums all across Russia right, ya and even Japan and South Korea had to join host a World Cup


as compared to like, like one city, so I think if we were to host, we will have to join bid with maybe Asean World Cup or, or , a Malaysia Boleh ya so


ya and I think logistically is a lot harder as well because, maybe it's, a generalisation but I think like, the fans in a football uh that watch a football match, the type of fans that you attract are, maybe more rowdy as compared to


to people that, not cannot but, but I think Singapore would find problems with drawing a line, between like what to allow and what not to allow, and, ya I don't know


it's probably my opinion, I think, I think we probably can but to host the World Cup I think, we would need like would (ppb) probably need to do a join bid like if, if, Japan alone can't do it I doubt that


okay, my turn to answer


where should the visitors go oh I actually thought about this because , when I was studying abroad uh I had a Singaporean friend, who was talking about, a so so we had a group of friends and, one of the friend one one of


my friends in this group was a Singaporean as well, and, and some some of, them were thinking of visiting Singapore and, and this Singaporean friend asked , where where is, where's a nice place to go ya in Singapore


ya so so we are thinking of of something more interesting apart from the usual places that tourists, would visit


no but were we were looking at places like Pulau-Ubin, and like Chek-Jawa , and other places where, people don't usually go like certain park


I can't really remember but, in in the itinerary that he planned it seem that, my friend who is hosting the, he had quite a lot of interesting places that we don't usually


think of when we think of hosting tourist, so, not really in the town, ya, ya stay away from the CBD, so ya really interesting places like


Pulau-Ubin what else was there, there was this other park, and and it really depends where, where , where, where the, the visitors, are from so like


something I've something that I realise that was quite interesting is that, for people like because I studied in Scotland, which is cold there and wet there they don't really have water parks there, so they are they are really interested in like when they when they visit like other countries


uh that kind uh the Jurong one and the, I think it it it appeals to them in a certain way because they do not have that because of the weather, so, ya not what's the other one the


there's some other, not Wild-Wild-Wet, there's some other water park right, okay ya


what is real, what is real Singapore, is the Singapore that, Raffles stepped on the real Singapore, or is it the, Singapore that


Sang-Nila-Utama stepped on, or is it, ya, I guess, ya they should I guess


Tiong-Bahru, that's so hipster, Yishun, Toa-Payoh


I guess I guess that's where the question is kind of directing us right because it's titled heartlands


interesting, all that for one point question, actually but it's interesting it's really nice, did I answer this, okay what's next uh, I don't understand this question


it says on the ball, the work that you do is super, I don't understand this question


I guess I guess you are supposed to complete it so like, the work that you do is super, boring, super, interesting, because it makes you


and it makes you talk about


how about let's let's talk about, the use of on the ball, why is on the ball, why does on the ball mean to be attentive or focused


oh okay, focusing, but the same thing can be said about on the tightrope, or on the


on the


is it , what about on the unicycle, what about on the, what about on the I I don't know what, anyway <unk> I don't understand this question


let's do another one, how well do you know your neighbours next door


do you think that the, HDB quotas help


how have things turned out, why do you think that's the case


but it's a, but it's a generational thing as well right like the fact that we call it Kampung spirit is because in those days people, we assume that people were more friendly or were more open to


to such relationships with their neighbours, but I mean whether it's true or not I we haven't lived in that time so we can't comment but, I guess the fact that we call it that means that, that there is a more


neighbourly spirit I guess then and, and, and people would be more open or more friendly I I think it's a it's, it's part of moving from a, from a suburban, living condition to a urban living condition as well like


generally we would think of, people living in the big cities being more closed up and more, isolated as compared to, to rural suburban areas, and they are more friendly


oh


okay so so I I don't understand so you you you said that the article, was saying that the Kampung spirit is a myth so it's, about the Kampung spirit today being a myth or it's a, it's a statement about, the Kampung spirit back then


oh so all the while there wasn't such a thing as a Kampung spirit, okay, people were cold to each other as well


okay, actually I don't think i, personally I don't think that, the the Kampung spirit means like neighbourly love but rather like, like there's this element of like just more interaction


like it's a neutral thing but but more interaction so like, people can be busybody which has this kind of negative connotation as well, but at the same time, at the same time it's just a statement about, that more social interaction rather than less


whether you take it as a good thing or not is, ya I guess so, ya that's true


okay, interesting, I guess it's seen as a good thing, ya I don't know


I think generally ya I think it's a a I still think it's a urban and, rural divide, like Kampung spirit can be, a village in Africa or a village anywhere else in the world


ya kind of like, generally like the idea is that, generally people who who live in, in less urbanised areas, tend to be more, simple minded or


or friendly because, because they they are more satisfied with what they have and and like, ya I I guess so, ya so, so I guess Kampung is like a Malay word right


and it can be applied to any other, less non, developed, not say non developed but, less urbanised area


ya, probably


but is that romantacised, oh okay ya


but I still have the as in I have the impression that the people generally still, like they don't think of, at least people from out of generation in China, is not wrong, as in people who are millennials in China know


I don't think, as and I think most of them still would want to in the, in the Beijing and and, there are still not, I guess is romantacised such as different manner because


is is is more like objectified as like a cultural comodity and, in in in the case that you mentioned rather then write, uh we look at it with nostalgia and we, we want to retain certain elements of, their lifestyle that they have right is that is that what you're trying to say or


okay


ya I guess so its like a a similar identity across, across, ethnic backgrounds and, ya ya I guess so its like, something that we have in, we supposedly or what we should have in common, ya that make sense okay


I only have three task left you can just, throw oh sure sure, I guess


the the one had, uh okay #Bao Ka Liao#, #Bao Ka Liao# Singapore should become the next hub


business hub, everything hub actually , what does it mean to be a hub, currently currently what is Singapore hub for


I think currently it's like a a uh, oh the actually the first thing I thought about was travel hub, as an not travel ah transportation, so like people they want to transit like and end for flights, there's there was the first thing I thought thought about


healthcare hub, ya America tourism what else, what what other potential hubs can Singapore be


what is AI hub, oh smart city, smart nation, but how is there hub so like, the hub did notes that, people come, for, a centre for a certain for a for a blank right


so so people would come uh not necessarily come but, but Singapore will be the the, to go to place for a certain, for a certain classification of goods, and on service right, so in the case if like financial hub


that mean that people come here and do business uh or do trading and, and for the case of like transportation hub people will transit here there mean a part of departure or part of arrival for the region right, so, is that how we are defining like what hub means like


ya so what would there AI AI hub mean like, for research or, so like where where people gather to, discuss, [orh] research


i guess, is it regional or global, but this


you don't have much competition do you, ya but what other hubs are there , is probably a ready an academic hub when, most of us


a lot of Asean scholars come over to study university, Chinese scholars, Indian scholars, what are the hub is, I think it should be, I don't think it should be this but


I think it might be interesting if if, if we become an agricultural hub, ya, ya and and and urban farming not just the point where, when when we say hub so so like how we define the they are like people actually


consume it not just about one sustenance but like, but but, Singapore a bit seen as a, exporter of food products, I I don't think is possible but, ya ya of cause


will be quite cool like air, high tech farming again, put all the chemical if possibly can into, change as many gene as you can, so that ya


I I don't know what we do but, but the but the, the peak, I'm I'm sure that the the the food that they grow is genetically modified isn't it


otherwise, or selectively, bread, I thought most of the food that we eat is already genetical modified


selective reading selective, you don't chemically modified the genes, ya


ya but then they will saying like thing like rice like, the the the the fact that we, the fact we're the rice that they we're eating now, is is, a strain of some genetically modified, durian such that this


nowadays like a lot of, rice strain become extinct already, ya ya because like the gene pool is, limited to that particular strain of, of


the particular strain of of, of wheat or that particular strain of rice, such that, the only, the only type of rice left, that's no like wild rice left because, ya


ya so so like is already all like, is only all that that strain of genetically modified, rice, breed i guess


oh ya and there that is, oh there's this cool thing right they have a seed, they have like a seed then their if, in Norway is it or some some isolated place


ya, !wow! , ya so I think generally I I I I don't know but I I have , I have an I have the impression that


most of, what we eat today is already like tainted like, not just, not just selectively bred but like


they use like certain , they modified the genes, of the plants, before that, but then again a lot of these


the side effects and not would would not, be seen like immediately what so, like the, the tests that the government or whichever government, or agency runs on it, you you don't know


you don't know what, you don't know the the test that they use are are, ya I guess, test on rats maybe and and


and one generation of rat, they didn't let this like they probably don't let, these experiments, carry on to, to a a few generation and see if, if they are any adverse effects, but then again who cares right like we are all going to die anyway


ya and that is the human race , why why we #bao ka liao# talk until , talk what other hubs are there uh


what are the trends, cultural hub do you think Singapore will ever be a cultural hub, like how like how maybe Korea exports their culture, do you think do you think Singapore can ever do that


but then again is that the same, is the hub in the sense of exporting culture the same, as


and it and, not really, I don't think it's about, maybe like like things like sports things like sports hub is like national like just


national standing and like pride, how much money do you expect from <unk> like, ya i mean okay so in our in our context it might be to a money but, but there might be other


is is not like the best way to earn money you know what I'm trying to say like like so even if our tag hub, it might draw in money but I guess the the long term, the long term is not like a calculated investment, to earn money but rather something like oh where people gather and like


and like new, new invention some made or new discovery something, okay sure so cynical


okay all about money then, preach preach


cultural hub cultural hub, ya can we export can we export culture, what do you think we can export in terms of culture


have you watched it, oh I I don't think I'll like it that's why don't watch it, eh uh ya I think I watched


the the house right the mansion is in Malaysia, a singer ya ya I read that, maybe their trying to portray something that doesn't exist


Crazy-Rich-Asians ah okay did you, oh so if all three, what's the last one


ya ya ya, and recently they also talk about like the, either like minority in Singapore complaining about, the fact that, they didn't represent Singapore


whatever, shall we move on, okay oh #bao ka liao# it's only one point only but, that's good, this is actually quite boring


so it's so it's so politically, correct not that I want to be politically wrong


maybe let's do this instead what do you what would you queue for in Singapore, really why


okay, but then are, why why why is Singaporeans, known for why why why is queueing known to be the national pastime, it's a British thing right, no it's not a British thing I thought it was a British thing


like , I thought I thought it was like a, I thought it was like a, legacy, legacy thing from British colonisation


like at least I, not that but I think uh ya ya I mean the UK is known to be , known to like queues a lot more than the rest of, the Western world right, is it not


like people actually queue for buses and people actually queue for, for, for like, different things, I thought it was a British thing I I I don't know if it, I don't know if it's because like Singapore was once a


or maybe it's just a coincidental similarity that, that we are known, I don't know, ya maybe we will research on that after this


ya what will you queue for, what would people queue for anyways food, like the some trend some trendy food right


queueing is a social activity, ya, ya, what is the biggest similarity or difference between your generation and your parent's generation


one two three racism, no, I thought you I I thought you said that, difference


uh let's not let's not go there, actually I think they are a lot more


differences, okay do you think do you think like, because of, okay say globalisation, do you think that, you have you are more similiar to some


do you do you think you are more similar on someone from the same culture, but different generation, or someone that's from a different culture but same generation so maybe someone in like some, another country I don't what is the


similar, I think so as well


ya I guess


okay, oh okay how about how about let's change the question do you think you will be more similar to the, your, parent's generation or, the generation of your children


actually I think I I agree with you I think that, ten years, different, younger, it's really a lot, and it's scary, is really scary


but then again is like the is like experiential right they change and, they change and ah, I guess, technologies because that's what influence us, culture I don't know where I as in I am using like the terms very loosely here but I guess


I guess, ya I mean social comment, social commentary side will always point to like, oh the invention of internet oh the invention of social media oh, ya so I guess, because of these


what you grow up with I guess, like the games you play as you grow up the, the the people the, types of interaction you have with the, with your friends as you grow up the messenger, how you message them


how you talk to them, type of social interactions, we hit the way that, we thank and the way that, we, interactive with each other because of that


ya we are different we see differences, how is your


okay, ya I guess I mean depends how how, where you draw the line when you classified things right, ya I don't know


this is so boring, this all those you reject, ah those that you rejected


I just wanted to take a look at other types of, proms that they have recess time what is my favourite canteen, so much more, SUtd


SUtd, you don't you don't live on campus anymore right, oh okay so you take down bus, how how long is the journey, (ppb) I want I want I want to go to SUTD one of these days


as in I wanted to I I emailed Celine, uh third to TA optimisation, then she told me she already have her TA to, like she already had <unk> far TA and she has already, planned out


current term, ya lah as in I I email her I email her just before I left the UK, which was in, late, August I think, and by then she had already found her people


ya so but I told her that we should still, but I'm not really interested in advance optimisation, because it's more, it's more like more modelling as is it's not that I'm not interested but


actually in some way I think advance optimisation is more simpler, ya ya it's more focus so so there's not much like, additional , like things that you can bring in is


i maybe at my my depth like what I know, there there are certain things that I, like is already advanced optimisation is already, ya like what you say it's already focus so you can't, you can't really bring in like, things that, supplement that


but for optimisation I think there are quite a lot of, other like competing , better maybe question mark, I I don't know ya it seems like I I feel like I can add more to a optimisation classroom rather than a


after advanced optimisation, uh ya maybe uh but I'm supposed to meet her anyway to talk, uh I have to catch up so


maybe I don't know I been looking for jobs so, I don't really know what, I I think when, there's a, deadline coming up right, like apply for PHD and SUTD, I think it's over already like mid September or late September


ya I think the intake that is closing is for January one, I don't know whether i want to apply, still need to write all the statement of intent, really boring don't really want to apply


no leh the master now was very simple I did write a few, but the master's one is like very, and mine is not


research master so, ya lor so I don't have, did you write for you yes, I think the one that they are requesting for is the, three thousand words, or two thousand words


that's quite a lot I think, ya, ya, but I guess, I I doubt I doubt I doubt like people like Zhe-Yu I mean like the PHD students actually wrote that to get in


I think I think they they approached, ya ya ya but I doubt, ya so, actually it makes sense to actually just meet go down to SUTD to meet and ask


maybe I'll meet you for lunch someday there, ya okay we'll talk about that, let me just look through this eat here or Dabao what is your favourite, hawker dish that makes you what's #lao nua#


Lao what's what's Lao have you seen that, drool, ya always got Hokkien


but they have they have, I guess is just local slang they assume people will know, that's why the they explained it with asterisks and, the pound sign, pound


pound right hashtag, ya so, ya that's boring, what's your favourite hawker dish


oh let's talk about it so meta I I wonder if actually my first my first, not my first thought but one of the thoughts I have was that, if someone would be, would be transcribing it, I'll pity that person


!wow!, okay


ya the person listening probably would not understand half of what we are, not really understand but would not have the context to guess if, if, someone gets like, cut off or blurred out


ya uh if you're listening I pity you if you are just a if you are just, all the best , so meta


that make sense but at the end of day I mean if were to want to do this with AI will probably have to, label it somehow right so, I will assume that, if if not transcript


that probably be some, form of labeling, which has to be done manually, I guess so, ya must be tiring two hours


Oya-Beh-Ya-Som Oya-Beh-Ya-Som, is a favourite game during recess, I always sleep during recess, what is recess


primary school uh


actually right, we can talk about that but, I think I think the the student life, I think of interesting in the student life, like I think I have, uh I think if I were a PHD student


in sutd I think i will join some, sports, some sports are, fifth roll ya because I don't think I don't think I will, I have lot of opportunity like I think missing that lifestyle


ya I guess, but uh then again it it might because of the lines that they draw themselves right like, we don't have student that are, involve in fifth row that do PHD I mean, involved in fifth row as undergrad, and continue being as involve


[orh] okay ya ya the PHD one right okay, like he still, oh okay, oh that ya so I think


it depends on how how you draw the line already right so he, he was involve and he is continuing to be involve so I guess that, he will involve involve then say the the, PHD student they just came in from somewhere else then


ya and then they will always hang up again with themselves, [orh] if not ya I mean I I if, if I'm doing a PHD there in sutd I would think, I think that I'll be closer to


the undergrad student, as compared to the average PHD student I I don't know for sure because I'm not there but, really


that's true


okay, which is quite sad did you go for the graduation, I wanted to go


oh that day you were sending Jiawen off right, not not you send oh you all had a meeting you all had a gathering before, Seetoh was saying, not at the airport lah


what day was that, on a weekday oh okay okay ya ya ya, where is she studying, or London, oh but UCL has nice hostels, like because the


as in the the location is very good, okay next uh, how how do you think it's boring


actually why you why you why did you cut this off, this sounds quite fun, what do you think you should


you should take care of your lunchbox your neighbour is going to steal it


there is always a hungrier follower that is follow, foreigner that is, taking that would want to take your lunch box away


it is, oh !wow! they have three topic prompts as well I just realised


which school do you want to enroll your child in, can imagine the conversations that will take place in this place


poly university


oh let me tell you a story I I don't know if I told you, I didn't meet you


I guess you assume that people that come here like, may or may not know each other well, I don't know how how do you find about this


okay anyways let me tell you a story, ya so so uh I, you know I suppose to fly I'm not sure if I have told you if I've did then is boring


then I only met you in in, in Scotland right after that I didn't tell you I didn't meet you, ya so so I was suppose to come back on the Tuesday think about three weeks back, I suppose to leave Edinburgh on the Monday, and arrive on and arrive Singapore on Tuesday


and I'll suppose to transit at Amsterdam, then, what happen was my flight from, Edinburgh to Amsterdam was delayed, and that cost me to miss my transit flight from Amsterdam to Singapore


so I I stayed over at Amsterdam for one night like the paid they paid for my hotel for one night everything, so uh, I I took the next flight back which is just, the next day lah so instead arriving on Tuesday afternoon


I arrived on Wednesday afternoon in Singapore instead, so what happen was, on the flight, back I was not feeling well so I was like puke, and, and I didn't eat like they had they serve like two meals onboard I didn't eat any


and I drank, ya I did want to puke, and then I I didn't drink much as well I think I drink like, a cup of apple juice and that's it for like the, twelve hour flight, and then when I arrive back in Singapore, I was stopped, by


anti narcotics, the bureau thing, largely probably because of Amsterdam, yes they made me pee, so they put me in a toilet


okay they they first they checked my bags to ensure that I didn't, okay so after I I landed I I still felt a little bit giddy ah, and and like I was carrying all the bags and all that, and then, and then ya they stopped me after they checked my bags


and after checking my bags they asked me to go to the, toilet to do a urine test, so they they watched me try to pee and I explained that, I didn't drink anything and I was puking on the plane so I I'm probably very dehydrated, it will take awhile


and I tried my best, to pee, and I tried, ya I tried my best to pee and and, and ya so so they, they they asked me a lot of questions lah like ask me, how long did I stay in Amsterdam


uh did I take any drugs, I told them no , no I I said no, but but ya they asked me they asked me how long I stay in Amsterdam I said, it was supposed to be one hour but because my flight got delayed it became one day


so it's not my fault, ya they I think they would have asked if, if not for the fact that like I just uhI just quite Sian lah, so they they stared at me in the toilet is this like, this handicapped toilet lah


so so like they were like, three or four policemen, like watching me pee try to pee, so awkward , in the toilet at that time


I didn't I don't actually I I didn't realise but actually, I think they only stopped Singaporeans because I didn't know about this as well it's illegal to smoke weed, as in it's illegal to have weed in your bloodstream, even if you don't bring any back, so


I don't know, I don't know, if I was the only one but my flight mostly, I think most of the people on my flight were tourists and not, Singaporeans at least not, not ya they don't look like ya they they look like foreigners


so I think I was the only one that, was stopped by in my flight ya, so so they watched me try to pee, and for like, a whole twenty minutes, they they they made me because outside the toilet there is a water cooler, ya they they keep asking me to drink water but it's not instantaneous you know like


it takes time for your the water to go and absorb, I don't think they will let me do that but but, I was I was not feeling well as well so like I was squatting down, and i was just waiting for


for my pee to come out, so the the bottle of the, the pee bottle, was probably like, one third of, the size of this mineral water bottle, and the the base is around the same diameter


round rounded bottle, and they wanted me to fill about one third of it so is like maybe this amount which is not a lot I mean if if you can pee is not a lot, but but I really couldn't pee, and they waited for about twenty minutes like they literally


just stare at me trying to pee in front of the, I was like in front of the toilet bowl and I was like holding the pee bottle and they all just staring at me trying to pee into the bottle, and then and then ya so so I think, at the end, cause cause the end up I manage to squeeze out like maybe four drops of


really dark colour urine like obviously dehydrated, like four drops and didn't even cover the surface of the base, so, so what happened to us, I think


what do you mean just wait uh me, yup I mean I could wait, I I mean I could, but I think they also very the the the, the, the the police, are they policeman I guess so ya


I guess they they they very Sian also they also very Pek-Chek to watch me they watch me like just got now, that's true, that's true maybe they scare I I I run away or but where can I run to right


and then and then I think my mum was waiting outside for me also and and my phone, my phone didn't have a, didn't have, my phone I I was having the overseas card so I didn't have like three G so I didn't contact my mom


and then I think the the Changi Wi-Fi, there are two ways to connect the Changi Wi-Fi the first way is they will SMS you, which I couldn't and the second way is go to the counter, which I couldn't as well so I could there was no way I could contact my my mum


so, ya so I told them my mum is waiting outside and then like , and I think they, and I told them I am not feeling well lah and I dehydrated I never drink anything for the past twelve hours, you make me drink a lot now doesn't mean, I can pee now


ya, ya that's true, but but then again, the chemicals that are in your blood stream <unk> are probably a different test maybe I don't know, I don't know how it work because the the pee one is colour the colouration right


ya anyways so so they I think they after I peed out that four drops I think, they pitied me so they said aiyah just do the test lah just do the test, and then they and then they put the the pee stick inside but the pee stick is not even submerged it's so obvious that like


does it even touch the urine, then they say !aiya! pass pass I think they pity me so they just let me pass, so, the government would never know if I smoke weed


ya, so that's my story, at least at least at least I'm thankful for the fact that, the CNB is it call CNB, central narcotics bureau, ya at least the CNB people are like, compassionate I guess


at I mean, they are not doing are they doing I mean their doing their job, but, ya I I guess at least their not like mechanical and like, their not, they give me the benefit of doubt I guess


and I'm thankful for that as compare to if they really just, stared stared until I pee wait for a two hour three hours until I can pee, I mean they could lah and and I'm thankful they didn't lah


well I mean it it again it goes to how extreme they want it to be right like they can they can, even if I faint they can send me to hospital but wait for my first pee to come out


ya but I mean it it it is infringing on my life right so I mean I think I think they are nice in that sense for at least they have, they have compassion, I I I I almost puke like like, I I think I was about to puke also but I was just giddy so I like squat down and then they ask me like


what what did they ask me they ask me like what was I doing oversea how long like that kind it's not really integration but more of like, just, maybe they have a certain profile of, what someone, I don't know whether their profiling me or in some way or another lah but it seems like they did


ya, I think they were trying to profile me from the way that they ask the questions ah, so so ya I guess I guess, may maybe maybe i look <mandarin>乖:guai</mandarin> i dont know


but I didn't really answer I gave like one words answer like !huh! I cannot be bother talk to you now cause I was still giddy uh, I think they pity me lah most as in I think the fact that they let me go because they pity me


how so, but, to do that means like I I guess they would have to know that, like they must have some fond of evidence like you know like warrant or some form of like suspicion that


because at the end of the day I'm just, I am just coming back, oh oh maybe they know that if I mean if, if like, some how or other they already know that this person has likely or like i've already skip ns a a for


if they know if they have such, background information and they want to and they want to, convict me for somewhere in somewhere or other then I guess is possible but, if you just someone coming back


from a country, they don't even know that, I was away for a year like they had to ask those questions right, like they didn't they didn't know my profile before stopping me, they are the CN, they are the


ya uh, yes yes, ya the goods to declare place, so so they didn't have all this information, ya correct so


so so they don't they don't even have, what my profile is, ya maybe they they should have a centralized system


they did but they didn't check uh like they check the, ya ya ya they know because the flight just came and then people and the baggage is


ya I I don't know actually how they work


[orh] i didn't know as well I went to read about it so apparently if you're singaporean you just cannot smoke weed [orh] it's illegal to smoke weed as a singaporean, from what I read


is it to stop trafficking, or is it to stop consumption, drugs hub


hub hub


I think they assume that, if you are consumer of drugs, they assume that you are, you are firstly you are addicted


and secondly you are dependent on it, so, with these two assumptions, they think that it is worth, enforcing


people to not, not consume it in the first place lah, ya I guess that's the assumption that, making when they stop, or when they when they enforce the law that, you cannot smoke at all


does it make sense, uh this is going to get political I guess


is social social commentary lah it's not really political, ya social social it's a statement about, ya, beliefs our belief system and, of our the belief system of our


policy makers I guess, about


okay, okay


whatever is convenient [loh], I wonder how I don't know oh we transcribe


is it <unk> or is it uh, not knowing how to express, U G H


ya so, what are you talking, seventeen is that fast, now uh we just ended ah our weird conversation so we not sure


how to move, on, why, stories stories, okay okay uh


okay , ya , okay let's not talk about drugs anymore


job career, away


tell me about your research, okay, CO-two


okay, so how do you how do you, how do you model, emissions


okay


so what kind of models are there, like existing ones


like that


right, what do you call that you would you would just, take the average and find like for a particular, for the entire system so like you would go upwards lah, in terms of scale is it, okay k, like you extrapolate from that vehicle


but, ya


because of the fact that the data is not good enough lah, so the collection method has to have some improvement lah, okay


then they never evaluate or, as your job, your job to evaluate the models right


ya that makes sense


okay, but that will, wouldn't that already screw up the weight of the car and everything, that doesn't make sense


ask the APD people


ya, and then like it's like a big data thing also right like they want to crowdsource this kind of, they want to crowdsource this kind of data collection, ya they want to crowdsource this data collection


so like if it's something that is clip on you can always like, pay, car rental companies to just clip it on their vehicles or like even people from the outside, ya taxi taxis I guess , ya that that drive all the time and even uh external volunteers who are


different if you want like different, different , tonne vehicles with different like tonnage and different types of vehicles, you can always just, clip on and and, give them pay them a nominal sum for for the data so, ya probably probably the hardware needs to catch up


shown what, as in what do you need to show for that, oh okay as in draw the comparison


ya, sexy thing, ya later, ya, you want know what


oh they use a neuron network for this


and I will pee


no what about it, okay what about what what about it, [orh] okay okay, okay


who will have seven set, seven more minute, !wah! actually quite fast that time


oh can, your


ya maybe they will <unk> probably they will, we train it base on, your usage right, I don't know how it works ya, oh well


!wah! there was this, there's this scottish accent thing, this video I think I became quite viral, not sure if you have seen it so, then there was this like middle aged woman and she was talking to Alex and then I also didn't understand her


and then ah after closer to the end up the video she, she faked uh uh english accent, and I like so understood and she like she was like cursing and swearing she just, Alexa just hit scottish <unk> don't you something like that


quite funny


depends on who ask is, like okay what what if we we we pull it to extremes, and like say say


okay maybe not for consumer goods okay maybe even for consumer goods, but if you know that your your good, targeting uh specific like, market segment that's speak in a certain way, maybe, it from my elitise point of view maybe


maybe ya in a certain way, then would there still be a need for for training it with, uh like if your target audience like your target consumer is, a certain group of people that's speak in a certain way, would you would you dare train your neuro network base on


recognizing that type


so is like this, so is like the the very motivation, profit


ya lecture so, ya so it is like just experiment because it wants you to


look at, Singaporeans, like specifically right so like, if you are trying to sell , particular product to, to, Singaporeans i guess


may may be the Razor may be the Razors, in our (hm) because he was always talking about like, trying to penetrate like the Singapore market right


like for the cashless, I don't know it seems like he is doing a lot of stuff, is it I don't know, [orh] okay


ya very disappointed by the fact that like, that that, Singapore is still not cashless, like I am not used to the fact that my wallet has cash in it now, like after coming back


ya I I I I survive without cash like most of the time, so ya I think I should have my card as well right like even when I travel ya, and and Europe, of course there are countries in Europe there are less like


cashless friendly but, for the most part, in, in the UK, in the UK at least in Edinburgh, and in London as well I didn't carry cash with me, at most I had like uh twenty pound in my wallet


no you cannot eat leh, cannot eat at hawker center


ya quite disappointed at that I am like I thought whatever


oh actually some places in the UK are like that as well so like, they only accept card if it is more than certain amount, I think maybe, then cash lor, but then


okay let's start, how shall we start, uh we can do it in a systematic wait like start, from the top left hand corner and


I don't know go clockwise, okay at the top left hand corner I see a house, with a triangle roof, as in like it, it has, sloping sides, then it's brown like the roof is brown


then it has green walls, oh my god really okay uh so I generally say colour okay then the, uh Paul and Kim's cafe, oh


so do I circle that thing as well, okay so the name's different, then the door is on the right and there's a window with like nine smaller, panes on the left then there's a seahorse


on the door oh, you colourblind what, uh to me it's yellow but I don't know uh but it's light, wait wait I don't know if we are really eh are you really colourblind


okay is mine is yellow, okay uh then the house is on this like, pinkish you are not colourblind what, okay k k ya then to the left, there's like this like stand with a drink and a straw


I can't tell, oh, mine has no words, !wow! making good progress, ya, then right in front of the sign there's a red car


with no roof, and the left door is, [orh] ya convertible, then the left door is open, then there's a kid sitting on the, uh the one without the steering wheel


ah ya ya the left of the car, then the, looks like a boy with like three strands of hair, ya ya quite happy ya and a greenish, okay but darker darker colour


okay, how you know, oh ya but then there are no tyre tracks at the back


what a weird car, so weird right, okay, oh, maybe the driver went into the cafe, okay okay


ya ya ya so there are no differences there, uh then, like going down, below the red car, there's a, bright umbrella on the table and two chairs, oh oh


oh oh oh ya ya, ya, wait lighter blue or white (ppb) oh okay ya ya


same same, and the chairs also, no only only one of the chairs


ya ya ya correct no one partially hidden, oh the table has four legs and the chairs have four legs, the table is round right, oh ya you can't really see the fourth leg right


okay, okay then like, wait so I guess there is no difference, oh okay, ya the sign the sign


ya so the sign says shore forecast sun, ah !huh!, oh rain, wait the overall mood in the picture like is it like, people enjoying or like


be because mine is like people like, building sand castles and, uh surfing, like do the people in your picture look like like, very gloomy or like, is it gonna rain


oh okay okay, ya fourth one, okay, do the oh okay, oh rock pool, the one with the crab is it


oh okay, ya, ya, there's two people standing at the rock pool one by, ya, ya


got bra strap, okay, oh I only have two, wait where are your seashells, on the seashore


next to the girl right, two of them, then one, oh so I just circle blank space uh


okay, ya don't have, do you have like a bucket and a shovel, like uh behind the guy


ya ya ya ya, okay, uh one big, one big and long one on, on the right side of the guy, that means from the perspective, the guy ya then like a smaller


next to the crab, ya two two block, near the dustbin, ya near the green dustbin


okay, maybe it rain but your says is gone to rain, go where, oh on top, ya, uh that's a boy I think


sitting down (ppc), the boy has a green tab, then the sandcastle got like it the sandcastle is a square, with like four flags three of them are


some color and, [orh] oh you can tell , ya shovel blue shovel I think, oh ya kinda no but one side has a hole


okay, ya ya ya doll facing the boy, there are how many one two three four five


five differences so far, do you have a beach volleyball lesson, !huh! K I was circle, because I have a sign that says beach volleyball lesson


it is do do you have like some, net thingy like, uh two poles and like, banner, ya so the sign for mine is, to the left of it


uh wait ah, uh shack to rent is it, okay I'm gone to circle shack to rent it uh !aiya!, no below is like there's a counter right


below the counter ya, oh oh oh okay the sign is actually nearer to the crab, ya, ya ya correct ya


uh no one actually, ya that's no one play volleyball but there's like one guy going to kick a soccer ball to another guy, ya oh but there's a dog standing


near the banner flag the poles and the banner, okay let's just call that the volleyball net, okay so the dog is grey


then on the, right, like, from our perspective on the right of the dog there's a, grand like a old lady sitting there knitting a sock, I think it's a sock a blue sock


wait wait wait maybe you colourblind, oh okay, one two three four five six seven eight uh eight, got four more eh got twelve right


okay, wait wait S H E D is it, oh oh oh oh ya mine is a shack shack, like a the sign says S H A C K


uh so is a wooden shack with a corrugated metal roof, that looks like ya then there's a counter ya a lock, ya padlock then


mine is green, then to the other side there's a vending machine, that says push once


wait wait how many already one two three oh two more, uh and then and then on and then on top of the, push once uh, no mine mine is uh from from the top to bottom is uh bottle can bottle


then is like blue green blue, and is on the left side then I guess you push the, squares on the right, okay, so okay then in the sea is there someone on like a yellow surfboard then he looks like he's falling


orange is it, ya like kinda reddish orange thing


then the surfboard is yellow right, black and white [loh] like soccer ball like that, ya


oh no


ya maybe like some of the squiggly lines are different, do we have to finish no need right


okay, oh okay okay, so the ball is being kicked from the left to the right


because the boy on the left is about to kick the ball, to the right, no the the boy on the left leh like he is, right leg is lifted to the back


oh, uh my ball the swishy line is to the left and to the right leh does yours have like, obviously lines that, go to the right like the right one is much longer than the left something


ah !huh!, oh mine is both sides leh


your ball is in the air, wait, so the posture of the boys, they are just like standing, or are they like doing something


oh, then and then his feet is to the front right, as in as in, the feet that kick the ball


is to the front, of him, uh closer to the boy on the right, oh okay, mine is opposite mine mine is the right leg is swinging backward


ah okay that's another one, got the right leg lah, can lah you circle the ball then you circle the leg then we are done


but got twelve so we just need two more and we are done , just standing there, !huh! red cap no mine is wait but you red and green color blindness right, oh ya but is green too


oh-my-god it is so cool you are color blind, oh ya is it, perceived, difference, okay anyway, ya so I think I circle the ball and circle the leg then (ppb)


we must have more variation in the corpus so that, then you lost the cap


eh we need to be as singapore cannot cannot, ya its like this one is so like English listening comprehension, it's like so, this one got Heng Suay oh shit


must shuffle first, if not not fair, (ppc) [orh] okay


ya how, then we cannot tap on the table how is this, possible okay, okay just put it gently, oh so we get to see


or do you want to do it random, okay, okay, so I just put it face down then I just take the card there


that would be your , okay, oh, okay okay


count count [hmm] okay, uh my usual


it depends if I'm sleepy or not so if I'm sleepy and I want coffee, okay okay so the usual one would be like coffee or tea uh, either c and Siew-Dai


and usually I, cause the weather is very hot, so should I stay the whole phrase i think it will help right, ya so its either Kopi-C-Siew-Dai-Peng or Teh-C-Siew-Dai-Peng


oh cause the okay, I ask for less sugar before the government said so, ya ya because I just find it too sweet


eh politics is part of life, !walao! one point only, oh no I accidentally hit <unk> okay ya, but you have one point only


oh oh ya mine eh ya ya ya okay, !aiya! I just put it up, okay this one two points Kaypoh, what's the most busy body thing you've ever done


ah ya, !huh! means what


[orh] so it's not you Kaypoh but, okay, what okay, what did you just pluck it out from your head


okay, ah !huh!


okay


consolation prize ah, the pocket money one


so where's the Kaypoh part


oh after oh


oh okay maybe cause FaceBook lah so, uh okay, so not like you got some Kaypoh auntie


who will ask you or like, stalk your FaceBook, then say, oh Ren-Yang you did this ah, uh okay, can lah can lah give you like it's like okay


eh eh your turn your turn , wait the seed or the whole durian


actually I also never keep track, I guess probably like ten seeds lah, before I get full


eh very lame okay that's all, ya wait wait wait let me check if got, I'm just gonna remove all the one point one cause it's so, oh-my-god but the three point is like so like social study


okay wait wait wait let me remove all the, trivial one


as in as in, the one that I think will generate interesting, conversation


so this is the stack with the, wordy question, okay man, cabin, oh lucky cause ya I also don't know


okay okay Uber or Grab also can like


purposely okay k k


!wah!


got the


uh ya ya


so was it five star and like, give a compliment


oh wait oh oh oh [orh] [orh] [orh] Chey, ah okay can can


!wah!, why so Chim until I also don't understand one


uh no I only know Giam, mean means stingy uh, ya, what do I stinge or splurge on


uh I splurge on massages in JB, eh but it's not really a splurge okay it's a big saving, so it's like forty sing dollars, for like (ppc) ninety minutes


is a good deal, ya I highly recommend, oh I think Giam is stingy then, Ganah is


eh no no salted olives is so, like Hokkien people know what olives are meh like I thought olives is Ang-Moh one, okay k !aiya!, oh ya ya ya


best thing that can happen is you become Crazy Rich, worst thing is


you, uh what ya you what they call lah fall uh fall through the cracks, eh I thought supposed to be not political why got this question


oh oh oh oh oh, well it's part of daily life, okay k ya


okay I don't know lah I think kinda in Singapore we are quite numb also, like I don't know whether is like generally or is just me like it's just become numb to stuff because, like things always work, that's like


ya then it becomes Monday like it's always, like that so the, !huh! ya, oh oh oh there was a blackout last night did you


oh okay, no no uh I wasn't affected I don't know why, but the but then the internet got really slow, I think it has something to do with, the


blackout but I'm not sure, (uh huh)


(uh huh), !huh! so many times okay [orh] , okay


wait the power wasn't back yet


oh oh okay, then cannot check


you could have gone outside for a walk like people say it's quite scary, it's like just darkness, be because all the streetlights all the streetlights are off also, all the traffic light ya


ya, ya ya, oh no but even in the photos that they took right in the back, ground the sky was still very bright, so like the light is still coming from somewhere


ya best and worst I mean relatively, like in Singapore there was very bare, half an hour of no electricity


no, no no okay okay but but then I went to search like, just how just how reliable six wing horsepower is, so uh there's this metric that they measure is, time of disruption per person, so Singapore has one of the lowest so it's about one minute per person


so so in a year ya there's like one minute of disruption per person, and the next best city is Tokyo which is four minutes per person, then ya the rest of the countries just go like, twenty minutes per person or some


ya so, which which which also makes me think, uh maybe we should be diversifying our power sources lor, it no not just rely on Singapore power


ya ya, no but then the thing is uh, with that model right it's a, solar companies are selling their solar electricity to, the, so the supplier


is still SP, like it's like it's still Singapore power, and then and then you know like maybe lah it could be like hackers, testing out, next attack on the grid


ya you know then like they are still trying to find out ya smart nation cyber security, okay


!aiya! eat lah, I only know the


that's all


like you can collect antiques then sell to those hipster cafe, they will buy, oh oh my friend like, I guess she was like going through her stuff then she found out oh floppy disk


from like primary four or something, ya so like you know the save icon, like the save icon, always on the screen, ya so like you know nowadays people won't know why, the save icon looks like that


so that would be very valuable, oh ya not like in money lah but like, you know for like young people to understand technology


oh ya then and then and then after that because because now, because now you can't really get the floppy disk reader at any mall


so you probably have to, buy it from a Karang-Guni I don't know or like Carousell, ya so like I wonder what you find if you open up the file inside that primary four floppy disc, you know it is like a time capsule, then like you know


how your brain work when you're young, okay, oh ya if you keep, !aiya! so many filter lah, like you discard you discard all the


not fun one, oh no I already getting softer, eh why you getting softer ah


can you talk louder, make it closer to your mouth maybe


okay never mind just continue, oh no then like we will lose all the nuances of the language, okay okay okay


oh-my-god, don't know leh this is so like


because because the whole narrative of Singapore is like how we are always under track and we to do things to remain competitive so, like the mindset is more on like, how do I survive today, rather than having a dream


like I don't know when the like, eh you are like gone, K I think you need help, how to, no, how to call the person ah


oh maybe we were talking too loud just now, okay K, oh ya (hmm) I Singapore dream ah


no not we should like we have been, oh like we are, ya, ya so maybe that can be my dream lah right so my dream is that people dream


oh like people like start start, thinking about what, like beyond beyond themselves, you know like you know just beyond there like their job like how much they earning whether they can


ya ya, but then, how do I put it in word, do you know like maybe like if they worrying about them daily bread and butter issue then


no room to dream, ya so, but then but then, I don't think they will, like like we can't really save, okay here's the point where you have enough


you don't need to worry about like your daily living and you can start dreaming, I I don't think that will ever happen as well because people don't get contended


I don't know it is a bit hard to, okay okay like like compared to our parents, we are more


wait actually I am not sure, okay whether like rich or poor, people definitely have a dream right, today I don't know


ya ya ya ya so my dream is that people look beyond themselves and, become more vogue as well, to like issues that are not in their concern, need ah (ppc)


okay, aiyah, still a long way lah SG one hundred, retire already, like seventy ya, supposed to get back our CPF what is your dream


okay, (ppc) uh what's your most hated or liked


I don't know like maybe maybe an acronym that you think shouldn't be an acronym or like if not, worth shortening, ah what, there was the point of the acronym


I mean it it can be like in general like what do you think of acronym like, when is the point where it's too much, you know lah you know lah there are some cases where they like really force the acronym to be some fancy word like


uh wait forgot, confirm government will have one government will have like it's when they want to be like trendy and all, okay I can't think of any


okay K like, there's like smart, SMART, like the Singapore MIT Alliances for Research and Technology, ya


but then I don't know if they like, purposely do it so that it becomes smart, then, ya, what


(uh huh), ya that's


K I don't know, next


!huh!, probably never


there was some like year right [orh] twenty twenty the World Cup twenty twenty, maybe try like, giving more deferments to sportsman first


uh ya


!huh! never, or like it doesn't even matter, well but hosting the World Cup is a different thing, that would that would be more interesting


of course he won't be playing in it


wait isn't it the same magnitude, ya


ya so World Cup easier just play football only what, at once


Malaysia, maybe Batam lah Batam also can


[orh] then Singapore cannot you see because too rowdy, then must have police to watch


so how can we be a sports hub or not


okay lah actually I got no interest lah just like F-one like that I don't really care, wait who's turn is it my turn, !huh! oh one point


ah where should visitors go in Singapore to get a real sense of the country, this very important


Gardens-by-the-Bay uh Marina-Bay-Sands Sentosa Sentosa, Geylang


ah okay


wait who plan, oh


ya stay away from the CBD


wait we have water parks meh, what Wild-Wild-Wet ah


ya so where else should they go to get the real Singapore, then like you know like [orh]


okay ya depends on what story you want to, ya but definitely they should visit uh HDB estate, ya, okay


!huh! no no no no no that one is not really representative, must be like Woodlands, like Woodlands the really, uh ya ya but but, did not like really on the, like those you, those you must take bus to the MRT one


not like HDB hub this kind no no like further away you know, ya, actually that there's a


I think who ah I think it was Goh-Chok-Tong who came up with the term, as been applied applied this term heartland is to Singapore, like he was doing the period of like cosmopolitanism like the year two thousand, when my


we are like starting to get like foreigners and, in like, more more international lah then like there was this, uh my people were thinking oh no will we like lose our, culture or like will Singapore change so like


that's this idea like heartland are where the heart, is so like where you be like fully local, then the CDB is like where you're like cosmopolitan , ya so I think that's where the define, came in


ya, ya


conder ball


then what are they going to do with on the ball, like am am I on the ball, me ah(hmm)


I guess I'm not very on the ball, but then I also don't want to miss deadlines


I think I think cause you know like those people who walk on the ball like like, the circus, ya so to, remain on the ball, you must, keep


I guess I guess we balls there's like some motion but, with a tightrope is like people, like there's like anxiety and fear coming in whereas on the ball it's more like, a relentless effort you know


K I , okay probably didn't originate in Singapore it's like, okay next


oh very poorly, the Kampung spirit is a myth


I think there's a limit to how much you can, engineer relationships, like on paper you can be like really


keen to know cause I stay condo


ya not sure because because there's also this like project that, I think who HDB doing with task, task in the city D


ya so I think they're also trying to, like I think use design to encourage social interaction, ya ya ya there's there's, ASD together with, the husk


ya so, I guess the fact that they doing that, means that, people are not really interacting with each other, (ppb) but at the same time I don't think


like we have become, like it's not really our fault, because it's just like, the way things have turned out


it's like there is more emphasis on personal space and private space lah, I don't know eh, maybe it's just me but then I feel like there's like


we are more wary of each other, or like maybe it's just part of growing up, you know like maybe last time when you were a child you will just play at the playground, with strangers


ya, ya ya ya, it's like the closer you pack them the further they become, but then there's this article that like basically says the Kampung spirit is a myth


they must created by the government in response to the, relocation, it's like, is like you think about it lah Kampung started as a place like a village right, then why they add spirit


means it's not physically there, but then, they want you to believe that the spirit still remain, so we can remove you from your Kampung and put you in a, pigeon hole, but still say you got a Kampung spirit


so it's like trying to because like people won't, happy that, that that they were, relocated mah I mean even though they got like pipewater and electricity lah, which is like the uh basic needs


oh ya, ah today and the park, then, ya then like the like the article say that oh last time Kampungs was like very


very fierce and like people fight and steal and, like if not this like warm perfect place that we are being told like (ppb) be like neighbourliness


oh, oh okay


no leh but then base on the way its being promoted is Kampung spirit like, its promoted with like a sense nostalgia like oh lets go back to that time where, (ppb) then like you got things like, you know Kampung Admiralty, then like the big


ya because because I in Sembawang mah, and then and then like the Sembawang GRC then they will, like the who ah the Khaw-Boon-Wan will put, like his FaceBook page is like Kampung Sembawang, then I was like okay, Kampung Semba~


I mean its a good ideal to have, like would I wouldn't say no to like, friendly neighbor


oh okay


oh like if our way of bridging that divide but in our minds, oh no


but then that's from our perspective lah


uh I would say uh, I think Singapore is the only place where this is being romanticize, eh wait no I think the, Chinese government does that also


they were like, uh you know like uh the China has many ethnic groups, then (ppc) like, usually they only fit like, some, mountain in China and like be farmers


then are how then are how they are being portray in the, mainstream media in China is like they are just like the cultural people who like, live simple life and, make traditional costumes, (ppc) ya because because


they do not have a sense of, daily life like daily struggles like they are just, presented as some like cultural, commodity


wait our generation in China who who is that, oh oh okay okay, ya ya ya ya that's like a lot of migration to the coastal city ya


no but is similar what because you because you are just presenting, like, uh pretty version, of what the past is like not what it actually was, and is like usually for your own political game


ya, so like in the, Chinese case is to, (ppc) sort of show minority representation, but not truly, so so like they still say oh look we are so diverse


but then like these that minorities they are like just, things to export, then like to bring like is to, I don't know I guess is is like also part of nation building lah


is he ya, ya


so deep, oh ya who's turn is it now, I only have one, because I discard the not so interest


this one had no mind, sport hub bio hub media hub


education, health care !huh!, a center for


currently, financial hub lah, but then, travel hub, oh ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya


which is still happening here, medical tourism lah, AI !huh!


you know like, ah ya


ya ya


ya ya a hub is just a gathering of activities and people, ya research lor


do research ya, probably regional first uh


oh okay, ya, ya ya ya


ya so so so what's the next one, what should be our next source of income


ah like like all the urban urban farming all right, ya


how about we try to feed ourselves first , ya, uh(oo) ya ya ya


wait we got do that meh I thought, I know I know there's like hydroponics and like, indoor farms going on now


I don't think so but if, select ya ya ya so so it's, these like special breed, that they, not nice oh K K it's very different so so there's like, selective


I forgot the term, ah is it like something like, so you don't touch the genes, ya you you just propagate the one that has the traits that you want, and eventually


you will change the


oh like the diversity has drop


it doesn't grow well on, I guess the danger will be that it will be more susceptible to like a wipe out lor


so like if there's a !huh!, ah seed bank, like a storage, ya ya, it's on the like in, in the side of some mountain


so that when the world end you still can like, find a seed and grow it like a library of


ya ya ya ya a lot about we eat has been, over like since human started


I'll mean if government approve can eat lah, so


like immediate


someone has someone has to be the guinea pig, ya as long as we remember what we learn then will be fine


ya I think Singapore were just like, take whatever trend that's come, become a hub, ah ya cannot cannot ah


oh okay okay, we are kind on doing that, like, the


ya lah not really lah but, okay can, is still makes you money, I mean that's the whole point right like why are we being all these hubs


just to diversify our economy so that we don't just rely on !huh!, damn what, oh national pride lah


that's, that's why we are not really a sport hub lah that's we only got the sports hub


ya it all boils down to money, like, we are not so altruistic oh let's make people gather just because they can generate new ideas oh, ya really like it began from like the entrepot trade then like the petrochemical industry


then after that we're like oh no the Thailand want to build Carat Canal then no no then the who the JB eh, or Indonesia want to do a new port [orh], ya that's why the, the Singapore narrative is all about survival and


everything we do is just to survive, that's why uh #bao ka liao# lah, that's why like, you know like all the entrepreneurs, they will say oh at at the start I #bao ka liao#, everything also do


maybe this this is the Singapore spirit, we got the crazy-rich-asians that's a good start


although not, really in the positive like but, no I refuse to, you know you know uh, like some of the scenes are Cgi


and then and then some of them are stroke in Malaysia, ya ya the house or something then the background of the house is CGI, is there ridiculous


oh but then I am like if they're gonna continue making like the trailer G I think I will watch, because that's like uh rich rich rich rich people problems and and


what I, China like crazy China, girlfriend of nick , ya I think that would be, interesting


ya, okay, that's why is all the one point one that small in okay no no no


or your teachers who make your biggest different, I guess like they have the range, like a age range lah so got people who are like still in like secondary school then some of the questions


but you know you a bit old already, oh nothing, I wouldn't queue, cause is a waste of time, it's like I would


just wait for the queue to subside lah, cause Kiasu right !huh!


what


when you were in the UK were there a lot of queue or like do people queue for, don't know


but it's quite possible as well, ya but I, wouldn't no


but then if I'll to go by myself I wouldn't, but then if like with friends then I have no choice but to join, oh ya true


nope nothing nope wouldn't queue for anything


is there a similarity or difference , have we really changed or (ppb)


I don't know so hard to compare


ya I think, same generation would be more, !aiya! mean like it, like it could be also because like someone from like, a older generation will like just assume so purity and that's say


oh your young people don't know last time )ppo), you know , ya so, easier to feel more comradery with someone of the same generation


because our generation I think more woke about different cultures ah so, are more understanding and like it wouldn't be the point of different it would be like an interesting thing to talk about


K where but specifically about, generations in Singapore I think, we are quite different, cause in my parents generations it was the era of, nation states and like gaining independence


so I guess there was a lot of like fire and, !wow! we are independent, where for our case is like, when we are born is like okay already then like


working, so, like i feel like we are kinda, finding our own way, and like also you don't have a, charismatic leader like Lee-Kuan-Yew anymore, who like


ya ya he'll like, no like at the pace we're going


like, I feel like generation gap between like someone, of our age and someone who's like ten years younger already, so I wouldn't even begin to imagine like


ya at the pace where moving that's just, is already a lot


ya, ya lor, but then when you think about it, like is also the same for your parents want


like imagine you were their age, like did you think you would have this life now, like it would also be unimaginable


ya ya


(oo) ya, but in the way there's also like, same same but different, so lah we could be doing things differently but, that underlying thing is still the same


like


ya I think this is for different demographic, ya oh oh, oh you do it from here, oh ya ya those that I rejected


I don't even eat at the canteen anymore, ui just bring my own food from home ya, no no no, ya


one hour fifteen minutes


eh wait, optimization is, oh then too too late already what


ya ya cause September is the tone, advance ultimately


cause it's more focus lah, ya


about what doing the PHD


like January and September so


but you would have returned it for your masters right, oh you didn't have to, oh okay


oh ya , very short one


wait PHD one, it's [orh] okay maybe it's different, like different


I mean you have to submit the documents lah whether it get raid I don't know, oh ya ya ya like like you have already know


oh okay


nope, eh why so Hokkien ah, what happen to the, none Chinese


[orh] pound ah, so I am very interested


oh-my-god, at first at first I though they would like transcribe on the spot, so you don't have to do it, okay what I guess, because because like


you can get the contact, so so like you would know what card it is, ya ya


is like when talking to the person is gonna listen to this I don't know, ya do it for the money


no no but then I think what they gonna do is not just transcribing but, like does an analysis of what, the patterns are that's why they said do not sing, cause, they will they probably want to know what the


Caden is like, how does the pitch vary in the, ya


oh my hardly play game during recess lah, there's no time like you go can like last time recess only one uh only half an hour right


if like you see oh timetable there's like that very tiny ya primary school and secondary school, and JC also, ya is that half an hour break then then when you go down you queue you queue already fifteen minutes


then you only got fifteen minutes left to eat, then is like there goes your recess where got time to play game, ya lor


oh ya ya can can can free flow one uh, ya ya, really okay, but is quite different from undergrad though


oh have have have


the, ya, he's in band I think, so he still playing I think


oh ya ya ya they like, very out of place, oh if no one, ya


but right for me lah I kind of cannot relate, cause it's like changing for example like the ESD curricular has changed, then like, the feeling uh feeling also different uh


it is like you are physically there but you know you are not really part of, ya because also the undergrad program is like, the main business


ya like you you are you are always reminded that you have graduated, it's on Saturday no idea, uh I want to stay, and sleep


did I, ya ya but, but not, during the graduation lah, Monday to Monday ya ya


UCL, like in London London, very expensive you know ya, oh wait but but he under scholarship


worried, tax payers money


who is like so preachy like, I don't know lah you talk lah like what interesting things can you come out of this, uh it should be hardworking


ah ya, what ah what uh there's always a hungrier foreigner ah there it like like someone, ya


you see I give like the whole, is like everything we do in Singapore is out of fear, ya which is very sad


!wow! they really have a range of age groups, I guess if they get like, adult maybe like


oh-my-god, they would they would just start comparing I tell you oh you know my child my child very good one , !wah! my child ah the teacher say this one can


let see where are we, students ah, okay I don't want to talk about


ya wait wait wait let me just take a look at all these stock, ya you see like, they are all very material and, like like it's all this lah like


how to say like like, very, day to day and like, trivium


email lah, (ppb) no but the the partner should be someone you know well like who will invite a stranger, to talk for two hours in this close room with like microphone


I think will totally get judge by the who ever listening to this


ya ya ya, no nope


uh okay


no, cause you will puke again uh ya


[orh] is it cause amsterdam, then why they make you pee ya, okay, wait did you look like you, okay maybe you are unwell that


so did you leave the hotel


were you the only one, no like who got stalk to check and like Pee and


look like Singaporean, you drink water lah [orh] okay, ya ya ya ya


or you go buy the duty free then you come back


cannot just wait meh, like cannot wait, ya


I mean in got three or four people watching you means they also nothing to do lah, like why need so many people to, the ya


oh you need SMS ya ya ya


actually why, ya maybe there should be other ways, instead of urine, like maybe just, like the, the like for the diabetes one, that will be faster


<unk> ya why never do that


they are so inefficient right like you ya, oh


(hmm) okay


I mean also can be they got nothing to do and, alright you can just faint then nice okay


ya but at least you be like in bed, and like, [orh] okay, ah you you have vomit in


(hmm) become (hmm) exchange student ah exchange student go Europe (hmm), uh maybe like if we are too liberal in your comments also they will like say this one


ya I should


I mean if they really want to catch can like make make it more, efficient, like on the plane or I don't know like how


[orh] like like to oh okay


wait they are the customs or the, then is the one before you leave


or cause you must enter Singapore then, okay


(hmm) not link one ah, no ah but then they know that, so did they ask for your passport, as in they just see [orh] Singapore then the how they know your flight


oh there's only that one, oh there's only that one flight oh okay


but I don't know like about that law what if you have marijuana in your blood then, that's a bit like


as in not smoke weed then immediately come back lah


why does it stay so long, but it's a bit, infringing on like your body already lor it's like, because because all of these drug law


the main thing is to stop trafficking, so like other than that what you do to your bodies is your problem, just don't like cause harm to others


ya ya, like a main or like a main, motivation, stop trafficking because because last time, Singapore like like what Thailand Malaysia all because the, got ya ya ya correct, ya ya really like they say what uh some like triangle


lah, so like basically they will just, the drugs around ah, and then like something like people also like use Changi Airport, so so so like when people are transiting right then


ya so like that's how it, but then what's what's inside your body, there shouldn't be


ya that's the very singaporean


so funny how we have like the passport with the, most number of visa free countries but, other freedoms we don't have, well it is part of daily life


eh but then there's quite a interesting history, (ppb) I think but I didn't really go and read, like the, stands on truck, did Singapore I think, like I, I I think it has something to do with like Americans


then like you know last time is, ah what uh men cannot have long hair all, then then like, like if you look like a hippy then you go


(ppc) don't know need to read up but , got but but then got history one like its not, aiyah Singapore's very, like like, was it like oxymoron


so like its not entirely consistent one, so like sometimes ah very pragmatic, then suddenly we will be oh cause must see the morals, ya whatever is convenient so


err I don't know, eh ya I don't know how, random utterance to show uh


empathy and, like like like you sort of, give up or like, ya, is like


ya, about peeing and oh did I tell you my brother went to jail cause of drugs also, is something like !huh!, !huh! personal story cannot ah


is it cause no controversy, conversations arise from okay, okay can


uh something more mundane ah, uh my wrist, nearer is it, oh oh to


ya ya ya so, my research is about emissions modeling, ya so, these models will, uh beyond just CO-two lah, so like other pollutant, that are also harmful


ah ya so the, so the main one is to study those models like the current ones out there


then like take a look at, what their flaws are, and like compare them to each other, oh okay, ya ya, so, wait what was it, ya ya uh compare them to each other so like if you feed


them a similar input, then, how would the outputs change, or like be different from each other then like , try to explain why, and like, how different are they


so they are a few main categories they are some models, okay like they basic go from the, uh top down, from like very large scales like network wide, so that one would usually use things like vehicle mileage


uh and like average speed, to like get the, steam white estimate of the emission, then like it can also go down to the level of uh instantaneous models


so where you go at the vehicle level and like second by second how much, emitting, based on its current speed, uh its acceleration it's, weight that is carrying


oh oh oh oh ya ya ya like ya like ya like if you want to, ya you can also aggregate that, so like one other like research thing that people say like its still uh open, topic is that


logically if you aggregate the instantaneous models, get uh, more accurate, picture of, the emission of an entire system, but ya sometimes it's not the case


because because, you know like the more complex models you have the more, the data matters right, so the data quality and how its been measured so, as of now I think I'm not sure but


probably like in the twenty first century lah, so the models have been more complicated but the data has not, kept up the pace, so what happen is you're just propagating all the uncertainties in the data


so like rubbish in rubbish out lah, so like you can have a very sophisticate model but all the predictions are like, very bad, ya that's like one possible reason


ya ya then then also one problem is, that's like a whole zoo of emission models out there like every Tom Dick Harry want to make their own emissions model, based on their own calibration their own experiments usually only on like ten vehicles


so that's like so many models and, very few of them are actually validated, so is like they just make, they just make the model then they just stopped there then they say


ya so so like it doesn't, ya but I'm also like limited, by what I can do lah because I, do not have access to a vehicle and I cannot


you know there's no technology yet that can, easily and cheaply measure emission, such a high resolution, so okay so how is done is if you want to measure the instantaneous, emissions of a vehicle right


you basically have to take the tail pipe, then you connect a pipe, then like you put it through this big machine which like occupies basically the whole back seat, and then it will analyze the gas


ah ya la but, I guess, ya, so is not really portable yet, so you can't really equip every vehicle with like a sensor, ya ya ya so so I think the next important step


would come from, preferably something that you can just clip on to


ya ya the hardware needs, but, ya so that's probably what, like one of the, but I haven't actually done it yet


like I haven't really show, that he, show that, better measurement methods are needed lah, and that it is actually worth, so like <unk> basically i need to show that everything out there sucks


and like the answer is not another emissions model, a better way to measure, ya because we have all these things like, oh ya so so like in my literature review I probably


look at, at more advanced model like those that you, you know like that's the in thing lah like machine machine learning, is like is basically, a model lah, but the thing is you need a lot of data for them lor


there are a lot, another criticism would be that with, with neural networks it's just going to be a black box, ya so you, like it would not be easy to extract meaning from that so like for example if, (ppb) like, uh you have this new emissions control technology


that like you now want to predict it, it's potential benefits on emissions then, you can't really use a neural, network that you have trained cause, it's going to be totally different behaviour, ya


probably confirm got LSTM one uh what, the wave net, so meta, it's a the neural network learning about itself


no no NLP not yet this one is just speech recognition, then probably think in to text, then from the text then you feed, oh oh oh have you have you heard the, Google'a latest Wave net


so so uh so like they have a new version of the text to speech then, is like basically how they make it sort of more realistic lah, I don't know lah you have to hear it for yourself I can't, emulate it for you


ya, is so, !huh!, oh, ya, then right maybe, I don't know lah cause personally right I find that when I use


Google assistance or the voice typing, I feel like it like can recognize my voice very well, ya I don't know whether is, beacuse i participated in the, thing you know like, maybe cause it's like trained according to, is like my voice is somewhere there so


so like now when I use the product then is like, I uh I can just speak very freely, like like I don't need to properly enunciate and it will still, convert my, speech to text, but then like say when my father does it like using the same phone right then


or like maybe cause they calibrate, at the start when you say okay Google, I'm not sure


ya but, like literally your voice, he had to build a better, representation of, English I think I think is also very important for like, to recognise that they are different varieties of English


that not all English should have like, some UK or US accent


or someone with a Scottish accent try to, uh okay


ya ya ya, oh ya because the England and Scotland oh okay, ya you believe us


how to say, like emphasises like it it addresses the point that, human society is very diverse, ya the


the things that we build should, should fit us instead of, the other way around, motherhood instead, oh uh ya ya ya ya which is why the


training the training side very important


ya like if say you are, like doing this, effort, just for your own company, but then like nowadays there's only like open data right am I, like is about building a compass that other can use it as well


you will a bit like short term to just think of your, like like your intended market that will cause, it's definitely going to expand


come closer, now is in front, oh ya ya so


uh ya ya ya what about the razor ceo, oh okay, outside of Singapore


ya ya the razor pay like is either in Malaysia


wait you mean in the you mean in the UK, you didn't have much, ya ya


so you just pay by contactless everywhere uh okay, k I guess in Singapore you can be cashless, but it's gonna be expensive, it means that you will like


eat out at ya ya cannot eat at hawker center, except for, some hawker centers that, accept the the that the QR thing now, ya


but I think there's still like mix, signals from companies leh, so like for example there's this, uh charge, I think is a extra charge if you use, like a credit card or or something


and then like they will still have policies like oh uh Nets only can be more than ten dollars, then otherwise but


then what do you pay by


yes, yes, yes


so do I, yes, yes what is she carrying, uh she's carrying in my picture she's carrying a shoe


one side of the shoe a pink shoe on the uh in her left hand, okay so we do have one difference here, okay, no she's not wearing anything


yes she's not, one, just take it as one first, okay there's a lamp post there's a lamp post it says guest speaker Bill Clinton


the lamp is just behind the lady, yes it's some point near the end uh the bottom ya it's just at eye level, so it's not there not in your picture


there's a cat, yes what's the colour of your bench


yes trimming, kind of brownish, okay, so what's the colour of the cat, yes, no it says mine says we sell antiques


yes, there is a brown shape, there's a brown wooden building that says, mine says we sell antiques it's a brown wooden building uh


okay so that's the difference, yes, yes, yes


yes, three items right the third row is three items as well right, ya I think we can skip that can we go to the next building


place your bet no it says bet here, no ah, no this is white a man in white tuxedo


yes, yes, yes, yes, it has a sign is a sign a uh sign of the shop that sales


says sells betting shop, S A L yes S A L, on the roof


mine says bet here, which we already identified as a difference so now there is a name to the shop that says sells, betting shop do you have that on the roof okay so that's the other difference


no mine is different mine is bet here, okay so this is the other difference, okay this identified as a different, okay then there are two birds


okay, yes, err mine is red, so is yours brown or red


okay, yes so do I, yes, yes


yes, yes, yes, yes, one open one close, and white


there's a sign on the window the glass panel that says shine all day with pearl toothpaste, so that is different


okay, I have nothing, no nothing


yes, yes, yes, is light blue with uh dark blue background


is white colour the words are white, !huh! dark blue, okay good


yes, ribbon, yes, yes, and one with a so call a, a vest, a red vest one is with red


ribbon one is with red vest, okay the one on the right is with the vest, the one on the left is with the ribbon, so this is the difference, the right


on our right is the one with the vest, on our right, mine is the vest, okay


so what's the door is there a door, okay, okay, yes


okay two, cloud, above, okay, yes


yes, okay, why not we go to the cafe, what does it say


okay what's the uh colour of the word, the cafe, okay the roof, yellow, okay, there's a awning


okay, okay, white and brown, okay, yes


yeah, yup, yes, yes


yes, yes, yes what colour, yes, three of them, okay, how about the other one there


okay so, okay mine is different, the wordings are different it's, Petes world of, pet


okay, yes, yes


yes, okay on the door on the door on the door there's a sign that says open


small sign against pink background


okay, is it, is more pink more pinkish is the same colour as a, uh the the yes, so okay there's a girl, yes, she's in green


light green dark green, her is stripe, shirt err stripe dress, yes


yes there is, yes, no it isn't mine isn't, ya so this is a missing one


one two three four, five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve we got all of them, do you have twelve, counting the pair of shoes as one


one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve


okay we are done we are done with this exercise this game so now let's do it the cards, okay, why not I give you


okay, uh describe, describe the place you call home in Singapore


so the memories are all about having friends in the house, memorable


Makan, okay, let me give you another one


how about, about what's the one thing about Singapore, that should be preserved for the next generation


which building in particular do you think should be preserved


knowledgeable


okay, what's the best Lobang you have ever received or shared


okay, err which was your best, or worst subject in school, ya your best or your worst


whichever


so he makes the topic relevant


okay, okay, okay, what do you always complain about


so err which Singaporean dead or alive, do you most admire


okay why


okay, did did you mess up, okay, okay, so which place in Singapore, made the biggest impression on you as a kid


do you go to , any, funfair


okay, change alley


so that that place where there was a big fire


okay, err if you want to escape the, crowds the best place to go is, why


okay, which aspect of old Singapore do you miss the most


how about Satay, the Satay stretch, yes the old Satay uh yes


uh okay, that's good, okay, what single piece of advice would you give in non Singaporean friend who's moving to Singapore


yes that's that's right I know that


you you you, how about, hawker centre is that a shop to them when they come


okay, do you tell them much about our multicultural and multiracial society


okay how about what, err you okay think of your favorite, Singlish word or phrase, explain guess or make, make up it's origin


or did you want to pass, you can pass this, okay, okay what did you collect as a hobby when you were growing up


so how do you prepare the stamps for uh, keeps it
