Australia, because he used to be a, poly graduated and then he works in Saudi-Arabia for about two years the money is good, the money is good but then is tough lah, so he used that money that he earn from Saudi Arabia right


to study in a UWA, as a civil uh, engineer so I mean I belong to generation you you you have to work your way up, so is like you know so, at that point in time when I go Australia, Perth probably the tour is about thousand plus so to me you know you you know I need to wait


wait wait for annual bonus and so on you know so that at least you know with the bank minimum, then from there on I progress lah, you know to go to like Japan, and then New-Zealand and so on and see so this is part of my, so called uh seeing is believing


so so to me uh to talk about holiday is something that, if I can afford it I'll do if I can't afford it then then then can't just just can't


ya so I'm I'm so the the two trips that, brings uh memories to me you know , like my US trip, because I go with my colleague from other departments, and then also my colleagues some of them engineers R-and-D engineers they were being to US you know for training right


so you know it's kind of like, it it it it's a, best of both worlds you know so it it it's also a holiday at the same time also you know uh field trip, visit my hq which is was like never thought of to see so I mean to be given due respect something like I never expect


so so now when you talk about holidays it's something like you know, it is, no so so holidays to me you know it's good to have, but it's not the number one priority now


because, no you have, to make sure that you know you you live within your means, so holidays is good to have but not a necessity, luxury so, I think I'm just glad that when I was still working right I manage to cover the places that I have always wanted to go uh and when I went to UK


that was because my my cousin, she's a Malaysian but she works in Singapore so being an accountant by, profession right, you know she knows how to, best way you know to to get cost saving, so in order to save the UK ticket right


from Singapore travel to London right, she actually bought the ticket from jb, so which means it's gonna be a cost saving because the the currency is paid in in Ringgit, so what I did was I took a shuttle flight from Singapore to kl, whereas from her from jb right she took the flight to kl so kl is the main main hub


so so we took the flight uh I can't remember which flight so it's a direct flight to London, the London and then she also made connection with her classmate, her classmate well uh married you know uh and stayed in


so it's outskirt right it's outskirt so you, so that's a way to catch up you know with a with a friend right so what we did was in the day time right, we we travel around on our own, in the evening we, so I think it it's a good coverage is like you don't feel so stress out


so we we manage to cover places like uh William, uh William-Shakespeare's home William-Wordsworth, you know we go to Cambridge, Oxford you know, so all these is still within the close, and then we actually took, uh bullet train in


you know to France and, so so this is another way of, covering, all depends on how you want to make-up, you know the the tour to your liking, (ppb) ya so, I I normally don't travel with anybody


but like I say, you really have to adapt lah, right have to adapt so, now is, not something you know I, can share because I I haven't been travelling for quite a while


then try to play the cards, see anything that we we can, we can just churn on, ah just now that question that you know I was asking, you asking me right the big right what would you do


if you won ten million dollars I already answered my share what about yourself


so now who so now, no so so so now who is attending to his need


so now who is his caregiver your brother, so she don't don't get the uh helper is it


so what he got spinal injury or what


degenerate ah


okay so maybe you want to pick up one of the question to see whether which question you just want to share with, you want you want me to, share


uh like I say Singapore, do have <uh Com-Chest you know if you need help the poor can seek financial assistance and so on, what pains me is that those people elderly folks right, you know they could be in their seventies or eighties


they are cardboard, collectors, so I and I came to know uh this founder who actually you know uh, found this so called organisation, uh it's call happy people happy foundation


so it's purely more on a voluntary basis, so but this, seems to be a very success, outreach program he posted in in Facebook, so what this organisation did is that every month


uh they will get volunteers, and of course probably also some people with a some kindness, you see uh, uh basically they go by zone they have Bedok area they have #jalan besar# they have Chinatown blah blah and so on right


so every month uh these people will go there, uh then they will make sure that, give this, old folks right the voucher so that they can get their, daily meals, from the kopitiam or or or the economy rice stall


because rather than, give them you know food everyday because sometimes they sell Karang-Guni, the the timing may not be right, so this voucher is like valid for let's say ninety three dollars, basically for that month and depending on on the sponsorship lah, and uh to bring this


old folks out right for some, chilling or or or fun right, they can organise uh karaoke and so on so uh I participated once, as a volunteer where we brought, uh about hundred over people you know these old folks uh to


Sentosa, let them take the cable car ride and then all these costs money you see, then cable car ride then also the food for for for the old folks and then you still got to rent uh wheelchair, and then uh so this is something like you know I thought I will never have the chance to do it


right but then you see for them, when they sell their, cardboard collectors right how much can they earn a day only a few dollars, so with the kind gesture of these people right they really do it willingly, and sometimes if they pay them like give them twenty dollars NTUC voucher to buy food rationing also because


if you were to apply for government public assistance right probably the procedure is too long, so to me, is is is the kindness that you know brings a smile to them, right so I remember I bought a, Pau you know for this old lady she's she's single she's about seventy two years old


you know the the Pau you know, uh steam right it's hot right it sticks to the to that paper right she say never mind I go back you know I will try and and and, steam up that thing so you know what I mean so these are the little things that count then, is because good deeds you know can go viral


can go viral so to me is like doing pro bono but, is still being run success, so because you see when they sell this cardboard how much can they earn a few dollars only right, so sometimes of them they they are single right, they are so old folks then they got no body to celebrate Chinese New Year


so even have sponsors like you know, cater one special reunion dinner for them so these little nice special gesture you do, pro bono not not to tell the world you know you are doing good deed so, we are all part of this so call aging


you know if if this thing can happen to others it can also happen to me, right so ya so so today is like good deed doesn't means like, you you need to contribute in terms of, dollars and cents is the charitable work that you do right and then people remember you for for for your kindness so I I think this is


to me uh, I classify as uh pro bono, okay what motto do you live by


I I'm not too sure, you have any other version, okay, okay so so it's the same principle lah


my last supper ah I see how much my stomach can can can fill in ah right because I, if eat too much right will been indigestion right, so I guess probably a mixture of Indian food, you know little bat bite size Indian food you know Chinese, Malay


right so, I wouldn't mean one specific dish lah probably is a bite size in a in a platter form right, who would I eat lah it all depends on who who is the one who who brings value you know and make, make my life you know


the the best out of the best, you you you won't know who is your best friends right who is the person who you can call, uh immediate uh siblings or or immediate kin unless the person really stand by, so I I don't have any specific person in you won't know until you know


the day come when you are at your most uh, lowest point in your life


ya some of them maybe good at answer but maybe could be a different version right, this one can be very sensitive catch and release how do you know when to let go someone


okay so this is is already answered already cause just now we went through a bit fast right, okay what about this one did I miss out earlier on course correction


okay what what would you would you want to answer this question, if you only had one more year to live what would you change about your life now


I'm not too sure whether did I answer that question, if I already answered that question but maybe I'll just reiterate again uh, childhood, uh probably you know


I was being brought up in a Kampung environment uh I used to stay in uh #Geylang Serai#, so I don't speak Malay but, I don't I don't speak Malay because I was too young, uh but my, father you know, uh seems to converse very well with


Malay Kakis and so are the Kampung Kakis, I remember that uh when you mention the word innocence right, because that point in time there's no no no computer games and then no specific toys and so on


so I remember, games like, in the olden days uh nineteen sixties and so on uh maybe now it's still being practiced like you know, games that the board games like the Ludo snake, uh Snake and Ladder you know that kind of thing


uh where, four four, four family members you know can play just just nice right and then like the Old-Maid, or Donkey you know these are the cards game where it doesn't cost a lot of money, but it it brings, laughter, especially when you get Donkey or get Old-Maid get everybody kind of scared away and then you know


like like a happy family you know uh what snap or whatever lah so this the card game I remember the uh SG fifty right, that they bring back all these old old old old games like ya ya ya, S SG SG fifty that time they give, SG fifty ya because these are the old old old days that Singapore's you know memory so


correct correct so, you know no no such thing as computer or or or anything that you you need to, so these are the simple, Kampung days that I'm, being brought up innocent lah


so, that that's what I mean by innocence childhood then you you don't feel the stress, because last time no such thing as you must go to Kindergarten, it's like now, no no last time, no I think I may have but then there's no such thing as preschool or don't know what uh uh uh


childcare or whatever, ya so I mean that that was that that was the time lah when and if you were to ask me age or innocence right so you you you don't know


so you just live live you know, life without knowing what what is importance of money what what what is examinations cause you don't know, so I remember that when I go to primary one right I, don't think I know how to speak English, probably it was my sisters


taught me simple words like you know, uh colour the pale blue you know colour the whatever is because they are very much older than, so these are my first, so called English, version not like nowadays kids right, !woah! foreign language and the all all kinds of


ya not English is like you know they, you know they are multilingual, then now because of the YouTube generation right you know they watch everything from YouTube you know kids right now ah they play their toys is they play with tablets right, I mean they they, you know the way they they seems to enjoy you know playing the


so it's it's a different different platform altogether


so so, I mean this some times like , when you have to do you do it lah, right you have to follow the trend right you cannot be so laid back right


ya so so I can say its its a mindset just like, if you ask me about career right you know I don't think I will fare very badly yes right now you give me a job I may stumble, you know for the first, few weeks, but then if you give me a chance right you know I I think you know its the matter of giving me the confidence


I should be able to pick up, so


but, yes I I agree with you you know because its like when you are on a job right nobody is going to teach you right but then because you are time driven, if you cannot produce a job all eyes will be on you just like when I do you know assignment right because for confidential reason I'm not allowed


you know to touch and so on, but because you don't have the resources, and then finger will be pointing at you you know why you didn't do a good job its not that you don't want to do because you don't have the resources, you see eh so, so its is it is a challenge to yourself


is a challenge to yourself but again if you give me time right you know if I understand how it works right probably I will not fare, that badly so so so so that that's where every organisation that I work right, I can make all, the foolish mistake that is unheard of


but I learn the hard way at the end of it all let's say if I'm able to, understand where the flaws comes in right, I'm in a better position you know to explain to the other presence, because I understand how it works already but of course


I stumble lah along the way you know so there's no hands on


so any other question that we are supposed to pick on, ya so I mean some some of the topic we we may actually cover but doesn't matter lah maybe it's a it's a different different flow right ya


cause even if you say there is like too many question I may I I may actually you know overlook, the questions being ask right, I'm not too sure whether this one was answered by you or answered by me


okay the mutant power right I think you ask me the question right if you could wake up tomorrow morning with a special ability, what would you have


what is my true home ah, true home is, a home, I can look forward to everyday uh, where the basic necessities are being met too


and then somebody you know who is there, share the dailies activities you know it could be interesting it could be mundane, or it could be boring right but I think what's what's


is important that you truly have a listening ear, somebody who who whom you know, needs to be there when, he or she needs to be so it could be a listening ear or it it could be you know to share, the worst fear


or you know the happiest moment so uh this is what I would say call home lah


so some some of them some of them is like if is like, ask already it doesn't matter lah is like maybe you have a different version right


okay this is something that every woman would uh, can't run away do you enjoy doing chores what is your favorite


what stresses or destresses you ah, sometimes you have high expectation you take things for granted, is like thinking that !ah! let's say this a dream job, thinking that you fare well in in interview but eventually you didn't get the job so, (eh) it could be from stress


and then it turns out to be destress it's like well it's okay you know, maybe you know this is not your calling, or maybe the chemistry is not there, so, I have to learn to tell myself you know it it's the inner voice that tells me


well if this thing doesn't work well then look for other options, you see because you you can't hang on to the past you see if you dwell on to the past right, it doesn't make you feel good, so, my philosophy is like don't live life with regrets


I mean, it's best that you, you project yourself as somebody ah, whom people can respect you wholesomely rather than you know to give a false image so, that's how I I would, take it as uh stresses or destresses


okay about this is something uh about your personality trait uh the inner fibre


what personal trait do you like most about yourself, is a personality trait


okay, so being honest about yourself


literally character, do you most identify literal character ah, literacy character, because this word, literary character is a very generic word you know I am not


too sure whether, am I in a position, to identify myself with because I have not used this this, word character before, so I guess


being literary character means what, being being being, to me I would I would take it as what, being highly educated, that doesn't mean that you're being well mannered right


so literary character means what, so I I don't know so if I will interpret, literary character means what, being being highly educated doesn't mean that you're well mannered right


it's not that you have to be arrogant and aloof, uh that that that's that's my version


okay I think we we we'll skip that, and then this part earlier on I've


okay anyway uh back to this question which I answered earlier on what about your version in terms of a symbol


like everything to be equal, sad to say in life right, nothing's equal, if everything is equal there won't be poverty there won't be poverty there won't be a class divide, there won't be class divide ya so


you can turn back time what's the one thing you could have, done differently ah, well time and time and time wait for no one right you know, you you can't turn back the time right but you just tell yourself you know


when you are alive and, still kicking right you know you just tell yourself do more good deeds, you know, be there for the person you know when you think that you know an out stretched hand


you know it's more helpful, through the nice gesture that you do, the small little kind deeds that you do right I mean, uh what I'm referring to is maybe like you see you know an old folks you know, uh with nobody you know to to


help her you know to cross the road and then you know then with no proper, hand clutch or whatever you know so it to use umbrella you know as a holding stick right, it is not the right way so when you see foresee a danger is coming right


then, try and help at least you know give her a helping hand so, like I said this is not something that you know I can turn back but then it's only through observing, and then as you grow, older right you realise that you know


ageing gracefully is part and parcel of life so, I mean I may not realise it twenty years ago but now probably I'm, more able to emphasize ah, to be more endearing


okay over here is something to do with friendship, that's what you see honestly is it


okay


what do you most like to eat in the whole wide world ah, !wah! food is always something that's close to my heart, but then like I say you know I have to tell myself I only have one stomach right and I cannot, grabbing all food at one go right


so it goes to say that everything eat in moderation, so that probably you will enjoy it more rather than, sick of eating the same big, round of food, right then you and then you kind of like you know you you


you would want to abstain from, in future already because it's kind of like you know you you see big, portion of food


okay this one also back to your character flaw what, personal trait do you dislike most about yourself


uh earlier on as I mentioned you've you have posed this question, previously I normally don't read, but like I say you know I I think spiritual ya, Buddhism teaching somehow they helps


my top three on my bucket list, poverty you know be a thing of the past, to be able to uh live life to the fullest


uh that's number two, and then on uh top three would, being, stay healthy and have


okay back to this mystery guess if you could have an, hour long conversation with anyone at all who would you, talk to


describe the most embarrassing moment of your life ah, I think probably many things happen to my, life before embarrassing but then it's just like you you wish that, you don't want to recall it's like you just you you you you want to erase the memory right ya I I I think


I'm someone right, who is quite, bad in terms of uh remembering you know who I just met and so on, right and then like right now I I may have just met you write tomorrow I may not know who you are, so is like I I I don't mean you know to be


proud or you know, to be somebody aloof right but it just that, people have to come and tell me like, I I just met you yesterday right that kind of thing you cannot remember me so it it is not and then it is happening to me all the time, and then especially right now I attend a lot of workshops and classes right you know uh I


some people says I'm friendly say I mean they they say I projected being friendly you know and nice right, but then the worst thing is that networking is not my cup of tea, so I always attend workshop you know or any seminar I always try to, skip that ice breaker so I always perpetually attend fifteen minutes late so I don't even know who is who


right, and at the end of the workshop or or seminar I'm the first one to leave, so which means to say that I literally never mix around, you see but, what intrigues me how come people can remember me, I I don't know mean I don't talk a lot you know in in in the session


but, some of my classmate of my acquaintance will tell me, you know but when the trainer or facilitator ask questions right I was able to answer intelligently, and probably I can articulate well that's why people remember me so I I don't know so to me is and


probably happening to me all the while it goes in circle I don't know I don't know, I don't know


okay this part I think we want to end this session with this one how do you want to be remembered


okay, so I guess probably we finish up another one one last round lah, can we just wrap up, done already ah

now on to the cards, first eh uh uh eh, what would you queue for in Singapore


so for food and clothes, what's the longest time you've had to queue, for something


the longest time I've ever queued for in, is for a ride in Universal-Studios, is like over an hour like almost two hours


my usual order is, Teh O, sometimes I say, sometimes I will order Kopi Siew-Dai


which is less sugar, coffee less sugar


Singapore should become the next hub for, Singapore should become the next hub for


research hub is it research, financial hub


eco-friendly hub, sustainable sustainable hub


I think it's my primary school teacher, she's called madam Chong, ya she was my primary one and primary two teacher she was really, strict, and I remember she keeps screaming at us, and she can be quite frightening sometimes


and I think she molded to how I am today like, the shy person that I am (ppb), ya as in I remember whenever she scream or she shouts her stomach will move


ya, and I think it would it was quite comical sometimes, and she, she always shouts at us, she's forever angry I don't know why and she teaches us, almost all subject, English math science


except for oh ya except for PE, what about you


oh there's also another teacher in primary, five and six, is called Mister, Salleh, he he can't really teach, but all I know


he made, he made my sister and I cry, and there's another teacher also in primary four, is called Mister Ang, we cried in class, I cried in class, on my birthday cause


I don't know he scolded us until we cried, so that was pretty traumatizing


so it was a good thing


okay, next count right, faster finish homework, which was your best or worst subject in school


what was your best subject in school


oh


ya I also don't really have a best, cause is like always up down fluctuate throughout the year, and maybe I I do have a favorite, which is Geography


but is not necessary my best subject, and the worst subject, I think it would be Chinese


no, I speak English at home, and ya I've always, I've been doing not so well in Chinese this whole time in my schooling years


oh ya I also I, also enjoyed PE


feel healthier, does recess count as a subject


okay, oh science, science in primary school


like learn it for fun but not like for exam, same for geography [orh] I want to learn it for fun, yes I totally agree with that


is it a chore


okay uh math, mathematics


oh what about secondary school you have E-math and A-math, at first I was bad too but I had tuition so it help me


then in JC math was difficult, H-two math


then for, project work in JC


ya project work, taught me how to, work in groups, how to make a, proposal, how to like site stuff use references and


if you make a claim you have to put evidence there, ya it taught me that I think that's pretty useful


I think they should preserve the forest, all the primary forest especially, like #Bukit Timah#


what central catchment wherever, they should preserve that for the next generation, and the Botanic-Gardens too, because I think, deserve to have the


plants, what about you


any other things, that you think should be preserved


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


I think I miss, uh the world without, phone, that was Singapore, without phones


and I also, miss the, those old those those shops, by the roadside, there used to be some shops that, where is that place, I don't know somewhere in town my parents used to bring me there back in two thousand and five


I think it's in, is it's near #Paya Lebar# it's near Singapore-Post, either there or, somewhere else in town


ya I used to buy like stickers, after we ate at Pizza-Hut we will go there and buy stickers and, buy toys, and then I will see group of ladies doing lion dancing


okay, difference I think it would be


technology, the ability to use technology


really okay, any similarities, I guess


some certain values, would be similar like cause your parents would teach you certain values that, they value, !wah! being hardworking, being like


being obedient, and being filial


okay, next question, what's the best Lobang you've ever received or shared


what the hell, a whole opening or opportunity what's the best opportunity, you've ever received or shared, okay next skip this question

I don't know man


oh maybe I don't, I heard that, my aunt, knows, Joseph-Schooling's mum


but I'm not really related so I don't know


I guess, the worst thing that can happen is, failing all my subjects in school, and getting kicked out, suspended, expelled expelled from school


I think that would be the worst thing that can happen also, uh maybe probably catching a disease or something


the best thing that could happen is, if you do well you get highest distinction, you get like first class honours, and you land yourself a super, job a super good job that you're passionate about


that can be the best thing that can happen also, uh maybe, I mean that is for career wise, and maybe for like, uh your love life, you probably get


find a your partner or something, ya a perfect partner, that is the best thing that can happen and also maybe you can buy a house


agreed, next question, what can you do to help the uncles and aunties, clearing tables and sweeping floors, well, you could return your trays


ya, ya, and don't try not to make the table dirty if you make it dirty you should clean it


ya eat eat carefully don't, eat too messy


okay, send a message


I would probably, send a message to the, group of, young students


maybe uh uh primary school or secondary school, I will tell them to, enjoy your school life, and enjoy the learning process


not, and don't like, study for the sake of studying, and also, don't break the law

okay next, would you rather have kids or pet


same, even even though I know like it's difficult to raise kid, it's challenge


but I think it's worth it, cause you get to see you get to bring up uh uh someone


and and you can talk to this, little person, I mean ya I would, I would rather have kid


if I can if I could, if it's like if I also have the money, like the financial means, if not, I think, is either have kids or


or I'll think again, ya


having kids you can talk to this, person I guess you can teach it, teach him or her, kids is more has more responsibility


think is is !aiya! is better ya, no I think pets is like shorter period I think I don't know, cause I don't really have pet, actually so


I think we are the minority, who thinks kid, they rather have kids than pet

most used


LMK, let me know at first I didn't know what it is only recently then know what it means


I like that one, KIV, keep in view

say nowadays becoming hot and the past few days is it didn't rain or something, it's been sunny like this past few days and ya I'll complain about the heat, even though I know other place other countries have it worse than us


to study to learn


oh ya, I also complain, about, taking such a long time to get to school, I always complain the location of my school is so far away from anywhere


I hate I hate it


super good, I think it's good and bad it's super good and bad and not so good


it's good because, I get to learn, stuff that I'm interested about, German


and like electronics and, doing laboratory stuff, and (ppb) not so good because, I still have to learn like physics which I not don't really (ppb) like I not very good at it


what did you collect as a hobby when you were growing up


yes, ya I see how how how do they even come about


plants, it it moves right it's alive


I thought it moves, okay


oh same mine is, mine was, Yu-Gi-Oh card, but my brother was into them, and also stickers, I was into stickers, I had like whole album, two three sets of albums filled up of stickers


don't know I can't really I go to like Bedok, provision shops and just like choose, what three for ten dollars or something and then like ma I will ask my mum I want to buy this, and sometimes she will say no sometimes she will let me


ya I will have think through for damn long, think what stickers I want and then after that stick on my sticker album I think that's such a waste of money oh-my-god


collect stamps, that's stupid, ya it spoils it's like


cheat it's a cheat reward, nice, oh ya I used to collect


it just magazines, Disney princess from popular to, they was stupid, probably recycle


I think


it would be, who sell, ya it's a, rice with egg, in recess I used to buy that, will tell the uncle


rice in egg, ya, eh in primary school, and sometimes I will say, have potato add potato, so have egg potato rice


that was my favorite food I also like Laksa also or Wanton-Mee, eighty cents, next, okay maybe the


cuttlefish, ya the fish fish snack, I don't know it's this, thin thin strip of, fish meh ya


neither do I


condos, okay, I maybe I have I forgot


I don't remember, oh okay, oh the snack <unk> also on the what


snack don't know some packet they tidbits, the unhealthy stuff, oh that one also it melts in your mouth right


oh I used to eat seaweed also, ya I always buy seaweed, one dollar, oh ya the seaweed packaging you tear then


strips of seaweed, oh the orange colour


chicken oh ya ya it is delicious, it is delicious, I like the mussels also, oh man


mussels have, our friend also bought it, no the other one my Malay friend


cause it's orange, seriously


the school, I used to order

red tea was nice, another snack or dish is the beancurd, I love it, I love it, I still like it I still love it


okay, oh I used to buy like


omelette, mushroom omelette from the western stall in secondary school, then there will be mushroom omelette and rice


Western food oh they also have Japanese food, Udon


that's strange, the best place to chillax in Singapore is


ya, same, shopping mall is also a good place to chillax


shopping malls, with the library, oh uh maybe Kopitiam also is a good place to chillax


ya it can be noisy too but is, or maybe you can go to like a park, East-Coast-Park, with a book or you listen to podcast while looking at the sea


and mosquitos


another place I think maybe Karaoke, Karaoke room, you can chill there


because if you like to sing is a form of relaxation, at KTV lounges


I guess, the Marina-Bay Floating Platform, cause that was where, most of the National Day Parade, was held there that happened


and, primary five, I was there, to watch the parade, that was that gave me a big impression


another place would be on the playground, in East-Coast-Park, ya my parents will always bring my, siblings and I to the playground at East-Coast-Park ya every Sunday


and we will play there, for sometime


anywhere else, oh Gai-Gai, like go shopping lah


shopping Gai-Gai I think is like shopping, okay, ya I used to go shopping with my mum actually I mean I still do


right, how well do you know your neighbors next door, I don't


before I moved house I was, pretty close to my neighbours, on the same floor as me, and there's a couple, Chinese couple like two doors away, they will always invite


my family to their house during like Chinese New Year time, and also they are very nice people, they are they they are I think they are about like sixty years old now and their children have all grown up


finish schooling finish university, I think one of their daughter is a, is a, stewardess, air stewardess, in Singapore Airlines, then she will also sometimes


I would see her , outside the house wearing the, Singapore Airlines, I think is quite cool, oh no I don't really know them that well


ya I moved a few times, previously, second time I moved house, I was very close to my other neighbour also, they will also always invite me to their house, and they will always like, give us food


they will cook dinner then they will like give extra portions, like leftover food to us, they always say oh no need no need, ya but they will still give us, and then if they come back from vacation they will also give us like souvenirs from


that country, ya but right now uh my current neighbours I am not very close to them, ya and


be, brace yourself for the heat, and also, the Singaporean accent must know their slang


ya think those two mainly, the the heat and the, Singaporeaness


ya I know so they should know they should be aware of all those unsaid rules like, like on the train you shouldn't sit on the reserve seat unless like you are, you really need it, make sure to give up and also like


don't, ya don't litter don't, keep the place clean should keep the place clean, that would be an advice


and I think you don't really need the card, in Singapore you should get a EZ-link card, a car, ya, but you will need, EZ-link card that's important


and money, prepare your cash, take out all your savings, bring it out , ya you you will spend a lot of money in Singapore


oh another thing is, I would tell them that it won't be easy, it's not gonna be easy to live in Singapore


that's true


so you you should, know how to cook, or you don't need to actually you don't really need to you can just go to a hawker centre , ya choose to live in a place where


where your house is located near a food centre, or shopping mall, and the MRT station yes that's very important yes yes, that's uh advice, ya that's why I say prepare your cash everything your money


you gonna need it all of it all your savings will disappear, very soon, describe your Singapore dream, ya what do you think Singapore will be like in twenty sixty five or something


I would think maybe Singapore should have like


hover cars, ya driverless cars, eco-friendly stuff chance


because he have to travel what, more efficient transport system ya, that's my Singapore dream more efficient, more eco friendly stuff


more reuse reduce recycle


I hope Singapore, I I hope that we'll still be proud to be Singaporeans, in twenty sixty five


I will I will teach, Singaporean students to, enjoy learning, and another, character development, value would be, uh respect


respect, I will teach them


time management, okay, what are you most Kia about, afraid about what <unk> what are you most afraid about


really, no I think you said it already just now like, ya you studying focus too much on your studies and then you neglect your family, is that what's your afraid


oh so you are afraid to die, I'm afraid of public speaking


I'm I'm still more afraid of public speaking than death, uh and I'm also afraid of cockroaches


spiders maybe, the big ones, jumping


I I'm also scared of army ants, disgusting


the people you love, oh same


ya I'm also afraid that, something might happen to my family suddenly too, without, warning, that's what I'm also scared about, all the people I love


(ppb) when when does the World Cup happen, every four years oh, I don't know I think it's a long time hundred years later maybe


where should visitors go in Singapore to get a real sense of the country, (hmm) ah ya they should go to the heartlands like, Sengkang heartland-mall heartland, ya I think


(mmhmm), that Yishun Tampines Sengkang I think they, you they should visit there to get real sense of the country cause, you can hear like the, Singaporean accent everywhere in that area


kopitiam, go Lau-Pa-Sat, okay, you you can get the real sense of the people and the


food ya the food, the people, and oh the trains yes they should visit the public transport, the train so they can experience, what we are like, you can you can if you want if you want more challenge you can go during the peak hours like the morning rush hour or the evening rush hour


you can see how we are like, during that that time whether we are, rude, push each other whether inconsiderate, or whether they are good people who give up their seats


yes schools too


uh also maybe, if you dare to or if you can, maybe you can do a home stay, stay in someone's house


stay in a typical Singaporean house


I like the word, I like actually I don't really like but I think okay I find it okay is, lah leh, and also like


Kiasu


so like, Kiasu, I don't how it, I don't know how it come come about probably like some, Hokkien Cantonese word maybe, dialect I have no idea


and like got meh, ya that's a, okay


think I kind of like the word got meh but feel it's very wrong, grammatically wrong incorrect, so I try not to use it


have meh, also, no lah ya no lah also, where do you think it came from, no lah


I have no idea


maybe it's a Chinese word, or maybe it's a dialect, like Hokkien or, Teochew or something Hakka


what do you always, splurge on, or stinge on, I always, I always splurge on, food I guess


I used to splurge on like, materials, like a materialistic things like clothes, but now I think I, I splurge on food, like salads


and all the healthy stuff organic, organic produce, like what do you splurge on what do you


what do you spend your money on


I would spend money on like, healthy ones, organic


because I think it's not, not worth I don't like them, I've lost, my taste for that, ya


I don't really like them anymore, that's why all the things that I said earlier on all I used to eat now I don't


I would splurge on water , fizzy water, Icelandic water, naked water


ya used to but now I'm less but I still do sometimes, I will go to Uniqlo and see what item are on sales and I will go and buy them


and sometimes I will also, splurge on like, Victoria Secret stuff, which I think is stupid , Victoria Secret perfume, ya it is


perfume mist , mist or like, panty yes, I think is I think is stupid, student


oh ya I also I did spend some money on my makeup too but, I think is reasonable enough


I admire, #Lim Bo Seng#, I remember learning about him in a Chinese textbook, he helped a lot in the Japanese occupation


do you know him, Social Studies


I think he oh he, he was caught, by them but he did not reveal, like all the secret stuff, ya even though they tortured him but he, he refused to give in and tell them


important information, so I think is he's pretty, admirable I think he is, something that we should admire him for


because, he, sacrifice a lot, and, just for to save other people ya


what's the most interesting conversation you've ever had with a taxi driver, I don't really take taxis, anyway, I think the most interesting would be


like they talk about their job, I mean not interesting but, there's once one, one cabby was talking about, his day and his, family and


he's been going on and on about his, basic day


I think I would collect, old coins, or I would collect newspapers


okay, what's the most number of durians you have ever eaten at one go


that's a lot


I think, I don't usually eat durian so the, most number of durians I have ever eaten was, less than one, one piece, ya because I don't I don't like


ya I don't, I don't like eating, ya, ya I have, I don't like the taste, and, I don't also think is not good for me


that's I don't eat it, and, ya I know, lots of people like durians but not me, which is


too bad, sad what a pity, ya my mum my dad like durians, but my sister doesn't like, both of us don't like


to eat durians


ya, that's not crowded, the home is always not crowded unless you invite people over


ya parks are usually not that crowded, unless there is an event going on, oh another place, #Pulau Ubin#


okay, and well but there is not usually crowded I guess, or the forest area #Bukit Timah# yes, is usually not crowded, nature reserves


those are, good places to escape the crowds, opposite of those places would be like shopping malls, like in cities CBD area the central business district


or in, total, total train I mean the, MRT trains eh stations and trains, during peak hours yes those are the, vey crowded places don't go there


next question, what's the most busybody thing you've ever done, ya like, I guess, [orh] I know, I think I when I was much younger I think I went to


like in the bathroom, I went to look under the, stall, which I think that's, so Kaypoh like so busybody like why, I don't know I think I was just ya I was just curious


and I went to look, I don't know for what


where


and also being very extra on the phone like when someone's on the phone I would say stuff, ya, and say hi like that, when someone's on the phone like hello, hello so and so don't know whose mother or something


did that and that's, extra okay


I think I mentioned it before, when you finish, school did well in school, get your first class honours highest distinction, degree Bachelor degree or if PHD


get hired for the job that you want you like, you enjoy, when you have your partner


and when you have a family, and when you get to, have a house buy a house, maybe if you like to, I would define success as


being able to travel, to different countries, and do the things that you like, that you love doing, that would be success


what about you


happiness, do the things you love


that's not really success


okay, which school do you want to enroll your child in, if you have a child


ya primary school, ya I would, I would ya, choose a school near home like you can like five minute walk or something


convenience, and preferably , mixed school, a international school or, a government school or a


a public school would be good


and as in for exams, I would like push my child to do well in exams because it is important


I will also help them in their studies like teach them, math or science or, ya tuition, and buy them assessment books to do


and CCA I would let, them choose what CCA they would want to go, but I will also, probably, give them like, enrichment classes, or like out of school activities like


either dance, ballet or like, martial art, or even like


as for tuition I would, maybe give them I would like ask them if like they want tuition in, primary three, four or P-five or six, if I can afford it


or ask my child which one you want, sports like, must what's, or dance like ballet, or, musical instrument like piano


one of those choose one , parent teacher Meetings, what's there to say, just hope that my child, is doing well and then the teacher will just, say


you know your child is very participative in class, very good with the grades perfect, saying


ya like oh this one, he needs to work on this subject or, like you know in class he's like very naughty or something, if he does that


punish him or her, of course


okay, exams, what, a difficult, university course


I think medicine yes, that's true, easiest, most interesting


depends on the person, what define as interesting someone might think engineering is interesting while another person might find it's not interesting, I think engineering is interesting


I think geography is also interesting


and CCA, ya I'm in, I'm learning the drums right now, and not just any drums, is Chinese drum, yes and I'm, been practicing and I've having scars on my hands from holding the drumstick


not really is like once a week, for three hours so so, ya and and and it's fun I like to play


I think is pretty enjoyable and, is not like, it doesn't really like have a negative effect on me, maybe only, less sleep, on that night, but I think is worth it, cause I get to do something I enjoy


and you get to like really stress and bang the drum hit the drum again


cause you're in like Boggle right, is that a CCA


yes and what are your worries, are you worried about, what are you worried about


ya which is not not doing well, failing, answering question wrongly studying and then yet still failing that's what I worried about


and internship, industrial attachment I think is usually in third year, of school of University, I hope to, do internship in my third year


this December holidays I I am planning to find a job, for the to earn money but I don't know, if I would get one that is related to my degree, probably not I will just get one just to earn money for the sake of the money


I need the money for travelling, okay


what was the best or most memorable meal you had, I guess is a buffet, the most memorable one was when I was in Belfast, eating free buffet, cause my school paid for it


and we all of us, had to have free buffet at the this Asian, restaurant, is called Cosmo, and ya the food was absolutely


delicious, and I, I ate so much food that evening, there was like, pizza, there were, seafood they even have a live cooking station


and I ordered like prawn, uh scallops, and they also had like lamb or meat, they cook the meat in front of you

or and they also had a popcorn station and a chocolate fountain, with marshmallows


and they also had like a dessert station it was, so good, they had lots of cake, they had, cheesecake oh I love their cheesecake, and black forest cake


ya I I guess so is like I think it's it was pink I think is strawberry cheesecake, they also had lots of, uh black forest cake


a gateau do you know what that is, a gateau, GATEAU, is is taste like cake, but is named differently eh they also had #creme brulee#


ya I don't really like that cause it's sticky, what about you


what uh what new restaurants are you planning to try next, I haven't been, I I really want to try like, Japanese restaurants, I haven't tried a lot of Japanese restaurants yet

if you had, a lot of money or no budget what kind of car would you buy, light dark dark blue cobalt blue


what kind would it be like an SUV, or would it be like a sports car, or would it be like a normal city car, or a seven seater one


oh okay, for me I want if I have no budget I would buy an audi, is it is it German brand I don't know


okay but ya, Volkswagen, folks, ya I would buy a, a Audi


if I have no budget, but if I was on a budget I would probably buy a, Nissan or Toyota, Toyota Corolla


because is cheap, and I think is, suitable for, uh Singapore's roads, I think they are


good for single riders


ya I think is dangerous leh especially on rainy days, ~s you can like, is very easy to have accident


drive safely yes, oh ya for the car if I could have, uh no budget I would also buy a, Lamborghini, and it would be yellow in color


but if is for practical use the Toyota Corolla would be silver in color, holidays where have you traveled to


I've been to Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, uh China Shanghai, Japan


the UK, the London area and, Northern Ireland, the USA, the east coast part like New York, and Florida


I think that's about it, I didn't I've I've never been to Thailand Bangkok I've never been to Vietnam, Myanmar Philippines, Taiwan no


oh yes I missed out one Paris, ya I've been to ya been to France, and Frankfurt


ya, no more, the UK


because I like the people, (mmhmm) I like the, the London accent, and the food yes I love their food


I like the British food, first of all they are much more friendly, ya they like to say


especially in the in Northern island the, they are very very friendly they keep asking like, hello how are you they always say how are you even like cashiers, you have to strike up conversations with them, they will ask you how is your day


ya and, in restaurants they would ask, you like how's the food, they will say, is everything alright, like that, in Singapore no they don't do that


but similar thing is, you don't tip them, ya same thing in Singapore is included in the bill already, which is I think is good thing, tap water is free you can ask for tap water


for drinks, to visit my friends there


I miss them, these days no, last, but I did talk to one of my friends like two weeks ago


she just randomly ask me how am I, a few like less than five, not all of them

so I rather buy wholemeal, is like one pound it's only one pound for eight hundred grams of, which is like two dollars for eight hundred grams


and it's wholemeal healthy one, okay next , latest makeup skincare product


!wah! this is moisturiser, uh face wash, moisturiser, pimple cream, and then eyeshadow eyeliner, concealer


eyeshadow ya, skincare product oh ya I do like body lotion


dolly wink, it's a makeup, brand, is Korean makeup brand I think, and also maybe


Avene, I don't know how to pronounce it I think it's French, is for like moisturiser, and pimple cream, and


lip balm would be Nivea, and for body lotion, would be Crabtree and Evelyn, or or Nivea, yes


I like Crabtree and Evelyn that's my favourite, skincare brand the body shop also, Crabtree and Evelyn, Evelyn the the the, super atas


brand oh my mum always buys those, that's how I know she would always buy then she would give me, my hand cream is Crabtree and Evelyn, the body shop is good too


okay, I have an Adidas backpack, back in secondary school


okay, a gaming computer or cameras speakers headphones


I used to have an Olympus camera, but now I don't use it anymore, I just use my phone camera, ya


and, as for gaming computer my brother has customised gaming computer, ya, think is eraser, he has eraser


ya, and, latest, uh movies, [orh] the most the latest movie I watched was Crazy-Rich-Asians


it was okay, I think is normal is not that great and it is also not that, not great


did you watch the show


uh my picture has that elderly man as well, I guess, and a cap


ya I also there's a, yes, one shark fin


there's, three fishes in the water, beside the man, there's a sign, which points to the left


and beside that sign there's another sign, no, mine doesn't have the, North Shore Golf Club okay so that's the first difference


beside it says, Paul and Joe's Diving School, okay but it's is it like a red board


ya but, mine says Joe's food shack, mine has nine squares


nine right okay, so we, does yours have the word Joe's food shack, okay so, three differences already, ya and the top has a


rectangular thing right, what colour is the house, is it brown, okay


uh the signboard here says, local shellfish, okay


ya, ya, dark red slippers, is he wearing socks


oh mine the guy is wearing red socks, ya he's wearing red socks, ya, ya


ya, ya she's reading a book with a man, okay, ya, ya there's a radio, is the


grandmother's hat, curly, are there like five flowers on her, ya


she's on the ball, mine she's standing up but she's, she's holding the ball, ya and she's wearing a cap, okay okay so mine is like, standing and holding the ball the huge ball but yours is sitting down


okay, mine both are red seats


and is the left one on the ground, okay, there's no sign


for this picture, okay


ya, one of it is open, okay mine one of it is open, ya, so that's another difference, ya it says push


okay mine has a push sign, and does it have a poster, which says wine list, oh mine says wine list rose and peach


so that's another difference, is there any like grey, thingy okay, is the walls inside like green


ah there's a wine bottle and two wine glasses filled with wine, then is the guy wearing sunglasses, wearing green, and blue shoes, he has one sock


sock on his right leg, okay, is her hair blonde


okay


I want food, mostly, I think, or if there is like any sales, like clothes, at H and M and stuffs I would queue for it


if it's worth it, especially if the food is very like well known, then I'll definitely queue for it


I've ever queued for like an hour or something for, for some sale thing, but I was with my parents and they wanted to buy something, at Courts, ya


that too but I don't really go to like theme parks so, what's your usual coffeeshop order, for Kopi or Teh


do you drink like Kopi, for me I always, Teh Peng


Teh Peng, ya iced milk tea


I think so, probably, I don't know how to answer that question, I would have said like


what do you mean hub, I don't know, like I would have just said like, green hub, environmental friendly, I don't know they I mean Singapore plant a lot of trees, there's a lot of trees everywhere


something like that, ya something like that, the teacher who made the biggest difference in your life is


she made you shy, oh-my-god


because primary school, okay, uh for me, I don't really have a teacher, which makes like one teacher but like


like most of my teachers, in secondary school, and probably JC, they helped me when, I'm not very good at, you know my studies, ya


ya and they continued, encouraging me, although I've been like failing and stuff and, in the end for like final exams I did, better than expected I guess


why, I don't think I've had a teacher who made me cry, before


but, oh ya there's this, physics teacher, in JC, he keeps calling me to answer questions in class I think that, I mean I think he made a difference in my life a bit


because, if he didn't ask me questions, I don't know I might not understand how to, do physics you know, ya, and because he keeps calling me


it makes me, study more for it, to be prepared in class, if he ask me questions


my best subject, I don't really have a best subject, but like, I think I'm like average in everything, but I definitely have a worst subject


which is, English, ya like, during lessons and class test and all those I did okay but, I don't know, why during like O-levels and A-levels my English and GP was like the worst


compared to like my maths and, sciences, everything else, the rest were like all average like similar grades so, I don't have a best subject, what's yours


okay, okay


I see, do you speak a lot of Chinese at home


I'm not very good in Malay as well, like I don't speak Malay much at home, except to my dad, cause he can't really speak English, so that's why I speak to him in Malay


and he would always ask me to translate stuffs to English and I can't, translate it without a translator


oh I liked PE, we get to like play the different sports and, exercise, kind of, ya it made me feel healthy, in a way, ya, like it's like forcing us to like work out


ya, I have no idea I don't think so, I feel like subject is like, you learn something from it


I love science, do you love science, as in like I love, learning, like science related stuffs, but, for the sake of I I mean like for like general knowledge


and stuffs, I don't like it to be like tested, ya ya, yes, ya actually Geography is also very interesting, if you learn it for general knowledge to know like


the world and how, how things are made and stuffs but, if you have to study it for like essays and everything it just makes, it a, dread, to study you know


ya, I have mixed feelings


with math, because I was like, very good at it, in primary school, but once all of the, calculus things come comes in


I was really bad in a math, in secondary school I have no idea why, like failing, I didn't have tuition but, like my A-math teacher was like very encouraging and


I did a lot of work, for A-math, for O-levels, and somehow, I did better in A-math then English, which I was better in at the start


which is like what, is happening, it was difficult


I had a very, encouraging JC teacher, give us extra, time to like meet her and like go through some questions and our doubts


ya I think she made a difference, for my math grade, I have been doing very badly in JC also, but A-levels


was okay I guess, it was the worst, as in


it was a good experience, because I get to learn a lot of things from project work, it was a bad experience
