so if we turn it the other way, right if we turn it the other way we won't face this issue, oh wait we will, the light will still come in from the side, will it, will it


but will it be as bad, what get a curtain but the curtain like you see my curtain, ya that's why


no I mean for watching show not to study


good job I like yours your, different considerations for the different


lunch will be steamboat, oh I think what, why did you buy , oh I saw one, no no no it won't be Mala please since when there's a Mala in my house


no no no oh oh oh I know I know, it's Hai-Di-Lao one but I cannot remember what, it's not Mala, it's not tomato


which means someone have eaten it already what, what chips uh


so maybe he ate it at night instead of like the morning, when you sleep


so do you think he ate it in the morning, but who eat chips in the morning


it's called high utility


ya but, later there's the cheesecake the one that we made last week, ya ya, no lah is like one small container you know the one that usually we put like this, bread looking shape the with the red cover that kind


of container the small little one, no ah cause we cut it into like very small pieces so like it's, around, one quarter of the iPhone size so like this size only, eh it's very nice it's like bite size so like I take what okay


yesterday I ate two lah so, probably there's like four or five left, you guess


wrong it's in the freezer cause it's it it's not a cheese cake it's called cheese cake ice cream, yes yes ice cream cheese cake so like, it fits the description of a ice cream cheese cake because


you know it's it melts when you bring it out of the of the freezer, but then it's still good, you know it's approved by my sister she say she eat it everyday, but then like cause the, the one that we made is freaking huge


and I think they cut it into very small pieces so like, there's a lot of pieces to eat


are you serious (ppb) that's why you know your slice is like maybe like three times the size of my one slice, ya that's why that's why you have to eat it slowly that's why I took like one slice I slowly bite then after that after awhile right then I eat again


oh okay lah, it's okay, we can, ya ya ya just return me another day <unk> I told you already you need to fill it with food then you can return it me


it's okay it's okay, if she ask then I say is my room, ya but Aiya it's okay one lah we have so many in hall, it doesn't matter, ya so , later on (ppb)


we shall have, steamboat, oh got the what's that called the, the the the the the what do you call that, Yong-Tau-Foo , no lah we bought it from the market this morning


I think they bought, got the, [orh] don't need don't need


don't need there's enough fruits at home already, I don't think we need lah, ya is like they are just now they are already preparing you know like preparing to, have a feast, !wow!


I think that uh I told them to eat first but, ya it will be like half an hour plus


it will be so long oh-my-god, oh I had pizza yesterday oh but it's the, it's the what's that called the the Pizza Hut one


it's a Canadian but then, is the what's that called is the one is the personal pan one is quite small (ppb)


actually I, right, ya eh I think I ate the cheesy seven before like long long time you know they always come up like in


ya ya ya I ate it once but then like, okay lah the the the crust right is quite nice cause like, they wrap the cheese inside the crust so like


is not meh I think it is eh, I think I think have, the I remember the cheesy seven is quite cheesy okay okay okay next time we go


ya okay next time we can go okay so this are two places that we need to go, what else we need to do, what else ah yesterday you said like a lot of stuffs, like craving a lot of stuff


[orh] ya !wah! it's, ya !wow!, very long never eat that already maybe we should go back soon


ya where else ah (hmm), so maybe oh recess week is coming let's go soon


why we can have one day where we go, ya but let's see ah


ya that's why, we can go somewhere outdoor let me think where can we go what where


oh there that that shade


KSL no wrong [orh] oh I know already I know already it's the Aeon yes


ya as in there's no , Kallang


ya okay next time or maybe during recess


ya so (hmm) interesting interesting so like, we can go there or we can go explore other places such, as where can we explore, can we explore things in the west what do we have in the west


eh, the east have Wild-Wild-Wet, you forgot about that eh but but did we


but, but, but did we go to the Jurong East one before


ya okay let's go, but, let's see how, (hmm) yes then (hmm) what else next, week next week what do we have


ya when when do you all want to do ah, ya but we can't finish ah unless you all want to start earlier, are we starting earlier for the project


okay what you are what you have on what you have on monday nothing right, then you all can start on it maybe (ppb)


ya cause I only have lab, then after, ya, ya so after lab I have nothing then after that I have lesson at like three thirty so from like after lab, after lunch then I have nothing so I can, continue whatever you all left off so


I think we can start tomorrow ah since tomorrow both uh like since Tuesday both of you, have lesson so like (ppb), maybe you should ask, like whether he can make it, no ask him whether you all can do tomorrow


then you all just start doing tomorrow, then I will join you after my lab, sounds good right, ya then if I can join then we can start earlier ah let's target right, to finish


let's target to finish it by this week so that we can prep our quiz for next week like the following week


ya ya, I think it will be those like what happen if you increase concentration of, A then if you reduce concentration of B like how do you optimise the thing I think it will be a lot of that leh if that's the calculation lah


ya but if you study his notes basically he say everything like is that that notes is like the, no it's not the bible is just the, the summary of everything right right as in like


[orh] ya ya ya as in like I think more emphasis you should put on the CRA the chemical reaction engineering part, no but there's also like the unit ops part mah, right, that part we also need to do then we need to as in I think


I think the you you know the unit ops part right it will be more distillation cause I download the second part of the, the the notes right, then it will be like, is more on like distillation column


ya but eh do you do you know who's the the other prof like he got teach you before, do you know


oh you also don't know who is he ah, is like I never see him before so interesting so we get a new prof again


[orh] okay like is not a new topic that he will be teaching lah, oh I'm sure


ya okay lah but let's see how ya but it will be very interesting, oh anyway my !wow! my engineer in society !wah! (ppb), that is something that I need to do we need to discuss with my group member like


how to do our presentation, cause like we still don't really know what is our structure cause it's a very open topic it's it's like right


it's like, how is happiness equals to money but actually cause like, it's actually quite focused as they talk about, whether is they talk about like Singapore context so we can straight away talk about Singapore context already, ya so !aiya! ya but we see how oh then you know like there's this cause we wanted to give like coins mah like the gold chocolate coins


(ppb) but then like, like last week right, one of the group's topic was like government handouts, so they they give sweets already, like, this is a handout then they give everyone sweet , (ppb) okay lah but I think quite interesting eh like cause like the prof make until like very engaging


ya it's quite troublesome uh but okay lah as in like, I also know like three out of four of my group member although I never work with them personally before but, I think should be okay, just I think I think it's more of getting the structure done cause like now we still don't know really like


what structure we need leh so it's quite difficult, for


ya that is , ya, ya but then like cause we want to make it very engaging like we cause we want the presentation to be like different


so we need to think of ways to make it like you know like more fun like how do I how do I engage people, like you know at first cause like you know we wanted to do like the Ted talk that kind


ya ya that is one way lah, so like we're still looking at but we need to find a time to really discuss how we can, we can like really do the project itself lah but I think we can have more time during


recess week to do lah so I guess it's fine, ya so likes !aiya! but we see how


I watch movies, what is the most, what is the most recent movie that I watch let me think, what was the most recent movie when when was the what was the most recent one that we watched was it at


Shaw was it at Shaw, oh ya ya ya that was the most recent movie I think that was a pretty good movie


he is handsome but, I wouldn't disagree, oh oh oh but you know you know my mum got, like two two tickets like okay so like basically right


then everyone like can get stuff, so she won two ticket, two tickets with like, combo to shaw, any movie lah, at first she ask whether I want then I'm like uh no I actually we


if we watch we also watch during like weekday also cheaper to watch student, right as in like is true mah, ya but, I think then I was like !aiya! it's okay lah you can just go watch


then like they also thinking what to watch so they also don't know but


so, what, are you reading do you read oh when was the last time, did you did you read finish the the the book that you bought the other time, like you remember last time, we bought like a book from


was it Plaza Sing, the book shop you remember this mall, you remember


oh I remember you I remember what was the last book you read, Murder of the Oriental Express


oh no I don't really like to read, I believe that that I'm more of a visual person, seeing words make me feel very sleepy and tiring so I prefer to watch movies, TV shows and anything but reading


so like you know reading is not my cup


oh-my-god this is why cause you can visualise what you read, if I read right I don't really visualise, what I see like, I cannot leh it's like it's very hard to, for me to picture myself


so you see at the, as a first person point of view instead of a third person point of view, ya I agree


I I I've tried but then


but but but but, fiction or but is storybook also lah like, [orh] no as in like I I can read like those kind like you know those uh


motivational books like, rich dad poor son or, okay lah but I never I never finish that book


I think that was the last book I read but


okay so next time we can go to the library, then you can see the book then we borrow in the e-library, sounds like a plan, ya we should


let's see, but okay lah now we don't really have the time, to really think about reading a book because I got like one and uh one hundred and one


materials to read, other than books, so eh anyways later please help me read through my essay, I think I have like maybe like fifteen reviews, like literature reviews okay not literature review I got like fifteen references


so like I don't really know leh but


okay no cause like okay so like let's say right cause my okay I tell you more about my project okay, okay so is basically okay you know the topic okay, so in my first paragraph, in my first paragraph I'm talking about like the


DNA, the dna bases, so like I talk about uh, how what is the dna then what makes up a dna then uh, if there are changes in dna right like damages then what will happen to our body then we will be more prone to disease and stuff like this


so in my second paragraph, then I talk about how like my, my dn how how, current methods like analytical methods right, are used to detect this dna changes, so like current like when I say like


analytical methods right, then there will be like you know electrophoresis then got all the spectro, spectro photography all this, so like when I take one right like I said electrophoresis I need to find a source to back up what so that that's one source already then when I say spectrography then


another source then when I say like chromotherapy then I need to give another source already so that's like three, reference already mah, so, there are like three different reference then after that, my next line I think it will be more of a literature review so based on the three different reference right


I will say like oh why are this source not good, so like even though like this methods are very reliable and like sensitive and accurate, but then they're very expensive due to the cost of the equipment or due to like time consuming procedures so is that like lit review


ya cause like I didn't say why is it better but I say like, [orh] uh why is it not as good then, like what are the, then they develop the use of like electrochemical sensor, so electro can chemical sensor then


I stalk about why it's better lah so I find like references and like stuff like this, then after that, after finding the reference right I'll, I give like what what do what do I give, [orh] I I say about like the like, like people


you instead of just using the electrode like the electrochemical itself right, they will add on other a variety of materials they can add anything to the to the into the electrode, so I talk about like, the those carbonano tubes multi wall then I say why is it good so I'll cite the reference


but then, after I cite right I also say like oh is maybe is not good because like uh it would the, the the range of detect detection is very low, that's why like other stuff need to be added, so other stuff like the nano particles need to be added


so like I'll I'll also quote lah then but then I say like oh even though nano particles are being used right, they also are lacking without a substrate which is the carbonano tubes so therefore I need to come up, with like another


with another source like to uh that's why I need to come up with this experiment lah to test whether, I can incorporate both of them together, so that will be my scope of my project


[orh] okay, okay so cause my tutor also quite like free with what we, can say so she don't have really have restriction, so that's why I try to finish everything, by, today


and like probably I'll get someone to vet through, and to think about it


yes I think you should because, you know they say, you know what my tutor always say people who speaks a lot, tend to be worse off at writing essays


ya, I guess so this shows that I'm very, engaging thank you thank you (ppb)


yes we don't have to stop this recording just to reduce the temperature that's just to increase the temperature, we can just use hand signals


oh but then you see, you're fourth year student so I guess you get more priority maybe for the next semester you can try


oh I'm not very, I'm not really a language person, cause uh like you know I can't grasp language as, concepts I'm more of a analytical person


for me maybe if I want to learn a language let me think, what language should I, (hmm) I think maybe like you know Spanish or French


why is that so , oh ya


why is Spanish is eh what is the most commonly used language, the world other, I know is Chinese, English then something like in European countries right English is not like their like main one eh, I think is


is it is it is it Spanish, ya that's why see, this is why English is not very very very important or maybe I should learn Russian


they will be like actually Russian is quite a crude language if you they are like always sound like they are scolding people, but it's quite interesting, ya but anyways, (hmm) if you maybe I can learn a dialect


like is like I understand some dialects but I don't really know how to speak them, so, I guess like (hmm) yeah I said it will be a good consideration, ya, so if you got a car


just curious what car will it be, for me


yes I agree, I think for my first car right, it'll be a very economical car maybe , a car that can only fit two person, like those you know those small little car


why is that so, oh probably, some, some of the cars the fuel consumption is a lot lower than like others


but you see like if most of the time right you're not , fitting your car at max capacity right you'll be wasting more fuels right, that's why you need to consider this fact, and since I don't usually have to, pick up and send so many people


I think getting the one with the minimized cost is the best, but but but


that's why I say that's for my first car the first car have to be economical so, the main use of the car is to drive to work and back from home


ya that's a possibility but you know I just feel like having a two seater car because it's more cool (ppb) okay


okay point taken, so, I will consider maybe a, motorbike just kidding, yes I know


when during the lesson


oh !wah! I only know they need to go on those like you know the road right they will have one portion where there's this, region where it's all wet, like they have to go through this wet region but I don't really know


go lor it's in the circuit it's like, ya that is true oh but, your circuit test do you need to go up the ramp one like from reverse parking then you need to go up


so there's this pole in front right, of the car


ya ya ya cause like the other time I saw like when I was driving right I saw some of them doing that


ya ya ya for auto car it won't go back, just for manual ya actually going up the ramp is the most stressful thing for me, ya ya ya cause you is quite scary cause like you know if you don't control it well right it will just go backwards, but okay lah I never go backwards


[orh] ya cause all the motor bikes you learn is all manual bike


I don't think you look good I don't I think you can buy auto bike but then all the


oh but it should be okay what it just feel is like a handbrake I think the biting point is at the handbrake, !aiya! I think he just not used to it lah, but they have to wear like full full body like protection right


oh okay okay, do you have to wear like their own, like their own what's that called the own


driving suit, or like, ah ya ya ya ya, oh so they only need to wear that vest


ya that is true but is it expensive to learn that in school, ya ya ya ya that I'm just curious !huh! like


ya ya ya go ask him, but I think like it doesn't, all the all the driving school they they have their own like motorbike, class right


oh ya that's true lah then it will be quite troublesome


oh ya that's why he's learning, but why your brother want to learn, motorbike, oh so it's like that will be his main


main mode of transport already


ya you can why why not you can, oh next year


no, why I remember celebrating my twenty first when I was in NS, or maybe after


yes , yes that is , oh I see


okay don't reveal my age opps, yes I know


so what is she she


one year or so she had like, is like quite late though is like thirty plus, then you get your first child no meh


ya probably


they bring joy they bring love they bring fun too, oh I think they are fun to have they are fun to play with


okay but anyways did you see this video right I saw it this morning where they like, have this guide dog like those visually, impaired person, they have this guide dog that bring them around, but you do you know that visually impaired people right


they still can see some parts one like they are not totally blind, ya so it it's quite interesting leh it's like


they either right I didn't know eh they either use the stick, or like they bring a dog around, like they they don't use both, do you know that


ya ya that's why I didn't know what then I thought like you know the more the better, like one one side you hold your dog then the other side you navigate your way, make sense right


then have you ever wondered, how does the dog bring you to places, right


ya ya ya that's why that's why but then like, is like if you trust the dog, the dog will just bring you wherever what, or are you like walking the dog or the dog walking you


interesting ya I was wondering that this morning, I wonder why, that's why, then like ya lor, then (ppb), like


ya lor animals how is your the how is your pet fish doing


ya, I agree I agree oh eh and, do you do you think that, just random do you think that you will get a recycle straw, like those you know those recycle straw


ya ya ya ya those those those like you can reuse and reuse lah just wash it


no I'm not referring to those but do you know the the those hype, ah ya ya it's reusable but then it's not very portable I mean those reuse you know there's this kind of straw right that you can just


ya so it's like more more more more more interesting than and like more portable than like the convention type of straw


ya, okay okay for me like usually I don't usually get drinks outside lah but I think having a straw is


very, cool idea but, as for me I'm a very lazy person I don't think I will bring that straw around so I'll still go for those conventional type, but I think that using more like you know <unk> I still can help the Earth in other ways


I can recycle more often I can reduce the number of straws instead of using straws, I can use other things I can just drink straight from the cup why do I need straw, like but then what my mum said, makes a sense also because she say, like like son know some drinks right like let's say you make you buy uh


mocha frappe chino, how are you going to drink the ice, like the the blend then I'm ya hor cause this morning I was drinking it then I, then she went to buy a packet of straw, (ppb) then those not recyclable one, then she say [orh] this straw is like (ppb) this whole bag right that bag I think it's like only one dollar (ppb) and you


but we, by reducing the amount you're already saving the earth right, (ppb) ya that's why that's why that's why we are like, you you spend so much effort reducing and recycling all the stuff then end up you went to buy this packet of straw


other side then like what


ya, oh I saw that news it's the one they take from the, the the food court right


ya that's true cause it's like you cannot anyhow take other people stuff also as in like, even though you are not you buying from that stall you should not just take from their stall lah you, you know actually you can just ask from the stall one, like you can just ask from like KFC to for their straw


oh really ah have you tried before


ya ya ya I remember eating them (ppb), the those fried chicken !wah! they are like juicy and tender, and, ya then they are quite nice but actually the, the one near the west like Arnold's is quite good also


I like I like that eh but then it's quite expensive but for the price I think it's worth the portion but you can't finish them, it's worth it what you imagine


okay lah that one you can't compare what but like in even in Singapore right you can eat those Korean chicken right but then they're I think they are not as good also leh like you imagine those


ya that's why like, all is like so is so so only but like, the other time I ate the what what's that called the four Four-Fingers is it, yes oh-my-god I cannot take it eh it's like


it's like one of the few times I cannot finish the chicken because, it's like I never eat the skin like, ya but then it's very salty then it's like


ya I also I only ate it once and never again, oh then like, it's not very nice so I'm still in search, more chicken


ya ya you don't have to shout, it's quite loud, ya then like oh oh do you watch the Food King on the


the the the the what's that call, the moon cake episode, aye you watch ah you never watch, oh we watch together, oh uh uh I was asking you then eh so this week one you never watch, so what was this week one I thought I watch it alone eh


then what was the one what was the one that I watch it alone I cannot remember, oh ya ya ya I remember telling you that I tried that before , oh ya ya ya anyway you you all want mooncake or not


no no no as in if you want my dad can go buy like Malaysia buy but if not like, cause he as in like this year just now he was asking whether we want but like, now also like no feels for moon cake already leh


ya if you want we can, oh ya, if you want can just, we can see how lor cause like if not we will just


we we won't buy already as in, she like only she likes snow snow skin, taste bud the same is like equally weird okay lah as in I'm okay with snow skin but then is just that like, I don't think that it should be worth that much


ya that's why


then did you try it


ya yam ya I know what's yam, but but why is yam this small, yam should be this size, okay so what Shin-Yee do with the yam Shin-Yee


oh I see, so, okay lah as in, that's during your break, oh I see I see like (ppb)


where do we continue, okay let's, no no no I think I can


yes I'm studying in a university now


I'm studying at NtU, uh currently I'm pursuing a degree in chemical and bio molecular engineering


oh so you are taking double degree, I'm in my year four and, this, this is my last


year, in NtU, wow that will be quite long


oh I had my internship at a specialty chemicals company, what about you, oh so what did you learn there


for me I was attached as a, safety intern, so basically, I do safety related stuff including process safety


safety, let's talk about, holidays so where have you been to


oh really I went Korea too Korea is probably, one of my most favorite country to go because (ppb), the food is really amazing and, I don't know the culture, it's good


I went for one and a half months for my summer exchange, so I clear two modules while I was there, it's, it's about sustainability and


environment related modules, so actually, I got to meet, Korean students to do, to work on some of the projects, they were really nice


but what I miss most about Korea is the food I love spicy food, I will be consider I'm considering to go back but probably not in the near future but maybe in a few more years time


my favourite colour is blue because I think blue is a very soothing colour like it calms my mind and sky blue especially, how about you


oh so like vegetables green, oh I see


I like blue because, it calms my mind and sky blue is like a very nice colour, well I guess


I like all shades of blue lah but, but sky blue is the best shade of blue that I like (ppb), my favourite food would be pizza because I really love cheese


mozzarella cheese especially because of the stretchiness of the cheese, how about you what cheese do you like, oh so you like the same food as me


but what's your favourite food though, what kind of fish


oh steak I love steak also, medium rare is my favourite, but I don't have much money so I usually have my steak at cheap places


like maybe Hot Tomato, but sometimes when there are promotions with fifty percent off I would, try, steak at, some hotels, buffet wise I'll I like it when there are sashimis available


but usually I don't go for buffet because (ppb), because I don't like the feeling of having to stuff yourself until you're so full, and just because you feel like you feel the need of having, to maximize your


money (ppb) ya


ya I agree, sometimes there are some buffet that are really, interesting like they have a, wide range of selections or specials, like at certain time, they will have, lobster served with cheese with limited


quantities, oh right Kuishin-Bo , and I believe, oh I can't remember, but


I remember that, one special thing about Kuishin-Bo is that there's this sound like they will go ding ding ding, then, that's you when you know that there will be a special coming out


well actually I stay in the west, I believe that is the case there is nothing much, I mean when you talk about famous food, is usually in the North, south east but never the west


well sure but I'm still I still prefer home cooked food, because, what other food is better than food made with love from your family members


well I like the idea of being able to cook but honestly I am not much of a cooker I'm not much of a , not much of a chef, I'm more of a eater and I love to eat and eat and eat


well sure I swim a few times a week, whenever possible and I also picked up squash recently, I find that squash is a really interesting sport because initially when I started picking it up


I thought it will be like badminton but then, differs in a lot of ways


I agree, and I like squash when especially when you play together because, it is boring when you play alone


training on your own is one thing but I mean, purely when you're playing, I would prefer to play it, with another person instead of, on my own


I agree but my favorite sport would still be swimming, because (ppb), when I'm under water even though I feel like I couldn't breathe but I really enjoy the moment, where I feel like I could keep swimming forever you know like the Nemo


yes, that's my favourite line I keep thinking that in my head whenever I'm swimming I will like just keep swimming just keep swimming and I'm like a fish, and so I can like swim for like thirty over laps at a go


oh I see so it means that you are very bad at coordinating your hands and legs, but for me I don't really like running because I see no point in that and I, like to for me there is no goal in running, and it just makes me so breathless that I feel like I'm dying all the time so I cannot stand running


unless it's playing for a sport like squash, and I when I run for the ball so it's different, to be honest I used to run very very fast especially during my primary school and secondary school times


you know for the Napfa, there's this uh, what do you call that hundred meter shutter run, oh ten meter oh, really I remember it being a hundred meters


ya, yes, okay but whatever but anyway my fastest was, record was below


eleven seconds which I believe, was quite fast for a girl at, that, age, so I used to run pretty fast but, ever since JC, I think I started to hate running so eventually I just kind of gave up


I think I run slower is not because of my fitness but rather


I, don't see the point in running, as just running purely running so, I wouldn't want to just run for the sake of running even though it is a form of sport but, since I don't really enjoy running so


nope that's not a sport that I will go for I would rather go for any other sport, like, playing netball volleyball, water sports anything else


oh sure but I don't have any star in kayaking


oh really then, sure next time we can go together and we can, probably teach me how to kayak, but actually I had my kayaking experience when I went to Krabi with my friends


we actually kayak for a total of like two three hours straight, and it was (ppb) so, tiring, I mean the next day my whole body just (ppb), no but because I was paired with


like a instructor he was behind me but half the time he, more than half the time he just, he was just leaning back and relaxing and letting me kayak on my own, because he thinks that I'm doing a great job


but really Krabi is a really great place to go, once, oh really, what have you, what did you do there


oh really I have the same experience as well, I guess most people go to Krabi, and experience similar stuff because, what they have mainly are, island hopping, and, ya pretty much island hopping water sport


kayak, snorkeling I did that as well, oh but I joined the sunset tour, which happens at night so actually, when you get in you could see the planktons that are glowing and it was quite cool although I didn't get in myself but


because it was at the end of the tour and, me and my friends were rather tired and we thought it was the end so we were rather cool down already so, when the tour guide told us that oh we can actually go down to the water again, like


most people on the boat didn't actually go down, and what the tour guide did was actually they, scoop up a pail, and they touch the water, and the planktons will actually glow so we actually, got to see that even on the on board of the boat


of course, how often do you get to see planktons glowing I mean


so tell me more about other countries that you have been oh I heard you've been to Taiwan just now right, so Taiwan what's so nice about Taiwan why did you go to Taiwan for


wow okay Taiwan, actually I would really love to go Taiwan because I've never ever been there before, and, in the past I used to watch Taiwan dramas so it's kind of like a place that I want to go and like, with, internet and stuff you see all the


night market, all the good food, I mean no matter how overrated I would always think it is worth, travelling to countries that you've never been to, so that's the reason why I would really love to go to Taiwan someday


oh sure maybe but if you're going then maybe you could ask me along since I really want to go (ppb)


I'm thinking of going there with my other friends as well although I haven't really talk to them about it, so I guess we can see how it goes, but honestly what I'm thinking about right now is, my graduation trip


oh what did she ask about it, oh really you mean like, with our whole, group


but I think if, they are, interested in going right, you should tell them about the promo tickets, that are currently on, especially the Quatar Airline because the sales ends, two days later, and for Singapore Airline it will end like


at the end of this month, so it will be more worth it if they can get the tickets now, if they are confirm going


I don't know you see I ask our other friends about it and, they don't want to confirm yet because it's still too early, to plan like one year in advance but, the air tickets are really cheap now so I really want to get it as soon as possible


so I probably wait for one more friend to confirm and get back to me if she wants to book it first, and if she wants then probably just the few of us book it first while the rest, get their own tickets, on their own at another time (ppb)


uh no because, that friend of mine actually always take, take quite some time to reply to messages, like she can take a few days so maybe I should, send the message now and tell her that , maybe she can tell me if she wants, to buy the tickets soon


ya the the main thing is I'm not sure when will the promotion, come out again for air air ticket I mean, there will always be promotion but you never know whether it will be cheaper or more expensive, or whether it applies to the few countries that you want to go so


it's better to get it as soon as possible, and set the date aside


but, one thing about going overseas I'm really excited, I really hope I get the chance to drive, although, most countries, drive on the left hand side instead of right hand side like Singapore


UK London is also on the right hand side but probably we don't need to drive much around there


so I guess, well I mean because I just got my driving license like, one two weeks ago, so I'm really really excited to be able to drive around, especially since my family don't own a car I really want to go and drive around so I'm actually considering


like renting the Blue SG you know that car rental which charge, fifty cents per minute, is that or five cents per per minute (ppb), it's quite expensive actually I think it's per, per hour is actually like thirty dollars


ya but I guess if I just drive for like maybe half an hour like, still worth it lah I mean it's definitely cheaper than my driving lessons uh (ppb), my driving lessons is like thirty eight dollars per hour, oh really you mean you have a car to rent me


I never knew you own a car I only know your family own a car, uh your family don't have a P plate


oh I see then okay lah cause my brother, had his driving license, like earlier last year, so, he actually, wanted to pass me the P plate but I didn't want to take it cause it was too soon before I even had my license, (ppb) but I guess now I can borrow from him


and, well but your car doesn't have a insurance for me, if anything happens and I'm quite worried for that, but Blue SG actually have insurance covered for that so


yes, I guess that's why it's more expensive, but Blue SG, is quite cool I mean electric car, well if I were to just to try driving around


I just need me and myself only why would I need a big car, right, I mean when you look at like you when you watch drama when you watch movies it's like, people just driving around aimlessly like you know acting like some rich ass kid


(ppb) so I mean it's quite good to do that some day I mean, when I drive around like people will think that whoa whoa whoa so cool she's driving around


you know you always say you hate driving but the thing is, you also I remember you saying that you don't trust me to drive ah, so how would, (ppb) so why would you now ask me to drive you around when you don't even trust me to drive


and to gain the trust you need to give me some chance right if you don't give me the opportunity to prove, my skills to you, how can you actually, know whether I'm a safe driver, or whether I'm actually a reckless driver on the road


and if I'm a reckless driver on the road obviously I wouldn't be able to get my driving license, on my first try right


so you mean I can just bring my P plate from my house and bring to your house then I can just drive your car around, okay I'm fine with driving you and you alone but not your sister or any other of your family members I think


the more people the scarier it is and like more lives are on, in the my hands so probably, okay probably just you and your dad but, but to be able to drive your sister around maybe like when I pass your test when you


officially stamp, approve, you are a safe driver okay, then I can drive your sister around, okay


oh so recently I'm watching this Netflix drama is called, how to get away with murder, oh honestly I've been rushing I mean I'm not rushing through, but I've been watching a lot recently like


the, past few days I've just been watching, a lot of episodes so even though I started, one week ago, or was it two week ago, okay but then I'm actually on my forth season now and, yes (ppb), forth season and like episode eleven or so


and actually there's a, fifth episode but I mean fifth season, but it's not out on Netflix yet so I'm, hoping to maybe slow down and, and be able to catch the season five when I'm on the last episode of my season four


uh I can't really remember but probably sixteen or eighteen, I think it's like one hour or so because it's actually, quite a lot of details in one episode and every episode there're really


like the climax, so it really makes you want to continue watching more and more episodes so that's why I rush through, so it's about this professor teaching her students on, criminal law


and eventually there are murders around, and they have to find ways to get away with murder based on, the, base on what they know on the law, ya, actual murder case where even the students themselves commited


and, the professor actually cover up for them, because, she felt the need to help them, honestly I have no idea why she help them and, the students are always doubting her they , they even hated her for


who she is, no, most of the murders, are not committed on purpose but rather, okay so the first murder that


the one of the student commit, is actually because she was he was trying to save another girl, the person he murdered is actually the professor's husband, and the professor's husband was actually trying to kill another girl, because of what she know


like he was actually having a an affair with another student, and got her pregnant and the student was ended up dead, so while investigating that, suicide eh that, murder case, then they link it to the husband and they realize that the husband had something to do with it


and the husband actually want to kill one of the witness, and while trying to prevent that, the student actually hit the, husband with a, hard object on the head and actually, killed it


why do you not have the time to watch


around there, okay lah as in, since I'm a having two quizzes on the same date, two weeks time, so I guess I probably have to start studying for some of them and yesterday I was actually studying for my Korean module


and for my fyp module I guess I've to start reading up on previous, modules, I think I definitely have to read on, chemical reactions engineering


because that mod is highly related to FyP


lab (ppb)


you mean you can't even remember what modules you are taking, I'm really really relieved that I went on summer exchange instead of a, full semester exchange, because, now I'm only left with, three modules per semester for this remaining last year in NtU


so actually, having three modules a semester is really, way lesser than past semester like, when we have, five six modules, haven't


it I mean, now I only have one finals to prepare for and, I guess it's, really gives me more time to, do my own stuff, to search for a job, and prepare for what's coming on next year


yes honestly I'm quite tired, and I'm still thinking (ppb) what kind of job I should go for honestly


as a chemical engineer, your, job prospects is, really very diverse, you can go into banking you can go into oil and gas you can go into semi conductor industry, I mean, there are just so many things you can do holding a


chemical engineering degree, and I'm, just thinking about what I can do, I mean I'm interested in the oil and gas industry, and they're probably one of the highest paying industry


but, whether or not I get the job, that's the question I guess , I guess so I mean


I did rather well in my internship company and, they have expressed interest in me wanting to go back but, I can only ask them, next year in, yes because they


they need immediate hire instead of like holding a position for one year and wanting you to go back, for my internship company recently these few years


they are actually hiring fresh graduates which is, rather new they started, that only last year, so actually, I would, be the third batch, of fresh graduate to go in to that company if I were to go


back to my intern company, no usually, what we start will be the unit engineer where we take care of one unit


so that's usually where people start, and from there then you go onto the operations team, as the, business unit leader


usually the safety department, you will need people with experience to go in, they don't take fresh grad for that because safety department deals a lot, with, like regulations, and, government staff you can't let a fresh grad screw that up


I think one most important thing in a job would be


the pay of course, I mean everybody would want to have a, high paying job no matter what job you do, but obviously I hope that I really enjoy whatever I will be doing, and


of course the working environment would be important but, you wouldn't know that until you have been inside the company and working for a few years, so what you, for now it will be, the company and what they can offer me


that's the most important thing


oh speaking about that actually I just, went on one interview workshop, last Friday, so actually the tips were rather useful it makes me realise that I actually have a lot of, preparation work to do before hand


and I really need to list down, the strength and weaknesses I have, and structure them accordingly, so what I learn is that this star structure star framework I'm not sure if you heard of it, is so you start with the


so, it's more of to, uh when they ask you a situation question


so S is the situation, T is the task, like you explain what the task you have to do, A would the actions will elaborate, details like, what are the actions you have taken in respect, to the task that you are given


and R is the results so what result did you achieve, base on whatever situation you are given in, and from there it actually shows a very good structure of, what are the exact things you have done, so like for example, if the in if the


interviewer ask you like, oh tell me a time when you, display leadership or you led led a team to, to work towards a common goal, so so I would have to follow this, S T A R structure which which I have learnt


and, the most important thing would be to actually, write down quite a few situation that might occur, so that you can prepare for the interview, and even though you can never tell what questions can come out but preparing


for your strength own strength and weaknesses you can, change the way you, express yourself accordingly to based on the questions


oh so actually, I guess I would, mention my cca in ntu, part of a, convocation club where we organizes the convocation dinner for the graduating students in our school


yes and then the task would be whatever role I'm in like, program manager needing to, come up with a program, the actions would be like, working with the other program managers having meetings with the program directors


coordinating with the emcees and the logistic side, and the results would be like the, event end up as a really successful with prof giving us feedback that, they really enjoyed the event


so for that workshop, we also learn (ppb), to like you know, the most standard question in a interview, is when they ask you, tell me more about yourself, so, before prior going to the interview workshop I really have no idea I mean


tell me more about yourself what do they want to know, your cca, your real life I mean everything else is in your resume, but actually what they want to know is how you could actually, bring your


pass, you should follow the present past future, structure, so you talk about present you are a student whatever, and your past so you had a event going on


[orh] ya your internship, then future as in how this internship, skills, or like leadership skills can you bring to this company, and what makes this job, what makes you a good fit for the job


exactly, they tell you to tell you more about yourself that's the trick question (ppb) but you have to know that


why are they asking you this because, if you were just to say elaborate on what is in your resume I mean they can just read it on their own, but what they want to know is why are you a good fit they wouldn't know so you have to tell them, so that's really one point that I learnt from there


ya so what have you learnt recently I seem to be talking too much right now so I guess, I'll pass the time over to you to talk a bit more


I see I guess you just have to see, which, which has the most (ppb), best learning experience, and yet at the same time it wouldn't compromise your study


I will be taking three mods this sem and three mods next sem, yes one elective and one, C P E ger-pe which is a bio module, and I really hate bio so I


quite sure I'm quite sure I wouldn't do well on that module but, oh well we still have, half a year to go before that happen


so you mean you can actually come up with your own activities I mean if, you can think of something you can just come up with your own event, that has no history before


no what is that, oh oh so it's a bouncy castle


oh-my-god I think sounds really fun eh can I join if you are having that maybe you can ask me to join that lah


ya, do you know that, like recently I mean like as in as of, past few days until today there's a, typhoon going to the direction of Hong-Kong, ya cause my relatives are staying there so actually my, dad has been looking at the updates and there's actually a


website, they update every hour, of the direction that it's heading and a predicted, path that it will be going, no


no I don't think they prepare anything ah but, I guess it should be fine if they were to just stay indoors, for the time being but, oh my dad actually send a video it was quite interesting eh, it was like yesterday, then nearing the shore of


I'm not sure which place, like the fishes on the that, river I guess, they were all jumping out eh, until, they were on land, and it was like, not just one or two you there was like hundreds of fishes eh


and, the video even captured the, them jumping out, they are just like, crazy just jump jump jump jump jump and then they jump out, onto the shore but then on the shore they are still like, flapping around


I guess it's due to the, erratic, sea, I mean the motion, typhoon probably affects like the under, water current as well I guess, I don't know I'm just trying to make sense of, why the fish will be


jumping out , oh-my-god that sounds like Pup-g do you play Pup-g, oh really oh my god Pup-g is really a great game you should try playing that


excuse me I believe you just said that you haven't, you don't play Pup-g and yet you are telling me there's a new map, ya obviously you are kidding, because and we play Pup-g together


oh me too, just now because the mission would be to get top ten, and actually because you got the top, to, so actually the mission was completed, I guess but then the mission wouldn't


the next week's mission would still, be, will only start like in three four days time right, oh okay I guess I can still play to


bring other missions, closer to


okay so your lab report what lab what lab session is that what experiment did you do


ya I did it last year but honestly I don't remember much about it


ya for formal report you really need to, put in a lot of effort, especially since the weightage, for the score I think it's double of that of Log Board or more, ya there is a breakdown in the instruction I think and just follow the instruction structure


like all the tables and everything, the formatting, the font size, everything you need to follow strictly


no you remember the instruction page that you were reading that time, that okay, I can't remember if there is but, I believe so, and there will be like the things to add in lah like the discussion error analysis and stuff like that


so you have to add in everything, that is on that piece of paper, as in you just need to go through it while you are doing the lab report there's no point in reading cause you


when you're doing the lab report you probably won't remember what's on the paper so you just to refer to it while you are doing, lab report


lab manual I think you should print lah I mean you have to, you need something to write down the results mah, although most of, okay then I guess probably not most of the time usually just one person, one or two person will be taking down the results and the rest


I mean we will just circulate the results around lah that's what we usually do


ya there were like a lot of technical questions, which (ppb), some of them we don't really know how to answer, but the prof, gives a second chance so even though we couldn't answer on the spot, then he gave us the time


to go back and research and, get back to him, the, following week, which is really good lah I mean we have the time to research because, we have to do research beforehand before knowing what questions he ask so some of the questions were really unexpected


and we couldn't give him a answer on the spot so, find out, more, and then get back to him the next


but, the prof has already left Ntu, I believe he's no longer teaching, so I don't think that, the, teaching assistant will actually ask you questions on that


because for the previous lab they never ask you right, so it means that there's no, weightage on the questions on the Q and A session lor


I see


most labs end ya I mean, the scheduled time is like six hours, most labs will end, earlier but, I think there's (ppb) but, even if it ends late you get to, take turns and


have a lunch break, nope I don't remember, is not the one with the two labs, is the one of the


so, ya, so, maybe we can talk about shopping, let me know do you actually do any shopping on your own


oh wow that's really cool how much do you bought it for


oh wow what what but why do we need to be a surprise I mean is there any


!wah! I swear hor your family's daughter right really, really have a super good life eh can I like be part of your family , so your brother know that it's meant to be a surprise also ah, see then later he tell you her already


maybe he has already told her, how would you know he could be at home right now, I see


so you tell your you told your parents not to tell them, your dad seriously hor love your sis damn a lot eh


I believe not because that requires extra drilling, and, I I not sure the the overhead cover is drill on or how how the how do you put it on, ya how do you fix it


how do you fix it without drilling, oh I see I guess I have to go and take a look to understand what you are talking about


I cannot imagine anything or I visualise anything right now so I guess, we we shall see that later but


I think it's always better to lean it against the wall to maximise the space, if not it seems very weird leh like your bed is in the middle of nowhere then after that two sides


why can't you lean against the wall


so this the wall this the wall, why, you can


window , you (ppb) still can, but I mean even though it's higher than the window it doesn't matter mah as in, you can still, open and close your windows that's the most important thing


I believe, there's this invention called the curtains, where you can close it, to prevent the lights from coming in so it wouldn't be too bright when you are sleeping


yes, well I guess it say it shows that you should, be more mindful from now onwards and I guess


if your bed were be to, whichever side you should leave, that side of the window close and then you open the other sides window, why would that be


I guess (ppb), there are two, solutions to your problem, it's not fully opaque, that's why okay okay three solutions one to get a new curtain


two move house, get, get a house that wouldn't have so much sun shining in when like in the middle of the, afternoon, and three study elsewhere don't study at home, you can go to library you can go to school you can go to your friend's house you can go


I mean pretty much anywhere or you can even share your sister's room to study what I mean, her room is, your room, oh for watching show wise that's a very good question so maybe when you're watching show you can like put up your blanket


against the curtains so it's like a double layer curtain, then that will prevent lights from coming in it will be like very cool you know like you it dims everything it's like a cinema, so I guess (ppb), that's another solution too solution four


yay, of course as an engineer we are taught to look at problems, from different point of view and is of course important that we have to, we have to


apply what we learn into real life real life situations, but you know after talking for like one hour, and so, I'm really hungry I'm hungry I'm hungry I'm really hungry what shall we eat for lunch


oh really what will be the soup paste, mala mala


oh Hai-Di-Lao I know there's the Mala there's the tomato, there's the mushroom oh it's mushroom, I I believe I never tried the mushroom eh I've always eaten the tomato, and the Mala one I had really have no idea where (ppb) the soup paste is (ppb)


remember that time your mum gave me a pack of that Mala soup paste, and it's been sitting in my house but I have no idea where is it now eh, no, oh probably but I have no idea where is it !huh! talking about eaten you know I just bought a packet of chips like two days ago


Ruffles sour cream and onion (ppb) because I was so hungry I went to school like, only eating breakfast, then after that I end lesson at like, at like four thirty, so I was really hungry and I was thinking should I go and buy


fish soup, or, what else should I buy but then, I haven't been eating chips for really long, for long period of time and really, want to eat, so I just went to giant and bought a pack of chips, I mean usually I have bottom too


I would have gotten two if there's a promo but there isn't so I just got one, and then, I went home and eat, and my brother was there too so we share the pack and we eat like, seventy eighty percent of it, and the next morning I woke up it's gone I don't know who have eaten it but I guess


I don't know, I I mean I woke up my brother was at the sofa, so I've I I was just casually asking him oh so how does it feel like eating my, my chips for breakfast then he just keep laughing eh, then I don't know he laugh is like he guilty laugh but then he keep saying is not him eh he say is my sister, but my sister don't usually eat my chips so I I really don't know


but I think I slept later than him that's why I woke up later then, I don't know eh but my sis was at home, that night, so in the morning I guess, it is possible that she has eaten the chip


but, I don't know my brother's response was really suspicious , it has to be in the morning I guess, me


why would you think I notice that the chips was gone right away in the morning because sometimes chips is my breakfast, I mean, in morning you don't feel like eating anything but like oh something savory okay I mean, I would crave for savory food any time of the day so of course


doesn't matter whether it's breakfast lunch or dinner it can be any meal, it's a good substitute for me, it has high satisfaction level, okay that is in econs term


but, my econs is not very well although I got a A for that module A plus <unk> actually, oh it's not finished yet


is are are there still a lot left, oh doesn't that mean there's only like one slice left


so small, as in but how many of that bite size left, so do you put the cheesecake in the freezer or the chiller, or the bottom compartment


I'm guessing it's in the chiller, you made ice cream cheesecake


oh I see you know end up the the cheesecake that I bought bought home right, the few slices I think there are like, four or five slices (ppb), so my dad ate one, my mum ate one, and I ate the rest (ppb)


because I keep asking my sister to eat but then she hasn't been home for quite a few days and then even when she's home, and I tell her that there's cheesecake in the fridge she's always too busy preparing to go work, or whatever then she just never eat, oh ya there was another day that I was so hungry that I came home


I was thinking, what should I eat then I just okay cheesecake then I left two slice eh then I just ate two slices at one go, it's like how can you resist that goodness


no but the thing is I would just took out the whole box then, so the whole box was out of the fridge and like you know like when I eat finish one slice there's like oh no left one small, part left so I might as well just


but talking about the cheesecake, I need to return you the box though, then how about the thermal bag later your mum think I steal it eh


wow is that made by your mum, yay I love Yong-Tau-Foo and, speaking about steamboat so do we have to prepare anything for that later on, like do we have to buy any extra stuff


buy desserts or make dessert, like honeydew sago like last time or whatever


oh whoa a feast but are they going to wait for us to eat, or will they be starting first and we go back and, have round two


ya I think it will be quite late by the time this ends because I think it, we will probably end at like two, fifteen, and honestly


me is just craving for some pizza right now, Pizzahut


I really want to try the cheesy seven eh but then like very expensive leh, I mean I'm a poor college student, I want to try the cheesy seven or maybe someone could just make it for me, and add in lots of cheese


I mean I wouldn't mind death by cheese that's like the best thing that could ever happen to you right, like every few years or like every


oh ya I thought I thought that's another one eh I mean there's like the cheese crust like the cheese burst, but cheesy seven I'm not sure if the crust is filled with cheese as well


ya the Man-Man it it has really high rating and oh-my-god


I don't know I mean eel is damn nice I mean eel eel eel but, the fish Unagi is really nice, I mean, oh you're a fan of fish what you should love Unagi also


oh so craving, what else am I craving, let me think about it, I want to eat steak, steak is a all time favourite, like we mention at the beginning of the of this recording


medium rare steak, oh the, what's that the the one at Holland Village, the I Steak, !wah! that that piece of, what one KG, seven hundred grams


that piece of steak is all the goodness you can ever get


recess week I would actually need to start preparing for one of my, modules quiz because the quiz has been rescheduled to the, week after recess week, but what about you don't you have any quiz after recess week


oh wow and you can say that confidently and at the same time you said, you want to go out I mean okay I'm not saying that we are not going out at all but shouldn't you, be more prepared for your quizzes aren't you cold


okay I guess we have to ask her to adjust the air con later on


I don't know but honestly Singapore is really quite boring and after you have been to like every places I mean, there aren't much places that you can go, and, common place, Bugis Orchard Sentosa


what else nothing, and all the shopping malls around I mean but all the shopping malls are about the same, I I remember I remember I know of some place that we can go, do you remember that time when we went


JB, the there is this, I forgot what mall is it but there's this climbing wall that is really quite cheap and worth it


the Aeon yes, so like I if I didn't remember wrong, like maybe ten sing dollars around there for like, whole day right, they have like all the walls there is no restriction of how long you can stay there


unlike the Singapore like the, is it Tampines which one that we've been to, Kallang oh ya that that is really, like limited time but although I don't think we will stay (ppb) that long enough


ya we can ask the rest of our friends and see if any are interested but, whether or not they are going we can go on our own also we just decide, which day we want to go and ask them if they want to go, because asking them to decide will, take forever ever ever


wow in the west for one you have my house, for two, you have NtU, and in NtU I think, we can get a we can book a squash court


and, in the west there's also swimming pools I mean, what do you call that they are with facilities like you know the slide, the lazy river, the jacuzzi, and that applies to both the #Jurong#-West and #Jurong#-East swimming pool


which I believe the east doesn't have that so that is one good thing about the west, while Wild-Wild-Wet is like times ten the price


I can't remember if we have been there before I mean all my life I have been there like many many times, but, we can go there some day


we need to, have a meeting with, our FyP group mate and finish up our FyP assignment one, and (ppb), I guess we have to do more research, I thought we are meeting up on Tuesday


I mean we can start any time we want we can just create a Google doc and then, input everything in first then after that we discuss I think that would be better


I have nothing, I believe Koh-Xiong have nothing also, oh sure okay I guess, okay okay I I think maybe we can go to school in the, you mean morning afternoon then after you your lesson end you can join us


oh ya you, probably end lab earlier also


alright I guess I should, text him soon and ask him when shall we have our meeting


ya sounds good I think we really need much more time to prepare for the quiz, and (ppb) I really have no idea, what the quiz will be on about I mean it's just very, abstract based on what our professor say like


no calculation just on concept, probably like our assignments, but


but if so then I think that's why the, studying for the chemical reactions is important because it's, very much on knowing, which reactor to use what's the difference, the residence time


bible, I mean but that is if you have strong concepts of previous, modules if you can remember everything because I, when he went through the notes right some of the things that he mention I can't really remember so I


definitely have to go and revise on that module, that's exactly what I've said


I don't remember any of the uni ops, related things, or like distillation so really


but, he has taught our seniors before, I mean that name is not a new, yes so he has experience


the FyP and I hope that he will be teaching well


exactly I I I I understand what you meant


as in I, think, I don't know eh but then having people whom you are not familiar with to work together as a group is, is a challenge by itself uh, like having to discuss the structure then after that


splitting the work equally, doing it up then after that compile everything again


I mean, the most basic structure is always introduction, to the topic then after that, have like how many people are there in your group, so like one to do the introduction two to explain like one each to have a factor evaluating


like you do a analysis, then evaluation, for two factors, then the last one will be to do the conclusion lah, as in that's the most basic structure but is just the content each of you have to think, you have to come up with the two factors first so


so that the person writing the introduction and the conclusion can work towards the same, direction


maybe you can start with saying, okay so now I have a thousand, a thousand dollars to give out so how many will you of you want then you see how many of them raise hand or whatever then like like, like if they show excitement in like, wanting the money or like maybe you really like wave two fifty dollars bill


so actually, those who are really engaging enough really give them like, you say that then you see uh then you can, this prove that happiness equals to money


so, what do you do usually to relax


I believe is the movie called, Mission-Impossible-Sky-Fall, Tom Cruise is so handsome


oh so is she planning to watch with your dad or is she going to give away


it is true but, considering our schedule and timetable now we weekdays we definitely don't have time to go and watch


I want popcorn you know I'm really hungry now so talking about any food like popcorn, pizza sushi, oh-my-god is just everything, under the sun I would eat it, like you give me a raw cow a big cow I I will finish the whole cow devour the cow


ya, I remember I bought a book for like fifty cents it was really cheap, but then I can't remember if I've read it, as in, as in as in okay, I have read a book but it was at least like, half a year ago


or, longer than that so I can't really remember, what but usually the books that I buy are all on like murder mystery thriller, because that are the genre that I like


oh ya okay that is not a physical book it's a, electronic book so it's actually on this , application phone app (ppb) called overdrive it actually links to the national library board, which is really damn cool because you can have a lot of


books and you can just like, link it to your library account then you can, borrow books online you download the, electronic version and you can read it anytime you want, and even though if if it expires it will be removed from your own, downloaded history but then you can redownload again


and like borrow it again except that it saves you the trouble of going to the library (ppb), physically and choosing the book, but instead you can just do your research online find what books you want go onto the app and, just search that book


so it's a really convenient app, and I recommend to everyone who love reading if that includes you


I see but I really love reading I mean, I don't know but for me personally reading, is really way different from watching a movie although, now in everything you watch, like it makes, watching a film a drama on TV


move like theaters online's way easier than the past, but in the past reading a book is really interesting because, it gives you way more details than uh, than a movie could show, it's like you read when I read a book right sometimes I really put myself in the shoes of the character


and I could wake up, dreaming about it I mean like I will I will get confused eh like sometimes when I see something it's like Deja-Vu, did I read it somewhere or did I really experienced it


ya that's why it's like it's as, that's why it's as though like they put a, real life movie right in front of me like I I mean okay not right in front of me but instead I jump into that , that movie and experience it, (ppb) it's like a different experience uh


exactly it's unlike a movie you just sit there and look and look and look I mean although like, movie is good lah but, it's just different experience I would say


but yet you wouldn't want to try reading a book, how about this what if I give you fifty dollars for you to, read a book, of at least, a hundred pages, a storybook I mean it can be fiction non fiction of your choice


but then not those with like a few words (ppb) a pages, in a page, it can be fiction it can be non fiction but, I don't want it to be like you know those books like poems like one page with only a few liners


oh so you will be the rich dad


!aiya! actually that time when I when we went to library I I saw a book that was really interesting, and wanted to download it on the on the overdrive


but then, I actually forgot the title so I couldn't go and find it but like when at the library when I read like the, the back cover of the book you know like, like describing what this book is about I think it's really


even though they always say don't judge a book by its cover but then, basically that's what we always do when we go to library lah I mean that's what I always do, I have to read the back and find out if the story is interesting if the content is interesting, and then I will want to borrow this book or not


yup sounds really good idea


but do you keep your literature review between three to five because it's really important to keep within that, if you have too many literature review in just that introduction, passage right, it's (ppb) too much a you're you're not just doing your research based on


what other people wrote but rather you are evaluating your own like, like why you are doing that


yes lah it's like you basically, what you did is you find the gap mah like what's bad what's wrong with those, that's why that's the lit review basically uh you just have to, find out the like quote, you need to do a citation, and then you quote the source then after that


you, need to make at least like one sentence comment on it or why is it not good and what makes yours better


ya I think it's okay ah as in as long as your, you, I mean the objective you need to mention the objective of your project, the scope of your project like the previous gaps, and basically that's, everything [orh]


as and that's also what you need to do in your presentation I mean depending on your, on your tutor, but that time I my tutor like she wants us to write, to really on the slides right you need to write okay this is the gap, then you need to write this is the scope


as in she wants to see, exactly where are all these things like because there are some people right who just, they mention verbally okay so, the scope of this experiment is whatever, and then end up during Q and A she still have to ask them so what is your scope I don't think you you mention your scope


so it's like what she wants is actually like, whatever you want to say right just put it on the slide, but it depends on your tutor lah


okay I guess I'll be the one helping you vet through, and I probably can help you edit on your grammar, I mean , well I don't know ya


what, oh I guess maybe that's why I am better at writing, like I, can check grammars, errors, like I tend to spot them easily but I'm not much of a verbal person


although it seems as though I'm talking a lot over here but usually, I'm really not a verbal person I mean, it depends on who I'm speaking to as well, I guess I'm comfortable with you enough for me to like keep on talking around here


but I'm not too sure it means that but if that makes you happy then go ahead and think that way, seems to me that you are very cold, so how about later when she come then


we could ask her to adjust the air conditioning temperature, sure make be you can do that oh talking about hand signals actually


I used to like there was a period of time I really wanted to learn sign language, like I thought it would be really useful especially since, I've work, at, as a retail like selling chocolates there was once I really I saw a person


beside like, who can only do sign language, so like, I at that point in time I thought it would be really good if I could just like communicate with the person, but then, after that, I realise actually sign language is really difficult and it's a rather competitive module in NtU


it's not very hard to get I think it's even harder than Korean, that's why, end up, no precisely because I am a forth year student and now


I would think, rather on learning a new language which I will only learn the super basics which I can learn from, the like internet, I think it's better for me to continue learning Korean because I'm already taking level three right now


and next semester I can take level four, I think the higher level you go the more important it is that there is someone to coach you on it so, for me I think the learning value is higher, continue to turn take a language at a higher level


rather than a new like sign language, although, although I really hope that, universities, schedule should really gives us more, unrestricted electives to take and I will really take all as languages


I would want to learn Japanese, maybe French German but I know it's like really damn hard because I cannot, twist my tongue and like, do all those, pronunciation but, it will be good to learn some day I guess


how about you any interest in learning language


to be honest ah, as a friend of yours for like three over years, Spanish or French don't seem very suitable for you oh


I mean (ppb), I would think speaking like some dialects like maybe Cantonese is better for you, yes so


I think, speaking dialects learning dialects would be seems to suits you better than Spanish


so, ten most spoken language in Europe would be, Russian German, French, English is actually forth


yes, okay so actually I'm not so much of a car person, so, I I okay car wise right I'm I'm not into like


car models or whatever but, I don't, go into like okay this car wow the, the specs are so good like I mean, can drive really well, but for me maybe just the usability like the number of seaters like family car


or, like the colour, and things like that lah I mean, I don't have preference but probably I will probably, look more at the price point, and make sure it can fit my budget if I were to get one, because


I mean getting a car is expensive on it's own, and it needs to make sure that the oil is like fuel efficient cost efficient


okay for my point of view I think two seater car is never a economical point, because, it's not as though the fuel you will use is halved, or less than half


of those, of the normal cars, but it wouldn't be a proportion of the number of seaters


but it is definitely not family friendly I mean you have a family, and you will have another family in future so what makes you think, that a two seater car is family friendly I mean imagine, if you were to drive, your girlfriend around you can't drive your parents


if you drive your mum you can't drive your dad, if you drive your dad you can't drive your mum it's like it's a either or and or, it's not a and


but you'll be wasting money on that car I'm, why have, why spend money on, a car that has like little usability or like if you want to drive yourself to work then why not just, okay like on


days that you really need to rush to work then you take Grab, then like or taxi, all, two seater car wise I believe your brother used to have a two seater car and he upgraded to a


normal five seater car so he you should probably seek his advice as to why a two seater car is not, as ideal especially two seater cars the only two seater cars I I have ever sat in always, break down and there are always lots of problem like the tire puncture


then like the door couldn't open, there's all sorts of problems with it so I really have a bad experience with a two seater car and I wouldn't, recommend you to get one in future


oh motorbike oh do you know like my brother used to actually learning a motorbike, my parents still have no idea that he's learning motorbike and I think, he only plans to say that after he got his license and so far he had he is proud that he had he hasn't fall down


so good job I mean like like my friend, she she learn motorbike and she fell down and have a really big bruise on her, knee like the whole knee oh-my-god it was so bad, ya, it's like


I think there was one course its, I think up a slope but then very it's, she told me that it's like up a ramp or something but it's, really so thin that you only has space for your wheels so it's really easy to just go down, like fall down and then when it falls right because it's so heavy then as a girl she couldn't


(ppb) hold it up and then it just fell on her, okay for that part I am not too sure because I've never seen that part in the circuit before


I mean okay I never seen it I mean I never take note of it lah I was just, busy practising my own circuit lesson


okay uh yes but it's not from reverse parking it's a really uh, it's a lane by its own, there's this, it's like there's a obstacle course on it's own, so you have to, go towards the curb you stop in front of the curb, then after that your front view must be out on the curb and then you faster press brake


then, ya okay so so once you once your front wheel is up the curb right, then you have to brake handbrake P like parking, then after that the instructor will go down and remove the pole, and then ask you to go forward so your back wheel have to be up on the curb also


then after that he will ask you to move forward so your front wheel has to go down the curb like that you have to stop, you have to brake at every point ah, so ya if front wheel go down brake, then after that back wheel go down brake, then after that you need to reverse your wheels, to go up like only the back wheels up the curb and brake also


then once you done with that course then you can go lor but you just have to, brake at every point in time uh like you up brake, back up brake break, go down brake go down brake


ya I I have no idea that, for manual you don't have to do that sia that time, who did I ask I think I asked, one of my friend, I I think so then like she told me that don't need, then I'm like oh interesting I thought it's


I thought like everybody needs to do that, and like for the for the ramp wise ours, I think, auto is way easier also, because for us it's just, you see the light you go you just go up the slope, then you brake, and handbrake


then after that you just do a signal check, and you can, the step the accelerator and let go of the handbrake and go, like you don't need to like roll back, with less than how many cause we there's no it's not possible for us to roll back at all


for manual ah yes I think so


ya I I never knew that actually form, motorbike there's also this biting point (ppb) I thought it's only for, manual cars, ya


you have you must learn manual bike yes, so my brother is learning then he told me that, he, okay lah it's quite funny because he went to he bought a new pair of gloves on Taobao, I think it's supposed to meant to be cool I can't remember is it too tight or what but he


is I don't know is too tight or too loose lah but he couldn't feel the biting point, I didn't know it's feel on the hands one, so end up he he had to throw that pair of gloves away and, use the, old glove


no but but because your glove I think too tight I don't know , it's just so uncomfortable that he couldn't feel it properly lah, kind of you have like those


you know like the long sleeve kind that you will wrap over if you are afraid of the sun, those kind of, ya and like glove long pan


no because, for motorbikes you have to learn in school uh then in school you always see them they wear this vest, is the school's vest mah, I guess that's, the whole point I mean since you pay for the school so the school have to provide you with all these materials


uh okay I actually never really ask about the price, but there's no comparison either way because you can only learn it in school there's no private


okay I I guess I ask him when I get (ppb) back to you , ya most of the


driving centres they have their own motorbike lessons, and, usually it will be one instructor to a few students, so like, usually would see, a few of them always riding together so my brother is actually learning with


one of his friends, which, I'm not sure if it's good I mean it's good that there is somebody learning with you but you always have to coordinate your schedule like if one wants, he cannot then oh you cannot have lesson on that day also


ya but, okay since he, he chose that way I mean, he kind of, psych his friend into joining (ppb), like, like, like all the what do you call that the mentors whatever in the SpF they were all they all have bike licence also


so like they are all like just telling the friend to like eh join lah join lah just learn lah learn bike ah, as in my brother is of his own interest but his friend is kind of like, peer pressure i have no idea but


because he wants to own one, ideally he is planning to buy a bike after he get his licence, (ppb) but I'm not sure he's gone going to get the money from


and, I don't know you can buy a bike when you are below twenty one years old, I mean I thought ownership you have to be like really good if you are twenty one years old or, sometime


next, ya, yes, because when you are in NS


that is before you, enter uni, in May, like the same year you enter uni, he will be only be going uni next year, yes


and in case you have forgotten my brother is actually two years younger than me, so maybe you can do some math and calculate, I don't know unless your math is really that bad then, eh then for your information he's actually four years younger than you so you can do the math based on your own age


well sure, I wouldn't do that, oh but talking about age you know it's quite interesting because (ppb), during my Korean lessons, it's always super interactive so like there's this section where


we learn about like okay how long has it, so my there was this passage where we have to read, so this person say oh it has been don't know how many years since I was born, then our teacher actually told us that that's really exactly the same year that she was born


then she was like it's a secret, so after that we all just calculate oh-my-gosh she is actually this age that age then, well okay I guess since nobody know here from here then, it's okay to say okay lah she's not that old she's, thirty eight years old, and she looks very young I guess all the Korean teachers they always look damn


and then she was super proud to say that oh it has been one year since she has, her first child, then was like wow


I, okay I'm not sure if it's first child but she she got her child, but it seems like it's her first, but I guess nowadays people tend to, get married at a later age and also have


kid at a later age, because of the burden, don't you think a kid is such a burden they are so noisy, so, hyperactive, dirty I


cannot stand having a kid, at least not at this point in time so, I don't know what about you what's your idea of having a kid


I think it depends to the extend lah like there are different extend, ya, yes why and


but I mean isn't it, common sense that it's a either or why would you want to use a stick and a dot then what if your stick actually, accidentally poke the dog you want to kill the dog


but, no I think I think a dog is, will be well train (ppb) enough to bring you, I mean not you but the person visually impaired personal


it wouldn't be GpS but I guess, maybe, that's why you need to train the dogs like maybe the few places you want, to go but most of the time, even if you have a walking stick the walking stick isn't your GpS, is just to


make sure you doesn't bump into obstacles, uh I guess the dogs are train to know where to bring you


they might be smart enough if you, like tell them, okay I guess like maybe the dog is like, maybe you can tell like okay home then, next time you just


bring the dog, around then they will know where is the home as in like, there has to be training to be done what, you know how you know how like those animals that got lost but then like after few days they will get back home, like eventually they'll know they can find their way home, that's that's how training can do to them


oh okay the pet fish is actually not mine it's my brother so it's this, blue fish lovely blue fish which I always imagine I will cook it for dinner I'm just kidding but, uh it's a stupid fish and my brother pampers it too much I think it's just a fish


when whenever he changes the water and he would and the fish wouldn't eat he will scoop out of, the food, and throw it away I mean it's a waste of food, because I tried right I mean like even though it doesn't eat but it would eat eventually, I mean like come on lah it's a fish eh it doesn't eat


it would just eat eventually when it's hungry what you can't force anything to eat


okay from what you say recycle <unk> assuming is just those hard type of straw, like, instead of plasticky like can bend one is those very hard kind right, [orh] I I I, ya ya okay I actually have


I think I have two of it, so, but the thing is I have never use them before okay so my friend actually went to Disneyland so he got this straw which is a hot, I mean what am I saying a hot a blue straw like, but is like with a slight twist


but it is a reusable kind of straw


okay lah but I guess a straw, for me personally is not much of a concern because I don't usually, buy much drinks outside I'm more of a health conscious person regarding drinks, okay maybe not the the food that I eat but drinks wise I wouldn't drink sweet drinks that much


I mean I opt for plain water whenever possible, and I don't like soft drinks, or, whatever sweet drinks, like I'm more of a savory person than a sweet, person, so I guess


I mean like I like chips I like salty stuff I like, pizzas so, drinks, is not a concern of mine lah, but you


unhygenic


ya actually to be honest plastic straws are really cheap, I mean, okay is a good effort to try to reduce the uses of the usage of plastic, but the thing is is, is it really that, significant, because


I don't know, ya, and yet your mum bought one whole big pack of plastic straws, and (ppb)


that's why, that's why you know like the fast food chain that stops, providing straws, there are like several, leash, because like other people are taking straws from elsewhere instead


exactly I mean, I mean from the food court, stand point it's definitely, not economical for other people like other consumers not


dining in to just take the straws and, go, I mean like, obviously they're not a supplier of the straws and even though the way they phrase their, notice maybe, seem offend, may offend some people but


I'm on their side for this issue


ya I mean, that's what KfC has been saying and I actually went to read some of the comments on Facebook like after, K F C, came out saying that oh they actually still provide straws to those who ask for it, but then, the comments were that uh


some of them had ask, before that before KfC have made that statement but KfC actually don't give, so, uh no honestly I was a fan of KfC when I was in primary school it was the, best fast food chain ever but


now the standard has really drop so much so that, I don't even feel like eating, as in, I mean fried chicken is good but honestly no fried chicken can ever compare, be compared to Korea ever since I've been there, like you know Korea have all sorts of lovely fried chicken


oh but, honestly okay honestly for me right Arnold's is not really that great, compared to Korea, Korea chickens cause


okay, I think firstly the, the flavour is not really there it feels rather plain, and like the skin is not, like super super crispy, and like, the sides are not that fantastic


and the price point is really way too high for what I would have paid, for the chicken I mean in Korea wise right even if is, like way more expensive I'm willing to pay for it because is really damn nice


ya okay that why I have never eaten chicken in, like Singapore I mean Korean chicken in Singapore but then, chicken wise right, maybe I, that I haven't I really haven't seen, one that is, like good enough for me to like go and keep eating


ya Four-Fingers I don't like it it's too salty the soy sauce flavour


oh-my but the skin is the one that makes it expensive , ya it's it's really salty and it's like, I don't know I just don't get why they make it so salty and, and it's it's quite expensive for a few pieces of chicken wing and I


and not willing to pay for it again that's why I have only eaten, Four-Fingers once and I have never ever step foot in ever again


talking about food I am hungry again I mean I am have been hungry since, like one hour ago but !huh! I'm still hungry, hungry hungry (ppb)


oh ya, I thought we watch together, gap


I don't know but I remember the mooncake episode there is the durian mooncake then there is alcohol, mooncake, you have extra mooncake for me


[orh] okay okay, ya and actually my my house already have like few boxes and I still haven't got the one from, I buying for my friend


so I don't think we need unless, snow skin I like snow skin but then I don't think your family would want (ppb), but your sister don't like snow skin meh


I swear my my (ppb) our our (ppb), ya , no, ya that's why I I wouldn't buy it unless it's it's worth it lah must


it depends on the price mah, if they charge it like where higher then of course lah don't don't get it lah, but then, if the price seems reasonable then I don't mind, but okay lah actually don't, my mum went for some voluntary event yesterday


so then she also brought back some mooncakes and there's some snows, uh haven't yet, so, what she did for the volunteering right she had to, she bought like, hundred over yam


you know the yam, yam, yes okay yam uh , (ppb) so, oh is the smaller kind of yam it's like


like maybe a fist size or smaller, so she bought hundred over pieces and, she had to boil them and bring to, Bishan for that event, so it's like a event for like those


for all those Buddhist like like minded, some were in charge of preparing food like some bring mooncake some make, some fry bee hoon, ever some preparing some do performance


some do the setup and she was, in charge of like bringing the yam, oh ya but anyway then then that's why she brought back some mooncakes as well


okay let's just continue until


oh my name is Bi-Xia


I have only so far I've only travelled to, Asian countries but recently I went to, Scandinavia, in late May I went to Norway and Sweden, it was uh summer season over there so


the weather was very hot, which wasn't what I was expecting


which, which sorry ah which part of Japan did you visit


how cold was it is it, was it below zero degrees


uh I've not been to I I've only been to Okinawa, I would love to visit other cities some day, Okinawa


it's, it's not so much of a tourist, place compared to like, Tokyo Osaka, those cities, but when I was there


there were lots of, Korean tourists and, Chinese tourist as well as Japanese tourist themselves


yes because the period that I went was in, late January, which, which was winter, but the, climate in Okinawa, it's not as cold as the mainland Japan


so ya so I think many of them, yes (ppb), it's mores, it's, is on the southern end, so it's not as cold


uh it ranges, around, eight, nine, to around, twelve


I see, but the the wind at Okinawa was very strong, so even though the temperature, is not that cold, you you will still feel chilly because of the wind


ya I think, Okinawans they, eat more of, uh pork, compared to the rest of uh Japan they eat more, more seafood, ya Okinawa they, they have this specialty


pork, I think it's called, uh I I'm not sure the, I'm not sure of the name but it's, the pigs have black, fur


uh why would why was why is it not as delicious


oh the you mean the octopus, and the dough the flour, oh okay


oh uh so did you I I've heard of this famous, ramen restaurant Ichiran ramen so did you also visit


uh what kind of booth was it


oh you sit at the bar, you have partition in between


oh that's interesting


so you don't get to see the server at all, oh which uh which is your favourite ramen


so it comes with, thick slices of Char-Siew, oh the the egg with the


runny yolk oh, my favorite food I likes I like to eat salmon, and also salmon roe


the egg sia, uh I like salmon, because it taste uh, it taste good it's very fresh


and I like the eggs because when you bite on it it bursts


uh I prefer torched, salmon like salmon Aburi, ya the one with the burn aroma


yes most of the time, okay uh in Okinawa besides the black


pork, they also have this seaweed called sea grapes, it's a bunch uh it's a seaweed, uh but the shape is like a bunch of grapes


so they call it sea grapes, so when you ya, uh ya it's seaweed, so when you bite on it, it bursts like the you know, prawn eggs the smaller sized


roes Ebi roes, so the texture is similar, but this is salty because it's seaweed


yes (ppb), I, I think so because sea grape is a


uh it's a specialty in Okinawa so I think it is only available in Okinawa, you should visit in summer


because Okinawa is famous for it's beaches, you can visit in summer for the sea sports, and maybe snorkeling


the they have very beautiful beaches and, the sea there is really blue they have different shades of blue, in you can see different shades of blue in one ocean


but you will be wearing a life jacket


uh did you manage to retrieve it, I see, now I understand why


I see, oh I have not been to Bali


so it's uh each, each group of, each group of people can have their own villas, they have their own swimming pool


that's really nice, err I will bring insect repellent (ppb)


what, oh what did you do in Bali


so it's only the shoes


I see, oh I went to this carnival, called paddle on waves, two O one eight, a few weeks ago, uh it was at East Coast Park


I tried, windsurfing, and stand up paddling, stand up paddling is uh, you you will stand up on this


uh what what do you call this surf board, you have to stand up on the surf board and you, paddle with the, paddles


it it's a paddle ya ya, ya so you so you just paddle left, and ride but you need to change hands, uh similar but you are standing on the surf board


uh it's very difficult to balance on the, windsurf


oh I I only learnt to, stand up on stand up and balance on the windsurf for, for a while (ppb), but after that , I lost my balance and I fell into the water


oh you can always try again next time, oh you can try stand up paddling


it's not as difficult, you can start off by uh kneeling on the surfboard, and once you get your balance you can try to, stand up and paddle


uh is okay you can try other sports


uh which which mountain did you uh, hike at


was it very steep


roll down the hill, I see do you think trekking shoes will help


I see


only once


I see, I see, I am actually planning to, go to, uh Mount-Kinabalu next year with my colleague


err I haven't check it out yet , Kota-Kinabalu


it's, ya mine, colleague told me that it's four thousand meters


yes so I better get prepared


yes I certainly will I will try to, go for more, uh more tracking, exercises in Singapore before I go, we are looking at


May next year, yes, so I probably need to go tracking, every once a week


oh I went I went to Bukit-Timah yesterday for trekking, but Bukit-Timah is only one hundred and sixty three metres


uh we started from Dairy Farm, and we had we climbed up this steep steps, up to the hill top, and then we, went down from Bukit-Timah Hill


took us about forty five minutes, yes


uh not I'm not sure about the distance but, the climb upwards was tiring, because it's all steps and the steps are very steep


mountain, ya definitely, oh I was in choir


I love to sing, I used to be able to hit, but I haven't been singing for many years


we I remember we, perform for, our jc opening ceremony, yes, it was graced by, some minister I cannot remember who


we did went for syf, Singapore Youth Festival, yes


yes but I don't think we won anything


I think it is okay if even if you don't win anything it's the exposure, that counts


uh which uh period was that


wow so, were you prepared, as in your attire your, dressing, were you prepared for the winter


I see I haven't been to any countries during winter, I would love to see the snow someday


uh and build a snowman, I see


uh I have been to, Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, I love the scenery


you can, go there for cafe hopping, they have some really good cafes there, I think so, it's the cafe culture there is very strong


they have they have cafes, in very


deserted place, so they can, uh accessible by public transport, but it's not like Singapore you have a shop, a tiny shop, for the cafes


so that cafes they can decorate it, like a garden, so they have uh, yes the the entire


the entire compound is belongs to the cafe
