your your whatever JD inside the the thing inside the the excel file, and then you meet up, and then go through I think edmund will go through with you on tuesday ah


eh your voice I cannot hear, oh ya I thought you they they reply already I don't want to reply them


wait ah let me look through the email already okay they say hi Qayyum, uh few queries, they uh they say they will inform the security team ah they say how many units of aircon will eden be installing please mark out from the plan attach

please provide us electrical single line drawing for the newly install aircon K this one ah once it's once it is completed then we have we can have the single line, for security clearance kindly furnish us the details of your contractors name of company worker name list and contact so you ask steve for this ah


uh you just say that you'll be on-site lah you'll be on-site on the first day when the boom lift come then after that you'll be you'll be coming back on next week on monday, so thursday friday there will be no one on-site lah but they will just do the trunking and all that lah itu je ah that's all


because I need to do a lot of things eh maybe you need to help me assist you must call steve and liaise with steve for everything ah, ya so that one is mainly for that one ah , uh the for anything else or not for that site for project project is more more or less that one just the aircon so the installation of the aircon will be on


after christmas eh if I'm not wrong did you tell him after christmas, after eh the installation I think will will finish within three four days I think wednesday thursday friday saturday maybe, then after that the aircon one very fast ah the FCU aircon connection is very fast ah maybe one or two days can maybe one day can finish ah


so that one I think during the christmas week ah, ah ya timbre's chair over there lah enough already lah aircon, need to shift okay you need people to shift not when we go on tuesday your stuff over there I mean or whatever then I can bring Faizah Fairul


what's the problem with the two metal cabinet, no lah it's the same you just tell them use don't don't don't ask them to make noise just use , it's the same the difference is not much just use say you don't have extra


it's that much of small space ah there's nothing much they can do these people ah don't give them face, staff room staff room punya staff room arrangement, uh, everyone shifted to their new place already right


that's why lah, okay then on tuesday lah on tuesday we go back and take a look so okay lah you you manage lah


ya I think more or less okay for work ah for work is okay already so Qayyum how's your wedding I want to know about your wedding , how's the preparation tell me your preparation of your wedding


oh the the dulang gift is it, uh but you already roughly know how many dulang you all need or not


you can put uh Al-Quran inside you can put sejadah and all that so that one is considered one dulang you know you save one dulang already


okay okay then, the itinerary how, today plan again ah later, ah okay okay eh wait ah it's next month ah it's very fast you know I realise it is about one month one month two weeks already you know


then you if once uh apa once, the leave newly system is up ah not this system ah the they updated to two thousand nineteen I think you better quickly apply your leave for your wedding leave already, uh how many wedding date wedding leave you have ah two days ah


, you check with alfred two or three days I cannot remember ah, ya apply then then you must let me know in advance know because this day ah I might need to send Fairul over to cover


because uh I cannot go to #ang mo kio# during january period got a lot things going on, , ya so must must maybe get because got Suhaila already like K Suhaila ah okay Suhaila job scope we need to discuss with edmund


uh, because she when she come in right is still like don't have mentor uh #ling xin# haven't come in so we put the and ya #ling xin# will be in charge of Suhaila, so we will get


ah pass back to Suhaila we put this as Suhaila'S job, ah FAS money so you don't need to bother the ah, obviously she have to sit at the reception what


I don't know ah missus Lai instruction is to sit in the reception she want she go talk to then what's the point of, that's why I don't talk to missus Lai, no no what you can what you can do is you and Suhaila work together for FAS money


ah you all rotate if you think that you want to rotate you rotate if you want this to become her job, then put it I think you should put this to her job why because this is got nothing to do with ops, and it's suppose to be social worker so let Suhaila do this so when #ling xin# come back #ling xin# will get angry #ling xin# will whack the social worker side


ya so just throw back to lah Suhaila so just tell her how to do it lah she can put it in the staff room, she will be at the reception the whole day she will still need to go up so before the lunch time she can go up take the money then go down and then give out the money ah, unless unless you can come out with a solution


to avoid this FAS money but pathlight don't have the card system like ours if they got the card system it's easy , so ya I think this one we need to discuss we need to streamline uh the admin job scope ah then whatever things that you're doing that is admin work ah must push back to the admin know not you know


like what #kai xuan# did last time but #kai xuan# got give FAS money or not last time, ah that's the time last time but #kai xuan# was the one right who was doing passing the money right, because there's no admin there that's why it will become your it became ops job


so when Suhaila come ah I think if she become it should be her problem already, uh what else need to streamline over there ah you must must list down let us know you know, ya must must really streamline lah uh then


(ppb), oh ya talking about your itinerary just now on your wedding [kan] the the the date is twenty seven eh twenty six, wait let me check the calendar so it's only sunday right I need to know don't need lah


K twenty seven january on a sunday so you're applying leave when twenty eight twenty nine thirty !huh!, ah this one important you most probably you will need to take twenty four twenty five also what thursday friday


maybe you take thursday friday then saturday sunday then your wedding leave one twenty eight twenty nine I don't know maybe the whole week up to you lah you want to settle down or what, but but your but Fidah Fidah won't be taking long leave right she still got class right


she cannot take leave right, that means ah monday she go back to work ah, no you all will get married on sunday mah, then on the monday twenty eight she's going back to work or she's on leave


okay lah then you plan with her and then you let me know your leave date lah then I, then can then we can do planning what ya can ah can ah I think more or less okay lah for the for the leave planning just need to confirm first, , because right the first week of january I need to go uh MKPL for the DFS meeting I think if I'm not wrong on the


on the nine nine of january or eight of january I forget ah seven seven january, got a lot of things in january period ah ya, eh Qayyum you tell me a story ah I tired, tell me a story


tell me a story on Qayyu~ eh on Bagus Faizul the latest recent meeting that you meet with them


you still have a card, okay what, snacks ah


list of snack ah !wah! I like to buy this pizza (ppc) at this stall one I remember it's a self made pizza they use bread is very nice , then they have their own uh like uh chicken chop in a plastic it's very unique one ah but that one is all primary school time ah


uh it's very cheap very cheap it's very quite cheap ah ya, some more


one lesson to singaporean student ah , like I it will be the same answer that I've been giving ah, to teach all this student now right I will teach them about the potential future prospect for them like


what they wanna be in the future and what's the proper, uh proper way or proper, uh proper path proper route to reach that direction because like our time we don't have proper guidance nobody tell us that this route goes here this route goes there you know, everybody say all the same all the same but actually it's not so I will educate all these these are the things that I would tell the like I always keep on telling my brother


my younger brother you want go poly this is your road you want to go take A-level this is your road but you want to study what this is your road in the future the current like especially now, all the logistic company ah all retrenching people why it's because of e-commerce,


ya because of e-commerce logistic company ah all all very online they don't need a lot of manpower already , not like last time so my brother is studying logistic, so I'm telling him if you want to study logistic this is your path do you want to go to this path


this path means very hard for you to find a job a lot retrenchment then not stable a lot of things lah so she will he will decide from there lah that point of time lah so, I think he also take he take business HR or something like that so like HR will never die why because every country need every company need HR


every unless those small small company ah where the owner themselves hire ah that one's a different thing lah but that one , that one is a ya totally different thing lah but like every company like every building need need a building uh specialist like us what


you tell me which building don't need uh facilities people, even hotel also have eh even, even hotels school, you look at MOE school even MOE school also have


okay, Qayyum your voice blur


not gonna happen lah (ppc) a robot can never , uh do do facilities one to repair work they can but to be the one checking they cannot you still need a human touch, our our technology also is not up to that level yet that they can do that that they can totally replace human being cannot one you still need a human being to on all the robot what


singlish


okay lor, ya ya no choice lor people have to do do lor okay lor that's why so then think that's it ya the lor, ya how many how many more notes you have ah


[orh] are we uh finishing nevermind you use your card lah just use, what am I most afraid human being I'm more afraid of human being than ghost


cockroach is nothing lah but (ppc) human beings are the more are the most evil, most sinister than any ghost or any cockroach human being can hurt you can kill you eh, ya so it's actually extreme ends ah human being


, really you work with dead body or ghost they cannot they cannot really harm you you see, you work with human ah human can harm you you we just don't know when it will happen or how it's gonna happen humans are dangerous, then you got all the other countries you see no war want to start war


you see, so ya, uh this is uh technology lor


it's mainly technology technology last time and now is so much far apart ah so technology is the biggest different in the generation gap, ya so I can tell you in our in the future we and our kids we will also have the technology generation gap


they might have something so advance that we like eh how to use it then we don't know ah we'll be like oh so troublesome we stick to our old technology you see, ya so it's gonna be like there's gonna be a repetitive uh occurrence


okay next question ah, last year ah


any event last year that stun me uh last year that, when they wanted to hire the senior executive, !wah! that one stun me no that one wasn't last year that one was before Fairul join


ya that was about slightly last late last last year almost there lah, so that was that was they went to hire a senior executive without telling me and then the person, they want to recommend is someone from gathri which I don't even know exist and his experience is so much lesser than mine


they show me the resume eh is this guy good to be a senior executive I went like what, I say you kidding me this guy then they were like ah why ah uh I don't even know this person exist and I'm there for six six seven years I don't even see this guy, and insult me they basically is someone new and you want to put him as senior go ahead I tell them


so I walk away from the room ah then missus Lai come and find me and say what happen actually no lah they're not trying to hire finish ah then after they cancel that position online, ya because I go against it the thing about edmund


he don't go against it if he go against it they might just scrape off the #ling xin# part, he doesn't want to go against it he just like okay for me I go against it if I'm not happy so that's why one thing eden screw up you must know how to go against thing that you feel that is not fair, because missus Lai is afraid


, missus Lai will look tough and you think that she's, the the toughest but actually she's very scared she scared people will leave her like people that she know can work will leave her she scared so when you not happy go to her and say missus Lai I'm not happy because why, why is it like that why is it like that like like one day if you cannot take it why is valentine like that ah why is she trying to act very powerful ah who is she ah


I'm not reporting to her you can do that to missus Lai she'll be like I will talk to her I'll talk to her, ya missus Lai is that kind of person you must be reasonable with her you you talk to her reasonably she will talk to you reasonably


oh I you know when I talk to her about the senior executive position right, my tone was very harsh and my voice was very loud because we talk at the foyer people in the toilet can hear my voice, Fairul was Fairul was the cleaner that time Fairul heard me talking to missus Lai outside AS


in that kind of tone and until missus Lai eh okay okay okay but like like you know like okay relax relax that kind of thing you know she do that you know say okay everybody relax , then I ask her why do you want to hire senior exec you tell me I'm not uh I'm not good enough is it, then if wanna hire also make sure you hire someone ten years more experience than me not five years experience what what what it doesn't make sense then she like uh


then I ask what's the job scope of this senior exec cannot answer oh campus two what campus two you talking about campus two got project manager what, then she like oh okay okay can we don't know nobody tell us then I say exactly your edmund should go and tell you edmund don't know anything that's what I said , that's the thing she depends on people to tell her but edmund he don't know anything he like to act like he know things but actually he don't know


, so he's actually one of the the cause of problem in school he pretend that he know things but no, and he doesn't like to reject things or fight for things she will just like he will like oh okay okay then suck it up then like then the one doing is us not him, , that's one that's why I say his working attitude is no good


oh got got one lah which I did, uh one of the conversation was about that time when grab uber came out so they were talking about they losing customer but, uh but you know they just feel that uh it's not fair that one was the starting period lah at that point of time lah


so they said they were losing money not much customer people all grab people all uber then they have to wait for hailing then, so (ppc) but they adapt to it lah but the advantage that they have , if they if they ride down with grab or uber in that point of time they have three option grab uber and they can still get people from taxi stop


people can still hail them but this grab driver they cannot, they cannot stop when people hail for them so I tell them that's your benefit , as a taxi driver that's your benefit then you should enroll yourself in this grab and uber not make noise and complain so he actually agree lah


(ppc) then after I didn't take cab anymore , except when my car broke down ah, so how many cards you still have left, , okay use that card lah use that card


the teacher, ah my, my maths teacher my maths teacher make a difference in my life uh silently, from us hating maths because of her


I'm good at maths because of her I get interested in maths and, I got A one for my maths for my O-level, because of her if it's not because of her I don't think I can score for my maths cause the way she do her maths lesson is interesting eh she make competition, I'm a very competitive person so she make competition like like she give a solution uh she give a question then she say okay in three two one


you she'll group you up in class you know secondary school then she will say okay in after the time uh whichever team, can answer correctly will get a reward or something every lesson she will do that, she she make ya that that's how people bother to use their brain to learn and to think you know if not people like ah can't be bothered


so because of that ah it's very competitive ah it makes my brain works know so because of that I'm very good in maths, she don't know that she's doing she's helping everyone us like that ah nobody came to her and say oh because of you I don't know lah but she, she won't know one so it's a silence, ya only her only


, that makes a impact ah other than all typical lah, !wah! Qayyum we only left with about thirty minutes only you know, almost there almost there


Teh O ice Kosong, I like tea without sugar, and ice lah, tea without sugar ah no I don't like don't like to drink sweet stuff ah, eh this drink expired or not ah you got drink in front of you or not


you got a bottle of water in front of you or not, is it expired I also have one they put one, they say expiry see packaging below, where's the packaging that means is the box ah oh there I found it twenty twenty can drink


my throat's getting dry ah Qayyum are you are suppose to tell me a story, K continue continue


that one ah, how do I know ah when she sacrifice things for you when she do things for you ah you feel when you know that you cannot, uh you know at times when you know that you cannot give her what she want you feel deep you feel bad damn shitty ah


like you you know this is the only extent you can do for your love one then, if you are willing to go to that extent right you know that you love her but when you know that you cannot give her what she want ah you feel shitty mean shows that you really love her a lot


, cause if you don't you don't give a shit you don't even care, K next


what, why do I always splat on, I don't understand that question


S P R U T E sprute


if I could turn back time ah actually there's there's a lot of time I can turn back ah but, but, maybe, uh !wah!, a lot of things in life ah you cannot even think one of it ah there's too many things in life that you wanna turn back but I learned to accept it


because the present now is, is better compared to the past lah, ya okay like I said the past defines who you are now, K next question


what stress or destress me ah okay, what what special, what stress me or destress me, your voice drop ah okay uh what stresses me out if uh


, if things doesn't go my way, like for work lah like timeline and all that like, uh when people promise to do this but then never do it then it will stress me out to think of alternated alternate solution and all that lah


ya and uh, ya I think mostly is that lah but mainly stress I think money can also be a very good stress factor for everyone, destressing is playing game ah because when I play game I concentrate on the game my brain cannot


cannot divert cannot think of other thing one thing about playing game ah you cannot think of other things you know, you must concentrate on the game ah so your brain ah, all the things that stresses you out ah you don't think about it because you have to think of the game that's why playing game is actually a a good destressing method you should try ah Qayyum


ya I think Fairul also playing game is one of the way to destress, , you should try lah you should try play the games that we play not the games that you think people are playing outside you should know you must know how to differentiate


K next question, I think the girls are like having fun outside they are not like they are not they are not they are not they are not even struggling


imagine if this one is your if you imagine you're talking to your girlfriend now like this ah , I tell you that will be the longest conversation you had with her before you get married, , have you ever talk to her for two hours or not


when I'm dating my wife ah last time I can talk to her everyday for two three hours you know, !wah! I think I think I should just put you and your fiance here so you all have the first two hours conversation non-stop


after that after coming up from there then you will not talk to your to fiance for the whole day, , two hours of non-stop conversation is a lot for you you know Qayyum


but two hours is is a lot ah but if it's a group ah it's okay you know but two person ah !wah! even though it's a no-brainer it's still tiring eh, K your next question eh


everything will work out somehow, everything will work out somehow, everything will work out somehow means everything will work out somehow


that that means you have a problem okay you can K example you have a problem how you gonna solve, one day somehow some time the problem sure be solve one so it will work out somehow you know so my motto is that one lah everything, it will work out somehow lah you no need to worry be it good or bad it will work out you know it will work out anyway


, so that's my motto, !alah!, that's my motto lah if any problem it will work out somehow if there's any issue if you got money or whatever everything will work out somehow so , that's my motto lah so it means like don't worry it it will it will be it will it well end you know that kind of thing it will it's not like it's never gonna end


next question, !wah! I hate washing the dishes but I hate cleaning the toilet but sometime when I'm in in my cleaning mode ah


when I'm in my cleaning mode I'll be very strict very cleaning very thorough so to be in the cleaning mode very hard one, must activate the cleaning mode button, uh there's a on off button once the button is on ah I will clean every single thing


so I'm not as passion as Fairul ah Fairul like cleaning, ya now I'm doing ya all the all the house work ah she's pregnant what so she can't do much


eh why not ah your new house when you get the key you need to clean go you go and pay Fairul to do it he that time offer want to want to polish my floor but I say I don't want, ya he likes cleaning, no need he say there's other ways of doing uh without just learn ah use cloth and the polish and do it


very no lah he he won't charge one I tell you but I suggest if you want him to help you because when you get your key when you put your house your house is gonna be very dusty, you need to wipe everything ah you ask him lah then you pay him lah


he will clean for you but I but I can tell you he don't want to take money one, he wants to help but I tell you this one this kind of thing must pay ah it's not nice lah, ya, he likes cleaning lah I think should should let him clean ah later people say !wah! Qayyum bully Fairul sia


that time that time I clean myself is it

my picture uh got, got this uh old aunty uh like using the the clippers to clip the bushes ah the the flowers and the bushes


what about yours


I I have like a man, a man standing up and then uh like using his finger to point at somebody like a gun and saying I'm going to shoot, then there's another another boy like standing up like trying to surrender like that


ya ya ya that one that one


ya ya I also have that one I also have that one but like uh each have two bowls, oh each has two plates of carrots right on their on their plate, ya ya maybe they are eating ah or they they they don't want to eat lah they they see see already very Sian


ya, maybe it's a Kampung or or maybe it's it's just random things, then there's a hats and pins thing called buy the perfect gift for mother's day


[orh] ya so


yes I have the one with the seesaw and the children


ya there's two haystacks, okay, ah then, I also got a tractor and a shop with uh honeybees with two honeys honeybees on the on the house


ya, ya, no actually it was cancelled already


because because I think the teacher is not in today like like today I think he, he never come uh then he say like next week and next week he's going to resume then it will be for four more three more lessons I think


because I was very bored I was unemployed for very long nothing much to do then then some more it's like


I would say it's not that long not that short about, you know when you when you just graduate like I finish my exam on twenty seven november I think that was the last one, then after that ah after that I think there's nothing much to do at home just just eat lah sleep lah play computer games ah


ya, maybe I I I want to improve my oil painting skill because last time I took uh oil painting lesson for creative mindset


then after that I become expert uh I think I become an expert or something not really expert, but actually actually by right they say that my painting can sell then after, as as in because uh I was a beneficiary of uh singapore association of mental health what so there was this uh


thing where you get to uh where where you can actually can, somehow I got referred to the art people there then after that they say that uh they can teach me some oil painting thing, but the painting cannot bring back then they leave there and then and then they sell to the public lah then they say uh


forty percent of the proceeds go to them sixty of the percent of the profits go to me, so uh so like like recently one of the paintings sold lah not too long ago so I get some money but now this program stop already, so now now I'm looking to enhance my oil painting skills so hopefully after attending the lesson at the CC hopefully


I can I can like start selling lah if my skills improve, ya that's true but I think it's also because I have like a foundation already so I thought I thought can just build on it lah like


for example I know how to paint uh mountains I know how to paint trees maybe a bit of trees maybe rocks , maybe some like like rivers and all that but there's some things that I don't know how to paint also lah, for example I I don't know how to paint like uh bushes or maybe flowers for example


ya so I also don't know how to paint river like like you know those like waterfall or the river flowing downstream that kind, I think I I kind of enjoy it but during the first lesson I was quite angry because the


instructor uh taught us in a very different way like I thought he he would uh taught us teach us the, the normal way which is like what I used to do like like the like the mountains are all straight straight straight one then after that the


after that the sky is like flowy flowy because there's like clouds and winds but , but but then it but then he turns out that he taught us the criss cross criss cross one, like criss cross the first layer then you criss cross another second layer of a different colour paint


ya, ya


ya ya, I I think it also depends on your instructor lah last time I don't have any talent for art then it's it's like I I I just


ya kind of because like last time last time I was in secondary or primary school then it's like it's like I I didn't seem to have interest in, art lah like like maybe the teachers were not very effective but but somehow this one like they teach until very easy to understand lah


so like I started oil painting then I then I think !hey! actually I can improve on this ah, today I think ten ten something lah


no I think it depends lah because for my brother he's going to army so he wake up like around six or seven AM, then after that after that uh my mother my mother she has to like I think call the shuttle bus or something lah because there's a


there's a bus to fetch him to to his camp like his army camp I think it's in Kranji lah, because for me I got nothing to do what I mean I mean if I'm woken up by him lah because he's so noisy, otherwise otherwise I will just sleep in ah then as for my mother she's staying at home so


so depends on whether she need to wake my father up ah or but my father usually he just wake up on his own, like seven AM six AM then he goes to work at like eight AM lah, ya


ya, I I mean I mean it's a bit uh I'm a bit skeptical lah because because like like , there's the first company that I found at first I interview with them then it was very good


they they offered to pay me this pay then they say that uh they had other candidates and stuff like that so I went for a second interview second interview it was a very short one, so uh after that after that , it it it was okay lah after that I I mean I mean she she was like


uh she give she ask me some questions then she dismiss me lah but but it's it's it's like not not, not not but she was still very nice lah she was smiling and everything so it was like not too uh, not too like stern or not too strict kind of interviewer lah


actually actually I think it's kind of true like I applied for the guest relations position like online on JobStreet then I found that actually ah some jobs ah, uh like one hundred people apply leh like really leh got two hundred over applicants eh


ya, actually I I find that, find that it might be possible that they come up from those companies lah, but also maybe maybe if they're from private uni maybe they had like a diploma in like related field lah


maybe lah but it also depends on whether you want to go into that field like for example I was from accountancy and I really don't like that diploma lah, then then what what's worse is like like like I actually keep failing my subjects then some more I retain retain one I


I retain one semester because I I uh had to take up the module investment then I want to drop it so next semester I take a different module


ya, actually I I had a I had a ambition lah of like going to, study overseas like study computer science maybe study study law lah then after that uh


after that like go overseas to UK and work lah then after that my parents say uh die die must choose poly or JC lah, ya because uh


ya but the thing is my mother was like saying oh uh uh this one will be very difficult for you lah later you cannot cope later you cannot pass how, then also also there's like some poly diploma I want to take right it's like perfumery like and uh uh make #bak kwa# all those ah


uh uh ya ya make like curly #bak kwa# that was food science ah like uh perfumery science


difficult lah


the thing is I didn't really have much of a say in it because because I I I want to all the courses are all like so called impractical lah to her, then it's like I I want to take like game and development I want to take uh like baking baking science maybe in like poly then after that


she all don't allow say say uh uh maybe you should take uh something like uh dentistry lah biomedical lah accountancy lah, so I'm like !aiya! !aiya! I don't want to go poly I I also like think like JC very Sian I want to go oversea and study then they don't allow lah


then after that in the end in the end my mother say ah go accountancy then after that after that I go accountancy then I Sian ah !aiya! whatever lah then, then the the then then she force me to put like all accountancy leh like Ngee-Ann poly accountancy Nanyang poly accountancy, uh SP accountancy so that if I can't get one I will get the next one leh then all the rest are like all the mass comm and my other choice eh


(ppb) yes


true lah because because the thing is when I was young I was a very slow student, is is like is like there's one point in time like she hired a tuition teacher lah for sec one then, I I think I think the tuition teacher give up on teaching me lah because my grades kept declining lah at first it was eighty then after that it become seventy five lah


then also like also like uh when I was primary school I wasn't very fast at learning or like grasping the new concept lah taught by the teacher lah


ya, !aiya! but but the thing is is it all started when I was very young leh like like when I was very young like like, there's one time in division lah the teacher taught division I think a few times


to the whole class then after that I got home uh I learn nothing then after that she had to teach me from scratch that kind lah


ya, yes yes


I I think it's because you found your niche ah because because like for me I think I'm better in writing than in communications that's why I'm like doing much better now lah


ya ya ya legit legit, actually just now I wanted to tell you when we were walking here, not


not actually it's not just my error lah because I realised that my error is only small part


ya ya ya, uh the financial breakdown


but actually but actually I highlighted to the team that like like you should include tables and graph and all that then can save on word count, then like nobody wanted to include, ya, then then Nina herself she say she don't know how to do the financial breakdown and the feasibility all that


so I say how about this I include a financial table then then I I include already she remove leh I include like the staff pay uh for normal day like how much would cost, to to for the material or the flyer or all those, then then it's like she only want to put one section of course cannot lah like the other team they put one whole table of costings and all that leh


ya ya I know, ya but what !huh!, what's your GPA now ah


!walao! !walao! !wal~! seriously like seriously three point seven eh, you no I thought I thought you are saying bad ah I expect like three point zero leh now it's like legit like three point three five leh overall ah


but this semester is like three point three point five something lah three point five three lah uh but of course haven't add in miss Dipa, ya uh I mean for this semester alone for the


uh no no you didn't, A minus


ya ya but you you have the I mean like like your core GPA and you have taken like a lot of modules, so it will like kind of maintain it there at most it might drop by zero point one lah


I think that's good enough leh because like like my my GPA ah has has always hovered around three and above lah, so whenever whenever uh I take this module ah bad ah then after that ah my other modules already beef it out a lot so


so it it didn't affect it that much ah and, ya ya


ya ya it wouldn't drag it down too much you can actually use like a calculator or something UBC GPA, ya


taking piano as usual lor, ya


ya, yes yes I do


I I mean I mean like uh I have to keep myself occupied and also another thing right is I actually like, last time I play Town of Salem the one that I told you about with the coven and mafia and all that then, ya ya you get hang and then all those ya


ya ya ya, I I'm I like like last time I say it's not very brutal lah like I mean they just have the hanging animation but it's not like very bloody or what like, like all those first person shooter lah it's just like like somebody getting hanged and animation lah cartoon lah


then I also play RuneScape lah now now RuneScape ah got a player own farm, where you can grow your own uh rabbit your own duck your your own chicken your own your own cow and all that then after that can sell it, then after that can grow a lot babies one leh


ya ya like baby chicken lah all those like, uh baby baby uh baby baby let's say baby bunny lah because you breed them together, ya


I I don't know leh like sometimes I can take a a break of uh like three weeks lah uh three months, then after that after that like suddenly like once I get back into it like I can play for hours each day leh like three to four hours


it's okay lah I don't think they care about your pronunciation, ya actually kind of lah it's like it's like sometimes like I can be like hyper focus like, like whenever whatever I do something like I can be like very focus like for example piano I want to play my heart will go on


then I keep trying to think like how to play how to play or like the game like like, you know I want to I want to finish this quest uh I want to fight this monster and I want the monster to die


no no no no no no it's like when when I when I I'm usually like like very oh like I try this I try that, but once I start on like playing the piano I can get addicted to the piano like once I start playing game I can like get addicted like I want to kill that monster then that monster won't die


then I'll like spend hours on trying to do it, ya ya, but


but I I think that sometimes I can't stop leh sometimes it's like I play three hours I maybe go to sleep like one hour later I'll on and then and then play for another three hours lah, ya


ya, sometimes lah depends on what kind of videos lah


ya, ya


but it also depends lah like like like if the youtuber has like very good content and then I will, watch all of his or hers video like and the clickbait and all that but let's say if the youtuber's like content is very boring, or is like some kind of documentary or like I don't find any interesting thing to watch then I will just switch off lah it's just like the game sometimes like like I can play for days and days like the same game


like Town of Salem I'm trying I'm starting to find it boring lah, because I already play play until the game is like nothing much to play like like so call broken lah, as as in as when you explore all the parts of the game then you find it like no longer fun anymore lah


ya ya ya, ya ya


ya, same like RuneScape lah, like like RuneScape last time ah I was free to play then there was like like a few cities lah called for example there's one called Falador there's one called Lumbridge, or there's one call like maybe port Sarim lah then then like free to play only got like that five things to


maybe like let's say that five quests to do that five worlds to do then it's like every all the world I explore already all the monsters I fight already or, like most of quest I already do then I already like feel very bored lah, ya


ya, yes yes yes, downcast lah and downtrodden


yes yes yes I get it I get it it's a form of escapism


ya, yes yes I agree, ya


so I think games have its place lah I mean like there's a lot of people in america like addicted to video games a lot of them play and then they buy the membership and all that, then like like some of them maybe they might be homeless or


living in their like mother's basement or something


I I mean like as a as a example lah because I know some internet friends lah, who are like very poor lah living in america lah then they might not have a job or might be unemployed then they might be living on SSI lah or disability benefits lah


but but they will always like play RuneScape lah then the then every month they buy the membership and then play play play, ya, it's it's just it's just like I got one I got one friend ah uh his both parents die ah then he live live in


live himself lah with with another person lah then he he very poor but he always buy cigarette to smoke one eh


ya quite a lot actually, I'm not sure


ya I think it's also quite common lah quite common for for people to smoke lah because it's seen as socially acceptable also what


ya also also because their their friend say let's smoke then you smoke then you're addicted to smoking lah not


uh I think, I think sometimes it's also also like, like but if it's really being force ah then after the first round maybe he'll he or she will stop lah I also think that that maybe maybe because like like, maybe they try once then they got addicted but I don't think they are like severely addicted until they cannot stop if they are severely addicted


if they are severely addicted I think they they will be like they will be like going to call the hotline and then say I want to stop, ~ng right I think some of them it's still manageable like smoking one pack a day so they just !aiya! like I'm I'm just smoking for fun lah


ya, ya ya


ya it's true


lunch and dinner every saturday and sunday lah when I don't go out with friends lah because, because right if I go out with friends right last time that I had a friend, uh from my ex-social circle lah who like cafe hopping a lot then like one one meal one truffle fry can cost like ten dollar one carbonara


sixteen then after that like like go for like don't know some kind of like, like uh anime event or or whatever event ah sometimes can really spend a lot of money one, ya ya so that's that's why uh like after that sing karaoke maybe twenty dollars gone already by the end of day like no money left


so like like like when I'm not going out with my friends I try to save money lah by eating with my parents lah, it's


uh also is voluntarily lah in the sense uh, I don't know because sometimes I can ask my father to go to like a restaurant or like like go go somewhere like posh to eat then I don't have to pay what, then then some more some more some more my father like like he she does she give my mother a set allowance then after that


after that she is expected to pay for like stuff lah like pay for day meals lah weekday and all that, so she give me some pocket money lah so of of course I will like to maximise that pocket money what, that's why last time I go to school uh I I used to have the habit of taking like Grab lah


and and all those ah so I want to save money on my meal, ya they are lah otherwise very hard to survive lah


like two hundredish


I I think it differs from people to people lah because because ah when I told my other friend she said that's like only the pay of a toilet cleaner leh


!oops!, ya, but the thing is I used to take like Grab uh from school lah because like like like during school like like I feel like there's a lot of like


~gemental stare a lot of so like like I take Grab to get away from it lah, no but but you it's not it's not about the MRT people looking at me it's like you feel very drain from all the negativity in school like all the ostracism


then I'm like just want to get back home and then like like hide in your in in your own hermit or something


ya you told me


I I I feel if it's okay if if if they're welcoming and nice it's okay lah but uh I


for me it's, for me it's more more like more like you know everybody has their group everybody have their big groups then they're talking so loudly, then it's it's like you're no you're have no group then you just standing there then it's like they're judging you like or they are talking bad about you then it's like very


uh very awkward lah then it's like at least if the teacher group us into groups I think I think uh at least everybody has a group so it's like not so awkward lah for me lah


ya, ya


I I I just know there's uh jovan and then there's melody there's like claire like last time from my batch they used to hang out together a lot


I think it's also a comms thing lah like like they say some comms or business student they tend to be more like high and mighty


wait I cause because there's a lot of those kind of influencer girls who dress very nicely then who who has a lot of followers that kind of girl, I think it's like similar concept lah it's like like it's like in every school there's like the queen bee right like


like in american high school like there's a queen bee and then and then like like she thinks like she's all that just like mean girls, I I think even in secondary school also got like that lah primary school also


ya because because there's, especially especially I think JC there's a prom king prom queen right and then NUS NTU there's there's this kind of like king and queen, then after that oh everybody in the hall have to vote for them


no like everybody has to vote for you because I remember there's there's uh like like one of my ex classmate lah he got into NTU lah, I think or NUS lah then after that like suddenly I saw him like like uh posing by a staircase like wear nice nice


uh then then it's like it's like ask uh please vote for this person lah like like his NUS prom king or like, like some hall like NUS this hall prom king or prom queen that kind


I think recognition lah even like UB right even UB SIM right they have they have this like annual dinner and dance right like


ya lah those with friends lah those like the lecturers go then the friends go then they just mingle, then you know there's also the prom king and prom queen thing leh like they will crown the people ya


ya there is lah, ya those those with those those with like let's say those with friends then those who like to dress up like to socialise at the event, like to meet the ex-professors and take some cool selfie


very judgemental


ya ya, ya


but I but I think I think like in general everything is expensive what like everything need to pay money like the school fees the textbooks, like like even you need to pay money to print the notes need to pay money to print the report


doctor rina ah


for me I tried to photocopy but it's very painstaking you know like like like like the problem with the textbook you can only loan for four hours then if want to bring it out of the school, easily I can go to causeway-point ask them to photocopy, yes but you have to do it yourself and it's very tedious you know


ya ya true ah, actually uh is talking about this like like I don't know I don't know whether is under like one of the four rules that are ban leh


because like you are comparing government and private uni, ya ya, ya ya hopefully hopefully, okay


ya, ya okay okay fair enough


nevermind lah I I I think it will be okay lah


actually uh if I cannot still cannot find a job lah then, then I will go and find a uh holiday to go to lah like let's say let's say in december I Iuh the job that I apply for didn't materialise lah, like nobody get back lah then then maybe uh early january I'm going on holiday lah


then uh seeing what kind of job I can take up lah, I've, only the poly one and it was accountancy related, because it was compulsory and you can only do it like related to your line


you can chose to find your own internships and get it endorsed by the school or the teacher or, or like you can choose even overseas one lah or you can like go and then like go on the system and ballot lah that time I that time I very Sian what because accountancy I don't like


so like like I don't I I feel very Sian then after that they just choose a internship for me lor


they brief me on the details say how much is the pay like how are you suppose to get there then like like they assign a teacher to liaise with the company also lah


ya, six hundred per uh per month lah, per month per month


ya because internship it's like that one they take it as a training ground for for you to be trained


I think it's unlikely leh but but but but


but, but they are assuming that maybe maybe your parents pay for your school fees or you got like some government bond or you got some government grant


that's that's why a lot of people when they when they go into poly uh some some of them they have to half work and half study to support their expenses, that's where that comes in lah


I don't know lah but I I think I think I I think, there's there's this girl who who did the project with me then say she was working then a lot of times she couldn't come to advertising class lah that one who, faith lah faith lah she was like someone who who was who knew my ex-social circle lah so uh I also find a bit dubious lah


but whatever lah now is over already


I I thought I thought those who half work half study one is usually taking less modules, because those those who those who take so many modules and half work while half study is like really superman lor


I mean uh I mean sometimes like let's say if Starbucks is near to your class then after that you can just like work a few hours then go to your class lah if your class has a gap, otherwise like weekends like sometimes they hire banquet then you can like just join lah then study on the weekdays lah or something lah


ya but maybe some of them are like just energy bunnies lah, like like some of them some of them like they don't need they don't need time to themselves like


it's like everyday either they they work or they study or they go out with friends one, ya


true lah I think it also depends on your groupmate leh because like some groupmates do a lot of work some do less work, like like for example for some modules right I feel like I have to tank majority of it leh because, like like like the person is no idea what of going what is going on or it's it's or it's like that girl


in advertising ah who is part of my ex-social circle lah she MIA so many times then most of the things I have to do so, so it also depends lah maybe they take four modules but their group members they like they have five people like for example linguistics I only got two people eh, then after that after that like morgana is like not so clear about what what to do lah so


I do more of the work lah so of of course in that situation cannot lah but let's say you have five or six members in linguistics then like one can easily like, just uh do a part time job and then like maybe write an intro then the rest do the like results and analysis


but the thing you got paired up with her because because like your group got got like like pair up with her right


wait ah wait ah I accidentally kick something ah I ask them ah, like like like I mean I mean it's like like there's a there's a red colour box right I accidentally kick it leh


uh focus right, it's like like the very big red colour box then it's connected to like the microphone or something, I uh I think I scared Sekali the time wasted or how leh I better ask


then then later we talk for two hours we talk for nothing leh if if if anything bad happens


I I see like like like just now there was there was this thing blinking then was red then now it turns yellow, wait ah wait ah


hello, he he said just just uh continue lah don't care, ya, okay


ya, ya, ya


uh I think it's getting better !huh! I'm I'm not so sure I think he has, he has uh resetted the settings or something, and and and I think he came in and then told me to just continue lah


maybe maybe you just like , put down the phone first then you unlock the door then you go and ask him I, ~uess, like he's outside what he's outside


!huh! I feel like I'm badmouthing her lah actually, actually she's not a bad person she's quite okay but the thing but the thing is , like she she had no group lah then at then at first like we like we were reluctant to pair together also


but uh then then after that like like, like in the end we in the end the teacher pair us together lah then then after that I was just like, uh working with her then we were saying okay let's do this let's do this then after that


a few times she wasn't feeling well so so in the in the end I say nevermind I'll settle it so so basically the the thing is, is uh I say uh maybe you screenshot all your all your friends' social media post lah then you do results and analysis lah


so basically she helped out quite a bit in the result and analysis lah but the intro and lead review I, I do, I think we did okay lah, like like I I think the first one was B then B plus then A minus


, so yours yours it was it was the draft the in the first one was A is it


[orh] then the first one was B, [orh] I see


ya, ya she was a bitch lah, I don't know but but I I don't think it I don't think it's against right they say no religion no no politics and all those


ya ya


mine didn't even turn up for the class for advertising, ya, ya but also I think it has to got to do with my ex-social circle lah because she's part of my ex-social circle, and then she know those people lah so maybe she's also trying to make things difficult I will never be able to tell lah


ya it is


I I think it's very common eh even nursing ah I I thought like if you become a nurse lah then you, you will go inside and then like make a lot doctor and nurse friends but like I got to know a nurse then he he he said that actually there's a lot of politics one


then actually like I think there's like like some people complaining that nursing got a lot of politics and all that, so like like then even office also got a lot of politics what my mum always like to say that


okay wait ah wait ah


ya ya can, okay lah actually I thought that this semester can get like a dean's list because five subjects


five subjects and three point six GPA can nah about but because uh advertising I got B then like miss Dipa one I don't think it will be good, as for nutrition uh one O nine I think B plus only so like, like I I think no hope already lah I don't care lah anyway anyway get good also good grades also no use I think it's more of portfolio lah


I uh uh I also think that grades might not entirely matter like you might not need to get like a very high GPA, but also cannot be too low lah otherwise it shows that you have no aptitude in the subject, and also and also maybe maybe you build your portfolio I think I think like a degree like in communications is like just a stepping stone to jobs in communications


like last time I had a diploma in accountancy when I apply for copywriting internship I copywriting jobs all these like like related to comms one ah, no nobody want to hire me even it's like marketing or something, because I diploma in accountancy what they think that !hey! uh uh you don't have any experience maybe you're not interested


then then like job hopping is also not very convincing like last time miss Dipa say like somebody wants wanted to be a chef ah apply for a, apply for a job where her firm or something uh want to become in communications then he say like I'm cool with a career switch but but


but the thing is like he has nothing to show for lah, so I also I also don't know how like people switch job effectively since like they might need to have like some qualification of some kind lah


yes I did, it was not bubble tea it it was just Chin-Chow, ya ya it was it was


ya but too late lah, uh a variety lah like I I take whatever that suits my fancy


for example like canned drinks I like Qoo ten I don't like the fizzy kind I like orange juice apple juice, whether the can I mean I mean not the can one the packet one or the the processed packet one or the or the fresh one


(mmhmm), uh I, yes I love it, juice ah


ya but the thing is fruits you have to bite into it and then and then sometimes the orange you have to peel the apple you have to peel, then juice is like you are just sucking the juice out, ya


ya ya, uh I like uh durian apple uh mango banana, pear I'm not so sure orange is okay lah but hate to peel


maybe the juice went into your eye is it, oh !oi! maybe there's some like a special oil on the on the orange peel itself then it got onto your


quite lah but what I hate the most, but what I really hate the most is like 7 Up all those fizzy one lah like Coca-Cola lah, I don't like


ya, from young lah


because like, because like you can drink that thing then you end up burping then sometimes will go up your nose like the Coca-Cola you can feel like you your nose wants to burp


some something like like like you know the air going up into your nose or or some weird kind of sensation it's very weird


I love Maggi Mee, now now ah I I still eat it lah whenever I'm feeling lazy lah, sometimes you know uh you know I I like to eat clean I like to eat healthy then sometimes I just feel like binging on unhealthy food


MSG lah, for me my mother sees it as emergency food lah like let's say you don't have any food to it then you eat it


true lah but my mum cooks lah or go out and eat lah otherwise I ask her to Dabao food for me lah


I think like, like actually it's almost everyday lah last time is like like everyday but now, now she cut down already usually weekends she don't cook then it's like five days a week because uh, because she say it's very tiring to cook


she does she does but but uh whenever my daddy come home lah otherwise if she if my daddy is not at home or she go out and eat then she won't cook lah


ya


ya, my home cooked food lah got my mother likes to cook like those boiled, soups ah like like those stew like uh pumpkin soup watercress soup


then the the old old melon soup lah I cannot say in chinese lah, ya old cucumber old cucumber


oh ya ya she she might fry a pomfret or she might steam a pomfret a grouper uh then then, now she bought the air fryer lah so if she is like very lazy maybe she fry a few chicken nuggets


uh like put luncheon meat and then like fry fry with uh the potato, but it's not that healthy lah


I think sometimes sometimes processed sometimes like the like the usual home cooked food lah sometimes like steam egg all those #cai fan# lah, all those uh Cai-Png, ya kind of lah


like Kang-Kong, ya but I think it's singlish so it's okay


ya same same


ya, weekends lor weekends lor


ya lah, so so so those people who work shift like nurses right like like they have very little time to spend with their family, so like for example last time I went out with this nurse lah so he he only when on his days off ah it could be a tuesday he could be sleeping to catch up on his sleep debt


or or like on a tuesday maybe he go out with friends that kind


true lah, ya


that, that that's why some people they they go on holidays they save up money like and then go on vacation or or they, or they like decide to take a leave like off day take MC they are sick what


ya, then then maybe like like some like they work for awhile their contract job finish then they cannot find job then meanwhile they they can relax what


then then I I suppose some of them rely on on the on the family lah like like, like like if your family do not don't support or you have no no family then then you have to rely on government financial assistance lah


ya there is except that except that a lot go to destitute homes lah, but let's say if you are you are homeless right and you are stranded in public right then


and sometimes like people might call the destitute hotline lah then might be referred to a destitute home lah


it's increasing lah for the for the degree holders lah but I don't know how high it is lah but the overall still seems quite low lah


maybe maybe they are underemployed or or their their parents their parents give them money lah or or or they, or they find a way to survive


I I mean like like those those some of them they get severance pay from the company they they still they still continue, they get severance pay from company then they live on their saving they become very frugal until they find the next job lah


ya, but but let's say but the main thing is eating at restaurant and and going cafe hopping and taxi that's that's a main thing


if you eliminate those kind of thing right actually it's much better lah like Cai-Png is only like three dollar, uh one one soup at the hawker center is six dollar then uh MRT is like two dollar it's like very big difference compared to taxi and restaurant lah


!aiya! but but you're still considerably young lah compared to someone who like graduate from uni at like uh twenty five or something, then then if you if you like have a lot employment gaps ah like like like then then then it's more questions lah you're still young and then like this is your first


first career path this is your first degree your first major, it's like it's like it's it's it's not like you are switching from like accountancy to me like comms then then, and you are younger lah so so people won't question so much lah


but the thing the but the thing to be honest right is this is a scientific uh way of communication like like scientific approach of, of uh learning how to of of communication stuff lah, like like for example for example like


for example like a lot of people right after they take this degree then they they go into like master's and then, and then like they study gender communication they study semiotics and symbols like they study all all like organisational comm for example


then like write a lot of research paper it's like it's like I feel like it's more gearing to that side lah


ya, but but, but the purpose is that they are becoming professors and all that lah


ya, ya ya, for me ah I I I think I uh I won't want to advance to master's or anything lah my parents wouldn't want to pay for me


and then also also if I advance right maybe maybe I will take up a baking job then maybe take up a baking diploma part time, then maybe like like I cannot get any communications job or if I want to do baking on the side then I do lah


yes it is


ya, ya, I would say that probably they got more like emphasis on like uh film making got more emphasis on journalism, uh advertising PR they have like one module on their own because this one it's like you are looking at it from a scientific enquiry lah like


like you are looking at the signs of communication and all the theory lah so after that then then you go and take the elective which has that, like I mean for poly they already start with advertising they already start with public relations all those kind of module, so it's very different lah like like like they already make videos and all those lah


yes


ya, ya


ya, but the thing but the thing it's like you can't really like feedback to them like like you must still <mandarin>乖乖:guai guai</mandarin> you must still like, like be goody and then finish your degree first otherwise imagine imagine anything happen ah then like like you know you don't have a degree or what


you get what I mean like like let's let's say if if the the teacher or whoever angry then decide to withdraw degree how, that's what I'm very scared


ya, ya, but but uh but they they changed the ESL you know


actually last time is ESL four O eight and nutrition and all that then now it's all the capstone and scientific inquiry, no because I came very early what summer two zero one six


ya but I think the settings is not the hard part to do the thing is the thing is like, there's some projects that we get to do like in the school setting lah like like for example maybe make video maybe, make advertisement all that lah but the but the problem is right whether they are strong enough or not and and the thing is is is


going through the process of teaching us the theory, uh teaching us like how how is this one come up with but but the problem is really the photoshop skills and all those it's like reliant on our own


okay lah last time my accountancy I got touch Excel lah got one module


ya, like for example they teach us theories then we have to make a magazine or whatever lah, maybe make a book chapter or something E-book but the thing is uh E-book that self that self we need to know how to make it then ourself


ya but having something to show it's better than nothing it's like showing the potential of what you can do


ya, that's, that's why internship is one way because like internship is low cost then after that like you literally get to learn on the job, then like the employer find you suitable then after that you start there like like from a full time onwards lah


for poly ah, I mean I mean the the self source one ah, I mean like like for uni right or or sometimes like A level grads they self source their internship I think if you're not good your performance


you might be fired lah but less likely lah because after all it's still a learning learning activity what and they pay you so low what, but for full time right like like you can really be fired lah


ya, ya but at at at least a degree is also a stepping stone lah like, like like to the interview lah like I mean I mean like like you say you study comms so


like like you apply for comm job people at least take you seriously lah if you say study science you want to enter comms or you study baking you want to enter comms they throw your resume in the bin


uh maybe copywriting lah at at first I I wanted to be like air stewardess, otherwise if not air stewardess then then maybe uh, maybe I join a copywriter firm and then become a copywriter otherwise


advertising there's somebody doing the graphic design then there's somebody writing the words on the advertisement


ya ya, ya


ya ya, obviously I am applying for the internship now but like like like I think got a lot of them say they are more suitable for account servicing, like like the employers that I asked right most of them say they are more suited for account servicing


which means I go and meet the clients I meet the clients then I tell them uh what the creative team want to do then I ask them is it okay


uh not not that they say that about my degree it's that they meet me during the interview then they say that I might be more suited for account servicing lah because, two two two of them, because because uh from what I know right it's it's like account servicing there's more jobs lah


then the then the thing is they say good copywriters are very hard to find like like like you you say that you are good in english you are good in writing, but you had you want to be consistently good it's very hard lah like like to ya


so maybe you can go to the career connect lah and like like all those career fairs like, like next year february there will be career fair lah so if I'm I'm bored maybe I can go and then see what opportunities are there lah


I mean I mean if it comes down to that if I have to find a job then then just go for career fair lah after all it's for graduates, like network with the employers lah ask what opportunities are there ask like whether can schedule an interview or something like that lah just like networking lah


this networking and connections go a long way, I I never I never officially been lah I only see from the outside lah last time there was a very uh horrible forumer say


that oh half of them are insurance company but I think there's there's like those from hospitality uh there's those from IT, uh there's there's those from HR, like all sorts of industries lah nowadays more and more like employers are jumping on the bandwagon lah according to a newspaper report lah


ya, january lor, oh, uh my my mother wants to go to the US uh but she say must be guided actually I want ah, then after that UK she also say must be guided then after that after that she say maybe thailand lah thailand uh that one can go free and easy lah


the the thing the thing is we tried australia free and easy we just use Google Maps and then we managed to find our way around, I mean you can go and buy a data or SIM-card uh from like australia or there


it's okay lah it's okay lah I think thirty AUD ah then you can use for like one month or something, it's quite lah but also, also like maybe it could be six uh australia dollar like for bus ride to from here to there but the thing is their minimum wage is twenty three per hour leh


so it also balance out lah, the living cost ah I think one restaurant like like let's say you one hour you earn twenty three dollar per hour plucking mangoes then like one


one restaurant meal might be like twenty three AUD lah so you one hour you pay for one restaurant meal lah, like but I think the taxes are high lah if you go working holiday actually you can earn quite a bit lah but but because if you are comparing for singaporean perspective


if you are singaporean you're a waitress you earn nine dollar per hour then you go there eat the restaurant of course you Lugi lah, ya, ya


I mean I mean if you it's like it's like being an air stewardess lah let's say, let's say you are you are like uh uh no a student right then you got nothing to do then there's one student I think after his, uh NS or A-levels or something he he before going to uni he take a gap year then he went to australia to pluck mangoes lah


then earning twenty three per hour, ya, maybe maybe can say for education can have can have it for fun lah because I got one estonian friend


ah the estonian ah only earn like one thousand euro for professor because the everything is like very, it's a very poor country lah so he went to australia then then I think I think he he he can earn like like quite a fair bit of uh


aussie dollar lah because there's a minimum wage like I think sixteen to twenty three so he he can save save save and then like improve his cost of living maybe get a house there, so he so he actually he he uh has a hostel there then recently he say he want to get a house there


ah then then after that after that he also like is on working holiday lah so it's two years lah so you so you can work and have fun at the same time lah


because the thing is you have to apply for working holiday visa I think he he was in estonia then he apply for working holiday visa, then he he fly over to singapore he he stayed at my house for few days then after that he went to australia itself then he went to australia itself then like like like


I saw some people right they just walk into australia bar and and say this is my resume will you hire me that kind, ah or or you can go and apply from your own home country lah then prepare to get a job then ya


then at least have uh enough money for the plane ticket back lah, but but you suddenly can can be easy to find one what I mean he was in darwin he was plucking mangoes for two months on a mango farm they need a lot of these casual labour


true lah but but maybe maybe maybe but I think in australia like like it's quite lax one ah because like the farms lower pace of life, then you end work you knock off work very early


maybe it's a interim solution lah because it's it's like if like you are from a poorer country you come there and then do it's it's a big, pay gap leh like for example even uh australia ah all the all the cleaners lah all the garbage collectors ah in US ah they get paid very well eh


the the wage gap is very minimal even in france


the thing is I don't have the ability to do so and then my mum is very controlling lah


but I mean I mean definitely when you are thirty five then if you are single and you are thirty five then can buy your own house otherwise, ya so you so you have to keep working and quite saving up money and can you use some of your CPF money lah otherwise the other thing is you get married


to a man then you can buy earlier lor, ya


ya ya, there's there's there's also like some government rental scheme what like, like those people uh they they live in a one room flat then they have another tenant because like they are totally poor then like each month they pay eighty dollar per month


I think there's a two room flexi flat lah have have to look into it lah but when you are thirty five should be easier to get lah under the single scheme


maybe if if she isn't that controlling, maybe I will apply to work overseas uh maybe maybe I will get a house on my own lah


yes, I I think it's more of the wanderlust lah because like when you are overseas ah


even even when I'm free and easy right I'm like walking in the supermarket I'm like walking across the street I I feel very alive leh like, like as compared to those like guided tour they you have to eat at a certain time you have to wake up at a certain time you have to sleep at a certain time then after that you see it as a tourist


uh then then you all stick to your tour group in a stuffy bus then you go round and round for eight hours


ya ya that's true lah, there's pros and cons lah but the main thing my my mother is like very safety conscious lah and she's like, like the old woman kind of thing oh I got a big tour group is safe then I can talk to the fellow auntie and uncle on my tour bus


then <mandarin>跟他们:gen ta men</mandarin> Kiang, ya and then and then like like sometimes sometimes ah will also follow them and then ask them uh what did you buy from this what did you buy from that uh I follow you to this market ah


my mum is is the the very , very traditional kind lah it's like although she has a degree like like from local uni lah, and then and then but but she but she wouldn't go out of way to mix with


expatriates all the Angmoh kind of people she will like to stay with uh her own kind like her own kind of people, uh like singaporeans lah very familiar kind of, ~ple uh uh auntie who has kids uh hello hello we on the same tour group that kind lah


but but but the thing is is is the thing is she was very frustrated with me because I was learn learning much in school then I was like always daydreaming daydreaming, then after that my brother was also unmotivated so she stay at home lah she she tried to coach both of us lah


I feel better and more confident about my abilities lah I feel like like she's not breathing down my throat lah


because there are some, ya there there's a lot of types of parenting lah there's there's one that is authoritative there's one that is uh authoritarian then there is one that is , there there there's one that is nothing uh not uninvolved then there's one that is permissive


so the the thing is with uh with helicopter parents and authoritarian parents, they give very little control and little flexibility and they don't want the child to fail like what if my child go to ITE, like like they don't want they hope that the child wouldn't like


like fail or anything so so they try to cushion the child but but without thinking of like what the child really wants or his interest lah


I feel that we are raised in a society that is very pragmatic lah because like like there was this girl with like, special needs or something lah I I don't know whether she has intellectual disability lah then it's it's like her at first at first she had a weak throat issue or something


then then after that after that the the mother notice that she has interest in singing but her but her I think her vocal muscles were weak, so they'll they hired a special vocal uh vocal coach to train her and and in the end ah her singing got very good but when when I tell this to my mum ah


I I don't think I I I even now she's like skeptical like I pay for your singing lessons ah you can improve your singing meh you can become a very good singer meh like


but at the end of day I I'm grateful that my father like willingly paid for my degree lah, even even now my mum is saying like I I told you uh you want to go comms right you don't believe right comms very hard to find job right accounting easier to find job


but but the thing is is uh because this is the society we live in lah it's very pragmatic lah like arts arts sector not so recognise lah, otherwise otherwise if like like more more arts arts people are recognise then probably probably that like things will get better lah


(hmm) ya ya, I think it's two hours already leh, is yours two hours also


ya, uh because cause I want to go to toilet I uh want to eat leh, on yours ah, because mine it my my my timing on on my computer right it says two two hour uh


it says two hour fifteen minutes total ah, is it, wait ah I go toilet first ah I need to tell ask the man first wait ah


hello, ya ya I can


it's very funny question lah uh but I, I think most of them are rather clean I think like we won a prize for like the the world's cleanest toilet or something right, world's cleanest toilet world the whole world's cleanest


ya actually it depends one like those high SES things ah like those hotel all very nice one


like some of the new uh shopping center all very good one, but when it comes to coffee shop lah hawker center all this is lousy, just like last time I go to china right like like those those like <mandarin>高级酒店啊:gao ji jiu dian ah</mandarin> those high class restaurant uh high class uh uh hotel all these lah


ah they their toilet very good one, then then after that this one ah uh like in like like like you know ah some some some more


not not so good not not so nice, ya ya ya uh like those those uh, uh those it's like literally a hole in the world to urine and all that leh, then there's no door to close even eh then all the flies flying all all around the urinal and all the sink eh


uh no it was in china so I'm saying it's like different lah I mean you go to the good parts of, singapore and the bad parts of singapore of course the toilet the standard very different lah
