  Speaker 1: about the World Cup, right, it's during the month of June,

  Speaker 1: ah yeah, school starts again. How to watch?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: With games happening from 123456789, 1011 a.m. and I think
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the latest kickoff for a game will be 12 p.m.,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: but the finals will be happening at 3 a.m. Singapore time. Yikes.

  Speaker 1: So call us 669-011-987. 987. Hello, what's your name? Hi,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I'm Christina. Hello, Christina, and which level are you in
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: this year in terms of school?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: OK, I'm teaching the 5 and the 3 this year. Oh,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you're a teacher. All right, ma'am. So you're teaching primary
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: 5 and primary 3. Yes, that's right. And from which school?

• 4:42
  Speaker 1: shout out. Thank you so much for being a teacher
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and doing what you do, educating the young here in Singapore.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So how rewarding has the teaching career been for you, Christina?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I love it. I really love it. I love the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: interactions in the classrooms, interactions with, um, in the with
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the children, the parents, and yeah, I, I, I really
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: love it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we know you as Christina now on 987,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: but what do your students know you as Miss Swat? Uh,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I don't say.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: No problem, no problem. So, if Sonia and I were
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to ever come to Mitou school, what's the one thing
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: we can look forward to? Like what's the great thing
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: about the school you love, aside from the teachers and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the students?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Um, I, I love, why I love this school is
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: because of the values that they inculcate in the children.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they have like a, a values education program
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: every Wednesday where they have the volunteers from city to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: come in and then they sing songs and they do
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: small little activities with the children to really um teach
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the children about values and around our school there's a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: lot of recycling program. Recycling is very big in our
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: school as well.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, um, everyone plays a part in the recycling portion.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: So everybody comes together and then we help, um, the environment,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you know. Well, it's a very nice advertisement for Meo
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: School for parents to hear this, so hopefully you do
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a good job. That said, given how you're teaching the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: primary 5 this year, I believe I'll be seeing you
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: very soon at the national stadium. So for the NDP previews,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: have a great time. Christina, what song can I get
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: for you here on 987?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: So they love BTS and they love the song Sin.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your call, Christina. Take care.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I believe sometime last week, our friends over at Mothership
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and I think all your social media outlets and news platforms,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: they were covering about this certain cat that went missing
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: over at Gardens by the Bay. Bravo, the ginger cat. So,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the backstory is what happened was the owner and her husband,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Shermine and her husband,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Actually brought down Bravo to Gardens by the Bay to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: celebrate Mother's Day and to get something from a store
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: over in the park. So it was Bravo, the cat's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: first time in the park, and they were trying out
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a new harness for him, and I think Bravo was
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: spooked by a few of the kids, and Bravo went missing.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: So unfortunately,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Um, they went on an almost week-long search for Bravo,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and if anyone has ever had a pet missing before,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you know the panic, you know the anxiety that it
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: will give you. And I remember for Sonia and I,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: one of our mutual friends, Patient, remember Oreo, the dog
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that went missing from the, from the, uh, the flight
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that was supposed to go to the US and then
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a massive nationwide collective manhunt took place for Oreo the dog,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and thankfully he was found.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: For Bravo the ginger cat, I'm very happy to say
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that yep, knowing the Singapore spirit and so many pins
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: joined in the search. Close to about 50 people formed
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a small community, and they found Bravo the cat in
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the end. Congratulations, I'm very happy.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: So, Bravo was actually found at a cordoned-off area of
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the park and they hired a professional cat trapper. It
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: took about an hour of coaxing Bravo to go in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the trap for safekeeping, and yeah, Bravo is now safely
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: with Charmaine and her husband again. So congratulations to Charmaine.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Please sleep off the anxiety and the stress now and rest. I,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine what a daunting one week it
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: has been for you. And for the next one minute
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: or so, I promise you.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: This will only be the most self-serving I've sounded here
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: on 987, but something that I always look forward to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: every year, National Day parades. Dream of mine. Glad it's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: come true and glad that whenever they give me the call, hey, Joakim,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: do you wanna host NDP? I'll always say, say no more.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I'll gladly do it. And yeah. Yesterday, I think the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: media release for what we can expect for this year's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: National Day Parade 2026.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: It was released and the one thing that people are
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: feeling a little bit cyang about is for this year,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: given how it's being staged at the National Stadium, it's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: making its return to the National Stadium after 10 years.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: There won't be the red lions. Yeah, and as, you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: one of the hosts for NDP the last few years,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I gotta say, during the national education shows and even
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the previews, even before the actual day itself, whenever the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: red lions appear, people just cheer. You, you don't even
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: need to say cheer for them. They will scream, they
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: will shout, they'll be waving the Singapore flags. But here's
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the thing, perhaps as
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Uh, how do I say this? I'm speaking as myself
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and giving you my personal take here on 987 because
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: on social media, you would know.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Sometimes on Facebook and Instagram, the comment section can be
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: really rage bait 101. Not too sure whether are they
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: boomers or just people who wanna find trouble with every
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: single thing. You know, I see familiar names who just
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: love to leave comments that add nothing to the discussion.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: So I saw one that says, whoa, up to now
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: our commando still cannot land in the stadium, is it? OK.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Having been to the national stadium many times for events.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: The thing about our retractable roof is, it's being held
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and supported by loads of roof trusses. It's the structure
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that holds the thing in place and hopefully tracks the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: roof as it opens. I, I don't think it's humanely
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: possible to actually learn and navigate yourself through the trusses.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: What if an accident were to happen? What if the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: wind blows wrongly and the parachute gets stuck among the trusses?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Because the opening, it's really very small, so hopefully,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Perhaps this might give you a better understanding of why
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it's not possible for the red lines to land inside
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: our national stadium. Maybe for future stagings, there could be
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: more space in the Kallang area and we might see that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: But what you can look forward to this year as
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: promised by the powers that be who are in charge
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of National Day Parade this year.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Indoor drone shows, a new and improved format, a staging
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: that could seat 42,000 people. So we're looking at what,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: 3 or 4 different NEs, 2 previews, and the actual
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: day itself. Rehearsals are gonna start very soon. I'm looking
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: forward to it and all I can say to you,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the public is
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Give it a chance. Let, let's see. Do we always
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: have people saying, oh, NDP should be different every year.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: This is us trying to be different, and I really
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed this year. I, I've heard plans on
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: what sort of staging will happen. I can't reveal it
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: as of yet. Wait for the official media release. Maybe
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: sometime in June. If you're a fan of
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Hello Kitty and maybe Blackpink's Jisu, you might want to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: take note of these dates. May 28th to June 14th,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. over at Wisma Atria
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Level one, there will be the Hello Kitty collab with Jissu,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: making its pop-up here in Singapore, yeah.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Look, I, I'm not gonna pretend that I understand Hello Kitty,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: but if you're happy, I am really happy for you.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: You can look forward to blind boxes, travel accessories, apparel, stationery,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and collectible key chains, and the collection is themed around
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a friendship exchange diary. Yeah, so I think Jisoo has
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: really planned this collaboration and she has a huge hand
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: in making it happen.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: If I'm not wrong, it's already happened in Seoul, Korea,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and Jakarta, as well as Bangkok, Thailand. So Singapore is
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the next stop, May 28th, all the way to June 14th.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: But disclaimer, again, there is no announcement on whether Jisoo
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: will be here to launch the collection officially. If she is,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: then stay very close to our friends over at CNA.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: They might most definitely report on this. The phone lines
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: are open over at 669-119-87.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And even our WhatsApp number as well, 90050987. Not so
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: much a spicy topic today, but today it's more or
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: less a very sweet one and it involves a stranger,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a complete stranger helping you find something, do something, or
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: in a time of need, maybe you took a very
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: bad fall, somebody helped you up. Simple acts like these
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to restore your faith in humanity because when I was
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: reading about
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Bravo, the ginger cat that went missing over at Garden
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Spader Bay. Close to what, 50 random people showed up
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to help Charmaine and her husband find the cat, and thankfully,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Bravo has been found. Yeah, I'm gonna just be happy
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And as a parent, you, you could be going through
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: all sorts of anxiety and stress and having not one,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: not two, but 50 people show up for you, calm
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you down and put in their efforts to comb around
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the whole Gardens by the Bay Area looking for Bravo. Thankfully,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Bravo was found. 669-11987.

  Speaker 1: at the Gardens by the Bay area. The full story
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: available for you, I think, by our friends over at Mothership.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: They've
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Really chronicled how Bravo was found, so the pet owner
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Shamine and her husband can finally rest easy, and the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: last I read, they're giving Bravo all the space to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: get used to the home environment again and to also
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: overcome any emotional shock or sadness. Going to WhatsApp right now, 90050987,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: saying good morning to Jensen. Hey Joe, my mom was
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: cycling along East Coast Park two weeks ago when she
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: had a fall because her bicycle chain broke.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Two people actually helped her up and
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Helped her give me a call to assure me that
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I was OK because I received the full notification on
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: my Apple Watch. Well, Jensen, there you go. Thank you
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: very much for that. And I also received a voice
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: note from Mabel. Mabel, let's hear your story.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: So, back when I was having a newborn baby, together
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: with my 2 year old toddler, I would have to
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: carry the baby and bring the toddler to school by
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: bus or um by walking.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: And there was this magical helper somewhere in our neighborhood
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: that would always show up when I was um in
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the most desperate situation. So for example, she would spot
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: me at the bus stop and she would help me
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: lift my toddler up onto the bus. Or if it
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: was raining, she would appear with an umbrella or if
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: there was a big puddle, she would just really appear
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and help me to carry my toddler over the puddle.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: It was almost as if she was Mary Poppin.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: So kudos
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to her. And for today, stories that will restore your
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: faith in humanity, inspired by 50 random strangers coming together
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: to help Charmaine and her husband find Bravo the ginger
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: cat over at Gardens by the Bay. In case you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: missed the update, Bravo has been found, so I'm gonna
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: clap for everyone who was involved. Thank you.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Faith in humanity definitely restored. So I'm just collecting your
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: stories about when was the last time a stranger showed
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: up for you. I got a lengthy one to read
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: coming in from Linda, and Linda has sent pictures of
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: a very nice doggo. Why, you're the goodest boy. OK, morning,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: dear Joe. Hope your morning has been good. Recently, my
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Singapore special doggie has been diagnosed with, OK, hopefully I'm
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Saying this correctly, babe she tick fever and the VES
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: vet asked us to rally for doggy blood donors. I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: immediately messaged the different FB groups and immediately all the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: nice por reposted my post asking for kind doggy blood
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: donors for my sparky. I need to do a special
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: shout out to Zoe from Canine Blood Donors Singapore. She
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: called me late at night to share that she actually
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: had
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: A standby hero doggy blood donor for both Sparky and
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: another dog. She also messaged me to comfort me and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: told me that they already have a doggie hero on standby.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Many parents continue to repost my call for help. Wonderful,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: wonderful individuals who do not know us at all. Then
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: two kind souls messaged me on my mobile and told
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: me not to worry, as their doggies will be on
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: standby too for Sparky. One even regularly.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: He checked up on me and Sparky. Fortunately, we don't
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: need any blood transfusion, but very unfortunately, Sparky is diagnosed
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: with lymphoma. Oh no, in addition to babe tick fever, uh,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: tick fever. Very poor diagnosis, but we are trying our
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: best to keep him healthy with loads of good nutrition, food,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and good supplements. But I want to thank all the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: kind strangers who showed us love and concern. Aiyo.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Linda, you know what? Thank you very much and thank
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you for all the pictures of Sparky. I sent him
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: all the good juju, all the good treats. Please, Sparky,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: get well soon. We're all rooting for you. On the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: topic of restoring your faith in humanity, strangers showing up
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: for you, inspired by the 50 people who showed up
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to help find Bravo the ginger cat over at Gardens
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: by the Bay, Singapore. Bravo's been found.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: That's very good. Going to WhatsApp and saying hello to Jesse.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Hello Jesse. Jesse says, morning, Joe. My husband and I
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: were on our honeymoon in Turkey, and we went on
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: a road trip around Turkey. Then, in a very ulu
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: part of the country, another car signaled to us and
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: informed us that one of our tires punctured. When we
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: stopped and checked, we were at a total loss. I,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: for one, had never changed a spare tire before.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: The local Turkish stranger came out from the car and
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: offered to help. We watched him jack up the car
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and unscrew the bolts, remove the wheel and change to
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the spare wheel. He also made sure to secure the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: spare tire by kicking and using his weight on the wrench.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: We were really touched by his kindness and generosity. He
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: didn't ask for anything in return. We probably have nothing
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to give to. All we did was really thank him profusely.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: From then on, I was really inspired by
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Him to bring the generosity forward to extending help to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: visitors to Singapore. There we go. Hopefully, you're having a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: great Friday so far and thank you for all your
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: calls and texts earlier about strangers showing up for you.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I think, if anything, I really hope your faith in
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: humanity has been restored. For today's winner though, I think
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I want to give it to Fran who called us earlier. Fran, congratulations!
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Sharing about the umbrella and all that. I, I wish
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: you were able to invite the person that helped you
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to go dine with you over at Frasier's house at Luche,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: but you know what? I'm pretty sure you'll bring your kids.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: They're in for one fantastic meal as well. And again,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: if you missed everything, full updates and recap available for
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: you on Media Corps, me, Listen, as well as on Spotify. So, um,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Again, the the word influencer, it's in the spotlight right now. Thankfully,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: nothing Singapore made or Singapore done for this particular situation
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: because uh for the last few months, I don't know why,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: but yeah, a couple of Singaporean influencers making the news
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: for all the wrong reasons. This one though is a
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Vietnamese influencer, and she shared that she's facing health problems, OK?
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know how true this is, but apparently for
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the last 3 years, she has drank nothing but bubble tea.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and unfortunately, she's now diagnosed with blood cancer.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I'm stunned
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I, I don't know why did she do this, but
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: in a very emotional video, she was addressing her viewers saying,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: you know, please, please take things in moderation and all that,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: but 3 years of bubble tea without water, are you sure?
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: That that's my question. I don't know whether is this
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: really hyped up.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Or is this actually fact? So if you want to
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: go watch the video, it's available for her, it's available
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: for you, I think, on Mothership and her Instagram account
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: as well. Her name is Anfai. Hopefully I'm saying that correctly,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: and the quote is, I thought as I don't smoke
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: or drink alcohol that my body would be fine.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: And then she drinks bubble tea for 3 years straight. I,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I'm confused. And if you're a Formula One fan, you
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: would know Formula One action, it's back. No, wait, that's
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the old engine. I don't know how to make the
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: new hybrid engine sound. It sounds a little bit weird
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to me if you ask me. But anyway, here's giving
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: you the timings to look forward to. Now, because it's
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: in Canada, do note there's like a
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Almost, what? 12-hour time difference. So for practice one, it
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: happens tomorrow morning, 12:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. and then
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: at 4:30 a.m. to 5:14 a.m. it is the sprint
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: qualifying that's happening tomorrow morning. On Sunday morning, Singapore time,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: 12 midnight to 1:00 a.m. is the Canadian Grand Prix sprint.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: And then for qualifying, it happens 4 a.m. to 5 a.m.,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: 24th of May. And then on Monday morning at 4 a.m.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: it will be the Canadian Grand Prix race itself. So
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I'm very sure on Monday morning when I show up
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: to work, I'll more or less be able to summarize
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and quickly give you who were, who made podium for
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the Canadian Grand Prix. So to my boys over at Cadillac,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: come on guys, let's score some points or
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: The most important thing for Cadillac is beat the Aston Martin.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: What a show we've had. What a week we've had
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: going solo. So don't forget, starting next Monday for the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: whole week on the shock circuit, we have a very
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: nice LEGO FIFA World Cup bundle for you, which we'll
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: be giving to you on a simple World Cup trivia game.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go head to head with a fellow listener,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: get 3 questions right, and what's coming your way? The
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: fantastic prize brought to you by
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Lago. We also just spoke to Yen Korku of StarHub,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: as well as Joe Cole and Namena Village Premier League legends.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I'm still smiling. My classic United jersey now has Namena
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Village's signature. Hopefully, I can collect more United legends and
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the ultimate one will be Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and maybe one day,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Wayne Rooney. Well, if you're a football fan or not,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: enjoy the final day screening over at Clark Quay Fountain Square.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: We'll see you there.
