  Speaker 2: Was there any news about her honeymoon? Like, did she
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: jet off somewhere or?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Not reported. With all that news about the wedding, yeah,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I'm very sure she'd have done what she can to
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: keep her honeymoon private. Yeah, well, technically if you think
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: about it, all the, the photos and videos that might
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: have happened in her during her wedding, they were kept
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: quite private. There was nothing much, right, that was leaked.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: There were no paparazzi. They were not invited inside Madison
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Square Garden. Yeah, yeah, only outside. And don't forget she
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: closed off the entire stretch to keep it private for
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: her guests and even there were police and
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I think some security detail presence as well. Of course, 100%.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, from what we know, the guests actually received
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: like crazy gifts, like wedding gifts. I mean if they
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: saire like Taylor Swift, Yo man, like one, no problem.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Who's stopping you, right? Who's stopping you? Anyway, you must
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: be sleepy this morning. Oh yeah, I'm very surprised I'm
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: even here. I'm also surprised, but what a show it
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was last night over at the National Stadium for NDP 2026.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Thank you all for coming.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: The postal reception had laksa Sonia, of course I wish
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you were there with me. I know. Hopefully next year
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: we can enjoy a nice bowl together. I will whack
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the laksa with extra sambal, you and I both, always,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: but uh I was watching from home, had a small
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: little thing with like my friends, and they came over
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and stuff, and um, we actually decided we wanted to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: go upstairs to see whether we can have a peek
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: of any of the fireworks at all, but not much luck.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: But it's OK. We had tons of food and drinks
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and like.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Watch the parade. Did you all play drinking games? Of course.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Like when the president stops, I'll take a shot. No, no, never, never, never, never.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Can you not me like that? When someone says Majulah Singapura,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: take a shot. No wonder I don't remember much from
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: last night. Thank you for joining us here today. Um,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that this song, people have danced to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: it so much during the World Cup. Shakira's raked in
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: some extra cash as well from there. It's OK, Shakira.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: We'll see you in 4 years for the next World Cup. Yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Her voice is just like so suitable for.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: The World Cup, the savior of World Cup songs, but I,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I still don't know how to feel about Die Die. Yeah,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe because we, we prefer her previous songs
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: so much more. And it started trending again actually, funny enough.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: There you go. Anyway, coming up in a few minutes, um,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: remember just last week I was asking you, we have
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: like the Hong Pao draw when it comes to CNY
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and Toto, right? And then do we have like a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: national Day related one which I don't think so. Let
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: me check in a while, yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: But I want to take you across the causeway right
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: now where we might just have the luckiest housewife ever, OK?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Just as I was wondering about the National Day draw
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and all that, right, they have their own version of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: jackpot and total jackpot and all that. On that note,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: we had $5 million. We do. See, I knew it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Every special occasion we'll have a total draw. Anyway, I
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: want to tell you about the luckiest housewife ever in
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Malaysia coming up.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: David Guetta, if you really love me, how will I know?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Right here on 987, Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Just tell you I love you. I know. Anyway, uh,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: like I said, I think I want to shake the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: hand of the luckiest person ever, which is neither one
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: of us, to be honest. Um, this lady in Malaysia.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Sanitize my hands for nothing. This lady in Malaysia, she
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: um went through a tough time during the COVID-19 period. OK,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I think she lost her job. I think her husband's
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: job was also at risk, not doing well. Um, they decided,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you know, to just buy a lucky pick ticket in
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: their form of total, like a jackpot situation, OK. Boom,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: she wins almost 5000.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Those are 3 years ago, 323 years ago. Three years later,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: guess what? She touched again. She won jackpot again. This
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: time it's over $4 million Singapore dollars. Like what is
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: going on? I'm stunned. Do you know of anyone who's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: won 40 or total like twice?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I know of 40, yes, but total, I don't think
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: they will say. Yeah, like, but I'm sure it would
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: have made the news like the same person twice, right?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: If they announce it to the public on Instagram, on TikTok. No,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: but then how, how do they even get this information
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: in the first place? I mean, if it's a very
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: big draw, they will usually make some news about it, right?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: So Singapore pools, they have a way to track and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: then you claim your winnings. You have to show your SingPass.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Your, your IC and all that, I guess. But you
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: know how in Singapore when there's a winning ticket, they
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: reveal the winning outlet. Did they reveal where she bought
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the ticket from? Yeah, so the first one was actually
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: at um this random place that she and her husband
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: used to frequent. I'm not familiar because I don't really
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: go to Malaysia, but let me get the location for you.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: She had some memory problems, so they went to Perak.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Uh, Lumut in Perak. They stopped in this place called
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Sitia One for a meal, and they bought a computer
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: lucky pic ticket there. Yeah. Was that like their usual
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: dating spot or what? Last time, like I think when
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: they were much younger, so she had some memory issues,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you know, he wanted to just bring her and reminisce,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: see if it helps. In that case, the next big Singapore, Sonia,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: we're going Vivo City again.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. Hopefully it works. from now till
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: 16th of August 2026 if you shop over at NTUC FairPrice. Oh,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: there's one near my house and you spend $61 on
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a receipt, you get a $6 voucher. Yay. Wait, wait,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I got a question. Is it, does it have to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: be $61 on the dot? No, right? Or is it
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: minimally $61.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: It's that because it says if you spend $61 in
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: a single receipt, you receive a $6 return voucher. So
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: you could be calculating what to buy and you hit
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: $61 just nice, you get the voucher. You know, it's,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: it's very cute because I can only imagine some people
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: like shopping, actually it's very tough to calculate because youT
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: True. Speaking of rounded off numbers, right, I think that
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the Saipan auntie near my house got tactic, you know.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: So you know with your CDC vouchers, they don't technically
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: give you back change, right? So if you, if for example,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: if you get like uh something that's $4 but she
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: says $450 or like $480 and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: You want to use the additional like 1 or $2
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you won't get back the 20 cents or 50 cents, right?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: So you have to like use your own money or
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know, pay now or something which is extra hassle.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I noticed that sometimes she will give me like a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: very odd number to the point where like you will
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: want to just give up, like you just don't, don't
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: bother paying with your like, your, your QR code anymore.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: So you just give her extra 20 cents, you know
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: what I mean?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Because she knows that some people just round up and
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: they're like, ah, never mind lah, it's OK. Take it
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: as if you're giving your favorite hawker stall a small donation.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: How about that? Yeah, I know, and I love that
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Saipan shop. They've got some of my favorite dishes there
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: that other places don't have. Hey, this thing about you
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: surprises me, you know. I never knew you were such
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: a voucher person. No, I'm not know how to use it. Uh,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: not really, actually, I'm quite bad at it. My, my
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: mom always says that like I waste a lot of
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: those vouchers because I never check the expiry date.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: CDC because I guess um my parents have their own
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: vouchers and I have my own, so I take my
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: time to use it. I'm only me, so yeah, I
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: share it with my mom sometimes because they got 3
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: people there. I'm very happy to report that my McDonald's
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: points because I've not had it in so long, it's accumulated.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: So the next breakfast we have it on you. OK.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: How many breakfasts? Like 34. Hello, 1 or 2 lah,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: 3 or 4 stingy Santa Claus, actually, yes, OK.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: As someone who represents the community of people who can't swim, OK,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: if you can't swim, don't gay. Don't go into your
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: condo pool or beach or whatsoever. You sound exactly like
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: my aunties. No, really, because, um, apparently over at Palawan Beach,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a 25 year old man who couldn't swim, and he
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: knows he can't swim, he went swimming at Palawan Beach
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and nearly drowned. Oh my God, why would he do that?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Thankfully he's OK.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Doctors found loads of water in his lungs and all that,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: but thankfully he's OK. But I'm just thinking, why would
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: you do that if you have that formal mentality? It's OK.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I'd rather you save your life than go and join
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: your friends for a moment's folly and you're in trouble.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Was he trying to impress someone? No, no, no, no,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: it wasn't wanted to swimming. Oh, I see. Well, I think, um.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: If you want to try swimming, you have to do
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: it in a controlled environment with like someone who can
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: help you because the thing about like going to the beach, right,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: is that even though, yeah, our waters are quite gentle here,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: but sometimes the current can be quite strong and you
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: don't know how to deal with that, especially if you
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: don't have the basics. So if you're wearing a life jacket,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: it doesn't mean your life is safe. Stay safe, my friends.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Are you currently on vacation? Are you currently just sleeping in?
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: What's happening? Hey, but you know what, if you're in town, yeah,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: especially for 22nd of August 2026, how about joining Sonia
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and myself and thousands of other Singaporeans for the RWS
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Steps of Hope walkathon? Yeah, you know, I gave myself
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: hope by telling myself I'll show up for it because
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I like walking, but
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I can keep up with you.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I'm so small. I'm gonna walk your pace. It's not
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: a race. It's not a run. It's a walk. Oh,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: so you're just strolling. Yeah. So if you're walking past
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Universal Studios Singapore, you might see your favorite characters. I
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: want to walk alongside a minion. Then you walk.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: No difference. So with National Day done and dusted, the
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: National Stadium coming August twenty-ninth, I think once they clear
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: the entire National Day sets and all that.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: It will be open for a national stadium experience from
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: 29th to 20th of September. So it's just what they
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: did in the month of June, where some select nights
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: you can go in there and run the track. You
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: can train there and all that. Do they have other
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: things going on like, No, I guess it's very much
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the track and all that. So just make sure you
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: observe good track etiquette. If you're going fast, you are,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: lane 12, and 3. If you're going slow with your
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: run clubs and maybe say 6 minutes, 7 minutes, 8.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Minute pace, use 5678. So is it open to spectators
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: to just sit there in the stands? If you want to,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: maybe you can just sit somewhere away from the track
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: and have a look at people running. Yeah, I don't mind.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, open a bottle of wine, sit at the track,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: sit at the stands and watch people run. I don't
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: know about bringing alcohol into the stadium. You're not allowed
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: to because they do have the stands, but I don't
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: think they're not open, of course, in terms of concerts
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: here in Singapore, I think at the National Stadium, what
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: was it, Big Bang.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: And then very soon we got the weekend, we got
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: BTS and then performing at the indoor stadium, we have
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Baby Monster.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: And 28th of November, the same day as Baby Monster
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: at Apex at Expo, it's the Seraphim. So the thing
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: is you've got so much to choose from, and I
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: think by now you would have gotten your tickets for
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: the ones that you want to go for already, right? Yeah.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: So that's all coming up, I guess, second half of
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the year. Now the NDP is over. OK, so there
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: are apparently sleep surveys done for students. Can I give
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: you some results? Yes, please. They found that primary 5
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: and secondary 3 students got 15 more minutes of.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Sleep in 2025 than they did in 2023. OK, what
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: was it attributed to schools shift their slightly later starting hours?
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: That's good. That's good. Honestly, 15 minutes really means a lot,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: you know. Really? You don't think so? I was gonna
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: say 15 minutes is nothing. If you tell me one hour,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I'll be like, wow, I think 15 minutes is already
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: like a bonus, even 5 minutes to me, especially at
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: that time of the morning. Wait, maybe 1 hour is
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: too much. We start with half an hour first Half
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: an hour.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: 30 minutes is a lot. Yeah, it is a lot.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: It is a lot. But OK, so has it improved
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: their mood and I don't know, is there another study
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: about that? I don't know about 15 minutes lah, but OK,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I'll take what I can get at this point in time.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: So congrats to our primary 5 and 3 students. The
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: rest I'm not too sure what's happening there. The rest
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: we remain sleep deprived. We'll do our best. I'm sure
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: it's a bit of a sleepy morning for everyone. Either
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: you're recovering from your celebrations yesterday, and I'm sure that
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of clubs.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: and nightlife areas were open till late last night. I
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: can envision DJ Nash spinning home by Kit Chan, the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: original version. No, no, no, the original version to close
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: the club to tell everyone to go home. I thought
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: the remix version. It's not this is home. Please go home.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Now I can't be a songwriter. Please don't. Anyway, speaking
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: of songs, we got some of our favorites coming up
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: in just a bit in case you missed.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: The live performance of Gareth Fernandez and Drew Chen. They
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: did sparkle live in the studio and we contributed, although
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: no one asked, but we offered our services for free
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: as backup singers. We had to pay them to sing us.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: There you go. What better way to wind down from
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the National Day weekend celebrations than to hear yet another
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: uplifting track that was performed live just a couple of
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: days ago on our show. I wouldn't be so quick
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: as to say wind down. You never know. The organizers
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: hear our version. Let's stage it again.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow, let's do it. Which community center gonna hire us?
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Not even community center, the actual show MVP.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: OK,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: let's go back there.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Hey,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I think we better start small first, you know, we
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: start at my, my, my condo gathering or something. Anyway,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: we
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: would love
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: to relive those moments. Gareth and Drew live with Sparkle
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: on 987.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Sparkle, come on.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Come on
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: You've been searching.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: your special sign, but look within yourself. You see there's
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: treasure deep inside.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Waste your time chasing someone's fantasy, but you could be
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the one you're meant to be, so get up off
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: your feet.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Bring it down.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: You got so the skills to turn that brown around.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Feel so
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Diamonds, kids, so remember you're in.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: That you're magic. Don't forget that you are. Season's coming,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: reasons going. You could be a star.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Clap your hands and stomp your feet. It's your life
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: now make believe, so lift me up in yourself too.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: from
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Kid, so remember you're in.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Alrighty, so over at the Masling area there could be
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: a potential case of cat abuse, potential because it happened
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: over at the Masling Industrial Estate area. So there's a
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: community cat by the name of Pai Pai, white and
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: all that, right, but unfort
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Fortunately, the cat feeders that tend to it regularly found
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: that it was coated with black oil, including in its
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: ears and eyes, so they suspect it could be cat abuse,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: but I'm just seeing the flip side here just in
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: case before we jump the gun.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Because industrial area, right, maybe there could have been oil
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: spillage somewhere and Paipay accidentally got into it. So I
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: don't know, but according to the cat feeders, Paipai was
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: a bit scared after the whole oil incident. So I
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: think you can tell if it's scared if the animal
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: starts becoming scared of humans, something happened there for sure,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: like when we just adopted Maxi, right, you could tell
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: that she, she couldn't trust easily, you know, which is very,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: very sad, um.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: But speaking of animals and all that, I, I want
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: to give a big shout out to our friends at SPCA.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: They're doing a dog adoption drive very soon. Uh, please
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: go check it out. They just posted a few days ago,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: and a lot of the other dog communities and um
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: companies or non-profit organizations, they are re-sharing it because I
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: think there's a new batch of these, you know, dogs
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: to be up for adoption. Please do what you can
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: to adopt, don't shop. There we go. OK lah, this one,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: capital letters controversial for sure.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Singapore has a sci-fi movie made with AI. It's called
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Trace Project. It was premiered yesterday at a 2 p.m.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: screening at Golden Village Cinema Hall 4 at Vivo City.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: So what's kind of interesting was there's a screenshot, right,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: of the 1st 4 rows of the cinema being booked out. Oh,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: maybe the production studio or what, and the remaining 5
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: rows looked empty.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: And uh interestingly enough, it's generated by AI. It's prompted
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: by AI, but the timing of it when the world
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: isn't really in the embracing mood of AI as of yet, yeah, la,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: could be, could have been better lah. I think it's
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: maybe they're just testing it out, probably, you know, using
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: this as a test audience. I think they've done other
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: feature films before and um many stories about Singapore revolve
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: around our history.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: As well that maybe people are curious about. So in
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: the late 2030s as Earth's ecosystem continues to collapse, humanity
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: launches the Mars Footprints program, sending astronauts from every nation
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: to establish a new civilization on Mars. OK, this type
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: of movie, right, you definitely need like Christopher Nolan kind
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: of budget. Like look at Interstellar, for example. So maybe
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: this AI prompting movie, right?
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: It can show the powers that be. Hey, you know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: these are AI problems that if you invest in us,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: we could give you a Chris Nolan standard movie. Basically
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: you can spin it around for business. Yeah, but I'm,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not too sure how to feel about this one.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, there are a lot of short films
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: also like on social media now on TikTok and Instagram, right?
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: They just feed it to you, and I have to say,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I get quite invested, you know, in those like trashy storylines.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: But then I end up watching the whole thing. Then
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: they say, oh, cliffhanger, you got to subscribe to this,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: don't know what channel to watch. I, I'm watching the
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: trailer right now. You can really tell it's AI generated
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: to the point where the comments. One of the guys, look, the,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the actors actually has a bit of resemblance to Dick
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Lee though.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Do you notice? He just popped up on my screen. Oh, the,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: the guy that looks like, doesn't he look a bit
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: like Dick Lee? A little bit. I swear he should
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: look into that. Oh, let's see if it's still showing
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: in cinemas. So it wasn't too long ago that here
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: in Singapore we had a pretty bad lightning strike incident
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: over at the Pasir Ris Beach area, to which our
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: heart still goes out to the family and friends of
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: the victim, and it just really, I think shocked us
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: as a whole here in Singapore because we never really
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: A lightning strike is not something you usually think about,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: you know, and then we take you over to Thailand
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: right now where a lightning strike, unfortunately has taken the
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: life of a very young Thai footballer, only 24 years old,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: during a match in Thailand, and another 12 people were
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: actually injured.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I think football games in Thailand now before they kick off,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: they're actually paying a minute of silence for the fallen footballer.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: It's really sad and this is why bringing back to Singapore,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: when your stadiums, especially for all the run clubs when
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: they have the lightning alert on.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Take it seriously. Yeah, don't, it's not just for show,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: and in the rain and all that because it's a
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: safety thing. Yeah, but sometimes, you know, as much precaution
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: as you take, certain things just happen, you know, I,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I really don't know what the, what their form of
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: precaution was. Like I'm sure they would have said, OK,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: the weather is looking not too good now, but how
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: do you predict the lightning strike?
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, if it's raining, don't go in the field
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: and if you know that there's gonna be a storm,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: you might want to clear your football fields at Bishan
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Parks or Pasir Ris Parks or East Coast Park, for example. Yeah. Anyway, um,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: regardless of what it is you're up to, you know,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I think plenty of people are spending time outdoors over
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the next over the weekend and over the next few days.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: So please be safe and abide by any sort of
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: warnings or rules or anything.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: We're just sending you love this morning. I'm gonna give
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: you some dates, OK, of musicals and plays happening here
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: in Singapore like local musicals and plays staged by our
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: local scene and actors. OK. Are you ready? OK, so
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: the very first one, Legally Blonde. Yay. OK, it runs
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: till 16th of August. So get your tickets in and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: then following that, of course, loads of comments about this one.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ Superstar. It'll be available in Singapore very soon.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: If I'm not wrong, it runs 19th of August, all
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: the way till 6th of September. So, all the best
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: with that one. Enjoy it. And if you're wondering when
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: is this year's National Day Rally, very soon, August 23rd, 2026,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Sunday night. Hm, OK. So I just did a quick
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: search and, uh, for Jesus Christ.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Superstar, they've got an NC-16 rating here in Singapore, so
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: just take note of that. I think in general, the
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: rest are fine, whatever age you are. Legally Blonde should
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: be fine. It's going to be a very entertaining family
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: show as well. Yeah, and loads of rave reviews when
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: it comes to Legally Blonde. Congrats to Nattie Ong, Nathan,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Sandra as well. It's amazing. I've been seeing them reposting
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: all the stories from the shows and hopefully you've gotten
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: your tickets then.
