  Speaker 2: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Good morning. It's officially Friday. Yay!

  Speaker 2: The weekend is here. I'm so happy. Well, here's hoping

  Speaker 2: Please make sure you stay tuned. Singapore's
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: number one hit
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us this morning. Once again, to the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: weather gods, can you stop picking this kind of timing
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: to rain? Because coming to work while it's pouring is,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: is very
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: challenging.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm guessing it's pouring at the east side of Singapore,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: east, central, you know, everywhere
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: because when I left my area of Bishan, it was drizzling.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: But as I drove towards or rather as my my
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: my taxi drove towards the one North area, it was
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: getting heavier. The ground was wet, the usual stretch of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Adam Road always gives me anxiety. So if you're driving
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: down the Adam Road bridge, please make sure you drive safely.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: A slope situation, right, isn't it? And then you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: skids,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: OK, OK, yeah.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just, and you know what, I just get extra paranoid, man.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Like I don't know why, right? Every time it rains
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and I'm driving.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I somehow think of my driving instructor back then. did
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: he or she? I mean, during the exam and stuff,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: like both the return and the practical, they're like, oh,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you know, you can't just let it freewheel, especially when
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: it's wet, of course you will skid. But some people
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: like just take their foot off.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Accelerator or or they're not standing by on the brake,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? People do that, by the way,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: so yeah, it's not uncommon.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: It's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: scary, but please drive extra safe today on your Friday morning.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: When we come back though on the shock circuit, thank
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you very much for covering the fort yesterday. Uh, guess
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: who had a terrible migraine?
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I told the story already, don't worry, so you don't
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: need to repeat it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: When
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I tried to explain it to my mom.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: She just made me laugh after face palming. Found myself
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: asking the exact same question to my mom yesterday. So again,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: yesterday wasn't away. I wasn't around because of a terrible migraine,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: needed to rest, and morning when I woke up to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: tell my mom, oh mom, uh, I was filming something
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: for CNA under the hot sun for quite long hours yesterday,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: so I'm not going to her because I had a
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I have a migraine.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: My mother nods. Oh, OK, so it's for migrant workers.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: What? She doesn't know what migraine is.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: No, I think she misheard me. I was like, Mommy,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I said migraine, not filming for migrant workers.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Oh,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: she
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: thought you were filming something with them,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and I was telling her while I was still having
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that throbbing pain, right? And she goes, Oh, she laughs
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and then proceeds to fade out.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, proceeds to do her own thing.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she probably like just take Panadol lah, son.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: No, no, it's the kind of thing where you need electrolytes,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Panadol as well.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Well, Panadol helps immediately if you want pain relief and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: then yeah, electrolytes because you have to rehydrate, but I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: think the hydration should come during your shoot.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Yes,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: it
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: should.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it will help you a lot,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I think not only when
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you feel it, right.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: If anyone's out there doing sports or, you know, walking
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: under the hot sun, if it gets really hot and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: humid here in Singapore, please be extra careful and hydrate
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: yourselves well. Hello.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Just wanted to ask you a question, OK. Here we go.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: When was the last time you read a book? Hello.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: When was the last time you read a book? Like
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: completed it. No, no, no, it's, it's not meant because
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I know that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: You know, habits have changed over the years. Although, strangely enough,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: book clubs are making a return or a comeback for
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: some reason. I'm not sure whether it was because like
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: during COVID, people started picking up reading again for entertainment,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: but when was the last time you completed a
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: book?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if you remember, I told you
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that this year I try to exercise maybe 20 pages
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of a book before I sleep. I have been doing that,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: but this book is
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Very long. It's actually the albatross file.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, so it puts you to sleep.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: No, no, I, I'll read 20 pages and I'll get
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to maybe say a certain chapter, then I'll put it
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: aside and go to sleep and do the same for tomorrow.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Reading before bed is a great way to like calm
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: your mind down, right? So maybe that's why you've been
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: sleeping better recently.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: A little bit here and there. OK. I mean, I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: surprised that it takes the story of Singapore.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Separation from Malaysia to put me to sleep properly. But,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I've been reading, it's actually very
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: insightful. I mean, but
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: whatever works. I get your mind to calm down's number
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: one hit music station. Sonia and Joakim here with you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: We're about 10 minutes away from opening up phone lines
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to really wake you up this morning, and I feel
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: like today you need it more than ever. Not only
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: is it a Friday, you're already in holiday mood, right?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It might be raining in your area or looking extremely
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: cloudy or windy, which will make it really hard for
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: you to, you know, just wake up to go to
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: school or work.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not too sure when this happened, but I know
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: it's national schools in Singapore. I want to say congratulations
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to St. Andrews. They won the rugby B division.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, of
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: course, the, the rivalry between St. Andrews and ACS
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: is real, real, yeah, yeah, because they're both quite strong, right? rugby, so.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Um, I remember years ago, I did, like I was
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: filming something for Channel 5 and they featured the Saint
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Andrew's rugby team. So I had to go down, I
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: got to see the field and like the training. It
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: was really cool, like, because I guess back in school I,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I wasn't part of any sports.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Did they make you play the sport?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I didn't, didn't fly. I'll be
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the ball. Is that they call it a ball, right?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: There's no special.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: term for it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: OK, it's a ball.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Anyway, um, it's funny because yesterday while you were not here,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Saint Andrew's Junior boy actually called me. Yeah, yeah. So
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: it was, I think this is our 2nd St. Andrew's
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: boy calling us. Yeah, we had one. Yeah, exactly. So anyway, um,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: regardless of what school you're from, and of course, based
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: on some of the texts that we've been getting or
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the comments, even if you've graduated already.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe you just graduated or it's been a few years.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: You want to give a shout out to your alma mater,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you know, your previous school, just give us a call
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: as well. That's completely fine. We hear you and I
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: know that you want to hear a song before you
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: get to work or school this morning. Let's do it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: About to open up phone lines right now. We'd love
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to get your song dedications in as well. Something to
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: maybe perk you up this
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: morning.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yep. So if you're on your way to school, maybe
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: there's a national school.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: games competition or whatsoever, let us know 669-11987. Bonus points
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to you from me if you're on the track and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: field team. Yeah,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: but you were from the track and field team. I was.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: So did you, did you guys win a lot of,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know competitions or anything? The furthest
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: we got to was like the semi-finals. Oh, yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: The furthest I got to was the audience spectator stand.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: OK, I, I say this affectionately. It's very tough to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: compete with your well-known schools in the world of track
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and field, like, for example, Victoria School, Hwa Chong, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know whether does it still happen, but for
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the Hwa Chong track team and cross-country team, they were
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: made to cut very short hair.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: For the aerodynamics.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, actually I think it makes a difference. It
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: definitely does. Well, you know what, um, regardless of whatever
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: CCA you're in or anything you're representing your school for,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: chat with us, tell us, and let us know. 669-11987,

• 8:01
  Speaker 2: so over at your school, aside from the strengths of,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: you know, rugby, as we already know it, what else
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: is there in St. Andrew's that, you know, Joakim and

  Speaker 1: it's uh the other CCA called hockey.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Hockey, OK,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: even though I'm
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in rugby. Well, Liam, congrats to your B division team then,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: but can I ask?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: What's the best thing to have in Saint Andrew's Junior
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Primary canteen? I think
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: it's
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: chicken
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: rice. Oh,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: OK, got me craving for that chili sauce. OK, Liam,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: what song can we get you today and who is
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: it going out to? Can I please have Dynamite by BTS, um,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: my sister and brother. Alright, we got you on that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: So enjoy the song and you have a great day
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: at school, OK? Thank you.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Bye bye. I'm just trying to look at you
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: sideways, but you always side eye me.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: My neck muscles
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: very cramped.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Anyway, um, earlier on I got sidetracked.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sideways. I got sidetracked. Um, I don't know, I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: think we were talking some rubbish off-air and I totally
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: forgot that we were supposed to do this one. We
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: are We are professionals at our jobs. Yes. And I
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: was asking Joe like when was the last time he
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: completed an entire book, right? And I know that a
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: lot of us have the intention of like, OK, I
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: want to read more this year. I want to do this,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I want to do that, right? But
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Um, I think committing to completing a book sometimes can
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: be challenging for people.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Dan Brown. Oh,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that must have been Dan Brown one that I ordered.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my God.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: It's like, OK, so it's not, it's not like the
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Da Vinci Code era. It's like now, a current book,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: is it?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: The Secret of Secrets.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't read that one.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The one that came
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: out last year. I don't mind getting that one. Maybe
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I'll get it on the Currently
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I'm
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: reading The Albatross File. It's a huge book. It's an
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: easy read, but it's a lot of detail to take
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: note and understand. Yeah,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: completely. But I think, you know, when it comes to reading, I,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I actually do treasure that a lot.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Like I do like it. I find myself reading the
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: most when I'm overseas, like when I'm traveling, you know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: on the plane and stuff, right? But I came up
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: with this formula where I will leave a book at home.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I'll leave a book at my partner's home, and I'll
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: leave a book in my car.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Oh wow,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you can books at the
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: same
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: time.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I, I realized that I can do that.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: So I need a break from nonfiction if I'm reading nonfiction.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Then in the car it's like fiction, for example. So
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I have a variety.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Which is why the Singapore Art Books Fair was quite interesting.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, like, you know, they have a lot,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: like a wide variety of different types of things, right? Um, unfortunately,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: they got quite a bit of flak online after they
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: introduced what they call a walking exhibitor option for vendors.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: So when I tell you like, OK, vendors can go
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: display their books and all that or their materials, right,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: you would think, oh they set up shop or they
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: set up like a shelf or a
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Table or nice setup, then they display their books, right? Wait,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: when
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you say walking exhibitor, is it like those roads that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: are coming to you saying,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: oh, are you check it out,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: come to my counter.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, OK, something like this, but the only difference
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: is that they are already holding the books.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: OK, I'm gonna take you to, for example, a sports
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: game right now or like any concert at the sports up.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they come around with the tray, with the snacks
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: with the straps over their shoulders. Yeah, it's a hotdog,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: exactly what they were comparing it to. Yeah. They call
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: it so-called the hotdog vendor, right, because that's what they
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: do at sports games. They carry.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: The tray around to put hot dogs and popcorn and snacks.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Which intern or poly or IT volunteer don't,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: don't anyhow say. I think honestly sometimes like back when
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I was in poly we can come up with better ideas. Um,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: you'd be very surprised. So this concept unfortunately was not
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: taken too kindly.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Um, the public sentiment is like, what are you guys
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: thinking got totally slammed online, by the way. I see. Yes,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I also understand because they said they wanted to try
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: something new to like, you know, have more interaction for,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: you know, um, for them to go around and just
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: like tell people more about their stuff, about their product,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: their materials, their books, you know.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: But I think others are just saying that it's very
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: demeaning for the authors or the artists to walk around
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: like that. Yeah,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: carry a sign that says, hey, if you want nonfiction,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: come to this booth and bring them.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: So in that, in that sense, you're hiring someone to
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: put the ad, like carry the placard for you or something.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, um, look, I, I feel like for,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: for better or worse, this has gotten them a lot
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: of publicity. Great. So maybe people might still go down
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: and check it out anyway.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Um, they've responded to the criticisms and they've acknowledged, you know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: the pros and the cons and all that. Yeah, OK,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: it's something new that we tried. Maybe we can do
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: sharing booths next time, more practical for people. Yeah.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Is
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: it me or is 2026 fast becoming the year of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: memes where we all go viral for the wrong reasons,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: but we gain following in publicity?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Exactly. So do you think this was a strategy or?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Sonia, time for us to have some viral moment together.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Come
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: on. Oh no, I think let's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: cause some problems.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: You know, our very existence on earth here causes our parents'
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: problems already. OK.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: The
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: good kind of problems.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: My mom and dad might speak differently for my um
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: teenage self.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm no, I'm no longer problematic. Yeah, yeah.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Only last time I was problematic idiot. Just want to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: say a big shout out to Zahra Larson. I just
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: saw a viral TikTok video recently where, um, you know,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I haven't personally seen Zara Larson in concert because I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: think she's touring more like not in Asia right now.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: But the way she gives the spotlight to her dancers,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: it's just so endearing and wonderful because sometimes, you know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: you've watched Gaga's shows or like any Taylor's Taylor Swift's
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: shows and all that. They also try to give their
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: crew some attention, right? So they give them a chance
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: to like showcase.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Those
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: are confident.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes. So Zara Larson does that too, but she
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: does it for every one of her dancers and she
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: does like a whole big gesture out of it. It's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: so cute. Can't
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: say
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the same for Lizzo.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: like that one.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: That's a celebrity joke.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: If you know, you know. Yeah,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: anyway, when we come back, Sonia, uh, you know with
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: all that's going on in the world right now, problems
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East and all that, of course, Singapore,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: we're feeling the effects of it, but there is one
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: direction that was released yesterday.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Where I was a little bit confused and thinking to myself,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: aren't we already supposed to do this with or without
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the conflicts?
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: OK, we'll find out what that
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: is.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: OK, with the global conflict happening, Singapore definitely feeling the aftereffects.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's been a very busy week in parliament.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I think yesterday there was news about NTUC freezing the prices,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the prices of 100 items. Yeah,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: so, so these are on the list that people buy
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: most of the time. So like essentials,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: yeah. Doesn't mean go and rush and stock up, ah. No, no, no, no,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: please don't bring back COVID
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: times.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: No, I think this is also meant to help the elderly, right?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Because some of them, you know, they may only go
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: to the supermarket once in a while and they need
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: these essentials.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: OK, so yesterday in the news, there was one very
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: important direction that was released, and I was thinking to myself, hey,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: aren't aren't we supposed to do this already with or
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: without a conflict that's happening around the world? It's involve
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: reducing electricity use and saving power.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: So, uh, government agencies have been directed to reduce electricity
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: consumption across public facilities, and it's something as simple as
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: setting the air conditioning to 25 °C. OK,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: OK, never mind, never mind, I'll keep my opinions to myself. OK,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: wait, wait. Switching off non-essential equipment and have better operating hours.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: For lighting, lifts, and cooling systems, aren't we supposed to
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: be doing this already? Then all the Earth Hour ads.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: What? Only for
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: hour. Yeah, exactly.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Hello,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: only for that hour. OK, um, I can, I can
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: testify for some, you know, condos and stuff. Um, previously,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of condos had air conditioning at
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: many of their lobbies and all that. Um, if I'm
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: not wrong, many of
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Them have either changed it, they turned off the air conditioning,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: or they, you know, have some sort of other ventilation,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: or they have it like automated more of or they
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: switch it off at certain times. For me, an interesting
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: habit that I actually adopted from my dad back then, OK, um,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: he would always turn off, like he would switch off
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: everything like before we leave the house, whereas I know
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: like most people sometimes, you know, you
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Your lights or your charging points on that you would
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: just kind of leave it, you know, because you don't,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: you don't really think about that, right? You're just like, OK,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I'll just leave now. Um, but for my dad, he
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: was very paranoid, like he didn't want like any sort
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: of short circuit or um any trip or whatsoever. So
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: he developed this habit of doing that and I subconsciously
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: developed that, although admittedly, I will say my aircon is
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: not 25 °C. But,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: but you,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you make up for it in other ways.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I, I do, I guess, but I'm also wondering, well,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: this is a question to the powers that be, right?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: If I cannot switch my air-con to 25 degrees consistently,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: what else can I do to cut down?
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Aside from me turning off my switches and stuff before
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I leave, which already helps.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: OK, so by the way, SP Group, you found your
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: poster boy. No, I was gonna say because for me, yes,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: it's a bit of a give and take situation. Yeah,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I know it's ridiculously hot and humid here in Singapore. The,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: the air conditioning, I've tried 25 degrees, it
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: doesn't make much, I guess in a way, right? I'd
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: rather
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: use
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: my fan. It's colder, but it's cooler rather, but.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I think, OK, given how I don't drive and I'm
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: not the kind of person to put things in my
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: house on rest mode, I will turn it off, I'll
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: off all the main powers and all that. In a way,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I feel as if I'm saving my electricity already.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, you are. Well, I mean, you know, I
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: think very soon we'll find out more about how we
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: can contribute to that, in many, many other ways.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: maybe before this crisis, it was just ads and advisories.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Now they are directed, so.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Cannot give any excuse. You must follow. I
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: won't try.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: 25 °C, still very warm, you know.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: And this is the final day that we're running it
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: at $7000. Because
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: next Monday, it will snowball to $8000 to which, again,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I'm saying this, knowing how today is the final day
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of $7000 do you want to win it today or
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: you wait till Monday to snowball to a bigger amount?
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Honestly, if I can get through the phone lines, if
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I'm a listener, and if I could just get through
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: the phone lines today, I'll just give it a chance anyway.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: So again, I'm gonna stand up now and look at
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the whiteboard that we have. Please don't say clicking of
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: a pen, typewriter, scissors, stapler, hole puncher, signal stick, and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I think this might have been added by Avery because
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: he's the only other guy I can think of that'll
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: get frustrated with all these repeated guesses.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Gas stove, yeah, yeah, yeah, I see it, um.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, while you were not here, I think the answer
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that was given was a um a clicker, like the,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: the one where you count people, you know. What do
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: you call that? I don't know the official term for it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Something like that, yeah. So, hey, um, these have been eliminated.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Wait for the queue to call and then you stand
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: your chance to get to the phone lines.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: 87
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: secret.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: What's that sound
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: What's your name?
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: You got through the phone lines.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Gigi.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Gigi, good morning, Gigi. You sound like you've been listening
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and tuning in to all the shows to eliminate the answers.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Am I right? Yes, yes,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I have. Alright, Gigi,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: we have high hopes for you.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: People have been playing this game for the past 6
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: to 7 weeks and now it's down to you to
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: win 7.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: $1000. What's your confidence level? 8, I think.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Wow, 8 out of 10. OK, I'll take it. I've
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: got a question then. How did you narrow down your answer?
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Don't tell us your answer yet. I'm going to play
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: the sound for you one more time, but how did
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: you narrow it down? What was your process? It's just
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: listening to the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: other answers that people have been giving and it just
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: doesn't sound.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Like the sound that you've been
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: playing, and I have this answer in my head, but
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I'm
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: also not sure if it is, but I'm pretty confident
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: that it is, so I don't know. Alright, you know what?
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Keep that confidence and listen to the sound one more time.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: For $7000 what is 987's secret sound? I think it's
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the opening and closing
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: of a butterfly
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: comb. The opening and closing of a butterfly comb is
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: your final answer. Yes. Let's find out.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: You are incorrect.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Your chance to play 987's secret sound continues.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: that
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Gigi, we're so sorry. So according to boss Janice, nobody
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: has guessed this before, but it is not the answer
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: we're looking for.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Gigi, we actually would have loved for you to win it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: You sounded so confident.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Can I
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: also read to you a further response? Yes, please. What's
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the butterfly comb? The yap hair thingy? Yes.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: No, it's like a, it's like a toy.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I think most play it's supposed to be like a,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: like
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: a
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: knife,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: but then, OK, I know which one. Yeah, yeah, it's
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: not the answer,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: but that was very creative and you know what, you
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: have made it into the big grand draw that's happening tomorrow.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, that's some consolation there. We'll catch you at
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: the big grand draw and keep trying, OK? Thank you.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: So one guess win.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Uh, please stay right here though, because the treats don't
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: end on the shock circuits. Coming up right after 8 a.m.

  Speaker 1: OK, I can give you a spoiler now. OK. Today's
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: song title, I want to focus on the song Best Friend.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: This is because I just told you something,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: is it? Yes.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Alright, I feel we should bring this on 987 involving
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: you as always.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Sometimes like when we are chatting off-air, you know, um,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: you know, certain inspo for like topics could come out
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: of nowhere for content, right, because our content is all
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: based on real life and this one is based off
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: um something that's coming up very soon, and I'll tell
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: you more, and I think I know why Joakim is.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Gonna have a really good laugh.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Can I
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: just say I'm very sad. I'm not invited to this.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I'm very sad.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Don't be dramatic, OK. To our listeners, if you're tuning
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: in now, the moment I tell you what it is
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: after 8:00 a.m., you will understand why Joakim is not invited, right? OK,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: and you will be on my side, I promise. About
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: to open up the phone lines, I can feel Joakim
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: is not very happy with me right now.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I'm very sad.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like I should be invited to these things
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: with you. Why not?
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: OK,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: to our listeners right now, you hear me out. Let's go.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: It's my bachelorette party. Why is Joakim there?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I'm your best
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: girlfriend. You're not,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: you're not. You're joking. You're not Joanna.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I'm Jokim by day, Joanne by night. Just give me
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a wig and I'll be there. I'll show up,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: right, because that's all it takes to transform you to
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Joanna or Joanne, right?
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Joe, I need to tell you this. I've seen you
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: in um a female's outfit before because we dressed up
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: for Halloween and I look good. It was not, oh, OK.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm confident. OK, I'm confident of my sexuality.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I know, but that doesn't mean that my eyes won't
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: go sore, you know what I mean? Hey, hey, hey, bro,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: you took my, my leggings, and it could never go
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: back again. OK, so it's yours, right? I don't know
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: where you kept it. Did it rip? I'm not sure.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: If I was a girl. Oh God,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: here we go.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Novita. Oh my God.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Or who else? Let me think. All, all your fitness girlies, yes,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I'll be playing peddle and golf
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: This is a little too much, OK. I don't know
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: what you've been thinking in your free time, but it
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: seems like you put a lot of thought into this.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Should I be worried?
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: OK, so here we are, here we are. My girlfriends
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: are very scattered. Like they're, they're made up of, um,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: small groups of maybe like 3 or 4 girls in
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: each group, and I've met them throughout different times of
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: my life, right? Poly, uni, and then my adult girlfriends,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: like girlfriends that I met in my adult life, post, post-grad, OK.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: And um they kind of all know each other in
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: a way like they've met before through parties or maybe
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: they crossed paths at my birthday or whatever, right? And
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: you've met all of them.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Um, it is quite rare to have all my girlfriends
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: in one place because some of them don't even live
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: here in Singapore, but the fact that they're already back
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: in SG because my wedding's happening soon, um, they decided
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: to come back earlier to like visit friends and family.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: So I decided, you know what, let's just do the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: bachelorette party in Singapore. Why am I not there? You're
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: not one of my girlfriends. Stay
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: away.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Stop it. Stop self-inviting.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Or will
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I be there?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm not telling you when or where it's
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: happening
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: as the exotic dancer.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: That would mean they have no budget after the dinner.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: If Joakim shows up, means they blew their budget on dinner, OK,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: because this one free one crying in the studio.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: OK, give us a call 669-11987. All throughout this week,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: we're inspired by Leve's song titles. Best Friends. Yes, to
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: open up conversations. OK. So if you've ever been in
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: this situation where, you know, your friends are going to
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: throw you a party, let's say your bachelorette or your
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: stag night or it doesn't even need to be that,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: it could be a special birthday or whatever. Is there
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: something that you would really want to experience during this party?
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Because people always think like, oh, you know,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Um, your bachelorette or your stag night, this is the
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: last time that you are, um, a single person, right,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: before you get married to one person for the rest
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: of your life. That, that's the perception, right? Do you
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: have something in mind like off your bucket list that
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: you want to do with your friends before
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: you get married?
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have the most boring. I wouldn't bowling.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Oh my God,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: a steak dinner, Guinness, football. I'm done.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I'm happy. Actually, you know, the funny thing is there's
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: always a big difference between like the men and women
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: celebrates and bachelorette. I feel, I feel
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: just put on FIFA and I'll play. Oh
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: my God, something else, something else. Do something different for once.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: OK, I'll book out a movie cinema and I play FIFA.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: At least I know what to do next time when
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: your bros ask me what to do for your stag night.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I'll let them know. No, I will uninvite myself. I'm
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: not meant to be there, just like how you're not
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: meant to be at the Bachelorette. OK. End of story.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: End of story. I'm gonna turn your mic.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Give us a call 669-11987. Tell us, what do you
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: really want to experience at a party your friends might throw.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: By the way,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Novita Lam is tuned in. Oh my God. She was laughing,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: saying if you were a girl,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: call us right now. Um, just have a good laugh
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: this morning. And the question based off Leve's song titles,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: because this, by the way, is the final pair of
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Lebe concert tickets this week that we're giving out. You
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: can only get it on the short circuit thanks to
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: our friends over at UOB.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: And the question today is, seeing how my bachelorette weekend
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: is coming up very soon.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Um, Joakim was wondering firstly why he wasn't invited. Second,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: to which I'm like,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: you're
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: not
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: one of
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: my
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: girlfriends. Hang on, before anyone thinks I'm really childish, guys,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I know it's a bachelorette night. I'm just being dramatic
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: here on 987
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: he wants to be it. And uh the question to
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: you is, if your friends were gonna throw you a
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: bachelorette night or a stag night or just a party
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: in general, what is one thing that you want to
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: experience for sure?
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: one coming in from Desmond.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I was avoiding to say this word on 987, but he,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: his text reads, Joakim doesn't need to be dressed as
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: a female to be at Sonya's bachelorette party. He can
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: be there as the stripper.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: This 15
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: dollars budget.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I'm honestly a little terrified. I hope that it's not
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: gonna happen.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Can you give me my dance moves worth that much?
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Don't ask. You know what my answer is, Joe. You're,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: you're asking for it.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: OK, one coming in from KB who says, how about this,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the reverse bachelor night, bachelor night. Can their fiances take
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: it or not, knowing what the bros
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: might be doing?
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Interestingly, um, Jeremy has already gone for his bachelor weekend,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: quite a while back actually. His bros arranged one overseas.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: So I was like, oh yeah, my friends, we never
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: arranged because it's so difficult to get us together, right?
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Um, they managed to arrange a a bit of a
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: smaller group, but they already went. And you know what,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I just said I'm not gonna ask, like I don't
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: want to know what's going on or like, you know, I'm,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: I'm fine. I'm chill, just go have your fun. And
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: to be fair, he updated me and called me every day,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: but
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: it's
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: all the boundaries of the relationship too extravagant,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. Yeah, but even so, it's like,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know lah, it's fine. Can
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I, can
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I be I'm OK. Can I be honest with you.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: If I were to have a fiance in the future
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: and she tells me that she's going for a bachelorette party, yeah,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I actually might worry a lot. Don't be worried. No,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: you know why? OK, and this I think could be
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: too much tea for us here at 987. 0,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: is it tea
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: that I know? Uh,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: not, not that you know, but maybe you might have
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: had a similar situation happened to a friend of yours before. OK.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I had a friend, had a friend who on her
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: bachelorette night, OK.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Some
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: some hanky panky happened with the male stripper. That's all
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. Again, it's one of those things where
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: you can either choose to whatever happens there stays there
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: or the news just spreads.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Wait, so did they stay together
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: till this day,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know whether her husband know.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, OK, this is I'm not gonna be the one
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: to tell because I don't know.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't, don't get involved in that.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: OK,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: this is, this is a conversation for like off-air la,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: I think. I mean, I don't know how to balance the,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: the thoughts out when it comes to this because a
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: part of me is like, you know what, like I just,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I don't need to know because you have your stack
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: and I have my bachelorette weekend, then it's fine as
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: long as we know that we're our heads in the
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: right place.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Again, just in case to save myself here, this kind
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: of behavior is.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Genderless. Oh
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: yeah, it happens both ways. It could, yeah, there you go.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Anyway, um, back to more messages. We're gonna get to
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: calls in just a bit.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: You had one more
• 31:04

• 31:18
  Speaker 2: That one's still quite budget. We're on the topic of
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: whether or not you have something in mind. Let's say
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: if your friends are throwing you a bachelorette party or
• 31:25

• 31:43
  Speaker 1: memorable video. The rest is up to your imagination.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that would be hilarious. I mean, look,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: if you know your friend that well, if you know
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: your friend can take a joke and will appreciate it,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: by all means.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Another one coming in from Rachel. Rachel has a job
• 31:58

• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Come lah. Go ahead.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Exclusive club.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: OK, I will support. What you call the club.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Why are you gonna call the cop? I don't know.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Like subscribers only
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: kind of thing,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: is it? Like if I have a group of men,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: the bro.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: No, please. OK, your, your goal is to find a girlfriend,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: not repel them, you know.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: There's a Joakim, Joseph, and Jonathan. Pick your Joe.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Woo! Pick your Jay. Which Jay do you want?
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Talking about what you would still want to experience if
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: your friends could throw you a bachelorette or stag night.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: What's one thing that you still want to experience before you,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: you know, go into a new chapter of your life,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: all inspired by Lee Wei's songs
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: this week. Got a text coming in from Dee. I
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: realized when it comes to bachelorette or bachelor parties, it's
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: always the sisters or brothers having more fun than the
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: bride and groom.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Because they're usually bonked up from all the alcohol in
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: the earlier
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: half,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: True, which is why I said like, hey guys, like
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: let's take it easy because I still want to remember
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: the dinner at least. Say good
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: morning to Frederick on WhatsApp as well. Hey Sonia and Joakim.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: My bachelor's party stag night was at Bali. Oh, I
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: could not remember half of it, because even before we
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: got to the club, I was knocked
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: out.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Amen. OK, so in return, right, during your wedding itself,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure he's had his wedding already, these
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: bros will have to do the favor back. That means
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: they will have to tank the drinks on his wedding
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: day for the gate crashing. Ah, well, I'm not doing that,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: but I think in general, like after party or whatever, um,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: so far, a lot of my friends whom I've attended weddings,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: their weddings.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they actually assign some brothers and sisters to help
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: them drink. If not, you will not remember your day.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know how this started, but you know, when
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: it comes to your birthdays or anniversaries or bachelor or
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: bachelorette parties, right, when, when did it become a thing
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: to get the main person drunk and chao and all that?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: think you should ask your parents because they probably started
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: way back.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: It is, it is universal across generations, joking.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: want to
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: remember
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: these things. I know, I know. You know the funny
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: thing is like in the past, right, I remember 18th birthday,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: someone will buy like 18 shots and then everyone will share, right?
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: But as the years increase, I think cannot really.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: After 18, it's like, please let's just not do that.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I cannot
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: even afford a tray of shots now at that point. Anyway,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I want to say good morning to Perlin. Perlin goes, Hey,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Joakim, what I really want to do with
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: my friends is host a massive twister party. Oh,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: OK, like games.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: It's been ages since I last played it, but it's
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: a perfect balance between having fun and the physical demand.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Now that we are all older now, playing Twister would
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: have a different twist too, pun intended.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Girl, don't, don't injure
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: yourself. Make sure you stretch before playing the game.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Stop sounding like an
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: uncle. Today's song is Best Friend. So if your best
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: friend were to be throwing you a party, for example,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: maybe your stag night or your bachelorette night or maybe
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: just a random birthday party, what is one thing that
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: you want to experience? OK,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: so the running joke for the past 45 minutes is
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I might show up to Sonia's No, you're bachelorette party
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: as the dancer they hire
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: because I'm not telling you when and where.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: I will find out somehow we have girl code. You're
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: not gonna find out.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I want to say good morning to Hima and Hema goes, Hey,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: good morning guys. I'm going through my happy divorce. Oh, Joakim,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: can I book you for my divorce party? Please prepare
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: some good moves. Would 1.5K be good?
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Not bad, rates already, but just now I hate to
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: break it to you, he was asking for $5000 so.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know if 1.5k.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I'll be bartender.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: OK lah. I don't know. I've never seen you make
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: a cocktail before. I'm not sure if you can do
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: that you never will. Now, this is our final pair
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: of Leve concert tickets this week.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Happening over at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, May 19th, and
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: these pair of tickets are the cat 3 ones worth
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: $436 in total. And

  Speaker 2: sound is going to be.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Beautiful. Um, she will have lovely vocals as always. So
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: this is an experience you don't want to miss.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Cannot
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: wait to see whether she play the cello, the piano.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I think she will. Will she bring out her sister again,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: twin with a place like um the venue, I think
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: she'll definitely have a lot more going on on stage. OK. Yeah,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: so we're looking forward to it, but only one person
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: can win today.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Let's give
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: it to Perlin who texted us earlier.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Hey, congratulations. We really enjoyed your story. Um, now to
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: catch up with everyone's hilarious responses, please go check out
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Me Listen, and Spotify after the show. But a big
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: shout out to our friends who at UOB. They're the

• 37:42
  Speaker 1: text.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: But what she wants to do for a bachelorette party
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: got me thinking, when was the last time I played Twister?
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Wow, I don't remember, to be honest. It's been a
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: long time since I've played any game.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Whenever I
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: play it, I'm always the first to get eliminated because
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I'll lose my balance.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Your, your flexibility
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: it's quite bad.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Coming up for food news in just.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: A little bit. There is a place that I think you, you, you,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: you go there quite a bit for your burger fix.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: I think
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: McDonald's.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: No, no, aside from McDonald's. No, name a few more.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Burger King. No,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: no, my
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: burger.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you've mentioned this before and we've talked about it before.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Bot Jones.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: No, burger burger. Think about burgers. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Like Shake Shack.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, it took me a while, sorry.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: I was like, how is this not happening because Joe,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: you've mentioned Shake Shack a number of times and I
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: think we've eaten there together before. Yes, we have, we
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: have a number of times actually.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Um, in just a few minutes, find out what our
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: friends over at Shake Shack are up to, because as
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: you know, every few months they make the news with
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: some sort of collaboration. Um, not too long ago, they
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: actually partnered up with a Korean restaurant to create a,
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: a Korean style burger, and this was like, um, the
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: owners of Nam and Goom, if you recall this, a
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: couple of months back really. So find out who's their
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: latest partner and what they're up to in just a bit.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Which region? Give us a hint. You
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: mean in in terms
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: of Asia, Europe,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: America in Singapore. Singapore, Singapore. You know, with Shake Shack,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: they try to localize it quite a bit. So they
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: will definitely work with someone from Singapore. Violet. Actually that
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: sounds like quite a good idea, but it's not. I
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if that happens though.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: 0123, news, news.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Sonia with the good food news. Give it to us,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Miss Chuw. Yeah,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: so earlier on, I got you to guess which burger
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: joint started a new collaboration and Joakim finally guessed Shake Shack. Yes,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: you're right. Um, they're quite known for partnering up with
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: restaurants here in Singapore to create, um, a limited edition burger, right?
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Previously it was a Korean one. They partnered with our
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: friends who own Goom and Naum to create a Korean burger.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: I hope it's very good. This time around, I believe
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: they're partnering.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Um, a hotel, uh, not a hotel, a restaurant over
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: at Raffles Hotel. Not sure whether you've been there before.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Butcher's Block. Have you heard of it? Yeah, you have, right?
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: They're quite famous. So they're creating these limited edition burgers
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: that have a hint of Hawaiian inspiration as well, because
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I believe the chef is from there. Um, he's a
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Hawaii born. His name is Jordan.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: And they developed a very special menu. I think you're
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: gonna love it because it's going to have wood-fired smoked
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: sauce and premium meats in their burger.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: My close friends, Iggy, Cheryl, and Mindy actually brought me
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: there in the year 2020 when the.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: COVID restrictions were lifted to groups of 5.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: We had
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: my birthday meal over there.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, nice. So you remember the place did you like
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: the food? It was good? Not good. So, so do
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: expect for the collaboration, things like the Aloha shack where
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: there's bits of Hawaiian culture and a bit of like
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: American culture as well.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Um, but also they wanted to make sure that Singapore
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: is still highlighted as an amazing food scene. So I
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: think there's a lot of inspiration and ideas that went
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: into this
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: something
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: known as the Aloha shack. I'm guessing it's a slice
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: of pineapple in there,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: yeah, must be. Um, so for the menu, first you
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: have the barbecue smokehouse shack. This is a beef burger
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: with barbecue ketchup. Oh my God, I'm there for that.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: I love ketchup mayonnaise, pickled jalapeno, red.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Onions, cheese blends with Hawaiian touches. So I think their
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: meat smoking techniques is something to look out for.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: So if this Shake Shack collaboration is a small preview
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: of what the butcher's block actually is, go for a
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: meal over at Butcher's Block. I recommend. So
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's a win-win for both sides, to be honest,
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: you know, you get a taste of both, and I
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: think they only have a one-day exclusive at Raffles Hotel Singapore,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: the Shackapore dog.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Like Singapore, but Shakapore. Yes, hotdog, um, but they're available
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: on the 25th of April, so you can still um
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: lock your date in.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: And it'll be super delicious. I think you can grab
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: it and enjoy it at the lawn as well.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Just remember, it's pronounced Shake Shack, not Shake Shack.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Shake Shack Shagapore sounds a
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: bit.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Difficult
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: to say. I want to
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: say congratulations to our friends over at Channel
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: 8. Channel 8, yeah, OK,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: because of one drama. Oh.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: They've caused a bit of an international incident, inverted commas
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: in Malaysia, that's OK. So apparently in this drama, the
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: drama depicts Malaysia as a base for a scam syndicate.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: So some people in charge of organizations in Malaysia and associations,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: they're not too happy with it, saying.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: OK, you all should pay attention to this drama and
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: don't air it anymore. The the writer has come out
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: to clarify, saying we know that scams don't just happen
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: in Malaysia, and we even said that the scammers actually
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: from other countries, they set up base in Malaysia, OK,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: so this one is up in the air still, but
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: if there were to be a drama series about whatever
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: happens in Batam.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: If you want to know where I'm going with this,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: stay with us here on the show. Full details coming
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: your way. And
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: that one
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: unfortunately is a real story. That's legit legit taking you
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: to Batam right now. Yeah,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: so if
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: our friends over at Channel 8 were to write a
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: series about people getting fined in Batam for interesting reasons,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I guess it's a fact because it's in the news
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: and
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Ever since that one couple that got fined for apparently
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: open inverted commas jumping the queue when they didn't,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: when was that again?
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: I forgot.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Quite
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: a few weeks
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: back. Was this Batam as
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: well Batam, yeah, so apparently the officers who were involved
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: all fired. Oh, done. Yeah, now there are other people
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: come out and say, hey, we also actually paid $200
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: for some weird reasons, but this one particular one.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Very hard to escape.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: You know,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: in immigration queues, you cannot use your phone? Yeah,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: of course, you're not allowed. Yeah, yeah.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: They they got fined for using their phones. The kids
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: were using their phones. So I guess, uh, you
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: know. OK, OK, hold on. Um, I'm waiting in immigration,
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: people are still using phones.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: But when you're at the
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: booth at the booth
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not too sure because there's no CCTV whatsoever. But yeah,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: you know, when you're going to places where you know
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: sometimes you can be a little bit suss or
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: dodgy,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: I know, but I guess it's more of like maybe
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: from the POV it's like, but they're just kids, you know,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: they're just kids, but then again.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: As parents, future parents, next time maybe, it might be
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: our responsibility. Perhaps that's how they're seeing it.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: So that's how all of us here in Singapore, we
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: love to go to Bali and rent a scooter and
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: all that, right? Please don't donate to the Bali police force.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Make sure you wear a helmet, even though it's nasty.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: If it's really nasty, go and buy one
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: don't.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Don't give yourself a reason to get into trouble.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: tourists and say, hey, where's your helmet, pay a fine.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Just a quick clarification, um, the parents were saying that
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: his children were using the phones to fill out the
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: immigration card, the digital immigration card. So that's their defense,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: saying that they're not using the phone to take photo
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: or anything like that. So.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know how else they're going to look into it,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: but many similar cases recently where, you know, officials have
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: resigned and all that. So,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: please don't, don't give them a reason to get money
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: out
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: of you. Just have a good trip, you know, yeah.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: So whenever I go for runs here in Singapore, usually
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I'll do it in Bishan or maybe the CBD area
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: of mine or stadium Kallang and then sometimes from Changi
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: all the way to Marina Bay. I'll pass by East
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Coast and I'll see the.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Nice bay shore area. But yesterday, a friend of mine
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: told me saying, Hey, let me show you a nice
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: route from Serangoon going towards Punggol Coast.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, how far is that?
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: It's about 11
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: km.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, OK, not as bad as I thought.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: It felt further because it was a very nice straight.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: So you're running straight. But I must say, once we
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: passed Tampines Road for about maybe a good 8 km,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: there was no traffic lights, and the views of Punggol
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: coast of all the new BTOs and.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: On the right side of those forested areas,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: undeveloped.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: It's actually very nice.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: So are you thinking that maybe this is an area
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: that you might like for
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: for all those people that say, Punggol Coast, Punggol, it's
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: actually very nice and the amenities they have there serving
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: the Punggol residents,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: yeah,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: it's actually a lot.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I think they have to because it is a
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: fact that my, I have friends who live there. I
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: have aunties who live in that area too. It is
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: a fact that it may take a little bit longer
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: to get to places, but
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: The fact that now there are way more BTOs coming up.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of young couples, you know, moving in,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: there has to be more amenities. So they, I wouldn't
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: be surprised if they build more train stations, malls, and
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: things like that. And for
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Punggol Coast MRT station, it's right below where SIT is,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: and there's Punggol Coast Mall. It reminds me of Holland village.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: They have their own community there.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: It's a very nice layout. So
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: you know what they say, right? Like people who live
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: in certain areas like that,
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Amenities are all up and running. You may not even
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: see them in town anymore.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I ran there at night, I want to
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: go back in the daytime for Coney Island.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Have
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: you never been to a loop in Coney Island and
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: see what
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: happens. OK. I mean, I've been to Coney Island, not
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: to run, just to take a look and have dinner there.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: That was quite nice. So
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Punggol and Punggol Coast. This is your flowers. We're giving
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: it to you here on 987.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe you might see Job himself from Bishan go there next.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Let's see, let's see what happens. Thank you for joining
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: us this week. We hope you had a good one
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: and whatever it is you're up to over the weekends,
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: just treasure the sleep and the
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: time.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: And if you're taking part in the big grand draw,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: all the best. I really hope you win
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: something.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially if you qualify during our show, we
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: wish you good luck. Um, tomorrow we will not be there,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: but I believe, um, it might be Anne Nicole and
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Natasha who might be on ground actually, if I'm not wrong,
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: if I'm not wrong.
