- 0:03Speaker 1: Wake up
- 0:04Speaker 1: Good
- 0:06Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonnya
- 0:09Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circus. You know what, it's
- 0:12Speaker 1: gonna be a bit of a start stop week given
- 0:14Speaker 1: how we had Monday and Tuesday, then yesterday is a
- 0:17Speaker 1: public holiday, Thursday today, and then tomorrow it's Friday, the
- 0:22Speaker 1: start of the June holidays, and one more public holiday
- 0:25Speaker 1: coming our way. Singapore's number one hit music station.
- 0:31Speaker 1: On this Thursday after a public holiday, you know what's
- 0:34Speaker 1: really hard to do? It's to wake up after a
- 0:36Speaker 1: public holiday that falls in the middle of the week,
- 0:40Speaker 1: and then you realize it's raining.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Double the effort or maybe quadruple the effort. So if
- 0:47Speaker 1: you're waking up this morning going to work as well
- 0:49Speaker 1: as school for 2 more days, at least for school
- 0:52Speaker 1: before the school holidays starts, sending you all the love
- 0:55Speaker 1: and energy you need. Not to worry, you got me
- 0:58Speaker 1: for company, hoping to energize you on this Thursday and
- 1:02Speaker 1: tomorrow as well. But I have this feeling, loads of
- 1:06Speaker 1: offices here in Singapore could be quite empty.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Because according to the news, as we predicted, loads of
- 1:12Speaker 1: Singaporeans traveling overseas, they took today and tomorrow leave, so
- 1:17Speaker 1: they have an extra long weekend to maybe even go
- 1:20Speaker 1: to places like Bangkok, Japan, Korea, or even Europe. Gonna
- 1:24Speaker 1: feel like your social studies teacher for a while. And
- 1:28Speaker 1: just in case, yesterday was Hari Raya Haji.
- 1:32Speaker 1: It is different from Hari Raya Kwassa. No, it is
- 1:36Speaker 1: not the Muslim New Year and all that. And just
- 1:39Speaker 1: to touch on religion for a bit, the meaning behind
- 1:43Speaker 1: Hari Raya Hajji, some might call it the great day
- 1:47Speaker 1: of sacrifice, and if you're a Christian or Catholic, if
- 1:50Speaker 1: you were to look to the Old Testament,
- 1:53Speaker 1: You know the story of Abraham and Isaac where God
- 1:57Speaker 1: told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and at the last moment,
- 2:01Speaker 1: God stops Abraham saying, you know, because you obey me,
- 2:04Speaker 1: your family will be taken care of. Instead of Isaac,
- 2:07Speaker 1: please find a goat.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Yeah, in, in the Quran, it's Ibrahim and Ishmael. It's
- 2:14Speaker 1: very similar and um uh for, for the Muslims, Allah
- 2:19Speaker 1: then instructed Ishmael and Ibrahim to build a stone pillar
- 2:25Speaker 1: that is now known as the.
- 2:26Speaker 1: bar in the great mosque in Mecca. This is where
- 2:29Speaker 1: all Muslims face to pray. So I just went to
- 2:33Speaker 1: MOE's website and I checked the dates for the school holidays,
- 2:38Speaker 1: May 30th to June 28th, Sunday. Please
- 2:45Speaker 1: I can hear you cheering. I can hear you looking
- 2:47Speaker 1: forward to it. Make sure you get all the rest
- 2:50Speaker 1: that you can before you take on, take on, rather,

- 5:46Speaker 1: son a football fan as well? Oh, he's a young man, man,
- 5:49Speaker 1: primary 4, but my eldest son, yes. Alright, so if
- 5:53Speaker 1: you win this Lego edition football ball, I'm guessing you
- 5:56Speaker 1: and your two sons will do it together. Yes, man. OK.
- 6:00Speaker 1: How do you think your World Cup knowledge is, my friend?
- 6:03Speaker 1: Good or not so good?
- 6:05Speaker 1: Oh, so, so already. So, so, OK lah, I'll do
- 6:09Speaker 1: my best to help you. Are you ready for the quiz? Yeah, man. Remember,
- 6:13Speaker 1: you must get all 3 correct. Here we go. Isa,
- 6:18Speaker 1: your very first question. How many times have France won
- 6:23Speaker 1: the World Cup? Is it A, 2, or is it B, 4?
- 6:28Speaker 1: Wow, uh, 22 is absolutely correct. That's the first one down.
- 6:35Speaker 1: The second question, how many qualified nations make up the
- 6:40Speaker 1: group stages for this World Cup? Is it A, 32
- 6:45Speaker 1: or B 48? 48. 48 is absolutely correct. OK, the
- 6:51Speaker 1: next question involves a bit of listening power. Are you ready, Izza?
- 6:56Speaker 1: Yeah. Which country does this national anthem belong to? Listen
- 7:01Speaker 1: very carefully.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Izzard, what's the answer?
- 7:18Speaker 1: Wow, that's difficult, man. Here's a hint.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Portugal is absolutely.
- 7:28Speaker 1: 3. Isa, congratulations, my friend, walking away with the Lego
- 7:33Speaker 1: editions football. Enjoy the World Cup season and enjoy building
- 7:38Speaker 1: this with your sons and Isa, your prediction, who's gonna
- 7:41Speaker 1: win the World Cup?
- 7:42Speaker 1: Well, I think he's here, man. I'm a Ronaldo friend, man.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Pug girl. OK, so get familiar with the national anthem. OK.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Take care, my friend. Take care. And on stage she
- 7:54Speaker 1: was saying how we are her favorite crowd ever here
- 7:57Speaker 1: in Asia, and I think she said that.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Before she went to the Philippines. Look, I've been to
- 8:04Speaker 1: the Philippines at least once in my life and I've
- 8:07Speaker 1: seen videos. I've been to an arena where they just
- 8:10Speaker 1: sing out loud and to have a concert in the Philippines,
- 8:14Speaker 1: if you're an artist, or you're gonna be pampered by
- 8:18Speaker 1: a nation known.
- 8:20Speaker 1: To be able to sing any song you throw their way.
- 8:23Speaker 1: So congratulations to Lewe on the success she has found
- 8:27Speaker 1: here in Asia and all over the world. So, given
- 8:31Speaker 1: how today is 28th of May 2026, if you're in
- 8:34Speaker 1: the car on your way to work or maybe even
- 8:37Speaker 1: sending your kids to school, or if you're going to
- 8:39Speaker 1: school today as well, sending you love, not to worry,
- 8:42Speaker 1: we've got one more public holiday happening next Monday, but
- 8:45Speaker 1: maybe
- 8:45Speaker 1: Take the next 5 minutes to do this pertaining to
- 8:50Speaker 1: this year's National Day Parade. You can ballot for tickets
- 8:54Speaker 1: up till June 6th. I repeat, June 6th, the final
- 8:59Speaker 1: day to ballot for tickets. So why do it at
- 9:01Speaker 1: the last minute? Do it now, because for the national stadium,
- 9:05Speaker 1: according to the media releases and the events that we've
- 9:08Speaker 1: been seeing on social media,
- 9:11Speaker 1: We can host to about 42,000 people per show. So
- 9:17Speaker 1: there are the national education shows which are strictly reserved
- 9:19Speaker 1: for the primary 5s and maybe limited audience members who
- 9:23Speaker 1: get tickets, and then preview one, preview two, and the
- 9:28Speaker 1: actual day on National Day itself. So you can ballot
- 9:31Speaker 1: for preview one, preview two on National Day. You can
- 9:34Speaker 1: choose from 24, or 6 tickets.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Whether you're a Singapore citizen or permanent resident, use your
- 9:40Speaker 1: SingPass and log on to the official site, NDP.gov.sg. I repeat,
- 9:48Speaker 1: it is NDP.gov.sg. Any other site, it's a scam. Don't.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere else. And by the way, if you
- 9:58Speaker 1: successfully ballot for these tickets, come for the show. Come early.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Don't
- 10:03Speaker 1: Put it up for sale on Carousel or any other
- 10:05Speaker 1: resale platforms. It is not allowed and your tickets are numbered,
- 10:10Speaker 1: so if they see it online being resold for money,
- 10:14Speaker 1: they can do a simple check and go, alright, this
- 10:17Speaker 1: person is guilty of an offense. So, yeah. Anyway, I'm
- 10:20Speaker 1: gonna break some rules here.
- 10:23Speaker 1: I'm very sure if Boss Genice is tuned in, I
- 10:26Speaker 1: might get a text saying, hey, why are you playing
- 10:28Speaker 1: this now? But to just entice you to go ballot
- 10:31Speaker 1: for your NDP tickets right now, can I play you
- 10:34Speaker 1: a song that turns 10 as of this year from 2016.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Here is 53A, a very good NDP song this one.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Tomorrow's here today. Go ballot for your tickets. All the best.
- 10:49Speaker 1: with Chom right here on 987, your number one hit
- 10:52Speaker 1: music station.
- 10:53Speaker 1: If you're wondering when they'll be here in our country,
- 10:55Speaker 1: November twenty-eighth at the indoor stadium. I believe tickets will
- 10:58Speaker 1: be made available soon, so all the best because that
- 11:01Speaker 1: day will be a huge day for K-pop fans, not
- 11:05Speaker 1: only uh Baby Monster in town, Le Seraphim as well.
- 11:09Speaker 1: So good luck taking your pick. I already know of
- 11:12Speaker 1: some people on threads and on Instagram stories complaining, saying,
- 11:17Speaker 1: why are they being held on the same day here
- 11:20Speaker 1: in Singapore? There you go.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Anyway, for us Singaporeans, like my previous example, we are
- 11:27Speaker 1: definitely a vocal bunch. If our voices don't get heard
- 11:30Speaker 1: in person, you know, you can almost guarantee we'll take
- 11:35Speaker 1: it to social media. Whether on Facebook comment section, that
- 11:38Speaker 1: that's the place now to go.
- 11:40Speaker 1: And then you have your Instagram, you have TikTok. I
- 11:43Speaker 1: didn't know this, but even LinkedIn could, could be a
- 11:46Speaker 1: place where people voice their displeasure as well and tag
- 11:50Speaker 1: the relevant people. So apparently there was this one man
- 11:53Speaker 1: who posted on LinkedIn saying,
- 11:55Speaker 1: I wonder what's wrong with DBS Bank Singapore. Neither their
- 12:01Speaker 1: customer care nor their app development team seems to be
- 12:04Speaker 1: sincere about fixing issues. He goes on to list the
- 12:07Speaker 1: issues and the amount of time that he's been facing
- 12:10Speaker 1: this particular issue, and he tags the CEO of DBS herself, Ms.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Tan Sushan.
- 12:19Speaker 1: I wonder whether was this guy expecting a response or
- 12:23Speaker 1: reply from the CEO herself, but while on a plane,
- 12:28Speaker 1: Miss Tan Su Shan actually replied saying, and I'm paraphrasing here,
- 12:32Speaker 1: my team are checking on it. I'm currently on a plane. Wow! That, that,
- 12:37Speaker 1: that's like me voicing my displeasure or my comments to Apple,
- 12:42Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Tim Cook replies to me directly.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I, I don't know whether I get goosebumps, will I
- 12:48Speaker 1: get scared, or will I go, OK, my, my job done.
- 12:51Speaker 1: The issue is now known to the CEO. It'll definitely
- 12:54Speaker 1: get fixed in record time. So, in, in response to
- 12:57Speaker 1: the CEO's reply, the man said, thank you so much
- 13:00Speaker 1: for the quick response. Apologies for escalating it here.
- 13:04Speaker 1: As even with the long periods of waiting for customer
- 13:07Speaker 1: care to pick up the call, I neither got it
- 13:10Speaker 1: resolved nor the emails they told they would send to
- 13:13Speaker 1: put me and give me the details. Wow!
- 13:17Speaker 1: If, uh, Miss Tan Sushan is really going to investigate this,
- 13:20Speaker 1: I guess everybody in DBS's customer service team will be
- 13:24Speaker 1: on Red alert. What's going on people? I'm just kidding.
- 13:28Speaker 1: So for this whole year in terms of a food item,
- 13:33Speaker 1: we've been talking about it. I'm wondering what's the draw
- 13:37Speaker 1: for it because it looks quite scary. It looks like
- 13:39Speaker 1: red tofu.
- 13:40Speaker 1: It's pig blood curd. It was banned in Singapore for
- 13:45Speaker 1: a while because it risks spreading disease, but I guess
- 13:48Speaker 1: our friends over at HSA and the food authorities have
- 13:51Speaker 1: cleared it. It's now available here in Singapore. The ban
- 13:54Speaker 1: has been lifted, and a massive hot pot place will
- 13:57Speaker 1: be serving it from today onwards. Our friends over at
- 14:00Speaker 1: Hai Til Lao.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Yeah, so, if anyone's trying pig blood curd, could you
- 14:08Speaker 1: please kindly let me and Sonia know how it tastes?
- 14:10Speaker 1: Is it like tofu or are there like some
- 14:14Speaker 1: Weird taste or weird bites to it. Let us know.
- 14:17Speaker 1: I'm I'm curious, but it's something I might not want
- 14:21Speaker 1: to try. If you like it, hey, you do you
- 14:23Speaker 1: and I do me on the shock circuit, not to worry,
- 14:25Speaker 1: our darling Sonia Chew, she's really enjoying the south of
- 14:29Speaker 1: France right now, looking at all her pictures. She's posted
- 14:32Speaker 1: a very nice bikini one to which the comment section.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Ah yeah, girlies, lifting girlies and all that. I have
- 14:40Speaker 1: to like it. I have to like it respectfully, yeah,
- 14:42Speaker 1: y'all do it anyhow, OK? But anyway, if she were here,
- 14:46Speaker 1: she would definitely call me out on this, and this
- 14:48Speaker 1: is the usual thing. If it's a public holiday and
- 14:51Speaker 1: if I have nothing on, I'll do one of three activities, sleep, game, run,
- 14:55Speaker 1: to which I did all of that yesterday.
- 14:57Speaker 1: And I decided to go run inside the Macritchie Nature
- 15:03Speaker 1: Trail to which if you ever need a guide on
- 15:06Speaker 1: where to turn and where to go, not to worry,
- 15:08Speaker 1: I've got a video coming your way. But at 6:45 p.m.
- 15:12Speaker 1: that was where I finished the loop, and the moment
- 15:15Speaker 1: I exit from where your cross-country start points are.
- 15:21Speaker 1: I looked to my left and I saw what I
- 15:22Speaker 1: think is the most beautiful sunset ever, and it was
- 15:26Speaker 1: too beautiful to not post it up on Instagram, so
- 15:28Speaker 1: it's there. I took a picture using my Meta AI glasses.
- 15:31Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely joking activities and loads of people, I
- 15:36Speaker 1: think not just one or two, but maybe 15 or
- 15:38Speaker 1: 20 people, once they ended.
- 15:40Speaker 1: The run. The moment they looked to the left and
- 15:42Speaker 1: they saw the sunset, they just stood there for a
- 15:44Speaker 1: while with their phones out. They got a picture, they
- 15:47Speaker 1: put it back in their pocket and they were just
- 15:48Speaker 1: staring at it. I wonder what kind of peace he
- 15:51Speaker 1: was giving them. It definitely gave me a little bit
- 15:53Speaker 1: of peace from all the tabs I have open in
- 15:55Speaker 1: my head.
- 15:56Speaker 1: And this is why I want to open up the
- 15:58Speaker 1: phone lines right now. I know it's super cliche. I, I,
- 16:01Speaker 1: I know talking about the weather could be a turnoff
- 16:04Speaker 1: for some people, but maybe your opinions and your inputs
- 16:08Speaker 1: can help fellow Singaporeans or tourists or PR's looking for
- 16:13Speaker 1: a good spot for a sunrise or a sunset here
- 16:17Speaker 1: in Singapore. The one place I want to catch the
- 16:20Speaker 1: sunrise is, you know, that Punggol red bridge, the park
- 16:24Speaker 1: connector over there.
- 16:26Speaker 1: There is actually a spot called Sunrise Point. So all
- 16:29Speaker 1: my runs from Serangoon to Punggol Coast have been in
- 16:31Speaker 1: the evenings, and whenever I go past Sunrise Point, I
- 16:34Speaker 1: tell myself, OK, one day if I'm ever up at
- 16:36Speaker 1: 5:30 a.m. on a weekend, I want to try catching
- 16:39Speaker 1: the sunrise from there. If anyone has pictures or opinions
- 16:43Speaker 1: about the best sunrise and sunset spots here in Singapore,
- 16:46Speaker 1: the phone lines are open over at 669-119-87, or you
- 16:50Speaker 1: can WhatsApp us at 90050987. And of course,
- 16:56Speaker 1: We're not making you do things for nothing. If we
- 16:58Speaker 1: do like your answer, what's coming your way is a
- 17:00Speaker 1: very nice dining experience. All thanks to our friends over
- 17:03Speaker 1: at Cloud Fields. They're over at Tan Boon Liat Building,
- 17:06Speaker 1: where you must try their short rib rendang pasta, nori
- 17:10Speaker 1: clam pasta, kachcho et pepe fries. If you want pictures
- 17:14Speaker 1: of their menu, it's available for you over at Instagram,
- 17:17Speaker 1: Love Cloud Fields. So call us 669-119-87 on a
- 17:23Speaker 1: Very cliche topic this morning, but I thought, hey, you
- 17:25Speaker 1: know what, we, we Singaporeans, we, we love our country. Yes,
- 17:30Speaker 1: we might be very vocal on social media and all that,
- 17:32Speaker 1: but there are some things that we do not take
- 17:34Speaker 1: for granted and some things that we truly enjoy, like
- 17:37Speaker 1: a simple sunrise or a sunset. Just yesterday over at
- 17:40Speaker 1: MacRitchie Nature Trail at 6:45 p.m., the moment I ended
- 17:44Speaker 1: my run, I looked left towards the reservoir area and
- 17:47Speaker 1: I saw what I think is a beautiful sunset. You
- 17:49Speaker 1: know what I'll do?
- 17:50Speaker 1: To anyone who WhatsApps me over at 90050987, I'll send
- 17:55Speaker 1: you the picture I took using my Oakley Meta AI glasses,
- 17:59Speaker 1: but I asked you this morning, where is a good
- 18:02Speaker 1: place for a sunrise or a sunset here in Singapore?
- 18:06Speaker 1: So I'm gonna read some texts coming our way. Wanna
- 18:09Speaker 1: say hello to, I think your name is Chris on WhatsApp.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Chris says, hey, Joakim, for me, my favorite spot for
- 18:17Speaker 1: a sunset is at the.
- 18:19Speaker 1: Marina where there is a lighthouse. The place is quite
- 18:22Speaker 1: near to where I'm working. The view is beautiful, and
- 18:26Speaker 1: the restaurant at the clubhouse has very nice and delicious
- 18:30Speaker 1: nasi lemma and chicken wings. So I'm gonna just type
- 18:32Speaker 1: in Raffles Marina and that is located at
- 18:36Speaker 1: Oh, towards the Tuas area if I'm not wrong. Yeah,
- 18:40Speaker 1: there you go. Oh, this could be a very nice
- 18:42Speaker 1: sunset spot. Thank you very much for sharing that, Chris. Also,
- 18:46Speaker 1: I wanna say hello to John. John says, best places
- 18:48Speaker 1: to appreciate sunset and its glory are the Marina Bay
- 18:52Speaker 1: Sands Sky Park observation deck.
- 18:54Speaker 1: The paid version or the Helix Bridge, the free version
- 18:58Speaker 1: where the golden lights reflects off the waterfront. It's truly magical.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Keep your calls and texts coming in over at 669-11987
- 19:06Speaker 1: or 90050987 for WhatsApp. Thank you so much for all
- 19:11Speaker 1: your calls and texts, by the way, and
- 19:13Speaker 1: We're just collecting your recommendations for where is the best
- 19:17Speaker 1: sunrise and the sunset spots. Inspired by what I saw
- 19:22Speaker 1: yesterday over at MacRitchie Reservoir at 6:45 p.m. If anybody
- 19:25Speaker 1: needs to know or wants to see it, you can
- 19:27Speaker 1: share it with me on WhatsApp. Just say, picture please
- 19:30Speaker 1: and I'll send it over to you. And I wanna
- 19:33Speaker 1: go back to WhatsApp and read a few messages that
- 19:35Speaker 1: I received and maybe you can use this for your
- 19:38Speaker 1: recommendations for
- 19:40Speaker 1: Sunrise and sunset spots in Singapore. Wanna say good morning
- 19:43Speaker 1: to Draymond, who says, morning, Joakim. The best and most
- 19:47Speaker 1: memorable sunrise and sunset has to be the Eastern Pier,
- 19:51Speaker 1: Lorong Airi. Hopefully I'm saying that right. We were eagerly
- 19:55Speaker 1: waiting for the sun to rise at 5:30 in push-up position,
- 19:59Speaker 1: and our sergeant instructed us to pump the sun up.
- 20:04Speaker 1: And it rose. It was the most beautiful sunrise in
- 20:07Speaker 1: my life. Also because that means index la for honor
- 20:10Speaker 1: and glory. 4th coy 99, Hendon boys. Ah, there you go.
- 20:14Speaker 1: That's a commando reference. Another text coming in as well.
- 20:18Speaker 1: I wanna say good morning to Wayne. Wayne.
- 20:22Speaker 1: You say, morning, Joakim. I'm an avid runner like you,
- 20:25Speaker 1: and my usual running routes include Changi Beach, Pasir Ris Park,
- 20:29Speaker 1: and Punggol Park Connector. I'm privileged to witness beautiful sunsets
- 20:33Speaker 1: and sunrises in these areas. It gives me so much
- 20:37Speaker 1: joy and peace, especially when I'm training, sending you the
- 20:40Speaker 1: pictures right now, and thank you so much for all
- 20:42Speaker 1: your pictures, Wayne. It's well received. Go into our phone
- 20:45Speaker 1: lines over at 669.
- 20:47Speaker 1: 11987. Jared, where is the best spot? I think in
- 20:51Speaker 1: my opinion, maybe Mount Faber. Oh, Mount Faber, do you,
- 20:54Speaker 1: do you live around that area? Um, no, I think
- 20:56Speaker 1: I live around Bukit Timah. OK, that's another good spot
- 20:59Speaker 1: for a sunrise or a sunset. So why Mount Faber?
- 21:02Speaker 1: Have you been there with family and friends? Yeah, I have.
- 21:05Speaker 1: And which view is it facing for us here in Singapore?
- 21:08Speaker 1: Which side do you look at, the Sentosa side or
- 21:10Speaker 1: the town side?
- 21:12Speaker 1: Sentosa. Ah, alright then, thank you very much, Jared. Jared,
- 21:16Speaker 1: no school.
- 21:17Speaker 1: No school. No, my school ended on Tuesday. Wow, OK.
- 21:22Speaker 1: I also want to go back to school. Anyway, thanks
- 21:24Speaker 1: for your call, Jared. Take care, brother. Bye-bye. OK, bye.
- 21:27Speaker 1: I'm actually very happy with the amount of response I'm
- 21:30Speaker 1: getting on WhatsApp and people calling us over at 669-11987
- 21:34Speaker 1: because I was just worried that it could have been
- 21:36Speaker 1: the most cliche of questions about the best sunset and
- 21:40Speaker 1: sunrise here in Singapore, but
- 21:42Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm not the only one who truly appreciates
- 21:45Speaker 1: something as beautiful and really simple as that because yesterday
- 21:49Speaker 1: at 6:45 p.m. upon finishing my run over at MacRitchie,
- 21:53Speaker 1: when I got to the reservoir area towards where the
- 21:55Speaker 1: gravel is, I looked to the left for a bit
- 21:57Speaker 1: and wow!
- 21:59Speaker 1: The picture of that sunset I think can be my
- 22:01Speaker 1: locked screen for the next 6 or 7 months, however,
- 22:04Speaker 1: we have left, however much we have left for this year.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Not just me, but 20+ people just stood there for
- 22:09Speaker 1: a bit with one picture taken. They put their phones
- 22:12Speaker 1: down for a bit and they're just looking at the sun,
- 22:14Speaker 1: maybe thinking about how
- 22:15Speaker 1: How much peace it's given them. So, going back to
- 22:18Speaker 1: WhatsApp at 90050987, saying good morning to Amir. Amir says,
- 22:24Speaker 1: I took this after work last Tuesday at the SLFMSF area.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your picture, Amir. And one
- 22:33Speaker 1: coming in as well from Jermine. Jermine, you say, Punggol
- 22:39Speaker 1: Waterway Terrace. It's a nice sunset and this photo was
- 22:42Speaker 1: taken from my son.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Another one coming in from Raymond, who further adds fuel
- 22:48Speaker 1: to the fire that I think earlier text that we
- 22:51Speaker 1: got as well about Raffles Marina. Oh, the lighthouse and
- 22:54Speaker 1: the skies look absolutely beautiful. Go to our phone lines
- 22:58Speaker 1: over at 669.
- 22:59Speaker 1: 11987. So Jovin, where is the best sunrise or sunset
- 23:03Speaker 1: spot here in Singapore? Um, yeah, OK, sure. I would
- 23:06Speaker 1: say Mount Faber. Oh, Mount Faber again. Why Mount Faber?
- 23:09Speaker 1: Tell us. Yes, Mount Faber again. Um, lots of memories.
- 23:13Speaker 1: I think, uh, the first time I was there a
- 23:16Speaker 1: long time ago was uh when I was with my ex.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Uh, yes, obviously my husband is, uh, still, you know,
- 23:24Speaker 1: very pissed about it, but, uh, but that, yeah, yeah,
- 23:27Speaker 1: that was, uh, during one of the sky dining. Um, obviously,
- 23:32Speaker 1: you know, sunset, very romantic, you know, private, uh, spot
- 23:36Speaker 1: within the, within the cable car itself. So, very nice, uh,
- 23:40Speaker 1: and then subsequently, uh, obviously I've been there, uh, for
- 23:44Speaker 1: different reasons, um, and it's always very beautiful when
- 23:49Speaker 1: When, when, when you look down with the cable cars
- 23:51Speaker 1: and now with the, with the the new Sky. Yeah, yeah.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Can I, can I ask, do you walk up or
- 24:00Speaker 1: do you drive?
- 24:02Speaker 1: Uh, I've done both. OK. One last question for you.
- 24:08Speaker 1: So when you go there with your husband, will your
- 24:10Speaker 1: husband say, so who's better, the ex or me?
- 24:14Speaker 1: Of course, you always ask that. But of course, of
- 24:17Speaker 1: course you lah, right? That's why I married you. OK lah. OK.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your call, Jovin. Take care.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Bye bye. Bye. As promised, more calls and texts coming
- 24:27Speaker 1: in about the best sunrise and sunset spots here in Singapore.
- 24:32Speaker 1: If you just joined us on this rainy Thursday morning,
- 24:35Speaker 1: I don't think any sunrise possible today. Maybe sunset, maybe
- 24:38Speaker 1: a high chance of rainbows, you never know.
- 24:41Speaker 1: Inspired by what happened to me yesterday, over at 6:45 p.m.
- 24:45Speaker 1: at MacRitchie Nature Trail, timed my run as such where
- 24:48Speaker 1: the moment I ended it and I exited the trail,
- 24:51Speaker 1: I looked left at the reservoir area and I saw
- 24:53Speaker 1: one of the most beautiful sunsets ever available on my
- 24:56Speaker 1: Insta stories and I've been sending it to people who
- 24:58Speaker 1: have been asking for it on 987's WhatsApp. Wanna say
- 25:02Speaker 1: good morning to Audrey.
- 25:03Speaker 1: The best sunrise has to be home. We have 3
- 25:07Speaker 1: young adult children, especially when they are overseas. My husband
- 25:11Speaker 1: will take the sunrise from our home and send it
- 25:13Speaker 1: to them to remind them that home misses and loves them. Aiyo!
- 25:17Speaker 1: Come back here soon in SG. Thank you very much
- 25:20Speaker 1: for your texts, Audrey. One more coming in from, I
- 25:24Speaker 1: think your name is
- 25:26Speaker 1: There's there's no username. Username Hart. There we go. Morning, Sojo.
- 25:30Speaker 1: I think the prettiest sunsets are the ones we noticed.
- 25:33Speaker 1: This came from my house window. Happen to look out
- 25:36Speaker 1: the window while eating dinner and whoop, there it is. I'm,
- 25:39Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out the location of this.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Is this
- 25:44Speaker 1: The West? I don't know. She, she didn't really leave
- 25:47Speaker 1: a location, but anyway, if you do know this, maybe
- 25:50Speaker 1: username heart, you can let me know on where the
- 25:53Speaker 1: location is. Go to our phone lines over at 669-119-87. Alice,
- 25:59Speaker 1: what's your opinion? Tell us. Where is the best sunrise
- 26:01Speaker 1: or sunset spot here in Singapore?
- 26:04Speaker 2: Uh, that will be from Punggol East, which oversees the
- 26:08Speaker 2: Coney Island where I'm living.
- 26:11Speaker 1: You know what, Alice, I just started running there recently
- 26:13Speaker 1: and I really envy the view that you get unblocked
- 26:17Speaker 1: sunrise and sunset views. So how many times have you
- 26:20Speaker 1: been late for work because you wanted to enjoy a
- 26:21Speaker 1: very nice sunrise?
- 26:23Speaker 2: Uh, not really, actually, from my kitchen window I can.
- 26:28Speaker 2: if the sky is clear.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Beautiful. And can I just ask, are there any downsides
- 26:35Speaker 1: living so near the coast? Any like flies or any
- 26:38Speaker 1: issues like that?
- 26:40Speaker 2: Uh, actually, when I first moved in the first year,
- 26:42Speaker 2: there is a lot of flies at night when we
- 26:45Speaker 2: switch on the lights, but recently there's no more. I
- 26:48Speaker 2: think they have moved to other.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Places
- 26:53Speaker 1: maybe over at Tampines. I think there are a couple
- 26:54Speaker 1: of cases over there. Thank you so much for your call, Alice.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Take care, OK?
- 26:58Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 26:59Speaker 2: Bye. Bye bye.
- 27:01Speaker 1: And we do have time for one final caller. Pearl,
- 27:05Speaker 1: where's the best sunrise or sunset spot here in Singapore? Um,
- 27:08Speaker 1: it is on the top floor of the HDB block
- 27:10Speaker 1: right behind Saint Teresa's Church.
- 27:13Speaker 1: OK, uh, I gotta be honest with you, I used
- 27:16Speaker 1: to play football at a basketball court near there, and
- 27:18Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about because we'll go to
- 27:20Speaker 1: the corridor areas and have a look at the sunset
- 27:22Speaker 1: as well. So, will you consider moving out or will
- 27:24Speaker 1: you stay there forever given how beautiful the sunset is?
- 27:28Speaker 1: Oh wow, I'll stay there forever, for sure, for sure.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your call, Pear. Take care, OK?
- 27:34Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Bye-bye. And look, thank you so
- 27:37Speaker 1: much for all your calls and texts and even your
- 27:40Speaker 1: pictures today of beautiful sunrise and sunset spots here in Singapore.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Some are even saying the MOE Changi Coast Outdoor Adventure
- 27:50Speaker 1: Learning Center.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Yeah, that one, if I was a student, I'll definitely
- 27:54Speaker 1: enjoy it, but as an adult, do I wanna go
- 27:56Speaker 1: all the way there? Maybe, you know, maybe if I'm
- 27:59Speaker 1: feeling it. But I think for today's winner of the
- 28:03Speaker 1: Cloud Fields dining Experience, I wanna give it to Pearl
- 28:06Speaker 1: who called us earlier. Pearl, thank you very much.
- 28:11Speaker 1: Letting us know that over at the HDB block right
- 28:14Speaker 1: in front of Saint Teresa's Church, near Vivo City, it's
- 28:17Speaker 1: a 180 degree unblocked view of the sunrise. So if
- 28:20Speaker 1: you're a little bit lazy to climb Mount Faber for
- 28:24Speaker 1: a nice sunset at the western side of Singapore, maybe
- 28:27Speaker 1: on the southern side of Singapore, there you go, that's
- 28:28Speaker 1: more like it. This could be one for you. So,
- 28:31Speaker 1: cloud field stunning experience, come in.
- 28:33Speaker 1: No way. Enjoy it, Pearl. It's summer with teeth right
- 28:36Speaker 1: here on 987. When was the last time you went
- 28:38Speaker 1: to go see the dentist? Please go. Went to mine
- 28:41Speaker 1: last Friday. Got loads of tar taken out and I
- 28:44Speaker 1: was bleeding nonstop. Yes, hello Jess of Aloha Dental. That
- 28:48Speaker 1: said though, this next piece of news that I wanna
- 28:50Speaker 1: share with you here on the show, it will definitely
- 28:52Speaker 1: warm your hearts. It might make you even miss your helper.
- 28:57Speaker 1: There are plenty of stories here in Singapore where helpers
- 29:00Speaker 1: have become part of the family, and I think it
- 29:02Speaker 1: was quite recent on CNN Insider, recent maybe say 6
- 29:06Speaker 1: months or even last year, where they showed you a
- 29:08Speaker 1: series where they brought people back to the Philippines or
- 29:11Speaker 1: Indonesia to go find their helper. It was tear jerking.
- 29:15Speaker 1: People were crying, saying, oh my God, you're like my
- 29:17Speaker 1: second mom and all that. So you would know that
- 29:20Speaker 1: BTS are in town in the month of December.
- 29:23Speaker 1: So, there is a Singaporean family who has a Burmese
- 29:27Speaker 1: helper and that helper is a huge fan of BTS
- 29:31Speaker 1: and the Singapore family who really loves her and treats
- 29:33Speaker 1: her like family as well, actually was willing to pay
- 29:36Speaker 1: up to $1200 to fulfill her helper's dream to watch
- 29:42Speaker 1: BTS live in concert. Yeah, so I really hope
- 29:47Speaker 1: The ticket was secure and it's like a legit ticket,
- 29:49Speaker 1: not a scam, because that'll be so sad. That'll put
- 29:51Speaker 1: a huge dampener, but given how viral this piece of
- 29:54Speaker 1: news is already, I'm very sure maybe our friends over
- 29:57Speaker 1: at the Kallang can do something for this Burmese helper.
- 30:00Speaker 1: But then, if they were to do something for one.
- 30:03Speaker 1: Maybe if other stories go viral, must you do something
- 30:06Speaker 1: for everyone. Yeah, there you go. But BTS will be
- 30:10Speaker 1: performing for 4 nights here in Singapore in the month
- 30:13Speaker 1: of December, and I'm very sure tickets, once they become available,
- 30:16Speaker 1: it might be sold out quickly. So all the best
- 30:21Speaker 1: to you and may the queuing odds be ever in
- 30:23Speaker 1: your favor. Please file a missing report on Lil Nas X.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Where is he? No songs, no nothing from him in
- 30:30Speaker 1: a while, but industry baby.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Right here on 987, your number one hit music station,
- 30:34Speaker 1: Joakim Gomez here with you. Now, in just a while,
- 30:38Speaker 1: we're gonna be playing something really special. It is the
- 30:42Speaker 1: World Cup trivia.

- 30:50Speaker 1: We are playing for Lego Lionel Messi, Lego Ronaldo, Lego
- 30:55Speaker 1: Kylian Mbappe, and Lego Vinny Junior. Very nice way to
- 31:00Speaker 1: spend time with your friends and family. And if you
- 31:02Speaker 1: do follow Lego on Instagram, you'd have seen all the
- 31:05Speaker 1: ads done with Ronaldo, Vinny Junior, Mbappe, and Messi themselves.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Not AI, it's legit them.
- 31:12Speaker 1: Who are paid to, of course, to do the advertisements
- 31:14Speaker 1: in Lagos, but yeah, they got sets after them as
- 31:17Speaker 1: well to celebrate the World Cup. So, what's gonna happen is,
- 31:20Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a caller, one single caller, and put
- 31:24Speaker 1: you through 3 questions. You must get all 3 questions
- 31:28Speaker 1: right to win the prize. If you fall at the
- 31:32Speaker 1: last hurdle, I'm so sorry.
- 31:34Speaker 1: to take a new caller with the same bunch of questions,
- 31:38Speaker 1: and he or she might be able to steal it
- 31:41Speaker 1: away from you. So, the number to dial, 669-119-87. Call
- 31:46Speaker 1: us right now. The line to take on the World
- 31:49Speaker 1: Cup gauntlet Challenge. I have with me, hello, Navin. Hello Navin,
- 31:55Speaker 1: how are you doing on this Thursday morning, man? OK, man,
- 31:58Speaker 1: feeling good. OK, so your prediction, a question I enjoy
- 32:01Speaker 1: asking people to call us, who's gonna win the World Cup?
- 32:05Speaker 1: Hopefully this time we take it home. England. England, yes,
- 32:08Speaker 1: about time. 60 years since 1966. So Navin, I have
- 32:15Speaker 1: three questions. You must get all three correct. Are you ready?
- 32:19Speaker 1: Here we go. Here's the very first one. Navin, which
- 32:23Speaker 1: year did Lionel Messi make his first World Cup appearance?
- 32:28Speaker 1: Is it A 2010 or B 2006?
- 32:32Speaker 1: 2006. 2006, absolutely correct. The one in Germany. Moving on
- 32:37Speaker 1: to our next question. What is the name of the
- 32:40Speaker 1: main artist who performed Waka Waka, this time for Africa? Shakira.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Shakira is absolutely correct. And OK, Navin, the next question
- 32:50Speaker 1: involves listening power, yeah. Are you ready?
- 32:53Speaker 1: I said it. Which national or which country does this
- 32:57Speaker 1: national anthem belong to? Listen carefully.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Navin, what is the answer?
- 33:12Speaker 1: England, England is absolutely correct. A hat trick coming your way.
- 33:18Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're getting for yourself Lego,
- 33:21Speaker 1: Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Ronaldo, and Vinny Junior. Have a
- 33:24Speaker 1: great time building these sets with friends and family and
- 33:27Speaker 1: enjoy the World Cup action, OK?
- 33:29Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you so much. So, we usually do
- 33:32Speaker 1: two segments which involves Sonia and I singing a jingle.
- 33:37Speaker 1: If it's food news, it's me, the one that goes
- 33:39Speaker 1: food news, food news, Sonia with the good food news.
- 33:42Speaker 1: If it's Bodo crime, it's Sonia. She goes border crime,
- 33:45Speaker 1: Bodo crime, Bo crime, border crime, and usually for a
- 33:49Speaker 1: Bodo crime story, we, we don't touch the serious crimes.
- 33:52Speaker 1: Now that one all we we won't ever bring it
- 33:54Speaker 1: here on 987.
- 33:55Speaker 1: It's the ridiculous ones that happened here in Singapore that
- 33:59Speaker 1: we talk about and just wonder what were you thinking. Today, again,
- 34:03Speaker 1: I'm gonna break one small rule when it comes to
- 34:06Speaker 1: border crime. I, I read about this one. It took
- 34:09Speaker 1: place in Malaysia, but
- 34:11Speaker 1: It's a, it's a whole new level of
- 34:15Speaker 1: Bodo for no better word. Full details coming your way
- 34:18Speaker 1: in just a while. Stay with us. And as always,
- 34:20Speaker 1: when it comes to Bodo crimes, Sonia will sing the jingle,
- 34:23Speaker 1: and I'll be the one telling you the news. But
- 34:25Speaker 1: given how she's still on her honeymoon, back with us
- 34:28Speaker 1: next Tuesday, I'll do it. Here we go. 123, Bri, Bri,
- 34:32Speaker 1: B crime, Bor crime.
- 34:35Speaker 1: And, OK, not exactly here in Singapore, it's somewhere nearby
- 34:39Speaker 1: across the causeway. I'm gonna take you to the killer
- 34:42Speaker 1: streets of Kadah, Malaysia. Yes. We try to find a
- 34:47Speaker 1: negative adjective sometimes like, you know, the mean streets of
- 34:50Speaker 1: Boston or the killer streets of New York, the killer
- 34:53Speaker 1: streets of Kadah.
- 34:55Speaker 1: The reason why this crime is classified under border crime
- 34:57Speaker 1: is this lah. OK, you know how, alright, to my
- 35:00Speaker 1: fellow bros.
- 35:02Speaker 1: When you tell your partner that you're going on a
- 35:05Speaker 1: night out with your other bros to go for a drink,
- 35:08Speaker 1: go to a club, they they obviously won't be too happy, right?
- 35:11Speaker 1: And be honest, sometimes you might find a way to
- 35:14Speaker 1: tell a white lie and sneak out to enjoy a
- 35:16Speaker 1: night out with your bros.
- 35:18Speaker 1: Same situation
- 35:20Speaker 1: But this man didn't want his girlfriend to know that
- 35:23Speaker 1: he was in a nightclub. He was at a nightclub drinking.
- 35:26Speaker 1: What does he do? He lies to the police that
- 35:31Speaker 1: he was robbed. That's his alibi to his girlfriend that
- 35:36Speaker 1: he did not want to know was drinking at a nightclub.
- 35:41Speaker 1: He has since been charged by the Malaysian court. He
- 35:44Speaker 1: has to either pay a fine of RM $1000 which
- 35:47Speaker 1: is $322 Singapore dollars, or he might have to face
- 35:50Speaker 1: a two-month time in jail if he is not able
- 35:54Speaker 1: to pay the fine for wasting public funds, manpower, and
- 35:59Speaker 1: wasting public resources. There you go. How what the lengths
- 36:04Speaker 1: some people go through to cover up a lie like that.
- 36:08Speaker 1: And this has been border crime, border crime, border crime,
- 36:11Speaker 1: border crime over at the killer streets of Kadam, Malaysia. Really,
- 36:15Speaker 1: really border. I got nothing to say anyway.
