987 THE SHOCK CIRCUIT REPLAY🔁 150626 · 987 The Shock Circuit

0:03
Speaker 1: Wake up.
0:05
Speaker 1: next
0:07
Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
0:10
Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. It's still me, Solo
0:13
Speaker 1: and yours. Hopefully Joakim will be back tomorrow. At this point,
0:16
Speaker 1: I have a theory that he doesn't want to come
0:18
Speaker 1: back to work also.
0:20
Speaker 1: Anyway, the morning starts. I'll tell you what happened in
0:23
Speaker 1: just a bit. Shakira and Burna Boy kicks us off
0:26
Speaker 1: this morning. Stay tuned. Singapore's number one hit music station.
0:32
Speaker 1: Faking Smiles, a new track right here on 987, Singapore's
0:35
Speaker 1: number one hit music station. Uh, when I was listening
0:38
Speaker 1: to that song, I was just wondering to myself, you know,
0:40
Speaker 1: all the times that, you know, my friends and I
0:42
Speaker 1: talk about work sometimes, or, you know, my, my friends
0:45
Speaker 1: complain about the office politics and all that. It got
0:48
Speaker 1: me thinking, right? My job is so different because when
0:52
Speaker 1: I come into work, I literally only see Joakim. Joakim
0:55
Speaker 1: only sees me.
0:56
Speaker 1: Because no one else is in the studio this early
0:58
Speaker 1: in the morning, aside from other presenters from other stations, right? So,
1:02
Speaker 1: in a way, in a way, the office politics is
1:06
Speaker 1: very different, like compared to, compared to my friends who
1:10
Speaker 1: are in like 9 to 5 jobs, right? I'm sure
1:12
Speaker 1: you understand, I'm sure you relate. Um, and yeah, there's always,
1:16
Speaker 1: there's always the good and the bad, that's for sure.
1:18
Speaker 1: It's an unconventional job that Joakim and I have here
1:20
Speaker 1: on air.
1:21
Speaker 1: Anyway, music flows, and I hope you're having a great, well,
1:25
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of June holidays already. I was
1:27
Speaker 1: just gonna say I hope you're having a great 2nd
1:29
Speaker 1: or 3rd week of June holidays. I think we're kicking
1:31
Speaker 1: off the 3rd week of June holidays. Yeah, um, and
1:34
Speaker 1: very soon we'll get to hear you text us and
1:38
Speaker 1: call us this early in the morning again. I kind
1:40
Speaker 1: of miss it. What's happened over the weekends and oh,
1:43
Speaker 1: in case you're wondering why Joakim isn't here, he, he
1:46
Speaker 1: was supposed to come back today, like we're supposed to
1:47
Speaker 1: be reunited today. That's what I said on all our
1:50
Speaker 1: show trailers, right? But
1:51
Speaker 1: Um, he, well, actually, I texted him on Saturday nights
1:56
Speaker 1: because I ran into a mutual friend of ours when
1:59
Speaker 1: I was out partying quite late. But usually Joakim stays
2:04
Speaker 1: up quite late, you know what I mean, like, especially
2:06
Speaker 1: on weekends. So I was wondering like, hey, how come
2:08
Speaker 1: he didn't reply to me at, you know, around 11:30, 12,
2:11
Speaker 1: around there. He should have been awake, so he didn't reply. Next,
2:14
Speaker 1: the next morning, he replied me and he goes, oh man, like,
2:17
Speaker 1: looks like a fun night that I missed out, but also,
2:20
Speaker 1: I had very bad food poisoning today, or rather the
2:23
Speaker 1: day before, which was Saturday, Saturday daytime itself, right? And
2:26
Speaker 1: I was like, what, you went to Bhutan, you travel,
2:29
Speaker 1: nothing happened, like everything was fine, and then when you
2:32
Speaker 1: come back home, you got food poisoning back in Singapore.
2:35
Speaker 1: That's just the kind of like face p worthy moment, right?
2:39
Speaker 1: But I think it does happen to the best of
2:40
Speaker 1: us sometimes. Maybe it's your body's way of telling you like, oh,
2:43
Speaker 1: we're sien to be back.
2:45
Speaker 1: We've had too good of a time overseas. We're not
2:48
Speaker 1: having it the moment you come back, your body just
2:50
Speaker 1: knows like, oh man. So yeah, I'm, I'm sure he'll
2:53
Speaker 1: be fine by tomorrow and he'll be back with us 100%. Anyway, um,
2:58
Speaker 1: later on, I would love to address all the talk
3:02
Speaker 1: and the chatter about flower market here in Singapore.
3:06
Speaker 1: As you know, it's over at IMBA at Gardens, Gardens
3:09
Speaker 1: by the Bay, right? If you've not been just yet,
3:11
Speaker 1: I mean, they are, they champion a lot of art-related exhibitions.
3:14
Speaker 1: They bring a lot of really cool artists here to Singapore. So,
3:18
Speaker 1: let me, let me fill you in on my experience
3:21
Speaker 1: and this was, this is purely from like an objective standpoint, OK.
3:26
Speaker 1: I went there, I booked a slots and my bestie
3:29
Speaker 1: and I, we went to just have, have immerse, yeah,
3:32
Speaker 1: immerse ourselves in that.
3:33
Speaker 1: And just see like what's up, you know, so it's
3:36
Speaker 1: safe to say, we actually did have quite a cute time.
3:38
Speaker 1: I'll tell you more in just a little bit to
3:40
Speaker 1: Flower Market Singapore. As you know, um, this is the end.
3:44
Speaker 1: Over the weekends, my bestie and I, we headed down
3:46
Speaker 1: to Flower Market by CJ Hendry. A lot of people,
3:49
Speaker 1: a lot of people, honestly, like it was, it was packed,
3:51
Speaker 1: but that being said, they had already switched it to um,
3:55
Speaker 1: Allocated time slots at that time. So I think there
3:58
Speaker 1: were no walk-ins allowed, although I heard that some people
4:02
Speaker 1: still wanted to try their luck, I'm guessing to, to
4:05
Speaker 1: just queue up and see if they could go in, right? Um, however,
4:09
Speaker 1: I think due to capacity, they did, they did close
4:12
Speaker 1: off walk-ins at, at some points. Please correct me if
4:15
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, but I believe walk-ins were closed at some point.
4:18
Speaker 1: I saw it on socials.
4:19
Speaker 1: Um, it, it was, it was quite an experience, I
4:21
Speaker 1: have to say. I, I went in to try and
4:24
Speaker 1: film like a POV of my shopping experience, which was
4:28
Speaker 1: indeed very challenging because I wanted to buy everything. So it,
4:32
Speaker 1: it was the, it was the kind of thing where
4:34
Speaker 1: you go and you're like, oh, yeah, how many flowers
4:36
Speaker 1: do I buy? And, you know, I kind of understand
4:38
Speaker 1: why people left with like a whole entire tote bag
4:41
Speaker 1: full of, of flowers and, you know, people were trying
4:45
Speaker 1: to make their bouquets. It was, it was actually quite nice,
4:47
Speaker 1: I think.
4:48
Speaker 1: Um, OK, forgive me for saying this, but I think
4:51
Speaker 1: sticking to just the allocated time slots was a good idea.
4:56
Speaker 1: Because when I went in there, people were actually taking
4:58
Speaker 1: the time to, you know, immerse in the moment, to
5:00
Speaker 1: put their bouquet together. It was quite cute, cute to
5:02
Speaker 1: see and like families were doing it together, you know, as,
5:05
Speaker 1: as an activity. So I managed to put together some. Um, I,
5:09
Speaker 1: I don't think I was very wary of like what
5:12
Speaker 1: was like a Singapore exclusive and what wasn't, but
5:17
Speaker 1: I did recognize some of them. It's just, you know,
5:19
Speaker 1: some were sold out already by the time I, I
5:20
Speaker 1: went there. So, um, to avoid disappointments, please make sure
5:24
Speaker 1: that you have your time slots. I think the next
5:26
Speaker 1: one that will uh draw a huge amount of crowd
5:29
Speaker 1: will be Juju World happening very soon in just a
5:31
Speaker 1: few days. And, uh, I, I actually heard as well
5:35
Speaker 1: from the organizer that a lot of the people that
5:37
Speaker 1: rushed in to snatch up some of the flowers, they're
5:41
Speaker 1: actually not even Singaporean.
5:43
Speaker 1: There are a lot of um people visiting from overseas
5:46
Speaker 1: that are hardcore fans of this, of this installment and
5:50
Speaker 1: of this uh artist, right? CJ Hendry.
5:52
Speaker 1: That, that, I think it's giving Singapore an interesting name
5:55
Speaker 1: right now. People are like, oh, why are Singaporeans rushing to,
5:59
Speaker 1: to grab the flowers like that? Well, clarification, not everyone's
6:02
Speaker 1: actually Singaporean, but I guess that doesn't matter. It's still
6:05
Speaker 1: being held here in Singapore, but it's a good problem
6:08
Speaker 1: for our friends over at Imba and Gardens by the Bay.
6:10
Speaker 1: It was truly quite, quite really nice to see a
6:13
Speaker 1: lot of people flocking towards Gardens by the Bay as well.
6:17
Speaker 1: Anyway, um, if you managed to get your time slot
6:19
Speaker 1: and you managed to visit, fantastic. If not, Juju World.
6:23
Speaker 1: Up next, I think that's really cute as well. Um,
6:25
Speaker 1: it's the first time I think I'm hoping to get
6:28
Speaker 1: something from, I think it's like a blindbox situation as well.
6:31
Speaker 1: So my friends and I are pretty, pretty excited. In fact,
6:33
Speaker 1: we went and booked our slot already for next weekend.
6:36
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh man, yeah, I, I, I feel it.
6:39
Speaker 1: I feel it. I feel the hype because I, I
6:41
Speaker 1: really wanted to ask him, has he been following everything
6:43
Speaker 1: that is going on with the World Cup because he
6:45
Speaker 1: was traveling and stuff. I'm sure he is, but wanted
6:48
Speaker 1: to show some love to this coffee shop, not here
6:51
Speaker 1: in Singapore, but in Hangzhou, which actually funny enough, I
6:55
Speaker 1: visited many years ago, like when I was a student.
6:57
Speaker 1: Um, not, not the most, I'm not sure if Hangzhou
7:00
Speaker 1: is really, um, a place where tourists go to, but
7:04
Speaker 1: I went there, I dropped by there because of a
7:06
Speaker 1: school exchange program back then. As you would know, with
7:09
Speaker 1: World Cup season, I feel like any bar or or
7:13
Speaker 1: restaurant or lounge that screens the World Cup, right, there
7:16
Speaker 1: will surely be people, 100%, right? You would think, yeah,
7:19
Speaker 1: it will attract crowds for sure.
7:21
Speaker 1: This owner of a coffee shop in Hangzhou, he hosted
7:24
Speaker 1: a World Cup screening and invited like 4000 people, but unfortunately,
7:28
Speaker 1: no one turned up. That was really quite sad and he,
7:31
Speaker 1: he decided to watch it alone. Um, you know, putting
7:34
Speaker 1: together a big bash is not easy, and I think
7:37
Speaker 1: the prep to host the screening started like 2 weeks
7:40
Speaker 1: before the Mexico-South Africa face-off. So, he was rallying the crowd,
7:44
Speaker 1: nobody turned up, unfortunately, so.
7:47
Speaker 1: He eventually just settled back in and enjoyed it himself,
7:50
Speaker 1: but because of that, it got covered by so much
7:53
Speaker 1: media that I feel eventually people will go and support him, right?
7:57
Speaker 1: I mean, here in Singapore as well, if you know
7:59
Speaker 1: of a nearby neighborhood cafe or a bar that's hosting
8:03
Speaker 1: the World Cup, you know, go, go support them. I
8:05
Speaker 1: think this is the time where it will drive up
8:07
Speaker 1: sales for them and
8:09
Speaker 1: The F&B industry in Singapore is so volatile and unpredictable.
8:12
Speaker 1: So if there is a neighborhood joint that you can
8:15
Speaker 1: support within your means, please do it. We want to
8:18
Speaker 1: show some love, especially to our neighborhood aunties and uncles, right?
8:21
Speaker 1: For sure. I mean, I may not be a, a
8:24
Speaker 1: big football fan or actually a fan at all, but
8:27
Speaker 1: I do still like to soak in the atmosphere once
8:29
Speaker 1: in a while, you know, just go with the crowd,
8:32
Speaker 1: as you have seen from our latest video on 987's
8:35
Speaker 1: TikTok and Instagram.
8:37
Speaker 1: And speaking of home, if you're tuning in now and
8:39
Speaker 1: you're in the process of going through renovations, I don't know,
8:42
Speaker 1: interior design, or maybe you're just on the hunt for
8:45
Speaker 1: a new home, this could be something that you're interested in.
8:49
Speaker 1: $500,000. What exactly does that get you when it comes
8:53
Speaker 1: to home renovations? Uh, to me, $500,000 that's on the
8:57
Speaker 1: very high side, you know, I mean, I've known some
8:59
Speaker 1: friends who did their house and they told me like, oh,
9:02
Speaker 1: their renaul can go up to like 1000 or something
9:05
Speaker 1: plus interior design and everything all all in.
9:08
Speaker 1: Right. And that to me is 1000, that's a lot already,
9:10
Speaker 1: but considering how, you know, if you get a resale
9:14
Speaker 1: or maybe um an older apartment, for example, maybe there's
9:16
Speaker 1: a lot more renovation to be done versus, you know,
9:20
Speaker 1: getting a brand new home, right?
9:21
Speaker 1: So this couple has found their way into the news
9:24
Speaker 1: by transforming their flats into a luxury home. They actually
9:29
Speaker 1: spent 5000 on renovations, and this includes walls that are
9:33
Speaker 1: almost entirely covered in marble patterned slabs. It looks like
9:38
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole apartment looks like it's marble, by
9:40
Speaker 1: the way.
9:40
Speaker 1: So I'm unclear whether it's like real marble slabs or
9:43
Speaker 1: is it just, is it a design? Is it a
9:46
Speaker 1: mixture of both? Um, I'm curious because that's a lot
9:49
Speaker 1: of marble. Um, it does look like a, like a
9:51
Speaker 1: hotel almost, you know, which I think was the vibe
9:54
Speaker 1: they were going for. Um, I think he, the owner
9:57
Speaker 1: actually said, I want to feel like I'm staying in
9:59
Speaker 1: a high-end hotel.
10:02
Speaker 1: I mean, with, by spending 5000, I'm sure you feel
10:05
Speaker 1: like you're living in a hotel for sure. Um, he's
10:07
Speaker 1: also got a massive gaming room, something that Joki will
10:09
Speaker 1: want in his future home as well. He's always saying
10:11
Speaker 1: that he needs a four or five-room flat in the
10:14
Speaker 1: future because he wants to turn one of it into
10:16
Speaker 1: like a massive gaming room, so a bit of a
10:18
Speaker 1: man cave kind of situation, right? Um, overall, you know, the, the,
10:22
Speaker 1: the bedroom is beautiful. Um, I think they transformed one
10:25
Speaker 1: of the rooms into a massive walk-in wardrobe as well.
10:29
Speaker 1: You know, unfortunately for me because I live in quite
10:31
Speaker 1: a small, my own personal apartment is quite small, so
10:34
Speaker 1: the whole place is just filled with my stuff like clothes,
10:37
Speaker 1: like things just thrown around, shoes. Yeah, I'm not very organized,
10:41
Speaker 1: so I can never do a home tour video anymore, um,
10:45
Speaker 1: aside from the time that I just moved in, I
10:47
Speaker 1: should have done it then.
10:48
Speaker 1: Anyway, aside from that, the renovation process actually took a
10:51
Speaker 1: whole year, literally a whole year. That's crazy. And uh
10:55
Speaker 1: I think the, the project was delayed several times, you know,
10:58
Speaker 1: because of materials and a few challenges and all that. Um,
11:02
Speaker 1: of course, the 5000 includes the decoration, furniture, appliances and,
11:05
Speaker 1: and everything as well, which is quite a lot of
11:08
Speaker 1: effort because their design changed nearly 40 times, 40, by
11:13
Speaker 1: the way, 40 times.
11:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I, I don't know whether this would
11:17
Speaker 1: have encouraged um the homeowner who is very interested in
11:20
Speaker 1: design to continue to be interested in ID or has
11:24
Speaker 1: it officially, you know, turned him off it completely. He's like, OK,
11:27
Speaker 1: I'm done, one and done. This is the only project
11:29
Speaker 1: I'm doing. I don't think I can do this for
11:30
Speaker 1: a living.
11:32
Speaker 1: But hey, if you are going through a similar thing now,
11:35
Speaker 1: you're indecisive about your home reno design and all that.
11:38
Speaker 1: I'm sure these things take time. All the best when
11:41
Speaker 1: it comes to that. I personally have two friends right
11:43
Speaker 1: now who are going through this. One is moving into
11:46
Speaker 1: a rental while their house is going to be done
11:48
Speaker 1: in about a year or so.
11:50
Speaker 1: And my other friend, she just got herself a resale.
11:54
Speaker 1: So I'm very excited for her and all my friends
11:56
Speaker 1: who are, you know, sparking off a new start. But
11:59
Speaker 1: here's a gentle reminder to us all, even here in Singapore,
12:02
Speaker 1: although most of us locals, we know how strict it
12:05
Speaker 1: is when it comes to photography, videography, especially drones, OK?
12:10
Speaker 1: The usage of drones requires permits for sure. Um, unfortunately
12:14
Speaker 1: for this freelance photographer from Thailand,
12:17
Speaker 1: He flew a drone without a permit and captured footage
12:21
Speaker 1: of our Safti and Pasir Laba camp. OK. I think
12:25
Speaker 1: it's still being investigated right now, but um, he's been
12:28
Speaker 1: fined $15,000 and he's pleaded guilty to several offenses already.
12:33
Speaker 1: So, I think I'm looking into the case a little
12:36
Speaker 1: bit more, um, he, he works as a freelance photographer
12:38
Speaker 1: for various companies, but um he bought this DGI Mavic
12:43
Speaker 1: 4 Pro drone, which I've seen before uh when it
12:45
Speaker 1: comes to snowboarding. I've seen a lot of these videos
12:48
Speaker 1: like people using a really cool DGI Mavic.
12:52
Speaker 1: Uh, drones for their snowboarding and skiing videos, but this one, OK,
12:56
Speaker 1: this one definitely is, is, uh, he's, he's, he's really
13:00
Speaker 1: breaking a lot of rules here. Now, he decided to
13:03
Speaker 1: visit Singapore before going to KL and I believe that,
13:07
Speaker 1: you know, he was doing a little bit of work
13:09
Speaker 1: here in Singapore and all that, um, and he was told,
13:12
Speaker 1: or rather, we are told here in the news that
13:14
Speaker 1: he was taking photos to be used in marketing materials
13:17
Speaker 1: in Thailand.
13:18
Speaker 1: However, this drone footage, I mean, a little bit sussed
13:22
Speaker 1: right now. I'm just wondering why was he even in
13:24
Speaker 1: that area in the first place, but the drone has
13:27
Speaker 1: been seized and plenty of penalties now and uh he's,
13:30
Speaker 1: he's facing, I guess he's facing the fine as I
13:34
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. So we'll see what else happens or what
13:37
Speaker 1: else the investigation unfolds and reveals, but just a gentle
13:41
Speaker 1: reminder to be very careful here in Singapore. I think
13:44
Speaker 1: back then when I was in school,
13:46
Speaker 1: You know, I was in film school, right? So it
13:48
Speaker 1: was at the dawn of drone usage. I think people
13:52
Speaker 1: started discovering like, hey, there's this, you know, thing called
13:54
Speaker 1: a drone. Could we use this for our project and stuff?
13:57
Speaker 1: And shortly after that, I think there were a lot
14:00
Speaker 1: of rules being imposed because um people were starting to
14:03
Speaker 1: get their hands on, on drones. so easy nowadays, to
14:05
Speaker 1: be honest, right? So simple.
14:08
Speaker 1: Overseas could be slightly different. They may not be um
14:11
Speaker 1: as strict, but of course, when it comes to anything
14:14
Speaker 1: related to public security, safety, our army, everything, yeah, those
14:19
Speaker 1: you gotta avoid for sure. Make sure that if you
14:21
Speaker 1: wanna do some filming, you have to try and apply
14:24
Speaker 1: for a permit, 100%. You need it. Coming up in
14:26
Speaker 1: just a few minutes, had a few um of you
14:28
Speaker 1: DMing me this morning and over the weekend as well
14:31
Speaker 1: because I posted that I was over at Flower Market
14:33
Speaker 1: Singapore at IMB.
14:35
Speaker 1: At Gardens by the Bay. I, I'm sure you would
14:37
Speaker 1: have seen it. It's been dominating all your social media platforms, TikTok, Instagram.
14:42
Speaker 1: You've seen pictures, you've seen videos of somewhat both sides
14:47
Speaker 1: of the spectrum, right? You've got the nice part of
14:49
Speaker 1: it where people actually can go and enjoy, expand your creativity,
14:53
Speaker 1: and then on the flip side, you get a bit
14:55
Speaker 1: of ugly behavior.
14:56
Speaker 1: I want to break it down for you in just
14:58
Speaker 1: a few minutes and maybe just clarify a thing or
15:01
Speaker 1: two as well about what's going on at Flower Market Singapore. Um,
15:05
Speaker 1: I'm not paid to say this at all, but as
15:07
Speaker 1: a fellow enthusiast when it comes to going down for
15:10
Speaker 1: art exhibitions and for experiencing things with like my best friends,
15:13
Speaker 1: when we just decide, hey, you know what, let's have
15:15
Speaker 1: a girls' afternoon.
15:16
Speaker 1: Let's book a slot and let's go. Um, thankfully, we
15:18
Speaker 1: managed to get a slot. But yes, um, I'm gonna
15:21
Speaker 1: tell you how I felt about it and how my
15:23
Speaker 1: experience was in just a bit. Uh, over the weekend,
15:26
Speaker 1: on Saturday, actually, I was posting that I visited Flower
15:29
Speaker 1: Market Singapore and yes, we booked a slot. We went down, um,
15:33
Speaker 1: my bestie and I were like, OK, we gotta be prepared.
15:35
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hot when we're walking there. It was
15:38
Speaker 1: incredibly hot on Saturday, by the way.
15:40
Speaker 1: But I think one thing that I wanted to just
15:42
Speaker 1: give a big shout out to is that I know
15:44
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk on social media about
15:46
Speaker 1: how um it's overcrowded, you know, the, the wait time
15:50
Speaker 1: is long, people are being turned away, um, walk-ins were
15:54
Speaker 1: closed due to overwhelming response and there were some unhappy
15:57
Speaker 1: people that were commenting on, on social media. Firstly, um, I,
16:01
Speaker 1: I do, I did notice that the, the staff that
16:04
Speaker 1: were standing outside, right, I really feel for them because
16:07
Speaker 1: it's already been stated that
16:09
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, while they are handling a lot of
16:12
Speaker 1: people right now, the entrance, when it was, uh, when
16:16
Speaker 1: walk-ins were available, it was subject to availability as well
16:19
Speaker 1: and subject to how many people were in there, right,
16:22
Speaker 1: due to the crowds. So sometimes I feel that, that
16:27
Speaker 1: people really give staff members a hard time too, because
16:30
Speaker 1: I saw people just like treating them not very nicely,
16:33
Speaker 1: you know, in a very demanding and uh and
16:37
Speaker 1: I would say even entitled kind of manners. So, I
16:39
Speaker 1: would say I want to give a big hug to
16:41
Speaker 1: all the staff members, not just over at Flower Market Iba,
16:44
Speaker 1: but many other places as well that you have to
16:46
Speaker 1: deal with massive crowds, you know, they don't want to
16:48
Speaker 1: turn you away. It's not.
16:49
Speaker 1: Their fault. They are not the ones that want to
16:51
Speaker 1: turn you away. It's just overcrowded and I think it's
16:53
Speaker 1: for everyone's safety and sanity that they put a cap
16:57
Speaker 1: to the amount of people in there. So, I don't
16:59
Speaker 1: actually disagree with them stopping walk-ins at some points. And also,
17:03
Speaker 1: I heard that there were a lot of visitors not
17:06
Speaker 1: from Singapore, although I know it doesn't give Singapore a
17:10
Speaker 1: very good name when you see people rushing like that
17:12
Speaker 1: and trying to snatch up the flowers, but
17:14
Speaker 1: I did hear, actually, the majority of them are not
17:17
Speaker 1: even from Singapore, but unfortunately for crowds like that and
17:21
Speaker 1: for um collections with a lot of cult following, people
17:25
Speaker 1: are just such big fans, right? I have a feeling
17:28
Speaker 1: that people are trying to resell these items on, on
17:31
Speaker 1: social media or on other sorts of platforms too, you know,
17:33
Speaker 1: which is quite, it's quite sad to see. I really
17:36
Speaker 1: still hope that you have a good time because I
17:38
Speaker 1: sure did.
17:39
Speaker 1: I mean, regardless of the amount of people that were there,
17:41
Speaker 1: you know, if you just go with a friend or
17:43
Speaker 1: go with someone that you really enjoy spending time with, um, we,
17:46
Speaker 1: we really had such a great time putting a bouquet together, although, yeah,
17:50
Speaker 1: for sure, there were plenty of people, we had to
17:52
Speaker 1: wait around a bit, but I think it was still
17:54
Speaker 1: a fun activity for my bestie and I. So we
17:56
Speaker 1: already booked our slots for Juju World next weekend. I'm
18:00
Speaker 1: gonna be there. So, um, yeah, I, I can't believe
18:04
Speaker 1: that I'm going down to try and get myself a juju,
18:06
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's my first time ever.
18:08
Speaker 1: Going down willingly for um a blind box kind of situation. I,
18:13
Speaker 1: I don't really do that, but the juju doll is
18:16
Speaker 1: quite cute lah. So yeah, I didn't didn't mind. My
18:18
Speaker 1: friend and I are like, we're definitely going. Gonna dive
18:21
Speaker 1: straight into it. Talk about rejection here today. Not to
18:24
Speaker 1: kick off your week with a questionable in a questionable way, right?
18:28
Speaker 1: But I think this is quite relatable because this story.
18:32
Speaker 1: Became something very inspiring and motivational for a lot of us, right?
18:36
Speaker 1: Especially if we want to pursue something, but we're not
18:38
Speaker 1: quite sure whether it, it is the thing for us.
18:41
Speaker 1: This man here from Singapore, he's officially graduated with a
18:45
Speaker 1: Harvard PhD after several rejections by local universities, and I
18:51
Speaker 1: think he cited that at the time, his grades were
18:54
Speaker 1: not that good and um he didn't manage to pursue
18:58
Speaker 1: what he was interested in.
18:59
Speaker 1: And only later on in life did he, did he
19:02
Speaker 1: pursue that and was able to do that, which got
19:04
Speaker 1: me thinking about the time where actually I applied for poly, right?
19:08
Speaker 1: And this was before our actual O-level grades came out, OK?
19:11
Speaker 1: So you can apply for like, um, like a direct
19:14
Speaker 1: admission situation. I'm not sure if it's the, they still
19:16
Speaker 1: call it the same thing now, but back then it
19:18
Speaker 1: was something like direct admission, right? So, I applied based
19:22
Speaker 1: on my prelim results, which were very bad. It was
19:25
Speaker 1: atrocious and terrible, but I was hoping that I could
19:27
Speaker 1: win them over with, you know, my personality.
19:30
Speaker 1: But, OK. Problem was I did not even land the
19:34
Speaker 1: interview for direct admission. In fact, I got rejected by
19:38
Speaker 1: several schools here in Singapore, and I, I don't know
19:41
Speaker 1: whether in that way, it made me want to lock
19:44
Speaker 1: in and score better, you know, for my O-levels, but
19:48
Speaker 1: no regrets because it it is what it is and
19:50
Speaker 1: everything happens for a reason. So I'm still very, I'm
19:52
Speaker 1: really happy that I managed to make it into my
19:54
Speaker 1: first choice, which was uh Neon Mascom, right?
19:57
Speaker 1: But it didn't stop me from thinking about those times
20:00
Speaker 1: that I got rejected from other poly, just based on grades, OK?
20:03
Speaker 1: This was purely based on grades. So, I don't blame
20:06
Speaker 1: them because I certainly wasn't the most academic person. I
20:10
Speaker 1: really need to have motivation to rise to the occasion,
20:12
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So, thankfully I did eventually.
20:15
Speaker 1: But let's talk about rejection here today. Be it school,
20:18
Speaker 1: be it, I don't know, relationships, jobs, whatever, something that
20:21
Speaker 1: we have to experience at least several times in our lives, right?
20:24
Speaker 1: And what is life without a bit of rejection? And
20:27
Speaker 1: the only way to go is up when you're, when
20:29
Speaker 1: you're down in that moment. So, give me a call,
20:31
Speaker 1: 669-11987 or you can drop me a WhatsApp message, 90050987.
20:37
Speaker 1: Thanks to this guy who has inspired many of us.
20:40
Speaker 1: Big shout out to Mr. Joel Tan, by the way, um,
20:43
Speaker 1: for sharing.
20:44
Speaker 1: His story on so many different platforms. Give me a
20:47
Speaker 1: call or a WhatsApp message, 90050987. When was the last
20:52
Speaker 1: time you experienced rejection?
20:55
Speaker 1: It can be in any way, shape or form, OK? School,
20:58
Speaker 1: is it a relationship? Is it a date? Is it
21:01
Speaker 1: something related to your work, job, anything at all. It could,
21:05
Speaker 1: it could go across any of these categories. Give me
21:07
Speaker 1: a call right now at 669-11987. In exchange, I've got
21:10
Speaker 1: a lovely experience with $100 coming your way. I'll tell
21:13
Speaker 1: you more about that and what you're gonna win in
21:14
Speaker 1: just a while. Talking about rejection. Now, rejection comes in
21:18
Speaker 1: many ways, shapes and forms, right?
21:21
Speaker 1: And this actually inspired my topic here today, giving a
21:24
Speaker 1: big shout out here to Joel Tan, who said, you
21:27
Speaker 1: know what, he graduated with a Harvard PhD after unfortunately
21:30
Speaker 1: getting rejected by some universities here locally, and he sent
21:35
Speaker 1: a lot of credit out to those who gave him
21:36
Speaker 1: a chance, and I can kind of, I can kind
21:38
Speaker 1: of relate, although I did not get a PhD from Harvard,
21:41
Speaker 1: but when I was applying for polys, my prelim results
21:45
Speaker 1: were not fantastic. In fact, it was, it was, it
21:48
Speaker 1: was trash. It was really bad.
21:49
Speaker 1: Um, so I think, you know, I got a bit
21:51
Speaker 1: concerned and my parents were also like, maybe you should
21:53
Speaker 1: try direct admission just in case, right? I applied. Unfortunately,
21:56
Speaker 1: I got rejected and I started really worrying and that's
22:00
Speaker 1: when I was like, OK, I got to lock in
22:01
Speaker 1: and try and do well, so that I can get
22:03
Speaker 1: into my top choice, right, which is actually Nan Mascom. Thankfully,
22:07
Speaker 1: made it there and the rest is history, but it
22:10
Speaker 1: also taught me a lot, right?
22:12
Speaker 1: Um, I think for the most part, we fear rejection,
22:14
Speaker 1: for sure. So we're talking rejection today. Heading to our
22:17
Speaker 1: messages first before we head to the phone lines. I'm
22:20
Speaker 1: saying hi to Anonymous. Say, hey, morning, Sonia, please keep
22:23
Speaker 1: me anonymous. Speaking of rejection, I actually plucked up the
22:27
Speaker 1: courage to ask a girl out after many, many months
22:30
Speaker 1: of having massive crush on her.
22:32
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, she rejected me in a very, very nice, sweet manner,
22:37
Speaker 1: but it doesn't stop me from feeling a little bit
22:39
Speaker 1: of heartbreak still. Although, you know what, I'm proud of
22:42
Speaker 1: myself for trying because if I, I tried to do
22:45
Speaker 1: this 5 years ago, I probably wouldn't have had the
22:47
Speaker 1: courage or the confidence to do so. So, just wanted
22:50
Speaker 1: to share.
22:51
Speaker 1: with you today. Oh, thank you. Thank you, Anonymous for
22:53
Speaker 1: that story. I mean, look, it, it does happen to
22:57
Speaker 1: the best of us, right? Um, I'm not sure if, uh,
23:00
Speaker 1: I've had friends who told me about any rejection stories lately.
23:03
Speaker 1: I think the most recent one from one of my
23:05
Speaker 1: besties is job-related. So if you want to tell me
23:08
Speaker 1: more about that, that also works. Saying hi here, um,
23:11
Speaker 1: morning to you, Dave. You said, morning, Sonia. Actually, Joakim
23:15
Speaker 1: is missed for this subject of rejections. He should have
23:18
Speaker 1: been here. Oh no.
23:20
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he'll be back tomorrow. I'll fill him
23:22
Speaker 1: in on um the kind things our listeners have been
23:26
Speaker 1: saying about the topic of rejection.
23:28
Speaker 1: And why he should be here. OK, more of your
23:30
Speaker 1: messages and calls coming up in just a bit. I've
23:32
Speaker 1: got one more anonymous message and a caller hanging on
23:36
Speaker 1: the line. All the details next, but of course, in
23:38
Speaker 1: exchange for your stories, you're walking away with a beautiful
23:42
Speaker 1: dining experience. This is over at Marriott Singapore Novena, located
23:47
Speaker 1: on level 33. It is beautiful and you can enjoy
23:51
Speaker 1: drink deals. It's a rooftop bar, maybe even
23:54
Speaker 1: Then a little birthday celebration with that skyline scenery in
23:57
Speaker 1: the backdrop. Yeah, this one's for you. It is worth
24:00
Speaker 1: $100 a dining experience thanks to Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena.
24:04
Speaker 1: Phone lines are open once again, 669-11987. When was the
24:08
Speaker 1: last time you experienced rejection? It can be related to
24:11
Speaker 1: your job, school, relationships, anything at all. Uh, one more
24:14
Speaker 1: anonymous message before we go to Ed, who's hanging on
24:17
Speaker 1: the line right now. So saying hi to anonymous texter
24:19
Speaker 1: number 2 here today said,
24:21
Speaker 1: Morning, Sonia. I totally feel you when it comes to
24:24
Speaker 1: being rejected regarding school. I too went through the same
24:28
Speaker 1: thing and I was quite upset because my friends and
24:31
Speaker 1: I made a pact. We have to go to this
24:33
Speaker 1: course together. Unfortunately, I don't think I scored well enough
24:36
Speaker 1: for that and uh I got rejected from my very
24:39
Speaker 1: first choice. I won't say which on, on air right now,
24:43
Speaker 1: but no, now that, that I look back at it,
24:46
Speaker 1: it's been many years and
24:48
Speaker 1: I really feel that everything does happen for a reason,
24:50
Speaker 1: like you said earlier on as well. I have no regrets.
24:53
Speaker 1: I think that I played into my strengths, going to
24:56
Speaker 1: something that I'm more familiar and comfortable with. Thank you,
24:59
Speaker 1: Anonymous section number 2 for that. We got Ed on
25:01
Speaker 1: the line. OK, Ed, what happened recently that's related to rejection?
25:05
Speaker 1: So I went for a job and I went twice.
25:09
Speaker 1: Then they said, oh, I'm sorry, no, I was like, wow,
25:13
Speaker 1: I took leave for this.
25:15
Speaker 1: OK, wait, did they give you a reason why? Um,
25:18
Speaker 1: you know, the funny thing is they're looking for two
25:20
Speaker 1: positions and one is a more senior and then they
25:24
Speaker 1: later found out maybe the senior will be a better fit,
25:26
Speaker 1: but it's kind of unfair because they only want to
25:29
Speaker 1: hire one, but they, I mean, they, they send out
25:31
Speaker 1: a post for two positions. They kind of like played
25:33
Speaker 1: with me and think, OK, maybe the first guy rejected,
25:37
Speaker 1: now I get the second best. So I'm gathering.
25:40
Speaker 1: That you really want to leave your current job, I mean,
25:43
Speaker 1: is that the situation? I'm now on a contract that
25:47
Speaker 1: is being advertised was a permanent role and better environment, yeah.
25:55
Speaker 1: All the best. I really hope that the next one
25:57
Speaker 1: that you go for comes through with something at least.
26:03
Speaker 1: I know it's I think it's not easy.
26:05
Speaker 1: It, right, to be rejected. Hey, everything happens for a reason.
26:08
Speaker 1: Maybe something that wasn't quite right for you. A bit
26:10
Speaker 1: of a unique story coming through right now. We're talking
26:12
Speaker 1: about rejection, OK, all inspired by this guy, this man
26:16
Speaker 1: here from Singapore, who graduated with a Harvard PhD after
26:20
Speaker 1: experiencing rejection by other local universities. I guess, you know,
26:24
Speaker 1: sometimes when you look at your grades, just upfront, I've
26:28
Speaker 1: experienced that kind of rejection before, right?
26:30
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, it is what it is. If the school
26:33
Speaker 1: has a cutoff point, if they're very strict about it, yeah,
26:36
Speaker 1: maybe there's no chance for me at that point. But we,
26:39
Speaker 1: we succeed in our own ways and maybe some of
26:41
Speaker 1: us also take a little bit more time to, to,
26:44
Speaker 1: you know, um, discover our strengths, right? We don't all
26:47
Speaker 1: bloom at the same time. You know what I mean?
26:49
Speaker 1: Anyway, um, interesting rejection story here coming through from C.
26:53
Speaker 1: You didn't quite, you didn't leave your full name. He
26:55
Speaker 1: said just call you by the letter C. That's probably
26:57
Speaker 1: your initial. He said, Morning, Sonia. I'm the one that
27:00
Speaker 1: carried out the rejection. This happened years ago when this
27:04
Speaker 1: guy asked me out and I fully told him, unfortunately,
27:08
Speaker 1: I'm not interested. It carried on for a bit because
27:11
Speaker 1: we were already friends at the time and I actually
27:13
Speaker 1: felt like, hey, you know what, I don't want to
27:14
Speaker 1: ruin this friendship.
27:16
Speaker 1: But fast forward 6 years later, we just got engaged recently. OK, see, congratulations. Um,
27:23
Speaker 1: you carried on to say, also we're both celebrating our
27:26
Speaker 1: big 30 this year. We're turning 30 this year, entering
27:30
Speaker 1: the next phase of our lives. I could not be
27:33
Speaker 1: happier because that rejection led to a lifetime of happiness.
27:37
Speaker 1: I'm just so curious, how did you get convinced in
27:39
Speaker 1: the end? Did you just go like, OK, maybe just
27:41
Speaker 1: give this guy a chance or what, you know?
27:43
Speaker 1: I mean, some of the best love stories come from
27:46
Speaker 1: uncertainty in the beginning or rejection and you laugh about
27:49
Speaker 1: it at the end, right? I'm sure this is gonna
27:51
Speaker 1: come up in your wedding speech as well.
27:53
Speaker 1: In, in the future. Um, is it gonna be a
27:56
Speaker 1: 2026 wedding as well? So many weddings happening this year. Yeah.
28:01
Speaker 1: Let me know if you ever need any help, OK?
28:03
Speaker 1: I mean, not that I can help you plan your wedding,
28:05
Speaker 1: but if you have any questions, let me know. Hey, um,
28:09
Speaker 1: message here coming through from, oh, you didn't leave your
28:12
Speaker 1: name as well.
28:13
Speaker 1: Um, gonna just call you, oh, we, you said, hey, morning, Sonia.
28:17
Speaker 1: This story dates back many years ago but still stays
28:19
Speaker 1: in my memory. I received my A-level results and applied
28:23
Speaker 1: for an overseas scholarship with a local ministry.
28:26
Speaker 1: During the interview, within the first minutes after I sat down,
28:30
Speaker 1: the panel immediately said, unfortunately, we don't think we can
28:34
Speaker 1: give you an overseas scholarship because of your grades. I
28:38
Speaker 1: felt almost lousy straight away. The saving grace was, which
28:42
Speaker 1: was a huge one, midway, they actually ascertained that I
28:46
Speaker 1: seemed decent enough for this scholarship instead.
28:49
Speaker 1: So, sure enough, I was given one, a local scholarship,
28:53
Speaker 1: which I'm forever thankful and grateful for and made my mom,
28:56
Speaker 1: who was widowed at that time, very, very, very proud.
29:00
Speaker 1: By the way, I am still serving in said ministry. OK.
29:04
Speaker 1: So my point is, when a door closes in your face,
29:07
Speaker 1: be patient and a window may still be available. Oh, we,
29:11
Speaker 1: I really like this story. Thank you.
29:12
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for sharing that with me. Um,
29:14
Speaker 1: more stories of rejection coming through in just a bit.
29:17
Speaker 1: Please feel free to send me a message or drop
29:19
Speaker 1: me a call 669-11987 or if a message is better
29:23
Speaker 1: for you, 90050987. Let me know about a story of rejection,
29:30
Speaker 1: something that you've experienced before and what you learned from it.
29:32
Speaker 1: In exchange your $100 dining experience to La Palm.
29:35
Speaker 1: Us over at level 33 of Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena.
29:40
Speaker 1: Time for your last two messages before I wrap it up.
29:42
Speaker 1: I've got some visitors coming to the studio very soon
29:45
Speaker 1: from Nan Poly, all the details later on. But first,
29:48
Speaker 1: we're talking about rejection that could come in any way,
29:50
Speaker 1: shape or form, right? Rejection in terms of school, your job, relationships.
29:55
Speaker 1: I mean, we had a wide variety of stories this morning.
29:58
Speaker 1: I'm going to end it here with a text from Nick.
30:02
Speaker 1: Nick just sent this through and he said, morning, Sonia.
30:04
Speaker 1: Happy Monday. This topic got my mind thinking.
30:08
Speaker 1: I'm in sales and business development role since I started working.
30:11
Speaker 1: From retail, outdoor sales to corporate sales, I've had to
30:15
Speaker 1: deal with rejections at almost a daily basis. I thought
30:19
Speaker 1: I'd be used to it, but every time I lose
30:20
Speaker 1: a deal or a pitch, of course, I still get
30:22
Speaker 1: discouraged and affected. I will take time to assess where
30:25
Speaker 1: I went wrong and remind myself of the errors, but
30:28
Speaker 1: still keep going. Have a great week ahead. Thank you, Nick.
30:31
Speaker 1: This is a, this is a great reminder, you know,
30:33
Speaker 1: because for us as well in this industry, um,
30:36
Speaker 1: A lot of the rejection, let's say if we don't
30:39
Speaker 1: get a particular job or we don't get hired for something,
30:41
Speaker 1: it gets very tied to our own.
30:44
Speaker 1: Personal feelings, you know, we just feel like, uh, am
30:47
Speaker 1: I not good enough? And it really takes a stab
30:50
Speaker 1: at your ego sometimes, right? And your, and your pride
30:52
Speaker 1: in your work, especially if you love what you do. So,
30:55
Speaker 1: I completely feel you and I understand what you mean,
30:57
Speaker 1: but if you're tuning in now, here's some encouragement and
31:00
Speaker 1: support coming your way, big hugs. Rejection is a part
31:04
Speaker 1: of life, and we may experience it today, tomorrow, next month,
31:07
Speaker 1: maybe we experienced a big one last year, you never know.
31:10
Speaker 1: But I'm here to give you some encouragement for your workday.
31:13
Speaker 1: At least have a fantastic week ahead. When we come back,
31:16
Speaker 1: one person is walking away with this beautiful experience thanks

33:17
Speaker 1: So please enjoy your time over there. But I've officially
33:19
Speaker 1: replaced Joakim with like 10 people from Radio Heatwave Neon Poly.
33:26
Speaker 1: I know it's a little early, but they're giving me
33:27
Speaker 1: all the energy they can right now, but in just
33:29
Speaker 1: a while, they're gonna nominate someone to go on air.
33:32
Speaker 1: Can you shout out who is gonna go on air
33:33
Speaker 1: in just a bit?
33:36
Speaker 1: All right. OK, I think they've selected their, um, the
33:39
Speaker 1: person that they want to represent Radio Heatwave for on
33:42
Speaker 1: air in just a little bit. So we'll find out
33:44
Speaker 1: whether he has what it takes to be on 987
33:46
Speaker 1: in the future, maybe take this as an unofficial audition, right?
33:49
Speaker 1: You never know. Now, this is not exactly fresh food.
33:51
Speaker 1: News, but I just wanted to give a big shout
33:54
Speaker 1: out to, uh, something that I mentioned just last week.
33:57
Speaker 1: Tap Tap Treats opening a physical shop, and I didn't
34:00
Speaker 1: realize that it's right opposite one of my best friend's places.
34:03
Speaker 1: So yesterday when we went to play paddle, she actually
34:05
Speaker 1: went to buy it over at the East Coast, um,
34:09
Speaker 1: East Coast store. They opened a new one there recently.
34:12
Speaker 1: It was a home-based business before that.
34:14
Speaker 1: They supposedly sell the best pandan cake in Singapore, right?
34:17
Speaker 1: And I now have to agree, it was so soft, fluffy,
34:20
Speaker 1: moist at the same time that Gula Malaka, um, syrup
34:23
Speaker 1: that they added included. It made all the difference. So
34:27
Speaker 1: I have to say, um, tried and tested. I was
34:29
Speaker 1: not paid to say this. My friend herself, she's like
34:32
Speaker 1: a regular customer now. She loves it and says they
34:35
Speaker 1: have other treats there that are really good too. So, um, yay. More,
34:39
Speaker 1: more reason to come and visit East Coast, that's for sure.
34:43
Speaker 1: Anyway, we'll be back to our lovely students from Neon
34:46
Speaker 1: Poly's Radio Heatwave in just a little bit. Meantime, we've
34:49
Speaker 1: got Ariana Grande and Chaperone lined up for our 10
34:52
Speaker 1: students from Neon Poly.
34:55
Speaker 1: So I, I'm gonna leave and take a short break
34:58
Speaker 1: for a bit. I'm gonna go make some coffee. I
35:00
Speaker 1: want to go use the restroom. So I'm gonna leave
35:03
Speaker 1: it in the good hands of the neon poly students.
35:06
Speaker 1: Hopefully nothing goes wrong there. So please keep an eye
35:08
Speaker 1: out for them for me.
35:09
Speaker 2: You
35:10
Speaker 2: just heard Already Know by The Chainsmokers on Singapore's number
35:12
Speaker 2: one hit music station 987 FM with Sonia leaving, I'm,
35:16
Speaker 2: I'm Razin from Radio Heatwave, and Radio Heatwave is near
35:19
Speaker 2: student-run campus radio station, and we are excited to be
35:22
Speaker 2: bringing a little bit of
35:23
Speaker 2: Campus life to 987. Funny story, I actually met Joakim
35:26
Speaker 2: at the, at Mapletree Business Center and now I'm currently
35:29
Speaker 2: sat in his chair. Unfortunately, he's not here today.
35:31
Speaker 1: We're
35:32
Speaker 1: on to group two of Neon Polly's radio heatwave today.
35:36
Speaker 1: Do you have better energy than group one?
35:40
Speaker 1: OK, a bit of a friendly competition going on here,
35:42
Speaker 1: but yeah, I didn't expect such a big massive group
35:45
Speaker 1: to join us today, but this could be, these could
35:47
Speaker 1: be the voices of your future DJs. You never know, right?
35:50
Speaker 1: So I have one question for the students here. Who
35:53
Speaker 1: are you nominating to go live on air after this? Aaah. OK,
35:59
Speaker 1: so is Aaliyah the most extroverted, most, I don't know,
36:03
Speaker 1: funny person in your group, you would say? Yes, OK, OK.
36:06
Speaker 1: What is up everyone? I'm Alia, a year 3 mass
36:09
Speaker 1: communication student from Ni An Polytechnic.
36:12
Speaker 1: And today I'm really, really excited because I'm with my
36:15
Speaker 1: friends from Radio Heatwave, the hottest thing on campus and
36:19
Speaker 1: Ni An's very own campus radio station. So we are
36:23
Speaker 1: here for a studio visit in night 7 and I
36:26
Speaker 1: would just like to give a big shout out to
36:29
Speaker 1: Sonia Chew for giving me and my friends a huge
36:31
Speaker 1: opportunity to visit Night 7 Station and
36:35
Speaker 1: I can't lie. I'm really, really nervous right now. Like
36:37
Speaker 1: my hands are shaking because I'm tasked to give a
36:41
Speaker 1: talk set, but I'm very honored to do that because
36:44
Speaker 1: there's not many chances for you to do that. And yes,
36:47
Speaker 1: I'm really, really happy to be here. So thank you
36:49
Speaker 1: for that, Sonia. What a fun show. Um, and I
36:53
Speaker 1: just want to give a big shout out to the
36:54
Speaker 1: students of Neon Poly for coming down.
36:57
Speaker 1: Um, as you know, I'm also from Neam Poly, so
36:59
Speaker 1: I might be a little bit biased, but I really
37:01
Speaker 1: love my time there, and it's always a good time
37:04
Speaker 1: connecting with the students that are still there right now
37:07
Speaker 1: that are interested in the media industry. So if you
37:10
Speaker 1: ever feel like your classmates or you, you're interested to
37:14
Speaker 1: come down for a studio visit, we are open for that.
37:16
Speaker 1: And Joe Kim and I would love to, to catch
37:18
Speaker 1: you here as well. So it'd be great, OK?
