• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Thank you for joining us here today. It's like what,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: a year since Gaga has been here already? One year?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: One year and maybe say 4 months because she was
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: here in May 2025 and look, as we enter September today, welcome. Wow!
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe it's the 1st of September already. I
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: know it's mad. We are counting down to loads of
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: things that that's gonna happen here in Singapore very soon.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I think the weekend will be in town.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: That's, that's in a month. And then
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: we have Formula One also happening in October. And this weekend,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: if you're excited, it's the, uh, was it the Italian
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Grand Prix?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, this, this coming weekend?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. It should
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: be.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I'm losing track where they are in the world right now.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Perhaps you could be right. You're right.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Monza Grand Prix this
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: weekend.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be so much fun.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Um, but of course, aside from that, here on the show,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: we are packed, by the way, before you get to
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: school at 7 a.m. Yesterday I had the cutest cutie
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: pie ever that you missed. Um, she called through and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: she's P6 this year. She's taking her PSLE. Um, let
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: me check, double-check what her name was. Let me just
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: scroll real quick. Do we know which school she was from? Yeah, uh,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: she's
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: She's from Nana putting me in a spot. I forgot already.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I've got to scroll back and find out. But yeah, um,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: we'll give you a shout out later on. And on
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: top of that, if you want to walk away with
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: that Cheer's breakfast bundle and $80 worth of fair price vouchers,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that's coming up just before you get to school. I'm
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: sure we have at least one friend who is like
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that in our lives. Mr. Know it all.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, I could name
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: names, but it could be a.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Snow it all as well.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Singapore is too small. Might start a fight. But anyway,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: speaking of fighting and all that, uh,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: what
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Crime Watch. OK,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: yes, yes, Crime Watch. Sorry, back to that.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: It's gonna
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: go international starting today all the way to December 31st
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of this year. Sonia, you know how
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be on some platform.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be on board Singapore Airlines' in-flight entertainment.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, I would watch it. That's so entertaining if I
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: want something, you know, to just catch up
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: with. I mean, for us Singaporeans, we know what Crime
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Watch means, but can you imagine our international friends who
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: fly Singapore Airlines? Oh, let's see what kind of crime
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Singapore goes through, and they see Melvin is not a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: name for a gang member.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I really, I really.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like there are going to be a lot
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: of meme worthy moments already. Like people might actually watch
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and like upload
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: stuff.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait for them to say the previous seasons
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of Crimewatch and they actually see the real episode of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the woman was too, too stunned
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to speak.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: There we go. And, and maybe they will slowly understand
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the meaning of like what is A and alien.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: They might, they
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: might. So there you go. Enjoy it. I think if
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you're flying, it's gonna start today.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's so cool. Honestly, I think this is a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: great idea and it also helps people understand Singapore a
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: little bit better. Or maybe do you think people want,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: they wanted to put it on there as a deterrent
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: in a way that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and also because I think on Crime Watch, there are
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: plenty of different crimes they tackle, like for example, narcotics.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Uh, theft and all that, it could be a warning,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: like you said, like a warning. I don't try, even
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: though we know the acting is a bit suss, but
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the crimes are
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: real.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Actually, there are times where like on certain flights that
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I've been on before, not particularly Singapore Airlines, but maybe
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: because people who fly Singapore Airlines know already mostly what
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Singapore is about, right? But other airlines, they do give
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: you a warning as you are flying into Singapore saying.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Singapore has a very strict stand on drug use or
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: whatever else, you know, they mentioned. Yeah.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Out of
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: curiosity, right, I googled when did Crime Watch Singapore start?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Take a guess.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: 1993,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a little bit older.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Really? 1981,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: 1986. OK. Crimewatch is 40 years old. I, I wonder
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: whether is it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Singapore's longest running series piece of series that we have
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: on television online. Yeah,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I'm curious as well.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: It could be.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I can't think of anything else that has been running
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: for so long. This is
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Singapore's Days of Our Lives. Sonia.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: That, that is a title of a show I've not
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: heard in centuries, OK. My mom used to follow that
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and even though she used to follow it religiously, I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: think that we were already receiving like the show much
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: later than what it was aired in the US.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So I guess Crimewatch is Singapore's soap opera. There we go.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: But I'm very curious to, um, I wish I was
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: in the room where they were selecting the episodes. I
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: don't think they put up all. Maybe it'll be like
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: specific season selections. If you're flying, let me know. Yeah, 669. Well,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: today is also going to be a pretty fun day
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: for us because Joki yesterday I was talking about this
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: at the end of the show and I said you're
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: definitely gonna chuckle because we're headed to Kentridge Sec this afternoon.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Oh wait,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it's the school you used to.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait for this. I wonder what are there
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: going to be any of your ex-colleagues who are still
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: teaching in
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that school. Here's the thing, I don't remember anymore because
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it's been too long and it was quite fleeting for me.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Like I didn't really make that many friends while I
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: was there. It was a short stint and temporary as well.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: So I, I don't even think I can recall who
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I've met. And besides, I'm not even sure whether they
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: will make the link. You know what I mean? They
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: may not make the link like, oh, you were the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: relief teacher back then.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Beauty teachers like go in and out so quickly.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: But this is a story you tell the students at
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Kent Ridge Secondary. Oh yeah,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: 100%. Maybe
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: 1:30. I think
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that's our we're gonna be there. Yeah. So I, I
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: was just laughing because I remember back then, uh, due
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to the fact that I was still quite close in
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: age to them, uh, the head of department advised me
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: not to, um, make it too known or like say.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Like, oh yeah, I'm only this age. She's like, if
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: they assume that you are 23 or 24, which is
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the age of most of the relief teachers, she was like,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: then just, you know, leave it that way. Don't say anything.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Don't invite trouble is what she said.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: When we come back here on the circuit though, when
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: it comes to the world of movies, Sonia, we go
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: from Spider-Man Brand New Day, The Odyssey,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: no,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to Boys to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Firemen.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, what, what are you gonna, you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: slam me about now? What show are you gonna slam
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: me about?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday or the day before that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: our friend Jack
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Neo yesterday,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: he has announced the casting for Boys
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to Firemen, and the cast members themselves all, I think,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: synced up their posts yesterday as well.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I think they were told to do so. Yeah,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: OK, OK, so I mentioned this earlier and Joakim told
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: me his guests very briefly.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I said this has not happened since the year 2020.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: A pandemic, touch wood. Let's not go back there. OK. The,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the theory is that it will happen like in every
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: generation or I don't know, once every, I don't know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: 100 years or something. How long? No, actually it wasn't
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: that long since we had a previous pandemic.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: SARS was 2003. COVID was 2019, 2020.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: When we're just 6 years away from COVID being a pandemic.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Let's give the world a break. We got a lot
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: going on already.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: too much and a lot of natural disasters happening in,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you know, um, other parts of the world. We're sending
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: our love Nepal. So, uh, like I mentioned, this hasn't
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: happened since the year 2020. You're not wrong to relate
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: it to COVID because it's related to the ERP. Now,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the ERP.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Wasn't.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Because I think at that time nobody was traveling about, right?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: So I think they discontinued ERP in many areas, especially
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Orchard Road, if I'm not wrong, that's the reason why.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Because when you mentioned the words ERP, the letters ERP, right?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I thought of what I did with Fred Vest. I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: was helping him get familiar with road signs here in Singapore.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: The video is available on social media, by the way,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and when I got to my last one, the ERP,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: there was a crowd, you know, looking at him and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: all that, right? The moment they saw the sign, they
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: went boom.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Oh,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: oh no.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Well,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: maybe they have certain feelings about it because the ERP
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: is going to resume in the Orchard area for the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: first time since 2020.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Hey, actually, this one I support. You know
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: why? It's overcrowded, is it now? When
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Louisa and I were broadcasting on Saturday when Orchard Road
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: stretch was still open.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Bideford Road was open at the same time. The amount
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of honking and cars trying to beat each other to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the red
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: light,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: but that, that junction there has always been problematic. The
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: one near Paragon, right?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: But surprisingly
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: on Sunday with the Orchard Road stretch closed, Bideford Road
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: was actually very smooth.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Because everyone avoided the area. Yeah, but they have to
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: avoid because why would you want to get stuck in
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: a roadblock, you know what I mean? So that it's
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: obvious why there was no one there. Uh, but weekday
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: charges are going to resume at a rate of $1
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: from the 7th of September for 11 different locations in
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the Orchard area. And I just realized, huh, there are
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: 11 locations in Orchard.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't even realize that
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Orchard Road it's a long stretch. I know a long
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: stretch down to I think maybe even Plaza.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: But it's just like sometimes when I drive through and
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I just notice how many traffic lights there are, I'm
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: like there's a lot of traffic lights for a short stretch, uh,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: but just something for you to take note of and
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: not to be surprised or, you know, um, be caught
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: unaware because you don't want to have like too little
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: in your cart or something.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: OK, so correct me if I'm wrong because I don't drive, right?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Your car now goes into the new OBU,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: OK, it's usually around the passenger side or your leg,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: whichever way that you cared to 10 years ago,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: right? Oh yeah, for sure. Actually, I think they still
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: have those top-ups in car parks for people who don't
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: use the app, but majority of people use the.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Now and you can even turn on like auto top
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: up for certain cards and certain accounts. So, yeah, so
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: very easy. Literally just scan it with your phone and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: top up.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: No longer holding up the queue over parking lots. Yeah,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I know I've done that before, you know, and some
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: malls actually even put the top-up station at the gantry
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: because of these situations. But I guess now it's, it
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: will be obsolete soon lah, these machines.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: So remember September.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: 7th, it begins all over again. I, I'm
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: sorry, I'm just chuckling because it was last week or
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: two weeks ago, where a random Rubik's Cube appeared in
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: our studio. And ever since then, like Joakim and I
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: have just been like occasionally playing around with it. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: found a video that allegedly has the formula and the
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: hack to, to solve the Rubik's Cube that goes according
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to a song lyric, OK.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: So I, I convinced Joakim to try and do it
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: and we're in the midst of trying it now.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Can you please sing it on? Here we
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: go. OK, so it's 123, get down. 123, get down,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: and he's, he's turning it and then flipping it down.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: That's what he's doing. OK. And then it goes 1,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: get down, 2, get down.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: 1, get down, 2.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Get down and then you repeat 123, get down.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I think I'm the worst person to do this alive.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Does it not work? I think you got to do
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: it a few more times.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I would like to report it's been 2 weeks. I've
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: been trying to solve a Rubik's
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Cube
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: and there's someone in the studio that has been solving it,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: you know, and they put the completed one in the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: studio only for us to mess it up the next morning.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: They must be wondering who keeps doing this. It's us.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: When we come back though, Sonia.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: In the world of movies, from Spider-Man Brand New Day
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to the Odyssey, very soon, Dune Part 3 and Avengers Doomsday.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Next year, our Boys to Firemen. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: mean this is our own universe right here. They've got
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: their own universe. We
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: have the cast list for you and Jack.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I knew I was doing a Chris Nolan la pulling
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: in his favorites
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to be in the movie.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, um, quite sad that we didn't pass the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: audition though.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Were we ever considered that's my question. Maybe you more
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: than me.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: No, but how funny would it have been if, uh, the, the,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the spoof that we did actually got.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Scene.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: It's still available on social media,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: by the way
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: hilarious. Anyway, all the details next. Alright,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: so next year, Boys to Firemen.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I think it's CNY 2027. You are
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: absolutely right. Can I
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Actually break to you, not say break, like share with
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you the newbies who will be in the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: film.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, I saw some familiar faces. Wanna say
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: congratulations to content creator Lukman Hakim. OK, so Lukman, if
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you're tuned in, you're gonna have a lot to do
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: right now because people online, right, they're saying, hey, Lukman
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: is a nice guy, he's a nice content creator, but
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: can he act? That's the question people are asking.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Then there's Reynold Tan, Malaysian actor and content creator Chai
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Chang Yong, and Kiki Darling, also a content creator here
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in Singapore. So
• 13:20

• 13:20
  Speaker 2: think I saw one, this guy called Jev, he's a model,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: that he's also in the lineup if I'm not wrong, yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: So with the amount of content creators who are in
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the newbies cast, right, I think it's kind of obvious
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Jack is going for numbers here. No, really, because when
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: he was asked about.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Malaysian content creator Chai Chang Yong, he said, oh, he
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: has 2 million followers. You know, if I cast him,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: that means all of Malaysia will know that he's in
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: my movie and he can help with box office numbers.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say it is this guy, right? Like
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: this bro right here.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I guess so that's it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I've actually met him and his wife like
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: a couple of times overseas for like work related stuff.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: He's a funny guy. He's like a comedian.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Are you ready for who is in like the main
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: cast or the the the Chris Nolanification of Jack Neo movies?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It's the ones that he always relies on.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: You ready?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: We got actor Jin Sidali. Congratulations. Noah Yap, yeah, he's back.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Maxi Lim.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Tosh Chang is back in the film. Oh yeah, and OK,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna actually predict something here, right, being a
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I can't call myself a film student, but somebody who
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: appreciates cinema, OK. When you watch Boyz to Men, Tosha's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: character is Sergeant Alex Ong. OK. In Boys to Firemen,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Tosha's character is Sergeant Daniel Ong.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna predict this. There's gonna be a, he's my brother.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Actually, I, I wanted to, you know, you answered my question,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: but I was just wondering whether they would somehow link
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the two because since they're using the same actors, I
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, maybe they will reveal like, oh, they
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: chose this service, you know what I mean? What, what
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: do you call that? They chose this, um.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: segment to specialize in
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: specialization
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: in other words,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Jack is cooking in the total defense multiverse. I cannot
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: wait to see what happens next year. But social media comments,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to be fair, right, some are saying, hey, where are
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the Abang bombers? Where are they?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, and
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: it doesn't help that Malaysia had their Merdeka celebrations a
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: few days ago, right, and now you're seeing videos of
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the Abang bombers being paraded around and
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: they're pretty cute, man. I gotta say, I'm not gonna lie,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie, like those videos went viral for
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: a reason.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so maybe these are the main cast and perhaps
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you're gonna see loads of cameos or the actual.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: SCDF personnel doing the important actions. Yes,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that the cast had to undergo some training
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: for sure. Yeah, like, um, you just, you know, have
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the professionals on standby to show them, you know, this
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: is how you do it, OK, just to be accurate.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: So
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: let's see what happens again. It's gonna be out on
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Chinese New Year next year 2027.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I, I don't mind watching it, to be honest.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And before we go into our next song, Sonia, I
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: do want to say hello to two little cuties who
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I saw on Friday, OK, Clara and Chloe.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Clara and Chloe,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: good morning to you. They came down from Fresh Music Live,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and I think the mom and dad were saying, oh,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: they called through to our show during the school jams,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and I think it was Chloe that was from Saint
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Anthony's Kenosian
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Primary. Oh, so they're not in the same school.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: right now, Cutie pies. OK, I hope that they're still
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: tuned in. They might be in school already at 7:40. OK,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: something that really made me chuckle, and I really want
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to applaud these girls over in the Sengkang area, OK.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: What could have escalated to become a police case or
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: or categorized under Bodo crime, which I still feel it's
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: loosely categorized under Bodo crime. It should be.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Because following people in a stalkerish way um can be
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: an offense as well, especially if you know, people have
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the proof and the receipts that you've been following them
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: and having this behavior. This, um, a little bit of
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: a weird guy, older man, was following two girls over
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: in the Sengkang area, allegedly, OK, following them.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: And he was acting suspicious. He was lurking around the pillars,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: very obviously staring at them, and um I think when
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: it was revealed in the video what actually happened, he
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: did eventually try to ask them like if um if
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I give you some money, will you do something for me?
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: So he did sort of try and solicit a favor,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: although they never found out what it was. But after
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: these ghosts realized this guy is damn suspicious, right? They
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: were like, why is he lurking about following?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: They decided to follow him back. They refused to back down.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: They ran after him instead, and he runs off and
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: he started apologizing and saying sorry, and they got it
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: all down on video. It is up now on, on
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: TikTok and Instagram if I'm
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: not
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: wrong.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: It's gone
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: viral, absolutely
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: viral and it's been picked up by publications as well.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I think I don't want to use the word hilarious
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: because it's actually a serious problem. Yeah, it is. They
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: are just two of the many that are being stalked
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: but they are brave enough to do something about it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: But on the flip side, it could have been worse.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: If for example, this creepy guy or weird guy was
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: holding on to a knife or stuff like that, it
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: could have gone very wrong. So again,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: If you do feel like you're being stalked, go into
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: a public area immediately alert security or call the police
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: if you're feeling that way, and you can prove that
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: there's someone following you. So we see plenty of TikTok
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: videos saying that the thing about stalkers is if you
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: film them.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: They're uncomfortable, but on the other side as well, I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: think some of these stalkers, especially now that the two
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: girls chased them, right, maybe you could go home thinking, hey,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: they noticed me, they chased me. I
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: should go and stalk them again.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: That's a very interesting, why would you know that?
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Why would you think that joke? No,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: because I love watching crime documentaries and stuff like that.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you feed their, they want
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: to do it again.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: But you see, the thing is, I think that he
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: was genuinely shocked. Like he looked genuinely, the way that
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: he reacted was in, in genuine shock, right? And yeah,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that that's, that's the reason why I said, you know,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I applaud.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: These two girls for having the bravery to do so, but, um,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: as you rightfully mentioned, sometimes if you judge and you
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: see it's a bit of a dangerous situation, especially in
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: other countries, you know, where they're armed differently, potentially, um,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: you just got to be really careful and hopefully leave
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: it to the authorities, but I'm very glad that these
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: two girls are fine. They proved their point and they
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: decided not to make a police report unless it happens again.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: But for now, it seems like they might have chased
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: him off.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think what we can do stalkers.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Because some of them are very smart. Yeah, they, they
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: do it within the boundaries of the public space.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: And don't forget, remember I used to have one that
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: looked exactly like a guy that works in the CBD.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Like he looked totally normal. Remember him? Yes. How could
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: you forget, right?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: The amount of
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: times I have to protect you from that guy. So
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: last night was a belated celebration for my.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Good friend, Iggy's birthday.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Happy birthday, Iggy.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: And the same thing like last year when Sammy's curry,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: so creature of habit,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to which I screamed at him. Next year please pick
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: somewhere else because it's the usual thing after Sammi's go
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: red
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: dot. Hold on, hold on. You said that to Iggy,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: like your best friend,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: actually coming from
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: coming from you who is the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: You are literally the most creature of habit person in
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: my life, OK? I mean, that phrase was made for you.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: If I get a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: yearly burnt ends, I wouldn't mind being a creature of
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: habit lah, you know, Sonia.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I think next year I'm gonna find you another sponsor.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Ask someone else to sponsor you
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: burnt ends to Essence, which is great. I love Essence,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: by the way, but um, it was at, I think
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: it was at Red Dot after our meal at Sami's.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: We were just catching up. There were 7 or 8
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: of us in total, and we're just having some random convos,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: and you know how sometimes with 8 people, 4 will
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: be talking about point A, the other 4 point B.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: But then there was one, I don't know how it
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: got to this where.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: He was sharing about how when he was younger, right,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: his dad would say interesting things and it got me
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: wondering as well. So I think when he was in
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: primary one, I remember he said his dad said, Oh,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you know, my father told me that he can lift
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: a finger with one
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: car.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Lift a finger lift a finger
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: finger with one finger and my father can move and
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: carry the buildings from one place to another, and he
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: believed that. So being primary one.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: You believe what?
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm guessing because he's a dad now, as your friend,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: he's a dad now, he's probably saying these things to
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: his
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: son.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think he has. He's
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: not
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: come
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: up with any random stories.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: No.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: So he was saying, yeah, so in primary one when
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: my dad said this, I believe I went to school
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and tell my friends, Oh my God, he, my father
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: can lift the car with one finger. OK, my father
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: can carry the buildings from point A to point B,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: you know, then as you grow older, you realize a
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: bloody scammer.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Like, but it was so, it's so entertaining to hear.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I think we all burst out laughing, and I was
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: just wondering, like, have I been told anything like that
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: as a kid, you know, to kind of scare me
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: or to kind of wow me a bit. The closest
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I can think of is my godpa, right? He used
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to have this ring with like a blue gemstone, gemstone
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: or diamond on it, right.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: And as a way to discipline me, he will say,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: this is a boxing ring. OK, if you're naughty, I'll
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: show you why I got this ring on my finger.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: So I got scared and I was like in K1, K2,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: primary one, that very impressionable age as a kid, you know.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: So I go to school saying, Hey, my godfather got
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: a boxing ring, you know. So sometimes my godpa picks
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: me up in school. He has this like very imposing presence. See,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: that's my godpa. You see the ring, see the ring.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Then I realized as I got older it's some like
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: some chapalang pasamalam nonsense ring.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Honestly, honestly, probably like an uncle Heng sold it to
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: him and some absolutely right or hun sold
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: it
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to him. Yeah, maybe he thought it was a nice
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: accessory to, you know, look good and flex, so you
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: believed it. Give him a boxing ring. How do I
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: believe all these lies? This is why Singaporeans are falling
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: for scams.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: OK, I, I, I hope that we are a bit more, uh,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: wary when it comes to scams. But I think back then,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: not that my parents or my dad taught me any
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: magical ability that they had, but I truly believed that
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: my dad was like a math wizard or something.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Because he taught me how to use algebra in, in
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: primary school, OK, to which I couldn't catch any ball.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know what was going on, but to him
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: it was so easy. He's like, see like this, and
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: it's so easy. done.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: But, but he didn't openly declare that I'm a math. No,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: but the way that he like wrote the formulas and
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: like drew it out for me and everything, it almost,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: it made me feel like, OK, this guy confirmed prodigy.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: But OK, in actual fact, I think he's just very
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: much more inclined in the math and science side of things,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: and I just, I just didn't inherit that. So, so
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: you know how these things skip a generation, right? So
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: maybe it skipped you. Your kid in the future might
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: be a child
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: prodigy.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Oh man, but I hope my kid has personality and
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: wits like me.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, being a child prodigy and having that, wow, that's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: a winner,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: winning combination. I hope so. I hope so. Anyway, give
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: us a call 669-11987.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: And let us know, in the past, as you were
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: growing up, right, did you ever believe that your parents
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: had superpowers or they were like, you know, they were superhuman?
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: If your parents can lift the car with a finger,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: let us know as
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: well.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: What kind of things did they tell you they could do, right? Yeah.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Let us know and let's have some fun with this.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: In exchange, we would love to give you an assorted
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: mooncake set from one Chinese Restaurant over at Singapore Marriott
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Tang Plaza Hotel. This is worth almost $200.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Call us right now 669-11987 and we're going to our
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: messages first.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: All
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: inspired by the loving white lies that our parents told
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: us when we were kids.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Or maybe just the impressions that they left on us, right?
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Like we would have always thought, yeah, our parents are
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: superheroes or superhumans and they will never die.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I remember that's always what I feel in primary school, right,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: who told us that his father is the prince of
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: some island. Oh no, no.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Poor guy. I hope he has learned the truth already. Anyway,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: one coming in from Andy. Andy says, Good morning, guys.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: My mom used to tell me that my dad personally
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: climbs Little Qilin Mountain just to get quail eggs. That's
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: why it's very hard for us to eat it frequently.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: No.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I, I just, I'm curious, follow-up question At what age
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: did he realize it was not real?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I think around the time when puberty hits you, you realize, OK,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: so endearing, right? So
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: cute. You know, once I actually believed in the tooth fairy.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I did. I put the tooth under my
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: pillow.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Then there was one night I actually woke up because
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: my mom.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I saw was trying to put a coin.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: That's so cute.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I cried.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, you blocked me. I thought the tooth fairy. It's
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: just you. I was like 4 or 5. I remember
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: one coming in from Syd. Good morning. When I was
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: very little, I thought my mother was some weapons expert.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: She can pick up anything and hit me with it.

  Speaker 2: What were some things that you believed your parents could
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: do back when you were a young, impressionable kid?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Really, your mom and dad didn't say anything.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: They didn't say anything like to mislead me to think that, yeah,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I, I heard stories about,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: for example, my late grandpa and stuff, like, you know,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: my dad used to say like, he will sit on his,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: on his grandpa on his dad's lap and um he
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: will get a bit of whiskey and stuff when he
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: was like, I don't know, 2 years old but I'm like,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: how do you remember that at 2 years old?
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Did
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: you? No,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: no, no, she was like, yeah, exactly, so I didn't
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: contribute in any way.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: You know what she said? She was like, she was like, hey,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: if you ever, if you ever have a son, right,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: it might look exactly like your father.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Because I look like my dad. That's great. So yeah, maybe,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I don't
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: know descendant.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Strong enough, we'll never know. Anyway, keep your stories coming through.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: We're so entertained. What were some things you believed your
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: parents could do?
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: When you were a young, impressionable kid, let us know
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: and you could be walking away with this oneha restaurant
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: experience and this is worth almost $200. Talking about whether
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: when you were young and impressionable and growing up, did
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: you ever believe that your parents had special abilities or
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: that they're superheroes or superhuman?
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Inspired
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: by a catch-up convo that I had last night with
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: some of my friends over a birthday dinner.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: And my good friend Iggy was saying that when he
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: was in primary one, his dad used to say, Oh,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I can lift the car with one finger. I can
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: carry the buildings from point A to
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: point B and
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: shift them, right?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: And being impressionable, you go and tell your friends, see,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: my father can, your father or
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: not
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: and I suppose he said that because he's a dad now.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: He might be cooking up some random stories for his kid.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: So I jokingly said, So what do you tell his kid?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Do you tell Daddy can take 12 shots of tequila?
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Then he looks at me and goes, That's not a lie.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: That's
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: truth.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, OK, one coming in from Lim says, morning Soki.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: When I was young, I once asked my dad how
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: he met my mom. My dad told me he looked
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: at the sky and the clouds spelled out my mom's name.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: That's when he knew she was the one, and the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: young gullible me believed that. Then I too looked up
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: at the sky hoping I get to see my future,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: my future wife's name. That went for a few years
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: before I realized he was lying to me nonsense.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, how did he even come up with that?
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: That's just hilarious, dude.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: romantic.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: It's quite cute. It's quite cute.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I looked at
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the sky and the cloud spelled your mother's name. That's
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: how I
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: knew.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Oh man, I mean, if there's anything, maybe it shows
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: you whether or not she has a good temper. Maybe
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: it was raining that day or storming, you never know. Anyway,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: we've got Ray on the line right now. Ray, you
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: were just telling us that when you were a kid.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: You were being told this back in China, his, uh,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: grandparents have very great, uh, martial arts skills, very good
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: kung fu. They got this thing called a ching kong
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: or ching kong, so they can leap, you know, from
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: 3 to 3, and they can jump over the rooftop. Yeah,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: so I believe in all this while lah. So what
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: happened was that uh 10 years ago when I visited, uh, Guangzhou, China,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: my ancestral home.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I realized that oh my God, the roof was so low,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: you know, it was just at my waist level. I could,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: I could just, anyone could just pop away, just jump
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: away and that's it. So the truth was finally out.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: And I guess I can also do it.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I think for you it would be an actual roof
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: won't be impossible.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Hey, hey, give me some credit. My mobility is not
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: that bad. OK.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: How's your ankle? Actually,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: it's so much better. It's so much better. I, um,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: canceled my ortho ortho appointment.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Keep going.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: No, no, I will go to the physio, but I
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: don't think I need to see the ortho again. OK, Doctor,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: that's what, that's what they said. They said that, OK,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: you can follow in 2 weeks.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: If the swelling hasn't really gone down or it keeps
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: coming up and going back down again, but it's still there,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: that means it may be more than just a ligament injury.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: But the swelling has gone down.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Before you jump from rooftop to rooftop and paddle again,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: can you please strengthen your ankle? I am. Thank
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: you. You cannot see, but I'm rotating my ankle now.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Under the table, you can't see I can't see a
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: damn thing.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Some Bad Bunny over there right here on 987.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm in Puerto Rican party right now, Sonia,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: that we are part of his Super Bowl concert at
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: that time, you know, the backup people we're like just
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: dancing and grooving and vibing. And
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: don't
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: forget this album actually won him the Best Album for
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: this year's Grammys. Congratulations to Bad Bunny.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, back to our topic of this morning. When
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: you were growing up.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: And you were young and impressionable and you know, you
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: think your parents are superheroes, right? Did you ever believe
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: that they had certain special super abilities back then?
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: One coming in from John. Hey guys, I recall those
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: times I've heated arguments with my parents. Then they will
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: always tell me that they picked me up from the dumpster.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Hence I did so badly at school. Luckily I grew
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: up to be OK. Thank you, mom and dad for
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: picking me up from that dumpster.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad that I don't have to go to
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: a dumpster to pick up my kids.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, I think that was the one threat
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: that our parents always threw at us in the past, right?
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Like what were some things, I'm trying to think what
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: were some things that they told me like when I
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: was being really mischievous and stuff, they said they would
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: send me back to the zoo or something, you know.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Did
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: you get the guard?
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: No, actually, what was the security guard?
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: If you're naughty,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: you see the uncle down there,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: you, because you are that kind of naughty. You like
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: go and, you know, create havoc and stuff and
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Break things or play football in some place where you're
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: not supposed to play football.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Come to think about it, yes, I was a kid.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Post Malone, with a track called Morning.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Right,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: it's correct. I'm
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: sing because if you know, you know.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was looking forward to the concert, but
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: it's been canceled. Likewise. OK, we got more texts coming
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: in from the kind of interesting facts about your parents
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: or grandparents that they told you when you were a
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: lot younger and impressionable.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not just that, I feel that, you know, as we,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: when we were kids, right, we probably looked at our
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: parents thinking like they are it, you know, they are.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: They are our superheroes and in, in our minds, like
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: they're immortal, you know. Then as you grow older and
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: you mature, you realize, oh man, like you see your
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: parents aging and it kind of like gives you a
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: bit of heart pain sometimes.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I want to say good morning to Xuan. Xuan says, Hey, Sojo,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: my husband believed his mom when she said if he
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: pees in the swimming pool, the water would turn dark blue.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: And did it stop him?
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: He
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: realized this was not true 3 weeks ago at age 34,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: during a convoy with our friends and we were in disbelief.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Oh no. He
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: believed it for his entire
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: lifetime. 34 years of peeing in the pool,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: dude, that's it. No, 34 of not peeing in the
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: pool because he was, which is good. Yeah, please don't
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: do that. Please don't. Oh my God. Honestly, that's one
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: of the reasons why like whenever I see a lot
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: of kids in like at my condo pool, right, I'm
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: a bit hesitant to jump in.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I have faith that hopefully they don't do it, but
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't put it past a kid to like just
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: pee there, you know,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: just a tongue in cheek comment. I wonder how the
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: pool is doing on board the Disney adventure.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Good question. Good question.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I hope they change it every once in a while
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I think they do.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: They have to. It's a hygiene thing.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Keep the calls and texts coming in at 669-11987. Actually,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: we're we're just about out of time in a bit,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: but when we come back, one person is walking away
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: with that wonderful experience, a Mid-Autumn Festival just around the
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: corner and one Hao Chinese Restaurant. This is situated over
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: at Marriott 10 Plaza Hotel.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: This one could be yours. OK, uh, we want to
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: squeeze in a last message here before we award today's winner. Yes,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: uh, very cute one, and I think it's coming in
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: from username Joanna. Hello, Joanna. You say, hey, Sojo, it's
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: more like what my dad said. He used to say,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: eating french fries, we have to use ketchup, otherwise we'll
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: get a sore throat.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: He still says it till
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: this day.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: It's just a belief, I mean.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Or maybe the ketchup was expiring and he wanted everyone
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: to finish it. So that's probably one of the reasons, maybe. Anyway,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for all your hilarious stories coming
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: through and, and look, it is very relatable. When we're
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: growing up, we always see our parents as invincible. They
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: are our superheroes, even to this day as adults, you know.
• 35:31

• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Joe, you need to, you need to go with someone
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: who knows their wine because if not, you might get
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: knocked off for it, you know, like you don't know
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: how much you're earning.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Jeremy. Jeremy, busy lah. Don't disturb him.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Time for some food news, Italian food
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: news. 123 food news, food news. Sonia with the good
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: food news. Ben, Ben, Ben, tell us
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: more.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: So we had Nancy Silverton in the studio not too
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: long ago. I think it was a few months back, right?
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: So she was back then, she was speaking about um
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: her other her other restaurant Osteria Mozza and talking about
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: what to expect and I think she spoke about this
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: um buffet that they were having at the time over
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: the weekend.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: If I'm not wrong, if I remember correctly.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: But when it comes to Italian food, I'm there.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Pasta and
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: pizza. Oh
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: yeah, you can live by that. I'm sure
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: some nice wine.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: But what I also love is, you know, the seafood
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: that they do over Italian restaurants, so fresh, so good,
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: even their desserts, their coffee, everything, right? Um, they're opening
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: another concept and she's helming it once again.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: The first outpost of her Los Angeles grill restaurant called Chiespaca.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: So it's spelled C H I and then next word
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: S P A C C A. Um I did a
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: quick search on how to pronounce it. Apparently, it is
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: pronounced cheesepaca. I hope I'm saying it right. But in Italian,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: it translates to who splits. So I think maybe sharing,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: like a sharing sort of thing. Like it could be
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: that that's why they called it cheesepaca. Yeah.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Like you know, OK, please don't try.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: And uh yeah, and uh she explained that in a
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: more colloquial way, it also means the person who uses
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: the cleaver to split and butcher the protein. So, yeah,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: so in short, you split. Um, it would be quite
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: cute because it's a wood-fire focused establishment that takes over
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: the space formerly occupied by Motza at Hilton Singapore Orchard. OK.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: So then what happens is that um it'll be a
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: 105-seater restaurant.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: They have wood-fired Jasper ovens, a new grill is incoming
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: as well, and their favorites are the Bstecca Fiorentina steak,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: I believe so.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Um, and the menu is not expected to stray too
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: far from the one in Los Angeles, so you're gonna
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: expect a lot of hot favorites from there, and they're
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: famous for cashier, which will come here as well. It's
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: a brand new place for date night. I know, and
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: she's not giving you just one but two places for
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: date night because Motza reopens in Iron Orchard, by the way,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: on the 7th of September. So I don't know how
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: she's doing it, but
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming that she's going to stay in Singapore for
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: quite some time, setting up both restaurants.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Fantastic location and finally something to kind of give Ion
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Orchard a bit of a face lift in the
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: F&B world.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: No, uh, if you notice and if you've been to
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Ion recently, they've been doing a lot of revamps, like
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: moving the shops around, which I think they do every
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: few years and introducing new cafes, new restaurants and all that,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: which is not a bad idea. We're very excited.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Sparker opens 4th quarter of this year at Hilton Singapore Orchard.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: The date is not set just yet, but the Stereo
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Monzo reopens 7th of September on the 3rd floor of
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Ion Orchard. I mean,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: if Nancy Silverton is still in Singapore, we should catch
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: up with her live on air or we go down
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: to
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: a
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: restaurant
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: with her over a meal. Yeah, there we go, why not?
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Just want to give my friends over at the BYD
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Singapore International Marathon presented by Adidas a huge shout out.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to them. We are almost what, 3 months away
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: to race weekend, but local entries for the full marathon
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: sold out. Nice. And when I say local entries, I
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: mean 9000 Singapore-based runners. The slot.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: were taken. Congratulations.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: I believe there are a lot of first-timers making their presence. Yes,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: and making the effort this time around too, so that's
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: quite
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: cool.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: So Sonia,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: not a full marathon, not a half marathon. I'm still
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: trying to entice you to sign up for either a
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: 5 or a 10.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Come on, 5,
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: is it with the children or what?
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: The 5 km one is not with the kids,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: is it? I'm very sure the 5 and 10 km routes, right,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: you might see secondary school or primary school kids trying
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: it as well. But for you, come on, try one. Again,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: I give you my word, whichever you sign up for
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: 5 or 10, I'll do it with you as my
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: warm-up to full marathon on Sunday.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: I promise you it's 4th, 5th, and 6th. So if
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: you're doing the 5 km, it's on the 4th night
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: of 5 and 10. This
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: is December, right? Yes, December. But there's Tomorrowland Thailand.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: The following weekend I must prepare my body for that. OK,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: you go and decide, but to people doing the half
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: marathon and full marathon, again, I say this, Shear's bridge
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: is back, and especially for the full marathon we are
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: going up there maybe say at the 37, 36 km mark,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: and especially for the full marathon after you conquer Shear's bridge,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: that's not the end. The little brother of it, Merdeka Bridge.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: It looks like a straight, but it's a gradient up
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: as well, and stadium is there. It's gonna be mentally draining.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Make sure you train your game, and that's why every
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: run now I'm doing in town, I make sure I
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: go up Shears
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Bridge. I mean, I also trained at the bridge, the
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: one at Clark Quy. I'm sure,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: yes, the
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Jim Bridge, is
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: it? No, the Clark,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: to cross over to the next bar opposite.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: And just a few moments ago, Joki reminded me that
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: this coming Friday is Teachers' Day.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is. What?
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: I
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: didn't realize that. So to Sonia, to that, was it
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: 20 year old self or nineteen-year-old self? Yeah,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: happy belated Te's Day to you. Look, I didn't, obviously
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't end up pursuing that as a career, but
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: it was a very good experience, I will say.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Um, relief teaching at not just Saint Anthony's and Cambridge sec,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: which we mentioned we're heading to down later on this afternoon. Um,
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: it was very eye-opening for me because, firstly, I never
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: realized how unsure I was when, you know, you, you
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: feel like you know, you're supposed to know everything as
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: the person that is the teacher or the person that's
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: filling in.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I found myself second guessing myself. I don't know
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: whether it was like a bit of imposter syndrome or something,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: but I, I found myself questioning in my head a
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: lot.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I say this respectfully, I think if you were in
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: a girls' school, you would have thrived as a teacher.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe I I SCGS, Nanyang, you know, girls' school, I
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: think they will love you. They will look up to
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: you like, Wow, Miss Chuo is the woman I want
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: to be when I grow up. It was cute.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: It was cute.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Put you in boys' school,
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: GG. I mean, I was in Cambridge is a mixed school.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: I was there for a while actually
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: whether mix
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: of boys' schools and given how you look, right, if
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I was your student, what
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I mean,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: no, it did happen and the PE teacher had to
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: help me sort it out, by the way.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: I know
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: it's frowned upon, yes, but it has happened. I'm not
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: proud of it, but knowing myself at 14
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: to 16, you want to be
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: cool with your friends, you know, you want to be
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: cheeky and all that.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: There was a, there was one, like, I think it
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: was a sec 3 or 4 class that I covered.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: And um he was dared by his friends to walk
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: up to me like before class started to ask me
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: to go for dinner, and he did.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: He did. He, and he combed his hair. Oh, he
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: woke up, but unfortunately for him, the PE teacher happened
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: to be walking past the, the classroom, and he saw that.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: I think he knows what's going on. He confirmed knows.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: He saw the whole thing. He immediately asked him to
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: come out. He immediately went like, you come out, then everyone, oh.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: You know what, that could have been me. Probably
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: it was you back then when you were in school.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: On that note, so we're gonna get out of here
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: right now. Uh, Cambridge, we mentioned earlier on, we'll see
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: you later at about 1 p.m. or 1:30 thereabouts, and
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: we'll catch you again tomorrow at 6:00
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: a.m. Looking forward to one heck of an assembly with
• 47:36

  Speaker 2: excited. Yeah, I hope so.
