  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: next to you.
• 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. Good morning. It's still me, Solo,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: while Joakim recovers. Hopefully he's back very soon, but today's
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: very exciting. I'm gonna meet a bunch of girls from
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Saint Anthony's Kenojon Secondary School. If you're tuning in now,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: you're getting ready to meet me. I'm so excited. That's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: happening this morning. Stay tuned. Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Um, I know that for those of you who are
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: following the World Cup, this is probably a very big
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: week for you. And, uh, Joakim, obviously, even though he's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: recovering from a flu, at least he can be watching
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: it at home and not have to watch it in
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the studio or rush down to the studio. So maybe
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that could be an upside for him.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: But plenty happening this week, including your chance to walk
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: away with tickets to catch Legally Blonde, the, the musical
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore. We're so excited. Nathaniel Ong leads the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: cast as Elle Woods. I mean, you know her, she
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: was in our studio for Les Miserables and Hamilton, of course,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: when she came back to Singapore, she's been
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Very busy, I think nonstop with interviews, with um features,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you know, and everything, filming, shooting, so many things. But
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of course, an all-star cast awaits you, Nathan Hartono and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: also Sandra Riley Tang, you would recognize her too. It's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: going to be the ultimate feel-good musical event of the year.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We're so excited for you to catch it.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Um, if you want to know more, SRT.com.sg, but we
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: will have the cast of, uh, Legally Blonde coming to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: our studio very soon. More details then. Thank you for
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: joining me here this morning. Yesterday, I actually stumbled upon
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: this gem of a place, OK, and I've never been
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: there before, but because of work, it brought me there
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to the CBD area and I realized that they were
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: actually having a collaboration with a super viral Thai restaurant,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: like straight from Thailand, OK?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: So if you are a foodie, you might know Emily's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: official in Bangkok, Emily's, I don't know if you've heard it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: They're super famous for their mee kai cheek. I'm, I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: hope I'm saying that right. It's like a chicken noodle,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: so it's a very thin, like biehoon sort of situation,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: but like way thinner than the biehoon that you're usually
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: eating here in Singapore with chicken on top. They've got
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: like a spicy shallot dressing.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And lettuce. That's it. It looks, it doesn't look like much.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: It looks like a very simple dish, but when I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: bit into it, I was like, whoa, it's super, super tasty. So,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I really want to give a shout out to For Gather.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: This is over at Far East Square. So straight in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the CBD area, there were like tons of people after
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: work coming in to check it out. And uh, their
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: own menu is very good at For Gather, but Emily's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: is a pop-up over at Four Gather. So, check it
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: out because they just launched yesterday.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And I know I wanted to save this for food
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: news later on after 9, right? But I mean, look, I,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I think you're up early as well. If you really
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: want to make plans on where to go and how
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to check it out, I'm letting you know right now.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Um, it's only here for one month only, so please
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: pull up. I think they're gonna release more favorites from Emily's. So,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I went to check out Emily's official as well, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: they've got so many delicious things. I don't know how
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: many they're going to be launching, but their chicken noodle
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is definitely the, the hot favorites, and they've done pop-ups
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: in Seoul, they've done pop-ups in other countries, and now
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: they're here. So, very excited. Uh, definitely check it out.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It is happening for a month right now over at Foreather.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: This is at Far East Square. Please, please satisfy your
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Bangkok cravings. It was so legit. I was very happy
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to have it. In fact, my stomach just growled thinking
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: about it again.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: We're just about to head to the phone lines now
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: every day before it hits 7. I want to try
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: my best to squeeze in your dedication, your shoutouts on
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: air live before you get to school so that, hey,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you know what, maybe you start your day the right way, right?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And you, and you're energized with the song of your choice.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna head to the phone lines now. Hello. Hi.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Morning. Ernest. Good morning. This is Ernest, Ethan and Elaine.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: All right. Hello. Everyone's name starts with E.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: That's intentionally. Of course, I figured. And which school do
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: they go to? Is it the same school? I go
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to Cat High Primary and Toa Payoh, hoping that Joakim
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and I can stop by. Joakim was from Catholic High
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Primary actually. Ethan. Exactly, you should go back. Do Ethan
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and Elaine have a shout out for anyone and a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: song request? I want to shout out to my friend
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: who has been my friend for the first half of
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Uh, Alex.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: OK, shout out to Alex. Any song request? Can I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: have Basket Keys by Green Day? Ah, I'm not sure
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: if we have that. Well, great, great choice of song,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: but we only have, um, we only have Boulevard of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Broken Dreams and Wake Me Up When September ends. Uh, OK,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I have the Wake Me Up When September ends. OK.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: How did you, how did you discover that song?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Um, my mom told me about it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Nice. OK. You're, you're gonna get that song in just
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a few minutes. Is your sister OK with this song also?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, OK, great. Well, that's going out to you and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I hope you guys get to have a fantastic day
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: in school, OK?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Um, role model's actual name is Tucker. In
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: case you're wondering, apparently he chose the name purely as
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: an ironic joke because it was just like something he
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: threw out during an interview and he thought it'd be funny,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: but he didn't realize he'd be stuck with it for
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: his entire professional music career. But it was, it's quite cute.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of those names that you remember,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: but at the same time, you wonder what's the artist's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: actual name. Um, but yeah, go, go check it out.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I think pretty cool music actually.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Um, that has a bit of a country vibes. OK, anyway,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: like I mentioned earlier, this one usually is covered by Joakim.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Every single time there is anything related to one of
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: our national pastimes, which is either 4D or Toto. Once again,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: we don't encourage gambling. It's just that when the pot
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: gets so big, right, everyone becomes super invested.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And we were just talking about this on Friday, if
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not wrong. Joe was saying, um, oh, if I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: don't turn up to work on, uh, on Monday and Tuesday, you,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you know what happened lah, that means I struck toto.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, hey, I should text him right now.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, is, are you one of two people that
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: won the $12.8 million dollar total prize? That's just sick.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. One of the winning tickets, by the way,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: was sold pretty near my area.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not exactly nearby, but in the vicinity, Bedok Reservoir.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm, I'm an East Coast person, right? So Bedok
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Reservoir not too far away. Um, yeah, one of the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: winning tickets sold at Bedok Reservoir's betting outlet. I'm like, oh, wow.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I don't, I, I don't usually take note of it
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: unless it's like near where I live, right, because usually
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: it's kind of far out. I noticed quite a lot
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that happened, if I'm not wrong, please correct me if
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong, like in the west side or even like
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: near Yishun, I think I've seen one winning ticket from
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: there before.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But yeah, one was a quick pick system entry over
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: at Bedok Reservoir, and the other one was a bet
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that was placed online. So yeah, um, to the people
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that always say, yeah, online, sure, you won't win one,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you won't win. I mean, some people say that there's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a lower chance, but recently I've been seeing quite a
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: lot of people winning online though, so.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that stands at all, but there
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: were many group seven prizes which, uh, to which you
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: win $10. I've never even won $10 OK, from like
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: $40 or total, never. In fact, the rare occasion that
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I go would usually be like during Chinese New Year,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I'll go with my, my mom, right? We'll just go
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and buy and we are so clueless about it. When
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I went there, the auntie looked at me and she
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: was like, first timer.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: And to my horror, another guy in the line actually
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: um recognized me, right? And he goes like, hey, Sonia,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you buy 40. I'm like, OK, maybe let's not just
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: say that too loudly, it's just once a year.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just um like a CNY pastime thing that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: you just got to do at least once a year, right?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So, uh, if you're tuning in and you are one
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of two people that, you know, won the $12.8 million
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: dollar total prize that you've split, I mean, I'm happy
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: for you, but at the same time, the rest of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: us just got to keep grinding. So we got a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: bonus prize and a treat for you this week. Tickets
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to catch Legally Blonde, the musical on 4th of August.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: This is worth $248. I want you to have it. Um,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: this is an iconic 2001.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: cult favorite film. It defined an entire generation, I have
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to say it right, and it went on to become
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: like a smash hit musical on both Broadway and the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: West End. And now, Nathaniel Ong, as you know, she's
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a West End star and a Singaporean. She's leading the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: cast as Elle Woods. So she's already done Les Miserables,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: she's done Hamilton.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: And I would love to give a big shout out
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to an all-star cast, Nathan Hartono, Sandra Riley Tang, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: many more. I, I saw many other big names there
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: as well. So this is going to be the ultimate
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: feel-good musical. I want you there. Tickets and more info
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: on SRT.com.sg, but here on
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: 87, The Shock circuit specifically. I've got a pair of
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: tickets for you to catch Legally Blonde, the musical. It
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: is worth almost $250. Your chance coming up. Well, onto
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: something really exciting. Every day this week, I've got a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: pair of tickets for you to catch Legally Blonde, the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Musical right here in Singapore, and these tickets are worth
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: almost $250. I want you to have a fantastic night
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and you may or may not know the plot point
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of Legally Blonde, the movie. I mean, it's, it's kind
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of based on that, right?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: It was released in 2001, so yeah, it's quite vintage already. Um,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: an American comedy film that was all about blondes at
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that point in time. So here's a quick one, OK. Um,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Reese Witherspoon was actually Elle Woods. She acted as a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: sorority girl who attempted to win back her ex-boyfriend by
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: getting a degree at Harvard Law School. In the process,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: she starts to overcome stereotypes against blondes and triumphs as
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a successful lawyer.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: It's a very cute story and um I think it's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a classic till this day. As you know, um people
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: always use the term blonde as a stereotype, right? Like, oh,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: they've got already these preconceived notions as to how you
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: might be just because you're blonde or, yeah, I mean,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: stereotypes exist in every industry and, and every phase of life,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I feel in a way.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: So anyway, based off this, this uh storyline, I want
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to open up the phone lines right now. 669-11987, loosely
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: based off this, if you were to do a quick
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: career switch right now, just like how the main character
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: um in Legally Blonde did, trying to be a lawyer
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: If you could do a mid-career, a mid-life career switch
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: right now, what would you do and why? Let me know.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Give me a call 669-11987. Get creative with it and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you could be the one walking away with a pair
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of tickets to catch Legally Blonde, the Musical. Hello, good morning. Morning.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: What's your name? Yes, morning. Clement here. Hi, Sonia. Hi, Clement.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Where are you off to and who are you with?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: To send my wife to work after dropping my, my
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: precious daughter. Yeah, yeah, I go to work. So this
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: is for my daughter. Oh, nice. OK, yes, I hope
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that you can maybe go watch it with her as well.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So here's the question. If you could do a midlife
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: career switch right now, just based off the storyline of
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Legally Blonde, the movie previously that the musical is based on.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: What would you do? Uh, I would try to venture
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: into hospitality line, uh, maybe the hotel industry, because I'm
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: being in, in another industry serving customers as well, but, uh, I,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I feel that my expertise should be better put in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: place towards more service side. Oh, like customer service, interacting
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: with people.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: OK, so may, may I ask then, what do you
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: do now that is so different, because now I mainly
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: automobile clients, so it's a different type of, yeah, correct. Yeah, OK,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: so if you could pick like a hotel to work,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: what would you pick? I think Ritz-Carlton. Wow, I love that.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: One of the top ones here in Singapore.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: OK. Hey man, thank you so much for your answer
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and for chatting this morning and just for being a
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: sweet person all around, sending your whole family to to
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: school and work. Congratulations.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Tonia. You're most welcome. Yeah, the Legally Blonde
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: tickets are officially yours. Once again, this is gonna be
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the ultimate feel-good musical of the year, happening 29th of
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: July to 16th of August at the Esplanade Theater. Hope
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you enjoy yourself. So yesterday, uh, I found myself in
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a really stupid situation, um, and, and I might just
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: want to open up the phone lines for this later on,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: but we'll see, we'll see. I'll just share it with
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you first.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: So I know tons of you watched my story yesterday
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: where I said I fell and I almost face planted
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: on the road, OK. I want to find the two
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: girls that helped me yesterday. Approximately, I think it was,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: let me think, 1112, about 12 p.m. thereabouts, 12 p.m.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I came up from my Pilates class. I usually try
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and do a quick one like during a lunch slot, right?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: So I came out and uh I was rushing to
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: my car.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: When, you know those shophouse areas, right? There are those
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: steps on the side that lead you down to the road,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: but the steps are, um, I mean, it's just kind
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of there and on the side of those steps, sometimes
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it's just like nothing. There's no railing, nothing, right? So,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I missed the step and I fell and almost face
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: planted on the road. My, um, my, the stuff from
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: my bag just like flew out and I think I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: heard an audible gasp from a girl that was standing
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: near me at that, at that time.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: And uh I took a moment to like push myself
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: out from the ground. Actually, it was, yeah, and she helped,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: she was, oh my God, are you OK? This other
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: lady like, you know, helped me pick up my cap
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and like some, some stuff that flew out from my bag.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: She's like, are you, are you OK? I'm like, yeah,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I'm fine. I'm fine. Thank you so much for helping me,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you know, and I limped away, uh, mostly from embarrassment,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I think the entire CBD crowd saw me
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: faceplant yesterday. Thankfully, I didn't actually smash my face to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the ground. That would have been bad because, you know,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the gravel and stuff, but
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I only have a minor sprain. Actually, I think it
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: was in that moment, you know, you're a little bit
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: shocked and you don't feel much at the time. Then
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: when you start walking, you're like, oh man, my ankle
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: is kind of sore, my knee is definitely scraped, but
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: thankfully I was wearing exercise pants, so when I got
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: back to the car, I went to inspect the injury
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and it was not so bad. I just have like
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: a singular plaster over it, which is fine.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: My ankle, unfortunately, was the ankle that I rolled previously
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: when I was playing paddle, I think, I can't remember
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: if it was my left, left or right. So it's
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: just a little bit swollen right now, but I think
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: it's manageable. I can still kind of walk and put
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: pressure on it. It's not so bad as the previous
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: injury that I got. This one, I think it should
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: subside in like a couple of days, hopefully, I mean,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Life has to go on. I, I still went off
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: for my shoot. I still wore a little bit of heels, so, yeah,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: just got a bit of a guard on right now.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And yeah, that, that's me. It seems like 2026 has
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: been a year of um sprained ankles and falling for
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: some reason. Some are self-inflicted, obviously, you know, nobody asked
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: me to play paddle and sprain my ankle, but I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: did that. And for this one, please, just a gentle reminder,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: look where you're going today. I mean, some of these
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: steps are really tricky and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: You know, we know some unfortunate incidents of people actually
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: really getting very badly injured when it comes to these things.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: So be careful to this number one hit music station.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Sonia was here this morning. Thanks for joining me. So
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: this is something that I, I definitely would not wish
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: upon anyone, especially when you're traveling, when you're looking forward
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to a trip and everything, you've got everything planned already, right?
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: There's a traveler that claimed two surfboards worth about $3600
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: in Singapore dollars.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: were broken in half on a flight, and they said
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: there was violent baggage handling, um, you know, the surfboards
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: broke and it's apparently a normal travel risk, yes, but
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: it's still quite sad lah, right, you know, um, apparently
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: there's a bit of a conversation happening with the airline
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: right now. I don't know what about the compensation, what,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: what the compensation situation.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: is going to be like, um, and this traveler also
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: claimed that the surfboards were fully protected in a padded bag,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: like a thick padded professional surfing travel bag designed to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: be on a plane and everything, and she even wrapped
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: it with extra foam padding, especially the nose and the tail. However,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: after collecting her oversized baggage at Phuket International Airport, she
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: discovered that both surfboards have been cleanly snapped into two
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: separate halves, completely destroyed beyond repair.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And allegedly the airline has um declined to provide compensation.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: We don't know just yet. We're still waiting for some clarification,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: but we'll see what happens next. I'm sure they'll come
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: back with some, some sort of a statement soon, but
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: this experience, of course, left the traveler quite
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Quite helpless and angry, lah, right? I mean, understandably so. Um,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: these damaged surfboards would have completely disrupted her travel plans
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: in Phuket. I'm assuming she wanted to go there to surf, right?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: So it would be, it would be quite bad. You
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: have to replace it. I mean, you might have to
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: rent a board and you may not even be comfortable
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: with that board and you travel all this way just
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: for this, you know, so I can understand the frustration.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Um, this has happened to me before actually, damaged luggage, um,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: damaged items in my luggage as well. Uh, I'll tell
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you about it later on, but you tell me your
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: stories 1st. 669-11987 or drop me a message, 90,050.

• 18:07

• 18:10
  Speaker 1: has happened to me before.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Uh, let me know, 669-11987. I would love to give
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: you a $100 dining experience to Gypsy One Fullerton. Beautiful spot.

  Speaker 1: they exploded or broke during a flight before. We've got
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: some stellar lefty first. So this is something that I,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I definitely would not wish upon anyone, especially when you're traveling,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: when you're looking forward to a trip and everything, you've

• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Have any of your belongings gotten damaged or destroyed or
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: they exploded or broke during a flight before? So excited. um,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Formula One coming by to Singapore again very soon. So,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: before you know it, you blink and it's here, you know.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: So yeah, make sure you get your tickets. We'll be
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: releasing more information when we can.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: But meantime, back to the topic here, inspired by how
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: this lady, this traveler actually got her surfboards cracked in half.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: She was horrified and she was actually traveling around Southeast
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Asia and she was going to Phuket for surfing and everything.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine how troublesome that must have been
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: because you bring your own boards, you lug it halfway
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: across the world, only to realize it broke and then
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: now you have to rent something and spend more money, right,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: at the, at the surf place.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to ask you, have you ever experienced
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a situation where your luggage or your items got damaged
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: or broken? I've shared my stories already. Amran's on the line.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: What happened, man? Yeah, so I was in Tokyo and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: then my wife wanted a specific soya sauce and I
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: have a son as well, so I decided to wrap
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the glass bottle of soya sauce in the Pampers. So
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, OK, I'm gonna wrap the glass bottle
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: of soya sauce in the Pampers.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: So that it, you know, it would, it would give
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: it more cushion, I guess. And then I came home
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and I opened it and I was like, something smells
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: weird about my bag, you know. And then I opened
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: it and I lost all the Pampers and the soy sauce.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: And now I have a suitcase that smells like I
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: cooked too much.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know what, I, I was just saying that
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: because for me, this happened to my skincare, like it
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: basically exploded for some reason. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I just wonder whether it's an air pressure situation on
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: some of the bottles that just can't take it. Perhaps
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it loosens the cap or something
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: it wasn't broken, I'm guessing that you're never gonna bring
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: sauce back ever again not buying anything.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your call, Amra. We're talking
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: about um damaged baggage, luggage or items when you travel,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: all inspired by this story that I just told you
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: about earlier. Um, this poor lady, she brought her surfboards
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: and she wanted to go, I'm assuming for a beach holiday, right?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: But both surfboards got snapped and it's worth almost $4000
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Singapore dollars. She's really mad right now trying to seek
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: some compensation, but
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: This, this happens sometimes. It's beyond our control quite a lot, right?
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Which can be very frustrating. Um, we're heading to WhatsApp
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: first to just check out what you're saying over there.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Saying hi over here to Jess. Morning, Sonia. So far,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: No issues with my baggage beyond the usual scratches on
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the surface, but once I had to check in my
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: umbrella without protection, and it also made it without issues.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I make sure my luggage is quite full. I think
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: this actually helps with cushioning the impact when they throw
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: my luggage around. All my glassware came back intact.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I think the destination also matters. Japanese airports are generally
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: very gentle with your luggages. On social media, you might
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: see a lot of cases of luggage being thrown on
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the floor. So please don't use expensive luggage, luggages for
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: those destinations. You have a very good point, to be honest. Um,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I think it comes down also to the culture and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: maybe even um the airline services, you know, on ground.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Sometimes the on-ground services for your particular airline you're flying, right?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: May not be reflective of the airline, you know what
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I mean? It's like the ground stuff, you know.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: So, uh, it, it, it does happen. Uh, Nadia, what
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: about you? What's your story? So I'm always traveling a lot.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Traveling to America last year, and when I came back
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: to Singapore, my baggage, um, the zipper got split into half. And,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and the first time I, the first issue that wasn't it.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I couldn't find my baggage and I thought it was
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: an oversized. So I asked them like, where's my bag?
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: And when I got it, I was like, dude.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: It's open in half. How do I, some of the
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: stuff went there. So I went to like baggage claim
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: to ask about it and they just like denied it.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: And like, eventually they gave me like some sort of
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: voucher for that compensation. It was really frustrating. And I'm sorry,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: how much was that voucher? I can't remember, probably like
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a few hundreds, I think. Yeah, I know it's, it's,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and it's so frustrating, right, because there's almost nothing you
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: can do like it's.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: your control at that point. Yeah, the worst thing is
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that if anything were to be like dropped off in
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the baggage carriage in the plane, I'm like, what even know. Yeah,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. Exactly. Oh man, OK, well, I guess
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: you must have invested in a different kind of luggage
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: now then. Yes, I'm, I'm like so cautious after that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: And so far my recent trip that none of that
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: happened again. Great, great. Let's keep it that way. Thank
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: you so much, Nadia.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Jason Derulo right here on 987, gonna be here in
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Singapore very soon for GLOW Festival. Can't wait to see him.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: It's not his first time in Singapore in the past
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: couple of years actually. He, he dropped by the 987
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: studio like sometime last year, I feel, or was it
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: two years ago, if my memory doesn't fail me.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Anyway, um, time for some last few messages and calls here.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: We're talking about whether or not your luggage or your
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: belongings have been damaged before when it comes to traveling,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: all inspired by a very unfortunate case of this lady
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: who brought her surfboards to Thailand and it got snapped
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: in half. It was very, very unfortunate.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Um, saying hi over here to a couple of people
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: who have sent me some pictures even of their damaged luggage. Uh,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I believe this is Sue's. You said 2025, December, Singapore
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: to Vancouver. I brought three pieces of new luggages. On
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the way back, two out of three were very badly damaged,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and you even sent me some photos of that as well. Um,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: someone here with, uh, coming through with a reminder, Shing,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: always buy travel insurance, guys.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Cheryl's on the line. It's time for one more story here.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: What happens? OK, so I was actually coming back home
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: from Phuket, and then you know, the one where you
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: have to actually get, take a bus to the aircraft
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: and then you have to board from the staircase and stuff.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: So at the corner, I saw this, um,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Trash bag, so I was wondering, eh, what is this
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: trash bag doing here? Then I heard them calling for
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: my name, they said, no, uh, Miss Cheryl, are you there?
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: So I said, oh, I'm here actually. And then they,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: they say, oh, you know, your, your luggage has actually
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: fallen apart, so everything is here. In the trash bag? Yeah,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: in the trash bag.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: All your items were in there. Were they, was there
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: anything missing? Uh, no, but the whole luggage really came
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: apart and then I asked them, so what's next? They said, oh,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: it's because your luggage quality is bad, so it broke.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Oh my God.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: How did you find that? How did you argue with that? Um,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: all they did was to say, oh, you know, you
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: can go back to Singapore and then lodge, uh, lodge
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: a claim from the company, the, the airline company. Yeah, yeah,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: so when I went back to Singapore and then I
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: tried to do a claim and then the airline actually said, oh, no,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: your quality is bad, so that's why your, your luggage
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: give away, there's nothing you can do about it.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Any compensation? No, I did not. After a while, I
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: was thinking it's a short trip, so it was OK. Girl, you,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: you walked home with a trash bag. Very, very busy morning.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: We've got like, I think about almost 10 to 15
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: students waiting for me outside to let them into the studio. Um,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: you'll hear from them in just a bit. But for now,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: one person is walking away with that beautiful dining experience
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to Gypsy over at one Fullerton.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: And I'm so happy to say it goes to Cheryl. Congrats, Cheryl,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: for sharing that story here with me on air. I
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: had a good laugh about it. I mean, your pain
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: is your gain as well, right, today. So you win
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: a $100 dining experience to enjoy Japanese contemporary food over

  Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard the crazy news about
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: people picking up trash outside of Taylor Swift's wedding to
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: sell it online, and they're selling it for like actual money,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: by the way, people are buying it. So things like,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like the invitations or the ring pops
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: that were from her wedding.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And just trash in general. They actually, it actually fetches
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: some money. I'm, I'm mind blown, but it is Taylor Swift,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and they both simply had, I think, one of the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: biggest weddings ever. Still don't have much information and pictures
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: from inside, but I think she wants to keep it
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: that way. So, to each its own, and we all
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: respect that and just very happy that it has happened.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: It's really wedding season for people like Dua Lipa, for
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. I think Lady Gaga as well this year.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: She did announce that she might be doing her wedding
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: That'll be interesting. That was Gracie Abrahams on 987, Singapore's
• 29:50

• 30:24
  Speaker 1: to be here so we can have a feel of
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: what it's like to be a DJ at 987. There's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: so many cool things to discover and I think Sonia's

• 30:34
  Speaker 1: But for now, let's head back to the music on 987,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Singapore's number one hit music station. It's 987 Singapore's number
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: one hit music station. My name is Desiree and I'm Tanya. Honestly,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: it's still not hitting me that we're actually on air
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: because usually every morning I would be the one tuning
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: in on 987 on the way to school.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: And now I'm the one speaking, so I'm very grateful
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: for this opportunity to be in the studio with our
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: favorite alumni. OK, now onto Desiree. Thank you, Tanya. I'm
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: so excited to be here, but I did wish I
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: was here before my oral exams for some extra practice.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I'm so grateful to have this opportunity because it's not
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: every day that someone gets to be here along with
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the one and only Sonia Chew. But anyways, let's get
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: back to the music on 987. How were the girls
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: from St. Anthony's? Did you girls do a good job
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: just now covering?
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Yes. Are you sure? Yes. So do you think 987
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: should hire you? Yes. OK, I trust them. I trust them.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what happened in the studio
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: for the past 15 minutes. I was taking a nap outside,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: so I hope you're in good hands. I will catch
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. I'm gonna leave you with
• 31:43
