- 0:21Speaker 1: But also we've got loads of updates coming your way,
- 0:24Speaker 1: locally and internationally, details in a while. Singapore's number one
- 0:28Speaker 1: hit music station.
- 0:31Speaker 1: How's your Tuesday morning so far? Hopefully, you're having an
- 0:34Speaker 1: OK start to your day. A bit of a tough
- 0:37Speaker 1: one to wake up to, and for today, I feel
- 0:41Speaker 1: as if all the updates I have about Singapore, it
- 0:44Speaker 1: could be slightly triggering, but in the world of sport,
- 0:48Speaker 1: we have plenty of reason to celebrate. So, strap yourselves in.
- 0:52Speaker 1: You're in for one heck of a show, and what
- 0:55Speaker 1: we have today in terms of prizes, not one.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Not 2, but 3 in total. Firstly, if you're a
- 1:03Speaker 1: big Alex Warren fan, we have tickets to his concert
- 1:06Speaker 1: coming your way. We also have National Day Parade actual
- 1:10Speaker 1: day tickets, and from 8 to 9 a.m. if you're
- 1:13Speaker 1: to call in during our call-in topic, you get a
- 1:16Speaker 1: very nice dining experience for two. But of course, if
- 1:18Speaker 1: you enjoy gaming, you would know on last Wednesday, at
- 1:23Speaker 1: least on my 38th birthday, one
- 1:25Speaker 1: a big thank you to our friends over at Ubisoft Singapore.
- 1:28Speaker 1: And if you remember, we brought in Ubisoft's Paul and Justin,
- 1:33Speaker 1: who had a very big hand on resinking Assassin's Creed
- 1:38Speaker 1: black flag. It was done here in Singapore, a Singapore studio.
- 1:42Speaker 1: It's a very proud moment for us, and I've been
- 1:44Speaker 1: enjoying the game. It's almost like 2013 all over again,
- 1:48Speaker 1: and we do have an a collector's edition box set
- 1:51Speaker 1: for you.
- 1:52Speaker 1: And all you have to do is go to 987's Instagram,
- 1:55Speaker 1: leave a comment on when was the last time you
- 1:58Speaker 1: took a leap of faith. It could be about anything.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Do it because you get your final entries in by today.
- 2:06Speaker 1: We close it by 2359 and we'll do our best
- 2:09Speaker 1: to select one deserving winner of the Assassin's Creed, uh,
- 2:13Speaker 1: Black Flag resync, uh, Black Flag.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Black Flag resynced Collector's Edition. There we go. Oi, it's
- 2:21Speaker 1: a Tuesday morning and my tongue is still very tight
- 2:24Speaker 1: from whatever I did last night or all I did
- 2:27Speaker 1: last night was just running actually. I kept up with
- 2:30Speaker 1: Hollywood gossip a little bit more because
- 2:32Speaker 1: Because for such a beautiful song they have together, in
- 2:35Speaker 1: the rumor mill, it feels as if that these two
- 2:38Speaker 1: are fighting and shading each other in song. So Gracie
- 2:42Speaker 1: Abraham has a song called Death Wish, if I'm not wrong,
- 2:45Speaker 1: and people are speculating that, hey, is she talking about
- 2:49Speaker 1: Taylor Swift? I've read the lyrics.
- 2:52Speaker 1: And to be honest, I feel it's still up in
- 2:54Speaker 1: the air. We, we need confirmation from sources close to
- 2:58Speaker 1: Gracie Abrahams. We'll see what happens and maybe with Taylor respond?
- 3:02Speaker 1: I wonder. When we come back though, we're gonna open
- 3:05Speaker 1: the phone lines over at 669-119-87 for you to call
- 3:09Speaker 1: in and give your school a shout out and if
- 3:12Speaker 1: you're an Alex Warren fan,
- 3:15Speaker 1: Aside from doing that and requesting for your favorite song
- 3:18Speaker 1: to play, how about giving you a pair of tickets
- 3:20Speaker 1: to Alex Warren's concert in Singapore?
- 3:26Speaker 1: Yep.
- 3:28Speaker 1: His concert happening 18th of August, just 9 days after
- 3:32Speaker 1: National Day over at the Star Theater. You can get
- 3:34Speaker 1: your tickets over at Ticketmaster.sg or we just give you
- 3:39Speaker 1: a pair here. 987, hello, what's your name? Chase. Hello, Chase.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Good morning. Firstly, can I say congratulations because you've just
- 3:47Speaker 1: won yourself a pair of tickets to go catch Alex
- 3:49Speaker 1: Warren in Singapore. Fantastic stuff.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Very happy for you, 18th of August, go with mom
- 3:55Speaker 1: or dad, but Chase, what school are you headed to today?
- 3:59Speaker 1: ACSG ACS Junior. So what level are you in this year?
- 4:05Speaker 1: P3 P3. OK. What's exciting about primary 3 so far? Recess.
- 4:12Speaker 1: And what is your favorite thing to have over at
- 4:14Speaker 1: ACS Junior? Uh, French. You said French? Yeah, French. As
- 4:19Speaker 1: in French lessons or French food? No, French. Oh, friends.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Here I was thinking you said French. OK, but if
- 4:27Speaker 1: I were to go down to your school canteen one day,
- 4:29Speaker 1: what's the best thing to have?
- 4:31Speaker 2: Mm.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Uh,
- 4:33Speaker 2: ramen.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Ramen. Alright, I think you're the 2nd person telling me
- 4:38Speaker 1: about the ramen over at Anglo-Chinese Junior. So all the
- 4:41Speaker 1: best to you. Can I get you your favorite song then, Chase?
- 4:45Speaker 2: Uh, ordinary by Alex
- 4:48Speaker 2: Warren.
- 4:48Speaker 1: If you were there yesterday at the Jalan Besar Stadium,
- 4:52Speaker 1: I'm not too sure what the the official attendance figure is,
- 4:56Speaker 1: but when I googled it, Jalan Besar can house about
- 4:59Speaker 1: 6000 people at one game to support Team Singapore and
- 5:03Speaker 1: of course, a small section for the away crowd. So
- 5:06Speaker 1: congratulations and thank you for being there last night, cheering
- 5:09Speaker 1: our boys on.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Singapore beating Timor-Leste 2-0. I want to say congratulations to
- 5:17Speaker 1: Opa Song Wei Yong and Abang Ilhan Fundy.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Two fantastic hitters provided by crosses from Noor Adam and
- 5:27Speaker 1: Kyoga Nakamura. I could watch Ilhan Fundy's goal over and
- 5:31Speaker 1: over again. And yes, Ilhan, I agree, you're not offside,
- 5:36Speaker 1: but VAR showed otherwise. So, our next game for Team Singapore,
- 5:41Speaker 1: they are away to the defending champions, Vietnam.
- 5:44Speaker 1: And then August 7th, they take on Indonesia at the
- 5:50Speaker 1: Jalan Besar Stadium. Now, tickets for that game, they were
- 5:52Speaker 1: sold out before the tickets for Timor-Leste's game sold out
- 5:56Speaker 1: as well. And what's gonna happen this Sunday is very interesting.
- 6:00Speaker 1: If you've walked past the Adidas store over at the
- 6:04Speaker 1: Orchard area, you would have seen this very nice displayed.
- 6:08Speaker 1: With some of our players' names on it. I believe,
- 6:12Speaker 1: I'm just speculating here, it could be the launch of
- 6:15Speaker 1: the brand new Singapore jersey. If it is, I have
- 6:19Speaker 1: a favor to ask. If you can afford it, buy
- 6:23Speaker 1: the Singapore jersey, wear it on August 7th if you're
- 6:26Speaker 1: going to Jalan Besar Stadium to cheer our boys on.
- 6:29Speaker 1: I'll be there. I know it's two days away from
- 6:32Speaker 1: National Day.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I'm not gonna scream and shout too much. I'll conserve
- 6:36Speaker 1: my voice, but I want to be there to support
- 6:38Speaker 1: our boys as we take on Indonesia, our age-old rivals,
- 6:42Speaker 1: I dare say. And then you wash the jersey. If
- 6:46Speaker 1: you got tickets for National Day, actual day, come to
- 6:49Speaker 1: the stadium wearing the Singapore jersey as compared to your
- 6:52Speaker 1: Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, or whatever team that wears red.
- 6:57Speaker 1: So if you can, go get the new Singapore jersey
- 7:00Speaker 1: once it drops.
- 7:01Speaker 1: August 2nd. And to our boys in red, congratulations. Have
- 7:04Speaker 1: a good recovery. Cardi B and somebody who will be
- 7:07Speaker 1: here in Singapore for the Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore
- 7:10Speaker 1: Grand Prix. It's DJ Snake, that one called Tucky Tucky
- 7:14Speaker 1: on 987. We go from Formula One and before that,
- 7:18Speaker 1: what's happening? Only our 61st year of independence and we
- 7:22Speaker 1: are celebrating it at the National Stadium for this year's
- 7:25Speaker 1: National Day. We want you there.
- 7:29Speaker 1: But what's in the way are 3 questions I've set
- 7:33Speaker 1: for you on a very small and easy to do
- 7:37Speaker 1: National Day trivia quiz. So it's A or B answers
- 7:40Speaker 1: and all that I'm asking, really, it's pertaining to NDP.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Things that you will see, things that you will sing,
- 7:48Speaker 1: and people on stage that you'll witness as well. That's
- 7:51Speaker 1: a very big hint. So, call us 669-11.
- 7:56Speaker 1: 987 because we have a pair of actual day NDP
- 7:59Speaker 1: tickets coming your way and if you get all three
- 8:02Speaker 1: answers right, it's yours. Again, 669-11987. Get the calls coming in.
- 8:09Speaker 1: And for your National Day Parade quiz, for actual day
- 8:13Speaker 1: tickets on the line, I have John. John, are you ready? OK, sure.
- 8:18Speaker 1: John, your very first question. How many rounds make up
- 8:21Speaker 1: the presidential gun salute? Is it A 21 or B 27?
- 8:28Speaker 1: 28, 21. 21 is correct. Your next question, how many
- 8:33Speaker 1: times is the national anthem sung at an NDP? Is
- 8:37Speaker 1: it A, 2 times or is it B, 3 times?
- 8:43Speaker 1: 2 times. 2 times is correct. And your last question.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Name me the singer of one of this year's NDP
- 8:51Speaker 1: songs called Giants. Is it A, Rahimah Rahiem or B,
- 8:56Speaker 1: Iman Fundy?
- 8:59Speaker 1: The answer Iman Fany. Iman Fundy is absolutely correct, John.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Well done. You are going to end it.
- 9:08Speaker 1: And you know what, I might be bold when I
- 9:11Speaker 1: say this. For us here in Singapore, a group of
- 9:15Speaker 1: people who always have great expectations placed on them.
- 9:19Speaker 1: It's our athletes. Whether it's our football team or those
- 9:22Speaker 1: flying the flag high for the Olympics, Sea Games, Asian Games,
- 9:26Speaker 1: and how about the Commonwealth Games and a few congratulations
- 9:30Speaker 1: are in order. Firstly, to swimmer Gan Cheng Wei, a
- 9:34Speaker 1: brand new 400 m freestyle national record. It went from
- 9:39Speaker 1: 4 minutes 9.81 seconds to 4 minutes 9.34 seconds. Congratulations,
- 9:46Speaker 1: Gan Chin Wei.
- 9:47Speaker 1: You know what, even though she finished fifth, she swam
- 9:50Speaker 1: her best. It's a brand new national record. We should celebrate.
- 9:54Speaker 1: And also shout out to Mark Brian Lewis, running 100 m,
- 9:58Speaker 1: setting a season best of 10.38 seconds. He's just 23
- 10:03Speaker 1: years old, by the way. The national record, it's his.
- 10:06Speaker 1: If I'm not wrong, it's 10.27 seconds.
- 10:08Speaker 1: I'm very sure he will continue to soar and do
- 10:11Speaker 1: well as he hits his peak. And of course, speaking
- 10:14Speaker 1: of the world of sprinting, we must say congratulations to
- 10:17Speaker 1: Shanti Pereira.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Also a season's best of 11.24 seconds for the 100
- 10:25Speaker 1: m heats. She has qualified for the semis that will
- 10:29Speaker 1: take place tomorrow morning. So for Team Singapore, we are
- 10:33Speaker 1: all cheering you on for the Commonwealth Games. You can
- 10:36Speaker 1: catch all the action on MeWatch, by the way, and
- 10:39Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll be posting highlights on YouTube, TikTok, and
- 10:42Speaker 1: on Instagram. If you just joined us on this Tuesday morning, guys,
- 10:46Speaker 1: we have a situation.
- 10:48Speaker 1: We're no longer stocking Marmite here in Singapore.
- 10:54Speaker 1: According to our friends over at Unilever, so apparently some
- 10:58Speaker 1: customers realized, eh, how come no more Marmite on my
- 11:01Speaker 1: favorite cold storage, Sheng Seong or NTUC shelves? They actually
- 11:05Speaker 1: reached out to our friends at Unilever Singapore, and they responded,
- 11:09Speaker 1: they no longer carry the Marmite brand to Singapore, and
- 11:13Speaker 1: I'm just paraphrasing here. I it's due to low sales
- 11:17Speaker 1: of Marmite, but
- 11:19Speaker 1: OK, this might sound as if I'm in the minority
- 11:23Speaker 1: group here and I'm the only one. I actually like Marmite.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Yes, I, I like the spread. Not too much of it,
- 11:31Speaker 1: just a bit, but yeah, it's a nice snack if,
- 11:34Speaker 1: for example, I'm hungry at night, have it with bread
- 11:37Speaker 1: or some crackers, but I know majority of people around
- 11:41Speaker 1: me going joking, who eats marmite? But yes, I do.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Just like my relationship and love for coriander.
- 11:48Speaker 1: I, I, I, I, I'm so tired defending coriander. I,
- 11:53Speaker 1: I feel it's wrongly judged. Sonia's OK with coriander as well,
- 11:57Speaker 1: so thankfully both of us agree on this, but we
- 11:59Speaker 1: know plenty of others where, for example, if I go
- 12:02Speaker 1: to a hai tilauo and the hai tilauo staff asks me,
- 12:05Speaker 1: do you want coriander? I'll say yes, but the person says, no,
- 12:08Speaker 1: don't put it near me.
- 12:11Speaker 1: So, I wanna have some fun with you about this
- 12:13Speaker 1: inspired by Marmite no longer being available here in Singapore.
- 12:17Speaker 1: It's the Marmite brand, by the way, but Unilever Singapore
- 12:20Speaker 1: has said they might look at bringing back, bringing it
- 12:23Speaker 1: back in the future.
- 12:25Speaker 1: If you like Vegemite, Vegemite is still available. Yes. So
- 12:29Speaker 1: inspired by this, I'm gonna open the phone lines, 669-119-87
- 12:35Speaker 1: and up for grabs, we do have a very nice
- 12:37Speaker 1: dining exchange for two, a dining experience rather at Food
- 12:41Speaker 1: Exchange for two worth over $100. Here's a fun question.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Feel free to call or text us.
- 12:48Speaker 1: What is the one food item that you love, but
- 12:52Speaker 1: everybody around you hates?
- 12:55Speaker 1: It could be coriander, it could be ekan bili, it
- 12:58Speaker 1: could be marmite, vegemite, anything. Let me know if you
- 13:02Speaker 1: do like your answer this morning, we'll give you that
- 13:05Speaker 1: very nice dining experience for two. We have an emergency
- 13:08Speaker 1: here in Singapore. We are out of marmite. How like that!
- 13:12Speaker 1: The chicha store Marmite chicken. How? What are they gonna
- 13:15Speaker 1: use now to replace it? Because our friends over at
- 13:17Speaker 1: Unilever Singapore, I think they've confirmed through an email to
- 13:21Speaker 1: one disgruntled customer saying, Hey, what happened to the Marmite
- 13:25Speaker 1: and my sheng xiongs or cold storage? So I'm paraphrasing
- 13:28Speaker 1: here again. Due to low sales, they thought, OK, lah,
- 13:31Speaker 1: let's just pull it out of Singapore for a while.
- 13:33Speaker 1: But I guess you have a Marmite community.
- 13:36Speaker 1: If there is, can I please join it? I want
- 13:38Speaker 1: to bring back Mamite here to Singapore as well. Again,
- 13:40Speaker 1: don't call me weird, but then again, when I tell
- 13:43Speaker 1: you I like coriander, you might call me really weird
- 13:47Speaker 1: and just judge me differently. I'm gonna go to the
- 13:49Speaker 1: phone lines right now. What is the one food item
- 13:52Speaker 1: that you love, but everybody around you cannot tahan? They
- 13:56Speaker 1: hate it. Uh, I wanna say good morning to huh.
- 14:00Speaker 1: That's your username.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Morning Joakim. I really like the toast box kaya toast
- 14:05Speaker 1: and to eat it with the curry chicken sauce, but
- 14:09Speaker 1: everyone around me says it's gross or it's weird to
- 14:12Speaker 1: eat it that way, but I really feel it's OK,
- 14:14Speaker 1: creamy and delicious.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Kaya toast with curry chicken sauce.
- 14:21Speaker 1: I've never tried it. I don't think I will, and
- 14:25Speaker 1: your username and my reaction to this answer is the same, huh?
- 14:29Speaker 1: Question mark. I also wanna say good morning to Sandra
- 14:32Speaker 1: and Sandra just sent me a picture of it. Good morning, Joakim.
- 14:35Speaker 1: My favorite food that many will have a problem with
- 14:38Speaker 1: and a weird look is pig brain.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Hai Tillao serves nice pork brains. Sandra, Sandra, you sent
- 14:44Speaker 1: me a picture, huh.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Wow! I cannot believe I'm looking at a picture of
- 14:51Speaker 1: a pork brain at 8:23 a.m. on a Tuesday morning,
- 14:55Speaker 1: going to the phone line, 669-119-87. Adrian, what is your
- 15:00Speaker 1: food item that you love, that everybody around you hates?
- 15:04Speaker 2: Celery.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Celery?
- 15:06Speaker 2: OK. Oh, I like the crunchy taste and the smell
- 15:09Speaker 2: of it, but some of my friends just don't like
- 15:11Speaker 2: the smell, especially celery drinks.
- 15:14Speaker 1: OK, so when you have celery in front of your friends,
- 15:17Speaker 1: do they judge you for it?
- 15:19Speaker 2: I
- 15:19Speaker 2: don't, but I will try to make them try, but
- 15:23Speaker 2: they won't want to
- 15:24Speaker 2: try it.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Was there one friend of yours that actually tried it
- 15:28Speaker 1: and gave it a chance but didn't like it in
- 15:29Speaker 1: the end?
- 15:30Speaker 2: Oh
- 15:30Speaker 2: my God, no, nobody dared to try. Oh no.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Yeah, especially drinks, the juice. I, um, they felt that
- 15:37Speaker 2: the smell is really
- 15:38Speaker 2: strong.
- 15:39Speaker 1: I see. You know your answer, right? There'll be half
- 15:42Speaker 1: of Singapore agreeing with you and going, Oh, celery. Thank
- 15:46Speaker 1: you so much for your call. Take care, OK. Bye-bye.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Keep them coming over.
- 15:50Speaker 1: At 669-11987 or if you want to WhatsApp us, the
- 15:53Speaker 1: number is 90050987. The food item that you love but
- 15:59Speaker 1: everybody around you hates. Polite rumming with Marmite. We are
- 16:02Speaker 1: out of it here in Singapore, by the way. In
- 16:04Speaker 1: case you didn't know, I'm quite sad. I actually like Marmite.
- 16:09Speaker 1: And once in a while my mom would buy the
- 16:11Speaker 1: Marmite jar from NTUC or Sheng Siong she'll bring home,
- 16:15Speaker 1: and at night when I get really hungry sometimes or
- 16:17Speaker 1: hunger pangs or cravings, I'll just toast bread, put the
- 16:20Speaker 1: Marmite spread, and have a bite of it and go
- 16:23Speaker 1: back to sleep.
- 16:24Speaker 1: But yes, uh, according to our friends over at Unilever Singapore, again,
- 16:28Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing, due to low sales, lah, low, low customer take,
- 16:33Speaker 1: I guess, they've decided to pull it off Singapore shelves,
- 16:36Speaker 1: but they're not ruling out a comeback in the future,
- 16:39Speaker 1: but the Marmite community, if there's such a thing, can
- 16:42Speaker 1: I please join?
- 16:43Speaker 1: Here in Singapore not too happy. They're quite sad. Where
- 16:46Speaker 1: am I gonna get my Marmite now? Must I order
- 16:48Speaker 1: from eBay or Amazon or whatsoever? So inspired by that,
- 16:52Speaker 1: my question to you today is, what's the one food
- 16:56Speaker 1: item that you really love, but everyone around you cannot tahan? They, they,
- 17:01Speaker 1: they just hate it. Uh, I wanna say good morning
- 17:04Speaker 1: to what's your name? Alvin, Alvin on WhatsApp.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Well, Alvin, you say, almond drinks. People say it smells
- 17:13Speaker 1: like cockroaches.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I, I, I wouldn't know what a cockroach smells like,
- 17:20Speaker 1: but OK, I trust your word for it, Elvin. One
- 17:23Speaker 1: coming in from Kate. Kate, you say, hey Joakim, I
- 17:27Speaker 1: love Century eggs, canned sardines, and plain sliced ginger.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Apparently, I got the taste buds of a retired grandpa
- 17:38Speaker 1: trapped in a young body. There you go. And John saying, hey, Joakim,
- 17:42Speaker 1: I know a drink that will, that will be frowned
- 17:45Speaker 1: upon by many and loved by others, including me. It's Bandung.
- 17:50Speaker 1: I mean, the rose syrup on its own or even
- 17:52Speaker 1: used in cooking. It's frowned upon sometimes, but somehow when
- 17:57Speaker 1: added with condensed and evaporated milk, it's so refreshing. There
- 18:00Speaker 1: you go. 669-11987, calling us Melissa, what's your one food item?
- 18:06Speaker 2: I
- 18:06Speaker 2: think it's rawville, but it's the OG recipe. I'm not
- 18:10Speaker 2: sure anyone still remembers that. And that tells me or everyone.
- 18:15Speaker 2: About my age, that was, I think, before, um, mad
- 18:19Speaker 2: cow disease took away, um, the original recipe. I'm not
- 18:23Speaker 2: sure if you know about this. Yeah.
- 18:25Speaker 1: So I just googled Bovril on NTUC FairPrice. It says
- 18:28Speaker 1: out of stock. I beef, the red color bottle. So
- 18:32Speaker 1: what about Borvill do you love?
- 18:34Speaker 2: Um, I guess it's OK. It's unhealthy, but it's like the, the,
- 18:39Speaker 2: the saltiness of it. It's really, yeah.
- 18:43Speaker 2: It's not supposed to be eaten like that, but what
- 18:46Speaker 2: happened was my mom will scoop like one teaspoon and
- 18:50Speaker 2: then mix it with water, and I'll just drink it
- 18:53Speaker 2: like that. Oh wow.
- 18:55Speaker 1: That's a different kind of a brand's essence of chicken,
- 18:58Speaker 1: but real. Thank you so much for your call, Melissa.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Take care, OK? Keep the calls coming over at 669-11987
- 19:05Speaker 1: or if you want to, WhatsApp us at 90050987. The
- 19:09Speaker 1: food item that you love.
- 19:11Speaker 1: But everyone around you hates. If we do like your answer,
- 19:14Speaker 1: what's coming your way, a nice dining experience for two.
- 19:16Speaker 1: All thanks to our friends over at Food Exchange. Again,
- 19:19Speaker 1: if you just joined us on this Tuesday morning, I
- 19:22Speaker 1: cheekily say this here in Singapore, we have an emergency.
- 19:25Speaker 1: We are out of Marmite.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Yeah, so the little Marmite jars that you used to
- 19:32Speaker 1: see at your Sheng Xiong's Cold Storage or NTU seats
- 19:35Speaker 1: is no longer there. Yeah, and Marmite lovers here in Singapore,
- 19:39Speaker 1: though very few, we are quite sad. Like, where are
- 19:42Speaker 1: we gonna get our Marmite fixed now? Just go to
- 19:44Speaker 1: eBay or Amazon or something.
- 19:46Speaker 1: And according to Unilever Singapore, who brings in that Marmite
- 19:49Speaker 1: brand that we all know and love, um, they said,
- 19:52Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing again, low customer sales and all that,
- 19:55Speaker 1: so they're pulling it off Singapore shelves for a bit,
- 19:58Speaker 1: but they're not ruling out a return. So maybe if
- 20:00Speaker 1: the Marmite community here in Singapore make enough noise, we
- 20:03Speaker 1: will see it back, maybe say in limited supply on
- 20:06Speaker 1: our shelves here at Sheng Siong's or NTUCs, but inspired
- 20:10Speaker 1: by that.
- 20:11Speaker 1: My question to you today is, what's the food item
- 20:14Speaker 1: that you love but everyone around you hates? I want
- 20:19Speaker 1: to say good morning to Jezz. Jess says, morning, Joakim.
- 20:23Speaker 1: For me, it's the opposite. I hate anything mutton slash lamb.
- 20:29Speaker 1: My boyfriend loved it before he met me. Poor him,
- 20:32Speaker 1: had to give up his mutton soup and lamb biryani. Jazz,
- 20:35Speaker 1: that is true love right there. That is true love.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Marry this man.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Because I can never give up mutton biryani for every,
- 20:43Speaker 1: for anyone.
- 20:46Speaker 1: This is true love. Wow, I, I, I wanna give
- 20:48Speaker 1: your boyfriend a hug. Like say to him, Do you
- 20:51Speaker 1: miss it? Martin Biryani, come, come to Sami's Curry for
- 20:55Speaker 1: your bachelor's party.
- 20:58Speaker 1: OK, going back to one more message. Winston says, morning Solo, Joe.
- 21:03Speaker 1: I might get hate for this, but I actually don't
- 21:06Speaker 1: like the chicken slash pork floss bread. But others around
- 21:10Speaker 1: me love them. To me, it tastes like cotton wool. Now, Winston,
- 21:15Speaker 1: let me try to reason with you, OK? When bread
- 21:18Speaker 1: talk Singapore became a thing.
- 21:20Speaker 1: The pork floss and the fire floss buns, yeah, it
- 21:23Speaker 1: took me a while to get used to. I, I
- 21:25Speaker 1: agree with the cotton wool taste, but now whenever I
- 21:28Speaker 1: go to Bret, I buy the fire floss and the
- 21:31Speaker 1: cheese sausage buns and sometimes the coffee, the the coffee
- 21:35Speaker 1: or bun.
- 21:36Speaker 1: as well. Very nice to eat. Anyway, going to the
- 21:38Speaker 1: phone lines, it's 669-119-87. Irene, what's the one food item
- 21:43Speaker 1: that you love but everyone around you cannot tahano they
- 21:47Speaker 1: hate it.
- 21:47Speaker 2: It's chinchchalo Chinchchalo,
- 21:50Speaker 1: OK what.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Well, I know people who don't like it. Oh
- 21:54Speaker 1: no, why people don't like cake? Why do you love chinchallok?
- 21:57Speaker 1: Tell
- 21:57Speaker 2: us. It's got such an amazing flavor that when you
- 22:01Speaker 2: just add a little bit of it, it just lifts
- 22:03Speaker 2: the whole food to a whole different perspective.
- 22:05Speaker 1: So when you have chinchallo in front of your friends
- 22:08Speaker 1: or family who don't like it, what are their reactions
- 22:10Speaker 1: to you?
- 22:11Speaker 2: See you, the smell.
- 22:16Speaker 1: You know what, at this point, given how I love coriander, chinchallo, marmite,
- 22:20Speaker 1: and Bovril, I think maybe I'm the weird one. But
- 22:22Speaker 1: thank you so much for your call, Irene. You take care, OK? So,
- 22:25Speaker 1: about to bring a close to the question today. What's
- 22:28Speaker 1: the one food item that you love but everybody around
- 22:31Speaker 1: you hates inspired by how we no longer have Marmite
- 22:34Speaker 1: here in Singapore? Where to get it? Hello? Anybody? Answers, please. Uh,
- 22:39Speaker 1: I wanna read you a few more answers before I
- 22:42Speaker 1: actually give a prize to the winner.
- 22:45Speaker 1: People are texting in. I want to say good morning
- 22:47Speaker 1: to Mike. Mike as well as Rosalie. Both of you
- 22:51Speaker 1: said the same thing. Chicken feet.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a that that's a no from me. You
- 22:57Speaker 1: can enjoy all the chicken feet on my behalf. One
- 23:00Speaker 1: more coming in from Ridwan. Ridwan, your answer is very interesting,
- 23:04Speaker 1: and I didn't know this was a food item. Morning, Joe.
- 23:09Speaker 1: What I love is nice fried chicken buttocks. Tongan tongen
- 23:15Speaker 1: ayam tong ayam, hopefully I'm saying that correctly.
- 23:18Speaker 1: All around me, my friends and family say no, no, no.
- 23:21Speaker 1: I even tried to psycho my 10 year old son
- 23:23Speaker 1: to try, but after a while, my mom, my grandmother
- 23:26Speaker 1: said it's buttock, it's chicken buttock. He never tried it anymore.
- 23:30Speaker 1: That means more for me.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Are you
- 23:35Speaker 1: Now I'm curious. I didn't know this was a thing.
- 23:38Speaker 1: One last text coming in from Ping. Ping, you say
- 23:41Speaker 1: fish eyes. Yup. That that that's a no. You can
- 23:44Speaker 1: enjoy it for me as well. Anyway, thank you so
- 23:46Speaker 1: much for all your calls and texts coming in. I
- 23:49Speaker 1: think for today's winner, I would like to give it
- 23:52Speaker 1: to Irene who called us earlier. Irene, congratulations.
- 23:56Speaker 1: s
- 23:58Speaker 1: Telling us about chinchallok, to which it's OK lah. I, I,
- 24:03Speaker 1: I'm OK with chinchallo. Not really like must have it,
- 24:06Speaker 1: but if it's there, I'll take. But apparently the people
- 24:09Speaker 1: around her doesn't like it, and they'll always say things like,
- 24:12Speaker 1: E chinchallok, but you know what, what's coming your way, Irene?
- 24:15Speaker 1: A very nice dining experience. All thanks to our friends
- 24:17Speaker 1: over at Food Exchange worth a
- 24:19Speaker 1: $100. You can celebrate SG 61 this August at Steven's
- 24:24Speaker 1: Sunday Brunch featuring a National Day edition with a vibrant
- 24:29Speaker 1: buffet of Singapore favorites, international classics, and family-friendly experiences. Hopefully,
- 24:34Speaker 1: they have Chinch Chalok over there as well. Hopefully, you're
- 24:37Speaker 1: having a fantastic start to your Tuesday morning so far.
- 24:39Speaker 1: 28th of July.
- 24:41Speaker 1: We are inching closer to August, National Day territory here
- 24:45Speaker 1: in Singapore, but OK, before we go back to happier
- 24:49Speaker 1: news on the shock circuit, again, look, when things happen
- 24:53Speaker 1: in parliament, sometimes, yeah, we talk about it, but when
- 24:56Speaker 1: it's really serious, especially whatever happened last week, we, we,
- 25:00Speaker 1: we don't touch it. We, we don't want to get
- 25:02Speaker 1: in trouble. I think the mainstream media
- 25:04Speaker 1: Doing enough reporting about it already, but by now I'm
- 25:07Speaker 1: very sure we are all aware of whatever happened with
- 25:09Speaker 1: former acting minister in charge of Muslim affairs, Mr. Mohammad
- 25:13Speaker 1: Faisal Ibrahim. I will not touch on that matter or
- 25:16Speaker 1: anything like that, but what I want to say is,
- 25:18Speaker 1: unfortunately in the social media space right now on your Reddits,
- 25:22Speaker 1: your hardware zones, and even your Facebook comments section of
- 25:26Speaker 1: a few pages.
- 25:27Speaker 1: I mean, yeah lah, there is that curiosity. People are
- 25:31Speaker 1: going on a witch hunt to find out who was
- 25:34Speaker 1: the lady and all that, and now there's a lady
- 25:36Speaker 1: who is wrongly doxed online. Firstly, doxing is a crime,
- 25:42Speaker 1: and now this lady has been wrongly doxed online, to
- 25:44Speaker 1: which there are people from parliament coming out to say, hey,
- 25:47Speaker 1: it is not her. Do not unlawfully dock someone just
- 25:51Speaker 1: like that. And I can only imagine the anxiety and
- 25:54Speaker 1: the frustration this lady who got wrongly doxed online.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Uh, she might be going through right now telling her
- 26:00Speaker 1: friends or family members or people around her, hey, it
- 26:02Speaker 1: is not me, it is not me. But you know
- 26:04Speaker 1: sometimes when you're really deep in the rabbit hole of
- 26:07Speaker 1: something and you're so invested, right, you start to also
- 26:10Speaker 1: look at your friend differently. Maybe her friends might look
- 26:13Speaker 1: at her differently, even though it is not her.
- 26:15Speaker 1: And she's desperately telling people it is not her. It
- 26:18Speaker 1: has caused her distress and I think she might be
- 26:20Speaker 1: taking legal action if push comes to shove. So just
- 26:24Speaker 1: because you're on Reddit, you're on Hardware zone, or maybe
- 26:27Speaker 1: even the Facebook comments section.
- 26:29Speaker 1: You think you are hiding behind a burner account or
- 26:32Speaker 1: an anonymous account with no profile picture or whatsoever. There
- 26:35Speaker 1: are ways to track you if a report has been
- 26:38Speaker 1: lodged and you will get in trouble. So, these type
- 26:42Speaker 1: of things, honestly, just save it for the copy talks
- 26:44Speaker 1: and all that. Your digital footprint and your online footprint, yeah,
- 26:49Speaker 1: just be extra careful with it and again, don't dox
- 26:52Speaker 1: people online, whether it's the the perpetrator.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Or an innocent person, you might get in trouble. There
- 26:59Speaker 1: you go. Now, if you are free this Sunday and
- 27:02Speaker 1: you want to soak in the National Day atmosphere, how
- 27:05Speaker 1: about going down to Gardens by the Bay, the Meadow
- 27:08Speaker 1: for the Media Corp National Day concert, starring the likes
- 27:12Speaker 1: of Hadi Mirza, Benjamin King. We've got Rahimah Rahim. 53A
- 27:18Speaker 1: will be
- 27:18Speaker 1: There, Dunman High. You guys have a string ensemble and
- 27:22Speaker 1: symphonic band that will be there as well. Wanna say
- 27:25Speaker 1: congratulations to Sarah May. I believe this is her first
- 27:28Speaker 1: time performing for a Media Corp concert, so all the
- 27:30Speaker 1: best to you. I, I actually met her on I
- 27:33Speaker 1: Can See Your Voice. That was, wow, last year now.
- 27:36Speaker 1: And Sherman Joel will be there as well, so please
- 27:38Speaker 1: go on down. It's a free concert. Enjoy. Bring some.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Nice picnic. Makan. It's hosted by our very own Jermaine.
- 27:45Speaker 1: We've got Fatli Kamsani and Salavanan Ayavu as well. He
- 27:48Speaker 1: will be there. So again, do support them. And with
- 27:51Speaker 1: Benjamin King being there, you can rest assured that he'll
- 27:55Speaker 1: perform this classic now from maybe NDP 2024. You and
- 28:00Speaker 1: I are not alone, not alone. Look,
- 28:04Speaker 1: Whenever they play it before the show starts for NDP,
- 28:08Speaker 1: especially for the P5 kids, they love the song. They're
- 28:11Speaker 1: singing it out loud and proud, and tomorrow, Sonia Chew
- 28:15Speaker 1: returns from Belgium. Loads of Tomorrowland updates coming your way. Now,
- 28:20Speaker 1: we've always said this together. We wanna go Tomorrowland together
- 28:23Speaker 1: with our friends. We will all come together, book out
- 28:26Speaker 1: a villa, enjoy it.
- 28:28Speaker 1: But then this girl, she meets Martin Garrix in person
- 28:32Speaker 1: for Tomorrowland campaign. How is she gonna top that experience
- 28:35Speaker 1: for future Tomorrowlands? Wow, Sonia Chew, we got loads of
- 28:39Speaker 1: questions to ask her tomorrow and I'm pretty sure she'll
- 28:41Speaker 1: gladly give you all the updates.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Dates. And the one thing I wanna thank Sonia Chew
- 28:45Speaker 1: for is, uh, not being a basic person and putting
- 28:47Speaker 1: all the ping ping pang yang on her face and
- 28:49Speaker 1: doing all the usual influencer poses in front of the
- 28:52Speaker 1: main stage. So Sonia, well done to that. But also,
- 28:56Speaker 1: tomorrow morning at just past 9:00 a.m. I have a
- 28:59Speaker 1: very good friend, talented artist coming in the studio to
- 29:02Speaker 1: share about her brand new single called Bury It. I
- 29:05Speaker 1: wanna say welcome back to 987, Estel Fly for tomorrow.
- 29:11Speaker 1: Cannot wait to have a chat with her and look,
- 29:13Speaker 1: if there's anyone I personally feel who's very underrated here
- 29:17Speaker 1: in Singapore, it's Estelle Fly. You look at her resume
- 29:20Speaker 1: and what she can do, natural on stage. What a
- 29:23Speaker 1: great dancer, what a great showman, showperson, and she can
- 29:26Speaker 1: sing as well. That's the most important part.
- 29:29Speaker 1: So tomorrow, let's grill her more about a brand new
- 29:32Speaker 1: single called Bury It. I believe the music video is
- 29:35Speaker 1: available on YouTube for you if you want to go
- 29:37Speaker 1: have a look. About to close the show and hand
- 29:39Speaker 1: you over to Anne Nicole for a lunch date and
- 29:42Speaker 1: not to worry, tomorrow, Thursday and Friday, 3 more chances
- 29:47Speaker 1: for you to win Alex Warren concert tickets, National Day Parade,
- 29:52Speaker 1: actual day tickets as well. It'll be coming your way. Again,
- 29:56Speaker 1: I'll set a very simple NDP trivia.
- 29:59Speaker 1: quiz, get 3 answers right and those tickets are yours.
- 30:04Speaker 1: And if you're thinking to yourself, hey, the 987 phone
- 30:06Speaker 1: lines Joakim, very hard to call through. You know what?
- 30:08Speaker 1: I hear you. I, I was once like that as well.
- 30:11Speaker 1: I tried calling into 987 a long time ago to
- 30:14Speaker 1: win National Day tickets. Cannot win. Very hard to get through.
- 30:17Speaker 1: But you know what? At least now we have social
- 30:20Speaker 1: media and Instagram. Tomorrow, Wednesday at 12 p.m., be on standby.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Look out for my post going out, the collab post
- 30:28Speaker 1: with 987.
- 30:29Speaker 1: We're giving you not one but 2 pairs, or not
- 30:33Speaker 1: 2 pairs. We have a total of 8 tickets, so
- 30:36Speaker 1: 4 tickets each per winner. We want to make sure
- 30:39Speaker 1: you can bring your family or a nice group of
- 30:41Speaker 1: friends over to the actual day for NDP as well.
- 30:44Speaker 1: So all that and more tomorrow on the shock circuit.
- 30:47Speaker 1: And don't forget, Sonny Chew is back with us tomorrow
- 30:49Speaker 1: morning as well.
