  Speaker 2: Good morning. Welcome to Friday. The weekend is officially here.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We are wrapping up your week with some details you
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: might have missed, especially involving Avengers Endgame. Yeah, exciting
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: stuff, yeah. Swedish House Mafia are gonna kick us off first.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Singapore's
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: number one hit
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: If you watched Avengers Endgame, you would know there's one
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: line in that movie set by Robert Downey Junior's Tony Stark.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: If you mess with time, time tends to mess back.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And knowing who he's playing in Avengers Doomsday, Dr. Doom,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: or rumored to be Doctor Doom, but is it a variant?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Is it the real Dr. Doom? We don't know yet,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: because Cillian Murphy also rumored to be in it, but
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: without confirmation.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: But Avengers Endgame En Care, it will be out in cinemas,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I think September 25th for a rerun, but with 4
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: minutes of additional footage, which apparently is important to the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: plot of Avengers
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Doomsday. OK, so can I just watch the 4 minutes
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: separately or cannot? Must watch the whole movie. You know
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: what, I'm very sure it's.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the lack of security in some movie cinemas, people will
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: record it and put it up on TikTok and on Instagram.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: But listen,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: like I actually don't mind rewatching it because you know me,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I forget things quite easily in terms of like movie
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: plots and all that. Like, I will have to rewatch
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it again, especially because the universe is so complex. And
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you want to know what's going on.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: When the new ones drop.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: So the trailer just dropped for Avengers Endgame Encore, and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying this, the coloring in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Avengers Endgame Encore, it's a lot better than what it
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: was in 2019, but is this because of better tech,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: or is there something else at
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: play here?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Don't know. Yeah, interesting to see, but um, I think
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: this whole topic of uh differing.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Different color treatments in movies have been brought up before.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I think, um, one of the more recent ones, do
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: you remember Moana? So they had a second part, right,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: if I'm not wrong, uh, and the coloring was a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: lot more muted in part two, to which people didn't
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: quite enjoy that. I saw the online sentiment, they were
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: saying like, where are the colors? Where's the, where's the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: vibrant splashes of like the ocean and the sky and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: like what happened to the coloring?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: So I don't know whether they responded. I'm not sure.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Was there a reason for it? Let's find
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: out. Matrix. But when it's real life, it's
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: colors I don't know.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I like I said, intentional or is it just, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a tech tech sort of situation? It's officially Friday, last
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: few days of August before you hit the, I, I
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: think official Q4 of your school year and also your
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: September holidays and whatever other exams coming up after that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: So we want you to be in good spirits and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: good energy this morning.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Can I give you a small nugget of info here
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: in the world?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yes,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: 28th of August, it's actually the late Michael Jackson's birthday.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's, what is he? Is he? Is it Virgo
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: season already?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not the best at it, even though I always
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: refer to horoscopes.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so if Michael Jackson was still alive, if my
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: calculations are correct, he would be 67.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: No way. Hey man, I mean, with all the conspiracy
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: theories out there, you never know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we want to open up phone lines right now. 669-11987.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Request for a song, give a shout out to your
• 3:52

• 3:55
  Speaker 2: why not give them a shout out?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Or you can WhatsApp us at 90050987. I stand corrected.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Michael Jackson will be 68. He was 67 last year.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: He would have been still a legend if he were around. Exactly, yeah.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Heading to the phone lines now, let's see who we have. Hello.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: This is Rebecca and Nicholas. Hello, good morning, Rebecca and Nicholas.

  Speaker 1: Taoan School and what's life like over there for you?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: It's really fun. We have like fun activities like a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Harry Potter escape room last year.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: So cool. So what do you do in this escape room?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Like what, what did you see? We had to like
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: answer questions to go from part of the room to
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the other room, and in the end we will get
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a prize.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: OK, can I ask you a Harry Potter question? OK, OK,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I'll try. What was Harry Potter's first Quidditch broomstick called?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Nimbus 2000.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: 2000.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I love that you're actually correct. You passed the trivia test,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: but we don't exactly have a price for you this morning, unfortunately.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But what we can do is to get you a song.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: What song can we get you today, sweeties? Can we
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: have the fate of? Sure, that's coming up just for you.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Is it going out to anyone? Uh, everyone.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Having
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: PSLE
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Alright. All the best to you as well if you're
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: doing PSLE, OK?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: And have a great weekend, OK? Thank you. Bye bye.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: So you were saying something about what a non-venomous snake
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: earlier on. Where was it spotted?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Someone's a was spotted over there. No,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that one venomous. Some might be venomous.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Wanna say hello to our friends over at Mandai Wildlife Reserve.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: So you would think when you see a non-venomous snake
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: outside the enclosures of anywhere in Mandai Wildlife Reserve, you
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: might think, hey, that snake escaped.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Oh no.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Escape from the enclosure. That
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: was the TikTok video that was circulating
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: online. I mean, I need to know how this snake
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: look like. Was it very scary looking? So
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it's called a painted bronze back. You can Google a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: picture of it.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: So
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it's quite small, but it's very long. Are you, are
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you googling it right now? OK, so the TikTok video
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that caught everyone's attention was one that was circulating with
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the caption Escape snake mark in blue.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And you can see the Mandai Wildlife Reserve staff wearing gloves,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: making sure they're safe and they gently and calmly removed
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the painted bronze back. OK,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: um, you, you're right, it's quite small, but it's quite
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: beautiful actually. So it does look like a, like a
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: fancy snake. So
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it's actually.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: That's native to Singapore, but it's not part of the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: animal population, so somehow I think this snake found its
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: way there and it was right next to an enclosure,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: glass animal enclosure. So I wonder whether was it the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: reptile kingdom catching up with some friends a
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: gossip session, you know.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Or like, hey, the prodigal son returned.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: No,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: no, no, it wasn't part of the population, so I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: don't think there's prodigal
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: son. It's just looking for some friends. It just wants
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to belong.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Like maybe the python. What's what's new in
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the outside
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: world?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Tell me what's new.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: In the
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: outside
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: world. Yeah, so I think it's been removed in a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: very safe manner.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, we should have given it a name. Painted
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: bronze. What would you call a snake?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Like a, like a snakington or
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: wow.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Don't ever let me name anything, OK. Husband right here
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: on 987 Singapore's number one hit music station. I think
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: she was on some, um, uh, talk show. I can't
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: remember who it was, um, but it must be one
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: of the usual suspects, late night show and all that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Um, and she was just remarking that she still hasn't
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: found her husband, to which I'm like, we're single, come
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: here. But you know what, I think next year she
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: might find herself a Grammy or two. She might, she
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: might for her album This Music May Contain. Hope I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: have it on vinyl. What a record. What an album.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Well done, Rick.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: If
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: you actually listen to the songs in the way that
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: it's meant to be listened to.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you know, in order, it will make so much sense
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: and I love it
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: so much.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And you know you're someone special, something special if Hans
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Zimmer himself agrees to a collab
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: with you with you, yeah, exactly. Um, I think plenty
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: of music producers and people look at Ray, powers that
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: be look at Ray, and they're like, she's just, she's
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: a reincarnation of many of the great musicians.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Singers from the past, you
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: know, that's it. If you love Hans Zimmer, by the way,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: he's coming to Singapore October 7th. Hey, maybe he'll bring Ray.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I'm kidding.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You never know, but I'm going. I, I love all
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the soundtracks he's done for movies and especially games. If
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: you played Modern Warfare 2 in the late 2000s, that
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: was one of the amazing soundtracks for a game ever.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: But speaking of concerts, Sonia, I'm very upset.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And I, and I don't say this in an entitled manner,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: but I feel if we bought tickets for this particular concert,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: we have every right to be upset.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I, I think I know what you're talking about. Yes,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: it was all everyone was talking about yesterday.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Especially if we got tickets. We'll tell you more in
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: just a little bit. This does affect us here in
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Singapore when it comes to this particular artist. I mean,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: how long has it been since his Super Bowl performance already?
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Has it been half a year?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much half a year, 6 months since then, yeah. So, hey, man,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: like he's gone on to do some great things and
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I think that was, that was the start of like
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: a new chapter for him, you know.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: If I'm not wrong, I saw a video of Bad
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Bunny very impressed with the Australian for singing this song
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: back to him for a country that doesn't really speak Spanish.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: was gonna say.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Like in the right intonations and everything. Not too bad,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: but you're just making noise at this point. OK.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: An artist that I love personally because his song lyrics
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: relate a lot to what I was going through in
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a very dark time, maybe say in the early 2010s
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and all that. Post Malone.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know him?
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: And more recently, I guess, his newer works.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: This song is
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: my personal favorite from him,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: yeah, OK,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: but the thing is we were all excited and looking
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: forward to the 25th of September here in Singapore because
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: it was announced that he was coming back for a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: stand-alone show as compared to what he did for Formula One,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I think, 3 years ago now, much shorter set, yeah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: but for some strange reason, not just in Singapore, but
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I think almost all of his Asia shows
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: canceled.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Did they say it's postponed or canceled.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: That's the thing.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: They didn't actually confirm it, right? It was Malone.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: If you're
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: tuned in to our station by some miracle,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: people are tuned in,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: fire your entire PR team. That is not how you
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: do it. I, I rather Post Malone himself come out
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: with a statement on why he's canceling or postponing all
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the shows in Asia, and at least let your fans
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and people who are looking forward to the concert know.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: WhatsApp because people were flying to Taiwan,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Korea.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Some were flying to Singapore to watch him perform and
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: now how to refund their flight tickets cannot
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: work. And, and the thing is, it wasn't an official
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: statement even, like it's just that I guess the news
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: channels picked up enough of the noise to be like, OK,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: we can run this story, which then makes you wonder
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: like this might lean to be more true than it
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: is a rumor, right?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: All his account posts now and even fan accounts, people
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: are flooding it saying, tell us why you canceled it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: People are leaving comments in Bahasa Indo, Bahasa, Malayu, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: even Korean as well. So yeah, very soon I'm very
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: sure because they can't ignore the noise anymore. We'll see
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a post from Post Malone written by his PR agent
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: saying to all my fans in Asia, I'm so sorry,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: you know, that kind of thing.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: But that's the thing, it's with any piece of bad news, right?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: You want to be the person to break it before
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: word gets around. Don't you think? Like it's, this has
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: got to do with like breakups. It's got to do
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: with like if you betrayed someone or you did someone wrong,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: you want to be the one to say it first.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: So the one, you know, it's postponed or canceled yesterday
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Ticketmaster Singapore, they sent me the SMS saying that I'll
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: get the payment for the refunded to my credit card.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: This is, yeah, I know it can be frustrating. It
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: can be very frustrating.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Concert, but, you know, take this one on the chin
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: and move on with life.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: But you know who I feel the most bad for
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: the people that have to deal with the logistics of it,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: like people from Ticketmaster, for example, or like the organization.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: That have to deal with the backlash in those countries.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Again, it's not Ticketmaster's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: fault
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: for this one, it's not. Yeah, it's the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Post Malone himself who has to come out and tell
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: us why. I think he owes it to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: us.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Post Malone.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the best meme now?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Postpone Malone. That was thanks to Louisa I guess. Sorry joking,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: sorry.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I'm sure you've had to buy
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: a gift or two last time for some exes or something.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: You've never bought anything, Chanel, OK, not a Chanel. I mean,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: what do
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I like some scion or a prince or
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: what? No
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: lah, it can be small leather goods or what, right?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: It's not that bad compared to like a bag.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: OK, can you use the CDC vouchers?
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Cannot. Maybe this is what, see, I need to teach
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: you a thing or two. Maybe just get a small
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: little gift. It's, you know, not that expensive, OK, OK,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: for like birthday or something. She'll really
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: appreciate it in
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the future to a girl in my
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: life. Yeah, OK,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: yes, you please look for me for advice. OK, can
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: you not
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: make me sound so
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: uncool?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Do you want me to actually respond to that? OK,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: on. Let's go. Coming
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: up in just a few minutes now.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: He's laughing because he knows,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: OK. Shut up.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Coming up in just a bit, um, I think this
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: is a story that would almost scare us if we
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: are like, uh, dog owners that are not exactly fans
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: of letting our dogs maybe socialize with other dogs, for example, OK?
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: And I think when my mom and my dad like
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: got to adopt Maxi, it's, it's not just about training
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the dog, it's about also training the human, if you
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: know what I mean.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Whenever I run at Bishan Park and I see the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: dog area, right, that's where dogs are off the leash.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: You
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: can run around it's an enclosed area.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but what's kind of giving me anxiety is like, hey,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: will this dog attack another dog? Will this dog get
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: along or will it start barking and causing a scene?
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: So it has, I mean, for, for, for Maxi, our dog,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: she is not the most sociable when it comes to
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: other dogs for some reason. I know how she feels.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: And she doesn't like male dogs. I mean, it might
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: be some trauma or PTSD from the past because she
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: was a breeding dog, right? So maybe that's got to
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: do with that, but she's not the friendliest when it
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: comes to, she's just scared and she shrinks away. She
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: can sense and see the dog like a mile away,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: you know. Sometimes she will cause a scene like when
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: we walk to the restaurant, right? We're at the, we're
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: at the entrance of the restaurant. We haven't even sat
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: down yet, but she refuses to walk to like the
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: table that we're assigned to. Then we're wondering like why,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: like what's there, you know, kind of thing.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Then true enough when we just lift her up and
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: walked there, we see like a big dog somewhere and
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: she I think she can sense it or smell it
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: or something. Anyway, speaking of big dogs, I think I
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: would be pretty scared if this happened to me too,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: and this is a reminder to always make sure that
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: you're a responsible pet owner. Thanks for joining us here
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: this morning. OK, so, um, I was at an event recently,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: not too long ago, and this kind of, this kind
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: of caught my attention, OK, and it got me thinking
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: as well, like,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Did I ever used to be like that and have
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I changed along the years, over the years? OK. So
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: we've attended events together before, I recall. Sometimes you would
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: leave before or I would leave before you. I mean,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: who usually leaves first?
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't do an Irish goodbye to you. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: you will say bye.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I'll always let you know that I'm going first, but
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the rest are no need lah. I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: just
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: fade out. No, it's true, it's true. Over the, over
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the course of time, you just realize it's fine, right? Um, and,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: and I had an interaction with um an industry friend.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: And I think this person was maybe just very overwhelmed
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: by the amount of people that were around, you know,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: and stuff, and uh this person came to me and
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: said like, hey, I'm I'm not that close to to
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: this industry friend, but
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: This person was like, Hey, um, did you see so
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: and so, or did you see this group of people?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: And I said, Oh, I'm not sure. I think they
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: might have, they might have left. Like one of them
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: said that she needed to go, so they might have left.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: And then this person looked quite distraught. She was like,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Oh man, like all my friends left already. Like, what
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: am I going to do? Then I just laughed. I chuckled.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I said, you can come like hang out with us
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: if you want. And then one of our other friends said, Yeah,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: we're not too bad of a second option. You can
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: hang out with us. Then we just laughed about it,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: you know, so we said, Yeah, you're welcome to stay.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: But I think this person really wanted to, to go off, right,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and in a way kept pressuring me to leave as
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: well because this person wanted to um have some company
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: to walk off, to walk down.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: They don't want
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: to leave alone, I think so. I think so, yeah.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Was it a case of
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: too early or I don't wanna be walking
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: out,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. So that's why I was trying,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I was trying to understand it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know whether it's an only child thing, but
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I'm very perfectly fine walking in by myself and walking
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: out alone, you see. So I don't really, I'm not
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: sure whether this is an only child thing. Let's unpack
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: this in a while. Are, are you the kind of
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: person that's OK to say
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Arrive at a party, a wedding, and events, and just
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: walk in yourself or leave yourself, or do you feel like, hey,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: I text my friend first, like, hey, meet me downstairs
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: at the lift, and we go out together?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: No, no, I'll walk in. I'm OK because I'm the party.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I'm the wedding.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: The silence is deafening. And I'm about to open up
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: phone lines and WhatsApp channels right now. 669-11987 or 90050987.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: In exchange for your stories and your experiences or your opinions,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: you're walking away with a dining experience at Mosila for
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: $2 worth $256. This is at the beautiful Pan Pacific
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Orchard Hotel.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: It's very hard
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to miss. I think once you're along the Orchard Road
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: or stretch, if you look to your left, it's right
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: there.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: You'll see it. Yeah, Claymore and that whole stretch, right? Yes,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: you will see it. And I think they've won some
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: architectural awards before, if I'm not wrong, or like design awards.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I'll be
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: very surprised if they haven't yet. They
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: did.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I did, yeah, I remember. Anyway, um, that's your reward,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: but what we want to open up phone lines for
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: today is, are you personally OK with, for example, walking
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: into a work function or a social function or family
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: gathering or something by yourself? Or are you the kind
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: that you need to text your trusted person and say like, hey,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: can you meet me downstairs? We go out together.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the, the amount of times I had to go
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: into the club on my own because all my friends late,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: wait outside
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: that's a very good.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Good example. I realized this when it comes to entering
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: a club, right, people always tend to want to wait
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: to get like wait for everyone to arrive. Then you
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: go in together, right? And I don't know whether it's
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: also because it's logistically easier or you just don't want
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: to walk in by yourself. Or
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: there is that visual of baddies just
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: show up.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Exactly, exactly. So I think it could be that as
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: well as compared
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to who's this random 38 year old man walking in Gomez.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: What's he doing here?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Look, if you see me alone in the club, it's
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: because my friends are late and I want to enjoy aircon.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: It's very hot outside, OK? Facts,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: facts. Yeah, so whatever your reason is, let us know. 669-11987.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Are you the kind that's totally OK walking into the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: club or a function or a work gathering by yourself,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: or do you need to link up with a friend first, preferably,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: and then you guys walk into.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Together, but I have my moments. I must say for
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: some media events, right, where you know when you walk
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: in they'll start to show you around and give you
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: a tour. I don't need those. Like I can see
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: for myself, but, but I know must do. That's why
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: if I'm showing up with Sonia, I'll wait for her,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and go in with her, and she will thank the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: entire small talk for
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: me.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: No wonder you wait for me. I'm your emotional support, Chihuahua.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: These kind of events that we are not hosting. Oh
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: my
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: God, no wonder that makes so much sense now. Give
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: us a call 669-11987. I mean, I wonder whether this
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: has got to do with being introverted or extroverted. I
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe, maybe a combination of things, right? Are
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: you OK rocking up to an event or a party
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: or the club or something by yourself, or do you
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: feel better if you link up with a friend first,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: then you walk in together?
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Or you leave together. Let us know, 669-11987. If you
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: have any funny stories, please share with us. If you
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: want to share about someone else, that's fine as well.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: In exchange, a dining experience for two at Marsila at
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Pan Pacific Orchard Hotel. OK, so we're talking about whether
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: or not when you go for maybe a function or
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: um going clubbing or a party or events or something,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: anything at all. Are you completely comfortable walking in and
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: out by yourself?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Or are you the kind of person that, hey, text
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: my friend first, want to meet at the lift, then
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: we go up together, you
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: know, for example, if we have a clubbing night and
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: my friends and I agree to meet at 11, I'll
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: be there at 10:50
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: because I'm
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: always
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: early
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: and everyone arrives at 11:30. Exactly.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: So at 11 when no one's there, I'll be like, Guys,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I go in first. Then I have my friends saying, Hey,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: wait for us lah, don't go in first. You know
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: how hot and humid.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Is it outside? Hello, I'm wearing a
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: shirt
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and pants and all that,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: unless you're waiting outside marquee's aircon. yeah, but I mean
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: it's in.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I want to go in and just get my drink
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and stay stand in one corner until my friends show up, OK,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: or at least, you know what, I go in and
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I scout out the place and I recky everything, find
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the best spots to stand, the best spot, OK, for example,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: animals coming to Singapore, right? It's going to be very
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: crowded 10th of October if we have.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Clubbing plans, I will go early to find a good
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: spot to stand and chop that spot for my friends
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to come and
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: show up.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Well, we are so opposite. It's like the shows. Yes,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I'm the friend that shows up, and I'll just go
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: with the flow. I'm like, OK lah, just find some
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: empty spot. I mean, I don't need to chop the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: spot or anything. Just, you know, weave in and find
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: a place that I'm comfortable with because
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: you
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: want to see the DJ and see the graphics and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: all that,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: but that's a situation. Yes, yeah. So, um, we're heading
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: to our messages first in any sort of situation.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: It doesn't necessarily mean it's coming. It could be anything
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: at all, a party or a work gathering. Do you
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: need to link up with a friend first and walk
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: in together, walk out together, or are you OK showing
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: up and leaving
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: yourself?
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Jay texting us on WhatsApp saying, Morning Sojo. I'm not
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: the only child, but I'm, but I literally grew up
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: being alone. I have no issue going or living anywhere alone.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: It's probably an introvert thing. I even go to concerts
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: alone and enjoy it. Like,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: yeah. Hey, you guys should link up.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, I, I am mostly that kind of
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: person too. Like I can eat by myself or like
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: go in and out by myself, but my preference when
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: it comes to traveling and concerts is to experience it
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: with someone because I'm the kind that's very verbal. Like
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I need to talk about the experience or live
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: commentary. Yeah, exactly. I want to say good morning to
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: John who says, I'm absolutely fine to walk into restaurants, bars,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: or conventions first and wait for the rest as it's
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: too hot outside. Might as well get some.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Aircon and a drink while waiting unless the venues dictate
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: that all must be present before going in like some restaurants,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: for example, yes, you're not wrong. Oh, it feels like
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I'm talking to my partner when I read that message.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Jeremy, Jeremy, is it?
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: No, you me sorry, as in this reminded me of you.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: What? Sorry, you said, I just thought straight away. Keep
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the calls coming in at 669-11987 or you can WhatsApp
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: us at 90050987. Again, what awaits today's winner, a very
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: nice dining experience to Marcela worth $256.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, so lovely. Keep your calls coming through once again.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Phone lines are open. We are back to more messages
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: here today.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Are you the kind of person that will need to
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: link up with someone, a friend or a trusted person
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: or colleague before you walk into a party or an
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: event or function, or are you OK with just walking
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: in and out by yourself?
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Go read a text from Derek.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Why do I sense that it's exactly what you relate to?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: You are absolutely right.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: This sounds like it have come from me. Hello guys,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: for me, I
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I actually love going to social events or clubs alone first,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and I treat it like reconnaissance. Sometimes I'm the scout.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Go in first, survey the crowd, spot my friend's type,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: chit chat a bit, then feed him the intel so
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: he knows how to enter. Other times I'm the one
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: who needs help, and he will stay on standby until
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I text wingman required, then swoop in. I recently got
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: together with someone though, and I'm planning to confess this
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: whole system to her over dinner this weekend.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Figured if we're going to progress better, no funny secrets
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: between us. Hopefully she finds it funny and not alarming.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Fingers
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: crossed. Oh man, dude, I'm so invested
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: now. OK lah, I wouldn't use it for a girl
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: that I want to meet, but I'll use it for
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: the crowd. Like I'll, I'll tell my friends, hey, who's here,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: who's there, you know, be careful, this part is very
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: crowded or the section very crowded.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Watch your step. This is just a personality thing, is it?
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Because I'm very like, I can just go in blind,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: like I don't know anything. I just show up.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I know. I think this
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: says a lot about people's personalities. OK, so you, you are,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: you overthink sometimes. I'm just trying to be nice.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: And I think, OK, for you, you are the sort
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: that if I'm reading this writer, you need to be
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: prepared for everything. So for example, even if it's traveling,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: if it's a date or something, maybe you're bringing your
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: mom out, you need to plan the day and you
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: need to know what's going to happen next. That is
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: your character personality.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Yes,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: for me, I don't need to know what happens next.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Just surprised me.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: can learn from each other. One more coming in from Marilyn. Hello, Marilyn. Morning, Sojo.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I'm totally comfortable with walking into an event by myself
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: and leaving by myself. I don't really understand people that
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: can't do it, like even going to the toilet. It's
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: usually the girls that has this shyness and need company.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Sometimes accompany my friends too much too I already know
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: where's the toilet in any mall.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Can I say this, this, this was a bit of
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: a culture shock thing for me in secondary school.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Because I was from a, from a boys' school, right,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: going into a mixed school, and then whenever it's toilet break,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you'll see the girls going to check, can we go
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: to toilet? I was like, Boy, you all must go together.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Go go alone lah. And this is where the phrase,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: ah yeah, I don't know one
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: 100%, 100%.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: No, but, um, the funny thing is sometimes for my
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: friends and I, when we're out having lunch and stuff,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I will excuse myself to the toilet, right, and when
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I immediately go like, hey guys, like I'm just gonna
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: go to the restroom first, they will all look at
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: me with the all-knowing face. They were like, 2,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: right?
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Because I never asked anyone. There we go. Like, anyone
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: want to go to toilet? Anyone want to go? No,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: we never ask.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: sharing.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Hey, no one asked, but you know this show has
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: become an extension of our personality.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: So you're welcome. Um, now talking about whether or not
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: you're the kind of person that is completely comfortable walking
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: in and out of a social gathering or event or
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: something by yourself, or do you find yourself often like
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: texting friends or friends are texting you saying, hey, can
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: we meet downstairs so then we go out
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: together?
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I want to read you a lengthy text from Xiao Y. Hello,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Xiao Yan. People label me as extrovert and party animal,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: but they don't see how I'm always accompanied.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: By someone and always cling to someone during social events.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: One evening though, my friend Spanang said me at the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: very last minute during a ladies' night at a club.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I froze at the entrance for quite a while, undecided
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: what to do, and this female stranger took notice. She said,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Let me guess, your friend stood you up, right? Oh no,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and you don't know what to do now. I was
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: shocked at how she got it right immediately. She laughed
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: and said it's because that happens to her every other week.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: She invited me to join her and her friends, and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I decided to just YOLO and socialize on my own.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: It was way more fun than I expected. I got
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: to know people in the same line of work, and
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: we even explored possibilities of future collaborations, but the most
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: memorable and daring thing I did was to flirt with
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the super cute bartender with the tips and gardens from
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: my new friends. Very proud to say I nailed it.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Got us 2 rounds of drinks and his number as well.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Hang on, I'm married to someone else now. Oh, and
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: as I type this, I do cheekily wonder how things
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: might have been if I had followed up on the
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: number I received. Hope my hubby isn't hearing this.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: What
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: a great story, dude. What a great story. Yeah,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: thank you for sharing. That's an itch you'll never scratch.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Leave it alone.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: But you know, it's, it's, it's very normal. I mean, look,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: like the moment.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: This could be a topic for another day, right? But
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: the moment you are locked in with someone and you've,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: you've been in a relationship for a long time, it
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean that there's not going to be other interactions
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: where you get curious about, you know. No,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it's, it's, this
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: is human nature,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: but, but it is a choice that you decide, OK,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: but no, this is my person at the end of
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: the day, you know what I mean? Yeah, this is
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: how I see it. I mean, we're only human.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: When you are going to notice attractive people out there
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: in the course of your life.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I have so many questions right now that will definitely
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: branch's topic. So we can do
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: it.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Down to our last few messages, a very text-heavy one
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: here today. Are you the kind of person that, you know,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: you need to link up with someone, a trusted friend
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: or your bestie, before you walk into a function or
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: a club or a party, or are you perfectly OK
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: going in and out?
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: On your own, OK.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: One text coming in from Xavier, who says this morning guys.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely the type who will text someone, Hey, are
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: you downstairs already? Wait for me. We go in together.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I used to think I was perfectly fine walking into
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: these things alone until one family gathering where I arrived
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: by myself, opened the door, and everyone was already seated
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: in their own little groups talking and laughing.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I knew almost everyone there, but somehow in that few seconds,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I felt like I belonged nowhere. So I just stood
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: there pretending to check my phone until one cousin noticed me,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: came over and said, Why are you standing here alone?
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I was waiting for you. That sentence was so small,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: but I still remember the relief.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Well, um, I think you were talking about Nigel, right? Yes,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: if I'm not wrong.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: If I'm not wrong, if I'm not wrong. OK, OK,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: OK. Wrong, wrong, my bad, my
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: bad. No worries, no worries. I was a little confused too.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: But anyway, um, more of your messages coming through as well.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Only one person can walk away with this incredible prize
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: and this, by the way, was the final chance for
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: you to win.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: And we'd love for you to check out Mosella.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing that I'm not alone when it
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: comes to going into a venue to scout out the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: entire area or to see what the vibe is like,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: then report to my friends. I, I feel like I'll
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: make a very good scout, to be honest with you. Yeah,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised that you were not in scouts in the
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: past in school.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Sounds like something you would
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: take.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I think they do different things compared to the army scout.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, but it's, it's a preparation, I think, of course,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: when you're a kid, they're not gonna force you to
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: do the same thing as army it's different, but there's
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: some prep course, I think
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: a very
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: good reconnaissance guy, but anyway, I think.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Can you stop?
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Sorry, just trying to be part of the conversation. What
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: was that?
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: But I want to give today's prize to a very
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: entertaining text we received earlier. Xiao
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Yen,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: congratulations.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: This is for you. You're heading down to Pan Pacific
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Orchard Hotel Marilla, embracing the Mediterranean culture of sharing communal dining,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: and they've got a beautiful new daily a la carte menu,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: excluding their Saturday brunch, which is very popular. I've been
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: there before, and you can enjoy things.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Like their tapas and also their platters of charcoal grilled
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: meats and more. Um, discover their Saturday brunch as well
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: and follow them Pan Pacific Orchard on Instagram. It's time
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: for some yummy food news.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: OK, 123. Food news, news. Sonia with the good food news.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Give it to us, Ms. Chuw. What we got? OK,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: so let me roll my chair closer to the mic. Sorry.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: I tried to, you know, ever since I injured my ankle,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: I need to.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Like sit in a certain angle all the time. So yeah,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: you've seen me in the studio. Anyway, there's a cool
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: new spot somewhere in town for people who love bread,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: and I love hoopan. I don't know if you like
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: hoppan as well. I don't think I've ever seen you
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: have one I'm sure I've tried it without even knowing
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: it's called, but yeah, it's like, um,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: like Japanese style, quite fluffy bread, you know, um, so pan, hokupan,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: all that like quite similar, like milk bread, um, salt
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: bread and all that, very, very, very tasty.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: This cool new spot, I unknowingly actually walked past it
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: and I noticed it because the aesthetic of the shop
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: outside is very pretty, but I wonder when I saw it,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was open just yet, and I
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: was curious about it because I was like, oh, I'm
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: looking for new coffee places all the time, right? This
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: is over at Claymore Drive. Um, it's a, it's a
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: spot called Cloud Mills, a modern Japanese influenced bakery.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Um, and they own other popular brunch cafes. I think
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: there's Cloud Fields in Outram, and, uh, MasterChef Singapore season
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: one runner-up, Genevieve Lee, um, was actually engaged as a
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: consultant to develop the bakes over here. So, fun, fun fact,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: they actually use a binchotan, which is like a charcoal grill,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: white charcoal grill, to prepare some of the proteins like unagi, sausages.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: They use that as fillings.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Into their hokupan.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the exterior of this place.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: It's
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: so pretty. Instagram worthy or
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: very pretty, very, very pretty. Um, so they're taking what
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: they call a restaurant approach to their savory bakes. So
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: it's more of like artisanal, more than just like, oh,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I tapao and go kind of situation. They really want
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: you to enjoy it, you know. So imagine enjoying like
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: charcoal grilled seafood and meat on your xiopan or your
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: hokupan like.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: And it looks so beautiful as well. I'm pretty sure
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: they will be packed out.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: The pork belly looks very good.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, super good,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: right? In the pictures at
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: least. Um, well, the people behind Cloud Mills Bakery, they're
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: also opening a new eatery called AO under, I think
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: it's a Japanese inspired sharing plates, if I'm not wrong. Meantime,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Cloud Mills is located at level one at one Claymore Drive.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: And they're open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 7:30 or
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: until they sell out.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna cut my hair over at the
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Orchard
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: area.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: It's quite near, right? Perfect. Yeah, exactly. Coming up in
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: just a bit, Jo and I were just discussing about
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: this off-air actually.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Um, and you know, both of us are dog lovers
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: for sure. Joe, I, I, I feel eventually we will
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: want to get a Goldie, Goldie or adopt a dog,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: just any dog.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: We'll see which one fits me
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: better. To be honest,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I saw a few dogs up for adoption that I
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: was very tempted to, to go for
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: to give Maxi a sibling. Well,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: technically she doesn't live with me, right? Yeah, but you know.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: You know, a germ spoke to me and said like, dude,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: we're like barely at home. How do you think we're gonna,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: and I said, yeah, you know, either you get a
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: dog and it really shapes your scheduling, you know, or
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: you have to fit it, right, for sure.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Well done
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: to you and Jeremy for admitting, we're not a lot
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: we love dogs now is not the time.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: It's not. Maybe in a couple of years or something, but.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Um, a story coming through that happened here in Singapore,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: that's a gentle reminder that we really need to be
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: more responsible as dog owners. OK,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: OK. OK.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: This happened two years ago, I think over at the Senate.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Drive area. Do you know where that is Senate
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Road? Not exactly. Is it a private, um, like what
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: GCB area
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: or somewhere in Bedok.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: OK. OK.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: So a Singaporean couple was fined after their four unlicensed dogs.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Let me give you the breed. OK. Cane Corsos
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: fierce.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: And Rottweilers,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: fierce. Weren't you the one that said you want to
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: call a Rottweiler
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: fluffy? Fluffy, like the fiercest looking dog. Yeah,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: so all
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: four dogs were able to escape through a faulty gate
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: and attack a Labrador.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: And and and a helper who was walking the Labrador,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I think was badly injured. Uh, so the Labrador, the
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Labrador had to actually get almost $3360 worth of treatment
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: while the helper went to go see a doctor as
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: well just to make sure that she's OK, no cuts
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: or whatsoever.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: She
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: had a cut. She had a cut, yeah. I
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: mean like minor injuries, thankfully nothing serious, but I think
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: the Labrador tanked the whole thing, which shouldn't be the case.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the wife was fined $3100 and the husband
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: was fined $5400 with the wife also ordered to pay
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: $4000 towards the victim's dog's medical costs. Yeah,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: but aside from that, I, I don't need an additional
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: license or something and I don't recall seeing.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure whether you can own so many of
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: these types of
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: dogs.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: So yes, you are also exceed the numbers and more
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: than one restricted breed dog without approval.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm wondering whether there is a wider or
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: bigger story this why do they have so many of
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: these dogs?
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Always check everything before you own a dog here in Singapore,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: any pet for that matter and yeah, please, uh, especially
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: at the parks.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: As a jogger, I love dogs, but some dogs aren't
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: as disciplined as the other one. They might start chasing me,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: barking at me for no reason,
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: which is why I always say like it's been a
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: very eye-opening experience, like, especially watching my, my mom, for example, she's, um,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: had to train herself to be able to care for
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Maxi as well, and through that process, we learned it's
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: not just about.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: The dog for dog training. It's about training the humans
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: as well, you know. Did you send Maxi to dog school? Yeah, yeah. OK.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: So because she's a, we adopted her, right? So she
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: isn't like, we didn't have her from puppy. So she
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: had a quite an unfortunate life for most part of it,
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: and she didn't know how to walk on a leash.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: She didn't know how to like pee or poo on
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: like the pee pad, like she doesn't understand that concept,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: And just like even going for food, for example, like cues,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: like how you tell her like, OK, you can eat now,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: that kind of thing, or don't eat too fast, we
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: had to get her a slow feeder. Like there's so
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: much effort that goes into especially raising a dog who
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: has had trauma. Yeah.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: And did she pass with flying colors
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: passed with flying
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: colors.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: My mom also passed with flying colors.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Because the owner also has to go through some tests. Yeah,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I think that's so important, by the way
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: to stay calm, to be firm but
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: loving, to understand what the dog's trying to say, you know,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: with these gestures.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: No wonder they
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: say before you have a baby, a dog first and
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: see what you'll be training,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, yeah, it's very good training. Anyway, um, to
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: all dog owners out there, give your fluffy friend a
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: little kiss and a hug this morning for some good energy.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: If it's a
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Goldie, give it a title on my behalf.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: you squeeze. I want to squeeze
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: hard. Can you calm down? It's a small dog.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: She's not that small. She's like 10
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: kg. It's gonna be some weekend for us here in Singapore.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: How about starting it off tonight over at the Esplanade
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Riverfront Stage for 987 Indigo's Fresh Music Live. We got Phyllis, Icebox, Alicia, DC,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: and this festival headlined by Cesari, and then tomorrow myself
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: and Louisa broadcasting.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Live from Adidas Brand Center Orchard right in front of
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: the store from 12 to 2. And then on Sunday,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: we're doing it and that's where the big guns are coming.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Fred Vesty. Oh, OK, so
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: the actual thing is on Sunday and Baby
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Monster and I'll be hosting the festival that happens from
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: 6 to 9, the one starring the likes of Iman Fundy,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Benjamin King, and DJ Kiara. And if I'm not wrong,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I think, uh, April Kim will be there to help
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: me speak to Baby Monster in person.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: We are all gearing up towards the F1 season here
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: in Singapore already. I mean, you know, every single year, right,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: around this time, you start noticing all the construction and
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: the fencing going up already on the roads. You, you
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: know it's time. Um, the funny thing was like when
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I was in Monaco, right, it looks exactly the same
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: as Singapore. So the thing is, because it's a street
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: circuit also, it was very surreal to see how other
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: countries did the setup compared to here in Singapore. And
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: I have to say,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: The way that they did it, the efficiency and how they,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: you know, planned the circuit is so similar. It's really
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: nice to see. So if you are really excited for
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: the F1 season here in Singapore, the countdown begins.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: So can you help me for a while? Yeah, OK,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: so let's just say it's baby monster, right? Right. And
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: given how they're all still very young, but, but I'm
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: a fan, and I've always said this, I feel like
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: the one in my opinion with the most potential is Chiquita. OK,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: she's cool. She's 17 this year.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna practice one line with you and tell me
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: whether do I sound creepy or not because I'm 38,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: she's 17. So, hey, Chiquita, you know what, I'm a fan.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I wish you all the best in your career. You're
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: gonna go far. No, that sounds OK. Thank you. OK, good.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: I'm safe tomorrow just in case. Why would that sound weird?
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: As long as no one takes it out of context,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I don't think there
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: was any that was purely just from a professional standpoint.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: I think you're overthinking it.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know I could be. I could
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: be overthinking it.
