• 1:05
  Speaker 1: know why.
• 1:06

• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Sons, both of us have been there since Mbappe's start
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of his international career for France in 2018. 0, so
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: this is something I expect you to know.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: was just
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: clarifying, OK, I mean, I, I knew that. Just checking

  Speaker 1: team does he play for?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: International
• 2:00

  Speaker 1: Portugal? tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: tonight, basically

  Speaker 2: this is the night that you're not gonna get sleep,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: right? 4
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a.m. it's England.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: So wait, so now you have to, I guess for
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: certain days you have to try to shift your body
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: clock a bit, a little bit, get a block of
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: sleep in the daytime. So
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I'm
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: going to attempt to sleep at 5 p.m. today.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: What? OK, because what one block is it? So 5
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to 5, then you wake up at midnight.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: 12 midnight, shower and get ready for work. And then
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: from 1 to 5:30 catch football and then take a
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: grab
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: here. So then, then the next day's body clock will
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: mess up also. So you have to repeat the same.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: thankfully it's a Friday,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the next day, OK, OK.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: This is how I'm planning,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: yeah, I see, I see the plan.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, so at 9 a.m. we have
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Lionel Messi playing today. Which country does he play for?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Uh, I want to say Argentina.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Please say it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Is it
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Argentina? You got the two basic questions correct.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Satisfy your breakfast craving right now, just like Joakim and I,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: we just ordered some food.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: You're actually quite a bad influence, you know, I have
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: not been ordering anything while you were away.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, it's my 2nd day back at work with
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to reward
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: yourself. Just
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: feeling
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit hungry.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: OK,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not complaining. Hey, you want to order, Max? I'm
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: not
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: complaining. OK,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: call me a bad influence.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Hey, sometimes you ask me to tell you not to order.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when I'm here.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: On a regular basis.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: So you're not here on a regular basis.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So if I order it tomorrow, scold
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: me. Oh, OK,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: so it cannot be consecutively.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So today is like a one time only for a while.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: My
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: job very difficult.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: No, it isn't.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: My job is very hard. No, I have to be
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: his co-host, his nutritionist, his friend that helps him to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: control his diet.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: My therapist therapist.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Um, speaking of food and what you might be craving
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: this morning, um, it could be this Michelin listed Redhill
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: pork porridge, which is very famous, OK. I don't know
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: because I don't live around Redhill area.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: But I've seen pictures of it and the queues and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: everything and they've got the Michelin guide stickers on their
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: stall as well, OK.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: So when
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you say Michelin guide, it means is it in?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Um, OK, so it's listed in the Michelin guide, meaning
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: that I, I'm not sure whether that constitutes to you
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: having a star, but you are, you are highly
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: recommended. So if you buy the Michelin Guide Singapore book,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it's
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: in there. It's in there.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But not in the bibman section, just like a recommended section.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I, I'm not the best person to ask
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: about this because it could be same or different. I'm
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: not sure. Yeah, um, but anyway, what's happening is this particular, um,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Michelin listed Red Hill Pork Porridge decided to move to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: another unit in within, within the same, uh, hawker center. OK.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: So I guess for whatever reason, lah, maybe, you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: they wanted a different spot, maybe it's a better spot, OK.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Um, and in replacement of its old units, guess what opens?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Another porridge stall also called Red Hill Pork Porridge. So
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a stall of the same name, just with a different logo,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I guess, opened in the same unit as the Michelin
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: listed pork porridge.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: This reminds me of the Yankee. Yes,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: exactly.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say that across the street.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, but nobody
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: realized.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And for people in the east side is the Eng's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Noodle house, the wanton me,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: right, yeah, exactly. So now people are.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Confused and I think the worry is, in fact, the,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the owners didn't say anything, but I, I'm, I putting in,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: putting in my, in their shoes. I'm concerned that people
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: might go to the other pork porridge and think that
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: it's the original. So now I don't know how they're
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: going to solve this aside from like a Google listing,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I guess, or clarification on socials, but I guess now
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that it's been posted on a lot of news outlets,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: maybe you'll help them.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Did they not copyright the name? That's my
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: question.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think you.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you can because anyone can say,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: for example, Siglap Mee siam or I'm just anyhow throwing
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it out there, there's no such thing, but and then
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: someone else wants to open a mee siam shop that's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in Siglap and also call it Siglap Mee Siam. I mean,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: is it copyrighted? OK,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: for example, if I, I think I will copyright my
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: name so nobody can copy it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Unless you tell me you're gonna open a shop and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: call it Mee Siam
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Siglap, you can't stop people from doing that. Mee
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Siglap and Slap la because this is word for word, right?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: But
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you see, the thing is, I'm just curious how much
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: of the business they might chip away at. They might
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: take some business for sure.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: For people who have no idea what happened,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: this
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: is one of those you can't convince,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: and take a take a piece of the pie of
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the person, you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you've been warned.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: You know, you know, you know what's up. So yeah,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: time for us to go and give it a try anyway.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Too far from our office actually.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Which
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: one are we going to?
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Try both.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: You
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: order one, I order one. OK. Alright, Miss Astrology, astronomy,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Sonia Chew,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: here we go.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: What does it mean? Because yesterday around 7:45 p.m.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: If you're in an area here in Singapore that gave
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you clear skies, you were able to see Venus, Jupiter, Mercury,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and the moon. They're all just hanging out in a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: very nice arc, OK, and you were also able to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: see Castor and Pollux,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the two people,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: hang, hang on, the two brightest stars in the constellation
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of Gemini.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Guess
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: beyond my expertise.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Hello, so you're a Capricorn girly. You proudly proclaim it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: You always give
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: me the meanings and all that. It doesn't mean I
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: know anything about horoscopes. So
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: based on your expertise,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: firstly, yes,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: let's start with part
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: A. OK. What
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: does it mean that Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and the moon
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: are in an arc?
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: This means, right, something is in retrograde.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Someone is gonna be moody today, um, someone is gonna
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: have a revelation today, and someone is gonna have a
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: great week.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Please don't hire me.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You are
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the worst funfare fortune teller ever, you know, OK. I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: never going to your tent to get my fortune read.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I only charge $1 for reading, OK. I mean, this
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: is what you get. Can can you CDC voucher? You
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: OK, so let's go to Part B. So Castor and Pollux,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the two brightest stars in the Gemini constellation. It's
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: us up there.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: The two brightest stars.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Um, I guess, you know, one thing's for sure, it's
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Gemini season. Is
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: it? Oh yeah, it
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: is. It is Gemini. Um, it sounds like a good omen.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, regardless, OK, you know what, let me clarify now.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I say it's a good omen, right?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Oh no.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Hold on again, can you say um what
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Castor and Pollux, the two brightest stars.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: My last search on Chat GBT was because of you
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: about gastroenteritis.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Yo, OK, hold on.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: That's also a bright star
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: if you think about it for Castor and Pollux,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the two brightest stars in Gemini.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: OK, come on. What does it mean?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: they appeared, is
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: it? Yes, they appeared.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Gemini appearing, appearing to us. Oh,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: by the way. What
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: does it
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: mean?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: OK, here we go, here we go, here we go.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: If you're asking what it means when Castor and Pollux
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: appear prominently in the sky, the answer depends on whether
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: you mean astronomy or astrology, which is right. OK, so
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming that you are asking about
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Um, mythology, like in Greek mythology,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: astrology.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: OK. Can you, don't be so mean. OK. Um, some
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: astrologers view Castor and Pollux as representing duality, intellect and action,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: mortality and immortality are two sides of human nature. They're
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: interpreted symbolically rather than scientifically. They didn't give me an answer.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that, that, that's a whole lot of nothing.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: OK, so I said OK, so means what?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: This is how not to use chat GPT 101. Let's
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: associates with loyalty, journeys and the idea that two different
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: qualities can coexist at the same time like strength and gentleness. Well,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: it's really.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I told you it's us in the form of stars. We,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: we appeared to our people. Brotherhood and loyalty. There we go.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Right after 7 a.m., you know, earlier on we were
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: talking about what the, what the appearance of the stars
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: in the sky mean and all that in astrology and astronomy,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: right?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: As well and planets, Jupiter, Mercury and the moon.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that sounds like some good omen for sure. Um,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: but coming up in just a little bit, despite us
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: talking about loyalty, brotherhood, because that's apparently what it means,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: you know, in, in, in the stars, um, this next
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: story is going to give you some major trust issues, Joakim.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: And I'm looking at you because uh between the two
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: of us, and I say this in a very friendly manner,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: you definitely place more bets than me when it comes
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: to the world of lottery, right?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And we're not encouraging gambling, but between the two of us,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I think you're more savvy with it. In fact, I
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: always miss the opportunity. OK,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: OK. Put it out there when it comes to 40
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and total, yes, once in a while got fields fields.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: But for this World Cup, I've only placed 2 and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: 2
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: only. I never asked you. I never ask. I'm just
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: saying between the two of us, you're more familiar with it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Say first
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: before
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: you ask, OK. That's why I put.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Disclaimer out there, we're not encouraging gambling. OK. But once again,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: like I said, a story that will give you trust issues. OK.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Up right now, a story that will definitely allow you
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: to question loyalty, and you have trust issues after this. OK.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: OK. Somehow this year, right, I, I feel the biggest
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Netflix potential story about brotherhood.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Loyalty and trust. It's the Singh brothers from Thailand. Oh,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: uh, that one is a lot to unpack, man. That
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: is really
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: if anybody wants to make a movie, there's money right there. I,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure something is underway already.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Does this involve them?
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, it's not. However, it's also in Thailand. Strangely,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: strangely, what's happening in the land of smiles? Here's the,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: here's
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the thing, um, you know, I'm sure you've.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: visualize the day that you strike 40 or lottery or something, right?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Or maybe not visualize, but you.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, imagined this. The visualization is there, but the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: execution and don't know. Yeah,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: so this one, it may happen to like one in
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: a million people, right, when, you know, you win something big. So, uh,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: for this particular man, for this particular person over in Thailand.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Um, they betted on like lottery tickets on those like numbers,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I guess they're equivalent of total or something. So both
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: them and their neighbor actually wanted to check the results together, OK.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: So they were at the neighbor's house.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: And they actually looked very closely at the winning numbers
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: and turns out one of them actually won.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: She,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: she's like, oh my gosh, like I, I won, I
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: this is won the top prize, which is 6 million baht. That, um,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that becomes $236,000 Singapore dollars. That's
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: still a lot of money.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Money. It's a lot. Actually, I want to clarify something.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: In Singapore, the top price, it's dependent on how much
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: you bet on it, is it? Or how, how does
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: that happen?
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: How much the pool.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the pot, yeah. So for example, if one is
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: 1 million, nobody wins that. The next draw could be
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: 3 million, right? OK.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: So when the winning, the, the lady with the winning
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: ticket was very happy, the neighbor congratulated her saying like,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: oh no, congrats, son.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: And guess what the neighbor suggested? She said, hey, um,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: why don't you leave your winning ticket here for safekeeping?
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Like I can safeguard it.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Why? Um, because I guess they're close and they're neighbors
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: for a long time, I guess. So, um, they suggested,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: you know, um, just leave it here, we'll safeguard it
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: so that we can, you know, you can collect it
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the next day. No, no, no. Apparently, she said, OK,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: she literally left it there because out of trust, I mean,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: it's maybe their best friend, you know, I'm waiting for
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: that clarification.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: When, um, her name is Sayan, returned the next day
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: to collect the tickets, the neighbor's story completely changed, saying, huh, I,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know where is the ticket. And then secondly, oh,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I think maybe you didn't win lah. I think the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: digit was wrong. Yeah, one digit was wrong. So, obviously,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: she went to make a police report, a police report
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: about this whole thing because, I mean, how can you
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: otherwise claim over 200,000, right? So, um, it was investigated
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: and they actually questioned the neighbor about what happened. Eventually,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the neighbor admitted that.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: They were, you know, um, being deceitful and actually burned
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: the winning ticket. Yeah, because they were worried that or
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: they heard that a police report was made, so they
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: burned the winning ticket to try and hide their, hide
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: their crimes. So now the question is, is the lady
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: able to claim her winning ticket eventually?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: If she has proof that maybe the ticket was hers,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: like a picture she took on her phone or she
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: has a picture her holding the ticket and they can
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: prove it's not manipulated by
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: AI
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: or can the person who was working at the lottery
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: ticket store, I'm guessing because it's a physical ticket, she
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: went down there, do you think someone can clarify she
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: was there, CCTV something?
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Very tough.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: This one is really,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: really quite hard because if her case goes through, who's
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: to stop the hundreds after
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: they
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: will
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: say like, oh, my ticket was destroyed, but I'm the
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: actual winner. But neither the police nor the lottery office,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the official government lottery office organization have confirmed whether the
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: prize can still be claimed.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: So we're still waiting. It's an open-ended situation right now,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: but does this give you trust issues or what, man? It's,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: it's the person that you have, um, known for so
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: long and it's your neighbor, your really close friend, and
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: they do this to you. I,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: don't know why, but when you share with me about
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: how the lady trusted her neighbor and gullibly gave him
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the winning ticket, I thought of
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: you. What?
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: But I trust you, I don't think you would do that.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: OK, firstly, if you win the lottery, you keep your
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: own ticket. I'm not gonna ask you to give it
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, please don't. Yeah,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: yeah, this one police case immediately.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But if I were to have asked you to pass
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: me your ticket for
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: safekeeping,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: right? No, I, I look at your face and Sonia,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: my vault here is very safe. Your
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: vault. You have a vault in your house.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I mean just
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: dramatizing.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: No,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: not to gloat about Bishan, but Bishan Ridges, the brand
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: new BTO,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: OK, yes,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I think it has TOP.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: OK,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: so there are loads of people moving in now. Oh,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: so fast. The scaffolding is slowly coming down, and I'm
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: seeing some lights turned on in the new flat.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I would think perhaps they're in the renovation phase now.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Most people will go there and start to inspect and
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: see what they want to do, right? Some are actually done.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: They're done with the renovation
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: because they open it block by
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: block.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, OK. So the moment they got the keys, they're like, OK,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: we immediately start, right?
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: And then I have a few friends who are moving
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: in and some of them are sharing very interesting CCTV
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: footages on their Instagram stories, right, of their other neighbors
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: just look.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Or
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: like observing, is it? OK,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: seeing
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: how they're renovating.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: OK, here's the thing, that's why when my, when my apartment, right, OK,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: it was about like COVID time, so things got delayed
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: and all that. Um, so immediately when they gave the
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: green light, people started moving in, right? But I had, uh,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: some friends. I knew one or two people that stayed,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: stayed there previously.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: That said, actually not the best idea to move in
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: now because everyone is doing it. There's so much noise,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: there's dust every day, there's trucks and lorries coming in
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: with furniture and all that stuff, so you, you might
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: want to be strategic about it
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: to the point where even on some of the, right,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: they put a
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: For your rituals, if it involves throwing salt in the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: door and all that, please at the door, yeah, I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: think to ward off evil spirits and all that. I
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: never knew that. Yeah, avoid like pouring water on it
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: because it might damage the works and the material, something
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: like that, yeah,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: do that when I moved. I rolled a pineapple. Apparently
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to look, my parents didn't even know what
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: that meant because they're not
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: very
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: superstitious
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: in your house, where's the most hot spot, the toilet?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: You're kidding,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: really.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: That's why we were laughing so hard about it. I
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: even took a photo. I'll find it. I took a
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: picture of it. It landed right outside my toilet door. OK.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: When we come back
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: though,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: inspired by all the reno that's happening, here's a renovation
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: nightmare story.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Oh
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: no. Thankfully not happened in Singapore as of yet, and
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I pray it does not happen to anyone. I'll take
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: you to Jiangsu.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: To China,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: in
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: just
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: a bit. Alright, well, we, we do want to
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: know. By the way, this just in Norway 3, Iraq 1.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: So how much time left? They
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: have about maybe say 19 minutes of
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: play left.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: 19. OK, a lot could happen in 19 minutes.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: It'll be a miracle.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I'm just stirring the pot. I don't know what's going on.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Iraq
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: equalizes, but anyway, gonna take you to Jiangsu, China right now,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: where this renovation nightmare story, I hope it does not
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: happen to any of you here in Singapore, OK? Imagine this,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: yeah, OK.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You just bought a new BTO. Renovations are
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: complete.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: You must be really excited to move in.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: You want to move in, right?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: The day you go and check your house, suddenly you realize, hey,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: what happened to my renovation, it's all demolished, huh? So,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: what do you mean? A contractor in China.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Him and his workers were supposed to go and do
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: renovation works to unit 403 in an apartment flat. They
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: went to unit 303.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Where for unit 303, the renovations were done already. All finished.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: So how? Yeah, did 303 belong to someone else? Yes,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: it did, and nobody went to check on that. They
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: didn't check on the progress
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: or something. So I think maybe what unit 303, what
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: happened for unit 303 was the renovations were done, but
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: they were still using the padlock or it's not officially locked,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So anybody could still walk
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: in and out. So the contractor and his workers went, Oh, OK, well,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: this house is quite new, let's demolish everything and start
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: our renovation works.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: That is insane.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: So when the owner came back to the flat, he
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: realized what in the world happened?
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: so he called the police and went to court and
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the judge has ordered the workers and the contractor to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: split the compensation amount.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It would be classified as negligence or something, right? You
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: failed to
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: check. But, but
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: here's my question, OK. If you are the contractor and
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the workers and you step into a unit that looks
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: freshly renovated,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: like why would you even do that, right? What would
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: you
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: ask questions
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: first,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're that confident.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: So, yes, this is a renovation nightmare story that I
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: hope does not happen to anybody here in Singapore, and
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a reminder to please buy the bicycle lock
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: only a combination,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: yeah,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and only tell your interior designer or contractor what the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: passcode is.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, um, I mean, likewise, I think.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Even if you have like a digital lock already, let's
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: say your house is pretty new and they've got a
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: digital lock installed, you can actually um have an option
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: where you put a passcode just for these people that
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: are coming in and out, but they will not know
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: your real password which you will have after
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: that.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And most importantly, and this is quite prominent here in Singapore,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: if you are that.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: It's trespassing, OK, if the construction workers or the contractors
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: are doing work inside the house and
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: if they go and look and
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you still go and walk in and capo, it's
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: trespassing.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Um, here's a tip, get a CCTV with audio functions
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: on Shopee. It's only like $30 or something. You can
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: talk to them.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Literally I've done it before. Like there were a couple
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: of times some suspicious looking people were outside. Maybe they're
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: just looking at, I don't know what they were looking at,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: to be honest. They're just caps, but they don't own
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the fact. You cannot go
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: in. Yeah, there was once I actually saw it on my, uh,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: on my app. So I, I turned on the mic
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: and say, Hi, can I help you? And that person
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: got a shock.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I was like, any, anything I can help you with? No, no, no,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: all good. Sorry, sorry, sorry, nothing, nothing to
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: copy your ideas and steal the inspiration.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: You can't see anything from there. You can't see anything.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're looking at my shoes or that I left outside,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: to be fair, I left a lot of shoes outside.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Our
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: neighbors feet are very small.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: It's not that, OK, it's feet. I have a question
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: for you today, which I have a feeling I know
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: the answer to already. You being joking. I, I kind of, yes, you, you, you,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I kind of know your answer, but
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Um, for the sake of our listeners and maybe new
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: listeners who have never tuned in before,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: let's
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: make it fun, OK? You ask me the question, then
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: you tell people what my answer would be. OK.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Um, my question was, are you or would you consider
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: yourself a creature of habits when it comes to not
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: just going to the same restaurants, but ordering the same thing?
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: And my answer is yes, you are.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: You know me so well, like if we go to
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: any restaurants that we usually hit up together, I think
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I can just order on his behalf. Thank you. I
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: feel like I already know what you're
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: gonna order.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I make it so easy
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: for anyone.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: And the thing is, it hardly ever changes. I don't
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: think I've ever seen you order like something else from
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: a particular restaurant. Let's say we go.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: In tai fog or something, OK, I mean, you roughly
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: order the same things which is time the xiao
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: chai, the xiaolongbao, spinach, nai pai, fried rice, spinach,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: exactly done easy.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: And sometimes if I'm very hungryurous, the oriental wonton.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: 00 yeah, yeah, ho, yeah,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the tian Chen yoka 1000
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: layer cake, yes, correct, I know this.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Don't worry, if we go out next, I'll just order everything,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: OK? This brought to you by Tin's not, but it
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: should have been. But yeah, um, we're gonna open up
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: phone lines in just a bit, but I wanted to
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: share what happened at dinner yesterday, OK? And it's got
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: to do with um, whether or not you're a creature
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: of habit and whether you keep just ordering the same
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: things at the same restaurant, right?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Anyway, um, like I was saying earlier, pose a question
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: to Jokum, which I answered myself since I know him
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: so well, um, whether or not he's a creature of
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: habit when it comes to not just picking the same
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: restaurants to eat at, but ordering the same things when
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: you go to said restaurants. And the answer is yes,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: he is a creature of habit. Uh, for me, OK,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: usually I, I also roughly have similar orders, but once
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: in a while I'll change up some dishes.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, I had a very interesting dinner.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: And I was very grateful to be invited to a
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: wine pairing dinner. OK, so usually they like to try
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: different restaurants, and this time around it was a Tuta restaurant,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: and I love Tuta. I'm like, oh yeah, local food.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Let's go, right? and wine. Yes, yeah, yeah. Who would
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: have thought? I think anything can be paired nicely if
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: you pick the right types of wine and the cuisine. Like,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: obviously you can't, you shouldn't go eat mala or something
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: like it's going to ruin your taste buds completely. But anyway, um, back,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: back to the, the main topic of conversation.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Um, typically, the guy that hosted us at this, uh, restaurant,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: he will order the same things, OK, and he said,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: this is very good, this is very good. But yesterday,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: the Lapan Yang said, suggested, why don't you try it
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: in this flavor instead? And, uh, casually we went for it, right?
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Find out how everyone felt about it after, but this
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: is not to say it was a bad experience because
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: overall 99% of the food was good. I think maybe
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: it's a question of whether we should stick to what
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: we know and what we like.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: OK, more on that in a bit and we'll tell
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: you what you're gonna win. OK, so, uh, talking about
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: whether or not you're a creature of habit, and here's
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: what happened yesterday, OK? I was invited to a wine
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: dinner and I was very excited because we're gonna try
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: this sa place, and you know me, I love my
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: local food, like anything that is Singaporean food, local food,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: I'm down.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: And I was excited because I've never tried this particular
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: zita place before and supposedly they're quite, they're really good
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: with their crab dishes. They have like a lot of
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: different flavors for their crab.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Can I ask, how do you judge a place in Singapore?
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: I, well, I would say usually for most places they
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: will have like one or two specialties. So you should
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: order their specialty. And then I think also when it
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: comes to the basic appetizers and dishes, do they do
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: it well?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: You know, like that is really the basis of whether
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: or not it's, it's solid
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: overall. So for me, I judge them by their tap
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and tofu. Oh,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the hot plate tofu.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: That's funny because I order this, right, they drown it
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: in the gravy, which shouldn't be the case, and some,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: they perfect it. They do it very
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: well.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, I like a good hot plate tofu. It's
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: been a while since I ordered one though.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: But anyway, so we, we went to this restaurant and
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: seeing how I think majority of us have not eaten
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: at this restaurant before, it was down to the host,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: the person who organized the dinner, to suggest a few,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: you know, a few dishes that he usually likes, right, um,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: to which I think the La Payang came over and
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: welcomed us and said like, hey, you know, um, what,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: what can I get for you today? So he starts ordering.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: And um when it was down to choosing the crabs
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: because there were too many of us, she suggested, honestly,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I think you might need two crabs because we don't
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: have like the very big kind today. It's just based
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: on what they are, they have available. So she said, OK,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: so in that case, we can try two flavors because
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: they've got so many different types of flavors. To which
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: we ordered one of their signature ones, which is like
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: a slightly spicier version, and another one for the people
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: who don't really eat spice, right?
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Um, and I think it was more, it was, it
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: was more of like a vinegar-based sauce, OK. I, I
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: personally like vinegar, so I'm cool with it. But
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I think the guy that threw this dinner, he's never
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: tried this one before. Also, never tried that flavor. After
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: it arrived, he did express to the table like, actually
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: he doesn't like it. The moment he tried it, he
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: was like, I think maybe we should have stuck to
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: the another, another flavor or another flavor I usually order.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Can
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I ask
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: something? Yeah, so for example, if I'm the lao panang.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: OK, and I see you. I said, OK, I recommend
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you try this flavor. For example, if you don't like
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: it and you tell me, should I go, you know what,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: never mind, I changed for you. I give you back
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: your original flavor that you like. Yeah,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: but the thing is we already started eating it because
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I think, OK, it's, it's quite self-explanatory, right? Like, do
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: you want to try something new? This would be my recommendation,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: but then I think the responsibility is already on us
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: because if we make the decision, I don't think we
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: can be like, you know.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: What you could do is maybe just give some feedback, like,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: you know, it's interesting, but maybe it's not for me.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: And then perhaps the next round, if you're very familiar
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: with the owners, they might just, you know, give you
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: a small discount of small appetizer or something. I don't
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: know how they want to handle it, but. Anyway, um, that,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: that got me thinking, right? Typically when I go out
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: and I order food, like let's say for my family,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: especially when we go out on weekends.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I kind of already know what my parents were like
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: and not like, so I tend to just order the
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: same things to be on the safe side. I, I
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: don't know about you. I just want to enjoy the
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: meal and to be on the safe side, I will
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: just order the things that I already know they
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: like. Sons, what do you mean I don't know about you?
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: You go to any dictionary, you search up creature of habit,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: you'll see my name, Joy Gomez right there. OK. I'm
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the kind of creature of habit where I cannot believe
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going to bring up Tin Tai Fong again. You
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: know how every time.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: They got some special like crab meat know xiaolong pao.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: You
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: ignore. You ignore the
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: specials,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the prawn meat one, right? The one over at Junction 8.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I love the service stuff over there. I think we're
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: now friends at this point, but the lady will always try,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: you know, yo chang han to the hanna. I don't
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: want. No, it's true. I've, I've always denied the specials.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. In fact, I can count with
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: one hand the amount of times I've tried a special
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: that was offered. Did you like it?
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Um, no, I went back to the stuff I usually order. See, that's,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: that's the thing, that's the thing. I consider myself quite
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: adventurous sometimes when I'm overseas and if I've never eaten
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: in a restaurant before, fine. But in Singapore, I think
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: somehow I'm also a creature of habit, really. Give us
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: a call 669-11987 or drop us a message 90050987.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Are you like us? Like, have you ever gone to
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: a restaurant straight outside of what you usually order and
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: completely regretted it?
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Ay, I hope not, man. Can you relate?
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Like, do you also just go to the same restaurant
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: and order the same things all the time? We would
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: love to know. Let us
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: know 669-11987 or WhatsApp us at 90050987. Again.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: If you do like your answer, we're gonna send you
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: over to Courtyard by Marriott's Las Palmas for some nice
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: cocktails and some good food and rooftop bar views. Yeah,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: beautiful skylight. Inspired by, um, what happened yesterday during dinner
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: where we were invited to a sha place. Never tried
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: it before, but, uh, one of our friends who's like
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: a regular there.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: strayed away from his usual order and accepted a recommendation
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: from the staff, to which unfortunately, I think it was
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: a consensus that it wasn't our favorite dish, unfortunately. So
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: the question is, do you tend to just stick to
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: the stuff that you order all the time at the
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: same restaurants or are you adventurous?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Intrigued that we're getting people's favorite orders now. OK, OK,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: let's go. I want to say good morning to Manda.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Manda says, morning, Sojo. This month, my current craving is
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Hunan cuisine. very specific. I've brought my family to eat
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: 3 different restaurants to try Hunan cuisine, and every time
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: we order the same thing.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: The same things are screwed pepper with pork, screwed pepper
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: mashed century egg, potato shreds, he tear cabbage, pork intestines,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: and lotus soup.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I've never tried any of these before. OK, except lotus soup,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: except lotus soup, yeah. Um, I, I don't really know
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: what Hunan cuisine is, to be very honest. I don't
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: think I've actually tried a specific, a meal specific to that.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Don't, don't look at me to save you. No, no, no,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I, I think you have no idea. You have no
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: idea as well, but OK, that, that's interesting to know
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: what people are ordering.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: One more coming in from JL. JL says, I just
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: want to say that I'm completely in agreement with Joakim
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: about hot plate tofu being the standard for assessing a
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: chicha place. I
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: mean, that's, that's the truth right there, especially if it's
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: a dish that you like, right? Um, to which JL,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: please tell us which is your.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Favorite suta shop, which shop has the best hot plate tofu?
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I will personally go down and try. Yeah, we
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: definitely want
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Uh,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Nick says, Morning, Sojo, and welcome back, Joakim. Hey, thanks, Nick.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I'm a creature of habit. I will go to my
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: favorite store or restaurant for that dish and nothing else.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: But if I do have an adventurous taste bud as well,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I will try if the dish is interesting or something
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about. The thought is we have to try
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: before the dish becomes our habit, so give it a
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: shot when you can.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, you, you're not wrong. It's just that more
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: often than not, I realized that I tie the restaurant.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I associate the restaurant to a particular dish that I
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: like from that restaurant. So if I'm going to that restaurant,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: chances are I will order the dish that I connect
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: with that restaurant, you know what I mean?
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: You're gonna laugh at me, OK. Yeah. The very first
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: time I had Subway, OK, I had nothing but tuna
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: for 3 years straight. Oh my God. Then I said, OK,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: let's try BMT today.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Then I liked
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: it and it became your order for the next 3 years.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Tell me I'm wrong. Inspired by, um, what happened yesterday
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: during dinner where we were invited to a sita place.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Never tried it before, but uh one of our friends
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: who's like a regular there.

  Speaker 2: no, I, I think you have no idea. You have

  Speaker 2: with that restaurant, you know what I mean?
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: You're
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: gonna laugh at me,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The very first time I had Subway, OK, I
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: had nothing but tuna for 3 years straight. Oh my God.

  Speaker 2: it and it became your order for the next 3 years.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Tell me I'm wrong. Um, we're talking about whether or
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: not you tend to be a creature of habit when
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: it comes to ordering the same thing at the same
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: restaurants all the time, inspired by my own dinner yesterday
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: when we straight away and ordered something that was recommended
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: and unfortunately, I think, didn't quite like it. So we've decided,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: you know what, we're gonna, we're gonna stick to what
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: we know in the future.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Got a text coming in that reads, Morning soaking. I'll
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: only try new things when I go to a new restaurant. Otherwise,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: if I go to a restaurant I frequently visit, then
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I'll only eat the same thing. It's got to the
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: point where the bang at the stall would just look
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: at me and go, Same,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: same order, the usual.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Is that what your aunties usually say? Yeah,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's me at Pasta mania
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: as
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: well. Yeah, you don't even wait, this one is it,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: is it the chicken carbonara? No,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: the basil chicken basil
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: chicken, sorry, ugly. OK, this one I got wrong.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Soup
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Coke Zero.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: You know why? Because I don't, I think we've only
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: eaten together there like once or twice before. Remember back
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: then when Scape had um Pasta Mania?
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I can remember the day as if it was yesterday.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: It was the very first day of training.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Sonia and I went hey hey and after Justin and
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Vernon walked us through the panels, we said, hey, let's
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: go for dinner over at Scape's, uh, Sydney Leisure's, um,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Pasta Mania that's no longer there.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, good times. Those we caught
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: up massively. We did one coming in from Johannes with
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: our run crew. We'll go to the same tutta every week,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: and the lao pan has adopted us already. Usually we
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: go for our favorite dish, but every now and then
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: we try something new from the menu, and whenever we do,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: we actually.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I like it a lot, but the next time we go,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: we always go back to our favorites.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know, it's, it's about the
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: company as well, right, that you enjoy your food together with. Anyway,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: keep your calls coming through. We have time to chat
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: with you on air. 669-11987 and tell us, are you
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: a creature of habit when you go to a restaurant,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: do you always order the same things? Anyway, we are
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: talking about whether or not you're a creature of habit
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: when it comes to ordering the same thing at the
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: same restaurants all the time, inspired by my own experience.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, sometimes you stray away from your order and you
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: might regret it.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I want to say good morning to May on WhatsApp.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Hey guys, I used, I used to stick to the
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: tried and tested method until I was invited for a
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: fine dining meal I couldn't refuse. Everything on the menu
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: looked foreign to me. It was a scary meal with
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: some hits and misses, and I was really self-conscious, worried
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: that I may involuntarily gag or make some rude, disgusted face,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: but I made it.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: And I learned that that as with other things in life,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: it's great to step out of my comfort zone once
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: in a while and expand my taste buds. Still wouldn't
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: be trying fried insects
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: though.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Definitely not me. I'm not I'm not trying that too.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: There's no adventurous. There's no way I'm doing that. I,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: I've heard things, some people say it's nice, but I
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: don't trust them.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, the last time I ate a cricket was
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: when Steve Chia was in the studio, but
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: it wasn't
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: a full cricket in the form. It's the chips, yeah,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: to which I don't know whether it was psychological, but
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I can taste cricket.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Even though it has a lot of seasoning on it,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: I think, but I can definitely, it's psychological.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Anyway, how about the phone line 669-11987. Uh,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Cheryl, thank you for holding on. What about you? So
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: creature of habit for me and my entire family, to
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: the extent that when I was pregnant, I eat the
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: same food and my children turned out the same too.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? I hope that's a good thing.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: They must have been so used to it inside the womb.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: So wait, take us through it. Like, what were you
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: craving all the time and what was it that you ate?
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Actually very attracted to Indian cuisine, like the naans, the curry.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: So people, yeah, and people will be shocked like how,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: you know, these young kids actually, uh, can take such
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: spices at a very young age. So I think it
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: must have been, you know, all the preparation done before
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: they were born. True, true. I mean, look, there, there's
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: some of these, um, old wives' tales where they're like, oh,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: you cannot eat.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Certain things or like what I think something like um
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: you should stay away from like coffee and I don't
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: know overly acidic stuff. I don't know that's what I hear. Yes,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: like caffeine and also, um, you know, strong spices. Some
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: people will just say, you know, you should take nutritious
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: food and if you believe in TCM, you know, then
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: some people just go all the way with
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: all the
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: nutritious
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: uh tonic soups and whatnot,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: yeah. So Cheryl, I'm guessing your kids and even you
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: when you go for hot pot is malatala.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, that one is, yeah, another skill, but
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: not all the time,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: yeah.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: OK, because Indian spice is different. It's different, yeah, yeah,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: so I love it,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: yeah, yeah, yeah, but good training, man. Like honestly, I
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: would love to be your kid. I would love to
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: eat curry and prata every day.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Mhm. Well, we're wrapping up the topic right about now actually.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: The question is, are you a creature of habit ordering
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: the same thing at the same restaurant all the time?
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Wanna say a big thank you to all your calls
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: and texts, and today's winner, let's give it to May,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: who called or texted us earlier. May, congratulations.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Always a tough one because we've got so many great
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: stories coming through, new voices, you know, new names that
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: we speak
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: to as well.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: May sharing about how she's a creature of habit, but
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: one day she had a fine dining invitation she could
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: not refuse. Maybe a date, you know. Could be. And
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: ever since that experience, she has decided to always try
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: new
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: things.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, embrace it. Yeah, but sometimes if you're really craving
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: one particular thing, just satisfy the craving also. It really
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: depends situationally, yeah.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: OK, here's what you're
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: winning
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: me. A nice dining experience. All thanks to our friends
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: over at Las Palmas. They are over at Courtyard by
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Marriott Singapore Novena, level 33, so you're guaranteed very nice views.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Sonia
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: and Joakim here with you. Thanks for joining us. So,
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: question for you, when was the last time you took
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: a ferry?
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Out to, you know, Patam or Bintan or some nearby
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: island for a quick like getaway. Oh,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: it was Bintan.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you went for a friend's wedding, right? Was it? Yeah,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: friend's wedding?
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Hello Nedra and Leonard.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: How long ago was this? This
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: was 2 years ago.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: So do you remember where you took the ferry from?
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: At that point, do you recall?
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: I, I, I hope I get this right. Was it
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Changi Ferry Terminal?
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Tanamera, is it? Yeah, yeah. I mean, yes, there's um,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: there's that and also remember Harborfront Center, there's a ferry
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: terminal also.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: But where does that
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: go to? I know. So interestingly, as you know, this
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: was actually announced, um, let me, let me double check
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: when they announced it. I think it was quite some
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: time ago. They announced that Harborfront Ferry and Cruise Center
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: were were moving to an interim terminal.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Terminal in the second half of 2026 and construction of
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: the interim terminal is expected to be completed in December. So, um,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: works have been underway right now and I think currently,
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: the new harborfront ferry terminal is to open in July.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: The Batam Fast ferry is the first to move on
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: the 7th of July, which is coming very soon. So
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of new changes. So the people, I mean,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: the powers that be there are saying they encourage you
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: to arrive a bit earlier as it is a new location.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: New building, you want to familiarize yourself with where you
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: have to go to for which, uh, which ferry, which
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: ferry operator. So please come early and figure it out first.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Can
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I say
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: this is a win for those who enjoy going to
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Bintan because now with, I mean, Harbourfrontation just very near
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: the ferry terminal as compared to Tanah Merah ferry terminal.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: It's really
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Olu of the Ulu.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Actually, I'm curious to know what happens to Tanamera ferry terminal. Like,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: does everything get relocated there? Um, but currently the new
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: terminal is located right beside the current one. It's about
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: just a 70 m walk away from the current, uh,
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: existing terminal. So definitely do check it out. I think you,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: you have direct access from like Harbourfront MRT station.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: Um, sheltered walkways are linking the MRT station in Vivo City,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: for example, to the new terminal. So definitely go
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: check it out. So please make sure you do your
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: due diligence and check which ferry you belong to. Don't
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: board the
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: wrong one.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And also like when it comes to, um, boarding
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: ferries and all that, I, I tend to try and
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: pack a little bit lighter because you have to manage
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: your own luggage. I'll just, yeah, oh, you backpack, yeah,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: I can't, I can't do that. Have you seen me
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: versus a backpack? Like the backpack is bigger than me.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: The last time I carried a backpack was in primary school.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Wait, sorry, hang on. 3 days, 2 nights in Bintan.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, cabin luggage. The cabin size luggage, the small
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: one. OK,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: yeah, yeah, right, because if you tell me to bring
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: my luggage or panic. I'm like, what are you packing
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: cabin size luggage. OK, yes, OK, satisfied
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: you for the clarification.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: OK, one of those times where we Singaporeans pay attention
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: to survey results or reports.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Yet another survey. What's going on now?
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: This one brought to us by our friends over at
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: the Reuters Institute. OK. I want to say congratulations to
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Channel News Asia online for being the most used online
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: news source in Singapore.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Wow, well done.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: And you're, you're listening to two people that log on
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: to CNA every morning. Every morning without
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: fail. So close to 47% of people who were surveyed,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: they use CNA online. Well done to them. And then 45%
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: use Mothership.sg. 44% use StraitTimes online. So those are the
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: top three. Quite a close margin if you ask me. Uh,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: some interesting stats here, OK.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: 7% of people like to go to the independent Singapore. OK. 10%
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: go to their online citizen and 17% of people get
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: their news from social media, not stomp of all places.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: That's considered a news channel. I mean journalism,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: I guess as well over
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: there, I guess. I mean they still hold a responsibility
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: to fact check first, right?
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: So I mean, congrats to these sites with the healthy
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: flow of traffic, but wherever you're consuming news from.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I think the safe thing to do is always cross
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: reference and double check, make sure it is not fake
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: news and make sure the video isn't now AI doctored.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Actually, sometimes admittedly we do that as well. If we
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: come across something on social media we're not sure about,
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: we'll go on CNA and check first. Like, did they
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: post about it yet? If they didn't, chances are they
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: are still fact checking, you know what I mean?
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but CNA, well done. Yeah,
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: hey, can wave to them right now.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Gentle reminder, this weekend is Father's
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Day. Ah yes.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Did you book anything yet for your,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: your
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: dad?
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: I mean,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: My, my dad's well taken care of with his family.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but still you want to spend some time
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: with him,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: right? bring him to our usual place Dempsey.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, I see, speaking of creatures of habit, I think
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: you got it from your dad. No, no,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: no, but, but I have something planned for my dad
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: next year, OK,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: OK, for his like birthday or, or just I was
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: just to spend time with him. I,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: was just thinking.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Finally, Manchester United looks a bit decent as a team.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's high time I bring him to Old Trafford
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: to it. Let him watch a game there. You should
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, the man that introduced me to football
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: and Manchester United.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: It's
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: gonna be such a fun like shared experience.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, OK, I'm gonna be very honest with you.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know about your parents, right, but my parents
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: are not at that phase where they always say things like,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Better do now before I'm gone.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: It's irritating. Stop it, mom and dad.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: You know, as much as we always think that our
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: parents are invincible and in our minds they will like
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: live on forever, right? I think they're also coming to
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: the age where they are worried that their health will
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: not hold up for that much longer. So that's probably why.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: When my
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: mom says it, I know it's a bit of like
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: loving blackmail. When my dad says it, he, he says
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: it with the most.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Sincere, sincere smile like better do before I'm gone. Wow,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: my heart.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: I know, I know how that feels
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: You see, just spend as much time as you can. I,
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: I think that's, you know, living in the present, that's
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: the most that you
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: can do.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: So how's Hong Kong gangsters Father's Day? Yeah,
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: he's talking about my dad, by the way, in case
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: you're not sure. Yeah, we, we're definitely, we meet at
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: least twice a week. So, um, Sunday we're just, we're
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: gonna go out. Yeah, booked him lunch in
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: the car? He is driving.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Now,
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: new car, he offered to drive lah. I'd be the
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: passenger princess.
