• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Good next.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Well, what can we say?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Happy iPhone 18 launch day. Burgundy, glacier, silver, black. Everybody's
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: gonna share and post it up on social media now.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: It's so beautiful. Anyway, we'll fill you in more about
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that in just a bit. Meantime, we're going to kick
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it off with the Kit LeRoy, Singapore's number one hit
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Once again, TGIF and happy iPhone launch day as we
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: said earlier. Yeah, burgundy for me, and I think it
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: comes at a very good time because I can get
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: familiar with the phone and then during Formula One season
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore, I'm going to put it to the test.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So here's the thing, it always launches before Formula One
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: in Singapore. That's the thing. So I think when, you know,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: it comes to a time where you
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You have to take, maybe you're at the side of
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the track or you're, you have a good view and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you want to test out all the features. It's always
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: been the perfect testing bit. Let's see whether can I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: really zoom into Hamilton's sweat or Max Verstappen's smile if
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: he's smiling, um, might be too fast for you. So
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you can zoom in on that,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: capture that moment, but we're excited regardless. So hey, even
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: if you're.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Switching your phone or maybe you're not, you're still thinking
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: about it. You don't know just yet. Um, take your time,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: think about it, see what calls your name, you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: like in terms of color, whether you have a need
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: for it and all that. In that case, I'll be
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: hearing voices in my head, all the colors glacier. So
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I sounded very creepy glacier. Why do you make it
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: sound scary? Glacier. No, no, it's OK. OK, stop it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy it's Friday.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just happy we got here. What is this happiness? No,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it's not. It's genuine. Oh, OK. Actually happy. Why would you,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: why would anyone be forced into being happy that it's Friday?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Fair enough. OK. You'll be naturally happy.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: That's it though, I'm very sure on your nature trails
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: or maybe even sometimes over at Robertson Quay or East
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Coast Park, you might run past the otters, past them
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: as well. In fact, now they put up signs about
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: how to respond if and when you see otters. Oh good. Yeah,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in some areas I've seen them.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Again, please don't feed them and you might also see
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: monitor lizards. OK, OK. Over at the Bishan Canal sometimes
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: when I run past it, there's one prominent one, big
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: fat one. It's, it's his territory. Yeah, and this fellow
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: always shows up after heavy rain.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Just chilling in the canal water swimming, it's cool and
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you know, minding its own business kind of thing. But
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: if you ever see two monitor lizards sort of like
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: hugging each other on their hind legs, it's anything but cute. Sorry,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: are they fighting? Yes.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So I think I've seen some memes of those before.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I think there is a video of two monitor lizards,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the Malayan monitor lizards over at the Sengkang area. They
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: were seen to be like hugging each other. Then people
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: are like, Are you the grappling. They actually Brazilian jiu-jitsu
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: actually you're not wrong, really. It's like a wrestling kind
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of wrestling for dominance and.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And the first monitor lizard to fall loses and the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: one that wins gets the female's affection. I was literally
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: going to say, who's the girl? Yeah, exactly. Who's the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: girl they're fighting over? Did, did the netizens manage to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: catch like a picture of the girl, the lady in question?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe the lady was hiding somewhere. She's like, are you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: fighting over me? Please stop fighting. Oh.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is horrible. Keep please continue. So the next
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: time you see a bunch of monitor lizards fighting or
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: hugging each other, yes, that is what they're doing. They're
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: wrestling for dominance, trying to win the affection of the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: female monitor lizard. Another question is, OK, um, does the,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: does the losing monitor lizard get very badly injured, or
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: is it just whoever gets knocked over? How do they
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: know mostly your pride and your ego.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: get bruised. So you don't actually like, you know, the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: lions in the wild, they get hurt because I don't
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: see them scratching each other or pushing each other. The
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: arms are so short. They are really using their body weight.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Their arms are so short, it's like a T-rex moment
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to assert dominance. So there you go. Wow, actually if
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you think about it, right, dinosaurs have evolved, but in
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a way they're still quite similar. I mean lizards are
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: sort of descendants in a way dinosaurs, yeah, exactly so.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, hey, thanks for the random fact this
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: morning though. Like, I, I thought that was pretty interesting.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I never knew that. Inspired by a video that we
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: saw on TikTok where I think Sengkang. Well, you know what, um,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it seems like we have more in common than we think, right,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: like humans.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And animals and reptiles, all kinds of creatures. It's always
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: because of a girl. I hug you, I hug you,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: wrestle with you. Yeah, but this is, this is different.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's OK. Maybe because you never had to fight with
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a guy over a girl before, so.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Actually, you don't know back in secondary school, all chasing
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the same girl. If you're in primary 6, I don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: mean to be the bearer of bad news, but this
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: time next week, it is crunch time for you. 24th
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of September, yeah, English paper 1 and 2. Friday, 25th
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of September, which is next Friday, math paper one and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: math paper two.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And then Saturday and Sunday break. Monday, it's your mother
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: tongue paper. Tuesday, science paper, and Wednesday, if you are
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: doing higher mother tongue, that's your final PSLE paper for you.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: It is just 5 days. Hang in there and then
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you get to enjoy October, November, December before going into
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: secondary school for the new phase of your scholastic.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yo, you know what, I always think like those are
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: really big moments. I'm not sure how you felt when
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you actually switch it up so much like that, you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: like when you move from primary to secondary school, it's
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: a big switch. It's not so much of the academics,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: but more for me it was the culture shock, because again,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: going from an all boys school from Catholic High Primary
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to Choon Secondary, a mixed school. Oh, wow, wow, OK,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: so it took me a while to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: embrace accustomed to it, mixed school culture. I never had
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that until I went to poly, so it's 10 years
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of just girls for me. And then I was thriving
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: in secondary school in all ways except for studying academics. Yeah,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: there you go. Well, I'm pretty sure whoever's on the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: line right now, hopefully has a better shot at getting
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: better at their subjects. Gonna head to the phone lines. Hello,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: good morning. Hi, my name is and I'm.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Hello Zachary. OK, Zachary, what song can we get you today? Uh,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: can I play Big Big Bang please? Alright, are you
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: going for the concert?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And my mummy.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: OK, well, in the meantime, I hope you guys enjoyed
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: this trek together in the car, OK? Take care. Bye bye.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Magnus Ferrell with Asleep Talking right here on 987, Singapore's
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: number one hit music station. Um, apparently I tend to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: do that sometimes, the whole sleep talking situation, but it
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: has happened. Nothing ever makes sense. I remember, I think
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: this was 2 or 3 years ago, my mom came
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: into my room saying, hey, you're doing a radio show,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: is it? Apparently.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Apparently maybe I was dreaming I was with you broadcasting
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: on air, right, right, because my mom heard me saying
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: 987 many times. Very loud, is it? Yes, she can
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: hear from the next room. Oh my. Anyway, um, like
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I said earlier, this is the definition of own self do,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you know, and in a very Singaporean way. It's, it's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: very weird really hearing you turn your alien on, you know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: she's there, by the way.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Because you're so prim and proper, but she's always lurking
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: beneath the surface. But when you go, yeah. This lady
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore, she's, she's only 22, so maybe she's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: still a bit, you know, young and maybe immature. Can
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: we classify this as crime?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't really think it is a, is
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: it a crime? OK, let me tell you what it
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: is first. OK, let me tell you. I think if
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you do it, if you cross certain lines, it's considered
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a crime. However,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You know, drone flying here in Singapore is quite sensitive, right?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Especially around areas where you're not supposed to have footage.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: You have a license to fly a drone and then
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you apply for a permit to fly at a certain
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: area if it's like restricted areas in Singapore. Yeah, you
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: have to be really careful because there's gonna be
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Um, CCTV in most areas, people are looking out for
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: these things. And if you remember there was one particular
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: day where the SAF, they were displaying how they have
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: this piece of tech, right, where they can point this
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: like bazooka looking gun to the sky, the drone, they
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: will disrupt the signal and bring it down.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: But I mean it won't come crashing down. I think
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: it just lands safely. Um, this 22-year-old lady flew a
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: drone for her commercial purposes without any license or any permits,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and she was placed on 12 months' probation, and now
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: she's ordered to complete 50 hours of community service, all
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: because she violated the Air Navigation Act and she faces
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: 31 charges under this act, OK.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: She's uh pleaded guilty and she's given, you know, her,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I guess, open inverted commas, punishment. I mean, it's not
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a jail term or anything, but, you know, still, it's
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: gonna be on your record. Is she at least remorseful? I,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man. Like they, you know, with tabloids
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: sometimes they don't post the most flattering pictures of people, unfortunately,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: so it doesn't look like she feels any sort of
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: way in that photo. I'm sure that.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: She's gonna regret this because her parents were the ones
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that had to, you know, assure, be there and say like, OK,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna provide like a $5000 bond to ensure good
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: behavior during her probation period. Yeah, something like that. So
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: they are the ones that have to be like her
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: guarantors in a way. So she cannot be up to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: anything during this probation time. OK, I'm quite positive today.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm thinking there could be a positive.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, usually it's you. I'm thinking there could be a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: light at the end of this dark tunnel for this lady.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I was wondering whether she was just like oblivious. Yeah,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: so maybe if she's super remorseful and if the judge
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: deems her to be very talented with the drone flying.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And she has to serve community service, right? 50 hours,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: make videos for the MPs. Yeah, yeah, I know, right?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: That's a good idea whichever area they want to cover
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: like Sengkang or maybe even Bedok or East Coast or what, yeah,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: fly the drone, make videos for them, done.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: But you know what the sad thing would be is
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: if she was just learning how to fly the drone
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: or something for like her own purposes. It wasn't clear
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: like what she was doing with the footage, right? They
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: just said for commercial purposes. Did she was flying drone,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: not exactly. Um, they only said very, very vaguely, there was,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it was spotted at Upper Changi Road East, but unsure
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: whether there's any other areas that she was spotted at. Yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, look, um, they're still looking into it
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: at this point, but drone operations, by the way, are very,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: very sensitive. So please, if you ever want to do
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: it even for your company or for your boss, just
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: make sure they've applied for the permits. OK. Upper Changi
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Road to Changi Airport, which could be a restricted area
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: as well. So there you go. Would't be surprised. Be
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: very careful, my friends. Selena Gomez, man, I mean, I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: have to applaud her for
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Really just staying strong throughout all the public criticism and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: also
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: In, in general, people just want to say something. They
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: just want to have an opinion. So the Emmy's just happened, right?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And she was actually featured quite heavily because she was gorgeous.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Like she's gorgeous, showed up in a beautiful golden dress
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and it got a lot of attention in the media.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Well done to my younger sister. But um on that note,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: people started commenting about her face and saying that why
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: does she look so frozen like this? It's a clone. Yes,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: that was the number one theory.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: It's a clone. That's not Selena. You can't convince me
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that's Selena. Look at her eyes. I think she's a bot.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I've been seeing all the comments like they're literally saying
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: she's a humanoid bot. It is not the first time
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that she's gotten these clone I know allegations, right? Allegations, yeah, yeah,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: but she's not the only one. I mean, there are
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: people saying that about other celebrities and, and, you know,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: other singers and actors as well. I mean, till this day,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: people are saying that Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Michael
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Jackson are chilling somewhere in a bunker.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Along with Freddie Mercury and Prince. If only that were true.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: That would be a great Netflix special, man, if that
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: ever happened. Wow. Wow. I mean, look, in an alternate universe,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: maybe that's possible. When we come back here on the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: circuit though, uh, to our friends over at the Novena area, we,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: we thank you for your sacrifice. Construction over already.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: OK, so to our friends over at the Novena area,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: thank you for your sacrifice. The construction is finally ending. No, no, no,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: it's not. Uh, unfortunately, works for the north-south corridor. It's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: been delayed for a while. Oh no. Yeah, so they
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: give a reason? Yes, because, you know, most of the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: north-south corridor is gonna be, it's gonna be happening underground, right?
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: So I think they realize, oh, a bit of
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I, I don't want to use the word hiccups or
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: whatsoever when it comes to the land planning, but there's
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of intricacies that I'm not too familiar with
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: as well. I'm very sure our engineers are on it
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and our friends over at LTA as well. So I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: think yesterday loads of outlets here in Singapore was reporting
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: about how the North-South corridor faced a bit of delays
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: in construction works, but once it's done.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Hopefully, all of us get to enjoy it. Yeah. How
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: long has it been? Did they have a total timeline? OK,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: so a few places are supposed to open in phases
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: in maybe say 2027, but now it's been delayed to 2029.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: 0 no. But, but, but on the flip side, I'd
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: rather it be safe than all of us be sorry.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: So yes, to our construction workers, to our engineers, to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: everyone who's involved in the north-south corridor, work safe and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: thank you for.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Doing what you do. You know, I, I, I will
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: never forget how we did this topic once where we
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: asked you a question about where in Singapore is constantly
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: under construction. I think Novena turned up as an answer
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: at least like 6 out of 10 times. Yes, I mean,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: if you live there or if you pass by there,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I mean my church, Novena Church is over there as well. Yeah,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you would have seen it happening from day one. So again,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: it's a bit of a, I really hope it's a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: bit of a.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Need a little to win the war situation when it
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: comes to the north-south corridor, which will make things a
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: lot more convenient, hopefully in terms of traveling and even
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: cycling or if you want to run, you can do
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: it as well. I cannot wait. Yeah, but in the meantime,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you know, for the people living around there, just hang
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: in there lah. You've been hanging there for a while now.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: So yesterday, you might have seen this article because it
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: came on the back of quite a viral video where
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: this lady, she's in her early 30s, so she's a millennial.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: And she said that she's exhausted all modes of dating
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: apps already.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: She's scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and she's swept on everyone already. And apparently she spent
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: spent over $1000 on dating apps. What is it Tinder
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Premium or Coffee Meets Bagel Premium? I think, well, OK,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I've never been on a dating app, but my friends
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: who have been, they say that you can like pay
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: for like a premium version on some apps to unlock
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: certain features or something like that. I'm not sure.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Whether if you're on a regular feature, how many times
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you're able to like swipe before you have to stop
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: for the day. Something like along those lines. So I'm
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: going to say this again, if you see Sonia and
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I on a dating app, it's not us. Report it
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: as a fake account or a scam account, please, it's
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: not us. And because this lady has said that she's
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: been scraping the bottom of the barrel and she's tried
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: almost like every dating app out there, she's taken to
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: TikTok to try and find her future husband.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: And she literally said, OK, social media, do your thing.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: TikTok is the worst. It's a cesspool. Yeah, it can
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: have a weird mix of people on there. Some, you know, OK,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I would say the vast majority of people that at
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: least interact with our content on 987 and our own
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: personal content, they're OK, but there's always going to be
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: a portion of them that are on socials for the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: wrong reason.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: So, we wanted to open up the phone lines, 669-11987.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I actually asked my friends this just yesterday when we
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: were having dinner. I said, OK, half of them, or
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: rather half of them are already in serious relationships and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: are married, but there are, I think two or three
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that are still single, OK, still single.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And they don't want to go on dating apps at
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: this point. I don't know why. Like it's just, they
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: just don't feel like it suits them. Yeah, even me
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: as well. OK, so then the question is, where is
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the best place to meet your future partner now?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Can I be honest with you? I know you're gonna
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: say it's curated, but actually Instagram. Really? You think so?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: If your account isn't private and I'm able to follow
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: you and have a look at how you live your life,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: your interests, what is it you want to show the world.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: That could connect with me on a surface level. Then
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I take you out on a date to test and
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: see whether it was or not, exactly, to see if
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: this is what you really are, or is it, you know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you're trying to get attention or you're trying to fit
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: into a certain lifestyle that isn't yours, because, yeah, I
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: think Instagram is very much for me at least the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: app to understand someone at least again on a surface
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: level on what is it they are most proud of
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: or what is it they want to show the world.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I would say yes and no. I don't disagree. I
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: don't disagree. I just would say that maybe out of all,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: maybe out of 10 profiles that you look at, 5
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: of them may end up being not exactly their real personality.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Am I right to say that?
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Is it 5 out of 10 or 8 out of
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: 10 are not actually what you think they are? Yeah, yeah.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: What's the percentage? But, but there are some where it's
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: very obvious they are what they post, like whether it
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: comes to running or I don't know how you feel
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: like it's real, it's genuine. It's truly.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Well, then give us a call 669-11987 or you can
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: drop us a WhatsApp message 90050987. Let's say dating apps
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: are out of the question for you at this point, OK?
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: You've already tried it and it's not for you. Where
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: else do you think is a good place, be it
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: online or offline, to meet your future partner? Zo? When
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: was the last time you went there? May.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I've seen you. I've seen you at the club, OK,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm not quite sure whether you're very proactive, or
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: maybe you are when I'm not looking. Actually, you know what,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: on that note, I don't think you've seen me at
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: a club where I actually approach someone. I've never seen,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I've never seen it. Uh, my good friend Iggy and Mindy, yes,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: they have, OK. I'm guessing it didn't quite work out.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: If not, you'll be attached now. 669-11987 or like we said,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: drop us a message 90050987. Aside from dating apps, if
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: that's out of the question for you, where else could
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: be a good place to meet your future partner? Online
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: or offline? Let us know. And we're heading to our
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: messages first, we're talking about if
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Let's just say you're single and dating apps are out
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: of the question because you've tried it and it's just
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: not for you. Where else would be the ideal place,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: online or offline to meet your future partner? Wanna say
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: good morning on WhatsApp to Hafiz. Hello Hafiz. Hafiz says,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you know, in China, they have a space where parents
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: come and promote their children. What? Wow. Maybe we can
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: have such a physical space, but people market themselves instead
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of their parents doing on behalf of them.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Wow, so you mean like just go up and push
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: yourself or what? Can I, can you please humor me
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: for a while? OK, OK. OK. Imagine that we're in
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: this space in China. Mama and Papa Chew are at
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the space right now publicly promoting their precious daughter Sonia Chew.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Oh no. What do you think they'll say?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Um, she won't cook, she won't clean, but she'll make
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: you laugh.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: To go pow.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Sorry, just made me think of a Cardi B song.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I don't cook, I don't clean. But let me tell
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: you how I got this ring.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's true though. What about this sort
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: of public space and guess good luck to you.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: He's your problem now. I'm not that bad. Can you
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: lift me up? Always tearing me down and my feelings hurt.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Good luck to you.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Congrats.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Uh, this is why I'm single, publicly being shamed here
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and there. Anyway, I want to say good morning to Gerald.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: You wait, you wait. Hey guys, morning from JB. I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: enjoyed listening to the both of you early in the morning.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: It's a good idea to open up my Instagram to
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: public mode now. By the way, I've tried Tinder a
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: few months.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: A bit difficult to see someone genuine there. I found
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: there are lots more scammers on Tinder and on all
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: these dating apps now because people are catfishing pictures or
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: using someone else's photo. This is the problem. It has
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: evolved so much, right?
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I, I, I think when the founders of these apps,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: you know, be it dating or even like Bumble has
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: a Bumble friends app as well, you know, they, they
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: came up with these apps with the intention of like
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: connecting people together.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: But once it gets into the wrong hands and you
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: see sketchy people starting to join that, they're taking advantage
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: of the platform to do other dodgy things, you know.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And also, OK, to advisors, I respect your hustle, but
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I have heard stories of guy or girl, they match
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: on Tinder, they meet on the first date, the iPad
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: comes out. Oh no, OK, at least wait till the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: 3rd date.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: What did you do on the first date? It's supposed
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: to be that, but OK, never mind. On the back
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: of this lady going quite viral on TikTok, where she
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: said she has exhausted all her options for dating on
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: dating apps. So now she's turning to social media and
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: she literally said, and I quote loosely, she said, social media,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: do your thing. Help me find a husband here. So
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the question today is, would you, where would you find
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: your future partner? Online or offline? We found love.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: a hopeless place. Wanna say good morning to Chris. Morning,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Joakim. I agree with Joakim that Instagram is
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: a very good platform to basically see how this person
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: is like through the post he or she posts. So
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: you got an idea how this person's way of life
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: is like, whether you can relate or connect to that person.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: So when it comes to the day when you meet
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: that person, you already have a topic or something to
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: chat about without the awkward silence. For me, I met
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: my then girlfriend.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: from an online forum where we chatted, got to know
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: each other better before meeting each other. Congratulations, Chris. That's sweet.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: But see, here's the thing, right? With every person that
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: shows a lot of their life and their lifestyle on
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Instagram or social media platforms, there's also a big portion
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: of people who are not into social media. You know
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: what I mean? Like they don't, look, I know some
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: of my friends who are in media, like they work
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: in media, but they literally post like twice a year.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Because they're just not into it, you know. So how
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: do you then, you know what I mean? Yeah, so
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: then they just don't. So how do you meet people?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Good question. Yeah, I'm curious. So I want to say
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: hello to Sylvest who says, hey Sojo, funny story about
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: 8 to 10 years ago, I downloaded all the dating
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: apps possible. I mean, yeah, 10 years ago it was Tinder,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Coffee Meets Bagel, all trending.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: And I paid a premium for every single one of them.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Although there were some short-term, short-lived relationships and flings. Nothing
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: would eventually work. I give up on these apps and
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I asked an acquaintance out. It was genuinely to go
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: out as friends because I did not know that she
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: had broken up with her boyfriend at that time, and
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: now almost 10 years later, we are happily.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, so many success stories today. So sweet.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: It shows that instead of trying too hard, just look
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: within your circle, you will probably find the one. Hey,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: don't look at me, dude. You kidding, kidding, kidding. Just kidding.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: It's been 16 years. That ship has sailed. The ship sank.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: The ship capsized with the anchor.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Back to our messages first before we get to Benji
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: who's hanging on the phone lines. We got loads of
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: texts coming in on where is the best place to
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: meet your future partner. Yeah, OK, let's go. Let's go.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Steve says, Hey, Joakim and Sonia, pick up interest and
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: join an interest group. Lots of them on the app
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: like to meet up. If you're not interested in anything.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Then no one will be interested in you. My wife
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: hates clubbing and loud music, but we met in a
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: pub irony and we got married. Like the Northern Territorial advert,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you'll never know if you never, never go. Oh, sweet.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, this, this does remind me of how, you know,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I told you I sort of crashed like a.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Singles event two weekends back, the paddle, the paddle one.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: So apparently, um, two sets of people actually went out eventually.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: So maybe something might happen there. OK, one more coming
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: in from Damon. Damon says morning guys. I had my
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: first date plus kiss and hold hands at OBS Cam.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, so cute. And I found my wife at a
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: car club. We were both driving the same make but
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: different versions. A piece of advice for singles actively looking
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: for the other half, cough cough, Joakim. Time to go
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: out and meet real people. Join running clubs or any
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: interest groups, like, for example, yoga, mountaineering, good luck. Hm, yeah,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: you see, Joakim, join the club.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Which, by the way, he has made it very clear
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: he does not like the idea. Can be overstimulating. One
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: more from Jolene. Morning, Sonia and Joakim. I agree with
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the go with the unexpected where we just meet people
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: as friends or acquaintances because that's how I met my
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: then boyfriend, now fiance through university as classmates, and we
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: are getting married tomorrow. 10.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Congratulations. That's so sweet. Wow, so many success stories, Joe. Congrats, congrats. Congrats, Jolene.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: How does this inspire you or not? All the success stories? Again,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I have been going up. I know,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I know I've been meeting people, but, but in terms
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: of getting on the apps or has anything amounted to
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: a relationship? Not yet. So again, only because 987 is
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: home to me and you are one of my best
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: friends in life. If anything happens, I know you tell me,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I will tell you straight away. I know, I know. OK,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I've been waiting.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: For a while, I'm just waiting every day I'm just saying, OK,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: is today the day the day tell me you waited
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: 6 years. What's another 6.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Another 6 years. I'm not even sure whether we'll be
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: doing this morning show right now like this, OK.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Hopefully in 6 years we'll be getting more sleep lah,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. Oh my. You never know actually in
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the meantime. OK, we only got time for one last
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: caller hanging on the line right now and a very
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: interesting one here today. Let's just say you have sworn
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: off dating apps already. Like you've, you've done everything, you've
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: swiped everywhere. Where else could be a good place to
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: meet your future partner?
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: At this point for me, I went with Instagram and
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: people are going with interest groups. Why not? Why not? Benji,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: what about
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: you?
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: If apps are out of the question, I recommend, uh,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Instagram 100%. Uh, it's like you get to meet authentic
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: people as well as some of the very smart people,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: but I think if you have like a common interest,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: generally you tend to find like-minded people, and then that's
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: where I found my girlfriend, I guess.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, OK, so walk us through the.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: entire journey. How do you find her? How do you
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: slide into DM when you first saw her profile, what
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: attracted you to her? So
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: usually like follow, I guess like people who are related
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: to my sports. So I do like snowboarding and then
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: I generally just want to follow people that share the
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: same bond and whatsoever. And then I think one fine
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: day I was on the explore page, I saw this
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: person posting a video that talks about why she journeyed
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: like her past 10 years doing snowboarding and she was like, right.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: After COVID, she went to um Switzerland to meet her
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: godparents to do like backcountry, uh, snowboarding, and I was
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: just like, oh, this is a very cool uh profile.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I'll follow her. Uh, she followed me back, um, on
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: hindsight because we had like some mutual friends. Uh, we
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: got reconnected because of that and then she's like, yeah,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: actually I didn't find you a crib because you, you
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: follow like some of my close friends I met in Japan.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, OK, ever since then.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Haven't looked back. We are 4 years into our relationship.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: It's LDR, but it's workable if you put your mind
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: to it. I think physical interaction is very important.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: LDR.D. OK, OK, stop looking at me. Alright, so this one.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Avengers Endgame Encore. It will be out in cinemas next Thursday, OK,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: 24th of September.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: But it's also day one of PSLE. I was just
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: gonna say that. Oh no. So, OK, to the P6 kids,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: if you're tuned in, use it as a reward. Once
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: you're done with your final paper, could be signed to
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: a higher mother tongue, then you go and watch. Yeah,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: like it's a distress or unwind. If you think about it.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're in primary 6 this year, Avengers
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Endgame came out when you were just 5 years old, 2019.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know that the audience. I mean, it's not
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: because you have a lot of movies. Yeah, and this
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: whole Marvel Cinematic Universe began 18 years ago and it's,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: it's to.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Robert Downey Junior's Iron Man, to which everything is available
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: for you on Disney Plus if you need to catch up.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: So for Avengers Endgame, you know, they've been teasing this
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: whole infinity vision thing. Honestly, in my layman terms, it's
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: very much IMAX, but just maybe Marvel's version of it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: So it will be screened in Singapore.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: cinemas. I think maybe your favorite IMAX cinemas or even
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: your GV Grand or was it GV Vivo? OK, you
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: know what, I have to watch this one. I mean,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I've already missed Odyssey. So, um, look, there will be
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: 4 minutes of additional footage, so total runtime could be
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: just slightly above 3 hours, including post-credit scene, and the
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Russo brothers themselves have said these additional scenes and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good refresher and a good teaser on
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: what to expect for Avengers Doomsday coming up December 18th.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like you know if you haven't
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Any information about this, about the universe in a while,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: maybe do a bit of a recap because I I've
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: forgotten some stuff already. I need to recap. So I
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: think you can do your advance booking starting today, September 18th.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Tickets are available. Go and book it and watch it.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: If you are starting your PSLE, you know, written papers
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: on the 24th, we wish you all the best. And
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: if you haven't seen Odyssey, Sonia, sorry, please go. Spider.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I'm on it. I'm on it.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: OK, so like I said earlier, it's a good time
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: to be an NTUC member. I am, yeah, so am
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I actually my mom also. Most people are actually, I feel, right? Yeah, I,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I don't really know a Singaporean that's not an NTUC member.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: And especially if you enjoy shopping at fair prices, yeah,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: for the points. I know. Yeah, don't call me uncle, really. I, I,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I love getting all these kind of points. You call yourself,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: then you say don't call you anyway.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Um, NCUC members can get free entry to Sentosa twice
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: per month moving forward. OK. Actually, this is really good because, um,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I would say one of the things that sometimes will
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: stop people from say, hey, you want to go catch up,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: we go meet in Sentosa or you know, go have
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: drinks or they'd be like.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Oh the entry and then all the parking or this
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: and that, right? So this actually waives off quite a
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: bit of your, your entry fee. Beautiful. So is it
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Sentosa Island or RWS Sentosa like just entry into Sentosa.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I think that when it comes down to the charges
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: in RWS it's always separate from
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: From what you're doing in Sentosa itself, because if you
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: say entry in Sentosa, right, for example, if I take
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: the Sentosa Express from Vivo City that goes to RWS
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: and then the beach stations, I can just tap the
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: NTUC thing and go in for free, the QR code.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure about RWS, OK, OK, yeah,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: as in they didn't mention RWS. I feel like they
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: do operate
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Separate entity, but we're talking about, you know, Sentosa's attractions.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I would say, I'm assuming it is the main Sentosa Island, but, um,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: of course, if you want more information, log on, read it.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: There's going to be um bulletins that's released every first,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: every month, and I think a new e-voucher will be
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: released on the first day of every month. Yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: So please link it up, uh, link your NTUC membership
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to your Islander account through the My Sentosa app. So easy.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I just there after National Day Parade, just having my
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: own stay over there. The sensory escape as you go
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: towards Siloso Beach, very nice. Oh, it's very peaceful, is it?
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Walk at night. Yeah, calming. The lights are nice. Sonia,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I have a very important question to ask you, OK? Alright,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: and this will be your entertainment if you're tuned in
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: to us.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Touch wood, in a hypothetical situation, OK, let's just say
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: one day at 2 a.m. in the morning I call
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: you or somebody calls you saying, hello Miss Sonia Chew. Uh,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Joakim Gomez has been locked up for the night. He
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: needs you as his bailer.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: OK, would you bail me out for what first?
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I might laugh first and be like, what happened? What happened?
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: You tell me first what happened first, then I decide. No, no, no,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I mean if I, if I, if I, you know,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: get up to no good, do something, and I'm in trouble,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: and you're supposed to bail me out, you are the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: guarantor for my good behavior and for me to not
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: miss my.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: OK, OK. Would you do it for me? I mean, OK,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: because of the fact that I've known you for so long,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I know that you're not, you're not going to bail
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: out on me if I bail you out, pun intended.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I will come down and help you, but
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: not before I take a chuckle first. I might laugh first.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: If the, if the bail amount was $45,000 I think
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: you sort it out. There are other options, you got
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: other friends. OK, um, look, I, I, I read this
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: headline and this one involves, um, OK, politician slash lawyer.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Lim Tian, who unfortunately got, I think one of his
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: colleagues from his political group to bail him out for $45,000. OK, and, and,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: and this guy actually made sure, hey, you, I'm gonna
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: bail you out. You better make sure you don't miss
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: your court date, ah, OK.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Lim Tian absconds to Malaysia, right? The bailer has forfeited
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: his $45,000. He tried to fight for it in court.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: He's tried to fight for it back. No, he's basically
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the guarantor. Exactly. Yeah. So, uh, lesson learned. Be very
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: careful who you trust and be very careful who you
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: bail out.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: So difficult, honestly, what if, how, how do you trust
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: anyone anymore? This is a good friend, right? So I
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: promise you, Sonia, if you bail me out, I will
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: not miss my court date. I will stay in Singapore
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: and all that, OK? $45,000. Thank you. You sure or not? Yes,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: you sure? I see your face. I'm not so sure,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: so I'm starting to feel a bit. Where am I
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: gonna go?
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Uh, Spain, Italy, I mean, I don't know, but you're
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: not allowed to travel, my passport, and you have my
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: mom and my dad, you know them personally. I cannot
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: la to be can't escape, I think, yeah, you have
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: a good point there. Someone else is OK.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: It's Lady Gaga, Garden of Eden, right here on 987.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Joakim here with you. Oh, baby mama, she's
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: officially Lady Mama.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: No, what did you say yesterday? Mama Gaga. Mama Gaga's funnier.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Nicer ring to it. Yes, yeah. Speaking of Mama here,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: time for me to go down to the Singtel store,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: get for her the iPhone 18 in Glacier. No, OK,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I love my mom. Don't get me wrong, but every
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: year when I get the new iPhone, right, I'm like, Mom,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: so what do you do with the new iPhone? How
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: do you?
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: She has no idea. I just want to use and
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: show my friends my my son got for me. She
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: wants to flex. She wants to flex. No, but, OK,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: to be very, very honest, I feel like for our parents'
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: generation and above, like if they're not really utilizing all
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the features on the phone, it kind of defeats the purpose.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: That's why I want her to go out there and
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: take pictures, you know, can't.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Force her to do that because that to her may
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: not be like enjoyable, you know what I mean. Every
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: time I'm free, right, Mom, come, let's go. No lah,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: very hot, tired now. Got the haze. Then when I'm
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: not free, ya, leave your mother at home. Mommy, how
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: to win? You, you don't win. You realize that, right? There's,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: there's no winning here. There's no actually this is good
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: enough training for you for the future, yeah, but there
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: you go.
