• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Good morning. Welcome to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the show. I'm back just for a couple of days
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: before I officially go on leave for the rest of
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the month. All the details very soon, but today, on
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the back of Media Corp's cloud nine, we do have
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Robert joining us in the studio later on. So make
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: sure you stand by for that. We can't wait. Singapore's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: number one hit music station.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Like I was saying earlier on, I'm just back for
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a couple of days before I'm officially on leave for
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the rest of the month. Only the most important week
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of your life. I mean, I mean, yeah, I'm, I'm excited, um,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: but yeah, counting down, I think everyone, I don't know, for,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: for some reason, people around me are more excited than
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: me for now. I'm very excited. I know. I mean,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it would be so weird but also happy in a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: very happy tears sense to see you walking down the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: aisle wearing a bridal gown, like for real this time.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Right, I know. So you see, here's the thing, right?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I think one of the running jokes, um, because of
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the series Countdown do I do that I think some
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of us have been following on YouTube, um, Media Corp
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Entertainment Channel, check it out. My mom didn't have much
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: reaction when I came out in the wedding dress, to which,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you know, you watch all these stupid other reality shows
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and all that. The mom always cries, you know, the,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the bridesmaids will cry and all that.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: No such thing in person, um, and she explained that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: she's seen me in every kind of dress before. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: guess because of, because of our events or the nature
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of our work, right? We're we're dressed up quite a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: lot sometimes. So maybe the impact is not there yet
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: until the actual day.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: this means? What does this mean? During the church wedding,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: sit me next to your mom and I'll stand by tissues.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Oh no, don't worry, I will hold the tissue box
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: for her. You unfortunately can't sit next to my mom.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I can't. Yes, I know the immediate family, but I'm
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: immediate family. What? I'm the son because we look so similar.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: What were you up to over the weekend since I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: didn't see you for 4 or so days? Honestly, catching
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: up with all that was happening here in Singapore. Bit
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of an eventful weekend, to be honest with you, with
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: open inverted commas, you mean? OK, let's just summarize the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: biggest happenings and discussions on social media. OK, sure. I'm
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: going to call a spade a spade. Firstly, Amos Yee
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: getting jumped. Secondly, Disney adventure. Hey, the compensation.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It's actually very good. I think they have to, you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: because they, it, it was, it's something that you're looking
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: forward to so much, right? Can you imagine? Yeah, all
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of which we will touch on at just past 7,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: but for now, I want to keep things slight and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: just take you to school or work because we know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I think for some schools they're having the weighted assessments.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, so last week, I think I was chat, I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: bumped into some like a group of students and they
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: were telling me that they had math, I think was
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that last week. I'm not sure if it's over. Yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: it might be over. So I don't know what other
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: subjects are going to be touched on this week and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: for secondary school might be different. Can I ask which
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: exam stressed you the most?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Mandarin and math, but at some point, the math thing
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: became OK, um.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Mandarin, I continue to be stressed about during O levels,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and you know, you get the chance to take it twice, right?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So I took it the first time I passed, I just,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I just moved on because I think for some people when,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: when they decide, OK, Mandarin is also one of the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: subjects I want to use, they will retake it again
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to see if they can get a get a score,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: better score. I'm the complete opposite. I knew I was
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: gonna fail, I wasn't it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: But it's papers like math for example, right, where it's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a case of actually I can pass you know bare minimum,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: so I got to make sure I do it well.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: That kind of stressed me out and then the subjects
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I knew I was good at English and accounting, it's yes,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna pass, but by how much, you know what
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I mean and I guess with with subjects like literature, right,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: which I took purely in secondary school, OK.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't know which way it will swing because
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: especially for the open essay, right? That one is so subjective.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Like you don't, you don't know for sure. It's not
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: like math where you write an answer to a question.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Your answer is subjective. I don't know whether they're doing
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it the same when it comes to.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Structured essays. Study the whole book. Don't go in chapter spot, please.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I can't remember if I spotted. I tried. I failed everything.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Your teacher didn't guide you along with that. We, we
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: tried chapter spotting. Yes, I studied Russia and China. Sorry, no,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I studied Russia and the Germany war and all that
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: came out China.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm guessing you just sat there and took a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: nap lah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Mentally, mentally you took a nap. Close enough. Yes. Thank
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you so much for joining us here today. OK, well, um,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: with so many things going on over the weekend, one
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of which is actually Media Corp's Cloud nine. Later on
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: after 9, we're gonna have Robert join us in the studio. Yeah,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: so if you were there for cloud nine, firstly, we
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: say thank you. Hopefully you had a great weekend filled
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: with new music or familiar music from the likes of Max, Robert, Ozzy, 50/50. Yes, yeah,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and uh I believe.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Also, it was, I forgot who it was. Somebody sent
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: me a DM. They thought that we were going to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: be there for cloud nine. So, how come you and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Joakim are not at cloud nine? Because I think they
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: expected the whole station. Um, Joakim and I were there
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: last year helming cloud nine, and it was so much
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: fun that they brought it back for the second time.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: So hopefully we had just enough fun. We'll see if
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it comes back next year, and I'm pretty sure if
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it does, Son and I will be there. Yeah, we'll
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: be there for sure. But in the meantime, on the weekend,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it was my church wedding rehearsal.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: How was it? It was longer than expected actually. So, um,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I think we're good to go, but I, yeah, it
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: was funny. By the way, for today and tomorrow here
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: on the circuit, we might be extra hot with wedding
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: content because it's this week. I know, I know it's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: happening very soon. To be honest, I'm very sorry for
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: all the wedding content because I myself cringe at wedding.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Don't don't say sorry again as an outsider and somebody, OK,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: speaking as somebody who is not your friend for a while, OK,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: for the next.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: 2 minutes. It's easy to digest and you deliver, you
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and Jeremy have a very nice dynamic and you deliver
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it well. You know, you speak well, you actually lead
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: us through these situations properly and the way it's edited,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: it's not cringe. Oh, thank you. It's not those TikTok
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: cringe videos. So thank you for that. Yeah, no, no, no,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I mean it was it's been a really fun interesting
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: experience and um to the crew, they've been working pretty
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: hard as well.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: To our friends over at 8 days, the TikTok videos caption,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Can you please change? What do you mean local DJ?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It's our same company. She has a name. No, but
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: they keep doing that with all the artists. I don't
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: know why. Local DJ, DJ. But I actually want to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: give a shout out to Senior Minister of State, uh, Mr.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Zaki Mohammad. Why are you? No, because I was hosting
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: an event on Friday night. OK, I know I didn't
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: see you for a couple of days.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Um, and, and he was one of the guests of honors, right, um,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: guests of honor over there, and towards the end when
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: everyone was just socializing and everything, he came up to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: me and said, hey, we shook hands, no, chatted, we've
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: seen him quite often, right? bro.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Hey, and then he goes, he goes, What, your wedding
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: national event, ah? He's like, I keep seeing people reshare
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: on my feed. And I burst out, I'm so sorry.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: He said, No, it's quite entertaining. It's OK. I don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: mind watching it. It's quite funny. So I was like, OK, OK, cool. Yeah,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: by the way, senior minister of Zaki, he's very active
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: on social media, so he knows he's very up to date.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And what's his secret to you? This guy looks like
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in his 30s, man, but he's not.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Where's the fountain of youth? He looks really good. He
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: looks good.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, hi, it's Evan. Hi, Evan, good morning. You sound
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: like you just woke up. Are you on your way
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to school now? Um, yeah, I'm technically on my phone
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: right now at home because I listen to like this radio,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: like on my phone I download it. You don't need
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to be in school today? Oh, I do, I do.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: 7:30 starts at 7:30. 7:30 which school is this, Evan? Uh,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Jingshan Primary School. Jingshan, which area in Singapore would that
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: be in? Ang Mo Kio. All right, lah. OK, what,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: what else?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: What is good about your school that you would love
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to flex about on air? The teachers and like the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: environment around there. Yeah, like they're really nice and like
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: very encouraging and yeah. And I was gonna say this
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: is very near Cheng San Hawker Center. Oh, I have
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: no idea where that is. That's very good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: What song can we get you this morning and who
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: is it going out to? Can I have anything or something? Yeah,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you got it. That's coming up right now. Enjoy your day, OK?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Take care. Bye-bye. Bye bye.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Um, and, taking us to Yishun again this time, not
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: for any, any bad incident or anything, OK? I know
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that's always the stereotype that we have. Um, Yishun 10
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: has been something that I think our friends who live
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: around Yishun would recognize as quite an iconic building.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: It's a place where I'll always remember because I watched
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: my first two movies there. No, seriously, Batman Returns with
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: my dad and Sister Act with my mom. Wait, so
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you lived in Yishun for a while, right? You mentioned
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: when was this again? Like when you were when you
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: were a kid? OK, so 1988, my year of birth
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: till I was 5 or 6, 1994.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: 93, I moved out of Yishun. So, so you experienced,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I think, the very new developments when Yishun 10 opened
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: back then, it was 1992. Yeah. So I, I just
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: did a quick, quick search. 1992, they opened. They had
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: mixed reviews. Why? Because of the, well, people called the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: design too flamboyant, too loud. There was a lot of
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: neon lights, neon signs, you know, so I think.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was a little bit not within people's comfort
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: zone at that time, but when I looked at the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: pictures from inside Yishun 10, right, so retro and cool, honestly,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: do you know what I thought of immediately when I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: saw some of the photos? Stranger Things. Yes, thank you.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I knew you were gonna get it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: When I saw it I was like this looks like
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the set of Stranger Things because this is what a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: cineplex looked like back then in the late 80s and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: early 90s and I think maybe that concept was still
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: very fresh to us here in Singapore and it was
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: inspired by science fiction back then. You know, I think
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: um the designer himself actually said this was meant to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: be looking quite like futuristic. Yeah, I mean, in the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: age of Terminator, Star Wars, Back to the Future, Back
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to the Future? Yeah, exactly.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: So, um, I think visitors either loved it or hated it.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: They were, you know, impressed, most of them, I guess,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: were impressed, um, but for what it's worth, as the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: years went by, uh, they had to mute down the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: design because I think, I don't know, maybe modern design
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and architecture, it looked like it stood out too much.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Either that or the residents who live across the street
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: were complaining about the neon lights being too bright, maybe.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: So I think, you know, sometime in the 2010s or so,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: it got redeveloped, but Yishun 10 now is going to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: be completely redeveloped into residential and commercial buildings.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: And it will be business as usual for now, but
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it's time to say your goodbyes. I know, I'm sure,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. But the, the feeling I feel now, it's
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: akin to our parents' generation, for example, when they were
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: made to move elsewhere or when they're redeveloping a new
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: kampong Katong Shopping Center that very retro. I mean, they
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: wanted to redevelop that also, right? I don't know what's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Right now, but they did say they're going to make
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: some changes, so I don't know whether that's still a thing.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of schools. Now for Yishun 10,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: how it could be a commercial slash residential building, wow,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: whoever gets that condo, it's gonna make bank. You live
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: across the MRT. You live right next to North Point City. Yeah,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be, so I believe the same developers or
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: developers from Point City, they are also gonna be playing
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: a part with this residents.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Central and commercial building. And then our friends over at,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong, Fraser's Development, they were the ones
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: that got the um the bid. So they are very
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: famous for doing residential buildings. See lah, make fun of
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Yishun some more. Now they give you one desirable property.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Everyone moves to Yishun. You never know. Yeah. So this
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: hour and every single day this week, we have a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: lovely treat. Thanks to our friends over at SingTel. And
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: as you know, Joakim and I, we are proud Singtel users. We, we.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: We already know what's up with our friends over at SingTel.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: The moment we saw this, we were like, you know what,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I think you want to win it for sure. So
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: starting tomorrow till 17th of May, you can sign up
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: or port into the right Singtel 5G+ plan and you
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: can add a limited edition grab bag for just $59
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: but you get up to 4 times the value back. Oh,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be so cool. Look, I mean, we took
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a little peek because we've got a couple of grab
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: bags here in the studio.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: We took a little peek and trust us when we
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: say this, even though we're not allowed to say what
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: exactly is in it for now because it is your
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: task to kind of guess in just a while, um,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it's worth it. It's worth it. So in just a
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: while when phone lines open over at 669-119-87, we're gonna
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: give you three hints about the total value of this
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: surprise grab bag. We'll give you two options. If you
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: pick the correct one, you win all the items inside.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Love that. Grab the bag, watch the value.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And feel the difference with SingTel. This is about to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: be grabbed back magic. You think about it, right? Your
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: telco is always by your side, regardless of whether you're
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: with people or not. Your telco has to relay your
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: messages to other people, responsible for your phone calls and
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: all that and communication with people and even connecting you
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: with the online world. Exactly. So we want to give
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a big shout out to our friends over at Singtel
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: for coming on board this entire week. Tomorrow we will
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: be live with them actually in the afternoon. More details
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: on that later.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: 6 over at 313 at Somerset. But for now, how
• 14:07

• 14:42
  Speaker 1: could be related to lifestyle, fitness, accessories, tech gadgets, so
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: many things that could be in this grab bag. We'll

  Speaker 1: easy as that, right?
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Just listen very closely. We're going to give you clues
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: that will make it a no-brainer. We promise you that.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: For the last 7 years or so, OK, here we go.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: What grandfather's story is this? Actually not 7, for all
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of 9 years for our short circuit journey, OK, I've
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: been trying to convince Sonia, what to go is it
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to join me for a run. I did.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Once the stand chart thing in 2021. Yeah, we ran
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: 5 km. Yeah, well done and and they they did
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a live broadcast on Channel 5. I had so much
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: fun holding on to the camera and, and I think
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: along the way as well, the, the camera crew that
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: were from Channel 5 and CNA or whatever, they were
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: following us and because I was running quite slowly, it
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: was no problem for him to walk backwards.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very funny, is it? Very funny. Very funny. When
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: we come back, Sonia, I found the perfect run for
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: us that you cannot say no to. What? OK, there was,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: there was one that I saw, um, but not here
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: in Singapore. I think in France or something where they
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: run and stop at different vineyards.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: And you can stop there for for a while and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: if for example, if there are 10 vineyards, Sonia, you
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: won't be running after 2. That's true I know you
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: but it's happening here in Singapore. Mark this date down
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: July 5th. I'm not free. I'm blocking you. I'm not free.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I checked already. I'm not free.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. Still such a fun song after this time.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: It is, it is, but what's gonna be more fun?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: July 5th.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Please mark this day. I already said I checked and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not free. Are you sure? Yeah, I show you.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: OK, tell me, tell me what it is first. We
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: out of this, tell me. OK, for the first time
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: in Singapore it's happening. It's the Disney run Singapore.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: 2026 presented by Uniqlo. Oh, so it's, it's two brands
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: that we work with. Exactly. Hold on, hold on. What's
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the catch here? Like what is the distance? OK, so
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think they've released officially the distances yet. OK,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I think today will be when we find out, but rumored,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: rumored again, yeah, to be 13 km run, OK, and
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: 110 km run. Ah, OK, so 3 lah. No.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: We'll do a 10, but I will jog alongside you.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I volunteer to be your cameraman. Please, I can use
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: my AI glasses and phone. My pace of jogging, right,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: is your pace of strolling. No, no, I've seen you jog.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Come on. Yeah, you were walking.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: OK, and because I'm much smaller than you, like every
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: 10 steps, every 10 steps I take to jog is
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: your like two steps. Never mind, I have 10 km,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: 10 km of angles and multiple shots I can do
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Honestly, Joakim could literally set up like 3 camera angles
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and I would still not be at the finish line.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine doing a 10 km run and you
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: run past goofy? I mean, that's quite cute. That's quite cute.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Darth Vader cheering for you as well. That's, you know,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I might feel a bit more motivated if I see
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: like the.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Friends from Disney. So it's honor. I no, no, I
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: can't commit on air. I can't commit. Hey, I'm already
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: committing to a life with someone. Can you give me
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: less commitments this year? To our friends over at Uniqlo
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and Disney, you know who to find out is your
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: poster boy and girl for the Disney run Singapore 2026
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: presented by Uniqlo.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, if I can still wear a cute
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: outfit and run, maybe I'll consider. I wouldn't mind jersey
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: or a dry fit to wear and they do have
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: some nice stuff, yeah. OK, let me, let me think
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: about it. So again, I think early bird registrations starts today. Oh, already, uh,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: they have not released the website yet, but according to
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Uniqlose page and even Disney Studios SG, if I'm not wrong,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: they said, yeah, 11th of May is early bird registrations.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: So all the best. I'm pretty sure.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Um, loads of people will sign up the comments section.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: They were filled with Singaporean online personalities and everyday people,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: so they need to make this work. I believe Disney
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Run Singapore and the BYD Singapore International Marathon, these two things,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: highlights of the year, given how it's being staged in
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Singapore for the first time, it needs to work. So
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: that means the Disney one was staged in other countries before,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: apparently people are saying that oh they had one over
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: in a few months ago or something like that, yeah.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Hm, OK, still got time to think about it. Come on,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I'll consider. It's a 10 km run. Think about it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I'm doing the 3. I already told you.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Mhm
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: OK, if it's 10, I do 3, you do 7,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: can or cannot, cannot, it doesn't work that way. What
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: do you think this is sports.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: And um we already know throughout the weekends, the word
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: compensation was thrown around quite a bit. And unfortunately, it
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: happened to a particular cruise that we absolutely love. OK,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: so it's been 2 months since we've been on board
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the Disney adventure. Would you say 2 months, it might
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: still be a bit of teething issues here and there? Possibly, possibly.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I think also because.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: It is um the first time we're having the Disney
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: adventure in Asia, right? So, I mean, I don't know
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: what goes on behind it. I know a lot of
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: what goes on behind, you know, creating an entire cruise
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: line and keep it, keeping it functioning and they've got
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: so many different elements on the cruise. So, um, let's
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: break it down to you what happened recently. So what
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: happened was I think there was a sailing on May 7th? Yeah,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: May 7th.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Well, unfortunately, the ship was docked overnight because of a
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: mechanical failure. On May 8th, they announced, OK, we could
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: disembark the entire cruise because the cruise is canceled for
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the mechanical issue they couldn't fix overnight. But here's the compensation.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: You ready? They get full refunds.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Full refunds of prepaid and unused incidentals as well. Complimentary
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: shuttle to nearby hotels and just looking at the Marina
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Bay area. Where's the nearest hotel? Marina Bay a lot
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: of nice hotels there. Uh, you get US 500 per
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: stateroom for incidentals and 50% future cruise credit.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: So the next Disney adventure you book, if you use
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: that code to show that, hey, I was on board
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the cruise that was canceled, you get 50% off. So, yeah,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: that's a very good deal for for a Singaporean. That,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: that's a very good one because home is where you are.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: But for those who flew.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Oh. Wait, are the hotels compensated? Yeah, for sure, compensated. OK.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I think it must be OK. For those who flew
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: in from, you know, Japan, around the region, Hong Kong, America.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: It's OK. Take it as a time to explore Singapore
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit, maybe like 1 or 2 days, they
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: are more excited.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: For the Disney adventure to the point where I think
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: some of our local news outlets, right, actually interview people
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and then one person said, Oh, now when I hear
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the Disney bell I get traumatized. PTSD OK lah. I mean,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to this person perspective changed a bit lah. I mean
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: it's the one that goes like.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: That's the horniest. I mean, kick kick, am I, am
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I wrong for thinking, OK, there are worse things happening
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: around the world. The cancellation of this Disney adventure because
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: of mechanical failure. Take it as if Disney adventure was
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: alert enough to spot that error. I'd rather have that
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: than be stuck in the middle of nowhere. Exactly, it's true.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: OK, but to be fair, um, I'm sure that the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: questions that were asked to these, to these passengers were
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: specific to how they're feeling, lah. So it could be,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: it could be, it could be, and, and on top
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: of that, they must have spent a lot of effort
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: to schedule, you know, the entire holiday. I mean, if
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: you go for a holiday, let's say you, you go,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you fly to, I don't know, the US or UK
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: somewhere pretty far away or um.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: You know, Iceland or something, yeah, yeah, and then they
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: tell you the Northern Light expedition is canceled. Wow, they
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: are very sad. Exactly. You know what I mean, you
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: will also feel upset in that moment. I mean, you'll
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: be sad. I'll check my insurance whether can I claim,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: but I won't be that traumatized or what because Northern
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Lights and things like this, it doesn't guarantee that doesn't guarantee,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: but you will still feel disappointment. So on that note
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: of compensation, miss.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Sonia Chew, what's the best or the worst kind of
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: compensation you've ever received? Uh, you know me, I'm terrible
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: at asking for compensation, and I will be like, I
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: insist I need this compensation, and they'd be like, No,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: you cannot. Then I'd be like, OK, bye. I'll just
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: fade out times like these, your mom, yeah, exactly.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Uh, my mom is pretty good at it also. I
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: don't know whether it's just a talent that moms have,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: but um, I do remember this one. Do you want
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: me to share it now or later? Come, come, come. OK.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: So this was actually a, uh, a buffet that we
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: were at, OK, here in Singapore. I'm not gonna say
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: which one, but we were at, we were at a buffet,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and this was years ago. So back then we still
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: had a few like music festivals going on at the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: time in Singapore, OK. At least like 2 or 3
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: different music festivals in a year.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: So, this particular one always coincided with our birthday period
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: in December. So we decided, you know what, we're gonna
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: do like a group dinner like at this uh buffet
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: restaurant and it's a really reputable place. Like it's established,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: it's part of a big, OK, I'm not gonna say
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: that the more I say, the more you might guess it.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: So we went, really nice food, you know, awesome. We
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: had a great time, right? I went for the music
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: festival the next day, right? Uh, sorry, that very night.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: And the next morning I felt quite sick. Like I was,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: you know, going to the bathroom. I was puking, and
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I thought like, oh man, is it because I drank
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: too much? But I don't think it was. Like it was,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it didn't feel right. Turns out I had very bad
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: food poisoning from the buffet previous night. I texted my family.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I said, did anyone else experience this? I think my
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: dad had a mild version of it, but it must
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: have been from the oysters that we ate, OK? And
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I just, you just have to get out one bad oyster,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, so maybe just my luck,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I got it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: And that resulted in the worst food poisoning I got
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: in my life. One week, I don't know if you
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: remember this, I'm not sure if, I think we were
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: not co-hosts just yet. We might have gotten split up
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: in the middle. So then I, um, had to be
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: off from work for a week. That was how bad
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: it was. Almost got hospitalized. My mom wrote a very
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: angry email to the restaurant and said, how can this be?
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: You guys are like 5-star, you're reputable.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Do you know what compensation they offered? The next meal
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: is free. Exactly. You're kidding. No, I'm not. They said,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Here's 4 parcels for you and your family to come back.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: She didn't even reply. She was like, I'm not.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: She's like, we're not coming back. What are you talking about?
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: My goodness. OK, well, phone lines are open 669-11-987 or
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you can WhatsApp us at 90050987. What's the best or
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: worst compensation you've ever received for anything? Or if you're
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: bad at asking for compensation like me, please call us
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: too so I don't feel so alone. As Sonia answers
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: the call of nature, don't tell her I told you,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: but OK, on today's topic, we're talking about
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: About the best or the worst kind of compensations you've received,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: inspired by the cancellation of a Disney adventure cruise sailing.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I think it happened May 7th. The compensation though, I mean,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: if you're Singaporean, again, I'm of the opinion, yeah, it's
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: a very good compensation, but of course, if you've flown
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: in from overseas, yeah, it might not be enough to
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: rekindle that Disney magic in you because you paid so
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: much money to be here in Singapore, but hopefully the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: next cruise book.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: That you make, it's 50% off, by the way. There'll
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: be no other issues with that. But I wanna say
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: good morning to Prisha. Hey, 987. The worst compensation I
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: got was when I was eating ice cream and I
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: found a piece of broken glass in it. The restaurant
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: told us the best they can do is waive the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: charges of the ice cream in front of me. Oh no.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Another one coming in, I think your name on WhatsApp
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: reads is Sid. Hello, Sid.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Hi, Joakim and Sonia. When I was 16, I worked
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: with a fast food company, cannot mention name. I was
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: tasked with a vegetable shredder machine. An accident happened and
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I had one finger almost severed and another slightly injured.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: As it was company policy for the machine only to
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: be operated by 18-year-olds and above, I wasn't covered by
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the company's insurance, so the company covered my medical and
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: gave me a $76 compensation. Is it worth the blood, pain,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and sweat? Oh no.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Yikes. Uh, I'm so sorry, Sid, and I really hope
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: this fast food company has stopped doing that. Keep the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: calls and texts coming in over at 669-119-87 or 90050987.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: What's the best or the worst kind of compensation you've
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: ever received? Let us know. But when it comes to
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: being compensated for something, especially when, you know, you feel
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: like you've been wronged or the service wasn't good.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Um, you definitely feel like you need the compensation, right? Yes,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I really am collecting a lot of compensation stories here
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: on 987. OK, let's start with Yvonne. Yvonne says, Hey,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Joakim, I wasn't given my selected flight seat,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: which I paid $70 for via Trip.com. What do you mean?
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I wrote an email in.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I got $350 worth of Trip.com points without any questions, ask,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: or delay. OK, that's, that's a good result, right? Yvonne?
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: What do your emails say? Can you please teach us? I, I,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I think there should be a course, honestly. Yeah, OK.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: One coming in from an anonymous texter. Hey, Sonia and Joakim,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I dined at a long time ago.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: At a long-standing Japanese western fusion restaurant here, my kid
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: was served omu rice with a broken toothpick in it.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: He was 3, and it would have been really bad
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: if he digested the sharp piece. The server slash manager
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: didn't apologize. They didn't offer replacement of the meal. It
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: was only when I paid my bill that they said
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: they were gonna give us a 10% discount.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I said no thank you, and I never went back
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to the place ever again. I mean, it, it really
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: varies differs from restaurant to restaurant. I mean there were,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: there were some occasions where, um, you know, you go
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to a restaurant, sometimes the manager comes around and say, hey,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: how was your meal today?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And then if you happen to really not like one
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: of the dishes, do you find yourself ever giving actual feedback?
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I do. OK, so I do also sometimes, yeah, sometimes,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: but I don't expect a free meal out of it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you like, hey, you know, actually everything
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: was good, but maybe this particular dish was, it didn't
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: hit the mark lah. Sometimes they may actually
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Comp it if they decide, OK, maybe we could have
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: done better, you know, but that's really up to the restaurant,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: how they want to handle it. I actually remember this
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: and I was shocked that I did this because this
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: is what my mom would do but I was on
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: a date. Oh, I think 2 or 3 years ago
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: at like a Michelin star restaurant. That wasn't your last date, right? No, no.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Just checking. Hey, just checking. Disclaimer, just because I'm officially
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: single doesn't mean I'm not going out or trying things out, OK?
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Before you all think I'm really hopeless. Um,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: so at this restaurant, the, the meat they served, it was,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: it was highly raved about, but I thought it was
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a bit too salty, and my, and my date for
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: that evening thought it was too salty.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: as well. So when the manager said, Hey, how's things?
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I think he recognized who I was. So he asked.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I actually said, Hey man, you know, everything was great,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: but I think the meat was a bit salty. So
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: he took a clean fork. He tried it. He went,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. You know what? Let
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: me comp you a bottle of wine. Oh, I didn't
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: say no to that. Yeah, that's a win. That bottle
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: of wine will drown out your memory steak.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Which is true. Uh, we've got Kim on the line
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: right now. OK, Kim, what happened and did you manage
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: to get any form of compensation?
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I bought
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: my water filter, the dispenser, uh, it wasn't installed nicely and, uh,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: it wasn't done a very good job. The water couldn't
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: dispense out. Yeah, I called up, but there, there isn't
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: anyone picking up. They never do any compensation, and I,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I was asking for, for even, uh, further discounts so
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: that I can buy the filter, um, wasn't given.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Oh man, that, that, that's just the worst. You know,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: when you try to get a hold of their customer
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: service and no one responds, that's probably like the worst
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: thing that could happen. Oh my goodness, every time I
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: call a hotline for help, I want to give up
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: right here. The best or worst types of compensation you've
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: received before. You know how Singaporeans have the five Cs, right?
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: It should be the six C's compensation in there, yeah.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: How about that? Wait, so the 5 or what? Credit card, condo, cash?
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: What the other carry club. Oh, country club. OK, OK.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: So now yeah, compensation. You're only club I can afford
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: in my life, community club. OK. Such a dad joke. Anyway,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I want to say good morning to you, and I
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: think Sonia, you can relate to her text 100% 10. Morning, Sojo.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I'm seriously terrible at asking for compensation. Oh, that's me.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Join the club.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Once I bought a curry chicken takeaway from a mall
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: cafe chain that sells toast and coffee. Reached home, took
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: one bite and realized the chicken was not fully cooked.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I DM'ed them on IG with photos and everything, no reply.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Followed up again, then two weeks later they said someone
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: will reach out to you. Till today, there's no news
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: After that incident, my whole family unofficially blacklisted and stopped
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: patronizing them. The only thing fully cooked from that meal
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: was my disappointment. Aiyo, what a punchline though. Hey, you
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: know what, I completely understand what you mean because, uh,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I should say this on air
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: because my mom is definitely tuning in. A few months ago, OK.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I ordered. Why you want to laugh already? Can you
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: not give me that face? I'm just chuckling. I'm so
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: happy to be here. Let me just tell you first.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: So I, uh, I basically, um, ordered this brush, OK,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: it was a hairbrush. Can you, can you hear me
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: out first? the story. It was a hairbrush with red
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: light therapy. OK. It's meant to be really good for
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: your hair and your hair will be nice and thick
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: and shiny, OK. So I just wanted to like take
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: better care of my hair. You got scammed, but OK.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: You're not far from the truth, but so I ordered
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: it and because I was getting fed ads of this hairbrush,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: like on socials, I just kept getting, I think they
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: just know who to target, you know. So I got
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: fed these ads. I ended up buying one, OK. It
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: was about like $52.52 dollars. I said, oh, quite OK
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: for like a hairbrush with, you know, what red light therapy,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: all that.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Um, I never got a confirmation email after I bought it, OK.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I emailed them, I said, hey, um, did my order
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: go through because I didn't get anything. They said, yes, it,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: it went through, um, and it would take about like
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: 2 weeks to get shipped out. I was like, OK, sure.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: 2 weeks came and went, uh, and I was like, Hey,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: where's my brush? So then I emailed them again. I said,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Hey guys, when is it coming? They said, oh, it's
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: getting shipped out. Still didn't get any confirmation. It's been
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: 3 weeks by now. I said, Guys, I want a refund.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: They ghosted me.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I'm, I'm one to laugh. OK. I got ghosted. I
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: got no compensation. I lost $52. OK, at least it
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: was only $52 but still. Remember my neck pillow. Your
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: pillow is still not here, right? Still not here. It's
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: been almost a year, guys. Did you, the company didn't
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: give you any compensation. It's a fake company. See, see,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: so see stupid Instagram and Facebook ads. You laugh at me,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you're gonna, yeah, but hey.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Careful on Facebook Marketplace people. That's all I'm gonna say.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Across the reputable online stores, we got Kyle on the
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: line right now. Kyle, what happens? Well, my flight was
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: delayed for 4 hours. Nothing has been compensated except for KFC.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, Clearly that wasn't very satisfying and then what happened?
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I don't get any compensation at all and just a
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: cup of non-gassy Coke. So it's flat. Oh man. In
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: your opinion, what would you have felt was a decent compensation?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Like what would you have wanted to be like a
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: voucher or something, you know, at least a voucher, but
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: not a flat Coke. You know, I, I get it
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: because sometimes when there are delays, certain airlines might actually
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: offer like um
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: A shopping voucher or something for their online store. Using
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: my knowledge, I think maybe Kyle was flying a cheaper
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: airline because the higher ones might have given you a
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: snack pack, yeah, if you think about it a gift
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: vouchers to shop probably. Oh, I apologize.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: It was a poor choice of words earlier when I
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: said I didn't realize this was a bit of a
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: ghost town in Woodley. I mean, I was chuckling because
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: you know what Woodley was before it became an estate, right? Exactly.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: It was a cemetery. Yes. OK, just in case you
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: did not know and you're tuning in right now, um,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: over at Woodley Mall, which I assume could be one
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: of the neighborhood malls residents will go to for, you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: just food, shopping, essentials and things like that.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Um, there's been reportedly multiple closures of shops in Woodley Mall,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: and I think they've cited like very high, um, rental prices,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: expensive parking.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Um, that has resulted in pretty low footfall as well,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: and that's why the shops keep turning over and changing
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: to the point where I think in the area where there's,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: you know, the food hall area, it's pretty empty now. It,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be another pot. You're right. I think the
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Chai is the only one that's surviving OK right now,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: but other than that, it seems like they're trying to
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: revive it. But um, places like Burger King, Lee Brothers.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Shenko, even those units appear vacated, you know, Burger King, yeah,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: and this was as of 5th of May. OK, you know,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: it's bad when a fast food chain closes down at
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: a mall. Yeah, so, um, other levels appeared a little
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: bit more stable. Sometimes you don't know whether is it
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: the layout of the place, you know, certain malls are
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: difficult to navigate, difficult to access. I've never been to
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Woodley Mall, so I don't know. It could be the
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: layout of the mall, but perhaps maybe the next time
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: they open a new stall or new store.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: They should get people to bless the place and then
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: see what happens, you know, whenever they open a new
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: train station, they get like all, all what, like 10
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: religions or something to like come and bless it, right?
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're not saying anything, just, just, just get
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: it out of the way. Actually, customers are complaining that
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the parking layout is very bad and the cost of
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: the parking is what's preventing them from going there. So
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: maybe they fix that, they can fix the whole um
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: tenant situation.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: The developers or people who designed the mall. It is,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: it is, but you know, you and I know that
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: there are certain malls here in Singapore, seriously, the layout
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: needs to change. Don't get us started. By the way,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: all the word about the weekend coming to Asia and
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Singapore finally, we're so excited. So I am predicting early
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: next year because this year we've got a couple of
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: big acts already, especially BTS to wrap us all up,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: which is last quarter of this year, right? In the
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: month of December, yeah.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: that said yesterday, of course, to all the mothers, maternal
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: figures as well. Happy belated Mother's Day. Yes, um, I mean, look,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: if you brought your mama out, got her flowers, you know,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: brought her for lunch and all that, I'm sure you
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: had a good time. I brought my mom to, uh,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: one of her favorite places, Violet Oon. Praakan food. How
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: was the rim and good actually. I feel like they're standard.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not paid to say this, by the way, I'm
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: a paying customer at Violet Oon and
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Um, they're very sweet. They always say, Oh my God, hey,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: you guys are back. And it was so funny because, um,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: my mom loves this particular quay from, from Violet, and we,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: we usually go to the Ion one. So they brought
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: a platter out as a surprise for her for Mother's Day.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: So it's very sweet, yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, it
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: was very memorable. I think my mom and I, we
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: kept things quite simple. After a mass on Saturday night,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Sunset Mass, I asked her, what do you feel like eating?
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: She said.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Hi Tauola. Oh yes. Oh, that was when you sent
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: me the video bubble. That was your Mother's Day celebration. OK.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: She was so happy. And then there's a table next
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: to us. I want to give a shout out to
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: this young lady called Simone who was celebrating her sister's birthday. OK.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: And then when the Hai Tilauo people sang the birthday,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: so my mom joined in. I mean she was clapping
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: her part-time job, making new friends. Hi auntie, she's the
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: party starter side quest, yeah.
