- 0:10Speaker 2: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Good morning. Welcome to
- 0:13Speaker 2: the show. It is officially a Tuesday and um my
- 0:17Speaker 2: last day of work before I go off for the month.
- 0:19Speaker 1: 4 more
- 0:20Speaker 1: days till you're married and I am so happy.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Can we not turn it into an NS song? Like seriously,
- 0:25Speaker 2: why does that happen?
- 0:26Speaker 1: OK, missus.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Singapore's number one hit music
- 0:29Speaker 1: station.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Joakim's just run off to the bathroom for a second,
- 0:35Speaker 2: but this is my final day of work, um, until
- 0:39Speaker 2: further notice.
- 0:41Speaker 2: No, actually, I mean, till the end of the month.
- 0:42Speaker 2: I'll be back in June. So I'm pretty excited. Um,
- 0:46Speaker 2: I struggled to fall asleep last night. I think partly
- 0:49Speaker 2: because I was quite excited. This is my last official
- 0:52Speaker 2: workday on air.
- 0:53Speaker 2: And um time to sleep and take a break, and
- 0:57Speaker 2: I'll be back in June, that's for sure. So, I'm
- 1:00Speaker 2: saying this while Joakim isn't here in the studio, because
- 1:03Speaker 2: he always gives me like a lot of grief for it.
- 1:07Speaker 2: He's like, how can you leave me alone for so long?
- 1:09Speaker 2: I'm like, OK, guys, we only get married once, right?
- 1:12Speaker 2: I mean, for most of us, we do, and it's
- 1:15Speaker 2: a once in a lifetime thing. So give me a
- 1:17Speaker 2: chance lah, like let me go, you know, and he's like, yeah, OK,
- 1:20Speaker 2: but so boring here.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Yeah, you can text him and tell him to chill
- 1:25Speaker 2: a little bit later on, OK? So now that Joakim
- 1:27Speaker 2: is back from the toilet, can we talk about how
- 1:30Speaker 2: you forgot your pass this morning?
- 1:33Speaker 2: For the 100th time, OK.
- 1:37Speaker 1: It's gonna be the last time we hear you on
- 1:40Speaker 1: air for a while.
- 1:41Speaker 2: That's
- 1:41Speaker 2: what I said while you were gone and the reason
- 1:43Speaker 2: why I said that while you were in the bathroom
- 1:45Speaker 2: because I mentioned that you always give me grief for
- 1:48Speaker 2: going away for the rest of the month. I mean,
- 1:50Speaker 1: this one I gladly accept.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Oh, good. Oh good.
- 1:54Speaker 1: You're getting married, going for a honeymoon.
- 1:56Speaker 2: That was, that was not the vibe I got yesterday
- 1:58Speaker 2: when you had a mini meltdown in the studio.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Boring work the next few weeks.
- 2:05Speaker 2: It's just 2.5 weeks
- 2:06Speaker 1: anyway, OK, so I forgot my pass.
- 2:09Speaker 2: You forgot your pass.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Thankfully the doors that we use to come in the gantry, right,
- 2:13Speaker 1: there's the facial recognition scanner. Yes, yes, but to go
- 2:18Speaker 1: up to where the 987 studio is.
- 2:21Speaker 1: We have to tap our pass at the lift reader,
- 2:25Speaker 1: whatever they call it, the sensor, right, and to even
- 2:27Speaker 1: enter our studio, we need to pass as well. So
- 2:30Speaker 1: I asked Sonia, Hey Sons, when I go to the
- 2:33Speaker 1: lift lobby, I'll step in the lift, then you press
- 2:36Speaker 1: the up button, so the lift will go to level
- 2:39Speaker 1: 7 automatically. And
- 2:42Speaker 2: I was trying to process that.
- 2:44Speaker 2: But I didn't quite understand, but I was like, OK,
- 2:46Speaker 2: I'll just follow the instructions, so I pressed. Then the
- 2:48Speaker 2: lift door opened right in front of me. So I
- 2:50Speaker 2: was like, then
- 2:50Speaker 1: how? Yeah, so next time if that happens, if the
- 2:53Speaker 1: lift door opens and I'm not there.
- 2:57Speaker 2: OK, now you know I got to send it down
- 2:59Speaker 2: to
- 2:59Speaker 1: level
- 2:59Speaker 2: one
- 2:59Speaker 1: and then you faster press the button so my lift
- 3:03Speaker 1: can come up. But,
- 3:05Speaker 2: because you were already in the lift. Yes,
- 3:07Speaker 1: we
- 3:07Speaker 1: can time it on WhatsApp. Hello Earth to Sonia.
- 3:10Speaker 2: I would, dude, it was so early. It was like
- 3:12Speaker 2: not even 6 a.m. I wasn't functioning.
- 3:14Speaker 1: I should
- 3:14Speaker 1: write a book about you and it don't.
- 3:17Speaker 2: I promise, if you ever need to, I mean, I
- 3:20Speaker 2: know this is on national radio, but if you ever
- 3:22Speaker 2: need to do something, right, I'm there.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I promise I'll be, I'll be a good partner. No,
- 3:29Speaker 2: please include me.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Oh, now you, is it?
- 3:33Speaker 2: Please include me. I mean, I promise I can pull
- 3:35Speaker 2: it off.
- 3:36Speaker 1: You're, you're the kind of person, and I said this
- 3:38Speaker 1: to you in person, right? You're the kind of person
- 3:41Speaker 1: where a crime watch episode is usually half an hour.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Your episode is over in 5 minutes because the first thing, yes, alright, Sonia,
- 3:50Speaker 1: we have updates updates about the Disney run.
- 3:54Speaker 1: OK, they've released the official news already. This is something
- 3:58Speaker 1: that we can do, and I insist that we do
- 4:01Speaker 1: it to celebrate us and our
- 4:04Speaker 1: friendship.
- 4:05Speaker 2: You're just looking for excuses to watch me run.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I'll run with you.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yeah, like I mentioned, your, my, my run is your walk. Yes,
- 4:13Speaker 1: we can be like Simba and Nala running away from
- 4:16Speaker 1: the hyenas,
- 4:17Speaker 1: and Lion King.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Let me, let me check my schedule, you know, yeah,
- 4:21Speaker 2: get your people to contact my people and we'll see
- 4:24Speaker 2: where it goes.
- 4:25Speaker 1: But my people is your people.
- 4:27Speaker 1: It's the same person. Hello Denzel. That's it. When we
- 4:30Speaker 1: come back, full details about the distances and the prices
- 4:34Speaker 1: you might be paying for the Disney run
- 4:36Speaker 2: Singapore. I just have one question. Does it include Uniqlo outfits?
- 4:41Speaker 1: I'm sure
- 4:41Speaker 1: it does.
- 4:42Speaker 2: I
- 4:42Speaker 1: mean, if it's presented by a clothing apparel
- 4:44Speaker 1: brand,
- 4:45Speaker 2: will it at least include, like, I don't know, Arizon
- 4:47Speaker 2: singlet or a top or
- 4:48Speaker 1: maybe I don't know.
- 4:50Speaker 1: You can you can pick your designs. You know what?
- 4:51Speaker 1: I'll give you the full details in a while. OK, Sonia,
- 4:55Speaker 1: please say yes to
- 4:56Speaker 2: what
- 4:57Speaker 1: to the Disney Run Singapore presented by Uniqlo happening July 5th,
- 5:02Speaker 1: Sunday morning.
- 5:04Speaker 2: OK, how early?
- 5:05Speaker 1: OK, depending on what you sign up for. So there's
- 5:09Speaker 1: the one kilometer category.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Oh.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Stop it. Is that considered a run, that's
- 5:16Speaker 1: gonna be very popular with the kids.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Well, I definitely meet the height requirement for that.
- 5:19Speaker 1: OK. So that one flags off at 9:30 a.m.
- 5:23Speaker 2: OK,
- 5:23Speaker 1: that's forgivable, and you go there at 8:30 a.m., OK.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Maybe if you're feeling slightly adventurous as a kid, even,
- 5:31Speaker 1: there's the 3 k.m. category. That one flags off at
- 5:35Speaker 1: 8:30 a.m. You've got to be there at 7:30 a.m.
- 5:38Speaker 1: And then the one that I want you to sign
- 5:40Speaker 1: up for with me, the 5 km. category.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Thank goodness, I thought it was 10. It's
- 5:45Speaker 1: 5 km.m. We got to be there at 6:30 a.m.
- 5:48Speaker 1: The flag off is 7:30 a.m. So it's good because
- 5:50Speaker 1: the first train will be in operation already. Just there,
- 5:54Speaker 1: I think it's at the uh Sentosa area.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Yeah, so a
- 5:58Speaker 2: bit
- 5:58Speaker 1: more beach area
- 5:59Speaker 2: takes a bit more time to
- 6:00Speaker 1: get there. So maybe there could be a shuttle service
- 6:03Speaker 1: or
- 6:03Speaker 1: whatsoever.
- 6:04Speaker 2: I don't remember the last time I went for a run,
- 6:05Speaker 2: you know. I think it might have been in 2025. Yeah,
- 6:08Speaker 1: so start going for slow jogs for it and then
- 6:11Speaker 1: come July 5th.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Let's have a fun run.
- 6:14Speaker 2: OK, a fun run to me is 1 km or 3. OK, 5,
- 6:18Speaker 2: I'm not sure it's pushing it for me.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Can you imagine when the PR statement of the race
- 6:22Speaker 1: day happens, right? You see the 1 km run, all
- 6:25Speaker 1: the cute kids and one tall giant you.

- 7:54Speaker 1: The waterfront
- 7:55Speaker 2: area is beautiful,
- 7:55Speaker 1: right? It's a nice view.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Yeah, it is as
- 7:57Speaker 1: a, as a

- 7:59Speaker 2: So what's good about your school? Like what do you
- 8:01Speaker 2: love about it? The canteen, the people, the teachers? Tell
- 8:04Speaker 2: us more. The canteen, the chicken rice, the roasted one,

- 8:11Speaker 2: I was, OK.
- 8:13Speaker 2: So what song can we get you today and who
- 8:15Speaker 2: is it going out to? My sister says Baby Monster.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Baby monster. OK, I got you on that. We'll play
- 8:21Speaker 2: that for you in just a minute. Professor Zhou in
- 8:25Speaker 2: geography with us right
- 8:27Speaker 2: now.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Not exactly professor, but I was just doing a bit
- 8:30Speaker 1: of research yesterday and inspired by.
- 8:33Speaker 1: And events involving volcanoes.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty scary stuff going on.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Yeah, so I won't bring up the tragedy that's happened,
- 8:40Speaker 1: but I just want to draw your attention to what
- 8:43Speaker 1: is known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. So it's actually,
- 8:46Speaker 1: I mean, not exactly a ring, but in a horseshoe
- 8:49Speaker 1: shape that combines the regions of Asia.
- 8:54Speaker 1: A bit of the Americas and South America as well.
- 8:56Speaker 1: So Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, then we go to a little
- 9:01Speaker 1: bit of Canada, going down to America and South
- 9:03Speaker 1: America.
- 9:04Speaker 2: But would you say, OK, that they're saying this is
- 9:07Speaker 2: happening right now. So
- 9:09Speaker 1: the ring of fire, so you have like active volcanoes
- 9:12Speaker 1: that borders it.
- 9:14Speaker 1: In a horseshoe shape, so for the fact that on
- 9:18Speaker 1: the 2nd of May in the Philippines, Mayan volcano erupted
- 9:23Speaker 1: and apparently volcano experts are saying that the Kan Laun
- 9:26Speaker 1: volcano could be erupting as well very soon. Wow,
- 9:29Speaker 2: is it the timing or what? Like volcanoes are going
- 9:32Speaker 2: off
- 9:32Speaker 1: and then Mount Dukono happened 8th of May. Mount Sakurajima
- 9:37Speaker 1: happened on the.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Same day as well in Japan. So given how in
- 9:41Speaker 1: three different regions the volcanoes are quite active already,
- 9:44Speaker 2: it's almost like a domino effect like they're triggering each other. So,
- 9:47Speaker 1: so people are saying if you have plans to go
- 9:49Speaker 1: volcano hiking anytime soon, maybe put it on hold for
- 9:54Speaker 1: a bit and just monitor the action of the Pacific
- 9:57Speaker 1: Ring of Fire.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Mount Mount is not a volcano, right?
- 10:02Speaker 1: It's an active volcano.
- 10:03Speaker 2: Is it an active volcano? OK, I totally forgot. It's
- 10:05Speaker 2: been so many years
- 10:06Speaker 1: very
- 10:06Speaker 2: dormant, right? It's been
- 10:07Speaker 1: dormant Mount B and Mount Bro. I think is the
- 10:10Speaker 1: one that is, yeah.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, nature is, is all around us
- 10:17Speaker 2: and we can never know what might happen. The most
- 10:21Speaker 2: experts can do is warn you that this could be
- 10:23Speaker 2: a signal for things to come. So, um, please look
- 10:26Speaker 2: out for yourselves and.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Take care of yourselves when you're going for adventure-related
- 10:36Speaker 1: trips heed the warnings are open or closed for the
- 10:37Speaker 1: time being,
- 10:39Speaker 2: you know, I think the one thing that I always
- 10:41Speaker 2: want to have when I'm
- 10:43Speaker 2: When I'm on holiday, great memories and I want to
- 10:46Speaker 2: come back in one piece, you know,
- 10:48Speaker 1: yeah. Singapore and of course who lost their lives.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Sending lots of love to the families who are going
- 10:58Speaker 2: through a tough time right now we're gonna be spending
- 11:00Speaker 2: some time.
- 11:01Speaker 2: with our friends over at SingTel. They've got something really
- 11:04Speaker 2: special going on during this week.
- 11:06Speaker 1: From 4 to 6 over at 313 at Somerset to
- 11:09Speaker 1: which after we're done, want to go hi Tilau.
- 11:11Speaker 2: I was gonna say Yochi or something.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Oh yeah, wedding diet
- 11:14Speaker 2: downstairs. Yeah, no, if it's wedding diet, I shouldn't be
- 11:17Speaker 2: eating yochi.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Oh hi Tau
- 11:21Speaker 1: Tilau. Can burn all the I'm just kidding. doesn't
- 11:24Speaker 2: work that way.
- 11:25Speaker 1: So our friends over at Singtel, for example, if you
- 11:28Speaker 1: tune into us here on the show like what Joss
- 11:31Speaker 1: did yesterday, she called us at 669-119-87.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Every day it's a different Singtel grab bag. We won't
- 11:39Speaker 1: tell you the items inside, but we'll give you clues
- 11:42Speaker 1: in terms of the total value.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Yeah, so hints to point you in the right direction
- 11:47Speaker 2: on the amount, how much it's worth.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Once you've won it, then we reveal to you what's
- 11:52Speaker 1: inside these grab bags. But trust me, if for example,
- 11:55Speaker 1: you're porting over the Singtel or with the right SingTel plan,
- 11:58Speaker 1: you pay $59 for these grab bags if you want it,
- 12:02Speaker 1: but what's inside there.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Could give you 4 times the value of how much
- 12:06Speaker 1: you paid. Dude,
- 12:06Speaker 2: I think yesterday's winner was very happy with what was
- 12:09Speaker 2: in the grab bag. So we actually have a few
- 12:12Speaker 2: of these grab bags in the studio and we were
- 12:15Speaker 2: told not to open it just yet, until someone wins it,
- 12:18Speaker 2: but we can give you some hints to try and
- 12:20Speaker 2: point you in the right direction. We will. Time to
- 12:22Speaker 2: open up phone lines 669-11987 for your grab bag by Singtel. Again,
- 12:28Speaker 1: if you
- 12:28Speaker 1: just joined us, how we play this game is very simple.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Call us and then Sonia and I will give you
- 12:34Speaker 1: three clues about the total value of the Singtel grab
- 12:39Speaker 1: bag.
- 12:40Speaker 2: So you basically got to do some, you know, math
- 12:42Speaker 2: in your head and see if you can guess what
- 12:45Speaker 2: is the value of the grab bag.
- 12:47Speaker 1: It's only
- 12:47Speaker 1: after you win it confirmed, then we reveal to you
- 12:50Speaker 1: what's inside the grab bag and looking at today's prizes,
- 12:55Speaker 1: it is,
- 12:55Speaker 2: uh, pretty worth it.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Very good.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very good.
- 12:58Speaker 1: You don't want to miss
- 12:59Speaker 2: it.
- 13:00Speaker 2: OK, well, all we're gonna, we got to say right
- 13:02Speaker 2: now is give us a call 669-11987. This is powered
- 13:06Speaker 2: by Singtel 5G plus phone plans where the right phone
- 13:09Speaker 2: plan makes all the difference. So grab the bag, watch
- 13:12Speaker 2: the value and feel the difference with Singtel. Good morning, 987.

- 13:40Speaker 2: game with us, Juan?
- 13:41Speaker 1: Yes. So Juan, I'm gonna give you 3 clues.
- 13:44Speaker 1: And then two options about the total value of today's
- 13:48Speaker 1: grab bag. Are you ready? Yes, let's go. Clue number 1,
- 13:52Speaker 1: the total value of this Singtel grab bag is around

- 14:05Speaker 1: promo fare.
- 14:07Speaker 1: And the third clue, roughly a solid grocery run for
- 14:12Speaker 1: 2 to 3 weeks. One, is the grab bag value
- 14:17Speaker 1: $216 or $325? Oh, there are $200 plus. $216 is
- 14:26Speaker 1: your option and you are absolutely correct.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Congratulations.
- 14:34Speaker 2: You're most welcome. I didn't realize 35 cups of bubble
- 14:37Speaker 2: tea is about 200+ dollars. Roughly
- 14:39Speaker 1: around that.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Yeah, never did that math, but here's what you're winning. OK,
- 14:43Speaker 1: well, I'm gonna open your grab bag now. Congratulations. What's

- 15:14Speaker 2: edition grab bag for just $59. But as we can
- 15:18Speaker 2: see from here today, Joakim, it is worth like many.
- 15:20Speaker 2: More times the value,
- 15:21Speaker 1: right? It's almost 4 times the value. Exactly.
- 15:24Speaker 2: So please enjoy man. Thank you. OK, talking about Nasi
- 15:28Speaker 2: Lemak right now, let's go, which is one of our
- 15:30Speaker 2: go to things for breakfast even, you know, uh, I
- 15:33Speaker 2: love the breakfast of Nasi Lemak or maybe even for lunch,
- 15:37Speaker 2: whichever you prefer. Um, this millennial hawker, he's only 31.
- 15:41Speaker 2: He has come out to reveal how many plates of
- 15:44Speaker 2: Nasi Lemak he needs to sell daily to just break even, OK.
- 15:49Speaker 2: And I know earlier on you said one plate of
- 15:50Speaker 2: nasi lemak is about what, 350 or so. Yeah, because that's,
- 15:54Speaker 2: that's your usual hawker around your neighborhood, right?
- 15:57Speaker 1: How much is he selling one plate, you know?
- 15:59Speaker 2: OK, yes. So slight difference. His is a bit more
- 16:01Speaker 2: of like gourmet nasi lemak. So it's 6.90 per plate.
- 16:06Speaker 2: But his portions are big. So he's saying that the, the,
- 16:10Speaker 2: the ingredients and the portions are bigger, way bigger than
- 16:12Speaker 2: the usual nasi lemak that you will buy, right?
- 16:15Speaker 2: Um, in order to break even, he needs to sell
- 16:18Speaker 2: 40 plates of nasi lemak daily, and he works 11
- 16:22Speaker 2: hours for 6 days a
- 16:24Speaker 2: week.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Do some quick math, that's close to 20 or $280
- 16:30Speaker 1: a day. Yeah,
- 16:31Speaker 2: so after, you know, um, deducting all the costs required
- 16:35Speaker 2: for his ingredients, his produce, rental and all that, I
- 16:39Speaker 2: believe he earns about $150 per plate and it averages
- 16:43Speaker 2: to about
- 16:43Speaker 2: 2000 to 2.50 each month, but he has to work
- 16:47Speaker 2: 11 hours daily for six days every week. This is
- 16:51Speaker 2: tough work,
- 16:52Speaker 1: man.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Yes, for the love of cooking or food. Yeah, yeah,
- 16:58Speaker 2: this truly, um, and I think a lot of people
- 17:01Speaker 2: expressed concerns as well about how our hawkers are surviving
- 17:04Speaker 2: right now.
- 17:05Speaker 2: Um, imagine like your uncle that you've been seeing all
- 17:09Speaker 2: the time, your chicken rice uncle, carrot cake uncle and
- 17:11Speaker 2: all that, you know. Yeah,
- 17:12Speaker 1: I mean,
- 17:17Speaker 2: if you know something's wrong I'll be
- 17:18Speaker 1: very surprised. Yeah,
- 17:19Speaker 2: for sure, but we can't deny that rising costs has,
- 17:23Speaker 2: has caused a lot of F&B to close down. So
- 17:26Speaker 2: if you can this morning, if you're on your way
- 17:27Speaker 2: to work.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Say hello to your friendly neighborhood auntie, uncle, or millennial
- 17:31Speaker 2: hawker and, uh, or Gen Z hawker. There's so many
- 17:34Speaker 2: of them now, and show them some support.
- 17:36Speaker 1: Support
- 17:37Speaker 1: them at your hawker centers or even your. OK, so
- 17:39Speaker 1: for the next 45 minutes or so here on 987, uh, yes,
- 17:43Speaker 1: we are professionals, but I think I want to bring
- 17:45Speaker 1: a personal convo onto our show. Are
- 17:48Speaker 2: we seriously, I find that we're talking about my wedding.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Too much. I mean, look, it,
- 17:52Speaker 1: it's this
- 17:53Speaker 2: weekend, I know, and you, but you know me, I'm
- 17:56Speaker 2: like a damn person when it comes to like
- 17:59Speaker 1: you and I both, you and I both, so I'm
- 18:01Speaker 1: very sure if I were in your shoes, which are what,
- 18:04Speaker 1: 6-inch high heels, you know, I will feel that way too.
- 18:07Speaker 1: But again, you didn't milk it the last 2 years.
- 18:11Speaker 1: You only milked it at the correct time. So well
- 18:13Speaker 1: done to you. Um, yeah, as, as your friend and
- 18:16Speaker 1: the brother you never had, are you ready for the
- 18:19Speaker 1: change that will happen very soon?
- 18:21Speaker 2: Actually, I'm wondering what is the change is going to be? Because, OK, um,
- 18:25Speaker 2: I don't have that many friends who are married yet.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Two good friends are married. I'm sorry.
- 18:32Speaker 2: So my, my wallet is still OK, I think for you,
- 18:36Speaker 2: a lot of your friends have, you know, you've given
- 18:38Speaker 2: a lot of ang paos to
- 18:39Speaker 1: your
- 18:39Speaker 2: friends.
- 18:39Speaker 1: All of you for me, OK, miracle actually,
- 18:43Speaker 2: why don't people celebrate single people, you know, like why
- 18:45Speaker 2: don't I receive an ango for.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Just wondering. Anyway, sorry, that's besides the point. I, I
- 18:52Speaker 2: don't know if there's going to be like a massive change.
- 18:54Speaker 2: I mean, we've known each other for years, right? So
- 18:57Speaker 2: what's the change? I don't know. I'm curious. Maybe we
- 19:00Speaker 2: can ask our listeners to help me understand.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Yeah, because I don't know, you, you and Jeremy have
- 19:05Speaker 1: been together for 8 years.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Yeah, this year is
- 19:08Speaker 1: 8, but now it's like signing the paper.
- 19:12Speaker 2: By the way, I just received the marriage certificate, so
- 19:15Speaker 2: things are very real. Yeah,
- 19:17Speaker 1: OK, so how, how was
- 19:18Speaker 1: that? Did you get like,
- 19:19Speaker 2: oh, I was like, oh, wow, very real. It's happening. Yeah,
- 19:23Speaker 2: it's happening. So I have to print it out and everything.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Singapore crest is there, so you know.
- 19:27Speaker 2: It's from the official registry of marriages. Yeah. So things
- 19:32Speaker 2: are getting real. In fact, um,
- 19:34Speaker 2: This morning when I woke up, I wasn't feeling that well.
- 19:37Speaker 2: I think I haven't been able to sleep well the
- 19:39Speaker 2: last few days. No, not really. I think a combination
- 19:43Speaker 2: of like some stuff that has been going on, you know,
- 19:46Speaker 2: in family, and I'll share more next time, but I,
- 19:49Speaker 2: I don't know, like I don't think I have wedding
- 19:51Speaker 2: jitters yet. Or am I? Or am I? Because for
- 19:56Speaker 2: the most part, I've been really chill, right? And most
- 19:59Speaker 2: people have been saying like.
- 20:00Speaker 2: You're so relaxed about it. Maybe it's time I'm starting
- 20:02Speaker 2: to feel the anxiety.
- 20:04Speaker 1: So earlier you mentioned you had two friends who are married, right?
- 20:07Speaker 1: That you know very close friends,
- 20:08Speaker 2: yeah.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Has anything changed from them being a miss to a missus?
- 20:14Speaker 1: Like do you all spend less time or are they,
- 20:16Speaker 1: are they making more mature decisions now about a good
- 20:20Speaker 1: night out or whatsoever? Yes,
- 20:22Speaker 2: yes and no. Um one of my close friends ended
- 20:24Speaker 2: up having to
- 20:25Speaker 2: sort of relocate with her husband overseas. So yeah, we
- 20:29Speaker 2: don't see her as often. Um, the second, my other friend,
- 20:32Speaker 2: she's moved back here to Singapore, and I think the
- 20:36Speaker 2: main thing is that they have to make decisions like
- 20:38Speaker 2: together most of the time, or, or rather, they, they
- 20:41Speaker 2: do that by choice. I don't know. For Gems and I,
- 20:43Speaker 2: I don't know, we're so independent as people. I just
- 20:45Speaker 2: wonder how this label will change things, you know.
- 20:48Speaker 1: I cannot wait.
- 20:50Speaker 1: I'm, I'm looking forward to the first two or three
- 20:53Speaker 1: years with you and Jeremy as a married couple.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why Joakim is looking forward to that,
- 20:58Speaker 2: but
- 20:58Speaker 1: I'm excited for you. But you know what I want
- 21:01Speaker 1: to bring this to you if you're tuned in 669-119-87
- 21:05Speaker 1: or you can WhatsApp us at 90050987. Whether you're married
- 21:10Speaker 1: or you have a bro or sis who got married
- 21:12Speaker 1: or you're
- 21:12Speaker 1: single,
- 21:13Speaker 2: it doesn't matter really. What,
- 21:14Speaker 1: what was the biggest change.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Yeah,
- 21:17Speaker 2: or what do you think will be the biggest change
- 21:20Speaker 2: if you ever settle down with someone? Like Joakim said,
- 21:22Speaker 2: you don't need to be married or attached to answer this.
- 21:25Speaker 2: You can be single as well. But in your opinion,
- 21:27Speaker 2: what do you think will be the biggest difference and
- 21:30Speaker 2: the biggest change when you go into settling down? In
- 21:34Speaker 2: the phase of settling down rather? No, but what do
- 21:38Speaker 2: you think will be the biggest change for you, for you,
- 21:40Speaker 2: for me. Yeah.
- 21:42Speaker 2: Could it be living with someone because you haven't really
- 21:48Speaker 1: done that in a long time and OK, for example,
- 21:49Speaker 1: if I have a kid, then less gaming nights, maybe
- 21:53Speaker 1: the maybe the football shouting needs to stop as
- 21:55Speaker 1: well.
- 21:55Speaker 2: OK, your body clock will change.
- 21:58Speaker 1: So I think the ultimate question I have to ask
- 22:00Speaker 1: myself is, am I ready?
- 22:02Speaker 2: We will never be ready. That's my, that's my opinion.
- 22:05Speaker 2: We will never truly be ready. You just rise to
- 22:07Speaker 2: the occasion, I think. So I'll
- 22:08Speaker 1: still see a
- 22:09Speaker 1: jungle ballroom
- 22:10Speaker 2: 100% yeah.
- 22:13Speaker 2: That's not gonna change.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Because this is my final day here at work before
- 22:21Speaker 2: I go off for 2.5 weeks for my wedding leave
- 22:24Speaker 2: and honeymoon. So I'm leaving Joakim here, but the bright
- 22:28Speaker 2: side is Joakim has a holiday to look forward to
- 22:30Speaker 2: in June 2 weeks. So he's, he's also gone for
- 22:33Speaker 2: his own honeymoon.
- 22:34Speaker 1: Go go to Bhutan. Yeah,
- 22:35Speaker 2: he will be away
- 22:36Speaker 1: too, but not before I grill you and you're back
- 22:38Speaker 1: for one show. I'll,
- 22:40Speaker 2: he also want to see me, hello.
- 22:46Speaker 2: OK, back to the topic. Uh, we, we're outsourcing and
- 22:50Speaker 2: we're getting your opinions here today, OK? And your advice
- 22:53Speaker 2: as well. What do you think is the biggest change
- 22:56Speaker 2: or the biggest difference that happens when you settle down?
- 23:00Speaker 2: And this question is open to any of you. Doesn't
- 23:02Speaker 2: matter what your relationship status is, OK? Maybe
- 23:04Speaker 1: your bro just got
- 23:05Speaker 2: married. It's just an opinion, yeah.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Hang out with you anymore. What do you think is
- 23:09Speaker 1: the biggest football nights, OK. I want to say hello
- 23:11Speaker 1: to Kim who says, morning guys. Inevitably I think it
- 23:15Speaker 1: will be seeing your family less. My brother is getting
- 23:18Speaker 1: married next year and I always joke that we won't
- 23:20Speaker 1: be seeing him much after that,
- 23:24Speaker 2: I mean, I understand, I understand. My friends, I guess
- 23:28Speaker 2: see their
- 23:29Speaker 2: Their parents maybe like once or twice a month sometimes
- 23:33Speaker 2: or once a week.
- 23:37Speaker 1: I'm I am I am. I want to say good
- 23:41Speaker 1: morning to Alvin. Sleeping together and sharing one blanket, after
- 23:46Speaker 1: one week, we bought one each.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Oh no, because you keep yanking it away, is
- 23:53Speaker 1: it? Actually, I think now that he said this, this
- 23:55Speaker 1: would be my biggest change
- 23:58Speaker 2: sharing a bed with someone, yeah, because you haven't done
- 24:00Speaker 2: that in a while.
- 24:01Speaker 1: I've been sleeping on a super single all my life.
- 24:04Speaker 2: I think you need to change because it's reflecting in
- 24:07Speaker 2: your relationship status super
- 24:09Speaker 2: single.
- 24:11Speaker 1: It's not single, no super single
- 24:13Speaker 2: queen at least, OK. Then you find your queen.
- 24:16Speaker 1: My room knows your life.
- 24:17Speaker 1: It's a humble three-room flat, OK. I want to say
- 24:20Speaker 1: good morning to YQ. I think the biggest change is
- 24:23Speaker 1: when two move in together, but if you're already together,
- 24:27Speaker 1: then probably getting ready to move to the next step
- 24:29Speaker 1: like having.
- 24:29Speaker 1: A kid and all will be the biggest change because
- 24:32Speaker 1: there'll be expectations, new stress in the family and relatives.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Instead of asking when getting married, they'll start asking when
- 24:39Speaker 1: is when getting a kid. But other than that, not
- 24:42Speaker 1: much changes. Congrats to you and Jeremy.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, thank you. I'm actually curious because you know,
- 24:46Speaker 2: on that note, um.
- 24:49Speaker 2: No one has said anything about finances just yet. I'm
- 24:52Speaker 2: curious to know if anyone will be coming forward with
- 24:55Speaker 2: that soon because, I mean, OK, look, even though we,
- 24:58Speaker 2: we both have our own places, we don't have a
- 25:01Speaker 2: joint like home together, right? So it almost feels like, oh,
- 25:03Speaker 2: I'm just staying over his house or he's staying at mine.
- 25:06Speaker 2: And on top of that, like the finances, like we
- 25:08Speaker 2: don't have a joint situation just yet.
- 25:11Speaker 1: I don't know why I feel compelled to say this.
- 25:14Speaker 1: If I'm the one marrying Jeremy, I will not worry
- 25:16Speaker 1: about finances ever again. Just because he's
- 25:18Speaker 2: a finance bro, is it?
- 25:19Speaker 1: Help me,
- 25:21Speaker 2: I mean.
- 25:22Speaker 2: You know my character and my personality. I also need to,
- 25:26Speaker 1: uh, what's the word frugal. You're careful
- 25:28Speaker 2: with it. No, no, I wouldn't. I'm generous with the
- 25:31Speaker 2: people around me, I would say. Really,
- 25:34Speaker 1: I've not seen
- 25:35Speaker 2: anything. What do you expect from me? Money? What? I
- 25:38Speaker 2: just give you
- 25:38Speaker 1: money,
- 25:39Speaker 2: is it.
- 25:42Speaker 2: I'm generous to the people around me that I love
- 25:44Speaker 2: for sure, but I think in, in general, it's more
- 25:47Speaker 2: of like how do we combine our finances and make
- 25:51Speaker 2: it work, right? Because we both need to contribute. Another
- 25:55Speaker 2: series um with my impending marriage.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Why do you
- 26:01Speaker 2: OK, what upcoming, is there a better word to use?
- 26:05Speaker 2: My upcoming marriage.
- 26:07Speaker 2: I just like don't, you know me, I've never really
- 26:09Speaker 2: been the kind of person that wants to talk much
- 26:11Speaker 2: about it, but um so far it's been quite entertaining
- 26:13Speaker 2: for my friends and family to watch and follow, I guess,
- 26:16Speaker 2: and our listeners
- 26:17Speaker 1: that close to what, 20K per episode on YouTube for
- 26:21Speaker 1: a little bit more.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Thank you so much for the love, by the way.
- 26:25Speaker 2: I think we're at 50K for the first episode already.
- 26:27Speaker 2: We really appreciate that. Um, but, but you know what,
- 26:30Speaker 2: real-life questions here, OK, since I'm going off.
- 26:32Speaker 2: For my wedding leave already from tomorrow onwards, leaving Joakim
- 26:35Speaker 2: here alone. Thanks. Um, the question is, what do you
- 26:38Speaker 2: think is the biggest change once you settle down? And
- 26:41Speaker 2: once again, like we said, opinions from all people, not
- 26:45Speaker 2: just if you're in a relationship, you can be single also,
- 26:47Speaker 2: but we want to hear your opinion.
- 26:49Speaker 1: I think this is very tough for us here in Singapore.
- 26:51Speaker 1: You know how we always call our boyfriend or girlfriend's
- 26:54Speaker 1: parents auntie uncle? I want to say good morning to Ali.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Morning guys.
- 26:58Speaker 1: change to call my partner's parents pa and ma.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Oh, mom and dad, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 27:03Speaker 1: I can't get used to it. Got to treat them
- 27:05Speaker 1: like new parents too.
- 27:06Speaker 2: So how do you call them? OK, you call your
- 27:08Speaker 2: dad dad dad and your mom? OK.
- 27:13Speaker 1: What am I supposed to say?
- 27:14Speaker 2: I mean, I call my mommy,
- 27:15Speaker 1: like do a call your dad Joseph.
- 27:17Speaker 2: No, yeah, exactly. So I mean, I call my mom mommy.
- 27:22Speaker 2: I call my dad papa.
- 27:25Speaker 2: So then, you know, maybe sometimes for people they may
- 27:28Speaker 2: call their in-laws like mom and dad or if they
- 27:30Speaker 2: have their own way of calling their parents. I don't know,
- 27:33Speaker 2: could be slightly different. So
- 27:34Speaker 1: I kind of find a pet name for my future
- 27:36Speaker 1: wife's parents? Yes,
- 27:38Speaker 2: I think so, yeah, figure it out next time. OK.
- 27:40Speaker 1: One more coming in, we got one from Wait. Waiter says, hey, Sojo,
- 27:46Speaker 1: I think the standard vanishing routine secrecy.
- 27:49Speaker 1: From date to routine and everything is shared, but I'm
- 27:52Speaker 1: gonna expose my sister. She will say that it's the
- 27:55Speaker 1: night's sleep, the snoring, the lion will keep her awake,
- 28:00Speaker 1: and she's still yet to get used to
- 28:02Speaker 1: it.
- 28:03Speaker 2: Well, thankfully I've had some experience with this and apparently I,
- 28:06Speaker 2: I've scolded germs in my sleep before.
- 28:10Speaker 2: He told me quite recently, he said that I scolded
- 28:14Speaker 2: him for snoring and I I didn't even know. Was
- 28:18Speaker 2: he snoring? I guess, or was it subconscious? I have
- 28:21Speaker 2: no idea. I also work hard.
- 28:27Speaker 2: Don't know why, ah, joking always defend germs,
- 28:30Speaker 1: whose friend are you?
- 28:31Speaker 2: Whose friend
- 28:32Speaker 1: are
- 28:32Speaker 1: you first? I'm your friend. I'm your honest friend. Yeah,
- 28:35Speaker 2: but you're supposed to be on my side.
- 28:36Speaker 1: I am, but giving you the truth.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Raphael is on the line right now. What do you think?
- 28:42Speaker 1: Um, I'm married 10 years this
- 28:43Speaker 1: year. Oh, OK, Sonia, please
- 28:46Speaker 1: go ahead. Um,
- 28:47Speaker 2: it changes because you're gonna be spending 24/7 with each other.
- 28:51Speaker 2: I guess the change is not so much if, um,
- 28:54Speaker 2: you guys have been living before together before the marriage,
- 28:57Speaker 2: but it's really, really different. Every, everything starts to get magnified.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Right, um, whether or not you put back your shoes
- 29:04Speaker 2: in the right place, whether or not you squeeze the
- 29:07Speaker 2: toothpaste in the right, uh, place, or the toilet seat
- 29:09Speaker 2: you put your toothbrush in the right place or not,
- 29:12Speaker 2: everything else gets magnified 10 times. So things that you
- 29:16Speaker 2: thought were OK last time or simple or cute suddenly
- 29:19Speaker 2: turns out to be, you know, not so cute. Oh, OK,
- 29:23Speaker 2: so you know people always say that's the honeymoon.
- 29:25Speaker 2: Period, right? Like in a relationship, and it happens, I
- 29:28Speaker 2: guess several times when you just get together as like
- 29:30Speaker 2: girlfriend and boyfriend and then when you get married, you're
- 29:33Speaker 2: still in that honeymoon phase. For you, was there such
- 29:35Speaker 2: a phase and how long did it last? Um,
- 29:38Speaker 1: about 1 year until we got pregnant with our first
- 29:42Speaker 1: kid and then things got real.
- 29:46Speaker 1: OK la, 1 out of 10 ain't too bad lah.
- 29:51Speaker 2: No, but it restarts.
- 29:52Speaker 1: Another honeymoon period
- 29:53Speaker 2: starts, starts again at 10 years.
- 29:58Speaker 1: So are you gonna renew your vows? Are you gonna
- 29:59Speaker 1: renew your vows?
- 30:01Speaker 2: So we

- 30:16Speaker 1: I will share updates on Insta stories for you. Don't worry. Seriously,
- 30:18Speaker 2: I
- 30:18Speaker 2: have to tell you, there are some people DMing me
- 30:20Speaker 2: and sending messages to 987's number saying, Hey, where is it?
- 30:25Speaker 2: Can we come?
- 30:27Speaker 1: They got a call.
- 30:28Speaker 1: and the the streets, you know,
- 30:31Speaker 2: kidding, kidding. Thank you so much, man. You have a
- 30:32Speaker 2: great day, OK, Rafal.
- 30:33Speaker 1: No problem.
- 30:34Speaker 2: Thank you. Talking about the next step in life, when
- 30:38Speaker 2: you settle down, what do you think is the biggest change?
- 30:42Speaker 2: And once, once again, like we said, this opinion and
- 30:44Speaker 2: this topic is opened up to you.
- 30:46Speaker 2: No matter what your relationship status is, you could be single,
- 30:49Speaker 2: you could be ready to mingle, you could be attached, whatever.
- 30:52Speaker 2: We want to hear your
- 30:53Speaker 1: thoughts. Wanna say good morning to Sharon. Morning, Sonia and Joakim. Sonia,
- 30:57Speaker 1: I'm so happy for you. Thank you. Biggest change for
- 31:00Speaker 1: me is not having to share a bathroom.
- 31:04Speaker 1: I grew up having to share the common toilet slash
- 31:07Speaker 1: bathroom with my siblings. When I got married 27 years ago,
- 31:11Speaker 1: I told my husband the master bedroom toilet is all mine.
- 31:15Speaker 1: You can use the guest toilet. We just moved into
- 31:18Speaker 1: a new place. The same rules apply.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Wow, I love that. What a queen icon.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Need to learn in her footsteps actually, follow her footsteps.
- 31:28Speaker 2: I
- 31:32Speaker 2: never had that issue.
- 31:32Speaker 1: There are a lot of things that you might need
- 31:34Speaker 1: to get used to like sharing something. Well,
- 31:36Speaker 2: yeah, that's, yeah, exactly. So I think germs felt like
- 31:41Speaker 2: I had a lot of quirks.
- 31:44Speaker 2: OK, he said I leave a lot of cups around.
- 31:47Speaker 2: He called it a cup forest. What else does he,
- 31:51Speaker 2: I mean, he thinks I'm
- 31:52Speaker 2: messy,
- 31:56Speaker 1: obviously. I think there was Sonia was sharing this with
- 31:57Speaker 1: me in 2018, 2019, right? She was like, Hey, Jeremy,
- 32:01Speaker 1: because I left my cup.
- 32:02Speaker 1: In the open, right, he was like, Whoa, this cup
- 32:05Speaker 1: came from where in that very sarcastic tone, just to,
- 32:09Speaker 1: you know, remind you to clear it properly. Yeah,
- 32:11Speaker 2: exactly, but I don't, so yeah, but I've changed my ways.
- 32:15Speaker 2: It's no longer a cup forest. It's just a small bush.
- 32:18Speaker 1: It's a cup canopy.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Anyway, we've got Regina on the line right now. What
- 32:23Speaker 2: do you think? The biggest change for my husband and
- 32:25Speaker 2: I is that we realized how much bills we actually
- 32:27Speaker 2: have to pay. ST bill, electricity bill, all the SNCC charges.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Oh my God.
- 32:35Speaker 2: So all of a sudden, like the responsibility doubled, right? Yes.
- 32:39Speaker 2: All along I thought the electricity, electricity was free because
- 32:42Speaker 2: my parents have been paying it and they've not been
- 32:44Speaker 2: like talking about it at all.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Whoa, I did not know it was this expensive.
- 32:50Speaker 1: This is a rude awakening for you Regina and your
- 32:53Speaker 1: husband as well.
- 32:53Speaker 2: OK, what about the positives, like anything that you like
- 32:58Speaker 2: being settled down? I think I'm lucky I married a
- 33:01Speaker 2: great husband who does the housework for me, so that
- 33:03Speaker 2: is something like off my mind. Nice, where you find
- 33:06Speaker 2: this rare breed.
- 33:08Speaker 2: CMB guys.
- 33:10Speaker 1: How come these bagels.
- 33:13Speaker 1: OK, I'm putting that in my profile if I ever
- 33:15Speaker 1: have
- 33:15Speaker 1: one.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Can you? Um, we're just having a fun one here
- 33:19Speaker 2: today because come tomorrow onwards, I'm going off for the
- 33:21Speaker 2: rest of the month. I won't be here.
- 33:23Speaker 2: And Joakim is quite sad about that, but he's very
- 33:26Speaker 2: excited for my wedding. In fact, I feel like he's
- 33:28Speaker 2: more excited than me for some reason.
- 33:31Speaker 1: I mean,
- 33:31Speaker 2: for some reason, he's very excited,
- 33:34Speaker 1: all your friends and loved
- 33:35Speaker 1: ones,
- 33:36Speaker 2: and a lot of my friends and cousins and family
- 33:38Speaker 2: members flying in for this. I'm very appreciative. But uh
- 33:42Speaker 2: we wanted to ask you this question here today. Now,
- 33:43Speaker 2: regardless of your relationship status, be it single, attached, engaged,
- 33:48Speaker 2: about to be married, whatever.
- 33:50Speaker 2: What do you feel is the biggest difference and change
- 33:54Speaker 2: when it comes to settling down in life? One
- 33:56Speaker 1: coming in from Chris. Morning, Sonia and Joakim, when I
- 33:59Speaker 1: was moving in and staying with my wife for the
- 34:01Speaker 1: first time, the first few months were getting used to
- 34:04Speaker 1: each other's habits, adjusting our lifestyle. It is not easy
- 34:08Speaker 1: because we are too used to our.
- 34:10Speaker 1: life and now staying together. We had some frictions, but
- 34:14Speaker 1: we slowly sorted it out. Yes, finances too, like house, groceries,
- 34:19Speaker 1: utility bills, etc. who to get what and who to
- 34:22Speaker 1: split with.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's why I was like, do we set
- 34:25Speaker 2: up a joint account thing? I mean, I guess we
- 34:27Speaker 2: do for the household bills, right?
- 34:30Speaker 2: That would make the most sense.
- 34:32Speaker 1: I handle the electricity bills.
- 34:37Speaker 2: I can't I can't do that. I can't give me
- 34:39Speaker 2: an excel sheet.
- 34:41Speaker 2: I can't do the Excel sheet.
- 34:45Speaker 1: OK, OK. One more coming in from Felicia.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Hey Sonia and Joakim, from being single to getting married,
- 34:51Speaker 1: the biggest change is learning to share your love instead
- 34:54Speaker 1: of keeping it all for yourself. Marriage is about caring
- 34:57Speaker 1: for more people, not only your partner, but also both families.
- 35:01Speaker 1: You learn to love your own parents as well as
- 35:03Speaker 1: your partner's parents. It also means sharing your life together,
- 35:06Speaker 1: your finances, responsibilities, and household chores when spending extra time
- 35:11Speaker 1: with friends or working overtime.
- 35:13Speaker 1: You should also think about whether your partner may feel
- 35:15Speaker 1: lonely or neglected. Oh. I mean,
- 35:19Speaker 2: it does, the dynamic does change for sure. What do
- 35:22Speaker 2: you think changes the most? very, very committed. In fact, yeah,
- 35:29Speaker 2: in fact, we're so committed, we actually have a kid
- 35:31Speaker 2: and a fur baby.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Oh, how many years has it been tough
- 35:37Speaker 2: question.
- 35:37Speaker 2: Uh, maybe 66 years. 6 years. OK, OK. Would you
- 35:42Speaker 2: consider that still like quite new in the marriage game? No,
- 35:46Speaker 2: because I think maybe just now you mentioned Sonia, you know,
- 35:49Speaker 2: you've been together Jeremy for like 8 years. Like my
- 35:51Speaker 2: husband and I have been together for I think 8
- 35:53Speaker 2: years or so before we got
- 35:55Speaker 2: married.
- 35:56Speaker 1: 86, 14 years in total. Yes, 8 +
- 35:59Speaker 2: 6. It's been a while.
- 36:02Speaker 2: So when you, when you, when you transitioned into like
- 36:05Speaker 2: a married couple, was there like a big difference then
- 36:08Speaker 2: since you already knew each other for so long? To
- 36:09Speaker 2: be honest, like, no, but I think the thing that
- 36:12Speaker 2: I wanted to say was I feel like, you know,
- 36:14Speaker 2: whenever this topic of like marriage comes up, there's always
- 36:17Speaker 2: this a lot of like, you know, I guess fear
- 36:19Speaker 2: or a lot of, uh, you know, like this sort of, oh,
- 36:22Speaker 2: you know, you're signing your life away, a lot of
- 36:25Speaker 2: this sort of negative connotations.
- 36:27Speaker 2: To it, right? And I just wanted to say that
- 36:30Speaker 2: I really don't think that's the case, you know, I
- 36:32Speaker 2: feel like honestly life, married life is, is great, it's really,
- 36:36Speaker 2: really great. I, I feel like growing up I was
- 36:38Speaker 2: always a very independent person, you know, I've always taken
- 36:41Speaker 2: care of myself and it's, you know, being married, I
- 36:44Speaker 2: think it's really so refreshing, you know, it's very nice
- 36:46Speaker 2: having to be able to, you know, share life together
- 36:50Speaker 2: with someone, to go through life together with someone, yeah.
- 36:53Speaker 2: I. I love the way you put it, yeah, yeah,
- 36:57Speaker 2: and also share life burdens, you know, with, with someone,
- 36:59Speaker 2: you know, being able to, uh, you know, not worry
- 37:02Speaker 2: so much about money, being able to split the expenses,
- 37:04Speaker 2: being able to, um, you know, really just journey through
- 37:07Speaker 2: life
- 37:08Speaker 2: together.
- 37:08Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say one day I'll,
- 37:12Speaker 2: if you got any single friends,
- 37:14Speaker 1: hello, let's let's focus on you. Alrighty, new scams to
- 37:19Speaker 1: take note of.
- 37:20Speaker 2: OK,
- 37:20Speaker 1: and this one involves our local papers. So scammers are
- 37:25Speaker 1: posing as the Straits Times.
- 37:27Speaker 2: Oh no,
- 37:27Speaker 1: you know, hoping to get your subscription money and all that.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Well, they're getting really
- 37:31Speaker 1: creative. Yeah, so to which we're doing our friends at,
- 37:34Speaker 1: you know, Straits Times a favor by saying that if
- 37:36Speaker 1: you get any dodgy messages from them, chances are they
- 37:40Speaker 1: are not the local papers, OK? It's,
- 37:41Speaker 2: it's
- 37:42Speaker 2: funny because just last week I got a phone call, OK.
- 37:46Speaker 2: And uh this person on the line, it was a
- 37:49Speaker 2: it was not a number that was registered to my phone.
- 37:50Speaker 2: Usually I don't pick up, but I think I accidentally
- 37:53Speaker 2: picked up when my Bluetooth connected in my car. So
- 37:56Speaker 2: then I was like, hello, and he said, uh, was it, uh,
- 38:00Speaker 2: something from DBS and something. He just went on like
- 38:04Speaker 2: he just went on in Mandarin for like 34 sentences.
- 38:08Speaker 2: At the end of it, I just said Wapobing pie,
- 38:12Speaker 2: and then he hung
- 38:12Speaker 2: up.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I know that's funny. I
- 38:16Speaker 2: I don't understand cute and all that,
- 38:18Speaker 1: but, uh, be careful now because if you reply to scammers,
- 38:21Speaker 2: they might use your voice.
- 38:22Speaker 1: They could be recording your voice and they might use
- 38:25Speaker 1: AI technology to create like a bot or whatsoever using
- 38:28Speaker 1: your voice. But
- 38:29Speaker 2: honestly, the, the, to the bro that called me, I
- 38:32Speaker 2: think he was quite inexperienced because the moment I said
- 38:34Speaker 2: that he panicked and hung up. So I don't think
- 38:37Speaker 2: he was, he has a lot on his track record.
- 38:39Speaker 2: We all,
- 38:39Speaker 1: we all have a first day at work.
- 38:43Speaker 2: Should have entertained him a bit more. Hello. Coming up
- 38:46Speaker 2: in just a bit, we go from scams to pickpocketing. OK.
- 38:50Speaker 2: What
- 38:50Speaker 1: this one Crime Watch
- 38:52Speaker 2: Crime, brought to you by Crime Watch. OK. I mean,
- 38:55Speaker 2: it's not official, but yeah, maybe we can work something out.
- 38:57Speaker 2: Our friends from Channel 5 and
- 38:59Speaker 1: Inspector Gomez.
- 39:00Speaker 2: Yeah, my, you know, side note, like there was a,
- 39:03Speaker 2: there was a potential episode I was going to be on, OK.
- 39:06Speaker 2: And to which I said, am I the criminal? And then, um,
- 39:10Speaker 2: our manager said, No, you can't, you can't play a criminal.
- 39:12Speaker 2: We're not, we'll not allow it. boring la. Yeah, boring lah.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Then she, then I was like, so what do I play, inspector?
- 39:19Speaker 1: Sonia Chuw as the policewoman is so
- 39:21Speaker 2: typical, is it predictable.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Simple and typical. I want to see you as like
- 39:24Speaker 1: a criminal, like a master white-collar crime. Yeah, there you go, scam,
- 39:29Speaker 1: not scam like business crime,
- 39:31Speaker 2: yeah,
- 39:32Speaker 1: money laundering.
- 39:34Speaker 2: Anyway, OK, by the way, I'm not responsible for any
- 39:37Speaker 2: of those crimes, just FYI.
- 39:39Speaker 2: We say this too much, too casually on air, later
- 39:41Speaker 2: we get looked into. Um, but yes, we're we're gonna
- 39:45Speaker 2: zoom in on pickpocketing and it could hit closer to
- 39:48Speaker 2: home than you think, especially if you are shuttling up
- 39:52Speaker 2: and down Singapore to Johor. And uh this is going
- 39:55Speaker 2: to be very relevant to you, especially if you travel
- 39:57Speaker 2: to and fro Singapore, Johor, you know, whichever part of
- 40:00Speaker 2: Johor because it's very big, but I guess most Singaporeans
- 40:02Speaker 2: will go to like JB area, right? Um, and if
- 40:05Speaker 2: you take the bus, this is something you have to
- 40:07Speaker 2: look out for, OK?
- 40:09Speaker 2: Consider this a little warning, especially if you have elderly
- 40:14Speaker 2: family members around you. Pickpockets in Johor buses are allegedly
- 40:20Speaker 2: targeting Singaporeans and elderly Malaysians, even their own people they're targeting, OK?
- 40:26Speaker 2: They're targeting elderly Malaysians.
- 40:27Speaker 1: I mean, it's the elderly and of course the Singaporean
- 40:30Speaker 1: stereotype
- 40:31Speaker 1: is there.
- 40:31Speaker 2: Yeah, so, um, I think they've been active for years
- 40:34Speaker 2: and after much investigation.
- 40:37Speaker 2: Targeting foreign workers, Singaporeans, local elderly people, passengers who frequently
- 40:41Speaker 2: took the bus said, they even recognize the pickpockets. They
- 40:44Speaker 2: recognize them already because by then I think it's almost
- 40:47Speaker 2: like a syndicate kind of situation, so they really recognize
- 40:51Speaker 2: their
- 40:51Speaker 2: face.
- 40:51Speaker 1: Aside from your phones and your smartwatches, right, actually, I'm
- 40:55Speaker 1: quite surprised a crime like pickpocketing is still around.
- 40:59Speaker 1: Because, uh, who carries cash these days and even
- 41:02Speaker 2: in JB
- 41:03Speaker 1: you cannot pay using QR code and all that.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Do you think they're targeting other things, you know, like
- 41:09Speaker 2: your phone, your wallet,
- 41:11Speaker 1: I think,
- 41:12Speaker 2: yeah,
- 41:14Speaker 1: passport,
- 41:14Speaker 2: yeah, be careful about that too. So most crimes have
- 41:17Speaker 2: reportedly been committed on the weekends because it's the most
- 41:19Speaker 2: crowded I'm assuming and people are off guard, right? And
- 41:22Speaker 2: like I mentioned earlier, there was actually a situation where
- 41:25Speaker 2: someone's passport got stolen.
- 41:27Speaker 2: I'm not sure whether it's a Singaporean person, might be,
- 41:30Speaker 2: but there's plenty of investigations going on now, and I
- 41:33Speaker 2: think the bus operator, they're, they're working together with the
- 41:36Speaker 2: bus operating service as well, because by then, you know,
- 41:39Speaker 2: the bus driver will recognize this, right? So I wonder
- 41:42Speaker 2: what's going on there. Let's, let's see if they managed to,
- 41:45Speaker 2: to sort it
- 41:45Speaker 2: out.
- 41:46Speaker 1: Best to bring a shirt zippers to put in like
- 41:49Speaker 1: an
- 41:49Speaker 2: inner pocket.
- 41:51Speaker 1: Yeah, all those like from so you can buy those
- 41:54Speaker 1: safety sling pouches and put it inside you as well.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Yeah, just be careful, be careful. You don't want to
- 41:59Speaker 2: have a situation where you lose stuff. I mean, has
- 42:02Speaker 2: lost some items, but not, not through pickpocketing, right? No,
- 42:05Speaker 2: that's just my clumsiness. Yeah. So a while back in Milan,
- 42:09Speaker 2: I was walking about and you know, it's quite, quite
- 42:12Speaker 2: popular for pickpockets too.
- 42:14Speaker 2: And I was carrying this small sling bag, but it
- 42:18Speaker 2: was purely for fashion. Like there was no nothing inside.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Did you feel it? Someone actually unlocked the, so you
- 42:24Speaker 2: know some of the clasp, you just twist it and
- 42:26Speaker 2: then it opens the flap, right? So when I locked it,
- 42:30Speaker 2: when I walked around, I, I felt something and the
- 42:33Speaker 2: flap was open. So then when I looked, I was like,
- 42:35Speaker 2: ha ha, got you, inside got nothing.
- 42:38Speaker 1: You are lucky there was nothing
- 42:40Speaker 2: inside. Yeah, I intentionally wore it as part of my outfit. Yeah.
- 42:44Speaker 1: I'm glad I brought my mom to Italy, right? I
- 42:46Speaker 1: was next to her. I did not let her out
- 42:48Speaker 1: of my sight. I stuck to her like glue. I
- 42:50Speaker 1: carry all the valuables inside me. Yeah,
- 42:52Speaker 2: because sometimes the elderly and our parents can be a
- 42:55Speaker 2: bit blur. So,
- 42:56Speaker 1: so all was good,
- 42:57Speaker 2: thankfully. Yeah, yeah.
- 42:58Speaker 1: Again, don't forget, starting tomorrow we will be on my
- 43:01Speaker 1: own for a while.
- 43:02Speaker 2: OK, we know.
- 43:04Speaker 2: Enough about that. Enough.
- 43:06Speaker 2: OK,
- 43:07Speaker 1: that's it. Interesting happening in China and I want to
- 43:14Speaker 1: share this whole thing with you.
- 43:16Speaker 1: Where it might give you outrage but also just make
- 43:19Speaker 1: you go
- 43:19Speaker 2: like a face palm or no?
- 43:21Speaker 1: Yeah, so apparently there was a visually impaired woman walking
- 43:26Speaker 1: down a pedestrian path OK and she's visually impaired. In
- 43:31Speaker 1: the CCTV footage, you can see clearly she's holding on
- 43:34Speaker 1: to the cane, right?
- 43:37Speaker 1: A scooter rider hits her from behind, behind, yeah, and
- 43:42Speaker 1: you can see in the footage she was actually crawling
- 43:44Speaker 1: to find her cane.
- 43:46Speaker 2: Oh my God.
- 43:46Speaker 1: While that was happening, the scooter rider was scolding her la,
- 43:51Speaker 1: using the phrase, can you not see?
- 43:55Speaker 1: Yeah, something, something's just by itself, you
- 43:58Speaker 2: know.
- 44:01Speaker 2: I just want a face palm. It's like you don't
- 44:02Speaker 2: know whether to laugh or cry, man. Seriously, what's wrong
- 44:04Speaker 2: with this guy? trying to shame and all that. Like
- 44:05Speaker 2: you mentioned, he was captured on CCTV right it's so
- 44:16Speaker 2: heavily surveillance everywhere.
- 44:17Speaker 1: Everything is right
- 44:18Speaker 1: here. I'm showing you the pictures. Oh
- 44:20Speaker 2: my gosh. So
- 44:21Speaker 1: I think the lady has come out to say something
- 44:23Speaker 1: about it as well to which I can't fully translate
- 44:25Speaker 1: it because Mandarin is that.
- 44:27Speaker 1: Yeah, no, just a picture of her. Oh,
- 44:29Speaker 2: what was the words? Let me see if I can
- 44:31Speaker 2: read it.
- 44:33Speaker 1: The interview is a different
- 44:33Speaker 2: video. Oh, OK, not the Chinese words. No, no, no,
- 44:37Speaker 1: no, yes.
- 44:38Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, Cal. I'll show you one.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Hold on, wait, wait, OK.
- 44:43Speaker 2: Niren,
- 44:45Speaker 2: wait,
- 44:48Speaker 2: it's not. OK, hi.
- 44:53Speaker 2: Beijing Beijing Beijing, the pangpian, the skan luma, yes,
- 45:02Speaker 1: you're just butchering it now. OK,
- 45:04Speaker 2: enough. This is where I say goodbye for the rest
- 45:07Speaker 2: of May
- 45:07Speaker 1: actually hang on, hang on.
