  Speaker 1: 7, wake up.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Up next to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. After being out for
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: three days, fighting, I meant to say fighting influenza B.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It is good to be back here on 987. I'll
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: give you the full details about my battle in just
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a bit here on the shock circuit. Stay with us.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Great to be back with you. Rather, after a really
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: immense battle with influenza B again at just past 7 a.m.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I'll share with you my entire journey.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: But I've been telling friends and family this, it definitely
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: feels a lot worse than COVID. No, I kid you not.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But hey, on the bright side, it was raining almost
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the whole of last night, I would say in the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Bishan area. Hopefully for your area as well, and it's
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: given us a very nice cool start to Monday morning.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And as I read the PSI forecast, it looks like
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we're in the green for a while. It ranges between
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: 70 to 100.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So hopefully you have some activities planned with friends and family,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: take full advantage of the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say permanent yet, but maybe say
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: temporary clean air, because looking at some of the hotspots
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that's coming off from our neighboring areas, yeah, there's one
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: dense haze part where if the winds are not to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: our favor, it just might blow back to Singapore again.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: So again, if you want your full details and your
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: full breakdowns, please go on to our friends over at hayes.gov.sg.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It seems like I've missed a lot over the last
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: 3 or 4 days, not with you here on 987,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: but not to worry, we'll summarize the past weekend as well.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Loads of things were going down here in Singapore and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to you, if you still took part in the Garmin
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: run yesterday, if you're supposed to do the half marathon category, well,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: they brought it back down to 10 km because of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the haze and all that, but if you still did it,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: well done to you.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Hopefully, you ran your best. I've been seeing some stories
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of people's personal best being shown off online and on
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: social media, as you should, by the way. I wish
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I was there with you, but yeah, uh, given how
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I just recovered from influenza B and all that, I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: think better not. I.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: To just take my time to go back into preparing
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: for the BYD full marathon. That's happening maybe say in
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: slightly over a month's time, December 4th, 5th, and 6th,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: so please train well for that and may the weather
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: be in our favor. If not,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I guess indoor running has to stay for a while.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: If you just joined us on this Monday, we say
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: hello and it's good to be back here on 987
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: as well. That's it. One of my favorite talk shows
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: is the Graham Norton Show, and because Graham Norton is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: so flamboyantly and unapologetically himself as a host, and whoever
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: he interviews, there's always a rose session guaranteed.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And he's able to get them to tell the most
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: ridiculous and funny stories in their lives so far. So
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I think for this session, it was Robert Irwin.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: He he had Hannah Waddingham. If you follow Ted Lasso,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you know that she plays Rebecca. There was Cate Blanchett
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and the Prince himself, Prince William, actually joined in on
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the talk show panel, and this was where he told
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: a story that most people did not expect. Have a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: listen to this. Yeah, being a policeman, I thought was
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: quite cool, and then I went through a phase where
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be a DJ which didn't go very well.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And I came up with a name. I, I was
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: called DJ Zara with an X. It wasn't good. But
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: here's the thing, he did want to become a DJ.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: That means he must have had practice maybe during his
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: uni days or did he go undercover to some club
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in the UK or maybe say in Europe and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Try his DJing skills. You never know. You could've been
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: at a party that Prince William was actually known as
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: DJ Zara with an X. Imagine this. You are being
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: just 20 years old. You're only just 20 years old
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and you're already among the greats when it comes to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Formula One.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: You already have one hand on the world driver's title,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: so congratulations to Kimmy and Tonelli for winning the American
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Grand Prix in Austin. And in case you missed the race,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: here's what happened towards the end of it, the winning
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: commentary for Kimmy and Tonelli.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Now though, the lone star in the Lone Star State
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: is Kimmy Antonelli, who's going round the final corner to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: win the US Grand Prix in 2026 and place yet
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: another hand tentatively by the world championship trophy. Nice work, Kimmy.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: That was a beautiful drive, mate. Awesome job by strategy.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Perfectly executed race. Well done, mate.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Yes!
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So he has a chance to actually win it for
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: real at the Mexican Grand Prix happening next weekend. Let's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: see what happens. Again, congratulations to Kimmy and Tonelli. Full highlights,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I think of the Austin Grand Prix available for you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: now on YouTube if you have maybe say almost 10
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: minutes to spare. And I do want to give a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: big shout out to Anne Nicole Lex, as well as
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to boss Janice here on 987. Thank you very much.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And yeah, if you've been following us for the entire
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: morning show, not just today, but maybe say the whole
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of last week as well, you would have heard me
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: on Monday and Tuesday, and then Wednesday, it was Sonia
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: on her own. Thursday and Friday, it was Anne Nicole
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: covering for us because Sonia's in Taipei for a holiday
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and she's back with us tomorrow morning. For yours truly,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I think this began for me on Monday.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: where I started to get a little bit of chills,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: but was still strong enough to come to work and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: do my show and all that. Tuesday night, that was
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: where it hit.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: had a high fever, nose was running, my chest was tight,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and for every 5 steps I took, I felt like collapsing. I,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I kid you not. Went to my nearest doctor and yep,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't know there was now a test kit where
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you could just, not just test for COVID, you could
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: test for 3 other types of flus as well. So
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: there was influenza A or B, there was RSV and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: 1 other flu, which I can't really recall, and true enough,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I had influenza B and look,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It, it, it felt like hell. I, I'm gonna be
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: absolutely honest with you. The doctor prescribed me this medication
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: called Tamiflu, where one of the side effects of this
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: medication is insomnia. So, night one all the way till
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: night 4, I, I took the dosage in the morning,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: but yes, I think the meds were so strong that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I couldn't sleep at night. I kept waking up and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: it really felt like hell. My chest was tight, it
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was burning whenever I coughed, the fever was still there,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the chills were there.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And I officially, at least in my point of view,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: say that influenza B, going through it is worse than COVID, really.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: At least COVID, um, you were able to rest for
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a little while, but for influenza B, really the medication
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: was that strong and I was just kept awake. So,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I think it was on Saturday where I felt OK.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I was slowly getting better and yesterday was just
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: The final day, the tail end of it. I'm still coughing,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: still a little bit nasal, but strong enough to be
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: back at work and I'm
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Happy to be here because spending 3 days at home
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: doing absolutely nothing, it was actually painful for me. So,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: there you go. Please get yourself checked. If, for example,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you do feel like a cold or a flu that's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: oncoming in your body system, just make sure you go
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: get yourself checked and yeah, really not to sound like
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a worried parent, but stock up on your vitamin C.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: When we come back though, let's give you some highlights
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: on whatever happened in Jakarta for yay.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Previously known as Kanye West, and if you're a Kanye
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: West fan, otherwise he's now known as Yay, you might
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: have made the trip to Indonesia to catch his concert,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: his only Southeast Asian stop when it comes to the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: bully tour, and I was watching all the highlights of
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: my friends who were there. I want to give a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: shout out to people like Faka Faz, for example. He
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: was there. And this video that I'm about to play,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: maybe say close to 30 seconds off for you.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Was Kanye West actually making the entire 78,000 strong crowd
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: sing Heartless, not once, not twice, but 8 times. Shout
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: out DJ Jade Rasi for posting this video on her socials.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: It's since gone viral. Have a listen to it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: So, on the screen, you could see him looking visibly upset,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: but that's Kanye West's default setting face. But I think
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: deep down he was having fun because on social media,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: people were saying, hey, yay, how can you troll the Indonesian.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Crowd. How, how can you troll 78,000 people strong? Yay
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: has since responded, and I can't really read to you
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the full tweet, but he said he was feeling the vibe,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and that's what we call rock and roll. So yeah,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: he was definitely enjoying it. And look, if your stage
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: set is yourself on top of a projection that's the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: entire world.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Look, that's Kanye West's things, and that's what Jay does best,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and he's warned us about it. He says he feels
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: on top of the world from all his previous songs
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and now that he actually does it for a stage set.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: That's one amazing thing that only Kanye West is.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: capable of doing was just catching up with all the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: news the past weekend here in Singapore and whatever's happening
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: internationally as well. All sorts of things happening in Paris, France,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: all the protests, and then, of course, when it comes
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: What our neighbors do might affect us here in Singapore.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Something about gas supply being cut from you know who.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I won't touch on too much of that. The full
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: article is available for you on Channel News Asia. And then,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: this video has kind of since gone viral on social
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: media and it's become a mystery. It involves what looks
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: like to be a teenage boy, driving a bus.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: In a heavy vehicle car park here in Singapore, it's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: circulating and the caption of the video says, Welcome on
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: board bus 67. So, it's not the actual bus number, no,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I think the the OP might have used the 67 meme,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and because he's a teenage boy in glasses.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Driving the bus and all that. So yeah, it's kind
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of gone viral. So the big mystery is how did
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: they even gain access to the bus? Is that even
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: a teenager, because these days people could be 21 and 22,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: but they still look 14, must be very good skincare.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: But of course, the comments section, some of them are saying,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: To this boy's credit, he drives better than some actual
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: bus drivers here in Singapore, and at least he doesn't zigzag,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and people are saying, how did he even get access
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and why is this even posted online? And now because
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: of this video,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: There's a manhunt underway for those responsible, and let's see
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: what happens. Yeah. If you want to have a watch
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and judge the driving skills, even though it should not happen,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I repeat, I emphasize, it should not happen. Uh, again,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: just simply do a search on TikTok, YouTube or Instagram reels.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: It's there for you.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And I must actually say, it's quite good driving, and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I would think that for us Singaporeans, we are a
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: patient bunch. And then, sometimes when it comes to a sound,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a simple sound that might trigger you, and all of
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a sudden, all patience goes out the window.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: We could be talking about drilling sounds. Someone doing home
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: renovations or maybe say your block could be going through HIP.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: It could be the sound of the crows, or the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: koel bird just waking you up in the morning at
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: 4 a.m. for no apparent reason, or maybe in present day,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: it could be the sound of this.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people playing pickleball and you're like, hey, hello, it's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: too close to where I live. Go and play somewhere else,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you know. Again, it's an ongoing debate here on social media. So,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I want to open up the phone lines again over
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: at 669-11-987 or you can WhatsApp us at 90050987. Maybe
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I can do a survey for you here on 987.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: What is the one sound that triggers you the most?
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: It could be anything, really.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Just to know what might throw your patience out the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: window as well. And if we do like your answer,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: or if you're able to relate to it, what's coming
• 13:29

• 14:10
  Speaker 1: strip loin and tiramisu. There you go. So, 669-11987. Call
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: us or WhatsApp us 90050987. The one sound that you
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: hear here in our country and it just triggers you.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: On the topic of the one sound that triggers you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore, the one sound, the moment you hear it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Your patience wears thin, it goes out the window, you
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: just go, Oh, please stop. It could be a battle
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: between renovation works, maybe even your neighbors playing pickleball, or
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the birds. 669-119-87 to call us or WhatsApp us at 90050987.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I want to say good morning to WL on WhatsApp.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: You type, hey Joakim, people talking loudly or switching on
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: their speakers loudly in public transport and or at the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: hawker center's food court. Now the situation is much better,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: but I realize the one thing that irritates me more
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: is them turning the volume to not so loud, but
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you can still hear it. It's like a background mumbling
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: sound that irks me to the max, and it's usually
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: these AI dramas. Super annoying and very hard to.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: No, thank you so much for your text WL. Go
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to the phone lines, Alvin, what's your story? OK, and
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: it is the fingernails, especially when you're on public transport,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you know, and then they start to flicker with their fingernails.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: It really annoys me. OK, wait, uh, when you say
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: flicker as in like use their hands and do it,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: or do they actually cut their fingernails using the fingernail cutter?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: No, so they use one of their fingers and then
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: uh they flick their nail with another fingernail. I see,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: they pick on it. There you go. Thank you so much.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your call. Take care, Alvin. Bye-bye. Again,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: if you just joined us, I would think for us Singaporeans,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: we we we could be a patient bunch. Majority of
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: us are patient, and then maybe say you think to yourself, oh,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: it's a Monday, I'm on leave. I get to sleep in,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden at 9 a.m. sharp, you
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: hear this.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That one sound could have thrown your patience out
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the window. So, 669-119-87 or you can WhatsApp us at 90050987.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Wanna say good morning to username, it's me on WhatsApp,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: who says, hey, Joakim, noise that annoys me the most
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: is dragging furniture or the playing of marbles from the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: above unit, OK?
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, whether it's really someone playing marbles or the plumbing
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: issues or it could be something else entirely, we'll never know.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I want to also say good morning to Amanda, who
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: says the koel bird, woo woo, and rooster at 5 a.m.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: in the morning. OK, this one I relate to you
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: because for me it's the crows and they go off
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: as early as 4:30 a.m. in my area of Bishan.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: On the topic about that one sound.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: That just annoys you here in Singapore, could be anything.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Wanna go to WhatsApp and say good morning to Yusuf?
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Yusuf says, morning, Joe. Just yesterday, I heard this chant
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: around midnight. I can't make up the tune, but it's
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: something like, you're getting sacked in the morning.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I tuned the TV. I turned the TV on and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I saw Manchester United losing 3-0, tongue in cheek, just kidding,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and have a blessed Monday morning. You know what, Yusuf?
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: It's gonna happen now. Poor Michael Carrick crying in the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: stadium and all that. It's very sad to see. Uh,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: one coming in from Johanns. Hello, Johanns. Johans, you say, morning, Joe.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: For me, it's the car or motorbikes that are revving
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night, like there's no tomorrow. Yeah.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I, I've heard that one too many times as well
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: around my neighborhood. Go to the phone line is 669-119-87. Alan,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: what's your take on this one? OK, when I used
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to work in the office, then, uh, I have my
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: colleagues that, uh, sniffles like every minute, every few seconds
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you will hear him sniffle. OK, so it's like we
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: keep reminding him to like blow his nose and then
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: he will still come back, you see, so that that
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: sound I have become very sensitive to that sound. Oh no.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: So when I was like, uh, taking public transport, you
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: when when you hear the sound, people sniffling, then it's
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: like you, I'm controlling the urge, you know, to just
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: tell him to just blow your nose, man. OK. About
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to bring to a close today's question about the one
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: sound that annoys you the most. Again, I say majority
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: of us Singaporeans, we we can be quite patient, but
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: then when we hear the one thing that triggers us
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the most, it could be the sounds of drilling.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: It could be the sounds of the koal bird or
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the roosters or maybe someone playing pickleball just below where
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: you live. It could annoy you. It could trigger you,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and you do what you can to tahan, but sometimes
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: push comes to shove. So I wanna go back to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: WhatsApp and just read two more texts coming your way.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Wanna say hello to Randy. Randy says, Morning, Joakim. I
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: think the one noise that really annoys me is the handing,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: handling of.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Styrofoam box with the screeching sound and also the marker
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: sound on the whiteboard when you're writing too hard. All
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the screeching noises make your skin and hair stand up.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I know exactly what you mean, Randy. Back in secondary
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: school when my school just introduced the whiteboard marker, yeah.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Even I'm getting a bit of the goosebumps as well.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: One more coming in from Andy. Andy, you say, morning Joakim.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: The noise that really annoys me the most is when
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: someone sends me a voice note while they are eating.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: And the chewing sounds are maximized because of it's uh
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: because it's a voice note. Swallow first lah, before sending
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: out the voice notes. There you go. I mean, simple etiquette, right?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: To all the callers and texters earlier about that one
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: sound that really triggers us and it just throws our
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: patiences out the window. But of course, there could only
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: be one winner of the $100 Little Farms voucher.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: And I want to give it to Alan, who texted
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: us and called us earlier. Thank you so much for
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: your call, Alan.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Talking about how the sound of someone sniffing the mucus
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: back in, it could be a bit of a triggering
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: sound for you and honestly, yes, because sometimes even when
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: you hear it, the, the urge just offers some that
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: someone a piece of tissue saying, hey, why don't you
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: just blow your nose out and throw it away when
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: it's most convenient for you as compared to hearing the sound.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Every 5 seconds or 10 seconds, but there you go.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: This was me the whole of last week. All thanks
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: to influenza B, but thankfully feeling a lot better now
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm good enough to be back on air here
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: with you on 987. So again, Alan, congratulations. We'll get
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: your email very soon and that $100 little vouchers experience.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Uh, little, little farms vouchers. There you go. It is
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: coming your way. Couple of things to look forward to
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: in the year 2027, especially when it comes to social
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: media for children and teenagers, at least here in Singapore,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: where Singapore, we plan to introduce new legislation to make
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: it safer.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: So social media platforms will need stronger age verification measures
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to identify younger users and apply appropriate safeguards while complying
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: with data privacy laws. Social media platforms may have to
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: restrict inappropriate content and unwanted contact, including messages from strangers,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Your usual features like autoplay, infinite scrolling, and daily usage
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: limits are being considered to reduce excessive social media use
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and hopefully, we will have better online safety when it
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: comes to the teenagers and children here in Singapore. And
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: here's a worrying stat. Checks over 7000 apps found 65
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: apps with harmful content.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: And 24 with incorrect age ratings. These apps were removed
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: or re-rated after IMDA intervened. So, there you go. And hopefully,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: this isn't one of those cases where, yeah, they give
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: you the legislation, they, they run the whole safety thing,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: but people still find a way to bypass it. I,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I really hope it doesn't happen. This is a whole
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: new problem now.
