• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Good next
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. As Sonia is on
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: her way to Belgium to enjoy the likes of Ellen Walker,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Steve Angelo, I'm here in the studio talking to Alan
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Wong and Steve Lim. Maybe, if that's your name, hello,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: welcome to the show. It's yours truly, Joakim Gomez, keeping
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you company.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Freshly turned 38 as of yesterday. Again, thank you so
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: much for all your DMs, whether on my Instagram or
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: 987's WhatsApp.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I really felt all the love. Again, as I said
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in my caption yesterday for my own personal post, I'm
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: not really that big on birthdays anymore. I mean, don't
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: get me wrong, waking up to loads of messages from
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: friends and people who know of my existence, wishing me
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a happy birthday. Some even were typing me essays on
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: how I've made them feel over the course of our friendship.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: It it really made me feel all warm and fuzzy
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: on the inside, but yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, but there comes a point in
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: my life where I'm just saying to my friends and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: even my mom yesterday, Mom, enough cake. Just one slice
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: will do, and I'll share with you more about what
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: my mom and I did yesterday. Now, the entire world,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: maybe even us here in Singapore, especially if you're a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: football fan.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: You might be feeling this lull. What do we do
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: now that the World Cup is over? Again, congratulations to Spain.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It was only just last week around this time, we
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: were all watching England against Argentina for the semi-final.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You know that game, I keep watching the highlights and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just asking myself, where did it all go wrong
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: for England? For the 1st 60 minutes, they were playing
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: so well. You had Anthony Gordon scoring for England. You
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: had Jett Spence with that goal saving tackle, and then
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Thomas Tuchel and his substitutions just kind of messed everything
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: up and Argentina ended up winning 2-1 and giving us
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: what I would say is the most boring final ever. Look,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: if you're a Premier League fan,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: We have 30 days before it's officially back in action,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: 22nd of August. So the very first game, we got
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Arsenal against Coventry on Saturday morning at 3 a.m. and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: then Hull against Manchester United. We got games like Brentford
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: against Spurs, Newcastle against Liverpool, Man City against Bournemouth. But
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: if you wanna go closer to home, at least here
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: in Singapore, tomorrow.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: At 8 p.m. the AFF championship kicks off. We have
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Cambodia against Singapore next Monday at 7:00 p.m. live at
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the Jalanbasar Stadium. We have Singapore against Timor-Leste. Friday, 31st
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of July at 9:00 p.m. It's Vietnam against Singapore, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: 7th of August. What a mouth-watering clash this is gonna be.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It's Singapore against Indonesia. Yup, this is an age-old rivalry.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And apparently tickets for this game, the one against Indonesia,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: 7th of August, sold out already. So please, I think
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: there are still tickets available for Singapore against Team Mod Leste.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: If you can, please do get tickets. Fill out the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Jalan Besar Stadium. Loads of things to discuss and talk
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: about here on the show, so strap yourselves in. Aside
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: from you winning a pair of tickets to preview two
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of National Day Parade 2026, that's happening on 1st of August.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: We also
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: We have a very nice dining experience, proudly brought to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you by our friends at Racine at SophieTel Singapore City Center.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've got loads of updates coming in from
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the world of parliament and government here in Singapore. We've
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: got news about AI, especially over at the Kampong Chai Chi.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Was it, was it Bedok area if I'm not wrong. Anyway,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: we got some EP coming your way, and we do
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: have an update on where Le Seraphim are performing on
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: November twenty-eighth.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And honestly, I feel Benson Boone is due a concert
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore, so hopefully, his management and maybe the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: record labels here in Singapore are taking action to make
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: sure they bring him in for one heck of a night.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Perhaps maybe say at the indoor stadium. But that's it,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we've got some concert updates coming your way. So November twenty-eighth,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: bit of an interesting day for us here in Singapore
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: because we do have Baby Monster who are performing at
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Which kind of left Le Seraphim in the dark in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: terms of concert venues. We were all wondering, will it
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: be Star Vista? Will it be a smaller theater? There
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: is an announcement. They will be performing at the all-new
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Apex at Expo. So congratulations.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: To Le Seraphim. I'm not too sure whether they be
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the first group to perform over there, but yeah, November 28th,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Apex at Expo, and that venue is capable of seating
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: up to 9000 people.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: That's slightly bigger than the Star Vista. So I cannot
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: wait to see what happens for the Seraphim. Whichever you're
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: going for, I hope you enjoy the concert. For November
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: twenty-eighth will be the all new Apex at Expo and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: looking at their Instagram.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I think the Fear Not membership pre-sale registration has started.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: It's going on from yesterday all the way till 29th
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of July, and then the Fear Not membership pre-sale for
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: their concert starts on 4th of August. General sales will
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: start 5th of August. When we come back here on
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the shock circuit, we're gonna open the phone line.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Lines at 669-119-87. Yup. You already know, we want you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to give your school a shout out. Whether it's primary, secondary, ITE, poly, JC, Uni.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: As long as you're schooling, we wanna hear what you're
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: up to, any assessments coming up, maybe your final year
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: project groupmate isn't pulling his or her weight. Complain to us.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Let us know, and your
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Takeaway is, number 1, you practice your compositional skills, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: number 2, we play you what could be your favorite
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: song here. 6:48 on your Thursday, 23rd of July. It's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Joakim Gomez keeping you company. I'll be solo today, tomorrow,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning, Monday and Tuesday as well as our darling
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Sonny Chou is on her way to Belgium for Tomorrowland. Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And then, just to let you in on some of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the convos that we have off-air. For the longest time,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Sonia and I, we said to ourselves, both of us
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and our close friends, we should all pull in money
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and go together for Tomorrowland one day, but I think
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: she's going there for an official campaign. I cannot wait
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to see all the pictures and Insta stories that she
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: will post once she's safely in Belgium, in the.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: The desert land of boom, if I'm not wrong, to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: enjoy a two-day, or was it three-day, two-night festival. So, Sonia,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: if by some miracle you're tuned in, have a great one.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: That said though, phone lines are now open, 669-119-87. If
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you're schooling, if you're on your way to school right now, primary, secondary,
• 7:21

• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a chat with you.

  Speaker 1: To find out what's fantastic about your school, any teacher

  Speaker 1: you want to give a shout out to, and the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: takeaway for you is this. You get to give your class,

  Speaker 1: so boring like at home.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Friends to play with in school. Yes, you and I both, same, Emma.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And what is the best thing to eat at Methodist Girls'
• 8:20

• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the school with Sonia, what should I try from your canteen?

• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and Stella. All right, take care. Have a great one. OK. Bye-bye, Emma. Bye. Now,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: before we get to the AI slop story that's kind
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of taken over the social media.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Media space here in Singapore by storm, might I add.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: How about giving you a piece of good news happening
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: this Sunday. Over at the Istana, they're having their Istana
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: open house from 9:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. So if
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you haven't been before, go and explore what the Istana
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: is like from the inside. Yay.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you can go in
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the Istana palace itself, but the lawn and all that
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: will be open for the public.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And apparently for this year, there'll be an evening outdoor
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: concert on the Istana lawn for the very first time
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: featuring the likes of Shahza. Congratulations. There'll also be some
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: dance performances, sports activities, heritage experiences, and interactive booths for
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: people of all ages. And if you're a Singapore citizen,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: permanent resident, and you're accompanying migrant domestic workers.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: will be able to go along with you and the family.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: The last entry for the outdoor concert is 6:45 p.m.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: so please arrive before then. Again, it's happening from 9:30 a.m.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to 8:00 p.m., but I think the last entry will
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: be 6:45 p.m. if you're going for the outdoor concert
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: for the Istana Open House happening this Sunday, July 26th.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And whether you like AI or not, well,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Fortunately or unfortunately, it is here to stay and in
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: my personal opinion, AI is like a superpower. You can
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: either use it for good to assist you.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: With day to day living or maybe even sometimes your
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: work or yeah, you know, it becomes a villainous thing
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and it might ruin loads of things. Take for example
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: this banner for National Day. You might have seen over
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: at the Bedok North Avenue 2 area which I think
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: maybe falls under the purview of Kampong Chai Chi CC,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: that area.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: So in this banner, and it obviously looks like AI
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: generated lah, OK, uh, what was missed was on the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: left-hand side of the banner under the SG 61. Some
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of the logos and the symbols looked a little bit weird,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and for the Singapore flag on the left-hand bottom corner
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: of the AI generated banner.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: There was no crescent stars. There was no crescent moon
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and stars, so it looked like the Indonesian flag on display.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So people on social media rightly called out the banner
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and then it was taken down and replaced almost immediately.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And whoever the spokesperson was that spoke to the media.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: You know, the thing about the media here in Singapore
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: or maybe around the world, what they would do is
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: they would take the juiciest part of your answer and
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: they will turn it to a headline. So when I
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: saw one media report it the way it did, I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: went to read up on other media's reporting on the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: same issue, and from what it seems that the headline,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: it's kind of implying or suggesting that the blame on
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: who created these banners and the blame for the mistake.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: It's actually going towards the seniors who created and paid
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: for these banners. Cannot lah.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Uh, OK, here's my personal take, and I'm very sure,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I'm very sure if Sonia were here, she would agree
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: with me as well, but she might deliver it in
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a more kind manner. But you expect to have the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: seniors be active in the mind and body. We, we
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: talk about active aging and all that, and a mistake
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: like that, and you feel, and or rather a mistake
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: like that gets spotted.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: And the blame somehow gets tai chi or pushed over
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to the seniors who did this. My question is, I,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I've worked with organizations like these before, and I know
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the vetting levels to be the highest of standards. They,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: they go through multiple rounds of checks before something takes
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the stage or something gets displayed. So now my question is,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: aside from pushing the blame to the seniors, who was
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: it that gave it the go-ahead to hang the banners
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: without checking it thoroughly, you know, that that's the question.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: People are asking on social media like, and some of
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the comments are saying, why blame the seniors? Who, who
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: was the approving team before a banner like this gets
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: hung at the Bedok North Avenue 2 area here in Singapore.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: So yeah, AI, yeah, I, I wonder what the prompts
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: were to create the banners and honestly, I don't really
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: blame the seniors who were doing this. Maybe they did
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: it out of goodwill and they had very good intentions,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: but sometimes
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Little little details like this might get missed in the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: bigger picture. That's why we need a good vetting and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: approving team before something like that gets hung. If not,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: it becomes a social media spectacle. There you go. So,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: let this be a reminder for all of us to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: check whatever it is we're doing, especially
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: If it involves the use of AI, better spell check
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and make sure you check your graphics, people. And OK,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: on that topic of Odyssey, if you've seen it already,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: congratulations to you. No spoilers please, and thankfully, TikTok.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: For some strange reason, they've been quite well behaved for Odyssey.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I've not seen anyone videoing anything and posting it up
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: on social media as of yet or maybe my FYP
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: is not yet infected with all the spoilers that people
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: are used to doing. For the Michael movie, while I
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: was watching it in Shawlido.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: The ladies in front of me were filming the screen la.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I was half expecting security to come in and stop
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the screening for a while, but no, I, I, I
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: guess they didn't want to ruin the experience for everyone else.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: But anyway, again, in case you missed it earlier, apparently,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: according to various news sources, Odyssey cost Chris Nolan's entire
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: team $250 million to make, all right?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Global opening weekend itself, that was last Saturday and Sunday,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: apparently it already raked in $264.1 million. We're talking $124.5
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: million from the US and Canada, then $139.6 million internationally.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Well done.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I guess, you know, people will go to the cinemas
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: if there is a good movie to watch. Yeah. If
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you tell me names like Quentin Tarantino, Antoine Fuqua, or
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: maybe even a name like Chris Nolan, yeah, people will
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: naturally want to go because the reputation is there to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: go watch a great film. And apparently now, it's somewhere
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: around the $341 million range and it is still rising.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: If you're wondering for Singapore how much we contributed, apparently,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: 1.075 million for opening weekend here in Singapore alone for
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the entire profit so far and entire money's earnings for
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the Odyssey. So, there you go. I cannot wait to
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: watch it. I'm just waiting for the cinemas to have
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: good seats because I was checking for this weekend and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: sometime early next week as well.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: The IMAX, the good seats are all taken, so I
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: gotta wait for a while. And by the way, for IMAX, right,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: if you're the kind of person that enjoys sitting at
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the back row, middle, don't do that for the odyssey.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Go towards the middle section of the IMAX cinemas so
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you can experience the 360 sound all around you and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: enjoy the movie in all its glory as it's meant
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: to be because it was shot in IMAX. It is
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: yours truly, Joakim Gomez, keeping you company.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: The last time we spoke, I was 37, now I'm 38.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, life is just flying by, and if you're tuned in, look, the,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the only place I feel comfortable to share more about
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: myself is actually here on this 987 platform because if
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you're tuned in, hopefully it's because you want to hear
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the banter between Sonia and I or what we have
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to update you on. Hopefully you do support us and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you truly enjoy the show, to which I want to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: say thank you. Let me clap for you on this
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Thursday morning. Thank you.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, wow, I, I, I realized it's been 20
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: years of my journey here in this industry we call
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: show since an 18 year old signing up for Singapore Idol. Yeah,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: that's a small nugget for you this Thursday morning.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: But yesterday was my birthday. Again, thank you so much
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: for all the lovely WhatsApp messages and the DMs that
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I received on Instagram and for Sonia's video that she
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: collabed posted with 987. If you haven't seen it yet,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: she kind of chronicled our entire journey from 2014 ever
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: since working together here on 987. But yesterday night was
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a more, how would I say this? I would say
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: it's tradition for my mom and I.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: And we've been doing this since I was maybe 8
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: or 9 years old, maybe 8 years old, 1996, I remember.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: She brought me to Jack's place over at the Ang
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Mo Kio area, the one next to courts. It's, it's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: been there for very long. I don't have the exact number,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: but
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: With all the news about places that's been surviving in
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Singapore for almost 50 or some even 60 or 70
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: years and they're closing down, I, I, I'm very happy
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: that Jack's place over at Ang Mo Kio is still there.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: And whenever I share with my friends when they ask me, oh,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: what do you usually do for your birthday, I say, oh,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: on the actual day I must spend it with my mom.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Dinner has to be at Jack's Place, Ang Mo Kio,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and they give me the Jack's place. Why Jack's place?
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hello. If, if you've been doing something for tradition,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: open inverted commas, for the last 30+ years of your life,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: you don't want to break anything and
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I, I truly enjoy doing this to my mom,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and my usual order is the fire stick, where they
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: pour the brandy and it and it, uh, shows you
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: fire for a little while. I call it the attention
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: seeking stick because the moment they pour the brandy and
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the fire happens, everybody looks for a while, there'll be
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: 5 seconds of silence, and then they go back to
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: their meal. But of course as a kid, I'll have
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: like the usual black pepper steak and all that.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's been something my mom and I have
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: been doing for 30+ years and I really hope that
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: outlet over at the Ang Mo Kio area next to
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the Ang Mo Kio courts, I hope it stays and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't go anywhere. Please, don't, don't take it away from us.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: We have few places like this here in Singapore now
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: that has stood the test of time. So, I wanna
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: open the phone lines.
• 19:40

  Speaker 1: Good morning to my good texter friend, John. Yes, hello, John.

• 21:34
  Speaker 1: down and need a pick me up, I'll visit a
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: porridge stall in the Chinatown area. It's just an average
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: porridge stall, but it has nostalgic and emotional feeling tied
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to it that just makes it special in my heart.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: My parents used to bring me
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: There when I was a kid, so it's warm and
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: fuzzy each time. I'm there having the porridge, and I
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: hope it stays. Thank you so much and I hope
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: it stays for you as well. On the line over
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: at 669-119-87. Zai, what's your story, my friend? Yes, I

  Speaker 1: Fish and that place was TGI Fridays.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was, I think, way longer ago. Yeah, that
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: was like the early to late 90s. So how do
• 22:37

• 22:55
  Speaker 1: just miss that place so much, uh, and we don't

  Speaker 1: for Makan to celebrate something or just maybe, maybe.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: An everyday thing that you might do. Wanna say good
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: morning on WhatsApp to Randy. Randy says, good morning, Joakim.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Before I started dating and got married, I used to
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: celebrate my birthdays at Jack's place too, at Bukit Panjang
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Plaza when the outlet was still around. I got to
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: know many of the staff there over the years and
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: would always order my favorite dish, the Jack's Special tenderloin steak. Recently,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I went to the Toa Payoh outlet for a meal
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: and was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Face. Special shout out to Krishna, the restaurant manager, for
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: remembering me even though it has been more than 10 years.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: It's always heartwarming to be welcomed by someone who remembers
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: you after so many years. This feels as if the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: entire segment is brought to you by Jack's Place, but
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I assure you it is not. I just started the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: ball rolling and I got loads of people sharing about
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: their experiences at Jack's Place as well. I wanna say
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: good morning to Jolene who says Happy belated birthday, Joakim.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: And I used to enjoy my steaks at Jack's place
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: with my family too. It's really nostalgic. Going to the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: phone lines over at 669-119-87. Michelle, what about you? I,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: my nostalgic place is Holland Village Market because Holland is
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: where I grew up and they have the best Western
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: food at a really cheap price. So in this economy,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: how does $6 plus for a big and hearty plate
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: of grilled pork chop with creamy spaghetti sound? It's also
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: my mom's favorite Western food that she
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: She used to tuck out two packets of that for
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: us and she'll especially wait for me to return from
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: school just to enjoy it together while I share about
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: my day in school. Aiyo, that's so nice. And how
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: often does she do that for you? It's almost every day.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: So when I was really young, that that's almost like
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: 5 days a week. Wow. Yeah, yeah, you're almost a
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: creature of habit just like me can eat the same
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: thing and be happy with it. Thank you so much
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: for sharing your story, Michelle. I hope that store is
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: still open. It's not closed down whatsoever yet, right?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: It's still open, so I hope you'll go and try
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: it too. It's really good. Well, Holland is just down
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the road, so I might go and try it soon then.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. You take care. Bye-bye. If you're
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: wondering where our darling Sonia Chew is, she's on a
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: plane on her way to Belgium for Tomorrowland, so she's
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: enjoying weekend to Friday.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday. She'll be back with us on Wednesday
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: morning and rest assured, she'll be posting loads of pictures
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and Insta stories on her personal account. Maybe she might
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: posted something on 987 as well. I was really hoping
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: to go with her. OK, that was the plan, but
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: never mind, next time.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: On the topic of tradition and places that hold special
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: meaning to you, maybe say for a celebration of a birthday,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: could be an anniversary or just, you know, with friends,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: family members. Wanna go to WhatsApp and say good morning
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: to a few people. Firstly, I wanna say hello to Malcolm.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Malcolm says, hey, Joakim, I always celebrate my birthday the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Saturday before NDP and pretend the fireworks are for me.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, Malcolm, you and loads of people and couples getting
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: their wedding shots in as well. I used to do
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: this at Wooullumu Steakhouse. Oh yes, OK. For Woolumu Steakhouse,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: if the NDP is happening over at the Padang and
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: you have a good seat, you'll be able to see
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the fireworks or maybe in the future NS Square as well,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: but I found a place with a better view. I'm
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: gonna gatekeep that one, as you should, Malcolm, as you should.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I mean,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Because the moment I say it here on national radio,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: everybody will try. By the way, in case you didn't know,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: this year's fireworks, Kallang Riverside Park, it's a better view.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: You might not see anything at the marina area unless
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: you are facing towards the National Stadium side.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Wanna say good morning to you on WhatsApp as well.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Your name is Chris. Hello, Chris. You say morning. Happy

  Speaker 1: and I.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: There every time he got his pay, we would have
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: barbecue seafood over there. Sometimes it was like around 2
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: or 3 a.m. when he comes home. My mother would
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: wake me up and say, let's go eat. I had
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: birthday celebrations there a few times as well. Sadly, it
• 27:45

• 27:49
  Speaker 1: is today.

• 28:11
  Speaker 1: that hold special meaning to you. Could be a place
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: to go eat, celebrate something with your friends, family, or partner.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: And all this inspired by my mom and I carrying
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: on a 30+ year long tradition that whenever it's my birthday,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: we go to the Jack's place over at Ang Mo

  Speaker 1: cinema is standard, but the best place I go to,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: or for me and the wifey, it is the 24.

  Speaker 1: late-night dessert anymore since they closed down. Well, thank you

  Speaker 1: Sharing about how your mom would always buy you this

  Speaker 1: very nice noodles and pork cutlet from Holland Village which
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: costs just $6. You know what? Take a break from
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: that for a while, even though it has special meaning.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Bring your mom over to Sofitel Singapore City Center and
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: enjoy this very nice buffet over at Racine's. Enjoy it.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I would call myself an adult, or rather, I'm still
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a kid with adult money.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Able to buy my own things that I want to
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: collect or play with, for example, Lego, vinyls, whatever tech setup,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: whatever's new in the world of tech, and not forgetting,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: PlayStation games and all that, I can go online and
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: just buy and enjoy it as my disconnect and me time.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: But currently, and this might bore you if you're not
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: a gaming fan, but bear with me for a bit. Currently,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: what's been occupying my
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Time it's Assassin's Creed, Black Flag resynct. We actually interviewed
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the people responsible for it. It's Ubisoft Singapore, by the way.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: We have, uh, Paul in the studio to talk about
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: us and to talk about it, and we do have
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: a very special Assassin's Creed collector's edition for you up
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: for giveaway on 987's Instagram. And if you're familiar with
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Assassin's Creed,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: How you unlock more of the map and even where
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: some of the the treasure chests might be, is you
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: gonna go to the highest point of any area. If
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: there's the eagle sign, you synchronize the whole the whole thing.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: And then you do a leap of faith into a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: haystack or leaves to protect your fall. So the question is,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: when was the last time you took a leap of faith,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: inverted commas. That's the question we posed for you on
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: 987's Instagram. Look out for the post with Sonia and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I holding on to the collector's edition box. And disclaimer,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: that's my personal box. The, the one that
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You're Gonna win. It's still sealed. It's still taped up.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: It's not been opened, so hopefully you do it. You
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: have until the 28th of July to get as many
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: comments in. Make sure you give our social team a headache.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Make your answers so good that they find it difficult
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: to pick a good winner because when we come back
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: in less than maybe say 7 minutes here on the
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: shock circuit.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: How about winning for yourself a pair of National Day
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Parade preview two tickets. You are watching it on August 1st. Now,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I know the feeling is I wanna be there on
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the actual day. I, I, I wanna win those tickets, yes,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and let me give you a small teaser. It'll be
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: happening on 987 on air and on social media very soon.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: But for preview too, here's why I feel it's also
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: worth a watch, OK?
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: And from my years of experience hosting an NDP and
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: being part of the rehearsals for every show, I, I,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I've seen the show go from combined rehearsal one to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the NE shows preview one and preview two. Preview two
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: is at the peak of the mountain. It's almost like
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: the director's cut of NDP before any minor changes are
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: made for the actual day. Yeah, Prime Minister.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Lawrence Wong won't be there. It's a simulation. I think
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: his stand-in will be there as well. You will still
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: see the, the role plays of the MPs and all
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: the mayors and ministers holding the placard saying MP or
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Minister of State and all that. It's quite cute, lah, OK.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: But of course, there is a reviewing officer, and usually
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: for preview too, it could be the Speaker of parliament.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: So I think in this case, Mr. Xia Kim Ping,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and you get to watch the whole show and what
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: could be fun for you is on the actual day,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: if you're watching it at home.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: You can try and guess, A, they took out this
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: small part, A, they included something new in this part. So,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: that's the joy of watching something before it's publicly made
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: available for all of us here in Singapore to enjoy. So,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: a pair of preview two tickets coming your way in
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: just a bit here on calling the National Stadium home
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: for the last few weeks has been very surreal, but
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I want you there for preview two. We have a
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: pair of tickets for the show happening.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: 1st of August, just 8 days away from the 9th
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: of August itself, and again, I affectionately call it the
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: director's cut of NDP. You get to watch everything and
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: should there be any minor changes on the actual day,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: see if you notice it when you watch it on television. So,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do right now, we've made it super
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: easy for you the last 3 to 4 days here
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: on the shock circuit. Today, I want to prepare you.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: OK, I wanna prepare you. I wanna give you a
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: taste of things to come next week here on the
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Shock circuit. Today, when you call us at 669-119-87, I'm
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: gonna put you through a quiz. Very simple quiz, 3 questions.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: You get all three right, those tickets coming your way,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: and I promise you.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: It's very easy. It's option A or option B. I
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: will do my best to help you to the best
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: of my ability and as I'm legally allowed to do

• 35:58
  Speaker 1: The third question I cannot help you, yeah. What is
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: this year's National Day parade theme? The slogan? Is it A,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Together Singapore, or is it B, go beyond?
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: A

  Speaker 1: B 3333.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: B is absolutely correct. Well done, Eileen. You're gonna go
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: watch NDP.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: And as promised before we close the show, a huge
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: thank you is in order for two SBS Transit staff
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: members because imagine this, if you go overseas, you're more
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: or less a tourist, you take public transport, but you
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: accidentally leave your bag, and not just any bag, a
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: bag containing your passport, $2000 cash.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Cash and $30,000 worth of gold jewelry for your upcoming
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: daughter's wedding. Yeah, there you go. So that was, that
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: was what happened to a tourist here in Singapore by
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: the name of Mrs. Kay. She alighted at a bus
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: stop and realized her bag was still on bus service 853.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: She went to Ang Mo Kio Interchange. She was crying,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: as I would too, you know, I mean.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Much money and your passport and all that, and it's
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: money that's going for your daughter's wedding. She was crying,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: hoping they could help. So, even though service 853 was
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: not operated by SBS Transit, what happened was they called
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Tower Transit Singapore to trace the bag, and within 20 minutes,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: they got a call back saying, yep, we have the bag,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: and it was
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Return to the tourist who is very grateful to these
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: two SBS staff members. So, I wanna make sure I
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: get their names right. We have the senior assistant interchange supervisor,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Nita Nathan Palnay, known as Nat Nathan or Nathan, and
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: we also have senior interchange supervisor Alex Tan. Thank you
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: very much. Thank you.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: For restoring our faith in humanity and especially here in
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Singapore as well, we could definitely use more stories like that.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: With that said, I'm gonna close the show and hand
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: you over to Anne Nicole for a lunch date, more
• 38:12
