  Speaker 1: As October comes to a close very soon, we might
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: be counting down to the next public holiday, which is Deepavali.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Deepavali is absolutely right. So we had to wait close
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to 3 months for a public holiday. That was after
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: NDP August 9th. Deepavali falls on a Sunday, OK, 8th November.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: That means
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Monday is a holiday weekend. No wonder, no wonder my, um,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: one of my girlfriends said, you want to go to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Bangkok this weekend? I was like, Oh yeah, what was that? Yeah,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: there's a spare holiday. So if you play your cards right,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: maybe say take leave on the 6th of November, that's Friday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: unless of course you are celebrating Deepavali with family and friends,

• 1:22
  Speaker 1: we'll be over at your house. Shout out Pretty please.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: The last function that I went to was her place. Actually,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I think it might have been the same. So Pretty
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and Mama Sarah, if you want to invite me, sure,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I'll be there. Yes, we are. Maybe today we can
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: see the daisies a lot more clear because the haze situation,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I look, sorry about that. I'm looking
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: at the haze map according to our friends over at
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: NEA haze.gov.sg.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Singapore is like in the middle where there's no smoke yet,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: but the smoke is around us so winds, please be favorable. I,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I actually, I don't want to jinx it,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: but my friends and I were just saying yesterday that
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: things look like it's getting a lot better. Yeah, you can't. No,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: but you see, the thing is like, you know, when
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I was driving yesterday in the evening, right, um, typically
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: over the past few weeks, the horizon has been.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Like murky and gray and you can't even see some
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of the buildings in the background, but as of yesterday,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, OK, I can see something. Yeah, so
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the PSI forecast is actually between 90 to 160 for today.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So if you're planning any outdoor activities, you might want
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to follow this reading over at hay.gov.sg. Yeah, so, um,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I think for those of you who are affected, you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: with your own existing conditions and all that.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Um, just try to remain indoors as much as possible.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Is Silent Hills Resident Evil as well. I think there
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: was one, was it YOLO that posted it that showed
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Tampines in
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Tampines 2 weeks ago and then Tampines now. But actually,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: but then the now picture that now that the haze
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: has cleared up a little bit, it's like not even
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the same country.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's like, it's like a waterfall somewhere like in New
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Zealand or something. You can trust him to do that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I know. And also, did you see a coordinating Minister
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: for Home Affairs Shanmugam's doorstop interview yesterday? Very fierce, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: very fierce. Not to be messy. Yeah, exactly.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Time for some Bodo crime. In case you just joined
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: us or maybe it's your first time tuning in to us.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Bordorime is a piece of crime news where we just
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: want a face palm ad, OK. Face palm worthy related
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: crime news. You ready? Yes. 123. B, crime, crime, crime.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And where are we going today? The boisterous streets of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Beach Road. Yes, actually Beach Road quite prominent. Oh, is it?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Well, um, it's Beach Road Hotel to be exact. So, um, yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's still Beach Road, right? It's still along
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Beach Road. In a hotel. Um, yes. So it's the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: reason why it's a very a hotel is because it's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: related to a wedding.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if you can see where I'm
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: going with this, but you know, when I did my
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: wedding just a few months ago, right, I did assign, um,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: one person during like the church ceremony to guard the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: ang Pao box. You had the fiercest person in charge,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I think I did, to make sure that, hey, no
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: one see anything put inside. OK, thank you. Wait, who was,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: who was?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Fierce. Was it one of your friends? It was Chris, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: he was here. OK, thank you. No more. No, he's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: just very alert. He's very alert, but I don't think
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he was fierce. Um, and in the evening, I did, uh,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: assign two of my girlfriends to do it, so they interchanged,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: they can at least go take a rest, rest, right? Um,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: unfortunately for this guy, he decided it was a smart
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: idea to attempt to steal from a wedding reception. OK,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: it's the money, right? Yeah, exactly.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: So, um, he, he decided, you know, it was a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: good idea to try and sneak over to the money box,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the Angpao box as we call it, and when no
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: one is looking or observing or seemingly so, um, steal
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: this Ang Bao box that contained around, I think it's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: over $2000 worth of cash at this point.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So then, um, the police were alerted to the situation
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: at about like 9 p.m. or so over the weekend,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and this just happened over the weekend, and he'll be
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: charged in court today, actually. Sorry. I don't mean to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: sound materialistic, but $2000 only. I know, I know.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I mean it's a wedding and it's a ballroom at
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a hotel. How come so little? OK, very small. Maybe
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the QR code or what I don't know. I don't know.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just a very, very small wedding. Um, I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: don't know what the capacity is of Beach Hotel. I'm
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: not sure. I'm sure they have a few different like
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: function rooms. Some people just do a very, very small one.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: It could even be like.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Like a restaurant, OK, you know, fair enough, or like
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a private room in a restaurant. I've attended one that
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: was just two tables. So in that sense, it might
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: be about that. I mean, again, it's not the point,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: but the expenses. I don't know. I mean, yeah, I
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: hope they do, but I heard a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Really bad one recently. A friend of my friend actually
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: attended a very lavish wedding, OK, and it's not, not
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore. It was like a destination wedding, but
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I think if I'm not wrong, like either the bride
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: or groom is Singaporean. So this was done overseas, right?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And it's like one of those very fancy type of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: weddings that you know the ang pors are going to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: be fat, OK? It's gonna be thick. Just think Crazy
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Rich Asians.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Um, and apparently one of the Angp boxes went missing,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you know, and inside they suspected it was like close
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to 1000, that kind of, of cash. Where's the CCTV
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and I don't know. That's the thing. So this is
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a story that I heard from a friend who attended
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: this wedding. So I'm invested. I don't know what happened, man,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and um, it being not held in Singapore.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I am not sure whether they are able to catch
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the person that stole it. You know what I mean?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: It could be that person could be like far away
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: now from the destination and to them, maybe the currency exchange,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: it could be worth a lot more, you know. There
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: could be a CCTV footage and hopefully gets caught. Fingers crossed, man.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. I know. Yeah, that's what
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I heard. That's what I heard. Hopefully it wasn't exaggerated, but.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Uh, judging from the extravagance of the wedding, I wouldn't
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: be surprised if it, if the Angpa box contained 1000. Well,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this has been.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: at the boisterous streets of Beach Road. If you're the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: kind of person that enjoys going to Universal Studios Singapore
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and you love the mummy ride, I love the mummy ride.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Me too. Yeah, I can do it many times and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: not get bored of it. Yeah. And the thing is,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you might feel like watching the movie after you take
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the ride. It, it actually does look quite accurate. Yes,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to the movie, yeah, yeah, I and all that. Uh,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you'll be very happy to know that next year, 2027,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Brendan Fraser.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Rachel Weisz, John, Hannah, Arno Vosloo himself, they are all
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: reuniting for a brand new Mummy film, The Mummy Book
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: of the Dead. Wow, it's not over. Yeah, what? So
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: this takes us what, like 20 years later or something,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: we'll see what the plot and what the timeline is,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: because in The Mummy Returns, you see Imhotep falling into
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the pit of hell, yes, yes, along with Anak Sunamun,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: who's getting eaten by the scarabs. That's about it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: That's all I know. So will they continue from that story,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: or what? Or will suddenly the mummy become a good
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: person and tackle another mummy? Was it the scene where
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: he like basically fell back and surrendered himself, OK, because I,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I recently saw this, um, like a social media, it
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: was a platform that broke down the emotions in that
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: scene and it, it, it broke down like what he
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: was going through in that moment, like why he was
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: smiling a little bit as he let himself go because.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: He knew that he did not have the same kind
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of love as Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz's characters. Yeah,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: she abandoned. Yeah, exactly. But anyway, just to throw you
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: back to one very important line in The Mummy Returns,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: don't forget the Book of the Dead gives life. The
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Book of the Living takes life away. So I'm very
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: sure there might be a sequel called The Mummy Book
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: of the Living. Yeah. What about the sequel The Daddy?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: There's no.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: There's no alternative. By the way, only because you are
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: mentioning about a movie called The Mummy, right? Uh, can
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I just say there's actually a movie starring, uh, I
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: think it's Yaya Abdul Mati, no sorry, it's starring Mahershala Ali.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: It's called Your Mother. No way. No, I kid you not,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: it's really called Your Mother. Mother, Mother, Your Mother. Is
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: it like a comedy?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: A devoutly religious hitman struggles to balance work, faith, and fatherhood.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: When his wife dies, he embarks on a desperate journey
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: across Houston to protect his children as he confronts the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: forces that are closing in around him. OK, it doesn't
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: sound like a comedy. Yeah, I think it's a thriller,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and don't ever ask a Singaporean person to read out
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that movie title.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Your mother, your mother, your mother. Your mother, your mother.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: So like I mentioned earlier, um, this would have definitely
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: been something that was dropped back in the day, you know, my, my,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: my dad has definitely told me this before, like, oh,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't know what your grandparents went through
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to put us through education so that
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I could, you know, be who I am and then
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: raise you for who you are today, that kind of stuff. Um,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: it seems like these stories are few and far between
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: now because, you know, generations have gone by and I
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: want to give a big shout out to this newspaper
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: vendor in Simei. If you live in Simey, you'll probably
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: be familiar with this particular vendor. Lived to 111, Mr. Lin, OK,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: by the name of, uh, sorry, 101, I said 111.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Um, Mr. Lin, he, he goes by that name, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: he raised 8 kids in total and saved over $40,000
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: for the son's overseas studies, which is, of course,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Very rare back then, OK, very rare. Mr. Netflix, it's,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: it's true. So like my dad, I don't know about
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: your parents, but my dad came from a family of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: 8 kids. Oh wow, yeah. So he has 7 siblings.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: He's the youngest. I know, but we were not.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Very productive in the um reproductive area. How would I say?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I, I have cousins, I have quite a
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: lot of cousins, but it kind of stops there. Like
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of us didn't or have yet to have
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: kids after. So hopefully one day you will tell us
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: some good news. I don't know, but um just thought
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it was a fascinating story because he came from a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: time where they built like kampong houses before they became
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: newspaper vendors and single-handedly.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Raised a clan of 8 kids. Well done. Crazy. Mr. Lin,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for your legacy and your story. Yes,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: which kind of reminds me as well that we are
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: fast approaching the generation of people like Mr. Lim, my
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: paternal grandmother.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Where this generation that actually lived through so many things
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that the world has gone through, the wars, they're passing on, right?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth's crowning, so many things they're passing on and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: their stories need to be treasured. Yeah, yeah, I think
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: that's why it's um it's being told right now and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: if you want to remember him for who he is
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and his perseverance and everything that he's been through, um,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I think his funeral procession will take place in 2 days.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: So if you um
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Knowing Mr. Lim living around the Sime area, go, go,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: please go pay your respects. I mean, there's Mr. Lin
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and my paternal grandmother who's 103. Dude, that's great. That's,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I want to give her a hug. You will. You
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: can meet her one day and give her a big
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: hug for me. When is her birthday again? August. OK,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: it's over already. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and she's still very
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: sharp and active, right? smiling all the time. I think
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: that's the secret to her long life. I know she's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: so sweet. Speaking of Angel, a very, very quick one.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Um, I want to give a big shout out to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: all the angels on the Victoria's Secrets runway. They look
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: stunning and if I have to ever have a moment
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: where you don't feel worried as a woman of aging, yeah,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: it's when you're watching Victoria's Secret's fashion show. Do you
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: realize that a lot of these supermodels are in their 40s?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So I guess Victoria's Secret, they have really pivoted how
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: they select their models already. Um, OK, I would say.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: These are legends that have walked the runway many, many times. Yeah, yeah,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I think Adriana Lima has walked like 21 or 22
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: times already. If I'm not wrong, she's, she's a staple.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: She's a mainstay. She is, and, uh, some of them even,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you know, they, they've been through like motherhood, they've been
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: through childbirth. I think Barbara Pelvin, she only just gave
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: birth like a few weeks ago, and she bounced back,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and of course, everyone's like, yeah, it's her job, you know,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: she has to do it, but she looked fantastic.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I'm no longer afraid of aging thanks to these women.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Can I say this respectfully, Sonia? How would you feel
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: if you were Kylie Jenner wearing a $50 million fantasy bra?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, how would you feel like you
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: have to walk carefully. You cannot slip and fall. If
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: one piece of the diamond comes out, you're in trouble.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: But like then whose fault is that? That's true. Is
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: it the person that put it on me or is
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: it my fault?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Again, I, I, I am stunned with every Victoria's Secret
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: show to which again the, the new fashionista me will
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: be like, huh, do you wear it like that. And
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: then I realized they don't wear it the wings, it's
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the bra and underwear that the you know, it's the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: way that they style it up and the way that
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: they make it so appealing, right, that I heard sometimes
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: some of the models, um, not, not the physical models,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I mean some of the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Um, their items and their clothing items sell out super
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: fast after the show. I, I wonder whether the catwalk
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: for this year is available online. If it is, will
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it be on YouTube. Sending love to Ariana Grande, a
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: bit of a hectic year she's having with her health
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and maybe mental state as well. And you know, if
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: your pet or your furry companion passes away, oh no,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: it's never easy to deal with the blow. You know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: that that's the one thing that I'm really scared about, yeah, because, uh.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: As you know, I've never had a dog my entire
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: life until Maxi, right? And even so, Maxi lives with
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: my parents, but we've all become like so close that
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I call her like my sister, right? My mom also
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: calls her my sister to be very honest, and I
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: fear the day that it happens, you know. Yeah, I
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: fear Maxi is not a favorite child. She is. It's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: not a, it's not a speculation. Unfortunately for Ariana Grande,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: she lost her dog Coco and she posted.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a carousel on Instagram which has gotten almost 2 million
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: likes already and all the photos were taken by Ricky Alvarez,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: her boyfriend. Dude, like I'm sending her all the love.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: This is not, you know, it's not easy at all.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: By the way, Coco had a very long life, yeah.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, 17. 0, exactly. Yeah, and I think Ariana
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Grande really pampered Coco. Is it a small dog? I,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I heard that smaller dogs have longer lifespans compared.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Compared to like Great Danes or something like, you know,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: they only have like 56 years. Looks a bit small
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to medium like the average size. Oh, it's kind of small, yeah, small, smallish. Yeah. Anyway,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: sending her so much love and if you're a pet
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: owner as well, please give your pet a hug and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a kiss.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Cross the rainbow bridge. Well, Coco, we're taking you to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Tega yet again. Interesting happenings over there with all the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: BTOs and even the condos as well, but a renovation
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: content creator. I didn't know we have such thing. Oh,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: anything that can be content, which is great.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Um, has criticized the kitchen in a four-room Tga BTO
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: flat and he used the word pathetic. Oh no, because
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: of its small size. So apparently the renovation specialist as
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: well said the layout makes it difficult to fit a stove,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: washing machine, sink, and fridge comfortably.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: And HDB responded saying that actually it's designed as an
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: open concept layout with separate wet and dry areas. OK
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and you know in the comment section it's gonna be
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: half the people supporting HDB, half the people supporting this guy, right? Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: So what's the conclusion? Like did he manage to fit in?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, very much it's just facts given to us
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to read and, you know, absorb and see what opinions form.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Because HDB also said both areas together occupy about 10
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: square meters comparable to a standard kitchen in newer flats
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: with a service yard. OK, I mean that that sounds
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: like if you plan it properly, it may work out
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: in your favor, but you have to be smart about it,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I guess, in terms of design layout and everything. Do
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you use your kitchen? Hardly. OK, um.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I use, I use like Jeremy's kitchen more because simply
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: because um when I'm alone, I don't, I don't cook.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I only cook like if it's for two of us
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: or you know, yeah, sometimes if my folks feel like
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: having my cooking or I will do it, but it's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not very, it's not very common. I'm gonna ask you
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a question. If you had a chance to change something,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: it's been a few years they've been staying there.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: What's the first thing you would do? So, OK, you know,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: we're still figuring out our housing situation because we both
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: have our own apartments. So we don't really know what
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to do just yet. We haven't been actively looking. But
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: if I were to change anything about my own, my
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: own apartment.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Uh, maybe a larger bathroom. My, my bathroom maybe just
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit bigger, because I do use it like
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: quite often.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, you better enjoy, you know, taking long showers,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: some hygiene and all that for yours truly, I remember
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: 10 years ago and after renovations when we were moving
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: back in, my mom insisted on buying this very L-shaped,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: this long L-shaped sofa, right, that just takes up so
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: much space at home. OK, OK, so you would change
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the sofa. Yeah, I'll take it out and just go
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to a smaller one, but no time and lazy. I know,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I know, and, and before you know it, it's just
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: been there for like 10 years.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, we're gonna open up phone lines in just
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a little while to address what are some things that
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: you really would like to change about your own house.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: And I understand we're already getting messages coming through about
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: what you would like to change about your house. If
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you inspired by the BTO kitchen that's been making its
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: rounds on social media. Yeah. Want to say good morning
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: to you on WhatsApp. I believe your name initials are ZXN. Hello.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Hey Sonia and Joakim.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I live on the 2nd floor and I hear everything.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Cars passing by, people walking and dragging their feet, parcel
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: delivery workers using, using and pushing their trolleys, cleaners sweeping
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the floor. Don't even get me started on cars going
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: up the MSCP, the multi-story car park, because it's just
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: right outside my window. So yeah, I would change my floor. Oh, OK, that's.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: So this one you have to change the whole apartment already,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the location.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: But I'm curious, so sorry to interrupt because you also
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: live on a lower floor, right? Is it 2nd or
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: 3rd or 2nd or? OK. But that's the thing, so
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you just used to it, no? Yeah, I mean it's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: been so long. So in the future if I ever
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: get my own place, anything above a 6, I'll be happy.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: OK, fair. One more coming in from city. Hello, Sonia
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and Joakim. When I first bought my current place, it
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: was actually quite spacious, but now after two kids, it's
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: getting very cramped. I'm looking for a more spacious option.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Hopefully I can get one by next year somewhere in
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the Jurong area. OK, all the best.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Get yourself a good realtor. Yeah, why not? Keep the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: calls and texts coming in at 669-11987 or WhatsApp us
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: at 90050987. Yeah, have a think about it. What is
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: something that you would like to change about your house? Yeah,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: aside from the entire house, like, because I think, you know,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: when it comes down to
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Renovation. I, I feel like once every few years if
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you're already locked in on that home, you might make some,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: you know, changes once in a while. I'm gonna say
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: something that relate to ventilation.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: OK, for what the air conditioning and stuff? No, for example,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: if I open the windows, right, I would like for
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: wind to come in, but because, um, there are like other,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: other things blocking my block, OK, I barely get anything.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: But that one you can't really unless you change your apartment, yeah.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: We're talking about what would you like to change about
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: your house if you could. Want to say good morning
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to Bintu Hisam on WhatsApp, who's having a sore throat
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: because of the haze.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Get well soon. Bin too. Morning, Sojo. Hope you all
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: are keeping healthy in this haze. We're trying. If there's
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: one thing I could change about my house, it'd be
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the toilet. I love everything about my house, location, my
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: spacious living room and kitchen, but the trade-off is that
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: my toilet is quite squeezy. I agree. I know. I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: feel the same way. OK. One more coming in from
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Wen Yi. Hello, morning, Sonia and Joakim. I will cater
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: my fixtures to be friendlier for the vertically challenged.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I couldn't even reach the top of my dish drying
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: rack even if I jumped. Aiyo, look at me? Then
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: who's doing it for you? Yeah, OK, OK, no, actually I, um, OK,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. I, I do, but, but I actually
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: have really long arms, so.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I have ape-like arms. Yeah, and so even though I
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: am not very tall, um, my arms can can reach
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to the higher shelves. No, I just have like a
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: big wingspan. Yeah, I just have long arms, that's all.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: So basically I've descended from the apes. I have descended
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: from the apes. Oh my goodness. Keep your calls and
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: texts coming in at 669-011-987 or WhatsApp us at 900005-0987.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: On the topic of what would you like to change
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: about your house if you inspired by whatever's happening over
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: at now when it comes to the four-room BTO kitchen,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the renovation content creator saying that yeah, it's very small.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: HDB defending it, so a bit of a battle going
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: on now on social media. I want to say good
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: morning to Ken. Ken says, Hey guys, I bought my
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: place 10 years ago and really should have added more sockets,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: PowerPoints at strategic areas rather than putting extension plugs. Honestly,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I agree. Yeah extension plugs are a pain. You might
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: trip on the wire and it just looks very unsightly
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: when you put it on the floor. So I, I was,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I was pretty lucky that, um, you know, my dad
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: is very handy when it comes to these things.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I had them to like advise me on how to
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: build certain things in, like, even though when I moved
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: into my place at that time, right, it was, it
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: was brand new, so not too much renovation to be done,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: but um what he advised me to do was install
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: more storage. So, and storage included also like those um
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: areas where you can hide your cables and like run
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: your cables through, so it looks very neat.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: On that note, because I've done plenty of ads for
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: them regarding where to place the modem, right, I realized
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: new condos and even new BTOs, they might have the storeroom,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and that's where the modem socket is. And if you
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: close the door, the signal might get interfered and it
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: can be quite slow. So unless you're getting a Wi
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Fi mesh, maybe if you're doing ID, ask the guy
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: whether can he shift the modem plug somewhere else, somewhere
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: else where it's in the open.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: So all the devices can be connected without intermittent activity. Yeah,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: you know, it's so much to think about when you,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: when you start your own place, right? Honestly, I've seen
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: people using chat GPT to plan it for them of
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the empty house and they chat to generate what they
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: want and they send it to their IDs or contractors. Yo,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: we're revealing too much information to AI Holy, right, if
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you think.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: About it. Still in the conversation of if you could
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: change something about your house, what would it be? I
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: want to say good morning to Nick. Nick on WhatsApp says, morning, Sojo.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: We have been staying in our current HDB BTO for
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: about 11 years now. There are a few things you
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: want to do to refresh the place. Number one, new
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: colors on the wall, new look. Laminate our flooring, give
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: it a fresh look.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Some kitchen cabinets. We didn't do much when we first
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: moved in. Now we need more storage space. The above
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: would likely take weeks. So if I want to do it,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I've got to find a temporary place to stay. Oh no, OK,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: that's always the most troublesome thing though. Got to move
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: out and move back in. You gotta hire the cleaners,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and then you hire those people to check all the
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: reno defects. Yeah, what was it, there's a term for it.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: The inspectors.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Well, no, there's a term for it. I know it
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: slips my mind right now, but OK, if you know
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the answer, just WhatsApp us. Want to say hello to Stella.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Stella says, morning, Sojo. If I could change one thing
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: about my house, I wish I had installed a lift
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: when I rebuilt my house 17 years ago. What are
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: you living in? Yeah, maybe landed or what. At that time,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I never thought we would need one. However, last year
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: after my meniscus surgery, oh no, no, I know how
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: that feels. I couldn't climb the stairs to my second
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: floor bedroom. This year, my husband underwent Achilles tendon surgery.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And face the same difficulty. It made me realize that
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: a home should not only be beautiful and comfortable but
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: also cater to our needs as we grow older. If
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I could turn back the clock, installing a lift would
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: definitely be one of my top priorities. Yeah, I mean,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: are you and your husband runners or something because these
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: are very centric injuries, right. I know it must take what,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: 6 or 8 months to recover from that meniscus and ACL,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: about maybe 4 to 6 months depending on how fast
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: your recovery period is for.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: for Achilles tendon, I'm not too sure about that one.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: You know, in those moments, I've always been grateful, um,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: because I remember when I visited one of the older
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: HDB blocks, um, some of the older estates still don't
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: have lifts on every floor, like on every, they don't
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: have a lift landing on every floor, so it skips
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: like two floors or something. Then you just go to
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the nearest one, you walk up or walk down to yours, right?
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: It's like whenever I go to Tiong Bahru, for example,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: and have a look at the estate, it's quite interesting
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: how it's laid out. You gotta take.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: The lift to go to the 2nd floor and then
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: you walk down, yeah, and I always wonder because a
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: lot of these estates are very old and there are
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of elderly people there. How do they do it?
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Or maybe that's the secret to their vitality. They still
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: walk the stairs and chilling at the void deck with
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: with their loudspeakers playing some very nice traditional songs. You
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: realize that it's our distant future, right? We might just
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: start hanging out there and, you know, catching up on
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: the gossip. I can't wait to hear Cardi B somewhere
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: on the East Coast on the speaker. You know, you
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: realize that will happen.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: that will happen. Talking about if you could change something
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: about your house, your home, um, something that you've just
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: never been satisfied with, what would it be? Thank you
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: so much for all your texts today, very WhatsApp heavy,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: but I do want to give it to Stella who
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: texted us earlier about wanting to install a lift 17
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: years ago because unfortunately for her, she had a meniscus
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: surgery and her husband actually tore his Achilles tendon. She
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: shared this during a squash competition. Ouch. Yeah. Well, congratulations.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Hope this ice cream.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Sort of like eases your concerns a little bit. I
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe just go for a cute date day
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: out over at 84 Neil Road. Make sure you try
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: their blue milk and roasted pistachio alongside bold local twists
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: like kopi banana. I want to try that one. Really?
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: You try kopi banana? I'm shocked. Just one time just
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: to try and see how it tastes like. But you
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: deal with the headache later, you realize that, right? OK,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: make sure I got nothing on the rest of the day. Yeah, well,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: we really hope that you enjoy yourself.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Because that's one of our favorite places to go to, Apiary.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: They've been handcrafting pure happiness right here in Singapore, 84
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Neil Road, like we mentioned earlier, and you can follow
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: them up on Instagram. That's A P I A R Y. SG.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And in the studio, if you're with us on 987's TikTok,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: we are live as well, all-round good guy. I promise
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you some very nice, sultry and soulful vocals. Welcome back
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: to the studio, Guest Liu.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Hello, good morning.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: How's it going,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: man? It's been two years since you stepped foot in
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: this studio. Yes, two years. What have you been cooking
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: in the past two years? Yeah,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, the last time I released a song was, yeah, 2024.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: It was called I Love You in Five Years' time
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: and after I kind of released that, I took some
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: time to kind of think about.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: You know, in the long run, what's the kind of
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: music that I wanted to do. Yeah. So, ah, there
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: was a bit of kind of really, um, taking the
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: time of soul searching, finding what's the kind of sound
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I want to create and this single now, I think
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: it's really representative of the stuff I want to do
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: and it's will be part of a 44 song
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: EPP. Does the 4 song EP include If I Loved
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: You in 5 Years?
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I know, yeah, that would be, yeah, in the past. OK.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Is it, is it me or is his voice? Always,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: every time he speaks, I'm like this guy should be
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: a DJ or something. I know, but what have you
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: been up to, man? How's school? Yeah the updates. What
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you do? What you up to?
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm currently in my last year of school.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I'm in NUS and I'm in the Conservatory of Music. Yeah,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Music collaboration, production, where we kind of have to do
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: ah produce our own projects and it also includes some
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: form of like, ah, usually some research and studies into
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: like understanding audiences, understanding how to, you know, um, what,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: what are the different areas that you're interested to look into. So,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: some people look into, you know, maybe a certain um
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: age group that they're trying to reach out to, do
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: some research into that and then basically create a a
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: a project that
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: has a production output that reaches out to these audiences.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: So what I've been trying to do is try to
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: work around um the development of artists. I've been researching
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: into that and like, you know, project management, artist management,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: And all the songs that I'm doing now, I'm also
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: using it to to kind of help my my FYP
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: to to kind of use the songs as a material
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: for my production output.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: So
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: who, who is your ideal demographic? Like when you write
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: a song now, since you're talking about like your audience
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and all that, do you have that audience in mind
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: that's listening to your track?
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because what I kind of got to realize is
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: that I do
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: have an affinity for for like older older songs. I
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: mean I do enjoy like of course the new stuff
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: I'm always being open-minded to new genres and everything, but
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: I always kind of have a soft spot for for like,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: you know, music in the eighties, seventies. So yeah, yeah.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: So I'm trying to to kind of ah incorporate that
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: into into what I'm the music that I'm writing. So
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: it's a bit, it's not fully like classic 70s, 80s.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: But it's also a bit of mix of pop. So
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I think one of my inspirations of of the more
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: recent years was when Silk Sonic, you know, the album,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: that kind of that's that kind of retro sound but
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: it's still so fresh and new and I was really
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: inspired by that. It's one of my inspirations. I don't have,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I didn't mention to
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the I think there will be more be more available
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: and I'll look out for that.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Definitely one of my, my inspirations. So I would say
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the target audience would be, you know, I'm trying to
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: reach out to as many, yeah, this is, it's kind
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: of like the current, ah, the old sound but in
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: a new interpretation.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: So,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: so you have your guitar with us in the studio?
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: What's the song you're gonna give us this morning, my
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: friend? Yes,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: so I'm gonna be playing my latest single. It got released, um,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: I think just about two weeks back on 9th October.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: It's called Won't Stop Loving.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I think it's a really um a song
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: that's representative of what, what I want to do now. Uh,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: with this song, I really wanted to explore that that
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: kind of old older sound with kind of like the,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: the current interpretation of it. So, the modulations, really more
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: like rhythmic groovy stuff, and yeah, I think I, I,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I'm really proud of, of, of this track and I'm
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: excited to, to also start to release the others and
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Let it build upon each other.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Let's hear it, man.

• 36:30
  Speaker 1: us happy, you know what I mean? Thank you for
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: chasing the haze away for a while, at least in
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: the studio.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: No, thank you so much. That was so great. We're
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: gonna take a very quick break and we'd love to
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: continue to chat with you in just a little while.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Along with us, we have Gaston. Yes, Gaston just performed
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: his latest single, Where Can Find It Again? Tell us, Gaston.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, you can find it on all streaming platforms under
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: the artist's name Gaston, G A S T O N
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: in caps. Yeah, Gaston Gaston.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Now he's figuring out like how he wants to say
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: it and all. OK, so graduation not too far away
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: for you. Not too far away. What, what is gonna
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: happen after that? Like, are you gonna put your full
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: time and energy into music or like what's happening?
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think the idea is to kind of
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: do music full time, but the reality of it is
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: probably doing a few different portfolios at the same time
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: to begin with. So like even on the side now
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I've started like teaching, teaching, teaching guitar, teaching vocals.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: And I'm also trying to branch out into different areas.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: I have some friends that have been, uh, doing like MCing,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: and I'm kind of like interested in that as well.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: So I'm trying to like get my like trying to
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: get some experience in that as well over time. But,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: but I must say you can talk, and when you
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: talk you actually drive the forward. So I think you
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: got that going for you already. But when you say
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: you teach vocals, right, just a quick one. How do you,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: are you qualified? How do you teach them the techniques
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: and all
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: that,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: right? Um, I think.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: For what what I'm teaching is more like pop vocal. So, OK, so,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: but I did do classical singing actually like in the
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: past few years when I was doing like A level
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: music because he had to sing like classical stuff. So
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of, I do have my qualifications in that
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: sense on my CV but
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think anything can help me.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: At this point, for real. But
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: anyway,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: we were, we were curious earlier, right, because we were
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: saying like, what exactly does your name mean? I don't
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: know why we were like talking about this off-air. So
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I did a quick search on Chat GBT actually. OK,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: here we go. So, Gaston is a French masculine name
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: derived from the meaning of guest or stranger.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: OK. OK, and it means confidence, strength, and masculinity. Wow,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: no wonder it's very aptly named Gaston in Beauty and
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the Beast. Yeah, exactly. You can eat 4000 eggs, 4000 eggs.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being with us here today. Yes,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: it's a pleasure.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Anything you want to share or say to your newfound
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: fans or followers who are tuned in to us right now?
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hi, everyone. Yeah, it's so nice to meet all
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: of you. My name is Gaston and I'll be releasing
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: more music, actually one, hopefully by the end of next
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: month and it's accumulating into a 4 song EP around
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: April next year. So I'm really excited. Do follow along
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: with me, uh, follow me on my socials at Gaston Liu.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm still using my full name for for
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: my IG and you can use, ah, you know, all
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: all the different socials to find me and and follow
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: me on this journey. I'm really excited to be able
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: to to put out these songs that I think are
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: really representative of what I wanna do and the songs
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: are meant to, you know, lift you up, get you going,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: make you feel good, you know, touch your soul.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: That's the kind of music that I want to release
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: and I hope you guys enjoy it. Thank you so much.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: We're, we're excited. We're rooting for you. Any idea on
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: the name of the EP just yet or you're figuring
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: it out? Yeah,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I'm still
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: figuring out some ideas, but I think I will review
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: it over time.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: No, no, don't. You better hire another marketing manager. Don't
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: hire Joki. Taylor Swift, Patient Zero, still at the top
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: of the top 100 Billboard charts for, if I'm not wrong,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: 3 weeks in a row already. Wow. Not budging, not moving. Um,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: she's dominating so far. The Swifties are really added to
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: make sure the song stays at number one.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: And also for Taylor Swift, have you seen that video
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: of her at the football game? American football game. She's
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: trying to enjoy the game, but then she has a
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: fan like plunking a camera in front of her face
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: and she goes, Hey, film the game. Don't film me.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: And she smiles about it. But what does the media say? Oh,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: she was rude to the fan, right? Yeah, yeah, I
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: read about that. I mean, OK, honestly, at her level,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: there's never really a clear cut, like right or wrong,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: It's always going to be a gray area. People are
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: going to twist it the way they want to twist it,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna make you look like a villain regardless.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Can I, can I say something? One thing I realized
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: about the F1 paddock club? Wow, when you spot the
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: driver come out, everybody runs towards the driver trying to
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: get a selfie, and I think the drivers know what
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: to do. They just keep walking and smiling, smiling, smiling,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: but they'll get from point A to point B in
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: record time. Yeah, for sure. And most of them are
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: even on their scooters. You can't even catch them, especially
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Lewis Hamilton.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Bit of running updates coming your way. I mean, for
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: the Great Eastern Women's run that was supposed to happen
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: on 1st of November, it's been canceled. Regardless of how
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the haze is, it's been canceled. I think the organizers thought, hey,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: you know what, let's do it in better weather. I
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: thought they were gonna monitor or something. Yeah, OK, that's
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: the Garmin half marathon, which could be happening on Sunday.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: So if you are doing the half marathon 10 km
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: or maybe even 5.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: OK, I forgot the categories available for you. Maybe follow
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Garmin SG and stay close with the updates because when
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I went to collect my race packs, the people who
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: were doing the race packs were so energetic. All the volunteers,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: I think they're students as well, they were like, Yay! Alright.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I said, guys, I hope the run happens. We need
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: this energy here in Singapore. So we'll see what happens,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: and I'm crossing my fingers that it takes place. If not,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: maybe on a better date, and
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Then all eyes on the BYD Singapore International Marathon presented
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: by Adidas. That's happening, I believe, 4th, 5th, and 6th December.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Hopefully by then, yeah, the haze clears. We still have
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: some time till then, so fingers crossed. I think it's
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: been showing some improvement, although we don't want to jinx it.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll keep it that way. I think most
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: people are trying to use the Garmin or the GE
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: as a training as a training race. Yeah, there you go.
