• 0:03
  Speaker 1: up.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Good next.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonnya
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. It
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: feels as if a lot has happened over the past
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: weekend here in Singapore, and not to worry, I'll do
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: my best to summarize for you all those announcements, especially
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: if you're a big Formula One fan. Something happening across
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the causeway very soon. It's Joakim Gomez with you. Singapore's
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: number one hit music station.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: On your Monday, 27th of July, yes, it is indeed
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: the final week of the 7th month of the year.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: We're moving into August very soon. You're gonna see an
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: increase in National Day celebrations. I believe some of the neighborhoods.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Here in Singapore already setting up for their massive National
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Day dinner. There could be neighborhood fireworks, but if you
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: were there for preview one on Saturday for this year's
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: National Day Parade at the National Stadium, I say thank
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: you very much.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I think most of us backstage agreed that the energy
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: for preview one was amazing because you have a combination
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: of the adults who successfully balloted for tickets, and on
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the other side, you had a few primary 5 kids,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I think close to about what, 10,000 of them in
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the stadium singing the songs really out loud. They were
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: so excited during the Kallang wave. They were.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Letting their voices be heard, and I think the adults
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: felt compelled to join in. And speaking of National Day,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you were tuned in over the weekend,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: but if you heard the trailer for the shock circuit play,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: we got a pair of actual National Day parade tickets
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: coming your way for this entire week here on the show. Wow!
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I'm excited. Now, do me a favor. If you win
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: these tickets and if you're there at the stadium for
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: our National Day parade, be a part of it. Sing
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the songs, do the kalang way, stand up and dance
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: without blocking anybody's view, of course, if you feel like it,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: because it is really a party and I hope you
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: go there and forget reality for a while.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: And allow yourself to be transported to the spirit known
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: as National Day Parade. And as promised, so much has
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: happened here in Singapore and around the world, and maybe
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: even across the causeway over the last two days. I'm
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: doing my best to make sure I summarize some of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the best action for you. By the way, congratulations to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: our boys in red Team Singapore!
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Kicking off their AFF championship with a win against Cambodia, 2-1,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Ilhan Fundy, take a bow. What a goal that was.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Definitely up for Puskass award, maybe. And tonight at the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Jalanbasar Stadium, our boys, they take on Timor-Leste. Limited tickets
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: still available.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So please, if you can buy one. If you have time,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: go on down to Jalan Besar Stadium, have some supper
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: with friends later on at night after the game, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: cheer on our boys as they kick off their AFF
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: campaign here in Singapore. But just maybe say 45 minutes
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: away in terms of a flight or a 3-hour drive away.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: You would know there's a bit of a situation happening
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: in the Middle East and the Grand Prix that was
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: supposed to happen there, the Bahrain Grand Prix, for example, canceled,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: but to replace that, the weekend before the Singapore Grand Prix,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: so I'm talking.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: October 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Our friends over at Malaysia,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Selangor to be exact, right next to KLIA. They'll be
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: hosting the Sepan Grand Prix to replace the Bahrain Grand Prix.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: So yes, congrats to Malaysia. Yeah.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: After 9 years, Formula One action returns to Malaysia, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: here's giving you some history. The final race in the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Sepan Grand Prix was actually won by Max Verstappen back
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: in the year 2017. Coming in second place, we've got
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Hamilton and in third place, Daniel Ricciardo. And look, I
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: believe loads of people now might be planning to go
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to KL for the weekend because the Sepan Grand Prix
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: is right next to KLIA. I mean, as compared to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: going into.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: LCD Center itself. So perhaps you could be booking a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: hotel near the airport. You might expect to pay a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: little bit more now because I'm very sure ever since
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the announcement, loads of people are doing plans to have
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a quick getaway to Malaysia, then come to Singapore for
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the Singapore Grand Prix. It's an exciting weekend for us
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: here in Southeast Asia. If you just joined us here
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: on the shock circuit wondering where is our darling Sonia, Thursday, Friday,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and over the weekend, and even now, I, I'm
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Very sure she's still partying over in Belgium for Tomorrowland
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: because they've got like a 7 or 6 hour time difference.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: So it could be still midnight over there and she
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: could be dancing herself into a Monday morning European time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: She's over at Tomorrowland. If you do follow her on Instagram,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: you'd have seen all the updates already on her Insta
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: stories and her profile itself. I'm jealous. The stages look amazing.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Her experience looks amazing as well. I believe she's there
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: with Isin.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And Saffron for a campaign with JBL to which she
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: will share with us more when she's back with us
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: here on the show on Wednesday morning, twenty-ninth of July.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And joining us that Wednesday morning, we got Estelle Fly.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: We'll be talking about her brand new single, Bury It,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: available for you on all your favorite streaming platforms. When
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: we come back though, I want you to join me
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: on the show for maybe one or two minutes, 669-119-87.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: The phone lines will be open in just a while.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: You can call in and tell us your
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Favorite thing about school, what you love about it. You
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: could be a teacher as well calling in to give
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: your students some encouragement if there are any exams or
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: weighted assessments going on. And the biggest takeaway for you,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I always say this, you get to practice your conversational skills,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: have a chat with me, and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: We play you your favorite song here on 987. So
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: be on standby 669-11987. Usually we take in phone lines,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: but for today, I did receive a WhatsApp message and
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I want to say good morning to Gane of Raffles
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Girls Primary School. Hey Joakim, my classmates and I were
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: there for the NDP preview on Saturday. We really had fun.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I am
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Having a sore throat, but I'm still going to school today.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: So I really just wanna say a big shout out
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to my classmates for making the experience extra fun. And
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you, whenever I scroll through TikTok
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and I see someone posting a TikTok video, it could
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: be a primary 5 kid under the supervision of their parents,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: of course. It brings back memories of my NE show
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: as well from the year 1999. It's a core memory
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: you'll never ever forget.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Just you and your schoolmates and your classmates and even
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: good friends singing the songs out loud, cheering, clapping, and
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: enjoying your KFC. I wonder if they still serve the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: P5 kids there. I hope they do. So, Gene, here
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: is your song from The Seraphim. Hopefully, you're going for
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: their concert as well. And, OK, where were you over
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the weekend when Marvel were doing all their announcements from
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: all age over at the Comic-Con?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I want to say congratulations to a few people. Firstly,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to Ryan Gosling. Yes, Ken Doh himself will be Ghost Rider,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: that movie coming out in 2028. Well done.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: And you know how Marvel, right? They love doing a
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: bit of the cinematic universe timeline clashes and all that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I wonder whether Nicolas Cage reprise his role as the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: OG ghostwriter. That movie was out in 2007. Will we
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: see him in the MCU aside from being Spider Noir,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: we'll see. And also, when it comes to movie releases,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: December 18th.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: We got Avengers Doomsday of this year and then December
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: 17th next year, in case you missed it, we have
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Avengers Secret Wars and December 15, 2028. It will be
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Black Panther 3 and taking on the role as T'Challa's son,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the brand new Black Panther or maybe the king. I
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: want to say congratulations to David Johnson.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: It's almost as if he was handpicked by Ryan Coogler himself,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and if you're not too familiar with David Johnson's work,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I suggest you go watch The Long Walk, or if
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you really want to, Alien Romulus. So congratulations. Cannot wait
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to see how David Johnson brings the role of T'Challa,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: or rather T''Challa's son and the role of Black Panther forward,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: and I wonder what happens to Shuri now that we
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: have a brand new Black Panther who might take on
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the mantle. I'm not too sure because
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: We need to follow the timeline of the MCU. All
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: will be revealed perhaps maybe in Avengers Doomsday and Avengers
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Secret Wars and how we can follow up in the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Marvel Cinematic Universe because to be honest with you, the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: events leading up to Avengers Doomsday and Avengers Secret Wars,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: it's been quite messy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: But hopefully with Avengers Encore, they're gonna be releasing it
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: before Avengers Doomsday. It might tie up some loose ends
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: or introduce some new segments on how they're gonna bring
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: back Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. There you go. Now,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: as Singapore sees an increase of run clubs in the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: running community, firstly, I really hope you do consider signing up.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: For the BYD Singapore International Marathon. You don't need to
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: do the full one. No need. Try the half marathon,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: try the 10 km, try the 5 km. It's the
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: marathon here in Singapore where the roads are closed for
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you and it's one of the rare times you get
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: to run on the roads here in Singapore without cars
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: interrupting your running journey. So please, if you can, do that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: But
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: With some of the run clubs, I wanna take you
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: to Bali right now and I hope that your run
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: club doesn't behave this way. Again, whatever I know is
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: whatever I've been seeing on social media. I've went down
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: this huge rabbit hole, but of course, sharing the news
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: with you, I'm taking news from both local and regional media.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: So I'm pretty sure if you are active in the
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: running scene, you would have heard of this already. Entourage Bali.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Yup, it's a run club over there, mainly focused on
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: digital nomads and expats. I think uh digital nomads are
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: It's the new phrase for working overseas. You just need
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: your laptop. It's almost like a work from home situation,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: but you're working from Bali. But I, I don't know why.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, OK, really reflect on yourself on this, OK?
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Would you behave the same way you do in places
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: like Bali and Phuket?
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Would you behave the same way in say, Tokyo or London? Yeah, if,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: if you felt a bit uncomfortable, I don't know why,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: but there are a handful of people when they go
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: to Bali or Phuket or even maybe other areas in
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Indonesia or Thailand, they feel like a king.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: They, they behave like they own the entire place. So,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: this Entourage Bali was actually founded by two Dutch people
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and it has been now shut down after allegations that
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: it excluded Indonesian locals from joining its events. And if
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: you are asking, hey, Joakim, are you sure? Where's the proof?
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Online itself, on your threads, on TikTok and even Instagram reels,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: you see messages, right, and there's the Entourage Bali logo.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: They only seem to accept people from certain nationalities and countries,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and they make it extra confusing and hard for people
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: with the +62 numbers, which is of course from Indonesia.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: So for example, I could be a 22 year old
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: female from Germany, which is part of the leaked screenshot messages, yeah.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: They say, yes, you're accepted, come on down to our event.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: And then if I'm using a +62 number, they will say, oh,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: we realize you're using a +62 number. Can I ask
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: where are you?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: from, and if the person says, oh, I'm from Indonesia,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I'm working here and all that, they will say, oh, OK, uh,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: sign-ups are full right now, but we will let you
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: know if anything frees up. So I think it became
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: a huge controversy, and I'm not too sure whether the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: video of that silent disco that has now gone viral
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: of them occupying the roads in Bali, and we know
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the roads in Bali are very cramped enough lah, OK? We, we,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: we don't need a run club.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Blocking traffic flow or your Gojek bikes or even your
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: vehicles as well. So that's the one that's kind of
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: gone viral. I don't know whether it was it that
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: event specifically that caused the controversy to blow up here.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I think some politicians from Bali as well have said, hey, it's,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: it's very disgusting the way you treat, uh, our locals.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: You do not own the place. So, I think Entourage Bali,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: they have paused all events while it is being investigated.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: And apparently, according to some of the news websites, the
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Dutch founders left Bali for Singapore, so they could be here. Guys,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: don't open a run club here, please. It's OK. We've
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: got more than enough. And most of the run clubs
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: here in Singapore have very good running etiquette. Yeah. I
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: wanna give a shout.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Shout out to the more popular ones, I think Fast
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and Free running department. We've got the Adidas runners as well,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: but some, if you're occupying the track space at the
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: stadiums here in Singapore, you could be over at MOE
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Evans or Bishan Stadium or Serangoon Stadium.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Please check your ticket, can observe. If you're going really slow,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: can you all take the outer lanes? And if you're
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: going at top speed, then do the inner lanes. Yeah,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: try not to cut people, keeping you company on this
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Monday morning. Thank you for tuning in. Now, look, I
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: wanna get really up close and personal with you here.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: If you don't mind sharing some personal stories.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: We love them, especially from now till 9 a.m. It's always,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: we call it the call-in golden hour at 669-119-87 if
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: you want your voice to be heard or you can
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: WhatsApp us at 90050987. Now, on TikTok, I've been scrolling
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: through loads of, I think it's uni graduation season.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so loads of people saying I've graduated. Some TikTok
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: users that I follow as well, very proudly posting up
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: his or her pictures, and even parents are joining in
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: the social media trend. I believe you might have read
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: about actor Chew Choomming's daughter graduating, and I'm very happy
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: at least the comment section were nice. And it's Chew
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Choom Meng, and look, I, I love that guy.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I used to watch him on, what was that show, the, the,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the gambling show on Channel 8 where he called himself
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Lucky Boy with Li Nan Singh and Zoe Tay, and
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: he was Mr. Kiasu. I like, so I'm a fan.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I'm a big Chou Chong Ming fan and Sonia would say, hey,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: we are cousins because same surname.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: And I, I just wanna ask a question here on 987.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: It doesn't just have to be pertaining to your graduation, OK?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: The phrase, I'm proud of you, when said to you
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: by the right person.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: It does wonders, man, really. Especially for us in Asian parents.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: When your Asian parent says, I'm proud of you, wow,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: sometimes you might be even scared like, hey, did I
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: do something wrong? Why suddenly got a very nice compliment
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: from you. But whenever my mom tells me I'm proud
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: of you, I'm happy lah, deep down inside, but cannot show.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Cannot show because if you show you will stop saying it,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: so you got to like, OK, yeah, thank you and
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: walk away but actually inside you are celebrating. So, here
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: we go. 669-11987 or WhatsApp us at 90050987. When was
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: the last time the phrase I'm proud of you, when
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: was it said to you?

  Speaker 2: Let us know your story. I wanna know. Share it
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: with us here in Singapore. You never know who's tuned in.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe your story might touch someone here on the airwaves,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: courtesy of us on 987. So, 669-11987 or 90050987, inspired
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: by all the graduation pictures. Here is the question. When
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: was the last time the phrase, I'm proud of you,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: when was it last said to you? Let us know.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Inspired by, I believe, uni graduation season, because I'm seeing
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: loads of people.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: throwing their, what do you call them, mortar boards, yeah,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: up in the air, and they're sharing screenshots of their
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: pictures with their parents and their parents saying, I'm so
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: proud of you. Well done. And that phrase, I'm so
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: proud of you, when said to you by the right person,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: it does wonders. So, today's question, you can call us
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: over at 669-11-987 or WhatsApp us at 90050987. When was
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: it last said to you? And I wanna say good
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: morning on WhatsApp to username, huh.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: H. Morning, Joakim. So my mom isn't a good praiser.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: She doesn't really say anything. In secondary school, I was
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: really mischievous and everywhere, didn't listen and I was very rebellious.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Then I used to play a lot, didn't study, but
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: for graduation, when it, when it came down to my
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: O levels, I scored really well. I studied hard for
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: it and I got good scores. My mom gave me
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: a mm.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Which was her version of I'm proud of you, but
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I never actually got it from her. Mostly from my
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: secondary school teachers. Trust, I gave them a lot of
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: headache in secondary school as well. Thank you very much
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: for your text and username, huh, because you and I,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: when it comes to who we were in secondary school,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: absolutely similar, just that only one of us did well
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: for our O Levels.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: And that person is you.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Wanna say hello to Jenny. Jenny says, hey, Joakim, to
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: be honest, I don't think anyone has ever said those
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: words to me. That's why I make it a point
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: to tell people around me when I'm proud of them
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: because I know how much it would have meant to
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: hear it. Wow! Thank you very much, Jenny. The world
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: could use more people like you. Keep the calls and
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: texts coming in over at 669-119-87 or 90050987. On the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: topic of the phrase, I'm proud of you.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: When was it said to you last? Inspired by what
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I've been seeing on social media of parents on TikTok
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: sometimes sharing about how, oh, my son or daughter just
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: graduated from university. I'm so proud of them and they'll
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: do a very nice family shot together. It's nice to see.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: It warms my heart. So I'm going to WhatsApp right
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: now and thank you for being very personal and vulnerable
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: with me here on the short circuit. One coming
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: In from Wilfred. Wilfred says, Hey, Joakim, mine came from
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: my younger brother. We don't really say emotional things to
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: each other. After I'd spent months helping him through a
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: difficult period, he hugged me one day and quietly said,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I've never said this before, but I'm really proud of you.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: That hit me harder than I expected because it came
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: from someone who rarely expresses his feelings. Wow!
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Bring a tear to my eye, Wilfred. One coming in
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: from city. City says, hey Joakim, it was after my
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: first child was born. My mom came over one evening,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: saw me trying to calm a crying baby while looking
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: completely exhausted and tired, and she just said, I'm proud
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: of the parent you've become. I didn't realize how much
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I needed to hear that until she said it. Wow!
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: You guys are moving me to tears here on 987.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Keep the calls and texts coming in over at 669-11987.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: That's to call us or you can WhatsApp us at 90050987.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: The uni grad season. Loads of very nice pictures on
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Instagram and TikToks of not just the students, but the
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: parents as well saying, I'm so proud of my daughter,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: so proud of my son graduating, family group shot and
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: all that. And I was just thinking the phrase
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I'm so proud of you. When said by the right person,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: it could do wonders for your mental health and even
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: your physical health as well it might just lift you up.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: So when was the last time that phrase was said
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: to you? Want to say good morning to Ifah who
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: just texted us. Hey Joakim, I just recently gave birth
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: to my 2nd. I came home to my 4 year
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: old first born and she just smiled and looked at me.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I know my husband told her to say it, but
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: hearing her say, Mama, I'm proud of you. You did it.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: It felt so much more meaningful than any other compliments
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I've heard before this. Ayo, Ifa, thank you so much
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: for sharing. So sweet. And one coming in from Jay.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Jay says, maybe not what someone said to me, but
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: what I said to my players. For context, I'm a
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: chook coach, and we just ended a competition yesterday. And
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: after the games during the debrief, I have praised the
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: players who gave it their all in their games. I
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: say things like, Good job, I'm proud of you. Make
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: them feel recognized and their effort.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Worthwhile. I hope to let the parents coach teachers that never, ah,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: to let, to let them know that never be afraid
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: to give compliments, acknowledging effort, and showing approval. There you go.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. We do have time for one
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: or two more texts if you want to over at 90050987.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Gonna bring a close to today's really personable and
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Might make you a little bit vulnerable if you're sharing
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: your stories with us here on 987 and I wanna
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: close it off with one anonymous text and this involves
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the phrase, I'm proud of you. Morning Joakim, Happy Monday.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: This morning's topic brought me quite a bit of emotion.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Growing up, I've never been told that statement. Well, I
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: know my parents love and take care of me, but
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: the statement I'm proud of you never came. Growing up,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I've been told many times, I'm a guy, I must
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: be strong, give in to my elder sister, so I
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: never knew I can be better or not. Fast.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Forward to today, I have two teenage girls. I will
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: take every opportunity to tell them how proud I am
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: of them individually, not just schoolwork, but whatever they, but
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: whenever they do the right thing. Now I have my
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: wife encouraging me when I'm down, saying she's proud of me. Aiyo.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: There you go. Thank you so much for all your
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: calls and texts on this Monday. More to come tomorrow
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: as well. Keep it here on 987. Hey, I'm Bruno Mars,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Aperture right here on 987, your number one hit music station.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I wonder whether that's the song that's still being played
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: at all the places selling televisions here in Singapore. A
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: long time ago it was Hotel California, then it became
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Psy's Gangnam Style, and then for a while there was
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: a 221 and Girls' Generation song.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: And then Bruno Mars and Rose selling televisions worldwide, all
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: thanks to Aperture. But anyway, here in Singapore, we are
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: going towards a zero-waste master plan, and unfortunately, our recycling
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: rate has fallen. Our friends at the NEA, they want
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: to invite you to share your ideas on how Singapore
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: can reduce waste and encourage more.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Use again as part of the review of the Zero
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Waste master plan, and it's also themed, Say Yes to
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Wasteless and there's a Price to waste, and got 28
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: new partners joining the campaign, introducing initiatives such as reducing
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: single-use plastics, promoting reusable items, and improving food waste management.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: There you go. I want to give a personal idea.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: It involves the blue recycling bins.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I think more can be done to collect the recycled
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: waste from there because the one near my block, every
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: time I go there, it's filled with, I won't just
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: say recyclable items, no, it's filled with litter as well.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: So I think for us Singapore in Singapore, a handful
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: of us need to be
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the word to use is now,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: better educated on what can go in the recycling bin
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: and what can't go in the recycling bin, but even
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: though there are stickers there already, people will still throw
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: their rubbish inside the recycling bins, which shouldn't be the case.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: So maybe we either do without the recycling bins and
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: find some other way, or somebody needs to monitor it
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: because
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: The ones at the Bishan area, especially my block, the
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: crows are going there to pull out food, lah. I
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: kid you not. The Formula One Singapore Airlines, the Singapore
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Grand Prix, Zara Larson with Lush Life. I dare say
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: it was that song that broke her out into superstardom,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: and I remember a few years ago she actually came
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: down to 987 for an interview back then with Gerald
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: and Kimberly Wang.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: On their show when they used to do the morning show.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: So yes, Sarah Larson, there you go. Hopefully we can
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: interview her and have a chat with her and catch
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: up on 987. That's it. How about this? Time to
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: play for your National Day parade. Actual day tickets, yup.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Everyone is balloting, but very hard to get, and we
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: here on 987, we have a pair for you. But
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: if you win these tickets, um, OK, and this one,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: let me self-serve a little bit, OK?
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: As an NDP host, it gives me great joy to
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: always host for the primary 5s, and even the past Saturday,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: we had a bit of the primary 5 kids and
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: the adults who came for preview 1. The adults were
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: most of the ones that better for tickets and they
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: got it, but you can hear the P5 kids overpowering
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the adults for everything.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: They were singing. They were screaming. They were so enthusiastic.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: The adults were happy as well, but they were more
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: of a chill. Just sit down, enjoy the show, yeah,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: kalang wave once or twice, but to sing the song,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I had the kids would do it.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: If you win these tickets to the actual day, can
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: you come scream and shout, cheer, have fun, dance along
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to all the songs, and maybe say, uh, memorize some
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: of the lyrics to Sparkle, Giants, and you'll be OK
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: and even Singapore Town as well. If you said yes,
