- 0:03Speaker 1: Wake up.
- 0:05Speaker 1: Good next.
- 0:07Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
- 0:10Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Well, good morning. Welcome,
- 0:13Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Final few days of March. How's
- 0:16Speaker 1: it going? Is it going to be a busy week
- 0:18Speaker 1: for you at work or at school? Regardless, we've got
- 0:20Speaker 1: some insane prizes coming your way, including something that we
- 0:24Speaker 1: got from the Disney Adventure. Stay tuned. Singapore's number one
- 0:28Speaker 1: hit music station.
- 0:33Speaker 1: I was just saying how March is nearly over and
- 0:37Speaker 1: uh Q4 is about to end very soon.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Q1, sorry, what are you talking about to
- 0:42Speaker 1: Q1, Q1.
- 0:44Speaker 2: What are we ushering in 2027
- 0:45Speaker 1: already? Q1 Q1, sorry. No, but hey,
- 0:47Speaker 2: let's celebrate this. It's a 4-day work week. Yes, in
- 0:51Speaker 2: a way, thank you, Jesus, but we know the real
- 0:53Speaker 2: reason for Good Friday.
- 0:55Speaker 1: If you don't actually know the real reason, maybe just
- 0:57Speaker 1: do a quick search. I think it's with, with any
- 0:59Speaker 1: religious or racial related.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Occasion here in Singapore. Sometimes we may not be completely
- 1:05Speaker 1: familiar with what it is about, right? And you know,
- 1:08Speaker 1: to this day we're still seeing people make the mistake
- 1:10Speaker 1: of saying Happy Good Friday, guys. Happy Good Friday.
- 1:13Speaker 2: That and also it's 2026, but people can't tell the
- 1:16Speaker 2: difference between Hari Rayawasa and Hari Raya Haji.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
- 1:22Speaker 2: It's always a simple Google Wiki or now chat GPT exactly.
- 1:27Speaker 1: So, um.
- 1:29Speaker 1: As of last year, I think I still saw at
- 1:31Speaker 1: least one company-related Instagram account that said Happy Good Friday
- 1:37Speaker 1: and they posted it up on their, they posted it
- 1:39Speaker 1: up on their account.
- 1:40Speaker 1: So, OK, I know we don't expect everyone to know
- 1:42Speaker 1: because with a name like Good Friday, I think it's
- 1:45Speaker 1: quite misleading and Easter is always seen as a celebration.
- 1:48Speaker 1: So just do a quick search. Good Friday is actually
- 1:50Speaker 1: a solemn thing, so don't wish your Catholic friends happy
- 1:53Speaker 1: Good Friday.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Just say
- 1:54Speaker 2: Blessed Blessed Good Friday, yeah. But what can I say is, uh,
- 1:57Speaker 2: happy high rocks and happy two times you. This.
- 2:00Speaker 2: We the whole of Singapore is gonna work out
- 2:03Speaker 1: except me.
- 2:04Speaker 2: You're playing peddle.
- 2:06Speaker 1: No, I'm not. I took a break because of my ankle.
- 2:07Speaker 1: I didn't want to roll it again. Wow,
- 2:09Speaker 2: yeah,
- 2:11Speaker 2: that can be me, you know.
- 2:13Speaker 1: You know, the funny thing is, like one of our
- 2:15Speaker 1: friends commented in the group chat. She said, What, that
- 2:17Speaker 1: means Sonia must be very pro because only the pro
- 2:19Speaker 1: ones get injuries.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Chat was silent. Now this was a pretty, you know, you,
- 2:28Speaker 1: you want to laugh, but at the same time it's
- 2:29Speaker 1: quite sad and you're, you're, you can get pretty scared
- 2:32Speaker 1: as well for your own mom, your own dad, your
- 2:35Speaker 1: own relatives.
- 2:36Speaker 2: In other words, confused laughter.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it's a mixture of emotions because this woman
- 2:42Speaker 1: who's in her 70s could have been any one of
- 2:45Speaker 1: our moms or aunties or maybe even your grandparents, OK.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Um, unfortunately, over a span of about 3 to 4 years,
- 2:54Speaker 1: she transferred about $600,000 Singapore dollars to a scammer impersonating
- 3:02Speaker 1: Elon Musk.
- 3:03Speaker 1: OK. This was the kind of thing where my parents
- 3:06Speaker 1: and I were talking about it. We were just like
- 3:07Speaker 1: laugh crying in a way that we feel so much
- 3:10Speaker 1: for this woman because I, I believe that she's going
- 3:12Speaker 1: through um some treatment for certain mental-related conditions, but at
- 3:17Speaker 1: the same time, you know, she's got the support of
- 3:19Speaker 1: her family right now, which is fantastic.
- 3:21Speaker 2: People, I'm gonna say this, even if the entire world
- 3:24Speaker 2: goes bankrupt, Elon Musk won't need your money.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Yeah, and let alone
- 3:28Speaker 2: 6000, OK. So,
- 3:33Speaker 1: or even more. So when you, when you actually looked into,
- 3:37Speaker 1: if you look into the article, right, it's a gradual thing.
- 3:40Speaker 1: So she doesn't, she didn't transfer like 6000 all at once.
- 3:42Speaker 1: It was over the span of three-ish years. So every
- 3:45Speaker 1: time the transfer would be like maybe um a few
- 3:47Speaker 1: tens of thousands. I think the biggest transaction was like
- 3:49Speaker 1: 670 and that was when the bank was like, yo,
- 3:53Speaker 1: this is, I mean, they didn't say yo, but this
- 3:55Speaker 1: is suspicious, right?
- 3:56Speaker 1: So they flagged it up and I think um a
- 3:59Speaker 1: restriction order, also known as the RO was issued by
- 4:02Speaker 1: the police, and this is actually one of the first
- 4:05Speaker 1: times it's been issued by the police since the Protection
- 4:08Speaker 1: from Scams Act in 2025
- 4:12Speaker 2: came into place.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So, you know, this scammer is quite smart
- 4:16Speaker 1: because I guess they went a little bit by little bit, right?
- 4:19Speaker 1: So it almost didn't flag up any concerns in the
- 4:22Speaker 1: initial time, um, but it's very.
- 4:25Speaker 1: unfortunate and I don't think she's going to get the
- 4:28Speaker 1: $6000 back. I don't think so. Yeah. According to her daughters,
- 4:33Speaker 1: she pretty much drained her savings and she even planned
- 4:36Speaker 1: to sell her $2 million apartment. So thankfully, they stepped
- 4:40Speaker 1: in in time was very, very crucial. She really believed
- 4:42Speaker 1: Elon Musk was real. Elon Musk talking to her and
- 4:46Speaker 1: she believed that she was helping him manage his business.
- 4:49Speaker 2: When you're getting scammed, you are definitely under some sort
- 4:52Speaker 2: of spell.
- 4:53Speaker 2: inverted commas. Yeah,
- 4:54Speaker 1: not literally, but you know, they, they're charming. They convince
- 4:58Speaker 1: you to give them money. This is how they work.
- 5:01Speaker 1: So
- 5:01Speaker 2: please be extra careful if your mom or dad, they
- 5:05Speaker 2: say they're talking to Mark Zuckerberg or any world leader,
- 5:11Speaker 2: please tell them to stop immediately unless they work for
- 5:14Speaker 2: the MFA.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Yeah, then maybe that's possible, but either that they, they
- 5:18Speaker 1: may not say that out loud also if they were
- 5:21Speaker 1: really talking to them.
- 5:22Speaker 1: So hey, if you're tuning in now, you've got elderly
- 5:24Speaker 1: folk at home, you know, your grandparents, your parents maybe
- 5:27Speaker 1: who may be a little bit gullible, please keep a
- 5:30Speaker 1: lookout for them.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Maybe it's too late to say this, but in the
- 5:33Speaker 2: comments section towards this lady, can we be a bit?
- 5:37Speaker 1: Yeah, if you, if you notice she's going through something.
- 5:40Speaker 2: I
- 5:40Speaker 1: know the rows
- 5:41Speaker 2: are left, right, center, but please be kind in the
- 5:43Speaker 2: comments for her.
- 5:44Speaker 1: It is someone's mom after all, you know.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Zed and One Republic coming up next, but also opening
- 5:48Speaker 1: up phone lines just for you to yap with us
- 5:51Speaker 1: before you get to school. Good morning, 987. This is
- 5:54Speaker 1: Mirabel from Hate Girls School. Hey girls. Alright, good morning.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Tell us what is the best part about hate girls.
- 6:01Speaker 1: It's probably the diverse culture. We have a lot of
- 6:05Speaker 1: different people from races and every Tuesday, we say the pledge.
- 6:09Speaker 2: In different languages.
- 6:11Speaker 1: What? Wow, that's really interesting.
- 6:12Speaker 2: OK, Mirabel, be honest with me. Do you like your
- 6:15Speaker 2: school uniform? Why? Yes. The color, the color combi is interesting.
- 6:20Speaker 2: It's white and yellow.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Oh, yellow is very in this year, by the way.
- 6:25Speaker 1: We have the pinna and then we also have the
- 6:27Speaker 1: skirt for prefects. So it's actually quite cooling, to be honest. Oh,
- 6:32Speaker 1: I like that.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Wake up.
- 6:35Speaker 1: next
- 6:36Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonnya
- 6:39Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Well, we've got fantastic news.
- 6:43Speaker 1: The time has finally come. We have snowballed the prize
- 6:48Speaker 1: money.
- 6:48Speaker 2: We are playing for $6000 in less than 50 minutes
- 6:52Speaker 2: here on the shock circuit. Stay with us.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Alex Warren is going to kick us off this hour.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Singapore's number one hit music station.
- 7:02Speaker 2: That said though, our friends over in Malaysia, I feel
- 7:06Speaker 2: as if what they're gonna start doing on April 1st,
- 7:09Speaker 2: it's targeted at a handful of Singaporeans, and I'm just
- 7:12Speaker 2: saying this tongue in cheek. Of course, they won't officially
- 7:16Speaker 2: say it, but I'm pretty sure it's done with that
- 7:18Speaker 2: in mind and also to conserve petrol and oil and
- 7:21Speaker 2: all that. Can I ask for a local petrol kiosk,
- 7:25Speaker 2: when you pump petrol, do you pay at the petrol pump?
- 7:28Speaker 2: Pump itself or go in to pay.
- 7:30Speaker 1: You go
- 7:30Speaker 1: inside to pay.
- 7:32Speaker 2: OK, because when I was in New Zealand, you can
- 7:34Speaker 2: just tap and pay at the petrol kiosk petrol
- 7:36Speaker 2: pump itself. Yeah,
- 7:37Speaker 1: so I think the concept is slightly different because in
- 7:40Speaker 1: a lot of other countries it's DIY do it yourself, right?
- 7:44Speaker 1: I mean.
- 7:44Speaker 1: But in Singapore, usually you go inside to pay. Yeah,
- 7:47Speaker 2: so for Malaysia, some of the petrol kiosks you can
- 7:50Speaker 2: pay at the pump itself and that's why some Singaporeans,
- 7:54Speaker 2: even if it's not allowed to, they will still go
- 7:56Speaker 2: and pump the 95 you know.
- 8:00Speaker 1: You're making yourself very obvious at this point because your,
- 8:03Speaker 1: your number plate is literally Singaporean registered. So,
- 8:06Speaker 2: as of April 1st, the Ron 95 petrol pump will
- 8:12Speaker 2: stop accepting foreign debit and credit cards.
- 8:16Speaker 1: OK, what if, is it possible for Singaporeans to hold
- 8:19Speaker 1: a Malaysian credit card? I'm curious.
- 8:22Speaker 2: I'm not too sure.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Can we? I'm not sure.
- 8:25Speaker 2: But knowing Malaysians, if they see a Singaporean, of course,
- 8:28Speaker 1: that's gonna be, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 8:30Speaker 2: they're definitely gonna film.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Post on TikTok.
- 8:33Speaker 1: 100%, 100%.
- 8:35Speaker 2: But by the way, you can still use your foreign
- 8:37Speaker 2: debit and credit cards to pay over the counter, but
- 8:40Speaker 2: not at the pump itself. But if you're a Singaporean
- 8:42Speaker 2: car and you pump 195,
- 8:44Speaker 1: let's just not even try at this point and you
- 8:46Speaker 2: pay over the counter, that's gonna be
- 8:48Speaker 2: worse.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Honestly, I don't know why people are still even trying
- 8:51Speaker 1: to do that. Like, I, I can only imagine if
- 8:53Speaker 1: I had to do that, right, the amount of anxiety
- 8:56Speaker 1: that I would have.
- 8:57Speaker 1: To make sure that I'm not seen or like do
- 8:59Speaker 1: I go to the most ulu looking petrol
- 9:01Speaker 1: station or what?
- 9:02Speaker 2: Yeah, so please don't give our Malaysian brothers and sisters. Exactly.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Honestly, we deserve it, you know, when, when we get
- 9:11Speaker 1: roasted for this reason,
- 9:12Speaker 2: let let's just keep our friendly debates to food.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree 100%.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Before we get to our uh $6000 that's up for
- 9:21Speaker 1: grabs very soon, um, something happened over the weekend that
- 9:25Speaker 1: I wanted to share with you and you can laugh
- 9:27Speaker 1: about it, OK? OK, it's nothing to do with me
- 9:30Speaker 1: playing paddle again. Don't worry, I've taken a short
- 9:32Speaker 1: break.
- 9:33Speaker 2: I mean, if you went back to play paddle.
- 9:37Speaker 2: In a span of a week since spraining your ankle,
- 9:40Speaker 2: you're definitely a clown. I'll give you a medal for
- 9:42Speaker 2: being a clown.
- 9:43Speaker 1: It's actually, to be honest, it's a lot better now
- 9:45Speaker 1: like the swelling is almost completely gone.
- 9:48Speaker 1: I survived, you know, my work trip in Phuket, um,
- 9:51Speaker 1: walking about, and I was fine.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Make
- 9:52Speaker 2: sure you do some stretches and all that. Yeah, so
- 9:54Speaker 2: the thing is,
- 9:55Speaker 1: Pilates is great for strengthening your ankle.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Beautiful. You can,
- 9:58Speaker 1: you can, but I've yet to return to Pilates as well,
- 10:01Speaker 1: so I think I'm going to do that this week. OK.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Louisa for help. Oh yeah, that's true, actually. She should
- 10:05Speaker 1: help me with my, my, my cankle. Unfortunately, um, it
- 10:10Speaker 1: was quite funny because.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Because I think in the news, right, Trump was seen
- 10:15Speaker 1: having a bit of a cankle situation as well. And
- 10:17Speaker 1: the term canker is, is formed when you, you know,
- 10:21Speaker 1: if a swelling in your ankle and your calf blends
- 10:23Speaker 1: in with your ankle, that's why they call it cankle. Yeah,
- 10:26Speaker 1: but I think he has got to do with other,
- 10:28Speaker 1: you know, health-related issues. But we're twinning with our cankles. OK,
- 10:33Speaker 1: so if you were tuning into us on Friday.
- 10:35Speaker 1: I did tell Jokim that I was gonna have a
- 10:37Speaker 1: Hai Di Lao with my friends and not Joakim. Wait, wait,
- 10:42Speaker 1: hold on. But the reason is my, my really close
- 10:46Speaker 1: friend from school, from Poly, she, she now permanently lives
- 10:50Speaker 1: in Mexico pretty much, OK. So she's kind of have,
- 10:53Speaker 1: she's got her own thing going on there, you know,
- 10:55Speaker 1: she works there and she's back here in Southeast Asia,
- 10:59Speaker 1: especially Singapore, because her sister's getting married this coming weekend.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Then I'm getting married in May, so she's just going
- 11:04Speaker 1: to spend like
- 11:05Speaker 1: Quite, quite a bit of time in Southeast
- 11:06Speaker 1: Asia.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Oh, and she's going back for World Cup season.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Yeah, she's not that big of a fan,
- 11:11Speaker 2: but does she have to buy
- 11:13Speaker 1: tickets? I don't know. Maybe I should ask her that.
- 11:16Speaker 2: a trip to Mexico, but anyway,
- 11:18Speaker 1: the point
- 11:18Speaker 1: is she came back to Singapore to visit and she
- 11:21Speaker 1: was like, Guys, there's no such thing as Hai Tauo
- 11:24Speaker 1: or like anything like that in Mexico, OK, so I
- 11:27Speaker 1: need to go to Haitillau. So we said, sure, why not?
- 11:29Speaker 1: Saturday night we booked Haiil Lao in town area.
- 11:33Speaker 1: And went down. So she brought her partner whom we
- 11:35Speaker 1: met for the very first time. Hi, Alan, what's up? Like,
- 11:38Speaker 1: we really love him, by the way. He's so much fun. So, um,
- 11:41Speaker 1: he came and he, he speaks a little bit of English,
- 11:46Speaker 1: but mostly Spanish, and she can speak Spanish as well.
- 11:49Speaker 1: So it's really cool, right? We just got to know him.
- 11:50Speaker 1: We went to Haiilla we're teaching him the ways of
- 11:52Speaker 1: like how to do hotpot. He's never done hot pot
- 11:54Speaker 1: in his life. And at one point, this low-key gave
- 11:58Speaker 1: me a lot of anxiety, OK, which everyone started laughing about.
- 12:01Speaker 1: So, you know, usually when you're handling the raw meat, right?
- 12:05Speaker 1: You will use like a serving chopstick and then you
- 12:08Speaker 1: cook it, then you put it on your plate, correct?
- 12:10Speaker 1: But he didn't really know, you know, how to do
- 12:12Speaker 1: it and my bad, I feel like I should have
- 12:14Speaker 1: taken the lead to try and help him out with
- 12:16Speaker 1: that too. He used his own chopstick to pick up
- 12:18Speaker 1: the raw meat, and then he's talking to us about something.
- 12:21Speaker 1: He puts the raw meat on his plate, OK, on
- 12:24Speaker 1: his plate, the one that he's eating from.
- 12:26Speaker 1: And then he dips it into the, into the soup,
- 12:29Speaker 1: which was not really boiling at the time because they
- 12:32Speaker 1: just topped up the soup. And when he took it out,
- 12:34Speaker 1: it still wasn't really cooked. Then he just casually put
- 12:36Speaker 1: the raw meat back on his plate. So then I said,
- 12:39Speaker 1: I said, hey, um, I think you need to like,
- 12:41Speaker 1: you should probably change your plate and then rinse, you know, the, the,
- 12:45Speaker 1: put the meat back into the soup when it's boiling,
- 12:48Speaker 1: to which, you know, my friend, his, his partner was
- 12:51Speaker 1: very chill about it, you know, she didn't really say anything.
- 12:54Speaker 1: And it kept happening. Like it almost seemed like he
- 12:56Speaker 1: wasn't registering what I was saying. So then I offered
- 12:59Speaker 1: to cook the meat for him the next
- 13:01Speaker 1: round.
- 13:04Speaker 1: To which he said, No, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Don't worry, don't worry, it's OK. And then Jeremy, who
- 13:08Speaker 1: was with us as well, he was like, Son, I think,
- 13:10Speaker 1: you know, his stomach is way stronger than ours, so
- 13:13Speaker 1: forget it. It's OK. Just leave it. He's fine. He's fine.
- 13:16Speaker 1: And he said, Yeah, I love raw beef.
- 13:19Speaker 1: He
- 13:19Speaker 2: likes
- 13:20Speaker 1: it
- 13:20Speaker 2: rare,
- 13:21Speaker 1: yeah, to which I was like I was having so
- 13:23Speaker 1: much anxiety. I don't know the inner Asian in me
- 13:25Speaker 1: is like, don't use your own personal chopstick to touch
- 13:28Speaker 1: the raw meat and then eat and put your mouth.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Wow.
- 13:31Speaker 1: But anyway, everyone else seems really calm about it, and
- 13:34Speaker 1: you know, um, it's Monday now. We have Hai Di
- 13:36Speaker 1: Lao on Saturday. No reports of him getting sick or anything.
- 13:40Speaker 1: He's fine. It's just me being paranoid, you know.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Mr. Chang Yong, Hai Tillao's founder. Time to open up
- 13:47Speaker 2: an outlet over in Mexico. Hey, by the way, Mexicans
- 13:51Speaker 2: love their spicy food.
- 13:52Speaker 1: They do. I mean, look, it's only the home of
- 13:55Speaker 1: your habanero sauces, you know, your spicy hot sauce, everything, yeah,
- 13:59Speaker 1: so they love the spice. Um, the only thing he
- 14:02Speaker 1: did mention was he's not used to the numbing feeling. OK.
- 14:06Speaker 1: It does take some time. I think the very first
- 14:07Speaker 1: time I.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Quite haiti ti lao as well. Any sort of mala,
- 14:10Speaker 1: you know, you, you have to take time to get
- 14:12Speaker 1: used to the numbing sensation. So yeah,
- 14:14Speaker 2: don't be surprised. In Mexico, the next taco will be malala,
- 14:18Speaker 1: right? Yeah. Hey, you know what, I just want to
- 14:20Speaker 1: say big love to them, and I'm sorry for being
- 14:22Speaker 1: so paranoid. It was just me being a typical Chinese auntie,
- 14:25Speaker 1: you know, like I don't know. I suddenly took the
- 14:27Speaker 1: form of my mom at that point. Don't use your chopstick,
- 14:29Speaker 1: touch the raw meat,
- 14:30Speaker 2: but you are your mom.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Good morning, Mama
- 14:36Speaker 1: Chew. She, she told me she's not tuning in yet.
- 14:38Speaker 1: She said she will tune in a while, because Holy Week,
- 14:41Speaker 1: she gonna say rosary in the morning.
- 14:45Speaker 2: 87.
- 14:50Speaker 2: That
- 14:53Speaker 2: I here. Hello
- 14:54Speaker 1: Izwan. How are you today, man?
- 14:56Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good. How are you guys? We're
- 14:57Speaker 2: very good. Iswan, you're the first player for $6000.
- 15:04Speaker 2: I really hope it comes your way, my friend. So
- 15:07Speaker 1: the question is, have you been tuning in pretty much
- 15:09Speaker 1: every day to eliminate those answers? Specifically. I see. OK,
- 15:15Speaker 1: so you feel good about your answer, man? I think so.
- 15:19Speaker 1: I hope so. Fingers crossed. Listen very carefully and tell
- 15:21Speaker 1: us what you think this is.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Is one for $6000. What is a 987 secret sound? Uh,
- 15:31Speaker 1: the sound of scissors cutting. Scissors cutting is your final answer. Yes.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Let's find out. You are incorrect.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Your chance to play 987's secret sound continues.
- 15:47Speaker 2: that sound.
- 15:49Speaker 2: This one is not the correct answer and according to
- 15:51Speaker 2: boss Janice, this is now the most common guest. Really? Yeah,
- 15:58Speaker 2: so people have said scissors on other shows.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Oh, maybe. OK, Iswan, you know what, we still appreciate
- 16:04Speaker 1: your enthusiasm and your energy. We were really rooting for you.
- 16:07Speaker 1: The good news is you still qualify for the big
- 16:10Speaker 1: grand draw. Congratulations. Same thing by getting to the phone lines.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Please keep trying, OK? Yeah, sure. Thank you. Have a
- 16:16Speaker 1: good day, guys. Wake up.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Good next.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
- 16:24Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Well, something happened over
- 16:29Speaker 1: the weekend that got me thinking about this, OK. Are
- 16:32Speaker 1: there certain habits or things that your parents nagged at
- 16:36Speaker 1: you about last time that you find yourself applying now
- 16:39Speaker 1: in your adult life? You become them. Details next. Singapore's
- 16:42Speaker 1: number one hit music station.
- 16:47Speaker 1: So in case you missed it, uh, slightly earlier on,
- 16:49Speaker 1: I was just telling Joe about this, um, incident that
- 16:52Speaker 1: happened over Hai Til Lao on Saturday, OK? And uh
- 16:56Speaker 1: just a quick recap here, what happened was brought my
- 16:59Speaker 1: friend and her boyfriend, um, who has never been to
- 17:02Speaker 1: Singapore before, to Hai Til Lao, and she's been craving
- 17:05Speaker 1: Haitilao for the longest time because ever since she moved
- 17:07Speaker 1: to Mexico, she's like, oh, you know, we don't get
- 17:08Speaker 1: this stuff over there. Let alone hot pot is not
- 17:11Speaker 1: a concept in Mexico, right?
- 17:13Speaker 1: So she was like, I have to bring him to
- 17:14Speaker 1: try it. Let's go. So we went, it was delicious,
- 17:18Speaker 1: very full after the meal, but one thing that gave
- 17:21Speaker 1: me anxiety was how he was cooking the beef or
- 17:25Speaker 1: the lack of cooking, OK? So, you know, for Asian,
- 17:28Speaker 1: Asian households, right?
- 17:30Speaker 1: We're quite particular about using a separate chopstick or utensils
- 17:34Speaker 1: for raw meat, correct? Especially with hot pot. And if
- 17:37Speaker 1: you use your own chopstick, at least you will maybe
- 17:39Speaker 1: um wash it in the boiling water first or the
- 17:41Speaker 1: boiling soup, then you will resume using it. Yeah, same.
- 17:45Speaker 1: So it's just a precaution, and I don't know whether
- 17:47Speaker 1: it was just drilled into my mind as a kid,
- 17:49Speaker 1: as an Asian kid especially.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Don't touch the raw meat with your own chopstick or
- 17:53Speaker 1: your spoon, you know, like that kind of
- 17:55Speaker 1: stuff,
- 17:55Speaker 2: right? That's the most I've heard it's
- 17:59Speaker 1: true because that's what I was told back then, like
- 18:01Speaker 1: in extended family reunion dinners, you know, my own mom, dad,
- 18:05Speaker 1: people will say that, right?
- 18:07Speaker 2: Let's play. I'm now.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Your mischievous son.
- 18:10Speaker 1: OK,
- 18:11Speaker 2: I'm going to commit the ultimate crime of using my
- 18:12Speaker 2: chopsticks to put it inside the boiling hot pot.
- 18:15Speaker 1: No, you mean using chopstick to the raw meat.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Yeah, OK, that's raw meat. So you be the mom
- 18:19Speaker 2: in your voice to me. Yeah, OK. 123,
- 18:23Speaker 1: go. Choking. Don't use your chopstick to touch the raw meat. Ah.
- 18:28Speaker 2: You,
- 18:28Speaker 2: you actually sound like
- 18:29Speaker 1: Mama. I'm, I'm replicating what I used to hear as
- 18:32Speaker 1: a kid, so.
- 18:33Speaker 1: So when I saw him use his own chopsticks, and
- 18:36Speaker 1: he doesn't really know lah, I guess, right? He uses
- 18:38Speaker 1: his own chopsticks to touch the raw meat and he
- 18:40Speaker 1: was chatting with us, you know, about some other thing,
- 18:43Speaker 1: and then he placed the raw meat on his plate
- 18:46Speaker 1: that you put your cooked food on, and he casually
- 18:48Speaker 1: just rolls the meat and put it in the, in
- 18:50Speaker 1: the soup again. I was just like, oh my God.
- 18:53Speaker 1: So I told him, Do you want to replace your
- 18:54Speaker 1: plate because your raw meat touched the plate, to which
- 18:57Speaker 1: my friend, his girlfriend, burst out laughing, and you know,
- 19:01Speaker 1: she and germs were both laughing. They said like, Hey,
- 19:04Speaker 1: you know, I think he's like, his stomach is very
- 19:06Speaker 1: strong lah, so it's OK. And then he goes, I
- 19:09Speaker 1: like raw beef. If,
- 19:11Speaker 2: if his girlfriend and even Jeremy are saying, you know,
- 19:14Speaker 2: let him be, let him
- 19:15Speaker 1: be, and you know what, it was a Saturday that
- 19:18Speaker 1: we had Hati. I was so worried that he would
- 19:19Speaker 1: have some sort of like stomach issue, but um.
- 19:22Speaker 1: It's Monday and he's fine apparently yeah.
- 19:25Speaker 2: Mexicans are
- 19:26Speaker 2: built different.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Um, here's the, here's the question for you, OK. 669-11987.
- 19:34Speaker 1: You can call us or drop us a WhatsApp message.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Were there certain things that you got nagged at about
- 19:39Speaker 1: or things that were drilled into your mind as a
- 19:42Speaker 1: kid that now as an adult, you find yourself kind
- 19:45Speaker 1: of practicing, even though as a kid you probably hated
- 19:48Speaker 1: hearing it from your parents? I mean, for me, aside
- 19:51Speaker 1: from the raw meat thing, I think it's avoiding what
- 19:54Speaker 1: we call heaty types of foods when you know, the
- 19:57Speaker 1: weather is hot and all that like.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Don't eat this a durian vehiti or like, you know,
- 20:01Speaker 1: this is vehiti. Don't do that.
- 20:03Speaker 2: I love how yours is mostly food related, and for
- 20:06Speaker 2: me it's neatness. Oh really? My mom would nag at
- 20:09Speaker 2: me when I was a kid to the point where
- 20:11Speaker 2: now I'm a very neat person. I'm now nagging at
- 20:14Speaker 2: my mom,
- 20:15Speaker 1: you see. So this is the question, right? Do you
- 20:17Speaker 1: start to become your parents at some point? She
- 20:20Speaker 2: will leave her snacks on the kitchen table.
- 20:22Speaker 1: The roles are reversed.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Who's gonna eat this one.
- 20:25Speaker 2: For the for the rats,
- 20:26Speaker 2: is it?
- 20:26Speaker 1: OK, so now you're sounding like your mom.
- 20:30Speaker 1: You know, I think unintentionally we are turning into our parents. Oh,
- 20:36Speaker 1: where the roles are reversed, where our, when our parents age,
- 20:39Speaker 1: we start to nag at them, don't you think?
- 20:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you think so, right? I've been telling
- 20:43Speaker 2: very jokes when I was 15 already, all thanks to
- 20:45Speaker 2: my dad. I want to say good morning to Adeline.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Adeline says, Hey, Sonia and Jokim, the statement which I
- 20:50Speaker 2: have inherited from my mom. See, I told you it
- 20:53Speaker 2: was for your own good, but you don't listen.
- 20:56Speaker 2: And my daughters will roll their eyes at me.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Oh, so you have turned into your mom.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Yeah. One more coming in from username Jim says, morning soldier.
- 21:06Speaker 2: For mine, it is, do not point at the moon.
- 21:09Speaker 2: If you point at the moon, your ears will get
- 21:11Speaker 2: a cut. I don't know how I feel about this,
- 21:14Speaker 2: but it's true. Now my 3 year old son will
- 21:16Speaker 2: also say this to other people every time he sees
- 21:19Speaker 2: the moon.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Oh no, no, but it is true, you know, this
- 21:22Speaker 1: particular statement has existed for centuries, OK.
- 21:26Speaker 1: And for some reason, I don't know, it's like a
- 21:28Speaker 1: better to be safe than sorry thing. I also don't
- 21:31Speaker 1: point at the moon.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Don't point at the moon don't do what Bruno Mars does.
- 21:37Speaker 2: to it.
- 21:38Speaker 1: I, I do, but then you laugh at me. You
- 21:40Speaker 1: say you say you don't believe in all this mercury
- 21:42Speaker 1: in retrograde, worm moon and like
- 21:44Speaker 1: all that.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Can I ask, what do you say to the moon sometimes? Like,
- 21:48Speaker 1: hi, you're so beautiful. Wow. Like give me some good energy, please. Why? Why?
- 21:53Speaker 1: It's the universe. I believe in energy in the universe, OK.
- 21:57Speaker 2: I think it's a.
- 21:58Speaker 2: I want to send you to to have your mind checked.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Hey, hello,
- 22:01Speaker 1: hello. Don't crack on people's beliefs, OK? I believe in
- 22:05Speaker 1: the energy of the universe.
- 22:06Speaker 2: When it comes to religion, I don't mind. This universe
- 22:09Speaker 2: thing has to stop.
- 22:11Speaker 1: Maybe this is why you're so pessimistic, joking. You need
- 22:13Speaker 1: to believe in a bit of magic sometimes. Never mind,
- 22:17Speaker 1: we can agree to disagree. We're very different people.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Uh, when we come back, we've got Derry on the line,
- 22:23Speaker 1: so please stay tuned. If you have more stories, we
- 22:25Speaker 1: would love to hear from you. 669-11987 or drop us
- 22:29Speaker 1: a WhatsApp message. Do you feel like you are slowly
- 22:32Speaker 1: morphing into your parents?
- 22:35Speaker 2: Wanna say good morning to Candice. Morning, Sojo. My mom
- 22:38Speaker 2: used to nag at me to stop.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Being glued to the television when it was time to
- 22:42Speaker 2: get ready for school or family outings. Now that I'm married,
- 22:45Speaker 2: living away from them, I just naturally never turn on
- 22:48Speaker 2: the TV in the mornings because I'm rushing to get
- 22:50Speaker 2: to work. But my husband, hi yo, going to be
- 22:54Speaker 2: late for work already, and he still has the time
- 22:57Speaker 2: to watch YouTube on TV. I'm now the one nagging
- 23:00Speaker 2: at him every 10 minutes like a snooze alarm. Oh gosh. OK.
- 23:05Speaker 2: One interesting one coming in from PJ.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Hey Sojo, last time my mom would always tell me
- 23:11Speaker 2: you cannot eat too much jelly, if not,
- 23:15Speaker 1: I've never heard this one,
- 23:16Speaker 2: jelly. You cannot eat too much jelly. If not, something
- 23:19Speaker 2: will go very soft.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Oh no. Now I will also tell my son the
- 23:25Speaker 2: same thing.
- 23:26Speaker 1: OK, OK,
- 23:26Speaker 1: OK, enough, If
- 23:27Speaker 2: you
- 23:27Speaker 2: will look at me weirdly, we both will start laughing.
- 23:32Speaker 2: PJ, I've, I've never heard this before. This one
- 23:35Speaker 1: is not safe for work. We cannot say on air, OK,
- 23:38Speaker 1: but if you know, you
- 23:39Speaker 2: know. But safe to say judging with life now.
- 23:42Speaker 1: I think this is just in case, you know, he
- 23:44Speaker 1: just tell his son kind
- 23:45Speaker 1: of situation.
- 23:47Speaker 2: I didn't eat too much jelly growing up you stop it?
- 23:54Speaker 1: Joe, thank you for the information. We did not need.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Derry is on the line right now. Derry, what about you?
- 24:00Speaker 1: Do you feel you're slowly morphing into your parents? Definitely, uh,
- 24:04Speaker 1: in the past,
- 24:04Speaker 2: I heard my mom telling me to sleep early all
- 24:07Speaker 2: the time, but then now it's my turn to look
- 24:09Speaker 2: at them and tell them, say like, hey, stop using
- 24:11Speaker 2: your phone.
- 24:13Speaker 2: because I see them, uh, using their phone to late night,
- 24:17Speaker 2: late hours, and then they are falling sick or like
- 24:19Speaker 2: looking more lethargic in the
- 24:20Speaker 2: morning.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Oh no, so they are doom scrolling as well, right?
- 24:23Speaker 2: Can
- 24:23Speaker 2: I ask what are your parents doing on their phones
- 24:25Speaker 2: playing Candy Crush or looking at TikTok videos? TikTok videos, man.
- 24:29Speaker 2: They are.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Honestly,
- 24:31Speaker 2: I guess,
- 24:32Speaker 1: yeah, like that's one thing that I nag my mom
- 24:34Speaker 1: about as well. Like I'm like, Mom, you're spending so
- 24:37Speaker 1: much time on your phone. In fact, right, when we
- 24:39Speaker 1: go for meals, I'm scared because she's tuning in now, probably. Yeah,
- 24:43Speaker 1: not just that, she would, she would be like, Hey,
- 24:45Speaker 1: I want to take a photo first. I want to post.
- 24:48Speaker 2: No, now I'm most worried about our parents on TikTok
- 24:51Speaker 2: shop because you don't know what kind of nonsense they
- 24:54Speaker 2: are selling. My mom will just click buy, buy, buy,
- 24:57Speaker 2: buy every day at home there's a new package for her,
- 24:59Speaker 1: not me.
- 25:00Speaker 2: Wanna say good morning to JD. Morning, Sonia and Joakim.
- 25:04Speaker 2: The sentence I inherited from my parents growing up, which
- 25:06Speaker 2: I use now to my kids, or be lah, run
- 25:10Speaker 2: some more. Or be good, all be good. Ah, very good.
- 25:12Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I think Joakim got that a lot
- 25:16Speaker 1: when he was a kid.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Right, it's more of the sea lah. Run some more sea.
- 25:21Speaker 2: I told you already. One coming in from Yishan. Morning, Sojo.
- 25:24Speaker 2: My experience is not to leave the dining table before
- 25:27Speaker 2: finishing dinner. I'm now repeating that to my niece when
- 25:30Speaker 2: my sister comes over for dinner.
- 25:33Speaker 1: Wow, see, we, you know, whether we realize it or not,
- 25:37Speaker 1: we do morph into what we were nagged about last time.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Again, I say this, I cannot wait for the day
- 25:44Speaker 2: where you actually become pregnant and become a mom.
- 25:46Speaker 1: I cannot wait. It's just for your entertainment, right? Yeah,
- 25:49Speaker 2: I want to see what you become, you know. I've
- 25:52Speaker 2: seen you go from like the fun clubbing days to like, mom.
- 25:57Speaker 1: Well, not yet. Soon. I was just at Avenue on
- 26:00Speaker 1: Friday night.
- 26:02Speaker 1: This is not mom behavior yet, I'm just saying.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Mel is on the line right now. What about you?
- 26:08Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're morphing into your parents? OK,
- 26:10Speaker 1: so
- 26:11Speaker 1: I think this started applying when I, when my kids
- 26:13Speaker 1: were growing
- 26:13Speaker 2: up,
- 26:14Speaker 1: right? Um, so for a start, uh, you know, every
- 26:17Speaker 1: time we're
- 26:17Speaker 2: eating
- 26:17Speaker 1: at
- 26:17Speaker 2: a
- 26:17Speaker 1: coffee
- 26:18Speaker 2: shop,
- 26:18Speaker 1: uh, I would say things like,
- 26:20Speaker 2: can
- 26:20Speaker 1: you
- 26:20Speaker 2: put your legs down? You know, you look
- 26:22Speaker 1: like
- 26:22Speaker 2: the
- 26:22Speaker 1: coffee shop uncle, right?
- 26:24Speaker 2: And then,
- 26:25Speaker 1: um, and then there were things like, you know,
- 26:27Speaker 2: they,
- 26:28Speaker 1: we stick chopsticks into our food, and then, you know,
- 26:30Speaker 1: as Chinese, we say, no, please don't do that.
- 26:33Speaker 2: And um and of course the last one being please
- 26:35Speaker 2: finish your food if not you're gonna, if not you're
- 26:37Speaker 2: gonna get pimples when you grow
- 26:38Speaker 1: up. Yeah, I know we all got that. And and
- 26:41Speaker 1: the classic one my dad used to tell me, don't
- 26:43Speaker 1: shake your leg under the table, you think you contractor.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Ah, they say you shake your leg, you'll
- 26:48Speaker 2: lose money. So, yes, yes. Mel, so I'm guessing these
- 26:52Speaker 2: phrases were said to you when you were a kid.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Yes, of course,
- 26:55Speaker 1: 100%. Yeah, yeah, I can relate to every single statement
- 26:58Speaker 1: that she, she mentioned. You're a shaker. No, I was
- 27:01Speaker 1: maybe as a kid you don't really know, like, you're
- 27:03Speaker 1: not aware. So as a result, I never shook my
- 27:06Speaker 1: leg again.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Actually, if you notice, I don't, I'm not a shaker
- 27:09Speaker 1: in my life because my, my dad said I look
- 27:12Speaker 1: like a contractor.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Want to say hello to Kathleen on WhatsApp. Hey guys,
- 27:17Speaker 2: this topic is hilarious. Guess who's asking these questions now?
- 27:22Speaker 2: Don't anyhow talk to strangers outside. Ah. Don't tell strangers
- 27:25Speaker 2: about so much about your family.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Where are you going? Who are you going out with?
- 27:30Speaker 2: Don't come home too late, ah. Why eat so little?
- 27:33Speaker 2: My 170 year old dad laughs whenever we ask or
- 27:36Speaker 2: make any of these questions slash statements now. Oh, and
- 27:39Speaker 2: we tell him, welcome to the circle of
- 27:41Speaker 2: life.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Yo, you know what, you see, our parents have always
- 27:44Speaker 1: known this. They've always known this, and they always say like,
- 27:47Speaker 1: you know, when we are like problematic with our folks
- 27:50Speaker 1: back then, like maybe when you went through your rebellious
- 27:52Speaker 1: teenage years and me as well, I think everyone can relate.
- 27:55Speaker 1: They will always say this, you watch out, next time
- 27:58Speaker 1: your kids are going to do the same thing to you.
- 28:01Speaker 1: Yeah, which is, I think, possible and quite true.
- 28:04Speaker 2: My
- 28:05Speaker 2: mom would always say, one day you'll raise a boy
- 28:07Speaker 2: like you, and you understand.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Exactly. Or the real punishment is if you have a daughter, joking.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Today's winner though, let's give it to Derry who called
- 28:15Speaker 2: us earlier. Hello, Derry.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Congratulations. Here's what you're walking away with, especially if you
- 28:20Speaker 1: love your Korean food. We're taking you to Weave over

- 28:29Speaker 2: a kind immersive dining, and it makes it a memorable
- 28:32Speaker 2: dining experience.
- 28:34Speaker 1: So I think
- 28:34Speaker 1: you get to really enjoy premium Korean ingredients. Um, the

- 28:40Speaker 1: I think it's one of the first ones, Jeju black pork, eel,
- 28:44Speaker 1: handcrafted noodles. They've got expert tableside grilling.
- 28:48Speaker 1: A really beautiful dining experience as well. Hope you enjoyed
- 28:51Speaker 1: this one. Please follow them up, D R I M

- 29:00Speaker 2: you can order the Korean beef and vegetable hotpot.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Oh, nice. I'll have it. So honestly, I think um
- 29:05Speaker 1: you use this $100 dining experience and just offset like
- 29:08Speaker 1: the bulk of your bill. Make sure you enjoy yourself, Derry.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Wake up.

- 29:18Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Well, coming up within
- 29:21Speaker 1: the hour, yet another piece of bittersweet food news.
- 29:25Speaker 2: And also a reason to go to the cinemas. Sonia,
- 29:29Speaker 2: you need to watch this movie. Yeah, you
- 29:31Speaker 1: texted me last night. OK, all the details next. BTS
- 29:35Speaker 1: kicks us off.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Singapore's number one hit music station.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Alright, movie related news. Let's
- 29:43Speaker 2: go. Alright, so this one you need to watch the
- 29:46Speaker 2: movie Sonia.
- 29:47Speaker 1: I know
- 29:47Speaker 1: you texted me like pretty late last night because I'm
- 29:49Speaker 1: assuming you watched it yesterday. You have to watch it
- 29:51Speaker 2: in IMAX as well. Project Hail Mary.
- 29:54Speaker 1: I saved it already. I mean, look, the trailer was out.
- 29:57Speaker 1: It was very intriguing.
- 29:59Speaker 2: It's a beautiful movie. Take a bow, Ryan Gosling. I
- 30:02Speaker 2: clap for you. It's almost as if like Matt Damon
- 30:06Speaker 2: in the.
- 30:06Speaker 2: The Martian, where it's just on Ryan Gosling and the
- 30:09Speaker 2: movie really captures your attention. Actually,
- 30:11Speaker 1: I
- 30:11Speaker 1: think a lot of people had stellar things to say
- 30:13Speaker 1: about his acting. Yeah.
- 30:15Speaker 2: It's
- 30:15Speaker 2: based on a book, by the way, a bestseller, and
- 30:17Speaker 2: of course the friendship between Ryan Gosling's character and Rocky
- 30:21Speaker 2: from the planet Erid. It's quite a touching 10 no, I,
- 30:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna cry,
- 30:26Speaker 2: right? You will cry.
- 30:27Speaker 2: It's hilarious. It's sad. It'll be haunting.
- 30:31Speaker 2: And there are reasons why people are giving the movie
- 30:34Speaker 2: a thumbs down. I won't say anything. It will make
- 30:38Speaker 2: sense after you watch it. OK,
- 30:40Speaker 1: but do you think that that is like intentional or
- 30:44Speaker 1: like they're trying to sabotage it or no, no,
- 30:48Speaker 2: they're not trust me, watch the movie. The thumbs down
- 30:50Speaker 2: will make sense to you.
- 30:52Speaker 1: It will make sense, but it's not affecting their rating
- 30:54Speaker 1: or the sales.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Trust
- 30:55Speaker 1: me on this
- 30:55Speaker 2: one.
- 30:56Speaker 1: OK, we'll keep that in mind.
- 30:57Speaker 2: Harry Styles'
- 30:58Speaker 2: Son of the Times is trending again. Oh, and Sonia,
- 31:02Speaker 2: can you fist my bump?
- 31:04Speaker 1: This is too, I'm too for the inside joke right now.
- 31:06Speaker 2: If
- 31:07Speaker 2: you've seen the movie, you probably are chuckling, but Sons,
- 31:09Speaker 2: please
- 31:10Speaker 1: go watch it. I will, I will trust me.
- 31:11Speaker 2: In fact,
- 31:11Speaker 1: it's been a long time since I've even stepped into
- 31:13Speaker 1: a cinema, so
- 31:14Speaker 2: this
- 31:14Speaker 1: is
- 31:15Speaker 2: a great reason to go
- 31:16Speaker 1: back. Yeah, thank you for that. Yeah, I think, thank you.
- 31:18Speaker 1: To the producers and to Ryan Gosling, I guess. Some
- 31:21Speaker 1: bittersweet news, food related. Let's go. I know unfortunate. I
- 31:27Speaker 1: know
- 31:27Speaker 2: 23 news news. Sonia with sad news to start the week.
- 31:35Speaker 2: I
- 31:35Speaker 1: mean, it's quite unfortunate, but I thought we have to
- 31:37Speaker 1: address it because it's been there for quite some time.
- 31:39Speaker 1: In fact, 11 long years it's been there.
- 31:42Speaker 1: And it was a place that I used to go
- 31:44Speaker 1: to to get um a thing or two when it's
- 31:46Speaker 1: like a friend's birthday or you're celebrating something in town,
- 31:49Speaker 1: you know. It's tart by Cheryl Cole. You remember this
- 31:53Speaker 1: place we walked past it before
- 31:54Speaker 2: together and only because my good friend's name is Cheryl Cole. Oh, OK,
- 31:58Speaker 1: but not related to this
- 31:59Speaker 2: Cheryl Cole. So whenever we see the storm, hey Cheryl,
- 32:01Speaker 2: your store is it this
- 32:02Speaker 2: one?
- 32:02Speaker 1: Oh, it's under Lesami and taught by Cheryl Cole is basically,
- 32:06Speaker 1: you know, um.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Uh, concept that has been there for a long time.
- 32:09Speaker 1: They sell elegant French style tarts, um, delicious fruit tarts
- 32:14Speaker 1: as well, and it's helmed by, you know, Singaporean pastry
- 32:16Speaker 1: chef Cheryl Koh, who's not your friend, but, uh, who's
- 32:20Speaker 1: also the pastry chef at 3 Michelin starred French restaurant
- 32:23Speaker 1: Les Amis. So I think Les Amis is currently ranked
- 32:26Speaker 1: number 38 on Asia's 50 best restaurants list. I'm quite unfortunate,
- 32:30Speaker 1: they first opened in Shaw Center in 2015. People would
- 32:34Speaker 1: be hanging out there, you know, enjoying a tart or two.
- 32:37Speaker 1: It was a really nice time, but they did post
- 32:39Speaker 1: that they're closing this chapter and they're very grateful for
- 32:42Speaker 1: the customers that have supported them. Did they give a
- 32:44Speaker 1: reason why? Well, I mean, they, they just said they
- 32:47Speaker 1: want to extend the deepest gratitude. Although they're closing this chapter,
- 32:50Speaker 1: they cherish all the memories and hopefully there's.
- 32:52Speaker 1: Going to be another part of the story soon. No
- 32:55Speaker 1: real mention about the reason.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Does
- 32:57Speaker 2: this mean that Singaporeans are no longer flocking to desert
- 33:01Speaker 2: places because Lady M is gone.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Yeah, but, but they did say that that they might
- 33:06Speaker 1: be coming back in some way, shape or form. I,
- 33:09Speaker 1: I also don't know whether it's got to do with
- 33:11Speaker 1: the location because sometimes, you know, um, malls have their
- 33:15Speaker 1: moments where it's like very crowded, and then sometimes it,
- 33:17Speaker 1: you know, has a lull period. I, I really don't know,
- 33:20Speaker 1: but sure, I wonder whether it's been.
- 33:23Speaker 1: You know, bustling enough in the recent years. If
- 33:25Speaker 2: salted
- 33:26Speaker 2: caramel or birds of paradise close down, you know
- 33:29Speaker 1: something is a problem. Yeah, OK. Hey, but it's unclear,
- 33:32Speaker 1: you know, show her your support. Maybe they might open
- 33:34Speaker 1: up a new chapter soon. You never know. Now, if
- 33:36Speaker 1: you follow us very closely on 987 socials and our
- 33:39Speaker 1: own socials as well.
- 33:40Speaker 1: You would have seen this by now. Um, a couple
- 33:42Speaker 1: of weeks ago, time flies, by the way, it's been
- 33:44Speaker 1: like what, 2 or 3 weekends already since we were
- 33:46Speaker 1: on the Disney adventure. 33 weekends. Yeah. Um, Joakim and
- 33:51Speaker 1: I did some major shopping just for you, and we
- 33:53Speaker 1: took the time to actually split them up into separate bags.
- 33:58Speaker 1: And now we have two sets. One is his set,
- 34:02Speaker 1: one is hers set. Each of us were given $500
- 34:05Speaker 1: to spend, but it's safe to say both of us
- 34:07Speaker 1: busted the
- 34:07Speaker 1: budget.
- 34:08Speaker 2: So in my bundle, it's everything I loved growing up
- 34:11Speaker 2: and currently love about the Disney universe. So you can
- 34:14Speaker 2: expect things from Toy Story, Marvel, and maybe even Monsters Inc.
- 34:18Speaker 1: Well, for my bundle, you can expect your mini Mickey
- 34:22Speaker 1: and Minnie stuff and also Duffy and Friends.
- 34:26Speaker 2: Do I see Stella Lou in there, the bunny? Yes.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Oh my God,
- 34:29Speaker 1: you can see the ears sticking out.
- 34:31Speaker 2: It's quite scary at night. It's very
- 34:33Speaker 2: cute.
- 34:33Speaker 1: OK, anyway, um, we've taken a bunch of pictures just
- 34:36Speaker 1: to make sure that you know what you're winning, and
- 34:39Speaker 1: we're gonna put those photos up this coming Wednesday on
- 34:42Speaker 1: 987 Socials. We're going to collab with it as well,
- 34:45Speaker 1: and we hope that you win and it goes to
- 34:47Speaker 1: a deserving person. Nice. So keep a close lookout on
- 34:50Speaker 1: 987 Social. Some
- 34:52Speaker 2: Netflix related news for you.
- 34:54Speaker 2: Involving two different entities. The first one, Manny Pacquiao and
- 34:58Speaker 2: Floyd Mayweather.
- 34:59Speaker 1: What's going on now?
- 35:00Speaker 2: You would have heard that they are announcing another fight, right?
- 35:03Speaker 2: And they're going to do it, but they're not going
- 35:05Speaker 2: to go all out on each other. What do you mean?
- 35:07Speaker 2: It's not like a real fight. It's an exhibition.
- 35:10Speaker 1: But don't they really actually fight exhibition?
- 35:13Speaker 2: Usually for exhibition it's a showcase of skills, and the
- 35:17Speaker 2: thing usually ends in a no result, like a draw.
- 35:20Speaker 2: It's for charity and the helmets are slightly bigger. OK,
- 35:24Speaker 2: so I think it might go easy, you know what
- 35:25Speaker 2: I mean? Just fight for 12 rounds, get a paycheck
- 35:28Speaker 2: and finish.
- 35:29Speaker 1: you know, Manny Pacquiao's appearance.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Uh, what was that again? The Asia's Asia's physical 100,
- 35:38Speaker 2: 100. Yeah,
- 35:38Speaker 1: but the Asia version where like they all the countries
- 35:41Speaker 1: show down against each other. He was there for not
- 35:44Speaker 1: a long time, but I wonder how much he got
- 35:47Speaker 1: paid just, just for appearing because the other contenders were
- 35:50Speaker 1: shocked that he was even there. So
- 35:52Speaker 2: that's the sports side of Netflix, and here comes the
- 35:54Speaker 2: drama side, which is Meghan Markle.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Dude, did I not send you that link just now?
- 35:59Speaker 2: Announcing another series.
- 36:01Speaker 1: But this time around it's, it's with her husband though.
- 36:04Speaker 2: No need. I think we're done.
- 36:07Speaker 1: You didn't like, you mean you didn't like her first
- 36:08Speaker 2: series? I mean, yes, and then all the scandals happen,
- 36:11Speaker 2: I'm like, OK, enough, you know, stop it. I
- 36:13Speaker 1: think you and the rest of the comment section would agree.
