- 5:47Speaker 1: he asked me to, uh, never even tell me how
- 5:49Speaker 1: much I she always say yes. Then I said, eh,
- 5:51Speaker 1: I quite stupid ha never ask how much,
- 5:53Speaker 2: but I think
- 5:53Speaker 2: the sajian will be good lah. So jian.
- 5:59Speaker 2: What is that you touch your inner mina, I think
- 6:02Speaker 2: you will know jian, uh, the, you know, when offerings,

- 6:15Speaker 1: But I for what got money for what? I still
- 6:17Speaker 1: look like this go back under the grave
- 6:19Speaker 2: sad lonely sometimes out of out of 12 months, only
- 6:24Speaker 2: 1 month she alive. Then the other 11 actually quite sad.
- 6:28Speaker 2: I pity you don't cry, don't cry.
- 6:32Speaker 2: See lah,
- 6:32Speaker 2: now you remind
- 6:34Speaker 1: me
- 6:34Speaker 2: of my real life.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, sorry, we'll move on from real life. We'll
- 6:39Speaker 2: move on real life.
- 6:40Speaker 2: So, same question but for new role.
- 6:43Speaker 1: yes.
- 6:45Speaker 2: How did you prepare for the role? How did you
- 6:47Speaker 2: feel getting the role
- 6:48Speaker 2: of Auntie?
- 6:48Speaker 1: OK, so when, when, of course, a friend offered it
- 6:51Speaker 1: to me and he gave me this idea, you know what,
- 6:53Speaker 1: I think you can be a ghost for Halloween, yes,
- 6:57Speaker 1: let's do it because I love doing like stupid roles.
- 7:01Speaker 1: I mean, not stupid as in like roles that I, yeah,
- 7:05Speaker 1: that's a nice way of putting it, but like where
- 7:07Speaker 1: I don't have to think.
- 7:09Speaker 1: You know, because you know why? I've acted for so
- 7:11Speaker 1: many years, right? And every single role that I play,
- 7:14Speaker 1: there's a lot of thought that goes into getting into
- 7:17Speaker 1: the character, getting into the role, you have to learn
- 7:19Speaker 1: your script. But when I'm given a role that I
- 7:21Speaker 1: do not have to think about and I can just
- 7:22Speaker 1: say whatever I want to say and I get away
- 7:24Speaker 1: with it, you're crazy. Of course, I'll pick it up, right?
- 7:27Speaker 1: And it's so easy because he's just like, OK, you
- 7:29Speaker 1: just have to be here at this time, this time
- 7:30Speaker 1: to do makeup and then you just have to scare people.
- 7:33Speaker 1: That is as easy as that. And the thing is
- 7:35Speaker 1: that after we did the first one, I had so
- 7:37Speaker 1: much fun doing that.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Um, as Auntie P actually scared someone till she cried,
- 7:42Speaker 1: and yeah, I did, right, the first one, right? So
- 7:46Speaker 1: this girl got scared and she cried at a corner,
- 7:48Speaker 1: and I mean that's mean, but it was lovely.
- 7:51Speaker 1: I mean, it works lah, right? It was really, really good.
- 7:54Speaker 1: I had such a fun time being Auntie Bee. Yeah. No,
- 8:02Speaker 1: it was, she was random person that so they call
- 8:05Speaker 1: these people in, yeah, to tell stories, ghost stories, and
- 8:08Speaker 1: then I'll just creep up behind them and just scare
- 8:09Speaker 1: them during in the middle of the interview with Hafiz.
- 8:12Speaker 1: So these people had no idea that that
- 8:16Speaker 2: that that was a while back.
- 8:19Speaker 1: But
- 8:19Speaker 2: when you,
- 8:19Speaker 1: OK,
- 8:20Speaker 2: so when you got the role, did you find Auntie
- 8:22Speaker 2: P's voice immediately or did it take you a while
- 8:24Speaker 2: before the Auntie P that we
- 8:26Speaker 2: know
- 8:33Speaker 1: or accent.
- 8:35Speaker 1: It just happened on set. I just feel like whenever
- 8:37Speaker 1: Auntie Bee, whenever I become auntie Bee, there's just this
- 8:40Speaker 1: like very Singaporean character that gets into me and then
- 8:44Speaker 1: I just started speaking like that. And then as years
- 8:46Speaker 1: go by, she just, she's a more polished Auntie.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Her accent just, you know, yeah, it's so fun and
- 8:55Speaker 1: like I have people commenting on, OK, Auntie P's got Instagram,
- 8:59Speaker 1: by the way. Oh my God, yeah. So some people
- 9:01Speaker 1: like commenting like, oh please don't make Auntie P educated
- 9:05Speaker 1: because they love the uneducated Singlish Auntie P. So I
- 9:10Speaker 1: think she's kind of like created this character. She's, she's
- 9:14Speaker 1: a personality.
- 9:15Speaker 1: who own, yeah, yeah, which I think is so much fun.
- 9:18Speaker 1: And of course after the first time that we did,
- 9:19Speaker 1: we won awards for that. We won awards for that.
- 9:22Speaker 1: I'm like, where Auntie P going somewhere. Yeah, so then
- 9:26Speaker 1: every year actually now I haunt him, hey, when Auntie P. Yeah,
- 9:30Speaker 1: it's no longer like them calling me. I'm like, when
- 9:32Speaker 1: when Auntie P? I'm just so looking forward to playing
- 9:34Speaker 1: Auntie Pe every single time. We
- 9:36Speaker 2: already established that Auntie.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Yeah, even though the money I don't know go well lah,
- 9:41Speaker 1: just ask them burn for me then I then accept
- 9:45Speaker 1: the other side. Is that is that ATM the other
- 9:47Speaker 1: side got ATM card. I only take cash lah.
- 9:53Speaker 2: So is it safe to say like it's, it's so
- 9:56Speaker 2: natural that when you take on this role as it
- 9:58Speaker 2: comes to you naturally, right? You, you become naturally. So
- 10:03Speaker 2: I would like to ask.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Is this, is it like uh your inner noodle aini
- 10:10Speaker 2: you get what I mean
- 10:11Speaker 2: your true self knows me.
- 10:15Speaker 1: OK, my gosh, spot on, brother. OK, the thing is
- 10:18Speaker 1: that right, the reason why I love to play Auntie
- 10:21Speaker 1: Pe so much is because
- 10:23Speaker 1: I honestly can be myself. Oh my God, I let
- 10:26Speaker 1: all my guts down. OK, so it's true also that
- 10:30Speaker 1: um I mean, people kind of know me, kind of
- 10:33Speaker 1: know me and like I have to sort of like behave,
- 10:36Speaker 1: you know, and I also do not want to offend
- 10:38Speaker 1: people with the things that I.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Say or no I mean. So I refrain myself from
- 10:44Speaker 1: a lot of things, you know, uh, because social media
- 10:47Speaker 1: is scary. I cannot, I cannot just say whatever I
- 10:49Speaker 1: want to say, you know. Yeah, but then it's Auntie
- 10:52Speaker 1: P though. Yeah, yeah, I get away with anything and like.
- 10:58Speaker 1: I can go like and like it's OK. People won't
- 11:01Speaker 1: judge me, but Nurul Ai as someone who wears hijab,
- 11:05Speaker 1: you know, as a Malay Muslim woman, I can't, you know, yeah,
- 11:09Speaker 1: I'll get judged and then like you get what I mean?
- 11:13Speaker 1: Like when I do it like this, it doesn't, it's OK.
- 11:16Speaker 1: She's like forgiven, but when I'm
- 11:19Speaker 1: Noorul Aini with my hijab and as a mom of
- 11:21Speaker 1: three it's
- 11:22Speaker 2: no
- 11:25Speaker 2: can I just say I think my favorite part of
- 11:26Speaker 2: this entire season no no no it's going to be
- 11:30Speaker 2: a pontana thing and a microphone going Social media is
- 11:33Speaker 2: really scary.
- 11:35Speaker 2: The irony, guys, the irony, the irony.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Even Fontana is scared of netizens.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Yeah, but also scared to offend the
- 11:44Speaker 2: human beings. I think today we can conclude that humans
- 11:47Speaker 2: are scarier than ghosts. I thought that one concludes of
- 11:51Speaker 2: incres already established scary, but now we have both sides
- 11:57Speaker 2: agreeing on it. You don't need to look far. You
- 12:01Speaker 2: don't need to look far to, to know that actually
- 12:03Speaker 2: humans are scarier. The origins of Pontana is also caused
- 12:06Speaker 2: by a human.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Technically, like a man wrong a woman, she can technically
- 12:12Speaker 2: become a boon. So it is ultimately still humans are scarier.
- 12:16Speaker 2: I don't want to get too depressing, but this one
- 12:18Speaker 2: is deep, bro
- 12:23Speaker 1: me of a lot of my life that I'm sorry.
- 12:27Speaker 2: So moving on, uh, strange occurrences on, uh, productions, specifically
- 12:32Speaker 2: horror productions, is quite common. So, um.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Nuru, uh, as you play Auntie P, has there been
- 12:40Speaker 2: any creepy incidences that happened? Like, has it changed? You're
- 12:45Speaker 2: playing Auntie P, then suddenly a real Auntie P come
- 12:47Speaker 2: out like it is on the posture wrong.
- 12:49Speaker 1: It's
- 12:50Speaker 1: like this.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Yes, so last year we did something super daring. Like
- 12:55Speaker 1: we went to OCH. I was shocked when I got
- 12:58Speaker 1: the offer lah, when, when, uh, Buddy shared with me that, oh,
- 13:01Speaker 1: this summer we're going to bring you to OCH. I'm like,
- 13:03Speaker 1: you crazy. He's like, don't worry, everything's gonna be fine.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Everything's gonna be fine. And then on the day of
- 13:08Speaker 1: the shoot, he brings.
- 13:10Speaker 1: The ustas he bring the don't know, a lot of
- 13:12Speaker 1: people just so that to keep us safe. If he
- 13:14Speaker 1: say everything OK, but then he also scared. OK, anyway,
- 13:17Speaker 1: so I was quite freaked out lah, you know, because
- 13:20Speaker 1: I have to be there and I'm this, you know,
- 13:21Speaker 1: what everything got confused and want to bring me to
- 13:23Speaker 1: their world or whatever, right? Yeah, I was very scared.
- 13:25Speaker 1: I was literally very scared. I kept telling them like, um, OK,
- 13:28Speaker 1: after we're done, right, we can't go back straight. OK,
- 13:31Speaker 1: we have to like hang out first, you know, once, yeah,
- 13:33Speaker 1: once I get out of this whole, uh, attire lah.
- 13:36Speaker 1: So the whole, we had, we went to 3 different locations, um,
- 13:39Speaker 1: OCH was one of them and then the other one was,
- 13:42Speaker 1: I can't remember what was the name of the thing?
- 13:44Speaker 1: A boardwalk, Changi Boardwalk and then OCH and then Raintree Hotel. Yeah,
- 13:51Speaker 1: so we went to these 3 places and then, uh,
- 13:53Speaker 1: so the 1st 2 places I was fine and the
- 13:56Speaker 1: last one was OCH. So at OCH, um, we were
- 14:00Speaker 1: standing and trying to deliver our lines, right, and I
- 14:02Speaker 1: was really spooked out because they put us like
- 14:07Speaker 1: I got hand one. OK, so like this is the,
- 14:09Speaker 1: the hospital, right, and then there's like a gate right
- 14:12Speaker 1: here and then they, they put us like so near
- 14:16Speaker 1: and the cameras like there, you know, and as we
- 14:19Speaker 1: were about to deliver our lines, the camera was rolling
- 14:21Speaker 1: already and then something like I felt something behind me
- 14:24Speaker 1: like right over my shoulder just.
- 14:27Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really quick and it was, it was
- 14:30Speaker 1: right in my ear kind of. Yeah, just very, very, very,
- 14:34Speaker 1: very fast and I actually ran forward to the cameraman
- 14:37Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, no, no, yeah, I was, wait,
- 14:41Speaker 1: can we move in front a bit, move in front
- 14:43Speaker 1: a bit, yeah, yeah, it was so creepy and the
- 14:45Speaker 1: thing is that nobody heard anything, it was just me. Yeah,
- 14:48Speaker 1: everybody was just like, hey, OK, they're filming everything, OK, ah, OK.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Your head. Yeah, yeah, it was really quick, like very fast,
- 14:57Speaker 1: you know, like it doesn't even sound like, like a ghost,
- 15:00Speaker 1: it sounded like an animal or something like that. But,
- 15:02Speaker 1: but the thing is that it's right behind my ear,
- 15:04Speaker 1: my left ear. Yeah, so I was creeped out, man,
- 15:08Speaker 1: that one. I mean that's the only incident ever occurred
- 15:15Speaker 1: for me like.
- 15:16Speaker 1: I experienced it.
- 15:18Speaker 2: I mean, it's understandable lah. My theory is that it
- 15:20Speaker 2: wasn't a cuppy that scared her. I think I feel
- 15:23Speaker 2: like the cuppies like you playing them, another entity. It
- 15:27Speaker 2: was jealous lah, maybe Japanese soldier because they don't speak
- 15:32Speaker 2: the language. So like they were grunting, like, you know,
- 15:36Speaker 2: trying to scare you because you are not a real one.
- 15:38Speaker 2: You're not a real one Japanese.
- 15:44Speaker 2: You're killing him here. You're killing him here, right?
- 15:47Speaker 1: Japanese makes sense
- 15:48Speaker 2: because he's a
- 15:49Speaker 2: soldier, man. Then he like, like, you know, trying to
- 15:51Speaker 2: back then maybe he saw the thing then like yeah
- 15:55Speaker 1: and then they and then like, yeah, they like hike
- 15:59Speaker 1: maybe you know what that makes sense. Yeah,
- 16:03Speaker 2: so that happened.
- 16:04Speaker 2: So that's the only incident that happened to you while
- 16:06Speaker 2: you were
- 16:07Speaker 2: as
- 16:07Speaker 1: Auntie P. P.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Would you go to another supposedly haunted location dressed as
- 16:13Speaker 2: Auntie P if they ask you to do it again?
- 16:15Speaker 1: Never. No, I don't think we should ever, like, you know,
- 16:23Speaker 1: this year, was it a couple of months ago, Buddy
- 16:25Speaker 1: was like, what was I thinking? I'm making you go to?
- 16:28Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, what were you thinking? That was crazy.
- 16:31Speaker 2: OK,
- 16:32Speaker 2: so aside from
- 16:33Speaker 2: Your experiences dressed up as Auntie Bee. Have you had
- 16:36Speaker 2: any experiences
- 16:49Speaker 1: outside as Nuru Malaysia for a month, a month, yeah.
- 16:53Speaker 1: So each of us were given an individual room by
- 16:54Speaker 1: ourselves which I'm very grateful for.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Because one month, you know, one month of filming, so
- 16:58Speaker 1: it's nice to go back to your own room, right?

- 21:22Speaker 1: to throw all these unwanted quarry
- 21:24Speaker 2: quarry is the other side is behind reservoir.

- 21:32Speaker 2: up in Bedok, bro. You never go there explore, but
- 21:34Speaker 2: reservoir

- 21:36Speaker 1: Reservoir is one of the place.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Where my friends hang out, my friends hang out, wrong person.
- 21:44Speaker 1: My mom? OK, so my mom was possessed before and
- 21:47Speaker 1: this was when we moved into Bedok Reservoir View. Yeah,
- 21:51Speaker 1: so apparently that whole area is just, uh, I think,
- 21:54Speaker 1: I don't know what's up with that area, but a
- 21:55Speaker 1: lot of people say it's haunted lah. So when we
- 21:57Speaker 1: moved in, right, the day, the night that we moved
- 21:59Speaker 1: in after we carry all the boxes in and all that,
- 22:01Speaker 1: then my mom wanted to rest lah, so she wanted
- 22:03Speaker 1: to go inside the room, and she opened the door
- 22:04Speaker 1: and she closed it again, and she came out and
- 22:06Speaker 1: she's like.
- 22:07Speaker 1: I see, I see red eyes in the, in the room.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Then we were like, nah, you know, we just brushed
- 22:11Speaker 1: it off and everything, just seeing things, you're tired and
- 22:13Speaker 1: all that. So carried on, stayed there a couple of months,
- 22:16Speaker 1: and then my mom started.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Sort of changing like she keeps complaining and crying and
- 22:21Speaker 1: she keeps saying like, oh, she's here again, you know,
- 22:23Speaker 1: she keeps saying all these kind of things and
- 22:26Speaker 1: Me and my siblings kept making fun of it because we,
- 22:29Speaker 1: we didn't take her seriously, lah, you know, we thought
- 22:31Speaker 1: she's just overreacting, you know, imagining things, and then we
- 22:35Speaker 1: were so bad, guys. We were so naughty. There was
- 22:38Speaker 1: one time my mom was praying. She was at the
- 22:40Speaker 1: prayer mat and she started, she suddenly started sobbing, and
- 22:43Speaker 1: then she, then she's like, she's here again, lucky, and
- 22:47Speaker 1: then she's like, she's in front of me, you know.
- 22:49Speaker 1: And then we, we kind of like farted wherever she
- 22:53Speaker 1: was pointing at we were like, you know, me and
- 22:55Speaker 1: my sisters. I thought we are, I'm so sorry, ma. Sorry,
- 22:59Speaker 1: we didn't take her seriously. We were just like, come, come,
- 23:02Speaker 1: we help you earn that kind of thing lah.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Without realizing that she's speaking the truth, OK, we thought
- 23:07Speaker 1: she was just seeing things, OK, and then there was,
- 23:09Speaker 1: it got worse, it got worse because she started talking nonsense.
- 23:12Speaker 1: There was one time when she said, she called me
- 23:14Speaker 1: from my room, come here, come here, come here. You see,
- 23:15Speaker 1: I'm trying to do the laundry. I can't find my
- 23:17Speaker 1: red tail. She said, Where's my red tail? The red
- 23:20Speaker 1: pill is right in front of her eyes, bro. It's
- 23:22Speaker 1: right in front of her. And the thing is that
- 23:23Speaker 1: the moment I entered the kitchen, right, and then I
- 23:26Speaker 1: could smell flour, very strong flour smell.
- 23:30Speaker 1: And then, so I was like, Ma, it's right there.
- 23:33Speaker 1: And then the smell, I then I, I could sense, OK,
- 23:37Speaker 1: what's that very strong flower smell. Then that's, that was the,
- 23:40Speaker 1: the first, uh, the first time I felt like, OK,
- 23:42Speaker 1: maybe there's really something off like, you know. So when
- 23:44Speaker 1: I tell her the pills, right, then she said, oh, hey,
- 23:46Speaker 1: how come I didn't see it just now? OK, that,
- 23:48Speaker 1: and then it got really bad one day when um
- 23:52Speaker 1: we wanted to go eat McDonald's. My mom was like,
- 23:55Speaker 1: sometimes she's someone else, she's quiet, something she's just herself,
- 23:58Speaker 1: you know.
- 23:59Speaker 1: And we didn't think much of it, OK? So we
- 24:01Speaker 1: went out and then when we reached, uh, McDonald's, right,
- 24:04Speaker 1: we were eating fries and then suddenly the smell came
- 24:08Speaker 1: and the thing is that we are at McDonald's, OK,
- 24:10Speaker 1: suddenly got flower smell, right? And then the whole, my
- 24:13Speaker 1: whole entire family smelled it together, you know, we were like.
- 24:16Speaker 1: Then we were looking at each other, how come the
- 24:18Speaker 1: flowers smell, you know, and then my mom should be like, yeah,
- 24:21Speaker 1: she's here. And that's why we were like, wait a minute,
- 24:24Speaker 1: something is up, right? Because we smelled it there at McDonald's,
- 24:28Speaker 1: Tampines Mall. Like what the hell are you doing at
- 24:29Speaker 1: Tampines Mall? Chopping away.
- 24:32Speaker 1: That that same night was was when I think that
- 24:35Speaker 1: thing realized that OK, I finally got the whole family
- 24:37Speaker 1: on board and she decided to be like super aggressive,
- 24:41Speaker 1: you know, so we were like, OK, something is up
- 24:44Speaker 1: already we know something is up and then on the
- 24:46Speaker 1: way back.
- 24:48Speaker 1: My mom, uh, got possessed, OK, in the bus, in
- 24:51Speaker 1: the bus, SBS bus, OK. She just froze and she, she,
- 24:56Speaker 1: she stiffened her body up.
- 24:59Speaker 1: And her eyes rolled. This was in the bus, ah,
- 25:01Speaker 1: in the bus, and we were like, Oh my God.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Oh my God, what's happening? What's happening? And after that
- 25:05Speaker 1: we had to carry her off the bus, and I
- 25:06Speaker 1: thought everybody on the bus was so freaked out. No one. No,
- 25:09Speaker 1: no one helped. No, no one helped. Everybody was just like,
- 25:12Speaker 1: I think they think that no, they.
- 25:19Speaker 1: what's suddenly hot that you read like that hot I
- 25:21Speaker 1: swear it. Hey, don't want to read like that. Warn
- 25:24Speaker 1: me first, leh.

- 25:26Speaker 2: me already then read smoke tobacco.
- 25:29Speaker 2: OK,
- 25:32Speaker 1: yeah, so nobody did anything. I think people didn't, people
- 25:35Speaker 1: didn't know that it was possessed. I think people think
- 25:37Speaker 1: that she's sick or something, you know. Yeah, so people
- 25:40Speaker 1: were just like like that, but nobody like truly helped us.
- 25:43Speaker 1: So we had to carry her off the next bus stop. We,
- 25:45Speaker 1: we came down and we had to carry her. She
- 25:47Speaker 1: was so heavy, guys, like heavy. Yeah, so we carried
- 25:52Speaker 1: her off.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Uh, at the bus stop, she was still very stiff,
- 25:55Speaker 1: you know, and then there was one, but I think
- 25:56Speaker 1: there was a particular, uh, patchy, I think I can't
- 26:01Speaker 1: remember whether it was, uh, I can't remember lah, but
- 26:03Speaker 1: there was someone there who helped us get the taxi, la,
- 26:06Speaker 1: that time to have grab all la, huh. We got
- 26:08Speaker 1: into a taxi and it was Apache. OK, it was Apache,
- 26:12Speaker 1: and he, he was like this something is up with
- 26:15Speaker 1: your mom. I think you need to call Us or something.
- 26:18Speaker 1: He knows, I think he knows, you know, because my
- 26:20Speaker 1: mom was just very, very stiff, you know.
- 26:22Speaker 1: And then, uh, she said, he said like go and
- 26:24Speaker 1: call starts or something. I think there's something wrong with
- 26:26Speaker 1: your mom and he helped us bring her up lah.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Then the moment we reached home, my mom was just
- 26:31Speaker 1: like back, back to normal, back to normal like nothing
- 26:34Speaker 1: like that, but she started screaming. So she was, she
- 26:37Speaker 1: was uh
- 26:39Speaker 1: Both, yeah, she was both at the same time. She
- 26:41Speaker 1: was like, I know what you're trying to do to me.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Open the windows. I know who this is. Open the windows.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Then she asked me to take garlic. She said, Take
- 26:49Speaker 1: the garlic, put it between my toe and everything. So
- 26:51Speaker 1: I was, we were panicking. So we're just doing everything
- 26:53Speaker 1: that she told us to do. So we did everything,
- 26:55Speaker 1: but she was still like in and out. And then
- 26:57Speaker 1: after that my sister called my brother-in-law at the point
- 26:59Speaker 1: that they were, I think they haven't married yet lah.
- 27:02Speaker 1: And then ask him what we're supposed to do and
- 27:04Speaker 1: everything lah. Then he said, OK, I'm gonna call it.
- 27:05Speaker 1: We start to come, uh, the next day. Yeah, I know, right?
- 27:10Speaker 1: And then we were given instructions by the ustas. All
- 27:12Speaker 1: of us must sleep with my mom. You think, you
- 27:14Speaker 1: think we want to sleep with her.
- 27:17Speaker 1: We were like, Oh my God. Then we were like, OK, no,
- 27:19Speaker 1: you lie, you lah, you lah. Nobody wants to sleep
- 27:20Speaker 1: with my mom. In the end, everybody slept with my mom, lah. Yeah,
- 27:23Speaker 1: so we played the Koran the whole entire night, and
- 27:25Speaker 1: she was fine, totally fine the whole night. She was OK.
- 27:28Speaker 1: until the next day. So the ustas came right before
- 27:31Speaker 1: the ustas came, we all were, we all had to
- 27:33Speaker 1: put on the hijab lah. That time I was very young,
- 27:35Speaker 1: so none of, none of us had hijab hijabs on.
- 27:36Speaker 1: So we had to put on hijab and everything. Then
- 27:38Speaker 1: we still get like, hey, take photo lah, you know,
- 27:39Speaker 1: because like all of us first timer wear hijab, like, hey,
- 27:42Speaker 1: take photos.
- 27:42Speaker 1: So, and at that point in time, I know, right?
- 27:45Speaker 1: What the hell is wrong with me and my siblings?
- 27:48Speaker 1: Corona blame my sisters, ah, nonsense, you know. So we
- 27:52Speaker 1: all wear hijab. We didn't take a photo and that
- 27:54Speaker 1: time it was the ki chick that you have to
- 27:56Speaker 1: go and develop the film, ah, not, not like now
- 27:58Speaker 1: you can see straight away, OK, that, that one, that
- 28:00Speaker 1: one later we come back to the story, yeah. And then,
- 28:02Speaker 1: so we all, uh, waited for us starts to come.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Uars came, right? Then he asked my mom to sit.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Near the door. So this is the door. This is
- 28:11Speaker 1: the door. My mom's here, then all of us sat
- 28:13Speaker 1: in front. Eustas here la. So the Eustace was, uh, reading,
- 28:17Speaker 1: reciting some suras, and then he started talking. He said like,
- 28:22Speaker 1: Who are you? What do you want, you know, uh,
- 28:25Speaker 1: and then the thing answered in a man's voice. It
- 28:29Speaker 1: was a man. It was a man. So all along
- 28:31Speaker 1: my mom kept saying she, she, she.
- 28:33Speaker 1: And the voice was so scary until now I remember
- 28:36Speaker 1: because the usa kept asking what do you want? Who
- 28:38Speaker 1: are you? What are you doing here? He said, like
- 28:42Speaker 1: that and a man's voice. It was so freaky. All
- 28:46Speaker 1: of us, we had goosebumps and that was the moment
- 28:49Speaker 1: we knew, oh my God, Mom's been so scared of
- 28:51Speaker 1: this thing and we didn't believe her. We felt so
- 28:53Speaker 1: bad upon a time.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the start was like looking at us
- 28:58Speaker 1: like you didn't believe your mom, right? She gave us
- 29:00Speaker 1: that look, you know, and then he said, OK, um,
- 29:04Speaker 1: what I want you to do is I'm going to Azana.
- 29:05Speaker 1: So he, he says he's gonna, he's gonna Azan, and
- 29:08Speaker 1: he wants that thing to come out from her right finger,
- 29:12Speaker 1: from her forefinger. So he, he did azan and my
- 29:15Speaker 1: mom's body just like looked it, yeah.
- 29:20Speaker 1: And my mom's face changed completely. So all along, of course,
- 29:23Speaker 1: I see my mom as my mom, right, but I
- 29:24Speaker 1: didn't realize how different she looked until that thing, yeah,
- 29:28Speaker 1: it was so different. So, so that that thing is
- 29:32Speaker 1: actually
- 29:33Speaker 1: Something that lived there before the whole BTO flats was
- 29:36Speaker 1: even built. So
- 29:37Speaker 2: it's not
- 29:39Speaker 1: it's not it's not, it's not,
- 29:40Speaker 2: it's it's actually yeah,
- 29:41Speaker 1: it's
- 29:42Speaker 1: something that lives there for many years already and it
- 29:45Speaker 1: actually said like the tar, you are disturbing my house,
- 29:51Speaker 1: you know that thing said yeah.
- 29:52Speaker 1: So do start say, OK, now, um, and it's not a,
- 29:55Speaker 1: it's not a Muslim jin, yeah, it's not. So do
- 29:58Speaker 1: start say, yeah, go, go and find a mosque and
- 30:01Speaker 1: Maso Islam, that kind of thing lah. So that thing
- 30:04Speaker 1: came out from my mom's body. Then we were like,
- 30:05Speaker 1: Oh my God, OK, thank God everything's fine already. Then
- 30:07Speaker 1: we say, OK, everything should be fine now. So my
- 30:09Speaker 1: mom went into inside her room. She said, I want
- 30:11Speaker 1: to give us some money, lah. And she went inside
- 30:13Speaker 1: her room. Then Uta asked me to follow. Then after
- 30:15Speaker 1: that I, I followed her, and then the thing is
- 30:17Speaker 1: that my mom's wardrobe, right, when you open the wardrobe door, right,
- 30:19Speaker 1: there's a mirror that reflects to the toy toilet.
- 30:22Speaker 1: And the moment she opens up she's like, he's here
- 30:26Speaker 1: and the toilet is right behind me. I'm like, I
- 30:27Speaker 1: ran out and I got to start again. Whoa you
- 30:30Speaker 1: got Masia he's still here. And then after Uta came
- 30:32Speaker 1: in again, I said, OK, open all the windows. I'm gonna,
- 30:35Speaker 1: I'm gonna read one more time, you know, Sura, and
- 30:38Speaker 1: he said, I want you to get out. Like, don't
- 30:39Speaker 1: disturb this family anymore. Yeah. So he did it one
- 30:42Speaker 1: last time, but we all can't see la with this
- 30:44Speaker 1: thing really work or not, and it doesn't always show
- 30:47Speaker 1: itself to my mom, you see. So we don't know, so.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Then after that we start saying, OK, I hope everything's
- 30:51Speaker 1: gonna be fine now, but then, you know, we just
- 30:53Speaker 1: carry on like playing all the hura and everything for
- 30:55Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks and all that. So we
- 30:56Speaker 1: just kept playing it and then everything was fine. But
- 31:00Speaker 1: we went to develop the photo. My mom wasn't my mom. Yeah, yeah,
- 31:06Speaker 1: my mom was like a different person.
- 31:11Speaker 2: It
- 31:11Speaker 1: really
- 31:11Speaker 1: doesn't look like her.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Oh wait, so you, you, you and your sister, so
- 31:14Speaker 2: you took a picture with your mom. I thought it was.
- 31:19Speaker 2: In that condition, your mom, you guys wear hijab. Your
- 31:22Speaker 2: mom possessed already, yeah, then you, you guys take a
- 31:25Speaker 2: come on let's take a selfie. So is something wrong
- 31:29Speaker 2: with her essentially she and her sister took a photo
- 31:33Speaker 2: with a ghost inside the mom.
- 31:37Speaker 2: And, and, and I just got to bring it back, guys.
- 31:40Speaker 2: Let's not forget they farted on the ghost also. I thought, right,
- 31:43Speaker 2: they farted on the ghost. I thought when she said
- 31:45Speaker 2: take picture like all the sisters only with their mom
- 31:47Speaker 2: like the
- 31:47Speaker 2: ghost.
- 31:49Speaker 1: I know, I know. Oh my God, I know, I know.
- 31:52Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. We made my mom take photo with us, yeah, no,
- 31:57Speaker 1: we kept it. Oh, it's, I think at my sister's house, yeah.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Can I just say
- 32:02Speaker 2: I now understand.
- 32:04Speaker 2: The auntie P character so much more. Yeah, this is
- 32:07Speaker 2: kind of like the backstory. This
- 32:08Speaker 1: is, you
- 32:09Speaker 2: know,
- 32:09Speaker 1: right? You know, right, that's why that is Nuru Aini
- 32:13Speaker 1: but Nurul Aini is hiding.
- 32:15Speaker 2: I
- 32:16Speaker 2: see. So Bedok Reservoir View before all the HDB, it
- 32:18Speaker 2: was a forested area,
- 32:20Speaker 2: I believe so. Yes,
- 32:20Speaker 1: yes, yes, yes, yes. So
- 32:21Speaker 2: also you guys were the first ones to move into
- 32:24Speaker 2: like a, yeah, I know which one the one that's
- 32:26Speaker 2: attached to the car park.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Yes, correct, correct,
- 32:32Speaker 2: I live opposite you.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Well done. No, I got all the best, you know, really,
- 32:36Speaker 1: I'm sure you have fun from
- 32:37Speaker 1: now on.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Is it like because it's beside the PIE and then
- 32:40Speaker 2: like people say, oh, your house is beside the trees. Oh,
- 32:43Speaker 2: the trees. So because you are correct, the, the park
- 32:45Speaker 2: right in front of the corridor, right, you can see
- 32:48Speaker 2: the park, right, and then PIE and then Bedok Reservoir is.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I got stuff on. Then after the PIE, then
- 32:54Speaker 2: the car park. I always felt that the bridge that
- 32:56Speaker 2: link to the car park very creepy because I go
- 32:59Speaker 2: cycle at night before. It's quite creepy. I don't know
- 33:01Speaker 2: why that area is quite creepy actually. Yeah, actually the
- 33:03Speaker 2: whole that that it is, it is a north end.
- 33:07Speaker 2: So you, you, uh, somewhere in between both of your houses, right?
- 33:10Speaker 2: Then there's the Longkang, right? You know the Longang. So
- 33:13Speaker 2: I like to night cycle alone last time. So I
- 33:15Speaker 2: night cycle pass, right, you know, you.
- 33:17Speaker 2: You go towards, uh, Bedok North side, uh, the Block 85,
- 33:21Speaker 2: the food, the food court. So you go to the Longkang, right.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Then there's two sides. The left side more, more light.
- 33:26Speaker 2: The other right side is nearer to the, I think
- 33:29Speaker 2: the private estate. I like to cycle the right side
- 33:31Speaker 2: because darker estate. Yeah, there's a private estate on the
- 33:34Speaker 2: far end of the, uh, north. So I cycle past, right,
- 33:38Speaker 2: one thing very creepy happened to me. So I was
- 33:40Speaker 2: cycling and no light. So I got like the torch
- 33:42Speaker 2: on the bike, right? So cycling.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Then I passed this house, and it looks abandoned, super abandoned,
- 33:47Speaker 2: like tall grass, everything, but you know what they was
- 33:49Speaker 2: playing or not. It was playing the Chinese funeral music,
- 33:52Speaker 2: the prayers and more on straight away the hair stands, yeah,
- 33:57Speaker 2: then I cycle faster.
- 33:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why they go and play this song.
- 34:01Speaker 2: This one is to attract the ghosts on it and
- 34:02Speaker 2: then they want
- 34:03Speaker 1: to
- 34:03Speaker 1: attract the ghost, then you,
- 34:04Speaker 2: yeah,
- 34:05Speaker 1: and then you come like, Hey, wrong one, wrong one.
- 34:13Speaker 2: I cycle faster. I'm still alive. Actors who have portrayed
- 34:17Speaker 2: creatures and spirits have often said that people treat them differently.
- 34:20Speaker 2: Went there in costume and makeup. How have people reacted
- 34:23Speaker 2: to you being out in
- 34:24Speaker 2: Auntie's attire?
- 34:25Speaker 1: Oh my God, I tell you this very funny story.
- 34:28Speaker 1: So last year we had this Auntie. Last year we
- 34:31Speaker 1: went out. So there was one social media where I
- 34:38Speaker 1: have to be at Auntie with a very nice ribbon
- 34:40Speaker 1: interviewing people.
- 34:41Speaker 1: So a lot of people couldn't recognize me as Noodle.
- 34:44Speaker 1: I need la, you know, I was eating as Auntie P. No,
- 34:47Speaker 1: I didn't remove anything. I eat, eat, eat. Then after
- 34:49Speaker 1: that there's this, uh, there's this couple. Excuse me, yeah,
- 34:54Speaker 1: can I take a picture with you? Then I'm like, Yeah, yeah, sure.
- 34:56Speaker 1: They said, Hey, you sound like Noodle Aini. I went like, well.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Who's that? Surprise.
- 35:06Speaker 1: No, I need ala chi no put your pocket. They
- 35:11Speaker 1: were like, why you wear like that? They don't know.
- 35:14Speaker 1: This is my most beautiful look, yeah, so took picture
- 35:17Speaker 1: with them lah. So I mean, how they react? There's
- 35:19Speaker 1: a lot of people were freaked out. Like they didn't
- 35:21Speaker 1: even want to like talk to me. Like I had to.
- 35:23Speaker 1: I approached so many people when we were filming at
- 35:25Speaker 1: Tampines Interchange and
- 35:27Speaker 1: A lot of people just like wow, come on man,
- 35:32Speaker 1: I'm a puntana in daytime with yellow ribbon on my
- 35:35Speaker 1: head and with some pink stuff here, yeah, but most
- 35:38Speaker 1: of the time they don't really want to come near
- 35:40Speaker 1: me lah.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Yeah,
- 35:42Speaker 1: I don't think they're scared. They just don't want to
- 35:44Speaker 1: appear anywhere. Singaporean, come on up.
- 35:54Speaker 2: In a career so successful as yours, where does AuntyP
- 36:00Speaker 2: or Pontiana
- 36:01Speaker 1: rank? I mean, I loved.
- 36:06Speaker 2: This
- 36:07Speaker 1: is Noorani. I love all the characters that I play,
- 36:11Speaker 1: of course, but my favorite character is Auntie P.
- 36:19Speaker 1: It clap la sia.
- 36:23Speaker 1: OK, no, the funny thing is that, right, I realized
- 36:25Speaker 1: that the characters that I love to play are characters
- 36:28Speaker 1: that are very nonsensical. So number one is Auntie P.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Number 2 is there's this character that I play, um,
- 36:34Speaker 1: Kathy Guarantee, where she's a house agent. She wears a wig,
- 36:37Speaker 1: she's got no makeup on, she's got bucks tooth, braces.
- 36:41Speaker 1: She's basically an ugly nerd real estate agent. She's stupid.
- 36:46Speaker 1: So
- 36:48Speaker 1: I mean she looks stupid. She's not really stupid. She's
- 36:50Speaker 1: quite smart. Yeah, and I loved playing that character so much,
- 36:54Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, so I realized that it's I love
- 36:58Speaker 1: to play. I love very much a characters that I
- 37:01Speaker 1: can be myself. Yeah, where I don't have to act
- 37:04Speaker 1: and like sit straight and look pretty. I mean, Auntie
- 37:08Speaker 1: Pete is gorgeous, but
- 37:10Speaker 1: You know what I mean,
- 37:13Speaker 2: yeah,
- 37:13Speaker 1: no, well, I, I started this industry, ah, I was
- 37:17Speaker 1: 22 years ago is how old?
- 37:19Speaker 2: 2 years ago. I am
- 37:20Speaker 1: 22. I was 22 years old, OK. I asked you, Leslie,
- 37:22Speaker 1: you know.
- 37:24Speaker 1: But he still want to think for me
- 37:25Speaker 2: 22.
- 37:27Speaker 2: Very good
- 37:28Speaker 1: like this guy. OK, so I started when I was
- 37:30Speaker 1: 22 years old, you know, and I only got to
- 37:32Speaker 1: play Auntie P 3 years ago. So now it's been
- 37:34Speaker 1: a long time and then I got to play a
- 37:36Speaker 1: character that I really, really enjoyed.
- 37:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:40Speaker 1: Yeah. So, so it's like the best thing is that
- 37:42Speaker 1: no matter how old Nurul Aini gets, I still get
- 37:45Speaker 1: to be Auntie P because the uglier she looks, the
- 37:49Speaker 1: more convincing. Yeah, can you imagine like Nurul Aini when
- 37:53Speaker 1: she's 60 and I can still be
- 37:55Speaker 2: Auntie P.
- 37:57Speaker 1: It's like
- 37:58Speaker 2: more, more effective, more effective, you see,
- 38:00Speaker 1: ah, I, I like as Nu Aini, right? I'm really
- 38:02Speaker 1: like in my mid-40s, right? I won't get all those
- 38:05Speaker 1: like lovey-dovey like girlfriend boyfriend character. What I won't get anymore.
- 38:09Speaker 1: I won't get caught for that, but I can be
- 38:11Speaker 1: Auntie P for the rest of my life.
- 38:13Speaker 2: I
- 38:13Speaker 2: think I can imagine in like her being in her
- 38:15Speaker 2: 60s Auntie.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Then she wants to scare people, so she'll be slow. Ah,
- 38:28Speaker 1: back pain.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Cannot live in the
- 38:31Speaker 1: banana
- 38:32Speaker 2: tree
- 38:32Speaker 1: anymore.
- 38:37Speaker 2: This question is for everyone here and those watching at home.
- 38:41Speaker 2: There is a 2012 movie called Pontiana versus Orang Minya.
- 38:46Speaker 2: If you could produce a sequel to this, which other
- 38:50Speaker 2: supernatural creature would you have Cup B or Pontiana fight
- 38:55Speaker 2: on the screen?
- 38:58Speaker 1: Oh my God,
- 38:59Speaker 2: Ponti versus Oak Pontiana.
- 39:05Speaker 1: I'll take any. No, no.
- 39:06Speaker 2: I would I would say the same thing.
- 39:09Speaker 1: It's so easy. You push. You push the thing roll
- 39:14Speaker 1: cannot move.
- 39:15Speaker 1: But Auntie P,
- 39:16Speaker 2: don't feel like got any challenge
- 39:17Speaker 1: bullies. I mean this one like physical 100, you know, yeah,
- 39:22Speaker 1: so you choose the easy target, you win, you
- 39:25Speaker 2: move on.
- 39:26Speaker 1: This is smart. Punt 100
- 39:28Speaker 2: kg or something small Kuman Kuman Kuman is germ,
- 39:32Speaker 1: right.
- 39:37Speaker 2: Oh,
- 39:38Speaker 1: is it Thai version of Toyo.
- 39:42Speaker 2: Oh,
- 39:44Speaker 1: I got Thai version of Toyo. Why is it called Kuman?
- 39:47Speaker 2: So we have, uh, I think from both of us.
- 39:50Speaker 2: How about you? I will say.
- 39:52Speaker 2: Western Vampire Western Vampire Fontana versus vampire East versus West.
- 39:58Speaker 2: So it's like vampire is like the equivalent of Fontana
- 40:00Speaker 2: in
- 40:00Speaker 1: a way, but quite tough, you know. I know,
- 40:03Speaker 2: quite
- 40:03Speaker 2: tough lah, but I'm not the one doing the fighting,
- 40:07Speaker 2: the vampire like Edwards, that's right. If, if it's any consolation.
- 40:13Speaker 2: If I had to place bets, I will bet on
- 40:15Speaker 1: Cupy of course. Don't worry, she'll win pride,
- 40:17Speaker 2: bro.
- 40:18Speaker 2: exactly.
- 40:19Speaker 2: I
- 40:20Speaker 1: believe in Auntie.
- 40:26Speaker 1: OK, what about you,
- 40:28Speaker 2: uh, Sadako?
- 40:29Speaker 2: Oh,
- 40:30Speaker 1: is she very slow, good.
- 40:31Speaker 2: That's right. No, I already know, uh, what she's gonna say. A,
- 40:34Speaker 2: you fell into the well,
- 40:36Speaker 1: and she's so slow la. Come on.
- 40:41Speaker 1: My God, I can sleep first wait for her to arrive.
- 40:43Speaker 2: already
- 40:43Speaker 1: la. Can fight already or not. She's still.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Oh, I tell you, I will lose patience. Ah, just
- 40:52Speaker 1: kill
- 40:52Speaker 2: finish,
- 40:55Speaker 1: yeah, Turn off TV can come out.

- 41:11Speaker 2: It is time to call it a wrap for this episode. Kyle,
- 41:15Speaker 2: can you share with us our morbid fact of the day?
- 41:17Speaker 2: So some people dress up as the Pontiana for a
- 41:20Speaker 2: role or for Halloween, but in 2021, right, a woman
- 41:24Speaker 2: in Malaysia decided to put on Kapi's infamous blood-stained dress,
- 41:29Speaker 2: wore red contact lens and a face mask with jagged
- 41:32Speaker 2: teeth painted on it.
- 41:33Speaker 2: And went to a vaccination center to get a COVID jab.
- 41:37Speaker 2: She was met with cheers from some people and some
- 41:39Speaker 2: other people were screaming taco, which is Malay for scared.
- 41:45Speaker 2: I think it's very hard lah. Like after you see
- 41:47Speaker 2: about Diana, you tense up, cannot, cannot jab.
- 41:51Speaker 1: That's real. Like that happened. That's why that
- 41:53Speaker 2: actually
- 41:54Speaker 2: happened. There's a video online they cosplay you. They cosplay
- 41:56Speaker 2: you lah. Why?
- 41:58Speaker 1: But it's so fun. I would do it.
- 41:59Speaker 2: It's fun. But why? Why? I think like COVID, then
- 42:05Speaker 2: everyone everybody so down like just go
- 42:08Speaker 1: to
- 42:08Speaker 2: brighten up.
- 42:09Speaker 1: That's funny. I would do that.
