• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Up next
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Good morning. Welcome to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the weekend. It's finally here, but this also marks your
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: final chance to walk away with NDP actual day tickets.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And at just past 9:00 a.m. you'll be OK. You'll
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: be OK. We've got Jasmine Soko joining us. Singapore's number
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: one hit music station.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe that this time last week I was
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: in Belgium. Time flies. Seriously, like what, what just happened?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of how it flew by
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and then coming back with the time difference and all that,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you know, and then jumping straight back to work with you.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It just almost doesn't feel real that several days have
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: gone by.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Actually, I wonder how are we going to top your
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Tomorrowland experience. I hope it does get topped, but uh,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: maybe EDC. I don't know. EDC or for myself, I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: want to go to Glastonbury one day. Actually, I think
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: they also announced that there's going to be a Tomorrowland
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Vegas next year, if I'm not wrong, 2027.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: And end of this year, there's gonna be a Thailand version. Yeah,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: so they're really expanding, although, of course, I think Nothing
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: beats the original. You still have to go attend the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: original once in your life. But I think the Thailand.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I think Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, they're all gonna fly
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: into Thailand. Yeah, so it's gonna be a very different
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: vibe because the last time I attended a music festival
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in Thailand was Rolling Loud hip hop, like hip hop R&B.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So it's a very different, different taste of music.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Um, if you like electronic music, I don't know whether
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: tickets are still available. What last I heard was, it
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: was sold out. Still can't believe Oliver Tree is gone, but, uh, really,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: things are so unexpected. Please give your loved one a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: hug this morning. Check in on them. Check in on them.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I think that's very important. Yeah, number one. Anyway, uh,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: before we open up phone lines and get your dedications
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and someone might walk away with Alex Warren tickets, um,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this particular thing happened where I think people just face palmed.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I believe some fans here in Singapore that were trying
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to buy BTS concert tickets, ended up being issued the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: click 5 tickets instead. Wait, wait, you know, the click Five,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the band from what the early 2000s, and Carl Patrick,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: who was here, an acquaintance of ours that whenever he's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore, we try to bring him in because
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: he's fantastic. Exactly. But how did this happen? They clicked
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the wrong band or what?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Um, there was an account from a um person that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was actually sharing with the news outlet. After queuing virtually
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: for hours, um, you know, when you got to the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: ticket selection page, this particular buyer completed the payment without
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: carefully reviewing the details because she was already like, you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: quite anxious about it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Um, but yeah, so only when she checked her confirmation,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: she realized it was not for BTS but for the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Click 5. So, I think um they're performing on the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: 29th of August, which is months before the, the BTS concert,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: but tickets were both sold on the same website, OK?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: So how did this happen? I think um they tried
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to investigate and said that the, the, the organizers said
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: there was no glitch, but they're trying to figure out
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: what
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: What went down? Could it be a careless mistake or
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: was it really a glitch? She claims that she was
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: on the BTS page and she couldn't have been queuing
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: for hours on the click Fives page, you know what
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I mean? OK, I'm gonna be bad cop here, right? OK,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you think that was a mistake and I consider maybe
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: there could be a smear campaign. No, really, maybe the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: BTS tickets were so hard to come by. Really? This
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: person might have cooked up a story saying, hey, I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: wanna buy.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: BTS tickets, but the website brought me to click first.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: So it's the website's fault. The website now owes me
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a pair of tickets. Wow, that's my bad cop point
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of view. OK. Perhaps you're not wrong. You may not
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: be wrong. Um, I know that you're always the go
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to person when it comes to conspiracies. I can rely
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: on you for that. Thank you. No, no, but if
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: this is a legit accident, I hope that I feel
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: for this lady, exactly 100%, yeah, OK.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Hello, hello, good morning. What's your name? Josh. Hi Josh
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: school are you from? Pasir Ris Primary School. Pasir Ris
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Primary School. Hey, that's your hood, Sonia. Yeah, I grew
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: up in Pasir Ris. So Josh, what has been fun
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: about Pasir Ris Primary School so far? My friends. Your
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: friends and which level are you in this year? Primary 5. OK,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: what song can we get you this morning then? Love
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: by Taylor Swift. Love.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, interesting choice. Who is it going out to? Going
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: out to my mom. Gotcha. It's coming up right now.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You have a great day, OK? And also congrats, Josh,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you're walking away with Alex Warren tickets. Enjoy yourself at
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the concert. We cannot wait. It's happening in August. Stay tuned.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: This is Taylor Swift. When you came into the office
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: this morning, did you notice how full the moon was? No,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you didn't.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Look at the moon? I was looking at the closing
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: your eyes most of the time. Well, I wish you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: opened your eyes and looked at the moon, or maybe
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it's not so easy for you as a passenger because
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: as a driver, I've got a full, like clear window, right?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Clear glass. So as I was driving to work, I noticed, wow,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the moon is very full today. It was brightly lit,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it was illuminating the whole sky, you know.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And uh I was very curious, so I did a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: quick search. Wait, wait, I'm just telling you that there
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: is the moon or what? Actually, there is a name
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: for it and it's called a waning gibbous phase moon
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: with 99.9% of its surface visible. You lost me at waning, OK.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: So, um, it, it is pretty much like a full moon, just, uh,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: last night slash this morning.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: So if you are, you can't see it anymore, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: this is actually apparently an Aquarius full moon of pivotal change.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: What does it mean for us humans? So astrologers consider
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: this a major lunar event, emphasizing the balance between Leo
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and Aquarius. You're part Leo, right? So you should be
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: able to relate to this. So it brings breakthroughs of
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: future goals and letting go of energy draining situations.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Letting go of energy draining situations. Apparently that's the, that's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the meaning of this full moon. Can't be more wrong.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? Hello, I'm still tired. You never
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: let go of your draining situation. What? It's nonsense lah. OK,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: if you believe in it. I knew this would annoy you.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: That's what I want to do. Enjoy. So yet another
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: story about um buying packages, especially when it comes to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: beauty packages. What did you do? I didn't do anything.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Trust me, trust me.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: In fact, I went for a facial like maybe 2
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: weeks ago at the usual place that I go to,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and they don't ever really try to pressure me at all. Yeah,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: which is, which is what I appreciate even though I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: know that mess in the long run, if I buy
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a package of 10, I'll get more savings, but the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: fact is I don't want to drop like thousands of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: dollars now, you know what I mean? Yeah, but the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: packages as well and also for example, if it's a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: not established company, they can always collect your money.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: disappear, disappear, open a brand new name, you can't do
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: much as well. That's the concern, that's the concern. So
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: this particular beauty store, shop, um that does these services also,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you know, facials and all that, right, um, they were
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: found to have applied a set of pressure tactics on
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: their customers since 2023, by the way, so it's been
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: going on for a few years. And here are some
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: things that they try to do, OK. So for example,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you finish your, you're done with your treatments already.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: But what they do is they intentionally put one more
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: face mask for you, one more face mask, so that you're,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you're stuck there for another what, 1520 minutes to trap you.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Then during that period of time, they're going to try
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and sell you the package again if they were not successful.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So they pressure you until you agree to make a purchase.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: On top of that, they even probed and ask, oh,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: how many credit cards you have, or, you know, like, oh,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: what credit card you use. So, I think it's to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: kind of find out the, the customer's ability.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: To spend and their eligibility for promotions like, oh, you
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: don't have this card. Oh, don't worry, this card also
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: can I also have promotion for this card. I'm not
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: going to name the stores, but there are some outlets
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: over at Wisma Atris basement. Oh, I know the ones
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: where they try to force the sample on you, right,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: as well as Marina Basins. Whenever I walk on my own,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: they won't touch me. But when I'm with some girl,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: oh ma'am, your skin very nice my skin not nice,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: is it? Hello? No, if they give, if they give me,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, are you saying my skin is not nice?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You're saying I need to fix my skin lah, is it? No,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: your skin enhance it. You can't know. I actually feel
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: like I've seen that less and less now. So I've
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: walked around MBS and Wisma recently. I wonder if anyone's
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: complained that they feel uncomfortable.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: My theory, I don't think they are approaching locals anymore.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: They are approaching tourists or people who don't look like
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: they're from Singapore. Yeah, OK. Sometimes I like, I got
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: trapped there once, by the way, I got stuck. You
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: broke up. Yeah, but, but you know, in the end
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you'll be very proud of me. I walked away. I
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: managed to say no. I managed to say no. I
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: was stuck there for like 10 minutes.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: But anyway, um, I think where we draw the line
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: when it comes to these things, especially, is when they
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: target the vulnerable people. And I was quite angry to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: see that I think they were trying to check the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: CPF balances of some elderly customers by getting information from them, um,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: asking them to like direct them to the nearby bank
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to withdraw money, you know, that kind of thing, and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: they're elderly.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Here's my question. Who trained these sales people, right? Some crook, maybe,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But the good news is this particular
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: beauty chain has been, they've been caught already, and I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: think they are legally required to refund about $1 million
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: worth of money to all their customers. So I think
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: justice has been served. Be very careful which outlets you're
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: signing packages to.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I think like Joakim said earlier, best to go to
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the reputable ones. Yeah, and not just for skincare, but
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: even your hair care and all that as well. Be
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: extra careful. Anything can be turned into a package nowadays, OK? I,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and I used to be a victim. Now I'm changed.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Then for us here at 987, everything is free. No
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: need to sign. Just tune in when you want. That's true, yeah, exactly.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Before I get to my story about shaming uniformed personnel,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I want to give Wish and Imman a shout out
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and look for giant.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Stand alone, you might not really understand it, but once
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you watch NDP 2026 and you see the, you see
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and hear the arrangement along with the people's choir and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the Paralympians coming on stage, it will make all the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: sense in the world. So watch the show to get
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: more meaning. It's like how sometimes when you listen to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: a song versus when you watch the music video and
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: listen to the song, you're like, oh, OK, I get
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it now. There you go. Alright, um, look, to my
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: fellow Singaporeans, especially if
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: You're active on Facebook and all your complaints Singapore pages.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I know that it's become a cesspool of people just
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: voicing their angers and everything. Some are valid. Some, when
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I see the complaint, I'm like, how is this a complaint? Why? Yeah,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: if you want to get triggered within 30 seconds, can
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: go there and read some stuff. Yeah, so apparently a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: netizen took to that page to complain about a group
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: of NS men on a public bus, OK, and the complaint.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Reed taking up our time boarding and alighting when Jurong
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Camp is so close by. Can't SAF do something to
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: discourage this kind of disruptive behavior? What? What? Please tell
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: me this person got slammed on social media. Yes, OK,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: thank you. Thank you. And this gives me a bit
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of hope. At least the comment section, right? Well, like,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: what you want them to do? Hello? What route march
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to camp, is it? What? How else will they get
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: there exactly? So this is why.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: When I take public transport, and I love my trains
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore, yeah, I don't dare sit down unless
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you tell me the train is very empty because you,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you never know how someone is just out there to
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: make life difficult for you, and I always stand at
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: one corner, especially the circle line where you can stand
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: near the window and look at the train tracks.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I do. Yeah, I know my quiet corner
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: quiet corner. My favorite comment is, la, without them you
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: don't even have a country. One of the netizens. Is
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that wrong? Yeah, yeah, that's why I said. So that's
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: why sometimes in and this was for me during my
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: BMT and when I was serving my sergeants and my officers,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: they said, guys, if you're wearing a uniform.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Just do your best. Don't sit down, because that was
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: already the birth of stomp back then and people were
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: stomping all the NS men and NSS who were sitting
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: down on public transport. But they're so tired. Exactly, right?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: But there is that public image of, no, you're wearing uniform.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: You must be strong. You must stand up, you know,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you must show that you're macho. I mean, yeah, but
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: what if I'm traveling from like Clementi to Pasir Ris,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I've done when I was doing that, um, because I
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: went to school literally in the west and I went
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: from the east, right? Um I developed this skill of
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: somewhat falling asleep while standing up.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Like I can kind of be like half conscious when
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I'm standing.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a skill. The next time you take
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the MRT, I'll be the one taking a picture. This girl,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: how can stand up and sleep? Pretend. I mean, hey,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you should be giving up your seat to me. Why? Because,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: just because, you, you run so much, you know, your
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: legs are stronger. Yeah, I need to sit. I need
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to rest. You know how entitled you sound right now. Hello.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: No, only when it comes to you. Anyone else, I'll
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: give my seat up. All throughout this week, we've been
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: giving away actual day NDP tickets, very, very coveted. So
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: we understand the phone lines have been jammed up. People
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: have been repeatedly trying to call, but are you lucky
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: enough to get through the phone lines? This whole week,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I felt like Quizmaster Joe and I promise you.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I've kept the questions very, very easy, and I did.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: So I think even today's one, I'm looking at those. Yeah,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: but sometimes it can be a little tricky, you know.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So we wish you all the best. Let's see who
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: we have on the phone lines. Hello. Hi, good morning.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Good morning. What's your name? My name is Vivian. Hello, Vivian.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Where are you right now? At home. Vivian.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Are you ready for a quiz? Yeah, I try. Vivian
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: all three answers right. Yeah. Here we go. Vivian, your
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: very first question. In what year did Benjamin King officially
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: release the song Not Alone? Is it A 2025 or
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: B 2024? B, B is correct. Your next question, complete
• 15:08

• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I would because I do have an uncle Gray magnet, um,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: but this.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I have it, to be honest.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I just have one. it's a little small, but I,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I would have loved to have other types of quay,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's so cute. What a fun activity.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: So being saying a big thank you to when I
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: was 4_SGo ceramic and mochiar.sg. Here's what you have to do. 669-11987.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: You call us. We hope to get as many sellers
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: as possible, and we'll pick the best one.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Because when I say seller, what you're doing is selling
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: us your neighborhood. Yeah, tell us what's great about it.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: What is, what is that one unique selling point of
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: your neighborhood? For example, Sonia, where would you identify yourself
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to be? I'm an East Coast, East Coast. Look, Coast
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: needs no more flexing, OK? People want to join us.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: So they have to sell themselves to us. OK, but
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: if you had to sell Coast, what would you include
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: in that? Tell us.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: The obvious one has to be the local food. OK.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Everywhere I turn in the East Coast, there's 100% good,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: solid local food. But I think what is also overlooked
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: sometimes is the fact that it's that community spirit in
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: East Coast. Everyone kind of seems to know each other.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Like you walk around, you're like, hey, like you become
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: friends with a bartender, you become friends with the young
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: tofu seller, you know, that kind of thing. So that's,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: that's East Coast for you. You get a really great
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: mix of, of things there. I like it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Well done. And opposite in East Coast Park. Great sales pitch.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Very good. 669-11987. It is that simple. Sell us your neighborhood. Um, today,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the 31st of July before we move into the month
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: of August, which I can't believe time is really flying by.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Um, we're really going into full gear all things National Day,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: and we've got a package coming your way right now.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: So I think our listeners, Sonia are rebels. I said
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: call us, but no, all sending texts. Sure, sure, it's OK,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: we can still read it out. Maybe you're busy at
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: work or whatsoever. So I want to say hello to
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Dominic who's selling us the area of Tampines. OK, let's go. Hey,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Jo, why leave when everything can come to you?
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: We have 3 malls. You've got the IKEA, Giant Courts, Parks,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: sports hub, good food. If Singapore had a city within
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a city, this is it. I'm guessing the sports hub,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you meant our Tampines hub, OTH. Yeah, actually, I don't
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: disagree because I used to live in Pasir Ris, right,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and prior to Pasir Ris, I was quite near Tampines
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: area as well and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: It was always very overwhelming in a good way because
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you have too many choices in the Tampines area. It's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: very populated, but I remember, um, I spent a lot
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of my secondary school time, especially after we ended exams. Um,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: there was an arcade in Tampines Mall that my friends
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and I would go to, that was the nearest one
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: for us. So great memories. Hey guys, I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: The area of Holland Village. Wow, that one only selling.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I know it's good. We got plenty of wine bars
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and if you live around the Holland area, dogs that
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: are probably healthier than you. I love that. That's quite true.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel that it's quite therapeutic just to walk
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: through Holland because I see all these happy dogs. If
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the dogs could speak, I think they would be the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: ones selling Holland Village. Yeah, they'd be like, hell yeah,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: come here.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: punk rock. OK, what would that be? Hell yeah, come here.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Come to Holland Village. Like a bulldog. OK, yeah, yeah,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: sounds like it. Do I look OK I remind you
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: of a bulldog. I was gonna say, do I remind
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: you of a bulldog? Don't answer. 669-11987. OK, fine. We'll
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: open the WhatsApp numbers as well. 9005097. Text us and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Sell us your neighborhood. Yeah, yeah, but if you can
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: call us, we would love to hear your voice also. Um,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: you know, and I only hear each other's voices every day.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: We would love to hear your voice. 669-11987. A prize
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: worth $250 could be coming your way. Wow. We are
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: getting you to flex your neighborhood all for a National
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Day bundle that 987 has in store for you. And
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: let's read out one more before we go to Angela
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: on the line.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering whether our phone lines glitching or not because
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: people are saying, hey Sonia and Jokim I know I'm
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: supposed to call through but I can't call in. Oh,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: it's OK. We'll read it out. Yeah, we have the best. OK,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: here we go. So your username, I don't really have it,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: but what it says is, Hey Sonia and Joakim, I
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: stay in Lento. Wow, if you love loud noises.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: And dust, you'll love Lentor because there are 5 new
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: condos launching in the area. Also, it's really far from offices,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: but who wants to be near their office, Am I right?
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: But all jokes aside, I love Lentor for multiple reasons.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Having all the new condos means there's going to be
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: a new life, new people, and new opportunities for everyone.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Can't wait to have people open facials inside their houses.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: It's super near the central water catchment area. So if
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: you're staying on a higher floor, you have great views
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: of the reservoir and forest. And even if you don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: stay on a high floor, you are quite close to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: nature trails, and I love that. And there's also, and
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I agree with this one, Spring Leaf Prata nearby. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. OK,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: that one is definitely a big selling point. Spring Leaf
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: from OG, the original one, right? Not East Coast or wherever,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Spring Leaf. Why why why why you the Coast? I mean.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I mean it's all part of the same chain, right? Yeah, yeah,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: it's just that that's the OG one if I'm right,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: it's just like Katong laksa when it's not in Katong. Exactly,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: there you go. OK, Angela is on the line right now.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: What about you? OK,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: so I stay in the infamous Yishun.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, here we go.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Yay.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: OK. So why would I recommend Yishun? OK, firstly, if
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: you want drama, you can read all about it in
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the news, right? If you want nature things, we have
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: the Seletar Dam, very beautiful, and we are near Springleaf
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Nature Park and Lower Pierce Reservoir, a short distance away.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Right. And if you want, we also can fly you
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: to KL because we're very near Seletar Airport, just across
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: the dam. Yes. And of course, we have an Orchid
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Country Club for those who want to play golf or
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: even want to try out golf things, right? And most importantly,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: with North Point around, you have no worry for food options.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, we have a fast food haven here. We
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: have Arnold's Fried Chicken, Moss Burger, KFC, McDonald's, Burger King.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: John's, Popeye's all in the vicinity of
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: North Point.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and don't forget North Point also has Tau complicated
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: car park.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: No Tilau, we have Tian Xiang. We also have the
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: only other outlet of Hakka Yu except for that in
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Jewel. Angela, you really sound like you know Yishun inside out.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Have you been living there like your whole life?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Uh, no,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: lah, just 3 years.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: she knows it so well. OK, but Angela, do you,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: do you live in the Yishun Ring Road where they
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: call it the devil's circle? Why do they call it that?
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Because Yishun Ring Road is one circle there,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: but not exactly.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: So you are still safe, open inverted commas from all
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the drama. I'm just kidding. No, no, no.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Technically, yes, technically, yes, because some of the cases that
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: went on, uh, it's just one road away.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, OK, OK. Thank you so much for sharing, uh,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: sharing more about your neighborhood.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. Thank you.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Have a great day. Flexing your neighborhood here today. We're
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: going straight to Joe on the text. You're saying, morning,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Joakim. I'm here to sell W Woodlands. Firstly,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: we're the nearest to JB, much nearer, um, to, to
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: arrive at JB than CBD for work actually.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: And point number 2, we have Mandaiz Zoo, Rainforest, River
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Wonder Night safari, board, or you just want to get
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: a breather, get the annual pass and just head there
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: for a couple of hours. Oh, that's, that's a really
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: good suggestion actually. No one has ever told me about that. I,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I have friends living in Woodlands. I don't think they
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: have this pass.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: And the third one, we have red line, brown line,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and buses all the way to Changi. Yeah, you got
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: a good point. Jew is on the line too. What
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: neighborhood are you flexing today?
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: So, so, um, outside is Phi Panjang because I just
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: moved here like 10 years ago, and it's one of
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: the best decisions because, um, this neighborhood is very self-sufficient.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Like we have two malls, we have a children's library
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: that's actually run by volunteers.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: We also have like fork we have banal so we
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: can like literally eat what we want, like different variety,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: different cuisines.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I keep hearing about the kom because from Joe you
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: tried it a long time ago, right? I will travel
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: to Bukit Panjang just to have the cur. It's that good?
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: It's that good. OK, OK, yeah, at 2 a.m.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Yes,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: because it tastes better at 2 a.m., after, after another partying, yeah.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Wait, I have a question. Have you tasted it at
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: a normal waking hour, like not at 2 a.m.? Yeah,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: so I work from home a.m. in the morning. Is it?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I do with the broth.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Because they are the store opens from like 10 a.m.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to about maybe 11 a.m. in the morning. So it's
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: an overnight, but people would go. I mean, I guess sometimes,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: you know, remember.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Like a long time ago we used to go to
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: this bachomi place, uh, in Clark Quay, right? Yankee and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: we realized that I don't know whether it's because we
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: ate it at 3 a.m., that's why it tastes so good,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: you know, you're like in that very hungry post-clubbing hunger,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: but can I also say I envy people at Bukit
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Panjang because they live right next to the rail corridor, right. Right. Wow,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for flexing. Now you make people
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: want to move there also.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: And it's so near to
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Austria. It's a book. It's a book like uni student
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: back then. It's so good. Like you just have to
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: take the bus and reach Orchard.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: There you go. Thank you so much for sharing. You
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: have a great weekend, OK.

• 26:32
  Speaker 1: as a tourist to Bukit Panjang, you would love it,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: but to really live there, you must fall in love
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: with it truly at a whole new level. Well, yeah,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I mean she said she moved there in her days
• 26:44

  Speaker 1: The National Day bundle courtesy of us here on 987
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: worth almost $250. It is coming your way. Nice. OK,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: in just about um
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Less than 3 hours, we're gonna be headed to the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: CBD area, specifically right outside the Raffles Space MRT. Joakim
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: and I have a bit of a, uh, a debate
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: to settle. It's a friendly one. A friendly debate. When
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: it comes to crab.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Here in Singapore. Are you more of a black pepper
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: crab or a chili crab person? What should be the
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: flavor for Singapore? With the amount of people who come
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: to Singapore and they always go for the chili crab,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I would say chili crab. However, however,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I also do have a preference for the pepper crab sometimes. Yes, refreshing.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: So justice for black pepper crab. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say no to it. So I guess you're gonna
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: be on team chili. I will take chili crab and
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I'm on team black pepper. So let's see if we
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: can settle the score later on by getting you to
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: vote for your favorite crab flavor at the CBD area later, OK? Again,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: both are good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We we just want
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: one winner. Yes, both are good, but which one's better.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: So competitive. OK, you know what, if you happen to
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: see us around the Raffles Place area, don't run away.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Please come say hi, take a photo, um, and vote.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: That's all you gotta do. Yeah, easy, easy.
