• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Good next.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Welcome to the middle
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: of the week in your first week of May. We
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: have incredible prizes coming up your way, including a bubble
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: tea treat. And I feel so happy I can finally
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: give you my honest review of Mortal Kombat 2. It's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: officially out in cinemas. Yeah. Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Gonna say this though, I was very happy last night,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: was at the premiere of Mortal Kombat 20 yes, how
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: was it? You know what? OK, now I can say this.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: We actually had a screening way in advance before we
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: spoke to Ludy Lim. And when I watched it, I said, OK,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: this is fan service. If you play Mortal Kombat, you're
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: gonna appreciate everything the directors and the makers of the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: movie chose to do in this film.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: And if you're not a fan, they make it very
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: easy for you to understand. OK, so basically what you're
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: saying is accurate adaptation from the game, so fans will
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: not be disappointed. What did they improve on versus Mortal Kombat?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Because I personally enjoyed Mortal Kombat. I don't follow the game.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: The storyline. I just know that when I was in Poly,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: all the boys made fun of my name because there's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a character called Sonia. Yes, Sonia Blake. What they improve on,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I cannot really say yet because it could be a spoiler,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: but the focus on Johnny Cage was very nice. Karl Urban,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: take a bow, well done to him, and the fight
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to look out for if you're going to watch it
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: in cinema. It's not a spoiler. It's between Revenant Kung Lao.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And Liu Kang, that's the highlight. Fight of the movie.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Trust me on this one. Got you on that. I'm
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: definitely gonna watch it after I watched The Devil Wears Prada,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: which I already just made a date for early next week.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I'm very far behind. I got no time to go
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and watch a movie. I'm quite sad you are watching that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And you've not seen Project Hail Mary yet. I know
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you need to. Is it still in cinemas? Yes, limited screenings. OK,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: maybe I'll just go watch it myself lah. I'll watch
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it with you because it's like, you know, you want
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to align with people, timing, all that. It's like it
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't work out. Given how I've seen it already. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: wouldn't mind some live commentary from who I wonder. That's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: not me. I'm very quiet. I'm very quiet in the cinema.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Wonder how that.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: is treating him Charlie Puth. I hope he doesn't stop
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: making the Professor Charlie videos on TikTok. Yeah, yeah. I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: love it whenever he breaks down music and he identifies
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: chords and he shows us pitch, and gives us a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: walkthrough of the songs that he has produced. Yes, yes,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and he's an excellent producer on top of a singer
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and songwriter, I guess.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: In the office and in school, if your friend or
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: colleague supports Arsenal, they might be smiling very widely right now.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: They've made it to the finals of this year's Champions League. Congrats.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And yes, for all the times I poked fun at them,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: credit when credit is due. Congratulations, Arsenal. Congratulations. So they
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: did well. They put on a show. Yeah, so Bukayo Saka.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: He showed up when the team needed him the most,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna make a very small prediction, a bit
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of football talk here for England, yeah, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Declan Rice, and Bukayosaka. These 4, if they show up
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in peak performance at the World Cup, these 4 might
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: just win England the World Cup as well. Oh, so
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: they're all on the same team. Uh, I mean, they're
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: playing for England, yeah.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: But they're all, that's what I meant, yeah, they're playing
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: for the country. They're all doing well for their different clubs. Yeah, OK,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: thanks for the info I didn't ask for. I mean,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: at least be excited for the World Cup, OK, because
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: given how the games, given how the games are happening
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in the morning, I'll be watching it while doing the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: show with you not allowed. Yes, it is. No, it's not.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So then why me watch is the official carrier, huh?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So I'm, I'm a supportive staff, OK. Oh, so that
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: gives us permission to to watch football during our show
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: during work time. I mean, just leave it in the background.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Support me watching. So you say it out loud, is
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: it like I tell you one of our bosses is
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: gonna come in and check on you. My, my, my
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: bosses should be, oh, Joakim is supporting me, you know. Yes,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it doesn't work that way.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: You can try. I'm gonna ask boss Dennis to come
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: in early to catch you. By the way, are the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: official carriers, so go and subscribe and hopefully you can
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: catch all 98 games. And uh taking you to our
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: TikTok space right now where there's always gonna be a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: debate about certain places in Singapore and Yishun somehow is
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: always the center of attention. I mean, the usual suspects
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: are Yishun, Jurong, Bukit Panjang, Tampines.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Tampines, OK, alright, yeah, maybe, maybe, yeah, Tampines and Jurong
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: people love to fight against each other. Oh yeah, because
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it's east side, west side.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So that's all I'm going to say. I can't You can't,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you've not lived in either one of those locations. So yeah. Anyway,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: so this Australian creator on TikTok, I don't follow him,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: but he goes by the name of Connor, I believe.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know him. I don't think
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you do. Yeah, I've never mentioned before. I would say he,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he visited Singapore. I'm, I'm not sure what kind of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: following he has, but he drew mixed reactions after he
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: posted a video.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Sitting Yishun, OK. So as you know, the impression of
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Singapore from our friends from overseas is always Gardens by
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the Bay, Marina Bay Sands. Crazy Rich Asians. Yes, no, you,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head with that because
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: ever since Crazy Rich Asians aired in the cinemas, I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: think the whole world had an impression that the whole
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of Singapore looks like that. OK. Please make sure you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: tell your friends that there are other places.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, realistically, that's not how most Singaporeans live, OK. It's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: just like how you watch, I don't know, Selling Sunset
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and you see the kind of homes they sell in LA.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: But do the majority of people who live in California
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: live like that? Probably not, you know, 80% don't have
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: homes like that. Los Angeles and San Francisco. Exactly, exactly.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And he drew mixed reactions because he's saying that.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, um, Yishun is not really Crazy Rich
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Asians type. It's a bit filthy, to be honest, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: most people, um, commented and said, yo, this is how
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Singapore actually is, like most of us live in HDB
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: flats or apartments, and he cited certain examples like, oh,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: how clothes were hanging off the ledge on the air-con vent,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and like, oh, it looks very dirty, um, but I mean,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the real life, you know, corner the Australian
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: content creator. This is where I say welcome to Singapore,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: not just Singapore, the Singaporean heartlands. Yes, the heartland, exactly
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: what most Singaporeans are saying. They're like, you know, if
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you want to go see the nice touristy parts of Singapore,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you're in the wrong place, but welcome to the heartlands.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: This is how we live. I mean, to call Yishun filthy,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I think that's a stretch. Yeah, there's some things that
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: need need improving on, but I don't think the word
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: filthy and Singapore go hand in.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Hm, and I, I, I acknowledge that it doesn't look
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: as polished as what you might think Singapore is, especially
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: in your CBD downtown area, but um it's, it's, it's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: real life. It's still clean, I would say, right? Most
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: HDB estates, they still have like a level of cleanliness. Yeah,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: they uphold that. A big thank you to our workers
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: from the town council making sure that our areas are clean. So, well,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the debate continues. Please weigh in, go check it out.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: It's only gonna drive his interactions up even more. about
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to head to the.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Phone lines. This is pretty much one of our favorite
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: things to do every morning. Yeah, I think I lost
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: count on the amount of schools we received over the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: last 2 or 3 months. I know, right? But I'm
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: happy to say that every day, or at least every week,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: we have 5 different schools calling us. Yes, except I
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: think one of the weeks we did have like a
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: repeat call, a repeat school. Yeah, yeah, but it was
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: only 1 time. We have had a couple of teachers
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: call us as well. So teachers, you're welcome to give
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: your students a shout out if you want to as well. Exactly.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna head to phone lines right now. Good morning.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Good morning 97. It's Wei Ling. Hello
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Wai Ling. You sound exactly like how I sounded at
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: 6 a.m. in the morning last time. You sound exhausted.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Which school are you heading to?
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, Rosy. Rosy,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: yeah, primary or secondary?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Primary.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Alright, how's it like over at Rosy Primary for you,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Wai Ln? It's
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Anything that you like about your school?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: The canteen.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Everyone loves the canteen. I'm jealous. Do you have a CCA? Uh,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: yes, Brown.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: So then who would you like to dedicate a song
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to and what song would that be?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Annie Seraphin song and it's going up to my friends.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your call. Have a good day,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: OK? All right.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Gonna be finance analysis. Joakim Gomez here on 987 for
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a while. Finance and Joakim here with you. OK, so
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure whether to categorize this as Bodo crime
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: just yet because it's, it's, from what I understand, it's
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: not become a police case yet. OK.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Some chances are being given right now. So should we
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: classify this as almost border crime? OK, I think the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: rule for the person must be arrested. OK, so, OK, fine.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So this is not crime. If not, we are in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: trouble because it's crime bracket allegedly. Oh yes, allegedly. Don't
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: spoil the segment. Almost. No. It doesn't work that way.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we haven't had a silly situation like this in
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: a while to laugh at. Taking you to Woodlands right now, OK?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I know, unfortunately, this morning we went to Yishun, now
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: we're going to Woodlands. It's the holy trinity Yishun, Sembawang Woodlands.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So we get one more, we complete the triangle. Yes. So, um,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: over at this shop in Woodlands, OK, there were some
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: plants and there's an aloe vera plant as well. You've
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: seen aloe vera plants before?
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: You know how it looks. Yeah. So, basically it's like succulents,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it's categorized as succulents and it almost looks like a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cactus of some sort, um, but people use aloe vera
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: for a variety of things, good for your skin, I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: guess you can use it for desserts, your cooking. I'm
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: gonna stupid, OK. Can I just check for aloe vera,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you know the leaf or the plant, right? It's a succulent.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So if you squeeze it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Something might come out. You've never eaten aloe vera before.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I've used aloe vera on my skin. I've never eaten
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the gel. OK, OK, OK. Wait, you've never eaten fresh
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: aloe vera in a dessert before. I find it hard
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to believe. I don't think so. Maybe I have fruit jellies,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: they always put aloe, OK, I think you have. OK.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I'm just asking the stupid questions. Yes, you are. I'm
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the one doing it, so you don't have to.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: How would I say? Um, the flesh of the aloe
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: vera looks a bit like a jelly. OK, OK. Yeah,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that's all, yeah, that's all I'm gonna say. OK. So
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: this lady.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Decided she needed some aloe vera.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: So she walks past this shop over in the Woodlands area.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: And she cuts the aloe vera plant and takes it home.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Why am I not surprised? I, I, I don't think
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: this is the first case of someone stealing aloe vera. Yeah,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: she sliced up the plant, took it with her, OK,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and not realizing there's a CCTV right above her. Oh,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: she was caught in 4K. She was caught.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: However, I think um her face may not have been
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: fully visible. I think only like a part of her
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: face was visible. They found it hard to identify her,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: they didn't recognize her. So, um now the shop owners
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: are appealing to social media to say, do you know
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: this person? Can you identify this person?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And they're giving this woman a chance to apologize before
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: they make a police report. That's why I say cannot
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: categorize as border crime yet because we don't know what
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: happened between then and now. Did she go back to apologize?
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: It's been posted on social media and they posted the exact.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Shop location, so she cannot run away. She knows that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: she's gotten caught already. I mean, even though we can't
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: see the lady's face clearly. What can be done is
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the store owner submits the CCTV footage and then the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: police use that.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Identify her clothing and look at other CCTVs and establish
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: her identity. I think they're just being kind, you know, they're,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: they're probably thinking, OK, we'll accept an apology or maybe
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: if she gives us a new plant or something. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: don't know how she wants to apologize. I think that's
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the right thing to do. So it's, it's, it's a gesture.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: of kindness. I'm very invested in this story. Me too.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm pretty sure there are plenty
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: of aloe vera theft cases around here in Singapore. Just
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that this one from Woodlands made the news. That's right, yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: So sorry about that guys. People who live in Woodlands.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, always, always. OK, here we go
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: with the RTS link. Some updates coming your way, and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: this is very interesting.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I think somebody filed a question in parliament about if,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: touch wood again, the ITS link were to break down,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: who handles it? I mean, it's a it's a very
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: valid question.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: And I was wondering if it depends on where on
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the track it breaks down, location wise. Very close to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the actual answer. So according to, if I'm not wrong,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Minister Edwin Tong, here's the answer, OK? For example, the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: train is going towards Singapore, OK, but it hasn't crossed
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Pier 48 yet.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: It's Malaysia's responsibility. Malaysia's Tai Chi. OK, OK. But for example,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: if the train is going towards Malaysia and it has
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: not crossed Pier 47, Singapore's Tai Chi. OK, I have
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a question. Keeping in mind that Pier Pier 47 is
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: is that that's considered like the midpoint or something.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: OK, something like that, loosely speaking. What if part of
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the train crosses over, but then it's stalled there? OK,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: it's the nose is pointing. So if the nose is
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: pointing towards Singapore by 2 centimeters, but I'm pointing towards Malaysia,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: that means Malaysia. Who it, if the nose is Malaysia,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Malaysia has to fix it.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Wait, if the nose of the train is pointing towards
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Malaysia and it crosses, but if I didn't, then it's OK.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Wow, this is down to a technicality, man. You have
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to put la laser measuring systems to have a measuring
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: tape somewhere on standby. Yeah, then I think someone else asked, oh,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: will Singapore and Malaysia have a joint exercise on how
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to fix it? Yeah, I think yes, the answer is yes,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, yeah, because you can't fix it a Singaporean
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: way and you can't.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Fix it in Malaysian way. It has to be like
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a set agreed because it's the one. Yeah, exactly. Well,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I honestly, it's it's a very valid question.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: It didn't cross my mind, but yeah, we're great for
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: raising it up and they're trying to find ways to
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: make sure that I think you don't have to immigration
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: twice or three times like the moment you get off.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: The training can just walk out of Johor Bahru already
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: or maybe just digital, like, you know, the facial scanning
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: sort of thing we'll see what happens, I'm kind of enjoying.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It is important and honestly I'm looking forward to it
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: because for someone who doesn't really go to Malaysia that
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: often but I've experienced it before, it's actually really fun.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: So this will make it so much easier for people
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: who are not comfortable with driving or you don't have
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a car. I don't mind giving it a shot because
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I've done a drive to Malaysia and back a couple
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of times before and um in terms of like range anxiety,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I won't have it because I mean this is not
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a sponsored, I'm not.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Doing this on purpose, but, um, safe to say on
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a full charge is safe to to you you you'll
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: be able to survive the drive and it's gonna be
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: lasting you for quite a long time. But I think
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I may look for safer places to park.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I, I may look for a safer, especially because
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not a very experienced driver and traveler to Malaysia. Yeah. No,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: it's just because I'm not. Whatever you read in the
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: news as well, so if you're driving up there whatever,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: just make sure your car is in a safe spot.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Be safe. And if you're just getting out of bed
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: right now or you're out and you're about to make
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: yourself some breakfast, please help Joakim and I settle this
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: debate now. Citizens of 987, very important. Yes, very important.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Am I the weird one here? Stop it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Can I, can I state my case first, then you
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: hear me out, OK? The answer is yes, but go ahead.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: When it comes to anything in the kitchen, I have
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: very bad garration skills, OK, and this stems from childhood
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: trauma where I used to help my mom make those
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Nescafe 3 in 1 powdered drinks, right? I used to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: make that also, yeah, yeah, I would often pour too
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: much water.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, and it will dilute it will dilute, yeah, so
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: my mom gets very angry. So I learned my lesson
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and maybe since I was 7 or 8, OK, I
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: started to put the water in first, then I put
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: in the powder because on the powder packet, it says, oh,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: just add 150 mL of water. Yeah, I have, I
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: have the measuring cup. You measure to avoid mistakes, OK?
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: This is very non-Asian of you, you know, all Asian.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: just anyhow. Can you wait? OK. So I'll pour the
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: water in, then I'll put the powder in, mix, and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: it tastes the same. fantastic. OK. Recently I just did
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a campaign, OK, I can't say for which, uh, brand, but, uh,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the feedback from the clients came back saying Jokim's preparation
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: of our drinks.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Seems off. Can you put the powder in first, then
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the water? That's because that's the normal way of doing it. OK,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: can I explain why I would put the powder first,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: then the water? OK. So whatever it is, right, um, I,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I don't measure or use a beaker or anything that's just,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that's interesting because yours are good. Yes, it's better than yours.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: But my theory is, no matter how good or bad
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: your inauguration skills are, if you put the powder first
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and you put the water, you can still adjust later
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: on based on your preference. Let's say today I wanted
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: a bit more cow, OK, I put less water. Doesn't
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: need to be 150 exactly or whatever, just based on my, my, uh, preference.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: If maybe today I wake up.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Too strong the flavor. I want it a bit diluted.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Then I can add more water. But if you already
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: put the water in and then you put the powder,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: how are you gonna like estimate? What if you didn't
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: want so much water, then you're, you're screwed already. I'm
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: just following the instructions. I don't need cow or sai
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: or whatsoever, OK? I just want it to taste exactly
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: how it's supposed to taste.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: That's why I put the water in first. And for example,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: if I want two packets, how am I supposed to
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: rate what 300 mL of water looks like? So I
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: put the water in first to know that I have
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the correct management, the measurements. Let me ask you, when
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you go to the toilet.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Do you, do you wipe your butt first before you
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: take a dump, or do you take a dump first
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and you wipe your butt? doesn't look.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: OK, and, and by the way, in case anyone's wondering,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I'm the pour the cereal and then pour the milk
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: first kind of guy. But when it comes to drinks,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I put the water first, to be safe.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: This makes no sense to me. I was, by the way, OK.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Because if I answer otherwise, I can just quit my job.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: The whole of Singapore knows I'm a disgusting person. No,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: that's what I mean you can't lock it in. You
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: can't be so sure.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Like unless you're the kind of person that just enjoys
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the same, enjoys the drink in the same way every day.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I'm a creature of habit. Yeah, but it just looks bad, like,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and you know what, on top of that, it's messier.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: It's messier because when you pour the powder into the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: water after you pour the water and you stir it,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the powder is gonna get stuck on the cup and stuff.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: No pour it carefully in the middle and you stir
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: it or you shake it. It's just not, it's just
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: not what normal people do.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: OK, I, I stand by the fact that I stand, I,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I'm weird to some extent in certain other things, but
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I will, I will put the powder in first and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: then the water just because it's neater and it makes
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: more sense and you can adjust it. 669-11987. I cannot
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: believe we're doing this as a topic. 900509997 to WhatsApp us. Yeah, which,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: which method do you follow? Yeah, do you put the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: powder in first and then the water or the water
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: in first?
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: First, then the powdered drink. Or do you have a
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: special method? Yeah, let us know. Let us know. Tell
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: us what your quirks are and your habits. We would
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: love to end this debate. In exchange, we have a
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: lovely treat. I think we've opened up a can of
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: worms with our debates. We need to end it right now.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: That's why we need your help, OK. So, Joakim is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: arguing that when you create or when you make drinks,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: especially your 3 in 1 packet drinks, you, uh, pour
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the water in first, then you pour the powder in.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Right? That's what you do. But for me, I'm saying
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: that you should pour the powder in, then the water
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: in case you want to adjust it based on your preference. Yeah,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm the minority here. OK. OK. Let's head
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: to our messages to see what you're saying. Wanna say
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: hello to Mabel. Mabel says, morning, Joakim and Sonia. Sorry
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to Joakim, but you're the weird one lah.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: By your theory, you can still put the powder in first,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: then pour in your measured water. I'm side-eying haha because
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: we Asian, no measuring unless baking. Exactly. This is what
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I said. That's why I said how very non-Asian of
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you to not be able to aga. Sherman says Joakim
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: is just weird.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: You see how all the Kopitian people make and we
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: have the answer, but, but their aguration skills are so good. Well,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: if you've done made this particular drink every morning long enough,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: don't you think you already know? Again, I just fail
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to dilute it too much. Yeah, but you know, you
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: don't need a beaker every morning.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: That's not very cool. Thanks. I want to say good
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: morning to Paige. Morning, Sonia and Joakim. I'll put a
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: bit of hot water first, then I'll put in the
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: powder and stir to mix well. Then I'll slowly pour
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: in water and stir at the same time and adjust
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: according to my taste. Exactly, yeah. So, OK, she's kind
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: of like a middle ground between the two of us.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I feel so alone. No, it's OK. I'm sure that
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: there'll be more, you know, listeners texting and calling us. Actually,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: we have more in a while. OK, I think they're
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: sending it through right now. Yeah, I see people typing actually. OK. Um,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Gary is on the line. What do you think?
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: OK, before I got my baby, I will be like, Sonia,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: after I got my baby, uh, I will be like
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: joking because, uh, I need to measure the water first
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: for me to put a powder for my milk. I'm
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: ready to be a dad. No, you're ready to be
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: a baby.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: We are in the thick of an argument right now
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: where we're seeking your help to really just resolve this. Sonia.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy to say that I have defenders. Oh, finally,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not alone. Alright, let's go. So if you just
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: joined us, the topic is, uh, OK, when you make
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to powdered drinks, powdered drinks, I, I pour the water first,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: then I put the powder in. Blasphemy. Stop it.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: But I will put the powder in first, then the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: water so that I can adjust to my liking. It
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: sounds like the childish argument that we've ever had on 987,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: but we're still doing it. Hey, yeah, I want to
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: say good morning to MM. Good morning, Joakim and Sonia.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I used to make my drinks like Sonia, but I
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: switched over after I got tired of seeing clumps of
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: unmixed powder. Then just add more water. My friends also
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: think I'm weird for putting water first. Hope you guys
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: have a great day ahead.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: OK, OK, you got one person on your side. Ridwan says, morning,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Joakim. First time, of course, I'll measure it,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: then I use agarration from then onwards. But it took
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: me after 30 years to realize the lesser the water,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the better the taste. But when it comes down to
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: this topic being weird, it's the fact that Sonia compared
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: this to the washing of her butt. Hey, wait, no,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: hold on, hold on. I was.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Trying to come up with a, you know, something to
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: compare to. OK. One coming in from Nick's. Morning, Sonia
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: and Joakim. I too pour the water in first because
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I don't like it when the residue of the powder
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: gets stuck at the bottom of the cup. Usually I
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: pour half the amount of hot water, put in the powder, stir,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and then I add more water as needed. Joe, you're
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: not alone. Can I just check all the people that
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: said that, are they men?
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Right, they are guys, right? Nick and Ridan, yes. I'm
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: not too sure about MM. Hey, why now it's a
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: gender thing, is it? Huh? Maybe women are just better
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: at compared to men. OK, I, I, I have a
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: dude saying this. I want to say hello to Carl. Hi,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Joakim. I'm with Sonia on this.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: But anyway, my guration is no good. It usually be
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: too diluted, so I usually put, I put two packets
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: so I can adjust later according to my liking. Anyway,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: by you doing this, it reminded me of a story
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: being told when we were young. Crows are smart enough
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: to put in rocks in bottled water to drink when
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the water level is too low.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: You just compared Joakim to a to a crow. Yeah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: by the way, our first female. Oh, OK, so I
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: guess my my theory is busted. Yeah, my theory is busted.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: We'll keep the debate going. 669-11987 or drop us a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: message 90050987. And let's see what we have in terms
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: of results at the end. And we're having a cheeky
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: debate here today that really got us cracked up this morning.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Um, talking about your habits when you're making powdered drinks,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: for example, OK, it could be anything, could be a
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: 3 month coffee, Milo, oval tinea, whatever, um, and Joakim
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: has an interesting habit of putting the water in first
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: and then putting the powder, but I insisted that you
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: should put the powder in first, then the water. Now,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: before you think that we're being really random here on 987, um,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: this was inspired by me actually doing a campaign with
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: a powdered drink, and the feedback from the clients came
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: in the email saying Joakim's pepper.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: The duration of our drink looks a bit off. Can
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: you please reshoot that? Put the powder in first, then
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the water, yeah, which is what I guess most of
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: us would do in case you want to adjust the
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: flavor to which to not feel so attacked or, you know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: whatsoever or offended or anything. I actually asked our manager,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: he Jenzel, like, Jen, do you put the water or
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: powder in first? Powder first.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: This is a no-brainer. Again, my adoration skills are bad.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Want to say hello to CK. Morning, Sonia and Joakim.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Where got people put the water first one.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You need to splash the water onto the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: powder to mix it well, right? And by the way,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: if you use the same cup every day, by now
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: you should know the ration level of the water already.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: That's what I said. If Joe has been doing this
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: every day for like his whole life, you should know
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: by now. You don't need a measuring cup. OK, one
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: coming in from Pat. Hi, morning guys. Usually for those
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: mixing cement.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: We will put the water in, then put in the
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: powder into them as this makes the mixing better. So
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: for hot beverage, I would do the same as I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: won't get the piles at the bottom of the cup. OK, OK,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: that is a valid one, but yours is because you
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: cannot measure that's why.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Go and try and pick someone else's reason. Does the
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: reason matter? Anyway, right, in a funny twist of events
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: because we mentioned that we're having Rishi on our show
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: later on. You know, Singapore is one of Singapore's funniest dudes,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and we've had the pleasure of working with him before.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: He somehow is on the line right now. Rishi, why
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: are you calling us? I know, but I just wanted
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: to say that I'm on the highway and I'm a
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: few minutes. So if I just give you a bit
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: before I get into the studio. OK, in that case, Rishi,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: can you help us with this debate we are having
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: right now? OK. Why not ask him in person? No, no, no,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: too late, too late. It needs to be within this hour. OK,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: go ahead. Tell him your situation. Rishi, so.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: When it comes to powdered drinks, do you put the
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: water in first or the powder in first? Always put
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the water in. Why? You know why? Why? So that
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: at least you can see the powder kind of diffusing
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: into the water and it's just visually appealing for me.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: That was not the answer I was expecting. I'm pretty
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: sure it's dissolving. I don't feel so alone now. Thank
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: you so much. OK.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Gonna squeeze in a few more messages to try in
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: an attempt to end this debate on who is a
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: little bit weirder than the other in terms of making
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: your powdered drinks. I feel like I need to clear
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: my name here, OK. When it comes to powdered drinks, yes,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I'll put the water in first. When it comes to cereal,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I put the cereal in the milk. Nobody's asking about. No,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: just in case because Shell just texted us. OK, Morning, Sojo.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I wonder if Joakim is the kind who puts the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: milk in before cereal.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: OK, I, I do know some people who do that,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: but their reasoning is because they don't want the cereal
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: to get soggy. So then they put a bit of
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: cereal at a time so that it's crispy. Yeah, instead
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: of like dousing your entire bowl of cereal in milk
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and then everything becomes soggy after a few bites. when
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: it comes to the bowl of cereal, it's a lot easier.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Compared to the cup and the powdered drink, I guess,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I guess, I guess I have one text coming in
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: from Linda. Good day, Sonia and Joakim. As I use
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the microwave to boil my water to make coffee, I
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: will put 1/2 cup of water in the microwave to
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: boil and add coffee powder to it. After that, I
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: will add coffee powder in the cup first if I
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: use a kettle to boil water previously, but since
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Since moving to my own home, I thought of using
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the microwave instead until I find a pressing need to
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: buy a kettle because space is a real challenge. True,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I'll give you an alternative. If you are considering getting
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: like a water dispenser, there's a lot in the market
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: right now, a lot of local brands also that are
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: quite affordable. They have different temperature of water and different
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: um measurements as well.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: So you can put 100, you can put 250, you know,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: things like that. Your sentiments echoes this usernames Morning, Sonia
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: and Joakim. A water dispenser fixes everything. Powder first or
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: water first also can, and most importantly, you don't even
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: need to measure the water volume. Perhaps Joakim can be
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: an ambassador for water dispensers next. Hey Sarah, I'm here.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Hello Sarah or Prism plus or anything. I'm here. Hello
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Prism plus, yes, OK. I mean, look, if you don't
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: have one just yet, just like your digital lock, please
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Opening up another can of worms because I've been nagging
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: at Joe to get his digital lock done and his
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: water dispenser. Guess who else has joined in the nagging
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: for a lock? Your mom. Yes, I, I already know this.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: So the two women in your life. I'm doing it soon.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I promise. When in 2 years. When I'm, when I'm
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: finally on leave, dude, I have the time to.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Sit down and settle the houses. This is like this.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I've been in this scenario before. I remember like many
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: times where I nagged at you to do something and
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I was right, but you took like 2 years to
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: do it. OK, never mind. Mother's Day present on Sunday.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I ordered a lot. OK. You, you will. I promise.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna text your mom and check. Then we can
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: check on Monday. I checked with your mom. Oh yeah,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: you have my mom's number. I forgot.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: You can't escape. Grace is on the line. Grace, what
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: about you when it comes to powdered drinks? So,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: um, before I got married, I always made Milo my way,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: which is the powder first, then water. But after moving
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: in with my in-laws, I quickly learned that there's apparently
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: a correct way which is
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Water first, then Milo powder, then more water so that
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: um I guess the rationale is the, the powder will
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: dissolve properly. And I also learned another trick which is
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: to use a fork instead of a spoon for more
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: even mixing. So I guess now, so I guess now
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: for the peas at home and less nagging.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: So basically
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: she, she's adopting multiple methods into one. I remember my
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: mom caught me stirring my mother with a fork before
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and she scolded me. Why you so like that use
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: a teaspoon. I said, No, mom, the powder will dissolve
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: better and it works. See, I didn't know that. I don't.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I just use a normal teaspoon. Very soon you'll see
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: me stirring Milo with a whisk. That's just, I would not, honestly,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I would not be surprised. Like, I don't think Joakim
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: knows what to do with the utensils in his kitchen.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not that weird. You are very weird. So here,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: here's a question.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Um, have you thought about what you would want to
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: do with like your Skills Future credits, for example? Have
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you taken any courses, I remember you telling me when,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: before COVID actually. So my, my mom and I went
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: for like some bread making one together, which was quite
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: cool because we learned how to make casia with, with
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the SkillsFuture credits. Um, so with the imminent merger of
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Skills Future Singapore and Workforce Singapore.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Some interesting questions have been brought up, OK.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: And uh I myself know that there's a wine appreciation
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: and almost like an accreditation sort of course that you
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: can take to learn more about wine because it's known
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: as WSET, right, to get a qualification to maybe if
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: you want to be a sommelier in the future. Of
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: all things to bring up in parliaments it had to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: be wine tasting. So I guess the, the overarching question is,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: is wine appreciation considered appropriate for your skills future?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Actually, you know what, I actually think that it is
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: because you can open up opportunities for work with an
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: accreditation and also on a social standing, it scores points.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: It could if you are in the right crowd and
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: if the people are impressed with your knowledge of wine.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: For example, if I'm going out with a girl who
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: loves wine, then that could come in useful, yeah. Yeah,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: that wine tasting skill that I acquired, we can order
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the correct wine and it might score me points as well.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: And not just that.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: That you might find like hey we have a very
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: a shared interest or maybe I have a client's dinner
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: with a very important CEO and I want to make
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: sure I open the correct bottle of wine. I think
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: it's will come in handy as well. It is a
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: very good social skill to have and if you really
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: love it so much, some people actually pursue it as
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: a career. Exactly, yeah. And who knows they could credit
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Skills Future for starting them out. But I think the
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: concern is that there's a handful of Singaporeans who are
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: joining it just for the
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Free wine and snacks, OK.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I think that's the, that's the worry that people are
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: just joining it to enjoy the wine and the snacks. OK,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: so now I have an implement an exam. If they
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: pass the exam, you can use Skills Future. Actually, there's
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: an easy way of judging what they're there for. OK.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: So from what I understand, I mean people who are
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: really into the wine tasting and all that, and if
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: they really want to get uh WSCT qualified.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: They may not actually drink or swallow the wine. They
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: might be spitting it. Yeah, you have to. There's a spittoon. Yeah,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: but it's your choice whether you want to spit it
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: or not. So if they are not and they're just
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: chugging the wine, then you know this person is here
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: to drink.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: It's like the pre-game to the dinner or the after
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: party or something. Then they say, yeah, very good, very good,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: very good, very notes of cherry, notes of strawberry, yeah,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: a bit of a spicy aftertaste like red wine.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Pretty back to back show here today with a special
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: guest joining us in a few minutes. When we come back,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, Rishi Budhrani. Get ready to laugh.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Or maybe hear his life story about why he's staging.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Can I make you a suit for the 3rd time. Yeah,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: you know, I think the great thing when we actually comedians,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: for example, is you always wonder, are they always like
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: this 24/7? No. And usually the answer is no. They have,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: they have really deep stories to share. I think the
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: worst thing you can say to a comedian when you
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: see him or her on the streets, hey, tell me
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: a joke. Yeah, no, no, no, don't don't say that.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not just about the jokes that make them funny,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: you know, it's, it's, you're born with it. You're born
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: with the aura, the wit, the wit and the humor.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: So Rishi joins us in just a couple of minutes.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: You might remember him from which year was it that
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: we did NDP together, all three of us? 2022. Ah, yes,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Khali might remember that one. We'll chat with him in
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: less than 10. And in case you're wondering, how come
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Justin Bieber wasn't there at the Met Gala, Hailey Bieber attended,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: but he was busy doing his own thing, and I
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: think he has been cutting down on his.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Carpet appearances. He just wants to work on his own stuff.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: To Justin Bieber, I'm very sure you didn't miss much. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Just stay home and sleep and enjoy your life, OK.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: And besides, he's been very supportive, apparently according to Hayley
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: of her business trips, her business appearances, and he's always
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: there in the background supporting her. Just enjoy your $10
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: million paycheck from Coachella. Well done. I mean, he's definitely
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: enjoying that for sure, yeah. Anyway, as promised, here we
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: go with B, B, B.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: We're going back to Changi Airport. Changi Airport again. I'm
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: running out of words that start with C. The crusty
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: streets of Changi.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: rusty. Why, why do you make Changi Airport sound like
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: he has dried skin? But, but anyway, uh, again, whenever
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: we hear of crime happening at Changi Airport, especially shop theft, yeah,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: we just pump because why do you even try? Yeah,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the CCTVs there are next level people, OK, don't, don't bother.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a defense base. But the funny thing
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: is we've seen.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: An increase in people trying to steal from Changi Airport. Yeah,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: so apparently a French man and two Indian national women,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: they've been arrested for shop theft cases at Changi Airport
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: amounting to 3.5K. I'm looking at some of the things
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: they've stolen. They've stolen gold bracelets, TWGT. How did they,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: how did they steal the bracelets? There you go, and
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Something that's quite in demand now, the Oakley Vanguard glasses,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: the Meta glasses. Oh my God, I thought they stole
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: some pop thing. There you go. It's all stolen, 3.5k
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: in total. And they're now facing a legal action and
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: they're in trouble. Seriously, not worth it, guys. So please don't.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: You want to try, please don't try in Singapore lah.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I think you, you get barred from flying out. You'll
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: be stuck here forever. Yeah, again, Changi Airport is the
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: worst place to commit a crime. Yeah, not that we're
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: encouraging any forms of crime.
