  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Up next to you.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way, it's Sonia
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Oh,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: we just want to say
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: welcome back to school.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Plenty of sleepy faces in the morning today, Sonia. I know,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: but at least they had a bonus day off, right?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: So it's a short week. We're here with you every
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: step of the way with great prizes as well. Stay tuned.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: It's BTS to kick off your school week. New track there,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Swim right here on 987, Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: They were on fire with their comeback joki I'm, I'm
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: sure they're about to announce even more dates very soon.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: In fact, when is BTS going to be in Singapore? Uh,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: great question. December 17th, 19th, 20th, and 22nd. I know
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: there were a lot of, uh, of you listeners that
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: were actually DMing.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Asking, hey, when can we buy the tickets and all that?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I think the ticket details are not out just yet,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: but they only announced that they're going to be here.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: So given how they're in Singapore for about 6 days
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and performing for 4 nights, you would think they might
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: be doing something at STB. Another music video maybe. Oh,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: as in you don't know yet lah. I thought you
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: got some information. No, no, it's not confirmed yet, but
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I'm just guessing, given how they're here for almost 6 days.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure 1 day.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Film a video somewhere here in Singapore. I mean, look,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: STB has been locking in and doing some really good
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: work over the past couple of years with our artists. OK,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: so STB, look, we've done Gardens by the Bay. We've
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: done the Singapore River. Bring BTS to Gimor or like a, yeah, like,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you know, a heartland place, right? Yeah, or Clementi or
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Yishun even. I would love to see that represented, the
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: real side of Singapore, right? Jurong one time.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: That's right. I can recommend a few locations. Go for it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to your first official day back at school.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Very eventful past few days. Um, there's been an update
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: about the fireworks in Gimbo, Joakim. Oh no. Yeah, I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: remember we were just talking about it yesterday. Yes, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it lasted for about like 5 minutes, which is quite long,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: like quite substantial. But those 5 minutes will become a
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: very expensive.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: 5 minutes is the biggest lesson 5 minutes can ever
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: teach you. Well, here's the thing, um, people have been found.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Two men aged 25 and 33, along with a 16-year-old teenager,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: they were arrested just, um, I believe yesterday, between yesterday
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and the day before, but very investigations are very early
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: right now, but it does show that they set off
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: multiple fireworks in the area.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Um, alarmed residents were all over the place because I
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: think they were like, what's that, what's that exploding sound,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you know, they were really shocked. If found guilty, and I,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I was always very curious about this, like, what's the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: punishment for setting off fireworks? I never knew.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: If they're found guilty of the unauthorized use of explosives,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: which is what this has been categorized under, they could
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: be jailed to up to 36 months and fined up
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to $50,000. Guys, this is an expensive lesson. All that
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: for 5.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, but I, I just really want to
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: know what was going through their minds. They wanted to
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: have some fun over the weekend. Yeah, but you have fun.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: So you said 33, 25, and 16, is it? Yeah,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I wonder whether are they friends or cousins, but the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: 33 year old, you should have known better even at 25.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Comes to feel young again, you know what I mean.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Does that make you feel young again? Again, if you
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: really want to do fireworks, please go to Johor. Yeah,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: go somewhere else where it's legal, I guess, you know,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: if not, just enjoy the ones that have been provided
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to us, which was quite recently the fireworks two weekends ago, right? Yeah. Well,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: stay tuned. It's 987. It's Ellen Walker with Emerson Flora
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Monster right here on 987. This is such a classic
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Ellen Walker song.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: And the good news is you could be listening to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: him in the flesh very, very soon. Alan Walker back
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: in Singapore April 10th to celebrate Marquee's anniversary. So yeah,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: they always go big, you know, historically, if you go
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and see Mary's like Instagram page or whatever, they announce
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: their lineups there, right? They've always
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: regarded themselves as the club to bring in all the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: big DJs here to Singapore. Throwback to 2019. I wonder
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: who was the first MC on Mary's mic. Oh yeah,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it was me. It is our darling Sonny Chow. So,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: hold on, but not hype man, OK? No, no, no,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you were welcoming the guest, you were officially opening inviting.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: CEOs and all that. Who was it was that was
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the starring DJ that was Tiesto? Yeah, um, I think
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: it was it ASAP. Did ASAP come here for the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: opening was it Armand Van Buren? No, right, dude, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: can't remember, man. It was quite a while ago. 2019 opening. I,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I know it was a big name for sure.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Was it ASAP Rocky, no, no, no, sorry, not ASAP Rocky.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Ties and Afrojack Afrojack, right, right, right. No, but who
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: was the rapper that came? ASAP Rocky. Oh, I was right. OK,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: ASAP appearance. There you go. That was, that was so
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: cool though, honestly, like, and you know what the funny
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: thing was, um, you know my friend, we have a
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: mutual Hannan, one of my close friends from back then, right?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So she's a massive ASAP Rocky fan, OK.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Um, during the opening weekend, I invited some friends to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: come and have, have some fun, and you were there
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: on the first night. You weren't there on ASAP Rocky night,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I remember. So then she came and she said, Oh
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: my God, oh my God, I'm so excited, ASAP Rocky.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Guess what happens?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Just before he came on, because we weren't sure what
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: time he was gonna come on, OK? You know, guest
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: appearance sometimes they'll come on at like past midnight or
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: one or something. She said, I need to go to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the toilet first. She went, but because the queue was
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: so long, I think there were a lot of people,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: she went, um, as she was in the bathroom, ASAP
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Rocky comes on.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Anyway, shout out to Harper's Bazaar for actually covering the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: 2019 opening. I'm gonna flip my laptop screen around. Look
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: at Sonia Chew in 1919. Look at my hair. My
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: hair was so much shorter back then. There was a picture,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: but hey, killer outfit though. Hey, thanks, thanks, thanks. That
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: was a fun night. But anyway, um, coming up in
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: just a few minutes.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: If you have a shout out, if you need a
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: song to really brighten up your day since it's officially
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the first day back after the March holidays, we would
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: love to open up phone lines, your chance to call
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: through and have your voice heard on air that's coming
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: up next, inching closer to 7 a.m. which means you're
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: likely almost at school already for most of you.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I, I understand that for quite a number
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: of schools, especially maybe certain international schools or other schools
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: don't start that early. I heard some, some of them
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: start like 8 or maybe even like eight-ish, yeah. But
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: for Singaporean students in Singaporeans, most likely you'll be on
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: your way to school now and more or less gearing
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: up towards the mid-year examinations if you have it. So
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: we want to perk you up. It's been one week
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and additional and an additional day that you've been away
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: from school.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Might have been extra difficult to wake up this morning.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I know the one thing that you definitely did during
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: your school holidays, you slept later. For sure. Yeah, 100%.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: That's what we all did. So how about being the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: very first person post March holidays to call through over
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: at 669-11987. Give your school a shout out and maybe
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: let us know what did you do during the March holidays. Yeah,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and tell us as well, like what song you want
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to hear, who is it going out to, all that
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and more the moment you get through the phone lines. 669-11.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: 987 is the number to call. Phone lines are open,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: welcoming you back to your official first day at school.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Loads of sleepy faces here in Singapore, but we know
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: it's very tough, especially for the kind of person where
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: during the school holidays you will sleep extra late. But
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going to make a very small prediction here, Sonia.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: For the June holidays, a lot of maybe say the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: football fans, especially the boys, might sleep extra late or
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: wake up extra early to catch the football games.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Potentially could be happening at 3 a.m., 5:00 a.m., and
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: 7:00 a.m. Oh my gosh, because it's staged in the US, Canada,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and Mexico where we have like a 12 or 13
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: hour time difference. So will you be staying up for,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: or did you, I'll be at. So I'll live stream
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the football on whatever channel I subscribe to Media Corp,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: by the way, but you have to start playing it
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: before you even get to the office, based on the timing.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: So anyway, we want to hit to the phone lines
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: right now. We always love hearing you on air, um,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: getting your voice heard, dedicating a song to.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe just yourself or your friends around you. Let's head
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: to the phone lines. Hello. It is. What's your name? Hi,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Tu Ying. Good morning. Which school are you from? Ang
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Mo Kio Secondary School. Yeah, we haven't gotten to school
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: just yet, Joe. Quite near Bishan Park, I believe. So
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Tu Ying, how was your March holidays? What did you do?
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I went to Thailand. Wow, it's a beach holiday and
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: beach getaway. Did you love it? Did you have fun? Yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And can I ask only because I went there for
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: DBS travel show. Long weekends, you mean? Did you go
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: up to the highest point of Koh Samui? Yes, yes,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: with the Buddha statue and all that. So, so the
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: moment you go back to school today, did you wake
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: up with any like Monday or Tuesday blues? No. Oh, great.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: That means you're ready to go for a new term. OK,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: maybe one week is a bit too hard to adjust
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: your body clock like that. I guess if it's a month,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: then it's a different story. Anyway, um, what can we
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: get you today? Any particular song and who is it
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: going out to?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, OK, can I have any song by Megan Train now?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: You got it. That's coming right up for you and
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you have a great day at school, OK? Take care.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Bye bye.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: next to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Good morning.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the show in case you just joined us.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Coming up, $5000 up for grabs just for you. And also,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: is it too early for Bodorime? No, it isn't. OK.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: It's never early for Brime. Never too early, right? All
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the details and more coming up next this hour. Stay tuned.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: With a very early edition of Border Crime. So where
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: are we going today? We're going to Changi Airport, unfortunately.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Not again. I know. Why do people keep trying this?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Marina Bay Sands, Resorts World Sentosa, and Changi Airport. These
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: three places I'm very sure here in Singapore, it has
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the most CCTV coverage everywhere. Oh yeah, that's for sure.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: But anyway, please sing or jingle. Bodo, Bo, Bodo crime.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: The chaotic streets of Changi Airport, not streets, sorry, not
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: exactly chaotic, not streets like yeah, what would we say,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: chaotic corridors, ridors corridors. Well, it's chaotic for this particular
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: person because I'm sure he was trying his best to
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: get away with it. Um, a man, not from Singapore,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: he's from Australia.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: He's 54, OK, could have been, I mean, he's probably
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: younger than our parents, but 54, Someone's uncle, someone's dad
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: still arrested for allegedly stealing two windbreakers they're quite branded,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: worth $842 over at Terminal one. Why would you attempt this, sir?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Because he got caught pretty much almost immediately.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Um, police were alerted to the case of shop theft of,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: of the two windbreakers that were worth almost $1000 right?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: And it was in broad daylight. It was like in
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the morning. So criminals might think, oh, it's Changi Airport.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Everyone's busy, you know, passengers are going up and down,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: maybe the police won't be checking me, but no, they
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: are always watching. Yeah, they are. So they immediately pulled
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: up CCTV footage which took them, I'm sure just a
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: few minutes to figure out.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And then officers from the airport police division immediately identified
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the guy who um was observed apparently leaving the outlet
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: with the unpaid items. They arrested him immediately before he
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: even departed Singapore. So, very quick, very swift, um, don't
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: try anything stupid in Changi Airport. That's the worst possible
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: place to commit a crime. And also I'm pretty sure
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: if the criminal did not take out the sensor.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: The whole thing might have beeped, right?
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: But it didn't, I mean, they didn't say that it beeped.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I mean they apprehended him, but perhaps he did try
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: to remove the tags and stuff, so in Singapore where
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: you are CCTV, make sure they are. At least the
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: staff were alert though, because not every clothing item will
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: have that. I know that tag that you're talking about.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe the more expensive items above a certain amount, then
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: they will tag it. I don't know. Maybe. Did they
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: say the windbreaker from?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: The brand is right out there like it's boss. Yeah,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: that one. Yeah, but two windbreakers valued at 800 plus.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know whether they put that, you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: sensor tag on, maybe just a price tag. But I
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: must say the boss doing very well in the golf market.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I'm sure people are buying their clothes and all that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: What a throwback, but still a great song. Little Mix
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: with Black Magic on 987, Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: On the topic of magic, Sonia, when we come back
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: here on the show, 10th of July 2026, another live
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: action movie to add into Disney's universe. And this one
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: stars Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Oh.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be another Moana, right? It is. Oh, it is,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: it is. Full details in just a bit. They just
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: released a trailer last night. Alright, all the details next.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: July 10th, 2026, another live action movie to mark under
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Disney's chapters when it comes to all these live action remakes.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: And this movie, it turns 10 as of this year.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Moana from 2016. Love it. It's gonna be a live
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: action remix starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson. And if you
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: thought Aureli Cavello, who voiced Moana 10 years ago, if
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: you thought that she would reprise her role, no, I
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: don't think so because she's no longer the age of Moana,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Yeah, I think, well, your
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: voice changes too, right? I guess. I think for her
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: it's OK, but, but the boy who did, um, Coco,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: his voice became deep.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, um, so Moana will be played by Catherine
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Laga Aya. Hopefully I'm saying her last name correctly. So
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: it's going to be another celebration of Polynesian culture. Love
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: it on our silver screens. Love it. Have you ever
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: tried Polynesian food by any chance? No. Yeah, so I,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I was curious about it because I went to a restaurant.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I can't remember which country it wasn't in Singapore, it
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: was overseas, but they did say, oh, it's kind of
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: like Polynesian food, and to which I was like, what
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: actually is
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Polynesian food, I guess people might think the same thing
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: when they come to Singapore, like what Singaporean food, right? Um,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to answer your question, I'm not sure if the place
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I went to was totally legit, but Polynesian food also
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: includes things like your poke, like poke bowls, something similar
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to that, yeah, so that's what you can expect. So, uh,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the one thing that people are commenting about in the trailer,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: and I agree as well, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, you know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: he voices Maui, and he's now playing Maui in the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: real-life film, his wig.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: It's a bit questionable that one. It's not nice, is it?
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I think they spent all the money on CGI. Oh no,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: they forgot to buy a proper wig for Dwayne The
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Rock Johnson. No, the pro doesn't have a, a hair head,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: if you know what I mean.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: He just doesn't look good with hair. I mean he's bald,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: so that's why he doesn't have a hair.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: If that's even a thing, like, he looks better with
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: no hair. There's a small Easter egg of him saying
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: you're welcome, if you know what I mean. So go
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: watch the trailer and maybe mark this day down again,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: 10th of July 2026. That's where the live action of
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Moana gets released in cinemas. Now all I'm gonna see
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: is his wig, man. It's your fault. Please watch it.
• 15:49

  Speaker 2: rules here, exclusive to the shock circuit, Sonia. OK. When
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: you call us, you are not allowed to say two things.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: The clicking of a pen or the hole puncher. Oh yeah,
• 17:14

  Speaker 2: sound.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: 87 secret.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: That
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Hey, good morning. This is James. Hello James. Happy Tuesday.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: What are you up to today, man? Driving my wife
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: to work. We approve of that. The chauffeur.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Happy wife, happy life, right? That's what they all say. OK,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: so what would you guys do with the 5K if
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: you really win today? Travel end of the year to Japan.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Why not? But James, just for getting through our four lines,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: you're already qualified for the big grand draw. So congratulations. Fantastic.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Thank you. But let's one up them. Let's give you
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: $5000 on this Tuesday morning. OK, James, listen very carefully.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Here's the secret sound you have to identify.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: James, what is the 987's secret sound? Uh, stapler.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: You are incorrect. Your chance to play 987's secret sound continues.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: That sound.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Only because it was a repeated guest. I didn't need
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: to text boss Janice. The answer is no. I'm so sorry, James.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: So James, for context, Joakim and I don't actually know
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the answer, but we've gotten this answer before, stapler, um,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: and I think we tried to help our listeners in
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the morning. A hole puncher and clicking of a pen
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: were said so many times as well. OK, maybe tomorrow
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I'll ban staplers.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: In fact, I feel like the stationary side of things,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know whether it's even falling in that category anymore.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: But James, we'll see you at the big grand draw, OK? OK,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: thank you so much. Have a great day. Bye.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: One guess win.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: What's that? So just yesterday around this time, right, I, uh,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: talked about my sprained ankle, remember, and how my family
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: actually found out and I knew that I was gonna,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: gonna nag that, right? OK, but to be fair, just
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: for a moment they're like, how, why you never tell us?
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Why never this that? It was funny because I posted
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: an IGS, um, just yesterday about an update that I
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: got so much response from and all these people were
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: just sending in messages, you know, my followers and all
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: were just saying like,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: This is such an Asian parent thing to do because
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: what happened was after my parents found out, you know,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and nagged at me just a little bit on text,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: they actually left a bunch of um
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: They actually left a bunch of uh ankle wraps and
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: counterpane and stuff over at my house. I called it
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: and it was super sweet because, you know, they just
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: kind of left it there on the coffee table and
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: then my dad sent me an instructional video on how
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: to wrap my ankle as well. So it's very cute
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: and yeah, like so many people responded to that story
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: that I posted up saying like, you see, our dads
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: set the bar so high that it makes it difficult
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: for us to date anyone.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: That's not true. plenty of ladies as well. I would
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: say sometimes, you know, especially for girls, right, like the
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: kind of protectiveness is a bit different and I don't
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: think you understand it because you are not a girl, yeah,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: a girl, you understand.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: And, and I, I did subconsciously feel like I looked
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: for some qualities that my dad showed in my partner,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? It's just an example that
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: you see, right, in your whole life. And then when
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: you grow up, you're like, oh, I hope that someone
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: will also take care of me like this in the future.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: So I think it's a subconscious thing, but yeah, I
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: had a lot of sweet response. So thank you so
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: much for that. I can envision Jeremy wrapping your ankle
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: for you. Oh yeah, he had to do it last night. Yeah.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I, I asked him to help me put the counterpane
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: thing also.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: It's much better today though, to be fair. Like the
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: swelling has gone down. I can walk properly doesn't mean
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: go and walk or skedaddle. Please don't. I'm gonna what?
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Since when do I skedaddle? Can you not insult my walking,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: when you run? I mean, let's just sayaddle. I'm not
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: going to be participating in any Olympics meet anytime soon, OK? Olympics.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Good next to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Good
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: morning. Thank you for joining us. Coming up in just
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: a bit, we'd love to open up the phone lines
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: and we have a lovely prize in store for you.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: This one involves you if you're an EV driver, Sonia.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Oh well, that, that's me actually in 2026. Details next.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: About to open up phone lines. Alright, Sonia, so let's
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: ask your experience so far. How has driving an EV
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: changed your life? Um, it's, to be honest, saving me
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of money. I think I could not have
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: picked a better time to start my partnership with MG because,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: you know, oil prices and all that going up, right? Um,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: people have been trying to find the cheapest options to
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: pump petrol and all that. So I'm quite grateful because, um,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: if you
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: You are used to pumping petrol and paying a certain
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: amount at the petrol station. It's quite refreshing to see
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: how much you pay just to charge your, your car.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't drive as much as you, but
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: when I take a private hire car, for example, most
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: of the time now what shows up are the hybrid
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Grab taxis, hybrids, and then on the roads, I see
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of BYDs. I mean BYD is really popping
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: up the market here.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Singapore. I'm seeing Teslas and other brands that you think
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: are actually fuel powered but they're actually EVs. So that's
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: why I think our friends over at LTA love them,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: by the way. They are, they are doing their best
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: to help maybe say the SCDF, the firefighters here in Singapore,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: touch wood in case an EV car catches fire. They
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: they want to help them identify it better.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: So, and this is where the comment section here in Singapore,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: very interesting. No, you have to admit, as Singaporeans, we
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: can be funny when we want to, OK? So there
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: is a proposed, not confirmed yet, ah, proposed design that
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: maybe those who drive EVs, right, their license plate, no,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: please don't tell me. Please don't tell me it's gonna
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: be colored something. It might be shades of green.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: So the first option, yeah, dark green plate with black
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: font font.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Second option, gradient light green with black font, and 3rd,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: light green with black font.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: And I, and I say this objectively, la, OK, looking
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: from the artist's impression, it's not the nicest, is it? OK, la,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: can be better lah. Wait, is there another way of
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: going about this because, you know, sometimes, right, for certain
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: car colors, you just cannot clash, have a clashing color
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: for your number plate, you know what I mean? Imagine
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: if your car is like bright red and you have
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: a green number plate Christmas every day, every day.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: That's a no for me. I mean, I don't really
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: like colors on my vehicle. Um, well, I, I do
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: know that at one point in time, there were some
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: car companies, I think,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I cannot remember which one, but uh I'll I'll tell
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: you when I do recall. They actually issued the number
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: plate EV and then your number and then a letter
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: at the end to indicate the 1st 100 of their
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: EVs being sold in Singapore. LTA. I, I feel like
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: this could be a better option. But then again, then everyone's,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of people's number plates are going to start
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: with EV SEV 0001. Yeah, but how many can they
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: issue because there are actually a lot of EVs now.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: So maybe that wasn't the most feasible idea. So I
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: actually googled this ways to identify EVs. Apparently popped up
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: and those who are driving EVs in Australia, they have
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: this little triangle that says EV that's bolted onto the
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: license plate. But but whether it's easily spotted, that's the question. OK,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: so that they easily identified.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Then how the only, the only way is the color
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: of the number plate. I get why they went with that,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: but ugly la.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: What if I'm, I'm a minimalist kind of person. I
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: don't want any colors on my car. I just like it. Yeah, yeah. OK, well,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: you know, why don't we crowdsource some ideas to, to
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: help our friends over at LTA, right? They're the ones
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: that are talking about this right now tuned in. Hello, LTA. Yeah, um,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: give us a call 669-11987. How else would you think
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: it's
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: An effective and easy way to identify an electric vehicle.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Let us know, get creative with it in exchange, we've
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: got a lovely experience to Novotel Singapore just for you
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: to enjoy their Stevens' Sunday brunch for two. This is
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: worth $240. I call this the Vongole song. Yes. Oh yeah, Vongole.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Now you got me craving Pongole. We know we have
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: some good one, yeah. Anyway, we're going to our messages first.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: We're talking about the identification of EVs moving forward. I
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: think this has been a conversation with our friends over
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the LTA. How do we better identify EVs on the
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: road for safety reasons and uh some other concerns as well, right,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: that they had? Come to our friends at LTA. We
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: help you take feedback. Yeah, we're crowdsourcing. OK, I want
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: to say good morning to Charlene.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: As well as Jay. So they are separate texters, but
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: they both have the same idea. How about adding a
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: leaf emoji on the car plate? Oh, a leaf. That's
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: quite cute. Yeah, that's Charlene's text. And then Jay reads,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I think LTA should change the design of the carpet
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: with a leaf design in front or behind the plate
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: number instead of a whole green plate forming emoji.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: That's also green in color, by the way, that emoji.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: John says, How about keep it simple. Include a lightning
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: bolt sign on the license plate like the flash for EVs.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I like that. I like that because you know you
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: charge your car during cooling off days we can drive
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: our cars. This one, yeah, lightning bolt.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: OK, how about, OK, my, my suggestion, you know, your cars, right,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: usually there is, um, you're next to the number plate,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: there will be, let's say the model name of your car.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: For example, I drive an MGS5, right? So they'll put
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: like the S5 somewhere around there. It looks like a silver,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: you know, plaque or something on your car at the back.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: So most cars will have it, you know, whatever model
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: that is. Why don't they put the leaf badge below that?
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Like a small one, so it's not so garish. Interesting, yeah,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: but you get what I'm saying. Yeah, I do. I do,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I do. OK, we're collecting all your texts and your
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: phone calls in a while, I think I'm gonna call
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Howard in just a bit. So stay with us here
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: on the circuit. Yeah, stay tuned. Back to the phone
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: lines and our WhatsApp messages. We're gonna get to Howard
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: in a short while, but first, more texts coming through.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: How else would you identify our electric vehicles here in Singapore? OK,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: one coming in from WL on WhatsApp.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Hey Sonia and Joakim, no need to worry whether EV
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: or not. Maybe like NRICs, EVs can start with T
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: instead of S.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Right. Oh well, the, the only problem is because with
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: the amount of EVs already on the road.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Um, there will be a batch that, you know, you
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: have to go and change it, right? So I guess
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: that's extra effort versus if you're just buying it now
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: and they already changed the rules. One coming in from
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: username Jim. Morning Sojo. You know those triangle plates that
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: new drivers have to paste at the back of the car.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe LTA can consider having one with, I don't know,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: some cute logos like a tree or an alphabet E
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: or something to make sure it's pretty visible. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: could be cool. And this way.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Don't really have to go in through so much effort
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: to go change number plate and all that, right? One
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: last one coming from Afia. Morning, Sonia and Joakim. The
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: artist's impression is so bad. Oh no, I hope LTA
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: will really listen to the ground. I suggest either a
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: small green charger icon on the existing car plate, a
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: green left border, or if LTA really likes green so much,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: a green border lah. And she actually gave us an
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: AI generated.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Inspired by Japan. This is inspired by Japan. Looks like
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: the US, a little bit, yeah. But it's very cute
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: actually because, you know, they're they're all about the arts
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: and crafts. I see Gardens by the Bay behind that cute.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: I like it. I like it. Yeah. Hey man, these
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: are great suggestions. Howard, what about you? What do you think, man? Right,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: so I, I feel that the best way to handle
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: this is via the, you know, the ones that you
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: put on your windscreen you put it on the right.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: just behind the OBU so you don't have to look
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: at it if it's an eyesore. Our friends on the
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: STDS can find it quite easily as well, and I
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: think the best part is you can design it however
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: you want, so it can be really cool. LTA designed
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: one they can crowdsource it or something and design one
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: really cool, and then, you know, everybody just uses the
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: same one, and they can do it. Out of curiosity, Howard,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: do you drive an EV right now, EV? Uh, not
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: at the moment, but I do plan to do it.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Hey, you know, sometimes when people want to
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: make the switch, but they're not quite sure, they tend
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: to go hybrid first, then they go full EV, but
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: it really depends. I went 0 to 100. There was
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: some getting used to, but now that I'm more used
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: to like, OK, strategically charging whenever, it's quite easy. So, um,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: hopefully that gives you some inspo, Howard. Yes, thank you. Alright,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: have a great day, man. Bye-bye. On the back of
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: uh some news that they're trying to find ways to
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: identify EVs quickly.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Um, there's been a lot of interesting opinions coming out
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: because an artist's impression was actually released, to which I
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: think mixed reviews, lah, right? OK, lah, I won't say.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Majority of people don't really like it. Majority of them going.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: It's not the most aesthetic. Yeah, yeah, I know. I
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: like the color green, but maybe not for a number plate.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: It doesn't pair well with most colors. A lot of colors, yeah,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: that's right. OK, we got a text coming in from
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: A who says, morning, Sonia and Joakim. The EV plates
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: you mentioned earlier is actually from Hyundai.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: The 1st 100 EVs produced in Singapore. That was the one, yeah.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: So I actually asked AI and the proposal they gave
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: me was quite practical where there is a lightning bolt
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: in green at the corner front of the number plate. Oh,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: that's a, yeah, that's a good one. OK, yeah, that's
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: quite an interesting suggestion.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: One more coming in, and I guess your name is Zaky. Zaky,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: you say, morning, Sojo. Have you guys Googled Malaysia EVs yet?
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I think the best way to do something similar to Malaysia,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: or rather what we have currently in Singapore, using the
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: existing white font and yellow rear.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: The EV in front of the plate number modification required,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: is that what you mean? Like do you have to,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: is it on the plate? Oh, OK. So you still
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: have to replace your number plate. This one looks a
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: bit high tech and high budget.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: How about a battery indicator on the front and the
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: rear windscreen? A transparent LED strip or display embedded at
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: the top or bottom of the windscreen, showing battery status
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: in real time. Oh, interesting suggestion.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: The only thing is that I think for, for our
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: friends at LTA if they can find a way to
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: just roll it out quickly would be best, right? Because
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: if you make a ruling about the number plates, it's
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: gonna take a while before everyone changes their number plates,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? But if it's a very
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: unpopular and they roll it out, it's shoved down the
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: driver's throat. That's why I said earlier on what Howard
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: suggested with the decal. I think that's the most fast, free,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: easiest way.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: To indicate that you're driving an EV, yeah, so that
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: could be, you know, at the lowest cost as well. OK,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: touch wood, wood, in case there's an accident and if
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: the windshield or windscreen smashes, no detail to identify whether
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: EV or not. Maybe, maybe that could be, that could
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: be one of the reasons. But with the number plate,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: if you cannot reared from the back, yeah, exactly.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Uh, lots to consider. And we have a winner for
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: today's prize. Like we always say, you know, this entire
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: week we've got a beautiful experience thanks to our friends
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: over at Novotel. Um, Steven's Sunday brunch coming your way
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: where you can turn your Sundays into a family vacation,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: not a staycation, but decation. Why? Because they've got a
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: luxurious seafood buffet featuring freshly shucked.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Oysters, prawns, lobsters, live cooking stations, even a complimentary bottle
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: of Prosecco for every 2 adults, and this price is
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: worth $240. Now, don't forget, April 5th, the same weekend
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: of High Rocks and Two Time You, our friends over
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: there are having their Easter brunch special, so stay close
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: to them on.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Instagram for more details. Yeah, and if you have kids
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: as well, they've got fun activities like Easter egg hunts
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: and egg painting competitions. In fact, can I tell you
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: a fun fact? I used to love painting eggs. My
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: mom would actually empty out the, the egg white and
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: egg yolk by poking a small hole in the egg,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: and then you can actually insert a chopstick so that
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: you can paint on the egg.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: And I had so many, like I used to paint
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: so many Easter eggs. So cute. By the way, fold
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: them over at Noble Stevens on Instagram. But for today's winner,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: let's give it to Howard who called us earlier.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Congratulations again. Now I really hope that you enjoyed this
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: one and we've got more for you throughout the entire week.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Not just that, but I really hope our friends over
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: at LTA will listen to us here on 987 and
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: then they'll do more on ground research and see how
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: to better identify EVs here in Singapore. Yeah. Other than
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: just using a green license plate. Yeah, I think they
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: should definitely take the creative suggestions from our listeners today.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Let's see. Cashi takes us tonight. Wake
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: up.
• 35:36

• 39:54
  Speaker 2: and maybe say a millennial or older Gen Z, I
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: think this year before National Day, a day before National Day,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: all of us will be crying over at the Star Theater,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: crying at the Star Theater. What sad band is playing.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Not just Sad Ben, but they are touring one final
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: time before they call it a day. I need to,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: can you give me some hints? I wanna guess. I
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: wanna guess. OK, they have one song where if you
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: listen to, right, you'll definitely cry. OK, I can name
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: quite a few like different bands or artists that have that.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Just think a band that was really popular in 2013, 2014, 2015. OK,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: are you talking like dashboard confessional like?
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Goo Goo Dolls, this kind of era or what? Oh no,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: it's our, our era. OK, our era. And the Sam
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Willows and the Sam Willows actually covered one of their
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: biggest singles ever. What? OK, I'm at a loss. I
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: need to find out more. Full details in a while
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: on who's coming to Singapore one final time and touring
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: one final time as well in just a bit here
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: on the show. The 8th of August of this year,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: the day before National Day. Stand by the tissues and
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: standby to hug your best friend.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Jokim earlier on, you said that it's something millennials will
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: know and even the older Gen Zs. Yes, it's sad songs.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Would you say that? Songs that if you listen to
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: while on a heartbreak, you'll definitely have a breakdown. OK, OK.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Are you ready? Yes. For one last time, they are
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: touring the world before they call it a day. Caer line.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: All I want is nothing more. See you walk right back.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: My door. So this is your emo song, is it?
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: That's the kind of song where if you break up
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: with someone or if your crush rejects you, right? Yeah,
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: you listen, you confirm cry. Well, when I broke up previously,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: I listened to Toxic by Britney Spears, and I felt better. Yeah, OK,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: depends on the circumstance. OK, true, true. So I think
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: our friends over at Live Nation, they have posted some
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: ticket sales dates. 30th of March is the artist pre-sale.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: And I think 31st is MasterCard and the 1st of
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: April is the Live Nation pre-sale. 2nd of April is
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: general sales. But isn't the venue kind of like smaller,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: more intimate theater, I think it's only one night. Yeah,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: maybe about 6000 people. Wow, OK, well, hopefully you get
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: your tickets if you really, really want to catch in action.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: For the last time, I can't believe it. An end
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: of an era. So the countdown begins because we have
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: a very special announcement just for you. If you followed
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: us on the shock circuit out at sea on the
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Disney adventure, you would know that we did some shopping, right?
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: And we did do on TikTok Live as well, we
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: did mention um that we wanted to do some shopping
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: But what you may not know is what we eventually
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: bought and what is being stored in the office right now.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: So giving you a heads up, tell your family, tell
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: your kids, Friday morning, be on standby on 987 and
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: our social media pages because we're gonna drop a video
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: about all that went in our Disney bag. And it's
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: not just one bag. I'm just saying I'm looking at
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: it right now, it's several bags like 4 or 5.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: So we cannot wait. Please stay very close to 987's
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: socials as well and our show, of course, in the morning.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: More details very soon. Well, this is the point that
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: I leave you, Joe, for the next two days. Where
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: are you going? I just got a very, what do
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: you mean again? I hardly go anywhere. Take me with you.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: I hardly, you realize that you take way longer trips
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: than I do, right? That's true. Put me in your luggage,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: take me with you. No, no, no, I'm, I'm just
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: off for a short one to Phuket for a while.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: trip, but I'll keep you updated for sure, and I
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: think I'll be meeting some cool people from around the
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: region and the world, so it'll be quite fun. But um, I'll,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: I'll update you and keep you in the loop on socials,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: but I'll be back on Friday, where we actually have
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: a big announcement to make on a giveaway of a
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: shopping spree we did on a Disney adventure. I can
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: only hope nobody wins 987 Secret Sound while I'm tomorrow
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: and on Thursday. That's quite sad. Yeah, I don't want
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: to miss it. I don't want to miss it.
