• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Good next to you.
• 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. Good morning. Welcome back
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: to work and school after a long weekend, and Joakim,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: why do you look so exhausted today? How did I
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: even make this show is what I want to know.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: After my two times half marathon. Wow. What time was
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that yesterday? 4:15 a.m. OK lah, you got time to rest,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: one hit music station.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Long Shot with Vanilla Days, a brand new track right
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: here on 987, Singapore's number one hit music station, but
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it's anything except Vanilla Days right now. It's Rainy Days. Um, I,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I really feel for you if you're up this early
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: because earlier on when I was on the way, I
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: actually saw a lady get caught in the very, very
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: heavy rain. It was really it was like a typhoon
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: out there. And honestly, it was a very scary drive
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to work this morning.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Um, this lady that was walking at the sidewalk as
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I was driving, she was holding onto an umbrella really tightly,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: like for her life, right? And midway through her walk
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: down the slope, she decided to turn back. I think
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: she was like, forget it. I'm, I'm gonna be drenched
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: by the time she gets to there, I'm not sure
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: where she was going, bus stop probably or, or the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: train station.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I felt for that lady. If you're awake
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: right now, I know it's a tough one this morning,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: but we'll be with you every step of the way.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Joakim's gone on down to get his breakfast. First thing
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: when he got up here, he was like, I need
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to go get some food. Don't know what he got,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: but it's been a while, so he'll be back soon,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Coming up in just a few minutes, um, I would
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: love to wake you up with actual physical coffee, which
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I just made, smells so good. Just the smell of
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: it is, uh, has given me some life, but this
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: might just be a little bit of a rude shock
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to you this morning. It's related to tea and coffee.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: But it's also related to the prices over at certain
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: coffee shops. Joakim has been gone for a total of,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many minutes now. What happened, bro?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I apologize. What went on? I think I was solo
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: for like 20 minutes. The first vending machine I went to,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it's spoiled. So, it's not working, is it? the sandwich.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The machine needs to be fixed. Went to level 9
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: for the salad machine. OK, so you ended up getting
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: cold food when initially you're like, I need something hot
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and I went to vending machine hunting here in Media. Yeah,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, I, I have to say our vending machines,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: we do have quite a few.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It's just that because it's the only one of the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: only things available to us at this time of morning,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: especially because it's raining very heavily today. Yeah, that's why,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we get sick of it lah. That's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: what we're saying. I wouldn't do this right now. I doubt, yeah, don't,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: don't accept this order right now. By the way, if
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you're on the road, and I'm pretty sure said this already,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: please drive safely. Even my cab, it skidded for a bit.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, as long as he was alert
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and you know, it's quite normal to skid sometimes, so
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: just got to be careful as a driver. I know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: at least that woke you up, right? Something else that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: could wake you up as well. It's not the best news,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: but I understand why it's happening and it was bound
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to happen. So earlier on while you were away, I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: said that, you know, I was making my coffee, but
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: then the timing was just impeccable because this article popped up.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Some coffee shops here in Singapore are about to raise
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: prices of their coffee and tea by between 10 to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: 30 cents because of rising costs, as we know. It
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: has officially hit our kopitiams and our coffee shops, Jokim,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and you know that things are getting serious when that happens. Now,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: not all coffee shops are doing it. Um, a lot
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of the big coffee shops are saying they will monitor
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the situation first because they understand, yes, the costs are rising,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and if it's rising for them, where else?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Can they put it except in their prices, right? I mean,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I understand, I understand that. And also don't be surprised
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: if you see your bottled or canned drinks going up
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: by 10 cents to maybe 50 or 60 cents because
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of the new return scheme and the machines are actually
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: all over the neighborhood already. So, um, just a shout
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: out to Sheng Yuan Coffee Shop in McPherson. They were
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: one of the first ones that put up a notice
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: about the price hike, right? But I don't know why
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: they picked 1st of April to put it lah. I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: wonder if people thought I must be joking.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: OK, to all PR agencies and any business organization or
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: F&B or what to put an announcement out on the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: 1st of April, you are really taking a risk with it, OK.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Either that or it's perfect marketing because people are speculating,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: prank or is this real? Maybe, maybe, but anyway, it's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: since been picked up by the news over the weekend.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So just a note, if you're going to your nearest
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: coffee shop and you're used to a certain price, it
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: may have increased. And if you're back at work today.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: And don't get a rude shock. That's all I'm saying. Well, just, OK,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: how much? $2. Actually, some places are really charging like that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Depends on where you are. At a coffee shop. Depends.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Like if it's, you know, in town or the CBD,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: then you know, you expect that kind of Still beats
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: like a $9 matcha, man. I mean, that's crazy, right? Yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: We know it's an incredibly tough morning to wake up to.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, we got you covered in about 10 minutes.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: We're going to open up phone lines. I think this
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: is going to be extra good for you this morning
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to just give a shout out to your friends, to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: your school, request for a song that will jolt you
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: awake this morning. The only thing I don't enjoy about
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the rain, you don't enjoy it, it was about 2,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it was during my time in secondary school and primary school, right?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Whenever it rains in the morning, especially on a Monday
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: or Wednesday, it'll be super humid. I'll be angry. You
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: know why? PE is canceled. Oh, I'll be super happy.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: We're opposites. I'll be like, who, I don't have to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: perspire today in the football, the games, the running. Oh,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: that does not sound like anything I did.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Did I ever say I was like, my friend and I,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I remember she's, her name's Abby, she doesn't live in
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Singapore anymore, but both of us are like the most
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: petite people of our class, right? Yeah, we're always the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: last people to get selected for any team sports like netball,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: captain's ball, whatever. You know why? The girls always say
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: we count you all as one person. Can I ask though, for,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: for a girls' school, right?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: What's PE like for you? Um, what we had, they
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: did captain's ball, netball, you know, there were certain, sometimes
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: if we are training for like or something we have running,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: but it was quite OK. We didn't really do like football. Yeah,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: we didn't have, we're not strong in football, but there was,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure, a team like a club or something. Yeah. No,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: but we were never really that strong with sports, but
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the netball girls were not.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Um, what else did we have? Well, a lot more
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: performing arts than sports, if anything, netball was probably one
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of our strongest sports if you ask me, and tennis, tennis, yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: The tennis girls were quite, quite, uh, quite fit as well.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: This one tennis. It's Jake with clouds right here on 987,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: which we are coincidentally surrounded by this morning. I think
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: really heavy rains.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: All round or either that it could be really overcast
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and cloudy in your end. Whatever it is, we're here
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to make sure that you get to school, get to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: work on time, get you energized by calling us 669-11987.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You can actually request for the song that you want.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Brand new week. It's a five-day work week. Business as
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: usual here in Singapore, but I think the next public
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: holiday will be Labor Day, May 1st.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Hm, yes, you're right. Mother's Day is not a public holiday, right?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Mother's Day were a public holiday, the entire world was
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: shut down for a day. I mean, look, I, I
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: think Mother's Day should be a public holiday because they
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: sacrifice and do so much for your kids, right? In
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that case, if somebody were to say, I agree, how
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: about Father's Day holiday.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm just helping us out, man, like, you know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: gathering those public holidays. Why not, right? You know, even
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: though it's a public holiday for Father's Day and Mother's Day,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: if they implement it, right, it rules out. It does
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: rule us out. And you know what, I just thought
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: about this. What if the moms and dads out there
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: don't actually want a public holiday because once they have
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a public holiday, they don't rest. They have to entertain
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: their kids.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: So it may not be a worthwhile kind of thing
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: at all. Only for the moms. The rest go back
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to go back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Anyway, we want
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to open up phone lines 669-11987. We'd love to hear
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: from you. And also you can give a shout out
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to your school. Tell us which school you're from, maybe
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: tell your friends hi on air and request for a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: song as well. Why not? Let us know if there's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: any weighted assessments as they call it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Now, let us know our common test. I don't know
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: what's the term anymore and we're about to head to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the phone lines very soon. We understand it's a very
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: tough morning to wake up to. We get it. Yeah,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: but something to perk you up very soon here on
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the shock circuit, maybe say in about 30 minutes' time.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: How about playing for $7000 when it comes to 987
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Secret sound. Yes, we have snowballed. We're now.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Heading into the big money territory as if $5000 and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: $6000 were not enough. Sonia. OK, so let's just say
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you want the $7000. What, what's the first thing you
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: would do? Invest in what I will do my best
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to invest in some stock or something and learn, read
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: up on some business finance knowledge and do it. Maybe
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: put half in there and grow it to maybe 10,000
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in the future if possible. We'll see.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: In this, uh, interesting times that we have around the world.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I know. But of course, at this moment here on
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the show, 669-119-87, call us and give us your shout
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: out to your favorite school or to a school that
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you're going to here in Singapore. It can be primary, secondary, JC, uni, ITE,
• 9:39

• 11:20
  Speaker 1: If you've just joined the show, you just tuned into us.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Border Crime is a segment where we cover ridiculous crimes,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: especially here in Singapore, that make us face palm, but
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: nothing serious, no one gets hurt.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: No one, you know, untoward happens to anyone. But don't worry,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy to report that later on there will be.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I have news that happened here in Singapore and you're
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: gonna sing the jingle. I will, I will, but for
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: this one, I actually, I feel for this person involved
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: more than anything else, OK. So this happened over in
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the UK.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Um, and it's a supermarket chain that it happened in, OK,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: one of those, like, I guess our equivalent of NTUC
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore or something. Waiting for the person involved,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the victim or perpetrator.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: The person is not a victim. It's the person who
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: tried to stop the shoplifter, OK? It's a staff member.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So yeah, no, no, no, not hurt, but here's what happened.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Just hear me out first. So this, um, supermarket is,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: you know, one of those big ones you can get
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Easter eggs from, you know, those Easter egg chocolates and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: all that, right? And I mean, it's the time, Easter
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: is the time of love and family and happiness. You're
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: supposed to have a joyous Easter weekend, right? And I
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: think in the UK it's quite big actually, you know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: UK and America, they've got a lot of Easter celebrations.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: There was this shoplifter that came in, tried to steal
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: some items from, from the supermarket.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: This employee of 17 years, working for a long time
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: at this supermarket chain, tried to stop the shoplifter from
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: exiting and getting away.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: In a twist of events, this employee of 17 years
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: got fired for apparently throwing a piece of Easter chocolate
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: at the shoplifter while he was getting away. So he
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: was trying to stop the guy. So he used a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: chocolate threw at the guy tried to stop him. He
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: got fired instead. What on earth? Why? He was there
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: for 17 years over in, in London. He's been working
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: for so long. OK, this supermarket chain.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It's a big supermarket chain, by the way, I don't
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: want to say what. Yeah, so, um, it's just, it's
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: just weird. I, I don't really know why, um, you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: he was stopped. I mean, I think they were in
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: a struggle. Maybe the, the supermarket chain said like, oh,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you damaged the goods or something, but he was trying
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to stop the shoplifting.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: So if you're not supposed to stop the shoplifter, what
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: are you supposed to do? Let him go? I don't know, man.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. I think, um, he was
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: told off by the manager, um, the matter escalated despite
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: his apology. I think, you know, he, he must have
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: damaged the chocolates and he also threw it to the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: ground out of frustration, so.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Why not just make him pay for the chocolates? I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know how to, I don't know
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: where exactly, but I can tell you um what what
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: supermarket it was. It's quite an upmarket 10 yeah, it's
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a more upmarket supermarket. I was gonna say Tesco.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: No, it's not Tesco. It's a little more, a little
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: bit more upmarket than that. It's our like finest, you know,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: like finest selections or something. It's Waitrose in London, where
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you've never, because you never go shop at the Attas one.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I'm more of a Tesco boy. Go and buy my
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: cereal and milk and some TVs. Yeah, I love Tesco, man. It,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: it's great. It's just like.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: What are those in the US as well? The Walmart, Costco, Walmart, yeah,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: all the big ones. I love them. So fun. The
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Easter weekend here in Singapore for the year 2026 would
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: always be known as workout weekend, except for me, I didn't.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: You know what, it's OK whether you went to the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Pilates studio or yoga studio, had a paddle game, or
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: you did the two big main events here in Singapore,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: high rocks or 2 times you. Let's.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Summarize it in just a bit here on the shock circuit.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: So you forgot about Jesus rising. Hey, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I went to mass yesterday, and can I just share, OK,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: so if you're not familiar with Catholic mass proceedings, there's
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: a segment in the mass where they call the offer
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: tree where they will pick two people to carry the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: bread and the water and wine and offer it to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the priests, you know, representing the world's offerings to God,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and they consecrate the gifts and all that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Guess who was selected yesterday on Easter Sunday? You and
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: your mom. My mom, my mom and I. She was
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: so happy. Did she like try to get their attention
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: in the beginning, we went into church and then the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: wardens came to us saying, You want to do offer 3?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: My mom's like, Yes, let's do it. What was your expression?
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, Mom, my hand burned.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Let me check now. I see, I think I see
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a mark there somewhere. So where were you during workout
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: weekend here in Singapore? OK, OK. In my defense, Friday night,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I was playing paddle, my first game back after I
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: sprained my ankle, which I gave you the ice. I
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: was OK. I wore the, I wore the ankle guard. Yeah,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and I, I spiked my smoothie, so I was, you know,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: more relaxed, and then.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, it doesn't work that way. It does. Next time
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: if you join a paddle game, you realize that it's
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: more than just sports. I mean, the group of people
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: who are very serious about it, and they're the social
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: players like, like myself. Yeah, you'll be at the social players,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: social players, yeah, so players club.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Like you haven't even played record sports in how long?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I'll take it seriously. I am taking it seriously. Doesn't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: mean you drink a spiked soda, but spiked smoothie smooth
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: got nutritional benefits also. Oh really? Yeah, it's got fruits
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and vegetables. Anyway, of course, Sonia playing pedal on Friday.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Good for you.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Saw the Insta stories, but look, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it was high rocks weekend here in Singapore, and yesterday,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: about what, 24 hours ago, 2 times you, and you're
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: still walking normally. No, I'm OK. 21 km can still tahan.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: 42 km. I might not be here this morning. Yeah,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I might be able to push you into the, I
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: might need to wheel you into the studio.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: No, so I think loads of public personalities here in
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Singapore took part in High Rock and of course you.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Shout out to whoever you know. But the one thing
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: here we go, I have a problem with is, is,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and look, this is not calling out anyone specifically. It's
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: whenever they say the phrase I had no training for this.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: But you don't believe that, right? It's not it's not
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I don't believe it. Is it equivalent to like someone
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: saying I didn't study for exam, then come out A? Yeah, yeah,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: not exactly that, but when it comes to something as
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: physical as high rocks or 2 times you, right, OK,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: touch wood, yeah, people have fainted.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: People have died from these things. People have had health issues.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Just to clarify, yeah, yeah, yeah, and people also get
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: sent to the hospital because they didn't listen to their
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: bodies injuries and stuff. So, so if a public personality says, oh,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I have no training, I know it's a pat on
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: their backs for having a bit of natural fitness, if
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: they survive, but if their impressionable followers look at their
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: video and go, Oh, no training, so I can do.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: If something happens, I don't know whether that personality wants
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: that kind of blood on their hands, you know. I
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: have a question. You know, when you, I've participated in
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: any of these big sporting events, right? You have to
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: sign a form, right? Every single sporting event that you
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: do indemnity. You are taking on a risk as well,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and the organizers are taking on a risk. And if
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: you yourself, you don't go through the right training.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Prep yourself well enough, then that's putting yourself at risk.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: And as somebody who takes running seriously but not at
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: an elite level, I'm more of a casual leisure runner, right?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Even before this whole 2x2 21 km, I trained. I
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: ran about 610 kilometers to prepare my body for a
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: 21 km, and even so, I hit a wall at
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the 15 km because classic Joakim Gomez start too fast.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, I hit a wall at 1 km.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: So you know what, whatever, whatever you did over the weekend,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: congratulations to you. Hopefully, you hit a personal best of
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a story to tell your friends and family. I did
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: hit a literal wall once after 5 km.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Um, it was, it was a bar. OK, I still
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: think you and I should do a mixed doubles together.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I cannot hear you for us here on 987. We
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: also have Loose Change. $7000 for you. $7000 called Loose
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Chan means you're some billionaire, you know. I mean, definitely
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: not either one of us. We are a multi-million dollar
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: radio station, and, yeah, sure thing. In what currency? That's right.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of which, did you end up, you, you
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: said that you wanted to buy like 40 for my
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: car plate number like over the weekend. What happened? Did
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you buy it in the end? Did it come out? No,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't check. I didn't.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: No, because you told me that you were going to
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: buy it because of some reason. I can't remember why.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Once again, we don't encourage gambling, but something happened on
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Thursday or Friday, and then Joki was like, I'm gonna
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: buy your car plate number. I've never done this before.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I know why. I know why. I know why. Because Joe,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: we were saying that we're gonna throw a paper ball
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: into the bin. If it gets in, you will strike
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: 40 this weekend. It's some stupid bet. I can safely
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: report your car.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Again, lucky.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: 87 secret.

  Speaker 1: Zach, sounding so happy this morning. How are you feeling?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling good. It's a heavy day now. Yeah, very, right? Zach,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: do you think you have the guests that will win
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you $7000? I guess so because I don't see people
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: answering that guest at the moment. Oh, not just yet. OK,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: this is a fresh guest. I'm hoping listen very carefully
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: one more time.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Zach, for $7000 what is a 987's secret sound? It's
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: a plain lucky stick, you know, the one that they
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: put in the plain lucky sticks, is that what it is? Yes, yeah,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: it's actually at the temple where they come up with,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: lucky sticks like fortune sticks very unique. I'm gonna boss
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Janice this answer right now. Alright, let's find out if
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: it's the right one.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: You are incorrect.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Chance to play 987's secret sound.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: What's that sound
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Zack, I must say it is a new guest. Nobody
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: has said this before. Very unique, but according to boss,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Jenny is not the answer we're looking for, and I
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: don't think she'll bring in any religious elements to Secret Sound.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I get it. I get it, but that one, I mean.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: You can do it as a tourist in Japan also,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I think, like, you know, just at the temple too,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: even here in Singapore That's right. Yeah. But anyway, your

  Speaker 1: Do one guess, win big.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: What's that sound? So we've been telling you this since
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the end of last week. We, together with our friends
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: over at UOB managed to secure the last few coveted
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: concert tickets to see Leve live in action.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Totally sold out, by the way. Look, so I caught
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: her live when she was here in Singapore, I think
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: 2 years ago at Arena at Expo. Amazing. Yeah, she's
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: amazing live and she's really a born musician. Yeah, voice
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: of an angel as well and gifted songwriter. Yeah, so
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: we want you to be there, you know, don't miss
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: out this time. Please make sure you call us 66.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: 911-987. This entire week, our topics are going to be
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: inspired by Leve related songs, OK? We're gonna kick off
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: with the one you just heard, Lovesick. Joakim, I'm sure
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: you have stories to tell for this one. Do you
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: still remember the last time you were absolutely heartbroken or lovesick?
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Do you remember? OK, I, I will share some of mine,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: but it was just
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: It may seem a bit childish because it was back
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: then when I was in school I was affected.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Got cry all you've seen me cry a couple of
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: times over a girl. Why you doing this to me? OK, OK,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I'll share one with you. Um, the last time I recall, the,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the one of the most, I guess, impactful breakups was
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: one of my, it was my first boyfriend ever from school, OK,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and I, I don't know, maybe I was just very
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: impressionable back then because I was like 18, you know,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: in poly, first proper relationship.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Um, he was 3 years older. He's a senior in
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: school as well. So I think that, that kind of
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: like impacted me a lot, and I think my mom
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and dad saw me go through that breakup quite, it
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: was quite tough for them to see it, although they're
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the kind of parents that are like, ah, you know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: just let her experience it herself and all that, right?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: But I recall there was one, we, we, we broke
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: up and then got back together and then broke up again,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong. The second breakup was quite bad
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: because I thought that it would be for real this time.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: And uh I think I, I just sat on the
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: floor of my room and cried and I refused to
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: eat or something like that the whole day, but this
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: was so many years ago I forgot we've all had
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: that kind of, yeah, it's the kind where like you
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: just don't want to do anything but listen to some
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: sad emo songs, you know, but sometimes I feel like
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the toughest breakups are the ones where you know you
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: have to walk away from it. Yeah, yeah, and honestly
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: we're still sort of in touch with.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Each other's lives in a way like it wasn't a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: bad thing. I think I was just too, we were
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: just too young back then, you know. Alright, so for
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: you to dig deep, dig deep, there we go and
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: share with us your stories. How about winning for yourself

  Speaker 1: today we're going to kick it off with Lovesick, talking

  Speaker 1: about some love stories here today. Do you recall the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: last time that you were lovesick or you were heartbroken,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: or maybe even those breakups where you look back on
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: it now and you actually laugh about it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Wanna say good morning to Angeline on WhatsApp. Hey Sonia
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and Joakim, this happened a few years back in secondary school.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: My crush rejected me. Oh no! And I was crying
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: for days.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: This is not about, this is not a story about Joim, right?
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Stop it. I was crying for days, but now when
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I look back, I puppy love. Yeah, I mean, look, we,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't have known better back then, right? We would
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: just think that like, OK, this is the worst moment
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: of my life, and I'll never recover from this. Angeline,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: not to worry, you're truly crying over girls in secondary
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: school as well. I could have formed a new reservoir,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: a water catchment area. Where would it be? Bishan or something.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: OK, one more jest in from Ali. Hello Ali. You
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: say morning Soki. I broke up with my girlfriend during
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: national service. Before you ask. No, it is not the
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: NS curse. We got together after I POP. We broke
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: up before I ORD. Reason why we broke up was
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I found out I was a backup. Aiya. And then
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: all this while she was dating me, she always had
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: someone else in mind.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: And when that guy finally showed up, she jumped ship,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: leaving me in the dust, and that traumatized me really badly.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I haven't dated anybody since then. It's been 8 years.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that, bro. Ali,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I'm giving you a hug, man. I know exactly how
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: this feels. Yeah, I mean, look, um, for what it's worth,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: at least you dodged a bullet because you don't want
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: her to do that to you now in like your
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: adult life. That could be a lot worse, right? OK,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: some very sad.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: And hard hitting stories on a Monday morning coming in, Sonia.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: We're inspired by some of her songs and song titles
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: as well. Kicking off with your lovesick stories today. Saying
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: hello to Jay. I fell in love with a close
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: friend of mine, someone I trusted, someone who knew me
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: in ways no one else did. Somehow, somewhere along the way,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: we kind of got together. It wasn't perfect, but it
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: was real. But life had other plans, circumstances, timing, everything.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: that fell out of our control and would always say,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: wrong timing. Eventually, we couldn't be lovers and somehow we
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: couldn't even be friends anymore. My biggest regret not being
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: able to hold on to this, not being able to
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: make it work, not even being able to just exist
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: in the way of life I wish I could. I
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's pain or just longing, but the
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: truth is, a part of me will always miss what
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: we had and will always wonder what could have been.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: At least be that one person that's the what could
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: have been person. Do you feel like every one of
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: us will have at least one or two of these
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: people in our lives, you know, like the bad timing, the, and,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and don't get me wrong, sometimes I've known our friends, right?
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: They're in happy relationships, right? But they come across another
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: person that intrigues them or that maybe is a good
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: friend that you never considered a relationship with, and it doesn't,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and you can't help but think like what could have been,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: You know, if you really just ended up getting together. I,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I believe that you could be meant to
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: be with more than one person in your life. I can,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I can only hope that when you have it, if
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you're attached, it's a fleeting one because if you harp
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: on it for too long, that's it. If you, if
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: you open the door, that's it. Good luck. We're on
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the topic of heartbreak, breakups, how you dealt with it,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: all inspired by Leiwei's love sick.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: And that's because we're giving away Leibei concert tickets every
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: single day this week. Officially sold out, but we managed
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to snag a few more thanks to our friends at UOB.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Happening May 19th, by the way, at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Finally,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: a venue that's deserving of Lei Wei's talents and gifts. Yeah,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: we're really excited. So TD's on the line right now.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Tell us your story, what happens?
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: So, a girlfriend of mine, our good friend actually, um,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: went through a bad breakup. So she was with her
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: boyfriend for about 7 years or so, and when he
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: joined as a flight attendant and then he hooked up
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: with another flight attendant. So eventually it was so bad,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: she was crying and everything.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: So we decided, like a bunch of girlfriends decided to
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: actually get together and um do a like a spell
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: party or something like that. So what we did was,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: we actually went to Botanic Gardens and then she brought
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: all her stuff. We dressed up in black, and then
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: we sat around, we had food, and then we shared
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: stories about how bad he was.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: And everything, and we actually burned and tore some of
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: the photos and like put so-called curse spells on him
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: so that he won't have a happy life or something
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: like that. And then um thinking about it, we actually
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: laughed it back and we had photos whenever we looked
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: back at it, it's like we were laughing at all,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: like how could we be doing all those at that
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: point in time. We were young, we were young at
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: that point.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I get you. I get you. Look, like, um, there's
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: no one that will have your back like your girlfriends, OK?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: And honestly, like I've been through breakups as well where
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: they were, so this is what my friends did, quite
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: similar to your spells no spells, no spells, but, um,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: they actually had a pinata, OK, and they put his
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: face on it so that we can bash the pinata.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: And then and then Candy comes out and there was some, um,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: they put like those fake eggs, you know, those like
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: plastic eggs also with his face on it and then
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: they put the cross on the.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Look, when we were young, all these things, you know,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: it was a process, right? It's it's just something to
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: make you feel better, um, not that we meant it
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: or I don't think there was, I don't think you
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: girls knew what you were doing when it comes to
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: like the so-called spells. No, no, no, they knew exactly
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: what they were doing, Sonia. They knew exactly what they
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: were saying and doing. So, so the question is, is
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: that guy leading a happy life now or did the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: spell work?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Um, let's say he has a receding hairline right now.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: You see what you did. Kenny. I ain't messing with
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you and your girlfriends, man. I want to keep my
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: hairline as natural as possible. So we're going to read
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: out last couple of messages here before we reveal the
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: winner in just a bit. OK. One coming in from Jerry.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Hey guys, I have an open inverted comma, wartime breakup
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: story to share.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: So this is about 2 decades ago when some of
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: us in the navy were deployed to the northern Arabian
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Gulf for operations. We were on the ship and network
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: connectivity was restricted to small bandwidths. While surfing social media
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: when we were off watches, I chanced upon a Facebook
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: picture of my then-girlfriend with another dude. Oh no. We
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: were already together for
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: 5 years, but it was a topsy-turvy relationship. I wouldn't
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: say it's toxic, but it's probably not the kind of
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: relationship to last a lifetime. I called her during our
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: allocated phone time hours and asked her about it, but
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: got lambasted for being too sensitive. Maybe it was the
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: operational stress of being at sea for a prolonged period.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I told her then that this is not working out.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I don't trust her anymore. She hung up.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: When I tried to call back, she had turned her
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: phone off. Lucky for my comrades who kept me occupied
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: till we completed our operation. I was rather affected and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: didn't get into another serious relationship for the next 10 years,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: always pulling out when things got serious. Looking back, the
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: breakup was a blessing.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: in disguise for I wouldn't have met my forever loved
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: now wife if that breakup did not happen. Yay. See,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: so you know what, sometimes everything happens for a reason.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I really believe in that. That's it for today's winner, Sonia.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Let's give it to Tenie who called us earlier.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Congratulations TD. You cracked us up. You made us laugh
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: so hard earlier. It was a journey because what started
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: off as heartbreak turned out into a show of support
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: for a friend, and we loved it. Please catch up
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: with your Ami listen and Spotify, but you're going to
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: catch Lei Lei live in concert and you will be
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: card members.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Enjoy priority access to some of the hottest entertainment acts
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: in the region. We're very grateful to them for that.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: So Tinny, bring that friend that you helped cheer up
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: and enjoy Leve together and welcome to another episode of
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Bodo Crime, Bodo Crime, Bodo Crime.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Today we are going to Red Hill. OK, oh, Red Hill.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: The rogue streets of Red Hill. We just try to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: alliterate that all the time. I was thinking the Rak
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: streets of Red Hill, but OK, you said Rogue.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: So, um, Sonia, not that I'm encouraging it, I never will.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: When it comes to vandalism and vandalizing something, what would
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: you vandalize? Nothing. If you were a vandalizer, OK, if
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: you're a serial vandalize.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I better, it better be to showcase my
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: art or something, you know, maybe a trash bin. Yeah,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: like one of those big trash bins, you know, like
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: you see in the movies sometimes, yeah. 53 year old
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: man was identified.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Officers at the Clementi Police division. OK. Take a guess
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: on what he vandalized in Red Hill vending machine. No, no,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: it's a hint. It's the last thing. It's the last
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: thing that they vandalized. It's the last thing you want
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: to vandalize.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: The police station. You're close. I'm close. The police car. No, why?
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: So apparently this 53 year old man took his key
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and you know they they call it the car, right?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: So he scratched the door. In my mind I was
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: like graffiti that's considered vandalism as it is. So I
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: think the people around the area saw him do it,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: and now he's caught. Is there a reason why he
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: angry at them for something or
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Even if you are angry at the police, you don't
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: want to vandalize the car. You do notice how many
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: cameras they have on that car. Your face will be
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: caught in 4K, you know. So yes, this is the
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: episode of Crime for you. Oh my God. Wait, so
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: what's the, what's the verdict? Like what's happening after this?
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: So today he's being charged with the offense of vandalism.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: So here's the, here's the fine and all that, yeah.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Convicted, he might be fined up to $2000 or be
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: jailed for up to 3 years. This is so not
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: worth it. This is the most boa crime I've ever
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: heard about. The icing on the cake. He may also
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: be liable to caning between 3 to 8 strokes. No rotten.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: There you go. We'll wait for that verdict, I guess.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: So anyway, this has been Bodo crime, crime, crime.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: The Rogue and Rabak streets of Redhill. This one is really. So, um,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, but as we know it, no,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I'm right for sure. You know why? Why? You don't
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: like turtle soup, do you?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I've never tried, right, and I don't think I ever will.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: I know, I know you because you're not the most adventurous.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I don't mean it in a bad way. You're just not, uh,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: you don't eat like innards, for example, or like exotic dishes.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: The only turtle I look forward to is mobile legends.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what that means it's OK.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: you will understand, but yes, there we go. Uh, yeah,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: so if you are like Joakim and actually myself as well,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever tried turtle soup, to be honest.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I think I was presented with the, you know, the
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: option to on a travel show once, but I don't
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: know if I did. I can't recall. I, I think
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: because I had a turtle in the past, I had
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: a terrapin, and I just can't. I mean, I know
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: they're not the same, but I can't envision.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Eating it, you know, it's just, uh, I can't. The
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: terrapin's name was Polly. Yes, and she grew so big
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: we had to rescend to the pond.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the memories, Polly. Um, if you are like
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: us and you don't really want to eat the literal
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: turtle soup, find out where you can get something that
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: tastes apparently exactly like turtle soup, but it's not made
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: from turtles. What is this, the vegetarian version of turtle soup?
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Something it's made using other proteins, but I'll tell you
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: more at this fine dining restaurant in just a little bit.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Time for some food news. 123. Hang on, hang on,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: hang on. Yes. It's good, it's good. It's a good thing.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: But it's turtle soup related. It's, yes, but let me
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: hear me out first. OK, 123, food news.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: News. Sonia with the good food news. Bring us out
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: of our shells, Miss Sonia Chew. So here's the thing,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: you know, both of us aren't gonna go get a
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: bowl of turtle soup anytime soon. Let's just say, OK.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Here's the good news. There's a new restaurant in town.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: It's a bit of a fine dining situation, so please
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: block it for your next date or you want to
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: bring your mom or your family.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: They serve turtle soup, but it's not made of turtle.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Say hello to chef Andre Chiang's brand new restaurant called
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: 1887 over at Raffles Hotel. You may find his name
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: familiar because um his three Michelin starred restaurant Andre was
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: in Singapore previously. They closed in 2018, but he's actually
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Taiwanese born.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: He's back here in Singapore this time around at a
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: gorgeous new location. I have to say, the menu looks
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: stunning and so does the restaurant itself. I think he
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: really wants to connect stories and histories of the land
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: and give something special to Singapore. So we're very happy
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: to welcome him back. Our friends over at Eight Days Eat,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I think they got a very exclusive sneak peek into it.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: So it's beautifully done. I think Victorian maximalism is the
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: theme of their entire restaurant. Super beautiful, beautiful. I'm pretty
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: sure they more than just the uh what what do
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: we call soup. Yeah. Let me tell you what's actually
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: in the turtle soup, OK.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: OK. So this is an example. Um, it's, it's a
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: discovery of turtle soup on a menu from the year 1917,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: and back then I think it was considered like a
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: a status symbol. If you're able to eat turtle soup
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: and afford turtle soup, you're like rich, you know, back then, 1917, right?
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: So he interpreted it in his own way. It's called
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: turtle soup from 1887, but it's not made from turtle.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: It's made with double boiled chicken, grouper fish, herbs. However,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: he says, if you blindfold someone, you cannot taste the difference.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: You will think it's turtle soup.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: The only problem is I don't know how turtle soup
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: tastes like, so I'm just gonna order it and enjoy
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: it as it is chicken soup with fish. So given
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: history and how you said that turtle soup back then
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: was a symbol of wealth, status symbol, yeah. So when
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: we have this turtle turtle soup, we are still poor
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: la no t turtle, yeah, it's not natural, but you
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: don't want that right now, right? Times have changed. Times
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: have changed.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Um, all these have, have also shifted, but the restaurant's
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: menu follows the tradition of naming dishes in honor of
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: prominent people as well. So I think, um, you know, artists, um,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: people that are very famous from back then, maybe French
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: actresses and all that, these are all named after famous people.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I just saw one that I want to try already,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: which is Supreme of Chicken Windsor.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: You will feel like Sir Joakim Gomez when you're eating it.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Hopefully I'm saying this. There's one called Bochi Balmoral. Oh,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Balmoral is the name of a famous person. OK, yes,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I think Balmoral. I wonder what that is. So please
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: check it out. I think.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: It is unmistakably him in his, you know, precision, clarity, flavor,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: maybe even a bit of humor here and there as well.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Located at Raffles Hotel Singapore, they just opened. So please
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: go and support your favorite restaurants and chefs as well,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: not just him, everyone out there if you can.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: OK, so after you recovered from your half marathon already,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: what's the next sporting event that you're gonna, you're gonna do?
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Another half marathon. When is that? Because in October. You
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: just recovered from one yesterday. Yesterday. So it's the Garmin,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the Singapore. There's a half marathon happening on the 25th
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: of October.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: And then it's the big one, the BYD Singapore International
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Marathon presented by Adidas. That's happening December 6th. So you're
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: doing both of them. Yeah, so back to back I'll
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: do the full marathon, 42 km. OK. No, no, this
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: year I need to lock in, man. Last year I
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: was so sad, got injured and all that. This year
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling good. I'm taking the ice bath seriously, my
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: recovery and run seriously. I've dropped a bit of weight.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy, but I'm trying my best to go
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: back down to below 80, man. OK, so when can
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: we eat biryani together? I had it yesterday.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: OK, like that, I wait for you, then you don't
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: wait for me. OK, the next time we have biryani,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: let's do it after your honeymoon when you come back, OK?
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: So you're OK to do that. You're not cutting weight
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: or anything. OK. By July, I should be around the
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: 80 to 81 kg range. I'm not at 83, so
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: 2 more kg to go. So 11 meal won't hurt.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Actually it might depending on how much I might eat.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Oh right, that's a problem. So for your wedding and
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: for me, we don't eat biryani from now. No, we're
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: not going to because um on my wedding itself, there's
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: going to be a lot of food, like amazing local
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: delights at lunch, and then there's going to be, I'm
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: pretty sure you RSVP for the dinner and you already
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: selected what you want.

  Speaker 1: I guess you chose steak, right? Yeah, OK, I was
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: sitting on, do I get the caught with the curry
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: option or the steak? You're going for steak. I knew

• 43:34
  Speaker 1: so much for kicking off your week with us.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: We know that it must have been a very sleepy, tough, cold,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: chilly Monday morning to wake up to with the rain
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: and everything. Um, we hope that you got to your
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: destination safe because like I was sharing with Joakim, and
