• 0:43
  Speaker 1: step closer to another phase of life very soon? No, no.

  Speaker 1: same guy you met 16 years ago. Look, if both
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of us are the same people that we remember, that's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a problem. Yeah, exactly that many years ago, then we
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: haven't done much development or growing. Can't say the same
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: for most people. Oh damn. I was gonna say the

  Speaker 1: to bring la.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: 22nd of July, a Wednesday, I love this date, to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: be honest with you. You know what, I was just
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: doing some research yesterday on people that I share my
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: birth date with. OK, so who are they? Can I,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: can I just list you some notable names? Yeah, OK,

  Speaker 1: idea who they are. Born on this date in the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: year 1998, you have Selena Gomez, you have me.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: You have Verneta Lopez, our colleague. Oh, she also shares
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the same birthday as you. Yeah. My favorite wrestler of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: all time, Shawn Michaels, William Dafoe. What? And I do
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: not find this a coincidence. The man Singh, no, no,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I wish I'm joking, I'm joking. The man who wrote
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: our national anthem.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: No way. No way. You guys share the same. What,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: what was the year? 22nd of July 1907. You know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: now I, I got really interested about that because I've
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: never searched that up before was born was born. So
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I searched up Stan Lee is born on 28th of December.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: What's up? OK, who else? Um.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Uh, Denzel Washington. Wow, John Legend, born on the twenty-eighth. Bro,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that's an elite. So far, female-wise, not too much. Sienna Miller,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's an actress. I can name you one
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: person I know who was born the same day as you. Joelolo. OK,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: can we, can we add one more person that we
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: both know, my ex-girlfriend. Oh yeah.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: OK, who we're still on talking terms with, we always
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: joke about it. We always joke about it because, uh,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: back then when Joakim would celebrate her birthday as well,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: then sometime like either the previous night or the same night,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I'm also having like a birthday thing and then both
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of you will come. Exactly. So I want you to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: 8 years ago and I asked her, oh, when's your birthday?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: 28th of July.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: December of December, yeah, yeah, had to do a split,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: same birthday, same year. I know, I know what the odds, right?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Did you, in, in that moment, did you take that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: as a sign? Like, OK, I have to date this girl,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like numbers wise, oh, this can't be
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a coincidence. Maybe it's a good sign. I mean, I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: took it as a sign that if I were to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: have married her, I'm stuck with these cosmic twins for life.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I know you as my good friend and she is
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: my wife in the future, you know, sometimes these things
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: work out to be quite funny, right? Because I realized
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that I have a lot of people around me who
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: are also born around December, for example, or like even
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: my own, my own partner, like he's born on the twenty-seventh. Wow, yeah, exactly.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so it's it's just funny and we laugh
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: about it all the time. I mean, November and December
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: are quite popular for people to be born in.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Because Valentine's Day, November and December sort of think about
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it that time, that time.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Anyway, um, we're gonna catch up a little bit more
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: about this later on. So, we're just, you know, in
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: holiday mood today because it's Joakim's birthday, so it should
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: be a public holiday. So early on I said, um,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: an end of an era for this particular department store,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a place that my mom and I used to shop
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: at a lot. I remember as a kid, I was
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: so excited to go here and then she might just
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: buy me something, you know, and as an adult even,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: they've got, sometimes they've got great deals on like skincare
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: or like essentials that I need. Give me a hint.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Um, there's one over in, there's one prominent one over
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: in town, like in Orchard Road. Which part of town?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Uh, be, be more specific. OK, it is very near.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Well, my directions are are really bad. OK, it's a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: place that jams up quite a lot.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And right opposite it, there's a very big sports store. Paragon. Yeah, Paragon.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: What's in Paragon? Metro Metro, yeah, end of an era
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: for Metro. I know, I was shocked too. They are
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: closing their remaining Paragon and Causeway Point stores after their
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: leases expire, and they quoted that it's been a challenging
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: time here in Singapore. Um, it's a strategic review of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: its retail business amidst all the operating challenges faced in Singapore.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: So it's quite, it's quite sad because they've been here
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: for more than 6 decades, if I just break it
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: down for you that way. Are they pivoting to online
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: sales or something? Yeah, so they're saying that um they're
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: intending to progressively transit into specialized retail concepts. So I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: don't really know what that means for now. Will they
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: open up smaller ones with, you know, their best selling products.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And brands, but we'll see. They still expressed interest in
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: remaining in Paragon under a new concept, but they've yet to,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: they've yet to announce what exactly it is. OK, so
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: at least there's like a plan. So maybe it might
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: not be called Metro, but maybe the logo. Maybe they'll
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: change it to something else or freshen it up, which
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: could be a good time to pivot to. Yeah, I mean,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: if you've been around for 6 decades.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: There's one point that you might have to change. Change
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: how you play the game for a sustain for another
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: 6 decades. Yeah, exactly. So all the best guys. I mean, look,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: we always have fond memories, so we're rooting for you. Um, so,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you know, we promised how we're gonna spread out our
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: NDP preview 2 tickets, right?

  Speaker 1: You get the director's cut. You get to see everything.

• 8:35
  Speaker 1: right now. OK, have a great day. Bye-bye, Elijah. OK,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you know me. I'm a huge wrestling fan. That's why
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I'm quite surprised that I share the same birth date
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: as my favorite favorite wrest.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Wrestler of all time, Heartbreak hit Shawn Michaels. I was,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you do you know? I was
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: like the Undertaker. I don't know. You don't like the Undertaker.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised you know him. So, yeah, yeah, but there's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: one other wrestler that I really respect for his career
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: growth and all the behind the scenes that he has done.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: To really elevate WWE, and that is John Cena, who
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: retired earlier in the year from the ring, but he
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: still makes appearances here and there to boost the profile
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: of WWE given how he has mainstream fame now, almost
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: like Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Yeah, but can I ask,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: which was, who was it that paved the way for
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: like wrestlers to become actors? Was it the Rock? Hulk Hogan? Oh,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Hulk Hogan, OK. He, he was really the epitome.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Of, of like do it all going for the best
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of both worlds. Then Dwayne The Rock Johnson followed and
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: elevated it. If I'm not wrong, he became like the top,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the top paid actor at one point in a particular year, yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And then Dave Batista. Oh yes, yes, whom I met actually, yeah,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and he lifted you. He lifted me with 11 arm,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure it's just his forearm. It wasn't
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: even much effort. And now we have John Cena. So
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Netflix and WWE.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: They have a partnership where all the premium live events
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: will get streamed on Netflix. I won't say for free
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: because you're paying for a Netflix account, right? But it's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a lot easier to watch wrestling premium live events now.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I've noticed that that and also they have this series
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: called Unreal where they unveil the curtain. They, they, they
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: breakcafa and they show you all the planning and all
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the happenings that go behind the scenes for a wrestling
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: match or an event. So season one, season two is done.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Season 3, they focused on John Cena's final run with WWE.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: So whether you're a wrestling fan or not, go watch
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: it to understand how the business works. So you mean
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: they actually show you how they plan the show? Yeah,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: so interesting because I thought for the longest time they
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: were like, yeah, this is real wrestling. Exactly. So some
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: old school wrestlers and even some current wrestlers as well,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: they are uncomfortable that so much is being shared about
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: their business. It's like you.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: But then a magic show, then the next day Netflix
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: drops a special about how they did the magic trick,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you know, exactly. There you go. But I feel that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: this show has introduced a whole brand new audience to wrestling,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and they're very smart because this is a new way
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of making even more money. And people who have been
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: like maybe even skeptical or, you know, criticized like you
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: follow wrestling is so staged, blah, blah blah, they might
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: actually want to watch this. It's still real to me,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: damn it. I know, I know.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I, yes, this is my partner friends. That's celebrating his
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: thirty-eighth birthday today.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: 38, but I'm still sometimes 12. That's true. I mean,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: look at muttons, right? That's true. We're really good friends
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: with them. Just joking, just joking. Good times right here
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: on 987, Singapore's number one hit music station. Sonia and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Joakim here with you.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Um, Lucas Graham always, you know, making me feel nostalgic
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and taking walks down memory lane and all that with
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: his music, right? So if you are tuned in today,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: be sure to send us a message 90050987. Please wish
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Joakim a very happy birthday. Our boss already did. Hello Arena.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: She already sent a message to the group chat earlier
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: this morning, do it, do it only if you want to.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: It's of course, I think people just may not realize
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: because they wake up, it's just a normal day for everyone,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: so I'm just reminding them.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Anyway, early on, like I said, this has happened way
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: too many times and it's, it's kind of worrying in
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a way that you never know if it might be you.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a blind box situation. public transport. Yeah,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: so over at Woodlands MRT station, some uncle's phone was
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: blaring loud music. No, but your clothes has got to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: do with the device. A power bank caught fire again.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Like this seems to be happening pretty often, not just
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: in Singapore. Can I ask which? Yeah, so they're going
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to reveal, not going to reveal what brand it was. Anyway, um,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: it caught fire and the staff actually had to go
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: put it out. So I'm just scrolling through some of
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the images, although they're quite blurry because I think people
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: took like, you know, videos and photos from afar, right?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: But it was seen like smoking. It was literally emitting smoke, right?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Um, and, and this was in a, in a commuter's bag,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong. So, another commuter actually alerted the staff.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So they said, you know what, don't worry, um, the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: station has exhaust ventilation system that was activated to clear
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the smoke and everyone else is safe, so don't worry.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: The staff knew exactly what to do, but they did say,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: we like to remind commuters to use only power banks
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that have built-in safety features. OK, not to shade.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: At the stores that we have here in Singapore, but
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: if you go to places like Funan or even Sim
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Lim and if you're buying a power bank from an
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: unknown brand, I don't trust. Like there are only two
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: brands I look out for, and I don't mind paying
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a bit more for the extra assurance, Belkin or Xiaomi. Belkin, yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I have a Belkin one. These two power banks are
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: tried and tested, and you know they are more or
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: less safe as compared to your Pasar malam brands or whatsoever,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and you buy it.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And then things like that happen. Yeah, so I, I
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: think Casify also came, you know, Castify, the very popular phone.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: they've entered the market. Yeah, they've got, they've got, um,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Maxave ones. OK. So it may not be as high
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: performance as your Belkins and the, you know, those brands
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that you usually get where you can charge like multiple times,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: you know, um, but it's good like on the go.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I've only had good experiences with it. And again, another reminder,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: if you're charging your power banks or even your.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: MDs and all that, try your best to not charge
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: it overnight. If you're charging it, be next to it
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: so you're alert in case anything were to happen. Touch wood. Yeah, yeah,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: for sure. So just be safe. When we come back
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: here on the shock circuit though, everyone sit down. Your
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: podcast is on. Why? Why, why, why? OK, let me,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: let's discuss this, Sonia. As a woman here in Singapore,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: are you not outraged at the comments involving the influencer?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Whose, uh, I mean, whose photo got taken without her permission, right? Yeah, OK, yeah,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: inappropriate photo. And look, I'm not gonna defend or attack anyone.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I want to give my personal two cents on this. OK.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad you are here. OK, let's let's break
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: it down in a bit first because I think for
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: some people who may not know what's going on or
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: what the context is, another week, another situation online.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Involving an influencer, but, but, but, but this one will
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: break down the whole story for you. Another situation has
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: broken out on social media. Everyone sit down. Yeah, your
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: podcast is on. Let's go. My favorite show. OK, so
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna break it down for you, and Sonia, you
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: answer me as two different versions of yourself, a media personality, OK,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and a woman here in Singapore. OK, gotcha. OK, you ready? Gotcha. So, uh,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: a social.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Media influencer from Singapore. I think her name is Casey.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I think it's being blasted all over social media now
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: so we can even on some of the news channels. Yeah,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: she shared about how while she was playing pickleball, she
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: realized there was an uncle taking photos of her secretly.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Was it identified that it was her uncle? Yeah, the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: older guy, the video. Oh, OK, OK. So she goes
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to confront the uncle and makes him.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Delete the pictures of his album and the deleted folders
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: as well. I believed that acting a bit sass and
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: he looked like he was zooming in on something. So
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: she shared the video of her confrontation online in a
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: way of hoping to inspire other women here in Singapore
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: going through the same thing, yeah, you know, you know,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: hopefully you find courage through whatever I've done and you confront.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Any perpetrators who might be taking photos of you, but
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the comment section is not on Instagram, on Facebook, there's
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: a Reddit forum now and all that. Some are saying, yeah,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: she wants her 15 minutes of fame. She, she wants
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: her following to grow, but
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: OK, OK, you share your thoughts. I'll I'll share mine
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: in a bit. Yeah. My thoughts, I, I want to
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: hold my thoughts first. OK. How does this make you feel?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: So I, I actually saw some of the pretty atrocious
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: comments that were going out criticizing her body, criticizing the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: kind of content that she puts out and all that.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I, I actually want to say that in no circumstance
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: is it OK for a stranger to take any sort
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: of photos of another stranger, especially since it was pretty inappropriate.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter whether she's a matter whether she's
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: an influencer or celebrity or a regular person. I don't
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: think it should happen regardless. And it's just so sad
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: to see, I mean, the kind of people that are
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: making
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Um, terrible comments on these platforms and forums, right? They
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: are your keyboard warriors, typical keyboard warriors. Again, I hope
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: they don't represent the majority of us here in Singapore,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: because if we were to use the Facebook comments section
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: or Reddit as a way to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: of society, I think we're screwed. You know what, to
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: be honest, um, when news about my wedding went out,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I can't control it, right? Like people write
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: whatever they want to write, right? I saw a couple
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: of comments on Facebook and I just shut it down.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I'm not gonna look.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It was a happy occasion.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: No matter how they twisted it to like make clickbaity
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: sort of headlines just to make people triggered or like
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: just just to rile some comments up, it's beyond my control.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna not look at it. OK, I'm gonna
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: give you my two cents now, see if you agree
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: with me, OK? And I'm gonna quote some examples, people
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that we know. I mean, you look at someone like
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Jade Rassif, OK, OK, for example, who she knows she
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: has what it takes to show off whatever she's worked
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: hard for in terms of her physical appearance, OK.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And she's very open about it. She shares about it
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: on social media. Does that give a random person the
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: right to photograph her randomly or you know in a
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: very creepy way on his or her phone? No, absolutely not,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: because I think you want to be in control of
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: your narrative. You want to be in control of what
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you share on social media. Yeah, never mind if you're
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: sharing bikinis.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and all that, but if someone else were to take
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: a photo of you that's right. Yeah, so I think
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: this could also be the case for an everyday person
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore. Never mind if you're not a social
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: media person. You could be sharing a picture of yourself
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: doing yoga or whatsoever. You are comfortable with that because
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: you are sharing your own narrative. But if someone takes
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: a photo of you without your knowledge and it's a,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you know, creepy photo.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: And all that, it will make you uncomfortable, 100%. And
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you know what, have you ever tried to cross Jade Rasi?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: She will catch you in 2 seconds. Yeah, by the way,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: she will call you out and she will put your
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: face on her social media. I love her. I love her.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: We are using you as an example because we know
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you are confident enough to handle this. Yeah, yeah, I
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: love her. And, and, OK, we, we really need to
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: stop the comment. What was she wearing? Yeah, yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Dude, she was playing pickleball. She was wearing shorts. What
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: were you wear? What were you wearing pants and long blazers. No, right?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: But even, even so, yeah, a woman wearing a long
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: pants or a blazer will somehow still get weird things
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: said about her. You see, here's the unfortunate truth about,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you know, the, the keyboard warriors and social media platforms, OK.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Nothing we do is ever right. It doesn't matter whether
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: you're a celebrity, or influencer or a normal person. Look
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: at how viral that story went about the lady who
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: was in a, in a private hire car, and then
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: she said that the driver propositioned her with something inappropriate.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that one? It was just like last week.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: The comments are not in also, man. People are like,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: like that also can, ah, the, the, the driver blind,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you know, that kind of stuff. I'm like, guys, you're
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: missing the point. The point is, it's not OK for
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: you to make a total stranger or just anyone here
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: in Singapore around the world uncomfortable. On the other side
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: of the coin, I know the online universe here in
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Singapore feels a certain way towards influencers. Yes, some influencers
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: don't give the industry a good name. We know and
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: we acknowledge it. We know some names as well.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: We won't say live on air, but be discerning. Yeah,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: there are some situations that call for those kind of
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: comments and some that don't, and this isn't it. Yeah,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: there we go. But was there a conclusion about whether,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know they made the guy delete all
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the photos. Yeah, yeah, I mean they didn't take any
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: other action to read Casey's post, I think at the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: last part, she says, I should have called the police
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: but they didn't she didn't call. Just made him delete
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the pictures. That's about it. Well, he's not identified, I'm
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: assuming at this point, but
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Well, to, to be very honest, this is worthy of
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: a report. I feel it is worthy of a report.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: So the next thing I want to tackle this. If,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: for example, this happens to you, it could be a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: man as well, you know, if I call the police,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: can the police actually help? Is it a civil case
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: or is this not an offense because, OK, here's the thing,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: he was taking photos, he zoomed in photos of her posterior, right,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and her, her shorts and like in a, in a
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: very creepy way.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: What makes you think he's not doing this with other
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: strangers and other girls out there? You know, he could
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: have taken way worse photos. This is an open call
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: to our friends from SPF. How does this work? If
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: anyone from the PR or marketing team is listening, I
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: would like to invite someone to our show to explain
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: what we can and cannot do when faced with a
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: situation like this. Yeah, yeah, that would be good to know, right? Anyway,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: their social media, admin very active, so maybe they might
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: be tuning in. Come on guys.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: And after the World Cup final, you want to stop
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: playing this song, is it? No, no, no, no, no, OK. Respectfully, Shakira.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. So I was going
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: to address that actually. Um, funny enough, you mentioned it
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: because her performance, her live performance went absolutely viral because
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: she looks so good.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Good as well, right? Can I just share that Shakira
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: is 49 years old. Insane. So it was interesting because
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I saw a couple of videos, especially this one particular
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: one that went viral. I think it was a, it's
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: a doctor from the US, an Asian-American doctor that does aesthetics, OK.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And she actually said, OK, here's the reason why Shakira
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: still looks so good and looks like herself, which means
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: her doctor has been doing the right things, OK? So
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: she's been doing like more maintenance, more than, you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: putting fillers, Botox, like plastic surgery and all that, because
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: those things, you're going to start seeing them like as.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: As you get older, right? And I think Hollywood has
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: an issue right now because a lot of their iconic
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: superstars are aging, and they started to get um procedures done, right?
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: But as a result, they're saying that there's a lack
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: of expression and emotion on a lot of screens now
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: in a lot of movies, which is true. If you
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: go and look at it, it's, it's, it's, it's true.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: And in the latest, um, that horror, horror movie called Obsession,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I think there's a rating to it, so not encouraging
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: you to watch it, but, um, they did say that,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: you know, because the main actress, she did not have
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: any work done. Her expressions were what reeled you in. So, um,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: basically what the doctor is saying is that Shakira has
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: done it right. She looks the same.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Since she was what, in her 30s all the way
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: till she's pushing 50 right now, and, and she still
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: looks gorgeous and beautiful and embracing a little bit of
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: wrinkles and age, but she still looks perfect. And shout
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: out to Shakira for featuring the ghetto kids during the
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: halftime show. The the dancing was amazing, but Shakira, it's expected.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Well done to her. I know, I know. So what
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: was
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: be up to next? I mean, who was that, that
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: footballer that was married to her and then he choked?
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Gerard PK PK, dude, fumbled, man. jinx. You know, um,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: this is Joakim's birthday today, and he, he's just stretching
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: right now, cracking, cracking his back, cracking your neck.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I, I mean, look, uh, coming to work or working
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: during our birthdays is not that uncommon in our industry.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: It does happen. And to be honest with you, I'm
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: at that phase of life now where for me birthdays
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: have now become just another day.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I always say that, but then when I wake up
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: in the morning and I see a slew of texts
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: coming in from people that I love, sending me wishes,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, OK lah, it's nice to be loved
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: on a day like this. But yeah, in terms of
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: work and how I see it, it's another day. I'd
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: rather celebrate a milestone. So for example, if I were
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to buy a house in the future, I'll definitely take
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: a wife, a wife.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, OK, when Jeremy and I got engaged, we
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: went out. Yeah, you took us out. Yeah, exactly, um,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: last year, well, I'm gonna have birthday dinner with you
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: when I come back from my work trip. So that's happening, um,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: although I was quite surprised you said let's do it
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: after you're back because I'm guessing leading up to it,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: you know, you have your dinner with your mom.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Family, and it will be a little bit busy and
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I realized I have work today as well after our show. OK, OK, OK.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: So there's no point taking leave. Yeah, yeah, if, if
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I take leave and I'm still in Singapore, right, rest
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: assured I'm taking leave to sleep in. Yeah, there you go.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And because I guess your birthday falls on a Wednesday,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a random.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in the middle of the week, neither here nor there,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: you're right. Um, but both of us have had experience
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: working through our birthdays before, like 100%, especially in our industry, right? Um,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the world is not going to stop, or production is
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: not going to stop just because it's your birthday. Exactly. Yeah,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: it still spins. So we want to open up the
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: phone lines right now, 669-11987. Do you also find yourself
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: working through your birthday, or are you very particular like, OK.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: It's my day. I'm definitely gonna make time. I'm gonna
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: take off in advance and I'm gonna do it. I
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: think most companies do have a birthday leave now, I think. Yeah,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: if your birthday is on a Friday for you. Fantastic.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: 669-11987 to call us or WhatsApp us at 90050987. If
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: we do like your answer, what's coming your way? A
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: very nice dining experience for two worth over $300.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Nice. Racine. Yeah, that with the French accent Racine. Yes,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: very good. You can live in France now over at
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Sophieel Singapore City Center. Yeah, I believe they're paying um
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of attention to their traits cuisine. So you
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: can imagine like your nonya laksa, things like that that
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: are available. So I'm very excited for you to try it.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Give us a call 669-11987. Do you find yourself also
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: working through your birthdays, or does it mean enough for
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: you to like, OK, I want to take leave. This
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: is my day. I'm going to chill.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Relax and spend it with my loved ones. Let us
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: know right now. People in the media industry will understand
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: how this feels, like I mentioned, right? And I'm sure
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: there are some other industries that also are very similar. Like,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter whether it's your birthday, your wedding anniversary,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: or what, you will still work, OK? So the question is,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: do you feel that way, like you're OK with working
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: on your birthday, or are you the kind that, OK,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: on my birthday, I definitely have to take off. I,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do anything. I just want to do
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the things that I like. I'm not gonna work. I'm
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: totally fine with working on my birthday, you know.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but, but if my birthday is on a
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Friday or a Monday, you are definitely taking the day
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: just to sleep. It's true, you know what I mean,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: because Wednesday, like we mentioned earlier, is a very random
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere kind of, it's like having
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a public holiday in the middle of the week. Yeah,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: which is terrible. Yeah, OK, let's go to our messages
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: first to find out what you're saying. So I want
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to say good morning to Vanessa on WhatsApp. I will
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: not work on my birthday because if I get scolded
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: at work, I will get scolded the whole year.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: My birthday date for me should be a peaceful and
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: happy day. I agree. I agree. Yeah. One more also
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: coming in from Jay, who remembers the nickname you gave me, Sonia. Krojo.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Krojo.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've given him many nicknames, so it's, it's
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: which one sticks the most? stop it, man. Hey, Sojo,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: been working for 16 years now. I would never work
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: on my birthday. I will always take leave and fly
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: to Bangkok for a solo trip. Unfortunately this year was different.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: As I had a job change and it was a
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: horrid birthday I had at work. Oh no, did you have,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: are you still in that same job? I'm curious. And
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: one more from David. Happy birthday. Thank you so much, David.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Just like both of you, I work on my birthday.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I have learned that birthdays come once a year, but deadlines.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Show up every single day. Responsibilities never take a break.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I could take leave, but tomorrow's workload will just throw
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: me a happy belated birthday present. So I celebrate the
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: adult way by showing up to work, convince myself every
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: meeting is actually a surprise birthday party, and I hope
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: someone remembered the cake.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: So I hope, I hope it happened for him over
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the past few years. That's for sure. OK, when we
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: come back, we've got some callers hanging on the line.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: We still have time for you to send your messages
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: in and give us a call 669-11987. Would you work
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: on your birthday or is it a strict no for you?
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Talking about whether you would work through your birthday or
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: it is a must for you to take off and just,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: you know, tend to your mental health and uh spend
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: time with your loved ones. Mental health on your birthday. Yeah,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Give yourself a mental health break from work and stuff
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: on your birthday. Say hello to Amir. Morning, Sonia and Joki.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I generally work on my birthday because I want people
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: in the office to wish me. On a more serious note,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I generally enjoy doing what I do and I wouldn't
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: mind spending my time with some of the people who
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: keep me going at work and I think my friends
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: would know that I wouldn't have it any other way too.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Love that. It's really sweet. I understand how Amir feels. Yeah,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: just that when you come to the office, it's only me. Great.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Please keep it that way. Nobody else. I don't need
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: anybody else. This early in the morning, there ain't nobody here. Yeah,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: keep it that way, please. If it's anybody take leave.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Take one week leave.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Hate to break it to you, but, uh, our bosses
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: are definitely tuning in. It's OK. Uh, one more coming
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: in from Cindy. Happy birthday, Joakim. Interestingly and fortunately, I
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: never had to work on my birthday because I was
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: born on National Day. Oh wow, love that. So it
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: is always a public holiday for me, which many of
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: my friends envy. So this year she gets Sunday and
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Monday off. Hilarious. Cindy, well done. Cindy, thank you so
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: much for your service. You see, we have public holiday
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: because of you.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, she's 10 years younger than Singapore. I see. Well,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: you know what, um, the same could be said about
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: people who are born on the 1st of January, for example.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: New Year's Day, New Year's Day, always a holiday, but
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know whether sometimes people don't want it to coincide.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: There's so much celebration. It's honestly, for my birthday on
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the 28th, there's already
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: It coincides with so much festivities during that month. Can
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I ask, do you know anyone who born on February, Feb,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: the leap day. No, I don't, I don't know. Do you? No,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I don't, their age would be a very interesting, they
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: have a very interesting age right now. It's interesting. Yeah,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: it's always count. Gary is on the line. Gary, what
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: about
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: you? Definitely, I had a mentor who told me that
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Uh, if you are successful, every day is your birthday.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, that's a good one. You're right. Every day
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: is a celebration. Yeah. What do you do for a living, Gary?
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Self-employed, lah. Yeah, so I do like my own business,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: e-commerce business, that kind of. So every day is like firefighting,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: lah, honestly. It's like hustling every single day.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, every day, right? Checking email, looking through, getting sales
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: and marketing, that kind of thing, right? So I understand, uh.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: that if it takes off, definitely try to rest and recover,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: yeah, sure. Well, OK, then in that case, let's just
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: say it is your birthday as well. Then what would
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: you do? Like, would you still do a mini celebration,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: like just a dinner or like with your special ones? Um,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: honestly, I don't. I always tell my family and my wife, right, um,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: like thank you guys for the wishes, and I'm also
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: happy like joking that receiving that.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Those are messages. Happy birthday messages clearly then, um, but, um,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I will not want them to like really surprise me.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: But although some of them sometimes they still surprise me,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: but maybe my love language is that I really appreciate
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: that as long as they wish me happy birthday, a
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: word of affirmation, I'm OK already.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: A simple man, I love it. 26 sparkle right here
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: on 987.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: And fingers crossed, we might just have them in our
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: studio very soon. Just giving you a spoiler of what
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: happened the previous two weeks, right? So you know the
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: chorus goes, come on, Sparkle, sparkle when the P5 kids
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: scream sparkle back to you or goosebumps's great. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Well done, Gareth and Drew. You know, if there's one
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: thing we know Gareth and Drew, they got, they got
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: voices on them, right? They can't sing.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: For sure. So I'm hoping it happens here in the studio.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: But anyway, we're back to our topic of the day
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: since it's Joakim's birthday and he's working through it. Um
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I know I keep saying that you make it sound
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: like I'm giving the ultimate sacrifice. No, I mean, OK,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: to you and I, it is pretty normal because of
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: our industry and the work that we do and in
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: certain industries as well. I know people work through their
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: birthdays for sure, but for some of my friends, there
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: ain't no way they're going to work on their birthday.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: They will.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Reject their leave like a month in advance. It also
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: shows how much I love doing what I do and
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: who I'm doing it. Think about it. Nice twist there.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: We come to play, but play seriously in work when
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: work doesn't feel like work. Yes, there you go. OK.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I want to say good morning to Maddy. Morning, Joe.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday. Thank you so much, Maddy. I always try
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: to take leave on my birthday because I want to
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: just have some time with my husband, especially.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Now with our kids, we also take the time to
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: say thank you to my mom for giving birth to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: me on this day. Without her going through all that
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: pain that day, I won't be here. Oh, I love that,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: so sweet. Yeah, I remember my birth giver too. My
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: mom wanted to say good morning to Christy, who says,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Morning soldier. I'm already in my late 50s. When younger,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I always take leave for my birthday. I would treat
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: myself to a nice meal, facial or spa to pamper myself.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: After I became a mom, I started to appreciate my
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: mom more and will make sure I treat her and
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: give her flowers on that day. My birthday is her
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Labor Day. Now my mom is no longer with me,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: so our work is just another day. Oh, thank you
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: so much. And one coming in from a person who
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: wants to stay anonymous. Lucky you saw that. Yeah. Tomorrow
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: is my birthday and I'm turning 37. Yeah.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday in advance. And yes, I'll be taking leave.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I usually plan a one week holiday trip. However, due
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: to a very tight deadline, I'm only allowed to take
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the day off and I'll be spending my day to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: do housework and spend time with my little son. Please
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: don't say my name because my colleagues are in the
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: office and we blast 987 during our working hours. They
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: will know it's me. They will still know it's you.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I feel, I feel. Anyway, thank you for your messages.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: When we come back, we've got Ashraf hanging on the
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: line and more of your messages too. I'm sure half
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: of them are wishing you happy birthday and the other
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: are answering the question, would you work through your birthday? Yeah,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: or are you the sort that you must take leave
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: because you just don't want, you just don't want to
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: deal with work on your actual day? We've got some
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: very sweet messages coming in, not directed towards me, but
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the stories that you share here on 987. Again, thank
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: you very much every morning.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: You text in. We really appreciate you just being open
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: and vulnerable with us here on the show. Wanna say
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: hi to Jacqueline.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Hey Sojo, as I have a special needs son, every
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: year on his birthday, which is tomorrow, 23rd of July, hey,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: my boss will be the one to remind me to
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: take leave instead of me applying it myself. My boss
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: knows I may be busy with sales for my clients,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: and he's scared that I'll forget to take leave. So
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: he will actually remind me almost every day, every year.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: But for myself, I seldom take leave as I have
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: a very busy sales job daily. I remember I last
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: took leave in January.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: This year. After that, it will only be MC. Tomorrow
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I'll be on leave as my mom, as my boss
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: told me to go take it and go celebrate with
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: my son. I'm so blessed with this company I'm working with.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: That's a great manager right there. Very sweet. Yeah, OK.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Any other messages? One more coming in from, I don't
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: have a username, but your picture is a very nice
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: baby freeze. Hey guys, every year during my birthday, I'll
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: always go to work because that's the only time when
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: people actually wish me happy birthday. OK.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: And one more coming in from Gabriel. Hi, Joakim. Happy birthday, bro.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: May all your wishes come true, and I hope your
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: beloved Manchester United will do better this coming season. But
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: they've been doing well. They can be better, better. OK.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Yours truly, you'll never walk alone, Liverpool fan.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: So you don't know whether that is a genuine. Just kidding.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Asraf is on the line right now. What about you?
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I got married Ida's celebrate my birthday. So I would
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: definitely take my birthday nowadays, yeah.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: What is a typical birthday like for you guys? What
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: would you do? Oh, my wife would be the one
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: and 2 and she will book me. Happy birthday. Hey, thanks.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: If your birthday happens on a random Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: what happens then? I will take leave. I will take.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: He said, he said proudly. I will take MC. OK,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: last few messages before we wrap it up here. Thank
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: you for an overwhelming response here today.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Um, the question being, would you work on your birthday
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: or would you make sure, yes, I'm definitely taking leave.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: There is no way I'm going to the office. Wanna
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: say hello toy planning.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Hey Sojo, if my birthday falls on a weekday, I'll
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: take a half day leave. I'm OK treating myself to
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: a nice hairdo at the salon. Since my birthday is
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: this Saturday, I get the whole day to myself, shopping
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: and a good break. Can't wait. Nice. There you go.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: There you go. And one final text coming in from Candice.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Candice says, Hey, Joakim and Sonia, I always make it
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: a point to take leave because I'm not giving work
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: a chance to spoil my.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: This is the day to focus on myself and the
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: important people in my life, AKA my parents and husband.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: So I make it a point to spend time with them. Also,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: my birthday is coming up this Friday. Long weekend for me, yay!
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Taking my parents out for a bowling session, so cute,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: followed by my husband and I checking out the local
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: stand-up comedy scene in the evening. Happy birthday, Joki. Dude,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: that sounds like a perfect weekend coming up. Happy birthday
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: in advance. A lot of Leo's, um.

  Speaker 1: Leo, right? I mean now would be fully Leo because
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: you're on the cast. I'm a Leo by then at
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: the end of the week, they're definitely full Leo. But
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: like Miley Cyrus, what does it mean? What does it mean? OK, OK.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I can tell you what it means. Apparently Mercury in
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: retrograde now, no nonsense. When is it not in retrograde? Yeah, exactly.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: It's a poor excuse for human behavior. OK, OK, thank
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: you very much. Can we give the prize? Can you
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: not be grumpy on your birthday? No, when you talk
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: about astrology, I will get grumpy lah. But can we
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: give the prize now? Can I say the name? And
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: it goes to. Congratulations.

  Speaker 1: of how much her music has grown.

• 40:54
  Speaker 1: used to do a lot more collaborations with like party
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: type music, DJs and all that. Again, I say this,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if her album wins Album

• 41:07
  Speaker 1: be up against maybe Rosalia for the Luxe album and

• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Pick the gorillas for the mountain. And in the world

  Speaker 1: easy listening, check out this guy called Masego, M A
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: S E G O. Listen to his most recent album,

• 42:22
  Speaker 1: us and give us your best memory of any NDP
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: or Singapore so far. Yeah, because if people, if you
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: are tuning in, if you've never attended NDP, because I
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: know some people who have never attended it except for
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: the time that they go for the preview in Primary 5,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: which could have been like eons ago.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: So give us a call 669-11987. Let us know. It
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: could be a memory of Singapore, it could be a
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: memory of NDP. It doesn't matter as long as it's
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: related to our country. Here we go. Hunting for our
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: next winner for those NDP preview two tickets. OK, I
• 42:50

• 43:21
  Speaker 1: but this time around it's something very special. So we
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: are really excited. I cannot wait to hear how Jasmine
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: does like an acoustic or a stripped down version of.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: OK. Yeah, it'll be interesting. And she has performed here
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: in our studio before. Many times. Exactly. OK, we're gonna
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: head to the phone lines. Easy question for you here today.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Do you have a specific favorite memory of any NDP
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: or of Singapore in general? So we're gonna head to
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: the phone lines. Hello. Hi.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Sorry, what's your name again? I bet you she's calling
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: from calling from work. What's your name again? Tell us. OK,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: we whisper. Why are you whispering? Where are you? What
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: do you do for work? I'm at work because the
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: office is too quiet.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: It's OK. You got to be loud and proud about this.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Tell us what's your favorite memory of Singapore or any
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: NDP that you've attended. I used to perform for NDP.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of memories being a performer. I, I
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: love the energy of being the performance there. And so
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: now I want to be the audience to watch the show. Oh,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: you know what's it.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: To her. There you go. A pair of preview two
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: tickets coming your way for the August 1st show. So
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: yesterday we spoke about Avengers Doomsday and the latest trailer
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: that was dropped. Oh goosebumps that we got actually. Loads
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: of my favorite YouTube channels are breaking down the trailer,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: giving us Easter eggs and all that. But knowing Marvel, yeah,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: the trailers, right?
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: It's not 100% accurate. You will see something different in
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: the movie, OK, but I think as of yesterday night
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Singapore time, they dropped the latest Spider-Man trailer. We'll touch
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: on that in just a bit here on the shock circuit.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Literally nonstop hits from this entire week. Their admins busy
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: at work, man. Yeah, OK, so Spider-Man.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: They've just released a brand new trailer for Spider-Man Brand
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: New Day, and this one's a bit touching. It might
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: get you in all the fields. I'm gonna cry for
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: sure because it chronicles Peter Parker's journey as Peter Parker
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: in Spider-Man, and then they also show how everyone forgets
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: who Peter Parker is, right? And then he tries to
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: reconnect with Mary Jane, or rather MJ, not Mary Jane, MJ,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: who's played by Zendaya, and yeah, if I make it go, please,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: please remember him. Remember.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, OK, I, I wonder how that's gonna
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: translate on screen. I'm very curious. And look, there are
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: lots of things about the Spider-Man Brand New Day movie
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: that we will only find out in the movie itself.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: I think this one they are keeping lots of surprises
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: under wraps. I'm very curious how Tom Holland and Zendaya
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: function as a couple because
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: This isn't the only movie that they're working together on
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: or have worked together with, right? Were they in Odyssey? Yes,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: they were in Odyssey together. And I don't think that's
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: the only one. There are other shows that they start
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: in the same, they're in the same cast. So it's
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: like you're always around each other, which is super cool,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: and they're still so sweet and loving. I'm like, wow,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: this one really goes, man. Tom and Zendaya.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Both of you are our last hope. You've given us hope, man.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: You've given the world, yeah. So I think on twenty-ninth
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: of July, I'm going for the Spider-Man Brand New Day premiere. Oh,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: you are to watch the movie. Yeah, because when it
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: comes to a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, I want to
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: make sure I watch it first so that it won't
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: get spoiled for me on TikTok or whatsoever by me.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: And we have a bad memory of Spider-Man together, yeah,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: of me spoiling it for Joe because I watched it
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: before him. Yeah. Anyway, what's in the past in the
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: past la? Don't dig up the skeletons from the closet.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: What a, what a hilarious fun show. We've been just
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: laughing and cackling, and I noticed my mom texted you.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: So sweet. She also forwarded me the same picture, that's
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: the same wish that she sent you. She said, I
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: sent Joakim this he he nice or not.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: To which it's a picture of you running on a
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: football field. Yeah, that was in 2018 when a Singapore
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: celebrity on the Bollywood celebrity team. Is that Lionel behind
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: you in that picture? As in Lionel Lewis? Yeah, it
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: looks like him. He's on the same team. And, and
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: my mom actually photoshopped or rather she pasted a picture
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: of Maxi running next to you.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I like my mother, right, I tell you, she, every
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: morning she'll give me something new and because it's your
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: special day, you know what, she's she's our mom now.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: She's our, that's for sure. Yes, that's for sure. And
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Jeremy also sent you a message earlier this morning. What
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: did he say?
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Honestly, right, you know, I sent the photo link of my, uh,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: evening photos from the wedding out to my friends, and
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: so you would know her, Georgina Cheng, our mutual friend
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: and mentor from the past. She texted me back. Can I,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: can I read out what she said? She said, OK,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: and maybe she will, she will tell you the same
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: thing too. OK. Let me just scroll back, let me
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: just scroll back. OK.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: She goes, um, wow, your photos look so great. Even
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: the crying ones look nice, but, it actually looks like
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Joakim's wedding.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Except that he looks like the bride. Why is he
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: always hanging out with your parents?
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Literally she said that in the text.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Aiyo burst out laughing. I really burst out. It's a
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: nice picture of your mom and dad with me son
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: never had.
