  Speaker 1: better
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: be here. Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And a few minutes ago you might have heard Joakim
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: pant and say like, yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm here thankfully.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Can you please give some context because
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: can I just say I'm very happy the World Cup
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: only happens once every 4 years.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Dude, I don't, as a, as a partner, a work
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: partner in your life, um, I can't imagine if like
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: a real partner, like a real life girlfriend or something
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: that you eventually did, how will she deal with this
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: time zone?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: She'll be there with me la.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: OK, if you find a.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Girl that loves
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: football.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, so I'm fresh from Chimes fresh from England against Argentina.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: OK, not spelling too though, but,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I'm
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: kidding, I'm kidding. Just one
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: pint of Guinness.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And uh early on when we came into the studio, right,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I was just saying that like, didn't really say much. He,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: he wasn't really expressing much from
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: The game that he supposedly watched last night, so you
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: barely slept. And uh so I logged on, I googled
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it and I realized why you weren't saying anything.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Can I
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: say something? You are Oracle Sonia Chew. OK,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I only started, well, only for this round lah. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't right. Yesterday
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: during sports news at 8 a.m. I remember saying this
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Sonia Chew come for fun.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Take the score and who will win. You said Argentina 2-1.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: True enough.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It's it's 2-1.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Argentina 2, England 1. Wow,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I'm shocked because so far if you followed our video
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: where I said I told you my predictions, right, um,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in the beginning, everything was kind of like the opposite
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and then I guess now it's slowly aligning.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Spain against Argentina, but can I walk you through everything?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I got to Chimes at about maybe say 1:45 a.m.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: so early
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it was packed. Oh, people wanted a good seat.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: The
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: lawn
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: was packed. If you're gonna go for the finals or
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the third place game, go early.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Really. I mean, this explains why the roads were emptier
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: than usual early this morning. I think.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You want to bet how many people paying MC today. Yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: so my girlfriend and I decided to go to the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: bar downstairs. They have minimum spend
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of what, like 80
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: dollars per person.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: $80 per person. OK. One beer. There is no happy hour.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So one beer is what,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: like 4 drinks in total per person. Yeah, what? No, no, yeah,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: it's a bit too much if you ask
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: me.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: So was the bar emptier or no,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: was packed downstairs as well just did it because this
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: was a big game and when England scored first, everybody went, wow,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: we could actually make the final and I was happy.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And then when I saw the coach Thomas Tuchel put
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: in more defenders and they looked like they were defending,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: no longer attacking, just inviting Argentina to attack and attack
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and attack.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Had a bad feeling and true enough, the 84th and
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: 90 + 1 on injury time, Argentina scored twice in
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a matter of seven minutes. So congrats to them. Lionel
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Messi assisting both goals.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, nice. Yeah. Do you get some award for
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that or
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: no? I mean, if he maintains the top scorer, the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: assists will help him. So for example, if he and
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Kylian Mbappe are tied.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Depending on who has more assists, Messi might win the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Golden Boot.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: So Golden Boot is just for the top scorer World
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Cup for the World Cup. OK, OK, now I get it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it's Lamin Yamal against Lionel Messi in the final. Let's
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: see what happens. So,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: uh, sorry, this dude, he's like a really big person
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: he's really famous too, right? He's 19. I've heard his
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: name many times. He is
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: very popular because he's to to be the future of
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: football and he's so talented.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: OK, OK. Alright. Well, thanks for the updates.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Just you want to go back to nap or what
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: for the next 5 minutes? I'm assuming you got no sleep.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Go home, manifest this tomorrow before we hit the weekend.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I'll get you to predict
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the final.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: OK, so just last week, you might have been laughing
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: along with us or laughing at me for suspecting that
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I might have bought a fake Stanley Cup. OK. When
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I told Joakim the story, he just laughed. He was like, dude,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: this sounds exactly like something you would do.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I mean,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: if I were
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: The moment I suspect something, I would address it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, so what happened was it triggered off my
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: suspicions when I ran into one of our bosses actually
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that had the same cup, but it looks different, like
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: kind of the colorway is different. So then, OK, I,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I also felt like there was something strange about like
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the smell of the cup because I washed it like
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: every day.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Um, but then, you know, some people were saying, oh,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: could it be like the soap that you're using in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the office or something?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Can I ask, have you bought a new one already?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: haven't, and here's why. So ever since we opened up
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: phone lines and we talked about it, there was an
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: ex-Sanley Cup distributor that actually called us, right? And then
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: he said, OK, identify using these things like, OK, do
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you see this? Do you see that? Like what do
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you observe? He actually it sounds like it's real.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: It's just a defective one that could be, could be
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a defective unit. That's why you got it at like what,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: $20 off or something on an e-commerce, right? Um, just
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, I received a message from, um,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the agency representing Stanley themselves. Apparently, Stanley Cup's opening a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: physical store here in Singapore in Jewel this week, and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: they invited me to go because they heard the entire thing.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: It was hilarious. I just burst out laughing.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: In that
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: case, if you're going, can you one cup
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: for
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: me
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: one more cup for you. I don't know, like you
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and your cups you keep on replacing them, losing them,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: dropping them. No, no,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: no, no, no. If you get me the Stanley Cup,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I'll put it in my
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: locker.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: OK, OK, OK, yeah, you do that. So I'll update
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you on what happens if I can make it for,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: for their opening event because it was, it all happened
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: so fast.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: They should make you
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the ambassador of Stanley Cup. Yeah,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: there you go. Honestly, just something to laugh at and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe hopefully if we can figure something out with them,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: maybe I can give some cups to you too.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Hi,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I'm Stanley Cup, don't buy a fake one.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Stop. That doesn't even sound like a good ad. We'd
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: love to open up phone lines right now for your
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: dedications and your requests.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe you are equally heartbroken as I am for
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: England or maybe you're celebrating. Yes,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: for Argentina, if you're a Spain fan as well.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I think in a span of 50 minutes, you caught
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: me napping in the studio, what, 3 times
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: already? Yeah, maybe 5 actually.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And thanks for posting that video on TikTok 987. You know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: any chance to catch each other at our worst, you
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, that's entertainment.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: 669-11987. Call us, let us know which school you're from
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and request for your favorite song to play here on
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the circuit. Yeah,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: we'd love
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to get that for you.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: So in case you missed it, well, I'm from.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Chimes over at the City Hall area. I'm in the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: studio struggling to stay awake, but England against Argentina, England 1,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Argentina 2 at full time. That means on Sunday morning,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: 5 a.m. the third-place playoff between France and England will happen.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And then Monday morning, 3 a.m., 20th of July, it's
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Spain against Argentina.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Argentina, who's gonna win it? I think it's really up
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: in the air, this one.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You think it's gonna be really tight? Yeah,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: because Spain are the best team so far in the
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: World Cup. They've not conceded at
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: all.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Conceded means like letting
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: a goal. So they always win by a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: clean sheet. They always score, but they've never allowed someone
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to score. Is that what you mean?
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: They've not conceded yet. And for Argentina, I mean.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: The fighting spirit and the one to retain being world
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: champions for the first time ever back to back. Let's
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: see if it happens. And Lionel Messi, if he starts
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the final, he'll be the second of two players to
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: only to play all, uh, three World Cup finals in
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: his lifetime, 2014, 2022, and
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: 2026.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: And he's not even 40, right? Or he's, he's pushing 40.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: He's 39 this year.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Great, great career, man. OK, we're heading to phone lines
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: before you get to school. Good morning. Who's this? Hi. Hi,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: what's your name?
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Uh, Natalie
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and Nathan. Hey, Natalie and Nathan, which school are you from?
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: What's amazing about Chong Cheng Primary Natalie and Nathan?
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: OK. You're friends. OK, so speaking of friends, what song
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: would you like to dedicate to them this morning? Wakawaka,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: it's time for Africa.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: From 2010, I think we still have it in our system,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the World Cup back then.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: We
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: do actually. OK, you know what? Just for laughs, why not?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Let's play it. Alright. That's coming up for you next.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Have a great day at school, guys. So like I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: said earlier, I, I just take you down some memories
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: when it comes to your teenage life and spending time
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: at chalets. Do you still remember
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Wow, I remember to always tell a lie to my mom.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Oh why some sports camp, sports camp, but
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: actually chalet, right? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, chalet with
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: your friends. I mean, technically I'm not wrong. It was
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: like a track and field gathering, OK, but chalet, there
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: So what, what was it about it she didn't let
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you go? Like why, why didn't she let you go?
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: You know, teenagers in a house together. Oh,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: but it was honestly it was pretty fun. Like we
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: did like barbecue, you know, we had drinks and everything,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and it was like.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Because none of us have our own house, right? Like
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: it's either you go to a friend's house to celebrate,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know, birthday or whatever, um, but of course
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you have your family there, or you rent a chalet.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: No,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: no, I, um, oh, I only started going to chalets
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: when I was in poly, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah, very different,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: very different. I don't think I had any chalet stays
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: as when I was in secondary school actually. Did your
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: parents disallow it? No, um, we just didn't do it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I think because I had a friend who she, she
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: lives in a pretty big house. So she was the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: one that hosted the sleepovers and the chalet. Yes, yeah,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and she has a very, she has very cool parents.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Her mom was the one that was like, oh, you know, um,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I'd rather you guys do a sleepover here. She prepared
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: like snacks and food for us. We had movie nights
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and all that. It's very cute.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: So she could keep an eye on
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: all of you.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but she was very cool. She never imposed. Anyway,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: so speaking of chalets, I'm sure you would know of
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: some over in the Changi area.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: That when I look at these photos, actually, low-key, I,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I used to think they look quite creepy, these chalets
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: over in Changi. Oh, OK,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: the ones near the old Changi Hospital. It's, I,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I would say sort of, but um this is more
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: along Jalan Loyang Basar, which actually I lived near Loy
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Yang a long time ago. So yes, you're not wrong,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it is very near, you know, Changi, Old Changi Hospital and.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Changi Prison, right? Yeah, so this has been around for
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a very long time. It was a former state-owned holiday
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: chalet along that stretch. Then it also previously served as
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a temporary workers' dormitory, so it had a few purposes.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: It has officially been given a second lease of life.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Someone is taking over. It's about 40 years old now.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It underwent a 10.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Month restoration and renovation to now become the Kollywood Resort Changi.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: This is Singapore's first resort style co-living destination. If you're
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: familiar with the brand Kollywood, I don't know if you've
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: seen it before, they have some co-living spaces already across Singapore.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I have to say it looks really good. It spans
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: across like 380 1000 square feet of.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: land area. It has living and commercial spaces. It's got
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a massive pool. They've done it up so nicely. Um,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the exterior is colorful, beautiful. The inside is all brand
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: new and it looks like they went for this quite
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: minimalist look on the inside, very nice, very chill-looking resort life.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: There's an adult's pool, children's pool, jacuzzi, fully equipped gym.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And a sports court
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: And if you need your groceries or drinks, downtown right there,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: not too
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: far, yeah. So a lot of sustainability opportunities there too.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: So it's a sprawling like garden looking co-living community. I, I,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I like it. It's given them a new lease of
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: life because when I look back at those old pictures
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: of the Chinese.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: L, right? Give me a bit of goosebumps. I used
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to remember how creepy it was to walk, like, walk
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: there at night.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Don't be surprised. Your team bonding retreat could be at
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: this place.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Could be, it could be, and they have the space
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: for it too. So, um, maybe suggestions for 987. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: don't know what will happen if we all had to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: stay there.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I go missing, just find me over
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: at Downtown East.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Wow, wow, wet of all places. We've been there before.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I wonder whether there'll be a part two since the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: first one was so wildly successful. They might just do
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a part two. We never know.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Brad Pitt comes back again, is it Sonny Hayes? You know,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that, that show did, I mean, that movie did unbelievably well, right?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: And I think he was really, um, he was really
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: praised for his acting.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Can I say?
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed about the F1 movie aside from the very
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: nice camera angles and all that, the romance, not just that,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: but it was all the actual Formula One drivers on
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the red carpet when the reporters asked them, oh, so
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: what are your thoughts about the movie? All of them
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: avoided the question.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, OK, look, I understand that from
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: From that point of view. For example, if someone were
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to make a behind the scenes movie of us as
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: radio DJs, right? I'm sure the radio DJs will be
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: very critical of it. If you made like Wolf of
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Wall Street, for example, how the finance world is portrayed.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: The people in the finance world will be very critical
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of it. It's the same thing. So it's very normal
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: for them to have hyper-criticism.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Fair
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: enough. I think if Bohn directed our behind the scenes thing,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: it might do well.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Why? Because very artistic, is it?
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, let's see who, which other director
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Jack Neo. As Jack Neo do for us, I
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: think that one.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Let's see how it goes. I think
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: it'll be very entertaining. I'm not gonna lie, it'll be
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: super entertaining, and he's been here to this studio before.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: That
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: means you'll see Tosh Rock, Noah Yap as radio DJs.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Joan
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: site. Yes, I can't, I can't help them here.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Anyway, um, coming up next, we do have tickets for
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you to catch Legally Blonde, the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: musical.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Running over at SRT and don't forget they're coming in
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: the studio in a matter of hours. We got Riley,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Nathan Antono, and Natanya Ong.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, we're really excited. Natalia was just here like a
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: couple of months back, actually not too long ago. We
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: can't wait to catch up.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: With them iconic, an iconic movie from the early 2000s
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that has since been adapted into many things such as musicals.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Legally Blonde, the musical here in Singapore, led by an
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: all-star
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: cast,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: starring the likes of Natalia Ong, we got Nathan Hartono, Riley,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: and I'm just scrolling through the cast list.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Pierre Peng. Yeah, hello. City Kalegia. I want to
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: say hello to theater veteran Dwayne Lou. He's in the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: in the musical as well and supported by all sorts
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: of talented people who can sing and dance. Congratulations
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: everyone. Yeah, we're so excited for it. Um, in fact,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I'm about to get my tickets already, so for it.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited to watch it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Um, and we want you there too, by the way,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: 4th of August, if I'm not wrong, we have your tickets.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: So give us a call 669-11987 all throughout this week
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: asking you this one question. Now, based off the plots
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: of Legally Blonde, loosely based off it, here's your question.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: If you decided, you know what, in the middle of
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: my life and my career, I want to do a
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: career switch and do something completely opposite, what would you do?
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: What about you? What's your answer?
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: If I, if I had the chance, if I had
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: the qualifications, an accountant, yeah, just to
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: scratch that itch,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you know I wanna be a dermatologist actually.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I know you laugh because yeah, doctor and me don't
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: really go,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: right? How about this? I help your skincare center do
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the accounts. You help me with my skin. Can,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: can, yes, yeah,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: there you go. Yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: So this, this would be my midlife career pivot. What
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: they call
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: this, you scratch my back, I scratch yours.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: But you know what, I think being a doctor, dermatologist
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: is gonna take a long time, so maybe I'll give
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: up on that
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: dream.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Right now. Give us a call at 669-11987. If you
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: were to do a midlife career switch and do something
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: completely opposite, get creative with it. Tell us what you
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: would do. A pair of tickets to Legally Blonde coming
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: your
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: way.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: And you're going for the one that will be staged
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: on the 4th of August. Cheer
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and repeat it. It's right here on 987, Singapore's number
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: one hit music station. Thank you for joining us here
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: this morning.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Now it seems like we still have a bit of
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a glitch when it's coming to our phone lines, but
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: we managed to pick up Megan's call. So we followed
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: up with a story of hers on, uh, WhatsApp.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Megan sharing about how she's doing currently and she wants
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: to actually try being a botanist in the future. Wow,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: OK. I mean, hey, look, you know, if you just
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: wake up one day and you can try something else,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I think that would be so cool, right? I mean,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I wish I asked more questions, but this sounds like.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Something like maybe she's doing law because her parents say
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: you're going to do law first. Then maybe her true
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: passion is being a botanist.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I have a friend who who did medicine
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: like studied the whole, the whole way, right? Um, but
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: she actually really enjoyed doing scriptwriting and like media stuff.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: So eventually she did both, like she did the media
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: stuff on the side just for fun.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And eventually she decided to pursue media full time, you know.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's quite, quite cool. I mean it's brave.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: You know what, Megan, thank you so much for sharing
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: your story. What's coming your way, of course, a pair
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: of tickets to go watch Legally Blonde.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: On the 4th of August over at the Esplanade Theater.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be such a feel-good evening for you and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: whoever you decide to bring with you. This pair of
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: tickets is officially yours, and I believe that if you want,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you can also follow them on social media platforms.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Yes,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you can. Yeah, please do. And we have the cast,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: by the way, coming in at just past 9 a.m.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: So our friends over at MOE, I think yesterday they
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: released on when school will start next year already so quickly.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm very happy to announce that, you know,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: some years, right, school starts on a random Wednesday,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: yeah, sometimes you feel like next week or Friday yeah.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Did that just happen sometime this or last year.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Next year, if you're in primary 1 and kindergarten 1,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: you will start school 4th of Jan. It's a Monday. Yeah,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: but for secondary school kids, 4th of Jan you start
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: school already and then.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: If you're in primary 2 to 6 and K2, you
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: will start school on Tuesday, the 5th of Jan.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, why is it like that?
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I think they want to give the P1s some time
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: to orientate and the K1s as well.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I never noticed that. It's always been like this.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: There you go. At least we're starting on a Monday
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: and Tuesday. Yeah,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: um, I, I think sometimes when you start on a Friday,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: which I believe happened quite recently, we did get some
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: students calling us going like, why, why?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I go to school for one day.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: I actually agree. Yeah, maybe next time if this were
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: to happen, just give one more day holiday,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: one more day. But see, who are we to decide, right?
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: We're just here talking. I don't know if anyone will
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: take on any of these
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: suggestions.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, if we had powers for adults, we'll
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: still make Children's Day and Youth Day a holiday for us,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: for you lah. Hey,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: hello.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Don't leave me alone.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You, you say yes. Children, I don't think we can
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: identify anymore, Joe, like for real.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I think maybe some adults still can. OK,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: it's not you, right?
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: OK. Congratulations to Chris Nolan. Yep,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: The Odyssey out in cinemas today, actually. Yeah,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: everyone was kind of curious about it. The reviews are in.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: The critics are in as well. It's a bit.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Fifty-fifty. You either enjoy it or you
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: don't.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I think the, the only thing was that people had
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of opinions when it came to the casting
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: before the movie even came out, right? So a lot
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of people talking already, but I, I kind of want
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to believe Christopher Nolan knows what he's doing.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I hope
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: mean, only the director of movies like Inception.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: The Dark Knight
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: series,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: some of the biggest blockbuster films ever.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the most interesting thing. Knowing Chris Nolan
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: and his passion for film, right, there's actually gonna be
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: a traditional film screening, 35mm film screening, and Singapore, Shore Lido.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: It's the only theater in Southeast Asia to do it
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: over at the Lumia Grand Hall.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: That's insane. I mean, we've been to that hall before.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It's beautiful.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: And I'm just looking at some of the stills from
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the 35 mM version. It's something that you don't really
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: get to see anymore, you know. So
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I guess
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: it's a way to get us to watch it twice,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: one in IMAX and one in traditional 35 mM film format.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be pretty epic. So you get to see
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the likes of Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Um, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, so many people are gonna be
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: on it. It's a huge cast. And
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: if you're wondering, Shaw Lido actually has a 35 mM
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: projector from 1993.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: But here's a random fun fact for you, OK. The
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: last screening of a 35mm film for Shaw Theaters was
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: more than 13 years ago,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: which
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: makes me wonder what movie was it that used the
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: projector.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Let me see. Oh, I found it, um.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Hyde Park on Hudson was on the, on the 13th
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: of March 2013 at Lido. Do you know that? I
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: never watched that film, I think. Hyde Park on Hudson. Yeah,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: that was the last 35mm film.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: It stars Bill Murray Franklin Roosevelt.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: OK, OK. Interesting. Yeah.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we wanted to open up the phone lines 669-11987,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: seeing how, right, we've not even laid eyes on a
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: roll of 35mm film for so long. Yeah, we got
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: a question for you.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: What is the one thing of the past that you
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: miss in today's digital world?
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: What's the one thing that I miss? Well, OK, film
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: cameras and
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: You know, those Digi camps never went away. In fact, they,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: they came back, they made a resurgence. What do I miss?
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Can I,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: can I give you one answer? Even though it's still
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: being sold but not as much anymore, I missing Blu-rays
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: or Blu-ray boxes,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: DVDs,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: DVDs or movies are my favorite series and all that
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: before Netflix became
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: a thing.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I think what I miss probably.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Um, the iPod from a long time ago or the Walkman, when,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: when it wasn't, when music wasn't combined with your smartphone
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: just yet, because now I realize like, yeah, you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: it's so convenient, you've got everything in your phone, right?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: But I tend to, while I'm listening to music or
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: exploring a new album, I'm doing other things on my phone.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So back then, maybe because
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I was in school, I didn't really have like
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: An iPhone just yet. I just had the iPod Nano.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: That was kind of cool actually. I miss
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: it.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: So give us a call over at 669-11-987 or WhatsApp
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: us at 90050987. What's one thing of the past that
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: you miss in today's digital world?
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Let us know in exchange, a $100 dining experience to Gipsy.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Their one Fullerton outlet beautifully overlooks the Marina Bay backdrop.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: So give us a call now. Now, with the launch
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and the premiere of The Odyssey in cinemas, in fact,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: today I believe it opens to the public. Yes. Hope
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: that you get your tickets, go watch it over the weekend. It's, um,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be quite an epic film. I'm,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping to watch it too. We wanted to ask
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: you this question because we realized they're gonna be screening
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the 35mm version of it in theaters. Yes.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: In Singapore Lido,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: it's the only theater in Southeast Asia that will have
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the 35 MM film screening.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the last time they screened one was like
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: 13 years ago or something. So props to Shaw. Thank
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: you for doing this. I think we're looking forward to it,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: but we wanted to ask you this question. What are
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: some things of the past? Anything vintage that you miss
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and you wish you could have
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: it back?
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Saying good morning to Faisal on WhatsApp over at 9005.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: 0987. Hey Sonia and Joakim, the one thing I really
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: miss playing void deck football.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, does that not happen anymore? Is it not allowed?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Very
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: rarely. And I, and I think our law enforcement officers
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: are extra stringent and strict when it comes to these
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: things now because one simple call about noise complaint, they'll
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: come down and check you straight
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: away.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: So can I just check when you were in school, right,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you did play void deck, for sure, and nobody complained. Uh,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Not exactly void deck. I actually played at the Ang
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Mo Kio Street Soccer court, the one that was opposite
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: 30 Secondary School, so it was a court built there, yeah,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: and we're playing at like 2 to 3 p.m. in
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the afternoon. There'll be this one uncle. We, we know
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: which uncle
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: which one always call the police, but why? It's in
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a court,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: right? Because you're noisy.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Is that, is that a basis for anything because it's daytime?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Is he trying to rest or is he unwell
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: 4 p.m. So you know, boys like to play football.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: So if you thought pickleball was noisy, wait till you
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: heard us play football back then, maybe 20 years ago.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, could be, could be valid the uncle's feelings.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: When we come back, we have Lily hanging on the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: line and more of your messages to make sure that
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you get those in. We've got time for your stories
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and your opinions. What are some vintage things that you
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: missed that you sometimes wish, hey, I could have it
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: right now? Talking about what are some items of the past,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: like vintage items that you missed, all inspired by um
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the Odyssey being screened in.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: 35 mm in Singapore.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: We are the only theater in Southeast Asia the 35mm
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: film screening. Yeah, sure. Can I give you one thing
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I missed? The orange Tencent coins. Orange, the pay phone
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: at the shop, the orange
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: ones.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: So what did you, who did you call using that,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: your mom?
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: My mom.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Or sometimes my teachers back in primary school go to
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: the phone and call their mother now to
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: like update her or what? Bring the worksheet,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: that kind of thing, yeah.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: You bluff, right? You say you never do your homework.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I mean you didn't do your homework, but you say
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: you left it at home. Yeah, I knew it. you
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: know me so well. Um, more messages coming through before
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: we get to Lily on the line.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Wanna
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: say hello to Oliver who says, hey, Sojo, Oliver from
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: HTX here. Hello from upstairs. Hello.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Uh, nostalgia for me is wearing the headphones and listening
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: to the CD players on the CD racks at HMV.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, that you would have found Joakim there too. Um,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I think back then too, like my friends and I
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: would make the trip down if there's a CD we really,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: really wanted.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: I was a
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: regular while discovering people like Jay-Z, Limp Biscuit, Corn, Eminem
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: for the very first time.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I Wanna say good morning to Chris. Morning, Sojo. I
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: especially miss the times where the checking of timings of
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: TV programs were available only in the half-time ads, magazines
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: and newspapers. The way I chased my mom to buy
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: the magazines and newspapers just so I could check, and
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: when the program starts, I will hold in my pee
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: till the ads came
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: on.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Wow. Oh, now I need to know what shows this
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: guy was watching. Maybe like Channel dramas or what. I'm like,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: do you remember there was this show? I, I don't
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: know have such a core memory of it.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Um, there was a drama about uh Holland Village Nasi
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Lemak a long time ago. Do you remember this? Was
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: it called Holland?
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, was it called Holland? I don't know. I only
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: remember because my, my mom followed it and I was like, Oh, OK,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I just watched as well, and I remember having a
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: distinct craving for Nasi Lemak for a very long time
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: because of that show. Did you find it? If
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not wrong, the Mandarin could be He. OK,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't remember.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: I
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: can't remember.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: You're right. You're right.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: It's about Nasi Lamma, is
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: it,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, Patricia and all that, yeah.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, now I got to eat our cinema again. Thanks.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Lily is on the line. What about you? I miss
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: the typewriter. The
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: writer, wow.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure some vintage shops still sell it though.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Like my mom used to be a secretary back in
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the day. Yes, because it was my aunt who taught
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: me how to type. So there is some, some, uh,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: memories there. How different is it now using like an actual,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: like a modern day keyboard? What, what is it that's different?
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: audience are still the same. It's just a few, you know,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: when you type after one sentence, you have to pull
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: to the next line. Oh, actually, speaking of which, I
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: miss like the BlackBerry, you know, phones with buttons, because
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: now I don't think any phones have buttons anymore if
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: you ask me. Exactly, exactly.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: On the topic of typewriters, I want to give a
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: shout out to local poet, the novel Encounter one. He
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: uses a typewriter whenever he shows up.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: The event that we host or we are present for,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: he will write a poem. Yeah. Watching him work is
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: like poetry in motion, no pun
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: intended.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: It's, it's really cute. I'm so glad he managed to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: preserve that, you know. Thank you so much, Lily, for
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: your call. You have a great day, OK? Thank you.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: You too. Have a great day. Bye-bye. Sonia and Joakim here.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us. So we're on the
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: topic of that's been inspired by the Odyssey, screening um
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: a version of it in 35 MM here with Shaw Lido.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: It's the only one in Southeast Asia, if I'm not wrong, right?
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: So
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: in a way that's how they trap you to watch
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: it twice. You watch it in IMAX and you watch it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I really
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: don't mind, to be honest. This is something like a
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: rare opportunity. So if you're
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: booking online, make sure you check out the Lumia Grand
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Hall over at and see what times are the 35
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: m film screening for yourself.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Exactly. So we want to head back to our messages first.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: We heard from some callers and texts earlier on.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: So, let's go to messages and find out what they're saying.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Cheryl
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: says, hey, Sojo, I missed the pedal pop ice cream. Nowadays,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: it just tastes different. Does it?
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: In what way?
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Do you, do you, do you find that there's a difference,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Joe? It's been a
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: while since I had the rainbow flavored pedal
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: pop ice cream.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I haven't had it in a long time. Yeah, yeah,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: so I don't know what's the difference.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: One more coming in from your username is in Mandarin.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Can't really read the characters. Hey, Sojo, I missed the
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: scene where my grandparents would check the lottery on TV
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: where the screens were just pixels, and I missed the
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: times where we got no phones, so we will shout
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: out to our friends to ask them to come down
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: and play from level one if the friend sits at
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: the lower level or higher level.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, this brings back memories, right, for everyone. OK,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I think we got the last few messages coming up
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: just before we hit 9, so stand by for that. Uh,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: reminiscing a bit because The Odyssey is going to be
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: screened in 35 mm, which is considered quite vintage, I
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: would say, something that we don't experience much nowadays. And
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the last time it was screened that way, um, for
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: another movie was 13 years ago.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you could be in for a whole new experience
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: and you watch it, but I wanna ask you this question.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: What is something of the past that you missed in
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: today's very
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: How would I say this? Advanced and modern world. Want
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: to say good morning to Triple CF on WhatsApp. Morning,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Sonia and Joakim. What I miss most about the non-digital
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: days is manually tuning into the radio and discovering songs
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: by chance.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Actually, I think my aunties, right, um, I'm not sure
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: about my parents. I think they use like internet radio now,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: but my aunties might still have that old school, like the,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the literal radio where you can.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and a static for a while, then
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: you hear someone talking.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I think they still have it, so it's very cute.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: One coming in from Perlin, and I think Sonia and I,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: we both missed this. I really miss the MSN days.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: We could chat for hours with friends or even our crushes.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Looking back now, where on earth did all these long
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: convose topics come from?
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure if we had a history of all
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the conversations we did in those chat rooms, like we'll
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Korean chat ourselves 100%. Yeah, like I, I don't want
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: to see how I flirted with my first boyfriend ever.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I really don't want to
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: revisit it. That was bad. No
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: thanks.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: And Joanna says, morning guys. The thing I miss most
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: is the pager. Why? Back then there were no mobile
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: phones and the pager was the only way to stay connected.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Those are the very good old days. Actually,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: don't
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: you think that in a way, right, um, due to
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: the fact that we're so easily contactable now, it also
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: has changed many things, um, including punctuality. My, my parents
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: told me like back then, their generation, they were a
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: lot more punctual. In fact, they will come one hour early, which.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: explain why your dad always goes one hour early when
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: you meet him. Because back then they couldn't like text
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: each other and say like, oh, you know, if anything
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: were to change, they can't text.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: You call the house phone, OK, we meet at City
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Hall at 7 p.m. and it has to
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: be 7 p.m. at the same location. You can't make
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: changes or whatever, you know. So yeah, great theory there.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us and only one person can
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: walk away with this beautiful prize here today. Thanks
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: to Gypsy. Yeah, the one over at Fullerton. Congratulations to
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Pearle who texted us earlier.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Kind of bringing back the millennial feels for Sonia and
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I when she mentioned MSN.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Perlin, we all, we've all been there. I think, um,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: at the time when I was in poly as well,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: like we would use like Facebook Messenger and like BBM
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: at the time.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those are great memories, man.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: MSN was something for me. I used to talk to
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: talk to all my crushes, right? And then as time progressed,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: form a lobby to play Dota one.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, really? So that became like uh the, the, the platform.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Like what is the equivalent now?
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: The equivalent now is what?
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Discord,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Discord, right, OK, OK, OK.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Anyway, what you're walking away with is a wonderful experience
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to Gypsy over at One Fullerton. Like we mentioned earlier,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: they've got great happy hour treats, um, and also it's
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: a contemporary take on their Japanese cuisine. So really, really
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: traditional techniques with seasonal produce and very premium fresh seafood.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: If you're
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: going there on a first date,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: perfect place. Yeah,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: yeah, we'd love for you to experience it.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Log on and follow them, Gypsy SG on Instagram. Unfortunate
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: food news here today, a place that I used to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: go to as a
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: kid.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Do I sing it sadly? Sadly. Here we go. 123,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: food news. Food
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: news. So it's sad news. Taking you to Suntec City
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: right now. I used to go to this Crystal Jade
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: outlet with my folks all the time and I also
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: remember that they have the Crystal Jade, the bakery version
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: right near it.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Um, they're closing from today onwards, 2026. They're closing the
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: one at Suntec
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: City. Suntec City holds a very special place in my
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: heart because it was the place of my first part-time work.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Tony Romos, which is, from
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Singapore. Um, so they didn't give any reason why they're closing.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, they still have many outlets around Singapore, like
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: about 16 outlets if I'm not wrong, after Suntec closes,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: there will still be 16. So I think it just,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: they just regularly review, um.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: The operations and their outlets to see what they can
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: do or what they can adapt to in our conditions.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: So that's the most that we know for now. Um,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: they also closed their Hillion Mall outlet earlier in 2026.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Holland Village, if you remember, there was a Lamei and
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Xiaolong Pao Crystal Jade also closed in June of 2025,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: but Hong Kong kitchen outlet, uh, at One Holland Village
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: remains open. So maybe it's just a case of it
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: being too close by. They've got too many in one place, maybe.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, when Crystal Jade chains like that start closing,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I start to
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: worry something is wrong.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Start to worry.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: The extra icing is one day Tin Tai Feng announces
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: they're closing somewhere.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: That's when you know exactly. But hey, if you're able
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: to support your neighborhood favorite hawker or um food outlet today,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: just do what
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: you can.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Now you got me craving Xiaolong.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Thanks. We gotta have it. Bud Mars for taking us
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: closer to 10 on Monday.
