• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Next
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Good morning. Welcome to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the middle of the week. Yes, so we are halfway there.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: We still got your treats coming your way, including 4
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: passes to go to the Museum of Ice Cream just
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to unwind and enjoy unlimited servings of ice cream. Stay tuned.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So be on standby for that. Um, I just went
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to get my coffee fixed, but I honestly don't think
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that I should be drinking too much coffee, Joe, because yesterday,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: while you were not here, I think I ate something
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: wrong for breakfast. I had the worst, and I swear
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I've never experienced this before, OK. The worst food poisoning
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: at like 7 a.m. in the morning. 7 a.m. it started, OK,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and um,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know whether you could tell on air that
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I was off or not doing good, but I was
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: trying to be normal, on air, trying to be normal.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So do you know what it was that you consumed?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I already know. So, uh, the day before I ordered
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: this kimbab, like it's a kimbab roll, OK, and I
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: think there might have been cheese added in it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: In the kimbab roll, which is a popular choice for,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you know, Korean food, right? But I think maybe on
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: my way here or something, perhaps I didn't store it
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: well or maybe it just went bad. I don't know.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: But that was the only thing I ate, so that
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: has to be it. So the cheese. I think so.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It was like almost an immediate reaction, which is not
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: something I experienced before either, so.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: That was my Tuesday morning. Are you OK? Are you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in good? I'm, I wouldn't say I'm in good condition.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I had worked last night, so I wouldn't say I'm
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: in the best condition, um, but I, I don't know, man.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I might want to order some soup or something hot or.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Porridge or something in a porridge is a good option. Yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and let's make sure it's clean and prepared well. Yeah,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and also my mom made porridge and sent it to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: me yesterday, but yeah, I finished it already, so this
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: morning I think I'll have to order something. OK. I mean,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: at least, at least you're right because the one that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I had sometime in late June. I remember this, yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: your protein shake or something, milk. Yeah, yeah, that one's protein.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Milk is a weird concept. Again, I feel maybe they
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: didn't store it properly. Yeah, for sure, it's always a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: storage and the milk went bad and they put it
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: in the fridge fridge without me knowing. So I bought it,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: drank it, boom, knocked out for two days. Oh my gosh,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was it 2 days? It was 2 days. Yeah, I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: was so hungry but I couldn't eat and I, you know, OK, no, no,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we don't need to hear that. Yeah. Ellen Walker, Emerson Flora,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Monster right here.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: 7 newly engaged Alan Walker actually. Oh wow, yeah, he
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: just posted like over the F1 weekend. Can you imagine this?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: 10 years ago he was here in Singapore when Faded
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: was all the rage on 987 2016 and he was
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: spinning for Zuk Out and I remember this. I was
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: at the pizza place quite near W Hotel at Sentosa
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: quayside aisle, and I was having my pizza and I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: actually saw Alan Walker.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Without his mask, walked past. Walker walked past, and I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: went to him saying, oh my God, Alan, I'm just
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: going to keep it very quiet, but can I please
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: get a picture with you and are you OK if
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I do one without your mask? And he goes, firstly,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I'm very surprised you recognize me and sure, brother. Actually,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: he's one of the, the DJs that even though he
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: started off wearing the mask, which I think he was
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: one of the first ones that started to do that, right, um,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: he doesn't mind showing his face.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, um, there are other DJs like,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with I Hate Models
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and even Marshmallow. Um, I don't know whether we know
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: or there's access to pictures of their face till now. Yeah, actually, yeah.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: People are still speculating on who Marshmallow. So on the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: topic about famous DJs, we had them for Formula One,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the likes of Diplo Yon from Girls' Generation, hopefully I'm
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: getting her name right.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And you know, Formula One attracts all sorts of people.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: They want to go for either the race or they
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: want to go for the concert. I mean, we've read
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: about all the COI happenings by the fans, but unfortunately
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: for one man, a 39 year old man, he was
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: charged on Saturday trying to do what? Yeah, and I'm
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: very surprised this is still happening and people are attempting this,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: stealing something. No, using fake tickets to get into Formula One.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Let's do a thing. Yeah, you get caught, man. So I,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I'm reading the news. Apparently he entered the event area
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: despite having an invalid ticket, and then he entered a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: restricted area meant for F1 Singapore Grand Prix staff and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: performing artists. So I think it's the letter that got
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: him in trouble. So, OK, so I was half right.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Like he, he did almost attempt to pose as someone
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: working there in a way or he wanted to go
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and see.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: The celebrities and all that backstage. So, OK, not to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: encourage crime, but if he just got in and he
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was able to walk around the area and blend in,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you should have just stayed doing that and not go
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to the restricted areas. I think people get ambitious like
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: when they realize, oh, this works. Yeah, so I should
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: try the next thing, yeah. The police were called in,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: able to locate him and arrested him, I think could
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: have been. I think this has traditionally.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: This has happened before. Yeah, like in the past. I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: know people who have, you know, had fake tickets or
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: some people have been victims of fake tickets back then
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: as well. Yeah. So according to our friends over at
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: CNA for each count of criminal trespass, he could be
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: jailed up to 3 months or fined up to 1500
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: or worse, not worth it at all, bro. Yeah. I mean,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I hope he learns his lesson from this. Just, you know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: do it the right way. I just want to very
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: quickly share that both of us are having breakfast in
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the studio.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, and it's been a while since I had. In fact,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I don't recall you ever ordering with me, yeah, because
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I used to order like tom yumm and all that,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and you never tag on with the order. I mean,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: tom min in the morning for me is a bit
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of a stretch. OK, OK. I'm definitely not having that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: after yesterday's incident with my stomach, so, but wow, this
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: is the best bowl of meekui I've had in my life.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: It's so good, delicious, right? Yeah, um, this is not
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a paid post at all, but shout out to Fong.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I love Fong Hub, honestly, you can order anytime, like
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: even late at night. Over at Brickworks Estate. If you're
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: tuned in, thank you very much. The order was. Yes,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I had a porridge. I'll be having porridge for the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: next few days. Thanks to my stomach problems. Anyway, um,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: like I mentioned earlier and I asked you, have you
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: ever received something that wasn't meant for you? A woman
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: in her sixties here in Singapore has received at least
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: 19 parking-related fines.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Despite neither owning nor driving a car. Wait.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: If you're getting fined once or twice, chances are maybe
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you learn your lesson, right? 19 times. So that's the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: mystery is that she doesn't even own a car and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: she can't drive either.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: So her husband came out to say that um his
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: wife had been receiving these fines addressed to her from
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: um HDB actually for illegal parking since September of last year.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: So the fines accumulated to an amount of like almost
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: 1.4K but none of them, neither husband or wife or
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: their kids own a car. So they're like, where did
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: this mysterious car come from?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Um, according to the parking fines, the vehicle involved, uh,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: bears the license number plate 7965Y, OK, and it's out
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: there already, so it's not a PDPA situation, but, um,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: in the most recent case, it was ticketed for parking
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: offense in March of this year, and they've accumulated more
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: than 50 reminder notices. So,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. They've contacted the authorities.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: They're looking into it right now and they've clarified that
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: we are not the owner of this vehicle. There must
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: be a mistake. Could it be a case of the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: lady might have lost her IC before?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And then someone, someone used it to register and again,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not speculating anything. Maybe the license plate could be
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a bogus license plate, like a syndicate. This is the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: start of like a bigger mystery. You never know. Yeah,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: or a bigger crime. I don't know, but I believe
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that the authorities are working on it and they've actually
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: reached out to say that please disregard the fines and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: summons and you don't need to come to the court
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: hearings because they proved that they're not the owner.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Well done. But um, you see, that's the thing, the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: mystery continues. Like we don't have the answers to it
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: just yet. Now I'm very invested. Now, I'm pretty sure
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: our boys over at the SPF and our our people
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: serving the SPF will be looking into this case and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: finding out the true criminals and the true culprits in
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: just a while. We're definitely waiting for that for sure.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I'm very sure our preschool teachers, they are stretched.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, they are working long hours, they are making
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: sure kids are OK, kids are having their nap time,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: kids are well behaved, and then we got time to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: plan all the lesson plans and engage parents because once
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: they end their day, I mean, if they have families
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of their own or a life of their own, of course,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: they want to just unwind from work and do things, right?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of responsibility.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Most of the time, no matter which industry you're in,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you don't want to bring work home. Yeah, you want
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: home to be a home, right? And this is why
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: according to our friends over at CNA, according to a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: press release, from November 2027, all ECDA licensed preschools must
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: provide eligible full-time certified preschool educators with at least two hours.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Of non-contact time per week. Wow, OK. That means during
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the work hours itself, you can split it up between
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: 2 days, 1 hour, 1 hour each, where you have
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: 1 hour to actually be away from work but still
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: at work to plan lesson plans, respond to parents. So
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: can you put your status on your chat as like,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you know, chat you're using, whatever platform you're using, you
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: can put your status as what what is it again?
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: What's the term again? Uh, non-contact. NCT I'm on my
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: NCT now or something. Could also be a K-pop band,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: that's true, yeah, yeah, so they can also use that
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: time to prepare teaching materials and maybe say document the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: child's progress in class and all without having to bring
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: it home or spend more time working to do all
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: these after work ends, yeah.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: But realistically, you know, a big portion of us will
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: still end up having to do some work even when
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: we're at home, which, OK, I don't mind as long
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: as it's not like an unreasonable hour that you're contacting
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: me and you know, and I, I put my phone
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to like a D&D, OK, yeah, at a certain time
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and maybe even if Microsoft Teams on D&D as well
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to just take a short break.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Again, for non-contact time NCT. It's a welcome move. Hopefully,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: it reduces the burnout for our preschool teachers who are
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: doing a lot, by the way. We're sending you love, honestly, educators, teachers,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: everyone else in the service sector, we appreciate you. Seems
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: like um this new conversation has sparked off on social
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: media with a lot of split views right now.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that you have noticed by now that over
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: at Changi Airport, we have fully carpeted floors, especially on
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the inside, you know, the departure area and the arrival
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: area and all that. So even though it's the world's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: busiest airport, is it still the world's busiest airport should be,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: it's also the world's quietest airport where you won't hear
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: that much footsteps, the trolleys and all that. That is
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the whole point of having carpeted floors in the first place.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I never knew how much I appreciated it until I
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: went overseas, and most of them don't have carpeted floors,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and it's so overwhelming and it's so noisy, and you know,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you hear people's luggages screeching, um, you know, rolling, really
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: loud sounds all around. So I was quite appreciative of
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the fact that we have carpeted floors. However, I do
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: acknowledge that it's quite difficult to push your luggage across
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the carpet sometimes. Do you agree? Sometimes.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Depends. I think your, your large luggage, you're talking about
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that in general, just everything is a bit, it takes
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a bit more effort to roll across the carpet. That's a,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: it's a fact. Yeah, so I'll just check my wheels
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: to make sure it's working fine and it's, no, no, no,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's anything got to do with your
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: wheels being damaged. I just think that if you have
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a carpeted floor or any surface that is not smooth,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: obviously there's gonna be more friction. This is a fact, yeah.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I, I never had that issue. Maybe
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: because you la. That's why he uses luggage.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Hello, you also got removal back, yeah. I don't actually.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I use Samsonite. Samsonite, OK, but I think what I
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: do is I usually just put it on the trolley,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: then I instantly check it in and I'm done. OK,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: so you don't have like uh cabin luggage. No, no, no. Oh,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I kind of in a cabin. So, um, there was, uh,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: there was a post that went up, um, about someone
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: being rather unhappy.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Happy with the fact that someone decided to put carpets
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: in our, you know, uh, in Changi Airport, and um,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't read it out word for word because it's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: not appropriate for on-airs, but it has sparked off a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: whole conversation of whether or not having carpeted floors is
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a good idea at an airport.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I, I appreciate Changi Airport for the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: way it is. Me too, me too. And it's really,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it really brings down the noise decibel level. I feel
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: like it elevates the whole experience. That's the, that's the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: main point. And it's one of the beauties of Changi
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Airport as well. And naturally, you know, um, Singaporeans got
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a little bit defensive as well in the, in the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: replies and in the comment section.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Rightfully so. I think the intention is there, the intention
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: is there. So I, I mean, this person goes on
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to list all sorts of other encounters that she faced
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: over at Changi Airport, but the whole debate is started
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: by the carpet at Singapore Airport, Singapore's Changi Airport. Yeah, exactly. OK,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: so we want to open up lines right now, 669-11987
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: or you can drop us a message 90050987.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Do you personally like the fact that we have carpeted
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: floors at Changi Airport, or do you find it kind
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of irritating or a hassle because it's very hard to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: roll your luggage across? You can be anonymous if you
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: want to. Give us your thoughts and we'll let you
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: win a fantastic.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Prize here on 987-669-11987. Call us or you can WhatsApp
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: us at 90050987. The carpeted floors over at Changi Airport, always,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: always a cause of contention. I feel like either you
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: love it or hate it. And like I mentioned earlier, yes,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: it can take extra effort to roll your luggage across
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: any floor that has more friction, which has a surface,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you know, like AKA the carpet.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, we appreciate the silence. Yes, right?
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: It reduces noise, the squeaking of the shoes, or even
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the sound of heels whatsoever. And yeah, even though it's
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the world's busiest airport, it could be the world's quietest,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: open inverted commas as well. Want to say good morning
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to Augustin. Augustin says, Hey guys, I support the idea
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: of carpet flooring in the airport, though I seldom travel,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and when I do, it was with family.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Not lugging one but two cabin luggage. I don't feel
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: like it's a hassle to do it. Personally, I feel
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it's a more positive experience than negative. Not saying it's
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: not an idea, but it actually provides a nice sleeping
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: area for people waiting for their flights, but actually I've
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: seen it. Yeah, yeah, especially if they layovers. Ramesh says,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I actually noticed this particularly at Changi Airport Terminal 2
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: departure area, especially after the airside upgrading works. The carpets.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Is it noticeably harder to push luggage trolleys, particularly when
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: they're heavy. Interestingly, I don't experience the same issue at
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: T1 or T3. Somehow I feel my trolleys move more
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: smoothly there. I recall this being discussed too on LinkedIn
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: about a year ago. It's not a new observation, but
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: for an airport that prides itself on world-class passenger experience,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: it is a basic design and usability issue that should
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: have been addressed. It's a small detail, but one that
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: could make a real difference to travelers. So he is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Saying that there is a difference between the difficulty level
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: in pushing your luggage in different terminals. OK, so is
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: very difficult. Terminal 1 and 3 is OK. Terminal 4.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: So I guess I want to say good morning to Sham.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: One more text before I take a quick music break.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Morning guys. I love the airport. The sound dampening is amazing.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: It's so calming, especially for someone who has a fear
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of flying. The calmness really helps. Heck, if I could,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I'd set up an inflatable mattress and just go and
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: sleep there.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's quiet enough to do that, I guess, you know. Anyway, um,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get to some of your calls and more
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: of your messages in just a bit. Still time for
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you to contribute your stories, by the way. How do
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you feel about having carpeted floors at Changi Airport? Do
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you love it or hate it? We're down to more
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: messages before we get to your calls here today talking
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: about whether you love or hate the carpeted floors at
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Changi Airport. I think today we have activated the Changi
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Airport Defense Force. Here we go.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Everybody's coming to defend our airport. I want to say
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: good morning to T. T says, Hello, Sokim. For a start,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: only the area past immigration is carpeted, and you are
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: not expected to have big luggage there anyway. So not
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: sure what the person was going on about, and I've
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: been to more than 50 airports in my life so far,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and I challenge anyone to say that there is a
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: better airport than Changi. Uh, I mean, I agree. I agree.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Are we biased, Joe? Like, are we just very proud
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: of our stuff? I mean, it's the rose-tinted glasses that
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: will never ever come out when it comes to anything
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: about Singaporeans defending Singapore, yeah, yeah, against, uh, I don't
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: want to say the words foreign entities, but you know
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: what I mean, you know, haters haters, yeah. I want
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: to say hello to Tracy. Tracy says, morning, Sojo. I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I dread dragging my cabin luggage on the newer carpets
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: in T2 because they're still quite fluffy, so the resistance
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: is real. I will sure perspire if I need to
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: rush to the gate. It's a little easier to roll
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: tilted on two wheels instead of four, but that's, I
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: think it's a small price to pay for the calm
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: and luxe feel the carpet brings. Pro tip, use the
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: small trolleys provided after immigration. Those glide smoothly.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Um, you know, I just always wonder the amount of
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: cleaning required for the carpets all across Changi Airport, like,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: When do they do it and how? I mean, I'm
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: sure it's automated now, like the way that they, they
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: probably have machines going around. I also think it happens
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: all the time. It just constantly is it? It happens
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: so much that you just take it for granted and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: you might not even notice it happening around you. Yeah, yeah.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: More of your messages and Ryan's been hanging on the line.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: We asked you, do you love or hate the carpeted
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: floors at Changi Airport? Again, we should call ourselves the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Changi Airport Defense Force.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: CDF, that's Chief of Defense Force. Hello, sir. Sorry, CADF
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: if you're tuned in, uh, want to say hello to Fiona,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: who says love the carpet at the airport. It's cozy
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and feels like home, never easy to maintain, and they've
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: done an amazing job on this. Kudos, and I'm so
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: proud to be a Singaporean. And what's more, many Singaporeans
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I know love to go to the airport whether they're
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: flying or not. Oh, it's so beautiful just to visit.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Just to see what's up, right? Yeah. One more coming
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: in from Satish. Satish you say blessed morning Sojo.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: As far as airports go, Changi is the goat, greatest
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: of all time. I would say people are complaining about it.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: It's just that they are sour grapes. It's the same
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: reason for which Singaporeans complain about everything. Try traveling to
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a country where electricity and water is scarce. You'll be
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: very grateful. Yeah. No, yeah, I absolutely agree. OK, we've
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: got Ryan on the line. What do you think, Ryan?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I love it. It's quiet. It's a static compared to
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the other airports.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Around the region, the sound does make a difference. Uh,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, if anybody tried walking the Jakarta airport or
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the Pudong airport, uh, you can't even hear yourself half
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the time. No, that's true. That's so true. So which
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: airport would you say is like your least favorite? Has it,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: is it Jakarta, the layout is horrible and you have
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to take another light rail to the light airport and
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Everything is so disconnected, really lack of any aesthetic reason
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: just to stay longer in the airport. The sound, the toilet, yeah, it's, it's,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: it's vastly different. The thing is, sometimes I wonder whether
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: certain places, right, they intentionally make it like not so
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: nice because they don't want you to hang around for
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: too long. They're like get, get out, get out, just
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: do your thing and go. Exactly, yes, not so aesthetic.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your call. Have a great day.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: OK, bye-bye. We're down to our last few messages right
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: now and we're talking about whether you love or hate
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the carpeted floors in Changi Airport. OK, yeah, I want
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: to say hello to Hata on WhatsApp. Hata says, morning, Sojo.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: If an able-bodied person struggles with their hand carry luggage,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: means that bag is overweight. Really, maximum 7 kg, guys.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: No lah, but I think based on what a lot
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: of our, uh, listeners have been telling us so far,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: it's simply the friction between your wheels and the carpet.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: So I think the carpet is Terminal 2. We say
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: this affectionately. Uh, one more coming in from Richie. Richie,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you say morning guys. I don't know how to appreciate
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: our airport in my younger days until now. I travel
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: a lot and just in the recent years, I realized
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of nice things about Changi Airport. Fun fact,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the carpet in our airport helps us reduce soreness in the.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Heels and also helps with knee issues even if we
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: walk around a lot in the transit area for shopping.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. And number 2, the different color
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: and design of the carpet helps us differentiate different terminals.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: For example, Terminal 2 is bluish turquoise while Terminal 3
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: is mainly blue. It's almost like the Disney adventure that
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: we're on the red, green, and blue carpets, yeah. Well,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for all your messages and your
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: calls from today. I think this is a much larger
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: conversation that we're about to have very soon.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Um, but what, what we can safely conclude that all
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Singaporeans are very defensive of our pride and joy at
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Changi Airport. By the way, can I say perfect timing,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: because the Skyre voting happens very soon. Yes, so please
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: vote for Changi Airport as the best airport in the world.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I'm ready. We're always there to support. Let's win it
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: 15 times or more. With the whole incident with, you know,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Cortis and its fans and everything and the Singapore fandom
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: actually apologizing for the mess that went down, I actually
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: felt really proud of them.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: For for taking responsibility, you know, but also it's not
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the first time that the padang or the concert venue
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: has been filled with litter after a Formula One concert.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I remember this tweet I made when Twitter was still
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: fun back in the year 2018 or 2019, right? I
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: think it was after Swedish House Mafia on a Friday
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: when I was walking around the padang. I saw loads
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: of litter on the floor. It kind of went viral.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: It got stomped as well and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Hopefully this year it improved and it
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: got better as well. You know, um, in Japan, right,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: because if you notice when you walk around in Japan,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: you don't see many bins. You realize that when you walk.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: So what people do is they actually keep those like
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: little trash bags in their bags, and then they trash
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: it in their bags first, then they'll toss it later.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I think the reason why people just chuck it on
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the ground is because there's no trash bin. If you're
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: stuck there in the concert.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: They're just going to drop it on the ground and
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: they assume the cleaners will do it for you. But
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: also shout to our friends over in Japan who every
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: World Cup, every football tournament or any sporting event, you
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: will see the Japanese fans cleaning up. They will clean
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: up after themselves. Well done to them. But here's the thing,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you know, with every good gesture will come haters and
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: after this year's, uh, was it World Cup.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: They were saying, oh, they're just doing it because they're
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: being performative. Can you, can you believe it? I was
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: like horrified at the comments. I can only imagine where
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: these kind of comments are coming from. I won't say
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the country in an international incident, but it's always, it's
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: always there, right? It's OK. Today we've got a pretty
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: crowded studio, Joe. Yeah, so what I'm holding up.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: 87's TikTok if I can get the angle correctly. uh,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: if you want to book this lovely young band for
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: any events or we're not talking weddings, you can see
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: here is the QR code. You can scan it. I
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: think I will leave it up for the entire performance,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: but last week, or was it two weeks ago, you
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: might have seen a video that's gone viral and covered
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: on so much of our press outlets here.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: In Singapore and when I saw it, I felt quite angry.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, we talked about it on air, right?
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And um just TLDR TLDR, they went from, you know,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: an ordinary day busking to a confrontation with an uncle. Yes,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that's the, that's the conclusion, right? And when I was
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: when they came in the studio, I said kudos to
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: them for keeping calm because I don't know about our reactions.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: You might have shouted back, but say hello to J
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Pag Ben.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Studio, hello guys. Yeah.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Morning. Is this too early for you? Like, how's it,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: how's it going, guys? It's going OK. It's great. The
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: energy is still not there. waking up waking up. Wait,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: wait till you hear them sing. OK, guys, before we
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: get to whatever happened in that video, uh, take us
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: to your leader. Who do we direct question?
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and then you all can spit among yourselves with hands
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: pointing everywhere pointing at each other, pointing at each other. OK,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: for the sake of our audience who might uh just
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: getting to know you right now, maybe you can introduce
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: yourselves and left to right what you do, sing, play
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: one by one. Yeah. Hi, I'm Phoebe. I'm the keyboardist
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: of the band. Hello, I'm Jess. I'm the singer.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: He's got to lean
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: in. So I'm the guitar.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Hi everyone, my name is Gerald. I play the drums
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: and I also do a bit of backup singing when
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: she needs to take a break.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: OK, OK. OK, so let's go back to the beginnings
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: of this band. How do you all even form, meet
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and start jamming together?
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Um, we actually were at the same place, the same
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: music school, so we met through there and then um
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: because uh we, they wanted us to do some performance
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: in the morning for school assemblies for the MOE schools
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and so we started um jamming from there.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Yes. And how long ago was this? This was just
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: last year. Oh, so you're like a newly formed band. Wow,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I thought they knew each other for like super long, man,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: but that's the impression that I got actually, you know what,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: let's just apply for license. So, so here's the thing,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, the, the concept of busking and how people
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: perceive it has changed so much over the years, right?
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Um, how did you decide to, OK, I want to
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: go into busking specifically and not like try to get
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: gigs another way. Who, who had this
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: idea?
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Um, it was my initially and Phoebe, we were already bus,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: so we decided that two men is not enough because
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: we only cover singing and keyboard.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: So we thought, why not just create um four-man band, OK,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: with Vero with jazz, and let's see how it goes. Yeah.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: So why basking first is because we were just starting out,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: we were still very new to, to being a band,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: so we wanted to try to build our repertoire first. Yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: So once we build enough repertoire, then we tried to
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: just go for another audition for 4 of us and then, yeah.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: The rest is history. OK. Only because among the four
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: of you, at least for me, she shows up on
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: my algorithm a lot. Jazz, we, we know you can
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: sing opera, you're an operatic trained singer, and you also
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: teach music. I love the different ways you teach students
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: how to sing the notes, by the way. How different
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: is operatic singing and then going into pop music as well?
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: It's very, very different, the styles and everything, but uh
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the technique wise because uh I had formal training, so
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: switching into pop was wasn't too difficult for me. So
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the high notes and quite effortless. I mean, didn't you
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: see the soundtrack just now, like pretty effortless already. So
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I have a question. So when it comes down to busking, right?
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Um, it's not always a captive audience. Am I right
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: to say that? Sometimes on like if you're at a
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: good location with uh high traffic of people, they might
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: stop and watch. But how do you then like build
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: your confidence to just keep going when people are just
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: like moving around? I don't know. Do you feel that way?
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, I, I noticed that, right? Yeah, actually more
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: or less because whenever we see people like, oh, come on,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: let's let's faster, like get it on, you know, like
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: just keep going and stuff like that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: But then when we see like the low traffic, that's
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: when we're like, OK, let's, uh, take a short little
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: water break and then, OK, like faster like get back
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: into it. Yeah, but it's, it really depends on the
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: people as well because sometimes they will stop by, they
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: will film us, and then, uh, some people when they
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: walk past, they will also film us. So this is
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: how we get like their, their connection with us. So
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: you have to read the word of mouth, but I
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: was gonna say.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Sonia and I have hosted in empty malls before and
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: sometimes you have to try to stop people. So it's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: very hard. So we know exactly how you feel. But
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: this really brings up the shamelessness factor in us. Just
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: do only, yeah, just sing and host and do it only, yeah, OK. OK, so, um,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: take us to Pasir Ris right now, which I grew
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: up at actually. That's my hood. Yeah, and I know, um,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: 22 of you live around the area, right?
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Um, was it an immediate decision to be like, OK,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Pasir Ris is our zone, or were you assigned to
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the location when you applied for the permit? and then
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: you can slot. OK, so you select your location.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: On where to go or was it no no Pasir
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Ris Pasir Ris, we were clueless at first. So initially
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: we were thinking of central location so that more people can,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: it's easier for people to come, but then we realized
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: that oh the traveling distance is quite far and plus
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: we have so many equipment.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: It was very tough for us, yeah, especially the Orchard area. Well,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: the carrying the lugging, everything was very tough. So we
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: decided that, OK, how about we do somewhere that is
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: closer for us, yeah, more convenient. Yeah, so we decided
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: to pass at Pasir Ris. So do you equipment at
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: the people who stay at Pasir Ris' house like the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: keyboard and stuff like that, someone's house near Pasir Ris,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: they leave it at my house.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: You're chosen. You're the chosen one. OK, when we come back,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I believe you've prepared some tracks for us. Yeah. What
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: will you be doing for us today? Alright, our first
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: song will be Don't Stop Believing by Journey. OK. Now
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: we'll give you a second to set up. We're still
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: live on TikTok right now, but I wish I could
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: paint you a picture if you're not tuned in on
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: TikTok Live. They've actually got a lot of equipment. They
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: brought their full range of instruments here today. We're very,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: very excited. That's happening in a few minutes. Standby. Good vibes,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: good energy here in the studio. We're about to have some.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm, I'm very proudly holding up the QR code
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: that you can scan on TikTok Live to view JPEC's
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: busking schedule, and you can also book them for events.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I think, given how they kept themselves calm and collected
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: during whatever happened last week or two weeks ago in
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: that video, to which I want to ask, OK, someone
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: break down the entire situation. I'm pretty sure loads of
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: local media outlets have asked you the same question as well,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: but maybe you can hear it from your point of view.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: What happened? So we know you guys kept to 65 decibels.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: And then yeah, explain the whole situation. So it was
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: on 2nd of October, it was a Friday and we
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: booked our busking slot at Pasir Ris MRT from 1:0:00 a.m.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: to 12 p.m. So we were busking for about an
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: hour and 50 minutes. So it all was good. There
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: was no complaint from SMRT and uh our last song
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: was Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars. Yeah, and OK,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: then at first when we started, it was all good
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: and we saw an uncle approach us.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: And initially I thought he was gonna um say a
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: comment or like make a song suggestion or something, but yes, yes,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: song request or then after that he started um telling us,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: lower your volume, you're too loud and then immediately I
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, OK, and then I nodded my head
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge him, but because I was in the middle
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: of all my instrumentalists, so I couldn't walk to the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: speaker to lower the volume immediately, so we were planning
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: to do it after the song.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: But because the uncle was still raising his voice, so
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: my guitarist actually stopped playing. Yeah, so the volume was
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: already lowered, but he continued uh raising his voice at
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: us and he actually went to my keyboardist and he continued,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: he continued shouting and my keyboardist also lowered her volume, yes,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: so we were already softer, but um the uncle was
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: still not satisfied, yeah, so um we had to stop
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: the music.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Uh, right there, and, um, so a few passersby actually
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: went up to like protect us, yeah, to stop the uncle, yes, yes,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: and uh after that, um, someone told us to ignore
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the uncle and just continue with our basking session, but
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: um because I didn't want to um cause a scene,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to leave because you know um you
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: know their safeties are my priority.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: So I told them that OK let's pack up, let's
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: leave and then um someone said to call the police
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: but I didn't want to make things up, yeah, so
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: uh maybe a passerby called the police, so shortly after
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: when we were packing, the police came and they took
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: our statements, but by the time the police arrived, the
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: uncle already.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is, is this uncle like recognizable? Like, you know,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: sometimes you recognize people walking about. You've never seen him
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: before you've encountered him. Was he even a Pasir Ris resident?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: That's my question. So, so have you all seen him
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: make an appearance since that day? No, yeah, no, I
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: think he knows he went viral also. So if I
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: say I don't want to go there. Someone on TikTok
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: say you should invite the uncle to the studio.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Find out why. Find out why. No, no, but, but again, again, guys,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: kudos to staying calm and of course Jess for being
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: like the leader and protecting the bandmates and making sure
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: they're all safe as well. Uh, Lion on TikTok says
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Pasir Risians don't claim this uncle. I also don't claim
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: because I used to stay there on behalf of all
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: the Pasirian, yes, all of us.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: So, so before we get to your first track, have
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: you guys received a lot more requests and follows ever
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: since that incident because it was pretty viral. I mean,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of media outlets covered it. Yeah. So uh
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: we received more requests. Nice and also uh some bookings
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: as well. Wow. Thank you, uncle.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: We, we, we booked you for our studio show. I
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: love that. OK, now you've prepared a couple of tracks
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: for us. What will we start with? Right, uh, we
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: can start with Don't Stop Believing by Journey. Alright, let's go.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Anytime you're ready, take it away.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: It's a small town girl
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: No

• 39:54
  Speaker 1: right now saying blessing to our ears in the morning,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: loving the sets. Wow, where's this pianist from? You know what,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: in defense of their song choice, if you grew up
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: watching Glee, this made me very happy. Don't stop believing.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: You know, it's been a while since we've had that
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: song on air.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Because we play top 40 music most of the time, right?
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: But thank you for putting a fresh spin on it. Um,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: is that one of your favorite songs to perform in general?
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: It is. Why? It's just a feel good kind of
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: thing or this gets us a lot of. Yeah, I mean,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: it's one of the ultimate sing-alongs to jam. But can
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I read a comment from Sharikim, the uncle coming to
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: 987 now.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Uncle on the way.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, to answer some of your questions on TikTok Live, yes,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: it's their first time here in the studio. We're very
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: happy to have them here. And it's been a long
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: time since we've had like a full band like that
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: in the studio, you know, I think it's so impressive.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I'm glad our space can accommodate, but we know you
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: have one more song for us. Do you need a
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: break or anything? OK?
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: No, they're good lah. I think they're fine. They can
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: keep going. I'll hold the board again. What? It's OK,

• 41:40
  Speaker 1: it's absolutely life, OK, if you needed any extra proof

  Speaker 1: That's hilarious
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember what is the name.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: It's scary that I actually know. So who's the vacuum cleaner,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: the naughty Nu.

  Speaker 1: OK, maybe Joe and I might appear as the sun.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: We stand in the background as the sun. Anyway, thank

  Speaker 1: you so much for all the good vibes here today.

  Speaker 1: anything to your newfound audience? Um, we've got so many
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: viewers right now, just saying how much they appreciate your
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: music this morning and they were all singing along as well.

  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for supporting us. It really means
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: a lot to us because um

  Speaker 1: All started from zero, from scratch, so we are very
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: grateful for all the support this uh this new year, yeah.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Any anything else you want to add while we have
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: the mic since you're actually, yeah, I really want to
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: thank all the support that we received so far because
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: we we do know that uh because of the uncle
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: complaints and stuff like that.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: It might have been a bit scary to us, but
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: thank you for all your positive comments, and that always
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: keeps us going, yeah. Anything else?
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: I'm the oldest here actually and my birthday is just yesterday.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: And I'm feeling so grateful to have them. Yeah, they
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: actually trained me a lot. They scold me a lot
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: because I'm the, you know, um.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: I'm always slow in terms of playing music and need to, uh,
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: you know, a bit hardworking, OK, but they all are
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: very supportive. They scold me in a good way. So yeah,
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: you know, uh, yeah,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: OK, wait, can I end this on the one rule
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: that I always believe in Sonia. If a busker stops
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: you and you look, you owe them $1.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's the rule, is it the rule. I mean,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: if I make eye contact, I'm giving everything in my
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: wallet already. I'm like, I'm like that under pressure. I'm
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: that kind of person. So look at her. Thank you
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: so much for being with us here today. We wish
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: you all the best for having us. If you have

• 49:36
  Speaker 1: to do, OK? Alright, thank you, James.
