SPEAKER_02 1:07

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 1:09

Now don't go insta.

SPEAKER_02 1:10

You'll be fine. When do you even have to drive backwards? Like honestly.

SPEAKER_01 1:18

This song is like what's 30 years old? Oh no, it's a spice girl. Yeah, check how old it is on. So see what it is.

SPEAKER_02 1:35

1996? See? 30 years old. That's exactly 30 years old. It tastes so great. Well how old were you 13 years ago? 13? You're my age. Yeah. What a coincidence, Mom. Yeah, that's a good idea. It's so crazy. Wow, it's just like I'm you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:02

Yeah. No, you're not doing it. It's not the same. I don't have a car, I go to school every day with bicycles. Buzz a full of film. I'm very bad at sports.

SPEAKER_02 2:13

How were you bad at sports if you cycled every day? This that's very short distance. 30 minutes? 15.

SPEAKER_01 2:22

Okay, I'm there for that. Lucky, love it.

SPEAKER_00 2:28

So you have a day.

SPEAKER_02 2:40

Yeah, but so you're cycling 30 minutes a day every single day here on sporting? That's gonna be a skill, not at all.

SPEAKER_03 2:47

I play, I want to play Bedminton with my friends in the morning sometimes but then not to do that.

SPEAKER_02 2:55

Yeah, that's fair. I feel like I'm like okay at every sport I start, I'm just not good at it. Like I know people that are like really bad at sports, and it's not like I'm bad, but like at the point. It's not about my teeth. She's okay. Yeah. Yeah. Which spot she's playing with it? She plays damn until then roller skates. She's kind of scared of balls though. Why?

SPEAKER_03 3:29

I don't know. She's tiny, I don't know. Okay. Yeah, that's true. I was also tiny, I was always in the front row if not.

SPEAKER_01 3:39

Which is it? Well it's tiny or tiny. Who knows? I wasn't that we're good at study. True.

SPEAKER_00 3:48

True.

SPEAKER_02 3:51

It's just raising my hand as soon as ever, mom. You don't understand. Like, I'm raising my hand, my whole body's shaking. I don't even want to answer the question anymore. When do teachers even ask questions? I should be asking questions. Because if I'm confused, I will ask the questions, right? You don't need to ask questions to see if I understand. I won't come.

SPEAKER_03 4:13

I know you can ask questions between me and drive.

SPEAKER_02 4:17

Please drive. No, I don't know. Girl, the thing was 50 years away. Come on, I can't hurry. Okay, buddy. No, see, because if I have questions, I will ask them. So why are you asking me questions? Oh my god. Well, you blinked a little late in the scene. Yes, sir. Sorry, I could have uh drive uh bottom that truck. It's okay, I think you thought it was a bit closer than it actually was. Trucks are very slow.

SPEAKER_03 5:11

There's something I can uh brag about. Like when I was at 16, I was already at size for the green head. And uh I'm good at the physics. So every time we have physics tests, my teacher always puts the paper from top down to the highest score to the lowest score. And then in my school, every uh class has uh somebody represents. So this person will go pick up the paper, pen paper, and distribute it to every single person. So every time when we came back, the first one's always me. So people are always like, huh, again. Uh something like always this girl, always getting a great. And it's not not only that, like for example, the top score is happening, like getting IG. The next one after me will be like the seven girls.

SPEAKER_02 6:04

Right, but you were graded on a curve, no? But if you're graded on a curve, wouldn't I mean the best grade of the 100?

SPEAKER_03 6:14

So if you were the best grade, you would have the 100. Yeah, like uh, I'm already the best grade and the uh nobody's a higher end.

SPEAKER_02 6:20

Yeah, I thought you were greater on a curve. Like, the best student automatically gets a grade on the second grade. What do you mean? No, because I'm grade on secret. You know, so if I get it. And everyone will know.

SPEAKER_03 6:44

That's that's not a that's a German system. No, that's not the German system. Because uh how this is that you have a paper. The paper you have different uh questions you need to answer. They're all of them added wide reports. Right. You get everything right in front of wider part. And if you get, for example, a couple of blondes, you get like the one. So that's how that's how we're but uh in Germany, uh you also have the punch and you get that, but then you get to loot them to one, two, three, four. We don't lose that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:16

I don't know why we do that. It's okay though. My my um what's he called? My physics teacher is just percentages. Yeah. It's just really annoying to count the points though. Because you always have to check if the teachers counted correctly, and then you have to convert it into a percentage to check if you counted. It's just so annoying.

SPEAKER_03 7:35

I also don't understand the somehow I understand it, drummers it, some somehow not.

SPEAKER_01 7:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

Also, you could be like 0.2 points away from a new grade and percentage points away from a new grade. It's just so stupid. I don't want to, I don't know. Also, I don't get physics right now. I'm I'm not even gonna lie. I'm gonna need your help for the entire thing. He puts on a website, asks us to call yourself from that website, and then class is over. Really? I don't understand that. You teach us getting salary so easily? Yeah. And then when you ask him a question, he answers everything about the subject except for your question. Like he just took the entire subject again. That doesn't make any sense. Hey, girl. You ask for chat GPT, I'll ask me too. I'm gonna ask them when I study for the pet. Thing is, half my class just uses Chat GPT anyway.

SPEAKER_03 8:28

Yeah, I think uh really in the future the whole education system will become to play. Yeah, because it's outdated. Yeah. If everything's evolving, why are we? It was this Indian guy very, very famous on him just a long time ago, not only now education. And because many Indian cities cannot go to school, so he started and did very famous. He's also very good at making complicated things easier to understand and such. So he offered all these things free on YouTube. He also said he believes in the future, like this uh famous university, all these things will not be so valid anymore. It's more on how you study by yourself and uh finding the roots and paths on the things which is relevant to you. It can either be supported by AI, supported by the new technology, supported by private uh you know versus uh how the school system is. That's true. He's a very smart guy. You know, Mike also says uh we should teach kids um um how to solve problems but it's how to study.

SPEAKER_02 9:46

Yeah. Oh no. It's just not worth to do a test if everyone's just gonna cheat. It's not worth to give homework if everyone's just gonna do chat GPT anymore.

SPEAKER_03 9:59

No no, I think the chat PPT is not a problem. It's not a problem. You learn along if you learn that, right?

SPEAKER_02 10:06

No, that that's that's the problem. See you say as long as you learn, they don't learn. And then that's not right. You used to have to support to better learning, not to copy and paste and then it's. Yeah, but it's gonna happen anyway. They should have developed a school system where you're unable to do so.

SPEAKER_03 10:26

Yeah, that's why they need to solve the problem. Problem solving.

SPEAKER_01 10:42

Let's go to the beach, beach, let's go in the way.

SPEAKER_02 10:45

Okay, today, what they give us. Have a drink, then my head, which is like me.

SPEAKER_00 11:01

So in the morning, on the blue, go.

SPEAKER_03 11:08

Oh, my friend from Shanghai told me her suitcase is too full. So she's not 100% sure if she can fit everything in. And she said in the tomorrow when she's in the airport, she will try and to see if there's overweighted. If yes, then some of the stuff might be taken on.

SPEAKER_02 11:29

Okay, so either I get the clothes or my clothes get left out in the airport.

SPEAKER_03 11:35

Not in the airport, what haven't you got and uh those things on high then maybe give it back to my um then maybe I can ship it uh with my next sequel uh uh truck container or truck box. Oh truck container. Yeah, truck container, yeah. We'll find another one, but uh might not be in this room. Yeah, it's a lot uh to put in the suitcase. We ordered quite a lot.

SPEAKER_02 11:58

I didn't know. I ordered 50 years worth of stuff. Yeah, but it's half of her suitcase. Half of her suitcase.

SPEAKER_00 12:05

What the heck? What box will you want?

SPEAKER_03 12:10

Not really half, but like if you have a big suitcase, you have a two sides. Yeah, it's a one size half of half of one size. So one point which is real that's that's just already packed.

SPEAKER_02 12:24

No, it's okay. I think sorry for it.

SPEAKER_03 12:28

Nothing I can do about it. The swim mint is not strong.

SPEAKER_02 12:38

You have to bite it. I I ate it. I don't like the texture, it's like the crack top is nice, but then you go to like a gummy type of texture underneath it, and it makes me feel like I'm eating a mouse. But it's good flavor-wise. Do you wanna give me another one?

SPEAKER_03 12:57

No. Yeah, I didn't take one. Only bought one. Maybe you can find more. I'll find the one.

SPEAKER_02 13:03

Yeah, maybe, maybe.

SPEAKER_03 13:45

Tomorrow where the forecast is gonna rain. Yeah, and then Wednesday to Friday it's uh sunny. Sunny? Yeah, yeah. That's my weather forecast. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 14:02

Oh yeah, 21 degrees. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 14:10

There's a horse in the car.

SPEAKER_02 14:12

Yes, hold on. I think the owners might not know this.

SPEAKER_03 14:17

He has a horse here. Oh yeah. You have a horse in time.

SPEAKER_00 14:22

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 14:23

Is that good? It's such a one year because you have 12 animals, it's rotating.

SPEAKER_02 14:32

Maybe it's a horse pulling car. You know, I used to love Katy Perry. You to love what? Katie Perry. Ah, really? Not anymore. Well no, not really. But I still like her songs, it's just like I don't listen to her at that point.

SPEAKER_03 15:19

Eight-year-old me with different. Most of the song I'm listening to today is it's your song. True. I listen to a lot of songs. And my idols are well yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:33

The idols feel different. Yeah, this is like snail tempo. I could run faster. Oh, no.

SPEAKER_03 16:29

Sometimes I feel I'm late, which is true, I am late. Yeah, sometimes I feel there's so many cars. They're all late.

SPEAKER_00 16:35

Yeah, they're all late.

SPEAKER_02 16:39

I mean, in relativity, there's a lot of murders in the world, doesn't mean I'm gonna kill someone, so I don't understand how people kill people. This doesn't make sense in my head. I have a ring. Oh, thank you. How my earrings. Oh Bro, I'm scared my second love screw closed. I was like, I was pushing my hardest trying to get an earring through that yesterday and this morning. This one worked, this one didn't. And then it started bleeding. We don't talk about that.

SPEAKER_03 17:09

But do you know when you were small with Leon Yang? Very small.

unknown 17:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:14

And there was a time period that I was safe, dad was safe, we did not sleep, and you guys continue crying without stop. At that moment, I was not thinking about killing you and Leon, but I was hoping somebody can stop crying. That was really Yeah, I understand that. But you never do it, you know. Like no, sometimes these things uh come to your mind like uh like this, you will never do that. Yeah, yeah. But I I don't know. It's not like uh I think what they are doing is right or killing all that, but it must be something triggered that something happens, like uh sometimes if you put yourself in that condition, you might also not. Or maybe it's a different way, not if you're killing somebody. For example, if you speak up, you can avoid somebody get killed. You might or might not speak up. Sometimes it happens as well, like in the second world. Nazis, you know. These kind of things are very single.

SPEAKER_02 18:14

I think there's a difference between like risking your own life by saving a Jew by hiding them in your house, like Anne Frank or something, because that way you're risking yourself for something and serial killers that go out and murder people. Yeah, that's it, I agree.

SPEAKER_03 18:45

You know, they get beaten by their parents or they get uh and they have all this good or bad reason they can come like Yeah, but they're still alive, aren't they?

SPEAKER_02 18:55

Like maybe the guy you killed had about childhood, you didn't tell you. That's also true. Like, how would you know? Maybe they're really privileged in bullying you.

SPEAKER_03 19:05

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

I'm um I'm a dunno
