So in today's Guide To Life, we're actually going to be doing a viewer suggestion.
Somebody suggested that I should go 48 hours without social media, so...
You are very cruel.
So we're gonna be modifying that a little bit,
because 48 hours, you crazy ah you, that is not possible okay.
And we're just gonna do one day without internet. Okay? Compromise!
I would say that on a scale of one to ten, with regards to whether I'm a heavy internet user,
I am definitely a freaking eleven la.
What else are you gonna do in life without the internet really?
There are movies right where people go to mountains
and then there is no internet connection, then they die cause some mutant attacks them
and they lose their way and they have to end up
being in some inbred person house who eats them...
that's what I think will happen if you have no internet.
The rules for today is that I'm not supposed to use the internet for the entirety of today,
but if I really really need to, I can but there is a forfeit and yep,
my producers are not telling me what it is yet.
So I guess later on I'll decide whether it's worth it
but I will try my very best to go without it.
So, I just woke up and now I'm feeling very antsy cause I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I must say this rehab is very tough,
not working out well for me right now.
So I think the first thing I'm gonna do is to cheer myself up by eating
a Magnum that's in my fridge.
Y'all really gonna just film me eating Magnum.
Seriously.
And the crew is very very mean, they are not talking to me
so I feel very alone and sad.
I'm gonna soon give up and use my privilege to WhatsApp them.
Why is this so difficult to open?
See I wanna write a complaint letter to Magnum also cannot.
My god, I've to go through snail mail.
Dear company of Magnum, the design of your box is very dumb,
very difficult to open.
Hmm probably my own fault for opening it wrongly but yeah.
Okay! I should probably unbox the stuff that's on my mantelpiece,
it has started to crowd my house again.
And the real boss of my house, which is Ellen, she's very upset about it.
So maybe today I will just do that
because I can film my unboxing and it does not need internet.
So usually I would do my unboxing here
with this little stand that I got from Taobao.
And I don't usually use the light cause my house is bright enough.
So let's start okay, open time.
I'm using WutaCam which will make me look chio-er.
I am going to put my lenses on, how about that.
Look at that, now I've blue eyes okay.
Aha okay great.
This is so weird that people filming me doing unboxing when I am filming myself doing unboxing also.
Hey guys doing some unboxing today...
Okay, that was 30 seconds. Should I do it again?
Okay yes, I'll do it again.
This is going to be like very tedious for you guys.
You know, I've to balance between being nice to your clients but at the same time, cannot
give them too much free, cause it still worth money, the IG stories.
So, have to keep it like, not too long.
Okay so, I have done a lot of unboxing and I'm very sick of doing it already,
so I'm gonna stop even though I haven't finished yet.
But I did put a huge dent in the amount of unboxing I'm supposed to do.
So ta tang da dang.
Yeah, I'm feeling pretty hungry so I think it's time for lunch so let's go.
Please let me know the place.
There's no fucking way I would know how to go there.
No way. Zero idea how to go there.
How ar?
Upper Boon Keng...Boon Keng is where?
I've been driving for six years now, I've zero idea how to get to Boon Keng.
Like zero. I don't even know which expressway goes there.
So I stay in Serangoon.
Macpherson? It's near Macpherson. Is it near Macpherson?
It's near Kallang? So I should go KPE?
Do not know.
That is not possible la.
Right now my phone is on airplane mode still.
But I feel like I did download the Singapore map on Google Maps.
I'm gonna go try it to just kind of like see if it actually works.
Okay so if it works then I don't need internet to go there.
How about that!
Okay so does it work?
Let me see. Oh it said no network connection.
Hello I thought I downloaded the map? Oh...oh...oh...
But I do have the map here, I do have the map here so I can kind of look
at where Boon Keng is, and search for it.
Kaki Bukit! Is it near Kaki Bukit? Is it near Eunos?
I don't know. This is going to take a million years.
MacPherson! I feel like it is near MacPherson.
Is it near Tai Seng?
Oh my god, I feel like all the other Singaporeans are like judging me.
Should I just take a cab?
Is that cheating?
Okay, that is cheating. So I'm supposed to navigate my way there
without the internet.
I'm completely stuck now.
There's no way. No dude I really cannot.
Do you want to do a forfeit?
I want to know what the forfeit is first.
What is the forfeit?
I am not feeling very confident about it because
the crews are looking very very happy about this
and I feel like they're going to give me a
jar of cockroaches or something.
It must be parsley. I would not eat parsley for anything.
What is it?
No way! Cannot! I knew it!
I actually guess it.
I cannot even eat that shit, hello, I will just vomit, please.
No! That's not going to happen, guys.
Fucking parsley sucks.
It should be eradicated from this earth.
This is abuse, I need to call MOM.
What is the number for MOM, I don't know cause I don't have internet.
But when I know...
Hello, Clicknetwork is abusing their employees.
Don't download their App.
Because you don't have the Internet to download it right!
Oh my god!
I guess my plan because I refuse to eat parsley, is to
drive out my car, park along the road, flag down a cab,
and then I will depend on him to navigate me.
Now I look like a freaking like a street-side prostitute. But okay.
He's stopping, he's stopping, that's great.
I will start by asking him whether he knows how to go Upper Boon Keng market.
Hello uncle, do you know how to go to Upper Boon Keng market?
Can I pay you $20, you drive to Upper Boon Keng market and my car just follow your car.
Yes! Yes, he got it. We can do it. Let's go guys.
I'm actually really surprised that the first uncle that I got actually knows how to go
and he didn't question the absurdity of this thing.
He was just really cool, he was just like oh okay can, no problem.
Hey hello, are we here?
I think we are at the wrong location. So I have to go down and tell the uncle
and I hope that he manages to get it.
Uncle I don't think is this one.
This is Upper Boon Keng?
Ya, next to it is Upper Boon Keng.
Next to it?
Ya. Oh okay.
So we are following his general direction of pointing here.
It looks like it maybe is that. No, it looks like a generic Hawker Center.
I do not know. I will ask somebody.
Is this Upper Boon Keng?
Okay, you know what the problem is, I don't even know how to get back to my car.
Is it here?
I think is here.
Okay, so I guess we are at the Boon Keng market but not at the Upper Boon Keng market.
But according to her, it is pretty easy to go.
But when she says turn left, her hand did this sign, right?
So that was right, so I'm very confused.
I will go and ask another person and I don't want to be sexist but I'll ask a man this time.
Where is my car?
Where's my car?
Y'all don't be mean. Tell me where my car is. Is it here?
I will walk more towards the car because I'm very confused when people say this and that...
yeah.
And I feel very angry. I gave the uncle $20 and I still don't know how to go
and he was so confident and like positive that he got the right place, but it is wrong.
Haiz...really fuck my life.
I don't know what to do guys.
Maybe I'll eat the parsley.
Maybe I eat a very very small sprig of it.
I will eat the parsley. Give it to me.
You didn't bring the parsley, did you?
Oh my god, why must you bring such a freaking giant jar of it!
Oh, uncle, uncle! Wait stop! No parsley!
Uncle is like it's wrong, let me save u.
Yes!
I don't need to eat the parsley!
I cannot believe that stop in the nick of time by the uncle who is still hovering here.
He could have gone around his merry way
and what are the chances that he would actually see us again after that.
That is so cool of him.
He's a swell guy.
Muacks, I love you uncle.
You are the best, you are a blessing on this earth.
You are the salt of the earth.
What is that!!!!
We are here! Upper Boon Keng Market and Hawker centre.
Yes. Bless you, uncle. Thank you, good job, you're amazing, I love you very much.
I reach Upper Boon Keng market now, I thought it was very famous and gonna be really bustling,
but since like most of the stores are closed but regardless, let's just eat lunch cause
it's getting late and I'm really hungry.
Alright so we just finished eating our lunch and my lunch sucks
cause I ordered some like white bee hoon and there is celery inside and I accidentally bit into it.
Not as bad as parsley but still it made me blehhh, like, vomit it out.
Usually, when I'm eating lunch, I will be swiping my phone,
kind of checking out messages, replying Whatsapp.
When I was ordering my food, it just felt so natural to
take out your phone and check your messages you know.
And it's just like killing me a little bit to not know what people are messaging me,
maybe scalli nobody messages me la but you know, it's just that you feel like you need to check you phone.
But I feel like so far, I'm surviving pretty okay without it.
But I feel that that is mostly because I do have the crew around with me and I can still talk to people.
If I'm alone, I think I'll feel much much much worst cause I'll be just bored out of my mind.
Right now I'm gonna try and navigate myself back home without using the GPS, I hope I can do it.
And without using a cab driver as well.
I am looking at my Google Maps now, maybe I can try to find my way back home hopefully.
So I'm here right now, I just need to go onto this white road, onto Bendemeer road
So once I'm around this vicinity, I should know how to go already.
For a super direction idiot like me, this is gonna be tough but
okay I think I can because it is just one road, one straight road, it's not that hard right?
Okay, no need to panic. I just need to make a u-turn.
Okay so it turns out,
it turns out that I can't see it from this map here but I can't turn right,
which means I need to go to that direction but I have to turn left.
But it's okay, I'll make a u-turn okay.
Okay okay okay... I need to...
go in the wrong direction, okay okay...
Make a u-turn, make a u-turn.
Oh this car is super speed.
Okay...
How to make a u-turn where?
Hmm, I don't like this.
Can I u-turn here?
Cannot u-turn here, okay.
Next one next one.
Okay okay okay... I think I can u-turn here I can do this.
Okay okay okay okay I'm on my merry way I just have to turn right here.
Oh no! Oh no! Why am I not on the correct road?
No no no wait, I went wrongly ha!
Anyway, we have sped past my house,
so I am not supposed to be on this road.
Nevermind, you know what, we will make a new plan
instead of going home now, I am going to try to go NUTC and buy some food to cook maybe at home
Okay, I'll cook a soup for myself. A nice healthy soup.
Okay got all my groceries, very very heavy, I think I went a little overboard in there.
From here I think I should have no problems going back I do drive here pretty often, before the days of RedMart.
But I wouldn't speak too soon because, with me, sense of direction is
the only constant is that it's constantly bad.
So I'm home now and I have some time before I have to go and pick Dash up from school.
So I guess in between I'll do some work. I don't need internet for that,
so I guess I'll go and do that now no more procrastinating.
Usually, when I'm asked to do work but not being nag, I will not do it until I'm being nagged to do it.
Usually, I will just be I guess a few days late until it's like...
people tell me cannot procrastinate anymore then I'll just go and do things la.
But yeah today, I'm being productive okay.
I just have to erase away the background.
Nowadays I typically used my phone to edit my pictures, I find that it's actually a lot easier.
So I am not done yet but almost there, I managed to cut out most of the chilli and the area around the hand.
But the rest is not cleanly cut out yet so I will continue this because I need to go and pick Dash now.
Hi...I got this naughty boy.
Alright, now I will continue to try to edit my photo while my son disturbs me from outside here.
So I feel kind of productive I guess I did finish quite a lot of the work that I'm supposed to do today.
I guess I should not have internet every day.
Okay next step I'm going to start cooking some stuff.
I am now currently going to make my soup.
We are making what is traditionally known as ABC soup which is just throwing a few
random things into the soup to make it nice like
potatoes and onions and carrot
and then on top of that, there is also pork in the soup.
Okay, you eat come.
I feel right, the secret to a good soup is to number one, make sure you don't have too much water,
and number two, make sure that the meat that you put into the soup is fatty enough.
I feel like that is essentially it.
I have here with me baby asparagus, very fine ones.
Just trying to make some little healthy snacks for the crew to eat.
All you have to do is to actually cut off the stems
because the stems can be a bit fibrous if you bite it, it's not nice.
Sprinkle some salt and some olive oil on the asparagus,
put it into the air fryer and let it cook for about five minutes and you'll be done.
It is evening now, so I think my prison time is going to be over soon.
But in the meantime, I'm waiting for the asparagus to cook
and I'm just very bored la and waiting for my soup to be ready.
So...I guess I'll go play a game that doesn't require any internet.
What is cute in Chinese Dash?
It's cutie(可爱).
Come here cutie, you are my cutie.
Apps that I used the most, I would say WhatsApp is probably the most because I quite actively
replying messenger, talking in the group chat and stuff like that.
Really?!? Really?? actively responding to messages??
Okay except for...except for work messengers which I sometimes will avoid.
Okay, I think the asparagus is done.
I'm just gonna put it here for everyone to try, I hope it's nice.
So I guess it's nightfall now, and I've gone through pretty much the whole of today without internet.
And I am getting a little bit paranoid that you know, people might be trying to contact me.
So I'm really anxious to get back to my WhatsApp and er
in the meantime, I don't know what Dash is doing, trying to dig up something that he wants us to fry for him.
I would say so far it hasn't really been that much of a torture
because I have had friends with me this whole time,
so people talking to me, I'm not that bored la.
I feel like if I'm alone at home, it would be worse.
What else is there to do, I guess until my jail time up, I will maybe teach Dash some spelling?
Dash, you want to come and do spelling or not? Come come come...
Piě, is this piě or nà?
Sekali(what if) I teach wrongly.
I have no internet to verify.
Oh my god! Yes!
The ban of the Internet is over Dash, now mama can use Internet, high five!
I finally got my internet back. Jail time is over and I am going to turn off my airplane mode now.
Bye-bye airplane mode, bye! Yay!!!
So I guess this is the first time in a really long time that I spent the whole day without internet.
Ultimately it wasn't that bad, I had quite an enjoyable day actually.
And it was quite an adventure. To me, my favourite part of the day was that
I didn't have to eat any parsley at all.
So luckily the taxi uncle saved me in the nick of time,
and it was just like oh my god.
I cannot believe I spot him right before I was about to eat the parsley.
I am now beginning to believe that he's a hired actor by the producers to put me on a journey.
The cons without internet is that...
like you really don't have some time to rely on, you don't really have a back-up plan.
And I think humans are in general really over-reliant on our electronics.
So I would say some of the pros for today is that I have learned
how to navigator myself home from Bendemeer.
And plus you know, without the internet distracting me, I got a lot more productive.
I did quite a lot of work today.
So we've come to the end of today's episode.
I hope you guys enjoy spending the day with me without the internet.
