"I first got to know Renae when I swiped her on Tinder AGES AGO!"
-(PD) Hi guys! -Hi!
(PD) Do you all wanna guess what you are going to do today?
-No lah! -Aiya some secretive shit again...
-I'm gonna guess first impressions. -I think so too.
- (PD) And you are right! - Ah! Oh no!
Confirm for mine it's going to be "annoying" that kind of thing.
-They for sure say my ass big. -They're just going to say I'm a b***h.
Amanda just has a juicy bottom.
(PD) OH MY GOD!
What is my first impression of Renae?
Do you think I'm a Goondu (Stupid)?
No! Goondu is probably Qing.
I remember Qing was the blur kind. When I talk to her, she would be like "Huh?"
I remember she was quite friendly but she was quite quiet.
I didn't know she was such a sexual being.
She's very open with her sexuality. You can talk to her about anything, like boys...
-Not boys. Men. Men. Can you say men? -About men.
The interaction that really explains our entire friendship
is during Circuit Breaker when I kept messaging her
asking her what to do about this guy.
And after she council me for 4 days straight, my conclusion was
"Uh okay. Thanks for everything you said but I'm still gonna call him."
YAH!
I was on the interview panel that interviewed him.
He came into the interview (looking) very proper.
-He wore smart shirt and tie kind of thing. -Shirt and tie.
And I was like "Okay very serious guy."
After that right, there was a very huge disconnection.
We accepted him already, then the first week of his internship
he was damn noisy on the TSL chat. Every single thing he also reply.
Somebody says something, then he'll be like "Wah so cool!"
From the 'keep replying' kind of guy he was, I don't know what happened because nowadays he doesn't even reply.
This guy damn smart. His name card photo is him holding a box and his head like that.
Basically it's thinking out of the box right?
The I was like "WAH THIS GUY!"
Then he's in my team?
Starting I was intimidated because I thought "This guy damn smart."
No lah...
After working with her the first few times, I still remember
she got this energetic small girl energy.
You go and watch 'The Start Up', her character is literally just her method acting.
"How old are you? Where do you study? Where do you stay?
Are you Singaporean? Are you rich? Where did you get this?!"
It's like that. That is her.
The first time I got to know of your existence,
is before she even step into the office.
-Aiyo. -There was this meeting right.
The big boss was like, "Here are our new hires coming in next year."
And there are photos (of the new hires).
So I zoomed in on this one photo of this lady named Amanda.
- And she looked so... - What photo did he use?!
They probably ripped it from your Instagram.
From my Instagram?!
But you hen chio (very pretty) leh.
When she really joined the company right, I was like, "Wow she's so tall and well dressed."
From certain angles I see her butt then I'm like,
WAHHHH
What a treat! But I never thought we would become friends.
"My first impression, he had this air of seriousness and focus around him."
Mandon. Do not laugh. I do not condone laughing.
"He was very proper with his dressing and hair all the time."
"Then after he open his mouth, all these things become meaningless."
"Because he is the funniest guy I know in TSL."
I quote, "Once I open my mouth, everything became meaningless."
Okay come on lah. A bit of seriousness cannot meh. "Meaningless" is quite a harsh word.
-Very harsh you know. - Yeah you don't even need to
see Hafeez in real life to know that he is one of the funniest guys in TSL.
Just watch the videos lah.
-Maybe this person never watch TSL videos! -This person never watch TSL videos that's why right?!
This time I'm serious because you don't support TSL. You something wrong!
" First impression he was this sporty and very extroverted guy."
"In real life more uncle vibes."
I am quite offended by the 'uncle'!
I'm the cool uncle for that matter. I'm the one that teach your kids how to swear.
I don't know if the uncle vibes come from my hobbies, because I have to admit
I have uncle ass hobbies man.
I like vinyl records.
Yeah.
-I like fountain pens. -Uh huh.
-Film cameras. -Mmhmm.
And I mean hiking.
-I'm a hippie right? -Everything that a uncle has, he has.
Yeah man. But please don't call me uncle outside.
I will smile awkwardly and then go home and cry.
"At first I thought he was Bolin with that hair."
Bolin?
-What the heck? -WHAT THE HECK YOU SEE ME IN?!
How you see? You close two eyes to see?
Bolin, before you see him you can hear him already.
That's how you differentiate.
But he is more refined than Bolin.
"I thought he was a Japanese Kawaii boi boi who loves anime and Japanese things."
-That's not wrong. -Not wrong, except the Kawaii part.
They have never seen me speak in Hokkien with Bolin when we are on shoot only.
Actually yeah, that's one thing I have to tell the viewers or whoever (aka Mandon's future gf).
At first glance, Mandon's also very proper.
He carries himself quite well, but when you talk to him he's also quite a cockster.
Oh!!!
Terrible! F*** my life!
-I see the first sentence I want to kill myself already. - I want to see!
-Wait I read it to you then you react. -Okay.
"I first got to know Renae when I swiped her on Tinder AGES AGO!"
FYI it's not Rainier.
"Then when I came in she wasn't in TSL."
"Then after that when she came back, I was quite hyped to finally see who this lady is."
"And true with the profile and the talk, she was exactly what I expected her to be."
"Eloquent, hilarious and then ironically holy about her adventures,
especially in front of her mom. I'm glad she found Rainier.
Just stop finding each other in front of us. My hair can only stand so many times before falling out."
-Can you guess who it is? -I don't know.
Okay. He's also in a current TSL Ship.
-John John ah? -Yeah.
-Why you so shocked? Why you so shocked? -Huh?!
-John John? -Do we not seem like a likely pairing?
Uh no. Not at all. It's like water and oil.
Wait, am I the water or the oil. I don't wanna be oil!
"From his Tinder photos, my impression of him was that he is a low-key f**kboy who likes photography.
Which of course was very much my type lol."
I know who this is already.
"Upon rejoining the company and working with him. I realized he's a incredibly down to earth chap
who works hard and extends friendliness to everyone around him. No f**kboy vibes here."
Thank you Renae.
Wah y'all match leh!
I tell you, it's such a blast from the past.
It was when he was skinny and sporty.
So now you're saying he's fat and "nua" (slacker).
I saw his profile and it said "Creative at The Smart Local."
Because I was no longer at TSL, I was in university,
so my plan was to swipe and be like, "Oh I also worked at TSL last time."
But after we matched, he was already like, "Hey I know who you are. You used to work at TSL."
We just chat then we stop chatting.
We matched each other but we didn't talk. It was one of those just Tinder things, that's why I very vaguely recall it.
To be honest leading up to my first day back at work I was scared that it might be awkward between us.
But it wasn't. When I rejoined the company I was like "Eh!". Then he was like "Eh!".
My memory is terrible in case you don't know. I vaguely recall matching Renae sometime back.
That's why when she rejoined TSl I was like, "Eh! Damn familiar."
I just cannot wrap my head around the fact that John John and Renae used to...
Used to what?! We didn't do anything!
-Don't anyhow say ah! -Oh as in like...
Guys! So before the time of #Rainae,
#Johnae actually existed okay!
Imagine if it was #Johnae and #Raidria.
I mean that one already have because of Alternate Beginnings.
-This one a bit shorter. -Wah this one I love.
I need to, I need to, I need to... wait.
"First impression was gangster."
-What gangster? -Actually that one not gangster, that one Ah Beng.
"First impression was gangster but actually he's a funny person that likes to joke around."
You know why I love this or not?
I like to make people laugh and everything, but at the same time I also have this secret urge to look fierce.
One of the questions I really like to ask people is,
if I'm outside and you don't know me, I never open my mouth and I just walk around,
you think I look gangster or not?
Okay I give my gangster face, you let me know.
-Why are you laughing and holding in?! -That build up man.
Okay remember I'm outside, in the train, sitting down.
(PD) Wait you're doing it already?
WALAO CHAR SEW!
Okay actually this is true lah.
"First impression is a quite elegant and mature person.
In real life, she is super auntie and weird and not elegant."
It's real! I'm quite auntie in real life.
"Not elegant", ya lah I'm not elegant. Since when am I elegant?!
In your photograph.
Beautiful, I love that.
This is actually something that someone said to me in person before.
So last time Jess Ong and Joyce,
on one of the days when we were walking out of the office, they said
"Actually the first time I saw you I was very scared because you looked like the very no nonsense at work kind of person."
-But you are the nonsense. -Yah I am the nonsense.
I feel like the expectation is Swan Lake,
but in real life is Donald Duck.
-I don't know why people have that impression of me. Is it because I used to be from another company? -No it's just...
I feel like if I see you on the MRT I'll also be like 'OL!' (Office Lady)
OL?!
-At Shenton Way?! -No as in like the
the hot kind.
Where got hot kind? There's no hot OL.
Not the auntie eh. The hot one in the bodycon dresses.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'll accept that.
Wow it's all about my face man.
"Her face changes really fast.
She can be laughing like shit, then the next moment she can pull out a b***h face."
-It's very true. -Is it?!
We had those random conversation, where she laugh and laugh,
then after that to make a point or when someone makes a joke, she'll be like
"Eh what you trying to say?"
-That's why I love acting so much. - Actually that is quite true leh.
Like really, okay I give you an example. When we were filming Alternate...
-(PD) It just happened. -Yah I purposely did it.
Like I was saying in 'Alternate Beginnings' also.
In between breaks she's okay but when "Cameras rolling!" gets called out, straight away she's like...
The face change into...
Damn hardcore but damn cool.
Okay you try angry.
Sad.
Excited.
This one I cannot. I always laugh at this.
Why your face trembling?
I just don't want to say the first word.
-What letter does it starts with? -H.
H. Handsome.
Up.
What starts with 'H' that's better than handsome?
Hafeez!
Baiter!
First word is "HOT" with a...
Wah! Capital letter. This one not hot, this one HOT!
"But he also give me 24/7 gamer vibes so I wouldn't want him to be my boyfriend
because I won't get the attention I need."
If Mandon was your boyfriend, I'm sure he would give you all the attention you want.
He's the kind of guy where once he gets a girlfriend, whatever he does will be for the girl.
You know I play games a lot, but I also have a cat.
You know what my friend told me the other day? "Mandon you're a simp for your cat."
Oh wow. That's either a new low or a new high.
"Early morning, you wake up you feed your cat. Then you play with your cat."
"Then you still take the chair and put it beside you so your cat can watch you do work."
"Lunchtime you feed your cat before you feed yourself."
Just imagine whatever Mandon said, you replace the word 'cat' with 'girlfriend'.
Every morning he wakes up, he will feed the girlfriend first.
He will put a chair beside him so his girlfriend can watch him do work.
He will feed the girlfriend first before feeding himself.
To all the girls out there, find Mandon and girlfri...
Eh no, be Mandon's girlfriend. Be Mandon's girlfriend.
If he wants. It's all about consent.
"Everyone tell me she's very interesting and erm... jokes quite sexual.
She turned out to be pretty much exactly what was described,
but didn't expect her to be quite an introvert.
Both first impression and now. She is very real."
-Awww. -Yeah she is very real.
I'm very introverted, that's true.
Oh I want to know
what do you mean when you say "Everyone tells me she is very interesting and jokes quite sexual."
Who has been publicizing this about me?
I don't like it.
Basically in the company wide group chat right,
anytime there's an opener for you to say a dirty joke,
I will get a lot of private messages which says, "HAHA I know you want to say right."
Then I'm like, "Yes!"
But I'll get fired!
But I do appreciate her openness. It's always nice to...
No not that!
Her openess so like you know everytime she's...
I appreciate... I don't want to say already.
I'll keep it close. I'll keep it close.
I wanted to say a nice thing about Renae but then she kept on "Hehe heh heh".
And then I forgot already.
I've heard of most of these first impressions before, so nothing extremely shocking.
Starting I thought all the first impressions I would give of is that I'm seriously doing my work.
But then I realize everything is very superficial.
Yah sia.
I'm just kind of glad that my idea of myself is quite true to what people think of me.
Honestly I was quite scared because I thought a lot of people will say that they thought that I was a b***h.
My resting b***h face is really on extreme levels.
I don't understand why people will say she got very big resting b***h face when she works.
How else do you want us to look like when we are typing on our computer?
And then when I'm walking alone in the office...
Go to the pantry and eat...
Top up water...
-Waiting for bus... -Taking temperature...
