Wow....I'm Singaporean and I didn't know that was the whole idea behind a staycation. I've also always wondered why Singaporeans would go for a staycation in SG, paying hundreds of dollars for a hotel stay. Generational difference, I guess.
I'm older (Australian) with two children (boy and girl) of similar ages to the group. We always told them they could bring dates back, sleep over, do whatever, as we felt this is safest. One time it was apparent that my son had a girl stay over for several nights. I finally got to meet her one morning on my way out to work and she seemed lovely. When I got home from work that evening I was introduced to a different girl who, I was informed, had now moved in and was living with us!! Would this happen in Singapore? That lasted almost a year then my son almost immediately moved in with a different girl and her mother. Again about a year and then he started bringing another quite young girl back to our house. Shortly thereafter they married and have given us three grandkids.
I think there's a sub error at 4:37, it should be 'hawker centres' instead of 'art centre' right? Doesn't really make sense in the context otherwise Another sub error at 5:32, should be 'shorts and t-shirts' instead of 'shirts and t-shirts' 😅 At 20:33, it should be 'away from your family' instead of 'with your family'
Why does TSL always have mic & sound issues? You would think after so many years of experience, they would have nailed it by now, yet their videos are often plagued with sound issues. What is up with this sound quality -_- bad mic set up, couldn’t continue watching.
At timecode 5.31, when Amandine says forget your shirts and t-shirts, two animated graphics pops up from the bottom but it's a red box that says Media Offline. is that on purpose or did the asset files get shifted from your Premiere Pro folders?
LOL... These hosts must must be too young to know that this "Anywhere also can" culture has been in Singapore since forever. Never seen or heard of the shaking cars at East Coast Park??
It`s 21st century and still stuck at parents` approval who you should have a relationship with. That`s a child talking not an adult. Of course, you have to have filial piety; otherwise parents will sue you for Parents Maintenance Act.
Coz asian respect their elderly and family bond come 1st..ur partner become 2nd @non in the list at all sometimes.. and from a mom N dad views,they evaluate better than their own son/daughter.. I dont think non-asian people understand the family approval things
I have watched many European shows where ‘family approval’ does come into play - especially when your family has $$$$. I’m sure there will be French parents who would not approve their children marrying a Muslim refugee immigrant.
