Question 1

I wish I had applied for a part time job at a ramen resturant! I'm sure that I would be able to learn how to make a delicious pork broth ramen and barbequed pork bowl. Making a burnt miso ramen soup has been something that I have always wanted to learn!

Question 2

I lost contact with my best friend from primary school in Singapore. He joined the army and I moved to another school without asking his contact details. Facebook and Instagram was not prevalent at that time!

Question 3

I watched an Ed Sheeran concert back in 2018. There were too many people and the speakers just didn't sound good. My friends also thought that Ed Sheeran sounds much better in recordings. He is not a great showman. It ruined the whole concert and I felt like I just wasted hundreds of dollars.

Question 4

I regret buying an iPhone X when it first came out. It was Apple's flagship phone at that time, but I realized that the Huawei P series had better specifications and cost much cheaper. I decided to sell the phone at GEO and lost quite a lot of money.

Question 5

There was a movie called "Riddick" that I watched back in 2014. The protagonist of this movie is the very well-known Vin Diesel, however, the storyline and filmmaking were just terrible. I left the movie theatre with a bad taste in my mouth.

Question 6

There was a person who I met at university who couldn't stop arguing. We were talking about the concepts nationality, ethnicity, and race. This person was very narrow-minded and neglected everyone else's opinion!
