love adele's personality!
Some Singaporean men get uncomfortable with girls who don't dress conventionally because they feel emasculated by it. I'm so glad that *not* dressing for the male gaze is gaining more traction. Same goes with makeup. Men still think that women dress up and wear make up FOR men lol but I'm so happy that millennials and Gen Z's have largely moved away from trying to be conventionally attractive for male validation. JUST DO YOU, GIRLS.
Who said men think that woman dress or wear makeup for men 🤭😄, omg... maybe next time u can correct the sentence , by saying a few of them
men dont think that way😂
you think men so free can think useless stuff like that? lol keep coping
nicholas just deadass rizzed up the viewers lolololololol
I guess in SG, conventional beauty is also largely based on the looks with the majority race like Leah mentioned. Minorities like me have a whole other struggle to deal with regarding these beauty standards. Eg: being called pretty for an Indian or you're dark but pretty. Always got the backhanded insults with it. Haha. Guess that's another topic to uncover in another epi! 😊
I cried really badly when I had cancer. Not bcos I had cancer, but bcos I’m so depressed from losing all my hair. Everyone judges, it’s a repetitive toxic cycle to explain and ppl do walk up to you to tell u ‘Why don’t you try this shampoo cos you no hair!’ I
I personally think before you even know the person’s story behind y she is looking like that, you shouldn’t even judge. Tbh, many Singaporeans are busybodies. lol
Love today's episode ❤ relatable and so supportive!
AHHHH everyone loves you adel!
She is the sweetest!!!
joie looks ESPECIALLY STUNNING in this episode omg ❤❤❤ i literally gasped and said aloud: omg she looks so chio.. DAMN GIRL

Dated someone who said I wasn't feminine enough. Said I shoud dress up and Im like "If you cant afford a sugar baby, dont try to build one'
You do you girl. ❤
I CACKLED WHEN ADEL SAID ZHENG GE PING 😂😂😂😂😂😂 WHY!!!!

On our way to get ZGP 👀
I’d say Loh Kean Yew has a bit of that Korean gd look 🏸🏸🏸.
adele is the best example of her scarify when i start scrolling tiktok time ...
please normalize the audio... compression required, volume fluctuates too much.
the ironic thing is that the more you use the lens of judging people based on appearance, the more you will invite people to do the same to you, and the more you will hang out / attract people with similar viewpoints. Unfortunately it also depends on industry, and i think these superficial viewpoints are esp prevalent in media. The mistake people like Leah make is that she thinks people in the media industry represent the entire world - they do not. But if she brings her media lens to interact with everyone else, she will attract people of similar vibes, or misconceive the intentions of others thinking they're all the same.
hahahah i actually commented on that thread about Q!!! she is damn pretty yo! dude is tripping!
#calledout
I like this guest, veli cute
Wah if that's not the way to use the lingo....
Can we do a gen z slang with Nicholas Yeam episode ?
I just wanna play a take a shot every time Q and Joie cringe game.
Hahahahahaha.
It really should be a game
Maybe in a future episode you can touch on why suicide/depression rates are significantly higher for males compared to females in Singapore
As a guy, happy to have more unisex clothing choices. The ladies section is almost always more interesting. Leah, tell me when you're at a bar I will buy you a drink 🙋
""Girls looking for guy clothes, guys looking for girls clothes"" errrrrrrrrrr. I mean like
Nic showing his age from the way he uses “rizz” 😂 A for effort still mannn
It's extremely telling 🙈
Somehow. The Singapore Top 1% guy came to mind when you guys spoke about having money can make someone confident enough to feel they're attractive 😂 he single handedly made the show unwatchable.
Most creative insult that I’ve been insulted with was from a small child who said to my face “you look better with your mask on.” 🥲 it was during Covid days and I still don’t think I’ve recovered from it.
