Description

“Paiseh or not paiseh?” That is the question! Are Singaporeans embarrassed of our Singlish accent? We dive into how our unique ways of speaking helps us bond (and sometimes divide). In this episode, join multilingual grassroots leader Laksha Mehta and etymology buff Caitanya Tan, as we discuss whether code-switching might just be our hidden superpower when it comes to building connections. #PauseNListen #Singlish #Accent #SingaporePodcast #CommunityStories ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

We Found The SECRET to Gen Zs’ Loneliness?!?! ft. Zhin Sadali

Are Gen Zs really the loneliest generation… or are we just more honest about it? In this episode, three youths from different walks of life unpack what loneliness feels like today — from being surrounded by people but still feeling unseen, to the pressures of expectations, comparison, and growing up in a hyper-connected world. We also explore how Gen Zs in Singapore are redefining success, relationships, and what it means to live a “good life” — beyond titles, timelines, and societal pressure. Maybe we’re not lost. Maybe we’re just choosing differently. #PauseNListen [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/pausenlisten] #GenZ [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/genz] #Community [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/community] #SingaporePodcast [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/singaporepodcast] #communitystories [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/communitystories] #Lonely [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/lonely] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
