Woo hoo, we hit our 100th episode today! What a milestone! As we celebrated our 100th episode, we reminisced the old times and walked down memory lane, we got the Mings to play a trivia game to see how well they actually know their own podcast show and surprise, surprise!

We always hear our parents telling us "don't play too many games, it's bad for you!" ...but is it really? On this episode of Table Talk, the Mings sat down with gamer girl - Hanie, to talk and discuss the effects of gaming - the good & bad, does gaming actually promote real-life violence and finding the "balance". Share this episode with a friend or someone you know who'd benefit from this episode!

Have you ever wondered whether the person that you see online is the real and "authentic" version of themselves? Like are they really THAT funny as they perceive themselves to be online? Most often times than not, the version of the person that we see online is different than who they really actually are. On this episode of Table Talk, we invited the ever so talented and hilarious, Tata, to dip deeper into this whole topic together with the Mings of what it's like to be themselves while having an online persona. Aside from that, they also shared their encounters with meeting fans in the public, the struggles sometimes that they have to put up and also answered some of your assumptions about them!

Disclaimer: This podcast was recorded last week and just yesterday the government has amended some of the SOPs for Chinese New Year. Also, Ming Yue's mic died halfway hence the quality. We apologise about that. However, we hope you enjoy the podcast. Cheers! Every week, there's always something new to talk about regarding the MCO and SOPs, huh?

We're sure many of you must have heard about the recent 'blackface' issue that occurred last week regarding a local Chinese artist's music video. On this week's episode of Table Talk, we had Nandini from SAYS to join us on the pod to weigh in her thoughts on the whole 'blackface' issue, what's wrong about it and why it's NOT okay. We hope that you have something to 'takeaway' from this episode and share this podcast with a friend that you know would benefit from it!

DISCLAIMER: This podcast was recorded two days before the SOPs were changed for food delivery hours. Well, we would like to think perhaps maybe someone listened to our recording...

So... looks like we're back to where it all began. MCO 2.0, how did we get here again?!

"How do I start saving money?", "When do I start doing my savings?", "What do I do with my earnings?" "How do I even begin?!" As fresh graduates, these are questions that you may or may not have asked yourself and have pondered on when it comes to money. Especially during this pandemic, it's even more crucial than ever the way we start saving our money and how we manage our finances. It's never too late to start working on it hence we got the finance guru and expert, Suyin Ong, to join us at the table to give us tips and tricks on how we can start saving our money and going back to the basic fundamental of savings and investments. Share this podcast with someone you know would benefit from it! Suyin's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/SuyinOng26 Follow Suyin here: https://instagram.com/suyinvests

Happy New Year, fam! Wow. Who would've thought that we'll make it through 2020?! But we did. YOU did. Truly 2020 has left so much for us to reflect on and we thought that we should start off the year with an episode of reflection, gratitude and sharing what we look forward in 2021. And of course, we got our other bossman, Bryan, to join the Mings on this episode. Sit back, reflect with us and let us know what is the one thing that 2020 has taught you!

It's already the last episode of Table Talk for the year 2020!

Fighting, arguments, disagreements are all part and parcel of a relationship. Most times (if not, sometimes), it can get pretty ugly. Yikes. So, on today's episode of Table Talk, we got Adele and Naomi (the married and the currently-in-a-relationship rep), to join the Mings at the table to discuss on what is "effective fighting", what to do if you find yourself in another argument with your partner again and of course, some nuggets of wisdom that would probably leave you reflecting at the end of this episode ;) So, sit back (maybe tune in together with your partner? :P), get a notebook and we hope that you'll take away a thing or two from this episode! Thank you @imvvnwg for the topic suggestion!

"What do you do when you're in a job where there's really nothing much to do but it pays you quite well? Is it right to feel something's wrong about this job and want to change job?" was a question asked by a listener in our Instagram DM recently. We thought that there's no other better person to talk about this than Eugenie Chan herself, the Founder & Chief Angel & Chief Vision Officer of Suppagood PR. In this episode of Table Talk, we talk all thing everything about being an employee and an employer in a workplace, a shift in the way jobs are being perceived now and work-life integration! If you're at a crossroad with your current job, this episode is for you and we certainly do hope that you get a thing or two out of this episode!

Creatives and clients. We all know the many downsides and uphill battles the many things that creative faces when it comes to a client project. Payments, demands, disagreements... it's all part and parcel of being a creative. In this episode, we got Kim who is a creative designer and illustrator herself to share with us what went down with her recent client job. Together with Ming Han and Melissa Campbell, we sat them down together to talk about the many red flags for creatives, what should aspiring creatives do and what to do when it comes to payment between clients. If you're a creative or an aspiring creative yourself, this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode of the Table Talk Podcast, we dive deep into the topic of what makes us humans—Emotions. Are we emotional individuals?

Tune in as we are joined by guests Bella and Samantha to discuss the core of what drives our emotions today.

People say "be yourself" but actually, to what extent can we be ourselves? Are we allowed to show that we're moody at our workplace? Is it acceptable to be a joker and act “wild” at a workplace?
