The reality of having a Singaporean boyfriend

[@MaxChernov]

Would you live in Geylang?

[@rrhhggtt]

yeah, why not. its almost city central.

[@idoit5005]

Yes at least once in a lifetime because it’s cool to tell people that

[@kingbolo4579]

I do.

[@Shanghai_Knife_Dude]

lor 22， man of culture must visit.

[@ashmarsim]

Geylang now is a far cry from what it used to be but I prefer the East Coast area.

[@matthowe5193]

lovely to listen to her. Appreciate her sensitivity, down to earth attitude, and openness towards Singapore. I lived in Geylang in until our area was redeveloped (Lor 29). Never thought it was a bad place to live in. It's just that I get comments from other people.

[@Sashafrank_comedy]

Thank you so much. And I agree, Geylang is a great choice of place to live.

[@bluepixie7737]

Singapore is so safe even if you stay in the red light district. Geylang has everything , cheaper rent (compared to other city fringe areas) near East Coast bars and restaurants - 3km to Tanjong Katong etc Suntec. People should rly explore that area more

[@shaun_seow]

That's true and the rental is not cheap. Probably the safest red light district in SEA.

[@RaseYourProbs]

Agree with everything except rental, the rentals per square foot is actually quite high.

[@aniraz90s]

She's so charismatic and fun. I'm glad she's happier now. 😊

[@aero.l]

And she doesn't even look 40.. I thought she was like 33 or thereabouts.

[@Sashafrank_comedy]

Very very kind of you both to say. Thank you ❤

[@christine8203]

@@aero.lAgree…she doesn’t look a day over (strangely…) yes, 33! Bears a passing resemblance to Ms Gillian Anderson.

[@kenzone]

Actually Geylang is probably one of the safest places in Singapore, not that anywhere else is unsafe, but the amount of CCTV monitoring, the numbers of people at anytime of day or night, and the 24-hour food scene make it especially super safe.

[@karenchan1663]

It is very true! CCTVs are everywhere on the main road including the side lanes, and corners. You can hide, but cant run away! If one get into trouble with the laws, in less than 24hrs, one gets caught just as quickly.! Women knows very well, its safe to walk the streets alone even at wee hours! We cant say the same up north! Welcome to Singapore!

[@Sashafrank_comedy]

Agree! It’s one of the things I love here so much.

[@HenryHoe]

I guess it's safe because there's people everywhere.

[@elliotw.888]

Also police know stuff happens around there so they're pretty vigilant around the area. you can probably spot quite a few police cars if you walk around

[@jaytan8888]

it's true , geylang is a magical place. All the good times that will last you a lifetime of memories. The food and crowd there is simply amazing

[@meesanunab4811]

I honestly believe she needs her own channel .absolutely love her,shes such a darling and eloquent yet low key humble at same time ❤

[@binghermes]

The Singaporean expression "to send you home" seems to be a direct translation of the Chinese expression "送你回家" (which applies to intimate friends and close acquaintances)

[@Sashafrank_comedy]

So interesting! I had no idea! Now I know 😊

[@hzg8943]

Gorgeous, sensible & down-to-earth. ❤

[@Sashafrank_comedy]

Very kind of you. Thank you.

[@philippang07]

Heartily seconded!

[@philippang07]

Great vid. Thank you. Wish you a PR eventually Sasha! All the very best and you’re welcome to stay in Singapore if it rocks your boat. We are hardly perfect but at least we feel safe on the streets as our our families. Everything runs like clockwork. It’s neat and generally clean. Lovely parks. Lovely food. Hot humid weather. A tad small but that’s what the world’s for, to travel through. Singapore will always be home for us.

[@junkeefe6074]

Well said, Sasha! Thks for yet another great interview Max!

[@eunagiii]

20:19 is where i know WHY she's a comedian, she's so witty and quick! also she doesnt LOOK 40!!! When she said she had been building her career for 20 years I was thinking you can't have been working in a bank since you were 10, can you?

[@weimingyap9382]

What a amazing person she’s, luv every little bit of her vibes 👍

[@lawrencegomar5737]

I don't have face blindness, but I cannot remember names, which in my line of work is a problem, so I developed my facial expressions to always convey the idea of recognition so people always feel like remember them. I never have to say a name that way.

[@hanhuisg]

[@ben.s.s]

No wonder I love both Max and Sasha, we are the same age 🎉

[@danriickseah4539]

[@tze-liangfoo7806]

Geylang is the the Real Chinatown in Singapore... the food is authentic, always interesting and you can feel the vibrancy of the place...

[@hrishi-s]

19:58: My favourite Part begins at the end. Other favourite parts, I am glad there is at least one woman in this world who thinks she is not impressed with your money or talent. She is impressed with your Humbleness.

[@jeremyemilio9378]

[@fooiyoh]

Totally agreed it's safe to walk around any time of night in Singapore, unlike in Malaysia and India there's crime awaiting everywhere. Glad I've migrated and never looked back. Thank you Singapore! Great interview.

[@junhaoyap8095]

Sasha speak so well, thanks for inviting her~

[@chikodiamond2355]

The ones who grew up poor..finding his/her own success are the ones i respect the most..stay humble always

[@HappilyRetiredYoung]

Geylang is a hidden gem! It's at a convenient location close to town and PLQ & Paya Lebar Sq. MRT stations are all within short walking distance. The environment is really vibrant and full of culture/history and best of all, easy to find nice cheap food almost anywhere. A goto place for expat renters as rent there is very reasonable for now.

[@JasonLee-s8z]

age just a number and passion make you stay better and young for each day. I like this cute lady (Sasha Frank🌻) with positive mindset💕 >>From SG chinese guy😁

[@dank2476]

It is through face blindness that makes her a good comedian.

[@ejsoh5291]

Wow thanks for introducing Sasha!

[@aero.l]

Racial stereotypical jokes are fine in the right context such as comedy shows. Generally, Singaporeans don't get offended easily.

[@fromthethrone]

I like that commercial that you made, for the sleep mask 😊

[@OnMusicSoon1]

I read something about Brad Pitt having face blindness recently and thought it is just something far away in hollywood A listers circle. And hearing it in maxx channel makes it become so real and nearby

[@THEremiXFACTOR]

In Singapore people act like Geylang is some kind of 'ghetto' underworld type of area. 😅 It's actually very normal and compared to parts of big cities in other countries it's very tame.

[@johnchang1226]

Max is handsome. How could you not recognise him?

[@ZackZainal]

There are more polcams (police camera) in geylang red lights than any other singapore streets.

[@liteo57]

Everytime a friend informs me that he/she is divorced, I congratulate them. It's because they get another opportunity to live their lives but differently the second time around. I always say take the time to know yourself and not rush into another relationship.

[@greaterbayareahero1401]

No she is not happier now. She wants a good partner. She will agree with me.

[@Sashafrank_comedy]

@@greaterbayareahero1401I am much much happier now 😊

[@philippang07]

Indeed! People get so caught up in having to choose a side or trying to see things from one angle only.

[@HanY-gf3sx]

A hunter saw a hungry crocodile was searching for food and ate a deer trying to cross a river, but it was still hungry. Then while waiting, it saw a pig approaching the river to drink some water, and the hunter thought RIP to the pig. But to his surprise, the pig managed to drink water from the river and left unscathed. Why?

[@Bunnylovecrypto]

She lost me when she said she we had the best food and for the art scene, we don’t have much influence or exposure to art, sports or music because our government always push for academic.. our food proportions are getting smaller and getting expensive and not as tasty as last time in the older days.. so she definitely lost me.. and I also don’t really enjoy Singaporeans sense of humour.. I’m local but I do like sarcasm and witty jokes which are really something I don’t hear frequently here.. so I turn to Korean or American shows for the humour

[@Sashafrank_comedy]

Sorry that you feel like that. I am speaking from my own opinions and experience. Everyone has a different view.

I used to live in Europe for almost 20 years before returning to Asia and what I noticed is that Singaporeans (and Asians in general) dont understand sarcasm and irony. Many seems to take things literally and at its face value.....which some times lead to arguments instead of laughing about it.....

[@M.B.1001]

Well, you may not have scratched deep below the surface ;-). Singaporeans can be brutally honest about things when you get to know them, and that honesty itself is quite humourous. Especially when it comes to "forbidden" joking about things that are not politically correct by Western standards.

[@austinreise]

Irony. I can be slow when I don't have the context. I do struggle with sarcasm when directed at my community, friends or me. Should I feel offended? Did you want me to feel offended?
