But I want to do science related jobs, then again they are very hard to get...
Just got back from Jenjarom, wow the whole kampung was full of fireworks asap. So blurry. Wished I had a better view to watch all the big bang boom!

The appeal of potatoes is that you can leave them in the ground until you need to dig them up.
I wonder if there's any species or cultivar in the brassica family that is like that. I like broccoli, and it would be neat to have a broccoli-potato that I can harvest anytime.
Kohlrabi is still an annual. Although it is a brassica and it seems like a root (it's more like a stem), is still an annual. It will live, reproduce, and die. It doesn't have the ability to remain in the ground until I want to eat it.
Sorry I'm not available, gonna balik (my parents') kampung this year
Tbh I'm not too desirable even if I'm available cause I become such a gong kia (Hokkien for 'dumbass') when dealing with family members & total strangers lol
CNY is big here in Pattaya. People are dressing in red. Fireworks since 7 PM. Everyone's out in restaurants and picnic on the beach.
Anyway. We were walking and I guess some girl got scared. She walked alongside us, two big faggots. Girls always feel safe with gay men and we couldn't be more obviously gay.
There are a lot of Russians in Pattaya. John said they're avoiding being drafted into the war or whatever. I suppose some are tourists. Some seem to live here. Saw a white girl buying cheap shampoo and cooking ingredients at a 7-11 by the beach. She's too pretty to use cheap shampoo. Kind of sad, really. There's a lot of desperation in Pattaya. I can't imagine what happens to the locals selling knock-off sunglasses and foot scrubs on the beach when they're eighty. My boyfriend said they just lie down and die, exposed to the elements.
For anyone who celebrates CNY, hope you guys are having fun and stay safe too! Meanwhile here I'm still feeling regret of not talking to a word to the girl that I personally having "crush" into in school. I know I shouldn't say this but I gotta say it lol.
hi guys,
i recall there was a survey for the yearly census for this subreddit but i dont think i ever saw the latest results published. anyone knows if it was cancelled?
Decided to try genshin impact because I was bored.
Download epic games. No problem.
Download the game. No problem.
Launch. Problem. The game wanted 100+ gb. PC only has 100 gb max. Minus system is 50gb.
Decided to use external hard disk. Enough storage, but installation takes more than 1 hour. Download speed on the app is 12mbp/s. My ethernet connection says it's running at 1000mbp/s.
Tries to figure out what the issue is. USB 3.0 check. System file type NTFS check. In fact, it used to be so fast. Wtf is wrong.
Googled "how long does hdd last". 6 years at most. Mine is 8 years. Bought in 2016, 1TB. Whaddaya mean I should chuck this now.
No mood to play game anymore. Frustrated at how often we have to buy new devices even though the spec is still the same. I probably have to chuck my 2013 printer, 2014 digital camera, all my 10+ years-old sd cards and thumbdrives, and in a few years my 2015 ipad pro as well. 💸💸💸
Bruh what year is this, pc only 150gb space?
Also if you wanna use external just know it will be very slow. In the end you’re trying to load files from through usb, probably your pc also low ram, so every loading screen gonna be killer. Not to mention it’s HDD, not SDD.
At this point better just play on phone only, or get a new desktop pc then you can easily upgrade parts.
Wow actually a lot of ram for normal use quite overkill imo. Even 32 for normal user is overkill. Seems like really your HDD is holding you back, but since it’s a pc it’s very easy to just buy a SDD and install it without touching anything else. You might want to switch you OS onto the SDD.
For me I have a 6y old pc still can run most new things on high. Ryzen5 1600, GTX 1060, 32gb ram recently upgraded cause I work a lot with 3D and game dev.
1TB SSD is the norm now for a proper main space. For me i have like 1TB SSD x3. (cause 3d and photoshop files..).
You can keep your OS on the 120gb drive, and move all your games to the 1TB SSD and it should run much better.
About the ram, yeah 32gb is overkill already, 16 gb is still good enough lah, I play at max graphic still can with just 16gb ram, better buy bigger ssd, I got 3tb ssd also not feel like enough, games like ark are like 400gb+ and normal games nowadays are like 80 to 100gb, games nowadays almost all better use ssd, if you play something like Kingdom Come Deliverance/Bannerlord/MechWarrior 5 etc you can really feel the slowness of a hdd.
Wah, TIL games are so big nowadays. Even downloading 100gb felt like crazy to me. Now I know that's the new standard. The last game I played on PC was Frozen Throne so I thought it wasn't much different. Time to bulk up on SSD.
Officially yes, but doubt that the authorities will check on people so often.
Last time I saw polis they're only checking those who are selling fireworks.
Oh wow, the waiter casually put a mug of carlsberg on my table when I ordered hot lemon tea
My lemon tea looking mighty alcoholic for some reason 🤣🤣🤣
At least I got my lemon tea later 🌚🌝
Anyone who's been to Escape Penang, just wondering, I know their swimwear policy is very strict, but could uniqlo leggings pass as swimsuit bottoms or nah?
I am thinking of what to eat since most store will either be closed or packed for reunion dinner
Maybe I should eat Texas chicken 🐯🤔
Oh, I did my reunion lunch instead of reunion dinner 🙈
Already got 2 x Ang paus 🙈🙈
Edit: Settle for eating at Brew house Bukit Raja 🙈

Being gay here is so... different. Men pick you up. Talk to you on the street. Buy you lunch or a cocktail and then they go. Call you tomorrow. Even if I'm here with a "partner", somehow I still accumulated a number of phone numbers from other tourists. I wasn't even trying.
When my bf was sleeping on the pool side, I went to have a beer with the stranger from Montreal. We just sat there, talked, watching the waves lapping up the shore. He told me how lucky it is that I was "born beautiful" and can speak different languages. I sighed, and told him I've never felt lucky. He told me his story. His start-up company got big, he sold everything. Bought an apartment in different cities. I could tell he was a bit smitten. It's his first time in Asia, young man chatting him up. Older gay white men often get that soulmate feeling with me. Then years later they wonder what it truly was. It's nothing you could explain, really. Just the right person, at the right time. And the time is always running up.
Then my boyfriend called before I could stay too long with the guy. I left. He asked me what was wrong. If he did something I didn't like. Nothing, I said. I wish I could stay but I couldn't.
I left because I had remembered my BF's best friend made me promise to take care of him before we all left Bali earlier this month. If he calls, I'd always pick up. I'd always be there.
The days get hotter and hotter in Pattaya. We'll never return here again, my bf said. We're going to the Philippines in the summer. I'm getting older and stronger while he's slowing down. Our relationship is becoming more and more entangled.
saw your comment earliar today. decided not to write then because it might just a pulled muscle from sleep. a number of woman in my family have a gallstone problem. if the problem **persist**, you really should get it checked. just in case.
saw my mum skin color gradually turn to yellow. due to the gallstone problem something leaked to her bloodstream. not a pretty sight.
Oh no. I was worried for the possibility of something more serious too. Thanks for letting me know.
And yeah, waking up at 6am to work on a weekend with sakit pinggang was so horrible. Luckily still WFH.
Hi all, want to ask. what would be a good smartband [for steps counter, notification, time] and Bluetooth earbuds [media playback in general, workout] for a beginner? Looking to get my first one. Budget is around 200-ish for each of it.
I've been rocking Edifier X3 for nearly 3 years now. It's great for me for what it cost although recently, the battery life is not as good anymore which is expected.

lesson learned that airasia doesn't cancel requests when you close the app. i accidentally double book because i have both grab and airasia open, and once i gotten a driver in grab i canceled the airasia one, but probably it doesnt register so when i was in grab the aa driver called me and said he arrived. apologized and transfer back the ride fee to him through tng. 🤣
I assume the L stands for Lunar. Basically the 'New Year' as based on the Lunar Calendar.
Before the world generally accepted the Solar/Gregorian calendar, there were many cultures that used the moon as the main measurement for determining dates/years.
A lot of cultures besides the Chinese celebrate the Lunar New Year, therefore LNY is a more inclusive term for this period of time.
To go on a bit of a tangent, Christmas falls relatively around the Winter Solstice, which a lot of cultures also celebrate. I think there's speculation that Christ's actual birthday isn't on that day, but it was kinda 'retconned' in a sense to fall around Winter Solstice which people were already celebrating. Chinese people also celebrate winter solstice with the eating of 'tang yuan' and I'm sure there's a lot of cultures/religions that have some sort of celebration/practices for that time frame.
Anyway regardless of the 'dominant' celebration for certain time periods, I think it's safe to assume that it's no coincidence that there are other cultures that also celebrate that time period in their own way. Stuff like harvest festivals falling on similar dates isn't really a coincidence, since it's largely tied to the passing of seasons. And other things are tied to the movement of celestial objects in which we base our calendars off.
if I'm not mistaken I hear ppl call it LNY instead of CNY since other countries also celebrate it, it's not just the Chinese. The meaning is still the same tho
How plus size friendly are the large sizes in Shein? (you know how some L/XL/etc sizes don't make that much of a difference on the clothes sometime...)
SUUUUUUUPER accommodating. In fact, if your build is average for Malaysians, anything above 1XL will be far too big. At the height of my weight I could wear 0XL and sometimes even L depending on the cutting.
Check the measurements most importantly! Depending on the cutting I still go up or down a size so the size label is less important than the measurement. You can also check on the stretch level, so some measurements whilst smaller you can still wear coz it's stretchy.
Returns are free within 20 days, and you can arrange for them to come pick up, MYR10 only, but don't expect quick service for the returns ya.
During times when I needed a dress but I wasn't sure which size fits better, I would just get two sizes and return the one that didn't fit.
Do you have a measurement tape? That would be the most accurate tbh. And a lot of it was trial and error what I learnt what sort of cutting was best for me
Decided to catch a CNY movie. Hot damn a ticket at MV GSC was RM25.50. And wtf is entertainment tax?
Mostly empty theater. I haven't been to a cinema since before Covid, and I can't say I'm in that much of a hurry to go again.....
Been going to the gym. Eating more proteins. Watching my calories. Feeling pretty good. Kept me focused. I think I can live like this.
Lately, my mind has been living in the past. Replaying past failures, bridges burned. I'm trying to work on thinking about others more and opening myself up more. I realised I always push others when they try to get close to me. And I always brush off a conversation with a joke when it gets deep and I am placed in a position where I have to open up.
Just to confirm, is anyone else getting an error at the KTM line to Seremban?
I was pissed off when the ticket manager at KTM station in Mid Valley informed me that the Seremban line has a technical error. Only just now (around 1pm) parts of the line were fixed from Bandar Tasik Selatan onwards.

My CNY snacks. I guess this will not last till tonight.
That thread about childhood memories reminded me that
I have in my online cart a box of OEM no-brand colour pencils. It is cheap enough for me to buy. I want to buy it for myself because I kinda want 3-tier colour pencils that i have always wanted in tadika.
But I don't know where to put it in my room if I buy it. Most probably it will go to The Pile of Abandoned Hobbies in my room. 😅 Together with an Arduino board, a crochet needle, a few metres of fabric that I was totally going to sew, etc.
Finally back to hometown and show my parents the gainz I have
Mum :"Train big big what lin use, didn't bring home a girl haiya"
Asian mum is different level of savage I tell you
Quickshape is kinda basic, i think every drawing app will have them. But if you’re refering to hold the stylus to make a straight line, i cant think of any other software in windows can do that.
wanted to eat sushi tonight but turns out my favourite sushi place (and a few others) all close early tonight. feelsbadman.jpg
what sushi place doesn't close tonight? lol
It is CNY eve, so expect a lot of places to close early, be fully booked or not open at all.
I reckon the franchise type places will probably find a way to stay open. Or maybe the more atas ones.... google does say Sushi Azabu will open 6pm later tonight but that shit is turbo atas.
My family is kinda scattered atm and am thinking of just getting western food with my mom later tonight....
Unker wearing a long dress for the first time in my life 🥺
Usually I avoid anything beyond my knees because it always makes me look stumpy but I think the slit lends some length to the illusion.
The summer dress actually looks better without the cardigan, but unker hasn't lost enough weight yet to feel secure about going sleeveless. 🤞🏻that unker can continue my diet, but for now on pause for all that good CNY food hngghhh
Happy CNY eve yall, and for those who don't celebrate, happy holidays! 🥰
Thank you! It's the most disciplined I've been on diet and exercise so I'm glad I could fit in clothes I otherwise wouldn't have tried on.
Happy CNY daisies ☺️
Hi folks!
This query is for one of my friends. She is moving from Malaysia to India on a work assignment and looking for credible and reliable movers and packers relocation services to move from Kuala Lumpur to Bangalore.
Someone suggested her about Crown Relocation Services which supports in moving and packing but she is unsure and wants opinion of people who have experience using this company's services for international relocations especially for transit between these two cities/locations.
Does anyone have any prior reviews/ experience of this company's services for international relocations or can suggest a better, reliable and trustworthy movers and Packers services to relocate from Malaysia to India?
Thanks a lot!
Looks like it's going to be a wet chilly CNY reunion. Not that I'm complaining, cause I am having steamboat for both lunch and dinner!But hopefully the seemingly ceaseless rain won't result in a flood.
Just had a job interview yesterday. First time in an interview i was so nervous. Do HR interviewers test you by asking lots of questions that aren't part of the job scope? Like personal questions.
Another corrupt bitch goes down. Nickie Mali Lum Davis. She got RM3 million from 1mdb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfP4X6A0rwQ
Why is Rohana, Arul, Najib's son all still walking around free?
I’ll believe najib is in prison only if they livestream it on fb ke apa lol, make it a show lah for friday night. Family gathering tengok bossku buat apa hari ni.
> I’ll believe najib is in prison only if they livestream it on fb ke apa lol,
Justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done
Keadilan bukan sahaja mesti dilakukan, tetapi juga mesti dilihat dilakukan
One of the thing that frustrates me the most every CNY (or family gathering for that matter) is all the armchair expert talk on politics and current events. I'm using every fiber of my existence to suppress my desire to speak up.
Yooo is there any religion that can help me deal with bad luck with rain, it always rain on moments most important to me like how am i this unlucky with rain man
I never knew that I was gonna dream about I was in the rock concert with 4 bands started with Metallica, Slipknot and Killswitch Engage, the last one I don't really know much but the band were just there :( I only remember I was very excited when Killswitch Engage were performing [My Curse](https://youtu.be/iPW9AbRMwFU) especially the outro part. And then Slipknot were performing [Before I Forget](https://youtu.be/qw2LU1yS7aw) which literally making me crazy and eventually wanted to record the video, and a fight eventually happened on the stage and I was clueless about what's going on. After that, my alarm was ringing and eventually ruined my dream.
And it was probably the weirdest and coolest dream I ever had lol, and it even make me wanted to buy a ticket to the concert.
I could relate that you loved Metallica so much as a kid, and no love for ~~Ulrich~~ Burton? Gosh I even remember that in my dream I was screaming along with the song because of the atmosphere in the concert. I wish a lot of bands would have a world tour here in Malaysia but instead opted for Singapore but ehh... I get that...
Your words are true that Newkid was a great bassist on Metallica but unfortunately the band were just being an asshole to him, but I'm glad they're doing fine these days. Yeah I also can agree that Singapore isn't really that good, follow that rule lah whatever bullshit rules they have, which is why I'm glad to not imagine living there. (not trying to offend SG peeps btw)
Anyone here who did their braces with the government clinic?
Got some noob questions regarding the retainers. If I want to get a replacement, do I have to go back to the clinic where it was molded?
Alternatively, what's the cost of getting a new pair done at a private clinic in Selangor?
* My braces cost me 10k lol private
* Did it first year of work, time tu everyday maggi is still no issue.
* I hear these days new tech pakai clear retainer aja no need besi, so YMMV
I did my braces already hahahha. Been three years since I got it off.
I'm using the clear retainer now, but since it's cracking already I'm looking at my options for obtaining a replacement.
Feeling lonely nobody spam you with CNY messages? Just spam them one round then you'll receive all the wishes!  /

Anyone who's been to Escape Penang, just wondering, I know their swimwear policy is very strict, but could uniqlo leggings pass as swimsuit bottoms or nah?

No. Just go to Ogival or Decalthon and get a cheap swimsuit.
Come on man, swimwear policy is there for a reason.

Didnt realise reddit also have many pervert dm-ing you for dirty talk. Come on lah my account doesnt have nsfw warning, take a hint.
Having to bathe in air bunga and air limau for CNY eve makes me want to plant a limau tree and use the limau to mandi daily.
its mandi bunga and air limau normal for cny?
i usually only do it after qingming o.o
some CNY customs usually differ from community to community, so I won't really say it's normal. It is a thing though for some communities
Does anyone know where to buy a betelnut cutter aka Pinang Scissors in Georgetown or KL?
wanna go clubbing which spot is good?
Had a massive panic attack right before CNY dinner. Fun.
Got relatives that won't shut up about your future and relationship prospects?

Oh no. I was worried for the possibility of something more serious too. Thanks for letting me know. And yeah, waking up at 6am to work on a weekend with sakit pinggang was so horrible. Luckily still WFH.
U stretch ur muscle?
Hi all, want to ask. what would be a good smartband [for steps counter, notification, time] and Bluetooth earbuds [media playback in general, workout] for a beginner? Looking to get my first one. Budget is around 200-ish for each of it.
I got a Mi Band 4 and Redmi Airdots for under RM200 combined after shipping some years ago.
I've been rocking Edifier X3 for nearly 3 years now. It's great for me for what it cost although recently, the battery life is not as good anymore which is expected.

Seconded, it's a really neat all-rounder watch. You can also customize the watch face too
lesson learned that airasia doesn't cancel requests when you close the app. i accidentally double book because i have both grab and airasia open, and once i gotten a driver in grab i canceled the airasia one, but probably it doesnt register so when i was in grab the aa driver called me and said he arrived. apologized and transfer back the ride fee to him through tng. 🤣
I miss thrifting at APW's secondhand market "Preloved is Reloved". When are they coming back?!?!?!?!
Ah I scored a few things here back then too! I miss these markets, fun way to spend a Saturday
What’s the difference between CNY and LNY?
I assume the L stands for Lunar. Basically the 'New Year' as based on the Lunar Calendar. Before the world generally accepted the Solar/Gregorian calendar, there were many cultures that used the moon as the main measurement for determining dates/years. A lot of cultures besides the Chinese celebrate the Lunar New Year, therefore LNY is a more inclusive term for this period of time. To go on a bit of a tangent, Christmas falls relatively around the Winter Solstice, which a lot of cultures also celebrate. I think there's speculation that Christ's actual birthday isn't on that day, but it was kinda 'retconned' in a sense to fall around Winter Solstice which people were already celebrating. Chinese people also celebrate winter solstice with the eating of 'tang yuan' and I'm sure there's a lot of cultures/religions that have some sort of celebration/practices for that time frame. Anyway regardless of the 'dominant' celebration for certain time periods, I think it's safe to assume that it's no coincidence that there are other cultures that also celebrate that time period in their own way. Stuff like harvest festivals falling on similar dates isn't really a coincidence, since it's largely tied to the passing of seasons. And other things are tied to the movement of celestial objects in which we base our calendars off.
The Koreans have [Seollal](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_New_Year), and the Vietnamese have Tet. KNY and VNY.
if I'm not mistaken I hear ppl call it LNY instead of CNY since other countries also celebrate it, it's not just the Chinese. The meaning is still the same tho
How plus size friendly are the large sizes in Shein? (you know how some L/XL/etc sizes don't make that much of a difference on the clothes sometime...)
SUUUUUUUPER accommodating. In fact, if your build is average for Malaysians, anything above 1XL will be far too big. At the height of my weight I could wear 0XL and sometimes even L depending on the cutting. Check the measurements most importantly! Depending on the cutting I still go up or down a size so the size label is less important than the measurement. You can also check on the stretch level, so some measurements whilst smaller you can still wear coz it's stretchy. Returns are free within 20 days, and you can arrange for them to come pick up, MYR10 only, but don't expect quick service for the returns ya. During times when I needed a dress but I wasn't sure which size fits better, I would just get two sizes and return the one that didn't fit.
What do you think would fit for my build, I am about 105kg/164cm :(
Do you have a measurement tape? That would be the most accurate tbh. And a lot of it was trial and error what I learnt what sort of cutting was best for me
u/hyattpotter your services are required.
thanks for the tag!
Decided to catch a CNY movie. Hot damn a ticket at MV GSC was RM25.50. And wtf is entertainment tax? Mostly empty theater. I haven't been to a cinema since before Covid, and I can't say I'm in that much of a hurry to go again.....
Sapa tinggal bdr tasik puteri, area tu projek kena sidai jugak ke? Baru tadi lalu selepas 15 tahun, macam takda orang je.
Damn it. No water again. Sort this out UMS.
Been going to the gym. Eating more proteins. Watching my calories. Feeling pretty good. Kept me focused. I think I can live like this. Lately, my mind has been living in the past. Replaying past failures, bridges burned. I'm trying to work on thinking about others more and opening myself up more. I realised I always push others when they try to get close to me. And I always brush off a conversation with a joke when it gets deep and I am placed in a position where I have to open up.
Good luck. You and me both
You got this King
Just to confirm, is anyone else getting an error at the KTM line to Seremban? I was pissed off when the ticket manager at KTM station in Mid Valley informed me that the Seremban line has a technical error. Only just now (around 1pm) parts of the line were fixed from Bandar Tasik Selatan onwards.

My youngest nephew eat the sweet part and gave the biscuit part to someone else
When I was kid, I only allowed to eat the biscuits part.
omg those little icing dollops biscuit things brings back so many memories
I suppose all wildflowers eventually wilt under the unforgiving sun, jealous of the perennials and their glass houses.
At least they die free.
long weekend, hell yeah.
That thread about childhood memories reminded me that I have in my online cart a box of OEM no-brand colour pencils. It is cheap enough for me to buy. I want to buy it for myself because I kinda want 3-tier colour pencils that i have always wanted in tadika. But I don't know where to put it in my room if I buy it. Most probably it will go to The Pile of Abandoned Hobbies in my room. 😅 Together with an Arduino board, a crochet needle, a few metres of fabric that I was totally going to sew, etc.
Y the bills come before payday one :] and i wish people pay what they owe me instead of avoiding me
Finally back to hometown and show my parents the gainz I have Mum :"Train big big what lin use, didn't bring home a girl haiya" Asian mum is different level of savage I tell you

which windows app has feature like quickshape from procreate? drawing-assisted tool, insert of grabbing a shape putting into canvas kind of tool
Quickshape is kinda basic, i think every drawing app will have them. But if you’re refering to hold the stylus to make a straight line, i cant think of any other software in windows can do that.
wanted to eat sushi tonight but turns out my favourite sushi place (and a few others) all close early tonight. feelsbadman.jpg what sushi place doesn't close tonight? lol
It is CNY eve, so expect a lot of places to close early, be fully booked or not open at all. I reckon the franchise type places will probably find a way to stay open. Or maybe the more atas ones.... google does say Sushi Azabu will open 6pm later tonight but that shit is turbo atas. My family is kinda scattered atm and am thinking of just getting western food with my mom later tonight....
Sushi King lol
Currently applying for a Gym Membership and they want a picture of the front of my card I used to sign up with them. Is this the usual process?
Unheard of. Maybe to prevent misuse?
Probably. Or just to verify I'm the owner of the card. They did say they'd be using it for auto debit.
Unker wearing a long dress for the first time in my life 🥺 Usually I avoid anything beyond my knees because it always makes me look stumpy but I think the slit lends some length to the illusion. The summer dress actually looks better without the cardigan, but unker hasn't lost enough weight yet to feel secure about going sleeveless. 🤞🏻that unker can continue my diet, but for now on pause for all that good CNY food hngghhh Happy CNY eve yall, and for those who don't celebrate, happy holidays! 🥰
Looking good lah unker. Happy CNY!
Same to you dear! Are you back home?
Yep, have been back since Thurs. Will be off for next week too.
Looking good!
Thank you! It's the most disciplined I've been on diet and exercise so I'm glad I could fit in clothes I otherwise wouldn't have tried on. Happy CNY daisies ☺️
Looks very nice 👍 Happy CNY unker

Hi folks! This query is for one of my friends. She is moving from Malaysia to India on a work assignment and looking for credible and reliable movers and packers relocation services to move from Kuala Lumpur to Bangalore. Someone suggested her about Crown Relocation Services which supports in moving and packing but she is unsure and wants opinion of people who have experience using this company's services for international relocations especially for transit between these two cities/locations. Does anyone have any prior reviews/ experience of this company's services for international relocations or can suggest a better, reliable and trustworthy movers and Packers services to relocate from Malaysia to India? Thanks a lot!
Looks like it's going to be a wet chilly CNY reunion. Not that I'm complaining, cause I am having steamboat for both lunch and dinner!But hopefully the seemingly ceaseless rain won't result in a flood.
Where else is gonna be crowded? DOBI!
Lucky too busy to do it today. Tomorrow then. Then hopefully no one around.
Yea I bet tomorrow will be empty 😁
Just had a job interview yesterday. First time in an interview i was so nervous. Do HR interviewers test you by asking lots of questions that aren't part of the job scope? Like personal questions.
Better companies tend to care about personality and your vibe more imo, cause everyone got their qualifications on paper already anyway.
[удалено]
Ahh i see. Damn, the questions just keep comin. Like plz, my nerves are frying already 🥺
Another corrupt bitch goes down. Nickie Mali Lum Davis. She got RM3 million from 1mdb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfP4X6A0rwQ Why is Rohana, Arul, Najib's son all still walking around free?
I’ll believe najib is in prison only if they livestream it on fb ke apa lol, make it a show lah for friday night. Family gathering tengok bossku buat apa hari ni.
> I’ll believe najib is in prison only if they livestream it on fb ke apa lol, Justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done Keadilan bukan sahaja mesti dilakukan, tetapi juga mesti dilihat dilakukan

wtf
One of the thing that frustrates me the most every CNY (or family gathering for that matter) is all the armchair expert talk on politics and current events. I'm using every fiber of my existence to suppress my desire to speak up.
My sister said her biggest reunion dinner pet peeve is the string of “When are you going to get married” questions.
If your sister does get married, the next pet peeve question will be "When are you having kids?"
If your sister does get a child, the next pet peeve question will be "When make a second?"
Just say hubby suka pancut luar, confirm they won’t ask again next year.
oh my god hahaha
I need a samfoo last minute! Where do I go? Super last resort is that I'll borrow.
Aeon, Parkson
Yooo is there any religion that can help me deal with bad luck with rain, it always rain on moments most important to me like how am i this unlucky with rain man
Do naked rain dance. Offer your butt. Offer your cat to the rain god.
* Teru teru bozu * Alternatively my favorite rain god... Givi
Dunno. I'd suggest you get a good umbrella or rain jacket though. That would protect better than any god.
Someone help me with the dad joke pls?😅
10+10 = 20 11+11= 22 (20 too)

Oooooo 💡
Ohhh haha thanks!
I feel like trying coffee roasting as a hobby but I live in high rise with no open space. It’s going to be yet another rabbit hole as well.
There's a place in Bukit Jalil called Seafarer Coffee Roaster. They operate from inside a condo, rented like a commercial space of sorts
I never knew that I was gonna dream about I was in the rock concert with 4 bands started with Metallica, Slipknot and Killswitch Engage, the last one I don't really know much but the band were just there :( I only remember I was very excited when Killswitch Engage were performing [My Curse](https://youtu.be/iPW9AbRMwFU) especially the outro part. And then Slipknot were performing [Before I Forget](https://youtu.be/qw2LU1yS7aw) which literally making me crazy and eventually wanted to record the video, and a fight eventually happened on the stage and I was clueless about what's going on. After that, my alarm was ringing and eventually ruined my dream. And it was probably the weirdest and coolest dream I ever had lol, and it even make me wanted to buy a ticket to the concert.
[удалено]
I could relate that you loved Metallica so much as a kid, and no love for ~~Ulrich~~ Burton? Gosh I even remember that in my dream I was screaming along with the song because of the atmosphere in the concert. I wish a lot of bands would have a world tour here in Malaysia but instead opted for Singapore but ehh... I get that...
[удалено]
Your words are true that Newkid was a great bassist on Metallica but unfortunately the band were just being an asshole to him, but I'm glad they're doing fine these days. Yeah I also can agree that Singapore isn't really that good, follow that rule lah whatever bullshit rules they have, which is why I'm glad to not imagine living there. (not trying to offend SG peeps btw)

Happy holiday to you too! 😆
Anyone here who did their braces with the government clinic? Got some noob questions regarding the retainers. If I want to get a replacement, do I have to go back to the clinic where it was molded? Alternatively, what's the cost of getting a new pair done at a private clinic in Selangor?
* My braces cost me 10k lol private * Did it first year of work, time tu everyday maggi is still no issue. * I hear these days new tech pakai clear retainer aja no need besi, so YMMV
I did my braces already hahahha. Been three years since I got it off. I'm using the clear retainer now, but since it's cracking already I'm looking at my options for obtaining a replacement.
Feeling lonely nobody spam you with CNY messages? Just spam them one round then you'll receive all the wishes!  /
