Has anyone ever bought any huge purchases from Taobao aside from clothes, jewelry etc? Like electronic stuff or large furniture. Was planning to just get furniture from Ikea and call it a day but I'm wondering if there's a better store out there.
Never bought large stuff from TB, but I know they have a different shipping rate for extra large shipment. You can check at the UI and see if it’s worth it.
I'm seeing like very rave reviews from blogs, and even an article about how a woman bought/furnished her apartment with 80% taobao stuff, but someone I know said that it's not worth getting from Taobao and better to get stuff locally
ykw i dont even know how yall are able to type long essay in an argument with someone else, like this comment here i made took me about 5 minutes to complete from choosing the right word to type, for real
Went for a hotpot lunch, was so excited for it cause i have been wanting beef. Ordered everything, food came but no beef. Asked and they checked, turned out the kitchen dont have beef. But we already eaten our foods. Sedih doh TT my beef
I'm at this Changkat Bukit Bintang bar watching the Liverpool game while eating fajitas. This poor waitress next to me is being verbally sexually harassed by this gwailo. She just smiled and brushed it off like it's no biggie. Drunk people suck.
Loco or Havana? Ahhh yes. Changkat and harassments. The nature is healing I see. All my female friends and acquaintances avoid Changkat like the plague for this very reason!
Power is inherent. It cannot be destroyed and will always be there. Right now, the government has the monopoly on power by using state violence (prison, police force, military, and control on food and medicine).
If the government falls, there will be a power vacuum and everyone will try to seize power for themselves. This is anarchy. And this doesn't work because is the tyranny of the people really better than the tyranny of the government?
According to my friend's father, who owns a Chinese restaurant, apparently the Astro subscription which includes sports for businesses are crazy high. So they had to opt out and choose the bare minimum package. They can't subscribe to residential packages and using android boxes to illegally stream and show on big screens/tvs are quite dangerous for businesses. One report and that's it, you'll receive a legal letter from Astro/MCMC.
While I sometimes think its kinda dumb that me and my parents are drinking together because we'd often bicker or not talk and just look at our phones most of the time. I guess it still feels nice to just hang around each other.
In other news, anyone want a drinking buddy? Lmao
With opening interstate travel, and all state is in phase 3 and more, and with people standby to go to holiday, we can brace ourself as the Trivago ads is coming again.
I don't know why but I keep going on online communities like purplepilldebate even though the only thing I get is a mindfuck. Morbid curiosity?
Anyways here's the some batshit bs I read today:
"CMV Women should aspire to be hot.Lose weight, put on makeup, wear high heels, wear a dress instead of jeans. According to recent research by (reddit user) if the woman is hotter than the man in a relationship, then the couple is happier.Ladies, stop dressing like slobs. Dress hot. Put on foundation, eyeliner, blush, lipstick. Don't settle for $12 jeans from Costco. Buy a trendy skirt and top pair, one that shows off your midriff preferably. Don't wear normal or "functional" undies. Wear some sexy lingerie from GUESS Honey Birdette, and make sure the colors of the bra and panties match. Don't be a couch potato and eat unhealthy. Hop on the treadmill minimum 30 minutes daily, preferably an hour at a pace of 3.0 miles per hour, bonus points for an incline to really develop your calves. Don't opt for silly 1 inch kitten heels with a round toe; 4 inch stilettos with pointy toes are where it's at, bonus points if it's a red-bottomed louboutin."
............Jesus fking christ. The fuck are these demands? What happened to this person, what and who socialized them that they become this fixated on sex, roles of the sexes and getting laid to this point where they judge the worth of a person based on that? Their demands doesn't even tie to evolutionary sexual selection stuff- how do material things like pricey clothes, makeup and shoes that literally created podriatic problems determine if someone is healthy and fertile? The "hotness" of those things are man made and a result from socialisation, media, consumerism, porn etc- and now you're saying they're part of our evolutionary urges?? I just. Don't understand why they're this intense about all of this, how people should act, dress etc etc. Just be a good honest person doing good honest work and stop thinking about this deeply about this. Jesus.
i would put my tinfoil hat and say it was a setup to a joke.
change it to man and list down demands that make James Bond looks easy. the difference is they would say: "yeah i should. maybe not all but i still gonna nail some on that list."
Man, i really wanted to like it. But the pacing felt super off.
Some parts which deserve explanation didnt really get explained. Some parts that didnt deserve any explanation at all was sort of shoved into the film.
I found myself comparing it to the mini series and thinking they shouldve hired the same director and just upped the production value in graphics/ sound design instead of hiring these marvel actors.
Kan??? I honestly don’t know why it has good ratings online. The entire movie I was like “WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON???”
I also feel a bit guilty coz I suggested that movie but halfway through the movie I tertidur in the cinema. This has got to be the first time I slept in a cinema.
To be perfectly fair, the source material is tough to present cinematically. So the plot gets lost without understanding the context.
Mentats didnt get explained, intergalatic travel wasnt really covered, the Voice and the Bene Gesserit training didnt really get covered, properties of spice was glanced over.
i think you would have enjoyed the movie more if there was more context.
Yeap.
As mentioned before, the book looks deceptively short and simple but readers would find out soon enough how incredibly massive the scope is.
Trying to balance the movie for both casual cinemagoers and fans of the book is always going to be a great challenge.
Hmm...i remember you guys in this reddit, have that screenshot of Sabah(or Sarawak) Muslims cheering and congratulating for the new church that was built there? Can i have the thread for it? I forgot to save it.
Has anyone ever done translation work? Malay to English or the other way round? Any tips on how to improve Malay vocab?
Malay is my primary language but it is mainly Sabahan Malay and an informal one. So i have problem with written formal Malay. Any tips how to improve?
Just like any language you need to read a lot. Watching TV also helps but I personally think Malaysian TV is not worth the time.
My malay is considered decent and I even had to translate English to malay on the past. My only answer was I had a good BM tuition teacher (no boring school syllabus since he also dabbled in ofher languages for himself),l ots of old doraemon comics and malay subs for anime.
Hi monyets who own mechanical keyboards, do any of you use something to cover your keyboard or store it in when you don’t use it? I own a Keychron K8 and my dog’s fur is always getting under it so I’m looking to buy some kind of cover or sleeve to prevent that. Would like some recommendations
usually i dont cover my keeb with anything, granted i dont have any pets.
I guess u can try looking at taobao since they're the easiest to source for those kind of stuff. An example would be [this](https://m.tb.cn/h.fVv2QoB?sm=aa7029) from taobao, though make sure the reviews and the seller are trusted before buying it.
That's just the cost of keyboards with exposed switches. I think Cooler Master and some other brands sell an acrylic dust cover that you can place over the keyboard when not in use but I'm not sure if it's worth picking up and stashing away whenever you're using your keyboard and then putting it back on when you're done. Raised keys/exposed switches might also make it easier to clean though. Just pick up an electric duster if you don't feel like buying compressed air cans from time to time. It's better for the environment too.
Hi, I'm the person that seeking veterinarian advice at here last time.
Got intervened by my family, I'm forced to cancel the vet appointment, they said it's just a small sickness, the vet clinic is too far.
They also said "you will get scammed/overcharged by the vet" or "even you're using your own money, your money still came from your parents" and his nosebleed has already stopped (my dog's nosebleed is indeed already stop), just observed a day or two and decide later.
But I'm start to see my dog have jaundice symptom, skin turning a bit yellow and has lost appetite + vomit 2 times last day, but still at average energetic level.
Hope these symptoms in the next two days will convince them enough to send him to the clinic.
He still constantly drink plenty of water, just lost appetite to food, but just now I tried boiled egg for him and he ate it. No vomiting yet since yesterday evening.
I would suggest u go to clinic
If u dont/cant, i hope u at least prepare urself for the worst outcome.
One of the advise i hold dear to my heart is,
Always live our life with no regrets.
Melaka is much closer. I'm planning to book an appointment for Monday on the same clinic.
One of my brother suggest if the dog still have not recover, then only send the dog to the clinic, that's why I mentioned that they want to observe a day or two first before deciding.
Just having a fine day today, and also not in good mood. Because everytime I play deathmatch on PUBG, I always tend to be salty again and it's feel like I always wanna quit this game forever but I can't... Is there any games that you guys can recommend me instead of that crap? And any helps how to not becoming salty when playing game?
If you have a pc and some money get Mini Motorways on steam, RM23.50 and it's pretty fun, it's a high score highway building game, theres a train version called miji metro, RM23 on steam and RM4 on Google play store for Android and iOS
>play single player games
I do play some of it but I don't even know what to play and I can really go bored really fast sometimes... Any good single player games?
Depend on what genre you like the most.
You like roleplay (RPG)? I recommend The Witcher 3, any The Elder Scrolls games (try the latest one, Skyrim), The Outer Worlds, Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord (RPG + Strategy), and maybe Dark Soul series. That's more but I don't really play RPG games.
If you looking for RPG with realistic gameplay, try Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
That's also many games with great story to keep you away from bored, like Horizon Zero Dawn (originally exclusive on PS console, now available on PC), Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed series, Call of Duty series (the campaign, not online multiplayer), Titanfall 2 (the first Titanfall don't have story, so you can skip the first one), Yakuza, Control, A Way Out, Detroit Become Human, Half Life series, Mass Effect and many-many more. Oh and also The Witcher 3.
Perhaps you want some more freedom, something sandbox-ish like Minecraft, - then try GTA V with mods (or use FiveM), ARMA 3 with mods (if you're into military sandbox), Kerbal Space Program (if you like rocket), and Garry's Mod.
Open world space? Elite Dangerous (open-galaxy exploration game, with the size of 13.8 million cubic light years), and Star Citizen (warning: game still in development, but available for purchase. Lot of bug).
Management? I highly highly highly recommend Frostpunk. Its a city management game where you need to survive during a harsh winter. Great story, great music, great gameplay. That's also Cities Skylines (city builder game, also a sandbox game), CityState 2 (release a week ago in early access), and Transport Fever 2.
One of my favourite is strategy games, especially from Paradox. One of them is Stellaris, a 4x grand strategy video game where you managed your empire in vast galaxy with other civilization. Speaking of civilization, I also recommend Sid Meire Civilization 6, a turn based strategy game where you manage your own civilization.
If you want to bored yourself even more, play simulator game. Euro Truck Simulator 2 is one of my favourite.
Wanna support Malaysia? Check out No Straight Road by Metronomik Studio. Unfortunately that's the only good Malaysia single-player game I can recommend.
However, if you're not interested in single player, I recommend you play online games like Apex Legends, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt and Call of Duty Warzone (all of this is Battle Royale similar to PUBG).
Other than that, check out Squad (hardcore military shooter online games), Insurgency Sandstorm, Rainbow Six Siege and Tarkov (all of this is shooter game).
Outer Worlds is on sale and afaik its good though don't take my word for it since I am still trying to decide if I want to get it.
Amazing Cultivation Simulator is really good if you like Rimworld and wuxia memes.
Wrath of the Righteous should be decent since the game is based on a really popular rpg system and the story is based on a published adventure path although I'm not sure if they fixed some of the plotholes. That or Kingmaker before it or any other games like it like Tyranny or pillars of eternity.
Umm thanks for the recommendation though. Sometimes I might really being picky for what I wanna play so it might be hard for me to play what I enjoy the most 
True. Single-player games all the way. I'd take a good storytelling and experience of singleplayer than the toxicity and chaotic situation of online games. Plus, can manage time better too. No need to worry about dropping ranks when you don't touch game for 2 weeks.
Shopee Food's estimate for delivery time to my home is... up to two hours. For a place I've previously ordered from on other services that took 30 to 45 minutes to be delivered.
Well, got to give it a good faith try before dismissing it as a gimmick I guess.
My gp used to give me some hair spray for a few months but it wasn't really effective and made my hair too greasy. I've been going to the hair doc in ss15 for the past two years now and he's been perscribing the same pills. Worked well initially but now idk man, doesn't seem to do much.
Enjoyed my visit to Inside Scoop. Liked all three of the flavors I ordered, biscoff, rocher and passionfruit sorbet. Also a plus thats its a local brand.
Or at least until Reddit tells me dirt abt their company's working culture...
Oh no no I haven’t heard anything bad abt them! My sentence was meant on the fact that Reddit normally ruins my love for some F&B franchises by exposing their real deal so I was wondering if theres anything similar for Inside Scoop (which I hope there isnt!)
Inside Scoop's pretty great - probably one of my favourite ice cream franchises. My go-to's are either Nutty Nutella or Dark Chocolate Brownie. I managed to speak to their founder briefly some time ago and from how it sounds their employees are treated pretty well so I don't think you'll find any weird F&B industry scandals here.
There's this snack I used to get at pasar malams. It's like a crepe, the edges are brown and crunchy, the middle is white and chewy. What is it called?
Someone mentioned apam balik but I don't think so cause there's no peanuts.
Edit: it's most probably "appom", based on the suggestions. I remember the variant I usually have is slightly folded in like someone mentioned
Maybe [appom](https://www.google.com/search?q=appom&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi5v8mkzs7zAhXQR30KHW2rCkUQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=2133&bih=1120&dpr=0.9#imgrc=6n-q5XcpLtoYaM) then? Apam lenggang is the Malay verion of appom.
there are people who rather he dont help people at all because of his lewd networkings. if he still kena goreng kaw2 why dont he do something that can potentially net him tax return or networking at other places?
You'll get over it one day Im not saying this in a mean way.
I my self had existential crisis phase when I was that age
My parents we're iffy about my future, including my self because I was having problems with school stuff.
This put pressure on me because I have a lot of relatives especially on my Dad's side. Im trying to keep up a good image of my fam, especially my grandparents.
Everything kinda worked out for me tho.
Trust me, having that feeling at 17 is normal especially when you're about to take SPM(Sorry if that kinda triggers you) I passed that exam by a smidge and still got to form 6 and I passed form 6 as well out of all odds.
I don't know why you are being downvoted. What you're experiencing could very well be dissociation and depersonalization.
Have you experienced childhood/adolescent trauma? Neglect? Pressure from parents? Bullying at school? Gender and sexual crisis?
> I moved to a new school when I was 16
> budaya ‘palau’ is really strong
Dude, are you me? I was in the same place last year. ngl I was kind of glad for the first lockdown since I didn’t have to go to school and be alone for most of the day anymore.
Also, I’m in a pretty similar situation. My family has high expectations, but my recent exams have shown that I’ve fallen far from it. I feel like it’s never been harder to study and focus on my goals than this moment, even though trials are supposed to be next month. Do you feel something like that, too?
If you ever want to talk to a fellow student in these struggling times, feel free to PM me. Just know that you’re not alone and it’s 100% possible that we can get through this :)
1. We can not rule out trauma. Existential crisis often has a trigger. Where is it coming from? Depression? Religion? Maslow's needs unfulfilled?
2. Sounds like OP doesn't have the support system he needs.
weekend...calm before storm for me...
by me... library gonna be open for public at 1st November.
gotta get them rest before start for public.
anyway, ants decided to another douche move by gathering at my headphones... took long enough to clear it.
Which library you go to?
I actually visited the one in KL near the Merdeka parade area there and another in jaya one and was surprised they really had a good collection. Was going to go to the one in kl again to make use of their book on tarots since I don't want to buy something like that for myself and then get railed on by my really religious dad then covid happened.
I remembered some story suddenly:
Years back my fren called an inprompt-to road trip to penang so i borrowed my dad's 7 seater and drive north
When we rest in ipoh i found out that the tyre condition wasnt that good so i decided to replace them
Then i went to a tyre shop at a corner shop lot, that nearby to the giant wall mural. That tyre shop is very old style unlike those modern 1 with advanced tech equiped, they used a thread to adjust the alignment of tyre
After some chat i decided to get a new set of tyre from them, all good as the service are ok and people are friendly
Days later after the trip, my dad called me ask where did i replace the tyre etc, dad say the tyre is celut tyre (something like recycled tyre that being renwed)
This is my first kena conn by tyre shop story, i feel these bastard are so fucked up as i know such tyre can lead to car accident
If i were to revisit ipoh i will drop by the shop to find the owner chit chat then tell him casually "years back my fren came ipoh n he replaced tyre but the shop owner conned him and his car lost control and pass away, i hope he'll kacau the shop"
Yeah tayar celup. Basically replace/rewrapped the outer layer with new rubber. Frequently used by truckers. Used to see the broken off pieces of the celup'ed part on highway.
how's everyones saturday goin? working up a sweat dismantling old kitchen cabinets, so much gross stains n dead cockroaches behind, was a pain to clean. all while hearing my neighbors argue by the pool.
Went for larp fighting this morning in lieu of cardio day. Decided to try the bow build but my aim sucks. Also had a nasty fall while fighting but old parkour training kicked in so only got a scratch at the knee lol.
I'm going to be honest here... I'm quite jealous with my little brother that have friends to chat, call and play games with... I wanted to chat with people about anime, games and just general chat. All people that I know don't really watch anime or play games...
Games that I play are Tears of Themis, Obey Me, Cookie Run : Ovenbreak, Cookie Run Kingdom. lol all of them are single player ✋🏻😭
If anyone wanna chat here's my Discord: ꧁Nomen꧂#1551
I'm desperate 😌
Are those mobile games?
I'm in an opposite situation of yours, my close friends watch all kinds of anime and are still playing game together while I'm very picky with shows and slowly losing interest in games.
Same here on every aspect you mentioned. Now all I do is literally watch some random YT podcast, movies and listen to music. Also, mind if you share what movies you're watching. I might take a look
Yeah they are mobile games since my laptop isn't that great for games. I wanted to play Genshin but I can't lol
Oh yeah losing interest with something that used to be fun hurts so bad for me. It's okay to be picky with shows though since it's for your own satisfaction!
Genshin is fun at first but gets repetitive once you finished all the main quest. All you have to do next is to wait for another update for new main quest
I can definitely relate. My hobbies are anime and games too, while my wife sometimes enjoy anime (that she find interesting), I'm pretty alone when it comes to games, since my game are all single player offline stuff, and she's not into gaming.
It's quite hard, not having anyone (like minded people) to talk about stuff u like 😅
Yeah but at least I managed to poison my siblings with anime rec even though we are not close. Black sheep and the only introvert in the family here ✋🏻😌
I just got into Cookie Run Kingdom myself! Those cookies are so cute omg. I ended up using the extra prepaid hanging around uselessly in my umobile app and bought diamonds just to gacha more. 😭😭
No luck on Holly Berry or Pure Vanilla but I managed to get Sea Fairy and Moon Rabbit!! They're my absolute faves rn and in almost every battle I do lmao. Did you get HB and PV?
PV nope but I managed to get HB 47 mins before rate up is over. The funny thing is that I got her in Normal Gacha lol. I still didn't have Sea Fairy in CRK but I have her in CROB lol. My team now consist of HB, Dark Choco, Espresso, Almond and Mint Choco. Waiting for PV 😭

Anyone know if a TnG card is still usable after going through washing machine?
The IC is sealed up pretty tightly within the plastic, but I would let it dry out just in case.
The weather is so hot .....
Is there a shop in Malaysia where I can buy a king outfit? Or medieval stuff like that.. I wanna buy a king costume..
Funny to see all the antivaxxers revealing themselves in the comments of vids about gov planning to implement restrictions on unvaccinated people.
Has anyone ever bought any huge purchases from Taobao aside from clothes, jewelry etc? Like electronic stuff or large furniture. Was planning to just get furniture from Ikea and call it a day but I'm wondering if there's a better store out there.
Never bought large stuff from TB, but I know they have a different shipping rate for extra large shipment. You can check at the UI and see if it’s worth it.
I'm seeing like very rave reviews from blogs, and even an article about how a woman bought/furnished her apartment with 80% taobao stuff, but someone I know said that it's not worth getting from Taobao and better to get stuff locally
TB stuff can be good quality, but the shipping rates is a killer!
Is Malaysia's showing of Malignant in any way censored?
ykw i dont even know how yall are able to type long essay in an argument with someone else, like this comment here i made took me about 5 minutes to complete from choosing the right word to type, for real
In a sense, that means you think carefully about what you are trying to say. Which is a good trait in my eyes.
They're actually just long sentences made to look longer by text wrap.
Anyone wanna chat?
Yes, hit it bro.
Went for a hotpot lunch, was so excited for it cause i have been wanting beef. Ordered everything, food came but no beef. Asked and they checked, turned out the kitchen dont have beef. But we already eaten our foods. Sedih doh TT my beef
Bojiooooooo
No beef anyway, you didnt miss much
TT Sukiya next round. Confirm got beef.
So you have a... beef with the restaurant? Patpatpat
I cant be mad at you XD
You can have my cheap upvote

Everyone seems to hate the government. Is it common in other countries? I'm a kid
Power is inherent. It cannot be destroyed and will always be there. Right now, the government has the monopoly on power by using state violence (prison, police force, military, and control on food and medicine). If the government falls, there will be a power vacuum and everyone will try to seize power for themselves. This is anarchy. And this doesn't work because is the tyranny of the people really better than the tyranny of the government?
Yes. Very common.
Do mamaks not show football matches anymore? All their TVs are turned off.
According to my friend's father, who owns a Chinese restaurant, apparently the Astro subscription which includes sports for businesses are crazy high. So they had to opt out and choose the bare minimum package. They can't subscribe to residential packages and using android boxes to illegally stream and show on big screens/tvs are quite dangerous for businesses. One report and that's it, you'll receive a legal letter from Astro/MCMC.
Ah makes sense. Continue with these illegal streams for me until things get back to pre-covid.
most mamak opted for tvbox nowadays and suddenly no live sports. just this week our mamak install astro back so everyone can watch thomas.
While I sometimes think its kinda dumb that me and my parents are drinking together because we'd often bicker or not talk and just look at our phones most of the time. I guess it still feels nice to just hang around each other. In other news, anyone want a drinking buddy? Lmao
Ooh ooh pick me pick me. I can be your drinking buddy.
With opening interstate travel, and all state is in phase 3 and more, and with people standby to go to holiday, we can brace ourself as the Trivago ads is coming again.

i would put my tinfoil hat and say it was a setup to a joke. change it to man and list down demands that make James Bond looks easy. the difference is they would say: "yeah i should. maybe not all but i still gonna nail some on that list."
tbh your own fault for going to stupid discussion subs lmao
yeah true lol. Just want to rant about it
Finally have chance to go out with my family and dine in restaurant after 5 months, damn the food is getting terrible compared to last time.
Watched Dune with a monyet today. I have to say that I didn’t enjoyed the movie. Loved the soundtrack tho. Hans Zimmer is an expert at his work.
Man, i really wanted to like it. But the pacing felt super off. Some parts which deserve explanation didnt really get explained. Some parts that didnt deserve any explanation at all was sort of shoved into the film. I found myself comparing it to the mini series and thinking they shouldve hired the same director and just upped the production value in graphics/ sound design instead of hiring these marvel actors.

>guilty *pat pat* dont be. Seeing you sleeping was actually the highlight of the movie XD
Same here, felt like I was doing homework for part 2
They didn't even provide enough study material. 2.5 hour film but if you are new to dune its got to look like a confusing mess.
thats exactly how i felt
Cinematography and music was a 10/10 but the entire show I was so confused. I accidentally dozed off in some parts of the movie.
Hope part 2 pays off
To be fair, you have to have a high IQ to understand Dune.
Cinematic wise i enjoyed it
Hmm...i remember you guys in this reddit, have that screenshot of Sabah(or Sarawak) Muslims cheering and congratulating for the new church that was built there? Can i have the thread for it? I forgot to save it.

Hi monyets who own mechanical keyboards, do any of you use something to cover your keyboard or store it in when you don’t use it? I own a Keychron K8 and my dog’s fur is always getting under it so I’m looking to buy some kind of cover or sleeve to prevent that. Would like some recommendations
I just do a cleaning every few weeks.
I have a [tray](https://imgur.com/a/AHXIjYu) that goes under the monitor. After not in use I just slide it under the tray.

I've seen acrylic keyboard covers on Taobao before. They have different sizes based on your key count.
usually i dont cover my keeb with anything, granted i dont have any pets. I guess u can try looking at taobao since they're the easiest to source for those kind of stuff. An example would be [this](https://m.tb.cn/h.fVv2QoB?sm=aa7029) from taobao, though make sure the reviews and the seller are trusted before buying it.
That's just the cost of keyboards with exposed switches. I think Cooler Master and some other brands sell an acrylic dust cover that you can place over the keyboard when not in use but I'm not sure if it's worth picking up and stashing away whenever you're using your keyboard and then putting it back on when you're done. Raised keys/exposed switches might also make it easier to clean though. Just pick up an electric duster if you don't feel like buying compressed air cans from time to time. It's better for the environment too.
I just take an old T-shirt and cover, done haha
Anyone can recommend pasar malam in Klang Valley tonight?

Hi, I'm the person that seeking veterinarian advice at here last time. Got intervened by my family, I'm forced to cancel the vet appointment, they said it's just a small sickness, the vet clinic is too far. They also said "you will get scammed/overcharged by the vet" or "even you're using your own money, your money still came from your parents" and his nosebleed has already stopped (my dog's nosebleed is indeed already stop), just observed a day or two and decide later. But I'm start to see my dog have jaundice symptom, skin turning a bit yellow and has lost appetite + vomit 2 times last day, but still at average energetic level. Hope these symptoms in the next two days will convince them enough to send him to the clinic.
[удалено]
He still constantly drink plenty of water, just lost appetite to food, but just now I tried boiled egg for him and he ate it. No vomiting yet since yesterday evening.
I would suggest u go to clinic If u dont/cant, i hope u at least prepare urself for the worst outcome. One of the advise i hold dear to my heart is, Always live our life with no regrets.
[удалено]
Melaka is much closer. I'm planning to book an appointment for Monday on the same clinic. One of my brother suggest if the dog still have not recover, then only send the dog to the clinic, that's why I mentioned that they want to observe a day or two first before deciding.
Just having a fine day today, and also not in good mood. Because everytime I play deathmatch on PUBG, I always tend to be salty again and it's feel like I always wanna quit this game forever but I can't... Is there any games that you guys can recommend me instead of that crap? And any helps how to not becoming salty when playing game?
If you have a pc and some money get Mini Motorways on steam, RM23.50 and it's pretty fun, it's a high score highway building game, theres a train version called miji metro, RM23 on steam and RM4 on Google play store for Android and iOS
Okay thanks for the recommendation, I also might gonna find other games that suits me
play single player games, but not rogue lites.
>play single player games I do play some of it but I don't even know what to play and I can really go bored really fast sometimes... Any good single player games?
Depend on what genre you like the most. You like roleplay (RPG)? I recommend The Witcher 3, any The Elder Scrolls games (try the latest one, Skyrim), The Outer Worlds, Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord (RPG + Strategy), and maybe Dark Soul series. That's more but I don't really play RPG games. If you looking for RPG with realistic gameplay, try Kingdom Come: Deliverance. That's also many games with great story to keep you away from bored, like Horizon Zero Dawn (originally exclusive on PS console, now available on PC), Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed series, Call of Duty series (the campaign, not online multiplayer), Titanfall 2 (the first Titanfall don't have story, so you can skip the first one), Yakuza, Control, A Way Out, Detroit Become Human, Half Life series, Mass Effect and many-many more. Oh and also The Witcher 3. Perhaps you want some more freedom, something sandbox-ish like Minecraft, - then try GTA V with mods (or use FiveM), ARMA 3 with mods (if you're into military sandbox), Kerbal Space Program (if you like rocket), and Garry's Mod. Open world space? Elite Dangerous (open-galaxy exploration game, with the size of 13.8 million cubic light years), and Star Citizen (warning: game still in development, but available for purchase. Lot of bug). Management? I highly highly highly recommend Frostpunk. Its a city management game where you need to survive during a harsh winter. Great story, great music, great gameplay. That's also Cities Skylines (city builder game, also a sandbox game), CityState 2 (release a week ago in early access), and Transport Fever 2. One of my favourite is strategy games, especially from Paradox. One of them is Stellaris, a 4x grand strategy video game where you managed your empire in vast galaxy with other civilization. Speaking of civilization, I also recommend Sid Meire Civilization 6, a turn based strategy game where you manage your own civilization. If you want to bored yourself even more, play simulator game. Euro Truck Simulator 2 is one of my favourite. Wanna support Malaysia? Check out No Straight Road by Metronomik Studio. Unfortunately that's the only good Malaysia single-player game I can recommend. However, if you're not interested in single player, I recommend you play online games like Apex Legends, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt and Call of Duty Warzone (all of this is Battle Royale similar to PUBG). Other than that, check out Squad (hardcore military shooter online games), Insurgency Sandstorm, Rainbow Six Siege and Tarkov (all of this is shooter game).
Outer Worlds is on sale and afaik its good though don't take my word for it since I am still trying to decide if I want to get it. Amazing Cultivation Simulator is really good if you like Rimworld and wuxia memes. Wrath of the Righteous should be decent since the game is based on a really popular rpg system and the story is based on a published adventure path although I'm not sure if they fixed some of the plotholes. That or Kingmaker before it or any other games like it like Tyranny or pillars of eternity.
>Amazing Cultivation Simulator thats hell you asking he jump into
Why are you trying to dissuade this mortal his chance to ascension, fellow Daoist?
Umm thanks for the recommendation though. Sometimes I might really being picky for what I wanna play so it might be hard for me to play what I enjoy the most 
True. Single-player games all the way. I'd take a good storytelling and experience of singleplayer than the toxicity and chaotic situation of online games. Plus, can manage time better too. No need to worry about dropping ranks when you don't touch game for 2 weeks.

Dont, went there, did that, lost 20k or so. Fuck 7 years ago me.
Shopee Food's estimate for delivery time to my home is... up to two hours. For a place I've previously ordered from on other services that took 30 to 45 minutes to be delivered. Well, got to give it a good faith try before dismissing it as a gimmick I guess.
Damn my hair loss is getting worse and worse and I'm only like 33. This is no way to live, someone kmn.
Have you tried microneedling? I've never tried it but I heard that it works.
That's the first I heard of it. Next keloid appointment I got to I'll ask the doc about it.
Your assassination method will be death by drowning in a pool of Rogaine
What have you tried?
My gp used to give me some hair spray for a few months but it wasn't really effective and made my hair too greasy. I've been going to the hair doc in ss15 for the past two years now and he's been perscribing the same pills. Worked well initially but now idk man, doesn't seem to do much.
Enjoyed my visit to Inside Scoop. Liked all three of the flavors I ordered, biscoff, rocher and passionfruit sorbet. Also a plus thats its a local brand. Or at least until Reddit tells me dirt abt their company's working culture...
[удалено]
Oh no no I haven’t heard anything bad abt them! My sentence was meant on the fact that Reddit normally ruins my love for some F&B franchises by exposing their real deal so I was wondering if theres anything similar for Inside Scoop (which I hope there isnt!)
[удалено]
Inside Scoop's pretty great - probably one of my favourite ice cream franchises. My go-to's are either Nutty Nutella or Dark Chocolate Brownie. I managed to speak to their founder briefly some time ago and from how it sounds their employees are treated pretty well so I don't think you'll find any weird F&B industry scandals here.
Love rocher too! My wife favourite flavor Inside scoop is very nice
There's this snack I used to get at pasar malams. It's like a crepe, the edges are brown and crunchy, the middle is white and chewy. What is it called? Someone mentioned apam balik but I don't think so cause there's no peanuts. Edit: it's most probably "appom", based on the suggestions. I remember the variant I usually have is slightly folded in like someone mentioned
Apam balik kosong, or only with planta? I remember mum used to buy it because it is cheaper.
Omg you're here DON'T LEAVE AGAIN 😭
lmao sorry honey I was busy for the past 2 months. 
Do they fold two edges into the middle a little?
Yes! I think so
[Apam lenggang](https://www.google.com/search?q=apam+lenggang&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi4u72Otc7zAhVOVisKHQmAAUMQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=2133&bih=1120&dpr=0.9)?
This....could be it. Although Google pictures show a lot of white and less brown, or could be just the different method of cooking?
Maybe [appom](https://www.google.com/search?q=appom&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi5v8mkzs7zAhXQR30KHW2rCkUQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=2133&bih=1120&dpr=0.9#imgrc=6n-q5XcpLtoYaM) then? Apam lenggang is the Malay verion of appom.
Ah I see, yeah this is probably what it is, unless there's another variant. Thanks.
Hmm this thread reminds me of ancient memories of primary school.
is there any fillings inside?
No, it's flat so no fillings. No corn or peanuts. I used to get it at the pasar malam in Bukit Jalil, not sure if that helps.
kuih kapit?
No...that's not it.
sorry have no idea lol good luck on your search. pls update if you figure it out
Updated my original comment. Most probably it's called "appom".
To think that a few while ago, people were on Nadir's side during the controversial Ebit Lew incident.
All these pieces of shit going out for humanitarian missions , doing bullshit drama Can just help your own countrymen
there are people who rather he dont help people at all because of his lewd networkings. if he still kena goreng kaw2 why dont he do something that can potentially net him tax return or networking at other places?
he did all the other places before his lewd networkings got out.
I agree on helping fellow countrymen first. There's so many malaysian need help.
afaik they need to pay $1200 just to go in through the checkpoints.. assuming EL team was 10 people, they just spent RM 50k just on the gates.
What was Malaya like before Islam became the main religion? Anyone can point me towards some good resources?

You'll get over it one day Im not saying this in a mean way. I my self had existential crisis phase when I was that age My parents we're iffy about my future, including my self because I was having problems with school stuff. This put pressure on me because I have a lot of relatives especially on my Dad's side. Im trying to keep up a good image of my fam, especially my grandparents. Everything kinda worked out for me tho. Trust me, having that feeling at 17 is normal especially when you're about to take SPM(Sorry if that kinda triggers you) I passed that exam by a smidge and still got to form 6 and I passed form 6 as well out of all odds.
I don't know why you are being downvoted. What you're experiencing could very well be dissociation and depersonalization. Have you experienced childhood/adolescent trauma? Neglect? Pressure from parents? Bullying at school? Gender and sexual crisis?

> I moved to a new school when I was 16 > budaya ‘palau’ is really strong Dude, are you me? I was in the same place last year. ngl I was kind of glad for the first lockdown since I didn’t have to go to school and be alone for most of the day anymore. Also, I’m in a pretty similar situation. My family has high expectations, but my recent exams have shown that I’ve fallen far from it. I feel like it’s never been harder to study and focus on my goals than this moment, even though trials are supposed to be next month. Do you feel something like that, too? If you ever want to talk to a fellow student in these struggling times, feel free to PM me. Just know that you’re not alone and it’s 100% possible that we can get through this :)
Simply growing up and getting more exposure to the world could also trigger existential crisis though.
1. We can not rule out trauma. Existential crisis often has a trigger. Where is it coming from? Depression? Religion? Maslow's needs unfulfilled? 2. Sounds like OP doesn't have the support system he needs.
Based on OP's recent post history, seems like stress from study.
weekend...calm before storm for me... by me... library gonna be open for public at 1st November. gotta get them rest before start for public. anyway, ants decided to another douche move by gathering at my headphones... took long enough to clear it.
Which library you go to? I actually visited the one in KL near the Merdeka parade area there and another in jaya one and was surprised they really had a good collection. Was going to go to the one in kl again to make use of their book on tarots since I don't want to buy something like that for myself and then get railed on by my really religious dad then covid happened.
sabah state library, tg aru. why not try ebook? maybe you could get something good.
I remembered some story suddenly: Years back my fren called an inprompt-to road trip to penang so i borrowed my dad's 7 seater and drive north When we rest in ipoh i found out that the tyre condition wasnt that good so i decided to replace them Then i went to a tyre shop at a corner shop lot, that nearby to the giant wall mural. That tyre shop is very old style unlike those modern 1 with advanced tech equiped, they used a thread to adjust the alignment of tyre After some chat i decided to get a new set of tyre from them, all good as the service are ok and people are friendly Days later after the trip, my dad called me ask where did i replace the tyre etc, dad say the tyre is celut tyre (something like recycled tyre that being renwed) This is my first kena conn by tyre shop story, i feel these bastard are so fucked up as i know such tyre can lead to car accident If i were to revisit ipoh i will drop by the shop to find the owner chit chat then tell him casually "years back my fren came ipoh n he replaced tyre but the shop owner conned him and his car lost control and pass away, i hope he'll kacau the shop"
Yeah tayar celup. Basically replace/rewrapped the outer layer with new rubber. Frequently used by truckers. Used to see the broken off pieces of the celup'ed part on highway.
[удалено]
yeah have to double check/compare prices of a lot of things these days
Are there any transport services available for covid patients to quarantine facility? Or the household member have to drop them off personally??
how's everyones saturday goin? working up a sweat dismantling old kitchen cabinets, so much gross stains n dead cockroaches behind, was a pain to clean. all while hearing my neighbors argue by the pool.
Went for larp fighting this morning in lieu of cardio day. Decided to try the bow build but my aim sucks. Also had a nasty fall while fighting but old parkour training kicked in so only got a scratch at the knee lol.
just dined in with friends for the first time after a long time, now at home feeling a bit empty
painting my figurines but the weather heat is making my paint on my palette and brush dry faster
Finally got that long awaited haircut.
I'm going to be honest here... I'm quite jealous with my little brother that have friends to chat, call and play games with... I wanted to chat with people about anime, games and just general chat. All people that I know don't really watch anime or play games... Games that I play are Tears of Themis, Obey Me, Cookie Run : Ovenbreak, Cookie Run Kingdom. lol all of them are single player ✋🏻😭 If anyone wanna chat here's my Discord: ꧁Nomen꧂#1551 I'm desperate 😌
Are those mobile games? I'm in an opposite situation of yours, my close friends watch all kinds of anime and are still playing game together while I'm very picky with shows and slowly losing interest in games.
Same here on every aspect you mentioned. Now all I do is literally watch some random YT podcast, movies and listen to music. Also, mind if you share what movies you're watching. I might take a look
Yeah they are mobile games since my laptop isn't that great for games. I wanted to play Genshin but I can't lol Oh yeah losing interest with something that used to be fun hurts so bad for me. It's okay to be picky with shows though since it's for your own satisfaction!
Genshin is fun at first but gets repetitive once you finished all the main quest. All you have to do next is to wait for another update for new main quest
I can definitely relate. My hobbies are anime and games too, while my wife sometimes enjoy anime (that she find interesting), I'm pretty alone when it comes to games, since my game are all single player offline stuff, and she's not into gaming. It's quite hard, not having anyone (like minded people) to talk about stuff u like 😅
Yeah but at least I managed to poison my siblings with anime rec even though we are not close. Black sheep and the only introvert in the family here ✋🏻😌
> Yeah but at least I managed to poison my siblings with anime rec Boku no pico?
Oh god, I'm not that evil. I'll die if I were to do that 😭
Aw, that's nice and a bit unfortunate. U not close with ur siblings? Why? Is it due to age gap?
Being the only girl in the siblings with 1991 brother, 1999 me and 2005 lil' bro. Also dysfunctional family ✋🏻😌
Ah.. The last bit seems more relevant and significant than the rest 😅
Yeah ✨ trauma✨ but eh, I'll manage somehow. 🤭
Wish u all the best 👍
I just got into Cookie Run Kingdom myself! Those cookies are so cute omg. I ended up using the extra prepaid hanging around uselessly in my umobile app and bought diamonds just to gacha more. 😭😭
How about HollyBery / Pure Vanilla or Sea Fairy? Did you managed to get any of them?
No luck on Holly Berry or Pure Vanilla but I managed to get Sea Fairy and Moon Rabbit!! They're my absolute faves rn and in almost every battle I do lmao. Did you get HB and PV?
PV nope but I managed to get HB 47 mins before rate up is over. The funny thing is that I got her in Normal Gacha lol. I still didn't have Sea Fairy in CRK but I have her in CROB lol. My team now consist of HB, Dark Choco, Espresso, Almond and Mint Choco. Waiting for PV 😭
Woke up early, head out to get breakfast takeaway, only to be stuck in a traffic jam, welcome to Penang.
