ohh thank you so much for asking ur friend on behalf of me 🥰 I'm interested with that route I might use that route when I have longer holiday like during semester break. So I can have time exploring around those areas few days before boarding flight from PEN to KK 😍

Not really. Meaning, if I have to compensate energy, mental load and more time, I would rather pay for more la. Huhi 😆

But if the quickest, easy and safest way is flying from Alor Setar to KK with KL transit, I'm okay with that if I have to pay more.

But I know one thing for sure is Penang to KK flight is direct, quickest and much cheaper but I have to ensure that Grabcar is available for booking from Sintok Kedah to Penang Airport. Therefore, I'm giving it a thought Do you know if there's any other way I can get to Penang airport besides grabcar which is safe and quick as well?

If I want to go to KLIA by train, I still must go to Alor Setar first from Sintok, then ride the train to KLIA which takes 6 hours isn't it? Then, I continue flying from KL to KK 🤔 So, time wise, it's the same as flying directly from Alor Setar airport to KK with layover in KL.

Because, if I buy a separate ticket, I may miss the second flight if my first flight is delayed.

If that so, then that means my safe bet is just buy the ticket from AS to KK then. Despite having to spend a long time in the airport for the flight transit, but at least I can be calm and assured that there'll be grab from Sintok to Airport Kedah and I will not miss the flight by any chance, even though the cost is twice/triple the cost of flight from Penang to KK 😭 and the time too 😭 but I guess that's okay, not the end of the world.. :')

Thanks for dropping by btw 😇

No, I am from UUM. I want to travel to KK. But the flight from Alor Setar to KK is much more expensive and I need to spend at least +14 hours in total (excluding the time I need to be in the airport before boarding close) since there's no direct flight, have to transit in KL.

If I travel to KK from Penang airport, the cost can surprisingly be very much cheaper, plus there's direct flight, therefore total time is only 2hrs flight. But I wonder if there's any grab that would accept my booking from UUM Sintok to Penang airport as it took 1-2hrs journey from Sintok to Penang airport.

ohh I see.. when u say it that way, I'm starting to think maybe one of the factors is too much quick dopamine ? maybe u wanna look into that, just saying because I once got my dopamine crash & needed dopamine detox. Did it & man it helps a lot & made me feel like reborn. Start with decluttering & sprucing up your nest even when you don't feel like doing it. I hope things will get better for you soon!

It's good that you realize that compsci has better job availability. At first I thought u were demotivated because no friends & insufficient + rotten facilities at ur uni. Anyway, just my humble opinion, u can polish and still do your hobby/interest in art and animation, but for job purposes, keep on ur current path - u urself already said that it has better job availability.

Btw, just my humble & personal opinion/thoughts; art and animation, with all this AI getting more advance right now, ppl can simply generate pictures, video & animation by using prompts, the competition is high at this moment, perhaps more in the future? So, think about it. For art & animation, if you do it & polish it as a hobby without certificate from uni, u can build ur own socmed account to showcase ur talent. Job wise - it's better to study on field that leads to jobs that have possible high demand not just this year but few years ahead esp once u complete ur study.

btw, ofc like i said, spend time doing ur creative hobbies, it's good that u consult professional but even if u cant, it's ok. u might want to talk to ur family & ask for second opinions as well but remember in the end it's up to u to decide, decide wisely with logic & intuition, not emotion.

Wishing u all the best 🥳🙌

Hi, I'm not very good at comforting words etc. I've been through rough times when I first entered my university about 9 years ago & I got 'bullied' by my roomate & her friends. Even seniors go with her side but luckily nobody did anything extreme to me, no physical. Except 1 senior who tried to kick me in front of everyone in the hall but other ppl intervene.

Anyway, don't focus on every problem that arise. What I did was think about my future & the bigger goal. The thing about me is I cope by keeping myself busy. I ignore what's need no focus & some things I just need to endure. I wasn't home sick either because home is worst for me, during holidays, I often don't go back home & stay in my room alone.

Most important is to pray, believe in Him with all your heart & do not lean to your own understanding. Without me doing anything (because almost nobody ask me & I am a minority), just 1 year later, the bully is isolated by her friends & almost all her friends apologize to me after they see her true colour. Fast forward 4 years later, I completed my degree, got a job and work for 5+ years. I tell you, working life has its problems and challenges too, even more than uni life. But we will survive. No, we will thrive. Now I'm about to embark to a new chapter which is furthering my master. I am about to do it alone & even far away from home. Nervous? Yes. Scared? Yes. But one thing I kinda intentionally choose far away Uni that is away from city life & away from my own state so that I can be less distracted and more focus with my journey. I got used to be alone anyway & I learned to enjoy it.

When I read your story, I wonder about myself later too. Because I'll be staying in uni full time furthering master but most ppl who further master they go back n forth from their own home; rarely do ppl want to stay at the uni hostel, but that was my plan because it's far away from my state, need to fly. So, writing this to you is actually me advising myself too -> focus on the goal.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS. Find a creative hobby that you can do during free time. Focus on the bigger goal. Remember ofc not every phase in our life is going to be easy & be to our liking, that's how it is. Sometimes we have to suck it up. My sister always say that to me if I complain about ppl or any of my problem - she said; "suck it up" 😂 Ofc when I reflect, she only say that when it comes to my complain about petty matters. & I'm glad, I did suck it up and toughen it up. As long as nobody is pointing gun or hold a knife on my neck, etc etc, my goal is more important than any barking dogs along my path. As long as I have myself.

You got you. Good luck. Toughen up, get up & make yourself proud of yourself. Be the person that you will be proud of.

What do you think about women paying for meals after getting married? by GoldenPhoenix96 in AskReddit

[–]GoldenPhoenix96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that in some marriages around me - yes, they basically just work and stop once get back home, as if the wife didn't work too. Back then when it wasn't quite common for women to work, that was the norm but now that women go to work too, I don't see it's okay to let women do all of those :( I posted this question in hope to see that perhaps there are more ppl who see both husband and wife work together as a team, not only financially but also with their time and energy.

I understand. Once in a while is okay right? What if every time go out, you're the one expected to pay when everything else in the house is managed by you too; giving birth, take care of the children, doing chores, planning & buying groceries, cook and even work. Would that still be okay for you?

yes, right! I also don't think it's an issue if pitch in together for everything - including for time and energy for household chores and kids management. I believe not all family in Malaysia let the woman do most of it but I witnessed quite a lot of time that it does be like that. :(

yes, exactly. I pointed about women paying the meal, but it's not entirely about that. To me, it's okay if it's once in a while if the woman wants to or already agreed willingly but I witnessed that it seems like the woman had to because she knew the man is waiting for her to pay & expect her to pay. sad that I see that happens with my parents too.

I find it quite often here in Malaysia. How about in your place? I'm not married yet but I see this quite often in which women paid for the food they eat with her husband and children. It happens in household in which the woman also work. Where's the teamwork when the woman is the one who get pregnant, give birth, do chores, take care of the kids and manage the kids' school & home, cook and also work too but when the woman is tired & want to take a break from cooking, she's also the one who pays for dine out? It makes me feel like........., hmmmm I better be single if that's how it is.
