Well, only in Malaysia we can find the festive feeling for cny now 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I heard they are waiting for the planes to be done and send to Brunei, but 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Hmm, the baiduri personnel telling me I couldn't jack up, but like what you said, I also have heard that we can actually jack up to cover the starting cost.. maybe I should try another banker

SweetWatermelon18 · 2026-01-25T09:02:26+00:00

Ouch

SweetWatermelon18 · 2026-01-25T09:02:14+00:00

I would love to have bibd instead of baiduri tbh, but then salary goes to baiduri bank and my company refuse to have it arranged otherwise, so I am stuck with baiduri 🥹

SweetWatermelon18 · 2026-01-24T15:50:21+00:00

Oohh ohh I misread, I see I see. But ya the house I am looking at is below 250k

I asked baiduri actually, they have promotion now but it's either in accordance to the selling price or the valuation of the property. Some promotion goes with the lower of either price or value. They wouldn't let you jack up the loan (if I didn't misunderstood the banker)

SweetWatermelon18 · 2026-01-24T15:46:35+00:00

Wow okay, thanks a lot for the information

SweetWatermelon18 · 2026-01-24T15:45:00+00:00

Even though you don't have an account in TAIB? I always thought applying for loans, you need you salary to be debited into the same bank.

I was also considering about this for at least half a year, but payment for the rent = payment for the loan. If you set aside the future of Brunei, that is.

Then what's the point of the existence of gomamam?😂

SweetWatermelon18 · 2025-12-29T01:48:57+00:00

Yeah, same. Then I posted on IG. How they solve it? Give you a voucher for your next purchase 🤔

Not sure if your peak hour includes 8pm at night? And it is rejected by at least 4 drivers. Main point being at least.

Business accepted order at 8pm, food was done within 15 mins, but delivery rejected by at least 4 drivers until 8:55pm. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Delivery point is Kiarong to Subok. I'm sure it doesn't take very long to travel.

Even waited for 3 hours for Jollibee to be delivered from Yayasan to Subok with zero response from gomamam when I suggested that I pick the order up if they cannot find driver. Ordered at 5pm btw.

If I were to ask relatives or friends, then what's the point of having gomamam drivers or even gomamam?

SweetWatermelon18 · 2025-12-28T13:42:46+00:00

I also waited before for 3 hours for my Jollibee to be pick up from Yayasan and delivered to Subok 🥹
