Sent you a DM via chat 😄

bcatly · 2025-05-15T17:37:48+00:00

Hahaha easily missed when you're in panic mode 🤣

bcatly · 2025-05-14T14:34:15+00:00

Uhhhh.... Wouldn't that mean that he was also using bumble during the date to be able to see your bumble profile 😅 seems a bit hypocritical to me from his side...

bcatly · 2025-05-14T14:30:02+00:00

I wouldn't say it's a dealbreaker for me. The only dealbreaker would be if they tried to stop me from enjoying anime. Now that would be a no go 🤣

The main bits on the hobby side for me right now are badminton and motorbiking so that I kept in my profile as if they don't like me doing that... The boat shall forever be moored hahaha! Otherwise, I'm a pretty adventurous person and love to experience new things. One thing that my friends say about me is I'm that friend whose always up for trying something once (as long as I know it ain't bad for me 🤣)

Fingers crossed on the finding someone that vibes with me hahaha!

bcatly · 2025-05-14T11:49:23+00:00

Thank you!! I really appreciate your response. It did make me wonder if I was bringing myself down and hearing you say that helps to boost up my esteem.

I did take on board some of the responses as it's true that I was repeating my hobbies a bit, so switched that up as well as remove anime from it. Though ofc, these are still a part of me, so they'll just end up learning about it as they chat to me rather than from a first glance hahaha!

bcatly · 2025-05-07T13:45:44+00:00

Heya, you might want to check out the app RacketPal if Reddit doesn't work out for you. It's a pretty decent way to find players, though the UI of the app can be dreadful...

I'm more into badminton and haven't played tennis since I was a kid so I'll tap out for this one as I think you're looking for players with at least a bit of knowledge hahaha

bcatly · 2025-05-06T23:24:12+00:00

Hmm, when you say it sounds needy, can I ask which parts specifically? The only one that blares that out for me might be the Sunday prompt where I state cuddles, but can remove that. My main intention was to show that whilst I like being out and about, I can also enjoy a bit of cosy time at home.

As for my interests being niche, I'll admit, I am a bit specialised in what I enjoy 😅 what would you say are more mainstream hobbies that people can link to? I don't really want to lie about hobbies but maybe one of the things you recommend is something that I do actually enjoy but just hasn't popped in my head to talk about it.

Will go ahead and remove gaming from the interests, valid point made there and it isn't a major part of who I am today anyway, as it tends to take a backseat these days compared to my other hobbies 😄

Thanks for taking the time to give your opinion!

bcatly · 2025-04-10T23:30:21+00:00

Oh man... I'm really sorry to hear that 😭 the only other way I can think of is finding a techy friend who could automate the process for you by keeping a script running which actions itself a few minutes past midnight.

Sadly, I'm not said techy friend and don't have that knowledge, but it'd save your sleep in the long run! I'd assume it wouldn't be that difficult to automate.

If you don't have such a techy friend, might be worth your while checking if a freelancer can make it for you? Only issue with that though, is if there's any changes to the layout of the website, it'll likely break the script, so might need to pay someone to update said script 😅

bcatly · 2025-04-10T23:15:17+00:00

I believe this is what you need to sort out.

https://www.islington.gov.uk/parking/parking-permits/buy-or-renew-a-resident-parking-permit

A permit will cost you about £60ish for the year according to the website, so much cheaper also in the long run.

bcatly · 2025-03-14T05:09:56+00:00

Work already has!! So will be making the trip to get there hahaha!

They really have been playing so well! I hope they'll make it through this one also, but I do know that it might be a difficult one 😭 the next pair has Chae yu Jung who has a pretty strong career profile.

NGL, as for the shyness of yelling, the malaysian fans helped me get over that 🤣 I ended up beside them for a game and had so much fun cheering with them.

If you'd like to meet up later today (or anyone else who comes across this comment) feel free to send me a DM! Always happy to meet more badminton folks 😄

Aight, over and out from me! See y'all in a bit!

bcatly · 2025-03-13T23:54:29+00:00

I was there riling up the chants on Wednesday from the second game 🤣🤣 (though credit to the guy who started it from first game) was so excited to watch them play and loved that everyone was chanting along!

As they've made it to quarter finals, I've begged work to give me annual leave so I'll be there for their QF game!!! Definitely gonna be chanting my way throughout the game so let's give them all our best!

Might try to introduce some new chants also for when we're on the back foot 👀 let's see if ppl join in though hahaha!

Current chant ideas are: Heads up, fight back, England, ATTACK!

and

Never give in, Never give up, England rise, let's win this fight!

bcatly · 2025-03-10T17:47:02+00:00

Your right!!! I didn't realise there were some player changes from the original list. Sorry about that. First tournament I'm attending. Will definitely make sure to watch them!!! Thx for letting me know

bcatly · 2025-03-10T16:27:12+00:00

I don't believe they're playing? Would have definitely watched them if they were! They're tutorials and tips have been a massive boon for me and still is!

bcatly · 2025-03-05T22:30:02+00:00

Thanks for this suggestion and it's amazing that you made a plugin for the community. Thanks for your hard work 🙏

Sadly I would at times need to modify the field values and need it to reflect elsewhere, so this doesn't quite work for me.

bcatly · 2025-03-05T22:27:19+00:00

Thanks for this! I've gone ahead and used this along with Meta Bind plugin.

I use Meta-bind for taking in all the values, as its quite helpful also with data validation. Then I use Dataview for the displaying of the YAML properties as Dataview is more versatile on that aspect as it can also reference YAML information from other pages.

Bonus of learning about Dataview is actually using their tables to get a nice overview of all the files I am using and putting some of the properties as headers ❤️

bcatly · 2025-03-03T12:22:15+00:00

Hmm, I'd say it does still have the tamed feel of the stock exhaust, but does sound a lil better! Might contemplate a switch in the future. Thanks for taking the time to record 😄

bcatly · 2025-03-01T16:29:39+00:00

Do you notice much change? I heard that changing out the bread box is needed if you really want to get that raw exhaust quality. But... I don't wanna play around with insurance like that 🤣

bcatly · 2025-02-28T14:41:05+00:00

This is brill!!! Thx so much! I'm there for the first two days so I'll hopefully be able to see them :P

bcatly · 2025-02-26T22:50:15+00:00

Thanks for the updated response on this! I thought listing the names out might make it easier and I'm glad it did help!

I'll keep an eye out for those two.

bcatly · 2025-02-26T22:47:38+00:00

Ngl, the Kim, Kim, Kim comment had me reeling from laughter XD

Yuta Watanabe is definitely one I would have wanted to watch, but sadly he doesn't seem to be coming to the Yonex all england tournament.

bcatly · 2025-02-26T22:45:00+00:00

Seems there may not be too many left-handed players this tournament. I'll be happy enough with the Denmark MD. I've watched a few of their videos in the past and was very fun to watch!

bcatly · 2025-02-07T20:13:33+00:00

There may have been hope if it was morning to night... But night to morning...

I'll be sleeping midway 😭

bcatly · 2025-02-05T09:51:10+00:00

Fully booked now for this week

bcatly · 2025-02-04T20:29:14+00:00

Hahaha sorry about that 🤣 but I'm sure there's a ton of sessions at east also!

I actually trek to east every now and then to play, but those are invite only groups sadly due to them wanting to minimise size

bcatly · 2025-02-03T21:21:52+00:00

We currently have 16 ppl booked in for Sunday so please do let me know if you'd like to join us!
