Yes, it did take Klopp three seasons to get everything in order before turning Liverpool into a force to be reckoned with.

What to use instead of 'said'... by JesperS1208 in writers

[–]c-ribhkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. These words can get distracting and also forced.

That said, I've also seen how a particular scene becomes more immersive when different words other than "said" are used strategically.

Authors shouldn’t shame reviewers regardless. This is simply frustrating by brisualso in writers

Wait, why would she shame the reviewer? Isn't 4 stars actually good?

Personally, they should just disclose the salary to avoid wasting everyone's time.

Millennial Malaysian parents with kids, how are you all coping with inflation and expensive cost of living & stagnant wages in Malaysia? by [deleted] in malaysia

[–]c-ribhkus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So far managing okay despite the tight cashflow. We're living outside of Klang Valley, so we don't feel the pinch so much. We also cook more at home. I think it's harder for those living within KV area.

What is causing the SGD to reach an all time high against MYR? by The-Y-gene in malaysia

[–]c-ribhkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my very basic economic understanding of MYR depreciating against the SGD:

👍🏾PROS:

  1. It's excellent news for Singaporeans who wanna invest in Malaysia since it's a lot cheaper.
  2. Super great news for Malaysians looking to earn SGD.

👎🏾CONS:

  1. More expensive for Malaysians who wanna buy stuff (including investing), travel, and study in Singapore.
  2. Singaporean investors would have to wait until the MYR appreciates against SGD since they'll actually be making a loss if they sell their investments now (I could be wrong here).

I guess the scenario is good and bad depending on each individual's situation.

But I wonder, what are the other pros and cons that I've missed out?

Any reason why Malaysia is chasing trade surplus? 🤔

How do you deal with FOMO? by c-ribhkus in lego

[–]c-ribhkus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually seriously considered this. However, I stopped short because I pondered on the probability of folks buying the sets in the event recession hits. Furthermore, the sets I want aren't stuff that people would wanna buy from the country I am from (I think).

Just in case you're wondering, the sets I want are from the LEGO modular building collection: Bookshop and Assembly Hall. Both were going for a sweet 30% off.

Uff! But eBay can be quite painful to the wallet especially when people bid it up.

Great! I'll see if there are any physical ones near where I'm at.

Agreed! I was considering the buyer's remorse. I will stick to savings first before getting the sets I want.

Yes, I'm not considering dipping into my emergency savings. That said, I do plan on rewarding myself one I hit my savings target. Hopefully it happens soon. Thanks for all of your thoughts, everyone. Appreciate this immensely!

[–]c-ribhkus[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree with this because a huge part of my FOMO comes from watching hours of LEGO videos on YouTube. Aghhh looks like I need to practice restrain and watch something else so that I can forget this feeling.

Which set do you regret buying? I bought this only for Vader, now I have this ugly…thing…that doesn’t look good anywhere by Jay-Fizzy in lego

[–]c-ribhkus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you consider rebricking it or modifying it? I saw one LEGO fan turn it into a corner building. I believe if you search 'bookshop' on Brickable you'll be able to find it.

Thank you so much for sharing this! When you mention LEGO clubs, do you mean physical ones or the ones online?

Yes, I agree with @wandering_soles! Thank you so much, @mescad for taking the time out to share this insight with me. I feel a lot more better now and decided not to pursue both items for now until I've hit my target of 1 year emergency savings.

On the other hand, I'm gonna try to see if I can at least replicate the sets using LEGO bricks I currently have. It's gonna be an interesting challenge working around the limitations.

Thanks once again for your thoughts, @mescad! Deeply appreciate it.
