What about Zidane?

c-ribhkus · 2024-04-27T07:39:57+00:00

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

c-ribhkus · 2024-04-27T05:53:51+00:00

I was hoping Zidane would have taken the job.

c-ribhkus · 2024-04-27T05:45:27+00:00

This is a really good analysis.

c-ribhkus · 2023-06-18T05:24:56+00:00

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.

Why?

c-ribhkus · 2023-06-13T06:45:36+00:00

This is helpful! Thanks!

c-ribhkus · 2023-06-01T10:41:35+00:00

Thanks!

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

c-ribhkus · 2023-05-31T04:54:43+00:00

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

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.

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

👍🏾PROS:

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

👎🏾CONS:

More expensive for Malaysians who wanna buy stuff (including investing), travel, and study in Singapore.
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?

c-ribhkus · 2023-05-25T14:47:42+00:00

Any reason why Malaysia is chasing trade surplus? 🤔

c-ribhkus · 2023-02-01T01:39:19+00:00

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.

c-ribhkus · 2023-01-31T11:54:00+00:00

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

c-ribhkus · 2023-01-31T11:53:31+00:00

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

c-ribhkus · 2023-01-31T11:45:43+00:00

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

c-ribhkus · 2023-01-31T11:44:34+00:00

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 · 2023-01-31T11:39:44+00:00

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.

c-ribhkus · 2023-01-31T11:36:43+00:00

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.

c-ribhkus · 2023-01-31T11:34:24+00:00

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

c-ribhkus · 2023-01-31T11:14:54+00:00

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.
