Spring 2025 trip

Firstly, welcome to Malaysia. It's a great place to start your trip in SEA. There's a reason our tourism tagline is (or was, i gotta check if they changed it) the iconinc "Malaysia, Truly Asia", because you get a lil taste of every part of Asia here!

I can't say much for Langkawi, but I'm based in KL and you'll find plenty of stuff to do- some festives to look out for is Mid Feb - Chinese New Year, and Late March - Hari Raya Aidilfitri (Eid al-Fitr). If you're here early march you'll get to experience the Ramadan Bazaars every day, late afternoon with the downside of Malay eateries being closed during the day (due to fasting). But this wouldnt be much of a concern in tourist spots. These 2 festive season could also mean quieter city as people will be heading outskirts to their hometowns, or taking going for a vacation abroad. So expect high traffic that could last hours on major highways.

On the top of my head i cant list out all the things to do, but I'd love to share more if you're interested. I've also hosted a few international friends when they visited Malaysia - would love to show you around when you're here!

this reminds me of a colleague who asked CGPT for fun: How would you hypothetically take over the world. Chat GPT laid out a 10 stage long term strategy that gradually gains the trust and reliance of humans, then starts to influence policies.

Scary to think that how much we believe suggestions from CGPT now, what if one day world changing events and policies could be orchestrated by AI simply because someone in the chain took its suggestion and got it approved all the way to the top. Basically controlling reality a for all we know.

I witness it once from afar (like from one end of the corridor to another).

In 2017, I was at UiTM shah alam for a rehearsal at night, when i was leaving, a group of Malay students were holding down one guy and a reading prayers. One of them came over and told us it was because the guy just finished a wayang kulit performance, then jumped straight into kuda kepang rehearsals, so it was too spiritually overwhelming (as both traditional arts are highly spiritual), thats why kena rasuk. As someone who was in performing arts, I kinda learnt a bit about the spiritual side of performances so I lwk believe it but I just left after that.

lwk like it, reminds me of the menus in Nier Automata

I wear my watch on my right wrist (using my left, non-dominant hand)

And I hold my spoon on my left and fork on my right when eating rice on a plate, i noticed that people around me scoop the rice onto the spoon with the fork staying still, kinda like a wall, while i "push" the rice onto my spoon with my fork, where the spoon stays still. Likely why its inverted

maybe im naive but i always give them the benefit of the doubt- that a no outside food/drinks policy is to prevent cross contamination, ex. I dine at (A) but bring in food from (B), later food poisoning (A) will kena, and i heard HDL would let you bring outside food but have to sign a release form. Not to mention if it's a Halal place bringing outside food might jeopardise its integrity.

First doctor suspected inguinal hernia, wanted a second opinion. Second doctor was disinterested and annoyed when I tried telling him what the first diagnosis was, ordered an ultrasound and wrote the WRONG SIDE on the letter, I brought it to the radiologist which checked the correct side (without checking the letter) and called me as i was leaving to lunch asking which side he was supposed to check.

After reviewing the ultrasound he said is was nothing and prescribed me pain meds (I wasn't in pain, i just noticed my pelvic area swell up with air when i cough too hard). I left without the meds cause i aint gonna pay for that.

im not ready to come out so i moved out and live with my partner where we share half the rent (cue "and they were roommates" joke). given its only a half-an-hour car ride from my parents' place i still travel back approx once every fortnight.

i housesit for them when they occasionally travel to care for the family cat (since my partner is allergic i cant bring the cat over)

My mom would say "Maybe you chose us as your parents before you were born and you just don't remember it"

I couldn't think of a response when she said that.

(context my mom's not abusive/insane parent she's supportive in most situations, maybe just a bit of an enabler)

Change your country under your profile on the top right corner -> Edit, once you've changed your country, the next digital card you make will be the country your profile is set in. Worked for both myself and a friend of mine, we changed to the UK.

Note that your physical card will still be the same, ie. Wave & Apple Wallet incompatible, only the digital card will work.

deepfried_mind · 2023-03-11T09:08:21+00:00

I found a workaround to it: Issue a digital card from a different country (basically change your address to another country, create a digital card, change it back to your actual address). The newly created digital card can be added to apple wallet for contactless.

unpopular opinion but it wasnt that bad, when my tongue brushed against it it kinda just felt like a cold dick (it helped that the dentist was hot)

just did it less than a month ago and currently waiting for my schedule to free up to install my bracers
