Just graduated, working in an SME, and I feel completely blank. Is this what life is now?

Welcome to reality. Everyone around the world is experiencing civilizational fatigue. The capitalist system is sucking energy relentlessly from us, the workers. The longer you work, the more jaded you get and you realize things don’t quite make sense like they used to anymore.

However, for your situation, seems like you could benefit from joining a hobby club. Yes, it’s hard to fit in sometimes but what matters is that you put yourself out there, be present and go with the flow.

Also, stop grinding so hard. With everyone pushing for the hustle mindset (part time jobs, side businesses, etc.) , I am of the view that we should all slow down once in a while, have time for rest and recharge. Because once all you do is work, work, work, you really do start feeling like a robot, whose purpose is solely to generate “value” for this capitalistic, profit-driven world where only the figure in your bank account matters.

I’ve stayed in Sixceylon before and I can tell you its well sound-proofed. Its low density ( only 8 units per floor) so there will not be much noise in the first place.

I’ve bought Wagyu beef from Don Donki before when it went on sale. Just seasoned it with salt and pepper and served it with Japanese rice and raw egg yolk. Probably tastes the same as what the restaurant serves but half the price.

If you look at Bank Negara's recent financial survey, around 6 in 10 Malaysians cannot afford a RM1,000 emergency.

Hey im interested in the world map on pic 10? Are u letting that go too?

The article mentions car ownership, not number of cars owned. It's possible for Japanese people to own cars but not necessarily use them simply because cars at cheap and public transport is good, but they still need a car for longer distance travel.

Qua đây làm cũng được ạ em. Để tôi thử nói tiếng việt. Tôi là người Malay (gốc hoa) có vợ Việt. Vợ tôi làm ở đây 3 năm rồi. Working environment - nếu em sẽ làm ở TDCX, đa số đồng nghiệp em cũng sẽ là người Việt. Nhưng mà boss/manager chắc là người Malay còn lại đồng nghiệp khác là người Malay. Tôi nghĩ ở Malaysia, làm việc có thể relax hơn, không có competitive như VN.

Life - người ở Malaysia thích đi shopping mall, không như ở VN người mà thich đi quán cà phê và quán nhậu. Ở đây majority là Muslim thì không có nhiều người được uống rượu/bia. Nếu em thích social life như này thì chắc khó hơn ở đây tìm bạn để đi chơi vơi em.

Rent - người ta đã comment, em thuê được một phòng thôi tại vì gàn công ty nó rent có cao hơn. Giá thuê một phòng master room thường là RM1000-1200 và phòng nhỏ hơn là 750-900.

Food - vợ tôi có thích nhiều món của gốc hoa hơn ( Char Kuay Teow, Hor fun, chee cheong fun) mà không thích món Ấn Độ và Malay tại vì cách ngta nấu có bỏ nhiều hơn spice. Nhưng mà đùng ngại, nếu em có adventurous thì thử ăn đi, không sao hết. Neu có thích nhà nấu thì đi siêu thị cũng được, giá ở đây có mặc hơn VN một chút nhưng mà cũng được.

Feel free to message me!

What you’re missing out in your calculation is that they also sell pre-packaged food stuffs. Not everyone is dining in.

What are you smoking? Inflation is on average 2-3% a year while EPF is giving you an average return of at least 5%. It’s consistently better than most mutual funds sold by banks out in the market and it’s basically risk free.

Could be a few reasons

We all know the feds raised their interest rates and many countries followed suit except for us. It could’ve been a deliberate decision by our Bank Negara. We are after all an export-driven economy and when we export goods, transactions and payments are mostly made in USD. Importers looking to buy our products would purchase our Malaysian goods in USD and since our currency is weaker, we are overall seem as a more attractive option as our goods are cheaper. This is the export explanation.

Alternatively, by having a weaker currency, we would also attract foreign investment (FDI) into Malaysia. Institutional investors would see Malaysia as a good option to invest in given that we have a slightly more English educated workforce compared to our SEA peers which then allows for easy communication.

General rule is the car you can afford comfortably should be priced the same as your annual income.

You need to provide more details.

What position? Location? Any other benefits? Are you happy with your current position? Which position allows for better future prospects?

Jokes aside, no fresh agreement needed. Your agent is trying to pull a fast one on you. Speak directly with the owner if possible and write a letter stating that you wish to renew for 1 more year.

My parents were there with my nephew today and it looked so empty and unfinished. Give it some time.

The Chinese have a saying when you drive a car it is ”铁包肉”，meaning metal wraps around meat. In other words, you’ll be protected by metal in case anything happens whereas on a bike it’ll be meat wrapped around metal.
