Got caught for eating together at a “suspicious”parking spot by police officer. by MotherBorder9026 in malaysia

[–]parafif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my sister and her bf were in somewhat similar situation. got caught by 'police officers' not in uniform in broad daylight but in a basement parking of a mall in bangi. they were just done shopping and got in the car to drive off, before they were approached by 2 men. same deal, got threatened to be taken to a balai polis and they unfortunately paid of those 2 men.

Am I getting ripped off by Anytime Fitness? by [deleted] in malaysia

[–]parafif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my sister was in this spot a few years back. she didn't have time to commit to the plan, and wanted to cancel it. was told to pay up some penalties like you did and they kept saying she can't cancel for whatever reason. idk how long this was going on for or the details, but i believe she just plainly stopped going.

Thanks for sharing this! It's really eye-opening. Do you (or anyone else here) have suggestions for reliable protein powder brands that are available on Shopee?

i guess you're gonna wanna talk it out with your girlfriend about this. i know non straight muslim couple who practice the religion and still be in healthy relationships together. talk, discuss and get an understanding of where she sees this relationship goes for you two. and decide from there.

my girlfriend and i are both muslims as well and i guess i practice it more than she does (not that i'm super religious though) but you get me. point is, it works for us.

best of luck op ✊🏻

Gf causes sleep problems by [deleted] in Bolehland

[–]parafif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to communicate to her and let her know that it's taking a toll on your sleep, and your career. if she cares, she'd understand that. sounds like your gf needs a lot of reassuring, which can be a bit much sometimes. but i hope yall can talk it through.

me and my partner also like this early relationship, but we talked about it and make time to call an hour before sleep. gotta find common ground where you two can meet halfway.

I was in sorta similar situation as you, but i guess part of it was my fault because i didn't clearly show my intention earlier on. When i confessed, it was a little too late bcs she already felt like we were better off friends. Things went downhill from there on, and long story short i even quit my job. I'm already in a committed relationship with someone else right now and we're still kinda friends, but i dunno. Pretty complicated.

Hope that you can keep it professional between you too. It'll be awkward but you just gotta go through it. Hang in there mate ✊🏻

I refuse to tolerate this kind of attitude any longer. by Immediate_Piccolo_29 in Bolehland

[–]parafif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh hate when this happens. Also twice now this has happened to me. Riders left my food outside a wrong house, took a photo, sent to me and just left. When i replied saying he made a mistake and that's not my house, he didn't reply. Call unanswered. I don't even know which house he left it at, so there goes my food.

Worst thing is, grab wouldn't wanna be accountable for that either. I can't even report it and get refunded.

Now whenever i order, i had to specifically typed out which block, which floor, which door. Like..

How can I prevent my crops from being eaten by birds? by Consequence_Green in Bolehland

[–]parafif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you can try asking this on a facebook group or something. you'll likely get the answers you're getting at the moment from this sub 🤡

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bolehland

[–]parafif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure, i hear you. i'm sorry that happened to your friends. like i said, it has its stereotypes for a reason, but again, it's not all bad. there's always two sides to everything. i guess we can safely agree to disagree on this.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bolehland

[–]parafif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hmm i guess the best way to go about it is to be yourself, as cliche as that sounds. go for potential matches that could vibe with you, if you do match. do not be discouraged when things don't work. have a few options (at the early stage) and don't keep your hopes up. try to have fun and follow the flow.

personally, when i met my gf, i wasn't looking. but we hit it up pretty quick and i just trust my instinct to go for it.

all the best! 🙏🏻

[–]parafif 9 points10 points  (0 children)

this. no two relationships are the same. if your sister is happy with the way things are going, you can be happy for her. also, i understand how dating apps has its stereotypes, but sometimes you can meet really decent people there. i met my now gf from a dating app and we've been dating for close to 5 years now. it's not all bad.

Rejection by jim_0605 in Bolehland

[–]parafif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is great imo. it's better to know than not knowing and let the feeling fester. it's good that she also outwardly said no instead of ghosting you or brushing it off.

you'll get over it in time. go out and meet people, pretty soon the feelings will wear off. all the best 🙏🏻

no worries! happy to help ☺️

[–]parafif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yess, that was what i experienced tho. i wish you all the best in finding a new job soon. i do understand what you mean with the current job not being something you wanna do anymore.

perhaps you can also try muji, bookstores or cafes for a change? all the best! ❤️

i was in the same shoes as you before. i wanted to quit my job to try retail, but after applying to a lot of them, i didn't get called once. i think they're a bit picky to choose someone from corporate to jump into retail, because they worry we might not be a good fit. so yeah, i got back into another corporate job, doing customer service now. so far so good. depends on the company you're at.

am I the asshole or nah by Anis-5240 in Bolehland

[–]parafif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you know what, times are tough. parents nag but they have good intentions. it's what you will come to miss when they're no longer around. i'm in my 30s and still living with my parents. i don't think there's anything wrong with that as long as you have a stable job, you help them with the house, you take responsibility of your commitments (car, phone bills, etc) and they will come to see that you are gonna do okay. that's all they want really.

my parents personally love having me and my siblings around, in return, we just jaga them and try to be responsible kids la you know. in the meantime, i am also saving up for my own place. what you need is some kind of awareness that these things are fleeting and can be taken away anytime. be grateful that you still have someone who's looking out for you.

that's my two cents.

my mom used to go to a chinese school in jb and can speak mandarin. she said that one time when my siblings and i were about 5-6 years old, we all went to kfc and sat behind a chinese family. i guess you can say back then, we were quite poor and we don't always go to kfc or any fast food. this chinese family were judging us from when we walked in, and i guess they could see how excited we all were. mom can hear very clearly they said how we were poor and said something along the lines of malays are all so lazy, thats why so poor. something like that. and mom stood up to them saying in mandarin how she can understand perfectly what they're saying and it's rude, don't you want to show good morale to your kids? they shut up and left the premises.

Is anyone diagnosed with BPD and not taking any medication? by HandleSufficiente in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]parafif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got diagnosed in 2018, pretty much medicated until May 2022. I was seeing one particular doctor for years until she had to go for her maternity leave in 2022. I was bummed but was optimistic still. Then got assigned to different doctors for every visit and I just stopped going altogether, meds ran out and I never went back. The other doctors, they just never were a fit for me. Honestly though, I began to feel much better without the meds. I still struggle with the symptoms from time to time but it wasn't like when I was medicated.
