Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
This week has been a terrible, horrible, no good week with my mental health so bad I'm debating making an appointment with a psychiatrist next week.
But for now, a bright spot: One of the Russians convicted in absentia for the MH17 has been arrested. Though for criticizing Putin.

Hope you’ll get through the hump!
Sorry to hear about your week, hope you're holding up. Though talking about it with someone might be helpful indeed. Would however suggest that you might want to see a therapist/counsellor instead of a psychiatrist (unless you have been seeing one, or are looking for medical help), as they might be more suited to what you may need in dealing with the stress and difficult experiences. We've also copied the mental health wiki over here to c/care if you're looking for information on this. Wishing you the best!
Thanks. I've already been seeing a therapist for over a year. They reached an impasse.
I see, sorry to hear that too! (But it's not a problem - this kind of situation with therapy can happen.) Just wishing you that you'll find some support and help you need (in professional service or otherwise) soon!
Went to KLCC yesterday and wife asked me to get some present for her friend's kid at Smiggle. Holy fuck, the price.. Pencil case starts at RM69, RM350 for a bag. RM45 for a stationary set but only if you buy something else at full price. My friend mentioned that his 7YO nephew had lost friends because he was the only one in his circle that didn't had Smiggle. Man, kid these days. I grew up in a upper middle-class household, having one of those multipurpose pencil case with built in sharperner & multiple drawers was the height of luxury.
Smiggles today, Iphone tomorrow. Stop the train, buy Faber Castell
Your 'friends' are not worth it kid
This is some classic M40 student in a T20 class drama that I'm too B40 to comprehend.
Man, i've seen more roadrage perpetrator being V plate and in KV more than in Melaka. KV peeps have no chill lmao
what traffic jam does to a mf...
It's the carbon monoxide bro
IKR? Some folks can't even be honked at.
I once honked at this car because he was between 2 lanes, so I honked at him thinking he was distracted or something, I overtook him (smol Kancil ftw) because I don't want to be near a possibility drunk or tired driver. He proceeded to give me the middle finger.
One P license plate brake checked me cause I honked at him for cutting in from the left while I was signaling to go left.
I nearly go down the car to fight with him, only got stopped by @imaginelizard.
I nearly go down the car to fight with him
That's the road rage im talking about, so...
🙈

Yes, it's the one with number 2
thanks
On reddit r/worldnews, Malaysia rarely get into the news, good or bad, but here in c/worldnews at lemmy.world, we're constantly getting featured by bad news lol
Late at night when this thread was still freshly forged, i saw that it had zero comments and 5 upvotes.
That means 4 lurkers skulked by in the deep of the night, upvoted it, and went away.
Oops, I pinned the post but forgot to upvote haha so make that +1 :P
Morning, wish a good weekend to you all!
My day ady got ruined lmao, wanted to go out do something but heavy rain started pouring down T_T
Ahh, too bad. Hope it won't be too bad at bon odori.
It's also drizzling here too
Yea PJ here, wanted to go Pavillion jalan-jalan but oh well…
My klang friend told me it was already raining like hell over there but I told myself it probably wouldn't rain in my place until about 10 but I guess I'm wrong LOL
Let's hope it does not extend to the evening...
Purposely went all the way down to Setia Alam to grab the deal. According to the PIC I talked to, apparently myTukar has a massive car paint workshop in USJ for a while now, but there were barely any customers. The price previously was even lower than the current promo price. Apparently the workshop has such a great capacity to do paint jobs, don't even need to set appointment, can just walk in.
Promo deal is valid for 3 months. RM500 deposit. FWIW the undercoat option is an additional RM800 that is to be added-on upon recommendation. Body panel repair is RM150 per panel.
As for the EVx expo... Ok ok la. Don't expect huge halls like KL Convec or MITEC. Parking was RM5. Got food trucks around. As expected the Tesla booth has the largest crowd. Not in a position to be changing cars yet so didn't really go gaga over the cars there. If I was in a more leisurely mood I'd have walked over to the Setia City Mall to jalan jalan.
Would've shared the above news in the transportation comm, but the 'what do we talk about here' thread put up quite a hostile attitude towards car topics, so malas lah nak share situ.
I’m creating a car community soon, maybe we can have discussions about ICE, EVs etc there.
I told my friend that vaping is bad for him, and it’s better that he smokes cigarettes because with the latter you smoke a lot less (need to pick timing and location so it’s an extra hurdle).
Told him that there are some studies about young ppl having stroke vs cigarettes whereby things take a while to occur and also depends on other risk factors.
He just stood up, walked over to the bin and binned the vape… I’m like yo wtf you didn’t have to bin it I’m just telling you what I’ve read man…
Now I see him rolling cigarettes but my intention was for him to stop vaping and smoking as a whole…. T.T
Travelling with my sister but couldn’t stand how negative she is constantly stress about really insignificant stuff and she has the tendency to delegate and externalise all that to me. She picks multiple hills to die on every single day.
Told her that I’m gonna travel by myself and walk around according to my own schedule, she‘s upset. Why the fuck would I want to suffer man, I get so stressed and anxious around her cause she’s always stressed and frankly I’m on holidays I don’t need no negativity
Wah sounds like she's got unresolved anxiety and (subsequently) no self-soothing skills
Still, hope you've managed to get a decent holiday out of it
Update : I came back from shopping all day, she literally started whining again complaining how tired she is, how noisy the mall was, what she saw what she bought etc… then complain I’m too loud when I’m literally just answering her out of courtesy.
God she’s killing me ☠️
This is what not having friend + not having a support network look like, people…
Great weather to be napping y'all.
Got a Proton Saga as Grab, compared to previous one the NVH improved a lot but damn it’s literally a rattle box and I can feel the drive train vibrations too at idle. A 4 cylinder engine by right should not be like that
Yikes, Good Vibes Fest got cancelled. I really hope this doesn't leave a lasting impact on Malaysian nightlife.
I think the organisers already l got the business connections etc.
They will be back as something totally different. Definitely not anything that might tie them back to this scandal, but they wouldn't just die off like that..
The organisational talent and events market and people's spending power can probably support replacement or alternative events.
Hopefully...
Any fashionista in the house? Which one is better small or big?
Small one macam for old ppl, the curves big one macam for church. Help!
Also where the hell is my photo, can you guys see
Big one, i prefer
Same… looks to me to be functional but my partner dislikes big bag but idk if this is considered big.
Hmm, this doesn't looks too big, but ask your partner better haha
If ask her no surprise and she will also just say no, knowing her…
The closing lid(?) on that small one looks sleeker tbh. I choose that
I like that one cause it’s like RM350 cheaper also…
Has a sling and it turns into a smol messenger bag
Oh. Just FYI. I'm a guy. So my opinion is of a guy.
lol over reddit there, suddenly so many newcomers post about The 1975 issue. come on, before posting read about the sub rules.
The umami from Sukiya's miso soup hits me so hard I'm having a headache. Bon odori plan pretty much cancelled. Balik tido je la.
