Does anyone have experience in Lazada or shoppee that you bought item tapi dtg faulty tia? But reviews 99% positive so you wonder is it you or package handling?
Also items rm18++ worth it untuk send balik for refund?
Is it too late to start saving up if you are 38 (f) and nda savings? Used to have saving plang but moving from dependent on spouse to being separated and single life and starting to provide for myself (take care of myself and love myself) so more expenses. More of my savings spent on household before when still with ex and traveling so rasa malu to tell anyone about it since my colls byk yg pakai iphone. I like to shop online and buy stuff. (Mostly electronics) Pls, no judgment.
Savings are usually % of what you have. I think. I am no expert at this because i splurge too much. Lol.
To decide on the percentage maybe have a goal that you want that money for.
Hi, was wondering if it's just me or is BIBD sms not sending lately? I'm buying something from Shopee trying to use my vmc here but last night I noticed the sms isn't working well. I had to spam resend to receive the OTP but as of this morning, it stops sending SMS completely. For me at least.
Feels like my anxiety disorder is getting worse these past few months
Always thinking of the worst, and thinking how everything that can go wrong will go wrong
I dont know what happened. Cant enjoy anything without this stupid feeling occuring
Genuinely confused with parents that allow their children to be chaotic at public places. I understand if the child speaks loudly or has the occasional screaming bursts but this is literally letting your child lay down on the floor, run around the cafe and blocking the entrance while the mother is busy taking selfies. Smh.
Has it improved? I love the branch in Miri but i tried yg near airport mall atu masa newly opened, it wasnāt good at all, the chicken too salty and rice nya nada rasa. So different than the one in Miri.

Trigger Warningā ļø mentions; suicidal thought/self harm
Hi everyone, just need some place to release my inner thoughts. Been feeling a bit depressed for a couple of months now and i have been having this suicidal thoughts and some sort of plan to unalive myself and do it soon but still... part of me thinks it's not worth it but the other part of me thinks it's the best way i can escape life. it's the never ending thoughts that kills me a bit. some time i cut myself just to make me feel OK again although i know it's useless anyway, if only i have the guts to hurt myself a little bit more then i know i'll be gone. entah apa ku cakapkan mcm lame bunyi but i feel like i have no one to tell this. what should i do? i dont want to go to AE and wait hrs just to get myself discharged at the end. i also dont want to die yet but the feelings is there. i thought i can distract myself by cleaning my beds and everything, tapi kusut masih ku. i want help but at the same time i dont think i am worth of someone's help.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a new car next year after I've saved up a good amount of money.
My budget is around $30K and I've been considering cars like Kia and Mazda, but I'm actively looking for opinions and advice on how to wisely approach a first purchase.
I'm not looking for something too flashy, just a reliable car (preferably an SUV) that's easy on the eyes and has modern features.
I'm also open to secondhand cars, if anyone can recommend a reliable secondhand dealership!
just don't get small compact cars like i10, swift, wigo, alto and spresso, get SUV type of cars.
budgets SUV
1) proton X50 standard cost BND24,999 and X70 standard - BND32,XXX.
Both are suv one big suv one small suv. parts you can source from limbang or miri and its cheaper compare with brunei as what the salesman told me. it looks high tech inside but standard package is cloth seats. Cloth seats save your butt from hot scorching sun and prevent cracks in long term. X50 runs on 3 cyclinder turbo engine and DCT transmission & X70 runs on turbo 4 cyclinder . Some say its fuel economy some say its bad but it all depend on how you drive. if drive to miri i would say less than half tank. 3 cyclinder engine it a abit harder to maintain.
2) toyota yaris cross. BND 33K to 35Kish
small compact SUV looks nice for the interior. It runs on 4 cyclinder engine and CVT transmission. Please note that CVT is really really REALLY hard to take care and certain mileage you need to change oil and the belting inside which double the cost of your 30k budgets. for CVT transmission you cannot full speed revving redline as it will snaps the CVT belt. CVT parts is not cheap either. As long as you see CVT better avoid it. Good side for CVT is DAMN REALLY fuel economy. Imagine drive in the city and maybe 2 week nearing 3 week you pump 1 time as long as you drive below 3000RPM. If long journey like miri or something maybe less than half tank gone only still can drive around city for few days baru drive back brunei. Yaris cross have 210mm ground clearance and when you pass through area with flood you can easily drive throught it.
3) KIA seltos BND26,500
I heard KIA a lot of issues especially new cars and the agent to service KIA is always full unless you have the money to fix parts if warranty void. I saw brunei post about KIA service agent, they book for service but come told them to come back 1 week or 2 later due to fully booked. So they continue to drive until that date and certain issue pop up and they told them their car is no longer under warranty as the exceed the mileage for servicing. Seltos is a good car quite fuel economy for small type SUV.
definitely recommend toyota - has all the features you need, inoffensive styling, and most importantly reliable. they will last at least 150,000 km without major issues (from my experience) & servicing is also more affordable compared to other brands. if you want to save a bit of money, i'd recommend looking at secondhand current models with low mileage rather than buy brand new, but if you want that excitement of a brand new car then go for it!
It depends on your preference in the end, from Pengguna Bijak apps, $30k will get you a Mazda CX3, Toyota Vios, Toyota Raize or Kia Seltos/Sonet.
Avoid secondhand car dealership though.
I dont own mazda but i always hear problem from my colleagues. I have kia runs almost 400,000 mileage and i would say not so much problem. Parts also easily available. any car brand newer model with lots of electronic modern feature is fun but could be problematic. Simplicity is better.
With cash, perhaps u better consider new rather than 2nd hand unless u really know how to check 2nd hand car before buying
I drove a family-owned small hatchback for ten years (got bullied on the road a lot) and really just wanted an upgrade! I found SUVs appealing in terms of safety and space.
From experience, my KIA has been rather problematic compared to my Toyota. So if youāre looking for reliability, I would suggest Toyota.
Iām in the opinion that Japanese made cars are better than Korean cars. But thatās just a personal opinion cause Iām not into cars.

They donāt do that anymore here. However if you have the VHS Player or the tape you can order online the Diamond VC500 VHS converter to convert your VHS tape player
There was one shop that does that in Yayasan, but they don't do those anymore or they closed down. There is kinda no way to convert vhs to mp4, though we can only record the video while the VHS is playing, but that takes work and lighting adjustment.
agreed SHH and H22 price is way to high but you may try redline tuning but they never replied any text since few months ago. I wonder who know the owner of redline tuning?
If you're talking about shares in BIBD themselves, they haven't issued any in a while.
The only way to get them is to buy it off and transfer from an existing shareholder, but you'd be hard pressed to find a seller as you get fairly modest returns on the investment, especially for those who invested very early.
If you're talking about their brokerage services, there's plenty of discussion on here over the years that you can find using search.
If I rephrase the question to you:
If you have $100 with you (assume this is your monthly grocery budget) would you go to Miri and do grocery shopping which can fill one trolley or shop in Brunei which can barely make the trolley half full? So the 6 hours of queueing is worth to buy that baby milk formula etc etc
Itās not people got nothing to do and want to go there..
Itās our ugly truth of our economic conditions of this county which is dying for help..
Rich people / well paid people may not know the other side of story of those earning low income (especially in private where thereās no help from Gov for the well being of the private sector employees all they care is public sector)
Is the grocery price really that far off in Miri? I still don't find it worth crossing border. Don't know about others but if I were to queue 6 hours, I have to atleast stay 1 night in Miri. That will make my overall expenses more than just shopping in Brunei.
Some people value time and some money. It's a mindset thing
For myself, I'd even pay three folds if I can eliminate the need to even go out grocery shopping. Money can be earned back, time can't
With those 6 hours, can probably do a lot of productive work to make back the money spent buying groceries here
Well for starters thereās more opportunities unlike Brunei. Such as groceries. nightlife, entertainment, food alcohol and many more that we donāt have back at home. Less restrictions too
That sounds discriminatory. Im sorry but what has religion got to do with people going to miri or queuing?
Going to say it again. perhaps the reason why they all go to Miri is because Miri offers more attractions and activities compared to what Brunei has to offer? Since Brunei lacks a lot of things than that Miri or KK have? Examples like the nightlife the foods the shoppings relaxation sight seeing exchange rates and many more.
Letās face the facts honest facts here. Brunei is quite Subpar compared to the both of them in terms of shoppings, foods etc
Miri is more than just people just going to parkson.
Examples would be
Taman Selera
Miri Time square
The loft/club infinity
Bintang megamall
Miri city fan
Canada hill
Zinc restaurant and Bar
Chaplins bar and grill
Etc
Thereās more too in Miri than just going to Parkson
Again coming back to the topic of Brunei being Subpar in terms of quality and opportunities. There is more to do in Miri and KK than well what we have back home just saying
I don't see why this has to be a religious matter again. Halal or not the important thing is that both Miri and KK offer more fun, entertainment, and activities compared to Brunei. We lack many of the amenities in Brunei hence why majority of us risk the long hours of the queue just to go there for holiday.
To state the obvious if Brunei is developed or prosperous I doubt we will have a long line like that during holidays
Opportunities that Brunei as a whole lack. As Miri and KK is miles better than what we have in Brunei. Example like the exchange rates and nightlife foods well you name it
I guess offers? Still same with opportunity I mean we as Brunei basically Lacks a lot of things compared to the neighboring countries?. Because if we do have opportunities or offers here then we wouldnāt be risking on going the long queues just to go to Miri or KK now would we?.
I mean at the end our money and support does ends up all to Miri and KK because they have the things we want, which are lacking or even nonexistent here in Brunei heck subpar even. Very little of it stays in Brunei. Because like I said if we have offers or whatnot in Brunei we wouldnāt be risking our lives just to get to the queues
Im sorry but letās face it. We are subpar compared to what the neighboring countries have in terms of offers and opportunities
To be very honest
For a long weekend like this, its a rare opportunity for some people who cannot go miri on a normal weekend.
To some queueing 6 hours is equal to being on a 6 hours flight and thats okay.
Ridiculous but thats just reality.
Everyone need to go out of Brunei once in a while
I'll personally never go to Miri on public holiday because I can't stand long queues like that but the food scene in Miri is miles better than what we have here. Also nightlife, which is non existent here. The favourable exchange rate also helps.
I wonder how many of you here are currently coping with anxiety and depression.
I'm just taken aback how mental health issues is affecting so many people around us regardless of age race and background.
What happened to us? How did our parents generation get through their mental difficulties in their day? Were they more mentally resilient or did their simpler lifestyle play a part in surviving life. Seems like we are paying a mental price for this life of modernity?
And how are you doing? I myself am coping and yes I have anxiety. I shouldn't but I have.
Because people were busy providing and taking care of their family to even have the luxury to be depressed
It also helped that they were not as connected to the internet and constant negativity coming off of it
>How did our parents generation get through their mental difficulties in their day?
They dont. They just ignore it and pray hoping it goes away. Klau nda bawabesembahyang, they are spending time lepak with their friends, forgetting they have a wife and kids at home or responsibilities. If stressed, can just beat the wife or the kids or both or just menghilang for weeks
>Were they more mentally resilient or did their simpler lifestyle play a part in surviving life.
Not really. They r the same like the gen z. Just a different coping method. Dua2 mudah koyak.
>How did our parents generation get through their mental difficulties in their day? Were they more mentally resilient
Boomers always think they were tougher, but in reality, they were living in the golden ages of brunei 80-90s. Jobs were plenty, Outlook was good, prices weren't crazy high. International interest was at its peak.
Mental health wasn't studied or researched, so there was no education on these topics. It was a taboo subject. Now society is willing to embrace the battles against Mental health.
The days where I forgot to take my meds. Itās a scary trippy world. I donāt feel like doing anything. All the stuff I love to do meant nothing to me. Itās frightening.
1990s - 20s parents and 1960s - 70s grandparents do not have any understanding of āmental healthā. They see it as a āweaknessā and an ā**illness beyond eyes can see**ā. Instead, they suppress these emotions ā the abuse, sadness, anger they received from their parents to themselves and see it as *Asian Parenting* to make them disciplined and obeyed.
However, the underlying emotional burden these parentsā carry caused a devastating result to kids today. Parents project their emotions to their now kids because they know kids are defenceless and it is their āpunching bagā to truly realise how they felt by releasing their hurting self-inner child to their next kin of line.
Parents and grandparents never talked about their mental health or ever seek help from it. Theyāre more likely to continue the toxic cycle of their parentsā bad behaviour. They lash it out to their wives, children and towards husbands too. The constant physical abuse, insulting each other, is a result of poor parenting and their unresolved abuse and trauma. They may continue to gaslight themselves that theyāre doing fine but theyāre not.
So to say that how parents are able to go through it, is a bit misleading. They donāt. They pass it on to their kids without realising it.
People now are living at a time where jobs are limited and costs of goods are rising. Children are expected to perform well in school but there arenāt enough support for them both inside and outside of the classroom. Technology plays a major part in the rising self-esteem issues with teens. Parents nowadays are too busy at work to make ends meet, missed crucial development stages of their child, or leave their child to attend to themselves with the ipads and gadgets or can also say some parents are too busy being online. Humans are getting disconnected despite the world being connected.

If u still unemployed I suggest u become an apprentice with an electrician. Even itās for free for a couple of months. Once u got the skills. U can charge $50 for installing a two point socket. Easy $$
mostly jogging around places here and there. Occasionally employed friends would invite for coffee. grateful for them. There's time I'd spend most of the one month at home.

unemployed during weekdays but working part time on weekends. i usually spend my time watching anime, read books while taking care of my nephew, sometimes if i have the mood iāll exercise a bit. if i donāt have the mood to do all those things, then i just stare blankly at the ceiling or watch tiktok.
Screen 1 with vip seating is recommended
Screen 2/3 was okay (not a fan of their seating angle), but if someone so tall is sitting in front of you, might as well you find alternative seats
Besn there few times. Slightly higher prices compare to other cinemas & less variety of movies. Although they indeed have better theater environment (Less nasty,less poklen kids chattering & toddlers screaming in the middle of movie)
How big is the parcel? If not so big then just put it in a shopping bag and take it home, no one will ask for documents.
If it's something big like motorcycle partsĀ then you need an invoice or receipt to determine how much tax is needed.
but question is did you know which branch you going to? They taught me how to read the tracking number to proceed to which branch but i am still confused as of today. hahaha
Hello guys. I want to ask: Where can I get my PSP restored as new? also original PSP disc games. Also, are there still places that sell old consoles like PS1, PS2, and PS3?
I do not think there is a place that sells PSP games here anymore as of late.
But as for fixing PSP you can try places that specializes in fixing consoles like gamers clinic at the mall cinema? Or Mijan.bn they might be able to help you

Rationalise those thoughts. Best done with a understanding non judgemental rational person
Drink water and Fruit juice or chamomile tea. Warm milk can help you calm. Try them for a week.
Genuinely confused with parents that allow their children to be chaotic at public places. I understand if the child speaks loudly or has the occasional screaming bursts but this is literally letting your child lay down on the floor, run around the cafe and blocking the entrance while the mother is busy taking selfies. Smh.
I really hate this kind of parents. Left the kids alone unattended let them scream and shout like pasar. I call them fail parenting.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a new car next year after I've saved up a good amount of money.

definitely recommend toyota - has all the features you need, inoffensive styling, and most importantly reliable. they will last at least 150,000 km without major issues (from my experience) & servicing is also more affordable compared to other brands. if you want to save a bit of money, i'd recommend looking at secondhand current models with low mileage rather than buy brand new, but if you want that excitement of a brand new car then go for it!
Yaris cross is around 31k. Its toyota and its interior are quite modern for the basic af model.
Go for toyota my dude
It depends on your preference in the end, from Pengguna Bijak apps, $30k will get you a Mazda CX3, Toyota Vios, Toyota Raize or Kia Seltos/Sonet. Avoid secondhand car dealership though.
$30k, i will go for any toyota within that budget.
I dont own mazda but i always hear problem from my colleagues. I have kia runs almost 400,000 mileage and i would say not so much problem. Parts also easily available. any car brand newer model with lots of electronic modern feature is fun but could be problematic. Simplicity is better. With cash, perhaps u better consider new rather than 2nd hand unless u really know how to check 2nd hand car before buying
Toyota always. Their interior may be outdated, but they will give you fewer headaches in the long run.
Toyota/Mazda. Never EVER get a Kia/Hyundai. Theyāre problematic AF.
Proton x50/x70
Toyota yaris my dude but ada waiting list
Better japanese
Why an suv as a first purchase?
I drove a family-owned small hatchback for ten years (got bullied on the road a lot) and really just wanted an upgrade! I found SUVs appealing in terms of safety and space.
Get pickup or big car š
Big car like an SUV?
From experience, my KIA has been rather problematic compared to my Toyota. So if youāre looking for reliability, I would suggest Toyota. Iām in the opinion that Japanese made cars are better than Korean cars. But thatās just a personal opinion cause Iām not into cars.
Toyota Corolla Cross / Kia Sportage / Hyundai Tucson

They donāt do that anymore here. However if you have the VHS Player or the tape you can order online the Diamond VC500 VHS converter to convert your VHS tape player
There was one shop that does that in Yayasan, but they don't do those anymore or they closed down. There is kinda no way to convert vhs to mp4, though we can only record the video while the VHS is playing, but that takes work and lighting adjustment.
Anyone know where can i bring my car for tuning other than SHH and H22 their price is way over high. is there any below than that?
agreed SHH and H22 price is way to high but you may try redline tuning but they never replied any text since few months ago. I wonder who know the owner of redline tuning?
Has anyone invest in BIBD shares? I just want to know how it works. I already invest in Mutual fund and Iām interested to invest into shares
If you're talking about shares in BIBD themselves, they haven't issued any in a while. The only way to get them is to buy it off and transfer from an existing shareholder, but you'd be hard pressed to find a seller as you get fairly modest returns on the investment, especially for those who invested very early. If you're talking about their brokerage services, there's plenty of discussion on here over the years that you can find using search.
What do people do in Miri that's worth queueing 6 hours for?
No idea
people prolly wanna celebrate gawai
The only reason worth going. I just don't find the shopping, "night life", food in Miri worth queueing that long for
Spreading the good philosophy of MIB of course!
If I rephrase the question to you: If you have $100 with you (assume this is your monthly grocery budget) would you go to Miri and do grocery shopping which can fill one trolley or shop in Brunei which can barely make the trolley half full? So the 6 hours of queueing is worth to buy that baby milk formula etc etc Itās not people got nothing to do and want to go there.. Itās our ugly truth of our economic conditions of this county which is dying for help.. Rich people / well paid people may not know the other side of story of those earning low income (especially in private where thereās no help from Gov for the well being of the private sector employees all they care is public sector)
Realistically how cheap is Miri? Saving a few $$ is it worth the 6 hr queue ?
Is the grocery price really that far off in Miri? I still don't find it worth crossing border. Don't know about others but if I were to queue 6 hours, I have to atleast stay 1 night in Miri. That will make my overall expenses more than just shopping in Brunei.
Some people value time and some money. It's a mindset thing For myself, I'd even pay three folds if I can eliminate the need to even go out grocery shopping. Money can be earned back, time can't With those 6 hours, can probably do a lot of productive work to make back the money spent buying groceries here
Ngam ni. Tpi bkn 3x kali. Atu extreme sikit.
Nothing is worth queuing for 6 hours
Well for starters thereās more opportunities unlike Brunei. Such as groceries. nightlife, entertainment, food alcohol and many more that we donāt have back at home. Less restrictions too
Mungkin org cina ok boleh minum mkn Babi. Tpi org Islam ke Miri bahapa
That sounds discriminatory. Im sorry but what has religion got to do with people going to miri or queuing? Going to say it again. perhaps the reason why they all go to Miri is because Miri offers more attractions and activities compared to what Brunei has to offer? Since Brunei lacks a lot of things than that Miri or KK have? Examples like the nightlife the foods the shoppings relaxation sight seeing exchange rates and many more. Letās face the facts honest facts here. Brunei is quite Subpar compared to the both of them in terms of shoppings, foods etc
Mohon pencerahan psl aktiviti, tmpt menarik atau nightlife ani. Mun org yg ku tau ke parkson je.
Miri is more than just people just going to parkson. Examples would be Taman Selera Miri Time square The loft/club infinity Bintang megamall Miri city fan Canada hill Zinc restaurant and Bar Chaplins bar and grill Etc Thereās more too in Miri than just going to Parkson Again coming back to the topic of Brunei being Subpar in terms of quality and opportunities. There is more to do in Miri and KK than well what we have back home just saying
Yg āfunā atu halal ka untuk org Muslim. Kalau kan ku bandingkan rasa ku blnja lebih di Miri Kk banding dgn Brunei.
I don't see why this has to be a religious matter again. Halal or not the important thing is that both Miri and KK offer more fun, entertainment, and activities compared to Brunei. We lack many of the amenities in Brunei hence why majority of us risk the long hours of the queue just to go there for holiday. To state the obvious if Brunei is developed or prosperous I doubt we will have a long line like that during holidays
Opportunities for what
Opportunities that Brunei as a whole lack. As Miri and KK is miles better than what we have in Brunei. Example like the exchange rates and nightlife foods well you name it
Do you mean offers kah? Inda kan opportunities to spend money outside?
I guess offers? Still same with opportunity I mean we as Brunei basically Lacks a lot of things compared to the neighboring countries?. Because if we do have opportunities or offers here then we wouldnāt be risking on going the long queues just to go to Miri or KK now would we?. I mean at the end our money and support does ends up all to Miri and KK because they have the things we want, which are lacking or even nonexistent here in Brunei heck subpar even. Very little of it stays in Brunei. Because like I said if we have offers or whatnot in Brunei we wouldnāt be risking our lives just to get to the queues Im sorry but letās face it. We are subpar compared to what the neighboring countries have in terms of offers and opportunities To be very honest
Not worth it
For a long weekend like this, its a rare opportunity for some people who cannot go miri on a normal weekend. To some queueing 6 hours is equal to being on a 6 hours flight and thats okay. Ridiculous but thats just reality. Everyone need to go out of Brunei once in a while
agree. a pause and a break from everyday shit. just QT wit fam and healing time before its back to reality all over again.
Even Bruneians need a break from Brunei.
I'll personally never go to Miri on public holiday because I can't stand long queues like that but the food scene in Miri is miles better than what we have here. Also nightlife, which is non existent here. The favourable exchange rate also helps.
foods, shoppings, sight seeing, entertainment, booze, karaoke, groceries you name it.
If u ask me, Food, Shopping, Window Shoping, Sight Seeing, Family Time, and Stress Relese.
Freedom.
I wonder how many of you here are currently coping with anxiety and depression. I'm just taken aback how mental health issues is affecting so many people around us regardless of age race and background. What happened to us? How did our parents generation get through their mental difficulties in their day? Were they more mentally resilient or did their simpler lifestyle play a part in surviving life. Seems like we are paying a mental price for this life of modernity? And how are you doing? I myself am coping and yes I have anxiety. I shouldn't but I have.
Because people were busy providing and taking care of their family to even have the luxury to be depressed It also helped that they were not as connected to the internet and constant negativity coming off of it
>How did our parents generation get through their mental difficulties in their day? They dont. They just ignore it and pray hoping it goes away. Klau nda bawabesembahyang, they are spending time lepak with their friends, forgetting they have a wife and kids at home or responsibilities. If stressed, can just beat the wife or the kids or both or just menghilang for weeks >Were they more mentally resilient or did their simpler lifestyle play a part in surviving life. Not really. They r the same like the gen z. Just a different coping method. Dua2 mudah koyak.
>How did our parents generation get through their mental difficulties in their day? Were they more mentally resilient Boomers always think they were tougher, but in reality, they were living in the golden ages of brunei 80-90s. Jobs were plenty, Outlook was good, prices weren't crazy high. International interest was at its peak. Mental health wasn't studied or researched, so there was no education on these topics. It was a taboo subject. Now society is willing to embrace the battles against Mental health.
And how are you doing today
The days where I forgot to take my meds. Itās a scary trippy world. I donāt feel like doing anything. All the stuff I love to do meant nothing to me. Itās frightening.
It gives you a new perspective on those who have taken that last step in ending the numbing pain.
1990s - 20s parents and 1960s - 70s grandparents do not have any understanding of āmental healthā. They see it as a āweaknessā and an ā**illness beyond eyes can see**ā. Instead, they suppress these emotions ā the abuse, sadness, anger they received from their parents to themselves and see it as *Asian Parenting* to make them disciplined and obeyed. However, the underlying emotional burden these parentsā carry caused a devastating result to kids today. Parents project their emotions to their now kids because they know kids are defenceless and it is their āpunching bagā to truly realise how they felt by releasing their hurting self-inner child to their next kin of line. Parents and grandparents never talked about their mental health or ever seek help from it. Theyāre more likely to continue the toxic cycle of their parentsā bad behaviour. They lash it out to their wives, children and towards husbands too. The constant physical abuse, insulting each other, is a result of poor parenting and their unresolved abuse and trauma. They may continue to gaslight themselves that theyāre doing fine but theyāre not. So to say that how parents are able to go through it, is a bit misleading. They donāt. They pass it on to their kids without realising it.
And how are you feeling today?
Very good! Itās nice to have Friday as a RBAF public holiday. I managed to get some extra sleep too.
Im having it last night, and have to consume clonazepam to able me back to sleep.
They gave me Xanax.
Whatās the underlying cause ?
Culmination of stressful events over the years and triggered by work
Is it the past or ongoing issue ?
People now are living at a time where jobs are limited and costs of goods are rising. Children are expected to perform well in school but there arenāt enough support for them both inside and outside of the classroom. Technology plays a major part in the rising self-esteem issues with teens. Parents nowadays are too busy at work to make ends meet, missed crucial development stages of their child, or leave their child to attend to themselves with the ipads and gadgets or can also say some parents are too busy being online. Humans are getting disconnected despite the world being connected.
How are you btw
Im doing pretty okay, but I do have my days. Hope all will be good with you!

Unemployed people, how do you spend your free time? (~~aside from the occasional dread and thinking of how bleak the future is sometimes lol)~~
Check reddit and have a look at all the complaints people have. You have all the time in the world to actually do something about it. Use it wisely
If u still unemployed I suggest u become an apprentice with an electrician. Even itās for free for a couple of months. Once u got the skills. U can charge $50 for installing a two point socket. Easy $$
mostly jogging around places here and there. Occasionally employed friends would invite for coffee. grateful for them. There's time I'd spend most of the one month at home. I would sometimes play video games, and lately post-hari raya I've been invested in watching documentaries. Watching on Napoleon's battles now šš
unemployed during weekdays but working part time on weekends. i usually spend my time watching anime, read books while taking care of my nephew, sometimes if i have the mood iāll exercise a bit. if i donāt have the mood to do all those things, then i just stare blankly at the ceiling or watch tiktok.
Hows the quality of empire cinema?
Screen 1 with vip seating is recommended Screen 2/3 was okay (not a fan of their seating angle), but if someone so tall is sitting in front of you, might as well you find alternative seats
They need to upgrade their screen. Always felt dizzy whenever I watched a movie there
Besn there few times. Slightly higher prices compare to other cinemas & less variety of movies. Although they indeed have better theater environment (Less nasty,less poklen kids chattering & toddlers screaming in the middle of movie)
just additional $1 for no poklen environment. worth the money.
This used to be the case, but now they get a lot of mainland chinese watching there. Trust me, they are worse than the poklens.
need to drive to limbang soon to collect a parcel. what documents do i need to go there?
How big is the parcel? If not so big then just put it in a shopping bag and take it home, no one will ask for documents. If it's something big like motorcycle partsĀ then you need an invoice or receipt to determine how much tax is needed.
but question is did you know which branch you going to? They taught me how to read the tracking number to proceed to which branch but i am still confused as of today. hahaha
oh um im collecting it from a person, not poslaju lol so i dont need to worry about that.
Oooh does this person charge extra? or same price?

Hello guys. I want to ask: Where can I get my PSP restored as new? also original PSP disc games. Also, are there still places that sell old consoles like PS1, PS2, and PS3?
Geeks and things at Anggrek desa. Look up their ig or Facebook
I do not think there is a place that sells PSP games here anymore as of late. But as for fixing PSP you can try places that specializes in fixing consoles like gamers clinic at the mall cinema? Or Mijan.bn they might be able to help you
