I'm somewhere close to planning to go NC with my family members. As a single guy wondering, what does your future partner will think if you decided to go NC with your family. Are your current/future SO will be okay with that? Cause in future, assuming weddings or any other big events, your family won't be there? Society might spread rumors or being nosy af. Curious what are your opinions on this?

By tomorrow (Biology paper), I'll be done with SPM π. So much to get rid of lol π. Even after setting stuff aside to give/sell to juniors, I still have a lot of stuff. Rough estimate about 10-15kg of books, papers and old exam papers, I hoarded 5 years worth of crap and paying the price now HAHA. Trying to find a place where I can drop it off, and if possible get a little money back. I don't want to just throw it all in the regular rubbish bin.
About 3 days ago, i made a terrible mistake by checking out girls in Locanto. But, pls trust me that i never had any intentions to book any girls. I just want to text them and move on.
Anyway, i texted a girl via WhatsApp and asked for her rate. After she responded, i immediately erased the chats and blocked the number.
Within a few minutes, i received WhatsApp calls and text from unknown number (local number) claiming that he is Abang kawasan / Abang long. He accused me for harassing her girl and caused losses to his business.
In order to settle this case, he asked me to make payment and i transferred RM 200.
He called me again and said it's not sufficient and asked for more. I paid another RM 400 and he then escalate this to his Ayahanda. The Ayahanda is using 2 foreign numbers. One is Indonesian number and another one is Philippines.
The Ayahanda told me that I need to pay another RM 3000 or else he will spread my pic (taken from my WhatsApp dp) and my phone number to his WhatsApp group and post it to facebook. He also threatened me and my family with death threats.
Feeling very anxious with the threats, i decided to make a police report (just a cover report btw). The inspector told me there's nothing to be worry about and told me that it's a scam and they just want to extort money from me.
After i got home, i searched some FB profile and pages and i was shocked to see that there are postings of my WhatsApp dp together with my chats with the girl (with my number displayed on the chat). Basically the postings, is to alarm the members of the kongsi gelap to find me.
So far i only managed to find 1 personal FB profile and 1 FB page (only 1 person as an admin and the same person as a follower).
I have blocked all the numbers and I have also reported the images to FB (to my disappointmet, FB have decided not to put the images down as it has not violated the community standards).
Ever since i got back home from making the police report, i haven't receive any calls or texts from them.
I know that it was such a foolish act from me but it has caused me panic attacks and i feel like i cannot function like a normal human being.
What should i do next???
Pls help me. It would be very helpful if anyone that had been in the same / similar situation to give me some advise on what i should do next.
Hi, I need a gaming laptop for gaming and my AI work. Although I cannot use my GPU for AI model training in laptop because it needs more vram. But I cannot go for desktop for certain reasons. I chose Lenovo Legion Slim 5 4070 at first but by the time I got money only 4060 is available. But since in March new 5000 series laptops are coming I am confused whether I should buy 4060 now or wait for 5000 series. However, it is also would best if I can buy the laptop in February because I need it as early possible. I also don't know how much will 5000 series laptop cost. My budget is around 7000 MYR. So bottom line is, I need a laptop asap but I am thinking if I buy 4060 laptop now, will I regret later for not getting 5070 laptop since it's coming next month. And price could be a concern here. I am confused. Please somebody help Me.

Please suggest a good sunscreen brand that is affordable, of good quality and good quantity. I've only used Biore uv water based 50spf and Anjo 50spf before but idk... the biore is too expensive for me and anjo has crazy white cast.
I go out a lot like at the park, stroll in the morning and afternoon type of out, aside from errands so I desperately need sunscreen because I stopped wearing it for around 5 months now and my skin is really suffering. Thanks in advance!
Saw a few people complaining last time that Maybank doesn't inform you that they're depreciating their air miles conversion (They just put it on their news page on a niche part of their website)
From 1/2/205 - 28/2/2025
I've just redeemed my miles today and there's still stock remaining, so go convert asap.
Ok quick question since Netflix have increased the price and now there are rumours that Netflix is gonna charge again for ads / without ads so my quick question is do you guys still subscribe to Netflix? Or have made the change to Disney+? Or just stream illegally?
Iβm paying for my whole family but with the price hike it just annoys me T_T should I unsubscribe?

Hey guys, I am planning to apply for B1/B2 visa to visit my gf in the States sometime after August this year.
However, I saw many post on Reddit stating that it is hard as hell to get one especially for SEA.
Sharing my current situation as of now, I am a Final Year student and doing my internship until end of July, My graduation is around October to November. I might or might not get a return offer.
My plan was to apply during May or June, where I saved up enough so that my bank statement looks presentable? Arnd RM20K-25K not including flight tickets (I know is not a lot) for like a 3-4 weeks stay, since I will be staying over my gf house.
So basically we met during an exchange program in a third country, and she also visited me during December last year. (Don't whether this is a useful info)
The problem is, my only selling point to prove that I will not overstay is that I have to return for my convocation. And I felt like this is not a very strong commitment to persuade the officers. If I do manage to get a return offer, which I will only know after July, but I am planning to apply earlier since I assume it is a lengthy process.
And my bank account doesn't seem persuasive enough? Furthermore, upon reading other post of a similar situation as me states that mentioning having a partner is a RED FLAG, but some saying I should be truthful? I am confused, but I leaning on the side of being truthful, as I am mainly going there to visit my gf and tourism.
Fellow Malaysians, I need your wise advices. Terima Kasih~~~
I've never experienced this when receiving a parcel can someone please help? The courier is j&t.
Looking for help from those who have experienced this before! I ordered 50 pieces of shirts for an event on February 8th, but my package has been stuck in customs for over a week (since 22th Jan). Before placing the order, I confirmed multiple times with Cainiao Express if they could deliver on time, and they assured me there would be no problem. And they have clearly overpromised and have zero info about Malaysiaβs customs process. They just keep giving me those useless responses. From my research, it could be a tax issue, and Iβm fully willing to pay as long as I can get my items on time. Does anyone have any advice on how to speed up the process and ensure I receive my package before the event?

So i am thinking of getting lasik, just want to ask if anyone here done it before and how the outcome is . I done a bit of research on price wise, it seems malaysia lasik is expensive af ( or maybe there cheaper one u can recommend) , lasik at egypt cause around 1k but here surely 5k( as i know) if anyone done lasik abroad do give your review, for flights ticket im not quite sure but i think 3k returns.
Just asking is it legal to do this kind of thing? i got a friend, her mother doesn't even let her go out her home to hangout or relax somewhere.
Her mother doesn't like her that much but still doesn't let her go outside. Later on she finish diploma and while waiting degree she said her parents doesn't let her work and doesn't even want to give monthly allowance.
I feel bad for her, she just want to release her stress out somewhere but her mom doesn't even let her go anywhere and just say if she broke whatever her mom told her, she wouldn't want to give her allowance or even kick her out.
and yeah, her parents abuse her mentally.. not that bad it's just getting bad words, demotivate her, not even supporting her, getting scold almost everyday and forced to endure all the house chores
