What should I do?

This is mostly rant i guess. I am a student. I am currently under scholarship. They gave me around 5000+ per semester, this includes everything, tuition fee and allowance. Tuition fee cost me 1500+ per semester, which mean if i paid it, I'll have around 3000+ more. This semester i don't need to worry about that cause i already paid it in advance without using the scholarship. So, i still have my 5000+. In short, for the past month ive been spending like I'm some rich kid with the money. Ive spend around a thousand for the past month and i have around 3-4 months left to be here. I have survived previously with only 400-600 per month but now i have the money, i can't help myself. Previously, i heard my friend said that his father gave him 5000 per semester, i was shocked cause that's more than i get for the whole semester before got scholarship lah. Now, i have around 4000+ and don't know what to do with it. I want to minimise my spending honestly. I already ration the money cause i have 3 separate banks with hope that I don't spend it all. Any suggestions to what i should do with the money? Invest? Or other stuff? I got asb and asnb also if that's matter, and the tng go wallet stuff

Anyone here who's working or previously worked with Google?

I've been long wondering why they no longer doing occasional updates of their street view ever since Covid? As someone who had just recently received a driver's license more than a year ago, you have no idea how this feature is so useful to me when i drive alone, navigating to somewhere me or my family never been. The street view allows me to take note of importants landmark for me to plan when to enter / exit / turn, and etc.

The most crucial aspect of the street view feature is it allows me to plan ahead difficult roundabouts like the one near Inanam Taipan, where i could calculate which lane i should use if i wanna enter Inanam Taipan from the city centre so that i won't burden other drivers if i made a mistake or worse, resulting an accident.

Aside from those factors i've been waiting my entire life stumbling upon one of their SUVs lol. If i happen to be walking by the roadside i would not hesitate to pose myself for their camera to capture me

Just take a look at JQ where the last time they capture was when it was still under construction, or the road near the Sabah admin building. Not sure if i've been blind but i never realised there was a staircase heading down towards the taman lol

Also, our roads been constantly changing in some areas so some of their visuals might be outdated by now and it's been nearly six years. I even saw myself standing in front of my high school where they captured me when i was form 3. I really hope they'd make a comeback 🥹

mau tanya about IT or software engineering field di sabah

I'm 25M. dulu pandai SPM straight A's even get scholarship from JPA to study oversea. tapi saya orang kampung, grow up di bingkor keningau, pigi KK pun maybe 3 kali ja my first 18 years of life. so when I did my preparation in KL, I could not adapt to the changes and get depressed, I failed for 2 semester straight so JPA kick me out.

since then I've been working with my aunt jual sayur during the day and burger at night to fund my degree in IT, OUM so full online. I'm pretty confident with my coding skill as I've been coding everyday for atleast 5-6 hours. specialize in fullstack and a bit of mobile dev.

but I notice when I look for jobs, there barely any job available for IT or fullstack dev in sabah, ada pun for mid to senior level, no entry level. most of them in KL, johor or penang. is IT or software dev not good career in sabah? do I really need to move to semenanjung? because of my past experience , I'm scared to move away from sabah

Anyone pernah kena company begini?

It happens last year, it is my first job ever (maklum la baru graduate kan). I work in a company yang buat bisnes baju sublimation as a Creative Designer. No, I'm not gonna tell you the company name. Time kerja sana, I really appreciate the experience la walaupun gaji dapat selepas 7 haribulan setiap bulan, ehek. Kawan2 kerja ada yang dapat gaji separuh2 dan ada juga yang tida dapat sama sekali (kiranya c boss hutang dlu dengan pekerja nanti bulan depan dia bayar tp separuh, smpi ada hutang dia dengan pekerja mau smpi 3k sudah). KWSP pun tida dibayar.

Well, tiba2 di pertengahan tahun saya kena admit hospital untuk surgery. 2 bulan saya di hospital and I didn't get my salary at all masa tu. Bayar bil hospital how?? Bila pulih2 sikit tu, after 2 weeks keluar hospital (selepas bedah) saya request la c boss supaya saya boleh Work From Home since saya kan cuma Creative Designer tempat dia. Dia tiada jawab ya atau tidak. Oh ya, forgot to tell yang kami pakai laptop sendiri untuk buat kerja. So, saya pun dengan happy membuat kerja dia.

Masuk hari gaji, saya tanya la c boss tu. Dia ckp nanti dia masukkan gaji bla bla. Tiga kali saya tanya. Tetap soalan sama. Last2 pigi la buat report di JTK. Sampai sana JTK, saya buat la aduan. Bila mention nama company, senyum2 c paci. Rupanya bukan saya satu org saja la buat aduan. Dia bilang tu JTK, nti next week kunun dia p lawat tu kedai. Tiada khabar. Kakak saya pun masuk cmpur juga la, sbb nda tahan kali dia tengok adik dia miskin (HAHA NDA BA). Last2 dpt la, tp tu pun gaji utk dua bulan berserta KWSP 1 bulan. Baki yg 1 bulan lagi dia belum bayar2 sampai ke hari ini. Dia asyik suruh orang datang ofis dan bincang. Bila saya tagih, saya masih ingat lagi ayat dia sampai sekarang "Asyik PM bila perlu duit sahaja" Memang la kan, hak saya pula tu. Alasan dia nda kasi gaji sebab saya cuma jaga posting FB dorang. Eh hello paci, kalau saya tida buat pos promo teda orang beli baju desgin merdeka kamurang tu. Sudah la KWSP saya satu bulan ja dia kasi masuk, cis.

OK la sampai sana saja, babaii.

Clue Company: Based Keningau - Theme: Merah

EDIT: Saya sudah berhenti dari ni tempat, tapi gaji saya yang satu bulan tu dia belum bayar2.

Never again buy fireflyz ticket BKI - KUL

I bought a flight ticket from BKI to KUL from fireflyz official website. The booking status for the flight at 5:20am is unconfirmed.

On the day of departure, went to MAS counter to check in. However the MAS staff said no such arrangement. There is also about 6 other passenger facing same issue.

I end up buying ticket costing me RM1700 to KL. A few days later i contacted fireflyz and they refuse to refund the ticket price of RM594 says it is no show ticket.

I feel scammed.

Update: They say will check with MAS first and say will arrange refund in 30 days.

Feeling lost in life

Hi I just wanna rant and hear some advice..

I'm a 22 y/o girl. I only have an A Level cert (science) & currently working as an accounting assistant. Right now I have some major things I'm worried about.

I grew up outside of Sabah so I never spoke malay once until I came back here. It's been 2 yrs but can't get along with anyone or blend in at my current work place because of our age gaps and different interests. The work is fine but I suffer from social anxiety due to bad experiences in previous workplaces. Everyone around me is always noisy and gossiping. I do not like to engage in workplace drama so I feel miserable working here.

At this point I've become resentful towards people but I realized I have no one to talk to & no one to back me up during disagreements. My coworkers think I'm weird and said I should go to church or seek therapy, but I am not religious nor am sure if therapy will really help so I'd like to hear thoughts about it. I honestly would prefer to find local friends who are understanding and will teach me how to blend into Sabahan culture instead. As of now, my only friends are overseas so I have no one to hangout with physically.

Next point is, my current salary is rm1.5k after epf, I have to save at least rm500 a month (emergency funds) so I'm sure it's not enough to afford a car or house. To make it worse, my family isn't well-off (unemployed mom & sister, broke dad - no retirement funds) so I will have to take care of them in the future.

Since I can't handle being in a workplace with people, I'd like to look into other fields that allow me to work alone/at home. I'm thinking of studying Chinese to become a WFH translator.

If that doesn't work out, what fields should I pursue to get a decent salary in this economy? I will consider even if higher ed is required.

If being socialable is required, how do I start becoming one? How do I make genuine friends at and outside of work? I need to start somewhere. Sorry if I'm all over the place and sound confusing.

TLDR; I feel miserable for being lonely and having no direction in life. I'd like to have genuine friends here & make a decent living.

Fell and my back got injured i think

So a few months ago I slipped and fell on my back. There was definitely swelling but after a few days it went away and everything went back to normal. but recently the pain came back which is not very comfortable at all especially since i have to sit long hours for work.

Can klinik kesihatan help me with this or do i just go directly to queen emergency(boleh harap ka juga doktor sana) or any other places? please dont suggest going to chiropractor since ive heard horror stories about them and i dont trust them at all.

thanks in advance!

Borneo Island - not touristy destinations to explore

Hey fellow travelers and backpackers!

I’m planning a solo trip to Borneo in April 2025, staying for 2-3 weeks. My focus is on exploring the incredible wildlife, hiking, and immersing myself in the local culture and cuisine. Originally, I had my sights set on popular experiences like hiking Mount Kinabalu, but I’ve noticed that many of the well-known activities can be quite expensive.

Since I'm traveling on a budget, I’d love to hear your advice on how to make the most of Borneo without breaking the bank. Specifically, I’m interested in visiting places like the Danum Valley (staying in budget-friendly hostels or lodges), Gunung Mulu, and Bako National Park. Do you have any affordable recommendations for these areas?

Also, if you have any tips on hidden gems or less touristy spots where I can see plenty of wildlife and get a deeper understanding of Borneo’s people and culture, I’d be so grateful. How far in advance should I be planning and booking these experiences?

Thanks so much for your help and advice—looking forward to hearing your insights!

Cheers!

Mold Prevention

Mau tanya bah if anyone here struggle with mold especially during rainy season 🥲 I live in an apartment and I would find mold especially on the surface of my cabinets and even on my child’s wooden toys that I kept in a separate room 😣 But mostly on furniture.

I admit that I may not have the best ventilation because the room that I mentioned ada window but it opens up to my wet kitchen / laundry area yang ada sliding windows juga tapi they’re closed most of the time when I go to work. I will only open the windows when I’m at home but they will be closed when it’s time for bed for safety purposes cause my unit is at ground floor.

I would really appreciate any tips on preventing recurring mold or improving ventilation 🙏🏻

P.S: They’re not black mold. At a glance, the mold looks like dust and they’re grey and greenish in colour.

Thank you in advance, everyone.

What is your best sleep ever?

Best sleep I will always have when the next day there's something important and urgent need to be done, and you must not be late.

That particular night will become my best sleep. Somehow the sound of alarm make me float up above the sky. The bed would become extra comfy and warm.

What is your best sleep ever?

Sharing untuk remajah

Mau share sikit sebab besok cuti sama hari ni saya rajin menaip (teda kaitan haha)

So... semua kawan saya dari WM (business owners) cakap orang Sabah yang dorang kenal/ ambil kerja semua baik - baik sama peramah. Salah satu dari dorang pula ada pernah komen "but they are hard to manage".

Hmmmm

Nda la saya mau tanya lebih sebab kadang - kadang keras kepala saya ni boleh tahan juga bahahaha

Untuk adik - adik yang keliru atau rasa lost lepas habis belajar, memang normal tu. Kalau kamu baru habis SPM atau matrix ka atau apa saja, kalau ada kemampuan sambung belajar, sambunglah. Bila kamu di uni ka atau kolej, belajar itu belajar juga tapi tolong lah cari kawan yang bagus. Kalau kamu sambung belajar di negeri orang, berkawan la dengan orang lain yang tidak sebangsa atau seagama kamu. Kalau kamu jenis yang rajin pigi Church, join lah fellowship campus juga kalau ada. Biar banyak manusia kamu jumpa. Pandai - pandailah bahagi masa. Jangan berkurung saja dalam bilik nanti otak kamu pandai biul fikir bukan - bukan. Pigi lah jogging ka atau apa saja. In this world where everyone is easily be connected with everyone, we are disconnected with each other more than ever.

Bagi yang lahir dalam keluarga miskin... susah... jangan pernah kasi jadi itu alasan untuk berperangai entah macam apa. Saya faham tu rasa limited macam mana. Tau dulu nda pernah saya faham macam mana rasa KFC tu semua... nampak di TV saja tapi masa tu memang tiada la bapa ada duit mau pigi bandar semata mau kasi cuba kami adi beradik KFC. Mau pigi KK pun teda duit la kan. Imagine one day (masih sekolah rendah) my cousin yang memang tinggal bandar sama biasa makanan begitu belanja KFC... punya mixed feeling! Rasa teruja, gembira sama malu pun ada. Tapi rasa awkward dia tu sampai sekarang saya teringat. Diorang ada ASTRO, komputer segala... rumah kami tiada. Diorang kereta besar - besar, kami ada 1 moto saja. Kalau ada kawin sebelah keluarga yang senang - senang ni, segan betul rasa sebab mau pigi tempat dorang pun mau sewa kereta orang... dress diorang semua lawa. Tapi baju saya lawa juga mama beli di tamu! (Sama itu abang naik basikal yang rajin singgah rumah ahaha) Tapi masa tu saya masi kecil saya tida faham kenapa bapa saya macam selalu mengelak mau pigi jumpa keluarga dia... jarang gila dia balik sana kecuali ada kematian.

Tapi semakin dewasa, semakin faham kenapa. Jadi saya tida terasa pun bila bapa nda mampu kasi kawan hantar matrix... sama nda langsung sakit hati bila tiada keluarga saya dapat datang time convo. Saya faham. Sama saya tau juga mesti bapa sedih nda dapat pigi. Ini yang buat saya sedih betul. Satu ja dia cakap "Bah mana gambar convo? Nanti bapa gantung sini." Sayang... nda sempat saya mau kasi beli dia kereta...

(Gila nagis saya type ni 😭)

Saya pun bukan datang dari keluarga bahagia. Dari kecil saya faham mama bapa saya nda ngam. Banyak tragedi dalam keluarga kami. Banyak makan hati. Banyak air mata...

Tapi saya bersyukur untuk banyak benda. Segala yang jadi dalam hidup saya atau keluarga kami yang penuh dugaan ni, nda pernah saya kasi campur aduk dengan pelajaran atau pekerjaan atau relationships dengan orang lain. Saya percaya kalau kita buat baik, baik lah yang kita dapat.

Kalau kamu mula suda cari kerja... moga berjaya. Kalau suda dapat kerja, kerja lah seikhlas hati. Jangan ajar hati mendengki. Mungkin kamu rasa penat buat sehabis baik tapi dapat boss yang tidak okay. Nda apa, cari tempat baru. Percayalah, kalau kita baik, niat baik... dunia ni akan bagi kita kenal dengan orang baik - baik.

Jadi kalau niat memang malas suda kerja sana, tolong lah cari kerja lain saja. Jangan sebab kita rasa annoyed atau marah, kita mula suda buat sambil lewa sama merungut sentiasa. Tiada faedah gitu. Ingat, dunia ni unik. Bila kita mula suda buat perangai lain macam gini, itu lah juga kita akan dapat di luar kerja. Sikit - sikit mau keluar duit untuk kasi baik itu ini, sakit lah apa lah. Makin lama makin nda suka hidup sendiri sebab semua macam bikin stress. Nda happy.

Orang - orang yang kita jumpa adalah cermin diri kita. Jadi setiap kali kamu jumpa orang yang 'bermasalah' adalah baik kalau ambil sedikit masa untuk tengok diri sendiri.

Semuanya akan indah pada waktunya. Dunia ni cantik sebenarnya.

Those who loaned from ahlong

Yesterday, an old smk classmate(2007) friend of mine suddenly asked to borrow 1k++ and he said he need to pay some house loan. He is an officer i think. So i suspect he must be in some kind of ahlong chasing him.

I quickly chat one of my classmate to confirm and yes he has problem with money management and loaned from ahlong. I tell him i just bought flight tickets to and from kl which is true and not much money i have left as an excuse. Even if i loaned few hundreds, he wouldnt be able to pay me back right? So i decided to not reply him back.

Why loan from ahlong? banks everywhere isn't. Anyone had friends like him?
