Need advice for my situation

IntimaBoy — Fri, 05 Feb 2021 14:57:06 +0800

Hi everyone, so basically about a year ago a church person who was a foreigner needed some help. His wife was working as a maid here without any visa under some ang moh and wanted to go back to their home country to visit the dad who passed away during that time.

The guy begged me to temporarily allow his wife to get her visa under my name so that she could go back and see the dad before the burial and he promised to transfer the visa to someone else instead.

I felt being evil not helping out and since its only temporary then why not. So I applied, and his wife got to go back to see the dad before the burial and then return here to MY.

They went thru some kind of agent under some politician guy (I think),
and they didnt give me any documents or even a copy of the maid visa application.

Furthermore covid happened and until now there wasn't a chance to cancel the visa. I asked a few times if they could cancel it but they asked them to give them time because they cant find a substitute and only online renewal of the visa is possible.

So every day I feel depressed knowing that I got roped into this illegal sh*t and I can't do anything about it. The feeling that I could enter jail anytime and lose my current job including my study progress in college which I also started around last year. All efforts could go to waste and my life can get ruined.

I can't go report to the police because I risk exposing all those who are involved (i.e: the church, the guy and his wife, the politician guy) plus and I risk losing my work and my college progress because I'd end up in jail as well.

So I'm here again asking for advice if anyone has a better idea how I could handle this situation of mine. Thanks a lot.

What do you guys think will happen in the future?

At the current stage, I personally think that we are going to be stuck with this covid19 in our lifetime.

We will all have to adapt to it and live with it. Almost everything is gonna shift to online, and traveling will be quite uncommon.

Airline industry will most likely not survive if this is the case.

We do have vaccines to heal people, but that doesnt mean its the same as prevention (which is better than cure). Furthermore, many are looking into the cure instead.

Due to this including our rakyat who dont follow SOP and our incompetent and ignorant leaders will cause our numbers to continue to rise and we will always be stuck in this MCO/CMCO situation no matter what.

Economy will be down in the future if this is true and continue to be true.

Even if we reach 1 or 2 digit cases through extreme prevention (which is a miracle to achieve within this year alone and we know this sh*t is real), this covid19 will continue to affect our day to day life.

Even if we are almost covid free, we know clusters can still form from time to time and there are limited countries to travel to, plus its risky to travel. We have to still wear masks and even do social distancing, this is our new normal till our lives end.

If we choose to not wear mask or do social distancing, then we are not preventing and simply creating the same situation that we have now.

In addition to that, I also predict running any new business will be hard and troublesome.

Share your thoughts.

How do you run a business as a lone wolf?

IntimaBoy — Fri, 29 Jan 2021 21:58:44 +0800

So I just realized that my current friends have always been doing things which are different than mine. When they play games or talk about certain topics, they always are able to relate with each other and sort of plan things ahead without me knowing (i.e: gaming sessions, hangout at mamak etc).

It makes sense because the things that I'm interested in doesn't really relate with them much at all and they prefer to do things that give instant gratification instead.

Knowing this now, I feel like I'm just a lone wolf right now in running my own business. I'm currently working, studying part time, and now trying to start my own business (which I'm certain is gonna kill me if I dont have a partner to help each other to grow). The problem is, I can't find any like-minded peeps in my circle, so I'm stuck in this dilemma of trying to do a side hustle.

Any advice on where to find good partners?
My requirements would be those who are proactive and can also work independently. If dont have either of these traits then nvm la, I'll just solo do on my own for now...

How do you handle friends who like borrow money?

IntimaBoy — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 23:56:50 +0800

I have this friend who have been borrowing money from various people including myself since his college days in order to support his parents and pay other things as well.

He has been always been able to pay back, although not so frequently. Last time he borrowed rm500 when he was an intern and then paid only 80% back after 2 years but I didnt care about the balance since its very long time already that I didnt care if the money was coming back again.

Recently he found a job that pays him a decent amount yet he still cant manage his finances and sometimes he still asks to borrow few hundred from me. Recently he even got himself a gf, and I wonder what he does with his money. The gf got her own car and place to stay, and even pays for her own self. So I'm clueless how his money run out.

I'm wondering whether I should stop borrowing him money so that he could learn to manage his finance properly.

Any advice? Being straightforward is a bit susah when its a friend.

Do you think there is future for Malaysia?

IntimaBoy — Wed, 04 Nov 2020 20:11:52 +0800

Recently I think Malaysia macam no opportunity, now with technology and ppl going digital, lots of market are already established and taken.

Due to covid and political situation, we all know our economy already dropped kao kao.

U.S pun is a scary place to live at now.

Do you have faith in our country to survive this pandemic and come out strong, or will it turn into the same politic situation we've been experiencing?

Will we ever see the time where things go back

IntimaBoy — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 22:13:51 +0800

I'm not talking about the pandemic btw, I'm talking about how we messed up our world and that things will get way worse from here onwards.

20+ years ago, the prev gen can easily buy houses which were like 200k+
back then. Now the current gen have to bear with very high living standard, rents, and cant afford houses. Now you get paid 50% higher yet the houses are like 300%-500% more expensive.

Give you an example, you may even earn x2 of your parents combined back then but you still might not able to easily afford a house now. Kasi add on icing to the cake, last time a lot of ppl can easily build family after even buying a house, but now is different punya story.

The gap between rich and poor increases further and further, and our country is going nowhere because its run by joker politicians and we're not able to do anything about their backdoor tactics, plus they are not even accountable their own mistakes.

Start your own business pun susah right now because a lot of markets already saturated. I rasa macam if you takde world class talent/skill, you better get one or else you are approaching your doom as working a normal job is not viable option to live a normal life anymore 20yrs from now.

Need help with me depression

IntimaBoy — Fri, 09 Oct 2020 23:00:51 +0800

Hey guys, I'm feeling quite bad about my life.
I'm 26 years old and I earn about 4k (after deduct epf).
I have no education but I somehow got accepted into an MNC.

After working for some time already, I feel like my job role isn't going to get me anywhere as I'm not passionate and also not an expert at my current field.

I used to think that I'm good at what I do, but after joining this MNC I realise that I'm just average or even lower. I felt that I have reached my limit in this field after seeing so many pros do x5 better job than me. They can analyse things and work several times faster than me who has a slower mind and limited knowledge.

As a result, end up overworking usually but I'm currently just being grateful that I have this job right now and I'm just doing it for the sake of surviving (it's my only source of income).

After I saw my colleagues who are doing quite well (able to buy houses, cars, get married, etc), I also had this feeling of envy for them and also regret my past (I'm from a poor family, but it doesn't matter because my colleagues worked hard to get where they are now). I should've studied really well and got into a good uni overseas through some kind of sponsorship.

But that's over now, I sometimes like to tell myself that it's unfair because my parents are uneducated yet my colleagues had parents who were educated and could take care of their own family - they had a better start than I did.

I have no love life currently (had one ex gf who later ghosted me after we dated for 3 months). Prior to that I found myself hiring a prostitute just to experience what sex is like because I'm such a simp. I thought I would've awaken my own manliness/flow if I hired the prostitute, making it easier to date girls afterwards, but I was wrong. Up till this day I'm quite bad at dating. The girl I dated for almost a year online just lost interest in me, and I just had to write this post because I really feel so terrible right now. I felt bad for wasting her time because I could not travel and meet up with her throughout this pandemic too.

Currently I am thinking of opening my own online business amidst this pandemic but there's so many hurdles as I am only one guy with no other real connection whom I can partner up with. I do not own any house or car as well because my money was used to help share rent and bills with my old parents who have no retirement fund or medical insurance.

Any advice from you guys here is greatly appreciated.
