logan paul showed dead body on youtube

afif95 — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 10:15:06 +0800

logan paul ni bodo sial. fella literally went to aokigahara to find dead bodies. found one, made fun of it and then uploaded to youtube. the video was titled "wWe found a dead body in the Japanese Suicide Forest…"

backlash has been extreme. sophie turner tweeted " You're an idiot. You're not raising awareness. You're mocking. I can't believe how self-praising your “apology” is. You don't deserve the success (views) you have. I pray to God you never have to experience anything like that man did.". mkbhd "Now seems like a good time to remind the world that YouTubers like the Paul brothers DO NOT represent the entire community. That is all."

various other youtubers and famous icons have also weighed in on the matter, mostly calling out on logan paul. Pewdiepie criticised and uploaded a reaction video.

logan paul has since uploaded an apology video, which has ads running before the showing of the video itself. the original video was removed.

Cheque clearing time

afif95 — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 12:22:44 +0800

Hi everyone.

On Friday I will be getting a cheque. Was planning on going to the school (I'm a part time teacher) Friday morning, and deposit it. If this is the case right, how long will the cheque take to clear? It's intra-bank, from RHB (I think) to Maybank.

Is my first time getting a cheque lol

Moving from Taylor's University to UM

afif95 — Tue, 12 Apr 2016 23:44:04 +0800

Hey guys,

So my parents and I decided to move me to UM to study Economics, due to financial constraints. Previously I was doing the American Degree Transfer Programme at Taylor's University. I used my A-Level results to apply to UM, and still yet to receive an offer letter. In the case that I do though...

I love Taylor's Uni so much. The social setting there fits my liberal progressive values (Bear in mind I am a Malay Muslim), my programme mates are a friendly bunch and the opportunities there are endless. I go around and socialise and I'm not afraid to talk/do controversial matters with my peers because of how open-minded they are (Like we discuss about gay tendencies from time to time). I have a girlfriend there and welll... you know how the couples in this uni are like? Yeah, the intimacy and PDA are our thing as well.

I'm really afraid that I'll lose all this if I go to UM, especially as a Malay Muslim. Don't get me wrong, but I am wary of any sort of societal pressures there to shape me into "who I should become" or "go back to my roots". Also, due to my upbringing (I studied in a US high school), my Malay is not that great and I prefer to speak English most of the time, so I'm worried about the pressure to push me back to speaking Malay.

To be fair, I really don't mind if I don't have friends as good as I have now in Taylor's Uni (I can just drop by and hang out with them anytime), in fact I don't really give a second thought to what people think of me, because I know the sort of achievements and great things that I have done. But I am quite worried, honestly, of the immense societal pressure, should there be any, to change me back into the traditional Malay dude.

In all honesty, I've never met a single UM student in my life. Nor do I know the culture there. So I guess what I'm asking from you guys is to help me understand how it's like in UM there, what sort of people you meet, and how's life like particularly as a Malay guy (or is there no difference), etc.

Thanks lads

Afternoon tea places in Subang?

afif95 — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 01:14:27 +0800

Hi guys.

I'm going on a date with a girl before I send her off to her flight for her sem break. We agreed to tea but I'm still not sure where to bring her yet. I thought of Delicious at Sunway Pyramid, but that was only because I found no place else in Subang that offers a cozy atmosphere and good tea.

Does anyone here know another place where two people can sit down, have tea and a good conversation? The more "special" the better, because I guess this is the last day I get to meet her before she comes back late next month.

I thought of Piano Lounge, but as much as I'd like to say money is not an issue, I've also spent too much this month ahaha.

Discussion on beginner lifters

afif95 — Tue, 05 May 2015 12:16:05 +0800

Disclaimer: I still count myself as a beginner. Barely have five-six months of experience under my belt. Decided to join the discussion here a few days ago after I found out the existence of this subforum.

So let's talk about beginners, and being one. We were all there at that point. I suppose I don't exactly have a main argument except a few things that I found online that were interesting. I want to also share my experience so far as I've been lifting. Maybe you guys can address the below points, or maybe share your experience as beginner?

Questions:

For example, why do trainers (Jason Blaha, in particular) stress that beginners should find a programme, stick with it, and don't mess anything (Add isos, change sets, reps etc.). I understand that the number of reps and sets change the workload on your muscle and hence affects whether the fibres strengthen or the muscles "pump" (Correct me if I'm wrong), but why the extreme rigidity? Is overworking a serious problem?

Another thing that I don't particularly understand is why the notion against "brosplits" aka the random choice of exercises to work separate muscle groups according to muscle group days. I mean, is there a real issue behind brosplits? This "programme" seems to be under a lot of fire from Reddit, Bodybuilding, etc.

Experience:

With that, I wanna talk about my experience. I've always wanted to lift (Since I was 16 lol), but I didn't have access to a gym due to me being in a boarding school. It was only when I was 19 I realised there were two pay-per-entry gyms around my area (Subang), then I told myself that unlike the previous years, I really don't have an excuse this time. So I've been an active lifter since. Started with brosplits (Shoot me) with no clear aim, then started StrongLifts a month back, today I'm switching to ICF 5x5 as it's a more wholesome programme with good volume distribution. I've set my goal to strength for now. Don't really know why, but maybe because I believe that strength is the basis for bodybuilding. Could be wrong.

Since I'm situated in a boarding prep college, my friends and I set up a home gym with a barbell and a few dumbbells. Kind of maxing out on the weights we have already, so I'm planning to go to the college gym. When I'm home, I go to either Blitz or War3house. I'll be a more frequent War3house goer, because they have more bars. Also signed up to a Celebrity Fitness gym that's opening in Mid-June.

Also, I've met a bunch of guys along the way. There was this dude who was really helpful when I started, and taught me how to squat and deadlift. Also taught me some variations. I've also seen skinny guys with sibeh so high face staring at people intensely while doing 5 lbs curls (Funniest thing ever). And unfortunately, the arrogant "musclehead" types, but they're really a minority. Most people I've interacted with were nice.

Anyone wanna share their beginner experience/story?

64GB microSD susah nak jaga ke?

afif95 — Fri, 19 Dec 2014 21:49:42 +0800

Hi /k/, I dah beli this one Kingston MicroSD 64GB card since last June. Filled it up quite good, ada banyak udang and lagu. Left with about 17.5 GB. Now the problem is, everytime I try to copy something from the card either through my phone or a card reader, always got I/O problem, but often I just need to press the "Try Again" button la. Lepas tu ok balik. The phone same case, kadang-kadang bila dengar lagu tu (Alesana y'all), there'll be a huge pause between the songs, then after that baru the next song plays.

So what seems to be the prob here? Ke banyak sangat udang so ni jadi balasan dosa?

UCAS Application (PPE)

afif95 — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:03:59 +0800

Hi all!

I've finally finished and sent my UCAS application. Thank God i got good results in my AS exams, which gave me the confidence to apply to these unis:

1) University of Oxford
2) University College of London
3) London School of Economics
4) Manchester University
5) University of East Anglia (Insurance choice)

All for Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) course, except in UEA's case, where I applied for Politics and Economics. I've received emails from all of them confirming that my application has been received. For Oxford's case, they confirmed that I will be applying to Balliol College (Fortunately the best PPE college in Oxford), since I made an open application and didn't go for a specific college.

Now for my questions:
1) I've received 3 As for my cores (Maths, Economics, History) in AS and I'll be taking 4 cores in A2 (Addition of Further Maths). I'm fairly active, having recently gotten back from India for a social work workshop and an active member for AFS. My reference stated that I bring out excellent philosophical out-of-the-box points in open discussions, and I'm into philosophy, having read a lot of books. What chances do I stand of actually getting into Oxford? Does anyone have a friend in Oxford and don't mind sharing how they're like IRL?

2) I also have a blog, http://bit.ly/ridhwanroslan that I think has quite a few articles that bring up intellectual discussions. Should I email the schools the address to my blog so they can use that for consideration?

3) Have I made the right choices? To go for four top schools and only one insurance uni?

4) Is anyone here sitting for the Oxford TSA exam this November?

5) Do you like roti telur bawang?

Thanks all!
