Astro lovers and haters come in

FormalCat — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 21:31:41 +0800

I want to cut my cost for my entertainment. Netflix is like RM 70 and Disney+ Hotstar is also around RM80. Total RM 150 for those 2 alone.

I found Astro value pack for RM 110 for both apps and comes with sports channels so I can watch my football too.

Is it worth it? Does astro on the go work well while travelling?

If astro says 1 screen for Disney+, that means it's stuck to the TV only or we can watch it on our phone but it's one screen at a time?

Anyone else feel that road paint is neglected?

FormalCat — Mon, 13 May 2024 19:47:47 +0800

I used to remember that roads would be repainted once or twice every few years, especially in KL and Selangor.

Nowadays I feel like roads haven't been painted in a decade or so. Almost everywhere I go it's faded worn out lane lines and missing stop lines/arrows. I know our country is basically third world country, but at least this used to be taken care of last time. Shah Alam itself like shit the roads when it should be one of our best-looking ones.

Starting to feel like I'm driving in Vietnam/Thailand. Still not as bad as India or Nepal, but I feel like it's getting there.

Autistic assisted living

FormalCat — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 02:59:34 +0800

I have a relative who is severely autistic and the guardians are getting too old to take care of him. My relative is also not that young either. Around 85 kg and around 30 years old and daily care is definitely a handful.

What are the best options in this modern day to make sure my relative is well taken care of?

Does anyone have experience with nursing homes? Are dedicated home maids still the best bet?

Any advice and/or ideas are greatly appreciated

Lately we read a lot of people going out of country because jobs here don't pay well and a lot of them get scammed.

Are you happy with Malaysian public behaviour?

FormalCat — Mon, 08 Aug 2022 20:42:28 +0800

What are the things you're happy/annoyed about with our public behaviour?

Are you ok with how conservative Malaysians are? Do you wish we were friendlier to each other like how Aussies and westerners can simply talk to strangers?

Do you wish we were more daring with how we dress and express ourselves or are you happy with peaceful silences in public spaces?

This MCO really making me reflect on the amount of cars on the road. Modern cars, even cheap ones have a monthly installment of RM400, apatah lagi then more expensive ones? Drive to work and let the car rot in parking lot that some people pay RM300 per month. Tambah lagi all the other shit like maintenance.

Is it really worth having so many cars when grab is convenient?

Any prudential fags here?

FormalCat — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 23:21:08 +0800

I have a suspicious question about the premiums

I have a friend who I know since high school. not so close but can consider friend-friend.

He's been my "agent" for last year. I give him rm5000 because he said can help me bank in. Just now, I decided to have a look at my statement in prudential website to pay income tax.

Statement says premium received for the year is rm4000.

I cannot find the other rm1000

Is there another fee somewhere I forgot to look or something I don't know? Or is my friend here taking my money?

FormalCat — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 20:59:39 +0800

Do you have a water purifier at home?

Made by Coway, Cuckoo, what other brands are famous now? Got some sort of monthly maintenance right?

Do you guys think it's important? My grandparents lived up to 80++ years old without it. So why are we needing it now? Are we insecure?

My parents also at 65++ now going strong without such things too. Is it really better for our health meh?
