What do you think of touchy feely girls ?

Julia_Koh — Thu, 19 Jul 2018 00:28:03 +0800

A girl who’s comfortable with a lot of guys, treating them like brothers. So a lot of non sensual physical contact like arm, sulky teasing attitudes with them etc.

What do you think of girls like that (girls opinion) and would you date them (guys opinion)

Edit: not talking about myself per se

Am I being cheated?

Julia_Koh — Sun, 25 Aug 2013 22:37:27 +0800

I was stopped by some sales guy at mid valley ktm station last friday. He told me to open some card and asked me if I did go to Jusco or Aeon. It seems it was his final card and he was quite persistant in asking me to open it saying he want to finish and get commission. So long story short, apparently I got a winning card and the minimum I could win was 7000 or possibly a car. But the thing was that the catch was me taking a picture and promoting their company and also writing an article in english, malay and mandarin. So he told me that if I walked away with a car, jpa would even pay the road tax but I must have a bank account with deposit. A certain amount of deposit would correspond to a certain amount of free road tax. But according to him I needed at least a RM 1500 deposit to get the smallest which was RM6000 road tax paid. So I didn't have enough when he followed me to the atm to check. So he passed me his number and told me to call him to set up a meeting when I already deposited in my bank account. He also told me if i had to pay a single cent or buy any single item I can leave anytime.

Any idea?

How to stop self pity?

Julia_Koh — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 07:09:06 +0800

Hey there... recently I've been really down. Just need an outlet to express myself and also probably advice from people. Let me just tell you guys a bit about myself. At least the negative parts. I'm always feeling low in confidence.. trying to get approval of everyone else.. trying to please everyone else. I don't feel like I'm good enough. I'm a 5'5'' male and I get teased everywhere. So, I have been trying to improve myself in every way. Learning new things and even trying to get fit. Some people might call me talented or gifted because I cook, draw, play music, sing, get good grades and I dance as well as good in a few sports. I know I shouldn't really complain because alot of people are worse of then me. But I can't pick myself up right now. I think I spend too much time chasing perfection.. I find it hard to mix with people.. I feel quite alone sometimes. Also I feel useless.. I don't usually procrastinate.. but recently I've been doing alot of procrastination, trying to find temporary pleasure watching comedy and movies. And all in all, I pity myself for being in such a mess. Feeling like a *****, feeling like dirt.

Recent events might have also contributed to me feeling down besides just starting university. I lost a friend, a relative in a car accident.. I just ended a relationship with a girl whom I love. I was being too nice.. She didn't want to hurt me but I told her we could be friends if she weren't involved in a relationship with me. She was just in a relationship with me because she didn't want to hurt my feelings. I couldn't have that.. so I had to let her go. Although I did the right thing.. I can't get over it.. I'm not handling the situation well.. I love her alot and I'm feeling self pity again. I've dated a few times but so far I've been the rebound because I was there when the girl needed someone to talk to and I was just the nice guy. I felt the need to help everyone I see sad even my guy friends.

In that time, I gained a few kgs from binge eating.. It made me feel even worse..but I needed the temporary satisfaction it gives from eating ice cream and chocolate..

Then there s the quote that says the guy that spends time helping everyone is often lonely.That doesn't necessary have to be true but I think it applies to me. Because I spent time observing people whom I think is lonely and help them out.. Being a great friend.. throwing parties for people.. however people don't reciprocate that.. I don't get surprise parties. No one is there when I feel lonely or need someone to talk to.. Worse of all.. no one is there to talk to me when I'm down... I have been trying to be strong but ..I need someone to tell me its going to okay. I know I'm a guy and I shouldn't cry.. but sometimes its over whelming.. I can't really speak to my parents as they re asian and they themselves have been brought up to be strong emotionally. My mom's advice when I m sad is that guys shouldn't show they re emotions meaning guys shouldn't be sad.

I need help. Thanks in advance.

P.s. I m not going to kill myself .. because even killing myself have consequences. It's the worse outlet. I don't want to give up.. The guilt of having my parents raise me up just for me to kill myself is unbearable. all the people sad..

I just need to get back on my feet..someone to look at my situation and know... and possibly give me good advice..

Choosing Modules (Advice needed)

Julia_Koh — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 00:20:38 +0800

I will be starting my MEng Chemical Engineering degree soon and I am required to pick modules for year 3 and 4. Can any Chemical engineering students or chemical engineering graduates help me with this? Although I'm tempted to pick the modules I'm interested in, my main concerns are which modules would best equipped me for a job. Like which would be in demand. Hopefully someone with a working experience can help me with this one. Thanks.

Oil and Gas Utilisation
Innovation Management

Year 4 Options
Four modules from the following:

Manchester or Sheffield (Chem Eng Degree)

Julia_Koh — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:53:21 +0800

Okay, here's the thing. I just got my A levels results and I got 4 As. I got 2 offers from both and I need to decide which to go to really soon.

The reason I'm asking for opinions is because of the factors involved. I got a 50% fee waiver for Sheffield University and nothing for Manchester but Manchester has much better rankings overall compared to Sheffield which is not really great.

My concerns:

1. To what extent does the university affects employability? I mean, what if after my degree I were to pursue Masters, would they look at my Masters or my Degree compared to other candidates.

2. Expenses. Because of concern no.1 , I m really not sure if I should fork out an extra RM 200K to RM 300k for University of Manchester because if I'm able to get around the same salary should I go to Sheffield then there is really no point to pay extra.

Can someone help me?

I wrote a song

Julia_Koh — Sun, 05 Aug 2012 16:47:24 +0800

She broke up 2 months ago and since then I was waiting to make my move.. just being friends and letting her move on. She likes me cause I'm super nice, that was what she said. She doesnt want to start anything now cause we both going overseas to study soon and if we start then 4 years gonna be a long time and many things can happen. If I suddenly found another girl then she will stand to lose more. Sad cause we both so close and we share almost everything. She's my bestfriend. Only thing i can do is write this song and emo.

Help with buying a new laptop

Julia_Koh — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 14:30:54 +0800

Okay so here's the thing, going off to uni soon and need a laptop.

I got my eye on the recent Macbook pro 13' 2.5ghz with i5.

Don't know much about laptops but I'll be using it for education with gaming.

The thing is, my friend told me there are many other laptops with better specs and cheaper prices. I don't know much about laptops so I'm not sure where to start looking with all the brands and specs.

Can you guys help me out? Budget is around 3k- 4k. Thank you.

Premarital Sex

Julia_Koh — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:19:01 +0800

Is pre marital sex getting really common with western influences? I have a friend that had sex before getting married and is only 19. I always thought malaysian girls were conservative. What happened to no sex before marriages. Would guys think twice about dating girls that are not virgins? I might be being judgemental but I dont really know what goes through their mind when they do it. So many cons to it. What if an accident happen?

If you can't do proper squats

Julia_Koh — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:33:10 +0800

For those of you reading this, bash on me all you want but its for the good of the beginners and noobs.

Right, back to the topic. Like I said if you can't do a proper squat don't bother doing it unless your gym has a hack squat machine. Just think about it for a second, let's say you re squatting 200 lbs. Where is all the weight acting on if you re not doing it properly? Its acting on your freaking spinal cord. If you haven't noticed, injury to the spinal cord can cause paralysis and other physical problems when you re older. Proper squats works the stabilizing muscles and quads. Doing it wrongly will injure your spine and mess it up very badly.

If you re an advanced body builder doing squats with great form then ignore my post, but to the beginners who know nuts about body building or some guy with a history of back problems but heard about the great results coming from squats then think twice about doing it.

ITS NOT WORTH IT IF THE RISK/DANGERS FROM DOING IT OUTWEIGHTS THE BENEFIT.

Thx and bye.

A question about fasting

Julia_Koh — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:09:10 +0800

Currently Im trying to cut by fasting once a week using Eat Stop Eat by Brad Pillon. 24 hours Dinner to dinner. The thing is .. im also building muscle at the same time. Is it counter productive? Like usually i eat alot of protein and carbs after an intense workout but before my workout its like low carbs low fat and high protein meal. about 400 calories. breakfast and lunch

Sometimes I skip breakfast because from what ive read.. we are too used to eating at certain times.. and if not hungry dont force ur body to eat --> warrior diet and lean gains.

Anything wrong with my nutrition ?

Btw using my gf's account
