pandan auntie, parking uncle, now nano sim uncle

tiffa — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 18:28:22 +0800

no stock is very usual thing, happens in every first world countries too, when some super hot promo from AT&T, Verizon in US, people facing no stock issue for certain simcard size as well.

can be supply chain problem, can be bad management of procurement

why need the innocent shop floor staffs to lose their job? then they become snatch thieves better?

on the Broken English. We can tolerate people that cannot speak English and only speak their local languages in Japan, Korea, China, France etc, but we cannot speak Malay (eventho we can) to local folks. If that kid has a chance to improve his English you think he wouldn't have done so?

Everyone is working hard trying to earn a living out there, don't be such an arse when you don't get your nano sim.

How long in a r/s until tying the knots?

tiffa — Mon, 23 Mar 2015 23:12:36 +0800

we only together less than a year, almost going to make it to the anniversary of we first met, a few weeks later of we first dated, and a few months later when we became in a relationship... And about four months ago we moved in together.

he wants to get married. I know and I understand Love>ALL, when I asked my parents and my friends around me they just say, u love him then say Yes la.........

but just want to do a simple survey, for those married or plan to, how long u all pat toh,

and for those not yet also can say what is your ideal timeline.... ---> although what u say can be very different with what u will actually feel and do. I once think that I am impulsive, spontaneous and adventurous that I will marry a guy I just met hours ago and we fly to Vegas and get marry there... Now I know... Erm... Not quite!

Guys that like K-drama and Taiwan Idol Drama

tiffa — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 18:30:57 +0800

Just found out my bf's uni years... are watching K-drama like Autumn in My Heart, Winter Sonata,

and those S.H.E., F4 Meteor Garden/(rain?) starred Taiwanese dramas... - which I cannot stand and almost-hate. I have never finished watching any K-drama or T-Idol-drama , always sit in for 10 minutes and cannot stand the long-poetry-dialog and gave up.

burnt them into Dvds and print out CD labels sticker and stick on it somemore... he got like 3 books (3-tier pocket type) of those dvds at the storeroom at his parents house

but of course he said he has no time ever since graduate, work, travel and pat toh took out most of the time

and he ended up with a woman like me, who actually had a Battlenet account, played WoW, Starcraft in uni years, although I did stop now as I realized I am not very good at all at WoW but Starcraft I like, but all the Starcarft kaki no longer playing. He said he did try but got bored of it and back to watching drama.

he's not gay definitely, and that explained why he has mostly female friends.

Is there many guys like that? I first thought there maybe none, unless gay or ... very very "feminine"

but he's also not "feminine" thought he must be a geek and games freak back in uni, but the way he able to name all S.H.E. members, FinKL and those korean girl bands... shocking

anyway he is the first guy I ever met and ended up in a relationship with, that actually like K-drama and Taiwanese Idol Drama...

Would like to know if u r a guy like this... or if you know any, and how is their style when they r in a relationship... if they so support K-drama, does that mean they try to be like the main actors (a perfect man that do not exist in the reality , even there is , its either gay or married )

Party or Event that will make you feel 'awkward'

tiffa — Mon, 18 Aug 2014 17:54:37 +0800

I am with my bf for more than 6 months now, a bit just 'see how' at the beginning of the first 2-3 months

Now can say it's somewhat 'steady' and 'stabilized'. I have met his parents and stayed at his house, already familiarize and his parents also treat me like their own daughter, very care of my well being and health, also since my parents are so far away from me I guess, then they also asked me to do his part of the duty if he's too busy at work (call them to say if we r going over for dinner or not, help him to decide his new home furniture etc...)

I have met one of his close friend for several years, and did double date with that couple, and then we hang out with our mutual friends, mostly with that friend that introduced us, and tat group of friends. Those mutual friends of me and him also somewhat new friends of him over 1 year plus.

He has friends for like the close friends, a whole bunch of them, for many years, since uni, since just coming out from uni to work... and when these friends throw party, I am always not being asked to come along as 'plus one', I wonder if they know my existence, but he has nothing to hide about me I guess, unless, one day when its his turn to throw a housewarming, he wanted me out! (well, am sure he won't unless he's asking for a break up! lol)

Is it that he has lot of things in the past he doesn't want me to know? Is it because those friends know too much and hung out too much with him and his ex(es), so he thinks I will feel sad and jealous if they ever talked about it? Or his ex was at those party?

When I asked if I can come along he said he's not close with these friends and it'd be awkward, but he will introduce me like in small outing, double date or just one/two friends of him like what he did.

How do I convey in a "nice way" and tell him that he had to be fair, if next time he questions me who I go out with, how man guys/girls, where, do what, how I know these friends, and can he come along, and why not etc?

The problem is I did once, compare like this and he got mad and said I should have say I mind him go to party without me, and he would then not go and chose to stay with me, it is me that said its ok then only he went. But I do not want him to Not Go at all! I just think if he needed some space like that, then allow me to have mine too, but he took it as "revenge" from me???

I think we should sort it out like we slowly introduce and involve each other into out life more and more, but what he resorted to mean to cut off with everyone that we feel 'awkward' with, stop seeing them and only see friends that we comfortable with? but hell this doesn't make sense. which is what happen when I told him to remove his pictures with his ex on facebook, and then he ended unfriend her too. poor girl i really don't mean to! am ok they r still friends, i just feel weird if he has picture of him and me selfie romantically while in other album he did this with other girl, i feel its not right if he is in a serious relationship with me and WAS in one serious one with her as well, its not like he's some casanova that showing off, hence tell him to untag and delete etc...

ways to comfort bf...

tiffa — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:11:34 +0800

so sad and heartache to see him stressed and tired

while I can do nothing to help his problem at all

work busy and with some external stress problems that affect his performance at work , worsen the work backlogs ... problem keep snow balling

wanting to bring him or cook him a nice meal and a nice evening also very hard since work till 11pm still in office... later when reach home, asked him to give a safety/comfort/goodnight call... hear him so stressed and tired and still problems not solved, hence next day got to start early and so on

thinking that maybe our 5-1/2 days holiday last week may had worsen the situation and regretted for planning that, though he's the one suggested and we planned early ... didn't know got unforeseen stuff happen and causing so much stress...

i just want to know, should i just leave him alone so that he could concentrate on his problems first , some ppl just need "space" or being alone to do serious stuff?

or should i sort of "be there for him" which i not sure how, i find that he can't really work when am with him

i know many of u gonna say sex / massage...

he knows am a geeky girl who likes Marvel & DC so he promised to watch x-men with me this week... maybe should not remind him or ask him... sigh... i kinda think the best thing is to leave him alone but i miss him so much feels horrible , just want to be beside him

Birthday gift for boyfriend is really hard

tiffa — Tue, 20 May 2014 19:15:32 +0800

clothes - very boring and men always have enough clothes to wear already and not needed more

perfume - yea... but when finished then throw away bottle not much memories

gadgets - expensive and will run out of time/tech spec

watch - good ones r expensive

romantic and "priceless" thing - fold origami x999 etc in a bottle (doesn't reall "works" for boys)

any memorable and yet not too-expensive gift idea for a less than 1 year bf?

I can't think of anything at the moment except buying him a nice sweater from Hugo Boss or A|X

Overcome shyness to "announce" relationship

tiffa — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 01:08:28 +0800

I don't know this shy worms keep crawling at me whenever his friends and my friends are presence that I would immediately shook off his hands (who r holding me) and then we r like... HEYYYYYY Friend...

another thing is, I always feel, these friends always jinx friends who coupled up in the gang

many couple announced, then very fast will break up, and then very hard to go out in the same group again, feel awkward

a couple that got married, did not announce they r in a relationship, until given the wedding invitation card

i know i know, its all superstitious... or is it kinda pressure that caused it

How to "develop" a relationship?

tiffa — Tue, 25 Mar 2014 00:41:31 +0800

first, we met at a friend's birthday party.

then, we met again on a gathering , a dinner , after some activities , swimming & skating

i went swimming ones , he went skating ones - i dunno how to skate and am pretty bad

he asked me out for 1-to-1 movie, dinner

didn't say its a date , just went

he insisted on paying and won't let me, i usually offer to go dutch with guys went out with me

then we went out again... for movie and dinner, this time i said must AA or my turn , cannot everytime he paid

so he agreed.

then we go out again and again... and he persuaded me putting on a skate and he will hold and teach me, and so i did

none of these, has been categorized as "date"

by the way , how do i know right? lol

then... yesterday was the longest day we spent together... from brunch to night

at first he offered to hold my hand and put in his pockets due to my hands very cold, i was too optimistic and worn a dress and cardigan at 5 deg C!

i dunno why somehow, hold hands become hug together, waiting in the line on a food truck

then become holding each other tight sitting at park

then become in cinema, was holding hands half way into the movie and finished

then hold all the way, suppose he had to get down from the station before reaching mine, but he offered to stay on , ride with me and say good bye at my station

was giving kisses on the cheek each time we said good bye but last night was long french kiss , he insisted and i didnt reject (aha..lol) but was super embarrassed tho because people all watching when passing by

then how now?

how do this transition into bf-gf like, official or started or being defined?

this is feeling so good, i want to keep the spark but how

i now have very mix feelings and from last night "good night" whatsapp till now, not heard from him yet

Vacation/weekend trips with opposite sex friend

tiffa — Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:28:12 +0800

have you traveled, just the two of you, not couple, to vacation/holidays/weekend breaks?

how is it?

When u are on Vacation and lost your phone,

tiffa — Tue, 31 Dec 2013 01:01:41 +0800

Vacation not in US/UK/Hong Kong/Korea/Taiwan such that no doubt, can just shop for a new phone that is ori and almost same price if get AP set in malaysia

U r in , Vietnam/India/Cambodia/China (a bit inconvenient, and not familiar and may buy complete fake stuff)

so I think mostly everyone will cancel the line and get the phone when u got back home?

and who would you contact?

- family, so that they don't suspect u r dead when not able to reach u

- gf/bf? so that they know u r not dead and at the same time not ignoring or want to break up or cheong until forget to check whatsapp

he said something that hurted me... I want to get

tiffa — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 07:12:47 +0800

but I cannot stop thinking about him...
was busy and not seeing each other for a whole week

since after the last "incident" https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3049890&hl=
then, I text him saying that let's get together sometime, I'll cook, softshell crab and seafood feast

so he called up, and 1st thing he said is "wei... why so long didn't find me"

we had a sweet chat and I look forward to the romantic weekend
so I cooked, and he came,brought some japanese cakes for dessert

but the whole "mood" is just so low, so down and I don't know why suddenly the conversation
he said something that hurt me, whether he is joking or really mean it, the way he said it I really can't tell

but it is so very hurtful, I really hate it.
the whole evening just so wrong, I called him when he got home, asked him why like that, he said "like what" and then said nothing wrong he just tired

because of kayaking and walked so much whole day today...
this relationship and this guy had really make me so tired, most of the time, although we have some happy time, but... most of the time

its so energy sucking and tiring
instead of staying in this state and hoping for moving to the the next step...
I want to get over, or at least make myself not contacting or even when he contacts, don't see him for a moment

but it's so freaking hard I have not stop thinking of him since yesterday dinner, I don't know how...
breaking up before it's even started, its harder than i thought
wanting to switch back to friendzone but couldn't

option 1: get over it, don't contact if contacted , tell him i'm busy so not see him for a while till am ok to be back as friend --- super damn hard , trying now
option 2: nothing happen, he's just joking like he always was, one day said something the other day something, keep going on same as before --- hard, but ignorance is bliss, easiest option but may ended up hurt more in future, or things turn out good, its a bet, also good in overcome loneliness
option 3: see him next time, talk it over and said what would hurt me and asked him is he really mean it or just kidding --- did this once, he said he was kidding, but then when he said similar thing in different manner again, so if he wants to keep me happy he can just said he is just kidding, just saying, then later, he said it again like he really mean it... endless loop, i really don't know how to differentiate when is true or false with this man.
option 4: anymore option? move on and to the next guy? have to get done with option 1 1st

and p.s. please do not ask me the content of the speech that hurt me , its kinda p&c.

it's affecting my work, this is the last thing i want from a relationship.

what would u do if u found out your date is dating

tiffa — Sun, 01 Dec 2013 03:54:31 +0800

like i said it's like you went out for a few dates with this girl , u r not that sure yet and it's not official
u have not inform your parents or introduce her, or known among friends

then she has no reserve and no secret but honestly let u know she is going on a date with someone

say...
when you and your guy friend on a saturday afternoon, you just went for kayaking, then on the way back...
bumped into her so co-incidentally at a subway station, then u guys r like ... hey, going out?
then the girl, your date, just casually with no reservation saying, "yea am going to ... sort of .. like a date *smile*"

is that acceptable?

Is it some men are not that "physical"? hold hands

tiffa — Tue, 26 Nov 2013 01:18:33 +0800

again, from "how do you know a guy likes you"

till at this point... its very confusing and just when you guys are complaining women are hard to read, you guys are the same, what the hell are you thinking and behaving this way...
and we do not want to ask you direct because...

we scared that you are not ready then we asked you such aggressive questions may drive you away,
which we do not want it because you meant a lot to us and we want to keep you, and give you as much time as you want if you are not ready

well... I'm not sure if anyone encounter this, that, dated for few months, then when going out, he just won't hold my hands and walk
sometime, he walked so fast at front and I have to "chase" him.
then when walking side by side, it's natural to hold hands or...sometime, put your arms around your girl's waist or anything?

the only time we get physical is when we relaxing at the sofa of cafe such as starbucks...
we sit close and hug, and hold hands. or when in the cinema... or when watching TV at home.

I just think if am the one that initiate all the time to hold hands or grab his arms, I will be like so aggressive and I don't like that... argh... and, am shy, that explain why I find a safe place to rant, forum!

when I confessed him like, well, we were like "nothing" just now, when we walking, shopping and having meals together
then why suddenly 'you seemed so into me' (when we having starbucks/watch movie in cinema),
then he said 'just happened naturally what'
so when walking on the street or when taking the subway why he won't "naturally" hold me...? geez...

guys??? seriously , you guys are so confusing so very confusing, sometime hot sometime cold.

how to know if a guy likes you

tiffa — Fri, 10 May 2013 21:04:04 +0800

as per title...

or they just really genuinely want to have coffee and meals and movies together...

very scared misunderstand people's intention

become too 'perasan' thinking a guy likes you because he ask u out

then end up a situation like 'er.. its just a dinner.. what...'

buying laptop/ultrabook - think I'm getting Asus

tiffa — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:21:24 +0800

I shortlisted to Asus, I wanted a Zenbook at 1st but then after tons of consideration... its too small the screen 13.3" almost like a netbook or ...?, I had bad experience using MS Excel do homework on my netbook.

& It's really worth the wait now that they have VivoBook with touch screen and a perfect size am looking for 14"

Anyone got some 1st hand information, as I can wait till latest by mid-January 2013... If something will be upgraded or new model, more options?

or should no need to wait not much different just go buy now?

please help me... thanks...
