You have RM150k to start an online ONLY business

Ashraf Farid — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 00:17:45 +0800

Rules:

1. Ideally, don't spend the whole 150k in one go - it can be used for rolling capital

2. You can leverage ANY unfair advantage you have

3. You need to have at least ONE clear target audience (middle aged Chinese dudes etc)

4. What would be your NUMBA ONE platform to market, and why?

If you wanna be helpful to others, an initial cost breakdown would be swell

Seeking a vocalist and drummer to perform

Ashraf Farid — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 20:44:16 +0800

Salam guys, haven't been on here in years, hope it's not just dupes now

For some backstory, I posted a while ago looking for bandmates: https://www.reddit.com/r/malaysia/comments/...r_klpacs_short/

It was to record and submit an entry into KLPAC's Short + Sweet song competition.

Didn't get anyone, so I got my friends to help me with drums and vocals, while I did bass.

Here is the song: https://www.bandlab.com/post/40902bc1-121f-...d2-6045bd2cd6bc

I submitted it and it has been accepted by S+S, so now really need to find band members haha.

Please comment if you're interested and I'll DM you the details. There' s a prize of RM5K for top spot I think.

Dad going on world trip, wanna buy him a watch

Ashraf Farid — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 20:20:06 +0800

So my dad is getting old and he recently got really sick. He's much better now and wants to travel the world solo. He may never come back to Malaysia, and I may never see him again.

I'd like to get him a watch to remember me by.

Budget: 50k

What would you get?

I'm not getting him a Rolex cause it would make him a huge target for robbery, and honestly he's not watch guy so he won't know I had to blow the AD to get him a Daytona.

I was thinking of a GMT function so he can always know what time it is in Malaysia.

Some options I had in mind:

Longines Spirit Zulu Time

Tudor BB GMT G&S

JLC Reverso Duoface Small - not gmt but he can set one side to Malaysia

Omega Aqua Terra GMT

Any other suggestions for a good looking GMT?

Trying to help them think of useful content.

I noticed that there's no truly simplified glossary of terms for non tech founders online. They still tend to be complex or just mix random stuff.

To those with exp developing apps, what are some terms non technical founders should familiarise themselves with to make it easier to talk to an agency?

Upper Vs lower body

Ashraf Farid — Fri, 13 May 2022 14:27:21 +0800

You have the lower body and you have no upper body, you got a problem building...wait a minute. You have the upper body, and you have no legs, you got a problem building your legs. You have the upper...you have the lower body and you don't have the upper body, the upper body, it is easier to build. So if you have the lower body and you don't have the upper body, it is easier to build the upper body. You have the upper body and you don't have the legs, you got a problem building the lower body... No, you don't understand. You have the upper body, but you don't have the lower body, you got a problem building downstairs. You got the up- legs on the bottom, it is easier to build on the top, so you don't have much as a problem. Yeah.

Moving big TV

Ashraf Farid — Tue, 03 May 2022 20:00:10 +0800

Helping dad move house, he's got this massive TV mounted on the wall.

Still got the box

Edited to add info

65"

Now too dark to take proper pic of wall mounting
