Thinking of Suicide

ab123 — Fri, 11 Jan 2019 18:33:47 +0800

Long story short, I'm a student living with parents. Might suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning cause it feels lesser in pain the jumping off a 20 story building.

I have enough to move out, but only for 6 months

- Parents too over their heads, will never listen to me, both mom and dad self employed.
- My dad (A bankrupt), mom controls finance for the company
- Mom and dad don't believe me when I say I thought of suicide at the age of 9
- Mom and dad nags too much over little things
- Mom and dad overspends and relies on loans to pay back
- Mom with equity of 2 houses worth 3.4 mil (combined, rough figure)
- Parents company life line on overdraft, left RM 25,000 / RM 280,000. Monthly gross sales only RM 4,000+ & Their office building worth 1.8mil (roughly)
- Want to do stuff like hobbies but they'll always nag me of the mess even though I'll clean up, so, no motivation for hobbies as well

You can ask me more for details. I can share

One sided story, I know. But almost feel like letting go, will donate my savings and stuff (smartphone, guitar, etc...) to some random person if I truly let go.

LIGHT Beer recommendation

ab123 — Sun, 06 Jan 2019 18:26:22 +0800

Hey guys, any super light beers in Malaysia? I find Budweiser light enough but anything lighter than that? Like in the U.S of A, they say Coors Light taste like 50ml beer to 300ml water.

I wanna find something like that. Any recommendations?The Budweiser I'm referring to

P.S: Tiger tastes like Shit. Hands down that Tiger is bad.

Also, not I regretted not trying Tsing Tao when I was in China, ONLY RMB 3 per can. Came back to Malaysia to find RM 12 per can, I was like "stupid shit" when I saw the price in Malaysia

Frustrated by lack of integrity

ab123 — Thu, 03 Jan 2019 09:55:08 +0800

Don't you guys think that the new government has a great problem of the lack of integrity by U-turning on decisions.

-Taking months to decide what color of shoes to wear in schools,
And
-Can't decide on petrol price, even an association (which has no power) can bully the government.

Why?

I didn't lost some of the u-turns because I agree with the u-turns, especially the need to pay back the student loan debt.

&$)(!@ y'all if you guys didn't pay back the loan, why dont you guys who owe on the student loans try the same trick with car loans or housing loans then I say you guys have balls.

No reduction in RON 95, how about RON 97

ab123 — Mon, 31 Dec 2018 20:22:23 +0800

As per my title, will RON 97 drop in price since that is the fuel that the minority pumps and has already been floating for years.

Diesel Euro 5, won't reduce as well from RM 2.28 right?

Cause, me wanna fill up RON 97, babeh!

Potato attached to this thread cause I follow 9GAG's style.[attachmentid=10149890]

P.S: No predictions from /k is disappointing, well I predict it might go down.

Help me find an old post

ab123 — Mon, 31 Dec 2018 16:00:31 +0800

To anyone that can help, y'all can remember that there was a post complaining about a speed bump in Selangor area that scratches the cars underside and caused sparks that even drivers complained to the council but the council rejected.

The story is something like that

milf amoi disappointing

ab123 — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 22:45:00 +0800

Went to a cafe to have dinner with my family, while dining, a couple came in with a baby and the lady was a hot milf the husband "Ah Beng" grade in looks.

The disappointing part,
The lady has no "posh", qualities of a lady.

Why, you might ask.
- While she was drinking soup, soup kept dripping on the table.
- Super big bites while eating.

I know, these is a part of the small subset of ladies in Malaysia and not every women in Malaysia. But still, it's like driving a BMW, Merc Benz or Mustang but the engine sounds like a 1980s diesel pickup.

End of story.

Don't troll in my thread.

Ford Fiesta Acceleration Jerk

ab123 — Fri, 21 Dec 2018 11:48:26 +0800

Hello everyone, to any of you who owns a Ford Fiesta, do you experience a slight jerking when "flooring" your accelerator pedal?
I suspect since it's a Dual Clutch transmission then the clutch has to match to a lower gear and not as smooth as CVT's.

Driving around my uncle's Ford Fiesta then that slight jerk happens when overtaking over vehicles.

P/S: Not recommended any Fiesta owners to "inch" in heavy traffic as there's still a clutch and by "inching" heat is generated. Stay safe out there.

Driving into Thailand

ab123 — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 11:12:34 +0800

Wanna have a short trip to Hat Yai, will be driving an Axia into Thailand.

First off, does any Malaysian petrol stations sell petrol with Ethanol blend?
If yes, how many percent?

Second, I know well to stay AWAY FROM Gasohol E85 as I don't think an Axia can handle.
I read the manual that it says a minimum of RON 95 but I wonder will Thai RON 91 be ok or else it will be an expensive experiment for me.

Also, is E20 ok?

I did lost of research but cannot yield results of Ethanol in Malaysian petrol and whether can an Axia handle Gasohol.

If all else fails, convert my petrol car to use wood fumes for the whole trip in Thailand like what some people in the U.K did.

Pre-Authorization Refueling Petrol

ab123 — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 23:01:12 +0800

Hi guys, anyone of you know how to set pre-authorization limits on petrol station self service pumps?

I only know you can preset your amount on Petron, also I know that Citibank does not have pre- authorization when refueling with Shell.

Same with CIMB that has no pre-authorization when refueling with Petronas.

Cause I'm refueling with a debit card and it drives me crazy (will even pull out all my hair) to wait 3 - 4 days for my hard earn money to be refunded for then to (test) my card validity.

Saman Record Stain

ab123 — Sat, 25 Aug 2018 15:28:36 +0800

Does anyone know that do traffic fine records stay with the person forever or does the record expire after a number of years? Just for knowledge sake.

Chinese translation needed

ab123 — Sat, 02 Dec 2017 23:22:08 +0800

Hi, I hope that someone can help me here as I find it very hard to digest the meaning of the terms and conditions stated here.

This is part of the terms and conditions of a prepaid SIM from China Unicom.

I am a Chinese (Malaysian) myself but I find it very difficult to digest/understand and although I did some try and error and am some what appreciating the 1GB data given to me but I feel that I have lots of prices to pay and I feel that they are sucking me bone dry.

Example of the money vampire. I already have a balance of 25 Yuan in my account for calls, I did a 0.2 Yuan top up to test and they separate the 0.2 Yuan from the call balance. Half and hour later 0.08 Yuan was deducted and the reason states local call usage fee.

Needed translation.

Tinder Story telling time

ab123 — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 22:24:15 +0800

So I'm new to tinder and I thought I give it a shot. Started swiping to a lot of girls but out of so many only one match, we chatted a bit but not detail info about each other. Then the girl initiated to have a meet up, the initiation started at 7pm then she said she wanted to meet up at 7:30pm, then hell I was in a rush since she wanted the meetup within half an hour plus rush hour traffic. Rush there thinking dang I'm going to be late but behold she said she had some personal issues that need to be settled, messages after messages of me asking are you coming and she saying on the way.

Meetup then we went to a bar, she loves drinking red wine, no beer at all also I didn't listen properly to the waiter saying that the cheap wine was finished, but I let her order. We chatted a little bit but she won't reveal where she is from and also she's glued to her phone then the wine came with snacks but then since the bar is closing then the waiter brought the bill for us, handed me the bill and I asked her: "So, you wanna split the bill in half?" She was a bit furious then replied: "I thought you're treating me to this?". At first, I was a bit shocked of the bill and almost proceeded to pay but since I love cashless and the Almighty saved me by having the waiter said, :"Erm... Sir, since it's raining, our card terminal has connection problems. For now we can only accept cash Sir." When back to the table with the bill then the waiter followed me, but I say we will pay in a while, back to her. Then I asked again, :" So...... split bill?". Then she asked:" How much money did you bring?" I said only 50 bucks, then she ask me to withdraw from an ATM since I suggested that.

But I froze for a while, then she gave up and said :" Just go home, I'll have my relatives come and pay." , I still froze for a while then her eyes enlarged, :" Why aren't you leaving?". I took her word literally and bolted straight back home praising the Almighty all the way. I reached home then I messaged her, :" I only want to apologise to you, I won't say much as the more I say the more I may be wrong."

End. Fin.

Wanna tell me if she is a gold digger, I try not to judge people. Feel free to leave questions or comments.
Also, Troll away as what I don't like I can remove from this thread.

UPDATE: Bill total was RM 679. Also, I'm looking for friends only, not a hookup. Her status also says she wants to look for friends only.

As usual in Lowyat forum, high view count but low comments.

come in, Hong Leong Bank

ab123 — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 23:06:55 +0800

Hi guys, I've received a text by them saying "RM 0.00 HLB Debit Card: You are required to change to the new Pin & Pay Card by 31 March 2016, please visit the nearest branch to avoid usage disruption at ATM & purchases."

Any of you had the same thing? Just take some free time to change it since it's free and bring along your passbook as well. Outdated system that still requires passbook.

Lowyat Community Quite Toxic

ab123 — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 18:33:01 +0800

I was hoping this community would provide helpful knowledge like general knowledge about laws, fashion, music or etc. But it turns out people like to view your topic but wouldn't help. But amoi threads, bersih or najib threads number 1? Why? Help each other out, or else this community should be named something like BersihPoliticsNajib. Again, just help.

Any engineers working for Maxis, DiGi or Celcom?

ab123 — Sun, 31 May 2015 18:35:26 +0800

I hope that there are replies to this post, I really want to know whether HD Voice services are enabled in Malaysia? Regardless of networks, as I have found out that news articles reported that Celcom has enabled HD Voice since 2012 and Maxis has a Very Very small note in twitter saying that they have enabled HD Voice in certain areas of Malaysia.

Don't know what HD Voice is? Refer to the YouTube links below

One Time Pin

Why don't we need a one time pin when purchasing Music, etc from Apple and Games from Steam.

NFC Payments

ab123 — Thu, 19 Feb 2015 20:37:03 +0800

Hi guys, I thought of starting this discussion about mobile payments via NFC, because I wanna hear what people think of it and who accepts or rejects the idea.

I fully support the idea of mobile payments though, I'm in love with Apple Pay, it's so convenient without exposing your private data, plus Apple Pay does not require an internet connection "just to be clear on that" because the iPhone generates a secure token itself.
