Insurance panel workshop

cwk0713 — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 16:09:52 +0800

Hi sifus,

I was in a car accident on 27th Oct, got rear ended by Hilux, and causes me to rear ended the car in front. The Hilux guy said we can claim his insurance since it's his company car. Then he call his friend to arrange to tow my car to his friend workshop, his friend will settle all the necessary document with the police (sergeant keputusan etc), I just have to pass them a copy of my police report and necessary documents.

On 1st November, my car was transferred to another workshop under the same company, due to his friend workshop is not AIA panel workshop. Adjuster visited the workshop on 10th Nov. Foreman told me the repair would takes 3-4 weeks. Since then, I tried to check for updates through whatsapp, no response. So I visited the workshop weekly to chase for update/progress. Visited 3-4 time since, was given different reasons for the delay. I checked with my agent, he said the workshop missed out some documents not submitted. My last visit on 27th Nov, they told me still waiting for documents from his boss. My car has been sitting there for a month now, with no progress whatsoever. In the meantime, I have to borrow car from my parents for work, which they kept nagging me about the inconveniences.

For the inconveniences I caused to my parents daily routine, their nagging, and stress from my work recently, I'm feeling really exhausted and burnout....
I have been patience for their none response and dilly dally. But I started feeling impatient as time goes by, I decided to file a formal complaint to AIA yesterday, now waiting for AIA response. I have checked with my trusted workshop, they can settle my car in 2-3 weeks time, but they are not panel though. So I wanna ask, except the insurance company, any other relevant authorities I can file complaint to?

Graduation flower bouquet to a crush...

cwk0713 — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 16:53:20 +0800

She's having her convocation on 17 August on Kampar, but I couldn't be there myself, so I decided to send her a graduation bouquet...
And I found some articles online, if you want to deliver the flower, it's best to deliver to her one day before the convocation instead of on the day of the convocation.
I'm not so sure myself. So I need some opinions on this. FYI, the bouquet is prepared by my friend's girlfriend.

And these are the choices for the delivery:
1. Deliver to her myself on 16 August to her houses.

2. Ask my friend to deliver to her on 16 August to her house. (We carpool to go there, but my friend will do the delivery, and she doesn't know the delivery guy is my friend.)

3. My friend's girlfriend said she MAYBE will go to Kampar herself, so MAYBE she can deliver to her on convocation day. MAYBE only. (But I'm not sure if it will troublesome for her, cause she will be quite busy on that day, and maybe others will also gift her flowers, so she has to carry around maybe more than one bouquet.)

Kitchen knife

I'm looking for a mid range quality kitchen knife below RM 100, and between 15cm to 20cm blade length. Which one is the better one between these 3 knives?
Mostly use for slicing, chopping or dicing, just for daily kitchen task.

Pixel 2 XL or wait for Pixel 4?

cwk0713 — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 11:26:56 +0800

I'm currently using Vibe X3, my battery is acting weird lately and the phone is so lag (poor RAM management), I'm not gonna fork out more money for Lenovo!! thinking about getting a new phone with dual front speakers...

Wait for Pixel 4 or get a Pixel 2 XL (currently cheapest brand new under RM 2k)? I'm hesitate between this 2 options... All the online "rumors" or pattern "leaks" got me excited about the Pixel 4, but last year Google prove us wrong with their "notch city" design... I really hope this year HTC can do a better better job at designing the Pixel 4...

I've been using my X3 for 3 years now, if I fork out 2k for Pixel 2 XL now, I'm not gonna upgrade for Pixel 4. Or I can use this X3 until October and upgrade to Pixel 4 (as long as there is a notch-less version and below RM 4K).

How many years Google support their devices in term of software upgrade or fix?

How to ask a girl out to a concert?

cwk0713 — Sun, 20 Jan 2019 01:19:14 +0800

Okay this is what I'm trying to figure out... Trolls stay out please!!!

Here's the thing, my department only got 3 persons, my friend (also my boss), the girl and me. My friend specifically told me to not talk about the girl when his girlfriend is around, like when we go out yumcha or gathering. And in the office, my friend and the girl always chit-chatting, whispering, almost like flirting around, they go to lunch together, sometimes after work they're having dinner together too (the girl knew he has a girlfriend). In the eyes of others, if you didn't know any better, it just feels like they're a couple, even colleagues from another department also felt that. (It's possible she actually have a crush on my friend, maybe that's why she doesn't care about any of it.)
[I need girls opinion on this]

I can't compete, this I know for sure... But I just couldn't stop thinking about it (btw I have depression and OCD). In the office, all the flirting and whispering, it just doesn't make me feel good at all!!!! Maybe it's jealousy, angry or rage, or maybe it's my depression and OCD stirring the pot, I feel like shit!!! Last last Wednesday when I finally cannot handle it anymore, I shutdown totally in the office. Put my earphone on, take a walk around the office trying to hold my tears, I just don't want to let her see this side of mine when I'm acting out (if she even really cares).

Last Tuesday when my colleague (another department) and I on queue tried to buy Ed Sheeran concert tickets online, my colleague will go with his girlfriend, and since 1 person can only purchase 4 tickets (we plan to go together instead of split seats), I don't know if I want to go alone...

So I ask the girl in my office to see if she's interested, she didn't give a definite answer, but I can see that on her face that she might be interested (I'm not sure, maybe I'm wrong, I don't know!!!). After seeing her face when I asked her about the concert, in that moment, I felt the certainty that I'm gonna buy an extra ticket for her. So, I bought 2 tickets. About the girl, till today, I only known her for about 2 months, she's part time in the office. And just recently (28 December 2018 to be exact), I think I have a crush on her.

I told her that I bought the extra ticket just in case if my siblings wanna go before it sold out, if my siblings don't wanna go I just resell it. But deep down, the extra ticket I bought is actually for her, it was never really about my siblings or resell purpose. Now I just need to find a way to ask her out to the concert without scaring her or creeping her out, and in the process without breaking the trust between me and my friend; the girl and my friend; and me and the girl as well...
[I need girls opinion on this as well]

This semester is her last semester here in college, so she might be going back to her hometown after the semester end and I may not see her again. I wasn't hoping any miracle that she would fall for me, Ed Sheeran is good, but even him can't make someone suddenly fall for me... I'm just hoping to spend a few quality hours with her together. Even if she really say yes to the concert, and I go and pick her up, it might feel awkward since I'm not a talkative person. (See, my OCD and depression brain just kept giving me negative feedback and thoughts even though I'm really trying to be positive here.)

Updates:
This story didn't end with a happy ending, and thanks for everyone for all the advises and everything.
Hope everyone have a better ending in their love life.

The concert is over half year now...
Recent update was, the girl graduated and left the office on May, now working on her job, she also ended whatever that is going on with my boss/friends.
I still keep in touch with her on whatsapp most of the times, and in person couple of times...
2 days ago, she rejected me officially. She wasn't high maintenance or anything like that, she's a good person with a good heart. It was me that, knowing there wasn't gonna be a happy ending, still decide to act upon it.
This past two days when I wake up, everything just feel empty in me, like lost the sense of life!!!
