I actually like XO 😊Underrated!

#MakanApaToday? Durian! I mistakenly thought dad didn't have enough so I bought some more and now we have a "durian runtuh" situation 🤣

My family likes to eat durian with rice soaked in santan (coconut milk). I have failed my Peranakan heritage by hating the idea of rice + santan, insists my mum.

It's OK, I am a purist - I prefer my durian untouched by anything but my hands 🤭

I pinned my post but for some reason can't unpin it 🤷‍♀️

Yeah I tried clicking on the three dot menu but I don't see the unpin optkon Weird

Any help appreciated!

Most CDramas lose my interest after the 20th episode, but not this one! Blood Of Youth was tightly plotted, the characters so interesting. Although the "magic" martial arts took some getting used to, this was a classic #Wuxia tale. So you have the themes of brotherhood, loyalty, chivalry and honor that the genre is known for. Now I have a hangover because it ended "too soon" and I don't think I can watch anything this good in a long while. 😭 I hear that Mysterious Lotus Casebook could have the same bromantic feels, so that may be my target next ;)

It would be a hit series on Netflix

I mean, they still pretty much operate like they're in the 2010s

It's at hachyderm.io/@liztai

Well. I can see the appeal? 🤭What did she do la to get highlighted by #TwitterJaya

My sympathies 🤣

Too much work. We are supposed to read their minds mah 😂

Someone just passive-aggressively reminded me I could block people on Mastodon, and if I can't adhere to CW requests perhaps I should get off Mastodon. Wow, I've only beeon on the Internet since 1999, Twitter since 2008 and Mastodon last November. I don't know how to block ah? Wah.

these Mastodon HOA people are one kind.

PS: A few days ago, I blew my top when someone told me to CW my food photos. Since food is the way us Malaysians talk to each other on Mastodon, I feel it's really too much they ask me to CW. Since then a few people explained that food can be triggering to people with eating disorders. But then other people say CW can also worsen eating disorders. Apalah you cannot win. Why don't they leave us alone lol. I think i'll just limit my posts to #MakanApaToday and #FediTiam and exclude #Food cos I dah fed up with the HOA* people. This is sad cos I use #Food so we can reach non-Malaysians, but it attracts the hornets. Maybe I use #expatasia instead (someone asked me to include the hashtag so the expats can find these posts)

All of this nonsense makes me glad that we have a "safe" space here on monyet.cc, where we can be completely Malaysian without some reply dude/dudette come and lecture you for melanggar some cultural rule you are not even aware of. I feel more relaxed here. A bit sad. I now understand why Black Twitter never felt comfortable enough in the Fediverse.

*Home Owners Association - people on Mastodon who patrol it to make sure everyone behave and follow rules. Like prefects, but worse.

Don't tell PAS 😂

But honestly, I am surprised 🤔

Haha dang. I am not great with git yet, still learning. But maybe we can sort of keep an ever expanding list that people can add to. What platform is good for that?

Sounds like a good idea!

I am all for that haha. I remember we used to have a blog directory of Malaysian blogs. I wish we had that again. Can we build something like that?

I did see some there. Worth a look!

Hard also cos I don't know what you like :) but they have all types of non fiction, tho not many of them popular titles

Too many to mention 😂 A huge variety. I got a number of memoirs.

If you are a Daniel Silva and James Rollins fans you will be happy. Lots of their books there. Historical Romance novels too

Moar photos

IMHO the selection is great. I bought a big bag (mostly for friends - jadi personal shopper lol) and it only came up to RM100.

I will take photos 👌

Salai beef Thai style bruschetta and chicken croquettes. 😋

Subang people. Got very excited when otters were also spotted at Subang Lake. I went there a few times but did not see them but I wonder where they are hiding!

👀 "You must behave exactly like I demand so that my life will be easier"

Btw op you didn't mention where in Pj you will be working. You may want to get one nearer to work for eg.

That's a good placr too if you like studios.

Hahaha I have a relative like that. Share every single detail of her pregnancy. Down to the gory details. Then when have kid share 60+ photos of kid every day. I dont where they got energy

I don't understand why they can't just use the filter function 😅 so hardworking to nag people about this when a filter and block is all you need to do.

Content warning. Basically put the content behind an expander block, so you have to expand it to read it. People put CW on all kinds of things including photos with eyes 😅

They keep coming. 😂 I don't even follow them. Some do, and I mute them.i even advice them to unfollow and block me. I suspect the only way they can find our post is to literally follow our hashtag - that's a special kind of crazy. If you find it so offensive blockla, why harass people on the hashtag??

So, somebody lectured me for not putting a CW on Mastodon when I shared food photos for #MakanApaToday yesterday. I got super annoyed and was snarky. The guilt tripping didn't stop as a number of people came and said, "can't you be more understanding?" You know what, I am over being understanding when Mastodon has powerful filter and blocking capabilities. I do that for Us politics which I found so annoying on Mastodon 🤣 I don't go lecturing people to put up CW for their posts. Also, I feel that this is a little hashtag space where we SEA have fun, and to have these people tell us to hide it just got me furious. I did start thinking, "Maybe I should stop posting on Mastodon and post here instead..." and that got me annoyed too. Why should I stop just because 1 or 2 people didn't like the images of food??

Just this morning someone slipped into the comments to passively aggressive suggest that maybe my mention of calories in the post was triggering - and I got fed up. I told her we shouldn't be told to hide something the SEA community loves, especially if it is harmless to most people.

Seriously never in my life did I think about food being something we should hide 🤪 folks have explained it to me why, including photos with eyes being triggering, and I thought - this is one thing I dislike about Mastodon. There's a reaallllly entitled community that demands you do things their way or they guilt you into thinking you are baaaad.

What do you guys think? I really like the #MakanApaToday thread and don't think it should be CWed cos hinestly, it is harmless and fun!!

Try not to get the lower floor units though, especially the one fzcing the playground. Noisy af 😅

With that budget can easily get a place near LRT. Can recommend eTiara at Subang Jaya. It is next to LRT and Aeon big, and walking distance to Subang Parade and Empire, and is thus super convenient.

No it is a China production.

I love that one! In fact I like all the k-zombie flicks. Loved #Alive

I'll go first! I rarely rewatch shows, so these are my rewatchables:

1. Another Oh Hae Young
2. Flower of Evil
3. Three Miles of Peach Blossoms (ok this is a Cdrama, cheating a bit)
4. Save the last dance for me (my mum and I rewatched this until the DVD koyak)
