I planning on hitting the gym for the first time but im scared i dont know how to use the machines. I been doing home workout for 2 year but i have literally 0 knowledge about smith machines. Any advice?

Update: I just went to gym, the google map said its open but its actually closed, but lucky me the gym guy let me in since i didn't know it was closed so there is only the owner's friends inside and not open for customer, they taught me few things about machines and other basic stuff. Overall Its a good experience

I posted on facebook groups no replies, airbnb very expensive, how do I find a place that is affordable and not very far from klcc? 1.1k-1.6k myr budget. I will be staying for whole month of july.

Please if you dont have any advice just dont comment.

Hello, okay so lemme explain this.

I am a 33 year old nerdy looking dude and I suck at making travel plans. I am also an expat living in Malaysia for 10 years.

I don't have a car so I commute around using public transport or grab.

I have no problems in commuting. My main problem is I get anxiety when someone forces me to make the plans. I feel so blur because I am overthinking or I get nervous, it's just if I have never been to a new place, I find it difficult to make plans since idk what that place looks like. Yeah you can Google and all, but it still doesn't give me confidence.

I can make plans when I have already been to a place. But new places makes me nervous/anxious.

This doesn't mean I still haven't travelled around, I have been to the islands, Langkawi and other hot spots. But it's mostly with friends, they are good at planning and they usually have a car.

Is it bad that as a grown man I just fail at this? Is it possible to find a small group to travel around? Where do I start? What should I do? :(

I am just really lost on this and wondering, what are other people's views.

I was recently given ASEAN-Maybank Scholarship and will be required to serve a three year bond with Maybank upon graduation. I'm currently studying mechanical engineering in Singapore so I'm seeking for advices from engineers working in the banking industry.
How did u apply what u learn in engineering in banking?
How is the career progression for an engineer in banking?
What departments am I expecting to be put into for a person of my background?
Are there any regrets or something u wish u would have done differently?

I bought an apartment in KL back in 2012 in the Setiawangsa area. I am now looking to sell. I am trying to understand what price to expect realistically for a three bed two bus flat in Setiawangsa in the Seri Maya condominium.
As somebody who doesn't live in KL or is from Malaysia, I'm looking for guidance on how best to sell and also how much to market it for.
Thank you so much in advance.

I think i have been quiet fired?

I am a Malaysian software programmer in a fintech company. I have worked here for more than 8 years, I am over 40 years old. I recently had 2 cardiac episodes within 12 months and had been hospitalised for a few weeks.

But ever since returning to work, I have been given no work for the past 12 months. As a result, during performance review, I didn't get an increment or any performance related bonuses.

I suspect they are not giving me any work because they are hoping to force me to leave on my own. But I have taken this downtime to upskill.

I am posting this because I feel like this period of peace may soon be coming to an end. What should I do when it does? Don't get me wrong, I wish I was given work but it seems like no groups have any work they want to assign me even though they keep hiring new graduates for programming positions.

Please let me know this is the is the wrong group to post in.

So we (family of 4) are moving from Australia to KL in December. I’m weighing up whether it’s worth shipping all of our stuff in a shipping container or if I’m better off selling everything here and buying everything new in KL.
However, I don’t know how much everything will cost and I’m finding it difficult to find Malaysian furniture websites.

So, what are the affordable furniture stores over there?

Also, in Australia we have JB Hi Fi that sells all of your electronics in one place. What is the Malaysian equivalent? I’m particularly looking at TVs and movies, and kitchen appliances.

I’m Thai and received a customer service offer in Kuala Lumpur:
Basic salary: RM4,200
Fixed allowances: RM650
VPP: RM125, paid quarterly
Stated total: RM4,975
RM15,000 bond if I leave within the first year

I currently earn THB37,000 not including OT in Thailand and would need to relocate.

I may also initially have 30% non-resident tax deducted, which would significantly reduce my take-home salary.

Is this package enough to live comfortably in KL if I rent a room? Is the RM15,000 bond normal for foreign employees, and would you consider this offer worth relocating for?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
