I can't afford a posh place facing KLCC but at least I get to see it every day at work

They aren’t too difficult to make from glass jars! The most important thing is to give them enough light without heating them up (bright location without direct sunlight or better still, under a bright lamp) and also choose plants that are suitable.

My country is making protests everywhere against corruption. Pro-Duterte rioters are causing havoc. Let's hope that this doesn't turn out like Nepal.

第一次晚上經過這裡，原來 Brickfields 這幾間印度廟這麼美。但我在車上用我的破手機只能拍出這樣。

在 Bluesky 活躍的目前好像還不多，至少我沒見到多少個～ Threads 在大馬倒是感覺上已經超越 X 很久了，只是因為太主流了所以就越來越烏煙瘴氣 🤣

不過換個角度想，其實一開始 Threads 會在馬來圈子流行，感覺上也是因為許多中間派和保守派發現 Threads 比較少聊政治，換而言之就是沒有人會討論馬來特權之類的，結果當然最後那些當初一直叫人家不要聊政治的，發現那種 saya bukan rasis tapi… 的文字在 Threads 很吃香，最後聊政治聊到最爽的就是他們。

Threads 大馬圈子越來越煩人了，來來去去是 saya bukan rasis tapi kenapa… 或其他關於身分認同的糾紛。只是如果要說服那邊的網友搬過來讓這裡熱鬧一點的話，他們大概會一頭霧水，說每天看人家吵架不爽嗎。

有一個歐洲人問我這裡的平均薪資多少，我說了一個大概的月薪數目之後，他問：per week？
我好想把車停在路邊，先哭一下。

Those are so beautiful! South Africa has so many beautiful sundews including the well-known Cape sundew. We do have some pretty types in Malaysia as well - my fav is always Drosera burmannii because of how cute they are.

We desperately need new movie franchises. Hint. Hint.

With all due respect to Gareth, this is bullshit.

If Prehistoric Planet and DeadSound’s Dinosauria and Sauria shorts are any indication, people still love dinosaurs. We just need new, younger talent to tell newer, more creative stories about them.
