Happy July! Sad to hear most 3rd party apps are already down. But, i had a lot of fun last two days? Well, even prior to that. Had my person over to meet the family and the cats. My anxious cat who's always anxious and scared of strangers warmed up to him and let my person pet his back. So cute 🥺🥺
Huhu, already meet parent dy
Going to be a stressful and depressing day. Wish me luck.
💪stay strong
Uhh? Good luck bb! Hugsss
Good luck!
good luck!!
Just found out that my dobi guy is from kelantan. He's a chinese so of course i asked him about all those burning questions.
From what i understood, chinese mostly mingle together and have their own community, where everything haram is available there (when the state allowed it).
Yes many chinese supported pas. Didnt ask why. Yet.
Yes the water sucks. The teh tarik free flow is true and not exxagerated.
Apparently most tauke in kelantan are chinese. He deacribed the situation like indonesia, where majority of wealth is hold by local chinese.
Apparently non kelantanese cannot have permanent land deed there. Cn only rent about 60+ years.
Apparently kelantanese cinese damn rich. Authority doesnt check their wealth. They keep lots of cash and use it to avoid tax. Even went as far as using cash only to buy and build houses. Not sure how that works because we will get targeted immediately if we add those properties under our name but that's what he said.
Would kepochi more but customer came.
hmm, sounds to me they just benefits from PAS, not in the development way but easier to line their pocket, or maybe they just like slower pace.
Few days ago, I watched this video on YouTube of people secretly learning their enthic language to suprise their parents. They would find tutors online. I'm thinking to myself. These people are lucky that their enthicity is common enough that there is a tutor online
I don't have that privilege. when I Google my enthic language. It's a fkin Wikipedia page and other pages of that nature. An archival piece
Not that I don't try. The few times I try with my parents. My mom is pretty receptive of it. My dad on the other hand...he made fun of me when I did it. I think he sees it like how a mexican guy speaks in perfect mexican but when it comes to certain words, they'll say it in perfect American accent. A Mishmash of perfect mexican with perfect American. That's how I sound like to him maybe. I hope that analogy make sense. Anyway, yeah that made me not wanting to learn it more and more.
Maybe it's like pandas, just let it die. Not worth saving just because they look cool. Too much hassle not enough utility.
Yeah, it's an ass move for making fun other's attempt at learning something, especially when they're still kids. I got made fun of from my cousin for speaking kinda terrible cantonese and english when i was a kid, that sour the deal so much i just quit learning both, all that just so i can communicate with him.
Sympathies from the loghat negeri failure mode gang. Pretty much why I stopped bothering to speak proper kelantanese.
gg apollo
Masing2 yang aku jumpa ni rupa2nya ada helah. Berpura2 baik sebab "nak tarik" aku "ke pangkal jalan" kononnya, pada masa yang sama dalam hati diorang benci aku sangat2. Dasar hati busuk perasan ahli syurga.
Wishing everyone a good July ahead!
It's july already 😩
Serabut. Aku serabut. Mak aku punya putar belit cerita sampai bergaduh adik beradik laki bini ipai duai. Bapak aku pulak degil taknak pergi jumpa kaunselor. Kononnya semua masalah boleh selesai dengan sembahyang. Habih tu kalau dah selesai kenapa bapak aku masih cari aku untuk mengadu? Huh??
Goodbye rif... It was a good ten years using you.
Urgh, Connect is so bad, keep saying instance is under maintenance even though i can access it in web 😒
Lemmy instances can't fully show off Kbin-based communities (aka magazines) they've federated with, so just giving a shout to the Microblog section of MagASEAN (which you can subscribe from here though !magASEAN@kbin.social) since the recent posts are full of makan posts: https://kbin.social/m/magASEAN/microblog
Registering didn’t seem to be hard as I thought.
Hello everybody.
Hello!
Welcome!
Bless me
Yo is this a new flavour. Never seen this one before.
I have to say. I love the mamee chef series. The seasonings and garnishes . It feels complete rather than just what Maggie do just throw in a mee and some powder
I have no idea, just saw it in the grocery store and grab it
Ehh this one quite nice.
I was expecting the worst but not bad overall just abit salty
created this account on the 11th cake day of my reddit account lol
welcome dude!
There's no church, no confessional booth here (sounds like a great community idea lmao, any
kepochigreat listener please make it happen). Feeling suffocated keeping it all to myself, so I thought I'd just express it here.I've been lying to myself that I care about growing the Mandarin community; I'm not, not an ounce of interest. Sure I may be the most Chinese Chinese here, but I'm the least Malaysian Chinese Chinese here; Not a representative of a typical Malaysian Chinese at all.
Prior to this, can't recall exactly; the last time I typed in Mandarin probably about 3 yrs ago during my last relationship. This means that Mandarin is currently useless to me. As a utilitarian, I don't care about cultural identity. In fact, finding it off-putting when people become overly ethnocentric. While some people consider language as a medium of culture; to me, it's simply a tool to build something actually meaningful.
I love art — drawing, music, skits, light poems. Having a Mandarin community gives me an additional outlet to express my artistic side. Also, as someone who struggles to make friends, it increases the odds of finding like-minded ones tho I doubt that 🥲. But all these combine, they don't serve as strong motivators.
So why did I do it anyway? Well, too long to mention and too lazy write and no one gives a fuck. The point is, I realize how foolish and immature this all seems and have veered off track. What's intriguing is that I typically don't exert myself into things I dislike, but this time... well, that's precisely why I call a halt in less than a week.
It's totally okay to feel that way — I'm also Chinese, but my main language is English. I'm not exactly a true Chinese either as my livestyle and beliefs differ a lot because I'm much more westernized and I'm an atheist. You are welcomed to open a new community for one or more of your interest stacks!
Huhu you're an admin. Lemmy pretend you're the father and confess a little bit more: I was a bit annoyed by the potential hogging behavior and you guys wouldn't allow conflicted communities. So I thought maybe creating another Mandarin community could create a "window of opportunity" to address the problem. An immature move I know. Should've addressed it directly, but it might just glossed over and I was afraid of the power distance.
The second thing is: though I'm totally aware of my bad interpersonal, perphaps my alter ego denies it, so I thought that having a "better" Mandarin-speaking community could compensate the lack thereof. Sure cultural differences play a significant factor but it's something I have to work on.
I came from smjk c and nowadays none of my ex classmates type in Chinese anymore lol. Sure we still speak mandarin when f2f with each other out of habit, but our work environments & in many cases our spouses are mostly English, so English kinda naturally replaced Chinese for many of us. We also speak English with fellow Chinese-educated colleagues at the work place.
The people whom you describe are not the type of users who frequent here. Hard to create a community where the people you might share commonality with don't know you exist .
I think you're trying to find a place to call home in a completely wrong country (so to speak). The apps/websites that the mandarin community uses are completely different with almost no overlapped from the ones majority of the user here use.

Not blaming you if you don't know the full context but I said I don't give a damn about cultural identity BS and no interest in managing the typical Mandarin community, let alone the imaginary Mandarin community I wish it exists.

Fyi, it just that I'm not growing up in a mainstream community, it doesn't mean I'm not Malaysian. And I've been trying to fit in for quite a while now.
Btw thanks for making me realize that my homeland isn't actually here. Very liberal of you. 🙂
is there anyone here who isn't/wasn't a regular reddit or fediverse user?
over the years, I have probably registered accounts on reddit to ask some questions (not on r/my as far as I remember), but never stayed for more than a month.
as for the fediverse, I remember registering a mastodon account during its early years to see what it was all about, but that too didn't last a month.
Hahahaha this is my first time lepak in a Malaysian subreddit and previously also never been on Reddit much. OTOH been on Fedi since Nov 22 daily hahahhahaha (it helps I'm not on actual mastodon and I've never been on a mega big instance)
nice, that means you most likely did not find this site from it being mentioned on reddit, so let me guess…was it through kbin?
at least, that's how I found it. due to the reddit protest saga giving an opportunity for more open platforms to be in the spotlight, I started looking for interesting communities on https://browse.feddit.de, but this site was not listed there yet.
I think I started hearing lemmy being mentioned around 2 years ago though I've never bothered to get (and keep) an account on it (like what happened to me with reddit and mastodon).
then as the reddit protests went on, I started hearing about kbin being another open source reddit alternative, and thought I'd try searching there, and I so happened to do that within a day or two of this site being created.
I posted on Reddit once in a while & stalk quite a few subreddits but wasn’t a “regular” user. I’ve been pretty active on Mastodon since the twitter-to-fediverse exodus though (before that I was mostly a lurker on Twitter). The fediverse has been a lot more fun than mainstream social media for me because of the smaller & more tight-knit communities.
yeah, I guess the fediverse/threadiverse is attractive for people like us who have some reservations about mainstream social media.
now that twitter and reddit have caused a mass exodus of users from their platforms, I wonder if (and secretly hope) whatsapp (perhaps discord too?) could be next (it's becoming a pattern, haha, I try to avoid those 2 as well), so more users can move to other alternative open platforms.
Would you stick around this time?
I don't see why not 🙂
Opened up Apollo by habit. Sigh. RIP
Good morning
morning!
Morning! Whatcha plan today?
At my grandma's house
