i loved the live bus tracking feature on Google Maps, but in the past months it's no longer been showing them so I more or less have to wait blindly.

Today I downloaded the moovit app and found out that it's charging people for the live tracking, so my guess is that moovit are the owners of the live bus data and decided to privatize it for their own app. Makes sense if they wanna make a profit, but a huge bummer since the data should have been provided by the govt in the first place.

Not sure if it's in all stations. Can't tell how it's performing either because it's a bit windy today.

Edit: Oh for some reason the initial post did not include the image. Thank you to the 8 ppl who upvoted without any image in this post lmao

Yikes, Good Vibes Fest got cancelled. I really hope this doesn't leave a lasting impact on Malaysian nightlife.

Time to make another one that's private with less traceability. Even the email you use to make the new one should not be tied to any accounts. Don't link phone number so IG won't use contact list to add you.

After this, pay attention to when you or your friends talk about IG. You don't want friends to mention "that funny story you put up last week" and have your mom hear it only to wonder why she didn't see it.

Spark club last night was absolutely packed. I've never seen club dancefloors in KL packed before midnight, and last night the dance floor was already crowded at 11+!

My dumb ass went thinking I was going to have some space to vibe on the dance floor lmao

Heard the Nijigen Expo artist alleys didn't do very well?

I was fairly busy on Saturday so I couldn't attend. I did consider going on Sunday but when I saw the admission price, I just noped. I can understand the pricing, looking at the guests they brought in. But as someone who's only interested in artist alleys, it's too pricey!

CAFKL remains my favorite artist alley event.

Eve Suite is even closer - right next to the LRT. Super convenient.

The easiest way to avoid guilt is to put the leftovers in the fridge, wait 2 weeks, then throw it away. The guilt is spread out across 2 weeks. It's like paying installments!

The wall of text:

I think you should continue to eat whatever you want like your parents say, but not however much you want. You're reducing your carb intake which is a good step! It's much better than completely cutting out carbs because your mind and body are gonna stress out over sudden diet changes.

A very difficult habit you could try to learn is to eat until you're satisfied, and not until you're full. If you'd like to start, it will help if you focus purely on eating when you're having your meals. That means no phones, no work, no TV - anything that causes you to mindlessly put food into your mouth because it makes you lose track of your fullness. You can kinda still do the above, but when you're performing the action of putting food in your mouth and chewing your food make sure to focus purely on those actions and yourself.

Also learn to be okay with not emptying your plate. It's a habit a lot of us learn as kids, but we should stop thinking about the kids in Africa because it's not our fault they're not getting food. And if you're worried about the farmers who painstakingly grew our rice, they have more machines that help them these days anyway.

With regards to snacking, obviously you should minimize it, but don't completely avoid it. Some tips are:

  • Snack with a purpose. E.g. you're nearing your period and you are craving. Snacking because bored should be avoided.
  • Drink a bit of plain water first. If you still want to snack after 10 mins, then go ahead.
  • Put effort into your snacking. Turn snacking into an action that takes effort. Rather than reaching for a bag of chips, put some in a bowl, slice up a bit of cucumbers to have alongside it. Rather than just having some chocolate, slice up a fruit to have alongside it.
  • Remember that it's still a snack and not a full meal though, so small amounts is enough.
  • Focus still applies when snacking - avoid distractions while performing the action of putting food in your mouth.

omg i was typing a long ass comment but accidentally cancelled and now it's gone. Here I go retyping it.

The commenters here are right, but so are your parents.

Exercise regulates your hormones and keeps your hunger in check. But after exercising, you're gonna be hungrier than usual. Just make sure you're eating what you normally do. Drinking more plain water might help prevent overeating.

You're a woman so you have hormones that make you crave certain types of food. Give in to those cravings, but keep it in moderation - you want to satisfy your craving, not eat a whole meal of them. E.g. if you're craving chocolate, grab one or two small cubes and eat them slowly. If you're craving fried chicken, have a couple of wings or a drumstick but not too much more. If you suppress it, you're gonna stress yourself out which messes up your metabolism or your productivity.

I have a wall of text typed up which I'll put in a following comment, but you can ignore it because lots of people give diet/exercise advice but you should avoid information overload. Work on yourself little by little and don't feel obliged to apply every advice in your life right away. You can always come back and re-read later.
