Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
Thank god... I've finally passed my kidney stone of a project. It's not totally done but all of the hard bits are done. Just writing things up and sending it out now.
Literally lost 3-4kg in stress and missed meals / sleep. But I think we have something that might be worth it. Having a very career defining kind of year.
What'd I miss??
made caramel sauce syrup
mix in with coffee (intended use) ❌
eat out of the jar with a spoon ✔
edit: this jar is about 1 cup of sugar and i've eaten half and can't stop this is a mistake
Caramel is the best. Salted caramel? Even better.
I need this 🤤
Is it hard to make
scaled down...
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
50gm salted butter (cold)
1/2 cup milk
Start in a cold saucepan (small obvly) mix the sugar and water. Constantly stirring at high heat until all the sugar is dissolved, then medium heat until the very bubbly mixture (keep stirring) turns light brown. turn to low heat, add the butter and keep stirring until fully incorporated. Add milk slowly, stirring constantly. if the mixture have thick spots just keep stirring until consistent.
You can reduce the milk amount by half to get a thicker sauce or use evaporated milk for a stronger milk taste. this is runny (because i want to stir it into coffee.)
Seems easy enough, i'll try it one day™
Thanks!
Caramel sea salt cookie?
With that said, I'm not a fan of caramel.

Used to think it's cringey when people post about their partner, now that I have one, i've become that cringey person. I want everyone to know how lovely my partner is. How smart, kind, thoughtful and loving he is. Everyday I wonder what the hell did i do to land this guy? Just the sweetest guy ever and he deserves all the love in the world. And i just wanna shower him with so much love and happiness. If you're reading this I love u so much, don't cry at work 😘
I can't believe my favourite fountain pen shop (in SS2) is more on the ball than our journos and news portal. They now have a fedi account: @[email protected]
Hahahahahhaha imagine being in a job that's supposed to be on the pulse of society and you're slower than a shop selling a pretty old-fashioned tool.
I mean, they still pretty much operate like they're in the 2010s
Got a graduation event next month. Unlike previous batches, we have to pay for the clothes (shirt, tie, slacks) ourselves because there's no allocation. Have to buy it from a distributor for uniformity.
Yang elaun ciput ni jugak dia nak perah, celaka betol.
Uni graduation was the worst graduation for me. Had to pay a shit ton and the experience was meh. I was even planning to skip mine entirely because ceremonies like these are meaningless to me(just a personal thing) but my peers asked me to join.
my left eye got swollen the day before. it shows up on all my grad pics 😭😭
🥹oh no
Business idea : buy then rent to juniors.
For bonus markah, can buy used ones off your batch mates (preferably different sizes) then rent them out
They change it every year how 🙈
They do change it every year lol
Bruh I think they just wanna make money 🥲
It's merc, that's to be expected 😂
yep, everything so far sounds like they frizzed you all up. literally no reputable uni would pull this kind of shit.
Woah woah woah, you're finally becoming a proper merc tech, congratz!
Thanks, excited and also freaking out.

When I did Physics as SPM student many years ago I remember learning that it’s physically impossible…
Now that I think about it - how many years of research needed for this tech to end up on our cellphone… hmm… should be good for EVs etc too.
It's Wednesday, how you guys week so far?
Planning to hike this sunday but seeing the weather the past few days...it's gonna be muddy.
Barely hanging on but trying to survive whops Yeah, the weather lately is pretty bad...
Aww...saturday can't come soon enough
At least tomorrow is a free wfh day and I'm not the one who needs to wake at 6 this time 😤
Nice! Sleep earlier tonight to gain the full benefits 🙈
Anyone used DHL's courier service before? Is there anything specific I need to prepare if I want to ship something to a friend other than the address, the stuff and the payment?
Crap, i forgot my work belt which mean i don't have all the belt equipment with me. Days gonna be sucks urgh.
The joy when something works... and the instant dejection when something else doesn't work
Going clubbing in your 30's is pretty mehhhhhh...
Went to Spark in TREC (old Zouk) last weekend and the scene is so different from the time I went first time around 10 years ago.
Clubs now are full of gimmicky stunt to promote their alcohol, overcrowded, and people are busy in their phones when not dancing.
Gone were the times when us males can go 'cari makan' in the crowd, score x score it's ok. But the thrill of hoping to catch attention from the opposite sex is fun enough.
I'm 30+ too but only started clubbing around 2019 and maybe it's my lack of experience of how things used to be, but I think it's pretty fun still for the music! Having said that, I think you might be able to find the experience you're looking for elsewhere because Spark's dancefloor is so packed that there's hardly any space for interaction. Especially once Blink gets on the deck - you can forget about moving laterally anymore.
Pitt Club might be good in terms of space though!
What pixelfed instance should i be in? I noticed i share a lot of pic and got a lot more random one as well, might as well find a place to share it.
Also sos says Sync for Lemmy beta is very very close, just waiting for Google review.
Well by source i mean the dev himself lol.
Hahaha and here I am who've just decided to go back to my Flickr (they promised to federate tho) because I like the metapixl.com the best but the alt-text function macam broken (it says max limit is 2000 char but it actually cuts off at 150). Otherwise they have the best combo of features and storage tho.
Nice nice, i don't mind not having long tax displayed, i just wanna share some stupid stuff haha
Thanks!
Aiiiigght enjoy!
Had mamak western food yesterday laosai twice since 3am already.
Most probably it’s the ice
Damn, got any meds? I find myself avoid mamak at all cost these day due to hygiene issue.
No med, laosai twice already. Stopped it seems but very parched lol.
Go pharmacy, get two things: ORS (oral rehydration solution) and charcoal tabs. Since u no longer laosai, keep the tabs for next time you're feeling gassy/about to get into food poisoning. ORS because it does sound u dah dehydrated sangat. (Just water not sufficient. It's a combo of salts etc. If ur curious can look up the story of the indian doctor who saved so many kids from cholera)
