how to avoid being alone all day:
> put your phone down
> close your laptop too (yes)
> work from coffee shops some days. pick a consistent coffee shop so you can start to see familiar faces
> eat out (even if you're alone) rather than ordering takeout - the feeling of ambient connection around you feels good
> say hi to your barista, mailman, grocery store clerks - build the feeling of ambient connection in your life
> be intentional about building your IRL social life
> find local events & communities and see what resonates - don't commit to just one
> take yourself out on walks & smile at strangers when you're out
> walk around the neighborhood & call old friends
> start a random hobby just for fun - pottery, dance, improv, cooking. anything that makes your soul come alive
> create recurring meetups/gatherings so you have a sense of structure throughout your week (weekly volleyball, dinners, yoga, etc)
> give it TIME - it takes time to find your rhythm
building community requires the same intentionality we give to (early) dating
BUT it's worth every ounce of effort
you got this!!!
Stephen Kalong Ningkan, the first Chief Minister of Sarawak, was ousted in 1966 primarily due to political machinations and disagreements with both local and federal political figures. Here are some key reasons for his ouster:

No, it's not AI. Artist Agnes Denes grew a field of wheat in Battery Park, beneath the World Trade Center, in 1982.
It's such a powerful juxtaposition and one of my favorite art installations of all time.
@bin_salle39329 I mean tbf ISA were in place until Najib , many also voted against BN when DAP in Sarawak were strong and "fight" Taib back in the day. Until Adenan rise to power he did speak up to Semenanjung BN tho, even they were still Sarawak BN.
@LatheefaKoya Blame everyone else except self reflecting, green wave, blue wave, blame small parties for "vote splitting" it's always others fault. As if they can criticise the other side but when the result came out all is blame.
@rafiziramli Ooo jadi ada otonomi bagi state lvel ya utk urusan negeri ? To add, I'm not a fan of all the dynamics within political parties sbb sgt bureaucratic, sy sorg genz yg sgt apathetic terhdp all the politicking dlm negara, semua nampak sama, I hope to see more progress from bersama 😁
@MeeRebus11 But outside of the circle of downtown it’s all the typical boxy buildings.. I think since kuching is a developing city, should not waste the potential, Sabah have their nature assets as the strength, I think Sarawak has the potential to build a city that’s… beautiful.
@MeeRebus11 as a sarawakian I would imagine we have more buildings to have more blend of the native designs and western styles.. or even a more version of the Chinese old shophouses with more ornate.. there is a reason why most ppl in Kuching including me won’t be tired chilling at old town
