Corgi Lumpur – Things my public relations agent tells me not to talk about

Every single date in 2021 so far and how they went: Part 1 of 4

Thanks to getting my self-confidence hammered in by my abusive parents and school bullies, then living in Germany for way too many years, I’ve only recently started learning my way around how to date like a normal person at a ripe age of nearly 30. I’ve been posting my findings in hopes of helping others like me by lifting the veil off the many realities behind dating that are politically incorrect and socially unacceptable to talk about. Here’s what I observed going on dates literally every single week since the new year started.

Dating and the high demand for sociopaths

Sociopaths are described as people who behave in a manipulative way without regard for how their behavior affects people around them. I’ve decided I’d like to be a sociopath while on my little dating adventure. Or at least put on the same sociopathic mask that so many people in society seem to be wearing today. Why? Because sociopaths aren’t just rewarded in today’s dating world, they’re in ridiculous demand!

New decade, new life and planning a new timeline

Two years ago, I wrote about the importance of having a rough plan in life as early as possible, even at an age some cultures might consider ‘weird’ (thinking about life in your 30’s and beyond as a 20-something year old). That article has aged well, so it’s time for an update and some further thoughts on how life has been and how I see it going.

Asian guy dating in America/Europe: On giving up and moving back to Asia

This is a sequel to the post I wrote nearly two years ago on results of first-hand data on dating discrimination as an Asian guy. Today we’re going to go over more upsetting truths about dating as an Asian guy in the western hemisphere, and why that’s ultimately driven me to move back. And moving back was something that’s never even crossed my mind until recent times.

The miserable life living in Germany that you need to know about

Never in my life had I imagined I’d live in Europe. But in trying to escape living with my abusive hoarder dad, and being told all my life that Malaysia is a hell hole that I needed to escape from in general, and being tired of the US immigration system’s difficulty, I found myself living in Germany for a good amount of time. Since the early 2010’s, it has actually been incredibly easy to enter Germany, either as a student or worker, and attain German permanent residence shortly after. As I later would discover, there’s good reason why Germany doesn’t have skilled immigrants lining up at its door…

Review: Migration options for Malaysians to other countries (Part 1: North America)

Research on moving abroad has been something my family and I have done, even way before I went over to the US over a decade ago. Being at the point in life where I have “one more move” remaining and hope to settle in wherever that may be for a long time. For many Malaysians (and Singaporeans), there’s a lot of information and misinformation on migration and moving abroad, thanks to the gossip culture and unwillingness to fact-check and verify before spreading the word. I’m putting my thoughts into words here so hopefully this will help anyone looking for info based on my first-hand experience.

My experience reporting my abusive dad to the police in Malaysia

2 years ago, my dad beat me up and tried to strangle me as an adult over a petty argument over my neighbor’s guest. In the process, he also punched my sister, who was trying to break up the fight. After 25 years of him being physically and mentally abusive to my siblings, my mom and grandma and I (basically everyone living in the same house), I decided I had enough of this garbage and went to make a police report. This is how it went.

Top 10 list of how my father physically and mentally abused me

I’m experimenting with “top X lists” as a prelude/index to the stories I’d like to cover. With a massive list of interconnected topics I plan to write about, I’ve been working here and there on different stories, but extensive cross-referencing makes it hard deciding which piece to finish first because I feel they all have to be published at once for you, the reader to get the full picture. Let’s start with how my dad abused me as a kid well into my 20’s.

I don’t find the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown boring, in fact I’m loving it

Back in the 1940’s, people had to go out and risk death during World War 2 to defend their society and they did it. In the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, most people just have to stay at home and relax to help the situation, yet far too many of them can’t seem to do it. Barely a month in and there’s lots of complaining that the lockdown is boring; that they can’t wait to ‘get this over with’ and ‘be done with lockdown’ in the next 2-4 weeks. I’ve locked myself down at home for over a month now and am far from being bored – here’s how I’m enjoying it.

Corona parties throughout Europe

I think I’m going to start a new series called The Real Europe. Inspired by the vast amounts of white worship and “first-world worship” by Malaysians towards various western countries (trivia: Germany is about as third-world as Malaysia as you’ll discover through this series), the goal here is to stamp out the vast amount of misinformation and propaganda/shilling that goes on throughout the internet on how great Europe is, and what’s really fundamentally wrong. The “real” side of Europe, so to speak. Let’s start off with the latest trend in Europe – Corona parties.
