So someone recently recommended me to watch re:zero because it is different than any other isekai. The main character is transported to different world and only can loop time after experiencing death.
The writing is really good, and it's closer to psychological thriller + dark fantasy...
I went to the Dutch embassy today and submitted my MVV visa. It was simpler than I expected. I could pick up my visa next week since I already got approval from the immigration department. So different compared to Malta!
I guess one problem is over. Hunting flats in NL is my next headache.
One...
Fortunately I got my approval from IND this week, all I have to do now is applying MVV visa at the Dutch embassy. Should be smooth.
However hunting affordable housing in the Netherlands/Amsterdam/satellite cities is really hard. I think I will hire a housing agent to find me a property.
I decided to remove about 300 games from my steam library. Most of them were bundle games that I bought as far as 8 years ago. Ironically, I haven't played like 95% of them in the past decade. I finally press the nuke button, and now I left with 84 games that I like. I am going to be careful of...
Last week I finally signed the offer, and I have submitted the necessary documents to process my HSM visa. from what I read, I expect to get a result within 10 days, and then I can collect my visa at the local dutch embassy.
I also just made a contact with the relocation agency. I am glad I...
Can you believe it? I got the formal offer letter today. I accepted it without any second thoughts. I am moving to the Netherlands next year.
Finally the job hunting is over. After 2800 job applications, I cracked the EU job market as a non EU citizen, thrice.
after applying jobs, almost 3000 times, I think I could breathe a sigh of relief: I am finalizing a job offer for a role in Amsterdam. I have always preferred to relocate to the netherlands due to its historical relationship with Indonesia, also, I have cousins there, so I wouldn't be feel to...
I haven't read any of Dune book, maybe I should. I find the movie breathtakingly beautiful. It reminds me of the visuals from The Fall (2006), except it's used in a high fantasy scifi context. Also, maybe because the plot is so condensed, there are a lot of terms that I don't know why they keep...
the salary is so low. Like 46K euro/year. That's quite ridiculous given that I have 5 years experience in analytics. My peers told me my market rate is around 55-60K euro/year. But given that the company is a startup, maybe they just want someone senior with an entry level salary. Well the...
Well in the past two weeks I think I applied about 250 analytics jobs on linkedin. So to recap, I got the following interviews:
- two interviews from companies in the Netherlands (my ultimate goal is this country anyway - since my extended family members are there)
- one company in Malta (the...
well I had expected this happened sooner, but finally my future manager replied (and apologized) that it came into this. Unfortunately my situation has become complicated to the point that it will take 6 months for me to start working after I got the offer. So after I got the skilled worker...
I swear this is the longest two months in my life. If you followed my blog a bit, you probably read that I got a job offer in Malta as a skilled worker, I got a work permit, but not the visa because my country is classified as Dark Red country. My employer's HR doesn't seem able to navigate this...
I thought this year will end with a victory. I got a job offer to work in Malta with a salary twice the locals and basically will have the expats life that I have been wanting all my life. After I got my work permit approval issued last month in 3 days, everything was nothing but a disaster:
1...
I thought there would be no other games could top Alien Isolation. Well, until I played resident evil 2 remake. The game's atmosphere is terrifying. The lighting, the sound design, the music, the zombies, the music, EVERYTHING is terrifying. I bought a DLC to unlock all the bonus (infinity...
so a few days ago my future employer sent me an email, my work permit approved (as expected). now here comes the nastiest part: applying a visa to visit Malta (my passport doesn't have free visa access for schengen zone).
In normal times, it seems third country nationals only need to come with...
today I logged in to Malta's Singlepermit website as an expat told me her work permit was approved in 3 days. I submitted my work permit last thursday, and yes, I have been restless ever since even I don't have the reason to do so. My salary, as stated on the contract will be twice than the...
So let's see, in personal circle, 3 people already got a tech job in europe. I got a job in Malta, my friend got a job in Germany, and she just told me her friend got a job in Estonia. I used to be interested in applying jobs in Estonia, but canceled my mind after I just knew there's no Estonian...
best news ever in my life. Today, I just a formal job offer from this igaming company. The HR already asked me to send my legal documents so they could send the contract details, and managing the work permit (I am an EU third national).
My goodness. I will move to Malta.
This is the happiest...
This morning, I had a dream, meeting with my grandmother who passed away, 16 years ago. I posted before I am finalizing a job offer to Malta you see, so it's kinda occupying my thought at the moment. So I met my grandmother in a house where I grew up, and I told her, "oma, if I move to Malta, I...
how surreal. Like very. surreal.
I have been applying jobs in Europe since november. My biggest chance was for this company based in munich, but I blew it because I was getting nervous during the live SQL part. However, my case study analysis was also pretty bad and showed that I don't really...

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -
@
The Real Jdbye:
the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

Veho:
There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
-
@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

@
Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Psionic Roshambo:
Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
