No 4
This photo was taken at my 4th floor office lift lobby. I think I took this shot to explain to @justinparke regarding 4 associate to death in Chinese. Most if not all Chinese dialects pronounce 死(the word death written in Chinese character) the same as 四(4 written in Chinese character). I'm not just saying this, this shit even hit Bloomberg.
Here's the second part of the story. 4 is also good for the Malay. Because 4 in Malay written as Empat, it also rhyme with Dapat(received, or get it). But ofcourse, ti's a big argument in the local community when the superstitious Chinese would spent hundreds of thousands just get a good number for them, whilst the other number with 4, is less competitive because there's absolutely no Chinese like that number.
There's a lot more going on with the story of 4 in this multi-racial and multi-cultural country. 4 can be "A" if you read the above picture of that BMW. 4 can also be read as a person sitting there crossing their legs, like they're already rich enough got nothing better to do. There's a lot more good thing about 4 than we choose to superstitiously to avoid that.
Other than showing you how crazily Malaysian obsesses with numbers, I would also like to report to you my diet program has a good progress for that 1 day. I was busy at the office, I did not entertain even 1 client. There's so many calls and I don't even wanna go out with my other colleague. By tht time I looked at my watch, I was way passed lunch hour. So I head to the cafeteria and quickly grab something to eat. A huge portion of vegetable and a slice of curry fish. I know those rice cracker is not going to do any good for my diet, but I just need to have it so the rice wont feel so dull.
Dinner was a cup fo protein shale, and a slice of air fried salmon prepared by home minister. It's seldom happen to be like this, and I believe that day I can easily lose weight like 2lb. Well, wait for it, I got a crazy day with at least 20 photographs to share in a single day, and trust me those are food related.
I also heard about this just recently, about #4. In our compound a lot of things "bad things" happen always associated in building 4 or 14. It is new to me because I always though 13 is badluck number. 😊
Well, it's more of a cultural superstitious. Chinese likes 13 because 10 nouns with "confirmed", 3 nouns with "live". And therefore, 13 is a confirmed live 🤣
I get the 13th being bad luck was due to he Friday the thirteen 🤣 but I get the general idea because Philippines is heavily affected by the United States. So I assume I can buy cheap 13th floor apartment in Philippines 🤣
Oh wow! -"And therefore, 13 is a confirmed live"
Not sure about the prices tho, but so far I have never seen 13th floor on any buildings I have been. 😅 They always skip it, you'll see 12th then 14th. 😆

That's an interesting bit about the number 4. I can see the crossed legs for sure and will never look at this number the same again :D
The diet looks like a major improvement bro. It looks very similar to the type of Americanized Chinese food we have here. I tend to like the less Americanized dishes better. The Americans love to go for those Chinese fried chicken wings though, they can hardly keep them stocked in the buffet. Meanwhile, I get to visit the empty sushi bar and pick all kinds of fine delicacies without being bum rushed for peoples insatiable appetite for fried goodness.
It's been a while since visiting one, in fact I have not eaten at a buffet since before the plandemic, but have ordered some Chinese food from some places during the pandemic. The local place I go to doesn't know how to make any of the food spicy so I have to add my own red pepper 😂
Oh that's Indian food at my office cafeteria. I'm not exactly wanting to go healthy, but it seems like lose weight somehow associated with healthy.
As for the cross legged 4, it's a total mind fuck thing in my dictionary 😂 and once registered, can never un-read
