A new artificial intelligence-based weather model can deliver 15-day forecasts with unrivaled accuracy and speed, a Google lab said, with potentially life-saving applications as climate change ramps up.
In a time where over-consumption is on the rise, a growing number of Malaysians are embracing a lifestyle where they voluntarily trade down their items for something similar but less expensive.
In 2023, Qishin sold his old Myvi when he realised that most of his spending went into car ownership and the responsibilities – petrol costs, road tax and license – that came with it."The tipping point was spending RM3,800 for the car's maintenance," he recalls.This approach encouraged the 35-year-old to use public transport to travel around the city as remote employment grew more common after the Covid-19 pandemic.
In addition to using public transport, he also chooses to bring his own food from home rather than dining out at eateries near his workplace. "Meal prep is my preference as it allows me to control what goes into my body... I also don't have to spend so much on nutritional foods now."Rachel Weber expresses a similar opinion when it comes to eating home cooked meals at work. To conserve money, the 34-year-old began meal planning and bringing leftovers to her workplace and this allowed her to be more intentional with her spending habits.
"I still remember watching my mother track every expense she made into her notebook," he recalls.Now, Lim 's thrifty fashion sense is a result of inheriting his parents' spending habits."My mother always hunted for a good bargain whenever she goes shopping and that stuck with me as I grew older.
Cyrus says meal prepping helps him eat healthy foods that sustain his energy during working hours. — CYRUS CLEO GEORGEAfter years of trading down, Weber views money and material belongings differently than she did before. "Ultimately, this practice has allowed me to break free from societal pressures and focus on building a life filled with quality, not vanity," she says.
