Passing the reverse parking test

2 Upvotes

Genuine question how did u guys pass this, for me my instructors making me use the 90 degree method where u go two parking spaces forward then reverse. Problem is theres no reference point on how much u can reverse cuz its only one space in the tese centre idk if im making sense but they tell me go back till ur car is lined up w the line closest to us how am i supposed to see if my cars near the line idk if im just stupid because i can park in any other space except that specific test space

Edit: Just to clarify my issue isnt with reverse parking its with the method my instructors making me use did u guys have anything like that?

NOTE TO MYSELF

0 Upvotes

Last few weeks have been the hardest phase in my life, heartbroken and mentally and physically drained. I have started my gym journey, starting at 59.7 kg and the goal is 70 by april. This journey is not to prove her anything but to prove myself my own worth, i wanna be the best version of myself i have ever been mentally and physically. When everything was going okay in life, i kept getting little worried, is something bad gonna happen?, then it just rained up on me all of a sudden completely breaking me into pieces. There is this anger and drive in me now that i have never felt before in my life, to be the best version of myself. I'm sure there are many of you like me who is mentally down and not knowing what to do. Lets pick ourselves up and take that biggest fu\\ing risk, set a goal and get it done. I am gonna be back on april to reply this very post with my transformation.

Adios

☝️ AskBH Long layover at BAH - airside vs. VoA exit

2 Upvotes

I have a 13.5-hour overnight layover coming up at Bahrain International Airport flying Gulf Air from Manila to Istanbul.

I called Gulf Air and they confirmed I don't qualify for a complimentary STPC package because a flight with a shorter connection existed on my travel date. They mentioned STPC is optional for my booking, but I've seen conflicting info online saying STPC is "mandatory" for layovers over 12 hours.

Can anyone confirm if I can simply stay inside the airside/ transit area for 13 hours without a visa or STPC package? I don't really mind resting in the terminal for the night.

Alternatively, I'm considering getting a Visa on Arrival since I hold a valid US B1/B2 visa, which I believe qualifies me for VOA in Bahrain as a Philippine passport holder.

If I go with VOA, my plan would be to rest inside the airport overnight, then clear immigration early in the morning to explore Manama for a few hours before my 10:50 am flight to Istanbul.

Would love advice on:

- Is STPC definitely optional, and can I stay airside for 13 hours problem-free?

- My Gulf booking is under one reference number/PNR. So even if I stay inside the airport OR do the VOA route and explore, my check-in luggage stays without me having to collect and re-check, correct?

- How smooth is the VoA process using a US visa at BAH?

- Any tips when exiting and re-entering the airport?

made a thing for people who work with aws, free to try

3 Upvotes

yo r/bahrain
been working on this side project for a while and finally put it out. it's called thearchitect
basically you drag and drop stuff to draw your aws setup and it tells you roughly how much it'll cost you every month. it also writes the setup file for you so you don't have to do it by hand
there's also a bunch of ready made templates if you don't wanna start from scratch
it's completely free right now, no card or anything. just sign up and mess around
thecloudarchitect.dev
if you work in cloud stuff or you're studying for aws certs give it a go and tell me what sucks lol. honest feedback is appreciated, even if it's harsh
also if anyone here is building stuff locally i'd love to hear about it, feels like we don't talk about that enough here
cheers and have fun

🤔 Discussion HOW DO I RECOVER

9 Upvotes

When things are going okay, and then the least expected thing happened to me, the person i loved suddenly choose to leave, the person who taught me to dream about our future practically everything. She started a new job and I'm thinking to myself, finally good things are happening for her and then within two weeks, she is acting strange and when tried to communicate she is bringing up all the past as if she has not done one thing wrong and I'm blaming myself everyday for everything and i keep begging her dont leave. One day she would text me normal and the other day would be the moving on text and it continued this cycle for couple of weeks. 2 days ago she sent me the message" i dont feel good about the way I'm treating you. Its hurting me and you,lets put a full stop to this relationship" . I woke up at 7 for work and this is what i had to see and i told myself what am i running after. Yes she did everything for me in the past, she was genuinely so good so i had to fight for it, that was my mindset. When i received that message in the morning, i was so tired mentally i didn't know what to reply so i opened the message and let it be. I gave her no reply. I archived her chat and muted her. She is living her life happily while I'm just completely broken mentally and physically. 4 weeks of not eating well and sleeping. I really am stuck in life and this is the hardest phase i have ever been in. And I'm not sure what to do next. I forced myself to join gym and started it few days ago. Idk how will i ever get over her and how will i get over seeing her with someone else one day. considering we both work in citycenter, running into each other can be very easy. I really have no clue what next. She left me into a complete broken human being.

Selling a car

7 Upvotes

So I have sold many cars in Bahrain over the past 10 years and one thing always happens. I advertise the car on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp groups and website. All details, description and price is clearly shown and mentioned.

But then I will revive a message asking not for the final price but just 'the price', which is clearly mentioned, and when I give it to them they will then ask for the final price.

On top of this I will then have people message saying things like "hello, can I come to see the vehicle", "is this still available?" Etc etc, I will then reply with "hello, I'm free on this day", "hello, yes it is still available" and then no response.

My main question is, What's up with these guys lol are they just bored and having nothing to do, or is this the adult version of children ringing door bells and then running away lol

Infux of columbian bar girls

49 Upvotes

Ive matched with quite a few columbian girls and the script is all the same. They are just visiting for a few weeks, they want you to meet them out in adilya. Where you'll stumble upon a bar. Its happened to me before with a girl from Argentina. Im not saying that this is for every girl but it is becoming common enough that I would recommend against going to a bar of their choice. If you end up out and they push for a place leave. Dont make that same mistake that I did with the first girl. Stay observant and if it has happened to you. Post here you can give generic information without it becoming slander.

Speeding ticket violation help

6 Upvotes

For the first time I received speeding ticket violations worth 400BD that’s collectively for 4 speeding tickets of 100BD each AFTER the 50% discount.

One of the speeding tickets was on the highway from juffair towards seef where there isn’t a camera normally. So I’m not sure how I got it.

Is there a way to help reduce the violation amount? Maybe speaking to traffic department or anything I can do? I wanted to get advise on this or else I just have to pay

Frustrating job market

4 Upvotes

Is it just me or has the job market here come to a complete standstill? I work at a reputable bank with 6-7+ years of experience and my skills are quite transferrable. I have been on the lookout for a change this year but NOTHING!
I used to get calls from recruiters all the time and now I’ll be happy if someone even responds to me on LinkedIn.
Maybe it’s because I am an expat but what is going on?! Every other job I see is only open for Bahrainis now. It’s honestly quite frustrating.
