TMRW

A digital bank by UOB that is mainly for young generations (and so other digital banks) and available in some SE Asian countries. For some reason, the Singaporean version is bland, has no cartoony world (called "City of TMRW"), and no gamification

Talking about digital banks, probably they're meant to fund banks for their credit business due to how banks work (bank uses deposited money to credit people who need it and get income from the interest in return)
TMRW is a digital bank by UOB that offers gamification and rewards if you reach certain targets

Like other digital banks (in Indonesia, not sure in other countries), they offer a moderate APY

Anta

Also "ente", "ante," and other variations. A word for "you" in some Semitic languages. Ideal for intimidating-sounding speeches
"Anta... susi baka" (Amharic and Arabic)
"Anta Niko"

Sometimes used in Indonesian for Arabian/Islamic feel:
"Tahukah anta?"
"Antum nanya, antum bertanya tanya?"
(FYI: the Indonesian/Malay word for formal "you", anda, is borrowed from "anta")

sample music

Music meant to be remixed for creating songs, often used in raps and EDMs. Probably a trade or an IP secret for most or many musicians as this kind of song is usually not credited and they probably do not tell you if you ask
So, Your Favorite Martian or Ray William Johnson introduced me to the term "sample music" or "sample production music". He probably will not tell you which company he uses if you ask since he hides the file names whenever he wants to show proof that other songs with the same patterns as his are not stolen but uses the same sample music company as his

I identified a song and Google, Shazam, and Reddit music ID AIs (r/NameThatSong) gave me different songs with the exact sample music, mostly explicit (especially on the lyrics), but I feel something else or not explicit if there's no context given. Even there's a Michael Jackson song with one of the variations of the exact sample music, indicating that the sample song I searched is older than my estimation

Orang Tua

Or "OT"

One of the biggest consumer goods company in Indonesia with an old Chinese man as the logo

When abbreviated, people see this company like P&G and Unilever

But when isn't abbreviated, their name have a strong association to their red wine product, or amer (an acronym for anggur merah)(pronounced "amer" as in "America", amèr, amaer, A-maire, or a-mer)

This possibly causes their logo and how they called are different when placed on their non-alcoholic products. The non-alcoholic logo is simplified
Orang Tua Group produces things like dental health products (toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash), snacks, drinks, etc. Started as an alcoholic drink company, or they call it "traditional drink" and they still sell it

Suka

An indonesian word for "like" (liking someone, things)

Interestingly, it coincides with Russian language, and it means "B*tch" in Russian
"Aku suka anime"
"Aku suka tepung bumbu Mamasuka"
"Aku suka Rorojump"
"Aku suka Meatball (Weibo)"
"Apakah kamu menyukai aku?"

Cryptocurrency

Lottery, but at a larger, larger scale. In SE Eastern countries and India, there's something better than this bullshit and they're unified QR payment systems, central bank's interbank transfer system, and virtual accounts. This investment is more a lottery than a real investment

Probably born because of complex electronic payment rules in the West + probably greed. In Indonesia, you can transfer your money easily without private companies as middlemen like Paypal and the central bank acts as the middleman and it's cheap (only about $0,16 for small to moderate transactions and about $0,43 for RTGS / larger transactions). A Canadian Youtuber who makes Indonesian content, Sacha Stevenson, said that in Canada, you need to make an appointment, which is time-consuming, to transfer money to your family otherwise it's considered a suspicious transaction, while in Indonesia you don't

In the West, electronic payment methods are proprietary and there's no unified payment system (not referring to Indian's UPI, but in general)
The payment QR code: BCA (An Indonesian Bank)

Me: *Opens Gojek and pay with this app cos QRIS is unified* (QRIS, pronounced Kris or colloquially Kyu-ris, is the name for Indonesian's unified payment QR standard)

The app: *proceed to payment screen and pay*

Me: "See, Indonesia and SE Asian countries have something better than cryptocurrency"

------

Me: *transfers money to my other account in another bank*

The banking app: *Choose BI-FAST (2.5K IDR) or BI-RTGS (6.5 K IDR)*

Me: "No need a private company middleman! Things like Paypal and Skrill are no use in Indonesia unless for overseas transactions"

Each payment method has different use cases and suits for different types of transactions. Non-bank payment methods (can be filled/topped-up with bank, ride-hailing apps drivers, and convenience store chains) and QR codes are suitable for daily transactions like buying snacks and groceries; bank transfers are for family, company, and individual people money transfers; virtual account is suitable for buying something priced higher than 10,000K IDR, must be on the same bank and it's automated. Both banks and non-banks are usually have the unified QR code payment method, and for Bank Jago, the QR payment is tied to GoPay (Gojek)

kawaii sign

or kawaii signature. A Japanese term for signatures with cute elements on them, usually having complex analogies of letters and shapes (usually animals). Popular in VTubers (mostly Japanese-only) and Kpop communities, both fans and the music band members

Used colloquially in Japan (they use hanko in formal context), but sometimes used as formal signatures outside Japan
There are some or a few people who makes kawaii sign commissions if you search for "kawaii sign" in Katakana letters and they all, the examples, looks catchy. I discovered it from a random VTuber/streamer in my Twitter recommended accounts and she did retweeted or tweet about who made her kawaii sign
