My First Kiwi Ball

-
Yesterday, Saturday, night i joined my first ever ball...

The St George Ball 2006

It was a kiwi (New Zealander) ball organised by a student hostel, St George.
However, it is not the "ball" that many of you, my readers, think it is...

First of all, it was held at a large sports bar, Chicago Bar, not a grand hall.
Second of all, all you do there is either drink or dance, there is no program whatsoever.
Jz a DJ playing party music, the dance floor & the bar.

Dress up & pay NZ$30 just for 2 free glasses of tap beer or house wine, finger food and a night of dancing & drinking (at your own expense).
You have to put in a LOT of effort to hava good time...
It wud hav been more economical to jz go to one of the local clubs... free entrance...

The only difference here is u hav many many friends there...
And its really wonderful to hav all ur frends around & buying each other drinks...
Dancing with the girls...
It was really a blast!

My date to the ball, Amanda, was really beautiful tat nite... as usual...
She's a very special person... however, she doesnt realise it...
nor will she accept this truth...
Well... let's all spend some time blessing her when we next talk to Jesus, k?

GBU!!!


As usual, my blog posts are never complete without pictures!

    Yeah, I went to a ball too in Aus. Like you said, you need to put in effort to make it fun, so I went to dance with my friends...AND I broke my brand new pair of glasses. Darn!

    But it was fun, overall, getting dressed for it, my date and dance. :)

Dikecam Lagi Kerana Mempertahankan Guru BI Bukan Opsyen

Walaupun saya cuba sedaya upaya untuk meningkatkan kebolehan bahasa Inggeris saya, memang akan adanya banyak sesilapan & kekurangan juga. Selepas saya berkongsi tentang usaha saya untuk melibatkan murid-murid saya dalam kem BI, saya masih lagi dikecam oleh beberapa netizen dalam group ibubapa ini. Mungkin adanya rasa dendam daripada usaha saya untuk mempertahankan guru BI bukan opsyen awal bulan tadi: https://www.jarodyong.com/2019/12/teacher-was-cyberbullied-because-of-their-english.html

Saya juga telah menyeru agar semua pihak BLOCK laman-laman web yang mengaut keuntungan daripada isu viral tersebut: https://www.jarodyong.com/2019/12/laman-tersebut-untung-daripada-cyberbullying.html

Teacher Was Cyberbullied Because Of Their English

-

UPDATE: After communicating with the parent, I found that I HAVE NOT BEEN FAIR TO THE PARENT in this post. Therefore, I have made several amendments in light of new information & will post about the parent's experience as well as a serious call to action. Still, I am interested in hearing the teacher's side of the story to balance things out.

What did the teacher do to deserve this? To be publicly shamed on so many websites (World of Buzz, Mashable SEA, Says, AsiaOne, RedChilli21 MY, Mothership SG, etc) & to be on the receiving end of toxic comments on social media?

Is it because the teacher has lower English proficiency than all of you? I'm sure you realize that English proficiency is a marker of privilege & not one of intelligence, right? Do you know the teacher's background? How do you know that the teacher & the others you're shaming in the comments aren't working hard to improve their English? What have you done to help this teacher do bett…

Dear English language teachers!
If you're like me, as in you have no clue what your CPT results are, I have good news for you! You can now check if you've got C1 or C2 here (http://apps.moe.gov.my/abpg/cpt/)!!
If you've got a A1-B2, your name will not appear in the list on the site.

This website was released early this week & already on the very day itself, this jungle teacher has received more than 5 notifications about it! BEFORE 8AM!!! Talk about an affective & efficient cascading model for the dissemination of knowledge amongst education professionals!
I've even had a strange lady spam my FB page for me to reveal my results! Thankfully, I removed the unsightly posts & will satisfy her curiosity here tonight!

Laman-Laman Tersebut Untung Daripada "Cyberbully" Seorang Guru

-

Disclaimer: Mohon maaf atas kekurangan bahasa saya. Minta tunjuk ajar ya! Kalau nak tolong edit, boleh juga!

Pada hari Isnin minggu lepas, nampaklah juga di fb sebuah nota yang ditulis oleh seorang guru BI yang mempunyai kesilapan bahasa yang ketara. Guru juga yang kongiskannya tetapi yang menyedihkan adalah guru itu turut menyindir rakan seperjuangannya. Dalam hati, saya berfikir perbuatan ini seperti meludah ke langit. Tetapi tak apa, biarkan sahaja. Hangat-hangat tahi ayam. Tak lama lagi orang akan lupakan.

Tetapi hari seterusnya isu tersebut telah ditularkan ke ENAM laman web yang dilanganni berjuta-juta orang. Maka bacalah saya apa yang mereka tularkan itu. Didapati bahawa artikel-artikel tersebut hanyalah "clickbait", berat sebelah, & banyak ditambahnya cili & bawang, TANPA memberikan guru tersebut peluang untuk mempertahankan diri. Tak apa kalau nak tular, tetapi jangan sahaja berat sebelah. Masa itulah saya rasa agak panas kerana tindakan mereka ini tidak adi…

Students Participated in District & State English-In-Camps

This picture is truly worth a thousand words. Before this picture could even be taken & those half-hearted smiles immortalized, a story has already developed. This picture documents my school's inaugural participation at the Kuching District-Level English-In-Camp, despite multiple reiterations over the years.

The perennial issue has been our students have extremely low proficiency in English to benefit from such things & demanding training schedules which should not be missed lest the wrath of the coaches be incurred. Also, the paperwork for arranging transportation & getting parental consent is an effective deterrent, not to mention the slight possibility of being thrown under the bus if anything unfortunate should happen. This is a classic vicious cycle.

WOULDN'T MY STUDENTS REMAIN IGNORANT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH IF NONE OF THEM PARTICIPATE IN ENGLISH RELATED CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES?
