    Why are women so predictable?
    Money = Shoes/Bags/Clothes/Jewelry.

    Invest in something that lasts...
    Like a pet.
    Go get one at your nearest man store.

    You will get your salary but you have to wait.
    It will be delayed by bureaucracy.
    As our government upholds the ISO standard (it's all nonsense to me).

    Your school clerk will have to process your documents, then send it to PPD.
    PPD have to process your documents, then send it to JPN.
    JPN process your documents, then send to KPM.
    KPM process your documents, then approve & send letter to JPN.
    JPN will process the letter, then forward to PPD.
    PPD will process the letter, then forward to clerk.
    Then clerk will then proceed to pay you your salary.

    This process could take 1-4 months.
    But dont worry.
    You will get all that you are due.
    But it will take time depending on how effective the clerk at your school, at PPD, at JPN & at KPM is.

    So be very very nice to the clerk handling money!
    I play football with mine & help him with some of his work!
    Because of that, he is a really nice to me!

What To Do When Your Unifi Service Suddenly Drops

- Post a Comment

After finally putting my kid to sleep, I was about to settle into the couch with my wife & stream a movie, when my Unifi fiber optic internet connection suddenly dropped. When it didn't come back after 1 hour, I realized that I had to do something. Considering that I pay my bills promptly every month, it must be a technical issue. Here's what I did to fix the problem. It look me less than 20 minutes.


1. First, I checked my modem (the white machine). I checked the lights on the modem. When the modem is functioning properly, lights will be on for POWER, PON, LAN1 & TEL1. If the red light for LOS lights up, call 100 to resolve the issue. Also, I made sure that all the wire connections were tight.


2. Next, I checked my router (the black machine). Again, I checked the lights. When the router is functioning properly, lights will be on for POWER, GLOBE, WIFI, LAN1. My POWER light was blinking, so that means that there was no internet connection. Again, I made sure that all th…

Understanding The New SPM (2021) English 1119 Paper Format

- Post a Comment
Image
I'm sure you've seen the above being circulated on the internet. But, what does it mean? How does this paper compare to the current SPM paper for English? Do we have to change our testing practices in Form 4?

At this moment, information is sparse despite great public interest. As the head of the English panel at my school, my Form 4 colleagues will come to me for what to do & parents will ask me what this is about. Until we have very specific instructions from the ministry, this is what I will be telling my colleagues & parents based on the limited amount of information available to me from my intimate experience with the current SPM paper & second-hand information about the PT3 English paper.

Let me know if I got anything wrong or if you have more detailed information.

I Am A Failed Distance Learning Teacher

- Post a Comment
Image
Prior to the MCO, I had already formed groups in WhatsApp with students with access to mobile phones for my English language classes at school. However, after two weeks of using WhatsApp groups to manage learning, I quickly realized that it was a terrible place to manage any kind of work (which makes me wonder why school admins use WhatsApp/Telegram to manage their schools, but that's another story for another day. For those who are interested in alternatives, try Teams / Slack. You & your entire staff will thank me.). I needed a more specialized piece of software.
Since the MOE has provided each teacher with a Google suite account, I was one of the few teachers at my school who decided to make use of it. After spending an entire day setting up & loading up all the past assignments onto it for each of my 4 classes, I found out to great chagrin that only students with MOE accounts could join those classrooms. My students had not been assigned their accounts yet, so I had to …

Athletes Inspire: Seeking Role Models For Our Students

- Post a Comment
Image
I teach at the Sarawak State Sports School & my students are all state-level athletes from all over Sarawak. It has been a real struggle for me to get my students to learn English, even before the MCO & the serious obstacles in online learning.
Readers of my blog will be familiar with stories of students who avoid me, just because they have to say "good morning" to me in English, & those who literally run away from me because they know I want to involve them in an English program/competition. The sad part is I'm not alone. The teachers of other academic subjects at my school are facing similar struggles & working very hard to address them.

Why is this so? Mainly, because the proper foundations for learning were not put in place in their formative years. When learning is such a struggle, they go all in with sports, which may not be an effective long-term strategy for a majority of my students. Also, many of my students are from rural B40 communities & do…
