An Unthinkable Question In This English 1119 Module

-
Looks harmless enough on the outside... But on the inside...
 
I was in Barrymore Theatre today catching "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" with my 2for1 Broadway Week tickets when I saw a picture of a question from this book. It shocked & amused me. I felt compelled to forgo a good night sleep & immediately wrote about it when I got home.

Check out this unthinkable SPM model question:

I've been cetak rompaked, featured offline/online, & randomly uploaded onto a viral photo album. But, never in my wildest dreams, would I have conjured up the fantasy of being in a model question module!
HOHOHO!! Monumental! Thousands of students from over Malaysia will spend an incredibly significant amount of time, 5 seconds, thinking about what I've done!! HOHOHO!!
Can I recruit them to be unbelievable teachers with TFM? Maybe I can ask them for a 30th birthday gift?

Oh, don't bother trying to Google or Facebook search for the author because she does not exist online. Believe me. I've tried all sorts of internet wizardry. However, I did find out that she's a prominent writer of textbooks & reference books.

If you have her personal contact information, ask her permission & do contact me. I've yet to obtain this from my personal contacts. I would love to send her something from New York.

If you're reading this, ma'am, thanks for making my day!! =)

    Congrats on being featured, but the question requires very minimal thinking.

      Lol. LOTS or HOTS, really doesn't matter. How many people get featured in a reference book?

Understanding The New SPM (2021) English 1119 Paper Format

- Post a Comment

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.

What To Do When Your Unifi Service Suddenly Drops

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…

How To Fix Logitech Options Not Loading

- Post a Comment

I use a Logitech K380 bluetooth keyboard at home & love it to bits. Very quiet & the tactile response is just perfect. Also, it's super small so easy to put away when I need to pile exam papers on my desk. Still, there's one small problem though... It is a compact keyboard so the multimedia buttons double as function keys. I use the function keys A LOT & it's really cumbersome for me to have to hold the "fn" button every time I want to use them. I.e., try pressing alt+fn+f4 with one hand. Thankfully, with the Logitech Options software, I can default to the function keys.

A few months ago, I was chagrined to learn that my keyboard had spontaneously returned to factory settings. "No problem", I thought. "I'll just change the settings in Logitech Options." Only to find that the app wouldn't load on my Windows 10 machine, resulting in the blank window you see screen-captured above. "Let me try reinstalling." Uninstal…

If you are not from the Kapit/Song/Belaga region, chances are you will not be familiar with the schedules of the express boat which are totally essential for travel.
And it gets really frustrating when you want to plan your journey & all you can rely on is the memory of a local who may or may not be accurate.
I sifted through a lot of gunk on the internet before I found a probably reliable schedule at sarawaknews.blogspot.com.

I've printed it out & pasted it on my wall.
Here's a copy of the schedule for your reference.

Vessel (From Sibu) ETD

Tip SPM Dari Pelajar-Pelajar Cemerlang Straight A+

After feeding my baby & tucking him in for his late morning nap, I finally had time to look at my messages. Lo' & behold, a friend sent me a poster about a webinar by straight-A+ students. Interesting! I sheepishly looked at the date, what? TODAY! Heart racing, I quickly glanced at the time, 11 PG. Oh, petang. Wait a minute, MANA ADA 11 PETANG? PAGI LA BODO!

My eyes darted to the upper right corner of the screen. 10.45AM! I quickly forwarded the poster + some ulasan to ALL my students' groups as well as to my school staff's chatgroup on WhatsApp. Feeling bad that I gave them so little notice, I knew I had to attend, take notes & share those notes with my students. Since I'm doing that, I might as well share it with everyone. The notes are written in my broken BM to include my lowest-performing students.
