The Good Boy I Am

-
As many of you should know i am a Christian...
As for those of you who dont know...
Now you know! =)

Just like the good Christian boy i am, i wana grow in my knowledge & understanding of Jesus Christ as well as in my relationship with Him & my father God.
But there is only one way to grow... By spending time wif God!

How do you spend time wif God?
- Read God's word (the bible)
- Converse with God (pray)
- Gather with fellow Christians in His name (fellowship of the Christ)

I can do the former two by myself in the privacy of my super amazing room here in NZ.
But wadabout the latter?
The best way to do it is to go to church!
So wad church do i attend in Wellington?
City Church!
http://www.citychurch.co.nz/



Why City Church and not any other church in Wellington?
Well, first of all this church has hit my weakspot... they really know how to attract a young Malaysian Chinese guy like me...
The bribed me... with FOOD!!!
Yes, pastors all around the world reading my blog...
The secret to outreach... lies in the belly!

I was treated to a newcomers welcome dinner at the begining of my patronage and not only did i experience the wonderful cooking of some of the church members...
I was also treated to the wonderful personalities that form the pool of their hospitaliy team.
They were all so friendly, cheerful and smiling like they didnt hav a care in the world except in taking care of you!
This made me feel confortable in a foreign land full of white-skinned natives wif a different culture.
They gave me an experience i am familiar wif at every house of the Lord (church)... love.


By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,if ye have love one to another.
(John 13:35 KJV)

Besides the food... this church is impressive in the way it runs its Sunday services as well!
There are two parts to a church service.
First, there is a worship. Then, the sermon.

They allow the people here the freedom of worship during worship...
This means that as the worship team plays the songs and as the lyrics are projected on the screen, you are allowed to praise God or worship God in your own way.
You can sing along... you can clap your hands... you can jump... you can raise your hands to heaven... you can close your eyes... do wadeva you wana do to praise God with all your heart!
For it is not wad you do that matters...
It's the manner in which you praise...

Praise ye the LORD.I will praise the LORD with my whole heart,
in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
(Psalm 111:1)

The preaching was at first simple and basic, kinda like milk...

but now it's getting more and more meatier! Like red meat! Yum!
And they preach form God's word so they arent a seperatist cult group or sumthin preaching about themselves and not about Jesus.

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.
(1Corinthians 2:4)
All in all, this church will be the church i will commit myself to during my stay in Wellington.
If you are interested in seeing wad wonderful things go on at church, feel free to join me every Sunday!

Just contact me!
GBU!!!

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 th...

Understanding The New SPM (2021) English 1119 Paper Format

-
Image
This outline & those of other SPM language papers were made publicly available on the Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia (LPM) website . 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.

How To Fix Logitech Options Not Loading

-
Image
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." Uni...

Exotic Fruit: Buah Isu

-
Image
I've been teaching in the Iban motherland for more than 1 year now & I have tasted many exotic fruits exclusively available only within these quiet secluded timber forests. Now, don't you smirk at me! You perverted baskets I call friends are thinking about a different 'fruit'! There are no innuendos here. The exotic fruits that I'm talking about are REAL fruits. First, let me introduce you to the cousin of the king of fruits... Buah Isu Buah Isu resembles it's cousin, the Durian , but I was told that it is NOT in the Durian family. The spikes are longer & they are sharper. They are also very much smaller than the Durians. It's about the size of a man's palm. It has a pleasantly sweet fragrance which is not pungent like the Durian's. Because of it's size, it is easily opened with a cleaver. After opening my first Isu, I couldn't help but bounce off the walls in gay laughter. It was all too amusing to me! I though...

Tip SPM Dari Pelajar-Pelajar Cemerlang Straight A+

This morning, I attended Kapten Talk 2.0: Student Edition. 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.
