My KL Adobe

-
I've moved to KL for my practical studies as a successful & inspirational English teacher of the future.
Over the years I have lived in many exciting places with a lot to shout about...
This year is not different...
so here is a glimpse of My Humble Adobe in KL...

I'm studying in Institut Perguruan Bahasa-bahasa Antarabangsa (IPBA), Lembah Pantai, KL.
My place of residency is right next to my institute! =D
For those of you who dont know Lembah Pantai, it's very near Bangsar & UM.

I occupy a room in one of the penthouses in Pantai Puri Luxury Apartments...
The name of my place sounds impressive but this is a government hostel so do expect the apartments to be in some need of maintenance.
However, everything works out well & we get a spacious apartment in KL city for just RM70 a month!
YES! ONE NIL!!
=D

My room is quite a spacious room so I had to have roommates...
I was fortunate to be roomies with 2 awesome individuals, Guna & Nesa.
These two provide amusement...
especially when they start arguing in Tamil!
hehehe...

The boys from my course & year are the only occupants of the two penthouses in the building, so you'll find our front doors open & half-naked boy running from apartment to apartment!
Very Nice!
=D

In the living area of our apaprtment, we have an Xbox 360 + hi-def LCD for the really stressful times when you need to shoot somebody or button bash!
Sexy Times!
=D

In the apartment next door, we have a Playstation 3 + LCD + Rockband Set for the development of our musical intelligence!
Rockband ROCKS!!
I Like!!!

To add to the perks of My Humble Adobe, I get free wireless broadband internet from the balcony of the apartment next door!
Instead of hiding in their rooms, you'll find people with their laptops or PDAs hanging around the balcony & chatting while they surf the net!
Cohort 2 Penthouses Are The Place To Be!!

Therefore, as you can see...
Besides the 101 ways of brainwashing your children, we do know how to have a house that makes eyes go beady & mouths drop!
Good Times!
=D

What To Do When Your Unifi Service Suddenly Drops

-
Image
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.
