My CPT Results

-
liulian runtuh oh!
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!

The reason why the 90% of English teachers checked their CPT results on the very day itself is:
  • They waited 2 years for this. Those who got A1-B2 are probably still in the dark. Sorry, guys.
  • There are monetary incentives involved! And a BIG ONE!!!

    • Bayaran Insentif Profisiensi BI (IProBI) kpd PPP yg Mengajar BI

    This one-off incentive is only for those:
  • with a Band of C1 or C2.
  • appointed before 1 January 2015.
  • who teach the English language at school (primary & secondary).
  • Free from disciplinary action.


    • It's not given away just like that, you have to apply for it!
    1. Download this form. Fill it truthfully & completely.
    2. Include your current teaching timetable & your CPT results as per this site.
    3. Hand it to your Ketua Jabatan for approval.
    4. Have the Chief Clerk send it to your PTJ. (In Primary Schools, your PTJ is at the PPD. Secondary schools have their own PTJ.)
    5. PTJ will cc to PPD who will then cc to JPN.
    For more info, check out the FAQ.

    Now you know. =)
    Now that you've seen my results, you want a present right?
    I've got a present for you! A big one!
    Follow this link!! It's a puzzle. If you're smart, you'll figure it out & solve it. Then, you'll get a big reward yourself! Liulian runtuh ah!

    I'm glad I did well in my CPT.
    If my TOEFL results are any indication, I should be right up there.
    I'm just glad I won't be involved in ProELT which will take up too much of my time. I'd love to learn from the consultants with British Council but I'd rather spend my precious time on activities, programmes & innovations for the betterment of my students.
    I'm stuck at school for 24 hours a day, 300 days a year. What else would I be doing, right?

    For those of you who got C2, congratulations!!! Invest the money wisely. Don't be selfish. Do share a little with other teachers.
    For those of you who got C1, it's worth it to try for the extra money.
    For the rest of you, you've got until the end of 2016. You can do it!

    For those of you who were left out, sorry guys. I'm sure your rezeki will come sooner or later. Be thankful for what you already have.
    Remember, we are here to serve our students & make them into better people than we will ever be.
    This incentive is just the icing on top of a big cake of intrinsic satisfaction.
    Have a sweet weekend, everyone!

    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

    A Review of Mosquito Coils In The Market

    -
    Image
    Mosquito coils = The first line of defence against savage jungle mosquitoes. Remember when there was completely no electricity at my school ? It happened during the dry season so the nights were really really warm & hard to sleep with the windows closed. Why close the windows you ask? Because if you don't close the windows, the savages from the jungle will climb in & suck your blood! Literally! I'm talking about swarms of mosquitoes gang-banging your skin & leaving you with clusters of chickenpox-like bumps on your skin in the morning! These guys even bite through clothing!! The itchiness that ensues will practically ensure that you never have a good night sleep. In order to keep those monsters at bay, I had to go really low-tech. I eventually experimented with mosquito coils. There are so many in the market & I thought that all of them worked the same since they had the same basic ingredients. I was wrong. They had different effects on the mosquitoes &am

    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
