How to change your homepage people.utm.my setting?

One of colleagues, Dr Narina asked me how to change the homepage setting of people.utm.my.  I learned this from Dr Norah via face to face.  Here are the steps: 

First, click Appearance (on your left side).

Second, select Customize (click that)

Third, select Homepage Setting (click that)

Fourth, select Homepage displays by either turn on (blue) Your latest post or A static page.  If it is turn off, it will have white color.

I am such a softie

I was spring cleaning my office (no picture to show because it is so messy),  I found some of my old masters assignments (sigh.. what was I thinking hoarding these things.  I know right, I should get rid of it). 

Then, to take a break, I checked my FB because I am learning to use Jamboard from one of my friends so, I need to review her class activity using Jamboard and like always, I was diverted to other things and I ended up “exploring” this webpage.  One of the post is about late Mimi.  I have known her since my undergraduate years.  A friendly senior.  She was so humble and care-free even though she spoke fluent English with a tinge of American accent.  I felt envious.  But she never was a snob even though she was one of the best students in our psychology department. 

Fast forward, she messaged me not long after I finished my PhD.  She was finishing her PhD in Clinical Psychology.  Then after that, we kept in touch using FB messages and she invited me to hang out with her when I came to KL for work or leisure purposes.  I never had the chance to honour her invitation.  Not even once.  Then, in 2017, I heard the news of her passing.  I felt numb for days thinking how fragile is our life that we take for granted.  Mimi, reading posts written by others about you in the Psychology@IIUM blog comforts me.  Al-fatihah to you.  May Allah Grant you eternal bliss.

Vape is Haram

Ita told me that they found vape when they did spot check few days ago at school.  I was shocked because last year, they found normal cigarette.  Now, somebody has upgraded his/their addiction to nicotine using vape.  Astaghfirullah.   What should I do with this youngster?  

Prawn-anchovy fritter [Cucur udang ikan bilis]

When I was in Durham, this was our weekend breakfast dish that I would prepare.  Just the smell of it would wake my housemates up.  I still remember Zeah and Nurul would said to each other (they were sharing room) “Si Dijah sudah masak cucur dia atu ni.  Bah kita bangun sekarang.  Nanti kehabisan” [Dijah is cooking her cucur right now.  Let’s wake up now.  Don’t wait until it finishes]

I would prepare a jug of plain tea to go with the cucur.  I vividly remember they would sit on the sofa while munching my cucur.  How time flies!  It has been a while since I prepare this myself.  Food does bring people closer to one another.  Indeed.
