WebDriverIO Version 5 vs Version 4 Differences
I used webdriverIO library in my programming. Recently I upgraded from version 4 to version 5. To my horror so many breaking changes and not much explanation on the internet. So I put some difference on it.
WebDriveIO – Version 4
const options = {
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'firefox'
}
};
const browser = webdriverio.remote(options);
await browser.init();
const select = "a";
const attribute = "href";
let results = await browser.getAttribute(selector, attribute);
results = await browser.getHTML(selector);
WebDriverIO – Version 5
const options = {
capabilities: {
browserName: 'firefox'
}
};
const browser = await webdriverio.remote(options);
const select = "a";
const attribute = "href";
let elements = await browser.$(selector);
let results = await elements.getAttribute(attribute);
elements = await browser.$(selector);
results = await elements.getHTML(selector);
The Difference
- In version 5, options desiredCapabilities change to capabilities
- In version 5, need to put await in remote and no need to declare init() anymore as it is deprecated.
- In version 5, use $(selector) to select elements before getting elements content or attribute.

Real Kids 2020 Pre-school Education Fees
At this third quarter of the 2019 schooling, we received letter from school requesting confirmation for our son next year enrollment.
They need confirmation so they can plan out next year opening seats for new registration. They offered us a complimentary custom-made poncho for swimming classes and apron for art and culinary classes for confirmation before end October 2019.
I share with you all Real Kids 2020 fees for your market survey or reference if you are looking for the rates.

No More Maid i-Kad Issuance – Starting August 2019
For 2019, as usual my maid permit needs to be renewed before her work permit expiry by middle of September 2019.
I proceed with MyEG Services and chose to self collect at MyEG office. Not like 2018, this time they have change office to its own MyEG Tower at Empire City. That new building is on the opposite road of Ikea, Cycle and Carriage, Mutiara Damansara or easiest same row with MOFAZ Damansara.
Depending on which side of the road your driving from, I was from Penchala Link and waze direct me to other side of entrance. Easier for you to get waze direction since that driveway still messy with MRT under construction.
Back to my point, after MyEG staff settled putting the work permit sticker on passport, I was informed that ‘government’ no longer issue ikad to maid.
But to get clearer picture on why? I also dont know. There is nothing stated as well on immigration websites . I am still digging but no online results found … sigh..

Node Red Set POST Parameters for HTTP Request
It is easy to set POST parameters for HTTP request.
The Flow Diagram
Steps To Set Get Parameters
1) Inject Node
– Payload – can set to anything. In my case I use timestamp
2) Function Node
– Set POST parameters value here
– msg.headers must set the content type.
– All the POST parameters are set inside msg.payload and the parameter names must correspond to RESTFUL API that you query.
msg.headers={
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
};
msg.payload = {};
msg.payload={
'ID': 1159
};
3) HTTP Request Node
– Choose method: POST
– Set the correspondent RESTFUL endpoint.
4) Debug Node
– Use to display the output
Notes:
Node Red version used – v0.20.7
Node Red Pass GET Parameters for HTTP Request
It is easy to set GET parameters for HTTP request. You need to use the mustache brackets inside the URL itself.
The Flow Diagram
Steps To Set Get Parameters
1) Inject Node
– Payload – can set to anything. In my case I use timestamp
2) Function Node
– Set parameter GET value here
– In my case I use parameter name “path” and “limit”, set as msg.path and msg.limit
– You can use any name for your parameter name but it be the same as in HTTP Request Node
3) HTTP Request Node
– Choose method: GET
– In the URL, use mustache brackets to declare your variable {{{path}}}
– The parameter name must be same as in the Function Node
4) Debug Node
– Use to display the output
Notes:
Node Red version used – v0.20.7

House Wiring Guidelines
I do a lot of new wiring for my properties. Usually I just hire electrician or civil contractors to do wiring without much thought whether the wires they used are suitable or not in term of ampacity (the maximum current the conductor can carry continously).
Until one day, one electrician told me the wires that I used for my fan and lamps are too thin to carry the current. It could pose fire risks. This is eyes opener.
Few days after I got the advise, one of new wiring was overloaded. The wires inside were burnt.
So I did my own studies as a guidelines to me, so when I hire an electrician I would know whether the wires and the way they connect to the electric power is able to support or no the possible current usage.
Guidelines on Wires Size
This is a guidelines only better check with your trusted or certified electrician.
If the same wire use for fan, lamps, fridge etc, you must add all the amperes and from the derive the required wire cross sectional area.
Of course usually, electrician will put extra buffer for the wire size.
| Usage | Expected Power (Watts) | Expected Current (Ampere) | Expected Wire Size - Cross sectional area (mm2) | Advisable Connection Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ceiling Fan | 75 | 0.3125 | 0.5 | Direct / Plug |
| Aircond (1 HP) | 750 | 3.125 | 1.5 | Direct |
| Water Heater | 3,600 | 15 | 2.5 | Direct |
| Fridge (450L) | 46 | 0.1917 | 0.5 | Direct / Plug |
| Air Fryer | 1,400 | 5.83 | 2.5 | Direct |
| Lamps | 75 | 0.3125 | 0.5 | Direct / Plug |
| Washing Machine | 500 | 2.083 | 1.5 | Direct |
Connection Type
This is my own definition not electrician definition. There are two types of connection:-
- Use plug to existing plug point
- Tap direct into existing wires in plug point.
Use Plug
The maximum current is 13 ampere as the fuse can only handle up to that ampere.
Direct Loop to Existing Plug Point
This is better at maximum if not mistaken it is loop directly to existing cable of 2.5mm2 or supported maximum current of around 22 ampere.
What to Avoid For Wiring
Water Heater
For water heater, don’t use plug better use direct loop to existing wires. Especially water heater produces vapor that might cause short circuit and easily makes the wiring wear and tear faster.
What is Watt, Ampere & Volts?
Watt is power unit with formula as below:
Watt (W)= Amperage (A) x Voltage (V)
Analogy with water garden hose:-
Water come out from garden hose (watts) = Water volume (Amperage) x Water pressure (voltage)
Recommendation on Wire Size
Ligthing & Ceiling Fan: 1.5mm2 Aircond 1.5HP and below: 2.5mm2 Adding new plug / power point: 2.5mm2
Recommended Wiring Contractor
Below is my recommended wiring contractor for Shah Alam or Kota Damansara area.
Azworld Tech (Azrin) – 0 17-376 0530
- Appointment on time
- Expert and reasonable charging

| Wire Size - Cross sectional area (mm2) | Maximum Current (A) | Maximum Powers (Watts) |

| 1.0 | 10 | 2,400 |

What To Eat at Genting Highland- Delicious Thai Cuisines > choice#1
We have been making few staycation trips at Genting Highland just to have feel of living and enjoying view up the hills.
Within month of August 2019, we make 2 trips. Each stay around 2 to 3 nights using AirBNB booking facilities for homestay. Only one of the homestays provides induction stove for cooking which we decided not to spent time on cooking but just eat out and explore food places.
I will share one good place, we hunt for food up here.
Choice #1: NOK SOKMO GENTING TOMYAM – Restoran Masakan Thai dan Masakan Kampung
Location: Genting Permai, in front of GEO38 Condominium.
Latitude Longitude: 3.386584, 101.774920
This restaurant serving delicious halal Thai cuisines which most of the night time all tables are taken. Make sure you come early for dinner (before 7.30pm) so your order come quick and no need to wait for vacant table.
We ate few times there just because of its satisfying flavours and at affordable price.
Ordered same dishes were never bored for me laa. Hehehe. So this was the food that we ate repeatedly.
Price range for all of the above within RM91 – RM94, with 5 bowls of plain rice and ice water or maybe with additional 1 or 2 glasses of teh tarik and kopi O. Food deliciously cook and worth the price. Cheaper for that 5-6 lauk.
It is cheap and good food especially in Genting now the food price is expensive.
You may explore other foods which they also serve ‘masakan kampung’. tapi belum try lagi sebab yang atas tu sedap sangat. ;P
