我朋友曾经说过一句很惨酷,但是也很现实的话:“在路旁所谓慈善团体如果向我募捐,我是不会睬他们的……”
是的,听起来是很惨酷,但是要知道,现在欺骗所谓善心人士的人、管道实在太多了,多到你必须要三思才能心甘情愿的从钱包掏出你的钱。人说现代人冷漠,其实我们归根到底还是有血有肉的人,稍微煽动一下,还是会发挥自己的同情心的。而且,花少少钱就能够改善人家的生活,有何不好?只是,你又如何确定对方是不是利用你的同情心,来满足他自己的私欲?人类社会越来越进步,骗人的管道越来越层出不穷,甚至你每天吃的,穿的,用的都有可能是人家用来欺骗的用具。后果是彼此互不相信,你欺我骗。
听过这一句话,本来是一种很好的价值观,但是物转星移,到了这个时代却变成了自己变水鱼的一个管道。这句话是如此说的“宁愿帮错人,也不愿miss掉一个”(大意如此)。到了这个行骗可以出动到一个团体行动的世界,却变成了害人害己的最佳良言。害人,是你可能助长别人的犯罪活动。害己,是因为你浪费了金钱。所以,就算我要做善事,我也宁愿储够一笔钱然后把钱捐给我放心得下的机构也不要在街边一点点一点点捐出去。
为了那几个臭钱,有人甘愿冒用宗教的名义到处“化缘”,有人甘愿装聋扮哑,有人愿意出卖自尊,有人愿意去偷人家的小孩,有人愿意强逼一个小孩和他一起行乞,TMD,钱对你们真的如此重要吗?难道除了钱,这些人什么都没有?在这个号称最先进的年代的今日,这一些,都只能很生动的成为“道德沦落”的真人真事。我不敢想象我们的后代有朝一日重温历史时会不会笑我们戆居?又或者到了那个时候大家已经冷漠了。
为什么突然间说到这个?因为之前发生了一个悲剧,一个小孩子因为意外导致全身大部分皮肤受损。当然,通过报章的大事报导,捐款也有如雪花地涌到受害者家属的手上。但是近日发生了一些事情令到受害者家属蒙受千夫所指,据说是因为捐款使用不当的关系。再远一点的,大家应该还记得南亚大海啸的事情吧。虽然全球所筹到的款项有如天文数字,但为何灾区重建的步伐依然如此缓慢?这个世界不是有钱使得鬼推磨的吗?还是鬼推动的只是某达官贵人的收入数字吧?天晓得……
今天不是一月一號,不過本來對這天也沒有太大的感觸所以也不太慶祝。跨年夜的晚上,我甚至到倒數前幾個小時才不是一個人對着跨年演唱會現場直播看煙花。這個晚上,人家單身寡仔怎麼過我也怎麼過。不過近年社交網站大行其道,所以現實世界再孤清也不是什麼無解的問題。只消打開瀏覽器,孤獨感馬上讓虛擬的新年快樂祝辭塞滿。連遠在天邊的親人,虛擬的距離也在瞬間消散若浮雲。
Few days ago, I posted up my response on the e-learning issue as requested by my lecturer. I was quite shocked after found out that not more than 5 people posted their response. Is this a sign showing that even though we are studying computer science, but we still do not appreciate and utilize the internet connection wisely? Or this shows that our e-learning system has some problem because it doesn’t help attracting students to login (in other word, it sucks)?
But then, I am quite impressed that there are people who rely on the internet resources in studying in my course. This is because in my college, we are rely on the lecturer for notes. If a lecturer does not provide notes for photocopying, then he/she will be in trouble when students evaluate him/her during the end of semester. Not many who are really interested finding out more on the subject somewhere else and this is probably why not many logged into the BlackBoard and post their response.
In my response, I pointed out that constant electrical supply is a main factor in order to make e-learning a success. It is quite insulting when we are already used to electricity black-outs even in this so-called “Advanced State”. Besides that, decent broadband coverage is also another important factor because not many residents in Malaysia are able to surf online with the help of broadband. Even one can surf using broadband, if he/she is using Streamyx’s service, then he/she will probably suffer from the constantly service down. Even though there are other ISPs providing broadband connection but they cant provide low cost connection. This is because wired connection that is generally cheaper is already monopolized by Telekom. In order to use other ISPs’ services, we will need to pay more for the hardware because they use wireless technology to deliver broadband connection.
If these problems are left unbothered, then I do not expect E-learning will become a trend in Malaysia.
距離上次玩唱歌,好像已經有一段時間了。後來連結失效,我也輾轉換了幾個空間商。以前錄下來的太委屈,於是也給時代的巨輪給碾成粉末(這藉口超方便的有沒有)。不過快樂的時光過得實在很快,不知不覺幾年後我又莫名其妙挖了個坑給自己跳。所以故事的教訓是——犯賤的人永遠會不斷自己找事情把自己弄瘋(咦?)。
哇,好久没有看完电影那么满足了,不过正确来说,这是一部动画。我在电影院里面简直就是疯掉到不行,原因是真得很好笑,很久没有真的看一部电影从心底从第一幕笑到最后一幕,一个字,爽!两个字,很爽!三个字,非常爽!四个字,爽到不行!五个字,你很无聊吼?之前又看了一篇文章说本集的人物都采用了最滋润的洗发水,果然在看完了后,发觉他们用的洗发水真的是强到不行,尤其是Prince Charming的头发,柔顺到~一个无可比拟的境界。
天,算起来我真的错过了很多想要看的电影!结果终于安排到时间的时候竟然看了这么一部⋯⋯好吧,电影其实拍得不坏,问题主要出在剧本真的写得很糟糕,能拍成这样真的我已经觉得很钦佩了。这部电影就是Jake Gyllenhaal主演的Source Code,虽然叫source code,但是跟coder写的电脑程序源代码完全没有关系。
