搞完鐵路，來搞飛機好了
最近心情很是煩躁，常常看着電腦發呆，明明是一堆事情燒到屁股了卻不知道如何下手。今天趁着跟表弟到銀行辦點手續，就繞到了市區的電影院看了這部等了還蠻久的《Flight》。是說Denzel Washington算起來連續幾年上映的電影，都跟公共交通有關。若這是個巧合，這也太過像是電影情節，是說下一部會是船難或……重新拍攝《Speed》系列麼*無誤*？知道這部電影，其實要拜預告片所賜，雖然有在暗示空難不是主要的劇碼，可我真的沒想到空難只有開頭可能才不到一小時的戲而已。

流动网志
记得前几天我说过要考虑转型吗？转型的原因是我觉得自己有点太长气了，今天突发奇想，转型路的方向大概已经决定了，只是要怎样实行，还有一点点的问题需要解决。不过，说是转型大概有点太奇怪，因为我预定的就是开一个新的blog，而这个blog将继续维持现状，所以应该说不上是什么转型吧。新blog会走什么样的路线想必大家应该会很好奇吧，会是podcasting吗？还是图片为主？还是
露宝逗趣影片？又或者是无聊人style的短篇blog呢？ -
E-learning part 2
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.

哭泣的骆驼
不知道为什么最近总是能够接触到一些很感人的故事（其实也不很多，或许最近生活很平静吧），前两天吧看了一部很感人的电影，而今天则看到朋友介绍一则小故事。这位朋友，虽然只有一面之缘，但是总能够在他每次写的文章感受到他细腻的心思。阅读他的文章，往往能够让读者从他的文章延伸出无尽的感想。今天下午，本来是想开电脑播一些音乐听听的，却在我的blog aggregator不小心看到了他的这篇文章，好奇之下，就点了原文来看。原文是三毛小姐的“哑奴”，收录在《哭泣的骆驼》这本应该叫做散文集吧（后来鸡婆去找了找，原来我妈有这本书，准确点来说，应该是我舅舅的藏书，但是前几年他把书送出去的时候，我妈捡了回来，我也捡了一堆卫斯理金庸回来）。

止不住的怒奔
距离上次看电影竟然已经过了快三星期（换句话说，我开始研究生的身份已经有三星期的事情了），今天趁着手上东西还在进度中偷闲赶去了看一场电影（代价是要仍然要把东西给做好）。不知不觉The Taking of Pelham 123已经是去年的电影了，正在写这篇文的时候我还一直以为这是今年的电影呢～会连到这部电影的原因是同样是说列车的故事，不过分别在于Unstoppable是说地面上列车的故事，而Pelham 123是地下铁的故事。更巧合的自然是两部片都由Denzel Washington主演，不过这次拍档不是人称肥尊的John Travolta，而是船长Chris Pine。
