从来没觉得时间过得如此之快,仔细回想自己过去9个星期做了什么,感觉上没有什么,但是却一直感到很忙碌,很累,很想放假,不知道为什么。前面的一个月几乎是在丧尸的状态下度过,在这段期间要非常感谢Regina的极力motivate我(虽然没什么效)。接下来的四五个星期,大部分的时间就留给了我的seminar,现在眼见快要完工了,算是本学期到现在完成的最大project之一。说到seminar我本人也感到相当诧异,本来看到requirement说要2300个字,前几天我把差不多完成的seminar翻了一翻才发觉几个星期来我写了4800+字。可是我就是感觉自己好像没写了什么,大部分都是数据和graphs。我的spacing大概放了1.5,可是前几天我翻开我的guideline要求的line-spacing是2.0,如果我放2.0的话,我的supervisor大概不要看了,因为我1.5都已经是60面左右了(脑海刚好浮现上次sam哥讲的一个故事——他大学生涯有个同学讲师要求5面他交50面,很hermione granger吼?)
雖然不是陽光型男,但是我現在還在維持的運動兩個都是在戶外的。其一,就是Ultimate(中文叫極限飛盤的樣子)。過去的差不多整半年的時間,在機緣巧合下認識了教會的一群有在玩的熱血青年這樣。結果的結果,就是這樣以一個不是教友的身份一起玩到現在。會說到這個,可能看文章的朋友們都會有點摸不着頭腦。飛飛碟,教會,這兩者怎麼聽就怎麼跟505大選日沒有什麼關係。這不急,容我娓娓道來(是說好像也沒有必要這麼賣關子)。
沒有爲了某人生一篇文章的習慣,可是不知怎的卻一直想寫一篇給你。有時候我在想,兩年快四個月過去了我們怎麼還在一起。正如你所說過的,我們生命幾乎根本沒有交際。你的工作天天面對人羣,而我對得最多的卻是電腦熒幕上的符號。真的勉強要說有的,大概就是無遠弗屆的虛擬網絡世界。也就是因爲網絡的無邊無際,卻又仿若遠在天邊實則近在眼前的魔力造就了我倆的相遇。
說起淨選盟發動的遊行,我就想起前一次聽到的一些言辭。先說第一段,第一段的主角是兩個在咖啡店高談闊論的安哥。這段對話讓我記住的,只有兩句。當然確切用詞我不可能記得,所以這裏只說大意。簡單來說就是甲問知不知道某日遊行的事情,然後乙回答哎呀就是馬來人打馬來人啦。當然事情的最後跟阿伯的想象很不一樣,但是這是後話。
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.
