转眼间一月就这样静悄悄的过了,谁知而来的二月则带着农历新年无声无息的到了。整个一月几乎都笼罩在不大不小的压力下,而本blog也仿佛进入了黑暗时期,历经了整个月的posting几乎少于十篇。写不出的原因,其实自很久前已经开始慢慢累积,直到某一天看到靖岚姐的文章更是顿时恍然大悟。这段时间,当然我不是一个如此勤力去思考的人,我还是有意无意的在想,我当初为了什么而blog?为什么到了近期的某一段时间整个文章的tone变得如此哗众取宠,整个文章简直写出来就是给别人看的,这是我当初的本意吗?我不晓得,感觉上参与了博客聚会后我的文章之间有一个分水岭,博客聚前后的整个感觉应该是不同的,这可能要待日后求证。
車子開在街道上,之間兩旁人來人往。在十點鐘的這個晚上,路上一如往常的喧鬧。可是在車裏的他,卻覺得無比的清淨。反正外面發生的所有事情,都是事不關己之事。畢竟怎麼說,那對在路旁吵架的情侶,內容肯定不會圍繞在自己身上。還有那街角賣場的傢伙,唱的也肯定不是關於我的歌。車子就這樣徐徐得跟着前方的車龍駛過,沒有一絲眷戀,更沒有任何的牽掛。一切都是猶如過往雲煙,沒有絲毫留戀的需要。
无惊无险,又到了四月。当然对很多人来说,这个月最多也不过意味着第二季度的开端。不过在个人而言,或许对我父母亲来说(有吗?)有异于其他人的意义。說穿了今天其实就是本人的生日啦,除了我和家人外实在没什么特别的意义。跟往年一样,今天没有特别安排怎么庆祝。写这篇文章的当儿,本人很鲁蛇地刚刚下班在小贩中心找对面小白(谁?)吹水吃晚餐。
不知不觉我在网络上也写了快五年多的文章,老实说,会写得那么久大概从来没预料过。嗯,这两天不知道为什么,本来以为开始研究生生活后作息就回复正常,可是这两天却无可救药的失眠了。在写这篇的时候其实刚很疲倦地看完了《挪威的森林》第一册(嗯,我的指导教授和老板如果会看中文看到这段应该想杀死我)。本来期待着会来的睡意,就是偏偏不来,你吹咩?!
前几天我从我为了找一本书而去书架上浏览了一下,发觉到一本我阿姨送我的一本书到现在还没认真看过……书的题目是Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff for Teens。过于自信的我当时还以为这本书我还会冷藏很久,不过看来这个黑暗的星期天让我打消了这个念头。不知道为什么,看到了一个自称“从第三者口中认识我的人”给我的留言后,让我的怒气从四方一下子窜出来。我还记得我今天早上发blog的时候手还是愤怒地颤抖着的,当然现在心情已经恢复得相当平静了(希望不是我的自我感觉良好吧)。
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.
