虽然在网络上,看到Avatar这个字眼我们都会下意识link到所谓的大头照或头像,不过同一个字在这部电影应该叫个什么替身或是什么的比较贴切吧?不过老实说,看完了,一整个会觉得之前Bruce Willis打到要死的Surrogates完全是超级小成本制作。不过特效人人都能做,这在现今这个时代已经是有钱就能办到的东西还是说说就算了,回到最重要的点,自然是故事本身。简单来说,这是一部大体上来看类似《无间道》的电影。不过如果这样说,这部电影……或者应该说很多电影都是集天下之大全(难听点叫天下文章一大抄,不过抄袭这个issue最近很敏感,我选择另一个说法),基本上这部电影就是The Matrix、Pocahontas、Surrogates、无间道、Harry Potter、The Lord of the Rings等等电影的综合体。
“大哥哥,樂樂在這呢,快來吧!”
Recently our English for Science unit’s lecturer posted an issue about e-learning at the college’s “e-learning” system (which is actually a blackBoard Learning System that is also used by many other colleges) and we are required to write a response to that issue. She also provided a link to a page that clearly explains about “e-learning”. Until now, I have really no idea on this issue since I am still reading that webpage while I am posting this.
If only looking at my college’s so called “e-learning” system, I really don’t like it much because it is not as useful as I expected. Blackboard Learning System is no doubt a good system handling “e-learning” things but it is not being well used at my college. I myself prefer looking for information at another websites rather than the e-learning system because there are almost nothing provided by our lecturer through the system except for some lecture notes / tutorial questions / assignment questions etc. I have a friend studying at another college and I heard from him that he can get a lot more things through their college BlackBoard System besides notes / assignments etc. And the participation of his lecturer is much better compared to my college. I found that sometimes it is very rare to see any lecturer to join in our discussion in the discussion board and probably this is why Blackboard System is not popular in my college.
But these are only some problems that only occur in my college, and this doesn’t mean that they will happen in other colleges as well. Therefore these cannot be the only points in my response to the issue, *sigh*. Now I would need to start thinking what to write and post them this Friday since I do not have much spare time because the units I took in this semester are quite tough (at least 4 credit hours) and I am definitely don’t wish the same thing happened as the “Introductory to Discrete Mathematics” unit last semester.
看了标题请不要忙着打我,这篇的确还(是不是下一篇很难说,不过第一天的游记照片大致上已经ready)不是游记。本来早就该发这一篇当作是报平安的一篇文章,可是却拖到现在,大概也失去报平安的那种意义。这几天忙着再次适应上课的日子,然后接下来就是清掉一屁股的工作,比如说我的project,老豆的一大堆document work,一大堆的tutorial功课等等。最夸张的是回来后的第二天,因为我的闹钟(也就是我的手机)忘记把时区调回来,所以醒来的时候已经是相当迟了,人还懵懵懂懂的不知道为什么事件好像有点不对劲(所以有一段时间我的msn是“明明是那么迫不及待离开,但是时间观却被柬埔寨彻底俘虏”)。
怎么说花果山呢?因为最近blogger都被说是花果山里的猴子大爷(让我有机会找一天回学院专程拍猴子给大家看),结果胡叔叔他老人家一气之下,把自己的blog的定位,变成个人网站。愤怒的当然不只是他老人家,还有大大佬,靓仔KK,电视机幽子等等。所以为了顺应潮流,我在考虑把本blog的名字改成拼凑花果山让大家都以为马来西亚blogger都好像猴子一样活跃活蹦乱跳,这乃是好事一桩,而且正值国庆,也算得上是本国教育制度的一个里程碑——成功培育一大堆在网络大放厥词的猴子但是还没有能力培育一群能够明辨是非的人类。
前几天在电台听到一个目前很应景的潮流语言-那就是所谓的Y.E.S = Year End Sales。是的不错,上星期我是去了大众书局的年终大倾销。不要怀疑,经过了上次吉隆坡书展的呕血经验后,不怕死的我还是踏上了这条不归路……开玩笑啦,本来是不打算去书展的啦,因为……不知者不罪咯。哈哈哈。
不过这个书展如果拿来和那个吉隆坡书展来相比,我的感觉是,吉隆坡那个也算书展的话,那么也未免太贬低书展这个词儿了。哈哈哈……在这里,书本的价廉物美不在话下,也造成很多人来争相采购(当然啦,正版书籍和音乐专辑相比的话,我宁愿把钱花在音乐专辑,因为书本的价格实在高得离谱……)。中文部的部分一眼望去,都是三四十巴仙以上的折扣……当然要找到你想要的书是要费一点时间……
好了,我看到这样的价钱当然行动的不得了,本来是打算买Dan Brown让他一鸣惊人的The Da Vinci Code的,但是看到中译本和英文原著价钱相差一倍有多,让我决定买下中译本,因为还是价钱比较便宜的关系。
走到CD部门更加劲爆,虽然展出的专辑都是比较有点年份的专辑,但是最便宜的价钱竟然跌到5令吉一片……哇,既然大众要这么亏本,我也不好意思拒绝,成全他们吧,咔咔咔!本来是想找陈奕迅早期,在不然张智成名字专辑的CD版,可是翻了一遍后还是找不到,而我又没这样的好眼力再翻一遍(展出的专辑以至少百量计),正打算放弃的时候……竟然给我无意间看到陶吉吉的首张专辑,哇,拾到宝,再看标价,才9.90啊!!!不卖就真的走宝了!
这个星期,因为上次意犹未尽,所以再去到书展看看会不会那么幸运找到我要的专辑……这次我的目标放更广泛一些,要找的除了陈奕迅张智成,还有CraigDavid,陶吉吉第二和第三张,结果还是杠龟……不过,意外给我找到Tension的第二和第三张专辑……合计10令吉……哇,又拾到宝,算是这次失利中小小的惊喜吧……哈哈哈。
两次疯狂购物的战利品……
1。Digital Fortress中译本-Dan Brown (如果很精彩考虑买原著)
2。The Da Vinci Code中译本-Dan Brown(如果很精彩考虑买原著)
3。Google成功的七堂课-AndrewLo
4。陶吉吉-I’m OK
5。Tension – Gotta Be Your Man
6。Tension – 爱。星球
还有因为得到10令吉折价券,我还买了哈里波特第一本-神秘的魔法石(Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone – JK Rowling)。其他已出版的五本,还是等我消化完手上所有的书本后再打算吧。
