也不知道怎么形容这个时候的感觉,因为现在杂乱的书桌上现在堆积的是我将要送出去的五本短篇集hardcopy。因为不是要出版,也不是要投稿,所以五本copies都是非常不专业的自己写,朋友帮忙校对,一直到自己排版然后送印和装订。成果出来虽然还是很简陋的样子,可是拿在手上仍然是很爽的!
上一次午餐聚会的时候阴公船夫(义俊)哥问起我的近况,还记得那个时候我给了他一个苦笑说我在办公室内几乎无时无刻都在忙(除了偶尔真的写到不知道怎么继续去看资料)。当时后的他说了一句话,听起来很让人哭笑不得——“忙是好事,要你游手好闲在office里面摇摇晃晃那才可怕”。深想一层,游手好闲,还要是在office还真的满恐怖的。
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.
今天在朋友家体验了蛇虫鼠蚁痛苦中的感觉,原因是朋友家来了一位野蛮人杀虫专家要求喷杀虫剂。虽然我朋友之前已经明言拒绝,但是这次他的口吻活像野蛮人。虽然全个block喷了唯独你不喷好像不好意思,但是凭什么一定要“帮亲”你这家不知道什么公司的pest control咧?而且他摆的姿态分明是你不喷我要你好看的样子,看到都想dui一拳过去。
继上次的蝴蝶公园Bokeh之旅后,这一次要拍的主题是新年。原本小弟是提议东禅寺的,只是没有预料到东禅寺迟到此篇的前一天才开始亮灯就只好改成吉隆坡的地标庙宇——天后宫。这一次同行的好象比较多人,计有我、向希、幽子、Sam、升杰、船夫和林彦(唯独没有在blog挂自己domain name的blogger)。在经过重重折腾之后,抵达东禅寺的时候竟然欣然发觉自己不是最迟的混蛋(顺带把其他人也叫成混蛋了,我好像是趁机吃人家豆腐的感觉……),善哉善哉。好了,话不多说,接下来有爆多图片,请慢慢忍住会被刺激到狂呕的感觉慢慢看下去。
