海边的情人节
“让我们玩一个游戏，这个海边这么多人，我们这里有10个人，每一个人去拿一个异性的电话号码，拿不到的待会要接受处罚……”
他很兴奋的对着一起出来旅行且单身的朋友提议，在海风习习的关仔角，在农历正月十五的晚上。放眼望去，整个海边挤满了人，烟火和小贩的叫卖声源源不绝，小孩天真地到处窜，总之整个海边充满着欢乐的气氛。这一行十个人，因为旅行而在上课之外的时间相聚在一块，也因为找不到路去看人家抛柑所以留在海边吹咸咸的海风。顺便过过在巴生谷没什么机会体会到的元宵节。

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.

還有多遙遠的回家之路？
我必須承認我對事情很多時候都不是很上心，所以對一些社區保育活動一直都沒有很熱衷。頂多也不過是去參與湊個熱鬧，畢竟有時候人數也是很關鍵的。所以我的態度，應該算是介乎與關心跟不關心之間搖擺不定。可是這類的活動去過幾次，就算再不上心，再不在乎都好，始終在心裏還是會留下印記。就拿前幾天在各大社區網站，甚至在各大傳媒看到蘇丹街樂安酒店就這樣走完了最後的日子心裏還是不好過的。

我们是不是太过kiasi？
上了advanced diploma后，和diploma的学习生活相比，最大的分别是我们的参与感加重了。可是很有趣的现象时，每当我们的lecturer在课堂上发出问题寻求学生的答复的时候，她/他能等到的却只是沉默的空气。有一次，我们的psychology讲师甚至一针见血地说出：“你们根本不是humble（谦虚），而是kiasi（怕死）”。回想我以前的学习日子，从小学到中学，印象中我根本没有很多的机会在很多人面前表达自己的机会。我甚至还记得我在中学的第一次presentation甚至是一个failure……

套套吹波波
中文圈子的男藝人，有一陣子很愛吹噓自己是什麼大鳥俠。說起這話題的時候，這些人好一些都莫不欣喜。如此這般的表現，像是在告訴世人生殖器很大是種天賦異稟。講得一副好象是有這麼大的時候，無論是異性（甚至同性）都會趨之若鶩一樣。好吧某程度當然也是真的，但是另一助力大概就是他們頭上的明星光環。可是當一個長相普通的路人甲乙丙丁，也有同樣的條件時其實會是怎樣的呢？
