研究生第二个月
经过了堪称欢乐的第一个月后，迎接我的竟然是充满挫折感的第二个月。刚过去的整个月，我几乎每天都在挤破脑汁尝试了解很多以前从来没想过会接触，甚至知道了也不会主动接触的一些东西。主要的原因，是因为我并没有很喜欢统计学啦，勉强说的上喜欢的，只有算出或然率的那几课，只是经过了两年后，全部忘光光了就是。

渐失的年味
前阵子出席吉安的年味专辑推荐礼时因为错估交通状况的关系，结果早了一个小时半左右。可是也因为自己早到的关系，所以本来是纯粹想做做观众变成了站在柜台后帮助有文和Rachel把首卖的专辑卖出去这样。其实这阵子自己是有点很糟糕的游魂，所以希望没有出什么大岔子吧，呵。不过总得来说，站在柜台后的确是个很难得的经验，因为做观众可能也没那个耐心去听很多人的演说。

生命与附赠的遗憾
今天看到一则据说快四千字的suicide note（本文和链接内的遗书文调沉重，请慎阅），虽然说一早起来看到这样的东西怎么说也不是什么快乐的事情，不过事情既然发生了，也没什么能做了。至于为什么会特地为之写一点什么，而不先优先处理我的研究生活已经满2周月或吉安的年味专辑？主要的还是那张suicide note。

樂觀地腳踏七色彩雲出門去
我總覺得我們馬來西亞人好樂觀，好天真，好傻。某日報章頭條四單劫案，我們還要強顏歡笑說：『哎呀，幻覺嚟嘅啫』。出門還要左顧右盼顧好自己的包包，也只能說：『哎呀，訓練警覺嘛』。跟友人在街邊吃飯喝茶背包還要抱在身前，『哎呀，當作運動咯』。女生夜晚不敢，喔現在男生隻身一人也不敢獨自走在街上，『哎呀，提醒我們要珍惜友人啊』。獨自開車上路，連背包也要放在外人伸手不易接觸之地，『哎呀，怕曬到落色咯』。

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.

空·漂
不知道是我太久沒看3D，還是IMAX 3D其實就是比較貴一點，這應該算是我看過最貴的電影（接近同樣的價錢我看了一次Avatar 3D跟2D版）。不過可惜的是，不知道是不是幻覺，我記得上次去看BTS的IMAX是大很多很多很多的（這次是在1U看的）。除去熒幕「感覺」有點小外，其實視覺上甚至聽覺上有算值回票價啦。或許我不太喜歡首周去看電影，所以太少機會碰到THX以上設備的放映廳的關係，所以偶爾有機會去到有驚喜。

是芥末日
是個清晨，一個天空飄著綿綿細雨的清晨。
從輕快鐵看出去，那面玻璃窗佈滿了一滴滴的水珠。外頭的景色，亦隨列車的行進快速移動。呆坐在裡頭望出去，就好像看著一副永遠轉不回起點的走馬燈一樣。那是個週末的早晨，穿正裝上班的人本來就不多。也不懂是不是剛剛的那一場大雨，在列車裡感覺搭車的人好像太少了一些。乘客數量不多，於是乎大家都坐得很鬆散。對比起平日的熙熙攘攘，今天似乎不見多少人站立。

跨年即失業的解脫手札
其實應該很早寫這篇文章，但放在跨年文之後會覺得很諷刺。要說意外也不然，但在第一個上班日收到裁退消息還是有點錯愕。但錯愕歸錯愕，過後全程其實也沒什麼太多的情緒起伏，真的要說我還頗為relieved的。在老闆火急火燎跟我聊後（其實他元旦日就要跟我約談，但我當天沒看工作訊息，隔天在他約定好前一小時才看到），甚至過幾天我跟上司例常每週的討論感覺都一樣……
