这是一则告假启示,大家请不要太感触,我是会回来大马的!我将会离开大约两个星期,度过一个差不多接近没有网络的两个星期。这段时间,我必须得事先声明,我没有办法去moderate所有的comment,所以如果有人发什么特别的comment,就但愿让雷公电母跟他翻云覆雨——被劈死。这次出游,将会是本少爷有生之年(到目前为止)去到最远的地方,也是本少爷第一次不是在家人的陪同下,去到这么山卡啦远的国度。希望随着这个旅途,个人颓废已久的心能够找到一个突破点。至于观赏古迹什么什么的,个人倒不是十分非常地在意,嘿嘿(觉得随行的Emily会杀死我)。这次的行程将会是个男女男的经典哺士组合,而同行的Emily是唯一一个人是其他两个人的,充满未知数的旅程,高潮连连,千万不可错失两个星期后开始连载的游记(没办法,两个星期后这里一定冷飕飕,不做点促销是不行的,blog界难混啊~)!
这几天如果有看报纸的话,除了巫族同胞外应该会有点觉得可笑。但是这种可笑却是那种带有心寒的笑,或者是苦笑,但不是苦尽甘来的笑。是什么新闻呢?我可以很确定告诉你,不是炸尸案。你不可能没有注意到这个新闻的,因为篇幅实在太大,或者可以说是举国注目的焦点。我不要告诉你是那一则,你要知道可以找朋友问问这几天报纸上有什么新闻。当然这样严肃的东西我很少会去写,在这里只是提提罢了。
之前也說過了,雖然現在不是Pemantau身份,但是還是會盡量讓自己投下的一票是個informed choice。為了確保自己投下的一票不止是情緒化的結果,所以還是決定盡量去各候選人的政治演說。其實說每個有點心虛,因為我一直都沒有打算把機會給獨立人士(不好意思)。無論如何,話說回來結論就是我會盡量在這個星期出席國陣和民聯兩大陣營候選人的公開言說活動就是。其實昨天州議員有一場因為真的不知道在什麼地方,而且看地址似乎不是什麼公開的場合就沒去。
(more…)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.
