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.
今天又去諮商了(替荷包君哭哭),這次是感覺第一次很真實打到痛點。之前兩次的諮商,雖然某程度感覺很隔靴搔癢,但仔細想想如果沒有前兩次的鋪陳,或許今天不一定會那麽impactful(是的我找不到字)。説實在,在離開會談室,我有很長一段時間都在晃神狀態中。腦裏的思緒,打轉的都是以前經驗的一些片段。只是沒想到,自己極力避免的,終究還是切切實實發生了就是。
(more…)很久都没心痛的感觉了(近期内或许有,但是程度似乎不是很强,因为没啥印象),第一次心痛,犹记得是在我小学大概二年级左右的时候发生的事。那时候的我还没搬到目前Subang Jaya的新家,还住在一个Petaling Jaya的组屋二楼。还记得那时候爱心爆棚的我养了两只小乌龟,作为一个称职的小主人,我每天都为它们吃饲料,然后间中还会为他们洗洗居住的环境以及他们的外壳。总之爱它们的程度,不亚于当时刚出世的小妹。因为小孩子嘛,养小宠物当然会是比较紧张的,所以那一阵子我的生活中心可以说是围绕着他们的。很不幸的是,由于我妹的年幼无知,在某一天,我妈竟然告诉我,我的乌龟已经全数被我妹抛下楼了。当时的我心简直像是被人撕碎一般,然后只记得我哭了很久,而且不肯去上课。当然我也下了楼去看看我的乌龟在那里,还记得我似乎是找到他们的外壳碎片(是不是真的不得而知)。这是我第一次最心痛的经验,虽然我和我乌龟的缘分并不持久,但是我是真的把全副的心拿出来去爱它们的。之后也不懂为什么我妈就不太喜欢我养乌龟了,而我直到现在也没养乌龟。间中还有养过一段时间(但不长),之后在我妈的坚持下就送人了……
刚过去的周末,托老天的福,个人有幸去参加一个很波涛汹涌的盛会,而且还是两次。一眼望去,两天的盛会一整片大半数都是美媚(然后另一半就是葛格咯),实在令人目不暇给。先说切题的波波,出了第二天在意外抵达现场没有携带相机外,一整个波涛汹涌的程度实在让人无法不高潮起来。当看着一粒粒披着彩衣的波波一颗一颗地升起,场内外一大片尽是哗(哗哗声喔)然之声(当然我故意忽略快门的声浪),一整个气氛真是不能用兴奋这个词儿来解释就能说清楚的。Anyway,本片仍然多图,请稍微忍耐。
朋友极力推荐这部电影,终于抽空看了后觉得这集聚众大牌的电影的确拍得比想象中好。其实前阵子已经看过了这部电影的海报,就是那张把所有大牌的头像给堆在一起的那张就已经很期待了。期待其实也不一定是集中在剧本上,毕竟类似Ocean Eleven这样的电影是可遇不可求的,进场前其实也只是想看看这对人放在一起会制造出什么样的效果这样。说的,就是最近正在上映的Contagion。
