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.

e-learning?
Recently our English for Science unit’s lecturer posted an issue about e-learning at the college’s “e-learning” system (which is actually a blackBoard Learning System that is also used by many other colleges) and we are required to write a response to that issue. She also provided a link to a page that clearly explains about “e-learning”. Until now, I have really no idea on this issue since I am still reading that webpage while I am posting this.
If only looking at my college’s so called “e-learning” system, I really don’t like it much because it is not as useful as I expected. Blackboard Learning System is no doubt a good system handling “e-learning” things but it is not being well used at my college. I myself prefer looking for information at another websites rather than the e-learning system because there are almost nothing provided by our lecturer through the system except for some lecture notes / tutorial questions / assignment questions etc. I have a friend studying at another college and I heard from him that he can get a lot more things through their college BlackBoard System besides notes / assignments etc. And the participation of his lecturer is much better compared to my college. I found that sometimes it is very rare to see any lecturer to join in our discussion in the discussion board and probably this is why Blackboard System is not popular in my college.
But these are only some problems that only occur in my college, and this doesn’t mean that they will happen in other colleges as well. Therefore these cannot be the only points in my response to the issue, *sigh*. Now I would need to start thinking what to write and post them this Friday since I do not have much spare time because the units I took in this semester are quite tough (at least 4 credit hours) and I am definitely don’t wish the same thing happened as the “Introductory to Discrete Mathematics” unit last semester.

超人回归
说了好几个星期，终于还是看了这部很多人期待已久的电影了！电影拍得还不错，至少娱乐性要比同样是万众瞩目的达文西密码更为来得有趣。这部电影，很多人说是爱情片，但是在我看来，除此之外，亲情这一部分来得更为重要。从一开始超人回归的时候，我们就能感受到浓浓的亲情。虽然不是亲生的母子关系，但是ClarkKent和他养母的关系似乎真的和真的没有两样。

三年后的末日
托旨祥’师兄的福，小弟昨晚有幸能够出席当今大马包下电影院呈现的《2012》，随行的还有升杰（也是师兄）和Mea姐，不过因为同时间某电台也在办类似的活动的关系，所以我也在现场看到了我在摄影人的同学和一些电台DJ，更巧合的是，我还碰见了夏娃couple和
很死市侩的宁霄姐，更不用提文员在事后告诉我他也在现场wo~。好啦，碰到熟人游戏就到此为止，事实上这算是我第一次踏入电影院看灾难片，而且算起来我好像也没有太多看灾难片的关系。不晓得是为了什么，可能是我个人觉得灾难片大概都脱逃不了一个既定的模式吧？！ -
要两代这么沉重咩？
因为有惊无险（因为她的小孩三不五时给她麻烦）把她的孩子养到这个时候还没有互相被气死、杀死甚至毒死，所以我妈最近似乎变了什么两代专家（虽然她的儿子给于的评价是她口不对心啦）。说了这么多，其实重点还是主题所说的，需要让现在的孩子那么死沉重咩？孩子这份工作，从来都不是好当的，而且随着时代的进步（还是倒退？），而变得越来越辛苦（工钱也未见呈直接对比）。很现实？太幸福？这都是要看看官用什么角度思索这个问题。
