跳坑進行了數月,這幾個星期已經有幾位戰友快寫無可寫了。於是,有人就開始出來呼籲說是不是能出個命題作文之類的活動。想想其實設立了題目也沒關係,所以自幾個星期前開始就嘗試在跳坑戰友的幫忙下每星期出一個題目。延續這活動的歡樂元素,雖然說是“命題”,但是其實也從來沒強迫說參與者一定要寫。不寫其實也沒關係,反正雖然我揪跳人偶爾會出題,也不見得有那個時間和篇幅寫出來。
相信很多人聽過華盛頓怒砍櫻花樹的故事,如果沒有,且讓筆者為你的童年表示默哀。雖然真實性成迷,但是這流傳至今的小故事卻教育了世世代代的人誠實的偉大。其實故事很簡單,就華盛頓某日收到斧頭做生日禮物(是說這禮物也太歡樂,是要鼓勵跳斧頭幫的舞蹈麼?)。就一天為了測試斧頭多鋒利,就拿了家裡種的一棵櫻桃樹開刀。結果樹倒了,盛怒之下的父親因為兒子的坦白選擇了原諒這樣。聽起來還真是個溫馨的故事呢,或許原諒出自於當時對質時華盛頓拿着那個斧頭吧漫出來的愛和憐惜吧?
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?!
我忘了是凌晨还是昨天耶,当韩士提到某国的春节联欢晚会和本地直播节目的对比的时候,我才想起我是有想要写一写的。新年真的是一个超级无敌无聊的节日,当然主要是因为我是没有家乡可以回的小孩,过年对我这年纪的人唯一能做的就是看电视(虽然当晚是有带mac下去)。可是电视上说真的能看的东西不多,唯一看得出来比较花心思的就是刚才说的某国的春节联欢晚会。
一直都不认为自己很爱,但是身边却已经有不少人说过我很爱,我真的很爱咩?至少我自己没有这样的感觉咯。最近的一次,就是从幽子姐的手中出来的(没见过面,只见过她的文字)。话说幽子姐刚刚重唱了她的版本的ISP版太委屈,结果出来的效果,或者说里面的一段真的不是普通的爱,爱到那种程度,我只能够说,有多爱,要你自己听过才知道。或许有一天,她会是其中一个踏入podcast这个领域的blogger……
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.
