人之初,是不是一定性本善?
人的意念,究竟是本性驅使,抑或是後天環境使然?
人說一念天堂,一念地獄那人間又是什麼形式的存在?
這是個晴朗的一天,傾灑在這座城市的陽光在這午後顯得異常的溫柔。一股微風輕輕地撫過,彷彿是想要吹走街上行人心中的煩躁。一部又一部的車輛,此刻還在紅綠燈前蓄勢待發,等著各自前往車子內司機早已訂好的目的地。同樣急著前往目的地的,還有路上永遠熙來攘往的人群。小明趕著下一個約會,小華抱怨著又要多走一趟,同樣的故事,但永遠由不同的人上演著。
六十一分鐘
他看著手上的懷錶,中間大大寫著六十一,秒針則慢慢地順時鐘轉動。中間數字跳到六十的當兒,周遭的一切全部突然像是著了魔般陷入停頓。他抓緊這六十分鐘的機會,再一次不費吹灰之力打開了公司的老闆辦公室。這熟練的程度,也拜這幾個月日復一日的練習所賜。從一開始在這魔幻一小時偷取老闆的鑰匙打模,然後就是不斷練習怎麼快速潛入公司。現在可以五分鐘內抵達保險箱,可是點點滴滴慢慢在這第二十五個小時練熟的。
已经连续第四篇不打算写英文版的,不知道为什么,就是不太想写。好了回归正题,我想大概很多人会问为什么云不散,很简单,云朵是自然现象,散个鬼?所以烟消云不散是绝对正确的,当然我不是再说他原本祖宗——烟消云散的意思,而是最近的烟尘/烟霾/烟雾问题。之前并没有特地写关于烟尘弥漫的原因,是因为大概前一个月为所有的blogpost整理一番的时候,发觉到自己写一些负面情绪的文章较多,所以为了让大家感受到我在现实生活中的那种乐天,就不写了。
說起淨選盟發動的遊行,我就想起前一次聽到的一些言辭。先說第一段,第一段的主角是兩個在咖啡店高談闊論的安哥。這段對話讓我記住的,只有兩句。當然確切用詞我不可能記得,所以這裏只說大意。簡單來說就是甲問知不知道某日遊行的事情,然後乙回答哎呀就是馬來人打馬來人啦。當然事情的最後跟阿伯的想象很不一樣,但是這是後話。
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.
行街故事本来已经告一段落,但是这几天话题仍然很热,出席者依然热血继续分享所见所闻自然不在话下,但没出席的仍然没闲着。没出席的,有些在得知(或事先已经知情我就不知道了)街头上的同胞被催泪弹攻击被水炮车追击,甚至手机讯号受干扰时,就大肆马后炮说自己早有预料早已经警告不要上街游行这不值得云云。另一些,则是在事后不断冷嘲热讽,甚至到最后一票人在网民的舆论压力下出面下跪什么的。
