故事片名叫地球停止转动的那一天The Day the Earth Stood Still,可是电影完全不是在说这一码事,我可以要求refund吗?如果少了Keanu Reeves和Jennifer Connelly恐怕这部电影要成为一部B级的特技灾难片了。其实会看这部电影主要原因是我想看Keanu Reeves,可是后来看到Jennifer Conelly的时候整个人就是有一种賺到的感觉,当然这种感觉维持的时间不长。
上映才一陣子,就看到各大社交網站上的timeline都有人在抱怨身邊朋友泄露劇情,以及過多自命不凡的人試圖“解讀”此片。好在我最近有清掉了其中一個社交網站近一半的朋友,耳根清淨了不說,這種小白目好像也因為這樣消失了(其實本來大概也沒有這樣的朋友*聳肩*)。我也有好一陣子沒去看電影了,距離上一次翻看blog才發現竟然快兩個月沒去了。前陣子朋友跟我聊天的一句話——該不會是因為大雨搗亂了你的生活吧,現在回想起來整個一語成讖(咦?)。嗯,根據標題,這次想說的的確是李安先生導演的——Life of Pi。另外,這裡會大談劇情,所以慎入。
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.
毛问题,真的毛问题(比较歪一点的客家腔调)。是不是粗体的比较有效?我真的没问题!为什么说我没问题,因为实在受够了人家说我是不是有什么问题(不过数数……只有两三个)。小弟真得很谢谢他们在过去的一个星期不间断的透过文字来关心我的心理状况,不过我还是需要重申一句,我真的没问题!为什么不相信我呢?我是如此的乖巧,不善于说谎,天真无邪(这是横尸遍野,不过不关我的事情,绝对无关),我说没有就真的没有事情啦。
拜MalaysianIdol(简称MI)所赐,最近的歌唱比赛都大吹SMS风,仿佛没有SMS就不算是最“公平”的赛果。(AkademiFantasia好像是本地第一个用SMS桥段的歌唱比赛,不过真正让全民为之疯狂的要算是MI了)如果单纯作为一个Show来看,有这样的安排当然无可厚非,但是我认为如果计票的方式更为公平一些,和更为透明化一些,会更好。在我看来,让观众可以无限次投选是一个很白痴的安排,怎么说呢?如果我看了某场比赛,看到大家都唱得很好,那么我每个都去投的话,那么投票还有什么意思?再不然就是恶意灌水,我很喜欢参赛者A,所以我就SMS到天昏地暗,花了一大笔钱才肯甘休。这样一来,和作弊有什么差别?
