马来西亚不愧是所谓的盗版天堂,连翻版书本也能够堂而皇之地登上书展现场。而且,还吸引了一群人去购买这才“吃力”(jia lak)。
今天大概十一点多,熟睡中的我被吵醒,我以为老妈子要去另一个国际书展(当然,本文不提这个),所以就快手快脚梳洗换衣服咯。谁不知,上了车老妈子才说是去吉隆坡中华大会堂的书展,晕啊……因为去年已经去过的关系,所以对那边的书展并没有什么好感,翻版书买得过咩?没办法,贼船已经上了,唯有安安分分地到达(盗版)书展咯。
和往年一样,现场所见几乎全部都是翻版的书籍(因为很多中国书的发行商,所以只有一些中国出版的是正版),尤其是港台版的(电脑书籍除外)。本来看了一两本合意的,但是想想还是买不下手。这就算了,午餐后,我们一行人(除了我和家人,还有我一些亲戚)到附近的茨场街(闻名的盗版街)去走走,因为想找找看有没有好的背包。结果还是不出我所料,放眼看去全部都是差不多同样的东西,而且看来都是假的……此外,整条街乌烟瘴气,并且盗版光碟小贩堂堂皇皇地把自己的货色摆卖出来,很明显看得出茨场街的美化带来了很多生意给他们。唉,这样子就过了半天,什么都没做到……
自问自己连边边也摸不上,就算摸上了,我也宁愿做个平凡的学生。可是偏偏有很多人在我的生命旅程中用过这个名词叫过我,虽然还不至于把这个名称当作代名词称呼,但是渐渐地我开始越来越不喜欢人家这样叫我。我真的有点担心那一天这个名词成了我的另外一个名字,或者我沉溺在这个名词,越沉越深。对这个名词的反感在这两个学期越来越强烈,有时候某些同学就直接”Top Student Top Student”这样叫。不应嘛,人家就难免觉得你在骄傲什么,应嘛,自己却觉得自己很不要脸。
因为欲罢不能,所以还想写多一些。这次写写我对几位主要角色的一些感觉,因为过了今天我才发觉原来这部电影带来的impact是如此之深。怎么说呢,就是今天跟朋友的聊天我都会有意无意的提起这部电影,真的很难想象本来我是打算不看这部电影的。还好自己真的没有这么做,不然肯定会真的锤心肝到死掉为止(公益广告:不要对正常人作心外压,分分钟会杀死人)。好啦,如果你还没看到之前的文章,可以先点击这里。
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.
之前也說過了,雖然現在不是Pemantau身份,但是還是會盡量讓自己投下的一票是個informed choice。為了確保自己投下的一票不止是情緒化的結果,所以還是決定盡量去各候選人的政治演說。其實說每個有點心虛,因為我一直都沒有打算把機會給獨立人士(不好意思)。無論如何,話說回來結論就是我會盡量在這個星期出席國陣和民聯兩大陣營候選人的公開言說活動就是。其實昨天州議員有一場因為真的不知道在什麼地方,而且看地址似乎不是什麼公開的場合就沒去。
