2016年對於我來說,是個思維不斷受到挑戰的年份。觸發的點,可以是一件(或一連串)事情,也可以是一樣東西。本來是想說在一篇內寫完,但上一篇寫到最後發現我塞不下另一個課題了。於是我把今天要說的,分出另一篇文章來。今天要說的,是某國(或者一個地域,視乎從什麼角度看這塊土地)準備要修法通過同性婚姻的事情。
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.
本來這篇文章,是寫關於電影『香港仔』的觀後感。本來文章的發佈時間,應該是三個星期前的這幾天。可是身邊的一切事情,就在那幾天接踵而來。結果的結果,一直到兩個星期前才逐一告一段落。雖然其中還有一單還沒正式完結,但是大概也不會再出什麼意外了。在處理這些事情的當而,或許是我第一次感覺到四年就這樣咻一聲悄然過去。在不知不覺間,無聲無息,理不得我經過多少快樂悲傷就這樣來到了今天。
最近心情很是煩躁,常常看着電腦發呆,明明是一堆事情燒到屁股了卻不知道如何下手。今天趁着跟表弟到銀行辦點手續,就繞到了市區的電影院看了這部等了還蠻久的《Flight》。是說Denzel Washington算起來連續幾年上映的電影,都跟公共交通有關。若這是個巧合,這也太過像是電影情節,是說下一部會是船難或……重新拍攝《Speed》系列麼*無誤*?知道這部電影,其實要拜預告片所賜,雖然有在暗示空難不是主要的劇碼,可我真的沒想到空難只有開頭可能才不到一小時的戲而已。
這是個近乎密閉的空間,室內唯一的光源,就是那道門裡的小窗口透過來的。男人蹲坐在角落,眼神呆滯地看著那小小的窗口。此刻他的臉上已經沒有了任何的表情,那道光自然也變得全無意義。除去一片白色,這背後卻也不見有任何的什麼。我在這裡多久了,多少天,多少小時,多少分鐘?外頭還會不會有人,還在關心這樣的一個自己。
『你不知道現在什麼時候了嗎?那麼不想回家,那乾脆明天晚餐才回來啦!』
只不過是放學時幫同學處理一些事情遲了回家,才一開門人還沒進去責備就來了。這劈頭就來語帶諷刺冷冰冰的責備,快得叫人連辯解的餘地都沒有。才搬過來父親的住處兩個星期,本來還以為從此可以更自有一點。誰知道這裡的規例更多。首先的第一條,就是放學就得馬上回家,哪兒都不能去。本來還以為這只是說著玩的規定,誰知道小一歲的弟弟也是每天準時在阿姨的陪伴下半小時內到家。
