终于有点时间写写这部电影的观后感了,如果不是我朋友硬拉我去,我想我大概不会想要看这样的电影吧,毕竟这类电影我一年大概只看一部这样。这部电影名字很直接,就叫做《Bridesmaids》,就一群伴娘的故事,其实说到底故事主要都围绕在Maid of Honor,也就是Annie(Kristen Wiig)的身上。先说说Kristen Wiig这个人吧,从资料看起来他是美国的一个叫Saturday Night Live这似乎是很胡闹的喜剧类综艺节目的其中一个班底,演过的角色似乎很多,其中一个还让一个男生因为模仿她而大红。
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.
我朋友曾经说过一句很惨酷,但是也很现实的话:“在路旁所谓慈善团体如果向我募捐,我是不会睬他们的……”
是的,听起来是很惨酷,但是要知道,现在欺骗所谓善心人士的人、管道实在太多了,多到你必须要三思才能心甘情愿的从钱包掏出你的钱。人说现代人冷漠,其实我们归根到底还是有血有肉的人,稍微煽动一下,还是会发挥自己的同情心的。而且,花少少钱就能够改善人家的生活,有何不好?只是,你又如何确定对方是不是利用你的同情心,来满足他自己的私欲?人类社会越来越进步,骗人的管道越来越层出不穷,甚至你每天吃的,穿的,用的都有可能是人家用来欺骗的用具。后果是彼此互不相信,你欺我骗。
听过这一句话,本来是一种很好的价值观,但是物转星移,到了这个时代却变成了自己变水鱼的一个管道。这句话是如此说的“宁愿帮错人,也不愿miss掉一个”(大意如此)。到了这个行骗可以出动到一个团体行动的世界,却变成了害人害己的最佳良言。害人,是你可能助长别人的犯罪活动。害己,是因为你浪费了金钱。所以,就算我要做善事,我也宁愿储够一笔钱然后把钱捐给我放心得下的机构也不要在街边一点点一点点捐出去。
为了那几个臭钱,有人甘愿冒用宗教的名义到处“化缘”,有人甘愿装聋扮哑,有人愿意出卖自尊,有人愿意去偷人家的小孩,有人愿意强逼一个小孩和他一起行乞,TMD,钱对你们真的如此重要吗?难道除了钱,这些人什么都没有?在这个号称最先进的年代的今日,这一些,都只能很生动的成为“道德沦落”的真人真事。我不敢想象我们的后代有朝一日重温历史时会不会笑我们戆居?又或者到了那个时候大家已经冷漠了。
为什么突然间说到这个?因为之前发生了一个悲剧,一个小孩子因为意外导致全身大部分皮肤受损。当然,通过报章的大事报导,捐款也有如雪花地涌到受害者家属的手上。但是近日发生了一些事情令到受害者家属蒙受千夫所指,据说是因为捐款使用不当的关系。再远一点的,大家应该还记得南亚大海啸的事情吧。虽然全球所筹到的款项有如天文数字,但为何灾区重建的步伐依然如此缓慢?这个世界不是有钱使得鬼推磨的吗?还是鬼推动的只是某达官贵人的收入数字吧?天晓得……
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?
送礼本来就已经不是什么容易的事情,加上现代人衣食充足,使得这门学问更显高深。我不是什么专家,也不是什么神台上的物事,所以关于送礼,个人纯粹是觉得礼物送出去是一份心意(除非我很讨厌对方送一只死青蛙,那就另当别论)。可是从我身边的例子看来,送礼收礼似乎已经在不知不觉(或是在我根本没有察觉,甚至是可能在我不愿相信之下),有了一个完全截然不同的定义。
