Sometimes things makes me wonder why am I taking this “Computer Science” course where it is actually a course to teach you how to write programs. I actually expected something like how computer works in detail not programming in DEF language that is popular in demand in local business market. These few days some incidents or I shall say an article makes me think again whether my decision to take this course is a good decision. The article was recommended by my lecturer who lectures us in a subject/unit named “Internet Programming” which should be renamed as “Writting ASP.NET Websites With C#”. Although I find the unit not as interesting as I expected (because most of the things covered in the syllabus are covered again and again in some other subjects/units I took in previous semesters. It is still an interesting subject anyway, considering we have a better image of the .NET framework.)
今天午饭时间,我一个从槟城来的同学问了一句让我一时间不知道如何回答他的问题。“Jeff啊,涅,在KL一对情侣是不是不能搂搂抱抱的?!?”。换做是五年前的我,我会给他这个反应——(=.=|||)。可是今时不同往日,因为就在几年前,好像是去年,我们无所不能的bolehland国土上就出现了一对情侣手拉手接获传票的新闻。而且新闻还闹大到国际媒体上,让全世界的焦点都放在这一宗发生在号称文明国土上的“罪案”。所以,除了短暂的茫然,我不能给他什么更好的解释。
一直觉得,这部电影探讨的不是潜意识的操作,而是梦境和实境的conflict。Christopher Nolan终于回到The Prestige式的叙述模式(which我很喜欢的),只是这次跳跃的不是时间这么简单,而且还有梦境的层次(空间的跳跃),所以感觉就是好像从二维迈向三维跳跃的感觉。时间跳跃前进不是个容易掌控的技巧,更不用说再加上空间的跳跃(同时间跳跃4-5个不同的空间,记得吗?)。
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。
那是個小小的盒子,她好奇地用指關節敲了一下,咚咚聲聽起來像是木製。除了那層經歷歲月磨得發亮的黑漆面表層,不見其他任何裝飾,也不見任何多餘雕花。雖然看起來小巧,可不知怎的卻有點沉甸。女兒不解地看著媽媽,似乎在疑惑這到底有啥好支開所有人才能托付。
