Stop Spamming Me
Please stop spamming my blog, I do not need any medicine/health product/whateva crap at the moment. Thanks a lot for your concern, but my blog is just simply not ready for such advertising comments. So, please stop spamming my blog again!!! You wouldn’t want me to get angry….
There has been a long time since I blog in english, but then I really hoped that I do not need to stress on this (anti-spamming) twice in either mandarin or english anymore (SPAM AND SPAMMERS
SUX, OK… maybe I should “act innocent” and stop using foul words). Unforturnately, as long as there is a spammer, I would have to keep asking them for not spamming me, what crap? This is so not logic, eh.. a bit off-topic liao… -
Assignments, assignments….
I got so impressed after looking at my friend’s assignment interface. It was simply just tooooooo nice. Therefore, me and my group members agreed to decorate our assignment a bit. Besides that, since we started using MDI, then the whole structure has to be revised.
We have added a navigation menu, so that the bar up there doesn’t look too plain (what an excuse). Then we added in some shortcut button suggested by one of my group members. We have also removed our so-called “logo”, since it was not so nice. And lastly, almost all buttons are now with icons so that user can see them clearly (hehehe).
Our system is usable at the moment as long as u do not key in the wrong thing (like you enter letters when you are asked to enter numeric) because we do not have time to do complete validation. We expect all the validation will be done at the time we submit our assignment though. Below are some of the screenshots taken from my assignment project.

很气！Very Angry….
他奶奶的，同样的东西竟然要我重复三四次，本来心情甚美的我一下子跌落谷底。
是这样的，因为我表弟屡次投诉很多程序装不下，所以我建议他重灌系统。好了，因为不想浪费时间做在那边教他我就把一些方法告诉了他。之后安装后的东西我再想办法和他联络。之后联络的过程很不顺利，由于我们俩都在硬体防火墙后面，所以用不上一些简单的远程控制程序。高了接近两小时后，我妥协了，叫他自己安装MSN Messenger，虽不致这么简单的程序他竟然摸了整个小时还没摸到如何使用。恰巧自己也不使用官方的client，无奈之下只好要他找表妹恶补。
好了，耗了大半天，终于能通讯上了，于是我用文字很仔细把步骤列出来，要他跟着步骤走，因为不是第一次，所以有了这么多经验我并不担心他跟不上。谁不知，他真的跟不上，同样的instruction于是重复了三四次。他奶奶的，就这样我没有了一整天的时间。晕倒啊，现在的我真的一寸光阴一寸金啊！！！而且，今天也爆了我的纪录，当然我是那种不说粗口的人（可是我写），但是今天打出来的粗口我想是我之前所写过的粗口数量总和。我气到简直是到达那种每一句话都夹杂着粗口透过msn这样传送到他那边去。天啊，保佑我不要再见到这种人。
I was extremely angry just now because my cousin made me repeated the same instruction for 3-4 times. Because of his sistem not performing well lately, therefore I recommended him to reformat the system and switch to a newer OS. Since I am quite busy these days, therefore I just gave him some instruction on how to start the installation. After that, I went back home.
After he managed to installed the whole OS, then we faced difficulties in contacting each other using netmeeting and remote controlling program. I didn’t know much about that problem but I think the router we installed are causing the problems (both of us are using a router). Then we settled the problem by switching to MSN, but then he couldn’t figure out how to use that s/w. Since I stopped using MSN official client for quite a long time, therefore I asked him to seek advice from my cousin. OK, after around half an hour he was finally able to communicate via MSN network, but then telling him to do one thing caused me to repeat the SAME instruction for 3-4 times. And I get extremely annoyed and started sending very rude word thru MSN to him. hehe…. I really hope that I do not have to deal with this kind of ppl anymore…

Today’s presentation
Wahaha, the presentation was just going fine just that our group has missed some feature that is suppose to be ready as mentioned in our proposal. Besides that, our lecturer also required us to prepare some new modules in order to make the system more complete. However, since we havn’t learn anything about MDI yet I think I will just wait until all three of us master that chapter then only we start our second version.
Our group are quite fortunate since there are not much problems occur during our presentation. The group after us keep facing technical problems and this helped the last group because they have another week to prepare for this presentation. However, if I were them I will feel a bit dissapointed. Hohoho.

VB Prototype…..
Just spent half a day finishing the interface for my group’s system – library system. And since we couldnt come out with a name that is interesting, so we just simply name the system as “Up2U Library System”, sounds dumb ho…?
Showing above is the main screen interface for our system. The system is separated into 3 parts with 2 modules each. I am in charge of the administration part of the system. Following is one of the screens for my module.
Look dumb huh… Basically, since MDI is not yet taught by the lecturer and I am really to busy to learn that in advance, so I link all the interfaces with “Unload” and “Load” commands. Therefore there is nothing really special about our system. Probably after learning MDI in the coming weeks then I will convert the whole system to MDI, hehehe.

E-learning part 2
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.

e-learning?
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.

I’m so touched
Wahaha, after trying for 4 times, finally we get our (our group) DFD diagram 0 correct, phew~. Basically, today I spent the whole day (and I’m still doing) doing DFD. I wonder whether I will get fed up with DFD later. Today we heard some bad news from our lecturers. That is most probably we will have some replacement classes on Saturdays. This is why I don’t feel happy whenever a lecturer is on leave. Why do I (mebbe the whole class) hate Saturday classes? This is because normally we do not have class on Saturday (But we have to stay in college for quite a long time, and mostly break between classes).
Besides that, we are also required to prepare for 2 presentations for week 11-12 that is not more than 3 weeks from now. The problem now is most of our time is occupied with case study assignments. I wonder there is any time left for me to do some revision for other subjects (We still have 4 more tests for Java Programming, 1 test for Calculus, and 1 more “online” test for System Analysis).
Let’s pray for more relaxing life after this week, hohoho~

First Post in English
Yoyo! This is my first post in english. From now on, all english blog posts will be posted to categories that is named in english. This is the first time I post articles over internet in english instead of chinese. Hopefully my english is not too “broken” till others are not able to understand.
At the moment I’m rushing for my System Analyzing case study and encounter some difficulties to draw DFD (Data Flow Diagram) with Microsoft Visio. I had tried other open source alternative software (for example, DIA for windows) but found out that they are more difficult to draw DFD.
Besides drawing DFD, I am also designing some input and output screen related to my case study titled Online Bookstore System Analysis. Luckily I played with those IDE before and know a bit of the techniques to design a form, or else I will spend hours to figure out how to design those damned IO screen.
Stressssssssss, but anyway, I watched Fantastic Four (F4) this afternoon and posted my thoughts on that movie (in chinese). If you are interested, you may read it with help from online translator (Google translator).

劳动节的出游
又是一篇延了又延的post，实在很对不起每天接近1000个hits的点击率（不过好像只有30多%是人来的，其余都是搜寻引擎的机器人）。在这里，我……继续写我的（没什么好道歉的，我的blog又不是为了你而生存的，哈哈哈哈）。好啦，其实是说前几天劳动节我跟妈回了她乡下——叻思（Rasa，我妈和老一辈的都读“la4 si1”）。听过老妈子说，以前叻思是一个满繁忙的小镇，繁忙的程度甚至不输于目前的吉隆坡，因为当时那边生产锡矿啦。不过随着锡矿的减少，那边的发展也开始慢慢的停顿下来了。可是最近几次下去都深深的体验到人事已非这个词儿的力量，因为不止路变宽了（附近好像有工业区还是水坝还是什么的），而且树也变少了，还有的就是独居老人也变多了。

这篇不聊电影
好担心很多第一次来的朋友会以为我真的在经营什么电影观后感的blog，终于在接二连三的电影观后感posts后回到正常一点的entry。首先要感谢的，应该是目前忙到不可开交的有文给了我一个机会被裕康毓康（不知道有没有确定写错字）大哥访问，另外也要感谢在半夜三更看到我的专访拨给我的泰祥（不知道有没有写错，不过我们都叫他憎太长）。这几天的visitor hits也并没有太dramatically增长太多，所以应该可以排除被人说搏出位的嫌疑吧，嘿嘿。

学院沦陷记
“铃……”，该死的闹钟还是无意外地准时响起来。熟睡中的翔还是很公式化地跳了起来，然后很熟练地把闹钟关掉，接着就像丧尸般缓缓倒回床上，继续刚才未完成的美梦。这个时候是早上五点半，虽然闹钟备有一个按了五分钟就重新响一次的功能，但是翔却没有一次失手唤出这个功能，而直接把闹钟关掉。
半小时后，仍然睡眼惺忪的翔终于甘愿起身了，起身后的他看了看时间，吓了一大跳，于是用跑一百米的速度冲下楼很公式化得倒了杯牛奶来喝。接着就上网顺便做一些事情。大概六点二十分左右，他又飞也似地跑回楼上梳洗换衣。因为今天清晨偏冷，所以他就穿了两件衣服以免着凉。然后，他就跟他刚起身且梳洗完毕的母亲和妹妹一起出发。到火车站的时候，翔和母亲分手然后踏上去学院的路程。
八点钟到了学院后，因为这一课老师吩咐过要到图书馆视听室上一堂“有趣”的课，所以翔很准时地走到图书馆的方向去。一路上，阳光的猛烈程度让翔开始诅咒，而且由于翔穿上两件衣服的关系，闷热的感觉更加令他心烦。大概十分钟后，满身汗水的翔终于到了图书馆。这时，晴朗的天空突然划过一道闪电，因为翔看到图书馆前小猫几只的冷清况。再看，原来图书馆还有大概二十分钟，即八点半才开始开放。
经过艰辛的等待后，八点半终于到了，而图书馆也如时开了。终于能够感受到冷气的翔很悠闲地走向视听室准备半个小时后的课程。因为视听室要等到九点钟才开放，所以翔等，再等，一直等到差不多全班同学的到来，可是视听室还是未见开放。这个时候，已经是九点多钟了。大概九点十五分，事先收到风的同学终于肯说讲师将会缺席，但是课程将会继续。虽说课程继续，但是视听室却空空如也，最重要的是，它还保持着上锁的状态。
等到大概九点半，寂寞难耐的翔送了封短讯出去给讲师报告视听室摆空城计的故事。大概几分钟后，讲师摇个电话回来通知嘱咐翔到办公室查询为什么视听室还没开。翔于是很后悔地走向办公室了解详情，在确定视听室将会很快开放后就走回去大家集合的地点通知大家准备上课。闹得来，已经是九点四十五分了，这个时候也就是离预定课程结束时间大概十五分钟。讲师适时再摇个电话了解详情，然后通知翔取消这个课程，因为十五分钟是不可能足够的。于是很快地，翔把这个“喜讯”传出去，然后一大班人马上作鸟兽散。
一个多钟的空课，大伙儿走到图书馆附近的咖啡屋吃早餐，然后走到接下来的课的课室，准备上接下来的课。因为这个星期轮不到翔参与，所以翔也乐得清闲。无惊无险上完这课后，已经是十二点中午了。由于天气闷热，所以大家舍远求近吃个简单的午餐，顺便提神。这是因为刚才那课的讲师虽然笑脸盈盈，但是暗地里她的声音却有一股慑人的力量，往往在上完她的课后，大家都会昏昏沉沉。最恐怖的就是，接下来的两个小时，大伙儿还要继续对着她和她的折磨。
其实在午餐前，有几个同学已经宣告阵亡，所以没办法参与我们待会儿跟讲师的精神战争。在准备充沛后，大家就用丧尸走路的速度步回班上。毫无意外，当她开始授课，翔就开始昏昏沉沉，讲堂仿佛成了一场学生和讲师间的战场。慢慢地，整个课室的氛围也开始慢慢沉下来，因为大家被笑脸盈盈的讲师俘虏了。由于讲师年纪颇大，而且笑脸盈盈，而且蛮唠叨，所以大家就在没有警觉心的情况下全数毫不费力地被她俘虏。很不巧地，或者说很幸运地，我们间中可能被幸运之神眷顾，所以发生了数次电流中断的事件。但是也很不幸的，这几次电流中断的持续时间都不维持得很长。终于结束了课程，我们成群人因为已经变成战俘，所以不能随便离开学院，所以就留下来等待接下来的课程。这个时候，已经是三点钟了，而且，很不巧的，在她刚宣布结束本日课程后，黑暗就完全地，无情地占领了整个学院。
灯光熄灭了，风扇不再转，空调也不再冷，这个情况，无疑是对身处炎热的天气之下的我们是一种超越精神的折磨。为了避难，我们一大群人走到一些比较凉快的地方休息。大概四点钟的时候，大伙儿又到另一个战俘收容所准备接受监视，但是可能是黑暗仍然努力攻打学院的关系，所以等了许久也未见有人出现监视我们。这个时候，本来已经阵亡的某女将军又复活了，于是她又回来和我们并肩作战。但是我们对她的光荣阵亡那种尊敬也在她的归来烟消云散。在军心持续动荡的这个时候，另一个相信也是和我们一样为战俘的通讯员同志走过来告诉我们黑暗已经攻陷整个学院，并且劝告我们马上逃亡以免再度被俘。已经对被俘开始感到恐怖的我们当然马上作鸟兽散，虽然没办法再次回到自己的地头，但是也比被俘的日子好过。所以，我们一伙展开了没有明天，没有归路的逃亡生涯。
p/s : 因为昏昏沉沉，加上很久没买KTM的火车票，迷糊的翔买错火车票。买错什么的票呢？你自己看。

电话咯
你说手提电话是不是很烦人咧？随着时代的进步，人与人之间的通讯业越来越方便，却也因此越来越冷漠（很讽刺吧）。越来越方便，当然是因为现在有太多的方法可以把两个甚至更多人连接起来，无论他们之间的距离是多远。更冷漠的原因，自然是我们少了面对面的接触。虽然是有了所谓的视像通讯，但是如果你通过这个科技和另一个人哭诉，你的眼泪会传真到对方那边吗？不要说我古板，如果不是为了方便我父母找到我，我想到现在我还是不会去出一部手机的。
出手机很好玩么？人类就是有那种变态的被虐狂，电话铃声就是最好的例子。君不见电话响起来的时候，电话的拥有者都是飞身过去接的吗？如果不是因为紧张的话，我想不出有什么原因。久而久之，电话对他来说是一种不能缺少的累赘。当然，聪明的会选择消音，因为消音后耳不听为静，呵呵呵。曾经试过有朋友半夜打电话来恶作剧后，我从那个时候开始就不在半夜开铃声了。除了半夜，除非我记得我关了铃声，我都会一整天过着电话铃声被关掉的生活。而烦处当然就是我常常漏接电话，因为我常常把电话放在裤袋，而常常都是穿cargo那种宽宽松松的，所以就算震动我也未必感应得到。
当然，你有了电话，就要随时预备惊喜的到来。说不定有一天，你好久不见的朋友因为不知道那里挖到你的电话打个电话给你嘘寒问暖。由或者过年过节就会因为大家互传短讯的缘故让电话公司赚翻几倍。当然，没有人叫你在这个关键时刻打电话，不然保证你妈声四起。事物都有两面，想象一下，一个白痴在你的悠闲假期打个电话给你告诉你一个月后有什么什么meeting还是什么的，保证你会恨不得站在他面前兜巴醒过去。现在的人，除了会用电话，还会滥用电话这个方便。很难保证日后Spamming会开始走向SMS。到时候我看世界末日也不远了，哈哈哈。
这几天学生能不能携带电话上学的课题似乎炒得很厉害，对学生来说，有一部手机，除了可以炫耀，我想最大的好处自然是不用依靠公共电话。因为本国的公民意识非常好，搞到你想随机选一部可用的公共电话的几率几乎和中彩票一样难。我甚至看过一个可怜的公共电话和电话亭被火亲吻高潮到全身变碳黑色。再不然比较仁慈的就是被口香糖塞住要害不让你有机会去使用。可恶吗？不用担心，你在学校也常常遇到这样的事，不然教师们不会人手一机了吧。
无可否认的是越来越多学生拥有一部或以上的电话，与其禁止学生们携带电话，到不如在别的地方管制他们。例如，进了学校强制关掉铃声。如果担心学生上课玩电话，还可以准备一个橱/Locker还是什么的让学生放电话。当然，有locker是最好，这样除了解决电话的烦恼，还可以解决小学生书包过重的无聊课题（学生的书报重量从我小学开始说到现在，还没有“完美”的解决方法，说来说去，还不是政治人物的表演骚……）。仔细看看小学生的书，你会发觉到年年都在吵小学生的书包过重，但是年年你看到小学生的书比一本厚厚的小说还要重上许多，既然知道重，干嘛要用那种纸？还有那个无谓的双语教数理，要嘛就用中文，要嘛就用英文，不要把小学生当作可怜的白老鼠。最白痴的当然就是那个声称会和华社共同进退的那堆人，我呸！（离题了）

不识时务不聪明不健谈不……随便啦
最近自己的幼稚贱男mode大开，以致似乎很容易招人口舌，有时候我也觉得自己是不是偶尔热心过了头导致表达方式有点过了火位。是的，年中被人点醒自己是幼稚男到了现在年终了，我仍然是个幼稚男，这怎么说也不是什么值得高兴的事情。我也不知道是不是自己把自己关在家里太久最近才开始出来晒晒太阳，结果就造成自己本来就有点anti-social的行为更加加剧还是什么的。
