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.

超不爽
今天不懂搞什么的竟然倒霉到这种地步（虽然一部分是本人的错……）。本来一切无恙，到了下午本来很开心地想要去看Initial-D的，可是竟然排了一个小时，ticket status从available一直变到sold out status，而且还是两部戏六个时段。再来本来要通过电讯公司的SMS服务定购的，可是也是满到泻。
这还不用紧，反正怎样也是要帮朋友买第二天的票，所以一切尚算顺利。搞定了朋友的票后，就很悠闲地离开去某著名书局看看书，剩下我一些还不死心的朋友在等有没有奇迹发生。不过反正自己已经不打算看了，所以没有放在心上。待我看完书下来后，我的朋友们都全部买到票了，真的……呵呵。不过反正自己本来也不打算看的，所以就走咯。坦白说，个人真的有那么一点点暗锤咯……
好了，回到PJ，也很惯例地去某地放帮老妈子买点东西，很幸运的，竟然有一个位给我泊车（谁不知，原来是凶兆的开端……）。因为知道自己大概五分钟内就走的，所以也没有付Parking的费用（因小失大……）。就在这五分钟内，我就被开罚单了，还是100大元那种，唉，鬼叫我图省事咩。不过这已经是本月内第二次收到有关parking的罚单了，有没有搞错……

眼泪
前几天因为朋友家里出了一点事情，第一次看到这么无助的她担心她一个人在家会胡思乱想就差遣了靓仔老板先过去，然后我再飞车去看她。结果抵达的时候，本来在电话那头语音有点哽咽的她突然间变得容光焕发，精神状态比刚interview完毕匆匆把午餐吃完把衬衫脱掉剩件烂Tee出去的人还要好。基本上，当时我对她这种情绪上180度的转变是有点错愕的。

復忘
“復國的希望，眼下看來也只能落在公主身上了。”
眼看魔軍即將來襲，一眾皇族人等聚集在祭壇上思考着接下來要怎麼做。祭司突而起來的這句話，使得所有原本焦慮的目光，頓時間變得熾熱，然後一起投向不知所措的公主身上。面對着整群人那種滿懷希望的眼光，這時的公主卻只能不由自主得往後退了幾步。誰知一個踉蹌，卻撞上了身後守護着祭壇的侍衛。可能是撞擊衝擊過大的關係，結果兩人就一起跌倒了。怎麼會是我呢？公主還來不及細想，眾人就在祭祀的指示下扶起了二人，然後送到祭壇上。

泰迪梦蝶
看完了这部电影，其实第一个想到的事情是——周公梦蝶，hence标题。周公梦蝶是说个人，大概就叫周公（抱歉，很明显我是没有受过什么五千年中华文化熏陶的半番唐死仔包），在某天梦见自己是个蝴蝶很惬意在园中乱飞，然后自己全然带入到自己是蝴蝶这个角色之中。可是梦总是要醒的，问题是醒来后周公开始搞混了自己到底是不是一只蝴蝶，身为周公是不是一直以来只是个梦，而蝴蝶才是自己真实的存在？

女人•禍水？
若宗教和科學是一段光譜的兩個極端，那我一定是站在靠近科學的那一端，畢竟自己是個修電腦科學系的人。對於宗教，個人評價是無論神諭是不是存在，但到了最後傳播神的旨意和訊息的主要都是人類，所以其實傳播人亂講神好像也吹他不漲。或者應該說，訊息傳到了每個人的耳裡，在經過大腦的整理後，出來的解讀因人而異。可能就是這樣，就產生了個源流的宗教，甚至源出同流的各自信徒也有不同的見解相互不承認。
