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.

我好了！
终于痊愈了，呵呵呵，大概是吧，至少比之前好过了许多。其间要感谢关心我的人（寥寥可数，可悲啊）。其中一位就是其貌不扬（唔，不能这样说她），应该是美若天仙，沉鱼落雁，倾国倾城，肥环燕瘦，啊，不是不是，总之意思到了就好了。哎呀，忘了介绍人家，她就是刚认识不久的Emily小姐，今年大小弟一年，明年仍然大小弟一年，依此类推。最近Emily小姐很爱演仔仔（忧郁……），如果想做做善事的话，可以上她的blog帮她打气，人家人在异乡是特别需要鼓励滴。在此郑重感谢她在忧郁中也能够发挥她超群的爱心安慰我这个小弟弟，谢谢啦。
不过病好了也是时候公布一下我的网站将在近日暂时关闭几天以便进行搬迁的工作（这要感谢Knight先生，他的blog在此）。漫漫长假，但是我不见得空闲很多，除了要应付一大堆功课和assignments，我还要继续之前搁下的i乐榜的进度。预料本周可以真的安装上虚拟形象的功能了，加油！

乞帮叫化鸡（图片帖）
星期天风和日丽特别适合家庭聚会，所以我随着家人和家父的朋友一起去吃叫化鸡。我们去吃的那个地点叫做Jugra，应该算是个民风纯朴的小乡镇。因为我们比预先设定的时间早到，所以我们先到了某山上去看灯塔。可是无心插柳之下，我们竟然看到有人在玩跳伞。本来还想玩玩Panshooting，但是这次却有点难度，因为速度感并没有很强烈，然后物体相当远，还没等到我聚焦完毕人就飞走了，好啦，我承认自己迟钝。可是上了山不拍点照还真的是很对不起我妈的空调机，可惜我的时间大多数在思考怎么构图（没办法，摄影我还是很弱），所以拍没有很多。

亲爱的国民们，你为什么容忍这样的服务态度？！
能让我很火滚的事情不多，可是最近一年内大暴走的场景都是和客户服务有关的。有时候不亲身体验，就永远不会知道藏在歌舞升平，什么所为最佳经商国家高排位之下，竟然会有这样的客户服务。或者应该说，有这样的客户服务，有如此傲慢的态度，难怪商人都喜欢来这里做生意，反正客户服务随便敷衍两下就算了。在这片国土上，不要期望外国口碑良好的服务态度，来到了本地会有所改善，因为那只有在童话里才会发生的。

我的跳坑宣言？
相較今年的反應，去年的迴響應該算頗爲熱烈。主要是一直到目前爲止，除了我參與跳坑之外只有另一個正式報名科科科。看來經過了去年的煎熬後，大家都不太想再淌着渾水（揪跳人我表示很失敗）。安妮爲，無論有沒有人參與，我本人還是會繼續玩下去就是。
靠腰，天氣熱得真讓人提不起勁來所以我接下來的日子，就是又回到每個星期六又得擔驚受怕的情況了。 -
清晨
有多久没有这么早（清晨五点半）起身了？我想没有几年都有几个月了吧。这几天玩过最有趣的游戏，要算是WTJ无端要我玩的太委屈歌唱游戏了。这个游戏正在以超龟速蔓延中，毕竟不是每个人都是那么空闲+随便的，所以我在找人参与的时候可以说是碰了一鼻子灰。到目前为止，已经差不多有五六个人唱了（而我自己也发布了两个版本），如果你想知道是谁的话，欢迎到这个post查询。而有趣的是，这个游戏也渐渐得到一些人的注意，甚至还有人为此写了一个blog post（差点被我spam karma吃掉了，歹势啦，呵呵呵呵）。
