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.

選擇與傳承（異域神劍一二代）
既然電影也寫過了，這些年因為入手Nintendo Switch的關係玩了不少遊戲，也該寫寫一些遊戲玩後感。這次就先說說丟入了快兩百五十小時進去的，兩代的異域神劍（或異度之刃，Xenoblade Chronicles）這樣。雖然操作和體驗沒有《塞爾達傳說：荒野之息》（Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild）這樣震撼，但這系列的獨特之處是故事的深度和轉折吧。

驚嘆化妝朮的雲端雜話
Tom Hanks，Hugo Weaving，Halle Berry，周迅，再加Wachowski Brothers（好吧，忘了一個前字，哥哥前陣子施了變性手術），這部片子，還未上映就已經想進場看了。誰知道後來因為種種因素，片子進來馬來西亞的時候已經是快半年之後的事情，再等到我入場就是快下畫的前幾天這樣。預告片中一直看到有亞裔的臉孔，本來還以為那是周迅（因為看到的文宣都是她的名字），還以為說化妝技術已臻如此境界。可是看完電影才知道，雖然周小姐名字打很大，但卻只是個小配角，那個片中頻頻出現的，是韓國人裴斗娜Doona Bae。

有沒有看一封信會歷經戀愛到失戀的八卦？
話說乾涸得像什麼一樣的我在元旦期間收到了一封信（是說我竟然可以拖到今天才寫完結篇也太拖戲），從一開始收到的憤怒，到開信時的嬌羞，然後大愛到希望可以共享，在外人看來簡直就是一段戀愛的縮影。可是新聞看多是好的，因為我很多小三不說，最可怕也不是他老大找到我地址，而是好像有聽到說有一家人收到很多收件人為不詳的這封信。是說這樣這封信就變成了不祥之物嗎？想起來都怕怕的……

大家还好吧？
我好像很久没有在更新我的blog了，这段期间除了没有什么在打理我的blog，也没有什么精神去理会周遭的bloggers在做些什么。当然，时间不会因为我个人的冷感而停止转动，世界也不会因为我个人的不闻不问而停止转动。套句很多人都知道的一句话来说的话——不管你是不是喜欢，时间的巨轮还是会推着你走。所以，最近整个大环境变得很happening应该不是什么值得太surprised的事情。

阿妈，我得o左啦~
老实说，很多亲人都不希望笔者在这家公司继续逗留下去，至于原因，实在没有详叙的必要，毕竟笔者不是个什么大中华主义者。昨晚在看完电影后，船夫（最近关于工作的文章都跟船夫有关系）才刚问笔者什么时候成为正式员工，犹记得当时笔者用着一种很不可置信的语气说才工作个半月哪有怎么快。不过有时候巧合的事情真的不由得你先穿上华丽服装化上鲜艳妆容用最美丽的姿势站着迎接，一切真的来得很措手不及。
