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.

今天的天气不很晴朗
上最后一个学期的时候，我在早上上课进课室之前突然开始有了一种习惯，就是抬头望天。在那个时候，老天爷可以说是主宰着我的情绪的一个主子。那个时候其实是我自己受压最甚的时候，所以就毫无原因的开始爱上满天的蓝天白云。当然天无百日晴，偶尔还是有阴天乌云满布，甚至还有一些时候是大雨滂沱，那么那一天，再好的情绪也会因此而鋪上一层浅浅淡淡的乌云。是的，在那个期间，我是个极度情绪化的死仔包。

文化遗产摄影比赛
长这么大，还没真正用双脚走过KL市中心，以前最尽的记录也只不过是在茨厂街晃悠。不过这次虽然还是没有走完整个KL，但是我用双脚征服的版图也大概因为这个比赛扩大了有大概至少两倍之多。其实一开始因为真的没有太多时间准备，所以一开始的拍摄方向是想拍postcard型的照片，可是后来拍着拍着会觉得自己拍得很typical的旅客所以到了后来就完全凭感觉来拍摄自己眼睛所看的东西。所以呢，到最后要凑照片呈交的时候自然是凑不齐10张啦，哈哈哈。（跳进来就会有很多图片）

戀人絮語
沒有爲了某人生一篇文章的習慣，可是不知怎的卻一直想寫一篇給你。有時候我在想，兩年快四個月過去了我們怎麼還在一起。正如你所說過的，我們生命幾乎根本沒有交際。你的工作天天面對人羣，而我對得最多的卻是電腦熒幕上的符號。真的勉強要說有的，大概就是無遠弗屆的虛擬網絡世界。也就是因爲網絡的無邊無際，卻又仿若遠在天邊實則近在眼前的魔力造就了我倆的相遇。

to 买 or not to 买
要不要买Textbook，这个问题，和“今天去那里吃午餐？”这种问题都有一个共同点——就是很deep。因为越读越多，就发觉很多书是越来越不需要买，因为可以搜到的资源太多，而且如我之前所说的，课程一只都在重复，所以这个学期，我还在犹豫是不是要买数据库这一科的课本。因为相关的资料真的是随处可得，再不然如果真的有急用图书馆也有copy。可是我就是不喜欢到图书馆借书，因为需要被时间绑着，我怕自己读到欲罢不能不舍得还。 -
又是年终……
有时年终了，例排又是一大堆佳节排队等你来庆祝，因为自己最近赶Assignments的关系，所以根本没时间去理这些佳节的到来。直到今天早上，因为我们一大班人吃早餐时突然扯到这点才猛地醒起今天是冬至了。再翻看自己的手机inbox，才发觉到自己是刻意遗忘今天是冬至的日子。可能一向来的节日庆祝都偏于沉闷吧，所以年龄渐长后越来越不期待节日的到来。
数数自己收到关于冬至的短讯，虽则不多，但是也有三封那么多了。在这里就顺便摘录下来给大家在last minute还没有send给朋友的你一个参考吧。
拜五找拜六问礼拜是否拜一已提醒拜二通知拜三：拜四是冬至。拜一叫拜二告诉拜三转告拜四吩咐拜五肯定拜六记得礼拜是圣诞节。祝冬至快乐！圣诞快乐！
让平安搭上冬天的快车道，让快乐与你轻轻拥抱，让烦恼低头悄悄走掉，让吉祥对你格外关照，让幸福对你微笑！先祝福你，冬至快乐，圣诞快乐。
在面粉还没有搓成汤圆、日历还没有更新、东风还没停息、年龄还没增加……我先祝你：“冬至快乐”。再先祝你“圣诞节”和“新年快乐”
接下来这个是我自己写得，很白痴的祝福sms。是自己在放学后在火车里面按某个绕口令的记忆编出来的，喜欢的话可以抄下来……
我告诉你不要告诉别人我告诉你别人告诉我告诉你告诉别人告诉别人不要告诉我告诉你不要告诉别人因为别人告诉我祝你冬至圣诞新年快乐、健康
p/s : 临睡前再追加一个
搓阿搓……搓汤圆
汤圆搓得圆又圆
吃了汤圆好团圆
一家大小乐开怀
冬至快乐
玲珑飘……玲珑飘
圣诞老人下凡了
到你家门报佳音
祝你圣诞快乐！
