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.

贫民富翁
Slum，基本上大概是指一些比较次都市的人口集聚地吧（我想），而Slumdog，据朋友之前说过当两个名次不当的组织在一起，那么应该都不是什么好东西。我不晓得这部电影中文被糟蹋成什么片名，所以此篇的title就随便凑一个。基本上当这部电影差不多结束的时候，我是差点快要整个决堤崩溃的。我不晓得是年级越来越大的关系而造成自己越渐眼浅还是什么的，可是看到他幸运获得终极奖金，从整个电影不断拱上来的氛围，这一切都非常具有煽动情绪的因素。

散落的城墙
我真的逢外拍就几乎有状况，不是忘了电池，就是忘了memory card，再不然就是忘了脚架。这一次，我再度败给了脚架，很值得恭喜，请掌声来一下。话说刚过去的星期六我去了拍Pudu监狱，因为是傍晚的关系，正常人都会想到要带脚架，我是完全迟钝到一个到了现场才发现……对哦，我应该带脚架的。无论如何，没有带脚架已经是定局了，所以还是看照片比较实际……（此篇很多图）

想写点关于思念的故事
这阵子除了自己的事情，也听说了一些别人的事情。有时候东西听多了，尤其是有共鸣的时候，会有一种想要用什么形式写出来的冲动。晚上从大学开车回家途中一时心血来潮想起了一段，后来在这个我应该睡着的时候，在忙完了手上需要做完的事情后突然想起了那一段词，结果就索性再组织一番化为一段字。其实是也可以写成一篇极短篇的，只是最近喜欢了类似诗词般的短小精悍，所以再度尝试一次。

互補還是互相吐血？
其實到底什麼是互補？常常聽到很多人在形容自己跟另一半，在喜好上的相反個性時都會用這個詞。是不是說一對情侶外出吃飯的時候，一個只是吃飯，另一個就只是吃配料？還是說一起去看電影的時候，結果一個去看動作片，另一個去看恐怖片。宅在家的時候，一個看着手機不斷回覆朋友的訊息，另一個就以為在旁邊自顧自玩積木。再不然逛書店的時候，一個黏在漫畫區，一個黏在文學區，時間到一起去吃分拆兩份的椰漿飯？

现在的劫匪真TMD猖狂
今天因为还在赶Assignment的关系一行四人到其中一位成员的家完成我们的 Assignment（可是Somehow变成了我的One Man Show，这是后话，待会再谈）。结果刚踏入门口就看到一位女生满身伤，看起来很哀伤的样子。虽然我是很好奇，可是因为素不相识，所以还是不便开口向问。后来透过朋友的查探，才知道她在学院附近被打劫。真是TMD，光天化日之下，这种社会垃圾竟然公然行抢。
其实今天是有很多不满要申诉的，第一个当然是那个抢劫案。接下来就是本少爷非常不爽人家公然恶意地对我骂粗口。他以为他是什么人，竟然口出狂言，如果不是当时本少爷正在忙加上距离遥远，恐怕我的一巴掌随之送上。
话说昨天，小弟因为自己第四稿的Proposal被讲师退稿，不过还好有了比较明确的线索，所以用尽精神在一小时内重新绘制一张。在这种十万火急的情况，再加上我是在讲堂，大家都很安静（就算是谈天，我们十个人也不会吵得太离谱），我也很平静地画。谁不知，这个时候，这个王八蛋突然间对着他的 GroupMember大声咆哮（原谅我用这词儿，但是我真的找不出更适当的词句来形容他的音量）。我只是很给脸地嘘声示意他降低音量，谁不知他竟然 “FUCK YOU!!!”，他奶奶的，他以为自己是什么新鲜萝卜皮。
本来自己忙昏了头没有记住这件事的（因为实在太琐碎了，这种记忆实在不配留在记忆中），可是今天我听到了令我更加火滚的消息。我从自己成员的口中听说这个人很大声（换句话说，是自大，可以参考我之前的自大论）地对他自己的成员说我们的Group做了那么多东西却头头碰着黑。我们差关他什么事，要他管！！！
就是这样多，可能最近因为睡眠时间变少的缘故，所以人也比较暴躁（荷尔蒙失调呵，呵呵呵），这样小事都能气这么久，实在太不值得了
