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.

我的开心等人宣言
我发现自己年纪越大，耐心就被磨得越薄，以前动辄等个三两个小时可以无怨无悔，但是刚才只等了半小时整个人火都上来，比熬夜煲连续剧还要更上火。是说，只是个很casual的茶聚，为什么要把自己弄得如此不开心？后来其实自己想了一下，我是不是做了什么东西纵容了身边的人可以很放心地迟到，或者是我根本没有那种存在感？到了最后，与其因为别人而让自己不高兴，我是不是该做点什么？

意念致殲 第十二章 （下）
從這天起，他跟父親相互對峙的關係一直沒有改善過。一直到小學六年級為止，兩父子見面吵架的時候從來沒有停頓的時候。繼母時而像要調停，卻常常又無端給扯進爭吵當中，變得兩邊都不討好。終於到小學畢業的這天，因為離別在即大家都捨不得太早離開。就這樣在學校的時間也耽擱了好一陣子，以致遲了回家。

十灾重现
不知道为什么，看完这部电影，感觉其实没有很满意。基本上，这部电影给我的感觉就是下一部已经是势在必行了，因为电影内伏笔处处。其实我不很喜欢这部电影，和惊悚片种没有关系，而是故事的背景好像不太适合。说穿了，我是不能接受这个时代还有仙女托世，还有如此的神力。除此之外，故事的结局更是令我啼笑皆非，我很难去相信女主角可以很安心很安乐的脱罪，毕竟最后死那么多人，是很难去交待的。至少，你没有可能跟人家说是上天的旨意吧？当然这只是部电影，逻辑思考的东西可以暂时丢一旁。

What a Gay Day
在被罵之前，首先我得承認我是標題黨員。是這樣的，前陣子在網絡上，看到有人揪去聽聽看台灣的同志出版社（基本書坊）的社長（邵祺邁先生）暢談當地同志運動發展的二三事。想說有個素未見面的blogger也曾經在這家出版社出過書，所以便去問問看（其實是想要盧他現身，是的我很八卦）。結果抵達Jalan Panggung的時候（是說Moontree house的所在也太隱秘
其實是我眼睛長錯地方），在這條一百米不到的街道上我還時花了五分多鐘的時間找這家café（我竟然還到在六號門牌和月樹在底層的招牌前翻開相關通告找地址）。
