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.

Jeff正式踏入20岁
先给一个事前警告，这篇东西很长篇大论，而且内容松散，看前请三思（前面这段文字是我在倒数大概9分钟写的，写到这个时候已经是差不多一小时了），不要说我没先行警告你！（以下开始是我一小时内的心路历程，纯粹是想到什么就写什么的，只是想把这一刻的我记下来）
20岁前后有什么分别？我在写这篇文章的时候，已经是我20前倒数的一个小时。仔细想想，这二十个年头来，我到底经历过了什么？我的性格有了什么样的转变？思想上有没有成熟？学到的，看到的有多少？其实这些看起来或听起来不会很重要吧。我想最值得庆幸的是，到了这个年纪，还有这么多亲人陪伴着我长大，以及给我无私的关怀。在这里谢谢他们。除此之外，在踏入二十岁，我也想感谢我的朋友们，在我这么“高调”的情况下仍然不吝于给与我生日的祝福，哈哈哈哈哈。20年了，乍一听似乎好像很久，可是我小时候经历的东西仍然历历在目，仿佛很多事情才刚刚发生。记得的，除了开心的时刻，也有辛酸、心痛的那一刹那，也有情绪失控，愤怒的火爆场面。

万圣节很快乐
今天很快乐，请容许我唱一首歌来表达我的快乐。“快乐，是可以分享的，快乐，需要一些过程，快乐，总是能被记得，因为记忆是与生俱来的”，对的，这首是张智成的歌，听不到我在唱什么？那就算了，你不需要听到。为什么很快乐，因为今天听到一些好消息。第一个，我们要开始准备申请实习了，不管结果如何，都得先开心一下。第二个，之前在烦恼为什么Data Structure被抽起的事情解决了（算是），是第二个值得高兴的事情。第三个，神经病的讲师今天脱轨的表现让大家都很有惊喜。

算命•十
推测死亡时间的功能是这几年才加入系统的，基于好奇艾文和小迪在翻阅了系统的文档才发现这系统的触角原来在这几十年间原来已经到达了令人毛骨悚然的广泛程度。这死亡时间的资料一般只有组织的高层才能看到，这也解释了为什么普通执行者如裴达和我全然未曾发现有这样的东西。

回乡记（有一些图，所以请忍耐）
前几天真的过得很恐怖，上一篇才说自己行尸走肉（好像有，好像没有，还是自己这次过分夸张？），就马上有现眼报了，所以以后说话可得小心一点。怎么说呢，过去几天忙到天昏地暗，惊天地泣鬼神。那种忙碌，就好像是你被一根麻绳紧紧箍着你的脖子，然后麻绳的另一头，是一个仆街骑着快马（说到这里，胡叔叔的亲戚刚骑了金马，恭喜啦。希望很快轮到胡叔叔）拖着我。那种速度，恐怕你会宁愿驾车10公里/小时都不要被这样的速度拖着走。

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……
