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.

被骂的戆居好人
说来话长，其实要说起来也不是件容易的事。话说星期一因为答应了两个朋友一起去溜冰所以放学后我们一行三人一起出发到Sunway去。抵达的第一件事，当然就是先吃晚餐啦。吃饱喝足后因为我有些唱片要买，所以先去唱片行（结果买了一张张惠妹的“我要快乐”给自己，两张林俊杰的“曹操”，一张送人做生日礼物，还有一张是帮我妹买的）。嗯，溜冰过程不太顺利，但是总算在一个多小时后出溜冰场的时候我已经能够不依靠把手溜了（虽然并不是很稳，偶尔还是会跌一下。但是我不明白为什么我朋友说我已经很不错了，因为我觉得自己溜得有点狼狈，哈哈哈。）。溜冰后给我的最佳纪念品，就是因为鞋子的关系，我擦损了脚踝（痛死了），还有就是因为一直乱冲乱撞的关系，我的腿有点疼（第二，第三天痛到要死）。当然这个并不是重点啦，重点是接下来发生的事情。

期待10月1日
这天会发生什么事呢？我打算这天凌晨开放我筹备了一周的i乐榜音乐论坛网站进行公测。为什么要拖到今天呢？纯粹是因为这个日期很好记，不是吗？
这几天都在忙着界面的设计，还好得到的反应还不算太差，唯一我觉得不大好的是在IE下浏览有些小问题。不过等到一切正式步上轨道的时候，我将会进行另一轮的界面修改，和整理一下已安装的插件。
嗯，听空间商说刚换了server，希望一切顺顺利利啦！

大宝森节2.0
今年是第二次挑战大宝森外拍，可是一开始我就失败在了起跑点——睡不够。基本上我到了周末就很不爱睡觉，所以在星期六的凌晨，我是摸到大概是离该起床的前两个小时半之前才甘愿睡觉。结果就是我几乎迟大到，而且还因为手机不晓得为什么放了静音miss了好几次随行人——向希的电话。当天的行程是传说中的阿练带路，随行的还有全程表情让我想起我去年跟幽子两个人的表情的慧茵、华语发音很标准的雅文和爱玲（然后我们好像忘了很典型的大合照）。然后半随行的（吃早餐遇到的）还有另一批我不认识的摄影人……（然后我记忆力退化的程度很糟糕到几乎不记得他们的名字……怎么办？！）

來小換個新裝
看來我真是個失敗的人，不過也不是特別企劃所以也沒太難過就是。話說昨天的愚人特帖應該沒有人看了趕快砍雞吧？今天的發文，主要是來交代一下站點又換新裝了，是說也太令人振奮了不是嗎？其實也不是什麼太大的更動，純粹是
多來搞想要複習一下落下已久的CSS。好在經過了一整天的瘋狂努力，終於還是把新設計給暫時弄了出來給大家先看看。接下來陸續幾天我會慢慢在此之上小修一點細節，所以大概大家每天進來都有可能發現一些小地方的更改就是。 -
沉淀期
我相信，是人都需要在某段时间后沉淀一下自己的思绪，自己的生活，自己的任何事情，包括blogging的生活。说实在话，过去接近一年间，个人并没有比之前diploma的生活开心，心情感觉就好像Harry Potter系列一样越来越黑暗，让你越来越看不下去却仍然必须看到结局才罢休。生活何尝不是呢？无论生活是不是称心如意，你还是得过，除非你把你的书丢掉烧掉。但是书不同人命，你烧了一本书，地球妈妈只会诅咒你，而如果你自杀了，很多人会为你感到痛心。
