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.

眼皮札札跳的通勝之路
看完了謎一樣的上篇，如果以為通勝就只有這樣，那就大錯特錯了，沒兩把刷子有怎麼稱得上通勝之名呢？說到通勝這個名字，記得有一次我在研究生辦公室不知怎麼的跟一個廣東省來的研究生有說到這個，說了半天她竟然不知道什麼是通勝，然後又花了老半天解釋才知道對方只知道通書，不知道通勝，也不曉得會叫通“勝”，其中一個原因是因為在粵語通“書”跟通“輸”同音這樣。所以通勝這名字是從哪裡來的，看來還有很大的商榷空間？

我們都自卑
剛才順便瀏覽一下社交網站的塗鴉牆時間軸時，發現了一個我不知道是戲謔還是認真的標題。我是沒什麼興趣看內文，但從裏面的一些snippet看得出是說黃飛鴻是個回教徒云云。看到的當下，我
嬸嬸深深的腦海裏想到的是「So what?」。可是再想一下，卻發現過去的幾年，同樣的故事也同時間發生在不同的人身上。隨手拈來的就有什麼漢督亞啦，什麼歐巴馬啦等等等等。所以由此一件，就會發現普遍上大部分的民族都是自卑的。不然每次牽涉的人物，爲何都是踏在風口浪尖上的風雲人物？ -
失败的爱情故事
想了良久，我也不知道如何把这段故事付诸于文字。总觉得认识一些人是一件很有趣的事情，尤其是对我这种暂时对恋爱没有特别兴趣，或者是我的电线没有在感应恋爱频率状态的人。我也不知道是一种福气还是一种烦恼，不过我很喜欢听故事（八卦比较好听的
包装代号），所以某程度上应该还算是好处。最近有个朋友失恋了，虽然对我们外人来说当事人其实根本连所谓情网的边边还摸不上，但是对于他，我们还是要有道德的聆听一下他的故事。话说最近他认识了一名女生（免责条款：故事经过润饰，或许和现实有所出入，请不要问我是谁的问题，你喜还的话，可以当作是我的某宗绯闻，我不介意），很有好感，差不多猴擒到要面对面表白。可是，为了保持自己所谓的尊严IMAGE，所以用了很婉转的方式询问女方对他的看法。 -
三個外國人教我們一個馬來西亞
前陣子因爲失戀（很難過不要問），所以在那陣子看了很多很白爛劇情很蠢的喜劇片。後來在前幾個星期，也另外看了一部廢到爆炸的飛虎出征。今天託向希的福，就透過深夜電影院
創羣人KC拿到了一張2013年第十屆日本電影節的首映邀請券。是夜首映的，是ケンとメリー 雨あがりの夜空に Ken & Mary: The Asian Truck Express（又名：雨后的夜空）（我不會打日文，沒辦法放日文名字）。根據介紹，這部片子是在馬來西亞實地拍攝（現在知道爲什麼標題放這個了吧，嘿嘿），結果很多場景在我看來似曾相識。哦對了，如果不喜歡破哏文，勿閱。 -
出席地址統一制度工作坊筆記
由於之前工作的關係，天天看著一堆書寫得很奇怪的地址抓頭是無奈的日常。或許是纍積的負能量太强大，所以身邊好些朋友不多不少都聽過我的牢騷。是的，馬來西亞的地址系統很繁雜，且沒有特別統一的標準，所以處理起來非常歡樂。當然這裏說歡樂，在我的角度是很多的痛苦
(more…)（啊不然我就不會受不了離職了）。至於問題有多嚴重，在這裏也不一一細數了。
