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.

到別人網誌作文不用一次就上手
這幾天Émilee在揪guestblogging，所以我在想揪人跳坑的我是不是也要來響應一下當作支持。可是道人家家作文，這學問實在也真大。寫得好又怕功高震主，寫得壞又會砸自己招牌。所以若要應對得宜，
我會寧願寫得比人家精彩逼死他這中間應是有很多東西可以考究。所以爲了讓大家準備好去人家家反客爲主客串一下，且容小弟我唬爛瞎掰跟大家一起討論一個所以然出來好讓大家在人家家撒尿愉快。啊，說得我都背後快有道光惹快臉紅了。 -
靈魂凋零的都門之地
前天坐在身在建築業朋友車裏，在偏頭痛找上門來的當而，耳邊聽到的是他帶點抱怨的語氣說着地下鐵工程的事請。其中之一，就是關於老街拆不拆的問題。細節其實我記不得清（我在偏頭痛中咧），但因爲不熟悉，所以當時也沒過多在爭辯就是。反正最後我暗自下的結論就是，但願老天不會那天突然間降下政府突然徵用他家土地。我可以瞭解因爲立場的不一樣所以思考邏輯的分歧，但是那種近乎不計人情的話語實在讓人聽了不忍。

你要不要吃粉紅色的橘子？
最近從朋友處那裏（其實也就是社交網站裏）看到一個頗有趣的影片。其實他說的事情是個很嚴肅的課題，應該說是呈現的方式頗爲幽默才有趣味。先介紹這人，雖然爲人風趣（至少在影片裏）但他卻是個哲學系的教授。學哲學的人應該很喜歡問爲什麼這樣爲什麼那樣，感覺應該很不苟言笑才對不是嗎？可是偏偏應該是那種愛死什麼十萬個爲什麼的人，卻用最輕鬆有趣的方式去駁斥人們對此課題的迷思。

算命•六
换完车子然后开往通讯器所说的地址途中，后面原本穷追不舍的高孟在这近乎一小时的车程完全没出现。大概暂时是甩开了他吧，可是刚才预感的画面却让我不得不提高警惕，深怕高孟会在什么角落突然冒出来，希望刚才看到的是幻觉吧。很快的，裴达突然在一个小木屋前停了下来，看起来还真的不太起眼，不就是个普通的木屋吗？

为何复仇？
研究工作不见进展，但是倒是在三小时内把一个月多前在脑海一闪而过的故事变成了一堆字海。故事的来源，或者启发会写这篇故事其实是发生在看完这部电影后突然想到的。所以，如果故事看起来有些情节很雷同不用怀疑，因为的确是inspired by那部电影就是。至于情节嘛，我是会承认有点找戏来做啦，可是故事不都是这样么？
