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.

病人三月天杂记
那天外公问我登记选民了没，那段让我白等了好久的记忆就这样回来了，嗯，不甚愉快。有时候，看着报纸的新闻，看着政客们睁眼说瞎话，其实我有在纳闷他们到底给国民们进行着什么样的身教？说到身教，就想到那个掌权五十多年，现在被一位流氓政客领导的政党，是如何厚颜无耻的继续让临教问题持续悬而未决。

生平第一次参与工作坊
不管啦，总之上星期六是小弟第一次参与用工作坊这个形式包装的活动。基本上这类活动其实听闻已久，但是参与到还是第一次。只可惜这地方没有提供无线上网无法即时update网站，算是一点点小小遗憾吧。无论如何，这次的工作坊（其实是pack了几段的talks，各耗时大概三十分钟）包含了几个主题，计有——部落格在独立媒体的角色，新手部落，赚钱秘籍和梦想。简单的活动报告小弟已经post上官网，在这里我想注重的，是我个人的感想（每次都要另外声明真的有点累）。

说英文的港片
本来昨天就要看的，可是时间凑不到所以就选在今天去观赏这部电影。算起来这算是我第一次买票看他执导的电影（之前看的都是小箱子内重播的），也第一次在大荧幕领教了他偏黑色的题材。本片是中法合资的一部电影，所以整部电影除了大家都熟悉的港星，还有两张外国脸孔。这是一部很专注的电影，因为从头到尾几乎没有太多的支线，一路到底都是铺陈一个复仇的故事。是的，这部电影就是杜琪峰导演的《复仇》。

是我们容忍这样的客户服务吗？
有时候，我真的不知道是不是大多数人都愿意容忍很糟糕的客户服务，结果导致自己被吃得死死的。写这篇文章的时候，我那部见鬼的车子终于弄好了，前后花了我整整一个星期，可是真要从一开始算起其实等了差不多两个多星期。本来以为是可以如肥皂剧一样，大团圆结局的，可是却没有想到，到了这个时刻，还是怒气冲冲的。是说我可以去找消费人协会，去投诉这整个星期很不可理喻的遭遇吗？如果问题只是出在车子维修厂那边就算了，可是这两个星期来，我还需要面对多一个压力的来源——家人。

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。
