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.

算命•十一
平行世界，其实简单来说跟我们身处的现实世界非常的相似，如果不把我们这群预言者根本不存在于这个世界里这一点考虑进去的话。换句话说，虽然一切都很相似，但是预言者是根本不存在于这个平行世界里面的。大家都在问如果世界少了自己会发生什么事，可是对预言者们来说，少了他们的世界却根本一点关系都没有。

妄念
吃早餐噜！看着眼前丰富的早餐，有一大碗昨晚就放到电子砂煲里滚一个晚上的白粥，然后有香香的芙蓉蛋，加上半颗咸蛋，算起来可真是个美好的早餐呢，不是么？吃了两三口，好像有点不对劲，啊！好像弄少一人份，糟糕了！于是就赶紧冲到厨房，不过因此好像发现了更多有问题的地方，怎么少了个水杯？那可是他最爱的水杯啊，而且还是我买的生日礼物耶，到底丢到哪里去了？该不会……应该是放在房间没错。

[重唱]叫ISP太委屈
最近因为maintenance的关系（好选不选，选在我考试期间维修，Streamyx是不是跟我过不去？），最近的网速可以说有多不稳定就有多不稳定。结果深受其害的（还好因为考试期间网速对我来说不是大问题，只是每次msn上msg send不出让我很frustrated）blog友，或者应该是说前辈发起了一个有趣的掰歌游戏，而这首这么可怜的歌自然又是上阵子在本地blogosphere里面让我们几个人

First Post in English
Yoyo! This is my first post in english. From now on, all english blog posts will be posted to categories that is named in english. This is the first time I post articles over internet in english instead of chinese. Hopefully my english is not too “broken” till others are not able to understand.
At the moment I’m rushing for my System Analyzing case study and encounter some difficulties to draw DFD (Data Flow Diagram) with Microsoft Visio. I had tried other open source alternative software (for example, DIA for windows) but found out that they are more difficult to draw DFD.
Besides drawing DFD, I am also designing some input and output screen related to my case study titled Online Bookstore System Analysis. Luckily I played with those IDE before and know a bit of the techniques to design a form, or else I will spend hours to figure out how to design those damned IO screen.
Stressssssssss, but anyway, I watched Fantastic Four (F4) this afternoon and posted my thoughts on that movie (in chinese). If you are interested, you may read it with help from online translator (Google translator).

麻林：好吃吗？朗亮。
朗亮：。。。。。（发呆）
麻林：朗亮！
朗亮：是。。是！叫我吗？
麻林：朗亮，发生什么事啦，怎么脸色这么差？
朗亮：没。。没有啊？
麻林：我问你，好吃吗？
朗亮：好，当然好吃啦！
麻林：我上一上厕所，你在这儿等一会哦！
朗亮：哦！知道了。。。。
时间一下子从1：30到了2：00。可是麻林还是没有出来。朗亮有一点怕了，心想不会是麻林出什么事了吧？
朗亮：麻林！你好了没有？玲玲在厕所的门口叫道。
当时间的钟声响起时，麻林从里面走了出来。
朗亮：麻林，你怎么才出来，都过了这么才时间了。
可是麻林并没有理会他，只是眼睛直直的看着朗亮。。。
