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.

替身的世界
先妄论替身这个概念会不会在短期内成型，假设如果替身这机器人人人都能负担的起的话，再假设我们能够感觉到替身机器人感受到的一切，四肢健全的我们，会不会如电影里面的人选择在家里当宅男腐女？其实在看这部电影之前只是看到trailer，就感觉到电影里面的surry（替身的昵称？）很像在Matrix Trilogy里面描述的未来世界，只是主宰者是人类本身，而不是机器帝国。

五千字如浮雲的觀後感
說實在，這是部讓人看完了摸不着頭腦的一部電影。說是一部主打荒謬的電影，但卻拍得如此煞有其事。說是一部很正經的電影，但主要演員不時露出戲謔表情卻叫人認真不起來。說是一部喜劇，可是裡面卻隱藏了好一些叫人哀傷的場面。說是一部青春純愛片，可是主角年齡的設定卻處在十八廿二的尾端那種尷尬。再說，全篇看完兩人頂多也只能說有曖昧，說是愛有點太勉強。怎麼定義都不對，是說這部侯季然導演的《南方的小羊牧場》到底是什麼電影？

感觉好像被耍
昨天说过今天会有测验，所以到了今天一早就开始刨书刨到有点晕晕。不过到了学院才发觉到自己不是最迟准备的那个，有些人甚至到了测验前还没有准备（有时候他应该会来这里看，希望他鬼遮眼看不到这一段）。说回今早，读完了三分之二（总共三课，读完了两课）后，就这样懵懵懂懂（因为不知道自己懂了多少）地启程去学院咯。
因为这个讲师带人去荷兰带到“出晒名”，所以呢大家神色有点凝重，呵呵呵。不过还好，这三课还是比较common sense的，再来下一课就真的“六国大封相”了，虽然我们有超过一个星期时间准备（学院生嘛，有多少个勤劳到早一个星期准备？呵呵）。好了，到我开始读最后一课的时候，竟然发觉到，这一课竟然……比之前两课的篇幅多了两倍有多，呵呵，真的好恐怖（没专心上课的后果……）。
当然，越接近测验的时间，我们其中一班人坐在无线上网区“调戏”我们其中一个人的boy boy（压力太大需要疏解）。很奇怪的就是每次当我们在面临测验的时候我们一班人就会聚在一起，原本应该是互相讨论的，但是到了后期就变成大家不知为何笑成一团（后来变成临测验前不成文的惯例）。这次就很可怜我们“大大块”的boy boy了（因为要被我们“调戏”），不过人家还蛮乐在其中的，呵呵。
到了手拿测验纸的时候，几乎可以听到很多人的粗口呼之欲出，因为我们读到半死的那些比较theory的部分竟然一题都没有。哇，开什么玩笑，真的不知道是幸运还是不幸运咯。幸运的当然是没有出theory部分咯，但是不幸的是我们花了那么多精神去刨theory但是却一题未出。唉，真的是被她炸到没有得再炸到……

意念致殲 第十三章 （下）
送殯的這天，小月目無表情地走著，彷彿這一切事不關己。家人也道是一時間還沒有完全回覆這段記憶，也就不怎麼好意思糾纏。看著這一些哭哭啼啼的人，他忍不住地暗自詛咒著，明明就是她對感情不忠。如果只是這個就算了，惱羞成怒還把本少爺住的地方一把火燒掉是什麼意思？人財兩空那個是我都還沒哭，你們是在哭什麼鬼。

大快人心
曾经是想在这几天拍下我家附近这里的交通状况然后交去报馆，想不到有人比我先行动，在这里先感谢他们。住在USJ Area的都应该知道这个地区最近多了一家霸级市场，可是他们竟然在carpark还没建竣就迁进来营业（目前开放的据我妈说大概有200多个，但是永远是处于爆满的状态）。结果这里原本已经是很糟糕的交通状况更加搞到雪上加霜。小爷我最不爽的就是他们竟然无故封掉某U转使到我回家的那个junction大排长龙。而且这家新开的霸级市场还雇用了一群自愿警察队来管理交通，如何管理？就是把已经超级阻塞的两个车道的其中一条关闭给他们自家的顾客离开广场，真是他妈的。是的，这家购物广场就是Mydin。
