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.

意念致殲 第六章 （上）
『爸爸媽媽看到了我成績冊的那個剎那，都不禁喜上眉梢。』
這是前幾天看的一篇作文範文中的一段，主要的內容是講述作者成績變好的過程。從一個老師看了都頭疼的孩子，怎樣過於貪玩後來以勤補拙的心路歷程。作文的最後，就停在父母親欣慰的看到成績冊的那個剎那。小男孩告別老師後，在回家路上歡快地跳躍著。腦海中一面會想著這範文的內容，也一面想著母親看了這成績會作何反映。

真的有人造的天堂吗？
今天想说个故事，其实是闷在心里很久急需释放的，不然这样谷住搞不好哪一天还没爆炸我就先爆肥了这样……故事是这样的，那是一个不太远之前的故事，虽然算起来可能也是百多年前的事情。当时是一个很匪夷所思的年代，诡异的程度几乎是我们这群肠肥满脑的现代人所难以理解的——那是一个吃树皮的年代。是，请放下你手上油腻腻的炸鸡（过去的一天我吃了两顿炸鸡，快肥到秒爆），再看清楚那是一个吃树皮的年代，是很困苦的好吗？

微意興闌珊的2021
其實這幾年都是這個狀態吧，呵呵。我昨天想了一陣子，說實在有點不想寫這篇文。去年的這天，我整個人因為限行令困在家悶得慌，今年則是剛剛脫離年頭再度實施的限行令。不過好在現在一切都在軌道上，不如去年的脫序，這樣也算是一種好事吧。

同志，你可以俾点火吗？
最近从一群同学中看到人家对我的观点，个人觉得是相当的有趣所以选择记录下来作为以后的借镜。上个星期，我因故缺席早上的课，就有一群同学趁我不在问了女王一个关于我的问题。那个问题是：“Jeff的性取向是什么？”。很直接哦？或许你会很不解为什么会有如此的问题，作为background reading，我建议你读一读这一篇。然后我就需要交代一下我们班的一种风气，除了模仿讲师为乐外，我们班还有一个很有趣的一个“风俗”，虽然只是八分五个半的人参与（我就是那半个人）。比如说，每当我们班上的M4（不是F4）微服出巡的时候（就是在课堂和课堂之间穿梭，或者赶着去吃午餐的时候），因为我院贵为婚姻介绍所的美誉的关系（在我看来是啦啦集中地），所以美女特别多。
