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.

法律不外乎與人情
自從覺得自己是活在幾個平行的世界後，這些日子來我一直不斷看到理應相互衝突但卻各不相干的事請。之所以平行，是因爲有一些價值觀應該是衝突的，但卻以一種常人無法理解的形式共存。比如說很多父母親很喜歡動輒拿警察來恐嚇小孩，比如說孩子不乖就用警察要來抓人了來喝止。可是當這些孩子長大後，卻從師長的教導中知道原來這些都是除暴安良的人士。可是年紀再大一點的時候，卻發現身邊朋友一一遇劫警方卻似乎束手無策。同時間就在這種恐慌中的同時，這些警察就跳出來炫耀說治安在這期間如何如何改善。

平民阿宅超级英雄传
想象一下有一天你因约不到朋友决定一个人出去逛街，决定一个人出去吹吹风免得闷在屋子里等发霉，或者是趁着这个机会好好犒赏自己一整个星期的辛劳好好吃上一顿。可是，在你肆意地在熙熙攘攘的大街上闲逛时，你的一举一动却被无数在电脑荧光幕后的那些明显需要get a life的宅男腐女观察着，盼望着或应该说巴不得你快点行差踏错好让苦闷的他们能够抓到你的那么一点错处大肆讨伐。

King Kong – 刚王
刚刚看完这部电影，据很多朋友说很感人。看预告片的时候其实并没有很想看的欲望，就算要看，都是因为导演的关系吧。我其实并不熟悉片中的三位主角，只是知道他们曾经拍过什么电影（不要问我情节，我真的不知道）。说说故事吧，其实我是觉得故事的场景如果搬到现代会比较刺激，因为搬到那个时代我不晓得那艘破船如何把这么大块头的钢王（好啦，用回金刚）运回纽约。更白痴的是，既然大家都见识过他的破坏力，凭一个破锁头就能够把它锁起来？导演也当我们太白痴了。
故事情节不见得特别特出，一个应该很感人或者很恐怖的片子不知道为什么在我眼中变成一个笑话。而且我真的很想知道片中演员们的衣服那里买的，怎么经过了这么多亡命冒险后还是那么完整（意即没穿没烂）。虫虫的部分实在太恶心了，恶心的程度让我真的如坐针毡。金刚的“战斗场面”带给我的感觉就是导演是不是在讽刺打“烂仔交”的人？怎么那场简单的大都拖了那么久，如果嫌十面埋伏的章子怡太过大命的话，那么Ann Darrow（Naomi Watts饰演）岂不是拜得神多？
很可惜，到现在未知我还不能接受剧情安排人兽恋。可是，看到最后的那一幕，我还是有一点感动。但是，我还是不能接受Carl Denham（饰演）在最后说的“美女杀死了野兽”。要不是他死不要脸把金刚搬回来，那么金刚安安分分地活在自己的世界有何不好？TNND，难得他还能大言不惭得说出这样的垃圾……Jack Driscoll（Adrien Brody饰演）说的很对，“他最擅长的就是破坏自己心爱的东西”。
总的来说，其实Jack Black是整部片子最出色的一位，他把这个导演的不要脸，白痴，和骗子的本色发挥到淋漓尽致。而编剧Jack Driscoll则有一点点木纳……女主角不懂是不是因为这部电影的关系，所以看起来真的很忧郁，但是那种表情可不可以不要一而再，再而三的重复……？顺道提一提，女主角的眼睛很漂亮，而且很多个镜头都捕抓到她的魅力。此外，Ann Darrow和编剧Jack Driscoll的对手戏太少了，如果在多一些的话，不知道据情会怎么样发展下去。
题外话：我最近miss了很多戏恰巧有两不是Adrien Brody有份参演的，分别为The Village和The Jacket，看来大概没什么机会了。我的其中一位同学不住口得说他很有魅力（也很帅），但是看来看去比他帅的人多的是，真搞不懂女生的审美标准……

悟不太道的衛塞節
昨天是紀念佛陀悟道之日，可我國卻屢次淪陷與各種人爲災禍的水深火熱之中。前面傲慢失言風波未平，後面疫苗註冊網站再出問題，再來傍晚又一記重錘——單日確診人數再創新高。連本來想趁熱鬧看個血月蝕，天空還不作美下了場雨，用灰濛濛的天似乎在嘲弄凡人如我等的作繭自縛。

選舉一起找茬去吧
接上文，上次說到整場簡報會講到中途開始餓了（欸，重點不是這個吧？），
所以接下來要講講看晚餐的內容其實是剛好說完選舉期間會發生的一些弊端和應對方式。不過來來去去，到最後一句話就能囊括了就是——賄選、賄選和賄選。好啦，該說的也說了，但如果是一位選舉觀察員Pemantau，在選舉期間發現到了這些弊端要怎麼做，就是這部份一再強調的部份。
