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.

道德人性真的非黑即白麼？
不知道是不是那個角色太深如民心，我剛開始寫這篇文章還以爲這是我第一次看Hugh
WolverineJackman演時裝片。可是因爲實在太好奇了，這傢伙不可能近幾年只是靠Wolverine過活的（事實上其實他應該可以），所以翻一翻才發現還有這部Real Steel（看過但沒寫影話就是）。之前暑假檔我錯過了讓他大紅的角色自傳片續集，但是跟朋友看Riddick時看到這部片子的預告片正好對胃口所以一直都在念着要去看。 -
新界面来也
新界面大概已经差不多能用了，现在正在整理到Wordpress版本（可能你在看着的时候我已经开始公开测试新界面了）。如果你等不及的话，可以点击我，或者我先睹为快。必须注意的是，里面的连接全部都不能够点击，因为全部都是没有效的。和目前的这个界面相比，新的界面应该看起来比较束缚，个人也比较喜欢新的界面，因为感觉比较“好消化”一些。好消化的原因是少了很多背景颜色（因为我不是Designer，所以对颜色并不很敏感），也少了很多机会让颜色破坏大家的视力（少了颜色的代价就是单调的界面咯）。

血淋淋的外拍课
今天是整个摄影课程的最后一次外拍（虽然日后如果有外拍可以随行啦……），而拍摄的地点就在闻名已久的半山芭巴刹。既然地点是这个，那么很自然的就意味着就是我很怕的街拍啦。虽然很多人都说被拍的人会远比相机之后的人害怕，可是在我还没有打破很害怕去拍人的心理障碍之前，街拍的确还是对我来说是目前最顶点的难题……Anyway，说到外拍，那么就是说接下来爆多图，请小心点击……

私生活零分
如果私生活有分数的话，那么我这段期间，尤其是四月三十日开始到现在，最高的得分肯定是零分。怎么说呢？因为如果分数有负数的话，那我肯定是负分。忙些什么忙到连私生活都要配上？除了一大部分用来实习，睡觉之外，其它时间有好大一段的一半是用来做功课，另一半是被我老爸用掉（帮他处理一些文书的东西），还有一部分用来微调我laptop刚装的ubuntu feisty fawn，最后剩下的一小小小部分，是给我自己发呆的，而发呆的时候，通常是我临睡前睡不着的那段时间。
