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.

理想國民
這幾天都沒怎麼看新聞，所以看到社交網站上有人在發表台灣大學生佔領立法院（相等我們國會）時嚇了一大跳。後來從當地人的討論，也發現有黨團背景的媒體都在大肆批判學生如此這般的行為。可悲的是，這種新聞我們馬來西亞人應該也熟口熟面了。從之前的佔領獨立廣場，到反稀土廠蒐集簽名的活動就略知一二。若當官的都把這些人當做是刁民，那對他們而言良民是什麼？

门徒
不知道为什么这部电影一定要取名为门徒，感觉上门徒这个词儿已经有点脱节的味道。见鬼的是，这个词儿却是如此贴切，虽然片中并没有人以门徒去称呼吴彦祖。上次说到我看到新传媒星霖的logo有点错愕，到现在为止仍然很错愕。不知道是不是因为整部电影的氛围都偏向灰暗，所以我们会一直看到好几幕灰暗的天。最大的惊喜，大概是算尔东升的出现，而且戏份看起来还不少的样子。

什么时候出门都是个错~
天啊，巴生谷的人民到底要到什么时候才能够摆脱塞车的困扰？难道要等到太阳不再耀眼，雪山开始崩塌，河水不再川流，空气变成毒气，然后石油耗尽，到时候就不用塞车了，因为大家都不能活了。说真的，住在这里，我不说别的地方，就只说Subang Jaya好了，不知道是不是我倒霉，还是真的那么仆街，就真的什么时候出门，都会有塞车的问题。不知道那个无脑的人说过塞车是繁荣的象征，我相信他如果来Subang Jaya亲自驾驶一个星期，不要有人来开路，就算有人来开路，也未必有用，嘿嘿，我肯定他会把所有刊登那句话的报纸杂志，甚至用来浏览过那句话的电脑全部吞进去。

新年将近，人人发钱寒？
不知道大家是不是因为新年快到手头开始紧，所以我在GP看到了两个非常莫名其妙的主题。而无独有偶的是，两者都是牵涉到钱。紫雨的post虽然有说出是为什么，但是横看竖看，都可能看得出这很可能不是真正的原因。我说很可能的原因是，未来的事情他怎么能预测到，除非他事先知。当然，我不能排除他真的是先知，但是可能性非常的渺茫。我从昨天晚上开始问他，但是到现在为止还没有任何的消息，搞什么嘛……更加玄的是，他竟然是要你的RM14罢了。最匪夷所思的，是那一句
我的工作是募捐善心人士的善念，成就你们的福田。这笔钱，我会不会还你已经不重要了，因为你好事都作了，还求回报吗？
除了神经病我真的不知道如何回应了。就算是捐给慈善机构我也有权利知道的，不是吗？不然我真的宁愿把钱丢进咸水海，至少还有那么一声”dome”好听。
接下来最新的个案，就是GoyCP弟弟了，不知道搞什么，毫无预兆之下，他MSN上问我怎么样在本月25日钱赚到RM50-150。天啊，除非他找一个聚宝盆，然后丢一张RM1进去等它自我复制（卫斯理看太多的缘故），不然我不相信钱可以在短短的5天内挣回来。或许你可以说找人借他，但是在不知道原因的情况下，除了贵利谁要做这个蚀本生意？再说，他也很明确的表示，他不要借回来的。晕倒啊，叫他去做part time的话，那么5天内可以挣到多少呢？我想要hit到RM50的target应该不是大问题，但是人家发薪水也不会是25日吧，都是要等到大概27-8号吧。况且你还只是一个刚刚上工大概5天的小伙子。
天啊，两个加起来就是一个中年老翁的人突然间那么发钱寒，到底是为了什么？真的是搔破头都不知道搞什么……在看这个blog的老板们，如果手头上有多余的现钱没处花，其实可以考虑给一些他们的，我以我家里旺财的狗头担保，他们是绝对信任得过的。

意念致殲 第十一章 （下）
還沒等到開鎖的聲音響起，小月就已經把門打開了。看著臉色有些異樣的男友，她先是怔了一下，就跟著告別了護送回家的上司。同時間，不知怎的心卻突然間緊張、忐忑了起來。門才一關上，一轉身迎來的就是已經漲成一片紫紅的臉色。還沒來得及反應，小雨的雙肩已經給緊緊抓住了。這時才知道害怕，可是這看來陌生的男人突然間似乎變得那麼陌生，像是曾經在什麼地方見到過。
