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.

让人情不自禁的巴黎
嘴巴一直说着很久没有看电影，实情是本少爷已经没有那种闲情在放工后经过一个小时半的车程再去看电影。今天得感谢这部电影最后一天上映所以终于打破没时间这种烂借口赶去看了这部应该算是叫座的电影。可能是最后一天上映的关系，所以整间电影院挤满了人潮，相比上次在应该算是同一间theater内看的《鸟屋》简直就是差天共地。基本上这部电影是个大杂烩，掺杂着总共18部短片，总片长应该接近两小时。

意念致殲 第九章 （上）
今天的天氣甚是晴朗，那陽光之燦爛像是今天附贈溫暖一樣。從遠處看去，草原的上空滿是粉紅粉藍色的氣球在飄蕩著。可是在遠處看不到的是，在那團氣球之下，卻正上演著逃難記。明明是個婚禮，怎麼一轉眼變成了眼前的這個災難？為什麼突然間要為了活命，不得不用一切力氣擺脫身後的這個怪物？見勢頭不對的賓客早就四散，剩下的只有對新娘窮追不捨的一隻怪獸。

又一个死掉
不知怎么搞得，最近看的电影都很血腥。The Prestige死了大概超过一百个人，然后今天终于看到的无间道也死了很多人。两部电影都不约而同的来一个很大的冲击搞到我有点，怎么说呢，我也形容不上那种感觉，就是很不舒服（但不致于惊栗）。港版的我也只不过看了第一集罢了，个人觉得如果真的要比的话，今天看的鬼佬版本真的很鬼鬼feel。不知道怎么说，感觉上虽然是说大概一样的故事，但是我还是比较喜欢港版的。或者尝试不要比较吧，这样会比较公平一些涅，故事的大纲都一样，只不过结局有一些不同，哦，我又在比较了。

算命•十一
平行世界，其实简单来说跟我们身处的现实世界非常的相似，如果不把我们这群预言者根本不存在于这个世界里这一点考虑进去的话。换句话说，虽然一切都很相似，但是预言者是根本不存在于这个平行世界里面的。大家都在问如果世界少了自己会发生什么事，可是对预言者们来说，少了他们的世界却根本一点关系都没有。

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。
