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.

第三者
有时候，当我火滚到必须要找地方发泄，或者upset到必须要宣泄我心中的不满的时候，第一个地方，就是我的这一个blog。如果对事情的不满倒还好，但是如果牵涉到人的话，往往会让我很难做。当然同样的难题，也发生在我想写一些让我的心情很愉快的事情。因为牵涉到第三者的事情，我不敢，也不可以把他的身份就这样抖出来。这样对他的隐匿权，有极大的侵犯。可是这些东西又犹如鱼骨哽喉，不吐不快。要怎么样子解决呢？熟悉我的blog的人都知道，我很少很少，除非是得到当事人的批准，都很少很少（说很少是因为我怕自己曾经犯过这个错误，毕竟我只是个凡人）把当事人的名字透露出来。

致命秘密 完结篇
一桶冷水哗啦啦就这样泼到海文身上，这时候海文的倒数时刻也近乎归零了。仍然迷糊中，被两个大汉挟持着的海文看着面前的女人，只见到穿了一身天蓝色的她正注视着鱼缸里面不断游动的小鲨鱼。逐渐恢复力气的海文一面看着她，一面在伺机反攻。只是，还没等到他动手，张君就冷冷地道：“放了他！”

洗涤不了心灵，徒增满腹的愤怒与附赠之惆怅
认识我的人大概都知道我家卖冰橱的，所以我很冷*误*。说实在，早上遇到吉安的时候，他问我为什么这么热血，我只记得我答了我只是一介良民说不上热血只是来行街之了的话。事实上，我真的是这样想的。虽然我不狂热，但是我关心我手中一票的重量，我希望我的一票是足以让候选人重视，而不是沦为选委会操弄的棋子。是怎么听怎么卑微没错，但当人民如果要一而再，再而三低声下气，得不到回应，会愤怒，我想是正常的。

清晨
有多久没有这么早（清晨五点半）起身了？我想没有几年都有几个月了吧。这几天玩过最有趣的游戏，要算是WTJ无端要我玩的太委屈歌唱游戏了。这个游戏正在以超龟速蔓延中，毕竟不是每个人都是那么空闲+随便的，所以我在找人参与的时候可以说是碰了一鼻子灰。到目前为止，已经差不多有五六个人唱了（而我自己也发布了两个版本），如果你想知道是谁的话，欢迎到这个post查询。而有趣的是，这个游戏也渐渐得到一些人的注意，甚至还有人为此写了一个blog post（差点被我spam karma吃掉了，歹势啦，呵呵呵呵）。

警察伯伯，你在做麼？
上星期六正義大報的頭條看了很是讓我火大，雖然這幾年的新聞本來就叫人看了很光火。由於我沒有太留意新聞，所以認知裏警方對治安的評價一直都不錯（好過那些落後國家）。可是那天的報章頭條新聞，說起來乍一看調子還是一樣的。可是那篇新聞重點不在吹噓，而是警長希望重設內安法令改善治安。這麼說來，警方是終於承認自己的無能必須靠內安法令來維持社會秩序麼？
