『這次就不玩這麼大了,就他吧。』
轉眼間,這句話從女郎口中說出來已經是二十多年前的事情了。這次的見面,有點像是中場統計檢討雙方在這場賭局的勝算。這男生能如此堅強地活到了現在可說是奇蹟,儘管人生中面對了那麼多次的波折。雖然還在那麼小的時候經歷了喪親之痛,可是卻仍然無阻他走向光明的前程。
我本人沒什麼看電視,這對很多人來說大概不是什麼新鮮事情了。不過家中二老倒還是有在看港劇的,所以有時候還是不免會看一點。這兩個星期,由於終於就業的關係所以黏在電視機前的機率就更少了。不過這陣子電視上倒是播放了一部看起來挺有趣的港劇,乍一看質感與過去的港劇有所差別。雖然也說不上有追,但是大概的故事倒是還是可以說一說的就是。
正面點來說,華人遺傳的稱呼系統是很可愛的。可是反面,相較與很多其他民族文化,這稱呼的系統真的有點太累贅了一點。結果,每年尤其是新年期間,就是驗收一個人記憶力的時候。如果不想死背稱呼,那麼首先要記得的是這個人到底是誰誰誰的孩子。想起來後,就要根據族譜的排行調出這個人應當要稱呼什麼。如果一時想不到,而長輩又不在身邊,然後又剛好對方也摸不着頭腦的時候,那麼應該每戶一本的通勝就派上用場了。
今天除了海角七号我也透过卫星电视看到了另一部算是相当瞩目的片子——集结号。集结号乍一听我还真的是什么军船的故事怎么知道此号非彼号,乃号角的那个号呢。故事其实是讲述一群倒霉鬼是怎么在一个国家的机制下让自己光荣牺牲的战绩失而复得的故事。故事基本分成两个部分,第一个部分是战争的部分,第二个部分是寻找身份的故事。
本人出席同志友善的活動次數不多,在這裏記錄最後大概是好幾年前邵祺邁先生過來談台灣同運的二三事。後來零零散散也去過幾個,但錯過的更多。錯過的其中一個原因是,很多時候因爲出席者仍未出櫃的原因會有一些限制(比如說不能拍照之類的)。不過終歸到底,不過也是自己很懒,也不太喜歡出席人多的場合啦。
(more…)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.
