Oooopppsss...

Sorry that I forgot about the promise that I would continue to write last night. But never mind, I don't think you care anyway :P

Just now I went to a local electircal store to get a light tube to replace the old one. And naturally I had a look at what softwares they are selling. And I just notice that almost half of the shelves is filled with antivirus softwares. Now I think these company should thank microsoft for its popularity :P

What I thought was that, there are in fact many free alternatives out there. Here is a list of some of them which I have tried:

Antivirus:

  1. AVG Antivirus
    http://free.grisoft.com/
    I'm using this :D

  2. Avast! Antivirus
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
    You need to register every year... although it is free

  3. ClamAV
    Official site: http://www.clamav.net/
    Windows port: http://www.clamwin.net/
    An open source software. Under development now but I think it will be highly usable in the near future. So be sure to check it out frequently.



Firewalls:

  1. ZoneAlarm
    http://www.zonelabs.com/
    This is certainly my choice! Since it doesn't nag on me :P For power users, the following two maybe better :)

  2. Kerio Personal Firewall
    http://www.kerio.com/kpf_download.html
    An alternative

  3. Sygate Personal Firewall
    http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm
    Another alternative.



If you can't find the one you like, just search for "Free antivirus firewall" on google :D

Enjoy the free world!!!

Gulugulugulu....

Now ignore the title since it doesn't bear much meaning.

There is an old Chinese saying, "Bitter now and sweet later". It means suffer now so that you can enjoy later. But what about enjoy now and enjoy again later? Of course you have to do your planning so that you can spread your bitterness evenly but not focusing it on one spot.

Oh, my room is getting hot so I am going. See ya. Perhaps will write the rest tonight, and perhaps not.

Bye bye.

A good idea (- -!)

It is so HOT~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!

If someone has ever invented a time machine, I have thought of a good way to use! First, you make a hole that connect to the space on the other time on your wall. Then, set the destination time to which it connects a winter time. Then, the cold air would flow throw the hole to your room! With this, you don't need a heater in winter, too!!!

Arrggghh... how brilliant I am.... (_ _!)

To all my busy friends...

I have so many busy friends around me. What about you? Everybody just seems that s/he is so occupied by his/her studies, by his/her work, by whatever s/he is busy with. But why am I always the luckiest one who doesn't "seem" busy at all? Well, I think I am "optimally" busy. Have enough work to keep me busy, yet with a little time left for myself to enjoy my live. Good luck to those busy ones. I hope they will have their rewards for all their hard work :)

Today I would like to talk about the topic "Being Happy". I once told my friend, when he was miserable, that you can be happy anytime when you want to be. Of course he opposed to this idea and thought that I was crazy(Ok, I added this one... :P) But come to think about it, is that actually something that prevent you from being happy all the time? "Being happy" is just a state of your feelings. You feel good. If you insist to be happy, will anything outside you can stop you? Ya, maybe there are. This is a world full of challenges. Challenges that prevent you from being happy. But if you simply insist on being happy. Nothing can stop you :D Just like nothing can help you if you want to feel sad and miserable.

We often hear that one "can't help feeling bad", but I would hope that someday somebody would tell me that, s/he "can't help feeling happy" :D Isn't that nice?
