why firewall?!

My computer is seriously out of date. the system files are not properly updated, thus it's more prone to virus attacks from the internet. What can i do? Windows update won't work for me. No proper P2P programs are used as well since they can't run with firewall turned on. Thus it leaves my computer more vulnerable to attacks! Despite the fact that a firewall's function is to protect us from intrusions. And now i can't update my computer to be more 'healthy'...WHY??!

The internet in a University is vastly for surfing, chatting and downloading stuff from a website selected. For your information, we can't use the webcam with users outside Uniten's boundaries... so we can only see one another amongst Uniten colleagues, which some of us has seen one another one too many times per day. So it's kinda crappy, and lousy as well. Since we can't use programs such as Skype to communicate with users outside Uniten, especially those who are going overseas. So there's no more reason for those who's staying in hostel to get themselves a webcam and a headphone, since they can't chat with other people except within their University. Unless of course, they choose to stay outside University, which also has its pros and cons.

(all the above are written plainly because i'm fed up with the University's can't-meet-students'-required-connectivity server)

AND blardy hell two days after i typed the above, Uniten suffered a server breakdown. which is why I'm declared MIA for the past few days. No internet=mati, it's bored when u got nothing else to do. Even when u need to contact your frens within the U, u have to use the alternative way : SMS.. quite tedious eh? yeah~ and money consuming... -.-"

i do beg everyone's pardon for not updating this blog as frequent as i could. Recent events has taken a toll on my health.. mainly lack of sleep.. more and MORE assignments... sheessh... i can basically write the word 'assignments' without spelling it wrongly.

Now... to send away one of my friends to U.K. and his name is BUDAK! XD
