Which is why I think this is a suitable title for my first blog entry. Finally succumbed to peer pressure and started my first ever blog. Actually, not exactly my first. Tried once somewhere but only had 2 entries in total I think. Quite a lousy attempt. Wonder how long this one's gonna last... :/

I'm not exactly the type of person who would write diaries or blogs, definitely not the type of person to confide in others or let the WHOLE WORLD know what's going on in my mind (I value my privacy extremely thank you very much), but I suppose there's no harm in writing down stuff once in a while. Quite fun to read back what I would've been thinking in the past. Although I did read somewhere that writing diaries/blogs has been shown to have no effect whatsoever on the happiness or well-being of an individual. Even though the individual believes that writing down his/her thoughts of the day would be beneficial to them (probably something like a channel for venting out stress and frustration) in truth it might actually cause more adverse effects e.g. reading back about a past ex- which probably would make that person even more depress. Oh well, gotta take some chances sometimes, lol

Actually, I tried writing on my Windows Live Space, but for some reason I just couldn't. Even tried using the Help service but to no avail. Obviously I'm lagging behind technology, very not updated, haha. I figured if I use MySpace at least someone I know would be able to read my blog by chance without me telling them. Then I thought of using Yahoo! 360 but feels like not many people I know uses it, so I decided against it. In the end I tried this, hopefully it works fine. Don't feel like letting everyone I know I have a blog but at the same time I don't feel like writing without anyone knowing, so contradicting >.<

Damn, still suffering from "jet-lag" though it's already been a week. Seriously sick of this. Stupid UK time. Or maybe I just don't want to sleep. Well, not really. I'm always tired and sleepy, but I just can't sleep >.<

The past week has been freaking boring. ZzzZzz.. Raining everyday, waking up late everyday, no car, no company, aih.. Definitely not my ideal holiday. This is so different from what I had in mind. Thought of going swimming or waking up early everyday to play with my dogs or something and doing some studying everyday. Alas, things are always far from ideal. Managed to do some "studying" but my pace is still a bit too slow, won't be able to finish my quota for the holiday if I don't crank up the gear... Shouldn't forget about the other stuff that needs to be taken care of too..

Decided to cancel my plans to do any volunteering or placements. I figured if I'm not coming back next year, I probably should spend more time with my dogs. I mean, it's very contradicting (again) if I go around volunteering to help other animals when I don't even take good care of my pets, definitely a huge disgrace if everyone knows about it.. Plus I should try to train Diamond a bit, or else my mom's gonna be exhausted trying to take care of her. Stupid dog, freaking annoying >.<

Room's leaking again, dang... It's so annoying. Thought I could come back to my own room where I can finally relax, but no.. Always leaking, haiz.. Hope there's not gonna be downpour like last time. At least there's no bedbugs anymore, haha. Being very repetitive, but things never seem to happen the way it should be..

Getting lazy with all the typing, though I still got loads to talk about (Well, can't really blame me for such a long blog, I've never properly written down my thoughts afterall) I shall continue at a later time. To sum things up-->

Goal for this summer holiday:
1. Lose weight so I can wear my jeans again
2. Do some swimming
3. Cure my back pain
4. Train Diamond to be more obedient
5. Play with Diamond, Fifi and Ruby
6. Go to KK to meet Tiffany
7. Study
8. Finish EMS forms
9. Bake? lol
10. Clean up my house, it's a huge mess!
11. Drive at least once?

Mission Impossible? I hope not, lol!
