The Trouble With Old Men:A Day of Dilemma

Phew!Just came back from a tennis match today,and I would have to say that I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH MY PERFORMANCE.Well,It's kind of like my 1st tournament here but yeah,I have to admit,I've got a lot of work to do to be a good ballswatter.

The quality of tennis here is pretty high,not like in the field in Brunei,where you rarely get to see good stuff so yeahh.I would say I'm almost at the bottom of the list.

Ok,cut to the chase:I got into a little trouble with an old guy in a tennis match.If I were on top form,SMACK!SMACK!BANG!BANG! I'd be in and out in less and hour for two sets.But whaddeheck,who says an ol' guy can't match a young kid?My tempo was totally disrupted as his playing style was mostly lobs and slices(the least favourite type I would like to play against).Even my serve had some problems,MAJOR ONES.My statistics are as follows:2 aces(an extremely rare occurence for me,and in my 1st match in Aussie,nice....after all,I just blow the serves,but not to a point where it can't be reached) and over 10 double faults (believe me,this happens when I get an ace in a match,my serve would go all crappy.Btw I calculated my average double faults in a best-of-three match is around 5),and an equal number of winners and unforced errors(Pretty erratic.I don't really make much winners,not like today,just making my opponents get a forced error.As for unforced error,it's totally horrible....).Summary?C.R.A.P

Ah well,to make thing worse,I HAD NO BUS HOME as during the weekends,buses ends at 5.15pm and my match ended 15 minuties later,with me leading 6-4 5-2(We were required to stop playing) so I had to talk a 45 minute walk to the train station(Why trains and no bus?).well,the rest is history.

I'm feeling pretty alright now,but I guess I should relax a little more on my legs and study a lil as I have a Chinese test soon....You guys will know the date on another post in the future.Till then,Sayonara!

Walk Alone:Lost in Brisbane??!!

*sigh*I just had a long day of tennis and I'm really tired.Ah heck,nothing better to look forward to than a good night's sleep.But 1st I have to get on the bus and get home...

Boy oh boy,when I come on the,the bus went off earlier,and when I'm early,it's late...

Heck,the bus was suppose to come at 6.25pm,but my bottom was kept happy for half an hour before the bus came....Adn just when I thought I'm going home....I was dropped halfway through as a result of the driver ending her shift there..ARGH!!

Had to wait,and it wasn't long before another bus came.Not the usual one I took AND YEAH...i got lost!Geez....Winded around and ended up half a kilometre of dark road away from my supposed rendzenvous....

Well,here I am now,writing this post and my story for English(finally something good).I apologise for nothing much happened today so yeahh...Gome-deshi!!T.T Anyways see ya soon!

GIRL TROUBLE!!

Ok,I'll admit:Since I got to Brisbane I have definitely been avoiding girls.Reason?
1)Not interested
2)All boys school is my place.I find it odd to see girls so I just didn't bother.
3)Go to a beach and you'll die at the sight of people sunbathing and half-naked men

Well,these tactics went fine until yesterday,when....

Well,my usual bus ride home is around 330pm.Took two seats(I know I'm greedy but my stuffs are HUMONGOUS!!)And sat back,relax and enjoy the bus ride.Somewhere along the route.3 *eck*girls came up on the bus.Well..I didn't bother and just looked out the window but somehow I felt like a total dumbo doing so when they *waved* at me for no apparent reason and giggled as I ignored them.One of them went over to my front view and I just looked a little towards my left window.(really a pathetic moron right now).I find it odd for someone who's unknown be fearless enough to start up a conversation with me,as I'm *wearing* some scowl on my face like a bull terrier XD.Here's how it went:

Girl 1:What grade are you in?
Me:11....
Girl 1:You know any one from grade 9?
Me:*didn't heard*I'm sorry?
Girl 1:You know any one from grade 9?
Me:No,sorry
Girl 2:Did you went to Taylor Camp?
Me(clueless):Huh?I don't know any camp,sorry
Girl 1:You have any friends in class?
Me:No,not really,I'm a loner..
Girl 1:Why?
Me:Just got here from Brunei about 3 weeks ago so yeah,I'm new here.It's not unusual to be a loner when you're new,no?
Girl 1(Extremely inquisitive):Where's Brunei?
Me:About 7000 kilometres from here on Borneo Island
Girl 1:Oh....

By my estimation they'e Grade 10 and are around the same age like me.But since I'm Grade 11,I suppose they think I'm older since I'm wearing that Robert De Niro scowl on my face.XD

Ah well,I still can't figure out why would they start a convo in the 1st place....but yeah,one of em gave me a wave as I watch the bus went past the green light near the bus stop.Whaddeheck,you can't pretend,no?I just gave a half-hearted ,raise one hand bye......

Down In Darkness:VEI 6

Life is a pretty pathetic thing.What's wrong with people around the world.I know the stock market's plunging,the economy's bad,and recently a 13 year old had his pathetic little wiener help to produce his own son.What is missing in everyone's minds?Why is it not arranged?Why would ANYONE IN THE EARTH CARE ABOUT MONEY AND JOBS BEFORE WHAT THEY HAVE?

Think carefully.We all came from love,then why throw it away just to think that we have to survive with jobs?What for??!!If you throw love away,it wouldn't be easy to get it back.Perhaps because of the work hours a person would spend much less time with his family members.Soon he/she would be strained,and chose to go for work to leave the happiness behind.What for??!!Life is full of "ifs".What if you lost your job after you lose your family?What if your child was on another country being beaten up at his school while you were halfway on a flight to somewhere else for negotiation with some Middle East investors?And WHAT IF YOUR WHOEVER-IT-IS FOUND ANOTHER PERSON AND HAD AN AFFAIR RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE AND YOU DIND'T KNOW IT BECAUSE YOU WERE SOME OBESSIVE WORKAHOLIC THINKING YOU'RE DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR YOUR FAMILY BUT INSTEAD IT WAS JUST FOR YOURSELF??!!IT'S UTTERLY PATHETIC!!

I don't really mean to spit it out to you guys but apparently I've just suffered a breakdown.What a child longs for is care,NOT DISCOURAGEMENT.Parents shouldn't just chide their kids whenever they lost at something.Didn't they know that there's no fairytale?Believe me,you can't win em all,neither can you succeed all the time on the first try.Honestly,I'll share it with you all:Did you know that I have a 75% chance of losing to a girl in a tennis match during the 1st meeting?Really,3 out of 4 times have I lost in the 1st encounter and 2/3 of them are younger than me,but it takes time to learn how to overcome problems.It's a definite fact you won't necessarily win either on the 2nd try.It might take forever,but it COULD NOT be done without encouragement.Seriously,what's wrong with losing to a girl,no?And even Federer can fall to some unknown guy who's ranked WAYY below him.

For me,I would really like to see what people think,because that's what's affecting me.I need,and I mean I REALLY need people here to help me through this,because sometimes I just couldn't stand it.Why do something that doesn't give pleasure in life,but just makes you rely on money to survive?I mean would you rather die a depressed person with secret Swiss bank accounts or risk your life in something you love,you care even though others consider it penniless?

I really don't know people,but I've been fully stressed these past few days.I know earth cannot live without violence,the why does the words "hope" and "peace" exist?

The Beginning
