Hey guys!!I suppose you were surprised I went out for the weekend.Well,there wasn't much of a story to tell,just me winning some and losing some.I don't have school today due to the Queen's b'day so yeahh,feels good to be back,and it DOESN'T as well....
Summary of my weekend:UBER-COOL.The story was funny before the journey even started.
Day 1:
1500
-Head straight for the tennis club in nudgee where my mum was waiting to grab my school stuff and I got my clothes.Met T.J who was sent to pick me and my friend Alex up.I thought she was Melissa because of her voice,but the confusion makes sense because T.J was born in Indonesia...
1510
-Alex still hasn't turned up yet.He's a boarder,so that's strange
1520
-Still no sign of him,where could he be?T.J starts to call around...
1530
-Who's that guy walking?Right....Alex,where did you go?"Oh,I though there was a big bus coming" HA-HA we're the only 2 people here to be picked up......
1540-1630(In car)
-T.J is sooooo coool!!!Played in Brunei with Samantha Stosur(friend of T.J's as well) in doubles and won,went to Nick Boletteri's Academy in Florida,trained there for 2 years and WAS MARIA SHARAPOVA'S ROOMATE!!How awesome is that!!Only to discover "Scream Queen" has a secluded personality.Maria,Maria.....T.J also played at the main draw of the Australian Open in 2006.Sweet!!Too bad she can't play for now because of surgery,but hope she plays soon!!
1630-1715
-Reached rendzenvous and met Graeme(coach) along with 3 kids,2 boys and a girl.Guess who's the most senior in the group:ME.Gosh,I gotta play big brother now.....ALEX,HELP ME!!!
Later,1900
Reached Gold Coast for dinner.Ate marinara,mmmmmm
2100
Arrived at Graeme's parent's house where we would stay for the next 3 nights.Found out I shared a room with Alex and there's onl one bed.T.J brings out an airbed and when I finished pumping,she said:"Ta-dah!!Here's for you to sleep in!!"A Bratz blanket...wow......
2115
Sleep time for all of us,so early...Oh well...Bratz,here I come....
Day 2(Skip practice times,they're all boring)
0915
GAME ON!!Match on court 6,PLAY BALL!!
1000
Game,set to me 6-4
1030
Great,I feel sooo unenergised....2nd set 0-6....fantastic....
1120
Hopped like a bunny,stung like a bee,he can't see the ball when it's hit by me!!6-2 XD.Next match,his buddy(no,really) the no.1 seed(makes it worse)
1230
HEre's goes nothing....
1315
Yep,nothing....totally thrashed....double bagel for me....as expected from the top seed.What bad luck I have....Mum talks to me trying to explain my wrongs(she doesn't even show a hint of praising even when I won).My reply?"I'd rather go for a winner than let him make me play fetch"Graeme helps me in this one.Didn't feel bad losing at all....as long as I mhave the right mindset.Oh well,there's still the cnsolation...
1400
Graeme took me out to see the others.Alex out in the round of 64(mine's round of 16)by 8th seed.Other's also didn't went well,all went out in the early rounds
1700
Time for my consolation match....WHAT??!!!THE NO.2 SEED IN THE MAIN DRAW??!!Oh right...the one who dumped me out of the round of 16 in Warwick 3 months ago in my 1st tourney(this is my 2nd).We got along well,we knew each other,so we had fun(killer fun)
1830
Match finished,he won 6-2 6-2.But it was a really good one actually.Ran out butts off all around the court.He even got a full game hitting winners....hmph!!Had reallllyyyy loooonnnnngggg rallies,and I had cramps towards the end......felt happy,but knew I could have hit harder.
2000
Graeme rushes to pick Larissa,the girl,after she was alone in another tennis site.Oh man.....Good thing I was in the car.I made all the lights green when needed.T.J picks up Jack and Evan,the boys..
2100
Turns out our group didn't do that bad.Alex got into the round of 16 consolation and round of 16 doubles,Jack and Evan got into doubles round of 16 as well but didn't fare well in singles,Larissa got into quarters insingles and round of 16 in doubles.All will be playing tomorrow except.....the blogger now...*sigh* he didn't have doubles...T.J's gotta go back to Brissie.Awww,will miss her......
2130
Night again.....
Day 3:
-Sat the whole day watching tennis.........Alex lost on quarters on both consolation and doubles(he got points and rankings ARGH) and had a little controversy,Jack and Evans muscled their way to doubles finals tomorrow and Larissa lost in doubles quarters.....two new accomplices for tennis wathing tomorrow.Kuzzy(Kuznetsova) won!!WOOHOO!!How's that,mum?You got it wrong XD Safina's not ready yet.I'd say the US Open...ate risotto agnello(I just love Italian) and bought a mag.Twilight lovers??SOOO not true....
Today,Day 4
-Once more sat and watched tennis and had fun with Alex and Larissa on the car park,played some games,watched some matches,goofed around."You're mine"Larissa jokes,head on my shoulder.Speechless:"errrrrrr...." haha before the 3 of us swung like a collapsing building
Evan and Jack lost in finals,good stuff though,must be the snakes candy that make them better haha.
That sums up my trip.I'm gonna miss em all.....Eclipse still not finished yet(DON'T YOU EVER,GEORGE!!)But here's the review for book2
New Moon
3.5/5
While the 1st one was kinda bland,this one's more melodramatic.Ed doesn't appear much(a bad thing) and that's replaced by Jacob.In the end,the reader got what he/she wanted:STUPID EDWARD!!followed by tears lol
That's all for now,hope you all enjoy your hols!!(While I'm here still on tests....)
