Road to UQ

felt very "in peace" (not "resting", mind you) when I took a test route to UQ solo.Loved it.Feel better already XD

R.I.P

"Rehab In Progress", NOT "Rest In Peace".I'd love to if I had much less stress...

Dad's still on moneytalk and it's blowing by brains out. It's pretty ironic considering how mad he was ranting about not making much $$ in environmental management and a few days ago we visited a friend of his and he was behing the idea of getting a job related to the fields of environment. Nice try dad, but don't push your luck too much. I won't be worrying much about the money, but you'd better start thinking about the effects of your engineering projects or you'll face a very unusual boot in the future =.=

Anyways, decade is almost up, might as well post some top 10's.Hopefully I'll get em done before 2010.

Ciao

Same ol' thing, brand new day..

Dad's still insane.....parents don't get the fact that they're not the ones playing.....very screwed up head right now....Actually almost served one at his knee when he wasn't looking.....Will post plenty of "Best and worst of the decade" lists in the next few days..

Georgie

T'is no longer a season for me to be jolly....

Actually, I have lots of things to say right now, but I'll just vent out the TNT that I currently have in my system.

 Mostly, it's about dad.If his money talk wasn't enough,he repeats the same story over again.Talks about how much earned and spent,jobs at Mac(and I thought he got smarter,.....),talks with his friends over the phone and mostly included me as a "waste of money" and last but not least, gave me 3 months in tennis.WTF(There,I used it.Just felt I had to..),2 years,1 year and now 3 months,you certainly have your mind rewired every time.He had an argument with mum which annoyed me in bed..And called me out past midnight just to give me some "emomoneytalk" about his life.Blah,so much stress was in my system I couldn't be bothered to shed a tear like I used to.It no longer works on me, and that same thing happened in watching the movie(just posted the review).enjoyed it,but didn't divert me from my main goal.

Yes, and today he's getting a car so he could bring me out to court.And 2 days ago he actually said he wanted to play against me.He continued on,boasting about how his dad booted him out of the table tennis team(Gramps was a state coach) and he came back and "killed" every one of gramp's students.Honestly, I don't really care if I were gramps,dad, but you getting kicked out tells me something.And if you even dare to step on the court with me on the other end, I might not guarantee your safety.

Your use of the word "kill" is more of a sign that you're one sick man. I don't like that word. And that's why if you really are gonna play against me today, I'm more than happy enough to bust your knees (he's had surgery there..) and make you play until you have found the right answer to my question: "What makes a sportsman continue to play?". Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if most of you, like "dad" would reply that the desire to win is the one. However, I have my own opinion. I mean, why does someone of no ranking or a pro who's in the 1000's continue to play, even if there's not much prizemoney or they can't get past the first round in some big tournaments?Surely it can't be winning that keeps em going,because they don't win much.And if they don't win much, then the desire to win is sapped out of them, and there wouldn't be any point in playing.

I reckon it has something to do with love for the game. One musn't think of winning. He/she should be glad that they've got to where they are and no matter what happens, avoid the temptation of wins in favour of the love for the game.

But it's hard to change someone. While I stand by this principle,mum and dad are trying to force me their own because that's what they think I should be focused on :winning. Two words: ****you (not sure if it's the "f" word...). They're expecting wins,wins and more wins,and now have lost sight of how I come to play this sport.Yes, they might be true, but the roots shouldn't be cut or the plant will die..

There's actually more...Dad pressing me to get a scholarship(my grades are solid, but I know I can do it.This country on the other hand.....Gah,you know,skin tones.....),but I'm done for now.Apologies for not saying anything to you guys this season, but I'll try to send something to everyone (via e-mail..).For now, I'm h*ll-bent on getting dad straight,or I'll just bust his knees and not let him drive the car until he find the answer.if he doesn't,he's probably not gonna see me much longer..

The Proposal

4.5/5

Honestly, the best movie I've watched in '09.No doubt about that.Ending was a little meh.....but was I happy?Right up till the end,before I resumed my "bad mood".That's a sign which shows that something bad will happen to someone if I find and opportunity to do so......

Sting

As usual, dad's began his "moneytalk" again, and this time he got a little smarter but still,getting a job at Coles, one of the largest (if not the largest) retail stores in Oz, is a pipe dream.....*sigh* If there truly was Santa, I'd wish for supportive parents instead of having one that whines and prefers to stick to her own words and not swallow the truth while the other rambles on about how useless everyone is without him...

Ah well,life's life.Dad's strapped weights on my ankles.NOT HAPPY.Researching the pros and cons,hopefully find something that suits my taste (namely, tendon snaps and increased thigh width). Will post to my door.Also, must print room privacy as well.Mum and dad know how to open but not close the door.

P.S mum,don't throw a fit whenever I ask and you reply with something snappy.After all, you did ask me something rather retarded...You're like 54 years old and a piece of cutlery called "fork" is what I used.I wonder how'd you manage to ask the question "Is that a spoon or a fork?".

Like you said,look before you talk.Unfortunately, you're gonna have to swallow your own words up one by one.They're beginning to get you...

Georgie

Countdown

The first is always the best, and every other time is worse than the last.Being first and last, welcome to the world where you'd better off being nothing..

You step on court,you're a hundred percent focused.You play your game,ignoring anything that happens outside the court.You don't want any distractions,and get annoyed when it happens.You're losing,but you don't lose your cool.A calm mind is needed at times like these.Even so, you still lose.At any moment when you step out of the court, during or after the match, you will lose your concentration.The adrenaline rush is gone, so has the edge, and you lose focus.Game, set, match to your opponent.

That's what happened yesterday. I know that I could have won, but I opted for the toilet break at 2-3 down on serve (when I gotta go,I gotta go...).All of a sudden,I stepped back on court, and 3 double faults came....

Too bad,I made my choice, but that's how it is. Tennis is as complex as any other sport.Each has their own opinions.I chose mine, and I don't think it's a wrong one.Besides, it's not like it's right or wrong,it's simply our own choices.Don't like it, then get used to it,don't argue that yours is correct(unless you're a radical pragmatist...)

*sigh*Slept for like 14 hours from 5pm-7am without getting dinner.Dad's coming back today, looks like I'm gonna have to get through another bad week.What a nice Christmas mood indeed....

Georgie

When I Come Around

Friend had to withdraw today...So sadd...One week of his trash talk all came down to nothing,and the next thing was I had to faqce the 5th seed without much of a hit up.Went down 0-6 2-6 (Yes, it's both I'm terrible and he's good) and went straight for doubles, where my partner and I were greeted by two pesky retards who couldn't stop blabbering. Honestly, I'd be willing to sponsor them a gender transplant or star in a show called "Gossip Boys".Took em out without much humiliation 6-0 6-0.Next stop the 2nd seed, one of them which I hold a grudge over (see post with Shaw Park stuff...somewhere....).But first,I gotta beat up my partner in singles consolation XD

Coxsedge,you may beat me in any fun games, but on court,YOU'RE BUSTED XD.See you in Club Coops.

Georgie

Morning glory is a fairytale story....

*sigh* Mum has done it again...This time waking me up just to hand me her phone which was a wrong number call from a person looking for "Joshua Toronto"...I mean, George Wong=Joshua Toronto? Is it me or you've been abducted by aliens?

Then, while making my breakfast, I prepared 2 pairs of bread, took out bacon and kaya...(Don't tell me you're thinking like my mum...) and she was like "Bacon and kaya don't mix"

"I've got 2 pairs,so I'm not mixing em"

"Just tellin you"

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh,MALLLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Yeah right, you're just trying to pick on me again.....

What a way to start the day.I gotta get my haircut(bush will be gone for at least 2 months XD) and register for tourneys.Mum still acting as if she's the one playing and still insists on leg weights.FYI,I don't have WiiSticks on my hand, and I don't hold tennis rackets with my foot.....When you're hitting the ball, you're moving.What's the point of able to get to the ball if you don't know how to hit? Yesh, you probably can't get to the ball as often, but at least you can control the ball....

Georgie

Tune up

Nothing much, still mum's insistence on leg weights while I go out alone in the park for some mind-refreshing views and take some pics.In short,I'm exploring :D

A little sick though..

Coxsedge, need you online to report your scores so I can analyse you for our match on Thursday XD

Georgie

Very sour indeed....

Actually, I felt like describing the Green Day concert last night, but I guess I'll just let you guys know on msn.Reason? you-know-who has done it again, spoiling the atmosphere of harmony by jumping the gun on certain matters and shooting the innocent....

Came back home with the feeling that the fun has ended and it's time to come back to reality. Guess what? I fell through the earth...

Drank barley to relieve my sore throat, and suddenly mum was like "You know why they don't call you?Because you don't do skipping,or running(Honestly, it makes me recall old times which I prefer not) or any sort.How could you just sit here and expect yourself to win?"

Now,it may sound true, but analyse what you-know-who said closely as well as the continuing scenario

Got ready for bed, definitely feeling irritated,. Planned for early leave and so I slept in my tennis gear.

Next morning, woke up at 730am, and the first thing was her whining.

"what time is your practice(830am),what time is it now?What can't you set your alarm?I purposely made this a test"

Yeah right, SO LAME.SINCE WHEN DID YOU SET TESTS?YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO PROVE YOU HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL WHILE DAD'S NOT AROUND AND CONTINUOUSLY BRAG ABOUT HOW WELL YOU COULD DO ON YOUR OWN.GET REAL,*****.

I left in about 5 mins without saying a word.It's a pain to argue with the "radical pragmatist"......I suppose you know what that means...plainly due to the fact that she is one....

Went for practice when I should be in a good mood(and I'm not).Backhand was unusual due to high consistency and power,serve was ok and my forehand which would be my main weapon was screwed up.Talk about bad days.....

Came back home,dad called and mum threatened that she would fly back to Philli due to his insistence over her getting a job. She whined when he requested me over the phone.He began talking his "moneytalk", and due to the boredom(or sickness) of hearing, I pointed the phone away until I feel I wanna listen and do so when "moneytalk" happens again.Rude,I know, but getiing a job at KFC is something I don't really wanna hear.I mean, STOP THINKING ABOUT FAST FOOD CHAINS,BAKA!!!

And now mum's forcing(not encouraging due to tone difference) me to exercise my legs because she thinks that my footwork is slack.OF COURSE IT IS.Unfortunately, I don't really like pleasing people by doing what they want if they force me to, and hence I sulkily picked up the bell and place it on my left arm.Still she insisted,and I wouldn't budge. In the end she was like:"What's the point if you're not winning at all?Look at the others.They train because they want to improve."

For your info,you-know-who, I don't see the others talk the way you do. They don't talk like they're the ones who want their kids to play.THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE,AND THAT P*SSES ME OFF.Like I said,I don't like pleasing anyone who forces me to do something, and I have my own way of doing things which doesn't suits yours or success's, and YOU CAN'T MAKE ME. After all,it's not like you're playing.And don't say it's "heartbrokening" (ooooh, and you correct me like a teacher =.=) to see me lose badly,DON'T WATCH THEN. Honestly, I don't really appreciate both of you watching, because you'd pop in a few audible words here and there, which totally irks me because I feel that it's not me playing for what I want to play for(something that makes me feel free to express myself), but playing for both of you.That, I have to say, IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT ONE DOES. Tchhh,discouraging,pushy, yet attempting to make a child play for your sake. I'VE GOT TWO WORDS FOR THAT: DOWNRIGHT FAILURE!!

All of us have different views, and no surprises if I get a backlash, but I consider this post a non-pragmatic one(relativist?realitical?whuddever...)

Sweet.........

After Dark

Grrr...woke up at almost 7pm,XD

Well,that's because I went for early morning tennis at 8.30am and lasted till 11.with temperatures of up to 100 degrees Farenheit, I think I went to the Nudgee Human Oven Club XD...2 and a half hours of torture and I'm gonna go on Thursday XD.

Green Day conceert:Getting pumped :D

Sweating soooo much..Eww...

Tiger, ima let you finish, but ROCK STARS HAVE THE MOST MISTRESSES OF ALL TIME!!Lol,that's Kanye style XD.I still do think you've been cheating, but I hope it's certainly not up to the ridiculous numbers that are appearing now.There's 2 views in this situation, and here's what they look like

1)A bad portrayal of men as playboys
If it's all true,people are going :"Oooooh Tiger,you're a fine stud alright...." and you'd probably end up being extra depressed andprobably retired from golf.

2)Bad portrayal of the women in this scandal as either **uts or piranhas
I'm more towards this one(excluding the **ut part): Some are true,but others are fame-seekers,eager to make a quick buck out of it.

Oh well, evolution is a funny thing....

Georgie

P.S. I'm not really happy because i slept XD

21st Century Breakdown

Green Day concert coming right up!!yay!Yesh,I certainly know the enemy XD.

With approval,I can now see em live :D

Home alone

Title says it all...

Parents out with friend so I'm more than happy to trash the whole house XD

Found out my cooking skills are somehow rusty.Rating for my noodles: 7.5/10(Definitely not good)

Went to the dentist yesterday.Never liked em',stayed the same.Will have to visit again on the 11th.ARGH. Resisted parents' insistence on braces.Helloooo,I'm not Brad Pitt nor am I gonna be some A-lister....

One tennis tourney cancelled...NOOOOO!!!

Still hoping job app fails.....=.=
